History is made again as Bernard Hopkis Defeats Shumenov April 20, 2014 |
WASHINGTON, D.C. (April 20, 2014)
Bernard "The Alien" Hopkins (55-6-2, 32 KOs), at 49-years-old, made
history once again on Saturday night. He is now the oldest man to
unify a boxing world championship and the oldest fighter to defend a world
title-besting his own record-as he defeated Beibut Shumenov (14-2, 9
KOs) via split decision to become the Unified Light Heavyweight World
Champion. Judges Dave Moretti and Jerry Roth scored the fight 116-111 for
the future Hall of Famer while Gustavo Padilla scored the bout 114-113 for
Shumenov. Boxing's elder statesman, Hopkins was calm and confident
throughout the fight, enforcing ring generalship against Shumenov who was
never able to figure out a game plan to score. Shumenov, who is
self-trained, threw very few combinations, and did not press the pace.
Hopkins, on the other hand, dazzled with his timing, counterpunching and, at
times, showmanship. In the 11th round, Hopkins landed a short right hand
that sent Shumenov to the canvas for the fifth time in his career.
IBA Super Flyweight
Champion Bruno Escalante Successfully Defends his Title! photo/PR by Mario Serrano April 5, 2014 |
CALIFORNIA (April 5, 2014) - Tonight at the Cache Creek Casino, Bruno "The Aloha Kid" Escalante (13-1-1, 6 KOs) successfully defended his IBA Super-Flyweight title with a unanimous decision victory against a game Victor Ruiz (12-3, 9 KOs). Escalante vs Ruiz was presented by Don Chargin Productions, Paco Presents Boxing and Cache Creek Casino Resort. In the early rounds, Ruiz pressed the action and won a few rounds before Escalante got into his grove. Escalante made the proper adjustments in the middle rounds and used superior boxing skills and defense to confuse Ruiz as he took the lead going into the final two rounds. Ruiz tried to make a final push but Escalante dug deep and finished strong. Escalante hurt his hand in round 2 and fought with his right hand for most of the fight. Scorecards read 98-92, 97-93, and 96-94 all in favor for Escalante. "This was a tough fight but I made the proper adjustments to come out on top," said Escalante. "Ruiz is a warrior but he never hurt me except when I busted my left hand in the second round, but that came from me hitting him. My cornermen Brian Schwartz and Mike Bazzel gave me great advice. They told me to use my jab and stay relaxed. My defense was on point tonight and I was in great shape. I will go to the hospital tonight to get an x-ray of my hand. I'm hoping to return to the ring as soon as I get cleared from the doctor. I want to thank my team for this victory." "Bruno did what he had to do to get the victory," said Manager Herb Stone. "I'm very satisfied that Bruno was able to make the adjustment needed to win this fight. The prognosis of his hand injury will give me an idea of when he'll be able to return. If it's not too bad I will get him back in the ring in the summer."

Escalante is eager to face Ruiz as the bout is scheduled for this Saturday April 5, 2014 at the Cache Creek Casino in Brooks California. Escalante believes he'll be victorious but is not looking past Ruiz who has an impressive knock out ratio. Bruno feels a victory against Ruiz will lead him to bigger fights in the near future. "This is a very important fight for me," said Escalante. "Ruiz is a power puncher who is going to be putting a lot of pressure on me. I've been training real hard for this fight and I believe I have the better boxing skills. A win will get me one step closer to fighting bigger names in my division. My energy is focused on beating Ruiz." Escalante's manager, Herb Stone, see's some big fights right around the corner for Bruno should he win his fight with Ruiz. "Bruno is having a nice run right now." said Herb Stone. "I want to keep the momentum going and hopefully get him in there with some other champions. First we have to successful in defeating Victor Ruiz."

Skelton, who had been starting in place of the injured Kevin Kolb, was benched in favor of Lindley in the first quarter of the Cardinals' Week 11 game against Atlanta when he completed 2-of-7 passes for 6 yards.
Lindley played the rest of that game and started the next two, but failed to throw for any touchdowns and had five passes intercepted.
Skelton has thrown for 1,058 yards with two touchdowns and five interceptions in six games (five starts) this season.
Kolb, who led the Cardinals to a 4-0 record before being hurt in Week 6, is out for at least another week with a rib injury.
Arizona has lost eight in a row.

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Britain and Germany will push for deeper cuts to the European Union's proposed 1 trillion euro ($1.3 trillion) budget for 2014-2020 at a second day of summit talks on Friday, after the latest EU compromise plan ignored their calls for more restraint.
European Council President Herman Van Rompuy scaled back earlier cuts to farm and regional aid spending in his latest draft compromise, in a bid to win French and Polish backing for a deal.
But he refused to deepen an 80 billion euro reduction in overall spending, leading German Chancellor Angela Merkel to warn that agreement at the summit may not be possible.
Following are comments by EU leaders and officials ahead of Friday's session:
"We had the opportunity to study the proposals of Mr Van Rompuy last night. I believe that we won't get where we want to be in this round either, which is a unanimous decision. We will discuss this now.
"I have always said that it wouldn't be dramatic if today were only the first step, we will see in the next hours. I think the positions are still far apart and if we need a second round we will take the time to do it."
"It's very close to what he proposed a few days ago, so the differences weren't that big. He had reallocated some resources but the overall level was exactly the same (as) what was in his previous proposal. It's very difficult to say how far we can go today, everything is open."
"I do hope that we can move on, but if that is not possible we have to come back some other day. Everything seems to be open. Some opinions are very far from each other and it's very difficult to assess at the moment what will happen today."
"I don't think there has been enough progress so far.
"I mean there really is a problem in terms of there hasn't been the progress in cutting back proposals for additional spending.
"It isn't a time for tinkering, it isn't a time for moving money from one part of the budget to another.
"We need unaffordable spending cut. That is what is happening at home, that's what needs to happen here."
"The first thing is that I don't see an agreement among the 27 members. One of my main concerns is that we get anything together at all that will last for seven years.
"In an economic crisis, that should be our first goal, that you get a seven-year budget together if you are holding speeches about growth every day. I think we are still some way away from reaching that goal."

