Bonn wrap up: "Plugged in"
Delegates from 182 countries have been in Bonn discussing key negotiating texts which can serve as the basis for critical climate talks in Copenhagen this December. Sam fleet from Friends of the Earth Europe and also a member of the Young Friends of the Earth Europe movement (Young FoEE) was there.
Almost a week has passed since I returned from Bonn; the dust has settled and hopefully the majority of the FoEI delegation, like myself, have returned to a normal working schedule – although I know a few who travelled directly to the FoEE AGM in Lenzen, Germany.
The weekend provided an opportunity to process and evaluate everything that had happened in Bonn, and I remain impressed and inspired by the FoEI presence.
On returning to the office a colleague informed me that a friend who had been to the talks had asked her "how much money do Friends of the Earth have!? You were everywhere." And I agreed, although not because of money, but due to fantastic coordination, dedication and hard work from the FoEI and Young FoEE delegations.
Asad Rehman, Senior Campaigner from Friends of the Earth England Wales and Northern Ireland summed it up perfectly:
"We were plugged in at every level, from government delegations to NGO and movement groupings. It was a real example of what an inside and outside strategy can accomplish." And, the strategy looks set to develop and continue in Bangkok, Barcelona and finally Copenhagen.
The evaluation of the talks themselves: industrialised countries are still not showing leadership. The Climate Justice Network! And FoEI press conference can be watched here:
In short, US, Japan and the EU put forward inadequate reductions targets, continued to push offsetting, and ignored historical responsibility and calls to pay back their 'climate debt' – to compensate for the damage that pollution from excessive greenhouse gas pollution over the past 200 years has and will cause in developing countries.
The Alliance of Small Island States called on developed countries to commit to higher greenhouse gas reduction targets, Bolivia demanded repayment of the developed world's climate debt and El Salvador and Paraguay stood strong to
protect Indigenous Peoples rights.
For a more detailed overview go to:
Thanks for following, and thanks to all those who were in Bonn, look forward to seeing you all in Copenhagen at the latest.

How to Choose a Business Name That Helps You - Not Hurts You
by Marco Carbajo, Guest Blogger
- Created: July 10, 2013, 10:02 am
- Updated: July 10, 2013, 10:21 am
During the initial stages of starting a business, choosing the right name of your company can be a difficult task to say the least. It may surprise you but even the name of your business can trigger a red flag with some lenders and creditors.
Unfortunately, many business owners don't take this simple step into consideration, especially when it comes to the business credit building process.
Before you pick a business name, follow these three steps:
Step 1: Conduct a Trademark Search
You may come across a great idea for a business name, but first you should make sure that you won't be infringing upon a prior user's trademark.
The first step is to conduct a trademark search by using the Trademark Electronic Search System (TESS).
This search engine allows you to search the database of the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Once you have completed your search and the results uncover no likelihood of confusion, then you will be ready to proceed.
If you fail to follow this step, it can potentially lead to disaster for your business in many ways. Imagine if you had to recall all of your products because of a demand by a prior trademark user. Not only that, but you can end up paying the other party's attorney fees and monetary damages, which can get very costly.
If you decide to own a federal trademark, your business will have several advantages, such as:
• Public notice of your claim of ownership of the mark;
• A legal presumption of your ownership of the mark and your exclusive right to use the mark nationwide on or in connection with the goods/services listed in the registration;
• The ability to bring an action concerning the mark in federal court;
• The use of the U.S. registration as a basis to obtain registration in foreign countries;
• The ability to record the U.S. registration with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Service to prevent importation of infringing foreign goods;
• The right to use the federal registration symbol ® and
• Listing in the USPTO online databases.
For more trademark information, tools, applications, and documentation visit the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
Step 2: Pick a Safe Business Name
One of the common mistakes that can impact your company's ability in obtaining credit is in the name you choose. Picking the wrong type of business name can automatically label your company as a high risk.
There are certain industries that the business credit reporting agencies classify as risky, so picking a company name in a high risk category can possibly trigger an automatic turndown, higher premium and/or reduced credit limit recommendations for your business.
For example, real estate is considered a very high risk industry, so naming your company John Doe Real Estate Investments would not be the best choice if you plan to apply for financing. Pick a safe name that won't get your company labeled as a high risk.
Step 3: Pick a Unique Business Name
While the sound and spelling of a business name – as well as the availability of a dotcom – play a key role, don't let this be the single factor that drives your decision.
What makes a good name for a business from a marketing standpoint is usually the opposite of what makes a good name from a legal standpoint.
Even though you may think that choosing a business name that describes your product in the name is much better for marketing purposes, it does give you less protection from other people using it against you.
It really depends on what makes the best business sense, but this is something you should definitely cover with both your marketing and legal team.
Select a unique business name that is marketable and protects you legally. Before you incorporate, take the time to review these three steps so you can pick a business name that works and benefits you.

