Possible Norse settlements Downeast explored
by Susan Esposito
Is there a Norse settlement yet to be found in eastern Maine? Oral folklore proclaiming that the Norse settled in the area is especially strong in eastern coastal Maine. However, as yet, no substantial evidence to support this theory has been found.
Harold Borns Jr., a professor emeritus of glacial and ice age geology at the University of Maine, has spent about 30 field seasons determining the ice age history of eastern coastal Maine as an ongoing project. Traveling throughout Maine for many years, he has become aware of widespread stories of Viking exploration and settling eastern coastal Maine. These stories seem to be particularly common knowledge among the older residents of Washington County.
Two of the Icelandic sagas, written in about 1250 A.D., describe the "sighting of a new land and settling of a place called Vinland." In the late 1800s the sagas were translated from Old Icelandic into Latin. European scholars first realized that the Viking explorer's description of Vinland most likely located it along the northeastern coast of North America. In 1906, the Vinland sagas were translated into English, and it became widespread knowledge that the Norse had discovered and established short-lived colonies in this place they called Vinland. Evidence is firm regarding the discovery of North America, but the details of Vinland's exact location remains a mystery even today.
Following sailing directions and observing landmarks that Leif Ericksson and others described in the sagas, many latter-day explorers have attempted to locate Vinland in the Northeast: on Mount Desert Island and in the Boston area, on Cape Cod, in Rhode Island and as far south as Virginia. However, no definitive evidence of a Viking colony was ever found until 1961 when the Norwegians Helge Ingstad and his wife Dr. Anne Stine (Ingstad), after years of research, located the first Norse settlement in North America at L'Anse-aux-Meadows, on the northern tip of Newfoundland.
The answer to the dilemma of whether L'Anse-aux-Meadows was an actual Norse habitation site was confirmed with the discovery of a small iron smelter found within the site where bog-iron had probably been smelted for general use, but more importantly the smelter site yielded characteristic iron rivets of the type used throughout the Viking era for repairing Norse ships. Also found were rivets that the inhabitants had removed from Norse ships being repaired. Clearly, L'Anse-aux-Meadows was a Norse habitation site. Carbon 14 dating of charcoal from the smelter site yielded a date of about 1000 A.D., which is consistent with both the sagas and the time of the Greenland Colony, which existed between approximately 985 and 1300 A.D.
Archaeologists have concluded that L'Anse-aux-Meadows was the first Norse site found in North America. They have also concluded that the settlement had been occupied by small groups of people for short periods over a long time. L'Anse-aux-Meadows appears to have been a way-station for Norsemen traveling south.
L'Anse-aux-Meadows was not the Vinland described in the sagas. The sagas tell that Torvald, Leif Ericksson's brother, and others spent two or more years at Vinland, to the south of L'Anse-aux-Meadows and which could be located anywhere from the Gulf of St. Lawrence, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia or Passamaquoddy Bay. The sailing directions, according to a map found in Edward Reman's 1949 book, The Norse Discoveries and Explorations of America, placed Norse explorers around the outside of Nova Scotia and into the Bay of Fundy or Passamaquoddy Bay.
Several places, inscriptions and objects found in Maine have been attributed to the Norse explorers. For example, Norse Pond, located in Trescott between Cutler and Lubec on the Bold Coast, is perhaps the best known site attributed to the Norse. This is a small pond, dammed up by a cobble ridge, which was named by the early settlers of the area. Their reasoning, as far as can be determined from literature, was, "The pond is dammed up. We didn't do it. Indians don't build rock dams, and therefore it was done by Vikings." Local folklore goes on to conjecture that the Norse were attracted to the sandy beach below the pond where the outlet stream tumbles down a cliff to the beach. Norse explorers could have easily seen the waterfall from sea and realized that they could readily replenish their ships' water supply there. But why did they bother to dam the pond at all?
Professor Ronald Davis and Professor Borns investigated the origin of this historic pond for a potential buyer about 20 years ago. Core samples of the sediments on the floor of the pond and radiocarbon age-dated the earliest pond vegetation that formed. The pond was formed about 12,000 years ago. As the high sea level of the late-glacial age fell from an elevation of 250 feet to the present level, a wave-built cobble beach formed which dammed up the small stream, thereby forming Norse Pond. Clearly this predates any possible activity by Norse explorers who first came to North America at about 1000 A.D.
Beyond Norse Pond, other Norse objects have been reported from the Passamaquoddy Bay region. A story of Norse ship remains near Eastport has not been examined or evaluated. A three-inch iron spike from South Lubec Beach proved to be a common barn spike from the late 19th century. Runic writing on ledge near the outlet of Norse Pond has been clearly rejected as runic or Norse. Dikes and canals near Pembroke are yet to be adequately examined, and a Viking iron axe-head from Pembroke was recently proved to be a French Acadian trade axe. A small silver Norse penny was found at Naskeag Point in Brooklin and proved to be minted in Norway between 1065 and 1080 A.D., and probably arrived at Naskeag Point from Greenland or Newfoundland by way of native trade networks. The penny has a small hole drilled into it, suggesting that it was worn as a pendant or clothing ornament. Further south in Maine are reports of Norse runic inscriptions, which have been long discredited.
So, back to asking the same question: Why is Norse folklore so strong in eastern coastal Maine compared to other areas along the coast to the south? It would be important to understand the origin of the folklore. Does it pre- or post-date the translation of the two sagas that report the discovery of North America? There may be real evidence yet to be discovered. For example, did the early French Jesuits discover evidence of the Norse from the Indians they lived with? A search of a series of reports from 1632B1673 called The Jesuit Relations is certainly in order. On the other hand, if the folklore started after translation of the sagas into English, which reveals the Norse discovery of North America, then the folklore may be the result of the frantic local search for Viking sites that followed this revelation.
A colleague of Borns who works in the Middle Ages Division of the Danish National Museum in Copenhagen, Denmark, suggests that there is a need to search northeastern coastal Maine for a settlement. This suggestion was based to a large degree on the intensive search for Vinland made by Edward Reman in 1949, which was based upon directional information recorded in the sagas. It is felt that Reman was an exceptionally competent ship's captain and marine navigator. His work pre-dates that of the Ingstads; however, his reconstructed route to Vinland bypasses L'Anse-aux-Meadows, around Nova Scotia and to Grand Manan, around West Quoddy Head and into Cobscook Bay, thereby establishing the Vinland colony inland of the West Quoddy Head-Lubec/Eastport area. On the other hand, another look at the geography of the region may suggest that the Norse could have traveled south of L'Anse-aux-Meadows into the Gulf of St. Lawrence and established their Vinland colony along the Gulf of St. Lawrence shores.
Borns believes that the search needs to continue given the possibility that Reman was correct, and that eastern Maine was Vinland and that Leif Ericksson explored and colonized the area for several years.
In searching the coast of eastern Maine, Borns points out, it must be kept in mind that the land had submerged up to three feet since the year 1000 A.D., likely destroying much, if not all, of any Norse shoreline sites. In contrast, the shoreline at L'Anse-aux-Meadows has risen several feet, which has guaranteed protection from shoreline erosion.
Any information, whether hearsay or direct observation, on possible Norse places or artifacts would be welcome by Professor Harold W. Borns Jr.. He may be contacted by writing to him at the Climate Change Institute, Bryand Global Science Center, University of Maine, Orono ME 04469, or emailing <email@example.com>.

