Art and architecture
Take a native Hellenistic civilisation; add a touch of Roman civilisation, a hint of the Slavic, a generous helping of Byzantine art, and sprinkle with Eastern traditions introduced by the Bulgarians; leave to marinate for about five centuries under the lid of the Ottomans, stirring from time to time… And, hey presto, an astonishing stew of subtle flavours, further enriched by a dash of modernity: this is the remarkable melting pot of influences that gave Bulgarian art its originality.

First traces and Antiquity
A calendar and a Nécropolis
The country's numerous caves were revealed to contain many engravings and rock paintings, which are proof of human presence. Without a doubt, the most astonishing of these caves are at Magura (near Belogradčik), where a lunar calendar is depicted, evidence of unexpected astronomical knowledge…
But it is the civilisation of the chalcolithic that disclosed the most amazing surprises, with the chance discovery of the Varna Necropolis (5th millenium BC), with its golden parures, which are the pride and joy of the local archaeological museum. Almost three hundred tombs containing thousands of objects, weapons and finely worked gold jewellery, weighing in at several dozen kilos of precious metal, mean that we are in the company of Europe's most ancient civilisation!
The thracian footprint
Where do the Thracians start and end? They are generally considered to have appeared during the Bronze Age (3100-1200 BC). It is thought they disappeared in the era that saw the arrival of the Slavs (6C), meaning that this Hellenistic-type civilisation, for a long time little known, had time to evolve and to be impregnated with various influences, Greek and Roman in particular.
Exhumed necropolises, isolated burial mounds, cities and sanctuaries have gradually brought to light fabulous treasures allowing archaeologists to get to know this people, their rites and how they lived, and to reveal the Thracians' mastery of sculpture, painting, architecture and goldwork.
One of the emblematic vestiges is the famous tomb of Kazanlăk , whose mural paintings are without a doubt the most accomplished of the pictorial art of the Thracians… while awaiting to be able to visit (perhaps imminently) the tomb discovered at Aleksandrovo , near Haskovo. Other notable vestiges that should be mentioned are the sacred city of Perperikon (on the headlands of the Rhodopes), avatar of the famous Oracle of Delphi, the neighbouring site of Tatul, dedicated to Orpheus, and Starosel Sanctuary , near Hisarja, not forgetting the Necropolis of Sveštari , near Isperih, with its breathtaking sculptures to rival the greatest successes of Ancient Egyptian art.
But what strikes visitors above all are the treasures in the numerous museums: on the top rung there features the extraordinary treasure of Panagjurište (at the National History Museum of Bojana, near Sofia) , the treasure of Vălčitrăn with its gold objects with geometric decoration (Sofia Archaeological Museum) and the treasure of Borovo (exhibited at Ruse) .
The Romans
Masters of the territory that is today Bulgaria from the 1C-3C, the Romans developed here in the provinces of Thrace and Moesia, as they did elsewhere, the road network and built or enlarged the cities: Trimontium (Plovdiv), Serdica (Sofia), Augusta Trajana (Stara Zagora), Apollonia (Sozopol), Nikopolis ad Istrum etc.
Among the monuments of Classic Antiquity that have survived until our day, the Roman Theatre and Stadium of Plovdiv , the Walls of Hisarja and the Baths of Varna are the most spectacular. During Roman occupation, Thracian and Hellenistic traditions were perpetuated, with a local artistic production that, up until the 2C-3C, favoured the Thracian theme of the "horseman hero" as well as local divinities that the Romans adopted and assimilated, as was their habit.
The birth of Christian Art
The late-Roman Empire (with the transfer of the capital of Rome to Constantinople) presided over the appearance of the first Christian art . This was the era of the great early Christian basilicas, superb examples of which have survived in Bulgaria: the basilica or ancient metropolis of Nesebăr , Ste Sophie Church and the Rotunda of Sofia , more or less reworked, are arguably the most prestigious examples of this 4C-6C art. However, the more humble buildings that miraculously resisted the tumult of Bulgarian history should not be forgotten, for example " the Red Church " of Peruštica (between Plovdiv and Velingrad, on the first headlands of Rhodope), with its multifoil layout and ambulatories.
The illustrations of paradise (Sofia Necropolis) call to mind the early Christian cycles of the Roman catacombes. Similarly, paintings and mosaics from Peruštica show the pagan imagery of the burial places in Alexandria.
From one Empire to another (8C-14C)
The arrival of the Bulgarians of Khan Asparuh (679) signified the introduction of Asian influences. The fortified capital, Pliska (8C-9 C), may have been built by Arab architects, whom we know were active at the court of Khan Krum. The famous Madara Horseman glorifying the feats of a 9C khan is reminiscent of Persian rock sculptures.
In the 10C and 11C, with the conversion to Christianity of the Empire desired by Prince Boris I and the construction of its new capital, Preslav, there appeared a first artistic amalgamation of these Eastern influences and native Byzantine and Slavic tradition . Mixing Eastern and Western traditions, the art can be seen in the construction of churches (the new capital's round church), the decorative sculpture with splendid geometric motifs, and, in particular, painted ceramics , the most renowned example of which is the famous icon of St Theodor (9C-10C) comprising 21 ceramic panels, which is exhibited at Preslav Museum. Finally, a few frescoes have been preserved until today, such as those at Bačkovo ossuary (1083), or the most ancient layers of paint at St George of Sofia Rotunda, and in Bojana Church. As for goldwork it is represented by pectoral crosses, reliquaries and, above all, the treasure of Preslav, a superb collection of jewellery probably dating from the late 10C.
The late 12C saw the birth of the Second Bulgarian Empire, and the rise of Tărnovo, which became a rival of Byzantium. From an architectural point of view, this period of splendour saw the construction of a significant number of churches : you will see a good number in Nesebăr; the church of the monastery of Zemen (near Sofia) and St Nicolas of Sapareva Banja church are superb examples of this Romanesque-Byzantine art. Monasteries were built following the model of fortresses, holding chapels, hospice, cellars, cells behind their walls. As in civil architecture, palaeolith is used on the ground floor, while the upper floors are made of brick or wood. Military architecture is represented by fortresses : Vidin, Belogradčik, Asenovgrad and Carevec Citadel at Tărnovo are the most spectacular examples.
The Second Empire was the backdrop for the development and height of mural painting , always suffused with the Byzantine style, but whose themes are eminently Bulgarian. Among the greatest accomplishments are the frescoes to be found at Zemen Monastery (executed with archaic techniques), St Sauveur Church at Nesebăr, St Peter and St Paul Church in Tărnovo and, finally, those in Bojana, which foreshadow Giotto! The mural paintings of the cave monasteries of Ivanovo and Aladža should also be mentioned.
Miniature and illuminated manuscript art (essentially copies of the four Gospels) developed in monasteries and its heyday came under the influence of the Tărnovo literary school.
Despite the arrival of the Turks (1385), this Bulgarian art, which has been termed post-Byzantine, was perpetuated for some time in the frescoes of Boboševo (1488), Dragalevci (1497), and Poganovo (1500).
The Ottoman Era
During the long Ottoman occupation, Christian art became almost clandestine, while Bulgarian culture took refuge in out-of-the-way monasteries. Although the construction of Orthodox churches was sometimes tolerated, the edifices had to comply with specific orders. For example, the building had to be partly buried so that it did not stand taller than a Turkish soldier on horseback!
Gradually, from the 16C, icon painting replaced monumental painting, which led to the development of iconostases : simple, sparsely decorated partitions separating the altar from the nave. They became more and more complex with the addition of intricate wooden carving.
