After two rounds of voting, Mark Billingsley was elected Monday afternoon to replace on an interim basis former Shelby County Commissioner Wyatt Bunker, who is now the mayor of Lakeland.
He will fill the District 4, Position 2 seat on an interim basis until August. He was sworn in after the vote.
Billingsley didn't receive the majority of votes by commissioners in the first round of voting, but by the second round he did.
After a brief recess he was quickly sworn in and made his first vote as interim commissioner. While he does want to run for the full-term commission seat, he says for now he wants to focus on getting work done in the next few months.
One of Billingsley's focuses including the upcoming budget battle.
"Coming from the nonprofit sector, I think I have a real appreciation for stretching a dollar," he said. "I know how to do that; I'll do my best here while keeping the people's needs in mind."
The closest competitors were former school board member and realtor Dian George and mortgage banker George Chism.
Another heavily debated topic Monday was turning the Mid-South fairgrounds into a tourism development zone from the city of Memphis. The county commission says this would "hijack" funding from the schools fund.
(previous story)
The process to replace former Shelby County Commissioner Wyatt Bunker, Lakeland's new mayor, drew an impressive roster of candidates to interview for the interim post, which expires in August.
A final decision by the commission will be made in mid-January. Some of the candidates used the occasion as a warm-up for campaigns they plan to wage for their own commission seat later this year.
More than a dozen candidates stood ready and hoping they'd be the answer to a political "cattle call," electing blank to serve as interim county commissioner for District Four, Position Two.
At stake was the opportunity, if you look at public service in that vain, to temporarily serve out the remaining eight-month term of resigned Commissioner Bunker, who won election as Lakeland mayor in a September 2013 election.
The rules of procedure were simple enough. Each candidate was given up to five minutes for their intro, then each commissioner, if they saw fit to, asked two questions of the candidate. The candidate then was limited to a one minute reply to each query.

MORE: Bunker sworn in as Lakeland mayor
MORE: Commissioner Thomas picked as Lakeland city manager
Simple in theory, yet not surprisingly hard to adhere considering the legendary long-windedness of some commissioners.
"Do you have any problem with the idea that we will be funding schools for Black kids that are going to school with White kids?," asked Commissioner Chairman James Harvey.
"District Four is rich with African-Americans, Asian-Americans, Muslims, Christians, Black and White," said Mark Billingsley, candidate. "I have no issue with color."
Billingsley, a former Germantown alderman, appeared to fit the bill for the post, in the minds of some commissioners, especially when he said he wasn't interested in running for the position on a permanent basis. A similarly honest declaration from former legacy Shelby County Schools board member, Republican Dian George, drew unexpected praise from the other side of the political aisle.
"I've listened to you very carefully and unlike some of the others, you have proclaimed your beliefs and your position, and you have not been trying to impress us based on what you think we want to hear," said Commissioner Walter Bailey.
"I know this is a job and I know what the requirements are being on the school board, it would take to fulfill this job," George said. "Therefore, I have decided not to run this time. There will be a day where I will run."
Others weren't so coy about their future plans. Both Collierville banker George Chism and Memphis firefighter D.J. Daugherty, admitted they'll be candidates for the commission this year, whether chosen as an interim or not.
But, neophyte candidate Robert Escue might be having second thoughts about pursuing any political aspirations when asked by Commissioner Henri Brooks if he would drop his membership in the "Sons of the Confederacy" historic organization if picked as a commissioner. A flustered Escue tried to set the record straight for Brooks' enlightenment.
"There's no race prejudice," Escue said. "It's just gender prejudice. I mean ... because it's "Sons."
The whole process is going to have to be repeated soon in order to find an interim replacement for outgoing Commissioner Chris Thomas, who is the new Lakeland city manager.

Latest Netbiscuits Global Web Trends report
Samsung and LG gain ground as Apple stagnate, while BlackBerry mobile web usage nose dives and Nokia consolidates
Consumers show an appetite for bigger screens, as 'mobile for everything' philosophy starts to influence leading vendors' design strategies
China iPhone launch can't come soon enough for Apple, as Samsung, LG and local brands dominate consumer web usage in Asian market
Press release
January 29th 2014. Netbiscuits, has released its latest quarterly Web Trends report, revealing big mobile traffic gains for Samsung and LG year-on-year, as Apple device usage stagnated and BlackBerry dropped to its lowest levels to date. The report, based on a sample of over a billion web hits per month rather than device sales figures, also revealed that consumers turned to devices with bigger screens in 2013, placing more pressure on brands to deliver consistent web experiences to an increasingly fragmented market.
Consumers look for more diversity as Apple stagnates
Netbiscuits report showed that Apple's share of traffic fell slightly to 35.2 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2013, while Samsung showed the greatest gain, reaching 31.6 per cent and LG climbed 2.4 per cent from the third quarter to 4.9 per cent.
Across the top 100 devices on the Netbiscuits Platform, Apple commands a 40.6 per cent share with 10 devices. Samsung captures 32.9 per cent but requires more than double (22 devices) to achieve this, with many more local country variants and screen sizes.
Size matters as consumers show an appetite for larger screens
As BlackBerry disappeared from Netbiscuits top ten device list, so too did representation for smartphones with screens under 3 inches.
All screen sizes above 4 inches recorded a significant increase in traffic, while the biggest loser was the 3 to 3.9 inch segment, demonstrating how consumers are turning to bigger screens on mobile devices to carry out everyday tasks.
This screen size shift means that the average screen size within the top 10 devices has increased from 3.9 to 4.2 inches.
Local preferences prevail
Apple's greatest share of web traffic unsurprisingly remains in North America, where its share tallies a solid 44 per cent.
In Asia, Apple enjoys strong representation in markets such as Singapore and Australia but, overall in Asia, it trails its rival Samsung with a 29 per cent share, compared to 39 per cent for Samsung.
Samsung's broad appeal across all regions lies in its ability to offer a multitude of devices that match the preferences of each market.
For example, Asian markets often prefer larger screens but these markets are also more price sensitive. Samsung's large product range enables it to cater for markets with more specific requirements.
Wall Street Journal reports that Apple is intending to release a 4.5 and 5 inch variant of the iPhone later this year, suggesting the larger screen is now a key consideration for device manufacturers.1
Michael Neidhoefer, CEO, Netbiscuits said, "With such fierce vendor competition and the seemingly-endless emergence of new devices, consumers have never had such a great choice of devices through which to engage with the mobile web."
"Consumers are also expecting more and more from their mobile experiences, leading them back to bigger screens which allow a better experience to play games, watch movies or interact with activities, such as mobile internet banking."
"While this choice is a great thing for consumers, it does mean that brands must work even harder to understand how customers are accessing their mobile content."
"In 2014, we're sure to see these companies try to get to grips with deeper mobile web analytics tools that give insight, not only into the type of devices customers are using, but also the context in which they are engaging with the mobile web, such as current bandwidth and battery life – these factors will determine the type of mobile experience customers are served up."

text: I see the Dodgers have released Andruw Jones. It looks like all we would have to pay is $400,000 for him and they would pay the rest. I think he would do nicely in Chicago. We all know he has been the greatest center fielder in baseball for a long time. He offence is in question now but for the price why not. Jim Edmonds did it why cant Andruw. Thoughts on this possibilty?

