Widespread Panic cut its teeth, like so many of its forebears, on the southern bar circuit, where winning fans and influencing patrons takes a unique combination of musical panache and from-the-gut persistence. John Bell and Michael Houser had spent the better part of five years writing, playing and racking up life experiences as collaborators and friends by the time the fully-coalesced band's first official show took place in 1986. From there, the Panic spread stealthily but immutably, via disc -- their first full-length, Space Wrangler, followed in 1987 -- and, even more importantly, the constant gigging that shaped them into one of the era's most extraordinary live bands. Panic separated themselves from the crowd by working both ends of the sonic spectrum -- crafting tightly-wound and memorable songs and using those as jumping off points for improvisations that turn heads and then keep them bobbing.

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
The gentrifying and newly hip Hamburg neighborhood of St. Georg is where the George gets its name — and you can bet there's a sensible reason why they've anglicized it. Hamburg's relationship with England goes back a long way — it's no accident that the Beatles did their apprenticeship here — and it's that relationship in particular that the George's owner and designer sought to underline.
This goes a long way towards explaining why the hotel's common bear more resemblance to a century-old London gentlemen's club than a modern-day Continental design hotel. It's all here — patterned wallpapers, clubby leather chairs, afternoon tea and whisky from the bar. Rooms are slightly more contemporary, mixing some classic English icons with crisp modern fixtures and muted, masculine colors. This is how you achieve unity of style without crossing over into pastiche.
As in any decent British restaurant, the kitchen serves upscale Mediterranean fare (of course we jest). There's a library which bears a more than passing resemblance to the Drones Club, and on the rooftop there's a spa which is oddly, charmingly Moroccan in style, surrounded by a terrace with a view over the city. It's a little jarring, frankly, to look out over the skyline and see not London but Hamburg, the Elbe and not the Thames — it's a side of Germany you don't often see, and the George is the ideal vantage from which to see it.

What I liked:
I LOVE this hotel. The style is right up my alley. The service is exceptional. The barman was very knowledgable about whiskeys which we appreciated. Everyone was friendly and rooms were spotless.
What the hotel could do better:
The TV in the room was a bit small and the only english channels were CNN and BBC. Banging doors late at night and early in the morning. Maybe the room doors could have some kind of door closer to prevent doors from slamming.

What I liked:
I liked the atmosphere and the setting. The bar was happening in the evening.
What the hotel could do better:
Breakfast was in general poor; there was no skim milk. They could start improving room service. I asked for a Spaghetti from the room service menu at 12:30pm on a Sunday afternoon and was told that the cook hadn't arrived so they couldn't serve me from the room service menu. Plus they didn't think there was anything wrong with that!!

My writing group comrade and friend Andrew C. Ferguson crafted this wonderful post about Scottish Standard English. It even includes a bespoke audio clip of him reading my favourite sentence to hear in SSE. Go, read, listen!

Two things inspired this, the first being a post by the brilliant cygnoir about how she enjoyed hearing Scottish Standard English being spoken every day.

First of all to cygnoir, who is my friend and fellow Edinburgh-based writer Halstead Bernard. In her December 18 post, she wrote:

Worse, adult sites are mixed in with the results, again when they have no reason to be present in that keyword. Whatever algo they're using, it's definitely NOT working
I just sent my first complaint to AlltheWeb for giving trashy results.

It's hard, but you'll pull through...
"Don't frown because it's over, smile because it happened"

Mon, 04-07-2003 - 11:00pm |
I know what it like to go through a break up. I recently realized that my ex was not the person that I thought he was, and the person that he actually was (a narcissistic, unfeeling, b*****), was a not a person that it was good for me to be with. Yet despite all this I keep having fantasies that he will miracluously change, that he will come back, and that we will have the relationship that I always dreamed of. Even though I know this will never happen it is still hard for me to let go of my feelings and fantasies.
So let yourself experience all of your feelings. The hurt, the anger, and your sadness. Only by going through the full range of your emotions will you be able to heal and truly let go. In the mean time realize that you ex's behavior has more to do with HIS problems
(which were probably why you left him) than it does with you. Someone who can easily move on to a new relationship is probably incapable of forming real attachmentments in the first place. So don't look at his behavior as a reflection on yourself. You however ARE capable of forming sincere, giving relationships, which is why you are now experiencing so much grief.
You are a giving loving person who has a lot to offer in a relationship. You deserve to find someone who will truly be able to give as much to you.
Lots of hugs.
Tue, 04-08-2003 - 11:27am |
And hear me when I tell you this when people can walk
away from you: let them walk. I don't want you to
try to talk another person into staying with you,
loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming to
see you, staying attached to you. I mean hang up
the phone. When people can walk away from you let
them walk. Your destiny is never tied to anybody
that left. The Bible said that, they came out from
us that it might be made manifest that they were not
for us. For had they been of us, no doubt they
would have continued with us. People
leave you because they are not joined to you. And if
they are not joined to you, you can get super glue
and you can't make them stay. Let them go. And it
doesn't mean that they are a bad person it just
means that their part in the story is over. And
you've got to know when people's part in your story
is over so that you don't keep trying to raise the
dead. You've got to know when it's dead. You've got
to know when it's over. Let me tell you something.
I've got the gift of good bye. It's the tenth
spiritual gift, I believe in good bye. It's not that
I'm hateful, it's that I'm faithful, and I know
whatever God means for me to have he'll give it to
me. And if it takes too much sweat I don't need it.
Stop begging people to stay. Let them go!!
If you are holding on to something that doesn't
belong to you and was never intended for your life,
then you need to LET IT GO!! If you are holding on
to past hurts and pains.... LET IT GO!!! If someone
can't treat you right, love you back, and see your
worth....LET IT GO!!! If someone has angered
you..... LET IT GO!!! If you are holding on to some
thoughts of evil and revenge.... LET IT GO!!! If you
are involved in a wrong relationship or
addiction..... LET IT GO!!! If you are holding on
to a job that no longer meets your needs or
talents..... LET IT GO!!! If you have a bad
attitude......LET IT GO!!! If you keep judging
others to make yourself feel better..... LET IT GO!!!
If you're stuck in the past and God is trying to take you
to a new level in Him...... LET IT GO!!!
If you are struggling with the healing of a broken
relationship.... LET IT GO!!! If you keep trying
to help someone who won't even try to help
themselves..... LET IT GO!!! If you're feeling
depressed and stressed....... LET IT GO!!! If there
is a particular situation that you are so used to
handling yourself and God is saying "take your hands
off of it," then you need to...... LET IT GO!!!
Let the past be the past. Forget the former things.
GOD is doing a new thing for 2003!!! LET IT GO!!!
Get! Right or Get Left...think about it, then LET IT GO!!! LET God
Love, Peace and Blessings be with you always...
"The past cannot be changed.......the future is still in your power!
Tue, 04-08-2003 - 10:28pm |
Everyone's advice is wonderful.
I read this on a card:
"No boy is worth crying over & the one who is won't make you cry"
I do know how your feeling, but he didn't respect or support what you were going through. You need to recognize that & continue to work on your self-esteem.
You don't need to be treated bad. Work on trying to be your own best friend.

