I think Cotto presents a tougher fight for Floyd than Pacman does....its been talked about in other threads but I think it deserves its own. I know Floyd has said hes not interested in titles...and it sounds like Manny would be chopping up Cheato for a vacant belt....thus cheating history again by winning another belt at a bullshit catchweight...BUT...the whole thing could go better. Forget the vacant belt for Crackman and Cheato.....Mayweather beats Cotto in a much more competetive fight and Manny is forced to fight the best at the full 154 to get his 8th title.
Mayweather-Cotto...style v.s. style...would be Floyds toughest fight since DLH. Cottos jab and body attack along with a solid gameplan from a hall of fame trainer would definitely have Floyd on the defensive. I know the arguement people will have with this fight....Cotto is too flat-footed...Cotto is past it...blah blah blah. Whats the alternative? I have always said a Mayweather-Pacquiao fight would be a let down once all the hype is over with with Floyd adjusting to his speed and knocking him out in 9 rounds or under. IMO Cotto isnt past it...hes lost to 2 cheaters....he is more nimble on his feet than people give him credit for and his speed has always been under rated.
In the end Pacman will chop up Cheato or beat Cotto again and win a bullshit catchweight title fight while Mayweather kicks back and they will probably fight next year....but I say why not Mayweather v.s. Cotto?

Sylvester- Worth County Middle School students dedicate a new outdoor classroom.
Now it will always be a special place for the Giddens family, because it's being named after their son Adam.
"This outdoor classroom and environment recognizes that spirit that he had and the energy he put into it," said Terry Giddens, Adam's mother.
He lost a long battle with cancer in August, the day after school started. Adam was diagnosed with osteo sarcoma, a bone cancer, when he was eight years old.
When he wasn't sick, he spent many of his middle school days working on the Blackberry Trail Creek Bridge. "This is an area of study, just like the trail is an area of study, and I felt like we needed a way to distinguish it," said Carmen Faulkner, a teacher at the middle school.
So, after the idea was thought up by a student, this nature laboratory became known as Adam's Terrace. "He was friends with, like, everybody," said Robert Sword, the eighth grader who came up with the idea. "Since he helped out, it just seems like it's the right thing to do."
"He worked in the gifted program," Faulkner said. "And he helped build that bridge."
Adam loved the outdoors and everything nature had to offer.
"My sons bring home every animal under the sun," Giddens said. "I never know what they're going to bring home. He was the same way. He'd come home and there'd be worms in his pockets."
And these Worth County students are making sure Adam's love of the outdoors will be a learning spot that lives on forever.

In an incredibly close vote, Brad Van Pelt has defeated Carl Banks in the balloting for the second outside linebacker position on our Big Blue View All-Time Giants Team.
The final tally was 52-50. It was amazing to watch as the vote unfolded. Banks led all week -- in fact I had to re-write this post because as of Thursday afternoon he was far enough ahead that I thought he was going to win comfortably. The Van Pelt voters rushed to the poll last night, though.
To be honest, I am thrilled with the results of that vote. I think it showed a little respect for the accomplishments of a player many current Giants' fans never saw play.
Let's move on to cornerback as we continue the voting for our Big Blue View All-Time Giants Team.
I feel very, very strongly that Emlen Tunnell belongs on this team. He is in the Hall of Fame (the only Giants' CB so honored) and holds the team's all-time interception record. Tunnell was also named All-NFL four times and played in nine Pro Bowls.
So, as I did with Lawrence Taylor, I am simply putting Tunnell on the team. You guys get to choose the second cornerback.
This is an interesting vote, and in now way do I see a clear-cut choice for the remaining spot.
Here are your nominees:
• Dick Lynch
• Mark Haynes
• Erich Barnes
I did not put Jason Sehorn on this list. I know darn well that if i did the younger BBV'ers would vote for him, and he simply does not deserve to be on this team. Don't get offended. Go look at the careers of the four guys listed. There is no way you can tell me Sehorn is better than any of those guys. Sehorn was never voted to a Pro Bowl or named All-Pro. Same with Mark Collins -- another guy some of you might be tempted to vote for.
So, for this one you guys are going to have to do a little work and brush up on your history. A little background on these guys.
Lynch -- In Giants' history, Lynch is much more than a color commentator on radio broadcast. He played for nine years, eight with the Giants, and intercepted 37 passes. He was named All-Pro one time.
Barnes -- Totaled 45 interceptions in a 14-year career ... only spent four years with the Giants, but intercepted 19 passes during that time ... Appeared in six Pro Bowls and was named All-Pro once.
Haynes -- Made three Pro Bowls and was named All Pro twice in a 10-year career. ... spent his first six seasons as a Giant.
Big Blue View All-Time Giants Team
Punter -- Sean Landeta
Placekicker -- Matt Bahr
Defensive End -- Michael Strahan
Defensive End -- Leonard Marshall
Defensive Tackle -- Roosevelt Grier
Middle Linebacker -- Harry Carson
Middle Linebacker -- Sam Huff
Outside Linebacker -- Lawrence Taylor
Outside Linebacker -- Brad Van Pelt
Cornerback -- Emlen Tunnell

An estimated 2 billion people, one third of the global population, are infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacterium that causes tuberculosis. Spread through the air, this infectious disease killed 1.7 million in 2009, and is the leading killer of people with HIV. Tuberculosis (TB) is also a disease of poverty--the vast majority of tuberculosis deaths occur in the developing world. Exacerbating the devastation caused by TB is the growing threat of drug-resistant forms of the disease in many parts of the world.
Drug-resistant tuberculosis presents a number of significant challenges in terms of controlling its spread, diagnosing patients quickly and accurately, and using drugs to treat patients effectively. In Russia in recent decades, the rise of these strains of TB, resistant to standard antibiotic treatment, has been exacerbated by the occurrence of social, political, and economic upheavals. The Institute of Medicine (IOM) Forum on Drug Discovery, Development, and Translation, in conjunction with the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences held a workshop to discuss ways to fight the growing threat of drug-resistant TB. The New Profile of Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis in Russia: A Global and Local Perspective: Summary of a Joint Workshop presents information from experts on the nature of this threat and how it can be addressed by exploring various treatment and diagnostic options.

