Days are short. Sunshine and warmth have definitely flown south, but nature steps up with a reminder that bright, balmy days will return. The token? Pucker up, tangy, sweet-tart oranges, lemons, grapefruits and tangerines.
While oranges and lemons are a staple year round due to global-growing, winter is peak citrus season. Markets are flooded by varieties with beckoning tropical names like kumquat, Satsuma and Ugli fruit.
Tasting is the best option when it comes to exploring the flavor profiles of these bites of sunshine. Ask the produce manager for a sample of some new exotic beauty, or get adventurous and buy that pomelo. Look for fruit that has unblemished skin and feels heavy for its size.
Aside for the ubiquitous breakfast table, citrus pops up in savory dishes like soup, salads and casseroles. A tablespoon or two of lemon zest and parsley transforms a bite of braised short ribs. Try pairing grapefruit with creamy avocado chunks for a light lunch or spatter it on top of grilled salmon. When all imagination fails, grab, snack and go works.
Brown-Sugar Broiled Grapefruit
(Serves 4)
2 Ruby Red Grapefruit
4 tablespoons dark brown sugar
Sea Salt
Set oven to broil. Wash and thoroughly dry grapefruit. Slice in half and cut around membranes to loosen sections. Place grapefruit halves on a broiler pan. Sprinkle each half with 1 tablespoon brown sugar and a very light sprinkle of sea salt. Place under broiler until brown sugar caramelizes on top of the grapefruit, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Grapefruit and Avocado Salsa
(Makes 8 ½ cup servings)
2 cups each grapefruit and avocado peeled and cut into ¾" pieces
1 to 2 jalapeno peppers finely diced (adjust to taste)
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons chopped chives
1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lime juice
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon fresh ground pepper
Mix all ingredients together in a medium sized bowl. Allow to sit 15 to 20 minutes for flavors to develop. Serve with tortilla chips, as a topping for pan-grilled chicken or tucked into warm corn tortillas with chunks of firm white fish.

Stress Tests: What We Know Now
At first take, last night's statement providing details of the European bank stress testing exercise appeared underwhelming. It certainly hasn't met yet the standard of full transparency that many analysts were calling for.
According to Dow Jones Newswires, Harvinder Sian of RBS is among those less than impressed by the reported severity of the tests on "sovereign shock"—the default that dare not speak its name.
(Bloomberg, for example, is reporting here that that the tests assume a 17% loss on Greek bonds and 3% on Spanish bonds. This, it points out, is way less than the market is currently discounting. Hat tip Eurointelligence.)
This, says Mr Sian, "is not stressful. They might as well not bother and we suspect a cooler look at such stress would leave potential bank equity buyers disappointed."
He goes on: "Stress tests should be stressful. Stress tests should not be about testing lightly for things which we could argue banks should be provisioning for already."
Bank equity buyers aren't the only audience here, however, and European bank stocks actually opened higher this morning (perhaps on the expectation that none of the major banks is going to be forced to raise new equity capital.) And the statement does tell us some things we didn't know before, some of which may provide comfort to those who were expecting the worst. So what do we know now?
–The adverse case will test for losses if you assume an EU economic contraction of 2.0% this year and of 1.3% next year, compared with the current forecasts of 1.0% and 1.7% growth. Last year's test was on the basis of a 5.2% contraction in 2009 (compared with a negative 4.0% forecast) and a 2.7% contraction in 2010 (compared with 0.4% growth that was then forecast.)
–It covers 91 banks—113 if you count the cajas, pre-mergers—covering 65% of the assets in the European banking system, and at least half the assets of each national banking system, including even Malta's.
–The macroeconomic variables will be "differentiated for EU member states"—in other words it won't depend on across-the-board assumptions for the EU which might for example give you 10% unemployment when the figure for Spain is already 20%. Those aggregate assumptions were seen as one of a number of weaknesses in last year's unpublished stress tests of the biggest banks.
–It will—without explaining what this means—"assess the current dependence on public support measures," including one has to assume the European Central Bank's facilities. That suggests the tests will not just look at the assets side of the balance sheet, but also examine bank liabilities and institutions' vulnerability to the withdrawal of public support.
–The sovereign "shock" will be benchmarked against what was happening in early May, before the ECB started its government bond-buying program. We also know the euphemism for default: "a shock on interest rates to capture an increase in risk premia linked to a deterioration in EU government bond markets."
There's still a lot we don't know though, even if the reporting on the not-very-adverse sovereign shock proves correct. For example, we don't yet know the benchmark capital base which the regulators will consider adequate (6% Tier I? Last year, under the pessimistic scenario, finance ministers said none of the 22 big banks that were then tested fell below 6% Tier I.) And we don't know anything about the methodology of converting the economic assumptions into loan losses.
The point has been made here before that the U.S. stress tests of last year did not test for a worst-case scenario—just for a bad case that actually turned out to be close to what actually happened. It worked largely because they were credible enough, and there was follow-up that ensured some banks raised new capital.

The procession of Usabha Sambah ritual in the Puseh and Desa Temple of Pasedahan customary village, Manggis subdistrict, Karangasem, is absolutely unique. Aside from implementing the Melasti procession to Sengkidu Beach by carrying 28 sanctified effigies, the ritual taking place for five days (Oct 26-30) was also filled with the magibung local tradition or enjoying shared meal and nyambutin or a ritual for welcoming a baby.
Melasti is a procession to purify the sanctified effigies carried out by the whole local community. It was also accompanied with mapeed procession (traditional fashion) conducted by young girls walking hand in hand in Balinese traditional attires as far as 5 km. Started from the front row bringing long pennants, the row of sampyan and ritual paraphernalia and weapons of deities in the nine directions made the procession look so grandiose.
When getting to Sengkidu, the residents spontaneously performed a dance while stabbing their chest by kris dagger in front of the sanctified effigies. Besides, the residents also danced the Rejang Lilit, Pendet, Sramanan and Wawalen. The ritual was then concluded by closing ritual marked with the disposal of the Sambah paraphernalia.
The chief of customary village, I Ketut Gede Artana, accompanied by the temple priest Jro Mangku I Nengah Sujati said the deity Sambah enthroned during the temple anniversary in the Puseh Temple symbolized the grace of natural fertility. According to local communities of Pasedahan customary village, the Usabha Sambah ritual was interpreted as a momentous moment for deities to bestow their bounties.
More interestingly, in the implementation of Nyambutin was presented pajegan ritual paraphernalia. Young generation of Pasedahan customary village both staying at home and outside the village were obliged to participate in the activities. It is a ritual tradition inherited from generation to generation intended to welcome the presence and rebirth in order they could perfect themselves as human being of God. (BTN/015)

