And the Winners Are...
And the Winners Are......
1st: Chuck,mate
2nd: Paweu
3rd: Rosatron
Well done all!
Please note: 2nd place was actually a tie between 3 people! This has never happened before, and I had to pick 3 top winners, so what I did was look for the person who had the most first place votes, who was Paweu. Rosatron and 28thWing both had the same number of 1st place votes, and so I looked for the one who had the most 2nd place votes, who was Rosatron. I hope that explains it!
And congrats to all the following who will also have their work featured in the November issue of 2DArtist magazine:
4th: 28thWing
5th: Gnahz
6th: Sawa
7th: Marcuswelbey
Well done!
Remember: We can publish an email address or a website with each of the top voted for images in 2DArtist Magazine. Please contact me - email@example.com - with the following info to make sure you get your web/email address featured in the magazine with your image, and to also make sure you get your free issue!

Level of DifficultyReally easy
Time to do repairLess than 15 mins
Age of ApplianceMore than 10 years
PliersScrew drivers
Very easy. Disconnect power to the dishwasher via a breaker or fuse. Open the door and remove just the 4 screws on the inside lip of the door. Do not remove the screws hoding the closing brackets. Remove the front glass and chrome panel between the control panel and the kick panel. This will give you access to the soap cup and bi-metal. Remove the one retaining screw and remove the bi-metal,taking note of the position of the wires. Remove the wires, by grasping the connectors (I used needle nose pliers for this), not the wires, and re-intsall them on the new bi-metal. Re-install bi-metal on soap cup assembly, "cock" the release lever by closing the soap cup cover and manually trip the bi-metal to make sure it will release the lever and open the cover. Re-install the front panel with screws. Restore power and test appliance.

