Sad, I live ten minutes outside of Austin and I thought the President came to Austin yesterday.
Good West Coast morning Chipsticks & TOD family.
Maybe I'm seeing something that wasn't there, but yesterday President Obama used Gov. Perry to beat back all of his critics clamoring for him to do something about the crisis at the border. I'm starting to wonder if President Obama is really this good. In one twenty-minute press conference President put Gov. Perry and the entire Texas delegation and the Republican Party in a box. If they approve the supplement then President Obama would be credited with solving border crisis, if they deny the supplement then the Republican Party will look like partisan hacks. I really shouldn't be shocked at what happened yesterday, I mean after all, President Obama has been eating the Republican's lunch since day one.
I think it's called rope-a-dope.
It's also used in Far East martial arts — is it jujitsu where you capitalize on the momentum created by the aggressor against that person, which evens the playing field for tiny persons against giants?
Of course President Obama's calm demeanor to attacks drives RWNJ even crazier and encourages even more outrageous claims, which sadly are then repeated like the propaganda parrots they have become.
Love the saying, "give 'em enough rope…"
In Brooklyn, when I was growing up (dinosaurs still were roaming the earth) we had an expression 'laying chickie" which roughly translated meant "ambush."
That ancient expression deeply buried in my memory came back to me in 2007 when I observed Senator Obama's manner of dealing with one opponent after another.
Good luck to any and all who oppose Our President. They will lose.
Egg sackly, Don. Brilliant President demonstrating his superior skills once again. A thing of beauty.
He really is that good. And he did with such ease and aplomb that it may take some time for the media and the GOP to realize what just happened. They are not quick studies. This sentence pretty much sums up yesterday.
In one twenty-minute press conference President put Gov. Perry and the entire Texas delegation and the Republican Party in a box.
He told Dem donors he has wistful memories of Austin. He remembers as a candidate just walking into a local honky-tonk & singing on stage.—

Knoller is such a dick.
In two and a half years he can go back to the honky -tonk and sing on stage. Maybe he could go on the show, So you think you can sing? Oh I'm sorry that's so you think you can dance?
I go away for two days and I return to blue boxes under each comment. I hate being late, but I humbly ask can someone tell me what the blue boxes are about?

Fewer Americans than forecast filed applications for unemployment benefits last week, a sign the job market continues to strengthen. …
"The declining trend in claims is very encouraging, and is further evidence that the strong payrolls number we saw for June is not a fluke," said Ryan Sweet, senior economist at Moody's Analytics Inc. in West Chester, Pennsylvania, and the most accurate forecaster of jobless claims in the past two years, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. "The labor market is gaining momentum. This is consistent with strong gains in consumer spending. …

But Rep. Van Hollen, they can't pass unemployment benefits, pass a jobs bill, which would put people back to work fixing our roads and bridges, but they can hold votes to repeal Obamacare 50 times, investigate Benghazi for the 100th time, it seem like a 100 times A waste of taxpayers money..
The people camping overnight to see POTUS know when a good thing comes around. And it usually comes only once. Therefore, they would not miss the chance to see their President. I would do the same!
No Child, So would I, I would camp out to see only two people, POTUS and FLOTUS. :)
Germany asks CIA station chief to leave over spy row
Germany took the dramatic step Thursday of asking the top U.S. intelligence official in Berlin to leave the country, following two reported cases of suspected U.S. spying and the yearlong spat over eavesdropping by the National Security Agency.
The move reflects growing impatience in Germany at what is perceived as U.S. nonchalance about being caught spying on a close ally
It is my hope that the moles are keeping a very low profile. Some of them might be in their teen-age years.
Merkel and her flock make me laugh. What about those spies she has around here and everywhere?

LONDON (AP) -- Arsenal made a half-year pretax profit of almost $80 million, thanks mainly to the sale of Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri.
But the Premier League club's debt rose by 39 million pounds ($62 million) to 137 million pounds ($217 million) in the six months to Nov. 30.
Arsenal has struggled on the pitch this season, with the team highly unlikely to end a seven-year trophy drought. But the club swung back into a 49.5 million pound profit in the first half of its financial year, compared to a 6-million pound loss in the six months to Nov. 30, 2010.
Chairman Peter Hill-Wood said "it has been something of a roller-coaster season."
Profit from the sale of players was 63 million pounds ($100 million).

Mustard Spaetzle and Cabbage
Tom Bivins, Crop Bistro & Brewery
Yield 4 entrée or 8 appetizer portions
3 eggs
1/3 cup Milk
¼ cup Grain Mustard
½ cup water
Pinch of Kosher Salt
Pinch of black pepper
Pinch of Nutmeg
1 TB. Herbs (parsley, tarragon or sage), finely chopped
9 oz. All Purpose Flour
½ cabbage, shredded fine
4 oz. Butter
Combine the eggs, milk, grain mustard and water in a mixing bowl with a paddle attachment. Season mixture with salt, pepper, nutmeg and herbs. Add all the flour and beat on medium speed until smooth. Allow the mixture to rest covered for 1 hour.
While the mixture is resting, finely shred the cabbage- removing the core and leaving only the leafy pieces. Blanch briefly and run under cold water. Drain well. Set aside.
Heat a large pot of salted water to a simmer over medium heat. On a separate burner, heat a large sauté pan or frying pan with butter. Work the mixture through a spaetzle maker or a colander into the simmering water.
When the dough comes to the top of the pot, remove it with a slotted spoon. At this point, you can toss into cold water to chill down immediately or toss immediately into the sauté pan and cook to a golden brown. Add the cabbage and continue cooking. Serve with beer!
Add grilled brats or knockwurst or diced ham, chopped bacon or even top with a poached egg. If you don't like cabbage try kale or other leafy greens.

