![]() ![]() But most notably, though, C-Webb made a ton of shoe-related headlines for his time spent as the President of DaDa, the apparel/kicks company he repped from ’02-03. He began with Nike, teaming with David Robinson to wear the Nike Air Unlimiteds before switching to his signature Nike Air Max CWs, then moved on to Fila, AND 1 and Reebok before retiring in 2008. I don’t need anybody to apologize, unless they feel the need to apologize.Chris Webber represented a handful of sneaker brands during his 15-year NBA career. At this point in time, everything has been dealt with and settled. ![]() ![]() ![]() “There are certain fans who feel he does. “I’ve never gone there,” Manuel said at the time. Manuel told The News in 2019 that he felt Webber doesn’t need to apologize to the university. Hopefully, once we address all this good stuff, we'll get back to it.” “I knew that then, so hopefully some of the things in (my upcoming book) will reveal what happened, how things happened and hopefully just life can go (on) or it can just get back to normal in that way. I had the biggest name,” Webber told ESPN of the school’s investigation. Webber is planning to detail his experience at Michigan in his upcoming book, “By God’s Grace," and he's developing his own limited script TV series about the Fab Five. It wasn't until three years ago Webber made his return to Michigan's campus, when he accepted an invitation from football coach Jim Harbaugh to be an honorary captain at a game. Nor did he participate in a documentary on the team. He was the lone member of the Fab Five who didn't have a presence at an October 2016 campus forum celebrating the 25th anniversary of the teams he didn't respond to invitations. Webber’s role in the scandal tainted the group’s legacy and strained his relationship with his former teammates. “His exact words (were), he needs 'to apologize to the 18-year-old Chris Webber because we didn't protect him,’” Webber said. Webber said in the ESPN story that Manuel “did his research and that he needs to apologize.” It led to both the 19 Final Four banners being taken down at Crisler Center and Webber’s statistics being stripped from the program’s record books. He was the only Fab Five member linked to Martin and a $600,000 payment scandal. In 2003, the NCAA mandated a 10-year disassociation between Webber and Michigan - a penalty that ended in 2013. He helped lead the Wolverines to back-to-back NCAA national title game appearances in 19 before leaving for the NBA after his sophomore season. Webber was the centerpiece of the famed Fab Five, which included Jalen Rose, current Michigan basketball coach Juwan Howard, Jimmy King and Ray Jackson. “I wish Chris nothing but the best, and I’m happy that he’s being inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame.” “But I can assure you I made no apology to Chris and, for those who may be curious, I never asked him to apologize to the University of Michigan. “I enjoyed the conversation with Chris when we met several years ago,” Manuel said. Manuel, in a statement Thursday to The Detroit News, painted a different picture of the meeting with Webber. “I was told by the athletic department at the University of Michigan that he was sorry,” Webber, who will be inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame on Saturday, said in the article. ![]()

![]() ![]() Say goodbye to fence maintenance! Many homes come with wooden fencing which provides more than privacy - wooden fencing also provides you with unending upkeep and restoration projects. Vinyl fences do not break down in that way. Wood or chain link may start out with that same flexibility, but after rot or rust sets in from time out in the elements, those materials become much frailer. Flexibility is key to strength in any engineering design. Upon impact, say from a kid’s bike tire, our vinyl fencing will gently flex and then regain its shape. On top of that, it’s incredibly impact resistant. It does not get sun damage, and rain rolls right off of it. Vinyl PVC fencing is not only as stylish and beautiful as wooden fencing, but it is also as durable as fencing comes. You can treat for those things, but even then, there’s no guarantee your wood fence will be protected. Both rain and sunshine have a negative effect on traditional wooden fencing.