Best Emma Mantle Poems
I struggle with conversation, what to say I'm never sure and after introductions I can't think of any more! A comment on the weather, 'it's cold for the time of year' or 'how's work going at the moment?' is all I can manage I fear. I'm not one for idle chatter, don't seem to have the knack, to engage in conversation with small talk I do lack. The thought of talking scares me nerves turn my mind to mush! I obviously need more practice but it's been easier just to hush!

Characteristics of Collaborative Network Models
Title: | Characteristics of Collaborative Network Models |
Author: | Knudsen, Line Gry; Copenhagen Business School. CBS; Institut for Ledelse, Politik og Filosofi; LPF; Department of Management, Politics and Philosophy; LPF |
Abstract: | This chapter aims at summarizing the discussion on collaborative networks as discussed in the reviewed literature (see appendix 3.). The question on governance of networks has today assumed a key role as more and more research programs are depending on large scale network collaborations. The criteria for evaluation the optimal organizing of a network can be divided into two important categories, each facing a number of important challenges. Management of network and management in network constitute together the governance system of the network and are of course closely connected but represent simultaneous a very important division of labour in the whole network system. Each type of management has to find solutions to specific challenges raised by the function of the network and its participants. This is what the following pages will describe in more detail. |

Zumba – "pretty much the most awesome workout ever."
Exercise is to health, as donating is to charity. In this case though, exercise can be a form of charity.
Amie Bowen, Zumba instructor at the Park and Rec Center, has been teaching the program for five years and is in the process of organizing her fifth annual "Zumbathon" to help fund research for Galactosemia – a rare metabolic disorder that affects her nephew, Karter Newell.
Due to the rarity of the disorder, not many government-agencies are focused on its research. Bowen, along with mother Nancy Newell, hope to change that.
"I'm going to teach, and there are also two other Zumba instructors who are going to donate their time," Bowen said. "Proceeds go towards research for galactosemia.
"It'll be $25 if you register the day-of, and it's from 9 a.m. to noon, so it's three hours. You can do it for three hours, or, typically, a Zumba class is for one hour," Bowen added.
Wabash College will present Michael Kimmel, who will talk about masculinity and his book, Guyland, at 4:15 p.m., Thursday in the Pioneer Chapel.
Kimmel is among the leading researchers and writers on men and masculinity in the world today. He is Distinguished Professor of Sociology and Gender Studies at Stony Brook University, where he directs the Center for the Study of Men and Masculinities. Kimmel is the author of more than 20 books, including Manhood in America: A Cultural History (1996), which was hailed as the definitive work in the field. His best-seller, Guyland: The Perilous World Where Boys Become Men (2008) investigates young people's lives today, based on interviews with more than 400 young men, ages 16-26.
Kimmel's talk on Thursday afternoon will focus on a sociological perspective on how and by whom men are socialized. It is free and open to the public.
The 23rd annual Mountain Man Rendezvous will be held Saturday and Sunday in Bridgeton from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days.
There will be samples of authentic early 1800s living, trading posts, live black-powder muzzle loader shooting, a canoe race on Raccoon Creek and knife and tomahawk throwing demonstrations.
There will also be a Jonah Fish Fry at the Bridgeton Volunteer Fire Department on Saturday from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. There is no charge to admission to any of the events.
For more information call 548-2136.
The seventh annual Cemetery Walk will take place on May 2 beginning at the Fountain County Clerk's Building / Museum at 516 4th St. in Covington. Activities include a horse and wagon ride to Oak Grove Cemetery, music and refreshments. At the cemetery there will be walk-through history with local actors portraying several notable historic figures.
The cost is a $7 donation. The event goes from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. with the last tour leaving at 3 p.m. It is sponsored by the Fountain County Art Council, Inc. and the Fountain County Genealogy Society, Inc.
For more information, call Carol Freese at 793-2710 or Kim Martin at 793-4123.
The Vanity Theater's spring play, "Rumors," opens this weekend. Written by Neil Simon, the comedy is described by the New York Post as "light, frothy and fun."
Simon wrote "Rumors" at a very difficult time in his life. The script was his first attempt at a farce, a special kind of comedy that entertains the audience through highly exaggerated and improbable situations, where entrances and exits are timed perfectly to enhance the humor. "Rumors" premiered in San Diego, Calif., in September 1988 and quickly made its way to debut on Broadway in November of the same year.
The "Rumors" stage is set for a high-society dinner party to celebrate the 10th wedding anniversary of Deputy Mayor Charlie Brock and his wife, Myra, in their New York City home. Four couples are looking forward to the invitation for an enjoyable evening of elegant company in a lavish townhouse. Unfortunately, things turn sticky as the host lies bleeding from a superficial gunshot wound, and his wife is nowhere to be found. As each couple arrives, the evening spins off into classic hilarity as miscommunications mount and stories are woven.
Who wouldn't want to come to a garage sale like this?
Saturday marked the second annual Spring Fling Showcase at the Montgomery County 4-H Fairgrounds, presented by Nicholson Elementary School's 4-H Club.
More than 40 vendors were on site this weekend and there was more than enough to choose from. With items in two buildings ranging from crafts, handmade primitives, jewelry and accessories — past and present residents lined their shelves to support this worthy cause.
Janith Cram oversaw the event and took the time to explain a little bit about the fundraiser.
"We charge for booth space, which covers advertising and food costs for our concession stand, and anything after that the club gets to keep in its account to help pay for all of its expenses," Cram said. "We also try and pick a couple of kids who have put a lot of effort into the club and all of its activities, and we offer to pay part of their fee if they choose to go to a 4-H camp."

