My name is Madison. I am 10 yrs old .i love to sing in my free time ive been in my school talent shows and all my friends ask me "How do you do that with your voice?" im kind of shy around new people but let it all out with my friends . i believe i should be on the voice because im am confident and believe i could win!
Hello my name is Justin,
Singing is something I've always dreamt of. I always felt music really heals the heart. I never really was the type to sing in public because I'm kind of shy, and I know that sounds crazy considering the fact that I'm 19.
Half of you are probably saying "if he's shy than why would he even audition?", but the truth is I'm not only doing it for myself, I'm also doing it for my mother and my sisters'(she has Down syndrome). We don't really have much, we actually live a very frugal lifestyle, and this winter we didn't even have the heat on in our home and my mom actually got frostbite on the knuckles of her fingers.
When I saw this I broke down in tears because she doesn't even have health insurance and what would happen if her hands were to get infected. I don't really care to win the competition just competing would help me in a lot of ways, I believe it would at least help me overcome my shyness as well start me off to a good start. I'm really in need of this desperate help, I have no high school diploma nor GED but I'm working towards it.
Please select me to audition, at least give me the experience, I'm begging you all. -
I can sing in more than one language….I just really love to sing….
I am a singer-naturally and professionally. My song is available to those who simply want to hear….My talent is an inherited blessing that I am happy to share-music is healing and I am humbled that I have this gift and am offering "My Voice" for selection on "The Voice".
I'm sorry I forgot to mention me and my friends are only ten and eleven but still don't doubt us
me and my friends really want a chance to be discovered we already started a talent program at school and we are open to all opportunities we can get we listen to all direction we can pick up something quickly just please give us a chance
Hi my name is kaliyah and I just want a chance to be something in my life and be able to use my voice…..
I didn't always know singing was my gift…. I learned when I joined choir after that it's all I've wanted. I was in a few choirs and talent shows.. Singing isn't just something I like to do it's part of who I am… I would never forgive myself if I didn't try to live my dream
Pro former background singer for local Detroit artist K'Jon. Singer with a big voice can imitate just any singer. My voice is very versatile. Sometimes I surprise myself. The only thing I've ever wanted to do is sing. The one true talent I've always nurtured.
My names Sirena and I feel that I should be picked to be on this show! I am young, almost 13. And it really would mean so much to me especially since singing is a true passion of mine. I'm a soprano with great pitch, and I truly think singing is the one hobby of mine that I need to come through with but I'm just never sure what to do here in Michigan… Please pick me! I've got what it takes and I'm ready to SING!!!
Hi my name is Martin and music is my life, i love to compete when it comes to singing. i always go to karaoke contest and normally place in the top 5, except for lately i tied for second. my expeirence with singing has always been better when there is a large crowd, it's the energy the fans give off is what brings the best out in me. i would greatly appreicate the chance and consideration on becoming the next VOICE!! thank you for your time.

in detroit, mi the motor city duhh… -
my dad Trever Sternberg, age 34, sings in the car every day, and even in the shower. he loves to record his voice singing to songs and he enjoys doing karaoke all the time at restaurants. he is the best singer i know and i could listen to him every day if i wanted to. i feel like he really should audition for The Voice,and see how good he is compared to others. to me, he sounds like another version of Justin Timberlake, and i hope he can make it to the voice someday. THANKS
My name is Alexander and I am from White Lake, MI, but am currently living in Mount Pleasant as a student at Central Michigan University. I have no formal training, but people tell me I'm good, but my love for singing is what brings me here. I try to blend different styles together so I would consider myself unconventional. The Voice needs to come to Detroit!
My name is Leilani Choate, I'm 16, and singing is my life and passion. I have been singing ever since I could talk. And having been adopted singing is the only thing I have ever felt was truly mine. All I have ever wanted was to make a difference in this world. Not only through my music but through my actions as well. If you give me a chance I promise to work extremely hard and I will not let you down.
I have studied some music and college but had to stop because I ran out of money. I am currently finishing a degree online from home in Detroit. I have taken some voice but have never really put my voice up against anyone else. I think it would be fun to see how my voice would fair. I would not expect to win, but would appreciate the comments I got.
Hello my name is Tom Stone, and i love your show first of all. Second, im currently trying to make the addition in Chicago, and its not looking promising. I Know i have what it takes, but still not knowing about my genre and what i would choose. Honestly there is so much awesome music out there, its hard to choose. But i can promise, that i would be able to provide for your standards. Trust me, im only 22 years old and i know to much as it is. Thanks again.
Tom Stone

