Lara and Canelo fight will happen with Canelo at 178 lbs and Lara 154 (>20 lbs). GB, HBO and all mafias know that Canelo would be easy schooled…that's why De la Hoya will never put his most overrated cash cow in front of a much better boxer without a big weight's difference.Posted March 17, 2014 11:29 am
Sounds like floyd MO never faces anyone who can beat him hahahahaPosted March 15, 2014 7:41 pm
GGG just was called out by Lara to no avail. Ward just SAID that he will face GGG right NOW too to no avail. GGG doesn't want to face guys who have the potential to beat him.Posted March 15, 2014 5:52 pm
GGG will fight Lara anytime a promoter makes a great offer… He'll hook the living crap out of him and knock him cold as well…
And GGG will K Floyd TFO too… if Floyd gets big and brave about fighting a truly great fighter like Lara, GGG, Pacquiao, or Garcia — instead putz pieces like Maidana and Khan.Posted March 15, 2014 3:35 pm

You were the fool that said Marquez was made to come up from fly when pacs smaller than Marquez just got more balls, fighting a bum Alvarado hahaPosted March 14, 2014 7:35 pm
I didn't say fly was his natural idiot I said PAC has come up 7 at welter floyd only 5 at junior middle, why would PAC fight Canelo 8 divisions up when floyd couldn't even fight him at junior middle merely a poor catch weight no better than margarito you muppetPosted March 14, 2014 7:30 pm
te tumbo
AZZBOX, Pacquiao* has never dominated or unified a single weight-class even though he's fought in at least seven (that catchweight bout v. Margarito hardly qualifies as a jr. middle campaign). also, you sound like juvenile Pactard* trying to convince me that flyweight(?!?) is actually Pacquiao's* natural fighting weight. feather or lightweight is more like it but he couldn't even unify at 135lbs like Marquez did. Btw, stop trying to pretend that Marquez wasn't considered the "older", "slower", and "smaller" fighter in every matchup v. Pacquiao* above 130lbs and all Marquez did when he FLATTENED Pacquiao* was KTFO of a fellow feather at welterish. perhaps the only welter that Marquez could ever KO.Posted March 14, 2014 5:24 pm
Dumbo PAC is naturally lighter than Marquez you fool. And PAC is up 8 divisions at 154 may weather is only 5. PAC has dominated at 147 which is 7 divisions from his starting weight lets see mayweather dominate 7 divisions up. Haha yeh he ain't that good. Why would he mention Canelo who should be at 160Posted March 14, 2014 5:08 pm
The scorecards aside….Posted March 14, 2014 4:42 pm
Te Tumbo setting the scorecards I agree with you that Canelo showed a sizable difference between his and Trouts boxing ability. It was Trouts workrate combined with Canelo gassing that made the fight close on the cards.Posted March 14, 2014 4:41 pm
te tumbo
"There's no reason to believe Canelo can beat Pac". Yes there is. Pacquiao* never mentions him even though that is definitely a bigger and more prestigious payday than anything he could score at welter. Pacquiao* wouldn't last seven rounds v. a 154lb Canelo. of course, Manny* can't convincingly defeat fellow featherweight Marquez at 147ishlbs and would never dare face a full-fledged 154lbr like Floyd already has three times while remaining Undefeated.Posted March 14, 2014 4:39 pm
te tumbo
Molina humiliated Lara; Vanes intimidated him; and a depleted and sluggish Angulo Dropped him twice. Lara is no mystery or phenom. he's a legitimate contender but he's not dominating any elite-level comp and struggles v. the B-list. Btw, Mayweather has already defeated the best 154lbr out there. Lara has yet to prove he's better than Molina or that much better than Vanes or Angulo.Posted March 14, 2014 4:36 pm
There's no reason to believe Canelo can beat Pac. Canelo would allow Pac the space to do what he does. Canelos a confused fighter in his mind hes a boxer but he has the body of a brawler. When Canelo shows the ability to pressure I'll change my mind. Until then Pac would rip his face open. Laras a different story his size and boxing ability would be to much for Pac. I find it crazy that Laras power is being questioned he made a world class tough guy quit in Angulo who by the way lost every round he didn't score a kd in. Laras kd of Trout scared me I like Trout and was genuinely concerned for him Lara hurt him bad. Floyd didn't shut Canelo out Lara would.Posted March 14, 2014 4:35 pm
te tumbo
REM, Canelo's domination of Trout was as thorough as Mayweather's of Guerrero. Trout could barely lay a glove on Canelo whose neo-like moves had him missing punches in bunches. I'm talking 5, 10, 15 at a time(?!). "shocked" is the word Trout himself used to describe the experience. never mind the scorecards. Trout was OwneD by Canelo, plain and simple.Posted March 14, 2014 4:33 pm
Lara would torch Floyd. When up against a fast slick southpaw Floyd is lost on the outside like he was against Zab. Whats Floyd gonna do walk Lara down ROTF. Lara would humiliate Floyd at his own game. For Christ sake Spadfora did the same thing to Floyd. Floyd is not as cagey against southpaws and puts himself in positions to be countered.Posted March 14, 2014 4:12 pm
Canelo became delusional beating up on journeyman WWs. Canelo shouldve known that since only the kd gave him a close victory against Trout he wasn't able to box with Floyd. I mean Christ even if he could why completely give away your best advantage size. Floyd has handled hard charging punchers well but none of them were C anelos size nor did they possess his natural punching gifts.Posted March 14, 2014 4:07 pm
Hecdog – my friend, i respect the way you stand by your man manny. But to think he can beat any elite 154lb fighter like canelo or lara is just plain crazy! He prob wont beat Bradley. Got smashed by jmm. Lara shoulda got k.o. by angulo! Canelo is a finisher. Is canelo hurts lara he is done! Lara doesn't have enough power for canelo to respect him! Canelo will eventually break him down and k.o. him. Oh and manny is the best! Lol. Just ask hecdog! LolPosted March 14, 2014 3:58 pm
Floyd loses to Lara 10 out of 10 times. Beat him easily by outboxing him too, and keeping him on the end of his Jab. Money would never take that fight, unless he weakens Lara making him go to 147..Posted March 14, 2014 3:02 pm
te tumbo
Canelo simply became too pleased with his boxing-punching domination of Trout and Mayweather is notorious for outsmarting hard-charging punchers. accordingly, Team Alvarez erroneously concluded that Canelo was capable of handling and outboxing a smaller and older Floyd, which is not the preferred fight-plan v. a still-prime Mayweather. he can't be outclassed, outsmarted, or outboxed by any welter or 154lbr.Posted March 14, 2014 2:57 pm
If Canelo had the ability to pressure he would've done it to Floyd as sound of a technical boxer as there ever was. So either he took a dive against Floyd or he doesn't have the ability to pressure. As of right now since he hasn't shown the ability to pressure I have to assume Lara bakes him.Posted March 14, 2014 1:43 pm

