Interview: Logan Welch and Laney Orr R.J. Reynolds HS Baseball Players
in Baseball
2014 All-State and 2-time All-Conference selection, Welch is the ACE of the talented Demon
pitching staff. Welch heads into the 2015 season with tremendous opportunities. "Logan has
a chance to set every RJR pitching record covering the last 2 decades... but "those are just
numbers...Logan says he wants a state championship ring for the 2015 Demons!" To get that
ring, Welch(10-0 in 2014, 97 strikeouts and 1.58 ERA) must lead the Demons with dominating
pitching and a highly productive bat at the plate. Welch, along with the others Demon seniors,
must lead Coach Welch's squad as a unit if they are to capture the first state title in RJR
baseball history.
Coach Welch hopes 2015 is a breakout year for Orr. "Laney is a freak athlete with unlimited
potential. If he stays healthy, he will help us in every way." Orr has power, speed, arm strength,
and defensive skills that put him into a category with only a few high school players. The
Demons need Orr 100% healthy to truly make a run at the 4A state title

He had scored over 40 goals the season before and helped Queen of the South land both the Challenge Cup and the Second Division title.
But scoring goals for Queens is a different proposition entirely to scoring goals for Rangers.
I am sure Nicky will have learned an awful lot about the demands of being a Rangers player in his debut season.
But he will have to step up a level given that Kris Boyd and Kenny Miller have both been brought in.
I am sure their arrivals will help to spur him on and he will benefit from training and playing alongside such experienced strikers, but this is a big season for Nicky.
He scored the winner in the 2-1 victory over Victoria Highlanders on the pre-season tour of Canada and the United States. He is going to have to do the same thing whenever Ally McCoist gives him the nod to play.
At 23, he is not a kid any more. A lot of people will be expecting a lot more from him than he produced at times when Rangers were in League One.
I don't expect he will start every week if Boyd and Miller are fit. So when he does get his chance he is going to have to grasp it and prove his worth.
He will have to run his socks off, create chances for himself and take opportunities when they fall his way if he is to take his Rangers career to a new level.

What's so good?
By Rhett Flowers | May 25, 2013 | Total plays: 7,827
This first single, "How the Ranks Was Won," proves my theory about what was lurking within him. Saltwater is a fully realized album of some great art-pop music, but it still hooks you in with your typical indie rock styling. I highly suggest checking out this album from Brazos, which comes out May 28 on Dead Oceans.


text: 1.) How do you check how much space you have left on your memory card? 2.) How do you delete videos & music from your Vita? I haven't tried getting it on my Vita, I'm just wondering if I can before I copy a huge video onto my memory card. Thanks in advance guys!

London Part I
I have just returned from a visit to England for what is likely to be the last time in a long while. A day in London was therefore required, so Mandy and I took our cameras in an effort to capture one sunny spring day in the capital.
It's easy to forget how every inch of road can become occupied by something moving. People dart in and out of traffic. The noise is incredible.
A team of window cleaners easily dangle off skyscrapers
Sometimes you see pretty little pubs squashed between giant glass buildings. They know they were there first.
The London Eye rolls people round giving them the best views.
But today, we were interested in the people. Who's out there? Well, for a start, the Americans are getting their shots for 'Show and Tell'.
People stand around at Westminster Abbey not knowing where to start.
Buses empty them out and leave them to find out.
The City has come round from a dirty winter, and it's looking lovely.
The railings have been spruced up.
People stick to the paths. Nobody walks on the just-mown grass at Westminster Abbey.
It's quite warm. But not warm enough for shorts.
There is a lot of looking up to do. Don't want to miss a thing.
Finally a green patch opposite Big Ben where we can all lie down and get the camera out.
Just don't want to miss that shot.
Definitely his best side don't you think?
Time for a bit of lunch and a bit of 'rubber-necking' to see what's going on.
Cars wait for the lights to change. That taxi driver will get away first. I know it.
And she will get there before all the rest. She's overtaking everything.
Hmmmm, something going down in Downing Street. He's not going to be able to make his delivery, that's for sure.
The tourist hotspots carry on as usual. These chaps just stand around all day, being photographed, coping with people petting their horse. They never ever smile. That's their job.
London has a way of wearing you out like nowhere else. It's not long before we are seriously in need of a good cup of coffee and a biscuit. These did it for us nicely.
The Big Issue man decided to do a little turn for us. Very Nice. Thanks so much.
The lovely doorman at The Savoy was happy to pose. Does it all the time.
And then, what a spot of luck, they were making a film at Somerset House. We caught them in their break, but it didn't stop us having a good snoop around.
Turns out, they were making a horror film. I wonder who this is?
You can't see, but this fellow was having a quick fag-break.
A perfect location for something with a bit of atmosphere.
There were bits of kit unattended for us to explore.
You've just got to laugh haven't you during a long days' filming?
All he wanted was a bit of peace away from the cameras to eat his sandwich. Then I came along.
Getting the throat lubricated ready for some more screaming.
Well, better get back to it.
Just time for a quick snack. Dobbin's already had his.
Is this my best side?
Just finishing on the dog and bone and I'll be back in character
Moving on from the set, we head over to Fleet Street for something sweet. The day isn't half way over yet, but you can catch wheat else we saw next time.
2 responses
Thanks for sharing your half day in London. Great pictures, and mini tour.

