Can you define these popular missing words?
(noun) Typically applied to a heterosexual female (although the term can also be used in reference to a homosexual male), meat wave describes an instance in which one experiences a prolonged period of excessive dick, commonly referred to as "meat," in a condensed period of time. A meat wave is measured relative to the usual amount of sex one has, and the relative time span in which said sexual encounters booty call occur. The term can be applied to routine variations in sexual frequency, but is most appropriately used to describe extraordinary spells of intercourse with multiple partners, which may only occur once a decade. Severe meat waves have historically been known to cause a catastrophic -- often contradictory -- rise in both self esteem and self loathing, which can sometimes trigger short-term reclusive tendencies, commonly known as a "meat retreat."

Mourinho: I'm not unsettling Rooney
Jose Mourinho has fired the first barb ahead of Chelsea's match against Manchester United, saying he is not the one unsettling Wayne Rooney.
The two English giants will clash at Old Trafford on Monday night, with Rooney the subject of transfer speculation linking him with a move to the Portuguese manager's side.
Mourinho was surprised by suggestions the home crowd will be angry at him but was adamant his Manchester United counterpart unsettled Rooney by suggesting he would be a backup player this season.
"They are against me?" Mourinho said.
"But I didn't say (to Rooney) you will be a second-choice for me, and they are against me?
"We are trying to get a player that a manager (Moyes) told 'you will be a second option'.
"We are not going for Van Persie - they don't have to be against me.
"If I say Ramires is a second option for me and he plays when Lampard is tired or injured, if someone comes here to get Ramires, nobody is upset."
The former Real Madrid tactician then attempted to clarify his comments about Moyes' style of management.
"In every big team, I am not criticising, you have first options and second options, and those second options must be very good players," he said.
"Of course big teams must have second choices, big players too, and the point is if the players are happy to accept that situation."
Moyes has said that Rooney could play a part in the blockbuster match despite Chelsea intimating they would make another bid for the English international in the coming days.21 comments

By Liz Dudley/Staff Writer
State police say bottle bombs put in two public swimming pools last week probably were the pranks of children. The contents of the bottles are being analyzed and no one has been charged.
The weighted-down, two-liter bottles were found at Millerstown and Liverpool pools.
The one put in Liverpool exploded July 21 as Leslie Crane, the pool manager, was carrying it away. Crane and a lifeguard were splashed but not hurt.
"It irritated my skin," she said, "but we hosed off and seemed to be OK."
Crane said borough maintenance workers heard the noise and came to help. "They were mowing in the field and heard it over two mowers," Crane said. "The lifeguard and I both lost the hearing in one of our ears for a time because it was really loud."
The explosive at the Millerstown Pool had exploded, leaving only pieces of plastic floating in the pool before staff arrived.
Crane said it's business as usual at the pool, except that she's become more vigilant. "I come in early to check on things," she said. "If I see anything, I'm calling the police."

Minnesota Lynx Celebrate A 3rd WNBA Title, Aiming For MoreIt was a celebration fit for champions. The Minnesota Lynx held their victory parade Friday after winning the WNBA title Wednesday night for the first time on their home court. Lynx fans lined Hennepin Avenue for a chance to celebrate with the champs.
Lynx Win Third WNBA Title In 5 YearsSylvia Fowles had 20 points and 11 rebounds, and the Minnesota Lynx captured their third championship in five years with a 69-52 victory over the Indiana Fever in Game 5 of the WNBA Finals on Wednesday night.

Fowles, Lynx Pull Out Tense Game 2 To Even WNBA Finals 1-1Sylvia Fowles had 21 points and nine rebounds and the Minnesota Lynx evened the best-of-five WNBA Finals at one game apiece with a 77-71 victory over the Indiana Fever on Tuesday night.

A PAINTING put up for auction after its owner learned of its possible value in the Evening News broke world records when it was snapped up for almost £250,000.
A lost masterpiece by Leslie Hunter, which had been hanging in a private home in the Capital, has been sold for 249,750 at Bonhams' Made in Scotland sale.
The three-day sale, which ended yesterday, saw more than 2 million bid for over 1000 antiques. The bidding also saw one of the earliest known paintings of a football game snapped up for more than five times more than expected.
The Village Ba'Game by Scottish artist Alexander Carse went under the hammer for 266,250 - smashing expectations of 30,000 to 50,000.
The price paid for the Hunter painting was a world record for the artist, one of the Scottish Colourists.
Experts expected the picture to reach around 150,000 to 200,000.

Newport's 2012 budget was adopted during a special Dec. 28 meeting. The spending plan, which leaves tax rates unchanged, cuts projected spending by 12.8 percent, from $804,027 in 2011 to $700,679 in 2012.
The main source of the decrease is a change in the water authority's bond payment, which decreases from $264,873 to $89,520. The authority will be paying only interest on its loans in the coming year to free up cash flow as the new plant comes online.
The water authority continues to be a major source of controversy. Councilwoman Tami Halstead stated the borough needs to cash the authority's sewer revenue transfer check by the end of the year, but does not want the authority to think doing so means an agreement has been reached on how the transfers will be handled and accounted for in the future.
Solicitor Stanley Laskowski noted that acceptance of the check did not necessarily mean an agreement had been reached.
Councilwoman and authority president Barb Hart assured Halstead the transfer was on the level. She also stated the authority does not have records for 2008 since the bank handled water and sewer payments at the time. Halstead previously requested an audit of 2008 records after audits of 2009 and 2010 discovered revenue that should have been turned over to the borough.
Projected spending for the police department increases by nearly $40,000 to $115,736, mainly due to taking on a new officer.
Police Cpl. Barry Keller's 90-day probationary period expired, and council made him full-time. Keller has a multi-disciplinary B.S. from Albright College in psychology, sociology, and criminal justice, as well as a M.A. in criminal justice from Penn State.
Halstead said he has been a real asset to the borough. Keller is working with council to modernize the department. Traffic safety has been a major focus of the department, and Keller noted speed compliance has increased dramatically since he started.
Following a lengthy executive session, council made two motions which received unanimous approval. The first authorizes an investigation of whether any action can be taken to force Teamster Local 776 to enforce the settlement agreement regarding Officer Richard Behne. Behne refused to sign the agreement, which left the matter unresolved.
The second motion requested Keller to look into the uniformed crime reports made by Behne between March and September of 2011.
Ronda Hendrickson of the Harrisburg YWCA reported that the lease on its long-term transitional housing for battered women and children is expiring at the end of February. The home, serving rural areas north of Harrisburg is in northern Dauphin County. The YWCA is considering whether to relocate to Perry County, which is underserved. She stated Newport would be a good fit because stores and schools are within walking distance. Board President Jason Ehrhart assured Hendrickson that the YWCA would have full support from council if it chooses to locate in the borough.
The Rev. Daphne Messersmith and Joanne Pinaire from the Church of the Nativity were on hand to support the effort.
Hendrickson noted the 17074 (Newport) and 17020 (Duncannon) zip codes have 2.5 times the ratio of reported domestic violence than the county average.
Dawn Suhrie, formerly of Glace Associates (the borough's engineering service), recently passed away and donations to the Helen Krause Foundation were requested in lieu of flowers. Councilman Tom Fitzpatrick pointed out the borough has never sent flowers to anybody's funeral and thought it would be bad precedent to make such a contribution. Council took no action.
This was the final meeting for members Fitzpatrick and Andrew Blair.
The ordinance to lower the retirement age from 65 to 62 for nonuniformed employees was adopted.

