Marquez vs Fedchenko, Rios vs Abril: Top Rank/HBO PPV
LAS VEGAS, NEV. – Méxican legend and three-division world champion JUAN MÁNUEL MÁRQUEZ and undefeated former World Lightweight Champion BRANDON "Bam Bam" RIOS will headline a world championship pay-per-view event that's so big its main events are originating from two different countries!
Márquez will go for an historic fourth world title in as many different weight divisions when he takes on World Boxing Organization (WBO) European junior welterweight champion SERGEY FEDCHENKO for the vacant WBO interim 140-pound world title. Márquez-Fedchenko will take place in México City's brand new Arena México. Rios will attempt to reclaim his old title when he rumbles with Cuban gladiator and World Boxing Association (WBA) interim lightweight champion RICHARD ABRIL in a battle for the vacant WBA lightweight title, Saturday, April 14, at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. The Márquez/Rios world championship event will be produced by Top Rank and distributed Live by HBO Pay-Per-View®, beginning at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.
The live pay-per-view telecast (SRP $44.95) will also feature a 10-round junior welterweight collision of top-10 contenders -- "Mile High" MIKE ALVARADO and MAURICIO HERRERA -- and open with undefeated Top-10 contender MERCITO GESTA of the Philippines, in a 10-round lightweight fight. Boxing fans at Mandalay Bay will also see the Márquez-Fedchenko world title fight live, via closed-circuit, on a jumbo screen.
These warriors boast a combined record of 173-9-4 (110 KOs) – a winning percentage of 94%.
Promoted by Top Rank, in association with Zanfer Promotions, Tecate and AT&T, remaining tickets priced at $250, $150, $100, $50 and $25, not including applicable service charges, are available at all Ticketmaster locations (select Smith's Food and Drug Centers and Ritmo Latino). To charge by phone with a major credit card, call Mandalay Bay at (877) 632-7400 or Ticketmaster at (800) 745-3000. Tickets are also available for purchase at www.mandalaybay.com or www.ticketmaster.com .
At a Miami, Fla. press conference earlier this month, the setting for this fight was set when Abril challenged Rios to fight him for the title. As the verbal exchange heated up, Abril slapped Rios across the face, screaming "You aren't a real champion!"
"Rios won't need a GPS to find me on April 14. All he'll have do to is look up and see the referee holding my hand up in victory," said Abril.
"He may not have thought I was a real champion when he slapped me but he's going to know I'm a real champion on April 14 when I knock him on his South Beach," said Rios. "I do give Abril credit for one thing. I know he's going to show up for this fight. That will be his second mistake with me."
"We have four great fights that will make for a very exciting event, including a legend from México in Juan Mánuel Márquez and undefeated knockout artist Brandon Rios who is trying to recapture his world title," said Todd duBoef, president of Top Rank. "The dual-site pay-per-view event will open at Mandalay Bay with Gesta, followed by Alvarado vs. Herrera and the Rios-Abril world title fight. The grand finale will send boxing fans to México City where they will get their first look at the brand new Arena México, and a projected full house, on hand to witness Márquez's attempt at history. Top Rank owes a great deal to its sponsors, Mandalay Bay and HBO for its continued support of our event."
"With Juan Mánuel Márquez, Brandon Rios and Mike Alvarado all on the same fight card, boxing fans can look forward to a night of non-stop action", said Mark Taffet, senior vice president, HBO Pay-Per-View. "We're delighted to provide the pay-per-view distribution for this event."
Rios (29-0-1, 22 KOs), the former WBA lightweight champion, from Oxnard, Calif., enters this fight having won 10 of his previous 11 fights by knockout. Highlight victories on his resume include Miguel Acosta, Anthony Peterson, Urbano Antillon and John Murray, none of whom went the distance. Abril (17-2-1, 8 KOs), a Cuban expatriate who now resides in Miami, Fla., returns to the ring having won seven of his previous eight fights. He captured the WBA interim lightweight title last October, knocking down former WBA lightweight champion Acosta three times en route to a unanimous decision victory.
Márquez (53-6-1, 39 KOs), of México City, is one of only a rare few from México to have won world titles in three different weight divisions. The only man to go the distance with pound for pound superstar Manny Pacquiao three times, Marquez boasts a Hall of Fame resume highlighted by victories over Marco Antonio Barrera, Manuel Medina, Joel Casamayor, Juan Diaz and Michael Katsidis. Fedchenko (30-1, 13 KOs), from Kharkov, Ukraine, enters this fight riding a 28-month winning streak, which has included WBO European title victories over Willy Blain and Demarcus Corley. He is world-rated No. 5 by the WBO.
Alvarado (32-0, 23 KOs) of Denver, has won 10 of his last 12 bouts by stoppage en route to a career-high No. 3 world rating, in the World Boxing Organization (WBO). Notable knockout victims include Breidis Prescott, Ray Narh, Emmanuel Clottey and Cesar Bazan. Herrera (18-1, 7 KOs), from Lake Elsinore, Calif., enters this fight riding a two-year, five-bout winning streak, highlighted by victories over Ruslan Provodnikov (17-0) and Mike Dallas, Jr. (17-1-1). Herrera is currently world-rated No. 7 by the International Boxing Federation (IBF).
Gesta (24-0-1, 12 KOs), a native of Cebu, Philippines, fights out of San Diego. He returns to the ring with seven of his last 10 victories coming inside the distance, earning career-high world ratings of No. 7 in the WBA and No. 8 in the WBO.

