RANT: The Rules of Breaking Up
There seems to have been some confusion regarding division of property and space since we have broken up. YOU, hereafter referred to as the Dumper, do not retain the same rights to such things as ME, hereafter referred to as the Dumpee. Clearly the Dumpee has been wronged (except in certain situations, see Section 1(b) below), and thus retains more rights than the Dumper. To clarify, I have assembled a crack legal team to outline this document, so that you will quit being a complete and total prick. Actually, not all of these things apply to us, but for the sake of friends, family, and members of the general public who have also been Dumped, I've included other situations.
This document applies only to those relationships that involved terms such as "boyfriend" and "girlfriend," not couples who have taken that long argumentative road-trip that ends in the State of Matrimony. Caveats have been made for engagement, as most rules still apply.
Section 1: Terms of Separation (hereafter termed the Breakup)
(a) The rights of the Dumpee shall be directly proportional to the severity and immaturity of the methods of Separation used by the Dumper. For example, a Dumper (hereafter termed a Good Dumper) who breaks up with Dumpee face-to-face, in person, in a private place, and outlines issues which the Dumpee was aware of, and in fact is not too surprised at, with said discussion ending in a tearful hug cherished by both parties, and perhaps an incident of Goodbye Sex, shall not be severely punished. However, a Dumper (hereafter termed a Bad Dumper) who breaks up with a Dumpee in an especially cowardly way, such as over the phone, through email, or by having a friend tell the Dumpee, shall experience extensive limitations on rights after the Breakup. Most severely punished shall be those Dumpers (hereafter termed Assholes) who repeatedly Breakup and then Beg Forgiveness, and Dumpers who have Cheated.
(b) Exceptions to the Dumper/Dumpee division of rights are as follows: Dumpees who provoke the Breakup by avoiding the Dumper until such time as the Dumper feels forced to end the relationship. Dumpees who intentionally get caught Cheating and are shortly afterward, Dumped. These Dumpees shall be considered as Dumpers for the purposes of this document.
Section 2: Division of Property and Space
(a) Material Property
(1) If the Dumper is a Good Dumper, all material property that Dumper brought to the relationship shall be returned to the Dumper. Likewise, all property the Dumpee possessed before the relationship shall be returned to the Dumpee.
(2) If the Dumper is a Bad Dumper, or an Asshole, Dumpee has the right to destroy or sell any property left for any period of time in the Dumpee's possession. This includes, but is not limited to, furniture, electronics, kitchen wares, clothing, CDs, and cars. Dumpee is aware that destruction of items holds a possibility of legal ramifications and continuous retaliation, and destroys Dumper's property then at their discretion.
(b) Gifts
(1) Dumpee retains all rights to gifts he or she received during the relationship, especially expensive ones. In the case of a Good Dumper, Dumpee can determine whether return of these gifts is acceptable. If the Dumper was female, and the Dumpee was male, and said parties were engaged, and said engagement ended in a Good Breakup, the engagement ring should be returned to the Dumpee. If the Dumpee does not want the ring, the Dumper can sell it on Craigslist and split the profits with the Dumpee. Bad Dumpers and Assholes retain no rights to jewelry or cars.
(2) Dumpee can, if feeling spiteful, box up all gifts received from the Dumper and return them to Dumper with a tear-stained letter. Dumper should feel sufficiently bad, and should not, under any circumstances, maintain possession of these gifts in order to give them to future Girlfriends/Boyfriends. Said gifts should be sold and Dumper is then welcome to use the money to take a vacation to Tahoe and hopefully, break their leg skiing.
(c) Exchange of Property
(1) If the couple was living together, and the Dumper has moved out, the Dumper should send a friend to pick up his or her belongings. The exception is a Good Dumper, who may be on sufficiently good terms with Dumpee to come back and retrieve their own things. If this is the case, it should still be done while the Dumpee is Not Home. Bad Dumpers and Assholes forfeit their belongings, as outlined in Section 2: (a)2.
(2) If the couple was living together, and the Dumpee has moved out, the Dumpee will send a friend to pick up his or her belongings at an appointed date and time. Said friend will not be late and will not linger. Said friend may make a few rude remarks to the Dumper, but such remarks should be brief and to the point. Again, if the Dumper is a Good Dumper, the Dumpee can pick up their own belongings when the Dumper is Not Home.
(3) If the couple did not live together, exchange of property should be done in public at an appointed date and time. Both parties shall be on time and shall not linger. Again, rude remarks shall be brief.
(4) Items not claimed by the Dumper within one calendar month after the Breakup are the property of the Dumpee, unless exchange of property arrangements were made prior to the end of that month. Likewise is true for items not claimed by the Dumpee.
(5) Items that "Cannot Be Found" by either party shall be considered a lost cause after one month. If it was really that important, you shouldn't have let that idiot have it.
(d) Big Ticket Items
(1) If the relationship included the purchase of a car, a house, a prize-winning show dog, or other such item of which you now both have dual legal ownership, you are in Deep Shit. Maybe you should have thought about making that kind of investment together before you pissed your whole life away? Wait until you're married, dumbass.
