September 1st, 2013 By Kevin Perry
#1-FLOYD MAYWEATHER (44-0, 26 KOs)
His record speaks for itself,and his level of opposition is top notch. At the end of the day he just continues to put W's in the win column. Not always the most exciting fighter to watch, but until someone solves the puzzle he will continue to dominate fights. The object of boxing is not to take punishment but to dish it out. He exemplifies that notion in abundance.
#2-ANDRE WARD (26-0, 14 KOs)(168lbs)
Inactivity almost made me drop him from the list entirely, especially considering he doesn't have an opponent scheduled. Dominance over top level foes earns the undisputed 168lb champion the spot as one of the top prizefighters. Stopped Chad Dawson (31-1, 17 KOs) in ten rounds in September 2012. Unfortunately that was the last time he entered the squared circle.
#3-JUAN MANUEL MARQUEZ (55-6-1, 40 KOs)(147lbs)
Most significant victory of his career was his last fight over Manny Pacquaio(54-5-2, 38 KOs) (KO 6). Along with that win he has compiled a solid body of work that includes titles at 126, 130, 135, and 140lbs. His longevity in the sport cannot be ignored. Faces Tim Bradley (30-0, 12 KOs) in October for a shot at the WBO 147lb crown.
#4-GUILLERMO RIGONDEAUX (12-0, 8 KOs)(122lbs)
One of the best amateurs in history, a two time Olympic Gold medal winner, the Cuban decisively defeated Filipino star Nonito Donaire (31-2, 22 KOs) (UD12) in April. The fight was considered a toss up by some experts and Donaire was favored as high as 3-1 in sports books. Rigondeaux displayed a plethora of skills in outboxing the Filipino. He wound up unifying the WBO and WBA junior featherweight titles with the victory. The WBA belt he earned in his 9th pro bout stopping then undefeated Rico Ramos (21-2, 11 KOs).
#5-CARL FROCH (31-2, 22 KOs) (168lbs)
Has compiled the toughest schedule in boxing in the last few years. Only losses were to Andre Ward and Mikkel Kessler (46-3, 35 KOs), avenging the defeat to Kessler by unanimous decision in his last outing. Scored impressive wins over two undefeated Canadians; Jean Pascal (27-2-1, 16 KOs) (UD 12) and Lucian Bute (31-1, 24 KOs)(TKO 5).
#6-SERGIO MARTINEZ (51-2-2, 28 KOs)(160lbs)
This elite talent appears to be on the downslide. Maybe it's age or nagging injuries, but hasn't lost a fight since losing to Paul Williams (41-2, 27 KOs) by a controversial decision in 2009. Notched six defenses of the linear middleweight crown. Dangerous punching machine Gennady Golovkin (27-0, 24 KOs) is breathing right down his neck and may be the best middleweight. Can't crown him yet until Martinez loses the title. It's not if though, its when?
#7-TIM BRADLEY (30-0, 12 KOs)(147lbs)
The third welterweight to make this list. Faces a major test in Marquez, but age should be a factor. The Mexican is 40, Bradley being ten years his junior. Had a tough outing in his last bout versus hard charging Russian, Ruslan Provodnikov (22-2, 15 KOs). Bradley got off the deck in the 12th round to win a close and somewhat controversial decision. Also got a close and unexpected nod over Manny Pacquaio in 2012. His record otherwise is impressive, unifying titles at 140lbs, beating a who's who of the top junior welterweights at the time including current IBF welterweight champion Devon Alexander (25-1, 14 KOs), handing him his first defeat.
#8-LUCAS MATTHYSSE (34-2, 32 KOs)(140lbs)
Arguably boxings hardest puncher who earned the distinction by knocking down every opponent he's faced. Only two losses are questionable ones in his foes backyards, one split decision to Alexander and another loss to Zab Judah(42-8, 29 KOs). Faces a true litmus test in a potential fight of the year against 140lb champion Danny Garcia (26-0, 16 KOs).
#9-JHONNY GONZALEZ (55-8, 47 KOS) (126lbs)
One of boxings best punchers has faced the best fighters campaigning in the lower weights. Was a massive underdog August 24th against highly regarded boxer-slugger and WBC featherweight king Abner Mares (26-1-1, 14 KOs). Surprised those in attendance as well as Mares with a perfect left hook. Mares rose from the knockdown, but at that point the bout was essentially over. Another barrage led to the stoppage in round one. Has had numerous setbacks, but has posted some impressive victories in the last few years including this one. A truly dangerous fighter with power, boxing skills and one of the best trainers in the business, Hall of Famer Nacho Beristain.
#10-SAUL ALVARAEZ (42-0-1, 30 KOs) (154lbs)
While many may not agree, Alvarez has built a pretty solid record thus far in his career. The 23 year old Mexican star can become a phenomenon if he somehow can figure out how to beat Floyd Mayweather on September 14th. If he somehow can make the fight competitive (something I don't believe he can accomplish) that alone would put a feather in his cap. Has improved immensly as a fighter as proven in his decision win over southpaw Austin Trout (26-1, 14 KOs). Appears to be an almost complete package at this point; good power, quick hands, good combination puncher, and improved head movement and defense. Biggest flaw is lack of footspeed, something that will be a major disadvantage fighting someone as fast and clever as Mayweather.
-Kevin Perry
Hey Kevin, I don't really have much argument with your ratings except that I would include one of the Klitschko's at least #10 because of their dominance in the heavyweight division. What I would like to address is the "state" of boxing today and your list confirms my opinion. Does this list really excite boxing fans? It doesn't excite me at all, maybe I've been a fan and involved in the game too long and I'm just bored with it? Just a note: The first fight I watched ( my friends Dad gathered up all the neighborhood kids and his friends and we watched the Gillette fight of the week ) Sugar Ray Robinson's 2nd comeback fight against Ralph "Tiger" Jones. Jones was the most popular tv fighter of that era, he outworked Ray and won a UD. The only way I will watch Floyd and Canelo is for free, otherwise forget it. Canelo will be lucky to hit Floyd with a "handful of rice". He does have the "proverbial" punchers chance or Floyd may "get old" that night. I doubt he has the conditioning it would require to carry out a plan to beat Floyd. That plan would require him to put constant pressure, cut off the ring properly, bang the body until he could connect with head shots, all this for 3 minutes a round for 12 rounds. GOOD LUCK!!! Floyd by UD just like Marquez, Mosley, Cotto and Guerrero. Nothing new here, BORING!!!!!
Boxing fans were "robbed" of a career defining fight for Floyd, Pacquiao in his prime, 3-4 years ago ( PED'S or not ). Now, we will never know, just another nail in the coffin!!!!
This is the kind of list a kid with attention deficit would make. One victory or one loss determine your ranking. Marquez wins 1 of 4 against Pacquiao and he is #3 and Pacquaio unlisted. Johnny Gonzalez lost big to Ponce de Leon less than a year ago, but his one punch victory is enough. Abner Mares is not on the list after a 1-punch ko loss, even though in the last 2 years he has beaten Anselmo Moreno, Vic Darchinyan, Ponce de Leon, Agbeko, etc. Bradley's last 2 fights were a gift decision against Pacquiao and getting battered around and almost KO'd by Provodnikov. I fail to see how Canelo Alvarez accomplishments are bigger than Danny Garcia or Mikey Garcia. Is Carl Froch better P4P than Nonito Donaire? Really? Carl Froch has lost 2 of his last 7 fights, but he is #5 ! Wladimir Klitschko has not lost in more than 9 years.
Interesting list Kevin. I particularly liked your top 5 PFP.
Don't see how my list is flawed emelio. Mares got stopped in one round. He gets omitted. Gonzalez is 15-1 in his last 16 fights against good opposition. Froch's only loss recently is to the #2 guy on the list by decision. Bradley beat Pacman and Provodnikov, and has other great wins. Garcia's best win is against Salido, not enough. D Garcia best is against Khan, that won't get him there. The K brothers don't deserve to be there. They get by mostly on size, so of they were the same size as their foes they wouldn't be dominant. I don't include heavies for that exact reason. i just think it's counterproductive to include heavyweights on pound for pound lists. They fight in a division with no limit on weight. You trash Froch, yet he didn't get stopped in one round like Mares did. I have to take the results into consideration when compiling the lists. Mares had some questionable wins in my mind. You make a good case for Donaire, I will give you that. I maybe could have put him at #10 instead of Alvarez, I feel maybe I was being generous.
How can you rank a fighter (Andre Ward) that has not fought a guy in his weight class for over 2 years?? He has nothing upcoming and has said when he fights next it will be a tune up fight. That means this guy will not have fought another super middleweight for nearly 3 years. There are many more deserving fighters than Andre (SOG) Ward. Let him go into announcing full-time. There is nothing to miss here.
A first round one-punch KO is the worst kind of indicator one could possibly use. It is not the same to beat a guy over 12 rounds and show your superiority than it is to get a one-punch KO. Often, inferior fighters get lucky and get destroyed in the rematch. Also losing to a top P4P guy should not automatically get you off the list. During the last 12 months, Jhonny Gonzalez beat Mares … who beat Ponce De Leon… who beat Johnny Gonzalez. Does that mean that 6 months ago Ponce De Leon should have been on the list? Carl Froch has heart, but the skill level at 168 (except for Ward) is weak. Plus, he did lose 19 months ago to Mikkel Kessler. Going 1 and 1 againt Kessler in 19 months should not get you to #5. Otherwise, you should also rank Mikkel Kessler in the top 10 because he went 1 and 1 with the #5 P4P guy in the world! Lucas Mattysse is exciting but he has lost to 2 of the top 3 fighters he has faced. Danny Garcia at least is undefeated and has beaten Amir Khan and Zab Judah (who beat Mathysse). How many top fighters has Canelo Alvarez beaten to be #10? Mikey Garcia's level of competition is equal or better than Canelo's, plus he destroys his opponents instead of getting decisions.
Blah Blah Blah, Emilio…Your points are invalid. Gonzalez stopped Mares in the first round. he's 15-1 in his last 16, only loss to Ponce. Beat Hasegawa by stoppage, and has been competitive in a number of losses. If you see my criteria, is also says body of work. If you want to argue my points,cool. As far as first round KO' not being an indicator of success? Gonzalez has beaten a number of good fighters by KO, some of his losses he's put guys on the deck. Good fighters. If I am looking at recent body of work, he makes a case for himself. You could put 3 or four guys at #10 to replace Alvarez, if you want to argue that fine. I at least explained my criteria. I am sure you have your own. Beating Mares is impressive, as for Froch, Psacal and Bute ranks right up there in my view.
Well that is your pound for pound list which is, in my opinion, not a good list…imagine getting Pacquiao out of the list and has Johnny Gonzalez in there? I know he beat Abner Mares but not enough to be in there…..lots of black americans in there but I can understand why.
Your list is as good as anybody's list who dare to put one.
Pacquiao was the pound for pound king for five years, one questionable lose and one knocked out is not enough to take him out of top ten, but I agree if he loss to Rios that he does not belong there anymore.
Pretty good list. Would not have Marquez or Rigo that high. Rigo's only good win is Donaire, who is overrated imo. JMM is one of my favorite fighters, but I would not rank him that high considering there are people at or around his weight who would likely beat him. Saul has ONE win over someone his size and even that was questionable. He's top 25 MAYBE. Needs to prove a whole lot more than he has. Gonzalez has a great resume, but he won't keep that belt very long. Santa Cruz could easily snatch it as could Donaire or Rigo. I would not rule out Mares taking it back in the rematch. You have a lot of the people I would have in the top 10 though.

