You have to be clever to beat him. If you are going to just try and pressure and look busy then before you know it the bell has rung for round 9 and you are needing a KO to win.
He tends to discourage most of his opponents and thats why you see them somewhat give up mentally, because their plans aren't even semi-working and they are clueless what to do next. |

Actually I think the best way to go would be to outfloyd floyd.
Back up just enough to make him chase you then jump in with a lead right left hook as he gets settled in the pocket. Jmm had very good success against him at times with it, landing as clean as anyone ever had, but just wasnt able to hurt floyd with the massive weight disadvantage. |

To beat Floyd, a fighter must be just as skilled as Floyd, if not more. Skills is the name of the game, and the next is knowledge. A high boxing IQ. If you don't have either of those two, there is little chance other than luck or Floyd slacking on preparation. |

Labor Program to Target Child Soldier Use
Associated Press
WASHINGTON - Labor Secretary Elaine Chao announced a $13 million initiative Wednesday to help eliminate the use of children as soldiers in more than 30 countries and to help those who were enslaved.
The forced recruitment and use of children as combatants is one of the worst forms of child labor," Chao said, opening a two-day conference on the issue. "It is a moral outrage and must be stopped. All nations have got to come together to put an end to this evil."
More than 300,000 children under age 18 are fighting in armed conflicts around the world, with almost half in central Africa, according to the International Coalition to Stop the Use of Child Soldiers. Most of the children are between ages 15 and 18, but some are as young as age 7.
The initiative includes a $7 million global project distributed by the International Labor Organization to help former child soldiers in Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Republic of Congo, Rwanda, Uganda, the Philippines, Sri Lanka and Colombia.
Another $3 million will be spent on education for such children in Uganda. Also, $3 million will go to help child soldiers in Afghanistan through UNICEF.
Former child soldiers attended the conference to tell their stories about being forced to become soldiers, spies, guards, human shields, mine sweepers, decoys, servants and sex slaves. Many children are drugged.
Chao said she became aware of the atrocities when she was director of the Peace Corps and president of United Way of America.
"The plight of child soldiers offends the world's sense of decency and the code of conduct of civilized nations," she said.
The initiative will be administered by the Labor Department's Bureau of International Labor Affairs, for which global child labor is a significant focus. That bureau is facing massive budget cuts. President Bush has proposed a $42.3 million reduction in 2004 to just $12.3 million.

The Music We're Most Pumped About for 2014
While everyone was compiling their year-end-lists on deadline, or submitting their 2014 previews, we've had the luxury of no one demanding such things from us. Now, really, the only joy in these sorts of exercises might be taunting John Schaefer with the freer time which comes from not hosting two daily shows (& countless other events), and then finally feeling guilty enough to share the things that the staff stumbled upon while not compiling Listener Poll data. Just to defy low expectations, and to continue to avoid actually BEING on air, here's another in the series of "Rogue" New Sounds Staff posts and it's a long one - in two parts.
Comments [2]
gosh! what an allemandes : ) fulfilling hour and huge smiles! Room Full of Teeth blows me away thank you : )
I downloaded Roomful of Teeth, so no notes. Therefore, I found this show very informative, very helpful. Thank you.

