Car owners in Utica, NY put an average of 6,880 miles on their cars yearly, and yet 5,566 of New York's residents have a credit rating between 550 and 599.
Traditional finance companies and banking institutions, regrettably, cannot give vehicle loans to customers that have issues, for instance:
- Undesirable Credit
- Insolvency
- Foreclosures
- Repo
- Unpaid Bills
Utica Buy Here Pay Here: Strengths
Utica, NY buy here pay here dealerships, in contrast, make it easy for customers to buy automobiles in regular monthly repayments, without regard to their credit. These dealerships put the emphasis on current finances in place of credit. If you possess the funds to afford your payments, they're happy to ignore your personal credit history. You will often be able to spot these dealerships by their advertising messaging, such as We Tote The Note, We Finance, or Your Job is Your Credit.

Overland says farewell to Elvira
September 1, 2014
After 48 years and 10 months Elvira Cenoz said goodbye to the Overland Hotel on Friday with hugs, stories and of course — picon punches.
"It's retirement time," she said. "I'm really happy."
The Park family bought the historic Basque restaurant in May with plans to keep the establishment open.
Chuck and Shirley Hill have been visiting the Overland since 1965 as a dinner stop on their way to Reno from Southern California.
"This is the Basque place," Chuck said. "Elvira was always working in the kitchen and her husband was behind the bar."
The couple retired to the Gardnerville Ranchos in 1999.

"The lamb chops are my favorite," Chuck said. "Hers are not real small, they're always bigger, and no matter where we are we always liked hers the best."
Having enjoyed the hospitality and family atmosphere the Cenoz' have put into the Overland, Chuck said he was unsure of the new owners.
"I don't know how a big corporation is going to be able to run a family place like this," he said. "We'll see how it goes."
With 40 years experience of pouring picons for the Overland, bartender Jesus Rey said the key is, "very little grenadine, picon, a dash of soda water, a float of brandy and a lemon twist on top."
"Working at the Overland is always fun," he said. "It's a great place to meet people."
The building that houses the Overland was built in 1910 by Gardnerville butcher Sam Imelli. Imelli operated it as a meat market, using the steel rack that still exists overhead to move meat around the store.
The Overland was later owned by John and Jeanne Etchemendy, who operated a hotel, bar, restaurant and boarding house. Etchemendy sold it to Eusebio Cenoz and Esperanza Dufar. Cenoz' wife Elvira operated the property until this week.
Basque sheepherders frequently boarded at the Overland when they weren't out in the wilderness tending to their flocks, according to a U.S. Forest Service plaque mounted on the front.

BWW Reviews: A.C.T.'s UNDERNEATH THE LINTEL Delights Through November 23
A.C.T.'s production of Underneath the Lintel, by Glen Berger opened this week, bringing to center stage a "twisty mystery of a tale," delightfully brought to life by Academy Award nominee David Strathairn (Lincoln, Good Night, and Good Luck and Scorched at A.C.T.). It's a 90 minute solo performance that brings warmth and heart to the role of an unassuming and quirky Dutch Librarian who has rented a theatre for the evening in order to "prove one life and justify another." It's a show you don't want to miss and you're in luck because Underneath the Lintel's advance ticket sales have extended the show through November 23.
Librarians take their jobs very seriously and thus are especially vexed by people who return overdue books. Imagine what would happen if a book was returned 113 years past it's due date. Oh, the conniptions this would cause in an otherwise staid staff of book stackers. Playwright Glen Berger gives us just such a premise in Underneath the Lintel (that's a doorway, by the way, and not a legume).
We meet the Librarian one rainy night in an empty theatre that he's rented for the evening. The stage is lit for him in seemingly random fashion (Lighting design by Alexander V. Nicholas) and Scenic designer Nina Ball has given us a set littered with old props and costumes that look like they've seen better days, giving the space a dilapidated and somewhat dreamlike feel, as if each piece had a story to tell.
In through a backdoor walks the librarian, carrying a suitcase of scraps, lovely evidences, he says, that he will use to tell us the mysterious and unbelievable identity of the offending book borrower. The book in question is a tattered travel guide and soon we're caught up in the Librarian's own journey of discovery as various clues embedded in the book pique his curiosity to the point of distraction and finally obsession. Just who is this man?
The audience acts as somewhat of a jury for the Librarian. Based on the evidence given, it seems we are tasked with giving a verdict as to purported identity of the miscreant as well as to give our tacit approval of the Librarian's quest.
Neatly tagged and numbered "evidences" are brought forth from his suitcase and presented with increasing excitement as we get closer and closer to the big reveal. Strathairn gives a riveting performance, creating a character whose small oddities and affectations come across as humorously endearing, yet ordinary and even mundane, allowing the audience to be lulled into the inital straightforwardness of the Librarian's quest.
But somewhere along the line the ordinary becomes extraordinary as the evidences pile up and point back through time to Jerusalem and a cobbler whose shop was located along the pathway to Golgotha where a Jewish man named Jesus would one day meet his fate. Could this cobbler be one and the same with the travel book borrower? Could such a tale be true, asks the Librarian of himself and of his audience.
There are a couple of loose threads in the narrative and we're left with more questions than answers, but perhaps that is the point. Berger gives us a story about a man who has stood underneath the lintel of his life never daring to venture forth. It isn't until the Librarian crosses that threshold and pursues what becomes his passion that he finally comes alive. In the process he comes face to face with the question of God and the meaning of life. In the end, there are no answers, except that we are here because we're here and we proceed as best we can. And, if we are daring, sometimes we dance with greatness.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Oct. 21, 2011) - International Montoro Resources Inc. ("Montoro") (TSX VENTURE:IMT)(PINK SHEETS:IMTFF)(FRANKFURT:O4T). Boss Power Corp. has announced the material terms of a settlement with the Province of British Columbia in the amount of $30 million plus costs and disbursements in return for the surrender or transfer of the Blizzard mineral claims to the province. Montoro is now advancing its claim against the government for the expropriation of its Cup Lake/Donen uranium claims immediately adjacent to Boss Power's Blizzard uranium property.
In July, 2009, Montoro filed a Statement of Claim in the Supreme Court of British Columbia seeking compensation for the "expropriation" of the Cup Lake/Donen property. Montoro has incurred and paid in excess of $1.93 million in mineral property acquisition costs and expenditures to date on the Cup Lake/Donen project.
The Cup Lake/Donen uranium deposit occurs within a northwest trending paleochannel adjacent to the Blizzard uranium deposit. The Blizzard deposit was reported to host a historical indicated resource of 1.9 mil tonnes grading 0.247% U3O8 (approx. 10.4 mil lbs.) Montoro's Cup Lake/Donen deposit was estimated to contain a historical resource of 2.25 million tons grading 0.0373% U3O8 (approx. 1.68 mil lbs.- as reported in B.C. Government-Minfiles & Assessment Report #8105). The historical resource cited above predates and therefore does not conform to the more stringent reporting requirements of National Instrument 43-101. A work and evaluation program for further testing of the uranium mineralization was planned prior to the Province of B.C. ban.
Montoro remains committed to the exploration for uranium as an alternative energy source to promote the reduction of greenhouse gases. Montoro has been advancing its uranium projects in two other uranium friendly Provinces of Saskatchewan and Ontario. Montoro is also exploring the future of rare earth elements in British Columbia and Ontario.
About International Montoro Resources Inc.
Rocky Mountain Rare Metal Belt:
Montoro recently acquired an additional 11 claims - 4,278.52 hectares (the "Rocky" group) adjoining and surrounding its Tacheeda Lake claims. Montoro owns a 100% interest in 12 mineral claims prospective for Rare Earth Elements, in 2 separate claim blocks covering 11,500 acres (4,654 ha), in the new Tacheeda Lake camp and Carbo area. Montoro also holds a 100% interest in 5,604 acres (2,268 ha, 5 claims – the Chuchinka property) contiguous to and adjoining the Wicheeda, a recently reported Rare Earth Element discovery, northeast of Prince George, B.C.
Elliot Lake, Ontario:
Montoro is also focused on advancing its 100% owned Elliot Lake uranium/REE project in northern Ontario. The Company is also further investigating a very positive interpretation of a large airborne anomaly, near Pecors Lake in the northwest corner of our Serpent River property.
Saskatchewan & Labrador:
Montoro will continue the development with Belmont Resources Inc. (50/50) of its Crackingstone – 2,427 acres (982 ha) and Orbit – 27,450 acres (11,109 ha) uranium properties in the Uranium City District – Northern Saskatchewan. The Company also holds two claim blocks (50/50 with Belmont) in the Central Mineral Belt in Labrador, one of which is located in the historical Letitia Lake-Red Wine rare earth metals camp of west-central Labrador.