Stunningly perfect
After going online i looked through all my favorites and ended up going back through and deleting many because of price, well luckily when i got to davids bridal they had printed out dresses i had deleted after they printed out my favorites. This was the FIRST dress i tried on and i felt amazing, my mom and grandmother loved it! did i buy it... no.. i got a fit and flare dress... but could not get this dress off my mind... so i called them back i hadn't gotten my dress yet so they did an exchange for this one. An extra $150 was nothing compared to how i''m going to fill on my wedding day in this dress <3 I'm glad i was able to get it without any hassle. Thank you davids bridal for making my dream day be amazing while being able to look like a princess without regrets =]
May 23, 2012
This dress was just perfect! It seems like it would be heavy with all the petal details, but it's so light and fun. I'm a pear shapped woman and was very worried the fitted top would make my hips look large, but it made me look so curvy. I felt so confident. This dress is so amazing!
May 15, 2012
Best Purchase
The first time go round I went to try on dresses, I had the goddess theme in mind. However, my consultant instructed I step outside of my comfort zone, and go from plain to something eye catching. She picked this dress for me and I am forever grateful. The second time go round I went and I took my matron and maid of honor and the flower girl with me. The results were awesome!! I was so excited. I cannot wait until October, when my Husband to be sees his Wife to be in this dress.
April 5, 2012
This was THE one
I had tried on dresses at 3 other stores and had found several that were very nice, but none that I considered "the" dress until my bridal consultant brought this one. When I tried it on, it fit perfectly. The two flower girls' dresses matched it perfectly, an it was a beautiful day. Every one of my guests gushed about how beautiful everyone looked. Thank you for making this a wonderful day.

English summer rain seems to last for ages
Ugh, grocery shopping in a downpour. I guess all that fruit I'll be buying can dose me up on vitamin c so I can fight off the illnesses travelling there for it will inevitably bring.
Oh, and 10 points if you recognise the lyrics in the title!
Yoga Love
Ok, I just held crow pose for around 10 seconds and got out of it without looking like a total spaz. So proud right now xD

Yes, I did it!
I managed to get myself out of the house, braving society and hayfever to complete a weeny little run. I'm proud of myself for actually doing it and not flaking and bailing.
Just over a mile, nothing impressive, but it's the start I needed.

Tina Lockwood: Women of Bodybuilding and Fitness
Tina Lockwood is the girl who put men to shame because of the amount of muscle mass she has. This amazingly muscular woman is 5ft 6 inches tall and weighs 180 pounds (of solid muscle). Tina is always regarded as the freak in female bodybuilding because her body is too well developed for a female.
Her calves alone are rumored to be 18 inches in measurement and her thighs are 27 inches. This measurement was taken when Tina was only in her early 20s. Tina's forearms are said to be 13 inches, her biceps 19 inches and her chest 45 inches. Even her male bodybuilder friends are green with envy. Tina is well known for her weightlifting routines – for strength and muscle mass building. However, she has always been subjected to nasty steroid rumors because a lot of people could not bring themselves to believe that a 20 year old woman's body is more developed than men her age.
Tina competed in various shows between 1991 and 1995. Tina Lockwood's contest history is as follows:
- 1991, Iron Maiden – NPC, HeavyWeight (2nd placing)
- 1994, Jan Tana Amateur – NPC, HeavyWeight (1st placing)
- 1994, Jan Tana Amateur – NPC (Overall Winner)
- 1995, USA Championships – NPC, HeavyWeight (10th placing)
Tina also made the cover of Women's Physique World Magazine in 1998 along with Kris Alexander and Sharon Marvel. This was pretty much Tina's last appearance in the bodybuilding world. There are no current updates on Tina Lockwood.

Editorial Reviews
At 72, with 26 bestsellers under her belt, Collins (Drop Dead Beautiful) prowls familiar terrain with this overheated tale of the filthy rich, nasty poor, and cravenly ambitious. Collins picks up the saga of the Santangelos with spoiled-brat Annabelle Maestro, the daughter of two Tinseltown icons, who runs a high-priced call-girl ring in New York with her coke-sniffing nogoodnik boyfriend, Frankie. Annabelle's mom's murder brings the black sheep home to L.A. to mourn for a parent she never loved--and to lean on the adventurous Denver, a quick-witted, sex-starved lawyer who's defending the No. 1 suspect in the murder, Annabelle's dad, film legend Ralph Maestro. But Denver also juggles the rescue of his missing best friend, Carolyn, who's fooling around with a horn dog U.S. senator, and a few hot one-night stands. For all the convoluted connections, mismatches, and throw-away references to ripped-from-the-headlines news and celebrities, Collins is at her seasoned best with this raunchy, retro hot-sheets romance. It's men, dollface, one brassy Hollywood agent muses. They all spew forth the same tired old lines. As does Collins. And it's impossible not to fall for it. Again. (Feb.)

