WEC General Manager Reed Harris took some time out to chat with fans at MMA Junkie today. Below are some of the more interesting excerpts.
On the WEC's forthcoming flyweight division:
We have no [sic] determined our actual date, but we hope to have the 125ers launched by the end of the year. We have been in talks with a number of the top flyweights in the world and our goal is to launch a division that is equal to our 35 and 45 pound division
An unprompted bit of great news:
We are working on a DVD deal now. Sit tight on that... Hopefully before the years [sic] out.
On whether the excellence of Takeya Mizugaki-Miguel Torres will bring more Japanese fighters to the WEC:
As for the Japanese fighters, we are always looking for the best talent across the world. The thing that has shifted is that we get calls from Japan saying that their fighters want to fight the best in the world... Kid [Yamamoto]....we've talked to him, but hes currently under contract. If that changes, we'd like to have him here. Great fighter and we'd love to see him in the WEC cage
On possibly adding ladies' fights to the mix:
We're always looking to put on the fights that fans want to see. If that means adding a women's division, we are absolutey open to it
On whether the struggling veteran Jens Pulver will be cut if he loses his fight with Josh Grispi at WEC 41:
Jens will always have a home with Zuffa. He's a great ambassador for the sport.. We love Jens...as a fighter...as a commentator...as a human being. Great guy."
On hosting a possible PPV in Mexico:
We think Mexico is a great market and we have a great TV partner in Cadena Tres. It is a logical destination for us. It's a great step for expansion and some of our stars, notably Miguel, are HUGE there.
On rumors of bantamweight kingpin Torres moving up in weight:
Our 135 division is so deep, Miguel is going to be busy for the next few years. If he wins his next bout, he's going to have three or four challenges waiting in the wings. And for the record, Miguel loves the WEC and its his home.
On whether the WEC will end their relationship with Versus soon:
No, we plan on being partners with VERSUS for a long time. We have a great relationship... WEC WrekCage - new episodes will air in June. New series, some great fights too
When asked to name a WEC fighter to look out for:
James Krause...he is fighting Donald Cerrone on June 7. He's 10-0, with one fight going out of the first round. 18-1 as an amateur. 6'2", 155, a real force to look out for... That Krause-Cerrone fight will be aired live on VERSUS too
On where the WEC goes next (literally):
Future cities....we are constantly looking for markets to take the WEC. We expect three new markets in 2009...and venues contact us on a weekly basis asking for us to bring events to their towns

Teenager chased from Southend Library on Victoria Avenue to the Odeon by men wielding sticks
3:58pm Saturday 29th March 2014 in Echo News By Paul Nizinskyj
A TEENAGER was chased by two men carrying a metal pole and a stick after he refused to hand over his phone.
The 17-year-old man was chased by the men from the former library on Victoria Avenue between about 9.30pm and 9.45pm on Wednesday after being asked for the time by a woman who was walking alone.
She stopped and asked whether he had the time, to which he replied no, and walked off.
Two men then shouted behind him, one holding a metal pole and the other a wooden stick.
They demanded he handed over his phone and the woman tried to grab his wrist but he was able to run away.
The victim said they chased him but, as he neared the Odeon, had gone.
The woman is described as about 20 years old, with dark skin, six feet tall, of thin build and with chin length, wavy, dark red hair shaved on one side. She wore all black clothing with a hooded top and had an African accent.
Both men were black, about 20 years old, with African accents. One was about six feet tall, of big build, wearing black clothing with a black beanie hat and his hood up. The other was shorter and his hair was shaved at the sides.
Anyone who was in the area at the time and witnessed any of this incident or has any information is asked to contact PC Kirsty Morgan at Southend CID on 101 or via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Kitchen islands are very popular amongst homemakers as it is a meal preparation space that also doubles as a place to have a quick bite. They come in various sizes, shapes and designs and are usually placed in the middle of the kitchen for easy access from all sides.
Thinking about a kitchen island for your kitchen not only provides extra space in your kitchen, it also gives you a comfortable place for preparing meals. However there are some points to consider if you are thinking of installing a kitchen stand.
Sufficient clearance space
First of all, you have to ensure that there is sufficient clearance space for the kitchen island in your kitchen. If it is small in size and simple in design, you don't actually require much clearance. Generally, you require a minimum of 36 inches of walking space around the island.
The more there is the better it is as it facilitates easy movement around the kitchen and makes it easy to open cabinets and use appliances. This is important as it is annoying bumping into things while working. Moreover, smaller kitchen islands give your kitchen the appearance you desire without much hassle.
Place to do homework
If you have extra space, you could consider buying a bigger kitchen island that comes with more cabinets and perhaps additional features like an attached sink. These kitchen islands also come with sufficient space to place a toaster or microwave and other similar features and capabilities.
Not only can you use these kitchen islands for preparing and eating food, many mothers also use it as a place for their kids to do their homework while they keep an eye on them. In case your kitchen is not large enough to hold a kitchen island, you could consider using a portable butcher block or a kitchen cart that gives you better kitchen space in your small kitchen.
Proper ventilation and maintenance
Besides the size of the kitchen island, if you are thinking about a kitchen island for your kitchen, do remember to place emphasis on proper ventilation. This means you have to ensure you have a ventilation hood installed to get rid of all your cooking smoke and odors within a few minutes' time. You could also install a small ventilation fan instead of the ventilation hood for throwing away all the excess odors and smoke circulating in the kitchen.
Some kitchens are designed or rather shaped in such a way that it is difficult to actually install a kitchen island. The only thing to do in such situations is look for a smaller or different shaped kitchen island or renovate your kitchen to accommodate the kitchen island. Of course, this may not be feasible for everyone.
Do remember that if you are thinking about a kitchen island for your kitchen, it entails additional maintenance and cleaning commitment from your side. You have to take care of its countertop and ensure its cabinets and other structures are always maintained well. If you find it difficult just maintaining your kitchen, it may not be suggestible or advised to have a kitchen island installed.
Take a look at the video I posted below it will certainly help you in the decision-making process.

Winter tourist season seeing growth over last year — McNeill
MINISTER of Tourism and Entertainment Dr Wykeham McNeill said the current winter tourist season which runs from December 15 to April 30 is already seeing growth in arrivals over last year.
McNeill, who was speaking to journalists last Thursday, while touring several sites in Trench Town, Kingston, as part of activities to mark the 69th birthday of reggae icon Bob Marley said the preliminary figure is showing an increase of 4.7 per cent over last year.
The minister noted that the figure could have been better if weather conditions in the United States (US), had not affected flights coming to Jamaica.
"We are talking to our partners to see how we can arrange it. There is nothing to really worry or panic about, but the big picture is that Jamaica continues to do very well in its tourist arrivals," McNeill said.
He lauded the efforts of stakeholders to keep the Bob Marley celebrations going on his birthday. "We market Kingston as the cultural capital of the Caribbean, but there is so much more we have to offer, and what we want to do is to determine how we can develop this into a more formal tour," the minister said.
According to McNeill, people come to Kingston and "they want to see what it is we have to offer, and we have to ensure that we package it in a way where it is saleable to the maximum".
The minister urged more Jamaicans, especially students, to visit the Trench Town area and to understand the history and heritage.
McNeill was accompanied on the tour by his junior minister Damion Crawford; Mayor of Kingston Senator Angela-Brown Burke, community leaders, and agency officials.

