Say what you will about Shanna, but she knows how to create dramatic tension. Before she poured fuel on the fire and drinks on Kim K., she ignored her foe in classic caddy lady style. The video was shot at the Carmen Electra party at the DKNY Jeans Beach House in Malibu.
this was before their fight right? becasue reggie is at training camp in mississippi.
Wow, I can't understand how a woman in her 30s can have her breasts drooping to her elbows.
She needs a BREAST LIFT.
Breast lift is not a breast augmentation a.k.a. boob-job, it's a procedure where a plastic surgeon tightens woman's chest muscles and lifts her drooping breasts higher. But I think women are usually much older when they need a breast lift.
Note to Shanna.... Rule #1: If you're going to be childish and call someone with a hot beautiful body like Kim fat, you better be thin and have a great body yourself. Sorry, but this is one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard, especially after seeing this video. The more this girl runs her mouth, the more stupid she looks.
Kim doesn't need to respond anymore to this childish junk. Kim has one of the most beautiful and perfect bodies around, which is evident by the magazines and website hits that she sells. Kim you're obviously the more mature one here, so take the high road. You're already coming out of this smelling like a rose. This girl won't be able to help herself and she'll keep talking and looking more and more ridiculous with every stupid word that comes out of her mouth!
Shanna looks like a plain jane, all saggy. Girl you're in Hollywood go to DR Ray a get a boob lift. Kim look very sexy and reggie looks a million times better thn Travis....
"Ray J c um in my mouth"
I hope my daughter does not grow up to idolize kim
Who gives a damn about these two idiots, they are not even z-list celebrities. Please enough with them already
I think its funny that Shanna called Kim fat.....cause she looks NASTY in this video clip. Fat, milky skin, national geographic boobs...she just looks like white trash. I am SURE that Travis was more interested in Kim then Shanna! I mean...what guy would want to be married to a fat, jealous, violent (remember she is a mother) old piece of trash like that. Honestly, what female over the age of 18 gets in physical altercations? She needs to take that back to the trailer!
Travis can do so much better and SHE KNOWS IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Some of those people look like damn fools bouncing to the music. And Shanna looks like CRAP! She needs to get her boobs fixed, or roll them up and put them into something supportive, if she wants to keep Trav's attention. Besides, isn't she at least a good 10-15 years older than that whore, Kim? Old ho's just can't keep their mouth's shut about younger ho's. Can they? Take Wam Panderson calling Jessica Simpson's t-shirt a Bitch, for instance. Aren't older woman supposed to set an example for the younger women. Oh, right. I guess that is what they are doing! That part of earth is infiltrated with some of the STRANGEST people on the planet!

I think Shanna is beautiful especially after having children but agree that instead of slamming all of these "ladies" all of time and acting a fool in public that she should start taking it up with her man!
Kim is pretty as well but seems like such a spoiled brat that I do not find her very likeable.
OOOOOOOO Shanna can't possibly have thought she looked good at that party! She looks like the pastey-white, over weight, saggy boobed chaparone at a high school pool party. She looks like CRAP. She had better watch her mouth - cause she's just making herself look completely foolish!
Holy ski slopes! Shanna might want to find a bathing suit with a little more support in it.
SHANNA i'LL BET THAT YOUR FUN BAGS WERE A LOT TIGHTER BEFORE YOU TURNED 40 SOMETHING. YOU SHOULD HARNESS THOSE GIRLS BEFORE YOU HURT SOMEONE.
25. OOOOOOOO Shanna can't possibly have thought she looked good at that party! She looks like the pastey-white, over weight, saggy boobed chaparone at a high school pool party. She looks like CRAP. She had better watch her mouth - cause she's just making herself look completely foolish!
Posted at 3:53PM on Jul 25th 2008 by Seriously
I am a Latina (so I have some color to me - lol) but I would rather be pasty white any day than be dark like Kim and just a shade away from the color of sh!T! LOL - what am I saying - pi$$ and Sh!T go together for this W H O R E!
Kim is swarthy, cottage cheezy and fake all over - I wonder fs she still smells like Ray J's Pi$$ ...... with that lardy and flabby azz of hers - Pi$$ smell is all over her!

