Pedro Fernandez
Disgusting. Floyd and GBP purchased the decision, 100% sure.
Bold and unprovable opinion… Martin
I had the fight even going into the 12th. Here's the thing. Manny Pacquiao for whatever reason took rounds off. I don't knowing it was his calves, his conditioning, being in there with a guy who's super strong, or the Crltics lose. You can't win rounds you're not active in. He allowed Bradley to win rounds with just a jab because he didn't fight back or waited until the final third of the round to do anything. He gave away at least 3-4 rounds this way. Bradley only had to go out and win 3 rounds out right cuz Manny gave him the other rounds. Harold Ledermans card was ridiculous. The judges did a good job of not letting the flashy shots landed in the rounds Pacquiao won influence the scores in the rounds Pacquiao took off. I see no controversy here.
Sketchy decision, but to accuse Mayweather and GBP of a fix is silly. Mayweather stood more to lose with a Bradley win. Now on the other hand Bob Arum now gets to promote a rematch with Bradley and Pacquiao and then line up the Pacquiao Mayweather fight. Mayweather may not then command as much of an overwhelming purse so Arum cut of the pie would be much larger as well
Floyd Mayweather manipulates the decision between two Top Rank fighters? That's pretty out-there. More likely the judges overcompensated for avoiding a repeat of the Marquez decision and overrewarded Bradley's activity/pressure in the early rounds, giving him rounds he shouldn't have had in the first place. Hell, even the British commentator's theory that it was Arum trying to force Pacquiao to re-sign with him his more believable than Floyd Mayweather somehow buying off judges. It only makes sense in the "I hate Floyd Mayweather, so he must be the cause of all the injustices in the world" frame of mind.
"I listened to my corner," Bradley said. "I got to give him a rematch now."
Arum said there will be one on Nov. 10, though he thought Pacquiao won easily, as did most writers at ringside.
"I'll make a lot of money off the rematch, but this was outrageous," Arum said.
It was the biggest fight of Bradley's career and it came with a minimum $5 million payday. The rematch will be even richer, though Pacquiao's loss could damage any plans for a fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Mayweather did not see the fight because he is serving a sentence on a domestic abuse charge at a jail a few miles from the MGM Grand.
here's the official stats:
total punches, pacman (751), bradley (839)
connected punches, pacman (253), bradley (159)
PCT., Pacman 34%, Bradley 19%
Jabs Thrown, Pacman (258), Bradley (449)
Jabs Connected Pacman (63%), Bradley (51%)
Pct. Pacman 24%, Bradley 11%
* Pacquiao +82 in power punches landed
not one shot from bradley was clean enough to hit and hurt him. lopsided all the way and bradley lied when he said he would stand toe to toe. he back pedaling and throwing punches at pacmans gloves.
and 1 more. here's what sums it best.
Bradley himself said after the fight "I'll have to look at the tape to see if I won."
Yep,spoken by a true convinced champion.
Martin, so who purchased the Pacquaio/ JMM decisions? Was that Floyd and GBP as well?
I didnt watch the whole fight, but the rounds i watched, Rounds 1, 2 , 8 , 10 and 12 I scored all of them for Bradley. I didnt get to watch the other rounds. The channel i watched which is obviously not HBO with Lamptey had the fight close going into the 12 th round. The more i watch it the less the surprise, it appears Pacquio was throwing but not landing. In the rematch Pacroid will be hammered.
thats kind of stupid martin that would b taken money out floyd's pocket this was a inside job.bob arum is cutting mayweather out and having a big rematch with bradley. Getting another a big easy payday use ur head when u leave a oomment not ur heart martin
This is why boxing is losing fans to MMA. No one true governing organization that mandates fights and oversees boxing as a whole. Too many outrageously bad decisions in the last few years ( Brandon Rios winning when he got dominated, Pwill getting a gift decision, and Bradley last night). The fight was not even close. I think I'm done buying PPV for a while.
Manny needs to sever his contract with Bob Arum ASAP. I wouldn't be surprised if he retired.
Pedro, so how do you score the fight?
Arum wanted the rematch…. Arum wins again…he was feeling the heat of having to make the Floyd/PAC fight happen later this year! This was a way to keep that from happening. Now Arum can cash in on both these fighters again and avoid Floyd….ha … "Avoid Floyd"… I should make T-shirts with Arum and Pacs face on it..
at least 5times Bradley staggered in the fight against Pacman….all Bradley can show was how to hit the gloves of the opponent…its a total outclassed by Pacman and yet Bradley was awarded with a win….my score was 10 rounds to 2 for Pacman.. the only 2 rounds that bradley won were very close and can gone either way….total robbery!!!
World Boxing Council president Don Jose Sulaiman who watched the fight with the WBC board of governors in Mexico City told us "during the 67 years of my life in boxing I have never seen such a theft as the one perpetrated against Manny Pacquiao. I call it the theft of the century and I am embarrassed for the whole sport of boxing."