difference is that #1 P4P Mayweather is notorious for outclassing and outsmarting hard-charging punchers. Lara is becoming notorious for NOT being able to contain hard-charging punchers. Canelo can employ both styles and would choose accordingly and predictably v. Lara. placing powershots with urelenting accuracy. Lara can't and won't stand-up to that for 10 rounds. he'll go down.Posted March 14, 2014 11:23 am
The problem is Canelo isn't hard charging. He tried to box Floyd hes definitely gonna try to box Lara and get schooled. Thats if GB ever allows the fight which they won't.Posted March 14, 2014 11:14 am
te tumbo
Lara wouldn't have lasted beyond 10 v. Canelo last weekend. he lacks he ability to make hard-charging opponents respect his space, which is why the likes of Molina, Williams, Vanes, and Angulo were in his grill each and evey round. none of those guys hit with the precision, velocity, and power as Canelo who also has a solid beard. he's shrugged-off flush-shots so casually, that it's obvious few are noticing. Canelo "shocked" Trout; pounded Angulo; and will trample Lara who lacks the ability to discourage hard-charging fighters.Posted March 14, 2014 10:47 am

Lara will beat Canelo any day of the week. Canelo won't dare ask for Lara. Canelo does not have the technique or experience to deal with a complicated southpaw that will make him miss. Lara is a true technician. Don't let Lara's performance against Angulo give you false confidence. Lara as well as other good technical boxer have a cake walk against boxers like Canelo. Angulo is tough, and sometimes you get caught with his style of fighting. As we saw, Canelo gets hit with jabs by Floyd and Angulo. Trust me, he won't be trying to show off his defense against Lara. Lara UD or late stoppage. Canelo is good. Lara i just better.Posted March 14, 2014 2:18 am
Boxtra you eat Lara's willy all day now your bagging him. Floyd is a 147 fighter or he would fight the other good guys at 154, he doesn't deserve the belts at 54 if he can't defend it once a yearPosted March 14, 2014 2:11 am
Lara doesn't beat GGG, he will struggle against Canelo but would be a great great fightPosted March 14, 2014 2:08 am
Trout won almost every round from Cotto…
Lara won every round from a highly motivated Trout.
I scored Lara-Trout 120-107.. I was amazed.. Trout said he was going to "get rid" of Lara and that he had his best camp.. Trout couldn't even hit Lara. All the sparring Lara has gotten from the Charlo bros is like money in the bank.. He's damned lucky in a way.. There is no way you can buy sparring like that.

