ST LOUIS (LALATE) – Maria Bartiromo left CNBC tonight leaving viewers shocked. What happened to Maria Bartiromo, why is Maria Bartiromo leaving CNBC, and what is Maria's next project? At the tail end of the CNBC midday broadcast today November 22, 2013, Maria told viewers that she was excited for a new opportunity and a new project. But she left viewers guessing, telling them to watch her Twitter page for updates. News reports earlier this week however claim that Maria Bartiromo's new home is Fox Business Channel and Fox News.
So why did Maria Bartiromo leave CNBC for Fox News? A series of unconfirmed reports today claim that Maria left CNBC for multiple reasons including pay, programming slot, and reach. Maria Bartiromo allegedly had approached NBC with a desire to have a Sunday program block like Meet the Press to get a bigger reach of viewers. That offer was allegedly rejected. But FOX Business Channel allegedly provided that offer to Maria on Sunday's on Fox News.
The deal with Fox has reportedly not been inked. And Maria's contract expires with CNBC on November 24. Sources tell Business Insider that Fox's offer is five to six million dollars per year compared to four million dollars allegedly currently paid at CNBC.

Ever since we read Tom Robbins' Jitterbug Perfume, we've been curious about the perfume industry. We can't really say we possess any special olfactory powers, but we're slowly learning how to distinguish notes in our own perfumes. We just finished reading The Emperor of Scent: A True Story of Perfume and Obsession ($10) by Chandler Burr. Burr has a chance meeting with Dr. Luca Turin, one of perfume's most talented biophysicists, and decides to dig deep into the world of scent. It sounds a bit dull on the surface, but it's a fascinating read depicting a whole world full of powerful people and companies, deception, and secrecy. It had us captured from the very first page.
I read that book around 10 years ago!!! Amazing!!!

A Failed Celebr-Ambassador Returns to Washington
by Michelle Malkin
Creators Syndicate
Copyright 2013
Welcome to another installment of No Obama Bundler Left Behind. This chapter stars an elite Hollywood fundraiser who scored a plum diplomatic appointment, slacked off on the job and left her public office in disgrace, and then rebounded from failure as a new Obamacare promoter. Nice crony "work" if you can get it.
This failed celebr-ambassador is Nicole Avant. Her father, Clarence Avant, is a prominent Democratic activist and music executive. Her husband, Ted Sarandos, is the chief content officer at Netflix. Her godfather is music legend Quincy Jones. On Monday, Avant turned up at an Obama administration confab with pop stars (Jennifer Hudson, Jason Derulo), comedy stars (Amy Poehler, Kal Penn, Aisha Tyler) and other assorted Beautiful People (public relations teams for Oprah Winfrey and Alicia Keys). The liberal glam squad members all have agreed to spread Obamacare propaganda to the masses.
Avant, billed as an "Obama administration veteran" by The Hollywood Reporter, represented "industry" at the Ministry of Health Care Misinformation meeting this week. The Wrap, another Hollywood gossip outlet, describes Avant as having been "tasked with helping boost Obama's relationship with Hollywood."
But what exactly has this "veteran" accomplished? What are her qualifications? How has she used taxpayer dollars, and what exactly is her "industry"?
By all appearances, the industry of Nicole Avant is Nicole Avant. The Beverly Hills socialite and "power player" has appeared in highbrow magazines like "Uptown" with glossy photo spreads of her 1-percenter mansion — designed, we must all be made aware, by Max Azria. Avant's personal website describes her as a "businesswoman," but her biography mentions no actual business. Instead, Avant exults from a privileged 90210 childhood attending "elite soirees, charitable events and political fundraisers."
Avant's official biography includes the following anecdote: "One time, when I was in grade school, I told my teacher that Gov. Jerry Brown of California had been over. She responded in disbelief, asking, 'What was the governor doing at your house?' Avant replied, 'Just talking with my dad.'"
And that brings us to Avant's "qualifications." As a member of Obama's 2008 Los Angeles fundraising team, Avant used her family connections to help drum up some $21 million in campaign cash. She and her husband drummed up at least $500,000 for the Obama campaign during the last election cycle. First lady Michelle Obama recently gushed that Avant was a "dear friend" and "pretty phenomenal woman."
Money can buy love. And ambassadorships. In the fall of 2009, Avant was appointed ambassador to the Bahamas. The State Department inspector general, alas, didn't have the same warm, tingly feelings for Avant that the Obamas do. The IG's scathing report blasted her jet-setting tenure, which the watchdog described as "an extended period of dysfunctional leadership and mismanagement." Avant, true to the Obama way, blamed problems "inherited" from the previous administration.
But Avant, and Avant alone, was responsible for her chronic absenteeism. She was gone from the office 276 days between September 2009 and November 2011. The IG concluded bluntly: "Her extensive travel out of country and preference to work from the ambassador's residence for a significant portion of the workday contributed to a perception of indifference.

Alternate headline: Entertainer will not perform in any state that has laws like the one that had nothing to do with the outcome of the George Zimmerman trial.
From the Hollywood Reporter:
In the wake of the George Zimmerman acquittal, the singer said he would not be performing in the Sunshine State until its Stand Your Ground law is "abolished." He also said he would not be performing in any other state that recognizes the law, which some say contributed to Zimmerman's acquittal in the shooting death of Florida teen Trayvon Martin on Feb. 26, 2012.
"I decided today that until the Stand Your Ground law is abolished in Florida, I will never perform there again," Wonder said Sunday while performing in Quebec City. "As a matter of fact, wherever I find that law exists, I will not perform in that state or in that part of the world."
The stupid thing about this is that Zimmerman's defense didn't invoke the stand your ground law — that's a silly superstition (sorry) — and the existence of stand your ground is not why Zimmerman was acquitted. The defense argued, and the jury concluded, that Zimmerman was pinned on the ground and therefore had no ground to stand (no other possible retreat), which negated stand your ground as a defense option. The conclusion was pure self-defense.
In any case, if Wonder stays true to his work, there are a lot of states he'll be overjoyed (really sorry) to boycott:
Wonder's pledge to avoid performing in the above highlighted states has been signed, sealed, and delivered (last one, promise).
Part of what makes Gore's rages against the machine such clown shows is that to establish any level of credibility Al must first get the audience to forget that he is the machine.
From The Hollywood Reporter:
Al Gore, one of Hollywood's favorite sons because of his commitment to the environment, rocked a large crowd in Beverly Hills on Tuesday with an impassioned plea to solve the "climate change crisis," part of which is getting media right.
Gore lamented that a modern-day Thomas Paine would not be able to get his "Common Sense" message to the masses today because he couldn't afford TV airtime, and he criticized the "rise of television at the expense of the printing press."
But he was most animated, his voice pitching higher and lower and the volume steadily increasing, when he spoke of global warming.
"This is for real. It is not made up. The scientists are not in a conspiracy to lie to us," Gore nearly shouted.
Gore then pledged to keep yelling until the temperature starts to go up again.
The Goracle also commented about former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor recently saying she regretted her decision on Bush v. Gore. What Gore wouldn't say is that O'Connor's "regret" wasn't that she ruled against Gore's appeal of the Florida Supreme Court's decision, but that O'Connor now believes that in hindsight the U.S. Supreme Court should have refused to hear the appeal in the first place. Either way, Gore would still be on the outside looking in.
Frustrated that President Obama and Congress are currently focusing most of their attention (and our money) on other things while his "clean energy" stock portfolio takes a hit (dramatization of Al's message to DC Dems here), the Goracle is again turning to Hollywood.
Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter about 75 guests including Lawrence Bender, Leonard Nimoy and Lynn Lear gathered to hear Gore's impassioned plea for the entertainment industry to renew its focus on climate change.
While in town, Gore also lunched with An Inconvenient Truth director Davis Guggenheim.
At a dinner for the Children's Defense Fund, the documentarian bemoaned global warming slipping off the public agenda.
"Do you think it still matters to people?" he wondered.
The short version of that is, "Will one of you please make a sequel to The Day After Tomorrow?"
Actually, if Gore was serious about getting Hollywood on board to help curb climate change, he'd demand that they shut down production on everything.