Texas RB Jamaal Charles has declared for the 2008 NFL Draft.There's no question about Charles' talent, but more was expected from him in college. He's been timed at 4.2 in the forty, finished his career on a high note, and has great growth potential at 6'1/205, but concerns about his ball security and consistency will likely keep him out of the first round.
Maryland LB Erin Henderson has declared for the 2008 NFL Draft.E.J.'s little brother played the weak side for the Terps, but could be looked at as a 3-4 inside linebacker by NFL teams. He led Maryland in tackles with 133 as a junior despite playing through injuries. With good workouts, Henderson appears to have a good chance at being a first-day pick in April.
Boise State OT Ryan Clady has declared for the NFL Draft.Clady, a redshirt junior, is considered the No. 2 offensive tackle prospect behind Michigan's Jake Long. He is the first player from Boise to ever leave school early. Clady has a good chance to be a first-round pick in April.
ÃÂ Kenny Phillips has opted to leave UM early for the NFL, leaving the Canes with Anthony Red**CENSORED** and Lovon Ponder as the likely starters entering next season.Phillips is projected as a first round pick, and some experts have him going in the top 15.Phillips had 91 tackles and one interception last season. As a sophomore he was a third-team All-American and second-team All-ACC despite missing the final three games with a broken thumb. He had 71 tackles, six for losses, with four interceptions.He played as a true freshman in 2005, and was named to the Rivals.com All-Freshman team. He started 11 games and had 88 tackles and an interception.Coming out of Miami Carol City High School he was the nation's top safety prospect. He intercepted 16 passes in high school, and as a senior he had 84 tackles and six interceptions. He played in the prestigious Army All-American Bowl.
Miami (FL) DE Calais Campbell has declared for the 2008 NFL Draft.Campbell looked like a top-five pick entering his junior season, but struggled to fend off the double teams his big name status brought and ended with only six sacks on the year. His frame (nearly 6'8/280) and athleticism should still keep Campbell hovering near a first-round grade heading to April.
Florida DE Derrick Harvey has declared for the 2008 NFL Draft.Harvey stands about 6'5 and is on the lanky side at 250 lbs, but can get to the passer. He led the Gators in sacks with 8.5 as a junior. Depending on how he tests, Harvey could be viewed as an outside linebacker by 3-4 clubs.
I'm a playa from way back and playa's gotta play. I'm straight pimpin'. Southside OG's keep it real. Represent the third coast.
I'm intrigued with Tyson Jackson but I dunno if he declares. The juniors are clearly dominating this draft class.

"If you would play the game even a little, you'd be in a position where you could change things around here."
- Dr. Benson, Scrubs
Tonight's Strikeforce on CBS event is arguably the biggest to date for Strikeforce, featuring the world's best fighter. Yet, as important as this card is for Strikeforce, the reality is that Fedor is not a fighter that's shown the ability to draw as a headliner. My latest column on Heavy.com addresses the unfortunate difficulties of promotion the world's best fighter.
It makes Fedor's relationship with Strikeforce particularly compelling. They are the latest promotion to wind up in bed with M-1, on the hook for similar financial considerations as previous promoters who've worked with Fedor. There are a variety of reasons why the move makes more sense for Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker, and to be brief, the decision has a greater potential for reward than it carried in the past. Still, we're talking about a high-priced fighter with limited appeal being used as an international star for a promotion that has only just taken their business national. Calling it a recipe for disaster wouldn't be entirely unreasonable.
Not that it's destined to fail in the same way that relationships with BODOGFight and Affliction were, but the problem is that Fedor's greatest potential to match his drawing power to his talent level is to be seen by the audience at large as the greatest in the world. Putting aside the fact that promoting a fighter as the greatest in the world has not yet been an effective strategy, Fedor has a very small talent pool in Strikeforce with which to prove his status as the best to a mainstream audience.
Let's not forget the issue that looms over the entire Fedor circumstance: He's not fighting the champ. Certainly the champ he should be fighting is Brock Lesnar, the sports biggest star and rightful challenger to Fedor's proverbial throne, but it's well documented that the fight won't be happening. And yet, Fedor can't even get a fight with Strikeforce Heavyweight Champion Alistair Overeem, who is unavailable due to commitments in kickboxing and with other MMA promotions. That would be fine if Overeem had defended his title, oh, say, at any point ever, but he has yet to do so in his more than two years as champion. Overeem has mentioned that he'd like to fight Fedor in the first half of 2010, but you'll forgive if I don't hold my breath for that one.
Of course, in the past couple hours we've learned that Fedor will fight Rogers for the phony baloney WAMMA Heavyweight title, which has about as much significance to anyone as Fedor's days in PRIDE do to the casual audience in 2009. And what's up with the announcement of the title being on the line being made less than 24-hours prior to the match? That's some low-rent stuff right there.

COLUMBUS, GA (WMGT) As the gun control debate continues in Washington, a Columbus, Georgia company has what it says is the answer to make guns safer without putting any restrictions on the owner.The company is called Gun Safe Technology, Inc. It's a group made up of doctors, lawyers, and law enforcement officers. They have designed a finger print scanner to go on your gun, so you decide who fires your weapon."We have some pretty unique features in our design, so that if the person attempts to remove the device from the weapon, it will literally destroy the weapon," Charlie Miller explains. Miller is a business attorney in Columbus, and is also on the Board of Directors for Gun Safe Technology.Miller explained that this technology might be a bit rudimentary right now, but they have a design plan to install a new type of scanner that will be installed inside the gun, rather than mounted to the outside.The finger print scanner is also an instant scan, so there is no wait time to activate your weapon. 20,000 people can be put into the computer system, which Miller said would be to accommodate a police force or battalion of soldiers.Once a person scans their finger into their gun, they then would depress what's called a tape switch on the handle of the weapon. As long as that switch is depressed, the weapon will fire. Once that weapon is released, the weapon deactivates until the finger is scanned again. The implication is that a criminal would not be able to use the weapon if it is stolen, nor would a child who might accidentally fire the weapon if it's found in the house.As long as a person is not one that has been allocated by the owner to be a user of the weapon, the gun will not fire.Read more at WMGT's website. http://bit.ly/12jAZSE