be and I try to avoid doing it entirely myself. Brainstorming a business name
with a group of people is definitely a better way to go than trying it only
by yourself. It requires matching something that is catchy, simple and still
explaining what the business is about.

embody your company's distinguish characteristics. I completely agree with
Marco's consideration that a right name can make your business a hot topic
of town and a wrong one can doom it to obscurity and failure. Therefore, your
business name should convey the expertise, value and uniqueness of the
product or service you are offering.

branding/identity/marketing standpoint, but don't forget to think of the
copyright and legal ramifications as well. Definitely use caution when naming
a business after a product or service. You want to choose a name that will
continue to make sense as your company grows, so don't limit yourself right
from the start by choosing a name that can't grow with you.

is important. You can't turn back the clock so do take everything into
consideration. Some people say that making a broad name is best so that it
will not limit your ability to make money.
PBCC Company | Window Shopper | 7/22/2013 - 9:05 am
important point as it is through the business name a customer gets a
knowledge about the business or company.

issues and barriers in future.

Louisville/Jefferson County metro government (balance) >Food & Dining >
Bakeries >Pie Kitchen
2525 Bardstown Rd, Louisville, KY | Directions 4020538.222530 -85.683098
Neighborhoods: Highlands Douglass
Love Homemade – Love this establishment, everything I have tasted is a delight and taste homemade. I will continue to give them my business. Homemade has branched out to Clarksville, IN and yes that location is splendid also.
Best Customer Service in town!!! – I frequent the new location on Bardstown Rd. near KFC, and every time I am fortunate enough to experience not only good old fashioned pie and ice cream, but also old fashioned, honest-to-goodness genuinely good customer service. It seems as if one girl in particular, Heather, is always there. She beams a huge smile at every customer she greets. She seems as if she is honestly excited that you have dropped in. Even when extremely busy, I've never seen her frustrated, angry or disrespectful.
If this is the type of service that Homemade Ice Cream and Pie Kitchen teaches their employees, then they have a really good philosophy going. Keep up the good work!
Very expensive, confusing pricing and rude employee. – I don't recommend the Clarksville location. We wanted sundae's and were surprised to learn that it's really just two scoops of ice cream and whipped cream. If you want hot fudge you have to pay $1 extra making it $5.23. We thought that pretty expensive and ridiculous b/c an entire banana split is thirty cents cheaper than that. The employee waiting on us was rude and couldn't be bothered to explain anything. We won't be returning.
Yum yum yum – There are now two locations of this local dessert place. Everything I've ever had there is absolutely incredible and the store and nice and clean with an old-timey general store type decor. The most popular items are the dutch apple pie with a thick layer of caramel icing on top and the caramel cake. It is a bit pricey, especially if you order a whole cake or pie but the quality is excellent.
Heaven on a plate! – This place has by far, the BEST cakes and pies in Louisville. My husband is from Wyoming, and had never had anything from there. We got a Caramel Dutch Apple Pie, and it was the most wonderful thing I had ever tasted, and I don't normally like apple pie. If they shipped pies, I would send a couple to the in-laws for Christmas. If you have a chance, go! Everything is very reasonably priced.
Have your cake and eat some pie and ice cream, too at this sweet tooth's paradise. – The Scene
Children with parents or grandparents dominate this quaint shop. The cheery space is set in a nondescript shopping center, cluttered with knickknacks and a glass case filled with frosted layer cakes, latticed berry pies and mounds of meringues. You'll feel like a kid in a sugar factory.
The Food
Like Disney World, don't try to do The Pie Kitchen in a day. It would take months of diligently indulgent visits to order everything on the expansive, always-evolving menu. Dozens of heavenly hand-dipped ice creams and yogurts are made on the premises. Candy bar bits blended with vanilla ice cream make the dreamy Milky Way flavor one of the best. Flaky pies range from peach and red-raspberry cream to sweet potato and lemon chess. Fresh cakes with homemade icing, petit fours, brownies and eclairs round out the temptations.
Yummy Yummy! – I went there all the time when I was pregnant! My favorite flavor is mint-chocolate chip! (You should also really try their homemade banana pudding!)
the best in the city – oreo cheesecake is a top choice... you cant beat the atmosphere on a summer day. one of the best things that louisville has to offer
Not just Ice cream – This place has the best ice cream around, and is also a great value. Thier homemade flavors are delectible and very flavorful. They also serve great homemade chocolate pies along with many other pie and cake varieties. If you ever pass through Louisville find this place.
Perfect – It tastes just like Grandma used to grind by hand out in the backyard!