LA Times Show Tracker Blog Recalls Larry King's Best Gaffes
Tonight marks the final edition of Larry King Live.
While we have a compendium of his bias, the veteran talk show host is equally known for some pretty tremendous gaffes.
King is the Joe Biden of cable TV news -- or is Joe Biden the Larry King of politics? -- but Scott Collins of the Show Tracker blog at the L.A. Times lists what he considers King's top four goofy interview moments.
My personal favorite of those four is from 2007, when King asked a professional skateboarder questions like, "Can you make money skateboarding?" and "How important is the board?"

I'm sitting here trying out this beer cause it was discounted at TJ's for clearance.
Look, I'm not gonna try to describe all those flavors other reviewers used but it at least has flavor---still better than Corona. Not to dis Corona, but I tried it once or twice and...
On the plus side, I did catch a buzz which probably disqualifies me for even writing a review. This is actually my first review after lurking for years. Pluses? It's not bad for a cheap discounted beer.
Happy Friday the 13th.
Nuff said. Yay beer!

My brother got this for very cheap at Trader Joes. With it being a winter ale still available in the spring and Trader Joes generally having some pretty good beer deals, it wasn't a total shock to find this for so cheap. It ended up being a decent, fairly complex brew but I wouldn't go out of my way to buy it.
The taste almost reminded me of a bourbon barrel aged beer as there seemed to be some faint hint of bourbon or some other hard liquor. I also got fruits and sweet malts. Although it was a pretty tasty beer, the taste was almost a little too much, almost like there was too much of something but I am not sure what.

12 oz single as "KBC Winter Ale" from Trader Joes ,Salem OR. $1 Nice darker amber colored ale..with reddish tones. A small yet persistent tan head..turns to great lashings of lace Good toasty cereal aromas and fresh roasted coffee beans,some hazelnuts and raisin too..nice stuff. Smooth yet bitter tasting beer..semi dark chocolate,cream,burnt toast,oats then nice herbal/slight resinous hops. Good and drinkable on the tongue for such a heavy beer. Overall very pleased with this stuff.Its a marvel it survived at all given the terrible treatment TJs hands out to beer. best $1 beer ever

Poured this Winter Ale from a 12 oz bottle into a pint glass. Poured a semi hazy brown color, produced an off white head, nice retention and lacing left on the glass. The aroma of this winter ale consists of brown bread, cinnamon and spice. Medium in body, this brew is chewy and features the fruitiness of apples, raisins and sweet brown sugar. While the flavor of this beer is nice, it is very off balanced - there is an initial intense flavor that peaks and then flatlines like no other beer i have tasted - You have to try to see what I mean. Awkward finish- I will not be buying this in the future. Prost.

12oz bottle served in a glass beer mug.
L - chestnut brown with a off-white head that thinned out but still left trails of lacing.
S - sweet caramel malt and a hint of spices.
T - very malt forward with a touch of ginger finishing caramel sweet on the tongue and lips.
F - medium bodied with a smooth feel and easy drinkability for a beer near 7% abv.
O - a good example of the style at a very reasonable price.
Note: I'm not sure about how fresh the beer was that the other reviewers drank?
I got this beer as it was being packed out at my local Trader Joe's and was told that it just came in. I'm assuming it was very fresh because it tasted darn good for $1 a bottle.

A suspiciously red cast to the dark amber-- not copper, but a fruity red. So of course after the first sip I keep thinking of red licorice. Possibly it's Gummi Worm flavor. But there is plenty of malt to go with the spices and odd candy taste. Aroma is more like wet cardboard and cereal. Still, it's a big flavor with some currants and roasted malt. Hops come on in the aftertaste, which features some bitter metallic notes. Tastes more drinkable after a few sips, but I'd rather just add some SN Celebration to a couple cans of Simpler Times lager for a better result.
In the convenient screw-cap long neck. From Trader Joe's.

12 oz. bottle,
A: Pours a clear brown with a medium off-white head, some lace.
S: Some notes of cinnamon/spice, some toasty brown malt.
T: Over sugarfied malt. Some fruit, raisins, light hoppiness, but dominated by that one brown sugar flavour.
M: Cloying, that's just the way it is. Nothing really to balance the sugar makes it a tough beer to drink. Medium-bodied overall.
O: A good price, but I really didn't get anymore. There are so many better winter warmers that aren't that much pricier. Kind of a mess in the end.

1.53/5 rDev -48.3%
A: Pours a deep reddish/mahogany color with a thin caramel colored head. Looks harmless enough.
S: Uh oh, things not looking as good anymore. Strange bready malt smell with a ton of buttery yeast, butterscotch, a bit of booze and some cardboard.
T: Dammit, why do I keep trying these beers? Why??? This is just flat out bad. Not on the level of Kennebunkport's IPA (the worst beer I've ever had by far), but it's trying hard to get there. The flavors are all over the place. Starts with some roasted malt, but quickly bounces to notes of buttered popcorn and metal. Finish is a bit nutty with some more bread and baby aspirin. Truly regrettable.

Albany -- It was signing day for some MVP's at Albany State University Friday.
The school signed up 18 new presidential scholars. The scholars are all high school seniors at the top of their class. And as a reward for their hard work each will receive full scholarships to ASU, money for books and a new computer.
"I'm very proud to have this scholarship because not a lot of people are able to get it and for me to get it really distinguishing for me and my school," says Brad McCray a Dougherty High senior.
"I know my parents were not financially able to send me to school and with this they will have no worries," says Frenise Venisee a Dougherty High senior.
The students will receive the scholarship money for all four years of their college career as long as they maintain a 3.0 grade point average.

