At last a level-playing field is being established.
Although, for many, there is a great sense of disappointment that the WBC heavyweight title fight between Deontay Wilder and Alexander Povetkin has been called off, it has been called off for all the right reasons.
At a time when many sports, even tennis, are coming under scrutiny as to just how far drugs have corrupted things, the WBC are to be applauded for halting the circus when one of its performers has tested positive.
David Haye, eagerly awaiting his second fight since he took the decision to make a comeback, has had his say on the drugs bust, remarking to the media,
I do regular tests with the UK Anti-Doping they came the other day unannounced.
So it was good to hear Povetkin and Wilder were doing similar, in the past that might not happen.
Its nice to see other countries chipping in but it was crazy a fighter as accomplished as Povetkin was caught using the same stuff as Maria Sharapova.
It was David but hes now gotten what he deserves and we wait to see what punishment the WBC hand out to Povetkin.

Like I said in the title... What you all think about LESS CSS or The dynamic stylesheet language.
More info on this subject can be found here [LESS « The Dynamic Stylesheet language and here [url=http://coding.smashingmagazine.com/2011/08/23/the-semantic-grid-system-page-layout-for-tomorrow/]The Semantic Grid System: Page Layout For Tomorrow - Smashing Magazine](http://lesscss.org/) but I would like to hear something from the first hand.
So, any experiences with this LESS CSS?
Me thinks it's stupid.
Any arguments?
I've looked into both of them, out of curiosity. I tend to disagree with almost everything that comes out of Stubbornella's mouth for some reason : ) I apparently do CSS in a completely different way from how she does it.
For the work I do, they (LESS or SASS) would be-adding extra work (converting the made-up new syntax to what I really am trying to say, installing stuff on my server)
-adding Yet Another Layer Where Things Can Go Wrong between me and my rendered page (I hear there's a firebug plugin/patch that lets it help you debug your LESS'd or SASS's CSS, but dunno about the other browsers' dev tools)
It seems to be one of those things where, programmers are constantly complaining about how much CSS sucks because... because it's not a programming language. So that is one thing LESS/SASS does is let programmers pretend it is a programming language, by adding things like loops, variables, scope, conditions... and lets them avoid some of the syntax of CSS (complicated stuff like... comma-separated values, or vendor prefixes. Darn, that stuff's so hard and takes me so long to type. Oh wait, it doesn't, I have an excellent text editor! Using non-crappy tools really does help).
It also seems like something a group of developers trying to stay coherent and know/understand what everyone else is doing would use, especially if they are working with lots and lots of crappy HTML. Crappy HTML leads to crappy CSS, and it seems LESS or SASS would help a developer's head not explode trying to write CSS for crappy HTML.
It kinda reminds me of CoffeeScript, in that you basically learn a whole new syntax... to write Javascript. Instead of writing... Javascript. If your project is big, you can use that same syntax for other languages and whatnot, and it can become a benefit in that situation.
The second link about CSS grids I think shows my point. I don't write CSS for crappy grid HTML, so I don't need to go install some tool to help me do that. All those arguments about using LESS to me are arguments against using grids, and I don't use grids, because I don't like all those reasons the guy points out.
But again, if you are some poor guy stuck with using grids because they are the Hot New iThing!, then LESS or SASS may help your head not explode while you try to style them.
I also got feeling that LESS is made only for grid system layouts and I must admit that I don't use it when I make layouts. It kind of seems too complicated without any really good reason for that.
Heaving read the documentation and being responsible for building medium scale web applications there are many aspects of LESS that look appealing. That said, I would never deploy it without a server-side parser and proper caching because client-side parsing would be an efficiency nightmare.
I think it is unfair to say it is only used to offset *****y HTML. All concepts shared between LESS and SASS aid in code consolidation, reuse and maintenance regardless of good or bad HTML. For small websites it would probably be an over kill but for web applications deployed multiple times with client-side customization having the tools it provides would improve workflow.