That's better than Baylor's one-team average of 38.55.
Notre Dame is undefeated, No. 1 and has already clinched a spot in this year's title game.
"Danger is our business" should be Notre Dame's calling card.
"That's how we got to 12-0," Coach Brian Kelly said after Saturday night's 22-13 win over USC. "Our guys have an incredible resolve regardless of the circumstances, of coming up and finding ways to win. We don't talk about style points or anything else. Just find a way to win."
Notre Dame needed a final drive to beat lowly Purdue and had to rally back at home against Brigham Young.
An overtime victory over Stanford was tinged with controversy and the triple-overtime win over Pittsburgh was downright lucky.
Of the Final Three contenders, Notre Dame is by far the most battle-tested.
"We understand you've got to fight," linebacker Manti Te'o said. "There's a reason why there's four quarters."
Alabama doesn't have a dominant pass rusher or a tailback like Mark Ingram (2009) or Trent Richardson (2011).
The Crimson Tide lost at home to Texas A&M and needed a near-miracle to pull victory out at LSU.
Alabama's competition the last two weeks, frankly, has been abysmal. The Crimson Tide beat up on one of the worst Football Championship Subdivision teams in Western Carolina and then, Saturday, an Auburn outfit so dismal the school fired Gene Chizik on Sunday two years after he won the national title.
Alabama didn't control its own destiny, needing every ounce and bounce of Stanford help two weekends ago in Eugene.
The tide has shifted from the SEC champion being locked out of the BCS title one week, to its suddenly being an automatic qualifier.
Georgia masterfully worked the system and the schedule, benefiting from a season's topsy-turvy and the SEC's powerful suction power.
Georgia overcame an embarrassing 35-7 shellacking at South Carolina.
"We lost together and we had to regroup together," Bulldogs Coach Mark Richt said Sunday.
The Bulldogs also own the ugliest win against Florida you'll ever want to see. The schools combined for nine turnovers, with the winning quarterback having three passes intercepted.
Georgia also missed Alabama, LSU and Texas A&M on the regular-season schedule and took on a nonconference slate that had outsiders howling.
The Bulldogs were allowed to play Buffalo, Florida Atlantic, Georgia Southern and Georgia Tech — and get away with it.
Georgia drafted off the SEC's entrails and now finds itself one inspired effort against Alabama from getting to the title game.
The Bulldogs even get to play their biggest game in years in their own state.
The BCS system is what it is — a yearly crapshoot that rises and falls on half a dozen plays throughout the season.
Getting to the end in one or two pieces is the only outcome that matters.
Notre Dame running back Theo Riddick understands how the system doesn't work.
"If we win all our games, we knew that we would at least give us a chance," he said of the BCS system corridor outside his team's locker room at the Coliseum. "Look at us now."

The long arm of Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig stretched all the way to Lyons Co-Ed Softball League Monday night as the Chamber Rockers, without the services of Patty "PED" Pedooski; one of their female players who was suspended for the remainder of the 2013 season, had to take on Shake N' Bake in the first game of the evening. Unfazed by the suspension, the Chamber "nine" rocked the Bakers for four runs in the first inning. Unfortunately, out in the field, particularly the spacious

The always well-coiffed Hooligans took on McHeaters in the opening game of the Adult Co-Ed Softball games at Bohn Park Monday night. Hoolie first base woman Deb Sims pontificated, "If we don't look good, we can't play good." Be that as it may, the well-groomed Hooligans might have been better served if their fleet-footed outfielder Dana "Sparky" Richards, just back from a holiday in "America's Vacationland" (Maine) with a sprained ankle, could have done more than cheer from the dugout.

The co-ed adult softball teams were back in action Monday night after a two-week layoff (the first week was because of Good Old Days and Fourth of July, and last week was due to a rain-out).
In the first game of the evening, the Stonebridge Farmers jumped out to a quick two to nothing lead in the top half of the first inning over their opponents Shake N' Bake. But the Bakers answered the bell with three tallies of their own in the bottom half of the opening frame. From there, the two teams were scoreless over the next inning in a half. In the home

The country is home to over half of Africa's forest elephants who are highly valued because of the quality of their tusks.
Campaigners say the situation in what was believed to be a safe haven for these elephants is "out of control."
They blame the ongoing high demand for jewellery and other ivory products in Asia.
Gabon holds about 13% of the forests of Central Africa but it is home to around 40,000 forest elephants, a smaller species that are attractive to poachers because their ivory is tinged with pink and is very hard.
The new research has been carried out by the Gabonese national parks agency (ANPN) alongside WWF and the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS).Cross border poachers
Dr Fiona Maisels of the WCS explained that they had analysed the population of elephants in the Minkebe national park and compared it with their data gathered in the same area 9 years ago.
"Between 44-77% of the elephants have been killed," she said. "In other words 11,100 elephants have been lost since 2004."