Play was possible in just one match – TNCA XI vs Uttar Pradesh CA at the IIT-Chemplast ground – as inclement weather prevented four other duels from commencing in the Kalpathi all-India Buchi Babu tournament here on Thursday.
In a match reduced to 87 overs per side, Uttar Pradesh was 150 for four in 47 overs on day one; play began at 1.30 p.m. TNCA XI had elected to field.
"There will be no further reduction of overs in the contest. If the game remains unfinished, both teams will pick a point each," said TNCA XI coach S. Sriram.
There was no play at RKM-Vivekananda (Haryana versus Hyderabad), Chepauk (Karnataka vs Bengal), MRF-Pachaiyappa (Assam vs TNCA President's XI), and Murugappa (Baroda vs Kerala) grounds.
At the IIT-Chemplast ground, crafty bowling by TNCA XI skipper R. Ashwin was the highlight of the day. The tall off-spinner used the crease capably and varied his pace to pick up three for 35. The home side bowled to attacking fields.
For Uttar Pradesh, Mukul Daggar was batting well on 38 when he suffered a back spasm while going for a second run and had to be taken off the field. He was taken in an ambulance to a local hospital. Daggar is unlikely to take further part in the match.
Prashant Gupta struck some weighty blows during his innings of 39 but Ashwin had him taken at slip. Akshadeep Nath (15) and Praveen Kumar (4) were together at stumps. Had its catching been sharper, TNCA XI could have made greater inroads.
The scores: At IIT-Chemplast (Day One): Uttar Pradesh CA 150 for four in 47 overs (Mukul Daggar 38 retd., Prashant Gupta 39, R. Ashwin three for 35) vs TNCA XI. Toss: TNCA XI. — Special Correspondent

PUG 2.0 - Day 1.... wow that looks werid!
It feels really odd to start all over again! for the third time :/
Last night I did start one new game...
Under Defeat HD (JP Ver)
In case my Rawr scribble above wasn't a very good clue its a top down vertical scrolling Shoot 'em up... much in the style of Raiden Fighters.... the main difference in Under Defeat your a helicopter and in Raiden your a jet,
this is also less brightly coloured and not as much fun as Raiden but it is somewhat easier... the game gives you one "credit" for continues each hour you play and once you've reached 8 hours played you get unlimited credits.
Also more forgiving than Raiden is the achievement list doesn't feature earn a bajillion points without being hit or something like that its basically get though the game in both modes. The second mode being exactly the same with a giant black border making it "arcade" and grabbing a second controller to spam bombs makes the game a total cake walk.
The game likes to hard lock and freeze the console pretty often and all that idling time is lost... Hopefully with a few more hours of turboing I can get unlimited lives in both modes and have a real go at the game... since without that I can only get to level 3 on easy....
I have another theme weekend planned and I will be doing a water weekend so Michael Phelps and some Kinect Rapala will make an appearance and that will round out my two other PUG games for the week which leaves me to focus on getting a completion and my Bonus Objective will be to earn 2000 gamerscore in Kinect games for the week.... totally manageable considering I already busted out 2875gs in kinect games this past week not even breaking a sweat.
Speaking of people who never bust a sweat.... this is my dork ass dog and how he typically sleeps at night in his bean bag at the foot of my bed...
WHAT... A... WEIRDO! most of the time a body part falls off one end or another normally its his head that ends up on the floor while the rest of his body is still in his beanbag. Notice how his tail protects his junk... or rather what he has left of it
I managed to stump myself in a dream last night.... I had a dream about talking to sphinx and he asked me "what animal do I eat that provides a service to mankind" I couldn't think of any... we're not talking body parts like wool or eggs a service is a seeing eye dog or a horse who gets you from A to B... I suppose the answer is a bullock (Ox or Oxen for you non antipodean folk) but in my half sleep state I asked Nick as he
me awake this morning and he answered with Crayfish... In my sleepy haze I imagined a crayfish stripping plastic off of wires readying them for a electrician Flintstones style... Not quite what he meant... but it was WAY more imaginative than eating bacteria laden insects in the rivers of England

