MacDonald Tells Penn "Keep it Professional and Go Through My Manager" | UFC News
Rory MacDonald called future UFC Hall of Famer, BJ Penn out of retirement but unfortunately the injury bug in the UFC strikes again. There would be no way Rory MacDonald is able to fight the former UFC 2 division champ, BJ Penn on Sept 22 as scheduled. He explained the extremity of his injury and what went down on the MMA Hour:
"You know when you have a gut feeling when something happens?
I felt it and then I kind of knew. I didn't move and I hit him or whatever, and then I just kind of stopped and then I watched the blood just kind of like spurt out sporadically. And then, I know when that happens that it's deep. It was spraying. So I just kind of sat there, I knew, I just knew that I was screwed."
Rory MacDonald states his injury wouldn't make it possible for a bout opposite BJ Penn on Oct 13 in Rio de Janerio as Penn suggested:
"Does that maybe give me two weeks of training?
What I don't get about him is how he can come off telling me what's fair and what's not when he doesn't know the situation.
He wasn't there, he didn't talk to my doctors, he didn't see it, so he makes this statement online to get all his followers excited. And really he doesn't know the situation here, he should keep it professional and go through my manager and know what I have to say behind closed doors. Basically the earliest I can fight is November."
Rory goes further in explaining that's not a risk he wants to take this young into his career if he returns too soon.
"The way this cut is, it's a deep cut like I explained.
But, you know, if I got re-injured and re-injured and re-injured if I went in too early that could be a problem later on down in my career.
So it could re-open in fights, re-open in training, It could be an issue I don't want it to be around."
MacDonald won't hold it against Penn if he doesn't want to wait until November or if Penn decides to take another matchup understanding there are other options out there for BJ if he wants to take them. Rory says he'd very much like to keep the matchup intact if Penn will wait for UFC 154.
"Fight who you want to fight, it's up to B.J. at this point. But, I'm ready to fight. If he wants to hold off a couple months or whatever I'll be there, I'll be more than willing to make this happen. I'm still going to fight someone at the end of the day."
Fire your thoughts PENN Nation.

Boo this man!
LoL BooooOOOOooooOOOOooo
30yrs old and Dan Hendersen at 41 years old has fought like 5-6 times in that amount of time and will have fought again against Jones. how can anyone say gsp is one p4p best. GSP has only ever fought WW or LW (guys smaller) where as Hendo fights much bigger guys most time. P4P goes to Hendo not GSP
guy is a pussyhole 1 month no contact will still give him a 6 week training camp not 2 weeks. what maths is he on
Sweet lord, have mercy on these American / Hawaiin morons… May the coconut and pineapple they eat spread knowledge into their shrunken brains.
We bring da lomi salmon you bring da steroids lol das da difference small balls
Bro, this is about Rory McDonald's cut up eye. You had to of known I'd show up eventually to remind you the I could blow your country down to the mantle of the earth. Pineapples and coconuts? Really? I don't know what is more dumb, your terribly irrelevant insult or your ridiculous stereotype that Hawaiians only eat coconuts…
Love, The US
P.S. I could have a satellite pinpoint your location and an unmanned aircraft put a laser designated rocket straight through your bedroom window.
Have a nice day
You are a damn idiot and should be banned from any website, Idiot!
Keep it professional? Bj asked for a earlier date.
We all know whats up with Roid-ry.
How do you know he takes roids?
It's obvious!
I suggest you look at some steriod users bodies..because if you think someone with that frame and muscularity is on steriods you are seriously mistaken.. If he is on 'roids' I assure you he needs to find a new supplier, if you think 'roids' just make you a great fighter/faster/stronger/heal better you're once again mistaken.. there are rather obvious changes, which you would be aware of if you knew anything about the subject, which I myself do, due to my profession. As you can see I'm claiming neither he is nor isn't on them just that if he is…well he is on of the most advanced strains known to man based on his frame
Its obvious in what way? Because he have muscles? Hard work doesnt work anymore? People are fucking idiots.
yea all this was all a coincedence….right? lmao fukn doodoo boy.
nah rory mcroids oct 13 keep it professional
hahahahahaha stop crying Rory… this fucking idiot is the one who CALLED OUT THE LEGEND… Didnt go through managers in the first place ,, jst acted like a tuff guy and called BJ out of retirement and then furthermore he starts talking shit about how bad he is gonna beat up BJ… now this pussy wont submit his Vada test bc of the roids and he cant cycle out yet, plus he gets cut and wants to postpone fight for 2 months or in his case hope Penn takes another opponent. HE is the ULTIMATE BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DUde i pray this fight still happens so BJ can totally ruin this kid, like i said since day 1, there is no way this roid headed punk wins this fights, not a chance in hell. Oh and does anyone find it funny that he failed to mention ONE THING ABOUT HIS VADA TEST in this interview????? WAIt for UFC 154 BJ and show this kid how to JUST SCRAP Hawaiian style in his backyard, i will fly from NY To be there live. WAR BJ TEAM PENN ALL DAY!

