Fernando Gonzalez Interview
On October 16th, Middleweight contender Fernando Gonzalez and Heavyweight champion Tony Lopez rendezvous at 205 pounds to square off for the vacant King of the Cage Light Heavyweight championship. We sat down with Gonzalez to discuss his impending fight and the path leading up to it.
VB: Thanks for taking the time to talk with us. I know this is eating into your rest and relaxation time. First, tell us about your background. How did you get involved with mixed martial arts?
FG: I grew up in Menifee. It's between Riverside and Temecula. I started boxing when I was about five years old. When I was in high school, I was really interested in the UFC, hearing about Tito and all those guys. When I graduated, I was looking for something to help keep me out of trouble.
VB: Was yours a rough neighborhood?
FG: It wasn't so much a rough neighborhood. But it was more that . . . when there's not much to do, you get yourself into shit, you know what I mean? So this just kept me busy and not involved in all the other dumb shit. I was lifting [weights] at a gym and one of the guys there was passing out flyers for a King of the Cage event. So I asked him about it. He said "I sponsor fighters . . . we got this studio where guys train." So I went and checked it out and I got sponsored that day.
VB: What was the name of the studio?
FG: It was Canyon Lake Martial Arts, [run by] Steve and Joey Harriman. It was a karate studio, but they had a jiu-jitsu guy, Chris Brennan, who was also fighting at King of the Cage. Chris started teaching me and a few other guys. About a year and a half after training, I started fighting. I trained with Chris for about three years. From there I was training at the Fight Lab with Cory Cass. Then I started going over to [Team] Quest, and I've been training with them since.
VB: Who's some of your regular training partners over there?
FG: My main training partners are Jesse Taylor, Thierry Sokoudjou, and Isaias Alvarado. Isaias is a really good kickboxer who will be coming out pretty soon. Obviously, we've got Dan [Henderson]; we're around the same weight class. Vinicius Magalhaes, Dave Gardner, Brian Harper, he's another King of the Cage fighter.
VB: Do you have a certain approach or philosophy behind your training?
FG: Train hard, you know? Beat yourself up in the gym so you don't get beat up in the fight. That's basically how we do it. I work a lot with Master Bob Chaney also. He's my Muay Thai instructor, and he pushes me really hard. Obviously training with Quest . . . some of the toughest fighters in the world are in our gym. I got the best of both worlds on my stand up and my ground.
VB: You've got a very even balance of wins, between knockouts, submissions, and decisions. Do you lean towards one side, as a striker or a ground guy, or a bit of both?
FG: I'm more all-around. When I first started training with Chris, I worked almost a year and a half of nothing but ground. I already had the boxing down. I think that's what threw people off. Because I could strike and they think they'd beat me on the ground and then I'd be submitting them or ground and pound . . . but I'm real comfortable with both positions.
VB: What do you know about your opponent Tony Lopez? Have you studied tape on him? What do you think will be the toughest part of fighting him?
FG: I didn't really study too much tape on the guy, but I cornered against him when he fought John Brock. [Tony's] real durable; I think, the best thing he's got going for him is that he's so damn tough and he's got a good chin.
VB: Do you think that that's going to be the toughest part of the fight for you?
FG: Yes and no . . . I'm actually training my butt off really hard for this fight. Honestly, I'm expecting a war with this guy. I'm not gonna say I'm knocking him out or submitting him. I hope that happens, but I really trained for the five rounds. I have a pretty good idea of how he fights and my game plan is to just go out there and see what he gives me, really.
VB: You normally fight at 185 lbs. What are your thoughts on fighting up in weight?
FG: I've fought at 205 pounds. Like I said, I go with Thierry Sokoudjou and Krzysztof [Soszynski]. . Strength and weight-wise, I'm comfortable. My best fight was at 205, when I fought Alex Stiebling, and I beat him at that weight, so I don't think it's going to make much difference.
VB: After your fight with Lopez, who would you like to square off against next? Would you want to come down to 185, or stay there and defend?
FG: I wouldn't mind defending once or twice, but I'm an 85'er, really. And I'm still the #1 contender for that weight class, and I feel that I need to get that one too. So hopefully I'll get this one, then drop down and fight for the [185 pound title] as well. I think that would be cool. It'd keep me busy, defending both.
VB: You took some time off from your last fight in April. What have you been up to during that time?
FG: I work at Pro-Am Kickboxing, where I instruct boxing and kickboxing. I'd like to fight more frequently, honestly. But if I don't have a fight, I'm still training my butt off and trying to get better.
Sometimes it's good to have time in between because when you're getting ready for a fight really you're not going to learn much more. Because you're preparing for the fight, like conditioning, and you're really not going to learn anything else that's going to help you to fight. So I like to have a little off time so I can work some new techniques into my game and grow as a fighter.
VB: Who are some of your sponsors?
FG: I've got Combat Clothing, Skin [Industries], Dr. Toy Rancho Chiropractics in Temecula, Tribal Gear out of San Diego. . . I've got Siggy's. They're one of my favorites. It's a restaurant and they've got a whole diet section, so I don't have to buy food and stuff. I got a good group of guys helping me out right now. And Pro-Am has its own clothing line, Sanctioned Violence.
VB: What has been your best and worst memory in your MMA career so far?
FG: My best memory is probably when I beat Alex [Stiebling]. I fought him in WEC, and I think that was my best moment because when I was little I grew up watching boxing and watching Jimmy Lennon, Jr. announce all these fights, and he announced my fight, so I was pretty stoked. I got to take pictures of him and stuff.
I'd say my worst moment was when I fought Jay Martinez. I went to fight him in Mexico City and I didn't know there was elevation. We're out there fighting and after the first round I wanted to give up, but I was winning so I was like "I can't do that." I ended up gassing out in the second and lost, but it was a good fight. My hat's off to [Jay]. I prepared for the fight; I just didn't prepare for the elevation. That's the one that pisses me off the most.
VB: Going into this week before your fight, do you have any last thoughts?
FG: Not really. I'm just keeping my head clear. I'm just chilling out and relaxing before my fight. Going through my routine like it's just another fight. It is for a title, but I don't want to put too much pressure on myself. I'm just going to go out there and perform like I normally do and . . . I think I'll beat him and I'll come out victorious.

