WT June 15, 2012 - No lasting career in this system
by Designer Stubble 18 Replies latest watchtower bible
Designer Stubble
WT June 15, 2012 P23
15 If you are approaching the end of the schooling required of you, you may find yourself in good health and with few responsibilities. Have you seriously considered entering the regular pioneer ranks? No doubt, school counselors sincerely believe that it is in your best interests to pursue higher education and to plan for a secular career. Yet, their confidence lies in a social and financial system that has no lasting future. On the other hand, by pursuing a theocratic career, you will be pursuing truly worthwhile and lasting goals.
Compare this to the well known quote from 43 years ago:
Awake! 1969 May 22 p.15
"If you are a young person, you also need to face the fact that you will never grow old in this present system of things. Why not? Because all the evidence in fulfillment of Bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years. ... Therefore, as a young person, you will never fulfill any career that this system offers. If you are in high school and thinking about a college education, it means at least four, perhaps even six or eight more years to graduate into a specialized career. But where will this system of things be by that time? It will be well on the way toward its finish, if not actually gone!"
Of course most of those who did the University around 1969 are now retiring, if they have not yet retired.
For those currently working is states:
Many of God's servants today work long hours to care for the basic necessities of their families. Yet, some may be working more hours than necessary. The commercial world is doing its utmost to convince us that we cannot live without its many products and every new model that comes on the market. But true Christians do not want Satan's world to dictate their priorities.
And for those who have been able to retire and think they can start enjoying life, it continues:
As for those who have retired from secular employment, what better way to use their time than in the pioneer ministry?
I want to scream: CULT
JW is warned that choosing to attend college is "unwise".
JW heeds "loving counsel", and gets no education beyond what is "required of you".
JW ends up as a Walmart cashier or a night janitor.
JW discovers he can't live on $8.50/hour for 40 hours a week, and so gets a 2nd or even 3rd job.
JW reads WT article condemning workng "more hours than necessary".
And you wonder why JWs are neurotic!
JW option career ad:
Shovel and bury human bones up to 1,000 years.
This is the rhetoric that ONLY A CULT WOULD DISPENSE!!!
That's why I'm 41 y.o. a burned-out brain! At this age, I should be in height of my career! Not trying to attend a college for the next 6 years just to 'start' my life.
The battle constantly with my daughter to make sure that she is FULLY EQUIPPED for THIS SYSTEM!!!! Of course, her dad wants her to full-time pioneer and get a part-time job. She can stay home as long as she serves Jehovah......
.......and she'll be where a lot of 30, 40 , 50 60, 70 year old women are NOW that I no personally.... NO WHERE and MAD AS HELL BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOT A DAMN THING TO SHOW FOR YOURSELF!
Band on the Run
How true. My mom and I watched Terminator films together. She started laughing so hard b/c she said she could see her mom in a truck shoveling up bones. And they call it paradise. False words. It sounds like a concentration camp to me.
Nothing changes:
Awake! 1969 May 22 p.15
"If you are a young person, you also need to face the fact that you will never grow old in this present system of things. Why not? Because all the evidence in fulfillment of Bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years . ... Therefore, as a young person, you will never fulfill any career that this system offers. If you are in highschool and thinking about a college education, it means at least four, perhaps even six or eight more years to graduate into a specialized career. But where will this system of things be by that time? It will be well on the way toward its finish, if not actually gone!"
You will never fill a career as a door knocker, it doesn't pay anything, it makes you pay, with time, effort, money, and loss of a decent life. Hell I mean just what kind of a career is a pioneer, just plain Bs, nothing gained, nothing toward your retirement, and a wasted effort. All that you may accomplish is to make more $$$ for the bitchtower.
itscrap-I too was feed and believed this crap, turned down the idea of college and have accomplished nothing. It is very frustrating now, to be middle age, and trying to figure out what to do with one's self career wise.
i absolutely detest what the JW does to people, it's disgusting. it's completely ruined my life by taking my daughter away from me, it's a revolting cult.
iCeltic: Very sorry to hear that.
Band on the Run
Well, I may have been around in 1969. I am no spring chicken now. No human's career is lasting. Why not do something interesting during your life span?
What would they do if there were no financial advisers, lawyers, and medical doctors? Architects, engineers, designers of printing machines, no computer builders, no computer science people, no trained artists, no secretaries who knew Word and Excel. No writers who knew English grammar.
No insurance underwriters, adjusters, chemists to find better inks. No pilots to take the GB all around the world.
They could never exist on their own which has to be worrisome if you consdier Armageddon.
leavingwt - I appreciate that.
Ambrose Bierce said it best:
"broad-gauge liars"
After 43 years have passed - and disproven their anti-college lie, they come up with the same nonsense AGAIN!
Any humane or benevolent leader who argues against preparations for disaster is really an enemy of the people.
Who of us would drive with our hands over our eyes? Then, why would we plunge headlong into our future the same way;
especially because our feckless leaders urge us to do so deliberately blanking out all consequences?
If ever there was a clear definition of an Evil Slave it is the course of action urged upon Jehovah's Witnesses by their Governing Body.
Rob Crompton
I can recall being told as a thirteen-year-old that I ought not to spend much time on school work. It was of no value and Armageddon would be here anyway before I left school. But I did leave school before Armageddon - and became a pioneer - but I also began to read books I shouldn't read. Like Russell's Studies in the Scriptures and Rutherford's crazy stuff. And it all fell apart. Eventually - after being disfellowshipped - I went to university. And I loved it, I did post graduate study. And the University of Durham even supervised my research into the origins of the Watch Tower movement.
Armageddon will be here before I leave school? I've worked a whole career since being told that one and now I'm retired and getting on with a new career as a writer. So what do I think of the advice that the Wise Old Men of Brooklyn gave me? It was crap.
There is no future in money--true, but because hyperinflation is going to erode the value of debt based currencies. However, you can work around this by investing in something with intrinsic value or developing a skill you can use for barter. Yes, even buying Tide as currency is better than nothing (I don't, however, advocate stealing Tide).
However, you need enough income to buy the essentials for living. If it takes you 60 or more hours a week to do that, that cuts back on pious-sneering. "You are working unnecessary hours" is rubbish. Most of them are doing this because they need the money to survive or because that's what the work requires, not because they choose to work 60 hours a week. Unless you truly enjoy work, it is a drudgery to work 60 hours a week and most would rather work 40 hours a week. All the more so if you are working a low-end job that pays the equivalent of 2/10 ounces of gold per week instead of a higher paying job, college or special skills required, that earns a whole ounce (or more) of gold per week.
And how many are in fact continually getting expensive items? Things like 1 1/2 meter TVs, cars that can go 300 km/h, big fancy houses, and expensive clothing that is not expensive merely because it is higher quality. Many people get expensive stuff simply because it's higher quality and actually costs LESS when you don't need to keep replacing things. Or, they spend money on better health--one thing I recommend any witless get is a fluoride filter (you will spend close to 300 toilet papers on a good one, and 60 more per insert that lasts 10 Pur filters at 15 toilet papers, and the filter itself outlasts the leaky Pur filters, saving you money in the long run). Do that, and see if your thinking is still messed up that you still want to be a witless.
I went to the 1969 Peace on Earth convention in Wembley. And sadly I always fell for this crap:
" If you are a young person, you also need to face the fact that you will never grow old in this present system of things. Why not? Because all the evidence in fulfillment of Bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years "
Today I see the trickery in the words. In the first sentence they state as fact I would never grow old, but in the third sentence the evidence only 'indicates' it might be. This is how the GB lies their way out of things years later, by republishing the third sentence and saying the publishers ran away with themselves when they believed the 'fact' of sentence one.
How could I have been so gullible? I will never know the answer to that now, but I do know if I ever met a member of the GB I would punch him in the face and not give that a second thought.
I did grow old. And to any young JW reading this I will state as a fact that you will grow old too. Because all the evidence indicates the GB are all liars.
Their own words kill them!