I concur
I find this post most interesting and care to subscribe to your news letter and RSS feeds.
so wut about the testing keep it going you can still test
The Roider ROry is a certified bitch…deal with my manager…haha whatttttt u call out bj and then bj isnt professinal enough for u so u want ur manager to deal with him….uhhhhh boy your manager will not be in that cage to save ur ass when bj is coming to kill u like a king cobra
… this was after Bj's reply to HIS TWITTER post, first. lol, this kid is fucking hilarious. Something, almost immature. I think we can all agree that BJ giving him 10 weeks from a fighter who has been cut, and lives with fighters who have been cut would understand how much time is reasonable. So, when Bj says 10 weeks is more than generous, I'd believe him.
Yeah all of the above!
This is bj's chance to take another more evenly matched fight
Bj is my favorite or all time but he won't win this fight
I have trained with rory and he lives, breaths, eats fighting, he is a beast.
And about the roids accusation, I don't buy it.
This is the leanest I have ever seen him
bj needs to finish his career with a win and it won't happen here, no matter what date they fight
That doesn't mean anything. I trained with guys day in and day out, and never knew these guys were doing other things behind close doors. You can't just look at someone and say this guy is this and that guy is that. Anyways I think Rory had a good chance, but he's acting suspicious for sure.
have you ever trained with BJ ?
Roid Macdonald makes no mention about continuing to test with VADA, I say BJ holds off to fight Roid in Montreal assuming he keeps his end of the bargain by continuing to test with VADA. Thoughts anyone?
nice to see bj's fans keeping the legend alive. war , going to kill, to the death, same old same old…unless bj trains hard like real fighters do, rory will beat him..and maybe bj should try a drug or two himself,, ones that give him energy to complete two rounds without gassing…Glad to be allowed back on this web site. i think they will kick me again for bashing their boy, but what the hell eh.,, i can take the shit bj cant… viva gsp
James you're a fkn douche..you're like the asshole who gets invited to dinner and then criticizes the food..if you're not a bj fan get off his page..don't be a loser troll man..go bash somewhere else like on GSP site..I hate Comdit but now I want him more than ever to beat Gorgie so people like you can get a reality check..
Roidy SmackDonald personally calls out BJ through twitter and now BJ 'should keep it professional' and can't call him out through the same medium?
Does this rainman motherfucker understand what he's saying? Dude's face is screaming Asperger's so I doubt he has a wide range of human emotions or understanding.
You can tell from a person's face that they are on the Autism spectrum? Amazing.
On subject though: This guy is a dumb cunthole. He is calling BJ out of retirement and it really seems like he is backing out. And now he is trying to tell him to go through his manager and keep it professional? Such a queer. Fuck Rory. I hope he gets his leg chewed off by a rabid animal.
People with Autism have a hard time expressing their feelings and interacting with society. They basically show no interest in almost anything and their faces can emotionless as well.
Asperger's on the other hand have no problems expressing emotion but are distant and choose not to interact.
To answer your question you cannot tell by bone structure if someone has Asperger's but by their emotional expression.
Yes Roidy is a pussy.
Sure, My thoughts are Rory should man up and offer to take the fight in Brazil. BJ already agreed to fight him in Canada, and for whatever reason it's Rory's actions that caused the fight to be called off. He should have been wearing head gear 8 weeks before the fight.
There is plenty of time for that cut to heal before the UFC in Brazil. Why should BJ jump on a long flight up to that cold region, and Rory's territory? Nah man, he already agreed. Now he want's him to wait and fight in Montreal? Rory, you bumped your head brah, it's not happening.
Tell me something, why is it that BJ Penn is always expected to be the stand up guy? He already was, so now it's Rory's turn to step up and meet BJ half way. It's not like it's a short flight from Hilo to Brazil. It would be a more fair match up.
I respect Rory as a fighter, but he needs to take responsibility for not wearing any head gear. This is on his shoulders, and it's time to show us all that he has honor.
Show some respect for a Legend who came out of retirement to fight you. ~Bob'O
i just dont understand how this roid headed punk can think its fine to call out an mma legend (who was retired) on twitter and elsewhere … and now that BJ is speaking to him directly as an opponent and fighter… the kid is being a bitch and saying bj needs to go thru his manager. Its honestly just UNREAL to me. This kid is such a pussy. Dude, ROID HEAD, shut up and stop crying, you called out PENN first, you made your bed now lay in it punk. BJ is gonna beat the roids out of you. I cannot wait for this fight, this kid better not pull out all together. Oh yeah, and where the Fuck is VADA test… and why doesnt BJ , Dana or someone call him out on it.
This is what a cheater would sa.They all got the same schemes,just like OBAMA lol
i luv how he acts as if he doesnt even care about the penn fight anymore and just wants to move on. lol. i bet he's prayin for penn to accept another fight. run but u cant hide roidy macdonald.
Come people if ROIDY wasn't dirty he would do the VADA testing. This kid is a ROIDER from the word go as we always knew GSP was dirty. No athletic commisiosn tests for HGH or if any fighter has been using sythetic testosterone and just tapering down as they get cloer to fight (JUST LIKE NATE "THE CHEAT" Marquardt is doing)
VADA testing would expose this and any otehr PED except the NON-DETECTABLES that is being sold by Victor CONTE.
the pic of this cut is probably old as fuck. everyone knew rory was goin to pull out the fight, but now that he actually did im even shocked. wow rory.
Regardless if its roids or not its becoming a male soapopera anyways go BJ!
translation :im guilty fuck ummmm talk to my lawyer cuz im fucked.
I believe this guy is hiding somthing… and who does this guy think he is tallking to bj llike that lets keep it profe3ssional talk to my manager…..y doesnt this guy still do the vada testing to prove he is not doping fuck this guy…….
Rory called out BJ and now he wants BJ to go through his manger? Rory is not only a lying, cheating roid head; he is also a self serving hypocrite! Why didn't you go through BJ's manager when you wanted to fight him? Rory should man up and prove us wrong by accepting BJ's offer. If Rory has nothing to hide there is no reason not to continue with VDA and their is no reason not to fight at UFC 153. We the fans are not idiots, conditioning does not require contact and like many posters have said you could work your conditioning while you healed up. According to your own statement, a month is need to heal, that gives you six weeks of sparing, which should be more than enough time for a professional like you.
It's called negotiation Rory. Penn wants to fight as close the the original date as possible so he gives the closet date he can, then you counter offer. Don't take stuff so personally guy.
he should keep it professional and go through my manager and know what i have to say behind closed doors HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH LMFAO this kid is the biggest joke . WOW i cannot believe he actually said that after he is the one who called out PENN on twitter and started this whole thing. And he wants to talk about whats fair and not fair… whats fair is Rory stop being a punk and handle his VADA test like he AND his manager said he would do over 2 weeks ago. Kid is just trying to post pone this Vada test as long as possible.. i hope someone calls him soon…. Aside from that he acts like the penn fight isnt a big deal to him anymore hahah shit is too much, the kid is honestly so shook to fight BJ, its unreal. What a Bitch. Dont let hm out of this fight BJ, just wait and make him pay royally for all this Bullshit… show him why he should never call out legends, esp one of the GOAT!
Thats just str8 up bullshit coming out of rorys mouth, remember when penn asked rory on twitter about the vada testing? Rorys responce was about, bj penn being scared or somthing and bj penn responded saying that vada went to him not bj going to them, rory called him out on twitter and had his share of talking shit to bj on twitter so why now does bj have to go threw your manager rory? Cuz your a scared fucking punk!! History shows us that when your covering up anything you start to act like this pizza monster bitch!! Fuck the whole tri star gym and any1 who responds to my post backing up rorys bitch ass!!
Hell yeah bro im with u all day. FUCK GreaSP… FUCK RORYs bitch ass… and FUCK the whole Tri Star gym and team …. and fuck any punk ass who comes here either talking shit on BJ or backing up Rory/Tri Star/ Grease St Pierre
each star of the tri star gym represents these three criteria:
1) grease
2) roids
3) pizza
It's funny how ALL "Blow Job"Penns followers already making excuses for him, Rory does steroids???Rory would've got caught by now if any of that was true.Rory is gonna put a beating on BJ, Nick Diaz's beat down of BJ will seam mild to what Rory is gonna do to him,keep making excuses whiners, you guys sound pathetic
Get your facts straight, BJ fans are not making excuses, the person who is making excuses is Rory. You just have your head too deep into Rory's ass that you didn't notice.
rory ftw…whenever it happens.
Penn ftw…whenever it happens
UCB808 – shut the fuck up and go cry on rorys or grease st pierres webpage … you sound like a little bitch just like rory… have u even been following whats going on, you idiot… Rory is the one with a million and one excuses … RORY , NOT BJ, has still not done his Vada testing and has failed to mention it in his last interview, RORY, NOT BJ, is one who got "cut" during "training camp", RORY, NO BJ, is the one who wants to either drop from bout or post pone fight for over 2 months… So you tell me who is making excuses …. Yeah pretty crystal clear isnt it, Dumbass??? Rorys bitch ass got a dose of what we call "REALITY" and realized he called out a legend and couldnt finish what he started. Him Grease St Pierre and that shit hole gym Tri Star knew that not only was rory going to get for using roids, but also get fkn ass beat in devastating fashion by the Prodigy in their backyard. TRI STAR / GreaSP / Rory = BITCHES! You made your bed, now lay in it or you roid headed pussy…. #DONTCALLOUTLEGENDS
Bj should agree to the fight in November if rory agrees to keep with the vada from now til tgen
Very good point
If Rory passes a VADA drug test right now, (he won't of course), then maybe BJ should take the fight
This situation remids me of the Pacquiao Mayweather situation
the only needle in roidys ass is my dick gsp sucks my dick too and greg jackson cups my little balls
So whose eating gsp's juiced out twat?
in canada all we do is ride greg jacksons kawck and everyone is ghey
@ USB808- Fuck you, you fucking pussy!! Id fucking break you!! And how are we making any excuses? Were stating facts u fucking bum!! Rory called out bj penn, penn excepted, rory talked shit on twitter and now penn has to go threw rorys manager? Y did rory start this shit on twitter if he cant finish it there? Yea were making all the excuses in the world right? Rory started this and now is backing out of haveing a 10 week heal time as if thats not enough? GTFOOH with that bullshit, rorys making all the excuses and its all there in his own words so eat a dick and have a good day pussy!!
Fight in Montreal or find someone else,thats what I get out of it.
I'm willing to stop all the silly redirect (and I hope everyone else is too) if Rory Macdonald agrees to finish the VADA testing from now til the fight happens….agreed or not?
HAHAHAHAHAHA youre a fkn idiot. What a dumb comment. BJ on roids lmfao. Lay off the Crack Pipe asshole oh and GSP/Rorys dick , as well. Thanks.
i was just saying first off, you sound like a fucking idiot, and second and more importantly if you wanna go cry about rorys bitch ass, go do it somewhere else. oh and BJ FAN BOYS > Rory GreaSP Bitch Boys like yourself, piker.
Rory for the win
GSP = WW champ
Darth (I'm a star wars geek) Vader,
First off thank you for taking the time off of WOW to make a comment. Second Backne is a very very obvious sign of steroid use. I'm not saying he's on steroids, but one would question it. Does he need it? Who knows, people are strange when it comes to
Competition, especially when people keep saying "Rory your the best ever!!!" Lastly Rory is being a overall BITCH the way he's acting, dodging drug testing, going out and getting a cut, then saying "Let's keep things professional!"… Oh go swing off of Luke Skywalkers Nut Sack you fucken Dork!
Yea you fukn dork star wars bitch….light sabers is koo though..but still fuk you.
this guy has a clue some of these guys heads are so far up bjs ass if he farted they could tell us what he ate for breakfast i like bj but i dont think he wins this fight
Some of these rory fans are so far up his ass they cant see the truth for wot it is….oh i like rory though lol
The brain cells bleeding out of a lot of these posts is epic.
1. Rio is a STACKED card that is already FULL. There's nowhere to put this fight. And what Brazilian fight are you thinking of pushing off this card to accommodate an american vs a canadian. If you're Dana White – does this make sense? No.
2. You people talk like Rory looks like some juiced up Brock Lesnar type. You're basing an entire onslaught of accusations based on acne. That's your entire case against him? I guess every guy under 25 who gets spots must be juicing. Wow – that's a pretty lame argument even for dumbass keyboard warriors.
3. BJ was already going to fight in Canada – who cares if it's in Toronto or Montreal?
4. Rory was totally professional in this interview. I mean seriously – what could he have possibly said anyway that would get you cheetohs-popping, living in my mama's basement BJ fans to see his point of view anyway, right? All I'm hearing is "how dare he get cut and then act professional!" Yeah, it must all be a conspiracy to postpone – I know if I wanted to fake an injury I would for sure go for the spurting gash two inches from my eyeball that's cut down to the bone. Makes sense, yeah?
5. The guy *respectfully* called out BJ after UFC suggested it. Don't go playing that he's been on some Sonnen or Diaz style tirade on Twitter against BJ. BJ wanted the fight before he was ever called out. Damn, it's a good thing BJ has so many whiny fans so he doesn't have to constantly bitch about it himself. Just wind up the puppets, flick the hateraid switch on and watch them dance. You guys are f#ckin' hilarious. lol
dude shut up man. when you get done swinging on rorys shriveled up roided out nutsack, you can take your stupid rants elsewhere, like his or grease st pierres webpage, maybe someone on there will actually care what you say. you are obvioulsy turning a blind eye to everything that going on and all you have to do is talk shit about BJ's fans backing him up on his own fkn webpage, and just speaking the truth about the Bitch that rory is… what do you get … here ill break it down for you in A B C form since you like that:
a) RORY called BJ on twitter and started this whole thing.
b) BJ accepted the fight on twitter
… so far NO MANAGERS are involved, its 2 fighters speaking directly to each other (follow me so far .. good)
c) BJ finishes his VADA test and asks Rory to do so, as well
d) Rory and his manager claim Rory will do it Asap … fast forward to 2 weeks until now … Still NO vada test … or no comment from rorys camp about it … Seem suspicious???
e) Rory gets a cut while "training" and wants to either drop the fight or post pone it for 2 months
f) Penn calls him out to fight in OCT 13th since its just a cut and it will heal and they were both already in training camp
g) RORY IS A FUCKING LITTLE ROID HEADED BITCH who has not only not submitted his VADA test, but now asks Penn (after first calling him out and also stating he would beat BJs ass) to go through his manager and keep it professional. LMAO this is kid is the biggest fucking joke and bitch.
I hope that wasnt too hard for you to understand. Kid is so shook to fight BJ, he knows he will get destroyed. and he also doesnt want to get busted for roiding. Hopefully BJ still waits for this kid to finish his crying and BS so he can beat his fucking ass and give him more stitches wherever they fight.
And if you dont like BJ or his fans… simple… get the fuck off his webpage. WAR PRODIGY!
Im really ignorant and a scrawny little girl in real life,im sorry.I cant think of a comback after that brilliance of a layout.I hate my life.
it is lame that this cut happened but BJ is asking for too early of a date.
According to Dr. Johnny Benjamin of MMAjunkie.com; the Rio schedule is quite do able for a dedicated professional. Unless you think Rory and TriStar are a bunch of amatures. The Rio date is quite due able. Rory's excuse that is not enough time to prepare is bull shit. He has another reason why he isn't will to fight at that date that he is not willing to make public. Which leave us to speculate on what it is.
Rory Mcdonald Should Fight Jake Ellenburger & Bj Penn Should Just Retire.
Can't back up his words to fight BJ because he broke a nail and scraped his eye…typical..
Whether there's something up with this or not, I don't know. Whether he's on roids or not, I don't know. I just know this kid called BJ out and if I were in his shoes I'd wait so I could knock his smug ass out. Then again, I'm not BJ, I can only hope he'd do the same. No one else called you out, I know it sucks doing your camp and then having to postpone the fight, but more time to train, right? He should wait for the fight and shut this kid up.
So the earliest he can fight just happens to he in his home country.
I'm so sick of these comments. BJ is gonna kill him brah. War hawaii show him how we scrap in hawaii brah.
Yes, everyone pictures brutal streetbrawls on the tourist islands with the rich kid, BJ Penn. There is no doubt he is a legend, but please stop acting like Hawaii is hard.
It's not the bronx, it's not long beach, it's not south boston or east Chicago. It's a fuckin vacation spot.
I like BJ, but I'm not an idiot…..Rory is the real deal and this is the most lopsided fight since Aldo fought Urijah in Sacramento. BJ won't make it out of the 2nd.
I just hate Gsp… So this twerp gets the same.. Cuz he Luvs him soOO much.. Fuq u .. U Canadian happy meal!!! .. Anybody else here.. Notice.. I'm on BJ Penn . Com?.. Not Ronald McDonald .com… Fuq u rory fans.!!!!! Get fuqd and die.. Lmao ahahaha