I know the Bushie who pushed for ethanol and his argument is pretty convincing. He knew all about the decrease in mileage, the fuel cost of production, the effect on food corn markets, and the potential for engine damage. The big positive is that it really did reduce our usage of foreign oil. I still disagree with him, as it is another gov´t entitlement program that is addicting ethanol producers. The free market would come up with a better solution, given the chance. Click Here if you Like this Comment

5.00 rating Excellent!! by Zaheer on May 20, 2011
Great customer service and fast shipping. It came in a day! Highly recommend.
5.00 rating So happy with new stroller!! by 1rvmama on March 2, 2011
I bougt this stroller (in Clairmont) from buy.com which actually came from Baby Age. I am a mother of a 2yr old girl and a 2mo old boy. I looked everywhere for strollers and was trying to decide between this one and another brand. The cup and snack holder and the ability for rear seat to fold flat were what sold me!
5.00 rating Absolutely Love It! by Kelly on August 28, 2009
Better then I even expected. And I did my research! Heavy like all double strollers but folds and opens with one hand. Only time you feel the weight is lifting it in and out of the car, which is not too bad. It also folds down to almost the same size as the single. My 15 month old thinks it is a toy and loves to ride in the front. My 1 months old fits comfortably in her car seat in the back seat. Steers beautifully and feels light when pushing. Turns on a dime and the handles are great for shopping bags. I would definitely buy again.
5.00 rating so happy by stephanie s. on October 29, 2008
I tried everything. This was the best for the price and convienience. There is a bar to adapt the front part to hold the infant carrier in the front, but if you have a feisty 2 year old, the bar makes it seem like a ride and you do not have to strap them down. Love it |

Bobbi Brown's Special Gift to Her Dad
I don't know about you, but before I call out to my kids to get out of bed and get dressed for school, make breakfast, lunches, clean up morning messes and narrowly make my commuter train, I treat myself to a five-minute makeover compliments of makeup guru Bobbi Brown. I've been a fan of this mom of three for more than a decade, and was first introduced to her in my past life, while spending time backstage with several celebrity makeup artists who swore by her products.
Today I had the privilege of meeting Bobbi Brown as well as someone incredibly special in her life, her dad, Joe. After working nearly 50 years as an attorney, Joe switched gears to pursue his passion for writing, thanks to a special gift from his daughter. On Joe's 70th birthday, Bobbi surprised her dad when she published a story he had shared for decades with his children and grandchildren. After presenting her dad with 100 copies of his hardbound children's book about a taxi driver named Marceau who passes time behind the wheel by sharing adventurous tales with his passengers, Joe was ecstatic, passing out copies to close friends and family.
From that moment forward, Joe decided it was time to dive in and reignite his love of writing. With renewed spirit, Joe wrote "The Flights of Marceau: Race to the Rescue" which was published this year by Scholastic. The book catches up with Marceau as he rescues a collection of zoo animals after they're left stranded by a hurricane. "The Flights of Marceau" is an engaging tale that is not only beautifully illustrated, but is also an educational read. Each page features a glossary with word definitions that will help enhance a child's reading comprehension and vocabulary skills.
As we continued chatting, I learned how Bobbi Brown got her start - she moved from Chicago to Boston and attended Emerson College, one of the few colleges in the nation which offered practical courses in visual arts and makeup. Upon graduation, Bobbi moved to Manhattan without knowing a soul. Despite struggling financially, Bobbi persevered with support and encouragement from her parents and the rest as they say is history. If you'd like to hear more from Bobbi and her dad, who shares an incredibly inspiring story of how he predicted his daughter would become the next Estee Lauder, then listen in to our interview with both of them on Blog Talk Radio.
To find out more about Joe Brown visit his personal website The Flights of Marceau: Race to the Rescue and if you'd like to order a copy of the book visit the Scholastic website. And to check out the latest creations by Joe's amazing daughter then visit BobbiBrownCosmetics today!

Heat chicken stock to boiling and place on a backburner to simmer.
Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a frying pan and gently fry the onion until it is transparent. Add the rice to the pan and fry for 2-3 minutes.
Ladle the boiling stock into the rice a cup at a time and continually stir.Try to do this gradually as it will take the rice about 15 minutes to absorb the stock.
When all the stock has been used, add the lemon juice in and set the pan aside with a lid on it.
In a separate frying pan, heat the oil and add the chilli and garlic.
Add the prawns and cook on both sides. Keep the contents of the pan moving so as to not burn the chilli and garlic.
Add the rocket and parsley and stir-fry for a minute.
Spoon the risotto into small rice bowls and top with the prawn and rocket mix. Serve with a wedge of lemon.