On a recent trip to London, I picked up a copy of the U.K. hardcover edition of the third installment of the late Swedish author Stieg Larsson's Millenium Trilogy, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, and have been lending it to my friends ever since. (It won't be published stateside until May.) The three books are addictive, globally popular (they have sold more than 20 million copies), and have spawned a Swedish film trilogy that is also scoring at the worldwide box office. The subtitled The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo arrives stateside via Music Box on March 19. (A trailer is on the jump.)
Naturally, Hollywood is keenly interested in an English-language remake. Complex negotiations have been under way since last summer. The rights are no longer bogged down by issues surrounding the contested estate of the late author, who died of a sudden heart attack in 2004 just before the publication of the first novel. Under frequent death threats for his investigative journalism, he tried to protect his common law wife by not marrying her. But he never left a will. Eva Gabrielsson, who has no rights under Swedish law, has been hanging on to his laptop and its contents, which could hold the seeds for more sequels. But she doesn't own those rights.
The existence of the Swedish film trilogy complicates matters, but closing the complicated deal is mainly about getting rights sorted. A Millenium Trilogy movie deal at Sony Pictures is expected to be announced shortly with producer Scott Rudin and writer Steve Zaillian. Rumors swirl of interest from the likes of Quentin Tarantino (denied by his agent) and George Clooney, who seems like perfect casting for muckraking journalist womanizer Mikael Blomkvist.
Who should play Blomkvist and his sidekick, bisexual tattooed hacker detective Lisbeth Salander, one of the great ass-kicking heroines of modern fiction?
This could be a huge global franchise. But for Rudin & Co. it will be a challenge to make commercial movies out of these sprawling, intelligent, well-plotted and reported books that dig into the intersection of journalism, business and politics. Ideally, they will set them in Sweden, with European actors speaking English. (Liam Neeson or Stellan Skarsgard come to mind for Blomkvist.) The danger is that even Hollywood's best and brightest could water this rich material down, turning it into another disappointing trans-Atlantic cultural misfire like Brothers or State of Play.
Salander is also a tough one to cast. Ellen Page, Kristen Stewart and Natalie Portman come to mind. But they could also cast a young European unknown capable of surprising audiences.
Swedish film production company Yellow Bird, which produced three Swedish films based on the Millennium Trilogy with funding from Nordisk Film, is in control of the film rights and is repped by UTA's Kassie Evashevski; attorney Linda Lichter is nailing down legal details.
dflas | June 18, 2010 2:44 AM
Never let Kristen Stewart get near that role. I would not go see the movie if I knew she was going to have the part. I think they need to go with someone unknown.
Kristen Stewart is too popular, and even though she has the look, I don't think she has the acting skills right now to play a character and make it feel like Lisbeth Salander.
Katherine Moennig or Ellen Page would be good choices. I could see Ellen because she's small and has fierce skills. And Katherine looks the part.
Gman | May 5, 2010 1:37 AM
I read and liked the first book in the series, and I have seen the first of the movie's as well. Honestly, I liked the movie, but there were bits of it that just felt wrong somehow.
Anyway, this chat is probably dead by now, but I would love to see Ellen Page in the role of Lisbeth.
Forget about Juno; go watch hard candy, or even the tracey fragments (if you can get past the fractured screen)...never have I seen an actor so capable of showing so much rage and pain, with nothing more than her eyes. She may be small, but she can play terrifying, and I dont doubt that if she had the role, she would own it.
Having seen most of the movies she has made since she hit 16, I can honestly say that no matter what the overall qaulity of the movies may have been (and to be honest, there is only one I disliked), she throws herself 110% into every role.
NoomFan | March 20, 2010 2:19 AM
The novel by stieg is awsome ...but i watched the movie the girl with dragon tattoo....very good job...what a thrill...and the lisbeth aka noomi rapace is realy brilliant.......chilling...
fandart | March 18, 2010 11:59 AM
I think Kristen Stewart. Her face is how hers is suppose to be. She is also going to do a great job in The Runaways. She can do it. Please don't let Natalie Portman do it though. My second choice would be Ellen Page.
crystal | March 18, 2010 11:54 AM
I think Kristen Stewart should play Lisbeth. I watched the movies and they have to have someone that can act mean and isolated like her. I think Kristen could do it because she looks mean and has already had black hair in a movie. Also Ellen Page would be good, because she can act really good. But definetly not Natalie Portman, because she looks to sweet.
tbp | March 16, 2010 3:19 AM
Katherine Moennig for Lisbeth. I imagined her as Lisbeth as I read the first two books. Blomqvist is a tough call. I think Clooney might be too good looking How about Robert Downey Jr? I think he'd be a great fit. He can play that obsessive loner well... definitely Giamatti for Martin Vanger....
Don Grimes | March 12, 2010 3:40 AM
I love these books. I've read the first two, so far. I hope Hollywood stays as close to the books as possible. I really like Liam Neeson and George Clooney is pretty good, but Stellan Skarsgard fits the image in my mind from the book so perfectly. He definitely gets my vote. If his name shows up as Blomkvisk, I'll be first in line at the box office.
A-K | February 9, 2010 2:03 AM
The Stath and Fox would be so hilarious! Kristen Stewart is so overrated. Here in the UK we don't assume that the biggest teenage Box Office pullers are the biggest talent. 1st choice Ellen Page but this could be Portman's big opportunity to live up to all the promise from Leon (The Professional). If Sony do this right there's a guaranteed Oscar nomination for the Salander role. Ron Howard should direct.
Brian | February 8, 2010 3:41 AM
Jason Statham and Megan Fox! 'Nuff said.
A-Kam | February 8, 2010 2:43 AM
Ellen Page for Salander! Salander's 4'9 frame and bony boyish looks (which could be mistaken for a 15 yr old boy) become a very important part of the plot in the amazing final book. Page has an adrogenous beauty similar to Salander's. She has proved she has depth and ability aside from comedies like Whip It and Juno in Hard Candy (2005). Natalie Portman would also do well but she's too classically beautiful to make a convincing Salander. I'm not a fan of him but George Clooney could pull off Blomqvist's character. I think an English language adaptation should be set in Canada.
Sara | January 31, 2010 12:46 AM
Please please please..anyone but Kristen Stewart!
karen | January 9, 2010 2:40 AM
I was thinking about Katherine Moennig. She is the right age and this is something she would do well in.
TCGWDTFAN | January 8, 2010 2:18 AM
It has to be Natalie Portman!! She has the depth to play Salander. Plus her looks are already foreign - assuming they are going to have it take place in Sweden. As for Blomkvist... How about Daniel Craig?
jen jen | December 20, 2009 5:21 AM
I agree with another poster, Clooney is just over exposed. I would just see George is he was doing it. Don't think it needs to be Russell either. I'll have to think on that one. Definitely Kristen Stewart though. Her face can tell any story. We have only seen the tip of the iceburg with that girl and she has courage and passion. I agree she is awfully young, but as the big dogs in that industry say, the girl is 19 going on 35. Her Indie films have shown us some major versatility and The CakeEaters showed us where she is willing to go. After watching the Swed trailer I can just see her kicking that out of the ballpark. The Runaways will definitely have the common man thinking- yeah she would be perfect!
ginger Liu | December 17, 2009 7:54 AM
When I think of a kick ass woman, a twenty-something doesn't come to mind. I'm a fan of Kristen Stewart but a kick ass woman is two things -physical strength and a strong mind. A kick ass woman to me is someone over 30 -she's lived, she doesn't suffer fools and she's had her heart broken -she's one tough cookie.
I hope it's a European actress.
Bill_the_Bear | December 17, 2009 4:04 AM
The first of the Swedish Millenium films has played in North America...in Québec, where it ran in theatres through this past summer. (In fact, the DVD came out late last month.)
Millenium 2 will be opening in Québec on Christmas Day; Millenium 3 is schedules to open in Québec on March 19, 2010.
Why so soon here? The books were published much earlier in French than in English (2006 & 2007), so they had time to become cult favourites here before anglophone North Americans had heard of them.
moviefan | December 16, 2009 9:53 AM
Anne, I don't know if you liked State of Play or not, but Crowe did a wonderful job portraying a journalist, a journalist who is decent at his core. Of course that may be a reason he might not even be interested in playing Blomqvist. Crowe has also been excellent at other characters like Jim Braddock and Jeff Wigand, both men 'decent at his core'.
I could see Clooney as a journalist and a womanizer, but I also see Blomqvist as somewhat edgy, and I just don't see George as edgy.
Of course we have no idea how this might be Americanized and I fear it could be sanitized within an inch of its life. We shall see. Fincher would be a very good choice if they go with an American director.
Anne Thompson | December 16, 2009 6:32 AM
John, I wasn't that thrilled by the first Dragon Tattoo movie. The characters thrill me more than the plot. I like the second book the best, because it's Salander's story. I do want to see that movie.
As for director, it should be a European. I feel so strongly about this. The books are so compelling because-- while there are certainly fantasy elements-- the world feels reported, observed, real. Everyone belongs there. Plop American movie stars into that milieu and it could feel fake.
On the other hand, David Fincher comes to mind...
As for Clooney vs. Crowe, i admire both these guys as actors. Crowe could play Blomkvist, but the guy is decent at his core (BTW I took out word "rakish" and replaced with "womanizer"), the way Clooney is. You can believe that Clooney loves journalism.
DavidC | December 16, 2009 5:10 AM
One of the cool things about the WSJ clip is finally hearing a Swedish person say her name, with the accent on the middle vowel: SalANder.
rgm | December 16, 2009 2:36 AM
Cote de Pablo who plays Ziva David in NCIS on TV should be considered for the Salander role.
Sean | December 16, 2009 1:40 AM
Definately NOT Stewart...unknown please.
moviefan | December 16, 2009 1:28 AM
I'm with mimi. State of Play may have not burned up the B.O. but it was definitely not a misfire, and got very good critical reviews, actually. Crowe was excellent, as were Mirren and Bateman. Even Affleck did a good job. I also liked the U.S. version of Brothers, and I did see the Danish one.
I know Anne just loves her Clooney and not so much Crowe but I, for one, am sick of seeing George, he's headed for over-exposure IMO. I definitely do not see him as Blomqvist. I didn't see Blomqvist as 'rakish' when I was reading the books. I didn't picture Crowe either, but he could do the part most excellently, I think.
mimi | December 16, 2009 1:04 AM
Excuse me? State of Play was not a misfire... it was a well received adaptation, a critical success at least. Russell Crowe was so good, he's the only actor I can imagine as Mikael Blomkvist. Clooney is too slick and smug.