3.0 . . . Anyone?
I'm a 3.0 player and I use relatively heavy racquets. I've been working on my serve, which I'm hitting pretty solid now. More recently, I have switched my ground stroke grips and I am hitting a really solid TS forhand. My backhand still needs another grip change.
The problem I've noticed is that my power was already above 3.0 level with an eastern forhand and two handed backhand. My regular partner is at least 3.5 and he always beats me. I'm wondering if I continue to work on my strokes will it seperate me further from the 3.0 sector, and if perhaps I should slow down on technique improvement and spend more time playing other 3.0s? There isn't much of a tennis culture here in Boston, so most of the time I find myself grinding on skills, which is fun in itself, but maybe counter productive.
Improve as fast as you can. When you consistently beat your 3.5 friend 6-0, 6-0, then you can slow down the improvement.
Working on skills is great, fun, and continue to do it.
Also, play matches and use the skills under pressure.
I wish I was completely satisfied.
Good Luck!
Ditch the poly strings if you are a 3.0. You don't need them and it will be easier to learn with syn gut.
Syn gut is the best string to get good at tennis with. It is cheap and honest.
Keep playing the guy who beats you. I keep playing guys who beat me, and find that I can now beat them sometimes where in the beginning I would never win.
Thanks for the reply. I agree with you that a 3.0 player shouldn't be using poly. But my strokes are more advanced than my level. I'm using more advanced strokes in a 3.0 game, when the ball isn't going right by me. I would be playing with other 3.0s if I thought they wouldn't be put off by the pace I hit with. So the poly strings are well matched for the strokes I'm learning.
I really do appreciate your advice. Please bounce it back to me one more time, in light of what I just said. I am not heavily invested in poly at this time and I do like Dunlop S-gut as an optional way to go. I also have most of a reel of Spiral Flex that I could use.
In return for your advice, I will lay a speck of wisdom on you:
A quick shortcut to satisfaction is goal modification (or self acceptance.)
I really do not understand what you are saying.. you are playing above your own level because your ground strokes are too fast?
It sounds like you are a 3.0 trying to punish the ball but your footwork and timing are lagging behind. Can you clarify that for me mate? :)
My game is 3.0, I do very well playing with other 3.0s. The ball moves nice and slow. I really don't want to tee people off by playing at that level with too much power. And I'm not skilled enough to dial down my game. I would be sporadic at best.
Just hit your best normal shots and water will seek it's own level immediately.
Why slow down on technique improvement? That doesn't make any sense to me. Practice with better players, grind on skills, join a league[*], and play matches at your competitive level. As you improve and win more matches, your rating will go up and you can compete in league play against ever higher rated players.
My excuse ( :) ) for being a 3.0 competitor with 3.0 + strokes is that I'm typically twice as old as the people I play against, as well as being relatively inexperienced re total court time in my life. I've been sidelined for the past two weeks with a Crohn's disease flareup, but was improving before that, and I hope to continue to improve when I'm able to get back on the court again. I have no problem with bageling 3.0s and will continue to work toward being able to do that on a regular basis. :)
[*] I'm a member of Tennis Fort Lauderdale (tennisftlauderdale.com) which is affiliated with Tennis League Network (TLN). TLN began in Boston about 8 years ago and is now in several dozen metro areas. Check out Tennis Boston (tennisnortheast.com).
If you are a 3.0, be the best 3.0. I don't think your strokes are that advanced or you would be rated higher. There is a lot more to a stroke then just being able to hit it when you get a perfect ball. You need to be able to hit off balance, on the run, backed up..etc to have advanced strokes. So just go out and play tennis and win matches. Don't worry about the other person's feelings and develop a winning mentality.
1. When playing other 3.0s focus on strategy, anticipation, and movement. These are the skills that provide higher level players with the time needed to hit well in their faster paced games. Study and apply the Wardlaw directionals...you'll be amazed at how helpful they are. Develop the discipline to follow these strategies so you don't bring bad shot selection habits into higher level games. 2.5/3.0 is trying to get the ball over the net. 3.5/4.0 you start thinking about your shot selection and developing the ability to actually do it.
2. When playing with other 3.0s also focus on placement rather than power to support your goals in item 1. All thrust and no vector in 3.5/4.0 will make you an easy mark. You'll be a puppet in the hands of thinking players unless you can hit with power AND intelligent shot selection. When you can be the puppeteer at 3.0 you'll begin to make the transition to higher levels.
3. When playing with higher level friends pay attention to the above to increase the time you have but also focus on "seeing the ball big". For example, I have some higher level friends that let me return serve when they practice serves. That's been VERY helpful in "slowing down the ball" for me even in fast paced exchanges. Playing 3.0s exclusively won't help you see the ball better. You MUST play with players who hit with pace to develop the timing need for your strokes. Item 1 above will give you a larger margin for error in timing. Another example: my wife has said hitting with me has been a tremendous help hitting with woman since they don't hit with nearly as much pace given her level. After hitting with me she said that she feels like she has all the time in the world in her matches.
Again, I can't stress enough how important it is to study shot selection. Not only will it improve your time available it also improves your strokes, even at 3.0. Instead if feeling frantically rushed with sloppy strokes you'll find more time to prepare well and hit smoothly, with confidence. Focusing on strokes and even footwork without shot selection is a huge mistake imo since they're so intertwined.
I know that tennis is traditionally taught starting purely with strokes but as a relative noob (two years this past fall) I strongly feel that's a HUGE mistake and wish I had been taught differently. It's like teaching folks how to play football or baseball with zero reference to the field and opponents. "Here's how you throw and catch a football. Now, go play football". "Here's how you hit a tennis ball, now go play tennis". Makes no sense.
The thing is, deciding where to hit the ball isn't that hard and making the right choice, once taught, MAKES IT EASIER TO HIT THE BALL WELL! :D Making easier shots builds confidence and reduces frustration but teaching pros almost never address that with new players. And just as strokes can be introduced with varying levels of complexity so to can shot selection.
Tom, hope you get back to the court soon.
I joined the same league as you and just had my first match, it was amazing. The only thing I am not sure is the players rating comparing to USTA rating, the league has players ranging from 3.0 to 4.5, don't know how they calculated that, and not sure if the ratings are accurate USTA ratings.
I hope your Crohn's gets better soon.
Thanks again for your thoughtful reply.
Re the comparison of TLN ratings to USTA ratings. Hard to tell, since I've never played USTA. I feel sure that some of the TLN people would be rated a half point lower or so in the USTA. Some others (like me) I think would be about the same, and still others maybe a little higher. Anyway, the TLN ratings seem to be relatively accurate for the TLN leagues they're associated with.
If you win a majority of your matches this season (against similarly or higher rated opponents), then your rating will undoubtedly be increased, whereas with USTA my understanding is that this might not happen re your results in a two month period.
I see you played Tanaka and that the match was fairly competitive. Fantastic! From the score it looks like you were getting stronger as the match progressed. There's some vid of my latest match with him on my YouTube channel, 388mg.
(If you want any scouting tips, email me.)
Best wishes. Hope you make the playoffs and are a contender for the Winter Season championship.
Too bad, I think you'd enjoy it. The founder and chief league administrator is in your area. One of the coolest things about it is that they have an open, year-end tournament at Crandon Park in Miami every Nov.
Best of luck in finding a league this spring.
By the way, I apologize for the off topic sidebar to tennisfan2k, but he's in my area, and now in my league. We'll probably play our first match at courts that are between his home courts and mine, about 20 miles from my house.
One other thing. When I mentioned that I have no problem bageling 3.0s that doesn't mean that I normally bagel 3.0s (I don't) but rather that I don't care if it hurts their feelings or whatever. I get bageled more than I bagel. It's part of the game to use bad losses for motivation to improve.
Thanks. My goal is first to secure the playoff spot, then challenge the 4.0+ guys. You have been progressing steadily, based on your match scores. Hope you will be back soon.
This morning I signed up for a 3.0 to 3.5 clinic at some indoor courts, the next town over. It will last 8 weeks, 1 session per week. I've been hovering at 3.0 for a long time. Maybe by the end of the summer I'll be a solid 3.5; that would be nice.
IMO, the one and only goal in tennis is to keep the ball in play. If you can't hit it within the lines of the court, you can't win. It doesn't matter if you hit with a ton of TS, or if you have 65 mph groundies if they don't land within the court.