The biggest city in America's Midwest, Chicago's soaring skyscrapers form a stunning backdrop to the vast waters of Lake Michigan. Many of Chicago's stylish hotels, high-end restaurants and cafes are located near the lakeside.
A favourite of many Chicago hotel guests is the 60 km Lakeside Trail, which offers walkers and bike riders great views of the city and access to beaches, museums and Lincoln Park. Bike rentals are available at Navy Pier.
The Art Institute of Chicago, known for its immense collection of Impressionist paintings, is an amazing art experience for Chicago hotel guests.
Chicago is famous for its deep-crust pizza. The multicultural area of Little Italy, in the Near West Side, is a prime restaurant area and is easily reachable from many Chicago hotels.
With professional basketball, baseball, gridiron and ice-hockey teams, Chicago is one of America's prime sporting cities. If you can't get a ticket to a game, head out from your accommodation in Chicago to cheer on the Hawks, Bears and Bulls at one of the city's many sports bars. The ever-popular Joe's Bar shows most games but can get packed out, while the Bull and Bear is where the finance types come to watch their favourite teams.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- State Democrats' annual Jefferson-Jackson fundraising dinner, originally scheduled for this Saturday at the Charleston Civic Center, has been postponed to Nov. 2.
"Everybody's tied up in Washington," Jacob Winowich, executive director of the West Virginia Democratic Party, said.
The federal government has been partially shut down since last week, after Congress failed to pass a budget.
Leaders are currently at a standstill, but Democrat members of the state's congressional delegation will remain in Washington just in case something breaks loose. The shutdown also would have made it difficult for the party's keynote speaker, Vice President Joe Biden, to make the trip to Charleston.
This year's dinner will be a tribute to longtime Sen. Jay Rockefeller, who announced last year he planned to retire at the end of his current term.
"It's a very fitting to have the largest (Jefferson-Jackson Dinner) be about our senior senator," Winowich said.
"Sen. Rockefeller's been a delegate, a VISTA volunteer, a secretary of state, governor and a U.S. senator ... not to mention president of a local college. This guy's devoted 50 years of service to the state."
Winowich said tickets for the Oct. 12 dinner will be accepted at the Nov. 2 event. Tickets are still available at www.wvdemocrats.com, or by calling 304-342-8121.
Individual tickets are $75, while tables of 10 can be reserved for $1,200. A JFK membership package - which includes two tickets to the dinner and admission to the JFK reception - will be $1,000.
Attendees also can pay $50 to send Rockefeller a message, which will be displayed on a screen throughout the evening.
Democrats also had to delay the 2012 Jefferson-Jackson Dinner after a freak October snowstorm caused by Hurricane Sandy tore down trees and power lines around the state.

If you don't care whether the San Francisco 49ers or Baltimore Ravens win the Super Bowl on Sunday, the East Bay offers plenty to do that afternoon that has nothing to do with football.
If you're planning a non-sports outing or know of such events, let us and your fellow Patch readers know about them in the comments section.
Here are few suggestions:
- Get to know the neighbors! There's a neighborhood meet & greet at 600 Susana St., Martinez, with neighborhood police Officer Rodney Brisner at 2 p.m.
- Meet and greet the artist b JAXON showing his Jazz Collection Series at the Agave Restaurant and Grill, Concord, at 5 p.m.
- Register for Sugi Yoga training (the training starts Saturday, March 2) at the Windbell Wellness Center, Pleasant Hill.
- 'Old Wicked Songs' is a play about a piano prodigy showing at 2:30 p.m. at the Lesher Center for the Arts in Walnut Creek.
- The Lawrence Hall of Science in Berkeley is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. that day. One of their ongoing exhibits now is Science on a Sphere, which features an animated globe where you can watch hurricanes form and tsunamis roar.
- If ghosts are more your thing, there is a paranormal conference being held all day Saturday and Sunday. The highlight of the Grey Ghost Paracon is an investigation of the supposedly haunted U.S.S. Hornet docked in Alameda.

Convicted rapist Free-King Afrika blew the bard out of Othello Cheeks to win Name of the Week Week 9. In Week 10, an Elrazor goes near a Johnson. Careful!
Elrazor Sharp: He's a running back at Malone College of the Mid-States Football Association, an NAIA school in Canton, Ohio, home of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. We hadn't heard of it either.
At 5-10, 260, Elrazor isn't built like a slasher. But the beef has never slowed him down, as he carved single-season team records for touchdowns (20) and points scored (120) at Minnesota West Community and Technical College before making the big leap to Malone.
He may have enrolled just to be in the company of other great names. Elrazor plays alongside the likes of Justin Jump, Shelby Santizo, Anthony Body, Kyle Slutz and the fearsome Kapostasy brothers, defensive back Cody and linebacker Kevin.
We love the El. Did his parents think ``Razor'' alone wouldn't be distinctive enough? Did they fear it might be too clichéd even for NOTY? Were they friends of the family of Antwaan Randle El? Did they want to ensure their son a place alongside minor-league baseball name legend Razor Shines? Did they consider Elknife, Eltack or any of the sharp scales?
(Thanks to NOTY reader Amy.)
Treazure R. Johnson: It was big news in the legal world a couple years back when the one-name Washington, D.C. firm Venable LLP made a hire to grow its securities litigation and white-collar defense practices. As one of the venerable Venables put it:
``Treazure Johnson brings a formidable set of trial, enforcement and investigative credentials to our practice. ... Having led a number of high-profile prosecutions, Treazure adds major value to our securities litigation, white-collar defense and corporate governance work, all of which are critical to the firm.''
Treazure also brings a formidable name and major value to NOTY. Like her opponent this week, she's got an off-the-hook first name with a delectable spelling twist. Of course, we wonder what was wrong with the conventional spelling. As if Treasure wouldn't have been different enough? What were the Johnsons going for? A play on the color azure? NOTY immortality? (For the record, we envision a day when NOTY plays a role in baby-naming conversations everywhere.)
Treazure Johnson. It's a command! OK! The middle initial is a helpful reminder. We will treasure ours! An Asian middle name like ``Mai''—who doesn't love that video-game hottie—would have been overkill.
At the Securities and Exchange Commission's enforcement division, Treazure was part of a team that successfully prosecuted Sunbeam Corp. and its chief, ``Chainsaw'' Al Dunlap. She could be just the lawyer to help us unravel the greatest unsolved crime in NOTY history: the perfectly executed hoax that led to the election of Mummenschontz Bitterbeetle and Licentious Beastie as the 1994 and 1999 NsOTY and then to the Hall of Name—and finally to their banishment last year. (Separate post to follow someday soon.)