Dubai auto dealerships line up summer promotions
Dubai: How can one top up an automotive retail market that has been growing at an average 15 per cent plus month-on-month? If it is Dubai and summer, just bring on the promotions.
Local dealerships are upping their game to ensure that the high-momentum sales volumes of recent months will not fade during the summer stretch, which will also include the month of Ramadan. A split campaign strategy — one for the better part of summer and another to peak during Eid — is being deployed that, dealerships hope, will make new car buyers head to their nearest showrooms.
In fact, some dealerships are not expecting anything resembling a summer slowdown to happen. "The retail market is normally strong in Ramadan — from Al Futtaim Motors' perspective, the last two summers we achieved some great results following Ramadan promotions," said Simon Frith, managing director at the Toyota dealership. "This year, we expect sales to follow the same positive trend."
"In our opinion, automotive summer promotions are driven by consumer expectations and their nature is in line with the market's cultural and religious character."
But dealerships are moving well away from the straight discounts offered on models. Instead, they offer value-adds — in the form of deferred installments, free registration and insurance, extended warranties and time-specific roadside assistance — to ensure a prospective buyer is interested and goes on to ink the deal.
Change of approach
This change of approach also bears the influence of the car makers, who do not want to see the residual value of their models get eroded through straight-up discounts just months into their launch. (The last time dealerships engaged in major discounting was in the two years following the downturn in 2009; at the time, it had as much to do with stock liquidation as trying to get buyers back at any cost.)
According to Frith, "In the past, we have used both strategies to satisfy the varying needs of customers. We adopted PCP [personal contract purchase] schemes to ease the financial burden of owning a Toyota and help package all payments under low monthly installments, while giving customers the advantages of a guaranteed future vehicle value and more.
"In addition, the monthly repayments tend to be between 8 to 12 per cent lower than a comparable auto loan. In other instances, we launched a UAE-first 'Red T Sale', a promotion of discounted cars to attract price-conscious customers."
It is clear a horses (or should that be cars?) for courses strategy is in place and ticking along quite nicely. If the pace maintains, another bumper year of 300,000 plus units beckon. (According to auto industry sources, car sales have breached the 300,000 unit mark only twice — in 2008 and in 2012.)
But the question remains, do summer promotions offer as much value for the buck as those during the Dubai Shopping Festival or at the end of the year?
"There are two ways to approach the issue of marketing campaigns — one in terms of pure business value and the other in terms of customs/established practices of a market," said Thierry Seys, general manager at Al Nabooda Automobiles. "Summer promotions are a fact of life in Dubai's retail market and that's how it will always be.
"Moreover, the Ramadan period has tended to create peak sales for us and our plan is to have all-inclusive packages on each Volkswagen model. In terms of what we hope to sell during this period, this campaign will pay off."
Other dealerships — with their own campaigns to impress all too willing buyers — are hoping the same with theirs.

Trump says NFL too worried about players' safety
"Going to the White House was a great honor until you showed up!"
Don Bauder 7:15 p.m., Sept. 23
San Diego State University president Elliot Hirshman's $400,000 salary came in for a lot of criticism when it was announced earlier this year. Even Democratic governor Jerry Brown got into the act, telling university trustees they ought to undo the deal. Then, two weeks ago, Timothy P. White, the incoming head of the state university system voluntarily took a 10 percent cut from the pay received by his predecessor, bringing him down to $410,000. But when University of California regents awarded a $400,000 compensation package last month, there was no publicity at all.
Margarita Baggett, the new acting chief operating officer of UCSD's Health System, will make an annual base salary of $252,000, plus "additional salary" of $81,900, along with "Clinical Enterprise Management Recognition Plan" compensation of $50,085, and $16,695 from the Senior Management Supplemental Benefit Program, bringing her total remuneration to $400,680. She is also the health system's Chief Nursing Officer.
This is disgraceful. These people ought to hang their heads in shame. Patients struggle to pay their medical bills and students put themselves in hock for life while these bloodsucking leeches get outrageous salaries and then "additional salaries" as "supplemental" benefits for the senior management? Oh yes, they really need to have their salaries supplemented, the poor things.
Arianna Huffington captured it quite well with her 2003 book,"Pigs at the Trough." Indeed. No one in education or healthcare ought to be making $400,000. At least not if they have an ounce of integrity.
Not in public employment, that's for sure. That is 25 times the poverty rate for a family of 4 in CA.