Jian Ghomeshi is a soft-spoken radio host who works for CBC. He recently launched a lawsuit against the CBC for a bagillion dollars, with which he intends to decorate his castle, I presume.
The whole maelstrom surrounding the injustice against Mr. Ghomeshi has taken the world by storm. Reddit is discussing it, The Guardian is covering it, The Tyee has written about the BDSM element that "just doesn't add up" so I can throw my 5 cents into the eye of the storm, just for the record.
I find it absurd that "Canadian radio's brightest star" would be shunned by the CBC over what he surmises are ugly rumours and unsubstantiated accusations.
After posting a letter on Facebook, in which he explains that his BDSM inclinations are being misconstrued by his employer, Ghomeshi filed a significant lawsuit against the CBC.
According to Ghomeshi, these allegations are an act of a vengeful, demonic presence that is his ex-girlfriend and one of those filthy journos who are taking advantage of the situation.
Admittedly, we all dated a demon or two, but most of us never found ourselves in a situation of our high-profile employment being endangered, or worse, resulting in a dismissal.
Unless I'm mistaken, Ghomeshi is not only a beloved star, who has been removing panties with a mere whiff of his pillowy cheeks and fine designer duds for years, but also a union employee. Judging by the barrage of the press coverage, I will also bargain that he has a great PR and legal team at his side.
Not only is he assured of certain protections, but considering his popularity and value to the CBC, whatever the case with the network may be these days, I find it dubious that some barely spun story by a vengeful ex would make for a just cause for his dismissal, no matter the "optics".
Ghomeshi has select protections as an employee. As an asset of great value, I would assume that the network would go the extra mile to absolutely ensure that Ghomeshi is not faced with a PR disaster of unparalleled proportions based on mere vengeful rumours and fallacies. CBC would do its due dilligence, and prove without a doubt that there is a grievous cause for a dismissal of a major asset, such as Ghomeshi.
So what is the lawsuit really about? Ghomeshi is attempting to save his own skin, build up the presence that will make the audiences wonder "did he or didn't he" to sow just enough confusion in public that would ensure he gets another gig somewhere. This lawsuit is not about justice, but about visibility, and the fact that you and me are writing and thinking about Ghomeshi, learning how to spell his name correctly, and not reading about Rob Ford.
To assume otherwise would be a grave mistake. So, without jumping to conclusions, I would sit back, watch whatever dirt comes out next, before I jump on the Ghomeshi defense train.
I am sure that the circus has only rolled into town and that there remains a lot more to be witnessed.

I knew it. Anyone tackling all of that in their life definitely deserves the title.
I only had two children, and there's no way I ever wanted a job outside of the home. Women go to work for various reasons. Necessity, boredom, career, excitement, and many others that escape me at the moment.
I wish all the best for you and your family.

Comment: The complexities of lesbian life in rural Texas
1:15 PM — Sometimes I find it difficult to even relate to lesbians who live in well populated metropolitan areas.I live in a very rural area of east Texas, where there is no lesbian or gay public presence to speak of. If you want to go to a pride parade, you can drive 130 miles to Dallas and catch one.If you want to go to a lesbian bar - same drive. There is one gay bar only 60 miles away, but it's predominantly for gay men.

Maradona played a role in persuading Tevez to go to Old Trafford in the summer as he is such a big admirer of English football and believes Tevez will be a huge success alongside Wayne Rooney.
Maradona told the Mirror: "Tevez is like a son to me - from the moment I met him I have felt like that. I met him six years ago when he was at Boca Juniors and instantly I could see he was going to be great.
"He reminded me of when I was his age - the hunger and the passion for the game.
Every second he had a ball with him he was happy.
"We are still so close and my ex-wife and his wife are very good friends.
"I can't wait to get over to England and see him and for him to come to watch me play.
"I will make sure he sees a good game when we play England. I still have the hunger to play well and score goals and that's what I will do."
Tevez, 23, has been compared to Maradona because they are both compact and strong and came up through the Boca Juniors ranks.
"He is a fantastic player," said Maradona. "He is very strong on the ball and has amazing vision."

