Operator: Good afternoon and welcome to the F5 Second Quarter Financial Results Conference Call. At this time, all parties will be able to listen-only until the question-and-answer portion. Also, today's conference is being recorded. If anyone has any objections, please disconnect at this time.
I'd now like to turn the call over to Mr. John Eldridge, Director of Investor Relations. Sir, you may begin.
John Eldridge - IR: Thank you, Carol. Welcome all of you to our conference call for the second quarter of fiscal 2012. The speakers on today's call are John McAdam, President and CEO; and Andy Reinland, Executive VP and Chief Finance Officer. Other members of our executive team are also with us to answer questions following our prepared comments.
If you have question questions after today's call, please direct them to me at 206-272-6571. If you don't have a copy of today's press release, you can access one on our website at f5.com. In addition, you can access an archived version of today's live webcast from the Investor Relations Events Calendar page of our website through July 18, 4.30 PM today until midnight Pacific Time, April 19. You can also listen to the telephone replay at 866-503-3214 or 203-369-1863.
As we indicated in our press release, financial results for the second quarter reflect some changes in the way we report our non-GAAP measures. Prior to Q2, our non-GAAP results have excluded only stock-based compensation expense. Following the of Traffix Systems in February, we have decided to adopt common industry practice and exclude amortization of purchased intangibles and all acquisition-related charges as well. Going forward, we believe this practice will provide investors with a more accurate representation of our operating business model. A full reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results for Q2 and our Q3 guidance is provided in our press release and the consolidated statements of operations included in the press release and also posted on our website.
During today's, our discussion will contain forward-looking statements, which include words such as believe, anticipate, expect and target. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these statements. Factors that may affect our results are summarized in our quarterly press release and described in detail in our SEC filings.
Before we begin, I also want to remind you that F5 has no duty to update any information presented in this call.
Now, I'll turn the call over to Andy Reinland.
Andy Reinland - SVP and CFO: Thank you, John. F5's fiscal second quarter marked a return to product revenue acceleration as strong telco sales and continued momentum in software and security drove revenue ahead of our guidance. Revenue of $339.6 million which exceeded the high end of our $332 million to $337 million guided range, grew 5.3% from the prior quarter and 22.4% year-over-year. In line with our expectations, Q2 revenue from Traffix Systems was not material to results.

Dear Examiner.com followers and friends. It is with bittersweet feelings that I would like to announce my resignation as the Chicago Vegetarian Examiner. Since Examiner.com's inception I have felt honored to hold such a great title and be able to share my experiences, ideas, and opinions as a vegetarian living in Chicago. I will be moving to a different state and therefore will no longer be able to enjoy and report about food, events, and news in Chicago. Because this is my final article, I would like to share with you my favorite things about being a vegetarian in Chicago:
Favorite Lunch spot in the Loop: Roly Poly
This soup, sandwich and salad shop offers up very fresh, super healthy lunch with a vegetarian friendly menu. When I want to eat light but stay full I always opt for the "spa salad," which is bursting with fresh greens and crisp vegetables, and is topped with avocado slices, giant walnut pieces and dried cranberries. On a chilly day go for spring asparagus or vegetarian vegetable soup, and if you have a hankering for a fresh sandwich, try the veggie fajita, spinach popper, monster veggie, California hummer, nut & honey sandwich, or the nutty avocado.

Favorite Fine Dining Spot: Green Zebra
Vegetarian dining in Chicago does not get more glam or more unique than that of the fare at Green Zebra. Inspired by fresh vegetables and worldly flavors, Green Zebra has a seasonally rotating menu that will always provide a delicious gastronomic experience. Green Zebra's current menu is offering selections such as Bubble Gum Pear Salad with watercress, grapefruit, and Szechuan peppercorn vinaigrette; Sunchoke Ravioli with grilled leeks, medjool dates, preserved lemon, and a quail egg; Warm Braised Artichoke and Bread Salad with olives, and preserved lemon; and Rye Spätzle served with kraut, smoked caramelized onion, caraway, and topped with stout foam.

Favorite Meat-Free Pig-out Place: Chicago Diner
Vegetarian food for those with an American-diner sized appetite. Featuring brunch, lunch, and dinner that is vegan friendly (think burgers and milkshakes). Select from menu items such as a "meatball sub," "chicken" fajitas, roasted garlic gnocchi, taco salad, a California Rueben, "pork" tacos, or "sausage" and egg biscuits. Chicago Diner also features a vegan bakery, which can even produce fabulous vegan wedding cakes.

Favorite Chicago (veggie) Hotdog: Hot Doug's
When it comes to enjoying a Chicago staple sans meat, look no further then Hot Doug's, located on Chicago's Northwest side. Although this hot dog stand is bursting with meaty options, skirting near the danger-zone is worth it for one of their "Pete Shelley's" (veggie dog). Cooked to perfection and bursting with meat-free goodness, be sure to order it "dragged through the garden" (mustard, onion, sweet relish, a dill pickle spear, tomatoes, sport peppers, and celery salt on a poppy seed bun). Please note Hot Doug's accepts cash only.

Favorite Event with Vegetarian Food: The Taste of Chicago
Chicago may be known for meaty specialties such as polish sausage, the famous hotdog, Italian beef, and deep dish pizza with sausage incased inside, but those who live here know that a multicultural, thriving city means that great vegetarian food is never far away. Every year I have attended the Taste of Chicago I have never gone home hungry and usually am forced to crawl home groaning and holding my stomach before I even get a chance to sample all of the dishes I want. This year, expect to see Chicago culinary delights like cheese empanadas, fresh guacamole with chips, spinach-stuffed pizza, sweet potato chips, roasted veggie tacos, sweet potato cheesecake, garlic fries, five-cheese pizza, fresh gazpacho, grilled pear salad with walnuts and blue cheese, vegetable tempura, sweet potato hash browns, potato and sauerkraut pierogies, potato pancakes, garlic mozzarella cheese bread, fresh bruschetta, breaded eggplant sandwich, spinach and mushrooms crepes, and much more.

Last week, students in the Future Farmers of America class at Medical Lake High School showcased their presentation about genetically modified organism foods to the Medical Lake School District board of directors at its monthly meeting.
The presentation at the Tuesday, April 23 meeting, which earned the team the right to attend the state competition, gave both sides of the GMO argument about whether Washington state should label foods that have been modified.