Chuck Phelps' celebration of a new life-sustaining liver did not last long.
He only had it a few days when he got the news that it had to come out.
The transplanted liver he had received at Hershey Medical Center on Sept. 15 was a good fit, but might not have been as healthy as medical personnel had originally thought.
Article Photos
(Mirror photo by Gary M. Baranec) Chuck and Mary Lois Phelps are seen in their Williamsburg area home. Chuck received a liver transplant in September, only to learn a few days after the surgery that the donor had been suffering from cancer, and Phelps would have to have the organ replaced with a healthy one. The plaque behind them reads: "Phelps, where each lives for the other and all live for God." It is a saying that the family lives by.
The donor was suffering from cancer and the disease had traveled into the donor's lymph nodes. Chances were that Chuck could develop cancer in time if his new liver was not removed.
A man of faith, Chuck of Williamsburg looked to God for strength during a time when his weakened body had little of its own.
His wife, Mary Lois, believes the extremely rare mixup maybe was a blessing in disguise. While waiting for another liver, Chuck had a few weeks to recover and gain strength from the crisis that originally took a toll on his body when he was rushed to Hershey on Sept. 10.
Fact Box
To assist the Phelps family with medical expenses, a spaghetti dinner is being held from 3:30 to 8:30 p.m. Nov. 23 at the Williamsburg Farm Show building.
Cost is $6 for adults and $3 for youths. Children younger than 4, eat for free.
In addition to the dinner, a silent auction is being held featuring items contributed by Penn State, the Steelers, Pirates and Penguins.
Items include autographed balls, jerseys, hats and shirts and tickets to a hockey game at Penn
"He was one of the healthiest patients to receive a liver transplant," Mary Lois said, referring to the second surgery on Oct. 2. His vitals were good and he was no longer jaundice.
Chuck said being given a liver from someone who had cancer was a rare glitch in the system. Neither he nor Mary Lois blame the transplant team or United Network for Organ Sharing for the mishap.
Mary Lois said for some reason information about a suspicious area on a CT scan did not get passed on, but a coroner noticed the cancer during an autopsy.
Chuck said perhaps other patients would have contemplated litigation, but he and Mary Lois did not consider it. Instead, they trust in God.
"The Hershey Medical team did not do anything wrong.
"The liver was the right blood type, the right size and when they harvested the organ, it looked good," Chuck said.
"They were as shocked as we were," Mary Lois said.
After consulting with other teams in Pittsburgh and Ohio, the Hershey group learned that the chances of implanting an organ possibly carrying cancer were about 1 percent. They also concurred that the risk of leaving the tainted organ in Chuck's body was too great. He was to go to the top of the transplant list again.
It would be his third transplant. Chuck had his first one in 1988, after suffering from primary sclerosing cholangitis, a disease that causes inflammation and obstruction of the bile ducts in the liver. It often develops because of ulcerative colitis, a disorder of the large intestine.
Chuck was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis when he was 18 and eventually developed PSC.
Doctors kept a close watch on his diseased liver through blood tests, and in 1998, he received the organ of a young boy.
"I was 35 at the time and considered it a second chance at life," he said. "My kids were about kindergarten age, and I wanted to live to see them graduate from high school."
His prayers were answered. Daughters Lindsey and Caitlin have graduated from high school. Lindsey has completed training at South Hills Business College and Caitlin attends Penn State Altoona.
But for 15 years, the transplanted organ did not seem to do the job it was expected to perform.
"I always had a battle with that liver," Chuck said. "It did not function right."
For the past eight years, he went to Hershey monthly for tests. While there were many days when he did not feel well, he never missed a day of work at The Meadows in Huntingdon, where he serves as a clinical therapist.
"I kept plugging away even though I was pretty sick," Chuck said.
He said his job gave him a purpose and was a way to help others. Many of his clients suffered from depression, and Chuck believes God got him through those days so he could help them.
"My faith in God, courage and support by my wife and kids kept me going," he said.
The problems Chuck was having with the liver put him on the transplant list again, but it was a shot that elevated his name to the top.
One of the complications from his first transplant is that he suffers from osteoporosis or a decrease in bone mass and density.
He usually receives an infusion to combat it, but this year his provider recommended a shot, which Chuck got after work on Sept. 9. Within a short time, he developed back pain that worsened as the evening went on. He knew his was in trouble. He and Mary Lois rushed to Mount Nittany Hospital in State College. From there, Chuck was taken by ambulance to Hershey Medical Center.
"He went into shock, and his system was shutting down," Mary Lois said.
His blood pressure was something like 50/40 at one point, and his heart rate was low, she said. He was also put on dialysis because his kidneys were not functioning. His life was hanging in the balance.
Five days after Chuck was admitted to Hershey Medical Center, the second liver was ready for transplant.
"I had been on the list for seven or eight years," Chuck said. "In the back of my mind, I was prepared for the day that I would get the transplant."
He said he was very optimistic and upbeat when he got that first transplant in his 30s. At 50, he took a more realistic approach.
"If I passed, I was ready for that," he said.
The Phelps' pastor, Lee Saylor of Fairview Church of the Brethren, also was with the Phelps during those trying days in Hershey.
He described Chuck as the type of person who was always available when something needed done. He said Chuck served on the church board, including as chairman, as well as youth adviser and a Sunday schoolteacher.
"He's a very unique man," Saylor said, noting that Chuck persevered to help others despite his health issues.
Those issues became very serious after his body's reaction to that shot. Saylor said many times during those first few days, he thought Chuck might die.
During that time, members at Fairview Church suggested a prayer meeting.
Saylor, who was still in Hershey, emailed details to church members who would conduct the service. Saylor said they Skyped the service, and people layed hands on Chuck's image on the computer screen. The laying on of hands is a rite of blessing and healing, Saylor said.
Two days later, the first liver arrived.
When Chuck made it through the surgery, he said, his family and friends were jubilant.
"Most of my family was in my room partying," he said. "Then a few days later, we were in the deepest valley. We didn't know what was going to happen next."
What happened next was another life-threatening experience and a second unplanned major surgery.
When Chuck was able to eat, he became jaundice and felt itchy internally. Bile was getting into his blood stream because the transplanted organ did not adhere to the intestines. A second surgery was needed to reattach it.
He would received his nutrition through a feeding tube for a month.
Known for his positive attitude, Chuck recalls getting angry once through the whole ordeal of waiting for a healthy liver.
"I thought, 'This is not only affecting me, it is affecting Mary Lois,'" who was by his side during the 32-day hospital stay, he said. "We don't deserve this. We have done everything asked of us."
"It is like the rug is pulled out from under you," Chuck said.
Saylor, too, admitted the frustration but believes it was a time to pause.
"Whenever you are angry or tense, it doesn't go away. It just shows up someplace else," he said.
Saylor said they all needed to get the frustration out of their system. He said while people believe things happen for a reason, God does not want bad things to happen.
"God cried with us," he said, adding that he believes God assured them that he would get them through the situation.
"After receiving liver No. 4 [his own and three transplants], Chuck looked great," Saylor said.
Mary Lois said the scar tissue had been removed during the earlier transplant surgery and made it easier for doctors to insert the healthy one.
Today, Chuck continues his recovery at home with weekly trips to Hershey to make sure his healing is progressing as it should.
Reflecting on his ordeal, he believes it is the power of prayer that sustained him. A Scripture verse that has become meaningful to him is James 5:15 - "And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up ..."
Mary Lois and Chuck said not only the people in their church, but believers as far away as California and Florida and along the East Coast were praying for him.
"Even during our deepest, darkest night, we could feel support out there," Mary Lois said.