Le Germain Hotel Maple Leaf Square Toronto
75 Bremner Blvd, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Neighborhood: Downtown
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
With the opening of its second Toronto boutique hotel, the Montreal-based Groupe Germain has kicked off a study in contrasts — A Tale of Two Sister Hotels, if you will, each one seamlessly integrated into its particular neighborhood. Where the first Le Germain was an infusion of poetic modernity into the theater district, the newer Maple Leaf Square hotel takes its cues from sportier neighbors (namely the Air Canada Centre, home of the Maple Leafs and the Raptors). Pairing lithe, athletic design with a Euro-chic sensibility, this hotel feels right at home in the downtown office/condo/shopping district.
Making overtures to out-of-towners here for business or sports (or sports business, for that matter), the exterior is heavy on the steel-and-glass look. But where other hotels are content to let half-hearted minimalism stand in for style, Hotel Le Germain plays with a variety of tactile design elements. Here, polished wood and stone, Frette linens, and a wide array of fabrics and upholsteries vie for your attention. Open loft-style floor plans take full advantage of long windows to bathe the 167 guest rooms in an abundance of natural light, while glass-walled showers provide a cheeky counterpoint to the photos of shirtless athletes that decorate the walls.
Even if you find yourself trapped in the dullest meeting on earth, Le Germain's corporate gathering spaces do what they can to make things tolerable. The designers wisely skipped the soulless conference room in favor of a private dining area that carries over the wall-to-wall windows and high ceilings of the welcoming public spaces. The most relaxing of these, the lobby lounge, serves cocktails and tapas to help pre-game for an evening in the stands or out on the town.
How to get there:
Le Germain Maple Leaf Square is located 28km (20-45 min depending on traffic) from Toronto Airport. Transfers can be arranged for $63, one way. Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com for assistance with airport transfers.

We had a great time. Nice house and nice pool.
About the Owner
After many years of visiting Central Florida on vacation we decided to purchase and manage vacation homes for others to enjoy. Our company, Seneca 108 LLC, now owns a total of seven vacation homes.
So if this particular home is not what you are looking for do e mail us as we may have other options for you to consider.
Guestbook comments from the manager
Thanks for allowing us to stay at Villa Joya, the house was ideal for our requirements and we had a great week!
Everything about the villa was fine and I cannot really think of anything that I would want to criticise.
We did not eat in at all, apart from tea, coffee and toast for breakfast and cold drinks by the pool, and so did not use the cooker or microwave, as we preferred to eat at the great choice of local restaurants!!
The bed in the master bedroom is really comfortable - which is important to us as we both suffer with our backs!
The only slight hitch was that when we arrived the pool was slightly green. I called the management company who were helpful and sent a pool man out promptly and he sorted the matter out. He said a chlorine valve had been inadvertently left turned off.
All in all we were very happy and will certainly stay at Villa Joya again next time we visit, subject, of course, to dates and availability!!
As promised we left the place probably cleaner than when we arrived - although it was very nice and clean on arrival, and I am pleased to report we had no accidents or breakages.