Excerpt from Poor Little Bitch Girl by Jackie Collins
Belle Svetlana surveyed her nude image in a full-length mirror, readying herself for a thirty-thousand-dollar-an-hour sexual encounter with the fifteen-year-old son of an Arab oil tycoon.
Belle knew she was a beauty. What the hell, enough money had been spent along the way to make sure she was beautiful. A nose job ordered by her mother when she was a mere fourteen, a boob job shortly after--that was her decision. And then later, liposuction when needed, lip enhancement, regular facials, and skin-lasering treatments to make certain her skin remained the milky white she'd worked so hard to achieve (getting rid of her freckles had been a bitch, but she'd done it). Ever since her teenage years Belle had strived for perfection, and now she'd gotten pretty damn close. Her hair was a pale golden red, shoulder length and wavy. Her eyes were a spectacular emerald green. Her body--a playground of delights.
Yes, she thought, staring intently at her unabashed nakedness, I am worth every cent of the thirty thousand dollars cash already neatly stashed in my safe.
Usually she did not go out on "dates" herself, but Sharif Rani, the oil tycoon, had insisted that it was she who should teach his youngest son the joys of the flesh. So, for a princely sum, she'd finally agreed.
Carefully, she stepped into a peach slip of a dress--powdered, perfumed, and ready for action.
Thirty thousand an hour. Not bad for a job that would probably take her no more than fifteen minutes to complete.
Of course, she could have turned the job down and suggested one of her twenty-thousand-an-hour girls, but sometimes it was fun to play, especially as she could pick and choose among her roster of rich, powerful, and famous clients--which included everyone from Hollywood's biggest stars to several princes, more than one captain of industry, a few superstar rappers, dozens of sports heroes, and too many politicians to count.
Yes, Belle Svetlana, n?e Annabelle Maestro, ran the most exclusive, expensive call girl business in town--the town being New York, as opposed to Los Angeles, the city she'd grown up in, surrounded by luxury and all the opulence two movie-star parents could buy.
Thank God she'd escaped those two egomaniacs--Mom, the ethereal queen of quality in de pen dents; and Dad, the macho king of big-budget schlock. What a horror show having them as parents.
When she'd dropped out of college in Boston and settled in New York, neither of her loving parents had given a rat's ass. Admitting to a grown daughter did nothing to enhance their public images, so they'd arranged to send her a monthly allowance, blithely told her to follow her dreams, and left her to her own devices.
Annabelle was no slouch when it came to following her dreams; she'd soon found herself caught up in the club-and-party scene--a lifestyle that had satisfied her for a while. Then one night she'd been introduced to Frankie Romano, a popular deejay who worked private parties and the occasional hot club. One look at Frankie and it was lust at first sight.
Originally from Chicago, Frankie was quirky and attractive in a Michael Imperioli kind of way. Fast-talking and edgy, he had longish dark hair, ice-chip blue eyes, and sharp features.
The trouble with Frankie was that he was usually broke--he was a dedicated cokehead, so what ever money came his way went straight up his nose.
Annabelle fell hard, for in spite of Frankie's drug use, it turned out that he was a star in bed, whenever he wasn't too coked-out to perform. She didn't know anything about his background, and she didn't care. As far as she was concerned, they were soul mates.
After a few weeks of crazy togetherness, Frankie had moved into her SoHo loft, a move she hadn't objected to. The only downer was that eventually she'd found herself spending her entire allowance keeping him in drugs, so it wasn't long before--at Frankie's urging--she'd called her dad in L.A. and requested that her allowance be increased.
Ralph Maestro--the self-made son of a Brooklyn butcher who'd gotten shot by a robber when Ralph was twelve--told her no way. "I made it on my own without two cents to rub together," Ralph had informed her sternly. "We've already given you a head start. If you want more money, I suggest you go out and find yourself a job."
Annabelle was furious. Her parents raked in millions, and Daddy Movie Star was telling her to get a job! Screw them! It was increasingly obvious that they didn't give a damn about her.
A couple of weeks later, she and Frankie had come up with a master plan. They'd been lying in bed reading the lurid headlines about a married politician who'd recently gotten caught having sex with a series of high-priced call girls.
"How stupid is he?" Frankie had ruminated, scratching his skinny butt. "The dumb asshole should've paid cash. That way nobody gets busted, an' everyone goes home happy."
"Cash is good," Annabelle had agreed. "For special girls only."
"Yeah," Frankie had said half-jokingly. "Not some mouthy skank who's gonna sell her story, but very special girls. Y'know the kinda babes I mean. Models, actresses--they're always on the lookout for an extra score. An' here's the sweet part of the deal: We know 'em all."
"We sure do."
"So . . ." Frankie had said after a thoughtful few minutes. "You thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?"
She was indeed. And so their adventure had begun.
At first they'd both considered it a lark, but after a few months it had turned into one of the most successful call girl businesses in town.
Flushed with success, Annabelle had soon created two identities for herself. One was Annabelle Maestro, a girl struggling to make it in the fashion industry as a sometime designer. And the second was Belle Svetlana (she got off on the exotic sound of the Russian surname), a woman of mystery who was able to supply the right girl to satisfy any man's fantasy.
For a price.
A hefty price, depending on what was required.
Annabelle's girls were not hookers. They were stylish, good-looking career women who enjoyed the extra income. Models, actresses, singers, designers, all classy, smart, and discreet, some of them quite well-known.
It was Annabelle's idea that the girls they recruited should wear masks when they went on jobs, to hide their identities. She was sure the men would get off on the mystery, and the girls were happy, too, imagining that wearing masks would conceal their true identities.
Finding the right girls was no problem. Frankie, a major cocksman before hooking up with Annabelle, knew them all, and he used his considerable way with words to talk them into anything. A shitload of untaxable cash income was the big temptation, and as Frankie pointed out, since most of the girls were fucking for nothing, what was the big deal if they did it and got handsomely paid? Especially if they were able to remain anonymous.
Frankie vetted all their would-be clients, while Annabelle liaised with the girls and arranged the appointments. Between them they pocketed sixty percent of every assignation, and it didn't take long before they were rolling in cash. It was always cash, no paper trails involved.
Now they'd been doing it for almost a year, and what a sweet money-making business it had turned out to be. Neither Annabelle nor Frankie had any complaints--that is, until they both realized they needed help.
After thinking about it for a while, Frankie had recruited Janey Bonafacio, one of his many cousins, who lived in Brooklyn and worked as a bookkeeper. He'd asked her if she'd be interested in working for him, and since she'd always harbored a huge crush on her cousin Frankie, she'd immediately quit her job, and he'd hired her to take care of the phones and schedule the girls' appointments.
Janey, a 275-pound unmarried mother with a nineteen-year-old-son, Chip, was delighted to get the job. Worshipping her cousin from afar was one thing, but actually working for him was a dream come true, even if the business he ran with his snooty girlfriend was fairly dubious.
Annabelle kind of trusted Janey, but she wasn't so trusting when it came to Chip--a surly slacker with way too much attitude and a complaining disposition. Annabelle regarded him as a not-so-charming Frankie-in-training. They used him to run errands and drive the car.
"At least they're family," Frankie had assured her. "They'll never screw us."
"Don't be so naive," she'd retorted. "When it comes to money, everyone has an agenda."
"Hey," Frankie had said, "we're payin' Janey plenty to make sure they stay discreet. An' remember this--Janey's got a thing for me, she'd never do anythin' to hurt me."
Annabelle was not so sure.
After making certain that she looked her most seductive, Annabelle buzzed downstairs to check that her car was waiting. Her main residence was a Park Avenue pent house where she and Frankie spent most of their time, but she still kept the SoHo loft; it was the place her parents and old friends could contact her. Not that her parents ever did--she heard from them maybe once every few weeks. And she wasn't really interested in her old friends. She had a new life now, and in her new life very few people knew who her parents were and where she came from. That's the way she liked it.
Earlier in the day, Frankie had driven to Atlantic City to spend the weekend with a couple of his guy friends, Bobby Santangelo Stanislopoulos and Bobby's business partner, M.J. Annabelle knew both Bobby and M.J. from way back when they'd all attended the same high school in Beverly Hills. Yeah, fun times. She'd never forgotten the infamous prom night when the three of them had hung out, gotten totally high, and on a dare she'd ended up making out with the two of them.
Hmm . . . just one of those crazy out-of-control teenage escapades, although it was quite a memorable experience. None of them had ever mentioned it again. It was a no-go zone.
Then one night, years later after she'd moved to New York, she'd walked into Mood, and there they were--Bobby and M.J. At first it was a shock seeing them, but they'd soon got to talking and catching up on old times. In fact, it was M.J. who'd introduced her to Frankie.
She'd never told Frankie about her one night of lust with his two best friends; some things were better left in the past. Besides, she didn't imagine he'd be too thrilled if he ever found out, and when pushed, Frankie had a vicious temper.
Since gambling seemed to be Frankie's new passion, she hadn't objected to him taking off. Her live-in boyfriend was a handful and then some, so she didn't mind the occasional night on her own. Chilling out without Frankie would allow her a pleasant break.
The concierge informed her that her driver was parked outside. She picked up her Chanel purse and headed for the door.
As she stepped out into the hallway, the phone began to ring, but she chose to ignore it. She had a thing about phones, hated answering them. Whoever it was could leave a message.
She left the apartment and descended in the elevator, quite psyched about the prospect of inducting an innocent young man into the joys of sex. His father, Sharif Rani, was one of their best customers. Sharif required a different girl several times a week, and he always came back for more. Annabelle considered Sharif Rani to be a primo client, along with the Hollywood movie star who was an insatiable pussy-hound and the Hall of Fame rock 'n' roller with the nine-inch cock and a penchant for girls who would agree to indulge in bathroom activities all over his craggy face.
"Good afternoon, Miss Svetlana," the conclerge said, moving out from behind the long marble counter, rubbing his palms together in anticipation of a large tip.
Annabelle discreetly slipped him a twenty. She'd learned early on that it was smart to keep everyone happy.
The concierge tried not to stare at her. She was a beauty, with her pale red hair and slinky body. She was also quite mysterious. Nobody in the building knew what she or her boyfriend did, just that they were young and rich and that they had plenty of good-looking friends.
Annabelle walked outside, slid onto the backseat of the Mercedes they'd recently purchased, and settled back against the plush leather. She was glad this was an afternoon assignation, because after educating the boy, she wanted to pop into Saks and buy herself the new patent-leather Prada purse she'd seen in the catalog. And since Frankie was not big on buying her gifts, maybe she'd even treat herself to a David Yurman piece of jewelry.
Yes, that's what I'll do, she thought dreamily. I'll reward myself for five minutes of not-so-hard work. I deserve it.
"Hey there," Chip said, glancing in the rearview mirror, his narrow eyes busily checking her out. "How's it goin'?"
"I'm not in the mood for conversation, Chip," she said crisply, tuning him out because he bothered her. There was just something about him. . . .
" 'Scuse me for existing," he muttered.
Damn! She decided then and there that Chip had to go. And the sooner the better.

