Inlet Cottage is ideal
Great Location - Great Price!
The cottage was perfect for my husband & I. I think it would also be great for a family with young children - the cottage sleeps 4. There is a queen sized bed and a twin trundle all in the one bedroom.
The cottage is in a great location - just blocks from the beach and from Washington Street Mall. Our preferred method of transportation in Cape May is our feet - whether walking or biking - and this location was perfect for that!
The cottage itself was immaculate - definitely one of the cleanest beach houses I have rented. When we arrived the owner Sally and her cleaning crew were onsite putting the finishing touches on our cottage as well as the other properties. We bumped into Sally a couple times during our week-long stay and she was always smiling and asking if we had anything & everything we might need.
I would definitely stay there again and cannot recommend it highly enough!
Wonderful vacation cottage in Cape May
She sent a lovely welcome letter to prepare us with all we needed and what we would need for arrival and departure. We frankly didnt see anyone the entire time we were there and it was so peaceful. The property was very clean, cool, and even looked renovated in some areas (new shower and bathroom and kitchen was so clean). We made pancakes for breakfast and brought other food with us which was so convenient and a money saver.
The cottage is located two easy walking blocks from the beach, shops, bike rentals and so much more!! Sally provides ample beach chairs, there is an outdoor shower if you are sandy from the beach and there are at least three grills available if you want to enjoy dinner outside. You dont need your car unless you want to drive out of town or see the other side of the island, and parking is free on the residential street just outside the front door.
On our last night the area power went out and we werent sure what to do, but after getting in touch with Sally she directed us to flashlights and neighbors if needed. The power was restored in about two hours, but we werent worried and felt safe and comfortable.
We were sad to leave and hope to return next season and maybe invite other family or friends to join as they have a larger cottage just next to the one where we stayed.
Cape May charm
Charming Hideaway
You just can't beat this property's location. Once you park your car (free on street) it is a convenient walk to the beach or downtown. Shopping, tours, restaurants, night life, grocery store.... it's all a short stroll away.
This is a tiny cottage. I like to spread out my stuff, so while this cottage sleeps 4, I would probably find a foursome in this space a bit crowded, especially with all our belongings. The beds are a queen and a daybed with a pull out from under mattress. (There is a folding room divider that can separate the beds) The daybed is the main seating area for watching TV. The owner was a terrific hostess and loaned me an item that I had forgotten. The facilities were nicely decorated and the kitchen adequately stocked. I love to cook and when I requested some special kitchen equipment/supplies, the owner cheerfully provided them. I'll come back for the convenience!

Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII
If this game only has a single ending then why does it need to be replayed?
This seems quite a silly question to me since i replayed TONS of games that had only one ending.
Anyway, LR could have great incentives to be replayed:
-You can't do all the quests in a single cycle so replaying not only means you'll be able to actualy do something new, but it also means that Lightning will become stronger (since she get stronger doing quests this time around, not simply defeating monsters).
-If Lightning gets stronger it means that she'll be able to fight monsters that were too strong the first time and this could mean that she could explore new areas that were too dangerous or maybe simply obtaining new "ingredients" from monsters to create new weapons/outfits/accesories or whatever.
-You'll be able to play the game with a completely new prospective so you'll understand better what happens in the game.
-Since you won't be able to explore with ease the whole world in a single cycle you'll probably be able to explore something new when you replay......or maybe it's even possible that SE will unlock special "abilities" (something similar to FFXIII-2) where Lightning will be able to jump higher/move faster/increase the chance to fight rare monster/maybe even gaining new extra time so that the player will be able to explore with no rush...........so many possibilities.......
-Even if there is only one ending it doesn't mean that the player won't be able to unlock an extra scene if they complete everything.
-Being a bit action oriented it may be possible to unlock new (harder) difficulties, but i honestly don't think this will happen.
Anyway, i see tons of good reason to replay a game structured like LR........and if i'll love the game and i'll enjoy playing with it that would be a good enough reason in itsef to replay the game (like i replayed tons of other games that had no multiple endings).
"Remember, you can make anything as idiot-proof as you want, they'll just build a better idiot...."
Lol, good point. I guess they didn't think this through.
The official monarch of every single board.
Game will force completion and make you do different sidequests each run.
I have always hoped for a BERSERK Final Fantasy Game to be made realized.
Official GILGAMESH of every Gamefaqs Board

I'm not so sure. The structure of this game has me worried, it makes me feel like they might try and get away with having a short game. The Short development time is the reason why this is worrying. Unless SE have stated it will be fairly lengthy, I'm not that keen on the structure of LR.
That's a stupid question. Do you not replay any game with just one ending?