This is a fairy tale, Polish Police-style.
You know that one of my biggest regrets about not getting hooked on polish earlier is missing out on some great Chanel releases.
But I have awesome friends who have been helping fill the voids in my collection. The awesome Miss Bun has surprised me with bottles I never thought I'd find. Thanks to her, I have beauties like Or de Russie and Haute Chocolat sitting happily in my Helmer. Petah My Beloved Polish Elf has also been helping me in my Chanel quest, tracking down newer limited edition bottles (hello Gold Fingers!) and keeping my older Ebay finds safe until they could reach me.
My Chanel wish list is still a mile long and no matter how hard I try, some older shades just remain elusive.
Then a couple of weeks ago, my nail polish fairy magically appeared.
My nail polish fairy, who will remain unnamed, said she would try to help me find Chanel colors I'm still missing. I have a long list, I told her. She didn't seem fazed.
My nail polish fairy worked her magic and one day, I arrived home in the middle of the night to find this waiting for me.
It was three a.m., I had three tequila shots and two glasses of rum-spiked iced tea running through my veins, and I couldn't believe my eyes.
Inside the bag was a big Chanel box.
And the big Chanel box was heavy.
My head was buzzing and I started talking to myself.
Am I hallucinating? I haven't had tequila in a while. Does tequila make you see things? Is this beautiful box really in front of me?
Yes, it really was.
I opened it.
And my jaw dropped.
There were so many Chanels in the box.
Seventeen beautiful bottles and pretty colors. It was overwhelming.
It was a mix of gorgeous classics, shades I've been lemming forever and colors I didn't even know existed.
It was incredible. I swear, I woke up the next day thinking it was just a dream. But no, the box was still there. And all the pretty bottles were nestled inside.
I love every single one of them and one shade just took my breath away.
Kaleidoscope. I never thought I'd find my own bottle of this beauty. But thanks to my polish fairy's magic, my Kaleidoscope found its way home.
I immediately wore Kaleidoscope the next day. I love it so much. I love it so much I want to wear it again but I'm trying to resist – I'm scared I'll use it up too fast.
Thank you so much, nail polish fairy. Thank you for the magic and the incredible dose of Chanel love.
I'm still swooning.

|This holiday, discover your inner elf.
— The film's tagline
Elf is an American Christmas comedy film directed by Jon Favreau, written by David Berenbaum, and starring Will Ferrell, James Caan, Bob Newhart, Ed Asner, and Zooey Deschanel. It was released in the United States on November 7, 2003, and grossed over $220,400,000 worldwide.
One Christmas Eve, while Santa Claus is delivering toys to an orphanage, a baby named William, captivated by the sight of a teddy bear, crawls into Santa's sack of gifts. Santa unwittingly takes him back to the North Pole, where Papa Elf volunteers to raise him. William is renamed Buddy because he was wearing 'Little Buddy Diapers'. He is raised unaware that he is actually a human, until his enormous size and poor toy-making abilities force Papa Elf to tell him the truth. He reveals that Buddy was born to Walter Hobbs and Susan Wells and given up for adoption, and that Walter never knew that he was born. He explains how Susan later died, and that Walter now works at a children's book company in New York City. Santa tells Buddy that Walter is on "the naughty list"; nevertheless, he sets out for New York to find him.
Upon arriving in New York City, Buddy displays his ignorance in several ways, as he crosses the street at the wrong time, chews discarded gum on the subway station's handrails, and takes a coffee shop's claim to have the "world's best cup of coffee" literally. He eventually finds his father in the Empire State Building, but an incredulous Walter Hobbs has him thrown out. He takes a security guard's sarcastic suggestion to "get back to Gimbel's", where he is mistaken for an employee and meets the lovely but unenthusiastic Jovie. The next morning, he is shocked to discover that Gimbel's Santa is not the genuine article, and a fight ensues between them. He is arrested and sentenced to 24 hours in jail. Walter reluctantly bails him out and takes him to a pediatrician for a DNA test. Once it is proven that he is in fact Walter's son, he takes him home to meet his stepmother, Emily, and half-brother, Michael. Walter is clearly put off by his immature, innocent behavior (such as slathering his spaghetti with maple syrup and M&M's and not seeming to understand that Walter isn't interested in playing with him), but Emily insists that they take care of him until he "recovers".
Buddy befriends Michael after the former defeats a gang of bullies single-handedly in a snowball fight, and Michael encourages him to ask Jovie out. The next day, Walter reluctantly takes him to work with him, and uses his naïveté to send him down to the mailroom. He gets drunk on a coworker's whiskey, thinking it's syrup, and ends up throwing a party in there. That night, he goes on a date with Jovie. Walter, meanwhile, has been trying to save his floundering business by hiring the temperamental best-selling writer Miles Finch. When the vertically-challenged Miles arrives, Buddy innocently thinks he is an elf. Miles attacks Buddy after being pushed to his limit and storms out of the conference room without signing a deal with Walter's company. Walter is so angry over this setback that he yells at Buddy to "get out of his life" as well as stating that he doesn't care that he's an elf, that he's crazy, and that he's his son. Buddy leaves and Walter's associates give him disapproving looks. Buddy, now afraid of Walter's shadow, writes a message to him, and then he runs away with hurt feelings.
Meanwhile, Michael sees Buddy's message, and he bursts in on Walter's board meeting to tell him frantically that Buddy is gone. He manages to convince him to put his family above his job for the first time, and his boss fires him because of leaving the business meeting on him with Michael. Buddy looks up and sees Santa's sleigh crash in Central Park. He finds Santa, who explains that he lost the sleigh's engine and that the last bit of Christmas spirit on the Clausometer (which had powered the sleigh previously) had gone. He convinces Buddy to help him fix the sleigh. Walter and Michael find Buddy in Central Park as he locates the sleigh's engine. He takes them to meet Santa, who reveals to Michael that belief in him (manifested in knowing that he is bringing people what they want for Christmas) can make his sleigh fly. Michael therefore steals his list and reads it in front of the TV cameras now gathered outside the park, so that people all over New York City believe conclusively in him. The Central Park Rangers begin to chase his sleigh while Buddy is still trying to reattach the engine, and it is one point lost.
However, Jovie, remembering what Buddy had told her about how singing is the best way to spread the joy of Christmas, manages to overcome her shyness and get the sleigh in the air by the power of Christmas spirit when she leads the crowd in singing "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town", with even Walter eventually joining in. Later, he starts his own publishing company with the first book released being titled Elf, an account of Buddy's adventures. Buddy and Jovie also marry, have a daughter named Susie, and are shown to visit Papa Elf and the North Pole periodically.
The soundtrack was released in November 2003 in the USA and in October 2005 in the UK. The track listing is as follows:
- "Pennies from Heaven" - Louis Prima
- "Sleigh Ride" - Ella Fitzgerald and the Frank De Vol Orchestra
- "Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow" - Lena Horne
- "Sleigh Ride/Santa Claus Party" - Ferrante and Teicher/Les Baxter
- "Baby, It's Cold Outside" - Leon Redbone/Zooey Deschanel
- "Jingle Bells" - Jim Reeves
- "The Nutcracker Suite" - Brian Setzer
- "Christmas Island" - Leon Redbone
- "Santa Baby" - Eartha Kitt/Henri René and His Orchestra
- "Winter Wonderland" - Leon Redbone
- "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town" - Eddy Arnold
- "Nothing from Nothing" - Billy Preston
- A small store in Maine received a licensing fee from the producers after it was learned that they had owned the then-abandoned "Gimbel's" name.
- Much of the filming takes place in New York City, with the exception of the exterior scenes for Gimbel's, which were done in Vancouver.
- Director Jon Favreau makes a cameo appearance in the film as the Hobbs' family doctor.
- Jim Carrey was originally cast to play Buddy, but he passed on it, giving Ferrell his Hollywood breakthrough role after originally starring on Saturday Night Live.
- Ed Asner previously portrayed Santa Claus in The Story of Santa Claus and Olive, the Other Reindeer.
- The designs for Santa's workshop and the elf uniforms come from Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Additionally, the character of Leon the Snowman is an obvious parody of Sam the Snowman.
The film was released on VHS and DVD on November 16, 2004, and on Blu-ray on October 28, 2008. It was also made available as a Universal Media Disc for the PlayStation Portable in 2005. A Collector's Edition DVD and Blu-ray was released on October 26, 2010. A 10th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray/DVD combo pack was released on November 5, 2013.
In addition to the film's own individual releases, the DVD was also included in Warner Home Video's Christmas Comedy Collection box set, alongside A Christmas Story and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, in 2007. Two years later, it was then packaged in the Holiday Comedy Collection, along with Christmas Vacation and Fred Claus. The Blu-ray was also released as part of the Essential Holiday Collection Blu-ray set, which also included the Blu-rays of A Christmas Story, Christmas Vacation, and The Polar Express.
On November 14, 2010, a stage musical version of the film opened on Broadway at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre. It was directed by Casey Nicholaw, with music by Matthew Sklar, lyrics by Chad Beguelin, and a book by Bob Martin and Thomas Meehan. The cast included Sebastian Arcelus as Buddy, Amy Spanger as Jovie, Beth Leavel as Emily, Mark Jacoby as Walter, Matthew Gumley as Michael, Valerie Wright as Deb, Michael McCormick as Mr. Greenway, Michael Mandell as the store manager, and George Wendt as Santa. It ran through to January 2, 2011.
A stop-motion animated musical adaptation of the film, titled Elf: Buddy's Musical Christmas and starring Jim Parsons as Buddy, premiered on NBC on December 16, 2014.

