Floyd Mayweather has been an HBO fighter since...seems like forever. That changed, today, when it was announced that "Money" will be getting his money from Showtime, and its parent company, CBS.
The deal, according to a release, will "enable" the 43-0 Mayweather to fight up to six times over 30 months. The first fight in the deal will be a May 4 clash in Las Vegas, against Robert Guerrero. The release boasted that if Mayweather fights those six times, and continues to maintain his PPV numbers, the deal "will be the richest individual athlete deal in all of sports."
I reached out to HBO, for a response. A spokesman offered this take.
"We made an aggressive and responsible pay-per-view offer. Now we move on. We are focused on the best boxing franchise in the television business. We are proud of the roster of superstar fighters and emerging stars who are scheduled to appear on the multiple HBO television platforms this year."
Mayweather first fought on HBO on Sept. 6, 1997, against Louie Leija, on "Boxing After Dark." That relationship was by no means a smooth one all the way through. Back in 1999, Mayweather didn't care for a renewal offer, a seven fight deal which he termed a "slave contract."
On the undercard, Canelo Alvarez will meet Austin Trout in a junior middleweight tussle.
Comcast's Ryan Maquinana broke the story.
Here is the release sent out by Mayweather Promotions.
LAS VEGAS (Feb. 19, 2013). Undefeated eight-time world champion Floyd "Money" Mayweather, boxing's pound-for-pound king and the highest paid athlete in the world (Forbes, 2012), has entered into a groundbreaking pay-per-view deal with Showtime Networks Inc. and its parent company, CBS Corporation. Under the new deal, SHOWTIME PPV® will collaborate with CBS Corporation to comprehensively promote Mayweather's events on the CBS Television Network and via the corporation's expansive media platforms.
The deal-a unique revenue-sharing arrangement between SHOWTIME PPV and Mayweather-will enable him to fight up to six times over a period of 30 months, with the first mega-event taking place on May 4, 2013, when Mayweather will fight Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero. More details of this upcoming event will be announced shortly.
Mayweather's new deal is by far the biggest in the sport of boxing (specific financial details are contractually confidential). Mayweather is the PPV king and averages over 1 million PPV buys per event, which is the highest PPV buy average of any boxer in history. At this record-setting PPV performance level, if all six fights contemplated by this deal occur, it will be the richest individual athlete deal in all of sports.
Thoughts, readers? Is this a seismic shift in the boxing world? Where does this leave HBO? Is Andre Ward or Adrien Broner their lead dog? Can Guerrero (31-1-1) hand Floyd his first loss, in their clash for Floyd's WBC welterweight title? Floyd turns 36 on Feb. 24--will he really fight six times with Showtime? How much longer will he lace em up?
Money May is the ultimate PRIZEFIGHTER. Always go for the best money the easiest way. First and foremost, it is all about the BIG PAY. And that is how you should always play. And if they don't want to do it like that, it's no reason to stay. Don't take any syet. You were HBO box-office hit.
The game is "The threatre of the unexpected."
"Old Blue Eyes" did it his way." So will Money May. Haters keep spitin' yo' sh*±! But doze in da know don't care what you say. Oh course Money May is better than Sugar Ray -- that will be Robinson. Holla!
I see the MAyweather fanatics jumping up and down...cheesing it up....hooping and hollering on message boards... let me remind you ....your MAyweather fees and dues and subscriptions just went from overpriced to now multiplied by 10. Lmfao.
But what about the undercard?? Canello and Broner were supposedly going to be on the undercard. And how can anyone sign a 36 year old fighter for 6 more fights??? That doesn't add up. Ruthless move by Mayweather... I'd like to heat the details..... where's Hauser when you need an investigative reporter/writer?
B-Sug, it is not the age, it is the stage. The haters are full of rage. Money May has 'em all in a metaphoric cage. For a long while yet, he will be on their front page. Holla!
True dat. The nugga' getting paid and I ain't mad but more deals just became harder to make. The gap between the leading promotional companies just got wider . In-house fight cards from here on out. Its truly sort of tragic . The MAyweather fanatics shouldn't celebrate too hard. This news is akin to Uncle Sam just raising your taxes across the board. Lmfao.
Cant wait to hear what Canello has to say... I thought him and MAY had a deal. Wow...makes me wonder if this is a master move or an epic fail. But its intresting.
I think it has to be in the cards. Remember, they all sleep under the same roof.
good for floyd for fighting guerrero. guerrero desevrves the fight and will bring in more $ then devon -detroight is so broke I cant even spell it-alexander. floyd is not fighting 6 times in 30 months. maybe 3 times. 50 cent is a ho/joke and floyd is smarr for not partnering up with 50 cent. I might not want to pay for hbo anymore. lets see. either way floyd and his daddy fighting against a tough decent man should be fun to watch. broner acts like he never had money before, too bad velero isnt around to fight him.
cant blame floyd for taking more money...
at this point i wont pay 70 bucks for a ppv, no thanks...
i dont buy many anymore, too expensive and too unpredictable...
however i have bought floyds last two ppvs,
but for 70 bucks ill just catch it online on a stream....
isnt canelo contracted under hbo?
and isnt broner as well?
that messes things up for sure
I ain't hating, just stating - Who would be six good opponents for Floyd? To keep his PPV numbers high he will have to have six worthy opponents. If he has six worthy opponents goodbye goose egg. I would have to agree with six not being in the cards.
I don't see it happening either.
If he was going to fight Canelo he would have done it sooner than
later seeing he is almost 36.
Who's after the ghost?
He won't fight pac or Sergio,
Cotto rematch could be possible. Seeing as cotto draws ppvs.
Maybe jmm rematch.
I don't know I have nothing.
there's no low hanging fruit for FMJ,.. any decent contender he gets in the ring with will have the potential to win an upset. Hey how about Broner in a year or two??
Even a rejuvinated Amir Khan could be the kiss of death.
Nobody who Money May dances with will be capable of upsetting him any time soon. Holla!
Berto must feel like sh!t!! He blew 2 opportunities at huge pay day smdh!!
Browner will just get better and bigger over time.
I don't see Floyd risking a loss
Perhaps a DlH coming out of retirement with a few easy
tuneups and then fighting Floyd may 2014??
I know that sounds crazy but I've been seeing where DlH
thinks about a comeback fight all the time
and that not only would not be an embarrassing loss to him
but the biggest event possible.
Based on the Mayweather we saw against Cotto, he'll be in tough on May 4th . Money May's reflexes and legs are deserting him like every fighter @ 36 yrs
We've seen this before as with Sugar Ray Leonard. When fighters of this style start to slip physically, they're doomed because they can't depend on
punching power to rescue them.
The Good Doctor, I hollered at the fight doctor. And I'm with the ancient genuis of whup arse. Money May is going to do a job on the Cali Ghost. And he'd kick Sergio's @$$. Though WHY? Sergio is full of syet! And his big @$$ oughta call out somebody his on size. Or do like Money May and fight smaller cats, get paid, and STFU! And spend da moola. Making those working girls' @$$£$ go da hula-hula. Hehe! Hos wanna be paid too to entertain. Money May got a lot of riders, hitchhikers and freelodgers on his money train.
Money May is a prizefighter, first and foremost. Trout is not worth a BIG purse, so why fight him? And avoiding Da Manny has made Money May more money overall, than one BIG paycheck for an arse thrashing to satisfy haters.
Money May will be able to beat any welterweight for the next five years. He's gettin' long in da tooth, but he will still be able to run syet in da beatdown booth.
Haters are the superstar syet talkers in cyberspace. And will never accept Da Manny or Money May leading da whup-@$$ pace, and being in the number one P4P PLACE.
Money May RULES. And haters oughta quit having da wobby craniums of hardheaded-@ss MULES! Money May is not just a top ATG pugilist, he's a top ATG smart. Holla!
We all have slippage with aging. You have to have the knowhow to modify the script. It is no reason, and it is no longer the season, for 36-year-old Money May to fight like the 26-year-old one. Dat jive could spell running into a punch and getting KAYOed -- lights out.
Let me remind you! Da 34-year-old Manny was fighting crybaby-@ss Marquez as if Da Manny was 24-year old again. KaPOW! LIGHT OUT! Know your time. The 24-year-old PacMan woulda ate dat punch up, and made the broken-nose-and-eyesocket Marquez quit on the strool in the next round or so, i.e Oscar Dela Hoya. But the 34-year-old Manny should have danced away from the dangerous crybaby with a sec left in the round.
Money May is going ghostbust the Cali Ghost's @ss with tricks of the trade. For Money May, TCG is homemade. Money May is not going to float. He's going to be a slipping, sliding and riding cutthroat. And is going to cause holes in TCG's lack of defense, and sink him like a boat. Holla!
Mad TYs for replying, TGD! Holla!
I Floyd fought Sergio at mw or around
157 I would bet the farm on Sergio.
That is one fight Floyd doesn't have more than a defensive advantage.
Dangit, Amayseng! Sorry! I'd feel like a con man taking your farm. Sergio could not beat Money May if Money May came in at 150 and Sergio came in at 170. Some fighters just cannot beat others. Sergio Marquez would be freaky-dreaky S & M for Money May.
The Money man would beat the snot outta SM. Don't believe the promoting and bullsyetology to get PAID by SM. If he were a drawing card, Money May woulda beat his arse a long time ago. That woulda, coulda, shoulda been one easy payday.
Money May just stays away from hard jive. Money May would beat him so bad that you will believe that he took a dive. Holla!
At least, IMHO, the Ghost will be a better southpaw-opponent (from all perspectives) than Ortiz. Sure Mayweather will probably win but Robert, considering the criteria with which Mayweather picks his opponents, is a decent challenge whom may also provide a few surprises. As far as Sergio Martinez is concerned (as a future opponent) I actually think that if the SM that fought Paul Williams shows up, and he is not made to lose (too much weight) Mayweather is in for a tougher night than that experienced with Cotto or (the 1st) Castillo (fight). It will be interesting to see whom Mayweather fights to fulfil both - the 6 fight deal contractual and his own legacy/match making - requirements
My thoughts. What makes boxing so interesting is this: Floyd has just started his decline. Injuries will linger a bit longer, the reflexes will diminish ever so slightly. But even if they didn't, an opponent having an outstanding night can win. Think Billy Conn, Jake LaMotta, Leon Spinks, Jake 'The Snake' Rodriguez and the fighter that upset Danny Romero.
Of course, the list goes on and on. But yes, Floyd should be favored to win his fights right to the end of his career. 'The Ghost' earned this opportunity, let's hope both men are up to the task.
Good points Dino.
Guerrero will bring some heat and have some success IMO. Not sure if he has the marque level experience, adaptability, defence, style and ability to read a fight; well enough to beat Mayweather though. However, if he can get him to fight more of each round than he wants and isn't too hurt by Floyd's punches; the fight will be interesting. But are we to believe that the Ghost, as good/accomplished as he is, is better than JMM, Ortiz, Cotto and the Oscar that fought Floyd. And if he's not, is he not by the same amount Floyd has (undoubtedly) slipped?
In any regard, watching Mayweather fight more actively, and (hopefully) take (genuine) risks, at this (late) stage of his career; will be interesting. Particularly if he hasn't always got 100% control over who he fights. GB, as stated elsewhere here, can work it both ways (with HBO as we know) but also with Showtime. And with Espinoza being the architect of the deal (on Showetime's side) and a previous GB employee; it all makes sense. BrownSugar, you're probably right about a B-Hop in the lighter weights; they throw too many punches in those lighter weights to get away with fighting 1/2 a round the way B-Hop does.
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