Weight Loss & Diet Plans
Weight-Loss Tip: Add Extra Calcium to a Low-Fat Diet
April 17, 2000 -- Got milk? New research suggests you should if you want to lose weight. The study shows that calcium -- three or four daily servings of low-fat dairy products -- can help adjust your body's fat-burning machinery.
The key is low-fat dairy sources, says lead author Hang Shi, a postdoctoral student in the Nutrition Institute at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. "High-fat dietary calcium can establish obesity, but it's surprising that low-fat calcium may help reduce body fat," Shi tells WebMD. "The effect is very significant, much more than we imagined it would be."
His paper on the effects of a high-calcium diet in increasing body fat loss was presented at the Experimental Biology 2000 meeting in San Diego.
"The magnitude of the findings was shocking," says Michael Zemel, PhD, director of the Nutrition Institute, who is Shi's co-author and doctoral supervisor.
In their past studies, Zemel and colleagues have shown that calcium stored in fat cells plays a crucial role in regulating how fat is stored and broken down by the body. It's thought that the more calcium there is in a fat cell, the more fat it will burn.
The researchers used mice bred to be obese in their current study. The mice were fed a special high-fat, high-sugar diet for six weeks. All had a 27% increase in body fat.
Some were then switched to a calorie-restricted diet. Of those, one group was given calcium supplements (calcium carbonate similar to Tums) and others were fed "medium" and "high" amounts of low-fat dry milk.
Body fat storage was markedly reduced by all three high-calcium diets, say the authors.
Those given calcium supplements had good results, when combined with the restricted-calorie diet. Mice getting their calcium via supplements had a 42% decrease in body fat, whereas mice eating without supplements had an 8% body fat loss.
However, calcium from dairy products produced the best results. Mice on the "medium-dairy" diet had a 60% decrease in body fat, while those on the "high-dairy" diet lost 69% body fat. Researchers also found very small increases in thermogenesis -- the body's core temperature -- which then enhances the effects of calcium gained through diet rather than calcium in supplement form, says Zemel.
"Calcium is no magic bullet. What the study says is that ... higher-calcium diets favor burning rather than storing fat. Calcium changes the efficiency of weight loss," Zemel tells WebMD.
The human body's metabolism makes weight loss difficult, he explains. "Many people who stick to a calorie-reduced diet don't lose weight as fast as they think they should. That's because they activate metabolic protection ... Their bodies sense starvation and hang on to energy -- fat -- more voraciously."
Too many dieters tend to immediately "jettison dairy foods from their diet, because they're just sure they're going to make them fat. In fact, they're shooting themselves in the foot, because they subject themselves to more empty-calorie sources. They would be better off if they would substitute high-fat dairy products with low-fat dairy," says Zemel.

Check your blower motor connection!
The blower motor in my 08 Forester (80k miles) stopped working this weekend without any previous indication of problems. After doing some troubleshooting I traced the problem back to the two-wire connector at the blower motor behind the glovebox. The connector was burnt, melted and the two wires leading to the connector had burnt insulation. One wire had completely broken right at the connector.
After searching the forum I found a couple other examples of this so I though I would throw my experience up here. Sorry for not posting pics, but I was in hurry to get the thing fixed.
I ended up buying two new female spade connectors and splicing in both heavier gauge wire AND an inline fuse.
There was A LOT of corrosion on the back side of each wire coming off the plastic connector. It looked to me like a manufacturing defect where the stripped wire leading to the spade connector inside the plastic clip was stripped too far and left exposed outside of the plastic connector. There was visible corrosion and fraying leading up to where the two wires go together back into the plastic loom. It appears that the stripped wires were allowed to be to close together as the wires led back into the plastic loom. Over time these wires probably began to short our and heat up further removing the insulation and finally causing the one wire to break opening the circuit. This looked like a combo shorting-out/fatigue type problem.
For some strange reason, this failure caused no blower motor resistor or fuse popping problems-- which is a bit mysterious as this problem is exactly what fuses are for right?
Looking back, I think the blower was not running as strongly as possible before the failure since it seems to be working extremely well after the rewire.
The reason I am posting this is to suggest that people look at this connector next time they replace their cabin air filter. I fear it might be a common problem and is easy to inspect with the glove box off. If you find the same over-stripped wires I found, you may be able to take the connector apart and add some heat shrink or tape before the problem gets too worse. Make sure the two wires leading away from the connector are well insulated and well seperated before being tied back together in the loom.
I don't even want to know how much a dealer would have charged to troubleshoot and fix this problem, as a new wiring harness pigtail would probably be required.
Next time you change your filter take a quick look and save yourself some problems down the road!!