Sulaiman who is steeped in the sport said "I saw Manny win nine rounds clearly while the three that I saw him lose could have been even, I am shamed, profoundly ashamed. I just cannot understand it. It is a matter of deep concern."
excerpt from: http://philboxing.com/news/story-71466.html
As soon as saw the final presser, I knew the fix was in. It makes a ton of sense. All Bradely had to do was keep it close and the Bob and judges would make sure the rematch would be in. Manny put himself in this position to be exploited by Bob due to gambling problem and getting millions of dollars in advances from Bob to payoff his debts. Bob gets his way and a chance to make more money with the most controversial decision with the most iconic fighter on the planet. Oh and by the way Floyd, Bob just gave you the middle finger with his latest move. Uncle Roger has alway been right about Bob.
Not ONE person had Bradley winning and I had a gang of people at my house. Not ONE person was interested all that much and most basically ranted and raved how UFC was much better and that decisions like this is why they don't watch boxing..Because its rigged! That day Pedro, 2016 when u hv said in the past boxing will be dead…I see it happening sooner than that…How can anyone defend boxing anymore? I sure as hell dont care to anymore…Campillo, to Lara, now this…espn friday night fights, a scheduled 4 rounder gets CHANGED to a 6th rounder just the other day right after the 4th round! we dont even get the fights WE want to see!..anyways, Ive had enough bs for a while…im waiting for the kings to win this cup and thats it! over and out! Peace to u all and wish u all well…
Las Vegas made a killing on the Pacquaio wagers at -440. Pathetic paper champion said "I have to watch the tape to see if I won." LMFAO, :)) Manny didn't train as hard for this fight, he looked slow and out of form compare to his previous fights, only fighting in the last minute. Still he won the fight easily. Is he on the take too?
What happen to the old idea that if you want to take the champ's belt, you have to dominate the champ and win convincingly? All I see is that Bradley back pedalling more than imposing or controlling the fight.
If boxing loses the hardcore fans, believe me, this whole thing will topple…because this new generation of kids..they don't care about boxing…add me to that list….
@dave-did you even see the 2nd round? that was when bradley was rocked and almost went down, spun around, and injured his ankle. you lost credibility bud.
Arum is just trying to make money. I don't think the Mayweather vs Pacquiao fight is ever going to happen (money lost), so the only other way to make a significant chunk of change is to create some suspense for a rematch or have the "undefeated" Bradley take on the Mayweather (in which case Mayweather whips his ass severely). Pacquiao needs to wisen up and drop Arum.
All of its speculation and none of it is provable. The only evidence we have is, yes the fight was close, in the sense that to the naked eye, without announcers or camera angles, the fight wothuld appear different. The prevailing opinion is that people wathing from home feel manny won. The only person that really wins in the whole equation is arum. But did arum fix the fight? That is tough to say without evidence. Also, neither fighter seemed outraged. Manny seemed content to not raise hell and just go along with the rematch. Bradley seemed more happy with the thought of more money in another fight. The only losers here are the fans. I think we can sit here for an eternity, and specualate about the evil cabal behind it all, but the real and only question is will everyone that watched the fight pay to watch the rematch. This is where fight fans can make real noise if they sink the ppv with less than 300,000 buys, and a half filled areana. But again we must ask can we be that upset at a judged competition. In ice skating judges judge differently than based soley upon fan reaction and fan opinion. This is not american idol where fans can phone in their vote. There will always be a discrepancy between fan opinion and judges scores.
Like Pedro said it was close fight, Even closer than the his obvious loss anginst JMM. there were long peroids of time in rounds where Manny wasnt really doing anything. He ran into a younger, stronger fighter and just simply got outworked. Props to bradley and his team.
Nicely done TIMOTHY BRADLEY!!!!!
@dave – Even if you did not completely watch the whole fight, I know you would still score a shut out win for Bradley. You don't know s*it about boxing bro.
@Dave go watch tennis. You're either trolling or a complete retard. This fight wasn't close.. The same paid off judge used to buy the decision for Brandan Rios a few months ago was used again. This isn't rocket science.. Manny can't ask for 50/50 now…. Bradleys manager Duncan scored the fight 8 rounds to 4 for Pacman. I had it 9-3. Wasn't one person in room of 20 had Bradley winning. Only idiots on the internet who are trolling.
why dont u watch the whole fight firt b4 predicting that pac will get hammered in the rematch. I thought Bradley didnt hurt pac at all. And also, pls read all of the comments above.
How do u score the fight??
"it appears Pacquio was throwing but not landing."
So do bradley. Much more than pac.
@norm, it wasn't close.
Pacquiao held a huge lead in every category of punches and in all percentages. Total punches landed 253-159 (34-19 percent). Power punches landed 190-108 (39-28 percent). Jabs landed 63-51 (24-11 percent)
What i will say guys is watch the whole match with the sound off and make ur own judgement. Ignore the rhetoric from the biased Harold Lederman (who worships Manny and Bob Arum) and just watch the whole match in silence. I have watched the whole match in silence now and i think the match was very close. i have watched the match from an Australian channel, and the commentators had the match close going into the 12th round, and all of them said the decision could go either way.