Apple has apologized for recent Apple Store staffing screw-ups that saw one of the most laudable retail operations in the world cut and confuse staff and threaten a reputation that, until now, has been second-to-none. Stories about the cuts and confusion in Apple Retail began to spread last week, and while Apple is denying reports about layoffs, they are admitting to the incredibly poor judgement when it comes to Apple Retail staffing general:
In a communication with store leadership teams, senior vice president of retail, John Browett, who took the reins of Apple's retail stores in April, said that the company had been trying a new staffing formula for its retail stores, leading some employees to see their hourly shifts cut and retail locations to be understaffed. This happened for a few weeks before the company decided to revert to its older system, hoping to rectify the problem.
He instructed leadership teams to tell employees, "We messed up," according to two people who were aware of the communication, which also stressed that while shift schedules were affected, no one was laid off. He also wanted employees to know that it was hiring new staff, these people said.
Apple acknowledged the retail staffing changes. "Making these changes was a mistake and the changes are being reversed," said Kristin Huguet, an Apple spokeswoman. "Our employees are our most important asset and the ones who provide the world-class service our customers deserve."
Browett replaced longtime Apple Store mastermind, former SVP Ron Johnson who left to run JC Penny. At the time, Browett's hiring raised eyebrows. If he did engineer this tragically misguided direction for Apple retail, he deserves the blame he's getting. But so do those at Apple who hired and empowered him. Change for change's sake is not good business, and change for any reason other than to make better things has seldom if ever been Apple's business.
Rather than get into a rant of my own, however, I'll give the floor to Jim Dalrymple of The Loop:
With $100 billion or so in the bank, the last thing Browett needs to worry about is cost cutting measures to save a few pennies here and there. Instead he should be focused on how to best server the surge of consumers that will take to the stores in the coming months to buy new Apple products.
Go read the rest of Jim's post, and Info Apple Store's report on the entire cluster that led to it. Especially if you're on Apple's executive team.
You're at the top of your game right now, this type of stuff becomes no one.