Gold masterpieces, reliquaries and artophorions (church-shaped boxes containing the blessed bread) continued to be produced, in particular in the northwest of the country (Čiprovci).
The successes of Ottoman architecture should also be mentioned: Eastern-style mosques and buildings sprung up all over the country. The most important mosques that have been preserved can been seen at Šumen (Tombul Mosque, 1744), Plovdiv (Imaret Mosques, 1454 and Džumaja, 16C), Razgrad (Ahmed Bey Mosque, 1442), Jambol, Kjustendil and Sofia (Banja Baši Mosque, 1576, built by Sinan). Examples of civil architecture are the bridges of Svilengrad and Nevestino, some bazaars (the Jambol bezisten ), baths (Nesebăr) and konak , fortified military posts.
The era of National Awakening
The 18C saw the emergence of a social class of Bulgarian tradesmen and craftsmen who had made money thanks to the market that the Ottoman Empire had opened up to them. In addition to playing a role in honing people's consciousness of the idea of nation, these "nouveaux riches" laid the way for the renaissance of Bulgarian art by playing a role of patrons or simply by having sumptuous homes built. Remaining examples of these superb ensembles can be seen at Koprivštica, Plovdiv, Trjavna, Arbanasi, Melnik and many other places. The materials used were lime, stone and wood, grand oval reception rooms were embellished with sculpted ceilings and painted decorations covered the walls of the rooms. The most accomplished type is known as "Plovdiv Baroque" with façades decorated in the alafranga style . Meanwhile, monastic architecture was resurfacing and the monasteries of Rila and Trojan (to name but two) came to look as they do today.
To meet the demand, "art schools" sprung up, bringing together painters, sculptors and master builders: the Trjavna School is famous for its wood sculptors, but also for its zographs (icon painters), who developed a style that became manneristic to the point of blandness. The school is distinguished most notably by Kolju Vitanov and Dimităr Ošaneca ; the Bansko School by the Molerov family, whose name comes from a distortion of the German word maler (painter). Toma Višanov and Dimităr Molerov are the most renowned representatives. Members of the Samokov School , founded by Hristo Dimitrov , included the two sons of the founder, Dimităr Zograf and Zahari Zograf , as well as the son of Dimităr, Stanislav Dospevski (1823-1873).
It was Zahari Zograf (1810-1853) who gave religious painting a new lease of life by introducing a previously unseen realism in the rendering of characters, landscapes and themes. His works, icons and frescoes can be seen in a number of monasteries, in Bačkovo, Trojan, at the Monastery of the Transfiguration near Veliko Tărnovo, in Rila… The verve not devoid of severity with which the artist (who used to leave one of his self-portraits in the places where he was working) enjoyed censuring his contemporaries in his vigorous Last Judgments is still entertaining.
Few master builders are recognised as being the author of any particular work. The (notable) exception is Nikola Fičev, known as Kolju Fičeto , from Drjanovo (1800-1881). This self-taught craftsman, known as usta (master) by the Ottomans, constructed numerous buildings (churches, monasteries, residences, bridges) at Veliko Tărnovo and around.
Birth of secular painting
Czech national Ivan Mărkvička (1856-1938) trained in Prague and Munich before settling in Bulgaria. The importance of this Academic painter (even Pompier) is mainly due to his position as director of Sofia's Fine Arts Academy, where his influence on his students was such that he is considered the father of modern painting in Bulgaria.
This developed from portraiture, where Georgi Dančov (1846-1908) excelled, preceding the appearance of a landscape school, where some artists started to affirm a personal style: Atanas Mihov (1880-1975) is the representative of this almost ethnographic search for realism often coloured by a certain idyllic pastoralism, as found in the work of Ivan Angelov (1864-1924).
The main trends of European art were thus found in Bulgaria: Impressionism, with Nikola Petrov (1881-1916), Ceno Todorov (1877-1953) and Nikola Tanev (1890-1962), who worked in Paris and met Claude Monet at Giverny; Expressionism, with Sirak Skitnik (1883-1943) and especially Dečko Uzunov (1877-1953); Symbolism, with Goška Dacov (1885-1912); and the Cubism of Kiril Čonev (1886-1961) in the 1920s.
Julius Pinkas, better known as Jules Pascin (1885-1930), deserves a special mention, as a representative of Expressionism, and a colourful figure of Bohemian Montparnasse, as does Georgi Papazov ( Georges Papazoff, 1894-1972), an eminent member of the Surrealist group from 1925 and who lived and died in Vence (France).
During this time an original artist emerged in the form of Vladimir Dimitrov Majstora ( The Master , 1882-1960). Considered one of the greatest Bulgarian painters of the 20C, he was one of the few to have been the subject of retrospectives abroad (Musée d'Art moderne de la Ville de Paris, 1973). On the themes of rural life, he took inspiration from popular art in highly stylised portraits, which he painted in pale tones with brightly coloured backgrounds. Canko Lavrenov (1896-1978) can be situated at the same level. Inspired by medieval iconography, he painted canvases evoking monuments that are representative of national culture in bright, even garish, colours. After initially being influenced by the paintings of the Dutch Golden Age, Zlatju Bojadžiev (1903-1976), the so-called "one-armed painter", changed his style and tackled scenes of peasant life that are full of freedom and humour.
Other names that deserve to be mentioned are David Perec (1906-1982), who moved from a very violent Expressionism to Abstraction; Ivan Nenov (1902-1997), who synthesised form and colour; Benčo Obreškov (1899-1970) and Vasil Barakov (1902-1991).
The two big names of the following generation are Svetlin Rusev (born in 1933) with his original style that has been called "Transrealism": today he is acknowledged as a great master, as is Dimităr Kazakov-Neron (1933-1992), whose nickname, the "Bulgarian Chagall", does not do him full justice. His square canvases – the expression of his highly personal experimentation with form, colour and materials – can be seen in Trjavna, where the artist has "staged" a collection representing his work. The original style of Dimităr Kirov (1935), member of the "Plovdiv Circle", should also be mentioned.
Among the youngest artists is Nikola Manev (1940), who is well known in the West and displays a style akin to Abstraction, inspired by urban architecture and stony landscapes. He opened a gallery in his hometown, Čirpan, near Plovdiv. Also prominent are the Abstract artist Genko Genkov (1923), Luben Dimanov , who illustrated Dante's Inferno , Emil Stojčev (1935), Dimităr Bujuklijski (1943), Hristo Nikolov (1945), and Jordan Kalčev (1955).
The big name in modern sculpture – too long condemned to monumental academicism – is without doubt Angel Spasov (1884-1974). Mara Georgieva (1905-1988), and, closer to home, Georgi Čapkărov , Ivan Slavov and Janko Nenov have also proven their considerable talent. Boyan , resident in France, Krum Damianov (1937) and Emil Popov (1951) remain the most original characters.
In the early years of independence, urban architecture (Sofia, Ruse, Varna) was influenced by the historicist and eclectic styles that were in vogue in Central Europe. Indeed, most of the Crown's official architects came from Vienna, for instance, Friedrich Grünanger (1856-1929).
Under Communism, a dominant theme was the Stalinist taste for the monumental, as is perceptible in Sofia's official buildings in particular, and in the grandiloquent monuments scattered about towns and villages. The model town of Dimitrovgrad (between Stara Zagora and Haskovo) is an example that reflects the "neo-Classical Stalinist" style, all the less elegant for the refurbishment it is undergoing after lying redundant for many years. But above all this period is responsible for an urbanistic disaster, which had towns organised according to the identical model of an immense central square surrounded by official buildings. Happily, the Bulgarian taste for greenery breaks up to some extent this ugly uniformity.

