Well this thread is basically about your least favorite refs.
Watched the katsidids fight against guerrero and he was freaking terrible. Robert was holding behind the head and punching he didn't count a knockdown and he deducted two points from katsidids without any previous warning for low blows when the shot wasn't intentional. Which is ironic cause in the agbeko fight he failed to call low blows lol
What are your least favorite officials?

i think cortez got the soto/lorenzo call right. soto hit the guy twice when he was down and one was behind the head. doesn't get any more blatant than that. soto deserved the dq and i wasn't surprised that the wbc overturned the foul of a mexican fighter.
i also think pat russell got the bhop/dawson call in the first fight right. bhop was clearly faking injury. he has a history of this...and russell was aware of it.
mora, caiz jr, sr, nady, draculich (cheating p.o.s who i've had a personal experience with) and cole will always suck in my eyes.
while we're at it...let's add the ref from adrade/bute 1 and the other ref from abraham/miranda 1. they're both pieces of shit too.
great refs....
tony weeks, steve smoger and kenny bayless are the best!!!

The Cedar Rapids Community School District announced on Monday that a snow make-up day scheduled for Jan. 21 will be moved to Feb. 18 instead.
School officials canceled classes on Dec. 20 due to a blizzard and then announced on Dec. 21 that the snow day would be made up on Jan. 21.
Superintendent Dr. Dave Benson announced on Monday that the snow day would instead be made up on Feb. 18. Jan. 21 will remain a professional development day for staff, and students will have the day off.
The Des Moines Public Schools voted last Thursday to move their make-up day from Jan. 21 to a day in June after an NAACP youth group collected hundreds of signatures on a petition against the decision.
Jan. 21 is also Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a federal holiday.
The Cedar Rapids Community School District has not said if the holiday was a factor in their decision.

Tuesday, superintendents from both sides of the Blue Ridge gathered to offer a common message to Richmond. They are urging the governor and General Assembly to properly fund education, but to let the locals decide how to do it best.
The superintendents say state support for public schools has steadily declined over the last six years, forcing personnel cuts and putting a heavier burden on cities and counties.
That's only the start of what they say is wrong with Virginia's education policy.
In a room full of top administrators from Fluvanna to Rockingham, there was little support for the A-to-F school-grading scale, passed by the General Assembly.
"If we were to issue a grade to legislators related to providing sustainable funding for education... for transparency of their vision for public education... in all due respect, we would only need one grade, not five," said Gena Keller, superintendent for Fluvanna County Public Schools.
These educators, who represent 20 school divisions and more than 100,000 students, say the grading scale is far too simplistic. They say Virginia's commitment to public education is best shown through investment.
"As leaders, we have a moral responsibility to fund public schools in a manner that every child would get a powerful school experience," said Scott Kinzer, superintendent of Harrisonburg Public Schools.
Several of the superintendents and school board members say the state is instead taking money away from public schools and putting it toward private efforts that have less accountability.
"If the belief truly is that a charter school or a private school can do so much better if they don't face the same constraints as politicians put on public education, then let's remove those constraints and let the public educators do the job they're capable of doing," said Lowell Fulk, member of the Rockingham County school board.
The superintendents say another misguided effort is the bill to create the "opportunity education institutions" to rescue failing schools. They say it removes local control and has been proven not to work in other states.

Students auditioned in September and October in a rigorous process that included singing an Italian art song by memory, singing scales, tonal memory exercises, and sight-singing. Students who were accepted first participated in three regional honor choirs. Humboldt County sent three students to the Coastal Region Honor Choir in Aptos, Calif., last November. Along with Alex Wilson, Fortuna High School student Kevin LoMiglio and Eureka High School student Trevor Lynn represented Humboldt County at the Coastal Region Honor Choir.
Regional Honor Choir participants with the highest audition scores are invited to sing in the All-State Choirs. Students rehearse for three days and then perform in a concert in March. Fortuna High School music teacher Dr. Sarah McClimon noted the importance of the honor choir experience. "The Regional and All-State Honor Choirs are a very special educational experience for students. They learn very challenging music in an intensive rehearsal period, while meeting other outstanding musicians from high schools throughout the state. After the performance, these students return and share their knowledge with their choirs at home. Alex is an exemplary musician and a great citizen. He will represent Fortuna High School and Humboldt County well at the State Honor Choir."
Alex is an active musician at Fortuna High School where he sings in two choirs, plays alto saxophone in the Jazz Express, and plays baritone horn in the Symphonic Band. He recently sang a solo for the Fortuna High School Music Department Winter Concert. Alex's travel is supported by the Rising Stars Foundation, through the Humboldt County Office of Education.
For more information, please contact Sarah McClimon, music teacher at Fortuna High, at 707-725-4461 or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.

This bathrobe is great! It is highly absorbant and will take the place of or greatly minimize having to towel off after a bath or shower. It eliminates the need to try and reach those hard to dry places. A great gift for someone who has problems going through the excercise of drying off due to health or range of motion issues. Very relaxing for anyone regardless of abilities. Pamper yourself and others with this great robe at a reasonable cost. Design is truly unisex and works for men or women. You will enjoy this indulgence!

I recently purchased the Turkish Bath Robe, I LOVE IT! Its large enough to wrap up in completely . It is oversized and I would have ordered a smaller size if I had known this before hand, the XL would accomodate a 300 pound male without seeming small. The quality is great and it comes out of the laundry like new...thanks for a great product.

My boyfriend wanted a turkish cotton robe. I thought I was saving some money buy purchasing this one instead of the hammer schlemer robe for $120. After reading the reviews I took the suggestions and ordered a larger size. When it arrived the first thing I did was feel the fabric. I was very disappointed. It fealt like a lined dried towel....not what i was expecting at all. So back to salt lake city for the robe and ....good luck!