In a Hollywood Reporter news story by Tim Goodwin on Monday night, readers were told about the two motion pictures that depict the hunt and killing of radical-Islamist icon Osama bin Laden by President Barack Obama and members of the U.S. Navy SEAL Team Six being released. Goodwin mentions Katherine Bigalow's big screen release Zero Dark Thirty, which will be released after election day, and the National Geographic cable-TV channel's SEAL Team Six: The Raid on Osama bin Laden scheduled to air at 8 p.m. on Sunday, two days before Election Day.
The NatGeo film comes from The Weinstein Company, a big contributor to the Obama campaign, and is directed by John Stockwell (Into the Blue, Turistas, Crazy/Beautiful) and produced by Nicolas Chartier, who was a producer on The Hurt Locker, Bigelow's best picture Oscar winner.
The problem for both movie production companies is that their films are based on mendacious claims by a questionable President, according to several knowledgeable sources.
For example, in an exclusive interview with the Law Enforcement Examiner on Oct. 14, 2012, a former high-ranking Army officer and television news military analyst said that the Barack Obama telling of the Osama bin Laden killing is full of falsehoods and discrepancies geared towards helping to re-elect a failed president.
Maj. Gen. Paul E. Vallely (U.S. Army-Ret.), chairman of the non-profit, non-partisan Stand Up America, told the Examiner that his organization's research team, led by Scott Winchell, learned that President Barack Obama, contrary to news media tales, wasn't even aware of the raid in Abbottabad, Pakistan, by Navy SEAL Team Six to either capture or kill al-Qaeda's iconic leader Osama Bin Laden on May 1st, 2011. In fact, according to Gen. Vallely and Winchell, Obama found out about the commencement of the operation after the helicopters with SEAL Team Six had crossed into Pakistani airspace.
The SUA analysts allege that the most sophisticated deception techniques were used to make this very dangerous penetration into Pakistan without Pakistan knowledge.
"The President was notified at the golf course and called off the golf course which is why he was sitting in the strange sitting position in the picture that documented the White House operation room event," said Gen. Vallely, speaking to Law Enforcement Examiner via telephone.
According to Vallely, Winchell and the SUA analysts, Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) Leon Panetta was "the key player who organized and supported this daring raid."
The SUA report credits Panetta with signing the order for the SEAL Team to go into Pakistan with only a few people aware: Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, Secretary of Defense William Gates, Admiral Bill Mullen and General David Petraeus.
"The White House was closed out of the decision because the President through Valerie Jarrett had turned down two or three other earlier proposals," the SUA report alleges. "The Deputy of Central Intelligence (DCI) and his covert planning team were extremely frustrated at all the denials, so saw the opportunity slipping away as implausible as it seems."
Leon Panetta was driven to ensure a successful mission after losing seven CIA officers on Jan. 4, 2010, in Afghanistan when a Jordanian double agent killed the officers.
"Panetta convinced his other principals to make the decision that was actually within his authority.

In defense of Brad Pitt's mom
by Michelle Malkin
Creators Syndicate
Copyright 2012
Hollywood and the American left love diversity, except when it offends their "progressive" value system.
Witness the reaction to actor Brad Pitt's mother, Jane, who publicly opposed President Obama's re-election. Mrs. Pitt's pro-life, anti-gay marriage statement to her local paper last week enflamed the Tolerance Mob. And her mere expression of dissident political views exposed the glittering hypocrisy of the left-wing "No H8″ campaign.
In a letter to the editor for Missouri's Springfield News-Leader, Mrs. Pitt responded to another reader who argued that Christians should not support Mitt Romney because of his Mormon faith. Arguing for interfaith tolerance, she praised Romney's "high morals" and "business experience." The celebrity mom urged "prayerful consideration" from fellow Christians before voting for Obama — "a man," she pointed out, "who sat in Jeremiah Wright's church for years, did not hold a public ceremony to mark the National Day of Prayer, and is a liberal who supports the killing of unborn babies and same-sex marriage."
Self-appointed Tinseltown anti-bigotry cops blew their tops. The Hollywood Reporter labeled Mrs. Pitt's letter "anti-gay." Gossip website Global Grind, founded by rap mogul Russell Simmons, called her "homophobic." Perez Hilton, an L.A.-based gossip website operator and hanger-on to the stars who fronts the "No H8″ gay-marriage movement in California, pounced on Mrs. Pitt as "mommy dearest."
Hilton angrily scrawled across a photo of Mrs. Pitt with her son: "A vote for Romney is a vote for God." After taking obligatory potshots at Christians, Hilton, who calls himself the "queen of all media," fumed: "Ugh! How can one woman birth such a beautiful boy, but have such unattractive views???"
You want ugly? Hilton knows ugly. He's the same trash-mouth blogger and former beauty pageant judge who attacked Miss USA contestant Carrie Prejean with misogynistic profanities in 2009 because she said she opposed legalizing gay marriage at the federal level in favor of states' rights to put the question up for a vote. "She lost not because she doesn't believe in gay marriage," Hilton railed. "She lost because she's a dumb bitch!"
You want ugly? When word of Mrs. Pitt's letter spread on social media late last week, Twitter lit up with a stream of death threats, smears and slurs. My Twitter curation site, Twitchy.com, compiled just some of the vile bile aimed at Mrs. Pitt for supporting traditional values and standing up for the unborn:
"Brad Pitt's mom, die"
"F*** you, Brad Pitt's mom. The gay community made your kid a star, you whacko."
"Brad Pitt's mother…what a brainless old b***h…"
"Brad Pitt's Mom Slams Obama, Gays. That stand makes her a deluded, dumba** Fascist Repuke"
"I hope Brad Pitt has been supporting his mother and decides to cut her off. What a b***h."
"Brad Pitt's mom can choke on a (redacted)."
The usual civility police were in their usual place when the No H8 bullies mauled Mrs. Pitt: nowhere to be found. Brad Pitt also has been silent so far. His brother, Doug, did try, if a bit too meekly, to defend his mom on Monday in an interview with NBC's "Today" show:
"You know, I think moms and dads and kids agree to disagree all over the world. So why would our family be any different?" he said.