(e) The Pet
(1) See Section 2: Article (d)1 first. If you still want to deal with the Pet (hereafter termed the Dog), we'll continue. Dogs that were owned by either party before the commencement of the relationship shall return to their original owners. Dogs acquired during the course of the relationship shall preferably go with the owner who gave them the most care. C'mon, you know there's one of you who did all the feeding, the training, the walking, the pooper-scooping, the leash-buying and the ball-tossing. The Dog goes with that one. Except in the case where that person is a Bad Dumper or an Asshole, in which case, Dumpee retains possession of the Dog. There shall be no Split Custody, or Visitation Rights involving the Dog. It's not good for the Dog, and it's not good for you. If all things regarding the Dog were absolutely equal, then a Poll of Friends may be taken, or a Coin may be Flipped. Decisions made by PoF or CF about the Dog are final. If you did not get the Dog, and you are distraught, wait 2 weeks until your head clears, and then go to the Humane Society and get another one. You will be much happier that way.
(f) The Kid
(1) Sigh. Okay, first see Section 2: Article (d)1. You are an idiot. Haven't you heard of birth control? Well now it's not just you in this boat, so a lot of the earlier terms and conditions about Dumpers and Dumpees may not apply. Even if your Breakup involved a Bad Dumper or an Asshole, you will have to be nice, for the Sake of the Kid. This is really outside the range of this document, so go to court and try not to screw up your Kid's life any more than you already have.
Section 3: The Friends
(a) The Dumpee gets the Friends. Sorry, dems da breaks. If you were smart about picking your relationship, you were dating somebody who was not from your immediate circle of friends, so when you Breakup, you each go cry to your respective group and everything is dandy. Unfortunately, many friends become Booty Calls, which can then become That Girl I'm Sorta Dating, which can then become Your Girlfriend. Relationships over one year also have a high incidence of Combined Friends. Regardless, the Dumpee still gets the Friends! But there are some details/exceptions/conditions associated with the possible future division of Friends, so here they are:
Specifics of Division of Friends
(1) In the case of a Good Dumper, Split Custody is acceptable. Within the first 6 months, a Good Dumper has the right to still hang out with the Friends, but only if the Dumpee is not present. After 6 months, it is acceptable for the Dumper to call the Dumpee and request mutual access to the Friends. If Dumpee is amenable, the two may attend a party or barbeque together with the Friends. The Good Dumper is at all times aware of the Dumpee's feelings, and will be the first to leave if things get awkward. After one year, expect normal Friend-Dumper-Dumpee interactions to resume. If you got dumped by a Good Dumper and you are all hanging out again after a year and you're totally cool and you're not strongly reconsidering getting back together, then Damn. He's probably gay. That's cool that you guys are still friends though. Maybe you can shop and stuff.
(2) In the case of a Bad Dumper, Visitation Rights are acceptable, under some circumstances. Bad Dumper only retains Friendship Rights with his or her Best Friend, and then, only at Best Friend's discretion. Everyone else is fully justified in telling you to piss off. After one year, a Split Custody arrangement may be made, but Bad Dumper is never to be allowed at a party that the Dumpee is attending. This must be enforced strongly by Friends and the Dumpee.
(3) In the case of an Asshole, no rights are retained regarding the Friends. Not even to the Best Friend. You fucked up but good, so now go find yourself a bunch of shallow, selfish people just like yourself, so you can all get drunk and stab each other in the back. This also applies to such Dumpers described in Section 1; Article (b), as those Dumpers who pose as Dumpees are especially despicable.
(b) Relationships with Friends after the Breakup
(1) Under NO circumstances is a Dumper allowed to sleep with any of the Friends after the Breakup. ESPECIALLY the Dumpee's Best Friend, but truly, there are NO exceptions. Even if she says it's okay. Even if you guys have a long talk about it and she says it's fine and she wants you to be happy. You better take a good look at a girl's Friends before you get Committed, because if you would ever like to possibly sleep with one of those girls, you should not enter into the Relationship. Good Dumpers who break this rule can then be qualified as Bad Dumpers. Sleeping with the Best Friend immediately qualifies you as an Asshole. (Best Friend can also then be Broken Up With, and most of the terms of this document apply.) Remember, Assholes are open to justifiable destruction of property, and are often deserving of a swift kick in the Balls.
Section 4: The Neighborhood
(a) The Dumpee retains all rights to the Neighborhood, including but not limited to, grocery stores, shopping malls, dog parks, coffee shops, bars, hang-outs, strip malls, carwashes, and restaurants. If the Dumper sees the Dumpee in one of these places, the Dumper must immediately leave. The only exception is a Good Dumper who is back on Good Terms with the Dumpee, especially one year or more after the Breakup. See Section 3; Article (a)1 for details.
All terms of this document are not legally binding, but they make a hell of a lot of sense. Don't be an Asshole, and your life will be so much easier.
(In case you didn't get it, this means I get the stuff, the friends and the hangouts. Quit whining about your freaking sweatshirt and stay the fuck away from me.)

