Groves: I'm Bringing Another Title Back To Britain!
Undefeated British & Commonwealth Super-middleweight champion George 'The Saint' Groves has been given a dream shot to fight for a world title against WBO champion Robert Steiglitz on May 5th.
24 year-old Groves will travel to the champion's backyard to fight for a world title in only his 15th professional contest. Steiglitz meanwhile, will be making the sixth defence of his title and will be boxing in his 44th career fight.
The fight, which will take place in Erfurt, Germany on May 5th, will see Groves return to action for the first time since dismantling Paul Smith in two rounds back in November. Whilst Stieglitz represents a step up in class for the unbeaten Londoner, the Brit remains full of confidence.gg
"I am chuffed to be given this opportunity to challenge for the WBO championship of the world", said Groves.
"Me and my team believe now is the correct time to move up to world level and are 100% confident that Britain will soon have another world champion.
"We know that Stieglitz is a great fighter and an experienced champion but we also know we have all the attributes to beat him.
"This is my time to arrive on the world scene. I had a huge fight last year winning the British title and plan to use all that experience and take it into this fight.
"I'm bringing another world title back to Britain."
The big fight can be see live on BoxNation, Sky channel 456 on a bumper night of action that also includes Floyd Mayweather's WBA light-middleweight title showdown with current titlist Miguel Cotto.
have not seen the other guy but i hear its a 50/50 match up,good luck to grovesy though......Comment by Hougigo on 04-09-2012
Rooting for Groves hereComment by right hand jab on 04-09-2012
[QUOTE=Dirk Diggler UK;11985534]Yes bring it back for Chunky to take off you[/QUOTE] Only if Degale learns how to throw a punch correctly, otherwise Groves will box at range and will probably win again!Comment by D-MiZe on 04-09-2012
[QUOTE=Dirk Diggler UK;11985547]It sounds like he's being hung out to dry a bit with that fight. He'll need to pull out an impressive performance or a KO to win over there. Im worried.[/QUOTE] It won't go the distance anyway.Comment by junior gong on 04-09-2012
A little too early for Groves I think, but best of luck to him. He will have to ko Steiglitz as he wont get a decision under any circumstances.Post a Comment - View More User Comments (12)

At first Mike expected me to use "My personal truck" which her knew I didn't own a truck I'd been driving the same personal vehicle since I started this job (I go to chattanooga every week since I started to pick up paychecks for my guys from Knoxville). He knew that hadn't changed and it is not a requirement for this job (refer to area managers handbook) Anyway,After an hour long conversation Mike says I'll up the limit on your c/c to cover the rental just make "d**n" sure you cover the rental out of the delivery charges & the out-of-area charges.....and I had to pay for the gas (and could not turn in reciepts to be re-payed for it)which I argued and he said well if you don't your fired.
This is not the 1st time this has happened to an Area Mgr. (more on that later)... So, I go to Enterprise on Dec 1st 2005 and rent a vehicle capable of carring anything Sears would have for us. Everything goes great we have the biggest Dec. in this companies history. I beat every other Area by as much as $10K which is a big deal in this business. So, nothing said, no problems.... until January 25,2006 I get a call from Mike Giaccone... he is frantic... screaming at me making threats and such , insulting me calling me stupid etc... I finally say Mike what the H is going on? He says what the h do you mean by renting a vehicle for $1100.00 for the whole month of December 2005?
I said Mike 1st off calm down & secondly I covered it & then some out of the Delivery charges & out-of-area charges as you said .... he says quoting here: "You didn't get anybody else on board with you on this" " This is fraud & I'm taking you're next 2 paychecks to cover the loss" I said are you kidding me?? You said to do whatever was the cheapest to do because the other area's were renting as well with u-haul and it was costing a fortune!!
I don't care he said, I said whatever and hung up....(note: this is how Mike does business alot of insults etc...) well that was it for me...I turned in a notice on that same day stating that I was leaving the company on March the 1st , that he should run an add for a new manager asap. That I would help train & hire the new seasonal crew as expected then I was gone. Now what you don't know is this.... I / my AREA Knoxville,TN/TRI-CITIES,TN Asheville,NC..... had the biggest year that this company has ever had my budget for the year was $154,200.00 (to be for the whole year) we did $229.147.99 which crushed our budget of $73,947.99 roughly. Now the reason I'm writing this is that I was to get a BONUS outta all this...I do have it in writing (and on tape)....what is called a 4%/8% Plan. Which means I get 4% of $154,200.00 & 8% of the profit which is $73,947.99, follow? It states in the manuel that an area mgr. is to be employeed from Jan. 1st thru Dec. 31st of said year. Which I was. now that's about $12,000.00(roughly)before taxes. I have every single report from Jan 1st thru Dec. 31st 2005 showing every single expence & every dollar we made and were it came from, I landed Mike 26 new clients, some of which are Inter-National clients (big money).
I was to get my review & what I would get on my bonus check on Feb. 24,2006....
I was fired on Feb. 21,2006 you do the math. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what is going on.
Now , only myself and one other Area Mgr. made bonus ot of 4.
I have proof that the company had the biggest year it has ever had, including the comapny before (they filed banckruptcy and changed the name) so, like 8 years.
He didn't want to pay me my vacation time so I went to the labor board....and a call was made then I got a check for one weeks vacation.He still owes me a weeks salary as well. He also refused to pay me any back "mileage" for the last 2 months.
There is a lot more to this story.... the funny thing is that 2 other Area Mgr's. turned in a notice to quit and one of them was fired as well. Please advise. The only reason I'm writing to you is this. I was depending on that money to help pay for treatments & surgery of my better half of 7 years, well she has cancer and has been in treatments since January 2006... Mike new this as well, he also new that I had to file banckruptcy in Sept.2005 because of the health problems as well. He knew I was counting on this.. that's why I pushed so hard to do a good job! Hell, I'm ruined I'm about to lose the roof over my head. I have found work for another company that starts in April, but there must be something I can do!!??Pleae Help!

