She's a dirt horse from Emerald Downs trained by Jim Penney.[/quote] Jebrica is actually a gelding whom the connections have wanted to try on turf. His last race was on turf at Hollywood but against better horses and Jebrica ran poorly. He can run some--he's won a couple of stakes up here--if he takes to the surface better this time he has a shot.
Re: Gary Stevens Dashes Comeback Speculation
Exactly. That's what I tried till my wife put the Kybosh on the plan. Can only imagine how tough it is when the cheering stops. That and competing at the highest level as one of the greats. Truth be told I didn't realize he was this young. In this day and age, especially with the advancements in sports medicine and nutrition no reason why he can't feel those adrenaline rushes for another 5 years. And what the heck is wrong with that?
Re: [WAS] Gary Stevens Dashes Comeback SpeculationCA Riding colony is still tough but anywhere near it was 10-15 years ago. All Gary Stevens has to deal with is Rafael Bejarano, Joe Talamo, Garrett Gomez, Edwin Maldonado, Martin Garcia, Tyler Baze, Julien Leparoux and Mike Smith. In the East, he would've had to deal with tougher like Javier Castellano, Joel Rosario, John Velazquez, Jose Lezcano, Ramon Dominguez, Rajiv Maragh and Rosie Napravnik. So techincally Gary chose the right place to make his comeback in the West.
Re: [WAS] Gary Stevens Dashes Comeback Speculation
Like all jockeys, all Gary has to deal with is getting quality horses to ride. America must have the highest "goofs per capita" rating of any nation outside Antarctica.
Re: [WAS] Gary Stevens Dashes Comeback SpeculationGary will be riding more on a Mike Smith basis.
Re: [WAS] Gary Stevens Dashes Comeback Speculation
Speaking of that. Has he said anything about an agent?
Re: [WAS] Gary Stevens Dashes Comeback SpeculationGoof
Who in the hell is going to trust a 50 year old with a good horse. Secondly, he will ride very conservative, last thing on his mind is not getting hurt.
Re: [WAS] Gary Stevens Dashes Comeback Speculation

University of Central Florida officials canceled morning classes Monday as investigators looked into a suspicious death of a student on campus and secured several explosive devices.
Student James Oliver Seevakumaran, 30, was found dead overnight in a dorm room at Tower 1, an on-campus living quarters near the school's arena that houses about 500 students. Officials said they believe Seevakumaran died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Watch: Suspicious death forces evacuation
Shortly after investigators were called to look into the student's death, several suspicious devices were found somewhere inside the building. An assault weapon, a handgun and a number of explosives were discovered in a bag inside Seevakumaran's room.
"Police found an assault weapon and what appeared to be improvised explosive devices," UCF Associate Vice President Grant Heston said.
Officials immediately evacuated the building, displacing hundreds of students. Many students believed the evacuation was simply a fire drill, but they learned later what really occurred through a series of text message alerts.
At a news conference on Monday, the campus Police Chief Richard Beary said that the material and notes found in the dorm makes it appear that an attack on campus was planned.
"It could have been a very bad day. We are blessed here at the University of Central Florida. Let's face it, one shooting is bad enough, multiples anyone with this type of weapon and this amount of ammunition could have hurt a lot of people," said Beary.
Beary also indicated that Seevakumaran had laid out a timeline and his actions, but the quick response from police made him change his mind.
Police said Seevakumaran set his plot in motion at 12:20 am. when he pulled the fire alarm. Detectives said they think he did it to draw students out in the open, making them easier targets.

Yoga has been a part of Paulette's daily life and inspiration since 1999. Paulette not only works as a yoga instructor, but is the business developer for Truth N Health, LLC. "In 2002, because of the connected and peaceful feeling I felt after each practice, I thought it was selfish to not share this with others. I realized the more I practiced and learned, yoga was constantly opening me in ways beyond just new flexibility and strength within my body. So, I set out to make it part of my life's work to teach others the beauty and wonder that a living yoga practice has brought me. I received my yoga training from teachers Anne Phyfe Palmer and Melina Meza at 8 Limbs Yoga Studio in Seattle in 2002. I have continued to study with some of the top yoga teachers in the US, including Sharon Gannon and David Life, Shiva Rea, Baron Baptiste, Ana Forest,and Seane Corne. I am also one of the founders of Home Yoga Studio on lower Queen Anne in Seattle, which still exists today."
"My belief is that it doesn't matter how far you can stretch or what level you get to as a student, as long as you can breathe you can do yoga. I believe if you're aligned properly and can still smile, you'll be able to tap into your body-mind wisdom and reach even greater strength and flexibility – physically, emotionally and mentally. It is my hope and aspiration to share the experiences and benefits of my own living yoga practice with as many people as I can. My goal has always been to help people open up to a greater joy and peace that comes from within and an ease of living within their own bodies comfortably. My teachings through various traditional and non-traditional methods, are designed to assist students to utilize their body as a means for strengthening concentration, self-awareness, and meditation, as well as to purify and energize the mind with the focus not only on keeping the body healthy and flexible, but on opening the mind to long-term relaxation and well-being, to help people begin to connect to an authenticity deep within, find their inner creativity and flow, and learn to live their yoga not just on the mat but in all aspects of life. I look forward to teaching you as well as learning from you. Namaste."