Well, if the Niners aren't in the playoff picture, I always root for the best team in the NFC. This year, that's the Packers. The Bears were lucky enough to surprise some teams but lacked consistency and the Falcons haven't learned what level it takes to win in the playoffs yet but the Packers have paid their dues in recent playoffs, had some good drafts and are playing some very entertaining football on both sides of the ball. I'll be rooting for you in Texas. What is that stupid towel-waving about anyway?
I have it on good authority, that the Tasmanian Devil from Looney Toons has reincarnated into the body of Clay Mathews. Makes me wonder what the Raiders were doing with Charles Woodson when he can perform at the level he's at now. I've also noticed how every team that runs the 3-4 is comparing their coordinator to Dom Capers. As far as Aaron Rodgers is concerned, Brett who? (Or, as we call him over at Niner Nation "He who shall not be named").
Before I forget, why haven't we heard from the league about a fine for Pepper's hit on Rodgers yet? It's not like they had a lot of games to review or everyone in the country didn't see it.
Win one for the NFC!
PS: We still have not forgiven you for outbidding us for Reggie White and bribing Mike Holmgren and Mike Montgomery away from our staff. We are currently reinventing ourselves but plan to revisit "The Good Olde Days" with past rivals in a year or so. Until then….

The Importance of English in the World of Globalization
June 23, 2011
The Importance of English in the World of Globalization was the subject of a presentation given today to English language students at the Universidad de Oriente (UNO).
The main point of the presentation was that English will be the global language of the future closely followed by Spanish. Languages such as Chinese, Hindi, Arabic and Swahili will have strong local and regional importance, but English and Spanish will have world-wide importance. English will remain the de facto lengua franca of international business,
aviation, entertainment, diplomacy, communications, medicine and science.
The point was strongly made that, with a good working knowledge of both English and Spanish, the students had numerous career opportunities locally, regionally and globally. They, in fact, held the world in their hands.

Swept! Windies complete sweep with 5-wicket win over Kiwis
IN the end, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Kemar Roach and Narsingh Deonarine made a potentially nervy run chase look very easy.
They needed just an hour and 20 minutes on yesterday's fourth day to knock off the 71 runs needed and hand West Indies a five-wicket victory over New Zealand in the second Digicel Test at Sabina Park.
On a pitch that was fair to batsmen and bowlers, the game ended with a day and three-quarters to spare reflecting poor batting, particularly by New Zealand.
Scores: New Zealand 260 and 154; West Indies 209 and 206-5.
The triumph — completed in gusty conditions presumably triggered by Tropical Storm Ernesto passing south of
Jamaica — meant West Indies swept the two Test series 2-0 following a nine-wicket win in the first Test in Antigua a week ago.
It's the first Test series win by West Indies over New Zealand since 1996 and the first in the Caribbean against any opposition since 2009.
Yesterday's victory was also the first for the West Indies in a Test match at Sabina since 2009 when Chris Gayle's team shocked England by an innings. Crucially, this triumph at Sabina came as Jamaica celebrates the 50th anniversary of political Independence from Britain.
"This was for Jamaica," Man of the Match Marlon Samuels who scored a brilliant first innings 123 and a half century in the second innings, told television interviewer Ian Bishop at game's end.
It's evidence of the prolonged slump in the fortunes of the West Indies team, that the just ended series represents the biggest margin of victory for the West Indies since a 2-0 sweep of Bangladesh in that country in 2000. In the Caribbean we have to go back to 2000 when West Indies defeated Zimbabwe 2-0. Play started yesterday with everyone aware that while the West Indies needed just 71 runs with six wickets in hand to get to the winning target of 206, run chases have proven notoriously difficult at Sabina Park in the past.
In fact, 212-3 by West Indies against Sri Lanka in 2003 is the highest Test match run chase there.
Before a small, nervous gathering Chanderpaul not out 20 from overnight, and nightwatchman Roach 10 set out with an obvious plan for the former to be the glue and for the latter to attack. Roach named Man of the Series for his 12 wickets and no doubt, also for his final-morning effort with the bat, said as much in the post match television interview.
"The plan was for me to be positive and take the pressure off Chanderpaul," said Roach.
The plan worked to perfection.
Barbadian Roach, who scored a hundred in Jamaican club and parish cricket, a few years ago showed why many believe he has the potential to become a genuine all-rounder by repeatedly stepping forward to drive the New Zealand fast bowlers through the field and over the top.
By the time he fell, 55 minutes into the morning's play, caught at backward point as he sliced an attempted drive against the part-time off spin of Kane Williamson, Roach had stroked 41 off 60 balls, hitting four fours. By then only 23 runs were needed for the West Indies win.
Chanderpaul, unhurried and composed, had the honour of getting the winning run, chopping Williamson to third man.
By then the no-nonsense Narsingh Deonarine — who had a fine game as a bowler taking six wickets with his off spin — had gathered 15 from 27 balls.
West Indies captain Darren Sammy said the series win was satisfying after some tough times over "the last year or two" and had set up the West Indies nicely for the T20 World Cup next month in Sri Lanka.
He praised his team for seizing the "key moments" in the series and for the fact that "different persons" made significant contributions at "different times".
After losing the T20 and ODI series earlier, New Zealand captain Ross Taylor described the Caribbean tour as disappointing "all round".
"We were beaten by a better team at the end of the day," he said. Taylor said his side's batting had let them down "very badly", not least in this final Test when New Zealand lost all their second innings wickets for 99 runs to hand West Indies the advantage on the third day.
His team's failure to register an individual century in the two-Test series was evidence of how poor they had been as a batting side, he said. "To score hundreds you need to bat for four hours, we were only batting for two, two and a half hours," he said.

RICHMOND (WRIC) - This winter a lot of asthma patients in Richmond are having more problems.
Richmond has been the asthma capital of the country for a few years now due to poor air quality, a high pollen count and other factors. When you add another common trigger to the mix -- cold temperatures -- it can wreak havoc on patients, like Diane McClure.
"I check the temperature every morning when I get up to see what the temperature is outside and I don't go outside and when I have to I put a scarf over my mouth," she says.
Dr. Jamie Hey with Pulmonary Associates of Richmond hears more complaints this time of year.
"We see definitely an uptick in the patient visits for asthma in the winter both in the hospital and the office."
A lot of people struggle with the bitter air. The high incidence of the cold and flu can also mean a visit to the ER.
"When an asthma patient gets it, it can make their asthma worse."
Dr. Hey says it's important that patients use their inhalers -- both control and rescue medications when needed.
Richmond's dealt with one extreme high and low after another this winter and McClure can't wait for the weather to truly break.
"You just don't know. You don't know when you get up in the morning what it's going to be like and whether you're going to be able to go outside."
Dr. Hey shared some of the best lines of defense for asthma patients.
They're the same as what you should be doing to fight off a cold or flu virus - good hand washing, the flu shot and staying away from people with respiratory illnesses.