I was born to bless others, with what God has giving me, has came many trials.I have waited all my life for an opportunity like this, many people who follow me always ask when are you going on the Voice that's the show for you?? I had the opportunity to open for Yolanda Adams,Record a single and work with super Grammy award winner producer Michael J Powell since then, the label i was with folded becuase the CEO passed away,and i haven't did much since but would like to be apart of yet maybe another great opportunity to be a blessing to the world.
I sung when I was very young until I was in my twenties
I stoped singing in my late twenties to raise my son
he's all grown up now ,and I would love to see how far
I could go with this voice at 55 years old. My background
is in theatre and I now sing in my church choir but I hope
I can go further. -

It would be an honor if you would give me a chance. Thank you.

I would love a chance to sing something to the judges and to the world, God has blessed me with this talent, and I do not want to waist it.

I would love to be on the voice. I want to become a singer and I believe you'll can make it happen. I think this little step being on the voice will take me to a big step!
I would rather sing than breathe!!! I have sung all my life and it is one of my greatest psssions; second only to my love of teaching high school students about faith. I sang the National Anthem for several years in the 90′s for the Cleveland Indians. The girl who won the contest got to sing at one game as the prize. A PR person approached me about singing when I got second place b/c it was based on an 'applause-o-meter'… and I brought one friend. (It was prom night so no kids!) The winner brought the whole city! One guy approached me and said "you got robbed!" The irony is that I got 5 seasons and the winner got one game!! Not a bad trade off! LOL
I meant 'passions'LOL
I got a voice!
Hi my name is Darrick. I have a musical gift that I was born with and a God given talent! This singing gift that I have wasn't something that I learned to do, it has been in me all my life! I can sing and play the keyboard. I have the energy, the talent and the desire to take my singing where it needs to be. I would love to have my chance to appear on the voice to let the world hear my voice and to share my talent. I love to sing and its time for me to move in my calling. So far I have been singing in church but now I need to take it to the next level and I'm more than ready…it has been a long time coming.
I feel that I deserve a chance to be on the voice because well I had a pretty rough childhood, and id love to prove to not only myself but anyone in my family who still cares about me, I was abused as a kid, and always bullied, and being put down by my own family and people around me. I never got support from anyone. And this opportunity in the voice would make me the happiest girl in the world. I have always loved to sing. I have been singing since age 10. i pray and hope you guys can give me a chance to show who i am and prove to myself and everyone else that i can do this! Thank you for your time your taking to read this, and have a great day!
I've always loved to sing ever since i was young and my parents always told me never to give up on my dream and I'm here hoping that someone will give me the chance to prove to everyone that i can do it. consider me for the voice auditions and i will prove that i do belong and will go all the way!
I'm Jamie. I'm from northern michigan and I sing and play my own songs on guitar. Music is the only thing in my life that's ever made me feel this passionate. I've played locally in my small town and a lot of people know who I am from my voice. I've done benefit concerts and small festivals and I could only dream of having this opportunity. Please consider me, you won't regret it.
been waiting on something like this my whole life this could change my life
this is an amazing opportunity. i am so excited that something like this is coming to detroit…. We still have talent here, there are still some dianna rosses, smokey robinsons, and stevie wonders walking around the city. all we need is a chance and a mic.. not only do i have a voice, i am a songstress. and music is the only thinh that makes my day go by faster, can change my mood, music is really something special to me. ive auditioned for american idol 2 times, and both times, i made it to the second round of auditions, but i honestly think that the voice is for me because i can be coached and critiqued by artist who really matter, in the music world, i would make detroit so proud. just watch me..
I have traveled all over the U.S to different american idol auditions..