Obama's Swiss Cheese Campaign
by Michelle Malkin
Creators SyndicateCopyright 2012
What's pale yellow, riddled with holes and not very sharp? President Barack Obama's renewed class-warfare attack on GOP opponent Mitt Romney.
To kick off the Independence Day holiday, America's fundraiser-in-chief took to Twitter to stoke wealth-bashing resentment against Republicans. "FACT," Obama's official Twitter account declared, "In 2010, Romney reported having a $3 million Swiss bank account." Obama for America campaign manager Jim Messina piled on, urging "every reporter covering Romney" to read left-wing Vanity Fair's new report on his offshore finances. In a water-carrying news conference call, Obama campaign flack Ben LaBolt assailed Romney's "mysterious corporation in Bermuda, his funds in the Cayman Islands and the Swiss bank account he opened."
The Democratic wizards of election-year optics believe that such populist rhetoric demonizing foreign money will help shore up their left flank and win independents tired of crony, out-of-touch government. One problem: They launched their class war fusillade in the same week that Tinseltown tycoon George Clooney announced Obama fundraising efforts — in Geneva, Switzerland. Oops.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Clooney will entertain 150 European elites at a swanky Swiss reception, "which will be followed by a more intimate — and expensive — dinner at which the star will be the guest of honor. Tickets for the latter event will go for $20,000 for singles and $30,000 for couples." As Reuters reported at the time, Clooney spearheaded a similar event in Geneva, "one of the world's most affluent cities," in 2008. "Some 170 contributors paid $1,000 a head to hear him speak at a cocktail party held at a museum in Geneva's Old Town. And 75 high-rolling supporters spent $10,000 each to attend 'an intimate seated dinner'" with the actor.
Swiss money for thee, but not for Romney, eh, Democrats?
Even more problematic for Obama: Some of his very best campaign finance bundlers and golfing buddies are architects and beneficiaries of the Swiss tax havens he purports to abhor.
Robert Wolf is president of Swiss financial giant UBS Investment Bank and chairman of UBS Americas. According to campaign finance records, this longtime friend and fat cat has personally bundled more than $500,000 for Obama, dating back to Obama's Illinois Senate days.
Obama and Wolf were introduced by radical leftist billionaire George Soros and have remained golfing and basketball buddies ever since. Wolf sits on Obama's Economic Recovery Advisory Board and the presidential Council on Jobs and Competitiveness. In August 2010, Obama's Internal Revenue Service dropped its lawsuit over UBS tax havens. The company forked over nearly $800 million to make the investigators all go away.
Wolf's no lone Swiss-based Obama wolf. The left-leaning BuzzFeed and right-leaning Washington Free Beacon websites both noted in April that another deep-pocketed Obama bundler, Charles Adams, heads the Swiss office of powerhouse law firm Akin Gump. He's raised at least $100,000.
It's fondue-savory to watch the current administration, up to its eyeballs in tax cheats and scofflaws from the Treasury Department to the Health and Human Services Department to the Labor Department, railing about Romney's purported tax evasion. It's even richer to watch Obama's operatives huff and puff about Romney's lack of transparency while using Romney's own disclosed tax forms to disparage his wealth, investments and private-sector success.

Oprah Winfrey's OWN Lays Off 30 In Network Restructuring
"As CEO, I have a responsibility to chart the course for long-term success for the network," says Winfrey. "To wholly achieve that long-term success, this was a necessary next step."
Bottom line …
Another example of liberal hypocrisy. I guess that we can be thankful that Oprah's buddy, Barack Obama, did not award her a subsidy for "green" programming.
I find it amusing that most of these people were associated with the failed Rosy O'Donnell show; headlined by the world class hypocrite who demanded that you be disarmed while her armed bodyguard was by her side.
Perhaps the tide is starting to turn and the hypocrites called out for their egregious actions and attitudes.

Oprah Winfrey's OWN Lays Off 30 In Network Restructuring – The Hollywood Reporter
The Hollywood Reporter has published an extensive interview with Ted Turner. In one section of the interview, after saying the Tea Party is "mean spirited" (a man who knows how to spot Nazis at Fox News can be trusted to root out overexaggeration wherever it exists), Turner expressed his frustrations with the Tea Party's denial of settled science:
"It's so heartbreaking to have [them] say that global warming is a hoax," Turner says in a new Hollywood Reporter profile.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, he admits to driving a Prius and supporting President Obama.
Digging a little deeper into the Hollywood Reporter story, after reading about Turner's environmentally friendly Prius and global warming concerns, we find this gem that makes Al Gore look like a buck private in the Army of Hypocrisy:
He may lack the ebullience of his earlier years, yet Turner shuttles endlessly among his 28 properties — 14 of them ranches with 55,000 bison — traveling hundreds of thousands of miles per year on his private Challenger jet.
Not exactly Ed Begley, Jr., is he? Maybe Turner could convince more people that global warming is a grave threat to humanity if he would behave as if he believes it. But the joke's on the rest of us, because when global warming turns everybody into cannibals, Ted Turner will be 35,000 feet off the ground.
Finally, the story features a little bit about Turner's television viewing habits:
He only watches CNN and no other channels on television — not even CNN's sister HLN. "I haven't watched in years," he said. "I want to see serious news."
Well he's watching the right network then:

Purple martins are North America's largest swallow, with a somewhat unusual dependence on humans for their nesting structures. Up on high poles, the Staten Island Museum has maintained the colony of houses and gourds since 1952. The colony was nearly abandoned after the birds were killed in a cold snap in 2002, and the refurbishment early this spring has been done in hopes of re-establishing it.
When birds start arriving from their Brazilian wintering grounds, they will find the area weeded and wood-chipped, and the houses, two new ones among them and two natural gourds, cleaned and painted.