Tarantino, yes. Or Soderberg.
Kenneth Branagh.
Of all the Amercian options probably Stewart.
Though I'm sure there's some boney Dutch or German girl who would be the ideal Salader, if Rudin and co. would make the ffort to do a search.

why don't they get niels arden oplev to direct? He did the swedish trilogy and now lives in the US. Maye he's too smart...
mitkid | December 15, 2009 10:41 AM
I say go for the unknown, although it's such a great role (Lisbeth Salender) I'm sure there will be huge interest.

Got to be Kristen Stewart, wait until you see what she is like in The Runaways then you will see this is her role.

With Wilson Chandler emerging emerging as one of the best small forwards in the Eastern Conference, should the Nuggets reconsider their current position that the Knicks have nothing to offer? Chandler is proving to be a terrific all-around small forward, with great range and athletic ability, and happens to play the same position as Melo. To me, he is going to be the type of small forward the Nuggets will pursue in free agency if Melo leaves, so why not trade for him? A package of Chandler, Landry Fields and Curry's expiring contract, gives the Nuggets their small forward of the future, depth in the backcourt (Fields can really play), and cap space this summer. If the Knicks can throw-in a first round pick (that they will acquire for Randolph), don't the Nuggets have to give this deal some serious consideration?
I am still in the "play the season out with Melo" camp, but if a trade is forced by Melo early February, I like the idea of adding Chandler to the young mix of Ty, AAA, JR, and Nene. Galinari reminds me too much of Skita to go after him. What do you think?