It's up to the players to regroup and salvage FSU's season of family discord
Some interesting views on the situation. Here are a couple of examples; "A family in turmoil stands together under fire. They held on tightly Saturday night, when Coach Bobby Bowden and his players walked out of a tunnel at Doak Campbell Stadium, arms linked as they embraced the cheers of the home crowd. The solidarity of Bowden and the Florida State Seminoles football team is admirable. The question remains, how long can they keep it together, arm-in-arm, before disgruntled factions try to break free?" And "Most of the blame for this dysfunctional chaos deservedly rests with the administration — which signed off on this ambiguous state of affairs regarding the timetable of Bowden's departure, coupled with Bowden's own selfish agenda — but there's another share of blame to go around. The players. No matter how screwy things are in the locker room, no matter how many voices are screaming in their ears, no matter how much noise is coming at them from the media and disgruntled fans, the Seminoles ultimately decide who wins and who loses every weekend. No question these are horrible circumstances under which to try to hang on to your competitive spirit. Imagine two parents who are always screaming at each other, and kids hearing that bickering every day. At some point they just want to cup their hands over their ears and scream: "Enough! Stop it already!" No doubt "parents" are arguing at FSU, despite the denials. Who is the head of the household? Bowden? Coach-in-waiting Jimbo Fisher? Longtime defensive coordinator Mickey Andrews?"

A great area that contains a stunning amount of rock in a large glaciated valley. Beautiful backdrop while climbing on quality, juggy granite. Some rock quality is impeccable, but there is a fair share of loose holds/rocks. Routes range between 500' to 2000' tall. A large area encompassing some beautiful climbs and copious amounts of alpine rock if you do not mind a bit of an approach.
Getting There
Drive north out of Bayfield to Vallecito Lake on CR 501. At the north end of the lake, veer right on CR 501 as it contiunues around the backside of the lake. This turns into FR 602-take this until you are at the Pine River Trailhead.

Mundy......Reese never met a special teamer he didn't like.
Losers assemble in little groups and complain about the coaches and the players in other little groups, but winners assemble as a team,
- Emlen Tunnell
I don't see your vision.. not with the way the OL & LBs are shaping up
safety is another position like CB where the drop off in talent between the 1st and 3rd isnt that large. Lots of depth at that position.

He's a projected 2nd round pick, closer to the Giants side of the 2nd round also. The Giants never reach on anybody no matter how desperately they need that position. They always go with the best player available.
Rather Matthieu, Elam is good, but can he contribute on Special teams PR/KR..gunner..Hear what Deion had to say on the honeybadger..well if prime time trusts him, so do i.
Elam @ 19!! JR would never get over it!!! Never happen!
Elam is a heck of a player, but only if were to trade down for extra picks.. To many good Safetys where u don't need to go get one that early in RD1

Despite the NHL currently being involved in an ongoing lockout, the International Ice Hockey Federation fully expects for NHL players to be in Sochi for the 2014 Winter Olympics.
Per the Canadian Press, IIHF President Rene Fasel says that the federation has prepared for the games with the NHL players in mind.
"We've prepared everything with the idea that NHL players will be there," said Fasel. "We've decided about the format and expect them to be there."
NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman has not committed to altering the NHL season to accommodate for the Olympics, which essentially shuts the league down for two weeks in the middle of the season. There are injury concerns and travel concerns for the players involved, and the league has stated in the past they are wary of allowing NHL players to participate in the future.
The 2010 Winter Olympics, held in Vancouver, appeared to be a major success in actually exposing hockey to a wider audience. The 2014 Olympics, however, will be held in Russia and most games will occur at times not ideal for a North American audience.
The IIHF, meanwhile, says the tournament will take place whether the NHL players participate or not.

Christian Brando — A Hollywood Family Tragedy
Tarita Cheyenne Brando was 11 years younger than her half-brother Christian and lived a sheltered, protected life. She was alternatively described as being "a wounded bird" and an extroverted egotist.
"Nobody dared tell her anything because she was Cheyenne Brando," said former classmate Nathalie Degage. Cheyenne used to boast, "I am the most beautiful girl in Polynesia, the most intelligent and also the richest because of my father."
She was beautiful, she was rich and friends also said she was quite intelligent. She could talk about art, natural science and dance with equal aplomb. Friends remember her as an energetic dynamo who loved horseback riding and dancing.
But no amount of Hollywood power or wealth could protect Cheyenne from her family history of alcoholism and mental illness. While most of Brando's ten other children have managed to escape the family demons, Cheyenne did not. Bouts with alcoholism and drug addiction plagued her teen years, and she became even more dependent on drugs after a serious automobile accident scarred her face and ended a promising modeling career.
She blamed her father for the accident, and in part he was at fault, but certainly not to the level she believed. Marlon was in Toronto in 1989 filming The Freshman with Matthew Broderick when Cheyenne phoned from Tahiti asking for permission to visit him. When Brando refused, Cheyenne, apoplectic with rage, jumped into her boyfriend's jeep and sped off the family's Polynesian compound. Traveling at speeds near 100 mph, the Jeep failed to negotiate a turn and crashed. The accident left her disfigured: her jaw was broken, part of an ear was torn away and she was scarred on her cheek. Plastic surgery managed to restore much of her good looks, but not her mental health, and as she aged her fragile mental state deteriorated even further.
It was while she was recovering from her reconstructive surgery that Cheyenne became pregnant by her longtime boyfriend, Dag Drollet, the son of a prominent Tahitian family. Drollet stood by Cheyenne during her fights with depression, schizophrenia and chemical abuse. They had lived together for more than a year before Cheyenne's accident, but friends said Dag was losing patience with Cheyenne's inability or unwillingness to give up the drugs. His relatives warned him to leave the "unhappy Brando family."
"Dag, stop this life with Cheyenne because she's not balanced," his father recalls telling his son in a prescient conversation shortly before Dag was killed. "You will have great difficulties — perhaps suicide, perhaps she can kill you, or you can die, both of you, because of her."
Tragically, Drollet failed to heed his father's advice and paid with his life.

.- Bishop John Smith of Trenton and U.S. House Representative Chris Smith are two of the headliners at this year's Catholic Men for Jesus Rally in New Jersey.
This is the 10th annual rally, aimed at inspiring Catholic men to proclaim, live and defend their faith.
It will be held at St. Veronica School Gym in Howell, N.J., located in the Diocese of Trenton, from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.
For the 10th year, Bishop Smith will celebrate and preach at the closing mass. Other speakers, in addition to Chris Smith, include Joe Burke, president of Paraclete Enterprises and famed pilot who broke the sound barrier flying the F- 14, and Ed and Eddie Reinhardt, a father-and-son team from Colorado who will discuss the importance of marriage, family and forgiveness.
"We are encouraging all fathers, sons, and grandfathers to show that Catholic men will stand up and be counted," said organizer Jim Manhardt.

