When UFC lightweight Jim Miller takes on hard-hitting Melvin Guillard this Friday night in the main event of UFC on FX 1 it's likely he'll avoid standing with "The Young Assassin" if possible and work for submissions. The 20-3 Miller has won more than half of his fights by way of tap-out while eight of Guillard's nine total losses have been the result of his inferior grappling skills.
In this MMATraining Technique of the Day, Miller will walk viewers through his version of the Kimura, giving interested parties a resource to pull from if ever in a similar situation as the one he'll face in a few days against Guillard.
[...] on the FX network is a lightweight scrap between heavy hitter Melvin Guillard and the always game Jim Miller. Just a few months ago, this bout would have served as a sure-fire title eliminator. Unfortunately, [...]

New smartphones this week from Nokia-Microsoft and Motorola-Verizon Wireless-Google, with Apple's new iPhone expected next week, shed light on how mobility is evolving for enterprise IT groups. The focus has been less on hardware razzle-dazzle and more on what the phones can do as mobile computers.
The new Motorola Droid Razr models will support the latest version of the Android OS, Jellybean, when they ship later this year. And, for the first time, include Google's Chrome Web browser as the phone's standard. Nokia's new Lumia models, running the not-yet-released Windows Phone 8 OS, feature new levels of integration with the Nokia Location Services, now built into Window Phone, and new apps, like the augmented reality browsing in Nokia City Lens, to exploit these services.

First look: Nokia's new Windows Phone 8 smartphones
First look: Motorola's new Droid RAZR lineup
Most of the new phones support 4G/LTE cellular connectivity (with a fall-back to 3G), providing a much bigger, always available, wireless data pipe at least for those subscribers who want it. And enterprises can expect that pipe, as well as 802.11n Wi-Fi links, to be used for high definition imagery and video transfers. Diagonal screen sizes range from 4.3 to 4.7 inches. All of them feature "only" dual-core processors rather than the quad-core chips found in a few high-end phones, an acknowledgement of the complex tradeoffs that good mobile device design requires.
The most notable hardware feature in the new Motorola phones is the much longer battery life, says Michael Morgan, senior analyst, mobile devices, for ABI Research. But the greater significance lies in how these mobile devices from Motorola Mobility, acquired by Google last year, fit into the growing constellation of Google services. "Motorola will be the vehicle that is used to ensure that there are Android devices on the market that leverage Google services, such as maps and email," Morgan says.
Steve Patterson, writing Network World's PhilAndroid blog, argues the new Motorola phones are "customer acquisition platforms that attract and engage consumers with the un-tethered mobile capability to run data-intensive applications like Google Maps, Facebook, YouTube and Skype in the way they would ordinarily run only on PCs or on Wi-Fi-connected mobile devices."

Romney Can't and Obama Won't Do What America Needs (Podcast Pt. I)
Romney may say the right things, but will he really be able to affect change? And Obama says… and does… the wrong things, and he has no reason to change. Democrats complain that Romney has no sympathy for the unemployment problem.
Of course this is ironic since he has been hunting for a new job for the past year. In the recent debate, he stressed how he would work to improve the economy to help the middle class. He wants to cut out deductions, lower taxes, and simplify the tax code. Great idea, but that's not how Washington politics work. With so many special interests, will he really be able to make the required changes? It doesn't look good.
On the other hand, Obama wants to spend his way out of the problem. He gets the money from borrowing the same way overspending American citizens fund their personal largess. Instead of paying back debt that he racked up, Obama pays the minimum monthly balance. It's like if you pay $50 on your $5,000 credit card debt. Based on the logic of Nobel Prize winning economist Paul Krugman, the President feels he can double the amount of debt since he'd only have to make $100 monthly payments (or, in the case of the United States debt, make that an increase from $30 billion per month in interest payments to $60 billion!). This system of borrowing money will probably continue to work until at least the election date, and maybe for a few more years. But at some point, that debt must be paid off.
On this week's Goldstein on Gelt radio show, I asked former Chief Economist for the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and Harvard professor Ken Rogoff about the American Debt Crisis. He gave a great explanation.
Here's part one of the show (below). Part two will be posted next week.