1) Fiber Routes
Essentially, there are four (soon to be five) nationwide fiber networks.
Sprint built (or at least started) first, building fiber routes mostly along
Southern Pacific RR right-of-way. In the process of their build, Microwave
Communications Incorporated (MCI) and AT&T decided they better do the same.
Shortly after Sprint was in progress, the communications division of the
Williams Cos. (WilTel) had the brilliant idea to run fiber in abandoned
oil/gas pipelines (no, they did not run fiber down ACTIVE oil/gas
pipelines). Williams Co eventually sold (some or most?) of this asset to
LDDS (and along with other acquisitions), now known as WorldCom, Inc.
All of these players buy/sell/swap this fiber capacity between each other.
Recently, there has been a bit of a bandwidth crunch (I hope I don't have to
explain why to the folks on this list). Folks like Frontier had a little
trouble finding the necessary bandwidth to fuel their facilities-based long
distance business growth. Fed up with the limited supply and rising prices
(ECON 101), Qwest saw an opportunity to "build" versus buy. They are
proceeding to build the "fifth" nationwide fiber network.
Underlying any company who advertises their "own" nationwide network, sits
at least one of these providers.
2) Route Diversity
Each of these carriers (or at least the first four) offer route diversity,
for a premium price. If you order two circuits between the same locations,
you may get lucky and have them provisioned across separate fiber routes.
You can check this with the DLR. However, if you did not PAY for route
diversity, the carrier may very well groom them at a later time into the
same fiber path.
Ocassionally, folks will pay for route diversity, and yet the carrier STILL
grooms their circuits onto the same path (operations error, poor systems, or
just plain bad faith). If you pay for diversity, and don't get it, THEN you
have something to complain about (and a pretty good basis for credits, at
least). Otherwise, network grooms are SOP for IXC network facilities
Buying from two different carriers doesn't assure diversity, either. The
second carrier may provision your service over the first carrier's
facilities. Or, both carriers may share the conduit for their fiber run.
When a carrier provisions your service over another carrier's facilities,
there are likely to be coordination problems. How and if these issues get
resolved is beyond me.
3) Sprint's name
The Sprint we know today was basically created by the 50/50 joint venture
between United Telecom and GTE, the two largest independent local telephone
companies. United Telecom owned US Telecom, their long distance division.
GTE had recently bought a low-cost long distance company from SP
Communications, with which they formed GTE Sprint. The merger of these two
groups formed US Sprint. Later, United bought another 30% of the joint
venture, and later again, bought the whole company from GTE (which seems
funny now, since it looks like GTE will be having to buy its way into the
long distance business, again). Once United owned the whole company, United
dropped the "US" of US Sprint, and renamed the entire corporation, Sprint
(which is why all the local United Telephone companies are now Sprint).
It is true that SONET technology provides the capability for protection from
fiber cuts, with automatic reroutes along SONET loops. In order to
accomplish this, a carrier would have to keep 50% of their available
bandwidth on "hot standby". Because of the limited bandwidth supply/rising
prices, carriers find this a bit difficult to justify economically (how many
of you have 100% redundant facilities, and make money?).
If your carrier sells you on the automatic service restoration qualities of
their SONET deployment, you better get it in writing, and not just accept
what the sales person tells you. That way, when your DS3 goes down, you'll
at least have a bargaining position. The circuits that do reroute are
priority circuits, and unless you are the federal government or Fortune 50,
you are not likely priority.

I have the above from Post Office Broadband. After several attempts trying to update the 2009 firmware. I got the following reply from Zyxel support"If the current firmware on your P660HW-T1v2 router is 3.40(BGQ.3), you cannot upload the 340APR5C0.bin firmware file and vice-versa.There are no later firmware updates available after the 3.40(BGQ.3)"It seems Post Office do not want people updating it, despite there being newer firmware out there for this router. Please also see thread»UK Firmware for 661H-D1which I wanted to add to, but now closed.Hopefully this of use to someone. If anyone has found a workaround for this particular problem then let me know.
Welcome to BBR.That does not come as a surprise. My ISP uses the P-660R-D1 with V3.40(ANJ.3) 03/10/2009. I assume each ISP has ZyXEL create a custom version and unless there is a bug no reason to change.What problem are you trying to solve with the new firmware?/tom