Day 140 - The blog before PUG 2.0
Last night was a good mop up of
Velvet Assassin (JP Ver)
For some inexplicable reason I like this game... I typically hate stealth games and for this game you have no choice but to be meticulous and count each and every kill.... its got just enough collectibles to be annoying and the levels are non back-trackable and each experience point has to be accounted for so its no walk in the park... BUT! there is almost 400 points for doing nothing if you plug in a keyboard and use the end level command and you can put on god mode too but its sort of pointless as you need the silent kills anyway..... other note worthy (at least it is if your a bit of a perv) is that her pants are freaking PAINTED on... and the game does its best to remind you that she has a GREAT ASS... I think this is what that honky tonk badonkadonk song was talking about questioning how she got them britches on.... (someone needs a country song break)
Par for my average I managed to fuck up one of the minor collectible items... but thankfully that's not as bad as I'm making it out to be... a quick run of four levels should get me a completion but for now it goes back in the massive line of games where I have collectibles to find for the last one or two achievement short of a completion..... which is where I needed a project to get my motivation going.
Wow... so its been 140 days since I ended
Project Unstarted Games...
My first chronicle of my crazy back log... so I ended the last project with 65 retail games new to my card on consecutive days earning 15615 gamerscore whittling down the list of 136 games... and in the last 140(ish) days I've managed to collect enough games to have another crack at it all again.... this time starting out with
109 retail games
that I have yet to earn a single achievement in.
So PUG 2.0 won't be one new retail game per day and a subsequent blog post... instead it will be 3 new retail games a week and 1 completed game no matter old or new... each week I'll post this sheet on (my) Friday blog post which is a visual tick box
I will also have an additional BONUS OBJECTIVE where blog commenters can throw in suggestion or I'll come up with something creative... like 3 new arcade games.... 150 total achievements.... rise to 72% completion (all dlc included of course) or 500 gamerscore in kinect games, 25 multiplayer achievements, 5 pink achievement tiles etc etc etc....
The purpose of it all.... I won't be purchasing any new games nothing... not even xbla or wp7.... I will be having rentals (I've got a podcast to do after all) occasionally a loaned game sometimes make a way to my disk drive too.
Phew.... now that I've set the challenge its time to get cracking!
Oh and interesting... I noticed that I got past this number last night...
I love it when I hit these on the dot especially when I don't try those perfect 100,000 milestones are sometimes a pain in the ass!

Day 139 - Tales from Narnia err.... the Skylands
Last night I did a big mop up of Skylanders and leveled up the new addition fully
The Skylands are now safe, and I wanted to do a quick post on the game before it fades away in to the complete games black hole.
is pretty gimmicky looking and most haters see it as just another money sucking enterprise from Activision in their quest to fill your house with plastic junk... hell, I'll be upfront and tell you right now that a set of the collectibles are basically adverts to make you go buy more characters... you know those Sunday morning cartoon ads where you want to jump out of your seat and cry MUMMY I WANT IT!!! without really even understand what "it" is.... yeah I might have got that feeling at some point.... BUT somewhere in there is a great game with awesome engineering the portal, the character design, puzzles and level layouts are all very well put together and make for a polished final product
Its perfect for younger kids as there is co-op (despite being a tethered shared camera experience) and there is so much to discover.... for the record I completed all the achievements with 38% "game progress" I assume that number is based on the doors and collectibles and side missions etc. So there is plenty of replay value beyond the achievements.
This is where I should warn achievement hunters and completion junkies that yes the game is complete able with the three in the starter pack but life is WAYYYYYY easier with Terrafin for the stupid laser achievement and Sonic Boom was the character I beat the final boss in less than 10mins without losing hardly any health at all. So if you do end up feeling the need to pick up a few more those would be my top two picks. But each one is slightly different and its just a matter of finding the fight style you like...
According to Raptr it took me 33hrs but it feels more like 10hrs... and I did fart around a whole bunch leveling up and doing random side quests and I reset a few lvl 10's to re-level them to choose a different fight style.
I would say the majority (700ish points) was story related and I got them within the first 10hrs as after all.... it is a kids game.... that was my mantra last night playing the stupid laser boss fight over and over....
Speaking of doing things over and over... I started
which looks to be a proper grind fest... It is pretty cute and works REALLY well!
That is what I look like if I were a Pixar character according to my Kinect... I started with UP as thats my least fav Pixar movie... nothing has made me cry harder... ok maybe
this movie
In response to yesterday's blog.... it occurred to me that more than half the readers have no idea what a Sin Bin is.... Its what people who watch Rugby call a Penalty Box.... I didn't realize it wasn't a common place term.
I'm going to make a list tonight to start PUG Project Unstarted Games 2.0 - fuck completion ratios I love the idea of completing 5 and buying a new game... but I have my gaming budget earmarked for the surface and a new wp7.... I'm not counting games I've preordered (its a very short list) and I will do PUG slightly different this time... with only three games a week not seven, and I aim to complete a game a week even if its not a newly started game... so goals will be set and PUG will begin... again....
I realize that this is a pretty common issue among a lot of us... and its a constant battle to work on the backlog and play anything and everything that comes out or at least the ones that look appealing. I think we're all looking for a that happy medium where getting to actually experience the games we pay good money for and not just sitting on a shelf like expensive rows of geek pride, but not giving up comfort gaming and feeling like there is a obligation to play less than stellar titles.

Day 138 - Ramblings from the New Game Sin Bin
I'm getting that feeling like the games yet to be started in my bookcase make me a little crazy
After I got this box via courier this morning I sent myself to the new game sin bin....
No more games till I've played a decent chunk of whats in my shelf... and that includes arcade games!
I want to do is a stocktake and maybe another round of Project Unstarted Games... But I dropped my completion percentage 12% last time and I got frustrated with learning new controls every single night so I need to come up with something new...(feel free to tell me your awesome ideas) I'm also a little hesitant to make a list of what I own but have yet to start as I know I'm going to feel even more mental than I do now.
It also feels a little like guess the jelly beans as I don't really have a very clear number of how many games I have yet to start but I know its more than "a few" and closer "to too many".... not as many as
some people
um... Skylander fans are prob keen to know which one is in the box I got this morning....
Tada... it's Terrafin... mostly because he is useful for an achievement but also because he is a super cute Shark.... but Terrafin is not a water element O_o?
Land Shark?
Plus he has this sweet looking Pirate Ship!
Hes going to go home with the rest of the skylanders when I've saved the skylands.... Skylanders has been a super fun game and I'll be a little sad when its complete and super excited and pumped up for the next installment! This really is a brilliant game, and I know its entry price is a little steep but its totally worth it!
Speaking of expensive things.... I was pretty set on getting this....
The Wacom Inkling since I can't justify the cost of a new graphics tablet.....
But as I watch the Microsoft announcement for the Surface....
I think that will be my next major purchase... the question is can I go without buying a new game between and when this sexy beast is out to market.