ideally located for theme parks great area to stay
had a great time in the pool the parks etc. I enjoyed the villa very comfortable ,I realise you are still working on your decorating as painter arrived as we were leaving, I would recommend this villa .It is in a great central location for parks and restaurants .Only one thing maybe a new vacuum cleaner would be a help
as it wasn't lifting . thanks for return of deposit great service!!
A clean and quiet villa
We had a great time. Nice house and nice pool.
Great place to relax but also close to venues!
Wonderful location.
Overall ok
When we first arrived we found a lot of garbage out of the trash containers, which remained there until we organized and it.
The house has a really serious problem with ants, they are everywhere, and everything that you leave will be attacked by them, doesn't matter if the container is closed. My advice is that you take action about this.
I found food under the sofa coushions.
Lights from one room didn't work.
Wifi sometimes was really slow.
From the Owner
"Villa Joya is ideal for smaller family groups and those seeking a lower cost option for their vacation in Central Florida. It is particularly suited to those like 'snowbirds' who are looking for a cozy and comfortable villa for an extended stay."
Activity and Interests
Villa Joya is located in a private cul de sac on the indian point development in kissimmee.
Villa Joya is ideally located for all the attractions that central florida has to offer. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms allow this luxury villa to sleep up to 6 guests plus an infant in a pack and play cot.
Easy access to disneyworld, universal, islands of adventure and seaworld are complemented by the relative proximity to busch gardens ( about 75 minutes) and kennedy space center, just an hour away.
Nearer to home is a small zoo on the nearby Ponciana Boulevard just five minutes from Villa Joya
Just over an hour will get you to Cocoa Beach on the Atlantic coast and not much more than that will get you to the Gulf of Mexico coast.
For most however Villa Joya and the Indian point development is the ideal location for a vacation because of its location in relation to disneyworld.
Just a short drive down highway 192 leads to the entry to disneyworld. The attractions of the magic kingdom are known globally.
Before you know it you are walking down main street and deciding whether to head off towards frontierland (big thunder mountain and splash mountain), or tomorrowland for a quick whirl around space mountain.
If you have younger children (or like us a daughter who suddenly becomes a 'young child' on arrival at the magic kingdom) then no doubt the first port of call will be fantasyland and a sedate boat trip on its a small world.
Hollywood studios is the easiest park to get to being just two minutes from leaving highway 192. Head off to aerosmith and pick up a fast pass for tower of terror. Decide who wants to audition for the the american idol show!
Epcot takes two or three visits to even begin to appreciate all it has to offer. Soarin´ in the land pavillion is worth the inevitable long queue. Then its the leisurely boat ride through the greenhouses.
As in the rest of disneyworld if you have your iphone or blackberry with you free wifi will enable you to catch up with your e mails whilst in the line. Not a good idea however whilst riding test track or mission space!
The mile and a half walk around the world showcases will take at least half a day. Enjoy fish and chips in the United Kingdom showcase and wander around the twinings tea garden.
The 360 degree cinema shows in the Canadian and french showcases are fantastic. Watch out for the shows that may be on at the theater in front of the America showcase, they are truly amazing and not to be missed.
If you fancy some haute cuisine then head off to France, well the showcase anyway. Taste the best of french wines en route.
Animal kingdom is a wonderful place. Watch out for the yeti on everest and don´t miss the lion king show. Cool down in the congo rapids and wander around 'africa'.
Seaworld is a more leisurely day out, the shamu show is incredible. If you want something exciting ride kraken and cool off on atlantis.
Universal Studios again needs a few visits to appreciate all it has to offer. See how your score rates on men in black and consider auditioning for fear factor.
If you are into Harry Potter then you will love Islands of Adventure. Even if you are not then the hulk and spiderman will have you well entertained. Get soaked on the bilge barges and get more soaked on dudleys ripsaw falls!
If you have any interest at all in science then a trip to Kennedy Space Center is a must. Space shuttle atlantis forms the centrepiece of a new display area in 2013 and the shuttle experience is a realistic simulation of what it was like at launch.
There is a choice of bus tours including one which takes you just a few feet from the launchpad which was used for the apollo missions and later on for the shuttle itself. Then its on to to see a real saturn 5 rocket and to walk the length of it (its horizontal of course!) is amazing. Then you can enjoy a bite to eat sitting directly under a lunar module.
A 24hr walmart superstore is two minutes away from Villa Joya so you can stock up on the way back home.
Numerous numerous restaurants are then just a short drive away. Outback is our favourite, just the thought of cheesy chips or an onion bloomer .......