Get along best with men who are extremely active, willing to try anything, great conversationalists, have great sense of humor and also have time and the ability to enjoy what life has to offer. While sensuality is a very important part of my nature, connecting with a man on an emotional, energetic, and spiritual level is of primary importance.
I am athletic---but not a jock--- run, bike, hike, exercise classes, work out. Better at sports where my feet are firmly planted on the ground. I have a very spiritual side to me and like quiet time to meditate and look within.
I love music and always opt to have itunes playing rather than the TV. Can not live without intimacy, passion and single malt scotch.... Understand that a relationship is a two way street... lots of give and take, respect for each other and ongoing communication.

Former Vt trooper in time sheet case begins repaying
BURLINGTON A former Vermont State Police sergeant who pleaded guilty to padding his time sheets has started to pay back the more than $200,000 he owes the state.
The state received a check for about $4,700 over the summer from Jim Deeghan, who is serving a two-year prison sentence.
Chittenden County States Attorney TJ Donovan told the Burlington Free Press the rest of the money will come from Deeghans state police pension over the next six years.
The 50-year-old Deeghan and his family still receive health and dental benefits.
Meanwhile, the Deeghans home in Colchester has been sold for $365,000. While his case was pending, Donovan filed a lien notice on the property to collect the proceeds.MORE IN This Just In

In the spring security intercept-url config, if I define a particular role for a particular path, say ROLE_USER, that path should be accessible only if the user has that authority. That makes sense, but if I set the role as ROLE_ANONYMOUS,
<intercept-url pattern="/resources/**" access="ROLE_ANONYMOUS"/> shouldn't it be accessible even when the user is authenticated, say when the user has an authority ROLE_USER? But that doesn't happen.
Here is the log