A sign of a good movie is if you find yourself talking about it well after it has ended. If it can inspire a debate, that's even better. The new Mark Wahlberg movie, "Lone Survivor", which opens today, January 10 in South Florida, should certainly get people chatting about its message.
The movie is based on a true story about a small group of Navy SEALs who go on a special mission in Afghanistan to take out a Taliban leader. Before they get to complete it, the mission gets compromised when they capture a small family of goat herders that share a village with the enemy. Not wanting to become murderers, they let the family go, only to find the Taliban hot on their trail.
The obvious debate "Lone Survivor" brings up is did the SEALs make the right decision? The easy answer is "no" given the results of that decision. The SEALs had three options before them, let them go and risk having the Taliban quickly hunt them down, leave them tied up, giving the SEALs plenty of time to put some distance between them and the Taliban, but the family could die from that decision, and finally eliminate the problem by murdering the family. To continue the debate along, option B would make the most sense. It's understandable why they did not want to assassinate the family and it is commendable too. However, the result of just letting them go appeared obvious. If you leave them tied up is it not debatable that members of the village would go looking for them? Let the debate rage on.
As far as being a war movie, "Lone Survivor" is one of the more tense and realistic ones to come along in a long while. At times it is almost painful to watch and the movie is not for the faint of heart. Director Peter Berg made some risky decision in telling this story and they pay off. One is showing the SEALs point-of-view of what they see when they are in a gun fight. They see everything through their scopes and those are the kill shots we see. It's powerful, but pretty scary too. In some war movies we see our heroes turns around and shoot their machine guns while the bad guys all fall down while our guys don't end up with even a scratch. Not to spoil anything, but that is not how things are portrayed in this movie.
The one drawback to "Lone Survivor" is the amount of time the audience has to wait around for things to get moving. It is understandable that the filmmakers want the audience to get to know the characters so they care about them and to show how these soldiers live by a certain credo and see one another as brothers. Still, there is a fine line about making that point and driving it into the ground.
A movie like "Lone Survivor" is not for everyone, but those who do see it will likely appreciate what they see. The discussions that come out of this movie could be endless. Do you murder an innocent family in cold blood and soon find yourself the part of a news story reporting how Navy SEALs are killing innocent people or do the opposite where you become the victims and your story ends up being made into a movie? Neither option is very appealing.