If you paid for this by credit card, why not try the dispute process because quite frankly, you did not receive what you paid for.
If you paid for this with a "fake visa", an ATM card with a visa logo, find out what their dispute policy is, if there is one.
At any rate, I would start the process at once. Time may be of the essence!

It can be difficult to distinguish the juveniles, immature males, and adult females of C. ornatus from C. danae and C. similis (Williams 1984). C. ornatus is very similar to C. similis and the two were confused until the 1960's (Gore 1977).C. similis can be distinguished from C. ornatus by the pale translucent blue dactyls of the swimming legs and the propodi that are olive on the ends and banded with translucent blue mesially.

I told her to talk with a manager and I wanted her direct line. She gave me a number. Later, she called back and left a voicemail on my phone saying there was nothing they could do and I will owe them another $200.00 on top of what I already paid to cancel the contract. I called the number back and it went straight into their voicemail system. Everyone I speak with gives me the run around. The trainer I had didn't even know this was going on and called to try and set up a meeting. THey have absolutely no compassion for their customers. Do NOT sign up with them!

PORTSMOUTH — The Portsmouth Police Department has seen a recent increase in the amount of phone calls made to residents attempting to scam them out of money.
The newest scam is telling people their loved ones are in danger or have been in an accident and asking money to be wired immediately to give them medical aid or to be released.
It appears one method the scammers are using is by obtaining information on a specific person via social media; about their name and where they are supposed to be at the time the scammer is calling. These specific details are causing some people to believe the scammer is in fact being truthful.
Attempt to gather as much information you can from caller ID or from the caller. The scammers will attempt to keep you on the phone as they instruct you on how to wire the money to them, know this is their way of preventing you from calling the loved one they are claiming is in trouble.
This attempt to scam within itself is not a crime. If you do receive a call similar to this, try to contact the person the caller says is injured or in harm's way and confirm they are fine. In many cases people will wire the money and then contact their loved one and realize it was all a scam.