I've been friends with Charlie Sena for almost two decades. Charlie, a longtime entrepreneur, Democratic political operative and fundraiser for former Gov. Gray Davis, recently chided me about what he sees as my "negativity" about California and its future. My response was that, given its natural advantages, this region should not be in such a weakened condition. Decline, I suggest, is not an imperative here, but largely a choice.
Last week, I decided to confront this issue over lunch at Citrus Grille in Orange, just down the block from Chapman University, where I teach. Charlie noted that the negative points I was making were correct, but I owed it to the readers to "write a piece on why California can be, and should be, a state with the right climate for business growth."
So, we sat in the restaurant, working on a list of positive things for California to build on. We centered on working with our population, including many immigrants and entrepreneurs, reinforcing our connections to Asia and Mexico and, finally, taking advantage of our climate. "The great strength of California," Charlie suggests, "is people – people who go out and make it on their own."
Immigrant Edge
The first group Charlie pointed to are immigrants, a group for which California long has been a lure. Twenty percent of Californians are foreign-born, and one of four immigrants nationally lives in our state. Amidst a general downturn in overall entrepreneurial activities, notes a recent study, the foreign-born have continued to expand their business footprint. In 2011, notes the Kaufmann Foundation, immigrant start-up rates were twice those of the native-born.
Attitudes are important here. To succeed in a highly regulated, expensive state like California, you need to have more than usual perseverance.
Asians, for example, according to the Pew Research Center, are far more likely than other Americans to believe that "hard work" pays off. Not surprisingly, they also tend to have higher levels of education, income and business success than other Americans.
But equally important has been the entrepreneurial growth among Latinos, who became the state's largest ethnic group in 2014, according to demographers, and could be close to 50 percent of the population by 2050. Indeed, a recent study of Latino business found that Hispanic entrepreneurs have more than tripled since 1990, from 577,000 to more than 2 million. Not only did this growth outpace that of the overall population increase among Hispanics, but at a rate of increase far above the national average.
Anyone who drives out into the vast expanses of the state can see these businesses – new markets, countless restaurants, small factories, farms, local banks and scores of smaller service firms. California's new commercial signature is not the traditional mall or luxury shopping street, but, rather, multiethnic commercial areas, like the Diamond Jamboree center in Irvine.
Rise of Self-employed
But there's also signs of greater growth in the ranks of self-employed people across the population. The self-employed proprietor is the one entrepreneurial category that has grown since the recession. This may well represent a pragmatic choice by business people who wish to make money, but avoid the ever-increasing regulations here that make having employees increasingly difficult.
This growth is particularly vibrant in the Riverside-San Bernardino area, notes a recent study by the economic modeling firm EMSI Inc. The inland region expanded its sole-proprietor ranks by 11.8 percent since 2008, second to booming Houston and more than twice the growth rate of either the Bay Area or Los Angeles-Long Beach. All these key California areas greatly outperformed such competitors as Denver, Greater Washington, D.C., Chicago or Atlanta.
Foreign connections
California also has enjoyed a unique connection to the fast-growing economies of the Pacific Rim and Mexico. Texas succeeded in luring Toyota, as Tennessee did with Nissan, but neither state possesses the intense cultural and historic ties California enjoys with Japan and other Pacific Rim countries. To be sure, places like Plano, outside Dallas, and around Houston's Bellaire Road look increasingly like the San Gabriel Valley or Garden Grove in their ethnic flavor, but they are at least a generation – and an order magnitude – behind.
Where Texas eats our lunch, says Charlie, who lived in Houston years ago, is in forging ties with Mexico. Many Californians – particularly on the right but also on the "green" left – tend to regard Mexico as something of a threat to our social and ecological order. But supposedly less-enlightened Texas, where business is king, has developed a powerful passion for closer ties to Mexico, with a growing partnership between the Lone Star State and Mexico, which, for example, is already Houston's foremost trading partner.

Coaches, parents and school officials at both Jonathan Alder and London high schools worked tirelessly to get wet fields ready for district tournament competition on Thursday, May 15.
All the hard work paid off for one school as it won its tourney game and advanced to a Division II district semifinal, the other might have wished it had waited for a nicer day as its 2014 season came to an abrupt end.
Jonathan Alder 15,
Centennial 0
5 innings
Sometimes when one team is drastically better than another it's easy for the better team to be a little unfocused and perhaps overconfident.
The Pioneers (22-1) were neither in their district tournament opener against the visiting Stars. In fact it was quite the opposite, Alder showed up with a laser-like attention to detail, pounded the ball for a 17 total of hits and showed no signs of weakness.
"These girls came out and were really focused tonight," Alder coach Dave McGrew said. "They're just locked in right now. We have a senior (Brooke Foster) who is leading by example and these girls are really playing well right now."
Foster is hitting well over .500 this season, has roughly 40 runs scored and has stolen 25 bases. She hits leadoff for the Pioneers but just as easily could be hitting in the three-hole which is typically the spot of the best hitter on a team. With her at the top of the lineup setting the table, the Pioneers have been tough to beat.
The game with Centennial actually started on Wednesday, but was stopped due to weather. The Pioneers were ahead 5-0 when the game continued and the hits just kept on coming. Mady Watson limited the Stars to just two hits over the five innings.
With the win No. 2 Alder advances to the D-II district semifinal where it will likely face No. 6 seed Heath at 5 p.m. on Monday, May 19, at Pickerington North.
McGrew knows that things will get significantly tougher from here on out.
"Heath is a very good team," he said. "On paper maybe we're the better team, but our girls know that they have to come ready to play. There are nothing but good teams left. If we don't come focused and prepared our season could be over Monday night, we know this."
Buckeye Valley 11,
London 0
6 innings
The Red Raiders (11-12) were upended for the third time this season by the Barons, as Valley pounded the ball and advanced to a district semifinal where it will likely face top-seeded Licking Valley.
Neither team scored a run in the first two innings, but Buckeye Valley broke through with three runs in the third, tacked on five more in the fourth and were never threatened the rest of the way.
London has had issues at times this season with errors and that problem reared its ugly head against Valley. The Red Raiders committed six errors in the game and could only muster one hit in the game, a double by Lauren Miller.
Miller suffered the loss inside the pitcher's circle.