Article ID: 28855 - View products that this article applies to. This article was previously published under Q28855 This article has been archived. It is offered "as is" and will no longer be updated. On This PageSummary
(Note that Microsoft QuickBasic for MS-DOS, versions 3.0 and earlier have no long integer format or CLNG function) When a numeric expression ending in .5 is assigned to an integer variable, a compiled Basic program will round the expression to the nearest even integer. For example, .5 converts to 0, 1.5 converts to 2, 2.5 converts to 2, and 3.5 converts to 4. This rounding to the nearest even integer occurs for the CINT and CLNG functions and for an integer division assigned to an integer or long integer variable. This behavior is a feature of the IEEE Floating Point Standard. More information
This type of integer rounding complies with the following IEEE
"If the difference between the unrounded operand and the rounded
result is exactly one half, the rounded result is even" (Section
5.5 of the "IEEE Standard for Binary Floating-Point Arithmetic")
The purpose of this behavior is to prevent an average upward (or
downward) bias as various calculations are rounded. If the number is
always rounded up, there would be an upward bias in calculations.
Rounding to the nearest even number averages out; therefore, no
rounding bias occurs.
The compilers listed above store and manipulate numbers using IEEE format. This exclusive use of IEEE format for real numbers is necessary to enable compiled Basic to CALL routines written in FORTRAN, Pascal, and C, all of which use IEEE format. QB.EXE (noncoprocessor) version 3.0 and QuickBasic for MS-DOS, versions 1.0, 1.01, 1.02, 2.0, and 2.01 all store numbers in Microsoft Binary Floating Point format (also known as MBF). Note that QB87.EXE, the coprocessor version of QuickBasic for MS-DOS, version 3.0, uses IEEE format. QuickBasic for MS-DOS, versions 1.x, 2.0, and 2.01 do not support IEEE (or 8087, 80287, or 80387) coprocessors. Microsoft Binary format uses a standard different from that of IEEE for converting between floating point and integers. In particular, numbers with "5" as the least significant digit are always rounded up to the next integer. The result does not have to be an even number. Thus, the Microsoft Binary format has an upward rounding bias. Note that QuickBasic for MS-DOS, versions 3.0 and earlier cannot make interlanguage CALLs to FORTRAN, Pascal, or C. Listed below are two examples of the above rounding behavior. To execute these examples in VBDOS.EXE use the following steps:
Example 1The following is an example of always rounding expressions ending in .5 to an even number by integer assignment:
Example 2The following is an example of rounding of the CINT() function:
CINT (0.5) = 0 | 1 CINT (1.0) = 1 | 1 CINT (1.5) = 2 | 2 CINT (2.0) = 2 | 2 CINT (2.5) = 2 | 3 Properties |

Hey. lookin to get good feedback on the pros/cons of EBB and DWC systems? i have the parts to make either one and want to start making it tomorrow. Basically wondering.. Which yeilds more? Which grows faster? Which is easier? which is more dependable?... and any other gripes or rants you have about either setup. Would love to hear ffrom people who have used both setups... Thanks for all of your help!
Welcome to Rollitup I had this very debate with myself several months back, while it was more expensive on the short term, i settled on ebb and flow for several reasons; -by not having the roots submerged 24/7 they will be healthier and less prone to rot. -Its much more convienient to have a reservoir seperate from your plants when changing water/cleaning it. -the experts generally agree that active hydro will out-yield passive hydro, and my growing hero Al B Fuct grows ebb and flow. -its much easier to do a perpetual harvest sea of green (in my opinion) with flood tables I'm definitely happy with my choice and would reccomend it to anyone. I take plants straight from my aerocloner into the tables under 1000w hps @ 12/12 They flood 3 times per lights on for 12 minutes and go unwatered when the lights are off. Its only my first run, but even with the tiny, unhealthy clones i cut i should yield between 10-25 grams per plant. I can't say enough good things about ebb and flow. As i said, im still pretty green to hydro, but if i can help you in any way feel free to ask.
I am a newbie too... On my first DWC Bubbler grow and the shit is out of control. I think if you're talking accelerated growth for larger plants the debate may take the face of DWC vs AERO. For SOG setups, I'd have to say Ebb&Flow... But I do like the SOG setups with Ebb&Flow... Check my grow out if you like... plants just got big quick. The more air the better. I have about 2 airstones per res with no root rot whatsoever. Been running pretty smoothly and am just nearing the end of the 5th week of FLOWER. Hope this adds a bit... Peace. Peace.
Think about ur decission carefully. Both methods are great and will bring u the same results as long as u have ur machine functioning on all levels man. Id love to do Ebb bro. Just dont have the room. These same principles can be applied to any style of growth. 4 plants/sq.ft Rooted clones directly into 12/12. ( Preferably Stem Top Cuttings ) Lollipopping ( If Needed ) So its really ur option. If u have the room Id say go with EBB. However root rot can happen in any system if the res is not taken care of and maintained properly. With all this in mind. U can easily grow Sog in dwc.Im doing it now. 18 gallon tub. 3 sq.ft. surface area space. 12 plants per tub. 1/2 to over 1 oz./plant. Sometimes the roots like to be submerged it all depends on the air in the tank and doing simple routine water changes. Also neccesary for every method of hydro. Hope that helps.

