I think this is a similar situation to say a Muhammed Ali, who pretty much loved facing the bigger hitters. I dont think that Ray hitting harder than Greb would have any effect on Greb, but the fact that he hits hard and with his speed may land far more often that many of the guys who had Rays level of power is waht could trouble Greb. And no mattere what either of us thinks, there is no way to tell whether Greb or Ray is quicker. I hear what you are saying, but I dont think consensus would necessarilly make Ray the slower fighter (between guys who saw both?).
It is a funny situation when you think about it, the naturally smaller fighter quite possibly hits harder but is slower. Who wins, the Stronger little man or the slower big man
The origin of punching power is a mystery.Big powerful and muscular men cant break an egg, while a bag of bones Lew Jenkins could hit a ton...
In the case of Ray Robinson.tall at almost 6 ft, with sloping shoulders
that made his arms reach his target sooner, with whip like muscular
arms, along with great hand speed , made him a formidable puncher...
In the shorter Greb's case,Harry never anchored himself with his punches
as he was perpetual motion on the move...But as Gene Tunney stated
"Greb could punish"..Volleys upon volleys of punches kept his opponents
so busy defending themselves round after round...Some British
middleweight who Greb stopped was quoted as saying, "i thought the ceiling opened up and a roomful of gloves descended upon me ".
Greb and Robinson two different immortals ,both with a will to win, second
to none. IMO...

30 May 2013 04:05 [Source: ICIS news]
SINGAPORE (ICIS)--China's Dalian West Pacific Petrochemical (WEPEC) plans to shut its 100,000 tonne/year polypropylene (PP) plant in Liaoning province on 17 June for regular maintenance, a company source said on Thursday.
The turnaround will last for a month, the source added.
According to market players, the shutdown of the PP plant will have minimal impact on the Chinese domestic PP market because of its small capacity.
The company is jointly owned by China's Sinochem, PetroChina, France's Total and other Chinese firms.

Discussion in 'Political Zone' started by Jordan55, Mar 17, 2009.
Very interesting with no end in sight
The eye-popping national debt surpassed $11 trillion Monday, the largest in U.S. history.
The new Treasury Department figures on the national debt were released as the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office is expected to project that the annual budget deficit will be higher than previously estimated by the White House's Office of Management and Budget. The debt, which refers to the cumulative amount of money the government owes, hit $10.9 trillion on Friday.
Come on Jordan, your not giving the guy a chance...... He's only been in office less then 60 days......... All this mess he got left with from 8 years of Bush....... gotta break a few eggs....... Hope, Change you can trust......... He's the culmination of John Kennedy and Martin Luther King.......... You don't understand what's going on because you can't see the whole picture......... All you Ditto Heads think that everything can be solved with tax cuts............ Look at how many Republicans are taking Stimulus Aid.......... You need to stop listening to Rush and get out in the real world for a change..............
Did I miss anything?
Weren't we 8 trillion dollars in debt after Bush left?
I believes your right, so in less then 60 days the Messiah has added an additional 3 trillion dollars in debt, I don't feel any better off anyone else out there who does? Yet the worst is still to come, were talking an additional stimlus package and of course the Messiah's socialist agenda.
People voted for this clown and had no clue of what they voted for, interesting to watch the poll numbers as he buries us deeper.
Of course I still support him
I blame Bush, why not!:bang2:
No you pretty much covered it all, actually I'm a Mark Levin fan, but I am impressed on how the President has promoted Rush to the fore front and improved his ratings.

Dieting is defined as the art and practice of regulating food intake to reduce, maintain, or sometimes increase body weight. Some diet plans are designed to increase body weight, particularly lean muscle mass. But when you hear about diet plans, you immediately think about weight loss or weight maintenance. With a combination of exercise, people who are obese or overweight lose weight because of dieting. But weight loss through dieting is not for everyone because it may pose health risks to people who are otherwise healthy. Most physicians believe that long-term diets are safer and more successful but some studies have shown that crash-dieting could slightly be more effective than regular weight loss programs. Research has shown that quick weight loss motivates dieters to stay with their diet programs. Some people prefer to use diet pills for faster weight loss while some supplement their exercise routines with doses of mk-2866 and other androgen receptors to obtain lean muscle mass. When it comes to increasing, strengthening and conditioning lean body muscles, SARMS are the best choice to supplement your regimen instead of anabolic steroids.