CLAIM: Jessica Simpson to Get Breast Reduction Before Wedding
"Jessica's Surgery Confession," reads the headline of a piece in In Touch, which claims Jessica Simpson "wants" to get a breast reduction before her wedding to Eric Johnson.
"She thinks that if she downsizes her breasts, she will look smaller" on her big day, a so-called "friend" of Simpson's tells the tab.
Another unnamed "insider" is quoted in In Touch as saying that Simpson is terrified of being a "plus-size bride… Jessica wants to waltz down the aisle — not waddle."
That same so-called "insider" adds that Simpson's trying to drop the pounds, but "if the weight doesn't come off soon, she might either call off her wedding or get surgery… Breast reduction is first on her to-do list."
Once again, it's time to bust the boobs at In Touch.
A source close to Simpson assures Gossip Cop that Simpson is NOT getting a breast reduction.

Let $V$ and $W$ be two finite-dimensional inner product spaces over the same field and let $T\in \mathcal{L}(V,W)\ $ be a linear transformation. Show that $T$ is injective if $T^*$ is surjective.

Here's how it works:
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
$T \in L(V,W),\ T^* \in L(W,V) $ as for inner product spaces duals can be identified to itself. So if for $ v \in V $ we have $ T(v) = 0 $ then for all $ w\in W $ we have $$ \langle T^*(w),v\rangle = \langle w,T(v)\rangle = 0 $$ But if $T^*$ is surjective then there exists $ w \in W $ such that $ T^*(w) = v $, hence $ \|v\| = \langle v,v\rangle = 0 $ so $ v= 0 $. Hence $T$ is injective.

With three of their final four Great Northern League games on the friendly confines of the pitch at the high school, the Lady Hawks hope to use the lack of a bus ride to their advantage and move up in the standings for a post-season playoff berth – one that might even net them a first round home game.

total bullshit. most americans know the atlanta-based cable network TBS, and that it was formerly called Superstation TBS. instead of using the acronym for Total BullShit, TBS, one can say 'superstation' instead.
say you're playing call of duty and someone kills you from the other side of the map with a single bullet to the head from a thompson, you might exclaim, "that's fucking superstation."

Taylor Swift Victim of Death Hoax
Truth rating: 0
Taylor Swift is the victim of a new death hoax. The sick rumor was started by a fake "MTV News" Twitter account claiming the singer had been found dead in her home on Sunday. It is 100% false. Swift is NOT dead.
The real MTV never reported the phony "death." It's just the latest hoax to take hold thanks to a phony news report on social media. In recent weeks, Mariah Carey and Montell Jordan were victimized by similar pranks.

We should pressure our media and the government to stop calling it swine flu. I see Obama is doing it so why not us. Cannot see Obama being too pleased with North American flu! At least our media have stopped calling it "deadly swine flu".
I am still eating my bacon, and so should the whole world, or at least those whose religion permits it.
It's not swine flu; it's 'North American Influenza' says the New Zealand Pork Industry Board as it sets out to defend its pigs against viruses and negative publicity alike.
The pork industry is worth an estimated $1 billion to the New Zealand economy and its leaders are worried that media-fed misinformation about influenza A (H1N1) could prove as deadly to the industry as the virus itself.
To quell any possible consumer backlash arising from flu fear NZ Pork has issued a statement extolling the safety of New Zealand-raised pork.
It says that it is now widely recognised that it is not correct to call the current disease 'swine influenza' because "this is a different virus to the one that causes swine flu in pigs overseas".
The disease is 'North American Influenza' according to NZ Pork, which reminds us "there has never been a case of swine influenza in pigs in New Zealand".
There is no evidence to date that pigs have been infected, or could be infected, by this mutated virus, it says, assuring consumers that "you cannot get the virus causing the current human outbreak from eating pork or pork products that are properly cooked".
NZ Pork has three main reasons to be worried by the outbreak of the illness formerly known as swine flu.
The immediate threat comes in the form of trade barriers as countries use the influenza outbreak as an excuse for good old-fashioned protectionism.
New Zealand Pork Industry Board chief executive Sam McIvor says that while this country's pork exports total only $5 million, protectionism would still be very damaging to these producers: "there is no justification for stopping of any trade".
But in the much bigger domestic market there are two specific concerns for the pork industry.
The first, Mr McIvor says, is about consumption, hence NZ Pork's attempt at a "re-brand" of this particular strain of influenza.
"People tend to get their information in sound bytes. We want to make it absolutely clear that we don't have swine flu in New Zealand, that this flu has no connection with pigs, and that our pork is safe to eat."
The second issue of major concern to the local market is biosecurity, which Mr McIvor says pig farmers have to be "extra vigilant" about.
Of concern is whether the virus could mutate and potentially be transferred from humans to pigs; "there have been examples in the past of human diseases being passed on to animals," he says.
New Zealand has the best pig health in the world according to an assessment by an independent vet but ironically, the thing that makes New Zealand pork so healthy is also what makes our pigs so vulnerable to a swine flu outbreak.
"New Zealand is quite unique in that it has the highest percentage of outdoor-bred pigs in the world.
"Unfortunately that also makes us more susceptible to viruses that are carried through the air and makes it harder to isolate affected pigs and farms when there is an outbreak."

We should pressure our media and the government to stop calling it swine flu. I see Obama is doing it so why not us. Cannot see Obama being too pleased with North American flu! At least our media have stopped calling it "deadly swine flu".
They need to call it "regular flu," because that's all it is. 300k-400k people die of thousands of different strains of flu every year -- roughly 1000 per day. In the last week, 9 people have died of this particular strain. That's roughly .01% of the total flu deaths in the world this week. This is "regular flu."
The whole alleged stigma that has bred this marketing angst is ridiculous. It's pig flu. Look at the recipe for this thing and it's mainly pig virus, with a dash of bird and human thrown in.
Calling it H1N1 is disingenuous and potentially more panic-stricken. The former because it belays the novelty in this flu, while the latter because the 1918 pandemic was H1N1 too, and this is not that yet.
It's swine flu, not pork flu or ham/bacon flu. You cannot get this flu from eating dead pig. Stick with that truth instead of trying to rename spades.
Unfortunately the Mass Media have done such a good job of causing wide spread panic with "Swine Flu" that is will be hard to change.
Until a day or two ago it was invariably called Swine Flu in the news etc.
It is more correct to call it H1N1 Flu , but I don't expect the mass media will do so.
PS- will someone explain to the Egyptian government the real facts,
although they will very likely proceed with wiping out all pigs there.
A happy occasion for Muslims to justify killing what they regard as dirty/unclean.