Good for Lara, but he's a little overrated at this point. He got beat by Williams and failed to beat Vanes and Molina. 3G would smash Lara into next week and Canelo would likely hammer him silly as well. You can bet that Canelo will try to a get a championship fight with Lara — now that he's been awarded the WBA. (He saw how Perro won 4 out of 10 rounds vs. Lara and darn near KO'd him. Saul also knows he won every round vs. Angulo and battered him around the ring with ease.)Posted March 13, 2014 10:37 pm

Lara definitely deserves to be THE WBA CHAMPION. That will provide him some much needed help in getting big fights, but I still believe the top guys will avoid him as long as they can. I would love to see Lara vs Canelo, GGG, or Mayweather.Posted March 13, 2014 9:40 pm
Sometimes this is OK. If fighters are avoiding too much then someone has to intervene.Posted March 13, 2014 9:35 pm

Lara does not know his history. Robinson avoided Charley Burley and Louis only dealt with Walcott when Walcott was past his prime.Posted March 13, 2014 8:55 pm
I would agree. Now Canelo will fight Lara in a unification fight and he will have to give that belt back to Canrlo cause Lara will lose. Ironic thing is it's the same belt Floyd already took from CaneloPosted March 13, 2014 8:44 pm
WBA did this simply hoping Canelo goes after Lara's belt. He just called Canelo out after his last fight. Now I'll pay for that fight.Posted March 13, 2014 8:15 pm

Lara vs. Cotto is a great fight (Lara probably wins) … Lara vs. Alvarez is a great fight (close fight)… Lara vs. Floyd (Flody probably wins) is a great fight … Lara is coming into his own and he deserves some of the high profile fights.Posted March 13, 2014 7:19 pm
The WBA is an absolute joke. They continually have a 'Super' champ, 'World' Champ and an 'Interim' champ. Each guy claims to be the top guy and of course the WBA collect fees for the all these titles when they are on the line.
I ask the question, how can Lara beat the man when the man is looking at blockbuster fights against top notch comp (sarcasm) like Khan and Maidana? The list is long and distinguished (like my Johnson) for Lara duckers including Floyd, Canelo and GGG.Posted March 13, 2014 7:17 pm
Congrats to Lara but Floyd is the WBA CHAMP. How can you BE the MAN if you didn't BEAT the MAN?? But anyway, congrats once again!! You're officially a CHAMP.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew has had a rough offseason. An alleged involvement in a May 26th fight at a Florida restaurant, as well as coming off Lisfranc surgery on his foot, it's been a rough go of it for Jones-Drew. M.J.D. was unable to participate in minicamp and showed up to offseason workouts out of shape. While he has expressed optimism he would be ready for training camp, questions still remain. "I don't know if I'll be on the field that day, but that's my plan (to be 100 percent)," Jones-Drew said, via John Oesher of Jaguars.com... Read more

In these days of 'Digibox's' where you can record TV programs and watch them later, the 'ad's' doesn't matter!
We always record the TV program's first before watching them, so when the 'ad's' come, we stop the show and add extra 4 mins [or however long the 'ad's' are] from the where the the program was stopped and that way the ad's free channels are not necessary!.

I am writing Battleships game in Java for Event-Driven Programming on my studies. The game is supposed to be a network game and i am going to make client and server in one application.
This is an image representing structure of my application:
To get to the point - i want to write Server class that will run as separate thread and are responsible for remote View - Controller communication. So, the Server class will be responsible for:
- Reading objects from socket in infinite loop and if any arrives, putting them in the BlockingQueue for the Controller.
- Providing method like 'sendActionEventToView()' which will allow Controller to pass object the other way - from Controller to remote View.
Unfortunately, when running the Server thread, whole application stops responding. If anybody would tell me what am i doing wrong, i would be very grateful. This is in my opinion the problematic part of Server code:
/** Main Server method - responsible for reading objects
* and putting them in the queue if any arrived */
public void run() {
GameEvent event;
while(true) {
try {
event = (GameEvent)objectStream.readObject();
if(event != null) eventQueue.put(event);
} catch(ClassNotFoundException e) {
} catch(IOException e1) {

I think thread hangs on 'readingObject()' - how can i force it to give processor time to another threads if there are not any objects in the stream?

