That is a tough one. To start, I think we need to check battery connections and ground. Make sure the battery terminals are clean and tight and make sure the ground wire that goes from the battery to the engine block is clean and tight. Let me know what you find.

I'm using
'query_posts('category_name=X')' in order to filter which posts display. Two questions:
- Is it possible to list multiple category names, and if so, how do I separate them? (commas, spaces etc)
- A better alternative would be to use category ids - I've tried cat_id, but no luck. What's the correct way of doing this, and again, how would I list multiples?
Thanks for any help you can give.

After the Revolution
As staunch San Francisco liberals, it goes without saying that we spend the bulk of our time haranguing the masses with Marxist ideology and agitating for the downfall of the capitalist overclass. You know, the usual.
So it is with great pleasure we note that Berkeley's Aurora Theatre has finally produced a work fit for the fit to work, with the Bay Area premiere of Amy Herzog's "After the Revolution," which opened Thursday. Comrade Herzog's award-winning 2010 drama chronicles conflict between three generations of far-left activists: Emma (Jessica Bates) has been raised on the mythology of her paternal grandfather (the intriguingly named Joe Joseph, based on Herzog's actual step-grandfather) and his supposedly unjust persecution during the Red Scare, building a charity and a public image on his name and legacy.
At the worst possible time she discovers that, in fact, he wasn't wrongfully accused at all, and that Grandpa Joe really was spying for the Soviets. A crisis of confidence, conscience and culture snowballs into some pretty heavy questions about the legacies that parents leave for their children on one hand and the legacies that 20th century politics have burdened modern America with on the other.
If exploitation by the imperialists hasn't left you too economically and spiritually destitute to partake in the potential collective bonding inherent in public performance, it's a thoughtful and invigorating production. While there's any number of shows about generational conflict and political fallout, "After the Revolution" teems with more ideas and emotions than the space will bear. It's telling that there are several scenes in the first act that we just plain wished would keep going after they'd ended.
Herzog doesn't shy away from thrusting her hands right into the heart of weighty matters. Exactly what identity, if any, does the American have left have anymore, for example? Is there really a difference between truth and honesty? Are family relations just politics at the heart of it? These are the kinds of questions you may ask yourself in the midst of the show -- or maybe the questions that the show is asking you. But "After the Revolution" is never burdensome or overly academic. Actually, if anything, the show might have a little bit too much going on, thematically speaking, but then again, social conflict doesn't really lend itself well to being streamlined.
While singling out any particular cast members for praise would be a violation of our collectivist principles, Rolf Saxon as Emma's father, Ben, and the mildly Alan Alda-like Victor Talmadge as Leo, Emma's uncle, lend a nice yin and yang quality in their scenes with each other and with Bates. Saxon is pompous but still manages a kind of wounded dignity in his perpetually hangdog expression; Talmadge is accommodating and somewhat hapless but still suggests long-suffering integrity with his quiet reserve. Either could be a thankless part on paper, but the actors make it work.
And when was the last time we all really talked about politics anyway? We talk about elections, certainly, and we talk about the news and occasionally we even talk about history, but it's been a while since any new work engaged with the world in a big picture, poli-sci sense, and it's very refreshing to -- hey, don't click away, we promise this isn't like that dull class that fulfilled your gen ed requirements ten years ago.
Maybe that's the secret of a show like "After the Revolution": It knows that politics aren't dry and academic. Politics are heated and emotional and pathos-filled. But to call it a show about politics isn't really doing it justice, anymore than it would be to say that "12 Angry Men" is about a homicide. Rather, these political ideas are a great vehicle for relatable emotions.
One pet peeve: The audience frequently finds themselves confronted by the backs of the actors. Very often, in critical scenes, the performer we want to see the most (usually Bates) has turned away from us. While this is always a sometime hazard with a thrust stage, it seems odd that the upstage area, with the greatest visibility, feels like the least oft used. The biggest victim of this is Adrian Anchonodo, who plays Emma's boyfriend Miguel... or at least, we think he does? Since almost all of his scenes take place on a couch situated at the fore of the stage area, he's turned away from a third of the audience almost the whole time. It's possible some people didn't even know he was in the show.
This sounds like a minor thing, but to give you some idea of how distracting the blocking becomes, some other audience members brewed up a term for it on the spot: "Backting."
Herzog, of course, also wrote "4,000 Miles," which played at A.C.T. earlier this year. She seems to have a good head for Bay Area audiences. "After the Revolution" is smart, compelling theater for proletarian fellow travelers and bourgeois class collaborators alike. Now if you'll excuse us we have some pamphlets to print and then we're going underground for a few years. It'll be safer for you if you pretend you never read this.
The show is good for: Audiences who enjoy discussions about a play that can last longer than the play itself.
The show is not good for: Anyone who associates the name Marx exclusively with "Duck Soup."
"After the Revolution" runs through Oct 6 at the Aurora Theatre, 2081 Addison Street, in Berkeley. For information or tickets, call 510-843-4042 or visit auroratheatre.org

Does Florida move past Oregon and Kansas State with this amazing win?
FSU has beaten the SEC champ at least 8 times, and we don't even play in the SEC, lol:
1987 champs 34-6
1988 champs 13-7
1989 champs 22-14
1993 champs 33-21
1994 champs 23-17
1996 champs 24-21
2000 champs 30-7
2013 champs 34-31
The Jimbo Pistol is 6-1 vs SEC but Auburn had a moral victory, ahead at halftime. College football sees how talent is oozing into Tally and they are afraid!
Only if uga stumbles against a "resilient" Auburn team, lol.
ACC Football Champions (2012-2014)
2012 Orange Bowl Champions
Florida state Champions (2013-____)
2013 NCAA National Champions