MMM- Hahaha. Thanks dude. I always tried to be in shape, though a few I would like to forget. One thing that sucked about the amateurs is you only had an hour or two before you fought, so you had very little time to rehydrate. So usually I felt much quicker and better sparring in the gym than at the fight itself cause I almost always lost those last few extra few pounds the wrong way.
Man Blaze... I am disappointed in you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I have been busting your balls for so long to see you in action with no luck, and all you do is offer excuses. Joking. So I post a few of my old fights and you give me no response whatsoever. And I was looking forward to your response. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wtf.gif)
LLjr... See ya tomorrow kid. Oh... what the heck is this Nick H. maybe going to SV??? This is not true is it?
I figured no one would want me to post since I haven't shown anything and that if I did post,guys would jump on me..Also,it takes a lot longer to type with one hand so I haven't been on too much..Also,the pain killers got me fucked up..hahahaha..That's the only good thing though..
You're a warrior LL..You love gettin into it and from what I've seen,you've also got a good combo of D and counterpunchin at short range..Good speed..Also,you can take a shot too..Your left hand is your better hand in my opinion..Your left hook is sweet looking when short and while your arm is in an L shape so you'd get real good power on the shot..Those shots had some heat on em..hahaha..Your right hand looks strong..It could be shorter and straighter but atleast you maintain balance when they are wide even though you're open for a second..Yet,seem like a hard guy to hit though..I don't remember your record but I bet you gave a lot of guys problems..The best way to fight you would be to box from the outside and not let you get close..hahaha..No wonder your name is Lil-lightsout..
That backyard fight was so bad ass..You're the man..This shit took me 20 mins to write..hahaha..

You have some power, but you know what is scary? I would have added at least 75% to that if I had you underneath my wing and even up to 150% give or take. You could have been a star kid.
I am still training Jonathon but he is sidelined for the time being and am confident he will be a star, though he still needs a bit more masculinity and try grow a beard or moustache, that is something he can work on in his time off. At the moment, he only has some bum fluff above his lip.

LLjr- Oh, ok. Just a rumor.
Ollie- Thanks man. Many people told me that my style was better suited for the pros. I should post a clip of that dude moaning on the ground after being down. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
Blaze- Thanks for the compliments dude. Sorry to hear about your hand, wish you a speedy recovery. Pretty good assessment of me. When I would spar, I am mainly a counter-puncher, that likes to throw straight rights. But in my fights I would loop my rights too much IMO, and I would be way more aggressive in actual fights.
JTrainer- If only I could have had your guidance and knowledge... We'd be ruling this game. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Okay... here is another fight from the backyard brawl. It's actually quite entertaining. These were both two of my friends who did not like one another all that much. The one dude would be pissed if he ever knew I posted this, lol.

Was a church turned into a boxing/karate gym. That was that kids gym and it was on a college fight card. We were the only two open fighters there, and the last fight. I remember some of the college kids that fought that day, made us look like top pro contenders, lol. It's kind of funny that in the first round he threw a right at me and it hit me in the left shoulder(shoulder roll) and knocked me off balance and I got called for a standing eight. I was like arguing with the ref about it hit me in the fucking shoulder. That is why in that fight in his hometown I started more just loading up bombs trying to take him out. Whats even funnier is about a year or so later my uncle showed me a write up in his newspaper saying he was 16-0 or some shit. I guess they forgot my fight with him?
Not trying to brag, but easily my best punch was my left hook to the body. I have dropped countless people in sparring with that punch. Sparring was usually controlled with power to the head where I sparred, but the body was always free game. I kept a lot of people in check with that punch. Man... I could tell you stories about...

I'm a righty as well, but my best punch is my left.
I don't know if anyone has the same problem I do, but I find it hard letting my straight right go. I just don't feel as comfortable and feel like I am much more open. My left is my punch and feel that much more comfortable and confident throwing it than my right.

I would say that is not a real problem, just a natural thing many feel. Every time you commit with the right you are obviously more exposed and open to a counter. You should know from all your years of watching boxing, how many times fighters refuse to let the right hand go. It looks easy for us on the outside looking in, but when in the ring it is not as easy to commit with the right hand. Even if I spar a little now, I mainly just use jabs and hooks to control guys. Occasionally mixing in a few right hands once in a while, just not as frequent as the left. Funny, my cousin where a body protector a lot that i love to hit and he always yells at me to throw more straight rights, lol.
I am by no means an expert trainer, but what I do is shadow box and imagine a real fighter in front of me. Set up my right with jab then throw my straight right, and picture my opponent throwing a hook or counter right at you after you throw your right. That way I am not thinking what to do next after I throw a right, my instincts let me react the proper way for a counter punch. What I am trying to say is that way maybe you would have more confidence in letting it go more often if you knew you were confident in eluding a counter punch? Make sense? Back in the day my trainer also did a lot of mitt work, and so many of the drills had you ducking counters off a straight right hand. And believe me, it helps you react better so you just do not stand there like a sitting duck.
Ever watch Virgil Hill fight? I watched a ton of his fights back in the day, man that dude ONLY used his left hand. Amazing if he would have developed a right hand to go along with it.

The Gehl Z45 GEN:2 compact excavator incorporates features that enhance productivity, operator comfort, efficiency and cost savings on the job site. The Z45 GEN:2 compact excavator includes many upgrades from the previous Z45 model.
The new Z45 GEN:2 is equipped with a 37.7 hp (28.1 kW) electronically-controlled Yanmar Tier IV emissions-certified diesel engine, which provides up to 20 percent less fuel consumption than the previous Z45 model and features an electronic throttle for precise control. Two other important cost saving features include ECO mode and auto deceleration. When activated by the flip of a switch inside the cab, ECO mode will reduce the engine speed by 10 percent without sacrificing power. Utilizing ECO mode will save fuel when full speed is not necessary. Auto deceleration mode improves fuel economy, lowers noise levels and reduces emissions by decreasing the engine speed to idle after four seconds without hydraulic movement.
Multiple improvements also have been made to the operator's compartment to enhance productivity and controllability. To address productivity, the controls on the Z45 GEN:2 have been improved to include a proportional auxiliary hydraulic rocker switch which vastly enhances attachment options. This allows the operator to adjust the hydraulic flow for optimal attachment performance. The operator can easily select standard ISO or an optional backhoe control pattern with a turn of a mechanical lever. An integrated digital display located in a highly-visible area features recordable maintenance history with adjustable time intervals and reminders.