CSS variables would be nice to have I always have a need for variables. Right now I meet that need by passing CSS files through server-side code, which works but it would be nice to have in CSS itself. That is probably the one thing I wish there was native support, everything else I can probably do without.
Using js to simulate CSS seems self defeating. You could use js to do ALL your styling in a site. This would get kinda complicated quick and would immediately ruin your site if js is off; I suppose I am a purist. Am also a minimalist, add a library just so you can do CSS differently ( read: non standard)? change your class structures so that the js can work?
I agree with Stommes, it seems LESS was develop as a way to "correct" poor code ( or rather .. poor code planning that was executed as poor code)... It just seems as something that would make more work instead of LESS in the end.
I fail to understand the rational behind that.
I think it is unfair to say it is only used to offset *****y HTML.
It may be unfair. But I have never seen the accompanying HTML look anything close to good.
[ot]Then again, my HTML standards are very high, and it seems anything touched by robots (like a CMS) always fails my standards. And maybe that's unfair, because if a site is ginormous, we likely need robots to write and manage it for us. And I have worked on sites who were not products of ginormous CMSes.
But for example, I write HTML forms, and I like them. I am happy.Then a colleague has his back-end build them using something called a "form builder". I don't know what it is, except that it was an English-language program who kept trying to turn my "jaar" into "year" for some reason.
The code coming out of that form builder was a poor imitation of the excellent HTML I had started with (so, the work of writing the HTML was already done and maybe this is where the problem was, I dunno). This is why I have a poor view of all template systems and all builders. I have yet to see one not rake my code to shreds and then pathetically glue the bloody pieces together and call it "alive".[/ot]
That is probably the one thing I wish there was native support, everything else I can probably do without.
I would like parent selectors, and LESS/SASS kinda can imitate the result in a roundabout way.
But when the articles do the "don't you hate it having to look up a colour..." thing. Why don't I have that problem? It's like those late-night ads where you see someone pathetically trying to "clean" something, like OJ Simpson trying to fit his hand into a glove: it's theatrical. I watched a man horribly trying to shave, throwing up his hands like "omidog! it's just not possible!"
and then the product appears. The one that will allow housemoms to clean tiles and men to shave and OJ to fit his hand in a glove. It slices! It dices! It does Windows!
Again, this isn't the fault of LESS or SASS, but the poor arguments articles use to show why they are better: o noes front-enders just can't easily find and copy colours! (or something)Hm, not an issue I have. I recognise most of my colours and I have an excellent text editor that finds things for me and changes them on the fly. Likely someone has written a plugin that will actually even show me the colour right in the editor, if I wasn't so lazy I could go install it.
Using js to simulate CSS seems self defeating. You could use js to do ALL your styling in a site. This would get kinda complicated quick and would immediately ruin your site if js is off;
You don't have to do it this way, though.
Here is the situation they are referring to which I can relate.
We have a single website, that is deployed multiple times with small CSS changes for colors and images. It would be an efficiency nightmare to copy the styles sheets only to change one or two things every time the site is deployed for a new customer. Instead one single code set exists and CSS changes are made by passing the style sheets through the server-side code so that variable replacements can take place. That prevents duplicating the style sheets and ultimately those style sheets becoming out of sync, or worse when a change needs to be made having to go through all the duplicates and update those as well. Obviously this would not be a need with a single site, but when managing multiple sites using the same code et, keeping everything in one place avoiding duplicating the code set for a single customer to make a small change promotes ease of maintaining the software.
Just to put this in perspective I work for company that owns several newspapers and we have about 3 separate code sets for news, autos and real estate management. There are about 13 individual news papers that deploy these products with slight changes to match their individual branding. So we don't have 36 separate code sets floating around CSS variable replacement is necessary to keep everything together, yet make it possible to slightly customize the deployments. If CSS supported variables there could be a single style sheet to assign server side variables to CSS variables avoiding the need to pass all style sheets through server-side code and output dynamically.
My husband does that in Perl since they kinda have the same thing: multiple pages with mostly the same styles except each is for a different newspaper, so there are small changes that match the paper's house style.
