The U.K's got some televised boxing action on Friday. Germany, South Africa, Ghana and Finland also have noteworthy offerings, but the highest profile stuff's in America. Friday begins in England with John Donnelly vs. Paul Butler and Ovil McKenzie vs. Enzo Maccarinelli on BoxNation. Paul Smith vs. Tommy Tolan and Liam Smith vs. Gary McMillan are also on the bill. Showtime's 'ShoBox – the New Generation' series brings us the 'Night of the Olympians,' which includes Gary Russell Jr. vs. Roberto Castaneda and Errol Spence Jr. vs. Jonathan Garcia. Other matches on the bill are Marcus Browne vs. Codale Ford, Dominic Breazeale vs. Curtis Tate and Rau'shee Warren vs. Luis Rivera.
Saturday starts off in Germany with the last heavyweight protégé of the recently departed Emmanuel Steward, Wladimir Klitschko, as he faces Mariusz Wach on Epix and SuperSport. Epix will also show the heavyweight tussle from Finland with Robert Helenius vs. Sherman Williams. SuperSport viewers will have their plates full as the channel broadcasts not only the German boxing but also South Africa's 'Golden Gloves Tournament' (obviously not the same as the 'Golden Gloves of America'). The highlights on that bill are the final with Thabiso Mchunu vs. Danie Venter. The non-tournament match of Tommy Oosthuizen vs. Fulgencio Zuniga will also be shown. Later on, BoxNation and Showtime are back at it with Nathan Cleverly vs. Shawn Hawk, Abner Mares vs. Anselmo Moreno and Leo Santa Cruz vs. Victor Zaleta. I'm not sure if they'll show Alfredo Angulo vs. Raul Casarez, which is also on the same bill. Refusing to be outdone, HBO's 'Boxing After Dark' impresses with Erislandy Lara vs. Vanes Martirosyan. The undercard is Miguel Angel Garcia vs. Jonathan Victor Barros. The small nation that produces big boxing talent, Ghana, wraps things up on Sunday with Accra born boxing specialists Emmanuel Tagoe vs. George Tashie. Also on the 'Clash of Kings' bill, which is promoted by footballing star Asamoah Gyan's 'Babyjet Promotions,' are Raymond Commey vs. Emmanuel Quartey and other bouts. Hopefully Ghana Broadcasting Corporation's GTV unit will be streaming this.
Read on for the full 'Weekend in Boxing.'
As always, this is some of what's being televised and what I'll try my best to watch.
BoxNation 20:00 GMT / 3:00 p.m. ET
John 'Dangerous' Donnelly (13-2-0) vs. Paul 'the Baby Faced Assassin' Butler (8-0-0). Super flyweights, 12 rounds.
- Paul Butler and John Donnelly are both local boxers in this showdown from Liverpool. BoxNation describes Paul Butler and John Donnelly as England's top two ranked super flyweights.
Ovil 'the Upsetter' McKenzie (20-11-0) vs. Enzo Maccarinelli (35-5-0). Light heavyweights, 12 rounds.
-Ovil McKenzie originally hails from an island that has produced many great boxers, Jamaica. While McKenzie might not be a world beater, I'm not sure if Enzo Maccarinelli has enough left to win. To me, Maccarinelli's a fringe guy now and I didn't even know that he was banned for a doping offence.
Liam 'Beefy' Smith (11-0-1) vs. Gary McMillan (16-3-1). Light middleweights, 12 rounds.
- Liam Smith is the undefeated boxer, but Gary McMillan has arguably faced the better opposition. As we've found it, the tests that a boxer has faced in the past certainly matter. Smith vs. McMillan might be interesting.
Paul 'Smigga' Smith (31-3-0) vs. Tommy 'the Tiger' Tolan (4-12-1). Super middleweights, 6 rounds.
-Paul Smith is looking to shake off the ring rust against what seems to be a safe opponent in Tommy Tolan.
Showtime's 'ShoBox: The New Generation' – 'Night of the Olympians– 10:00 p.m. ET/ 03:00 GMT
Mr. Gary Russell Jr. (20-0-0) vs. Roberto 'Azabache' Castaneda (20-2-1). Featherweights, 10 rounds.
- The front page has an in depth piece on this, including comments from Gary Russell Jr. himself, so no need for me to elaborate extensively. Russell continues to increase the level of opposition as he faces Roberto Casteneda. Some will complain that Russell isn't fighting the elite names, but whatever. I'm perfectly fine with this match up for a boxer of his age and stage in career. I expect that if Russell wins tonight, as most expect him to, we'll see a more high profile match up sooner rather than later.
Errol Spence Jr. (0-0-0) vs. Jonathan Garcia (3-3-0). Light middleweights, 4 rounds.
- Errol Spence makes his debut against Jonathan Garcia. Spence is the favourite but it's interesting to note that Garcia turned pro at the age of 18. Does that give him an advantage in experience?
Marcus Browne (0-0-0) vs. Codale Ford (2-0-0). Light heavyweights, 4 rounds.
- Marcus Browne's debut is against the 11 years his elder, Codale Ford. Even though Browne's younger, the expectation is that the Olympian is much more skilled.
Dominic Breazeale (0-0-0) vs. Curtis Tate (4-3-0). Heavyweights, 4 rounds.
-Dominic Breazeale's debut is against Curtis Tate. Tate broke a three fight losing streak by winning his last bout. Confidence builder for his clash with Breazeale?
Rau'shee Warren (0-0-0) vs. Luis Rivera (1-2-0). Bantamweights, 4 rounds.
-Rau'shee Warren is making his pro debut, but having been to three Olympic games means that he isn't completely wet behind the ears. Luis Rivera isn't expected to win but he's definitely going to try to triumph.
Thabiso Mchunu (11-1-0) vs. Danie Venter (15-5-0). Cruiserweights, 12 rounds.
Tommy Oosthuizen (20-0-1) vs. Fulgencio Zuniga (25-5-1). Super middleweights, 12 rounds.
EPIX, ESPN UK & SuperSport (also available on a variety of European channels) – 4:30 ET / 21:30 GMT & 23:30 SA time
Wladimir 'Dr. Steelhammer' Klitschko (58-3-0) vs. Mariusz Wach (27-0-0). Heavyweights, 12 rounds.
- Wladimir Klitschko is dedicating his match with Mariusz Walch to the late great Emmanuel Steward. A great gesture and for that I certainly wish Klitschko the best, even though he probably doesn't need it.
Robert 'the Nordic Nightmare' Helenius (17-0-0) vs. Sherman 'Tank' Williams (35-11-2). Heavyweights, 12 rounds.
- Robert Helenius is considered a legitimate contender by some. I'm not one of them. Nonetheless, Sherman Williams doesn't exactly conjure images of danger for Helenius. It's the heavyweights, so one punch could be all it takes for Williams to upset the applecart. Doubtful, but…
BoxNation & Showtime – 01:00 GMT/8:00 p.m. ET (for BoxNation) & 10:00 p.m ET (for Showtime)
Nathan Cleverly (24-0-0) vs. Shawn 'the Sioux Warrior' Hawk (23-2-1). Light heavyweights, 12 rounds.
- Nathan Cleverly's expected to comfortably beat Shawn Hawk. A loss by Cleverly isn't a career killer, but it would definitely be a setback. A win by Hawk is obviously a massive positive.
Abner Mares (24- 0-1) vs. Anselmo Moreno (33-1-1). Super bantamweights, 12 rounds.
-Abner Mares vs. Anselmo Moreno has already been covered extensively in this blog and on the front page. Obviously a highlight of the weekend.
Leo 'Termoto' Santa Cruz (21-0-1) vs. Victor 'Nene' Zaleta (20-2-1). Bantamweights, 12 rounds.
- Leo Santa Cruz triumphed in his last bout over Eric Morel, but I certainly think he looked beatable. Is Victor Zaleta the boxer to capitalise on Santa Cruz' weaknesses? Debatable, but we'll find out shortly.
Alfredo 'Perro' Angulo (20-2-0) vs. Raul 'el Tigre' Casarez (19-2-1). Light middleweights, 12 rounds.
-Alfredo Angulo's known as mostly a brawler, which is no way to rise to the top (without the benefit of dodgy matchmaking). To rectify that, he's joined forces with seminal trainer Virgil Hunter. Raul Casarez is a good opponent to test his new approach on.
HBO's 'Boxing After Dark' – 9:45 p.m. ET / 02:45 GMT
Erislandy Lara (17-1-1) vs. Vanes 'Nightmare' Martirosyan (32-0-0). Light middleweights, 12 rounds.
- Erislandy Lara's record of 19 professional fights is by no means indicative of his ring experience. Lara's a seasoned Cuban amateur with fantastic boxing intelligence and ability. Vanes Matirosyan's no slouch either and is undefeated, but the level of opposition is quite questionable. Apart from this being an interesting match, I was surprised to see that Top Rank won the purse bid over Lara's promoter, Golden Boy Promotions.
Miguel Angel Garcia (29-0-0) vs. Jonathan Victor Barros (34-3-1). Super featherweights, 12 rounds.
- Miguel Garcia has shown nice ring operator abilities, but he's still a bit unproven. Jonathan Victor Barros' is a reputable opponent and certainly feels he has a chance to win.
Emmanuel 'Game Boy' Tagoe (19-1-0) vs. George 'Red Tiger' Ashie (23-3-1). Lightweights, 12 rounds.
- This match is a big deal in the boxing talent rich nation of Ghana. The talented and promising, Emmanuel Tagoe, who is trained by boxing legend Azumah 'Zoom-Zoom' Nelson, faces the equally noteworthy George Ashie. There's been a nice amount of talk between both guys, which never hurts to build anticipation. It's also the first promotional effort by Asamoah Gyan's 'Baby Jet Promotions.'