From the Publisher"An excellent introduction."
Paul F. Diehl, Choice
"Understanding Peacekeeping is very well suited as a core text for any course or module on peacekeeping because it evaluates the changing characteristics of the contemporary environment in which peacekeepers operate, what role peacekeeping plays in wider processes of global politics, the growing impact of non-state actors, and the major challenges facing peacekeepers in the future. It should be essential reading for all students and scholars of peace and conflict studies, security studies, and international relations".
Cedric de Coning, Conflict Trends
"Understanding Peacekeeping will make a fine textbook and reference work ... This is a thoroughly researched and well-presented book, which fills an important gap through its comprehensive analysis of peacekeeping and the clear link the authors establish between peacekeeping and wider trends in global politics."
Bastian Giegerich, Mediterranean Politics
"A valuable book. The authors have made an especially useful contribution in making understandable the extent and complexity of UN peacekeeping operations of all types in today's global environment and in explaining just why these operations have sometimes succeeded and almost as often failed."
James S. Sutterlin, Political Science Quarterly
"One of the strengths of the book lies in its awareness that the conceptualization of peacekeeping, while important, will always run up against the messiness of actual experience ... a well-written, thoroughly prepared and convincingly argued book."
Norrie MacQueen, African Affairs
'Students of Peacekeeping will welcome this book for its full and systematic coverage, combining detailed assessments of particular missions with a keen sense of the changing international context in which these took place'
Sir Lawrence Freeman, Professor of War Studies and Vice-Principal (Research), Kings College London
'Understanding Peacekeeping provides a thorough and comprehensive overview of the origins and evolution of international peacekeeping, drawing on a wide range of contemporary examples. It will be an excellent resource, either as a reference book or for use in graduate level college courses.'
Professor David.F.Davis, Director, Peace Operations Policy Program, George Mason University

From Our Editors
Under the Southern French tutelage of head chef and owner Philippe Verpiand, risottos dance around seared duck, roasted fish, and veal on the menu. Inaugurate a gourmet dinner with savory pommes frites in truffle oil and Parmesan ($6) or seared duck foie gras with pineapple and red-bell-pepper chutney ($19). (Verpiand's foie gras, a cold variety made by poaching, won a prestigious cooking competition in 2005.) The San Diego Union-Tribune recommends Cavaillon's risotto ($21 for English peas, beech mushrooms, and asparagus; $26 for seared scallops, red beet, and pickled butternut squash), which is "quite rich, but then those amazing flavors entice you to take another taste." Other tastes include pan-roasted beef tenderloin in a red-wine demi-glace with crisp potatoes fondant ($29) and roasted Atlantic salmon served with peppers confit, gnocchi, and a broth of herbs ($22). Afterward, douse taste buds in decadent desserts, such as a $7 trio de cr?me br?l?e.