Milky Way as seen from Mars:
Galaxy is just out of shot...
Either,Now, the big question - what if evidence of life is discovered?
a) we bend down a prey to out Martian overlords
b) the first chapter of the Bible is quickly re-written to read "and on the Seventh day he created Mars".
Either way Darwinism will be banned for US schools and Genesis will continue to be taught as a science...
Why don't they debate, say, gravity in the same way? I mean, we could introduce the theory that 'the earth sucks' as an alternative viewpoint to that of gravity, then teach that to 'give a balance'. It's tongue in cheek, but ....

I agree as already commented, a fantastic achievement! Apparently President Obama's next 'dream' is to have scientists on Mars in the year 2030.
Will they get the parts for any kind of Rover?
I bet the Head Gasket goes, my 45 was notorious for it.
I'm sure that in 1985 plutonium is available in every corner drug store, but in 1955 it's a little hard to come by.You made a time machine out of a Rover?
I was reading comments on the Daily Mail site and there's the usual mix of religion, 'waste of money' and other useless comments, and then one stood out to me...
A guy asking for more info about the place it landed, questions like 'what's the weather like?', 'what's the temperature?' and... 'is the air breathable?'
Seriously, that last question was asked. Their view was that without those questions being answered by NASA when it landed, it was a pointless mission.
I worry for our future.
Joking aside, you shouldn't waste your time on the Daily Mail. Like an addictive narcotic, it's tempting to look in on it once in a while, but it leaves you the poorer for it. If reading an article in the DM doesn't make you angry or aggrieved towards a sector of society then the editors have not done their job well. As for the comments, the range from imbecilic to neurotic. The occasional sane soul has their comments down-voted to obscurity.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn (WVLT) -- As the Northeast gets ready for another storm today, people are still dealing with Sandy's destruction.
Servicemaster Cleaning and Restoration sent two trucks from Knoxville and three more from their Johnson City office to help with water damage cleanup in New Jersey.
Ten employees from the disaster division will help people living in the township, Toms River.
The company does have offices up north, but crews are already stretched thin due to the massive amount of destruction.
Many homes are badly damaged, items inside destroyed.
Barry Jenkins of Servicemaster shared pictures of furniture, mattresses, and other items that were destroyed, piled outside of homes on the curbs.
Jenkins isn't sure how long the ET crews will be there to help out, but they will try to help as many homeowners as possible.

Hollywood - On Tuesday, January 16, 2001 at approximately 10:45 p.m., Rampart Area uniformed Officers Logan and Hernandez broadcasted that they were following a stolen vehicle containing two male suspects, westbound on the 101 freeway at Alvarado Street. Sergeant Carey, Officer Bolanos, Sergeant Ficken, an air unit and two Gang Detail Units joined the following. Officers Scott Frus (Serial No. 32170, 31 years of age, 5 ½ years with the Department), Scott Thielman (Serial No. 32320, 28 years of age, 5 ½ years with the Department), Christopher Razo (Serial No. 33276, 28 years of age, 4 ½ years with the Department) and Amir El-Farra (Serial No. 32259, 29 years of age, 5 ½ years with the Department) stationed themselves near the 101 freeway and Vermont Avenue.
Officers Logan and Hernandez attempted to stop the vehicle. The driver/suspect accelerated and a short pursuit ensued. The pursuit terminated inside the abandoned Fox Television complex at 5700 Sunset Boulevard. The suspect abandoned the vehicle, and hid inside the complex. The passenger was detained without incident.
Officers Frus, Thielman, Razo and El-Farra entered the complex and were informed by the air unit that they had a visual the suspect. He was running inside the complex. The officers followed the air unit's light and began a search of a dark courtyard area. The suspect emerged from behind a pillar and began sprinting toward the officers, screaming unintelligibly. While running toward the officers, the suspect lifted his jacket with one hand, inserted his other hand into his front waistband and appeared to grasp a shiny metal object. The officers identified themselves and repeatedly ordered the suspect to stop and raise his hands; all to no avail. The officers believed that the suspect was arming himself with a weapon and was about to attack them. In fear for their lives and the lives of their partners, each officer fired his service pistol at the suspect. The suspect sustained multiple gunshot wounds and fell to the ground. He was taken into custody without further incident. No weapon was recovered.
The suspect was transported by paramedics to Cedars Sinai Medical Center. He was treated for his wounds and remains in stable condition. He is expected to recover. The suspect has not been identified.
This press release was prepared by Lieutenant Horace Frank. For further information regarding this press release, contact Media Relations Section at 213-485-3586.

