Comfortable support
By Jane O
from Houston, Texas
I wear these around the house. I need the arch support since going barefoot causes me arch and ankle pain. They were not perfectly comfortable until I wore them for a while. They needed breaking in.I wear a woman's size 8.5 or 9, so I purchased a men's 7. They are a bit short in the front, but they will do around the house or to the pool.
By Tmcollind
from Tennessee
Around the house wear and at my pool
I would buy these again and again, highly recommend.
By Grandpa
from South Bend, IN
I have problems with my plantar fasciitis feet and can not go barefoot for any length of time. These are great to slip on and wear around the house and are very comfortable as well as providing support that I have never found in a shoe like this. I hope they keep producing this type of shoe.
Love my new sandels!
By Ben

Feels great, I love them
By Doug M
from Marlton, NJ
For a guy with totally flat feet these sandals feel great. There adjustable so you get a good fit. When I wear them I do not have any heal pain.
Better than inner sole inserts by far!
By SunDance

These "slides" provided almost immediate relief from the pain of acute Plantar Fasciitis and aided in my complete recovery. Going forward, I'll never be without a pair. Very satisfied!

Yesterday's post focused on The New York Times' Room for Debate. This past Wednesday, the topic of focus included 15 experts, a large number for any NYT debate. The difference? They were all high school seniors. Titled How the Future looks from High School, the Times asked these students how they saw their future.
Since this is a topic that directly relates to our students, consider using this "debate" in the same manner as yesterday but with some tweaks. This is their opportunity to work on personal narratives and opening lines/hooks.
- Have them read, annotate and create a list of observations from the Times post.
- Discuss in small groups and/or discuss as a class.
- Have students take the role of an expert and construct their own short response to the topic.
- Ask them to come up with an engaging first line. This is never as easy as it seems. Try some of the following first:
- List your top three favorite food memories.
- Describe a reoccurring dream.
- What is you most vivid memory from kindergarten?
- Describe a guilty (and appropriate) pleasure.
- Ask them to come up with an engaging first line. This is never as easy as it seems. Try some of the following first:
The hardest thing will be for them to take this "snippets" and understand that everything/anything they see as important is largely reflective of their personalities and their future plans.
Once responses have been created, add one final step. Have students "respond" to the "responses." You'll notice that on the actual Room for Debate page it asks, "We hope readers, from high school seniors to senior citizens, will respond in comments: What are the pressures on students at your high school? What are 18-year-olds in your hometown expecting from their careers?" If you choose to, have students respond to one of the teens who posted their future plan.
If this is too impractical, consider having them post their original response for your class in Schoology or Edmodo. See our Favorites page for help with these applications.
- Create a thread for this discussion and have students post their responses.
- Require students to read and comment on two of the original posts.
- Ask that they respond, not with simple "thumbs up" language. Instead they should consider their response as a reflection that demonstrates understanding and thoughtful evaluation without critique.

"If you're always the smartest person in the room, you need to find another room."
6 comments:
- nicoleandmaggie said...
That's why I'm an academic.
I agree wholeheartedly that things being too easy and relying too much, on what I tell my kids is "cleverness" and not learning the habit of effort is a big issue for children who are easily capable of the tasks asked of them. I actually think it's a bigger issue now, because the "room" they'll eventually enter is much bigger and more global. So it's fortunate that they can explore that virtual world now.
What do we do for our kids -- First, we try to have them participate in activities that aren't in their core of strength. For one of our children, this is sports, where she has to expend effort, more effort than many, to keep up with her more talented peers. We also draw the analogy, that in some cases, her schoolmates are doing the same thing, in doing their math homework. This doesn't teach directly how to cope with not being the "smartest" person in the room, but it does help with learning to deal with not belong the most capable person in the room, and she has acquired habits of effort that she uses in her cognitive work as well.
Her effort + talent puts her in a league by herself in cognitive work, sometimes, and to deal with this, we have had to have her participate in larger communities, participating in national endeavors, so that she can see how capable people from the whole country are.
For my kids, finding another room has been easier in math than in other subjects. Both have been subject accelerated in math, one has been whole grade skipped as well. For the child who still has a few years to go in K-12, finding more interesting peers is becoming an issue in science and history. I'll have to go check out the article and see if there are any suggestions that my kid will consider.
We went with ZB's strategy for the last couple of years by enrolling our daughter in Ballet. This will be the last year simply because neither she nor I was interested in putting in the required effort to keep going. I think going forward the plan is to take the extracurricular areas where she has interest and skill (singing, art)and give her the opportunities to do so at the highest level possible where she's not the best in the room, but there's no reason she can't be. Learning to work hard at something you also enjoy can also be difficult for gifted kids who haven't been challenged. I want her to see that the combo of talent and discipline can have great benefits.
- Jen said...
Over the last year, "finding another room" has become more important for my 5th-grader. We've been lucky to discover two things:
-CoderDojo, an international movement of volunteer mentors who hold free, monthly or semi-monthly "learn to code" workshops for kids 7-17 (CoderDojo.com)
-A local LEGO User Group-affiliated brick artist who holds two-hour "open build" sessions three times a week in his workshop. Creations stay at the shop, but he offers encouragement, mini-tutorials and individualized design challenges for kids who aspire to become master builders. And, he plays electronica, so there are sporadic, spontaneous dance breaks during the builds.
In both environments, she is inspired by, and learning from mentors and peers who challenge her--and make her a part of communities that share her passions.
I have to tell you. We feel so lucky to have had our child when we did. We have noticed a trend of some of our 'go to' places (culturally) intentionally having to widen their accessibility and numbers coming through the door by adding elements that are supposedly aimed at children. So smart elements are actually removed and more child friendly items (like cardboard photo ops) are added. Basically, the need for revenue might trump previous culture.