Bullpen fails Tigers in 8-6 loss to Blue Jays
APR 10, 2013 7:21p ET
Pitchers were getting hit -- literally. Those that weren't couldn't seem to find the plate.
Toronto starter Mark Buehrle was hit on the foot on a double-play ball by Alex Avila in the second inning, but remained in the game.
Detroit reliever Darin Downs managed to duck out of the way of a come-backer off the bat of Melky Cabrera in the seventh inning. Downs was nearly killed on a similar play in the minor leagues.
"You can't (think about it)," Downs said. "... It's happened many times. It's nothing big. I've been hit, too, hit in the leg."
Toronto reliever Darren Oliver, 42, took a shot off the arm on a ball hit by Austin Jackson but stayed in to pitch the eighth.
Most cringe-worthy was Octavio Dotel, who got the final two outs of the seventh and came back out for the eighth. Emilio Bonifacio greeted him with a shot that hit Dotel where no man wants to be hit.
Amazingly, Dotel got the out at first before collapsing to the ground. He then regrouped and finished the inning.
Downs allowed a couple of inherited runners to score, which made a 6-2 Tigers lead a 6-4 Tigers lead in the sixth.
They were fine until Brayan Villarreal came in with a runner on and one out in the seventh. Villarreal got ahead of Jose Bautista, Edwin Encarnacion and Mark DeRosa, but ended up walking all three. DeRosa's walk scored a run.
"Villarreal threw a nasty pitch for strike one and couldn't throw another strike after that," Leyland said. "You got a guy throwing 95-96, with a good slider, if he throws the ball over the plate, you feel pretty comfortable about that.
"... He's obviously had a tough time throwing the ball across the plate, and that's the one thing you've got to be able to do."
J.P. Arencibia then got to Dotel for a bases-clearing double and the 6-5 lead was gone.
"He gave up the hit, but that's a tough situation for anybody to come into," Leyland said. "I thought he settled in and pitched well.
"I'm not worried about him, he's a veteran that'll get going."
Villarreal, whose ERA went from 33.75 to 54.00, said all three were walked on fastballs.
"I was out of control (Wednesday)," Villarreal said. "I was trying to throw strikes and I couldn't. I don't know what's going on.
"It's something I have to work on with my mechanics or something."
Villarreal speculated that he might be pulling his shoulder when he pitches, but said he'd have to look at some video with pitching coach Jeff Jones.
"I know, last year, he struggled a little bit early on, then came out and threw really well for us," catcher Alex Avila said. "I mean, it wasn't great baseball conditions out there, either, to throw.
"I think he just needs to keep working at it."
The good bullpen news is, Phil Coke came in and threw a perfect ninth, including getting right-handers DeRosa and Arencibia out.
"He was hitting his spots, using all his pitches, threw well," Avila said. "Looked like he got a little bit of his swagger back."
The Tigers are going to need that swagger from everyone in the bullpen, especially with the closer-by-committee situation still in effect.
They're scoring plenty of runs. Now they just have to stop the other team from scoring late in the game.
"We had a 6-1 lead and we let it get away," Leyland said. "

RIP Ronnie Montrose
He started out in Sawbuck, played with other bands, including Edgar Winter Group then launched his own band, Montrose. After Montrose, he formed Gamma, and revealed on tour in 2009 that he had successfully beat prostate cancer. Alas, prostate cancer came back with a vengeance and took Ronnie out on March 3rd, 2012. Get on your bad motor scooter and ride, Ronnie.

Once upon a time, Van Morrison had a record contract with Bing Records which he wanted to escape. Since the contract required him to produce thirty-six original songs, Van Morrison sat in the studio for a single session and recorded a series of nonsensical non-tunes that are still in his distinctive style. Three of them are available here.

Housekeeping burst in to my room without knocking, thinking that I had checked out when I wasn't due to leave until the following day. Hotel is located on a really quiet street, and is about a 10 minute walk to main sightseeing attractions. I did have a feeling that my bedding wasn't overly clean, though. And, you are fined for eating in your room. Overall, the staff was really helpful and I didn't have any real problems. "

Spanish Word of the Day Archive
Sunday August 15, 2010
facilitar, verb:
to make easier; to facilitate
Facilitar has an English equivalent which looks the same — to facilitate —but which often sounds more formal and longwinded than the Spanish. Facilitar comes from fácil, easy, and often the best translation is to make ... easier. Remember that unlike English, the stress is often on the second letter i, as shown by a capital letter in the examples below.
Una computadora facilIta mucho el trabajo.
A computer makes work much easier.
Internet facilIta el acceso a la información.
Internet makes it easier to get hold of information.
In official language, of course, to facilitate is a suitable translation for facilitar.
un plan para facilitar el desarrollo de una política coordinada del empleo
a plan to facilitate the development of a co-ordinated employment policy

WordLens is one of those borderline-magical apps that make me feel like I'm living in a scifi novel. The initial release was a little buggy, and the UI made it clear the app was a direct port from iOS. The 2.0 update just dropped, though, and it takes care of a lot of those issues.
If you've never heard of WordLens, here's the deal: hold your phone up to a sign or some other thing with words on it, and WordLens uses your camera to translate those words to another language of your choosing in real time.Read More

BUG - Repeatedly one-shotted by High-Yield
When doing the cardassian mission where you have to destroy the True Way fleet along with a dozens tarfleet ships, I was one-shotted by a high-yield from a Cardassian cruiser right after respawning. Full shields, full hull strength. I see 4 torps coming at me, my shields shredded after the first one, and the other 3 killed me. This was with full Aegis gear at VA. I aso have to add, that when I launch high-yield III torpedos at a ship with full shields, it barely touches their shields, let alone their hull.:confused:
Having your hull killed by 3 High-Yield torps once your shields are down is not abnormal, but having your shields demolished by just one of them certainly is. My previous experience is that it has taken about three High-Yield Plasma torps to completely remove a shield quadrant (and when a D'deridex battle cruiser unloads its full complement of them at you, it often WILL kill you if you have no heal or resistance skills ready to use).