Moving Day - any hints?
(9 Posts)We are moving house next week and I can think of 2 options for my cat on moving day to ensure she is safe
1 - I take her round a friends house on moving morning and shut her in the utility room for the day so she is safe and collect her and bring her to new home once removal men have been and gone.
2- I take her to new house but she would have to be left in cat carrier for a couple of hours so I know she wont escape from new house with removal men in and out.
Both these sound a bit boring or stressful so what has everyone else done when moving house please? I intend to keep her inside for a few weeks when we move and then gradually let her our so she gets to know where her new house is. Does this sound right? We are only moving 1 mile so I am worried about her going back to old house
Can you get her in a cattery for two days?
Keep her in for a month so she doesn't go back to the old house.
I think the cattery is the best option too.
I have had to move my neurotic cat a few times, shes the sort that freaks if we rearrange furniture or get a new rug! (she actually refused to set foot on a new rug for a good few months last year?) Anyway last move was least stressful, we put her in catbox and left her in new house bathroom with water, litter tray and her box open to get out. Once the removalmen left we ppened bathroom door and let her come out in her own time (12 hours). Good luck!
We're moving next week too. My plan is to put our two cats in their boxes and then keep them shut in the conservatory at new place with water and litter tray until removal men gone. Then I'll try and keep them in the house for two weeks. We are only moving five minutes away and one of my cats likes to roam but is well known in the village.
My vet recommended Feliway which you can get as a plug in or a spray and is meant to give out feel good pheromones to settle cats. On my vet's advice we started using the plug in two days ago to start calming the cats in preparation for the move - since plugging it in, one cat has cried pitifully and continually and the other had frantically scratched at the door. I have just turned it off and all is calm again. Not the best £35 I have spent.
Does the conservatory get a lot of sun? On a hot day you run the risk of them overheating.
Thankfully conservatory is an old style brick one and quite cool but I'll check them frequently anyway. As soon as removal guys have gone, I'll give cats the run of the house.
I borrowed a good-sized dog crate so my cat could stretch his legs, have some food and sleep too. It was big enough for his litter tray to go on as well. I put it in what I hoped would be the quietest room in the house and also covered it partly with a blanket so he could 'hide' if he wanted to.
He sulked for a good while but seemed ok.
Well - we moved today and this is what we did ... my neighbour shut the cats into one of her bedrooms for the morning (this didn't bother them as they quite often crept into her house over the years). They then spent an hour in the conservatory at the new place before we introduced them to the rest of the house. We let them have a few rooms at a time rather than overwhelming them with the whole house. Currently asleep with my boys and seem undisturbed by the experience so far. Will now keep them indoors for at least a week. Good luck with your move op.

Has your Chuck Greene gone over the edge? Then you'll likely wanna check out the first bit of Dead Rising 2 DLC, the Psychopath Skills Pack, available today on Xbox Live and PSN for 160 Microsoft Points and $1.99, respectively.
Though the Comic-Con festivities don't technically kick off until tomorrow, Capcom's getting things startedearly with a batch of new character announcements for Marvel vs. Capcom 3. From the Marvel universe, iron-clad antagonist Doctor Doom will be making a nefarious appearance, along with the multifaceted Super Skrull. From Capcom's titles, the pint-sized powerhouse Chun-Li joins the fray, as does Devil May Cry's femme fatale, Trish.
Check out some gameplay footage featuring these new characters in the video posted after the jump, or catch a glimpse of some of their special abilities in the gallery below. Also, doesn't Super Skrull have like, every power ever? That hardly seems fair.