Believe it or not, where I live, we've only had access to cell phones for two years. But in that time, many (most?) of the kids in our building over the age of about fourteen have adopted them. Whether they have complained to parents to get one, bought one themselves or had one given to them by their parents for safety reasons, as with many schools in North America, many of our kids carry a phone everywhere they go.
Students are welcomed and encouraged to bring their own laptop to my classroom. out of the 28 students I have this year, approximately 11 – 13 of them bring their own machines from home on any given day. Ipods (and yes, it's ipods) are almost universal. Almost every student in my class has one; and honestly those that don't; when I ask them about this say that they don't want one as they don't listen to a lot of music.
The one piece of technology I am wondering about is ereaders. Only five students in my class bring a kindle or a kobo with them on a daily basis. Anyone else seeing this? I'm wondering why this is? Is it because students get most of their books from a library instead of buying them? I'm curious about this as the technology of an ereader has become relatively cheap over the past year or two. Why aren't students adopting this technology faster? Is this true in other places as well?

Reviews for Pear Lime Gelatin
"Since childhood, I have always loved the combination of lime and pears. I love this recipe and have made it half a dozen times. Even a novice at cooking can make it! I wish they still sold cream cheese in 3oz. packages like they did years ago--I can only find the 8-oz. packages and have to cut them up, leaving the rest to go bad in the fridge!"
"Just noticed ~~ this is also diabetic friendly, something I can have, without the guilt. LOL"
"This salad looks beautiful. You can sure bet this will win positive compliments at our house. Thank you for sharing. Joscy"
"Good! I followed the recipe exactly, except I pureed the pears instead of mashing them... I figured my family would've been less likely to eat them with the smooth & chunky texture, so I made it all smooth. They called it green mousse :-) It's not a recipe I would make often, pretty rich, but definitely one to keep on hand for the holidays! Mine turned out a tad runny, but I think it's because I didn't let it set up long enough... but supper was ready and I needed to get it on the table! Next time I make this, I'll give it more time in the fridge... still yummy though! If you want something to compare the flavor to, I thought it tasted very similar to key lime whipped yogurt!"
"This is so easy, creamy and delicious! A friend tried it using lemon jello and it was equally good."