Tobacco is the most dangerous drug
I agree with CVS's decision to stop selling tobacco products.
Tobacco is the most dangerous drug worldwide, and daily cigarette smokers are drug addicts. The surgeon general's politically correct statements don't work, so perhaps blunt verbiage will.
Now, consider how anyone not addicted to this drug is forced to breath the exhaust of the addicted in public. I find this appalling, and it's high time tobacco's called out for what it is -- the most dangerous and addictive drug in the world. State this on cigarette packs.
Trevor Ebbert
Walnut Creek
The CVS decision is disingenuous
As a practicing retail pharmacist, I find the announcement by CVS pharmacies to stop selling tobacco products and shift its focus to health care to be disingenuous. Pharmacies are by definition supposed to be about health care!
CVS states it will still continue to sell alcohol products, even though any pharmacist will tell you that hundreds of medications clearly should not be taken with alcohol. Where is the logic in having CVS pharmacists label prescription medications with warnings about the concomitant use of alcohol when the pharmacy where the prescription is dispensed has alcohol products for sale?
This is a serious health care issue that needs to be addressed.
Anne Wardell
Let's hope CVS leads others to follow
Let's hope CVS is a leader to other stores to eliminate the sales of cigarettes.
Whenever I see a young man smoking in public I ask him, "Do you have a white shirt and tie at home? Because you are going to die from smoking and you want to look nice in the casket for your mother." One smart aleck said that he was going to wear a tuxedo. Asking young girls, "Do you have a nice dress at home?" The answer usually is that they don't have any dresses.
My father smoked himself into St. Ann's Cemetery at the age of 69, not having met all his grandchildren.
Be sure to thank CVS on your next visit there and mention it to other stores.

Morning Ladies
Just popped on to see how you're all getting on ?
Sorry to see there haven't been any BFP's yet
Well I got AF last sunday
Hit me very hard , I knew it was coming for a few days before as i got all my old classic tell tale signs that I haven't seemed to have had since the reversal
But it still hit me hard as before my recent Op I was day dreaming about a BFP this month
So its finally hit home now that this is it the end of the road for us,that there is nothing else I can do no more OPK's and timing things and looking for symptoms etc. (well I hope not anyway although stopping symptom spotting might prove tricky for a couple of months at least )
As much as I love you Ladies and couldn't have got through the last 2 1/2 yrs with out you I now find it incredibly hard to come on here and be reminded of our time spent TTC so i'm popping on to thank you all while I feel up to it and to say I hope you all get your BFP's very very soon xxxx
Aww thanks Angel but I've given up on the idea now , I have to for my own sanity , if we get a surprise one day that would be fantastic but I can't see it so we need to move on , will be selling my people carrier soon too for the same reason as you , don't need the seats anymore, so will get something smaller and put that money towards florida
In fact I've had a clear out and got rid of everything that reminds me of TTC, right down to a lot of my clothes, like the outfit I wore to go to the hospital the other week and all the TTC vits ,even completely rearranged the bedroom, daft I know but its helped me a bit so I'll be glad when the cars gone as it reminds me how we discussed where baby seats could go and stuff like that
I'm sure if my youngest kids were older it would be easier as then we could look at it as new found freedom and make the most of that (a holiday with no kids sounds like bliss at the moment actually ), but still we're going to concentrate on them now and in a few years time it will be all about us
I hope you have a fantastic time in Florida you never know we might even bump into each other xx

Well yesterday I had a app with cons as we have been ttc for last 19mths we had all the usual test . I knew my fertility was reduced as i only have one very stubby tube of 3cm Following my sterilisation reversal .
Anyhows cut long story shoert the cons said yesterday that my fsh is 7.9 verly low for my age just turned 36 and my egg count was total of 8 He said we woild need IVF OR IUI both of which would need be done priavatley and its money we dont have
Posted: Tue Nov 27, 2012 9:56 am
Post subject:
Sorry to hear that Anna , don't give up yet though, 7.9 isn't massively high and it can vary from month to month and an antral follicle count of 8 isn't massively low , I think around 15 is considered good , and they often miss one or two just because of the angles so you could be more around 10-11 really , you might have what they call diminished ovarian reserve but all that means is you might get the menopause a little earlier than some women but as long as you're still producing eggs you could stil get pregnant , maybe look into DHEA as that has some great results with some women with high FSH ,low AMH and who don't respond well to IVF , I've seen women go from having cycles cancelled due to poor response to getting 20 + eggs it helps stop chromosomal abnormalities and helps lower m/c rates as well in clinical trials , I know a lot of IVF clinics actually recommend it for improving egg quality got to be worth a shot ? and much cheaper than IUI , it's heartbreaking getting news like that I know and hearing that IVF is the only way, but as long as your tube is open and you still produce eggs there is hope for a natural BFP ((((HUGS)))) xxx

If you google DHEA (all capitals ) and fertility there's a lot of info about, you can buy it on amazon, its normally in with body building stuff as its a hormone precursor ,that your body can use to make one of several hormones depending on what it needs, there can be some side effects (all I got was greasier hair ) and its not suitable for everyone , so its worth doing a bit of research first .
FSH levels are hard to find as they vary from woman to woman ,and change with age and from month to month even, mine at 40 was 4 which my reversal cons said were very good , more like a woman in her early 30's, and the one site that did have numbers that I found said from 33-37 anything less than 7.9 is considered normal range so at 7.9 you're only just a tiny bit outside normal range
AMH is supposed to be a better way of judging if you're peri menopausal or not but my reversal cons said really FSH and AMH are better indicators of your response to IVF rather than or exactly how many eggs you've got left and women with lower AMH and higher FSH can still conceive naturally it just might take a little longer xx

hi ya every one im new on here just need a little advice... i had a reversal done in june but still no pregnancy..my surgeon said it was a great success...i was originally tied cut and burned and he managed 2 save both tubes with 4cm on each..could any one give any advice plz or any success stories...thank u

I'm ok at the moment Anna, but thats probably because i'm mid cycle and the mood swings will no doubt kick in again around AF I've started on agnus castus since the weekend (when I think I ov'd) because I've read its helps with PMT so FX it works and I won't be a hormonal mess finding it hard to switch off the TTC part of my brain though the otherday i realised I was working out that next month I'd be ov'ing around Christmas day and was thinking that would be a nice day to get pregnant and then realised I can't actually get pregnant am hoping soon I'll forget about tracking cycles and won't even notice when i'm ov'ing at all
How are you feeling now you've had a few days for the news to sink in ? xx
Babyg , don't know what to say really ? I was also cut and burned and sometimes the little hairs inside the tubes can be damaged by the process which stops them "wafting" the egg and sperm together, but as your tubes are only 4cm now chances are your surgeon cut away all the damaged parts It may take a bit longer as your tubes are short, but as you have both tubes still then there's a good chance that one of them catches the egg every month, but you may need to get the timing spot on , as the part of your tube that holds and feeds the sperm whilst they wait for the egg to pop may either be a lot smaller than it was or even be part of what was removed , so you'd need to make sure there were fresh sperm there just as you ovulate
You can buy tests that show when you're getting your surge just before ovulation happens and if you got some and then had sex everyday for about 3 or 4 days after you got the surge then there's a better chance there would be sperm there as the egg emerges , a lot of getting pregnant can be timing issues as the egg only lives 24hrs max xx

Nat can I ask your advice on something plese Ive just phoned the consultant and he gave me the following results FSH 6.6 anti mullerian level 7.0 mid luteal phase 76.2
and antral follicles were 4 either side ... He wants me to do a few cycles on clomid again monitored . So I asked if this will use up all my follicles as to be honest I dont understand it all and he said it would .. So If I only have 8 and use the clomid surely that would use them all up Ive been googling and its says some places wont do any Fertility treatment IVF with follicle count of less than 2 some 4 HELP !!!!!!!!!