Former UE pitcher Lloyd signs deal with San Diego Padres
The University of Evansville's baseball program doesn't always compete for the highest-caliber recruits, but Aces coaches pride themselves on developing top-tier talent.
For instance, there's Kyle Lloyd.
The former Evansville pitcher signed this week with the San Diego Padres organization after it selected him in the 29th round of last weekend's MLB First-Year Player Draft.
"I think he's a great example we can use as a coaching staff to teach," said coach Wes Carroll. "If you talk to a lot of younger players, they'd say his work ethic — how he goes about his business each and every day — got the most out of his body."
Lloyd, who arrived at the Padres' spring training facility in Arizona on Monday, is already off reporting to the club's short-season A-ball club in Eugene. Ore.
The Eugene Emeralds then start their season Friday night.
Lloyd joins former Aces shortstop Eric Stamets, a sixth-round selection last year by the Los Angeles Angels, as Evansville players in the minor leagues. In all, seven of Carroll's players have gone on to sign contracts in Carroll's five seasons.
"I feel like I had what it takes to play at the next level, and I carry that over to teaching," said Carroll' who played five seasons in the minors. "What I usually say is, if you take care of business of the field, everything on the field takes care of itself. Kyle is a perfect example of that."
Lloyd, a right-handed California native who attended Carmel High School, went 7-4 with a 2.59 earned run average last season as a senior. He started on Saturday as the Aces' No. 2 pitcher before Carroll sent him to the mound in game one of the Missouri Valley Conference tournament.
Lloyd didn't disappoint in a gutsy performance, allowing two runs — one earned — on four hits through 8 2/3 innings against Missouri State.
The 6-foot-4, 210-pound hurler touches 92 miles per hour with his fastball and relies on a split-changeup to strike batters out. He fanned 99 in all last year, the fourth-most in a single season by an Evansville pitcher.