Floyd told the media that he doesn't expect the Sept. 17 fight to go the distance. (Hogan)
Floyd Mayweather was his usual self on a media conference call on Wednesday afternoon. He was at times humble, at times less than so, and tossed his share of stiff shots at Victor Ortiz, Oscar De La Hoya and Manny Pacquiao.
Mayweather got on the line, and thanked the media, HBO, his staff, all the sponsors, Schaefer ("They call it Golden Boy Promotions but I prefer to call it Richard Schaefer Promotions"), Al Haymon, Kelly Swanson, and Leonard Ellerbe. "Come September 17 I want to come out there and put on another pleasing performance," he said.
He was asked what he saw when he was watching Victor Ortiz-Andre Berto in April. He said he didn't have a plan to watch the fight, but was at 50 Cent's house in CT, and they ended up hitting the bout. When he left, he said he thought it would be exciting if they fought. He said he spoke to Victor after he fought Juan Manuel Marquez, and was impressed with his humility.
He was then asked if he wanted a KO. He explained that fighters go into survival mode most of the time. Hatton came to fight, he said, and that's why that fight was different.
Mayweather was asked if getting engaged has changed him. He said it's great to have a strong person behind you, and "we live and we learn..rich or poor..she's very important in my life."
He said his long layoff shouldn't hurt him, because he keeps his weight down, under 150, during his downtime. "I don't overindulge myself with eating," he said. He also plays hoops to stay sharp. He said that it takes six months to build a big fight. He said he hasn't felt ring rust personally.
Another writer said that many don't appreciate Floyd's talent and wondered if he cares. He said reporters keep him striving, and implied it doesn't seem to bother him.
Floyd was then asked his fights with Genaro Hernandez, Chico Corrales and Ricky Hatton. he said he beat the last two when they were at the top of their games, and that he does think about them as human beings.
Floyd averages slightly above 1.5 million buys per PPV appearance. Promoter Richard Schaefer hinted that he thinks this fight might break the PPV record, 2.4 million buys for Mayweather-De La Hoya. The promoter said HBO will run a show after the last 24/7, with reports from Las Vegas, to stir up interest that much more. He also said Floyd fights, and coverage from Vegas, will be featured on HBO Zone before the big fight. "It is without a doubt the most heavily promoted boxing event we have put on," Schaefer said.
I then asked Floyd if age has gotten to him, because I have to figure the only way Ortiz beats him is if Floyd looks 34 on Sept. 17. "It happens to the best of us," I said. He said he hasn't noticed any drop off. "I still feel strong once I get started in the gym," he said. This is because he hasn't been in toe to toe wars, and that keeps him fresh. Sometimes he dawdles getting to the gym, he said, but once he gets there, he often doesn't want to leave.
I then asked about Manny Pacquiao and Freddie Roach's belief that Floyd is prepping for Manny, because he's fighting a fellow lefty in Victor Ortiz. Mayweather said that he is mystified because Team Pacquiao has a case of defamation against Mayeather pending. "I prefer to hold court in the squared circle," he said. He stuck to his call for Pacquiao to adhere to an ultra-strict testing regimen, to make sure he isn't using illegal supplements. He wonders, he says, why Pacquiao continues to mention his name and said it's to bolster his cred, and make more money. He took shots at Manny for fighting his "leftovers," like Hatton, and Mosley. He also said he wondered why Manny doesn't get more heat for moving from 106 to 147, and retaining power, saying that if he made a similar leap, the outcry would be loud. "Everyone I face has to take the test," he said, making clear that he isn't just dodging Pacquiao, that his stubbornness in the realm of drug testing is based on principle. "If you're the best, take the test," he said.
Sparring with Sechew Powell, Kassim Ouma and DeAndre Latimore, Mayweather said, has him in fine form.
What about a fight with Amir Khan? He said Khan would have to beat Jessie Vargas first for that to happen.
Mayweather was asked what advice he'd give himself to fight himself. "That's a good question. I don't know."
Is he invincible? "Anything can happen any given Saturday," he said.
How does he concentrate on fighting when so many distractions pop up? "Life is ups and downs," he said. He said his ex who accused him of assault probably wants more child support, and besides, if she was truly beaten, why haven't photos been produced.
So, are people out to get him?
He then cited a disgruntled employee, a "former drug dealer, a confidential informant," who Floyd let go. The ex employee then contributed to an accusation that Mayweather was involved in a shooting. He said he doesn't let the outside stuff coming in to the ring with him.
Floyd said he had an extra long camp just to insure he'll be ready to rock against a fresh, young hitter.
"He's looking for the knockout and he's looking for the knockout, so I can guarantee it won't go the distance," Mayweather said. "Right from the gate I'll be aggressive..For this fight, I'm coming straight ahead."
He smacked at Ortiz for saying he idolizes Oscar De la Hoya, who has dressed in drag and abused substances, he said. "Boxing is not dead but it is dead when the guy who paved the way is downplaying his own fighters," he said of Oscar, who bolstered Ortiz on the last 24/7 by knocking down some past Mayweather foes, and then again complimented Schaefer. He did say Ortiz will be "tough competition" and called him "strong. I truly believe he will be at his best and fight hard."
He said that he likes to trash talk to entertain the fans and doesn't really have anything against the people he fights. If he was boring on 24/7, he said, then people wouldn't tune in. 24/7s without him, he has heard, he said, are boring without him.
Regarding his legacy, he said he makes good fighters look ordinary. Yes, he makes it look easy, and avoids punishment, but that shouldn't detract from his legacy.
Floyd apologized for Ortiz, for dissing the media on his conference call last week. He said he was a vet, and understands how hard the hype is, and Ortiz doesn't.
CEO of Mayweather Promotions Leonard Ellerbe said they've had a great training camp, "probably our best so far." He said Floyd was able to give back during camp, reminding us he Skyped with the troops in Afghanistan last Friday. He told them about how he lives, and the "wonderful things," like "the cars," Ellerbe said. Over 18,000 people tuned in to Ustream to watch Floyd work out on Tuesday, Ellerbe said.