Sometime in 2004 Richard C. Vos, the admission dean at Claremont McKenna College, a highly regarded liberal arts school outside Los Angeles, developed a novel way to meet the school president's demands to improve the quality of incoming classes. He would simply lie.
Over the next seven years Vos provided falsified data–the numbers behind our ranking of Claremont McKenna in America's Top Colleges–to the Education Department and others, artificially increasing SAT and ACT scores and lowering the admission rate, providing the illusion, if not the reality, that better students were coming to Claremont McKenna. He got away with it thanks to a disturbing lack of oversight; he was trusted to hand-calculate the data and submit it without review. What had made this longtime employee break bad? "He felt the same pressure to deliver as any executive does," Claremont McKenna spokesman Max Benavidez says. (Vos, who resigned in January 2012, couldn't be reached for comment.)
Just as an analyst's upgrade can spark a rally in a specific stock, a college's move up the rankings usually results in a financial windfall. "There's institutional pressure at colleges to achieve at all levels, and that includes rankings," says Troy Onink, a college planning expert and FORBES contributor. "It's a hypercompetitive world for the best students and for that tuition revenue."
Claremont McKenna isn't the only top college that lied. Bucknell University doctored SAT results from 2006 to 2012; Emory University provided numbers for admitted students rather than enrolled ones for more than a decade; and Iona College lied about acceptance and graduation rates, SAT scores and alumni giving for nine years starting in 2002. All have since fessed up and claim to have instituted better practices. As a penalty for their dishonesty–and an acknowledgment of the growing scope of the problem–we are removing the four institutions from our list of the country's best schools for two years.
Are there other cheaters out there? If there are, they also will be taken off the list. Stay tuned. We will be watching.

Florence, Italy
My Rating
Very beautiful scenery and wonderful ride. We were lucky to be the only ones on the tour. Afternoon seems to be less popular and therefore the better time to go. Lunch was delicious and the guides were wonderful and friendly. Would definitely recommend this tour.
Florence, Italy
My Rating
A lot of fun and probably the best tasting pizza I had the entire time I was in Italy! I would definitely recommend this class.

David Wright gets it and always has. Now let's see if the same can be said for Noah Syndergaard. The Mets' captain reprimanded the young pitcher Tuesday for being in the clubhouse eating lunch instead of being on the bench for the intrasquad game.
Without getting in Syndergaard's face, Wright let it be known Syndergaard's place was in the dugout, not in an air-conditioned clubhouse. It's something a team captain should do.
Syndergaard did not immediately move until Bobby Parnell picked up the rookie's plate and dumped it in the trash.
Call that an exclamation point.
Wright is the captain for a reason, and that is to not only be a good example, but make sure his teammates understand.
"Being a young player, any chance you get to learn, you go out there and learn,'' Wright told Newsday. "I'm not a big ranter and raver. When I get on somebody, it's 99-percent private. I'm not going to yell and scream, but when I speak to somebody, when I get on somebody, the point needs to be taken.''
The Mets have pointed to this year as when they could be competitive and possibly even challenge for the playoffs. Syndergaard is counted on to be a integral piece in the Mets' development, and if he's to become what they hope, he must learn how to win.
And, that includes learning the protocols of a clubhouse. If Syndergaard is to eventually be a leader, he can't be if he's eating in the clubhouse during a game – even an intrasquad game.
Wright was teaching. He showed Syndergaard there is a right way and a wrong way to being a teammate.
Syndergaard should have known better, but made a mistake. He said he didn't think it was a big deal, and in the grand scheme of things, maybe it wasn't. But, Syndergaard hasn't been around long enough to make that decision.
Championship teams are built on little things, and that's why Wright thought it was a big deal. Lecturing Syndergaard is as much a part of his job description as driving in runs and playing third base.
If he doesn't step forward, then who will?
"I understand where David was coming from,'' Syndergaard told Newsday. "We're playing a team sport. I should be out there supporting my teammates.''
Often, there is a mental turning point in a player's career, as if a light switch was flipped. Maybe Wright turned it on for Syndergaard.

City to dip into reserves for next two years
The Californian
LAKE ELSINORE -- The city's financial reserves are due to decrease by more than half by the end of the fiscal year in July, city officials said Thursday during a budget review session held in city hall.
Officials projected they will be dipping into Lake Elsinore's reserves in 2002 as well.
Due to a lost lawsuit, the need to run the city-owned campground longer than expected and a failed agreement with the former management company of The Diamond baseball stadium, the city will be pulling just under $2.6 million from its reserves this fiscal year instead of the $917,000 originally anticipated.
Lake Elsinore is now looking at a $15.5 million budget for the 2000-2001 fiscal year running from July to June. That's roughly an increase of $2.85 million, or 23 percent, over the $12.6 million city officials originally projected they would need to run the city this year.
Come June, Lake Elsinore's reserves will have decreased from $4.8 million to $2.2 million, or around 54 percent. City Manager Dick Watenpaugh said he anticipates Lake Elsinore's reserves will be slightly more the $1 million by June 2002.
"There's no surprise in the reduction of reserves," Watenpaugh said. "We're not proposing any budget cuts. We're not proposing any terminations or layoffs. You bet we're using our financial reserves, and that's the financial path council has set us on."
The city anticipated it would be paying off a large legal settlement, but the reserve fund got two unexpected hits when the management company of The Diamond backed out of a 15-year deal to run the stadium and an agreement to hand over operations of the city-owned campground was not reached by the first quarter, as hoped.
Lake Elsinore's reserves took the greatest hit from a $2.3 million lawsuit the city decided to settle in August after failed attempts at appeal. In the lawsuit, Robert Williams and his partner, Gary Hasson, said the city made it financially impossible for them to develop their land when the city built wetlands near their property to compensate for habitat destroyed by construction of a bridge and flood control channel.
Terms of the settlement required the city to fork out an initial payment of $1.4 million in August, followed by quarterly payments of $45,000 for up to five years.
This fall, Lakeside Sports & Entertainment reneged on its deal to manage The Diamond baseball stadium, which caused the city to pull $300,000 from reserves to maintain the ballpark for the rest of the year.
The city is still working on a deal to hire Sunland RV Resorts of La Jolla to run the city-owned campground. City officials didn't include campground operations in Lake Elsinore's budget in hopes they could hand over operations costs to a concessionaire. After numerous delays, the city has yet to sign an agreement and as a result has since had to pull $308,000 from its reserves to keep the campground open. Watenpaugh said Thursday that the city has set a deadline of March 27 to end negotiations with the La Jolla company.