Columns: 5 Reasons Why You Should Buy "Last Train To Paris": "This Is Something New For Puff"
Monday, Dec 13, 2010 8:50PM
[With tomorrow's release of Last Train to Paris, the ladies of Diddy's Dirty Money, Dawn and Kaleena, give you the Top 5 reasons to support their first effort.]
1. New Flava In Ya Ear
The biggest reason you should go out and buy this album is because it's a new movement that people are ready for. Music is changing and Dirty Money is the new movement that everybody wants to get on. That's the biggest thing. This is a new sound, a new flavor and it's a new "black". Everybody wants to be cool, so you need this album. This is what the cool kids are doing. All the cool kids are gonna have the album so you need to follow the leader. -Dawn
2. The Gang's All Here
The next biggest reason is because it's fresh and dope and has banging features on there. I know a lot of people love the artists that are on the album. Picking up this album will be a good way for you to hear your favorite artists doing something different with somebody that's really dope. That's another reason why you should go and get the album, which is to see how different the features are done and listen to how much out of their element they are. We're not gonna tell you what our favorite collaboration is but you will be able to see once you pick up the album, because it has one of our biggest icons on there. When people go out and buy the album, they'll see this feature is a really big deal to us and I think nobody has had this kind of collaboration. So expect to hear Dirty Money doing the biggest and best stuff on here with these features. -Kaleena
3. Take That, Take That, Take That
I think the third biggest reason is that this is something new for Puff. He's going down in history whether we like it and love it or don't like it and don't love it. He's going down in history and to just be a part of that, to see two girls that had a dream and to see it come true in the arms of P. Diddy, Puff and Diddy. It's crazy. That's a reason within itself to go and get the album, to see what's going on. -Kaleena
4. Brown Girls Rock
The fourth biggest reason for us is because this is the first time you've seen two brown sisters together in a long time. I'm talking about since Changing Faces. There hasn't been a group of brown girls rocking with another powerful brown man and having a positive message in a long time. And this is no disrespect to the industry, but I think Diddy is categorized as just one thing. I believe we're breaking the mold with the color of our skin, not that that's an issue but just the fact that we're showing women that it's possible to have two brown skin women together and making it to the top together, loving and embracing it. I think that's a big deal for us. We're making chocolatey skin look good and I think it's [young women will embrace this]. Growing up, that color was a problem for people, and now people are starting to warm up to the idea that you don't have to be a certain skin type whether you're white, black, green or whatever in order to make great music. I think we're setting a tone for that. -Dawn
5. You'll Love Our Dream
The last reason you should go out and buy this album is because this was our dream to do this. We have a love story that we're telling that the whole world can relate to. It's a relatable album. When you put it on, you feel like, "Oh my God, I felt like this before and I feel like this now." It's one of those messages that'll help you get through something. It'll help you understand that there's light at the end of the tunnel. And whatever road you choose to take, it's okay. We thank God to be here. Please go out and support the album. -Kaleena
You Decide. Will you purchase Last Train to Paris?

To my surprise, he cuffed my wrists widely apart to rings in the floor. He unlocked my hobble and spread my ankles and they too were cuffed to rings in the floor. He placed a metal pole under my neck and raised the pole until it was level with my neck. Then he attached the front ring of

It could have been twenty minutes, it could have been thirty or more, I don't know, but it sure seemed long to me.

True, the nipple rings hadn't required a new piercing, but they did required enlarging the old ones and if you think that doesn't hurt, try it sometime.

It hurts.I was so tired after all that had happened to me that I just wanted to be left alone to sleep. Nothing more, just rest and sleep. My betters had other plans for me. Mr. Upton and Mr. Martin returned together. They rolled out some sort of apparatus from the back of the room. I felt a dildo penetrate and then fill my ass. A wide, long dildo, wider and longer than the plug it replaced. I heard them speaking but could not catch what they were saying. I could feel the dildo being manipulated. Then suddenly, I felt the dildo ram further into

Of course, being used was a turn-on for me no matter how much my brain resented it, my cock didn't. They stood there and laughed at me.Master Howard finally returned. I thought he would surely stop this game but I was dead wrong.

took a strap from the wall and began strapping my ass cheek and then my chest. I don't mean tapping, I mean laying it on. "You wanted to be treated the way we treat slaves, boy, well. this is one way we treat new boys," crack, crack. My screams were buried in the tube gag. "Ready for your

No more strapping either. "Master," I said horsely, "thank you for using this slave for your pleasure, Master." preteen lolita boy girl And, I meant it. Harsh yes, but thrilling and

was detached from the machine but left in my ass. As stiff and sore as I was, I knew
site imagesporndirnet lolita nude
I must assume the slave present position and I did, coated in sweat, dripping. Mr. Howard caressed my face, stroking my cheeks and forehead, saying what a good and strong slave I was. Hurting as I did, in all honesty, I sort of beamed. He was pleased, I'd pleased him and not embarrassed him in front of the others."We better put him in a

holding cage. If we put him back with the coffle slaves, they'll keep him up half the night licking their dicks and balls; fortunately, their dicks are locked up so they couldn't fuck him. OK 415, into a cage you go. Just think what you have to look lolitas preteens models desnudas forward to tomorrow. A full day of play in the fields lolita undressing bbs links with your coffle. What fun.""Master, thank you, Master. This slave will do whatever it's ordered to do Master." I knew I shouldn't speak but I thought something so submissive would
lolita no nude childs
be acceptable and it was. Mr. Martin took my leash and led me into another section of the barn that was lined on both sides with dog type cages. He found an empty one and had me back into it. It was too short to stretch out when lying down and too low to be able to kneel with my head fully erect, but it had a pad and a water bowl. I was content. I curled up, naked, uncovered, and was soon asleep dreaming about a slave named 415 who was being sold at auction and purchased by a young Master who immediately taught it how strict he was. I would have woken up hard, but chastity lock down prevented that. My nipples, ears and nose were really sore and so was my
perteen lolita kids girls
ass. The dildo was there the whole night.When I awoke, it took me a few seconds to realize where (and what) I was. The cage was OK but pretty small. I sure knew I was now a slave. I had the rings and the marks to prove it. Was
free nudists lolita pics
I a happy camper, fulfilling my fantasy? Well, I guess looked at in the big picture, I was. But looking at the details, I realized being a slave was a lot harder, more humiliating and requiring much greater submission and work than I had imagined. I should have known this. Afterall, I had already spent time in training at Mr. Howard's, but this extended and more abusive use was different than last time, more real, more satisfying therefore, but a lot harder and more painful.A bowl of slave chow was shoved into my cage and I ate it eagerly. I needed food, energy and I didn't much care what it was. I was soon led out of the cage to join my coffle mates in the shower and shit room. I knew they were dying to know what happened last night but we were not allowed to speak so I couldn't tell them but if I could, I would have. Telling it, I thought, would make it even more exciting.We were chained up, trotted out to the fields, rechained for work on the ditch and began a very long day of sweaty hard work and boredom. This was the reality of slavery, I thought, not some chamber of sexual abuse and pleasure but just unending work, sexual frustration and nothing interesting happening or to think about. In fact, I was too tired to think.
17 yo nude lolita
I just did the work
teenie lolitas nude pics
mechanically and realized preteen russian hardcore lolita that was

what all the slaves were doing. Was this a life I wanted? I

don't think so. Maybe being a house slave would suit me better. Of course, once lolitas pay sites portal owned, I'd have no choice what work I was set to doing, just as I had no choice now.It was Saturday evening. Once we were in our cell, had dined so to speak, and done our business, a slave trustee came to each of the cells and released the locks holding our dicks down under our
small lolita 12 years
balls (or in chastity pouches in some cases). By then, I'd told my story of the previous nights adventure and I felt somewhat a part of the group of guys. But they made clear that as the new slave, I had to be initiated and that meant
ls lolitas free pictures
taking cum from each of them up my ass or down my throat, each of them, not that I would have the choice. It didn't seem intended to be cruel, it was just their one chance each week, if the entire coffle had worked and behaved well, to have fun and get off. Had
little nude lolitas links
they not worked hard all week and behaved, they would have stayed with locked cocks and had to wait another week for another chance.I decided that the only thing I could do was lie back and enjoy it. My cock also was free and the first dick up my ass gave me a wild boner. God it felt good to be hard. I now realized what a privilege it was to be allowed a hard-on. And that's what it was, a privilege not a right or an entitlement or even an expectation. Each Overseer decided the fate of his coffles each Saturday evening. God it felt great to be hard again. Thank you, Master, thank you, Master, thank you,