We were preparing for houseguests and I ordered four robes. I am very pleased with the quality and the price. Our guests were delighted as well. They wash well and are very comfortable.

I bought two of these robes in my order and they are both holding up quite well. I use them for after the shower, or for trips between the house and the hottub. They suck up a lot of water when you put them on, which is great when you need to head inside without much of a delay.

I bought this robe for my fiance's birthday. He LOVES it! It came with a few stray strings that were easily clipped away. I was a bit disappointed that the length was not longer for him...he is 6' 3" but it does manage to come just below his knees. However, he really likes it. I washed it for him after he opened it and shrinkage was very minimal and it is so soft! He wore it to a recent trip to Ojo Caliente and not only looked very handsome but was comfortable and warm inbetween trips to the mineral waters.

I'm so glad I got this robe, I was also considering Salbakos terry robe, but this is much better quality then terry cloth. It is so soft, like putting on a high end towel after a shower. As soon as I put it on I am instantly dry. I don't even use a towel to dry myself anymore. It is very luxurious and absorbent. I washed it as soon as I took it out of the package. It came out great after the wash and much softer. It fits great too. I'm 5'2 and it comes to my ankles. I absolutely love this bath robe.

This is a decent robe for the price. It's soft enough, and roomy, like you'd expect from a terry robe. What keeps this robe, even for the price at 4 stars instead of 5, is the weight. I guess from the description, we were expecting something a little heavier. The price is equivalent with the quality. Overall, it's a fine robe.
Fri Jul 11 00:00:00 MDT 2014janeekbatani Rating:3.0
The fabric was very thin and will be a good weight for hot weather but for colder weather you would want something thicker.

The robe is quite soft, though not as soft as the Calvin Klein spa robe my BF has, but his isn't organic either. I like the fit of it. I'm 5'7" and slender. I did think the sleeves were short at first, but have decided that is a good thing as I'm not having to roll them up to clean the countertop or rinse my face. I also find the robe absorbent.
Tue May 31 00:00:00 MDT 2011barbtag1 Rating:5.0
Great Robe! Soft and cuddly. Perfect fit as represented. I bought it for my daughter to take to college. She loves it. It is a great value. It is perfectly thick and yet not too thick. You won't be disappointed!
Mon Mar 26 00:00:00 MDT 2012kitchenfairy Rating:4.0
This is a beautiful soft and warm robe. I will caution you that it runs very large in size. I don't know who they are sizing this for, but order at least one if not two sizes smaller than what you normally wear. I took the advice based on other reviews and ordered the Medium. I should have ordered the Small as the Medium is really a large. I normally wear a large in clothing so I figured a medium would fit, but a small would have fit me even better. The color really isn't grey, but more of a dark stone grey, not the light grey in the photo. That was the only color available to order at the time. I'm sure that I'll be wearing this robe until it is ratty and all worn out. Thankfully I sew so I can make it smaller if I choose to do so.
Wed Jan 02 00:00:00 MST 2013fuzzy100 Rating:4.0
Very fuzzy and warm, with a nice smooth and soft feel, not scratchy. Not a sexy cut, but a cozy one. I rather wish the pockets were lower so it was easy to put my hands in them. when the belt is tied, but thats my only complaint. A nice product, and If it really is organic its a great deal!

I love this bathrobe. It's exactly what I wanted. Is the quality superb? No but it's a perfect light weight, unlined, nicely finished summer bathrobe. It is very roomy. The reviews said it would shrink so I bought the lg/xlg. I did wash it and it did shrink. I am 5'4'' 135lbs and after the dryer it is still long and roomy but it is the perfect summer bathrobe.

I am hoping after a wash or two, the robe will soften up. was hoping for a "soft feel" which it does not have when first opening the package. Other than that, the robe meets expectations

Robes are great! Less expensive than most and very absorbent. The only problem we had was one of the belts was not finished properly and was shredding. Overstock's excellent customer support replaced the belt quickly.

I don't buy a robe very often. I've been looking around for awhile and not at all intrigued by what I've seen. Took a chance on this one and so glad I did! I love how BIG it is. Hangs just above the ankles and plenty of room throughout. Nice long sleeves. Gets softer after you wash it! Great value also.

I have had other "terry" robes that were far better for same cost. Robe has terry ties inside...they are thick and very bulky. The terry continues to shed on even after a few washes. Plus it should be longer. I'm only 5'3" and it's a bit too short. It will serve my needs but I am disappointed.

"Rainbows apologize for angry skies." -- Sylvia Voirol
The month of September began on a damp note at the home. The rains of Hurricane Irene, flooded basements andwashed out roadways making it impossible for some staff to get to work during their scheduled times. Thank you to all who helped cover for each other during the rains!
Residents husked their last ears of corn for the summer. A total of 48 ears were husked for dinner by Art Laidlaw, Jeanette Hansen, Patsy DeBaun and Norma Wagner. The husk remains were gathered up for Jan Scrafford, RN, to take home to her goats for their dinner. Bon appetit! On the tenth of September, a baby shower for Julia Gil's granddaughter, Lori Cabrero, was given at the home on our lovely patio. The weather was beautiful, residents and friends enjoyed lemon tarts, iced chocolate cupcakes, fruit salad, lemonade and ice tea, while baby gifts were opened by the expectant mother.
The residents of the home gave the new mother-to-be a jar full of wisdom, words and thoughts which might come in handy for the new mom and dad in the future. Julia Gil recommended that her granddaughter "rather than trying to take everyone's advice … buy a book." Smiles, laughter and a few tears were shared, making it a memorable afternoon.
Residents and staff who were born in the month of September were honored on the 16th. Among the celebrated residents were Norma Wagner, Joe Langan and Lois Warrell. Staff who were celebrating included Alex Melniczenko, Carol Affourtit, Melissa Bard, Sean Killian and Deb VanBuren.
Two days later, residents were treated to a trolley ride by Gordy Hage, son of Peg Hage. Hopping aboard, residents took in the sights of Cooperstown. Thank you, Gordy, for the wonderful surprise! With summer ending and autumn beginning, Jaclyn MacDonald, personal care, offered to host an ice cream social. Eleven residents enjoyed ice cream sundaes, on a most appropriate day … Sunday!
As the weather continued to improve, residents ventured out to the porches and took walks. Monday, Sept. 26, proved to be just one of those days for sitting on the porch and enjoying the weather. Coffee, tea and sweet molasses cookies were enjoyed by residents and staff.
Though September began quite a bit wetter than usual this year, it has also given us some wonderfully sunny and warm days, reminding us that there is always a rainbow after the storm, we just have to look!