There are many ways to lose or maintain weight. Popular diet plans that promote weight loss are of four categories: low-carbohydrate, low-fat, low-calorie, and very low calorie. Crash diets that are very low calorie also cut out on carbohydrates, fueling the body and forcing it to burn fat quickly. Most diet plans require you to be hungry and unsatisfied, but remember that eating healthy is essential. When you are unsatisfied, you may easily give up on your diet program. One of the smartest ways to keep up with a healthy weight loss plan is to kill your appetite. This way, you lose weight faster and you do not get hungry while you improve your health. First, eliminate the starch and sugar in your diet. They stimulate the secretion of insulin which is a hormone that stores fat in the body. If insulin is low or kept at minimum, the body burns fat easily. Moreover, lower insulin promotes healthy kidneys that flush out excessive sodium and body water, reducing body weight.
Second, eat 2-3 meals a day that are loaded with protein, low-carb vegetables and yes, fat. You can get protein from lean meats such as beef, chicken, pork and lamb, fish and seafood and eggs. Protein contributes to fullness and increased metabolism and mk-2866, in small doses, synthesizes the macronutrient protein into your muscle tissue to increase muscle mass without building fat. Low-Carb Vegetables include broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, lettuce, Swiss chard, cucumber and kale. You can eat these greens in massive amounts without going over the net amount of 20-50 carbohydrates per day. Don't be afraid to eat fat. You cannot do both low-fat and low-carb diet together. Fat sources are butter, coconut oil, lard, tallow and olive oil. These fats can help you stay with your plan as they are more fulfilling compared to others and can slightly boost your metabolism.
Third, exercise 3-4 times every week. Burn calories and increase metabolism by doing warm-ups, stretching, and lifting weights. You can prevent your muscles and bones from workout injury by an intake of mk-2866 in small doses. Even if you are on a diet to maintain weight instead of losing it, exercises like cardio workouts will be of great help. Running, swimming, jogging or brisk walking will help prevent slowing down your metabolism. You can also do resistance training and muscle building and opt of androgen receptors like gw-501516 and mk-2866 to help you achieve your goals. They help you gain muscle mass and make your body burn fat easily.
A good diet plan for weight loss or maintenance also has a cheat meal or a cheat day. It is a time when you can indulge in something unhealthy but it improves your attitude towards the dieting course. You will not feel cranky or frustrated because you have something to look forward to while you are working your way to a healthy lifestyle. You may regain a little weight on this day but will most likely lose it immediately within the next 1-2 days.

BOISE - Over the last decade, we've seen the Boise State football team build itself into a national powerhouse, and soon it will have the facilities to match that success. As much success as Boise State has had, one of their big challenges has been overcoming sub-par athletic facilities.
Thursday is a day that will surely put a smile on head coach Chris Petersen's face though - a groundbreaking for one piece of that picture - a new football complex.
The conceptual artist renderings show that this place will be state of the art. They'll have a recruiting lounge for furture prospects, as well as a players lounge just off an academic and computer lab. Their weight room will allow the entire team to work out together now, and of course, they'll have blue turf inside.
As for a man who's success has really helped make this day possible, Coach Pete said when this facility is built, it will be as good as anything out there.
Considering that been the case with the team he's put on the field for quite some time now, this day is long overdue.

The Tea Shop: A cultural coffee break
The tea shop was a welcome stop during our visit to the Watts Gallery. It was raining, so to be inside and dry was a blessing. It was busy and the staff seemed quick, friendly and professional.
They have a good menu and they also do event catering on site too.
Favorite Dish: The cakes are excellent. the savoury products are good too.
The Bombay Spice: Curry? It's the British National Dish - isnt it?
Anyone who has been to Britain or knows any of us Brits will know by now that we are curry addicts and if you work in IT then curry is a way of life. You commiserate and celebrate with a curry - it's a tradition! Apparently, the Chicken Tikka Masala is so popular amongst British people that it's now considered a national dish (although this dish is certainly not recognised in India - it's definitely Anglo/Indian cuisine).
Anyway, I know every curry house in Guildford and the surrounding areas, there are many, we love curry but my favourite is and has been for years the Bombay Spice in Park Street. The food is divine, the menu will suit anyone (dont worry if you dislike spicey food - its not all about HOT) and the service is possibly the best I've known in an Indian - the staff are lovely.
It's also conveniently opposite a decent pub (the George Abbot) which is convenient for meeting up before you go for your curry.
As a footnote to this tip. I've had to change, edit and remove many of my eating out tips from this site due to changes, progress, regress and closure of some of my favourite eateries in Guildford - or as in some cases the chef has left and the standard simply hasnt been as good. The Bombay Spice however has always been on my site and from the first time I ever frequented this restaurant more years ago than I care to mention (when it was in the High Street) it has always been and hopefully always will be one of the best curry houses I've ever eaten in.