2012 #SEC football conference schedule will be released tomorrow (Wed.) at 9 am CT (10 am ET). Catch it on www.secdigitalnetwork.com.The SEC will announce the 2012 football schedule at 10:00 a.m. Eastern on Wednesday. Could this take a little longer? Go 'Dawgs!
It is all but official, based on talking to someone with knowledge of the schedule talks, that Georgia will not play Alabama next year. A trip to Missouri early in the season (probably Sept. 8, the second week) will replace the previously-scheduled trip to South Carolina, which will be moved to midseason (probably Oct. 5, the sixth week). And it's not expected that much if anything will change with the rest of Georgia's original 2012 schedule. The four non-conference games are expected to stay where they were.Seth Emerson brings us the very latest. Go 'Dawgs!
Working through final stages of 2012 #SEC football schedule. We'll release once it's complete, but not before Christmas. #HappyHolidaysOfficial word out of Birmingham says the 2012 SEC schedule will not be released before Christmas. Well, dang. I thought the "#HappyHolidays" hashtag was a nice touch, though I think a "#ScrewYou" hashtag would have been less disingenuous. Go 'Dawgs!
The 2012 SEC schedule is not complete but should be announced soon, athletics director Eric Hyman said. Calling 2012 "a transition year," Hyman predicted the juggling prompted by the addition of Texas A&M and Missouri to the league will upset some fans.The 2012 SEC schedule still has not been released, but it's coming soon, and South Carolina's athletic director says some fans will be "upset" by the changes. Does this mean the rumor that Georgia will open against Missouri and play the Gamecocks in October is true? I have no idea, but stay tuned. Go 'Dawgs!
[Arkansas athletic director Jeff] Long was optimistic the issue can be resolved shortly after the SEC schedule is out. "Hopefully it will all come together almost at the same time," Long said. He originally believed the SEC schedule would be released by Christmas, but wasn't as confident Tuesday.AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!! (emphasis added). Go 'Dawgs!

Guest Star: "He's Not Rapping About Bling & Girls, He Can Really Tell A Story"
Wednesday, Nov 16, 2011 12:15AM
[In recognition of anticipated sophomore albums like Drake's Take Care and Wale's Ambition dropping this month, SOHH is featuring entertainment personalities each day this week naming their most favorite debut LP follow-up and seeing if it survived the often-discussed "sophomore jinx". After New York rappers Donny Goines and Kid Daytona picked Nas' It Was Written, R&B diva Syleena Johnson rolls with Eminem's Marshall Mathers LP.]
If I had to choose a favorite sophomore album, I would say Eminem's second album was my favorite of his. The Marshall Mathers LP was off the chain.
It'd almost be a tie between that and Lil Kim's second album. I pick Eminem's because it's the one that has his song "Stan" on there. Eminem is one of my favorite rappers of all time.
He's one of the coldest rappers. EVER. It's not just because he's white and he's commercial. He's absolutely one of the coldest emcees that I ever heard. A lot of people like to get into the deep and conscious rappers. Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Nas, Jay-Z might get real deep on you, and that's my boy, I like Jay-Z, but Eminem? He can do all of those elements and he can entertain you at the same time. He can be fun, funny, deep, he's cold. He can do all of those things.
When you listen to the album, you have to remember that Eminem doesn't have to talk about killing, raping, b*tches and h*es to get his point across. He can talk about real life things that people can really relate to.
And I thought it was crazy how he used that crazy fan song, "Stan." I think that he's clever and he talks about relatable things. I know he wants to throw his wife in the car all the time, but that's his personal life and what it means to him.
He's not rapping about bling and girls and stuff like that. Everybody does stuff like that. He can really tell a story. I love me some Eminem.
Debut: The Slim Shady LP (1999) Billboard Top 200 Chart: No. 2
First Week Sales: 283,000 copies
Certification: Over 5 million copies
Sophomore: The Marshall Mathers LP (2000) Billboard Top 200 Chart: No. 1
First Week Sales: 1.76 million copies

You Tell Us: What do you think of The Marshall Mathers LP?

State House News Service
---- — BOSTON — While advocates for a minimum wage increase are poised to push for a 2014 ballot question in 2014 to raise the minimum wage to $11 an hour, the National Federation of Independent Business has released a study predicting that such a wage hike, by 2015 and tied to inflation, could cost the state up to 63,000 jobs over the next 10 years and reduce economic output by $45 billion.
The report, prepared by the NFIB Research Foundation in Washington, suggested that the annual labor cost per employee for small business owners could grow $4,000 to $6,000 per employee, depending on whether the wage is indexed to inflation and at what rate it grows.
"This proposal would hit the economy like a wrecking ball and we think it's important for lawmakers to understand the potential consequences before they adopt it," said NFIB State Director Bill Vernon. "The bottom line is that Massachusetts will have tens of thousands fewer jobs, which means fewer opportunities for workers on the lowest rungs of the ladder."
The report modeled a bill filed by Rep. Antonio Cabral that would increase the minimum wage in Massachusetts from $8 to $11 in two steps by 2015. Sen. Marc Pacheco has filed similar legislation to raise the wage rate to $11 over three years.
"It's just not anywhere close to being accurate. It's what they've said in the past and it has never come to fruition," Pacheco said, responding to the report. "The same groups opposed to the minimum wage were also in opposition to passing health care reform in Massachusetts. They were also for the most part in opposition to passing new sets of energy legislation. States that we compete against did not do what we did, and we've created more jobs than they have."
Pacheco would like to see his bill pass the Legislature this session, but if not, he said he would be "all for" putting a question to raise the wage rate on the ballot in 2014. "I think the citizens of Massachusetts are far and away ahead of the political leaders, in this case," Pacheco said.
The prospects of fighting a ballot question has opposed business groups on edge. "I'm always concerned. Clearly it's a difficult issue politically. It's a difficult issue for me to get across to the general public," Vernon said.
Rep. Thomas Conroy and Sen. Daniel Wolf, co-chair the legislative committee that is weighing minimum wage proposals this session, said they are still in "learning mode" and welcome reports like the NFIB study, even if it contradicts much of what they've read to date.
The Wayland Democrat said he is not working under any timeline for a recommendation from the Committee on Labor and Workforce Development, but Senate President Therese Murray has expressed an interest in addressing the "living wage."
"We have been reading a lot of economic analysis and reports from academics and think tanks. Less from the business community, so I welcome those. But a lot of the reports point to either growth or no real effect on the economy or jobs. No deleterious effect," Conroy said.
Over the past decade, the state's minimum wage has climbed 18.5 percent from $6.75 in 2003 to $8 today. The last increase came in 2008 when it climbed from $7.50. The NFIB study reports 62,000 workers in Massachusetts earning at or below the minimum wage, which could climb to as high as $15 an hour by 2023 if indexed to a cost of living rate that grows 4 percent a year.
Vernon said a wage trend like that forecast in the study could turn problems like low teenage employment into a "full-blown crisis."
The report estimates that 58 percent of the jobs lost, even if the minimum wage isn't tied to inflation, will come from small businesses with fewer than 500 employees.
Wage hike supporters dismiss the warnings by business groups as red herrings, but Vernon said the consequences are real. "The evidence is contrary. You see in Massachusetts, a lot of these jobs lost are jobs not created. Our job growth is anemic and has been for a decade now. There might be a little bit of an increase now, but we haven't increased the minimum wage yet," Vernon said.
According to the Massachusetts Budget and Policy Center, the minimum wage has increased six times since 1995, and each time employment growth in industries with high concentrations of minimum wage workers has been more positive than total employment growth, and "markedly higher" than growth in sectors with low concentrations of minimum wage workers.
Steven Tolman, president of the Massachusetts AFL-CIO, called the NFIB report findings "bogus, fraudulent and misleading." "These are the same stupid arguments we've heard since I was in the Legislature," said Tolman, who left the Senate in 2011.
Tolman, a Brighton Democrat, said that even through a recession workers higher up the pay-scale ladder have received raises from their employers without crippling economic recovery and job growth.
"The bottom line is you can make numbers and figures work out to whatever conclusion you're trying to reach. The hardworking people making $8 an hour haven't had a raise in five years and someone wants to begrudge them a $1 raise. That is unbelievable," Tolman said.
The minimum wage debate isn't just taking place in Massachusetts. The Maine Legislature recently voted to increase its state wage from $7.50 to $9 by 2016, but could not muster the votes necessary to override a veto of the bill by Republican Gov. Paul LePage.