My name is Rosemary Harris from Detroit, MI. Iv been singing in my church choir since I was a child. Growing up I was extremely bashful and nervous about my singing. Now that i am older and have truly discovered who I am, I am ready to express my passion for singing. My confidence has grown over the years and I feel that it is time to use the gift that God has blessed me with. The Voice would be a awesome opportunity for me share my gift with the world.
basically, I've come through so many trials and I want a better life for myself and family. Singing is my life music is my afterlife….period. I'm unlike any other singer I have incredible range vocally as a boy vocalist I sing very high its really impressive.
Hey I'm Morgan I've been singing since I was 3, I'm 14 now and still LOVE to sing its my passion I can't go a single day without listening to music, singing or playing guitar. Music speaks to me it just gives me a feeling that nothing else does. I have recorded multiple songs some I've written and some songs by other people. I can memorize a song the first time I hear it my parents say if I learned math as fast as I learned songs id be a genius (sp?) i sing mostly pop but I'm good at rap and country too!
My name is Samantha Diane Walters and I am 20 years old. Singing has been my passion for as long as I can remember. It has been my dream to show people what I can do since I was 5 years old. I have preformed in front of crowds and my church and my school. I was chosen out of my entire graduating class to sing at the second graduation ceremony. Music is my life. I not only sing the lyrics, I also feel them as well. All of my life I have been shot down and told that I could never make it in the music industry because of my size, but that never stopped me from singing. The pain made me work harder and longer to prefect my voice so that one day I could show all of the people that knocked me down, that I do have what it takes. Please choose me. This opportunity would mean the world to my family and I. God has shown me the path he has chosen for me, and it is music.
I'm a soulful singing with a strong great voice I love to please the crowd put a smile on your face some little tears to that's a dream of mine mine one that I want to bring to life
My name is Jim . I was born in Mt.Clemens Michigan 1963. I broke my back in a car accident in 1982 on 15 mile and harper. I had to learn how to walk again. I did. first I swam at the ymca for a year to rehabilitate. then I traveled to Europe, Asia, and hitch hiked around australia and New zealand, I lived in Europe for 8 years and now I live in Australia its been 15 years . I dont have TV. and havent had one for 5 years, The Voice in Australia already has started and I missed out. so I was wondering when your going to have it in Detroit. Ive been singing in some pubs in Australia and still do. I also play the Harmonica from the age of 11. I love the Blues, jass and funk . I hope for a chance to show you what I can do.
Since at a very young age I have been singing my heart out. I love singing I can honestly say that I feel like it takes away any sort of pain I feel inside.
I work 45 hours, and go to wayne state university for criminal justice. I still make time for my family, and I try to make time for my friends. I'm very humble and too too nice I've been told. Its hard to meet nice caring people. I do charity work every Saturday and I don't miss a Sunday mass.
I love singing and dancing. I have taken ballet, modern dance, and jazz. I have a lot of talent that I would love to show you all. I have been told that I need to get out of Michigan, but the only thing that stops me from leaving is my family…I love them so much that it would hurt me so bad to just leave them.
Please give me the chance to show you what I'm capable of. I'm not doing this for the money, because money comes and goes. I'm writing this so you can see how much this means to me. Singing means so much to me. I have been writing songs, and novels since I was in middle school, and I have over 100 jounrals. I'd actually sign a contact stating I don't even want a penny.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this email…It means a lot. Have a BLESS day!.
My name is Angel from Adrian, Michigan. Singing has always been in my life when everything looked bad. I sing for comfort when I'm sad or hurting. This past year I've had some major health problems, and singing got me through my week stay at the hospital. The feeling I have when I sing is indescribable, it's like time stops and the only thing that matters is that song at that time. Singing has been apart of my life from the time I learned to walk. Through highschool I've performed in musicals and the rush I get from the second I step onto stage to when I walk off is incredible. This oppurtunity means everything to me because all my life when people asked me what I wanted to be, I told them a singer. Everyone said the chances of someone from Adrian making it big is low and I should have a backup plan. I'd like to prove everyone wrong, and fulfill my dream. I know whatever I do, it'll be with music. At least consider me for The Voice, you won't be dissapointed ( :
Hi my name is Sidney, I am from Fenton, MI and I am 24 years old. I have been singing since I can remember and people always say to me,they can tell if I am happy if I am singing. It is my passion as well as writing lyrics. I have sung at church, on praise teams, and I have won various Karaoke contests. Please give me an opportunity to improve my gift and showcase my skills. Thank you!
I have seen my ups and downs in my lifetime so far and most have brought me down…singing is my life and my inspiration. I had a point where I gave up because american idol and americas got talent made people like us look like a joke because most of the people they let through were jokes for entertainment purposes. Singing is my life. I am a mother of an 11 year old boy and a state licensed foster parent. I am very happily married and a step mom of 6 on my husbands behalf. All I want is time for myself now and to reach my dream. I have tought my son to follow his dreams so if I give up…then what kind of example would that make me.????. I have had many medical battles which have made me nothing but stronger, so I will be damned if Im gonna give up now. I am going to make my family proud and prove to my baby boy that dreams really do come true. Please just give me a chance to prove to you that I can really sing…and I will definatly make you turn your chair around. I have opened for Lee bryce and Little Texas..now give me a chance to open for you…..
Our group is called Lady Swagg. We sing,dance,rap,and more. Our group members are Aqua,Ciara,Rockwell,and me Ladi. Our passion and desire is to sing and dance but we are only Middle School Girls
well our name is insane beauty we have the whole package. we have the perfect personality,we can sing,dance,and rap. we are not like other we have the most amazing voice. my name is barbie, im intelligent, creative, and im very silly but calm.i love to harmonize when ever i can with whoever. my best friend is victoria she is everything and more. she is quiet and sweet. but when our voices are together our voice are a godly gift. for whom ever signs us haves to know how to show us off . with every show we do and we love to be on stage so please give us a chance to show the world what we can do!
I have the voice to shake your soul. The kind of voice that makes your body shiver with warmth. This show will not be the same once Tonya Isaac hits the stage. I can't wait to share the love I have for music. I've been singing since I was 7 yrs old, but my first talent show was in the 4th grade. I sung the mess out of Karyn White "superwoman". Can You say STANDING OVATIONS Toledo,Ohio We're on the map
Because i have the potential and confidence To audition and Pray that i make it… i have been singing since i was 5 years of age. Growing up in Detroit you dont have many oppertunities that come by for somebody to be talented. Its hard being a teenager here having to take care of your self so im hoping my Voice will take me over the top and bring me into the success i worked hard for. I pray this will help me see it through…
I want my voice to be heard because singing is not just a plan to get rich it's an addiction when I'm happy I sing when I'm sad mad depressed or how ever I feel I just sing to express my self I really want to do something in life befor I leave this world and basically singing is what's keeping me alive and when I want something I go for it
Music is my passion I've been singing since i was very small and writing my own songs as well i love singin its my being i am a worshiper i love to Worship but i will do r&b as long as its tasteful. Really would love to get myself out there and see what happens where ever god wants to take me i will go.
Music is my passion. Writing, playing, especially singing. I try to open up my horizons n sing everything from "etta james, at last" to "Lynard Skynard, simple man". MY 5 year old son saw the show n asked me to try to get on. I hope you concider me, so i can at least have a shot at makin my dreams come true.
The only reason I am wanting to audition is because numerous people say I sing very well. I would love to be given a chance to try my luck.
My name is Clinisha and I love to sing. Singing is my life. I enjoy writing songs. I express myself through my music. I fell in love with singing when I was four and the love grows throughout the years. I have a very unique and powerful voice. And I believe that God gave me this talent for a specific reason. I think that reason was so that I could share my talent with the world.
I have always loved singing. It is my life. I am a college student but I would much rather be a singer and performer, it is my dream to be on stage doing what I love and showing the world who I really am. I do not have a favorite kind of music, I have experience singing any kind of music, from opera to modern pop.
Singing defines who I am and fills my life with passion. I love sharing this with others and would give 100% to any singing opportunity I am given. If you choose me, you will not be dissapointed.
Im Alexis and I have been singing since I could talk, I love it, my parents were singers and so am I! I have performed in front of large crowds at school, on stage at the county fair and in our local theater. Ive got what it takes to show the world my voice!!!
I can sing, I have performed live I enjoy sharing my gift of voice with others. I have written my own songs and I feel I can be an asset to the music community. Please pick me
My name is DeAndre and I am from Detroit, Michigan. I have a calling on my life, and music has been calling me personally for the past 6 years… I have the talent, energy, personality, intelligence and creativeness. However the only thing left to prove that I have THE VOICE… Consider me, and you ll see…. its the GOD IN ME!!

