The Shoes Blog

I have AND1 basketball shoes and ever since I started wearing them my ankles started hurting. Is this because of the shoe brand or just some freak thing happening with my ankles? I started wearing them in August for a basketball camp, I didn’t notice it as much then because I thought it was just going to go away. But now as I start the basketball season I realized the pain wasn’t going away. Any help?
Also if you could please leave me suggestions for a better pair. btw I’m a girl. womens size 7 or 7.5

no sry you might just have to buy some new basketball shoes. And1s usally dont have grip or stablility. If I were you I would invest in some sharkleys

the second one in the brown option

I love the second choice that is solid color. I like all the design details like the knit collar, the center back button on the shoulder flap and the lighter topstitching on the seams. The way it is constructed would be slenderizing, too. Besides, as popular as plaid is right now, solid color coats will look better with far more outfits.

I put a link to a really trendy military style coat that comes in red and has a fabulous toasty warm high collar. It is also a style that you could wear chunky cardigans under without feeling like a little sausage. I love to wear red coats since they always put me in a happy, confident mood when everything is cold and snowy outside.
Just a thought!! : P

Good looking, 55 yr. old VP of construction firm.

He has everything he needs or wants!

He drinks beer (only) and smokes cigars but only a certain kind (gift baskets with various types are not an option – I’ve tried).
He restored a car, but it’s perfected and nothing I could know is needed. (’57 Bel Aire)
He works with tools but owns every type – probably more than one, he’s already told me that.
He wears cologne, but can’t smell!
He’s a freemason, but I’ve exhausted all gifts that relate
He golfs, but has brand new clubs, bag, shoes, magazine subscr. He already stocks up on golf balls and tees.
He has a brand new computer, and doesn’t care for any other tech-related items.
He buys new clothes all the time and hates my taste (he’s a bit, um, unstylish)
He’s fun – but have jokingly bought him nerf guns, portable videogames and remote control cars in the past.
No hunting or fishing or bowling.
He loves food – but a "meat and potatoes" type of guy – one that already has Omaha steaks deliver all the time.
No sweet tooth.
Will not watch a movie twice, nor tv shows.
He gets gift cards from clients all the time.
No ties.
Renovating the house – well, hired help is
He gardens, but barely. Tomatoes and squash only, I think.
Likes jewelry, but his taste is not affordable.
Doesn’t care for sports – goes to some NFL games, but not a true "fan"
New wallet. His type of watches wouldn’t suit my budget.
He already has a stack of books he claims to be "getting a start on"
Mom deals with decor. Nothing like that would be of interest.
No work gear and he has a company car. GPS, cell phone and accessories are redundant.
Travels so much for work, he doesn’t care to go for pleasure. Travel items – luggage, travel pillows, etc. would never be used.
He’s practical.
We have a huge inground pool. Mom buys the fun stuff, and other people come to clean.
We have a game room – likes billards and darts – new balls, cues, chalk-holder even. Table was recently recovered and whole dartboard set-up is new.
Has an outdoor firepit – had two, gave me one- He already have me his old patio furniture that was from this summer, he didn’t like it.
He has all the music he cares for, I’ve tried to buy him some and he either already had it or didn’t care b /c he has satellite radio.
Would not be caught dead at a concert.
Does his own lawn, oddly enough. He has all the needs, like mower, leaf blower, weed eater, pesticides…

ANY other ideas? In reality he’s fun but honestly has all the necessities. Therefore, I need a unique gift that isn’t generic – but must be practical too. He’s not a fan of "gifting for the sake of gifting." Also, not religious.
I think all of you have given me some great ideas! Not sure which I’ll pick, but I’ll def check out some of the websites you all recommended. He loves nice wallets, and his are always getting worn out. As for the classic car stuff, I just have no idea where to begin – he’s not the type for "novelty" items like keychains and such, but maybe I could get out of him if he’d like a new gear stick or seat covers – his car is bad-a and I get it eventually!
The utopia beer from Sam Adams is a great idea (I worked at a liquor store all through college and we had the really neat looking metal bottle) for the connoisseur, but my dad likes bud and bud only…

Anyways, thanks for all the ideas – you have helped immensely!

Still, any other novel ideas are still welcome !!!

So he has a fully restored 57 Chevy. You don’t put in that kind or time or money into an old car unless you like old cars. There are a lot of places online that sell parts for old cars. They also sell other really neat stuff that relate to old cars. Shirts, hats, keychains, jewelery, lighters, chairs, clocks…..literally anything you can think of. Try them, you might find something there.