Hannover, where art, culture, sport and entertainment come together, is a city of extraordinary contrasts that leave their stamp on life.
Capital of Lower Saxony, Hannover is a well-concealed German treasure. Undistinguished at first glance, the city never ceases to amaze the more you explore it. Outstanding architecture, Baroque gardens, industrial fairs and the Sprengel, one of the world's leading art museums, all spring to mind at the first mention of Hannover. Almost completely destroyed in 1944, the city has risen triumphantly from its own ashes.
Developing steadily for more than fifty years, Hannover today has been transformed into a conference and fair capital. Surpassing itself with EXPO 2000, which was visited by some 18 million people, the city earned the right to host the FIFA World Soccer Championship for a second time in 2006. The Hannover Fair, which has been held since 1947, is one of the world's largest. Indeed, five of the world's ten largest fairs take place in Hannover. At the same time the city is a center of education. Upwards of 36,000 students live and study here, most of them also starting their professional careers in the city. And the city's research centers are world leaders in production technology and laser techniques.
Hannover's architectural tradition comes to us distilled down the ages. The roads in the city's List district have been in use since its founding years, and the zoo and its opulent neighboring mansions are the finest examples of the monarchic period. In the buildings between the Marktkirche and the Leineufer you will see architectural masterpieces from the Middle Ages, particularly in the Church of St. Georg and St. Jakubus. The new Town Hall, built in 1913, is one of the city's most imposing structures. You can even take the elevator up to the top and enjoy the view. The buildings in the south of the city are characteristic of the Weimar period. Carefully restored, the old ones lend the city a swank air and integrate well with the pleasing features of modernism. Nord/LB's glass-swathed skycraper, the revolving Gehry Tower constructed of stainless steel, and the architecturally unique Torhaus are among the outstanding examples of modern architecture in the city.
Hannover's pedestrian zones are among Germany's most extensive. The pedestrian zone, named for the French sculptor Niki de Saint Phalle, the Kröpcke Passage and the Luise Gallerie are sure to please shopping buffs. And when you weary of shopping, more than 1,400 cafes are waiting to offer you respite in various corners of the city, one hundred of them in the center alone.
The world famous Baroque garden in the Herrenhäuser district was laid between 1692 and 1714 by the Duchess Sophie von der Pfalz, who was also the mother of the English King George I. This Baroque garden offers visitors a taste of the 300-year-old culture of European gardening. The fountain, which shoots water 82 meters into the air, is known as Europe's largest. And the theater plays, musicals and concerts held during Herrenhäuser's various summer cultural festivals transform this Baroque garden into a veritable land of dreams.
Hannover's Eilenriede Forest has earned the city the epithet 'City in Green'. A verdant oasis is never more than a step away for Hannover dwellers, who can even sit down and work amidst the greenery. A park area largely preserved in its natural state, Eilenriede covers a total of 650 hectares. The lungs of the city, this forest is almost twice the size of New York's Central Park, and its hiking paths, playgrounds, rest areas and grassy expanses for sunbathing are just a few of Hannover's pleasant surprises.
Art lovers and history buffs can spend enjoyable hours in Hannover's museums and art galleries. Such big names as Picasso, Nolde and Klee await you at the Sprengel Museum beside the lake known as the Maschsee. Founded by a chocolate manufacturer by the name of Bernhard Sprengel, this museum made important contributions to Hannover's art world in the 20th century. With its prehistory, nature and ethnology sections, its state gallery and its aquarium, the Lower Saxony State Museum appeals to the entire family. And the Kestner Museum, which brings the world of antiquity and ancient Egypt to our day, has something for everyone from seven to seventy. The Hermannshof Garden at Springe-Völksen combines the plastic arts with the fine arts in a park environment. And the Landestrost Chateau at Neustadt am Rübenberge, an historic venue where exhibitions, concerts and poetry readings are held, is another of Hannover's must-see's.
Hannover, where art, culture, sport and entertainment come together, is a city of extraordinary contrasts that leave their stamp on life. The Opera House, built in the Neo-classical style in 1857, and some forty theaters offer visitors hours of enjoyment. The International Dance Theater, which hosts a number of first-class ensembles every year, is inundated with visitors. And comedy and magic shows jazzed up with music and cabaret entertain visitors at the world-renowned GOP Variété. Northern Germany's biggest cabaret festival, MIMUSE is held twice a year in spring and fall at Langenhagen. Young talents thrill audiences at the Muse Festival, a music festival held at Seelze. Talented musicians from all over the world flock to the city every year for the Hannover International Violin Competition. A granary in a green area at Isernhagenhof is used as a theater and concert hall. Hannover is also the scene of countless other events during the annual Culture Summer. The open air concerts staged at the AWD-Arena or Gilde Park draw rock and pop fans to the city. Hundreds of thousands of visitors revel to their hearts' content during the Oktoberfest, one of Germany's famous festivals, and the world's largest marksmanship festival. And the Maschsee festivals are regarded as among Northern Germany's most successful.
If you're a sports enthusiast, then you can either follow the Hannover 96 soccer team, which plays in the German Bundesliga at the AWD-Arena, or the ice hockey team, Scorpions, which plays at the TUI-Arena. Hannover also boasts a 1000-km-long bicycle path known as the Bicycle Zone in its 21 affiliated municipalities. Fifteen different routes, all marked with road signs, begin from the Maschsee at the city center. Fifteen golf courses around the city also invite you to enjoy a round of this popular sport. And if nature and wildlife are your passion, you can see over 2,600 animals and their incredible shows at the Hannover Adventure Zoo. You can go on safari here in Zambezi Land with its African river landscapes, on majestic Gorilla Mountain, and in the jungle with its many wild animals.
Urban life quality has always been an advantage for people living just outside Hannover. Residents of the suburb of Hemmingen in particular savor the pleasures of life in a tranquil rural environment in close proximity to the big city. You can enjoy a stroll through charming Wedemark and its attractive historic city center, or the shopping centers of Lehrte to the east. And while you are captivated by Springe at the edge of the Deister Mountains to the south, you can also make an excursion to Wunstorf in the west on Lake Steinhuder. This 32-square-kilometer lake in the northwest of the Hannover region offers a large number of recreational alternatives ranging from a pleasant stroll to yacht races.
Marienburg rises like a remote fairytale chateau near the city of Pattensen. Once the residence of Hannover's famous Welfe kings, Marienburg was built in the mid-19th century by King Georg V as a gift for his wife Marie. This opulent Neo-gothic palace of Hannover's last dynasty has been renovated and opened to the public.
Numerous museums, awesome architecture, buzzing night life, countless shopping alternatives, and profuse green areas... This is Hannover, a city with a modern face that is equally at home with culture, art and history.

Thanks to everyone who made the first installment such a fantastic event. An eclectic crowd of over a thousand club goers danced until the early morning, with such notables as J. Cole, Mark Ronson, Grandmaster Flash, and fellow A Tribe Called Quest members Jarobi White and Ali Shaheed Muhammad getting in on the action.
Q-Tip buzzes, "the first Offline party was so dope. People came and danced all night. It was so good, but we are definitely going to top it!!"
Offline with Q-Tip Powered by Giant Step
Friday, July 20
Irving Plaza, 17 Irving Plaza
Doors: 10:30 PM
There will be a strict door policy. No single guys will be admitted unless there are ladies in your group. Dress To Impress. We love style and we know you do too, so please dress smart. Management reserves the right to refuse admission.
As you must now know, the launch of our new monthly, Offline, at Irving Plaza with Q-Tip is now only a few days away. We recently caught up with Q-Tip to get the low down on this summer's new go to party, amongst a few other juicy tidbits.
Giant Step: Congratulations on your new monthly party, Offline! How are you feeling about the launch?
Q-Tip: I feel good about it. Hopefully folks will come ready to dance, be open minded, and ready to enjoy different types of music. And you know, take it to a time where New York was bred for partying and not just kinda standing around – like a real dance party.
GS: What can partygoers expect to see and hear at Offline?
Q-Tip: They can hear any and everything, man. From a lot of dance and disco and boogie music, a lot of boogie music to lots of salsa, hip hop, dub. Old school hip hop, that is – a lot of that. A lot of funk. Afro Cuban, Afro Beat, rare groove. Electronic. Classic stuff! Also I had a DJ booth specially designed which is an art piece. The creator is a wonderful artist called Susan Linss. At each party she will add a new piece of art which is really exciting!
GS: Do you have a certain philosophy around the music you put play when you DJ?
Q-Tip: My philosophy depends on the type of party, but usually for my type of parties my philosophy is to keep people dancing and exchanging that energy coming out of themselves. You know, you work all week or you go through what you go through not to come and stand around and Twitpic or Instagram stuff and put it on Twitter. You come to be offline, to experience it, to dance, to feel the music. So my philosophy is to encourage that.
GS: When you think about great NY parties of the past what were some of your favorites?
Q-Tip: My favorite parties were like Mars, Studio 54, Red Zone, The Garage, Bassline, Love Light (not Limelight) – Love Light was dope, the original Nell's, The World, Life, Save The Robot. So many places.
We are delighted to launch the start of a monthly called Offline with Grammy award-winning, hip-hop icon Q-Tip at Irving Plaza. The first one will be on June 15th.
This is all about going back to the real New York, real music, real people.