follow up w/ another Liston match-up , a true test against an all-time great Larry Holmes.
|Current Champs
|The Cyber Boxing Zone Message Board
follow up w/ another Liston match-up , a true test against an all-time great Larry Holmes.
An interesting matchup. I've thought about this one a lot, and I'm sure that Hawkins will weigh in. Sometimes I think that Holmes's great jab and ring intelligence would keep Liston at bay until Liston became frustrated, with Holmes throwing heavier leather through the last four or five rounds to a comfortable UD over 15.
And sometimes I think that Holmes's jab, beautiful though it was, would not keep Liston at bay and that Liston's own jab and very powerful shots would eventually lead to a very comfortable points victory over 15. It's possible that Liston would take Holmes out in the championship rounds, but I don't think so.
I tend to think of Holmes, Liston, and Foreman as being my second group of three (after Dempsey-Louis-Ali). I find it hard to decide among the three. I tend to believe that Holmes would defeat Foreman (prime to prime, of course), but I don't hold that belief with any great conviction.
And then I think, well, where does Frazier fit in? And what about Johnson? And then I start feeling that the imponderables are too great.
I think the real response everyone is looking for from me here is pertaining to this question:
Do I think Holmes, at his absolute best, was better than the best of the 70's version of Ali?
My answer to that is: Yes.
My answer to Holmes vs Liston is: Holmes by close unanimous decision.
I love both of these guys but if we're talking Liston 57-61 Holmes is going down. When Liston was at his best a jab, even one as powerful as Holmes is not going to stop him. This is a guy who walked thru Cleveland Williams bombs. He's also the fighter that went the distance with Marty Marshall after suffering a broken jaw early in the fight.
I love Holmes. He's one of the top 5 heavies of all time. So is Liston. With both of them in their absolute primes I give the edge to Liston.
"Holmeser" in me, can see Gor's conclusion to how this fight goes as completely acceptable.
Me-Holmes close decision win.
Gor-Liston late rounds stoppage (or even mid rounds after a helluva go).
It's a HELLUVA matchup regardless of your conclusion, between two Top 5, All time Heavyweight Greats.
Last edited by hawk5ins; 07-14-2010 at 03:31 PM.
Agreed, Hawk. After some more cogitation this is really closer than I first thought. It's practically a toss up. I give Liston the slight edge due to power, chin & very underrated boxing skills.
At the same time I CAN see Larry pulling out a decision win.
Call me slightly conflicted...
Prime Holmes would have to be practically KO'd to lose, otherwise it's an Ali style that could do this, beat him on points.
Larry's all around skill, and toughness is what wins this. Now, Liston could well land a bomb, and hurt Larry, who did not have the Ali chin, close, but not level. The bomb that Liston lands could end the bout, or a good clinical follow up.
I will go with Larry's heart, toughness, workrate, durability and indomitable spirit to see him earn a deserved decision, with a fair few real shaky moments.
I think Sonny ends the bout fresher, and less hurt, but still a loser. Put it this way, Sonny's landed shots do
more damage than Larry's. Larry IMO lands 20-25 percent more shots than Sonny.