Fireworks Cause Stadium To Ignite
Posted by buabua on Dec. 17, 2006
Posted by buabua on Dec. 17, 2006
In that country people light fireworks inside their cars on the way to work, it wakes you up more than coffee.
 The guy did 1-0 for the home team.. During a training game.. Off season.. On a tuesday.. That's just the regular celebration!
Ok, banner says Fenerbache and you can see turkish flags in background. So where can this really be? Dumbass guy. So typically american not to know anything about anything not related to USA. All countrys you know about are Afghanistan (I wonder why) Iran, Iraq, Japan and probably England (or GBR).
wow: No way I would keep playing. These guys are crazier than the videos from Digitalfuntown.com . . . Ridiculous.
fenerbache are from Istanbul in Turkey: their hardcore fans are nuts, stabbings and riots aren't uncommon.
that's hilarious: imagine what the f*cking health and safety brigade in the uk would have to say about that. f*ck em.
At the end of the video, the fans are saying: This is kadikoy, and there is no way out. Kadikoy is the city in Istanbul
Its a Turkih derby, galatasaray vs FENERBAHCE, one of the top 3 biggest rivalries in the world.: Game is being played at Sukru Saracoglu Stadium. Fenerbahce fans and Galatasaray fans are known for their rivalry and always have conflicts..and this becomes the result
soccer is an awsome sport: if u dont like it then u never have tried it kids play it way more than hockey and football because all u need is a ball and no equipment
ignite? the fans are holding flares: there is nothing dangerous there.... those fireworks were a little excessive though
why did they stop the game?: it would have added a new level of excitement. and you have got to give it to the fans for that amount of devotion.
d3mn...: i guess Paris Hilton's gonerrhea spread to stadiums too! phew, thats some burnin' sensation!
wtf: wonder who is the retard that set that up. guess the moron forgot about the wind and the flamable posters
yeah...: turkish and istanbulis.. dont put deodorant... they stink.. ur better off killed.. than.. staying.. just to smell their stinking armpitts...
So its a city...: in another city... wow that makes sense! So you have fireworks on top of the stadium that burn down and fans hold flares that cause to much smoke to breathe and watch the football game. You turks are the cleverest people!
jimithegrape: fukin hilarious, i'm still in tears, standing ovation u just absolutely annilated that freak on whatever he was on about