Feb 2, 2012 - The Indianapolis Colts haven't had anyone with the permanent position of defensive coordinator since Week 12 of the NFL season, when Larry Coyer was fired mid-season after the Colts' 12th straight loss. After an offseason house cleaning of most football-related staff, the Colts have reportedly hired a new defensive coordinator to serve under new head coach Chuck Pagano. According to Alex Marvez of FOXSports.com, the Colts will give the position to Greg Manusky.
Manusky served as the defensive coordinator for the San Diego Chargers this past season, but was fired from that position. He was the San Fransisco 49ers defensive coordinator for the previous four seasons. Manusky has been an NFL coach since 2001, when he took a job as the Washington Redskins' linebackers coach after a successful 12-year NFL career as a linebacker. Manusky replaces Mike Murphy, the former Colts linebackers coach who was named interim defensive coordinator after Coyer was fired. Murphy has since left the organization.

ESPN Major League Baseball
In the hunt.
Sega's first baseball game under the ESPN moniker plays well enough to recommend to anyone looking for a solid simulation of America's pastime (well if MVP Baseball 2004 is sold out, anyway). But it also demonstratesas well as any title you may have ever played in any genrehow one single, seemingly subtle element can really affect a game's tone. In ESPN's case? Crowd noise.
Imagine this: Randy Johnson stares down Andruw Jones in a pivotal win-or-lose moment. But there's no excitement to be heard from the sold-out crowd. Aside from a single heckler who insists that Andruw learn how to spell his name, you only ever hear a light roareven when the ball is hit. As a result, you simply don't feel all that enthralled. If fact, moments of lesser magnitude sometimes cause downright boredom. (Don't even think about saying "how realistic," you baseball-hating communists out there.)
Luckily, ESPN has enough going for it to make up for any occasional yawns. For one, it handles baserunning and fielding better than any competitor. The franchise mode is deep enough, and hitting and pitching function as well as you'd expect. And save for the occasional weird glitch (most notably, when an infielder acts as though he's about to catch a line drive that actually zooms right over him), ESPN comes mostly bug free.
But really, what's with the Confidence meter? How can Roger Clemens' meter be at rock bottom when he's winning 11-1? And the first-person baseball feature? Don't even think about it.
Do think about giving ESPN a whirl, though. You'll like it if it doesn't put you to sleep first.

Comfortable and cleanThe only thing I disliked were the ice cold pastries, the weak coffee and juice. Do not recommend the continental breakfast.Rating:4
We will be backGreat view of the ocean, right across the street! Shopping is very close. Breakfast is very simple muffins and coffee, juice but overall a very nice placeRating:3
Its okayWe stayed for two nites here, the room was "okay", the view from the bottom floor room of the Ocean wasnt that great, theyre were trees blocking the view, but, you were close enough that you could listen to the waves crash on shore. The rooms werent too impressive but, they were funtional and comfortable enough, as long as you dont expect too much. The free breakfest consisted of a muffin and coffee.Rating:4
Good Night StopoverGood hotel for a stopover and is convenient to all the other businesses in this small town.Rating:4
The only hotel I stay in.Excellent view of ocean from upper floors. The sound of the ocean to sleep by at night, and the relaxed atmosphere make the Crown Pacific my favorite place to stay in Depoe Bay.
Travelers tip on local attractionsWhale watching from your private balcony.Rating:4
clean and good locationRoom was clean and well maintained. Bed was ok, Pillows were kind of thin. Good Depoe Bay location. Close to Lincoln City and Newport.
Travelers tip on local attractionsClose to Lincoln City and Newport.Rating:5
Great view at a lower costA great find for us and a place we will return to on our next visit.Rating:4
would recommend to othersThe mattress was not great for me, but I have back problems, so I am picky. Husband liked the bed. Room cleaning was at a minumum. The maid asked if I wanted it cleaned and I requested clean towels and some more coffee, she brought these while we were gone, but left the bed unmade, empty bottles around etc., did not clean up the room at all,(i.e. full trashcans) Staff was very friendly, hotel is in great location and easy to get too.The gas fireplace was a bonus, when it got cold. Would recommend to other travellers. Pleased with stay.
Travelers tipgood location for entertainment and conducive to reaching the coast line across the street.Rating:5
Vary nice.The people are vary nice.
Travelers tip on diningThe Tidel Rave,just across the street,was awsome.Rating:2
Not impressedThe Crown Pacific Depoe Bay did not impress us in our recent stay. The hotel has added many "features" to attract including in-room jacuzzi, swimming pool, and continental breakfast. However, the quality of these features is lacking. The hotel is right on highway 101, the walls are thin and you can hear your neighbours TVs. The bathroom floor was not very clean. The continental breakfast was percolated coffee and very sweet muffins. Unless you are booking late and need to stay in the area, we would recommend looking elsewhere for a good nights rest.
Travelers tip on local attractionsOther than the hotel Depoe Bay is a very cute, family oriented seaside town. Both Lincoln City and Newport are within comfortable driving distance. There are seals in the harbour who are often thrown fish scraps. The rugged beachs attraction is "spouting horns". We saw a whale blowing air in the water.Rating:4
Nice and cozyThe only real complaint we had was that there is no air conditioning. This is not uncommon on the Oregon coast since it is rarely warm enough to warrent air conditioning. Unfortunately for us it was one of those very warm windless coast stays. It was beautiful outside but the hotel room was so stuffy and the only way to get fresh air was to leave the slider open at night and hope for a breeze.