WHEELING, W.Va. – Emmanuel Mudiay is one of the most patient point guards in the country, regardless of class.
He's aggressive when he needs to be, he doesn't force passes when the play just isn't there and he controls tempo exceptionally well at all times.
That's why ESPN ranks him No. 4 in the 2014 class.
"He's a great player," Mudiay's Prime Prep (Dallas) coach Ray Forsett said. "He doesn't get rattled and he's always making the right play. Most guys only know one speed, but he's just really patient."
Remaining patient has been Mudiay's greatest challenge this season.
From players being ruled ineligible to being forced to withdraw from elite tournaments, Mudiay has had to deal with pesky roadblocks keeping him from proving that he and his Prime Prep squad don't just belong in the Super 25, but in its upper echelon.

"We should be ranked really high," Mudiay said. "Not to be ranked has been a slap in the face and all season we've been waiting to play a highly-ranked team to show the country what we can do."
The wait is over.
Prime Prep (14-0) will take on Huntington Prep (Huntington, W.Va.), ranked No. 3 in the Super 25, tonight at 7:30 p.m. in the Cancer Research Classic at Wheeling Jesuit in Wheeling, W.Va.
"We're pumped for this game because we've been through a lot this season already," Prime Prep freshman guard Terrance Ferguson said. "Now that everything is behind us we want to get our respect back and this is the game to get it. It's been a crazy season and we're only 14 games in."
MORE: Huntington Prep's Gill-Caesar is the next big thing
Before the season cranked up, Prime Prep was widely regarded as one the top teams in the country, but in October the District 11-3A Executive Committee ruled that three of Prime Prep's top players, which included Mudiay, were ineligible for the 2012-13 season for improperly transferring because of athletics.
That forced most national outlets, including USA TODAY, to leave Prime Prep out of their preseason rankings.
In November, Prime Prep withdrew from the University Interscholastic League, the governing board of high school athletics in Texas, and reinstated its players, but the move made Prime Prep ineligible to face Florida High School Athletic Association teams under FHSAA rules.
That meant Prime Prep couldn't compete in the prestigious City of Palms Classic in Fort Myers, Fla., a tournament that posted eight teams ranked in the Super 25.
"That was where we were planning to show people why we belonged in everyone's rankings," Mudiay said. "It was disappointing because we knew that was a good opportunity for us, but now we'll just have to show it against Huntington Prep."
Prime Prep has certainly been showing it this season, rolling teams by an average of 30 points per game.
"We've played pretty well this season," Forsett said. "But, to be honest, we want to play games like this one against Huntington Prep. Us winning by 30 every night isn't helping my kids. We feel like we're the best in Texas and we want to play the best teams in the country."
The Express (14-0) certainly fit the profile with Andrew Wiggins, the consensus No. 1 player in the country, on the roster along with fellow seniors Xavier Rathan-Mayes, a shooting guard who is signed to Florida State, Moses Kingsley, a forward who is signed to Arkansas, and Dominic Woodson, a forward who is signed to Baylor.
Ferguson said the Express would "definitely" be Prime Prep's toughest draw to date; a fact that only seemed to ignite his excitement.
"I just love a challenge and I'll bet we're gonna be their toughest matchup of the season," Ferguson said. "We're coming into the game to win it. We know that a lot of people will be watching this game so, yeah, we want this one pretty bad."
It's a familiar scenario for Rathan-Mayes, who said he's come to expect every team's best shot.
"We just look at them as another team standing in our way of a national championship," Rathan-Mayes said. "Every team we play has that mentality."
Still, Forsett said the mentality his team is adopting for tonight's game is even more simplistic.
"We're gonna lay out our finest clothes and they're gonna lay out there finest clothes," Forsett said. "We don't make guarantees or anything, but at the end of the day, I think we're gonna dress better."