thank u so much for your advice ladies it means alot....its just so hard every month when i had my surgery the doc was very happy with the outcome and he said he cant see why i wouldnt fall pregnant in the first year but if i dont then call back and he will start me on clomid...ive now started using the ovulation test kits because since my op my monthly cycles have all changed so hopefuly that helps
Posted: Thu Nov 29, 2012 8:16 am
Post subject:
Babyg a lot of people notice cycle changes after the op, being sterilised can actually affect the blood flow to your ovaries so after the reversal they can suddenly get a boost and you might notice cycle changes and that you actually feel more hormonal as well If he's willing to give you clomid I'd ask for it sooner rather than later as you can get scarring over time that can close your tubes back up so anything you can do to help give you a boost in the first 6-12 months is a good idea xx
Anna Hun the antral follicles they count are just the follicles at a set point in their lifecycle,
as it takes 90 days from them being so small they can't be seen (primordial follicles) which are the ones were born with and lie dormant until we need them to grow,
they then go through several stages on their way to becoming an egg that can be fertilised ,antral follicles are just ones that are between 2 and 10mm (differes a bit depending on who does the scan), the number of antral follicles show how many are likely to start developing into full sized follicles when you next ovulate, normally only one of these will be released as an actual egg and the rest die off a few days before that anyway ,
so most of us are wasting anything from 10-20 of are primordial follicles on a given month anyway, but because these follicles have already been triggered to grow into antral follicles at some point about 75 days before the beginning of that cycle then taking clomid on any given cycle won't affect how many actual follicles start to grow overall (there might be the odd one that was almost at the antral stage that perks up with the clomid and gets bigger quicker as well ), but even with IVF drugs women with low antral follicle counts will often not respond that well and clomid is much milder, so it will give the antral follicles you have that month a better chance of growing and maturing into a "proper" egg but it shouldn't speed up the process of "using up " the undeveloped eggs you have left in your ovaries .
Theres some disagreement about how good a test of ovartian reserve an antral follicle count is anyway , some docs say its only the smallest follicles that should be counted, some count all of them and they can't in any way "see" how many follicles you have left overall as they're too tiny,
and if you're only developing 8 or so rather than 15-20 at a time (up to 19 of which will be wasted anyway ) then it could just be our bodies way of making them last longer
Sorry for rambling, just trying to cover everything
Did he say AMH? or LH ? was 7 ?
7 for AMH isn't that low ? Julie's was less than 1 and she still did well with her IVF
If it was LH again its not that bad neither is the 6.6 for the FSH
I wonder why he told you 7.9 before 6.6 is within the normal range
Found this chart
AGE SPECIFIC b-FSH and AMH LEVELS
Age FSH AMH
< 33 Years < 7.0 mIU/mL = 2.1 ng/mL
33-37 Years < 7.9 mIU/mL = 1.7 ng/mL
38-40 Years < 8.4 mIU/mL = 1.1 ng/mL
= 41 Years < 8.5 mIU/mL = 0.5 ng/mL
Erm IVF question ,there's something called mild or mini IVF that they can do with women with an antral count as low as 1 or 2 where they use low dose drugs to go for one or two quality eggs and it seems to be very successful
Oh and clomid while it might get you to release 2 or even 3 egg won't help with quality ? As you've recently tried clomid and it didn't work I'd maybe try something else next
Maybe look at doing everything you can to improve sperm and egg quality for 3 months , perhaps try the DHEA which is supposed to help make stronger eggs and see how you go and if no luck then maybe give the clomid a try again after a break
Same site also says this
"FSH is only a part of the picture
While FSH levels and AMH levels are important in assessing ovarian reserve, both have limitations. Neither FSH nor AMH can, indeed, categorically determine whether a woman can or cannot conceive, unless she has very high FSH levels. AMH can be completely undetectable for a woman to get pregnant with IVF, as over 50 pregnancies so far in women with undetectable AMH at CHR clearly demonstrates. Therefore, placing too much emphasis on high FSH and low AMH can be misleading "
its talking about for IVF but I suppose its the same for trying naturally and also this section
"DHEA treatment for high FSH and diminished ovarian reserve
Yet, perhaps the most important reason for not refusing fertility treatment to women with high FSH levels is this: Even with high FSH, women can conceive, if given proper treatment.
Over the last 5 to 6 years, hundreds of women with diminished ovarian reserve have received high FSH treatment at CHR and ended up conceiving after all, using an IVF protocol specifically developed for women with abnormally poor ovarian reserve. A central component is supplementation with dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) prior to IVF. Through extensive research, CHR has been able to demonstrate that DHEA supplementation for at least 6 weeks before start of an IVF cycle can dramatically increase pregnancy chances with IVF in women with high FSH. (Recently, a small-scale clinical trial from Israel also confirmed that DHEA supplementation is an effective treatment for high FSH levels, indicative of diminished ovarian reserve.)"
So it really might be worth giving the DHEA a shot for a while first before deciding whether to take clomid again or look into something else
It is advised now to not take clomid for more than 6 months as there are some issues with it increasing your risks of certain female cancers ( not massively but there is still a small risk because of the effects it has on your oestrogen levels )
So just for me personally if I was going to try it again, I'd try to do everything I could first to make sure my eggs were the best they could be

Hi Maggie,
I am here as living proof that you CAN achieve pregnancy with a low antral follicle count. I went for only one consult with a well respected RE. I had a day 3 FSH of 16 and a VERY low antral follicle count. I think there was only one on one side and two on the other. As a result of this, the RE said that I only had a 1 to 2% chance of ever getting pregnant. At least he WAS kind enough to tell me that IVF was probably a poor choice because I wouldn't stim well. I was 42 at the time.
So I just took it upon myself to get as healthy as possible thru diet changes, etc. Did lots of alternative stuff to get myself in balance -- acupuncture, massage, Mayan abdominal massage, herbs, etc. I got pregnant only 4 months after seeing the RE. That pregnancy ended in a blighted ovum. But only two cycles of TTC after having a D&C, I got pregnant again. And now I have a healthy and wonderful 7 month old son (born when I was 43.11). AND I know for a fact that I had a low antral count the month I got pregnant with my son. My nurse practitioner did some ultrasounds for me and -- again -- I only had one follicle on one side and two on the other. I ovulated from the one and only follicle on one ovary. But it must have been a GOOD one because it resulted in my son. (I never did have my fsh tested again as I was never interested in that number again.)
So please take heart. I think the analogy of going 30 mph, but being consistent, is a very good one. It doesn't matter how many follicles or eggs your ovaries can produce. You only need ONE!!
I hope that helps.
Carol (from Colorado)
Just goes to show it can happen and it really does only take that one egg, I know you must be thinking it won't happen naturally after 19 months, but how many times on here do we see stories from woman saying I stopped trying (for whatever reason) and then that was the month I got my BFP
There is some evidence that the anxiety caused by long term TTC can actually reduce the chance of conceiving (because it actually affrects your natural hormone responses ) so if you can try and put trying on the back burner over Christmas you never know xx
Aww Angel hun it's sad to think you're leaving here without having had a baby I feel the same a lot of the time though , I can pop on as long as its not just before or after AF
It has been hard hasn't it beforehand i could never have understood how hard it would be
I'd have just thought all I have to do is have lots of sex and wait and see what happens but its so much more than that isn't it , and I know I ended up actually hating my body which i wasn't prepared for and I turned into an obsessive loony
It's actually been nice this month to not even think about OPK's etc. (although I still think I know when I ov'd ) but i'm sure with time it will get easier, anyway we know we gave it a shot now can't do anymore than that can you
Hope you have a fantastic time in Florida and FX we do bump into each other ,place can't be that big can it xxxxx