The Best Girlfriend Getaways of 2013
Family vacations are great, but time away with you best friends is an emotional necessity, too. To make sure you pick a place worth your cash, we've scoured the country for the top spots to relax, bond and try new things (I.e. cocktails.) If you "forget" your phone in the room, we promise we won't tell.
By Meghann Foye
Just like its now-minted SXSW scene, Austin has a particularly awesome mix of forward-thinking start-up energy, indie-music cool, and bottomless margaritas. Even if you don't speak Southern Hipster perfectly, you can pick it up after a night or two at the W Austin in town. Then book a few nights at Travaasa Austin, located 30 minutes from downtown in the middle of Texas Hill Country. Part of the latest trend to provide a high-quality spa resort experience coupled with guided activity offerings, Travaasa Austin is a luxurious 50-50 mix of relaxation and adventure. For example, you can test your adrenaline reserves on its Outward Bound-designed Prickly Pear Challenge Course, or even develop a better sense of self-awareness through its popular equine encounters, then bring your brain waves waaay back down with a relaxing "On the Road Again" massage, in which, you guessed it, the famous Willie Nelson song is played while hemp oil calms your road-weary body.


text: Obama's Daughter Malia Will Soon Be Able to Receive Morning-After Pill by Javier Manjarres 1 May 2013 Share This: President Obama's liberal agenda and government overreach has reached a new low. Obama's Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is now allowing that the Plan B One Step morning-after-pill to be dispersed over-the-counter to minors that reach the ripe old age of 15. President Obama has supported Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius' decision not to sell Plan B to young women. But now Sebelius has flip-flopped on the issue stating," I support their (FDA) decision." Unfortunately, the over-the-counter accessible Plan B pill will not only put minors at risk of health related side affects associated with pill, but could lead minors to believe that this is an valid from of contraception. Will President Obama support his daughter Malia going to a drug store and being able to buy the morning after pill? After all, Malia does turn 15 years old on July 4th.

Jury finds Occupy Manchester trio guilty
The trio, Elizabeth Edwards, Elizabeth Grunewald and Matthew Richards, had refused to leave the park at the 11 p.m. curfew and were arrested by Manchester Police.
Defense attorney Barbara Keshen had sought a verdict of innocent, putting forward the concept of jury nullification. It's now law in New Hampshire that even if the state has provided evidence of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, jurors can find defendants innocent if in the jury's judgment it is a "fair result".
But the jury sided with the prosecutor, who defined jury nullification as: "It's okay to break the law."
The three were sentenced to 10 days in jail, deferred for one year of good behavior and completion of 90 hours of community service.
Keshen had argued that the Occupy Manchester participants were exercising their Constitutional rights of peaceable assembly and dialogue for redress of grievances.
Assistant Hillsborough County Attorney Charlene Dulac suggested to jurors that if they didn't find the defendants guilty, it would lead to the parks becoming centers for late night or overnight drinking, drugging and camping, with violence likely.
The three defendants, part of a much larger group that had been camping in Victory and later Veterans parks since Oct. 15, were engaging in political discussions and welcoming anyone who wanted to join them, offering food and other necessities.
Manchester Police Capt. Robert Cunha, who was the department's point person in dealing with the Occupy participants, testified they had moved temporarily to Victory Park so the department's Footrace for the Fallen could take over Veterans Park, how they had left Victory Park cleaner than it had been in years, and how they were respectful, reasonable and cooperative.
Cunha said the members of Occupy even offered to line up for police arriving at the park at 11 p.m. on Oct. 19, one line to accept citations and one line for arrests.
Keshen described the gathering in the park as an opportunity for people "to express their views and create a community."
She said they had a right, under the First Amendment, to "peaceably assemble to petition for the redress of grievances."
In Dulac's view, the issue was simple - the defendants were arrested as a result of the choices they made. "They were arrested for violating the criminal trespass law, " she said. "This wasn't part of the movement."