After arriving at my fiance's house, and upon checking my account history, I saw a charge of $20.00 from a business called Custom Teleconnect, located in Las Vegas, NV. I did some digging online and found their website (which is catered towards businesses looking to install payphones and pay for their connection services), a listing of their fee schedules (again, designed for the businesses looking for their services), and at least one filed complaint against them by a general consumer for the exact same thing.
I will take this up with my bank immediately, and have them dispute the charge. I can see paying up to $5.00 for the service to connect me - the gas station was in the middle of nowhere, and my fiance's # carries an out-of-state area code - but $20? I don't even have a word for how insane that is. Ridiculous, ludicrous, obscene, outrageous, unheard-of, outlandish, jaw-dropping, and criminal also seem not quite enough to describe this charge.

Vital Signs: Income Gets a Lift Thanks to Government Assistance
The 0.3% increases in personal income posted in January and February look positive for the future of the consumer sector until one looks at what's driving the gains.
Almost half of the increase in personal income in the past two months has come from bigger government transfer payments even though that category only accounts for about 16% of all personal income (adjusted for employer and employee payrolls taxes paid).
Much of the surge in transfers reflects higher Medicaid spending as more people are covered under the Affordable Care Act. That extra spending has more than offset the decline in unemployment checks once extended-jobless benefits ended. After the ACA enrollment period ends, the lift to income should dissipate.
Compensation of employees—mainly paychecks–has grown at a slower pace, reflecting weaker job growth and minimal pay raises. A more balanced consumer sector will depend on wages and salaries growing at a faster clip in coming months.

Terminally ill teenager Stephen Sutton died on Wednesday at the age of 19.
On Tuesday night, his family revealed his condition had "deteriorated" to the point where he could no longer communicate himself.
Stephen - who has raised more than £4million for charity - was re-admitted to hospital on Sunday evening after suffering breathing difficulties.
We'll bring you all the latest tributes and reaction to the sad news here.
We're bringing this live blog on the death of the inspirational Stephen Sutton to a close, but you can look back at all our coverage of the amazing teen's journey here.
That includes details of Stephen's moving final interview before his death at the age of 19; the tributes paid by those who knew him well, and celebrities who were inspired by him despite only meeting him a handful of times; and the lessons we can take away from his wonderful positive attitude and legacy.
At the time of writing, his fundraising total stands at just over £4.1 million - a quite incredible achievement.
RIP Stephen.
Lots of people have been calling for a permanent memorial to Stephen to be placed somewhere in Birmingham.
An application for him to be remembered on the city's Walk of Stars will now be considered this summer.
Mike Olley, manager of Broad Street where the Walk is based, told the BBC: "We are always happy to take suggestions for the Walk of Stars.
"Many people have nominated Stephen now and I am delighted to put this before the committee."

In Birmingham's Victoria Square, people have also created their own tributes to Stephen in chalk on the paving stones.
One read: "If half the world's people cared half as much as Stephen the world would be 100% better #RIPStephen"
Another quoted the 19-year-old:

People have also been leaving messages, balloons, flowers and tributes outside Chase Terrace Technology College this morning, where Stephen was a student.
His former head teacher, Dr Stuart Jones, said yesterday Stephen was "the most exceptional person I have ever known".

Tributes continue to come in for Stephen.
This morning, musician Example tweeted to say what an "inspirational young man" Stephen was.
RIP Stephen Sutton. What an inspirational young man— example (@example) May 15, 2014
More details on the news that Stephen's fundraising total has now topped an amazing £4 million can be found here.
The money will go to the Teenage Cancer Trust.
Speaking after his death yesterday, the charity's chief executive Siobhan Dunn said: "Stephen was an exceptional young man and ambassador for Teenage Cancer Trust. He will be remembered for his incredible positivity by all who met or connected with him.
"Stephen didn't measure life in time, preferring instead to measure it by the difference someone makes. Stephen has made an enormous difference to Teenage Cancer Trust and the seven young people diagnosed with cancer every day who need our help."
The total amount raised on Stephen's JustGiving page has now topped an incredible £4 MILLION.
Cash has continued to pour in for his fundraising effort since his death yesterday, with the donations now standing at £3,551,193.
With Gift Aid of more than £450,000 on top, the total raised is currently £4,002,463.93.
In his final interview, conducted last week but only published last night, gutsy Stephen declared: "You only get one shot at life. I need to make every second count."
He told The Sun: "I smile because I have a lot to smile about. I've seen a lot, achieved a lot — and had a lot of fun doing it too.
"I've realised that you only get one shot at life. I need to make every second count. I firmly believe that you should have the same motto.
"But don't rely on tragedy to have a good time. Make positive changes today.
"When you look at the positives of life, there is so much to enjoy, there is so much to be excited about."
Stephen's bravery and dignity won his fundraising campaign the support of a host of big names.
He was pictured with stars from the worlds of politics to comedy, including PM David Cameron.
Stephen's story has become a global phenomenon.
One of the many media groups to pick up the story is the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
Let's hope Stephen's story inspires thousands of other youngsters from across the globe.