Joi Weaver proposes that space exploration, that boon of sci-fi fans and writers, lacks a compelling narrative outside the scientific community. It's ironic that a subject that has served so many artists so well may itself suffer from poor storytelling, but the ongoing shut down of poorly-funded NASA programs proves her point. Here's an excerpt from her post at the Mars Artists Community blog:
The early space missions had a story that anyone could grasp: we were sending men to the moon! It was dangerous! It was exciting! It was putting our country in the forefront of science! This narrative kept public attention and support for the space program high through the Mercury, Gemini, and early Apollo missions.
But it fell short, ultimately resulting in an early cancellation of Apollo and hamstringing all future NASA spaceflight. Why? No-one ever developed a new narrative. "We've beaten the Russians to the moon," most people thought, "isn't that the end of the story?"
Of course it's not the end. But you wouldn't know that to talk to the average person-on-the-streets. Many people believe the shuttle was capable of lunar landings and had no idea the whole shuttle program was coming to an end until a few months ago. NASA, for all its media presence, failed to provide a new narrative. In the post-Challenger era, NASA decided to stress the safety of spaceflight, despite the fact that it is the riskiest human endeavor possible. NASA TV became little more than clean-cut men and women floating in a sterile environment, smiling as they talked in acronyms that meant nothing to the public: it was very safe, but it was terrible story-telling.
Fortunately, Joi argues, there's still time to do something about this:
Mars is still a blank slate in the public mind. Some of the more well-informed people may know about the rovers, but that's about it. This is an opportunity. We can still set the narrative for Mars, and more importantly, learn from NASA's mistake: the story can't just be about getting there, or we may never go back after the first trip.
A narrative is almost never set by a single person; rather, it's a hundred little stories that slowly take root in the heart and mind of the people, gradually changing the way we see the world. No-one can say that the MER program happened because Ray Bradbury wrote The Martian Chronicles. But would it have happened, or happened in the same way, if he hadn't written it? Where would the space program be without Bradbury, Asimov, Clarke, and a hundred others who fanned our desire to explore?
It's time to start creating the narrative for Mars, to show the Red Planet as we know it: a place of danger, beauty, and adventure. A place that could, eventually, become home.
Check out Joi's collaborative Mars narrative at the Mars Blog Project:Mission. And don't be afraid to contribute!

"You must stop baring your midriff," scolded her headmistress.
Her clothes are sold at Barneys, all over Europe and Asia, and are quite fitted, with provocative names like "headmistress Dress."
They admired and respected their headmistress, and her well-framed rules were rarely transgressed.
At eleven o'clock she received a summons to the headmistress's study.
"You are no longer a little girl," said the headmistress meaningly, beginning to feel secretly irritated.
"Indeed I shall not wait," returned the headmistress coldly.
I shall have to report you to your headmistress, I'm afraid.
A summons from the headmistress rarely boded good fortune to the recipient, and the girls stared at Gwen with interested sympathy.
Miss Grey, the headmistress, had a certain silvery, school-mistressy beauty of character.
The excitement was intense, though awe for the headmistress forbade anybody to speak.

Armstrong's ex-wife, Kristin played a pivotal part in convincing him to stop before his big comeback out of retirement.
Armstrong initiated the talks last month by sending Huffington an e-mail asking if they could meet.
Critics were shocked by the almost defiant lack of emotion Armstrong displayed in part one of his interview.
Armstrong was only sporadically communicative during the last two weeks of her life.
Mrs. Armstrong's air of excitement was very much in evidence.
From its officers Armstrong won response, sympathy, contributions.
Armstrong spoke of him in later years as his spiritual father.
Armstrong got a hold on the neck of his assailant and choked him until he let go.
And Armstrong read, his forehead slowly grooving into something very like a frown.

'Bias aside, Kaleta is becoming a legitimate National Hockey League player right before our eyes.

Gaustad stems Leafs' comeback bid in Sabres' win
'"They smelled blood and wanted to get back on the attack," Miller said. "We did a good job not panicking and getting pucks to the net. We were definitely rewarded with (Gaustad's) goal."'
Buffalo 5, Toronto 3
'The Sabres remained in 10th place in the Eastern Conference, five points behind Montreal for the eighth and final playoff spot but moved five points ahead of 11th-seeded Toronto.'
Sabres Gain Two More Points In 5 to 3 Win Over Toronto
'Gaustad scored after a mad scramble in front of the Toronto net. Pogge stopped the initialm shot, but on a clearing attempt hit the forward and went past the Leafs' netminder to give Buffalo the 5 to 3 lead. The lead would hold, the team surviving a late surge by the Leafs, including an extra attacker for the final two minutes with the net empty.'
Quick hits
'Paul Gaustad recorded a Gordie Howe Hat Trick in the win; registering a goal, assist and a fight in the contest. Gaustad earned an assist 37 seconds into the game on Jochen Hecht's goal, net Buffalo's fifth score of the night midway through the third period and earned two fighting majors- taking on both Jamal Mayers and Pavel Kubina.'