By the way, at the post match intervies, a banner for the rematch on the 10th of november was allready printed, and if u remember days before this fight, Bradley was allready talking about a rematch, isnt that Strange, i think some evidence for a fixed fight, with Bob anything can happen.
Pedro I sweat me and you must be the only people who have a clue about what us REALLY going on Bob Arum and Top Rank need to seriously be investigated I said this last year and I'm saying it again it is,so so very unfortunate to have to deal with this type of garbage that CONTINUES to follow Top Rank their fighters and Bob Arum it is a Mockery and disrespectful attemot to forever stain,abd pi r damage the integrity of the sport that,we all claim to love….whats more is that the media itself is buying into the bullshit hyperbole of Top Rank and they themselves continue to spew contemptuous bile on the character of Floyd "Money" Mayweather simply because they dont like him and its easier to focus the me on a "Loud Mouthed Black Kid" than it is for an ybody else. To simply dislike this kid for being an asshole is one thing but for tge media to continue to disseminate false information is quite another the media should also be held accountable fir the Mayweather/Pacqiuo fight because they dont tell the truth to tge fans in irder to maintain popularity and continue to shill their fictious stories for tge coin and nothing more…it is said that the media is,as mych a part if the failures of boxing as is, Top Rank Productions and Bob Arum… There is,so much more that,I can say….but Pedro has continuously articulated the,same arguments and all most if you do is turn a blind eye to the inevitable TRUTH….Manny may very well want to fight Floyd but Bob Arum wants no part of that,particular loud mouthedblack kid from Grand Rapids, Michigan…..can Manny beat Floyd in humble opinion a, resounding No…..but unfortunately we will never be able to see it,as Bob Arum made sure if that last night….hopefully im wrobg,abd the fight can be made…..but I honestly done
Pac won!
Well Mr. Fernandez and Others (scratching my head),
I scored the fight 117-111 for Pacquiao. I need to watch the replay without the volume to see if I can somehow figure out the judges in this one.
However, I am going play the advocate for the judges. Pacquiao has to blame himself for not continuing the pressure on Bradley when Bradley was clearly buzzed in the first half of the fight (i.e. rounds 1-7). During the first half of the fight, Pacquiao missed out on golden opportunities to lauch uppercuts while an exhausted Bradley bent over blindly. Pacquiao had golden opportunities to throw right hooks to Bradley's body while he had Bradley in retreat and on the ropes.
Continuing as the judges' advocate – during the second half of the fight (i.e. rounds 8-12) – the judges (including the judge who favored Pacquiao 115-113) may have seen Bradley's aggressivenes (although injured), grit, body punching and jabs as factors to give most of the second half rounds to Bradley; Pacquiao was also going backwards at times, and he looked tired. Perhaps, as analyzed round-by-round in the second half, the two judges looked at the previously mentioned factors to award Bradley the rounds for a narrow victory; and the third judge's close decision for Pacquiao. The judges do not have access to Compubox (thank goodness) after each round because they are supposed to objectively analyze the fight on a round-by-round basis (not by rounds collectively).
Nonetheless, I still had it 117-111 for Pacquiao, but I think I can see why the judges had the scores much closer. Mr. Fernandez, looks like Bradley is in a strong financial position now because "the bottom rail is up," and Pacquiao has to chase Bradley before he can establish a bargaining position for a fight against Floyd. Peace out. E-Man.
we need open scoring from now on to create a sense of urgency in fighters andlet them know not to let it go to the scorecards when the fix is on. These 3 judges should be supended indefinitely and be cell mates with mayweather!
First can someone please look at the official judges scorecards above and count to see if Cj Ross and D. Ford gave Bradley 7 rounds. I counted a few times and see 6 rounds they gave him. Ross gave Bradley 2,5,8,10,11,12. 6 rounds. And Ford gave Bradley 1,5,8,9,10,12. 6 rounds again. So that would mean they gave 6 to pacman and there cards would read 114-114. Now that means the posting of the official cards is incorrect or that this is all just a big misunderstanding and pacman didnt really lose or i cant read, which is very possible. That being said i watched the fight online and it was not very clear resolution, but i had the fight 6 rounds to 6 myself. I saw pacman land alot more punches in the rounds he won and bradley win some close rounds the last 3rd of the fight. That means you may have a rare thing happen, the losing fighter dominates comp-u-box numbers and it the end of the fight it looks like a robbery. Pacman dominated the rounds he won CLEARLY. Bradley's rounds were close. It all DEPENDS on what your looking for. Bradley was more active during the last 5 rounds meaning he threw punches for 3 min. and landed them, although they were not as hard as pacmans they did connect, Punches that connect are scoring punches. Pacman in those last 5 rounds waited until the last min of the round and landed a few good punches maybe the best FEW punches of the entire round BUT is that to say those FEW punches are worth more than Bradley's entire round of work. DEPENDS on how your scoring. To me i say NO, but to many of you, you say YES. I think all the circumstances add up to this=A BAD LOOKING DECISION, If looks bad, feels bad, must be bad RIGHT..there are exceptions to every rule though. I think it was a close fight and pacman should have been given the advantage given he was the champ. But i dont feel that it was a robbery and have seen much worst. Campillo of late, Oscar losing twice to Sugar Shane (the second fight was a worst robbery i believe), Paul Willaims CLEARLy loss to Lara, and there are many more. I can understand some frustration, but not as bad as everyone seems to be.