Day 135~137 - My Big Redneck Weekend
For those of you who aren't familiar with the term "Redneck" its used to describe American's who typically live in the country and are supremely patriotic and proud to be on the lower end of most bell curves.
I noticed that in my last shipment from Stoph there is a pretty clear theme and I know doing it 4th of July Weekend might be more fitting but I'm much too impatient to wait that many more weeks to play these gems. Last weekend I learned am not "black" enough to "rap" and this weekend learned I'm not "white" enough to "line dance"
I started off throwing a "Hoedown" on Saturday and getting a good chunk
I stark contrast to
Alvin & The Chipmunks: Chipwrecked
which I knocked out Friday morning before heading off for work, in less than 3 hours which was nice and easy with decent tracking and simple moves, Country dance on the other hand has what is essentially a foreign set list to me. Some of the moves are a little less than familiar too but more importantly its a grind with a 10hr achievement, and like most dance games this only counts in song time. But the worst part is the tracking is truly atrocious I can see pretty clearly why noone (out of the 23 people who tried this game according to TA) has gotten the 500,000 points per song I struggled with getting 100,000 on a handful while others I got over a million sight reading. Of course I will try my very hardest to complete it but I don't even believe its possible then again I felt the same about Michael Jackson at some point.
I can't recommend this as a dance game but for points its pretty easy.... two aforementioned achievements aside its a easy and straightforward 800 without much skill.... just a high tolerance for Country music... The lyrics of these songs are mind boggling to a "city slicker" like me... I goggled what a Honky Tonk is and reaffirmed how important Ice Cold Beer is to the Redneck religion.
I couldn't take more than 3 hours of this game in one sitting so I took a little down time to get in the spirit of my themed weekend and watched some of Tom Arnold tv show
My Big Redneck Vacation
and some
Redneck Island
I don't watch a lot of TV and seldom do I watch reality tv but when I do I only watch the worst it has to offer.
Saving Sunday morning in NASCAR Nation tradition for some
NASCAR Unleashed
with a decent haul of half over half the points.... Its certainly not realistic to NASCAR but it is rather fun for an arcade wreck-em kart style game. There are a handful of luck based achievements which I don't appreciate for a racing game.
The rest of my Sunday afternoon I spent huntin' waving a bright orange plastic gun around and shootin' critters... at first I was pleased with my ability to headshot so many animals... it wasn't until I got to a tip screen that learned that headshots in hunting was not ideal... I guess I forget these cabela commandments to quickly. But this was the most fun I had all weekend.... the gun works great and the ducking, dodging and creeping part works awesome.... the dreaded Cabela balance log rears its ugly head and makes a mockery of the Kinect functionality thankfully its very limited. I think the huntsmen genre is pretty over saturated but this is really the best it has to offer.
The achievements are straightforward and largely collected over the course of the Story but I was left with a fair bit of grinding which I mopped up before heading off for work this morning. Earning a quick and fun completion in less than 8hrs for shooting poor beautiful animals.
I'm not sure I'm ready to move to the south or even switch my radio stations (not even sure if Auckland has a Country station?!) nor am I better prepared to shotgun a beer.... but I look forwards to my next meal of Fried Chicken and biscuits and gravy.... and there is plenty enough NASCAR and Line dancing left for when I strap on my over sized.... belt buckle
I did want to do a quick PSA if any of ya'll own a shirt that looks like this
not dissing the colour scheme... just talking about the style of the shirt.... you own the mullet of the shirt world... it has a collar... for business... but its also sleeveless for getting your honky tonk hoe down on.... It goes real prurdy with some tight blue jeans and pair of em' cowboy boots.... and nothing covers a mullet as nice as a 10-gallon hat!

Cassandra Edwards is a graduate student at Berkeley: gay, brilliant, nerve-wracked, miserable. At the beginning of this novel, she drives back to her family ranch in the foothills of the Sierras to attend the wedding of her identical twin, Judith, to a nice young doctor from Connecticut. Cassandra, however, is hell-bent on sabotaging the wedding.
Dorothy Baker's entrancing tragicomic novella follows an unpredictable course of events in which her heroine appears variously as conniving, self-aware, pitiful, frenzied, absurd, and heartbroken—at once utterly impossible and tremendously sympathetic. Cassandra reckons with her complicated feelings about the sister who she feels owes it to her to be her alter ego; with her father, a brandy-soaked retired professor of philosophy; and with the ghost of her dead mother, as she struggles to come to terms with the only life she has.
First published in 1962, Cassandra at the Wedding is a book of enduring freshness, insight, and verve. Like the fiction of Jeffrey Eugenides and Jhumpa Lahiri, it is the work of a master stylist with a profound understanding of the complexities of the heart and mind.
An important achievement…intoxicating fun.
— Lillian Smith
[Baker's] ear for dialogue is acute, her prose immaculate…this is a novel of exceptional quality.
— Times Literary Supplement
Knowing, wise and a cracking read.
—Irish Independent
I—whose usual bed time is ten o'clock—stayed up all night reading that exquisite Cassandra at the Wedding—dazzled by the pyrotechnics of such an artist. I can only think back to Young Man with a Horn, and be overwhelmed by Dorothy Baker's continuing brilliance.
— Carson McCullers
Dorothy Baker's Cassandra at the Wedding (New York Review Books, 2004) is another novel in which it's hard not to be caught up from the very first page by the first—person voice of the speaker. Originally published in 1962, this is the compulsively readable story of Cassandra's unwilling trip home to attend (or prevent) her twin sister Judith's wedding. She's one of those neurotic, intellegent women, trying to understand the direction her life has taken. Long out of print, this is just one of the wonderful titles (both fiction and non—fiction) brought back to life by a publishing company whose mission, according to editor Edwin Frank, is to rescue some of the many truly remarkable works of literature that have had the misfortune of falling out of print.