Henry, Brown named schoolboy basketball MVPs
MONTEGO BAY, St James
WILLIAM Knibb Memorial High's Daniel Henry and Spot Valley High's Jhamonique Brown were named Most Valuable Players ( MVPs) last week after leading their respective schools to first time titles in the ISSA/KFC Western Conference high school boys' Under-19 and Under-16 basketball competitions respectively, defeating defending champions Muschett High 2-0 in both sections of their best of three finals.
William Knibb Memorial defeated two-time defending champions Muschett High 81-65 and 61-60 to sweep their series and win their first ever Under-19 title, while Spot Valley had wins of 69-40 and 60-42 in the Under-16 competition to add to their Under-14 title won two years ago.
All four teams will represent the Western Conference in the all-island play-offs set to start next week.
After scoring 26 points in the first game, Henry-led William Knibb recover from a double digit deficit in their rain-affected second game, as he combined with high scorer Shavaughn Reid and Alwayne Smith to sneak the win.
On two occasions as Muschett threaten to run away with the game, Henry led the comeback with astute game management, along with clutch-scoring on his way to finish with 17 points.
After a relatively quiet first game in the Under-16 competition, Brown exploded for 27 points and 12 rebounds in the second and final game as Spot Valley dominated the outgoing champions.

"That was a good old fashioned [expletive] is what that was." [Sports Day DFW]
So said Lindy Ruff after last night's drubbing at the hands of the Chicago Blackhawks. And the man has a point. Let's just say it was not ideal.
The Stars took on a Blackhawks team missing their starting goaltender. A team that has also been without its original backup keeper for some time now, meaning the guy starting in net began the season with Rockford of the AHL. Of course, the Hawks could have started their equipment manager in goal for all the pressure the Stars were able to generate through the first half of the game.
Now, the overall stats might wind up being a bit misleading. But take a close look at the chart here, and it turns out the majority of the Stars offense didn't occur until after they'd already spotted the Hawks a 5-0 lead. Not exactly how you would script a matchup against division rivals and defending Cup champions. Shame too, as going into yesterday's game the Stars were beginning to generate some buzz. ESPN Power Rankings had the Stars as high as 13, and some Chicago bloggers were beginning to talk of the Stars as the Hawks' newest rival. Last night's rout may have changed some of those opinions...
Or maybe it was just an off night. Who knows? We'll have to wait until the end of March for the rematch.

The first days of fall feature some cool mornings with weather fit for fishing, but local anglers hit a snag, thanks to an invasive species of carp.
Now, they're jumping at the chance to catch these flying fish and get them out of the water for good.
"They're just getting out of control," said Jeremy Ertman, a tournament organizer and fisherman. "So, anything we can do, we're going to try."
The Missouri River Boat Club's carp contest has anglers teaming up to hook an invasive species. They say jumping carp are mowing down the river's regular inhabitants.
"Tens of thousands, easy," said Ertman.
With the river overflowing with these bottom-feeders, it's not hard to spot them jumping out of the water. On one of Ertman's first trips, the fish were literally flying into his boat.
"It's actually kind of dangerous," said Ertman.
So, by whatever means they can, Ertman and his crew try to tackle these airborne beasts.
They were given a special one day pass to use these nets by the Iowa DNR today to try to catch these fish because they're considered to be such a nuisance.
In the early morning hours, the low-flying fish tested the crew's reflexes.
"They're not jumping nearly as high, a lot of them aren't even jumping, they're just kind of skimming the water," said DeBoom.
When the fish aren't biting, their approach is altered.
"Try to find a spot in the water where there isn't any movement, where it's really, really still water," said DeBoom. "Then you slow the boat down and trim the motor up a little bit, so it makes as much noise as it possibly can."
Once the waters warm up, more fish will come to the party. That's why Ertman's crew set up a small dinghy behind their motor boat: to give the fish another place to land.
"It seems that they jump in the wake a little more than they jump in front of the boat. But it won't be long and you'll have plenty in the boat," said Ertman.
And as they race to fill these buckets and head to shore, they know there's still more to reel in.
This fishing trip netted about 675 pounds of carp. The first time they went out this year, they had more than 6,000 pounds.
They're hoping to have four tournaments to catch these carp next year.

LAWRENCE — Results of recent MCAS tests released by the state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education released today show Lawrence Public Schools made dramatic improvement during its first full year under state control.
After several years of declining MCAS growth scores in English, students in the state's most troubled public school district proved they are capable of doing much better:
Lawrence Public Schools exceeded its first year District Turnaround Plan goal of doubling the number of schools in which students outperform their academic peers. The students nearly tripled its so-called Student Growth Percentile (SGP).
The school district doubled the number of Level 1 schools this year from two to four, with the Guilmette Elementary and Wetherbee School advancing into the top category in a five-level accountability system that measures performance. Schools designated as Level 1 are among the top 30 percent in the state.
This is the first time in three years that a Lawrence school hasn't been downgraded to Level 4, the state's lowest achieving and least improving schools. Lawrence had six of the state's 43 Level 4 schools last year.
The district's SGP for Math rose from 40 percent to 57 percent over the past year, the highest ever recorded in the school district.
The SGP for English Language Arts increased to 47 percent, reversing a decline over the past three years.
"This is a good day for the city of Lawrence, and we owe thanks to too many people to count," Superintendent/Receiver Jeffrey C. Riley said.
"We've always recognized that turning around an entire school district in crisis is hard and it's not always going to go as smoothly as we'd all like, but after 18 months of district-wide reorganization we think we're on the right track," Riley said.
"We're extremely proud of all the hard work our teachers and students have put in, and just as grateful to the parents and community at large for the support that makes it possible. This is a terrific start on a long road back. Everyone here at LPS knows there's a lot still to do," he said.