Name of the Week: Elrazor Sharp v. Treazure R. Johnson
Wednesday, June 27, 2007
You Talkin' To Me? Well, I'm the Only One Here.
When NOTY reader Luke Halpert, a young New York sports blogger and regular Deadspin commenter with the handle Cooler Than Warm Milk, emailed us the name Jean-Pierre Pierre, we weren't impressed. Cute, but in a brave new world populated by the likes of Reprobatus Bibbs, Dominitrix Johnson and Destiny Frankenstein it's going to take a lot more than a Haitian double Pierre to get on the NOTY ballot. But Luke included a link, and we clicked through, and it was a photo that he had savvily shot with us in mind, and our hearts took a bumpy ride down the potholed streets of the city that never sleeps.
When we hop into a New York City taxicab, we do two things. We tell the driver our destination and we look at his hack's license, not necessarily in that order. Because there is no bigger smile than glancing through the bulletproof plexiglass and seeing a quality name.
We asked NOTY Committee Member TFH to describe how he felt when he saw below the photo of his cabbie of African descent the words
which at the time, when the cabbie's last name appeared atop the first, translated to Excellent Raymond:
The feeling could be described as that of a card player after being dealt a straight flush. Or going through a bin of old LPs at a garage sale, seeing the typical Rush and Laura Nyro records you've seen in a thousand other bins, when suddenly the Cornelius Brothers and Sister Rose album you've been looking for since 1982 appears.
Beautifully said. From Marty Scorcese's Taxi Driver to Tony Danza, Danny DeVito, Marilu Henner, Andy Kaufman and Judd Hirsch's ``Taxi!,'' the New York cabbie has been a symbol: of fear, anger, striving, rage, silently suffering obnoxious asshole fares, reckless driving and the occasional autoerotic act. In his review of Taxi! A Social History of the New York City Cabdriver, ur New Yorker Pete Hamill called the yellow-cab hack ``the most enduring oppressed minority in New York City history.''
We couldn't agree more. Which is why we've always given the cabbie a good tip, and his onomastic due. NOTY and the modern cabbie grew up together in the 1990s. In the couple of decades before, the American-born, Brooklyn-accented, weakly named Jewish and Irish driver's-seat raconteurs were gradually replaced by a new generation of immigrant dreamers from Haiti, Senegal, Nigeria, Russia and Pakistan, many with serious NOTY chops.
Excellent Raymond has been by far our biggest taxicab score. For TFH, it holds the where-were-you-when power of the Kennedy assassination or the first lunar landing. ``It was 5:30 AM,'' he writes, ``and I hailed the cab on West 89th Street b/t CPW and Columbus. I was going to Lower Broadway to shoot the victory parade from the first Iraq War.'' (Editor's note: We don't think he'll have to endure that assignment again.) Soon after, Excellent Raymond—you can't say one without the other—was elected the 1992 NOTY and then joined the inaugural class of the Hall of Name.
Naturally, other NYC cabbies have been nominated, too. There was Muhammad Muhammad. Diogenes Lopez. Innocent Adimeili. The appropriately named Hermon Hackshaw. And now Jean-Pierre Pierre.
Luke aka Cooler Than Warm Milk was cabbing it home from a Chinese restaurant near the Maritime Hotel in Chelsea when he realized who was driving. He was ``thinking that this was one of the great names of all time and about halfway through the cab ride I realized I should send this to you guys.'' For which we are eternally grateful.
That we don't love Pierre squared as much as Luke loves him is beside the point. What matters is the thrill Luke was lucky enought to experience. Because, sure, we could comb the New York City Taxi & Limousine Commission's registry of drivers. But nothing compares with the full-body frisson of a chance encounter in the back of a cab.

`Fo' Shizzle My Nizzle' Should Work, Too
This just in to the NOTY Action News Room:
WELLINGTON, New Zealand—New Zealand authorities have blocked a couple's bid to officially name their new son "4real," saying numerals are not allowed.
Pat and Sheena Wheaton said they decided to name their new baby "4real" shortly after having an ultrasound and being struck by the reality of his impending arrival.
We're hoping that New Zealand's Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages comes to its senses and validates Baby 4Real. In case it doesn't, the sheep-loving staff at Kissing Suzy Kolber took time off from hanging out with Michael Vick, tapping Roger Goodell's phone, and very, very ably managing the Sarah Shahi fan club to brainstorm some solutions for the happy couple. Then they emailed them to us.