Vacations may be a time to relax and let loose, but that doesn't mean they have to be a time to forget all about healthy lifestyles. It may be more difficult to eat right and exercise while on the move but it is not impossible. Here are some travel tips & tricks for keeping fit when traveling.
ExerciseHotels often have gyms that are free for their guests. If the hotel has a pool, pack a bathing suit and swim laps to mix up the exercise routine (and follow up with some time in the hot tub as a relaxing reward). Major chains such as Sheraton have started offering free on-demand workout videos. Fans of yoga, pilates or kickboxing can get quick workouts in without ever leaving the comfort of their room.
Running outside is always an option as well, but those in a foreign place should make sure to take precautions before venturing out alone. Keep up with travel gadget news for the latest apps that feature maps and download them to a smartphone or music player in case they're needed.
For those who don't want to bother packing workout clothes, Westin Hotels has launched a new gear-lending program. For a small fee guests can use the hotel's exercise clothes and sneakers
Travelers who prefer to take advantage of the great outdoors can work activities like hiking or biking into their travel plans. Even taking a walking tour of a destination instead of a bus can help to stay active.
Eating rightHealthy eating while traveling can be difficult, if only because of the lack of control a person has over the food selection at their destination. Constantly dining on-the-go can negatively impact the body and the wallet. Try looking for local food markets or farms with fresh goods for sale. Not only can this be a more affordable option, it also allows travelers to sample some native cuisine.
Eating at restaurants doesn't have to be the end of healthy choices. Stick to drinking water during meal times and think about choosing vegetarian options during flights, as they tend to have a higher nutritional value than others. A helpful tip for family travel is to pack healthy foods that don't need to be refrigerated for easy snacks, with items like granola bars doubling as breakfast options as well. These grab-and-go options can be lifesavers when traveling with picky young children.
Most importantly - relax! Nothing will ruin good lifestyle choices more than stress. Splurging every now and then isn't the end of the world and it won't ruin a vacation, so take a deep breath and enjoy the experience.

Did Obama approve Isaac aid just to win votes in Florida?
By Opinion Staff
Tropical Storm Isaac – later Hurricane Isaac – was a freak storm.
Though its center was hundreds of miles away, it dumped torrential rains in Palm Beach and Martin Counties.
When it came time to tour the damage, in fact, Gov. Scott put the area around The Acreage at the top of his list. And Gov. Scott was angry when the Obama administration turned down Florida's request for disaster relief. He appealed the denial.
Last week, as President Obama and Mitt Romney prepared to descend on Florida for their final debate, the Obama administration announced that Florida would be eligible for aid after all. This swing state, whose 29 electoral votes could be the key to victory, suddenly can get federal help paying for the nearly $50 million in damage from Isaac.
Isaac might have been a freak, but using federal largesse to win favor with voters is politics as usual.
And Republicans were quick to claim the administration is trying to influence the election. "This is part of (Obama's) last-ditch effort to retain viability in Florida," said Palm Beach County GOP Chairman Sid Dinerstein.
Could be. But the White House can point out that the president only is doing what the very Republican governor of Florida begged him to do. How bipartisan.
What do you think? Did Obama approve Isaac aid just to win votes in Florida? Take our poll and/or leave a comment.

Colourful tributes flow for football icon John GreenBY OSHANE TOBIAS Observer writer
MAY PEN, Clarendon — Late Clarendon football stalwart John Green was on Saturday hailed as "an icon, a great human being" and a "father to many" during a thanksgiving service at the St Gabriel's Anglican Church in May Pen.
Green, an English-born naturalised Jamaican, died at the age of 73 on Tuesday, July 10 at the May Pen Hospital following a brief period of illness.
He gave lifelong service to grassroots football in central Jamaica which formed the focal point of just about every tribute paid to him on Saturday evening.
"John has made such a tremendous contribution not only to football in Clarendon, but also on a national level. May the soul of an icon, a legend, a great human being rest in peace," said Clarendon Football Association president Michael Ricketts, who also brought greetings on behalf of JFF president Captain Horace Burrell who is on FIFA duties in London.
Green, born in Hastings, England on March 3, 1939 and educated at the University of Birmingham, came to Jamaica in 1971 following previous expeditions in Nigeria and Zambia and immediately immersed himself in community development through sports and education.
He first taught at Clarendon College in Chapelton, where he served as sports master and among other things, before going on to lecture at the GC Foster College in Angels, St Catherine.
Among those to have benefitted from his guidance is Garfield Robinson, coach of Clarendon Under-15 team, who paid a moving tribute to mentor.
He said: "Despite knowing the cycle of life — you are born, nurtured, make your mark then make your transition — there are moments in our lives when we wish time could stand still. If I could give five years of my life just to have him here today I would.
"John, you welcomed us (coaches) in the shade of your wisdom and it was good. You welcomed many youngsters in your bosom and it was good, so on behalf of all of the coaches and the many players I say thank you."
In his tribute, Central Clarendon Member of Parliament Mike Henry promised to develop the West Park Community Centre where Green spent most of his days molding young minds into a football nursery named in his honour. "He was a humble achiever; one who gave more than he received," Henry said.
Outside of sports, Green was also a dedicated businessman. "He married his love for sports and education when he (opened) Sports and Book in May Pen and Chapelton," Doreen Bailey said in the eulogy.
Carlong Publishers, with whom Green did business for years, described him as a "worthy businessman".
"He was well respected by everybody at Carlong Publishers," said Erpha Lewinson. "Rain or shine Mr Green was always on time. Mr Green was a very meticulous person; very organised and paid great attention to detail. He was an excellent accountant who got a distinction in bookkeeping."
Green, who was given the FIFA Centennial Award of Merit and conferred the Order of Jamaica, is survived by wife Alice, children Christopher, Michael, Roger, Paul and Jennifer, plus five grandchildren. His body will be cremated.