Merrill Lynch Call Centers in the top 10 percent of the 20,000 call centers studied throughout North America.
BenchmarkPortal Recertifies Merrill Lynch's Financial Relationship Services ( FRS ) Call Centers in Hopewell, NJ and Jacksonville, FL as Centers of Excellence
Merrill Lynch Call Centers awarded " Call Center of Excellence" for fourth consecutive year!
Santa Maria, CA, March 1, 2008 – Merrill Lynch's Financial Relationship Services ( FRS ) Call Centers in Hopewell, NJ and Jacksonville, FL were recently re-certified for the fourth year as Centers of Excellence by, BenchmarkPortal, in conjunction with Purdue University's Center for Customer-Driven Quality. This certification is presented to an elite group of call centers that have clearly demonstrated key performance indicators that surpass rigorous standards of efficiency and operational effectiveness. "The Merrill Lynch customer service call centers have recently been re-certified as Purdue University Centers of Excellence.
Through proper planning and strong leadership, Merrill Lynch continues to offer world-class customer service by ensuring that inbound customer calls are handled quickly, accurately, and with a high degree of quality. By focusing on the people, the processes, and the technology of their call centers, Merrill Lynch has been able to once more achieve a highly efficient operation while also delivering the quality that their customers have come to expect," said Dr. Jon Anton of Purdue's Center for Customer-Driven Quality. "This certification places Merrill Lynch's performance in the top five percent of over 100,000 customer service call centers in the United States ."
The Purdue University Center for Customer-Driven Quality designates the "Center of Excellence" award to customer service call centers that rank in the top ten percent of the 20,000 call centers studied using a Balanced Scorecard that measures both efficiency and effectiveness. The database includes thousands of call centers in 24 industry segments sharing performance statistics, which are used by call center professionals worldwide to establish goals for best practice call center performance. Marc Scher, First Vice President, Merrill Lynch Global Wealth Management Services, added: "In order for Merrill Lynch to be an essential partner to our clients, we must strive to deliver an unparalleled level of service excellence in all customer interactions. Our fourth certification as a Center of Excellence affirms our ongoing commitment to improvements, excellence, and our overall belief that we operate as a service center that delivers both on our promise of value to our clients and shareholders. Our partnership with our internal partners at Merrill Lynch continues to allow our call center to exceed our goal of delighting the client, while being a fiscally efficient and effective organization.
Congratulations to all of the members of the FRS on this outstanding accomplishment and for being essential partners to our clients." The re-certification was awarded to Merrill Lynch FRS in February of 2008 following a comprehensive benchmarking study. During this process, objective, quantitative data was audited and validated by the researchers. Merrill Lynch's Financial Relationship Service multi-site service operation handles over 6.3 million contacts annually for retail and small business account clients and supports a vast variety of calls. The re-certification as a Center of Excellence clearly demonstrates that by remaining committed to achieving service excellence in the most cost-efficient ways possible, the FRS call centers have reached an optimized balance between efficiency and effectiveness, while focusing on increasing customer loyalty.

I watched the postgame last night and avery talked about starting to get a rotation together. If you look at both the minutes played, and the second half subs, this is what I see
-Guys Avery has settled on: Deron, Brooks, Morrow, Gaines, Humphries, Okur
-Guys fighting for spots: James, Stevenson, Shawne, Shelden, Petro
-Guys not part of things: Farmar, Horner
**What does everyone think?
2) I saw REAL progress IMHO last night. I know we lost, but I thought it was our best game: yea we beat Washington, but Atlanta is much better. We were in this game, step for step. To me, there is a key: We play Cleveland on their floor tomorrow: I know they have some impressive kids, but to build on last night's progress, with a day to rest, that's a game we need to win.
3) It's become obvious: Farmar's in the doghouse...and slated to soak up 4.25 mill in next year's cap space. Then, you look at our rotation, and the need for a body upfront is obvious: we are set at the guards. It feels like we need to deal farmar for that player; OR do what Utah did with Okur (salary dump farmar on another team), then sign a player.

2Paula Deen's Best Excuse For Her Racist Comments Is Not A Very Good One
Paula Deen made a lot of baffling, racially charged comments under deposition for being sued for making baffling, racially charged comments. At least she's not denying them, is the best thing you could say. But she's not owning up to them either. Around now is when her people would release a statement like, "Paula Deen made some mistakes and is embarrassed. She didn't intend to offend anyone and she'll use this as a lesson for the future." or something like that. Anything other than this (from TMZ):
During a deposition where she swore to tell the truth, Ms. Deen recounted having used a racial epithet in the past, speaking largely about a time in American history which was quite different than today. [Paula] was born 60 years ago when America's South had schools that were segregated, different bathrooms, different restaurants and Americans rode in different parts of the bus. This is not today. To be clear Ms. Deen does not find acceptable the use of this term under any circumstance by anyone nor condone any form of racism or discrimination.
Okay, so to sum up, blame the south and blame the year of her birth. No where in this statement is there an "I'm sorry" of any form or any kind of responsibility for her actions. I don't care how Southern and how old you are, Ms. Deen, you know better. There are thousands of people who grew up same as you did who know better than to say a "Southern Planation" themed wedding is a good idea or to call people the n-word. Don't call people names: that's a kindergarten lesson. And if you missed it in kindergarten, becoming a successful business woman who's traveled the world should have enlightened you.
June 20, 2013 at 3:30 pm by Catherine St. Ives

She probably isn't going to change her view on this. An "I'm sorry" at this point would be an "I'm sorry I was caught." I hope her children learn from this and transcend this antiquated Southern ideal.
I really think it was wrong to cancel her show! Under oath could any of
Us swear we never said the "n" word. This whole thing is out of control.

text: About the 49ers its a shame how we are losing these games turnovers , to many penalties I say we clean house it's time to let Alex Smith go. But me I would keep Mike Singletary for linebacker coach he is a hall of frame middle linebacker . Draft a quarterback preferably Andrew Luck and get Patrick Peterson to help Nate out that way we could go man to man on the outside and become that attacking blitzing team. Patrick Willis become AP Defensive Player Of the year.