INTERVIEW: Black & White and Shades of Mick Gray.Interview conducted by Ed Mathews
Before jumping into the world of the sequential page Mick Gray spent ten years as a technical illustrator/graphic artist/ draftsperson in the Silicon Valley, but in 1989 Mick began the start of his comic career when he got in touch with Slave Labor Graphics in San Jose. After meeting Dan Vado, publisher of SLG, Mick started inking backgrounds on HERO SANDWICH, BLOOD LUST and THE GRIFFIN. When THE GRIFFIN was sold to DC, new inker Mark McKenna was hired. When McKenna saw Mick's inks, he gave him a call. McKenna took Mick under his wing, giving him an opportunity to work with many DC and Marvel books. At the same time Mick was working with Chuck Austen on two adult comics, STRIPS and HARDBALLLater, Mick took on his fist solo project; PHANTOM FORCE, giving him the opportunity to work alongside one-time assistant to Jack Kirby, penciller and co-creator, Michael Thibodeaux. During this time Mick developed a friendship with Frank Cirocco which led to him being Franks exclusive inker who he works with regularly through Frank Cirocco's Lightsource Studios. Eventually Mick met J.H. Williams III, and in 1995 Mick and J.H. started working together on a regular basis. From titles such as BATMAN, GREEN LANTERN, CHASE, SON OF SUPERMAN to their current sensation, Alan Moore's PROMETHEA series by ABC.Mick recently took some time out of his busy schedule to talk with our own Ed Mathews.Ed: Since we last did an interview, Promethea has had 2 hardcover collections and you've done some covers with JH Williams. What are your thoughts on the success of this book? Mick: I'm very happy with the following that the book has. This book is the kind of read that will be much more appreciated in the compiled versions. I've said it many times before, but the inspiration on this book is very overwhelming for all the creators involved. That most definitely gets down to the readers.Do you have any work lined up with Marvel that you may talk about? They certainly have some momentum coming out of the Spider-Man movie... I have no work with Marvel, at the moment, but I think I will be pursuing some of my connections there. I will be looking for an inventory story that I can work on in my spare time. While J.H. has been doing painted art on Promethea, I have been pursuing different projects at DC. You can see my inks on Detective Comics 767 & 768 over penciller Steve Lieber, most all of the Secret File Chase stories, and right now I'm in the process of inking Lee Bermajo on issue 3 of Batman Deathblow, more uncommonly known as "Batblow!" This has been very challenging, inking Lee, cuz his angular style is not really what I'm known for, but I'm having fun nonetheless. But like I say, what I'm really looking for down the line is an inventory story, which basically means "no deadline". DC doesn't seem to be coming through on this for me, so I will be trying Marvel next.What is the idea behind an inventory story and how might get contracted to do one? In other words, what is the purpose of 'the inventory story'? An inventory story is used by an editor as a fill-in if say the regular story didn't get done in time. The inventory story will be waiting patiently in his file cabinet to be used at his discretion. To get an inventory job, I guess you just need to spread the word around the office that you want one. I want one basically because there is usually no deadline on it and I can work on it in my spare time. I've been spreading the word around, but I still haven't got one. Wish me luck.Good Luck. CHASE: although the series was cancelled, it did meet with critical acclaim, and the Chase character seems to stick around in the form of the Secret Files. Is there any chance the character may make a return in her own series, or perhaps a Chase Secret Files one shot? Well, from what I understand, J.H. Williams and D. Curtis Johnson have been shopping around Chase story concepts in the DC offices. I think it will eventually happen, but for now we have the Secret File stories. Something has changed since our last interview at The Slush Factory... so first, congratulations, Dad. As a new parent, do you have any advice to other inkers/pencilers/artists as to how to manage your time? Well, first off, I don't believe that I'm getting the same amount of work done, while playing Mr. Mom, that I did before. It's very surprising to me that I can do this and still have time to play with my little girl. I was very scared before she was born, that I would have problems getting work done, but that hasn't been the case. It's really always the same, as far as working on comic books freelance. The main rule is disciplining yourself, and of course loving what you do doesn't hurt a bit. I do work a lot more long nights, that's for sure!Obviously, you ink in black. Have you ever had occasion to ink in another colour, and if so, what project? (If you did, how did you think it turned out for you?) I've done very little colour work. What I have done has just been for limited edition prints. I really don't know if I have much of a colour sense, cuz I've never really played with it.How long does it take you to ink a typical page? Promethea is very detailed, and I'd imagine it takes a chunk of time... You are right there! Promethea is not the typical comic book page. Aside from being very detailed, the majority of the pages are double-page spreads, which for some reason take longer than doing two separate pages. There is only an extra half-inch in the middle gutter, but that seems to add a lot of extra work. Typically, it takes me about a day to ink one page, but it depends on the amount of detail.Before moving into the comics field you spent ten years as a technical illustrator/graphic artist/ draftsperson in the Silicon Valley, do you still do the occasional work outside the comics field? Maybe animation projects? Not much at all. The only things I really want to work on outside of comics would be possibly conceptual stuff with animators, and any kind of art for toys or album covers.Any chances of working in black and white again sometime soon? The story that J.H. and I did in The Big Book Of The Unexplained was some of the coolest stuff we've ever done. I hope some day we will have the time to do some Batman Black & White work, but I don't know when that will ever happen. Since we last spoke, you guys won an Eisner for Promethea #10. Congratulations! Has this critical acclaim allowed you some creative leeway? I think when you win awards, it will always do that to a certain degree. But as far as Promethea goes, the leeway has been so expansive that I can't imagine getting any more. Working on a book that Alan Moore writes gives the artist all the leeway he could ever want.Has the improvement in computer colouring over the years at all affected your work? Most definitely. I really couldn't imagine Promethea looking the way it does without the amazing computer colouring of Jeremy Cox. With the old style of colouring, it just wouldn't have the same feel. The only way it could've been done with the same effect would've been hand painting all the art, which J.H. is actually doing at the moment!Right now LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN is speeding it's way along in Hollywood, with the recent interest in Alan Moore's properties (FROM HELL, for example), and comics to film properties in general, have you received any word yet on a possible PROMETHEA flick? What would be your ideal picks for the cast if you had that power? I would love to see Catherine Zeta Jones as Promethea! Thora Birch (American Beauty, Ghostworld) would be a good Sophie. But we have not heard anything as of yet. I think with computer graphics, Promethea could be a fantastic film! I think of "What Dreams May Come" and I see Promethea done in that same way.Have you met Alan Moore yet? No, but I have talked to him on the phone for 15 minutes. He seemed like a really great guy and I would love to meet him and talk to him more. As the inker I really don't have any need to call England and drive up my phone bill. J.H. talks to him probably once a week and they get along really great.One of the most effective online marketing tools today, at least in the comics field, is the utilization of message boards. Do you find you maintain much of an online presence yourself? Has your website been helpful to you? I don't do much message board chatting. J.H. is a regular on the DC site. I think it is important for him to do this. He has a lot more information than I do. My website has been a great tool for more people to find us. I send out a semi-regular newsletter to my mailing list of people to let them know about news and artwork we have received back. This helps a lot in selling art.Ebay: Wonderland or Menace? Obsession!!! I buy too many CD's there! As far as selling artwork, I don't really like to put it on Ebay because I think people are looking for "the deal" and I really don't want to sell my artwork cheap. We put so much work into it, I want to keep its value up.Being an inker, you have to be more careful of your work, some pencillers can do a drunken piece of work one night and just erase it the next (not that that ever really happens, because we all know that's a hypothetical), but in your case - the job is permanent. Have you ever made any "mistakes" or take precautions to prevent such a thing happening? Have you ever turned lemons into lemonade? I consider myself just an inker, not an embellisher. An embellisher is the guy who turns lemons into lemonade. As far as making big messes, I've been lucky and haven't had any really bad situations. The worst was early in my career, ghosting with Randy Emberlin on Amazing Spiderman. I hit the inkwell and saw it spinning through the air in slow motion, ink spiraling in all directions, landing on the artwork. I usually don't use whiteout at all, but in that case I really needed to.Fancy doing a bit on pencilling or writing in the future? I always tell people that I am having so much fun inking and it takes up so much time that I don't think about that much. But if I ever have a long sabbatical, I may dabble with some penciling on my own. It would definitely be much more cartoony.You and JH often sell your art (as I can personally attest to at least once), but naturally there must be some pieces you keep for yourself. How do you decide on what to sell and what not to sell? It's just the pieces that have some kind of sentimental value. I just put together a portfolio of my own of all my favorite pieces. What's your favorite movie this summer? Have you seen any of the animated films? With a new baby, we haven't had a chance to see anything except for Spiderman. But we loved it! We just saw Fight Club on video and highly recommend that one!Finish this sentence: "When the Office of Homeland Security calls..." I let the answering machine pick up.What are some other inkers/embellishers that you admire and why? What is the distinction between an embellisher and an inker? The difference between an inker and an embellisher are extreme. An inker is basically taking pencils that are all there and close to perfect and just capturing what the penciller has put down. He may pop certain figures by thickening and accenting lines and he may add textures and tones to the art to give it depth. An embellisher, on the other hand, takes pencils that aren't all there, maybe just breakdowns and adds actual art. He may actually pencil and change the art to make it more presentable. I really admire all inkers that can capture the penciller's essence. I tend not to like inkers that put a style of their own over the pencils. Of course there are a few that I admire that do this.Do pencillers who also ink the work of others tend to do this more often? Yes... I think most of the time this is true. They tend to let their style "rub off" on to the pencils.Thank you for taking the time to do this interview, Mick. Good luck with everything!