From the battlefields of the Far East to the classrooms of Charlotte-Mecklenburg schools, Col. Harry Ray has worn his Army uniform for nearly 55 years. Ray has announced he will be retiring after nearly three-full decades as a JROTC Instructor and administrator in the CMS system.
"I am giving up my CMS email for pgagolf.com!" he said.
Ray spent the first 26 years of his career in active duty after graduating from Virginia Military Institute. After posting in places like Vietnam, India and Germany, Ray retired from active duty and started working at CMS in 1985.
Ray remembers his JROTC instructors being an instrumental part of his life as a high school student.
"I wanted to give back," he said. "If it wasn't for my JROTC instructors in high school I may have been in Alcatraz."
Ray has spent the last 12 years heading the system's JROTC programs. His accomplishments include opening programs at 11 schools, and creating the Military and Global Leadership Academy at Marie G. Davis. He has overseen system's growth from 1,100 students to over 4,200.
"Col. Ray has the lowest tolerance for anything short of excellence," said Ann Clark, CMS Deputy Superintendent. "He represents three words: integrity, team and champion"
Col. Bob Clark, CMS JROTC Deputy Director, will become director after Ray retires.
"Col. Ray is a wealth of information after all these years," said Clark. "We will miss his expertise. I've been here a year and half and I am still learning."

THE Bendigo Harriers men's team have won their third straight David Kitt Memorial trophy at the weekend.
The men's athletics team convincingly won the award ahead of Wendouree Athletic Club at the 2014 Victorian Country Championships held in Ballarat.
The Harriers finished on 799 points, 313 points higher than second place.
Bendigo Harriers Athletics Club president Geoff Jordan said he was really happy with how the whole team performed.
"It is always an honour to win the David Kitt award, especially because he was a former member of our club," he said.
"He was a valued member of the Harriers."
The Harriers also fell short by just 43 points in the overall team standings, with Athletics Chilwell winning the prestigious award.
"Our performances were encouraging," Jordan said.
"It was a big effort from our team."
Bendigo Harriers' Jemuel Pryse was also awarded the Stuart Hunter Memorial Shield for his outstanding efforts in the under-16 events.
Pryse won gold in the shot put and the pole vault and also won silver in the high jump and triple jump.
The Eaglehawk YMCA female team also won the Ex Athletics Cup.
The three-day carnival attracted competitors from across the state.
Participants of all ages competed in the annual event.
Jordan said the country championships was an event the Harriers looked forward to each year.
"The Country Championships is one of the only chances we get to compete as a team," he said.
"It is an individual sport but it is great to work together as a team."

They need to have a villian / boogeyman to direct people's anger against. It seems that they don't care if it's a real one or a made up one just as long as it's well publicized.
I especially liked the bussing in of Canadian machinists who were taking a Union "class" on lobbying. They gave them a sign and told them exactly what it was all about. The only thing that they didn't do is make all of those sheeple wear bells around their necks.

I watched about 10 minutes, and was certainly "amused". I know it takes some effort, but this video could be whittled down and captioned (and linked to the full 15 minutes as a reference) for greater effect.
So, if the Koch brothers are so "anti-worker", why weren't Koch employees joining the protest?

Hippies beating drums?

That is just so 1960's. Some one just staged a "rally" in Grand Rapids, a "spontaneous" rally, with preprinted signs. And at least 11 attendees. They were protesting the loss of Social Security benefits. The reporterette tried to talk to one of the protesters, and all I could make out was, "they're stealing our benefits". I'm not sure, but seeing the AAFSCME brand on the bottom of the signs, I'd bet they hate anyone who won't keep the gravy train running.

Family Iftar Dinner ~ Iftar Yemegi
Ramadan is one the most prosperous months in the Islamic calender, it is a month of sharing, inviting, feasting and praying. For this reason and many others, I enjoy hosting Iftar dinners. I sometimes wish I had more time in my day and week and that I am able to prepare and host just fun filled evenings. Growing up my moms Iftar dinners were always filled with friends, families and whom ever walked through our front door. Our door and our hearts were always open and welcoming.
I've never had the opportunity experience Ramadan again in Turkey after we moved to the states.
What I remember of my childhood days of Ramadan in Turkey are a bit blurry, but their several things I will never forget. One in specific, is at the time for sahurs. In Turkey, the call to sahur (the meal before sunrise) is specified with a drummer walking up and down our streets and banging away at his bass drum. He was the villages alarm clock, he walked the dark street to awake the villages people. I believe this tradition still continues in certain villages in Turkey.
Well my brother Aydin was very afraid of the drummer, I precisely remember this because every night during the month of Ramadan; as soon as he heard the drummers beat he would crawl out of his bed and crawl right next to me. He was so afraid of the drummer!! We still laugh every time we talk about what he used to do and what he used to say about the drummer.
This past weekend I invited my aunts Melek, Havva with there families as well as and my parents. In the coming week, I hope to host a few more Iftar dinners.
Wishing you all a wonderful Ramadan.

Remember Me
The government of Ghana has announced plans to close down the 'witch' camps in the northern part of the country. The Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection, Nana Oye Lithur stated this recently while inaugurating a committee with a mandate to eradicate witchcraft in the northern region. The minister pledged to support victims of witchcraft accusation through the Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty (LEAP) and get them to register with the state health insurance scheme. The Minister stated that the support and empowerment scheme would enable victims to "flee(sic) their minds from the act.". Nana Oye Lithur did not really explain what she meant by "the act".
This is not the first time the government of Ghana has proposed closing the witch camps as a measure to eradicate witchcraft-related abuse in the country. In 2011, the Deputy Minister for Women and Children's Affairs Hajia Hawawu Boya Gariba announced plans to close down the camps and reintegrate the victims with their families. She described the existence and operation of a witch camp as 'an indictment on the conscience of the society'. These declarations are not unconnected with pressures on state authorities.
There is now a proliferation of products and services promising to "train your brain." In the past we used to call this, "learning." The term "brain training" has a certain connotation that implies something more is happening.
For example, on the website brainmetrix.com they claim:
"You will find some brain fitness workouts that can help your mind process information more quickly, and more efficiently, as well as the ability to perform multiple tasks at the same time."
The implication, if not explicit claim, is that brain training is somehow more than just practicing a particular task in order to become better at that task. Lumosity, for example, promises "scientifically designed training" with a "personalized training program." The advertising is very clever – they say, "discover what your brain can do," instead of simply, "discover what you can do."
On January 1, 2013, my local gym was packed with people, including many new faces. I commented on this to the manager Brandon, who said, "Yep. This is the New Year's resolution crowd, but most of them will be gone by March!" Surely enough, within a few weeks the crowd had thinned, and by March only the usual muscle heads and regulars remained.
On January 1, 2014, many people will resolve to get fit, quit smoking, lose weight, eat healthier food, take up a new hobby, get out of debt, or find a better job. Folk singer Woody Guthrie's list of New Year's resolutions for 1934 are currently doing the rounds of the Internet. These "Rulin's" included, "Drink Very Scant If Any", "Listen to Radio A Lot", and, "Help Win War – Beat Fascism".
The JREF works to expand the impact of what James Randi has been doing for many decades: promoting critical thinking by reaching out to the public and media with reliable information about paranormal and supernatural ideas so widespread in our society today.
Most of our annual support comes during this critical year-end period, and we couldn't continue fighting charlatans and promoting skepticism in the public interest without such support.
And thanks to a generous JREF supporter who has pledged to match your donation dollar-for-dollar, your contribution right now will go twice as far—providing more free resources to educators to teach scientific skepticism, supporting more grassroots campaigns to fight charlatanry, and taking on more public figures and companies who promote dangerous nonsense!
But there are only hours left to join with Randi and the JREF in fighting for reason.
Beat the deadline, double your impact, and help us meet our funding goal today.
Thank you,
D.J. GrothePresident, James Randi Educational Foundation
Here is a rundown of the anomalous and credulous stories of the week courtesy of Doubtful News.
Strange news is a little light in the last two weeks of the year but there was no lack of interesting things to think about that came our of the media feed. We saw several curious natural phenomena explained.
There was a Christmas ice quake in the Toronto area. Cryoseisms are real things! Check it out.
What made those tiny picket fence and tower structures on trees in the Amazon? We sort of know now but don't know why…
Red rain deposited dust over south Texas spawning some very alien speculation. A meteorologist figures it out.