SPECIAL OFFER: - Limited Time Only!
(The ad below will not display on your printed page)
Summer may bring bumper-to-bumper traffic to this popular national park, but make no mistake about it: Pedestrians rule at Zion. The park boasts more miles of walking trails than road. The river is fair game for hikers. Cars are no longer permitted on its scenic 7-mile drive -- you'll have to take the shuttle.
This is a walker's park, first and foremost. Those red rock cliffs towering 2,000 feet above the canyon floor may look formidable, but there's something in them for everyone -- from short, flat strolls to gut-busting treks.
So ditch the car, put on your hiking boots, and get ready to explore. Tip: By midday, most trails are basking in full sun, so start early. The scenery won't look nearly as spectacular through swollen, sunburned eyes.
Plan to spend most of your time hiking Zion Canyon (the main section). Unlike other parks, Zion doesn't skimp in the beginners' department. What's more, the easy hikes are just as scenic as harder ones. Here are our favorite short hops, ideal for families with small (or lazy) children:
Experienced hikers can thank the Virgin River for carving out Zion's canyon walls more than 13 million years ago. Those towering cliffs now provide the perfect terrain for scaling the park's many peaks, all of which offer dizzying views of the valley below.
One of Zion's most popular hikes is Angel's Landing. You'll hear a lot about this so-called scary trek during your stay here. But don't let that stop you from trying it. Only the last half-mile is a corker. Mostly, the trail is a steep but scenic climb on wide concrete paths to Scouts Landing, with 21 switchbacks along the way named Walter's Wiggles, after a former park superintendent.
Wait at Scout's Landing, if you're prone to vertigo, while the rest of your group goes on to the 6,000-foot summit. That last half-mile gets very narrow, and there are steep drop-offs on either -- or both -- sides (chains are provided).
Looking for a unique adventure in Zion? Take a stroll or hike up the Virgin River itself. The "trail" starts as a paved, 1-mile wheelchair accessible path along the water, aptly called Riverside Walk. It is the most popular path in the park.
At the end of the path, you can turn around or join the hundreds of folks who plunge into ankle or knee-deep water for some river hiking. (Don't do this with small children!) Pick up a walking stick where the paved path turns into riverbed. (Make sure to wear sturdy hiking boots, to avoid turning an ankle on slippery rocks.)
This water portion of the trail is called The Narrows, because the canyon walls come closer and closer together as you work your way upstream (in some spots they're just 40 feet across). Along the way, there are small beaches, hanging gardens, waterfalls, and interesting side canyons to explore. It's possible to hike 18 miles upriver if you're fit for backcountry adventure. But most people turn back after 2 or 3 miles.
Fall is the best time to try this hike, when water levels and thunderstorm risks are at their lowest. Check at the visitor center when you arrive for river conditions and flash flood warnings.
Zion National Park offers wonderful opportunities for kids to explore and appreciate the park's beauty. In addition to easy trails throughout the park, the Zion Nature Center, in the South Campground, offers a Junior Ranger Program for kids 6-12.
At the visitor center, rangers lead various child-oriented evening programs and slide shows that change weekly. From spring through early fall, there are nightly campfire programs and ranger walks.
You can also take the family aboard the Zion Shuttle for a 7-mile scenic drive with sensational views of the canyon. Get off at any point to explore hiking trails, have a picnic, or grab a bite at Zion Lodge.
Here are some other exciting activities inside and outside the park:
Type of trip: Hiking, walking, sightseeing, swimming
Best ages: 6 and up
Ideal trip length: Four to five days
Distance: St. George, UT (40 miles), Cedar City, UT (60 miles), Las Vegas (158 miles), Salt Lake City (306 miles)
Best time to go: Spring and fall, when temperatures are moderate and crowds are light.
Weather: 73/36 degrees in spring, 100/66 summer, 78/49 fall
Lodging: Park lodging (hotel and motel rooms, individual cabins) is popular and sells out quickly. The town of Springdale at the entrance to the park has a larger variety of accommodations, including camping grounds, lodges, and bed and breakfasts. Make your reservations at least three months in advance.
Squirm factor: None
Zion National Park. Exit 40 off I-15, Springdale, UT, 435-772-3256.
Zion ATV Tours. 7 miles east of the park entrance, 800-293-5444.
Horseback Riding. Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort, 800-293-5444. Open March through December.
Grafton Ghost Town. Grafton, UT.
Contact: Go-Utah Travel Guide.
Favorite local spots: Zion Pizza and Noodle Company, 868 Zion Park Blvd., Springdale, UT, 435-772-3815. This is the place for great pizzas and pastas. In summer, expect a long wait for a prime table on the patio.
Best souvenirs: An official engraved Zion National Park walking stick broken in on the Narrows. Available in different sizes at the Zion Lodge shop.
Traffic alert: From April through October, vehicular traffic is not permitted in the park. Leave the car at the visitor center and take the shuttle.
Mother Nature must have been thinking "eye candy" when she created Bryce Canyon, just 86 miles northeast of Zion. This national park is a magical land of red rock amphitheaters, arches, and hoodoos -- eroded sandstone pinnacles -- which seem to have popped out of a fairy tale.
Just 18 miles long and 6 miles wide, it's also tiny compared to Zion's 229,000 square miles, making it a good day trip. You can see it all by car, or take an easy hike down into the amphitheaters (it's the trek back up that'll have you huffing and puffing). Our favorite walks:
The park's elevation (about 2,000 feet higher than Zion) keeps it delightfully cool in summer. But bring a warm jacket in spring; temperatures can drop into the low 30s and 20s. Off State Road 63 South, 435-834-5322.

So, we have promoters who made the right move and pit two top American fighters together.
Am I wrong in thinking that the styles of boxers have more to do with boxing dying than greedy promoters like Arum?
Am I wrong in thinking that the styles of boxers have more to do with boxing dying than greedy promoters like Arum?
I don't know. But the correct call was made in doing this unification fight. The promoter and matchmaker can't help it if a fight comes out "average." Spinks-Braxton was supposed to be great in 1983, turned into a chess match, the same with most of Hagler-Duran. At least the unifications are happening and boxing culminating to unify the belts is what this sport needs.
We are seeing fighters with less killer instinct than in the past, and fighters who would rather cruise to an easy decision rather than go for a KO. Sometimes, especially fighters who are fighting in the other guys backyard and they DON'T just go out there and try for a KO in the last round, than act so fucking surprised when a close decision goes against them.
You want boxing action? General public fans want KO's. They want wars. No disrespect intended to the great boxing legends, such as Pep, Whitaker and Ali. (Ali was a master showmen, but I think that many of his fights were not that exciting.) His greatest war was Frazier III.
People want KO's and vicious action: Chacon, Gomez, Pryor, Arguello, Gatti, Ward, Morales. There is nothing wrong with masterful boxing. Nothing at all. However, let's be honest. Tactical boxing matches with say Mayweather W. 12, W.12. W.12. W.12 just don't sell tickets to the general public. The reason why Mayweather-Pacquio is the biggest little fight out there, is because people want to see Mayweather in a war, In a pressure situation. And also to see Floyd get his ass kicked.
Two ring technicians together, just does not get general populations excited about boxing. You almost have to have one guaranteed brawler, or two guaranteed brawlers, or have one or two fighters meeting together as Olympic darlings or master showmen (Ali, Leonard.) Or a long-standing bitter hatred that the fighters have for each other and they actually produce great fights, knowing with a reasonable degree of certainty, when they meet in the ring, sparks are almost certain to fly.
Lately instead of getting two warriors together, boxing has been getting two Michael Nunns together! LOL! And that type of "ring generalship" is never going to generate interest.