Re: Balsa cored hulls
Actually, A cored hull is much more expensive to build, should retain a larger portion of its strength over time since there is less fatique inducing flexure, and for any given weight, starts out stronger and stiffer.
That is why boats from the higher quality boat builders are built with cored hulls while the cheaper boats are not.
The fatigue issue is a serious one. Actual testing of older boat panels by an insurance industry study showed that fatique dramatically reduced the strength in older panels over time. But, and this is a big but, cored hulls only retain a higher portion of their strength if there is little or no delamination.
Balsa coring is popular because structurally it has better stiffness and sheer resistance than a similar weight foam coring. Properly installed, Balsa coring develops a strong and rot resistent bond with the skin.
In terms of long term durability of foam, there are a pretty wide range of foam core materials with equally divergent properties which makes it very hard to make a broad generality about the relative durability of foam coring.
In terms of build method, these days most cored boats are constructed using resin infusion or some other form of 'vaccuum bagging'. This results in a better bond between the core and the skins and in theory results in better protection from core damage. The key to preventing rot in a cored boats is avoiding penetrating the skins into the core or sealing any penetrations to avoid water intrusion.

Nathan Cleverly says he'll KO Karo Murat in the first round - just like fellow Welshman Joe Calzaghe did to Mario Veit, in 2001. Cleverly hopes to follow in the footsteps of Calzaghe by lifting a WBO world title against the Iranian based German Murat, live and exclusive on Sky Box Office. He'll be gunning for the Interim Light-Heavyweight belt on September 18 on Frank Warren's Magnificent Seven event at the LG Arena, Birmingham, against his unbeaten opponent. And the 23-year-old says he has taken inspiration from a one-round blitz by Calzaghe nine years ago at the CIA in Cardiff..
Cleverly was a teenage schoolboy watching that show in the crowd, but will never forget the performance.
"Joe was great that night," said Cleverly.
"It was occasions like that that made me want to become a professional fighter.
"It was a pretty miserable night to be German, and I'll make sure Murat gets the same kind of treatment.
"My power has been improving with every fight as I begin to grow up. When I started out as an 18-year-old professional I was a gangly super-middleweight who didn't really punch.
"Now I'm a big light-heavyweight and I've got the tools to take anyone out.
"I've got a lot of respect for Murat, because anyone who is undefeated is going to be dangerous and is going to coming thinking they can win.
"But I'm going to be so positive right from the start because I remember how the crowd got behind Joe when he tok it to Veit all those years ago."
Tickets for the Magnificent Seven are priced at £40, £50, £80, £150 and £200 and are available from:

Scottish scrapper Ricky Burns has been forced to head south in the search of sparring partners after knocking too many out at his Glasgow gym.
The WBO super-featherweight title challenger will now team up with Anthony Farnell's gym in Manchester.
And Burns will find good challenges there - it is home to 2007 Amateur World Champion Frankie Gavin, and Commonwealth light-heavyweight king Tony Bellew.
The 27-year-old Scotsman is currently working towards a showdown with Puerto Rican hardman Roman Martinez on September 4 at the Kevin Hall, Glasgow, live on Sky Sports 1.
If his preparations for the fight are anything to by, he could well prevent the title going back to Puerto Rico.
"We've had guys ringing up and cancelling sparring because they've heard what Ricky has been doing in the gym," said trainer Billy Nelson.
"Earlier this week two top fighters ring me within an hour of each other and said there was no way they were getting in the ring with Ricky.
"I can hardly blame them because the way he is fighting at the moment, he's a match for anyone in the super-featherweight division.
"Ever since he's been a wee lad, Ricky has been able to hold his own against anyone when it has come to boxing.
"But I the last 18 months or so he has really developed as a puncher. The wee man is dynamite.
"His fight against Martinez is being billed as a banger against a boxer, but Ricky will more than hold his own when it comes to power.
"He's been sparring light-welterweights and welterweights in the gym and he's been regularly putting them on their backsides.
"I'm so fed up with people refusing to step through the door that we've decided to go down to Manchester for a week or so and have a camp down there.
"It will be great for Ricky to get away for a few days as well and really get himself into fight mode."
Titled 'Burns Night', Martinez v Burns headlines a super-card at the famous Kelvin Hall in Glasgow that also features an exciting showdown between John Simpson and Stephen Smith for the Commonwealth Featherweight Championship; plus the comeback of former British Featherweight Champion Paul Appleby; and rising stars John Thain, Steven Ormond and Gary O'Sullivan.