SALISBURY, Md. - Two apparent arsons in just one week has shaken up a Wicomico County neighborhood.
The Maryland State Fire Marshal is says the office is investigating the two fires as connected arsons, though they don't have many details.
WMDT spoke to the woman who lives in the home at 615 Baker Street, which was set on fire around 9:16 PM Thursday.
"It's hard, and it's scary, and it just makes you so shaky about whether or no you going to wake up tomorrow," says Cindy Ebert.
Ebert says she had just gone to bed, not long before 9 o'clock. Soon after, she says a man knocked on her door to tell her the furniture on her porch was on fire. That furniture was found thrown from the porch onto the side yard.
This fire comes just a few days after the back porch of another home on the 600 block of Baker Street was torched.
WMDT also spoke to the woman living in that home, but she did not want to appear on camera for fear of retaliation. Ebert says not only is she afraid of what could happen next, she's frustrated with what's going on now.
"I'm actually livid with everything that's happening. I mean, the police station's only two blocks around the corner and we got an arson running around you know, these people are bold, and that's scary, because, when police don't scare you, what are you capable of," says Ebert, "I've noticed how in the last couple of nights, how people are now leaving their porch lights on, they're leaving the back lights on their house so it shines on the back yard."The fire marshal says they don't have any suspects in custody, but neighbors on Barclay and Martin Street apparently saw and heard cars driving down Baker Street around the time of Thursday's fire, so if anyone has information on the fires, or was driving in the area, you're asked to contact the office of the Maryland State Fire Marshal's Office at 410-713-37-80.

Pestalozzi European Modules: The use of social media for democratic participation
The Pestalozzi Programme puts media literacy in the context of Human Rights and describes it as the critical, responsible and beneficial use of the media environment. As such it is one of the key competences for sustainable democratic societies, part of a set of basic "transversal attitudes, skills and knowledge of a democratic citizen" as central elements of formal, non-formal and informal education.
The media environment has changed substantially over the past two decades and has moved from mass communication on to "mass-to-mass" communication. Media users have moved from consumers of media, recipients of messages to actors, to producers of content of a much wider range than previously imagined.
The virtual space has become a real-life extension of the concrete social space, both surround us and we live and act increasingly in both of them. The virtual social space has the similar purposes and uses as the concrete social space. From personal development and identity building, to communication, learning as well as social interaction and participation in public life.
This module series will focus on the latter: the use of social media for social interaction and democratic participation. How can education prepare the learners for a critical and responsible use of the media environment for their participation in public-life. What do education professionals need to be able to develop the capacity of learners to use social media to express their opinion, to initiate debate and discussion as well as democratic action aimed at improving the conditions which surround us, whatever topic they choose to focus on: sustainable environment and production, living together in diversity, responsible consumerism, or any other form of appropriate social and political action.

Advice for Saints and Stoke fans and the latest on flooding across the area
Updated 4:41pm Saturday 8th February 2014 in News
FLOODING is continuing to cause havoc in parts of Hampshire today, prompting warnings and advice for residents and football fans.
Highways bosses have urged Southampton and Stoke fans with tickets for this afternoon's match at St Mary's to avoid junction 5 of the M27 as flooding there is expected to cause congestion.
However iearlier today, Southampton City Council's highways teams announced that Mansbridge Road, in Mansbridge, has been reopened, despite warnings yesterday that it could be closed for up to five days.
They warn that while river levels remain high and that closure again is possible if the situation changes, a safety inspection this morning as given the green light to open.
The warning to football fans comes after many of the county's roads have been submerged in water over the last 48 hours as the region was battered by heavy rain and high winds.
In Fordingbridge this afternoon, parents at the local junior school have been rallying round to help fill sandbags as the site was submerged in water following heavy downpours over night.
And with yet more downpours forecast for today, those already battling to protect their homes are bracing themselves for the worst.
Greatbridge Road, in Romsey, is still closed today after highways teams were forced to shut the busy route due to rising water levels and Bridge Street, in Titchfield, is also closed due to flooding at the B3334 Titchfield Road junction.
In Romsey, residents in six homes had to be evacuated last night as rising water breached their homes.
The householders living in Budds Lane were asked to leave their properties around 6pm.
This morning some were returning to see what damage the rising water had caused and to take items from their homes.
Parents rallied together this morning to stop a Hampshire school from flooding.
Fordingbridge Junior School is surrounded by water and parents have collected sandbags to barricade front door of the building.
One onlooker said the school was surrounded like a lagoon.
Springvale Road and Lovedon Lane in Kingsworthy have been closed due to the flooding.
Meanwhile in Winchester flood waters continue to cause concern for residents as water levels have not backed down since yesterday.
With even more rain forecast for the next 24 hours residents are being urged to do all they can to prepare for a possible repeat of the flooding that caused chaos for many houses back in 2001.
Winchester and the surrounding villages received an average of 13.5mm of rainfall over the last twelve hours.
Residents in Twyford have been advised to avoid using their dishwashers and flushing their toilets as a result of backed up sewage and some houses in Hursley were pumping water from their cellars well into yesterday evening.
The bottom of Beeches Hill in Bishop's Waltham has been flooded as has parts of Owsleybury Bottom, Meonstoke, Tichborne, North Boarhunt, Micheldever, Cheriton, Bramdean, Exton, Hambledon and Down Farm Lane in Headbourne Worthy.