The work on offshore platforms, in mines, steelworks, shipyards or even under water is not carried out by machines alone! Everywhere, professionals are at work doing extremely difficult jobs under extreme operating conditions. Here is our second story "In at the deep end", a report on professional divers.
Give us your feedback! How did you like the article? What are your experiences with JDN products? We look forward to your comments and contributions and wish you good reading.
In at the deep end
"Professional diving is one of the only jobs in the world that take place almost exclusively in cold, dark, isolated, dangerous conditions," says a seasoned commercial diver. "Believe me, it takes nerves of steel, along with extreme endurance and fortitude, to handle some of tasks we encounter."
Clearly, commercial diving is not for the feint-hearted. Typical jobs in this sector include the maintenance or repair of oil and gas platforms, offshore wind farm turbines and ships that have failed at sea – the currents are strong, the visibility is poor and temperatures are often freezing or below. Where commercial diving takes place in warmer waters, other dangers lurk, not least the threat of shark attack.
Salvage operations on sunken vessels are another diving activity fraught with dangers. The vessel might be upside down or listing at a difficult angle. Often, ships will have sunk to the sea bed, where water pressures are high. The pressures involved at depth are well documented to have adverse effects on the ear drums, sinuses and lungs.
"Exploring inside a sunken ship is a journey into the unknown," says our diver. "Furniture and fixings will likely have moved, creating danger in unstable structures and confined spaces, while the shock of finding perished souls is extremely harrowing. Many diving fatalities are the result of a cascade of incidents that overwhelm divers."
Often, because of the depth, the job is performed in the dark, with only a headlamp to light the way. Many divers can recite stories of sudden encounters with manta rays, wolf eels, giant jellyfish and venomous octopi.
Military/Naval diving offers a number of different, equally dangerous specialisations. Typical activities include underwater demolition, defusing and clearing mines, and searching for explosive devices attached to the hulls of ships. This is on top of the salvage or recovery of ships, submarines and downed aircraft.
Inland or onshore diving is similar to offshore diving in terms of the nature of work and the equipment used. This type of diving is often in support of land-based civil engineering projects. Divers can be found working in harbours and lakes, on hydroelectric dams, in rivers and around bridges and pontoons.
In virtually all of these environments, one factor remains constant – the need for reliable equipment. Apparatus such as subsea hoists, for example, must be safe, rugged, rated for depth, and feature overload protection. Hoists should also deliver high performance sealing qualities, while valves must offer easy operation by gloved divers.
"A hoist not fit for purpose will place unnecessary strain on both the diving personnel and the task in hand," he says.
Ultimately, not everybody is cut out for this job. A diver must be well-disciplined and perceptive for he is likely to encounter a variety of unexpected hazards. Countless divers have worked previously in other dangerous careers – many are ex-military, or have worked as miners or firefighters.
"The best are those who have confidence in themselves and their abilities," says our wizened diver. "You have to have faith in the equipment you are using, and be willing to adapt to any situation. These are the things that keep us alive."

"My dumb cousin thinks the Chiefs have a chance. Derp"
Matt rolls into Saturday riding a PERFECT 2-0 record so far this week in CFB! He is showing a +$7,082 profit in CFB YTD and he extends it with NINE Big Winners! He follows up his OUTSTANDING 20-9 record in CFB the last 4 Saturdays while adding to his EPIC +$39,091 overall football run! How about a PERFECT 9-0 CFB Saturday SWEEP! Guaranteed!
Massachusetts is just 2-6 on the season but it is much better than that record shows. Four of those losses have been by five points or less including three by a field goal or less so a few breaks here and there and the record could be a lot better. The Minutemen won just one game in each of the past two seasons but have already surpassed those totals thanks to its current two-game winning streak. Defeating Kent and Eastern Michigan may not be overly impressive but both wins were blowouts and they outgained the two opponents by 141 and 282 yards respectively. Toledo is coming off its bye week following a loss at Iowa St. which snapped its three-game winning streak. The Rockets are now laying their biggest number of the season which I feel is unjustified against one of the better teams in the MAC that are getting a different perception by the public. They have been outgained on four of their six games against teams from the FBS as their defense has been horrendous. That is not a good sign for a Massachusetts team that is starting to hit its stride offensively, averaging 39.8 ppg over its last four games. We don't need the outright victory here as getting this many points against a horrific defense is a sure take. That defensive ineptness is backed up by a situation where we play on road underdogs in the second half of the season that are averaging between 5.6 and 6.2 yppl going up against teams allowing between 5.6 and 6.2 yppl. This situation is 31-7 ATS (81.6 percent) over the last five seasons. Play (149) Massachusetts Minutemen

I spend about 100 nights per year in Hotels for business. These folks have absolutely one of the best places I've ever stayed. The STAFF is what makes this place so awesome. These folks put the real thing into Hospitality. Every one was anxious to make our stay comfortable and so anxious to serve any need. We were ALWAYS acknowledged every time a staff member saw us and asked if there was any way anyone could assist us. Service here is top shelf.

The staff was incredible. I wanted to surprise my fiance with chocolates in the room when we checked in but she is lactose intolerant. The hotel said "no problem!" They gave us a non-dairy feast of epic proportions, even going to a local bakery to get some of the treats! We felt so well taken care of...absolutely fantastic!

The room was immaculate, fresh and updated. The lobby, cafe and upstairs lounge were also comfortable and well furnished. The grounds were beautifully manicured. We were able to come and go to the convention center without having to go outside. The tour through the Rain Forest was intriguing. Thank you for the efficient shuttle service. I wish we could have stayed longer.
The time it took to check-in was longer than average. The cafe waitress at breakfast was unacceptably slow to attend. Thankfully a bus boy stopped at our table to ask if we'd been helped, then went to get someone to get us menus. Our meals arrived barely warm. We had to ask for water during the meal also. The cafe service did not match the luxury of the rest of our stay.