We are within touching-distance of the £4m mark on Stephen's JustGiving page.
If you feel inspired to donate visit the page now at: http://www.justgiving.com/stephen-sutton-TCT/eurl.axd/8be3235a513f284e8f57c88ac01edd60
Let's push the total past £4m.
'Miss Moneypenny' actress Samantha Bond has paid tribute to Stephen.
She has also called for more donations to his JustGiving site.
Come on - if you haven't done so already it is time to put your hand in your pocket for a good cause.
In memory of the incredibly brave brilliant and bright #StephenSutton please offer support to @TeenageCancer His story touched so many lives— Samantha Bond (@SamanthaBond) May 14, 2014
Rock legend Roger Daltrey paid tribute to Stephen last night.
The Who frontman, 70, told The Sun: "The courage of the boy was amazing. Stephen became an inspiration to teenagers around the world.
"His short life will have an impact for years to come. It is very hard for the family but he was so resilient.
"You'd never think he was so ill. He had incredible spirit and encouraged other teenagers not to hide away from the illness.
"The world needs examples like Stephen so teenagers can get the treatment they need."
In his final interview, conducted last week but only published last night, gutsy Stephen declared: "You only get one shot at life. I need to make every second count."
He told The Sun: "I smile because I have a lot to smile about. I've seen a lot, achieved a lot — and had a lot of fun doing it too.
"I've realised that you only get one shot at life. I need to make every second count. I firmly believe that you should have the same motto.
"But don't rely on tragedy to have a good time. Make positive changes today.
"When you look at the positives of life, there is so much to enjoy, there is so much to be excited about."
With Gift Aid added - we are just a few pounds away from the £4m total for Stephen!
The tributes continue to pour in for Stephen.
Those leaving messages on Twitter and other social networking sites are united in admiration for what he achieved, and for his bravery.
For many, young people in particular, he was an inspiration.
So very sad to hear that Stephen Sutton has passed away. He was a very brave person and an inspiration to millions. RIP #StephenSutton— Chris Buckle (@MrChrisBuckle) May 14, 2014
The tragic news that Stephen has died has led to a further flurry of donations to his JustGiving page.
The amount raised has passed the £3.5m mark and could hit £4m by the end of the evening - four times the target Stephen had originally set himself.
What a tribute to him it would be if the £4m mark was surpassed.
Here's our front page for tomorrow's paper.
A fitting tribute to a courageous teenager who was taken too soon.
Yellow ribbons have been put on the gates of Chase Terrace Technology College where Stephen was a pupil.
This touching message was posted on a wall of remembrance set up at Stephen's former school.

I've been searching hi and low for a plugin that allows me to display my .co.uk domain for UK visitors and the .com for US visitors on the SAME blog. Most of the content for both regions are the same, but some articles and pages may be slightly different.
Basically, this plugin appears to pull in all the data I need to add this functionality to my blog so I was hoping you could explain how I could achieve this.
I have noticed your looking for ways to use this data and I think this is what you should do. Basically, I cannot find a plugin that does this. There are plenty of TRANSLATION plugins that are similar but I don't need to translate anything. I just need a localizing plugin to distinguish between US and UK visitors and offer the correct domain extension for each. Plus, it's crucial to also have the option to have different content on the same page depending on the region a visitor is from.

Acute bronchitis and

people with acute bronchitis are at risk for getting pneumonia. Although
acute bronchitis usually goes away within a few weeks, pneumonia can be a
serious condition, especially in older adults.
The following table
outlines some differences between acute bronchitis and pneumonia. There are
variations in symptoms of both conditions, so if you think you might have
pneumonia, always check with your doctor.

Posts Tagged 'Napoleon'
Staff Picks: Cairo, Cruising, Chrissie, Kmart
October 9, 2015 | by The Paris Review
"How many reasons have I for going to Moscow at once! How can I bear the boredom of seven months of winter in this place? … Am I to be reduced to defending myself—I who have always attacked? Such a role is unworthy of me … I am not used to playing it … It is not in keeping with my genius." Thus Napoleon in 1812 in Lithuania, on the eve of his disastrous Russian campaign, which would destroy the French army and cost more than a hundred thousand French lives. The whole time, Napoleon's aide-de-camp Philippe-Paul, Count de Ségur, was taking notes. His inside account of the debacle—now known in English as Defeat—was a best seller when it appeared in 1824 and became a key source for War and Peace. Readers will recognize scenes from Tolstoy's novel, but Ségur's Napoleon is, if anything, even more vivid, because Ségur loves him and believes in him even when his genius lets him down. —Lorin Stein
The carnival that erupted in Cairo's Midan Tahrir in 2011, and continued in one form or another for two and half years, has spawned any number of books and films. Maybe because the initial skirmishes were so chaotic or because the outcome of the revolts is still unclear—although a Thermidorian reaction now stretches into the foreseeable future—a documentary approach to this history has often seemed like the best one. Matthew Connor's book of photographs, Fire in Cairo, goes in a wonderfully different direction. Taken during the spring of 2013, prior the ouster of Islamist president Mohamed Morsi, Connor's photos are aslant and at times surreal. The violence of the revolts is present, even omnipresent, but as a mood rather than something concrete to look at. His shots, which have no captions, are full of fog, lasers, and common Cairene objects made mysterious through close-ups. There is also a gallery of portraits, many of whose subjects have their faces covered—by veils, helmets, or homemade gas masks. The effect of the book, for me, was to make the revolution strange again; it brought me back to that exciting time when none of us knew quite what we were looking at. —Robyn Creswell Read More »
Elusive Epigraphs; Travel Books
September 2, 2011 | by Lorin Stein
Dear Mr. Stein, May I take advantage of the hospitality of your letters column to ask if you or your readers can help me to solve a small puzzle? I have come across an epigraph ascribed to Proust that heads the first chapter of Hamish Miles's English translation of Édouard VII et son temps by André Maurois (King Edward and His Times, London: Cassell, 1933, p. 1). It reads: "Every social status has its own interest, and to the artist it can be just as compelling to show the ways of a Queen as the habits of a dressmaker. —Marcel Proust." An excellent colleague of mine remarks that this certainly sounds genuine, and he even wondered if the aperçu came from the bit in Le Côté de Guermantes where Proust talks sniffily about grocers writing aristocratic novels, but I am afraid it is not there. Now we find that the epigraph is nowhere to be found in Maurois's original French text, so the plot thickens. Much as I am tickled by the idea of an industrious and I daresay underappreciated translator recklessly concocting a spurious epigraph for the purpose of self-promotion, or worse, something tells me that there is an alternative explanation. So can anyone, do you think, identify these lines about "the ways of a Queen" and "the habits of a dressmaker," and pin them on Proust? Thank you, Angus Trumble
We all hoped it was made up. But no. The epigraph comes from "An Historical Salon," an essay—really, a celebrity profile—that Proust wrote for Le Figaro in late 1902. His subject is the Princesse Mathilde Bonaparte, a niece of Napoleon's and the last Bonaparte to remain in Paris after the fall of the Second Empire. She was known for her literary salons, which included Mérimée, Flaubert, and the Goncourts. In the sentences you quote, Proust has just finished his you-are-there description of one of the princess's soirées and he's gearing up for the mini bio (which, in the case of Princesse Mathilde, is slightly delicate, since she left her first husband, a Russian tycoon, for another man, with the connivance of yet another uncle: Czar Nicholas I; it's good to know people).
As translated in F.W. Dupee's edition of Pleasures and Days, the entire paragraph reads:
An artist will serve the truth only, and have no respect for rank. In his portrayals he will take rank into account as a principle of differentiation like nationality, race, or environment. All stations in society have their interest for an artist, and it is as exciting for him to picture the ways of a queen as the habits of a dressmaker. Read More »