Cynthia McKinney is doing it. It's time for you to do it too.
Have you, like many Americans, found yourself wondering why President Bush, over and over again, would hand the Democrats in Congress the weapon needed to bring him down?
Just look at the list:
Last year it was the nominations of John Roberts and Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court. Then, in the new Congress, it was a $120-billion supplemental funding request for continuing the hugely unpopular war in Iraq, followed by a bill to legalize the very National Security Agency spying program which he has been running illegally for the past half decade, and that has had people of all political stripes in an uproar. To top that off, knowing that the Democrats were gunning for his Attorney General, Alberto Gonzales, Bush made sure to have the NSA spying bill put Gonzales in charge of the operation! And now this same president is coming to Congress to ask for another $50 billion for his Iraq War!At first glance, you have to wonder, why on earth would he do this?
But then look what happens:
In every instance, with the exception of the latest Iraq War funding bill (and we know what's going to happen with that), the Democrats have folded and given the president exactly what he wanted, causing apoplexy among the Democratic and independent voters who put them in charge of Congress last November. After all, Democrats ran for office last year saying they would stand up to the president, defend the Constitution, and end the war. Now each time Bush taunts them and they fold, public support for the Democratic Congress slumps further, to the point that today, they are even less popular that Bush—quite an accomplishment!This is a truly impressive strategy—surely the brainchild of Bush's Rasputin, the dearly departed (to Texas) Karl Rove, who long ago understood that the Democrats would not have the courage and strength of conviction to stand against even a president as profoundly despised and distrusted as Bush.
Known and very popular cialis coupon which gives all the chance to receive a discount for a preparation which has to be available and exactly cialis coupons has been found in the distant room of this big house about which wood-grouses in the houses tell.
So all Bush has to do to promote a Republican victory in the 2008 elections is keep putting forward outrageous bills, keep expanding the war, perhaps to include Iran, and keep undermining the Constitution. The Democrats will enable or sign on to each horrible act in turn. And with each such shameless action taken by the Democratic Congress, they further enrage 2008 voters.
The Democrats, under Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (surely two of the sorriest excuses for leaders that Congress has had in modern history), simply don't get it. They don't realize they're being played for suckers and losers. And they don't even realize that they are alienating their base.
Which brings us to what needs to be done.
The Democrats in Congress, and at the head of the party, need to receive a serious wake-up call. Since they're clearly too dumb or too out of touch to realize what's happening, we need to send them a message they can't ignore—the political equivalent of a car bomb.
I'm talking about mass resignations from the Democratic Party, with every person who resigns and becomes an independent or who changes their registration to a third party sending a message to the DNC explaining why he or she is quitting.
It starts small with a few people here and a few people there, but as Arlo Guthrie once put it, pretty soon we're talking about a movement, and you can join it right here!
A couple of months back, I set up an email address for people to register at, and listed it on my website. To date, over 600 people have mailed in saying they are quitting the Democratic Party until Democrats in Congress begin impeachment proceedings against Bush and Cheney, and until they cut of all funding for the Iraq War.
Now it's time to really kick this campaign into high gear.
A few days ago, Cynthia McKinney, the gutsy and outspoken former congresswoman from Georgia who filed the first and so far only bill of impeachment against George W. Bush in the waning days of the last Congress, called me at home to say she wants to sign on. That's a nice start to the campaign!
You read it first here: Former Rep. McKinney Quits the Democratic Party!
So how about you? Think about it: If you were to accept the official line, George Bush won the presidency in 2000 by capturing the state of Florida by 537 votes. And this movement has already got more than that number of people who are no longer going to be Democrats! If we could get 537 people in each state of the union to sign on and drop their party affiliation in protest, the Democratic leadership would have to start contemplating how many close states they are going to lose next year because of their abject failure to act on principle and with courage in Congress.
Better still, if we could get 100,000 or 500,000 people to drop their party affiliation nationwide, that would send a really powerful signal.
The beauty of this plan of action is that it is easy to do. And Democratic officials, from the DNC to local officeholders and county committees watch those registration totals like hawks, so they'll spot any de-registering trend really quickly. In fact, if registrations start to drop, you'll see local party officials start pressuring their Congressional representatives to take action and do something to stem the flow. For one thing, if you deregister, you're off their mailing lists. That means they can't hit you up for money, and they can't target you for get-out-the-vote drives. (Meanwhile, in many states, you don't even forfeit your right to participate in Democratic primaries by dropping your party registration, so you can still vote against Hillary and the rest of the warmongers in the party.)
Oh, you say, we can't just quit the party and let the Republicans win again!
Really? And just what have we gotten for our support for the Democrats in 2006? The war is still fully funded, and in fact has gotten worse, with 30,000 more troops in the country, not counting the 100,000 or so private mercenaries. Spying on Americans here a home has been legalized, with the help of the Democrats. (Nancy Pelosi can use threats of party discipline to prevent members from moving on impeachment, but she won't crack the whip to make them protect the Bill of Rights, or to defund the war?) And Bush is still issuing those signing statements, so any bills of consequence that Democrats have tried to pass have either been killed by Republican maneuvering, or vetoed.
And public support for the Democratic Congress is in the teens.
Clearly the only way to save the Democrats from themselves is to make it clear to them that they have to change or die.
And the way to do that is to join the "I Quit the Party" movement!
So click here and be a quitter. (Remember to get a voter registration form and follow through by cancelling your Democratic Party affiliation!)
After you quit, then go to xDem.org, where Steve Fornier is trying to help organize people who have left the Democratic Party, but still want to be democrats. To learn more about Fornier's idea, go to Counterpunch.
Note: You can also help build the movement by sending this article and link to every progressive person and progressive website you can think of. It's time to take quitting the party viral.