NEWARK, Oct 17 2003
WHAT: "The Yankees have a 72.5% chance to beat the Marlins in the World Series, according to Bruce Bukiet. " It would be fishy if the Marlins were to win," Bukiet quips, "since the Yankees are overall a better team, with superior hitting and pitching. The Yankees are favored to win all but one game in the series, and even in that game the teams are statistically even."
WHO: Bruce Bukiet, Ph.D., an associate professor of mathematical sciences at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), has an expertise in numerical methods and mathematical modeling.
WHEN: Bukiet is available to illustrate his mathematical model or to discuss it over the phone with reporters during weekdays.
WHERE: He's available for interview either at his office at 518 Cullimore Hall or by phone: (973) 596-8392. His email address is firstname.lastname@example.com. His website is m.njit.edu/~bukiet/baseball/playoff03.html.
BACKGROUND: Bukiet has discussed his baseball model on CNN Headline News. He's also been interviewed by CBC radio featured in the Jerusalem Post, the National Post (Canada) and other publications.
NJIT, New Jersey's science and technology university, enrolls approximately 10,000 students pursuing bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees in 120 programs. The university consists of six colleges: Newark College of Engineering, College of Architecture and Design, College of Science and Liberal Arts, School of Management, College of Computing Sciences and Albert Dorman Honors College. U.S. News & World Report's 2012 Annual Guide to America's Best Colleges ranked NJIT in the top tier of national research universities. NJIT is internationally recognized for being at the edge in knowledge in architecture, applied mathematics, wireless communications and networking, solar physics, advanced engineered particulate materials, nanotechnology, neural engineering and e-learning. Many courses and certificate programs, as well as graduate degrees, are available online through the Division of Continuing Professional Education.

Ellen Enchanted
The Loves of Ellen's Life
When, I ask her, did she feel her most beautiful? "The day I got married," she says unhesitatingly. I see her eyes go red and watery, and I panic...I made Ellen DeGeneres cry! "Excuse me," she says, and runs off, while the animals look at me accusingly. I'm pretty sure George the Love Cat is going to bite my leg. "You're worse than Barbara Walters!" she says when she returns, blowing her nose. Well, in that case, I ask her what kind of a tree she would be if she were a tree. "A weeping willow," she shoots back. "It's just very emotional," DeGeneres continues. "You find the person you love, you think you've come this far...and anyway, I never thought I'd have a wedding, and I did, and it meant more than I imagined."
DeGeneres and de Rossi had known each other for years but were in relationships. After one evening together they both just knew, and quickly moved in together.
A few minutes later the object of Ellen's affection emerges from inside the house: de Rossi, the lithe Australian beauty who will soon be costarring in the quirky new TV show Better Off Ted and possibly working on the movie version of Arrested Development. She is barefoot and wearing a blinged-out T-shirt that reads "I LOVE MY WIFE," a wedding gift from the singer Missy Elliot. She is also nursing an elaborately bandaged finger. I ask which of the two women is more domestic. "Well, I sliced this finger cutting vegetables to put into a salad," she says cheerfully. "Then I really cut it afterwards, washing the knife. So I guess I'm not so domestic. But I try."
DeGeneres watches de Rossi with a mixture of bemusement, adoration, and pride. It's the look of Spencer Tracy for Katharine Hepburn, Barack Obama for Michelle...the look each and every one of us would kill to inspire in our spouse. I finally think to ask them what their biggest domestic squabble is. Their brows both furrow as they contemplate the utter absurdity of having complaints about each other. These two really haven't been married long enough.
"Well!" says de Rossi, anxious to help, "I do leave half-finished beverages everywhere. I usually have three cups of tea going at once. I'm Australian. That's just what we do. And anyway, I was going to thank her, in our vows, for picking up all the glasses -- and say that she'd have to do that for the rest of her life. She took that on. But she's very good about it." They give each other That Look, and now I'm envious and bitter, hoping to come back in 10 years when they're bickering about whose turn it is to pick the hairball off the sofa.
My reverie is interrupted when de Rossi has to run to take a business call -- she's developing a line of vegan (nonleather) shoes that are stylish. Exit, wife; enter, Betty, DeGeneres' mom. She is toting an ancient Chihuahua as if it's a wee fashionable purse. She lives in a separate house on the estate, as does DeGeneres' older brother, Vance, who co-runs Steve Carell's production company. Some people like having their family near them; Ellen really, really likes it. The spirited DeGeneres matriarch, who has taken Ellen's gentle ribbing for years, is as deeply affected by Proposition 8 as her daughter is. But I don't want to ask her about it -- I'm terrified there will be more tears -- so we talk, instead, about Ellen, the little girl who carted around a Baby Dear doll everywhere, who rescued strays, who was Betty's "rock" when she had breast cancer. But the comedian isn't so sure she wants her mom participating. "She won't remember anything," Ellen says. "She'll make things up."

Mix horror, thriller, melodrama and Pedro Almodóvar and what do you get? Well, it's hard to summarize into a single word or phrase, but the result is "The Skin I Live In," the legendary director's brave step into a bold new direction.
A new trailer has landed for the film and while it's largely similar to those you have seen already (there seem to be a couple of new scenes) it does add some text to at least put the thematic elements of the story into some kind of context. Starring Antonio Banderas, Elena Anaya and Marisa Paredes and based on Thierry Jonquet's novel "Mygale," the film is a revenge tale that tells the story of a plastic surgeon (Banderas) on the hunt for the men who raped his daughter. But that's just a simple logline for a film that clearly goes into some weird, twisted places. It premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May where the response was mixed but still quite curious and intrigued, and we have to admit, no matter how well or poorly the film was received, we'd be tracking this down anyway. We're pretty fascinated to see what Almodóvar has pulled together here.
The film will hit TIFF and NYFF before opening in limited release and platforming out on October 14th. Check out the new trailer and poster below. [Yahoo]
Mr Anonymous | August 30, 2011 12:45 PM
Already seen this in the UK. Movie was fucking brilliant, fucked up and twisted but brilliant. Really, really liked it! And it's the first Almodovar movie i've ever seen and i've seen nothing like it before!
There's twist about halfway through but i'm not going to give it away.
Expect fancy cars, blood, murder, sex, nudity and a very emotional ending. The lead actress is amazing!
SveN | August 30, 2011 7:30 AM
The movie has already been released in my country. It is very good, but it is certainly NOT a step in a new direction: it contains a lot of typical Almodovar-elements and feels very familiar.

Content of Book Review
I believe it is "Dutchman" not "The Dutchman" (and yes, it does matter). The woman character is Lula, not Lulu. I have the play so I don't think there would be a typo in a published and printed work compared to an online source.