text: Remember the electronic communication breakdown over at Egypt? Well, Google has decided to help the people by launching a special service which enables folks living in that part of the world to send Twitter messages by dialling a phone number followed by leaving a voicemail, since Internet access remains non-existent in the midst of anti-government protests. This service was co-developed by Google as well as Twitter's engineers, where all voicemail will be automatically translated into an audio file message which is then sent on Twitter via the identifying tag #egypt. This workaround means there is no need for an Internet connection any more, and there are three phone numbers for folks to call and use the service.

Call us: 0861 801 802 South Africa +27 21 710 5800 International
A mere hour's drive from Johannesburg, the Cradle of Humankind is a place of major significance. It was here we first became human. Here where we first stood upright on our own two, rather oddly shaped, feet, explored the uses to which we could put our usefully opposed thumbs, and experimented with more and more sophisticated grunts as we tried to make sense of our environment. Its also the place where 1.8 million years ago we first "domesticated" fire. You can do a tour of the Sterkfontein Caves, where there is a small interpretive museum, but you'll get more out of a visit here if you take a dedicated tour with a knowledgeable guide who can tell you about the various discoveries.
OK – to be perfectly honest, it's unlikely that these hominids lived only in the Sterkfontein area – they probably ranged all over southern Africa but, in order for fossils to be preserved, they need to die under ideal conditions – ideal conditions for fossil formation, not ideal conditions for life, obviously.
And the Cradle of Humankind, with its heavy deposits of limestone, offered the perfect environment for the preservation of these ancient skeletons. Since 1947, when Robert Broom discovered the first hominid fossil, who came to be known as Mrs Ples, literally thousands of fossils have been found at Sterkfontein and the other sites that make up the Cradle of Humankind.
But, even if you're not particularly interested in visiting the place where our ancestors hung out, the Cradle of Humankind is a great place to visit and it is close to Pretoria and Johannesburg. There are enough small game farms, caves, restaurants, craft shops and guesthouses to keep you occupied for a couple of days. You could even go for a hot air balloon ride. The Cradle is also close to the town of Magaliesburg and the Magaliesberg Mountains.
The Cradle of Humankind was proclaimed one of South Africa's first World Heritage Sites in 1999.
Sterkfontein, Swartkrans, Kromdraai, and Environs Krugersdorp, Gauteng S25º55'45 E27º 47'20
Makapan Valley Mokopane (Potgietersrus), Limpopo, South Africa S24º9'31 E29º10'37
Taung Skull Fossil Site Taung, North West, South Africa S27º37'10 E24º37'59
The Taung Skull Fossil Site, part of the extension, is the place where in 1924 the celebrated Taung Skull - a specimen of the species Australopithecus africanus - was found. Makapan Valley, also in the site, features in its many archaeological caves traces of human occupation and evolution dating back some 3.3 million years. The area contains essential elements that define the origin and evolution of humankind. Fossils found there have enabled the identification of several specimens of early hominids, more particularly specimens of Paranthropus, dating back between 4.5 million and 2.5 million years as well as evidence of the domestication of fire 1.8 million to 1 million years ago. It is an extension to the site inscribed in 1999.

Picture perfect mountains - Quiet and serene... perfect for a weekend getaway out of town as the drive is really not that far and lots to see and do in the area!
Amazing! - Love, love, love magalies!
Krugersdorp - Excellent destination. Has many sights of interest. Close to other interesting places as well.
Magaliesburg - Magaliesburg is beautiful and a short drive from Joburg. There is also The Cradle of Humankind and Maropeng nearby.
Beautiful Scenery - I think it's underrated as a getaway. It offers scenic views of the mountains and the dam and is easily accessible from Joburg and Pretoria. It offers a lot, especially for mountain biking enthusiasts. It is equally good for those who love the outdoors and anyone who just wants to relax indoors. The only problem is that if you want to go on a boat ride, you need to pay the entry fee to the animal sanctuary. I think the business model is distasteful and should be structured so that it is either a package or an option to visit the animal sanctuary, not forced on patrons who simply want a boat cruise.