It might not be exactly true, but for whatever reason Ruby does have this reputation of being slower than other interpreted languages. I wonder if the Perl solution is just so much better for such a situation than something like LESS or SASS?
Less functions are pretty neat though if you think about the idea of decoupling implementation from interface especially in terms of CSS3. While it may not be that big of a deal to repeat 5+ lines of CSS to support many CSS3 properties in all capable browsers, it does quickly become a pain. Even worst is if implementation changes there isn't a single thing to change, you need to go through and update all occurrances of the code. Using less a single function can be created to apply the CSS3 and easily updates once if something changes.
I have to agree with Stomme poes. I've tried both and found that they took up more time than going straight to my editor of choice and hand-coding the design right away. It's indeed an extra layer that I neither need nor want. Besides, I'm a control freak, I want to write each line of my code. I memorize things a lot better that way. Such systems take away lots of work for the grey matter, and especially with CSS, that isn't necessarily a good thing. Not for me, anyway. For the same reason, I have problems using pre-made templates like HTML Boilerplate and their kin. It just doesn't feel like a pragmatic choice to me, though it's intended to be just that. Then again, I'm pretty inflexible with changing my ways. I started learning HTML and CSS through coding manually, having any parts auto-inserted by a tool, makes me uneasy.
I've toyed around with PHPLess a while back, and after I'd finally set it up to work with my PHP framework of choice (Yii) correctly I ditched it because I didn't like it after all (why do you always figure that out after hours of testing and implementing).
Anyway, what I didn't like about it was:
The one thing I really did like are the variables and how you can use calculations in there. For example with sticky footers there are some values that turn up repeatedly all over the CSS. With less you just define variables footerheight, footerborderheight, footerpadding, etc somewhere, and use that everywhere. When you need to change one of these values you just change the variable and everything will automatically be changed to suit. This doesn't weight up against the cons I listed above though (especially because you really don't change the height of a sticky footer all that often ...)
If I were to use something like LESS it would be for:
I think the one thing I would probably skip out on for sure is the nesting. As was mentioned before, it could potentially be quite easy to lose where you're at, and since selector specificity is affected, it is something that could potentially prove troublesome.
Having said all that, I still haven't convinced myself that I should use LESS since there will inevitably be some hassle associated with it. For most things I work on, the hassle/time/pain involved would outweigh the benefits of it.
I do agree however that if you would start building a big application or framework, that LESS might be worth using. Especially for frameworks where the aim is to have a sort of boilerplate of stuff there that requires some tweaking for your Next Big Thing Project.
What do you think of a tool like Less.app: LESS.app For Mac OS X where you basically write the .less file save it, and it automatically compiles the css directly into your chosen folder and you upload the compiled CSS. Personally, I would never rely on javascript for my CSS to work. I hate the idea of something solving the developer's problem at the expense of the user. Web devs should be solving the user's problems.
However, if you can upload the straight CSS, you could enjoy the scripting conventions, without worrying about that. I haven't used LESS yet, but I am more than just a little intrigued at the possibility of setting variables, not for the creation of the CSS, but for the maintenance.
There definitley is something to be said, though, for staying familiar with the standard, because if you get used to LESS, and then have to work in an environment without it, that could become pretty distressing.
Grid idiocy and an unnecessary framework... Oh yeah, bloody brilliant. RIGHT.
LESS is just more... more work, something new to learn, and doesn't do anything you couldn't just handle in a more reasonable fashion. It also makes pages harder to maintain as it just adds another step to it. Put this into the same category as other idiocy like jquery, mootools, YUI, etc...
Then "semantic grid" -- it's not semantic, and it defeats the entire POINT of using CSS in the first place as saying "grid_6" is still saying what it should look like in the CSS -- so when it comes time for "responsive" design you've pretty well shtupped yourself with an enormous schwanzstucker.