Thanks in large part to a dominating third quarter, the United States' men's basketball team pulled away from Argentina, winning 126-97.
Team USA took a slim 60-59 lead into halftime but outscored Argentina 42-17 in the third quarter to blow the game open. The second half surge was led by LeBron James and Kevin Durant. James scored the United States' first seven points in the third quarter. He finished the game with 18 points and five assists.
Durant then caught fire from 3-point range, helping the United States crush Argentina's upset bid. Durant made 5-of-6 3-pointers in the quarter. He finished the game as the United States' leading scorer with 28 points, including 17 in the third quarter.
With the win, the United States finished a perfect 5-0 in the preliminary round, winning Group B. They will face Australia in the quarterfinal round.

Senior Day Highlights Final Men's Soccer Weekend
FORT MYERS, Fla. – Highlighted by senior day ceremonies on Sunday, the No. 23 FGCU men's soccer team will look to win the Atlantic Sun regular season title outright as it plays host to a pair of conference contests this weekend. The Eagles face off with Jacksonville on Friday, Oct. 29 at 7 p.m., followed by the season finale against North Florida on Sunday, Oct. 31 at 2 p.m.
Sitting alongside ETSU atop the standings, No. 23 FGCU (11-3-2, 7-0) needs just one more point to clinch the outright A-Sun title. A victory or draw in either of this weekend's contests would solidify sole of possession of the championship for the Eagles. ETSU improved to 12-4-0 overall and 7-2 in the A-Sun with a 4-1 defeat of USC Upstate in its final regular season conference contest on Wednesday evening.
Sunday's contest will also be senior day for Matthew O'Shaughnessy (Trinity, Fla./Mitchell HS), Arjun Jani (Sarasota, Fla./Riverview HS), Caleib Lynch (Merritt Island, Fla./Merritt Island HS/Florida Institute of Technology), and Matthew Smith (Cape Canaveral, Fla./Merritt Island HS/Coastal Carolina). O'Shaughnessy and Jani will walk off the field for the final time as representatives from the 2007 inaugural team. O'Shaughnessy will exit as FGCU's leader in minutes played, games played and games started, while ranking in the top five in three other statistical categories (points, goals, game-winning goals). Lynch and Smith join O'Shaughnessy and Jani as the first graduating class in the history of FGCU men's soccer.
Defeating Stetson for the first time in program history with a double-overtime game-winner last Friday, the No. 23 Eagles clinched at least a share of the conference championship with a 1-0 victory over the Hatters. The victory extended the Blue and Green's A-Sun home unbeaten streak to nine games (8-0-1) dating back to last season.
The Eagles landed at No. 23 on this week's Soccer America Top 25 poll, announced on Tuesday. The ranking marks the fourth straight week the Eagles have cracked the soccer outlet's top 25. FGCU also earned a No. 25 ranking from Yahoo! Sports and received three votes in the latest NSCAA top 25 poll, which put them in a tie for 35th overall with Penn State.
Fresh-off the first Atlantic Sun Player of the Week award of his career, sophomore Deion Jones (Tampa, Fla./Freedom HS) continues to lead the Eagles with 15 points on six goals and three assists. Additionally, freshman Ryan Price (Melbourne Beach, Fla./Melbourne HS) holds four goals on the season, while juniors Cristian Raudales (Bradenton, Fla./Manatee HS) and Josey Portillo (Metairie, La./Grace King HS) have each netted three on the season. Outscoring their opposition, 25-11, a total of 11 student-athletes have found the back of the goal for the Eagles this season.
Redshirt junior keeper Adam Glick (Leola, Pa./Conestoga Valley HS) has played every minute in goal this year (1512:36) and held seven opponents scoreless, while leading the conference in goals against average (0.65), save percentage (.849), and shutouts and ranked second in saves (62).
Splitting a pair of home A-Sun contests last weekend, Jacksonville (8-7-1, 3-4) defeated Campbell, 4-3, prior to its overtime loss to Mercer, 1-0. Holding an eight goal advantage (34-26) over their competition, the Dolphins are led by Nedim Hrustic, who leads the conference with 10 goals on the year, followed by the six goals and five assists from Darko Karamatic. Goalkeeper Johnny Foley has spent the majority of time in net and has sent away 44 shots.
Jacksonville improved its record to 3-0 all-time against FGCU with last year's 4-1 win in Jacksonville, Fla. The Eagles jumped out to an early 1-0 lead, but the Dolphins rattled off four unanswered to take the three goal victory.
North Florida (3-9, 2-5) heads to Fort Myers following an overtime victory over Mercer, 2-1, and a senior night defeat at the hands of Campbell, 1-0, last weekend. Rickey Lawrence leads the Ospreys attack with seven points on a pair of goals and three assists, while Adam O'Neill holds a trio of goals on the season. For the most part, time in net has been split primarily between keepers Andrew Calise (7 goals against, 23 saves) and Tyler Willets (11 goals against, 37 saves).
In last season's meeting in Jacksonville, Fla., the Eagles took down UNF, 3-0. The Blue and Green are 3-0 all-time against UNF and have outscored the Ospreys 11-1 in the three meetings between the schools.