Freddie Prods Lawmakers to Ease HUD Rule
Bergquist, Erick, American Banker
Upset with its regulator's final rule setting out affordable housing goals, Freddie Mac is lobbying Congress for relief.
Senate aides confirmed Friday that Freddie is trying to get Congress to alter the rules that determine how it achieves its affordable housing goals, which are set and overseen by the Department of Housing and Urban Affairs.
The goals are meant to spur both Freddie and Fannie Mae into serving low-income housing needs. For next year, 50% of the mortgages purchased by the government sponsored entities must be loans to low- and moderate-income borrowers.
While time is short -- Congress returns next week for a short, post-election session -- Freddie's moves concerned HUD enough to prompt Assistant Secretary William Apgar to send a letter of opposition to a key lawmaker this week.
Freddie is asking lawmakers to expand an incentive HUD granted in its Oct. 31 final rule on the affordable housing goals. On loans it buys for multifamily properties in very low-, low-, and moderate-income areas, Freddie is allowed to multiply each unit over 50 by 1.2. For example, if Freddie buys a loan for an apartment building with 55 units, the government-sponsored entity earns credit for 66 low-income loans.
Freddie is asking Congress to increase that multiplier to 1.35 and apply it to more loans. The affordable housing goals apply to loans Freddie buys in very-low-income areas, low- and moderate-income areas, and what HUD calls "underserved" areas, such as inner cities. Freddie wants the extra credit applied to loans it makes in these underserved communities.
In 1999, Congress told HUD to give Freddie the incentive as a "temporary adjustment" to soften its reentry into multifamily lending, which it abandoned in the early 1990s. …

North Korea trade delegation visits Sweden
A delegation of North Korean business and trade officials have traveled to Sweden to visit banks, state agencies and companies and learn about the European nation's economy, reports say. "The participants are from universities, state export companies and the North Korean foreign trade ministry. They have been invited by the International Council of Swedish Industry," AFP quoted the Swedish Radio as saying on Friday. The 25-member delegation's visit will last two weeks, the report said. Benny Olsson, the marketing director of a vegetable wholesaler in Stockholm, said he met with the North Korean delegation and responded to their many questions about Swedish economy. "I don't know what jobs any of them had, all I know is that they were high-ranking economists from North Korea, that's it," Olsson said. The visit to Sweden was organized by Johan Alvin from the International Council of Swedish Industry. "We support their wish to learn more about our type of economy," he told the public radio. Swedish government has long diplomatic relations with Pyongyang, and is regarded as the first western country to open an embassy in North Korea. The embassy was established in 1975, and the European country protects the interests section of the US, Finland, Australia and Canada in the Asian state. SAB/MA

Great info. Indeed the Major shluod be the pursuit of cultural scholars in and out of the biz.

There's a discussion about comics being art on the Publisher's Weekly blog that took place at the San Diego Comic con that's pretty interesting.The history of the Major is one of the most fascinating stories of a beginning of an industry that I can think of.

Following celebs on Twitter and Instagram makes us feel like Clay Aiken. (Because of "Invisible." Remember? "I wish I could be a fly on your wall"? Get it?)

Fringe 4x19 - "Letters of Transit" (Live Commentary, Spoilers)

Re: Fringe 4x19 - "Letters of Transit" (Live Commentary, Spoilers)
Meh.... WTH was that? And no continuation next week? So what exactly was the point???
With only a few hours left, they should be building up to a finale, not waste time on a bizarro future. Poor makeup and effects didn't help. And turning the observers into villains makes no sense - especially villains hanging out in a fancy bordello. Ugh. Do they really think that turning observers into low-rent nazis would be compelling? Not for me.
No, I'm not digging this at all. One of the worst episodes of Fringe IMO, even if the girl was very cute.
Mo vote is sadly: BAD.