Master.I was fucked three times and blew off two guys. Only after they'd all cum would they allow me to get off. They made it fun. One slave took each of my limbs and stretched me out into a spread-eagle. The fifth slave fucked me, at my request I have to admit, and very, very slowly stroked my dick, delaying my orgasm as long as he (and I) could. But at last the build up in my balls was too overpowering and with a loud and embarrassing groan (several) I shot way into the air with cum spattered on my face and chest, abdomen and pubes and some
lolita girls nude free
on a slave holding my left arm. I know you can guess what was next; they scooped up all the cum and force fed me, not that it required much force. I was secretly glad to be made to eat my own cum. I liked the taste and I liked the humiliation.Then we all rested for a while and, as you can imagine, each of us came a second time, this time in whatever way the slave chose, using whomevers mouth or ass he wished.

Not surprisingly, I guess, of the five of the others, I got fucked twice and gave two blow jobs. The fifth guy wanted to fuck one of

Ever since the Fitbloggin Avocado contest, I've been completely hooked on avocados. I just can't get enough of them.
And… next week, as part of my prize pack for winning 2nd place in the recipe contest, the commission is sending me an ENTIRE BOX of California Avocados. Can you imagine??? I'm so excited!
I've been eating a lot of carrots lately as snacks, and I wanted a different kind of dip to use with them. I always like to put something on them… whether it's Laughing Cow Cheese (a fave!) or one of my homemade healthy dips. Then, I found this idea…
Avocado Salsa

|Pirates | Pedro Alvarez reinstated, Ernesto Frieri cut
Fri, 08 Aug 2014 14:45:11 -0700
The Pittsburgh Pirates reinstated 3B Pedro Alvarez from the bereavement list Friday, Aug. 8, and designated RP Ernesto Frieri for assignment in a corresponding move.
Fantasy Tip: Alvarez is back, but it doesn't mean he'll all of a sudden return to consistent playing time. Josh Harrison's rise has led to Alvarez being demoted to a bench role. It's becoming harder and harder to keep him on your roster in mixed leagues.

|Pirates | Ernesto Frieri allows another ninth-inning homer
Wed, 09 Jul 2014 09:39:05 -0700
Pittsburgh Pirates RP Ernesto Frieri allowed a walkoff ninth inning home run in a loss to the St. Louis Cardinals Tuesday, July 8. He has allowed eight ninth-inning home runs this year and is tied with Arizona Diamondbacks RP Addison Reed for the most of any pitcher in the majors this year.
Fantasy Tip: Frieri didn't endear himself to his new club with the gaffe Tuesday night. He clearly has the back seat to Mark Melancon for closer duties in Pittsburgh.

|Pirates | Ernesto Frieri acquired
Fri, 27 Jun 2014 15:22:28 -0700
The Pittsburgh Pirates acquired RP Ernesto Frieri from the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in exchange for RP Jason Grilli.
Fantasy Tip: Frieri will likely slide in as Mark Melancon's setup man for now. However, he could prove to be a factor at some point this season. He should be picked up in NL-only leagues. If you're desperate for saves in mixed leagues, pick him up if you have space. However, Melancon has been relatively effective.

Wed, 25 Jun 2014 05:24:58 -0700
Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim manager Mike Scioscia said RP Joe Smith will be the team's closer until RP Ernesto Frieri returns to form.
Fantasy Tip: Smith is worth grabbing in mixed leagues if you need saves and he's available.

|Angels | Will not use one set closer
Thu, 19 Jun 2014 16:35:22 -0700
Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim manager Mike Scioscia said the team will not use one pitcher in the closer role and that the matchup will determine the closer each game, which seems to indicate the team is moving away from RP Ernesto Frieri. RP Joe Smith was used in the ninth inning Thursday, June 19, and RP Cam Bedrosian was given the chance to save the game but was not able.
Fantasy Tip: It appears Frieri will not be closing games for the time being. Owners looking for more saves should consider picking up Smith, because he appears to be next in line. Owners in deeper leagues and AL-only leagues could take a flier on Bedrosian in case he gets some save chances.

|Angels | Ernesto Frieri struggling
Thu, 19 Jun 2014 13:26:17 -0700
Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim RP Ernesto Frieri wasn't used to start the inning in a save situation against the Cleveland Indians Thursday, June 19, because manager Mike Scioscia said Frieri "has been struggling." Scioscia wanted to go with a different look, and he felt RP Cam Bedrosian could get the job done.
Fantasy Tip: Of course, Bedrosian loaded the bases and Frieri entered the contest to allow a game-winning grand slam. If you own Frieri or are just searching for more saves, Joe Smith would be a good pickup right about now.

Thu, 15 May 2014 06:36:22 -0700
Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim RP Joe Smith pitched a scoreless ninth for his fifth save Wednesday, May 14. RP Ernesto Frieri set up for him in the eighth inning.
Fantasy Tip: Now they're just playing mind games with fantasy owners. Smith set up for Frieri the previous day. Both players are worth owning right now, but our bets are still on Frieri in the long haul.

Wed, 14 May 2014 05:21:14 -0700
Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim RP Ernesto Frieri closed out the ninth inning for his fifth save Tuesday, May 13.
Fantasy Tip: The telling sign that Frieri is back in the driver's seat is that Joe Smith pitched a perfect eighth inning. Frieri's last two appearances have resulted in saves. He looks to have a leg up in the closer committee once again.

Sure, you can build an artificial bat cave, and they will come. But how do you make it perfect? Hint: It's more than digging a hole in the ground.
Written by Matt Miller | August 10th, 2009(0)
500,000 sandhill cranes roosting along the Platte River. One million wildebeests migrating across the Serengeti plains. Ten million bats emerging from a Texas cave. Literally uncountable masses of mayflies hatching along a beautiful spring creek. Perhaps nothing captures a naturalist's imagination quite like the world's great herds, flocks and swarms.