Once here, Thor learns what it takes to be a true hero when the most dangerous villain of his world sends the darkest forces of Asgard to invade Earth.
The screenplay for "Thor" was penned by Mark Protosevich as well as Ashley Miller & Zack Stentz, and Don Payne. Marvel Studios' President Kevin Feige will produce the film. Alan Fine, Stan Lee, David Maisel, and Marvel Studio's Co-President, Louis D'Esposito, will executive produce.
Some movies are going into this year's Comic-Con as returning heroes (like Tron Legacy, which has been shown off to great effect for two years running) or sure things (like Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, which could have been conceived in a Comic-Con test tube), but there are several big films that have a lot to prove at the Con — and a lot to lose. Here are six properties that could go either way:
Just a few short months ago, Thor seemed to have everything going for it: a deep ensemble cast full of respected actors like Anthony Hopkins and Natalie Portman, a fresh face in Chris Hemsworth, and a name director in Kenneth Branagh (whose last attempt at genre filmmaking is probably best overlooked). Unfortunately, each overlit photo released or leaked from the production has shaken fanboy confidence in the picture, and now it's time for the first look at footage to either dispel all doubts or confirm them.
The Green Hornet
Michel Gondry isn't just a director that white people like — he's an inventive talent and an intriguing choice for Sony to make to helm The Green Hornet. Still,that recent trailer didn't exactly stick the landing, and the announcement that the film will be converted into 3D spooked fans who've had to put up with subpar visual conversions all year. To build buzz, expect Hornet to launch a full-scale charm offensive at the Con with full scenes screened and Seth Rogen holding court over Gondry and costar Jay Chou at the panel.
Sucker Punch
Zack Snyder's follow-up to Watchmen could either be this year's Kick-Ass — one of the smaller properties that turns into a buzz sensation at the Con — or it could give ammo to his detractors that claim Snyder is a one-trick, speed-ramping pony. At the very least, it should be interesting to see what the hell they've been making all this time, and I'd love to watch fanboys react to Carla Gugino's musical number.
Green Lantern
Green Lantern hasn't inspired the amount of chatter that Thor has, but the two comic book properties have followed similar trajectories: They put together good casts with a solid director at the helm (in this case, Casino Royale's Martin Campbell), but the first released pictures were more head-scratching than awe-inspiring. Maybe that striated suit they've put on Ryan Reynolds will look better in actual footage, but how much will the still-shooting film have to show?
Captain America
The casting race for Captain America's title role was a nail-biter, but since the film has settled into its shoot, buzz has cooled considerably. You'd never know this movie was coming out just two short months after the talked-about Thor, but maybe its underdog status will work in the Captain's favor. Could Marvel show something that will make Captain America the sleeper hit in its Avengersarsenal?
The Avengers
And then there's The Avengers itself. Joss Whedon is expected to be officially confirmed as the film's writer-director at the Marvel panel, and it's rumored that he'll bring out the entire Avengers cast (if they can find a Hulk replacement in time, that is). Still, there's a concern that Marvel may be putting the cart before the horse; after all, one of the Avengers heroes may be a phenomenon (Iron Man), but another has performed only so-so theatrically (The Hulk), and two of the crucial characters (Thor and Captain America) have yet to launch. One question I've got: Will there be any notable women in this cast besides Scarlett Johansson? Iron Man's four-quadrant appeal owes quite a bit to the we-like-her-in-this Gwyneth Paltrow, but how far down the Avengers credit block will you have to go to find someone other than Robert Downey Jr. who can be counted on to draw in women? We'll soon see.
In the upcoming movie Salt, Angelina Jolie returns to what made her a star - kicking ass. We took a look at her filmography to come up with her ass-kickingest best to share with you.
TMZ has learned ... Jennifer Aniston just got a restraining order against a man who was arrested after prowling around a place she frequents -- and the man had a sharp object, duct tape and is considered violent.
According to the docs,
Sixteen hours ago, one of Conan O'Brien's writers Tweeted that they received a dispatch saying their Emmy category would not be shown during NBC's primetime telecast.
"NOT 'NBC' but someone with power has kicked us in the nuts again! ... wow, unbelievable! but the powers that be has sent us an email saying that the category we are nominated for will not be televised this year! really?" wrote Deon Cole.
The Tweet set off a couple outraged blog posts, with surely more to come, about how O'Brien is getting shafted from the Emmys, along with some darkly conspiratorial speculation.
"How is this NOT something [Jay Leno is] orchestrating?" wrote one.
Here's the deal. Cole's Tweet is perfectly accurate ... yet there's some key context missing.
According to a TV Academy spokesperson, before last year's Emmys, the Academy and the guilds agreed that the writing and directing categories for outstanding variety, musical or comedy (or "VCM") series would alternate each year from the primetime telecast to cut down on the show's length. Last year, the VCM writing/directing series slots were in the CBS telecast; this year they will move to the Creative Arts Awards, which will also be televised, on Saturday, Aug. 21.
So, yes, the winner for outstanding VCM writing will not be presented live in primetime Emmys, a category for which O'Brien's "Tonight Show" is nominated.
The overall outstanding VCM series category (the big one, in other words) for which O'Brien is nominated, the one that drew all the headlines when the Emmy nominations were announced ... that is IN the Emmy telecast.
So, really, no conspiracy. (And, frankly, no real story, either, but needed to kill time before ratings came out anyway).
He would at least be creative with the blog topics, I heard that he's pretty funny.
What would Conan do?