Iviewit / Patentgate
To understand all roads of political demise for both parties, one must understand the parties are under siege by cult organizations, with subversive agenda's not only to the parties but the Constitution as a whole. These newly exposed cults such as Skull and Bones and Council of Foreign Relations (CFR) position on both sides of a political race so that the parties lose either way to a candidate that has taken oath to organizations with stated intent of subversion to a New World Order. No, not conspiracy theory, fact, not paranoia but fact. For example, Bush and Kerry are both admitted members of Skull and Bones, a Yale cult that eats off Nazi flatware and has stated goals similar to Hitler and Nazism (Concentration camps,Karl Rove's grandfather built them, violation of human rights, torture chambers, removal of habeus corpus, removal of freedom of the People, AG's that perjure, AG's that show up at sick mens bedside's with overcoats and papers to sign, false oil wars based on falsified intel and fraudulent documents, exposing cherised CIA covert agents and pardoning those that exposed them, etc.).
In the upcoming election almost all candidates from both parties belong to CFR:
Democrat CFR Candidates: Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, Chris Dodd and Bill Richardson
Republican CFR Candidates: Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani, John McCain, Fred Thompson, Newt Gingrich
Members of the CFR include:
Dick Cheney (Director 1987-198, John Kerry, Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, Gerald Ford, Richard Nixon, John, David & Nelson Rockefeller, Condolezza Rice, Paul Wolfowitz, Alan Greenspan (Director 1987-198, Colin Powell, Henry Kissinger, Angelina Jolie (Yes, the actress has a five year term membership as an ambassador), Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Maurice Hank Greenberg (Vice Chairman & Director).
Corporate members include: Halliburton of Dubai, British Petroleum, Dutch Royal Shell, Exxon Mobile, General Electric (NBC), Chevron, Lockheed Martin, Merck Pharmaceuticals, News Corp (FOX), Bloomberg, IBM, Time Warner, JP Morgan/ Chase Manhattan & several other major financial institutions.
The goals of the CFR are best described by its very own members. Bill Clinton's Georgetown mentor and CFR member Carroll Quigley states: "The Council on Foreign Relations is the American branch of a society which originated in England... (and) ...believes national boundaries should be obliterated and one world rule established.".
Surprisingly, many of its own members admit the CFR goal is to subvert the democratic process. CFR member and Judge Advocate General of the US Navy Admiral Chester Ward writes "The main purpose of the (CFR) is promoting the disarmament of US sovereignty and national dependence and submergence into and all powerful, one world government." This high ranking military officer went on to explain their procedures for influencing policy, claiming: "Once the ruling members of the CFR shadow government have decided that the US government should adopt a particular policy, the very substantial research facilities of the CFR are put to work to develop arguments, intellectual and emotional, to support the new policy and to confound and discredit, intellectually and politically, any opposition."
The super secretive Order of Skull and Bones is non partisan – it is not right or left, conservative or liberal, Republican or Democrat. Of the secret groups, The Order and the Bilderberg Group are the most secretive. The Order may, in fact, be the core of the others. Each group appears to have specific activities toward the development of the New World Order. "The activities of The Order are directed towards changing our society, changing the world, to bring about a New World Order. This will be a planned order with heavily restricted individual freedom, without Constitutional protection, without national boundaries or cultural distinction." Therefore, The Order controls Republican Bonesmen and Democrat Bonesmen.
Come on America, wake up and see when you are being snowed either way, root out these handful of tyrannous men to Democracy, the terrorists within.

best of luck with regaining the country and the political parties.

You Don't Get it Either!
Nothing is going to get the Democratic Party to understand just how feckless, they are. Why is that, you might ask? Simple. They are all pigs at the same trough. As much as I hate to say that, being a life long Democrat of the Harry Truman variety, it stands as the only logical explanation for their totally illogical response to this Criminal Administrations'
Never before in our history has the cynical mantra "The lesser of two evils" rung more truly, in my ears. The Democrats should win the '08 elections, not because they deserve it, but rather , because the Republicans don't. I have always delineated between Republicans and Neo-cons,but the Republican Party is truly an accessory to all crimes of this Administration. I'm calling for a "Piling on of the Vote". A strong and sound message to all that we will not put up with this political disenfranchisement any longer. Then once the Dems have the helm it will be our obligation to hound them, and make sure they do not stray from the path of protecting our rights.
Further, in respect to this run-up to attacks on Iran, I would like to see prominent people of all stripes, step forward to condemn this push by these Administration Chicken Hawks.
To do less would be a squandering of our inheritance.

Reto Anneler
After some years of work as a sideman, Swiss alto player Reto Anneler now releases his first album with his very own music. The compositions are marked by 20th century classical music as well as current pop: conscious serendipity, twelve tone rows, odd meters and quarter notes blend with powerful melodies and grooves. The rhythm section featuring Stefan Rusconi, Christian Weber and Claudio Strüby master interactions and intensity at the highest level possible. That's how the alto notes carry as sound as a bell.