I'm by no means a guarantee, and I'm by no means a savior. I can only go out there and give my honest effort and get in the way to stop the puck."'
Moore downplays clash with old mates
'"That's the way this league works," Moore said after practice in HSBC Arena. "Players change teams a lot. You have to face your old teams. Again, it's an important game because it's an important game for us in our drive to make something happen here. That's why it's important."'
Tellqvist move sure looks peculiar
'For example, the idea that the Sabres — a team notorious for hoarding draft choices — would ship a fourth-round pick to the desert for a goalie who got exactly two starts simply doesn't make sense.'
Sabres alumni, CLCS staff square off
'The Alumni Team included Rob Ray, Craig Muni, Mike Boland, Derek Smith and Morris Titanic, along with Kevyn Adams, who won a Stanley Cup with the Carolina Hurricanes and now lives in Bemus Point during summer, and Ruben Brown, formerly an offensive lineman with the Buffalo Bills.'
Sabres desperate for playoffs
'"It is extremely important we make the playoffs," Ruff said during a phone interview last night. "We are sometimes the heartbeat of the city and have been, given that the Bills haven't made the playoffs (since Jan. 8, 2000). "We NEED to make it."'

Re: Billick Stays?
Re: Billick Stays?
Come on T. McGahee is the only exciting part of this offense this year. Jamal wouldn't do a damn thing behind this O-line, and he'd be bitching and moaning to the media like he did all last year. He's a malcontent.
Re: Billick Stays?
Agreed on Jamal vs Willis. If we get a new OC and new system, a new QB and legit #1 WR, then Willis will be even better. Man...that's a long list!!!
Re: Billick Stays?
Billick is staying.
All of you demanding runs on 2d and 1 and 3d and 1 and whatever got a snootfull of them last night. Where did it get us?
Sometimes it's not as easy as replacing the head coach.
Sometimes your defensive system depends on effective play from the CBs and you don't get it. Sometimes you invest five years in a mediocre quarterback, never getting the 'Franchise' guy, and when he has to play is hot and cold just like he's always been. Sometimes your only effective DE goes down with a season ending injury, and your best receiver misses a bunch of games with an injury.
Laying this turd of an offense, and turd of a season, at the feet of Brian Billick is easy to understand after that embarrasment last night.. "The buck stops here" and so on. But it's not that simple.
One explanation for a consistently bad offense, or at least, consistently bad explosive-type offense, is poor coaching. Another explanation is that this team has not had a truly good quarterback since Vinny Testaverde.
I am completely in favor of having a true offensive coordinator. Not Rick Neuheisel, but a real NFL pro. But I am not in favor of canning a perfectly good head coach who has never had a good quarterback under center, and still put together some decent years with what he's had.
Where is Dungy without Manning? Belicheat without Brady? Some of you need to come back to earth I think.
His definitions and arguments were so clear in his own mind that he was unable to understand how any reasonable person could honestly differ with him.

Re: Billick Stays?
I know Dave. I don't really expect people to agree with me. But in answer to BEZ, yes I'm serious.
Look. If the FO decides it's time to get rid of Billick, fine, I understand, this season has been that bad. But I for one - that's why it's *my* :2c: - think that decision should not be made lightly, and all those here & elsewhere who think it's a silver bullet are oversimplifying.Festivus

Re: Billick Stays?
I've always thought you're fair festivus, and what you're saying does make a lot of sense.
At some point though, I am going to be VERY entertained if Redman and the Falcons stomp the Saints tonight. The meltdown WILL be hilarious.
Also, who the heck replaces billick when/if he goes? That's the fun one right there. I have absolutely no idea.
We'll see what happens here I think everyone can agree this is going to be one of the most meaningful offseasons in a long time. Boy do the McNair and Ogden contracts really KILL the team now. :grbac: :grbac: :grbac:

Re: Billick Stays?
This team has had many problems this year and everyone wants to see Billick gone because its a bad season, without looking at the big picture. Think about what Heap brings to the offense. Think about what Pryce, CMac, and Rolle bring to the D. These guys take the pressure off the other pieces on the chess board. Heap and Pryce getting double-teams means other guys' have to work beyond their capabilities.......
Look at the big picture and context of this season.....we've had numerous injuries that have crippled us on both sides of the ball. Is BB the reason our season has tanked? Yes and no. He couldn't make a whole lot of adjustments with the players he's had because they're not as good as the team thought....