Birdlegs is Fraud !!!!!!!!Posted August 10, 2014 9:10 pm
hairypudding! No that is Wilder stating that he is # 1 against fighters who are over 35, under 6 feet tall and under 200 lbs!!Posted August 31, 2012 7:14 pm
Miatesvallenverga!! Correction, Wilder's opponent might actually be a light heavy and maybe even a super middle!!Posted August 31, 2012 5:30 pm
Is there a medical doctor out there who can check out Wilder's CHIN and report back??Posted August 31, 2012 5:28 pm
Carl "The Truth" Williams turned pro when he was 22 – He had good height, size and some solid skills – He fought Larry Holmes when he was 16-0 and 25 years old losing a decision over 15 rounds – There are many many other examples of other young heavyweight hopefuls over the last few decades who fought solid guys before they were 20-0. But not Wilder – His people have a plan that is totally built on finding him the smallest and softest opposition possible – Anyone know why???Posted August 31, 2012 5:23 pm
Fighting another Crusier dosn't suprise mePosted August 31, 2012 5:14 pm
Does anyone know how many times Wilder has been dropped during sparring sessions? That number whatever it may be might very hold the answer to many questions that many of us have regarding Wilder.Posted August 31, 2012 3:01 pm
Top 100 HW USA opponents or top 200 HW world opponents. That's all I'm asking. If that's too much after 4 years, I don't know what to think other than their hiding a very fragile chin.Posted August 31, 2012 2:44 pm
Wilder reminds me much more of Mark Breland who I believe may train him or Johnny Bumphus – Both were solid amateurs but both were not durable enough to enjoy long careers in the pro ranks – Do Wilder's people know something and are refusing to tell us??Posted August 31, 2012 1:32 pm
Wilder is being extremely protected – Even someone wearing rose colored glasses should be able to see that – The big question is WHY???? Who manages this guy? Anyone know? What is their background? Are they businessman from Wilder's home town as is often the case?Posted August 31, 2012 1:27 pm
Fight Aficionado
My comment of yesterday is still "awaiting moderation" so I'll repost the G rated version: I was putting GBP and Wilder on blast at Twitter for his weak comp. Wilder replied, GBP and Oscar did not. So I checked out Wilder's Twitter feed. He says stuff like putting dudes "to sleep like a homeless crackhead in the street." LOL. Should be comedy, I'll follow that.Posted August 31, 2012 12:48 pm
He talks crap about Fury then fights this guy what a joker. Meanwhile Fury is fighting Chageav man this guy Wilder has no shame.Posted August 31, 2012 11:43 am
Hopefully, Deontay is not another Jorge Luis Gonzalez.Posted August 31, 2012 11:35 am
If Im not mistaken, Fury and Price have both had less fights yet their competition has been better. Fury-v-Chageav and Price v Harrison ….. say what you want about Harrison but he'd give Wilder is decent test.Posted August 31, 2012 9:22 am
I actually laughed out loud reading the fighter description, and had to check that the byline of the article wasn't "Fantana"! Hopefully since this will be win #25, then we will see Deontay in the ring with some legit journeymen, then top 100, then top 50 and so on. Otherwise we're just waiting for Rodriguez vs. Wilder in 2015.Posted August 31, 2012 3:45 am
Wilder = A bigger fraud than Fraudley Harrison.Posted August 31, 2012 3:11 am
They are still puppy feeding this guy.Posted August 31, 2012 3:03 am
top 20??? how about a top 100. Deontay should not even be in the top 100.Posted August 31, 2012 2:47 am
The smoking gun
Okay. I never say this, but he needs to fight someone with a pulse.Posted August 30, 2012 8:17 pm
Cracks me up to see this guy bite his lip and make faces like he's the second coming of Christ, then he fights ninkin-poops from a halfway house. Stop wasting people's time and media space with this "is not/was not".Posted August 30, 2012 7:26 pm
This guy is gonna fight someone alive at some point…when he does… Party's over! LolPosted August 30, 2012 7:19 pm
25th fight and 25th bumPosted August 30, 2012 7:18 pm