CSS frameworks -- more idiotic than javascript frameworks and that's really saying something... but of course such idiocy is how one ends up with megabyte sized pages to deliver 4k of plaintext -- right Yahoo?
Of course that the entire site is from someone who has apparently embraced the whole HTML 5 bull is hardly shocking -- given I bet they never once actually wrote a page practicing separation of presentation from content or semantic markup... and just two years ago was probably vomiting up HTML 3.2, slapping a tranny doctype on it and saying "close enough".
Besides, if you have to shove 34k of javascript (12k after compression) at a page just to have a CSS file be 10% smaller than if you wrote it properly, that's BS no matter how you color it.... Naturally though it tries to hide what a fat bloated mess it is since no tool out there will even tell you exactly how big the .less files actually are... which btw ends up 5k in five files once you deal with all the @import idiocy. Because of course saving a few bytes is so worth it when you quintuple the number of handshakes. RIGHT.
Actually, let's do a fair comparison... take their simple demo page which consists of the following files:
The Semantic Grid System | Fixed-width Example = 883 byteshttp://semantic.gs/examples/fixed/fixed.less = 603 byteshttp://semantic.gs/css/reset.less = 1062 byteshttp://semantic.gs/css/grid.less = 861 byteshttp://semantic.gs/css/demo.less = 438 byteshttp://semantic.gs/js/less-1.1.3.min.js = 33.9k
So that's six files in 37.7k -- about 2k of which is what the coder had to write... let's redo it using a RECOMMENDATION doctype, PROPER separation of presentation from content, and normal CSS. Just to make it as fair as possible I'll use XHTML 1.0 with ALL the extra stuff that HTML 5 supposedly "saves you time not having to do" since I'm going to be axing a few elements. I'll also toss in some closing comments:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
content="text/html; charset=utf-8"

The Semantic Grid System

751 bytes, so our markup is certainly smaller... Their demo being a PERFECT example of why I think elements like HEADER are pointless wasteful bloat and HTML 5 so far as markup is concerned is nothing more than "because we could" instead of "because it's better".
Then identical functioning CSS as a single file. Again to try and give their approach as much advantage as possible, I'll code in some IE5 support... and bother with things they skipped like say... fallback font-families?
/* null margins and padding to give good cross-browser baseline */
table,tr,td,th,p,img {
img,fieldset {
body {
text-align:center; /* center #pageWrapper IE 5.x */
#pageWrapper {
overflow:hidden; /* wrap floats */
width:960px; /* also trips haslayout, so IE is float wrapping */
margin:0 auto;
h1 {
margin:0 10px 20px;
font:normal 200%/120% georgia,times,serif;
h1 a {
h2 {
font:normal 150%/120% georgia,times,serif;
padding:5.25em 0;
#sidebar {
display:inline; /* prevent IE margin bugs */
#content {
margin:0 20px 0 10px;
Which comes out to 924 bytes. Where's the big savings in effort or code from using that nonsense again? Especially since their example breaks javascript off, their example doesn't work in IE7 or lower due to faulty CSS, etc, etc... When mine works just fine all the way back to IE 5.01
... and of course i can SHOCK easily make it a fluid layout, something NONE of these idiotic grid systems can even attempt to do... I can send print an entirely different layout since I'm targeting things by what they ARE, NOT what they look like.
Notice that even if we omit the javascript AND the grid framework AND their reset -- I'm still using less code overall... 1,924 bytes for their html, demo.css and fixed.css combined vs. 1,729 for mine... with mine not needing the additional 34+k of framework bloat. It's honestly why I think the people who come up with these types of systems to make things "easier" have failed to grasp how HTML and CSS even work in the first place! This is why whenever I see things like
 I feel like screaming at them "At that point just go back to coding HTML 3.2 as apparently that's all you're good at!"
Someone needs to explain to the nimrods who come up with these types of garbage exactly what semantic markup IS. It takes giant bronzed monkey cojones to call that grid system of theirs "semantic" -- as if that's what they think it means, they need to do the world a favor, back the devil away from the keyboard, and go take up something a bit simpler like bocce or horseshoes.