I think that sometimes, we all just have those days. You know, the ones where you just want to break down and cry, or scream at the top of your lungs, just because you feel so full of stress inside that you just have to get it out.
Today, for me, is one of those days. But really, I think it's been a long time coming. You see, two weeks or so ago, my daughter's father moved 1800 miles away because his girlfriend wants to live in California and not Texas. So, selfishly, he decided just to up and move, leaving behind a five year old little girl who now spends every morning before school, and every evening after, crying into my shoulder.
I am just so ANGRY and FRUSTRATED that even though this horrible decision was solely his, he is not having to deal with any of the consequences. No, instead, it's me, trying to calm down my daughter and get her to stop crying long enough to eat something. It's me trying to get her to DO something, besides just sit and weep and talk about how she can't live without her daddy. It's had me on edge since the day he left, and left her such a mess.
So, today she came home from visiting with her grandparents, and when her grandfather dropped her off, she was already crying. And she cried until she fell asleep 2 hours later, save for a short break to eat some ramen noodles. She lost her library book from school, and that sent her into another bout of tears. And I am just so on-edge and touchy from all the stress that I just wanted more than anything to call up her father and scream right in his ear....just scream out all of my frustrations to him. I guess that'd be a bit immature, though. So instead I sat on the couch and cried.
It always seems like if it's not one thing it's another. I missed two days of work on the last payperiod because I was sick, which brought my check down TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS - leaving me with barely enough to cover my car payment and rent. And of course, the water bill, cell phone bill, electric bill...they all showed up right in the nick of time for that. And, rent is due tomorrow but we still don't have the money order for it. I feel like I'm banging my head against a wall.
But tonight, I did something different than I used to. Rather than eating a pint of ice cream, or drowning my sorrow in a pan of brownies, I read up on some motivational Spark Pages. And instead of wanting to eat my pain and frustration away, I just wanted to run it away. Of course, it's pitch-black now so I can't really...but I do see it as some sort of progress. Food is not going to be a crutch for me anymore, no matter how stressed I am.
I just need to take everything one day at a time.

You are changing your stress responses. It might not seem like much to some, but to me that is the beginning of self fulfillment, the beginning of getting the things you want out of life. Congratulations on rerouting your stress. I hope that things improve for you and your daughter.

Brandon Meriweather on D&H: Secondary takes pride in physical play
|12.27.10 at 11:55 am ET
Defensive back Brandon Meriweather joined the Dale & Holley show Monday morning, with guest hosts Mike Mutnansky and Chris Price, for his weekly appearance on WEEI's Patriots Monday. To hear the interview, go to the Dale & Holley audio on demand page.
The secondary had a couple of big hits on Bills receivers Sunday and helped force seven Buffalo turnovers in the Patriots' 34-3 victory. "We try to do that every game," Meriweather said. "That's one of our goals, to go into the game and be physical. We like to say that we're the most physical secondary in the NFL. [Jerod] Mayo's been a part of that, and the linebackers have been a part of that secondary, too, I think. Every week we go into a game, that's what we're aiming for, to be the most physical secondary on the field."
Added Meriweather: "We just want to punish you. Whenever you come across the middle, or you catch a pass anywhere downfield, we want to make you feel it. Anytime you can make somebody feel it and you can establish they're coming across the middle, then people stop throwing across the middle. Once you can eliminate places where you know people aren't going to throw, then that's when all the picks start coming."

R1800 ...need a change and not sure......
I currently have an Epson R1800......I am thinking of replacing it with a R2400....I print a lot of B&W and research shows me that the 2400 will do a better job. Is there any other printer , that will not compromise color and that is near the same price or lower, that I should consider?

(Ivanhoe Newswire) -- Men with prostate cancer who replace carbohydrates and animal fat in their diets with vegetable fat have a reduced risk of death.
Researchers at the University of California at San Francisco studied 4,577 men who were diagnosed with prostate cancer between 1986 and 2010. In follow up meetings, researchers examined the diets of participants after the diagnosis. Results show replacing 10 percent of carbohydrate and animal fat calories with vegetable fat was linked to a 29 percent lower risk of lethal cancer, and 26 percent lower risk of all-cause mortality. Researchers noted oils and nuts were the most common source of vegetable fat in the study.

I tend to think New Year's resolutions are a bit silly. It seems like most people's resolutions are along the lines of working out every single day or losing half of their body weight. Blechhhhhh.
However, I do like setting goals for myself and feeling accomplished when I finally complete them! Looking back at the goals I set last year, I did a pretty great job at slaying them.
1. Blog at least twice weekly- I may not have blogged exactly twice a week, but I had 127 blog posts during 2012, which averages to about 2.4 times per week. I'll take it!
2. List at least two new items on Etsy every week- This went kind of like the one above, I may not have listed two items a week, but it probably averages out to that. I've done a good job of always keeping between 160 and 200 items up in the shop.
3. Break into profit margin with crafting business- I definitely accomplished this, and then some! Zombot Shop had a good year. Thank you, guys!
4. Do a craft show- This is the only one I didn't get to cross off my list. It seems like there just wasn't enough time to find a craft show and prepare for it. I definitely think I can do it this year though!
1. Do that craft show!- I really don't think it'll happen soon, but if all else fails, I can for sure find some craft fairs around Christmas time to take part in.
2. Blog redesign- I really haven't changed the layout/design of my blog much since I first created it last year. I'd really like to spend some time learning more about html and how to create a good layout, or at least pay someone who knows what they're doing to make it pretty.
3. Save some $$$- I really need to come up with a good savings plan so I can set some money aside every month.
4. Get new tattoos- Well, accomplishing #3 would definitely help out with this. I have quite a few tattoos that I've been wanting for some time, but always flake out or find something different to spend my money on. As a birthday present to myself, I'm planning on getting my rocket tattoo next month!
5. Read a book a week- I've always been a avid reader, but lately it's been harder for me to find time to read. With the Kindle fire that my wonderful mom got me for Christmas, it'll be a lot easier to read during whatever free time I have. I read pretty fast, and tend to devour books whole once I start reading them, so I think a book a week is pretty reasonable for me.