Original Essays
The Question of Influencesby Aleksandar Hemon
When I was writing "The Sorge Spy Ring," a story from my first book, The Question of Bruno, I listened to only two CDs: Mahler's Ninth Symphony and Parliament's Mothership Connection. I could not listen to anything else it seemed that the story demanded those two and would not admit anything else. To my mind, "The Sorge Spy Ring," a story about Richard Sorge, a World War II spy who was working in Tokyo for the Soviet and was arguably the greatest spy of the past century, and about a boy who believes his father might be a spy, is heavily influenced by Mahler and Parliament, a most unlikely combination. But what the relation is, I cannot possibly explain. To complicate matters further, at the time of writing the story I watched a lot of movies, in fact almost exclusively Akira Kurosawa films. So when I look at "The Sorge Spy Ring" I can see Mahler, George Clinton, Akira Kurosawa, Bootsy Collins, Toshiro Mifune and then many others, including my friends and distant members of my family. And I'm perfectly aware that you'd have to be out of your mind to really see them there. Since "The Sorge Spy Ring," I've written stories under the influence of Bach, Miles Davis, a Chicago DJ who calls herself Psycho Bitch, The Beatles. Then there are movie directors: I've written with Wim Wenders, Werner Herzog, Robert Bresson, Alfred Hitchcock, Billy Wilder, Howard Hawks, Claire Denis, Paul Thomas Anderson and the Farrelly brothers.
At almost every reading I'm asked about the writers who influenced me. And I give my answer: Danilo Kis, Bruno Schulz, Isaac Babel, Franz Kafka, Vladimir Nabokov, Anton Chekhov, Michael Ondaatje, one William Shakespeare. I'm not lying: I love these writers, and try to get involved, somehow, in a dialogue with them. And when someone finds the connection between my stuff and the impressive works they produced, I have a pleasant feeling of having communicated something important, of having continued an important conversation. But my relation to these writers (and many books by other writers: say, The Adventures of Augie March) is based on love and respect and imagined, immodest proximity it is the case, as it were, of a member of a choir being inspired and entranced by the most seductive preachers. If I could call them on the phone (Holden Caulfield distinguished between the writers you want to call and the writers you don't want to call on the phone), I'd call them daily, testing with them the validity of my decisions, until they'd stop answering my calls ("Mr. Nabokov, do you think I should waste my time with contemporary fiction?" or "Anton, do you think I need to read more poetry?"). One could call such influence wishful influence: I want to be like them, in one way or another; I want to write the books akin to theirs an impossibility, obviously, which still brings about a sort of anxiety. I want the reader to enjoy my book in exactly the same way I enjoy Lolita or A Tomb for Boris Davidovich. At the same time, I dread the possibility of merely emulating, of writing pastiches that are not even close to the work I love and need so much. ("Mr. Kafka, I wrote something I thought you might like." "Stop calling me, young man, or I'll take you to court.")
Then there is negative influence. Billy Wilder was (more than) once asked about his biggest influence and he cited Cecil B. DeMille, because, he said, it was while watching DeMille's films that he learned exactly what not to do. In that sense a lot of contemporary American fiction-indeed, so much of it that it would be unfair to cite any particular names constitutes my Cecil B. DeMille.
But there is a whole different way of being influenced: it is the way a sieve is influenced by the river whose water is going through it, leaving random dregs. The world goes through me, and some particles of it, for random reasons, unrelated to my will or my mind, stay with me. Raymond Carver once told a story about the time he was sitting at his desk, writing a story. The phone rang, and when he picked it up, someone asked for Norman. "Wrong number," said Carver, but after he hung up, a menacing character named Norman appeared in his story. I guess you can say he was influenced by the anonymous caller. I have been influenced by murdered mosquitoes on my ceiling; by the scent of my cat's fur; by a neighbor who ripped out the plants we planted in their empty pots; by my father's childhood stories; by a sunset in Zaporizhye, Ukraine, which owed its breathtaking beauty to the density of iron particles in the air; by a particularly strong double espresso.
It is impossible to write without being nearly pathologically opened to influences, if you understand "influence" as a way to be related to the world around, as a mode of perpetual, endless conversation. All I do is filter the influences through language. It's an exhilarating process. So the question of influences is in many ways a false one: there are so many of them there need to be so many just to be able to write anything at all that I need to write books in order to come to terms with all of the influences. You can say that the world is my biggest influence, and the only important one.