Name of the Week: Free-King Afrika v. Othello Cheeks
After a brief early-summer hiatus, the NOTY Committee is tanned, rested and ready. When we last convened, Jeopardy! loser Tigger Jourard nipped Quebec hooper Manix Auriantal in an all-Canadian Name of the Week Week 8. This week, an all-courtroom NOTW.
Free-King Afrika: Back in 1985, a judge in New York state dropped 10 to 20 on one James Jenkins, AKA James Davis, for rape and sexual assault. Like other prisoners before him, he apparently decided to turn his life around. Not by finding God or keeping his nose clean. He set his sights higher still.
He set his sights on Name of the Year.
Yes, James Jenkins AKA James Davis changed his name in the joint. To Free-King Afrika.
Let's try to parse the meaning. Is James Jenkins AKA James Davis saying he is the king of a free Africa? That Africa isn't free? That the king of Africa should be freed? Is he speaking colloquially, and disrespectfully, about ``freaking Africa?'' Or is he perhaps alluding to one of the proposed origins of the name ``Africa,'' that it derives from the Greek word phrike, meaning ``cold and horror,'' and the prefix a-, or ``without''? Is Free-King Afrika saying he is now without horror?
To quote Little Carmine, this name is one mellifluous box. Free-King Afrika reminds us of former Philadelphia 76er World B. Free (above). Then you've got some Bernard King (right). And Bernard's little brother, Albert King. You probably even have some Jimmy King from the Fab Five.
But wait, there's more. You've got geography—an entire continent! (below)—and there's nothing the NOTY Committee loves more than a little geography. Just ask L.A. St. Louis and Paris London, who finished one-two in the 1998 NOTY Tournament. Free-King recalls some classic NOTY nominees, like MOVE survivor Birdie Africa and African Grant.
Free-King Afrika also raises the time-tested malletheaded debate: Is a legally changed name a name by NOTY standards? The courts have ruled yes, and the precedent has come to be known as the Dragonwagon Doctrine, after beloved 1993 NOTY winner Crescent Dragonwagon. (It's also known in some quarters as the Thunderpussy Doctrine, but that's a case we've yet to discuss.)
And we also have to wonder: Was underachieving James Jenkins AKA James Davis inspired to change his name by NOTY cellmates like Conceptualization Gibbs, 2007 NOTY No. 1 seed Intelligent Infinite Botts and the great Assumption Bulltron, who also was jailed in 1985? (Coincidence? We think not.)
We'll probably never know. Because we've seen Mr. Afrika's picture. And we've inspected his record. And we've noted that he used a ``firearm'' and a ``knife/cutting instrument'' in the assault. And he was released in December. So we ain't askin'.
Othello Cheeks: If there's one guy with the stones to ask Free-King what inspired his name change, it just might be this week's other nominee. Othello is also in the legal system, but not for offing Desdemona. Our guy is the plaintiff in a lawsuit filed last week against New York City.
Like Free-King, Othello has game. In addition to the old candy-eating, rock-swiping, anthem-singing Sixers point guard Maurice Cheeks, our man also channels Othella Harrington and Ralph Sampson's old running-mate, Othell Wilson, not to mention Ohio State's own Othello Hunter, an NCAA NOTY favorite this spring .
Better still, our moor's lawsuit arises under the civil rights law known as "Section 1983." Perfectly sensible, since Cheeks, Doc, Toney and Moses led the 1983 Sixers to a 65-17 record and a Whiz-with-onions sweep of the Lakers in the finals.

Name of the Week: Tigger Jourard v. Manix Auriantal
Candy Graham withstood the test of time and popped Rocky Cherry to win Name of the Week Week 7. This week, we're celebrating Victoria Day a bit late and Canada Day a bit early—not to mention the appearance of an ice-skating team from somewhere up there in the Stanley Cup finals—with this once-in-a-lifetime NOTW match-up of northern friends. So strap on your CCM's with the Tuuk blades, talk your way past the U.S. border guards despite your TB, and pick your favorite Canuck.
Tigger Jourard: The wonderful thing about Canadian No. 1 is that she got to be on Jeopardy! last month. The sad thing is that we don't have a transcript from the show to see whether her chat with Alex Trebek went anything like this:
AT: Our next contestant is a faculty administrative assistant at the University of Western Ontario. Please welcome Tigger Jourard!
AT: So, Tigger, you're an adult, correct?
TJ: Yes, Alex.
AT: Then why do you allow yourself to be called by the name of the bouncy, orange, striped character introduced in Chapter 2, ``In Which Tigger Comes to the Forest and Has Breakfast,'' of The House at Pooh Corner, A.A. Milne's lovable 1928 classic about Christopher Robin and the adorable gang from the Hundred Acre Wood?
AT: Our next contestant is...
We can't find any explanation on the World Wide Highway for Tigger-the-trivia-whiz's name. But we're sure there's an endearing tale about the parents' love of all things Milne. Fitting, then, that their daughter grew up to be as clever as clever.
Well, almost as clever as clever. Tigger busted out in Final Jeopardy! on this question:
The largest art theft in U.S. history was at 1:24 a.m. on this date in 1990, while Boston slumbered after partying.
We had no idea either. Until we considered the city.
Manix Auriantal: Canadian No. 2 is a 6-2 guard for the Quebec Kebekwa of the American Basketball Association, the league that starts every season with 437 teams and ends with 12. Yes, the Quebec Kebekwa. That would be a phonetic spelling of Quebecois, or Quebeckers in English. Sort of. We think. We have learned, and are disappointed to report, that the loser of a name-the-team contest was the Jumping Frogs.
Manix played for NCAA Division II New York Institute of Technology, the Ulriken Eagles in Norway, and the Montreal Royal/Montreal Matrix of the ABA, and was cut from the Canadian national team. He was a 2006 ABA All-Star along with—we shit you not—former NBA player Armen (Armon) Gilliam, who's almost as old as we are, and none other than 2007 Homophobe of the Year Tim Hardaway.
We love Manix because he's old school. Most of you kids are too young to remember the cult detective show that we really, really hope is responsible for Manix's first name. We can only imagine how the concept pitch would be received in Hollywood today:
Armenian-American gumshoe. Regular guy. So regular his name is Joe. Joe Mannix. Fought in Korea. Bigtime PTSD. Army buddies want to kill him. Drives a big American-made convertible. And here's the clincher: He uses a lot of Armenian proverbs in conversation.
But enough about Mannix. Back to Manix. His family is from Haiti. Two of his three college-basketball-playing brothers are named Hennssy, who played for Wisconsin, and Rodwins, who preceded Manix at NYIT. (Sadly, the eldest is named Ralph.) Together, the Auriantals have been dubbed Quebec's ``first family of hoops.''
We're thinking of them as the first family of NOTY.
(Thanks to NOTY readers Mark and Michael.)