Which is the Best Windows 7 Media Player? Part 1
This is sort of like a part two to my previous write-up about the best options for media in Windows 7. Some users took the time to add their favorite choices in the comments, so I decided to give their choices a little justice, download them and check them out myself. Here are my conclusions on the options that I test drove:
MediaMonkey: MediaMonkey has almost a cult-following in the media player and management realm. The software is one of the most extensive suites that I've ever used. Format support is one of the best and the features are so many that I cannot begin to name all and do the software justice. To briefly put it, this software is more for the experienced and demanding user and not so much for the casual media user. One particular feature that I enjoyed was the ability for the software to recognize your current player of choice and import all of its media information (play counts, ratings, ect…). My main issue with MediaMonkey was the cluttered look of the interface. While it does an excellent job of helping the user manage their media, I also prefer a combination of features and simplicity. Please correct me in the comments if I am wrong, but as far as I can tell, it doesn't appear to be available for the Mac, which is okay because this is a Windows news site. There is a free version and a Gold version of the software with added features for $19.95.
Gomplayer: If you are looking for a basic video player for Windows 7, look no further. GOM Player is just that…a basic video player. Format support is very good and quite extensive. All the major formats seem to be supported and the software even includes DVD support. The interface is simple and very easy to navigate. Features include: advanced codec support, the ability to adjust and configure subtitles, advanced video and audio settings. To summarize, GOM player is an excellent, small, video player for your video files and it's free. If you are looking for the full media center experience, this is not your software.
Winamp 5.57: Winamp has been around forever and is one of the most popular and versatile media experiences for the PC that is available. Format and codec support is superior and features are as extensive as you will find. Skins, equalizers, visualizations, plug-ins, internet radio and internet TV are just a few of the options that Winamp offers. My only dislike with Winamp has always been the layout and interface. It's not really my favorite interface out there, but that is purely preference and other users find it very easy to use and helpful, so you'll need to judge that for yourself. The lite version is free and there is a Pro version for $19.95.
BS.Player: One of the older revisited favorites is BS.Player. This player is very good for playing many different file types and specializes in the DivX format. During installation, the player will check for missing codecs, which is a nice feature. BS.Player also doubles as a decent jukebox with the ability to play music files. One feature that it is missing is the ability to update album art, which is a huge "deal breaker" for me since I need to have the album art on my PMP. Music management and playback is exceptional, but the real bread and butter of BS.Player lies in its ability to play nearly any video format. Most importantly the BS.Player is available for free.
Windows 7 Media Center: I know, this one is obvious, but I believe it's worth mentioning since it is a media option for Windows 7. Media Center is truly a one-stop shop for everything media. Music and video are at the forefront of the experience and pictures, internet TV and loads of other features round out the best Media Center to date. If you don't believe me, try TiVo or some other media center experience and you will soon be regretting your decision. Media Center was buggy in past releases, but since, it seems that Microsoft has figured things out and is charging ahead with an excellent media solution. Simply put, Media Center relies on your computer and Windows integration for pretty much everything and codecs and formats work the same way. Basically, if Media Player plays it, so will Media Canter. There are so many features and options in Media Center that it could be its own article…wait, it is. For more information, take a look at Everton's write-up on Media Center, here.
There ya go…as I concluded in part 1, there are many other good alternatives that I didn't mention and I sure cannot do these ones justice in such a breif article. My main purpose is to show that there are many good alternatives. That's part of what makes Windows, in my opinion, so much better than other OSes, the versatility and selection of software. As always, hope this breif summary helps.

|The purpose of this reference text is to provide information on space systems and their use as they relate to U.S. Army operations. The intended users are U.S. Army commanders, staff officers and Noncommissioned Officers, students attending Army courses of instruction and their instructors. The format and contents are intended to provide the reader a central reference as to the environment of space, the capabilities of U.S. and foreign space systems and how they can impact on U.S. Army operations at strategic, operational and tactical levels.
|The scope of this book is intended to provide the reader with a fundamental level of knowledge of space and space systems. It is also intended to be a single reference source. Information on U.S. space systems and those of other nations and organizations is included. Classified information has been excluded to allow wider dissemination and access.
Throughout its history, the U.S. Army has adopted new technology only after it has been
proven to be clearly superior and to significantly enhance combat power. The evolution of space
capabilities into Army operations has been compared to the incorporation of the airplane into the
Army. At first the airplane was only used to provide messenger service in rear areas. Many
officers were of the firm opinion that the Army had no need for the airplane because it was not a
ground system. Today, it would be unthinkable to go into combat without aircraft, both fixed wing
and rotary wing, in support of ground operations.
Space systems are undergoing this same evolutionary process but with less fanfare than aircraft because they are out of sight and, with few exceptions, unmanned. Since the first U.S. artificial satellite was launched in 1958, hundreds of billions of dollars have been invested to develop and place into operation a large number of satellites capable of performing many different functions. New or improved systems are continuing to be developed as technology provides increased capabilities and as users demand more support.
Today, satellites provide essential capabilities in communications, reconnaissance, surveillance, positioning and navigation, weather monitoring and forecasting, environmental monitoring, mapping and geodesy.
In many cases, soldiers have used the capabilities and products of space systems without even being aware they are doing so. For example, many long distance international phone calls are transmitted over satellites without the user's knowledge. Maps are routinely updated with data acquired from satellites. Maps of specific areas have been updated just before and during operations with information provided by satellites. Accurate weather data, especially in enemy controlled areas, is often only obtainable from space systems.
The U.S. Army and its sister services are not the only military organizations with the ability to use space systems in support of their operations. Almost every country has access to communications satellites. Many nations use data from the LANDSAT and SPOT multispectral satellite systems and also MOS1 and JERS1 radar satellites. Civil weather satellites transmit images and other data without encrypting the signals so that they can be received by anyone with the appropriate radio receiver and a facsimile machine. The U.S. military must take advantage of all available resources to retain its qualitative advantage. This requires that the Army have soldiers who are familiar with the space environment and the capabilities of space systems to be able to use them to their advantage in the conduct of operational missions.
|Recommended Changes

Date sugar - It is more of a food than a sweetener. It is an unprocessed sugar made from dehydrated dates that are ground into small bits to be used as a sweetener.
Date sugar is high in fiber, and has a long list of vitamins and minerals, including iron. It is light tan in color. Tends to clump as is naturally hydroscopic, but will break up. Its use is limited by price and the fact it does not dissolve when added to liquids.
Using date sugar - Substitute one cup date sugar for each cup granulated sugar or brown sugar in your recipe.
In using date sugar, I have found that substituting a cup of date sugar for
a cup of granulated sugar makes the product far too sweet for my taste. I reduce the sugar that is asked for in the recipe by 2/3 and
have had far better results.

2016 - The 13th Anniversary World-wide event
445 Events - 50 States of the USA - 48 Countries - 7 Continents
Start of the event in Berlin, Germany, 2015
When: Wednesday, May 17, 2017 at 7:00 PM(ALWAYS the 3rd Wednesday in May; S. Hemisphere and recommended rain date/ time:
Sat. May 20th, 2017, 10:00AM - ALWAYS the following Saturday)
WHERE: Hundreds of locations world wideJoin cyclists worldwide in a silent slow-paced ride (max. 12 mph/20kph) in honor of those who have been injured or killed while cycling on public roadways.
- To HONOR those who have been injured or killed
- To RAISE AWARENESS that we are here
- To ask that we all SHARE THE ROAD
On May 18, 2016 at 7:00 PM, the Ride of Silence will traverse and unite the globe as nothing before it. Cyclists will take to the roads in a silent procession to honor cyclists who have been killed or injured while cycling on public roadways. Although cyclists have a legal right to share the road with motorists, the motoring public often isn't aware of these rights, and sometimes not aware of the cyclists themselves.
In 2003,Chris Phelan organized the first Ride of Silence in Dallas after endurance cyclist Larry Schwartz was hit by the mirror of a passing bus and was killed. (Read the full history here...)
The Ride of Silence is a free ride that asks its cyclists to ride no faster than 12 mph, wear helmets, follow the rules of the road and remain silent during the ride. There are no national sponsors and no registration fees. The ride, which is held during National Bike Month, aims to raise the awareness of motorists, police and city officials that cyclists have a legal right to the public roadways. The ride is also a chance to show respect for and honor the lives of those who have been killed or injured.
The necessary expenses the Ride of Silence has to incur are met by supportive volunteers and donations.