Debut EPs can be like speculative movie trailers. They suggest what could be, but aren't necessarily representative of the final product. They're also snap impressions, asking the audience to make a decision based off of only a few minutes of material.
At four songs clocking in at just over 10 minutes, the self-titled debut EP from Fort Collins' Slow Caves is as "snap" as it gets. There's precious few seconds for intros, interludes and outros here. You could argue it's a smash-and-grab job: their debut single "Saturns" caught many an ear, and this release hits digital shores at just the right time to capitalize on the band's rising tide.
Their website describes the album as a "the soundtrack to the greatest movie you've never seen." It's fast apparent that this is less a mission statement than it is an attempt to add continuity to an EP made from four disjunct songs. It's also, by it's own admission, not true: "RYGOS (Drive)" is somewhere between a nod and parody of the soundtrack to "Drive," ("Are you going to the city / who is it you're there to see? / If you're there just to drive fast cars…") that like "Saturns," is hit with a liberal splash of The Strokes.
Slow Caves' adoration for Casablancas and Co might be the most cogent through-line on the EP, but "the greatest Strokes EP you've never heard" doesn't have the same edge, and again, wouldn't be true. It may put its best foot forward first with "Saturns," which convincingly sounds like a "Is This It" era B-side. But its followed immediately after by "Dandelion Girl," a thrash-by-the-numbers "hard rock" song of little interest. If an indie flick can't scrap together enough money to license a Motörhead song, "Dandelion Girl" would make for a cheap alternative. Considering how short the EP is, it's a concerning inclusion.
Each of these tracks suggest different identities for Slow Caves — jumping off points into metal, synth rock, and yeah, Strokes cover-band land. Fortunately, "Slow Caves" finishes with a light at its tunnel's end in "One." It's gloomier than the rest of the EP, and might not be the headspace Slow Caves wants to make their name off of. But it's a slick little bummer, and doesn't feel plucked as obviously from the band's influences as the others.
It's early days for Slow Caves, a band who are clearly still finding themselves. Depending on what they cut and what they leave in, their hypothetical full-length has promise. But even with a barely ten-minute length, "Slow Caves" suggests the band has a lot of editing to do if their movie is something you'd want to see.

The Longhorn Network has radically altered the college football landscape, and it hasn't even launched yet. The Big 12 and, by extension, the rest of college football has become destabilized. ESPN, somehow, maintains the pretense it is an objective bystander. Here are a few thoughts.
The SEC Will Expand. The conference misstepped with the TV money. They were first to the table, not last. They received a $3 billion TV deal over 15 years. Two years later, the less attractive Pac-12 received $3 billion over 12 years. The Big East thinks a massive deal is in play. Adding a team or two, any team or two, lets the SEC tear up that agreement and renegotiate.
Texas A&M is especially attractive. Besides being a stable football school, it adds Texas' 25.1 million population (growing at about 20 percent per decade) to the SEC's footprint. Unlike FSU, Georgia Tech or Clemson, the Aggies don't intrude on the natural footprint of any current school. Virginia Tech seems like a plausible candidate to come with them.
Texas A&M Will Join the SEC. After they do their legal due diligence. College football is unstable. Survival is the paramount concern. It's unclear what the sport will look like in 20 years. What is clear, the SEC and Big Ten will exist and reel in large amounts of money. No one is leaving the seats at that buffet. It's preferable to an unstable hodgepodge subject to Texas' whims. It's more lucrative, even if they pay a massive indemnity to leave.
Ultimately, it's BSDs making the decision and Texas A&M's don't want to be swinging diminished Ds. Texas, you boys are playing Kansas State on the Longhorn Network? We're trying to decide between LSU, Alabama and Arkansas for our huge national TV blowout at the Jerry Dome.
Will this blow up the Big 12? Not yet. As long as Texas and Oklahoma are invested, that conference will exist. As long as Dodds is AD at Texas and Stoops is coach at Oklahoma, expect that to stay the case. BYU or another replacement can be found for the Aggies. To keep its ESPN contract, any replacement would do. Even if schools such as Missouri would be open, they shouldn't receive compelling offers to leave. The Big East, however, should be really concerned. It is last on the totem poll in terms of loyalty and desirability. If Virginia Tech is the other SEC addition, that leaves the ACC with 11. They need another team, at least, to keep their title game. Do they take West Virginia? Syracuse? Pitt? All three? How does that affect their expansion plans, their planned TV deal, their existence and their automatic BCS bid?
With Hindsight, Would ESPN Have Created the Longhorn Network? It hasn't launched yet, but it has already had multiple unanticipated problems. What is this network going to show? Not disparaging the Mack Brown variety hour, but sports networks are driven by live sports. The Longhorn Network was banking on the high school games. Without those, the network's sum live programming will be two awful Texas football games, maybe a couple basketball games and ancillary sports. Is that enough to entice people to watch or to force cable providers to sign favorable deals to carry it (Not one has agreed to do so)? Time Warner stood up to the NFL on the NFL Network and it hasn't suffered mass subscriber cancellations or people storming their offices with pitchforks.
By existing, the Longhorn Network takes a huge dump on the ESPN's journalistic credibility. In all avenues, ESPN is now the YES Network for anything even tangibly related to Texas. It's a body blow for a brand already soiled by the Mike Leach fiasco. The conference realignment story is just the beginning of decades of a double-standard and awkward dodges that will soil perception, even among casual viewers, of the network as an honest source for information. The fallout exposes ESPN for the wanton power broker it is in college football. Texas A&M is leaving the Big 12 and its ESPN deal, because Texas became a business partner with ESPN, to join the SEC so that conference can renegotiate its ESPN deal for more lucrative terms. Billions of ESPN dollars are affected, yet ESPN is supposed to cover that dispassionately? Right.
The Longhorn Network will make money for ESPN and Texas, but that profit will come with a cost.

The astronomer Sir John Frederick William Herschel was a lifelong friend of Julia Margaret Cameron. They met in 1835 in South Africa, where Cameron was recovering from an illness and Herschel was conducting astronomical investigations. Herschel was not only a preeminent astronomer but also made several significant discoveries in photographic processes, most notably the invention of the
Even before she began to make photographs, Cameron kept apprised of discoveries in photography through her correspondence with Herschel. In this portrait of her dear friend, Cameron sought to portray "faithfully the greatness of the inner as well as the features of the outer man." Cameron draped Herschel in a swath of dark cloth, which served to highlight his white hair and to focus attention on his face. Herschel's unruly hair and eyebrows and fiery eyes are features commonly ascribed to a popular image of "genius"; they effectively convey strength of character and intellectual intensity.

Having developed numerous commercially successful new drugs, the pHase team has now identified an unmet clinical need in a large and growing market. The principals of pHase have already invested significant capital to initiate the development of a superior form of delivery for a drug in the allergy/immunology space that offers significant clinical, cost and ease of use advantages over the current form of treatment. In addition, the team has identified and confirmed a streamlined regulatory path that accelerates time to market while decreasing development costs.
The team consists of Dr. Lynn Yohana Howard, Dr. Nicholas Farina, Edward Walters and Chris Howard. Members of this team were instrumental in the development of such blockbuster drugs as Aricept, Aciphex, Altocor/Altoprev, Fortamet and Sodium Valproate. The teams extensive experience in both the formulation of new compounds along with the management of the manufacturing process, clinical trials and FDA approvals, particularly 505 b(2), positions them to succeed in this new venture.
pHase is currently in the process of securing additional capital to fund the 2nd phase of their initial drug development project. Further information on the team can be found on the company's website www.phasepharma.com.

I don't know what to say about Onewheel that I haven't already said about other one-wheeled, electric powered, self balancing skateboards before (echo, echo, echo…) It's been 7 years since we first posted about these types of contraptions, and this one is still going to set you back $1200. They've almost doubled their $100,000 Kickstarter goal, so you might actually see some of these in the wild. More info at rideonewheel.com.