When Steve Pipkin graduated from college, he wanted to go into farming. But, he says, "I needed to know how to sell the stuff I was going to grow." So he got a job at a fruit market—and wound up discovering his calling. Six years later, in 1983, he opened Pipkin's Fruit and Vegetable Market in Blue Ash, and the shop has been a neighborhood institution ever since.
Much of the produce at Pipkin's is local, and Steve—along with his brother and business partner, Ben Pipkin—deal directly with farmers six days a week. When asked what sets Pipkin's apart, Steve cites the fact that he and Ben taste everything. "When we get peaches, we try to get peaches that taste good. We don't buy plums unless they taste good. We look at almost every piece of produce that we buy for quality."
Three years after Pipkin's opened its doors, Steve and Ben started selling flowers, too, and garden goods have grown into a large portion of the store's business. The outdoor garden center is lined with colorful planters, ceramics, outdoor art (curated by Steve's wife, Kim), and rows of flowers and trees. And, oh yes, Steve hand-selects the plants weekly.
The owners' attention to detail doesn't end with the stock. In addition to knowing all about the peaches and plums (and corn, and tomatoes, and green beans...), Steve can also tell you about many of the trees on the property because he planted them himself 15 years ago. "It's a lot of fun," he says. "I really like what I do, and I like the people I work with." Sounds like a pretty good business plan to us.

Julio Jones has been placed on the season-ending injured reserve list, according to the Atlanta Falcons.
Jones, in his third year out of Alabama, injured his foot in Monday night's game against the New York Jets.
PDF: Read the official statement from Falcons head coach Mike Smith
Falcons head coach Mike Smith said team doctors checked Jones out Monday night and the first reports were not encouraging.
In a press conference earlier this week, Smith said of Jones: "He'll be a hard guy to replace if we have to replace him."
Jones led the NFL in receptions prior to his injury with 41 catches for 580 yards and 2 touchdowns through the first five games.
The Falcons also announced the signing of wide receiver Brian Robiskie.
Robiskie was drafted 36th overall by the Cleveland Browns in the 2009 NFL draft out of Ohio State. He has appeared in 37 games for the Browns and Detroit Lions.

Its score is 1.8 points higher than last year, reflecting substantial improvements in business freedom, management of government spending, freedom from corruption, and monetary freedom. The UAE is ranked 3rd out of 15 countries in the Middle East/North Africa region, and its overall score is higher than the world and regional averages.Advancing economic freedom for the fifth consecutive year, the United Arab Emirates has regained the rank of "mostly free" that it last held in 2003. The economy performs competitively in many areas of economic freedom. Barriers to trade are quite low, and commercial operations are aided by regulations that support open-market policies. With a transparent and favorable business climate and a high degree of political stability, the UAE has created a dynamic environment for entrepreneurs.The perceived level of corruption has declined, but respect for the rule of law is undermined by a relatively inefficient judicial system that is vulnerable to political influence. Despite some progress, the overall investment regime remains restrictive. Read more about United Arab Emirates Economy. Close Background The United Arab Emirates is a federation of seven monarchies: Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Fujairah, Ras Al-Khaimah, Sharjah, and Umm al-Qaiwain. The government responded to demands for reform during the "Arab Spring" by initiating a $1.6 billion program to improve the infrastructure in the poorer northern emirates and expanding the number of people allowed to vote in the September 2011 elections for the Federal National Council. Abu Dhabi accounts for about 90 percent of oil production; Dubai is the center of finance, commerce, transportation, and tourism. Free trade zones that permit 100 percent foreign ownership with zero taxation help to diversify the economy, but UAE nationals rely heavily on public-sector employment and subsidized services. Hydrocarbons account for roughly 80 percent of total government revenues. Rule of LawView Methodology Property Rights 55.0 Create a Graph using this measurement Freedom From Corruption 68.0 Create a Graph using this measurement The rule of law is generally well maintained, but the ruling families exercise considerable influence on the judiciary. All land in Abu Dhabi, largest of the seven emirates, is government-owned. Non-citizens are allowed to own, buy, sell, rent, and mortgage property and invest in special areas. The government has improved intellectual property rights training requirements for judges. Corruption is present at modest levels. Limited GovernmentView Methodology Government Spending 85.1 Create a Graph using this measurement Fiscal Freedom 99.9 Create a Graph using this measurement The UAE has no income tax and no federal-level corporate tax. Different corporate tax rates exist for certain activities in some emirates. There is no general sales tax, and the overall tax burden is quite low at 7.1 percent of total domestic income. Government spending is equivalent to 22.3 percent of total domestic output. Large oil revenues have kept the government budget in surplus and public debt below 20 percent of GDP. Regulatory EfficiencyView Methodology Business Freedom 74.0 Create a Graph using this measurement Labor Freedom 77.6 Create a Graph using this measurement Monetary Freedom 83.9 Create a Graph using this measurement Regulatory efficiency has improved. There is no minimum capital requirement for establishing a business, which takes much less than the world average of 30 days. Licensing requirements have been streamlined and are less costly. Employment regulations are relatively flexible, and the non-salary cost of employing a worker is moderate. Monetary stability has been maintained, with inflationary pressure under control. Open MarketsView Methodology Trade Freedom 82.6 Create a Graph using this measurement Investment Freedom 35.0 Create a Graph using this measurement Financial Freedom 50.0 Create a Graph using this measurement The trade-weighted average tariff rate is modest at 3.7 percent, but some non-tariff barriers add to the cost of trade. Foreign investors do not receive national treatment, and their ability to invest in land is limited. In many cases, at least 51 percent of a business must be owned by a UAE national. The modern and competitive financial sector provides a full range of services, but the state presence is considerable. Capital markets are open and vibrant.