Last Friday at Tachi Palace Fights 11 in Lemoore, California, NCAA Division I champion Jesse 'Bubba' Jenkins successfully made his highly anticipated MMA debut at 155lbs. Jenkins needed just a couple of minutes to defeat fellow Lightweight rookie Josh Williams, forcing a tap from strikes with 58 seconds left in a 3 minute first round.
A self-proclaimed proponent of Lay'n'Slay, Jenkins didn't take long to score an impressive single leg pick up takedown near the beginning of the fight, though things got a bit dicey as Williams tried to capitalize on Jenkins' exposed neck, hanging on from the slam attempt and trying to work a guillotine choke from guard. Williams was able to take the back of Jenkins who powered his way back to his feet and spectacularly flipped over to try and shake Williams free. Williams managed to stay on and Jenkins easily stood again until he worked his way free and ended up on top.
Jenkins transitioned to a high mount and tried to land some Ground'n'Pound forcing Williams to turn and try to scramble only for Jenkins to ride the scramble out, maintain control of the back and work both his hooks in before flattening Williams out with a rear stretcher. Able to stay heavy, Jenkins worked punches to the head of Williams who eventually conceded defeat when it became clear he had no way out.
Jenkins fights out of American Top Team and represents his hometown of Virgina Beach, Virginia, having won his NCAA Wrestling title for Arizona State University and previously wrestled for Penn State.

"… the advent of fast, inexpensive, digital chips made real-time possible, and equally important, made it affordable."
Electronic & computer musicians, raise your glasses in tribute to a trail-blazer who passed away at the age of 84 yesterday. Max Mathews wasn't the first to play computer-generated music, but he wrote plenty of programs and built a lot of interfaces and devices like the Radio Baton, a forerunner of the Wii and the Arduino, to get us to this point.
He programmed the accompaniment to the song "Daisy Bell" for the first computer-synthesized human vocal- and inspired Stanley Kubrick to have the HAL 9000 sing the same song during its (his?) shutdown.
So the next time you use Ableton Live, or a Vocoder, or any sequencer- or your Wii, for that matter- be sure to say thanks to Max.
Have a great weekend, everyone!

If you are thinking of adding a pet to your family this year, head over to JustFoodForDogs in Newport Beach on Sunday to meet some adoptable dogs and cats.
The pet adoptions will be held Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. at JustFoodForDogs. The adoptions are being hosted by the Fuzzy Pet Foundation, an all-breed, no-kill rescue organization, committed to stopping animal overpopulation and shelter killings.
- See all the dogs and cats up for adoption on Sunday on the Fuzzy Pet Foundation Facebook page.
Sheila Choi, founder of TFPF, says the group rescues dogs and cats as strays, and many of them are surrendered to TFPF because owners could no longer raise them due to financial and other reasons.
"We also rescue dogs and cats from death-row at animal shelters," Choi explained. "We also take in dogs and cats with special needs who are missing an eye, incontinent or paralyzed. They come from families or animal shelters and we give them a second,third,fourth chance at life."
TFPF rescues, rehabs and re-homes at least 100 dogs and cats every year and helps low-income pet owners with getting their pets spayed/neutered. According to Choi, there are currently six to eight million dogs and cats that enter the animal shelters across the country.
"Half of these are adopted out while the other half are killed for a lack of general resources," Choi said. "Adopting a shelter pet not only saves a life, but it also makes room at the animal shelter for another animal in need."
The adoption fee for cats ranges from $175 - $200 andincludes spay/neuter, shots, de-worming, de-fleaing, fecal exam, microchip, and FeLV/FIV test. The adoption fee for dogs ranges from $175 - $300 and includes spay/neuter, shots, de-worming, de-fleaing, fecal exam, and microchip.
Interested pet adopters can fill out an application at the event, and it will be processed within 48-72 hours. JustFoodForDogs is located at 500 W. Coast Highway in Newport Beach.

In light of what is going on here, I thought we could use some football!
In college football, the regular season schedule means a whole lot more than in the NFL. You can lose the first three games of the season in the NFL and STILL make the playoffs and perhaps win the Superbowl. Not in the NCAA. Every year there are a few teams that start their season with a "Must-Win." Here, I will list the top five games to start the season that have the biggest impact on the winning, or losing team.
Number five. South Carolina at Vanderbilt, Thursday Aug. 30th.
With Marcus Lattimore coming back healthy and Connor Shaw at the helm, this team is coming into 2012 with a vision of a ring on their fingers that say more than "2nd Place!" Last season they only had losses to Auburn and Arkansas, and let's face it, they should have won against Auburn if it wasn't for Stephen Garcia having an epic meltdown and giving away the game. South Carolina has a very promising season ahead of them. Their first hurdle will be Vanderbilt. James Franklin has done a tremendous amount for the commodores. He has brought discipline and hope to a team that is known for floundering when it comes to football. They may be the smartest team on the field, but they have to really bring it against South Carolina. I'm not saying that Vanderbilt will (or could) win against South Carolina this season, but they are looking to make a statement this year and this is the game they need to do it.
My prediction: South Carolina 33 Vanderbilt 27
Number Four. Georgia Tech at Virginia Tech, Monday Sept. 3rd.
The winner of this game will face either Clemson or Florida State in the ACC championship game. Mark my words. This game will be the determining factor on who will win the ACC Coastal division. With that being said, it will be Virginia Tech that takes the win here. Logan Thomas last year, led the Hokies to an 11-3 season. He threw for 3013 yards and had 59.8 completion percentage. Their only regular season loss was to Clemson. Then again, lost to Clemson in the ACC Championship game. Virginia Tech will return in full force this season looking to claim what they thought should have been theirs last season, the ACC Championship.
My prediction: Virginia Tech 17 Georgia Tech 9
Number three. North Carolina State at Tennessee, Friday Aug. 31st.
Tennessee has been a very disappointing team the last few seasons. Usually the Tennessee faithful would look at this game as a win and move their focus to the next game. Not anymore. The way the Volunteers have been struggling, this game could easily be a loss to start the season. But, I think Dooley has circled the wagons a bit and with fear of losing his job may bring back a little of that tenacity the "Big Orange" are used to seeing. Though they still finish with a mediocre 6-6 record, they find a way to win the first one and beat North Carolina State.
My Prediction Tennessee 13 North Carolina State 10
Number two. Clemson vs. Auburn, Saturday Sept.1st.
This game doesn't have any implications for a conference championship or National Championship, but this game sets the tone for an entire season for either school. Emotions will be so high for this game the winner will be able to carry it over for a win against an opponent they weren't supposed to win. For example, if Clemson beats Auburn, they can cruise past Ball St. and Furman with a 3-0 record headed into Sept. 22nd to play Florida St. That's the kind of momentum they need against a very strong Florida St. team. As for Auburn, they need this win before they head to Miss. St the following weekend. After last year's goal line stand as time expires, Miss St. is looking for some revenge against the Tigers and will definitely bring it. Auburn is going to need that extra momentum that a win against Clemson would give them.
My prediction: Auburn 27 Clemson 23
Number one. Michigan vs. Alabama, Saturday Sept. 1st
The biggest opener this year by far. Many folks are going into this game thinking that Alabama will "roll" all over Michigan. I think they are in for a BIG surprise. Denard Robinson is known for his quick scrambling and not so much his arm, but he has been working on his footwork and his accuracy this offseason. We all know he cannot beat that Bama defense with his legs. Their Defense is just too quick, but if you combine that with an accurate arm and a team willing to stand up as one and take down an SEC powerhouse……there will be fireworks. I've many say that Michigan will give 'em hell for two quarters, then fall to the wayside. With the added depth on both sides of the ball I think Michigan hands a HUGE upset to the Crimson Tide to start the 2012 season.
My prediction: Michigan 24 Alabama 23.