The Herald Bulletin
ANDERSON — There will be even more "money" than usual at Hoosier Park Casino this weekend as rock 'n' roller Eddie Money will be in the house performing two sold-out Saturday evening shows.
Money is embarking on a new adventure next month as his autobiographical musical, "Two Tickets to Paradise," comes to life.
In a recent phone interview, Money talked about how the musical came to fruition
"Two Tickets to Paradise," which he dubs as his bread-and-butter song, along with songs from his 15 albums recorded during his career will be presented June 4-14 at Dix Hills Performing Arts Center at Five Towns College in Long Island, N.Y.
Money, a member of the Long Island Music Hall of Fame, which boasts members like Louis Armstrong, Count Basie, Carole King, Mariah Carey, Neil Sedaka, Neil Diamond, Joan Jett, KISS and Barbra Streisand, would like for his family's sake to get that invitation to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio.
"It would be very nice for my kids, it's very important to them,'' Money said. "This play about my life is my swan song," said Money, who said he might plan to retire if he played a better game of golf.
Money will narrate the premier performances with the hope that even in a sagging economy the show might be picked up by Broadway.
"What started out as a hobby has now turned into a job,'' said Money, referring to the musical. "It is a lot of script to learn, I wish I hadn't written so much."
The story goes back in time to the '60s during the Vietnam War when Money decides to quit the New York Police Department to head to California hoping to make it big in the rock and roll industry.
Money scored hits in the '70s with "Baby Hold On" and "Two Tickets to Paradise" before following that all-too-familiar road that many musicians have traveled — the one of self-destruction and drug addition.
After an almost fatal overdose he made a comeback in the 1980s with the album "No Control," which went platinum with hits "Shakin," "Think I'm in Love" and "Take A Little Bit."
Money, who turned 60 in late March, and his wife, Laurie, are the parents of five children, ranging in age from 14 to 23. All show an interest in music but Money's quick to point out that they need more than just music to make it. His son, Joe, will graduate this year and head to Berkeley School of Music this fall.
"He needs to be a club musician for a while and get a business major," Money said.
The veteran rocker still tours the "oldies" circuit with nearly 100 shows a year and has made appearances on "The Drew Carey Show" and "Kings & Queens," where he forged a friendship with Kevin James.
If the musical doesn't work out the way he planned, he's still got other music projects to move ahead with. He's recently recorded in Nashville with John Ford Coley and Vince Gill. Plans are still materializing for him to work on another song with Toby Keith, and an album is planned with country versions of several of his hit songs.
If Money is serious about wanting to play a better game of golf like his buddy Huey Lewis, he might want to consider asking some advice from newfound friend Gill, who, just this past weekend, hosted his 17th annual The Vinny Pro-Celebrity-Junior Invitational to benefit youth golf.
If You Go
What: Eddie Money in concert
When: Saturday, May 23
Time: 7 and 10 p.m. (both shows sold out)

EA to revamp Mac games library
By Mark Raby - Source: Tom's Hardware | 0 comment
This summer, EA will bring Command & Conquer 3, Battlefield 2142, Need For Speed Carbon, and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix to the Mac OS X platform for the first time.
The new Mac-centric initiative comes from a new partnership between EA and TransGaming, a technology firm specializing in software portability engines.
TransGaming's most recent development, the Cider engine, makes it much easier for programmers to port PC applications to the Mac. Cider "will dramatically decrease the time it will take to bring EA's hit portfolio of games to a thirsty Mac market," said TransGaming CEO Vikas Gupta in a GamesIndustry.biz quote.
EA said it will bring more catalog PC titles to the Mac in the months to come. In addition, the upcoming releases of EA's Madden NFL 08 and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 will be released for the Mac and PC on the same day.

Ad revenues from this weekend's Super Bowl commercials were worth hundreds of millions of dollars, but how much bang did advertisers get for their buck?
30 second spots went for $4 million a pop, all in an effort to create buzz about the companies behind them.
While some went for humor, and others tugged at the heart strings, ad executives say the entry from GoDaddy.com, joining 'sexy' and 'nerdy' in an uncomfortable lip-lock, was supremely successful.
"They had a concept that maybe was not the most tasteful, but it got a lot of buzz," says LOVE Advertising's Thomas Guerrero. "People were talking about in at the water cooler the next day. It was disturbing; it was gross, but people are talking about it."
For all the money spent on advertising, execs say the catchiest ad may have been the cheapest, when Oreo Cookies tweeted during the game's power outage: "You Can Still Dunk in the Dark."

Had a pint on-site. Take the Gnaw Bone Ale and dial up both the grains and the hops to American IPA strength and you have Super Fly IPA. Big malt back-bone supports the 70 IBU's of Cascades. Wonderfully smooth beer. Light copper in color, and fairly clear. Fresh cascades in the aroma and flavor. Both the malt and hops carry through into the aftertaste balanced toward the hops. I was burping Cascades the rest of the night, but it was worth it. You hop heads will really like this beer.

Tried this beer during a visit to the Oaken Barrel. Pours a light amber color with a moderate head and decent lacing and leaves a little lacing on the glass. The aroma has a little caramel, and some pine and grapefruit hints. The taste was a good push of malt with good tones of hops towards the back end. It is a nice hybrid between a true English IPA and its Western counterparts. The mouthfeel is medium to full with subtle carbonation. Very good beer.