The SEC plays in their own little cocoon. It is funny how when they play out of SEC like UF vs ragin cagins bad things happen, isn't it?
I am giving it up to Florida however for keeping our SOS ready for the taking in Doak.
Yeah,I'm very happy they will be ranked around 5 when they come on up. A&M dropping the hammer on Bama but it's still very early.
UF will be no where close to 5 in real polls like the Dunkel or FEI
Seminole - 10 November 2012 05:55 PMUF will be no where close to 5 in real polls like the Dunkel or FEI
sshhhh, of course they are that good. You know what conference they play in right?!?
They didn't lose to NC State did they ?
From what we saw today bama doesn't want any part of NCSU.
Looks like Kansas State and Oregon will play for the title, FSU needs a bowl with bama.
FSU is 4-13-1 against Aubarn. Maybe this would be a good time to schedule the Barnies every year so you can catch up .
harry carey - 11 November 2012 11:47 AMFSU is 4-13-1 against Aubarn.
FSU is 4-13-1 against Aubarn.
Last time Auburn would play us=1990. Hell of a time to call off that series, huh? Right when FSU was about to start rolling and had won 3 of the last 4 against them, lol.
harry carey - 11 November 2012 11:47 AMFSU is 4-13-1 against Aubarn. Maybe this would be a good time to schedule the Barnies every year so you can catch up .

6 of the top 12 = SEC.
dawgsday - 11 November 2012 01:38 PM6 of the top 12 = SEC.
And you had the audacity to ask why the Gaturds aren't falling in the polls.
it is the reason Florida not only dropped Miami but Spurrier tried to get FSU off the schedule also. As we approach the end of the season it is obvious. Another ass beating coming and the house of cards caving in.

How leaders harness innovation to out think competitors
"We've entered a new era. Call it the age of imagination, ideation, conceptualization, creativity, innovation—take your pick. Creativity, mental flexibility, and collaboration have displaced one-dimensional intelligence and isolated determination as core ingredients of a competitive advantage."
In his book OUT THINK: How Innovative Leaders Drive Exceptional Outcomes, author Shawn Hunter synthesizes a set of what he calls "truths in emerging innovative leadership practices" that help companies generate value in the form of innovative products and services. The volatility of the current economy—which he calls 'marketquake'—demands that organizations become agile in order to survive.
In the book, Hunter explains a series of ten processes that comprise the 'Out Think' journey:
Five Actions for Sound Business Leadership
Guest post by Lewis Edward
It's easy to want others to follow you. The hard part is making yourself the kind of individual people would actually want to follow, and not merely feel obligated to do so. Would you follow you?
By following these five easy but key steps, you can make yourself the kind of leader you need to be in no time:
Lead by example
Don't be a "do as I say" kind of person. Instead, adopt the "do as I say and do" approach. You can't expect those under you to work hard consistently if you don't work hard yourself. Sure, they may work hard at first, especially if you're holding one threat or the other over their heads; but sooner or later, not even fear or financial motivation are going to able to cut it.
At such times, inspiration has been found more often than not, to work best. And nothing inspires more than a leader who doesn't just "talk the talk" so to speak, but actually "walks the walk" as well.
Be enthusiastic about what you do; be passionate
If you actually love the kind of work you do, this should come easily to you. Nevertheless, even if your work happens to be less than a delight, don't despair. Not everyone can have their dream job. You can still be passionate about what you do, or at the very least appear to be passionate about what you do, by adopting the right approach to your work.
One good way to build up enthusiasm on the job is to always focus on the brighter aspects of your work (the happy smiles of satisfied customers, for instance). Being an enthusiastic leader is important because it serves as a dependable source of motivation for the other members of your team.
Be confident
Believe it or not, just like dogs can smell fear in humans, so can followers sense hesitation, uncertainty, or panic in a leader. To be a confident leader, you need a healthy dose of courage.
Now being confident or courageous doesn't mean you have to be the kind of person that doesn't get scared, anxious, or worried; you only have to play the part and try as much as possible to hide such demoralizing emotions from the members of your team. After all, according to Ambrose Redmoon, "courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear". And in this instance, what is more important than fear is making sure the work gets done.
Be organized
More often than not, the efficiency of your team will be nothing more than a reflection of yours. So if you're disorganized, your team will likely be disorganized; and if you're organized, so will your team.
Learn to delegate
The true salt of a leader doesn't lie in being able to get things done; it lies in making others get things done. This is why a person can be such an effective and efficient worker and still end up being a lousy leader. One salient reason why some business leaders fail at being leaders is because they refuse to, or simply don't know how to delegate.
As a leader, there is no way you can do everything on your own. That is why you need to learn to allot duties to the members of your team effectively. In this regard however, a leader must take great care not to mistake proper and effective delegation for total absolution from responsibility on his/her part.
If you do not have any of these qualities it will be hard to replicate leaders from your life and from history. There is always a big debate as to whether leaders are born or made from their learning and environment. The truth is it is probably a combination of the two interacting. You cannot separate the effect of your environment on your genes. The truth is that it is our words, actions and behaviors that will inspire and motivate other people. By learning to do the right thing, and learning to behave like a leader we can become the kind of person we would follow into any battle.

The Product Management Perspective: Successful product managers know that to lead their teams (and products) effectively they have to be persuasive and optimistic. They need to find ways to lead people without being the boss. The five actions discussed in this post will help you become a better product manager, and hence a better leader in your company.
Leadership and enthusiasm
Attitude determines direction. Successful people possess a deep passion for the activities in which they engage. In the ancient Greek vernacular enthusiasm meant inspiration or divine influence. In modern English it refers to intense enjoyment, interest, or approval.
Enthusiasm drives passion and fuels achievement. It comes from within. Expressing enthusiasm is a choice, and those who choose it benefit from the results. The great basketball coach John Wooden said: "Your energy and enjoyment, drive and dedication will stimulate and greatly inspire others." Not only will it inspire others but it will also inspire you to reach new heights.
The "sales guru" and bestselling author Augustine "Og" Mandino described the importance of enthusiasm this way:
Every memorable act in the history of the world is a triumph of enthusiasm. Nothing great was ever achieved without it because it gives any challenge or any occupation, no matter how frightening or difficult, a new meaning. Without enthusiasm you are doomed to a life of mediocrity but with it you can accomplish miracles.
Whether you are enthusiastic or not is a choice. Find ways to cultivate this behavior in your own life and you will reap the benefits; do not settle for mediocrity.
The Product Management Perspective: Product managers need to find ways to motivate the teams they work with. Leading on purpose is all about finding ways to lead and inspire other people — over whom you have little or no managerial authority — to do things better and faster than they thought possible. Enthusiasm (for your work and your product) is crucial.