Second Life on Linux
|Finaly (I don't know since when, but I checked last time a month ago or so...) you don't have to give credit card info to create an account in Second Life. As a matter of fact you didn't had to two years ago or something, when I first tried it, but when all the hype came back some months ago, I decided to try it again (hoping that they already had a Linux client, which they didn't) and you needed to have a credit card to register to the free account... So I didn't. Now, when you register for a free account, you can do one of three things: give your credit card info and recieve 250 units of 2nd Life money, or give your paypal info and recieve 250 units of 2nd Life money, or not give anything and recieving anything. When I did that, I got:
Your Second Life account has been sucessfully created.
1. Download and install the Second Life client
Windows 188.8.131.52 (25MB) / Mac 18.104.22.168 (51MB)
So I just ignored that page and went here where you can get a Linux client (still in alpha state - use not reccomended!). You also have there a link for a forum where probably the linux client issues are discussed, but I decided to do something else :-P So, I downloaded the alpha client and tried to run it, just to get a
WARNING: Unable to create window, be sure screen is set at 32-bit color in Control Panels->Display->Settings
This is wrong: the script should have died before (and of course I'm using a 32-bit color depth) on this INFO message, that should instead be an ERROR:
INFO: createContext: window creation failure. SDL: Couldn't find matching GLX visual
This isn't surprising for me since I'm using vesa instead of my video card drivers. I'm doing this because I'm using on this workstation Fedora Core 4, and those drivers suddenly stopped working here some months ago... well, the kind of stuff you have to deal with if you're using this supposedly "stable" distro.
So, I changed again to the i810 driver and it worked. Tested Second Life again and this time it didn't crash - it just failed to show anything on the window. Pressing CTRL+C on the shell running it or clicking on the "close window" cross did absolutely nothing: it crashed. Checking the log, I found what might be the problem:
WARNING: Couldn't load font ヒラギノ角ゴ Pro W3.otf

WARNING: Couldn't load font ヒラギノ角ゴ Pro W3.otf
WARNING: Couldn't load font ヒラギノ角ゴ Pro W3.otf
WARNING: Couldn't load font ヒラギノ角ゴ Pro W3.otf
Are this Chinese caracters or what? :-P Anyway, I suppose that my card simply isn't supported for this game. As a matter of fact, no computer I have has a better card than this, so... Searching about it prooves myself right:
Incompatible cards: Intel, Intel Extreme, 3DFX, RIVA, TNT, SiS, S3, S3TC, Savage, Twister, Rage, Kyro, Volari, XGI, MILENNIA, most cards by MATROX.
Seems I'm stucked with text-based virtual worlds. So, next time you try to tell me "why do you like talkers?" or "why don't you play [put name of MMORPG here]?" or something like that, remember - I love talkers but I wold love to have better alternatives. You just have to show me one...

If the question, "Is mixed martial arts a sport or spectacle?" was asked to ten different people, there is an possibility that the results would end up split down the middle. Though MMA has grown into a mainstream sport, it's clear that business aspects -- particularly the ability to "sell a fight" -- have remained important to the bottom line. Whether MMA fans want to believe it or not, this is an integral component of how individual fight cards become successful. The spectacle that arose out of the final moments of Bellator 110 showed just how deeply this kind of promotion has become ingrained in mixed martial arts.
Last Friday night, Bellator MMA hosted the semifinals of its lightweight tournament, which featured two of the company's most well-known fighters. Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal were placed on opposite ends of the brackets in hopes that the two fighters would be able to make their way to the 205 pound final. At the end of the night, the matchmakers had the fight in hand that they wanted, so they seized the opportunity. As Jackson celebrated his victory, Lawal was brought into the cage and a "scuffle" between the two ensued. The reaction across the online community of mixed martial arts fsns was almost as entertaining to watch as the moment itself.
The social sphere that takes the time to comment on the sport on social media platforms and blogs was immediately ablaze with expressions of disgust that Bellator would put together a "worked" segment. Both Jackson and Lawal have spent time recently in the wrestling promotion known as Total Nonstop Action (TNA), so this was considered nothing more than a carryover of tactics from that organization. Since both TNA and Bellator are linked through Spike, it's clear that there will be an effort to cross-promote this fight in the coming months.
Furthermore, Lawal and Jackson have become close friends. While there was a time that they did have a legit beef with each other, that time has passed. Those who follow the sport closely know that there isn't any real animosity between the two that would cause such a situation to occur.
However, should Bellator have been criticized as much as they were for staging the situation? The answer should be a resounding "No."
Some of the most commercially successful contests within the mixed martial arts world in recent memory have involved some sort of manufactured animosity between the fighters. Georges St. Pierre and Josh Koscheck used a whole season of The Ultimate Fighter to build up their fight, only for Koscheck to admit to working hard to "sell" the fight. Chael Sonnen has given his career a second wind simply due to his ability to hype up a fight against anyone that the UFC matches him against. There are even those who subscribe to the idea that Nick and Nate Diaz are simply selling fights with their antics, in hopes of making as much money as possible.
Now it goes without saying that real hatred between can draw attention. Both fights between Ronda Rousey and Meisha Tate were steeped in animosity between the two fighters, but that helped bring commercial success to both of the promotions that staged the fights. UFC 100, which featured Brock Lesnar vs. Frank Mir, is another example of a card in which a fight between two athletes who displayed a real dislike of one another drove interest in the event.
Bellator is in a position where they need to give fight fans the most interesting fights they can muster. While the third fight between Michael Chandler and Eddie Alvarez is likely to headline Bellator's debut on pay-per-view, a fight between Lawal and Jackson would most likely gain the most attention. The promotion already tried this strategy when Jackson vs. Tito Ortiz were billed as the main event of the planned PPV card for November of 2013. Alvarez vs. Chandler is the fight that will be the most compelling and evenly-matched, but that doesn't mean it will be able to grab the attention of those casual fans that drive the success of PPV cards.
Fight fans can expect to see "King Mo" and "Rampage" all over their regularly-scheduled Spike shows, as Bellator will work hard to push their "feud" to the forefront. While it is all manufactured, the sports world shouldn't roll their eyes at what the promotion is doing. This isn't the first time that fake hatred has been created to sell a fight or event, and it will not be the last time it occurs.