PASADENA, Calif. - In Colorado's two-win football season, it might be difficult to determine which of the nine losses was more painful and/or perplexing. Or it might not be difficult at all. We'll try and help you out here.
In September, there was the 36-33 loss to California. Painful enough, considering it was in overtime and would have been a nice bounce-back home win after convincingly losing the opener at Hawai'i.
In October, there was the 31-27 come-from-ahead loss against Washington State. Also painful enough, considering it was the Pac-12 Conference opener and the Buffs allowed two scores to lose it in the final 3 minutes.
On to November and UCLA's Senior Day in the Rose Bowl . . . and an afternoon of bewilderment of a different sort. CU was coming off maybe its most heartening Saturday of a sad season - a 48-29 rolling of Arizona that offered some indication of the Buffs perhaps getting it and of their exiting the murderous portion of their schedule and having something left.
At least they talked like it.
But somewhere between the final whistle at Folsom Field and the whistle's first burst in the Rose Bowl, whatever was gained from the previous weekend was lost. One step forward was rewarded with three steps back.
Here's what hurt most: this 45-6 smackdown wasn't delivered by a Top 25 team, it was dealt by a team with five losses that has been as schizophrenic in the Pac-12 Conference as Newt Gingrich has been as a presidential candidate.
UCLA is not to be mistaken for Stanford, Oregon or Southern California - three teams that blew out CU by a cumulative score of 135-26. Throw in the Arizona State result (and you might as well, because the Sun Devils were No. 23 before they began their death spiral) and the combined Buff kicking was 153-40.
But this was UCLA . . . and CU went to the Rose Bowl believing it could win - or so the Buffs claimed during the upbeat six-day run-up. It's pretty close to ridiculous to think a two-win team could develop swagger after Win No. 2, but the Buffs appeared to have something extra in their steps after last weekend.
Quarterback Tyler Hansen "guaranteed" CU wouldn't lose again on the road. Coach Jon Embree said CU's 23-game out-of-state losing streak would end in the Rose Bowl. After it didn't happen, didn't come close to happening, receiver Toney Clemons was asked when that newfound confidence was lost.
"Saturday," answered Clemons. "Today. We had a great week of preparation. We prepared for (UCLA) better than we prepared for Arizona. We had a way better week of practice . . . guys were more into it, more enthusiastic. We came out flat; I don't understand why we came out flat on the road. It's mind-boggling to me."
Embree's mind was no less boggled, but there were reasons other than his team lapsing back into its horribly familiar road self. Saturday was Senior Day for UCLA, and Embree's eldest son, Taylor, is a senior Bruins receiver. Of course, this game's buildup included the father-son angle, and Embree handled it well during the week.
But by Saturday night, it had worn on him. "I never want to do it again, never want to do it again," Jon Embree said. "I'm just glad it's a one-time deal. It's very awkward . . . just awkward."
The father congratulated his son after the game, told him he loved him and he was glad he and his team would be playing in a bowl game. That was an important accomplishment in Taylor's final year. There was no good-natured jawing during the game or even after the Bruins had blown out the Buffs.
"He'll wait til Christmas before he starts on his stuff . . . he knows how I am," Jon said, adding his son had earned "bragging rights - for life."
But Jon knows there are more critical issues to be dealt with than holiday barbs from his son and a lifetime of bragging rights. His painful first CU season is within game of completion and the long, ugly road losing streak remains. Last chance for this team to break it is Friday at Utah, which is 7-4 (4-4 Pac-12, still in the South race) and also celebrates its Senior Day against CU.
If the Buffs don't respond any better against the Utes on Senior Day than they did against the Bruins, the road losing streak gets handed off to the 2012 seniors. Like a virus, it's been passed from class to class since 2007.
"When you're talking about Senior Day, you've got to come out and match their energy and passion - and we didn't do that," Embree said of his son and his son's teammates jumping the Buffs.
Added Hansen: "They came out with the passion and intensity and we didn't match that . . . I don't know (why). We had all the reasons to do it and it just didn't happen."
That's what makes this loss more stupefying than the others. Then again, it was a road game, and CU's average margin of defeat on the road this fall is now 29.5 points. The closest the Buffs have come to winning away from home this season is their 34-17 opening loss at Hawai'i. Who knew?
Embree further explained that after his team faltered in the first 5 minutes and fell behind 21-0 to UCLA, it failed to capitalize on a stop here, a turnover there and "could never sustain anything offensively."
Defensively, poor tackling helped the Bruins rush for 328 yards - second only to the 371 the Buffs allowed Oregon in October. "The defense played OK in spurts," Embree said. "But we just didn't tackle; the last three or four drives they had, they just wore us down and we were poor tackling."
Embree believed his offense, which ran for a season-high 273 yards against Arizona, could once again run the ball - particularly against the Pac-12's No. 12 rushing defense. The Bruins entered the game allowing 190.2 ground yards a game; the Buffs ran for a paltry 87.
Said Embree: "I thought we were starting to find (the running game) with our offensive line. I felt like we could come in and be balanced, run and throw."
The Buffs threw for 142 yards and their lone TD (a 20-yarder from Hansen to Clemons), but Hansen was intercepted three times. He, too, believed the running game would be more proficient, particularly after last week: "I thought we could run the ball, I was confident in the O-line . . . but (UCLA) came out and played well - give them credit."
A season-long failure to deliver a consistent ground game will be among the most perplexing issues Embree and his staff will address in the off season. They'll attempt a three-day fix before heading to Utah, but a real solution requires more time than that.
Embree believes a foundation has been put down this season in several areas, but not in consistent play - which was apparent Saturday. "I don't know what it is," Clemons said, noting unless players are honest in their self-evaluations self-improvement in the final game won't come.
"I think it comes with a confidence thing; it comes down to the players," Clemons continued. "Individually some of us play with passion, some of us don't. In this game everybody has to have it. If you don't, games like that will come up.
"Hats off to UCLA; they had all the intensity and passion and they played like it for four quarters. If you want to be a good team and play with elite teams, you have to come out and play with intensity on every snap and be passionate about your work."
The Buffs' last chance in 2011 to do those things is Friday in Salt Lake City. "We've got one game left to try and end the road streak," Embree said. "We've got three practices left . . . four days of football left for the majority of those guys; they'll never play again."
That would seem to be motivation enough for their final trip, but then the Buffs also appeared motivated for their next-to-last trip. If they show up flat and start as they did Saturday in the Rose Bowl, they'll be better off staying on their side of the mountain.

While Octavious has been fighting crime his own way, there have been hints that somewhere inside Peter was still there. Now he is taking back his body and swinging back into action in an all-new series.
Fans will not want to miss how Parker takes back what is rightfully his when Amazing Spider-Man # 1 hits stores in April.