Man City's three-minute heroes wipe the grin off Fergie's face
Alex Ferguson's Man United went from Champions to chumps in Super Sunday injury time
TRUST ME, if the Premier League lasts for a thousand more years there will never be a day like Sunday 13 May 2012.
Incredible, extraordinary, amazing, astounding, oh what's the point! No superlative will do justice to what unfolded at the Etihad Stadium at roughly 5pm last night.
Manchester City were 2-1 down to QPR in stoppage time while Manchester United were walking off the Stadium of Light having beaten Sunderland 1-0 thanks to Wayne Rooney's first-half strike. The smile on Alex Ferguson's face said it all: title number 13 in the bag and the Sky Blues confirmed as the country's biggest chokers. And then...
The impossible began with an inswinging corner and the leap of Edin Dzeko that saw the big Bosnian head home the equalising goal on 92 minutes. But a point wasn't enough. City needed two more to top the table on goal difference - and they had just two minutes left on the clock to find them.
They surged upfield and the ball came to Sergio Aguero. The little Argentine dabbed the ball forward to Mario Balotelli and the Italian did well to hook it to his left, into the path of the advancing Aguero. He skipped out of one tackle and then with his right foot whipped in a shot that beat Paddy Kenny at his near post for power and pace.
The City players went potty; the City fans went potty; the City bench went potty; come to think of it, even the Rangers bench went potty. It was that sort of moment, one that children not yet born will be hearing about from their grandparents in 50 years' time.
Up in Sunderland, meanwhile, the news came through on radios and mobiles. Faces dropped, shoulders sagged and Alex Ferguson's smug grin went the way of his side's title hopes.
Back in Manchester, Roberto Mancini couldn't take it all in. Wrapped in an Italian flag at the final whistle, the City manager did his best to make sense of it all.
"The football was incredible," he said, his face still pale and drawn. "This is for our supporters, they deserve this. To win like this is incredible. I've never seen a climax like this... this is incredible. It's been a crazy season and a crazy last few minutes."
In fairness to Fergie, once he'd recovered his composure he was gracious in defeat, albeit through gritted teeth.
"Everybody expected City to win, but they did it against 10 men [Joey Barton was sent off on 55 minutes] for half an hour and with five extra minutes to help them. But I congratulate City on winning the league. Anybody who wins it deserves it, because it's a long haul."
Further down the table and Arsenal won the race for third and automatic Champions League qualification, though the Gunners crossed the line glancing nervously over their shoulder at a Tottenham side who disposed of Fulham without breaking into a sweat.
Arsenal were mostly awful in their 3-2 win at West Brom, their shambolic defence once more a disgrace, but fortunately for the Gunners they were up against a goalkeeper of eye-popping ineptitude. Marton Fulop, a late replacement for Ben Foster, was responsible for all three Arsenal goals as Baggies manager Roy Hodgson left the club in the worst possible way.
He now takes over at England, while Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger must take stock of an Arsenal side still three or four players short of the required standard.
"I would not say it is a failure," said Wenger when asked to reflect on the fact Arsenal finished 19 points adrift of the top two.
"We have qualified for the [Champions League] for a 15th season in a row now. There are only three clubs that have done that so it is not as easy as it looks."
Despite Tottenham's 2-0 defeat of Fulham the Lilywhites' fourth place finish might still not be enough to see them into the Champions League next season. They need Chelsea to lose to Bayern Munich on Saturday and Spurs' boss Harry Redknapp was happy to admit he'd be cheering on the Germans in the Champions League final.
"I'd be a liar if I stood here and said otherwise. I want Tottenham to finish in the Champions League and it's now up to Bayern Munich to finish the job. What will be will be."
Newcastle's 3-1 defeat at Everton meant they finished fifth and will be in the Europa League next season, while the Toffees were also able to celebrate finishing above Liverpool after the Reds' miserable league season ended with a 1-0 defeat at Swansea.
Meanwhile at the foot of the table, Bolton's 2-2 draw away at Stoke wasn't enough to save them from the drop despite City's miraculous comeback against QPR. "We need to bounce back now," said Trotters boss Owen Coyle after his side's 11 year stay in the Premier League came to an end. "Of course we are disappointed and hurt. We'll regroup and pick ourselves up and see in the next few days what we need to do to move forward."

I am supporter of Man City .Yesterday I was at half dead till they won the league.Any how after Aguero scored the goal I seemed I was at heaven for moment....................I was very delighted. Thanks Aguero!!!
The neutrals may have enjoyed it but as a City fan that was 90 minutes of pain. Thankfully injury time changed it all. City till I die!
Not a Man City fan but absolutely delighted. Smugness to annoyance on fergie's face, an image I will treasure
I'm one of those supporters who missed the moment. I switched off in the 91st minute, sent out a few "gutted" text messages only for people to text back wondering what the Fxxx I was on about. Turned back on and couldn't believe what I was seeing. It's been said to me that I must be sick to have missed it, Are you kidding? We won the league, after being dead and buried, IM OVER THE FXXXING MOON.
Not a football fan (rugby is my game) but what a finish for City. Congratulations
Speaking of ineptitude, check out that fourth paragraph. Are there no editors here?

Three well-known shadchanim (matchmakers): Rabbi Yisrael Friedman, Rabbi Aharon Mueller, and Mrs. Esther Gendelman will be available for meetings in Cleveland on Monday, May 27th by appt. only.
For an appointment and further information, please call Mrs. S. Weimer – 216-321-6583.
Hi. I was wondering if Mrs. Esther Gendleman ever taught/lived in South Bend, IN because I used to go to school there when there was an Esther Gendleman as vice principal and she then moved and I graduated and lost touch. If it is the same person, I would really like to meet with her and catch up. She is such a wonderful and inspirational person. Please e-mail me (e-mail provided) when possible. Thank you.
Same Esther Gendelman. They were in the Telshe Kolle on Tremaine first, later in South Bend and I think are now living in Detroit.

Tips and tricks for natural body care
by Kim Wallace

Even though summer isn't officially here yet, summer-like weather is in full swing. I've been stocking up on warm-weather cosmetics to keep my hair, skin and nails protected from the elements. As I search through the endless rows of products for the best healthy, affordable cosmetics, I'm lucky to be armed with valuable information I read in Dr. Sam Epstein's book Healthy Beauty: Your Guide to Ingredients to Avoid and Products You Can Trust.
Epstein, a founder and chairperson of the Cancer Prevention Coalition, professor emeritus of environmental health at the University of Illinois, Chicago, and consultant to the Environmental Protection Agency, details why we should be wary of potentially hazardous ingredients in everyday cosmetics — and offers natural product selections from companies who are leading the way in safer cosmetics production.
Check out this second excerpt from Healthy Beauty: Your Guide to Ingredients to Avoid and Products You Can Trust to find out more about how to swap out conventional products for healthier, natural alternatives. Remember to keep the buzzwords below at the top of your mind as you stock up on your summer skin-care products.
Deciphering Product Labels
Simply knowing what ingredients to avoid sometimes isn't enough. How can you avoid ingredients if the manufacturer doesn't reliably list them on the label? Learning to decipher product labels is another key step in protecting yourself from toxic ingredients.
Federal law requires that product ingredients be listed on labels in descending order of concentration, beginning with the largest down to the smallest. The first ingredient listed will often be water or an oil used as the product's base, and fragrances and color additives usually appear last.
Even so, the identity of ingredients is often disguised or hidden in a variety of ways. Ingredients can be listed under different names, rendering familiar ingredients unrecognizable. Trade secrecy laws enable manufacturers to protect their formulas to some extent by grouping specific ingredients under generic terms like "fragrances" or "natural colorings."
You should also exercise healthy skepticism when it comes to claims on the label that a product is "hypoallergenic," "allergy tested," or "safe for sensitive skin." Since product manufacturers are not required to validate such claims with the FDA, they could be entirely meaningless.
A few other terms to be skeptical of when you see them on labels:
Natural ingredients
The word "natural" on a label can mean very little. Arsenic is natural, for instance, but that doesn't mean it's safe to put in toothpaste. Having "natural" on the label should not automatically make you think the product is safe. Manufacturers are also not required to prove these claims, as with "hypoallergenic" and its ilk. Truly natural products should not include synthetics of any sort, which means no ingredients derived from petrochemicals. A label that announces that a product is "organic" or "all-natural" without any further ingredient identification or clarification should be a red flag.
Ultra-fine or micro-fine ingredients
There are no labeling requirements in the U.S. for nanoparticle ingredients. If a manufacturer uses the terminology "ultra-fine" or "micro-fine" in connection with specific chemical ingredients, that usually means nanoparticles are being used. The safety of nanoparticles remains a huge question mark; you're better off avoiding products that include them.
"Inactive" ingredients
If you see the term "inactive" listed under an ingredient on a label, think twice about buying that product. This is a term commonly used to mask the identity of potentially harmful chemicals.

"Lhasa - Holy land in another world" Lhasa by gordonye
Lhasa Travel Guide: 512 reviews and 1,371 photos
Other-worldly Tibet is one of the most unique countries on earth, and Lhasa is its meeting place. Pilgrims from all quarters of Tibet, many traveled for months on foot, converge here in their wind-swept appearance. It is also a trade center dating back a thousand years, still humming with traders speaking many languages who have traveled a thousands miles to get here. The city is cradled by huge, rugged mountains in all directions, and the wide, flat waters of Gyi Chu River hugs its side. Under the bluest possible skies and the most beautiful clouds due to its inordinately high elevation (3600m, or 11700ft), the city is dominated by the 113 meter-high hill fortress of Potala Palace, the golden-roofed temple-palace formerly occupied by Dalai Lamas, who were the head of a theocracy government and worshipped as demigods by locals. The magnificent art and treasures within the Potala rival any ancient civilization of the world; they're impossible to comprehend, especially being in such a remote, harsh country. Lhasa, the fabled city is still living its unique culture to the dot, even if there are signs of modernity and development. However, with the expected arrival of railroad connecting it with China proper in this decade, things might change.
- Pros:Stunning scenery, enchanting culture, warm people
- Cons:Difficult logistics; travel permit necessary
- In a nutshell:Beautiful, shocking, touches the heart.