Hi Reuben,
I just read on Ladytron's facebook profile that you have this book on Blurb. I checked the book preview and got amazed, the place is magical as the pictures themselves.
I'm buying one copy! Could it be possible to get it autographed? Maybe in your next gig in San Diego (which btw will be on my b-day)? That would be awesome!
Hope you win the competition dude!
Excellent work!!

In his own day the dominant personality of the Western Church, Augustine of Hippo today stands as perhaps the greatest thinker of Christian antiquity, and his Confessions is one of the great works of Western literature. In this intensely personal narrative, Augustine relates his rare ascent from a humble Algerian farm to the edge of the corridors of power at the imperial court in Milan, his struggle against the domination of his sexual nature, his renunciation of secular ambition and marriage, and the recovery of the faith his mother Monica had taught him during his childhood. Now, Henry Chadwick, an eminent scholar of early Christianity, has given us the first new English translation in thirty years of this classic spiritual journey. Chadwick renders the details of Augustine's conversion in clear, modern English. We witness the future saint's fascination with astrology and with the Manichees, and then follow him through scepticism and disillusion with pagan myths until he finally reaches Christian faith. There are brilliant philosophical musings about Platonism and the nature of God, and touching portraits of Augustine's beloved mother, of St. Ambrose of Milan, and of other early Christians like Victorinus, who gave up a distinguished career as a rhetorician to adopt the orthodox faith. Augustine's concerns are often strikingly contemporary, yet his work contains many references and allusions that are easily understood only with background information about the ancient social and intellectual setting. To make The Confessions accessible to contemporary readers, Chadwick provides the most complete and informative notes of any recent translation, and includes an introduction to establish the context. The religious and philosophical value of The Confessions is unquestionable--now modern readers will have easier access to St. Augustine's deeply personal meditations. Chadwick's lucid translation and helpful introduction clear the way for a new experience of this classic.

Is it possible to disable copy/paste on VNC Server? I would like to allow a user to connect but not be able to transfer files or copy/paste anything out. While transfer files can be blocked (at least on UltraVNC) I don't see an option to block copy/paste?
Or maybe any of those products (Mikogo, LogMeIn Free, Real VNC, tight VNC, any other) allows exactly that? RDP isn't an option.

Podcasting is a method of publishing audio broadcasts via the Internet, allowing users to subscribe to a feed of new files (usually MP3s). It became popular in late 2004, largely due to automatic downloading of audio onto portable players or personal computers.
Podcasting is distinct from other types of online media delivery because of its subscription model, which uses a feed (such as RSS to deliver an enclosed file. Podcasting enables independent producers to create self-published, syndicated "radio shows," and gives broadcast radio programs a new distribution method. Listeners may subscribe to feeds using "podcatching" software (a type of aggregator), which periodically checks for and downloads new content automatically. A lot of people subscribe to podcast sources through iTunes.
Any digital audio player or computer with audio-playing software can play podcasts, and all smartphones. The same technique can deliver video files, and by 2005 some aggregators could play video as well as audio. One of the better tools for creating Podcasts is Audiograbber.

The Travel Channel announced recently that it will renew "Ghost Adventures" for another season. The popular paranormal program premiered on October 17, 2008 and returns this fall for its tenth season with 13 new one hour episodes. The show will remain in its Saturday night time-slot.
"Ghost Adventures" began as an independent documentary film that first aired on the Syfy Channel on July 27, 2007. The show follows paranormal investigators Zak Bagans, Nick Groff, and Aaron Goodwin as they explore alleged haunted locations.
The Travel Channel also announced that it will soon air a new "Ghost Adventures" spin off series. Zak Bagans will host the new "Ghost Adventures: Aftershocks" series.
The second "Ghost Adventures" series called "Aftershocks" will premiere on Saturday, April 26. The show is scheduled for 13 episodes which past guests from "Ghost Adventures" return to tell their ghost stories. In this new series, Bagans invites some of the people that they have encountered from the original series to Las Vegas for an update on how their lives are now.
"Past guests from 'Ghost Adventures' will sit in a warehouse studio set to tell us more chilling information about their spirit attachments and very personal terrifying ghost stories since I've last seen them," Bagans said in an interview with Robin Leach. "So far, every episode we've filmed is nothing short of powerful, emotional moments, tears and WTF moments. It's gotta watch TV! The first episode deals with demonic attacks and will literally draw tears, then send chills down your spine with what is presented on the premiere."
The Ghost Adventures crew has investigated over a hundred locations all over the world. In nine seasons of the show, Zak, Nick, and Aaron have helped to provide answers to people that have witnessed and experienced paranormal phenomena.
The Travel Channel's "Ghost Adventures: Aftershocks" series premiere airs on Saturday, April 26, at 9 pm. Season ten of "Ghost Adventures" will air in the fall.
Saturdays just got a whole lot scarier. Watch new episodes of "Ghost Adventures" every Saturday night.

College Hockey:Atlantic Hockey suspends Army forward Hearn one game
Atlantic Hockey has suspended Army sophomore forward Shane Hearn for one game under the league's supplemental discipline policy.
Hearn was given the game suspension by AHA commissioner Bob DeGregorio and supervisor of officials Gene Binda after a review of a play last Saturday against Canisius when it was determined that Hearn targeted the head of a Canisius player.
Hearn will sit out the Black Knights' next game on Friday, Dec. 20 against Providence and will be eligible to play again on Jan. 3, 2014, against Mercyhurst.