Year Released: 2011
MPAA Rating: Unrated
Running Time: 16 minutes
Click to Expand Credits:
Based on H.P. Lovecraft's short story The Unnamable, Sascha Renninger's Shadow of the Unnamable manages to capture all of the aspects of Lovecraft's work that make it memorable in a brilliant mix of mood, visual composition and digital and animated effects.
The short starts off as two friends argue in a cemetery. Randolph Carter (Robert Lyons) is a novelist who is prone to writing about the dark and sinister, though his friend Joel Manton (Jeff Motherhead) derides him for ending his stories with events or imagery that are too horrible to name or describe. By Joel's estimation, nothing is indescribable or unnamable, as one of Randolph's stories would suggest, and Randolph goes about filling in some of the back story to help flesh out how he got to such a nondescript ending. As the story nonchalantly unfolds, night falls and the two men find themselves suddenly in the midst of the mysterious legend they've been discussing.
First off, the film knocks the mood out of the park. It starts a bit slowly, and for about 5 minutes you're left wondering, "Really? Am I going to watch an entire short of two guys talking?" The conversation is interesting, but the build is deliberately slow. As Randolph's story goes along, however, we're treated to imagery to help us see what it is he's talking about, through a combination of different animation and digital effects. By the time you're halfway through the film, you find yourself just as enraptured as the two men and, appropriately, just as creeped out that it's now night, and they're sitting in a cemetery talking about indescribable evils.
As soon as I was done watching Shadow of the Unnamable, I wanted to watch it again. The imagery sticks with you, and the effects work is so incredible I wanted to take another look just to see how much was real and how much was fake (much of the work is blended so seamlessly, you don't know the trapdoor is there until the film pulls the rope). If you're a fan of H.P. Lovecraft, or just want a quality, spooky short film to enjoy, Shadow of the Unnamable is the right choice for you.
This film was submitted for review through our Submission for Review system. If you have a film you'd like us to see, and we aren't already looking into it on our own, you too can utilize this service.

The NYPD and the Parks Department are eager to start installing cameras in parks and playgrounds to fight crime.
Not to be outdone, the cops in Mordor have gone to live monitoring of cameras to, according from the article "respond faster to shootings, robberies and other offenses and catch suspects before they get away." Notice that there is not much here about prevention. The cops are there to clean up the mess.
Instead of installing cameras, I would recommend the repeal of all gun laws in Washington (and NYC). Oh, and while we're at it, let the mere taxpayers have AA-12s.8:44 am on February 11, 2008 Email Manuel Lora

Snippets from the Front
EU Referendum s always a good read - everyday it is like this....
...The immediate effect for the European Union, is a gradual stifling of all innovation and a loss of the most dynamic businessmen and entrepreneurs. Where do they go? USA if they can, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, wherever they feel their work will be appreciated and they will not be destroyed by so-called legislators who think entrepreneurship is something that can be defined and measured against definite benchmarks.
The supreme irony is that the EU is destroying something in which it could and ought to compete with the United States: business innovation. While it tries to stand up to America in foreign, defence and security matters, which is absurd, harmful and, in so far as it leads the EU to support bloodthirsty dictators and, even, terrorists, morally shameful, it also undermines its ability to compete in a healthy way and, perhaps, to win. And so the United States surges ahead, while we put together another structure and negotiate with another tin-pot dictator in the name of integration and anti-American parity....
Another post:
"two enduring myths about the benefits of the euro were quashed yesterday by influential reports claiming the single currency had not encouraged fiscal prudence or attracted extra investment".
And another:
If Chirac and Kofi Annan truly represented the face of international co-operation, then there would be a lot to be said for isolationism.

- This is a very green scent- when you get it, you don't think of violets. However, when you blend it with other scents, it definitely opens up. It's like sitting in the grass and violet patches and smelling the fresh leaves while catching top notes of violet after a while as it dries down. It's very faint, floral and overall, a 'sweet' scent. I absolutely love it. Even if you don't think you're going to need it, definitely pick it up- you'll be amazed at its flexibility and the boost it gives to most scents. (Posted on 5/23/13)
- Very Fresh! Review by Michele
- I agree with others who said this scent is very 'green', almost botanical. I think it would mix well with some fruit notes and add brightness. This is the first violet absolute I have tried. I think a little will go a long way. (Posted on 5/8/13)
- "Green" in a bottle Review by SW
- This is an amazing absolute, the essence of "green" in a bottle! I even smell a bit of the flower in the dry down. A must for any natural perfumer or lover of deep green scents. (Posted on 4/30/13)
- Fresh Spring in a Bottle Review by Florence
- It took me a bit of time to really appreciate Violet Leaf. At first, it was just "too green". Now that I have spent time with it I completely appreciate its "green-ness". It brings to mind the first hint of Spring when the grass starts to become green again, the trees start budding, the daffodils and tulips start blooming, the forsythia mimics the sunshine . . . you get the point. This is a wonderful item. Check out the 10% if you're shy. (Posted on 4/30/13)

If you want to get FM or HD stations and your wire antenna isnt cutting it, there is only one option. The FM6 from AntennaCraft is capable of pulling in stations up to 80 miles away. It is possible to pull stations in further but is dependant on environmental factors such as terrain and weather. Just hook it up to an FM or HD receiver and your good to go. Note: if you are using coax to connect the antenna to a receiver you will need a 300Ohm to 75Ohm converter.