By ERICA ESTEP 6 News Reporter
KNOXVILLE (WATE) - How much do you know about your family history? Where did your ancestors live? What were their daily lives like, and what do you have in common with them?
Whether it is physical features or an adventurous spirit you've inherited, have you ever wanted to know more? These were all questions I had about my own family history, so I went in search of answers and hoping to help others along the way.
My journey began with research online. Genealogy sites like ancestry.com and familysearch.org make it easy for anyone to begin filling in their family tree.
I quickly traced my father's ancestors from the Carolinas back to England.
However, my mother's line included the most stumbling blocks. I found that my third great grandmother married two brothers, and I still haven't confirmed the father of my great, great grandfather.
Among unusual surnames like Lockhart, Honaker and Stump, I uncovered a few kissing cousins, illegitimate children, an abundance of preachers and even an outlaw or two. All of them originated from the same small mountain town in Virginia.
The experts at the East Tennessee History Center helped me sort it all out. University of Tennessee professor and genealogist Dr. George Sweitzer traced my maternal line back to Honaker, Virginia.
"You will find that they had no compunction about shooting each other over arguments," he said. "The records, some of which I'm going to show you, are filled with murders."
Dr. Sweitzer even found a possible connection to the most famous of feuding families.
"It is also of interest that the Hatfield family moves from Russell County to Pike County, Kentucky. We're talking about the Hatfield and McCoys," he said.
When asked if I'm related to the Hatfields, he responded, "Ah, you've got to be. Everybody is related to everybody else in that county, sometimes officially, sometimes unofficially."
Dr. Sweitzer is still trying to confirm that connection.
I was stunned to find my family history recorded in heritage books at the East Tennessee History Center. I knew my great grandmother was born in Russell County, Virginia, but had no idea how deep my roots run there.
It all began with one of the area's first settlers, Hans Jacob Honaker, from Switzerland.
"It was originally Honeggar," said Sweitzer, "and distinctly German.
The genealogist described my ancestors as fearless adventurers, "rough people who weren't afraid of the Indian threat on the frontier. They were searching for a living. They had come out of a highly oppressive European situation, both from England, from Northern Ireland, from Germany, and from Holland in which they were serfs," he explained.
The search for freedom ended with countless Indian battles in Southwest Virginia, leaving causalities on both sides.
Sweitzer read a story about one of my ancestors whose life was taken by Indians. "The Indians had been watching him work in the fields. When night came, they broke into the cabin. The first he knew of their presence was when their tomahawk gleamed above his head. They killed him in bed, took his wife and children hostage, scalped them and burned the house down."
I was amazed to learn their settlement, Honaker, Virginia, was named for one of my ancestors, and there are many more branches of my family tree there.
I shared just some of the surnames with Kathleen Taylor, curator of the Honaker Heritage Museum. When told I'm related to Honakers, Rays, Lockharts and Stumps, she replied, "Well, if you're spread through all those families, you've got lots of genes here."
The museum provided a glimpse into the town's rich history. Taylor knew the most about the original settlers. "The Honakers sure were religious," she laughed. "They multiplied and helped populate the world."
The largest homes still standing in downtown Honaker once belonged to a distant cousin, Dr. Lockhart, who was the town dentist.
The Honaker library was donated by his daughter, Gaynelle Lockhart. It was her family home, and she willed it to the town for a library so that history could be preserved for future generations.
In the nearby Russell County Library in Lebanon, Virginia, we found at least a dozen history books mentioning my relatives. Recorded stories, marriage, birth and death records, plus cemetery locations helped me fill in missing branches of the family tree.
A storm and an audience of interested livestock was the backdrop for our visit to the Mutter family cemetery, where I took careful notes in hopes of furthering my research.
Two ancestral homes still stand on the farm, allowing me to be transported back in time for awhile.
I picked up even more clues at two Stump family cemeteries, where I found war heroes buried.
The Lockhart family cemetery heralded my Scottish heritage with a gate featuring the coat of arms, a heart and key hole. A cross and chapel also served as reminders that the Lockharts were a deeply religious clan.
I left with a few unanswered questions still, but a greater appreciation for the road my ancestors paved.
The East Tennessee History Center, located in downtown Knoxville, has an entire floor dedicated to genealogy research, and it's free.