Former State Sen. Earll, Mengine, Walczak lead Dahlkemper transition team
Former Republican State Sen. Jane Earll of Fairview, local lawyer Jim Walcazk and Tina Mengine, who served as Erie County Executive-elect Kathy Dahlkemper's chief of staff when the Democrat was in Congress, will lead Dahlkemper's transition team.
Dahlkemper, who takes office in January, made the announcement this morning during a news conference at the Blasco Library. She called all three highly qualified and politically savvy.
"They bring invaluable experience and they share my vision," Dahlkemper said.
Earll, Walczak and Mengine will work with 19 other Erie-area residents, with experience ranging from government, social services, education and business, on the transition. She said the entire team will focus on four "pillars" -- economic development, public safety, health and human services and operational efficiency.
Dahlkemper also announced the launch of www.erieforward.com, a website that invites Erie County residents to give ideas and input on moving Erie County forward.

Key items
The True Dragon Sword.
Ayani gives you a jewel completing the Dragon Sword. Now, you have the True Dragon Sword, a sword powered to Level 4, far stronger than the normal Dragon Sword, whose strength is only matched by the combination of the Dark Sword and True Dragon Sword (acquired in Chapter 14).
Scythe UT on the stairs..and everywhere in betweenObjective: Go down the stairs and reach Muramasa's shop in the house on ground level.
And you'll need the extra strength for the Tempered Gravestone, a brutally difficult level that requires strength over finesses. As you walk down the stairs through the village, mobs of Flame Ninjas and Archers will attack ruthlessly, throwing projectiles from every angle, swarming your immediate position. In this situation, the worst strategy is to run. The openness of the cliffs creates a tempting allure that you can run past the enemy, but they will find you, and hunt you, and kill you.
Use the scythe UT.
Instead of running away, approach the village systematically by killing each group one at a time with the scythe Ultimate Technique. The projectile from the UT will give you a safe distance from the incoming enemy, while killing those standing before you. Spamming the scythe UT is a great strategy when you don't know the position of the enemy, thanks to the autotarget mechanic. Plus, when you kill a group of enemies, your life will regenerate.
For situations when you don't have enough time to charge the scythe UT, immediately retreat and create space between you and the attacking enemy. Backtrack up the stairs. Find a safe location where you have enough time to charge and release the scythe UT before the enemy can hit you. When you cleared a group of enemies, look at your life bar and see if it had been regenerated. If so, proceed further in the village, walking slowly and cautiously, while looking for Archers and Flame Ninjas. Remember, don't rush things. Take your time.
When you've reached the bottom of the stairs, look for Muramasa's Shop and the Statue of the Earth Dragon in a house. Save your game and buy health and items before going farther into the village. You'll need a full stock of weapons for the upcoming epic fight against Flame Ninjas and several spider bosses.
The cluster of houses in the village
There's nothing in the house with the opened door, but there's something special behind the closed door of the house on the left side of the village. (Curious? The special items are Jewel of the Demon Seal and the Windmill Shuriken.) But in order to open the doors, you must have the Kureha's Room Key, found by interacting with the gravestones on a hill.
To get to the gravestones, run through the house, across the wooden bridge, past the locked house, and up the stairs on the hill. Up the stairs, you'll see a Jizo Statue Head on the ground before the turn. Then, past the Statue Head, look for several gravestones off the path, one of them containing Kureha's Room Key.
The Jizo Statue Head.
Now that the key is in your inventory, backtrack down the hill, across the wooden bridge, and back to the cluster of houses. The locked house is on the left (direction assumes you're facing the hills). Unlock the door and grab the Windmill Shuriken and Spirit of the Devils. Now return to Muramasa's Shop to replenish used items and depleted health for the next battle in the area with the locked house. (The battle is triggered when you get the Wind Shuriken.)
The showdown in front of the locked house
Forget about using the Art of the Inferno; it has little affect on the spider boss creatures. Instead, use Art of the Piercing Void, which should kill them in one hit. To maximize efficiency, line up the spider creatures in a line before firing the Art of the Piercing Void. When you run out of Ki, use the Spirit of the Devils that you found in the locked house to refill your Ki, as well as adding one more stock of Ki! For the Flame Ninjas, run around the area while throwing Incendiary Shurikens. Eventually, their numbers will dwindle, and you can finish the rest off easily by using the scythe or the True Dragon Sword. When you've killed all the enemies, the locked door will be unlocked.
HINT!! If you look along the water you will see 3 circles on 2 posts that look like targets.....hmmm. Shoot the targets and get rewarded for your cunning and accuracy with full health, ninpo and a nice hunk of Ki to spend!
To make the battle a lot easier, focus on killing the spider bosses first.
After the battle and through the door
Climb the ladder. You'll see a corpse by the window with the History of the Castle Dragon, then jump out the window.