Ralph Lauren Signs with Sferra
Home Textiles Today Staff -- Home & Textiles Today, 12/11/2010 3:30:57 AM
NEW YORK - Answering half of one of the biggest questions floating around the home textiles industry, Ralph Lauren Home announced last night that it has signed up Sferra Bros. Ltd. to produce bed and bath linens for the upstairs and hospitality markets.
The agreement does not include Lauren Ralph Lauren bed and bath products, which represent the bulk of the company's home textiles business and are currently licensed to WestPoint Home.
This new licensing agreement with Sferra takes Ralph Lauren into several additional channels of distribution, including hotel, resort and spa. The line will also be available to the company's own home stores, specialty stores, high-end department stores and e-commerce, according to the announcement. For this channel, the Sferra license also includes table linens.
In the mid 1990s, Ralph Lauren introduced a two-tier merchandising structure which focused most of its attention - and business - on the Lauren brand, which became the workhorse for the department store channel. Ralph Lauren branded textiles were essentially sold only in the company's own stores, which have limited home assortments. So, this license represents an expansion of the company's efforts in soft home.
For Sferra, the arrangement is a coup for a company that has been probably the most consistently successful supplier to the high-end trade recently. Sferra, founded 120 years ago, has expanded under Paul Hooker, its president and principle, over the past years, signing such licenses as Kelly Wearstler while developing its own 1891 brand.
"The opportunity to work with such a world renowned leader of fashion and exceptional taste is a natural for Sferra," said Hooker in announcing the deal.
"We are thrilled to partner with Sferra," said Frank Guzzetta, president of Ralph Lauren Home, "a world class company that has a genuine understanding of our brand and the luxury market."
Added Hooker, "Their customer is our customer."
We would love your feedback!

