NBA Pick: Denver Nuggets @ Los Angeles Lakers Preview
- Updated: April 28, 2012
The Los Angeles Lakers start off their NBA playoff campaign on Sunday at 3:30, when they take on the Denver Nuggets in what could be a very high scoring series.
The Nuggets know that they are going to have to use all of their players in the rotation to be able to stop the star power that the Lakers have to throw at them. Danilo Gallinari has totally fallen off the face of the earth and went from the top scorer on the team to the third leading scorer at 14.6 points per game. Meanwhile, Arron Afflalo has picked up the slack and has gotten to 15.2 points per game, while Ty Lawson is good for 16.4 points and 6.6 assists per game. Al Harrington, JaVale McGee, and Kenneth Faried are all double-double point scorers as well, and Andre Miller has proven to be a good backup guard to Lawson. Of course, none of these players are what you would call stars in this league, and in the end, all of the stats are really a product of the way that Head Coach George Karl has his team running up and down the court, and this really isn't necessarily a reflection on just how good any of these players really are.
This is clearly going to be a two-week stretch that defines the Lakers for the next several years. Losing this series would probably end up resulting in the firing of Head Coach Mike Brown, and it might be a sign that this team is going to be down the drain in the very near future. Kobe Bryant has been hurt and missed time, and that's not usually something that we see happening for a man that has a tremendous tolerance for pain. Bryant just missed the scoring title, averaging 27.9 points per game this year. Andrew Bynum really came on strong this year after some ups and downs with the coaching staff, and he ended the year at 18.7 points and 11.8 boards per game. Pau Gasol also averaged a double-double this year at 17.4 points and 10.4 rebounds per game. Of course, the rest of this squad just isn't all that great. Ramon Sessions has been a good addition this year at the deadline, but outside of that, no one averaged more than 7.8 points per game on the campaign. Someone, whether it be Steve Blake, Jordan Hill, or Devin Ebanks really needs to step up to replace the suspended Metta World Peace.

The Final Word: The Lakers are the better team in this series, but we don't think that it is by all that much. The Nuggs look and feel awfully sharp at such a small point spread of 5.5, and we think that they are going to at least stick inside of this number on Sunday. Don't be shocked if they pull off the upset as well.
Denver Nuggets @ Los Angeles Lakers Free Pick: Denver Nuggets +5.5

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey and Tampa Bay Rays closer Fernando Rodney have been selected Comeback Players of the Year. Posey returned from a broken leg to win the NL batting title this season, hitting .336 with a career-high 24 homers and 103 RBI while leading the Giants to the NL West title. Posey played in only 45 games in 2011 after being injured in a violent collision at home plate on May 25. A first-time All-Star, Rodney had 48 saves in his first year with the Rays. He was 2-2 with a 0.60 ERA, a record for a reliever with at least 50 innings. In 74 2/3 innings, Rodney allowed just five earned runs and 43 hits. He was also chosen as delivery man of the year. Rodney struggled with a back injury in 2011 and lost his role as the Los Angeles Angels' closer, finishing with three saves. The awards were voted on by the 30 beat writers of MLB.com and announced Friday.

The Indians are faced with a potential hole in their starting rotation in the wake of Fausto Carmona's arrest for identity theft on Jan. 19 in the Dominican Republic. Carmona's arrest made his availability for the start of spring training, and perhaps for the start of the regular season, very questionable. Before Carmona's arrest, the Indians appeared to be in a position to go to spring training with their starting rotation already set. The most likely configuration appeared to be, in order: Justin Masterson, Ubaldo Jimenez, Josh Tomlin, Carmona and Derek Lowe. However, Carmona's potential absence means the Indians' starting pitching depth could be tested before the season even begins. Fortunately for the Indians, they do have some starting pitching depth. Right-handers Jeanmar Gomez and Zach McAllister both made some starts at the major league level last season. So did left-hander David Huff. Gomez, McAllister and Huff all had very good seasons at Class AAA Columbus last year. ...

Originally written on Mets Merized Online | Last updated 9/21/12
Before last night's game, Terry Collins told reporters that reliever Josh Edgin would make one more relief appearance this season before being shutdown for the season. With the Mets already being pounded 11-1 by the Phillies, Edgin came on to relieve an ineffective Jeurys Familia in the ninth inning with the bases loaded. He plunks Chase Utley to force home a run, and then BOOM! A grand slam by Ryan Howard! This comes on the heels of Wednesday night's loss to the Phillies who came back to beat Edgin in the ninth after he coughed up a game winning two-run homer to Ryan Howard. It was a horrible pitch and Edgin is the first to admit it. He called that fastball Howard crushed "a meatball,'' and it cost Matt Harvey a victory. Even so, Edgin has been one of the few encouraging notes out of an otherwise negative bullpen this summer and had a streak of 16 straight scoreless appearances snapped last night. One stinker and 16 good games is a good ratio. Discouraging about Edgin's performan...

Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Guided Kayaking Tour on Niagara River from the US Side. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
This was an amazing tour. Our guide was Paul and he explained everything to us about the plants and animals in that region. It was like being in a biology class. This is not a lazy tour, you have to actually work to get where you're going. There is also some open water kayaking which means you're really exposed to the elements and water conditions. We found this just added to the tour.
This tour was amazing!
This was the best day of our Niagara trip. Very knowledgeable guide with fascinating history and facts about the area. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone who likes history and water.
Kayaking was such a fun and wonderful experience. The regular tour guide was not available as we booked last minute; however the owner's son - Tommy - jumped right in and volunteered himself to give the tour. It was the first tour he had ever given and he was great.
I was in a double kayak with my 9 year old niece; I did the majority of the paddling! Tommy was a wonderful guide with knowledge of the area. I would definitely come back in addition to recommending them to anyone who is looking for a fun, unique activity near the falls!
Great tour, Our guide took the time to allow us to explore the area and customized our trip based on our interests. He was very knowledgeable about the area and did a great job answering our questions.
I cannot wait to go back to kayak again. Thank you so much Dan for a great day!!!!
What a blast! We thoroughly enjoyed our kayak trip with Kevin. We went down the Niagara river and stopped at Strawberry Island for a light lunch (we brought our own food but Kevin packed some light snacks too). The island has a neat little bay area that was smooth as glass. Our trip back was great - downstream and downwind! On top of that, we weren't too sore the next day. Overall I highly recommend this tour if you are in the area.

Ringing in the ears can be completely normal or not. Everyone has a certain level of noise in their head, and you can hear it more clearly if you go into a quiet place where you're insulated from the usual sounds around you. Some people hear ringing that's louder than this usual level, which can be from any of the 4 parts of the ear: the outer, the inner, the middle, and the brain.
Unfortunately, as we age, we lose hearing and ringing is a part of this progress towards losing hearing in those sound frequencies. Loud sounds can make this normal process of losing hearing more accelerated, since loud noise damages the nerves associated with hearing.
Sometimes, other conditions cause ringing. Retained fluid (after infection, or sterile fluid with serous otitis), infection, or problems with the eardrum (tympanic membrane) or middle ear bones can cause ringing. less common causes are medications such as aspirin, Meniere's syndrome, aneurysms or acoustic tumors.
In any case, ringing that doesn't go away deserves a doctor's visit. Physical examination with tuning forks, audiometry, and additional radiographic tests can help rule out more serious rare causes.

This was my 50th birthday treat and I wanted something memorable, and this is certainly that. Everyday you get the most beautiful breakfasts and the views are simply stunning over the harbour. Loved my break and will be going back

Victor and Lisa are perfect hosts in one of the most beautiful spots in the world. They are friendly, helpful, and they will give you plenty of privacy. Victor makes delicious breakfasts every morning--he even made a particular local dish that we requested. One of the highlights of the trip was that we were the only guests on the boat. This made for excellent privacy and personalized service, and we had the deck to ourselves every evening. We stayed for our honeymoon, but this would be the perfect place for any vacation--it's reasonably priced and beautiful. Walking distance to some amazing restaurants, beaches, and architecture. If you stay, make sure to ask for the wine tour. They will drive you to one of the best wineries in Spain and you will get a small-group or personal tour of the facilities, plus a wine tasting with a trained sommelier. We would love to go back if we ever get the chance. -Jonathan and Ariel

We had such a lovely time, and Vick & Lisa made us feel really welcome. The boat was beautiful and we also went on a tour of the local area and a wine tasting which I would highly recommend. We ordered a romantic dinner on deck which was great as well. Fantastic holiday!!

My partner and I had a fantastic time aboard Willowmoon. The boat is beautiful and the owners made us feel very welcome with a glass of Cava on arrival. The exclusivity of having the guest area and the entire deck to ourselves was fantastic, and a full English breakfast certainly helped with that morning-after feeling! I will definitely be going back, and thoroughly recommend Willowmoon to anyone looking for a B&B with a difference

I know it's been awhile since Francois and I stayed, but I always look back fondly on our time there in May 2009. The breakfast frittatas were the best as well as the fruit cups. The tub was wonderful for daily bubble baths. Thanks for providing such great weather too! Sorry about forgetting to give you the cabin key back! Linda and Francois

Having been staying in the regular hotels for 4 months per year of business and leisure trips, it was a nice surprise to find "WillowMoon Bed and Breakfast" in the Barcelona Harbor. It has been a pleasant and unique experience staying there. WillowMoon is a cozy and lovely old-fashioned wooden boat anchored in the marina of Barcelona. The beauty of the history in her can be easily traced back in time, meanwhile she has been renovated to have modern and comfortable facilities. Since the room reservation is exclusively limited for one group of guests each time, it is perfect to maintain good privacy during the stay. The guest room is made of individual suite with a private entrance. Room is separated into two levels, a living/seating area on the top and bedroom/bathroom on the bottom. This separated arrangement makes the activities of the guests quiet and comfortable without interfering each another. Another special feature is its contemporary spacious bathtub that can overlook the nightly sky, which makes a romantic setting under the starring summer nights in Spain. The boat offers an amazing ocean view over the harbor as well as a city view of busy world along the sidewalk of the port: an interesting contrast in a harmony. Guests can get on to the most vibrant part of the city, or retreat back to the peaceful and isolated boathouse in a second. Breakfast and sunbath on the dock are relaxing and enjoyable. Overall, the decoration of the boathouse is elegant and tasteful. Located in the heart of Barcelona. Great safety with security guards, surveillance cameras and keypad gate pass to enter. The innkeeper Steve, is warm, very helpful and accommodating (and has a cute Scottish/British accent ¿). The service is proper and professional. The British style of breakfast is well prepared, nicely displayed, and delicious. I will definitely come back to WillowMoon again. Carolyn, from NIH-Washington DC and Boston, USA and Paris, France.