The hours eventually got to Diane Harrod. She put in more than her share of six-day weeks and at age 67 felt the demands of the season wearing her down.
Plus, sometimes it's just time to move on.
"I just felt I had done it long enough and it was time for a young coach to come in and start coaching at Germantown," she said.
Harrod spent 32 seasons coaching the Warhawks' girls volleyball team and had 42 years of service when you include her 10 seasons at Milwaukee Madison. She was one of the few coaches left who could say they were on the ground floor of the girls sports movement. She was Madison's first coach and led the Knights to the City Conference's only state title in 1977.
She ended that great run last winter when she retired. She wanted to resign at season's end but decided to take some time to be sure of her decision.
Harrod's plan was to go away quietly and when it came to this sportswriter, she almost made it. It wasn't until spring that I heard the news. Feeling bad that she didn't get a proper sendoff, I made a mental note to give her a call once the season started to see how retirement was treating her.
Last week I found her spending time with her husband, Bill, who was her assistant for 25 years, and doing things that coaching often pushed aside, like working on their patio.
"It needed repair and it seemed like when we'd start doing it volleyball would happen. Either we'd have camps in the summer or we'd have club or we'd have regular volleyball season," she said. "So now we're doing that.
"And we have an RV and we are using it to travel around. RV parks are really busy during the summertime. In the fall, since the kids are back to school, we can go during the week and enjoy it and it's not such a hassle."
Harrod is actually enjoying the best of both worlds. She and her husband are coaching middle school kids — it is about half as much of a time commitment — and will once again coach the G-Force club team.
The game came a long way in her time.
While year-round coaching and a high-flying brand of volleyball are common today, the game's beginning in the state were quite humble. Harrod was teaching physical education and health at Madison when she was basically assigned to coach girls volleyball.
"When the sports programs started after school, it usually had to be a Phy. Ed teacher that would take it. That was like a requirement," she recalled. "If you were in Phy. Ed, that was your job, and so I was doing girls track and I had experience with volleyball in that I had played it in school."
The first WIAA state tournament was in 1973 and Madison made it in 1977 and '78, when it was runner-up. While other City teams have made it to state — Bay View was the last one in 1994 — Harrod's were the only ones to finish first or second.
"I think the reason we did so well is I had nice height in the front," she said of the '77 team. "These kids got along so great in practice. They just were for each other. All the players played for each other."
Harrod left Madison after the 1978 season to raise her infant son. She returned to coaching after a year off and landed at Germantown, where her husband taught.
She led the Warhawks to state in 1990, '92 and 2005. The closest her teams got to returning to state was the sectional finals in 2010 and '11, though the Warhawks won the North Shore Conference the past three years.
She'll be cheering them on for a fourth straight from afar. Once a coach, always a coach.
"I do miss the kids. I do miss the competition," she said. "I'm very competitive, but I'll start club soon and then I'll be back. I've still got my hands in it. I'm not out of it."