If you haven't figured it out by now, I have a passion for history. In fact, that's part of the reason I was drawn to journalism. Newspapers, it's been said, record "the first draft of history."
In 1879, the founder of this newspaper, Russell Kistler, did more than just write the "first draft." He also made history. Unfortunately, part of his legacy can be found in the divisions that helped define Las Vegas.
This letter is in response to conversation in the community, as well as the article in the Optic describing the vandalism in our local cemetery. There have been many who are attempting to make a connection between Reies Lopez Tijerina and his "followers" to the vandalism.
THUMBS DOWN - MEDIOCRE MONSOONS. Despite this week's rain, the monsoon season has been a disappointment. We need much more moisture to offset dismally dry conditions.
Meanwhile, other parts of the country are suffering from extreme temperatures, with heat indexes rising as high as 130 degrees in parts of the Midwest. While we'd like to believe that this is just one of those super-hot summers, we fear it's the new normal. Earth may indeed have passed the "tipping point" toward global warming.
Stopped at the Plaza Park to see what all the gathering of people and dignitaries was all about. Found out the mayor was proclaiming the day Reies Lopez Tijerina Day and was giving him the keys to the city. What?
I remember the '60s and the '70s. All the protests in the South led by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I admired his fight for civil rights. I remember too Mr. Cesar Chavez fighting for the farmworkers' rights. I greatly admired their courage to accomplish their goals by means of nonviolence.
In the last six years my water bill has gone up $15. I use less than 2,000 gallons, the minimum amount of water, and I don't use city natural gas. Contrary to popular belief we live in a rather poor community, with working poor, disabled and seniors on limited and/or fixed incomes, and to impose trash bills combined with land taxes, I think is prejudicial. Please find other ways to collect on unpaid trash bills!
Traffic lights are not only expensive to install, they are a significant source of accidents to motorists and pedestrians. A modern signal can cost taxpayers between $80,000 and $100,000 to install. Plus the cost of the electrical power to operate a signalized intersection 24 hours a day, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation, is now averaging about $1,400 per year.
It has come to my attention that administration and the School Board at the Mora Independent Schools is talking about closing the swimming pool and making it into a bus garage. In my opinion, this is the worst mistake anyone can make, and the community should protest.
The swimming pool is the only form of recreation that is available for the children in the community. It's because of the children that the Mora Independent Schools gets funding.
The House Interior Appropriation Committee has passed a spending bill that would mean fewer protections for species at risk of extinction, more pesticides in our waters and less funding for our national wildlife refuges and other crucial conservation priorities. This bill is an attack on the natural treasures that are our children's and grandchildren's inheritance.
We must protect God's creatures and their environment, as they do not have a voice, and are not given a choice.

Doesn't Last Long
By Rugrat Referee
from Bay Area, CA
describe yourself Parent of Two or More Children
There are a number of these on the market, and the general consensus is that they don't last long. The motor burns out quickly, sooner than the batteries will die. This will happen sooner if your child likes to keep pushing the button and letting it run OUT of the water. We've gone through two of these. Now they are just toys to play with that don't do anything special.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

my daughter loved this toy and used it every bath for about two months. then it stopped working all together. we changed the batteries but still didn't work. It's a cute toy but I wish it lasted longer.
It didn't work!!