A slew of economic indicators pointed to firmer business activity -- something that also should help reinforce a faster pace of growth by easing Americans' job fears and putting more cash in consumer wallets.
The Labor Department said first-time claims for state unemployment benefits dropped 11,000 to 351,000 in the week ended Nov. 22 -- the lowest since January 2001, before the economy slipped into recession.
Separately, the Commerce Department said new orders for costly and long-lasting manufactured goods climbed 3.3 percent to a seasonally adjusted $184.53 billion -- far ahead of Wall Street economists' forecasts for a 0.8 percent gain.
The jump in October orders was the largest since an 8.1 percent surge in July 2002, and fit with other signs that businesses were picking up the pace on investment amid evidence the broader economy is strengthening.
A key category called non-defense capital goods orders excluding aircraft, taken by economists as a proxy for business expansion plans, rose 1.7 percent last month on top of a 5.8 percent September increase.
"The rise in non-defense goods orders is telling us that firms are really beginning to open up their purse strings when it comes to capital spending," said economist Eric Green of BNP Paribas in New York.
The improving job market is helping buoy consumer spirits, a survey issued by the University of Michigan to paying customers indicated. Its index of consumer sentiment for November rose to 93.7 from an October reading of 89.6, market sources said.
That came after another report on Monday from the Conference Board, a private research group, that showed consumers' mood improved strongly in November as its index jumped to highs not seen since Sept. 2002.
The National Association of Purchasing Management-Chicago said on Wednesday that business activity in the Midwest surged this month as its business barometer rose to 64.1 from 55 in October -- its highest in nine years.
A third report on Wednesday from the Commerce Department showed consumers, who spent heavily on new cars and other goods earlier this year as Bush administration tax cuts took hold, were growing more restrained.
Personal spending was unchanged last month after dropping 0.3 percent in September, a weaker performance than anticipated by economists, who had forecast a 0.1 percent pickup.
The slack in spending was concentrated in the auto industry and may partly reflect the waning impact of the tax cuts.
But it was not a promising sign ahead of the vital Thanksgiving-to-Christmas shopping season when many merchants count on making as much as 70 percent of their annual sales.

Dresses go flouncy, slinky at London Fashion Week
The gatherings reflect the importance of London fashion. A new report by consultancy Oxford Economics, commissioned by the British Fashion Council, said fashion is Britain's 15th largest industry, employing more than 800,000 people and contributing 21 billion pounds ($33 billion) a year to the economy.
London Fashion Week, according to the council, generates orders worth around 100 million pounds ($156 million).
Caroline Charles turned back the clock when she unveiled her spring and summer collection.
Her 1950s-style floral prints in silk and other fabrics were worn by models with their hair in tight buns and lips in bright red lipstick to capture the glamor of that era. Some of the evening wear used sequins and beads to dazzling effect.
The final long, swirling dress she presented was the most dramatic, suggesting cocktail parties and late night soirees. A pale leopard skin print dress with black gloves and a narrow black belt also caught the eye.
Many outfits included matching or contrasting gloves, some extending above the elbow, others cut very short. One floral dress had aqua colored gloves, and a retro black jacket was offset by long red gloves.
The collection also included Capri pants and boxy jackets.
Bora Aksu broke out the ruffles, frills, bows and drapery in a "more is more" avalanche of chiffon, mesh, brocade and satin. The palette was muted with rich grays, navy and black, which was highlighted with sparkling metallics and a splash of raspberry red.
A loose sequin necktie and a bow tie were the only masculine part of a collection made up mostly of mini-dresses and skirts.
"The collection had a new age feel about it. The graphic leggings and the patterns reminded me of a spaceship," said Kimberly Mansfield of Lushique.com.
Maria Grachvogel's spring and summer collection was a minimalist celebration, with long, unadorned dresses and models wearing naturally styled hair and very little makeup.
The pared-down silhouette had a fresh look as Grachvogel experimented with silver crepe catsuits and vivid prints. Some dresses in unusual colors like canary yellow and pale silver gave the collection a faraway feel set off by the jungle drums prominent on the soundtrack.
Many of the evening wear pieces were cut from a single piece of fabric that draped naturally over the body with a minimum of seams and decoration for deceptively simple, sensual look.
Australian design duo Sass & Bide presented a collection in which earthy tones of khaki and cream were infused with copper and clashing metallics. Patterns featured prominently, with some outfits resembling a dripping artist's canvas. One of the most winning looks was a printed balloon style skirt teamed with a striped top and sky high heels.
There was no lack of dramatic details: Hammered metal body harnesses and beaded shoulder details conjured images of Joan of Arc, while stiff collars made of raffia reminded viewers of Elizabeth the First. The female warrior was clearly a theme here, as in Jena.Theo's show earlier Friday.