Irish yew forms a distinctive upright growing shrub/tree that's perfect for adding height to the border. They originate from a sport from an ordinary yew in Fermanagh, 1780. The form 'Fastigiata Aurea' has bright golden edges to its foliage which gives the whole plant a distinctive golden appearance. It's tolerant of most soils provided there is adequate drainage and they don't become water-logged. Like all yews they can be clipped into shapes but also look particularly good when allowed to grow naturally.

You Make the Call: Questionable Touchdown Catch (Oregon vs Stanford)
November 21, 2012
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
This Stanford football season is littered with controversy. In the waning minutes of Stanford's upset of then #2 Oregon, tight end Zach Ertz caught a touchdown from quarterback Kevin Hogan, tying the game and sending it to overtime. The play was very questionable, and was at first ruled no catch. It appears that Ertz is bobbling the ball as he comes down, and it is a question of whether his shoulder hits out of bounds before he gains complete possession. You be the ref, what do you think?

County moves to limit development near Fairchild and Spokane airport
By MIKE HUFFMAN
Staff Reporter
In a rare Friday afternoon gathering – though Todd Mielke attended via speakerphone – Spokane County commissioners closed a zoning loophole that allowed for building near Spokane International Airport and Fairchild Air Force Base.
The move keeps development from occurring in "crash zones" around both airfields. And, in the case of Fairchild, removes one more possible reason for the federal government to close the Air Force base.
"We are certainly trying to find a solution," Mielk...

Success Story: Tim – 60+ Year-old Man
Tim is a very active 60+ year old who has been our patient for a number of years due to injuries related to sports and overuse. He has experienced a great deal of success with Prolotherapy in healing these pains and was now interested in learning how to maximize his health through diet and hormones.
Dr. Hauser checked Tim's hormone levels a few months ago, which revealed that his testosterone levels were low, so he began supplementing with the bio identical form of testosterone. Tim regularly follows a great supplement program that creates a healthy anabolic environment for healing and is very diligent about taking his supplements.
He felt that he was already eating a healthy diet, but recently he was just not feeling as good as he wanted to feel. So he decided to be Hauser Diet Typed. When asked what his goals were, Tim stated that his primary goal was to determine which foods promoted optimal health and well-being for his body, as well as wanting to feel good.
Tim's diet history revealed that he was already eating organic foods as much as possible, was eating a lot of carbs, and little red meat.
He stated that he really likes all foods, but some of his favorite foods were dark chocolate, yogurt, trail mix, fish, vegetables, and ice cream. He drinks 50 oz of water daily, as well as orange juice with cherry concentrate every other day. He drinks tea a couple times per week and does not drink coffee.
Tim stated that he was comfortable at his current weight, and that weight was really not the issue. He just wanted to make sure he was eating optimally for his body. He currently walks 1.5 miles every day for 45 minutes and also gardens for 1-6 hours daily.
Age: 63
Weight: 164 lbs
Height: 67″
Ideal Body Weight 158 lbs
His venous blood pH was balanced but his one hour insulin demonstrated some insulin resistance.
Diet Typing Results:
Tim was placed on the Hauser Otter Diet. Since he consumed a significant amount of carbohydrates, he needed to limit fruit and overall carbohydrate intake in order to properly follow the Otter Diet of 50% protein, 25% fat, and 25% carbohydrate.
As an Otter Tim was told to focus on what is on his plate at meal time and that protein is key. Then add in vegetables, salad, and just a small amount of complex carbohydrates, not three simple carbohydrates such as rolls, potatoes, and corn.
Five week follow-up visit:
Tim's food diary revealed that he was eating according to the Otter Diet for much of the time, but not all of the time. One problem Tim was having was with fruit, he was still eating fruit at nearly every meal, so we recommended he decrease his fruit intake to only one serving per day and increase his vegetable intake. He has a hard time not eating fruits, as it has always been in his mindset that fruits are "healthy" for you! (and this is a very common thing we hear from our Otter patients!)
The Otter Diet was Tim's diet, but everyone is different and this diet may not be best for you. If you are interested in developing a healthy eating plan for your specific Diet Type, give us a call or make an appointment online and we'll help you get started.

Facebook IPO: Will Shares Surge?
Lots of IPO news today. Annie's had been garnering much of the spotlight, until Facebook stole its thunder.
The social network is preparing its initial public offering for May, according to WSJ's Shayndi Raice and Randall Smith. From their report:
Facebook Inc. is preparing its initial public offering for May, according to people familiar with the matter, in what is shaping up to be the largest-ever U.S. Internet offering.
The Menlo Park, Calif., social network halted trading of its shares on the secondary market this week, as it sets about nailing down its shareholder count, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Facebook filed for an IPO in early February, in an offering that could raise as much as $10 billion and value the eight-year-old company at $100 billion. Facebook made $1 billion in 2011 on $3.71 billion in revenue. It has 845 million users globally.
Facebook is expected to be the crown jewel among highflying tech darlings that have gone public in the last year, including LinkedIn, Groupon and Zynga.
That said, not all of these companies have been blockbuster hits.
Take a look at this interactive graphic that shows the stock performances of some of the biggest names that have gone public in the Internet era.
So MarketBeaters, will the sky be the limit for Facebook shares when they go public? Let us know in the comments below.

June is the six month of the year. June has 30 days and its birthstone is the white pearl—the only birthstone that comes from the ocean and not from under the ground. However, June birthstones can also be listed as alexandrite, and moonstone making June an especially bejeweled month! People who are born between June 1st and June 21st are considered to fall under the zodiac sign of Gemini (the Twins) while anyone born between June 22nd and June 30th is regarded as being "Cancer" (the Crab).
June is known as being a nice month for weather—although it can occasionally get extremely hot towards the latter half. June is a time of flowers and walks in the park and abundant sunshine. It is a popular month for weddings and outdoor concerts and graduations. June is also the month that American's celebrate Father's Day which is a celebration of all that father's do for their children. Every four years the World Cup football ("soccer" to Americans) tournament is held. It begins in June and ends in July. Baseball season also runs through June.
In North American June is typically the time that Americans start flocking to pools and beaches to escape from the heat. The official first day of Summer usually falls on or around June 21st and most lifeguards are posted on beach duty several weeks before that date. Sun tan lotion and sun glasses are a must in the hot June heat which is gearing up for the much hotter months of July and August.
Although June is most well-known for the official start of summer and Father's Day, it is also "National Candy Month," "National Ice Tea Month," "National Dairy Month" and June 5th is regarded as "World Environment Day." Unsurprisingly, June is also the month that has many beach clean ups and horticultural events that are meant to help straighten up the environment before summer gets into full swing.