It didn't work! It didn't light up at all - don't buy it.
Lasted about 2 months
By Super Momma
from Texas Baby!
My girl loved it while it worked. The only thing my daughter did to the toy that I consider rough is push it all the way under the water. Other than that it didn't take any abuse. It worked for 2 months then would come on and turn off at random. The power button didn't work after the first 2 months. I waited for the batteries to die and now it's just a happy face on the ledge of the tub. I hate to throw it away because it is so cute! Anyway, my girl still likes to push it underwater so it does serve a purpose.

Too Cool!
By dp
from LA
This is just way too cool. It is a mini water fountain for the bath (or pool, etc). We've used it for over a week, at least 30 minutes a session, and the batteries are still going strong. The water spouts about 6 inches into the air. Kiddo loves her mini "shower". The only down side is that the light in the middle flashes brightly and is annoying. Would be really nice to have the option to turn it off.
Insert 3 AAA batteries. Depress button on front of product to activate. Turn off product when not in use.

Weaning is the process of switching a baby from breast-feeding to bottle-feeding, from breast- or bottle-feeding to a cup, or breast- or bottle-feeding to solid foods.
Weaning may take a few months or more than a year. It begins when a baby starts eating solid foods, at about 6 months of age. It ends when the child no longer breast-feeds or takes a bottle.

Historical Traveler Reviews Art Nouveau Palace Hotel Prague
Major Hotel Find in Prague
This hotel was everything you could have wanted in Prague. Beautiful and elegant with extremely helpful staff and over the top fabulous Maitre D. For those of you who appreciate Fawlty Towers, he is Basil Fawlty at his best. Rooms were very large and spotless. Lovely bathroom, big mini-bar, robes, slippers, turn-down service, excellent breakfast, bar, restaurant (eat here. you will love it). Located five minutes from Wenceslas Square, 10 minutes from everything. Secret restaurant to try - best in Prague - was in the Radio Free Europe building next to the state opera house five minutes away. Look for horrible ugly building next to opera, then go around back. There are steps to take you under highway so don't risk the crossing like we did. You won't be disappointed!
Brilliant Hotel
We went to this hotel from the recommendations from this website. We were not dissapointed. The hotel was lovely. The hotel staff all spoke english and were very helpful.
The rooms were very comfortable and very large. The location of the hotel is excellent and is close to all attractions in Prague!.
We never onced used the public transport as the loaction is very central.
Breakfast was excellent to and the staff are very attentive.
If we came to Prague again, I would stay in the hotel again!
A really excellenyt hotel
We stayed at the Prague Palace (The Pearl of Prague) for four nights in July 2004. The hotel is perfectly situated near Wenceslas Square and so is ideal for the underground, the shopping and as been mentioned, the Mucha museum.
The public rooms are luxurious, the bedrooms large, well appointed and kept spotless by the staff.
The staff are probably the jewel in this hotel's crown. They are friendly, happy to help, speak excellent English and are honest to a fault - I accidentally left �20 in my room on checking out... when I returned a few hours later the money was waiting for me... and that was probably a week's wages for a chambermaid!
Check out the bar U Cipu in the alley beside the hotel... some of the cheapest beer in town... 17 Czech Crowns for a half litre! And being Czech beer the quality is beyond question.
Enjoyed the Palace
We stayed at the Palace in June 2004 for 3 nights. The location is good - directly across from the Mucha museum and one block from a metro stop. The rooms need a bit of updating but old luxury is still very nice. The room was large, very clean and comfortable with a nice bathroom. We had some problems with water temperature but it could have been the local system.
Our first night the hotel sent us a bottle of Bohemian Sekt and a couple of beers with matching glasses as a welcome gift which was a nice surprise. Some of the food on the breakfast buffet was a bit tired but the staff was happy to bring you whatever you wanted if you asked.
Great Value
We stayed at this hotel for 4 nights in April '04. We booked direct with the hotel, and were charged 125 Euro per room per night, including breakfast. We were quoted anything between 125 and 386 Euro per room per night from other firms. The room was very clean and spacious.
Breakfasts were very good. They were buffet style, and included everything you could think of. This hotel is in a great location, with most attractions within walking distance, although there is an underground station 2 minutes walk away. Excellent value if you get the room at a decent price.
Excellent hotel - great value for money
Cannot recommend this hotel too highly. We spent 4 nights here in February 2004. Among the highlights was the exceptionally good buffet breakfast served in a beautiful and spacious breakfast room. Or room was excellent also. Could not fault the location - opposite the Mucha Museum - but very tranquil inside. Will return to this hotel again.
You couldn't get anything better!
Stayed at the Hotel Palace from 1/10/04 to 1/12/04. It was an incredibly beautiful hotel perfectly located in Prague. Short walking distance to everything you would want to see. Rooms were absolutely clean and comfortable. Great size. Overwhelming hospitality. The breakfast that was included was fantastic. The concierge would bend over backwards to help you get that perfect tour or tickets to a local concert. Easy access to the airport. I can not say enough about this place. I would stay there again in a heartbeat. The price was right and a great find. I am so happy with this place that I have recommended it to my family and colleagues. You will love it, I promise. ---Mike in Durham, NC
A beautiful hotel in a wonderful city!
We booked hotel through Affytravel on the internet, and got an extremely good price: 124 Euro per night in a big, exclusive and comfortable room. The hotel has a great location, in the middle of everything; walking distance to the old town and Wenzceslas' square.
The hotel is old, but well kept, and the bathroom was huge - the bathtub had room for two people! This 5 star hotel - with this grate offer - gave us 100% value for money.
Prague Palace Perfection
Excellent hotel in a central location in Prague. Situated just off Wenceslas square. Couldn't fault it and realy enyoyed my stay there can,t wait to go back. Has Sauna and massage (highly recommend) but no gym. Athough free access to state of the art fitness studio was within 5min walk.I had originally booked into another hotel in Prague but didn't like it. phoned them at 9 a.m. and was quoted price of 160 euros which was great value. Stayed for 2nights. Staff were helpful and friendly and all spoke english, good at booking tours and telling you where to visit how to get there etc. If I asked anything they dealt with it right away. Breakfast was a full buffet with with everything you could want and more, such as cakes and pastries which I left alone.
The room was spacious ,well furnished and quiet. All in All one of the best 5 stars Ive stayed in. Sheer luxury and perfection in a beatiful romantic set.
Wonderful stay in Prague
Very nice hotel. I would stay here again without a doubt. Rooms were spacious, very clean and bright. Great location to center of town. You can walk to a lot of sites, shopping etc.. Excellent choice.