Following in the footsteps of his mentor, Christian began teaching Vedic Meditation within eighteen months of learning the practice. He finds true joy in teaching this knowledge and building a healthful, vibrant, and conscious community.
Anna N. Dolopo, L.Ac. has been practicing Chinese medicine since 1999. Her practice began in San Diego, which included working and volunteering with the homeless community in Pacific Beach, the HIV/AIDS community, Samahan Community Medical Clinics in National City and Mira Mesa. From 2003-2006, Anna worked at the Alternative Health Center in Irvine. Anna has been growing a highly effective Chinese medical practice with the powers of Dr. Richard Tan's Balance Method in beautiful Laguna Hills since 2006.
Anna is a proud graduate of Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in the San Diego campus. Her education, training on and off campus and the multitude of resources open to her during school and after graduation have given her the confidence to help every patient live a vital, centered and painless lifestyle.
Since the beginning of Anna's practice, she has been very successful in the treatment of menstrual and digestive issues. Anna's general practice has also been effective in the treatment of serious diseases such as post-stroke, congenital heart disease, weight loss, hypertension, allergies and depression. Many pregnant women also seek her treatments to induce labor naturally if the woman's labor is threatened by an impending induction by the obstetrician with Pitocin. The focus of her practice now is helping patients graduate from the causes of their physical pain, such as migraines, carpal tunnel, neck pain, frozen shoulder, sciatica and pre/post-operative conditions.
Monique has always been an artist. She started creating as early as she could remember and ended up with a Bachelors of Art in fine arts. Sometime during her studies, she found another love; yoga. Monique has been practicing for 8 years and has no intention of stopping. She received her 200 RYT in 2011 through True Flow Yoga in Newport Beach, learning how to guide others through their yoga journey–mostly a vinyasa style practice. Through her own practice, Monique has learned so much about herself as well as how to deal with the everyday stressors of life in a more calm, peaceful way. It has helped her not only as a person but as a mother and she wishes to continue sharing this with others with her current Ayruvedic Studies. Monique is also a yoga instructor for toddlers and is the creative designer and marketing director for Truth N Health, LLC. Other than art and yoga, Monique is a stay-at-home mommy of a 3 year old boy which she believes is the best job in the world. "I have had a deep interest in holistic healing through both Chinese medicine and Ayurvedic medicine as well as whole food nutrition and have researched these subjects on my own for the past 5 years. I have a passion for healthy food and use this towards my families well-being."

The world renowned and respected American brand, Timberland, was founded in 1973 by the Swartz family.

More collections, such as hand sewn and boat shoes, soon followed, each receiving high acclaim from the American public. The next logical step was for the brilliant Timberland brand to go global, and 1990 saw the opening of its first European store on New Bond Street, London.

First off sorry for closing the last thread, it was getting a bit cluttered in there and I had been getting lazy with sculpting...
So this one is pretty much a continuation of the last thread with a few exceptions:
What's new
I'll be putting all sorts in here, personal pieces, miniatures from troll forged, the next AOW piece (nothing 100% sorted here, Felix has asked about a Lizardman BSB, so I'll see what I can come up with and more importantly if it's to the standard he is looking for).
What has changed?
So in this thread you can expect to see more futuristic pieces from me (I'm drifting to more sci-fi and 40K minis). This includes the sister of battle Seraphim that I've nearly finished, my second howling Banshee sculpt (see below) and the completion of the Pariah.
Revisting older sculpts
However I am using this thread of make some changes and even do revisits to old sculpts. I have already began to change my Vampiress as I was never happy with her pose and I am sculpting my second version of Lord Kroak from the Mark Gibbons artwork.
The batting order.....
At the moment this is the list of things you can expect.
The Vampiress changes
The sister of battle Serpahim finished
The Pariah finished
Starting work on the next Troll forged Ganger.
After that I'll be adding in bits and pieces, most likely work for the lizardman (tempted to try a mounted version too) and the new howling Banshee (which Eldargal has very kindly offered to help me with I found some of Jes' artwork for a helmetless Banshee so will be using that (I will however exaggerate the pose). You can also expect to see me attempt a Wych sculpt too.
Any questions, just ask.
And finally
Please, please, please, do not ask me to cast anything which is IP protected, you can land the board in serious trouble just by asking.

Information about cancer treatment, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, clinical trials, proton therapy, complementary medicine, and cutting edge technologies.
Ways for cancer patients and caregivers to cope with cancer, side effects, nutrition, general cancer support issues, grief/end of life issues, and shared survivor's experiences.