I like a lot of the ideas in it, but wish they were in CSS natively. The nesting is one thing that seems like a good idea but actually isn't that useful when you look at it. Variables, mixins, expressions etc I can see being quite useful. Even regular expressions being used in the selectors would be useful as well, with back references being able to be used in the rule as part of an expression or something.
I don't understand the resistance to change on these things, for the very artificial reason that people don't want CSS to become a 'programming language'. The primary purpose of the language should be to make it useful, not to please some people who don't want to have learn some new concepts. Oh well.
Can someone please tell me where the actual benefit is here? I looked through the examples, and it seems like most of the LESS code samples requires more lines than the actual CSS output.
Things like globally updating colours in one move is nice, but this can be done much faster in a number of less-complicated ways. The same goes for the operations. Seriously: If you can't do things like multiplication and addition, you need to brush up on your math skills, not make a Javascript-based CSS framework.
The nested rules is really just a different way to write things, and doesn't make things any better, save for possibly saving a couple of keystrokes.
The vendor-specific CSS is a non-issue. I can't think of any good reason to use this to cater for last year's browser versions. Those who can't see the rounded corners or dropshadow will just have to see the square corners in stead, and be none the wiser. Graceful degradation at its best.

Topic: 8 more days till our first scan...my stomach is in knots..
Hello to all!
My husband Dave (age 51) had a successful resection April 2nd, having 80% of his liver removed along with 30 lymph nodes (2 being cancerous). He has experienced so many complications since then, being 2 bowel obstructions, an infection, having an open wound, and his central line also became infected. He was malnurished and did not eat for 4 weeks, only TPN. Today, he is doing great, his wound is almost healed, and he is eating 3 meals a day. My concern is his lower back is acheing more often. We go for our first scan since the surgery, June 19th, and my stomach is just doing flip flops, the closer it gets to the scan, I am so scared. I am trying so hard to have faith, and keep my thoughts positive, but sometimes, I just look at him, and I want to cry. He is so thin (but is gaining), and some days, his mind seems to be somewhere else, and I am sure it is like mine, thinking of the scan. Please keep our famiy in your prayers. Keeping positive thoughts until June 19th!

Mountain for Teachers
These pages are intended to support a geology field trip to Stone Mountain, such as the 4th grade program Fernbank leads for DeKalb County Schools. Included are vocabulary, math exercises, a panorama from the mountain top, and an activity in which students can build a 3D model of the mountain while learning about topographic maps.
Aimed at 6th grade Discovery students, these pages present a self-paced lesson, about 2-1/2 hours in duration, in which students choose and learn about a particular volcano using the Internet. Each student then writes a story describing an imaginary visit to the volcano on the day of a specific major eruption. The story can be saved as a web page. Links to stories recently submitted by DeKalb County students (during visits to Fernbank) are also provided.
Rocks Under the Microscope
These pages are designed as a supplement to the article, "Those Rocks in Your Backyard", published in the Summer 1998 issue of Fernbank Magazine. Written for adults or high schoolers with an interest in science and natural history, these colorful pages introduce the use of the polarizing microscope with metamorphic rocks.

Cards confident with rotation heading into season
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- After logging six innings in each of his previous two starts, Jake Westbrook closed out his Grapefruit League work with a four-inning performance on Friday.
Westbrook threw 70 pitches (40 strikes) in the game. He walked four and allowed five hits and four fourth-inning runs. In his first five starts this spring, Westbrook combined to allow only eight earned runs in 20 innings.
"It was somewhat of a weird game because I felt like I pitched pretty well, other than a couple of missed spots that they really took advantage of," said Westbrook, whose first regular-season start will come next Friday in San Francisco. "It wasn't my best day. But I feel good about where I am."
The Cardinals feel good about where their rotation is collectively, too. Before Westbrook's so-so start, the Cardinals' other starters ended their spring work with impressive results. That included an eight-inning performance from Jaime Garcia, six shutout innings from Lance Lynn and a six-inning, two-run start by Adam Wainwright.