Forget Louisville, Kentucky, Kansas, and Ohio State. Another March Madness Tournament is taking place right here in the Borough with four local organizations battling it out for bragging rights and to fundraise for a local cause.
Following last year's success, the second annual March Madness Tournament will take place at the on Friday, March 30 and finish up on Saturday, March 31. The tournament is also a way for last year's teams to seek redemption.
"The same four teams that competed last year will be playing again this year," explained Councilman Kevin Kane. "Last year the Freehold Borough YMCA won the tournament."
The four teams competing this weekend include the Team (dressed in purple) the . team (dressed in grey), Lomurro Law Firm team (dressed in orange) and the team (dressed in black). Each team has a maximum of 15 players that are 21 years-old or older.
Competitiveness aside, money raised through teams and at the tournament will go towards the Freehold World Changers Project. The World Changers Project will send adults and children to Freehold for one week in the summer. During that time, workers will help make repairs to resident's homes that physically can not do the work or do not have the funds to make the repairs on their own. More information about the World Changers Project can be found by clicking here.
During the tournament, each game will have 20 minute halves, with the clock stopping for normal play within the last two minutes of each half. Two games will kick off the tournament tonight, followed by games starting on Saturday, March 31 at 11 a.m. Currently, the Championship game is scheduled to take place at 4 p.m. on Saturday. The winner of the tournament will be presented with the Mayor's Trophy after the Championship game. The complete tournament schedule can be seen below.
Date Time Teams
3/30 6:30 F.B.P.D. vs. Y.M.C.A.
3/30 7:45 Lomurro vs. Boro Hall
3/31 11:00 F.B.P.D. vs. Lomurro
3/31 12:15 Y.M.C.A. vs. Boro Hall
3/31 1:30 F.B.P.D. vs. Boro Hall

I've spent the better part of two hours writing a paper for my class. First, the class is History of Sports (I know, I know) and the paper asks me to reflect on a sports memory in my life that is important to me. Given the teams I root for it would have been really easy to pick a depressing moment and roll with it. But instead I chose an Indians victory in August 2001, Cleveland 15 Seattle 14. To me it might have been the most entertaining regular season game ever played.
Consider the names that lead the comeback: Jolbert Cabrera, Marty Cordova, Eddie Taubensee, Rich Rodriguez and John Rocker even got the win. It is almost surreal to think that a bunch of rag tags managed to not only beat a Mariner team that tied the best season record ever, but erase a 12-run deficit in doing so.
My question to you folks, do you have a favorite game? Not a season, not a series, not a play, but an actual game. Because I think I would take this game and night up against anything else I've ever experienced as a sports fan.
(Apologies in advance if this was an improper use of a FanPost)