There are photographs from the Jersey Shore circa 1905, titled "On the beach, Atlantic City," showing ice cream sandwiches were popular then for only a penny each. The ice cream sandwiche as most of us know it—chocolate wafers and vanilla ice cream—was invented in 1945 by Jerry Newberg when he was seling ice cream at Forbes Field in Pittsburgh. There have been lots of variations—chocolate chop cookies, other ice creams—but we think the original is still the best, especially when taken to new heights by Bambara's pastry chef, Rebecca Moore.
Disclosure: Moore's version costs considerably more than one cent.
Chocolate Sponge Cake
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/4 cup dark cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp. salt
Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 10x15-inch-rimmed baking pan, and line it with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang on two sides of the pan. Sift together the flour, cocoa powder and salt. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, egg and vanilla extract. Stir in the melted butter until smooth. Add the sifted flour mixture and stir until smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread the batter evenly. Bake for 7-10 minutes or until cake is no longer wobbly in the center. This cake is thin, and there is no need for the toothpick test here. You want the cake to be very soft, or it will be difficult to assemble and cut the sandwiches.
Let the cake cool completely. Using the parchment overhang, remove the cake from teh pan carefully. Cut the cake in half. Put one half of the cake back in the baking pan, top side down. Remove the parchment from the cake. Spread softened ice cream on the cake, reaching to the sides. You can make is as thick or thin as you like. Put the other half of the cake on top of the ice crea, top side down. Remove the parchment. Place plastic wrap over the sandwiches, and place in the freezer to set overnight.
Cut sandwiches in eight pieces. Serve immediately or wrap individually and store in the freezer.

A flood of nude photos from major Hollywood stars began to leak onto the Internet on Sunday, coming from the online community site 4chan and spreading via social media sites like Reddit and Twitter. But the exact nature and true source of the leak is only now starting to become clear.
Initially believed to be a massive breach of Apple's iCloud service, as the dust has begun to settle, some new details have emerged. A 4chan user going by the name "OriginalGuy" is the first publicly known source of the leaked photos, however it appears that they were not all originally obtained by the leaker.
We are now learning that a secret ring of photo-trading sites has existed for some time, as hackers have used various methods to exploit weaknesses with iCloud and other online storage services and email accounts through phishing attacks and other methods. The only way to join "the club" was to trade originally obtained nude photos of a celebrity with an existing member, keeping the group small and deeply embedded on the so-called "dark web" side of the Internet.
When an outsider recently used Bitcoins to purchase several of the photos, including shots of Oscar-winner Jennifer Lawrence, he began leaking them to the public and set off a chain reaction of others conducting their own follow-up leaks. Thus, what seemed like a massive single-day breach of privacy, instead may have been in the works for months and only the start of a long series of leaks to come. Even now, a user is teasing members of Reddit with what purports to be thumbnails of explicit videos featuring Lawrence, in which she is allegedly performing acts on a man.
Several celebrities verified the authenticity of the initial wave of photos, including Lawrence, vowing to work with authorities to bring the leakers to justice. Others, like Victoria Justice and Ariana Grande, claimed that the photos being circulated of them were fake. These denials have caused Reddit's top scientists (a.k.a. a bunch of guys with too much time on their hands) to begin dissecting the photos of Grande, Justice, and others.
The commenters seek to match moles, body hair, articles of clothing and background architectural details. Compilations of non-nude public photos have been compared with the leaked nudes, resulting in presentations that look like they were put together by the Warren Commission -- if the Warren Commission had been made-up entirely of Internet perverts.
Compelling evidence now exists on many of these sites that authentic nude photos of Ariana Grande, Victoria Justice, Aubrey Plaza and others have been leaked and are probably the real deal. More leaks are almost certainly coming in the next few days, as the FBI takes on the case. Instead of chasing a single hacker, however, authorities may find themselves on the trail of dozens or even hundreds of hackers.

I had recently come across a novel project here on deviantART that really caught my attention. There are a lot of novels here on the site that are overlooked due to the amounts of beautiful visual art and faster to read poetry. However, there are some gems that stand out but go for the most part unseen.
Today, I decided to interview and feature the author of the novel that I first came across here on the site that caught my attention. That novel would be Fiction authored by DorianHarper (more information to follow after the interview).
When did you begin writing? Or, more simply, take writing seriously?
I've been a storyteller for practically as long as I can remember. My family would tell me that before I could read, I would pick up dictionaries and start making stories up to tell them as if I were reading from a book. I took my writing seriously to the point where I began submitting work for publication when I was in 7th grade, though12 at the time. chris-ticehurst actually interviewed me before more in-depthly on this question in his journal entry here
What about Fiction? Where did the idea come from for your novel?
Ultimately, a lot of places. Heh. I always wanted to write a story about a writer who visits his storyland or dreamworld, so the most of that aspect came from there. The rest was from other factors in my life that added to what I thought would make a good story.
Aside from the 'dreamworld', Fiction takes place in London, specifically in Mayfair. You lived in London at one time, yes? Did this effect where your story was going?
Well, Fiction was always supposed to take place in London, even before I went. I will say that living there definitely influenced a lot of things, however
and got me accustomed to the city life, history, and where things are. While I lived in Islington, I would take the Tube often to the Green Park stop and get out and walk around Mayfair. I loved all the Victorian mansions in that area, and many of my afternoons were spent in Berkeley Square, having lunch and writing chapters of Fiction in my leather journal. Daniel's residence in Mayfair at Berkeley Square came from my hours spent there writing.
Speaking of Daniel, where did his idea of a character come from?
Like I mentioned earlier, I always wanted to write about a writer who visits his dreamworld, so that is where he "originally" was born. However, a lot of inspiration for him came from the poet John Keats. If, you know, he was a poet that died young from consumption and wrote heavily on the power of immortality through art (and sleep, as in his famous "Ode to a Nightingale"). He also was prescribed laudanum for his pain, as Daniel is in the story, and referenced it in his work often. My final paper for university was actually one on Keats, Tuberculosis, and Laudanum and the effects it had on immortality through art. Thus, Daniel is a very Keats-ian inspired character. His name, however, comes from author Daniel Defoe; father of the first modern novel.
Who is your favorite character from the novel and why?
That's a tough question
Personally, I'm probably most "attached" to Daniel since he is my main protagonist and I put a lot of heart into developing him based on my personal interests in literary figures, etc., but I will say that his older brother Peter makes a close second. While Peter isn't in the entirety of the novel, I admire his character for how loving and loyal he is to his family
especially Daniel when things start getting bad.
Daniel has two love interests in the novel: Rebecca and Helena. Which do you "ship"?
Haha. Oh, gosh. Well, personally, I don't "ship" either of them since both are very much cannon
As for whom I like Daniel with the most is also tricky. Helena is the more sweet and soft-spoken love interest, whereas Rebecca is more stubborn and out-spoken one. They are very much foils to one another. Daniel and Helena also were deeply in love with each other, whereas Daniel and Rebecca really don't share that bond although they are wed. It makes both so different and so fun to work with.
And my final question just so this doesn't get too long, what would you say the lesson of your novel is?
if I HAD to choose, I would probably say the lesson that fiction and reality are two sides of the same coin, and that fiction to one person may be reality to another. It's all about perception. There was a brilliant quote from the movie "The Words" that I think sums it up: "At some point, you have to choose between life and fiction. The two are very close, but never actually touch."
A big thank you to DorianHarper for taking the time to answer these questions for me! It was a pleasure getting to find out more about your novel. As promised, here is some information:
Synopsis: Daniel Blackburn is an aspiring writer living in London, England in the mid-1800s. Suffering from consumption (tuberculosis), he finds himself growing weaker and no longer able to write his stories, especially when he slips into an opium-induced coma. What Daniel doesn't realize, however, is that when he wakes up, he's in the world from his dreams. Here, he is reunited with Helena, his lover who once upon a time had lost her life-- the very life Daniel tried to preserve in his writing. As Daniel spends more time in his fantasy world, he begins to discover that he's falling even more in love with Helena, and his sickness is starting to fade away. Things go well at first in this beautiful paradise he had created, until Daniel starts realizing that there's something dark about his fictional world, and it will stop at nothing to prevent him from returning home to reality.