Favorite Dish: I'm a sad English person and love Tikka Masala but instead of chicken try the lamb - its the best! Spicey, sweet, creamy and very moreish. I have the vegetable rice which is delicious. The side orders I would recommend are the onion bhaji, the saag aloo (spiced potato and spinach), cauliflower bhaji and saag paneer (potato, spinach and indian cheese) - share these with your diners, they are yummy!! My boyfriend recommends the mustard chicken and jeera rice. My best friend Paul recommends the Indian mixed grill.
Ha! Ha! Bar & Canteen: A casual start for your night
HA! HA! is a bar and restaurant in one. It's very casual: you do not need to dress up. The venue is split over two floors with tables and chairs both downs stairs and upstairs. The upstairs gallery is soundproofed, allowing customers to enjoy two different types of music.
The food is freshly prepared. The kitchen is open from breakfast till late and the dishes on the menu include meat, fish and pasta that change according to the seasons. Their open plan kitchens allow you to see and smell the various smells as food is being cooked.
There is also a wide range of wine, beer and cocktails on the menu. The surroundings are comfy and trendy, although it does get very noisy in there in the evenings and weekends, as it is a rather popular place to start the night. There are DJs on the weekend. In addition, they also organise salsa classes, live music and speed dating.
You can also buy a range of condiments that are used not only in the cooking, but presented at the tables. They are all sourced from small dedicated suppliers. The products on offer include nibbles such as crisps (or chips as they say everywhere else except the UK) (Flavours include curry flavoured parsnip, root vegetable, sea salt, cheese & onion crips), hot chilli crackers and pistachios; spicy salsa, chilli jam, Thai dipping sauce, onion relish, tomato & pepper ketchup and double chocolate brownies.

Loch Fyne: Fish and seafood
Loch Fyne is not entirely particular for Guildford, since there are 38 establishments throughout Britain. Despite that it is a very nice and relaxed place to eat - if you enjoy your seafood. The restaurant is furnished very rustically with lots wooden materials on the walls and heavy wooden tables.
The menu includes lobster, crap, shrimps, kippers, oysters, smoked salmon... You name it. What's pretty interesting is that they are more or less committed to sustainable development in the use of natural resources and abide a set of environmental principles devised by the original founders of the company.
Even if you didn't go for crazy for sea food they do serve meaty stuff such as Scottish prime sirloin steaks and smoked Islay sausages. There is an extensive wine list available which is sensible, both in content and prices. However, there is not very much choice for vegetarians: only 1 dish on the menu!

TGI Fridays: Steaks, ribs, burgers
If you are into American food, there are quite a few places in Guildford. I think TGI Fridays' fillet steaks are the best steaks on offer, so I'd choose this restaurant because of them. Portions are very generous though not very imaginative. The whole menu screams "American" all over it. Everything's big, comes with something extra (e.g. cheese, sauce, fries, hamburger... should you so wish!) and the desserts are over the top - way too sweet and almost scary or what do you think of 'Chocolate Fudge Fixation', 'Brownie Obsession' or even 'Popcorn Brownie Sundae'..??? My gosh.. you probably need to go on a diet for a week to shed all those pounds after eating at TGI Fridays..
Anyway, if you decide to go, you shouldn't be disappointed though, since if it's American you want, that's what you get. Very tasty and usually of good quality as well.
Opening hours:
Mon-Thu: 12:00pm - 10:30pm
Fri: 12:00pm - 11:30pm
Sat: 12:00pm - 11:30pm
Sun: 12:00pm - 10:30pm
Old Orleans: Cajun, creole, French, Italian & W Indian flavours
Old Orleans is an American style restaurant that serves typical American food accompanied by Jazz and mellow rhythm & blues based on the spirit of New Orleans street party, Mardi Gras. The menu features flavours from Cajun, creole, French, Italian and West Indian cooking. The deco is a bizarre mixture of old style American signs and voodoo.
Signature starters include Voodoo Chicken and Cajun Crabcakes, mains menu parades traditional ribs, steaks and burgers. The portions are generous.
OO has a wide range of specialty cocktails of which many come also in 1 litre quantities.
Favorite Dish: Chicken scewers
Chez Gérard: French with a global blend
I'm telling you 'French' is a big thing in the UK. There are quite a few restaurants/brasseries serving French cuisine in this country and Brasserie Chez Gérard is not an exception. However, Chez Gérard is not entirely traditional French, as it serves French cuisine with influences from Morocco, Canada (Montreal), Italy and even the States (New Orleans). The restaurant is open from midday to late evening for lunch, dinner and drinks at the bar.