How do u score the fight?

SPS internships—an experience in learning
With July drawing to a close, many of us are wondering where the summer has gone. It certainly doesn't seem like a full eight weeks since we welcomed the Society of Physics Students (SPS) summer interns. But they are already in the midst of preparing their formal presentations on their summer's work, which they will deliver on Wednesday morning, July 30, at ACP. The SPS program is not about finding cheap labor to help the office play catch-up with administrative activities. It's about contributing to the formative education of bright undergraduate students majoring in physics or related fields. SPS believes that internships in scientific research and outreach/policy help the students achieve a well-rounded, solid understanding of the basics of a scientific discipline and gain insights on how to apply this knowledge in one's life or career. Both are essential components of a good undergraduate experience.
The interns are selected competitively and come from colleges and universities throughout the U.S. They are placed in organizations and agencies in the Washington, DC, metropolitan area, such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, American Physical Society (APS), American Association of Physics Teachers, American Astronomical Society, American Geophysical Union, Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) at the University of Maryland, and, of course, SPS. The students gain professional experience through assignments that are relevant to the institutions' programs and that advance physics or allied sciences.
Gary White began the program eight years ago as he accepted the position as director of SPS and Sigma Pi Sigma, and brought with him his own former student from Northwestern State University, Mark Lentz. Since then, 55 students have gone through the program. They've worked on a range of research projects, including organic semiconductors, cyclodextrins and computational chemistry at NIST, lunar neutron detection research and solar dust at NASA, and various policy and outreach projects, including designing extension activities for APS Physics Quest, developing various collections for ComPADRE (the national science digital library), leading science summer camps for middle schoolers at MRSEC, and designing the annual SPS Outreach Catalyst Kits (SOCKs)—recall the Mentos and Diet Coke experiments from last year that they used to demonstrate propulsion and kinematics? This year they are using Slinkies, Boomwhackers, and other materials to examine the properties of waves.
The interns are serious about work and serious about play. They take full advantage of the arts, history, and other attractions the Washington, DC area has to offer. You can read about their summer experiences in their weekly journals posted on the SPS website.
If you would like to attend the interns' closing presentations on Wednesday morning, please contact SPS today (Monday) to see if there is space available. If your business unit would like to explore the opportunity of mentoring an SPS intern next summer, contact Liz Caron.
If it's Tuesday, this must be Paris
Eight consecutive weeks of eventful travel by Customer Service Accounts manager Tom Thrash recently concluded with a trip to France to visit customers in two different cities. First, there was Paris, the site of the 155th Meeting of the Acoustical Society of America, held as part of the Acoustics'08 Conference. The other city—Strasbourg—which lies about 250 miles east of Paris, is home to the editorial office of one of AIP's newer customers, the Human Frontier Science Program. Site visits, like these, have proven to be a vital part of understanding the needs of our publishing customers, so that we can better assist them in serving the needs of their constituents.
Physics Olympiad nears conclusion
The U.S. physics team is currently competing in Hanoi, Vietnam, in the International Physics Olympiad (July 20-29). For a firsthand account of the team's experience, visit their blog. We'll have more information next week on the outcome of the competition.
The state of high-school physics
In 1986, the Statistical Research Center (SRC) began its first in-depth study of high-school physics. Last week, SRC published a report titled Reaching the Critical Mass, the sixth study in this series. Mike Neuschatz, who recently retired, directed all six of the studies. During the mid-1980s, fewer than 20% of high-school graduates took physics. Twenty years later that figure has surged to one-third of all high-school graduates. It is especially encouraging to note that enrollments increased across all levels of physics courses with AP enrollments increasing fivefold and conceptual course enrollments increasing sixfold over the last two decades. You can find the latest report about high-school physics on the SRC website.
Protect against identity theft
Identity theft is not always as obvious as a stolen wallet; it can happen without your knowledge. There are preventive measures you can take to ensure that your identity does not end up in the wrong hands: shred financial documents, do not carry your social security card on your person, and do not respond to unsolicited e-mails. Monitor your credit report and check your monthly credit card and bank statements for unusual activity. Follow up on bills that do not arrive as expected; be suspicious of unexpected statements. If your identity has been stolen there are three steps you will need to take immediately:
- Contact the fraud departments of the three major credit bureaus;
- Close the accounts you believe have been tampered with; and
- File a police report with your local police or the police in the community where the theft took place.
You can find these steps, outlined in detail, along with other important information on the U.S. Department of Education identity theft website.
The American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) celebrates its 50th year of serving patients, physicians, and physicists: This week more than 3,500 scientists and health professionals from the field of medical physics will convene at the 50th meeting of the AAPM in Houston, TX.
