David Haye: I Will Be Rooting For Alexander Povetkin!
By Chris LaBate
Former WBA heavyweight champion David Haye has given his take on today's battle between Ruslan Chagaev and Alexander Povetkin, who battle for the British boxer's old title in Germany. After losing a decision to Wladimir KLitschko in April, Haye has not made a decision on whether or not he will continue his career. The battle between Povetkin and Chagaev will be televised live in the U.S. exclusively on EPIX, and EpixHD.com will stream the fight live as part of a free two-week trial offer. The live broadcast and the live stream on EPIX and EpixHD.com, respectively, will begin with the main event at 5 p.m. ET / 2 p.m. PT.
"Povetkin versus Chagaev will be an interesting fight. I am curious to see the outcome - after all, they are fighting for my old belt. Povetkin is really strong, he is a former European, World and Olympic champ as an amateur and destroyed Chris Byrd and Eddie Chambers as a pro - that tells you all about his class. To this day Chagaev and I are the only fighters who have slayed the giant Nikolai Valuev. So I give Chagaev credit for that. As Povetkin is backed by my partners and friends Sauerland I will of course be rooting for him," Haye said.

El Guerrouj sets new 1,500-meter world record
The Associated Press
ROME (AP) - Hicham El Guerrouj took another long stride past Noureddine Morceli in the annals of middle-distance running Tuesday, slashing more than a second off the Algerian great's world record for the 1,500 meters.
El Guerrouj, who beat a fading Morceli to take the 1,500 gold at the World Championships last summer, clocked 3 minutes, 26 seconds at the Golden Gala meet on a cool night.
"Everything was right in Rome," the 23-year-old said after erasing Morceli's standard of 3:27.37, established at Nice, France, in July 1995. "The weather conditions and the track were good, and I was in the right shape."
El Guerrouj's dominating performance left other top entrants, including world 5,000 champion Daniel Komen (fourth in 3:31.08), far behind. The Moroccan dropped to his knees and kissed the track before being mobbed by other athletes.
In other events Tuesday, Marion Jones managed the night's only double, continuing her dominance of the 100 meters and then beating a tough field in the long jump. Also, Michael Johnson rebounded from just his second loss of the decade in the 400 meters to win that race; Svetlana Masterkova won the women's 1,500 in the year's best time, and veteran Frankie Fredericks stayed on track for a $1 million jackpot by winning the men's 100.
"I expect these things," El Guerrouj said of his run. "I came with the intention of breaking the record. Considering that last year here I ran 3:30 under the rain, (today's) result is not surprising."
Nor is his ascension to the title of the world's premier middle distance runner. El Guerrouj's next target. could be Morceli's prestigious record for the mile.
El Guerrouj appeared set to end Morceli's reign at the 1996 Olympics, when he caught the pace-setting Algerian with about 500 meters left in the 1,500 final. The two made contact and El Guerrouj fell after tangling with Morceli's right foot. Morceli won and El Guerrouj finished last.
The Moroccan's pursuit of Morceli first bore fruit at the IAAF Grand Prix Finals in Milan, Italy, in September 1996, when El Guerrouj ended his rival's four-year winning streak at the distance.
Jones, the world champion in the 100, was never challenged in the dash and crossed the line in a blazing 10.75 seconds, a quarter-second faster than runner-up Chrystie Gaines. Only two women - Florence Griffith-Joyner, who owns the record of 10.49, and Merlene Ottey - have ever run faster. It was still outside the year's best time of 10.71 that Jones has hit twice, including at the U.S. Championships, where she defended her title last month.
"I'm in great shape and it's a fast track," Jones said.
She had a half-hour to recover before the long jump, where she beat all three medalists from Athens - Lyudmila Galkina, Niki Xanthou and Fiona May. The American's top effort of 23 feet, 8 3/4 inches easily bettered May, who went 22-7 1/4.
Johnson covered the 400 in a relatively relaxed 44.40 seconds, but it was good enough to beat Mark Richardson (second in 44.62) and Iwan Thomas (fifth in 44.77). The double Olympic champion had finished behind those two Britons at Oslo, Norway, last Thursday.
Double Olympic champion Masterkova covered the 1,500 in 3:58.42, a meet record and better than two seconds quicker than the prior year's best time.
In the men's dash, Fredericks outleaned world 200 champ Ato Boldon to win, 9.97 to 9.99, with world 100 titlist Maurice Greene third in 10.04. Tim Harden, who triumphed at the U.S. Championships after defending titlist Greene withdrew with cramps, was last Tuesday in 10.28.
The Golden Gala is the second leg in the new Golden League, a six-meet series that offers a $1 million jackpot to anyone who wins their event at all six venues plus the Grand Prix Finals at Moscow in September.
One major disappointment Tuesday was pole vaulter Sergei Bubka. The six-time world champion and world record holder continued his poor season, managing to clear only 18- 1/2 and finishing 11th.
Elsewhere, Jonathan Edwards took the triple jump by leaping 57-9 on his only clean effort; American Bryan Bronson won the 400 hurdles, Kevin Toth won the shot put, and Haile Gebrsellasie won the 5,000 in 13:02.63, more than 20 seconds outside the record he set last month.
Among the women, Angie Vaughn beat another American, Melissa Morrison, in a photo finish in the 100 hurdles; Nigeria's Charity Opara won the 400 meters; world silver medalist Yelena Afanasyeva won the 800; and Morocco's Zohra Ouaziz won the 5,000.

SO HOW MANY Heisman Trophy voters knew who Johnny Manziel was at this time a year ago?
Hey, you could say the same thing about Cam Newton in 2010.
And 2 years ago, how many really had Robert Griffin III on their radar? Seriously, nobody from Baylor is supposed to win this thing.
Kind of makes you wonder what kind of surprise candidate the most-hyped race in sports might bring us this time. Or maybe it'll just come down to one or two of the projected suspects, like it generally used to.

The College World Series is in full swing, and we've already witnessed some fantastic....heck, historic performances.
Anyone who witnessed Gerrit Cole's eight-inning, 13-strikeout gem, consider yourself lucky. You got a sneak peak at what a top five pick in next year's draft will look like. I can't remember ever witnessing a more dominating performance from a guy who gave up three runs in one inning.
But Cole hasn't been the only guy who's shone on college baseball's biggest stage. And not all of the "stars of Omaha" have been players eligible for next year's draft. Several, such as Florida State's Mike McGee, have shown the teams that drafted them this year that they might deserve a raise from what they might have been offered pre-Omaha.
So here are the players, in order of draft year, who have earned themselves the right to up the ante on their services.

"I was looking at Oklahoma (no offer), but now they are off my list. I still like Oklahoma State (no offer), but I am mainly focusing on the ones that have offered," said McCann, of Putnam City High in Oklahoma City, Okla. "So, my favorites are the five that have offered.
"Everybody's neck-and-neck right now; I have no real favorite out of that five. Everybody has their pros and cons and are about even.
"Stanford is probably recruiting me the hardest. They send me something about every day and I get phone calls from them every week.
"The thought of having a degree from Stanford appeals to me. Also, they have new coaches and staff and are a program on the rise -- I would like to be a part of that," McCann said.
"All of the teams are recruiting me as a cornerback. I like that position. Of all the positions that I play, this is the most fun. It's just you and another man, one-on-one. If you are good, you can own a man all night.
"I am looking for a place that has good academics as well as a good football team. Football is a big part, but I want a degree that means something."
McCann has an official visit set up with Stanford on Jan. 13. He did not indicate dates for his other visits.
He reports one interception, one fumble recovery and six touchdowns this season. One of the touchdowns was a kick return for 87 yards, and another was a punt return for 70 yards.
He reports a 3.89 GPA and a 25 ACT. "I just got my transcripts, so my GPA is up-to-date. I will be taking the SAT probably in early 2006 -- maybe in December. Stanford has indicated that they would like to see an SAT score from me," he said.

"You can't choose how the mainstream portrays you," says Sam Adams, former mayor of Portland, Oregon, "but I was desperate and impressed with how evangelicals offered to help."
But desperation doesn't always drive cooperation, especially when the two parties disagree on abortion and gay marriage. Adams, in fact, is openly gay. Nevertheless, Adams and Kevin Palau, president of the Luis Palau Association, developed a partnership between churches and schools in the Portland area. They offer a model for how we can work together for the common good despite religious and political differences. Their examples gives us hope as Christians seeks to love our neighbors in settings increasingly hostile to the church.
This presentation was given to an audience of pastors in New York City. For all related videos and resources, go to centerchurch.com.

Haunted House?
The ghosts of Meads past haunt the Red Cottage, as we call it, in Manchester Beach.
They are a rowdy bunch, prone to throwing parties on Saturday nights that spill into the early hours of Sunday. That's when it sounds as if the gravel in the driveway is crunching from a trip to Taki's for a heartburn-inducing chili dog. But it's probably just the pesky squirrel that's stashed some nuts under the shower counting them in his sleep.
Later in the morning, you'd swear the blender is whirring away for the whiskey sours or the tinging of the Champagne glasses being filled with orange juice for mimosas -- the Mead family solution to getting enough vitamin C. But, really, it's just the furnace cranking up in its effort to ward off the northeast winds or the exhaust fan over the shower protesting the 40 mph gusts.
It really is hauntingly beautiful at this time of year. When the moon is full, you can see the long arms of the many trees reaching across the lawn toward the bedroom windows. What's left of the leaves on the trees gives the illusion of sprites dancing outside when they flick into the path of the car headlights in the parking lot across the creek at the marina.
The rest of the time, it's as dark as a black cat at midnight down there.
The only sounds are of Lake Erie either lapping or pounding the shore, the wind and the occasional black walnut as it bounces off the roof of the house. It's either that or a headless horseman playing polo in the yard again.
On this night, the only ghosts and goblins that will be paying me a visit are those in my imagination. The driveway is too long, the night too miserable for any visitors but the otherworldly. If one would come a haunting, I wish it would be my grandfather, who bought the property more than a half century ago. We could sit down to a plate of brownies (I promise they'd be a lot better than the last ones I made for him when I was 9 or 10) and cups of hot chocolate. He could tell me about the real skeletons in the Mead closet.
But I suspect the only spirits I'll be communicating with this All Hallows' Eve use e-mail and Facetime.
And the strange howls coming from the Red Cottage? That's my (really bad) Pat Monahan impersonation: an attempt to scare the squirrel.

Loved the show! My only complaint was that the sound was insufficient. I've been to other shows there and you could clearly hear everything from the back row. This time I was 2/3 of the way back just off center and had a hard time hearing everything. My friends sat elsewhere and had the same issue. FYI, there's no bathroom on the 1st floor so it's a hike to get to the bathrooms on the all the other floors above.

Thanks for the interview! I haven't seen Gundam Unicorn yet - I'm waiting until it's all out, because if it was really captivating, then having to last months until the next volume would be painful - but when it's all out on blu-ray, I'll definitely give it a whirl.
I never put two and two together that Gundam Unicorn's director was the same guy who worked on the Rurouni Kenshin series and Le Chevalier D'Eon. I enjoyed both of those a lot, so that boosts my outlook for this series.

Short but insightful is how I'd describe this brief exchange. For instance, it's interesting to know that Furuhashi was familiar with the original Gundam series, even if he's been more of a casual viewer after that point.
There is an implication that the fourth episode might have some changes from the novels, though I'm not in any position to speculate about whatever this may or may not actually mean.

Do all the characters have emotional breakdowns and fall to lows, with the best characters falling the farthest? Does the plot start off with potential but then loose itself? (The Shelf Life reviews make it sound as though it does). This is my main issue with Gundam as I've seen most of the series, and they all do this. I'm still getting over how they ravaged what could have been a good show with Gundam 00.
My above complaint happened in D'Eon as well. That show died after the Russian arc. It did have a great dub though, which helped keep it from falling too far, IMO.

This is more a problem that has happened with Sunrise as a whole over the past 8 years. The series starts out fantastic attracting all kinds of attention. Over the course of the second half the series loses what made it special in the first place (several Hime go insane, Shinn is replaced with Kira, Lelouch's plans get ridiculous, the moral ambiguity in Gundam 00 is removed)
My-Otome is the only Sunrise series in the last 8 years which had a better second half.

This probably isn't the best place to debate the content of Shelf Life reviews, but rather than the plot "losing" itself, so far I'd say that was a matter of Erin having a different set of expectations when it came to episode 3 of Gundam Unicorn. Even then, however, she still liked the characters despite finding a couple of the topics being discussed to be underwhelming. Thus, at the very least, I would advise anyone interested in the subject to check the show out for themselves and reach their own conclusions.
It's definitely early to make any general judgments about the entire project, however, since the story has barely reached the halfway point and, unlike most of the other Gundam series, this is an adaptation as opposed to an original production. Incidentally, I appreciate the fact that the director has been straightforward about this in the most recent interview.
While I don't know about that one....I can only vaguely agree with the principle that Sunrise hasn't been too good at making sequels or second seasons for a while, perhaps even longer than those 8 years mentioned, but I don't think this necessarily means all those series "lost" whatever made them "special" in the first place. That's a matter of opinion and interpretation, to say nothing else, since not all viewers watched those series from the same perspective or were bothered by the same real or alleged issues.
In short, I would say they all have their respective problems but there's a lot of room for healthy debate about each of them, as opposed to throwing out the baby with the bathwater with no further considerations, other than automatically dismissing everything. In that sense, I'd also advise people to develop their own lines of thought, if at all possible, instead of doing otherwise.

I totally agree with that; the first half of Mai-Otome could almost be skipped and the viewer wouldn't miss anything. HiME was horrible--they removed all the drama, and Mai's descent into emo territory didn't work for me. I tried shoving some prozac into my tv, but it didn't help.
There was also Haruhi, where the 2nd half repeated the same episode 8 times IIRC. That was inexcusable.
IMO Gundam 00 didn't know what it wanted to do. Once Celestial Being instated their goal of unifying the world by giving mankind a common enemy to rally together against--which I thought was a thoughtful idea--the show seemed to be clueless as to where it wanted to go, and it went downhill fast.
(BTW, is anyone else starting to feel as though America is a real-life Celestial Being?)
Though what about Planetes? I thought the second half of that was pretty good, in a rare move the show moved to realism (the terrorist incident) and characters made choices with hard consequences without the show fudging the plot to give the characters the good without the bad.
@nightjuan, I'm not going to form a definite opinion on the show until I see it. However, I'm tired of having my expectations dashed by shows that start off good, and have a great buildup, only to then jump off the metaphorical cliff and die, taking my time and hope with them. I just can't get into Unicorn due to that. I can extrapolate that it will suck (IMO) because all the others before it did, but there is still that slim chance that this will be the one gundam I think is good. I want to see how high the chance of that is before I invest time and money.
(On shelf life, while I've only read it recently, I find myself agreeing. I didn't like Phantom, and I enjoyed Golgo 13...albeit for different reasons, so I'll give that columnist some of my trust in reviews.)

Perhaps so, but that wouldn't be Sunrise's fault or would it? That's a KyoAni show.
Not to get too political here, but I do believe the concept of a certain nation being called the "world's policeman" has a long and twisted history that goes above and beyond current events. In a way, however, Gundam 00's first season did try to take a page (or several) from contemporary international affairs for its own purposes.
I happen to agree with you about that, for the most part, but I've known people who didn't exactly share those sentiments. For whatever it's worth, however, Planetes was a manga adaptation...albeit one that did take certain liberties, both for better and for worse. Still a great show though, at least as far as I'm concerned.
Which is, of course, entirely within your prerogatives.
I don't know how many Gundam series you've seen, overall, but at the very least it's certainly warranted to take a break from time to time instead of trying to watch all of them, especially if they're not living up to your expectations.
Can't say I would adopt that stance as a general rule, but sometimes I've also preferred to wait until a series has been completed before actually watching any of it (the Rebuild of Evangelion movies, for example, though for entirely unrelated reasons).
All I can do is point out a couple of differences in the production process for Gundam Unicorn, which isn't identical to that of other series, and reiterate my personal satisfaction with what has happened so far. No more, no less. None of us can provide any guarantees.
That's nice to know and, rightfully so, one of the many uses for such columns. Still, it's not like she completely dismissed the show.
Curiously enough, I tend to agree with Erin more often than I've disagreed, for the record, but just find it far more interesting to discuss our greater or lesser differences of opinion rather than to simply reiterate our agreement. We're all distinct individuals, after all, and even those with similar tastes are bound to disagree sooner or later.

True, but I put some blame for that on Bandai, & the distinction between Bandai and Sunrise is rather thinly defined.
I'm aware Planetes is a manga adaptation--it's one of the unfortunately rare manga adaptations that is awesome. Regretfully I haven't read the manga. I wasn't aware that we were only talking about shows that Sunrise created the original concept for though.
As far as I know, I've seen at least parts of them all, except Unicorn. I'm just not enthralled with them; like bleach I keep up with them a bit just because I feel that it's the "civic duty" of an anime fan (esp. since I do the con circuit), not because I enjoy them. But unlike the average mega-popular shounen, Gundam has the potential to be awesome. It starts to fulfill that potential, and then it makes a hard left turn. Why Bandai, Why?! Maybe I'll give the English dub a shot for UC, the only Gundam I've seen dubbed was 08MS.

Deep Horror Before Jaws: The Monster That Challenged the WorldPosted: June 18, 2016 in Uncategorized
Tags: Creature from the Black Lagoon, giant monsters, horror, Jaws, Monster That Challenged the World, Nature's Fury Blogathon, science fiction, Them!
If Moby-Dick is the biggest literary influence on Stephen Spielberg's Jaws (apart from the novel on which it was based), its primary cinematic touchstone is Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954). Jaws references Creature by recreating a number of shots from the underwater ballet sequence in the opening scene, and by strongly echoing the earlier film's score in its own. All this being said, Jaws also has points in common with 1957's The Monster That Challenged the World. I'm hesitant to posit a direct influence (though as we'll see, there is at least one moment that is pretty strikingly similar). Rather, I'll say that Monster taps into the same primal fear as Jaws and Creature, and does so quite effectively. Read the rest of this entry »
Batman V Superman and the Pleasures of ExcessPosted: March 29, 2016 in Uncategorized

I was 19 when the first issue of The Dark Knight Returns appeared. That same year, Watchmen also began its run. My 19-year-old self, then at the height of his comic-collecting years, devoured those series, and waited breathlessly for each subsequent (and increasingly delayed) issue. These were thunderbolt stories for me (along with Alan Moore's still-ongoing run of Swamp Thing). All this is by way of saying that 19-year-old me would have been rendered over-the-moon ecstatic by Batman V. Superman. He would have grooved like hell over all the direct Frank Miller quotations (the death of Bruce's parents, many of Alfred's mutterings, big chunks of the fight itself, and so on). Yeah, past-me would have love this.

The Demonic Ecstasy of The WitchPosted: February 26, 2016 in Uncategorized
Tags: horror, The Witch
"Thou hast conquered, O pale Galilean; the world has grown grey from thy breath" — so wrote Algernon Swinburne in "Hymn to Proserpine" (1866), and the faith-imbued world of the unfortunate family in The Witch is grey and pale indeed. The force they encounter is unequivocally evil, but one of the remarkable things about the movie is that even as we fear this force, we feel its seductive power as well. It is anything but grey.
The Witch is fine new entry in the annals of Satanic cinema. Its closest cousin is probably Blood on Satan's Claw (1970), a period piece in which the children of a rural village in England become demon-possessed. In its rhythms, though, it has more in common with The Wicker Man and Don't Look Now (both 1973) — horror films that are not constructed around a series of terrifying set pieces, but choose instead to keep their powder dry, building dread and preparing the way for their devastating conclusions. (Though The Witch has a major piece of nastiness early on, alerting us to the fact that all bets are off. Anything can happen here.)
Spoiler warning now for the rest of this entry. Don't read any further if you're planning on seeing the film.

Bugaboo Donkey Stroller: Making Life With Twins Easier?by Amber Leventry

Study Ties Entitlement Beliefs To Sexism In Both Men And Womenby T Goodman
You may be surprised to know that the prevalence of sexism is greater among the millenial generation than it is or was in the baby boomer generation. Because of the resurgence of male gender superiority as a more prevalent attitude among men and women, social scientists have been examining the trend of late, trying to ascertain why and where these attitudes come from. A study published in the journal Sex Roles examines the role that the feeling of 'entitlement' plays.

Mental Illness Worse For Longevity Than Smokingby T Goodman
If you smoke 20 or more cigarettes a day, your average life span is 8 to 10 years less than the person who never smoked. That's a lot of years. But data from 20 different studies involving more than 1.7 million people show researchers from Oxford University that people with mental illnesses die, on average, even earlier than those who are regular or heavy smokers.....

Costco to Host Book Signings for Local Shaver, Huntington, and Hume Lakes Authors
Steven D. Harrison and Michael J. Semas will be available to sign copies of pictorial history
The Shaver and Huntington Lakes area has a rich history that is well documented in photographs. This new pictorial history shares images, the majority of which come from the authors' private collections, of the Sierra Nevada of Fresno County and its rich natural resources. Stories about the logging operations of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and the building of dams and millponds, such as Hume Lake, sawmills, railroads and two of the longest flumes in the world, are included in the book.
Authors Steven D. Harrison and Michael J. Semas also share the stories of the 20th century and the formation of Shaver and Huntington lakes. Images tell the history of Southern California Edison Company's Big Creek Hydroelectric Project, which resulted in the creation of several lakes, including Shaver and Huntington and a series of powerhouses for hydroelectric power. These lakes provided new venues for fishing and boating. Included here are epic stories told with historical postcards of logging, electricity and leisure in the Central Sierra Nevada within Fresno County.

Posted on 08/08/2007 12:51:27 PM PDT by LibWhacker
Last updated at 17:58pm on 8th August 2007 A homeowner has been arrested and quizzed by police after an intruder he confronted during a burglary fell out of a third floor window.
The burglar, 43, was left fighting for his life after he tumbled up to 40 feet when he was disturbed rifling through through the flat.
He is thought to have got up and tried to run off but collapsed on the pavement. Police, who received a 999 call, found him unconscious on the ground outside the smart Victorian appartment block in Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Manchester.
The burglar fell from this third floor window
He was rushed to hospital with life threatening injuires.
Officers arrested the 56-year old occupant of the flat on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm with intent over the possibility that the intruder was pushed out of the window.
He was later released on bail until November pending further inquiries. If charged and convicted the arrested man could face life imprisonment.
The arrest is expected to fuel arguments about the right of householders to defend themselves against burglars - which has been high on the law and order agenda since farmer Tony Martin was jailed for shooting dead a burglar in 1999.
Greater Manchester Police said the occupant of the apartment was asleep when he woke up at 6,10am on Tuesday to find the intruder in his flat. The pair got embroiled in an argument which spilled over towards the window of the flat.
A neighbour, aged 56, from a nearby property who asked not to be named, said: "I was up at around that time, and I did hear a noise like a window being broken.
"I had no idea what it was, but the police arrived in what seemed to be minutes. The house was taped off and the police were there for the whole day.
"The crime scene investigators were there, which seemed very unsual for an area like this.
"It's very quiet around here. The house where it happened is split into flats and I'm not sure who is living there now but they all seem to be very respectable.
"It's shocking to find out what has happened but then again, people shouldn't break into other people's houses."
Another local said: "If the guy who fell out of the window was breaking into the property then why was the homeowner arrested?"
"I presume we will have to respect the burglar's rights whilst his victim has the nightmare of court hanging over his head. It all seems so unfair."
Following the Tony Martin affair the Crown Prosecution Service and the Association of Chief Police Officers said any householder can use reasonable force to protect themselves or others, or can carry out an arrest to prevent crime.
In a joint statement they said: "You are not expected to make fine judgements over the level of force you use in the heat of the moment.
"So long as you only do what you honestly and instinctively believe is necessary in the heat of the moment, that would be the strongest evidence of you acting lawfully and in self defence. This is still the case if you use something to hand as a weapon.
"As a general rule, the more extreme the circumstances and the fear felt, the more force you can lawfully use in self-defence."
If the householder chases the intruders as they run off, and the burglar gets injured, the occupant could face charges.
The CPS and ACPO statememt added: "This situation is different as you are no longer acting in self-defence and so the same degree of force may not be reasonable.
"However, you are still allowed to use reasonable force to recover your property and make a citizen's arrest.
"You should consider your own safety and, for example, whether the police have been called. A rugby tackle or a single blow would probably be reasonable.
"Acting out of malice and revenge with the intent of inflicting punishment through injury or death would not."
Anyone with any information about the incident is asked to contact West Didsbury CID on 0161 856 6152 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
I must agree here. Smart apartment.
Another reason the British people are a shadow of their former selves.
If the perp is thrown out of the window as a result of a tackle, the homeowner wouldn't be at fault. (Oh yeah, this is the nanny state Britain, not the US).
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
Instead of defenestrated, he should have been penetrated.......
Humpty-Dumpty had a great fall,
Which more than made up for a lousy summer.
Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Manchester.......Heh, heh, heh.........
Maybe this was a "smart" address when it was built, but it looks rather seedy to me.
I'll bet you have a haiku lurking in there as well...
No, sorry. That's the extent of my poetic talent! :-)
I was getting concerned until I read that. Then the thought "Oh, in England" washed over me and the world looked like it should once more.
England has moved a lot farther toward socialist totalitarianism than we have, so I'm not surprised that the homeowner was arrested. They might just as well pass a law that allows all downtrodden, poor, victim, have-nots to take whatever they bloody-well please from property owners.
No doubt Sir Winston Churchill roils in his grave.
Now THERE'S logic for you?
Bringing us to shoot, shovel, and shut up.
After all, presumably no thief actually tells someone, "I'm off to go rob 1234 Oak Street Apt B today."
I see a lot of Brit tourist here in Bratislava.
Many are sloven bums that come here only to get drunk.
Other then that, PC is destroying the UK, just as it is the US.
Referring to him as a "homeowner" implicates him as a filthy capitalist who deserves to be in prison. Why should he have when others do not?
Crocodile falls 12 floors in escape bid (Khenar, this is his 3rd attempt to escape)
It will be interesting to see how long it takes for the Britons to revolt against this utter idiocy ... if they ever find the intestinal fortitude ... we here in the US should watch with great interest how it plays out cause the way it's going ... we are just a few steps behind them
"I presume we will have to respect the burglar's rights whilst his victim has the nightmare of court hanging over his head. It all seems so unfair."
Very illustrative of the situation in Great Britain these days.....
Ejected in graceful arc
to ground
Is this a haiku?
There will come a time when the good people of Britain will have had enough of this PC nonsense and the result will be ugly. Why can't their leadership see the freight train coming?
Officers arrested the 56-year old occupant of the flat on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm with intent over the possibility that the intruder was pushed out of the window.
He was later released on bail until November pending further inquiries. If charged and convicted the arrested man could face life imprisonment.
And I thought WE had it all wrong! Long ago, I thought it might be fun to visit the UK. Now, I can hardly stand to hear about it. The insanity over there is gatting harder and harder to believe.
So many file drawers.
What treasures lie there within?
Oof! The grass is firm!
LOL, you sicko. Google "Khum Dhan" and watch the video. Funniest I've seen in a long time!
The purpose of the Second Amendment is is not only to protect one from burglars like this but also from the government that would arrest you for defending yourself.
But England never had a constitutional right to bear arms.
Hehe! Thanks! I've been working on one myself!
watch that first step
It's a bitch
You'd think that the Brits would have gotten a clue from how many copies of "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" were sold. Britain is firmly in the hands of Professor Umbridge and her minions, it would appear.
Mr Walsh was later released on bail until November. If charged and convicted he could face a life sentence.
I can understand where police would investigate someone shooting a burglar - to be sure it really was a burglar, but when a fleeing burglar hurts himself? It seems Merry Old England has gone from "A man's home is his castle" to A man's home is everyone else's castle.
How did this happen?
I only have fast lead available here as they should there. Sad to here of such a great country going down the tubes but it's not an ancestral home for nothing.
I guess the "defense of the realm" is no longer allowed in the UK :-(
Why do we align ourselves with these creatures again?
They might just as well pass a law that allows all downtrodden, poor, victim, have-nots to take whatever they bloody-well please from property owners.
And outlaw all door locks ...
Manchester Burglar
Summer sounds of breaking glass
Lands flat on his a$$
"I presume we will have to respect the burglar's rights whilst his victim has the nightmare of court hanging over his head. It all seems so unfair."
At least one sensible person lives in the neighborhood.
UK is such a disgrace. I believe this feminization is deliberate.
Are you aware of the case in the UK where in a rural area a homeowner shot a burglar (with a shotgun I think), and the homeowner was arrested and imprisoned for years?
Pushing the a$$hole out the window sounds pretty reasonable to me!

Purpose of review: Erectile dysfunction is common after radical prostatectomy. Erectile dysfunction has a negative impact on health-related quality of life. Penile rehabilitation is defined as the use of any drug or device at or after radical prostatectomy to maximize erectile function recovery. This is an up-to-date review of the current state of science supporting penile rehabilitation after radical prostatectomy.
Recent findings: The purpose of penile rehabilitation is to prevent corpus cavernosal smooth muscle structural alterations to not only maximize the chances of a man to recover functional erections but also return him to his preoperative erectile function level. Current animal and human data support the use of PDE5 inhibitor and the generation of early erections after radical prostatectomy as a strategy to improve erectile function recovery. The magnitude of this improvement is currently unclear.
Summary: The results from animal and human studies imply that the use of PDE5 inhibitor and the generation of erections early after radical prostatectomy are of some benefit to erectile function recovery. Although the definitive protocol for rehabilitation is not defined, future work is aimed at determining this.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) - The New York Giants let the Philadelphia Eagles hang around. Big mistake.
Donovan McNabb threw an 18-yard touchdown pass to James Thrash with 1:52 left in the game to give Philadelphia a 10-9 victory over the Giants on Monday night.
It was Philadelphia's first win over the Giants in 10 games and gave the Eagles (3-2) a one-half game lead over New York (3-3) in an NFC East where no other team seems likely to challenge.
The touchdown followed a 27-yard punt by Rodney Williams that gave Philadelphia a first down at the New York 40 with 5:52 left. Six plays later, McNabb rolled to his right, bought time and found Thrash in the left corner of the end zone with Will Peterson chasing in futility.
As much credit goes to the Philadelphia defense, which held New York to four straight series of three downs and out. Then it forced a fumble by Giants quarterback Kerry Collins on New York's final possession when Jeremiah Trotter stripped the ball and Brandon Whiting managed to recover before the ball went out of bounds.
New York had jumped to a 9-0 lead in the first half as it controlled the ball for 24:35 of the 30 minutes. But it couldn't get the ball in the end zone, settling for field goals of 24, 21, and 24 yards by Morten Andersen.
The defense, meanwhile, sacked McNabb six times, two by Michael Strahan, who now has 101/2 in his last four games. It was the second one-point loss for the Giants, who lost 15-14 in St. Louis last week in a game in which the Rams forced a fumble as New York was driving for the winning field goal.
It was the first time since 1930 that the Giants had lost consecutive one-point games.
New York had 13 first downs in the first half to two for the Eagles.
The Giants took a 3-0 lead on Andersen's 24-yard field goal at the end of a 64 yard, 15-play drive that consumed 8:17 on the clock. It was helped by three offside penalties on the Eagles.
New York made it 6-0 on Andersen's 21-yarder 2:04 into the second period. It was set up by Shaun Williams' interception and 20-yard return.
Then it was 9-0 on Andersen's second 24-yarder that followed another plodding drive. That march covered 61 yards on 13 plays and ate up another 8:28.
Late in the third quarter, the Eagles reached the New York 7 with the help of two penalties against the Giants. But McNabb's third-down pass was out of the end zone and David Akers' 25-yard field goal cut the deficit to 9-3.

The roundtable themed Media and Business Community – Issues of Mutual Interests was held by Phap luat TPHCM newspaper in collaboration with Thoi bao Kinh te Sai Gon, Sai Gon Tiep thi, Doanh nhan Sai Gon and television channel FBNC.
Speaking at the event, Vu Anh Tam, chairman of Tai Nguyen Co., said policy quality was worth discussing since many of the current policies were ambiguous and impractical. He hoped the media would reflect business opinions about policy quality.
Le Chi Hieu, chairman and general director of Thu Duc Housing Development Corp. (Thuduc House), said legal and policy risks in Vietnam were higher than in many other nations. There are problems in every aspect and every sector, and legal documents are contradicting each other, he remarked.
To cope with this situation, businesses choose the easiest way, which is to give bribes, he said.
Citing real estate as an example, he said this sector was facing multiple problems such as exorbitant prices, huge inventory and poor liquidity. Both enterprises and the State are to blame for this situation, he stated.
High prices are caused by unreasonable regulations on site clearance compensation, land use fees and corporate income tax, along with sky-high lending rates and cumbersome procedures, he explained.
Tran Van Thanh, chairman of House Vietnam Co., said the economy had been infected with a virus named financial distress. Still, policies are confusing and ambiguous, undermining the confidence of the business community.
Pham Duc Binh, chairman and general director of Thanh Binh Co. in Dong Nai, stressed enterprises were struggling with impractical regulations, which they could hardly satisfy. Therefore, they have to suffer, dodge the laws or violate them.
He suggested that when reporting on businesses, the media should only report what had been completely obvious.
Representatives of many companies said a lot of information on the media was untrue, causing them much trouble. They proposed reporters and journalists be more responsible, always confirming the information they hear and having a deeper thought on every issue.
Truong Dinh Hoe, general secretary of the Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP), said the media should give their opinions on the State policies right in their draft stage rather than waiting until their release.
Tran Ngoc Chau, director of FBNC, said the business community was a source for economic newspapers. Although the media cannot directly remove difficulties for enterprises, they can exert a pressure on the policymakers.
At the roundtable on Wednesday, Le Hoang Chau, chairman of the HCMC Real Estate Association, Le Chi Hieu and Nguyen Thanh Toai, deputy general director of Asia Commercial Bank (ACB), volunteered to join hands with the editors in chief of Phap luat TPHCM, Thoi bao Kinh te Sai Gon, Sai Gon Tiep thi, Doanh nhan Sai Gon and FBNC to organize regular meetings between the media and the business community.

2 hours surfing with my 9 yr old His older brother was playing footie so there was a spare board
and I couldn't resist Good times.....
2 hours surfing with my 9 yr old His older brother was playing footie so there was a spare board
and I couldn't resist Good times.....
I have been walking from 10.30am till 5pm yesterday and today.
I also have been dancing for at least 2 hours of the last two days...
I think I got exercise enough
My story, My thought....
It's all about trying to stay healthy!!!!
Weights based on SS programme
Squat 3x5 @ 120kg
Press 3X5 @ 67.5kg Bit of "push press" going on here, hoping my 0.5kg micro plates come soon....
Pullups 3X8
Deadlift 1x 170kg
Each exercise had a few progressive warmup sets. I know pullups should be last, but I find it too
easy to sack them if i've been blitzed by DL's. I used to do 3 main sets of DLs, but would often end up
missing a whole session later in the week. Does't seem to affect progress though, so hey ho.......
trap bar "squat" 205
bodyweight 203
A milestone.
A pathetic one but a milestone.
Take off 40 pounds of blubber and add it to the bar and I'd be at 1.5 bw without being stronger.
200 Calories of Cardio to Warm Up
5 sets of Squats
5 sets of Hanging Curls
5 Sets of Overhead Press
Coach Football tonight (not looking forward to it)
Squats (3 x 5 x 315), Press (3 x 5 x 150), Power Cleans (5 x 3 x 145), some kind of weighted chin-ups (not there yet, gonna be pretty much smoked by then).
edited: 3 sets of 3 chin-ups with +90 lbs. And that's at the end of my workout. Not sure how these got so much stronger in the several weeks that I haven't trained them seriously, but I'm not complaining. Take that, Neckhammer.

Twas indeed 1x5x170kg on the DL.
I consider my home base workout to be lots of weighted chins, weighted dips, and deadlifts all done real heavy (3-6 rep range I like)..... throw a couple other things in, but those are my big three. Anyway, did some drop sets without rest with no real rest time between exercises. My first time doing this in about 2 months was as follow:
Weighted chins drop sets: 90lbs x 2.9 reps (lol...cant call it three... I was a nipple hair away from getting there), 45lbs x 4, BW x 4
Weighted dips: 90lbs x 5, 45lbs x 4, BW x 5
One arm rows: 60 x 8 each side (super slow)
Shoulder press and Leg press machines for same deal with dropsets, but weights don't matter since it was machine work to failure.
This was a killer workout with no breaks and all the dropset work. I actually thought I would puke. Sat on the bench for 10 minutes after the leg press....tried to walk to the locker room and my damn left leg gave out and I had to sit up against the wall for 10 more minutes hyperventilating and legs still quivering. All of those drop sets may have been a little bit much, but I was on vacation last week and didn't work out at all so I was really looking for an intense session.

Photographer Taryn Brumfitt's work "Exotic C Food" at Living Artists Festival
- From: The Advertiser
- August 20, 2010
IT'S seafood as you've never seen it before.
Photographer Taryn Brumfitt has combined creatures from the deep with glamorous nude models for her debut exhibition, Exotic C Food, at the South Australian Living Artists Festival.
The exhibition marks a departure in style for Mrs Brumfitt, who runs Sugar Plum Photography and specialises in weddings and children's portraits.
"Exotic C Food was a vision in my head for the past three years," she said.
"It's all about the contradiction of the beautiful ladies with the slippery, smelly, cold seafood."
Her images are on display at the IGA Gourmet Grocer in Hyde Park and will be available to buy as part of the festival's closing event, SALA on Sale, on King William Rd tomorrow.
More than 60 artists will display 200 works from 10am-4pm.
SALA general manager Penny McAuley said children could take part in free face-painting and craft activities. Artist Carolyn d'Mello will paint a fridge, which will be auctioned for charity.
Have your say