Well, clearly the context I was providing for the remark was misconstrued there. The context was required to get to the underlying point. Obviously, everyone loved whatever the man said. BUT, fwiw Lloyd spoke the next year and gave a beautifully composed and delivered speech. I'm sure it's similar to what he gives elsewhere, but it was well done. Just a contrast. I'm a big fan of both men. There was no derogatory intent there. But thanks for the witty lolz. Schmuck. |
8 weeks 1 day ago | Morgan's ability to hit that |
Morgan's ability to hit that low post baby hook consistently has made him much more viable for long stretches during games. The charges help, too. He's definitely been reasonably solid in everything he's been asked to do. Horford has appeared more aggressive around the rim and has been hitting that mid-range jumper. Horford has been pulling down 1.8 more boards per game, albeit with a 1.7 minutes more per game. Just seems to give a bit more energy. Having hands not made out of stone helps, I suppose. As Beilein said when he came to my fraternity's banquet (with absolutely nothing resembling prepared or passingly-considered remarks): "It's all about Balance." (The event had the word "Balance" in its title. ) He related this to rebounding drills. Both are producing and letting the other rest. |

(2) Amount described- For purposes of paragraph (1), an amount is described in this paragraph if— (A) the amount is paid by the taxpayer to or for the benefit of an educational organization— (i) which is described in subsection (b)(1)(A)(ii), and (ii) which is an institution of higher education (as defined in section 3304 (f)), and (B) such amount would be allowable as a deduction under this section but for the fact that the taxpayer receives (directly or indirectly) as a result of paying such amount the right to purchase tickets for seating at an athletic event in an athletic stadium of such institution. If any portion of a payment is for the purchase of such tickets, such portion and the remaining portion (if any) of such payment shall be treated as separate amounts for purposes of this subsection.

11 weeks 5 days ago | Bad in person |
I was sitting pretty close to the court with a pretty good angle to see contact around the baskets. There were a few bewildering calls. But there usually are. What bothered me were the 2 calls against in the 2nd half where (forget which player) their Guard-Like-Substance just sprinted full speed, lowered his shoulder into a Michigan player & drew fouls both times. Those were absolutely horseshit. Not only that, those kinds of plays are unnecessarily dangerous for both players. It went beyond drawing contact and more into "punt return blocking." Too many fouls. We were shooting double bonus with like 11 to go in the first half (curiously once we got there the fouls stopped coming) and Stanford was shooting it nearly as early in the 2nd half. Can't complain too hard. Looked like we got the benefit of a clearly wrong shot clock reset on an offensive board. Looked clear it should've been a violation; their coach was real heated about it. Also there was a seemingly insane OOB call on the baseline that went against us. It looked like there was a significant (more than half a foot) bit of space. Friends agreed, so, wasn't just hallucinating. |

