Welcome back to the LiverKick.com rankings. These rankings are an attempt to break down the top 25 fighters in two different weight classes - Heavyweight, for fighters above the 77kg limit, and Middleweight, for fighters at the 70-72.5kg limit. Our rankings are based on in-ring accomplishments and recent wins and loses. We hope they reflect where these fighters currently stand, although we recognize that all rankings are inherently subjective.
March 2011
Another month, another period of essential inaction in the heavyweight ranks, although this time there were at least a few fights that impacted the rankings.
The biggest of course was the huge It's Showtime clash between Hesdy Gerges and Daniel Ghita. This battle between the sport's next generation heavyweights lived up to the hype. Gerges pulled out a close (and, according to some, controversial) decision - he moves up to #7, while Ghita falls back to #9.
The other notable fight was in Australia, where Paul Slowinski defeated Thor Hoopman handily in one round. With that win, Slowinski brings his record in the last year up to an impressive 8-2, and earns himself a spot back in the rankings at #22. Glad to see The Sting back in here after many wrote him off a few years ago.
Luckily, things are definitely gaining momentum, as we have some solid fights announced in the upcoming weeks and months. This weekend is the Ultimate Glory semi-finals, featuring #5 Gokhan Saki vs. Wendell Roche and #15 Brice Guidon vs. #19 Mourad Bouzidi. Also this weekend is a Local Kombat show with a number of fighters just outside the top 25: Freddy Kemayo vs. Sebastian Ciobanu, Dzevad Poturak vs. Ionut Ifitmoaie, Catalin Morosanu vs. Ayadin Yuksel, and hot upcoming prospect Andrei Stoica vs. Alex Rossi. I'd expect at least the winner of Kemayo vs. Ciobanu to make it in to next month's rankings.
But the big news is the return of #4 Badr Hari. It's been nearly a year since we've seen the Golden Boy in action - he'll make his long-awaited return on May 14 for It's Showtime in Lyon. His opponent will be French fighter Tony Gregory. Also on that card: #10 Tyrone Spong vs. Igor Mihaljevic, and #9 Daniel Ghita vs. #22 Paul Slowinski. For some reason, rumors keep popping up about #11 Jerome Le Banner fighting on this card as well, but I would not count on it as the main card seems completed.
After that, It's Showtime continues their lock on the HW division with #7 Hesdy Gerges vs. Alexey Ignashov on July 23.
Finally, 2010 K-1 Oceania champion Ben Edwards has two upcoming fights - April 2 vs. Carter Williams, and July 30 vs. an opponent TBA. Good chance for Edwards to get back into the rankings with a pair of wins.
As for #1 Alistair Overeem? No clue. His next fight should be an MMA fight against Fabricio Werdum in the opening round of the Strikeforce Grand Prix. But with the recent UFC buyout of Strikeforce, who knows what this means. Will Overeem continue on as Strikeforce champion? Will he move into the UFC? Will Zuffa allow him to still take kickboxing bouts on the side (don't bet on it). It's all up in the air. For now, get your Reem fix with the first episode of The Reem, Part 2.

IT IS GOOD BEEKEEPING PRACTICE TO TAKE WINTER LOSSES IN THE FALL - Farrar
I was in the Total Wine store at Northpoint the other day and noticed they had a bottle of wine that sells for $1,800!!!
Why, for that kind of money I could buy 6 bottles of our regular wine. What are they thinking?
Liberty or Tyranny?
just 6 bottle's hmmm, if I drank wine all I could afford is Mad Dog 20/20, I could get about 200+ bottles of those for $1800

That was the joke, that an $1,800/bottle wine was outrageous, while $300/bottle was normal.
Our "go-to" wine is 1.5L bottles of "Twisted Zen". Total Wine retails them for $8.99...
Liberty or Tyranny?
I alternate my breakfeast. MaltOmeal/whoney and a few grapenuts, or Oatmeal/whoney and a few grapenuts, or Cherios/whoney, or Kelloggs Corn Flakes/whoney, or 3 med. boiled eggs-2 pieces of toast made with homemade butter/whoney.
But I always eat my southern fried battered chicken with honey also.
"I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country." Nathan Hale, 1776
Eat toast
Honey Wheat Oatmeal Bread
10 fluid ounces warm water
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/3 cup honey
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup rolled oats
3 cups whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons vital wheat gluten
2 teaspoons instant yeast
Place oatmeal in large mixing bowl, pour 8 ounces of boiling water over it; let cool until lukewarm mix in pollen. Mix 1 teaspoon of honey in 2 ounces warm of water and dissolve the yeast in it; let stand 5 minutes.
Add dissolved yeast to oatmeal mixture then add honey and oil, blend. Combine flour, wheat gluten and salt. Add flour blend to oatmeal mixture and mix thoroughly to form soft dough.
Turn out onto lightly floured surface and knead 5 to 10 minutes. Form into a loaf and place in greased pan. Let rise 30 minutes in warm place. Bake 1 hour in 325 degree oven. Cool on rack. For soft crust, brush loaf tops with butter while hot.
During Golden Rod season I add 2 tablespoons of Golden Rod blossoms in place of the pollen.
Serve with Honey Butter
1 stick of soft butter whipped with ½ cup of honey or honey to taste, can use crystallized honey
Oatmeal (made from rolled oats) topped with cinnanom and honey. Delicious!
I'm the designated breakfast maker at my house. The family comes up on Sunday morns and it's either
The 2nd best homefries ever -actually they're so good they take both 1st and 2nd
Fried Eggs your way
Buttermilk or Buckwheat pancakes with our own maple syrup
and Meat (Slab Bacon, Smoked Ham, Conrned beef Hash or such)
And toast with real butter and home made Jam
Steel cut Oats with a mess of filings ie figs, dates, apples, blueberrys (picked from our bushes and frozen fresh) cranberries and appropriate spices and maybe a few rosehips thrown in.
Weekdays - well whatever I feel like that day. Gotta love those Grapenuts but some days coco puffs really hit the spot!
Always the best fresh ground coffee I can find (love Dark Sumatra) and Juice
This thread reminds me of HeeHaw in the old days and "Grandpa what's for supper?"
Rice with a little honey and milk
Protein definitely carries me into the day the longest. No matter how much I enjoy oats covered in honey and butter, I tend to get hungry a few short hours later. Here's a good way to kill two birds with one stone, or one fish I should say. For dinner get yourself an over-sized piece of wild trout or salmon. Rub it with olive oil and crushed garlic, then sprinkle it with dill, salt and pepper, finally drizzle your favorite lite varietal honey over the salmon...bake or grill until the salmon is almost fully cooked but raw and reddish orange at the top, the key is to finish the salmon under the broiler to caramelize the honey garlic herb mixture. Douse with lemon juice and enjoy...but not too much...save some for Breakfast!!! The next morning, go pull a hen off the eggs...grab a few, and whip em up with a little cream from the goats or cows and then make a salmon omelette or frittata with chopped asparagus, cream cheese and capers. Recycling at its finest...of course with a piece of honey whole wheat toast, doused in honey, with jasmine green tea and honey for desert
a large piece of cornbread leftover from the night before with a light portion of real butter and a heavy portion of honey is great with dinner, but for breakfast I'm with TwT and have a 12 cup pot of coffee, but it only takes 4 of my cups to empty it.
Oatmeal w/ raisins and honey, a glass of water and a banana.
Mark Berninghausen
"The most important meal of the day" at least until lunch!!!!
We usually cook some fresh eggs, bacon or elk sausage, pancakes or toast w/ honey/cinnamon, tea w/ honey and pollen or if the snows too deep I'll make up some oatmeal w/ last seasons blueberries, apples, pecans and sometimes banana. sweetened w/ honey and toast. I have been sweetening my jams,fruit butters and jellies w/ honey lately too for our toast and pancakes. I try to grab a spoon or 2 of honey and cinnamon/ pollen if I cant get the wife up or I'm too busy.
I love french toast!
2 eggs
3 Table spoons of honey
1 teaspoon vanilla syrup
1 teaspoon cinnamon
mix it all up, cook, and cover with more honey!!!! Oh and it is great with any kind of bread, white, whole grain.... anything
I'm trying to lose some weight so I've been eating a cup and a half of Fiber One cereal with a couple of tablespoons(more or less) on it to give it some flavor.I eat it dry without any milk.I put the milk in my 2-32 oz cups of coffee and when I want some protien I throw in 3 or 4 boiled eggs.I've already lost 53 lbs (and I'm still fat!) but I'm headed in the right direction.Its a real eye opener when you watch the first weigh in on biggest loser and you weigh more than 90% of the contestants.
My everyday breakfast is:
4 eggs
4 pieces of turkey bacon
1 piece of whole wheat toast
2 cups of coffee with 1 full large spoonful of honey in each cup!
Keeps me happy for about 2 hrs until its snacktime

New board rant (Rossi Nitro Burton Lib Capita)
Here we go again...I'm gonna rant about boards, but the difference is I've tried a few ones this time. I'll comment on boards I've tried and then discuss boards I'm considering. As usual it's going to be way too long-winded. Please bear with me, and please give me feedback.
First, about me:
Experience/Level: 17 days all in all, of which 5 have been under supervision of a professional instructor in Val Thorens. I'd say I'm kind of sniffin' Intermediate in the rear. I'm linking turns, Greens and Blues are no problem, some Reds are ok, moguls are giving me a really hard time. I can do tail and nose presses and I'm learning how to carve, butter and do 180s.
Preference: All-Mtn I suppose. I like to play on and off the groomers, hitting (very) small jumps and what little pow I can find whenever I can. Park is meh, jib is feh.
Height: 187 cm (6'2") - not that it matters much, but...
Weight: 82-85 kg (180-185 lbs.) in the nude, about 200 lbs. when all geared up. Protection, y0.
Boot: Nitro Team TLS 2013 size 44/290/11, no shrinkage tech
Bindings: Burton Cartel Re:Flex 2013 size L
Board: Burton Blunt 2012 159mw
Angles: Still experimenting...
Boards tried so far:
Burton Blunt 2012 159mw (waist 260 mm)
True Twin, V-rocker profile, soft flex (Burton 3/10). Used with my Cartels.
This is the board I own and it's really nothing special. It's slow, it "carves" like so-so and the edge hold is so-so.
One thing I really dislike about it is that it's very unstable when flat basing, which is due to the V-rocker profile I suppose. I have to really push my knees out hard to make it even semi-stable.
There are a few areas where I do feel this board is good however. One is landing jumps because it's so forgiving. Another is presses and butters. And yet another one is that it's very good at handling very uneven terrain at slower speeds because it just "flows with it", so to speak.
Rossignol Trick Stick 2012 158 (waist 252 mm)
True Twin, AmpTek AutoTurn = CR profile, 20% camber & 80% rocker, soft flex (Rossi 4/10). Used with shitty Rossi bindings.
Only took it for a Blue lap. Felt surprisingly alike my Blunt despite the different camber profile and regular width. Nothing special at all, pretty lame board. Don't think I tried flat basing this one.
Nitro Team Gullwing 2013 159w (waist 266 mm)
Directional Twin, Gullwing = RC profile, mid flex (Nitro 7/10). Used with shitty Rossi bindings and better Raidens.
Boom! This board blew me away. It was crazy fast (from my perspective), felt incredibly much more stable than my Blunt, was so easy to just flat base and go, and also easy to press. On flats I could just crouch all the way down and trail my hand in the snow, and it would still be completely stable. At the same time it could be quite unforgiving and would punish me. Especially on toeside turns it would catch an edge if I wasn't on my game - which is a good thing...as long as it's not the end of the day and you're dead tired...
LibTech Skate Banana 2013 159w (waist 265 mm)
True Twin, C2 (C2 BTX?) = Rocker with a mellow camber outside, mid flex (LibTech 6/10). Used with Union Flite bindings.
Only tried this on two blue runs, but after hearing so much about it the experience was just one big meh. Felt more or less like my Blunt, only stiffer and a little faster. It was surprisingly hard to press. Conditions were pristine, fresh morning curduoy so I didn't really have a chance to evaluate Magnetraction; can't say I felt it at all. Meh.
Rossignol Taipan 2014 160 (waist 251 mm)
Directional Twin, AmpTek All Mountain = CR, 40% camber & 60% rocker, soft flex (Rossi 5/10). Used with shitty Rossi bindings.
After riding the Team GW this board disappointed me a little. It just felt a little boring to me; a little too soft, not much spring out of turns, not stable when flat basing… I mean it was ok, just...boring. One important thing to note is that I'm almost positive I got heel drag on this board during carving practice. I don't think I've experienced that with any other board I've tried.
Rossignol Angus 2013 162mw (waist 261 mm)
True Twin, AmpTek All Mountain = CR, 40% camber & 60% rocker, mid flex (Rossi 7/10). Used with Rome? (390 Boss or Targa?) bindings. I think.
The first thing that really caught my attention with this board was that it felt so...thick? I just flelt like there was so much board between my feet and the snow. Is this what people call "dampness"?
I was mentally prepared that this board would be too much for me to handle, but I have to say I liked it. I only took it for two blue runs and I know that isn't really its right element. I definitely noticed it was a bigger and stiffer board and I had to work it a little more, but I never felt out of control.
Something that surprised me a little was that it felt somewhat unstable when flatbasing, but the Advanced rider that I borrowed the board from said it was because the snow was very heavy and wet that day.
Now considering the following boards:
Slap me. Or just say what you think of all this.
I guess I overdid it this time.
You've only ridden 17 days total and you've been on all of those boards?
Good lord man, just pick something and roll with it. 17 days in, you really don't even have much of a feel on what kind of rider you'll eventually evolve into. I thought I was gonna be a park rider when I first got into this game. These days, I'm pretty much a dedicated freerider. I couldn't even tell you the last man made feature I hit.
Thanks for sharing! But using different bindings and/or angles when comparing boards makes me go "hmmm..."

I'm with Linvillegorge.
Just ride.
Stick with something all mountain for a while and have fun pushing it and yourself.
Heh. I count this as getting slapped. Buuut...
This wasn't meant as a review - I'm fully aware I'm not experienced enough for that, and even if I did, I would have put it in the Reviews section - but more as a way of clearing my thoughts and trying to describe what I felt with the different boards.
One specific question: The "thickness" that I felt with the big Angus, is this what's generally referred to as "dampness"? Just trying to learn and understand...
just go snowboarding.
if you can get your hands on a gullwing. pull it out of the sleeve mount some bindings on it, see if you can make a standard width work with your angles and boots. If not buy the wide version... A good shop should let you do this... afterall they are trying to make a sale, and a rather significant one at that... A wide board can be a little tougher to turn at first but you will get used to it, and you have size 11 boots so your feet are right on that cusp of needing a wide and not... Maybe you can get some boots with shrinktech to help you out if you think the wide is absolutely way to wide. I would go with the Nitro, because that is what you absolutely liked the most, i wouldnt wanna risk not getting the right one if i were you.
I guess I'll just...get myself a pair of better mittens...
I've been blogging for 3-4 years now. I don't really care if no-one reads them but me, coz they're really for my own use. But it might actually help other noobs to see what someone else goes through.

Feminists of my vintage have long scoffed at the notion that we are living in a post-feminist era. If only. The extraordinary response engendered by Prime Minister Julia Gillard's misogyny speech made it clear that sexual politics is alive and well and thoroughly unresolved. In the heat of that debate, sexism and misogyny were conflated, a grave error that diminishes both offences. Sexism is the daily routine of belittling that we have all endured: the inequality around the boardroom table, the grope at the Christmas party, being talked over or through.
Misogyny is a deep loathing, it is visceral and often expressed in gynaecological terms. Exhibit A: Peter Slipper's mussels-angst. Exhibit B: Sam Newman's denigration of Caroline Wilson. Exhibit C: Matthew Johns' attitude to group rape. The distinctions are important.
On Sunday, Peta Credlin, the Opposition Leader's chief of staff, revealed that she had been juggling work with the gruelling and discouraging process of IVF treatment. She was immediately criticised for exposing herself to help ''her'' man and attacked for an apparently tactical revelation. It must have been a difficult decision to make this personal matter public. But context is everything. In this instance Credlin's revelation was an interview for the next issue of Marie Claire of 10 women under 45 who are leaders in their field. The fact that women are still rare in senior roles in politics and that Abbott has a female chief of staff, is still a story in itself. Credlin's professional life and private hopes were revealed for a woman's magazine, they were not a calculated effort to humanise Abbott. Indeed, it would be deeply sexist to suggest that a strong and competent professional would insouciantly ''out'' herself to ''stand by her man''.
Storing one's IVF drugs in the boss' private office suggests a relationship that is mutually respectful and supportive. Obviously Credlin's task is to get her bloke into the Lodge. But the ability to manage the arduous process of IVF and the obligations of the role also suggest a generosity of spirit between colleagues.
As Abbott's publisher I have a particular relationship with the author and his chief of staff. My own observation of that dynamic is that the relationship is robust and honest. I have been mesmerised by Credlin instructing Abbott on the value of modernist art, arguing with his literary judgments and nuancing his public relations. Abbott for his part appears to listen, to take her counsel.
Her decision to discuss the business of trying to conceive later in life must have been a difficult one. But all credit to her for describing a reality that now confronts many professional women. Credlin's ''coming out'' on the fertility challenge should be welcomed as genuine, rather than as yet another political stratagem in an election year. Which leads us back to Abbott and his ''woman problem''.
I write about Abbott across a yawning ideological chasm. After the publication of Battlelines, we discussed a second book. To whet his appetite I canvassed the views of the women in our office and forwarded to him a comprehensive list of our reasons for a unanimous intention not to vote Liberal. That list included: workplace relations, asylum seekers, gay marriage, unionism, republicanism, education, indigenous policy and the independence of the judiciary. This year these important policy differences between the parties will come under renewed scrutiny.
Abbott certainly needs to find a way to defuse the perception that he has a problem with women. Is it that modern women fear his faith as an adherent of a church whose views on women are oppressive and retrograde? We assume his private morality and faith will influence his political judgments - why? Is that any more a given than the influence exercised by the avowed atheism of our PM?
Abbott has said repeatedly that he wants to ensure that abortions are ''safe, legal and rare''. That seems spot on to me, as does his advocacy of more effective education and contraception. Does the perception of a ''woman problem'' derive from an anxiety that fitness fanatics are repressing primitive instincts, that Abbott's Speedos partially clothe a Neanderthal, a brutish cave man? Surely not.
In 2013 Abbott will be compelled to show us who he is, or so goes the script. It is odd because so much is already on the public record: the competitor boy, the sparring youth, the political acolyte, the scholar student, the aspiring priest, the drama of the reclaimed ''son'', the media-shy commitment to indigenous youth. None of this is unfamiliar territory. And yet Abbott is still apparently an enigma, a work in progress, a rough draft of a would-be prime minister.
In my limited exposure to Abbott he is unfailingly considered and courteous. One of his daughters described him as a ''gay, lame, churchy loser''. Daughters do that to their fathers, they mock them to keep them grounded. It would be interesting to know how the Prime Minister's intimates keep her grounded. The drawing of baths, the knitting and the exclusion from Tim's shed are equally lame gestures to ''humanise'' Gillard for a curious public. For now the Prime Minister is as much a conundrum as her opposite. An unmarried atheist who nevertheless professes to value Bible stories, has chosen not to have children, is opposed to gay marriage, who was once a member of the Socialist Left? Both the PM and the Leader of the Opposition have paradoxically shown themselves too little and too much. My hope for 2013 is that this election is fought on the turf of competing policies and visions for Australia rather than contesting personality flaws.

Credlin's ''coming out'' on the fertility challenge should be welcomed as genuine, rather than as yet another political stratagem in an election year.

Rome is burning but it seems the well-heeled men at Mt Smart are impervious to the flames licking at their nether regions. The issue of a coach for the Warriors for 2013 and beyond appears to have stumped those who have been a pretty capable management machine over the past four or five years.
If, as my tea leaves tell me, Matthew Elliott and David Kidwell are favourites for the job, the question must be asked why the Auckland club would settle for effectively a change of personnel with Penrith?
Why not the undisputed top coach in the NRL? I'm referring to Craig Bellamy, who looks so far ahead of the others (except perhaps Des Hasler). With Owen Glenn and Eric Watson bringing new-found wealth to the club, why not indeed?
Bellyache Bellamy stands out as the No1 target. Certainly there are road blocks which would have to be overcome but if the will is there, nothing is impossible.
Bellamy's name has been bandied about as a contender but my view is that's not close enough. Every effort and available dollar should be earmarked to secure the man who is clearly at the top of his game.
Bellamy is a winner and winners can usually name their price. Some in this situation use a big new offer to take to their current employer for a new deal. Bellamy is playing it pretty coy but, reading between the lines, it seemed he did not totally discount a change in club and country. The creative businessmen should be put to work.
There would be merit in the New Zealand Rugby League grabbing Bellamy for the Kiwi coaching role as well. Why not? Many will say it's impossible but is anyone trying? Bellamy is dominating the NRL and it seems only vast sums of money may lever him out of his beloved Melbourne Storm. If it's only money, who is better positioned than the Warriors with the big wallets now backing them?
What would a premiership in 2013 mean to the Auckland-based club? Imagine it - full stadiums every fortnight and a thrilling ride through the NRL big time. Add the Kiwi World Cup dream and rugby league would be on a huge high.
It seems to me in trying to decipher the code of Bellamy-speak, it may be his loyalty to players (think the Big Three) which will ultimately keep him at the Storm. One can imagine that contracts for these three are indelibly linked to an assurance that he will stay at the helm of Melbourne at least for the next two years.
But anything is possible and Warriors fans deserve something better than the mediocre line-up of potential candidates at present.

Last time I did one of their polls I got on 3 different mailing lists that constantly spam.
just took this poll.

the results shocked me.
after you take the poll it wants an email address to confirm. confirm in your email and forwards to the results page

This poll includes a glaring error. The last question asks, "Do you agree that the Second Amendment gives citizens the right to own and bear guns without infringement?"
No, I do not. It doesn't "give" anything. to some people that might seem nit-picking, but consider this: if we agree that the government gave us our rights, logic dictates that the government can also take them away.
The Constitution gives us rights and is supposed to limit government.
The Constitution doesn't give or grant a single right to you. The Constitution recognizes naturally occurring rights and prevents the government from violating those rights.
The Constitution only grants rights to the government. Any right that is granted can be taken away. That was the intent of the founding fathers.
The most damning evidence is the truth.

Following the not guilty verdict of a Woodland woman in a fatal hit-and-run, several local readers argued whether justice had been served.
Prosecutors alleged that 28-year-old Kristal Sutton ran over 58-year-Alisa Horner on the night of June 30, drove away and later "hid in her home" because she didn't want her car to be impounded.
But jurors agreed with Public Defender Tracie Olson that Sutton fled out of fear for her life and was contacted so quickly by police she never had the opportunity to turn herself in.
Horner later died from her injuries. Jurors heard opening arguments on Wednesday. On Thursday, jurors got the case around 10:30 a.m. and came back with a decision around 3 p.m.
When the story was posted of The Daily Democrat's Facebook page Friday, it quickly gathered comments from readers, most disagreeing with the verdict, some indicating it has to do with race. Sutton is a white woman.
Many comments said that Sutton got away with "murder," although the Yolo County District Attorney's Office only charged the Woodland woman with felony hit-and-run.
"How do you get off completely from something like that?" commented Julia Veliz. "She full on ran her over, she didn't just hit her."
Others said it was "an unfortunate event all around" but understood how the jury determined its verdict.
"While I don't agree with the verdict, it appears to be the correct decision. Unfortunately someone lost their life," said Adrian Arias Gonzalez on Facebook. "Given the victim's past offenses, there was no way to show the victim in a victimless light. The fact she instigated the situation is key here."
During the trial, Olson said her client had reason to be afraid. After getting a soda at the 7-Eleven, at 1229 E. Main St., the diminutive Sutton was returning to her car when she was approached by a much larger - and heavily intoxicated - Horner, who said, "Excuse me, you need to come with me," according to Olson.
Horner was hanging on to Sutton's car door, Olson said, and Sutton thought she intended to drag her to a group of people gathered by the nearby Redbox machine.
Sutton was afraid, her lawyer said, and even after she managed to get into her car and shut the door, Horner "then puts her head into the car window."
They struggled, and Sutton started her car and began to drive off, but Horner followed beside her, Olson said. Suddenly, "Ms. Horner gets in front of her car, and just like that, she gets hit."
Sutton then got out to see what happened. But bystanders began to gather around her, and "the crowd from the Redbox are coming forward. ... So, scared for her life, she gets in her car" and drives to her apartment, located nearby on Alice Street.
Still panicked, Sutton "calls the father of her children," Olson said. By the time he arrived, police were getting there too. The whole thing took 12 minutes.
"So yes, you have to report (an accident) without unnecessary delay," Olson said. "That's not what happened here."
Although there was outrage directed at Sutton, Woodland police testified that Horner was well known to them with a long history of alcohol-related offenses, including public intoxication.
Sutton had faced up to four years in prison had she been convicted of unlawfully leaving the scene.

UTSA program certifies aspiring principals
By Ashley Harris
Public Affairs Specialist
(Feb. 5, 2007)--The UTSA College of Education and Human Development recently began the first class of the Texas High School Project's Principal Certification Program. The yearlong certification program includes education courses for high school principal certification, business and communication courses, and a paid internship at one of UTSA's partner high schools.
Designed to help school administrators identify, invest and start succession planning for future high school leaders, the program is administered through the Communities Foundation of Texas and funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Wallace Foundation and the University of Texas System.

UTSA is in partnership with East Central, Harlandale, Judson, San Antonio and Southside ISDs during the inaugural phase with plans to collaborate with other districts in the near future. The administrators of the program are Professor Bruce Barnett and Associate Professor Alan Shoho of the UTSA College of Education and Human Development.
For the inaugural 2006-2007 class, there are six program participants. UTSA hopes to increase this number to 10-15 within two years. Principals in each participating school district are encouraged to recommend their best teachers for the program.
As the role of the school administrator changes, principals must be skilled educators as well as effective communicators and motivators. The UTSA certification program is unique because it reaches across three disciplines: business, education and communication. Additionally, a one-year, non-teaching, full-time administrative internship provides participants with the opportunity to perform the responsibilities of an assistant principal.
"We're proud to partner with UTSA and really excited that UTSA is at the cutting edge of preparing the next generation of school leaders," said John Fitzpatrick, executive director of the Texas High School Project. The project's goal is to help all Texas high school graduates be ready for college and career success as contributing members of their communities.
To qualify for the program, teachers must have a master's degree, a Texas teacher's certificate, three years of teaching experience and be committed to being a high school administrator. Additionally, teachers applying for the program must be employed by a participating school district.
Applicants enter a three-stage selection process that includes review of GPA and GRE scores, an intensive assessment of the student and their current principals, and concludes with an interview by a review panel consisting of Barnett, Shoho and the school district administrators.
Communities Foundation of Texas (CFT), a public charity founded in 1953, works closely with donors and offers a unique program of responsible investment, optimal tax benefits and effective grant making. As the largest community foundation in Texas, CFT manages more than 800 component funds with combined assets of more than $700 million and has distributed more than $750 million in charitable grants since its inception.

Backus resident needs new lungs
For five years of her life, Dawn McAllister Lindgron has been a prisoner. She is shackled in her own home by a clear plastic tube and boxed in by the air outside her windows and doors.
"Alphas can't do cold weather, nor can we do hot and humid weather, so that leaves me as of last year with the summer we had with a very narrow time to do anything," she said. "You feel like you are a recluse by the time you are at the place where I am now."
Dawn has Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (A1AD). Her liver does not produce the Alpha-1 Antitrypsin (A1AT) enzyme properly. As a result, when she gets sick, her immune system first destroys the infection, then it destroys her lungs.
Dawn was diagnosed after collapsing while working with the Backus Cornfest committee. This was five years ago, but Dawn has had the disease all her life. Shortly after being diagnosed on Memorial Day 2008, her doctors gave her a prognosis of three to five years to live. Infusions of A1AT, exercise, oxygen tanks and probiotics helped Dawn to beat that prediction, but they are only buying time. Dawn needs new lungs.
Dawn's sister, Rae Borst, is her best friend. When Dawn was diagnosed they became closer than ever. Rae gives Dawn infusions as well as anything else she needs, but when Dawn's doctors suggested that she should get a double lung transplant, Rae assumed responsibility for making sure Dawn got the chance.
"Parts of it are really, really hard for me. My mind does not accept that I'm the oldest and my younger sister could die before me. My heart does not accept it," Rae said. "We are going to do everything possible we can do to cure this. It doesn't mean that I don't realize it or that I don't accept what's happening. It's just that I'm not going to give up hope."
Organ donations are finite. To qualify for one you must meet strict requirements concerning health, lifestyle and will power. Being tested for all these things, in addition to surgery for such a transplant, is very expensive. More expensive than anything Dawn could afford, so Rae started a benefit.
On Saturday, March 9, at Emmanuel Lutheran Church of Backus there will be a spaghetti dinner and silent auction benefit to raise funds for Dawn's testing. The benefit is also a chance for Dawn to increase awareness for A1AD.
"Early detection is the best thing. For my grandkids, now we know," Dawn said. "A simple test can make all the difference. It's awareness, and I want people to be aware."
A1AD is genetic, and most common among people with Scandanavian bloodlines. Though it is often misdiagnosed, testing for the disease is easy, requiring only two drops of blood.
A1AD can cause scar tissue in the lungs and cirrhosis of the liver. It is sometimes misdiagnosed as allergies, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and emphysema. The disease is believed to be under diagnosed. According to the Alpha-1 Association, approximately 100,000 people in the United States are estimated to have A1AD, though they are not all diagnosed with it.
Because A1AD is genetic, it is sometimes possible to diagnose the disease using a family history. If your family has a history of lung infections, pneumonia, bronchitis or even cirrhosis, then it is advisable that you talk to your doctor about A1AD. This is especially true if these symptoms are found in family members who do not smoke or drink, as past A1AD patients have sometimes been mistaken for closet drinkers.
A1AD does not always show symptoms, as there are many variants of the disease. Some of them increase a person's risk for serious lung or liver disease, some only increase the risk of spreading A1AD to future generations, but show no symptoms. Members of this second group are called carriers.
Dawn and Rae both have A1AD. Their sister, Janice, and younger brother, Brian, are carriers, while their other brother, Kelly, does not have the disease at all. Dawn's son, Adam Ericson, is also a carrier.
For more information about A1AD, visit alpha-1.org. Those without A1AD can also lend a hand by donating blood or registering as an organ donor and discussing it with their family members.

che trasforma Venezia in un mondo magico
On the occasion of Richard Wagner's bicentenary birth, an unprecedented exhibition shows the influence of "Wagnerism" on the visual arts in Italy between the end of the 19th century and the early decades of the 20th.
Wagnerism was a true cultural style that, in its diverse expressions (literary, musical and painting) enjoyed widespread and profound diffusion. In the field of visual arts it was one of the most typical manifestations of the aesthetic style, between late Naturalism, Symbolism and Art Nouveau.
Cornerstone of the path is the Wagnerian cycle by Mario Fortuny, compared with the works of other Italian artists, who were inspired by the characters and scenes in Wagner's operas.
To round off the exhibition and document the influence of Wagner's work on contemporary artists, there is an interesting selection of visual works by important artists such as Antoni Tapies, Bill Viola and Anselm Kiefer.
The exhibition deals with in the arts' topics, stressing the mutual influences between music, theater and visual arts – modern and contemporary – as well as it offers a specific analysis of the relationship between Wagner and Fortuny.
Open until April 8th, 2013 at Palazzo Fortuny. Every day from 10am to 6pm (ticket office 10am – 5pm). Closed on Tuesdays.

A man whose body was found in Gisborne yesterday may have gone to the Rhythm and Vines music festival before he went missing almost a month ago.
The body is believed to be that of Amandeep Singh, 22, and was found in scrub on a section of Kaiti Beach Rd by people walking in the area last night.
The discovery came hours after police upgraded their missing person case to a homicide inquiry.
Mr Singh, an Indian national, was last seen leaving his Gladstone Rd home in Gisborne at 11pm on December 29. His car was found abandoned in Dalton St in the suburb of Kaiti about 11am the next day.
Detective Sergeant Kevin Ford said police were still trying to establish his exact movements between then.
"He'd told friends he was going to go to Rhythm and Vines but we don't know whether he actually went there or not."
Mr Ford said police had not been able to establish whether Mr Singh had a ticket to the festival but were making progress on establishing his movements.
"We've got a large amount of information and people to see in respect to that."
A Rhythm and Vines spokeswoman confirmed police had asked for help, but would not comment further.
A flatmate and friend of Mr Singh, Vivek Punj, said Mr Singh had told him he was going to the festival and would be out late.
Mr Punj said they thought Mr Singh had decided to spend longer at the festival, so were not alarmed when he did not return home the next morning.
"But we became really worried when he had not come home after a couple of days, so I reported his disappearance to police," Mr Punj said.
"It is very sad what has happened. Amandeep was a good person, a hard worker, with a great sense of humour. He was always funning around. He was quite happy with his life."
Mr Singh's parents and other relations were applying for visas to come to New Zealand.
"Amandeep's disappearance came as a big shock to his family, and to us - his friends and workmates in Gisborne."
Mr Ford said Mr Singh's family had been advised of the situation.
Police and ESR scientists were today conducting an examination of the area where the body was found. That was likely to take a couple of days.
Yesterday they examined Mr Singh's Mazda Lantis car, which was found in an empty section nearby.
Mr Ford said it was too soon to say how Mr Singh might have died.
A post mortem examination was not likely to be carried out until Sunday or Monday.
"We're hoping we'll get an indication, following that, confirming his identity and cause of death."
Police are continuing to appeal for information about Mr Singh's movements

Film & Discussion: A Summer of Big Challeges & Intense Struggle
We will discuss the article, "A Summer of Big Challenges and Intense Struggle," from Revolution newspaper #307, 6/16/13. As spring turns to summer, the situation in the world and in this country, is very intense.
There is potential for eruptions "in the routine" of one kind or another. The actual events in the world, the dynamics driving forward and giving rise to these events, and the potential within these events to develop in all kinds of different directions, including ones favorable to revolution - is the reality.
This is the situation that the movement for revolution confronts.

Nisswa City Council agrees to continue process for public restroom/chamber office building
The Nisswa City Council is proceeding with final design plans for a combined public restroom/chamber of commerce office building downtown.
Though the proposed building has doubled in estimated cost from what the council originally planned to spend just for public restrooms — to a possible $527,000 — the city would collect $800 to $900 per month from a 20-year lease with the chamber to pay for that part of the building.
The council authorized Widseth Smith Nolting to finalize the building design at a Feb. 4 special meeting, according to meeting minutes. Council member Jan Pierce was absent.
Mayor Brian Lehman said if bids came in too high the council wouldn't have to proceed with the project.
The council originally set out to build a new public restroom facility at the site of the current building on Main Street with plans to finance an estimated $250,000-$260,000 project, as well as improvements at Nisswa City Park and the community center, with a 10- or 15-year, $500,000 abatement bond.
The chamber then asked the council to include office space in the building so the chamber could move back downtown from Nisswa Square. In December, the council said adding a chamber office could increase the bond amount to $700,000.
The council is in the process of fine-tuning the amount and what the bond would pay for, and a public hearing would be held before the city issued any abatement bond that would lock in projects.
The city has budgeted $57,000 toward a bond payment in 2013, and plans to budget yearly to pay the abatement bond.
The proposed 2,514-square-foot public restroom/chamber building would include public restrooms, family restroom, mechanical room, atrium, welcome center, chamber offices and conference room.
If all options were included — such as a metal roof, ceramic tile floor in the atrium and restrooms, and built-ins, gas fireplace and vertical blinds in the chamber portion — the estimated cost is $527,000, including 10 percent contingency funds.
Estimated cost without those options but with architectural contingencies is $446,000.
Shawn Hansen, chamber executive director, told the council that member donations would help pay for some items, such as the built-ins, landscaping and benches.
Mayor Brian Lehman said the chamber would have to pay for anything over the cost of the restrooms through the lease agreement.
A bond payment would be an estimated $64,000 per year, but would be interest only in 2013.
The council debated the need for the extra items. Council members agreed to proceed with the extra amenities, though a stub for the fireplace, to get real costs. And they stipulated a chamber lease agreement would include language for maintenance and utilities, and the chamber would be responsible for costs associated with its portion of the building.

UK Fight Scene Taking Off in 2013
- Written by Rian Scalia
With a big year ahead in kickboxing and Muay Thai, the UK's fight scene continues to grow, as the events get bigger and the fighters increase in quantity and quality. Recently I talked with Steven Wright and England's own Vinny Shoreman about the current fight scene in England in particular. You can listen to our discussion here, where we highlight many of the UK's talented fighters and the increasing number of quality events.
The UK has always been very solid when it comes to quality events and fighters. However, from a worldwide perspective, it never seemed to get the recognition that it deserved. Things are changing now, with many UK fighters set to make a splash internationally, and many already having done so.
Attention is being shifted their way. GLORY are holding a huge show in London. Enfusion is doing four shows in London. SuperKombat is holding tryouts there. That's not even mentioning the other domestic promotions that are coming up like Fight Sport Grand Prix Series, Super Fight Series on the kickboxing side of things, and the always consistent Muay Thai scene.
The fighters themselves are getting their big opportunities to showcase themselves as well. Jordan Watson and Tim Thomas have already been in GLORY and will be again, while Liam Harrison, Reece McCallister and Steve Wakeling are set to join them. Enfusion is looking to make a step up in 2013 and their cards are loaded with UK talent to watch out for. Muay Thai in America featured a number of fighters with big futures. Fighters from the UK are getting more and more opportunities around the globe and I predict in the coming year that they're going to keep making the best of those opportunities, and establish themselves and the UK as a country as a force to be reckoned with.
Some fighters to watch out for:
Andrew Tate
Tate is set for a big year, with one fight in February and two in March already. He's already established himself as one of the top 85kg fighters with his huge power and unorthodox full contact style. He really opened the door and showed that more full contact fighters can succeed in K-1 style rules, especially at 85kg where the division is still yet to be sorted out.
Salah Khalifa
Still very young and with fighting prowess beyond his years that seems like it'll get even better, Salah is also starting off 2013 with some big fights. First off he's in Super Fight Series' 70kg tournament in K-1 rules on February 16 and then is on Enfusion on March 30. Here's a fighter that I think we'll be seeing for a long time, whether it be in K-1 rules or Muay Thai.
Chad Sugden
Just 18 years old, Sugden has already made the transition from full contact to K-1 rules and had success. He will also fight in the same 70kg Super Fight Series tournament as Salah and after that will be on the undercard of the huge GLORY 5 London show in March. Things are looking on the up and up for him.

This week, Randy Mason connects the dots between Kansas City and the famous canal which celebrates its centennial in 2014. He looks at how Linda Hall Library, the Kansas City Public Library and the Truman Library are celebrating the history of one of the largest and most challenging feats of engineering ever undertaken. Immediately following this special episode of The Local Show, the PBS program American Experience presents Panama Canal, which examines the trials and tribulations of connecting the world's two largest oceans.
We visit the Linda Hall Library, the Truman Library and Museum, and are visited by the Kansas City Library's Crosby Kemper III. Some of those institutions already have plans underway for celebrating the centennial this year—most notably the Linda Hall Library at 51st and Cherry. They specialize in science and technology research and in a few months they'll be opening an exhibit called The Land Divided, The World United.
It's based around the A.B. Nichols collection, which they acquired some years back when the Engineering Society Library in New York City was closing its doors.

If you call or email to get on the list let Eric know you saw the little finished gun here on Gunco, Hopefully he will see there is a big intrest in kits and release a few more , like the m2 .
Here are a few pics of my little 1919a4 in 22lr built from one of the kits sold by lakeside machine a few weeks ago , very fun build , even more fun to shoot. Lakeside is getting a batch of 1917 sets ready over the next few weeks and I believe he is making a list of folks interested in the 1919 sets also.
51 hours to build
If you call or email to get on the list let Eric know you saw the little finished gun here on Gunco, Hopefully he will see there is a big intrest in kits and release a few more , like the m2 .
Before I started the build I drew the entire gun in solidworks 3d modeling software, here are a few 3d views and cutaways
Looks damn cool and cheap to shoot.
How much did it cost?
WHat did you use for belts?
How much machining did it take you?
Cost including the tripod, all the gun parts and the T+E mechanism was $1326 , less than a full size 1919. Came with one cloth belt, they have clothe belts as well as links avail .
The work required wasnt bad , the right plate comes as just a laser cut blank as the finished profile , you have to machine a few slots, the charging handle slot and drill a few holes to finish the plate, the bbl has to chambered . the only other work other than the hand fitting and finish is to drill the 7/16 hole in the trunion for the bbl and a 1/16" hole for the lower feed pawl. There is a little fitting of the grip casting/back plate . All the operations could be easily done on one of the little $450 bench top mills from harbour freight .
here is a before and after pick of the right plate which would be considered the receiver
the left plate is done and can be layed over the right side blank and a couple of transfer punches used to layout all the holes , which can be drilled on a std drill press here is a pic of both plates ready to install
forgot to mention the bolt and top covers which are the key to this system are completly finished and ready to use other than filing a little radius on the bolt and a little polishing and parkerizing
That thing rocks.
I just had one of those "gotta have" moments.
Very nice! I want to see the mini crankfire!!!
" Save a tree...........Eat A Beaver!"
I seldom talk to liberals.............................. But when I do, I order fries............
that little things cool. I am shocked to read that you didn't build it from scratch like all the other cool stuff you get into. But I know that you have a day job to....

Starting Position: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes pointed forward or slightly outward. Take a light bar and place it behind your head, grasping one end with one hand above your head and the other end with your opposite hand in the small of your back so that your hand touches your low back. Stand up straight so the bar is in contact with 3 points: the back of your head, the point between your shoulder blades and right above your tailbone.
Downward Phase: Gently exhale. Shift your weight onto your heels, push your hips back toward the wall behind you and hinge forward at the hips. Bend forward at the hips until your torso is midway between vertical and parallel to the floor. Allow only slight bending at the knees throughout this movement. The bar must remain in contact with the 3 points on your at all times to prevent arching.
Upward Phase: Gently inhale. Contract your glutes. Push your hips forward and upward, slowly returning to upright. The bar must remain in contact with the 3 points throughout this phase.
Technique is very important in this lift. This exercise teaches the correct technique for performing a squat and is strongly encouraged as a pre-requisite to learning how to squat correctly.

About a month ago, my son Kameron got sick. Then he got sicker. He doesn't get sick often, but when he does it, he does it well. When I couldn't get his 105 temp to break, I took him to the doctor and a nose swab confirmed my fears: Influenza B. At the same time I had my other son, Keeghan, tested who was also sick and he had the same fate. *sigh* So we headed home and I put them to bed and loaded them up on fluids and tried to keep them away from the girls... and tried to keep them from breathing on ME!
That was the first time that I heard the word Oscillococcinum. One of my friends told me to start taking it at the first symptom. My mom brought me a box, I gave it to the boys right away, and the next day when I got a sore throat, I emptied a tube in my mouth. We all continued to take it over the next several days. I'm not sure that it did much good for Kameron since he had already been sick so long, but Keeghan fought off the flu rather quickly and I didn't. get. sick. A-mazing. I am the mom who always gets sick when my kids get sick, despite constant hand-washing and lots of Lysol! I was so excited!
Then, a week or so later, the people from the Oscillococcinum company sent me an email out of the blue and asked if I'd like to review their product and do a giveaway. I said, "Oh my goodness, YES! I will sing your praises from the rooftops!" LOL So they sent me a free box of Oscillococcinum for next time I need it... which hopefully there won't be a next time any time soon, but it's good until 2014, so I think I'm covered! ;)
So, here's all the technical
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), flu activity in the United States has picked up over the last few weeks – 44 states are currently reporting widespread, regional or local flu activity. And as the peak of flu season fast approaches, many of our own households have at least one member suffering from this illness. So while we hope you and your family stay healthy this winter, be prepared to nip those nasty flu-like symptoms in the bud with Oscillococcinum. Oscillococcinum ("Oscillo" for short) works best when taken at the first sign of flu-like symptoms such as fatigue, body aches, chills and fever. It has been shown in clinical studies to help reduce both the duration and the severity of flu-like symptoms. Oscillo's sweet-tasting, melt-away pellets are safe for everyone two years of age and older, and no water, chewing or swallowing is required. Oscillo works safely and naturally without causing side effects, including drowsiness. There's also no risk of overdose and no interactions with other medications. More information can be found by visiting www.oscillo.com or by viewing our brand new Oscillo multi-media player (http://bit.ly/gVwqpi), featuring videos, educational links, coupons and more!So, what's up for grabs here? One box of Oscillococcinum to one lucky winner!!
What do you have to do to win? Tell me you want to win! That's it! Whether you've tried Oscillo before or not, you are eligible! You just have to want it! :) And of course, if you post this giveaway on your blog or Facebook and leave me a separate comment telling me you did so, you'll get a second chance to win! :) I will use random.org to choose a winner on Friday, March 4, 2011.
Good luck and best wishes for a healthy flu season for you and your loved ones!

We were at Peter's appartment this June and we've had an absolute blast! The location was the best, so close to the castle and the Chainbridge, with a very beautiful view at the Parliament. If you can manage the stairs, we'd absolutely recommend this appartment!! You'll have an amazing time at a great location in Budapest.
Second stay with Peter but different appartement this time. But what should I say? Perfect again! Thanks to Peters Mother and Gergö too! If you are looking for a nice place in Buda you can choose Peter no matter which appartement. Looking forward for the next year date!
The apartment is located close to the city centre. The views from the apartment are really beautiful.Peter
The apartment is located very close to the city centre and everything is within walking distance. The apartment is very well equipped, but unfortunately the heating didn't work and even though Peter came by and tried to fix it, it still didn't work out, but besides that, everything worked out well. Peter is a very nice host.
Perfect located, good equiped and clean place. Peter, his mother and his friend Gergo are very kind and answer every question quick and clear. I hope that I will come back to Peter`s place some time.
Péter's apartment has one of the best locations someone can hope for when visiting Budapest. One minute away from the Chain Bridge by foot but in a quiet area in Buda with very nice cafes and restaurants in the neighbourhood. Furthermore, the views of the river and some monuments like the magnificent Parliament and the Gresham Palace from the windows of the apartment are outstanding.
Regarding the apartment itself, it belongs in a beautiful building with high ceilings (3,5m). The livingroom is great, as well as the bedroom, both with an awesome light; while the kitchen and bathroom are a bit small. If I were to point a problem out, I would say the apartment wasn't very clean (spiderwebs high in the corners of the ceiling) and the sofa a bit dusty.
The owner, Péter, is very kind and welcoming and very available when needed; he made it really easy when we decided to extend our stay. We had a problem regarding the wifi (the router didn't work) and Péter solved it in less than 24h, enabling us to enjoy a fast internet connection for the rest of our stay.
Hello Peter,
We were very satisfied with our stay in your appartment.
The apartment is functional and is located near the center Budapest offering a beautiful view on the parliament.
You and your mum were so very kind - easy and human contact.
Thank you for your kind welcome and human contact.
Top Lage, Schlüsselübergabe ohne Probleme.
Wir waren mit 3 Personen im Urlaub. Die Lage ist unschlagbar 5min Fußweg zur Donau. Auch relativ ruhig gelegen. Die Wohnung war absolut ok (Preis/Leistung) Kleine Mängel gab es natürlich auch die aber sicher zu beheben sind. Die Betten nicht optimal d.h. Aufbettung Klappcouch wo man nicht gut schlafen kann. Die Wohnung ist für 5 Personen gedacht!! Was meiner Meinung nach NICHT geht!!
Das Bad ist sehr klein und die Küche könnte besser ausgestattet sein. (z. b. Kaffeemaschine)
Fazit: Würde die Wohnung jederzeit weiterempfehlen. Da die (Mängel) sicher kurzfristig behoben werden können. Auf Grund des Gesamtpakets gibt es von uns 4****
Een verrassend groot appartement dat er prima verzorgd uitziet. We hebben er 3 nachten doorgebracht met 3 personen en dat hadden we net zo goed met z'n 5-en kunnen doen. Het appartement heeft mooie hoge plafonds, een ouderwetse parket vloer (die wel een beetje kraakt) en mooie grote luiken voor de ramen. Je hebt er inderdaad een prachtig uitzicht over de stad. Er is een 1-persoonsbed, een 2-persoonsbed en een 2-persoons slaapbank. Prima sanitair en ook de ligging is mooi aan de voet van de Matthiaskerk (waar Sisi werd gekroond tot koningin van Hongarije). Met 5 minuten lopen staat je op de kettingbrug en steek je de Donau over naar Pest.
We hebben vooraf veel handige informatie ontvangen van onze host. Allemaal prima geregeld. Enige aandachtspunt bij dit appartement is dat het op 3 hoog ligt en er geen lift is.

Dave Brown was probably the BIGGEST GIANTS DRAFT BUST I can remember. Dayne on the other hand was a Bust but IMOVHO he was NEVER UTILIZED in the correct way. Yes Ron Dayne was a BIG MAN and he looked like the type of running back that could bulldoze his way to open day light, but to the contrary he wasn't that type of Back. Fassel wanted Dayne to get the tough yards the 3rd and 1 first down against a Goal Line Defense the 1/2 yard Touchdown and every defense knew he was getting the ball. Yes Dayne looked like he could do that but he didn't have the Strength to do that. He was a Big Man with not so big strength. If you really look at his college film he was a finesse runner in a Jerome Bettis body. For his size he was FAST and he had great reflexes. In normal Running Back situations you know when there is a hole to run through, he would hit the hole raise his head and make 1 to 2 guys miss and he woud be gone. He wasn't and never could be the BRUISING BACK The Giants and Fasell thought he could be. After leaving The Giants and having his body beat to **** and basically was done because he took the hits (ALOT OF THEM) he still managed to have a pretty descent (NOT GREAT DESCENT) couple of years in Oakland
Si no rice Moss... Run Dowyn.... Clint Splinter.... Dave Brownie...

I remember being pretty upset about Ron dayne and Danny kannell
No one remembers who came in second.

Wintertime Wonder in Colorado
Courtyard by Marriott Boulder Louisville • Louisville, CO
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for Up to Four People, Fridays or Saturdays
- Two Adult Passes to WinterSkate with Skate Rentals
- $10 Credit to Bittersweet Café & Confections
- Holiday Cookies Upon Arrival
- Combine Vouchers to Stay for Up to Two Nights
Fresh powder, twinkling lights, and frosty windows. Winter transforms Colorado into the wonderland of postcards. Make the most of the Rocky Mountains' loveliest season with this Escape to the Courtyard by Marriott Boulder Louisville.
You'll start feeling festive during an overnight stay for up to four people, Fridays or Saturdays, including holiday cookies upon arrival, a $10 credit to Bittersweet Café & Confections, and two adult passes to WinterSkate in downtown Louisville with skate rentals ($85).
Located in Louisville—named the overall best place to live in the U.S. by CNN's Money Magazine—the hotel welcomes you with a renovated lobby and holiday cookies. Settle back in your comfortably appointed room and enjoy the new flat-screen television, complimentary Wi-Fi, and spa-quality bath products. The hotel also offers a fitness center, an indoor pool, and a whirlpool.
"Boulder has over 40,000 acres of open space within its city limits, 56 parks, and 200 miles of trails," says Frommer's. "On any given day, seemingly three-quarters of the population is outside making great use of this land, generally from the vantage point of a bicycle seat, the preferred mode of transport—there are about 100,000 bicycles in Boulder, one for each of the city's 100,000 residents."
Skate the day away with two adult passes to WinterSkate, an old-fashioned ice rink at the Steinbaugh Pavilion in Historic Downtown Louisville. Lace up your rental skates, take your sweetheart by the hand, and take a turn around the ice as holiday music plays. Or, purchase tickets to a live performance at The Colorado Chautauqua National Historic Landmark, the oldest continually operating Chautauqua auditorium west of the Mississippi.
When you get chilly and need something to warm up your belly, check out Bittersweet Café & Confections on Main Street. Here, you can use your $10 credit to sip on a fresh-pressed cup of coffee and nibble on crumbly pastries. The café also serves savory breakfast and lunch dishes.
Who needs a postcard when you can step outside and snap an even prettier photo? It's the most wonderful time of the year in the Colorado mountains.
"I stayed here while visiting Rocky Mountain National Park in June. The room was very comfortable, clean, and quiet. The pool and hot tub area was nice."-- TripAdvisor

Dakota Homelands topic of Jan. 15 presentation in Crosby
An Unlimited Learning presentation from 1-3 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 15, at Heartwood Senior Living in Crosby will focus on the Dakota Homelands, particularly Mnisota Makoce.
Dakota people have lived in what is now Minnesota for thousands of years. The Dakota War of 1862 creates much interest; however, this topic is often presented without a context and without understanding of the resulting impacts of the war.
This presentation will situate 1862 within a broader context including the connection Dakota people have to this place and the impacts that together tell a more complex story of Minnesota.
Presentation will be by Lyekiyapiwin Darlene St. Clair, visiting professor from the University of Minnesota American Indian Studies.
Unlimited Learning members will be admitted for free; the public is welcome for $5. The Unlimited Learning Absent Narrative Program is made possible, in part, by funding from the Minnesota Humanities Center, St. Paul.

Commando Kids!
Active (and hyperactive!) younger visitors can have a go at our assault course, or try their hand at broomstick rifle drill – watch out for the shouting Sergeant! Also, have a go on our foam-rocket firing bazooka combat range, plus see and look inside a real armoured vehicle!

For high drama, watch one of our dramatic interpretations, as our resident professional actors in authentic costumes tell tales from history – sometimes stirring, sometimes poignant, always dramatic! These will be performed in the Theatre (near the café).
Entry to the Fort and children's events is FREE, although a small charge applies for craft activities.
Do something different and bring the kids for a great day out!

- When pregnancy is detected, discontinue MICARDIS HCT as soon as possible [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
- Drugs that act directly on the renin-angiotens in system can cause injury and death to the developing fetus [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
MICARDIS HCT tablets are a combination of telmisartan, an orally active angiotensin II antagonist acting on the AT1 receptor subtype, and hydrochlorothiazide, a thiazide diuretic.
Telmisartan, a non-peptide molecule, is chemically described as 4'-[(1,4'-dimethyl-2'-propyl[2,6'-bi- 1H-benzimidazol]-1'-yl)methyl]-[1,1'-biphenyl]-2-carboxylic acid. Its empirical formula is C33H30N4O2, its molecular weight is 514.63, and its structural formula is:
Telmisartan is a white to slightly yellowish solid. It is practically insoluble in water and in the pH range of 3 to 9, sparingly soluble in strong acid (except insoluble in hydrochloric acid), and soluble in strong base.
Hydrochlorothiazide is a white, or practically white, practically odorless, crystalline powder with a molecular weight of 297.74. It is slightly soluble in water, and freely soluble in sodium hydroxide solution. Hydrochlorothiazide is chemically described as 6-chloro-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,2,4- benzothiadiazine-7-sulfonamide 1,1-dioxide. Its empirical formula is C7H8ClN3O4S2, and its structural formula is:
MICARDIS HCT tablets are formulated for oral administration in three combinations of 40 mg/12.5 mg, 80 mg/12.5 mg, and 80 mg/25 mg telmisartan and hydrochlorothiazide, respectively. The tablets contain the following inactive ingredients: sodium hydroxide, meglumine, povidone, sorbitol, magnesium stearate, lactose monohydrate, microcrystalline cellulose, maize starch, and sodium starch glycolate. As coloring agents, the 40 mg/12.5 mg and 80 mg/12.5 mg tablets contain ferric oxide red, and the 80 mg/25 mg tablets contain ferric oxide yellow. MICARDIS HCT tablets are hygroscopic and require protection from moisture.
What are the possible side effects of hydrochlorothiazide and telmisartan (Micardis HCT)?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
In rare cases, hydrochlorothiazide and telmisartan can cause a condition that results in the breakdown of skeletal muscle tissue, leading to kidney failure. Call your doctor right away if you have unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness especially if you also have fever, unusual tiredness, and dark colored urine.
Call your doctor at once if you have a side effect such...

Purchased this Perry Ellis 360 - White and was very pleased with the reaction of my 25th years old son. Smells very fresh vanilla, sweet lavender as baby powder. My son loves it and wears it every day to work and even on his workout days.
Written by Lisa on May 20, 2014
Perry Ellis 360 White cologne by Perry Ellis just lovely smell.. bringing back memories of my black sea-side holidays is more of a contradiction very light an cool and also intriguing and hot
Written by Bogdan on October 16, 2013
Perry Ellis 360 White is one of my all-time favorite fragrances. It's youthful and not too heavy, but I get a really strong masculine vanilla scent from it. Like sone laundry detergent mixed with a vanilla candle or something. I can't stop smelling myself when I wear it (in a good way!).

Either you pulled the front suicide brake lever a little to hard & fast, OR you hit a pot hole/bump and the front tire locked up under the fork because it ran out of travel? No matter how it happened, the end result was a broken elbow... and that suuux!! Sorry to hear it, hope you heal quick and jump back on and tame the Bully!!

It seems like youd know for sure.
tecumseh replies: most modern day thinking folk minds operate based upon a probability statement of some form or another. absolute certainty is, most often times, a mirage (or when created by man, smoke and mirrows).
I suspect that I can appreciate some of Jim's comments simply because we have both withnessed a number of similar problems come and go before (in regards to the bees) and often times with exactly the same 'conversation' attached.
How could I have gotten it so mixed up?
Frankly, I suspect that only one of us is attempting to employ smoke and mirrors but then that appears to be the domain of modern day thinking folks.

Hey guys. It's been a while since I've posted any of my work on TDH, as I've not done much in the realm of Mandalorians in a while. But, some of you have seen my old Fett and Jodo stuff and know who I am.
Anyway... I realize this isn't cannon or Fett, but I thought I'd post it here since my intent was to create a paintjob similar to those seen on the movie helmets, only on a Jodo helmet. I wanted it to look like as if it were painted at the same time the ESB bucket was done.
Most of the colors were custom mixed and the weathering was a combination of liquid mask and topical. The base is a BobaMaker helmet, which I can't say enough about. I love this helmet (partially because it comes ready to roll). Some of the weathering patterns are taken from the comic, but most of it is my own design. I intentionally left off the kill stripes thinking they remain a Fett thing. RF coming soon.
This belongs to my buddy Erik whose revamped suit should be ready for D*con and hopefully will be used in a Twin Engines fan film I've been planning.
And one with no flash to see the change in colors:

text: Hello, we've thought about having bee hive for a few years. This is the year! I'm working with a mentor and will start out with 2 hives. I've done some reading and studying and have decided to go with 8 frame hives. I am retired so I finally have some extra time to focus on raising some bees. It looks like the weather is finally going to break in our area and we'll soon be working on the hives. Chris