My girls love this filled with lettuce or spinach - anything left over from the summer salad veg plot. Just wish it was bigger - it gets emptied too quickly!
This keeps my 5 chickens occupied for ages. In fact they like it so much I intend to order another one.
Basically, fun to put in broccoli stalks etc and hang it higher so they have to make an effort to reach up. But not essential by any means. The vet told me that 'toys' are mostly useless - make your own with old toilet rolls, flower pots, etc she said!
Keeps the girls amused, stuffed full of leaves and grapes they really enjoy this one.
This item was much smaller than I had expected - size of a tennis ball - tricky to get stuff inside. Could do witrh a longer chain so it could be suspended from roof of run and, therefore, easier to reach. Bambi Bunny has shown a bit of interest in it.

Pacquiao too strong, quick for sparmate
MANILA, Philippines — After three sparring sessions with Manny Pacquiao, Lydell Rhodes feels the $1,500 incentive offered by chief trainer Freddie Roach if he could knock down the Filipino ring icon is beyond reach.
Pacquiao has proven to be too strong and too fast for Rhodes, who needs to sneak in a power punch that could probably bring the Fighter of the Decade down to his knees.
Had the world's only eight-division champion wanted it, Pacquiao could have easily knocked down Rhodes.
The disparity in skills was obvious in their third sparring session that lasted six rounds Saturday at Pacquiao's Wild Card Gym in General Santos City.
Each time Rhodes went on attack mode, Pacquiao would just spun around and leave the unbeaten American (19-0, 9 KOs) in an awkward stance and open for a crunching shot.
Pacquiao, however, would allow Rhodes to regain his balance before the Sarangani representative resumed his sparring session in preparation for his grudge rematch with Timothy Bradley on April 12 at MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Assistant trainer Nonoy Neri, who doubles as Pacquiao's personal cook, noted that Rhodes also packs a wallop.
The coaching staff that also includes assistant trainer Buboy Fernandez is focusing on further honing Pacquiao's left uppercut for the 12-round bout with Bradley, who wrested Pacquiao's WBO welterweight crown via a widely criticized split decision in late 2012.
In their first sparring session that went four rounds Tuesday, Pacquiao bloodied the nose of Rhodes, who's is as tall and as bulky as the 5-foot-6 Bradley.
Pacquiao and Rhodes did five rounds last Thursday.
To keep Pacquiao from hitting peak form early, the next sparring session on Tuesday will also be for six rounds.
Team Pacquiao will leave for the United States on Saturday for the second and tougher phase of training camp at Roach's Wild Card Gym in Hollywood.
There, Pacquiao will have new top-caliber sparring partners in Kendall Hoyt and Steve Formes.
Michael Koncz, Pacquiao's adviser, has contacted the former world champions to simulate Bradley's fighting style.

Jose Bautista had only three hits in his first eight exhibition games for the Toronto Blue Jays. On Saturday, he looked more like his normal star self. Bautista hit a two-run homer, doubled and scored twice for the Blue Jays in a 4-2 victory over the Detroit Tigers. In the first inning, Bautista drove a cut fastball by Doug Fister over the left-field wall for a two-run homer, his third shot of the spring. Moments later, the right fielder made a throw that first baseman Adam Lind relayed to cut down Alex Avila at the plate. Bautista doubled in his next at-bat, and the Blue Jays chased Fister with two more runs before the right-hander could record an out in the fourth. ''It's been rough this spring, but trying to get things back into fine tune is where we're at right now,'' said Fister, whose 11.57 ERA through three exhibition outings is no match for his 3.48 career mark. Fister found some consolation in his five strikeouts. ''We had talked and said, `Hey, we're going to really...