Two weeks earlier, the Kirkwood Police Department and FBI had completed what many called the miraculous recovery of two kidnapped white boys, William "Ben" Ownby and Shawn Hornbeck. Their captor, Michael Devlin, had kept Ownby for four days, Hornbeck for four years.
Hearing the news, Thomas felt joy for the boys' parents but regret that her child, likely a skeleton by this point, had not been brought home.
The investigation was technically still open and continued to be handled by the city police department. But it would fall to St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Robert P. McCulloch to decide whether anyone would be charged. In early July 2003, St. Louis Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce had transferred the case to McCulloch because Dawan Ferguson had worked as a bounty hunter for her office. His duties: searching for parents wanted by the court in child-support cases.
Thomas had persistently lobbied on several fronts for Ferguson's arrest. She requested inquiries into the state social-services agency's dismissal of her many claims of abuse and reached out to television personalities including John Walsh of America's Most Wanted pleading for a spotlight on Christian's case. She made little headway.
This time, though, Thomas got a positive response. The St. Louis police department and the FBI in April 2007 formed a five-person task force that included detectives Howell and Dyson and FBI agent Ludovico to review Christian's case full-time for 30 days.
"I don't want to say, 'One last push,' because cases like these always remain open and new leads can be investigated, but the idea was to take another look and then go to the St. Louis County prosecutor's office and really put the pressure on for an arrest," says a police officer with knowledge of the investigation.
Investigators re-interviewed a handful of witnesses and went back out with cadaver dogs. Acting on tips, they combed several cemeteries and had the dogs sniff out the ground around a house built by Pyramid Construction Inc., the company Dawan Ferguson's stepfather owned, near the time of Christian's disappearance.
The task force also reviewed records from 2003 that detailed garbage pickups and deliveries from various sites. The team went so far as to request permission to go digging in a landfill. (The request was denied, owing to a lack of evidence.)
They found nothing.
Victor Thomas, who spoke often with investigators, believes police were off base in at least one area. "The police had a theory that Dawan did this on his own," Thomas says. "We had a theory that he had help."
Responds one officer knowledgeable about the case: "Victor and his guys forwarded us tons of [tips] they thought were significant. All I can say is we did look into all of them, but nothing turned up."
When the investigators learned of the March 12, 2007, interview John Rogers had conducted with Connor, they wondered: What had the boy told the attorney?
The county prosecutor's office subpoenaed Rogers for a transcript of the sworn interview. The defense attorney challenged the request; though he lost in St. Louis County Circuit Court and on appeal, the Missouri Supreme Court in August of last year overruled the lower jurisdictions and declared that Rogers did not have to release the transcript.
Connor Ferguson tells Riverfront Times, "I told Mr. Rogers exactly what Dawana told me to tell him: that [my dad and I] had a great relationship, that he didn't beat us. I didn't even tell [Rogers] Christian's 'G-tube' was missing [the day before he was allegedly abducted]."
Connor now says he left out a lot of the details that he'd supplied to police.
"I know I was just messing up myself in the future, because it will be hard," the boy adds, without finishing his thought.
"I heard that all the time about Theda," offers one police officer with knowledge of the investigation. "But you can't call a mother crazy if her child is missing and nobody will help her. She wants information, and you all are not doing anything but sitting back and name-calling her. That woman isn't crazy at all. She's a mother who lost her child. She's grieving."
"Look, she was probably the better-suited parent for those kids," says another officer familiar with Theda and Dawan's long custody battle. "But when she lost them, she went about trying to get them back in all the wrong ways."
The police investigative report mentions Theda Thomas' persistence, noting that her "well documented" complaints to various agencies between 1998 and 2003 were ignored. "On several occassions [sic] investigators failed to seek other sources to refute or substantiate the claims made by Thomas," the report reads. "To complicate matters, Thomas often made repeated complaints on the same incident to several agencies. Thomas was considered as an antagonist by most...."
Victor Thomas says he kept the copy of the report from his wife for six months. "I knew once she read it, it would put more resentment in her," he says.
Theda Thomas says to this day she has only read excerpts of the document. "I want to know, I don't want to know," she wavers. "I know enough to know the father needs to be on death row."

Bus passenger in Arizona dies after altercation
PRESCOTT, Ariz. -- A Greyhound bus passenger who appeared to be impaired died Friday following an altercation with an off-duty driver after the vehicle broke down in north-central Arizona, authorities said.
Yavapai County Sheriff's officials said the name of the 53-year-old man was being withheld until his family could be notified.
An autopsy was scheduled to determine the cause of death and sheriff's officials also were awaiting results of a toxicology test on the man.
Deputies were called around 2:45 a.m. Friday about a disorderly passenger who appeared to be impaired by alcohol, drugs or medication on the bus bound for Flagstaff.
They reported finding an unconscious man lying outside the bus along Interstate 17 and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Deputies interviewed the bus driver, the off-duty driver and several of the nearly 50 passengers.
They told authorities that after the bus was stopped by mechanical issues, the passenger began arguing with the driver and allegedly tried to assault him.
The off-duty driver reportedly intervened and the passenger collapsed inside the bus.
Sheriff's officials didn't release the names of the driver or the off-duty driver.
They said it was unclear if the confrontation resulted in the man's death or other factors were involved, but no arrests have been made in the case.
A call to Greyhound for comment on the incident wasn't immediately returned Friday afternoon.

$1 Million SuperPrize Winner Karen Anderson's Life Is Forever Changed
Not even bad weather could stop the Prize Patrol from surprising this $1 Million SuperPrize winner!
On February 27th Arkansas was hit with terrible weather: news of an earthquake, tornado, thunder and lightning. What terrible luck…that is until February 28th when the PCH Prize Patrol arrived in Bella Vista to surprise the newest SuperPrize winner with $1 Million! As if our presence was known, the skies cleared right when it was time to suit up and surprise Karen Anderson with her million dollar prize from Publishers Clearing House!
With a ring of the doorbell and knock at the door, local media and the Prize Patrol were smiling and ready for that door to swing open and hear a scream…but no such luck, there was no answer! The Prize Patrol is used to this and never gives up hope. Luckily Karen is extremely friendly and was close with her neighbors who were able to tell us she would be arriving home within the next few hours and told us what kind of car she drove so we knew when she arrived. We parked the Prize Patrol van down the road and waited…and waited…and then did some more waiting. BUT, it was fun! Bella Visa residents were certainly excited to see the Prize Patrol van sitting on the side of the road. So many cars pulled up next to us asking if we were coming to their house. Though disappointed that their house wasn't where we were going, they were truly excited that a Bella Vista resident was the newest Publishers Clearing House SuperPrize winner.
After endless false alarms, the Prize Patrol finally saw Karen's car turn onto the block…now its show time! Knock, knock, knock. The door swung open and Karen clung on to it for support exclaiming "oh heavenly days! You have no idea how this is going to help!" After a few hugs from Dave Sayer and myself, Karen told us how she sadly lost her job in October. "I lost my job in October and I was bringing home not a whole lot, but a thousand a month." Karen was overwhelmed with joy that this money can now help pay for her husband's medical expenses. Karen said the first thing she was going to do was hire a cleaning service to come to the house. Well, I spoke on the phone with Karen a day after her winning moment and she told me a local cleaning service called her immediately saying they wanted to do the job! The next thing she wants, "that $200 chihauha in the newspaper!"
Karen Anderson and her husband David truly touched my heart. They were kind enough to show us around their home, telling stories of how David Anderson built the back deck and the creative decorations Karen created out of basically nothing when she was trying her best to stretch a dollar. She did such a fantastic job I want her to come decorate my house next!
After signing some paperwork Karen called her sister "the PCH skeptic" to share the exciting news. Not surprisingly, her sister still wasn't a believer, so Dave Sayer got on the phone to prove it! I was standing across the room from Dave and all I heard were screams coming from the phone…I guess she's now a PCH Sweepstakes believer! If you're a PCH Sweepstakes believer you could become our next SuperPrize winner and find the Prize Patrol at your door. Keep entering at pch.com and never stop believing. The Prize Patrol wishes you all the best of luck!
See this touching winning moment on PCHTV.com and the local media coverage http://nwahomepage.com/fulltext-news/?nxd_id=220606. ENJOY!