Dear Lisa: My Bulldog will soon be having her first litter. What should be included in a puppy kit for the new owners? --Novice Breeder Needs
A great way to insure a new puppy's continued success with their new family is to provide an abundance of resources for each new owner. As a longtime breeder myself, compiling a bundle of resources and items, commonly known as the "puppy kit" is one of the fun administrative jobs of being a responsible breeder.
The best place to start when assembling the kit is to ask yourself, "What would I have wanted when I first got my eight-week-old puppy?" Here are some of my favorites to include:
- AKC Registration papers
- Vaccination history
- Worming history
- Pedigree & photos of sire and dam
- AKC/CAR Microchip enrollment information
- Training, housebreaking, sleeping, etc. tips
- Several days of current food to help in the transition to new home and food
- Coupons or literature from food manufacturers
- Feeding schedule for puppy including growth increase amounts
- List of recommended treats
- New puppy collar
- New leash
- New toy
- Old toy which brings the scent of his mother and littermates home with him
Additional Materials
- Parent Club information and newsletter
- Book list -- or a copy of your favorite recommended book
- Magazine articles
- Websites
- Recommendations for area vets, groomers, and training classes
When each new puppy owner comes to pick up their cute new bundle of energetic joy, spend at least an hour with them and go over each item in the kit. Also, include all your contact information so that the new owner can reach you during those first weeks of puppy hood.
If you have a question, send it to Lisa at email@example.com and she may select it for a future column. Due to the high volume of questions she cannot offer individual responses.

Derrick Comedy represents the brass ring of online sketch, or perhaps it's more that they captured that ring themselves. After wowing audiences on youtube for years they were able to make their own movie (Mystery Team) and have all gone on to work in television and beyond. Donald Glover (their breakout member) has easily become one of Hollywood's A-list in a very short time. Their story is basically what every online sketch team is looking for. "Do the work and get discovered" might as well be the sales pitch for starting an online sketch team. Sadly it doesn't work for many, but in the case of Derrick, it's been a staggering success.
Created by Dominic Dierkes, DC Pierson, and Donald Glover along with director Dan Eckman, the name Derrick presumably comes from trying to find a "D" name the team didn't already contain. Regardless these guys (and the rest of the Derrick Comedy team) have created some of the best of sketch. Here's a taste:
I have no idea why I love that one so much, but it's easily in my top 5 sketches of all time. Nobody seems to like my homemade WQXR staff T-shirt though. Sad. Here's another winner from the D-Team (get it?)
CraveOnline.com apologizes to the fans of Emo music for just how bad that sketch has served them. Extra points to DC Pierson for helming that one. Here's DC and Donald Glover going head to head in one of the Derrick favorites:
Here's a sketch that takes aim at all the shows like "24" and their continuous overuse of one annoying trope:
Last but not least, let's look at the sketch that originally put Derrick on the map. It's Bro Rape (yup, that's what it's called) and it's pretty darn funny. Also it has almost 10 MILLION hits. Good job Derrick, very good job.
So there's Derrick in all its glory. You can really see the age in these videos, as they were probably shot in cameras no longer used commonly today. That might be a great example of their genius however, as even without the gloss of a modern video they are easily the rival of anything online. Perhaps the modern glossy videos are making up for something Derrick had all along, serious comedic chops. Stay tuned to CraveOnline.com for more Sketch Feast, and beyond!

TAMPA — Antonio Tarver promised a spectacular victory.
It took 10 rounds, but the Tampa fighter finally started delivering on his promise to close out a unanimous decision over Clinton Woods on Saturday night at the St. Pete Times Forum.
Tarver (27-4, 19 KOs) smacked Woods around in the final two rounds to put an exclamation point on an easy 116-112, 117-111 and 119-109 decision in an otherwise plodding affair.
The victory, which adds Woods' IBF title to Tarver's waist, might finally set up a showdown with WBC champion Chad Dawson, who battled past a game Glen Johnson to win a close and exciting fight and took more punishment than expected.
"Chad Dawson right now is easy pickings," Tarver said. "He's not the fighter he was before tonight. He got hit by Glen Johnson. Getting hit by Glen Johnson is different than getting hit by Antonio Tarver."
Tarver didn't have any problem with Woods. He looked like the younger fighter (though he's four years older) and as if he could have his way with the English fighter at any time.
He chose the 11th round, teeing off with straight lefts and following it up the next round with more of the same.
"I fought the best light heavyweight in the world, and he proved it," Woods said. "Tarver is the champion."
Woods' high-pressure attack was vastly overstated in the prefight hype.
Tarver frustrated Woods (41-4-1, 25 KOs) the same way he did Johnson in their second fight, by sticking a few punches in his face and sliding away.
"He just couldn't find that spark; he seemed flat," said Dennis Hobson, Woods' manager. "Maybe the occasion got to him."
In Dawson's fight, the 25-year-old got exactly what he expected against Johnson — the toughest test of his career.
He passed it.
Dawson (26-0, 17 KOs) proved in the end he was the better all-around fighter. Johnson (47-12-2, 32 KOs) showed why he is, as he typically is no matter whom he fights, the fan favorite.
The crowd booed lustily at the decision — all three judges scored it 116-112, and the Times scored it 115-113 — as Dawson held his arms up in the middle of the ring and again as he left to return to the locker room.
"Of all the tough losses I've had, this is the worst one," said Johnson, who has lost 12 times, most close decisions he disputed.
"At my age (39), I can't afford to lose fights like this anymore. I hurt him many times; he hardly landed any good punches on me. … I deserved this decision."
It was Johnson's hard right hands that rocked Dawson in at least three rounds, including the 10th when Dawson stumbled and almost went down.
Dawson fought through the round. But he was at his best when he moved and controlled the ring with his jab and straight right. When he stood toe-to-toe with Johnson, the veteran got the better of him, but not often enough for the judges.
"We knew Johnson was a warrior, and we trained that way," Dawson said. "Glen is a great fighter. He caught me with some great shots, and I took them. But I executed my game plan, and I landed more punches."