if floyd mayweather would be humble and entertaining, not a narcissistic disrespectful unfunny punk then he would not only be liked, but also more entertaining...
so lets get this straight, during his skype to "give back" to the troops who are sitting in a 120 degree desert with bullets flying over their heads, bombs landing beside them, while watching their friends die around them to protect this country for 40 thousand a year....
floyd showed off his 40 million dollar mansion, all of his luxurious cars and even pulled out thousand of dollars from his pockets to show them when they asked why he fights????
as they fight for peanuts, for pride, for safety, to protect us in this county...
this is why no one can stand floyd the person, he just doesnt get it....
karma will catch up to him
Man enough with all this, 10 days left to see what it do and what the business is. Dueces
signs of narcissistic behavior lol... what i remember, it was him coming out of retirement, rode with the pacquiao's challenge as pac rise to fame, first picking marquez for a warm up, its a no-brainer floyd was using pac to earn more money! a lousy liar floyd surely is. lol
WOW! Nashingun, you are straight rhetorically whuppin' Money May's arse. Hehehehehe! Anyway, for the record, Tommy Hearns went from 147lbs to 195lbs in the pros and didn't lose his punching power. Back in the day, Jimmy Ellis went from 155lbs to 200lbs and didn't lose his punching power. Money May needs to shut his arse up, because he came from 16-years old and 106lbs to 147lbs just as Da Manny did. The Mandingo Warrior James Kirkland came from 16-years old and 106lbs to 154lbs and hasn't lost any of his power. Some humans can do some weird jive to da know nothings. Know nothings believe all type of balderdash syet coming from Fam May. Ditto Real Talk! Can these suckas just fight and STFU! Holla!
Mayweather about beat the truth out of this lying ass dude.....all the Mayweather haters will give him no credit for beating a young lion but who the hell cares.....Yes /Mayweather the best/ and Pac is next/ as long as he takes the test/ ha ha...one
Hey ali! What's up my man! It's been awhile.
Well, concerning the Mayweather-Ortiz fight, and this article, I'm very happy and excited as hell to see Floyd coming back against the complete opposite to which he has been criticized since 2009: a young tiger, strong, in his [or getting to] prime, World Champion, and just after beating Andre Berto, then unbeaten Champion.......... and at 147lbs, not one of those stupid "catchweights". Of course the negativity and the criticism for him will continue, no matter what. I agree with you on that ali.
And about the Pacquiao case [that unfortunately is still alive] then there's no other option for Floyd at this pint: he's going to have to beat the pinoy in the ring, the way he knows since he was thowing punches in his crib and door knobs. He's gonna have to get an official W over Pacquiao in his resumé to finally silence the loud PacLand.
No matter how many times Juan Manuel Marquez outboxes him, no matter how many wrong decisions, no matter how many leftovers he fights, no matter how many old, over-the-hill boxeers he beat, and no matter how strong the visual evidence about subtance misusing, a Floyd win over him is the only way. And the media has been trying to get the fight done for the longest, praising the other guy so badly to put pressure on Floyd. Of course, boxing's toughest mindset [Floyd's], do not succumbs to pressure and to manipulation, at least not that easy.
But the time is finally arriving. If no surprise of illegal practices to enhance performance in the ring arises with full clear evidences, and if it stays just a rumor, then the fight is about to get made. Victor Ortiz is just the right dude for a 1 and 1/2 year comback. Then, I'll give........repeat the easy prediction for that fight [Sorry, I kept you waiting last time Mort!]
Welcome back Floyd!
Just passing by saying hello to brownsugar, ali, mortcola, ultimoshogun, Real Talk, Frank Z, donputo69, and Fe'ROZ [The only Pacfan from back in the days that I respect].
Welcome back Salt it's been a long time....great comments....... I think Victor has a chance if Floyd is no longer Floyd... hard to tell exactly where he's at as far as fight shape... his team says what's expected. But we won't know till fight night... but if the real Floyd shows up... he wins a very hard fought battle that shakes up the boxing world.
Ditto that brownsugar! Good to seeing you, man!
What's good salt lover.....At the end of the day Mayweather is a hall of famer without Pac...But a victory over Pac would put the finishing touch on a great career...Even the Mayweather haters would have to finally give him credit and and say he is the best fighter of our generation. Thanks for the love homie hope u can get around to posting more on TSS.
Danggit! I bet the Money May's fanfaronades wish that they are in the right locales to get free tickets to the [largely free] Big Screen viewing of the Sonny -- I mean Money -- arse thrashing. None of Money May's psy-ops or black arts are going to work on Vicious Victor O. Wow! He just may "SHOCK da WORLD!" Shake dat muthasucka straight up, like GOAT Ali did way, way back in da day when nobody was thinkin' about most of our arses.
I'm with deepwater. Buy GOLD! Maybe it is a message in Money May burning dat Benjamin [a $100 bill] a while back. That could be symbolic of the Money May END! He should just go ahead and accept the bad decision that he may get and RETIRE. But I doubt if he will. His career may just end with several losses as his uncles careers did. I'm just saying he ain't no GOLD May. Holla!
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

Does anybody know if it is possible to to add Internet explorer to run as a windows XP mode application under windows 7? I have one web application that I need to use for work that only works in IE7 or earlier (does not work in IE 8's compatibility mode either).
Currently I have been going into the windows XP virtual machine and running IE7 right from there, but I am trying to figure out how to add it as a shortcut under Windows XP Mode Applications like the other software i have installed on the XP virtual machine.

Isla Fisher wore a sexy strapless Matthew Williamson Pre-Fall 2009 dress, with a graphic multi-coloured print, and beaded detailing around the waist and pockets.
She wore her dress with mint green peep-toe heels, and large statement earrings.
The dress is very similar in style, to the Spring 2009 peachy dress which model Anja Rubik wore.
I do like Claire Danes' Zac Posen Pre-Fall 2009 spaghetti strapped printed dress, with a fringed hem, but her hair and the make-up, really let her down.
Her pretty face is lost under a such a bad hairstyle. I'm not sure what happened with the make-up, but she has had much better days on the red carpet.
Krysten Ritter opted for a purple bubble hem, and pleated cap sleeved Sonia by Sonia Rykiel mini dress.
Leslie Bibb shimmered in a silver 3/4 length sleeved dress, with matching pumps.
Who knew writers were so fashion forward. Some how I can't see JK Rowling wearing this.
Sophie Kinsella – who's books you must have read – arrived wearing a black and white stripped Alexander McQueen column dress, with padded angular shoulders.
She completed her look with a red and black Union Jack McQueen clutch and black peep-toes.
Wendie Malick bravely opted for a very masculine 3 piece suit. Too masculine.

Blogging in B.A. – My IntroductionBuenos Aires, Fall 2010
Last Spring, when I applied for this particular IES program in Buenos Aires, there were a number of factors that led to my decision. First and foremost, I wanted to learn Spanish. Four years of Spanish courses in high school and two semesters in college left me with about as much proficiency as a Latin American 3-year-old. It was important to me that I studied abroad somewhere that I would be fully immersed in the language, and forced to practice it on a daily basis, as opposed to doing enough to pass a course. Second, I wanted to travel to South America. Most of my friends at my university go to Europe if they choose to study abroad, and I wanted to have a different experience. There were also the pressures of my life as a student in D.C. that I needed a break from: working two jobs, classes, and my obligations to different organizations on campus. But after living here for almost a month, I realize that there was one obscure yet pervasive force that motivated my decision: ignorance. I'll admit it, my perception of this city (and country for that matter) beforehand was completely off-target from what I see and experience from day to day here. I ultimately chose this location because I expected something totally different...initially. And I know that I am not alone. When the average American thinks about South America, they undoubtedly have a blanket perception of the continent - demographics, weather, food, and culture in general. While I did conduct research on my own beforehand, part of me still allowed these overriding generalizations to cloud my perspective to the point that I really didn't believe what I was reading in my own research! I remember telling myself, 'I bet it's not really like that,' or 'it's South America, there has to be _____ or ______'. Call it the journalistic impulse in me, but I was bound and determined to find out for myself. And thanks to this blogging opportunity granted to me by IES, you will be finding out along with me! In addition to documenting my experiences within the IES program specifically, I will also try to shed some light on misconceptions and rumors about this city that I can address firsthand; in particular, culture and environment. I hope you'll enjoy!