Exercising enthusiasm
People feed off the enthusiasm of those around them. Leaders who love what they do and show it by their expressions, actions and tone, endear themselves to those around them. Seth Godin is spot on in his recent post about why this is not the time to ask for money. He says: "Attention can be worth more than money. Enthusiasm is priceless."
Exercising enthusiasm takes hard work. Vince Lombardi said it well: "The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary." Enthusiasm leads to success only after a lot of hard work and persistence. The news is largely negative these days, but don't let that stop you from being happy about the good things in life, or passionate about your favorite team, or excited about the successes of your family and friends. When times are tough, look for the positives and focus on helping others see them. Others will come to you for advice and look to you for leadership.
The Product Management Perspective: Product managers need to find ways to motivate the teams they work with. Lead on Purpose is all about finding ways to lead and inspire other people — over whom you have little or no managerial authority — to do things better and faster than they thought possible. The 'rah-rah' cheer leading approach will not fly, but the focus and work will. Remember Lombardi's quote.
How to get along
There seem to be a lot of stories flying around the media about people bickering, fighting or otherwise not getting along with each other. While such situations might help spark a political campaign, they do nothing for people trying to progress and become more successful. It's especially important learn how to get along with your boss and co-workers. On his Great Leadership blog, Dan McCarthy writes about 10 ways to get off on the right foot with your new manager. He makes the assumption that the new manager is a good, competent leader and not a jerk. Here's the list of ten (without detail; check out Dan's post for the meat):
- Be good (both doing good things and good at what you do)
- Be proactive about introducing yourself
- Exhibit behaviors that are appreciated (enthusiasm, optimism, curiosity, initiative, and good judgement)
- Clarify expectations up front
- Help your new manager learn
- Try to minimize how many times you say "we tried that before and it didn't work"
- Be VERY open to change
- Learn about your new manager
- Watch your manager's back
- However….. don't be a blatant suck-up.
Working for a new manager/boss/leader provides a great opportunity to shine, to model things (including your career) the way you've always wanted them to go. Take the opportunity to form new relationships and make most out of new circumstances.
The Product Management Perspective: Dan's advice is significant for product managers. They not only have to manage up to their boss, but also horizontally, with managers of other teams on whom they depend for success. The ten steps listed above work equally well in both cases.
The Energy Bus
What does it take to run a successful organization?
There is obviously no one right answer to this question. However, positive thinking and energy are among the attributes featured in the book: The Energy Bus: 10 Rules to Fuel Your Life, Work, and Team with Positive Energy by Jon Gordon. The Energy Bus is a story (written in the style of other bestselling business fables) of George, who's struggling at work and at home. His car breaks down, which forces him to ride the bus to work. He ends up on a bus with a driver named Joy. Joy is not the average bus driver; she helps her riders recognize and understand principles of success that affect every aspect of their lives.
The book presents principles, through George's story, in an easy-to-understand format. The story has its banal moments, but it makes for an easy read, and more importantly provides a vehicle to deliver important principles in an understandable format. One of the key principles discussed is "contagious leadership." When a person in a leadership role (or any role) exerts energy with the intent to motivate others, it's contagious. To clarify this point the author gives five ways to "love your passengers" (or motivate the people you lead):
- Make time for them
- Listen to them
- Recognize them
- Serve them
- Bring out the best in them.
The overall story of the energy bus is captured in the 10 rules for the ride of your life:
- You're the driver of your bus.
- Desire, vision and focus move your bus in the right direction.
- Fuel your ride with positive energy.
- Invite people on your bus and share your vision for the road ahead.
- Don't waste your energy on those who don't get on your bus.
- Post a sign that says NO ENERGY VAMPIRES ALLOWED on your bus.
- Enthusiasm attracts more passengers and energizes them during the ride.
- Love your passengers.
- Drive with purpose.
- Have fun and enjoy the ride.
The book motivates its readers to focus on the positive, use the energy that comes from it to improve their production, and inspire others to do likewise.
The Product Management Perspective: Team energy is critical to the success of a product. When product managers focus on building up and inspiring their teams they will increase the energy that goes into all aspects of product development, and increase the likelihood for success.

A few years ago, while flipping through an in-flight magazine on an airplane, photographer and world traveler Bharat Ranjan read a tiny blurb about Uyuni, a small city in southwest Bolivia, which is home to magnificent salt flat. Ranjan immediately wanted to go.