Empis sp.
Empis is a genus of dance flies, in the fly family Empididae. Notice the sharp piercing mouthpart, and the long proboscis. Possibly Empis livia?
Alpine pasture. Altitude 900 ASL.
The flower is Bistorta officinalis.
Thank you Jolly and Ashish! It was a lucky shot, nice soft light and well behaved insect:-)
Bistorta officinalis is an interesting Ashish! It is actually edible, and still researched for its medicinal properties. It is also the food plant of some butterflies.
Nice spotting Daniele.. a true learning lesson...
I think Polygonaceae family plants represent healthy green habitat...

There are lots of pros/cons no matter where you live in the USA. One of the big PRO's about living in California is that you can ride 12 months of the year.
The most expensive housing in CA is along the Pacific Ocean. Bakersfield is about 130 miles from the ocean and most of the places to live in all of Central CA, from Bakersfield to Redding, are very reasonable, but that depends on your perspective.
Bakersfield is very close to the desert where some of the best off road winter riding is.
From Bakersfield, you can ride to whatever weather you want any time of the year. If you want to go to the snow, head for the mountains. If you are too hot in the summer, head for the ocean where it will be 68 degrees. If you want to see a major league football, basketball or baseball game, just head south to L.A.
If you want want a desert adventure, head east to the Mojave Preserve and the Mojave Trail.
Living in Central California from Bakersfield to the south to Redding to the north is like living in the hub of a wheel. There are great destinations in all directions that are only a short ride away.
I have ridden 60,000 miles all over the the western USA in the past 4 years and have traveled extensively to the east coast in past years and haven't found a better place to live.
There are many pros and cons no matter where you live depending on what is important to you. Decide what your priorities are and make your decision. just my 2 cents........
So, what I'm reading is, if you want something/do something go to L.A., but don't live there because its too expensive. So, instead of living there, or the Bay Area, drive hundreds of miles at $4.15 gallon a few times a month to do something that's not related to cow roping, mud bogging or having sex with your sister/cousin/brother/mom.
Bakersfield Sucks! It's a simple choice between living in the crap hole of CA, or paying a slight bit more to be just as close to all of the great riding but actually be able to experience some culture, sports, good food, beaches, etc, without the drive.

TV Worth the Effort in 2010
Be warned - I'm starting the New Year with a cold. A cold that prevented me from properly introducing 2010 to my friend Stella Artois, and a cold that prevented me from enjoying my favourite Christmas gift - a trip to the big city to see the ballet - and it is a cold that is even now preventing me from breathing, speaking and sleeping peacefully.
Which basically means I am one cranky TV columnist.
My intention this week is to discuss the TV-related New Year's Resolution. For some it is a 'more-and-bigger' proposition, like my neighbours, who scoured the Boxing Day sales for a massive flat-screen to replace their large flat-screen. But for most of us, it is a 'less-and-better' motive that drives us to promise ourselves that this year we will watch only quality programming, and only for two hours a week, and only one night a week, because we'll join a book club, a gym, an internet dating service, whatever.
What I've been thinking about is this: what is good television?
A guide to Labor Day marathons and specials
Here's a list of the various marathons, specials, and sports that you can see on Sunday and Monday. Let us know if we've missed anything.
- At 8 AM, Hallmark has a Golden Girls marathon.
- At 9, USA has a Law and Order: SVU marathon.
- At 10, WE has a marathon of Girlfriends episodes.
- At 10:30, TV Land has a Beverly Hillbillies marathon.
- At 11, CBS has U.S. Open coverage.
- At 1 PM, Discovery has a Planet Earth marathon.
- Bravo has a Top Chef: Las Vegas marathon at 1.
- At 3, Spike has a Band of Brothers marathon.
- NBC has the Deutsche Bank Golf Championship at 3.
- At 5, TV Land has an Andy Griffith Show marathon.
- At 9, it's the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon (check local listings).
New TV on DVD releases this week
I always find it amusing that a lot of standup specials and documentaries are released on DVD just a day or two after they're shown on television. Jim Gaffigan: King Baby premiered this past Sunday, and here it is for sale on DVD. I guess you could have just taped it (sorry, "recorded it"), though I'm sure there are extras on the DVDs you don't get on the TV special.
I'm just happy Volume 5 of Hannah Montana is out!
- California Dreams - Seasons 1 and 2
- The Fugitive - Season 2, Vol. 2
- Goosebumps - Return of the Mummy and The Scarecrow Walks At Midnight
- Hannah Montana - Vol. 5
Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List - Season Four Premiere
Kathy Griffin has found the perfect genre for her particular brand of comedy. A sitcom wouldn't capture her true character, strict stand-up is not her best venue (although she's gotten very good at it), and a talk show would force her to chat with others and appear interested.