Holmes has great tools to really frustrate a Liston type fighter: movement, handspeed, stamina, and counter-punching ability.
However, I favor Liston to win and win by stoppage, for two reasons:
Liston's jab, and Holmes's defensive lapses.
Holmes had the faster stick but Liston had the much harder shot and his jab will be keeping Larry off-set all night. Great jabbers have problems when facing other great jabbers.
The other is that Larry would often, due to fatigue or sheer carelessness, often make some severe defense gaffes in his fights. We saw some results vs Shavers, Snipes, Weaver, Witherspoon and even Cooney in places when Larry would either forget to get back into position after throwing a punch or pull the macho card and trade with his opponent. Vs Liston, Sonny has the complete arsenal and strength to really make Larry pay severely for those lapses. And Holmes will be slowed down in the late rounds from Sonny's bodywork in the clinches.
I think Liston prime for prime is hell for any heavyweight who ever lived and I'd only back a prime Ali, Jack Johnson and Joe Louis to do the trick.
more concerened about the defensive lapses Hags. While believing Holmes would be in a much more defensive posture for Sonny and isn't too likely to take many chances with Liston, rest assured, Larry does get Careless or Lax, Sonny WILL jump on it and make him pay like no other.
Re the jab...well both were great jabbers. If great jabbers have issues with other great Jabbers, than both will probably have issues.
I've always charecterized Holmes Jab as Not quite a fast as Ali's jab, but much harder and Not quite as hard as Liston's but much faster. I think that combo makes it the Perfect Jab, specifically at Heavyweight. Especially seeing how Holmes RELIED on the jab and used it as often as he did.
Sonny's hammer of a jab IS going to cause issues for Larry. As you said, it is going to cause Larry to continually regroup and reset himself. But Holmes' jab, becuase it also has quite a bit of Pop to it, along with the speed, is going to be a pain in the ass for Sonny as well.
This would be Sooooo entertaining IMO to watch it play out.
Really hard one to call. I would have go with Holme's speed, determination, and grittiness. He was also a very good puncher, although not in Sonny's league. I don't know enough about Liston's stamina or will to win. He went the distance against guys that did not press him hard or make him fight hard. Holmes got off the floor after Shavers landed on him. Could Sonny really do anything to match that regarding heart and desire? But again nothing would surprise me in this fight.
Holmes is my favorite heavyweight of all time, and my favorite fighter too. That said, while it is convenient to view this bout as a case where we have a battler against a guy many think had the ability to mail it in or lose at the sign of trouble, and since it will go the distance most likely Larry wins... I see it this way:
Liston has two good power punches, and the nerve to unload them. Couple that with a jab to partly nullify Larry's, and Larry IMO would need to jab to stop Liston's jab and follow up. Leading to echanges rather than keeping Larry's foe at bay and without rhythm..which normally was the jab's primary motive.
Liston is physically more imposing than the strong fighters who gave Larry issues (Norton, Weaver, Spoon).. and Larry is NOT a fighter who didn't fight by the book, nor would he skitter hither and yon like some fleet footed guy who went the distnce with Liston.
Liston matches up well with Holmes, IMO, and the spirit would break if he were being thumped rond after round and having to chase Holmes. He wouldn't.
Much like I like the best Frazier to beat the best Larry, I like Liston here. Liston's left hook and not his right spell the difference. Larry touches down round 9 or 10, and Liston mops him up in round 12.
Someone thinks Larry mutes Liston enough where there is never that dire moment, and Larry wins because Sonny runs out of rounds... I can see that but disagree.
As an aside, I truly believe the guys that beat Sonny, best v best, do it with power and volume... or, power and consistancy.
I'd give Louis a nod to do it, provided he wasn't on his back foot all night. Dempsey as I think he could hit Sonny more than Sonny hit him..or hit him first and stun and then finish..(but I think this fight could be going the other way as easily.. no further than round 8 for either here). Larry has the best shot from the 'boxer' standpoint. Ali was Ali and he was not your standard fighter. I personally can't see Johnson fielding blows from Liston, and I dont think he could avoid Liston like he did the men he 'caught' blows from.
Foreman? perhaps. If Liston nailed George and George was still there, it'd be interesting.
Frazier I dont like the odds of as Joe HAD to fight the Joe was regardless of who he faced (unlike Jack).
Marciano... Sonny's left hand would land and land often.
Liston to me TRULY is a match-up guy... but unlike some styles make fights guys, Liston to me almost always dictates the other guy's strategy.

makes one helluva matchup for so many other Heavyweight greats.
Good Stuff Sharks.
Still thinking you would have been in Coetzee's corner in 84 though had the bout come off.
No. Both guys were good guys.. but Larry would have been my horse in that race. If Coetzee had landed a bomb and Larry had a Snipes moment in say, round 3 or 4.. I might have been rooting for one guy to finish it and the other guy to ride it out.
I've got to side with Hags on this. I'd throw in Holmes willingness to trade and his burning desire to get payback when hurt as two more resaons that the Easton Assassin loses.
Right or wrong, I tend to place a lot more weight on the Cleveland Williams fights than the Cassius Clay/Muhammad Ali fights when assessing Sonny. One, it was more towards his prime and two, there was just something not right about the latter, two. Yes, the 60's Ali made a lot of fighters look like they were wading through a swamp, but...
Besides, Holmes, while mobile, was not Ali, nor did he have the footspeed of Eddie Machen who was also able to avoid serious Liston punishment. On the other hand, I also don't want to discount the fact that Larry was still faster than Sonny and his legendary recuperative powers were almost paranormal.
I think the key is what takes place in the first three rounds. I think it's a given that Liston pursues and that Holmes backtracks. Not running like Machen, but on his back foot dishing leather when appropriate. I don't think it's a stretch to question Sonny's confidence (despite what I stated earlier) and I think he needs to hurt Larry early to build on that. I also don't think that the jabs are the key weapons in this fight. Holmes will use his quite a bit more, but Sonny, when in pursuit mode, tended to lead with big shots, forsaking his.
The Liston jab will come into play when he hurts Larry, keeping him where he wants him. (Then it's Holmes sneaky right cross that comes into play because I think Larry can hurt Sonny with it.) A cornered Holmes is dangerous, but Sonny could finish with a capital F and as the fight goes on, Larry will tire, suck it up and fight back. But I just don't see him being able to continually do this all night.
Liston TKO 13 Holmes in a terrific fight that demands a rematch...and a similar result in the return.
Been watching a good deal of footage of Liston recently. I have to say, maybe I was underrating him a bit. He is quite a beast, and a very powerful and methodical and precise beast. Do I think he's the best ever, no, but he's gone up a bit for me. I still think Holmes can win this, but the fact that Larry was at times too eager to fight and brawl, as others have pointed out, this leaves me nervous. It's a 55-45 call for Holmes with me.
I echo the exact answer of Gordoom.
Just something about that Duane Bobick fight, how bad he was shaken by Shavers and Snipes, the type of KO by Tyson, all understandable and explainable and as disturbing as the old Liston being poleaxed by Leotis, but at their best, man oh man to be hammered by Liston a la Cleveland Williams, Nino Valdez, Zora Folley, Patterson,
Liston would get him.
Sonny wins every round and eventually ko's Larry Holmes. He would keep him going backwards all nite and Larry would mount no offense to bother Sonny Liston. Sonny just does everything better than Larry at the best of both guys nites.
Larry seems quicker and slicker .not that it would spell victory for Holmes but this match-up should show how Liston had trouble with boxers . Liston might catch up in later rounds but not until Holmes hands him fits . I always imagined this match-up and ask my self, as great as these two were, what would their careers be like if they fought in the 70's (Ali's era?).
I've watched every Liston fight available a couple of times each, or more. An excellent fighter, but not mythic or unbeatable. While I have a great deal of respect for him, I view him as a more polished, more precise, better-chinned Lennox Lewis-- like Lewis, very deliberate and fairly slow.
I think speed is what beats Liston; it sure isn't done by going toe-to-toe with him. Ali beat Sonny with speed; I see Holmes, who was every inch as big as Ali--meaning he was bigger than Liston--being able to out-jab Liston due to outspeeding him. If a young Ali's jab cut Liston, so would Holmes's harder jab, I think.
In the same way that I like Holmes over such a predictable and painstakingly slow Lennox Lewis, I see Holmes beating Liston on points consistently through the fight. Holmes didn't get cornered and caught in his entire career until his post-career vs. Tyson; otherwise, the punches that dropped him (Snipes, Shavers) came out of nowhere.
Does Liston catch Larry and even everything up with one shot? Not sure. It's hard for me to believe that Holmes wouldn't recuperate as he did from some gigantic shots from others.
Sonny to me has more than a puncher's chance, but I can't see him decisioning the 1978 version of Holmes. He'd have to catch him to stop him, which didn't happen to Holmes, ever, until he was a pro for about 16 years (1988) and returned from retirement for an execution against a prime Tyson.
I always respect Ron's expert opinion but I cannot see the relevance of the Duane Bobick amateur fight nor think that the Shavers and Snipes knockdown blows were anything less than legit atomic bombs. Liston, conversely, is the one whose losses need a lot more 'splainin'.