Fantastic Bed and Breakfast in Barcelona on an old wooden boat. Great location near the Born and Gotic areas and close to the beach. Very peaceful and romantic - there is even a bath aboard! Good breakfast served on deck in the sunshine. Highly recommended.
L'alloggio è composto della timoneria con un accogliente salotto, mini-frigo e bollitore per tè e caffè, così come stoviglie e posate ecc Sottocoperta la zona di baracca contiene un letto matrimoniale e un grande ancoraggio singolo, con abbondanza di spazio di archiviazione nella forma di un armadio, un cassetto e più ripiani. Molta luce naturale e aria fresca dai 2 lucernari e 4 oblò rendono la cabina confortevole anche in estate. Un bagno en-suite allegato contiene un WC, lavandino e vasca ad angolo con attacco doccia, e offre una splendida vista del cielo azzurro sopra via altri 2 lucernari.

K100 with 100k miles DC to Panama
I'm pretty sure it will make it. The bike only has a hundred thousand miles, it isn't all that many... The flying bricks are indestructible. Its been meticulously maintained. That was all the rationalizing that I needed. Solo to Panama. I started in DC the first week of September and here I am sitting in Panama City.
The bike: 1985 BMW K100, somewhere around 100k miles. Its the second speedo (the previous owner estimated it around there from the service records).
I couldn't be more happy with how she performed. Never let me down, no issues the entire way. It refused to electric start twice (water got somewhere) but it started rolling with the help of a couple locals pushing me down the street. It dried out and hasn't come up again.
Starting in Washington DC. The first stop would be the Outer Banks, NC to spend a little time with the family. I would plan the way down to the Mexico from there.
The beginning, Washington DC.
It was a pleasant ride down to OBX. I've done it many times before in a car, but cruising over the causeway on a bike was much preferred.
I have to say that Ocracoke still holds a certain allure no matter how many beaches I visit.
Family vacation is over, time for the real adventure. I drove across the entirety of NC in a day. Stayed just outside of Great Smokey National Park.
From there it was just outside of Memphis TN, my plan was to do the states quickly and spend the majority of my time in Mexico and Central America. Decided to travel to Dallas in two days and found my way to Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas. A cool area once you get by all the urban sprawl. Not sure if the spring water helped fuel my ride, but it couldn't have done any harm.
The row of bathhouses from where the hot springs are drawn.
The men's changing room, not too shabby. The entire area has this great throwback feel to it.
Hot spring fountains dot the area.
Camping at De Gray Lake, Arkansas
Made it down to Texas and spend a few days with a cousin. The BBQ places were great down there. Anyone else have a love affair with a Dirty Love Burger? Who doesn't love giant spurs along the sidewalks?
Cruising down to Corpus Christi, I'm anxious to get out of the states and into Mexico. The last night in the states before making the jump south of the border.
The continuation of the trip will be added in the following days as I'm sitting around Panama City trying to sell her and catch a sailboat to Colombia. If anyone wants to meet up I'm at Luna's Castle in Casco Viejo. Yeah, I'm prepared for some flack of not continuing on, but Christmas beckons.

Great report
I had a K100. Great MC. Mine had 70K when I traded it to a Dr in FA for a CR500. It will make it fine. You have a tire kit right? Fuel pump mucho beuno? Tires bueno?
Have fun, stand by to be chastised for not wearing pants and boots.

And 2-up no less
My first trip to MX was on a 1985 K100RT. As you have stated bulit proof, the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. In over 100,000 mi. I have never had a passenger.
How does the bike handle 2up?
Did you have any problems with vapor lock/overheating.
After my last few vacations with the Gs's I am considering using the K bike on my next trip.
Truly an epic trip looking foreward to more!