They boast with "the best steak-frites this side of Paris". Although the restaurant's image and the menu is essentially French, locally sourced ingredients include Angus and Herefordshire beef and potatoes.
I've only visited once, but the food was excellent and the service was very professional and friendly. Most of the waiting staff happened to be Italian on that particular day and their happy faces and can-do attitude brightened up the rainy and windy day.
Opening times:
Sun-Thurs 12.00-10.30pm
Fri - Sat 12.00-11.00pm
Jo Shmo's: Slick American
Although Jo Shmo's oozes increasing sophistication of the mid-market chain-restaurant industry, it is really nothing special since the food can be a bit of let down if you are unlucky. I've been to the restaurant at least three times and out of these three visits, I've had only one really great meal. I had a huge salad and I loved it. The other two times, I didn't think the food was that special. The worst ever meal I had in Jo Shmo's was their rump steak. It was such a poor quality meat, I will never ever order a rump steak in a restaurant, but only choose a steak if it is proper filled steak.
The menu includes burgers, steaks, ribs, salads and sandwiches. Pricing is about average, with most main courses around £7. Three courses and drinks about £20 a head.
The restaurant is often full in the evenings. So if you do not have a reservation, you might be able to have a drink in the bar while waiting for a table. They have a decent choice of drinks and milkshakes available. We were given a seat in one of the booths which is nice and sort of out of the way of all waiting stuff rushing by. You have a view to the kitchen over the dining area although you cannot really see your meal being prepared – You can just see the staff slaving off in the heat of the stoves and ovens.
The service is not bad at all and the portions are very large - almost too large, so you'll be absolutely stuffed afterwards - if you are able to eat it all. The interior consists of dark wood walls and dark slate flooring. It is trendy if nothing else.
Opening Times:
Mon - Sat: 12:00 - 23:00
Sun: 12:00 - 22:30
Favorite Dish: The salads haven't been disappointing. However, on the whole, I've had 2 out 3 not so great meals.. Not a great thing..
The White Hart: I live in a Village therefore I have a local!!
The White Hart (just like the Brit) has seen many ups and downs since I've been drinking there (too many years ago to mention). It has recently been taken over again and I truly believe it has re-entered the local village pub era.
We have no idea exactly how long the White Hart has been a beer house but there is evidence that it may have first sold ale or at least applied for a licence in 1877. There is however speculation that there has been a coachhouse, hunting lodge or similar there since Henry VIII's time (it is rumoured that he hunted here) - hence the name - hunting for the illusive White Hart. The surrounding area could certainly support that as the pub is surrounded by common land and farmland which makes the area perfect for horse riding and country walking. There still are a lot of deer in the village which sometimes makes driving through the village at night hazardous!
Anyway, back to the pub. It serves a selection of local and popular real ales. Has a good wine list and has an menu which includes snacks to a full roast on Sunday.
There is a decent size garden, a post to tie your horse on and is on a very popular public footpath walk but best of all it's about half a mile from my front door!!
Favorite Dish: The roast is to die for! That's what British Sundays in the pub are all about!
The Brittania: The Brit! A true English Pub!
I have been frequenting the Brit virtually all my drinking life and it's been through many styles and owners (even changing it's name to Scruffy Murphy's at one time). It's gone from grumpy local pub to students hang out but in my mind still remains the best pub in Guildford.
The Brit sits on the River Wey just across from the Yvonne Arnaud theatre. In the last six months it has been though a full makeover and we were all waiting with baited breath. Were they going to take away the pool tables, were they going to stop handing out papers on Sunday, were they going to stop showing the game on large TV's - were the burgers going to be as good? We needn't have worried. The decor looks amazing, the food is even better, the game still shows on the TV screens. The only diffference is that the pool tables have gone.
This pub has a walled garden out the back to sit in when the suns out or you can sit out the front looking over the river.
The service is very attentive, the menu has a good choice and there are some decent beers on tap.
When the weather is wet and grey and typically British, I love to hang out in the Brit!
Favorite Dish: It's hard to beat the Aberdeen Angus burgers! They also do fantastic chips - not french fries!! Good old fashioned British chips!!!
Cafe in the Shambles: Great cafe, quiet atmosphere
After spending the entire night on the plane, my friend Sylvia and I were looking for a quiet place to eat, drink and catch our breath. We found the ideal place in Guildford, at the Cafe in the Shambles. This charming little cafe is located right off High Street and its secluded sidewalk terrace makes it the perfect place to unwind and, in our case, start planning our day in Guildford. The staff was very friendly and the light fare menu was just what we'd been looking for.