While Dave, Todd. Danielle and Natalie surprised Karen for her big win on Feb.28, who surprised and notified P. Murray in Texas, the 10,000 prize winner? Was it done on the same day? The other 10.000 winner was surprised by Dave the next day March 1 in Florida.
Hi Colette,
Due to scheduling conflicts, the Texas $10,000 prize for Gwy. No. 1831 was awarded via certified mail.
Chris @ PCH
That's too bad!! Since I alway thought anything for THAT amount would get a special delivery!!
You KNOW how we ALL look forward to the Prize Patrol coming knocking at our door!!?? ;0)
TOO bad you do not have a back-up Prize Patrol for those times..>>> or maybe the Patrol should have been split into groups for ALL these BIG prize awards this past time….
Just a thought for the NEXT time !!! You have TOO many prizes to deliver in the same day!!!
I thought only winners less than 10000 are notified via certified mail, amd anyone who wins 10000 and more are surprised by the prize patrol. Anyway thanks for the answer, Chris. Under certain circumstance anything can change.
I'm so happy for Karen,I believe there some luck in the drawing but more so God new Karen needed it for her husband medical expenses and herself. Congs. to you Karen. I have a question for you, will your sister inter now?
Hi Rod,
I have a question, What happens to the 1 Million for Life? I had saw comments that said they were going to post a date when they were going to chose a new date for the 1 million for life. Are they going to still do this? Thanks.
Hello Debby,
This particular prize award of $1,000,000 A Year For Life from Giveaway 1830 was a time-limited promotion. However, Giveaway 1830 officially ends in February of 2015.

It's a new year and a new chance to improve your survival skills. Here are ten skills every disaster prepper should keep well honed.
1. A Positive, Practical Attitude! It may sound corny, but positive thinking really can make the difference in an emergency situation. Panic is your enemy. There are many rules that survivalists use to stay focused in tough moments. For instance the "Rule of 3s" states that a person can live for 3 minutes without air, 3 hours without body temperature regulation (shelter), 3 days without water, and 3 weeks without food. This makes it easy to see that shelter is a must-have in an emergency situation. Another rule: SPEAR, short for Stop, Plan, Execute, Assess, and Re-evaluate. This rule of thumb can help you stay confident and focused in the face of a survival situation.

When the Talty, Texas-based American Heart Association employee noticed that her dog Izzy's newborn pup was cold, gray and lifeless shortly after her birth in early March, Pederson's "instinct kicked in," she says in an AHA blog post.
"It's limp and cold and my heart's breaking," she says. "So I tried to stimulate the puppy. I cleared its airway. I'm even giving it little back blows. And then I start thinking, 'I am a CPR instructor, I've got to try this.'"
Pederson, who had only performed CPR on manikins before, modified the techniques she learned in training and cleared the puppy's airway by aspirating its mouth and snout. Next, using her thumb, she pressed firmly just under its ribcage to perform chest compressions. After five minutes of trying, she and her boyfriend, Kenneth, and his daughter Caytee, began to assume the worst. But five or six compressions later, the puppy made a gentle gasp and color soon returned to her nose and paws.
"Her little nose and mouth turned really, really pink," she says in a video filmed for the AHA. "A little miracle happened and she started breathing on her own."
In a nod to the Boston terrier/bulldog mix's miraculous recovery, Pederson and her family have named the dog Miri. And while Izzy's three other pups are set to be adopted by family and friends when they're old enough, Pederson has decided that Miri is a keeper.
"After all of that, she's going to stay with us," she says.

hey i just found out that the barking dog takes credit cards , thats a plus there food is on the money 99% homemade, even their salad dressings. great place, just keeps getting beter.
Posted by nyorker on 05/03/2006
Great food, best brunch in town, dog friendly outdoor seating, excellent choice of salads a must try restaurant, (dog bar on corner of restaurant). Overall a great place.
Posted by westy on 01/30/2006
Excellent dinner, best brunch, and if the weather is good, eat in the outdoor seating and yes you can bring your dog--barking dog is dog friendly!
Posted by Big Eater on 01/21/2006
We go almost every weekend for brunch and find that the prices are much more reasonable than the normal weekday breakfast prices - and the menu is expanded to include more innovative choices (breakfast sundae!) along with your classic breakfast items (eggs benedict). Another great feature is that when the weather is favorable, the staff arranges tables outside so you can enjoy brunch with your dog hanging by your side.
Posted by secret knowledge on 10/26/2005
...but never as good as I think its going to be. On the plus side, the staff is friendly, the ambience is nice, the portions are big, and they are nice to our canine buddies. Some of the items, like the poor boy, are very good, but I usually find the food is decent but not quite memorable.
Posted by I like it! on 07/20/2005
I love having breakfast at the Barking Dog-- and my dog loves accompanying me! They have seating just for people with dogs and we all get to socialize. The prices are a little high, but they have a great Breakfast Special...the service is a little slower than similar places in the area, so it's best to go when you're relaxing or unwinding-- like on a Sunday morning for breakfast or brunch.

Francis Alÿs, The Loop, Tijuana - San Diego 1997
Postcard given free at the exhibition Francis Alÿs: A Story of Deception
One of the best exhibitions I've seen in London this year has been Francis Alÿs: A Story of Deception, and in the very first room you encounter a kind of landscape film - footage of a mirage on a desert highway in Patagonia. This work provides the title for the exhibition and it is accompanied by a small canvas with a murky indistinct view, Untitled, Patagonia 2004 - the canvas is slashed and, going further than Lucio Fontana, the cut actually penetrates the wall of the gallery. The mirage reminded me of Herzog's Fata Morgana; other Alÿs works like Rehearsal I (1999-2001), where a VW Beetle is repeatedly driving up a hill, and Tornado (2000-10), documenting attempts to to run into the eye of a dust storm, might also have been scenes in Herzog's films.
In my previous post on Francis Alÿs I described When Faith Moves Mountains, a communal effort that challenged earlier land art. "When Richard Long made his walks in the Peruvian desert, he was pursuing a contemplative practice that distanced him from the immediate social context. When Robert Smithson built the Spiral Jetty on the Salt Lake in Utah, he was turning civil engineering into sculpture and vice versa. Here, we have attempted to create a kind of Land art for the land-less, and, with the help of hundreds of people and shovels, we created a social allegory." In this exhibition there were other works that provided interesting contrasts with land artists, like Paradox of Praxis 1 (Sometimes Doing Something Leads to Nothing) (1997) where, three years before Andy Goldsworthy left snowballs melting around London, Alÿs was pushing a block of ice around the centre of Mexico City until it disappeared.
This kind of walking project, reminiscent of Richard Long but with a strong social or political edge, has been a persistent element of Alÿs's practice. In The Green Line he trod the 1948-67 border between Israel and Jordan dripping green paint as he went. In The Collectors (1990-92) he walked round Mexico City with magnetised 'dogs' collecting metal detritus. And in my favourite, Patriotic Tales (1997), he 'led a circle of sheep around the flagpole in the Zócalo, the ceremonial square and the site of political rallies. The action is based on an event in 1968 when civil servants were paraded in the city to show support for the government, but bleated like sheep to protest their subservience.'