The Cancer Project is a nonprofit organization with a mission of educating the public about the benefits of a healthy diet for cancer prevention and survival. The Project publishes quite a few educational booklets, fact sheets, a quarterly newsletter and this video, and even conducts local healthy cooking classes. The video is meant to accompany the "Survivor's Handbook: Eating Right for Cancer Survival", a 145 page resource book that includes recipes, though this is sold separately.
The video (and booklet) present an introductory nutrition course, broken down into sections on various topics, such as low-fat foods, fiber, meat and dairy alternatives, and antioxidants. The Cancer Project promotes a vegan diet, which is one without meat, dairy, eggs or fish. While this diet is tremendously healthy, it may not be for everyone. Although I personally do not abide by such a diet, I can certainly take what the video has taught me and incorporate this into my diet on a lesser scale. Some folks may be intrigued by the idea of incorporating a vegan or vegetarian diet into their lifestyle, but not know where to begin or be unfamiliar with the foods in this diet. The video and handbook will guide the viewer through making this change as well as dispel common myths about a vegan diet.
These publications would make a nice addition to a cancer center resource library, allowing patients the benefit of the information without having to incur the cost. The video can be purchased in DVD or VHS format or downloaded from the Cancer Project website. This video is geared towards cancer prevention and improving survival after cancer, so it is good for anyone looking to reduce risk, not just cancer survivors.

Tweeting astronauts existed well before Canadian Chris Hadfield commanded the International Space Station, but his friendly and accessible demeanor seems to have set a new precedent for those in low-Earth orbit.
Although Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield is firmly back on Earth, that doesn't mean it's time to stop paying attention to the International Space Station.
Chris Hadfield was flung back to Earth from the International Space Station on May 13. So what's a week like on Earth since he returned? Well for the human guinea pig that Hadfield is, it's been a battery of tests and more tests.
Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield sent back hundreds of tweets and spectacular photos from his five-month mission on board the International Space Station, but he's not above picking favourites.
Now that astronaut Chris Hadfield is back on Earth he's remained active on Twitter, updating us about his rehabilitation and ability to use real showers again.
A meteor smashed into the moon causing an explosion so bright that it was visible from earth.

When we posted this picture on our Facebook page earlier this week, more than a handful of our fans were drooling at the mouth and praying for jet packs and the magical ability to freeze time all together. We know a week at a tropical island spa might be hard to pull off this summer (work, summer-school, family reunions, etc). But a local spa treatment inspired by a luxe vacation destination? That we can do.
We scoured our amazing spa deals and found the best local deals on transporting treatments. All you need is one day – or even a few hours – to feel like you're far, far away:
$99 buys you a full 90 minutes of coconut-scented pampering (yum!). Select either a Coconut Paradise massage or facial, then either a scrub or reflexology at @ease Spa – Hillsdale in Hillsdale, NJ. We dare you to still feel stressed after that!
You put the lime in the coconut…and then you head to this spa for a Coconut and Lime slimming body treatment – just $95 at The Green Spa & Wellness Center in Brooklyn, NY.
We had to do a double take when we saw this deal – just $65 for a 60-minute Salt Glow Scrub and Seaweed Wrap at Body Essentials II in South Lake Tahoe, CA!
The address may say Texas, but this spa's marine-inspired treatment package says Mediterranean Sea. The deal includes a 120-minute Seaweed Mud Body Wrap and Aromatherapy Swedish Massage at Spa Alexis Massage & Spa in Houston, TX for $120.
You know that glow you get after a week in the sun? A facial can do that. And the 60-minute Maui Anti-Aging Facial costs considerably less than a trip to the island that inspired it — $79 at A Touch of Clover Skin Care in San Diego, CA.
Spa treatments in Manhattan can be pricy – but for just $50 you can get a rubdown with mineral-rich Dead Sea Salts for a beach-ready bod at Ettia Holistic Day Spa in New York, NY
Working during the summer? Turn that frown upside down with a $90 50 Min Tropical Blues Body Scrub at Pure Blu Spa at the Newport Beach Marriott in Newport Beach, CA (Was $135)
Mmm… nothing hits the spot on a hot summer's day than some juicy watermelon – reap the hydrating benefits of this delish summer staple with a $50 55-Min Island Paradise Facial with Watermelon Mask at Diva Spa & Salon in Jersey City, NJ.