Those four pitchers, along with fifth starter Shelby Miller, combined for a 3.78 spring ERA. Garcia's was the lowest (2.48), and he logged more innings than anyone else on the club with 29.

My friends just seem to do it to say that they are vegan.
definately dont take anyone that starts the convo with 'i love meat blah blah blah blah' as serious
I think this is the reason you get a lot of the "I eat meat" responses lock-off, All the vegan/vegetarians I have known get on a stupid podium and act superior, like they are doing it just so they can say they they are better than everyone else. I didn't know you were a vegan until you posted on here, and that is cool. I am glad you don't make a sermon out of it like every other vegetarian I have known (all of who were undernourished and looked like death).

The Splash: My Thoughts on TNA's Final Resolution
by, 12-10-2012 at 08:44 PM (4518 Views)
Welcome Back Splashers! I've been busy for the past week putting up Hardcore Wrestling Radio's new Facebook page. There you can listen to previous shows, find out what we are going to talk about in up and coming shows, and much more! alright enough of the plugging and on with the splashing!
Final resolution opens up with Cowboy James Storm walking to the ring. He Stated that he was not scheduled for a match, however he was there to watch Jeff Hardy's back. He noticed when Aces & 8's attacked Hardy on Thursday, Roode gave the gang the thumbs up. So he wanted to call out Roode to give him an ass kicking before he even got to his match.
However instead of Roode, Kaz came out and gave a pretty good heel promo, calling Storm and the fans a bunch of drunks, which got the reaction he wanted from the fans. After Kaz and storm went back and forth a few times, Storm challenges him to a match. After a few minutes of back-tracking, a ref comes down, and a in prompt-to match is under way.
James Storm vs Kazarian
Kaz had control in the early part of the match; however James Storm quickly turned things around, and just a few minutes later he put Kaz away with The Last Call Super Kick. This was ok for opener match, but it ended a little too soon.
Winner James Storm
X- Division Championship Match
RVD© vs Kenny King
This match truly captured the essence of the X-Division! Lots of high flying moves, and lots of chain wrestling. Neither man had the upper hand throughout this match; it went back and forth literally every other move. The only time the match slowed down, was at the beginning, when RVD took a hard kick to the head, and had took a few moments outside the ring to recover.
In the end of the match, both men were able to counter their finishers, but RVD got the win with a simple roll-up.
Winner: RVD – Still X-Division Champion
TNA Tag Team Title Match
Chavo Guerrero/Hernandez© vs Joey Ryan & Matt Morgan
This was an ok match. I'm starting to like Joey Ryan a little bit more each week, but Chavo fails to impress me no matter where he goes. Some of the high points of the match were when Super-Mex and Morgan went head to head. I think a one-on one match between these two would be good for both of them right now.
Towards the end of the match, Morgan starts to blatantly ignore the ref, and comes in the ring and attacks Chavo or Hernandez, whenever Joey needed it. The last time Morgan comes in he gets dropkicked out of the ring by Chavo. Chavo then hops up to the turnbuckle, and hits Ryan with a Frog Splash, but Morgan pulls the ref out before he can make a count. The ref has had enough of Morgan's crap, and throws out the match.
Winners: Chavo Guerrero/Hernandez Still Tag Team Champions
Bully Rey vs Austin Aries
Aries spent the first few minutes avoiding Bully Rey. When Rey finally got a hold of Aries, Bully tossed him around like a rag doll. Then one mistake quickly turned things around for The Greatest Man That Ever Lived. Aries got cocky by doing Hogan taunts, and even went as far as to do Hogan's famous leg drop early in the match.
This was a great match with a lot of reversals, and eventually Bully gets busted open. Brooke Hogan comes to the ring to check on Bully, and gets his blood on her. Aries then pulls her in the ring, and corners her. Hulk Hogan makes his way to the ring, but Bully throws Aries out of the ring, and protects Brook. He then tells Hulk that he needs to get Brooke "out of here". Hogan brings her daughter in the back, and as the ref and Bully is paying attention towards the ramp. Aries comes up behind, and low-blows Bully, and gets the win.