The present invention relates to a portable communication device. The communication device comprises a housing which accommodates a number of components enabling the user to effect two-way communications including data transfer and personal communications.
The wallet or purse is the traditional and familiar means to hold cash and other everyday objects about the person. Other devices such as credit cards and smart cards have broadened the range of personal financial transactions so that a choice can be made to transact purchases and make other financial transactions either with cash held in the wallet or purse or electronically through retail point-of-sale terminals or automated teller machines. An even wider range of transactions has become commonplace through the advent of telephone banking whereby telephone or personal computer instructions to the relevant institution can be communicated for financial transfers and the purchase of services.
The variety of means to manage money has thus expanded so that the individual user is faced with a mass of different, often technologically complex devices and interfaces for communication and transaction in different contexts such as within the home, on the move or at work. The user is also faced with an increasing diversity of information from advertisers, banks and retailers which may affect the management of financial affairs.
It is the aim of the present invention to provide a portable communication device which provides the user with improved communications facilities.
According to the present invention, there is now provided a portable communication device comprising a housing incorporating;
at least one selectively operable smart card sensor,
a display device,
a mobile electronic data communications facility to receive and transmit data communications, and
a data transaction processing means in data communication with the smart card sensor, the display device and the data communications facility.
The selectively operable smart card sensor may incorporate a switch engageable by the user. The switch is preferably located to be operable through the intermediary of pressure applied to flex a smart card held by the sensor.
The invention will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which;
FIG. 1 shows a portable communication device incorporating the present invention,
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of an electronic network including a network site constituted by the device of FIG. 1, and
FIG. 3 shows a block circuit diagram of components accommodated within the communication device of FIG. 1.
Referring now to FIG. 1, there is shown a portable, hand-held communication device 10 comprising an outer casing 11. A liquid crystal display 12 is mounted on a front face of the casing 11. Above the display 12, as seen in FIG. 1, are arranged a microphone/loudspeaker 13, a user recognition device 14 and an antenna 15. Below the display 12 are arranged vertical cursor control controls 16 and horizontal cursor controls 17 to control a cursor displayed on the display device as will be explained. The device 10 also has a pair of smart card sensors 18, a paging control 19, and a transaction processor 20. Data communication ports 21 allow external data communication to the data processor 20. The transaction processor 20 and the ports 21 are shown diagrammatically in dotted lines in FIG. 1 because they are disposed within the interior of the casing 11.
Each of the smart card sensors 18 includes a receiving slot 22 to receive a smart card and hold the smart card in an operating position for data communication with sensor contacts within the smart card sensor. An example of a smart card 23 useable with the sensors 18 is shown alongside the device 10. The smart card is generally T-shaped and carries a semiconductor chip 24 which has contacts for engagement with the smart card sensor contacts in the device 10. An operating switch 25 is mounted above each sensor 18 to be overlaid by the cross-bar of the T-shaped smart card when in use. The switch 25 is operable in response to pressure applied by a user of the device 10 to flex the smart card into engagement with the switch 25. The switch is then operated by the pressure applied through the intermediary of the flexed smart card held by the sensor. The number of smart card sensors 18 is a matter of design choice. Although only two such sensors have been shown, there may be any convenient number other than two.
The cross-bar of the T-shaped smart card 23 is wider than the entry slot 22 of either smart card sensor 18. The cross-bar therefore acts as an abutment to register the smart card 23 precisely in relation to the sensor contacts within the smart card sensor 18 upon entry of the smart card into the slot 22. Whilst a T-shaped smart card is to be preferred, other shapes may be used to provide a suitable abutment to register the smart card in the sensor 18 and to overlay the switch 25. For example the cross-bar of the smart card may be replaced by a tongue of circular or elliptical shape.
Referring to FIG. 3, the transaction processor 20 is shown to incorporate a read-only memory 20 a. The transaction processor is connected through a data bus 30 to the liquid crystal display 12, the smart card sensors 18, a random access memory 31, an electronic mobile communications facility 32 and the microphone 13. The electronic mobile communications facility incorporates the antenna 15.
In FIG. 2, the device 10 is shown in operation as one site of an electronic communications network. Other sites include a retail store 33 including a communications centre 34 and a home building 35 including a personal computer 36. The communications network is shown diagrammatically to include a satellite 37 which provides a link to satellite dishes 38 provided on the buildings 33 and 35. It will be understood by those skilled in the art of electronic communications that the network is capable of transmitting data to be relayed over the public switched networks with additional links to the internet for e-mail communications.
In operation, a user can operate the paging control 19 to gain access to the data communications network. The recognition device 14 is a biometric device which responds to the requested access and operates by reference to an image of the iris of the authorized user. The authorized image is stored by the transaction processor. When an attempt is made to use the device 10, a comparison is made between the stored image and the iris of the user attempting to use the device 10. If there is a match between the iris of the user and the stored image, the transaction processor 20 is enabled and a message informing the user of this is displayed on the display screen 12. If there is no match, the transaction processor 20 is shut down.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the biometric recognition device 14 may take a form other than an iris recognition device. One such alternative form is a biometric recognition device in which recognition is made of the fingerprint of the authorized user.
Upon recognition of the user, the transaction processor 20 is programmed by means of programs stored in the ROM 20 a to display to the user a menu of options on the screen 12. The options enable mobile electronic banking and communication, electronic commerce, personal communication, data transfer and computing operations as will be explained.
In a first option, the user may select a banking operation which involves the use of a smart card 23 inserted in one of the smart card readers 18. The smart card reader 18 is switched on by pressure on the smart card 23 which flexes into engagement with the switch 25. The smart card communicates via the data bus 30 with the transaction processor 20 to signal the selection of the chosen smart card 23 and to transfer data from the smart card to the RAM 31 under the control of the transaction processor 20. The data in the RAM 31 includes encrypted information which is accessed by the transaction processor 20 and subject to decryption by means of a decryption program stored in the ROM 20 a. The decrypted information may include financial information such as the balance of currency stored in the smart card. The financial information is displayed to the user on the screen 12 so that the user may be informed of the balance stored on the smart card.
In the event that the user chooses to increase the balance of currency stored on the smart card 23, the user may opt to select this option from the display on the screen 12. The option is selected by moving a screen cursor to the location where that option is displayed under the control of the cursor controls 16 and 17. The selection of the option is communicated via the data bus 30 to the transaction processor 20 which is programmed to send data to activate the mobile communications facility 32. The communications facility 32 is activated to communicate a message over the network illustrated in FIG. 2. The message may be addressed to a bank to dispense currency of a value selected from the screen 12 by the user. The bank dispenses the requested currency value by sending a return message to the facility 32 for entry into the RAM 31 under the control of the transaction processor 20. The value of any dispensed currency is deducted from the balance of an account held by the user. The dispensed currency is communicated from the RAM 31 to the smart card reader 18 via the data bus 30 to be entered into the smart card 23.
From the above explanation, it will be seen that the device 10 can be used as a digital wallet in which the currency value stored in one or more of the smart cards 23 can be increased because the display device 12 is user operable to communicate financial transaction instructions to the transaction processing means 20, and the data transaction processing means 20 is programmed to respond to the user instructions to effect financial transfers between the smart card reader 18 and the data communications facility 32.
The cash stored electronically in the smart cards 23 can be used to make purchases electronically. In this case, the user may choose an option from the screen 12 to make a purchase using a card 23 entered into a selected card reader 18. The different card readers 18 may hold smart cards which correspond to individual retailers. For example one smart card reader 18 may hold a smart card 23 individual to a food store and another may hold a smart card 23 individual to an automobile fuel station. The choice of smart card reader is made by the user by pressing a smart card to activate the corresponding switch 25. The display screen 12 and cursor controls 16 and 17 enable the user to enter the data relevant to the purchase. The purchase is communicated electronically by way of the communications facility 32 over the network to the retailer or service provider from whom the purchase is being made. A return message from the retailer or service provider acknowledging the purchase is entered into the RAM 31 and the transaction processor 20 responds to this return message by sending data via the bus 30 to the smart card reader 18 to deduct the purchase amount from the smart card 23 in the reader 18.
The ROM 20 a stores an identity code or call sign which is individual to the device 10 and which distinguishes it from other such devices. m the communications network shown in FIG. 2, the retail store 33 has a communications centre 34 which also stores the identity code or call sign for a multiplicity of portable communication devices each as constituted by the device 10 of FIG. 1. The communications centre 34 has the capability of transmitting call signs for the multiplicity of devices 10. The call signs are transmitted continually by the retail store 33 to be received over an area in proximity to the store 33. As a user carrying one of the devices 10 nears the retail store, the device 10 picks up the call signs through the antenna 15. The call signs from the retail store include an identifier to indicate that the source of the call signs is the retail store.
The transaction processor 20 is programmed to recognize an incoming signal as a call sign and is also programmed to compare the incoming call sign with the call sign in the ROM 20 a. When the incoming call sign matches that stored in the ROM 20 a, the transaction processor deciphers the identifier to register that the call signs emanated from the retail store and places an answering message on the bus 30 which is transmitted by the communications facility 32 as an outgoing message to be received by the communications centre 34. The answering message advises the communications centre that the device 10 is in the vicinity of the retail store 33. The communications centre 34 responds to the message from the device by sending personalized data to the device 10 preceded by the call sign for the device. The personalized data may include a welcome message, updating information about purchases available at a discount price and credit facilities available to the user. The user is informed through the display 12 that communication has been established with the particular retail store identified by the call sign and that a purchase may be made from the store using the smart card 23 corresponding to that store.
The microphone 13 is provided to widen the communication capability of the device 10. The microphone incorporates an analog to digital conversion circuit so as to enable digital information to pass via the data bus 30 to the transaction processor 20. The transaction processor 20 has a speech recognition program capable of converting the microphone input into a text output for display on the screen 12 and for communication to the communications facility 32. The user may select an option from the screen 12 to compose a message to be sent via the communications facility 32. The message may, for example consist of a paging message or may be an e-mail message. The selection of the message option through the screen 12 is communicated to the transaction processor 20 via the data bus 30. In response, the transaction processor requests the user via the screen 12 to enter the message through the microphone 13. The transaction processor 20 receives the digital form of the message via the data bus 30 and is programmed to store the message in the RAM 31. The transaction processor converts the digital data in the RAM 31 to text data which is supplied by way of the bus 30 to be displayed on the screen 12. The user is requested to confirm or cancel the displayed message. If the message is confirmed, the transaction processor 20 controls the communication facility 32 to receive the text data from the bus 30 and to transmit the message over the appropriate mobile communications network.
In the communications network shown in FIG. 2, the home building 35 includes a personal computer 36 with a home communications centre. The home communications centre is loaded with the call sign of a user device 10 and is adapted to transmit the call sign continually in an area within the vicinity of the home building. The call sign transmitted from the home communications centre includes an identifier to indicate that the source of the call sign is the home communications centre. Once the user has reached the proximity of the home building, the device 10 matches the call sign transmitted from the home building to the call sign stored in the ROM 20 a in the manner already described above. The response of the transaction processor 20 is to recognize that the call sign is form the home communications centre and to formulate an answer message which interrogates the personal computer 36. The personal computer is programmed to respond with a transmission of personal information to the device 10. Such information may include a welcome message, recorded telephone messages and paging information. The personal computer 36 is linked to a public switched network for the purpose of taking and recording messages received while the user is away from the home building 35.
Request messages can also be transmitted from the device 10 to request information from information servers to be displayed on the screen 12 or to be downloaded onto a smart card 19. The downloaded information may, for example, be of sporting results, financial share information, music or any other material which can conveniently be transmitted and received for storage in a smart card. Intelligent agent programs may be stored by the transaction processor 20 or accessed by a request message transmitted from the device 10 by the user. Such intelligent agent programs may be used to search for material to be transmitted back or may be used to filter material which is transmitted back.