HoopsHype Nelson Mandela rumors
Drake, David Beckham, Magic Johnson and Charles Barkley are expected to attend Friday's game against Cleveland in Toronto that will promote the Giants of Africa foundation, which uses basketball to educate and enrich African youth. Toronto will host a pregame fundraiser, and the Raptors will wear shooting shirts honoring Nelson Mandela. Yahoo! Sports
In an attempt to channel Mandela's ideals of inclusion and equality in sports, the Orlando Magic are making great attempts to recognize others from different cultures and backgrounds. Just as the franchise and Chase have both been committed to multicultural efforts in the past, hosting Noche Latina Night and Black History Month activities, the Magic will join with the Indian American Chamber of Commerce (IACC) on Jan. 19 for the second annual India Day presented by Chase. The IACC executive committee includes President Tino Patel, Varesh Patel, Yog Melwani, Jay Shah, Beena Parikh and Sanjay Srinivasan. NBA.com
Nelson Mandela wasn't taking visitors. He was pushing 90, the famed vitality fading, but was told that a group there to see him in Johannesburg included Dikembe Mutombo. "He met with us, and he was just so happy to see me," Mutombo, the great former Nuggets center, said by phone. "He said, 'Mutombo my friend, how are you doing?' There were all these NBA players and coaches, and they all were shocked — 'Madiba remembered your name?' He said, 'Thank you very much for what you're doing in Africa. How's the hospital?' To hear that coming from Mandela, it was something I will never forget." Denver Post
"He shared with us so many things, and I will take that experience with me to my grave," Mutombo said. "I got a chance to meet the great leader, the great man of faith, the great hero — not just for Africa, but for the world. "This man spent 27 years in jail, was about to run for presidency of the new South Africa and he decided to meet with us. He believed that sport was the way to bring white and black South Africans together. Mandela unified the nation through the sports — sports can change the community, sports can change the world. It can change a human being with how they think, how they look at each other." Denver Post

Australian PM Puts Pressure On US To Join Kyoto Protocol
On Tuesday, Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd urged the United States to take more action on climate change and become more involved in the global debate on the issue.
With the U.S. being the only developed nation not to sign the greenhouse gas-controlling Kyoto Protocol, America's stance on climate change has made it easier for major developing countries to avoid acting, Rudd told the Australia-New Zealand Climate Change and Business Conference in the northern city of Auckland.
Rudd said the first step should be to get the United States of America fully engaged.
Rudd acknowledged he had spoken about climate change policy with the U.S. presidential candidates, Republican John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama.
"What is heartening on that question is that both candidates…have indicated that they will be moving on this, and with an ambitious set of targets," he said.
Greenhouse gas emissions must level off within the next 10-15 years and then start to dramatically decline to avoid a rise in average temperatures that could have catastrophic consequences according to the Nobel prize-winning panel of U.N. scientists.
They warn that an increase of more than 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit could lead to a rise in sea levels threatening coastal areas, and the extinction of up to 30 percent of the planet's species.
New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark said American actions were important even if they did not sign global climate treaties.
She noted that if the U.S. did join the Kyoto system following the presidential election, its involvement would take away excuses for inaction from developing countries like China and India.
"There is no way the First World can solve this problem alone – even if the United States comes in," she said.
Clark said much of the success of the plan rested on developed economies leading by example.
"That is why Australia coming in (to the Kyoto Protocol) is critical." The Rudd government signed the protocol within days of taking office.

380 Million Year Old Fish Found with Unborn Embryos
May 29, 2008
Museum Victoria's expedition has announced a remarkable 380 million year old fossil placoderm fish with intact embryo and mineralised umbilical cord.
The discovery, published in Nature and one of the most significant ever made by Australian scientists, makes the fossil the world's oldest known vertebrate mother. It also provides the earliest evidence of vertebrate sexual reproduction, wherein the males (which possessed clasping organs similar to modern sharks and rays) internally fertilised females.
This fossil has been named Materpiscis attenboroughi, meaning 'mother fish', in honour of Sir David Attenborough, who first drew attention to the significance of the Gogo sites in his 1979 series Life on Earth.