The long tease is finally over. After airing a cryptic commercial during "Saturday Night Live" earlier this month, Daft Punk are finally ready to give fans some solid information on their upcoming fourth studio album.
The name and possible release date of the long-awaited release were posted on iTunes over the weekend as part of the album's pre-sale. But in keeping with the slow reveal, all we got was the name, Random Access Memories and an "expected" release date, May 21. A spokesperson for the French techno duo's new label, Columbia Records, could not be reached for confirmation on the iTunes pre-sale information at press time. Their independent publicist was also not available for comment.
Though we now know that the group's first studio album since 2005's Human After All is expected to have 13 songs, the titles have also not yet been revealed. The album's cover, if legitimate, contains a hybrid image of the classic silver DP robot mask on one side and a sleeker, golden version on the other.
In keeping with their mysterious nature, Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo have not made a peep about the album to date, but a number of their friends and collaborators have given a few sneak peeks.
Chic co-founder Nile Rodgers recently suggested the album is imminent and a number of others are also reportedly contributing to the project, including Animal Collective's Panda Bear, disco icon Giorgio Moroder and Chilly Gonzales.
German electronic producer Boys Noize told MTV News earlier this year that he was not at liberty to say much, but that he knows that "some good friends" worked with DF and that the effort will be "amazing."
"Daft Punk has always been a big influence," he said. "Not because of the songs, but about that sound and production. To this day … no one got on that level … No one sounds like Daft Punk and I'm very, very excited to hear their new stuff." Even though he's not heard any of the new music, BN said he can imagine what it will sound like and expects it will blow minds.