There are big differences between the light sport airplane models. Not many are really fast - but the RV-3 is. It will easily top 200 miles per hour on 150 horsepower. Even on smaller engines it will cruise at three miles a minute. But speed is only part of the equation. The first thing that starts the RV Grin is the takeoff roll and climb. It doesn't take long to get airborne!
Also, the climb rate is exhilarating. In the air, the RV-3 is a joy. The controls are smooth, powerful, and almost perfectly harmonized. Sport aerobatics are delightful. Flying an airplane that handles this precisely and easily is a new experience for pilots used to flying production airplanes – and even to some used to flying fighters…
Easy landings are straight forward. Simple hinged flaps, an effective wing, and excellent low speed handling let the RV-3 land at almost any airport, and the rugged steel rod landing gear can handle a variety of surfaces; dirt, gravel, grass or pavement. Many RV-3 owners keep their airplanes on private strips at home - some of them as short as 700 feet!
The airplane was designed as a sport airplane, but the RV-3 has proven a capable cross-country traveler too. The fuel capacity allows practical distances, the cockpit is big enough for pilots up to about 6' 3", and there is enough baggage space to carry a reasonable amount of "stuff." The speed, climb rate and STOL performance all enhance the cross-country ability, too. Headwinds don't hurt as much, there's no more grinding around in circles trying to get high enough to get out of mountain valleys, and almost any flat spot can serve as an emergency landing strip.

I am a runner. I mostly run just for my personal health and pleasure, but I've run in quite a few races. I've even run a marathon and numerous half marathons. I've learned, however, that distance is relative. If a 5K is your milestone, that's a long race. I have a friend who runs the 100 mile races. Crazy.
One thing I've learned, however, is that, if you're pushing yourself, at some point along the race, you'll struggle. It will go from being "fun" to being a challenge. I've also discovered that without those stretching moments, there wouldn't be near as much thrill of crossing the finish line.
Here's something else I've observed. There's a common language among those struggling the most.
Run any distance race and you'll hear the frustration out loud.
I've heard things like:
- I can't do this.
- This is harder than I thought.
- I'm not a runner.
- Why did I sign up for this?
- This is crazy.
- I'm never doing another one of these.
- I'm in pain.
But, I've never met a runner, who crossed the finish line, who didn't receive the thrill of victory…even if it was only after they threw up in the trashcan nearby.
The completion of a dream…a goal…a challenge…feels great after the finish line.
Are you ready to give up the dream?
Don't quit too soon. You don't want to miss what's next!

Well, it worked for Beyonce, and now British rock group Coldplay has released a new song without any hinting or warning whatsoever. Last night, the long wait many fans had been enduring was over as a new song entitled "Midnight" was released on the band's YouTube channel at, you guessed it, midnight (Mongolian time). The new song has a bit of a different sound to it, leaning more towards the indie/alternative genre with the likes of Bon Iver rather than their more edgy rock v"ibe their other records have had. Their most "recent" album, Mylo Xylo, was released over three years ago, featuring hits like Every Teardrop is A Waterfall" and "Paradise." This new single doesn't seem to have the usual positive feeling that emanates from their earlier records, and it's leaving some fans a little disheartened.
Fan's responses have been mixed so far in the hours after release. Some praise the group for switching it up and going in a darker, more emotional direction while others, who have been waiting for new music from the band for years, are disappointed that their sound has changed so much from their previous record. Take a listen for yourself above and leave your response in the comments below!

Community Participatory Action Research Network
Project Profile
Participatory Research to Support Farmer Livelihoods and Ecosystem Services Conservation in the Pico Duarte Coffee Region of the Dominican Republic
Academic PartnerLee Gross
M.S. Student
Rubenstein School of Environment & Natural Resources
Gund Institute for Ecological Economics
University of Vermont
Primarily funded by the Conservation and Research Foundation, Shelburne, VT
Community Partner
Coffee farmer households, Pico Duarte Region, Dominican Republic
La Asociación de Caficultores Jarabacoa (ASCAJA)
Research Objective(s)
- Document and analyze the livelihood strategies of small to medium-sized coffee farmers in the region.
- Engage in a participatory process with local farmers to examine existing organizational models in order to better support farmers' identified needs.
- Analyze the relationship between ecosystem services conservation and farmer livelihoods.
Research Process
This yearlong project utilized an interdisciplinary research
framework to better understand the interactions between social and
ecological processes that contribute to the livelihoods of coffee
farmer households of the Pico Duarte region.
The study used a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, which seeks to directly improve the livelihoods and agricultural management of rural communities. This approach integrated the goals of the local farmers association, University researchers and a Vermont company purchasing coffee from the area.
Baseline information, collected through participatory community focus groups, household interviews, and ecological sampling, characterized the coffee farms and is necessary to better understand livelihood strategies, vulnerability, and perceived needs in relation to agroecological management. The focus groups facilitated shared decision making and were key in identifying these community needs and goals.
Results and Impact on Community
This project provided technical support for the coffee producers,
helped them improve the organization of their coffee association, and
established baseline information on social and ecological variables to
be used in long term monitoring. It also connected a Vermont coffee
company with the farmers, enabling them to generate new markets for
their products, increase their income and diversify their livelihoods
through access to price premiums for bird-friendly, shade and organic
The partnership secured long-term commitment to the communities, by way of a formal memorandum of understanding between Farm Alta Gracia and the University of Vermont, for research and technical assistance in agricultural and educational exchange projects. In addition, it informed international donor and multi-lateral agencies on development investment decisions to support small to medium size producers and will produce peer-reviewed publications on Dominican coffee farmer livelihoods and ecosystem services conservation.