AP Top News at 4:14 a.m. EDT
HONG KONG (AP) — Hit by two astonishing tragedies in quick succession, the Malaysia Airlines brand may become the airline industry's equivalent of asbestos or News of the World: toxic to the public and, experts say, impossible to redeem. Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 was downed over eastern Ukraine on Thursday with 298 people aboard by what American intelligence authorities believe was a surface-to-air missile. Just four months earlier, a Malaysia Airlines jetliner carrying 239 people disappeared about an hour after taking off from Kuala Lumpur. The jet has still not been found, a source of profound unease for travelers and the aviation industry.
SYDNEY (AP) — A large number of world-renowned AIDS researchers and activists heading to an international AIDS conference in Australia were on board a Malaysian jetliner that was shot down over Ukraine, officials said Friday, as news of their deaths sparked an outpouring of grief across the global scientific community. There have been unconfirmed reports that up to 100 people on board the Boeing 777 were en route to the Victoria state capital of Melbourne to attend the 20th International AIDS conference, which starts Sunday, Victoria Premier Denis Napthine said, though he hastened to add that reports were conflicting and it was far too premature to give a precise figure.
WASHINGTON (AP) — National security leaker Chelsea Manning can get initial treatment for a gender-identity condition from the military after the Bureau of Prisons rejected the Army's request to accept her transfer from Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, to a civilian facility. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel has approved the Army's recommendation to keep the Army private in military custody and start a rudimentary level of gender treatment, a defense official said Thursday. Defense officials have said the Army doesn't have the medical expertise needed to give Manning the best treatment.
BEIRUT (AP) — Across the broad swath of territory it controls bridging Syria and Iraq, extremist militants from the group known as the Islamic State have proven to be highly organized administrators. Flush with cash, they fix roads, police traffic, administer courts, and have even set up an export system of smuggled crude from oil fields they control. But the extremists — a mix of Iraqis and Syrians but also foreign fighters from Arab countries and non-Arab regions like the Caucasus — run the risk of provoking a backlash from the people they have come to rule.
SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — A small north-central Washington town and a nearby hospital threatened by a wind-whipped wildfire have been evacuated, and the blaze has burned at least 35 homes in Okanogan County, the sheriff said. Sheriff Frank Rogers said late Thursday he's heard of no injuries from the Carlton Complex of wildfires.
MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — Move over, pot brownies. The proliferation of marijuana edibles for both medical and recreational purposes is giving rise to a cottage industry of baked goods, candies, infused oils, cookbooks and classes that promises a slow burn as more states legalize the practice and awareness spreads about the best ways to deliver the drug.
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Hearing the first victim to take the witness stand against Jerry Sandusky helped push the former Penn State coach's adopted son Matthew to come forward with his own allegations of abuse, he said in a television interview. Matthew Sandusky said in a Thursday broadcast of "Oprah Prime" that he recognized elements of his own abuse when he sat through testimony by a young man described in court as Victim 4, someone he knew better than any of the other seven who testified at the trial. Sandusky was convicted of various types of abuse involving 10 boys, including all eight who testified.
HOYLAKE, England (AP) — Rory McIlroy put up a dazzling score on the opening day of the British Open. Yawn.

New Insights about the Uninsured
"Since the launch of Together Rx Access, we have gained new and important insights about people without insurance that have helped shape and focus our educational and enrollment efforts," explained Ms. Whiteley. "Sharing these lessons with others, including community leaders, healthcare professionals, legislators, and advocacy groups, has been instrumental in expanding prescription access for uninsured people across the country."
One of the most important learnings is that there is no "one size fits
all" approach when communicating with the uninsured population, who
represent a broad range of diverse individuals and families. Additional key
Program learnings include the knowledge that:
-- Women tend to be more involved than men in making decisions about
family healthcare;
-- Those over 40 years of age are much more engaged in healthcare than
their younger counterparts; and
-- Many of the uninsured are web users as evidenced by the success of
online enrollment.
Together Rx Access credits one-on-one communications with helping to sustain the Program's momentum. This method has proven extremely effective in engaging individuals and families who are uninsured. A personal conversation or assistance in completing the application reassures potential cardholders of the Program benefits and often helps answer common questions.
About Together Rx Access
The Together Rx Access Card was created by leading pharmaceutical
companies to help hardworking Americans and their families gain access to
immediate and meaningful savings on prescription products right at their
neighborhood pharmacy. Most cardholders save 25 to 40 percent(1) on brand-
name prescription products. More than 300 brand-name prescription products
are included in the Program.(2) Savings are also available on a wide range
of generics. Medicines in the Program inc

The recessed fields of this piece are rather dark, although the letters and devices are a bit lighter and stand out nicely in contrast. The interior devices of both sides are well-defined for the grade; however, there is weakness around the periphery of the obverse, most notably at the tops of LIB, and on the reverse, STATES is largely indistinct. As is often found with early coppers, there is some porosity evident, particularly on the reverse. A key date coin that would fit nicely into a set of early large cents.