I picked this up yesterday at their brewery in Greenwood. The girl there always does a great job of filling my growlers all the way up the neck. Nice people there and good food, check them out.
Appearance: Nice light amber color, quite orange like. Actually, the describe it as "Scarlet orange". You can just tell this one is sticky as you're pouring it. This starts out with a thick white frothy head; one that I probably caused to be too large as I let it out of the growler too fast. It died down over time but maintained enough head to leave a nice lacing on my glass.
Smell: Strong floral hops in the nose. The smell of the Super Fly let's you know you're in for a sweet, sticky treat. Many people tell me they get a grainy malty smell out of this more than hops but I disagree. I can pick out the floral, citrusy hop as being the predominant flavor rising out of this.
Taste: Very bitter up front with a nice mellow sweetness following. The finish is even more bitterness. You can tell they packed the tank with hops on this one. If you're a hop head you will not be disappointed by this. If you don't like hops then you should steer clear! The sweetness that comes through is the malt that they have in there although it almost seems like there should be a little more to balance the massive amounts of hops. But then again it wouldn't be a hop heads dream if they did that! To be transparent with you I've had this beer before... many times. It's my typical Thursday $5 growler refill choice at the OB and one I enjoy several times a month. When I share this with friends who have before claimed themselves as hop heads they thought this beer was way too hoppy and way too offensive to their palate. Unfortunately this may have ruined them because they're stock on darker lagers and browns. Don't let that steer you away though! Stop in for a pint today!
Mouth feel: Thick and sticky. A sticky lingering actually hangs out around your mouth as if you just ate some hop pancakes with hop syrup on them. Cold hop syrup at that ;) This is the exact kind of mouthfeel a hop head would enjoy.
Drinkability: It's pretty easy to sit back and knock down a half gallon of this. The 7.5% ABV however may have you second guessing that choice. "May" ;) Just know that after one or two of these you probably shouldn't drive. Other than that drink up, not you typical session beer but one that you can have several pints of before going to bed being ready to move on to the next style.

S: Mostly floral followed by some herbal grassy hops. No citrus really aside from grapefruit and then some pine. there is also some caramel and toasted characteristics
T: Wow this is bitter. Definitely much more towards the english style IPA but it is drinking a pine cone. There is also plenty of bitter grapefruit notes and some caramel character. I do enjoy heavily hopped beers but this one could use a bit more balance
M: Good body and clean feel, no heat and it goes down pretty easy.
D: I am glad i have a friend to help me with the growler because a second glass was all could handle

Poured from growler....thanks for this surprise Lukafer!
A- Poured a light hazed golden copper color. One finger white head that has terrible retention and dies down almost as soon as it rised. Nice sticky lacing on the sides of the glass.
S- Nice floral hops in the front end of the aroma. Some light caramel malts mixed in with a light toast aroma. Some light citrus and piney hops toward the backend of the beer.
T- Nice bitter hop bite with a light floral hop in the front end. Good caramel malt backbone under the hops with a hint of toast. Citrus hop in the middle turns into a big bitter hop bite on the backend. Alcohol is a apparent on the ending but the bitter hops kill it off.
M- Medium mouthfeel. Carbonation was a little lacking but nothing that made or breaked the beer. Hops and more hops crushed the palate and well into the aftertaste. Drying on the palate with each sip. Flavors overall were blended well but still a little one sided with all the bitter hops.
D- This was a interesting beer that I enojyed a lot. Oaken Barrel seemed to be a little lack luster to me but this beer has given me a new hope with them. Very good and I shouldn't have split the growler because I was sad once it was gone.

A very nice IPA. Head is a little weak. Color is medium copper. Flavors of light citrus, strong piney flavor, good malt background. It's a satisfying IPA - a nice find in the midwest. But then, as one goes east, braumeisters seem to have a more sensible attitude about hopping.

Some complex hop notes - tremendously floral, with clover blossom and honeysuckle aroma, overlaying some reserved citrus flavor. Moderate malt, a little sharp and acidic toward the finish, which was clean. Overall this is nicely done and quite drinkable.

Thanks to John for the kind hook-up.
Clear, copper with a rocky eggshell cap that leaves plenty of crusty lace on the glass. The aroma is excellent with plenty of piney and citrusy hop notes with some caramel cube malt. Big, fresh hop flavors of pine sap, grapefruit rind and a tobacco-like spiciness with a toasty caramel malt backbone. Medium bodied with smooth carbonation. I dig this beer and I believe that the brewers at OB are really starting to get the beer flavor dialed in on this one, this may very well be the best IPA from Indy.

This is one of my go to IPA's--in fact I keep a keg of this in my kegerator on a regular basis.
Appearance - Lovely dark orange color-a thing of beauty. Lacing throughout is very intricate.
Smell - Initial aroma is not overpowering, but the citrusy hops are evident throughout.
Taste - This is not a monster hop bomb, but the bitter flavors are well balanced. For 7.5%, it hides the alccohol well and drinking several of these in one sitting can be quite easy.
Mouthfeel - Starts off thick and rich, but finishes with a citrusy tartness. Delicious from the start to the end of the glass.
Drinkability: This is a very drinkable IPA, which is why I keep bringing it back to the kegerator. Usually like to rotate all the different IPA's, but this has become a constant companion. Great value when compared to the other great IPA's out there. Be sure and check it out if you are in the area.

Served on tap at the brewpub.
Pours a nice amber/red color with about nice looking head on it and that leaves some decent lacing on the glass.
Smells of a weaker IPA. Earthy with grass tones and very slight citrus smell if you really get your nose it.
The smell does not represent the taste though. The citrus and pine flavors really come through while drinking it.
Mouthfeel is pretty good with mild carbonation.
Drinkability is very good for about any occassion. A very good IPA overall and above the norm.

Pours a brilliant bright red color with a big bright white head. The aroma is loaded with citrus. The taste is a wonderful blend of citrusy hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied and amply carbonated. Overall, this is a great IPA. One of the best I've had to date.

On tap at the JW Marriott in Indianapolis.
Served in a shaker pint, the beer is dark copper with a skim of off-white head. Sheets of lacing as you work your way through the beer.
It has an aroma of pine and caramel malts. It is an old school inviting smell.
Nicely bitter, some pine based bitterness some semi sweet malts for balance. I liked how the bitterness becomes more concentrated mid glass.
It is slightly oily and a bit mouth coating.
All-in-all, a solid ipa that hits the right notes for me.

2nd-generation Islanders love story
A great piece by Justin Bourne at Chris Botta's blog, with an enticing offer: the price of one wedding for the "breeding rights" to the offspring of two Islanders legends. Take it, Mr. Wang! 2.5 picks for the price of one wedding? It's a steal! [Romance aside, the description of Gillies and his Newfies is priceless.]