excellent after sales service

Some 5 years ago I bought a CISS for my Canon IP4500 from cityinkexpress Ltd.On Last Saturday evening, while printing a photo, the magenta ceased working. The ink was not flowing from the magenta main tank and it was noticed that this was also occurring on the Black inks. This was possibly caused by leaks from the air valve or the silicon seal at the cartridges.
A mail was sent to cityinkexpress Ltd on Sunday asking if any spares were available. A reply was received at 20:10 on Sunday evening (!) asking for my address.
This morning (Tuesday)a package was received containing 5 air valves, 5 tank bungs and 3 silicon inserts - all FOC.
As after sales service for a not really high value sale, made some years ago, I'm really rather impressed.

It is tourism that is a little outside the norm. For example, most tourists don't go on a "ghost hunting" vacation and don't go to the sadder places that have historical interest. Those would be examples of alternative tourism. Read more about it here.

MEMPHIS Commissioners in Shelby County have approved a companion-animal ordinance that defines a minimum level of care owners are required to maintain for their pets
The Commercial Appeal reports (http://bit.ly/M0u5fs) that the ordinance, sponsored by Commissioner Steve Mulroy, requires that a shelter for a dog must have a roof, four sides, a floor and should be big enough for the animal to freely turn around, sit, stand or lie down.
The ordinance also defines how long a tie-out must be and how the animal should be attached to that tie-out.
An owner will be cited for instances of neglect or abuse. For example, failing to feed and water two dogs for two days results in four fines for each animal at $50 a fine, for a total of $400.
"It's got some teeth," Mulroy said of the ordinance.
Mulroy says that before the ordinance, the county did not require pet owners to feed a pet and change its water once a day, or provide some form of shelter.
"It provides officers for the first time with the authority to write people up for not taking care of their animals," Mulroy said of the new measure. "(Officers) don't have to wait until it rises to the level of a felony."
Tony Butler, the county health department's lead rabies control officer, said the ordinance will make the difference between watching an animal situation progress to the point that a sheriff's deputy must be called in to arrest the owner for felony cruelty and alerting the owner before it reaches that level.
"Sometimes people really love their dogs, they're just not being conscientious of their needs and they might not know the laws," Butler said.
Handing out a citation gives the owners a chance to fix the problem, Butler said.
In 2012, residents opposing the ordinance argued that it would interfere with their rights as pet owners. Animal rights advocates see the new ordinance as a progressive move.
Cindy Sanders, co-founder of Community Action for Animals and a former member of the Memphis Animal Services advisory board, said, ""This allows people to be taught. It allows for that intervening level of law enforcement that really is a help."