Toronto Raptors guard Landry Fields announced today that he is engaged to his bikini-wearing girlfriend Elaine Alden, ending speculation that he'd just date her until another hot bikini model came along. Fields tweeted: Couldn't be happier!! Marrying the woman of my dreams!! God is SO good! :D God, our sources tell us, did create implants after he was done creating Mickey Mantle, power steering and a polio vaccine. He figured that NBA players would want women with big, implanted hooters so that was added to his list. Anyway, Alden isn't exactly hitting the jackpot with this Fields character. He's earned $1,235,799 over his first two seasons and is working on a 3-year, $$18,750,000 contract with Toronto. By the time he throws a wedding, buys the $5 million mansion and pays his agent, Fields is broke. Good luck, kids. Filed under: Basketball, Girls

I have to first admit that I am a Champagne snob. It might have come from living in Paris and going to parties where, thanks to a guy named Dominic, cases of Champagne were available. France has a perfect region for making the stuff, so why go anywhere else? Well, first is my theory of proximity to wine quality. If you aren't near the source, a lot can happen to wine of any sort between the maker and the drinker. Being closer minimizes both the cost of the product and the risk of something going wrong along the way. In Paris, it's a short train ride to Reims, Epernay, and Champagne. But its a long trip to me now that I live in Southern California. Even though bubbly wine made outside of Champagne is not Champagne, it can still be very good, and the price can be even better.
Domaine Carneros was one of our first stops in Napa Valley. It's named after the southernmost appelation known as the Carneros Region. This area gets cool ocean breezes which are good for two things: Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Each of these grapes go great in one thing: wine that is fermented in a bottle, riddled, and then stoppered with a big mushroom cap, kept under pressure, and ready to serve for celebrations or occasions of any sort.
Domaine Carneros is part of a venture made by Taittinger. The other venture is Domaine Chandon, named after Moët & Chandon of the giant company LVMH. I like Taittinger because it is one of the only remaining independents in the Champagne world. (Beavis and Butthead would also like how the name is pronounced in French). But I like others too—Moët, Veuve Clicquot, Perrier-Jouët. They each have their own characteristics that endure the risks and costs to get them to me in California. Domaine Carneros was my first true sampling of a California sparkling wine (I am sure I had a $4 bottle at some point in my life), and it broke through some of my prejudices.
A couple of good things about Domaine Carneros. First, none of the wines are those carbonated wines that gave a bad name to sparkling wines in the 70′s and 80′s. (Think sparkling white zinfandel). All of them are made using the methode champenoise–secondary fermenting in the individual bottle, removing the yeast, and corking the final product. All of them are vintage (made in a single year) which usually costs a premium and is fairly uncommon for commonly available French champagne.
Domaine Carneros has a big estate building built in 1989 or so with a rather Disneyesque feel to it. Despite the adult theme park craziness even on a Sunday afternoon, tastings are done quite nicely: sitting down at a table, the various bubblies are all placed with a cue card, and there is plenty of time and opportunity to go back and forth between the different ones. At first, we had to sit for about 10-15 minutes before someone had time to help us, but Travis stopped by and let us know he saw us waiting and would be right back to help us. The wait was soon forgotten and it we were glad to have the local Californian help us rather than the French woman we saw other tables endure. After the initial pour, he came back to the table and sensed that we weren't just sitting outside for some bubbly and to overlook the expansive grounds and view of Napa. He proceeded to bring out some more special wines—both sparkling and not—and made the experience way better than the cookie cutter format we we initially expected.
I'm not sure if my sister and I were just in the mood to buy a bunch of wine, or if our pourer was also a great salesperson, or if the prices and wine really did seem good. It could have been any or all three of these things, but we decided to split a case of wine. Domaine Carneros makes some still wines, too. We split up some Pinot Noir and sparklies between us, and based on the sales pitch, we determined I could join the wine club, use this as my first of two requisite purchases, and get pretty good pricing on the bottles. For example, their flagship Le Rêve Blanc de Blancs is a retail of $95 according to their list, but we each got a bottle for $68. Which isn't bad considering the amount of time it spends sur lie (5 years) and the quality of the bubbly. A non-vintage champagne of my normal choosing would be $40, and a vintage bottle of Dom Perignon was $120 last I saw at Costco (and $125 at Vons with their 30%+10% off sale without the gift box). Most bottles we got out the door at $28, with some unique styles such as a demi-sec (semi-sweet) Vermeil and an ultra brut (extra dry) white.
My wife, Heather, is a huge fan of Champagne, and just yesterday we had our first bottle of the Domaine Carneros Brut Rosé as an aperitif to sushi. Rosé can be made two ways, the first is a little longer press and maceration of the pinot noir grape at first pressing, the second is by adding pinot noir into the bottle. I believe they do both, but in any case it gives the stuff a little more grippiness and complexity compared to the white stuff. It's not sweeter, just a little broader. If they didn't do this, she might make a Lady Macbeth, which is port wine in champagne. This is kind of a ready-made Lady Macbeth Lite with less sugar and alcohol.
My father once told me the ballpark time for Champagne was 7 years. For something like Dom, it can be 30 years. But rosé, even Dom Perignon rosé, won't last as long as the white stuff. Using those guidelines I imagine 3-4 years after bottling would be fine to hang onto the Domaine Carneros rosé. This is a 2007 vintage bottled in 2011, so you could safely keep it for an anniversary in 2015 or so.
According to Yelp reviews, Domaine Carneros has a much better tasting experience than Domaine Chandon. Other places people recommended to us were Roederer and Shramsburg. Apparently the latter has the worlds fastest riddler. (Riddling is rotating the bottle upside down to let the yeast settle out, not citing puns or clever sayings and questions and being Batman's nemesis). Because of the other good sparkly places we missed, I predict a trip with my wife in the future.