This is well worth the money my normal reception is 100-300.-FM DXer
Not as directional as expected
Bone Bag - Angola, Indiana - 4/29/2012
I bought this antenna to get better reception of a radio station 50+ miles away of which the crossed-dipole omni did no good. I still get radio stations from 40+ miles in ALL directions. What did work for better reception was replacing my tuner with one with better selectivity and performance. I would like to upgrade to a real directional antenna. There may be other reasons for this of which I wil

Tincap - Brockville, kville ON - 2/9/2013
With the cuts to classical music programming on our (I am Canadian) CBCs Radio 2 network I turned to another (American) station for my classical music needs. However a more powerful station on an adjacent channel caused much grief.When it was apparent that I needed an external directional antenna the FM6 appeared to fit the bill. Light weight and easy to install I have it mounted on a 30
this antenna is very directional
erskine - talladega, AL - 2/17/2014
purchased this antenna to replace my home made outside dipole which works well. the fm6 does have a slighter longer range but is extremly directional.
DJROCK - Toronto, ON - 4/17/2014
I put this on the roof, ran RG-6 coax and connected it to my FM-HD-RADIO. The reception is mind blowing!!!
Seems to be the only long range FM outdoor antenna on the market
DaveI - Wellington, NV - 5/1/2014
I'm using this antenna to receive FM stations from RENO, NV. The distance is about 60 miles straight line (Mountains in between). I am using this antenna in conjunction with two inline amplifiers. A JIM M-75 20db variable inline amplifier about 20ft. from the antenna and an Archer 20db fixed FM amplifier about another 20 feet from the first amplifer (3ft. from the stereo receiver). With this antenna and the two inline amplifiers I am able to pickup multiple stations and the higher power stations clearly but still not with full quieting. This antenna is a good deal for the price but I wish someone still sold a higher gain FM outdoor antenna. It's good but for long range you'll still need amplifiers. It seems to be the only remaining long-range outdoor antenna that is not one of those amplified dipole antennas. Unfortunately for really long-range it really needs to be longer with more elements for more gain.
Great antenna for the money.
Jim - Eufaula, AL - 9/8/2014
I bought this FM6 antenna with the intent of modifying it to improve its performance. I have made the modifications suggested by K6STI and have been excited with the increase in performance. Great antenna for the money.

South America is a vast continent and home to one of the longest waves in the world. Waves can be found along the Colombian coastline, Ecuador through Peru and down to the cooler waters of Chile and then on the Atlantic side, Brazil, Paraguay and Uraguay and also Argentina. Peru means Chicama and the longest left in the world, along with the chance to visit Machu Piccu, this is the ideal destination for the surfer / adventurer. Ecuador is an amazing country with some of the best waves concentrated around the Kuta-style mini surfing town of Montanita. Chile has some powerful waves hitting the cold Chilean Coastline, it's consistent almost all year around, it's uncrowded but spectacular scenery when you look at the coastline from the water. Brazil is home to the passionate Brazilians who are proud of the many kinds of waves all up the Atlantic coastline and across to the beautiful island of Fernando de Noronha. An amazing country with very friendly and welcoming, happy people.
South American favourites
The beach town of Montanita in Ecuador is a very easy and international place to come to learn to surf or improve your skills in the water.
Peru is ideal for the adventurous travelling surfer looking to catch the longest left in the world.
Brazil is a really fun place to visit. It's noisier in the water than out and some of the beachbreaks south of Rio are powerful and barrelling, The island of Fernando de Noronia really is out of this world.
Where to stay
- Surf Resorts – for who want Beachfront luxury with spa treatments and onsite restaurants – Chicama Surf Resort in Peru
- Surf Lodges – to meet like-minded people and stay at an affordable price – Punta De Lobos in Chile
- Surf Adventure Tours – for surfers who want to surf various waves along the coast and who want to explore the country and culture – Olas Surf Tours Peru
Go Exploring
Visit Machu Piccu, go spear fishing, mountain biking or join a snow/surf adventure in Chile, dance the samba and learn capoeira in Brazil. Go horse riding, trekking, mountain biking, windsurfing, kitesurfing or rent a SUP or get a massage in Chile, anything is possible!
Limitless fun and waves in South America – the ultimate travel destination.
Ecuador is exposed to both North and South Pacific swells. The peak surfing season is from November to March with glassy waves and light winds and consistent waves. The water temperature is warmer here than further south thanks to the Panama current.
It's not difficult in Peru to find quality, uncrowded waves. Chicama breaks mainly on sand and is consistently off-shore. The north swell season hits in summerwhen it's sunny, the winds are light and the water temperatures warm up. The south swells are usually bigger and more consistent than the north swells and the peak south swell season is from March to November. From September to March, the surf is better in the southern-central region of Chile. The water temperatures are cool so take a full suit unless you're further up north.
Located just south of the equator, exposed to north and south Pacific ground swells, Northern Perureceives world class surf year-round. The north swell season coincides with summer and it is sunny with less wind and warmer water temperatures, unlike central and southern Peru where most days require at least a spring suit. Just south of Cabo Blanco two currents collide producing extreme differences in water temperatures at breaks only a few kms apart. In general, the waves in the area are practically perfect with fast walls and magic barrels that rarely exceed 6-10 ft. The south swells are actually bigger and more consistent than the north swells, but north Peru's headlands and points make for more perfect waves. The peak south swell season is from March through to November.
The best time to explore Chile is between May and September where the northern beaches are barelling and powerful waves are pushing in. From September to March, the southern-central region of Chile sees quality left-hand points that break over sand/volcanic rock bottomes. The water gets increasingly colder in Argentina and Chile the further south you go, and therefore usually less crowded as well. The powerful Humboldt Current generated in Antarctica brings constant surf to the Chilean coast. Waves are also generated by wind coming from low-pressure centers off central Chile.
Surfing conditions in Brazil are relatively good all year around but the best time is April to October for swells. From April to October, southern Brazil catches east to south swells produced in the Antarctic. From November to March, the north of Brazil gets the northern swells.

I just got off the phone with a Hyatt reservationist and she confirmed that that Park Hyatt Maldives is a category 6 hotel, which means you can use 22,000 points or free nights (I have two from a promotion event and she said I'll be able to use them for a dummy May 6-8 booking).
Other key information- you can pre-arrange transfers from the international airport, which takes approximately 2 hours 10 minutes for a $450 per person charge.
If you want to upgrade to larger suites, you can only do so using cash. The Park Pool Villa is an additional $1,070 per night and the Park Water Villa $1,200 and both of those rooms are around 1,500 sq feet. Those prices seem extreme and I think the rep may have been reading me the daily rate for the suites and not the upgrade price.
That's about all I have right now – great news – and I apologize for even suggesting Hyatt would classify this as anything but a category 6 hotel
The wheels are already turning about planning a trip there. I'll work on putting together a, "How to get to the Maldives with points and miles" post shortly.
PS: Don't forget to register for the April 1- June 30 points promo: 10,000 points for the first 5 nights and then 5,000 points for every 2 nights after that (up to 60,000).