I follow Peek-a-boo ICU on facebook, and they just finished their "Week of Inspiration," where parents of preemies were encouraged to post inspiring stories about and photos of their babies. There have been a number of preemie-moms-to-be on this board recently, so I thought it would be fun for us to have our own Week of Inspiration. We truly do have some amazing stories on this board.
Here's an example to start us off:
Peter was born at 27 weeks, 5 days, 24 hours after I received my first steroid injection. My labor was very fast, so he slid right out vaginally, feet-first when my water broke. Unfortunately, we were not ready to deliver him when my water broke (no one thought I was in labor, so I was still in antepartum), and he spent 15 minutes in limbo - lower half delivered, upper half in my uterus - before the NICU team was ready for me to push out his head. Understandably, he had low Apgar scores (1 and 4) and a placenta that showed signs of hypoxia when he was delivered. I simply assumed that we would be facing a lifetime of neurodevelopmental impairment. My sister was born 7 weeks early and has CP and other neurodevelopmental disabilities, so this was all too familiar.
Thankfully and amazingly, I never saw Peter on a ventilator. After he got his dose of exogenous lung surfactant, he did just fine on CPAP. Once his PDA closed, he was able to go completely off respiratory support for a week.
Thankfully and amazingly, despite his rough delivery, Peter only had a unilateral grade 1 intraventricular hemorrhage.
Peter was discharged after 73 days in the NICU weighing 2420 grams, exactly twice his birth weight. Since he came home, he hasn't looked back. I couldn't ask for a healthier kid, and at this point, it's obvious that we avoided the the neurological issues that challenge my sister. He will be 3 years old in 3 weeks. He loves to, as he says, "run and jump and play." He has been obsessed with learning letters and numbers and shapes since he was 18 months old. Nowadays, he surprises me by reading sight words that I didn't even know that he knew.
I'm a lucky mommy. Peter has come so far; I know I can't take anything for granted.
One week old, 2 lbs 5 oz, and off oxygen for the first time:
9 months old, 15 lbs
2 years 9 months - not sure about weight - maybe 27 lbs?
Let's see some more inspiring babies! If you just want to post "then" and "now" photos or if you only want to tell your story, that's totally fine.

Louisiana College?s Danisha Allison (10) looks to pass against the University of Texas-Tyler. LC plays Rhodes tonight at 7:30 p.m. in the opening round of the NCAA Division III tournament.

Memphis, Tenn., may be the blues capital of the world, but the up-tempo Louisiana College Lady Wildcats hope to make it their weekend jazz capital as they open play tonight in the NCAA Division III women's basketball tournament.
LC (24-4) will play a first-round game at 7:30 p.m. against Rhodes (24-3) at Rhodes' Mallory-Hyde Gymnasium.
The Rhodes Lynx beat Millsaps, 66-64, in the championship game of the Southern Athletic Association Tournament to earn an automatic berth in the tournament. LC, which opened the season with a 97-77 victory over Millsaps on Nov. 15, received an at-large bid to ...

Is there any chance that you will abandon this new search? I really hate it. I often do a search for my own user name to see what activity has happened in threads that I have posted in. I can't seem to make it do that at all now. This would be a major blow to the functionality of BF for me.
Before a nice list of threads would come up with bold titles for the ones with new material. Now I get the texts of my posts. I post in several forums, and this will make it very difficult to keep track of the threads I am participating in.
barba, as an alternative, you can subscribe to the threads you post in and get an email. Not the same as a nice list, but you will have something. This can be done automatically in your control panel.
I know, but I am uninterested in being spamed by the forum just to keep track of threads. I get enough email as it is.
Thanks for the tip, though.
Well, you can subscribe automatically to threads you post in and not receive emails. Then go to your profile and click on the link to "List Subscriptions". This seems to give a list of all threads you have posted in, with bold titles that you have not read yet. Would this help?
I'll give it a try. Thanks.

Thank you for your interest fellows. It is appreciated. Actually this thread was meant as a spot of fun with Nicole.
it has been very in formative though. I did not realize that anyone else in Australia used a camera. Guess I have been seeing too many cave painting by aborigines on the tube.

While there's no shortage of 3DS iterations headed to the market, Nintendo is having a harder time selling its new Wii U. Profits for the year are also half of its own predictions, despite the fact that Nintendo reduced its rosy estimates in the interim. Net sales are down 1.9 percent over the last year, down to 635 billion yen, but most importantly the company has managed to turn its net income into positive figures, netting 7 billion yen over the last year, compared to a 40 billion yen loss the year before. Following its launch, Wii U sales have slowed substantially, with only 390,000 units sold since December (now totaling 3.45 million), while the 3DS continues to sell in healthier numbers, with Nintendo shifting 1.25 million handhelds in the same period.
Focusing on the next year, the company maintains that it'll increase net income to 10 billion yen in the next twelve months, with a focus on selling "the compelling nature" of its gaming hardware, as well as pushing its 3DS more in foreign markets. The financial statement adds that the games maker plans to concentrate on "proactively releasing key Nintendo titles" starting the second half of this year "in order to regain momentum." Those key titles will have to hit hard, as certain competitors' new consoles are creeping closer.
In related news, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata is taking on a second role as CEO at Nintendo of America, today's report states. Current NoA figurehead Reggie Fils-Aime will stay on as COO, overseen directly by Iwata.

Hey dude, you're amazing ! Nice improvments in 2 years, it's crazy the way you worked your ass off, and now you're working for Mb ! You're the best example for me, because i also wanna reach this goal :p Anyway, i know it's too late, but i find that for the marvel's cover you should vary hand's poses, because the 4 hands looks really similar, they are just seen from different angles ! Especially for the girl, so changing on of the girl's hands would give her more appeal ( i guess ) ! Well that was my 2 cents, from a beginner ! Anyway keep it up and post more art !

Woaaahhhhhh the spider piece is one of the best paintings i've seen recently! The ice is perfect
Great SB!! keep it up!
hi all : )
So here's my very first cover for Marvel comics (woot!). I did it within a 5 day deadline from thumbnail to completed picture. It was the tightest deadline I ever had for anything and I'm mildly satisifed with the result. Kind of wish I was able to work out some the kinks in it before it went to press. I'm going to push poses harder on future covers as looking back at this one I feel some of the characters are a tad stiff and "plasticky".
The dress and logo were used as a template for what will eventually be added on by someone else before it goes to press.
C and C always welcome : )

Man your work looks so 3D like I could reach out and grab it, and make love to it, then give it back to you and you won't want it back cos it'll have strange stains and saliva and stuff all over it.