Thank you so very much again for taking the time to interview me! It was a lot of fun
This was great! It was interesting to see how the story was started and how some of the ideas were started and influenced.
Lovely interview! I never knew Daniel was named after Daniel Defoe! Wonderful presentation.
I was surprised by that too! :] I always thought that he was named after the Biblical Daniel due to the events that happen and how it alludes to that story often, but it was nice to hear that he actually got his name from another writer.

There is nothing worse than sipping a bad martini (as if dishing out $12 to pay for it isn't hard enough to swallow.) When it comes to the most masterfully crafted of all cocktails (i.e. the martini), it need be tasty, inventive and should not, under any circumstances, leave a sour taste in your mouth. Here are the top 3 martini lounges in the city, in no particular order, along with their best martinis:
Jello Martini Lounge (151 Ontario E)
Although Jello Martini Lounge (formerly called Jello Bar) has been revamped and refurbished, it still screams retro-chic. Its signature lava lamps continue to ooze a 60s-inspired ambiance, while its live music, ranging from R&B to funk bands, has the crowd grooving all night long. Jello Martini Lounge has one of the most relaxed atmospheres in town which reflects the laidback attitude of Montrealers.
Best Martini: Jello Martini (Calvados and Finlandia Mango Fushion Vodka)
The Jello Martini, brightly coloured and highly addictive, is a microcosm of the lounge itself. You can also indulge in other tropical concoctions like the Cocorico.
L'Assommoir (112 Bernard W)
Though l'Assommoir is categorized as a restaurant, a live DJ and an infinite selection of cocktails make it a little more loungey in nature. High, long wooden tables, dark chocolate-coloured chairs and dim lighting give it a comfy, rustic feel. Since ordering food is a must here, savour some tapas such as the plantain chips or the salmon bites marinated in maple.
Best Martini: Cucumbertini (Vodka, cucumber, apple juice and Angostura bitters)
Yes, the Cucumbertini is ridiculously refreshing, but please, don't stop there. Delight in a variety of other food-inspired martinis such as the Basiltini or the Neon Watermelon.
Baldwin Barmacie (115 Laurier W)
A trip to Baldwin Barmacie is just what the doctor should prescribe. A wonderland of white walls and bar stools send you into a detox state of mind, while the masterminds behind the Barmacie counter paradoxically dream up concoctions that keep you coming back for more. No matter what day of the week, the crowds swarm in. No cover charge and $8 martinis make it a one stop shop even for Dr. Feelgood.
Best Martini: Cosmo (typically Vodka, cranberry juice, Cointreau and lime juice, but the secret lies within the "Barmacists")
It seems like a no-brainer of a drink. However, finding a decent Cosmo in the city is about as hard as finding a patch of living green grass amid the mountains of snow in the dead of Montreal's winter. At Baldwin's Barmacie, they've got the dosage just right. Cocktails, mixed in cough medicine-like bottles, also come with fancy names such as the Pharmacien. Sip these with a side of Baldwin's signature grilled cheese, and you're sure to keep the doctor away (at least for a while…)

With six shutout innings and nine K's last Friday night, A.J. Cole earned the Carolina League's Pitcher of the Week honors for the period of April 29th to May 5th.
Cole walked none and let up just four hits to earn his first High-A win for the Washington organization. He retired the leadoff batter fives times out of six and allowed just one runner to get into scoring position (he was stranded at third after a double play and a strikeout).
Overall, Cole is 1-1 with an ERA of 3.94, an FIP of 2.46, and a WHIP of 1.25 with 34 strikeouts (9.56 per 9IP) and six walks (1.69) in 32 innings pitched.
The 21-year-old was originally drafted in the 4th round of the 2010 draft out of Oviedo HS in… wait for it… Oviedo, FL but traded away to Oakland as part of a four-for-two transaction more commonly known as the Gio Gonzalez trade. Cole was re-acquired this past January in a three-team trade between Seattle, Washington and Oakland.
3 Responses to "A.J. Cole Named Carolina League Pitcher of the Week"
He and the other starters in the P-Nats rotation might be a part of the reason why Trevor Holder was released now ….
yeah maybe. like .001%
hopefully Holder's good start to the season will get him a look elsewhere. from reading Morrow it sounds like he's a good kid.