STOP the Financial Losses at Woodley Town Council
Financial mismanagement at Woodley Town Council has created record losses and massive debts. We are calling for the resignations of the Three Councillors who are responsible for budget setting (Cllrs Beth Rowland, Coling Lawley & Alan Clifford). Woodley residents pay dearly for their mistakes: a Woodley Band D taxpayer pays £114.65 a year yet in Earley they pay £60.77.
1.The District Auditor has just severely criticised Woodley Town Council for not providing value for money for its taxpayers
2.Residents are heavily taxed to subsidise Bulmershe Leisure Centre to cover £189,000 losses
3.Leisure facilities have combined losses in 2008/09 of £298,668 up from £261,282 the previous year

Real live NFL action will be kicking off in just a few days! I'm so excited! And I just can't hide it! I'm about to loose control and I think I like it!
Marc Trestman made great strides with the offense of the Chicago Bears, but his defense had a precipitous fall from grace. Do you agree with the Sporting News' placing him 25th among NFL coaches?
This is the second to last NFL Thoughts before we can actually have real thoughts about actual NFL rookies and their brand new teams. Just ten more days until the Draft!
The Divisional round of NFL playoffs weren't quite as exciting as Wildcard weekend, but I think we have the best match ups set up for Championship Sunday. Check out my thoughts on the NFL, and be...
The read option is often called a "college offense," but it made the Bears defense look like a Pop Warner team. Here's how the Seahawks read their way to a win.
We're more than just Chicago Bears fans around here. It's football 24/7 for some of us, so enjoy our look around the NFL.
The Bears have camp set for 6/3, that's also the NFL court date. Stop by for the latest Lockout news.
So now you want them to 'get off the bus running'?
A look at Lovie Smith's search for a date to the 2010 Coordinator's Ball. After getting turned down, coach-blocked, and then turned down again... who will eventually dance with Smith?
The Bears obviously will look at a new offensive coordinator for the 2010 season. Is USC Assistant Head Coach Jeremy Bates a good fit? Yes.

Actual news items from spring training. Finally.
The Minnesota Twins have signed left-hander Rafael Perez to a minor league contract.
Can Rafael Perez fill a LOOGY role in the Tigers bullpen, or is his recent decline more worrying than we first thought?
The Cleveland Indians reinstated Nick Hagadone to the 40-man roster, and designated Rafael Perez for assignment.
The Cleveland Indians designated left-hander Rafael Perez for assignment to make room on its 40-man roster for left-hander Nick Hagadone.
The Cleveland Indians claimed right-hander Blake Wood from the Kansas City Royals over the weekend, capping a sereis of roster moves that leave two open spots on the squad's 40-man roster.
Pitchers return to roster after missing all of 2012 season.
The 2012 season for Rafael Perez was derailed rather early; in fact, a shoulder injury before the season even began would limit Perez's velocity and eventually remove him from the active roster.
The Cleveland Indians are nearing the end of another disappointing season, and have shut down Ubaldo Jimenez and Rafael Perez.

"The Waste Land" is most usually and most persuasively read as a satire.
"The Waste Land" has always begged its readers to multitask, to make leaps, to be both attentive and creative readers.
The notes that position Eliot the person in various locales, should be read as a concession from Eliot. The impersonal poetry in impossible.
More, the poem's resolution enables professors to flee its fragments without worry.
Eliot out-dueled the English until they erected his memorial in Westminster Abbey next to the graves of Dryden, Tennyson, and Browning; men Eliot spent his life burying.

The staff were most efficient, and helpful as well as being very friendly. We would like to mention in particular our Indonesian waiter in the Sinfonia restaurant, Daniel, a Brazilian waiter in the bar and Mozart, another lovely Brazilian a most gifted and entertaining member of the entertainment group.
The evening shows in the theatre were very good on some nights.
On a negative side, we really felt quite upset at the behavior of some of the passengers who rushed and pushed to get first at every opportunity. We also felt angry at the practice of a number who took over seats in the theatre and held them for their late arriving friends. We remember seeing a whole row of the best seats booked by a group of Germans. The Germans were the main culprits, but some Italians also abused the system. We reported this , but nothing was done about it.
As a small group of English speaking passengers, we travelled with a larger group of German speaking passengers on a tour in Salvador de Bahia. However, although the tour was meant to be in two languages,the German born guide spoke mostly in German. He only spoke in English when we asked him to translate what he had said in German.