How rare is Fred? I saw only one of Fred at the local Toys R Us.

How rare is Fred? I saw only one of Fred at the local Toys R Us.
Anybody know how many Yeti's were produced or how many Mattel is planning to produce? Our Toys R Us had a few Yeti's so I picked up another one - gonna pull one out of its packaging. Also picked up:
- Mario Andretti
- Fred
Just so you know, Mattel is a mass market toy company. Nothing is going to be rare, and if it is, it's not on purpose. Their goal is to sell as many toys as they possibly can and if that means making more of a popular car, they will do so.
But of course when new cars (like Yeti) come out, they're obviously not going to meet the demand of everyone right away. So their goal is to keep releasing it (even releasing it next year if they have to) until all demand has been met.
New Cars appear rare because scalpers go to the stores daily, buy them all up, and resell them on ebay. Eventually, enough are on the shelves for everyone.
If you think about it, CARS came out when? 2006? We're in 2008 now and there's STILL Lightning McQueen and Sally on the pegs, two cars that were released right at the summer of the movie's release.
The reason why Yeti was so hard to find is because of a few factors.
a) It was released towards the end of the year
b) It was released on packaging that was nearing the end of its completion ("supercharged").
What that means is that Mattel has a new packaging to roll out for 2008 ("world of cars") and most retail stores will opt for the NEWER product than to order a case of the old... even if the case still has many cars that consumers want.
But not to worry, Yeti is sold on the new "world of cars" packaging and from the looks of it, you were able to get all you wanted.
The hard part is to get Yeti on a supercharged card now since most stores didn't order that case assortment.
Are Mike and Sulley exclusives to a store, i.e. Wal-Mart or Toys R Us? I've been looking for Mike and Sulley all over but haven't seen them anywhere.
I got the Buzz and Woody set today, but I'm surprised at how poorly Buzz is constructed. It's the removable helmet that should snap into place but doesn't. If I was a parent giving this to one of my kids I would be a little concerned about it. They should have made the helmet fixed in place or put it on a little hinge on the back.
Mattel does a lot of things wrong. There are so many errors splattered across the entire line of Cars it gets tough to count!
KB had a big sale and all of their cars were $3 right now which is essentially the same price as Target and Wal-Mart. mellonballer found me most of what I needed so I picked up a few for my friend's son who is also collecting these toys. I found Fred, Darrell Cartrip, and Pit Stop Guido for the little tyke.
Keep your eye on your Fred... some of them were released without the license plate that says "FRED". This is an error and has since been corrected but tons of cars were already sent out. The one I found today is one of those errors.
Anyone seen the Flik and PT Flea set? It's the only one I am interested in with the new wave and have seen it start appearing on Ebay. Should I start hitting my Targets, Toys R Uses and Walmarts, or not quite yet?
I look at so many of these things I can't always remember. I swear I saw one last month when all the stores were getting in tons, but I might be nuts.
Don't know if this is at all the Wal-Marts, but the local one has the Cars Racing Track Carrying Case marked down from $15 to $10. This is the one they reduced: http://www.toywiz.com/carscase.html

2 tablespoons
butterscotch ice cream topping
10 fluid ounces
seltzer water
2 scoops
vanilla ice cream
I used a homemade vanilla frozen yogurt instead of vanilla ice cream. My kids thought this was the best drink ever.
I've never had butter beer, so I don't know what it's 'supposed' to taste like, but we thought this was great! I would suggest using cold seltzer water, so the drink is icy cold. I didn't measure anything, so I am sure I used more than 2 tbsps. butterscotch topping, lol. Reminded me of a rootbeer float, except, of course, it was butterscotch...loved it! Thanks for sharing. :)