We are researching the design and control of robots composed of multi-DOF linkages that can perform jumping motions. We call such a robot the "multi-DOF jumping robot". We take a 5 link, 4 joint serial link in a vertical plane as an example of a multi DOF jumping robot. We discuss the process to determine its design parameters from the viewpoint of realizing actual mechanical models. The design parameters include not only mechanical parameters but also motion planning parameters, because the motion condition of each joint strongly depends on motion planning. First, we show the type of jumping motion that we deal with and derive the conditions to achieve that. Then, we propose the motion planning method for jumping motions on the basis of a boundary state between ground and aerial phases. Next, we deliberate the limit characteristic of DC motors that are suitable for multi-DOF jumping robot design, and show the equations that express the limit characteristic. Then, we present one set of practical design parameters, and show simulation results of two types of jumping motions, normal jump and somersault.

MannKind Corp Analyst Report; Afrezza is Approved and Future Developments by BrokerBank Securities, Inc.
NEW YORK, July 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — MannKind Corporation (NASDAQ: MNKD) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of therapeutic products for diseases such as diabetes. The company's lead product – Afrezza inhalation powder – was recently approved by the FDA as a rapid-acting insulin therapy intended to improve glycemic control in adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. MannKind was founded by Al Mann for the purpose of developing inhaled insulin as an alternative to traditional injected insulin.
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that approximately 382 million people worldwide have diabetes with roughly 3.4 million cases leading to death. The US accounts for the third largest number of confirmed diabetes cases in the world at around 30 million, with China and India leading with around 92 million and 80 million, respectively. However, the portion of the population with diabetes is the highest in the US than in either of those countries. Additionally, diabetes is currently the seventh leading cause of death in the US, and WHO projects that the number of diabetes-related deaths will double by the year 2030. Worldwide, the total costs for diabetes treatment and care exceeded $548B last year, and is only expected to increase as more and more people are diagnosed in the future.

Beaded Holiday Garland
By: Bead Studio
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
This is a very easy, but a bit time consuming Holiday project from The Bead Studio that makes a cute decoration for a package, a tree or a window.
- 9' - 19g galvanized steel wire -cut in half (available at the hardware store)
- Roll of 28g Craft Wire
- 400-500 Acrylic Faceted Beads (Assorted sizes - 4,6, & 8mm)
Take two ends of the galvanized wire and twist to create a 1/2" - 1" loop.
Cut a long, but manageable length of 28g wire and twist around the galvanized wire , starting at the loop and working down about 1" to make a branch.
Slide 4 beads of assorted sizes onto the wire. Create a 3" - 4" loop using 6" - 8" of wire with the beads captured in the loop, continue to wind around the galvanized base wire.
To make a branch, twist the loop, seperating the beads as you twist the wire.
Continue twisting the wire around the base and make a new branch every 1/4" - 1/2" until you run out of wire.
Add new wire by twisting on a new piece and continue to repeat the steps above until you have reached 6 inches from the end of the base wire.
Loop the galvanized wire 2 inches after the last branch and twist to secure. Trim the excess and wind the 28g wire up to the loop. Trim and tuck the end down.

HUNTINGTON BEACH – Tank Willis is out of the doghouse.
It took his owners more than three months and $20,000 in legal fees, but the purebred Pembroke Welsh corgi – a short-legged herder adored by Queen Elizabeth II – was removed this week from a county agency's list of "vicious" dogs.
The vicious designation lasts for life and comes with all sorts of restrictions for the dogs and fees for the owners. The vicious list includes dogs that, when unprovoked, severely injure or kill a person. Along with a less-severe designation of "potentially dangerous" – a label that an owner can try to change once every three years – the vicious label is a tool used by OC Animal Care to ensure public safety.
As of Thursday, 179 dogs have been declared "vicious" or "potentially dangerous" in the 17 cities and unincorporated areas of Orange County that fall under the jurisdiction of OC Animal Care.
Tank nearly was No. 180.
The legal dogfight over Tank and the vicious dog label underscores the often deep divisions that emerge between dog owners and county pet enforcement officials after a dog bite is reported.
In the Tank biting incident, both sides do not dispute the basic facts.
At around noon on Halloween, Tank, 7 years old and 33 pounds, bit a groomer, Kassandra Elmore, at a Huntington Beach Petco, an act that resulted in Elmore needing 30 sutures to close two wounds near her mouth. Paramedics responded to treat Elmore and reported the bite to the county. Tank was put immediately into a 10-day quarantine, and county officials made an initial determination that Tank was "vicious."
Tank's owners, Priscilla and Donald Willis of Huntington Beach, formally challenged that finding, but in late November their challenge was denied at an administrative hearing with the county.
In December, the Willises filed an appeal to overturn the designation in Orange County Superior Court. That appeal was heard Monday, when the court ordered that Tank be taken off the vicious list.
Such a reversal doesn't happen often, says Ryan Drabek, director of OC Animal Care.
In court, Tank's owners, armed with written statements from neighbors that describe their pet as fun, playful and gentle, accused OC Animal Care officials of being overzealous. They also said OC Animal Care investigators ignored key statements from Elmore, who said she was responsible for accidentally provoking the dog.
OC Animal Care countered by saying that Tank satisfies the definition of a "vicious dog" as defined by a county ordinance, according to court documents.
Drabek said he can't discuss specific cases. But he did say OC Animal Care "errs on the side of caution" in the interest of public safety when considering whether to deem a dog vicious or potentially dangerous.
But the Willises say context is key and that the blanket response by the county isn't fair.