BRUSSELS -- (AP) -- Germany's finance minister says a deal between Greek party leaders on new spending cuts appears to not yet fulfill all the conditions for a €130 billion ($173 billion) bailout.
Wolfgang Schaeuble says that "The agreement, as far as I understand, is not at a stage where it can be signed off."
Schaeuble says the conditions for the bailout include bringing Greece's debt level down to 120 percent of GDP by 2020, limiting official rescue loans to €130 billion and getting approval from the Greek parliament.
He said "'Those general requirements are not fulfilled yet."

Support for the ratification of the University of York Palestinian Solidarity Society
We disagree with the Societies Committee's decision to turn down the University of York Palestinian Solidarity Society's application for ratification, and the subsequent rejection of their appeal.
We believe the Palestinian Solidarity Society deserves its place among other societies on campus and to be given an opportunity to contribute towards student development. We believe the society will provide a forum for informed discussion, as well as a valuable means of collaboration between different groups and societies on campus.
We support the formal ratification of the University of York Palestinian Solidarity Society, and request that YUSU reconsider its decision.

A Shawnee business owner, who feared he would have to file bankruptcy, said a local church saved his business one tank of gas at a time.
Construction made it difficult for drivers to pull into the Snack Shack Phillip 66.
Owner Mukhtar Raja said construction along Shawnee Mission Parkway closed roads that brought business into his store.
When he was fearing the worst, suddenly a certain type of customer started supporting the mom-and-pop shop.
"When they started, they cut off our roads. This whole neighborhood can't even get to us. Man it just clobbered as far as business. I don't know exactly how much but it hurt," employee Edgar Kempf said.
The construction kept Raja up at night.
"The point came it was hard to pay the bills. It was really hard to pay the bills," Raja said.
In about five months, Raja estimates sales dropped by about $100,000.
"I was seriously, seriously considering filing Chapter 7," Raja said.
Then, as if someone answered his prayers, customers started to come.
David Jones, the pastor at Cross Points Church, asked his congregation to buy at least one tank of gas from Raja.
"I'm very, very thankful to them. Every one of them," Raja said.
Raja's employees say it was very touching.
"The first time they did, apparently they must have announced it right in church too, because church got out about 11:30 a.m. I never have a rush on Sunday, but I had people out here waiting in line to get gas," Kempf said.
Raja said he has a lot of respect for the church, and the kind gesture brought both him and customers to tears.
"I'm very thankful to them. They basically woke me up ... that good people exist out there. They don't care what race you are ... what religion you are, and that is unforgettable," Raja said.
Members of the Cross Points Church said they are starting a new effort called "Connect, Commit, Create." The church will come together to help businesses in the Shawnee area.
Raja, who is from Pakistan, and his wife, who is from Ukraine, say they feel like they have family in the United States because of the outpouring of support they have received from the Shawnee community.

What is accurate and what is misrepresented in the media's coverage leading up to and following the NFL Draft?
Today's tidbits cover injuries, media money for a dying brand, and radical shifts in the media mindset.

With the soon approaching 'official off season', teams are going to start making roster moves. It's going to be real interesting to see what the Kansas City Chiefs do in the coming months. Seems like the only position most Chiefs fans are concerned about is QB. And rightly so. Both Quinn and Cassel started 8 games a piece last season and they combined for 8 TDs and 20 INTs. The end result is probably the worst in franchise history for the Kansas City Chiefs. A lowly record of 2 wins and 14 losses. The only team to go longer in a season without a lead? The 1929 Buffalo Bisons. The 2012 Chiefs almost made history, in the worst of ways. TomahawkChop

Looks like another transfer QB taking over at Wisconsin this year. Only this time he has two years to play. I live in Maryland and I've watched him play a lot of games. He is a solid passer but does throw into coverage a lot.
Sounds good to me. Sounds like Sherman would like Tannehill to play for the Dolphins too. Especially since we don't have a QB coach on the team and Sherman will be the QB coach. I'll be very happy with this just as long as we take Manning in FA. Manning wouldn't need a QB coach anyways so that'd be perfect. Manning would be set while Sherman grooms Tannehill for the future. This would make it likely that Sherman would stick around with the team in an OC capacity rather than try to get an HC job with another team in the future.

Raining out today,been a real long dry spell. creeks are dry river is lower than Ive ever seen. Maybe the corn will grow now! Mike

I wish I could send you some of ours. It has rained 2 or 3 times a week for about the last 6 weeks. Not just a shower, but RAIN. I have just about started to mildew between my toes.
Billy, if you've got a long rope, tie it on to some of those clouds and I'll hook the Cub on this end and see if I can't pull a little rain our way. As 1cubmaster says, we finally have gotten a little over 3" since last Sunday. And that's the first measurable rain since the 1st of April.
On tonight's weather, they said that we were 15" above normal since the 1st. of the year. We are WET.
Put it this way.. Dry is not a word I could use for this part of New Brunswick. My gardens are so soggy, I almost bogged Ellie down.... can't harrow or plant.. I am now 5 weeks behind.. I may not get much of a garden at all this summer. Fingers are crossed..
Confusion breeds Discussion which breeds Knowledge which breeds Confidence which breeds Friendship
Rudi, I know how you feel but in the opposite direction, dry, dry, dry! I just replanted for the 5th time about 2 weeks ago! Billy says they are 15 inches above normal and that is what we are behind for the year, 15". Seeds just won't come up in powder and that's all we've had so far this year. Right now, corn is about 5" tall, okra about 3" tall and peas about 6" tall and if they don't make it this time, well that's it for this year as it's getting to late to replant. Oh well, we've got other things to be thankful for, so we can just gripe a little and wait until next year. Pete
Still dry here though the plants arn't suffering yet.Hope to have had some rain yesterday but just a few sprinkles.RATS!!! Maybe today!! Kevin