Another one at my watering hole tonight; claims to be "exclusive to Old Chicago". Poured into a shaker glass a darker straw color, decent head at first, minimal lacing. Aroma was slight--a little malt and a little citrus. Taste was better than expected; biscuits, malt (always a good thing!) with minimal hop bitterness. Not a west coast IPA by any stretch; I could do a couple of these in a sitting before moving onto something more my style. Not sure of the availability as the menu at Old Chicago says "Old Chicago Exclusive".

Old Chicago, pint glass, bad light but I'll call it a light-golden colored ale. The head is toward the off side of off-white. Lacing is very good, clinging stubbornly. Served in a wicked-cold glass so aroma and taste will likely suffer but let's think refreshing.
The fresh hops really pop in the nose despite the cold, and the taste follows suit. Thank the good people in Montrose for the hops and Idaho Springs for the rest. There are both sweetness and the remarkably strong hop notes in the nose. Grapefruit, or maybe grapefruit or pineapple gummi bears seem to be there too, the sweetness inviting me to smell more.
Balance in the taste is good though the freshness of the hops is still evident. Had I not dabbled in brewing and hop growing I doubt I would recognize whit is the distinctive taste of fresh hops. It is resembled by many things: citrus, pine, juniper, but not one of those things is truly the taste in question. The bitterness is subdued for an American IPA but the presence of fresh hops is very strong. The malts in the beer stand up very well to the hops, not roasty but with plenty of mild sweetness to keep the hops from wiping out the palate.
Returning to the smell, holy wow! this is truly awesome. I need to research the type of hops used but I believe them to be Cascade - yummy. It keeps making me think of candy? I am not exactly sure why, this beer is not sweet.
Warmth - though we are still near to 40 degrees i'd bet, with half a pint left.
Body is medium to light, carbonation high with big bubbles and the finish is dry, thanks a gain to the hops.
I am not sure I will make it back in for another one of these. It is really a good beer for an example of the style (I'd create a new one for fresh/wet hopped IPAs), maybe even a paradigm for a wet hop/fresh hop beer. I am impressed but tend to drink pils these days, and at considerably less than $3-$4/pint (plus tip). Making this beer exclusive to Old C's really reduces drinkability (sorry to those of you who use fewer criteria to judge this category) by inflating price while reducing availability and also reducing quality by making every pint come in an overly-chilled and wide-mouthed glass. I'd love to try it out of a tulip glass at closer to 48 degrees.
I am impressed by the hoppieness to be sure. I view this as a fresh addition (no pun intended) to a lineup that I was really getting tired of. I guesss too many trips through I. Springs and too many stops at the brewery. I am sure there are much worse brewpubs out there.

Criminal Law
Hinds is a brilliant man and an awesome professor. Don't get scared if he calls you out during lecture, he's just fooling around and does it to everyone. 2 open book exams and a 20pg paper. As long as you go to class and do the readings you'll be fine. It's totally worth it if looking to work in the Criminal Justice field.
Great professor, don't skip class, read the assigned readings and take notes. 2 exams 20pg paper. Takes attendance
Greatest professor I've had at Rutgers. He is so knowledgeable, teaches with passion, and has so much personal experience in his field. One exam 50% & one 20pg paper 50%. He allows you to take an optional final exam in case you want to replace the 1st exam grade and will take the higher grade. Open book exam (but know where to find material)
202 309
Professor Hinds was the best teacher I have ever had. It is a difficult course, with a lot of required case reviews, with 2 open book exams and a final paper, but he presents everything well. Highly recommend him if interested in law.
Crim 311
By far the most knowledgable professor in his field. Seriously, google him. The man has seen it all in the field of international law and humanitarian issues, all after being a renowned chemist. What a guy
Professor Hinds.. He was hand down THE BEST professor I had in my years at RU. I had him for criminal law and it was not easy by any means. It was manageable though. Don't let the final paper intimidate you because it was not that bad. I did it the night before and got a B (not that I recommend that) Challenge yourself and take a class with him.
Awesome professor. Determined to teach the students how to approach the law. Tough midterm in Criminal Law: Theory & Practice, but he added a few points after I talked it over with him in office hours. Get a head start on the paper, read the cases, work hard, & learn from a brilliant man. A true college professor.
Prof. Hinds was probably the best professor I've had so far at Rutgers. Not easy by any means, but his demeanor in the class room and the way he presented the material really encouraged learning by the students. He made it interesting and is a brilliant guy. I think he said he's retiring soon, but if you're taking CJ at Rutgers you gotta take him.
From the review it looks like Prof. Hinds hasnt changed in 20 yrs. I took all his classes and he was tough, fair and brilliant. Still look at things with a "jaundiced eye" because of his teaching. My #1 rated professor of all time. If you get the opportunity - challenge yourself and take his classes.
He is an amazing professor, but very strict with grading.
Buy the book because you are going to need it. Open book exams and 20 page paper. I was worried about the paper but ended up getting an A. Must come to class, I didn't really read that much but I found the case briefs online. I wish I have read more to actually learn more than I did. I think he's great, never lost a case. Learn from him.
Awesome professor, really smart, and if you ask he will tell you he has been in the international law field forever, and his resume is incredibly impressive. Read the material or he will embarrass you in front of everyone. That being said, go to class and read and you'll be fine. Exams are tough but open book. 20 page paper, not so bad overall.
Awesome prof! Pay attention or he will call on you and it could be embarassing. A brilliant guy who is well versed and known throughout the world, Do not miss the opportunity to learn from him
quality guy, quality course. the knowledge mr. hinds has is remarkable. must buy textbook; it will be like your bible in this class. take scrupulous notes on the MOVIES and you'll do well. take this course with a clear mind and a light heart and youll do well; don't let him scare you, he's just breaking your balls!! he'll keep you laughing.
He is one of the brightest legal minds of our time, and Rutgers and its students are lucky to have him. His knowledge and expererience are invaluable to any student hoping to continue on to law school.
Professor Hinds is a very intelligent man. His classes were fun, and he knows what he is talking about. I learned a lot about the law and I agree the hardest part of his class was the final paper that ranged between 20 to 25 pages. Finding information for his papers are hard. His test were all open book, his class was not hard, it was fun!
The class is very entertaining. He keeps his lectures going if you don't know. He drills information into you so that you remember. The only downfall about the class is the PAPER 20pages. Footnotes are required. The test is simple if you attend class and pay attention. You can get an A or B pending your paper and test.
The material is a little dry, and the 25 page paper wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. He is a great professor, extremely intelligent, and has a sense of humor. Don't let the paper scare you, it's a decent class overall
If you can get an A in any of his classes, you can succeed in law school. If you just want to take a class, do not waste your time, or his. Probably one of RU's biggest assets in terms of faculty. You will have to think.
Lectures were confusing, and when test time came, you were lost. Don't go to his class and cheat and you will get a good grade. Attend his class and try to do things by the book and you will get a mediocre grade....way life works sometimes