Yellow River Café: Hoangho
Chinese/Oriental restaurant with colourful interior decoratings, mostly red and bright yellow. One of several restaurants of the Yellow River brand in the country. Fast service, good food.
Favorite Dish: The cuisine is of mixed East Asian origin. Among other things: Thai Green Curry, Cashew Nut Chicken, Lemon Grass Chicken, and Indonesian specialities like Nasi Goreng and Mee Goreng.
The Weyside: By the river
The riverside location is unique and the environment stylish. Seats both inside and by the river on a terrace.
Favorite Dish: The say that the menu changes daily. A cold lightly smoked breast of duck on a bed of green mixed salad was excellent.

Report: More riders linked to Armstrong's doctor
Friday - 10/19/2012, 10:18am EDT
By ANDREW DAMPF
AP Sports Writer
ROME (AP) - At least 15 more cyclists have been linked to Lance Armstrong's banned Italian sport doctor in an intricate scheme of money laundering, tax evasion and widespread doping.
Former Giro d'Italia winners Michele Scarponi and Denis Menchov, and this year's Olympic champion Alexandre Vinokourov, are under investigation for doping under the supervision of Dr. Michele Ferrari, the Gazzetta dello Sport reported Friday.
Citing documents from an inquiry led by Padua prosecutor Benedetto Roberti, the Gazzetta detailed how Ferrari allegedly masterminded a $40 million operation where riders and teams avoided taxes by recycling money via Gibraltar, Monte Carlo, Switzerland and South America.
Ferrari and the cyclists deny wrongdoing.
Roberti has been leading a sweeping investigation of Ferrari for several years, parts of which were used in the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) report detailing why it banned Armstrong for life and ordered him to be stripped of all seven of his Tour de France titles.
Armstrong has acknowledged that Ferrari was his trainer until 2004, and Ferrari's name is mentioned throughout the USADA report. In July, USADA banned Ferrari for life.
Roberti told The AP last week that his inquiry was nearly finished.
"We need to figure out where the real truth lies in all this," Gianni Bugno, the president of the international cyclists' union (CPA) told The Associated Press on Friday. "There's an ongoing investigation and once the inquiry ends, then we'll see what the situation is."
Doping is a crime in Italy, and Ferrari was already cleared on appeal in 2006 of criminal charges of distributing banned products to athletes. But he remains barred for life by the Italian Cycling Federation under a 2002 ruling.
"Doping is not a cycling problem, it's a problem for all sports," Bugno said. "Ferrari didn't work only with cyclists. He also worked with athletes from other sports."
For example, former Olympic race walking champion Alex Schwazer acknowledged working with Ferrari after it was revealed on the eve of this year's London Games that he tested positive.
Bugno doesn't want to see pro cycling stopped, even momentarily.
"No, we need to move forward. Stopping would hurt the innocent (riders)," he said. "We need to fight against those cheating the system and defend the innocent. ... We're waiting for a response from the UCI (International Cycling Union) on all that has happened. It's the UCI that needs to respond to the USADA report."
Ferrari is reportedly under investigation again in Italy for criminal association, trafficking and administering doping substances, tax evasion and money laundering.
Investigators placed hidden microphones in the camper van that Ferrari used to meet with cyclists in remote areas of Italy and in Switzerland, the Gazzetta said. The newspaper printed a phone-tap conversation between Scarponi and Ferrari inside the van in September 2010 during which the rider said he could win the following year's Giro and the physician replied that if he used a blood transfusion he had a chance.
Scarponi finished second in the 2011 Giro but then was bumped up to champion when Alberto Contador was stripped of the title for doping at the 2010 Tour de France. Vincenzo Nibali finished behind Scarponi.
In 2007, Scarponi was banned for 18 months for involvement in the Spanish doping scandal Operation Puerto.
Police also tapped a September 2010 phone call between Menchov and agent Raimondo Scimone during which the Russian rider tells the agent that he wants "all the cyclists working with him followed by Ferrari," according to the Gazzetta.
Scimone wrote in a statement to the paper that he was never involved in doping or wrongdoing.
Menchov raced with the Rabobank team from 2005-2010 and won the Giro in 2009. He also won the Spanish Vuelta in 2005 and 2007.
Rabobank announced Friday that it is ending its long sponsorship of professional cycling, saying "the trust in the cycling world has gone" following the publication of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency's report on Armstrong.