Explore the perimeter around the house by the cliff for a Crystal Skull. By following the path that wraps around the house, you'll see a corpse holding an Herb of Spiritual Life, and a bit beyond it, a Crystal Skull behind a wooden wheel in a corner of alley. Once you past the boundaries of the village, you'll swim through a cave and run up a hill packed with shrubs before seeing a Statue of the Earth Dragon under the entrance of a cave.
Crystal Skull
Location: The house by the cliff. Behind a wooden wheel in a corner of alley.
Location: In a house on the grassy hill. Break the door to uncover the Crystal Skull.
The cave
Before you enter the cave, save your game at the Statue of the Earth Dragon by the cave's entrance. The cave is a loop that comes back to the entrance, so don't worry about being lost. Just beyond the Statue are Blue Essence in a chest on your right, and the Test of Valor on your left.
Test of Valor
Reward: Lives of the Thousand GodsEnemies: Dogs and Flame Ninjas
Outside the caveStuck? Unsure on where to go? Look to the left of the Statue of the Earth Dragon under the cave's entrance for the answer. Climb the rock stairs towards the top of the house, where you'll find the Hachijuro's NotebookGrains of Spiritual Life on a corpse in the corner.
Climb the rock stairs towards the top of the house.
The rope climbThe house leads to two mountains connected by a long rope. Naturally, you're supposed to climb the rope to the other side, where you'll find the Statue of the Earth Dragon. But before you shimmy across the rope, explore the area below the rope to find something special. A Crystal Skull! There's also a Life of the GodsBird Flip up the shaft and you should see it in a chest.
Crystal Skull
Location: From the first mountain, drop down through the shaft, and search the scaffolds for the Crystal Skull.
Muramasa gives you the Muramasa's Omusubi, an item that completely restores Ryu's health and heals all lasting damage.
Go up the hill while fighting the wolves, and you'll eventually see Muramasa's Shop.
The battlefield
You'll fight white ninjas and Flame Ninjas in the area marked by hundreds of arrows in the ground. The strategy relies on staying mobile by constantly running and dodging the Incendiary Shuriken, and attacking with the Flying Swallow. If you're feeling overwhelmed, use an Art of Inferno to target multiple enemies at once, but don't rely on Ninpo as a crutch -- the boss Genshin is up next, and you may want to use a Ninpo in the battle. Throw Incendiary Shurikens while running away from them, and when you run out, switch strategies and kill them through repeated Flying Swallow.
There's a corpse by a huge rock holding Koshimaru's Notebook.
Boss: Genshin
Genshin is easy. Just remember this simple yet effective strategy: attack with the scythe. That's it. Stay close to Genshin and repeatedly slash him with the scythe. You won't have to block, either. Assault him relentlessly, and execute a Ninpo for invincibility and to avoid his attacks, then dodge to the sides. Wait until Genshin whiffs his combo before getting in close and repeating the strategy.

Handloading and Reloading

Is there anything like this on the market currently? It would definitely speed up single-stage loading.

I doubt if there has been anything like that since the late 1930's when Sharpe's book "Complete Guide To Handloading" came out.
April 8, 2010, 12:21 AM
That's pretty cool. Even if there was I bet it wouldn't be cheap.

April 8, 2010, 11:27 AM
Hey folks,
RCBS and Lyman both make some pretty heavy duty powder measure stands which allow the powder measure to be attached to the stand and the stand firmly attached to the reloading bench. When loading single stage, I can take a block of cases ready to be charged and hold the whole block in one hand while operating the measure handle with my other hand. I just move the block so each case is placed under the measure mouth, cycle the handle, and move on to the next case until I have finished the block.
I am going to try to place a link to the RCBS Uniflow measure sitting on a stand to give an idea of how it sits up and allows block loading:
The picture on the left with the green measure and stand is the setup I mean. I regret the picture is small, and I cannot find a bigger picture. Lyman makes similar products also.
Best wishes,
Dave Wile
April 8, 2010, 05:22 PM
I use an RCBS setup as Dave described.
April 8, 2010, 05:35 PM
I'll bet that thing was a real joy with stick powder.
April 8, 2010, 08:38 PM
If the link works I thinks this stand may be what David Wile is referencing
David Wile
April 8, 2010, 09:10 PM
Hey WNTFW,
Yes, that seems to be the stand RCBS is using these days. My stand is over 40 years old and looks a little different, but I think it is essentially the same.
I don't know if anyone else missed it, but I failed to read the note completely on the picture in the first post. Apparently, that dispenser dropped charges in six cases at a time. That's a new one for me, and it is with some chagrin that I have to admit I did not notice that fact when I first looked at Alabama's picture and note. Getting too old.
Best wishes,
Dave Wile
April 8, 2010, 09:22 PM
That is one heck of a Powder Thrower...
I'd still want to peer into each Shell to see if all looked well though...

c++ code no recognizing occi.h.
C++ code not recognizing OCCI.H. How do I include it? Where do I chec for its availability?
Re: c++ code no recognizing occi.h.
How exactly is it "not recognising" it? Do you get an error?
Does it exist on your system? If so, where?
You include it with #include "occi.h", same as any other header.
Have you tried building the program with demo_rdbms.mk? That has rules for building OCCI programs and is self documenting; for instructions on how to use it, just open it in a text viewer/editor and have a look.
If it's not on your system you may need to install it from the Companion disk (10g) or Examples disk (11g).