Thanks for the kind words! Glad to see other K travelers out there.
The bike performed well with Cindy on the back, she really started to enjoy herself as time went on. After we got her over squeezing the hell out of me during crazy situations everything was good. Nothing like avoiding a car/landslide/animal while in a death lock hug. It was my first experience riding two up for such long distances, stopping is slower, a bit more unwieldy going slow, you adjust. I think some basic passenger advice before getting them on is important. Lean with me, if we go down just stay on the bike and don't try to keep us upright using your legs, etc.
I was never for lack of power even climbing the steepest grades which was awesome. Steep grades can be a real pain in the ass because there are no passing sections and there are always rows of trucks chugging along at 10mph spewing tons of diesel smoke. The trick is to pass as many trucks at once an oncoming car or truck forces you back over. The craziest pass I remember was passing a semi that was also passing a semi all around a curve. It just wouldn't have been possible without the hp I had on tap. I rode with the Seguin brothers for a time and it really made me appreciate the K100 all that much more. More on that later.
I think the Corbin seat is a must on the K bikes; mine also had the small sissy bar which gave Cindy a lot more comfort and security. She could just lean back and enjoy the ride without me leaving her behind when I'd jump off the line.
As for the vapor lock, I never had an issue with it. I had read quite a bit on it. Maybe it is more of a problem on the faired bikes? While the wind protection would have been nice, I've heard they just roast you. I was more worried about the electronics, all that heavy rain really made me nervous.
I've always liked classic cars/bikes. It's easy to get caught up with the latest and greatest. Nitpicking about this and that, in the end it's always more about the ride than the bike or the destination. On some of the rougher sections Nate and I would be in the frame of mind of 'shit, let's just do it'

The next day we made our way into Nicaragua. Just before the border Nate and Lindsey split off and entered a bit further east. They wanted some custom made leather boots, which they heard were quite cheap to have made in Nicaragua. We'd meet up randomly on the island of Ometepe. We never really made plans to meet somewhere, it would just happen.
Cindy and I pushed on to Leon where we stayed at a cool little hotel that had turtles walking around its courtyard. Cindy's flight was two days out and we spent a peaceful couple days walking around Leon before making a break for Managua so she could catch her flight. We didn't really get ourselves much time to get her to the airport so it was a mad dash. I got pulled over at a speed trap the local cops had setup. About four of them sitting around radar gunning, I passed in a no passing zone. Which I did, but there was a plane to catch. With so many of them together, it made it difficult for me to bribe. Basically I just told them I have to catch a flight that leaves in an hour, threw down a $20 on their trunk and said I'm paying my ticket now! They wanted more; I told them it's all I had. It was the most expensive bribe of the trip. We barely made it to the airport. Say our goodbyes and away she goes. I'm on my own again.
Just inside Nicaragua
Nice courtyard at the hotel
Grounds Keeper
My next destination was Granada for a few days then I wanted to catch the ferry to Ometepe. I proceeded to get pulled over three more times going to Granada. It was ridiculous, the first time I didn't come to a complete stop at a stop sign, the second time I didn't use my turn signal while making a turn, the last time I didn't even let him tell me what I did wrong. I was so pissed off at this point I just pulled out 5 bucks held it up, told the guy that I didn't care what infraction he was going to make up, this was the third time being stopped in 2 hours, and told him to take the money ladrón. He did, I sped off. It was almost refreshing just cutting through the bullshit story and saving myself 10 minutes of pissing around.
Granada was alright, the nice colonial part of town seemed a bit sterile for me in a way. One big tourist strip, I got the picture of the yellow cathedral and continued on.
Pain in the ass getting the bike on this little boat heading for Ometepe. The ferry was done running so this was it. I love the sense of adventure of pushing a bike onto a boat with a 2x8x12 one mishap and my bike is on the bottom of the lake.
It was a pleasant ride across.
Here is the island. I really grew attached to it after a few days. The locals are much more laid back than the rest of Nicaragua.
Its night by the time we make the trip, upon lifting the bike down the workers sheer off the gear shift lever. Great. I end up searching around for someone that can weld in town. Yes, on the BMW its aluminum, no one has the ability to weld it, which I kind of figured. Eventually find a mechanic that knows the owner of the local motorcycle shop. It's late, I'm beat. We take a Kawasaki shifter, widen the opening and make it work. I roll into a hostel, drink a liter of beer and pass out.
Next day I decide to do a bit of riding around the island. I need to get out of the town where the ferry docks and decide to ride to the other volcano. These two separate volcanoes are joined by a strip of land that created one large island. I found this great place to stay right on the lake front, the sound of the waves was great in the evenings.
Remember that tropical depression? It dumped here as well, the lake was really high.
I did a bit of swimming, it was a hell of a lot of fun. There are actually sharks in the lake. Bull sharks can swim up river like a salmon to enter the lake. I thought the locals were just messing with me but I later checked it out to be true...
The hotel was on the north side of the east island. The owner was this nice middle aged man that enjoyed talking to me about the German girls that also were staying there. The best part about this was the fact that I was the only guest that spoke Spanish and we would be having this daily conversation with everyone around, including the German girls. The conversation normally turned to how white their skin was, the color of their eyes, their breasts, ass and legs. I encouraged this behavior of course, and told him that the shorter one would sometimes look at him while he was working. I told him that German girls were very strong and powerful, he agreed and his mind wandered.
There were three Irish guys staying there as well from Wexford, Ireland. I grew up in Wexford, PA outside of Pittsburgh. Much drinking ensued. These boys could drink; luckily I had been prepping for this moment since beginning this trip. In the end everyone either passed out or went to bed and it was just me sitting outside. I took a last shot of whiskey just because and went to bed.
A sloppy night, here they are singing "The Boys of Wexford" everyone got a bit choked up as it was a bit emotional. It commemorates the Irish Rebellion of 1798. It was quite amazing bringing together Wexford boys from two different continents.
'We are the boys of Wexford,
Who fought with heart and hand
To burst in twain the galling chain
And free our native land.'
This version is pretty close. It really takes me back.
All of us did an 8 hour volcanic hike the next morning, god knows why. We didn't realize that they weren't going to serve us breakfast as part of the deal and found ourselves with no food the entire day. Made for an interesting day, someone had a can of coke which we split amongst all 8 of us. The taller German girl bitched the entire time.
On the way up
A break
Amazing view before going into the clouds
Dense Jungle
No doubt it was a tough hike. Here is the truck on the way back
The tall one, always so pleasant.
Nate and Lindsey showed up the following day having spotted my bike from the road. Everyone else was headed toward San Juan Del Sur. Nate, Lindsey and I would catch up with them down there but first we discovered a yearly festival on the island with a rodeo. Next post, a raging bull nearly destroyed both of our bikes and we accidentally ate horse.