Brazing is the joining of metals through the use of heat and a filler metal one whose melting temperature is above 840°F(450°C) but below the melting point of the metals being joined. (A more exact name for the brazing process discussed in this book may be "silver brazing," since in most cases the filler metal used is a silver alloy. To remain brief, we'll use the term "brazing" throughout this book, with the understanding that we are referring to a torch brazing process with a silver-bearing filler metal. Where exceptions occur, it will be noted.) Brazing is probably the most versatile method of metal joining today, for a number of reasons. Brazed joints are strong. On non- ferrous metals and steels, the tensile strength of a properly made joint will often exceed that of the metals joined. On stainless steels, it is possible to develop a joint whose tensile strength is 130,000 pounds per square inch. ( 896.3 megapascal [MPa] ). Brazed joints are ductile, able to withstand considerable shock and vibration. Brazed joints are usually easy and rapidly made, with operator skill readily acquired. Brazing is ideally suited to the joining of dissimilar metals. You can easily join assemblies that combine ferrous with nonferrous metals, and metals with widely varying melting points. Brazing is essentially a one-operation process. There is seldom any need for grinding, filing or mechanical finishing after the joint is completed. Brazing is performed at relatively low temperatures, reducing the possibility of warping, overheating or melting the metals being joined. Brazing is economical. The cost- per-joint compares quite favorably with joints made by other metal joining methods. Brazing is highly adaptable to automated methods. The flexibility of the brazing process enables you to match your production techniques very closely to your production requirements. With all its advantages, brazing is still only one of the ways in which you can join metals. To use brazing properly, you must understand its relationship to other metal jointing methods. What are some of those methods and which should you use where?
Brazing, as we've noted, relies on heat and a filler metal to join metals. There is nothing unique about this. Welding and soldering are similar in these respects. And metals can also be joined efficiently and economically without the need for heat or a filler metal at all, by mechanical fastening or adhesive bonding. When would you use brazing, rather than one of these other methods? It depends on the circumstances. Lets start our evaluation of brazing as a metal joining method by eliminating those situations were brazing is generally unsuitable. The first of these situations is the non-permanent joint. This is the joint thats made with future disassembly in mind. (For example, a pump connected to a piping assembly.)
The pipes won't wear out, but some day the pump will. It's easier to disassemble a threaded or bolted pump connection than a brazed con- nekton. (You can "de-braze" a brazed joint if you have to, but why plan on it?) For the typical non-permanent joint, mechanical fastening is usually the most practical method. There's another kind of joint where brazing will likely be your last, rather than your first, consideration. And that is the permanent, but low-strength joint. If you're joining metal assemblies that won't be subjected to much stress or strain, there are frequently more economical ways to join them than by brazing. (Mechanical fastening, for example, or soft soldering or adhesive bonding.) If you are selecting a method to seal the seams of tin cans, there is nothing to stop you from brazing. Yet soft-soldering would be perfectly adequate for this low-stress type of bond. And soft-soldering is generally less expensive than brazing. In these two areas the non- permanent joint and the permanent but low-strength joint other joining methods are adequate for the job and usually more economical than bronzing.
Consider brazing hen you want permanent and strong metal-to-metal joints. Mechanically-fastened joints (threaded, staked, riveted, etc.) generally dont compare to brazed joints in strength, resistance to shock and vibration, or leak-tightness. Adhesive bonding and soldering will give you permanent bonds, but generally neither can offer the strength of a brazed joint strength equal to or greater than that of the base metals themselves. Nor can they, as a rule, produce joints that offer resistance to temperatures above 200°F (93°C). If you want metal joints that are both permanent and strong, it's best to narrow down your consideration to welding and brazing. Welding and brazing both use heat. They both use filler metals. They can both be performed on a production basis. But the resemblance ends there. They work differently, and you need to understand the nature of that difference to know which method to use where.
Welding joins metals by melting and fusing them together, usually with the addition of a welding filler metal. The joints produced are strong, usually as strong as the metals joined or even stronger. In order to fuse the metals, a concentrated heat is applied directly to the joint area. This heat is high temperature. It must be in order to melt the "base" metals (the metals being joined) and the filler metals as well. So welding temperatures start at the melting point of the base metals. Because welding heat is intense, it is impractical to apply it uniformly over a broad area. Welding heat is typically localized, pinpointed heat. This has its advantages. For example, if you want to join two small strips of metal at a single point, an electrical resistance welding setup is very practical.
This is a fast, economical way to make strong, permanent joints by the hundreds and thousands. However, if the joint is linear, rather than pinpointed, problems arise. The localized heat of welding tends to become a disadvantage. For example, suppose you want to butt- weld two pieces of metal start by beveling the edges of the metal pieces to allow room for the welding filler metal. Then weld, first heating one end of the joint area to melting temperature, then slowly traveling the heat along the joint line, depositing filler metal in synchronization with the heat. This is a typical conventional welding operation. Let's look at its characteristics.
It offers one big plus strength. Properly made, the welded joint is at least as strong as the metals joined. But there ore minuses to consider. The joints made at high temperatures, high enough to melt both base metals and filler metal. High temperatures can cause problems, such as possible distortion and warping of the base metals or stresses around the weld area. These dangers are minimal when the metals being joined are thick. But they may become problems when the base metals are thin sections. High temperatures are expensive as well since heat is energy, and energy costs money. The more heat you need to make the joint, the more the joint will cost to produce. Now consider the automated process. What happens when you join not one assembly, but hundreds or thousands of assemblies. Welding, by its nature, presents problems in automation. We know that a resistance weld joint made at a single point is relatively easy to automate. But once the point becomes a line a linear joint the line has to be traced. It's possible to automate this tracing operation, moving the joint line, for example, past a heating station and feeding filler wire automatically from big spools. But this is a complex and exacting setup, warranted only when you have large production runs of identical parts. Of course, welding techniques continually improve. You can weld on a production basis by electron beam, capacitor discharge, friction and other methods. But these sophisticated processes usually call for specialized and expensive equipment and complex, time consuming setups. They're seldom practical for shorter production runs, changes in assembly configuration or in short typical day-to- day metal joining requirements.

The club's director of football says he will not spare any effort into bringing the Brazilian attacker back to his homeland amid interest from rival Santos.Cruzeiro is determined to sign AC Milan forward Robinho from under the nose of their Brazilian rival Santos, according to the club's director of football Alexandre Mattos.
Robinho's agent said on Friday that the Rossoneri's valuation of the player is proving to be a stumbling block for Santos and that has opened the door to a potential swoop from Cruzeiro.
Mattos admits that Santos is the favorite to land the former Real Madrid attacker, but that has not stopped Cruzeiro from expressing a strong interest.
"We had talks about 15 days ago and I made it clear that, for Robinho, Cruzeiro will not spare any effort to sign a big-name player like him," Mattos told Radio Itatiaia. "We want Robinho. Cruzeiro has even talked about values with him.
"He made it clear that Santos are his priority since they sold Neymar. That's what he wants. But I made it clear the doors are open and that Cruzeiro will not spare any effort."