Great stuff Mike especially with that deadline! I knew it was a matter of time till I saw your work on Marvels covers ever since you posted that "test" congrats. Hope to see many more.
Wow, I love that daredevil piece, it is some proper good stuff on the later posts as well
Lovely man, real real lovely^^
Hi all! Long time no post. I hope every one had the merriest of holidays and at least a good buzz on new years. Here are a bunch of sketches I did over the last month and a half. Though last year was a busy year for me professionally, I hardly did any sketch book drawing and it became apparent to me that I sucked at getting an idea down quickly and efficiently. I figure since well over 50% of the work I have to do is in the sketch phase I should become more efficient at it. After filling up a couple sketch books, these are the ones I felt most comfortable showing. I continue to sketch after work and will most likely continue posting these in batches.
For a bit of context for anyone curious, my new found "fervor" for quick sketching was brought on by reading through this terrific text on gesture drawing for animation called "Gesture Drawing for Animation" : ) by Walt Stanchfield. Perhaps most of you have had a gesture drawing course (or several) so parts of the text may be old hat, but I STRONGLY urge anyone either professional, ho-fessional and student alike to give this a good read because he offers some great ideas on mental engagement and letting go of unimportant information.
You'll probably notice a couple mini albert dorne studies and a zorn in the mix for good measure too : )
Please feel free to comment and critique.

Love everything in this update. Is the "gesture drawing..." book on top of the "Drawn from Life" books or are they more or less the same thing? I got the "Drawn..." books for XMas, so I'm wondering if I should shell out some more $$$ for the other one...

woah...amazing update, im for sure reading that book now.
The sketches of the seated people drawing are especially nice, and you end up with some cool compositional stuff, i think, in some of your pages. Congrats also on the Marvel Cover. That has to be cool as hell to have.
Great sketches!
Love to see pencil sketches!
Keep sharing those!

And Maidana? Who has only really beaten Broner, is more worthy than Manny? GTFOH FLOYD!!Posted February 6, 2014 2:41 am
Old Coot
Yet Floyd somehow thinks Khan or Maidana are more worthy than Manny? Khan, a guy who has 2 recent, legit beat-down losses, has so-so power, and a questionable chin IS WORTHY?Posted February 6, 2014 2:40 am
Old Coot
It's total BS, how Floyd pretends Manny is somehow unworthy, after getting robbed against Bradley by two blind judges, and after only getting KO'd when he got greedy and careless against Marquez, while going for his own KO in a fight he was CLEARLY dominating. AND after Manny wiped the Floor with Rios…Posted February 6, 2014 2:39 am
Old Coot
Hey Floyd you got enough money for 3 lifetimes… Why didn't you take Manny up on his charity offer and help out some charities?! Phony clown!Posted February 6, 2014 2:26 am

You notice he waited to do this after Manny chose Bradley… Floyd is such a BS artist.Posted February 6, 2014 2:24 am
Floyd xylocaine mayweather
What a dumb move, but I am sure floyd fans will it say it's a brave move.Posted February 5, 2014 6:44 pm
Why does floyd always insist on making easy fights but yet, expect fans to pay for such non sense. What could possibly be the odds for either one? Perhaps like -999 to +150Posted February 5, 2014 4:46 pm
They need a third option, None of the Above!!Posted February 5, 2014 4:44 pm
Khan is about to overtake Maidana in the voting. This is sad news. Khan begged his Twitter followers to vote and although most of them probably aren't genuine PPV customers, they are still voting in huge numbers for their idol. We have to do more to get votes for Maidana guys. Come on, otherwise undeserving Khan will get the shot and boxing will become a joke sport !!!!Posted February 5, 2014 2:40 pm
Dr. Phil Thieze-Knutz
I vote for Khan vs. Judah for the gatekeeper title of the world.Posted February 5, 2014 2:28 pm
Guys get voting for Maidana. Khan is now begging his Twitter followers to vote for him. How embarrassing. Khan don't deserve it. Get voting for El Chino.Posted February 5, 2014 1:32 pm
Khan should fight Broner….Posted February 5, 2014 10:46 am
Khan's followers might win him the vote. Those followers probably are not PPV customers but they can still vote. Shame as Maidana deserves it more than chinny boy. The whole boxing world knows Khan is a joke so it will be a horrible experience for Floyd fighting a guy who has ZERO credibility in the sport.Posted February 5, 2014 6:07 am
Khan doesn't have any confidence… Or he would have lived up to his agreement to fight Alexander.
He doesn't need andy confidence… All he needs is a Floyd fight. If he answers the bell for round one he'll be rich. That's his Ortiz like plan.Posted February 5, 2014 4:21 am

peej. your taking stupid stuff. floyd has all the 147lb title and the rest are are titles.?
the others 147 lb belts are maiden, shawn porter, bradley, and floyd.

dumb ass british chavs, wiggers and n***ers will buy this garbage. trash.Posted February 4, 2014 10:19 pm
The Mayweather fans feels that Mayweather wins or fights is being downgraded because they wanted Mayweather to be heralded as the GREATEST FIGHTER OF ALL TIME. On the other hand Mayweather fans downgrade Pacquiao wins and magnify Pacquiao loses because they are afraid that Pacquiao's case in fighting Mayweather gets stronger. The boxing fans however is tired of Pacquiao or Mayweather fighting other fighters. BUT TAKE NOTE: only the Mayweather fans doesn't want the fight. And you can see it in their comments.Posted February 4, 2014 8:54 pm
Darn Garth, I bet that would bring in more money than Khan and Big Show put together.Posted February 4, 2014 8:52 pm
Dont foget how Floyd had to promise Mrs. Jackson that he could get her a better music deal than Fifty. Of course both were just bullshiiting her for you know what.
Anyway, my vote is for Floyd Vs. Fifty MMA style!!!!!!!Posted February 4, 2014 8:47 pm
Maidana has earned his shot where as the clown Khan is once again being gifted a shot at a title based on his hype.
Let's let Mayweather retire this mug so that the Maidana's get their dues!Posted February 4, 2014 8:38 pm
Damn guys, Khan is catching Maidana up fast in the vote, 60% Maidana 40% Khan with Khan votes catching him up quickly. Get everyone you voting for Maidana guys, he's earned it, Khan hasn't.Posted February 4, 2014 7:30 pm