Vinokourov is also reportedly under investigation by Roberti. He won the men's road race at the London Olympics, having served a two-year ban after testing positive for blood doping during the 2007 Tour de France. The Kazakh rider retired at the end of this season.
Others reportedly under investigation are Armstrong's former teammates Yaroslav Popovych and Volodymyr Bileka; Russian riders Alexandr Kolobnev, Vladimir Karpets, Vladimir Gusev, Mikhail Ignatiev; Czech rider Roman Kreuziger; and Italians Filippo Pozzato, Lorenzo Bertagnolli, Giovanni Visconti and Franco Pellizzotti.
Bertagnolli's detailed confession to Roberti was published in the USADA report to reveal Ferrari's system.
Also, riders and teams took advantage of their image rights contracts to limit taxes, the Gazzetta reported, with Scimone helping them work with a company called T&F Sport Management in Monte Carlo to register the deals there and avoid tax.
The contracts were not registered with the UCI and the riders paid only 6 percent tax and then transferred the cash to Switzerland to use it in part for paying Ferrari, the paper said.

Hotel Van Onna
Bloemgracht 102/104/108, Amsterdam, Netherlands
Doubles from: $84 to $167
Note: This hotel does not offer online booking through our reservation partners. To see all available hotels in Amsterdam, please search below.
Reviewed by EuroCheapo.com Editors
The one-star Hotel Van Onna is pleasant, homey and quiet, offering 41 clean and simple rooms on the Bloemgracht, in the heart of the Jordaan. It's an interesting place, housed in a mid-20th century building with a modern facade that somehow manages to fit in with the other townhouses lining the canal.
When we say rooms are simple, we mean it: Expect a room with purple carpeting, a metal-framed bed, a few pieces of wicker furniture, and prints hanging on cream walls. Each is equipped with a small private bathroom with shower. Thirteen rooms face the canal, and five are funky attic rooms boasting fantastic views of Amsterdam's rooftops (warning: these might get rather warm in summer as the hotel doesn't have AC). No TV or telephone.
The plain Jane routine may not last long, however. The management told us during our last visit that they expect to upgrade at least half of the rooms to a two- or three-star hotel at some point in 2015. Stay tuned for that.
In the meantime, the Van Onna remains an affordable, quiet option.
A continental breakfast is included in the room rate. Note that there is a five percent credit card surcharge. The hotel does not have an elevator, and Wi-Fi is offered for free, but really only works well downstairs in the lobby.

Milwaukee Rep's 'I Left My Heart' celebrates song more than singer
If you attend "I Left My Heart," the Milwaukee Repertory Theater's season-opening Tony Bennett revue, you won't hear a word about the man who helped liberate a concentrate camp, marched with Martin Luther King Jr. at Selma and became an outspoken opponent of the American invasion of Iraq. Nor will you hear about Bennett's two divorces or former drug addiction.
As the subtitle to the Rep's revue indicates, what co-writers David Grapes and Todd Olson (who also directs) have created is a "salute to the music of Tony Bennett," with an emphasis on the music. »Read Full Article(1)

Yoyo master wins farewell edition of 'Talentadong Pinoy' reality search
MANILA, Philippines—In the end, there can only be one.
The title of Ultimate Talentado in the farewell edition of the TV5 reality search "Talentadong Pinoy" went to a yoyo master.
Spyro Marco bested six other Hall of Famers to win the top prize, which comes with P1 million cash and a house and lot.
Spyro also won the Texters' Choice honor.
Spyro, who was born in the United States, related that he first saw a master performing tricks with a Chinese yoyo in DisneyWorld. The young man soon mastered the Chinese yoyo. It was his grandmother who encouraged him to audition for the TV5 talent quest, which ended its five-year run Sunday night.
The other contestants in the finals included power-belter Sor Apao; illusionist JB de la Cruz or Laserman; soulful singer Rina Forbes; contortionists Larvae; hip-hop dance troupe Nocturnal; and WCOPA (World Championship of Performing Arts) champ Haina Udin.
The seven contestants battled it out in the finale held at the Cuneta Astrodome—a show that was hosted by Ryan Agoncillo and featured major stars like Sharon Cuneta, Derek Ramsay, Lucy Torres-Gomez, Joey de Leon, Edu Manzano and Judy Ann Santos.

Telecom Procurement
Bob Woods is president of Topside Consulting Group and former commissioner of the General Services Administration's Federal Technology Service.