- I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend! I didn't accomplish much of anything – a birthday party Friday night, church on Sunday, a picnic, and a little housecleaning pretty much sums up our activities. Smoochy was home, and we three just lazed around the house.
- I tried to make a red velvet cake Sunday and failed miserably! Smoochy lamented the fact that I don't make layer cakes anymore – he's right. So I asked him what he wanted, and got all the stuff together to make a red velvet cake. I'd never had or made one, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Let me tell ya – I knew the cake was red, but really, it was grosser looking when I added the food coloring than I was prepared for. Anyhoo, either the cake fell or it never rose. When I took my layers out of the oven, they probably weren't more than an inch thick. Smoochy said it tasted right, but was just too dense (duh!). Honestly – I thought it tasted pretty bad too. Not sure I'll try that one again – I am going to buy a new box of baking soda though. Usually my cakes are pretty good – don't know what happened with this one – any ideas?
- My child is steadily working towards her advanced degree in DIVA-ology. When we left the park yesterday, she kept wailing "but we can't go, we can't go, the people – they'll miss me." Whatever little girl, I think they'll be okay without you!!! The kid cracks me up :)
- T – I finally remembered to buy a box for the Baby Buttercreme – I am taking it to the post office tomorrow come heck or high water!
- I'm not eating any junk food this week. I've had terrible eating habits for the last few weeks – a combo of hormones and boredom i think. Anyhoo, I've got to get back on track, and there's no time like the present. I'm also headed back to the gym, haven't been in over a week – when I slip, I slip!
- Have I mentioned that I'm going to China in November?!?! Yeah, okay, I know I have. But I got excited all over again and thought I'd share.
- Not sure what I'm going to do about the computer issue – my brother is going to try and help me out. If that doesn't work . . . my heart is saying "A.pple," while my checkbook is saying "nuh-uh honey, think again." I'n not financing another thing, so whatever we end up with will be saved for and paid for in CASH.
- I'm trying to do better and only buy things we really need. So, this weekend I bought Lovegirl two pairs of much-needed capris (why are the shorts for little girls so short?? Is it just me?). And then I bought myself a pair of not-so-much-needed wide-legged trouser jeans. I'm not sure the logic that I'm buying now so that when the economy gets really bad/gas hits $10 a gallon/whatever we'll have what we need is sound, but the jeans – CUTE!
- Back to work I must go. Be well.
Month: May 2008
Whoo-hoo! I am so looking forward to this three day weekend. I may paint, I may picnic, I may take a road trip, I may veg out on the couch. Who knows? All I do know is that I plan on doing a major clean-a-thon this evening, and nothing else related to true housework for the remainer of the weekend.
- I can't believe they're making Callie gay on G.rays Anatomy! The show slipped a little for me early this season, but the last few weeks and last night's season finale? Good TV I tell ya! I'm so glad Meredith and Derrick are back together. I'm almost ashamed at how much I care about these fictional people . . . almost.
- I'm going to Lovegirl's school for the end-of-the year program in a few. She's been given a verse (John 3:16) and I can't wait to see how she does. She hammed it up at home practicing for the Christmas program, and then got on stage, refused to sing, mumbled, kept her eyes downcast, etc. I'm hoping that she fares better this morning – especially since she's got a solo bit!
- My home computer is dead. A virus wiped us out. The computer guy from work came out and worked on it, but all he was able to do was retinstall XP. I don't have any software, my iPod can't be reinstalled because our OS is old, etc., etc. I was going to wait until I found about school to even think about a new computer, but it looks like I may be forced to make a decision sooner than I'd anticipated. I'm thinking maybe a laptop this go-round. Any suggestions? Is anybody an A.pple user? I'm thinking of giving up the PC.
- Anyhoo, I actually need to get a little work done before I head to Lovegirls' school, so I'd better get out of here – I hope everyone has a wonderful Memorial Day weekend/holiday! Be safe. Be well.
Happy Anniversary, My Dear
Nine years strong!!!
Hold On . . . a Change Is Coming
If you've been reading this blog for any amount of time, perhaps you've picked up on the fact that I am NOT happy with my job. I am grateful to have one, but that's about it. The only thing that was making my gig slightly palatable was the fact that I was going to go back to school (for free, courtesy of the job) and get my PhD in Epidemiology. Then, due to low enrollment/graduation rates and a departmental upheaval of sorts, the PhD program was cancelled. So, here I've been. Working as a secretary, royally pissed about it, applying for job after job, with no relief in sight.
I prayed that God would please send me something. I couldn't/didn't get any more specific than that. At this point, I didn't even know what to ask for.
Today, I got to work and there is a new degree program scrolling through the announcements on the hospital's splashpage – a Master's – in Higher Education Administration, Student Services! I am so psyched. I was looking at the PhD in Higher Ed a while back, but couldn't figure out how to do it since it's in Oxford – nearly 3 hours away. So yep – I whooped when I saw the info this morning. I've called, talked to the program's director, found out that the program is a combination of online courses and video courses that'll be broadcast locally. AND if the program is successful, they're considering offering the PhD in Higher Ed Admin online in a few years.
Looks like Nerd Girl is headed back to the hallowed halls of higher learning y'all.
I Know How Weird This Is . . .
***Update: I've got a "winner." Congratulations – you know who you are!***
Here goes.
I won a tub of Ms. Jessie's Baby Buttercreme from Afrobella a few months ago. I was planning to use it to style Lovegirl's hair "out," and was really excited to have won. 1st problem – I don't think I really thought through the idea of styling a 3 year old's hair out on a regular basis. Pure ridiculousness! 2nd problem – I don't really like it. I've used it twice, and really, I prefer good old LIV that I can get at Sallys for $7. I was trying to be all natural and thangs, but this is just not the product for us. Maybe we'll try some Carol's Daughter products on her hair next.
Here's the weirdness – I'd love to pass this stuff on to someone who can/will use it. We've only used it twice, and only on freshly cleaned hair – there's no gross stuff floating around in it. Pinky swear. The stuff costs $58. We're not ever going to use it again, but it pains me to throw away $58 worth of product, no matter how unimpressed I was with it.
If you're not totally creeped out by this idea and want it – it's yours. First come, first served. Just email (email@example.com) me with your address and I'll eventually meander to the post office and send it your way. If you are totally creeped out by the idea of using barely-used, $58 a tub hair products . . .my bad!
Oh, if you're still reading, here's the link to the product.
That's Not Funny, So Why Am I Laughing?
Just wrong, on so many levels.
Some bar owner in Marietta, GA is selling "Obama in '08" tshirts. The problem? Aforementioned slogan appears under a picture of a C.urious George looking monkey!
And I cannot stop laughing. I hope this is either a case of laughing to keep from crying, or my being in the early stages on dementia and can no longer recognize when laughter is totally, and completely, inappropriate.
Sweet Almond Oil
Since y'all asked . . . the brand of sweet almond oil that I purchased is "H.eather L.oraine Cosmetics." It was about $4 for 4 ounces. Let me know if/how it works for you if you try it – good luck!!!
Randomness on a Tuesday Morning
4 Things I'm Feeling:
- Mexican food. I haven't had cravings this strong since I was pregnant with Lovegirl and I ate one chicken soft taco and one black bean taco every single day. Nope – I'm not preggers, just on a heckuva Mexican food binge.
- An.thony Bourdain. I may love this man. I don't know what it is about him, but I can't get enough. I've been watching No R.eservations like a mad woman – did not help that the episode I watched last night featured Mexican food!
- Sweet Almond Oil. I've been using this on my skin and hair. My eczema has definitely calmed down, and both my hair and scalp are better moisturized. Love it!
- M.orningstar Farms Southwestern Style Veggie Cakes. See #1 on this list.
3 Things I am Not Feeling:
1. High gas prices. Need I say more?
2. Nonsense violence. I suppose most violence is nonsense, but this weekend a young man was gunned down while driving on I-55. Police think it was a case of mistaken identity. Lord have mercy. When will we as a people wake up and stop this mess? It makes me tired.
3. The news. Until there is one good, decent thing reported, I'm not watching. Not quite sure how I'll know when that one, good decent thing is reported, but whatever.
2 Things I Really Want:
1. A new Ipod. There's nothing wrong with my old one – I will NOT spend unnecessarily, so this is just a dream.
2. A nap.
1 Thing I Will Do Today:
1. Go to the gym and add 5 minutes to my cardio workout. That's 40 minutes on the crosstrainer – and considering all the Mexican food I've been consuming, definitely a good thing!
A.merican Masters
My Wednesday nights are usually reserved for T.op Chef on the B.ravo network – I love that show.
Last night, I took a detour. I was flipping through the channels and PBS was doing a piece on M.arvin Gaye. I couldn't resist watching – singing and humming along to classics like "Stubborn Kind of Fella," "How Sweet It Is," and of course his wonderful duets with Tammi Terrell "You're All I Need To Get By," and "Your Precious Love." It's been a while since I'd listened to any of Marvin's music, and I was happy to take a musical birdwalk. I was also reminded of his tortured existence, and the documentary mentioned that he may have provoked his father to shoot and kill him, one day before his 45th birthday.
As enjoyable as I found the piece on Marvin, the real joy was to follow. The next episode spotlighted none other than "The Queen of Soul" herself – Ms. A.retha Franklin! Oh, I had a wonderful time last night, wailing along to some of my favorites from Ms. Franklin including "Do Right Woman, Do Right Man," "Chain of Fools," and "Natural Woman." That woman can sing! I don't know of anyone else who emotes as much as she does and wraps her audience in whatever she's feeling at the moment – be it heartache, joy, or getting her groove on a la "Rock Steady."
Of course, the documentary spoke of Ms. Franklin's past, and I was reminded of her colorful past as well – two children before she was 17, her various marriages, affairs, and her notorious diva-tude! Perhaps one has to be "colorful" to be a true musical genius. As I think of those I consider to be musical geniuses – M.arvin Gaye, A.retha Franklin, N.ina Simone, Prince – there is definitely some weight to that theory.
Anyhoo, I'm spending my work day listening to my new radio station on P.andora – A.retha Franklin of course! So far I've been treated to songs by the Queen herself, M.arvin Gaye, R.ay Charles, N.ina Simone and N.atalie Cole. Today, the lack of breadth and depth on the current musical scene won't bother me so much – I'll be enjoying some true golden oldies!
One of my favorites for your listening and viewing pleasure: "Don't Play That Song For Me."
Sometimes I have issues with my faith. Specifically lack thereof. I'll get down and think that God is working on everyone's behalf but mine. That I am already so richly blessed, I should not dare ask for "more."
When I said I was going to China, my brilliant plan was to use the "free" economic stimulus check to fund most of my trip. All I was going to have to save was airfare to CA and spending money.
Well, we did our taxes, and we owed. Between what we owed the state, and what we owed the feds, we owed the exact amount of the stimulus check.
I started feeling guilty, saying that I wouldn't have agreed to the trip if I'd known I was going to be using "hard earned money" to go – the money could be better spent paying down bills, in Lovegirl's savings account, etc. Told Smoochy that I didn't really want to use much of "our" money to go, and that I wasn't going to worry about it – if it was meant for me to go, a way would be worked out, and if not, I'd ask the travel folks to credit my brother's account with my non-refundable deposit if possible.
On Friday, I went to the mailbox. Between a refund check from K.ohl's that I'd forgotten about, a check from an old credit union account, one from the orthopedists Lovegirl saw early last year, and an overpayment of our escrow account – I have more than half of what I need.
He's working in my favor.