Maidana lost to Khan. True, but you all forget that was before he hired Robert Garcia. Since that move hes morphed into a different fighter. Khan is still the same big mouth bigot with a glass chin. Just look at all his recent fights, Khan is NOT disciplined at all. He starts off well then gets wreckless and gets KTFO. Khan would lose to Maidana now and would definately lose to Pacquioa or Mayweather.Posted February 4, 2014 5:46 pm

Garcia robbed Khan of his confidence with his fist, not a twitter account.Posted February 4, 2014 4:56 pm

Fight Aficionado
What confidence?Posted February 4, 2014 4:24 pm
A mere con would a easy night for Floyd, hell he could beat Kahn and Maidana on the same night. But anyone Floyd chooses to fight people will say is cherry picked so it dont matter.Posted February 4, 2014 4:11 pm
Hidalgo also those belts pretty much make you chose one of the belts and vacate the others. So there really is no way to keep all the belts.Posted February 4, 2014 3:26 pm
Sorry Hidaldo there is only one champ at Welter and that is Floyd. Everybody else with a title is just a titlest. The NABO title said champion on it. And that is a belt you get when you are just starting out most times. He won the IBF from Zab, Mosley was the WBA titlest when he fought him so Floyd has won 3 out of 4 titles. He is the champion. He never lost those belts in the ring. Sorry but Floyd is the lineal champ at 147 and even at 154 though he will probably give that upPosted February 4, 2014 3:25 pm
BTW, who cares about Khan's confidence? Mayweather is just looking for another edge over another opponent. Khan should go back to his pub-hopping and street fighting until the fight is officially announced.Posted February 4, 2014 3:15 pm
"People talk about unifying those belts even though Floyd is the Linear Champion, the titles mean nothing."
I don't get what you're saying here, Peej. But like it or not, there are a number of other champions in the welterweight and jr. middleweight divisions. And guess what? Those sanctioning bodies, and titles and belts and championships aren't going away anytime soon.
Being awarded a title as the "linear champion" means about as much as a P4P ranking. There's a lot of myth behind both designations. Whereas with the WBC, WBA, WBO, and IBF titles, boxers actually have to fight to win them. They don't get awarded by a non-sanctioning bodies that hand out trophiesPosted February 4, 2014 3:13 pm

They shouldn't pay to see PAC fights they are the same old fights in house top rank fights but PAC fan like bob getting over on them so keep waisting money lol I don't blame arum i would keep getting over on y'all to lolPosted February 4, 2014 2:24 pm
Is it true that a 10-year old girl could knock Khan out in a pillow fight? Even if he wears a head guard? Man, vote Maidana for the Floyd fight.Posted February 4, 2014 2:20 pm
Floyd fighting ggg lol that's stupid Floyd only weight 146-150 walk around weight plus ggg going for Sergio or ward Mw not going down so stop that talk lolPosted February 4, 2014 2:20 pm
moonshineman, go ahead. Pac fans have been saying they are going to boycott Floyd for years. I guess yall are finally serious about it this time. Yall need to talk to Pac and company though and see what the hold up is on negotiating with Floyd. Roach already said he thought Arum would be ok with them negotiating with out him for this fight. Arum already stated that he would be ok with all money going to charity. So he should be ok for Pac to negotiate with out him.Posted February 4, 2014 2:17 pm
He'll PAC won't even fight Canelo PAC just fights the same old in house fights over and over fixed rip off fights no juice no big win lolPosted February 4, 2014 2:11 pm
Floyd fighting ggg come on get real why y'all don't want PAC to fight him but y'all want Floyd to fight him and far as Floyd not taking a risk he has done that get real y'all just hatersPosted February 4, 2014 2:09 pm
Pac fans can boycott any fight they want. The obviously boycotted Pacs last fight. lol
We will, my friend, we will………..Posted February 4, 2014 2:09 pm
Why would Pacquaio fans pay to see a fighter who is 2 chicken to fight their guy. We are not as stupid as Mayweather fans. Khan and Maidana, hahahahahahahahaPosted February 4, 2014 2:08 pm
The Pac fight lost all interest in 2009 when he looked like a threat, the only people who want the fight now are pactards stuck in 2009. His no longer a threat now as a matter of fact Bradley would be a better choice at the moment but with the cold war between the networks and promoters neither fights will happen.Posted February 4, 2014 2:01 pm
Mr Gav – why would knowledgeable fan want a former Jnr Lightweight champ who at 37yrs old fights as a WW and can hardly make 150lbs fight a MW?Posted February 4, 2014 1:57 pm