Cover Reveal: Emilie & The Sky World by Martha Wells
Hey guys! Today we're really excited to share with you the absolutely wonderful cover of Emilie & The Sky World by Martha Wells. It has been created by the incredibly talented Amazing15. It's absolutely beautiful and matches the first book in the series perfectly!
A Girl's Own Adventure in the spirit of Jules Verne
When Emilie and Daniel arrive in Silk Harbor, Professor Abindon, an old colleague of the Marlendes, warns them that she's observed something strange and potentially deadly in the sky, a disruption in an upper air aether current. But as the Marlendes investigate further, they realize it's a ship from another aetheric plane. It may be just a friendly explorer, or something far more sinister, but they will have to take an airship into the dangerous air currents to find out. Emilie joins the expedition and finds herself deep in personal entanglements, with an angry uncle, an interfering brother, and an estranged mother to worry about as well as a lost family of explorers, the strange landscapes of the upper air, and the deadly menace that inhabits the sky world.
What do you guys think? Let us know your thoughts!

Brian Mohnsen was a member of the Turner Gill staff who has a MAC Championship Ring to wear. Mohnsen coached the linebackers (2006) and defensive line (2007-09). When Turner Gill left for Kansas "Coach Moose" was one of Many Buffalo Coaches caught between two different regimes. Quinn wanted to bring his own people to Buffalo and the Jayhawks wanted a whole new staff. Worked out real well right?
Mohnsen had a hand in coaching two current Tampa Bay Bucs. Standout defensive ends Steve Means and Trevor Scott. He also helped mold CFL linebacker Ramon Guzman during his time at Buffalo.
Now Coach Mohnsen is in his third year as defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at Southeast Missouri. The former Nebraska Husker coached linebacker Blake Peiffer, who was named to multiple All-America teams.
As a team, Southeast ranked second in the OVC in pass defense during Mohnsen's first two years as defensive coordinator.The Redhawks gave up 244.8 yards per game through the air last season. Southeast also finished third in the conference in turnover margin (+7) during the 2012 campaign.

Water damage causes temporary closure of Sidney's Dorwart Cancer Care Center
Due to water damage from Monday night's storm, patients of the Dorwart Cancer Care Center at Sidney, Neb., will temporarily need to travel to Scottsbluff for radiation therapy.
The storm caused significant damage to the facility, including water damage and a power outage. As of Tuesday afternoon, phones were not working at the cancer center and at least one sump pump had stopped working.
"We want to assure our patients in Sidney that they will be able to continue their radiation therapy at the Cancer Treatment Center in Scottsbluff," said Jeff Kriewald, BS, RT, (R), (T), Regional West Director of Cancer Services. "We regret that they will have to drive to Scottsbluff, but they will receive the treatment they need at the Cancer Treatment Center in Scottsbluff for as long as necessary.
The Dorwart Cancer Care Center will be closed indefinitely for clean-up and repairs. Staff will contact patients to reschedule their treatment at the Cancer Treatment Center.
In addition, visiting physician clinics that are usually held at the Dorwart Cancer Care Center may need to be rescheduled. The individual physician offices will contact their patients with rescheduling information if necessary.

text: Well i dont think we are going to get Gabbert, and I personally dont want Newton; and with question marks at all the other quarterbacks in the draft why not use one of our 5th round picks and snag a hometown boy. Last year there was a little talk about grabbing Decker, which we didnt do and with all the injuries to the WR core last year we definately could have used him. I was real big on Decker coming out of the draft last year mainly because of the fact he would have been the Vikings version of Joe Mauer. With another opportunity with Weber, I dont see what we have to lose. At 6'3" 220 lbs, he seems to have the size. With 50 starts, he seems to have the experience; and with 56 touchdowns he seems to have the arm. Today Spielman is at the pro day with Weber and with Spielman choosing to go to the Gopher's pro day as opposed to Auburn or Arkansas - I think he is contemplating the same thing. So what do you think - draft weber? Get our hometown hero?