Nate, Lindsie and I decided to try to ride around the east island. The road conditions where terrible. When we were nearly at the point of calling it a day we turned a corner and found a ton of people mingling around. Jackpot.
Large tented areas had been setup, girls were all wearing their finest, and the men were all drunk. Not realizing at first what was going on we pulled off and decided to partake in the festivities. Beers were promptly ordered from the typical Rubbermaid outdoor chairs which had years of dirt and grime built up. A rodeo area had been setup in the center of the action, couldn't wait to see what would be going down. The amount of drunks around was pretty intense, it was early in the afternoon and the locals were drinking what appeared to be homemade hard alcohol. Apparently this happens on the weekends one month out of the year, it celebrates a patron saint so we were lucky to have seen this.
Nate and I were particularly hungry, the waitress said that the only thing they had left was something that sounded like mabeyo. Some of the locals had a thick accent which made understanding them nearly impossible for any of us. "Sure whatever we'll take that, two plates."
Later the plates come back with meat that I didn't recognize, it was particularly pungent and not looking all that appetizing. After having a couple bites, I couldn't get any more down, nor could Nate. It dawned on me that she was saying Caballo. Horse. I imagine it must have been some ancient work horse recently (or not so recently) deceased and now sitting on my plate.
About this same time, a random guy came up and told us something about our motorcycle. I couldn't understand a damn thing he was saying. We responded yeah those were our bikes parked on the side of the road on the edge of a gully. He came back about 5 minutes later excitedly saying something about our motorcycles again. "Yeah, they are fine."
The entire trip people would always talk about the bikes so we just brushed it off as that. A few minutes after that an American girl who was volunteering on the island told us that the locals kept saying that we had to move our bikes, there was a crowd gathering around the street and the excitement level was growing. People were yelling, shouting, and generally carrying on. We decided that it was a good time to move them after all the insistence.
There was a massive amount of people gathered now all of whom were completely wasted. We were a bit tipsy ourselves and weren't planning on getting on the bikes for a while. We fired them up, moved them off by an open area where some other cars were parked. As we are dismounting, cowboys were trotting around the road, whistling and yelling. The crowd roared, it was hitting a crescendo. There must have been around 500 people lined up on both sides of the road. The three of us weren't sure what the hell was going down, and we were starting to get a bit worried.
Out of nowhere, running down the street a group of really pissed off bulls! WTF. The cowboys have been provoking them all morning it seemed and they were in a state of blood lust. Right where our motorcycles previously were, the biggest of the bulls goes apeshit. A small vendor stand is absolutely gored. Potato chips and plastic bottles go flying as the entire stand is flipped over and rolls down into the gully. I have visions of the motorcycles being tossed into the ditch. The bull snorts and kicks into the soil looking for more. The three of us look at each other.
The crowd cheers and the cowboys lasso the bull and begin getting in under control. Eventually the mini running of the bulls ends and the rodeo starts. We buy tickets and take our spot in the crowd, not really sure what we paid money to see. The local men proceeded to ride the bulls, the macho young men of the community are showing off for the young ladies.
The thing is, the bulls are just field animals, thrown into the ring once a year, much to their own dismay I'm sure. Once on top the men would cattleprod the bulls into a fury so they would be more entertaining. This went on for quite some time. All the riders were shitfaced, and I hoped that a bull would get a piece of one or two of the dumb asses that kept provoking them.
A good day to ride.
This is the dominant bull, the one that thrashed the cart.
The crowd. I nearly expected the stands to fall into the ring and all hell break loose.
Beers and bull riding.
Might be fitting to put in what my Che shirt says.
"Muchos me dirán aventurero, y lo soy,
sólo que de un tipo diferente:
De los que ponen el pellejo
para demostrar sus verdades"
"Many will call me an adventurer, and I am,
only in a different type:
Of those who risk their skins
to demonstrate your truths"
Here is a video of the rodeo ring. Link to my picasa page, will embed it shortly.
The next day we decided to head back to the mainland. Nate and Lindsie had their boots to pick up and I decided to reconvene with the Irish in San Juan del Sur. This time the big ferry was running and it was going to make life a lot easier getting the bikes across the lake. Turns out we had another adventure before getting onto the ferry. The lake was so high that it flooded the entryway onto the ferry. It had been high for a few days now and the normally clean cement now had a layer of algae slime. The locals weren't sure we could make it across as the water was fairly deep in some parts.
Soon enough we had an audience building to see the riding of the gringos through the lake. Always a spectacle. We talked to a truck driver who was also boarding and thought it best for him to go first so we could see how high the water came up on his truck. It was deep, but we thought we could do it. By this point there was no turning back, I'm not one to let down a crowd and i liked the thought of the badassness of riding through two and a half feet of water to get on a ferry. The muffler on our bikes were quiet low and really didn't want to stop and get it stalled in front of the crowd.
Wait we have to ride through that to get on the ferry?
I got a bit carried away and gave a lot of throttle at the end, you can hear the exhaust and can see the back end come out as I showboated. Glad I got it back under control...