The Christmas Fayre in Bury St Edmunds takes place at the end of the month with organisers expecting this year's event to be the best so far.
For the first time, this year's fayre will include a market on the Friday as well as the regular Saturday market, and a farmer's market on the Sunday.
Details of the fayre were revealed at a launch event held at The Brewery Tap in Bury last night.
"It's our ninth annual Christmas fayre. Every year its gets better – we know that because everyone tells us so," said tourism officer Sharon Fairweather, one of the main organisers of the event.
The annual fayre attracts coach loads of tourist from far and wide and is seen as a massive boost to the shops in the town.
"Every year there is something different happing. Everybody gets behind it, everybody wants to be a part of it. It's brilliant," Sharon said.
"There are lots of these events around the country but ours has still got that something special. Everyday in the tourist information office, somebody mentions Christmas, whether its June, January or December. We always joke wouldn't it be nice if one day we didn't mention it."
She said that this year's fayre had already been boosted by an influx or volunteers wanting to help out, something she attributed to the number of people giving up their time to help with other events earlier this year such as the Olympics and the Queens Diamond Jubilee celebrations.
Stall holders will be decorating their stands on the market while their will be musical entertainment including buskers, while the Abbey Gardens will include Santa in his grotto, reindeer, amusements and an old penny arcade.
The Santa run for East Anglia's Children's Hospices will feature on the Sunday.
St Edmundsbury Borough Cllr Rob Everitt who is in charge of the event said the impact of the Christmas Fayre is felt in the town the whole year round.
"I often walk up Abbeygate Street and its packed, and I am sure it is in part on the back of the Christmas fayre. People come to Bury see it is a wonderful place – and so they come back."
Greene King and Music Sales in Bury are the main sponsors of the fayre with each paying for entertainment stands.
John Bexon, head brewer for Greene King said: "Lets hope we have another succesful, friendly and enjoyable year."
The Christmas Fayre takes place from November 23 to November 25.
More details on the fayre are available at www.burystedmundschristmasfayre.co.uk

You might think of them as underdog names: The ugly, the awkward, the unpopular, or maybe the way too popular.
The names that most other people can't stand that you secretly, or perhaps not so secretly, have an irrational, or perhaps perfectly rational, fondness for.
What are the names that you love that everyone else seems to hate?
Thanks to Uselesskitty for posing this question on the message boards. We liked it so much and it's proved so popular we thought we'd open up the discussion here.
So tell us about the underdog name YOU champion, and why you love it.

Perfect for those that are looking to be close to public transport, but don't necessarily need to be next to the major sights. This is mostly a business hotel, but could be quite convenient if you are up to using public transportation. Classified as a bed and breakfast, this is more of a normal hotel than an American style B&B.
This is a modern hotel with all rooms having a TV, alarm clock, desk, minibar, and internet access available.
Within a few minutes' walk from the hotel there are several restaurants, grocery stores, and other shopping options as well as a pharmacy.

From Our Editors
The Salon at Lakeside's floor-to-ceiling windows grant astonishing glimpses of a tree-lined lake as they pour natural light over dark-wood accents and stately blue walls. Standing behind rows of rich leather chairs, a team of stylists chisels away tired tresses to reveal contemporary looks that reflect each client's personal style. As clients savor a complimentary cocktail and surf on the salon's free WiFi, head experts melt tension and liberate brains of irritating pop songs with soothing scalp massages. After they contour manes with precise, fashionable cuts, they slather hair bearers in products by Schwarzkopf Professional, Enjoy Hair Care, and Kenra Platinum.
When stylists aren't ramping up tints with highlights, multidimensional weaves, and all-over color, they straighten out frizz and add sultry waves to listless locks. Brides-to-be can rest easy on their big day, entrusting their façades to The Salon at Lakeside's artisans, who offer complimentary consultations, practice runs, and pre-ceremony sprints. When their transformations are complete, guests can lounge on the salon's relaxing outdoor veranda.

Yeah I probably should have said whatup. I was a little frustrated that day b/c I was skimming like shit and was trying snap out of it before my heat (which I didn't, really). So did he get any good footage?
Yeah I probably should have said whatup. I was a little frustrated that day b/c I was skimming like shit and was trying snap out of it before my heat (which I didn't, really). So did he get any good footage?
Yeah some incredible footage.
We're working on it now...should be dropping in a week or so at the most.
awesome. After I got knocked out I peaced b/c the surf was epic. I also had to leave at like 2:30 to drive home so I missed all the pro heats that day. Which sucks b/c that's half the reason I went in the first place.
Bill asked some kid to get out of my way while i was filming... Some kid with a a cannon HDV camera. I didn't want to ask him to move but he was getting in everyshot because of his position. I always try to work my way around stuff like that and if the kid doesn't care about what I'm trying to do there isnt a lot I can do about it....he has the same right to be there as me
did he have short blonde hair and a blue shirt?
yeah i think so.
I doubt there were multiples of the same camera.Originally Posted by ZapBulletRider
yeah he was def the only one there with that camera.
oh I didn't catch that he said the cam typeOriginally Posted by narwhal
I was not there..so I don't want to get into this he said/she said thing. But I have heard from several people and even witnessed it that Bill can be a dick about filming.Originally Posted by 302skim
And my brother is a little slow...so he most likely had no idea he was blocking you. If you asked him to move back a bit...he would of been fine with it.
I felt kinda weird that he asked other kids to move for me....I am all about getting the best shot, but I don't feel any more important than the other kids out there trying to film
but Matt, you ARE more important...you're the Matt Adams! women want and men want to be you (although some men like Benji just want you, too)
How does this thing work?
I'm like james bond...
Yeah you do have priority over him.

Breaking news: The hired UST filmer Matt Adams accidentally did not place his P2 cards in the camera before beginning his filming over the weekend. Unfortunately due to his terrible mistake, we will see no coverage of the Outer Banks Skim Jam.
ok before this gets too far.... I'm sitting in dewey beach right now editing. Give me a few days so I can make this sicky
Matt, it's only harder to break the news further down the road. Just rip the band aid off right now. Quick and somewhat painless. Somewhat.
It's cool, I caught the whole thing on my cameraphone, so it should be up soon.
No he is busy starting his own tour.
hahah you caught it before the edit. Epic.