Its a special edition of WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING when HBO Sports presents JOE CALZAGHE VS. ROY JONES JR., the exclusive replay of their highly anticipated light heavyweight showdown, this SATURDAY, NOV. 15 at 10:15 p.m. ET/ 7;15 P.M. PT on HBO. The HBO Sports team, which was ringside for the live event at Madison Square Garden in New York, will call all the action. The replay will be available in HDTV..
Carried live on HBO Pay-Per-View, the Nov. 8 fight featured the long awaited ring battle between two future Hall of Famers. Calzaghe turned in a stellar performance, winning a unanimous decision victory. The Calzaghe-Jones fight will be paired with the live HBO telecast of super middleweights as Jermain Taylor and Jeff Lacy meet in Nashville on Saturday night.
Television analyst Nick Charles comments on New York-based Irishman James Moores December 13 challenge of NABF junior middleweight champion Yuri Foreman on ShoBox: The New Generation.
Nick Charles, the longtime co-host of ShoBox: The New Generation, is excited over the December 13 fight between NABF junior middleweight champion Yuri Foreman, 26-0 (8 KOS), and challenger James Moore, 16-1 (10 KOS).
The Top Rank-promoted show, which will take place at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, is being headlined by the rubber match between WBO junior welterweight champion Kendall Holt, 24-2 (13 KOS), of Paterson, New Jersey, and former titlist Ricardo Torres, 32-2 (28 KOS), of Colombia.
Although Foreman and Moore are both based in New York, the 28-year-old Foreman, who is ranked in the top-ten by all the major sanctioning bodies, was born in Belarus but lived for several years in Israel. The 30-year-old Moore is a native of County Wicklow, Ireland.
Foreman has proven that you dont have to have a knockout punch to be effective, said Charles. He knows how to turn a guy and control the distance in the ring. This fight will be all about distance; whether Foreman can maintain it or if Moore can close it. If Moore can close it, he can win.
Charles says that Moores key to victory is to do what he does best; continually move forward and never stop throwing punches. Moore cant be stuck at the end of Foremans jabs, he explained. Hes got to get close enough to unload with his left hook and then follow up with his right hand. Against a guy like Foreman, its all about positioning.
Moore cant worry about getting hit, he adds. Hes got to make this into a brawl, a firefight. Andrey Tsurkan did that against Foreman, but he didnt have the power to take him out and lost a close decision. If Tsurkan could have his moments against Foreman, Moore should be able to do the same.
Charles believes that beating Foreman will be a tall order, but says it is a wonderful opportunity for the popular Irishman.
You can make a case for either guy to win, said Charles. There are a lot of stakes involved. This is as dangerous of a fight for Foreman as it is for Moore. The style contrasts will make it interesting. Its not a slam-dunk or a showcase for either guy. Its a very good ShoBox matchup.
Tickets, which range from $200 to $50, are available at all Ticketmaster outlets, www.ticketmaster.com, or by phone at 1-800-736-1420. They can also be purchased at the Boardwalk Hall box office, which is open Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. and on Saturdays from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.
Dunne powers up for Faccio test
Bernard Dunne says hes determined to prove hes ready for a world title fight by beating Cristian El Terrible Faccio in style on this Saturdays Hunky Dorys Fight Night at the Breaffy House Resort, Castlebar.
After an intensive six week training camp in Belfast Dunne is confident that he can produce a sparkling performance against the Uruguayan power puncher.
The Dubliner has been concentrating on his strength and conditioning ahead of this weekends bout having added specialist coach Mike McGurn to his training team. McGurn has a wealth of experience working with top class athletes on their strength and conditioning including a stint as the Irish Rugby teams fitness coach.
Ive been working very hard with Mike McGurn and Fergus Connolly to improve my strength, said Dunne. Thats an area that we sat down as a team and decided we needed to work on. Mike has great experience from working with the Irish rugby team over the last few years and Fergus is currently working with the Welsh rugby team so they bring a lot to the table in terms of know how and experience.
Weve been working on developing explosive power while also improving my overall strength because thats very important if you want to compete at world level. Ive also done a lot of work with them in terms of my diet and reducing my body fat correctly. The important thing is to have lean muscle rather than bulking up which would obviously affect my weight.
Ive still been working as hard as ever in the gym on my technique with Harry Hawkins but we felt it was important to introduce the strength and conditioning aspect as well and hopefully Ill show all the benefits of that work on Saturday night.
Dunne has had to contend with a late change of opponent after Faccio stepped in to replace original opponent Eduardo Garcia but hes not perturbed by the switch.
Its not ideal but the good thing is that having watched a few of his fights Faccio is quite similar in style to Garcia. Hes aggressive and likes to come forward but thats the kind of opponent I like anyway because you dont have to go looking for them.
The Dubliners manager, Brian Peters believes an impressive win on Saturday will leave his charge on the brink of a world title fight but for now Dunne is putting that to the back of his mind.
From day one my career has always been about getting a world title shot and I think were ready for that now. My confidence is back, Im fully focused and Ive no distractions. I'm 28 now so I know I need to step up to the mark and test myself against the big names at world level and hopefully 2009 will be all about that but for now the only thing Im thinking about is beating Cristian Faccio and getting another win under my belt.
All the talk about world title fights will mean nothing if I slip up on Saturday night and this guy has to be respected. Hes only just fought for the world title himself and is world rated, hes mixed in some good company and theres no doubt he can bang as well, his record proves that.
One issue Dunne is happy to put to bed though is the prospect of fighting for his old European title against Rendall Munroe. The Munroe isnt going to happen any time soon. I certainly dont believe hes running scared or anything like that because Rendalls a good fighter, I think its mainly business reasons why he wont fight me. He said he wouldnt come to Dublin to fight me but his next defence is going to be in Dublin against an Italian so that doesnt really add up.
Dunnes scheduled ten round fight with Faccio headlines what promises to be an action packed Hunky Dorys Fight Night. Heading the supporting cast is local hero Henry The Western Warrior Coyle who faces Birminghams Delroy Sweet D Mitchell in what will be Coyles first ever scheduled ten rounder.
Lurgan welterweight Stephen Haughian will be out for revenge when he goes up against Giamario Grassellini for the second time. The Italian inflicted the first defeat of Haughians pro career last December when he successfully defended his IBF Intercontinental title in Belfast courtesy of a split decision.
Also in action is Galway born welterweight prospect John ODonnell, as he looks to continue his impressive recent form. Tyrones Damian Taggart also features alongside Irish Canadian lightweight prospect Logan McGuinness while Brendan Ingles latest protégé, Steve Barnes makes his pro debut.
Tickets for the Hunky Dorys Fight Night are on sale from Ticketmaster (phone 0818 719 300 or visit ticketmaster.ie). Tickets are also available from Ticketmaster outlets nationwide.