Final Stats
Final Box
DeKALB, Ill. - For the second consecutive start, Northern Illinois hurler Tom Barry was magnificent as he pitched the Huskies to a 3-2 victory Sunday in the series deciding finale of a three-game Mid-American Conference set against Central Michigan, who entered the weekend as the West Division's first place team.
The hits were landing all over Ralph McKinzie Field all afternoon on both sides as the teams combined for 22 hits. However, only five runs were scored. Barry took on the bulk of the hits, surrendering nine, but did not let it faze him at all. In what may have been the most important frame of the game for the lefty, he loaded the bases in the second on three straight singles with no outs. But he induced a soft liner to second, grounder to third for a force at home, and grounder to short to escape.
In the third, a walk and hit-by-pitch had CMU (24-18, 12-6 MAC) in scoring position with two outs, but Barry kept his composure to get a pop-up to second.
A leadoff double and one-out single had Barry in trouble again in the fifth. This time, he got another pop-up to second and grounder to short to keep the Chippewas from scoring.
An inning later, the sophomore surrendered a one-out infield single and erased it on a pick-off move to first for a 1-3-6 putout at second base. After back-to-back singles, Barry got out of the jam on a liner to center.
Barry then had his easiest inning in his last frame, completing a one-two-three seventh, for a final line of one unearned run on nine scattered hits and three walks with two strikeouts. The win moved his record above .500 to 4-3 on the season.
"Tom did an outstanding job today," said NIU head coach Ed Mathey. "He scattered those hits and made some good pitches when he absolutely had to. That second inning was absolutely huge. Tom is keeping his composure. When he's pitching down in the zone and changing speeds, he's pretty tough. He struggled a bit today with leaving some pitches up in the zone, but overall, he had a great performance out there today."
Barry was given an early 1-0 lead to work with in the bottom of the first. Joe Buonavolanto singled to short with one out and Reynolds followed with a single in the same location, beating an infield shift to the right. Jordin Hood then drove Buonavolanto in with an opposite field single to right.
"When you're at home, you always want to have the lead," Mathey said. "It was a pretty good MAC contest today. Both teams came out with the desire to win and got some hits. The pitchers did a nice job. It was one of those games where as a coach you're never feeling easy in the dugout. There are just so many things that can happen in baseball that open the flood gates and it didn't happen today. We kept them down and it was a fun game. We did a great job today."
The unearned tally that Barry gave up came in the fourth. With one out, Jordan Dean reached on a line drive to center that Jamison Wells caught on the run to his right, but the ball flipped out of his glove as he brought his left arm down. The ball rolled far enough away from Wells for Dean to reach second. After a walk and liner to center, Billy Anderson delivered a two-out single through the right side to score Dean.
NIU (18-25, 8-10 MAC) reclaimed the lead in the fifth, chasing starter Jake Sabol from the game. Alex Jones started it by reaching on a fielding error by short stop Robbie Harman and moved to second an out later on a wild pitch with Dave Reynolds at the plate. Reynolds then came through with a single through the right side to score Jones. The two-out run forced Sabol (4-5) out of the game as he took the loss, giving up two runs, one earned, on six hits and two walks with three strikeouts.
Birthday boy Buonavolanto added an important run to the Huskies lead as reliever Trent Howard delivered a gift of a pitch on his first offering of the seventh. The senior was all over it and smashed it over the left field fence to give the Huskies a 3-1 advantage on his first home run of the season.
"Anytime you're in the lead, you want to keep spreading it," said Mathey. "Whether it's a lot of singles in a row or a home run, you want to keep adding to it. Joe got a pitch that he liked, and he's been swinging the bat pretty well as of late, it was good to see that ball go over the fence.
"That run proved to be big because that ninth inning was interesting."
From there, it was up to the bullpen to make up for yesterday's loss. Despite giving up a run in the ninth, Zach Oates and Andy Deain closed the door to seal the second conference series win for NIU. Oates started in the eighth and worked around a one-out double. He then allowed a leadoff double in the ninth that scored an out later on a James Teas single up the middle. At that point, Deain entered the game and got a fielder's choice force out at second. The senior closer ended the game by getting Dean on a nasty full count slurve that caused an ugly check swing for a strikeout, giving Deain his ninth save.
"Both of those guys bounced back from yesterday," Mathey said. "They are both veteran guys and took it as a personal challenge to come out today and get the job done. They both felt like they let their teammates down yesterday. They came out today and did their jobs. It was great to see."
The middle of the NIU batting order led the way for the second game in a row. Buonavolanto, Reynolds and Hood each had two hits, an RBI and walk, while Buonavolanto also scored two runs.
"We have a home favorable schedule this year and we need to defend our turf," Mathey said. "This was a big series win for us, especially with it being against a team in our division. Central was a first place team before this weekend. Anytime you can take two of three from a team ahead of you in the standings that's a good thing. Hopefully, we continue to do that and look back at today and be really happy with our efforts and approach."
With final exams next week, the Huskies will have just their third week of the season without a midweek game as they will host Eastern Michigan next weekend at "The Ralph" to conclude their seven-game home stand. Games are slated for 3:05 p.m. CST Friday, 1:05 p.m. Saturday, and 1:05 p.m. Sunday.

In response to the criticism levied against the long-running sketch show for not having a more diverse cast, Saturday Night Live confirmed on Monday that producers have added a black woman to its ensemble.
Producers held a series of casting calls and auditions for black women last month and was, as executive producer Lorne Michaels put it, "driven purely by talent considerations" in the wake of the criticism. New York-based actress, writer, and comedian Sasheer Zamata was the show's top pick and will make her SNL debut on the first live show of the new year, which airs Jan. 18 and features Drake as the host and musical guest.
Zamata is a member of NYC's Upright Citizens Brigade and has several additional acting credits, including the Cooking Channel's original web series Fodder and Inside Amy Schumer, plus a web series entitled Pursuit of Sexiness that she co-created. She is a graduate of the University of Virginia with a drama degree and will be the first black female cast member since Maya Rudolph, who left in 2007.
Meanwhile, SNL also announced on Monday that actor Jonah Hill will host the Jan. 25 edition with musical guest Bastille. Hill had hosted twice before, once in 2008 and again in 2012. The 30-year-old comes fresh off the box office debut of The Wolf of Wall Street, which opened in theaters on Christmas Day and has been earning him some Oscar buzz.