Gibraltar – more than banks and monkeys
Gibraltar is one of those places which you either hate or love. No room for indifference. I know plenty of people who hate the place. 'Dirty, noisy, too commercial' are some of the comments. I personally belong to the group of Gibraltar fans.
Over the years I have visited hundreds of times, mostly due to my job as an attorney in Marbella. Hence the banks. These times are now in the past and I visit for pleasure. What I leave out though are the monkeys. Everybody knows about the monkeys which live on the rock and have become a trademark of Gibraltar. Opinions still differ on how they came to be there in the first place, but the most convincing theory seems to be, that they were on board a ship which anchored in the bay. Finding the climate and food agreeable, they decided to stay after they escaped and to breed, and breed, and breed!!!
They may look cute – from a distance. Close up they are smelly, noisy, nosy and they bite. The opinion will change from 'cute' to 'nasty' quickly after they have snatched your purse and made off with it to an unreachable place between the rocks.
But, as the title of this post indicates, there is much more to Gibraltar than banks and monkeys and here are some of my reasons why I love the place:
Spanish and English are spoken simultaneously in Gibraltar and I mean this literally. 'Muchas thank you' is absolutely common. And totally correct Gibraltar speak. Which ever language comes to mind first you use, to be followed by the other. I happily join in. This way of talking feels cosmopolitan, sophisticated and relaxed at the same time. Very much in keeping with the entire atmosphere of Gibraltar.
When I first came to Gibraltar, the airport was even smaller and more cute than it is now. Modern times (and security) have caught up, but it's still a place which evokes feeling of flying pioneers. You walk across the tarmac to your plane and you climb gangways.
Even better is the runway. It ends just short of or in the sea, depending on the skill of the pilot. Quite a few have misjudged in the past. When coming to Gibraltar, I parked my car in La Linea, the neighboring town on the Spanish side. The I walked across the border and, to reach town, have to cross the runway. A flimsy barrier and a traffic light indicate when it's safe to cross. However, more often than not, bells start clanging, lights start flashing and the barrier starts to lower when you are halfway across and it always gives me a thrill to see who is faster: me or the approaching plane. As far as I know, there has never been an accident, but there is always a first time.
I bet you don't associate Gibraltar with glassblowers, yet there it is: The Gibraltar Crystal factors in th Grand Casemate near the clock tower. Fabulous works of art, goblets and vases are made in a quite small factory. What is more, you can watch the entire process really up close and buy the most beautiful things in the showroom. To see my favorite, a black and gold goblet, visit www.gibraltar-crystal.com.
Even watching the masters makes thirsty and you can enjoy a pint or two in the picturesque pub right next door.
St. Michael's Cave
Photograph by Gibnews Wikipedia common
The rock appears solid, but it is really quite hollow. Apart from man-made tunnels, there are over 150 caves of which St. Michael's is the most fascinating. Over 1 mill visitors a year think exactly the same. A cathedral like structure of stalagmites and stalactites form a natural auditorium. The many colors of the minerals are enhanced by skilful lighting. Acoustic is fabulous too, that why the main 'hall'is used for concerts and.. the Miss Gibraltar Beauty Pageant.
Photograph by Greenshed Wikipedia common
I need to revisit soon because last time I didn't have a digital camera and I want to take my own pictures. Ah yes, and a spit of shopping never comes amiss either.