If you want your money back, you can forget about it because they will not give it to you. Even if your car burns down and your family is in the hospital with all sorts of pending bills due to hospital bills and towing charges. These people have no HEART towards anybody. They only care about lining their pockets and their bottom line. [I talked to a guy name Nathan, and he seems to only care about how good their program is and that the next deal is just around the corner, so I should just wait it out and see where it goes...in the meantime my dad, my car and his RV burned down but this was not really his concern]
I have been in this program for 2 months with no deals, no success and no money. Instead I am left with $5600 total charge in my CC [which by the way, I did not authorize them to automatically charge my CC and I am filing for fraudulent charges] . My final advise is the same as buying in real estate. Caveat Emptor. BUYERS BEWARE!!

A meltdown's never been this much fun.
Throwing a fit used to be a bad thing, but then Armada came up with the Kids' Tantrum Ski and everything we thought we knew changed. You'll be psyched when Junior throws the Tantrum off fun-sized jumps, over small cliffs, and down powdery tree lines, and he'll dig the easily maneuverable UltraLight wood core, strong but not overwhelming fiberglass laminate, and lightweight cap construction, which'll have him pivoting, carving, and busting through tight spots like you won't believe.
The Tantrum has traditional camber underfoot for solid edge grip and control on hardpack, but comes with an early-rise tip and a floaty 100mm width that'll make him feel like he's riding a full-fledged powder ski when he heads off trail to explore the untracked. 1.7mm Impact edges and a sintered S7 base will minimize rock-damage-induced tears, keeping the stoke high until he passes out in the car on the way home.

Radio host calls for poop patrols at La Jolla cove
A local radio host is calling for patrols to clean up bird droppings that have created a stink at La Jolla Cove. On Friday, he took the first shift.
Mike Slater, the morning show host on the talk radio station 760 KFMB, said he considered taking action after seeing news stories last week about an unpleasant odor at the picturesque cove.
The offer by a La Jolla restaurant to commemorate his effort by naming a sandwich in his honor sealed the deal.
Slater went out to the cove with a push broom during Friday's rainstorm and swept the coast clear of bird feces. He figured he might also clear a path through environmental regulations that prohibit using detergents, solvents or power-washing techniques to clean the rocks.
"We took the opportunity of the rain, and used nature's water," Slater said. "It took about two hours, and I pushed all the bird poop into the ocean."
The cove landed on the front page of U-T San Diego after merchants complained that the smell of accumulated bird droppings was driving away business and sickening patrons. A New York Times story brought the problem to national light, but also generated embarrassing publicity for the scenic spot.
At the foot of a marine reserve, and home to seals and sea lions, the cove falls under the protection of multiple authorities. A city proposal to clean up the mess would need approval from the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board and the Coastal Commission, and could require sign-off from state and federal wildlife agencies.
The commission and water board said last week that they were still waiting to see the city's plan.
In the meantime, La Jolla shops and restaurants say customers are losing their lunch.
Slater said he discussed the dilemma on air, and then settled on a solution. If a storm could wash the water away, he thought, maybe he could help it along.
"At the end of the segment, we were so frustrated, that I said, 'why don't we just go clean the rock?' " Slater said. "My director said, maybe if you go clean the rock, then they'll name a sandwich after you. So I said, yeah, that's the deal. If they'll name a sandwich, I'll do it."
Slater set out Friday afternoon with a push broom, and climbed onto the rocks, after checking with a lifeguard to see if that was OK.
A couple hours later, he said, he had scrubbed off most of the droppings, and said he noticed an improvement in the odor, although he acknowledged that the storm would have quelled the smell anyway.
He admitted he hadn't cleared the plan with regulators, but figured they had better things to do than cite a guy with a push broom.
Dave Gibson, executive officer of the water board, said that's probably a good call.
"Since it was a push broom and it was during the rain, it doesn't seem like it would rise to our list of priorities," Gibson said.
Friday evening, Slater and his fiancée enjoyed a meal of "Slater's Sliders," a grilled chicken and pesto sandwich that the La Jolla eatery Brockton Villa ran as a special.
Slater said he'd like to start a movement, and hopes to see community volunteers or Boy Scout troops follow in his path.
Gibson said that while the one-time incident is probably not a problem, regular cleanups could pose public safety risks or breach marine mammal protections.
Slater, however, will hang up his broom. He's not ready to become an odor activist, and hoped to make a statement, not a career change.
"I'm pretty sure when my parents paid a lot of money for college they did not anticipate me making this my profession," he said. "I have no intention of becoming a professional bird poop cleaner. My intention was, something should get done. We should fix it."