In correct, corseted English, the word 'prepone' does not exist. It is a word coined by Indians who are in such a rush to "move to an earlier time than was originally planned" that they cannot waste words. But as of this week, you can go ahead and officially prepone that meeting/vacation/wedding and be correct.
The eighth edition of the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary (OALD) is here and India power has pushed into the English lexicon a number of desi usages that your English teacher would have run a red pen through.
"Indian English is a big influence on the evolution of the language. Of the 2 billion words that form the Oxford English corpus, 2 per cent is contributed by Indian usage. That is a large number if you consider that a whole lot of nations from South Africa to New Zealand affect the usage of English," says Alison Waters, publishing manager, ELT Dictionaries Department of Oxford University Press, UK.
The OALD is a dictionary aimed at people for whom English is a second language or who are not strong with the language. The words listed here and in the main Oxford dictionary are more or less the same. What differs is how the word is explained to the dictionary user.
When the sun had not set on the Raj, Indian English speakers had no choice but to toe the line set by the classicists. Queen's English, points out Waters, was an 'aspirational' thing. The fact was that 60 per cent of English speakers do not use it.
Imperialism is way behind us now, the Indian diaspora is too huge to be sidelined, and it is perfectly okay to claim unabashedly in bad English, 'We are like that only'. It was only a matter of time before the linguistic establishment reacted to the change.
Sociolinguist Anvita Abbi points out that Indians play jugaad with language as they do in every other sphere of life. What starts off as a matter of convenience becomes so popular that it has to find its way into the official lexicon. "Well, now we are making our own rules in English. We all understand that that 'pone' means nothing and that the prefix post has a definite meaning. So we coin a new word that is coined in the same pattern of the existing morphology. There is no violation of rules here really," she explains.
'Encounters', for instance, are hardly ever as deadly in other English-speaking nations as they are in India. Here they clearly mean a shootout orchestrated by the police and has easily become such an integral part of the English lexicon that it is beyond the reach of a purist's disapproval. OALD has included this interesting variant usage of the word in the new edition.
The common Indian use of the verb 'revert' too has the OALD stamp now. Indians use it mostly to refer to response to a communication rather than its conventional meaning ('go back to a previous state'). The dictionary also points out that in India a 'mishap' could mean a really serious accident and not just a trivial one as in the western usage of the word.
The seventh edition of the OALD ratified a revolutionary number of Indianisms as official English. The eighth edition further expands the pool. Digital technology, politics, economics have all contributed to foreign words and uses creeping into the language.
But there is so far and no further even OALD would go. "This is a big debate but the dictionary still has to reflect what the ideal pattern should be. English does not have an Academie Francaise to set rules but we can set out some norms and then point out that these are common mistakes users make," says Waters.
It takes more than just a chance encounter with a word for a lexicographer to start taking it seriously enough. If it has to get into the dictionary it has to be reflected widely enough in the society. OALD, for instance, looks for at least 100 citations before it welcomes a non-English word in. This means keeping a sharp lookout for words that appear too frequently to be dismissed.
Lexicographers go beyond just newspapers and books to find this affirmation: menu cards, courtroom minutes, council meeting reports, business communications, and now blogs and websites too are sources of information.
But words and their uses, like political circumstances, are ephemeral, says Waters. Words such as 'telegram', 'cold war', 'perestroika' and 'glasnost' which were widely used in their times are no longer current and get edged out of dictionaries after a period of struggle. Ironically, 'fakir' are back in the dictionary, even if they are a dwindling community.
It is, of course, a sign of the times we live in that 'niqab', 'sawm' and 'kirpan' have found their way into the OALD.

Answers to the Water Quiz
View SHERRY822's Sparkpage
View All Blog Entries from SHERRY822
Saturday, July 17, 2010
Okay, as promised, although I only know of one person who took the quiz, here are the answers, and explanations.
1) B. Sleep troubles, and fatigue can signal dehydration.
So can dry mouth, thirst, decreased urine output, muscle fatigue, dizziness, and light-headedness.
2) D. Yep All of the above. The body can't tell the difference between wether it's getting water from a tap water, or lettuce. In fact, on average, 20% of total water intake comes from the food you eat.
3) C. The recommendation of 92-124 ounces comes fromthe Institute of Medicine. It may sound like a lot of water, but remember that you get more than a splash from your daily intake of food. Don't think you can rely on your parched throat to tell you when to imbibe. You should drink when you feel thirsty but that may not be enough, because by the time you are thirsty, you're already mildly dehydrated.
4) A. Pale yellow is the gold standard for urine color. Marked changes in your urine color may indicate that you are over or under hydrated.
5) C. Good news, java junkies. Caffeine is not a diuretic. Studies show that people who drink beverages containing up to 550 mg. of caffeine per day, (the amount of about 4 cups of coffee), produce no more urine than those who drink caffeine free beverages. In fact consuming caffeinated beverages, in moderation, contributes to your overall hydration for the day.
6) B. Cheers !An occasional beer or glass of wine counts as another source of fluid. The key is moderation. Alcohol is not recommended during times of increased physiological stress, including heat or before, during or after exercise.
7) D. Sports drinks may taste great, but they're not needed by typical weekend warriors. There is a lot of evidence to suggest that, for most people, water alone will get the job done. The sugar and electrolytes in sports drinks may improve serious athletes' performance, but most moderate exercisers don't require the added calories these beverages provide.
8) D. During exercise you lose water via sweat, and respiration. It's important to stay hydrated before, during, and after exercise, as well as throughout the day. Needs vary by person, but an extra 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 cups of water should be enough for most bouts of moderate activity. If you participate in strenuous endurance activities such as a triathlon, or marathon, you may need more.
Give yourself 5 points for every correct answer.
If you scored 35-40: Master Hydrator
If you scored 25-30: Rising Water Star
If you scored 0-20: Don't despair, now you know what your body needs.