POMEROY — Plans for Pomeroy's downtown observance of Halloween on Oct. 31, and for decorating the village for the Christmas holidays, along with electing a new president, were highlights of the Tuesday meeting of the Pomeroy Merchants Association held at Peoples Bank.
Luke Ortman, director of the Meigs County Chamber of Commerce, reported on plans for the village Halloween party. He said that registration of children will take place in the Court Street mini park and that the children will be taken though the downtown area in groups where treats will be given out by the merchants. Appropriate music for the season will be played and a photographer will be on hand to take pictures of costumed children. Fire trucks will be stationed at either end of the trick or treat area which is where there will be sidewalk displays of merchandise for sale and fun activities like a pumpkin decorating contest will be taking place. The parking lot will be open for parking cars.
President Dan Short reported that new lights and garlands for use in decorating the downtown period light posts for Christmas have been purchased by the association. Since the downtown businesses will be observing holiday open houses the week of Nov. 4, arrangements were made to do the decorating on that day. Volunteers from schools are expected to be used and will meet at 9 a.m. on Nov. 4 at Peoples Bank. The work will be done under the supervision of Dan Short, president.
As for the parking lot stage and the two gazebos, the churches will again this year be asked to decorate them in the holiday theme.
Toney Dingess will again this year be in charge of the Christmas parade which will take place at 2 p.m. on Sunday Dec. 1, which is the Sunday after Thanksgiving. Tina Rees, branch manager of Peoples Bank, volunteered to arrange for Santa to be present to greet the children following the parade.
The question of freeing the parking meters for the holiday season and the advantage or not to merchants was discussed. Ed Zatta of Swisher-Lohse Drugs contended it was a disadvantage to his business because of all-day parking by downtown workers leaving no open spaces for customers.
The candy, cookie and crafts contests will again be staged this year with the candy contest to take place on Dec. 7 at Peoples Bank, the cookie contest at the Meigs Branch of the Ohio Valley Bank in Foodland on the 14th, and the contest for crafts at Farmers Bank on Dec. 21. Winners in each contest will be given a $50 prize by the host bank with a second place prize of the bank's choice being awarded. Again this year the children will be taken on a shopping tour of the village.
Ortman also announced that on Oct. 26 the National Honor Society of Meigs High School will be having a haunted walk on the cross country trail as a fund raiser for the organization. He also noted that Chamber of Commerce recognition dinner will be held on Nov. 7 at the Family Life Center in Middleport.
Short announced the Oct. 19 Christian concert by Big Daddy Weave and other musicians to be held on the Pomeroy parking lot. The expectation is that people will be coming in from around the state. Free food will be available to those attending.
Following Short's announcement that he could not serve as president for another year, Ed Zatta of Swisher and Lohse was elected to the lead position.

VH1 + SCOPE are coming together and celebrating ART + MUSIC + BEACH at Art Basel Miami next week. We spoke to hip hop artist, Kasseem "Swizz Beatz" Dean and artist, Hebru Brantley who explained the close relationship between music and art. We've decided to explore this relationship a little further by looking at some of pop culture's biggest music artists and their music videos that were inspired by famous artists.
1. Rihanna, "Rude Boy" (2009)
When Rihanna's "Rude Boy" music video first hit the scene the video was immediately compared to M.I.A.'s, "Boyz." It's hard not to see the visual similarities between the two videos, but putting controversy aside for a moment, we can also see the video's nod to Keith Haring and the pop-art world.

This is a lovely cafe with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff, good coffee and an excellent Scottish breakfast. It's also very good value. Highly recommended.
What a great cafe to find near the Glen Nevis Campsite. A good pot of tea and a pulled pork burger on a brioche bun for me and a lager and goat's cheese salad for him were just the ticket after our morning's walk. Loved watching the baby swallows being fed by their parents and encouraged to leave the nest...
the staff are friendly. Good healthy portions served freshly made. The cafe was clean and airy looks better after its revamp. The soup was hot and tasty and the sandwiches freshly prepared.
A lovely cosy cafe with a great view of Ben Nevis. The menu wasn't large but it was still difficult to choose as looking at what the other diners had made it difficult as it all looked lovely and all very well presented. I chose the full Scottish Breakfast and it was excellent. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly....
I wrote a review last year for this café as I enjoyed many visits.
This year in March 2014 I returned to my season pitch in the Glen to find the café has changed hands, new staff, new decor and new menu a wonderful selection of cake and best of all a new coffee machine!
This is a really pleasant...
Excellent food,
Staff friendly and helpful.
Great location,Have seats outside so can have lunch out and enjoy the views
We stopped at this cafe on our way through the Ben Nevis region. It was clean and the staff was friendly. I was able to get a vegetarian meal which can be a challenge in rural areas. It was quaint and comfortable for a casual bite to eat.
Great food, excellent service and free wifi. Really nice surroundings and nice views. Eaten here over 5 times now - each time exceptional.
Went here after walking in Glen Nevis and it fitted the bill perfectly. Friendly service, tasty food, cosy cafe in a gorgeous location. Plenty of parking.
Hi there, just a quick note to say thank you for your review of Cafe Beag. We are so pleased you enjoyed your visit (both to the Cafe and the Glen). Hope to see you up here again soon.
Happy TripAdvising!
friendly little cafe on Glen Nevis road, with views over Ben Nevis itself if the weather permits.
Greeted by a very friendly girl. Soup was out of this world, (pea and ham).Sandwiches were a meal and a half.
Hi Michael,
Thank you very much for your positive review of our Cafe. We're so pleased you enjoyed your visit - the pea and ham soup is a particular favourite of mine too! Hopefully see you again should your travels bring you back up to Scotland.

