Tommy Morrison
I was watching some Morrison fights today and I remember when he was supposed to be like a white version of Mike Tyson. So after watching them I do remember him having great power, but also a glass jaw. How far do you think he would have went if not for the whole HIV thing?

Good fighter. But honestly, he probably had peaked before he was diagnosed with HIV. He was never the sort of fighter who would have beaten the likes of Bowe, Holyfield, Tyson and obviously Lewis.
His best performance was probably the win over Foreman. It showed real discipline for him to box and move rather than get involved, which was his usual game.
Excellent left hook, but yes....not the most solid chin.

In 1996 after the loss to Lennox Lewis, but he just Ko'ed Marcus Rhode.
Before that he just Ko'ed Razor Ruddick.

have you seen his stoppage losses?
he's very clearly got a less than solid chin. his lights go out very quickly and he doesn't recover. he's also got poor survival instincts and skills.

Morrison was a very exciting fighter. You always knew something was going to happen even if you didn't know who it was going to happen to. Watching him meant you were going to be on the edge of your seat waiting for someone to get ko'd. I remember I had a friend over that never watched boxing and Morrison's bout against Joe Hipp was coming on. I told my friend that it was going to be a good fight and by the end of the fight my friend was standing up yelling at the tv. Turned him into an instant boxing fan!
For those of us that watched Morrison's rollercoaster of a career from the begining til the end definitely have to appreciate the ride!

Featured Golf News
Fifth Patriot Golf Day Sets Fundraising Record
In honor of Veterans Day this week, the Folds of Honor Foundation has announced its preliminary fundraising numbers from Patriot Golf Day. Through the support of PGA professionals and United States Golf Association (USGA) members, Patriot Golf Day events have already raised a record amount of more than $3.2 million (as of November 4) to benefit the Folds of Honor Foundation, bringing the five-year total to more than $12 million.
Held over Labor Day Weekend, the Fifth Annual Patriot Golf Day gave golfers an opportunity to honor American heroes and their families by making donations at participating golf facilities nationwide.
The inaugural Patriot Golf Day was held September 1, 2007, and resulted in donations of more than $1.1 million. In 2010, Patriot Golf Day donations totaled $3.2 million and this year's donations have already topped that total with facilities continuing to report and host fundraising events throughout the end of the year.
Patriot Golf Day is the primary fundraiser for the Folds of Honor Foundation, which provides educational scholarships for children and spouses of military service men and women killed or disabled while serving our great nation. More than 2,200 educational scholarships have been awarded by Folds of Honor since its inception in 2007.
"PGA professionals and USGA members continue to be an inspiration with their unwavering support of our American military and the Folds of Honor Foundation," said PGA of America President Allen Wronowski. "The PGA of America considers it a privilege to use the game of golf to honor the sacrifice of those who daily defend our freedom."
Patriot Golf Day was originated by Major Dan Rooney, a PGA professional, USGA Member and former F-16 military pilot from Broken Arrow, Okla., who has served three tours of duty in Iraq. During Labor Day Weekend at participating courses nationwide, golfers were asked to donate at least $1 for each round of golf. Non-golfers participated by making a donation to the foundation at the Folds of Honor website (see below for a link). More than 4,500 PGA facilities registered to host Patriot Golf Day activities this year.
President George W. Bush served as Honorary Chairman of Patriot Golf Day Weekend for the second consecutive year and helped "kick-off" the weekend festivities by playing a round of golf with Major Rooney, Wronowski, veteran amputee Major Ed Pulido and FOX & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade, September 1, at Dallas (Texas) National Golf Club.
"We continue to be awed by the generosity of the golf community when it comes to educating the legacy of our military service men and women who sacrificed life and limb to protect this great nation," Rooney said. "Education is vital for the next generation, and I couldn't be more humbled to be able to make it a possibility for military families."

Not great
Got it on free promotion , would never pay 8.99 for it. This game requires very little skill because all fight results are arbitrary. Also the in app purchasable items create an uneven playing field because they are far superior than the weapons that are earnable in the game, whoever created this game was clearly interested in money and not putting out a good game. Trust me, if you get this game you will see my point.
This game is tona of fun until recently when i got stuck on the arena page and it wont let me click any other tabs and when i click refresh it says "null" please help!
Takes to long
It takes to long to level up Also. Please fix. Since the fatigue takes so long to come back it would take like 11 days to get to level 11

Shocking & Offensive? Bad Children Book ArtSelena Mills
It's rare that my mouth drops open when carousing the internets. Which, I suppose is good; reactionary I am not. A blogger needs to have that sort of thick skin.
This illustrated series, "Satire, Humor and Visual Parody of Classic Children's Books From the 1940s Through 1960s." by Bob Staake, really had my eyes bugging out a few times.
I suppose because, in essence, they are all just so wrong. Becasue they feature children, of course. Some people don't like satire, slapstick or any form of dark/sick humour at all. Some people like it in small doses and it seriously messes with tender sensibilities should it ever revolve around children.
Me? I'm not so sure. I must admit, that I laughed out loud at more than a few of these twisted 'classics'. I suppose I love being offended. What do you think?

OSHA News Release - (Archived) Table of Contents
OSHA National News Release
U.S. Department of Labor
News Release USDL:96-176
Thursday, May 9, 1996
Contact: Frank Kane (202) 219-8151
Lyondell-Citgo Agrees To Pay $200,000 In OSHA Fines Following Houston, Texas Refinery Incident That Affected 100 Workers
Lyondell-Citgo Refining Co. has agreed to pay the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)$200,000 in penalties for citations from OSHA's investigation of an incident involving gases from burning oil at its Houston, Texas, refinery that affected 100 workers.
The incident occurred Nov. 21, 1995. Disulfide oil, a chemical used to clean sulfur at the petroleum products refinery, passed through a flare and ignited. The gases from the burning oil affected 100 contract workers who experienced respiratory system irritation and required medical attention.
Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health Joseph A. Dear said, "The employer not only agreed to pay the proposed penalties in full, but will take all the steps necessary to try to prevent any repetition of such an incident at the refinery." Dear added that the settlement also avoids the cost and burden of prolonged litigation, while furthering the interests of everyone in making the workplace safe as soon as possible.
OSHA issued citations for three unclassified violations and one serious violation of its standard for process safety management of highly hazardous chemicals. The citations involved errors and omissions in written operating procedures for three of the 26 units in the refinery.
The company, OSHA, and Oil, Chemical and Atomic Workers (OCAW) Local 4-227, AFL-CIO, representing workers at the refinery, have agreed that the operating procedures should be rewritten not only for those three units, but plantwide. All 1,300 employees at the refinery will have new operating procedures in full compliance with the standard by December 1997 rather than December 1998 -- the company's original date for compliance.
Lyondell-Citgo will submit reports on its progress to OSHA every 30 days, and will meet quarterly with representatives of OSHA and the union to review the progress.

continuation of conference call transcript
"..Danny Oliver - SVP, Marketing & Business Development
Yeah, we are completing final negotiations on many of those agreements. It entails both the supply of the Y-grade also the off take of the purity grades and then of course we have to finish constructing the fractionators, the two fractionators exist are being refurbished and reconstructed.
And Bryan I know you probably know this but just for the benefit of everybody on the call, we are getting into this NGL transportation and fractionation solely on a fee basis. These are deals backed by long term contracts. We never take ownership of the commodity. There's no price risk. We are not exposing ourselves to any margin risk and so I'm sure you know that but I just wanted to reiterate that when I had an opportunity to do so...."
I'm still totally confused as to what the status is of the Texstar merger. I believe it was completed in Dec. from the press releases. I emailed the company to try to get a clarification about what's going on.
Sentiment: Hold
Steve they competed phase 1 which was oil, gathering and storage in Dec for $325 million which was again the majority of the transaction. They still needed to complete phase 2, the y grade (ngl) line and fractionators on which they were negotiating take or pay contracts before finalizing for $100 million

We Need a Better FBI
According to NBC News, the FBI was alerted as recently as last November by Russia's security services regarding serious new concerns about one of the Boston bomber brothers. Tamerlan Tsarnaev, while spending half a year with his family back in the city of Makhachkala, in the Republic of Dagestan, made six visits to see an Islamic terrorist in a mosque.
A case file on Tsarnaev was sent over to the FBI, and the Russians pleaded with the agency to check the guy out. The FBI never called back.
They interviewed the nice young man in 2011, after Russia had raised earlier concerns that he was becoming a radical Islamist, but found nothing "derogatory" against him and did not pursue the case further.
"Derogatory?" Really? That's FBI speek nowadays for crazed Muhamadians looking to mass murder American civilians?
How different was the FBI's failure in this case from that famous 2001 flop, when they ignored alerts from field agents about a bunch of Arabs taking flight lessons who asked to skip the part about landing their plane?
Not so different at all, since the New York Times reported that the Department of Homeland Security put a "hold" on Tsarnaev's citizenship application, after a routine background check came up with the 2011 FBI interview. Why didn't the FBI show the same level of interest in the FBI interview? And why was he allowed to stay in the country at all? He's not a citizen, you don't owe him a nice life in the Land of the Free – if you suspect him enough to deny him citizenship – kick him the heck out!
Senator Lindsey Graham told CNN the other day: "Either our laws are insufficient or the FBI failed, but we're at war with radical Islamists and we need to up our game."
In my view, the Patriot Act has already gutted the constitution sufficiently. What else are they going to take away, on top of habeas corpus? Americans are already enduring so much deprivation of their civil rights – the problem is not the laws, it's bad police work.Yori Yanover

MLB Releases Statement About International Draft
?The Office of the Commissioner and the Players Association have discussed various issues regarding international amateur players, including the possibility of an international draft. While both parties discussed an international draft, an agreement was not reached on some of the mechanics and procedures related to such a draft. Thus, an international draft will not be implemented in 2014. The parties intend to continue to discuss international amateur talent issues, and the current system of international talent acquisition as described in the Collective Bargaining Agreement will remain in place at this time.?

Christmas in August! Fox Schedules 'The X Factor' Finale During Holidays
Thank you Fox! Thank you Preston Beckman! Beckman heads up scheduling for Fox. Bill and I both love the sometimes surly (alter ego?) snark of his kinda-sorta but not really anonymous Twitter account. Now we have even more reason to love him. A little bit of interest in the ratings — in late December! Fox scheduled the two night finale of The X Factor for Wednesday and Thursday December 21-22. So a few days before Christmas and Kwanza, and during Hanukkah. Happy holidays indeed.
Our site traffic takes a tumble every year during the holidays, usually starting the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and not recovering until early January. Decembers are dark and relatively lonely around here. Last year our site traffic on the fourth Thursday of December was less than half of the traffic we had the Thursday before Thanksgiving. It's sure to be a little bit better this year.
Is it too much to hope for a new episode of Fringe on Friday December 23? I doubt it happens, since X-mas travel probably will spike on Friday. But it would make for a very merry Christmas Eve day for us on Saturday December 24. I don't think it's a ridiculous far-fetched notion, but I'm a little biased. Fox would have the (probably very big) finale of The X Factor the night before to promote it…

FIFA 11 was a great game, one of, if not the best sports game of 2010, but it was in many ways just a tweaked version of the previous version, which itself was a refined version of what came before. FIFA 12 is shaping up to be different. After seeing some of the big changes EA Sports is making this year, the publisher might not be far from the truth when it calls FIFA 12 a revolution. Here are the key gameplay changes and additions to this year's game that EA has revealed. For more general impressions head over to our FIFA 12 first-look preview.
Pressing no longer auto tackles
If like us your defending in FIFA over the last few years has relied entirely on holding down the 'press' button - the almost magical button that makes your selected player home in on the opposing player with the ball and tackle them, you're out of luck in FIFA 12. In comes a new containing move, which positions your defender a few metres from the attacker, with you having to determine when you move in for the key tackle. EA promises that it will make things more challenging and opens up slick offensive options for skilled players who can dribble around oncoming defenders.
Better control in tight situations
In previous versions of FIFA and football games in general, trying to dribble with the ball when you're in close proximity to other players or near the edge of the pitch has been nigh-on impossible. You just didn't have the close ball control or slight movements to do what you wanted. This has been changed in FIFA 12. The new game engine uses the current context of your player's situation on the pitch and automatically determines if you require more adept control. This works when trying to move past defenders on the sideline or while knocking the ball about in front the penalty box while trying to get off a shot.

We arrive to this apparent, but it wasn't the apartment advertised. The woman didn't tell us despite having spoken to me the day of our arrival. They made it out like our new apartment was do much nicer and it was like they were doing us a favor but the shower smelled of urine, there was urine on one of the pillows, fluff on the floor and the sofa bed tilted so that it hurt our backs and made us fall half down a gap. We also messaged the owner asking for some information but still no response and we have now left.

We had a very nice stay at Prague in the Executive Bright Appartement. It was a nice, little appartement, tidy and absolute alright for three people. The hosts gave us a lot information about the trams, exchanges, etc. which was very helpful if you stay the first time in Prague.
Very good and clean apartment!

So I want to go ahead and address the whole, "So do you seriously believe that the bread and wine actually turn into the body and blood of Christ?" question. Yeah, I do. It wasn't easy, lemme tell ya. A lot of my hang-up was the arrogance of the Catholic Church saying that it only happened in THEIR church (well, and the Orthodox Church), and therefore, I hadn't really ever received a "real" communion in my whole life. How insulting! But it was also grasping the extent to which Catholics believe in the transubstantiation of the elements. I've always believed the bread and the wine REPRESENTED the body and blood of Christ, but jumping from that to they ARE NOW the body and blood of Christ isn't a single leap. It's like there's several steps in between. I'm not quite sure how to explain it, but it's recognizing that the elements are more than representatives, and yet, still not believing they're the actual thing. I hung out in the in-between for a long time.
When Lukus was talking to one of his brothers about our confirmation that was coming up, he explained that the biggest significance was going to be that we could partake in the Eucharist for the first time. We got to talking about what that meant, about the priest consecrating the bread and wine, and at that moment, the elements become the flesh of Christ. His brother responded that that sounded really hocus-pocus-y. Which I totally understand. I was there too. But when you start to realize how many insanely weird things Jesus did (spitting in mud and sticking it in a guy's eye to heal his blindness, sending a swarm of demons into a herd of pigs), it ALL sounds pretty hocus-pocus-y if you're hearing it for the first time. It's just that there are some miracles we're used to and comfortable with, and some, well, they creep us out.
I'm not going to go into a litany of logical, scriptural, or historical reasons as to why the Eucharist is what the Catholic Church claims it to be – there are plenty of blogs, books, lectures and podcasts dedicated to that one subject by far better equipped and knowledgeable people than I. My intent is to share my own experience, and how I came to process the concept.
First of all, because the Church preceded Scripture, compiled Scripture into the book we have today, and for 400 years before that, practiced and interpreted Scripture, I've come to place a pretty heavy weight on what historical traditions and Church practices there were alongside Scripture. So if for 400 years, the early Christians believed that the bread and wine were ACTUALLY the body and blood of Christ, I have to take that into account. Lukus flooded me with writings from early Church fathers who wrote very specifically on the subject. So that was probably Phase 1 of recognizing more than just a representation going on.
Phase 2 had me pondering what communion was really even for. It always seemed so abstract in the Protestant Church, like it was partly a simple meal of mutual fellowship, and, well, I don't really know what else. It was supposed to have an element of transformative or healing power, but that was all kind of up to your faith and how earnestly you received it. It was kind of up to me about whether I was receiving just bread and wine (or more commonly, grape juice), or if by my faith it somehow was something more. It was a practice that I'd always enjoyed in church, but it was all so ambiguous – something we did just because disciples of Jesus did this thing.
I felt like there had to be more to it than that. God's ways are always deeper and richer than what they appear to be on the surface. So I prayed about it.
Then God got all science-y on me. Several years ago, I had done a personal study on the book of Genesis. If you compare the first verses of John 1 to the first verses of Genesis 1, you'll see that there are some interesting similarities. In fact, don't read Genesis 1 out of the context of John 1, because it's so much more awesome to read together. John 1 establishes that Jesus, before He became flesh, was in the beginning with God in the form of "the Word". Then God says (through the power of His WORD) "Let there be light." John 1 then goes on to describe the incarnate Jesus as "the Light which was the life of men." Are you with me? So Jesus was in the beginning as "the Word", then God said, "Let there be light" and Jesus was that light. This is only accentuated by the fact that God had not yet created the sun. I looked up what the ancient word "light" meant in that verse, and what God actually said was, "Let there be energy and life." Brilliant! So I got carried away, and started to do some self-study about the science of light. Yeah, I'm a nerd. A cute nerd, at least.
Obviously, light is a form of energy, and what are we taught in junior year physics about energy? The Law of the Conservation of Energy (I had a really great physics teacher who used puppets to teach 17 year olds. Best science class ever!): energy cannot be naturally created or destroyed; it can only be changed from one form into another. What the heck does this have to do with the Eucharist?! I'm getting there.
So Christ is the Light, the Energy and Life of the universe, literally the One in whom all things are held together (Colossians 1:17). But energy is constantly being transferred from one thing to another – it never stays put for long. And did you know, that the more light something absorbs, the more energized it becomes? So here we have Christ as THE energy, constantly transferring Himself throughout creation in various ways, but His primary intent is to energize us, and the more we absorb who He is, the more energized we become, and the more we share in the works produced by that energy!
When I began to truly recognize that Christ is literally, atomically holding together my bed, my glass bowl, my body, my piece of toast, I began to see that He was surely capable of invigorating ordinary bread and wine with a greater voltage of Himself so that it actually becomes His body and His blood. And not only that, but that extra stored energy encased in the Eucharist is energy for us to absorb to become more like Him! Bread is already naturally energy for the body, but through the power of Christ, it becomes energy for the spirit.
For the first time ever, science found a use in my life. I began to recognize my desperate need for energy in my life; energy to do what's right, energy to pursue God, energy to do more than survive each day. And I no longer wanted just ordinary bread and grape juice and their 47 calories worth of energy. I wanted the power of Christ in my life in a new way.
Maybe the Catholic Church doesn't go all Mr. Veri (my high school physics teacher) on the Eucharist, but it does have a richer, deeper understanding of what the Eucharist is, what it's for, and it's amazing power. The Catholic Church understands that, just like Christ multiplied the loaves and fishes to be more than enough to feed the crowds, He has more importantly supplied an abundance of Himself, so that, we too, can partake of His divine nature, and be energized with His very life.
I realize that no serious scholar is probably ever going to make this same argument for the transubstantiation, and no serious scientist would accept my argument as any kind of "proof". But it's what God used to speak to me, to help ME wrap my little head around this elusive concept when I couldn't just take it on faith. And even though my first experience with the Eucharist was a bit underwhelming, let me just say that I did have an unnatural shot of energy on my second go around. This last Sunday, I barely made it to church. I felt miserable, exhausted, and borderline sick. Throughout the entire Mass, I just wanted to lie down in my pew and go to sleep. But in the few steps between partaking of the Body and the Blood, and returning to my seat, I felt completely and totally reinvigorated. It kinda startled me. But there it was – pure, raw Energy…and it didn't come from mere bread.

Deann Oliver greeted an unexpected soldier Saturday.
In helping welcome home returning U.S. military personnel at Gerald R. Ford International Airport, she was doing a supportive shift with fellow Blue Star Mothers of America members and Patriot Guard Riders. A handful of families had already been reunited with loved ones when her eyes fell on someone she wasn't expecting to see until at least next week: U.S. Army Spec. Mitch Oliver. It was her son.
Deann shrieked with delight, clutching into her knees just beyond Gate B as others in two greeting lines, many holding and waving American flags, clapped, smiled and cried tears of joy. Also beaming was Mitch, who had a bouquet of red roses for his mother snuck to him by his father, Gary Oliver.
He was flown in through Fly A Soldier Home This Summer, a contest sponsored by Ed Koehn Automotive Group in conjunction with Classic Hits 98.7 WFGR and affiliated stations 97.9 WGRD, Channel 95.7 (WLHT), 100.5 The River (WTRV) and 1410 AM The Touch (WNWZ).

The other guest there were to rowdy police were called and they blocked the only entrance. We had to Waite for 1 hour to get out to go to dinner. That was upsetting
It was horrible. We found a meth pipe in our boys rooms. We went to front desk and told the receptionist and other person. Her hands had band aides and scabs all over it. The guy that worked there said, are you sure it's not one of the boys. I told him that was not funny in no kind of way.
The bathroom needs upgrading
Good value during the Masters.
The property and appliances/accommodations are outdated, but clean. All the staff I met were friendly. I used the outdoor grills to cook out a couple days, and it was very nice. The hotel location is very convenient, lots of places to eat, shop, or visit a park. The WiFi is abysmal unless you are very near the hotel office. I stayed in the annex building, rooms numbered 300 and higher, and the WiFi is basically unusable from there.

Obama Backs Same-Sex Marriage : Discovery News
He becomes the first American president to support same-sex marriage.
Supporters hail the historic moment in civil rights history.
Obama said his position had evolved partly after talking to his two daughters Malia and Sasha.
Political anlysts have warned that Obama could be entering a political minefield just as the election season heats up.
Barack Obama became the first US president Wednesday to say publicly he was in favor of same-sex marriage, in a high-stakes intervention in a pre-election debate roiling American politics.
In what supporters will hail as a historic moment in civil rights history, Obama changed his stance, after previously saying he was "evolving" on gay marriage, a fiercely divisive issue in US politics.
"I've just concluded, for me, personally, it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same-sex couples should be able to get married," Obama said in an interview with ABC News.
Obama, who had previously backed strong protections for gay and lesbian couples, said his position had evolved partly after talking to his two daughters Malia and Sasha who had some friends who had same-sex parents.
"It wouldn't dawn on them that somehow their friends' parents would be treated differently. It doesn't make sense to them and frankly, that's the kind of thing that prompts a change in perspective," Obama said in the interview.
NEWS: Zoo Plans to Separate Gay Penguins
Obama came under increasing political pressure on gay marriage after Vice President Joe Biden said on NBC's Meet the Press on Sunday that he was "absolutely comfortable" with same-sex marriage.
Education Secretary Arne Duncan said this week that he was also in favor of the concept.
Some political analysts have warned that Obama could be entering a political minefield, with some key voting blocs in swing states that he hopes to court in November's election opposing gay marriage.
On Tuesday, voters in North Carolina, a state Obama narrowly carried in the 2008 election, approved a state constitutional amendment forbidding gay marriages, civil unions and domestic partnerships.
The measure was passed by 61 percent to 39 percent after similar state constitutional amendments have been approved in some 30 US states.
NEWS: Homophobia or Self-Phobia?
The amendment solidifies and expands already enacted North Carolina law forbidding same-sex marriage.
Obama came to the position he elucidated on Wednesday through a long period of reflection and following pressure from his political base, which includes gay and lesbian groups.
In 2004, he said for religious reasons that he believed that "marriage is between a man and a woman," but added that he favored a "bundle" of civil rights for gays and lesbians.
"What I believe in my faith ... a man and a woman when they get married are performing something before God."
In 2010, Obama said "my feelings are constantly evolving" on gay marriage, and said he was in favor of civil unions for gays and lesbians that have strong civil protections.
In 2011, Obama said he was "still working on it."

Bad Breath
There is no question; bad breath is the ultimate deal breaker. The main cause of bad breath is the bacteria layering on the tongue. Bacteria pile up because of a dry mouth or certain food elements and substances found in awfully-smelling garlic and onions. Because the root can be traced to the tongue, the frequent and proper dental cleaning of the organ can help you deal with bad breath.
Bruxism/Teeth Grinding
Bruxism, which is considered highly destructive to the teeth, is common among adults. Frequent teeth grinding causes teeth to become short. This often leads to jaw problems. This problem is caused by stress and misaligned teeth. To prevent Bruxism, adults are highly recommended to perform relaxation techniques everyday to ease the muscles and minimize the overall stress experienced in the mouth.
Cavities are caused by bacteria, which when left unattended will severely damage the mouth. These bacteria feast on the remnants left between teeth. Those left behind become more and more difficult to remove with proper brushing and flossing. As a result, they pile up and lead to bigger dental problems. To prevent this from happening, it is important to maintain proper oral hygiene.
Yellow Teeth
The yellowing of teeth is basically caused by food consumed, primarily coffee. Some teeth come with a natural yellowish tone. This is a problem especially for those who are conscious about their physical appearance. Having yellow teeth, more often than not, is not really appealing. However, there are already several over-the-counter prescription medicines to solve this dilemma.
Mouth Sores
There are two types of mouth sores: herpes and Canker sores. The former is virus-based and even contagious while the latter is characterized as non-virus based mainly caused by stress. Herpes can be attended to using pills and anti-viral creams while Canker sores can simply be left untreated— typically, the sores just last for 12 days.

Tired and in need of refurbishment
Not impressed with this hotel.
Overpriced and in desperate need of refurbishment. The corridors still have a smell of smoke. Walls in bedroom paper thin, bathroom tiny and shower next to useless. Through late rooms I requested a slightly early check in around 12, I also rang the hotel the day before to check this was ok. Upon arrival the receptionist was extremely rude, informing me there was no record of my request. Apparently late rooms send them nothing through about requests?!. Whoever I spoke to the day before also made no note about arriving earlier. She insisted i paid £10 extra. No chance, not when the room was more than I wanted to pay in the first place. I insisted on speaking to a manager, who wavered this extra charge immediately!. No arguments and very polite. Maybe the receptionist should learn some customer service skills. I wouldn't recommend this hotel unless you've paid less than £35, it's simply not worth the money.

It's probably the most infamous dunk attempt in Kansas basketball history.
Jan. 27, 2007. Kansas versus Colorado at Allen Fieldhouse. Super sophomore Julian Wright picks a Buffaloes guard clean out near half court, scoops up the loose ball and sees nothing but open court in front of him.
The capacity crowd at Allen Fieldhouse comes to its feet as one, anticipating something spectacular. Wright takes a couple of long dribbles toward the hoop and checks his rearview mirror for pursuers. Finding none, he turns back toward the goal, gathers himself and prepares to throw down a windmill slam destined for SportCenter's Top 10 later that night.
Only...things don't exactly work out that way. The ball slips from Wright's grasp and goes sailing out of bounds, and the wiry forward tumbles to the ground - uninjured, except for his pride. The collective facepalm that takes place inside the arena is almost palpable, as Head Coach Bill Self laces into his star for the failed attempt at showboating.
Tim Peters remembers the moment as well as any Kansas fan - maybe even better. At the time, his son Zach was just an 8th-grader, but already the buzz around him for his basketball prowess was growing.
Father and son were in the stands that day, right behind the Kansas bench. It was the first unofficial visit the pair took to the University of Kansas, and in the aftermath of Wright's missed dunk, the elder Peters is the first to admit he never would have gussed the program he purchased at the game that day would become a cherished memento.
"Coach Self wouldn't let anybody go out and get (Wright)," Tim Peters recalled, a smile in his voice. "I think we heard every word imaginable, and I said right then - Zach was in 8th grade - 'Well, I guess he's not going to Kansas.'"
However, a little more than three years later - during an April 21, 2010 ceremony at Plano (TX) Prestonwood High School - Zach Peters announced he would do just that.
It wasn't an easy decision for his son, Tim Peters said. Kansas wasn't the only elite program showing interest, with Kentucky, North Carolina and Texas also involved.
They took a lot of trips during the recruitment - saw a lot of games and campuses - and in the end, he understood why Zach chose Kansas. Beyond that, he understood why Kansas was the best choice; the right one for his son's future.
"The one thing I think Coach Self and Coach (Danny) Manning have been is as honest as the day is long," Tim Peters said. "And if you're afraid of work, if you're afraid of a coach putting a boot up your butt, you're not going to go to Kansas. And I think that scared some kids off, but at the end of the day I think Zach made the right decision."
It's been an interesting few months for the 6-foot-8, 235-pound power forward. After participating in a few events with the Texas Titans early in the spring, he pulled out of the rest of the AAU season.
See, Peters wanted to focus on individual workouts and preparing for the start of the football season.
Yes, football.
A member of the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools, the Prestonwood Christian Lions currently own an 8-2 record and are in the midst of a run through the state playoffs, after taking down San Antonio Central Catholic on Nov. 12, 27-7.
Peters is a big reason for their success - both literally and figuratively. It would be easy to put a player with his size and physique at tight end, but his athleticism is such that he lines up almost exclusively at receiver, and is having a monster senior year.
Through 10 games, Peters leads the Lions in receptions with 69, and is second in both receiving yards (958) and touchdowns (13).
When he told the Kansas coaching staff he wanted to play football as a senior, they weren't exactly thrilled, he said. But neither were they going to stand in his way, as they ultimately supported whatever he wanted to do.
That they look at the big picture and aren't focused exclusively on his basketball career is one of the main reasons Peters holds the Kansas coaches in such high regard.
"Of course they're not going to be happy about me playing, but they support everything," he explained. "That's one of the reasons I like this coaching staff so much. They support me outside of basketball."
His brief sabbatical from the hardwood - at least when it comes to actual competition - has left him more hungry than ever.
"Not playing this summer made me realize how much I actually loved basketball," Peters said. "After playing it - I've played it for probably 10 years straight, non-stop - taking a summer off was definitely a lot different. It made me realize how much basketball meant to me."
Interestingly enough, he almost never made it to his senior year.
In April, with the Morris Twins heading for the NBA Draft an the Jayhawks in immediate need of help in the frontcourt, the Kansas coaches looked in to bringing Peters to campus for the 2011-2012 academic year.
With just two classes standing between him and graduation, it was a viable option.
"That actually meant a lot to me," Peters said. "It showed they have a lot of confidence in who I am as a player."
At the time, however, he was watching his friends in the Class of 2011 graduate, having experienced their senior years to the fullest, and he decided he wanted that for himself.
"It was basically having that senior year," he said. "And I just didn't want to take the risk. It was a pretty risky decision to make, and I didn't feel like I was ready to go at that point."
In the months since, Peters has made numerous visits to his future home - the most recent in late September for the Kansas program's highly-touted "Legends of the Phog" alumni event.
He's experienced game day in Lawrence, Kan. multiple times, but even so, 'Legends' was a special experience. To see Allen Fieldhouse filled to the rafters - before the start of the basketball season - for an exhibition game, still filled him with the butterflies of anticipation.
"I've been to a home game and know what it's like," Peters said. "It was probably the loudest thing I've ever been to. I still have hearing problems from it. It shows how loyal those fans are, and how intense they are about basketball. It's really an amazing thing to see."
Soon enough, Peters will run out of the tunnel on to James Naismith Court, bedecked in the Crimson and Blue of the Jayhawks. He's eager for that day to arrive, and knows if he's to make the impact he hopes to make, it's going to require more hard work than he's experienced in his life to date.
He both understands and relishes that fact.
"That's what I do," Peters said. "If I don't work hard, I'm not happy. Knowing that about myself, I'm pretty confident I'm going to make a huge impact on this next season."
In Peters, Self said the Jayhawks are getting a dynamic big man with the ability to defend multiple positions and cause serious headaches for the opposition on the offensive end.
"He's going to be a guy that can do a lot of things," Self explained. "He knows who he is, too. We know he's a big guy that can stretch it but he likes to hit you, and certainly contact and physical play will not be an issue with him early on in his career."
Monday, Peters' career at Kansas drew one step closer, when he signed a National Letter of Intent in front of his friends and family.
From recruit to verbal commit, and now to signee, he's locked in with the University of Kansas, joining Wichita (KS) Heights star Perry Ellis and Portland (OR) Westview center Landen Lucas thus far in the Kansas signing Class of 2012.
"It really does feel a lot different now, knowing that I'm actually a Jayhawk," he said. "I'm not just a future Jayhawk. Now that I've signed, I actually am a Jayhawk."

A Way with Words: Alumni Find Voices as Authors
"Inspiration comes from many sources, but in general I think of it as a kind of intent awareness of the world, listening for the possibilities of stories in the events and circumstances of every day life," author Kim Edwards says. Edwards, whose first novel, The Memory Keeper's Daughter, spent 20 weeks at number one on the New York Times Best Seller list, notes that her world view was influenced by her years as a student at LTS from 2004 to 2006. "Dr. (William O.) Paulsell (former... Read More

Trailblazing is a 'piece of cake'
"I tell God, 'You pick 'em up, and I'll put 'em down,'" the Rev. Edd Spencer is heard saying (referencing his feet) to a fellow Appalachian Trail hiker in a YouTube video filed under the heading "Piece of Cake." Spencer started hiking the Appalachian Trail in 1996, beginning in Georgia, and finished in August in Dalton, Mass. in August. Along the way, Spencer has enjoyed looking out in some areas along the trail and seeing only "what God has made, not what we have... Read More
Picking up the pieces
The howling storm. The sirens. Then throat-tightening fear in the moments after, when words would not come. Lexington Theological Seminary alumnae Jill Cameron Michel and Fay Barnes Blevins minister at separate Disiples of Christ churches in Joplin, Missouri, but in a moment, they found their lives and ministries intertwined as an entire community found itself in crisis. Michel, a 1998 graduate, is the pastor at South Joplin Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Married to Jim, Michel... Read More
Picking up the pieces: Fay Barnes Blevins
I am the senior pastor of First Christian Church, Joplin. I ask people to call me "pastor," or "Fay" or whatever as long as it's nice. This is my first call out of seminary. First Christian Church is the typical downtown church in small-city U.S.A. We have a long history of 135+ years, planting several other churches around town in that time, and now figuring out what God is calling us to do in this time and place. I am the first female pastor and the previous pastor retired after 29... Read More
Picking up the pieces: Jill Cameron Michel
I am pastor at South Joplin Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Married to Jim Michel, I have two children: Cameron and Teegan and two step-children: Katy and John. South Joplin Christian Church was founded in 1903. We average just under 100 in worship. It is a congregation that although largely a traditional, mainline congregation, has been doing intentional work seeking God's vision for the future. On the day of the tornado my family was hosting the youth group at our... Read More
Creating community
Michael Junkroski was a church musician and a full-time business owner/operator in Florida when voices within–and without–began urging him to consider going to seminary. "People in the congregation and my pastor approached me and said, 'You'd make a good minister.' The idea of going to a school where I could learn more about that and become someone who could minister to the ills of the world was extremely appealing," Junkroski said. "But I have a business with my brother... Read More

This weekend we allowed ourselves to get excited about Christmas.
We stuck on the Christmas mix tape and decorated the house. There is something about sparkly lights and tinsel that brings a big smile to my face.
I am loving our slender Christmas tree, it's got a perfect mix of regular baubles and handpicked decorations that have their own story.
What did you do this weekend? Do you think it's too early to be putting the deccies up?