I've heard that you should drink 1/2 your weight in ounces on a daily basis! I like to stick to that (at least!)...love my water! :D So if you're 200 pounds, you should drink 100 ounces of water a day!

Have you ever been to a Catholic School? If not, I will tell you what it is like. Just to have the opportunity to learn about God is an amazing thing. God is so many things! He has the ability to create human beings, animals and plants. Jesus died for us to be free from sin. To be able to learn about God every day is such an important thing to me.
We are so happy with our decision to send our daughter to Blessed Sacrament. We love the academic and athletic programs the school has to offer. We know that our daughter will grow and become a much better student and person because of the environment of the school.
Our family has attended Blessed Sacrament School for three generations. Blessed Sacrament helps the students strive for academic excellence in a safe and positive environment while instilling Catholic values.
Our two children not only love their school and education, but the wonderful things they learn about their religion. After graduation from Blessed Sacrament, we intend to seek a Catholic High School, since our experience at BSS has been so enjoyable.
For us, it's tradition - Our parents went to BSS, we went here, and now our two oldest daughters have graduated from BSS and we still have two boys here. It just feels like home!

Tear Stains
posted 7 years ago
I used this when I first got my malt. His little face was stained. I would baithe him and used clear eye. It did nothing to remove the stains. After doing some research I found that giving water in a stainless steel bowl helped, also giving puified water. I also did a Ph test on his tears and found his tears to be too acidic. so I added a pinch of baking soda to his water to change the Ph balance. Now his little face is white. No more tear stains.
Pros: none
Cons: dosent work well

50 rds. Eley Match .22 Long Rifle 40 Grain Lead Flat Nose Ammo is rated out of 5 by 70.Rated 5 out of 5 by gabbie54 from great Price It was for my Husband and he liked it so I guess it was goodDate published: 2015-04-10Rated 4 out of 5 by Muffman Hunter from .22 for 10/22 Bought this ammo for a Ruger 10/22 takedown. Had no problems with the factory 10 round magazine with this ammo, but the 25 round Butler Creek was Bob Marley, that is to say it was always jamming.Date published: 2015-04-07Rated 5 out of 5 by Sid C from Best of the best Not plinking ammo. (Guess you can tell by the price!) I like to keep a little of the good stuff on hand for matches or really wringing out the most accuracy from a target rifle. This is very consistant.Date published: 2015-02-10Rated 5 out of 5 by MNMAN from Great loads Shot 2" groups at 25 yards. Cycled semi auto consistently.Date published: 2015-01-09Rated 5 out of 5 by Pilgrim from Great price Great produce...shot a tight group...my gun likes it.Date published: 2014-11-05Rated 4 out of 5 by DAVID B & ELSIE F from UniformityDate published: 2014-09-30Rated 5 out of 5 by JERRY from Most accurate ammo in my match grade Kidd barreled 10/22. One ragged hole at 50 yds. and more often than not it shoots sub-moa at 100 yds. If your match grade barrel doesn't do as well try a cheap rubber barrel tuner, start with it at the muzzle and shoot 5 shot groups, moving the tuner rearward with each group. You'll find the sweet spot pretty quickly. I shoot RWS R-50 as well and it requires different positioning for best results so don't give up.Date published: 2014-09-27Rated 4 out of 5 by RJ from Sad that we've come to the point in the USA when .22 is so hard to get, you've got to go to a foreign supplier and pay through the nose. It's good ammo and it's available.Date published: 2014-08-03

 I recently ordered 20 boxes of this ammunition. I want to be assured that the ammunition I get is 1085 fps. Thank you.

Asked by: Rick

 Yes, this ammunition should travel at 1085 fps.

