After a hiatus of many years, Braun watches and clocks are back in production in 2011. Braun's decision to re-issue their collection, including some of the rare LCD watches from the 1970's, gained approval from Dietrich Lubs, co-designer with Dieter Rams. Lubs credits their independent and functionally-oriented design for the continued relevance of the Braun timepiece collections, some thirty years after their introduction. The reappearance of Braun's complete wristwatch is a testament to the genius of the designers, and it hints at the numbers of loyal Dieter Rams and Dietrich Lubs fans around the world. Today's Braun watches are based on the original designs with slight modifications, bringing them into the 21st century.Read More

The story of Woofy is one of experiences, of pleasure and love of design. Woofy's Dad is Gabriel Nigro and the idea for Woofy came about during a visit to one of Gabriel's friends, who happened to have cables lying around all over his flat. On the way home, Gabriel began drawing, and by the time he was home Woofy had been born. Woofy is the story of a practical problem that was resolved with something that became a living thing. Woofy never needs to be walked, fed or trained. His fur is smooth and he doesn't cause allergies or wet the floor. Woofy can conceal your cables in his tummy and he will always be there when you need him. Gabriel Nigro recounts: "Woofy came about as a result of my own needs. I have always been irritated at the sight of cables lying everywhere and ending up as 'cable spaghetti' on the floor. So I came up with Woofy. In my opinion, the things you buy for the home should add something more to it than just functionality – and that is what Woofy does. Man's best friend is his dog. A dog looks after you, looks after your family and represents some good values. Woofy is a smart cable concealer, a cool object in all rooms and an item of furniture that can be used in the office, the children's room or the living room. But for me, Woofy is most of all a sweet, happy dog – and my dear friend." Woofy is a cable container dog with many good qualities and your new friend.Read More
Braun introduces a new line of sports watches for the active design-minded wearer. Durable, non-sticky, non-allergenic silicone band with a quartz face, these sports watches are ultra comfortable and lightweight. Braun's commitment to reliable manufacturing together with a passion for a clean aesthetic led to their worldwide reputation of excellent products. Their legendary design team led in turn by Dieter Rams, Deitrich Lubs and now by Markus Orthey, took up digital watches and clocks in the 1970s and after a two-decade hiatus Braun has returned to producing these timepieces. With a nod to Lubs' designs, the new sports watches are adapted to our new active lifestyles and needs.Read More

The 45 x 45 cm clock, made of wood with multiple coats of paint, can be used as a wall clock or as a free-standing object. The front panel of the QLOCKTWO is fixed by magnets. In this way it can be changed without visible means of attachment. Brushed stainless steel or polished synthetic glass in seven colors are available. QLOCKTWO CLASSIC has a command of thirteen languages The clock face can easily be changed to display a different language. The corresponding front cover is required for the chosen language. The front covers are available as extras and can be quickly exchanged. Languages: Arabic, Swiss German, German, Danish, English, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Norwegian, Russian, Swedish, and Turkish Easy to read: The words on the clock face change every five minutes. In each corner, light points represent the minutes in between with radio controlled precision. Illumination: Sensors adjust the light automatically to ambient light conditions so that even at night the clock can be easily read. The brightness can also be manually adjusted. Seconds mode: When the seconds mode is activated - using the two buttons at the back of the clock - the seconds are displayed as large figures on the front matrix. In seconds mode the minute points in the corners are still viable. Radio reception: QLOCKTWO CLASSIC is set to receive the European time signal and adjusts the time automatically to the second. If however the clock is outside the time signal then the clock switches automatically to a very accurate quartz mode.Read More

Tax Benefits of Paying for College
For many students and their parents, tax season is a time of grumbling and groaning. Forms, paperwork, and the April 15 tax filing deadline can add stress to an already hectic life. But if you're paying off student loans or paying for college tuition and fees, your higher education investment might help you in a way you didn't expect — by reducing your tax bill.
The higher education related tax benefits that students and parents may be able to take advantage of include but are not limited to:
- The student loan interest deduction, which can reduce the taxable income of many student and parent loan borrowers based on the amount of interest paid by the borrower or on the borrower's behalf over the tax year.
- The tuition and fees deduction, which can reduce the taxable income of taxpayers based on college tuition and fees paid during the tax year.
- The American Opportunity and Lifetime Learning tax credits, which allow many taxpayers to claim a credit against their federal income taxes for college tuition and fees paid during the tax year.
Where can I get more information?
Publication 970, published by the IRS, along with the instruction booklets for Form 1040 and Form 1040A, include instructions on how the various tax benefits should be applied to an individual tax return. These publications and other useful information can be obtained at the IRS website, located at www.irs.gov. The IRS also offers taxpayers free answers to tax questions at 1-800-TAX-1040 (829-1040).
In addition, Texas Financial Aid Information Center (TFAIC) representatives can help you in understanding the higher education tax benefits that might be available to you. To contact the TFAIC, call (888) 311-8881 Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Central Time. You may also reach TFAIC representatives via email at email@example.com.

Alright, we've seen the bottom 20 of the list, so let's try and work closer to the middle of it.
There may be some surprises to people during this set of 20, and it will only continue to get better with the last three editions.
I always thought that Wisconsin really wasn't a breeding ground for professional athletes and such, but after looking at all these names for the past few weeks, I know that many fine athletes call this Midwest state "home", as do I.

What's Next for Open Source and Public Media?
Open Source has won. We've moved into Gandhicon 4. Now what? That's the question that occurred to me yesterday, while sitting in the audience of a tech session at Public Media 2008 in Los Angeles — the big annual conference for what most of us still call public broadcasting.
I sat there hearing panelists tell story after story about what stations can do with piles of open code, tools and standards. In cases where the nature or provenance of recommended code was in doubt, questions from the audience went, "Is the source code for that available?" or "Is that open code, or just an open service?"
This wasn't the only place I've seen this. In one business category after another, it's becoming clearer that we've passed the tipping point. Open Source is no longer just an option, no longer needs to justify itself. It's the baseline.
At one conceptual level up, I'll be on a panel today called Technology and Trends: What's Around the Bend? To prep for that, I thought I'd share are a few of my preliminary ideas.
- It's not a fight, but listeners and viewers will win anyway. They have far more choice about what they hear and watch. They can produce media as well as consume it. And they have the means to take the lead not only in the choice and supply of media and content, but in participation with stations, networks, program producers and everybody else who plays a role in the system. The market for public media will finally become, truly, conversational and participatory.
- There will be a new business model for public media, based on the ability of listeners and viewers to pay as much as they want, for whatever they want, whenever they want, wherever they want. We'll call this new model VRM, for Vendor Relationship Management. It will supplement rather than supplant the old fund-raising systems. It will enrich and deepen the relationships between the consumers and producers of media, by working on terms provided by both sides, and not just by the supply side alone. This will not only increase the percentage of listeners and viewers paying for public media, but a new and vital source of funding for non-broadcast media — such as podcasts.
- VRM will reform CRM. Once we have tools that that will allow any of us voluntarily to pay for music and everything else we call "media" — and beyond that to relate with suppliers on terms that work for us as well as for them — CRM (Customer Relationship Management) systems will cease to be one-way marketing vehicles and start to become two-way means by which real relationships between individuals and institutions are supported.
- Membership will mean more than schwag and promotion payoffs. We will cease to conflate transaction with relationship, and start relating to listeners and viewers in ways that conform to the shape of their wants, need an habits as well as ours. That means, if listeners care more about This American Life than about our stations, we help with that, rather than insist that listeners relate only to stations and silo'd CRM systems.
- The Intention Economy will happen first with public media. This is the economy that will grow around customers' and users' actual intentions — rather than guesswork about those intentions, or efforts to capture or drive people's attention. As a result, the advertising boom will come to an end, simply because the supply side will know more about what the demand side wants, and will have better ways of relating to it. Advertising won't go away, and never will. But wasting money time and money with guesswork about what people might want will fade as a value system, simply because a system that starts the actual intentions of users and customers will be in place.
- Cell phones will be the new radios and televisions. This will start to happen in a big way the minute Apple opens its iPhones to independent developers of native applications (rather than just ones that run in a browser). Then it will get a huge boost when carriers start selling open phones developed on Android, OpenMoko, Maemo, Trolltech and other platforms — all Linux-based, by the way. (Nokia buying TrollTech is a huge harbinger here.) The carriers will resist this development at first, and complain about how much bandwidth gets used, but they'll deal with it because demand will drive supply, and openness will outperform the closed alternatives.
- Websites will become as inadequate as transmitters. That is, both will remain necessary but insufficient means for reaching listeners and viewers, and for relating to them. "Live Web" methods such as streaming, file sharing, social networking and "rivers of news" will all play roles as well.
- Archives will be the ultimate killer kontent. Stations and networks will come to value not only their own archives, but will work to make those archives as easy as possible to find, consume and otherwise use — and to open CRM systems for VRM tools to make it as easy as possible for listeners and viewers to voluntarily pay for the privilege. Bigger inventory, bigger income.
- The end of analog terrestrial television will be a big mess and a wake-up call in more ways than we can name. The loss of analog TV's familiar channels, and in countless cases their signals as well, will go beyond annoying millions of people who never asked for DTV, and will barely understand it. In the long run it will help break everybody free from the ancient model of broadcasting as a system defined by limits in time and distance. No longer will everything need to be "live" — and constantly to hog bit paths to listeners and viewers who are tuned in to something else. No longer will local be a strictly geographical concept.
- Brands and reputations will matter more than ever. Familiar call letters, program names, personalities and institutions will have countless new ways to leverage their incumbent advantages, and to relate to their listeners and viewers, without both real and conceptual constraints imposed by transmitters and entailments such as "range". What will matter most about those names and reputations, however, will not be limited to their familiarity. Instead they will be enriched or impoverished by the degrees to which they participate in a marketplace sustained by real relationships, and not just by marketing that goes by that name.
So those are my first ten. Add your own below, and feel free to correct any or all of the above.

Archives will be the ultimate killer kontent. Stations and networks will come to value not only their own archives, but will work to make those archives as easy as possible to find, consume and otherwise use — and to open CRM systems for VRM tools to make it as easy as possible !
Totally true !

CDA - Customer Driven Advertising
As well as VRM, here's another TLA to conjure with. CDA or Customer Driven Advertising. This takes Publisher Driven Advertising one stage further.
I would love to have an RSS/Atom feed of adverts specifically targeted at me. I leave enough traces round the web at places like Amazon, eBay, Last.FM, the gadget sites, doubleclick and so on that an advertising agency should be able to come up with a very tightly targeted feed. And I want to help refine it with Love,Skip,Ban buttons on every ad.
Well, CDA means many different things, including Communications Decency Act, a lame an lamented (and struck down) law that failed to restrict speech on the Net a decade ago.
Still, I get your point. What I'm wondering is why Google isn't doing this now. Or, isn't this what they think they're doing? Or trying to do?

the role of widgets in the death of the url
Re: "Websites will become as inadequate as transmitters."
Have to agree. I think widgets which do the following illustrate how easy it is to think of the death of the url:
1. Speak in an authentic voice (close the gap between creation and marketing)
2. Lose the TV envy (think relevance over quality)
3. Give people tools to make it their own (that which we create, we embrace)
4. Don't bother with urls, links or 'brand messages'. (We don't do spin) If people intend to find they will search.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Rodgers plays in a league of his own
QB tosses three TD passes
Minneapolis - At first, Packers right tackle Bryan Bulaga opted to answer a question with a question when asked about the state of Aaron Rodgers' play.
Said Bulaga, "What level is our quarterback at?"
Then he paused and allowed the break in the conversation to do the speaking.
"I answered it," he said. "He's playing lights out."
Rodgers completed his first 13 passes Sunday in the 33-27 victory against the Minnesota Vikings at the Metrodome.
He found nine receivers. He was 24 of 30 for 355 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions. He had a quarterback rating of 146.5. He even made a couple of plays with his feet.
All of that went to the fact that it was just another off-the-charts statistical day for last season's Super Bowl MVP.
Rodgers just shrugged it off.
"I'm thinking about this week," Rodgers said. "It will be fun to have a bye week."
If Rodgers seemed a little circumspect about the victory that got the defending champs off to a 7-0 start, let's just say he understood the difficulty of the game.
A division rival in a tough environment. Rodgers was taking nothing for granted, especially the way the Packers finished it off with James Starks and the offensive line.
"I'm not crazy about six consecutive handoffs," Rodgers joked, "but it was good finishing off a game like that. It was fun to end a game like that."
Rodgers also appreciated the support the Packers received at the dome as they ran out the clock.
"We had a great crowd today," he cracked again. "The crowd was really loud on that last drive with the 'Go, Pack, go' chants. Amazing."
He didn't even seem all that concerned about the overly chippy attitudes between the rivals.
"I think we rose above it pretty good," he said.
Mostly Rodgers was reflecting the attitude of a team that goes into its bye week with the NFL's only unbeaten record.
"A good start for us," he said. "We've got to get healthy now."
Rodgers was asked if he had seen a receiver more open than Greg Jennings, who was far behind the confused and battered Minnesota secondary on a 79-yard touchdown catch.
"A couple," he said.
So how about his own play?
"I was pretty efficient," Rodgers said. "There might have been a couple of times when I held on to the ball too long."
He was sacked four times, but he also was trying to make some things happen on the run, at least more than usual. Rodgers also mentioned he thought the Packers would throw more than they did given the state of the Vikings' injured secondary but said he was pleased with the result.
Packers coach Mike McCarthy was a little more effusive about the play of his quarterback, who is at a level beyond his peers with his performances and his decision-making.
"You never have to get away from preplanning with him," McCarthy said. "It's a great comfort as a coach to have Aaron Rodgers."

Natural Christmas Cards
If you want to mail a homemade three-dimensional card, choose flat embellishments. For cards you hand-deliver, use chunkier, more textural options.
Materials Needed:
- recycled card stock
- scissors
- found objects such as seed heads, twigs and leaves in different sizes, dried flat
- X-acto knife
- ruler
- spices such as star anise and cinnamon sticks
- dried ingredients such as bay leaves
- glue
Step 1
Cut a piece of recycled card stock to the correct size. Score lightly down the middle of the card in a straight line using an X-acto knife and ruler.
Step 2
Fold the card in half along the scored line, which will ensure a clean fold down the center of the card.
Step 3
Arrange and stick a dried leaf onto the front of the card using small dabs of glue.
Step 4
Glue two smaller leaves onto the larger leaf and attach one star anise at the base of the leaves. Set aside till glue has fully dried, then add your holiday greeting to the card's interior.

MOSCOW - Russia's No. 2 oil producer Yukos will send its first tankers to the United States this summer, a top executive said Thursday, as part of a Russian effort to offer U.S. consumers an alternative to Persian Gulf oil.
Russia currently supplies a tiny percentage of U.S. imports, but U.S. officials have expressed interest in increasing Russia's share of the market. Oil is Russia's chief export and oil export taxes are a big part of the national budget.
"We plan to start pilot oil shipments to the U.S. East Coast or the Gulf of Mexico," Mikhail Brudno, first vice president of Yukos, was quoted by the Interfax news agency investor conference.
"We believe we will be able to develop such a system where oil shipments to the United States will be just as efficient as to Europe," he said.
Brudno did not say how much oil the shipments would include.
Other Yukos officials said the move was largely symbolic and it is still far too expensive for them to ship large amounts of crude to American consumers.
Misamore said as long as Russian producers can sell all their crude closer to home, it makes no sense to lose money by paying extra transportation costs.
High world oil prices drove Russia's economic growth in 2000 and 2001 - and the growth of Yukos and other Russian oil companies.
Yukos on Thursday announced that its net profit in 2001 fell to $3.5 billion from $3.7 billion the year before, as a fall in crude prices in the final months of the year offset its higher production volumes and exports.

i wouldn't call him that.
in his prime weights he was just a fighter. he would stay on the outside for a stretch, because he was tall and long, and wait for opportunities. then he'd explode with the left hand behind one or two jabs or flurry when he closed the distance with his feet. what he really wanted was an exchange. the first morales fight is the only time i've seen anybody get the better of pacquiao in exchanges. morales is one of the most underrated technicians ever... but i digress.
pacquiao never really cut the ring off. he never worked the jab. he didnt invest in the body. his body work would be of the mixed in with combinations variety, and with power. for instance, he followed cotto around the ring when he had him hurt. he was fast enough to get away with it, and back cotto up anyway.
he'd use his footspeed to get close. nobody was really fast enough to use the ring consistently. if he backed you up straght he'd catch up and flatten you
at 122 and 126 and 130 he was a beast. physically the guy was just a beast. he did not develop the level of craft that you saw at WW until he got there, and had to make his money fighting guys that were so much bigger than he is.
looking at pacquiao today, i'd say that he's never been naturally bigger than a lightweight, either.

I think he can be but generally he is more effective if the opponent instigates contact. When he had to pressurize against Bradley he didnt look that effective. But when Hatton tried pressuring him he looked like an animal. But his footwork is his most valued attribute and IMO the only thing that gives him a chance against May.

Generally pressure fighters want to fight right inside at close range and Manny doesn't, prefering to stay right in the middle of the pocket. So I would say no

Pacquaio is not a pressure fighter. He is a explosive ambusher, Meaning he doesnt do much till he lunges in and ambushes you, if it didnt go the way he wanted he will just zip out of their and wait till the opportunity present itself again, contrary to what people believe he does not create the action. All his bobbing with his body and head makes it seem like he is accomplishing something and pushing forth the action, hence why people will seem to think he is a pressure fighter. He is not, he is simply a explosive ambusher and a excellent finisher.

One thing is for sure. Pacquiao style is what makes him great. Even Floyd can't hold a candle without blowing it out comparing how Pac beat Oscar, Hatton, Mosley and Cotto in so much better fashion.

Spotlight on Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni
June 7, 2014
By: K. Clare Johnson
For the past 100 years or more, Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni has been one of the most well-known and prestigious hotels in the world. Right from the outset, the Grand Hotel became the chosen destination for illustrious guests in search of peace: royalty, aristocrats, figures from international politics, and movie stars. The Sovereigns of Spain, Romania, Albania, Egypt; above all the Russian and English aristocracy; Winston Churchill, Roosevelt, the Rothschilds, J.F. Kennedy; Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks, Maria Schell, Clark Gable, Robert Mitchum, Al Pacino.... these are just some of the famous guests who have strolled through the rooms and lakeside gardens of the Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni, enjoying its beauty and outstanding hospitality.
Located on the gorgeous Lake Como, where the blue waters meet the green mountains which soar above the lake, the Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni enjoys a breathtaking position on the promontory which juts halfway out into the lake, separating the two branches. The luxurious vegetation of its Italian-style gardens, abounding in Mediterranean and subtropical plants, flourishes in the pleasant microclimate around the lake. The locale enjoys sunshine almost all year round, accompanied by mild temperatures in every season. From April to November the salons and the large lakeside garden offer guests the chance to enjoy a holiday far from the madding crowd and close to nature immersed in one of the most beautiful panoramas in the world.
The hotel's interior reflects the good taste loved by the wealthy nobility of the time. Its walls and ceilings are adorned with frescoes and paintings of mythological scenes, gilded frames, festoons, temples, putti, flamingos, and Pompeian reds. The coffer ceilings are frescoed with floral patterns in grey and pink tones. Guests will enjoy period wall coverings in the French style, antique Persian carpets, crystal chandeliers from Murano, Imperial furniture, and the neo-classical and Art Nouveau style; not to mention the marble staircases, the stucco work columns, and the splendid trompe l'oeil.The "salle à manger" alone is a genuine monument to art, as is the Salone Reale, which in the evening is lit by bronze and crystal chandeliers, the splendor of whose lights are reflected by large mirrors.
Lovers of peace and quiet can alternate the pleasure of a poolside drink with beauty treatments and programmes at Villa Serbelloni SPA, the hotel's own beauty farm. Guests can set off from the private dock for a motorboat trip to the historic gardens along the lake which, in springtime, attract tourists from all over the world: especially for the wonderful flowering of the azaleas. Lovers of sport can take advantage of the hotel gym and tennis courts, enjoy delightful walks, take a mountain bike out on the Bellagio promontory, and cool off in the swimming pool overlooking the lake.

Did You Know? Hotel Balzac
May 14, 2014

In 1853, Hotel Balzac was built for the director of the Paris Opera. It was home to its namesake, the 19th century French writer Honore de Balzac. The hotel is reminiscent of town houses of that period.
In 1846 Balzac acquired the property to give to Countess Ewelina Hanska, who he married in May 1850. He spent his last days in the house and died a few months later without ever having paid the purchase price.
His writing influenced many famous authors, including the novelists Marcel Proust, Emile Zola, Charles Dickens, Gustave Flaubert, Marie Corelli, Henry James, Jack Kerouac, and Italo Calvino as well as philosophers such as Friedrich Engels.
Balzac's spirit lives on in the luxury hotel where collections of antique books as well as lithographs depicting the writer, and scenes from his work can be found.

Did You Know? Villa San Michele
May 13, 2014
By: Five Star Alliance
Villa San Michele is nestled on a hilltop amid lush trees and terraced gardens, enjoying unparalleled vistas of Florence, stretched out before it in all its classic splendour. Dating from the 15th century, the Villa's facade is attributed to Michelangelo. The hotel's largest and most romantic suite, the Michelangelo Suite, stretches the whole length of the façade of the hotel. Once the monastery library, it also served as Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte's headquarters in Florence.

Where In the World Are the Most Debian Developers?
Christian Perrier (Bubulle) issued statistics in his blog that show which countries of the world have the largest per capita Debian developers. First place goes to Finland.
Bubulle's weblog statistics appeared as a correction to Alexander Reichle-Schmehl's earlier report from August. According to Perrier, the per capita Debian developer rate is highest in Finland (3.93 active developers per million population), followed by Switzerland and Sweden, tied each at a 2.59 active developer rate. Chances are slim of racing ahead of Finland, unless you are Luxembourg and add one more active developer to the existing one to double its 2.03-per-million rate.
On an absolute basis, the U.S. has the highest number of active developers at 214, followed by 172 in Germany. However, the U.S. ranks in 19th place at a 0.7-per-million rate related to its overall population. As Perrier notes, "Germany and Austria are competing very closely, which is probably not a surprise... [and] there is a very tight match between Belgium, Netherlands, France and Ireland."
The tragedyMisspelled one word!
The HORROR!

The Treasury Department has sold the last portion of $225 billion in mortgage-backed securities purchased primarily from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac when the financial crisis was at its worst in 2008 and 2009.
Sales of the securities for $250 billion last week netted the government $25 billion in interest, Treasury reported Monday.
Some financial experts said the profit realized could be a sign that efforts to stabilize the mortgage market might not be as expensive as had been predicted in fall 2008. The government began selling its securities a year ago, after determining that market conditions were improving.
Treasury originally intervened in October 2008, with the government authorized to purchase up to $700 billion of "illiquid," primarily subprime, loans extended to buyers whose credit was poor or who could not verify their income.

Team Cotto Discuss Pacquiao Rumors, 147 Weight Limit
By Rick Reeno
Gaby Peñagarícano, the adviser to WBA 154-pound champion Miguel Cotto (37-2, 30KOs), spoke to BoxingScene.com regarding the circulating rumors that his fighter is going to face Manny Pacquiao (54-3-2, 38KOs) in a rematch on June 9th. In their 2009 welterweight title fight, Pacquiao stopped Cotto in the twelfth round to capture the WBO title. There have not been any conversations regarding the Pacquiao rematch, says Peñagarícano. But, there is a meeting scheduled for later this week with Top Rank to discuss a potential fight involving Cotto.
"We have not had any conversations [with Top Rank] about a Manny Pacquiao fight. We are going to speak with [Top Rank's CEO] Bob Arum later this week. He wants to talk about a potential fight for Miguel, but I don't know which fight that's going to be. It might be Pacquiao, it might be [Julio Cesar] Chavez Jr., we don't know right now," Peñagarícano told BoxingScene.com.
There have been reports that Pacquiao will not fight above the welterweight limit of 147-pounds. Hypothetically, without knowing the financial details and the overall package, Peñagarícano told BoxingScene that Cotto would not fight at the welterweight limit. Of course, as stated, that position could change depending on the terms - if Cotto is offered the fight.
"A hypothetical scenario, is that, if we were offered a fight with Pacquiao, that fight would not be at 147. We have to wait and see. Nothing can be categorical in this huge fight. We have to wait and see the entire package to see how the fighters react with their decisions on the weight. Without knowing the financial platform for the fight, it would not be at 147, from Miguel's perspective," Peñagarícano said.

These guys all want to BAIT Pacquiao to higher weight clasees in hopes of their largest payday ever, and at some point Pacquiao and advisors have to draw a line. Most these guys weighing 150/154, walk around on fight night…Post a Comment - View More User Comments (44)

These tips keep my convertible "like new",
By drlisamacon
from Orlando, FL
Comments about Levenger Convertible Rollerball Tip (set of 2):
The tips work great. I change mine every six months with fairly high usage. The price may seem high but the quality is very good. If the tip seems to skip, try wetting it with just a bit of oil - just a drop - which will allow the initial ink to flow more smoothly. I have had to do this once or twice, but not usually. As with any fine writing instrument, these require delicate handling. They are the best tips I have ever found for the value.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I buy these tips and use with my Chesterton expresso convertible rollerball and with my Visconti eco-roller. They are a little overpriced for sure but this also seems to be a limited market.

Jason Katims ("Friday Night Lights," "Parenthood") will produce, with Jon Favreau ("Iron Man") directing.
Walton will play a well-to-do bachelor who strikes up anode friendship with his new neighbors, a young boy and his eccentric mother.
Meanwhile, CBS has inked a deal with James Wolk to star alongside Robin Williams in their new comedy pilot "Crazy Ones," written by David E. Kelley ("Ally McBeal").

Estradiol Puggles are a hybrid breed that are the result of crossing a Pug and a Beagle; two purebred dogs. Estradiol A Puggle is a moderate sized dog that is considered excellent family pets. Estradiol They have the playful and docile lap dog qualities of the Pug and the energy and hunting instincts of the Beagle.
Estradiol The Puggle is an exceptionally friendly breed that gets a long well with children and thrives on human companionship. Estradiol They have plenty of energy and can be quite hyperactive at times – a trait they inherit from both their parents.
Estradiol Most Puggles are a perfect mix of Pug and Beagle and will warm the hearts of anyone looking for an energetic, estradiol outdoor loving lapdog.
Estradiol Puggles History
Estradiol Puggles have an extremely short history, estradiol and very little is known about when the first cross breed took place or why. Estradiol What is known is that that Puggle breed originated in America, estradiol and a Wisconsin Puggle breeder known as Wallace Havens was the first to register a Puggle litter with the American Canine Hybrid Club (ACHC). Estradiol Havens is also credited with giving the breed its name.
Estradiol The Puggle, estradiol like all hybrid dogs, estradiol are bred in different ways. Estradiol For instance, estradiol Puggles may be bred as follows:
- Pug – Beagle
- Pug – Puggle
- Beagle – Puggle
- Puggle – Puggle
Estradiol The different combinations produce different characteristics in the dogs. Estradiol For instance, estradiol certain coat color or other physical features may be different, estradiol and the temperaments may vary as well depending on how many Beagle traits there is in the dog compared to Pug or vice versa. Estradiol Therefore, estradiol it's a good idea to ask a Puggle breeder how they choose to breed their dogs and why.
Estradiol It is interesting to note that even though Puggles are hybrid dogs, estradiol they actually sell more than both their purebred parents. Estradiol The main reason why these dogs sell for so much is because they are considered "Designer Dogs". Estradiol Designer dogs are different hybrid breeds like the Puggle that have become extremely popular.
Estradiol Puggles – Charming Companions
Estradiol Puggles are incredibly loving and friendly dogs.