Recent Research Developments

Pollution and public health concerns make particulate emission from diesel engines a topic of great concern. The Environmental Protection Agency is set to introduce strict new regulations on diesel particle emissions, and a number of other countries are also considering regulatory action. A great deal of research effort is therefore being devoted to reducing the amount of particulate matter produced by diesel engines.
A team of researchers from the University of Minnesota, led by Chemistry professor Jeff Roberts and Mechanical Engineering professors Michael Zachariah and David Kittelson, has developed a new method to study surface oxidation rates of size-selected diesel soot nano-aerosol particles. Working with post-doctoral associate Kelly Higgins and graduate student Heejung Jung, Profs. Roberts, Zachariah, and Kittelson have built an apparatus capable of creating monodisperse streams of diesel particles suspended in air. The particle streams are sent through a high temperature furnace, and the size changes that result from oxidation are measured with a device called a differential mobility analyzer. Between 500 and 1000 °C, the oxidation kinetics are well modeled by a single Arrhenius expression, with an activation energy of ca. 110 kJ⋅mol-1. The activation energy is nearly 55 kJ⋅mol-1 lower than for flame soot (Higgins et al J. Phys. Chem. A 2002, 106, 96.), but the preexponential factors are also lower, by three orders of magnitude. The Minnesota team speculates that the origin of this behavior is in a surface catalytic effect, possibily derived from a small amounts of alkali or alkali earth metals known to be entrained in diesel soot particles.
A description of some of this work has been accepted for publication in Environmental Science and Technology
Figure 1 Representative data for the oxidation of 130 nm diesel soot particles. Each scan shows the size distributions of a particle stream after it leaves the furnace as a function of the furnace temperature. The most probably particle diameter (measured as Dp, the mobility diameter) decreases with increasing furnace temperature because the oxidation rate increases.

When Rachel and Jonathan met at graduate school at the University of Minnesota, they quickly became best friends—giving each other relationship advice, going on double dates, even spending Thanksgiving together with her family in New York. "Nobody actually thought I was 'just a friend,' " says Jonathan. Except perhaps for the couple themselves.
It wasn't until the second year of grad school that they started developing feelings for each other. When they did start dating, it didn't take long for things to get serious. They spent a semester abroad in Europe studying landscape architecture together, starting their trip in Paris and ending in Tuscany. Though they'd only been dating five months, something clicked. "At the end of the trip, for me it just made sense to propose," says Jonathan.
The pair returned from Europe engaged and jumped right into planning a joint project: a July 4 engagement party, complete with DIY decorations, flowers, and music from local acts such as Jack Klatt and the Cat Swingers. (Jonathan, who plays in the local band Communist Daughter, is infamous for throwing elaborate parties, so they had a reputation to uphold.) "It was a really, really big party with fireworks and tacos and live music, and that set the scene for what we wanted our wedding to be like," says Rachel. "It was like a mini wedding. We wanted that same feeling but more elegant."
The couple still had grad school to finish and jobs to find, so it would be another two years before their actual wedding. That gave the two designers plenty of time to create their perfect event.
First up: the setting. Jonathan grew up on a farm in South Dakota, and Rachel's grandmother has a farm in Mankato, so an outdoor farm wedding seemed fitting. They chose Windbeam Farm in Hager City, Wisconsin, where guests could choose to camp for the entire weekend. It was the perfect setting for a low-key, do-it-yourself wedding.
The pair worked closely together on the vision—from designing their invites to designing their ceremony—though they also divided and conquered some tasks. "He kind of took over the musical part and I did a lot of the craft part," says Rachel. The décor helped create a playful, rustic vibe: Colorful farm-fresh flowers rested in milk cans and Mason jars, table numbers included drawings by the couple's nieces and nephews, and a homemade wood sign encouraged guests to "Dance Yer Butt Off!!!" Rachel spent hours on craft projects like the escort cards, which she hung from an old weathered door with twine and mini clothespins, while Jonathan was up at 6 the morning of the wedding to assemble flowers with his mother. "It was a lot of work, but we really embraced it," says Jonathan. "The way we looked at it was that it was a big deal, and we wanted to invite everybody we knew, and we made it as big a deal as we possibly could and put on the best party we could."
To accomplish that, they whole-heartedly enlisted the help of their community. Jonathan's Communist Daughter bandmates played during the ceremony and cocktail hour, and his former co-workers at Café Levain prepared a Tuscan-inspired meal, which was served family-style out of mismatched bowls brought by guests. The homemade sangria featured wine from Jonathan's parents' winery, while the beer was from a friend's start-up brewery. Even dessert was DIY: The couple put a callout to guests to bring homemade pies and ended up with 35. "It was nice to have that support," says Rachel. "The wedding definitely felt like us, but it also felt so supported by everyone; it felt very inclusive and loving."
With the wedding behind them, Rachel and Jonathan still have plenty of joint projects to work on. They teach two classes together at the U of M. They carpool to work at their landscape architecture firms a few blocks from each other. And in August they're anticipating their biggest joint project yet: a baby boy.

Just wondering how long I can make a player play through the pain for without any ill effects? Got my young striker to take an injection as I only had one fit striker for a cup final, then got him to take another as the league entered the play off phase and my other striker was knackered. He has a twisted ankle btw but there are only 5 more games till the end of the season over a course of three weeks.

NERIMA, Roman
Passed away peacefully at Toronto General Hospital on Friday, February 10, 2006 at the age of 77. Roman will be dearly missed by his sister Sloka, his wife Nidia Arevalo NERIMA, her son Matias Javier VALDEZ and her daughter Lia Guadalupe VALDEZ; Roman's grandchildren Christopher, Vanessa, Ryan and Natalie; his daughter-in-law Renee and all of his dearest Friends, Ina and Lazlo, Ruth, Brigitte and Paul, Larry and June, Skip and Carol, Dr. KASINIK, Rocco and Emanuel, Capt. Phil and Ushi. Forgive me if I missed anyone. Roman had so many Friends that this notice would be too small to list them all. Roman was a man who gave far more of himself to help others than anyone I know… he was always "there." He excelled in his profession as a dental technologist, having owned his own dental lab. He was a simple man who valued his Friends above anything. His strength and character made Roman the unique person he was. Golfing was a passion for Roman throughout his life - not for the enjoyment of playing the game but for the companionship of his Friends. Roman showed me how to be strong, especially towards the end of his life. He fought his illness with unbelievable strength and dignity. Roman will always remain a hero who showed us all how to live and die with courage. And I love him and will miss him… his son Tristan. Roman wished to be cremated. A private gathering will be held on Sunday, February 19th.