A short clip by 13angelo of ESPI 4
Hey Robbie, I know you won NACCC Polo 2008 but be careful not to rack up too many tourny wins or you might end up like me and get dogged by haters for the same thing you're getting cheers for here. And I'm not pointing fingers at you. I like the play. You're like the me of Canada.
I think it is a bullshit move Robbie…It is too easy to push people off their bikes using your hand. I have no problem with the shoulder but when the forarm and hand are involved it is cheap. How is that clean Jake? Straight arms are not clean period. I see the midwest defending this type of play all over the place and it blows my mind. When you play like this you do get a reputation for dirty play. It comes down to people doing anything to win. I don't want to win with those goals…but it is even worse to loose from these goals. I must say Doug has pulled back from this type of play becuase everyone told him he was wrong…I can only hope the same works on other folks who attack goalies with striaght arms, t-bones and other illegal plays.
it is bullshit, way too easy to do, and not skilful at all. you can push anybody off their bike pretty much at any time, it doesn't take anything approaching talent. that kind of contact is like t-boning to me, just too easy, the other player can't avoid it, and doesn't do anything for the game. opening the door for that kind of thing makes all sorts of other stupid shit okay as well. there is no place for it, if you can't beat them with your bike or your mallet then maybe it's time to practice on those things. nobody plays like that out west and we can still beat a lot of easterly teams, so it's not like it's some kind of requirement for winning. in fact, seabass scored the winning goal because brian was too busy knocking me off my bike to play proper defence.
coming from a goalies point of view its pretty bush just the straight arm robbie pretty much punched him off his bike. there are "clean" ways to take out a goalie slashing mallets so they break is just asking for trouble one you have a chance of missing which people did and hit me in the foot ankle and shin. you can have the same effect by hooking the mallet or head to head contact. secondly you dont need to knock a goalie on there ass you just need them to put there foot down shoulder to shoulder at decent speeds is fine in my eyes. and you know what when you play bush against a goalie they play bush back.
yea, for once all the pansies are right. its an illegal move. he could have used an elbow or shoulder but the hands and forearms are not legit, unless its used to stop someone else hand or forearm, or if is a fist, but thats a different sport.
but, to say that doesnt take talent, is wrong. its not easy to ride up push a big guy down with one hand keep the goal clear.
In your face robbie you stupid prick. Too bad doug didn't post the video portion where i lay my bike down under you and you get a little doo doo in your mouth. Also too bad no one shot a video of the saturday game. It was 5-1 RVA if you are choosing not to remember. Maybe we should just go ahead and post the video of the last minute of sudden death at the Spring Fling this year. You remember that one, eh? No stiff arm bullshit; just a sick juke and a clean shot through your wheels. I fucking hate you. RICHMOND 4-9 for life. You will not reach double digits.
PS: I miss you and kind of miss Alexis.
ok i want to step back in for a second . it is obvious by peoples reaction that due to my work computer being old and slow and the video being choppy i messed the angle of robbie straight arming the goalie. i am for shoulder to shoulder bumping to force the footdown not reckless taking out of goalie. it appeared to be a clean shoulder chekc but if you all have nicer faster computers and can view videos you may hvae had the better angle…and got mad about it then my view point could be wrong.
anyway see ya all ina few weeks
Again, over here in Cambridge, England that goal would have been disallowed and the player reprimanded in whatever way. Obviously, I haven't seen the rest of the video so don't know what happens next but if nothing then that is ridiculous. If you want to take out a goalie, knock out their mallet if they are leaning on it on ride alongside them (if you have the ball) and put the pressure on them/lean into them. A full on shove with your arm directly seems completely out of context with any ideals of fair play.
First of all I want to express that I don't condone any off the ball contact. Never had never will. In my perfect polo world any off the ball contact would not happen. With that being said, and after just reading the bitch and moan on the London site, Once again the grey area of what is acceptable contact is in the air. The reason that Nick got on his way to tap out was cause it really was not that different from any other game. That shit happens all the time and everyone boos or cheers depending on who their supporting. Until there is a strict detailed rule set this will continue to happen. ( From the London site "Overly aggressive behavior such as grabbing, pushing, punching with hands, pushing or kicking with feet, and headbutting will be considered a strong penalty.") This still is not enough cause he hit him with a forearm and not his hands and for an elimination round of a large tournament I don't think it was overly aggressive, and judging from the way Nick went to tap he probably didn't think it was a big deal either. Perhaps ONLY shoulder to shoulder contact would be a better solution.
Some people need to watch their mouths. Yorgo you couldn't wrestle my 10 year old daughter to the ground.
And don't think that it doesn't go the other way with Robbie as well. He gives as he receives. Hate the game not the player people.
See y'all in a few weeks
i don't think that the straightarm, if it is that, is the problem. the problem is using the hand/wrist forearm. checks should be shoulder-to-shoulder, that's it.
i would also potentially be happy if we outlawed shoulder-checking the goalie and maybe even mallet-hacking the goalie. but at the same time, full-time goalies make for boring polo, to play or to watch.
no error i was actually trying to punch Nick in the face but i missed and got the shoulder instead , if anything i am mad as hell at myself for that piece of shit swing i took eairler in the game when i dabbed out and like fuck if a bunch of englsh poofs think there gonna wrestle somebodys uncle to the ground fuck you Yorgo and your pussy ass comeover.
I thought the rule was "like contact only". What I see in that video is someone reaching out and pushing another player. I don't see how that could possibly be "like contact". He could have done exactly the same thing by going shoulder to shoulder, and that would have been fine, but this is a cheap move.
Kev, I like it better when people have good things to say.
total dick
super lame
stupid prick
way lame
I guess this is all bike polo players of today see.
I see something else. But I am not afraid to play or be played against rough. It's a rough sport, and if no one is in SERIOUS danger… Keep playing and stop bitching.
more questionable play here – check the mallet to frame hook at 25 seconds:
yorgo that's an illusion of the camera angle. if robbie really yanked on his frame, nick would not be standing after.
brian, good points.
don't be a dick rule is useless. so is rule about "like to like contact".
The questions are:
1) can you check with your wrist/forearm? i agree with coach, shoulder-to-shoulder should be the only kind of checking.
2) can you check off the ball? i think most people think no.
3) is there an exception for checking the goalie off the ball?
i hope people stop whining about the "dicks", and actually be constructive about grey areas in the rules.
Kev, I'll put this in perspective to the EHBPC rules.
Play of the Ball:
* Play of the ball is considered to be anything *directly* related with the process of blocking possession, gaining possession, passing, traveling with and putting the ball into your opponent's goal.
The whole concept here is the ball. As far as I can tell from 13angelo's vids this guy never had possession of the ball. *directly* is translated as within one maneuver of the ball. If the ball was on it's way towards the goal it would be ok to check the goalie within accordance to:
* Players must not touch the floor with their feet. Touching the wall or barrier with your feet is allowed; feet must not touch the floor. Each time a player does foot-down, that player is out of play and may not play the ball until they touch either sideline at center court. The player must immediately tap-out and not purposefully obstruct play. Intentionally obstructing play after foot-down will be considered a strong penalty. A possible goal that is blocked by a player out of play due to foot-down is not a goal.
* Throwing your mallet is not allowed at any time and will be considered a strong penalty.
* T-bone' or charging. Intentional, forward moving bike contact that is perpendicular or near perpendicular (resulting in a maneuver similar in shape to a letter 'T') will be considered a strong penalty.
* Overly aggressive behavior such as grabbing, pushing, punching with hands, pushing or kicking with feet, and headbutting will be considered a strong penalty.
This guy also obviously pushed the goalie with his hand/forarm which would result in time out of the game.
rory just re-started this thread at http://bikepolo.ca/forum/general/2009/05/13/hand-pushing
"goalies" have always been a bit of a grey area in what is an acceptable level of contact, and untill about a year ago that hit would have been considered polite cause he did not hit him at speed. The level that goalies would get taken out was much heavier a while back. At least on the east coast.
Somewhere on you tube there is a clip from the 07 ESPI with Doug sprinting from the tap out cone and laying a shoulder to Angelos chest putting him back a good 2 meteres. (Approximatley 6 feet for those that don't have Adam to convert for them.) Par for the course back then. If you were posting in the net you knew it was coming.
Here is a clip from the 07 ESPI. Not much to do with goalies but a lot of off-the-ball contact. Nobody ever said shit!
We've all seen that ESPI video before, and there is nothing remotely questionable in it, just normal bike polo crashes. There may be a bit of shoving from Paul at the 27sec mark, but even that is not clear.
If what this Robbie guy does in the first vid is considered fair play, I guess us "whining Euros" are just not used to it. And it would simply not go down well here. However I've played plenty of times in NYC, plus many more times with US players in Europe and have never seen stuff like that.
Maybe you only see what you want but I see lots of t-bones, Corey and Doug right at the begining with no ball in site, and the time
your refering to with Paul is the exact same arm motion that is in question to send Montana to the deck, only at mid court and with a foot down. What I was trying to get at is the display of off the ball contact. Which is the whole point to the goalie debate. Is a player with out the ball allowed to be contacted in any manner? In the goal or not. While running a screen? Is there a difference between posting in the net or posting at mid court. If so please explain the difference. Also there are no penalties in polo. So please explain to me how to enforce this. Other than the crowd giving you shit what is there. There are only goal judges at most tournaments over here. So who makes a call in a situation like that.
I would also like to know what tournaments you have played in over here. None that I have been at. Pick up is not the same. There is almost zero contact that is not an accident in Ottawa but tourneys are different. And yes Yorgo I have played with you in NYC. I find it hard to believe you haven't seen ANYTHING like that,from what I remember you were banging me around off the play quite abit.
Are you not the one who started "IN NEW YORK THEY________." BEAT THE F@*K OUT OF EACH OTHER is what thay do.
However I do appreciate the fact that London has made leeps and bounds as far as detailed rule set being directed to the players.
Not such a simple process here as we don't live within such close proximity of each other. And the game developing in so many bubbles around North America. It would be much easier to have everyone on the same page if we all had started only a couple of years ago.
PS.Weshould move this over to bikepolo.ca so Doug can have his site back. And we can get many more peoples panties in a bunch.
Thanks Doug, Kev was right it feels like old times posting so many rants in a row on this site again.