What a joke, this Damon McCreary has had 14 fights in 14 years. Wilder isnt going enywhere.Posted August 30, 2012 5:36 pm
Fight Aficionado
Agreed Gumboot. Prospects like Wilder are deliberately slowing their own progress so that by the time they're "ready" for a title shot the K Bros will be long gone. Then the division opens back up again, meaning there will be easy cherry picking opportunities. What a sham.Posted August 30, 2012 4:38 pm
Fight Aficionado
GBP is playing games. They figure the gullible public will fall for this "undefeated prospects collide" BS. At bottom they're putting Wilder in with a 39 year old who hasn't fought in 5 years and isn't even a heavyweight. Clowns.Posted August 30, 2012 4:34 pm
Wow, this looks like the perfect opponent to finally test Wilder's chin, his heart, his will to win, his inner strength, his fortitude, his resilience, his skill level, his determination AND his ability to succeed against a world class, big, young and active fighter – Good going Team Wilder!!!!!Posted August 30, 2012 3:51 pm
Hassan Ndou
Wilder will as Ward and most other US fighters only fight at home. Pianeta would be a good fight for Wilder. He can box but doesn't hit very hard. Pianeta is from Italy so a fight in Germany would be a nice place to such a fight. Also there would be much more money made there.Posted August 30, 2012 3:45 pm
Wilder's management must've seen him beaten up in sparring/having no chin somewhere alone the line. It is the only explanation for fighting NO ONE 25 fights in.Posted August 30, 2012 3:41 pm
pianeta gots a better resume.Posted August 30, 2012 3:37 pm
Mark Rudd
There is a reason a guy gets 25 fights into his pro career and is still fighting this kind of competition, and it isn't because his management thinks he's ready. Wilder has barely gotten out of the tough man competition level and he was supposed to be an accomplished amateur. Take a look at the guys the European heavyweights have taken on in their first 15 fights and compare.Posted August 30, 2012 3:26 pm
This is the new learning curve. Damn . . . Pianeta should call wilder to the other side of the lake. Germans would love to see pianeta and wilder get it on. Place it under of the one of the HW title cards. It would be interesting.Posted August 30, 2012 3:16 pm
This slow buildup has simply gone on too long. Wilder clearly has size and talent. He doesn't need this kind of help. If his management can't get him meaningful fights, maybe its time to move on.Posted August 30, 2012 3:02 pm
I don't want to hear another word about Wilder until they announce a real fight with a real fighter. Tomato can until then.Posted August 30, 2012 3:00 pm
I LOVE YOU LOLPosted August 30, 2012 2:59 pm
This fight wouldn't be allowed in the UK as we thankfully have the BBBC. Surely the state licensing body where this is supposed to be taking place will also stop this fight happening??? :shock:Posted August 30, 2012 2:58 pm
I don't believe it's the difficulty in getting ranked opponents that's the reason for Wilder continually fighting weak opposition. The guy has the worst resume of any heavyweight I've seen. Are we to believe that comparing Wilder to other up and coming heavyweights is like comparing Tyson to an overweight Mr Bean – because that's what it would take for a young(ish) heavyweight to be genuinely avoided in the way Wilder's people suggest. The more likely reason is that Wilder's people know he can only give a punch but can't take one. I certainly hope Wilder eventually gets his wish of fighting Tyson Fury – however I note that he didn't call out any Stateside fighters, like Seth Mitchell, which would have been much easier fights to set up.Posted August 30, 2012 2:49 pm
punch drunk Big Daddy probably still got reflexes that would keep wilder honest.Posted August 30, 2012 2:38 pm
1 word EMBARRASSING!!!!Posted August 30, 2012 2:33 pm
this stinks . . . major padding here.Posted August 30, 2012 2:20 pm
Another in a long list of fighters doing nothing but waiting to see K bros retire and then have a shot at a title in a messy division. But this is RICICULOUS! Seriously, is this the best you can do after 25 fights?Posted August 30, 2012 2:13 pm
Hassan Ndou
He looks and sounds as a typical Afro.Posted August 30, 2012 1:44 pm
Hassan Ndou
– are you ashamed Wilder? You should be.Posted August 30, 2012 1:39 pm
This Wilder is becoming the biggest joke in all sports. Even Lacy had better resume at 24 fights…..Posted August 30, 2012 1:35 pm
It was Tyson Fury Manny mentioned as Future HW Champ not Wilder.
Funny that is so hard to get ranked opponents for Wilder when other contenders can find ranked boxers to fight…… – stupid to fight a former 166 pounder 4 years into your pro run.Posted August 30, 2012 1:23 pm
I really dont think people are jumping in line to fight this dude.He has to stay active to make money.I really dont think he or the promo team has anything to do with his lack of opposition at this point.Manny Steward said it best-"this guy is the future Heavyweight Champion"Posted August 30, 2012 1:15 pm
Take a look at a guy like Pulev – he has been pro for less than 3 years but has already fought guys like: Page, Skelton, Batchelder, Guinn, Vidoz, Rossy, Walker, Sprott, Dimitrenko and in his next fight (his only 17th fight!) he will face undefeated Ustinov 27(21)-0-0.
That is the way to do it Wilder…….Posted August 30, 2012 12:52 pm
Why are we even talking about this guy Wilder? He has fought absolutely nobody of any worth. All bums. I think we should not even mention this guy until he fights and beats a guy in the top twenty. Really, he has beat nothing but 3rd rate club fighters. How can you judge a guy with those kind of fights. He hasn't even fought a guy yet that can actually punch back.Posted August 30, 2012 12:40 pm
McCreary has fought only 3 fights in more than 11 years :shock:
He has not fought in 2 years. His last fight was against a 2-1-0 opponent :shock:
He started out as 166 pounder :shock:
Pathetic :mrgreen:Posted August 30, 2012 12:40 pm
I thought this was a step up at first, but it isn't. I'm a little disappointed in Wilder not taking some harder challenges. He needs start fighting guys with more cred if he wants be taken seriously.Posted August 30, 2012 12:29 pm
Wilder must be careful not to get arrogant. He might just get a reality check soon…
You're not doing Wilder any good by giving him 25 straight opponents who he can blow away. When he faces somebody who can score, it's going to be an issue. He'll need an extra 8 fights at the fringe contender level because he's been facing so many guys who can't fight back. Remember, Tyson had the title in his 27th fight, and at age 20 … Holding guys back is not the way to do it.Posted August 30, 2012 12:25 pm
Unfortunately, and being an American HW fan I do mean unfortunately, I can reach no other conclusion than Deontay has a glass jaw. Otherwise he'd at least be fighting a Releford, McCall or Guinn.Posted August 30, 2012 12:24 pm
So mr wilder takes on a blown up light heavy with only 1 fight in the last couple of years. And he thinks that fury is ducking him? Get real.Posted August 30, 2012 12:20 pm
another bum :neutral:Posted August 30, 2012 12:13 pm