The world of boxing has experienced its pros and cons of a sport that so many has grown to like or simply has become obsessed with in many ways. If you ask any true fan of the sport which fight is the most anticipated fight that can be made today; chances are the answer will be Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao.
It's been called many things: The Super Fight, The Dream Match, The Mega-Fight and Fight of the Century among others.
As complicated as this matchup has been over the years to make a reality, negotiations are now as close as they've ever been. According to Danny Buenafe of ABS-CBN News, this fight has finally found a savior. Once the super powers abroad realized the magnitude and value of this mega-fight they immediately jumped on board.
The Royal Family and President Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Nahyan of the United Arab Emirites (UAE) allowed Prince Amir Shafipour to privately start negotiations with a major boxing promoter here in the United States with intentions to host this big event in Dubai. Prince Shafipour who is no stranger to promoting and hosting big events has made it clear that he's in connection with the right people and have more money than he needs to make this fight happen.
Shafipour said, "Those previously involved has not approached this event the right way and because of that, it hasn't happened. He said, with all of his worldwide connections and his experience in promoting huge events, he's definitely the missing piece that will make this fight a reality." He will not reveal who his connection is here in the U.S. but says he's tied to both camps.
Rumors have started to surfaced that it's already a done deal. The entities involved are just ironing out the small wrinkles before contracts are signed. Is this event finally about to happen? This news should serve as sweet music to the ears of those who has patiently been waiting. Well, when it comes to this fight—the whole world waits.
Mayweather has already reserved September 13, 2014 for his next bout. Apparently, the location is yet to be determined or has it? Dubai maybe.
There are also talks that Mayweather and Leonard Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather Promotions is entertaining the thought of giving former welterweight champion Marcos Maidana (35-4, 32 KO's) a rematch. Back on May 3, the Argentinean fighter gave undefeated pound for pound king Mayweather (46-0, 27 KO's) problems in the first four rounds of that fight with a rugged and brutal attack from all angles. His fight plan ignited extreme pleasure from his fan base.
In the eyes of many who observed the fight most agreed how well the astute Mayweather made adjustments and took over the fight from round five through twelve. The judges at ringside scored it 117-111, 116-112 and 114-114. It was a majority decision win for Mayweather, but because of Maidana's relentless effort in the fight, a rematch is highly considered, said Team Mayweather.
It's no secret that Pacquiao (56-5-2, 38 KO's) recently signed a new contract extension with promoter Bob Arum of Top Rank that will succeed through the end of 2016. Although, there is still skepticism on the behalf of Mayweather's bad relationship with Arum, Prince Shafipour feels very optimistic about closing the deal. Generally, money is usually the antidote that cures the worst of arguments and disagreements in the minds of most. The prince knows that formula all too well.
Prince Shafipour represents Golden Cage Events and Promotions who was given credit for the huge success of Global Fighting Championship held in Dubai according to writer Buenafe. Many alike know this bout between the two biggest icons in boxing has been one of the most complicated match-ups in recent years to bring together.
It has been said by this writer, written in a previous article, "If it was a fruit, it would have fallen off the tree already. It can only get so ripe." By now let's try the word rotten. This fight has fell through on many occasions whether it is drug testing, promoter differences, who gets the lion share of profits or I'm calling all the shots. There are many who still feel that Mayweather's fear of losing has prolonged this fight. It has been that back and forth trash talk that's kept this mega-event from happening.
Promoter Prince Amir Shafipour has the support of The President and the Royal Family of one of the richest cities along side its neighbor Abu Dhabi which is considered the richest city in the world. Both are located on the Persian Gulf Coast and now making strides to becoming a world leader in hosting huge sporting events. Dubai is going all out by putting all the chips on the table to make this mega-fight a reality.
Let's see this time if—Money talks.

Murdered woman's family
ELKHART — Jessica Starr's family and friends have fond memories of her life, but close to two months after she was stabbed outside her Elkhart home, still no answers about who caused her death.
Starr had just arrived home on Aug. 8. at 28765 Melody Lane in Elkhart when someone approached her car. A struggle ensued inside her car, and her roommate called 911 after she heard screaming. Elkhart County Sheriff's Department deputies found 26-year-old Starr lying in the backyard, having been beaten and stabbed, authorities said last week in the first details that have been released publicly about her death. Elkhart County investigators asked Lt. Cindy Kilgore, Michiana Crime Stoppers Inc. coordinator, to feature the crime in hopes of drawing tips, Kilgore said.
No suspects have been publicly named, and sheriff's department authorities had no updates to the case last week, other than saying it is still under investigation.
Starr's family's questions go unanswered. Their frustration is palpable.
"The brutality of it and the unanswered questions have been so hard," Starr's sister-in-law, Barbie Starr, said Saturday in the first media interview the family has given since her death.
Starr's friends and family describe her as a happy, outgoing person who did whatever she could for people around her. The slim woman's long blonde hair won the affection of friends, who often were caught braiding it or twirling it in class at Ross Beatty Junior-Senior High School in Cassopolis, Mich., where Starr graduated in 2002. It earned her one of her many nicknames, "Blondie."
Starr's best friend, Danielle Hembree of Elkhart, said the two "were always up to something together" in the 15 years they knew each other. That included childbirth. Starr slept on the floor next to Hembree in the hospital when she had her daughter eight years ago. She later helped Hembree coach her daughter's T-ball team.
"Jessica was always that person who everyone went to," Hembree said. "If she told you it was going to be OK, you believed her that it was going to be OK."
Hembree's children referred to Starr as their "aunt" and Starr would come home from work and eat lunch with Hembree's son during a time when they were next-door neighbors. His face "lit up" when he saw Starr, Hembree said.
Starr's father, Frank Starr II, described her as a "gearhead" who co-workers called if a car wouldn't start or had a flat tire. Hembree called her a "grease monkey," an impression a stranger may not have gathered from Starr's pretty face.
"If daddy was under the hood and Jessica could be there, she'd be just as greasy as her dad would," Hembree said.
School years
Martin Lukaszewski, Starr's sophomore English teacher, taught her again by happenstance in an English composition class at Brown Mackie College. Starr worked hard and was "the life in a classroom," he said.
"When she was in high school, she was more adult-natured than she was a kid," he said. "She was mature for her age. She was the type of kid, it doesn't matter who, if you needed something, she was going to help you."
When Starr was in high school, Lukaszewski was diagnosed with a physical ailment that gives him tremors. When he taught her again at Brown Mackie, he said, she remembered his ailment and asked him about his health.
"That amount of care, I wish more people in the world cared about people how she did."
Lukaszewski recently returned to teaching after being out of the profession for a few years. He had doubts about his decision, but when he saw at Starr's memorial, a picture of her in his classroom, it was a validation for him to keep teaching. That moved him.
"To me, it was like being spoken to from God or from her," he said.
'It would break most people'
Starr had been working two jobs — as she had most of her adult life — at the time of her death. She was a line trainer at Dometic Corp. in Elkhart, and earned extra money at Kmart, a job she picked up while attending Brown Mackie. She graduated with an associate's degree in paralegal studies in 2007, a career path she took after she was attacked and injured in a harrowing home invasion as a teenager. Starr used that experience as a way to relate to victims at the Elkhart County Prosecuting Attorney's office, where she worked as a paralegal after graduation. She worked there for at least two years, said Chief Investigator Ed Windbigler. She also volunteered at a women's shelter, her father said.
"It would break most people," Starr's father said of the attack. "Her, it just made her more determined."
Starr's mother, Maria Sobieralski, said she and Jessica worked on forgiving her daughter's attacker. Now, she said, she has to work on forgiving her daughter's killer.
"That's a hard one right now," Sobieralski said, as she fought back tears. "Because I see her everywhere. I do."
She pointed to her couch and love seat, which she had given Starr, that were now back in her home. "And I realize that is exactly how I will see her, is lively, loving, forgiving and nothing but love."
Starr would have turned 27 this November. Sobieralski keeps Starr's sketchbooks and looks at her drawings often.
"That's going to be a hard day," Sobieralski said. "I want to forget August 8th. I won't, but I'm going to try. I can still see her in a white shirt, a pink bow, and I see her smile. That's how I'll see her."
Starr's friends have questioned how this kind person could be killed so brutally, including Andrea Burt, who graduated from Ross Beatty with Starr in 2002 and who now lives in Pekin, Ill.
"We're from a little small town," Burt said. "Everybody knows everybody. To have that happen, it happened to us. It happened to everybody."
Nothing will bring justice to Jessica Starr, but her family members say they want her killer captured so that person can't devastate another family. Jessica would want them to protect any possible future victims.
"That's got to be the focus," her dad said, "because that would be her focus the whole time."