It could soon be illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to buy alternative nicotine products such as electronic cigarettes.
House members are expected to vote on Bill 251 Monday. It would prohibit the sale of electronic cigarettes and nicotine gum and patches to people under 18.
Health officials say E-cigs are being marketed to a younger audience.
"Nicotine is one of the most addictive drugs that is known to man. And they are not considered safe, even the FDA has not given their approval for e cigarettes to be considered safe," said Remy Hutchins, RN, BSN, MPH, of Southwest Georgia Public Health.
Republican Representative Alan Powell from Hartwell introduced the bill.

Same-sex marriage laws don't necessarily apply across state lines. That's what one Georgia woman is discovering as she tries to have her name changed on her Georgia driver's license. The Associated Press reports that the woman says state officials won't allow her to change her name on her driver's license to reflect her marriage to her wife. The Atlanta Journal –Constitution says Danielle McCollum was trying to add the last name of her wife, Shakira Tucker to her Georgia drivers' license this month. The couple got married in July in Massachusetts where same sex marriage is legal.
A department spokeswoman has refused to comment about this specific case, but says the state constitution prohibits state agencies from accepting same-sex marriage documentation for any purpose.

A New York Times bestseller
Luke is the perfect boyfriend: handsome, kind, fun.
He and Emaline have been together all through high school in Colby, the beach town where they both grew up. But now, in the summer before college, Emaline wonders if perfect is good enough.
Enter Theo, a super-ambitious outsider, a New Yorker assisting on a documentary film about a reclusive local artist. Theo's sophisticated, exciting, and, best of all, he thinks Emaline is much too smart for Colby.
Emaline's mostly-absentee father, too, thinks Emaline should have a bigger life, and he's convinced that an Ivy League education is the only route to realizing her potential. Emaline is attracted to the bright future that Theo and her father promise. But she also clings to the deep roots of her loving mother, stepfather, and sisters. Can she ignore the pull of the happily familiar world of Colby?
Emaline wants the moon and more, but how can she balance where she comes from with where she's going?
Sarah Dessen's devoted fans will welcome this story of romance, yearning, and, finally, empowerment. It could only happen in the summer.