This motel was ok for the money, but couldn't they wash this place a little? My mom and I were afraid of catching something so we disinfected the place ourselves. On the good side, the beds are comfortable, the stove works and so does the TV. And the price was also really good... $271 for 7 nights. I think that's the cheapest motel I've ever been in.

Canadian Web Hosting Readies Windows Server 2012 for Web Hosting Platform and Services
Canadian Web Hosting Has Announced Support for Windows Server 2012 for all New and Existing Web Hosting Clients Including Cloud Hosting, Dedicated and Clustered Servers, VPS and Hyper-V Servers
Vancouver, British Columbia, September 04, 2012
Canadian Web Hosting, a leading provider of IT services and web hosting solutions in Canada, announced today its full support for Windows Server 2012 for web hosting plans including Dedicated Servers, VPS and Cloud Servers running Windows and Hyper-V. Similar to previous iterations of Windows, Canadian Web Hosting continues to provide early adoption of new technologies in order to give their business and enterprise clients the latest generation of Microsoft's Server Operating System to enhance their service offerings and infrastructure.
With the release of Windows Server 2012, Canadian Web Hosting is able to provide a significantly improved OS that includes a number of major new features and updates. As an example, Canadian Web Hosting web hosting and cloud hosting customers will have strengthened access controls to files and processes, multiple Windows Server 2012 machines can now be managed as a group, Hyper-V can now work in various configurations including multi-tenant environments, enhanced security and isolation, the new Resilient File System (ReFS) gives web hosting customers better scalability and reliability, improved support for open-source standards and applications, and allows for migration of virtual machines from physical server to another without any downtime, enables network virtualization and boosts overall performance for several key metrics.
According to Matt McKinney, Director at Canadian Web Hosting, "The technology enhancements Microsoft has delivered with Windows Server 2012 will allow our clients to take full advantage of cloud computing. We are excited to see how Microsoft has simplified the service offering with four versions and improved the economy by offering the same enterprise-class features across the Standard and Enterprise editions. Because of this, our clients can now select a version based on their business requirements and not an arbitrary feature set that put features like high availability out of reach to many customers."
All Canadian Web Hosting clients can receive the full capabilities of Windows Server 2012 and whether a customer is progressing towards the cloud, or currently operates in a highly virtualized cloud environment, Canadian Web Hosting has a team of certified Microsoft specialists who will work with our customers to get them into the right version of new Windows Server operating system.

Canadian Web Hosting Ltd. Reinforces the Importance of Data Privacy
Traditionally, the US has been the industry leader when it comes to Web hosting providers. But there are growing concerns, since the Patriot Act was passed on October 26, 2001, and because of that, online privacy is not considered by most experts to be secured in the United States. To get a better understanding, one only has to look at a very recent example where data thought to be protected but was actually available under the scope of the Patriot Act.
Europe, long known to have strict security and privacy requirements, has traditionally been a location for businesses to store their data and it was thought that European datacentres were protected from the Patriot Act. In June of 2011, Gordon Frazer, managing director of Microsoft UK, confirmed that "Office 365 cloud data stored at European datacentres could still be handed over to American officials,"and went as far as saying that "Microsoft cannot provide guarantees and neither can any other company." The issue is based on the fact that Microsoft's headquarters are located in the US, and it is obligated to abide by American regulations, meaning that any data stored on their servers is subject to seizure and inspection.
Because of this, many businesses are now looking for alternativesincluding "offshore hosting," often scaled out to include Third World locations where the perceived notion is that these offshore marketplaces will prevent their data from being captured under the rules of the Patriot Act. But the notion is often flawed as offshore hosting is often priced well above their US counterparts and they're often located in areas with a poor technological infrastructure — meaning slow speed, and slow resolution of technical problems.
So what choices does a business owner have to protect their customer's data and their business? Staying with a US hosting company is getting risky from a privacy point of view, and Europe no longer provides the safe haven it used to. More and more businesses are turning to their neighbors to the north. Canadian web hosting companies — like Canadian Web Hosting Ltd. (www.canadianwebhosting.com) — are located in areas that have comparable capacity to deliver infrastructure solutions and premium web hosting services.
Cities like Vancouver and Toronto have excellent staffing and infrastructure, comparable high-speed connectivity to major US population centres, and in some cases it is better than popular US hosts located in the major metropolitan areas like Los Angeles or Dallas. In addition, service providers like Canadian Web Hosting Ltd. are now beginning to offer pricing for services like Cloud Hosting, Dedicated Servers, VPS and shared hosting at rates that are very competitive. So if Canadian web hosting and US web hosting services are similar, what separates a Canadian web hosting company from their counterparts?
To fully understand this, you have to first off look at how Canadians view privacy. If you read the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat's website (a government website), you will see the following statement, "Privacy has long been considered a fundamental right in Canada. The Government of Canada is recognized internationally as a leader in the creation of privacy laws and policies." Then, they go on to say that the chances of personal information being accessed under the Patriot Act are "remote" and that to date the "federal government is not aware of any such cases where information about a Canadian was accessed."
Moreover, Canadian privacy laws protect individual Canadians. One recent example occurred when The Privacy Commissioner of Canada forced Facebook to amend their privacy practices and policies for not only Facebook users in Canada but around the world because Facebook breached the Canadian privacy laws. This example shows the depth of the matter and how all companies including Facebook need to improve their privacy practices.
What really separates Canadian web hosting companies from their counterparts is the safeguards that the Government of Canada has implemented to protect personal information. The primary method has been through the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), which requires web hosting organizations engaged in commercial activities to obtain individuals' consent to the collection, or disclosure of their personal information. As an example, Canadian Web Hosting Ltd. maintains full compliance with PIPEDA and ensures that the following privacy requirements are met:
Consent must be garnered for collection of personal information
Collection of personal information limited to reasonable purposes
Limits use and disclosure of personal information
Limits access to personal information
Stored personal information must be accurate and complete
Designates the role of the Privacy Officer
Policies and procedures for breaches of privacy
Measures for resolution of complaints
Special rules for employment relationships
Further than that, provincial governments have implemented secondary standards that say that even if disclosure is permitted through PIPEDA, regional statutes such as the Business Records Protection Act (Ontario), which essentially says that business records cannot be removed from Ontario.
Until the US government provides additional clarity into the uses of the Patriot Act, web hosting customers who are concerned about privacy and security of their data should look north of the border. Companies like Canadian Web Hosting Ltd. who are 100% Canadianowned andoperated can deliver industry-best web hosting services, but are also contractually obligated through regulations to protect the data included in their datacentre.
Microsoft Launches Office 365
Last Tuesday, Microsoft launched Office 365, their newest cloud service now available in 40 markets. By using this new tool, you'll have access to any of your documents, emails, calendars, contacts and more as it brings together Microsoft Office, Microsoft SharePoint Online, Microsoft Exchange Online and Microsoft Lync Online.
As a small or midsize enterprise, you can benefit from being connected to any of your documents in real time thanks to their cloud service. This tool will help increase and enhance your own productivity along with your employees. Collaborating on projects will be easier and more seamless than ever since Office 365 allows you to share calendars and ideas at the same time.
Why should you think about using Office 365? It's simple. It's already enterprise ready and it works on all the browser platforms. For example, compare it to the Google Apps, it stands to be a lot more robust with all the full features that Word and Excel or Powerpoint offer rather than very basic functioning apps that can't work offline (Google plans on changing that soon). With Office 365, you can run the apps on your desktop or in your browser and everything looks the same, there's no headache. Besides, since most of the marketplace is dominated by Microsoft, here, they're providing us with a solid solution in becoming more efficient on how we access any data on the go anywhere at any time.
You can also learn more by visiting the official Microsoft page or find out how you can start exploring these benefits directly by visiting our offer page for only $7 per month per user.
Microsoft Releases Office Web App Suite
Microsoft has released Office Web App Suite http://office.live.com in four countries, Canada, USA, UK and Ireland. Similar to its desktop version (but limited in features), users can now use a web browser to start viewing, editing, and sharing Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and One Note documents. All the documents are saved in the cloud at Microsoft data centers. Their cloud is called "SkyDrive". I like it more than Google Docs as it allows seemless document transition from desktop to web without breaking the formatting. These developments put Microsoft's Office Web Apps in contention with other similar online application suites such as Google Docs (docs.google.com), and Zoho's (www.zoho.com). Best of all, it's free.