He did it because he wanted to impress a girl who was also going on the trip. When he learned how strenuous the trip would be, because he didn't want to weenie out in front of the girl, he started working out.

Although the GRE is becoming a more popular alternative for students looking to apply to business school, the GMAT remains the dominant standardized test in the field. The test consists of three sections: the Analytical Writing Assessment and the Quantitative and Verbal sections, in that order. The last two sections are presented to you in a computer-adaptive format, and the questions vary by test-taker because they automatically adjust to your level of ability. Because of this format, you're not able to skip around or return to a question that gave you trouble initially. Your test will be scored based on not only your correct answers, but how difficult the questions were that you did answer correctly. Sound confusing? It's really not. This scoring method allows you to see where you rank in terms of all the other examinees.
When you receive your score, you'll see a total figure ranging from 200 to 800. About two-thirds of those who take the test score between 400 to 600, but to get an idea on what the top schools in the country like to see, the median GMAT score at Harvard University is 720; the median GMAT score at Yale University is 710. Below, we give you more information on the sections you'll see on the GMAT so that you can be competitive come exam day.
You'll have an hour to complete each writing task on this section of the exam, with half an hour dedicated to each. One assessment will ask you to analyze an issue, the other to analyze an argument. You won't be asked to provide a right or a wrong answer. Instead, you'll be judged on how you developed a position on an issue in the first section, and how successful you were in your critique of the argument presented to you in the second section.
You'll have 75 minutes to answer 37 multiple-choice questions in this section. There will be two question "types" on this part of the exam—Data Sufficiency and Problem Solving. Yes, you'll be expected to know some math for the test. Business has a lot to do with numbers, after all. This section will require knowledge of basic algebra and geometry, and will measure how well you apply that knowledge to not only solve problems, but analyze those problems.
You'll have 75 minutes to answer 41 multiple-choice questions in this section. There will be three question "types" on this part of the exam—Reading Comprehension, Critical Reasoning and Sentence Correction. The comprehension questions will be based on passages of up to 350 words on a wide variety of topics. Your critical reasoning will be measured by questions that ask you about the structure of arguments and the effectiveness of a described plan of action, among other scenarios. The sentence correction questions will test your style and grammar skills.
Although you'll get a cumulative score, you'll also see how well you did in each section. The Verbal and Quantitative sections are scored between 0 and 60. The Analytical Writing Assessment is an average of two ratings from the essay scorers, and scores on this section will range from 0 to 6, with half-points possible. If you weren't able to finish a section in the time allotted but decided not to cancel your scores, you'll still get scored on that section. Your scores may not be too high, though, as the number of questions you answer per section factors into your final score. For more information on the kinds of questions you'll be expected to answer in each section, take a look at the sample questions found at the links below.

Cotchery finished the season with 82 receptions, 1,130 yards, two touchdowns and had a 13.8 yards-per-catch average; all team highs.

3-page deal ends strike at Laguna soda bottling plant
SAN PEDRO, Laguna—The three-day workers' strike at the bottling plant of Coca-cola in Sta. Rosa City, Laguna, ended peacefully with an amicable settlement between the workers' union and the company.
The workers ended the strike around 7 p.m. on Wednesday and removed the barricades that blocked four gates of the bottling plant in Barangay Pulong Sta. Cruz since Monday.
Joyce Rosales, deputy secretary general of the labor union alliance Pagkakaisa ng Manggagawa sa Timog Katagalugan-Kilusang Mayo Uno (Pamantik-KMU), said the strike ended after a meeting between representatives of Coca-Cola Bottlers Philippines Inc. (CCBPI) and the officers of the Unyon ng mga Manggagawang Driver, Forklift Operator, at Picker-CCBPI –Independent (UMDFP-CCBPI-IND).
Rosales said the two sides signed a three-page agreement that ended the strike.
Under the agreement, 430 union members would be hired as regular employees and be entitled to full benefits.
The union had complained of unfair labor practices and contractualization.
Yesterday morning, at least 300 union members, mostly truck drivers and forklift operators, held a victory march around Sta. Rosa City.
The Sta. Rosa bottling plant makes up the bulk of Coke's operations in the Philippines. The company, just in March, had made known its plan to shut down its concentrate plant in Canlubang, also in Laguna, but said this would not affect the Sta. Rosa operations.
Coke has 23 production plants, serving at least 800,000 customers.