Visualizing Soft Drink Industry Structure
Head to the nearest supermarket or quick-stop and you'll see the walls of freezer cabinets stacked to the brim with teas, soft drinks, and waters. Some interesting visualizations from Philip H. Howard show how all of the variety is merely in your own perception, with most of the actual product tracing back to 3 big firms.
Three firms control 89% of US soft drink sales [1]. This dominance is obscured from us by the appearance of numerous choices on retailer shelves. Steve Hannaford refers to this as "pseudovariety," or the illusion of diversity, concealing a lack of real choice [2]. To visualize the extent of pseudovariety in this industry we developed a cluster diagram to represent the number of soft drink brands and varieties found in the refrigerator cases of 94 Michigan retailers, along with their ownership and/or licensing connections.

We've read that Xenonauts will not be going into the same sort of UFOlogical territory as X-Com, preferring to chart it's own course. Well, as far as it's able to as pretty much everything that was X-Com was rooted in UFOlogy.
Yet, something was bothering me about the Alien Invaders...
Here we have our crashed Alien ship in Xenonauts, burned into our retinas from too many late night missions. Note the wings taper off behind the main section of the craft.
Now, if you were to thicken those wings and rotate them round towards the front of the craft, just a smidge, you'd get a more bullet-like version of this craft here...
...and here
Now, the thing about those 2 are they are updated images of another craft sighting...way back in 1947. Although not the first UFO sighting, many certainly feel that Kenneth Arnold's sighting in 1947 near the Cascade Mountains pretty much launched Flying Saucers in the public mind.
Pictures completed for Arnold's sightings are below. But really you want to be thinking of how he described it...xenocraft4.jpghalf-moon shaped, oval in front and convex in the rear
remember:Now, questions:-half-moon shaped, oval in front and convex in the rear
- Just when did the Men In Black get to Chris?
- Is the Strategic Planetary Defence Simulator there to prepare us?
- Will Chris' mind implants affect the project?
- Does Chris find being a brain in a jar, in the Sebilian base, affect his social life?
- When will the real invasion start?
- Will my tin foil hat help?
Ironically, the game that tries to steer it's own path is pretty close to the original sighting.

A gently used Pronovias wedding gown that I purchased for my wedding. Cleaned & Ready to wear. The gown was chosen for it's superb lace handmade in Spain.
The lace is intricate. I particularity liked the matte (not shiny) look to it.
The train is very long, as you can see in the picture. The bustle ribbons are all numbered.
The dress size specifications are as follows.
Dress size 4-6
Hemmed to fit 5'4″ with 2″ heels (I also wore two inch boots with this for pictures.)
Bust to fit D-DD
Waist apx 25-28
I found through many many fittings in this gown that there is a bit of give to it. I weighed about 128 when the fittings began and about 136 when we were married and the gown still fit perfectly.
Due to the lack of crinoline, this gown can transport very easily despite it's size. I rolled it up carefully while it was stored in it's bag and transported it across the country for our wedding. I unrolled it and was astonished to see that it looked perfect and didn't require any steaming at all!
The gown is located in Boulder, Colorado.
Paid $2800 for the gown with an additional $1300 in alterations. This is a fabulous deal! I hope someone else can enjoy it as much as I did.
I do have more photos upon request!
- Alterations: The gown was modified to meet my specifications by the master seamstress and owner of Boulder Bridal. It was hemmed, maintaining the gorgeous scalloped and fringed edge of the lace to fit my 5'4" frame.
- Preservation Method: This dress was professionally cleaned and stored in the bag in a clean dry closet. No smoking or pets present.
- Terms of Sale: All Sales Final
- Original Owner: Yes
- Has Original Receipt:
- Location: Boulder, CO
- Will Ship to: Anywhere at Buyer Expense
- Payment Methods Accepted: Other
Please read our BUYER'S GUIDE before purchasing a dress online.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this morning, met with European Union Commission Vice President and High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Baroness Catherine Ashton and said at the start of their meeting:
"Lady Ashton, Catherine, welcome to Jerusalem again. It's good to see you. We have great undertakings to pursue, which include peace and security. I'll start with the security. The elections in Iran will be tested by whether Iran changes its policies and stops all enrichment, takes out the nuclear material and shuts down the illicit nuclear facility in Qom. These are Security Council resolutions. Their feet should be held to the fire. It's not a question of style, but substance. It's not a question of political spin, but the spinning of centrifuges. That has to stop, and I think that it is important that Europe joins the United States and Israel and all responsible elements of the international community, and demand a cessation of the Iranian nuclear program.
The second point relates to Iran's proxy and adjunct, Hezbollah. I hope that those in Europe who refuse to designate Hezbollah as a terrorist organization will change their mind, and I hope there will be a European consensus on this. I mean, it's hard to see how you cannot have a consensus on Hezbollah as a terrorist organization. If Hezbollah isn't a terrorist organization, I don't know what is a terrorist organization. I mean, they're butchering people left and right across the world and now in the cities of Syria. They're murdering civilians without letup, including on European soil, as was discovered in Bulgaria, as they try to do in Cyprus. So I would say the designation of Iran's proxy Hezbollah as a terrorist organization is our second hope that Europe would do, and it would do the right thing.
And the third is the right thing by peace. Secretary Kerry is undertaking an effort to resume direct negotiations without preconditions between the parties. That's the right thing to do. Israel is ready to resume these talks without preconditions today, yesterday and tomorrow. I hope that President Abbas will do the same, and I hope that Europe will support this effort because it's the right thing to do.
So I know that we'll have an opportunity to talk about it. I know you've expressed your opinion on these matters more than once, and I look forward to hearing it again today.
Welcome Catherine."
Baroness Ashton said:
"Thank you. Prime Minister, can I just say what a great pleasure it is to see you, to be back in Jerusalem, back in this great nation, to say first of all that I'm fully supportive of the work that Secretary Kerry is undertaking. I know he's travelled many times already to talk with you, to talk with President Abbas. And as I've made clear, I'm fully supportive of his work. I said this in Ramallah last night, I say it here in Jerusalem, that we want this to be the way forward, to bring direct negotiations and Europe will support that wholeheartedly. It is, as you rightly indicate, the way forward.
I also want to say that it is, of course, vital that you are confident in the security of your country. That is paramount to this country. I understand that and appreciate that, and it plays a big part in the approach that we take to these efforts that are going forward. And I wish you well in so doing.
Prime Minister, we have much to talk about, and I know how important it is to have the chance to consult with you about the situation after the elections in Iran. I'm privileged to lead the negotiations in our twin-track approach. I also recognize that it's important that we consult with those who have a deep interest in this and that we have a chance to think about the broader region on the questions that concern us all and I hear what you say, especially on your concerns about what's happening with Hezbollah. And we will talk about these things.
But more than anything, thank you so much for the welcome to Israel."