12 weeks 2 days ago | Wrong. |
If you think they're going to lower ticket prices at some abstract point in the future when we're "done with investment," you're absolutely insane. CEO's are not automated supply & demand curves. A "CEO mindset" is a lot more likely to be focusing on year-over-year bottom line & revenue growth. If you think a former CEO is going to elect to reduce his revenue stream now that "we're updated," this conversation is even more pointless than I originally thought. See: airline fees (on everything). During periods of lower fuel prices, did airlines nix baggage fees because they weren't needed anymore? How about the fuel surcharges? I will eat numerous hats if DB decides to lower prices (not just leave the same) for football tickets, barring a catastrophic 9 loss season. |
12 weeks 2 days ago | *Squints,slowly shakes head sideways* |
So, your defense is "DB had made a bunch of critical mistakes that have irritated passionate fans, frustrated students, and alienated alumni--but look! Money!" Well then. I never said he made "no decisions for the long term health" of the school. I said he will not consider making decisions that, although not directly "revenue generating," benefit the long term health of the institution by preserving a sense of tradition and reverence for those traditions. Saying that noxious policy changes that actively frustrate fans and have made it economically unviable for some to support their team in person will "eventually be accepted" doesn't really do much to save DB here. The point is, his policies have actively driven fans away (anectdotal evidence, but this is an instance in which anectdotes are significant) or made them at least seriously rethink their financial support for Michigan Athletics. This is bad for the long term health of the institution. Full stop. Not debatable. Driving away longtime fans and setting higher barriers to entry for new fans is bad for the institution. And of course we should spend on facilities...which is what I said. Programs attempting to remain "elite" should obviously spend to, at a minimum, keep pace with other elite institutions--if not outclass them entirely. But you also don't need to leave a real bad taste in everyone's mouth in order to do so--the renovations are funded in large part by gifts. (see: http://annarborchronicle.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Athletics-FY2013... at pg. 11.) But this is also "doing the job," not "being an exceptional visionary." |
12 weeks 2 days ago | Dude, we get it. |
You are an enthusiastic supporter of Dave Brandon and his performance as AD--as measured by the net financial gains the Department has enjoyed thus far. DB's plan of aggressively monetizing every possible facet of the Department has proven he's a winner. People dislike Brandon because he has clearly prioritized wringing profits out of the fanbase--and doing so in ways that reverse some of the formerly "fan-friendly" policies that helped grow & maintain a massive fanbase. One dimension relates to ticket policies and how they reflect priorities. The GA student ticket policy, overall net cost of season tickets (incl. licenses, seat cushions, "dynamic pricing"), and student basketball tickets are examples. The other major aspect is his refusal to make minor expenditures/compromises that might negligibly lower the AD's profit margin--but should certainly be incurred no matter what, as a means of preserving the atmosphere/tradition of Michigan athletics. Refusing to pay for MMB to go to JerryWorld because he knew he could extort donations & refusing to send the band on other roadtrips are good examples here. The problem is the CEO mindset he refuses to abandon. He will not make a revenue neutral (or negative) decision for any reason whatsoever--even if it is better for the long term health of the school (as measured by loyalty, viewing, merchandising, other support, giving, and goodwill). And to the extent he's done facility upgrades (NOT football or baseball), great. Keeping up with other schools falls under "not sucking at your job," not "let's throw a parade." |
12 weeks 6 days ago | Goes to you ! |
Congrats on the upset win for your own award! Dave Brandon is "giving us a brand?" Are you ill? Pretty sure Michigan was a national icon before Brandon and will be way after he's gone. Ask those players who's doing the real branding work. Whether or not you agree with what he does, call it for what it is. He's aggressively attempting to squeeze the maximum profit margin out of absolutely every facet of the AD he thinks he can monetize. Seat cushions, GA student seats, ticket prices. Some say that's necessary to compete and be at the top. Personally, I'm sure MSU enjoyed flaming our AD with the Rose Bowl ticket distribution & statement. And you know what? For once (and only once) I can't really blame them or even really disagree. |
13 weeks 1 day ago | But not really. |
note: just providing facts. not hating. the board members do have fiduciary responsibility, and thus personal liability, in theory. Of course, it's nearly impossible to successfully sue a board/directors, let alone criminally convict them. In terms of being sued, the board is protected by "the business judgment rule," which basically requires you deal in good faith, make reasonably prudent decisions, and make decisions you then-believe to have been in the company's best interest. Not that easy, though. The board has what is essentially an extremely high level of deferrence from courts--the courts won't substitute their business judgments for the execs. Also, to successfully bring a shareholder derivative suit, you need to first obtain permission, or "waiver" from the board. The premise of derivative suits is that conduct/a decision harmed the company, and the company is thus suing the directors. AND, to top it all off, this is only waived when you can show a self-interested transaction that would make it futile to attempt to ask. To sue. Themselves. In short: technically, there's liability. But you need to try real hard to actually screw up hard enough for anything to happen. /end law rant |
14 weeks 1 day ago | I love the guy's enthusiasm, |
I love the guy's enthusiasm, but, does anyone know if Hoke has ever changed his shirt? Man must have a closetful of those suckers. Makes sense. And, yikes, only 1 player in the top 100. I know caveats apply, but, well, yikes. Hoke's recruiting has been his early strength & obviously Peppers was a ridiculous get, but we know what happens when recruiting starts to level off around here... This is not a "weight joke," but, if eating sausage is what a head coach needs to do in order to get recruits, then I'm glad we've got Hoke. And somewhere Borges cuts off another slice of Rum Ham. |
15 weeks 6 days ago | Why did this thought cross |
Why did this thought cross Borges' mind? "Well, Green seems effective, probably time to get Fitz in there. Don't want those numbers to be too gaudy." I know fitz had a decent run or two but Green was able to get between tackles, not dance for a loss. |
16 weeks 6 days ago | Of course he knows. I'm sure |
Of course he knows. I'm sure he knows how much he's paying the facilities staff. I should've been more precise: it's a very public reminder. And an extra reminder in an unavoidably public way may be the push DB needs to put his foot down. |
16 weeks 6 days ago | Glad he highlighted Borges' Pay |
I'm glad Desmond highlighted the fact that Borges is the 3rd highest paid OC in the country. I would imagine that a quick reminder to DB of how much Michigan Athletics, Inc. is paying Borges will bring out the calculating CEO. "Paying him that much? For this? Waste of my money, get out!" Brady may have a large degree of autonomy, but, I am pretty confident DB will stage some sort of intervention. That's his valuable product on the field. The no-raise in ticket prices could be a response to our horrible home schedule next year, but, they knew that schedule for a while. Think it's a mistake that announcement was timed when it was? Think if we were a 1 loss team (STAEE) they wouldn't be considering raising those prices? |
24 weeks 3 days ago | The legal issue here- A |
The legal issue here- A ticket is a license. As long as the fine print or terms & conditions said availability and conditions subject to change, then yes. In a legal sense, it is the AD's right to change the terms. Your version of how things work, not as much. And jumping into this debate (no one cares, I know): Saying things like "students don't need athletics" (not above poster, just read earlier) underlines the absurdity of your argument. THE STUDENTS ARE THE ATHLETES. They play for the university, i.e., its faculty and STUDENTS. Students get discounted tickets, sure. That kind of benefit is probably more of a concession to the reality that students aren't as wealthy as alumni and the students are paying members of the University the sports teams are composed of and representing (yes I know tuition doesn't go to the AD). And when I was there, '07-'11, I saw both entirely empty and jam-packed Crisler. The thing is, since the student section is relatively small, many students that cannot get there early enough get annoyed/discouraged knowing they're relegated to the upper portion of the arena. If the environment and cheering is a substantial portion of the fun, then, it stands to reason that sitting with 3 other friends in the upper deck will not be enjoyable, yes? Also, please keep in mind that MGoBlog is an exceptional community in its devout fanatacism (I am included here; that was not pejorative). For students that think they might want to go to a bunch of games, especially the big ones, the retail for those tix will probably begin approaching the season ticket price. Why buy a few retail when you can have tickets for all of the games and pick which ones you can/want to attend? Also, I distinctly recall having classes that went late enough to pose a problem for getting to Crisler practically (and having a chance at a decent seat). I'd probably stop shit-talking everyone from out of state, though. There's no reason for it and y'all look petty as hell. There is merit to remembering that someone making the choice to pay around $50k/year to go to Michigan actually cares about it. |
24 weeks 5 days ago | I know what a medical |
I know what a medical scholarship is. I also know that, on this board, we have specifically cited instances of players being forced to transfer due to injury or not being good enough anymore. Let's suppose, however, that you're entirely right. This still doesn't mean that players aren't forced out of a program/off scholarship to make room for other, better players. If a player hasn't done anything wrong (besides "not be good enough), and loses a scholarship because they aren't "good enough," then I think there's enough moral outrage there go around. Promise an 18 year old a scholarship to play sports, they play hard, then they still lose it. Also, the reasonable inference from requesting medical expenses due to injury is that all of these expenses accrued after college would not be covered. Yes, as a matter of law, you're limited to a single recovery. As a matter of morality, I think that injuries incurred in service to the school/team merit the school footing the bill thereafter. These aren't NFL players that blew their savings and can't pay for care. |
24 weeks 5 days ago | Yes. It's not either "wild |
Yes. It's not either "wild west" or "complete amateurism." Laugh as we might at the idea of regulating these sponsorships, there's no reason to think you couldn't. How? Make the school liable too. Student athletes that are willing to market their image can submit their names to the school. Agents can then submit a bona fide sponsorship offer to the AD for X number of players. If the player is interested, the agent, AD, and player can sit down. They can make a deal for a certain promotion within reasonable parameters (compensation in relation to a scale--why not allow it to go up for each year the player is there? It incentivizes staying in school for the best players, minimizes attrition, increases graduation rates.) Let's pretend the scale says that for each year the student is in school, they're capped at: 25% value of the scholarship, 50% scholarship, 75% scholarship, 90% scholarship cap thereafter. Yeah, there could be schools that have a slightly higher cap. It wouldn't be a significant amount, though. Let's also say the school is the clearinghouse for the funds. The school will be a fiduciary of the students, whether or not the student actually has a deal. Nothing like the term "fiduciary duty" makes a large, compliance-sensitive organization pause before engaging in funny business. Here's another good idea: allow the universities to collect fees directly from the promoters (bids on offers, other contract fees). Those fees can be put in a trust for injured players. Fairness? Okay. To balance it out so it doesn't turn into just a few players are getting paid, how about: we allow an agent/organization to pitch an entire team for promotions. Even if the individual players that are getting paid are on that team, their earnings will still be capped based on the scale. This will also provide some incentive not to sign 1 year max-deal. For the record, I just thought that up. As I typed it. Stream of consciousness. If a lazy third year law student can cook that up from his couch, I am supremely confident the NCAA can work out a reasonable compromise. Also, if anyone has Emmert's number, go ahead and ring him. Pretty sure I just solved his problems. I'd like to be paid. |
24 weeks 5 days ago | You're right, nobody forced |
You're right, nobody forced them to play. Okay, now, consider this: you have the opportunity to be the first person in your family to go to college because you're an extremely talented football player. What do you do: decline a scholarship to college because it's to play football? The fact is, I don't know that we can fairly say "IT'S A TRAP" for players really wanting cash payments. Based on the content of this board, we've all been disgusted by the greyshirting and scholarship pulling that goes on at many major schools to clear out injured players or those that aren't up to snuff. We pride ourselves on taking well-rounded young men for the football program; not just football skills matter, but grades and attitude (unless all of that fawning over academics has been total horseshit). How do you think it feels to be literally discarded off to the side due to injury? Turns out that all that mattered was their football talents, not any of the other character shit to which we had paid so much lipservice. Wouldn't YOU be upset that after sacrificing your body and best lifetime earning opportunity for the school, you were tossed aside and had your education pulled? Wouldn't you be bitter if you had a lifetime of knee/head/ankle/elbow/wrist pain because you gave it all to the school and they tossed you for an injury? Wouldn't you be bitter if a university with a major hospital system made you pay for the treatment that resulted from playing for that school? I'm not saying that Michigan is necessarily guilty of these things. What I'm saying is a lot of these other schools likely are. The kids that make the committment to play are 16-18; they see glitz and CFB glamor all over TV every week. Then they get to school and can nominally afford to go out to the movies while coaches make millions. Whether or not YOU think it's objectively fair, you need to look at the totality of the circumstances in the PLAYERS' positions. Yeah, we're all SO morally superior because rabble rabble damn kids can't appreciate what they have. You try what they're doing in their environment, knuckling under OUR expectations. Then come back to me and say none of their complaints are valid. |
24 weeks 5 days ago | MERP. |
Well, besides the fact that Pelini was bitching about his home crowd leaving early in the game against OSU, wherein Nebraska staged a huge comeback, yeah. I would say fans complaining about being taken to the wire by winless cellar-dwellers is CERTAINLY the same as Pelini. Facts matter. Stupidity abounds. If you're not troubled by how this team is playing right now, I don't know what the hell you've been watching. |