The location is by far the best thing this resort has going for it. You can walk across the street to the beach. If you're on a higher floor you will have a direct view of the ocean, which is awesome.
The biggest downer was the air conditioning in the room. It worked poorly and leaked on the tile floor. Maintenance came twice to work on it and brought us a fan. Sleeping the first night was uncomfortable. The room was dated, in desperate need of a remodel. Bathroom was dingy with burned out lightbulb, nasty floor and silvering mirror.

The view was okay but not what I had reserved .
I did not get the room I had reserved a month ahead . They gave me a room with 2 small beds and a couch for the same price . We were told they would bring sheets and pillows so I could sleep on the couch . We rang the service desk but could not get an answer . The wife went down to the desk and the guy was just sitting there while the phones were ringing . He gave us a hard time about getting the sheets and pillows but after about a hour they finally brought them . 1 elevator was down so we used the stairs with a ton of other people . There was what I believe was mold on the stairs and handrails . All the ladies using it were pretty grossed out . I don"t think they should have the rating they have if this is the norm . I used the same hotel many years ago and this was a letdown to me and my family .

Cold A/C, comfortable beds, flat screen TV, table and chairs, microwave, fridge, etc. Standard room with functioning amenities. Will return based on location, and room and amenity quality.
One of the front desk personnel must've received their customer service training from a pit bull chewing on a wasp. The immediate, outright, disrespect was unmatched. When she brought up my reservation she said, "one double". I tried to clarify by asking if that meant two double beds and she said if I wanted two double that meant I wanted two rooms. Instead of explaining to her the concept of mattress sizes, I confirmed that there were two beds in the one room and paid. Got to the room and a bed was missing a comforter. Of course when I called, the same person answered. Instead of getting a comforter our rooms were switched. I asked if someone would bring the new key or if I needed to come get it, she shined again, "you can come get it". At least the person who handed me the new key was polite and apologetic whilst the other one stood in the background grimacing. Everything else after that went as planned. First hotel review ever but felt the need to do this one. Just because people choose a less expensive, non-seawall blvd hotel, it doesn't mean they deserve to be treated like sh*t. I would generally defend myself in these situations but we were in a hurry to meet up with our other party elsewhere for dinner. Based on her attitude, I think it would have just compounded the situation.

ARLINGTON — Riding an intense defense and dominating rebounding, the Arlington Lamar girls basketball team earned its first trip to the Class 5A Region I tournament after holding off Arlington Martin 39-33 on Tuesday at the Arlington High School gym.Lamar (21-8) will meet Hurst L.D. Bell in the regional semifinals Friday at TCU's Daniel-Meyer Coliseum.The Vikings, who trailed 16-13 at halftime, outscored District 3-5A rival Martin 26-17 in the second half, holding the Warriors (23-8) to one basket (at the buzzer) in the final 3:57. Lamar outrebounded Martin 44-24, and the Vikings scored a number of their points on second-chance baskets."Every possession counted in a game like this," Lamar coach Errin Levels said. "The defensive intensity and the crowd out there made it difficult for both teams."Lamar jumped out to a 5-0 lead, but Martin fought back to tie the score at 7-7 before the end of the first quarter. The Warriors took their first lead at 11-9 at the 5:24 mark of the second period. But the Vikings opened the second half with a 12-5 run, and took a 22-21 lead at 3:01 on a steal and layup by Dierra Ely, who led all scorers with 20 points. The Vikings then hit one of only two 3-pointers they made in the game when Dezirae Hampton (11 points) scored to extend the lead to 27-23 after three quarters.In the fourth, Martin cut the lead to two twice, and the Warriors were within 34-31 after an Emily Slagle layup and foul shot at 3:57. But the Warriors did not score again until the final seconds and Lamar held on for the win. Slagle finished with 13 points. "I'm excited for these girls," Levels said. "They're ready to set some new traditions for Lamar High School. It feels good."