Contemplating this blighted and sinister career, the lesson is burnt in upon the conscience, that since Judas by transgression fell, no place in the Church of Christ can render any man secure. And since, falling, he was openly exposed, none may flatter himself that the cause of Christ is bound up with his reputation, that the mischief must needs be averted which his downfall would entail, that Providence must needs avert from him the natural penalties for evildoing. Though one was as the signet upon the Lord's hand, yet was he plucked thence. There is no security for any soul except where love and trust repose, upon the bosom of Christ.

When the war finally came to an end, I was at a loss as to what to do. . . . I took stock of my qualifications. A not-very-good degree, redeemed somewhat by my achievements at the Admiralty. A knowledge of certain restricted parts of magnetism and hydrodynamics, neither of them subjects for which I felt the least bit of enthusiasm. No published papers at all. . . . Only gradually did I realize that this lack of qualification could be an advantage. By the time most scientists have reached age thirty they are trapped by their own expertise. They have invested so much effort in one particular field that it is often extremely difficult, at that time in their careers, to make a radical change. I, on the other hand, knew nothing, except for a basic training in somewhat old-fashioned physics and mathematics and an ability to turn my hand to new things. . . . Since I essentially knew nothing, I had an almost completely free choice. . . .

"What sort of man or woman shall I be; what kind of life shall I propose and hew out ?" The answer one frames to this question is his personal ideal, and will exercise a potent influence upon the development of his character and the direction of his conduct. Toward it the growing soul strives, day after day, year after year; its outlines, first existing only in the imagination of the heart, gradually, almost imperceptibly impress themselves on the soul and body, and manifest themselves in the outer life; "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." The personal ideal distinguishes man from lower creatures; and its perfection and power mark the high and full development of humanity. Very early it becomes the directing influence in self-culture,-which is by far the most important part of education; all truly higher education is self-education; the mission of all training from without is to stimulate and aid and guide one to take charge of his own culture and career. Conscious education is always directed by some sort of an ideal: the school, the home, national education are laboring to mold men and women into certain general forms of excellence and virtue; the personal ideal is the image that one forms of his own possible self. The personal ideal must have power over our lives, else it is not an ideal at all, but only an idea. One must not merely dream of strength, of wisdom, of skill and power, of honor and righteousness, of nobility and generosity, - he must resolve to attain them. He must see himself pursuing and achieving, and be inspired and energized by the vision. Such a vision of power is the personal ideal.

Perhaps the most surprising thing about mathematics is that it is so surprising. The rules which we make up at the beginning seem ordinary and inevitable, but it is impossible to foresee their consequences. These have only been found out by long study, extending over many centuries. Much of our knowledge is due to a comparatively few great mathematicians such as Newton, Euler, Gauss, or Riemann; few careers can have been more satisfying than theirs. They have contributed something to human thought even more lasting than great literature, since it is independent of language.

It may have nothing to do with being pregnant. If you are very stressed out its possible to produce milk. I know this sounds strange, but I had a lot of stressful event happen about a year and a half ago and I was producing milk. I had never been pregnant at that point and the diagnosis was that my body was trying to cope with all the stree.. Hope this helps!posted 12/21/2010 by expecting82511

The 80th annual Chicago Boat, RV, and Outdoors Show takes place this week from Wednesday, January 13 through Sunday the 17th at McCormick Place.
A boat show is a good place to find deals on new boats. (Keep in mind, though, that there is still a big glut in the used boat market, so even better deals might be found.) Boat shows are also great for buying gear (and getting free stuff), learning more about boating, and having fun.
There will be exhibits for all ages at this year's boat show, including colonial pirates, dog diving competitions, and SpongeBob SquarePants.

ExxonMobil plans to expand the size of its campus under construction in Houston to accommodate additional employees from the area and from company locations in Fairfax, Va. and Akron, Ohio. All 2,100 employees at the company's refining headquarters in Fairfax are being transferred to Houston.
ExxonMobil said Wednesday that it will expand the size of
its campus under construction in Houston to
accommodate additional employees from the immediate area and
from company locations in Fairfax, Va. and Akron, Ohio.
The affected units include ExxonMobil Refining and Supply in Fairfax,
which had played host to the segment for some time. Mobil was
based in Fairfax prior to its 1999 merger with Exxon.
Other companies involved are ExxonMobil Research
and Engineering; ExxonMobil Fuels, Lubricants & Specialties
Marketing; the Akron-based employees of ExxonMobil Chemical;
and select positions from ExxonMobil Research and Engineering
and ExxonMobil Chemical now located at the Baytown refinery complex outside of
Including additional employees on the new campus will
provide even more opportunities for collaboration and
innovation, supporting ExxonMobils mission of delivering
energy to meet growing global needs, said Bryan Milton,
president of ExxonMobil Global Services.
The new campus will have multiple low-rise office buildings,
laboratory, conference and training centers and facilities such as child care, a
wellness center and other employee amenities, the company
The campus is located on a 385-acre wooded site on
company-owned land near the intersection of I-45 and the Hardy
Toll Road.
It will accommodate approximately 10,000 employees and is
being constructed to high standards of energy efficiency and environmental stewardship, according
to the company.
Construction of the campus began in
2011. Early site work includes the construction of access roads and
bridges, central utilities, computer support and parking facilities.
Employees will move to the campus in phases as the buildings
are constructed, beginning in early 2014.
Full occupancy for employees is expected by 2015.