One of the big perks of the restructured TV contract for the Mountain West is ability to have some games broadcast on ESPN. The largest sports network has provided little coverage of Mountain West schools since they had no contract with them. That has changed with a large number of games now being broadcast on one of their variety of channels.
The big questions on the Cowboys schedule has been the road games at Air Force and Boise State. Both had been selected to be broadcast on an ESPN network but the exact channel and start time was left up in the air. ESPN will evaluate the performance of the teams and then decide which channel and time they want to show the game. This week one of those question marks was finally answered.
On Monday ESPN announced that the Wyoming at Air Force game will be broadcast on ESPNU with kick off set for 8:15 p.m. MST. Playing on ESPNU will offer up the opportunity to play on a network available in 65% of households. The late start time will be a drastic change for a team that is used to 1 p.m. starts.
Wyoming fans will have plenty of time to tailgate on Saturday. I'll be in Colorado that weekend and will be making the trip down to the Springs for the game. Let me know if you'll be down for the game as well.
As far as television goes there will only be a handful of goes on at the same time. Most college football fans will be watching Utah at BYU which will start at the same time. New Mexico State at UCLA and Idaho at Washington State both start fifteen minutes later. Those should both be blowouts and won't attract much attention outside of their fanbase, Hopefully the Cowboys can put on a show in front of a large audience.

text: so the Raiders officially released JaMarcus Russel today. Knowing mikey boy's affinity for picking up troubled yet filled with potential players, can he pass this up? Especially since the Bengals could really use a better backup QB. What does everyone else think about this? Is it something the team is likely to explore? Could we even get him on the cheap (I don't know exactly how it works when a player is released...would we be required to pick up his Oakland contract?)? If it is something that the team explores, and we can get him for cheap, is it something the fans would be behind? I mean, he can't be any worse than pacman, right?

A Senate committee has approved legislation to ban smoking on all state-supported colleges and universities.
The (Springfield) State Journal-Register reports the measure passed the higher education committee 7-5. It now moves to the full Senate.
The bill would ban smoking anywhere on a public university or community college campus effective July 1, 2014.
Kathy Drea is a spokeswoman for the American Lung Association in Illinois. She says the ban would promote a healthy learning environment for students, visitors and employees.
Sen. John Sullivan is a Democrat from Rushville who joined Republicans in voting no. They say smoking is legal and the bill goes too far.
Sen. Terry Link is the bill sponsor. The Waukegan Democrat says a ban may prevent people from starting smoking.

A few years ago I recorded this song (with my brother on drums). We made it up on the spur of the moment and my throat is still a little sore from yelling so much, but hey, it was worth it. I hope all of you enjoy the soothing sounds of my singing.
Big thanks go out to James Jouni for taking the time to work with me and create this music video for my song - "I Will Beat Pacman!" His artwork and animation really help drive home the deep message of this song.

A search continues for two men accused of severely stabbing a 19-year-old man at his home in Hempstead County, Arkansas. Their freedom has residents on edge.
Aaron and Tonya Griffee live in the Deann community and express concerns about what happened inside their neighbor's house.
On Monday, their 19-year-old neighbor, Timothy Arnett, returned home to find a strange vehicle in the back yard. He noticed the back door of the house was kicked open and, according to Hempstead deputies, Arnett went inside and confronted the two alleged burglars.
"During the scuffle with one of the perpetrators, he was stabbed by the other one," says Hempstead County Sheriff's Department Capt. Frank McJunkins.
McJunkins says that, after the stabbing, the two men left the house in a red Ford Ranger pickup truck. Arnett was taken to St. Michael's hospital in Texarkana for treatment.
McJunkins says he believes that this burglary is related to other burglaries in the area.
"Because that is generally what these bad buys do. They keep hitting places the same way in the same area until some pressure runs them off."
Deann resident Aaron Griffee says he is "concerned about being a possible victim" and about "the kids."
The Griffee family say they are going to make some adjustments in their rural lifestyle.
Griffee says his family will "keep the doors locked, keep an eye out, be a little more suspicious [about] who is driving by and what they are wanting."
Says McJunkins: "Hopefully, we can catch up with these guys pretty soon, because this is a real serious situation."
Deputies are looking for a red Ford Ranger pickup with Duck Head stickers in the back window.
If you have information about this crime, call your local police department.