I love to watch Sanders wrestle, but it will frustrate the heck out of me if he does something dumb.
Tip for Sanders:
Trap Robles' leg. Work away from his massive upper body.
Should that come as a surprise for anyone at 125 this year?
I love to watch Sanders wrestle, but it will frustrate the heck out of me if he does something dumb.
Tip for Sanders:
Trap Robles' leg. Work away from his massive upper body.
Should that come as a surprise for anyone at 125 this year?
125: #2 Anthony Robles (Arizona State) v. #4 Zach Sanders (Minnesota)
I was there when Robles got a hold of Sanders wrist @ NCAA's and worked him over good. I also was wondering if anyone remembers the bad sportsmanship from Sanders after that match? I wills ay Sanders tried to make right and I do think it was a fluke incident. I think Robles is going to have a more difficult time this season as he is high on people's "watch" list. Sanders wins this match early in the season by DEC.
133: #4 Steve Bell (Maryland) v. #5 Daniel Dennis (Iowa)
Dennis gets a workmanlike 6-2 victory over Bell who will not All American this year.
141: #2 Nick Gallick (Iowa State) v. #3 Alex Krom (Maryland)
Gallick pins Krom in a wierd fashion.
149: Metcalf
157: #1 Jordan Burroughs (Nebraska)
Burroughs does the business from one knee and gets atleast 5 TD's in a MD against Moley
165: #4 Jon Reader (Iowa State) v. #6 Andy Rendos (Bucknell)
Reader wins as Rendos has his usual early season troubles.
174: #2 Chris Henrich (Virginia)* v. ???
Not sure who he is going against, but I'm betting against Henrich
184: #4 Max Askren (Missouri) v. #5 Josh Patterson)
One of the better match ups of the night. Askren shows why he should have been @ 184 the whole time and picks up a DEC.
197: #1 Jake Varner (Iowa State) v. #2 Craig Brester (Nebraska)
Varner in a yawner.
285: #1 Mark Ellis (Missouri) v. #5 David Zabriskie (Iowa State)
Big Z in a snooze fest
I wish I could kick Matt Dragon in the balls. In his Dragonballz.
Give me Sanders over Robles in the rubber match
Dennis over Bell (who wont AA this year) in a match that is low scoring and pretty boring
Gallick over Krom 2 TDs to 0
Burroughs in dominant fashion, although I dont know if he gets the major
Reader by 6
Patterson by world shocking Pin
Varner by a TD
Z in the last 30 seconds of the match. Or possibly OT
Gold is an idiot.
133 - You have a valid point in that Bell didn't beat any seeded wrestlers last year, though coming from the 12th seed himself seems to be overlooked. Also ignored is his larger body of work, especially his first trip to the NCAAs when he won three bouts and knocked two returning AAs from the tournament.
Bell is fully healthy and is one of four Terps capable of reaching the NCAA finals this year, though 133 is the deepest weight of any of the four. Bell will likely finish as a high AA.
Bell repeats his win over Dennis from last year.
141 - Gallick beat Krom in last year's consolation semis, so your prediction isn't unreasonable. The mental aspect of coming back from losing in the semis in your first trip to the NCAAs is a tough hurdle to overcome.
Alex doesn't have that hurdle this time around - Krom wins.
174 - I'll go with the second best 174 pounder in the ACC to win.
"Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government!?
I would bet the farm he will not make the finals. I'm really not sure he'll AA again...leaning towards no.
Your case for Krom is that because he made the semis and lost, this gives him a mental edge over a guy who placed higher than him? Not to mention a guy who beat him last year.
To avoid criticism say nothing, do nothing, be nothing.

Being in San Diego is my dream and it's very satisfying knowing that each day I wake up, I get to live the dream. I spend a lot of time outdoors, mostly at the beach swimming. I love finding new places to hike and swim. I play on sports teams with my friends, which is always a nice way to get out during the week. My dog is my best friend and greatest companion. When I'm not walking with her, my favorite way to unwind is reading, I am into novels and non-fiction. I am a teacher and I devote myself to my students and community, continuous self-improvement is a core value. My single greatest priority is education. I have traveled and studied in various parts of the world, a big piece of self-growth is travel and I have been fortunate enough to have and make these opportunities. I love to eat and I love to laugh! Show me a youtube video of someone falling down and I'll be rolling on the floor. In my partner I need someone who values education, hard-work, has goals and works towards those goals. I need someone to make me laugh, especially during tough times like parent-teacher conferences! I need someone who is consistent, honest and patient. Must love sports, the beach and dogs!