Genre: Historical Romance
2003 Historical K.I.S.S. ('Knight In Shining Silver') Hero Award Nominee
When Marcus Kane, Lord Chadwick, is asked to protect an MP from assassination, he expects this to be a fairly usual mission—until he meets his "partner," Fanny Delarive, a streetwise hellion.
Since childhood, Fanny has roamed the rookeries of London's slums and survived. She's savvy, intelligent and a superb actress who can change roles and accents at the drop of a hat. She can be a pub house whore, a servant in an elegant ballroom, a flirting miss or a thieving boy, and she is just what Marcus needs, but not what he wants.
With wit and near-slapstick humor, Katherine Greyle creates a delightful story peopled with engaging characters (mostly the feisty children Fanny befriends), sizzling sensual tension and an exciting mystery. The pace

Head coach for Next Level Customised Coaching, Brendan Erskine, is managing a Spinning/Wind Training Studio in Albany. Previously called 'Urban Spin', recently it has been renamed as Next Level SPIN.
It is a great little studio that can accomodate up to 20 Indoor Cyclists. It is located at 15B Douglas Alexander Parade (next to the original Mozaik Cafe). It is set up with 11 new Spinning bikes and 10 Wind Trainers for those that would prefer to use their own bicycle.
Until recently Brendan was the Senior Spin Instructor for the Workshop Gym in Birkenhead. Brendan started the Spinning Programme there and built it over several years to achieving an excellent number of regular 'spinners' with challenging, fun and structured spin classes.
Brendan has also been been taking 90 minute Wind Training Classes for the North Harbour Triathlon Club (NZ's largest and most successful Triathlon Club).
You may or may not be aware that 'Spinning' is the first, the creator of group Indoor Cycling. A 'Spinning' class is generally set up as a 'journey' allowing you to visualise being on a particular ride. This particular ride may include components such as hills, sprints, fast flats, working on the front of the bunch etc.
As a spinning instructor Brendan will endeavour to ensure you are set up correctly on the bike and get the most out of the class no matter your level of experience and fitness. Music is set to accompany the ride, this adds to the experience and the enjoyment of the class. The music fits the tempo of the particular part of the ride and (perhaps more importantly!) is appropriate/enjoyable to the majority of people attending the class.
Most of the classes at Next Level SPIN will closely fit the spin model (as described above and are 45 minutes in duration), some of the classes will be longer and more structured, more the 'Wind Training' model for specific road cycling or triathlon training purposes.
The current timetable is:
Monday 6:30pm with Ross
Tuesday 6:30pm with Brendan
Wednesday 6am with Brendan
Thursday 6:30pm - Longer Class (75 minutes) with Brendan
Saturday 8am - Longer Class (60 minutes) with Brendan

Mariners agree to minor-league deal with right-hander Jon Garland
Veteran pitcher Jon Garland, 33, has agreed to a minor-league contract with the Mariners and has an invitation to spring training, pending a physical.
Seattle Times staff reporter
PEORIA, Ariz. — Jon Garland will be the latest veteran pitcher to attempt a comeback with the Mariners after a prolonged absence from baseball.
The Mariners agreed to a minor-league deal with Garland, 33, on Friday pending a physical that will give him a nonroster invitation to spring training. Garland hasn't pitched since undergoing shoulder surgery midway through the 2011 season with the Dodgers.
Seattle already has onetime Detroit Tigers starter Jeremy Bonderman, 30, invited to camp after not having pitched in the majors since 2010.
Garland began his career with the Chicago White Sox in 2000 and is 132-119 with a 4.32 earned-run average. He was invited to spring training with Cleveland a year ago but never took his physical, and the deal was canceled.
The Mariners will conduct a physical on Garland next week when pitchers and catchers arrive for spring training. The team will also conduct a physical on left-handed starter Joe Saunders, who agreed to a one-year deal for a reported $7 million plus incentives.
The Mariners won't announce the Saunders deal until the physical is done and they have also made a corresponding 40-man roster move.
A reported five-year, $135.5 million contract extension for Felix Hernandez — due to begin in 2015 — also has yet to be announced as the team irons out last-minute details.
Hernandez told a Venezuelan newspaper he won't pitch for Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic this spring.