Wealth Watch Newsletter: Boring Is the New SexyFebruary 2009
In this Wealth Watch newsletter article, Gail Cohen discusses why clients are "flocking" to banks known for their steady reputations.
Not long ago, it wasn't unusual for folks at Fiduciary Trust Company International to lose a prospective client to a competitor who promised access to all the latest, hot alternative investments. But Fiduciary Trust, a custodial bank founded in 1931 by a group of lawyers looking for a safe haven for their clients' holdings, held the line, refusing to change its conservative philosophy and offer more fashionable—and aggressive—choices.
What a difference a market catastrophe makes. Now, like a bespectacled bookworm who suddenly becomes a prom queen, the bank is the belle of the ball. It's being flooded with assets from clients seeking the security of a reliable institution.
While the company won't reveal revenues or assets, officials there will say that Fiduciary Trust signed up three times as many clients as usual in September 2008 alone.
"Boring is the new sexy," says Gail Cohen, executive vice president and head of global wealth management at Fiduciary Trust.
Fiduciary Trust isn't alone. A handful of stick-in-the-mud private banks, wealth management firms, trust companies and others who didn't indulge in sub-prime loans or other toxic investments, are also experiencing a quantum leap in new clients looking for a safe home.
The roster includes Bessemer Trust, Bank of New York Mellon, J.P. Morgan, and a number of others. In many cases, they're also getting a bigger share of existing clients' portfolios. A few firms are even reporting that last year was a record year for new business.
"Some of these institutions are taking in so much money, they don't know what to do with it all," says Joseph Field, senior international partner at Withers Bergman, a New York-based law firm (and no relation to the author of this article).
Steady as She Goes
All those new accounts have helped some firms maintain a steady level of assets. The reason: while existing assets under management generally fell thanks to the market downturn, the new money has helped make up the difference.
Case in point: Bank of New York Mellon. Total private client assets "before all hell broke loose" were $158 billion, according to Joe Fernandez, managing director. Although that money took a hit (Fernandez won't say by how much), total assets are now $162 billion, because of the inflow of new accounts.
Or, take Bessemer. In 2008, the company added 17 new clients, up 65 percent from the year before, for a total of about $3.5 billion in new assets. Its total of $52 billion in assets is about the same as the year before. "That new business definitely offset market value declines," says Robert Elliott, senior managing director.
And, at J.P. Morgan Chase, the private bank "saw unprecedented inflows of new assets and new-client acquisition," says Joanne Johnson, head of U.S. trusts and estates for J.P. Morgan Private Bank. Net new asset flows in 2008 of about $80 billion represented a 25 percent increase from the year before; total client assets at the private bank are $417 billion.
The trend is by no means confined to the United States. At Pictet, a Geneva-based private bank, all areas of the firm's business—institutional asset management, private client services, and global custodian services—have seen an uptick, according to Dina De Angelo, director. Although she won't divulge numbers, she does say, "2008 was an amazing year for us."
Another Geneva-based private bank, Lombard Odier Darier Hentsch, reports that it has been turning down prospective clients who don't meet its standards. "We do not expect to take on clients without both parties getting to know each other over time and understanding each others' expectations," wrote Sally Tennant, CEO of Lombard Odier in London, in an email responding to our inquiries.
And, according to Francesca Boschini, director of fiduciary solutions, United States and Latin America, at the Royal Bank of Canada, the bank has had a "significant" increase in assets from both new clients and existing accounts.
The attraction for many clients lies largely in the slow and steady investment philosophy of these institutions. Bessemer, for example, used auction rate securities for about four months, then dropped them in early 2008, when it became clear they were "having trouble getting them cleared," according to Elliott. In addition, client portfolios tend to have no more than 10 percent to 20 percent in hedge funds or private equity. Also, the bank avoided such risky areas as emerging markets.
Pictet had no investment in sub-prime instruments—at all. And, about 18 months ago, it took the step of moving from investing in gold funds to investing in the actual, physical stuff. "People want to come to the building and see their pile of gold," says Di Angelo.
The structure of these firms and the nature of their business are also lures. Take Mellon. As a traditional wealth manager and trustee, its clients' assets, of course, are segregated from the organization's balance sheet, providing an attractive source of protection. Bessemer, like most of these firms, makes no commercial loans. "We're only in the business of managing money for high-net-worth individuals," says Elliott.
Perhaps most notable is Pictet and Lombard. Because both are run as partnerships, it's the owners who are liable if the bank were to fail. As a result, the partners are particularly careful about their investment decisions. "If our clients lose everything, we lose everything," says Di Angelo.
Client Panic
The bottom line for many clients is that these institutions not only exhibited sound judgment, but also seem to be the most likely players to remain solvent.
There's also the government bailout factor. Fernandez recalls one entrepreneur who became spooked last fall when the financial institution holding his $50 million account accepted a liquidity injection from the government. He switched his money to Mellon.
In some cases, people have moved their accounts in a veritable state of panic. Elliott points to a client who decided last fall to move his $20 million account from his then-current bank to Bessemer—and to have it done in 24 hours, threatening to sue the original institution if it didn't comply. "That's the kind of fear these people are in," he says.
Other clients moving their money are particularly interested in taking a more active role. According to Di Angelo, many of the new accounts at Pictet are insisting on putting their money in the advisory, rather than the discretionary, area of the business. "Clients coming in want to know what they're investing in," says Di Angelo. "They want to retain the decisionmaking authority."
Despite the flood of money, most of the firms are not staffing up. One exception is Mellon. According to Fernandez, the bank has increased business development staff by 10 percent to 20 percent recently. In his West Palm Beach Fla. office, he just hired a new senior portfolio manager.
How do the executives at these institutions feel about their new popularity?
"Vindicated would not be a bad word to use," says Elliott, who recalls a time in the recent past when clients regularly reacted with incredulity when he refused to take more aggressive action. "People used to say, 'They're not the sharpest pencil in the box.' Now, they see our approach was the right one."