A fourth man has been indicted for a murder at a downtown nightclub.
It happened last February during a fight at the Tavo Martini Loft.
The new charges come against Robert Steel Jr. Two other men were found guilty of murder and another struck a plea deal for felony assault.
Investigators believe only one man pulled the trigger, but the others were involved in the fight leading to the shooting.

The Triangle Area consists of the three shopping centers located in the vicinity of 58th Avenue and Independence Street. The centers were built in the 1960's, and the area was once a thriving shopping and entertainment district for the City of Arvada. It had a movie theater and two department stores, along with grocery, drug and specialty stores. It was "THE Place" to be in Arvada. Over time, the shopping center fell into decline. Naturally, the City received a significant volume of calls from concerned residents about the state of the Triangle Area; most expressed how proud they are of Arvada but felt that these shopping centers didn't represent the image of their community. The Arvada City Council was concerned about the deterioration and the adverse effect the shopping district was having on the surrounding neighborhoods and requested the Arvada Urban Renewal Authority (AURA) to consider creating an urban renewal area to revitalize the old shopping district. AURA agreed to take on the revitalization of the area.
Restoration Timeline
- July 15, 2013—Council votes 6-1 in favor of the IRG/Walmart Preliminary Development Plan of Arvada Plaza.
- June 4, 2013--Planning Commission Hearing votes 5-1 in favor of the project with one commissioner absent.
- March 1, 2013—Official Filing Date.

- May, 2009-- The Triangle Advisory Committee sponsors an open house for the entire Arvada community to view the plan and provide feedback.
- Fall, 2008-- AURA creates the Triangle Advisory Committee, a 20-member group made up of homeowners, business and property owners, and stakeholders from the area to develop a concept plan for the eventual redevelopment of the Triangle Area.
- March, 2007-- The Arvada Plaza area of the Triangle is purchased by Industrial Realty Group (IRG).
- November, 2002-- Council asks the Arvada Urban Renewal Authority (AURA) to consider creating an urban renewal area to revitalize the old shopping district. AURA agrees to take on the revitalization of the shopping district and the restoration of the area.
What's Next--Upcoming Arvada Triangle Events
- Final Development Plans in process
- Environmental remediation and demolition projected for first quarter of 2014
A number of infrastructure projects costing approximately $9.1 million will be completed prior to construction.
Walmart is estimated to open sometime during the summer of 2015
Vision--Ralston Creek
As the Arvada Triangle takes new shape, it will also receive a new name, Ralston Creek. As a vibrant and critical commercial corridor for Arvada, Ralston Creek will be anchored by the newly renovated Ralston-Central Park/Hoskinson's Park on the east and the Stenger/Lutz Sports complex on the west. More information about the future of this area can be found HERE RalstonCreek.org.

- Stir in artichokes and 2 tablespoons parsley. Simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes longer. Drain pasta; toss with artichoke mixture. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and remaining parsley. Yield: 6 servings.

- This floral bedspread let you experience a good, soft and smooth-going feeling when you are in bed
How to Fold a Bedspread
- Print this article Properly folding a bedspread will keep it more aesthetically pleasing.
Folding a heavy bedspread and packing it away during warmer months will eliminate the need of adding it to the bed-making routine. Even if you are just folding it to leave at the edge of the bed in case of unseasonable weather, having a nice, straightly folded bedspread can add to the decor of a room. Making sure the bedspread is perfectly flat and lining up edges guarantees that the final bundled up spread will look perfect.
- Lay the bedspread out onto a flat clean floor. Walk around the it and pull on each side and corner until the bedspread is completely flat. Press on any bubbles or areas where the down filling may have accumulated to even out the weight distribution.
- Fold the bedspread by pulling the top two corners down directly onto the bottom two, into a rectangle shape. Flatten out the entire bedspread once more, remembering to move the stuffing around to make it an even and flat spread.
- Fold the left side of the rectangle over the right to make a smaller rectangle shape. Flatten the bedspread once more. Fold one more time left to right to make the bedspread a perfect square shape. Store in a dry place.
How to Store a Bedspread
Print this article During the winter and the colder months, you may have a special bedspread you like to use to keep you warm at night. However, because of its thickness, the bedspread may not be suitable for the warmer months, so putting it in storage is a good option. Of course, you'll want to make sure the bedspread is properly taken care of to prevent it from being nibbled by moths or its color fading.
- Fold your bedspread when you are ready to put it into storage. Most large bedspreads come in a plastic cover when purchased. If you still have this cover, place the bedspread in it. This is the best container you can use to protect it from outside elements.
- Keep the bedspread out of direct sunlight. The sunlight can quickly fade its colors.
- Place the bedspread into an airtight area (especially if you do not have the plastic cover). This can be a chest or ottoman with a sturdy lid that keeps bugs and light out. Bugs such as moths can nibble holes in the bedspread.
- Place a few mothballs around the bedspread.
- Wash the bedspread when it is time to use it again. This removes any mothball smell that may have adhered to the blanket over the months in storage.
How to Inexpensively Make a Bedspread
- Print this article Use a sheet for making a beautiful no-sew bedspread.
Bedspreads make a bedroom look neat and well decorated, but some bedspreads are expensive. Making a homemade bedspread is simple, fast and requires no cutting or sewing. If a person is really strapped for cash, recycle old sheets or purchase sheets from a local thrift store. Have the children pick out ric rac or trim, and create bedspreads for fun. The finished bedspread fits a queen size bed. This project requires no special skills, and anyone is capable of making this project.
- Iron the wrinkles out of the sheet. Lay the sheet flat on the floor with the finished side facing up and the top of the sheet facing away from you.
- Measure 4 inches in towards the center of the sheet from the left edge. Place a mark on the sheet with a pencil. Measure and mark the bottom left side of the sheet the same way. Draw a line from the top line to the bottom line with the pencil. Repeat the procedure on the right side of the sheet, and across the bottom of the sheet.
- Open the ric rac or lace trim, and set it beside the sheet. Draw a line of glue along the pencil line on the bottom of the sheet. Glue the ric rac or lace trim all the way across the line, and press down on the trim. Repeat the procedure on the left and right sides of the sheet.
- Let the glue dry overnight before using the bedspread. The fabric glue is flexible when dry, so it works well with items like bedspreads.
Tips & Warnings
- Use a sheet a size larger than the bed when making a bedspread, so it hangs over the edges correctly.
- If you want matching curtains, buy extra sheets, and thread the curtain rod through the folded edge at the top of the sheets. Hang the curtains like regular curtains.
- Make the decorations on the bedspread more permanent by sewing down the ric rac or decorative lace edging with the sewing machine or by hand. The glue holds the ric rac in place, but it is stronger when you sew it on.
- Sew on little silk roses or other items in the corners when you finish for a delicate looking spread for your bedroom.
- Wash bedspreads with glued decorative elements in the delicate cycle in the washing machine. Dry on a clothesline or in the dryer on the delicate cycle. This makes the decorative elements last longer.