Good doctor. Tells it like it is. Follows up where needed and involves specialists as needed. Keeps trying to help.
Dr. Burt is extremely intelligent and thoughtful, clearly stays up to date in medical research and recommended practices, and is very pleasant to interact with. Thank you!
I waited a long time to get in but Dr Burt is worth the wait. His staff is great too!
Dr Burt is great
So fortunate to have Dr Burt as my primary care MD.
nice enough guy, but when confronted with patient with chronic and complicated issues, he is a big disappointment. I guess I was spoiled by Dr. Brown who would question a diagnosis and go the extra mile to resolve a problem. With her I felt she was always in my corner. Now with Dr. Burt I feel like I have to battle him as well as my physical issues. No compassion or empathy. Does not question a specialists word over his patient. If you are healthy and just need routine care, he should be fine, but if you need more indepth care, find someone else.
We adore Dr. Burt. He was our physician in Sacramento for 5 years before going to Grass Valley. Our entire family misses him. He is not only highly skilled, but he is thorough, thoughtful in his approach, compassionate, and he truly listens to his patients. He genuinely listens and remembers conversations from past visits. He has excellent instincts which has served our family well, as we have had some serious medical issues in our big family. I highly recommend Dr. Burt as an ourstanding family doctor. Grass Valley is blessed to have him!
I have no bad things to say at all... excellent doctor, take care of me and my children.. I am glad to have him as my family doctor here in Sac..
I had a great visit with Dr. Burt. Cared about my issues and addressed them with care and concern. Great Doctor.He is great and I highly recommend
I have been very happy with the care Dr. Burt has given me. I've never had a problem getting an immediate appointment, office staff is friendly, and I always feel comfortable with Dr. Burt.
Dr. Burt does not seem to consider the needs of his patients. He take or offer to return a phone call for a simple question I had for him. As I was out of the area on work I was unable to come in for the appointment he insisted on even though I had just been in to seen in two months earlier. I was very disappointed with Dr. Burt.
Dr. Andrew Burt is a great doctor! He takes the time and talks with you, and makes sure that you leave assured that you have received great health care. Its hard to find a good doctor, but he definitely seems to be one.
Dr. Burt, is a warm and caring Doctor, that takes the time to fully inform the patient of all aspects of the treatment needed.

SOUTH Africans may be cutting back on some luxuries amid falling consumer spend but TV does not seem to be one of them.
Naspers announced yesterday that it had recorded growth at its pay-TV service, DStv, of a whopping 492000 new subscribers in SA in the financial year to March.
The R185bn company now has about 4,5-million subscribers in SA, benefiting from its subsidiary MultiChoice's decisions to introduce lower-end packages, such as the Compact and Family bouquets, which start from R99 a month. These now account for 36% of its subscription base.
The announcement comes as a blow to low-cost competitor TopTV launched in 2010, but has struggled to pull in the 500000 subscribers it required to break even.
At last count in November, that number had just passed 300000. TopTV was unable to provide Business Day with its latest subscription figures yesterday.
DStv's success also comes as the SABC earlier announced plans this year to tackle its falling viewership numbers.
With the migration to digital, the public broadcaster was planning to roll out up to 15 new channels over the next three years, including a dedicated 24-hour sports channel by the end of this year.
The pay-TV business, which represented Naspers's largest revenue stream, grew 15% to R24,1bn, while trading profits grew 11% to R6,3bn.
And it is not just the satellite TV channels that are finding new audiences. The company announced that its on-demand digital movie rental business, Box Office, which was launched in July last year, had also been a star performer with monthly movie rentals averaging 300000 a month.
The service, which is available on the premium package, allows viewers to rent movies at the click of the remote control for R25. This translates to an average of R7,5m in revenue a month for MultiChoice.
Overall, the pay-TV businesses recorded growth of 684000, including 192000 new subscribers across Africa, which helped it surge to 5,6-million homes on the continent.
While it conceded that trading margins were reduced by investment in local content, decoder subsidies and the development of new products, an investment bank analyst said the pay-TV operation had performed well over the past 12 months.
"It experienced better revenue trends in Africa, coming off a low base and especially due to macro and foreign exchange pressure in the first half of the year," said the analyst, who could not be named due to company policy.
Eben Greyling, CEO of pay-TV platforms at Naspers, said the company was pleased with growth of 18% especially after a slow start to the year. Annual growth in subscriber numbers had been about 21% over the past four years, he said.
The company would continue to invest substantially in infrastructure and content, Mr Greyling said.

Memento Morrie
Morrie Schwartz, While Dying, Teaches Writer Mitch Albom the Secrets of Living
Albom felt he had to know why. So starting that summer, he began making weekly trips from the Detroit area to Schwartz's home in West Newton, Mass. The result is Tuesdays with Morrie, a slender but emotionally weighty account of Albom's final seminar with Schwartz—the 14 Tuesdays that they spent together before Coach, as Albom always called him, died of his illness in November 1995. The book is divided into "classes," interspersed with scenes from the old days at Brandeis and updates on Morrie's declining condition. The reader hears Morrie advise Mitch to slow down and savor the moment ("I believe in being fully present"), to give up striving for bigger toys and, above all, to invest himself in love ("love is how you stay alive, even after you are gone").
Familiar pronouncements, of course, but what makes them fresh is Morrie's eloquence, his lack of self-pity (making plans to be cremated, he tells his rabbi, "Make sure they don't overcook me") and his transcendent humor, even in the face of death ("I'm on the last great journey here—and people want me to tell them what to pack"). In the end, as Albom says, Tuesdays with Morrie is "not a book about death and dying at all. It's a book about how to live well and be fulfilled."
Growing up in Philadelphia, the second of three children of a corporate-executive father and an interior-designer mother, Albom enrolled at Brandeis in 1975. He soon signed up for Schwartz's sociology course and instantly regretted it. There were just a dozen students and no place to hide. He needn't have worried. "Mitchell Albom," Morrie sang out that first day. "Do you prefer Mitch? Or is Mitchell better?" When Albom said that his friends called him Mitch, Schwartz responded, "Well, Mitch it is then.... And Mitch? I hope one day you will think of me as your friend."
Morrie was an inventive teacher, the kind who would enter a class and not say a word for 15 minutes, then lead a discussion on the effect of silence on human relations. Or who might have a student close his eyes, fall backward and be caught by another student, then discuss the need for mutual trust. Says Schwartz's son, Rob, 35, a journalist living in Tokyo: "Students used to come up to me all the time and say, 'Oh, you're so lucky to have him as a father.' " Adds Gordie Fellman, a Brandeis sociology colleague: "Morrie charmed the hell out of everybody. He was a fantastic dancer. He would wear out 600 graduate women in an evening. He was not your standard-issue professor."
Mitch took all of Schwartz's classes, ate with him in the cafeteria, even visited at his home. "He was that first adult you trust besides your parents," says Albom. On graduation day in 1979, Mitch gave Morrie a briefcase with his initials on it and promised he would stay in touch.
He didn't, of course. After a few years chasing a career as a piano player in New York City, he eventually took a job at the Detroit Free Press. "When I got into journalism," says Albom, who soon started doing radio and books on the side, "I just went full tilt. I worked from the minute I got up until late at night." For 10 years, Albom—who married singer Janine Sabino, now 41, in 1995—was named the nation's top sports columnist by the Associated Press Sports Editors. He was successful beyond his dreams, but something was missing.
He didn't know what, exactly, until one night in March 1995 when, channel surfing, he saw Schwartz chatting with Ted Koppel on Nightline about what it was like to die. The next day he called Schwartz. "Morrie," he said, "this is Mitch Albom. I was a student of yours in the '70s. I don't know if you remember me." Without missing a beat, Schwartz replied, "How come you didn't call me Coach?"
Albom hadn't meant to write a book when he went for that first visit; he just wanted to pay his respects and apologize for not keeping in touch. The book came later, as a way of helping to pay Schwartz's medical expenses. When Oprah Winfrey featured the book on her TV talk show in October, Tuesdays with Morrie became a national bestseller. But for Albom the rewards kicked in much earlier.
By most accounts his reunion with Morrie has left him a changed man. "Mitch used to work like crazy," says Rachel Nevada, who does a Detroit radio show with him. "Now he's mellowed out." Seeing his old professor die, says Albom, awakened him to the fact that he needed other people and they needed him. He reached out to his brother, Peter, 37, who lives in Europe and had distanced himself emotionally while undergoing treatment for cancer. And he even began to think seriously about starting a family of his own. "I didn't talk about having kids until after this," he says. Explains Janine: "We talked about it. But now it's a priority."
Above all, perhaps, Albom regained his capacity for wonder. "I'd become cynical—I'd seen enough of rich athletes in this culture, enough of O.J. and Marv Albert," says Albom. "But, with Morrie, I was transported to being the way I was back in college—wide-eyed. That was Morrie's magic."