suggestion that this is a whitewash EITHER way is IMO completely out to lunch.
THis is a GREAT matchup between two All Time Great, top 5, Heavyweights.
End of Story.
I pretty much agree with you Hawk. The only fighters that would have a chance to beating a prime Liston(on the level) are Joe Louis, Jack Johnson, Ali, and Larry Holmes. Louis and Johnson because of boxer-puncher skills, Ali and Holmes because of boxing skills and speed. Tyson, Frazier, Dempsey, Foreman, Marciano, and any other heavyweight past or present stupid enough to stand in front of Liston was a recipe for disaster. Some might say that I am committing boxing heresy, but I think at least one.... may be both of those fights with Ali were tanked. Don Dunphry and others were of that opinion as well. I believe Don said that if that was a punch.... than I will eat it. As far as Liston vs. Holmes.... too close to call. Liston had power and skills and Holmes with underrated strength, speed and skills. This is a 50-50 fight, but I lean towards Liston because of his power by decision..... may be a split decision. Even Joe Louis and Jack Johnson would have their hands full with a prime Liston.Originally Posted by hawk5ins
Yeah, these fantasy matchups are just so certain, they can only go the way one poster sees. Any other view is simply "out to lunch." Of course.Originally Posted by hawk5ins
It's not like Hearns-Hagler, Curry-McCrory, Tyson-Spinks, Sanchez-Gomez, and Hearns-Duran were not considered good matchups and then someone actually lost decisively. Oh, but, they did. Ooops. I guess those were lopsided after all.
Or Ali-Frazier II. Considered a good matchup, but Ali took it on points, in the opinion of most by a wide margin. As I see Liston-Holmes.
Oh but no, that is "out to lunch." Can't be.
Sorry that anyone else here even ventured an opinion. OBVIOUSLY Liston-Holmes can only turn out one way.

Bobick did too come to think of it.
Liston's jab and far far superior left hook get Larry off that pitchers mound. That great left hook off that jab is going to be a big problem. And like you said, back him up. Larry could fight backing up but he liked doing it when he set the pace & not the other guy. It's that 3 minutes per round of pressure that ultimately creates the openings when the gastank drains and Larry drops those hands. And he was the guy easier to reach w/ right hands over his jab. An old ali sure did it to Liston, but a 22 year old ali is landing rights on an old Holmes as well.
I think this would kind of be like the Tyson fight for Holmes. If he did win rounds, he would be giving his all and draining his tank to sustain that 3 minute effort. 2 or 3 rounds of that, and he'll slow down & that's when Sonny catches him. And Liston is a finisher, unlike a Snipes or shavers or Weaver---is that what you see Rocky? Maybe 8 or 10 rounds?
Holmes comes in agianst a Prime Liston at 38 Years old, inactive for 21 months, prepares for Liston for only 6 weeks and is roughly 6 years removed from his peak prime, the bout will probably go just like the Tyson bout.
What I see is that Sonny was the better boxer as well as puncher. Larry Holmes is not going to hand Sonny Liston any boxing lesson with a jab no matter how good it was. Hes going to be pushed backwards by anything Sonny throws. Sonny was the better heavyweight.