The cheap $25 ones don't seem to last for me and seem to have trouble with ice and frozen fruit.
I'm willing to spend up to about $150.
ETA: I have a cousin who is getting married this fall, and works at Bed Bath and Beyond; she mentioned at her shower that their best selling, highest quality blender is the Ninja line. http://www.ninjakitchen.com/productListing.shtml
[This message edited by Amazonia at 3:24 PM, July 22nd (Monday)]
I use mine nearly daily and it hasn't slowed down at all.
The Cheater: WXH (serial cheater, 12+ OW. Undiagnosed SA?) Married 18yrs
Note: I edit often for typos/clarity.
We have found as a blender, esp. for smoothies, it works GREAT!
They advertised it (at least when we got it a couple of years ago) as being able to do all your chopping & that you could chop vegetables (going from just chopped all the way down to finely diced).
We found that really, unless you want either very finely chopped or pretty much liquified, we need to use something else.
But I'd had several blenders and a smoothie maker before the Ninja, and the only one that handled ice and making smoothies well was the actual smoothie maker - but it was difficult to clean, and we have too small of a kitchen to have a device that is dedicated only to smoothies!
However, if I had a family, I'd definitely look into the Ninja.
"Some of us don't see people how they are, but how we need them to be".....quote from Uncertainone
However, the Ninja is significantly cheaper, so that's the one I'd go for.
Ninjas are known for their ability to hide so you'll have to keep it on lock down when you're not using it.
Think of the haters in your life as sandpaper; theyll scratch you up time and time again but in the end youre polished, smooth, and spotless..while they end up useless
There are shortcuts to happiness, and dancing is one of them-Vicky Baum
It makes fine smoothies.

A magnet for newcomers, the Lehigh Valley Trail has embarked on a project to simultaneously unite the community, and preserve history.
The Mendon Foundation is in the process of building an almost exact replica of the Lehigh Valley Railroad's Freight House.
For a little more than 20 years, the Mendon Foundation has stuck to three core goals: preservation, recreation, and education.
After their establishment in 1992, the foundation obtained a sizable grant allowing them to move forward with restoring history. With help from the Monroe County Parks Department and a group of dedicated volunteers, that's exactly what they've done. They've made the rebuilding process a celebration of a long-term vision and of community. "This type of work is part of our development of ourselves in the Mendon Foundation as well as a development of properties that would enhance the community," said Warren Wallace, Mendon Foundation Board Member.
Building of the Freight House Replica is still underway, but nearing completion. An official opening of the community space will follow.

Charles Rangel on DrugsDem./Lib./Working-Families | |
Drugs affected every part of every life in my town. Senior citizens were assaulted by addicts, while addicts were fighting and killing one another and had taken over whole streets and neighborhoods. Worse, the corruption was making what was historically a bad relationship between the police became something of an enabling army for the drug dealers.
I've always felt that as you improve the quality of people's lives, the more they have at risk by dabbling in drugs. The more opportunities and options people have, the less likely they are to choose drugs. So, to the extent that African-Americans as a whole advanced sharply from the mid 80's through the Clinton 90's, a lot of the drug-related bleeding was staunched. But to this day, when you tell a kid, "Don't do drugs because you'll lose your reputation & your job," and they know damn well they have no reputation and no job to lose, and that things will not get any worse for them being involved, no amount of "just say no" is going to work.
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Rep. HOWARD BERMAN (D, CA-28): The drug crisis facing the US remains a top national security threat. This bill represents a new partnership with Mexico and Central American countries to face the immediate security threat of drug gangs, and help these neighbors build the capacity of their law enforcement agencies.
Opponent's argument to vote No:Rep. MICHAEL McCAUL (R, TX-10): We need a strategy on this side of the border: a two-pronged Approach; a comprehensive strategy that deals not only with the Mexican side but with the US side. And for too long, our border sheriffs and our Border Patrol agents have been outmanned and outgunned. And if we are going to provide assistance to Mexico, it seems to me we ought to be providing assistance to our men and women on our side fighting this war every day.
Rep. TED POE (R, TX-2): I am concerned about drugs and violence on the border, but I am also concerned about corruption. In order to gain control of access corridors in the US, drug cartels are hiring hit men from an elite force in Mexico's military. This group is known as the "Zetas." Some of the Zetas are military deserters that may have been trained in the US. $1 billion in this bill would go to Mexico. And Mexico in its arrogance objects to any conditions we want to put on this money. The administration can offer us no assurance that our equipment and training won't be used against us and neither can Mexico.
This bill amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to repeal the provisions prohibiting persons convicted of drug offenses from receiving student financial assistance.
To permit the use of Federal funds for syringe exchange programs for purposes of reducing the transmission of bloodborne pathogens, including HIV and viral hepatitis.

DHEC rabies vaccination clinics set
COLUMBIA, S.C. – Veterinarians across South Carolina will join forces this spring with the state Department of Health and Environmental Control to help residents protect their pets and themselves against rabies.
"Participating veterinarians will conduct rabies clinics to vaccinate pet dogs, cats and ferrets against this fatal disease," said Sue Ferguson, of DHEC's Bureau of Environmental Health. "Vaccination fees might vary by clinic site, but no vet participating in these clinics will charge more than $10 per pet.
"Rabies is a threat to pets, wild animals and humans, so all pet owners should have their dogs, cats and ferrets vaccinated as required by state law," Ferguson said. "The contribution of local veterinarians to this annual effort provides a valuable public service to our citizens. More than 29,000 pets were vaccinated against rabies during the clinics last year."
According to Ferguson, each year nearly 275 South Carolinians are recommended by a physician to undergo preventive treatment after being bitten by a rabid or suspected rabid animal.
"Rabies is fatal once the virus reaches the brain," Ferguson said. "The most effective way to protect pets and humans from this disease is to have all dogs and cats vaccinated."
DHEC statistics show that, in 2011, there were 107 positive cases of rabies confirmed in animals in the state, including 58 raccoons, 20 skunks, 19 foxes, five cats, four bats and one dog. No cases of rabies were confirmed last year in Allendale, Bamberg, Edgefield, Georgetown, Hampton, Marion, Marlboro, McCormick or Union counties. However, positive rabies cases have been reported in every South Carolina county during the last decade.
For dates, times and locations of DHEC-sponsored rabies vaccination clinics and additional information on rabies, visit the agency's website at: http://www.scdhec.gov/rabies.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- Elston Turner had 37 points, including a career-high seven 3-pointers, to give Texas A&M a 69-67 win over Mississippi on Wednesday night.
Derrick Millinghaus made a free throw before the Rebels got the ball back after a shot-clock violation. Millinghaus hit a layup with 44 seconds left to cut A&M's lead to 67-65.
Turner then hit a jump shot from the corner with 16 seconds left to extend the lead.
Millinghaus made two more free throws with 10 seconds remaining, and the Rebels had to foul three consecutive times to get into the bonus. Turner missed his free throw with 5 seconds left, but Millinghaus missed a shot at the buzzer to give A&M (15-9, 5-6 SEC) the win.
Mississippi (18-6, 7-4) has dropped four of its last five games after opening SEC play 6-0.