Re: Billick Stays?
The 'what happens if we fire Billick' question actually doesn't bother me at all. They'd find somebody, somewhere. From outside the organization, I hope. Promoting from within if the whole point was to change the culture would seem to defeat the purpose. But it's not going to happen, and for all the complaints about Billick's contract, I don't think that has much if anything to do with it.Festivus

Re: Billick Stays?
I agree its very hard to judge Billick with all the injuries.
Its easy to judge Billick who did not come through the NFL coaching ranks.But started off as a PR guy for the 49ers.He was brought here on the grounds of his prolific offense at the Vikings.And what have we had,defense and ball control.It worked well back in the day,but you cannot keep playing the same tune over and over again.The rest of the NFL has passed the Ravens by.
This team has fallen behind personnel wise and coaching wise on offense.
The train has crashed it is a wreck. Billick is the train driver.Whatever he says
is going to fall on deaf ears.There was a glimmer of hope vs the PATS, where I thought Billick could have held on.
With a season like this,Steve B has to look in every detail from top to bottom
on what has gone wrong,why it has gone wrong.And where the buck stops.
Billick goes if he has lost the players and the fans.
Billick goes if he will not relinquish control of the offense to a new offensive co-ordinator with their own playbook.And is told to keep his dirty paws off the playcalling during the game.
Billick should be a figurehead coach and let his co-ordinators do their jobs.
It is very hard to come back from a season like this.Without some house cleaning.The team needs a fresh approach and better discipline.Its wheels have been spinning in the mud for too long now.Put the smile back on your face.This is a 60 minute ball game.

Chris Matthews: Is Al Qaeda "trying to get people to vote Democrat for president?"
Research ››› ››› ANDREW SEIFTER
On the July 8 edition of MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews, host Chris Matthews echoed unsubstantiated claims that Al Qaeda would like Senator John Kerry (D-MA) to beat President George W. Bush in the November presidential election.
In a discussion with Senators John Breaux (D-LA) and Richard Shelby (R-AL), Matthews asked, "What happens, Senator Breaux, if it looks like Al Qaeda is playing cards here, playing a game of trying to get people to vote Democrat for president to basically make their case worldwide? Doesn't it put your party in a terrible position of having Al Qaeda rooting for you?" Then, referring to the March terrorist attack in Madrid, Matthews said: "They basically blew up the train systems over there and basically made the case, you got to get rid of your pro-war government, and the people did just that in the elections. Are they going to try the same thing here [in the U.S.]?"
Matthews made explicit what could have been inferred from self-serving predictions by Bush administration officials. President Bush and national security adviser Condoleezza Rice have both expressed concern that terrorists might try to affect the outcome of the upcoming U.S. presidential election. As Media Matters for America previously noted, a June 7 New York Daily News article reported that President Bush said to NBC Nightly News with Tom Brokaw anchor Brokaw: "It worries me that the Al Qaeda leadership says, 'Well, we may be able to affect the election of the United States.'" And on May 28, Media Matters for America pointed out claims that Rice made after the Madrid bombings (which some believe led to the ouster of Spain's pro-Bush prime minister in elections held three days after the attack). As Suzanne Malveaux reported on the April 18 broadcast of CNN's Inside Edition, Rice voiced concern that terrorists might try to bring about a particular result in the U.S. election in November -- suggesting that their desired result is a Kerry victory. However, as MMFA also noted, a March 17 Reuters article reported evidence suggesting terrorists have precisely the opposite preference. In a statement claiming responsibility for the March bombings in Madrid, the Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades -- a terrorist organization claiming ties with Al Qaeda -- said it wants to see President Bush reelected in November.
Matthews's claim that the ouster of the "pro-war government," or Spanish Populist Party, resulted directly from the Madrid bombings -- an assertion many U.S. media outlets made -- is questionable. Although opinion polls taken before the attack showed the Populist Party's lead over the rival Socialist Party to be between as little as three and as much as six percentage points, these figures fall at or near the statistical margin of error. Furthermore, in the March 21 European edition of TIME magazine, Paris and Brussels bureau chief James Graff reported, "[J]ust hours before the bombings, results leaked from private PP [Populist Party] and PSOE [Socialist Party] polling showed the parties in a dead heat, according to the veteran Madrid journalist José Antonio Martínez Soler." After the bombings, the Populist Party was publicly accused of a cover-up when, as Graff noted, the "government [led by former Spanish Prime Minister José María Aznar] persisted in blaming the Basque terrorists of ETA -- even after news broke of an al-Qaeda connection," as possible retaliation for "Aznar's support for the war in Iraq, which 90% of Spaniards opposed." As a result, Graff reported, "[O]n election day, the Socialists surged to an astounding 5% lead over the PP."
As Media Matters for America previously noted, CNN justice correspondent Kelli Arena reported -- under the guise of a statement of fact -- on the May 27 edition of CNN's Wolf Blitzer Reports, "[T]here is some speculation that Al Qaeda believes it has a better chance of winning in Iraq if John Kerry is in the White House."
One day before Matthews's remarks, during the July 7 broadcast of MSNBC News Live, anchor Amy Robach asserted -- without citing a source -- that New York City will be a "bigger target" than Boston during this summer's national political conventions. Robach questioned whether that was because New York will host President George W. Bush and the Republican National Convention -- "the same government that chose to go to war with Iraq and Al Qaeda has much of a beef against." Robach's statement on MSNBC recalled The New York Times' July 4 assertion that "New York is regarded as a higher risk than Boston [the site of the Democratic convention] by counterterrorism officials because President Bush is a Republican and because of consistent intelligence."
From the July 8 edition of Hardball with Chris Matthews:
MATTHEWS: What happens, Senator Breaux, if it looks like that Al Qaeda is playing cards here, playing a game of trying to get people to vote Democrat for president, to basically make their case worldwide? Doesn't it put your party in a terrible position of having Al Qaeda rooting for you?
MATTHEWS: Everybody saw what happened in Spain a little while ago. They basically blew up the train systems over there and basically made the case, you got to get rid of your pro-war government, and the people did just that in the elections. Are they going to try the same thing here?