- Monday, June 3, 1:51 PM iShares Barclays 1-3 Year Treasury Bond ETF (SHY) announces monthly distribution of $0.017. 30-day SEC yield of 0.10% (as of 5/30/2013). For shareholders of record June 05. Payable June 07. Ex-div date June 03. Comment! [Dividends]
- Saturday, May 18, 9:15 AM Leon Cooperman and partner Steve Einhorn keep it simple: Stocks (VTI) are cheap relative to interest rates and inflation. The guy who bought T-bills (SHY) has migrated to T-bonds (TLT), the guy who bought T-bonds has moved to investment grade corporates (LQD), the guy who bought IG is now in high-yield (HYG, JNK), and so on (glasses clink in the FOMC board room). Their largest position is Sprint Nextel (S) - as fans of Masayoshi Son and long-time owners of DISH, the duo like seeing two industry titans both wanting the same asset. New Citigroup (C) management should be able to double ROE over the next 2-3 years, and Transocean (RIG) sells for a significant discount to asset value. 4 Comments [Quick Ideas]
- Friday, May 17, 8:06 AM "Printing of money and the seeking of safe returns" have made cash (SHY) and bonds (TLT) terrible investments, says Ray Dalio (video). The same activity, on the other hand, is great for "other assets," i.e. stocks. "There will be a tightening ahead." 1 Comment
- Wednesday, May 1, 2:55 PM iShares Barclays 1-3 Year Treasury Bond ETF (SHY) announces monthly distribution of $0.016. 30-day SEC yield of 0.09% (as of 3/28/2013). For shareholders of record May 03. Payable May 07. Ex-div date May 01. Comment! [Dividends]
- Tuesday, April 2, 12:54 PM Active management - typically a loser with stocks - worked well in fixed income in 2012, according to SPIVA which shows 70% of active managers in intermediate government bond funds beat their bogey (AGG, BNG), with the average return more than double the benchmark. Comment!
- Monday, April 1, 5:05 PM iShares Barclays 1-3 Year Treasury Bond ETF (SHY) announces monthly distribution of $0.018. 30-day SEC yield of 0.12% (as of 3/28/2013). For shareholders of record Apr. 03. Payable Apr. 05. Ex-div date Apr. 01. Comment! [Dividends]
- Friday, March 8, 3:08 AM The Fed is considering abandoning its plan to eventually sell the trillions of dollars of bonds it's bought and just let them mature instead. The move would prevent the disruption of markets that might come with big sales, and it would prevent any losses if and when interest rates rise, not to mention any subsequent criticism from Capitol Hill. There might be some economic benefits too. 8 Comments [U.S. Economy]
- Tuesday, March 5, 10:28 AM "Cash in the developed world is a terrible asset," writes Bridgewater in its (300-page) year-end investor note. "We would be short cash of all the major currencies," in continues - hedge fund shorthand for borrowing to buy risky assets. Previous: Ray Dalio and his co-CIO have made no secret of their bullishness this year. 1 Comment
- Friday, March 1, 10:19 AM iShares 1-3 Year Treasury Bond ETF (SHY) announces monthly distribution of $0.018. 30-day SEC yield of 0.13%. For shareholders of record Mar. 05. Payable Mar. 07. Ex-div date Mar. 01. Comment! [Dividends]
- Thursday, February 21, 1:12 PM The long bond continues to climb, now up more than a full point since the FOMC minutes yesterday. When the Fed got hawkish in 1993 after a long period of ease, bond prices collapsed. Now they gain? It seems as good of a tell as any that the economy is not ready to handle tighter policy (see Hoisington). TLT +0.7%. 3 Comments [U.S. Economy]
- Tuesday, February 19, 2:30 PM The big story of the 2013 H2 might be the Fed slowing and then ending its QE purchases, says Deutsche's Joe LaVorgna. January FOMC minutes showed growing hawkishness, and since that meeting the February jobs report posted solid gains along with big upward revisions to previous months. 2 Comments [U.S. Economy]
- Friday, February 15, 10:00 AM "The benefits of our asset purchases may be diminishing ... they also may have some risks associated," says the Cleveland Fed's Sandra Pianalto (not a FOMC voter this year). She suggests the Fed could begin tapering asset purchases by year's end, but her prediction of 2.5% GDP growth doesn't seem to be enough to move the needle much on unemployment. Comment! [U.S. Economy, Breaking News]
- Friday, February 1, 3:34 PM Like Dan Fuss, UBS apparently believes the fixed-income rally has run its course. The company reportedly plans to inform many of its brokerage clients - most of whom believe they're sitting in conservatively structured bond portfolios - that they're being reclassified as "aggressive investors." This should make for some interesting conversations between wealth managers and clients. Comment! [Financials, U.S. Economy, Global & FX]
- Thursday, January 31, 9:10 AM Credit in the U.S. ($56T and counting) is a supernova star, says Bill Gross - its expansion produces less and less heat and ultimately causes the star to consume itself. In the 1980's, it took $4 of new credit to create another $1 of GDP; over the last decade it's taken $10, and since 2006, $20. The comparison ends there, says Gross, as inflation rather than implosion lies ahead. Shorten duration, buy TIPs, look offshore for positive real rates of return. 5 Comments [U.S. Economy]
- Wednesday, January 30, 3:08 PM Fixed-income is the most overbought in his 55-year career, says Dan Fuss, preparing to open a fund to U.K. investors (what a salesman). He's busy slashing duration along with exposure to emerging markets and junk bonds ("from a valuation point, ridiculous"). "For heaven's sakes, don't go out and borrow money to buy bonds right now." Comment!
- Friday, January 25, 7:08 AM More from Soros (previous): Bond investors might want to study the price action in 1994 if Soros is right in that interest rates are going to take a big leap once the economy gets moving - nothing profound there, but like 1994 it could sneak up and bite fixed income longs. Soros suggests it might already be happening and once the fog of the budget nonsense lifts, economic strength will be far clearer to see. 4 Comments [Global & FX, U.S. Economy]

Quarterly market overview profiling real estate conditions in major business markets
Cushman & Wakefield is committed to providing the highest quality of service to its business space clients through the continuous monitoring of office and industrial trends and practices. This edition of Industrial Space Across the World provides a detailed analysis of prime industrial property rental performance and occupancy costs across the globe in the twelve months to December 2010.
The recovery is here and is likely to gain momentum as 2011 progresses. The entire region will benefit from stronger growth in the US, but all the major countries in the America's will be in full-fledged economic expansion mode. Healthy employment growth will contribute to declining vacancy in most markets, on average, and lead to a turn up in asking rents in the next 12 to 18 months. We are already seeing this trend take place in some markets. Listen to the podcast