Beautiful piece of furniture - easy to assemble (about 45 minutes) and went together well. Color is quite lovely - a deep mocha that is "close" to black, but definitely a deep brown. Unit seems sturdy and when assembled as followed, should support just about anything - within reason, of course. My wife & I purchased (2) of these units for our kitchen, and we love them - truly looks beautiful, and we are very happy. Unit arrives in (2) large boxes and has instructions for assembly - basic tools needed, but very easy to assemble.
Great corner shelving unit. Instructions easy to follow and assembly was easy. The only problem was that they shorted me one connector and I had to run to **** and pick a pack up as I wanted to finish assembly instead of waiting on manufacturer to send the missing connector. Sturdy and goes great in my bedroom. I love the height of the unit. I assembled it by myself but it would have been a little faster with another set of hands. The shelves are small but this is what I was looking for and it serves the purpose of holding a couple of plants, books, and knick knacks well.
Shelf is very tall and very sturdy. The color is very dark but not black so it goes with just about everything. It was pretty easy to put together once you get all the pieces laid out. You can't put much on each shelf since it's a corner shelfo, but I knew that before I purchased it. If you're thinking of purchasing this, do it! You won't be disappointed, especially for the price.
It looks great no matter where I put in any corner wall in my home. very transitional to any room and the everyone is correct, it has strong qualities and is so perfect for any bare wall. It provides a modern look to any boring living room or dining area and it looks great at the same time. yes the assembly was easy but took me about 45 minutes but since it was easy it didn't feel like 45 mins. I'm glad I got it, it's a great addition to all my furnitures.
I got two of these and put them in the corners of my husband's office at work. It really gives a formal, professional look to display awards, books or knick knacks.
Love the design. Great quality. Not too hard to put together. I ended up getting a second one for our office conference room.
The shelf is really nice overall, we had a few issues with shipping all of the items didnt arrive on the same day one box came one day and the other boxed showed up 2days later, we also had a little trouble putting it together. I love the color and the sytle of it the shelf opening are not a high as I thought a few of my vases that I purchase to put on the shelf was to tall, so make sure you measure before you purchase items to go in it.
It is a useful corner display stand. From a distance it looks fine. Our problem was assembly. Some areas had no predrilled holes and there are no actual language directions. There are several pages of drafting-type drawings with screw lists and arrows. It does require two individuals, both of whom are patient and intelligent with a strong suit for details, to assemble. It took far longer to assemble than we anticipated. The accompanying hardware was adequate and accurate counts were included. It was well packaged and double boxed.
This is very simple and clean display stand. It fits perfectly snugged in the corner, great spacing that are equidistant. This display stand is very polished and was very easy to assemble.
I have a huge corner wall that looked so empty and that's the reason why I was looking around for some type of corner unit, in which I came across this one. No doubt the price was cheap yet comes with pretty sturdy quality. Very sturdy if you just feel the panels that it comes with. Assembly is not bad at all, you have picture to help step by step which is very helpful. The shelves I've decorated nice pieces to add style to the way dramatically. I really like this corner cabinet, is one of the best piece I've ever bought from Overstock.

"No future, no future for you" scowled Johnny Rotten in Anarchy In The UK.
John, unlike Sid Vicious, has had something of a future beyond his time in the initial spotlight- I'm a singer in a punk band, get me out of here indeed! Sidney always had too much rope. And now Johnny wants us to frolic in a meadow covered in butter. Shame on you John Lydon.
There's a school of thought that says capitalism can never die, that as long as there is one human being alive who has something the only other human being alive wants, there will be commerce. Or at least a good fight.
So "No Future" is finally here is it? Well you could be forgiven for thinking it is, right here in the middle of the ongoing collapse of the US and world economies, and the last days of the planet's patience with our pesky species.
Even Sir Mick Jagger was once perceived by my parents as heralding not just the death of music as they knew it but also the downfall of Western Civilization, and now he sips Earl Grey tea with their Britannic Majesties.
If you were to look for survivors of Vaudeville Theater, would you find any? What about silent movie stars, any of them still around? And rock musicians are going the same way. Apart from self-inflicted departures, they too are counting down along with the rest of us to the big "Mind that bus. What bus? Splat!"
So how can we pass the time while we're waiting for the number 69 to Eternity? Why not drop by The Music History Museum.
Take my current audience. Such as it is, it appears to mainly be split into two camps.
There's the older survivors like myself, the blokes still in or talking about bands they were in 30 years ago along with the people who went to see them, all reminiscing about the old days, and how kids today just don't know how to rebel.
Then there are the young people who come across my music and writing from time to time in the Music History Museum and hopefully find something to capture their fifteen-second attention span before they move on to the next exhibit.
Me? I'm quite happy here in my glass case, carrying a thirty year old picture of myself around in my head. I'm happy to help young and old alike pass part of a rainy Sunday afternoon or a school trip to the Music History Museum. Why not drop by the gift shop, pick up one of my CDs or my book, Stairway To Nowhere.
I have quite a good view of the fire exit from here.