Whether x rays for CT scans, sound waves for ultrasound, magnetic fields for MRI, or antimatter for PET scans, the "stuff" of physics has revolutionized the practice of medicine, and modern medical physics helps to alleviate suffering and ensure the safety of millions of people in the United States each year. Almost all the hospitals in the U.S. today benefit from the work of medical physicists. They help diagnose illness by designing and implementing new and better ways of imaging the human body. They create treatment strategies to fight cancer and other diseases. They take measures for reducing the risk to people undergoing these treatments.
The AAPM meeting covers some of the most interesting topics in medicine, the latest in imaging technologies, and ethical and regulatory issues. The talks vary significantly. Some look at new ways of imaging the human body or focus on treating cancerous tumors and other conditions with x rays, particles from accelerators, and other emissions. Other talks describe how to tailor therapy to the specific needs of people undergoing treatment—how to shape emissions to conform to the shape of a tumor, how to treat children as opposed to adults, or how to adjust treatment as tumors shrink and move as the treatment proceeds.
AAPM is the largest association of medical physicists in the world. It is composed of both scientists who develop cutting-edge technologies in the physics laboratory and board-certified health professionals who use these technologies in the clinic.
We wish them a successful meeting. AIP will participate on many fronts; stay tuned for a report in a future issue of AIP Matters.
We invite your feedback to this newsletter via e-mail to email@example.com.

EDMOND, Okla. – A couple of recent attacks on female joggers around the metro inspired one group to provide a few lessons in safety on Saturday.
"We're having a women's safety forum in light of the women who have been attacked recently while out jogging," Kristin Brittain said.
Brittain is the director of special projects for 'runhers,' a women's lifestyle organization and partner in the forum.
Some of the women at the forum knew what it was like to feel unsafe outdoors.
"I was running out at Lake Hefner a couple of weeks ago and I didn't hear him coming up behind me. When I realized he was a couple of steps behind, I was able to, you know, side-step and get away," Kristin Brittain said
A July 10 attack on a woman walking near I-35 and SE 15th in Edmond had a lot of forum attendees concerned.
Jennifer Monroe, Public Information Officer for the Edmond Police Department, recounts what happened to the woman.
"[The victim] was heading back to her house and somewhere along the frontage road was attacked. She was hit in the head and had pretty major head wounds," Monroe said.
The safety forum, held at Redline Jiu Jitsu in Edmond, covered various scenarios and taught women what to do before, during and after an attack.
The instructors said the Jiu Jitsu moves they taught the women would work just as well for men.

Definitions for TOI
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word TOI
"Toi" was the Luxembourgish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1975, performed in French by Irish singer Geraldine. The entry had a high pedigree, being penned by three authors/composers who had all written/composed previous Eurovision winners. Pierre Cour had been partly responsible for the 1960 winner "Tom Pillibi" and Bill Martin and Phil Coulter had created the 1967 winner "Puppet on a String". The song is a ballad, with Geraldine telling her lover that "my life doesn't exist without you" and pledging her unending love to him. Geraldine recorded the song in two languages; French and her mother tongue English, the latter as "You". Another singer with a similar name, Géraldine, represented Switzerland in the 1967 Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna, finishing last with 'nul points', but as John Kennedy O'Connor's The Eurovision Song Contest - The Official History notes, despite the similarity in name, the two singers are unique. This Geraldine later married the song's composer, Phil Coulter. The song was performed fifth on the night. At the close of voting, it had received 84 points, placing 5th in a field of 19.

My mother in law has given us a crap load of sweeten Apple sauce . Can I use this for cider making ? It has nothing added to it..
hmm. Strain some (pour it in a muslin bag and squeeze out as much fluid as you can?) and take a specific gravity on it.
I mean, yes, it'll ferment like crazy with apple-y bits and a ton of sugar.. but I'd be worried for the texture. that's a lotta pectin you know
(eagerly following)
Who will try to ferment just about anything
"You guys just wanna get bombed and run around yelling yarr we're vikings!"
I would treat it with Pectic enzyme and add water to it... maybe about 4:1 (4 parts water to 1 part sauce to start) Let it sit covered, over night, in a cool place like the fridge and then I would pore it through a straining cloth and taste the liquid that comes out. if it has good flavor than I would check the SG if the SG is high enough bring the temp up to 160º to kill any contaminants, let it cool, pitch the yeast and go. If it does not taste good enough increase the sauce to water ratio and let it sit again. Repeat the process until you have a good flavor. If the SG is to low add some sugar. The best advice I can give you is...
1. use pectic enzyme
2. make sure it tastes good before you pitch the yeast as what you start with will have a direct effect on the final taste.
3. Make sure you check the SG AFTER the pectic enzyme has done its job AND AFTER you filter out the sauce chunks as these two things will give you a reading that is not accurate.
I wouldn't suggest adding water. It would just dilute it.
I'd be tempted to ferment it as apple sauce. Fermentation will liquify it a bit. When fermentation is almost done, you could hang it in a muslin bag and let the liquid drain into a bucket. I probably wouldn't have suggested this a month ago due to oxidation concerns, but we recently did something similar. We crushed some apples in a grape crusher and fermented the apple pulp. When fermentation was almost done, we put it in a wine press. I was skeptical, but it worked pretty well.