Here are the words of the man himself, speaking at a press conference after an owners meeting. Maverick Carter is really steamed somewhere after hearing this. Dan Gilbert was less steamed and more poor.

Actually, he was more critical of James's advice group than he was of James. And giving a fine to Gilbert, speaks for itself. As an owner, he is going to regret that email for years to come unless he somehows clear the air with James.

Amazing how Dan Gilbert can be fined for saying what needed to be said, but the Miami Heat can't be fined for tampering, which everyone knows they did.

You can't blame the man for wanting to leave — everyone knows that Ohio is death to ANY pro-team. The only team that wins in Ohio, and then not recently, is Ohio State; the whole state is cursed.
Oh and Yesse — You're a dang race baiting fool.

When Huron firefighter Matt Meyer and police officer Nate Orzech were called on the carpet for conspiring to beat a blood pressure test and qualify for a wellness credit under the city's health plan, fellow officers spoke up about the subterfuge. They said Meyer gave Orzech a nitroglycerin pill to temporarily lower his blood pressure.
Huron city manager called in an outside investigator who determined the duo had, indeed, committed serious infractions.
White imposed a 45-day suspension without pay on both of the individuals, saying they were exemplary employees before this infraction.
Agree or disagree with the outcome, this incident was handled with speed and efficiency.
Contrast this to Sandusky which has had three Community Development employees on PAID leave since Nov. 16 and, recently, added the chief of police to the list of those whose wages and health care benefits go on while the investigation into their alleged wrongdoing creeps along.
Meyer and Orzech will probably be back on the job serving the people of Huron before Sandusky gets its city hall mess straightened out.

Athletic accolades:
Four-time letterman in softball and three-time letterman in volleyball and basketball. In softball was second-team all-conference outfielder as a freshman, honorable mention all-conference catcher as a sophomore and second-team all-conference as a catcher as a junior. Second-team all-conference in volleyball as a junior and senior.
Academic honors:

Volunteer work:
Youth at Trinity Lenten Soup Suppers; landscaping in New Orleans; Youth basketball and volleyball camps; Humane Society; spanish tutor; Baking Gals (sending goods to Soldiers); Planning for Volley for the Cure; planning for Wausau West softball in supporting the Special Olympics
Favorite high school sports memory:
My favorite high school sports memories are my trips to Madison for the state softball tournament in 2008 and the state basketball tournament in 2010. Going to a state tournament is something that many high school athletes never get the chance to experience and the fact that I got to go twice is such a blessing.
Advice for an aspiring high school athlete:
School comes first. Although athletics are no doubt the fun part of the day you also have to be at school for seven hours everyday. We are known as student/athletes, and that's exactly what it is, student-then athlete. This is how I see it: education and athletics. You can't have one without the other.
Who was your inspiration for your high school career:
My parents. My parents were both very good athletes and have always been supportive of everything I have done. They are not overly involved parents, and they never critiqued every little thing about my game. They have always helped me improve in my physical game, but more importantly, my mental game.
College plans:
Attend the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire to major in athletic training, and will also be playing for the Blugold softball team.

Originally written on Sox and Dawgs | Last updated 6/25/12
On a day where Cody Ross hit two home runs to help the Boston Red Sox to a 9-4 win over the Atlanta Braves, you would think that was the biggest story of the day. Or that Aaron Cook had a serviceable outing and the bullpen picked him up with four solid innings. Nope, the big story of the day was the fact it was the last game that Kevin Youkilis played in a Red Sox uniform. With his playing time limited due to the emergence of Will Middlebrooks and the outfield getting healthy again, something had to be done by the front office. While we had all thought something was going to happen, I don't think any of us wanted to believe it. Youk's been a mainstay in the Red Sox lineup since 2006 but spent 2004 and 2005 with the Red Sox as well. While he didn't play in the 2004 World Series, he did play in the ALDS that year. When the Red Sox acquired Mike Lowell before the 2006 season, Youk moved from third base to first. In his second year at first base, he won the Gold Glove while he...