Atlanta (April 8) - Eight-Time and Five-Division World Champion Floyd "Money" Mayweather broke from his Las Vegas training camp over the weekend to attend the semifinals of the men's college basketball tournament at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta. While there, he also sat down with media members covering the tournament to discuss his upcoming WBC and Ring Magazine Welterweight World Championship mega-fight against Six-Time and Four Division World Champion Robert Guerrero taking place Saturday, May 4 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas which will be produced and distributed by SHOWTIME PPV®.
Below please find quotes on an array of topics in "Money" Mayweather's own words.
On the NCAA Tournament and Enjoyment of Basketball
"I love basketball. I honestly feel if you are not sweating and it is not blood, sweat and tears, it is not a sport. No disrespect to anyone who's involved and they think it is a sport, but to me it's just an activity if you don't have blood, sweat and tears, then I think it is just an activity.
"This year I really thought it was going to be Indiana. One of my teams is still in it too, but unfortunately for me, I did not have them advancing to the Finals. I will watch the game and am probably going to watch the first half before I decide to make a bet. I have watched both teams [Lousiville and Michigan] and see how they play."
"No one had Wichita State and I guess that is why they are called the 'Shockers.' Obviously that program is doing something right.
"I was telling Charles Barclay before my interview, during the Big East tournament, when Syracuse took the lead over Louisville, they started to play comfortably and Louisville came back and won the game. Same thing happened Saturday against Wichita State, but I think if Michigan takes the lead on Louisville, it is going to be harder for them to come back. Both teams are stacked with talent.
"These guys just poured their hearts out for the love of the game. I just saw that situation at Rutgers where the coach was throwing balls and choking those players and those players didn't go over the edge. They knew they couldn't because they weren't in the position to pull their family out of a rough situation so they were in a tough spot. In that case you have to take the bumps and bruises that comes with those situations. but I don't think it was right what was going on and treating those young college kids playing basketball."
On His May 4 Championship Fight Against Robert Guerrero
"I have been off for a year now, so I am looking forward to getting back in the ring. Less than a month away, so I am excited.
"Robert Guerrero is a tough fighter, a solid, busy fighter. He only has one loss, a champion in multiple weight classes. Let's see what he can do in there. I am sure he is going to be able to make adjustments in that squared circle just like I can, so we will have to see what happens on May 4th. We will have to see how the fight plays out. I just want the fans to tune in. It's going to be an action-packed fight on May 4th. I am willing to do whatever it takes to get the victory. If I have to mix it up or box. I am going to bring it.
"He [Guerrero] did something right to get here. I am sure he is going to be on his 'A' game, but I am not really worried about what he can do. He needs to worry about what I can do because I have already proven what I can do in the ring.
"I am very appreciative of what boxing has done for me and I am glad to have given back so much to the sport too. I always wanted to be the best and I think I have proven that over the course of my career.
"I have been pushing myself in training camp. I think my body is going to look tremendous for this fight. I can't say how my performance is going to be, but of course I am going to go out there and perform. I always am at my best.
"On May 4th I am going to go out there, be ready and hopefully he is ready too. This is the longest I have trained for any fight, so it should be a great night.
"I am going to dish it out against Robert Guerrero on this one. I am going to be the Mayweather that is active. I have young guys who are really pushing me in the gym for this fight. Sure I have bad days in the gym, but I don't have bad fight nights, bad paydays.
"Everything is going in camp like it should go. My Dad and me have an understanding that we all work as a team so that is going well because I need my whole team. My uncle Roger is coming along as far as his health, but one thing is for sure, that is my family and I love them. We can't choose our family and as my mother said in the documentary [30 DAYS IN MAY], they gave me a hand and I am just playing the hand they gave me.
"I really wouldn't be here without my team. My career is not just about the money like some people want to believe. My career is about my legacy. It's also about living, loving and laughing and enjoying life.
"I go through ups and downs. It's a roller coaster ride. I just keep on going and do the best I can, but I am strong and am going to continue to survive. Continue to go strong not just for the sport of boxing, but to entertain the people too.
"I am happy to be with SHOWTIME and CBS. This is the beginning of our relationship and for the next 30 months I plan to give you action-packed fights.
"I flew to Atlanta for the Final Four, flew to Miami to check my property, I am heading back to Las Vegas to train, then have to make a stop in Los Angeles.
"Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion about me and my career. I honestly don't really care what you say. I love my fans, but I don't live for anybody except myself and my family. I am comfortable with myself. If people are out there saying 'I don't like Floyd Mayweather and he is only about the money,' I am pretty sure I have some of their pay-per-view money too."
On Heroes and Young Fighters
"I looked up to a lot of people coming up. I looked up to different people: my father, my uncle Roger, a lot of other fighters who have come before me too like Muhammad Ali and even Mike Tyson. I looked up to a lot of people. I always wanted to be the first to do something, so I was always listening and learning the best I could.
"The person you meet now is the same person you are going to meet down the road. I don't care what car I am driving or jewelry I am wearing. I stay who I am regardless of what you think I might be or who you think I am.
"People always say, 'If I had this much money, I would do this or I would do that.' Well those people don't actually have the money or are not in my position. As Stephen Espinoza just said, you don't stay at the top for as long as I have just because. I obviously have been doing something right.
"My mindset has always been to be the best. I would rather be known as a smart fighter. If you go back and look at my interviews from when I was young, I always said the less you get hit, the longer you are going to be able to stay in the game. Going to toe-to-toe just because you can say you did it is not cool to me.
"Sure I have done it in some of my fights, like the Miguel Cotto fight, but there is also a limit. I couldn't have done that in all of my 43 fights. There is a limit.
"I say to the young fighters that some things just aren't cool. They think taking a lot of punishment and going toe-to-toe in every fight is cool? That's not cool. Or to be able to say they got locked up. That's not cool either. I know I have made mistakes but I can wake up every morning and say I have been honest admitting that.
"Also for the young fighters they should make sure they have a good team around them. People that are going to keep it real with you and can help you make the right decision. There are limits to everything you do. Even though I might seem edgier at times, I have limits too. I am older now and I understand it better. Things can come to a young good fighter so fast they can get caught up in a bad situation. I am going to continue to mentor the young, up-and-coming fighters. I will try to be the best mentor I can for some of these young fighters.
"For young people I say, work hard and dedicate yourself to your life. Be respectful to your parents, go to school because education is important and never compromise to be the best that you can be.
"I want to be able to get around and be sharp when my career is over. I want to be like Rafael Garcia who is here with me today. He's almost 90 years old, hanging with us, still jogging, driving, and wearing sunglasses. I want to be like that when I am older. I want to be able to hang out with my grandkids and be the patriarch of my family."
On Training and Music
"If I was to identify with a rapper I would probably have to say Tupac. Just with everything that has happened in my career and what he rapped about and his own life struggles, I would have to say.
"As far as listening to music, I am older now and I am an R&B man. I got a lot of nice cars and when I am driving around in a nice Rolls Royce taking Ms. Jackson out to eat, I'm not trying to be bumpin' some wild music. Even in the gym or when I run with cars following me with the music, I tell them to give me some old school music, all old school."

Well said MoneyMay... See you on May-Day...
Good job Floyd
It's good to hear him talking some sense for a change.
That actually has to be said?
I thought that goes without saying.
I mean if we have to tell anyone hey it's not "cool" or a good idea
To have your entire freedom taken away as you ruin your life
then I think out society and the human race is in trouble.
Wait a minute, too late.
Floyd talk is cheap.
Actions speak louder than words, like bernard Hopkins
has not been in trouble since and continues to talk to inmates and make appearances
to spend time and educate the youth.
I'm sorry but Floyd's talk is cheap.
And not impressive.
I mean the dude just it out and has had 3 different
allegations of domestics violence.
That's not coincidence.
That's disturbing.