Brakes key concern in deadly Calif. crash
YUCAIPA, Calif. — Federal and state investigators searched on Tuesday in the mangled wreckage of a California tour bus for the cause of a weekend crash that left seven people dead and injured dozens of others.
Authorities targeted the brakes and other equipment for clues about why the driver lost control on a two-lane mountain highway in the San Bernardino Mountains on the way back to Tijuana, Mexico, after a trip to the snow.
The roadworthiness of the 1996 bus loomed as a key issue because the driver told investigators that the brakes failed as he descended from the popular Big Bear ski area. Federal records pointed to a history of brake-maintenance problems with the European-made bus.
"We are going to look very closely at the brakes, as we will every other mechanical system on the bus," National Transportation Safety Board spokesman Eric Weiss said.
Opening a review that could take months, investigators for the California Highway Patrol and NTSB began collecting evidence on the bus, road conditions and possible driver error or fatigue that could have played a role in the crash.

12th Annual Linux Beer Hike
Penguins Down South
White chalk cliffs, a beautiful countryside, pretty villages and plenty of fine pubs gather along the South Downs Way in Sussex, England - an ideal location for the annual Linux Beer Hike.
Alfriston is located in the valley of the River Cuckmere and part of the South Downs Way, one of 15 National Trails in England and Wales. From July 25 to August 1, 2010, about 45 geeks from various countries conquered the tiny village for the 12th Linux Beer Hike.

Is there any other style of music with more personality than folk? Not likely! Since it's completely the product of culture, there are no two places where folk music is the same. That can also be said of the instruments used to play it, and this section is where you'll find the dozens of different folk instruments that form the heart and soul of concert halls and music festivals from coast to coast.
With so much to choose from, you'll find something for you no matter which instruments you play. If you like to use air to make music, then the selection of harmonicas, melodicas, accordions and even kazoos deserves a close look. For the versatile player, you'll appreciate sets like the Hohner Blues Bender Harmonica 5 Pack, providing a complete range of harps so you'll always have the right one, no matter which key you need.
Stringed instruments just may have the biggest share of the folk scene, so it's no surprise that there are all kinds of those for your consideration as well. Looking for a little Hawaiian charm? Here are all the ukuleles you could possibly ask for. Maybe you're more of a down-home Southern type? If so, kindly direct your attention to the impressive range of banjos. Those are just the beginning of a string selection that also includes staples like the mandolin, steel guitar, resonator guitar, strumstick and more.
There's no doubt about it: folk music really is in a class all its own, and so are its instruments. Everything that you see in these pages has a rich history of culture. In fact, many folk instruments are the products of simple down-to-earth innovation, descended from makeshift instruments that grew over the generations into something more. With any of these great folk instruments in your collection, you'll be well on your way to growing your musical career as well