"No Hot Water Otherwise Fantastic Hotel"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 22, 2013
The hotel could not have a better location. It is right in the historic walled city, just a few blocks from the wall. The staff is very friendly. They make you a nice breakfast. However, the hotel did not have any hot water. This might be every hotel in the walled city. I don't know. I just know it had none. Otherwise it was a great hotel. Direct TV comfortable bed, I felt totally safe. I left my bags, including my computer with the staff on my last day and I had no problems.
"Fantastic value for the money"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 22, 2013
This hotel absolutely can't be beat for the money. Hotel was clean, very well located, rock solid air conditioning in the rooms (a must!) and a nice big comfortable bed. The rooms were not huge but had a ton of character and were quite charming. The staff is friendly and most of them spoke decent english (although not always, which is pretty common in Cartagena). Don't expect to "lounge by the pool" though. The pool is more charm than function as the courtyard is quite small. The only negative was that breakfast was pretty mediocre... but hey for free I guess we can't complain. There's an excellent cafe called "Mila" a 2-minute walk away. If you're looking for a typical local place to stay that doesn't break the bank, Casia India is the place to be.

Project supports the education and development of children and youths in Sierra Leone by providing scholarships, school & teaching supplies and leadership training. By supporting education, this project is supporting economic development as education is a proven path to individual and national development. The leadership training / development component challenges youths and young adults to become creative and forward-thinking leaders. Overall the project focus on character development.
Sierra Leone ranks at the bottom in United Nations Human Development Index. Thousands of families live below the bread line and simply cannot afford to send their children and youths to school. Many families and schools do not have the resources to provide much-needed school and teaching supplies. Many of the problems in Africa are leadership-related as they are partly or wholly a result of wrong decision-making and poor leadership.
By providing scholarships, teaching and school supplies, students will be able to continue school and to learn effectively. This will help to empower or enhance student learning and reduce the illiteracy / school drop-out rate. Youths and young adults will be trained on how to creatively find a solution to the challenges that the nation is facing and how to be forward thinking leaders. Workshops and personal development resources will help build character and mature leadership.
Project contributes to the achievement of UN Millennium goal - ensuring that children will complete primary schooling. It is an effective long-term investment to eradicating poverty and will help improve the quality of education. Through the leadership training, the youths and young adults will be fully prepared on how to be creative and forward-thinking leaders. The beneficiaries, and the people they interact with, will make better decisions that will affect the course of the nation.
Total Funding Received to Date: £8,138 Remaining Goal to be Funded: £2,995 Total Funding Goal: £11,133

SXU encourages students to bring an international perspective to their degree. Student's can fulfill general education (including the global studies requirement) and/or major/minor course requirements through study abroad. Students can participate in short-term or semester abroad programs. SXU offers short-term study tours (one to three weeks) with SXU faculty and students. These study tours are part of a semester long course with travel during school breaks (winter break, spring break or summer semester). SXU students have the opportunity to participate in a semester or academic year abroad through program providers with college students from across the U.S.
Saint Xavier University Credit
Student's participating in short-term programs led by SXU faculty will register for the associated course(s) at Saint Xavier. A student participating in a study abroad program sponsored by another accredited U.S. or foreign university may earn Saint Xavier University credit provided the student obtains course approval in advance of the semester abroad. Upon receipt of an official transcript from the non-SXU sponsored program, the courses will be listed in the student's academic record according to the pre-approved SXU course equivalents. Grades earned abroad will be applied toward the student's cumulative GPA.
Participating students in a short-term or semester abroad program are required to be in good academic standing and be 18 years of age or older by the program departure date. SXU sponsored programs require a minimum cumulative 2.0 GPA (or higher depending upon program requirements). SXU course prerequisites may apply.
To participate in non SXU sponsored program, students are required to have completed a minimum of 30 credit hours in residence at SXU (minimum of sophomore class standing) and have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 (some programs may have a higher GPA requirement).
SXU students are not permitted to study abroad in destinations under a U.S. State Department Travel Warning.
Financial Aid
Federal and state financial aid, and some SXU institutional aid, can be applied towards the cost of a non SXU sponsored semester or academic year abroad program. Before applying to a study abroad program, students should consult with the Saint Xavier University Financial Aid Office.
Study Abroad Opportunities
Each fall, the Center for International Education hosts a study abroad fair inviting SXU faculty, program providers and returned study abroad students to discuss study abroad opportunities with interested students. Student's are encouraged to plan for their semester abroad as early as possible to get started. For more information, interested students can contact the Center for International Education Director, Colleen O'Hara, at email@example.com.

Microsoft's Photosynth iOS app, which has been available to US users for almost a year, is now available worldwide and includes a couple updates.
In its blog post today, Microsoft says the app has passed six million downloads since its US-only launch last April.
The app is now in version 1.1.3 and is available to iOS users around the world. It includes performance tweaks specifically for iOS5 users and adds Twitter sharing, too. Previously, photo panoramas could be shared on Bing Maps and Facebook.
If you're not familiar with Photosynth, it's an underrated product that makes it almost brain-dead simple to create photo panoramas without any additional stitching/editing required. The app itself does all the work and the user chooses where the upload/share the final panorama.
The search marketing angle to this is pretty simple: It's like a do-it-yourself store photo tool for Bing Maps. A local business owner could use Photosynth to create a panorama inside his/her facility, then upload it to Bing Maps. If the imagery is tagged with the name of the location, it'll show up on the business listing — see the Museum of Flight in Seattle on Bing Maps for an example.