I think Floyd does have some issues but he served his time. And the jail time seems to havemade an extreme impact. Nobody really knows the other side of the story... Allegedly his babies mamma was throwing some project X style parties around his kids in a major way. Obviously Floyd's response was inappropriate.. But If I was paying 60,000 a month on child support an my ex was importing old friends from the projects..... Burning up my hard earned money in a puff of smoke and covorting with a house full of leaches and hangers on I'd have my share of issues too. This not a black and white situation.. You cant continually tear a man down for doing something good by just focusing on his faults or past mistakes..... amayseng ... If everybody had to live by your standards there wouldn't be a single good man left standing on the planet. The very same woman who brought the charges against him didn't have a mark on her. She appeared in a video with him at his moms house breaking bread with his family even after Floyd had been convicted and sentenced...she has also made several interviews saying she provoked Floyd and openly shares part of the blame...
The situation on a whole is a bit disfunctional... But the same time its far more complex than somebody's card board cut-out holier than thou perspective makes it seem.
Give the man time .
If Mike Tyson can rise from the ashes of being a rapist and a wife beater to becoming a Vegan with his own Broadway show... Dispensing wisdom and life- transformating advise... Then surely the sky is the limit for the far more reserved Mayweather to have the same potential to transform his own life.
Its takes time to change behaviors learned over a lifetime.
Love watching him fight hate listening to him talk. I actually thought he said alot of great things in this interview but im pretty sure pretty soon he's going to say something that's going to rub me the wrong way.
B-sug your 110% right I think he will get it after his career is over but right now he's just so wishy washie I can't tell if he's being sincere or not. I will give him the benefit of the doubt for now but I got a feeling
Brown sugar I know for a fact women can e crazy and drive u crazy.
If his ex is throwing some weird parties or putting his kids in jeopardy then why hasn't he taken FuLL custody of his kids to
give them a safer and better life?
A father always protects his children.
He hasn't even attempted to receive full custody.
I don't see him doing that.
If my high standards are dont beat or abuse or physically harm women then don't you think
that is very telling that you or others accept those as high standards when they should be
what is expected?
Floyd made one comment - it ain't cool to go to jail.
Well no ****.
I am supposed to be impressed by one sentence?
Don't tell me Floyd.
Show me Floyd.
Show me not only by staying out of trouble but by actions.
Make some appearances.
Do some good.
Tall is cheap.
I expect more out of a 36 year old father who has so much money that limitations financially are not an issue.
I work a full time job. I'm a single parent with full custody of my boy his whole life of 14 years now
And I coach the city's babe Ruth baseball team of 13-15 years old.
I don't have time for **** but I spend 6 days a week 1/2 the year with these kids trying to pass something
on to them not just with baseball but with life.
1/3 of my kids have divorced parents.
I could be golfing everyday after work but I choose to spend my time helping these kids.
Forgive me but Floyd's talk is cheap.
Do something to help.
I understand that he does donate and help
And I'm glad he does.
But troubled youth do not see nor hear.
I feel his actions and physical services would go a long way.
They are needed and he has the ability to
contribute greatly.
Lil' Floyd is full of ______! He does his parts -- no doubt! But everybodee and dey momma will know, because about it, he and his groupies are going to shout. The Money Team is doing what is in publicity fashion to the minimum IMHO. But at least it has it to give. And it is real.
Raining on those whores is not always legit. Oftentimes it's a stunt for coolness publicity. Holla!
Great comments
Let me be clear, I am not Hating soley on floyd...
as a society in todays day and age, morals, values and expectations are at an all time low.
doing the very least in my eyes is not admirable..or ACCEPTABLE.
i strive to be better everyday, and do my best everyday...
the older you get the more you understand that...
now do i expect a 23 year old broner to understand that? no hes too young and immature..
but i expect a 36 year old Floyd who has 100 million dollars to do more the the "minimal"
that is what is wrong with the people in this country today, they do the minimum, in every aspect...
my expectations are high, as are my morals and values...
i expect athletes and celebrities even a normal joe like myself to do what i can.
throwing some money here and there wont solve as much as people think.
growing up children have role models for what accomplishments athletes make, not how much money they have...
kids dont have a sense of money
I just envisioned Floyd showing up at Amayseng's local park for a charity softball game. You're the pitcher to his hitter . You've tried several times hitting him with a underhand fast ball but you can't penetrate the shoulder roll defense . Now I see you taking off your cleat and throwing it at him Muntadhar al-Zaidi style .
Why does hi jive about this subject merit attention! Is this message to the youths? What does he fucn think his audience is a bunch of idiots! Its like Bill Clinton telling a bunch of lawyers dont get the job on the job! Im tired of this bloody soap opera with the Mayweathers, and 50c, and Snookie, and Cloee, and Panetella. Talk about Huck's right, and Broner's beard, and Gary Russel's noise, and Donaire's hook! No more media propaganda! You dig!

Dang FRISCOES! Hehe! Holla!
Lmfao @ Bernie's rant. People love a soap opera. They need someone to be critical of in order to feel good of themselves. Nice guys are boring . Look at Sergio Martinez for example . He just gave up a 6 figure donation ..folks hardly noticed or commented on it. Society loves the bad guy!
Floyd rains on hoes on camera/Pacquiao rains on hoes in burlesque huts/mayweather has a witty advisor named Leonard ellerbe/Pacquiao has a thief advisor in Michael koncz.
Who cares if he is a role model or not, this is boxing! The theater of the unexpected! Smack talk 101! My people versus your people! Nephew versus uncle! Etc
Amayseng, the guys is a long-time idiot from the old Universe. I know this _______ _____ from his syntax. How many times have posters told him that "hoes" are what you use in a garden to chop weeds with. "Hos" are the colloquialism of proper English whores in what he means. Dude is an instigator and racist that routinely crash into this Universe with hateful dimwitted syet until Editor Mike bounces him out..
And NO! He doesn't read the scribes' copies. He is strictly here because he has issues, and apparently needs escapes from his failures in real life. So he comes here to vent with whackout racism, participantly against Pinoys because he works under them and always has in real-space time. Hehe! Holla!
Yep Radam I noticed he likes to try to bully.
That's why I called him out.
I hate bullies.
Of all sorts.
I don't even know radam or his agenda but he comes across *** the bully and racist
Please stop.
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

Yes, there is no excuse for fat shaming. It is extremely inappropriate to make anyone feel uncomfortable about his or her size. Now it seems a new "Scooby-Doo" direct-to-video movie is on the chopping block for animating Daphne into a disproportionate size eight from a size two, reported the Huffington Post Thursday.
Mystery Inc.'s Daphne has historically been drawn extremely thin since the animated "Scooby-Doo" franchise began in 1969. The self-absorbed Daphne is characterized by her beauty and vanity, whereas Thelma, with her glasses, is the brainy sleuth. The famous redheaded cartoon character's sparse appetite was immortalized in the 2002 live-action "Scooby-Doo" flop when Daphne and Shaggy switched bodies, and Scooby's best pal couldn't understand that empty feeling of hunger. So it comes as no surprise that a weight gain curse would be "the worst thing to happen to Daphne" in the new release "Scooby-Doo: Frankencreepy." But others don't see it quite the same way.
Some of the criticism lies in the way Daphne was drawn. Huff Post and The Good Men Project said the animators crafted one of the cursed "Scooby-Doo" characters akin to the "blueberry balloon version of Violet Beauregarde from 'Willy Wonka,'" instead of a "size two to a size eight." Critics went on to blast the creators for not being fully aware of what an actual size eight woman looks like because Daphne was drawn much larger. The producers are accused of promoting negative stereotypes and poor body image, and others felt there could have been a better way to give Daphne a lesson on her superficial attitude.
Some fans spoke out in defense of the message "Scoob-Doo: Frankencreepy" was trying to convey. Freddie loves Daphne and didn't notice her increase in size, and eventually the cursed Daphne realized her reaction about her looks were shallow. Warner Brothers issued a statement where they say the new movie isn't just about Daphne's weight gain and beauty, but about each of the "meddling kids" losing something that means the most to them, all which could be perceived as superficial. The brilliant Thelma uncovered the real mystery and moral to the story; the "Scooby-Doo" gang never lost what means the most to each of the members, and that is their "friendship."

Quick, short, remembrance of our outfits worn in Augarten, a public park in Vienna where we spent quite memorable moments during our childhood!
We decided to wear quite casual look while paying close attention to details. Main garments were the fur biker jacket by Armani and the boyfriend blazer (timeless piece) by Isabel Marant pour H&M. It is always great and easy to combine it with leggings or skinny jeans.
As the weather was amazing on that day, we went on a nice stroll across the entire park. Without even realizing it, the time flew by and it we were already enjoying sunset!
Des: Jacket – Armani, Sweater – H&M, Skinny Jeans – , Sneakers – Christian Dior, Sunglasses – Max Mara, Necklace – Zara
Jen: Boyfriend Coat – Isabel Marant pour H&M, Sweater – Zara, Legging – Zara, Ankle boots – Massimo Dutti, Bag – Bimbo & Lola, Sunglasses – H&M