I would trade the perfectly good applesauce for some perfectly good juice... and then I'd try to make some cider.
Well my friend that would be no fun ....
Make yourself a batch of mead. Then rack over to the sauce of a while.
What I smoke has a sting to it.

TV Ratings Report: HIMYM Hits Series Highby Matt Richenthal at . Comments
The How I Met Your Mother finale garnered more than just abysmal reviews from fans across the nation last night.
It also earned a series high in ratings, with 12.9 million total viewers tuning in and 5.3 rating among 18-49-year olds.
Scroll down for a full look at Monday's results...
Matt Richenthal is the Editor in Chief of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Twitter and on Google+.Tags: TV Ratings
First for mom is that supposed to be 72 million or is it supposed to be 7.2 million. I loved the HIMYM finale. I didn't see the ending coming and it was a nice twist. I am really going to miss the show.
to all those who did not appreciate the way HIMYM came to an end, it is sad that not everyone can appreciate the finale for what it was. but I will say this if you don't have anything positive to say then rather just keep it to yourself. the cast and crew of the show poured their life into the show for many years and to try and take away from them now the moment to savour what they have accomplished with this show is truly uncalled for. at least try to show some decency, instead of just crapping on someone's accomplishments.
And how many of the people that watched desperately wish they could get that hour back?

There have been many a times when I forgotten to carry out tasks I was supposed to do just because I plain forgot them. I do write them down but sometimes those notes get neglected too. Tasks as simple as calling someone on a specific day or your doctors appointment can be forgotten quite easily.
To overcome this I use a simple method so that I can get a SMS message a couple of hours before I am supposed to do something. You do not require to pay anything except if your cell phone provider charges you for incoming SMS messages.
Ok before I start the explanation, here are the tools you require for getting SMS Reminders of your tasks on your cell phone. First a cell phone itself and the second tool is a Google Calendar account.
Google Calendar is a very popular Calendar tool that allows you to add events and manage them online. Google Calendar also has a nice little feature that sends you a SMS reminder before the event is to occur. Using this feature you can get SMS Reminders for all your tasks and never forget another appointment again :-).
Here are the instructions on how you can setup SMS reminders for your tasks.
1. Create and setup Google Calendar
If you do not already have a Google Calendar account, you can sign for one at http://calendar.google.com. Once you have signed you will be shown a screen to setup your country and time zones. Once you have done that you can start using Google Calendar.
If you already have a Google Calendar account you can skip this step and move to the second step.
2. Setup your Mobile in Google Calendar
In order for you to receive a SMS message from Google Calendar you will first have to setup a cell phone in the settings. To do that click on the Settings link in the top right hand corner and select Mobile Setup sub tab.
You will see that your Phone notifications is disabled. To enable it you will have to provide your Country, Phone number and Carrier. You can see a complete list of supported carriers for your country to make sure your carrier is supported.
Once you fill up the above form and click on the Send Verification Code you will receive a SMS with your verification code in it, enter the code into the same form and click on Finish Setup. That's it you can now start receiving SMS alerts for your events.
Once you have finished setting up your mobile, the next step details on how you can start creating events and receive SMS reminders for them.
3. Setup your Notification Options
Once you have successfully validated your cell phone you will be taken to another page where you can setup your default notifications for invitations and events, you can choose to receive them via Email or SMS. I left this screen as default as I only want to get important reminders via SMS.
If you want to get SMS reminders for all the invitations and events you can do it in this options page.
If you select global notification for all events to be sent to your cell phone via a SMS then you have completed the trick and can ignore the next step. If you have not done it yet then you can follow the instructions in the next step.
4. Create a Event in Google Calendar
Since we will be using a calendar let us call the task a event that has to occur on a particular date. Login to your account at Google Calendar account and setup the time zones and country and mobile as detailed in the earlier steps if you have not already done it yet.
Do not use the Quick Add option to add the event instead use the Create Event link as we will have to setup the reminders to be sent for the event.
Once you are in the main create event page, add your event and then select the options tab below the event. In this since in the earlier step I had only selected the pop-up, I will have to add the other reminder options by clicking on Add a reminder link.
I setup a event for a appointment with my dentist and as a reminder option I have setup to be reminded by SMS 2 hours before the event. This event is fake and just an example to show you how to setup the SMS reminder :-).
Once you have done that click on save and your all done. 2 hours before the event you will receive a SMS reminding you about the task you have to do :-).
You can add any number of events to receive SMS reminders. Do check with your local carriers first if you will be charged for incoming SMS as this may differ from carrier to carrier.
Important Note: To make sure that you get the SMS at the right time, do ensure to verify that you have setup the proper time zone in your Google Account. To do this you can go to Settings -> General and select your proper time zone.
Hope you like this trick and it will help you to never forget a task again. Do let me know your views on this through your valuable comments. Looking forward to hear you experience with using this trick.