Waveguide analysis of organic light-emitting diodes fabricated on surfaces with wavelength-scale periodic gratings
Applied Optics, Vol. 44, Issue 16, pp. 3224-3237 (2005)
Acrobat PDF (255 KB)
Numerical techniques for the analysis of multilayer waveguide structures were used to study the modes that exist in organic light-emitting diode (OLED) devices. The analysis revealed that waveguide modes of the OLED structure could be grouped, according to the behavior of modal-field profiles in the air cover and the glass substrate, into one of four different "families": (i) bound mode, (ii) semibound modes, (iii) leaky modes, and (iv) nonphysical modes. Four different OLED samples were fabricated on glass substrates on which photoresist gratings had been previously formed. The theory was used to compute the angles at which light from these devices should exit into the air. Theory and data agreed well for the semibound modes for all samples; however, they did not agree so well for the leaky modes. Further investigation revealed that better agreement between theory and data could be obtained with these modes being analyzed as Fabry-Perot cavity modes. The theoretical relation between leaky waveguide modes and Fabry-Perot cavity modes is discussed.

- At first glance, it might appear as if the Fabry-Perot modes should be classified as nonphysical since these modes assume that A_N not = 0. However, the Fabry-Perot cavity represents a driven oscillator, and as such, it is fundamentally different from a waveguide. In the context of the current analysis, Fabry-Perot modes can be regarded as resonance responses of an oscillator; that is, the natural oscillations established in the absence of a driving term.

Great tour, great tour guide! The only thing I would change would be the place that we stopped for lunch - the food was not that great, especially for the prices charged.
Dominik N
The best part of the trip! City with a lot of commerce are cool but it is the natural world that is immensely beautiful.
Robin D
A must to do!!! The scenery was breathtaking. I will never forget it. Please don't pass this tour up!
Elizabeth D
Nice and informative. Everything went off without a hitch.
Elizabeth C
The best tour we went on. We visited many beautiful photo stop sites. Our guide was funny, informative, friendly, and helpful.
Very good trip to Kerry. It was a long day but well worth it. The staff at the tour company was very good and looked after everyone really well. The beautiful scenery and very informative driver combined to make this a great day out.
Diego miguel A
This was a nice tour. It was worthwhile.
Rainy that day so visibility was limited. A portion of the road around the ring was closed so we were unable to see the entire ring.
THE gentlemen on the train were wonderful. The bus driver full of information and very nice. The drive was beautiful but it would have been nice to have a little time in the places we stopped. I realize it is difficult because we travel so many miles but it felt a little rushed. Was disappointed we could not get food on train.
This was a beautiful trip, although we were told to make our own way back by train without a guide or directions...
Dennis was a great tour guide and driver. We had a wonderful time. Georgeous country.
It was a great day and we lucked out having beautiful weather! The bus driver didn't give us much information. the lunch stop was not great. Not enough restaurants open and the ones that were open had poor service. We almost didn't have enough time to order and eat. Stopping to see the sheep dogs was awesome! The scenery was incredible. The train was very nice!
I knew going in that there would be scenic views that we would pass right by, and we did. I knew from our other day trip that taking the driver's recommendation for lunch would mean a long line. We went to the Bay View Bar instead, and were literally the only ones in there. It was perfect. Overall, this was a good trip.
The Ring of Kerry is an absolutely beautiful place! We really enjoyed all the stops along the way, especially the sheep herding demonstration. However, the town that we had lunch didn't have many options, so make sure you bring a snack with you. Definitely worth taking this tour!
Lee M
A great guide with a good sense of humor. Although the weather was uncooperative, he still stopped at all the best viewing locations to give us a chance to see what we could. Very helpful in getting us back to the station in plenty of time to catch our return train. We were well looked-after.