This has been a week of goodbyes. I said goodbye to my yoga teacher, the person who helped me find my core again—in more ways than one—after having a baby almost five (!) years ago. Lucien said goodbye to his Montessori preschool teachers, classmates and classroom. I said so long to my "new" mom friends. We had a goodbye play date for all his neighborhood friends and a tear-filled farewell with Lucien's babysitter Rebecca, who has become a close and much loved family friend.
There are, of course, many different paths in life. I have found myself on one that includes moving, a lot. My husband's job and mine (professor; part time writer/part time stay at home mom) allows us the flexibility of moving around, and occasionally demands it. The truth is I love and crave the adventure and sense of possibility that comes with a new address, a new neighborhood, a new set of routines. Neil has a research sabbatical coming up and we will be spending the next year or so in New York.
At the same time I realize that children, my child, craves stability and connectedness. Changing locations is hard for him. He is excited, yes, but also nervous.
There are many things we'll miss about Vancouver, Canada, during our time away. The community centers. The fresher than fresh air. The summers. The local snowy mountains. The farmers' markets.
There's much to look forward to, too. Kindergarten. Museums. Subways! Restaurants and weekend flea markets. Street life. Not to mention yoga classes galore for me, for Neil (when I can convince him to go), and even for Lucien.
Years ago when I was in my twenties and living in New York, I had the fantasy of running away to the country, to a place where I could truly delve into the yogic lifestyle. Buy some land, live off the grid, study and practice and grow my own food.
One weekend I attended a class taught by the founders of Jivamukti Yoga, Shannon Gannon and David Life.
The city, they said, makes an ideal laboratory for practicing yoga. Think about it: If you can remain centered and good and kind in the middle of Manhattan, surely you can do so almost anywhere.
I've thought of this idea often, when living in the country (not off the grid, by any means, but away from the suburban life of my childhood and the urban life I'd led in New York); when living in big cities like LA, smaller ones like Cambridge, Massachusetts, and then here in Vancouver. What was the most yogic sort of place to live?
After living everywhere from Wisconsin to New York, from Los Angeles to Boston, from the Berkshires to Beersheva, Israel, I'm here to report: You can be yogic in the city, or live unconsciously in the country, and vice versa. You can certainly study the Yoga Sutra in Manhattan and maybe you can even garden in Brooklyn.
I can't wait to get to there, to explore kid's yoga classes, family yoga retreats a drive away, and this new vegetarian restaurant I keep hearing about called Dirt Candy. I am beyond excited to study with the incredible yoga teachers New York City has to offer.
I promise to share this next adventure with you all as we spend a year in the big city.
Next stop, Brooklyn.

By SAM HOUSEHOLDER
GOSHEN — Nearly 100 students from area schools descended on downtown Goshen Wednesday as part of a leadership program, to spread the word about leadership to anyone who would listen.
The Indianapolis-based group C.L.A.S.S. (Connecting Learning Assures Successful Students), hosted a leadership summit at the Goshen Middle School Wednesday and according to C.L.A.S.S. consultant and Parkside Elementary School counselor Jan Holsopple, 96 students from the area participated.
The objective is to teach students to be leaders and encourage them to take on those roles.
"They can be leaders, they can speak up in their communities," Holsopple said. "No matter what their age is. Character is what can drive their lives and how they influence others."
The students worked for eight hours Wednesday, starting by breaking up into small groups and getting an assigned "lifeline" or character trait that a good leader should have.
The students then researched their words, such as integrity, cooperation and creativity, among others.
Students then boarded buses and met with Goshen city councilman Jeremy Stutsman and Goshen police chief Wade Branson on the Elkhart County courthouse lawn.
Stutsman and Branson talked to the children about leadership, doing the right thing and being respectful.
Students then went downtown to businesses and spread their word to patrons at places such as Electric Brew, Mattern's, Southside Soda Shop and other businesses.
"We're going to teach people about cooperation so we can stop all the wars and the fighting, so everybody can just cooperate with each other," said Kathryn Detweiler, 10, a student at Model Elementary.
Some of the students were nervous at first, but got used to being taken out of their comfort zone.
"The most difficult thing was being really nervous about coming and talking to people you don't know," said Brooke Grewe, 11, who will be attending Goshen Middle School this fall.
The students even inspired the teachers, counselors and volunteers who were there to help the children.
"They inspire me more than I think I inspire them, just to see them going out and talking to strangers and putting themselves out there, that takes a lot for a 10 or 11-year-old to do," said volunteer Shanda Armbruster.
Following their trip downtown the students went back to the middle school where they reflected on what they learned and put on a celebration event in the evening for parents and the community to see what they learned.