|Reviews for Interior Monologue
| fullybooked chapter 16 . 2/9/2011
Well,at least you now have the time for your other stories!
| Disney Is Hardcore chapter 9 . 2/8/2011
...porn stars? *sweatdrop
| MaxMcDowell chapter 16 . 2/8/2011
Well...I had a nice long message for you but some how I managed to trun the review box into an oth web page :/
And since I can't remember everything I will be brief.
I agree with whom ever told you to just leave this story.
Work on your other stories and forget about this one. The one day POOF! you'll get an idea for this one :)
Don;t worry about that people that yelled at you. Its not our story, its yours. Its your thoughts and if you muse has ran out of thoughts for this story, then it is best that you let it go. I would tell thoes readers that they should be happy you atleast tried and that you gave it the best ending that you could instead of just leaveing it hanging.
I can not wait to read new chapters from your other stories, so good luck in your writeing! :)
~Hands you 4 HUGE platers of BIG cookies. 2 for you and 2 for your muse~ I hope that these help! .
| NB-writer chapter 16 . 2/7/2011
"You should go back and continue all the other stories yo have not updated, to make up for this horrible disappointment to your fans" said your conscience.
| Garneau chapter 16 . 2/7/2011
I get what you mean about losing all drive for a story. Maybe one day it suddenly reappear.
While we are talking about stories, are you going to update Moonlight and Roses anytime soon? That would have to be my all time favourite of your stories.
Anyway I look forward to what you produce next,
| angry reader chapter 15 . 2/7/2011
i hate your story now
| Arisa chapter 16 . 2/7/2011
Okay now I'm scared your other uncompleted stories are gonna end the same way... :( Since you haven't uploaded a new chapter for them in awhile.
| fullybooked chapter 15 . 2/7/2011
HOnestly i don't really get it
| SecretAgent99 chapter 15 . 2/6/2011
I definitely wasn't expecting the story to end like this. If the poem was longer and focused more on each person a bit, I think it would be better. It's the shortness that made it odd. It's a good idea, just a little too short I think.
| Eternal Skies chapter 15 . 2/6/2011
Omg you made me so furious and angry I don't want to write a single nice thing.
First of all, the writing was awkward at times, but I over-looked it because your story had a really good concept and interesting, complex characters albeit executed poorly. I was also bothered with the rushed pace and speed by which you wrote the story. There were so many points that you could've written more about instead of just writing whatever to move on with the story.
Another thing was the ending that's not really an ending. I just feel sad for the time I spent reading this and anticipating the ending, but you didn't take the story seriously at all! I'm pissed off like hell. If you didn't find a way of ending it then don't write an ending at all, instead the major disappointment that is chapter 15.
I never lash out in my reviews. I believe in reasonable ways but I feel much better after steaming this off.
Note: you can still change the ending, y'know, even though I don't know who would bother reading something it's writer didn't put her whole heart in.
| EmptySh3ll chapter 15 . 2/5/2011
Didn't expect that. I understand that you were lost with where to go with this. Hopefully in the future, you do get inspiration to this story and maybe come back and take the plot for a nice ride. I liked the idea.
| Masquerade hide your face chapter 15 . 2/5/2011
I must admit that I am very dissapointed with this story. I thought I could've gone a lot longer with romance and lost of tragedy. But your the writer. I would say leave this story alone for a year or two come back and look at it and then most likely you will get a lot more isparation for it.
| Guest chapter 15 . 2/5/2011
i really think you should do an epilogue, it just doesn't seem complete...
| HoPELeSS.RoMaNTiiC chapter 15 . 2/5/2011
Oh wow. I really can't believe you ended it this way. I love your stories, you should know that by now but this is disappointing. It's all wrong Feathers doesn't talk like that and unless you'll clear it up in your epilogue or your going to do a sequel it doesn't even fit the romance genre! All I can say is your epilogue better be great.
| Blossom of Life chapter 15 . 2/3/2011
I loved this story, you are a fabulous writer, your technique is wonderful. I must admit, I didn't like you ending. It felt rushed and didn't have the same polished feel that your other chapters. Great story though, definately adding to my favourites. :)

Amore Mio: Best pizzas in town......
This little Italian restaurant has the best pizza in town. If you don't like pizza there is enough choise to take something else. I also love the pasta's and the fish here.....
The owner Isa is very friendly.
Favorite Dish: Pizza (I love the one with smoked salmon and cheese)
Brasserie in de dikke Daan: Real budget tip !!
A real budget tip is brasserie in de dikke Daan. This nice place is part of the hotelschool so the students learn how to cook you food en how to serve it to you. Every day they have a menu for 8,50 Euro. And a plate for less than 4 euro. They are closed during schoolholidays and only open from monday untill friday during lunchtime.
Favorite Dish: The food was always great
L'Amante: Give it a miss
Specializes is South American dishes with a menu that ranges from Steaks to Fish to other meats and vegetarian meals. The portions are small and overpriced for what you get and the service is very bad. They have also overcharged and wrongly charged me in the past. Health Inspectors have issued fines to this restaurant in the past I have heard. Be very careful if eating here.
Favorite Dish: Scared to try anything for the fact you never know what will be in the food!
- Wine Tasting
- Food and Dining
De Patio: A little bit Spanish
A new restaurant with great a food. The owners lived in Spain for 10 years and the menu-card will tell you that......
For less than 20 Euro you can eat the weekmenu (starter, main and dessert)
Favorite Dish: shrimps in garlic-oil.........yummie
De Bourgondiër: De Bourgondiër
Not worldshaking gastronomical food but simple and good. Not badly presented either.
I did miss a few day specialities though.
Unfortunately (it was May 7) none of the Bergen op Zoom specialities were on the menu: fresh anchovies, asparagus and strawberries.
Maybe we were a teeny bit too early in the season?
Favorite Dish: Trio of fish (seabass, salmon, tuna) grilled with mustard sauce € 18,50
Salmon with Hollandaise sauce. € 15,50
- Food and Dining
- Family Travel
El Mundo De Carlita: Mexican atmosphere
El Mundo de Carlita is a trendy restaurant in the centre of Bergen op Zoom. It is situated perfectly, right in front of the Markiezenhof. They play Latin music, everything is decorated wonderfully in Mexican style and they have a trendy menu.
The restaurant is also opened after dinner time. Then you can drink something of eat tapas (untill 22:30).