You can thank my brother Rodney for this follow up article on a Frank Lloyd Wright organic architecture designed golf clubhouse in Maui that Golf Digest's Matt Ginella titled "The Coolest Clubhouse" for his article of November 2008. Since spring is almost here in 2014 and all you avid gardening golfers are itching to hit that little white ball, we thought it appropriate to recall the Maui first-hand experience that Rodney enjoyed. Be sure and watch the slideshow to see the experience yourself.
The coolest clubhouse- originally a house for Marilyn Monroe
Ginella begins his article by telling us that Frank Lloyd Wright was "the greatest American architect, most recognized for the Guggenheim Museum in New York City." He goes on to say that Wright didn't play golf, but is accountable for what is possibly the "most awe-inspiring clubhouse in the country today. The design, which he drew up more than 50 years ago, was originally intended to be a house for Marilyn Monroe."
The essence of organic architecture
Golf Digest's Ginella article states that when you fly into Maui, then drive west to Ka'anapali or Kapalua, about fifteen minutes into your drive, you can gaze to your right and try to see King Kamehameha Golf Club. The clubhouse "looks like a space station or a cluster of clams, but without a keen eye, you'll drive right by it." It emphasizes Wright's philosophy of organic architecture- that "architecture should be inspired by the natural habitat."
Matt tells some of what the head of the Frank Lloyd Wright design team had to say about the site adapted golf clubhouse,
"We very carefully made the rose colors consistent with the tone of the West Maui Mountains," says John Rattenbury, 79, who worked for Wright for nine years in the 1950s and still works and lives at Wright's foundation at Taliesin West in Scottsdale. "The golf course has bunkers, rolling greens and fairways. All of those soft curves blend in with the dome roof of the clubhouse -- not to mention the curves of Marilyn Monroe."
In January 2013 John Rattenbury joined with Michael Rust, another design disciple of Frank Lloyd Wright specializing in organic architecture.
About organic architecture design philosophy from Frank Lloyd Wright
From the current Wrightian Taliesin site:
"I know that architecture is life; or at least it is life itself taking form and therefore the truest record of life as it was lived in the world yesterday, as it is lived today or ever will be lived." Frank Lloyd Wright (quoted in Rattenbury, p. 14).
"Organic architecture seeks superior sense of use and a finer sense of comfort, expressed in organic simplicity." Frank Lloyd Wright ("All Wright Site" – Quotations).
In A Living Architecture, John Rattenbury writes that Organic Architecture is, "simply put, an intrinsic, natural, living architecture based on ideas"
The Marilyn Monroe house design
Marilyn Monroe married playwright Arthur Miller and they met Wright in New York in 1957 and commissioned him to design a dream house getaway they desired to build in Roxbury, Conn. The old master presented them a set of unbuilt plans he had designed for a well-heeled couple in Texas, then when that project was abandoned it later was to be a residence in Acapulco for a Mexican government official but that too was not constructed. The famous couple acquired the plans but then asked Wright to expand the design by adding servants' quarters, a larger closet, a pool and a movie theater. The Wright design doubled, increasing to 14,000 square feet. However, Wright died in 1959, at 91, and the pair divorced in 1961, thus, the house was never built. The plans were parked in an archival vault at Taliesin in Scottsdale for almost 30 years.

A project resurrected
Then, In 1988, a group of economic minded Japanese investors made a long trip to Taliesin West to negotiate the purchase of a Frank Lloyd Wright design for a golf clubhouse they wanted to build in Maui. "They weren't happy to find out there were no specific clubhouse designs available," says Rattenbury. "But I told them I had a design that Mr. Wright did for Marilyn Monroe. That really got their interest."
Rattenbury was obviously pleased at another possibly to promote Wright's organic architecture designs.
For $27 million, the group, led by Takeshi Sekiguchi, built the clubhouse. "I kept asking them what their budget was," says Rattenbury. "They kept telling me to quit worrying about the budget and worry about the quality."
Original design integrity retained
Rattenbury, head of the Taliesin design team, preserved the integrity and the appearance of the original Wright design by placing two-thirds of the golf clubhouse beneath ground level. Two levels were added including men's and women's locker rooms and a cart outbuilding and golf shop. One of the notable design elements is the 4,300-square-foot banqueting room with a 270-degree bicoastal outlook.
The Ginella article states that,
"On a clear day, the elevation -- 773 feet -- gives you a spectacular vantage point for the dormant volcano Mt. Haleakala, Ho'okipa Bay to the left and the Ma'alaea Bay to the right. (There's a similar story to the Wright-designed clubhouse at Nakoma Golf Resort in California.)"
Some history of the golf club
Ginella describes a bit of subsequent history of the King Kamehameha Golf Club
Before it became the King Kamehameha Golf Club, it was the Waikapu Valley Country Club and then briefly the Grand Waikapu Golf Resort and Spa. But the Japanese economy collapsed, and the club closed in 1999. Another Japanese tycoon, Makoto Kaneko, used to fly into Maui over the dormant club. He's a golf enthusiast and wanted to leave a legacy to a game and an island he loved. He purchased the club in 2004 for $12.5 million, and it reopened in May 2006 after an additional $40 million in renovations. Ted Robinson Sr. designed the original golf course; before it reopened, changes were made by his son, Ted Robinson Jr. The wind can be a serious factor. The par-5 18th hole offers the best look at Wright's clubhouse. The club has 160 members, the most famous of whom is Clint Eastwood.
"We're a pure golf experience in Maui," says Rick Castillo, director of golf. "For now we're the only 18-hole private club here, we have a Frank Lloyd Wright clubhouse and we honor the Hawaiian tradition, history and culture."
An interesting perk
Ginella concludes the article with an aside comment from John Rattenbury.
"At one point Mr. Wright interviewed with Marilyn Monroe when she came to Scottsdale," says Rattenbury. "She was shorter than I thought she'd be, but she was beautiful. When she arrived, Mr. Wright sent everybody away. None of us know what took place that hour or two that they were together. Obviously nothing happened, but it makes an interesting perk to the story."