Public survey: Ranking environmental priorities in Oak Ridge
The Department of Energy's citizens advisory group in Oak Ridge is seeking public input on environmental concerns and issues. The Site Specific Advisory Board is asking area residents (and, presumably, other interested parties) to fill out the six-question survey and provide feedback on what's important and what's not so much. Actually, not all of the questions are environmental issues, but the SSAB apparently wants to get a little broader feedback than just cleanup priorities (including questions on economic development and historic preservation).
Here is the survey link. Have at it.

I liked a lot of what I saw on defense tonight. There were also a few things I really did not like. It really hurt having Toler get hurt. But hit the jump and see if you agree or disagree with what I saw.
1. the cushion we gave in the secondary. I know we will be zone blitzing a lot because that's what Lebeau does in Pitt. But I felt we gave way to big a cushion in our zones. It felt like our corners were playing about 10 yards off the LOS all game giving free releases to the panthers receivers. We missed Toler more then I thought we would and I do not feel like Peterson is ready to start at corner yet. Marshall played great and I hope he sees more minutes on the outside and we see Peterson in the slot/nickel more.
2. our one on one moves while blitzing. We blitzed a lot this game (more on that in the 'likes' section), but rarely got early pressure on Newton. It felt like we rarely had clean wins 1 on 1 while blitzing. that is a big issue in my opinion. we need to win those battles and get early pressure.
3. Beanie falling down- he seems to slip an awful lot. is this just me or are you guys seeing this as well?
I feel that issues 1-2 are what allowed Newton to go over 400 yards and a couple of scores.
1. We finally are playing the kind of ball that I think whiz has wanted since he got to the desert. We finally have a nice bunch of TE's. They can stretch the field (Heap, Houlser)and block (Dray, King). side note: I think king is going to be real nice for us, poor mans heath miller. these TE's allow us to stack the line and play some power football. as seen by Wells beautifully in the first half (10-77(ish) yards, TD). That is a very nice first half. our offense looked really good all game. only a few 3 and outs, some nice long drives with a few big plays sprinkled in there (Fitz, Doucet, Beanie).
2. That Horton brought the pressure without giving up big runs. He said they want to stop the ballcarrier on their way to the QB, and they did that. We absolutely stuffed the panthers running game. And we did it while we were blitzing. I think our front 3 (CC, DD and DW, and their backups) had a great game. they were really active got good penetration and made some plays. I would have liked to see the pocket collapse a bit more as newton was able to step up a lot and most pressure came off the edge. I loved that we blitzed a lot and that they were unpredictable blitzes. Bill Davis called the most vanilla blitzes at the most predictable times. Horton brought pressure a lot and I loved it. I do not feel the pressure left us exposed on the back end that much, but that the big plays and hundreds of yards were because we gave to big a cushion with our DB's
3. Long Drives- Between Kolb and Beanie we actually had some long drives that would have led to points except Feely missed and Beanie/Kolb fumbled. We had great time of possession numbers in the 1rst half but between Doucet and Peterson having long scores, our D played a lot in the second.
4. Beanie was a beast- he finally ran angry. His career mirrors McFadden's a bit. Showed promise, got hurt and now is poised for a breakout season. I am expecting him to go for about 1300 all purpose yards and 12 TD's.
5. Kolb- was the real deal. good decisions, accurate, big plays, extended drive. Huge upgrade at the most important position in sports.
Go Cards and Horton better fix that back end quick. I might shart in my pants if if Newton and Rex "i'm gross'man shred our D.

Waukesha County Executive Dan Vrakas announced this week for the new building on the is expected to begin next year.
The county's five-year capital plans allow for the county to plan and budget for major capital projects including buildings and roads.
Some changes were made in the Health and Human Services building Capital Plans project via County Board ordinance last week to take advantage of an estimated $500,000 in savings due to the current favorable bidding climate. Waukesha County received favorable bids for the Health and Human Services Building and can coordinate and procure materials this fall allowing for a strong construction start next spring.
The Waukesha County Board of Supervisors will review the entire 2012 budget in late September with final passage expected in November. The entire capital plan was released Thursday.
About 40 percent of five-year capital projects plan is dedicated to highway improvements. These projects include the expansion of County Trunk Highway (CTH) VV (Silver Spring Drive) and the construction of the second phase of CTH L (Janesville Road). The plan also addresses the widening of the second phase of CTH M (North Avenue) between CTH YY (Pilgrim Road) and Calhoun Road, with construction slated to begin in 2019, and the construction of the Waukesha West Bypass, under a Memorandum of Understanding with the State Department of Transportation, with construction slated to begin in 2012.
This information was provided to Patch from Waukesha County Executive Dan Vrakas' office.

Police say it happens nearly every night. Drivers are racing other drivers at speeds well over 100 miles an hour on Tampa Bay bridges.
Tampa Police Lt. Steven Lee says a recent wreck involving illegal racers and a Tampa Police cruiser highlights the problem.
Related story: 08/12/2013 Street racing leads to Courtney Campbell crash
"They're going to kill themselves or they're going to kill some innocent person," said Lee. "It's too dangerous. They need to find a racetrack, a legal racetrack, if they want to race."
Despite the risks, Lee says dozens of thrill seekers regularly gather for illegal races on the Courtney Campbell, Gandy Bridge, and 22nd Street Causeway.
"We're not ignoring the problem. It's just gotten so big that it's turned into a tradition," explained Lee. "We'll just keep hitting them in the pocketbook. We'll impound their cars, and eventually, they're going to realize it's not worth it to be out racing on the weekends."
Florida street racing penalties were changed years ago from speeding tickets to first-degree misdemeanors. Lee said a major challenge is, street racers tend to bounce around between different jurisdictions when police are out enforcing the racing laws.
"We'll scare them to the 22nd Street causeway out to HCSO's area. They'll kick them out of there. They'll go to St. Pete and the Gandy and it's just a real big viscous circle," he said.
The service manager at Cars and Concepts, Inc. in Tampa says they get lots of requests from drivers with a need for more speed. He warns those looking for adrenaline rushes, to take the responsible route and stick to race tracks and drag strips.
"There's more at stake than just winning the race," said Matthew Hayes. "You're putting people's lives at stake, as well as your own, when they're running that kind of stuff."

ERUNT - The Emergency Recovery Utility NT
At times even running system restore wont solve your problems, for various reasons.
So Erunt gives you an option to create an automated daily backup of your registry at logon.(and restore it manually when necessary)
ERUNT and NTREGOPT in their current versions 1.1j are still compatible with Windows 7, but as in Vista, they will only work correctly if you turn off User Account Control in Windows' Control Panel (move the slider to the lowest position).