Fair and Fowl
Try the Seafood, Stay for the Chicken
Sydnee De Mar
This location is closed
Years back, when I lived on South Broadway, there was a Caribbean place around the corner, on Baltimore Street, called Braznell's. I went there on a couple of occasions and recall good seafood dishes, such as conch chowder and a dish combining greens and tiny crabs. I especially remember a rum punch as deceptively alcoholic as it was delicious. Good thing I only lived around the corner.
The new tenants of this pretty three-story space, Sydnee de Mar, serve a pretty good mai tai, but the rum punch just isn't the same. The small menu pays homage to Southern cuisine, with success, and seafood, with mixed results.
Our night at the new joint gets off to a rocky start. When I called for a Friday-evening reservation for three, I was told I wouldn't need one. When C.C., our guest Andrea, and I show up, we are asked if we have a reservation. I relate my phone call, to which the hostess replies, "Oh, you don't need one. I was just asking if you had one." But when we are shown to a table in the pretty but small upstairs dining room, we end up at a two-seat table right next to the stairs. A third chair has to be added, putting Andrea in the flow of traffic and facing away from the pleasant view. I ask if we could move to one of several empty tables that afford less congestion and a better view but am told--you guessed it--that those tables are reserved.
Life goes on, so we get over it and select appetizers. Seafood Ya-Ya gumbo ($8) comes as two cups, one filled with dirty rice, the other containing a dark, spicy brew of shrimp and scallops (though the shrimp is small and we can't find the promised crab) with tomato, green onions, and herbs. I'm not sure you can call something that doesn't contain okra gumbo, but I like the Ya-Ya. (Andrea's take: The Ya-Ya is so-so.)
The Caesar salad ($6) is a bit below par, with slightly soggy croutons and a very ordinary dressing. Our favorite starter is Sydnee's quesadillas ($8)--one quesadilla, really, albeit a really big one--which is filled with chicken (can't find the promised shrimp) and cheese and some real heat. It's far spicier than the gumbo. We all pronounce it terrific.
In trying to sample a bit of this, a bite of that, we cover the menu's highs and lows, I think. The low would be Andrea's pick, fettuccine de Mar ($17). It comes with a choice of chicken or shrimp; Andrea picks shrimp but doesn't eat them. They taste of iodine to her, though C.C. and I find them OK, if slightly overdone. The pasta is proper and the serving large, but the sauce is misguided. All around me, I see diners trying to doctor it with salt and pepper. Tomatoes, basil, garlic, Jamaican spice, and vodka--how can a cream sauce with all those good things miss? Yet it does.
C.C.'s selection, grilled red snapper ($18), is mostly pleasing, although our server calls it rockfish when she sets it down, and it appears as "Rockfish Negril" on our bill. The large filet, a bit overdone, is draped over freshly steamed spinach. A light cream sauce covers the top. It's good, but just good.
The highlight of the entrées proves to be my choice, Southern fried chicken ($13). It's simply superb. I was a bit worried by the description--boneless breast--but, honey, this is the best deep-fried boneless chicken this gal has ever had. There's two big pieces, crispy on the outside, moist and flavorful and tender within, sided by pristine sautéed collard greens with some crunch left and topped with a divine tomato chutney that contains sweet onion and green pepper. It's such a great chutney that I want to buy a case on the spot. What it does for the chicken cannot be described. It can only be--it must be--tasted.
Desserts are simple, and excellent. Pie is $3, cake is $4. We're told a woman comes in each morning to prepare and bake them. Our choices tonight are a coconut pound cake, a black-walnut cake, and a sweet-potato pie. Andrea likes the black-walnut cake, though its nutty, sweet taste owes more to walnut extract than to real black walnuts. C.C. loves the sweet-potato pie because the flavor isn't overwhelmed by spice. My own favorite is the coconut pound cake. The coconut is really more of a suggestion than a fully formed idea, but I like that. A subtle flavor of fresh citrus permeates the moist confection, and it makes for a light version of a usually heavy dessert.
Sydnee de Mar's service needs some polish, and the kitchen may still be finding its way, judging by all those ingredients that show up on the menu but not on the plate. I hope a steady hand is at the reins, because the restaurant appears to have something of a following already. But followings can be fickle, unless they get a bistro's best.

Characters In The Movie Beer League
Posted by www.beerleaguethemovie.com | Uncategorized | Posted on May 22nd, 2012
Anybody who is into movies and beer will absolutely love the great movie known as Beer League. Not only is this a comical movie about a group of people who like to drink and play ball, but also about the camaraderie that many people share. The main character Artie Devanzo is a person that is known for being quite a loser in town as he is unemployed and a town drunk. The highlight of his life is that he plays softball with his best friends Johnny and Maz, although these two don't really have the highest aspirations in life either.The full explanation can be found at http://adventuresofhuckfinn.wordpress.com/2012/03/23/the-town-drunk/
Artie is the main character who doesn't seem to ever be able to hold down a job or a relationship, but ends up finding an old girlfriend by the name of Linda Salvo who ends up changing the way he looks at things, to his friend's dismay. Throughout the movie Artie is seen playing many games of ball, but still is in the romantic relationship with Linda, although at times it seems very sketchy. The high point of the movie is when he loses the game but steals the trophy and takes off to a completely different area of country.