Choreography Knocks: Opportunities for choreographers at all levels
A Growing List of Living Female Choreographers
We want your feedback!
The dancers of Tanztheater Wuppertal, currently in the midst of a two-week, sold-out run of Pina Bausch's …como el musguito en la piedra, ay si, si, si (like moss on a stone)—the last piece she made before her death in 2009, reviewed by Wendy Perron here—at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, will be interacting with fans on Twitter tonight from 5 PM–6 PM EST. Using hashtag #PinaLegacy, you can ask Eddie Martinez, Fernando Suels Mendoza, and Thusnelda Mercy your burning questions about working with Bausch and follow @BAM_Brooklyn to read their answers. (You can also email questions to email@example.com, with "Pina Legacy" as the subject.) We want to know everything—in how many languages the dancers end up learning their onstage phrases, given their worldwide travels; how much product goes into taking care of those cascading waves of hair (practically a fifth limb for the women in ...como el musgito); and how they manage to keep the work fresh every night—although judging by the emotions displayed at bows, Bausch's loss is still very raw and deeply felt, and seems to be behind every movement. (The dancers said as much in the wonderful Wim Wenders film PINA.) Perhaps, tonight, we'll even learn what's in store for the future of the company.
Here's the BAM 150 years blog with more info.

Woman seriously hurt in Stadhampton crash
3:36pm Friday 20th July 2012 in Wallingford

What's up guys.
About two weeks ago, I had an awesome conversation with few of my friends after our work out and the topic was the same as the title of this thread.
JCC vs Meldrick Taylor is one of the most intense fights I have ever seen. It mixes good with bad so efficiently I still can't make up my mind about the final outcome. Do I agree with Richard "Lexington" Steele? Would I stopped the fight too? Was it fixed? Was Steele just looking for an excuse to stop the fight to preserve JCC's 0 in the loss column ? So many questions. But I have to say...I see reasons for both...Meldrick was BEATEN UP...and I mean...he was FUBAR! On the other hand...2 or so seconds? Rly? I just don't know and that's what makes the fight so great.
I liked Taylor's speed but although Chavez was really connecting 1 to Meldrick's 3, these punches were bombs! Kudos to Meldrick's heart and will for making him upright through almost all 12 rounds. Needless to say though, JCC made him pay in gold and diamonds for any punches landed.
Mexican toughness vs the American (Philadelphian) swagger at its best.
I think Taylor's corner didn't plan the strategy for him too well though. In the first round he threw 96 punches...you just can't do that if you are not built like i don't know..Margarito. Chavez is Chavez and you have to conserve your energy against him because it is highly unlikely that the fight is going to end before the 12th round. I think that was a mistake...given that Taylor was young and inexperienced, it was a recipe for disaster which it ultimately was - 9th round through 12th he was OUT on his feet.
I couldn't breathe during the last minute of the 12th although I had already known how it is going to end. As Steele said, you could see the sand running out Taylor's hourglass. The crowd went balistic after the knockdown..I have never heard anything like that before.
Also, if you look at the face of Chavez right after the fight...where is the punishment ? He looks tired, but other than that..ready to have a party.
For once I truly believe that a fight really stands behind the downfall of a fighter's career.
What are your thoughts about Richard Steele's decision and the fight in general?
I recommend looking at both the fight
and HBO's "Legendary nights" segment

A Merry Hills man stopped a burglary last week after he confronted two men fleeing his neighbor's home and shot one of them in the leg, DeKalb County police said.
The man told police he confronted the men after they broke into a home in the 1300 block of Carolyn Drive at about 11:40 a.m. Wednesday, according to the police report.
He said he first fired a warning shot into the air because one of the suspects would not get on the ground and "acted like he was going to leave the scene," the report said. When the suspect approached him, the man said he fired what he thought was another warning shot only to realize he'd hit the man in the leg.
A responding officer discovered the wounded suspect on the ground when he arrived.
"The white [man] shot me!" the suspect yelled repeatedly.
The two men arrested and charged with burglary are Nicholas Lewis, 21, and Nicholas Gallaspy, 19, both of North Druid Hills, according to the police report. Gallaspy, who was shot, was taken to Atlanta Medical Center for treatment.
A laptop computer and an iPad taken from the home were returned to the burglary victim.