I am starting a round of Insanity today to get back in shape and I wanted to know whether any of you are able to find the time or motivation to workout when you have a child? Weird sleep schedules, work schedules, stress, finding time to be with your child...I'm assuming all of these things are factors that would prevent you from working out.
Knowing that high cholesterol runs in my family, I want to maintain a healthy lifestyle when DS is born. If you workout, how do you do it with so much going on in your life?
Before the baby was born I was M-F one hour a day, weights and cardio. After he was born I missed two weeks and then got back into it but a little dialed back. I do three days a week now just because I don't think I could recover with the reduced sleep. If you are working out you need at least 6 hours of sleep to recover effectively and you need to eat right. IF you don't eat, sleep and hydrate you will fail, guaranteed. If you have a rough night with the baby then skip the workout and stick to some stretching or catch a nap. Its a tough balance but you owe it to yourself. Once you get a routine established you will feel better just set a realistic goal. Don't push yourself really hard and then end up so sore you can barely walk. Thats not good for anybody and will discourage you from continuing.
Do you workout at home or at a gym? Once DS is born I was planning on setting up a small TV in the basement to workout. Since it's not finished I'm worried about the noise because I would be working out either early in the morning or after he would go to bed.

It is due to report earnings on Thursday and the question is, will that report provide a catalyst to send shares higher?
CA Technologies is one of the largest independent providers of IT management software. Its shares first started to climb after reporting third-quarter earnings that surged 32%. The company also announced plans to raise its annual dividend to $1.
While it can be argued that the surge was due to the announced dividend, its earnings were also very impressive. The company's revenue has been on an uptrend and most recently grew by 10% to $1.2 billion, the second straight quarter of double-digit growth.
With the stock trading at $26 and with a fairly inexpensive price-to-earnings ratio of 13, I would be a buyer ahead of the report on Thursday to add to an existing long-term position. The stock certainly has the potential to reach $30 by year's end, which will represent a premium of 15% above its most recent closing price.
Trade Alcatel-LucentIt seems the fortunes of once-embattled networking equipment maker Alcatel-Lucent (ALU) are starting to take a more favorable turn. Although it is hard to tell of late, the IP and optics business for the company is looking better as well. Its newest routing platform competes extremely well when compared to similar models from Cisco (CSCO) as well as Juniper (JNPR). Depending on whom you ask, you may hear that its model is even superior. The company is also seeing an uptick in its wireless segment business, and ALU desperately needs this trend to continue. Although the company has shown moderate growth by having forged some good deals with U.S. businesses -- namely the aforementioned AT&T and Verizon -- Alcatel has shown that it is not restricted solely to U.S. business. It has managed to get contracts from the three major Chinese service providers in China Mobile (CHL), China Telecom (CHA) and China Unicom (CHU). But that has meant very little to the broader market. With the stock trading close to its 52-week low of $1.14, I think there is a good trade opportunity here to buy on this weakness as it might offer a nice surprise when it reports earnings on Thursday. I don't see this as a recovery play nor as a long-term hold. But for investors looking for quick pop in the range of 10% to 15%, this stock might be a good candidate.