iPerceptions Inc., a leading provider of Web-focused Voice of Customer (VoC) analytics based on actual visitor feedback and Peppers & Rogers Group, recently announced ten tips for making websites sticker. These recommendations are based on data from thousands of iPerceptions' surveys and analysis from Peppers & Rogers Group. The data and analysis reveals that while it's fairly easy for most companies to identify at which point during an online interaction a customer has abandoned, it's historically been more challenging to determine why they abandoned.
"Determining how to make a website more engaging and satisfactory for customers begins with understanding their motivations for visiting in the first place," said Duff Anderson, co-founder and vice president of research at iPerceptions. "This type of information can be gathered by conducting online surveys with customers and through other feedback mechanisms, such as Voice of Customer programs and focus groups. Behavioral information, like high percentage of visitor drop-offs at the same point in a particular task, can also help decision-makers determine what functions or processes need to be examined."
This slideshow is a compilation of recommendations from iPerceptions and Peppers & Rogers Group on the most effective ways to make websites stickier.

LA Times:
SACRAMENTO -- State labor regulators have ordered a Chino warehouse operator to pay more than $1 million in overtime plus $200,000 in penalties for hundreds of state labor law violations.
State Labor Commissioner Julie Su issued citations Monday to Quetico, a warehouse and distribution company that handles shoes, apparel and electronic goods for Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and other big-box retailers.
The commissioner's investigation of two Quetico facilities, totaling a half-million square feet, found that the company created restrictive procedures which shorted 865 workers of their wages. Employees were forced to come to work early to stand in long lines to punch time cards at only three available clocks, the state said.
Employees also were denied legally required lunch and rest breaks, the state said.
"Wage theft takes many forms," Su said in a statement.
"My office will crack down on any employer who is taking hard-earned wages from workers by falsifying time cards and systematically preventing employees from taking a full meal break.... We are also intent on eliminating the competitive advantages that labor law violators gain over employers who play by the rules."
Quetico did not respond to a request for comment on the alleged labor law violations.
Quetico's warehouses also have been cited by state agencies for safety violations in the last year, according to Warehouse Workers United, a union-backed group that has been campaigning to highlight alleged labor abuses at Inland Empire distribution centers used by Wal-Mart and other retailers.
"Many of the problems that we commonly see in Southern California warehouses are concentrated at this warehouse," said Guadalupe Palma, the group's director.
Typical Big Govermint taking away your freedoms.
Employers have to "play by the rules!?"
Yeah, Guvermint rules. I never seen anything in the Konstitushun about "Wage Theft."
Them Liberuls!!!
I think there is something wrong when all of the government regs which monitored monopolies, unfair business practices, etc. were taken out of effect and the GOP let anything go.
I do remember studying that in college. I had profs. who were not liberals but conservative, ethical historians who studied govt., business, economics, etc.
They saw the rise of the monopolies and these gigantic monopolies paid NO allegiance to any flag. They had free reign to do as they please.
The republicans were notorious to lift all rules and regs that prevented this catastrophe in the name of free enterprise.
I don't know about the new regs which I believe are now too intense as the pendulum swung way too fast and too much to the left. Time will tell if this does improve businesses.
Businesses with no government controls is what everyone good thief wants. They want to ride rough shod over everything.

'What does EMA gain by ending MJT partnership?'
- Details
- Published on Saturday, 14 November 2009 07:00
- Written by Staff
SAN DIEGO - What does EMA gain by ending up the cooperation with MahjongTime in MORSE tournaments? Slava Novozhenya, president of MahjongTime, still does not understand.
Last week, the European Mahjong Association broke off the cooperation with MahjongTime in organizing online mahjong tournaments, because this internet mahjong server had cancelled the German Online Open Championship, which was scheduled for November 7~8. Earlier, talks between the Dutch Mahjong Association and MahjongTime about MJT sponsoring the World Mahjong Championship were suspended.
But Mr. Novozhenya does not see any link between the two: the sponsor contract, and the cooperation in MORSE (the Mahjong Online Ranking System Europe).
So now he asks the visitors of MahjongNews to give their opinions. "MahjongNews readers could lead EMA to make right decisions", he says.
His question to the visitors of MahjongNews is:
"What does EMA gain by ending our partnership agreement before its expiration date? Is this decision fair for EMA players, who lost MORSE tournaments?"
You can fill in the 'Add you comment on this article' document below. Any visitor can do so; however, those who sign in, will see their comment published immediately.
If EMA have something to gain, it's make MJT react and communicate with them.
It would be better if they react by friendly speach, and not try to turn players against EMA. Giving arguments in favor of MJT will be great too, but they didn't seem to find any.
Pointing out there is no alternative servers for now* is not a argument to justify a partnership.
*I mean in English and with Chinese Official rules.

After years of bad news, the economy finally appears to be gaining strength. The unemployment rate fell to 8.9 percent in February according to a report released Friday.
Manufacturing is also growing at its fastest pace in nearly seven years, shoppers are spending more money, and the nation's service sector added 47,000 jobs last month.
With leading indicators showing the economy gaining strength in the months ahead, analysts predict a brighter future for the job market.
"I think we finally have a prescription for a better job market," said Mark Zandi, chief economist for Moody's Analytics Inc.
Stocks soared in anticipation of the news. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose more than 190 points on Thursday.
"We're seeing jobs in the health care area, manufacturing, especially in defense manufacturing, in sales, and in retail," said Tony Zeiss, president of Central Piedmont Community College in Charlotte, N.C.
However, it will take a long period of economic growth to bring the unemployment rate back down to pre-recession levels. Millions of Americans are still looking for work.
At a job fair in Central Peidmont Community College Thursday, the line of job seekers wrapped around the building.
"It's wild, all these people are unemployed, looking for work," said Valdora Chapman, a job seeker. "Wow. That's all I can say."
Another threat to economic growth is rising prices. Global food prices are at their highest levels in 20 years.
Also, gas prices continue to rise amid unrest in oil rich Libya.
"Sustained rises in the prices of oil or other commodities would represent a threat both to economic growth and to overall price stability," said Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke.
Many analysts believe the oil shock may slow down the recovery for a while -- but won't stop it. For now, unemployed Americans welcome new opportunities to find work.
"I got my heels on today, but I'm going to stand out here until my feet start bleeding," Chapman said.*Originally broadcast on March 4, 2011.
Unemployment Benefits Jump to 410,000
Fewer Filed for Jobless Aid Last Week

Can Williams Still Be Great?
could you see him rolling Lara, meeting Martinez again & beating him, after that being called the most feared man in boxing again, and going on to have battles with guys like Taylor, Abraham, Pavlik, Kirkland, Canelo, Chavez, Cotto, Mayweather, & Pac while doing very well against them?
It wasnt long ago that some thought he was a beast and could either beat all of those guys or give them mad hell. Now its like he fell off the map and is even talking retirment. An impressive win against Lara & he starts to pickup steam again.
Its actually good because I think he can get more bigger fights now because with the Martinez defeat he has to be resigned to the fact of taking less money to get back to the top and alot of guys dont fear him as they once did so they would take that challenge now.
He's in the prime spot to make alot of big things happen but can he get back to the top? Thats if he was really the goods in the 1st place which some dont think he ever was that good. What are you guys thoughts? What do you see happening to him?

Assuming he suffered no ill effects from that KO:
There isnt a 154 Pounder alive that beats him other than Sergio. Even with Martinez I give Sergio a 60-40 edge. Williams took round 1 with ease but got caught the second round. He stays on his feet he is the only fighter at that weight who can handle Sergio.
Angulo, Cotto, Canelo, Margarito all get hammered up pretty badly. Especially Cotto and Canelo. I cant say Bobby making the Cotto fight. He didnt want it when Cotto was prime he really doesnt want it now.
Hes in a tough spot. If he dominates Lara NO ONE other than Sergio will have the balls to go after him. If he struggles and still win he can get Vanes, K9, or Dzinznriuk in the ring. If he loses he might as will retire while he still has good health.
I dont see him moving up to 168 anytime soon. Heck he just moved down a division. Hes barely outgrown WW. I cant see that move yet.
With all that said he should try to enforce his number 1 contender status for Alvarezs belt. Or try to fight Angulo which seems like a long shot given his status.
So its either Canelo, K9, Dzinziruk, or Vanes. Not a bad list at all. 3 of those fighters are Champions so I would guess a title shot is next.
Hbo might have their eye on Williams-Dzinziruk that was his Plan B if the Martinez rematch couldnt go down.
Every boxing organization had him Top 10 P4Pound for a reason. The ring had him at 7. A lot of other publications had him at 3-5. A dominating win puts him RIGHT back on the P4P list.
A lot of noob, troll posters treated Paul as if he lost to a bum. Then thy turn around and say Martinez should be P4P number 1 based on that win. He wins hes right back in the thick of things.

I dont see HBO putting Dzinziruk back on after the way Sergio just destroyed him. Angulo sound like a very interesting fight though. Nice little war

That was a prime Margarito who is much better than todays Angulo to be honest. Paul woudlve done him the same way.

One thing he needs to do is either get a better trainer who can teach him how to stay outside, box, & use his reach or he needs to just make sure he goes back to his old style of throwing a thousand punches/brawling because he looked so confused in that Cintron fight.
You could tell he was trying to pull himself back from his natural style of letting his hands go & pick his spots but he was awful at it. Then it seemed like he argued with his trainer about it some, and started to own Cintron when he switched back to his natural style

If you plan on getting a lot of downloads from Xbox Live, I suggest the Premium pack. It comes with a 20GB Hard drive, which will cost you $100 alone, so add that with the Core pack and you get $400. I would just get Oblivion and try a bunch of games from GameFly. You can also buy a Wired Controller (which I strongly suggest, unless you plan on having your 360 far away from your seat) for $30. As for games, you might wanna try Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-Earth 2 if you like LOTR and RTSs (I think that's what they're called). Yes, you can still hook up your 360 to your router. So, all I can say is this:
If you want memory, get Premium
Try games from GameFly (Suggesting LOTR: BFME2)
If you wanna get another controller, get a wired one
Yes you can hook it up to your router

Hi all,
First some background which is not necessary to understand the rest of this
post: I encountered the below problem while looking into some videodev.c
reference counting patches in combination with converting videodev.c from
register_chrdev, to register_chrdev_region + cdev. I wanted to put links to
relevant posts here, but for some reason the video4linux-list archive is
private, I'll kick someone about that.
Now the problem, struct cdev contains a kobj for reference counting, which gets
initialized either in cdev_alloc (for dynamically allocated cdev structs) or in
cdev_init (for structs part of a larger struct). Thus setting the reference
count to 1. When the device underlying the cdev is removed (usb disconnect for
example) cdev_del gets called which does a kobject_put on the kobj, lowering
the ref count to 0 causing it to be released.
However releasing the cdev struct, while some apps still has an open fd
refering to the character device is not a good idea, so chrdev_open does a
kobj_get on the cdev's kobj.
And here is the problem when the fd refering to the character device gets
closed, no-one does a kobj_put. chrdev_open replace the file's f_op pointer
with the device driver fops, so the only fops release which will get called is
that of the device driver, cdev_put (which will call kobj_put on the kobj) is
exported, so device driver release methods could and I guess should call
cdev_put, but under drivers/char there is not a single driver calling cdev_put !!
So unless I'm missing something the kojb release callback never gets called.
I see 2 solutions here:
1) Fix all cdev users to call cdev_put on their cdev in their fops release
method, adding a release method to do this where necessary, but this seems
rather error prone
2) Add a private fops struct to cdev, which gets filled with the device drivers
fops, except for release, which will point to a chrdev_release function
which call cdev_put after calling the device driver fops release method if
present, to me this seems the preferable solution.
While on this topic in case of an usb device whose driver exports an chardev to
userspace, the device can be disconnected while the chardev is still open.
Currently usb-chardev drivers need to do their own reference counting in their
open / release fops to make sure their device structure stays around until the
last user has closed the device.
If the reference counting in cdev is fixed, this would almost be an exact
duplicate of the ref counting done in the device driver, thus I would like to
propose to add a release function ptr to the cdev structs which if not NULL
gets called from the cdev kobj release handler, then then device driver no
longer has to duplicate the ref counting.
This esp seems to make sense in cases where the device driver uses cdev_init,
as then the cdev structure could currently be freed by the device driver (in