COMMENTARY | Is there anyone left on Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.'s hype train? If so, please do yourself a favor and climb off at the next stop. After his uninspired performance against Bryan Vera that resulted in what should be seen as a gift decision thanks to some questionable judging, Chavez Jr. continues to prove that all he really has is his name and nothing else.
Despite reports that his fight with Vera attracted just under 1.5 million viewers, the fact that he's continued to act as a prima donna in and out of the ring suggests that he is more interested in coasting off of his father's name rather than putting the work in to reach his potential. But, as of right now, as long as he benefits from giving 50%, chances are that he won't feel the need to give it his all.
Inside of the ring it didn't appear that he took Vera seriously. Let's be honest, this is a fight that Chavez Jr. should have handily won. Instead, he only threw one punch at a time, often waited on Vera and tasted more leather than he should have. Meanwhile, as Vera continued to land combinations, Chavez thought it would be better that he complain to the referee about headbutts and low blows rather than fight. He allowed Vera to throw twice as many punches and never appeared to actually want to finish the fight despite his suggestion that he fractured his hand.
Nevertheless, Vera isn't in the same league when it comes to talent but he has a far more heart than Chavez Jr. has put on display in recent fights. Vera fought as if his career depended on it. Chavez fought just to keep the checks rolling in.
And if the performance inside of the ring wasn't evidence that Chavez Jr. doesn't take this sport seriously, let's look at what happened outside of the ring.
No, it's not just the fact that he was suspended for nine months because he wanted to smoke marijuana. Nor is it because of how he often shrugged off training for reasons unbeknownst to us. In this fight, he wouldn't even take making weight seriously. Originally, the fight was supposed to be in the low 160s. But by the time the contract was signed, the fight was to be fought at 168. And then, during the week of the fight, the contracted weight ballooned to 173 because Chavez wasn't close to the 168 weight limit. Poor Vera just had to suck it up because he was offered a six-figure payday for his troubles. After all, Chavez Jr. could afford it; Vera could not.
But even after being the size of a light heavyweight, Vera outfought Chavez Jr. in the eyes of most everyone except the three judges that mattered. It was a highly questionable display of leveraging celebrity status from a fighter who doesn't work nearly as hard as he should. The natural ability is there but the fire and desire is not. He assumed he could just roll over Sergio Martinez and paid dearly for his troubles before nearly pulling off the upset in the final round. Against Vera, he showed remarkable power but just didn't look interested in putting in the work to win in spectacular fashion.
The saying "to whom much is given, much is expected" applies directly to Chavez Jr. With boxing in his blood, he has shown flashes of brilliance throughout his career. But those flashes should be something more sustained considering the sheer amount of natural talent he possesses. Just imagine if he nailed the contracted weight regularly, didn't use recreational drugs and gave his all. He could be unbeaten with far more than the 5,000 that were scattered at the Home Depot center when he fought Vera. But, alas, Chavez Jr. has been his own worst enemy but has yet to really be penalized for his uninspired efforts.
So, here we are, waiting for Chavez' next fight. Talk of a super middleweight showdown with Andre Ward has been tossed around. But would it be fair to give Chavez that opportunity considering that he can't prove that he can make weight and should probably beat a top super middleweight. If he does land the Ward fight, it will be based off of his legendary name and not his recent accomplishments as you can argue that he's lost 16 of his last 22 rounds in the ring. He hasn't been as spectacular as he could have been.
If he were to fight Andre Ward, he would likely be taken to school by the tactical champion. For Ward, he could gain some recognition because Chavez is still viewed as a star (albeit a spoiled star). Either way, Chavez Jr. will be paid a lot of money to miss weight, skip out on training and then go into the ring and hope to knock someone out.
The sport deserves a better effort from a fighter who we know can give it to us if he were to try.

There is nothing bad to say about this place, but there is nothing good to say about it either. Totally charmless 2* charter hotel. Clean quite big rooms if you choose executive with a porch outside with plastic chairs where you can have your sundowner overlooking a building site. Small pool without sun in the afternoon overlooking the parking lot. No garden at all, but they are expanding so eventually there will be a new pool and a garden. Staff is not bad, friendly, but they don' speak any English. So they smile a lot. Breakfast is actually the only real bad thing in this place. It's very bad. Rice, noodles, toast, jam, egg and some fruit. Bad coffee and canned juice. Takes about 10 min to the beach and is in the middle of the Legian ghetto. The price is good and reflects the quality. We got 50% off the stipulated price.
We would probably stay there again if we go to Legian again, which I very much doubt, mostly because of the price. So if you just want a decent place to sleep with no thrills I would probably recommend it.

Poetry. "If the landscape of Gail Martin's poems is a domestic one, then it is Emily Dickinson's wild domesticity, where innocuous-looking teapots contain tempests, where lemons stacked in a white bowl imply grief. If these are the poems of a mother, of a wife-which they are-then they make the claim that motherdom, wifedom, is the kingdom of God"-Diane Seuss. "Restraint and skill merge with genuine anguish to create poems that are sure to hold and move us"-- Conrad Hilberry. Gail Martin, a Michigan native, grew up in Flint.