Al-Mina excavations
In an impressive setting leading down to the ancient Egyptian (south) harbour, the Al-Mina excavations incorporate remains of Roman and Byzantine Tyre. Upon entering, a double line of columns to the right is thought to be part of the agora (market place). Further down is a long colonnaded road leading directly to what was the southern harbour.

Ok, so I used Shelby in silhouette form, isn't she precious?! Shelby is another of my favorite fairies, but I just don't have cause to use her enough. Silhouettes are all the rage, so this stamp will get used alot! Not to mention how much faster you can make a card since you don't have to color it in.
I found Chupa's Sketch 21 a perfect fit for my image. The shapes were cut with my Silhouette (except the plain circle). I used some pretty and soft MME papers, matted with dark grey cardstock.
Be sure to stop by the PMS blog to see more inspiration from the design team and to see how you can win some goodies.

Grenada is a small island state stretching towards the southern end of the Caribbean island chain. It is an upper-middle income country ranked 86 out of 179 countries in the Human Development Index 2008. Grenada's small open economy is heavily dependent on tourism and exports of bananas and spices. In recent years, manufacturing paper products and electronic components, offshore financial services and direct marketing have also become increasingly important. In 2004 and 2005, Grenada was battered by two major hurricanes that caused widespread devastation. Around 90% of buildings were either damaged or destroyed and roads were wrecked. In addition to the ongoing reconstruction efforts, the priority is now on assisting the affected population to return to normal conditions, in order to maintain social stability and to prevent a rise in poverty.
Aid programmes
The Country Strategy Paper for Grenada (2008-2013) presents the strategic framework for the co-operation between the European Commission (EC) and Grenada under the 10th European Development Fund (EDF). In order to contribute to the social and economic recovery of the country, EC assistance under the 10th EDF will concentrate on supporting human settlement with special attention to reducing the vulnerability of low-income households by providing them with proper accommodation, infrastructure and services.
The EC's total allocation (2008-2013) foreseen for Grenada under the 10th EDF amounts to €9.2 million.
In addition, since 1999, Grenada is benefiting from €5.5 million in grants from the Special Framework of Assistance for Traditional ACP suppliers of Bananas, under the general budget of the EC. These grants are contributing to the development of the agriculture, credit, ICT and private sectors.
Recent assistance
The Country Strategy Paper for Grenada (2001-2007) under 9th EDF focussed on tourism development. Later, a general budget support component was added to support Grenada's macroeconomic reform programme for poverty reduction through private sector development, employment and trade facilitation.
Following the destruction caused by the hurricanes, funds were reallocated to the rehabilitation of school buildings and water facilities. The School Emergency Rehabilitation project is covering the rehabilitation of 20 school buildings damaged by the hurricane and a telecommunications project. Activities include civil works, furniture, school supplies and any other issues aimed at rehabilitating educational facilities.
For further details on projects and programmes in Grenada funded from the European Development Fund and the general budget of the EU, please visit the project's section of the website of the Delegation of the European Union in Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean, responsible for Grenada.
Other sources of information
The Directorate-General for Development is responsible for drawing up the cooperation strategy with Grenada.
More information on EU relations with Grenada is available on the pages of the Delegation of the European Union in Barbados, which is responsible for co-operation activities in the country.
Information on trade relations in the ACP region can be found on the website of the Directorate-General for Trade.

Aaron Rodgers went 28-for-40 passing for 365 yards and four touchdowns, but the Green Bay Packers fell just short to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. Rodgers didn't throw an interception, but he took five sacks for a loss of 32 yards and lost a fumble.
Rodgers once again finished the regular season among the top passers in the NFL. He completed 67 passes for 4,295 yards, 39 touchdowns and eight interceptions on the season. Over his last three outings, Rodgers threw 10 touchdowns to zero interceptions.
Fantasy Impact: Rodgers didn't quite live up to the lofty standards he set last season, but he was still a top-flight fantasy quarterback in 2012. He was slightly less consistent, producing big numbers in fits and spurts, but when he was on he was among the best fantasy options in a given week. He will likely be one of the top quarterbacks taken in drafts next season, and with good reason.

Next to the Holy Grail, the most difficult thing in the world to find is a recipe from a restaurant that is no longer in business. I'm asked for them at the rate of about one a week. I think I have been asked for this one at least a hundred times.
Corinne Dunbar's was a unique restaurant on St. Charles Avenue that operated more like a private home. It had a fixed menu each day, and you never knew what you'd be served. But you hoped it would be oysters Dunbar, the restaurant's most famous dish. It was an oyster-and-artichoke casserole, and although I have never been able to obtain an authentic recipe from original sources, I've managed to piece together enough facts about it to come up with this one. At the very least, it seems close to what I remember from the one time I went to Dunbar's in the early 1970s.
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Drain the oysters, reserving the liquor. Put the oyster liquor into a 1-cup measuring cup and add enough water, if necessary, to make 1 cup liquid.
2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil with the 2 tablespoons of salt and half the lemon juice. Cook the artichokes until tender, then remove from the water and set aside to cool.
3. Using a spoon, scrape the meat from the tough outer artichoke leaves into a bowl and discard the leaves. Pull off the tender inner leaves and reserve them whole. Remove the fuzzy "choke" from the artichoke bottom, chop the bottom into medium dice, and reserve.
4. In a skillet, melt the stick of butter until it bubbles. Add the flour and cook, stirring often, to form a loose blond roux. Add the green onion and cook until tender.
5. Add the reserved oyster liquor and mushrooms. Bring to a light boil, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until the mushrooms are tender and the liquid is very thick. Add the oysters and cook for 2 minutes more. Season to taste with Tabasco, salt, and pepper.
6. Scatter the reserved artichoke leaves and meat evenly in a baking dish. Pour the sauced oyster mixture over the artichokes and top with bread crumbs. Dot the top with the remaining butter and bake until the bread crumbs are browned and the rapid bubbling of the liquid contents has begun to slow, 12-15 minutes. Allow to cool for about 5 minutes.