Fred Couples and Jason Dufner are still tied atop The Masters leaderboard, in the clubhouse at 5-under for the tournament. But they aren't too far ahead of the pack, and a group of stars is giving chase as The Masters inches closer to the weekend.
Rory McIlroy, Bubba Watson, Sergio Garcia and Lee Westwood, among others, are just one shot back, all in the clubhouse at 4-under. McIlroy just finished up his round, cleaning up his par on 18 to head into the clubhouse at 4-under. Sergio Garcia wasn't so lucky, falling out of the lead with a bogey on 18 to finish the day at 4-under for the tournament. Westwood double-bogeyed 18 and also fell out of the lead.
Watson had an up-and-down day, beginning at 3-under, falling back to 1-under, then getting back to 4-under for the tournament with a strong back nine. He also finds himself in contention, chasing Couples and Dufner.
Tiger Woods' struggles have carried over into Friday, despite a promising start. Woods is even par for the day and even par for the tournament, though he did open with birdies on the first and third holes. The swing trouble he fought on Thursday has lingered, leading to wayward tee shots and lots of scrambling.
You can view the live Masters leaderboard here.

Heineman: Fire recovery meeting productive
Governor Dave Heineman says an hour-long private meeting yesterday with 3 northern Panhandle county commissioners about fire recovery efforts was very productive and very gratifying. Over 200,000-acres were burned in Dawes, Sioux, and Sheridan counties during a series of fires this summer, and Heineman welcomes the desire of local officials to take a coordinated approach to recovery efforts.
The commissioners...Stacy Swinney of Dawes County, James Krotz of Sheridan County, and Lotten of Sioux County...had sent the governor a list of priorities drafted at a public planning session last week so he could study them in advance. He says the move made yesterday's meeting even more productive.
Much of the burned area...especially from the Wellnitz Fire in northern Sheridan County...is state land, so the governor wants to find out what recovery help is available from Game and Parks.
Another state agency Governor Heineman plans to talk with is the Department of Roads...the result of the county commissioners asking him about the possibility used or surplus posts from guardrails or right-of-way fences being made available to local ranchers who lost thousands of miles of fences to the fires.
One of the big, immediate needs identified by last week's planning meeting was repairing county roads damaged by the fires or the heavy truck traffic from firefighting efforts. Governor Heineman hopes to find out shortly if the losses to public infrastructure were enough to trigger federal help.
The governor plans to work closely with U-S Senator Mike Johanns, 3rd District Congressman Adrian Smith, and the winner of the Deb Fischer-Bob Kerrey senate race over the coming months and years to push federal officials for as much fire recovery help as possible.
Governor Heineman plans to meet with northern Panhandle officials again in a month to 6 weeks to exchange updates.

For 25 years, the Southeastern Firefighters Burn Foundation has been raising money to care for families while their loved ones are being treated at the Joseph M. Still Burn Center at Doctors Hospital. And now they need your help to help families who need it most. WJBF News Channel 6's Barclay Bishop reports.
"If it hadn't have been for this house, and these people, I don't know what I would have done," said Rose Mills, staying at The Chavis House while her brother receives treatment at Doctors Hospital.
Rose Mills shares the same words that more than one thousand family members express every time they come through these doors at The Chavis House.
"You never know when tragedy's going to strike. It has no agenda, it doesn't favor anyone, it can happen to anybody," said Mills.
Just 3 weeks ago, tragedy struck Rose's brother, William, while he was burning a brush pile.
"He spilled the fuel and it went all over his arms and legs, the lighter exploded and oh God it was awful," explains Mills.
Every day, Jo Maypole, CEO of the Southeastern Firefighters Burn Foundation, sees firsthand how families, like Rose's, benefit from The Chavis House.
"I'm proud. I'm proud of what we do here and I'm proud of the donors that make this happen," said Jo Maypole, CEO of Southeastern Firefighters Burn Foundation.
The Chavis House has 40 beds, provides families with laundry facilities, a full kitchen, donated meals from area organizations, and much more.
"Patients just do better when their families are involved in their care and their healing process and we make that happen here," said Maypole.
"These people here have become like my family almost. They're my family away from my family," said Mills.
Some may pass by this house, which sits tucked behind some trees, and think it's nothing more than bricks and mortar. But ask anyone, like Rose, who lives inside while her brother fights the biggest battle of his life, and she'll tell you how thankful she is that it's much more.
"If anybody can donate and help this place out, they really need to. Because one day you might need them, and you just never know," said Mills.
The Chavis House runs solely on donations. And coming up on Saturday, you can help make a difference. Click on the image for more information.