Over the past few decades, "chaos theory" and "complexity theory" have emerged as new scientific models for understanding chaotic and/or complex systems. Chaos theory has grown out of physics and mathematics. Complexity theory has developed mainly from studying biological and human systems. These theories share a natural alignment with the spirit and practice of astrology, more so than other attempts to use astrology with the concepts of modern science. The current configuration of Uranus and Pluto makes this an auspicious time to discuss chaos and complexity theory with astrologers.
CLICK HERE for the full 26-page article.
With Uranus transiting Aries for the first time since 1927-1934, cookbook astrology would predict a New Birth of astrology's relevance around the world by 2019. As with so many beloved astrological catch-phrases, "New Birth" is vague, generally applicable and perhaps ultimately meaningless in any informative sense.
Astrologers historically have enjoyed highlighting significant technological revolutions accompanying Uranus transits: Uranus' archetype is considered synchronous not just with inventions and technology but with astrology itself.
By outward appearances, Neo lived an unremarkable life. He slept, ate, went to work. Yet a nagging feeling something was not as it appeared persisted. His search led him to take the red pill, and wake up to a more-real reality he never before imagined.
Nice plot for the sci-fi hit movie The Matrix. But screenwriting siblings the Wachowskis consciously tipped their hats to the philosophy of the ancient Greeks. The admonition to "Wake Up!" has a long history in Western culture.
Of course, the Greeks didn't have a red pill. But they did have a sophisticated theories of of the meta-physical. In the agora and in their living rooms, philosophers debated how creation moved from a transcendent unity, the One, to the multiplicity of manifestations populating our mundane world. These "theories of emanations" provided model they used to explore how to (re)unite with that transcendent, divine "light."
These "lovers of wisdom," were not simply talking about ephemeral theories, they were, in the words of French scholar Pierre Hadot, pursuing "philosophy as a way of life." They developed practical techniques – "spiritual exercises" – to cultivate an interior landscape conducive to the experience of joy; compassion and equanimity in the face of suffering; as well as emotional and mental self-mastery. In other words, such exercises blazed a Western path toward enlightenment, toward connecting oneself to a more direct experience of the divine light.
Such exercises were familiar (and practiced by) the Greek and Roman philosophers, including those involved with the development of astrology. Pieces of this knowledge were preserved in classical texts, inherited by the early Catholic Church and preserved in monastic orders.
However, unlike the early days of the Church, the Greeks and Roman philosophers did not necessarily divorce themselves from the mundane affairs of daily life to contemplate mystical union. Instead they saw their ordinary actions and reactions as a kind of laboratory for studying themselves, their thoughts and their reactions. Through vigilant self-examination, questioning and reflection, they sought to discover how to shift emotions and thought processes.
One key concept was prosoche, an ever-vigilant attention to oneself. Something akin to today's practice of mindfulness, prosoche necessitated an around-the-clock witnessing of one's actions, emotions and thoughts. Insights gained from this self-observation provided the raw ingredient for discovering how one's psyche functioned. This, in conjunction with other exercises, provided a formula for achieving more expanded states of awareness which created a fertile ground for union with one's divine spark.
Donna Woodwell is an instructor at Kepler and has worked with these exercises as part of her own metaphysical training, which has included shamanic healing, Hermetic magic, and the spiritual exercises of St. Ignatius.