Where's The Love? 5 Instances Of Rappers And Fans Fighting On Stage
Last weekend, video footage surfaced online of Odd Future beating down a 17-year-old audience member who approached them on stage during a concert in San Antonio, TX. Overzealous attendees—drunk off of booze, drugs, or the pandemonium of a concert environment—regularly rush the stage or throw objects at the performers, and are quickly escorted out of the venue by security. But the California rap collective is the latest in a list of several hip-hop acts who have chosen to eschew security and take matters of unruly fans into their own hands.
Read on to see footage.
Kid Cudi two-pieces fan off stage—2009
Kid Cudi is known for being "emo," but that doesn't mean that he'll back down from a fight During a 2009 tour with Lady Gaga, a fan threw a wallet on stage and Cudi looked for the owner in the crowd before giving it back. When the wallet was thrown back at Cudi, the Cleveland singer/rapper leapt into the front row to land a few shots. After realizing he may have hit the wrong fan, he apologized.
The next year, another fan almost caught a similar case when he rushed on stage while Cudi performed "Pursuit of Happyness" in Ohio. Security pushed the culprit out of the way, but a bothered Cudi ventured into the stage to confront his assailant personally. Security broke them up and Cudi returned to the stage to finish performing.
Yelawolf fights guy on stage—2012
During a performance in Santa Ana, Calif., an audience member avoided security's initial pushback and ran at Shady Records signee Yelawolf, tackling him to the ground. Security separated the two, but not before the Alabama-bred emcee's lanky right arm guided a fist on the audience member's face.
Pitbull punches fan on stage—2009
Pitbull is known as a pop sensation these days, but before he rebranded himself, he was known for exposing the street side of Miami that he came from. At a 2009 concert in Aspen, Co., his street side emerged when a fan that he helped onstage threw money in his face. Pitbull, wearing a two-piece suit, landed a hard right hook before security took the fan out of reach. "I told that motherfucker not to do the shit no more," he insisted after he continued dancing and performing. "I'm a nice guy!"
Sean Price lands haymaker punch on fan—2011
Sean Price is the same emcee who told reporters that he had robbed fans after his shows, so it only makes sense that he'd respond aggressively to a presumed attacker. When a fan from the crowd ran from stage left during a Heltah Skeltah performance in Chile, Price landed a Balrog-style haymaker on his face. The fan stumbled and gave Price a confused look, motioning indignantly to the audience before members of Price's crew pushed him back into the crowd. Price apologized and left stage.
Akon throws fan offstage—2007
When a fan allegedly threw items at Akon during a performance in Fishkill, NY, the masterful chorus writer showed inklings of the man who was locked up for several years. He helped the fan get on stage, lifted him over his head like WWE star Mark Henry, and launched him into the crowd. The projectile factor of this clip—it almost looks like a stunt scene from a movie—really makes it stand out among other footage. The teenager who was thrown emerged safely, but the woman he landed on, Abby Rosa, was reportedly diagnosed with a concussion.

Up too late looking for a sister name for Daphne again... please help!
Hi everyone. I would sooo appreciate some help. It may be the pregnancy hormones but I am starting to get really upset that I have not found "the" name yet. I'm about 6 months pregnant so I still have a bit of time... but at this point in my last pregnancy I was 100% set on both my girl and boy name.
I'm expecting #2 in September. My DD is named Daphne Cecelia. For a boy we had Leo picked out for her and would be more than happy to use it for this one if it's a boy.
If it's a girl, I don't know!!! I need your help. Right now my short list is:
Calla, Cara, Celeste, Elsa, Elyse, Hazel, Iris, Isla, Mae, and Yvette
I don't love any of them I'd appreciate any suggestions you could throw my way! I'd like to stick with classic/normal-sounding names that for example, my grandmother would easily recognize. Thanks so much.

Windows Media Center Add-ons and Plugins – Page 1
Missed any installments of our Cutting the Cord Series? Catch up on them here:

- Cutting the Cord Part 2: Building your HTPC – The Hardware
- Cutting the Cord Part 3: Building your HTPC – OS Install and Tuning
- Cutting the Cord Part 4: Building your HTPC – Installing and Configuring Windows Media Center
- Cutting the Cord Part 5: Wrap up - Media Center Add-ons and Options
Now that we have our Windows Media Center up and running, we can investigate a few additional add-ons and plugins that can further improve upon the experience you can get from your Media Center. In addition to discussing some great add-ons, I'm going to discuss how well our HTPC build has done with our power efficiency goals, so without further ado let's jump right into it!
My Experience: The add-ons and plug-ins that I'm going to walk through are by no means all that's out there. There are tons of add-ons that will add anything from Local Weather to full overlays for your movie collection. One thing to keep in mind is that any add-on or plugin can completely bork up your Media Center. Always test the add-on on another box first, or even better, do a full image/backup of your Media Center before you try any new add-on or plugin. You do have a full image of your brand new Media Center build on another machine that you can re-image yourHTPC with right? (Check out Clonezilla or Acronis True Image if not…)
Windows Media Center Add-ons and Plugins
Windows Media Center is excellent right out of the box, but there are a few add-ons and plugins I like to add to our Media Center to give us some additional functionality and increased usability. By a wide margin, the one we use the most is Netflix.
Back when Netflix was a scrappy newcomer, trying to get subscribers, they were putting their client on every device and platform that would talk to them. They worked out a deal with Microsoft to have the Netflix client pre-installed right into Windows Media Center menu.
My Experience: The built in application was apparently a joint project between Microsoft and Netflix, which may seem great, but has actually turned out to be a quagmire of finger pointing. Since it was originally released, the application has not been updated since and both companies have washed their hands of it and point to the other as being responsible for the application. The UI badly needs a facelift, in particular with the way you navigate through titles that have multiple seasons. While all seasons of the title will show up as a single entry in your Instant Queue, there is no way to easily jump from season to season and the only way to navigate episodes is to pull up episode lists that starts at Season 1, Episode 1, every time you open up the episode list. While this may not seem like a big deal, if you watch a show with a lot of episodes (like Cheers with 11 Seasons and 275 episodes) you have to scroll past every single prior episode to get to the next one you want to watch. Clicking the down arrow on your remote over 200 times to get to the next episode you want to watch not only gets old real fast, but eats batteries like mad.
Episode list problems aside, we still use Netflix on a daily basis and it's relatively easy to setup. First, scroll up to the "Movies" line and select the Netflix tile.
You'll be greeted with a full Netflix splash screen. Put a check in the "I have read and understand the Terms of Service and Privacy Statement" checkbox which will then activate the "Install" button. Click on Install and off we go.
Read on to see more add-ons that you can add to your Media Center!
Netflix (Finally) Playable On Linux Using Patched Version of WINE
Subject: General Tech | November 17, 2012 - 05:53 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: wine, windows, ubuntu, silverlight, Netflix, linux, firefox
One of the major hurdles preventing me from switching to Linux completely (despite my love for Mint) has been Netflix support. While there is a Silverlight-equivalent called Moonlight for the Linux operating system, it does not support the necessary DRM aspects to facilitate Netflix Instant Streaming. Aside from installing VirtualBox and booting an instance of Windows (which basically defeats the purpose of switching), Linux users have not been able to stream Netflix shows.
Thanks to a Linux developer by the name of Erich Hoover, there is a ray of hope for Linux users that want to take advantage of the streaming side of their Netflix subscriptions. Using a patched version of WINE (Wine Is Not An Emulator), Firefox, and an older version of Microsoft Silverlight, he was able to get Netflix streaming to work without breaking the DRM. That's good news as it means that even though it is not officially supported, Netflix is not likely to actively break or fight it.
Netflix Instant Streaming running on Ubuntu 12.10 (32-bit).
Currently, it has been tested on the 32-bit version of Ubuntu 12.10, but other distros are likely to work as well. Users will need to compile WINE from source, apply five patches, and then install Firefox 14.0.1 and Silverlight 4. Right now, there is no GUI or pre-compiled version, and at least the first few steps require the use of the terminal. Thankfully, I Heart Ubuntu has put together a step-by-step guide outlining exactly what you need to type into the terminal to get Netflix streaming up and running. The site notes that the WINE patching process could take a good chunk of time if you are on an older computer. Further, Silverlight 5 does not work, so using the older version is necessary.
This is great news for the Linux community, and along with the Steam for Linux beta things are definitely looking up and moving in a positive direction for the open source operating system. Obviously, this is far from native support, but it is a huge improvement over previous workarounds. A PPA is also reportedly in the works to make the installation of the patched WINE version even easier for those not comfortable with the terminal. Until then, check out the I Heart Ubuntu guide for the full setup details.
The developer asks that you donate to the WINE Development Fund if you find his Netflix support patches useful.

Netflix Announces New Prices For Streaming and DVD plans
Subject: General Tech | July 12, 2011 - 08:05 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: Netflix, streaming, ip
Today, Netflix announced significant changes to the movie rental service's pricing structure in addition to a new DVD only plan. Representing their lowest price ver for unlimited DVD's they have announced a new $7.99 a month plan for 1 DVD out at a time and $11.99 per month for 2 DVDs at a time. Netflix is further changing up the way DVD plus streaming plans work. Specifically, they are changing their plans into separate DVD only and streaming only plans. Customers would then further be able to add a streaming plan on top of the DVD plan to their account.
The unlimited streaming only plan will be priced at $7.99 a month while the unlimited DVD only plan will also be priced at $7.99 a month. Thus, the price of the lowest cost DVD and streaming monthly price will be $15 USD. The new prices are effective immediately for any new members while existing members will be subject to the price increases starting September 1, 2011.
Netflix claims that they have changed the prices in response to the realization that DVDs still have a long life and the previous model of $2 add on to the streaming plan for 1 DVD out at a time was not making them enough money cost effective. On one hand, customers are up in arms regarding the price increase for the same service they have been paying to for years, and on the other hand the price increase may allow Netflix to update its streaming catalog more frequently with new content. Regardless of the semantics, it is certainly a bold move by the company and it will be interesting to see how its customers react.
What are your thoughts on the pricing changes?
Netflix Instant Streaming Now Available For Select Android Phones
Subject: General Tech, Mobile | May 13, 2011 - 12:05 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: Netflix, Internet, Android
It has been a long time coming; however, Netflix Instant Streaming is finally coming to a select number of Android powered smart phones. Engadget has the scoop, stating that
"Netflix explains that while the app is currently limited to phones with 'requisite playback support,' it anticipates that many of the 'technical challenges will be resolved in the coming months,'and that it will be able to 'provide a Netflix application that will work on a large majority of Android phones.'"
The following phones will be able to use the streaming feature of the Netflix application: HTC Incredible, Nexus One, Evo 4G, G2, and Samsung Nexus S.
While Nitdroid users and owners of older Android phones are currently out of luck, this move by Netflix is a good sign that Netflix on the open source operating system is possible, and can work well.
If you own one of the supported Android phones, you can download the application from the Android Market today!
Netflix Employee Terminated For Accessing Customers' Credit Card Information
Subject: Editorial, General Tech | May 5, 2011 - 11:31 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: Netflix, Customer Data, Corporate theft
It seems as though this Spring season is just a bad time for customers' personally identifiable information. Especially in the wake of the Sony PSN and SOE attack fiasco, to have yet another large corporation found to be involved in compromised customer data is rather disheartening for customers who trust companies with their private information.
Update: LastPass has also reported a data breach, resulting in customers' emails being compromised. Luckily; however, users' passwords were salted and hashed so users accounts on other sites should not be compromised in contrast to the Sony case where the passwords were compromised.
Fortunately, in the case of Netlfix, they have determined who the responsible party was and have moved swiftly to address the issue. Maximum tech reports that an un-named call center employee for Netlfix was terminated for accessing customers' information without permission. On April 4, 2011 Netflix discovered that one of their call center employees had been accessing confidential information of a number of customers that he had spoken with over the phone. He was found to have accessed the name and credit card information of two customers in New Hampshire.
According to the article, Netflix is now in the process of notifying the two customers in question.
The amount of private data that customers entrust will be kept private by the companies that they do business with everyday is rather daunting. When large corporations like Sony and Netflix run into problems with keeping information secure, one has to wonder how much compromised information goes under the radar of the majority of people. While there is not much one can do to stop others accessing their data without permission once information has been lost in a data breach or as a result of corporate theft, people do have control over what information is given to compainies to begin with.
It may seem rather paradoxical for me to quote Sony of all people; however, they have definitely seen the consequenses and thus can assuredly recommend that customers stay vigilant and protect themselves from fraud. Using one time credit card numbers (if your bank/card provider offers this) or reloadable visa debit cards with just enough money on them fro the desired transactions can help to protect you from data breaches such as this. Further, only provide the minimum amount of information necessary for a transaction, especially if it's to a company that you're unsure about. While various forms of fraud protection can help, preventing yourself from ever needing to use fraud protection in the first place is the best thing you can do for yourself and your private data. "Remain vigilant."