It clearly showed that torture softened him up. When they were doing the traditional interrogation right after they tortured him, he figured out that they were lying to him (about giving up information during the torture sessions) and started to not answer, but they threatened him "do you want to get tortured again?" The answer was no and he started to comply.
The film dramatized the torture but was still excellent overall. The CIA was more systematic and clinical with their torture. They would always ask the subjects control questions, and those that didn't comply would be tortured until they induced a state of compliance. Then they would start asking for the real information with traditional techniques. The name for bin Ladin's courier really did come out of one of the people who was tortured.
Being systematic and clinical are crucial to the efficacy of torture. If you are just trying to pin something on someone, and want to torture someone for the answer you want to hear, it'll end in disaster. We sent an Al-Qaeda leader to Egypt to be tortured more harshly and that was where the "Saddam is linked with al-qaeda and is helping to get WMD's for them" justification came from. I don't think you can blame the tactic of torture, in and of itself, for this failure, rather I'd blame the desire that existed to pin something on Saddam and the inappropriate application of the tactic.
What a barbaric, inhuman, and unconscionable post. Disgusting. To think that we can so dehumanize torture into being "systematic and clinical" ... that such robotic efficiency is what justifies and validates the act.
Then again, this is from someone posting the defense of a character who executed children, so ...
To call the post what you did is gratuitous. I merely added what I felt were appropriate descriptions of how the CIA actually carried out the program, contrary to what is being portrayed in Zero Dark Thirty and other media. Being "systematic and clinical" in one's approach can be the difference between success and failure in many endeavors.
Being sufficiently "systematic and clinical" in one's procedure can be the difference between success and failure of a drug during clinical trials. In fact, sometimes a drug is rejected based on the trial being insufficiently systematic and clinical, leading to poor results. Once the procedure is corrected by the investigators, and the trial redone, the drug is approved and can go on to save lives. The drug isn't the variable that has changed.
I should also note that the EIT/torture program run by the CIA has saved lives and led to the name of bin Ladin's courier. This is acknowledged by national security officials of both major parties.
The only thing amiss with my post is that I should have added "delusional" to the description of yours.

Although the recipes may vary from place to place, the bottom line with ranch-style eggs is that they are delicious for a hearty breakfast or a brunch served with refried beans and hash browned potatoes.
Turtle, or black beans, have always been a favorite in both Central and South America and have been gaining in popularity in the country. These are also the beans that the Chinese ferment for their black bean sauce. This is a great recipe to serve your vegetarian friends and is so tasty you won't even miss the meat.
These little explosions make perfect appetizers for chilehead guests.
Albuquerque-area resident and vegetarian cookbook author Nanette Blanchard has self-published a booklet of her favorite southwestern plant-based recipes. Fiesta Vegan: 30 Delicious Recipes from New Mexico contains her take on traditional recipes such as Posole, Calabacitas, Sangria, and Capirotada. Each of the recipes includes a color photo and a nutritional analysis. Fiesta Vegan also offers a list of online sources for specialty ingredients and recommendations for New Mexico stops for food-lovers. The 40 page booklet is available either in print or as a .PDF download. You can also find a Kindle version without photos; information on all the booklet versions is on her web site here. Blanchard also maintains a food blog, Cooking in Color.
If you can't find prepared tostada shells you can simply serve this recipe on top of your favorite brand of tortilla chips. The Spicy Chile Sauce is also a great accompaniment to your favorite scrambled tofu recipe.