star this review starred report as inappropriateThe show wasn't as exciting as it was in past years.
Don't miss Fully Charged, the all-new surge of circus entertainment from Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey®, where megawatts of thrills explode off the arena floor with breathtaking dare-devilry, superhuman stunts and never-before-seen performances that energize children of all ages!
The most electrifying edition ever of Ringling Bros.® celebrates performance power that boosts circus-goer excitement. The amazing acts, which can only be seen at The Greatest Show On Earth®, include Tabayara, a dynamic animal trainer whose rare ability to communicate with animals allows him to ride rearing stallions at a fully charged gallop and orchestrate majestic four-ton Asian Elephants in a symphony of dance. When he stands inside a cage, eye-to-eye with 12 ferocious tigers, Tabayara sees family where others see danger.
Audiences will feel the earth shake when the Ukrainian strongman duo of Dmitry Nadolinkskiy and Ruslan Gilmulin, who are as wide as they are tall, enter the arena. The brawny twosome give the word manpower a whole new meaning as they lift large cumbersome telephone poles, which weigh up to half a ton, and twirl them above their heads while acrobats balance atop.
The Fearless Fernandez Brothers dial up the thrills as they perform daring feats of athleticism on the Twin Turbines of Steel, including extreme jumps and twists inside the moving wheels! Audiences will crackle with excitement as they watch Guillermo perform a 360 degree flying forward somersault, three stories in air, a feat so difficult it has only been attempted by one other person in the 141-year history of Ringling Bros. The Human Fuse, Brian Miser, sets the arena sky ablaze as he rockets through the air from his self-made human crossbow. Don't blink as he flashes across the sky in less than a second, and travels 80 feet at 65 miles per hour.
Ever wonder how many clowns it takes to change a light bulb? The hilarious hoopla continues to flow as the clowns from the world-famous Ringling Bros.® clown-alley, charge-up the audiences' funny bones with hysterical silly antics and clownish comedy.

Girls, Science, and Math
ROSE Blog: Rikki's Open Source Exchange
Yes, this is slightly off topic for this blog, but it caught my eye. A Miami University study indicates that girls like science and math better in the 4th grade than they do in the 8th grade. According to the study, the good news – if you can call it that – is that girls lose interest in subjects across the board and don't seem to single out math and science. But the even better news is that "as they become college students, some females regain their interest in sciences: At Miami's Oxford campus, there are more female majors than male in botany, microbiology and zoology."

@seanalyn: Ah, well thanks for letting me know seanalyn. I can understand why they'd do it that way and I definitely wouldn't want to get them in any trouble with the law. Especially on what promises to be such a joyous day of festivities!
Yeah I'm going. I just got over being sick, this is my first Thursday off in about 2 months, and I live about 45 minutes away from SF. Timing couldn't be better. I plan on going with a friend but hes only 20. I'll still be there if they're strict on the age restriction. If anyone know if they'll turn people away for not being 21 please let me know. Thanks and hopefully I'll see some of you duders out there!

time travelling ... it's all about love
My favourite was inscribed by my Mom. She was much younger than Margaret, age 7 in 1930 when she wrote this. Made me giggle. I wonder what she thought it meant?
Margaret May is your name Toronto is your station lucky is the little boy that makes the alterations. |
Mom (right) and Aunt Margaret, circa 1930. Mom used to tell me her mother put a bowl over her head and trimmed her hair around it. She hated the look. I can see why! |
The next two are from Margaret's mother and father, my grandparents. I spent a lot of time with Grandma and Grandpa as a youngster and their familiar handwriting and wise advice really tugs at my heart.
Look up and not down Out and not in Forward and not back And lend a hand. - Father |
There is room for me in your album, There is room for you in my heart, There is room for us both in heaven, Where true friends never part. - Mother |
Happy Valentine's Day!