Hong Kong Dim Sim Kitchen was a pioneer of dim sim manufacturing in Australia and hopes to become a bespoke supplier to Yum Cha restaurants across the world. Fondly referred to as dimmies, it is a physical reminder of our cultural past and the integration of Chinese. Jason’s biggest advice for anyone wanting to turn their passion into something tangible is that “there really is no substitute for perseverance.” Learn from your mistakes and stay true to your character because this helps your business build a reputation that people remember for the next generation. The dim sim is a food icon in Austra- lia. For a different take, you can try cooking these dim sims in the slow cooker. Unfortunately, these delicious dumplings are only found in Australia.

A dim sim is a Chinese-inspired meat dumpling-style snack food popular in Australia. They are made by wrapping a slice of pork or chicken filling in the thin, crêpe-like dough. A dim sim is inspired by the Chinese dim sum but is quite a bit different. “For many people out there, especially families with kids that are looking for something that's actually good to eat, they can turn to us… No matter how big we get, and we have grown a lot, we will never lose sight of that.” A dim sim is a popular, slightly spicy snack common to many Asian countries. “I'm very proud of the fact that I know what goes into our products, and it's exactly what we would eat at home,” he continues. ![]() ![]() For residents of Quebec, the period between the statement date and the due date for payment is 26 days.

If its skin seems like it went shopping at JCPenny rather than Barneys New York, at least you realize that its bones are pure Mercedes. All did agree that it was edgy, which is preferable to bland or boring for any car with a pretense at sportiness. ![]() Mercedes claims that it evokes a "crouching athlete ready to spring into action." With a high rear end and a spoiler, its tear-shaped profile again split asunder editors' opinions. The exterior has been likened to various hatchbacks, from Saabs to Volkswagen Corrados. Moreover, a CD player is not standard (you didn't think we'd do a review of a Benz without this omnipresent complaint, did you?) hey, Mercedes, the other German makers have succumbed to the ubiquity of the shiny disc. It's nice that Mercedes is offering a cheaper alternative leather upholstery will run you $1,410, but something simpler and more elegant would likely quell dissenters. "Looks like a grunion run," groused one editor. We were split on the patterned aluminum trim around the dashboard and door panels some thought it looked cheap, others liked it for its sporty modernism. Gone are the wood and leather that grace most Mercedes interiors. In order to provide the only sub-30-grand Benz in its lineup, DaimlerChrysler obviously had to cut some corners. If station wagons can make a comeback, we think that hatchbacks can, too. What makes Mercedes think that it can succeed where its compatriots have failed? Can the cache of its brand name overcome the stigma wrought by years of public perception? Hatchbacks have historically garnered an association with the economy-minded masses reconciling them to a luxury brand could prove challenging. MB's Bavarian countrymen have previously cast a hatchback, the 318ti (1995-1998) to dismal failure. Rather, it's a hatchback, the first sporting that famous three-pointed star to land on American shores. The C230 does break the traditional Mercedes mold this is not a true coupe, as its name suggests, with a separate trunk. No annoying announcer blathering on about the engine or its sure-fire appeal. If you've seen the advertisement, you'd note a somewhat shady Russell Crowe look-alike fellow (except that this guy was in a good mood), driving, just driving the C-Class with an alternative band-type song thumping in the background. Yes, they're marketing it toward Generation X, a too-oft-used but accurate enough moniker, to lure this heretofore unmolested segment into viewing a Mercedes as an accessible, possible first-car purchase. It was not designed for the gentrified, moneyed classes whose concerns include osteoporosis and prostate glands, but for those who can still feel the putrid, hot breath of student loans on their backs. While plenty of debates have risen in the past about the appeal of Benzes, this particular model adds a new twist to the argument. Then there were those indignant in the belief that it was a good car and a fair deal in and of itself. On one side of the fence glowered those who believed that the only appeal of the Mercedes C230 Kompressor was its brand-name association. Amidst the bowels of the Xanadu known as the editorial offices, an intense philosophical debate arose, developing factions and sides whose chasms were precipitous enough to threaten the deep ties contrived by executive-mandated fun days and "Quit touching me!" ride-alongs with five fragrant editors squished into a compact coupe. ![]() |