1. Push the battery connector wires into the breadboard. In Figure 3, below, the red wire is inserted at E2. (All of the holes in row 2, from A to E, are now connected to the positive lead from the battery). Insert the black wire into the breadboard (hole E4). All row 4 holes from A to E are now connected to the negative battery lead.
2. Don’t connect the battery to the battery holder yet. Connect the battery on the last step to avoid burning out either the LED or the FET.
3. Connect the middle transistor lead (the source) to the red battery lead. This is in hole A2 in the example below.
4. Insert the drain lead from the FET (left-most wire when viewing with the flat end in front) into the breadboard (A3 in the diagram).
5. The gate wire serves as the antenna, so it is not connected to the breadboard. Bend it so that it points away from the other leads.
6. Note that the LED has a flat region on one side. Connect the LED lead closest to the flat region to the black battery wire (negative). This is hole C4 in the example.
7. Connect the other LED lead to the drain lead of the FET. This is hole C3 in the example.
8. Double-check the connections, then connect the battery. The LED should glow red.
9. Use clear tape to hold down the battery, and also to secure the two leads from the battery.
10. You are now ready to experiment with electric fields!
11. Choose two objects from the triboelectric series and predict which objects will have a negative and which will have a positive charge after they are rubbed together. Write your predictions down in your lab notebook.
12. Now rub the two objects together. For example, run a plastic pen through your hair and hold the pen near the antenna (the unattached gate wire). Record your observations in your lab notebook.
Notes:
1. The charge on an object will dissipate if you handle it, especially if your hands are slightly damp. By handling the object, the charged particles are transferred from the object to your skin. You can keep the charge from being lost by isolating the charged object; for example, by suspending the object with string made out of nylon or some other insulating material.
2. Remember, objects with a negative charge will make the LED get dimmer as they are brought near the antenna. Objects with a positive charge will make the LED brighter. It is harder to see the LED getting brighter since is already pretty bright, but it is possible if you are careful.
3. The LED might turn off after the circuit is exposed to a strong positive field. It can be turned on again by waving a negatively charged object (such as a plastic pen that has been run through your hair) near the antenna.
13. Try each pair of items at least three times. Are your results consistent? Record your observations in your lab notebook.
14. Try walking across a carpeted floor then bringing your hand near the circuit. Try this wearing tennis shoes, just socks, or your bare feet. What happens? Why?
15. Try rubbing one end of a plastic ruler with a piece of cloth. How far does the negative charge extend over the ruler? (You can "neutralize" the ruler between trials by touching it all over with your hands. This works best if you have slightly damp socks on.)

Electricity Science Project completed charge detector circuit.

can you help if you have time thx
also im in middle school

If you can’t make sense of the proceedures then perhaps you should select a different project. As an engineer you have to be able to get it, or you simply will not be able to handle the course of study required to become one. I am not saying this to be mean, it is simply a fact, that out of 100 students enrolled in an electrical engineering program only 30 will graduate. If you can not figure this out yourself then perhaps you should choose another course of study.

i wanna get new sneakers before basketball season starts again so out of these sneakers wich are the best

AI AND MELO CO FINALS MVP!

The room is dim as the scene flickers to life. The sparse furnishings, a couch, a coffee table, are doubled by their shadows on the nicotine-stained white walls. He moves about anxiously. A drab sage green sofa comes into focus. Cue the lights. The multi-colored flashbulbs sparkle against his raven hair like the yellow kitchen light sparkles against a brand new knife blade just as your abusive husband comes stomping up behind you. The narrow door in the corner slides open, letting in enough sunlight to momentarily ruin the effect. Her red vinyl peep-toe heels ring against the tile as she saunters in, cinematic, black bare-shouldered dress swishing, forcing a smile shaded with lipstick that matches her shoes perfectly.

"Well, hello there," he greets her. "And who are we today, Miss Bettie Paige?"

"Ha, no," she dismisses, picking up the low and skinny ruffled hemline of her dress. "Can we get on with this?"

"And why the hurry? It’s only the end of the world, dear."

"Ha," she scoffs again.

"Please, do sit down."

She lights gingerly upon the sofa, crossing her ankles and folding her legs. The thigh-high slit in her dress parts just enough to reveal an alluring degree of porcelain skin. She places the papers on the time-worn table with a mild crash.

"Here it is," she states, looking up from the papers and shifting her eyes to give him a quick once-over. "Couldn’t you have found something better to wear?"

He peruses his garments, faded jeans, plain black t-shirt, nice new denim jacket. A spark shines in his midnight eyes.

"Playing off your attraction, huh? It’s ok, I won’t tell"

"Ha." She’s getting good mileage out of that syllable.

"Can I get you anything before we start?"

"No."

Clickety-hiss, the film begins to roll, their presence etching into the celluloid in seventies home movie sepia tone. He steps through the kitchen door. She crosses her arms with a sigh and looks bored. Her sapphire eyes stare unwavering into the lens as she presses her lips together with impatience. But it does nicely refresh her lipstick. He sits on the other end of the couch and they face each other like morning talk show anchors. Then a lot of silence. They’ll have to try harder than this if they want an academy award. He starts to speak after several empty frames have sped by.

"You know you’re not much less than perfection." That spark is in his eyes again.

"You know you’re not much less than caustic," she replies. "Is there any reason for this? Or are you wasting time AND film?"

As if stricken by a sudden inspiration, he rises quickly from the sofa, crosses the room, takes an old rotary telephone out of the closet. He dials carefully, casting his eyes to the tops of their sockets as he struggles to remember a number. He looks as if his life hinges on that number.

"Hello," he says. "Yes, hello. I am calling to inquire if your services are available today. They are? You can deliver on short notice, right?"

A pondering look crosses her face as she listens intently to the conversation.

"Ok, good," he continues. "Yes, I’ll have the big value bucket please, extra crispy. And can I get some biscuits?"

She sighs with agitation and leans heavily into the creased cushions.

"May I leave now?" she inquires.

"No, wait a little bit."

Click. Empty scene. Empty scene. Empty scene. Click again. The room flickers back into focus. He sits alone, on the floor, with the papers she brought strewn about.

He flips through the pages, petting them as if they were a basket of puppies. He pulls a glossy photograph from the middle of the stack. He takes a pair of scissors, cuts out one third of the photo and places it in his jacket pocket, tossing the rest to the floor. The clickety-hiss keeps going. He stares into the lens.

"Damn, the tape is rolling."
It’s just a sketch – from the point of view of a camera.

Awesome.

(I myself am a writer)

Yes.