Until that day comes, they all run. The minute the kids return from school, they drop their book bags on the steps of St. Charles, a 19th-century Victorian mansion, and slip on orange reflective vests. The seasoned ones go with Sister Mary Rose, 49; newer arrivals run with Sister Maximilian, 39, who covers the same four-mile route at a 12-minute pace. She pushes a baby jogger, so the kids can take turns hopping in for a rest if their energy flags. They all race, too, at nearby events, including the St. Charles Children's Home 5-K, which celebrates its tenth anniversary this September.
When the kids are back from their run, guzzling water, chatting about their 5-K PRs, and insisting, with pre-adolescent seriousness, that they never get tired, they don't show any signs of the heartbreak they've experienced. The sisters know better.
"We have many children who come in with deprivation disorders, like post-traumatic stress, that you'd see in refugees," Sister Maximilian says. "They're worried they're not going to see food again. After a race, they'll take six drinks and sip out of each one. Our kids often arrive with very disturbed behaviors as a result of all they've gone through." The sisters discovered just how therapeutic running could be in 1996, when they were looking for ways a 7-year-old girl could ease her anger. Sister Maximilian, whose previous athletic experience was "the sport of the season" in high school, started taking her for daily walks on a nearby trail. One summer day they spontaneously raced 50 yards to a tree. By the time school started in the fall, they were jogging three miles at a time. Naturally, the other kids wanted to come along, and within a few months, the after-school run became "part of the natural progression of the day," Sister Maximilian says. "It's like the sun rising." Running, in fact, is the farthest thing from a punishment; it's a way the sisters love their charges.
The kids average five days of running each week (Sisters Mary Rose and Maximilian run seven days), and the results are impressive. Before the running program began, the sisters would have to physically restrain angry and violent children almost daily; now, months go by and no restraint is necessary. And because the kids are in such good shape, they do well at other sports, like basketball and soccer. "They're accepted at school because of how well they can play," Sister Mary Rose says. "It builds their self-esteem."
That's what the sisters see. For the kids, it's all about the excitement of racing. Shortly after starting the daily runs, Sister Mary Rose spotted a flyer for a local 5-K and figured the children might enjoy it. They were shocked to learn that they could beat adults. "Runners are such positive people," says Sister Mary Agnes, also of St. Charles. "Everyone was complimenting the children, and it was so motivating to them." Now they run as many as 18 races a year, and race directors call to invite them to events. "It's fun to spend time with other people who like to do what you do," says one 12-year-old boy who has run 22:48 for the 5-K. (To preserve the children's privacy, the sisters asked that their names not be used.) Races, he says, "are like a gift at the end of the winter."
Their signature event, the St. Charles 5-K, is held every Labor Day. Back in 1996, the sight of bouncy kids in orange vests, accompanied by nuns in habits, charmed the townspeople. A local insurance company offered to host a road race as a benefit for the home, which relies on state funding and private donations. Last year, the race drew 500 runners and yielded $12,000.
Sister Mary Agnes, who started coordinating the St. Charles 5-K in 2003, always hopes for more, and has taken pains to make the race appeal to competitive runners and families alike. "When I got in the car and figured out the current course, I was so psyched," she says. The USATF-certified route, just off Interstate 95 in Portsmouth, is flat, fast, and professionally timed, and the top three finishers earn cash prizes. (The winning time last year was 15:15.) So that more kids can earn honors, the age-group awards are broken down into narrower-than-usual categories: seven and under, eight to 11, 12 to 15, and 16 to 19. And in keeping with the lessons the sisters teach--speed itself isn't important, but effort and improvement are--any runner who sets a PR receives a special medal.
For the children, putting on their team red-and-white racing uniforms for the first time is prize enough. "We've been running for so long, I have to remind myself what a novelty it is for a new child to do that," Sister Maximilian says. "Never in their life have they been a part of something like that." Talk about prayers being answered.

Here's the thing I love about those Texasisms: They're all true, and that's great news for turkey hunters who want to head to the Lone Star state in a quest for a Rio. In keeping with the "bigger" theme, I could easily find 50 things instead of 10 to tell you before you strike out on a Texas adventure. But that would take a lot more room than I have here. Besides, you will continue to read much about Texas in this magazine, as you always have. That's because the state is a premier early-season destination for writers looking for new material and turkey hunting gear manufacturers who want to field-test new products in an environment where they can really put stuff through the paces.
What follows is a general overview of things I've learned from several Texas trips, all in the southwestern quarter of the state. Some of it is good advice anywhere, but these are things I've found to be most noteworthy.
Also, be aware that when you hear about Texas' generous bag limit of four turkeys, that is most often in reference to the Rio Grande subspecies, but there is a population of Eastern birds in East Texas, for which the bag limit is not as liberal.
1. Ask questions, and then ask some more questions. It isn't difficult to find a guide or outfitter who will host you for your Texas hunt, and I highly recommend you go this route, at least for your first visit. But all ranches are not created equal. Key items to inquire about (in addition to the obvious consideration of price) include how much property will be available for you to hunt, how many other hunters will be on the property and whether the hunt is guided, semi-guided or not guided at all.
Next, ask about hunting methods. I've had disappointed hunters tell me their Texas "adventure" meant sitting over a corn feeder with instructions to stay put until the "guide" came back to pick them up. Well, hunting over bait is perfectly legal in Texas, and if you want to hunt that way, have at it. But if you want more excitement and challenge, make sure your host will accommodate you by pointing out roost areas, likely turkey travel routes and other features that will allow you to move around and give you the chance to call and work birds.
Ask about the limit; often it is only two birds, even though your license is good for four. Sometimes a ranch will allow you to shoot a third bird. Make sure you understand their policy before you go.
Asking for references and calling as many as you can should help you decide on a guide or outfitter and eliminate unwelcome surprises.
2. About Optics: Don't make me say it. Hunting in much of Texas bears little resemblance to staking out Uncle Bill's 10-acre clover field in Minnesota. Many of the ranches that offer the best hunting are measured not in acres but in square miles. If you're going to try to hunt these big wide-open spaces with efficiency, you need to take binoculars. This trip might be the perfect excuse to upgrade to some really good glass. Then, if there's any money left over, consider adding a range-finder to your optics arsenal. Distances can be deceiving, particularly if you've done most of your hunting in heavily forested areas.
3. Take extra camo. I'm not trying to insult your intelligence by telling you to wear clothing that matches your surroundings (duh, but true). But I am telling you to be sure to inquire of your host about the landscape you'll be hunting before you go. One misconception about Texas is that the whole place is brown and dusty, so light-colored "brush" or "western" patterns are called for. Well, sometimes that might be the case. But a couple of years ago when we held our T&TH Sweepstakes hunt near San Angelo, our host Skipper Duncan of Adobe Lodge told us they'd had one of the wettest springs in years. We arrived to find blooming flowers everywhere we looked, and the grass was so green it seemed to be glowing. Mossy Oak Apparel had helped sponsor our sweepstakes, and the new Mossy Oak Obsession pattern with its bright, almost tropical green hues turned out to be just the ticket.
On the flip side, this past spring I hunted at Dove Creek Ranch, just a skip away from Adobe. Ranch manager Ronnie Rose told us that temps had dropped into the teens only days before we arrived and their spring was two weeks behind. It had warmed up before I and some writers arrived to hunt, but the landscape lay in stark contrast to my earlier Texas hunt. Realtree had just introduced its new Advantage Max-1 HD pattern and supplied us with some clothing to try. Max-1 looks nothing like Obsession, and this time it was the best choice.
4. Be ready to sit anywhere. On the Dove Creek hunt last spring I was hunting with Realtree's media relations manager, Dodd Clifton, when we met up with a huge group of Rios doing what they're known for — traveling. We executed what I dare say was one of the finest end-around moves ever made in the history of turkey hunting to get in front of the group, then dove into a patch of mesquite- and cactus-laden scrub brush in an effort to set up.
Such places are noticeably lacking in 30-inch oaks to rest against. So I curled up in a sort of semi-fetal position and tried to hold still without leaning on a nearby cactus. Clifton, meanwhile, simply unfolded the stadium-style seat that was built into his vest and sat. If he would have set down his gun and picked up a beer I might have thought he was sitting in the club seats at Lambeau Field. I was so jealous that when I finally got a shot a few minutes later, I missed. At least that's the excuse I've been using. Next time I'm going take such a vest, or steal Dodd's.
5. Pack these essentials. Speaking of setting up, I've learned the hard way that there are three things every hunter needs: leather gloves, knee pads and ratchet cutters. Remember those cliches I mentioned earlier? There's another one that says something to the effect that everything in Texas will either bite, cut or stick you. It's true.
Gary Sefton, the Woods Wise marketing manager with whom I've hunted Texas a couple of times, told me about the leather gloves, something for which I've been deeply thankful. The knee pads didn't occur to me until last year when I tried some of Ol' Tom's "Technical Turkey Gear" pants, which include foam pads that you slip into interior pockets. You can take them out if you don't like them, but in Texas they're a great option. If you don't want to go that route, consider packing a set of knee pads like basketball players wear. You'll be glad you have them. As for the ratchet cutters, you already have those, don't you?
6. About those snakes … If you live in snake country you've already honed your sixth sense about them. If you don't live in snake country you're probably either terrified of them or completely naive. My best advice, which I'm borrowing from guys who have had a lot more snake encounters than I have, is this: Be aware and be wary, but don't be paranoid.
I've se en only one rattler in four trips to Texas, and it was dead. It's not that I haven't been looking for them, I just haven't crossed paths with any. Your host can usually tell you where the most likely snake hangouts are, but that doesn't mean one couldn't be curled up in the shade of that little bush where you're about to build your blind. For that reason, snake boots are a very good idea. Of course, they're only helpful if a snake strikes you below the knee. So, exercise extra caution when reaching out to clear a sitting spot and double-check the area before you settle in to call.
7. Take your whole arsenal of calls. When Rios are at their most cooperative, you can have a blast working them with all sorts of calls. So haul along as many as you can carry. Why not?
Before I took my first trip to Texas several years ago, a guy told me Rios really like friction calls. I don't think they "like" or respond to friction calls better than other types. What he probably really meant to say was that Texas is a good place for loud calling. When the terrain is wide open, the wind is blowing and there's not a turkey in sight, you have nothing to lose by wailing away on a boat paddle box call or yelping and cutting with gusto on a glass call.
8. GPS? Yes. Wander in circles for an hour as you try to find your way out of a mesquite-thicket maze and you'll see that a GPS unit is as indispensable in Texas as it is in the Ozarks.
9. Be prepared for the heat. (Warning — blatant product endorsement ahead!) Texas and heat just go together during turkey season. Sure, there's the odd cool day here and there, so you'll want to pack a jacket, but when the temperature rises, it really spikes. Remember how I mentioned the late spring during last season? Well, Texas must have decided to play catch-up during the week I was there. Two days in a row the temperature climbed to 93 degrees. Both days I spent the last few hours of daylight near the overflow runoff from a windmill's water tank after hiking in a mile from the main road.
A couple of years ago I would have been sitting in my sweat-soaked cotton T-shirt and pants just trying to survive the day. But this time I wore an Under Armour HeatGear T-shirt underneath a lightweight Ol' Tom vent-back long-sleeve shirt. I can't explain exactly how Under Armour clothing does what it does, but the way it wicks moisture away from your body creates a cooling effect that's almost as good as sitting in front of a fan. Honest. And if that's not enough, it's anti-microbial, which means you don't smell like a javelina in a mud wallow at the end of the day. (Well, you might, but the clothing doesn't.)
10. Understand Your License. Upon killing a Texas turkey you are required to notch out the month and day of the kill and print the place (ranch name or WMA) and county of the kill. You must then affix the tag to the turkey's leg.
Therefore, it helps to know where you are before you kill a turkey. It also helps to have a string or some sort of tie to attach the tag. Last spring, contributing editor Scott Bestul and I were hunting about two miles apart on the same ranch one afternoon. The good news is that we both killed a turkey. The bad news was that I didn't know which county I was in and Bestul didn't have anything with which to attach his tag. All of this could have been much more unpleasant than it turned out to be when we met the game warden a while later.
See this month's "Tree Call" column for the details of that embarrassing moment. Come to think of it, I guess I should have included an 11th tip here: Don't forget to take a good dose of common sense.