I'm saying an old Holmes gets hit by right hands by a 22 year old Clay as well.
with this statement either:
"I'm saying an old Holmes gets hit by right hands by a 22 year old Clay as well."
I disagree. I think that a prime Liston would take that Holmes out sooner than Tyson did.Originally Posted by hawk5ins
Behind that Dan.
Specially seeing how Liston isn't only a better Boxer than was Tyson, He was a better BOXER than Holmes as well.
At least THAT Holmes.
Right? We ARE talking about THAT Holmes right?

Genesis 1:14-16 (New International Version)
Genesis 1:14-16
New International Version (NIV)
14 And God said, "Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth." And it was so. 16 God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars.

Marlboro, VT—Marlboro College is pleased to host the Brattleboro Museum and Art Center's lecture series related to the exhibit Andy Warhol: The Jon Gould Collection. All lectures will take place at the Marlboro College Graduate Center, at 28 Vernon Street, next to the Museum. General admission is $4; free admission is extended to BMAC members and Marlboro College students, staff and faculty.
In conjunction with Brattleboro's annual Literary Festival, Victor Bockris, author of Warhol: The Biography, will read from his book, the definitive chronicle of the man who immortalized such phrases as "I don't believe in love," "I want to be a machine," "I am a deeply superficial person," and "In the future everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes," on Saturday, October 2 at 3 p.m.
Neil Printz, editor of the Andy Warhol Catalogue Raisonné: Paintings, Sculptures and Drawings will present case histories from the catalogue. The Andy Warhol Catalogue Raisonné is a scholarly project dedicated to cataloguing every painting, sculpture, and drawing that Warhol made. When it was published, John Waters remarked, "I stayed in bed all day and read every single word of it. It's a 'page-turner:' part detective novel, part 'how-to' book, and from cover to cover, perfect art history." As part of "Case Histories from the Andy Warhol Catalogue Raisonné," Printz will present and discuss the evidentiary procedures of art history: "clues" discovered in the archives, the expert "testimony" of witnesses, and the material "evidence" of Warhol's work itself on Thursday, October 14 at 7:30 p.m.
What do we remember about the 1960s, or think we remember? What are the legacies of this era of great social and cultural change? Melanie Gustafson, Associate Professor of History at the University of Vermont, will address these questions and more in "Fifteen Minutes of Fame: Lasting Legacies of 1960s Cultural History" on Sunday, November 7 at 2 p.m. She will explore what historians call the long sixties, which stretched from the 1950s to the 1970s. Transistor radios and televisions, political conformity and conflict, the gap between two generations, long hot summers and cold war seasons, music, poetry, and, of course, art—they are all subjects we will consider during this presentation to better understand the world that created artists like Andy Warhol, and the creations that he made.
John Hunisak, Professor of History of Art and Architecture at Middlebury College will reveal "The Serious Side of Warhol" on Sunday, December 12 at 2 p.m. (snow date December 19). Warhol wanted to become, and be regarded as, the greatest artist of his generation, but he also constructed an Andy Suit and an invented persona that were so convincing that they still obscure the man and the artist. One of the hardest working, most intelligent, and challenging artists of the 20th century, he is still perceived by many as a charlatan, simpleton, and phony. Hunisak's lecture will concentrate on Warhol as an artist who knowingly integrated trail-blazing newness with tradition, who understood the power of texts to enhance images, and who created a myth of self that numbers among the greatest of his creations.
Margo Thompson, Assistant Professor of Art History, University of Vermont will place "Pop Art in Context," on Sunday, January 16, 2005 at 2 p.m. (snow date January 23). Thompson will examine reasons why Warhol continues to fascinate, some 40 years after his paintings of celebrities and household products challenged everything we thought we knew about what art is. Dr. Thompson will compare Warhol with his peers Roy Lichtenstein and James Rosenquist, and consider what set Warhol's work apart and what makes it relevant to 21st-century audiences.
The Marlboro College Graduate Center was established in 1997 by Marlboro College to offer premiere graduate programs in technology and education at a Brattleboro branch campus. In 2000, the college purchased the Technology Center facility to augment its educational experience by fostering synergies among the tenant technology-oriented companies and the education programs, and to support regional economic development.
A private, non-profit organization founded in 1972, the Brattleboro Museum & Art Center is a non-collecting museum that produces frequently changing exhibitions of current art. BMAC presents the art of our time in a way that entertains, educates, and enlightens audiences of all ages. BMAC's galleries are open to the public from May 2004 through February 6, 2005, daily except Tuesday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Administrative offices are open year-round, Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