I think that AG was the strongest series, with Best wishes at a close second.
Printable View
I think that AG was the strongest series, with Best wishes at a close second.
The Sommelier profession is a joke. I really like Dent and Cabernet as characters, but I can't take anything they say seriously, even when it's meant to be.
The only unpopular opinion I have is that the anime determines which Pokemon character (both human or Pokemon) will appear in the upcoming Super Smash Bros. title based on his/her popularity from Japan. A lot of veteran and non-veteran users who are smarter than me disagree with this idea, which is why it's unpopular and feel ashamed for thinking of it.
Well I never really liked May's rivals. Drew, from his character design to his stupid shipping episodes with May bored me to tears, and Harley, while better, never really came together as a believable rival.
While I agree that taking away some of the original score can leave some scenes really flat, I actually find myself enjoying some of the Rival Destinies dub background music.
-Pikachu losing to "weak" Pokemon at the start of each new region. "Its power is drained at the start of each new region," it's equally if not worse writing for Pikachu to be plowing through the opposition like butter unless it's a plot point. The same could be said of Ash as well.
-DP isn't nearly as awesome as everyone makes it out to be. There were terrible episodes like Faced With Steelix Determination!, Teaching the Student Teacher!, and Up Close And Personable!.
-Team Rocket not appearing every episode is good, it forces the writers to be somewhat less lazy with plot ideas and antagonist outside of the usual TR.
-Pokemon Hunter J was more interesting than Team Galactic ever were.
-Dawn's team was very stale and the latter members were underdeveloped and seem like last minute additions for marketing purposes. Cyndaquil(HGSS), Togekiss and Mamoswine(Platinum).
-Iris' Dragonite is a fantastic addition to Iris' team, it gives her another Dragon to use, we see her struggling and working with it, and it moves her one step closer to the "Understanding the hearts of Dragons/attuning to Dragons' hearts" part of her goal, while Axew is the "Raise their power to maximum" part.
-Cilan's team is stale, mainly due to none of them having storylines/plot-points and active personalities, except maybe Pansage.
-I never saw Piplup as something to be hated upon constantly, more so comedy relief.
-Trip isn't nearly as terrible as people make him out to be.
-James' Growlie was more compelling than most of TR's Pokemon and I would have liked to see him return for BW2 advertising purposes.
-The reserves manage to be more entertaining and compelling Pokemon than the main group a lot of the times for me. For example, Krookodile is vastly more interesting and fun a Pokemon than Snivy or Scraggy with far more action-packed battles.
-Tepig was an awesome Pokemon, despite being criticized often for being personality-less and boring.
-Outrage was good, I like how it seemed like Axew had a shot of adrenaline and a "fight-or-flight" type situations with Golett.
-I never quite understood what made Cilan's Stunfisk so amazing to everyone. :
-Togekiss was a great addition to Dawn's team, mainly because of her personality as well as her potential to have been a very interesting battler. She livened up Dawn's very plain team since Buneary had 3-moveslot syndrome, Pachirisu never used Super Fang after learning it really, Piplup was for marketing, Mamoswine's potential was underused, Cyndaquil was powered up too quickly and never battled at all outside of two contest and two practice battles.
-Gible's Draco Meteor gag was awfully overused at times.
-May was more interesting than Dawn.
-Drew and Harley were better than all of Dawn's rivals.
-Nando had the potential to be a very good rival, but suffered from lack of appearances. He was something new and fresh.
-Ursula was made out to be too Harley-ish.
My opinion on Dawn changed drastically, moreso than any other main character in the series.
There were times I really liked Dawn, times I found her to be a little bit stale, times I got bored of her, and then times I thought she was awesome again. Dawn is that one character you can never have a firm opinion on, she can either be really awesome or really bland, and I think its with her that people had more trouble holding a concrete opinion on.
Seriously, even to this day I'm not sure where Dawn ranks on my preferred characters list. There are obviously things she got to do that no other main girl got to do, but then there are other things I feel were a bit too boring like her general character interaction.
I think Johto has been the most enjoyable series. And I think that most of the movies are not handled well and are actually pretty bad and boring (I don't really know where other people stand on that but I'm assuming my opinion is fairly unpopular.)
- We've gotta see Ash's grandparents... 'Cause... they're his grandparents.
- I wish Ash still had his 4Kids voice... from mid-Kanto. Actually, probably from the 30s or so, episode-wise. Many people don't acknowledge that Ash's 4Kids voice wasn't always the same...
- Still not a fan of May getting Munchlax with a PokeBall with the same gag where the capture failed with that Whiscash and a Master Ball. Fishing Master Sullivan threw a Master Ball at Whiscash and it ate it and didn't get captured. I thought it was great. Then later May threw a PokeBall at Munchlax and it ate it. It still got captured inside the ball. Even for a gag, I don't like that both of those things happened- I would've preferred one- especially if that one was the first one.
- The Lucario movie was... decent, at least. Or solid, or something. It was nice, but I didn't think it was mind-blowingly awesome...
- I haven't confirmed this is an unpopular opinion, but I have the feeling it would be. I'm not a fan of the last Johto episode, "Hoenn Alone", ending with a cliffhanger. In general I wish that, if they're gonna keep on keeping Ash, that they give each series a better closure. Not one that goes as far as to give a "don't watch anything afterwards" kind of feel, but one where one could quit watching after the end of the series (the original, AG, etc.) and feel... pretty satisfied, but if they kept watching it wouldn't feel awkward either.
- I'm glad they said Ash's age in BW!. Not saying it's the number I prefer, but hey... =/
- The non-game based Japanese background music needs more love... and not just the sad piece "After the Tears, the Weather Clears."
Iris is better than Misty, May and Dawn combined.
Brock never should have been brought after Kanto.
A lot of the early episodes are terrible, while Advance is quite underrated.
Gary was never an interesting character.
J lives.
i love iris.
i cannot comprehend the hatred i see towards her here.
she's the only female ash friend i have ever been able to relate to in my life. she doesn't care about her hair style, fashion, anything like that. she's a total tomboy, wild and free. she doesn't wear tiny booty shorts or the shortest skirts possible. she takes no crap. i know she is inconsistent with her handling of axew and her dragon master goal, but overall, i think she's quite unique; i love her. like i said, i've never ever related to the female companion in my life until her. i feel so alone in this! but as a not very stereotypically girly female i often have felt alone and strange for not caring about what every other girl seemed to care about while i was growing up.
i've got many other unpopular opinions but i am afraid i'd be utterly hanged so i will stick to iris.
Misty is way too overrated and I dislike her
Dawn was pretty much the best female companion
Am I the only one who got tired of Brock during DP?
Piplup was so cute and epic
Cilan is NOT overrated - he's the best
They should've done more with Gary
Am I the only one who disliked Cynthia's return? I keep getting this feeling that she's going to steal Alder's spotlight some day, just like how Lance stole Steven/Wallace's role in the Magma vs Aqua arc.
Serious TR is much fun to watch than TR as a comedy
My opinion on Iris is mixed because I can understand the potential of the character and how she is unique compared to the past girls, but at the same time I feel like her character is being squandered and is going to wind up forgettable. Probably doesn't help matters that Iris is likely going to have the shortest run for a female protagonist in the series, especially if Gen 6 does begin next year like speculated.
Getting REALLY sick of Cynthia in-game and in the anime.
I don't like Cilan.
I stopped watching, because it was the same thing over and over again. It's obvious it's a "kid-friendly" anime, and that just doesn't appeal to me anymore.

Asia is the biggest continent on Earth, a darling little gem floating around in space.
Hm, what is Asia? Who's in on it?
China and India are safe bets for Asian nations. Korea, Japan, Thailand, you're fine.
Europe? No. Europe would sort of be on the "Asian continent" if not for those pesky Ural mountains dividing things up in the middle, and then also the whole lineage of kings and wealth and nations and the EU and all that "give me my respect" stuff.
Russia would probably be happiest as its own continent, so for now we'll leave it in "Eurasia" and just hope the natural gas supplies keep flowing.
Pakistan and Afghanistan are dang close to Asia, but politically they show up in "Middle East" news stories an awful lot. Verdict: Eurasia.
I guess we'll actually have to consider everything from Turkey on eastward to be "Eurasian", although the moniker seems overlappitory of the territory.
The Asian economy is now officially raging like a wild furnace of lava that consumes everything in its path. Japan has had the largest individual economy in Asia for decades, but it is forecast that both India and China will outstrip Japan within twenty years.
China is the largest holder of United States debt and is positioned to become the world's next superpower, provided that Godzilla doesn't return and decide to stomp everybody back into the Shang Dynasty.

An up-to-date look at free software and its makers
A new status report on suspend and hibernate discusses the workings of, issues with, and future plans for power-saving modes in Linux.
Gigantic pop concerts all over the world, a worried former vice president of the USA, the United Nations Climate Report – a lot of peopleare concerned with protecting our environment, a topic that includes saving power. Many arguments support computer users saving power, including helping the environment, saving money, or simply extending the life of laptop batteries. When it comes to power management, Linux is not generally regarded as a role model. Besides excessive power consumption during normal operations, standby functions don't always work as their makers intended.