Read an Excerpt
HOME - A DOWNSIDE GHOSTS STORY (Chapter 1)
Most--no, all--of her cases started the same way: A homeowner or building resident called the Church to report a haunting. The Church assigned a Debunker to the case to investigate the haunting and hopefully disprove it, to make sure the person in question wasn't just faking in order to get a nice fat settlement in exchange for the Church's failure to protect them from the dead.
After all, just because the population was smaller thanks to Haunted Week twenty-four years before, when the ghosts had risen and killed every living person they could, and just because the Church of Real Truth was in charge now, didn't mean people didn't still need money. They did. Just like Chess. She needed money for food, for rent, for the electric bill and the cell phone bill and all of those other things. And of course for drugs: the things that made her life worthwhile.
So Chess worked, and she worked hard, and she'd handled a lot of cases and gotten a lot of bonuses for disproving a lot of hauntings. But she'd never had a case before where a neighbor called the Church to report the ghost and the homeowners insisted there wasn't one.
She'd rather not have the case. It was probably a huge waste of time; time she could be spending with Terrible, in his big gray bed. Just thinking about him made her smile, sent a cheerful little shiver up her spine. Love was terrifying, and weird, and sometimes uncomfortable. But it was so fucking sweet.
It was also going to fuck up her concentration if she didn't stop thinking about it. With effort she tamped down the heat rising in her chest, reached into her pillbox and popped a couple of Cepts to help chase the feeling away.
The street looked like any other in Cross Town. Like any other street in any of the suburbs of Triumph City, really, or any in the District. Houses with smooth blank faces, all of them alike, watching each other across a wide expanse of concrete, two shiny cars in each driveway like weapons laid out on a table before them. So living-the-good-life. So upwardly mobile.
So rotten. The people living inside those assembly-line buildings were people who gave a shit what others thought of them, and that made them dangerous. That made them people who'd sell out their mothers if it meant getting into the right person's address book.
Chess knocked on the pale blue front door of number 422, a bland two-story with peaked windows and a tiny afterthought of a front porch. The woman the door revealed when it opened looked like every self-satisfied suburban real-estate agent Chess had ever seen. The scent of smug drifted from her in waves.
"Mrs. Brent?"
"I'm Chess Putnam, from the Church. You made a complaint about a haunting--"
"Yes, yes, get inside. Hurry, please." Mrs. Brent's clawlike fingers wrapped around Chess's upper arm and pulled, exhibiting the sort of wiry strength Chess usually associated with desperate speed-pumpers on a long run. Chess almost stumbled over the threshold; Mrs. Brent slammed the door behind her.
The second she flipped the lock, Mrs. Brent's entire manner changed. Her face didn't move--Chess didn't think it was capable of that, not with all the surgeries and injections the woman had obviously had--but her shoulders relaxed, her back straightened.
"There. May I offer you a drink, Miss...Parkman, did you say? Are you related to Judge Parkman, by any chance?"
"It's Putnam, actually. No, thank you, I don't need a drink. Why don't you just tell me about the ghost? What made you call the Church?"
Mrs. Brent motioned Chess into the wide living room to the left, so full of beige it was almost invisible: the interior design equivalent of a bowl of porridge. The couch was comfortable enough, though, especially when sweet opiate peace started drifting through Chess's bloodstream from the Cepts she'd taken outside.
"I've been watching them." Mrs. Brent sat too close, leaning in. Like she and Chess were pals or something. "I've seen the ghost. In their kitchen one night. In the living room another. All hours of the night it's wandering around in there, glowing just like it has a right to be there. Just like it isn't disgusting to--"
"How did you see this?" The last thing Chess needed was for Mrs. Brent to go off on an indignant little tangent. The sun had just started to set and the Runners were playing at Chuck's later, and she was going to meet Terrible there and needed to get ready first. The sooner she left Mrs. Brent's self-righteous pseudo-mansion the better.
The woman colored slightly beneath her stiff, ultra-frosted blonde hair and matching stiff, ultra-frosted makeup. "My kitchen windows face their house. I've been working on tracing some more ancestors lately--we go back over two hundred and fifty years, isn't that wonderful?--so I've been in there working, making tea and such, you know. And from my desk there I can clearly see that ghost running around their house. It's terrifying."
Finally. "Can I see the kitchen?"
"Of course."
Chess followed her down a hallway lined with posed family photos: Mrs. Brent, a balding man running to floridity and fat, two kids with toothy grins. Typical family. Typical house. So average they could move out and another family could move in and no one would even notice. Just being there made Chess itch.
"See? Right here. This is my desk."
Not so much a desk as a section of granite countertop without a cabinet below, really, and two small drawers. Neat stacks of paper sat next to a closed laptop computer. The Brents were online, then. Good. Chess made a quick note in her pad: Check internet records re Brents. It wasn't unheard of for people to conspire together, after all.
"When I sit here I see right through their windows, see?"