Airdate: Monday, December 5th, 2011 (USA Network)
Location: The St. Petersburg Times Forum in Tampa, Florida
Results by Tony Acero of 411
"Yes, sir, we promised you a great main event…"
Lawler and Cole are behind the booth and we are in Tampa, FL. We start the show with that guy who is taller than Hate, John Cena!! The crowd is heavy with boos as he makes his way to the ring. The camera man shows plenty of kids in the crowd, nice touch. Cena laughs a bit before pointing out that last Monday was pretty interesting. He brings up The Pit and wants to take a second to thank Roddy, first for being a friend, for being a WWE Hall of Famer and for being a part of the WWE Universe. He points out how we tell him exactly how we feel about him and that's all Piper did last week. Did he want to hear those words? Absolutely! There is no show without all of the fans, it's pretty cut and dry; if we don't watch, they don't work, so we have earned the right to tell him what we think about who he is. He respects the boos, he loves the cheers. He says that we are so crazy that we've chanted such things as "Fruity Pebbles" which gets a smuttering of it. He says that's what makes wrestlers come out. The reactions are not new. He's not making a big deal out of it, but people are. Cena says the big deal last week was the slap...not Roddy's slap, no, the slap of the mat when CM Punk defeated Alberto Del Rio to retain the WWE Championship. Cena says Punk needs a Number 1 Contender....oh noooooo. He says the only thing bigger than Rock vs Cena is Rock vs Cena for the WWE Title. So CM Punk, if you're listening....
But here's Del RIo to interrupt. He wants Cena to stop right now. He says Cena isn't getting a title match, because the match is for him, Del Rio. It's his! Cena wants to know what part of You Lost doesn't Del Rio understand? Everyone saw it. Del Rio says that they don't matter, referring to the audience and us. He may be on to something. Last week, Johnny Ace said that if Punk got himself intentionally disqualified, Del Rio would be the new WWE Champ. Cena brings up that they lost. Del Rio wants to show us something though, and it's the end of the match form last week when he uses the turnbuckle to finish the match. Del Rio says that THIS is Punk cheating and did it on purpose. It's not Del RIo's fault that the ref didn't see it, it was illegal. He should be the NEW WWE Champion. Cena, that right there is inevit----
EXCUSE ME!!!! Vickie Guerrero and Dolph Ziggler are out. Vickie says that neither of the two in the ring deserve a WWE Championship match. She is standing with the only RAW Superstar who does deserve one: Dolph Ziggler. Dolph thinks that Cena and Del Rio disagree? Which one of them beat Randy Orton last week on RAW? Which one of them is the longest reigning champion in the WWE? Which one of them two has the most entertaining match....on purpose? hahaha. Cena says, well the answer is the caddy? The cheerleader? Oh, the SHOW OFF! He heard Cole say it 20 times last week. That's right, the Show Off. But Cena thinks that a better name would be to replace Show with Jerk. Ziggler says it's not showing off if you back it up every night. Cena says how can he claim to back it up every night when the one man who wants a shot and deserves it won't get it? Ziggler wonderes if beating a dead-horse is trending right now... Ziggler says that the next title shot is going to him
The Miz comes out with a scowl! REALLY?! REALLY?! Miz has some news, The Slammies are next week and you are looking at the man who beat John Cena at Mania, the man who's title reign was longer than a month and the man who doesn't need Vickie to get a reaction. If anyone gets a WWE Championship match with CM Punk, it's...
Johnny Laurinitis cuts The Miz off and introduces himself. He has been falsly accused as being a boring executive figure head, incapable of making creative decisions. He will shatter that now. Each of the four three men will go against a Smackdown Superstar of his choosing. Whomever wins will face CM Punk at TLC. We will also have a contract signing tonight as well. He says that Cena will be...

Trinamool MPs to pressure government for tax monotatorium
"The Trinamool MPs of both Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha will raise this issue of financial burden on Bengal. All the Trinamool MPs will raise their voice on the floor of parliament against this indifference and injustice towards Bengal...We want interest moratorium," Sukhendu Shekhar Roy, a Trinamool Member of Parliament (MP) said. The second half of parliament's budget session starts Tuesday.
Issuing the ultimatum to the central government Saturday, Banerjee had warned that its "indifferent attitude" could become a "big issue". Banerjee has also been insisting that since the new government has inherited this huge quantum of debt burden, the central government should find a way to waive these loans or settle the debt.
The Trinamool Congress with 19 members in the Lok Sabha and 6 members in the Rajya Sabha is the second largest constituent of the ruling United Progressive Alliance-II (UPA-II).
Currently, the relationship between the Congress and the Trinamool is going through a rough patch after the Trinamool openly opposed various policies of the central government.

European perch
|European perch
|Conservation status
|Scientific classification
|P. fluviatilis
|Binomial name
|Perca fluviatilis
Linnaeus, 1758
|Red = native range
Green = introduced range
Perca fluviatilis, commonly known as the European perch, perch, redfin perch or English perch, is a predatory species of perch found in Europe and northern Asia. The species is a popular quarry for anglers, and has been widely introduced beyond its native area, into Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. They have caused substantial damage to native fish populations in Australia and have been proclaimed a noxious species in New South Wales.[1]
European perch are greenish with red pelvic, anal and caudal fins. They have five to nine dark vertical bars on their sides.
European perch can vary greatly in size between bodies of water. They can live for up to 22 years, and older perch are often much larger than average; the maximum recorded length is 60 cm (24 in). The British record is 2.8 kg (6 lb 2 oz), but they grow larger in mainland Europe than in Britain. As at Aug 2012, the official all tackle world record, as recognised by the International Game Fish Association stands at 2.9 kg (6 lb 6 oz) for a Finnish fish.[2] In January 2010 a perch with a weight of 3.75 kg (8 lb 4 oz) has been caught in the River Meuse, Netherlands. Due to the low salinity levels of the Baltic Sea, especially around the Finnish archipelago and Bothnian Sea, many freshwater fish live and thrive there. Perch especially are in abundance and grow to a considerable size due to the diet of Baltic herring.
The perch spawns (in the Northern Hemisphere) at the end of April or beginning of May, depositing the eggs upon water plants, or the branches of trees or shrubs that have become immersed in the water; it does not come into condition again until July. The eggs have been known to stick to the legs of wading birds and then transferred to other waters where the birds visit.[citation needed]
The first scientific description of the river perch was made by Peter Artedi in 1730. He defined the basic morphological signs of this species after studying perch from Swedish lakes. Artedi described its features, counting the fin rays scales and vertebrae of the typical perch.
In 1758, Carl Linnaeus named it Perca fluviatilis.[3] His description was based on Artedi's research.
Baits for perch include minnows, goldfish, weather loaches, pieces of raw Squid or pieces of raw fish (Mackerel, Bluey, Jack mackerel, Sardine), or brandling, red, marsh, and lob worms, shrimp (Caridina, Neocaridina, Palaemon, Macrobrachium), peeled crayfish tails, and artificial lures. The tackle needed is fine but strong. Artificial lures are also effective, particularly for medium-sized perch.
Aquarium care[edit]
Keeping of perch requires a large tank and a suitable diet. The tank needs to be thickly planted with plants such as Elodea, Egeria, and others. Perch can be kept in ponds with other appropriate fish; as with most fish, larger ones may consume fry if they are available. A suitable diet is earthworm, flakes, silversides, and frozen foods such as blackworm. If fed properly, perch are less likely to feed on small fish. In the canal perch normally feed at the bottom of the current looking for any food worms/other smaller fish.
Relation to the yellow perch[edit]
Because of their similar appearance and ability to cross-breed, the yellow perch (Perca flavescens) has sometimes been classified as a subspecies of the European perch, in which case its trinomial name would be Perca fluviatilis flavescens.