4.03/5 rDev +12.6%
Appears a beautiful heavily clouded deep golden sunshine hue with a large mountainous head rises well above the rim of my glass. Retention is great and color of the head is slightly off white. Aromatics come strong with hefe esters from the unique ale yeast strain utilized which includes banana, citrus and minor tropical fruit notes along side mild clove and bubblegum tones. Flavor wise is very much like a banana smoothie with a touch of chalky yeast flavor after decanting the last few drops, but throughout the wheat malt gives off a nice refreshing citrus tone with fruity bubblegum and banana/tropical fruit notes. Mouthfeel has that classic lively carbonation and it carries the light to medium bodied brew quite nicely almost like a mimosa. As in Deutschland this would go great with breakfast and it definitely goes down even smoother during the warmer months, if more readily available this one could be a go to for the style up there with Franziskaner, Kapuziner, and Paulaner.

(Reviewed from notes while in Germany 5-3-08) This beer has a deep orange color, was hazy, with a 2 in white head that leveled into a 1/4 in cap. There was a strong citrus smell with hints of banana. The taste was of light banana, yeast and some lemon in the finish. Good beer, but not great by any means.

3.53/5 rDev -1.4%
Very malty for a hefeweizen. Some oats and clove, delicate banana aroma. The head is that of a traditonal German hefe, fine, white, wispy, cloudy, and rapidly dissipates. Aftertaste reminds of an amberbock. NB: my bottle is slightly different. This beer is ok, not fantastic. I paid 2.69 at hollingshead

3.55/5 rDev -0.8%
Presentation: Standard looking 500ml tall brown glass bottle. My bottle looks slightly different to that one shown in the BA Database; a dark orange V-shaped neck label has the words Malteser Weisse, whereas the main label has a more expanded description listing the brew as Malteser Weisse Naturtrüb with the phrase Das Bier, Das Uns Zu Freunden Macht underneath the Coat of Arms and the word Bischofshof. The back label states that the Original 1649 is brewed in accordance with the Rheinheitsgebot. Listed at 5.15% in very small text with a Best Before Date of 14.04.05.
Appearance: Murky turbid brown body that has a muddy look. The head is positively gargantuan on the pour and necessitates a slower than usual pour in an effort to pour the contents in one go, but I fail miserably. The off-white head is very creamy with a bubbly but relatively smooth surface that settles to a fine looking ½ thick head which laces nicely. Average carbonation levels.
Nose: Caramel, malts, biscuit and a light milk chocolate aroma. Some banana and cloves, but not much, only a decent hint.
Taste: Very much in line with the nose here, starts with a nice Twix-like toffee coated biscuit finger with some milk chocolate flashes. As it middles the banana toffee and cloves break into the frame as does some yeast traits. Decent finish which is not big in strength, but does linger for a while. Nice carbonation lends a spritzy feel at times.
Mouthfeel: Like a whipped up coffee made from warmed milk, this has a decent thick body that is nevertheless aerated to lend some lightness to the overall feel.
Drinkability: A tasty enough dark Wheat that has some redeeming features but is a little one-dimensional in the longer term and just lacks that something to differentiate itself.
Overall: I enjoyed this one but it isnt one that I would buy again to be honest.

Light amber color. Medium head. Aroma is malt and caramel. A medium to lighter bodied German Hefeweizen. Malts are fruity, sweet and caramel. Touches of banana and clove. I would never have guessed that this beer is a Hefeweizen, as it has so few characteristics of a hefe, but it has a nice malt backbone and a nice yeastiness to it. Very drinkable. Light and refreshing. Smooth taste. Nice beer. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

3.13/5 rDev -12.6%
Stumbled across this brew while on a resupply mission last weekend. I'm actually somewhat surprised no one has picked this particular beer up before. Well, here goes...
Presented in a .5L brown bottle (I'll take a pic of it later), this brew had a boggy brown color and a big, bubbly vanilla-hued head that quickly collapsed to absolutely nothing, zip, zilch, nada and no lace. Not a very inspiring start....
The smell was a mish-mash of biscuity caramel malt, a modest dose of clove and bananas and the vaguest suggestion of green apples . Nothing very enticing but nothing rude, either. The taste had a lot of the same elements as the nose, except the banana flavor didn't translate from the nose to the palate. Some obscure fruit flavors parried with a somewhat bread-like malt backbone. A moderate clove taste cam through briefly. The finish was slightly bittered and ended aburptly. The feel was light, lifeless and watery.
Overall, this was quite a disappointment. One of the most boring, listless hefeweizens I've let pass my lips. Don't get in a hurry to try this one; there are plenty of much better weissbiers out there.

Manfred L. alias Steve Robelle started his career as a Dj already more then a decade ago in different clubs and discotheques all around Austria and South-Germany. While his work he has always kept an eye on the different vibrations of the crowd and so he learned quickly how to create atmosphere and how to move people, make them dance and make them happy. He is definitely nobody who spins just a prepared dj-set but much more he is looking for the individual situation on each event to create the best possible set for his crowd.
His favourite style is house music mixed up with a bit of electro and minimal sounds. As resident Deejay at Viennas biggest and most popular event for electronic music, called -hypnotic-, and the club series -hype- he has a fixed position in Austriass leading event scene.
Steve designates himself - The prophet of good mood - and this spark jumps over always to his audience. He had played already at many different international celebrities events though he is still working as a Deejay in Austrias most famous clubs EMPIRE in Linz and Vienna. There he spun with international artists such as Tiesto, Bob Sinclar, David Guetta, Boy George, Antoine Clamaran, Mauro Picotto, Tom Novy, Tomcraft, David Morales, Milk & Sugar, Pippi, Robbie Rivera, Steve Lawler, Eric Prydz and many more.
Since about two years he is also very successful with his own production. Together with his co-producer Christoph Trcher from Orange Music Studios in Vienna he is permanently working on new tunes. One conclusion was FuckinHouses and their first release FEELINGS which became a worldwide anthem and great feedback from Djs all over the world. Together with Christoph he also found ORANGE ALLSTARS and they produced the massive track AFTERHOURS CLUB which was on top of numerous charts, for instance on MTV, Viva or musicANDmore and changed every club into a Hells Kitchen! The next release on FuckinHouse called MAD LOVE is already finished and nearly ready to hit the market and move the masses. So stay tuned and be prepared for upcoming news!