Let's go PACK! Ewww.. It felt dirty even saying it.
packers have jennings, matthews, woodson out. can't see them winning.
Anything is possible. The Packers don't use injury as an excuse. I bet they come out blazing. Hopefully they can sustain.
Packets? IT guy in me coming out.. Lol.. Actually, I was once again owned by my phone's auto correct.
Go packets.
Yes. I couldn't say it better myself. GO PACKETS!
@ Aaron Rodgers stache.
cmon packets!!!
delay the inevitable for one more week.
He looks like a 70's porn star.
I HATE me some Aaron Rodgers, but not half as much as Shelie.
Go Packets! I hope Eli continues to stink up the joint.
Sports Center just tweeted this:
SportsCenter @SportsCenter
A whopping 38 players have thrown a TD pass since Eli Manning threw his last score back in Week 7 - This list includes WR Golden Tate.
He's a good Qb with 2 rings, yes, but Giants fans need to shut up about him being "elite."
Oh look, a running game. Probably got more on that one run than we get in most games.
Looks like the gnats got there mojo back.
Packers without Matthews and Woodson? Yup they won't be able to stop the Giants tonight
Because of one breakout run?
must be nice to get a td on the opening drive.
But you LOVE Ben ruthlessraper, you know...you're second quarterback.

"We live on a tiny world in a cosmos of a hundred billion galaxies, each with a hundred billion stars." - Robert M. Hazen, "The Story of Earth"
Throughout the centuries, scholars and philosophers have asked and wondered: How was the Earth formed? How does it move through the skies? What is it made of? How did it become a living world? In "The Story of Earth: The First 4.5 Billion Years, From Stardust to Living Planet," geophysicist Robert M. Hazen takes readers on an illuminating journey through the 4.5 billion years of Earth's history.
Hazen illustrates how the continuous tectonic shifts, the differing levels of oxygen in the atmosphere, the renewing of Earth's raw materials through volcanic activity and the interaction between mineral formations and the environment significantly contributed to the world that we know today. Through his vivid and readable style, Hazen's book will enhance your view of our unique planetary home.
When a book like "The Story of Earth" covers 4.5 billion years, a variety of subjects are discussed, including gravity, different geologic time periods and the Earth's uniqueness. Each of the following three books develops these themes in more depth.
In "Gravity: How the Weakest Force in the Universe Shaped Our Lives," physicist Brian Clegg shows that the crucial force of gravity is anything but simple. Clegg's initial chapters focus on the historical development of the different understandings and views of gravity through the ages - starting with Aristotle (fourth century B.C.) and including Roger Bacon (13th century), Nicolaus Copernicus (15th century), Johannes Kepler and Galileo (both 16th century), Isaac Newton's law of universal gravitation (17th century) and the theory of general relativity by Albert Einstein (20th century).
Clegg comments that if gravity was not the strength that it was, the Earth would not be orbiting around the sun and we would not be here. Clegg's inclusions of physicist Richard Feynman's thoughts are a final highlight of the book.
For those interested in exploring the geologic time period of 2.6 million to 10,000 years ago more deeply, "The Last Lost World: Ice Ages, Human Origins and the Invention of the Pleistocene" by Lydia V. Pyne, a historian and philosopher of science, and Stephen J. Pyne, a geologist, is a compelling read. This epoch includes an ice age, woolly mammoths, Neanderthals, extinctions and the appearance and evolution of the hominins. The Pynes weave together a historical/philosophical narrative with scientific hands-on analyses of artifacts, plate tectonics and radiometric dating. Authors Pyne and Pyne provide a fascinating perspective on this recent epoch that shaped human development.
How unique is our planet Earth? Do planets similar to Earth orbit distant stars? In "Mirror Earth: The Search for Our Planet's Twin," science writer/journalist Michael Lemonick provides comprehensive interviews with leading astronomers (who call themselves exoplaneteers) about their search throughout the universe for an Earth-like planet.
With today's technological breakthroughs, these exoplaneteers and the specially designed photometer (or light meter) on the recently launched Kepler satellite have confirmed approximately 100 Earth-like exoplanets. Lemonick describes the different techniques used to search for planets, including high-precision light measurements of the wobbles and flickers of the stars that the planets orbit and transit photometry (a planet crossing in front of a star). The exoplaneteers truly believe that there may be a "Mirror Earth" identified and confirmed within months rather than years.

Detroit • Damien Brunner had two goals and two assists, and Joakim Andersson scored twice in the Detroit Red Wings' 8-3 win over the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday.
Henrik Zetterberg and Niklas Kronwall had a goal and two assists each, Daniel Cleary added a goal and an assist, and Jordin Tootoo also scored for Detroit, which netted three power-play goals in the second period.
Pavel Datsyuk and Jonathan Ericsson added two assists, and Jimmy Howard made 18 saves.
Daniel Sedin had two goals, and Chris Higgins also had a goal for Vancouver. Henrik Sedin had two assists, and Roberto Luongo stopped 20 shots but lost in regulation for the first time this season.
Cleary tied it 3-3 at 2:57 of the second period when he tipped the puck in during a goal-mouth scramble for his fourth goal. Zetterberg's sixth gave the Red Wings the lead with 4:50 left in the second, and Brunner made it 5-3 when he calmly flipped in a rebound with 42 seconds remaining.