Cliff Lee was roughed up in his minor league rehab start Monday
Jul 15, 2014, 12:30 AM EDT
Cliff Lee is slated to return from the disabled list one week from today against the Giants in Philadelphia, but Corey Seidman of CSNPhilly.com brings word that his final tuneup in the minors didn't go smoothly.
Pitching for High-A Clearwater on Monday night, Lee was knocked around for eight runs — three earned — on eight hits and a walk over 4 2/3 innings. He also hit a batter. Following an error by shortstop prospect J.P Crawford, Lee gave up five runs in the first inning, including a two-run home run. No word yet on his velocity, but that's an ugly outing no matter what. Lee now has a 5.06 ERA and 8/2 K/BB ratio in 10 2/3 innings over three rehab starts.
Lee hasn't pitched in the majors since May 18 due to a flexor strain in his left elbow, but the timing of his return will allow him to make a couple of starts to prove his health and effectiveness in advance of the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline. Lee, 35, is owed around $12 million for the rest of this season and $25 million for next season while his contract includes a $27.5 million vesting option or $12.5 million buyout for 2016.

The Phillies need more than Cliff.
- NatsLady - Jul 15, 2014 at 7:03 AM
Since I do injury reporting I've seen a dozen terrible rehab starts where the pitcher was fine when he got back the majors. Maybe Lee was working on his off-speed stuff or whatever. The question is not his rehab result, it's whether he's feeling pain (beyond "normal" soreness). The team will look at velocity, pitch count and a report on how his arm and shoulder feel the day after his outing before deciding whether Lee's return should be delayed.

And That Happened…
Boring ass home run derby.
Jeter infatuation getting old.
Puig didn't flip his bat. (I was king of looking forward to him flipping it, then having to go pick it up to continue hitting).
Self serve beer. I for one welcome our new beer dispensing robot overlords.
The only interesting about yesterday was that Dave Cameron released the first 10 names of his annual 50 highest trade value players. 2 Rays were on it from 41-50. Neither one was Kiermaier. I bet Kiemaier is the one to overtake Trout this year.
- bringin1234 - Jul 15, 2014 at 8:58 AM
man I have to agree…. what a failure of a homerun derby. Most of the sluggers watching. As a white sox fan I wanted to see Abreu in it, and Cruz and Rizzo. The big names….
- thenaturalmevs - Jul 15, 2014 at 10:23 AM
Kiermier couldn't beat Mike Trout in checkers.
- hittfamily - Jul 15, 2014 at 6:52 PM
Mike Trout is great at checkers though. That's like saying Kiermaier couldn't beat Bobby Fisher in chess.

This says I want to stay in Philly, don't trade for me I suck.
- Nick Danger - Jul 15, 2014 at 11:13 AM
I think it says "Wow I stink, thank God RAJ gave me $25 million reasons to stay in Philly next season and another $27.5 million in 2016 if I can just stay on the mound all season next year."

Loved, loved, loved the Kathleen Parker column in the June 5 paper. Corporate America does need to get priorities straight and concentrate on user-friendly, helpful customer service where they actually know how to do something for you and the authority to do so!
Who, besides retired people like me, have to time or inclination to sit on the phone for hours being connected from one person to another, over and over again; often times, still not getting the problem resolved because no one working in customer service has any common sense, brains or language skills?
We do want homegrown, human yesterday! And America, yes, revolt! But Kathleen, how do you suggest we do that?