If you have ever volunteered to oversee a transition of your network infrastructure, you are (1) dumber than a bag of hammers, (2) lacking excitement in your life or (3) know someone who has embarrassing photos of you. When I volunteered to move the Department of Veterans Affairs from Sprint to AT&T in the 1990s as part of the FTS 2000 process, I am not sure which of those conditions was the most influential.
The current transition of federal agencies from the FTS 2001 contracts awarded in the late 1990s to the Networx contracts awarded in the mid-2000s is more difficult than the move I oversaw, even though it is the government's third major transition of network services infrastructure.
The first major transition — from the Federal Telephone System to the commercially based FTS 2000 contracts awarded in 1988 — was in essence a government-to-industry conversion. The government was moving to a commercially based set of services, but it owned the incumbent infrastructure and organization. The transition was difficult, but agencies controlled the variables.
When the government moved from FTS 2000 with AT&T and Sprint as the providers to FTS 2001 with MCI and Sprint as the providers, the new contractors were offering services with updated technologies and architectures, but it was basically a like-for-like swap. There were a few challenges, but the transition got done and agencies garnered significant savings.
The transition to Networx is also an industry-to-industry transition, but it has been slower and less effective, and fewer savings have been realized. Why is that?
For one thing, the latest transition is not a like-for-like transfer. Networx seeks to maximize flexibility, savings and new technology. In other words, it looks much different from its predecessor, FTS 2001. It is similar to replacing a fleet of Fords with Hummers — not the vehicles agencies are used to operating and maintaining.
To add to the Networx woes, agencies did not have the necessary, technologically up-to-date employees in place to manage the transition and function in the new environment. Additionally, the General Services Administration's decision to leave each agency to do its own contracting for technical support further delayed the process.
It has been more than five years since the Networx contracts were awarded. By my calculations, the glacial pace of the transition has cost the government in excess of $1 billion in savings that could have been achieved from lower rates. Although no transition happens immediately, those that drag on through most of the contracts' term are losers for agencies and taxpayers.
So what do these three transitions tell us?
First, transitions should not be taken lightly by those who lack the expertise to execute them. Second, the talent and expertise to conduct transitions must be in place and ready to go the day the new contracts are awarded.
In other words, transitions should be simpler, better planned, and supported by technically capable and dedicated staff. Because the goal is overall dollar savings, spending months or years to wring out the last few pennies of savings is a mistake. Get the bulk of the savings early, and refine your approach and management at a later stage.
When I oversaw VA's move from Sprint to AT&T, we planned and executed the transition with the support of our staff and those of the companies involved. I was fortunate not to have to go through another transition at a major agency. My IQ did improve in the process, however.

Dining choices and the university are within easy walking distance. The staff is very accommodating.
I wish they had told me before we made the reservation that parking costs $18.00 per day.
Hot water after running faucet for a full five minutes on upper floors.
Cordial, helpful staff. Prime location right on the lake. Beautiful rooms with great amenities.
Pricey - you're paying a premium price, though you do get what you pay for!!!
Great breakfast
Shuttle only ran after 6:00am. I needed to leave at 5:00am. So I needed taxi which cost extra 17.00 $. Also refrigerator in room did not work. The staff running shuttles did not help with luggage. So if you need shuttles before 6:00am and need help pick someplace else
Quiet during the week.
Booked a 12 day stay, and received confirmation. before trip departure I got a call from hotel manager saying they couldn't honor my booked nights for the 11 & 12. Disappointed had to move out for the weekend. No compensation or bennies offered up for the inconvenience.
The rooms were quiet from interior noise, i.e. no sounds from adjoining rooms or the hallway. Housekeeping did a good job in the rooms, seemed clean enough and smelled clean. Amenities were adequate for my needs. Front desk people were always very pleasant. The breakfast each morning seemed to be well stocked, several choices including a hot meal with biscuits and gravy and scrambled eggs.
The common use areas, especially the waiting area outside the elevator and the elevator were always dirty. One day in particular something serious had been spilled - some thick red sticky sauce - from the entrance across the floor to the back of the elevator. No choice but to step in it if you wanted to get into the elevator. I informed the desk attendant about 9 AM (the spill looked like it had been there for some time) and when I returned about 1 PM the spill was still there.
When I first checked into my room the 'Febreeze' like smell was overwhelming and it took a couple of days to lighten up - needed to open a window whenever I was in the room.
The hallways have a rather unpleasant smell, musty and lingering food odors combined, but the carpeting and walls seemed clean and in good repair.
Clean. Great staff. Great price. For the event I was at the location was perfect even though it was located in an industrial section of town. Access to the highway made it a great option.