What is that SBSettings skin that is being used?
Looks sick
Great read by the way.
Should be called "serious sbsettings". I believe it's installed with sbsettings. (is for me at least).
[QUOTE=A New DAY;6546411]*SIGH* I remember the good old days before devs started charging stupid amounts for mediocre TWEAKS (not even apps)... $3 for something like Barrel? Give me a break. QUOTE]
An order of McNuggets it soooo much more worth it!
3$ isn't that much and it is always better than that order of McNuggets (too much fats). However I think that $3 tweak is always too much to only change "graphical" aspects of your iPhone (it is a bit capricious)..
EDIT: @Anarchy23 It is not working for me too and I didn't even changed a thing (just updated aloud).
I think NCSettings should be one and Activator at number 2.
Shame the Tetherme doesn't yet work on ipad 2 for use with Bluetooth 3/
the jailbreak apps are definitely overpriced. I'm not trying to say I undervalue the programmer's efforts, but if these apps were available legitimately via the app store, you would never get more than .99 for most of these apps (especially Barrel, Callbar, etc.).
Full-blown apps in the app store with mass amounts of functionality by indie developers have been made free, but small tweaks through cydia cost as much as 4 regular full applications. It's kind of ridiculous when you look at it that way. If a programmer wants to make money, perhaps they should look into building a suite of tweaks. There is no reason an app from Cydia's store can't feature the functionality of Barrel, Callbar, Aloud, iFile, etc. for $10. You'd get a huge user-base because it's all in one tidy app that people don't have to go out in search of.

- Model: 7"
Split of German death metal bands. NECROMORPH was formed in August 1995 and since then experienced lots of changes in its line up, which actually formed the band"s current musical and technical level. Remaining original band members are Fritz (r.) and Scimitartor (2nd f.l.). Feuersturm (l.) torments the guitar since 1998 and since November 1999 NecroScull is torturing the drum kit (2nd f.r.). From spring to fall 2002 Jana enriched the band"s lineup, playing the second guitar. Founded as a Black Metal band, NECROMORPH"s current style could be explained as a raw mixture of Death and Thrash Metal as well as Grind and Crust elements. ANENCEPHALUS was formed as a 2-man band called RAPED CADAVER in 1992. The 2 members, Wulf and Pedda then were joined by Tim and Micha in 1994, and changed the name to ANENCEPHALUS. Since then the line-up has changed several times, and the band has released a demo, a mCD, and a 7" single so far. (Written by VP)Expand

LISTEN: Porter Robinson shares new 'Worlds' single 'Sad Machine,' announces album release date
Listen to Porter Robinson on iHeartRadio
Porter Robinson is really excited for the release of his album Worlds. The producer has shared a new track from the album called "Sad Machine," on which he makes his vocal debut!
He explains the track on Twitter as a duet between himself and a robot girl. He explains that he used a Vocaloid which is a synth that "recreates the human singing voice."
Porter tells Fader, "The idea of a duet between a lonely robot girl and the human boy who encounters her occurred to me. I didn't have much time before I had to turn in the entire album, so I just sang the male parts. I wanted something that felt distantly sad, a little cute, surreal, hopeful, and maybe somehow evocative of fiction?"
The single is available now on iTunes.
Porter also revealed the release date to worlds:
and while i'm at it, let's announce the release date of the album: "worlds" is coming out on august 12. ( 。•̀ᴗ-)~*♡