Florida's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate declined to 8.5 percent for the month of October, the lowest since December 2008. The state also experienced positive job growth of 12,100 new private sector jobs, while the October 2012 rate was 1.7 percentage points lower than the year-ago rate of 10.2 percent. Since December 2010, the state's unemployment rate has dropped 2.6 percentage points and 174,500 private sector jobs have been created.
"In October, 12,100 more Floridians found employment in the private sector and the incomes that allow them to provide for their families, particularly with the holidays approaching," said Governor Rick Scott. "We are creating an environment that fosters job creation, economic development and provides a skilled workforce. My number one goal is to create jobs for Florida families and get this state back to work. There is still more work that needs to be done, but I'm confident we're on the right path."
More Jobs Being Created
Economic Growth Trends Up Across State
Unemployment Continues to Decline
Workforce Boards Assisting in Employment
"The collaborative efforts between DEO and our workforce partners across the state continue to produce positive results in both finding opportunities for job seekers and providing them the resources they need to be successful in their new positions," said Department of Economic Opportunity Executive Director Hunting F. Deutsch. "We are always looking for new and innovative ways to put Floridians back to work and provide a skilled and talented workforce to every employer interested in moving, expanding or starting their business in Florida."

I've been a fan for about 40 years, I don't live in Maryland, but I try to get to one game a year. I was there for game 2130 and 2131, I selected my confirmation name after my favorite Oriole pitcher, I got thrown out of an upscale hotel bar when Jeffrey Mayer interfered with Tony Tarasco, etc. What I am saying is that I have been a fan for a long, long time.
However, I became apathetic over the past few years when it became obvious to me that the principal owner was not as interested in fielding a competitive team than he was in cashing the checks. I am sure that I am not the only O's fan who feels this way.
Now my question is this: If I am caught up in the excitement of this scrappy O's team, would that be jumping on the bandwagon? I can see both sides of the answer. No, you earned the right to enjoy 1st place on Sept 7th. and Yes, you gave up on the team in their tough times (I didn't really give up on them, I just did not feel any excitement about the playoff possibilities in April).
Your thoughts?

What about input and interactive programming in AJAX?
You may be familiar with HTML forms and processing input at the server upon the click of a button. Using AJAX, you can do much more than that. You don't have to depend upon form submissions. You can listen to a whole selection of events. This includes events on the familiar FORM elements, but is not restricted to them.
In this exercise, we will be listening to mouse clicks that occur on our good old "Hello, World" text itself.
To do this, we just need to override a method named "
that's provided for
HtmlPara objects. This
can be done right at the declaration of "para".
HtmlPara para = new HtmlPara( this, "text" ) { protected void onClick() { System.out.println( "Click!" ); } };
That's it, make this change, and give it a try (Note: When you change and recompile a Java class, just refreshing the page in the browser will load your new version.)
If everything is fine, then everytime you click on the para, you should see an output in the Tutorial Server's output window. (Of course, if you have done the previous exercise, you would have to make sure to catch the Hello, World text first!)
All event handling in Jaxcent is like this, by overriding methods. Mouse and button clicks are important for various user interactions. Also important are page load and unload events. We have been doing output in the constructor, but in the constructor, we cannot receive the value or attributes of a tag. For that, we must wait until the page has been loaded in the browser and connected to Jaxcent. Such things can be done in the page load handler.
Page unload handler is important for cleanups.
You may have noticed that the output window in your Jaxcent Tutorial Server shows exception stack traces like this one whenever you close your browser window or point it to some other location:
Exception in thread "Thread-1040" jaxcent.PageUnloadedError: Page has already unloaded at jaxcent.JaxcentPage.sendPageQuery(JaxcentPage.java:1753) at jaxcent.JaxcentHtmlElement.setStyle(JaxcentHtmlElement.java:198) at tutorial.HelloWorld$HelloThread.run(HelloWorld.java:32)
It is now time to get rid of these stack traces!
What is happening is that you have a thread that starts in the page
constructor. When the user closes the browser window, or navigates
away from the HelloWorld url, the page unloads. After the page has
unloaded, Jaxcent throws a
This has the effect of terminating your thread. This works, but is obviously not very graceful!
For a controlled graceful termination of the thread, we can take advantage of the page unload handler. This handler is provided by the jaxcent.JaxcentPage class, so we can override it in our HelloWorld class.
protected void onUnload() { }
We need to have some boolean variable which is initially set to true. The page unload handler sets it to false. The thread checks this variable, and when it is set to false, stops its main loop.
In addition, we can interrupt the thread by calling
after setting the boolean variable. This will wakeup the thread from
a sleep state.
This makes for a nice tidy shutdown of our thread. In some cases there may be windows where the Error may still be raised, but we don't need to worry too much about such situations because in the worst case, the thread will still be terminated by the error being thrown!
Exercise: Add the click handler and the page unload handler and verify these are working. Then add a handle for page loading. In this handler, get the inner HTML for the para and print out the inner HTML. (If you try doing this in the constructor, you will get an exception.)
|Next Step: Adding a new page

I've never done a haul before... probably cause I really don't buy stuff that often. but today my mom and I went to Michael's (and I drove!) and found clearance yarn, so I thought I'd share. we intentionally went to Michael's so I could pick up some yarn I've been wanting to make a blanket with. it's kind of crazy, but I've never actually crocheted a blanket before. I've quilted one. but never crocheted. I'll letcha know more about my blanket once I actually start crocheting it. ;)
it looks sort of like a regular size bag, but it's actually the biggest bag they have. hah! I've never in my life bought so much yarn at one time (8 skeins).
here's what I went for - Bernat Softee Baby and Loops and Threads Snuggly Wuggly. I'm making this blanket. they were all $5 each, which is a little pricey, but I really love the colors. I'm hoping I can get away with one skein each (I'm just making a lap blanket) but we'll see.
and here's my impulse buy:
5 skeins of yarn... but seriously, at 95 cents each, how could I not? (one of those was even 88 cents.) I tracked down the original brands and found out they were all either Loops and Threads Impeccable or Vanna's Choice. I thought these colors would make a pretty scarf. :) I don't buy stuff just because it's a good deal (I even ended up putting some yarn that was $5 off back because I couldn't think of anything to make it with) but this I know I'll have super fun with.
overall the total price was a little over $17. I went on their website a few days ago looking for a coupon, but was a total idiot and forgot one today. but my mom had her 15% off teacher card, so that bumped the price to $17 instead of $20.
anyways... more hauls - yay or nay?