Port of Los angeles Executive Director Receivs Peter Benchley 'Excellence in Solutions' Ocean Conservation Award. Port of Los Angeles Executive Director Geraldine Knatz, Ph.D., has been named the 2012 recipient of the Blue Frontier Campaign's Peter Benchley Ocean Award for "Excellence in Solutions." The Blue Frontier Campaign is a national marine conservation activist organization working to improve ocean policies in coastal states. The Peter Benchley Award is named in honor of lifetime marine wildlife conservationist Peter Benchley, best known for writing the bestseller novel 'Jaws' in 1974. Dr. Knatz was recognized for her environmental efforts as executive director of the Port of Los Angeles, the busiest container port in the nation, and her role as president of the International Association of Ports and Harbors (IAPH), where she has become a global leader in the Greening Ports movement. She will receive her award at a ceremony Friday night in San Francisco. "Combining her savvy as a long time port official and her knowledge as a marine biologist and environmental engineer, Dr. Knatz has transformed 'America's Port®,' at Los Angeles into 'America's Greenest Port,'" said David Helvarg, co-founder and executive director of the Blue Frontier Campaign. "Through collaboration with the neighboring Port of Long Beach, she has led successful efforts to clean the air and water, demonstrating the link between environmental clean-up and economic prosperity."
"I am honored to receive the Peter Benchley award," said Dr. Knatz. "It's exciting and rewarding to see how the work we've done at the Port of Los Angeles impacts other ports worldwide and spurs change in our industry." Dr. Knatz noted that inaugural 2004 Peter Benchley Award winner Dery Bennett hired Dr. Knatz in 1973 to do environmental water sampling in New Jersey, her first professional position.
The fifth annual Peter Benchley Ocean Awards acknowledge the broad range of achievement in the ocean and coastal community, providing a way to celebrate outstanding achievements that lead to the protection of our coasts, oceans, and the communities that depend on them. Other 2012 award winners include U.S. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) for advocating for ocean protection in the United States Senate; Google for making ocean exploration possible via "Google Earth" and Dr. Nancy Rabalais, Executive Director of the Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium, for identifying the Gulf of Mexico "Dead Zone" and working to reduce its upstream causes. A posthumous award will be given to Peter Douglas, the creator and longtime Executive Director of the California Coastal Commission. Douglas, who passed away in April, will be honored with the "Hero of the Seas" award for assuring public access to and protection of California's 1,100 miles of coastline. In January 2006, Dr. Knatz became the first female executive director of the Port of Los Angeles. Moving the Port forward with an agenda that focuses on responsible Port growth and environmental leadership is an aggressive goal that Dr. Knatz has tackled from day one. Accommodating the Port's future growth involves reducing air emissions, eliminating health risks and expanding capital development programs, all top priorities of the Port under her leadership.

GREAT GATSBY (Shown in 3D)
Back"AN INSTANT CLASSIC. LEONARDO DiCAPRIO HAS NEVER BEEN BETTER." -Cindy Pearlman, Chicago Sun-Times. "UNDENIABLY ORIGINAL, UNBELIEVABLY BEAUTIFUL AND UNBEARABLY SEXY." -Jake Hamilton, Fox-TV
The Great Gatsby follows Fitzgerald-like, would-be writer Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire) as he leaves the Midwest and comes to New York City in the spring of 1922, an era of loosening morals, glittering jazz and bootleg kings. Chasing his own American Dream, Nick lands next door to a mysterious, party-giving millionaire, Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio) and across the bay from his cousin, Daisy (Carey Mulligan) and her philandering, blue-blooded husband, Tom Buchanan (Joel Edgerton). It is thus that Nick is drawn into the captivating world of the super rich, their illusions, loves and deceits. As Nick bears witness, within and without the world he inhabits, he pens a tale of impossible love, incorruptible dreams and high-octane tragedy, and holds a mirror to our own modern times and struggles. The film is based on the bestselling book by F. Scott Fitzgerald.
- Rated: PG-13 for some violent images, sexual content, smoking, partying and brief language.