Rated 3 out of 5�by Sommersprossen It's ok I loved this sweater when I saw it, got it and the bad thing about it is that the sleeves are extremely long. I'm not tall and while the length of the sweater fits perfect the sleeves are super long and does not look like the model. I got it at the store for around $30 + tax and so disappointed that is a final sale. I will have to find a way to wear it. Sometimes Bebe has the sizes so weird, they should consider that not all girls are tall and skinny like the models. January 3, 2014

Perfect small bookshelf monitors.
KRK has redesigned its wildly popular Rokit series of studio monitors, providing a broader frequency response, a new cabinet design, an adjustment in power for better balance, and several other enhancements. All three models feature a front-firing port that provides low frequency extension without boundary coupling, an improved speaker voicing for even more accurate frequency response, a 1" silk dome tweeter, and an Aramid glass composite woofer. They are lightweight, low profile and are offered at a price that makes professional-level monitoring affordable for even the most humble studios.
Other monitors have ports on the back of the cabinet. These rear-firing ports tend to create bass coupling with walls and corners amplifying low frequency information which will color your mix. The KRK Generation 3 Rokit studio monitor's design includes front-firing ports, which are just the right shape and taper to reduce port turbulence. You'll appreciate the clean and accurate bass performance this approach delivers, even at high SPL's.
A great-sounding monitor doesn't stop with a great cabinet and custom drivers. KRKs true bi-amplified amplifier system provides discrete low-distortion power for each driver. While the active crossover systems provide smooth and accurate frequency response, and again, accurate diffraction control.

Comments about KRK Rokit Powered 8" Generation 3:
I read a bunch of reviews recommending this monitor. Ordered two: both were DOA. Returned them & ordered two more. One worked, the other took two months to fail. Called KRK repair. "[KRK] does not reimburse for shipping." After experiencing a 75% failure rate (in this case), and losing the cost for shipping and time, I realize the value of good service. I don't believe warranty service should cost the customer, and I don't recommend these speakers, or anything else by KRK.
The sound? Meh. I got more bass response (and more control options) out of a pair of M-Audio BX-8s. The KRKs have been a lousy experience.

Comments about KRK Rokit Powered 8" Generation 3:
These monitors I would consider the top of the line for Novice/Intermediate studios. They are clear enough that you can use them for just about anything you need studio monitors for. If you are a severe audiophile and sensitive to every nuance, you MAY see a benefit in goign to a higher caliber speaker. The point is for most audiences in recording today, these will be better than anything your listeners will use to hear it. If it sounds good on these, it will sound good on just about everything else. The only cons to them are the use in conjunction with the 10s sub-woofer and cabling and the tendency to give a loud thud when your audio interface comes online but that goes for nearly all monitors so no big deal.

Please like our page to help spread the word about devastations such as this to help prevent them from happening to other sites!
Photograph by Jaime Awe, NICH Belize/AP
Published May 15, 2013
Despite its small size, the Caribbean country of Belize is known for a few outstanding characteristics: a spectacular barrier reef, a teeming rain forest, and extensive Maya ruins.
It now has one fewer of those ruins.
A construction company in Belize has been scooping stone out of the major pyramid at the site of Nohmul (meaning Big Mound), one of only 15 ancient Maya sites important enough to be noted on the National Geographic World Atlas.
The National Institute of Culture and History of Belize had earlier noted that "the site continues to be destroyed by road construction crews who bulldoze the mounds for gravel."
But now it appears that nearly the entire main pyramid, once standing over 60 feet tall, has been destroyed by road building crews, said John Morris, associate director of research at Belize's Institute of Archaeology. The institute is a department of the Belize Ministry of Tourism and Culture.
Authorities discovered the destruction late last week.
All of Belize's ancient Maya sites are protected by law. The Institute of Archaeology plans to investigate the destruction and take those responsible to court, Morris said.
"This Maya site is well known to the local community, who have worked on various projects at the site," he said. "The Institute of Archaeology is going to use this opportunity to really embark on a national awareness campaign for the preservation and protection of the country."
Though the site of Nohmul had not yet been developed for tourism, it had been excavated off and on since the early 1900s after first being recorded as a site in 1897.
Nohmul, in Belize's northern tip, experienced two major periods of monumental building, the first dating to 300 B.C. or even earlier.
The site lies on private land, and there has been a lot of other activity in the area, including the burning of cane fields, which could be why the backhoes weren't detected sooner.

Jesus Christ! What the is wrong with those people.
Fue extremadamente triste cómo destruyeron una ciudad con tanta historia por contar, Nohmul aún tenía mucho que ofrecer a los investigadores de la cultura Maya: http://mayanworld.travel/nohmul-en-belize/
This reminds me of the buddha of bamiyan statues that were blown away by the taliban a decade ago, of course this case being much less severe, should not take less notice of. There needs to be more awareness that places like these never come back, and after the destruction, only a memory is left
I would have included Rachel Carson in this list. She, like the others on the list, was roundly denounced and her work suppressed even by her department chairman who, in public, referred to her as "that little WOMAN" and in private as "that little b****."