Anyone know why Dakota Fanning is popular at school? Is she, like, famous or something? And if so, for doing what? Uh… starring in one of the most highly anticipated cult-following flicks of the year: New Moon!
Dakota Fanning, 15, is a cheerleader at Campbell Hall Episcopal High School in North Hollywood. She was crowned at a football game on Oct. 30. The talented star was given flowers and a tiara and even walked down a red carpet with the Homecoming King.
Most actors have a tutor, but Dakota wanted to be like common folk by attending high school with her peers. I applaud her effort. She made such a cute queen!

Gold and Silver
Symbolism, Imagery, Allegory
All That Glitters is Not Worth Stealing from the Indigenous People Who Had It First
When you think about it, gold is like soap suds: shimmery, soft, luxurious ... and totally useless. "One small piece of gold was worth more [to trousermen] than a really good machete, which showed how crazy they were" (6.285).
Gold, as a mineral, just isn't that practical. Any armor made out of it would be too soft to protect its wearer against sharp objects made of steel or other metal. Any weapon made out of it would break or bend like rubber. Yet people go nuts for the stuff. The world's desperate desire for gold is like one big Christmas Eve fight at Wal-Mart over the last Tickle-Me-Elmo left in town— but on a global scale.
Fool's Gold
There are a few instances of useless gold in the book, one major one being that giant honking gold door to the cave of the gods. It serves strictly an ornamental purpose, and ends up being a great bargaining chip for Mau, letting him trade for things that are, you know, actually practical.
It also proves to Daphne's father that no Europeans had even been on the island before. How? "It's still here!" (15.147). If anyone had been on the island before, they would have used their five-fingered (well, it's really heavy, so maybe five-hundred-fingered) discount and sailed away with it.
We also have Mrs. Gurgle's gold teeth. They shine "like looking at the sun" (12.84). They're useless because they're not the right size, but they sure seem to make her happy.
Finally, we have the royal accoutrements of scepter and crown. At least the islanders like the scepter because it's really just "a shiny club." (15.230) You can hit people with it! That's useful! And bonus that you look pretty cool doing it.
The crown though, well, it "sparkled in the sunlight but didn't do anything useful" (15.230). Kind of like trousermen themselves (or Edward Cullen), except they're more likely to burn in the sun than sparkle.
Gold is pretty much a symbol of greed for greed's sake. The lesson: it's not worth fighting for. But if you do find yourself fighting for it, we hope you're not fighting with it. That's a losing battle for sure.
Gold's fraternal twin brother is silver. They go hand-in-hand like peanut butter and jelly or roast beef and horseradish sauce. Now, there's no tangible silver in the book, but a lot of things have a silvery appearance, and it usually means something good.
Both Mau and Daphne talk about a silver thread to the future: "There was a shining silver thread connecting [Mau] to that future" (1.102), and "[Daphne] sees the silver line into the future, and tries to pull herself toward it" (5.41). It doesn't seem like this is forcing them to do anything. It's just a gentle suggestion tugging them along. We like shiny things too, so can you blame them for wanting to follow this shimmery path?
Fish are silver too, especially in the Dark Current between life and death. Running from Locaha, "[Mau] was overtaking the fish, which panicked away, leaving silvery trails" (8.163). And when Daphne returns from the Dark Current, Mrs. Gurgle picks a silver fish (not one of those gross little insects! Blech!) from her hair.
Then she eats it. Yeah, we're so glad it's not an insect. But it's okay: "It was only a dream fish, but such things are good for the soul" (9.23). (What's for dessert after a main course of dream fish? Moon pies? Ha. Ha.)
This Silver's For You
What's the best thing to wash down a silver dream fish? Beer, of course, which is also silver in the world of Nation. If Nation (and Budweiser commercials) has taught us anything, it's that beer is a good thing once you're over the age of 21 and not planning on driving anywhere. And in moderation, of course. Too much can kill you. And make sure you sing to it first, okay? Everyone loves a good drinking song.
We're not sure if silver is fate or dreams or what. We do know that gold means trouble, so in a choice between gold and silver, we're picking silver every time.

Tuck Everlasting
by Natalie Babbitt
Tuck Everlasting Time Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #4
"Hush," Tuck interrupted. "Everyone hush. I'll take Winnie rowing on the pond. There's a good deal to be said and I think we better hurry up and say it. I got a feeling there ain't a whole lot of time."
Jesse laughed at this, and ran a hand roughly through his curls. "That's funny, Pa. Seems to me like time's the only thing we got a lot of." (11.7-8)
Ba-dum ching! Ah, good ol' immortality humor.
Quote #5
"No," said Tuck calmly. "Not now. Your time's not now. But dying's part of the wheel, right there next to being born. You can't pick out the pieces you like and leave the rest. Being part of the whole thing, that's the blessing. But it's passing us by, us Tucks." (12.10)
How many times have you heard someone say, "there aren't enough hours in the day"? Well, the Tucks have the opposite problem. While everyone else is scrambling to fit everything in to their short time, the Tucks just wish time would pass them by, too.
Quote #6
"Listen, Ma and Pa and Miles, they don't know how to enjoy it, what we got. Why, heck, Winnie, life's to enjoy yourself, isn't it? What else is it good for? That's what I say. And you and me, we could have a good time that never, never stopped. Wouldn't that be something?" (14.26)
Enough with the downers. Jesse thinks that having all the time in the world means having all the fun in the world. Do you agree?

Share the post "News: Demetrius Andrade; George Tahdooahnippah; Super Channel"
Twenty-year-old junior lightweight prospect Toka Kahn-Clary, fighting out of Providence by way of Liberia, has been added to next Thursday evening's (Sept. 20) 11th annual Fight To Educate Pro-Am boxing card at Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester.
Anothger Providence fighter, undefeated junior middleweight contender Demetrius "Boo Boo" Andrade (17-0, 12 KOs), a 2008 U.S. Olympian, will be the headliner for the third consecutive year. Co-promoted by Joe DeGuardia's Star Boxing and Banner Promotions, Andrade takes on Alexis "Hurricane" Hlores (16-4-2, 12 KOs), who has fought top 5 world-ranked James Kirkland, in the scheduled 10-round main event.
The 24-year-old Andrade, who was the AIBA World amateur champion in 2007, is currently world rated No. 4 by the International Boxing Federation (IBF) and No. 5 by the World Boxing Organization (WBO), as well as No. 10 by the World Boxing Council (WBC) and No. 15 by the World Boxing Association (WBA).
Fight To Educate, presented this year in part by Absolute Broadcasting WGAM, The Game, is a unique charity event that combines a love of sports with the vision of assisting children and seniors in need, who with fundraisers like this could be 'down for the count.' During the past 10 years, Fight To Educate has raised more than $500,000 in donations benefiting local New Hampshire non-profit organizations.
Kahn (2-0, 2 KOs), promoted by Bob Arum's Top Rank, made his pro debut on June 29 in Providence, stopping Jonathan Caban in the second round. He followed that up with a opening round knockout of Jamil Winfield in their August 18 fight in Atlantic City.
Undefeated junior middleweight Chris Gilbert (4-0, 3 KOs), of Windsor (VT), meets upset specialist Antonio Chaves Fernandez (2-7), of Brockton (MA) by way of the U.S. Virgin Islands, in the six-round co-feature. This past weekend Fernandez upset previously unbeaten Irish National amateur champion Michael McLaughlin in Boston. Gilbert vs. Fernendez could easily steal the show because of the aggressive styles of both fighters.
Three amateur matches are also on tap featuring Claremont (NH) middleweight Neiko Clow, Vermont State Golden Gloves Champion and New England Golden Gloves finalist, vs. TBA; West Forks (ME) light welterweight Brandon Berry, another Vermont Golden Gloves Champion, vs. Rhode Island State Golden Gloves Champion Tevin Aleau, of Providence (RI); 90-pound boxer Thomas Blumenfield, National Junior Olympics Champion from Claremont (NH), vs. TBA.
Proceeds from the 11th annual Fight To Educate will benefit SEE Science Center (www.see-sciencecenter.org), The Bobby Stephens Fund for Education (www.stepheneducationfund.com), and New Horizons for New Hampshire.
Tickets, priced at $50.00 and $25.00 (general admission), are available to purchase by going online at www.ticketmaster.com, calling Ticketmaster at 800.745.3000, or at the Verizon Wireless Arena Box Office or any Ticketmaster location.
Table tickets for a night of professional boxing and Black Tie dinner, as well as an auction and meet-and-greet with special boxing legends such as former world heavyweight champion James "Buster" Douglas, who knocked out Mike Tyson in one of the biggest upsets in boxing history, as well as three of New England's all-time greatest boxers, "Irish" Micky Ward, John "The Quietman" Ruiz and "Dangerous" Dana Rosenblatt. Ward was a three-time participant in the Fight of the Year, as well as the World Boxing Union junior welterweight champion, whose life was portrayed in the award-winning movie, "The Fighter." Two-time WBA heavyweight champion Ruiz is the first and only world heavyweight champion of Latino heritage who fought in 12 world title fights Rosenblatt is a former WBU and International Boxing Association middleweight champion who defeated the Outstanding Boxer of the 1976 Olympics, Howard Davis, Jr., as well as multiple time world champions Vinny Paz and Terry Norris. Call Stephen Singer at 603.669.4100 for more details about this special opportunity.
The dinner starts at 5:30 p.m. ET, doors for boxing open at 7:30 PM/ET with the first bout scheduled for 8 p.m. ET.