Jefferson City, Tenn. - The Tornados scored 10 points in the fourth quarter behind Eric Watts 46 yard touchdown grab and Austin Clark's 18 yard field goal tied the score up at 24 apiece, but Carlos Lopez led the host Eagles to the victory, hitting a 25 yard field goal attempt as time expired as Brevard fell to Carson-Newman on Saturday afternoon, 27-24.
Brevard (3-6, 1-4 SAC) was led by Kelvin Jeter as the sophomore slot back carried the ball 13 times for 69 yards, while Aaron Reese added 29 rushing yards and a one yard touchdown plunge, as well as going 7-for-11 through the air for 137 yards and a score. Watts hauled in three passes for 88 yards to lead the BC aerial assault, while Sean Lampkin recorded his first collegiate reception for 17 yards in the game.
Tyron Douglas led the Eagles (4-5, 2-3 SAC) rushing game as Carson-Newman racked up 311 yards and three rushing scores against the Tornados defense. Douglas carried the ball 20 times for 144 yards while Brandon Haywood added 23 carries and 87 yards as the Eagles improved to 5-0 lifetime against the Tornados.
The Tornados struck first, taking the opening kickoff and moving up the field on 13 plays, advancing 72 yards and taking 6:53 off the clock before Reese went up the middle on third-and-goal from the one yard line to put Brevard up 7-0 with 8:07 left in the first quarter.
Carson-Newman scored two possessions later, taking advantage of a BC fumble to take over at their own 45 yard line. Haywood scrambled for 21 yards on the first play from scrimmage, putting the ball on the BC side of the field, and six plays later Lopez drilled a 38 yard field goal through the uprights with 1:02 left in the first quarter to cut the lead to 7-3.
The Eagles took their first lead of the contest late in the second quarter as Douglas broke through the line of scrimmage on second-and-nine from the Brevard 25 yard line, outracing the Tornados defense to the goal line to put the Eagles up 10-7 with 3:54 to play in the half.
Brevard's final possession of the half turned over on downs at the Carson-Newman 40 yard line, but Rufus Jenkins made sure the Tornados went into the locker room with the lead, scooping up a Haywood fumble at the C-N 35 yard line and carrying the ball all the way to the end zone to put Brevard up 14-10 as the teams went into the half.
Carson-Newman came out of the half and took the first possession down the field on 11 plays, covering 64 yards before Nate Inman crossed the goal line at the 10:01 mark to put the Eagles up 17-14.
The Eagles improved on their lead in the third quarter as Douglas scored his second rushing touchdown of the game with 1:34 left in the period, capping of a nine play, 69 yard drive with a four yard score to give Carson-Newman the two score advantage heading into the final 15 minutes of play.
Brevard answered on the first possession of the fourth quarter as Reese connected with Watts on second-and-one from the C-N 46 yard line, and the 6-4 junior wide receiver reached the end zone for his seventh receiving touchdown of the season to cut the lead back to 24-21 with 14:51 to play.
A 36 yard pass from Reese to Watts put the Tornados in prime scoring position in their final drive of the game, giving the Tornados first-and-goal on the C-N four yard line. Three carries by Reese and Jack Woerner moved the ball to the one yard line where Clark calmly drilled the tying score with 3:45 to play, knotting the game up at 24 apiece.
On the final drive of the game, Haywood connected with Douglas on a 32 yard pass on third-and-11 to put the ball at the Brevard 11 yard line, and three plays later as time expired, Lopez drilled the ball through the uprights from 25 yards out to give the Eagles the 27-24 victory.
Rommie Fairchild and C.J. Wilson led the Brevard defense on the afternoon with 10 tackles apiece, while Jenkins added eight takedowns and two tackles for loss to go with his 35 yard fumble recovery touchdown. Emmanuel Gbunblee recorded his first collegiate sack in the contest to pace the Tornados defense in the game.
Zeke Andrews led the Eagles in the game with nine tackles, four behind the line of scrimmage and two quarterback takedowns, while Luis Doray and Larry Lumpkin had six tackles apiece for Carson-Newman.
The Tornados return home to Brevard Memorial Stadium on Saturday, November 5th, for Senior Day as they welcome SAC opponent Catawba College. Kickoff between the Tornados and Indians is set for 2 p.m.

|Campus Communicators
The Southeastern Raptor Center in Auburn's College of Veterinary Medicine released an adult bald eagle back into the wild on Saturday, May 11, 2013. The eagle, found nearly a year ago in one of the ponds near the Auburn Fisheries Center, is the first locally found and rehabilitated bald eagle to be released by the Raptor Center.
"It's exciting because the public and Auburn community support us in many ways," said Jamie Bellah, director of the Southeastern Raptor Center. "It's nice to be able to release an eagle where they can see them fly off into their habitat. It's a special thing."
The bird, whose gender is unknown, underwent full diagnostic tests when it was brought to the center. Tests revealed no signs of illness or major trauma, said Liz Crandall, a raptor rehabilitation specialist at the Raptor Center.
"We conducted a number of diagnostics to check out the eagle's health and except for exhibiting suppressed or poor endurance, it checked out fine," she said. "It's very unusual for us to see a bird this healthy."
The eagle recuperated and is now back in its native habitat.
A mission of the Southeastern Raptor Center is to rehabilitate injured, ill or orphaned birds of prey. Annually the center takes in between 200 and 275 birds of prey from across the Southeast and has treated and released thousands of birds back into the wild. The education unit has provided educational programs for thousands of schools, civic groups and churches in Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee and Kentucky.

Cover Oregon makes progress with applicants
Cover Oregon has hired more people to help process nearly 30,000 applications for health insurance. The deadline for enrollment has been pushed by to December 27th for the applicants who have received their forms.
Since December 4th, 13,374 people have been signed up for the Oregon Health Plan and 7,500 people have been enrolled in private insurance. Over the last week, the number of people enrolled in private insurance increased over 6,000 and that number is expected to grow as more applications are processed.
Acting Director of Cover Oregon Bruce Goldberg says they are trying to process all of the applications by the deadline. Half of the applications have mistakes and those that have not been corrected will not have insurance by January 1, 2014. Goldberg says those people should by private insurance if it's critical for January 1.
Goldberg says they still don't have a date for when the website will be working. They are hiring two outside experts in writing code for websites to review the work that's being done by Oracle.
The state is withholding $18 million to $20 million in payments to Oracle until the website is working. Goldberg says the state is considering going after Oracle for the costs of hiring people to process paper applications. That has cost at least $4 million. Governor John Kitzhaber has called for a full investigation going back to the process used to select Oracle as the contractor to build the website.