How do the invoicing terms work?
Subscriptions are on a pay in advance basis – we do not offer carrier collections any longer as a security measure to our delivery force. Your first invoice should arrive within the first few days of the start of your delivery service and payment is due upon receipt. We give a 14 day grace period to allow for mailing time before your subscription service will automatically stop. Your invoicing term will start the date you begin receiving service and your expiry will based on the length of term you select for payment. Credits for missed delivery or vacation stops will extend the expiration date on your account by the number of days you received credit for. Payments are due on the expiration date noted on your invoice for the next subscription term. When you start delivery for the first time, the notice will not have any expiry date noted as payment not yet received – when you receive future renewal notices, the expiry date will be noted based on your paid term. Please call our office directly at (250) 763-4000 or (250) 260-3284 if you have any questions or concerns with your invoice.
Please note that subscriptions do not stop automatically on expiry – call us to let us know if you wish to cancel your subscription as papers delivered during the 14 grace period after expiry will be billed for.
What are my payment options?
You may choose to pay your subscription in 3, 6, or 12 month terms or by automatic monthly renewal by bank or credit card (EASYPAY) – please see below for how this works. You may also pay via cheque or money order by mail sent with your remittance stub but please keep in mind that we must receive and post your payment before the end of the 14 day grace period. You may also make a credit card payment by phone to Circulation Department at (250) 763-4000 or (250) 260-3284. We accept Visa, MasterCard and AMEX. We also offer the availability to pay online via our website – choose the Subscribe option under the Services Menu and complete the appropriate subscription form as a Renewal. You will be directed to a secure online site in which to process your credit card payment. A service charge of $25 will be levied for any returned cheques.
I have received more than one invoice recently. Why?
Your invoice and remittance may have simply crossed in the mail if payment has recently been made. If so, you may disregard the invoice. Alternatively, your account may be now expired and you are now in to your unpaid grace period. If you are unsure of the status on your account, please call the Circulation Department at (250) 763-4000 or (250) 260-3284 and we will be happy to go over your account with you. Failure to keep your account current will result in termination of service so it is best to review the details with our agents to avoid any disruption in service.
Can I have my payments automatically deducted without receiving an invoice?
Yes. Our EASYPAY (our automatic monthly renewal program) allows you to pay automatically via your credit or bank account on a monthly recurring basis. To set up your subscription on the EASYPAY program, please follow the instructions on the back of your renewal notice or call our Circulation Department at (250) 763-4000 or (250) 260-3284 for further information. Please note that using your bank account will require you to send us a cheque marked VOID or a bank form that is designed for this purpose that authorizes these charges. For credit card EASYPAY, please complete the information on the back of the notice - be sure to sign it for authorization – and forward it to our head office for processing. A service charge of $ 2.50 will be levied for any Easy Pay automatic payment that is rejected or declined by the bank or credit card vendor.

Afghan children in Kabul receive educational support from Le Pelican, a MCC partner organization that provides educational, recreational, vocational and medical support. MCC
MCC raises concerns about Canada's Afghan mission
April 9, 2008
Lasting and sustainable peace in Afghanistan cannot be achieved through war, says MCC Canada executive director Don Peters.
A letter from MCC to Mennonite and Brethren in Christ congregations in Canada, raises concerns about Canada's military role in the Afghan mission and urges congregations to advocate for non-military means of peace building.
Canada, says Peters, has given limited encouragement to diplomatic and political solutions and to grassroots peace building initiatives.
He would like to see congregations encourage the Canadian government to change course and give its greatest energy and attention to supporting a comprehensive peace process involving diplomacy, dialogue and peace building initiatives at all levels of society.
MCC's long-term experiences in areas of conflict around the world show that lasting peace and reconciliation can only happen as people on all sides of the conflict are given opportunity to voice their grievances and play a part in resolving these grievances. This dialogue needs to include people at the grassroots level, as well as at the political and diplomatic levels.
"To call for peaceful initiatives in Afghanistan at this present time is not to say that we have all the answers to the ongoing violence," says the MCC letter. "It is to say war is not the answer. It is to say that Christ calls us to pray for, witness to, and speak out for a better way."
Esther Epp-Tiessen, MCC Canada's peace ministries coordinator, says despite NATO's efforts to bring stability to Afghanistan there is growing consensus that the Taliban insurgency has gained strength over the past few years.
The most recent UN Secretary-General's report for Afghanistan, released March 10, 2008, provides evidence of an increasingly coordinated insurgency. The report states the last few months have seen major suicide bombing attacks as well as increased attacks against international humanitarian workers delivering food aid.
The MCC letter is being distributed to congregations by the provincial MCC offices. The letter, along with related resources, is posted at mcc.org/canada/peace. [2] More information is available from your provincial MCC offices.

Movies I Should've Seen By Now (But Haven't)