23rd Annual TCA Awards - Alec Baldwin, The Sopranos and "Moore" - TCA report
John Oliver (The Daily Show) hosted the 23rd Annual TCA Awards, which were given out at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills on Saturday night.
After being introduced by outgoing TCA president Rob Owen of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Oliver opened the show up with (surprise!) some political humor. Pointing out that vice president Dick Cheney was fully in charge during President Bush's colonoscopy procedure, a ranting Oliver joked, "We should be thankful that we are alive to enjoy this evening!"
What I'm watching this summer: Annie's list
I usually loathe the summer television season because everyday is like Sunday: there's nothing good on. Actually, I believe that's what Morrissey meant when he wrote "Everyday Is Like Sunday". Save for a few shows, my summer programming is erratic and I don't follow anything religiously. Sometimes I'm so bored by summer shows, I'll -- dare I say it -- turn off the television. Then I sit around and daydream about the new Harry Potter book or something. Yes. Summer TV is that bad. However, there are a few things that I'm currently looking forward to -- and not all of them are re-runs.
Here are the nominees for the 2007 TCA Awards
That's the Television Critics Association, the organization that represents over 200 TV critics nationwide and in Canada. They've revealed their nominees for their annual awards, and while a lot of the usual shows make the list, there are a few surprises as well. Some of that has to do with their choices, and some of it has to do with the categories they have and the way they nominate (for example, there aren't separate categories for "Best Performance in a Drama - Male" and "Best Performance in a Drama - Female," it's all under "Individual Achievement in Drama."
The list is after the jump.

Title: | Singapore voices : (re)(dis)covering the intergenerational distance. |
Author: | Lindborg, PerMagnus. |
Copyright year: | 2009 |
Abstract: | This paper presents Singapore Voices, an interactive sound installation with images, the language situation it wants to illuminate, the underlying aesthetics of the design, and finally, the discussions that its first showing engaged. The artwork is the pilot project of a larger research collaboratin initiated by the Division of Linguistics and Multilinguisitics (LMS), involving the School of Art, Design and Media (ADM), the NTU Art and Heritage Musuem and the Institute for Media Innovation (IMI). Singapore Voices aims at bringing attention to one of Singapore's hidden heritages, the languages of the nation. Through the medium of an interactive sound installation with images, it presents speakers of different "voices" from Singapore's facinating and diverse heritage which is fast disappearing: Hokkien, Teochew, Hainanese, Hakka, Telegu, Tamil, Malayalam, Baba Malay. |

More than 20 Brookings-Harbor High School students in Hannah Young's mixed-grade creative writing class visited Kalmiopsis Elementary School kindergarten classes to spend some time with the younger children and read picture books with them in a one-on-one setting.
If the titles of the books were unfamiliar to the kindergartners, there was a reason: the high school students wrote and illustrated the books themselves. The visit was part of the high schoolers' final exam grade, but students weren't very stressed as they huddled with the kindergartners, laughing and teasing when they were done with their book, waiting to read to another student. "Do you have a purple dog," senior Zach Schwarz asked one boy in Tammy Coffey's kindergarten. "No," the boy shook his head, eyes wide. "You're sure?" Schwarz sounded shocked. "You don't have a purple dog?" When they were done with Coffey's class, the high school students went out the door, jazzed about their experience and remembering what it was like for them at that age. "When I was a little kid high schoolers would come in during snack time,' Schwarz said. "It was a lot of fun." The visit was great for her students, Coffey said. "They get to see books and pictures older kids have made," she said. "We're just starting on that kind of thing. They get to see that it's doable." Sandy and the Sunken Treasure By Louie Deraita Sophomore One day, down in the deep blue sea, there was a starfish named Sandy. Sandy always dreamed of finding sunken treasure that she could keep forever. One day, she was walking around on the ocean floor when she spotted a sunken ship. She walked through the door. What she saw inside was quite a surprise; it was a great big chest that sparked and shined. Her eyes grew big and her heart skipped a beat. This was really quite a treat! Sandy picked up the chest and started going home, but little did she know that she was no longer alone. A friendly fish named Freddie swam up beside her. "Hey," he said, "whatcha got inside there?" "It's my treasure," Sandy said. "And it's mine forever." "You don't share?" Freddie asked with a smile. He looked down at her treasure pile. "Well …" Sandy began to say. "I could share, but there's only one way. I will only share these jewels and gems if you, Freddie, will be my new best friend." "Of course I will!" said a very delighted Freddie. Then the two new best friends went home all happy and giddy." Cleo the Crocodile Dentist By Joey Lefebvre Sophomore Cleo the cow was eating and chipped her front tooth! She cried and cried because she didn't know what to do. Her best friend Babe the pig told her she should go to the dentist. Cleo said, "No, the dentist is scary and painful." "What's there to be afraid of? He just makes you feel better, and it's only painful for a few seconds." "OK, let's go." On their way to the dentist, they saw a squirrel crying. "Are you OK?" Babe asks. "I just got out of the dentist and I'm in pain," he said. "But I guess I wouldn't be in pain if I had brushed my teeth and ate less candy," said the squirrel. They got to the dentist office and the desk lady says, "A dentist will be right out." A few moments later Dr. Croc walks out. He asks, "Is there a Cleo here? She replies, "Yes, please don't hurt me." "Why would I hurt you? I'm here to help your pain." Cleo ended up getting her front tooth fixed with no pain involved. Sprinkles By Brandi Rogers Freshman Today little Tanya was going to go to work with her mom. Her mom worked at the local bakery. Tanya was excited. The whole entire drive to the baker, Tanya was extremely happy and couldn't wait to help her mom at work. When they got to the bakery, Tanya could smell all the freshly baked cookies, cakes and pies. Tanya was ready to start baking. Her mom put on an apron, and gave Tanya one to wear too. When she put it on, a big smile grew across her face. Her apron even had her name on it. She felt special. Tanya told her mom that she really wanted to make cupcakes. But not just any ordinary cupcakes. She wanted to make extra-triple-chocolate cupcakes with vanilla frosting, and lots of sprinkles! Tanya and her mom began baking. As they were mixing the batter, she got some of the chocolatey goo on her apron. Uh-oh! She showed her mom, and she tried to wipe it off. But there was still a smudge. So Tanya's mom went and found her another apron. All better! They finished mixing the batter and poured it into the cupcake pan. Tanya opened he oven for her mom, and then set the timer for 25 minutes. Once the cupcakes were all baked, it was all she could do to not eat one! But she only had to wait a while longer till they were frosted, decorated and ready to eat. When Tanya and her mom began decorating the cupcakes, that's when the real fun began. They frosted, and frosted until all the cupcakes were done. But there was something missing. Hmm … what could it be? Sprinkles. Once she put the sprinkles on, the cupcakes were finally complete! Now it was time for the best part. Tanya got to eat one of the extra-triple-chocolate cupcakes. It was the most amazing cupcake she had ever had! Tilly the Turtle By Emily Bottoms Junior One beautiful day in the deep blue sea, a young turtle named Tilly lost her way. She swam for hours enjoying the feeling, but soon enough it became evening. Lost and alone, and nowhere to go, she swam to a rock and waited below. Along came Carl, a young helpful crab, willing to take Tilly by the hand. They looked through the night and all through the day, but still had no luck in finding their way. Just when they were ready to go ahead and quit, along came Daisy oh so quick. This little dolphin now led the way. They continued their search throughout the day. Finally they came to a large coral reef and suddenly Tilly stopped with a great big SCREECH!!! This is my home, oh thank you so much, now come meet my family, they're quite a bunch. So Carl and Daisy helped Tilly get home, and so it will be, she's never alone. |