Plugin Review: iZotope Trash 2
Today's audio processors tend to fall into two broad categories: Those that try to recreate the past, and those that tire of it. iZotope's new Trash 2 plugin falls squarely in that second camp.
iZotope released the original Trash plugin in back in 2003, and it was marketed as a multi-band distortion unit.
The new version, nearly 10 years in the making, is less an update, and more a complete overhaul based on that same general theme of complete audio annihilation.
What It Does
Trash 2 is a multi-purpose sonic mangler, comprised of more than a half-dozen individual audio processors.
Rather than mimic a single piece of equipment, this plugin is an entire toolbox that would require at least a 3-foot-high rack of outboard gear if you wanted to even begin to replicate it in the physical world.
It can easily overdrive, pulverize, or otherwise radically re-morph your sounds. But used judiciously, and with help from a master wet/dry control, Trash 2 can also act as a subtle enhancer.
How it Does It
Although it's marketed as sound distortion software, it's hard to say which effect truly lies at the heart of this plugin, since each processing stage is so flexible and fully-realized.
Trash 2 consists of six discrete modules: Distortion (named "Trash"), Impulse Response Filters (called "Convolve"), Delay, Dynamics, and two separate Filters.
They can be placed in any order you desire, and then individually solo'd, muted, or combined.
The "Trash" Module
Trash 2 features more than 60 custom distortion algorithms that mimic everything from tape, tubes and fuzzboxes to AM breakup and the satisfying bit-smashing of a Nintendo Gameboy.
As with each processor that makes up Trash 2, the distortion module is almost endlessly customizable.
It offers the option to click and drag in order to create your own personal non-linearities, or to even assign different types of overdrive to each frequency band.
If you were so inclined, you might give your low end a little bit of subtle tube grit, while your high-end gets some tape-like saturation and your midrange is pulverized into smithereens of granular white noise.
Alternately, you could choose to saturate only a single band, for instance the high-end, effectively turning the Trash section into an aural exciter.
The "Convolve" module
The other uncommon component in Trash 2 is the "Convolve" section. It is a convolution or "impulse response" filter – the very same type of processing employed by many of today's best software reverbs.
In order to lighten the CPU load (and to focus on what Trash does best) this plugin is loaded up with very short impulse responses that radically reshape tone rather than add long reverb tails.
The library comes packed with more than 100 IRs, dominated by things like guitar speakers, snare drums, wooden cabinets, and everyday household objects. There's even a whole section of impulse responses culled from human vowel sounds and animal noises.
Ever wonder what that bass guitar would sound like re-interpreted through the snorts of a pig? Neither have I, but now we can find out.
It's also worth noting that you can load your own samples, or even increase the maximum sample time of this section (provided you're not too worried about CPU load) turning Trash into a convolution reverb unit on steroids.
The "Filter" Modules
Trash has two separate filter modules.
They are identical, and by default they appear both directly before and after the distortion module. Of course, you can move them anywhere in the chain that you like, or even arrange them in parallel rather than in series, if you prefer.
For me, this was among the most powerful and the most fun parts of Trash 2. I'd even say that you could just as easily call this "a filter plugin".
Each of Trash's filters offer six bands. Each of the bands can be assigned a filter curve from a list of more than 20 varieties.
You could, for instance, combine the low-pass filter of a vintage synthesizer with the low-shelf curve of a Pultec, and then add a midrange boost with one of the cleanest-sounding peaking filters you're likely to hear.
The filter types are organized under names like "vintage", "screaming" "clean", and "saturated", not one of which is misleading. There are even a couple of "vocal" filters than can give vowel-like tone and texture to your sounds
Some of these filters are so powerful, colorful, and ready to be pushed that I often found myself using just one or two of them to dramatically reshape tones. But what really impressed me most about this section were the filter modulations. This is where you can create wahs, tremolos and talk-box-like effects using LFOs of a variety of shapes and speeds. The modulations can also sync to the track's dynamics or its tempo, and can even be triggered by a sidechain input.
The Delay Module
The delay module was another of my favorites. It's not quite as full-featured as the other sections, but that's only to say that iZotope stopped short of putting the kitchen sink into this one.
It might be nice to have a delay modulation or panning function built-in, but otherwise, pretty much any feature you'd want out of a good delay is in there.
There are a handful of delay degradation profiles based on things like tape machines, early digital delays, and there's even one that sounds a bit like a Cooper Time Cube – an early analog device that used what was essentially a-garden-hose-in-a-box to delay signal.
They all sound surprisingly good (even when they are pushed to sound "bad") and are endlessly fun to manipulate.
The degradation of each algorithm can be controlled with a separate "trash" fader, and there's control for stereo width as well. The feedback circuit goes well past 100%, leading to instant dub-freakouts when desired.
The Dynamics Module
The multi-band dynamics module has just about everything in it that you could ask for in a basic digital compressor, sounds and works just fine.
For me, it is probably the least inspiring of the six modules. Of course, it is hard to keep pace with the over-the-top allure of all the other sections, each of which can be bogglingly powerful.
What I did like most about the dynamics section of Trash 2 was its fairly novel visual feedback. It shows gain reduction over time, overlaid on top of the waveforms of the source signal.
There's no substitute for mixing with ones ears, but this could be a good learning tool for those learning to listen for the subtleties of different attack and release settings and slopes.
Finally the frequency-sensitive triggering of the dynamics section can come in handy when working with resonant filters, and a nice added touch is that a transparent limiter protects the final output stage. This allows you to crank up the saturation without worrying about unintended overloads or awkward gain-staging.
The GUI
At first, what I liked least about Trash was its spartan and dreary GUI.
But soon into demoing this plugin, I had a complete reversal of opinion, and came to find that the spare visual presentation was actually one of its greatest assets. It's rare to find a plugin that fits in so many features and controls in such a logical and uncluttered way.
Due to the sheer depth and flexibility of the plugin, Trash 2 could easily run the risk of becoming overwhelming. But such care has been put into the layout that this potential risk never emerges as a genuine threat.
It's surprisingly easy to find what you're looking for in Trash and mouse-over text easily explains the few unfamiliar knobs. If you're comfortable with computers and truly understand audio, you will "get" how to use each of the modules in this plugin very quickly.
What seemed like such an uninspiring monochrome at first glance ultimately turned out to be just the thing for such an experimental and tweakable plugin. As you find yourself lost in sounds after many minutes of stimulated tone-bending, the GUI seems to disappear.
On my system, the controls were so seamless and responsive that my cognitive mind was lulled to sleep, and it almost felt like I was able to reach out and sculpt pure, liquid sound. It's a rare feat, but the plugin's layout invites deep listening, even while providing so much visual feedback.
Major Uses
Trash 2 is a very specialized plugin.
Those who would benefit from it the most are likely to fall into one of two categories: Electronic Musicians, for whom this might be a thrilling tool that would find near-constant use, and Sound Designers, who craft new sonic environments and specials effects for film, television and video games.
For the EDM producers, Trash can warp samples, drum machines and synthesizers into molten, pulsating nuggets of hot twisted audio. Alternately, it can usher them into dripping, tripping, dreamlike spaces.
For sound designers, Trash can help sculpt unexpected ambiences and create horrific or sci-fi sound effects. It can also convincingly imitate a variety of phones, speakers and radio effects.
The only plugin to rival (and perhaps surpass) Trash on the latter front is Audioease's Speakerphone, which takes a decidedly more literal and visual approach to replicating real-world devices. But it also costs more than twice as much.
At less than $200 street, Trash 2 may be a no-brainer for many EDM producers and post-production engineers. But creative engineers who work on more conventional recordings may find it valuable as well.
The speaker models in the "convolve" section, when coupled with the distortion algorithms of the "trash" module can make this plugin into a pretty convincing amp simulator.
As much as I've embraced digital, I still love working with real amplifiers, and so this has not been my favorite use of the plugin. I have liked Trash, however, as a distorter and reinforcer of drum breaks, bass-lines, instrumental leads and even vocals.
Patching into a chain of quirky old hardware boxes can be more fun, inspiring, and certainly makes for a better a story. But working with Trash is about as seamless and satisfying as things can get in the digital world.
For producers and engineers who tend to work on more straight-ahead recordings, this is the kind of plugin you might use once on every album, or perhaps once on every song, depending on your taste for experimentation.
For some, that will be satisfying enough to warrant the price of admission. For others it might not. That call is yours. A generous 10-day demo period makes it pretty easy to decide for yourself.
Quibbles and Qualms
Trash allows you to apply automation to any of its hundreds of parameters. It's welcome functionality, but there's one drawback: In my version of PT 10, I was unable to use the normal keyboard shortcuts to simply click the desired control, instantly enabling it for automation.
Instead, the only way to apply automation to the desired control was to go hunting for it in an enormous list of text — easily the largest I've ever seen.
This parameter list offers no search function (at least not in Pro Tools) but its entries are intelligently named and well-organized. This wasn't enough to make that enormous list fun to scroll through, but it did make it possible.
If iZotope were to fix anything in a future update, this should be one of the first places to look.
My only other critique is that the delay module — which I really did enjoy — could be fleshed out just a bit, in order to help it keep pace with the remarkable power of all the other sections. A modulation option would be nice here, as well as complete control over stereo panning and the number of delayed repeats.
Otherwise, the plug-in easily succeeds at what it sets out to do. Whether or not that's appealing to you is a question that can only be answered by demoing the product.
Final Verdict
I like Trash 2.
It is most certainly not a single-function plugin, and stands in stark contrast to all the faithful, one-off emulations of vintage compressors, fuzz boxes and EQs out there.
Of course, there is something to be said for the deliberate and considered approach of auditioning one vintage squeezebox or another and then moving on to the next sound. But there's also something to be said about diving right into a project with an oversized swiss army knife, and seeing what you might come out with. That's what Trash 2 is for.
Auditioning sounds on a plugin like Trash has absolutely nothing in common with debating which vintage of the same Bordeaux wine has a superior "bouquet".
Instead, Trash presents you with clear and dramatic choices: Would you like a bold Cabernet with dinner or a nice light Pinot Grigio? Maybe the answer is "neither", and what would really hit the spot would be a grape soda, a tomato juice, a Belgian ale, a sparkling water, or a Pabst Blue Ribbon.
Or perhaps: a fluorescent lime Hi-C spiked with vodka and red pepper flakes, then lit on fire and hurled at a passing automobile.
Now that's what Trash 2 is all about.