This is what they call an Afterthought Thumb. You'll also heard it called a Peasant Thumb. You knit the mitten or glove to a certain point, then knit back and forth with waste yarn to hold your place for the thumb. I do mine this way. It's actually easier because you're not increasing or placing markers for a thumb gusset. They're knit like a tube that's closed on one end. The only downside to this is that it will give you a definite left and right hand glove. It's fine for adults and older kids, but may be a problem for kids who can't tell left from right hand. The advantage of mittens/ gloves with thumb gussetts or gores is that they can be worn on either hand. The proper measurement for this for an average adult is 2 1/2 inches from the top of the rib cuff to where you want to place the thumb opening. The thumb height will also be 2 1/2 inches. I spent a lot of time knitting mittens for charity and these are the right lengths for average size.
This is my favorite sizing chart for mittens/gloves. They never tell you this in these charts. But the distance from the top of the cuff (where you've stopped knitting the rib and have begun the stockinette stitch) is the same measurement as the thumb length in these charts. For example, the size 8 kids has a 1 3/4 inches thumb and the distance from the top of cuff to the thumb opening will also be 1 3/4 inches. I spent a lot of time using my adult kids and the neighbor kids as test subjects.
Welsh corgis are cool.

So I decided after a while of trying to put it together and make it work, that I was done, so I'm just gonna return it. I called their customer service number - 1800-208-2500 to ask about how to go about returning this item. I was abruptly interrupted and told that I had been rerouted to the delinquent account department because I was late on my payment.
I was shocked of course, and I said No, my statement says that my payment isn't due untilt he 20th, so that's incorrect. The lady debated with me saying that on her end it says it was due on this date, and I'm telling her well my statement clearly says the 20th. I can fax it over to you if you like.
I asked to speak with a manager as it seemed I wasn't going to get far with this lady, she then told me all the managers are in a meeting. (This is the answer you will always get when you ask to speak with a manager) I said "ALL of your managers are in a meeting???" I knew that was bogus, so I said I'll hold. SHe then puts me on hold, comes back 5 mins later with a manager that tells me the same thing, but she gave me the fax number. So I faxed it over and waited for a call the next day, I missed the first call while at work, and when I tried to call back they said there is no one here in this dept by that name, you need to contact customer service. I asked how to do so,a nd they said to call the 800-208-2500 number, when I said that is the number I just called, I was told that you were rerouted because you're late and the automated program will not put you through to customer service.
So at this point I'm thinking this is absurd, first of all I'm not late, and Im trying to contact the woman in customer service that left a VM to call her. The lady kept saying I understand that, but you were rerouted here because you're late on your payment. Then I asked well can you transfer me to the customer service dept,and I was told we cannot do that. BS!!! This went on for 3 days and I was constantly "rerouted" to the delinquent dept, instead of customer service. When I asked are you guys saying that I will never be able to talk to customer service, they're response was "You can contact them, you have to dial 1800-208-2500.
I repeatedly told them that was the number I dialed and I kept getting put through to the delinquent dept, she said that the only way to get customer service was to pay the past due amount. I then told her again that it was not past due,a nd that is the reason I'm trying to reach customer service. This was the WORST customer service I have ever experienced, they are terrible. Not to mention a lady tried to pretend she was the manager at one point, but I caught her because I asked for her name and I was hung up on once also.

Field day near Holland focuses on grazing cover crops
Ames, Iowa—Iowa Learning Farms, along with Practical Farmers of Iowa, will host a cover crops field day at the Fred Abels' farm near Holland, on Tuesday, Nov. 19, from 12-3 p.m. The event will focus on cover crops for soil health as part of the Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy. The event is free and the public is invited to attend.
Speakers include host Fred Abels, who is incorporating cover crops on his farm for cattle grazing as well as soil health. Practical Farmers of Iowa livestock coordinator Margaret Dunn and Abels will answer questions regarding grazing livestock on cover crops and broader ways to incorporate livestock and cover crops together. Kathy Kucera, crop insurance agent with Mid-Iowa Cooperative, will talk about the new USDA-RMA guidelines. Weather permitting, Abels will guide a tour of the cover crop grazing areas on his farm.
Guests may arrive at Noon for a free chili lunch prior to the field day program beginning at 1 p.m. The Fred Abels farm is located at 20902 J Ave, Holland, Iowa. From Holland, go two miles west on D-35 and a half-mile south on J Ave.
Founded in 1985, Practical Farmers of Iowa is an open, supportive and diverse organization of farmers and friends of farmers, advancing profitable, ecologically sound and community-enhancing approaches to agriculture through farmer-to-farmer networking, farmer-led investigation and information sharing.