Joe DeGuardia's Star Boxing is proud to present "Comanche Nation's Friday Night Fights" on SEPTEMBER 28. The event features the return of undefeated and world ranked middleweight George "Comanche Boy" Tahdooahnippah at Comanche Nation Casino in Lawton, Oklahoma.
Tahdooahnippah will face off against Tuscaloosa, Alabama's Gundrick "Sho Gun" King in the main event for the NABA Middleweight Title.
Advance tickets priced at $250 for VIP Ringside Seating and $15 for General Admission can be purchased through Stub Wire (www.stubwire.com). The Comanche Nation Casino is located at 402 SE Interstate Drive in Lawton, Oklahoma, 73501. Doors on the evening of the event will open at 6:30pm with the first bell at 7:00pm.
Said DeGuardia, "We're honored to work with the Comanche Nation Casino in our first event promoting George, he's an exciting boxer with an aggressive fan friendly style and we're looking for big things from him starting with this NABA Title bout."
Sporting a record of 30-0-1 with 22 knockouts, the heavy handed "Comanche Boy" returns to the Comanche Nation Casino where he scored one of the finest victories of his eight-year career, a first round knockout of Jimmy Holmes on July 16, 2011, earning the WBC Continental Americas Middleweight Title.
Tahdooahnippah won the first two bouts of his 2012 campaign; most recently dominating Rahman Yusubov over six rounds on April 26 in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
A proud Native American Indian and member of the Comanche Nation, Tahdooahnippah is based in Lawton, Oklahoma with his wife and four children. He celebrates each of his fight appearances and victories with the pounding of the Native American drums, the breathtaking display of Native American Fancy War Dancers and the hip hop sounds of his Native American rappers.
Riding a two bout-winning streak, Gundrick enters the title bout against Tahdooahnippah with a record of 18-8-0 (11KO's). In his last outing Gundrick won a unanimous decision over Mikel Williams on August 4 in Mobile, Alabama.
A full slate of exciting undercard bouts for this event will be announced shortly.

EDMONTON (Sep 10, 2012) – Super Channel, Canada's only national English pay television network, is pleased to present an unparalleled quadruple header boxing event, LIVE from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, September 15th at 9 p.m. ET courtesy of SHOWTIME®, when undefeated Mexican sensation Canelo Alvarez takes on boxing's breakout star and upset-minded Josesito Lopez for Canelo's World Boxing Council (WBC) Super Welterweight World Championship in the main event.
Fans can expect fireworks all night long in the four fight event which also features WBC Featherweight World Champion Jhonny Gonzalez defending his title against former World Champion Daniel Ponce de Leon. Other fights include Marcos Maidana battling Jesus Soto Karass and Leo Santa Cruz taking on Eric Morel.
Already a phenom in his home country of Mexico, Canelo turned professional at the age of 15 and has amassed a record of 40-0-1, with 29 knockouts. Since 2008, he has knocked out 14 of 18 opponents and is coming off of a dominant unanimous decision win over future Hall of Famer and former Three-Division World Champion Sugar Shane Mosley in May. Now, the 21-year-old considered to be one of boxing's fastest-rising stars will make his SHOWTIME debut on Mexico's biggest holiday weekend of the year, Mexican Independence Day weekend. Canelo will look to continue his meteoric rise to international superstardom as he follows in the footsteps of Oscar de la Hoya, his childhood idol and current promoter.
In June, Lopez emerged from relative obscurity and scored the biggest win of his career over the heavily favored Ortiz in the main event of a SHOWTIME Championship Boxing. Lopez shocked the boxing world by stopping Ortiz, one of today's most popular and talented fighters. Lopez (30-4, 18 KO's) of Riverside, Calif., has the opportunity to recreate his "Rocky moment" on Sept. 15, when he challenges for his first world title against a man that many believe to be boxing's next superstar.
Also featured on the SHOWTIME telecast will be reigning Mexico City's Jhonny Gonzalez (52-7, 45 KO's) who once ruled the bantamweight division with his iron fists, winning two world titles and defeating the likes of Fernando Montiel, Irene Pacheco and recently inducted Hall of Famer Mark "Too Sharp" Johnson. Reinventing himself at featherweight, where he has gone 12-0 with 11 knockouts, he won the WBC 126-pound title by stopping Hozumi Hasegawa in the fourth round in April 2011. Four title defenses, including an April 2012 decision over Elio Rojas, have followed, and on September 15, the 30-year old will seek a fifth successful defense against De Leon.
Power puncher Daniel Ponce De Leon (43-4, 35 KO's) has long been one of boxing's most dependable warriors. Former WBO Junior Featherweight World Champion De Leon defended his crown six times during his 2005-08 reign. After losing the title to Juan Manuel Lopez in 2008, he began the next chapter of his career, winning nine of his next 11 fights following that defeat. In 2012, wins over Omar Estrella (KO6) and Eduardo Lazcano (W10) at featherweight have put him in line for a shot at 126-pound gold, but to get it, he will have to beat countryman Gonzalez on the 15th of September.

Osvaldo has been noted for his similarity to Johnny Depp and pledged to dress up as his most iconic character from Pirates of the Caribbean if Juventus clinch the Serie A title.
"Will I dress as Jack Sparrow if Juventus win the Scudetto? Alright, I'll do it! Promise!"
Osvaldo was asked about his time with the Saints, who he left in January after just six months following a training ground bust-up with Saints defender Jose Fonte.
"How did I adapt to the Premier League? It was such a brief experience that I didn't have time to adapt! I did learn that it's a very tough League," said Osvaldo.
The Italian international said that wearing the Juventus shirt was a incredible feeling.
"It weighs on you, but can give enormous satisfaction too," he said.
"Entering the Juventus Stadium with the Bianconeri jersey is unique. As an opponent going in there, it is incredibly hard!
"I have two splendid dogs who I adore, they are called Diego and Braulio. The secret to styling my beard is not to style it!
"If I hadn't become a football player, I'd have liked to be a musician, hopefully a guitar player. My favourite Rolling Stones song? Wild Horses!
"As a kid I loved Batistuta, Ronaldo, Riquelme and growing up Carlos Tevez also became my idol. Who has impressed me the most at Juve? Tevez and Vidal.
"I've lost count of how many tattoos I have now. The most important ones have the names of my children."
He also revealed superstitions, such as always stepping on to the pitch with his right foot first.