GULF SHORES, AL (KCBD)– A three-run two-out rally for No.23 Simon Fraser University helped upset No.7 Lubbock Christian University 4-3 Friday afternoon in pool play of the NAIA Softball National Championship at Gulf Shores Sportsplex.
LCU Softball: Lady Chaps Fall to Defending Champions 4-3
All three LCU runs were driven in by Kayla Van Dieren, who went 4-for-4 at the plate. Her single to left-centerfield in the bottom of the third inning allowed LCU to take a 1-0 lead, as it scored Priscilla FaGaines from second base.
LCU led 1-0 with two outs in the top of the sixth inning and the Clan was down to their final four outs with no one on base when they started their rally. Brittany Mayers, Megan Durrant and Lauren Mew hit consecutive singles, and Rosie Murphy followed with a blooper behind the right side of the infield down the rightfield line for a two run double and SFU led 3-1. The Lady Chaps committed a trio of errors in the seventh inning and Kelsey Haberl's ground ball to Andrea Argee at second base took a big hop past Argee and it resulted in a key run scoring.
In the bottom of the seventh inning Van Dieren hit a two-run home run over the left-centerfield fence and LCU cut the deficit to 4-3. Kim Frazier came up with two outs and singled to left field, but she would be stranded at first base, as Latainna Eltsosie lined out to left field.
SFU pitcher Cara Lukawesky (16-8) allowed seven hits in seven innings, and Van Dieren, Argee and Frazier were the only Lady Chaps to record at least one hit in the game. Alyssa Freight pitched 6.1 innings and allowed three earned runs off eight hits.
LCU fell to 51-10, while defending champion SFU improved to 18-24. The Clan are in their final season of NAIA softball, as they are in a transition season as a member of the NCAA Div. II's Great Northwest Athletic Conference. SFU is 2-0 in pool play and LCU is 1-1. For LCU to advance, they would need to defeat Rinehardt University Saturday at 2:30 p.m., and for Simpson University to defeat Rinehardt University Friday evening and Simon Fraser Saturday. Saturday's LCU game will air locally as a "join in progress" on KFYO 790 AM.

Atlanta took a short three-game road trip to Philadelphia and managed to take two of three from the Phillies, pushing the Braves record in May to 7-1. Atlanta hopes to continue their hot play in May against Washington as the Nationals come to the friendly confines of Turner Field for a three-game set.
The Nationals enter the series with an overall record of 16-18, and are seven games back of the division leading Phillies. The Nats are 4-4 in the month of May, and are coming off an impressive series win against Florida as they took two of the three on the road from the Marlins.
This is the second meeting between the two clubs, as the Braves took two of three from Washington to begin the season. Not a whole lot has changed except for some injuries to the Nationals. Ryan Zimmerman is out until mid-June it appears after surgery to repair a torn abdominal muscle. Rick Ankiel is also on the DL, as he suffered a sprained right wrist and is out until mid-May, while reliever Chad Gaudin is also out with right shoulder inflammation.
Pitching matchups and more after the jump..

Jason Marquis
#21 / Pitcher / Washington Nationals
Aug 21, 1978
Tim Hudson
#15 / Pitcher / Atlanta Braves
Jul 14, 1975
Jason Marquis comes into the series with a record of 3-1 with an ERA of 3.66 and a FIP of 2.89. Marquis has pitched well for the Nationals this season, although he is coming off his worst start of the season, where he gave up seven runs (six earned) along with ten hits in only five innings of work against Philadelphia. Marquis hasn't walked many batters, only seven total and never more than two in any start this year. Known as a ground ball pitcher, he has taken that to new levels this year as he has a GB% of 56.3, a career high. He doesn't strike out a ton of batters, K/9 of 5.95, but Atlanta will have their hands full with Marquis.
Atlanta counters with Tim Hudson, who has been absolutely fantastic again in 2011. He is coming off his best start of the season, where he was absolutely dominant against Milwaukee. Hudson gave up only one hit and one walk while striking out six in while throwing a complete game. He also is pitching on an extra day of rest, which can't hurt. Hudson owns the Nationals in his career, as he has a lifetime 11-2 record with a 1.88 ERA in 19 career starts against Washington.

John Lannan
#31 / Pitcher / Washington Nationals
Sep 27, 1984
Tommy Hanson
#48 / Pitcher / Atlanta Braves
Aug 28, 1986
John Lannan gets the ball in game two of the series for the Nationals. Lannan sports a record of 2-4 with an ERA of 5.09 and a FIP of 4.86. He comes into the series on a personal three start losing streak, including an awful outing in his last start against the Phillies when he lasted only two innings while giving up six runs and seven hits along with a homer. Unfortunately for Atlanta, he seems to pitch his best when facing the Braves. Atlanta saw him in the season opening series, as he pitched five innings of one run ball earning a win. For his career, he is 4-2 with a 3.60 ERA against the Braves at Turner Field. Lannan doesn't strike out many, K/9 of 4.84, and has a tendency to walk a few with a BB/9 of 3.82. He historically pitches well against Atlanta as do most soft tossing lefties these days, but the Braves will have their chances to get on Lannan.
Tommy Hanson enters the series with a personal three start winning streak, as he has been cruising lately. In his last start, he threw six good innings in Milwaukee, giving up three hits and two runs while striking out seven. Hanson has a ridiculous K/BB ratio of 41/11 on the season, and has limited opponents to a .124 batting average in his last three starts. In his seven career starts against Washington, he is 2-2 with an ERA of 3.12.