NO, we don't want Smoger refereeing it, he's bad, man, bad…Posted February 4, 2014 1:37 pm
Dylan Bradley McConnaughey
Floyd Mayweather, who is a fine boxer alright, gives you a choice of Maidana or Khan, but leaves out Pacquiao and GGG. Floyd, you should fight the Pacman while you can.Posted February 4, 2014 1:36 pm
you can never satisfy a hater no matter what you do , that even if floyd beats king kong pac fans will always find excuses , now that maidana is a serious option they started to downgrade the fight its ridiculous.Posted February 4, 2014 1:14 pm
Good point about the referee, if Maidana wins the vote and gets the fight, we want Steve Smoger referring it. Maybe the next vote should be for the referee lolPosted February 4, 2014 12:48 pm
Mr gav
I stand by my statement saying mayweather is clever, though it's probably his management team doing the business Floyd is the one who hired them. He is simply taking low risk fights for big money anyone who can achive that is pretty smart in my books. However this stunt is aimed at plastic fans who know very little about boxing and most probally won't even watch this fight but it has caused enough media attention to make a decent ppv sales. However the May date can be written off for Floyd having any decent competion and we can already look past May into September where a more formidable opponent should arise, marteniz PAC man and GGG should be available but that's just a fantasy I'm guessing Floyd will fight the both khan and maidina this yearPosted February 4, 2014 12:38 pm
A while ago some folks were making wild claims about how Maidana was going to destroy Floyd Since he dominated Broner, but as soon as Maidana was officially mentioned as a possible choice for a May 5 showdown with Floyd, all floyd's critics have started to lower the significance of a Floyd victory.Posted February 4, 2014 12:35 pm
Important word missed:…" Maidana will not stop punching …" SorryPosted February 4, 2014 12:25 pm
Again I would say,if Maidana is chosen to fight Mayweather the referee would be a factor in this fight. If Steve Smoger is the ref Maidana had a chance. But if the ref is Robert Byrd or Joe Cortez Maidana has no chance. You know why? Because Maidana is a swarmer ,which is ideal against Mayweather, but as soon as Mayweather is cornered he will grab and hold ,which is the right thing to do, but Maidana will stop punching even how tight you hold him. We see that against Broner. Now if Robert Byrd is the, he will break them apart right away. I see that with the Guerrero fight. Then the fight is over because Maidana will be picked apart from the distance.Posted February 4, 2014 12:22 pm
I'm from the UK and I don't want kahn to get the fight. No way in hell does he deserver it. But really it tells you all you need to know about Mayweather that he's even being considered. If Floyd wants the fans to decide. Why not put every world level fighter from 140 to 154 in and let the fans decide.Posted February 4, 2014 12:17 pm
Looks like the UK fans have been boosting Khan's vote, it's up to 37% with Maidana on 63%. When the USA fans come online they should boost El Chino back up to 70%. Come on guys, let's get Maidana this fight. Khan is a joke.Posted February 4, 2014 12:08 pm
Pac fans can boycott any fight they want. The obviously boycotted Pacs last fight. lolPosted February 4, 2014 12:05 pm
What I find funny is that people where saying Floyd would not fight Maidana because Maidana had balls. Now that he is somewhat talking about fighting him people are saying he is once again cherry picking. Maidana has a good body of work. Has beat some good fighters. He has a belt at 147. People talk about unifying those belts even though Floyd is the Linear Champion, the titles mean nothing. But he is talking about fighting Maidana and now the excuses start. That is how you know he is great. The simple fact that no matter who he fights, it will always be a cherry picked fight.Posted February 4, 2014 12:05 pm
What Mayweather means is he is going to let HIS FANS vote. Pacquiao fans are going to Boycott the fight.Posted February 4, 2014 12:05 pm
80% to 20%. So it's done. With such a large margin Maidana will no doubt win this poll.
Belts are just trinkets for promoters to advertize their fighters with.Posted February 4, 2014 11:07 am
As dominant as Miadana was over Broner Khan would beat him worse than Miadana did.Posted February 4, 2014 11:03 am
Brilliant move by Floyd the public will pick Miadana because of his performance against Broner not knowing his whole body of work. I recently showed a friend his performance against Broner and he immediately he became a Miadana fan claiming he has the best style to attack Floyd. I tried to explain to him that he needed to watch all of Miadanas fights and understand Broner is overhyped and flatfooted but he wouldn't hear none of it. Hes the typical casual fan who fell for the same gimmick with the whole hype that Canelo was Floyd's toughest opponent available. So although Khan is the much tougher matchup for Floyd he will be easily avoided then after shutting Miadana out Floyd can claim thats who the public picked for him he beats whoever they put in front if him bla bla bla and boxing biggest con artist continues shamming the uniformed public setting boxing back a 100 years.Posted February 4, 2014 10:58 am
tbones…so what manny lost more times than khan, what does that mean? Ali lost 6 times. Sugar Ray Robinson lost 19 times, Frazier lost 4 and Tyson 6….DLH also lost 6 times. But these losses do not defined who they were as fighters because if it did, then none of these fighters would be known today. Similarly, Pac may have lost but it's what a fighter does after that defines their character and their greatness. Khan may have less losses than Pac…so do many others however, Pac and Khan are like night and day in terms of skill, heart and over all tenacity to dare to be great. Khan was never selected as fighter of the decade among other accolades so, losses is not the sole measure by which a great fighter is judged. The best fighters that ever lived have losses. If a fighter doesn't have losses most probably he's never fought elite fighters.Posted February 4, 2014 10:53 am
Maidana is a much better fighter than what he when he fought Con.Posted February 4, 2014 10:36 am
Hmmm, decide between just these two fighters?.. About the only tangible that is known regardless of who is chosen between these two is..that either will lose. Certainly there must be other fighters MUCH better than these two. Khan never fought at 147 and Maidana has only fought once. There are other champs at 147 who are better so, to select from just these two is an insult to boxing and the fans who support their livelihood.Posted February 4, 2014 10:30 am
Khan's Cuz Achmed
Floydee is getting more and more scared to face King Amir. Ohhh wow Maidana beat over hyped baby Floyd Broner. Guess what though, King Khan already beat Maidana. Now it's time to drop Broner's daddy Floyd. Don't chicken out Floydee. #KingKhan2014 #FloydeesShakingAlready #NoWayOutPosted February 4, 2014 10:19 am
Didn't Khan beat Maidana though? This seems to have been forgotten.Posted February 4, 2014 9:48 am
It's a bit sad that the only reason people want to see Khan get the Floyd fight is because he is likely to get dropped and do the funky chicken dance. People are only voting for Khan because he's vulnerable and likely to get hurt. So many people find that exciting. He's become a circus act boxer, someone who people watch not because he's brilliant, but because he's so brittle. Sorry but I don't want to watch Khan just to see him get smashed. We all call it "drama" and so many people say that "Khan brings excitement to the ring" but really all you are saying is "it's funny when he gets beat up and KO'd". That's not a good enough reason to say he should fight Floyd. Maidana is a more worthy opponent and he's not a freak show like Khan.Posted February 4, 2014 9:14 am
Khan or Maidana? Maidana. Or even better, ask the fans who they want you to fight. But I guess that would be a bit risky, ey, FMJ? ;-)Posted February 4, 2014 8:49 am
can anybody really tell me when Khan was in a bad fight? dont all his fights have drama? the only problem everyone has with him truly is that he cant keep his mouth shut. He's a bit brash and seems in his mind to be bigger than shat… Do u think Maidana is gonna catch Floyd? When was the last time you ever seen Floyd hit with two or more consecutive punches (dont say cotto)? it was with Zab Judah. He posed the biggest problem it was a good fight until Zab got frustrated. You tube the fight. Why do you think Danny Garcia didnt give Khan a rematch..(it was lucrative) He himself said that its gonna be a better fight than most think and I agree… At least we know Khan goes out Guns Blazing…unlike a certain welter with a repaired Glass jaw….(Ortiz anyone)Posted February 4, 2014 8:23 am