Right through was a bit of an exaggeration. Mrs. Brent wasn't that much taller than Chess's own five-foot-six, and Chess had to hold herself in a hunched sort of squat over the chair as if it were a public toilet in order to see the Solomon house. So Mrs. Brent was nosy. Not a surprise.
"I saw it more than once." From her stack of papers Mrs. Brent produced what appeared to be a list, all typed out on plain white paper, printed in a "cheerful" font in bright green ink. "I've noted all the dates and times here, as you can see."
Chess scanned it, pretended she cared. "Can I take this?"
"Of course, sure. That's going to help you, right? I can testify. I'm ready to testify anytime. Those Solomons, her with her jingly jewelry and her tacky long skirts, and him, he's some sort of...some sort of hippie, or something, he owns some organic store or something. Just look at their cars."
Chess couldn't. The house blocked them. Nor could she see in any other windows of the Solomon home, which belied Mrs. Brent's statement, but whatever. Busybodies liked to exaggerate. It made them feel important. "Are there any other windows that face their house?"
"Just the landing."
"Can you show me?"
Mrs. Brent kept up her stream of brittle chatter as she led Chess back down the hall and up the stairs--not about the Solomons anymore, but about the country club and some ball being held there, and her children's school, and whatever other shit Chess didn't give a fuck about. But from the landing Chess could indeed see into the Solomons' living room, which Mrs. Brent termed "ghastly," presumably because the Solomons had used colors that didn't match their skin tone.
A little blue sportscar sat out front. That must have been the vehicle that annoyed Mrs. Brent, although Chess couldn't figure out why. She supposed it looked like some sort of superfast threat, but only to someone who didn't know anything about real cars. What it actually looked like was a midlife crisis. Terrible's Chevelle would leave that thing in the dust.
"When they had their parties, people parked all over the lawn. Our lawn, too. Sometimes they'd leave tire marks. And--"
"Parties? They do that a lot?"
"Almost every weekend until a month or so ago, I think. Sometimes they have their parties in the dark, too. If you know what I mean." Mrs. Brent's mouth twisted in disapproval.
"They were having...adult parties?"
"I suppose you can call them that. All sorts of people, about a dozen, and they'd play music for an hour and then the lights would go off, and all we could see was maybe a little bit of light. And then everyone would leave a few hours later. I'm not complaining, but you tell me what normal kind of party only lasts until ten or eleven at night."
How the fuck would Chess know? She'd never been invited to a party in her life, at least not as a guest. As a child--before the Church found her and made her a witch, made her one of them, gave her a real life--she'd been the entertainment at a few, sure, but she'd stopped looking at the clock early on, when she realized the hands only moved slower when she paid attention to them. And in Downside, where she lived, eleven at night was practically dawn. Things were just getting started.
"Is there anything else you can tell me, Mrs. Brent? Have you noticed any strange sounds coming from the house? Have you experienced anything--chills, things moving without you having moved them, feelings of being watched, that sort of thing?"
Mrs. Brent shook her head. "How can I keep that from happening? I have two children, Miss Pitman. I don't want them in danger just because the Solomons live like hedonists."
"Putnam. And I'm afraid there really isn't, no. They don't tend to drift much, though, not when they're on their own. If there's a ghost--"
"If? I've seen it. I know it's there."
"If there's a ghost, it's probably there for a reason. Some sort of connection to that house or that piece of land. That's what we usually find, anyway. So chances are it won't drift over here."
Mrs. Brent followed Chess back down the stairs. "So when will you get rid of it? How long will that take?"
"I have to prove its existence first."
"But I know it's there. I saw it. You know, my husband went to school with Javier Ramos, the Elder, and I'm sure when he tells Javier about your refusal to--"
That was it. Chess stopped short on the stairs and fixed the woman's plastic face with a dead-eye glare. "Mrs. Brent. I am following Church procedure, and Church procedure in these situations is very clear. Elder Ramos will tell you that himself. I assure you I'm going to do everything I can to keep you and your family--and the Solomons, and everyone else--safe. But it can't be done in a day. Okay?"
Mrs. Brent sniffed. "Well, that's fine, but I hope you have a resolution to this soon. I have a very important dinner party the week after next and I can't risk something happening that night."
Right. Never mind the possible deaths or anything. Never mind that ghosts were basically just killing machines and if the Solomons had one it was only a matter of time before the thing built up the strength to attack them, Mrs. Brent's social standing was on the line. Another typical thing about this typical woman, and Chess was starting to choke on the thick fog of snobbish conformity polluting the air.
"I'll keep that in mind."

WordPress version: 3.4.1
WordPress SEO version:
I did this: Nothing
Rel Canonical should always show one link per post. But when I suffix any of my blogpost with a number it the canonical url changed to that one.
e.g. http://www.netrival.com/revised-bsnl-data-plans-2g-3g-prepaid-postpaid/ is a post and when i add some numbers like 567/ or anything the canonical url also changed to that one. (www.netrival.com/revised-bsnl-data-plans-2g-3g-prepaid-postpaid/567/)
The problem is not only with my site but crossed checked on a number or other bloggers' site.