Just hours after Rhythm and Brews cut the ribbon for its grand opening, a large group of people took a fight that started in the bar out into the street.
It happened around 12:30 a.m. Saturday. At least one person was taken by ambulance to the hospital after he was cut by a broken bottle, and several people were arrested.
"Any time you have any kind of activity where alcohol is involved, there has a tendency for people to get hot headed at times," said Capt. Jeff Lewis of the Meridian Police Department.
And that is exactly what owner Bradley Wyatt says happened. According to Wyatt, this is the first bar of its kind in Meridian and the excitement proved to be too much for some guests to handle.
But Wyatt assured local residents that fighting will not be tolerated. He says when you have hundreds of people in a packed building, altercations can happen.
As for police presence while the bar is open, Capt. Lewis says Rhythm and Brews will be patrolled just like all the other establishments in town.
"We are not going to do anything different than we would with any other location within the city limits of the city of Meridian," Lewis said.
Currently the bar employs six or seven security guards every night it's open, but Wyatt says more will be hired if necessary.

Alamo Drafthouse is the only place we go to see movies! The staff, food and atmosphere are great! No stale popcorn or sticky wet gum ridden floors either. Love that a server will bring you a beer, snack, dinner whatever while you watch the movie. We take everyone who comes to visit us to the Alamo and they all have liked it too! Also like the no cellphone usage policy they have while the movie is showing! Management is sincere and really takes care of you too!

My wife an i love to visit this place, its a great date place. The food is hot and the drinks are surprising well made. Our kids love the fish and chips, with cheese on the fries! The fries are the thick wedge types. Enjoy!!
I would love this movie theater as the atmosphere for enjoying a movie is among the most comfortable. Cold beer and Chips & Queso, what more could one want? Unfortunately, the servers in the theater tend to be rude and self-absorbed.

We return to our own homes that evening. My sister calls me the next day when she was looking at the receipt and realizes that the man had charged $120 to her credit card, not $60. I then immediately looked up the prices of the same products on-line and found that a set of scrub and body butter goes from $30 to $40. We went back to the mall with our products and explained that the salesman had told us the wrong thing and that we no longer wanted the products and that we would NEVER have spent $120 if we knew that is what we were spending.
The manager was called and instead of trying to help us and offer us another deal or even ANYTHING, he yelled at us, called us liars and accused us of calling his sales people stupid. His immediate approach was to attack and defend, behavior neither my sister nor I have ever seen from a manager with a product and company to represent. All he did was yell at us and shove a little framed piece of paper in our face that read "no refunds, all sales final," which we were NEVER told the day before when purchasing the product. It was obvious from the man's behavior that he is used to similar complaints. I did some research on these Kiosks selling Premier and other skin products and found many similar stories.

At the University of Saint Joseph we girls are a family. Everyone here is part of a family and we treat each other as such.

Stick it to the enemy
|Survive 15 consecutive waves using the analog combat controls.
You'll need to manually switch to Analog in the Options>Controls menu. The way this works for melee combat is you need to hold down the Left Trigger, then use the Right Thumbstick to attack. If you want to chop off a head for example, pull the thumbstick all the way to the left/right and then quickly flick it in the exact opposite direction. It takes some getting used to... however, you can avoid any hassle by simply using guns, kicks or thrown weapons the entire time the settings are enabled. If you play in co-op and have a friend do all the work, you'll want to make sure you hit at least one enemy each wave for it to count.

My purpose in this study was to investigate the immediate cause of death in pneumonia, both from a clinical and from an anatomic standpoint. The material consists of 200 consecutive cases of pneumonia, which were studied clinically and which finally came to autopsy in the Fourth Medical Service at Bellevue Hospital.
The autopsies were performed by various members of the pathologic staff under the chief pathologist, who has permitted me to utilize the material in this manner. The clinical studies were based on the usual records of the cases under the regular attending physicians and their associates of the division, with additional notes when possible of the immediate manner of death.

Hi guys,
I use your plugin with great satisfaction.
Recently I added a portfolio page to my website, which now consists of two portfolio pages.
Portfolio page 1 displays actions, using the posts in the actions category. It has it's own template called "page-Portfolio4Col.php
Portfolio page 2 displays bikes, using the posts in the bikes category + two child categories. It has it's own template called "page-Portfolio4ColSortable.php
As you'll understand, I'd like different widgets on these posts. But I've tried a lot but all without succes.
Any idea of the codes I should use? Thanks.