[MMIT NEW CHILDREN'S BOOK ~ FUTURE CLASSIC DaKara Kies HPT Master, Certified Energy Healer Fri Feb 03 16:11:39 2012My friend, Debbie Mancini-Wilson is launching a new children's book which is sure to be a classic!
Whether you have children of your own or not, I'm certain that you understand the importance of showing children that since we share this world with others, we must learn to be compassionate and kind. And, that when we live with pure intentions and a genuine concern for others, we are living as "A Friend Indeed" which is beneficial to others, as well as fulfilling to our own soul, and everyone wins! /"If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion."/ ~Dalai Lam
Hey, I think he read "A Friend Indeed!" ;-D"A Friend Indeed" is a hardcover, full-color picture book which ignites the reader's imagination from the very first page while demonstrating compassion and kindness in a setting which is perfect and comfortable for children ages 4-8. The story, although sweet, does not stop there. This 'Good Samaritan' tale is based on animals in the jungle. The fun, underlying nutritional messages which are woven into the story, subtly reinforce the value of nourishing our bodies as well as our souls, and each element in the story artfully assembles critical building blocks in character education which are so important in developmental stages of a child's persona. The talented author, Carma Lee, is a gifted dancer/choreographer, as well as a brilliant writer. She has worked with children in academia as well as arts, and blends the two beautifully. Carma knows the importance of creatively engaging children and keeping them entertained while they are learning ... and she accomplishes all of this in, "A Friend Indeed." Children are sure to fall in love with Jo-Jo, the monkey while they echo praises of Lola, the singing butterfly. They will be dazzled by Ruby, the Scarlet Macaw, and will adore Shay, the African elephant. However, it is the lessons they learn from Sly and Slick, the slithering snakes, and the compassion they learn from Dino the dancing dragon that will last a lifetime! Yet, adults see the value from a different vantage point. We recognize the significance of finding that perfect book which will inspire, mold, and become a classic of its generation. This is that book.
Look, we all have children in our lives in some capacity or other, and whether we are aware of it or not, we impact their lives. Sometimes our impact is obvious, and sometimes not to us; however, it is often the small gestures that make the biggest impact. Your small gesture of gifting a special child with this book can be one of the most valuable elements in their world.
If you have the good fortune of knowing a special child, why not take this opportunity to instill values that make a difference. Chances are, you'll be remembered forever as the special person who bought them their favorite book! ...
And, if that's not enough, how about this to sweeten the pot? ... When you purchase the book during its special launch ~TODAY, you not only make a special child happy, you also win by receiving BONUS GIFTS WORTH OVER $6,000~
Yep, you read that right! Purchase a copy ~ or several copies ~ of 'A Friend Indeed' TODAY, and you get to choose free gifts from sponsors who believe in this book so much, they are offering you FREE GIFTS just for purchasing the book TODAY! ... You can CHOOSE AS MANY OF THE FREE BONUS GIFTS as you'd like ... EVEN ALL $6,000 worth. It's our way of saying "Thank you for being a priceless mentor to a special (and LUCKY!) child!"

Mary Bell
The Trial Begins
"Well, that was a very naughty thing to do, wasn't it, to think of killing little boys and girls and talk about it?"
-- Prosecution's question to Norma Bell
Mary Bell and Norma Bell were brought to trial for the murder of Martin Brown and Brian Howe at the Newcastle Assizes Moothall on December 5th 1968. The trial would last nine days. The media attention, although mild by today's sensationalist standards, was generating increasing interest as the trial progressed -- by the final day the press was everywhere. Despite attempts to make the court proceedings less threatening to the children, both Norma and Mary were bewildered. Mary appeared to be attentive, but later admitted the whole thing was a "blur."
Prosecutor Rudolph Lyons opened the trial by suggesting that whoever murdered Brian Howe also killed Martin Brown. Lyons methodically recounted the suspicious behavior of both girls at the scene of Martin's death, how they plagued the mourning family with their morbid questions, and how they vandalized the Nursery the next day, leaving notes that amounted to a confession. For Norma, these notes were the most damaging to her innocence. Handwriting analysis had verified that Norma had written the "I murder so that I may come back" note. If Norma was truly innocent, why would she participate in these dreadful scribblings?
How did Mary know that Martin had been asphyxiated? asked Lyons. This was not public knowledge, yet she demonstrated to the Howes how Martin was strangled. Forensic evidence also implicated Mary -- gray fibers from one of her wool dresses were discovered on the bodies of both victims. Fibers from Norma's maroon skirt were found on Brian's shoes. Although there were doubts about Norma's guilt, Mary was considered guilty by most. According to Gitta Sereny, who was at the trial, the issue at stake was whether Mary was a sick little girl or a monster, a "bad seed."
Mary's family presence at the trial certainly didn't help her case. Her mother Betty Bell disrupted the proceedings with all her wailing and sobbing, her long blond wig slipping off her head. Like a poorly-played character in a lurid soap opera, she stormed out during the trial, only to dramatically reappear moments later. Her father Billy Bell sat quietly, ignoring his wife's spectacles. Mary, who Sereny described as very pretty and intelligent, with dark hair and sharp blue eyes, which "in anger looked emotionally blank." Observers in the courtroom, wrote Sereny, were "watching her with a horrified kind of curiosity." For such a "manipulative" and "cunning" little girl, Mary knew nothing about attracting sympathy. At one point Mary told a police officer how a "woman up in the gallery smiles at me, but I don't smile back. It isn't a smiling matter. The jury wouldn't like it if I smiled, would they?"
Norma, on the other hand, was surrounded by a much more sympathetic family. She was the third of eleven children, and reacted to evidence and testimony with a more childlike combination of fear and nervous tears (Mary disdained crying as a sign of weakness.)