What is this confidence of which Mayweather may rob Amir Khan? Certainly it cannot be based on Khan's pugilistic success. Rather it must be described outrageous insolence or perhaps effrontery – but certainly not confidence, as Khan has not a record on which confidence may be built. No, in fact I've figured it out: it is unmitigated gall and that alone which Amir Khan would bring into the ring against Floyd Mayweather Jr.Posted February 4, 2014 5:09 am

Floyd is in a no win situation, all these so called experts say Kahn has a style that can give him problems? But if you recall they said the same thing about Alverez, Cotto and a host of others. And as soon as he beats and dominates these guys then all of a sudden cherry picked. But before the fight they could beat him. How can you cherry pick a undefeated guy or a champion? Actually if Floyd fought Manny tomorrow the same idiots would say that he waited until Manny was past his prime or why is he picking on smaller guys. Like they said he he beat Marquez the same dude who KTFO of Manny. Floyd no matter what he does people will find a way to cry because he is on top and they guy is not. But thats life and until someone knocks him off he will hold the crown.Posted February 4, 2014 12:56 am
Killa actually Manny is no better than Kahn the both had embarrassing KOs, Fact is Manny lost more times than Kahn, And Kahn has a bigger fan base than Manny retard which equals more money and without having to deal with Arum. Actually Floyd would be stupid not to fight Kahn for the money he will make a killing you see what people dont understand in Floyd has just as many haters as he does fand that adds to the hype because they will pay to watch in hope he will get beat and he makes all the loot its a ctach 22. But who are the worthy fighters who should get a shot? Manny is fighting Bradley both fighters who Arum ownes and regardless of what his lying ass says wants no parts of Floyd so that leaves. Kahn or Maidana, Maidana will most likely face Broner again. Danny Garcia is 140lbs he is not ready nor is Thurman. Kahn is the only logical choice by May 5th. Manny is worthy to fight Floyd? Manny wont get past Bradley guaranteed…Posted February 4, 2014 12:35 am

Kahn has s style that can give Floyd problems? Really if Danny Garcia and Lamont Peterson dropped him what in the hell can he do to Floyd? Oh they somehow better than Mayweather? Thats a joke, Kahn is another notch on the belt. No one can beat Floyd not even Manny so as far as worthy fighters there are none. GGG is way to big he is 160 lbs a middleweight. Besides Floyd has troubles even making 154lbs. He is best at 147 lbs. Manny is with Top rank who has they mind set on Bradley II or even a Bradley vs. Manny III if the next fight dont go right then a Marquez vs. Manny 5. Floyd will beat Kahn or Maidana easy hell to make it more interesting he could beat them on the same night at the same time. Floyd is simply running out of guys to not only fight but who can even challenge him in the ring Alverez was it and you seen what he did to him.Posted February 4, 2014 12:20 am

Boycott all of Mayweather's fights. He needs to be forced to fight Manny Pacquiao by boxing fans. Maidana and Khan are perfectly made for Mayweather. Stop letting this guy take your money and laugh all the way to the bank. Put your vote in for Manny Pacquiao. He loses millions on the broncos, now he wants to have a get together with fans tovote for his next fight. yes, vote for Manny, and see what he does.Posted February 3, 2014 5:12 pm
"At this point, with nothing left to prove, may is fighting for legacy."
Wrong on both counts: he has yet to prove he's better than Pacquiao, and that he's prepared to take risks (by e.g. fighting Golovkin at 154); and he's not fighting for "legacy", he's fighting for money — he has a big family to keep on daily cocaine for life after he retires!Posted February 3, 2014 5:02 pm
No one wants to see either if those. At this point, with nothing left to prove, may is fighting for legacy. Pac, Martinez, or GGG are the only logical choices remaining.Posted February 3, 2014 4:59 pm

He gets hurt bad in every fight and he's been to sleep more than once. He wouldn't last half a fight in a rematch with Maidana. I would like to see Mayweather put him to sleep though.

Mayweather is very clever, the fight with khan has been hard to sell (to critics) as a genuine challenge. The fight is a done deal. So after the "poll" mayweather can claim the khan fight was "fans choice". Though on his Twitter PAC man has more mention. As for his speed mayweather can cancell that out very easily, Floyd is a master of the ring and can cancell out all khans speed without a problem. As for maidina Floyd has no intention right now to fight him the ££££££ is fighting khan in May. As for September who knows? But the May date is only a tune up fightPosted February 3, 2014 4:12 pm

Fuses are a $2 billion USD global market found in industrial, automotive, residential and digital electronic markets worldwide. It is an important sub-segment of the $6 billion global market for Circuit Protection components made up of multiple sub-types and configurations designed to fit the circuit application requiring protection against overcurrent. In their new report entitled "Electrical & Electronic Fuses: 2015-2019 World Markets, Technologies & Opportunities", Paumanok Publications, Inc. breaks down the global fuse markets into its unique granular segments. This process shows that multiple end-markets exist for the product line in relatively small comparable volumes and high relative market value due to the various types of expensive AC and DC power related devices that need fuse protection. This market environment of placing emphasis on value and less on price make them lucrative markets for those in the supply chain. We break down the market for fuses into six categories based upon component configuration; including thick and thin film chip fuses, miniature glass cartridge fuses, automotive blade fuses, radial leaded micro fuses, industrial grade power fuses and polymer PTC resettable fuses.