30 year old woman | Phoenix, AZ, USA | Seeking men 25-35
[Insert creative/catchy title here!]
I am 28 years old and a graduate student going for my masters in social work. I LOVE what I am studying, although the work load can sometimes get overwhelming. I do work part-time to pay my bills:) I am more quiet and reserved than most people, but open up as I get to know someone. I am an odd combination of sweet and sarcastic- I try to keep the two in balance, but if you don't like some sarcasm every now and then, I'm probably not the one for you:) I love to travel, both domestically and abroad, but since I've been in school 6 of the last 8 years (undergrad and then back to grad school), funding for travel has been very limited:( I love watching most sports, especially football (Colts and Notre Dame). Also enjoy watching the Indiana Fever play, although the massive amount of injuries they are dealing with this year are kind of discouraging (not to mention that the WNBA refs are, umm, lets just say not stellar this year). I'm also an IU basketball fan, although I don't get to watch the games much anymore:( I can honestly say that I am happy with where my life is. I definitely have days where I get frustrated with things, but life is good. It is such an awesome thing to know that you are where you are supposed to be, doing what you are meant to do. It's been a while since I've been in a relationship, but I think that I am at the point in my life where I can be in a relationship and be an equal partner. I am pretty liberal and open to differing opinions in a lot of respects, but one area where I am very traditional in is sex outside of marriage. I feel like the Bible is very clear in that respect and am not willing to compromise to fit in with today's culture. Does that mean I am against holding hands, kissing, etc? No. But I do feel like it is important that, as a Christian couple, boundaries are set that both people are comfortable with. I just moved to Phoenix and know no one heret, so I would love to make new friends! Also, feel free to ask me anything, cause I'm not always real good at talking about/describing myself:) Any recommendations for churches in the northern part of Phoenix are appreciated:)

Free Classroom Joke – "A Moral Lesson"
A mother was preparing pancakes for her sons, Kenny 5, and Tom 3. The boys began to argue over who would get the first pancake. Their mother saw the opportunity for a moral lesson. 'If Jesus were sitting here, He would say,'Let my brother have the first pancake, I can wait.' Kenny turned to his younger brother and said,' Tom, you be Jesus !'

They say necessity is the mother of invention â€" or reinvention.
As a bluegrass artist, I've got to agree.
Brandi Hart is singer, songwriter, and guitarist with The Dixie Bee-Liners.
By Brandi Hart (2009)
Looking to finally nab that wrapped tour bus for your bluegrass band? Seeking corporate sponsorship for your event? Searching for the perfect artist to be an ambassador for your product, or for the best way to stretch your advertising dollars? If any of these goals has appeared on your to-do list, then chances are good that market research could help you get the job done.
Since 2001, IBMA has engaged the services of Experian Simmons (previously known as Simmons Market Research Bureau) to provide market research tailored to the needs of the bluegrass community. Experian Simmons provides IBMA with an annually updated, comprehensive database of consumer habits. This data allows IBMA members to learn about the consumers and markets they want to reach.Â
IBMA Executive Director Dan Hays notes, "People on the marketing side of bluegrass will ask themselves, 'Who am I talking to out there? I need to understand who my audience is so that I can know best how to appeal to them.'â€
OK, you may be saying to yourself, I know my audience. Perhaps you've even attended an IBMA seminar on the Simmons research or culled through its annual summary of market data. Alternatively, you may have been in the business of bluegrass so long that you're familiar with your core customer base.Â
If you know your audience and would like to partner with another company to grow your business, your next step is to look for a partner that fits. The award-winning Grascals landed a high-profile sponsorship deal with Mayberry's Finest Brand Foods which lasted nearly two years. When asked for advice on finding the right partner company, The Grascals' manager Nick Pellegrino remarks, "You've got to look at what it is that a company is trying to sell, and determine whether it goes along with what you believe in and what you use.â€Â Pellegrino adds, "There's an integrity issue there, as
well. The Grascals probably wouldn't have taken a sponsorship from a cigarette company because no one in the band smokes. The band needed to find something that made sense, but at the same time maintained the integrity of the brand.â€
Note Pellegrino's use of the word "brand†to describe one of our genre's most popular acts. Whether you're a manufacturer, a promoter, an artist or a member of the media, it's important to think of your company as a brand. Ask yourself: Are there ways to build my brand while fulfilling the needs of a company who can help me grow? Are there idealistic, thematic or goal-related ties to other companies out there which could lead to a mutually beneficial relationship?Â
Once you've identified the needs that your brand can fulfill for another company, you must demonstrate those needs in a compelling way. "Most corporations are going to tell you that the numbers don't justify the investment,†says Pellegrino. "You have to be able to justify why it makes sense for them to do a sponsorship with you. Are you reaching a demographic that they need or that they already exist in? The compensation for them has got to be substantial if you're asking them to write you a check.â€
This is where market research data comes in handy. The Experian Simmons data empowers the bluegrass community to say to a potential sponsor, "We are your customers,†or "We could be yourcustomersâ€â€"and to back up that statement with compelling statistics.Â
Hays explains, "One of the things that the data will portray is what we call variants from the norm. Either we will have a higher proclivity to do something or a lower proclivity to do something. We're 92% more likely to use Martha White flour than the average American. That's a high variance, based on their brand's long association and support of the music. That makes a difference going into someone like Martha White to make a presentation, and being able to say, 'We are your audience.' â€
However, the data is a double-edged sword. "From the opposite perspective,†Hays explains, "you could go into another flour company and say, 'We are flour users; we're just using another brand.'â€Â In other words, you're demonstrating an untapped market.Â
To create the perfect pitch for a partnership, your best bet is to get specific. "It's a lot easier to for me to help people if they come to me with specific questions,†notes IBMA Administrative Assistant Jess Norburg.