We Always Fight About Money
The Therapist Says
Demosthenous: I'm not surprised that Terry and Charlie fell in love. We're often attracted to someone who is our opposite in order to make up for what we feel we lack now, or never had, in childhood. Tight, controlled Terry adored Charlie's lighthearted optimism and his ability to roll with life's punches. Fearful of abandonment and further rejections, she sensed that Charlie would love her the way no one else ever had.
Charlie, on the other hand, was drawn to Terry's beauty, warmth, and solidity. He knew she would provide the structure for his life that he seemed unable to provide for himself. But financial issues became the battlefield upon which their duels were fought.
My goal is to help Charlie hold onto his dreams until he's in a position to fulfill them. At the same time, I want Terry to find the security she needs to live day by day.
Terry sees everything through the prism of her unhappy childhood, and she tends to magnify a problem until it's out of proportion to reality. While not having money to pay the bills is a real concern that Charlie has to address, Terry's runaway anxieties make a difficult situation even harder. She needs to think about why she might be feeling such a desperate need to control their finances. Simply airing some of the reasons for her money worries will help Terry better understand why she's so panicky, as well as why she's so critical of Charlie. "You need to find a way to help Charlie reach your goal of security without punching a hole in his dreams," I told Terry. As she came to understand better what money represented in her life, and as we talked about how much she did want to preserve her marriage, she was more willing to make changes in herself.
Though Charlie is adamant about his perfect childhood, I suspect that he never really received the kind of support a child needs to develop confidence or the encouragement to persevere. Certainly, his parents rote reaction to the bully had an impact on his confidence and sense of safety, as did their failure to nourish his dream of playing baseball. Also, their inability to talk to Charlie about their dissatisfaction with his old girlfriend sent the message that his needs were unimportant and that communication had little value. Charlie adopted the same attitude with Terry whenever difficult topics needed to be aired. As a result, he didn't know how to listen, and he lacked the skills to express his feelings and needs.
Counseling, which lasted about a year, focused first on helping Terry and Charlie enjoy each other's company and learn to respect the other's opinions and ideas, even if they didn't agree. Although they hardly spent any time alone together, tension between them ran so high that even going out for a hamburger gave them too much time to argue. Instead, I suggested they join the inexpensive gym or a bowling league, so they could get some exercise and have fun together. Couples underestimate the value of simply spending time and meshing the rhythms of their days. This helped Terry and Charlie laugh more and fight less. One weekend, Terry bought tickets for the circus and the whole family went.
At this point, we could start improving their communication skills. Terry couldn't understand why Charlie never took her advice. "He feels besieged," I pointed out. "No matter how sound your ideas, if you nag or belittle him, he feels like a naughty boy and he'll tune you out." As she started to recognize her part in their drama, Terry worked hard to recognize the tone in her voice as well as her tendency to immediately assume that something her husband suggested or planned couldn't possibly work. "At least talk about it," I urged. "Open it up for discussion." Once she did, Charlie dropped his guard and became more interested in making solid changes in his attitudes and actions.
Of course, Charlie needed to hear, and really understand, the points Terry was making. I suggested they attend a free seminar on money management offered at a local bank. They had avoided hammering out a spending plan because they assumed it would take them a long time. In fact, the seminar leader told them that it should take no more than a weekend of thinking and analyzing their checkbook and six months worth of bank card statements, followed by a few minutes every day and an hour or two once a month to evaluate how they were doing. Even though Terry is still in charge of paying the bills each month, to build trust it's essential for Charlie to sit there and be involved so he knows what's happening with the family finances.
To jumpstart their money discussions, I had them write down a list of their dreams. Most people never take the time to clarify what they really want from their money. I asked them to write down what they would like to have or do in the next year, in five years, and in 10 years. Charlie had fun dreaming about owning a small company and a sailboat and having time to travel but Terry stuck with the practical. She wanted medical insurance, enough money in savings for emergencies, and a full-time job for her husband that offered a sound pension plan. She did include one "frivolous" dream: "I'd like to take a vacation to the Caribbean with my husband." I pointed out that just because priorities and dreams don't mesh doesn't mean they're mutually exclusive. You may not have the money to do everything at the same time, but if you have the right attitude and know how to talk about your goals, you can explore what you need to do to attain them. "If you adopt a saving and spending plan that feels comfortable, and promise to compromise to help each other meet goals, you can accomplish your dreams," I assured them.
We also helped Charlie figure out his career plans. He decided to look for a contracting job with a construction firm. "I know I'm good for five or 10 years, until we get our footing. It will be worth it to see my kids and Terry more," he said. That doesn't mean he's forsaking the idea of starting his own business one day. Next year, when her youngest is in nursery school, Terry plans to work part-time, which will further ease their money worries. So far, they haven't set aside any money for college, but since their children are still small, they plan to wait a few more years until they have a better handle on their expenses.
At one point, their landlord asked if they'd like to buy the house they lived in and Charlie jumped at the chance. For the first time, they had to get a mortgage and budget for the payments. "I think that's motivated Charlie to complete all those half-finished projects," Terry noted. "He's doing most of the work himself, and his friends from the firm are pitching in with the rest at cost."
Terry came to our last session with two airplane tickets. "My in-laws said they'd watch the kids and we found these low fares, so we're going to Puerto Rico," she announced joyfully. I have confidence that these two are on the right track to working out any future problems together, so neither feels shortchanged.

Another Title Fight for Bernard Hopkins, this time it's Hopkins vs. Cloud for Cloud's IBF Light-Heavyweight Title. Most of us remember Cloud as getting the shit beaten out of him by Gabriel Campillo on a Don King show, only for King's fighter to get a terrible decision win. Cloud still owes Campillo a rematch, but that's beside the point.
I am not impressed with Cloud, he has power, but can be hit, and Bernard will rough him up and make him work, but King's fighter will get the close rounds, and maybe some rounds that aren't close anyway in a lot of mauling grabbing, ugly shit from Hopkins, who has resorted to dirty fighting and fouling more and more to extend his legacy. Bernard will probably lose around 115-113, 117-110 and 116-112 unanimously, call everybody racist, and storm of like a spoiled child to his dressing room like a kid who just got told he can't have the last piece of cake before supper. This fight will be boring and ugly, at least on paper.
Also,, bashing King's fighters historically does not give a fighter justice on the scorecards. However, I have a feeling that the decision will be fair. Hopkins just not doing enough, and the need by fighting ugly in spots to make it competitive.
Or, does Executioner pull a rabbit out of his ass one last time and give us a Pascal II type performance? The fight on which Bernard should have retired and could have gone out highly respected and praised. When Bernard wins, he can be good guy.
Boring fight? Average to OK fight? Or something more? Can Bernard create excitment again?

I honestly see this as a 40/40/20 bout. 40% in Hopkins' favor, 40% in Cloud's favor, and a 20% chance of some fuckery taking place.
At this stage of Bernard's career, his reflexes have slowed down a bit. If you remember the first Pascal fight, that will probably be the same Hopkins that we see this weekend. He was even stunned in the rematch a couple of times, but never went down.
If Cloud is able to catch him and hurt him, then he'll be able to finish him. At the same time, Cloud isn't that fast, and straight punches aren't his style...maybe because of the muscles. If he catches Hopkins coming in, with an overhand punch, then we'll see the old man go down.
Bernard on the other hand, is a bully himself. Both guys are bullies on their own respective terms. I don't see Cloud doing shit on the inside, and that's where we'll Hopkins rough him up. Their WILL BE blood.
Cloud isn't able to maintain a disciplined gameplan (of a boxer) for 12 whole rounds, so if he doesn't Hopkins within 6 rounds, then his mind and body will part ways as we see Hopkins control the fight down the stretch. Anyhow, Cloud by close decision. All aspects of this fight will resemble Hopkins/Pascal I.

Agreed - a single incident or encounter could have done it. In fact, given the general Romulan ideology (which has sometimes favoured self-sacrifice if no victory is possible - BoT and Unification) then even one major defeat could have been enough to humiliate the Romulans so badly they never forgot it.
Maybe Earth gave them their first real defeat even.

It depends on the importance ascribed to cloaking technology by the Federation and/or it's relative feasability at the time.
Yes, it's a strategic advantage and yes it's useful in combat but both of those run counter to the general (at least the 23rd anyway) approach Starfleet and Earth took to such matters at the time.
Although GR once made the joke that it was because the Federation 'doesn't sneak around' it was probably a joke with a grain of truth in it. Also, numeorus ways to circumvent cloaking technology have been developed, rendering it's overall effectiveness rather less absolute than it is in theory.
The upshot being of course - we just don't know!