ATWATER — Kevin Swartwood has resigned as the head football coach at Buhach Colony to take an associate principal job at Merced High.
Swartwood's resignation became official on Wednesday night with the Merced High School Union Board of Trustees approved his hiring at Merced High.
Swartwood took over a struggling Buhach Colony program in 2006 and built it into a Central California Conference power, winning three straight league titles from 2010 to 2012. The Thunder made three straight trips to the Sac-Joaquin Section Division 2 semifinals during that run.
Buhach Colony was 51-38 during Swartwood's eight years there, including a 34-5 stretch from 2010-12.
"I really loved it here," Swartwood said. "It was an awesome run and that made it a hard decision to leave. I had applied for the associate principal job and I was fortunate enough to get it. I'm starting right away on Monday."
Kevin Navarra, who was named a co-head coach last year, will take over as the Thunder head coach.
Navarra has been coaching for 20 years. He coached eight years at Atwater and moved over to Buhach Colony when the school opened in 2001. He's spent the past four years as Swartwood's defensive coordinator.
"Last year when Swarty approached me about becoming co-head coach I knew he would eventually go," Navarra said. "In my mind I was thinking two or three years at the time. But I feel I'm ready.
"When I met with the kids I told them I'm not going to try to be coach Swarty. If I try to be somebody I'm not it's going to hurt the program. I've got to be myself. Being his defensive coordinator these past four years, I've learned a lot from him about dealing with players, coaches, parents and the community."
Swartwood began his coaching career in 1980 as the junior varsity coach at Livingston for a year before a stint at Atwater as an assistant. He was then hired at Merced and served as offensive coordinator for Mark Speckman, helping lead the Bears to back-to-back section titles in 1989 and 1990.
When Golden Valley opened in 1994, Swartwood was hired as the school's first athletic director, where he still coached football in some capacity for 10 of his 12 years there.
In 2006 he took over a Buhach Colony program that had never had a winning season.
"There was no tradition when I started here," Swartwood said. "It took a while to build that up. My first year here was our first year in the CCC and we took a lot of beatings. I'm proud of how far we've come to be able to compete year in and year out."
Navarra said the program needed a coach like Swartwood when he came on board.
"I think we're going to miss his overall leadership and stability," Navarra said. "Prior to him we had head coaches that dabbled in other sports. Swarty came in and he was football 365 days a year. That was the direction we needed at the time."
According to Swartwood, his greatest accomplishment was helping send roughly 25 players on to four-year schools to play football.
"That's one of the things I'm the most proud of," Swartwood said. "It started in Year 1 when we sent Ronald Carter and Chris Kelly to schools in Oregon. Every year we've had two or three guys, including eight in 2012."
Don't expect major changes in the Thunder program under Navarra. Buhach Colony will still run the fly on offense with assistant Jerry Dietz serving as offensive coordinator.
"It's something we've established through our youth program," Navarra said. "We run the same offense and defense through all seven levels. My feeling is if it's not broke don't fix it."

(Sports Network) - Denver Broncos left tackle Ryan Clady was put on season- ending reserve Wednesday after suffering a Lisfranc foot injury in Sunday's win over the New York Giants, according to multiple reports.
It appeared that Clady suffered the injury when his foot was rolled up by a fallen Giants player as Denver was trying to run out the clock.
The 27-year-old three-time Pro Bowl selection Clady signed a five-year, $57.5 million contract during the during the offseason, which made his the third highest paid left tackle in the NFL.
Over his five-year career, the Boise State product has started every game for the Broncos since the team drafted him with the 12th overall selection in the 2008 NFL Draft.
Chris Clark, who has started just six games over six years in the NFL, will now protect Peyton Manning's blind side.

Former Wales and Scarlets prop set to coach Dragons forwards, but skills coach Connor leaves
7:10am Wednesday 23rd May 2012 in Dragons By Chris Kirwan
NEWPORT Gwent Dragons are poised to appoint former Wales prop Iestyn Thomas as their forwards coach but another member of the backroom staff has headed for the exit.
The Argus understands that the Dragons have turned to former Pontypool and Ebbw Vale loosehead Thomas to replace Danny Wilson, who left the region earlier this month to join the Scarlets.
Thomas, 35, will head in the opposite direction to his native Gwent after retiring in April because of a neck injury.
Improving the set piece was the first requirement when the Rodney Parade region started their search for Wilson's successor and 33-times capped Thomas will certainly command respect in that department.
He also expressed a desire to pass on his knowledge of the dark arts when he announced his retirement last month.
He said: "I enjoy mentoring younger players. It's funny because up until now I haven't been able to teach people much – in my position you never want to give your secrets away.
"But I'd happily pass those secrets on to any young prop who would be willing to listen to me."
The Dragons have a policy of not commenting on links with players or coaches until deals are complete, but the deal could be rubber-stamped within days.
Meanwhile, skills coach Shaun Connor has left the region to take up the same role with the Welsh Rugby Union based at the Ospreys Academy.
The 36-year-old former fly-half, who also coached Pontypool last season, will do the same job as that carried out by ex-Wales international Byron Hayward in Gwent.
"I've loved my four years – two as a player, two as a coach – with the Dragons," said Blaina-born Connor, who was man of the match when the Ospreys beat Australia A in 2006.
"It was a tough decision to leave but I feel this is the best move for me in terms of my development as a coach.
"(Dragons director of rugby) Rob Beale was superb with me, understood the situation and agreed to release me from my contract a year early.
"I'm looking forward to it but I will remember some great times coaching with both the Dragons and Ponty-pool."
It's unlikely that there will be a like-for-like replacement for Connor with head of conditioning Alex Lawson, a former Newport fly-half, able to offer kicking advice and the possibility of enlisting the help of Hayward.

3 weeks ago Darren Edwards was of the view that the team required an experienced outside half
2 weeks ago Neil Jenkins WRU disageed.
This week Darren Edwards agrees with Neil Jenkins.
Conclusion ???
Thankfully I shall not be present next season to witness anymore humiliating defeats such as against Connaught and Leinster seconds

East Newport Dave says...
On the negative side, Edwards is hung in there like a limpet, and without a high calibre leader at the helm, Iestyn will be up against it. Agreed Iestyn does not appear to have any coaching experience but let's see what he can do. Whatever happens this season, last season was a complete shambles. In the light of recent player departures and no change to the coaching management, any improvement on last season will be a bonus (I was going to say 'miracle').

Colin Charvis had his coaching badges so it was a natural follow on for him, pity he didn't keep it going but travelling from Swansea every day without his driving license was both hard and expensive and he failed to deliver on attending let alone coaching, but that's history now and Colin is doing OK. The new situation is current and future so why knock it before he even puts pen to paper. As I said typical Townie attitude.
I'm not sure how you worked out contibutors are Townies (presumably thats Newport) or even what attitude you mean. I'm not from or in a town and, like many, I'd like to see my season ticket money spent on coaches that have been trained as coaches and gained some experience coaching at some relevant level. Hopefully Iestyn has done that.

DVDs:Culture, History and Religion:U.S. History:The Real George Washington DVD
As seen on the National Geographic Channel.
Founding father, commander of the Continental Army and America's first presidentGeorge Washington's face is as familiar as the dollar bill. Today, archaeologists, scientists and historians are applying innovative forensic techniques to reveal the man behind the myth. We join a team, funded by the National Geographic Society, that has discovered the ruins of George Washington's childhood homeits exact location had been a mystery until now. As they comb the site, they unearth two cellars and a collection of incredible artifacts that help set the record straight on his fabled youth. Then, despite Washington's dignified image, we learn he engaged in the dirty business of espionage. During the American Revolution, he habitually used secret codes, invisible ink and misinformation to deceive the British. We also unearth reminders of his intimate relationship with slavery at his Mount Vernon estate and executive mansion. Finally, watch forensic investigators re-create Washington's facenot as painters and sculptors have romanticized him, but as The Real George Washington.

Comments about The Real George Washington DVD:
After readying several good factual books about George Washington, it is clear that this movie was created to stretch certain events in his life to as negative a perspective as possible, and ignore most of the events and evidence in his life that prove his high character, and moral integrity.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