Cost of Trip for NEXT Summer
29 Jul 2009 Ella said
I am looking at doing the London to Athens with Greek Island Hopping next summer and was wondering about how much it costs. Its around $4400 for the ones this summer put i'm hoping that by booking quite a few months in advance for next summer it would be a bit cheaper. Anyone have any ideas?

Is it just me or has this last week or two seen a number of big name apps come to Windows Phone 8 (and some even to 7), price cuts, deals, etc? Obviously Pandora probably stands out the most followed by Microsoft selling the 920 for free. It makes you wonder what is behind this. Sure, a relative small percentage of the market (WP users) would REALLY love certain apps. Given the costs to develop and submit/maintain apps, there needs to either be someone that's really into the platform or a real reason behind it. It also makes you wonder how much, if any of the increase, is the easy of writing Windows 8/RT apps AND Windows Phone 8 apps. I think time will tell if we see Pandora, United Airlines, etc. releasing Windows 8/RT apps shortly. I can't imagine AutoTrader is rolling in cash and would make a WP8 app for <5% of the market when half or less are even in the market for a new car, let alone going to use an app to buy one. At the same time, we haven't seen anything from Nokia nor Microsoft yet despite knowing that at least the 928 should be here shortly. My money is on Nokia pulling an Apple and announcing it one day and it being available within the week. Maybe Microsoft will launch something, which wouldn't be a huge surprise given what we have heard/seen from HTC and Samsung. My guess is Samsung wants to become the 4th OS next to Chrome/Android, iOS/OS X, and Windows/Windows Phone. I don't think Microsoft is all that concerned with burning that bridge with their GSIII ad. This would be a perfect time to release an innovative product- between the announcement of the GS4 and it's arrival (assuming Microsoft's device lands first, too).
It really seems like something is happening behind the scenes. Sure... Temple Run and Instagram have been "promised" to us, but until they arrives, it doesn't really matter. It makes me wonder if Nokia and/or Microsoft are pitching the EOS, Microsoft Phone or whatever the next big phone is to come out to these big names. I'm not going to count the 928 (yet) for the simple reason an upgraded camera while not improving the CPU/GPU will leave people wondering. It also makes you wonder if carriers might be pushing some of the big name apps to come up with WP solutions in preparation for that huge carrier push we keep hearing about. Samsung and Apple really don't need any more marketing from the carriers so I wonder if they decided to put money behind a third horse? Weren't we just hearing how Verizon wants anyone on the fence about a phone to walk out with a Windows Phone? Better way to keep them in one is to have these big name apps.
Sure, some of these apps and announcements were kind of expected, but all at once?! It really seems like so many coincidences that would be market share boosting/interest gaining moves don't normally happen all at once. It's not like WP8 is brand new and this is all happening together as a result of a new product launch. -
I think you aren't giving the Lumia 928 the credit it deserves.
There are providers that are just now getting the Lumia 920 on their network because of it's exclusivity, and I'm sure people are not wondering why they didn't upgrade it. It's a great phone.
The Lumia 928 is everything the Lumia 920 is and more. All of the same flagship features with even more improvements. If you think anything negative about the Lumia 928, then that's very upsetting... - 03-21-2013, 02:16 PM #3
OP, the influx in apps is mainly due to the fact that these companies are just now finishing their WP8 related work. Everyone got the WP8 SDK just before WP8 was released. The time since then is pretty much the average time it takes to release a WP8 app. That is all.
Instagram has NEVER been promised to us.
Patient Windows Phone User since October 2010 till cores and apps do us apart.
Read the rules before you post. If you post, we will assume you've read this already.
Want to make Windows Phone better? Let it stay unique?
Let it be nicer than anything out there? - PLEASE VOTE THESE
I'm sure the 928 will be a wonderful phone.... on the 2 or 3 carriers that sell it
It appears that Samsung, HTC (yes, even a company supposedly in financial difficulty), Sony, Apple, and Blackberry don't have this issue. Their 2013 launches are being sold on all carriers. -