I fear that this may be quite a common practice. The stories and anecdotes I have heard about contractors and sub-contractors, the various types of goings on and backhanders, seem to be the norm as far as I can see.

Resident - I believe this is only the norm for dishonest contractors. To label all contractors as lying cheaters is not fair. There are many great, honest ones out there. Smith has had a reputation for doing this for many years to subcontractors and homeowners alike.

With just over a month to go until it hits theaters, Quentin Tarantino's western/slavery drama "Django Unchained" is beginning to ride in over the horizon, and a new poster has dropped today along with a couple interesting tidbits about the film.
Buzzing around the interwebs for the past week, the movie has had its first screening for specially selected folks on the Sony Studios lot, and according to at least one person who saw it, the movie runs about three hours long. Of course, this is all secondhand and who knows if Tarantino will be cutting it down for theaters or not, but given that the leaked script ran over 160 pages long (though it was rewritten), it seems everything was at least shot. Meanwhile, Jamie Foxx hopes the movie will educate and entertain. EDUTAINMENT!
"This actually gives us an opportunity to entertain and to educate people that are wondering what slavery is about," Foxx told the LA Times. "Young kids, black and white, but especially black kids, they don't know about slavery today. So before the movie comes out, I hope we can talk about what happened in this country. I think we are grown enough to do it now."
Finally, if you're wondering about Oscar buzz, it seems Christoph Waltz is one to watch. According to an "insider" speaking to showbiz awards site Gold Derby: "Christoph Waltz's performance is so amazing in 'Django Unchained' that it towers over the whole movie. We're moving him up to the lead Oscar race."
Promising indeed. "Django Unchained" gets...unchained on Christmas Day. Poster below from Yahoo.
Donella | November 13, 2012 5:27 PM
"Young kids, black and white, but especially black kids, they don't know about slavery today..." Any parent expecting or hoping for Quentin Tarantino (or Jamie Foxx) to educate the children in their care should have those children removed.

I've been saying Walt is gonna steal this all along while others have been saying DiCaprio will. Don't get me wrong, Leo looks good, but the way Walt says ever line of his in the trailers is perfection. Too bad he already won an Oscar for Basterds. No way he will get another one.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
Do you want to lead a 5.12 at the Lake? I'm talking about a "real" 5.12--not some obscure short climb at Horse Rampart or some corner over at Sandstone. I'm talking about hard moves, tricky pro and mandatory runouts in groundfall territory. I'm talking about a 5.12 that is a hair's breath away from the mythical routes like Bagatelle whose leads only live in the memory of a few crazed souls. Yeah, you guessed it, I'm talking about going All the Way.
If you're planning on leading it, for the love of God, rap down to check out the gear yourself. Don't trust the ramblings of a climber who hasn't been on the route since 2009 and has a tendency toward hyperbole.

My husband loves long hair...but my natural hair is fine, thin and limp. So solution, get a beautiful Gayle wig. It is light, free flowing, feels wonderful and fairs well staying cool in our hot Texas weather! It is beautiful...I bought it in dark auburn and am currently getting it in the Irish red...adore that color, too...cannot wait to get that color in this wig for a touch of elegance on a date night or special occasion. It also looks fantastic pulled up on both sides with a clippy holding it up in the back...half up/half down. Cannot go wrong with this wig!

this is a beautiful wig straight out of the box but I felt it was too long for my age so I cut about 4 inches from both of them.

I sing professionally. Love my wigs for different looks. My band LOVES this wig. Told me I look 20 years younger. I hesitated because of my age to get a long wig. So happy I took the plunge. Will certainly buy more.

My HUSBAND thought it was my own hair!!
By GracieInIowa
from Iowa
I am an older woman who has elected to let my hair grow, and NOT adopt the "time-honored poodle cut" that has always seemed to be the go-to haircut of people my age. My stylist said my hair was "BEAUTIFUL" and she wanted me to work with her on getting it long. (We did it!) However, there ARE days when I wish I'd had it all cut off. Especially when I wake up grumpy. THAT'S why I went for the Gayle wig. I was trying it on today and asked my husband what he thought of it. He said I'd never done my hair so beautifully! His jaw dropped when I told him this is a wig!! The greatest gift for someone who is wearing a wig, is for people to be REALLY surprised when you tell them "it's a wig'!! Gayle is now my go-to look! There is no need to fuss over this wig; it naturally falls into style! It is NOT heavy, so you can wear it when it gets warm, too! The colors are AWESOME, and I came back here today NOT to write a review, but to purchase ANOTHER "Gayle"! Such fun; you CANNOT go wrong with THIS wig! Thanks, Paula for giving us "silver" ladies longer wigs!! Happy, happy!!! And, it was delivered more quickly than I expected!

Great Wig!
By Lou Lou

I was just diagnosed with an auto immune disease and my hair started falling out really bad. So for Christmas my grandparents gave me money for a wig. This is the first wig I have ever bought, and I LOVE it! Would definitely buy from here again.

I STILL ADORE this wig!
By Inkprof
from Oklahoma City, OK
I adore this wig, still. I have bought two in this style because I love it so much, and have ordered a third in a slightly darker color. I get more compliments when I wear this wig than any other wig I have. (I wear wigs due to a medical condition, cancer, and hair loss.)Before I wore wigs, my hair was fine but thick. With the Gayle wig, I get the density I miss of my own hair but curl, which I did not have before. This wig is easy to care for also. It's a win-win in my book.Please, Paula Young, never discontinue to the Gayle! Even if and when my hair grows back, I will wear this wig, I am sure.

I ADORE this wig ... x 3!
Because of medical reasons, I found myself looking for a wig. I purchased three that looked OK before wearing, but quickly looked worn out after 2 or 3 wears because the hair became super frizzy. (None of these fuzz-rags were Paula Young products, fyi.)However, all that changed when I purchased the Gayle wig!! It is FANTASTIC! I get compliments each time I wear it. Because it's so natural looking and ready to go out of the box, as others have said, I have already ordered 2 more of the same wig -- one in a lighter blond color and 2 in the same ash blond with highlights. This wig is an outstanding value in my book. It would be good if it were a bit thicker in the back, but it still is a terrific-looking wig, thanks to an incredible style that stays in place, with a natural-looking part, which is important to me. **The cap is a great fit (I ordered the large cap size, and I feel secure when putting only 3-4 hairpins underneath to secure it. I also wear hair accessories regularly in it and will soon try putting it in a loose ponytail, which I think will look great based on my home trials of styling it. Bottom line: This wig has spoiled me. I look at others, but so far, the Gayle is my ole faithful. It can't be beat for natural looks, quality and price. I've ordered more expensive wigs, but they pale in comparison to the Gayle. I would love to have this in a strawberry blond or a blond with red highlights!

I adore this wig! Great value!
By Kodamom
from Guthrie, OK
This is the third wig I've bought since having hair loss due to medical reasons, and this one just may be my favorite one, thanks to how well it fits. As a new wig wearer, I am a bit self-conscious, but after wearing this one around the house a bit and then out a couple of times, I am feeling more confident. It fits better than any of the three wigs I've purchased so far and I feel that the fit is much better and more secure. This is the least-expensive wig I've bought so far, but it's definitely the one that is a top buy. I highly recommend this wig.

Dance Mom
By Happy

This wig can be worn without a hat, and without getting cut or styled. It is very natural looking. It look terrific with a beret or beanie. And I've worn it with a headband. It is very romantic looking . I have a very small face and features and it is not overwhelming.
Gayle is the perfect for me in style.
By Ms Kathy
from Jacksonville Beach FL
I love my Gayle wigs, because they are like my own hair but more. They are a little fuller. I wear one each day. The color is just right and the length is the same as my own. You can't tell I'm wearing a wig.

Brazen downtown bank robbery hits Palo Alto

Why isn't there any surveillance footage? That's a really, really interesting question.
on Aug 24, 2013 at 12:25 pm
A big bank like that probably doesnt have local access to surveillance.
on Aug 24, 2013 at 12:37 pm
I was walking up to the bank from the monitored parking lot at 5:51 - trying to get a deposit in before it closed. There was one officer hiding behind a tree to the left of the entrance and as I approached the entrance, he said "Bank's closed". I walked back to my truck and left. On my way out, I saw that the people at the office desks on the glass periphery were working away as if nothing had happened. On the street, there was a single police van. No other activity outside.
I suppose that they did not want to create a confrontation - a wise approach IMHO. Money can always be replaced.

With over one million copies sold, this series of modern classics about the charming Penderwick family from National Book Award winner and New York Times bestseller Jeanne Birdsall is perfect for fans of Noel Streatfeild and Edward Eager.
When summer comes around, it's off to the beach for Rosalind . . . and off to Maine with Aunt Claire for the rest of the Penderwick girls, as well as their old friend, Jeffrey.
That leaves Skye as OAP (oldest available Penderwick)—a terrifying notion for all, but for Skye especially. Things look good as they settle into their cozy cottage, with a rocky shore, enthusiastic seagulls, a just-right corner store, and a charming next-door neighbor. But can Skye hold it together long enough to figure out Rosalind's directions about not letting Batty explode? Will Jane's Love Survey come to a tragic conclusion after she meets the alluring Dominic? Is Batty—contrary to all accepted wisdom—the only Penderwick capable of carrying a tune? And will Jeffrey be able to keep peace between the girls . . . these girls who are his second, and most heartfelt, family?
It's a rollicking ride as the Penderwicks continue their unforgettable adventures in a story filled with laughs and joyful tears!
About the Author
JEANNE BIRDSALL lives in Northampton, Massachusetts, with her husband. Their house is old and comfortable, full of unruly animals, and surrounded by gardens. The Penderwicks at Point Mouette is her third novel.
Praise for The Penderwicks at Point Mouette…
Starred Review, Publishers Weekly, April 11, 2011:
"The Penderwick sisters' third adventure brings them back in full entertaining force...From start to finish, this is a summer holiday to savor."
Starred review, Booklist, May 15, 2011:
"Drawing readers right into the family, [Birdsall] enlivens the everyday matters and endows her characters with so much individuality it's as though she's erased the word generic from the dictionary."

Why did I ever take up quilting? Necessity! I was 16 years old and redecorating my impossibly small bedroom.
Recently, I was looking through pictures of bird art I've made over the years. After the winter we've had, just seeing this bird building its nest on the flowering apple branch makes me happy! Spring has arrived (by the calendar, at least) with coming soon, and that means that even if it snows again, the wintry remains will soon melt away.
When I saw Lynn Krawczyk's Wishing Owl plushies in International Quilt Festival: Quilt Scene magazine last fall, I knew I had to make some of my own. Encouraged by her suggestion to jazz them up in your own way, I gave mine patchwork bodies made from vintage feed sack fabrics.
I always love to hear how people began quilting. Did they make their first patchwork quilt at their grandmother's knee? Did they get bored and take a class that led to a passion? Did a friend drag them to a quilt show, and they were hooked?
I have a long history of finding, buying, hoarding, and using Japanese fabric. I can't bear to part with even the tiniest scrap. I am always looking to incorporate a piece in my patchwork projects.
What does "modern quilting" mean? There are a lot of opinions on what modern quilting is—and isn't. But one thing's for sure, modern patchwork quilting is hot right now.
The first time I laid eyes on Malka Dubrawsky's quilts a few years back, I sat up and took notice. Now, here was someone who was taking basic patchwork quilt blocks and giving them a fresh and contemporary spin using color and freehand cutting and piecing.
I'm past the stage where I am making baby quilts for my children. This picture shows the first baby quilt I ever made-for my baby Sam (now 13 years old). I love that this quilt is worn and stained. I love that it is well-used and cherished, and that it carries my special message to my baby boy written on the label.
I've been using digital photos as a basis for my quilt designs for quite some time now. Digital technology has improved so much, too.
I started Cloth Paper Scissors magazine back in 2004 in part to give voice to forms of art that mixed fabric and stitch with paint, glue, and embellishment but were not strictly speaking art quilts. Forms like altered books, fabric and paint collages, shrines, assemblages, and paper quilts.

Granny my '47, has patiently been sitting on the sidellines while I dealt with Ellie's problems and of course the pole barn and life's other issues. The last time Granny was out kicking up her heals was during CubFest Northeast NB 2009 and she was running pretty darn good. Cecil was able to hand crank her to life (something I can no longer do) and a number of attendees were able to take her for a run up the logging road. Since that time she has basically sat waiting for me to let have some fun. Got lots of plans for her this winter but to get them done I need to be able to start her up. She turned over nicely with the battery, had spark, air, fuel and it felt a bit of compression but no start. Decided to go through the diagnostics but since I am still not the greatest with it it takes a while. Also next door neighbour was over with his daughter's boyfriend who happens to be an aircraft mechanic who does a lot of work on mag equipped radials. Somehow or other it got out of time, mag was not taken off but the cap was and he/Roger hand cranked Granny losing #! TDC.
Tried to find #1 TDC but could not feel any compression which led me to think that Granny might have lost prime whilst sitting. Anyways that has kept me kind of in limbo cause I am no mechanic - still learning. My other chum who also happens to be my main mechanic for the van before he went back to the Tar Sands (long story) is home for 3 weeks and he was over. Troy has been looking for a new place form him and the soon to be bride with some property where he can have his garage/barn combo and get a couple of Cubs - he really has taken a liking to Ellie ... in a major way. So he is helping me as time allows.
Troy has helped me find #1 TDC by opening up the valve cover and watching the valves. We found out that #4 and #5 valves are stuck open and the rest really needed to have the lash adjusted. Each of the other 6 valves were almost closed .. couldn't get the .013 feeler gauge between so we adjusted the valves as per the chart. Once we get #4 and #5 loosened up then we can adjust those as well.
Last night I redid the spark plug wires, new plugs, points and condenser are new so I dressed the points and adjusted the gap. The pony tank is basically shot so I gotta go get another pony tank and a few other items. Have added oil to the spark plug holes and boy can you not only feel the compression you can hear it improve even when just hand cranking slowly (trying to get to TDC). Put some liquid mechanic into the spark plug holes last night as well hoping that it will wick down and maybe loosen up whatever is holding those two vales up.
Any ideas on how to bring these two down? I really do not want to open this block .. with my luck (oh and it appears that this engine has never been touched .. ever) so I know darn well that I am going to end up with a couple broken head bolts and I just don't need the aggravation of that scenario. So .. ideas on bringing those two valves down would be appreciated. I think that if the valves will come down they will clean up nicely after the lash is done, engine starts and SeaFoam becomes another regular additive to Granny' s liquid diet.

We are arrived in Bayonne a day before departure and checked into the Wyndham Newark Bayonne Cruiseport. Do not be deceived. The night's stay was reasonable, rooms accomdating, and you can park your car on the hotel lot while you're cruising...HOWEVER.......the cost of a cab for a 5 minute ride to the ship is $65.00!! (Note: the reverse ride....> Ship back to the hotel was half the price. I don't get it.)
Embarkation was a breeze. My husband uses a cane, and they sure take care of the handicapped quickly.
Once on board, sipping champagne, we found our rooms ready. The only real problem of the first day was that my luggage did not appear until after dinner. My husband received all his bags quickly. Around 7:00 p.m. there was a call from luggage inspection people that we were to go below to open my suitcase..there was suspicious liquid in my suitcase. I was not happy. Once it was determined that all I had in my suitcase was the Celebrity permitted two bottles of wine, I was allowed to retrieve my suitcase, along with the wine, HOWEVER, in the luggage process a wheel had been sheared off the suitcase. In due course, the wheel was replaced, I drank my wine, and fun begun.
The next time I will stuff my wine bottles in my carry on so we can deal with this situation without holding up my luggage and all my clean underware!!
Dining: Oh, the food was wonderful! I am disappointed that the everyday appetizer of escargo has been removed from the menu. However, there were many other tasty dishes to make up for it.
Since the Excursions were so expensive and the descriptions misleading, we decided that "dining" can be an "excursion". At $40 per couple and lasting around 3 to 4 hours, it's a better deal than sitting in a stuffy bus with 25 people you don't know.

seriously if your complaining this is happening just get out.
anyways, there have been a lot of fights in boxing that have warranted trilogies and I don't see why this is any different, people complained about the 3rd fight and now a fourth one is in the works, and its odd, Arum for once seems to be talking Manny down saying recently he's not looked as sharp in training, while other reports Pac has been demolishing his sparring partners.
Is this maybe Arums way to ready the public not to expect too much from Pac? Whatever the excuse used in the 3rd fight, Pac didn't seem himself, but I think it's because Marquez's trainer said it best, he's not the same animal that KD Marquez 4 times, he's very very predictable and interrupting his rhythm seems to fuck everything up for him. Marquez did it with feints and what not. How do you guys think Manny could actually convincingly beat Marquez without a KO

I feel a ko coming for pac. I think marquez is convinced he has to stand and fight instead of BOXING in a BOXING MATCH to not get robbed.... again. And no offense to marquez but thus may be his Erik morales moment. He's up there in age swells up tremendously very fast and has not had a fight since the last pac fight. I hope I'm wrong because I'm a huge marquez but those are just my sentiments.
But I don't agree with the fact that you said pac wasn't himself, I think the problem was that he was himself and marquez knew he would be. The truth is pac is wild and has always been wild, a good boxer will always make him look like shit. No knock on pac because he is an animal

For the first time in four months, there has been a sighting of Jesse Jackson Jr.
The congressman was outside his Washington D.C. home Tuesday morning when a reporter and photographer saw him outside his million dollar home that is up for sale.
Pictures from thedaily.com show Jackson walking down the stairs smoking a cigar. The Daily reporter Mark Sticherz was the only person to talk to Jackson who said that he was either picking his children up from school or going to get them. In the three minute interview, Sticherz said Jackson seemed stressed, he never smiled, and he made very little eye contact.
"He was weary," said Sticherz. "Sounded like he didn't want to talk with me."
Close family sources tell Fox Chicago that the congressman met with federal agents "months" before he checked into the Mayo Clinic, where he has been on medical leave since June being treated for bi-polar disorder.
Federal investigators are also looking into possible misuse of campaign funds to pay for a home remodeling job at his five-level, four bedroom home in Washington's upscale Dupont Circle. A source told Fox Chicago that the money in question is somewhere around $20,000.
Jackson didn't talk about the allegations of misused funds---he just kept telling the reporter that he isn't doing well "mentally". Jackson's mental stability has being questioned, though he's still under a doctor's care.
"My second question to him, 'How are you doing congressman?" he said 'not well.' He was sitting in this plump cushion seat next to his dad and he had kind of a scowl on his face, as if he really didn't want to talk too long," Sticherz told Fox Chicago. "Although, he did want to point out that when our photographer at The Daily snapped pictures of him, that he wasn't loafing around, that he was picking up his kids from school."
There are two federal investigations going on with the congressman at the center and with less than three weeks to the election, some of his constituents and his congressional opponents in the second district say it's time to talk.

Town Square
Thirteen young women vie for Miss Alameda County crown
Original post made on Feb 19, 2008
The show will include dance numbers and professional and "celebrity" judges, including Dublin Mayor Janet Lockhart.

About the Miss Alameda County Scholarship Pageant:What experience do the judges have at accurately assessing physical fitness?
Is buying a ticket and looking at 13 young people in swimsuits going to show me their "lifestyle and fitness"? I suppose if the contestants were males, you'd check their physical education and athletic experience, not stand them up on a stage and stare at their lovely young bodies. Wouldn't a weightlifter contestant of any gender be judged "fit" on the records of how well they lifted how much weight for their class? Or if a female contestant were a fire fighter, couldn't she could pose in her fire suit including the 70-pound pack they wear while controlling a high pressure hose, and be judged "fit?"

What a crock! Begging for money from the public to provide a "scholarship"? BOYCOTT THIS MEAT MARKET PAGEANT...
on Feb 19, 2008 at 4:38 pm
Cholo, you should totally make signs and protest outside Amador Theater dressed in your swimsuit competition outfit! LOL! Better yet, rally up a bunch of intelligent young women who know better than to think the pageant is about academic scholarship and protest the pageant with them. That would be a sight! I wonder if those girls would want to show up in their swimsuits or maybe their evening gown outfits!