The 2010 vintage is truly exceptional and in my view the best vintage in recent decades in Burgundy. The reds are extraordinary and the whites are at least outstanding and close to a extraordinary rating.
Some experts have however mentioned a somewhat higher variance in quality in the 2010s compared to the outstanding 2009 vintage. Others have claimed that the wines from 2010 are shutting down allready – thus not showing the fruity side.
This could be the case – but as allways the truth is in the bottle and the glass – so lets find out!
A good occation to test the current condition of the 2010s is the annual vintage tasting of Otto Suenson – one of the leading importers of top Burgundies in Denmark.
The red 2010s .. Rouge to high level
The tasting offered a vide range of red Burgundies from Bourgogne Rouge from Amboise to Clos de Vougeot from Domaine Ponsot.
- Bertrand Amboise, Bourgogne Rouge 2010
- Domaine Ramonet, Chassagne Montrachet Rouge 2010
- Lechenaut, Morey-Saint-Denis 2010
- Jacques Prieur, Beaune 1er cru Champs Pimonts 2010
- Mongeard-Mugneret, Pernand Vergelsses 1er cru 2010
- Tollot-Beaut, Aloxe Corton 1er cru Vercots 2010
- Francois Bertheau, Chambolle 1er cru 2010
- Robert Chevillion, Nuits-Saint-Georges Bousselots 2010
- Sylvain Cathiard, Vosne Romanee 2010
- Comte Armand, Pommard Clos des Epeneaux 2010
- Dugat-Py, Gevrey Chambertin Coeur de Roy 2010
- Domaine Ponsot, Clos de Vougeot Vieilles Vignes 2010
The overall impression is a very high standard … the wines are all transparent, and reflects the terroir and the producers style. The fruit is very much present in the wine … if allowed by the producers style, and most of the wines are in my view very delightful now.
Some producers do however have a more backward style … and the transparent 2010s really reflects this .. no help from a opulent fruit like in 2009.
The tasting showed very good quality in the "low level" wines – the Chassagne Rouge from Ramonet, and the Pernand Vergelesses 1er cru from Mongeard Mugneret offers lovely drinking now … they are indeed both welcome at my table. The Lechenaut Morey-Saint-Denis is also lovely .. openly knit … and drinking well now.
In the top end the Sylvain Cathiard Vosne Romanee really offers a beautiful Vosne-Romanee expression of terroir and Vosne style … a truly beautiful village wine – very impressive.
Tasting notes on most of these wines will follow.
The white 2010s … Blanc to top
The whites represented the full range from Bourgogne Blanc to Grand Cru from Domaine Leflaive.
- Bertrand Amboise, Bourgogne Blanc 2010
- Lechenaut, Bourgogne Hautes Cotes de Nuits 2010
- Merlin, Pouilly Fuisse Vergisson 2010
- Benjamin Leroux, Puligny Montrachet 2010
- Paul Pillot, Chassagne-Montrachet Clos Saint Jean 2010
- Domaine Leflaive, Batard Montrachet 2010
The overall impression of the whites is very positive, and they confirmed that the white 2010s now are showing better and better from the bottle. Just after bottling some whites were very confused, with a yin/yang effect between the fruit and the acidity. Recent tastings show a much better integration of these elements, and the wines a now showing outstanding quality.
The whites are very transparent, and the terroir and producer style are very much reflected in the wine – this can be exceptional – but also very revealing!
Two whites deserve a special attention – Paul Pillot, Chassagne-Montrachet Clos Saint Jean, a very crisp and crystal clear Chassagne. A very interesting wine for those who love focused and mineralic wines … this is not a Sprite on oak … this is pure terroir driven Chardonney. Need to taste more wines from Pillot.
The second white is – surprise – the Batard-Montrachet 2010 from Domaine Leflaive … a fantastic wine – the 2010s from Leflaive are truly great.
Tasting notes will follow.
Summing up on the 2010 vintage
The tasting confirmed the exceptional quality of the 2010 vintage … both for the reds and the whites.
As for the two questions. Yes – if the producers style and the terroir is backward and slightly austere, then the 2010 vintage will indeed show it, and perhaps even highlight this. And yes the 2010s will eventually shut down just like other vintages and it will loose the young primary fruit at some point.
As for the variation in quality level – yes the transparent 2010 vintage will show if there are problems in a wine – but this tasting showed very high quality in general with the expected quality variation between the lesser producers and the top level Domaines.
Lastly a big hand to Otto Suenson for making this tasting … a lot of lovely wines from a broad range of producers.