In the finale of the three-game series, the Nationals will send Jordan Zimmerman to the mound. Zimmerman enters with a record of 2-4 to go along with an ERA of 4.10 but with a FIP of 2.74. Zimmerman is coming off a good outing in Florida, where he pitched well but earned a no-decision after throwing six innings of five hit ball while only giving up two runs and striking out six. He has changed his approach on the mound from how he was pitching before he got hurt in 2009 and his injury shortened 2010. So far this year, he's throwing his slider more than he ever has, 22.8 % percent of the time compared to 16.4 % of the time in 2009, while also throwing his curve ball a little more than he was in 09 (13.4% to 10.7%). For his career, Zimmerman is 2-1 in three starts against Atlanta with an ERA of 2.65.
The Braves counter with Brandon Beachy, who has been everything the Braves expected and more in 2011. Beachy is coming off of a great start in Milwaukee where he threw six great innings, giving up four hits and only one run while striking out nine. Beachy has showed impeccable control in 2011, flashing a K/BB ratio of 45/11 which is just fantastic. For the season, he is 1-1 with an ERA of 2.98 and a FIP of 2.96 while carrying a K/9 of 9.57. Not too shabby for the fifth starter on the staff. He's only faced Washington once, and he earned a no decision last season as he pitched five innings and gave up only two runs.
Offensive Outlook:
The Nationals, to put it simply, have struggled offensively so far in 2011. Some offensive struggles were to be expected with the loss of Ryan Zimmerman, but it's been tougher sledding than the Nationals could have imagined. Washington is next to last in the NL in batting average (.224), slugging percentage (.342), and wOBA (.289) while dead last in the NL in on-base average (.295).
While he is still somewhat splitting time with Pudge Rodriguez, catcher Wilson Ramos has been the best bat for the Nationals so far in 2011. Ramos is hitting .319/.377/.493 with a wOBA of .368. Other than that, most of the Nationals hitters have struggled mightily. New off-season acquisition Jayson Werth is hitting .227/.324/.387, Adam LaRoche is hitting .196/.300/.313, Ian Desmond .217/.250/.383 while Danny Espinosa is hitting .221/.321/.389. It'll be interesting to see if the Nationals hitters start turning things around in this series.
Drew Storen-RH (CL)
Sean Burnett-LH
Doug Slaten-LH
Brian Broderick-RH
Henry Rodriguez-RH
Todd Coffey-RH and FAT
The Nationals bullpen has been solid in 2011 so far. Hard throwing Drew Storen has done well in the closers spot, earning seven saves while blowing none and sporting an ERA of 0.48. Sean Burnett has also picked up a couple of saves, and has pitched relatively well besides a blown save early on and a rough outing against the Mets. As a pen, the Nationals have an ERA of 3.02, good for fifth best in the NL to go with a FIP of 3.32. With Burnett and Slaten, they have a pair of lefties to play matchups against the Braves left-handed bats. Tyler Clippard in his last appearance pitched two innings and struck out every batter he saw. Todd Coffey is still fat (somehow listed at a slim 241 pounds HA) yet still somewhat effective. While not flashy, the Nationals pen is solid.
Series Outlook:
The Braves come in on a May hot streak, and they've got a favorable pitching matchup in every game of the series. Lannan always gives the Braves fits though, so I would be happy with taking two of three from the Nationals and continuing the May magic.

Colbert's my bud
As you all know by now, the draft is a bit of a crapshoot and if you follow the hype and draft accordingly, you are likely to end up as a .500 (winning percentage) team. Take a look back at the previous 4 or 5 years drafts and see if the players you liked for your team before the draft, see how they've performed in the 'bigs'.
The first round is really de-mystified by the time the draft rolls around - everyone knows (or think they do) the top 25 players. Most teams, you must assume, are better prepared than the average draftnik or the ones making a living out of it (Kiper, McShay, Mayock etc). So, the first round is more predictable in terms of who may be picked. In a previous post, I felt if I was drafting for the Steelers, I would have Graham, Wilson, Weatherspoon, Mays or Williams as my projected #1. My board so to speak. When 18 is called , I then make the call. I have a slightly lower grade on Oedrick - low 1st into 2nd round - so if my premier guys are not there, I trade down and tag him.
If, by chance, a CJ Spiller or a Dez Bryant is available at 18, what should be done?
Some other time, I'll rant about why Taylor Mays may be a good fit for the Steelers. So after all that, here are the players on my board, for the rest of the draft, in no particular draft order - just players I am interested in and will further assess:
Koa Misi OLB, Thaddeus Gibson OLB, Jamar Chaney ILB, Sean Lee ILB, AJ Edds LB, Pat Angerer LB, Roderick Muckleroy ILB
Linval Joseph DL, Greg Hardy DE, Lamarr Houston DL
Chris Cook DB, Brandon Ghee DB, Morgan Bennett DB, Perrish Cox DB
Charles Scott RB, Toby Gerhart RB, Legarette Blount RB
Matt Tennant C
Aaron Hernandez TE
Emanuel Sanders WR
As you can see, my draft is defense heavy and it's like that for good reason. This year you can stock up on LB's and DE's, there are many. Where the Steelers fell last year - Special teams and overall defense - are linked to poor depth at the LB and DB position. At least eight starter "capable" backers would be ideal on a 3-4 defensive team. The strength of your team is in the quality of your backups. At LB and DB, for a 3-4, in today's game, you load up on those carbs when you can.

How do I HATE thee? Let me count the ways.
I HATE thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal HATE
I HATE thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I HATE thee freely, as men strive for HATE
I HATE thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I HATE thee with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I HATE thee with a HATE I seemed to never lose
With my lost bammers, --- I HATE thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! --- and, God agrees,
I shall but HATE thee better after death.
by Bammer (hat tip: Elizabeth Barrett Browning)


text: Aaarrgggh. Last check in the booklet, and this idiot dates it as 1/30/13. Are more checks in the car? Or are those different checking accounts? I know I have more at home from this checking account. Ah fuck it, I'll just change this /13 to a /14 even if it looks like shit. Changing a 2 to a 3 was so much easier last year at this time. I guess now that it will be February I should probably remember that it's 2014. Or I'll just pay it forward and punch the next Gregorian fellow I see. Chant about that, asshole.

Hey guys,
I'm a huge Andris fan (excited that they just locked him up long term), and I've been looking for something other than a trading card autographed by him for a looong time. I've searched on ebay, craigslist, but I haven't had much luck.
So getting to the point, I found this auction with a signed city hat, and it looks legit and all, but did he really sign autographs at a Verizon store last year?
Sorry, I'm not from the Bay Area, so I wouldn't know, but I'm a huge Warrior fan and am always keeping up with them.
Here is the auction link. http://cgi.ebay.com/Andris-Biedrins-Signed-Autograph-City-Hat-Cap-Warriors_W0QQitemZ300246216235QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item300246216235&_trksid=p3286.m14.l1318
I'm almost positive the signature is legit, I've seen his signauture on a lot of cards, but let me know what you guys think. Thanks!

Build your personal cloud services
Own the Cloud: Set up your own personal cloud server with ownCloud.
Moving your data and applications to the cloud seems like a great solution to many problems. You can access your files and documents from any device connected to the Internet, sync data between multiple machines, and stay productive while on the move. A myriad of third-party cloud-based services would be happy to store your data and give you access to their web-based applications for a monthly or yearly fee, but this approach raises another set of security and privacy issues. Besides, third party services come and go. Even the most well-established cloud services that seem too big and popular to fail could fade away with time. In theory, you should be able to get your data back, but things don't always work out in practice. Even if you manage to get a hold of your documents and files, migrating to another cloud-based service can be both time consuming and expensive.