The Idea of America
Reflections on the Birth of the United States

Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreThe preeminent historian of the American Revolution explains why it remains the most significant event in our history.
More than almost any other nation in the world, the United States began as an idea. For this reason, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Gordon S. Wood believes that the American Revolution is the most important event in our history, bar none. Since American identity is so fluid and not based on any universally shared heritage, we have had to continually return to our nation's founding to understand who we are. In The Idea of America, Wood reflects on the birth of American nationhood and explains why the revolution remains so essential.
In a series of elegant and illuminating essays, Wood explores the ideological origins of the revolution-from ancient Rome to the European Enlightenment-and the founders' attempts to forge an American democracy. As Wood reveals, while the founders hoped to create a virtuous republic of yeoman farmers and uninterested leaders, they instead gave birth to a sprawling, licentious, and materialistic popular democracy.
Wood also traces the origins of American exceptionalism to this period, revealing how the revolutionary generation, despite living in a distant, sparsely populated country, believed itself to be the most enlightened people on earth. The revolution gave Americans their messianic sense of purpose-and perhaps our continued propensity to promote democracy around the world-because the founders believed their colonial rebellion had universal significance for oppressed peoples everywhere. Yet what may seem like audacity in retrospect reflected the fact that in the eighteenth century republicanism was a truly radical ideology-as radical as Marxism would be in the nineteenth-and one that indeed inspired revolutionaries the world over.
Today there exists what Wood calls a terrifying gap between us and the founders, such that it requires almost an act of imagination to fully recapture their era. Because we now take our democracy for granted, it is nearly impossible for us to appreciate how deeply the founders feared their grand experiment in liberty could evolve into monarchy or dissolve into licentiousness. Gracefully written and filled with insight, The Idea of America helps us to recapture the fears and hopes of the revolutionary generation and its attempts to translate those ideals into a working democracy.
Lin-Manuel Miranda's smash Broadway musical Hamilton has sparked new interest in the Revolutionary War and the Founding Fathers. In addition to Alexander Hamilton, the production also features George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Aaron Burr, Lafayette, and many more.

Researchers Wrestle with When to Make...
We're Used to Tracking Economic and...
Approved Pharmacologic Treatments for NAFLD, NASH,...
Treatment of B-Cell Lymphomas with Monoclonal...
The Cancer Vaccine Acceleration Fund (CVAF) has earmarked $1.5 million in research funding to support the early clinical development of Tolerx' anticancer mAbTRX518. CVAF is a nonprofit program established by the Cancer Research Institute in partnership with the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research.
Under terms of the collaboration between CVAF and Tolerx, the cancer fund will be eligible to receive milestone payments if TRX518 achieves future FDA approval. CVAF will, in turn, provide Tolerx with access to scientific and clinical resources, including the Ludwig Institute's clinical trials management team and Cancer Vaccine Collaborative, a global network of 19 medical research institutions with expertise in designing and conducting immunotherapy cancer trials.
"This partnership between CVAF and Tolerx is an innovative model for how academic investigators, nonprofit medical research organizations, and biopharma companies can leverage each of their unique strengths to expedite the development of important new medicines for patients," comments Adam Kolom, CVAF director. "Our scientific leadership selected Tolerx' TRX518 antibody as a priority for support because it represents a powerful mechanism for enhancing and sustaining the immune system's attack against cancer cells."
Tolerx is focused on developing drugs that modulate T-cell activity for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, diabetes, and cancer. TRX518 is a targeted T-cell immunomodulator designed to activate the glucocorticoid-induced tumor necrosis factor receptor (GITR) found on multiple types of T cells. Activating GITR on T-effector cells with a T-cell modulating agent plays a role in enhancing the immune system's ability to attack tumors by activating T-effector cells and rendering them resistant to suppression by T regulatory cells, Tolerx claims. TRX518 is currently in Phase I evaluation for the treatment of melanoma.
Tolerx' lead late-stage candidate, otelixizumab (TRX4), is a CD3-targetng monoclonal antibody designed to induce immunologic remission in patients with T-cell mediated autoimmune diseases using a single short course of therapy. The drug is being developed in collaboration with GlaxoSmithKline and is currently in Phase III trials as a treatment for new-onset type 1 diabetes. Phase II trials in rheumatoid arthritis are also ongoing, and Phase Ib studies evaluating otelixizumab in psoriasis patients have been completed. Tolerx suggests potential applications for otelixizumab could include Graves disease, myasthenia gravis, celiac disease, systemic lupus, and multiple sclerosis.
Tolerx has an additional candidate in Phase I clinical trials. TRX1 is an anti-CD4 humanized monoclonal antibody in clinical development initially for the treatment of cutaneous lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis.