Undeterred, she wrote the classic "Slient Spring" which went on to become a best seller allowing her to break through the walls of opposition and become a household name. Her work, along with the images of a burning Cuyahoga River, led to the creation of the EPA. The man who signed the bill making it the law of the land was none other than Richard Nixon.
It is ignorance of a people and the absence of a government, gathered all evil, that unfortunate nation.
A story like this makes me very deeply dissappointed. The ancient people have accomplished feates of architechture and stone masonry that modern man cannot replicate given all the money and all the technology in the known universe. This is truely the epitome of ignorance. Why couldnt they have destroyed a local brothel or a night club , they had to choose a 2300 year old ancient monument that probably took decades and more than a sea of sweat and tears to build from nothing more than dirt and that was built with such resilience that it withstood the test of time but regret, not the test of the modern man's stupidity
Maybe this problem could be prevented in the future with a campaign to spread the notion of guardianship to these areas so people like these can have a different view and aspect of such wonders of the world...
Hell Yea! The loss of any historical site is an awful thing but this makes me happy! Put those close minded scumbags in their place! Trying to make money quicker by being lazy and unnecessarily destroying heritage? Well now look where that's gotten you. Time to lose some money baby! Low-lives getting what they deserve=Perfect!
This is the result of colonization. When there are no roots, and no love for the land where you live, you get people like this so called "beliceños", who have no problem in destroying the legacy of those who came before them, a legacy of humanity, protected by law. The few Mayans descendants, on the other side of the border should not let this crime go unpunished. This will only add fuel to the "we want Belice back" issue.
Can the Mayans get some respect, we have idiots like this destroying a monument, then there are those claiming that the Mayans are extinct when in fact the Mayans are alive and well living peacefully in southern Belize, I can only assume that the idea to disseminate information that the Mayans are extinct is only to help the Guatemalan government who are historically genocidal and would gladly repeat this practice of wiping out these people if allowed to fulfill their claim on Belize, yes the Mayans are not extinct they are alive and well they have lived in most of Belize and still is, Belize is their ancestral land as can be told from the temples scattered throughout the country, so guess what Guatemala whatever claim you have go take it up with Great Britain because Belize belongs to the Mayans.
I find this horrifying
@Orin Smith Why are you spreading hate against my country. There is no relation between this article and Guatemala. Sure the Mayan's descendants are very much alive and not extinct, most of them in Guatemala by the way, and sure, we want our stolen territory back, because the UK ripped us off. And since recently we are part of the list of genocidal governments like USA and the British empire, which was perpetrated because you guys and your "comunism" and Cold War. So don't refere to us like a bunch of savages and greedy people when that is not the case. You are talking about Guatemala, when Belice are the bad guys in this news. If this had happened on our side, it would be all over the news and the people responsible will wake up the next day jobless, and nationally hated.
@Juan Lopez @Orin Smith Orin I don't believe he was attempting to speak ill of your country or people. He was bringing attention to the fact that the guatemalan government hasn't been necessarily friendly to these ancient people or sights.

Corruption costs: Saudi citizens would be four times better off without bribes
An economic expert predicts a rise in the per capita income in Saudi Arabia from 78,750 Saudi riyals ($20,000) to 315,000 Saudi riyals ($83,000) if the concerned entities succeed in putting an end to the financial and administrative corruption in the Kingdom.
The director general of research and economic studies at the Council of Saudi Chambers, Dr. Maghawri Shalabi revealed that the private sector spends $20 to $30 billion per year on bribes, while the global corruption costs $2 trillion, according to World Bank reports.
Shalabi told Saudi's al-Jazirah daily that the Saudi corruption index was 2 points in 1997, then reached 4.5 in 2003, and it improved in 2006 to 3.3 points, before deteriorating again to reach 4.7 points, placing the kingdom at the 50th rank in corruption on the global level, and the sixth on the Middle East and North Africa level.
Many economic analysts and experts criticized indices and numbers published from international organizations about the per capita income in Saudi Arabia, labeling them as "misleading" and inaccurate. They even warned against taking them as reference, even if they originated from the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, or from Arab research centers.
Experts told al-Eqtissadya daily that those numbers do not reflect the real financial solvency of Saudi individuals, noting that they usually aim at convincing decision-makers, while harming the interests of the citizens.
According to a study by the Asbar Studies Center for Research and Communications on the income distribution in the Arab world, the IMF has raised the per capita income estimations in Saudi Arabia from 81,200 Saudi riyals ($21,600) in 2011 to 87,277 ($23,000) Saudi riyals in 2012.
And according to the Global Wealth Report, published by Credit Suisse Research Institute, the average per capita income of the adult in Saudi Arabia was raised by 56% in 2011, in comparison with the year 2000, to reach $35,959.
In May 2011, Saudi Arabia established the National Anti-corruption Commission to combat corruption and appointed Mohammad bin Abdullah al-Sharif as president -- at the rank of minister -- and put all the government bodies under its jurisdiction, focusing on upholding transparency and combating financial and administrative fraud in the government.