Tornados split with Cavaliers on Saturday afternoonFebruary 21, 2009
Liz Houser wins fourth consecutive start, while Tornados offense produces 21 hits
Black Mountain, N.C. - The Tornados split their Saturday afternoon doubleheader on the road in Black Mountain, N.C. against Montreat College, losing the first game 3-2, while Jennifer Brown's two-run double in the top of the seventh put the game away for Brevard in the second game, 6-1.
Brevard moves to 6-2 for the season, while Montreat stays even at 5-5.
Game 1: Montreat 3, Brevard 2
Jennifer Gift (2-2) threw her fourth complete game of the season, allowing three runs and striking out two in 6.1 innings, but dropped her second straight contest as the Tornados offense was unable to clear the bases, stranding 12 runners against Montreat starter Rachel Stowe.
Becca Curlee went 2-4 with a run and an RBI for the Tornados, while Jamie Poling went 2-3 with a double and a pair of runs scored to lead the Cavaliers.
Brevard opened the scoring in the top of the third as Curlee led off the inning with a single up the middle. A bunt single by Kristina Clayton moved Curlee into scoring position where she scored on Katie Thornburg's one-out single through the right side of the infield, giving Brevard the 1-0 lead.
The Tornados put another run on the board in the fourth as Jennifer Brown opened the inning with a single to right. Brown advanced to third after a pair of outs, before scoring on an error by the Cavaliers shortstop on Curlee's grounder.
Montreat tied the game up at 2-2 in the bottom of the fifth as Tiffany Davis reached on a one-out single. A base hit by Poling moved Davis to second, where she scored on Tameron Sealey's single. Amber Summerow's sacrifice fly to right field scored Poling to tie the game.
Brevard loaded the bases in the top of the fifth and in the sixth, but were unable to push across a run as Katie Brown ended the fifth with a grounder to the shortstop, and Brooker flew out to right to end the sixth.
The Cavaliers pushed across the winning run in the bottom of the seventh as Poling led off the inning with a double to left. Sealey's single moved Poling over to the third, where she scored on Erin Cross's one-out walk-off single as Montreat took game one, 3-2.
Game 2: Brevard 6, Montreat 1
Liz Houser (4-0) stayed undefeated in the nightcap, giving up seven hits, and striking out two as the Tornados offense pounced on Montreat starter Meredith Mitchell early as they cruised to the win.
Clayton went 2-4 in the second game, with a pair of runs scored, while Summerow had two hits for Montreat.
The Tornados got on the board in the top of the first as Curlee opened up the inning with a base hit to centerfield, and moved all the way around the bases, scoring on a passed ball by Montreat catcher, Pike.
The Cavaliers responded in the bottom of the inning, tying the game up with Summerow scored on Cross's double to left, to put the game at 1-1.
Brevard added unearned runs in the top of the third and the fourth as Clayton scored on an error by Montreat's third baseman in the third after opening the inning with a double, while Katie Brown came across the plate in the fourth on a two-out error by the Cavalier's first baseman as Brevard went up 3-1.
Houser meanwhile, was moving through the Montreat lineup. After allowing the run in the first inning, Houser allowed only five more runners in recording her fourth straight complete game.
The Tornados put the game away in the top of the seventh as the Tornados loaded the bases on three consecutive singles by Clayton, Mallory and Brooker. Thornburg was plunked by Mitchell, bringing Clayton home, and Jennifer Brown smashed a double to straightaway centerfield, driving in Mallory and Brooker as the Tornados sealed the split, 6-1.
Brevard takes a week off before heading to Simpsonville, S.C. to take part of the Mid-South Classic. Brevard opens the Classic with a pair of games on Friday, February 27th, against West Virginia State and Tiffin University. First pitch for the Brevard-State game is set for 6 p.m.

Watch: Runaway Tire Flies into Pharmacy
Security cameras in Turkey captured a rogue tire that somehow fell from a moving vehicle, careen into a pharmacy, and smash into two people.
The rather riveting footage shows the wheel barreling down the road from a distance and then bouncing off of a parked bicycle.
The collision causes the tire's path to pivot, sending it straight through the front door of a pharmacy as if it desperately needed to fill a prescription.
An awesome change in the video's perspective then reveals the fast-moving wheel come flying into the shop and hit two unsuspecting men sitting at a desk.
Check out the incredible footage at the Coast to Coast AM website.

Back in the day, it was believed that a goat had a calming effect on high-strung racehorses so owners would put a goat in the stall with their horse before a race. Unscrupulous opponents would sometimes steal the completion's goat in the hopes of making that horse lose the race thus the phrase "don't let them get your goat" referring to stopping someone from doing something to upset you.

My favorite Grapevine historic/agri adventure is Nash Farm, the oldest operating farmstead in Tarrant County. It all began in 1843 when General Sam Houston negotiated a treaty of peace between the Republic of Texas and 10 American Indian nations with claims on the area. The following year, the first settlers started arrived in covered wagons. In 1859 Thomas Jefferson Nash came from Kentucky to the Grape Vine Prairie to create a better life for his family. He found a piece of farmland he loved and bought the farm for $500. It proved a good investment. Thomas, his family, and his brother, William, ran the farm for many years.