TV timing, spring break factors in parade length
Published: Sunday, April 27, 2014 at 11:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, April 26, 2014 at 11:59 p.m.
Q. Are the parades supposed to take as long as the last two have? I am not trying to be ugly, but some floats were literally 10 minutes apart.
A. We spoke with Meghan Tadlock, the N.C. Azalea Festival parade administrator, before the event this year. She said the "ideal" parade duration is approximately 2?½ to 2 hours and 45 minutes. The spacing of the roughly 150 participants is designed to ensure the reigning Azalea queen's arrival at City Hall for a noon television broadcast.
Tadlock noted that while the committee thinks of that point as the "finish line," it could be 12:30 p.m. or later before the procession reaches spectators further down the route.
As photographers for the StarNews, both Matt Born and myself have covered the event for the past decade. Discussions about the event's duration and frequent gaps between entries are nothing new, although one significant factor might have played into the perceived foot-dragging this year.
Tadlock noted that while marching bands are ever-popular participants, spring break for area school systems clashed with the festival's calendar this year, preventing the crowd favorites from performing.

Reading the Tea Leaves at Nintendo
When Nintendo's top brass gathered in Tokyo to speak to analysts Friday, they admitted they had been caught off-guard by the slowdown in Wii demand.
To the dismay of analysts and fans, they did not announce a new Wii console, as some had hoped, or a revolutionary new game.
But they dropped a few hints about where they might be heading
Nintendo's legendary game designer, Shigeru Miyamoto, who helped to create Super Mario Bros., Zelda and a host of other hit games, said a new Zelda game for the Wii will take advantage of the console's Wii Motion Plus controllers to allow for better swordplay. It is being targeted for a 2010 release.
Mr. Miyamoto, who has been asked to stop talking about his new hobbies since many lead to game ideas, said he recently got a cat. He created Nintendogs, a hugely popular game which is based on caring for and training dogs, after being inspired by his experience with a new puppy.
Nintendo's R&D chief Genyo Takeda said he is open to high-definition games. Without speaking specifically about the Wii, which, unlike the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, plays only standard-definition games, he noted that soon all televisions will support high-definition video. As a result, being able to display high-def pictures would be a "natural evolution." Mr. Miyamoto said that high-definition graphics may make sense for a game like Pikmin, a strategy game involving plant-like creatures, but not necessarily for something like exercise game Wii Fit.
When Nintendo offered a glimpse of the Wii Vitality Sensor in June at E3, the videogame industry's annual trade show, the company showed a photo of a solemn Nintendo President Satoru Iwata seated with his finger inside a fingertip-pulse reader. The picture left many in the audience confused. On Friday, Mr. Iwata shed a bit more light on the sensor, saying it would be a mistake to think that the vitality sensor is purely a pulse reader. "It breaks down the many signals of your body and allows you to see the many things about your body that usually you can't see. And then you understand your current condition."

LAS VEGAS, NEV. (January 28, 2013) -- Top Rank's ultra-talented stable ran the table winning all the major 2012 awards from the Boxing Writers Association of America. The BWAA announced on Sunday that World Boxing Organization junior featherweight champion NONITO DONAIRE was the recipient of its Sugar Ray Robinson "Fighter of the Year" award. Donaire (31-1, 20 KOs) won all four of his world title fights last year, defeating Wilfredo Vazquez, Jr., Jeffrey Mathebula, Toshiaki Nishioka and Jorge Arce, the last two by knockout, to extend his 11-year winning streak to 30 bouts. Capping a career-best year, Donaire had already been named the 2012 Fighter of the Year by Yahoo! Sports, ESPN, Sports Illustrated, USA Today and many other websites and newspapers.
Donaire's trainer, former International Boxing Federation junior lightweight champion ROBERT GARCIA, was named the Eddie Futch "Trainer of the Year," for his work with the Filipino Flash as well as with newly-minted WBO featherweight champion Mikey Garcia and undefeated former World Boxing Association lightweight champion Brandon Rios.
"Nonito came into his own in 2012. He will do even greater things in 2013 and beyond," said Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum. "He will become the next big pay-per-view star. Robert Garcia truly deserves the award as 2012 Trainer of the Year. As the best young trainer in boxing, his future is tremendous."
"2012 was a text book year for Nonito," added Top Rank president Todd duBoef. "Four fights against top division leaders and with decisive, impressive performances."
Manny Pacquiao - Juan Manuel Márquez 4, which was co-promoted with Zanfer Promotions, was named the BWAA's Muhammad Ali - Joe Frazier "Fight of the Year." The action-packed battle, which was held at the sold-out MGM Grand Garden Arena and sold close to 1.2 million pay-per-views in the U.S. alone, featured excitement, drama and a one-punch knockout victory by the Méxican icon Márquez.
Trampler, a Hall of Fame matchmaker, is the co-winner of the Barney Nagler Award for "Long and Meritorious Service" to the sport of boxing.
The BWAA Awards Dinner will be held in New York this spring at a venue and date to be announced.
For more information on Top Rank and the BWAA, go to www.toprank.com and www.bwaa.org, respectively.
In my mind, the bigger story here is Arum. Shucks, the dude turns 82 this year and he's still full of **** and vinegar. Back in 2008, I wrote that Don King's influence was greater than Arum because King had his hooks into more fighters, promoted across a wider swath of the globe, and exerted far more sway over the heavyweight division. That was true when I wrote it, but I'd like to retract that observation because Arum had more stamina and has outlasted Don King who, by all accounts, borrowed a leaf from the Tina Turner song: "I don't want to fight no more." (He's certainly entitled; King also turns 82 this year.) The great boxing promoters of the 20th century -- Tex Rickard, Mike Jacobs, Jack Solomons in Great Britain -- all will play second fiddle to Arum in the annals of history. Like him or not, he's a marvel.
Hello Mr Lang. I'd have to agree with you. Arum's body of work is staggering. King may have had a better year or two along the way, (Allegedly helped along by helping himself to just north of $100,000,000.00 of Mike Tyson's money. Settled out-of-court for $14,000,000.00). And as brilliant as Arum is, he knew to surround himself with a great deal of top tier talent. 'All the King's horses' at DKP pale, when compared to the stable Arum assembled at Top Rank.
Da BobFather is da KING! His promotion greatness, all the promoting jesters just hate to SING! Big Money Oscar cooks the books. Don King and the other fly-by promoters are a bunch of crooks. Holla!
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?