Editor: If you think background checks keep people from buying guns, think again. I saw a semi-automatic pistol for sale at a yard sale in my neighborhood a couple weeks ago, with ammunition. I called the Sheriff's Department who told me that it is legal to sell your weapons at a yard sale. No background check, age check, or any kind of check is necessary, just cash.
Gun control in this country is a joke. Just look at the news feed today (any day in the United States, in fact) and see how many people died from guns, legal or illegal. It is shocking number.
Editor: Re: Recent editorial decision to omit a Doonesbury cartoon: I received a gift of old magazines and was struck by the following quote from one of our greatest Americans reprinted in a 1971 Saturday Evening Post, exactly as follows: "If all Printers were determin'd not to print any thing till they were sure it would offend no body, there would bevery little printed." — Benjamin Franklin, 1731
Editor: Adding to the current cycling discussion I'd note that cyclists in this country don't let pedestrians know they are behind them and getting ready to pass. I walk my dogs on short leashes and we have been nearly run over by cyclists speeding close by us without any warning. Pedestrians don't have rear view mirrors and dogs are unpredictable; even on a short leash they have a 6-8-foot radius of movement.

Hold Me While I'm Naked, 1966, 15 min
George Kuchar
"A very direct and subtle, very sad and funny look at nothing more or less than sexual frustration and aloneness. In its economy and cogency of imaging, HOLD ME surpasses any of Kuchar's previous work. The odd blend of Hollywood glamour and drama with all-too-real life creates and inspires counterpoint of unattainable desire against unbearable actuality." - Ken Kelman
"This film could cheer an arthritic gorilla, and audiences, apparently sensitized by its blithely accurate representation of feelings few among them can have escaped, rise from their general stupor to cheer it back." - James Stoller, The Village Voice
This film is not in competition
Screening of this film is supported by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences

We%26rsquo;ve all had our fun spotting recurring elements in games. So many kidnapped princesses! So many spiky-haired antiheroes! But why the constant repetitions? Are developers that lazy? Or could games, in their transition from high-score one-upmanship to narrative medium, have tapped into the basics of mythic tropes?
Above: The New Storytelling, that is
Not to be confused with its drooling bastard cousin, the cliche, the trope is the DNA of story. There%26rsquo;s a reason that the notion of the hero remains unchanged from the Epic of Gilgamesh to Crude Buster. The fundamentals of legend - as catalogued by scholars like Joseph Campbell and James Frazer - have remained constant for thousands of years, and they%26rsquo;re not going anywhere just because we add QTEs to them.
As we explore the mythological roots of ten of gaming%26rsquo;s most common motifs, one caveat: our aim here is to provide a starting-point. If we tried to give a comprehensive list of every time a game has done anything mythic, you%26rsquo;d be here all day - and sick to death of the words %26ldquo;God of War.%26rdquo;
Sorted? Let%26rsquo;s begin%26hellip;
The Chosen Hero
Only one can save us now, and it%26rsquo;s probably an apathetic smartass.
The world is on a precipice: villagers report monsters in the nearby woods, or research in a top-secret underground lab is about to make a breakthrough, or President Ronnie has been kidnapped by Ninjas. Thrust into the fray is an unlikely saviour: a rough orphan boy, a gawky quantum physicist, or perhaps some Dudes who happen to be Bad, depending on what the situation demands.
- Starts out caring not a whit for their quest, or even opposing it.
- Ends up caring deeply, winning the day, and suffering mightily for the cause.
- Seriously, though: what the hell is with that hair?
Above: Don%26rsquo;t you have, like, a job or something?
Some Examples:
Link (The Legend of Zelda), Alexandra Roivas (Eternal Darkness: Sanity%26rsquo;s Requiem), anyone first seen oversleeping.
Above: Why don%26rsquo;t you just time travel to an era where they have alarm clocks?
Where%26rsquo;s This Come From, Then?
The Chosen Hero is the only one who can pull the sword from the stone: the one mandated by fate to Get It Done. Forebears from myth and legend include everyone from King Arthur or Hercules, all the way to religious heavy-hitters like Jesus or the Buddha.
How Do Games Do It?
Games like Zelda and Secret of Mana %26ndash; which feature literal sword-from-stone scenes%26ndash; are examples of games keenly in tune with the heroic myth. But the Chosen Hero can just as easily be a character like Ninja Gaiden%26rsquo;s Ryu, born into the role of avenger; or even Mario, apparently the only guy in the entire Mushroom Kingdom capable of jumping on a few ornery fungi.
The Mentor
%26ldquo;%26rsquo;Ere, you don%26rsquo;t wanna do it like that, you wanna do it like this!%26rdquo;
Once it%26rsquo;s been determined that stuff needs fixing, the hero will turn to one who knows how to fix it. The Mentor gives the hero skill, knowledge and confidence, and maybe even help in combat. But he%26rsquo;s unlikely to see the final battle %26ndash; due to injury, the ravages of age, or some mightily surprising reversal of allegiances.
Above: SPOILER -we have no idea
- Being stupidly powerful if the game lets them see combat.
- Speaking in ye-olde-selfe-helppe cliches.
- Most likely character to be played by a big-name voice actor.
Above: Let%26rsquo;s see you tell Qui-Gon Jin/Aslan/Taken to piss off
Some Examples:
Theresa (Fable 2), Zhuge Liang (Dynasty Warriors), anyone over 40 not actively sacrificing babies to the enemy.
Where%26rsquo;s This Come From, Then?
In Homer%26rsquo;s Odyssey, the original Mentor both raised the hero%26rsquo;s son and embodied the goddess Athena. Since then, the term has come to denote the wise figure setting heroes on the right path: Merlin, Gandalf and Kipling%26rsquo;s Kaa are some well-known Mentors.
How Do Games Do It?
Above: The hell you say!
While the Mentor features in plenty of games, there%26rsquo;s often confusion as to whether it%26rsquo;s the hero that needs their wisdom, or the player. Many games use the Mentor as a way to shoehorn in all the tedious info that, really, we could have easily figured out (or just found in the manual). Cleverer gaming twists on the Mentor include Viewtiful Joe%26rsquo;s paunchy Captain Blue and Master Chief%26rsquo;s virtual BFF Cortana.