24 weeks 6 days ago | Good thing there's no true |
Good thing there's no true free market in operation here. Sports are not remotely a free market. Labor contracts, league rules,roster limits, not to mention the mandatory arbitration in many contracts. College? Also not a free market. And even under the scholarship-as-stipend plan, it wouldn't be-fixed compensation rate. Hideous information asymmetries between universities and players. Roster limits. De facto ability of schools/conferences to exclude players. So... Fuck your free market. Seriously. This is a painfully stupid argument. |

In 1970? Either it was a while ago or you lived in a van down by the river. I graduated in 2010 and I was living in a house with 6 other dudes... We were still paying 600/month rent EACH. It was not a glamorous house. Ann Arbor is an expensive place to live now if you don't have a decent amount of cash. I pretty easily went through $1600/month including rent. Maybe a bit excessive, but, I guess that's my fault for having a girlfriend and going on the occasional date. And re: having a car? Kind of essential especially when you are pressed for time. Grocery shopping? Yeah, I'm sure these guys have the time to take the bus to Meijer and haul their groceries between practice and other obligations. And they would always be on time to practice taking the bus or walking. In the crappy Michigan weather. Right. I don't claim to have the solution here; I think everyone is remembering college with a bit too much bravado, though. |

I say this as a recent grad and paradigm gameday degenerate, so I have some perspective here. Have you seen the number of Staee students that are too drunk to move before a noon/3 pm game?