About Us
Press Room
Page Navigation
The Congregational Study/Action Issue (CSAI) process is designed to engage Unitarian Universalist (UU) congregations in an ongoing process of study, action and reflection on pressing social issues. The process is congregationally driven and it is facilitated by the Commission on Social Witness (CSW) with support from the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) staff.
General Assembly 2010: Immigration As A Moral Issue selected as the Congregational Study/Action Issue (CSAI) for 2010-2014. Congregations and districts are encouraged to begin programs of education and reflection, service, community organizing, advocacy, and public witness.
November 1, 2010: Deadline for Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) Multicultural Growth and Witness staff to post the initial Study Guide. Congregations will be notified of its availability.
Fall 2010-Spring 2011: Congregations begin the study of Immigration and get their ongoing comments to the CSW.
March 1, 2011: Deadline for congregations and districts to submit comments on the Immigration as a Moral Issue CSAI and Resource Guide. These comments will help the CSW prepare for the workshop at General Assembly.
General Assembly 2011: The CSW will conduct programs and workshops on the topic of Immigration and report on congregational involvement with the issue.
Summer 2011-Spring 2012: Congregations continue programs of education and reflection, community organizing, advocacy, and public witness on Immigration. Comments submitted by congregations to the CSW are reviewed and the Resource Guide is updated.
March 1, 2012: All of the comments received by this date are reviewed by the CSW. These comments assist in refining this Resource Guide and help the CSW prepare for General Assembly (GA) workshops on this issue.
General Assembly 2012: The CSW conducts workshops on the CSAI. One workshop includes reports on successful practices and discusses future possibilities.
November 15, 2012: Deadline for the CSW to prepare a draft Statement of Conscience (SOC) on Immigration. The draft statement and a ballot to place the SOC on the agenda of GA 2011 will be included in the annual congregational poll, conducted with annual membership certification.
February 1, 2013: Deadline for congregational poll ballots (a quorum of 25% participation required).
February 1, 2013: Deadline for submission of comments on the draft SOC. The CSW then prepares a revised draft of the SOC on Immigration, and places this revised draft on the Final GA Agenda.
General Assembly 2013: General Assembly considers the SOC. Approval requires 2/3 vote. The Assembly may also vote to refer the statement for an additional year of study. If approved, congregations and UUA staff conduct a year of implementation and action. The next study/action issue will be selected at GA in 2012.
General Assembly 2014: If a Statement of Conscience was adopted in the previous year, an Implementation Year workshop will be held on it. This concludes the Study/Action cycle.

HumboldtHomeBrew Here, new to HBT, does any have a surefire way to remove label from store-bought beer bottle. and I mean [I]really[I] get all the paper and adhesive off.
Thanks- HHB
That thread should help. I usually do an oxyclean and water soak, but heck, sometimes just warm water will do it. Good luck, and welcome aboard!
Oxyclean, warm water, a bathtub, and time is all ya need . . . depending if you do 3 cases at a time like I do the bath tub may not be neccessary
I use a cooler. A couple days in oxyclean and they fall right off....
I use a dishtray, some oxyclean, and warm water. Whatever doesn't peel right off after 12 hours or so, I use a product called goo-gone (available at Target and probably Wal-Mart) that will take any remaining adhesive right off.
i just soak my bottles in my sink with warm water. then after about 30 minutes i peel off what i can with my fingers, and scrub the rest with a dish scrubber brush
bleachwater for a day or 2 gets most of them loose or even completely off. then i use a scraper for some of the more stubborn labels.
Kegged: Smokier Smoked Porter
I soak the bottles in hot soapy water for a couple of hours and what doesn't come off after the soak,comes off with a scotch brite pad. So far I haven't met a lable I couldn't remove.
15 minutes or so in a one step cleaner soak seems to do the trick for most bottles. I'm becoming more and more convinced that one step is the same thing as oxyclean...
anyone got any help with printed bottles? (ie redstripe)

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

FLASH MOB presents: NIGHT SLUGS, Bok Bok & Girl Unit
Sat 26th Oct @ 11pm - 3am £6.00 / £8.00 / £10.00
For our October event we are thrilled to bring you Night Slug's very own Bok Bok and Girl Unit. Two DJ's we've been planning on booking since well before Flash Mob was brought into existence. To us, Night Slugs represented thesound that was somewhere between house, grime, techno and hip hop long before it became common to see a DJ mix all of them together in the same set. We're VERY excited to finally have them both playing in Glasgow after a long absence and this promises to be well worth the wait.
Bok Bok aka Alex Sushon is a London based DJ, producer, remixer and director of the incendiary Night Slugs record label.
DJing since 2004, Sushon started to make his name on London's underground scene around the time Grime music was first emerging from the capitol's tower blocks, and for the first years of his career he played little else. The unique inventiveness and raw energy of that music has remained with Sushon ever since those early days, as he discovered the wider world of club music, seeing many parallels between the homegrown music of London and House music from Chicago to South Africa, Techno, Baltimore/Jersey/Philly Club, 80s funk and a myriad other music styles across many eras. For Sushon, all these musics came together to form a seamless timeline, all complimenting, echoging and supplementing each other.
A bedroom producer since the early 2000s, Girl Unit started putting out mixes as Girl U No Its True in 2006, consisting largely of Miami Bass/Ghettotech/Ghetto House tracks, getting his first taste of club shows at some of the early Night Slugs events in London.
A firm believer in the term "Club" as a unifying term for the kind of sound provided, searching to draw connections from classic 808/909 rhythm tracks and club tools through to ice Rap/Grime/R&B instrumentals via US club tracks and more purpose-built material from the Night Slugs label.
2013 brings his side project Hysterics to the fray, with various tunes doing the dubplate circuit and primed for release.
The name Night Slugs first came into existence in early 2008 when, inspired by a variety of experimental club music from around the globe, Bok Bok and L-Vis 1990 linked up to start a club night dedicated to a brand new hybrid sound. This new aesthetic fused international gutter house styles with London's unique soundsystem heritage. The emphasis was on innovation, breaking new producers, debuting fresh tracks, uncompromising bass weight, and above all a functionalist dancefloor-friendly vibe.
Support on the night comes from Vandelay.