Florida author Jeff Strand is known for his quirky and demented blend of horror and comedy.
Romance, not so much.
At least not until July 1, when Strand unleashed a surprisingly poignant romantic comedy titled 'Kumquat.'
Yes, that hardy fruit native to Asia, which looks like an olive-sized orange, is the title of one of the feel-good novels of 2014.
Strand writing a romantic comedy is not exactly a sign of the Apocalypse.
After all, readers of his Bram Stoker Award-nominated monster bromance 'Dweller' know Strand can write emotionally engaging relationship stories.
But 'Dweller' is about the decades-long friendship between a boy and a sharp-clawed Bigfoot-like creature with scenes of gory death.
'Kumquat' is about two affable strangers who connect at a film festival and find themselves on a zany road trip from Florida to Rhode Island to get a hot dog.
No creatures with sharp claws. No gory death.
'Kumquat' does feature Strand's trademark wicked sense of humor, cutting the story with a sharper edge of reality than many mainstream rom-coms you see at your local Cineplex.
'Kumquat' also features two endearing characters named Todd and Amy. The fact one of them could die at any moment is just a minor obstacle to overcome.
With the release of 'Kumquat' and two young adult comedies, 'A Bad Day for Voodoo' and 'I Have a Bad Feeling About This,' readers may wonder: Is Strand shifting gears?
In an exclusive interview with the Huntsville Books Examiner, Strand answers that question and also discusses romance, the kumquat and addictive TV shows.
EXAMINER: Are you starting a new phase in your writing career?
STRAND: My next books after 'Kumquat' are 'Wolf Hunt 2' and a really deranged horror/comedy called 'Facial,' so it's not a case of 'I'm never looking back!' With the young adult novels, it really was as simple as an editor saying, 'Hey, have you ever thought about writing YA?' The characters are teenagers, and I made my own decision to leave out the sex and cursing (nobody forced me to), but I really think that 'A Bad Day for Voodoo' and 'I Have a Bad Feeling About This' fit right in with the rest of my work. 'Kumquat,' meanwhile, just came from an urge I'd had for quite a while to do a mainstream novel. I don't finish everything I start, and what tends to happen is that the horror/comedy stuff is contracted before it's written, so I HAVE to finish it, while the others get 'temporarily' pushed aside. 'Kumquat' beat the odds and made it to the end. I can't see myself giving up the funny horror stuff, but I really, really enjoyed writing this book and hope it sells well enough to justify doing more in this vein.
EXAMINER: 'Kumquat' is about two people who meet and decide to go on a road trip from Florida to Rhode Island for the sole purpose of eating a hot dog. What have you ever done that rivals their spontaneous trip?
STRAND: I drove from Arizona to Florida to be with the woman who has now been my wife for 17 years. We met at a convention but barely interacted there, so the relationship was almost exclusively online. This was in the mid-90s, long before you could have an online romance and not have it considered freakish. I included this fact in the author bio of my first published story, and my family said that it made me sound like an insane person.
EXAMINER: Todd and Amy have romantic scenes in 'Kumquat,' but their sometimes-awkward behavior or reactions in awkward moments keep the story from entering cheesy rom-com territory. Are relationships more romantic and real to you if you add a certain level of awkwardness to the mix?
STRAND: More romantic? Not necessarily. More real? Definitely. Being able to speak in eloquent, passionate monologues would be a handy tool in life, but I think that most readers can better relate to the occasional verbal gaffe. Todd and Amy are not larger than life romantic figures. Their love will not destroy kingdoms. I wanted to write about two people who have had an immediate and deep connection, but I wanted to leave out the parts where the reader rolls his or her eyes. And I try to do that for the tragic elements, too. In real life, funerals are sad, but there are also moments like being a pallbearer and thinking, 'Wow, this casket is freakin' heavy!' Amy is dying, so there's a cloud of doom over 'Kumquat,' but much of the book is about Todd and Amy being able to forget about this fact for a while.
EXAMINER: You seem surprised by the initial reaction of readers to 'Kumquat.' Many are genuinely moved by Todd and Amy's story, but you initially promoted 'Kumquat' as a wacky comedy.
STRAND: No, no, not surprised ... relieved! The book's poignant elements were all intentional, and I wanted readers to be moved by it ... but it's hard to predict! When I write a book like 'Wolf Hunt' that has lots of action and laughs, I can say pretty confidently that my fan base is going to enjoy it. But then I've got 'Dweller,' which is about a 50-year friendship between a man and a monster that lives in the woods behind his house. Will readers have any emotional investment in that? I put a lot of effort into making it work, but I really didn't know until people started reading the book if I'd succeeded. Twenty-odd books in, it's easy to say 'Kumquat' is a funny, wacky novel without worrying that everybody is going to shout, 'You fool, that book is neither funny nor wacky!' It's much more difficult to say, 'You're going to fall in love with these characters, and you might even cry.' Promotion-wise, I usually try to promise the baseline ('It's funny!') and hope to deliver much more ('It's touching, too!').
EXAMINER: 'Kumquat' is an odd name for a book, but it's an odd fruit, too. How did that fruit become so important that you titled a book after it?
STRAND: I had my first kumquat in January 2013. It was pretty good, although it's weird that you're supposed to eat the peel, too. I didn't think, 'Now I must write a book about this!' I just thought 'Kumquat' would be a funny name for a book, so I used it as the working title, planning to change it later. But then I did a non-scientific Facebook poll and found that most readers loved the title. I'm not saying that there aren't people who go 'Huh? WTF?' but it's a fun word to say, it's thematically relevant, and it's a quirky title that fits the tone of the book.
EXAMINER: The couple in 'Kumquat' share an affinity for a fictional TV show called 'Exit Red.' Do you share a passion for a TV show with anyone on a similar level?
STRAND: 'Exit Red' is a not-to-subtle nod to 'Lost,' but it can represent any serialized program with an intense following. For me, it was 'Breaking Bad.' A predictable answer, I know, but jeez, that show was good. I am a shameless 'Survivor' fanatic who devotes far more thought to which player might get voted out next than to current events. 'Game of Thrones' is incredible. In all three of those cases, my wife is a huge fan, too, which is convenient.

Although you might not be able to go to Marrakesh, we hope that you'll enjoy the Marrakesh Blend, an excellent gourmet coffee blend from CoffeeAM! Enjoy!
Delicately blended, these Arabica coffee beans roast to a medium-dark state in our roastery to produce smoky undertones and a surprisingly spicy bite. With medium brightness and body, Marrakesh Blend is very reminiscent to the spices of the Moroccan market.

More of a dark roast
June 10, 2015
I liked the Marrakesh Blend of dark, oily beans with a heavy aroma, the coffee itself has a mild dark roast aroma and flavor. Decent body too. I just am not into dark roast generally but if this was the only coffee around, I could survive.

I just purchased a 5lb bag of Esresso Gold, a 1 lb bag of all the other espresso blends offered, and added Marrakesh the last minute. I am so happy that I did, and will be purchasing a 5lb bag of this coffee the next time. Marrakesh has a wonderfully rich taste, is very smooth, no matter how dark you make it, and was an immediate hit with my husband and me. Highly recommend.

Superb Sippin'
July 1, 2013
I had a feeling about this coffee after reading about the taste and the reviews. It is just as described - I tasted the rich, smokey flavor. It had a little bite but not bitter at all. It is smooth and delicious. We are very particular about our coffee and finding one that's dark and rich and flavorful, it's at the top of our list along with the Black Satin Sumatra and Espresso Gold.Thanks CoffeeAM for great coffee, excellent service and the nice hat wich my husband promptly appropriated.

Absolutely Wonderful
April 5, 2013
This blend, along with the Organic Gourmet House Blend, are to myself and partner great coffees. It is full-flavored, complex and with just a perfect hint of bitterness (probably depends upon brewing method, because we do french press and single cup pour overs). I've made steam espresso from it as well and found the crema and flavor great too. We love coffee and have had maybe 25-30 different beans from coffeeam - this is abolutely one of the best. For a lighter single origin coffee we love the Organic Bolivia - especially as cold brew. If you like coffee, particularly slightly darker and with some of the origin beans tasting like they're from Ethiopia/Sumatra, you will likely love this blend. As others have noted, Coffeeam is a great company in terms of product and customer service. We buy 5 pound bags and finish them within a month or so. When kept in sealed containers (glass) at room temperature, the beans keep exceptionally well for at least 6 weeks with very little change in character.