Like many, I am a huge fan of Assassin's Creed. The games aren't perfect, but they are definitely a lot of fun to play (at least until they start to get repetitive).
Well, I have seen the Assassin's Creed franchise inspire some rather awesome cosplay, but in every case that I have seen, it has always been men dressing up as the protagonist. Well, it is time we change that with some great female Ezio Auditore da Firenze Assassin's Creed cosplay!
Unfortunately, I don't know who this rather cute girl is that is sporting this awesome Ezio Auditore da Firenze cosplay, but the person that took this great picture was Leonard Jinto. If anybody knows who this awesome cosplayer is, let us know in the comments!

Can new smartphones rekindle the BlackBerry fire?
RIM hopes to translate positive pre-launch buzz into sales of its Z10 and X10 smartphones Wednesday
Computerworld - "Not dead yet" could well be the new BlackBerry marketing theme, as the world prepares to hear about two new BlackBerry 10 smartphones to be announced next Wednesday.
Days before the announcement, there is fairly wide disagreement among analysts and developers over whether Research In Motion can stop the dramatic decline of its BlackBerry phones. The BlackBerry was the market leader until the iPhone was introduced in 2007 and Android phones after that. Its market share fell to 10% in 2010 and has dwindled to 5% today.
In advance of the event, specifications and photos have been widely leaked of the new touchscreen and qwerty-keyboard versions of BlackBerry smartphones, but RIM hasn't confirmed many of the details.
According to unconfirmed reports, the touchscreen version, dubbed the Z10, will have a 4.2-in. display, 1,280x768 resolution and 16GB of internal storage. It will also include a Snapdragon processor, an 8-megapixel rear camera and Near-Field Communications technology (useful for mobile payments). Moreover, the models available from Verizon Wireless will be able to run on 4G LTE cellular networks.
Less is known about the smaller qwerty version, known as the X10. With this model, RIM is acknowledging its loyal following of users, among 80 million overall globally, who prefer a physical keyboard.
RIM officials confirmed that thousands of prerelease BlackBerry 10 devices have been tested by corporations, which have been the mainstay of the company's customer base, even as BlackBerry's global market share has dwindled to 5%, according to Gartner. Meanwhile Android has captured 65% of the global smartphone market and the iPhone has about 21%.
Analysts who have tried the devices offered some promising predictions. "The new BB10 offers the best [user experience] on the market -- not perfect, but certainly a rival to the iPhone 5, with even greater performance," said Gartner analyst Phillip Redman in a blog post this week entitled "RIM begins its comeback year with BES 10 launch."
In an interview, Redman said that BB10 devices won't surpass Apple or Android devices, but, he added, "I think they will beat Windows Phone." Moreover, he predicted that RIM will "market this like nothing before, [with] much of the future of the company depending on the launch."
In contrast, Citigroup financial analyst Jim Suva reminded clients in a note that the pre-announcement optimism for BlackBerry 10 devices is not necessarily an indicator of how well the phones will sell.
"We remind investors that actual sell-through matters to determine the true financial impact that the new OS and hardware will have on the company's financials, especially in an increasingly competitive environment," Suva said.
Michael Mullany, CEO of Sencha, a company that is an HTML5 development partner of RIM on the BlackBerry 10 platform, remains optimistic. "We think BB 10 has a good shot at re-igniting RIM sales," he said.
In an interview, Mullany said the prerelease Z10 touchscreen model that developers have been testing offers "incredible performance for the browser inside -- it will be a market leader for HTML5."
RIM also said it has seen heavy developer interest in building apps for BlackBerry 10, with 15,000 apps published in the BlackBerry World app store in two days.
Previous browsers in BlackBerry smartphones have been a sore spot for RIM, and Mullany remarked that the BlackBerry Torch smartphone, which was released two years ago was a disappointment. "When we got the Torch," he recalled, "we scratched our heads and said, 'Are they serious?'"
But Mullany also said that RIM has not "irreparably harmed itself," because mobile consumers "have very short memories." He said the Z10 has impressive speeds for scrolling content and responds quickly to touches.
Mullany said he's not privy to RIM's plans to market the Z10 or X10, but he noted that RIM has faced difficulties in the past in trying to attract consumers to BlackBerry devices after years of serving the needs of working professionals and enterprise IT shops.
In recent years, RIM relied on rock star Bono and the hip-hop group Black Eyed Peas to promote the BlackBerry brand among consumers. But even stellar marketing could not correct a problematic product like the Torch.
"I feel this [Z10] is a very robust consumer device," Mullany said. "It's not a business-only device for sure. It will do well in the consumer and prosumer market."

LAS VEGAS -- The shooting death of Florida teen, Trayvon Martin, has led to what hundreds are calling the Rally For Justice, here in Las Vegas. The rally took place near Colorado Avenue and Third Street in downtown Sunday afternoon.
Martin was gunned down in February by a neighborhood watch captain, who says he shot him in self defense last month.
This case has gotten nationwide attention, even President Obama spoke about it earlier this week. People in Las Vegas say this shooting could have happened anywhere.
People showed up holding signs and wearing hoodies to show their support for 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.
"I just want to accomplish awareness for the local community," said Bobbie Mullins, who owns the property where the rally took place.
Rachelle Luster organized the rally and was able to get this turnout with just two days notice because many people can relate to his story.
"We are local people, we are local citizens just like Trayvon was. It could have happened to any of our family members. So I think that us collectively as a community should stand."
Mullins says she is blown away by the turnout. She says nearly 400 people showed up and many people wear wearing hoodies just like Trayvon had been when he was shot and killed.
Event supporter, Nolo Galindo said, "I think that as people of color we do feel the racism and we can identify with that and that's why we are here."
Nolo says he believes race played a big part in the shooting. But others, including Mullins, says, regardless of why it happened, she thinks rallies like this one will go a long way in raising awareness to racial issues in our community.
People at the rally said they will be watching this case very closely.
Sanford Florida Police are still investigating the shooting.