Vienna (Oct. 9)
(J. T. A. Mail Service)
After the fears of a clash between the "private armies" of the Fascist Heimwehr and of the Social Democratic Party at their rival demonstrations last Sunday in the Wieney-Neustadt, which owing to the action of the Government, passed off without disorder, the two bodies are now engaged in a controversy on the subject of whether the Heimwehr is or is not an anti-Semitic organization.
The Socialist papers are trying to show that the Heimwehr is an anti-Semitic organization and reproach the Jewish industrialists here for supporting it. "Are they going to continue to support an anti-Semitic body?" the papers ask. "Dr. Steidle, the Heimwohr leader," they declare, "speaking at the Heimwehr demonstration on Sunday in the Wiener-Neustadt made use of anti-Semitic phrascology, but when the reports were given to the press afterwards, these passages were cut out because it was feared that the Jewish capitalists would take fright and withdraw their financial support."
The Heimwehr Organization immediately issued an official communique denying there were any anti-Semitic passages in Dr. Steidle's speech at Wiener-Neustadt. "The Heimwehr," the communique says, "is in no way directed against any religious community. It has no anti-Semitic tendencies whatever. The only purpose of the Heimwehr Organization is to protect all citizens without distinction against Marxist terrorism."

I think Buckner and Denari are a much better combination than they have in Atlanta.
Yeah, I'm not really a QB fan although I think he's been much better this year. Less vague, less homer, better explanations and awareness. I have a big pet peeve for broadcasters who miss what I can see for myself during a game and QB used to have this issue I think, but he's been better lately to me.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

I really like Denari's delivery myself, even though originally we were all worried about pitch/timber, etc (well many people were at least).
But Heisenberg (and others) are dead-on when they describe how bad it is for many other teams.
And of course the king of all homerism is any Boston broadcast. Yeesh.

The Glades Films Food Trucks on Hollywood Beach (Pictures)
Food trucks line Hollywood Beach's Boardwalk for a film shoot.
Jim Heins
The Glades, the A&E television series that stars Matt Passmore as a Chicago detective sent to frolic in the South Florida sun as punishment, typically films on location using the beautiful beaches and people of Miami and Fort Lauderdale as its backdrop.
Last evening, casting directors at The Glades got creative. Instead of hiring people, they hired food trucks as featured players for one of the show's scenes. Latin Burger & Taco, Red Koi, Ms. Cheezious, Dim Ssäm á GoGo, Boba Station, and Arepa Box were parked on Hollywood Beach as part of a staged food-truck roundup.
Filming took place well into the night, with some trucks being used for additional footage today and tomorrow. Clean Plate Charlie has exclusive photos taken on the set and will update readers on when the episode will air.

Fashion photographer Jeanloup Sieff, who was favored by Yves Saint Laurent, is renowned for sensual yet refined photos, many of which have now become iconic images. He was often commissioned by prestigious fashion publications, such as Vogue and Harper's Bazaar, and he worked on many global marketing campaigns for high-end brands such as Chanel. He died in 2000 at the age of 66, and is said to have been one of the most prominent fashion photographers of his generation.
One of the main works of this exhibition is Sieff's 1971 photo of Saint Laurent. The image, which was used to launch the very first Yves Saint Laurent fragrance for men, made Saint Laurent and Sieff's names synonymous with a breakthrough in male sexuality in fashion — the use of male nudity in a non-macho manner. Several other noted portraits from Sieff's photographic career will also be on display; till July 31.

By Pete Pappas
GolfWRX Staff Writer
There's a lot going on opening day at WGC-Accenture Match Play today, but nothing is as huge as what happened even before the first ball was teed up.
"We're delighted with the opportunity to make this announcement," said Tim Finchem, PGA Tour Commissioner, during a press conference in Marana, Ariz.
Finchem was referring to the partnership extension between the PGA Tour and package shipping giant FedEx, which will last through at least 2017 and be worth at least $175 million.
And for those of you counting, well, let's just say that's a whole heck of a lot of golf balls.
"It is a nice addition to the things that have been happening that lay out our future in a very positive way and allow us to build the Tour both domestically and internationally," Finchem said. "We've seen it grow, it's become a big part of what the PGA Tour is about and it's had the effect of pulling our season together. We're going to try to make some adjustments in the next couple years with the FedEx Cup in an even more impactful way."
FedEx has been a PGA Tour partner since 1986, when it was the title sponsor of the FedEx St. Jude Classic in Memphis, Tenn.
But not many people besides Finchem himself could have foreseen the impactful way this partnership would grow since the FedExCup was first announced in November 2005.
The Playoffs for the FedExCup offer $35 million in total bonus money to golfers based on their finish in the season-long competition, including a $10 million prize to the FedEx Cup Champion (it could become as much as $12 million in the future).
Only three years ago there were whispers that the PGA Tour was in financial trouble. But Finchem would have none of that. And this past September secured new long-term television agreements with NBC and CBS.
And while today's announcement doesn't necessarily mean the PGA Tour is depression-proof, it does go a "Bubba" mile towards securing player payout levels and its own long-term organizational health and vitality.
The 2012 FedEx Cup playoffs will begin with The Barclays tournament at Bethpage State Park's Black Course in New York. The following week it moves to the Deutsche Bank Championship in Boston. Then on to the third leg, the BMW Championship. And finally it culminates with the Tour Championship Sept. 20-23 at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Ga.
Previous FedEx Cup Champions include: Tiger Woods (2007, 2009), Vijay Singh (2008), Jim Furyk (2010) and Bill Haas (2011).
FedEx Corporation is the second-largest package shipping company in the U.S.