Today, in the waning moments of Mayor Daley's administration, the Clean Power Ordinance is scheduled to be heard before a joint Chicago City Council Committee. The Ordinance would require Fisk and Crawford dirty coal plants in Chicago to significantly reduce their soot and greenhouse gas emissions. Greenpeace and other members of the Chicago Clean Power Coalition, a group of nearly 60 organizations, have been working diligently to mobilize for the hearing. But two questions loom large for the organizers: Will Chicago's "green" mayor ultimately allow two of the nation's dirtiest power generators be part of his legacy, or will the aldermen of the City of Chicago actually give the Ordinance honest consideration? In a town steeped in political rascality, even solid aldermanic support can head for the door when its time to vote. On Thursday, the Eco-Justice Collaborative a member of the Coalition, will attempt to open the lid on the workings of the Joint Committee hearing and shine a virtual light on the operations that seemly work only with the Mayor's permission. With humor and creativity, they are unveiling WHERE'S MY WALDERMAN? Through the power of the Internet and the social media application Twitter, supporters will be able to live stream comments on the hearing, including where the committee aldermen stand on the issue of protecting the health of Chicagoans, and literally, where the aldermen are when it is time to take a vote. The world will be able to watch at www.wheresmywalderman.com, where 24 separate Twitter streams will be monitoring the aldermen's actions. If they do well they will be applauded, if not, they will be embarrassed. Who would want to be against clean air? To work, this effort will take widespread participation. Anyone in the world can play, whether they are present at the hearing or not. Twitter is easy and free. Once you are twitter-ready, simply go to the website and tweet or re-tweet, using the general hashtag "#chicoal" or any one of 24 alderman-specific hashtags to be posted on the day of the hearing. The world will be watching.

Thanks for the comments guys.
The older woman in the second, fourth and sixth pics does have an exceptionally long neck, the rest I'm probably exaggerating on though. Force of habit I think.
As for the sketchbook, I let it die because I just couldnt maintain it regularly.

"Not only is the ABSORB trial beginning to show that bioabsorbable technology, when applied to coronary stents, can work -- it can also provides a foundation for future interventional medical innovation," said John M. Capek, Ph.D., senior vice president, Abbott Vascular. "Five years ago, the technology and 'know-how' to make a fully functioning bioabsorbable drug eluting stent didn't exist, but every success in the ABSORB trial brings us one step closer to providing this important new treatment option to physicians for their patients."
About the ABSORB Clinical Trial
The ABSORB trial is a prospective, non-randomized (open label) study designed to enroll up to 60 patients in Belgium, Denmark, France, New Zealand, Poland and The Netherlands. Key endpoints of the study include assessments of safety; MACE and stent thrombosis (blood clot formation) rates at 30, 180 and 270 days, with an annual follow-up for up to five years, and successful deployment of the bioabsorbable drug eluting stent. Other key endpoints of the study include follow-up measurements assessed by X-ray angiography, intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), and state-of-the-art imaging modalities at 180 days and two years.
In March, six-month results from the first 30 patients in the ABSORB trial were presented at the of Cardiology conference, demonstrating no stent thrombosis and a low (3.3 percent, one patient) of Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE), such as heart attack or repeat interventional medical treatment.

29 year old man | Western Springs, IL, USA | Seeking women 24-32
Live life to the absolute fullest!!
Ok so how do I describe myself hmmmmm well I am a Cement Mason who is very charming and funny as hell. I will always try to make you laugh even though my day has been terrible. I do this because I like to see you smile. I'm a very down to earth person, who is looking for someone to go out and have some fun with. Not looking to get into anything real serious right away. But, yes I am looking to get into a relationship. Let's just see where it goes. My friends would say that I'm a real nice guy, big hearted until someone pushes me over the edge. I always speak my mind and yes I always tell the truth. Because I have nothing to hide so why lie. I am sarcastic and hard headed. Yet I will always listen to you and be open to your new ideas or trying different things. I love my family and they are very much in my life. My mother is Sicilian so Sunday dinners are always great. I am always willing to do things that you want to do. I treat the woman in my life with the up most respect. I trust u until you give me a reason not to and I will let you know when that line has been crossed. I am a strong person who wants a woman to be able to keep up with me. The woman in my life is my partner in crime through thick and thin. You fall I pick you back up, and vice versa. Even though some aspects of my life are in the fast lane, I have no problem cuddling up with a home made dinner or take out and watching a movie with you. Because at the end of the day all we have is our loved ones. If you wanna know anything else about me just ask. Hope to hear from you, but if I don't good luck to you and who ever you meet. ~Frankie