So it finally happened.
Game » consists of 21 releases. Released Jun 12, 2008
I think it's odd they closed down all the online on the PS3 and now are rereleasing it on the 360 (which will undoubtedly make playstation owners either want to play it again or go and get it). Weird.
Other than that though, it makes sense to me (but then again, I never thought of MGS as a Sony thing anyway)
That's fake.
I like this part in the description...
MGS4 pushes the power of the PLAYSTATION® 3 to its limits with cutting edge graphics and surround sound. It also aims to be the hallmark title for the new DUALSHOCK®3 controller.
@Demmetje said:
It still bears the PS3 description: "Features:
- MGS4 pushes the power of the PLAYSTATION® 3 to its limits with cutting edge graphics and surround sound. It also aims to be the hallmark title for the new DUALSHOCK®3 controller."
Probably fake :(
That description is also over 4 years old, as the Dualshock 3 is not new anymore. Clearly they copy and pasted the description from a very old source.
Was hoping it was true so I could enjoy the reactions.

I was hoping it was true so I could play the game :(.
Better luck next time sensational headliner!
god i hope this is true. i really wanna play this game as im a huge MGS fan and its the only one ive never played. but i really dont wanna buy a ps3 for just one game.
Ya not real.
Yeah, because this information is coming from a source we all know of and trust...
This is fake. Konami would have to actually go in and change parts of the game before they could release it on 360, and I really don't think they would be willing to put in the effort to do it. I mean, look how much hard work they put into those Silent Hill and Zone of the Enders collections.
I want this to be real just because of how ridiculous it is. Xbox 360 gets Metal Gear Solid 4... years after it came out on PS3.
Ooooh man. I remember that year at E3, what was it, 2010? Where everyone was like MGS4 4 360!! And everyone else was like NUH UH!! Then Kojima came out on stage at the Microsoft press conference and everyone was like SEE TOLD YA MGS4 4 360!! Then he was like MGSR and everyone else was like LOL TOLD YA!! ...good times.
Awesome I will buy it. Never finished it, plus Achievements!
This is really strange, I buy all my games from that site, it's like the no1 online store for my country. Would be weird if fake, someone must of hacked in.
Reckon it is a fake, be good though if it did, give me a reason to play through it again for the 100th time!
That box art looks horribly photoshopped around the area where "Only on PlayStation" would be on the PS3 version box art. Shame, because I would totally buy this if it did end up on 360.
Totally possible, especially since I think we'll find out the new metal gear will be on the next xbox. So why not finally bring 4 to the 360? Though, I feel like konami would have made a bigger deal out of this than what will be some upcoming press release saying it's out in a week or two. Honestly MSG 4 is still the only non psn ps3 exclusive that I actually greatly enjoyed.
At this point I feel like it's 50/50 if it actually exists or not. Both sides kinda make sense. The photoshop look could just be them quick throwing up art on the page for all we known.
@evanbower: THE KING IS A LIE.
he is nothing but a jester.
They didn't even put any effort into making it believable. I would definitely not mind finally playing that game though.
Well if this were to be legit at least I could play it without having to download 20 updates.
@Tylea002 said:
If this ever ends up being real, I regret listening to all the spoilers on it back in the day.
That's how I felt about BioShock on PS3. Luckily, that game is so good that even though I knew the Big Twist before jumping in, by the time I'd gotten to it, I was so absorbed in everything that I'd forgotten about it and it still took me by surprise.
Also, the listing says it released on November 1, 2012. If this were true, it would already be out. You would already be playing it.
@Cincaid said:
So maybe it's just me avoiding Kojima games like the plague, but could someone fill me in on why this would be so mindblowing? I mean, platform exclusives have switched platforms before (Mass Effect, for example), or is this game some extreme case?
Metal Gear Solid has always been a pretty hardcore PlayStation-exclusive brand, and everybody thought they were going to drop the bomb at a Microsoft E3 press conference that it would be coming to 360 (like what happened with GTA IV) and it never did. So it'd be kind of crazy for it to not be a PS3-exclusive anymore.
They are not allowing you to order it.