Neil, I tried your map, it's a good first effort. The room with the excursion funnels is neat, a very simple and effective puzzle, the part with the lasers and the aerial faith plates is a bloody death trap, no fun at all.
Also, the aerial faith plate segment lacks precision, there's too much manoeuvring while in the air required.
I tried doing an alternative solution without using the blue gel, but staying alive with those red lasers was literally murder.
Still, good effort, thumbs up!

The safari shirt has been in your wardrobe for a while, I know, but I just noticed that the shoulder straps are set quite far forward, well off the top of the shoulder. Is that generally the case with this type of shirt, or was this a custom detail? And in either case, what's the rationale?

Actually you need to go to Belgium for chocolate.Yalahii.
Or france. Or Italy.There are great chocolatiers all over the place ;)Mmmm. Chockylate....-X
Belgium is the place, I've researched this extensively, though truly it is a matter of taste. Lily would not agree, she found a box of Belgian chocolates and tried every single one; in her mouth, spat on her front or the floor/sofa. I returned to total carnage, and a little voice saying "don't like them".This blog is getting a bit full.
I'd noticed that.New topic, Tad? Say the word.

Miiru wrote:Isn't that a minor heresy?
She is a minor at 3, which would explain the dislike of the liqueur centres, but the irresistable urge to try the next one because it's chocolate. Other than wasting a pound box of chocs brought back from Belgium specifically for us, the mess she was in was quite funny, and it only took an hour to clean the floor and sofa.*creak*
Gah,... Wasted... chockylate....-X
I did eat quite a lot of them, she'd only bitten them and I'm quite used to eating pre-masticated food from my daughter.
Hell. I would have still eaten them if you posted them to me :PYea, okay. I wouldn't have but I must have one-up syndrome...-X
After I'd eaten them?
*boom-tish*Hey, this isn't chocolate!-X
And yet, you'd keep trying them, spitting them up on the couch and floor. Stuart would come in, and you'd say "I don't like 'em."
Ah, the circle is complete.
*sneaks in a sheep at the end of the line*
Belatedly... no, not Miiru's shed, whatever its proper name.I was thinking the Watershed Thread, however, might not be inappropriate. *g*

I usually find it quite difficult to sneak in a sheep, they're not very roomy and tend to notice however carefully you tread.*groan* (that's the walls not the audience of another poor pun)

Give The Beggar A Chance
CD (Item 583992) Tummy Touch/Soundway (UK), Early 70s — Condition: New Copy
Massive music from Monomono – and a set of Afro Funk put together with a wonderful criss-crossing of sounds! The style here isn't just the familiar grooves you might expect – and instead, there's almost a post-colonial vibe going on – an ear towards London, and another towards Jamaica – bringing in basslines that give some tracks a great dubby energy, and which almost puts the record in the same territory as the best by Cymande! There's a blend of darkness and light on many tracks – some moody undercurrents that really draw us in, then redemptive vocal passages, often in English, which really tie the whole thing together beautifully. Monomono could have been huge at the time – and they did reach out pretty far with their few recordings – but it almost feels like their music has been waiting for the 21st Century to finally get the appreciation its due! Titles include "Find Out", "Lida Lou", "Kenimania", "Give The Beggar A Chance", "Ema Kowa Lasa Ile Wa", and "The World Might Fall Over". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |
