I need a trash bag & Hazmat suit for all of the bullshit in my life. Wonder if Hefty makes one in ginormous-bullshit-life size.
Today, my son called me a bitch, in a round-about way. I must say, my level of disgust & hatred for his father has reached a new peak. From this viewpoint, I can actually feel the flames of hell licking my cheeks.
The bloody marys are helping, or they were before I ran outta vodka. Sonuvabitch!!! I may have entered the 9th ring of hell. Thanks for the roadmap, Dante!

We know you've bought one (or 2 or 9) flannel or plaid shirt this Summer. If you haven't, you will. Unless you're allergic to cotton, you'll be wearing this season's favorite flannel every chance you get. You'll soon discover, if you have not already, that you'll find yourself in need of a way to keep your flannels looking fresh every time you show up to homeroom wearing one. Here's a guide to different ways you can wear your preferred plaid to keep it looking new:
1. Wear it now: Lightweight plaid shirts are a perfect beach cover-up. If you follow the logic, this makes perfect sense. Follow here: Summer is the best time for biking, especially to and from the beach to cut-down on parking lot crowds. Hipsters love biking. Hipsters also love flannels. Therefore, flannels must be a Summer favorite. Plus, they look killer when paired with some classic Wayfarers.
2. Wear it Over a Dress: Balance out a cute new dress, that maybe is a bit too nice to wear on a casual night out, with a relaxed flannel. The lightweight shirt is perfect for a cooler Summer night, and the unfussy look takes your dress from overly-cutesy to fashion-forward with a touch of sass.
3. Tuck it into high-waisted skirts and pants: So amazingly 70's. It's an ode to Farrah Fawcett. It had a subtle sex-appeal then, just as it does now. Go ahead, try it.
4. Layer it: Look chill, cut the chill. Layer a flannel under a jacket or heavy sweater to jazz up your look with a little colorful print.
5. Wear it as a Dress: Grab some leggings. We know you have some. Add a belt around your natural waist. Bam, dress. Add a boot it if you're feeling like getting a little Americana on your day. This is all based on your flannel being long-enough to cover your bum. If it isn't, opt for pants (Survey says: "legging are not pants").
The flannel: Double shwing. Get your new flannels here.

You're a gamer. You rely on twitch reflexes and split-second decision making. Often times, millisecond differences can decide whether you—or the other guy—comes out on top. Aside from your PC, your mouse and keyboard are two of your most valuable weapons when wading into any virtual arena. They are extensions of yourself, the way you control each and every action. It is important that this control is precise and consistent. Understandably, for the serious gamer, a responsive keyboard is the way to go. However, finding the best gaming keyboard can be tough. No worries, we put together this one-stop-shop, comprehensive resource to provide you with the latest gaming keyboard reviews.

How do I find the best gaming keyboard for me?
When you're shopping for a gaming keyboard, there are a few factors you should consider.
Key Switches
There are two main varieties of key-types built into gaming keyboards: mechanical key switches and rubber-dome key switches (which also have a slight variation called the scissor switch). These rubber-dome keys feel mushy when pressed down, but some people like that. Most gamers herald mechanical keyboards as the gold standard but we have included a few interesting non-mechanical keyboard options in our list. To learn more about mechanical keyboards, check out our helpful mechanical gaming keyboard guide. A long story short, each key in a mechanical keyboard is paired with its own spring loaded switch. Many claim that the superior audio and tactile feedback give users an edge.
Features take on a whole new significance with gaming keyboards. Some features provide powerful functionality and when utilized, can likely give you a competitive advantage over your adversaries. This being said, you may be the type of gamer who prefers the no frills, minimalist designs that some peripheral manufacturers offer. Swappable key caps, back lighting, separate lighting zones (such as highlighting the WASD keys), extra programmable keys, statistic tracking, and touch screens are some of the features incorporated into select gaming keyboards. Heck, in a couple years you might be able to get one with a coffee and energy drink dispenser.
The aesthetic is another thing to take into consideration when shopping for the right keyboard. There are those who could care less as long as the keyboard performs well and is responsive. Others, however, want a keyboard that looks good with their gaming set-up. Some gamers want a keyboard that matches the brand of their mouse and others must have the flashy back lighting options. From the industrial design of Logitech keyboards, to the sleek look of Razer keyboards there are a variety of styles out there. Obviously, all of this comes down to personal preference and whether something "looks cool" is a matter of subjective opinion.
If you're spending a great deal of time on computers for school or work, day-to-day tasks, and entertainment (who isn't?) the ergonomic factor is something you should seriously consider. Nobody wants a drawn out battle with carpal tunnel that ends up getting them side lined for a few weeks. Take care of those wrists, mate.
Advantages of a Gaming Keyboard
Sure, a good gaming keyboard is not a replacement for having mad skill. But two equally skilled gamers going toe-to-toe with one using high-quality gaming keyboard and mouse while the other is using pack-in cheap peripherals the former is obviously going to have the upper-hand. Here are some of the most notable advantages of using a gaming keyboard.
- Supports concurrent key presses. Most cheap keyboards support, at the very most, 3 concurrent presses. If you're playing a game like Starcraft 2 or a FPS/Fighter/MOBA where you need to execute multiple commands in the blink of an eye, anti-ghosting technology will ensure every key you press registers simultaneously and accurately.
- More responsive. Gaming keyboards will reduce the delay between keystroke and action. In high levels of play every millisecond counts.
- Longevity. Many of these gaming keyboards are built to last (about 10x longer than your average keyboard), making the extra cost a worthwhile investment. Most gamers put their keyboards through a lot of punishment and its important that the most used keys stay as responsive as possible. Some manufacturers guarantee their boards for over 50 million keystroke cycles. That's a lot of keystroking.
- Ergonomically designed. Now, not every gaming keyboard puts ergonomics first (or even last) in their design scheme. Nonetheless, some gaming keyboards do a great job of taking care of your wrists. If you're someone who likes marathon gaming sessions this is something to seriously consider.
- Tactile and auditory feedback. This is a big factor, particularly for mechanical boards, that assists gamers in feeling and hearing every command being actuated. Some gamers rave about mechanical switches and how they even make typing a more enjoyable experience. We do know this: once someone has tried a mechanical keyboard, they usually never go back.
Gaming Keyboard Reviews – The Top 5:
Like anything, you can get a really nice gaming keyboard if you're willing to fork out the cash. That being said, we looked at a variety of keyboards at different price points. Any of these gaming keyboards are a great buy.
ROCCAT Ryos MK Pro
What can we say? The ROCCAT MK Pro is one of the best gaming keyboards on the market. It is the product of sweet, sweet German engineering. It is ROCCAT Studios' best of the best. The Ryos MK Pro is a mechanical keyboard available in any flavor of Cherry MX Switches you prefer. It features 3 programmable thumb buttons under the space bar and 5 programmable macro keys that run along the left side of the keyboard. On top of this, Roccat included an easy shift key in place of caps lock, which gives you the ability to give every key on the board a secondary key function. A nice bonus is that your entire configuration (including lighting) will be saved in the 2MB flash memory so using it on multiple PCs is a breeze.
This keyboard is an illumination novelty. The lightning customization is nearly limitless and you can come up with any pattern that suits your fancy. You can have waves, pulsing, blinking zones, or a mix of all the above for complete anarchy… quite literally any pattern you can think up can be programmed into this board. You can even add special effects to each keystroke. All this is done with included software. What's the point of all this lighting wizardy? Besides seeing the keys at night, we can't think of one. But damn does it look cool.
Rest assured, none of these advanced features will cost you a bit of performance. The Ryos MK Pro has two 32-bit ARM Cortex processors built into the keyboard. This ensures your macros and all programmed keys stay optimally responsive. These processors also aid in tracking your statistics which you can view with the Roccat R.A.D. application (Roccat Achievements Display).
Is it spendy? Hell yes it is. At $169.99 you better have deep pockets or one heck of a promising eSports career lined up. But then again, this beast is in the ultra-premium category so that price tag comes with the territory.
Additional Features:
- Advanced anti-ghosting
- Finger-print smudge proof
- Audio in/out and two USB ports
- Integrated wrist rest
- 1000hz polling rate, 1 ms response time
- 1.8 rear-exit braided cable, 5 Rubber feet
Mad Catz S.T.R.I.K.E.5 Gaming Keyboard
The Batmobile of keyboards. Mad Catz takes keyboard design to the next level with this one. The Strike 5 isn't just a keyboard. It is a fully modular system that you can set up and customize to meet your own physical arrangement needs. It has 5 separate hardware modules: the main keyboard itself, the LCD Display, a function strip with programmable buttons, the numpad module, and a 3-part active palm rest and two wrist rests. If that sounds like a lot, that's because it is. What does this mean for your gaming setup? This video shows it better than we can say it:
Oddly enough, it doesn't feature mechanical keys, Mad Catz opts to use what they call a specially engineered membrane which mimics the tactile feel generated by the mechanical keys. What Mad Catz has tried to do with these keys is match the actuation force of Cherry MX Blue switches and mimic the feel of MX Brown switches. The result? The keys are definitely quieter than keyboards with mechanical switches. They fortunately do not feel spongy and maintain a springy feel that most of us gamers crave. It is an excellent example of membrane input done right.
The matte surfaces, fancy screen, sharp lines, and metal undercarriage give the system an edgy look. The Strike 5 is a fully ergonomic system. Utilizing the different wrists rests will give you peace of mind over your wrists' health during those extended gaming sessions. If you're one of those guys who settles nothing short of the latest and greatest, you can pick this exceptional
piece pieces of hardware for one easy payment of about $170.
One thing to note here is that Mad Catz Strike 5 keyboard is over $100 less and is nearly identical to the Strike 7 board minus the touchscreen functionality (though it still has a display module with the same features). So if you can do without the touch capability you can save yourself the 100 bucks. But what the heck, what's another $100?
Additional Features:
- 24 programmable keys
- Full RGB backlighting, 16 million color variants
- Interchangeable WASD and cursor keys
- Integrated TeamSpeak Functionality
- 2 USB ports
- Graphical Interface to program keys/fine tune settings
Logitech G710+ Mechanical Gaming Keyboard
Logitech has been in the computer peripheral business for a long time, and it definitely shows in their first mechanical gaming keyboard product, the G710+. It is definitely one of the best built gaming keyboards out there with an industrial look and feel that is just plain solid. It is a pretty spendy keyboard, but Logitech packs in a ton of extra features. It has 6 programmable "G" keys on the left edge. When Logitech says programmable, they mean it. These keys can be configured to perform 18 unique functions per game. Whether that be complex macros, single key commands, or even Lua scripts is completely up to you.
Logitech chose to go with Cherry MX Brown switches which make this keyboard a joy to type with. The keys are tactile, with non-clicking key switches resulting in relatively quiet mechanical keys. The backlighting system is very functional and straightforward, with one zone for the WASD and arrow keys and the other zone for the rest of the keys. The backlight color is an off-white color which can be adjusted to off or one of the four different brightness levels.
A detachable palm rest and key rollover/anti-ghosting round out this keyboard. If you're someone who's big on programmable features, a fan of Logitech gear, or your just looking for something to match your snazzy Logitech mouse this premium keyboard fits the bill. At $120 the price isn't anything to sneeze at, but for the money you're getting one well-engineered gaming keyboard that is built to last.
Additional Features:
- Integrated USB 2.0 port
- Game/desktop mode disables Windows and context menu keys
- One-touch media keys
Corsair Vengeance K70 Gaming Keyboard
There is just something about that sexy black anodized, brushed aluminum frame that makes it hard not to stare. Matched with red backlighting, Corsair has crafted quite the visually appealing board. The K70 is a mechanical keyboard offered with Cherry MX Red, Blue, and Brown switches. It sports 6 helpful dedicated multimedia keys. The contoured WASD and 1-6 keys assist gamers in finding the right keys and minimize keystroke mistakes.
Backlighting can be tweaked key-by-key so you can choose to light up any selection of keys you want with a deep red glow. The lightning configuration is stored to the keyboard's internal memory so your light maps will be carried over to different systems. Of course, Corsair has included full key rollover and full key matrix anti-ghosting so input is 100% accurate even if you're mashing out that consistent 200+ APM. The keyboard is completed with a textured removable wrist rest.
Even though Corsair is relatively new to manufacturing gaming peripherals they got this one right. High quality components. Simple design. The K70 delivers great performance and most gamers couldn't ask for more.
Cooler Master (CM) Storm Quickfire Rapid – Tenkeyless
Pleasing minimalists everywhere, this mechanical TKL keyboard is the most compact keyboard in our 5 best gaming keyboards. One of the arguments behind a keyboard design without a numpad section is that it provides more space for your mouse and allows a more ergonomic body position (shoulders are able to be more comfortably positioned). Think what you will, the bottom line is sometimes it's just nice to free up extra desk space and maintain a clean minimalist look.
The great part is that this small keyboard doesn't sacrifice anything when it comes to quality. It sports lazer etched key-caps, N-Key rollover functionality, 6 extra key caps, multimedia shortcut keys, and a removable USB cable. Also, a big selling point for us is that CM offers this keyboard in all 5 different Cherry MX Switch variations. Check out what is a mechanical keyboard if you want to learn more about these switches. If your looking for a no frills keyboard worthy of competitive gamers, look no further. At about $80 the CM Storm Quickfire is an extremely attractive value proposition. 'Nuff said.
Honorable Mentions
SteelSeries 6Gv2 and APEX Gaming Keyboard
We are a big fan of SteelSeries products and you definitely can't go wrong with one their keyboards. The 6Gv2 is a high quality, solidly built keyboard that comes in two different versions: a cherry red and cherry black switch verison, both considered two of the best switches for gaming. They don't come with many features, but performance wise they are pro gaming quality. With an $80 price tag to boot, many gamers have made this there keyboard of choice.
SteelSeries also recently came out with the Apex Gaming Keyboard. We love the unique design. It is a huge keyboard with extra-large keys. Additionally, it is more feature rich than the 6Gv2. While it is not a mechanical keyboard, it is still worth a look. Especially if you're used to a laptop keyboard and like the feel of flatter keys. It comes with an impeccable software suite called the SteelSeries Engine which makes macro creation and managing configuration profiles a cakewalk.
Razer BlackWidow Mechanical Keyboard Standard Edition
We had to make room for a Razer product. They hold a special place in our hearts and while they do throw a lot of money into marketing all their gear, most of it backs up the hype. The BlackWidow is a great product if you're looking for a keyboard with Cherry MX Blue switches. Of course, it sports a sleek look that is a staple of all Razer products and looks great when coupled with a Razer mouse. Why didn't we select the ultimate edition? Well for the extra $50 all your getting is backlighting and headphone/usb ports. If that's worth $50 to you its your call. Either way, your going to get one of Razer's best and most popular products.

The U.S. defense budget is challenged perhaps as never before in modern times from without and within. The 2010 bipartisan Budget Control Act (BCA) imposed minimum reductions of some $480 billion over the next ten years. There is also the possibility of an additional cut in defense spending of around $500 billion over the same ten-year period if the provision in the BCA for sequestration is triggered in January 2013.
Defense officials have characterized this additional decline in spending as nothing short of catastrophic. Within the defense budget there is the imperative to modernize elements of the force that are relying on equipment and systems 30, 40 and even 50 years old. There is also the growing cost of so-called defense entitlements that are must-pay bills but which limit the availability of resources for critical investments.
To meet these internal and external challenges, the Department of Defense has been pursuing a two-pronged strategy of seeking greater efficiency in defense activities and reforming the acquisition process. Efficiency measures have resulted in some $200 billion in savings through personnel reductions, base closures and organizational reforms. Acquisition reform has focused on reining in the requirements process, curbing the use of high risk technologies, improving management techniques and increasing the use of competitive contracting.
The problem is that current reform efforts focus only on part of the problem and the portion that may be least amenable to rapid or radical change. In truth, the development and procurement of advanced weapons systems is inherently a costly and risky business. Current acquisition reform efforts are largely directed at addressing cost growth and technical failures associated with the acquisition of major weapons systems. But even if the acquisition system were functioning perfectly, pressures from within the defense budget would necessitate a serious effort to cut costs.
There are a host of hidden cost drivers that act as a significant tax on the effective utilization of defense resources while not providing clear benefits. These include: excessive regulation and specifications, barriers to full and fair competition, poor cost accounting and inadequate cost analyses, outdated supply chain management techniques and the uneconomical funding for programs. Many of these same factors make it difficult to reduce costs by applying commercial best practices to defense activities. In addition, they act as impediments to efforts by non-traditional defense companies to enter the sector, thereby reducing the potential pool of competitors for defense contracts, as well as reducing opportunities for the transfer of innovative products and processes into defense production.
Numerous studies and many reform efforts have shown that substantial cost savings can be realized by addressing these hidden cost drivers. Reducing the regulatory burden on defense activities alone could save tens of billions of dollars a year. Taken together, the savings could be between $45 and $95 billion a year. Addressing the array of hidden costs in the defense budget could secure sufficient savings to offset the impact of sequestration. Moreover, these savings could be realized without any reduction in the size or capability of the U.S. military.

A Manhattan goes perfectly with she-crab dip and crackers here at Fleet Landing on a chilly December night. Many restaurants in Charleston, South Carolina, feature she-crab on the menu. It is used in one of Charleston's signature recipes, she-crab soup, which is named after the 'She-Crab', or female crab. She-crab also tastes great in this dip! The Manhattan was pretty great too.☺♥
Charleston is always wonderful.

Noncartilaginous Airways – Both conducting airways and sites of gas exchange. Dichotomous Branching Each airway divides into two "daughter" branches Each division (bifurcation) gives rise to a new generation of airways As airways divide, they become Shorter Narrower More numerous Cartilaginous Airways Trachea Main Stem Bronchi Lobar Bronchi Segmental Bronchi Subsegmental Bronchi TRACHEA Generation 0 11 – 13 cm long and 1.5 – 2.5 cm wide. Extends from Cricoid cartilage (6th cervical vertebrae) to the 2nd costal cartilage or 5th thoracic vertebrae. C6 – T5 15 - 20 C-shaped cartilages supports the trachea. Posterior wall is contiguous with esophagus TRACHEA The end of the trachea is called the carina. This is the division of the trachea into the right and left mainstem bronchi. Air is 100% saturated with water vapor and is . warmed to 37 °C (body temperature). The carina is located at approximately T5 or the Angle of Louis. The surgical opening into the trachea is called a tracheostomy. 2nd or 3rd tracheal ring. Main Stem Bronchi Generation 1 Trachea divides into the right and left mainstem bronchi – one for each lung Right Mainstem is wider, shorter and more vertical Branches at a 25 degree angle Left Mainstem Branches at a 40 – 60 angle Infants Both mainstem bronchi form a 55 angle with the trachea Lobar Bronchi Generation 2 Lobar Bronchi correlate to the number of lobes of the lung. The right mainstem bronchi will divide into the right upper, right middle and right lower lobe bronchi. The left mainstem bronchi will divide into the left upper and left lower lobe bronchi. Segmental Bronchi Generation 3 Correlate with the segments of the lung. There are 10 segmental bronchi on the right. There are 8 segmental bronchi on the left. Subsegmental Bronchi 4th to 9th Generations 1 to 4 mm in diameter Connective tissue containing: -Nerves -Lymphatics -Bronchial Arteries Non-Cartilaginous Airways Bronchioles 10th to 15th Generation. 1 mm in diameter. Simple cuboidal epithelium. No cartilage. Terminal Bronchioles Less than 0.5 mm in diameter. No cartilage (lack of support). Cilia and mucous glands disappear. Clara Cells appear Inter-bronchiole connections called Canals of Lambert begin to appear. Blood Supply to the Tracheobronchial Tree Bronchial Blood Supply Bronchial arteries nourish the tracheobronchial tree The arteries arise from the aorta and follow the tracheobronchial tree as far as the terminal bronchioles. Beyond the terminal bronchioles pulmonary arteries & capillaries feed the airways & alveoli. Normal bronchial blood flow is approximately 1% of the cardiac output. Also feed the mediastinal lymph nodes, pulmonary nerves, part of the esophagus and the visceral pleura QUESTIONS ?

Bohemian Rhapsody (Vocals Only) | Queen
His voice was actual perfection.
I love this
I have the music so ingrained in my head I couldn't NOT hear the instruments.
listen with headphones so you can really appreciate everything going on vocally in this song
But even if you listen to this with just the vocals you can *hear* the instruments in your head.
im drowning in a sea of emotion
go into a room by yourself, turn off of the lights, plug in headphone, and just sit in awe.

The was once talk of another six holes being added, and even another 24 holes on top of that. Is any expansion still in the works?
I don't know, but I'm all for it as long as the original 18 isn't altered. This is my favorite course and I wouldn't change a thing.
yes still in the works to expand. none of the original course will be altered in the expansion. looking to lay course out this year and getting baskets and tee pads next year

Thinking about driving down today, hows the drainage here? Is it flooded?
It was two weeks ago, but when I played everything was pretty dry
Brandon Schmuker April 17 at 4:49pm
Pretty disappointed to see that the bench by the pad on hole 15 was smashed. Let's all do our part to keep this course clean and vandalism-free. Love this course and would hate to see it get trashed.
ya it's been like that for a year now so we don't put no more out hope u come back when we clean it up more from the Ice strom
Oh I'll be back for sure. Just hoping we can get the word out and keep the course clean

Brad Gee August 22, 2013 at 3:18pm
I don't understand how someone can play this course yesterday and rate it a B. Hardly any mosquitoes, no crowd, mowed fairways, and baskets in the short position.
You may be experiencing the frustration I've had with the report -card rating system. The is no accountability on the part of the rater, so, nothing learned by the readers. I had recommended to DGS a system that gave +3 to -3 for the common course characteristics (shot variety, facility maintenance, etc). They panned the idea. I'm going to try another angle.
At the very least, old reviews should dissappear and drop off the overall rating, so that a course like HH that started out with no cement and impossible fairways and thick underbrush gets its proper accolades when improvements are made.
I agree with you. The only thing I can think of is the holes are a lot shorter than alot of the newer corses popping up. Still Hammond is a very nice course I look forward to playing each time. Nothing but hills man!
Last time I played Hammond Hill it was a great experience. Today looks like a good day to be there!!
I played very early in the year and there were a ton of mosquitoes. We did, however, have flooding before-hand, so it was understandable.
Either way, love the course.

Mountains Never Meet but People Can Meet AgainPosted in Africa, Clips, Travel on March 20, 2012 by frankbures
Last fall, I got a long overdue chance to go back to Arusha, Tanzania, where I lived and taught English in the 1990s. It was a great trip, and shocking to see how much the place has changed, all of which I wrote about in a story called The Reunion for the Washington Post Magazine.
While I was there, I spent the first few days just walking around noticing all the things that were different and all the things that were the same. One day I was looking for a little restaurant some friends and I used to go to. I stopped at a bar I thought might have been the place. There were some young people standing around near the gate, so I asked them if this used to be the place.
"I don't know," one of them said. "How long ago was it?"
"Ha!" She laughed, " I wasn't even born yet."
The whole trip was filled with moments like that, and I always had the feeling of being able to see the past and present and future converging at one point. Yet while many things had changed, others hadn't, like the warmth and humor and openness that I remembered so well. You can read the story here, see some great photos by Sarah Elliot here, and listen to an interview I did for Michel Martin's Tell Me More about it all here. If that's not enough, you can even go back and read a story I did way back called Test Day, which is still oddly popular, and which serves as a nice bookend to this one.
The Rise of Mobile Technology in AfricaPosted in Africa, Clips on March 6, 2012 by frankbures
A few months ago, as I walked down narrow Dubois Road, in the Central Business District of Nairobi, Kenya, I came to a small shop selling cell phones. There are thousands of these stores across the city. In some places, they line both sides of the street.
When I got to the counter, I asked the young man, whose name was Paul, about getting a SIM card for my phone so I could make calls in Kenya. I handed the phone to him. He took it, looked at it, then shook his head in pity.
"This is a very old phone. It is a phone from zamani!" he said. The Swahili word he used means "a long time ago," but it can also mean ancient times, prehistory. I felt a little like Richard Leakey bearing some fossilized tool I'd just dug up in the Olduvai Gorge.
The phone was not that old. I bought it in 2005 in Nigeria.
Fate or Fatalism?Posted in Africa, Clips, Travel on February 28, 2012 by frankbures
In a bookshop on Kenyatta Avenue, in the heart of downtown Nairobi, I was talking to an old woman named Patricia who was working there. I mentioned how much Nairobi had changed since the last time I visited, more than a decade ago. There were more cars now. More people. There were so many huge stores these days full of goods to buy.
"But the cost of living," she added.
"You mean the food prices?" I asked.
"Yes," she said. "That was when life began to change for us. The cost of living keeps going up. There are some people who can't even feed themselves. Can you imagine not being able to feed yourself?"
I nodded. "Yes," I said. "I can imagine."
It seemed like the right answer. But later, as I thought about it, I realized that in fact it is very hard to imagine. I can imagine it in my head, but I can't really imagine what that would feel like. Maybe the mind doesn't let one imagine those kinds of things. Maybe when your belly is full, the possibility simply vanishes. There is no way to know how you would react.
Nairobi: 24 Hours in PhotosPosted in Africa, Arts in Africa, Books, Travel on February 17, 2012 by frankbures
Last fall I got to spend some time in Nairobi, a city that has changed much since the last time I'd been there. Today the streets pulse with people and it has the energy of a megacity, which it might be by now. Like all the great urban centers of Africa, it also has a growing community of writers, artists and photographers who are defining the city on their own terms. One of the best examples is a book I picked up called Nairobi: An exploration of a city by photographers and writers, put out by the literary cadre at Kwani?
It's a gorgeous collection that evokes almost as many worlds as the city contains. Culled from 15,000 photos, it is meant to capture the city over a 24-hour span, along with thoughtful essays by some of the best new writers like Parselelo Kantai, David Kaiza and others. The range is breathtaking, from the bloody to the beautiful, from the glamour of Nairobi's upper crust, to the grit it takes to survive at the bottom. Like the city itself, it is a book you can get lost in or lose yourself in, an ocean of images to sail across or sink into. It isn't available to order yet, but you can get a taste at the 24 Nairobi website.

The Food Less TraveledPosted in Africa, Clips, Travel on November 4, 2011 by frankbures
The best meal I ever ate was at a roadside restaurant in the middle of Nigeria. I was in a microbus heading north through an otherworldly landscape strewn with giant boulders. It was mid-morning when we pulled over at an open-air restaurant. The counter where people were ordering was jammed. An old man, seeing my confusion, explained the menu and ordered for me.
We sat down, and the waiter brought our food: a ball of pounded yam and a bowl of egusi soup, made with crushed melon seeds and containing a hunk of beef. The waiter asked if I wanted utensils. I looked around. No one else had them.
The old man leaned over. "You know," he remarked, "they say your food tastes better when you eat it with your hands." Sometimes I still wonder why that meal was so transcendent.

Just like anything else, I think that it depends upon the mental fortitude of the fighter. Khan seems to have recovered nicely. Hell, Barrera's had more than a couple throughout his career, and was able to recover.Fighters like Hatton, Lacy, Taylor weren't able to get past it at all. Kelly Pavlik remains to be seen, but if his performance is anything to go from, I think this time off could do him more good than he thinks. I'm routing for him, though. In some cases, a loss makes a fighter better (I expect Froch to improve considerably once he gets beaten for the first time). Eubank wasn't the same after Collins either (Mind you, he wasn't the same after Watson II either). As I said, it depends on a figher's mental fortitude.

Well....depends on which fighter you look at.
John Ruiz used to be an exciting fighter until he got decapitated by David Tua. Since that fight, he became a punch and clinch fighter.

i dont believe when you lose a fight you lose your confident. maybe for some fighters but not for a world class fighter like Cotto. Clottey was not an easy opponent. you guys were talking like CLottey was not a good boxer. He beat a very good welterweight fighter who look bigger and stronger than him. if Cotto wanted to look good he would have fought JMM in a 144 lbs and destroy him. i think he is alright.

Clottey won that fight. But Cotto looked like crap either way. Blame the cut if you want, but Cotto looked like crap and a wounded duck in the late rounds. Clotteys an idiot for not letting his hands go

A Systematic approach to identify systemically important firms
AbstractThis paper uses the average of the percentile ranking of three measures of systemic risk - Granger Causality, Marginal Expected Shortfall, and Conditional Value at Risk - to calculate a single systemic risk index (SRI) for a lrm. The SRI is used to identify systemically important lrms (SIFs) among the 50 largest lrms in a quarter. This has the advantage of identifying SIFs on a regular basis using readily available data. The paper uses this approach to identify SIFs by SRI each quarter from 2000 to 2012, and lnds that the cumulative risk of the SIFs tracks the changes in systemic risk in India during the 2008 crisis. The paper also lnds merit in monitoring non-lnancial lrms by their SRI, particularly when bank loan portfolios have concentrated exposures in these firms.