Great Staff, Comfortable Beds. Very Good Wifi. Nice Club Level Lounge/Breakfast.
A/C Unit Compressor was so loud we couldn't use it at night. Room was fairly dark. Electrical outlets scarce. Walls thin.
Bed linen very nice..very comfortable.
There were no vents in the bathroom to turn on. Got kinda stuffy.
Very friendly and accommodating staff. Very clean and fresh room. Very quiet even though the building was close to a major highway. Hallway was clean, breakfast area very, clean.
Waffle mix didn't get crispy when cooked. Maybe a better brand for the mix.
The room was very clean and i loved the cool table in the room, the toilet paper holder was genious, and the shower was amazing.
I couldnt find the thermostat and it was really hot in there,the main office was ridiculously small. The parking lot was hard to park in. It looked dirty and I was acually worried what kind of condition the room would be in.
Clean workout room
My room was right next to the breakfast area. Parents were allowing their children to run up and down the halls and scream. The staff did not do anything about it. A large group of people were up until about 2 AM in the morning loud banging things and the hotel staff did not do anything about it. I will never stay at a Hampton Inn. I did ask the staff if I could change rooms and they said no. I had to have the exact same room that was given to me by kayak. There were other rooms in the hotel they just refuse to give me another room. Poor service. The breakfast workers were very friendly and accommodating. I do not recommend staying at this Hampton or any Hampton.
The facility is well maintained and the staff were very professional and concerned with the welfare of their guests. We will definitely stay here the next time we are in Madison.
Highly Recommend
I could not find this hotel, 2 half hrs looking. Finally found an America's Best but it was a different on, luckily the lady at the desk was kind enough to Let Me Just Transfer My Reservation. So I stayed at the Mayflower.
The room was nice, breakfast was great.
The directions, never did find.
The complimentary breakfast was FANTASTIC!! Nearly worth the price of admission in itself.
This hotel was inexpensive and in an easy location to get to all of the sights.
Very good made to order breakfast:)
The doors make such a loud slam. That was the only thing that was disturbing. Especially at 2am.
No problem
A GREAT value, professional staff, very good breakfast.
Great location. And our dog could stay with us!
Great location; easy to find, right off the Beltway, and convenient to downtown Madison. Clean room, nice breakfast, reasonable price. Will definitely stay there again.
Dirt between cabinet and refrigerator. Also hair behind the bathroom door.
Great value and pet friendly! Rooms are always clean and include a kitchenette. Bed is comfortable. Staff is always pleasant and helpful. Continental breakfast is obe of the best I've ever had and has everything from the basics like cereal, toast, and fruit to waffles, biscuits and gravy, or a breakfast sandwich.
Pool is a bit smaller than I'd prefer.
location is perfect
it would be nice if they offered free breakfast
paying extra for parking
The location to entertainment and attractions. Food was excellent.
Staff was awesome -- friendly, helpful, engaging. The room was clean, well laid-out, functional. Super-close to the square, easy parking, good breakfast.
The staff was very friendly and the parking was near the room. Location was good. Bed was comfortable.
I requested a handicap room only to find that leaning on the sink made the whole wall mounted mirror and sink tip forward. The sink leaked leaving a trail of water through the middle of the bathroom to the drain in the floor, and the shower allowed water to flow right into the center of the bathroom to the drain in the floor. It was slippery and dangerous.

All's Well, Ends Well is the seventh Hong Kong film to bear that title, the latest in a series of loosely connected romantic comedies that has become a popular H.K. Lunar New Year tradition since the first opened in 1992. As with most serial sequels, the establishment of a "tradition" frees the filmmakers from any pressure to innovate, improve, or otherwise make an above-and-beyond effort to surprise and delight. (See America's Fockers franchise.) The premise here is that a website allowing women to reach out and contact men on the odd occasion when male help is still necessary has taken Hong Kong by storm. (The girls are invariably competent and knockouts; the men generally boobs.) Four such encounters of convenience set up the alternating stories in 2012 All's Well: A never-was singer (Donnie Yen) acts as an escort for a has-been pop star (Sandra Ng); a construction worker (Louis Koo) does beefcake posing for a photographer (Kelly Lin); a wealthy lawyer (series regular Raymond Wong) is hired to play daddy to a fatherless socialite seeking a suitable husband; and, in the bit that recurs with the pleasure of a nagging toothache, a homely romance novelist (Chapman To) provides an experience of love to a ravishing blind girl (Lynn Xiong). Taken together, the whole thing is good for approximately one laugh, generated by the shabbiest CGI reptile since Anaconda.
