![]() Further refinement resulted in the "Waffle Trainer" in 1974, which helped fuel the explosive growth of Blue Ribbon Sports/Nike. īowerman's design led to the introduction of the "Moon Shoe" in 1972, so named because the waffle tread was said to resemble the footprints left by astronauts on the moon. Bowerman was talking to his wife about this puzzle over breakfast, when the waffle iron idea came into play. Oregon's Hayward Field was transitioning to an artificial surface, and Bowerman wanted a sole which could grip to grass or bark dust without the use of spikes. In 1971, Bowerman used his wife's waffle iron to experiment on rubber to create a new sole for track shoes that would grip but be lightweight and increase the runner's speed. ![]() In 1967, due to increasing sales, BRS expanded retail and distribution operations on the East Coast, in Wellesley, Massachusetts.

And with backup center Marreese Speights sliding over to power forward to give Pierce a break, Jordan checked out of the game only when the Jazz were intentionally fouling. Rivers played 39-year-old Paul Pierce 18 minutes after halftime on Friday, more than Pierce played in all but two games during the regular season. Down two starters, the Clippers are going deep into their thin bench. When Griffin was out during the regular season, Rivers relied heavily on his son Austin, who has been sidelined since March 29 with a hamstring strain. The last issue for the Clippers going forward is depth. (Jordan also went to the free throw line before Utah started intentionally fouling.) Given Paul's dominance of the ball, the Jazz might consider trapping him on pick-and-rolls and forcing another Clipper to make a play now that Griffin isn't an option. While the Jazz had no answers for Paul in the pick-and-roll game during Game 3, they might try something different now that they know Griffin isn't involved going into the game.Īccording to NBA.com/Stats, Paul made all four field goals the Clippers scored during the final five minutes of Friday's game, and he attempted six of their seven shots. We've also yet to see how defenses might adjust to the Clippers' smaller lineups without Griffin given extra time to prepare. Playing either Griffin or Paul with reserves should give LA a better chance of creating efficient offense, limiting what has been the Clippers' biggest weakness in the postseason - seeing leads dwindle or deficits grow with the second unit on the court. First, it takes away the possibility of Clippers coach Doc Rivers staggering his two stars, something he's been reluctant to do in the past but had done early in this series. Griffin's absence might be felt more keenly during the playoffs for a few reasons. But in the 10 games they played with Paul and Jordan but not Griffin, they went 8-2 with a slightly better point differential adjusted for opponent quality and location than in games when both Paul and Griffin played. The Clippers went 3-7 in the 10 games they played with neither of their top two players, and went 5-6 when Griffin played and Paul did not they also lost a game when both Griffin and All-Star center DeAndre Jordan rested due to a back-to-back. The Clippers' All-Star point guard also missed seven games during that span with a hamstring strain and then sprained his thumb not long before Griffin's return, an injury that kept Paul out through the All-Star break. This season, Griffin's absence, after knee surgery in December, was complicated by concurrent injuries that Paul suffered. The win was a reminder of how effective the Clippers have been when they play small and spread the court anytime Griffin is absent for an extended period. That second half featured a virtuoso performance by Paul (10 assists and 34 points, 24?after halftime). “She is self-confident and I knew that she would 100 percent be able to pull it off. “She was really owning this makeup,” says Goodwin of Stone’s bold beauty look. ![]() Goodwin used Revlon Ultra HD Lipstick in Gladiolus, which she says has a creamy, luxe feeling.

Equally, if your pet is already faster than the enemy, having more speed has no effect at all. Having lower speed than the enemy makes speed entirely useless. Speed is by far the most difficult and situational stat to consider and at the same time probably the most important one: This mechanic opens up a number of different aspects to consider.

I called on the 20th (the date I cancelled) and the woman I spoke to said she could refund all but one night but it would take 5-10 days to show up on my card. The customer service was lacking and we did not feel like valued guests.īUYER BEWARE!!! I booked a room on 6-19-15 and due to a family member being diagnosed with a serious illness I had to cancel the next day. All in all the experience was poor considering how much was paid for the room. The Valet was very efficient and offered suggestions on restaurants and local attractions. The Valet was very prompt and they had a system set up where you text the valet and the car was out minutes later. ![]() There were free refreshments and easy cookies in the lobby. The food was very good and came out promptly after our order. The service was slow and we had trouble getting the waiters attention. The next morning we had breakfast in the restaurant. The excuse for non-service given was that they thought we were checking out that day and were waiting until we left the room to make it up. We wanted to have a quick nap before we went out for the evening, but could not as we had to wait for the room to be serviced and then wait in the lobby until it was done. The second day, we were out of the room all day and returned at 6pm to find that the room had not been serviced in the 10 hours we were gone. The only consolation was that it probably woke up the annoying family next door too because of the paper thin walls. The air conditioning unit in this room was so loud and rumbling when it started that it frequently woke us up throughout the night. ![]() The room walls were still paper thin and another family with small and loud kids were in the room beside us and offered no peace and quiet any time of day. The new room, in the main building, was a fair bit bigger, had a working bathroom fan and had what I believe to be a laminate floor that did no have the slick problem the stone/concrete had. They gave us free breakfast vouchers on the hotel restaurant for our troubles. After going out for the day with no shower, they offered to change rooms since I guess the water was harder to fix than they thought. I was informed that the fan permanently did not work in that room. They said they would send up an engineer to look at the hot water and I asked if they would fix the fan as well. I informed them that there was no hot water from the bathroom sink either, so perhaps it was another issue other than my inability to turn the knob left. I called the front desk to inform them of the lack of hot water and the front desk attendant said that someone would be sent up to show me how to operate the shower faucet since he thought I could not turn the knob to the red heat part. When we went to have a shower, there was no hot water in the shower. A family with small children in the room beside us could be heard very clearly and woke us up in the morning. The walls were very thin and sound travelled very well. The stone floor had a damp and greasy film to it, perhaps from the humidity or the air-conditioning, that made the floor slippery. The fan was not working in the bathroom and the windows did not open making for a stuffy and smelly experience. Upon arrival we were booked in the tower in a small room with concrete/stone floors. Because this was within a week of the stay the price of the third day was twice the price of the previous days. We were booked for 2 nights, but then our plans changed and I had to extend the booking to a third night. Then to top it off said, "no charge." Come to Hotel indigo and live in lavish luxury then go to their restaurant and ask for John. He came back with a beautiful plate of bacon, eggs, fruit, hash browns and biscuit. In a very caring way, he offered to get me a full breakfast even though the buffet didn't open for an hour. The staff were very busy yet a gentleman by the name of John, came over and asked if he could get me something even though they weren't open yet. So I decided to sit and wait with coffee that was available. I'm an early riser and as usual I am in lobby well before breakfast is scheduled to start serving. Really enjoyed the live entertainment in their lounge that night. The bathroom was very large with one of the best hotel showers I've seen yet. Our room was beautiful yet very comfortable as well.

Other reports are labeling the series as a real, multi-season series. The passing-of-the-torch language has given some the impression that The Falcon and the Winter Solider will be a one-and-done type of series-that it will conclude after its season 1 run. “What does it really mean for somebody to step into those shoes, and not just somebody but a Black man in the present day?” “What had been a classic passing of the torch from one hero to another at the end of Endgame became an opening up of our potential to tell an entire story about that,” he said.