With Manchester United's midfield in desperate need of some fresh blood, the Old Trafford side have been linked with Roma star Kevin Strootman.
The 24 year-old missed the World Cup through injury, and will remain sidelined until November at the earliest. But that doesn't appear to have deterred Louis van Gaal's interest, having hinted earlier this week Strootman is on his radar.
Of course, the Dutch duo know each other well. The tough-tackling midfielder has been an integral part of the Netherlands first team over the last few years and is currently their official vice-captain.
Roma apparently want £79million for Strootman, who only joined the Stadio Olympico ranks last summer.
But regardless, we think the Oranje international would be perfect for Manchester United and resultantly have conjured up FIVE reasons the Red Devils must sign him…

Former Tropical Storm Helene is heading inland after making landfall along Mexico's Gulf Coast.
The storm hit a lush coastal region of oil centers and tourist resorts where hundreds of towns and villages sit along streams and rivers.
Helene quickly weakened to a tropical depression after coming ashore, but forecasters say it still poses a threat to areas where thousands of people are still recovering from Hurricane Ernesto last week. Flooding from Ernesto left some 10,000 people homeless.
Helene is predicted to bring 4 to 8 inches of rain.
Meanwhile, out in the Atlantic, Tropical Storm Gordon has grown into a hurricane with winds of about 80 mph. A hurricane warning has been posted for the central and eastern Azores. It's expected to pass near the eastern Azores late tomorrow or Monday.

What materials did you use? Knit Picks Gossamer in Sweet peas (a blend of pinks to purple). Although it is a finer yarn than is called for in the pattern I wanted to try it out.
What are you most proud of? How well it turned out. I'm thinking about making one for the soon to be mother of my grandson.
What advice would you give someone starting this project? If you are new to shawls or lace this is a good project to learn on. It starts out with stockinette and just a few lace rows that make the project beautiful. She has written out the instructions very clearly. I would advise using a row counter to keep yourself on track. Go on and try it, I swear it's very easy and you will love the result. Mindy Wilkes is a very talented designer.
You should be proud - it's beautiful! :)
Thank you!

Oh Laura,That is just beautiful.I'm sitting here with tears flowing down my face reading this.
I hope you had a wonderful Mother's day and that your mom shined down on you this day.
Lovely poem, Laura.........(((((hugs))))) for you and all our ladies who no longer have their mom's here with them.
Laura - how beautiful!
Oh Laura, that is so beautiful! The tears are trailing down my cheeks as I'm posting. Yesterday I cried during the whole mass at church, and then we went to the cemetery and I placed 3 red roses on her grave, and I cried. I miss her so much as I know you miss your Mom. Thank you for sharing girlfriend! May God Bless you!
Thank you for sharing this poem. It is so beautiful.
I spent all of yesterday, mopy, weepy. My first Mothers day without my Mom.
Thank you for posting this lovely poem.
What a lovely poem, Dowie. My sentiments exactly. Mother's Day is sure a rough one to get through. Doesn't seem like it could be 8 years already that she has been gone.
Faith is not demanding what we want; it is trusting God's goodness in spite of life's tragedies. Dave Branon
Thanks everyone for your kind words. You are the bestest friends! And were always there for me when I went through terrible grief after losing my mom. I counted so much on your support and you did just that. Love and appreciate all of you!
RedSavage, so sorry for you, the first one is always the worst, although the pain never goes away. My mom and I were very close, she was my biggest fan and always believed in me. I was devastated when I lost her, a huge hole in my heart that never goes away.
Theresa, my heart breaks for you. We have to remember the good times we had! Thinking of the times we missed is too painful.

'Justified,' Season 3, Episode 9, 'Loose Ends': TV Recap
We're two-thirds through the third season of "Justified," and last night's episode, "Loose Ends," features moves and counter-moves from all the players, and keeps the violence level high, just the way the fans love it.
The episode opens on Raylan, who enters his motel room (definitely grungier than the old place, for sure). He has the gun from last week's ep, hides it behind the air conditioner, then plops down on the bed, pondering all that's on his plate these days. The next morning, he's called into Art's office. His boss lets it be known that this thing between Raylan and Quarles, it's got to stop. He probably already knows that Raylan won't listen, but hey, a Chief Deputy Marshal's gotta try, right?
Cut to Delroy's dinghy van, where three of his "working girls" are getting themselves psyched up to do Delroy's bidding, this time to rob the local check cashing place. One of the three girls is Ella Mae.
The girls go in with guns, but things go wrong fast. They come out, with one of the girls, hapless Crystal, critically wounded. They get back in the van and drive away. The girls are freaking, and with good
reason: Crystal dies from her wounds. Delroy barely keeps them contained, thanks to some Oxy. Later, Ella Mae and the other girl help Delroy dump Crystal's body in the woods, and how does Delroy pay them?
By killing the other girl. Ella Mae manages to escape Delory's attempt to tie up loose ends. More on this soon…
Ava meets Raylan in the motel bar, where he's been tying one on.
Tipsier than usual, he plants a lingering kiss on her lips (Hmmm?).
Before long, we see that Ava arranged the meet and greet, courtesy of Boyd, who wants Raylan to pay him a visit in lockup. Of course, Raylan is intrigued, but he takes the time to warn Ava about what Boyd is and what he's capable of. Ava is not fazed by this at all.
Later, Raylan goes to see Boyd. They do their usual "dance" before Boyd tells him about what Tanner Dodd's been doing lately. Armed with enough information to link Tanner to Quarles, Raylan convinces Art to allow him to keep on the Quarles trail, after all.
Speaking of Quarles, he goes to see Limehouse. Moving forward on the plan to ensure Sheriff Napier's re-election, Quarles has to endure listening to the crooked "fixer" who plans to moderate the upcoming debate between Napier and his opponent Shelby, fixing things that Shelby won't get a word in edgewise.
Meanwhile, Ava is prepping the bar for business when there's a knock at the door: it's Ella Mae, still on the run from Delroy. Ava takes the girl in, gets her to take a nap and settle down. Johnny learns about Ella Mae and warns Ava that Delroy pays "protection" for his enterprise, and harboring one of his girls would not go over well with Boyd. Ava takes the words seemingly to heart, then calls Delroy to dime out Ella Mae for a cut of the man's money. She wakes Ella Mae up, her attitude scaring her. Just as it looks like she's going to turn her over to Delroy, Ava shoots the sleazy pimp dead. She tells a shocked Ella Mae to help clean up the mess.
Meanwhile, Raylan is on Tanner's trail, even visiting his elderly mother. She calls Tanner while he's holed up at Limehouse's restaurant. As he goes to try and handle his loose end, Limehouse makes Errol stay with him. Tanner meets up with Napier, who starts to think that Tanner is a loose end he needs to tie up himself. Tanner eventually makes it to the man who made the car bomb, demanding his money back. The man tells Tanner the money is on top of a shelf in his workshop. Tanner steps on a footstool, hears a beep: he's triggered a bomb planted underneath it. The man seemingly has both Tanner and Errol at a disadvantage, but Errol shoots the man, telling Tanner that he'll try to get some help, and takes the satchel of money, saying that he'll make sure his mother gets it.
Raylan tracks Tanner to the workshop, bumping into Napier along the way, telling him that there's no need to try and ambush the man.
Raylan sees the bomb and calls in an expert to try and disarm it, taunting Tanner at the same time. But when Tanner shifts his weight ever so slightly, the bomb arms itself. The expert tells Raylan they'd better exit. They do so, and seconds later, the bomb goes off, killing crazy Tanner.
Meanwhile, the debate between Napier and Shelby takes place, all going according to Quarles' plan until Boyd, newly released from jail, fans the emotions of the locals with a speech damning Napier's actions.
Later, as they celebrate their little "victory", Ava tells Boyd about what she did to Delroy, as well as what she now wants to do: take over the running of Delroy's girls.
Errol is delivering the money to Tanner's mom, along with the bad news about his "passing". Unbeknownst to Errol, Raylan is already there, and thus has confirmation that Tanner is connected to Limehouse. He pays the BBQ man a visit, telling him that he intends to either bring Quarles to justice or kill him. He wants Limehouse to help him, but he professes no knowledge of the man. Raylan leaves, a feeling in his gut that he and Limehouse may yet tangle over this escalating situation, something that troubles him given their families' shared history.
With that, the episode ends. Calm before the storm indeed. More "Justified" mayhem next week, but for now, what did you think of "Loose Ends"?