Regional knowledge in the related field of laser sources, as well as the presence of universities with physics or engineering departments, is conducive to the emergence of laser systems suppliers. The regional presence of source producers is also positively related to entry into laser systems. One important mechanism behind regional entry is the diversification of upstream laser source producers into the downstream systems market. Entry into the materials processing submarket appears to be unrelated to academic knowledge in the region, but the presence of laser source producers and the regional stock of laser knowledge are still highly predictive in this submarket. jportal_jpjournal_00000016 2010-11-15T07:03:33.315Z 2010-12-17T11:54:29.530Z

Wrong words
Out of confusion
Yeah, I risk losing
The flesh you wear so well
And lost words
Eating away with no patience
Noone mentions
Our hearts like a small machine
And giving
And finding the place where your soul is
It's just that I know this
It's near the wound - it's near the pain
To the warm red water
Making me smaller
And soft as tears - soft as rain
I'm finally on my knees
The stupid pride recedes
Baby, I'm all ears..
I hear every word you're sayin'
Baby, I'm a soft dog at your feet
Wrong turns
Maybe I ordered
But, you followed
Me straight to hell
And wild words
Like I know what I'm doing
Like I know who I'm using
I can never tell..
The kiss of life that I'm giving
I've been afraid for no reason
Again this feels like home
I'm finally ...
Yeah, it's nothing but spoken words
But, it's the words that hurts
And some will never be said again ..
Mistakes, we'll quickly forget it
The one false line, I really regret it
Because the original scratch remains

IAU Astronomy Development Office will be in South Africa
Following the selection of South Africa from 20 other proposals from around the world, an agreement was signed between the IAU and South Africa's National Research Foundation (NRF) on 10 July 2010.
"I am particularly pleased that our Executive Committee chose South Africa and the SAAO," said Professor George Miley, IAU Vice President for Development and Education. "South Africa is a role model for us because it combines world-class astronomical research facilities with a pioneering programme of astronomical outreach."
Dr Ian Corbett, General Secretary of the IAU noted that: "This is the start of something really new and challenging, but also something which should have profound, far-reaching long term consequences for us all and not just for developing countries. It is wonderful that South Africa has joined with the IAU in this endeavour, and has demonstrated the determination and commitment necessary to make this a success."
The SKA South Africa Project will work closely with this new office to use astronomy as a unique and inspirational gateway to build science, engineering and technology capacity in Africa. Kevin Govender of the SAAO, who was instrumental in preparing South Africa's proposal for hosting the IAU Office for Astronomy Development, emphasised that this office would not serve Africa only, but rather all developing regions of the world, but added that "its new home brings prestige to the whole African continent and puts Africa in the driving seat of developing astronomy".
The Office for Astronomy Development will set out to build on the momentum of the IAU-UNESCO International Year of Astronomy 2009, whose activities reached millions of people in 148 countries. Although the focus will be on developing regions, the involvement and participation of all countries around the world will be essential, both to build the field of astronomy and to realise the significant role that astronomy can play in development. Support for the Office comes from the IAU and the South African Department of Science and Technology.

Narber: Previewing & predicting the Sweet 16
Austin Narber
How sweet it is to still be relevant in late March.
Welcome to the Sweet 16. Of course, no game is more important than the first one that tips off in Madison Square Garden on Friday evening but I have previewed the other seven for your reading and viewing pleasure, ranking them in order of quality.
No, Arizona and San Diego State is not going to be eye candy of any kind, but you should watch it anyway. To the games...
1. (3) Iowa State vs. (7) Connecticut | Friday, 6:27 p.m. | My pick: Iowa State, 75-72
As incredible as this season has been for ISU, there's no need to complain about what's fair and what's not. But the fact that this game is a stone's throw from Storrs is just a tad bit sucky. Still, this is a matchup that bodes well for the Cyclones, with or without Georges Niang. UConn has four guys who get regular minutes that are taller anyone on the court for ISU, yet they still don't rebound particularly well. Pulling a raw seven-footer in Amida Brimah away from the basket often and containing Shabazz Napier will be the two biggest keys in this one. Capitalize on that, control the glass and Iowa State should have one more game in MSG.
2. (2) Michigan vs. (11) Tennessee | Friday, 6:15 p.m. | My pick: Tennessee, 71-68
This is a Volunteer team that scored 59 and 49 points in two SEC Tournament games yet is averaging 82 thus far in the NCAA Tournament. Michigan does not win games defensively nor will they beat you up in the interior -- neither quality being particularly conducive to handling this Tennessee team. They are scorching, much like the VCU team that carved up everyone in its path en route to the Final Four as one of the "last four in" in 2011. In the end this will come down to Michigan's finesse vs. the Vols' physicality, and I tend to lean toward the latter. You won't find a much better matchup Friday than Jordan McRea vs. Nik Stauskas.
3. (2) Wisconsin vs. (6) Baylor | Thursday, 6:47 p.m. | My pick: Wisconsin, 71-67
Take absolutely nothing away from what Scott Drew and the Bears have accomplished in the tournament thus far -- it's tough find a hotter team anywhere. But they have faced both a maligned Nebraska offense and an invisible Creighton defense up to this point. The Badgers are a far more balanced squad with an entire lineup of guys that can beat you from any spot on the floor, from Frank Kaminsky down to Traevon Jackson. What I think will ultimately hurt Baylor is their inability to defend the 3-point shot (243rd nationally), and Wisconsin is hitting 10 of them a game in postseason play.
4. (1) Virginia vs. (4) Michigan State | Friday, 8:57 p.m. | My pick: Michigan State, 65-61
I don't remember the last time we saw a 1-seed as much of a perceived underdog as Virginia is in this game. If you've heard it once, you've heard it a thousand times: Michigan State is finally healthy and clicking at the right time. The individual matchups in this game are phenomenal, but Sparty's team defense will be the key. At 347th nationally in tempo and 20th in offensive efficiency, UVA basically plays a chess match in their half court sets -- and they're good at it. Tom Izzo has never gone without taking group of four-year players to the Final Four, and I don't see that trend being bucked this year with Adreian Payne and Keith Appling.
5. (4) Louisville vs. (8) Kentucky | Friday, 8:45 p.m. | My pick: Louisville, 72-67
The selection committee knew what it was doing. Throw Wichita State in the "Midwest" to make them feel good, load it up with both teams from last year's title game and make them play Kentucky in the Round of 32. You saw this coming. Pitino vs. Calipari. Red vs. Blue. "Right way" vs. "wrong way," if you so choose. Simply, Louisville's ability to force turnovers, defend the perimeter (2nd nationally in both departments) and their experience should be enough to control this game. The Cardinals have lost once since January.
6. (1) Florida vs. (4) UCLA | Thursday, 8:45 p.m. | My pick: Florida, 74-68
Florida is putting teams away at an alarming rate, now boasting a 28-game winning streak (and 33 of their last 34). Incredible. Nothing is more critical than the Gators defense in this one. At 20.2 seconds per, Florida forces the second-longest possessions in the entire country, rendering opponents ineffective in the half court. UCLA doesn't shoot a ton of threes so if they fail to get penetration (a likely fate facing Patric Young) and settle for perimeter looks, expect the Gators to notch another sub-65-point defensive performance, something they've accomplished in nine straight games.
7. (10) Stanford vs. (11) Dayton | Thursday, 7:15 p.m. | My pick: Stanford, 75-69
I thought I would have a chance to be in Palo Alto for tipoff of this game (which would be pure insanity), but my flight lands later than I thought. As far as what's important here: Stanford and Dayton are actually alike in a ton of ways. The Flyers will have the edge offensively and should get a lot of production from their bench, but neither team will blow you away in any statistical category. I'm slightly more impressed with Stanford's ability to handle physical New Mexico and Kansas teams than I am with Dayton's wins over a couple under-acheivers in Ohio State and Syracuse -- still spectacular in its own right. Chasson Randle and Dwight Powell is the most underrated 1-2 punch left in this tournament.
8. (1) Arizona vs. (4) San Diego State | Thursday, 9:17 p.m. | My pick: Arizona, 64-57
It's hard to get excited for this one. These two met back in November (a nine-point win for Arizona) and was actually SDSU's lone blemish until the month of February. What you get in a matchup like this is 40 minutes of guys punching each other in the mouth and eating up 20+ seconds of the play clock every time down the floor. Arizona has a massive advantage on the interior and Steve Fisher's guys don't shoot threes, so I don't foresee any way the Aztecs remain in this game offensively. This should set up an Elite Eight date with Wisconsin where the Badgers pose a completely opposite complication for Arizona.