a little more beta, for those who find themselves wandering the central mexico rock scene. once you get to bernal, attempt the maze of uphill side streets until you find yourself at the base of the rock. a few pesos will pay the parking fees. the via ferrata descent probably feels like 4th class on the way up, but on the way down it might get your attention if you're not on top of things. its not a via ferrata with cables, protection, etc. mostly a seriously fun down-monkeying with fattie rungs through most (but not all) of the steep sections. a 60m rope will protect the entire climbing section if you want a belayed-downclimb, or you can rappel from chains at the slabby (crux?) beginning of the descent. there is an intermediate station if rap straight down, so im assuming you could rap with one rope, but i havent tried. i found the climbing similar to classic moderate red rock (nv) stuff, plenty of things to hold onto on the gentle climbs i played on, and the rock is solid. there is plenty of beta (in spanish) on xpmexico.com. click on (respectively) roca: guias, querataro, pena de bernal |

There's also great bouldering around the base of this. The "via ferreta" is more like low fifth class soloing with a rung every 30 feet or so. Super fun! |

As of 01-2015, you can easily rappel straight down from the top of the via ferreta with a single 60m rope. As of 01-2015, here's the descent from the summit of Pena de Bernal: A) From the top of Bernalina, et al, walk past the crosses and then follow an obvious path down and left around a small cliffband. B) Scramble down right and then left around another small cliffband to a saddle. C) Carefully descend about 25 vertical feet down a low-angled slab from the saddle to the top of an obvious gully and the top of the via ferreta. D) Rappel #1: At the top of the via ferreta and gully there are two sets of anchors - glued-in staples and traditional bolts with rings. Rappel straight down from either anchor, about 15-20m to a hanging rap station with traditional rings (there's no ledge at the anchor, so pre-rig some type of daisy chain/PAS so you can safely get off rappel). E) Rappel #2: Rappel straight down to the base of the existing via ferreta (25-30m). F) Down-climb some well-worn ledges (via ferreta rungs are missing) from the base of the via ferreta to gain the main hiking trail. G) Walk down the main hiking trail about 5-10 minutes to regain the base of Bernalina, et al. |

A boost, not an impediment, to clean energy
Obama voted for "tax subsidies and giveways" that have slowed oil companies from pursuing clean energy sources.
Yes, a costly addiction
"We send a billion dollars to foreign countries every day because of our addiction to foreign oil."
No, it was a boon to renewable fuel industry
"So that 2005 energy bill was a big step backwards on the path to clean, renewable energy. That's why I voted against it."

OPP: Gift to 15-Year-Old
by Slacker And Steve
posted Jan 23 2013 4:26PM
Karen's daughter was given $1000 by her 16 year old sweetheart for Christmas. Karen doesn't feel that the amount given is appropriate simply because of the age of the couple (her daughter is only 15) and now she has some concerns…
"Yi Slacker & Steve,
Our daughter came home from the mall with stuff she can't afford. When pressed, she finally admitted her boyfriend has a part-time job, saved up his money and gave her $1000 as a Christmas gift. He is 16 and our daughter is 15. We think $1000 for a 15 year old is extremely inappropriate. What do you think? Do we have the right to take the money away and return it to her boyfriend?" What amount is more appropriate for a 15 year old girl? Is her boyfriend attempting to "pay-for-the-V"? How would you handle this situation?
Slacker said that he wouldn't be comfortable if this amount was given to his own daughter… he wouldn't feel comfortable if she was given any cash at all and in this case the $1000 should be returned in some form. Steve kind of waffled when it came to answering the question about her virginity, but he basically thinks that this money is somehow going to the cause.
What advice do you have?
I don't know what the boyfriend's intentions are- maybe he's just being really generous or he is going after the "v-card"- but I feel that she should be able to keep the money and whatever she bought with it because in the end it was a gift. However, I think that both sets of parents should sit down with couple and try to understand where this expensive generosity came from? Why $1000? 15 and 16 certainly isn't 13 or 12, but teenagers this age don't always make the best decisions so talking to them and trying to understand wouldn't hurt; in this situation I think this is what would be best.
Stay classy!