Police lay drunk-driving charge as mother killed while jogging
A Family Shattered Forever
By Oliver MOORE and Nicole O'REILLY, with a report from Christie BLATCHFORD, Page A1
A mother of four young children was run down and killed while jogging near her Richmond Hill home in an incident police are blaming on drunk driving.
Terri CALLAWAY was out for her usual evening run through the subdivisions near Lake Wilcox on Tuesday when a speeding station wagon jumped the curb and struck her, police say.
The vehicle was travelling well over the speed limit when it hit Ms. CALLAWAY, York Regional Police Constable Michael KASSAY said. She died at the scene and a man was arrested shortly after.
Ms. CALLAWAY's husband, Gareth, said at the family home last night that the driver was "not worth wasting any emotion on." He added that he'd given a picture of their children to the police, asking that they pass it to the driver. "In certain respects, it would be nice if he lived to be 95 and woke up every morning and gets to see the photograph," he said in an interview.
After striking the 37-year-old woman, the vehicle smashed into a parked car and toppled a concrete light pole. Shattered glass was strewn around the scene yesterday and tire skid marks stretched across one of the lawns.
The case, Ontario Provincial Police Commissioner Julian Fantino said last night, "so vivid and so tragic," perfectly illustrates that "whether at the end of a gun or the hood of a car, the end result" is often the same.
"It's a calculated decision to drink or use drugs and drive," he told The Globe and Mail in a telephone interview, "as much as putting a gun on your belt and going to shoot someone, but this is something we have absolute control over. We can't blame anybody, we can't pass off the responsibility. We choose to do it. And we have to choose to get serious about stopping it."
According to people living nearby, the man arrested after the crash lived only half a kilometre away.
Ms. CALLAWAY was on the sidewalk when she was hit, running her normal route at approximately 8: 45 at night. She was gone longer than usual but her husband hadn't begun to worry, not even when he saw flashing lights from his backyard. Curious, he eventually asked a neighbour to watch his children so he could find out what was happening.
He was kept away from the scene by police, who, after learning his identity, asked him about his wife's appearance and the clothing she had been wearing. Only then did he begin to realize the seriousness of the situation.
People on Ms. CALLAWAY's street near Yonge Street and Bloomington Road described it as a recently built but tightly knit subdivision.
The couple moved into the area when it was built, roughly five or six years ago. Their children -- nine-year-old Dylan, Rachel, who turns 8 next week, six-year-old Matthew and three-year-old Ethan -- were active in sports.
Agidia LANZOLLA, who lives across the street from the family, said that the news had flown around the neighbourhood, and that residents are still in shock.
"They're very nice people, they're lovely. I just couldn't believe it," she said. "I'm a walker, not a jogger, but I do that route every morning. She was doing the same route that I was doing. This morning, I was going to go out and I said, 'Forget it.'"
News of her death also raced around the Southern Ontario running community, with some noting angrily that joggers are not safe even if they stay off the roads.
A few blocks away from the CALLAWAY's home, people living near the crash site described finding a harrowing scene Tuesday evening.
"My husband went over and it was horrible, she was still breathing but it was shallow, then she died," said Linda SANTIA, who lives across the street.
The crash noise shook the neighbourhood, she said. Her 35-year-old son ran outside to find a male driver standing dazed next to a car with blood on his hands and face.
"We thought he was shocked… he sat outside our house on our bench," she said, adding that her son remembered the man from high school and knew he still lived nearby.
Police arrested Matthew JUNKERT at the scene. The 33-year-old remained in custody overnight and appeared in a Newmarket court yesterday on charges of drunk driving causing death and criminal negligence causing death.
His court appearance came the same day the Ontario Provincial Police officially launched their five-week Festive Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere (R.I.D.E.) campaign.
Drunk driving is the leading criminal cause of death in Canada. When Commissioner Fantino was sworn in last month, he identified it as a priority. The Ontario Provincial Police laid 390,000 charges under the Highway Traffic Act last year, including nearly 11,000 for impaired driving.
Yesterday, Commissioner Fantino said that, in a world where so much is beyond the control of the ordinary citizen, he is bewildered that people are still reluctant to exercise control over their own conduct where and when they can. "These are decisions people make," he said. "They decide to drink or take drugs and drive, and very often, we let them -- Friends and family."
He said the time is right for society to get serious about it. "We've done a good job with domestic violence and gun violence, but we have to pay equal attention to what's happening on our roads and to the innocent people who are cut down on them."

text: Look just like Tim Burton's lovable character when you wear the Edward Scissorhands Costume for Men. This Halloween costume includes a jacket with metallic studs and rings, a wide attached belt, gloves with attached artificial scissors, and a long, curly black wig. Pants are not included, but any pair of black pants will match. The outfit will comfortably fit most men with chest size up to 46 and waist size up to 40, and requires no additional accessories to look just like the original. Edward Scissorhands is a classic romantic fantasy film that starred Johnny Depp as an unfinished artificial man with scissors for hands, and was as heart-warming as it was creepy. This costume is also creepy enough for Halloween without being too scary or graphic to be worn around kids. Impress Edward Scissorhands fans with its authentic details.

Nice people, wrong room
I booked late.
I needed to be central. I booked a single room. At least one of those was a mistake. The room was tiny and not a delight to be in. The curtains at the tiny window were hanging off the track by about four hooks. To be fair the check in guy had told me the room would be small, and it was clean - it's probably fair value for as close as it is to Oxford St - but I think there's better value to be had for 10-20 mins' traveling. Looking at the room chart I think I got the worst room in the house - which was at least 50% my own fault so I cannot condemn the hotel - but I'd suggest being very clear about expectations if staying here.

Harlem (Dream Deferred)
by Langston Hughes
Harlem (Dream Deferred) Theme of Dreams, Hopes, and Plans
Dreams are awesome things, and we can chat about them until the cows come home. But are dreams really dreams if they are never pursued? In "Harlem," the speaker discusses the darker underbelly of poems; that is, he wonders what happens when dreams are ignored or "deferred." The result is not too pretty.
Questions About Dreams, Hopes, and Plans
- Dreams come in all shapes and sizes. What kind of dreams do you think our speaker is thinking about?
- What does it mean to defer a dream?
- Our speaker offers several possible answers to his first question. Which of these answers do you think he believes in most?
- Why does our speaker choose the word "deferred" over words like "ignored," "postponed," or "forgotten?"
Chew on This
Dreams explode if they are deferred.