Winner: Austin Aries
Knockout Title Match
Tara© vs Mickie James
This was a good Knockouts match, and I loved seeing Hardcore Country back in the ring. But when you get down to it, it was just another typical Tara/Jesse match. In other words, whenever Tara, was in trouble Jesse would interfere, and eventually help her get the win. It's something we have seen over and over again, and it's getting rather boring very quickly.
Winner: Tara Still Knockouts Champion
Aces and 8′s vs. Kurt Angle/Samoa Joe/ Wes Brisco/Garrett Bischoff
This match was just one hot mess! There was a lot of fast paced action, two guys who have masks, one with no name. I was hoping that one of the Aces would have lost their masks, but didn't happen. In the last few minutes of the match, things break down, and the Aces try to bring in the hammer into play, but Bischoff stops that. Moments later Angle is giving "Armbreaker" the Angle Slam to pick up the win for their team.
Winners: Kurt Angle/Samoa Joe/ Wes Brisco/Garrett Bischoff
AJ Styles vs Christopher Daniels: One Final Time
These two have had so many matches with and against each other, I find it very hard to believe that this is the "final time" they will ever face each other. Moving on, I thought the match itself was excellent. I am not a big fan of Daniels; I think he makes himself out to be much better than he thinks he is…just my opinion. However he does do his best when he is in the ring with Styles. During the match both men go for a cross body, and AJ got the worst of it, as he got a welt above his eye, and it was instantly swelling.
Later in the match Styles began to control the match for several minutes. He even hit the Styles Clash; however he only got the two count, because it took him so long to roll Daniels over. AJ then picks up Daniels, and plants him on the top rope, attempting to go for a Super Styles Clash, but Daniels reverses it into a hurricanrana. Daniels then Picks up AJ and hits him with his own Styles clash and gets the win.
Winner: Christopher Daniels
TNA World Title Match
Jeff Hardy© vs Bobby Roode
Earlier in the night Jeremy Borash was talking with Bobby Roode, and asked him what was his affiliation with Aces & 8's. He simply said that he made an investment with the clan to guarantee his win and re-gain the World Title. He ended the interview by saying "Money talks…Bullshit walks!" You won't hear that on WWE Television.
The match starts right off with Roode working over on Hardy, who is selling some rib injuries from the attack on Aces & 8's on Impact. Roode dominates most of the match, but just can't get the win. As the match goes on, Hardy continues to survive, despite taking extra punishment on the ribs, including a nasty crash into the barricades.
Then The Aces & 8's come down to ringside, and Roode gets the ref's attention..But they are not moving. Roode starts to yell at the clan, and is focusing on them instead of Hardy. Jeff gets to his feet, and hits Roode for the Twist of Fate, and gets the win.
Winner: Jeff Hardy Still TNA Champion
After the Match Aces & 8's then jump in the ring, and pound on Hardy. Roode breaks things up, furious with the group and starts screaming at them about money, and how he would be champion right now. The Aces & 8's then turn on Roode and attack him, and they all stand as the PPV ends.
My Final Resolution
Despite no titles changed hands I have to say, the qualities of these matches were overall great. I think TNA needs to work on their tag-team division, considering right now they only have 3 teams, but that's the only real place where their lacking. I love the AJ Styles storyline. Where the WWE is making CM Punk hit new record highs with his WWE title. TNA is doing the polar opposite with Styles(Who is the face of TNA), and hitting all time lows, and going on a massive losing streak, yet he continues to have incredible matches…Its brilliant!
Well that's it for this edition of the splash as always please put your thoughts and comments below. Also Live this Wednesday on at 11pm ET we will be having our show: Hardcore Wrestling Radio. For more information check us out at our Facebook page. Until next time…See you when I see you @RickStarr

Apple's recently announced iPad mini and iPad 4 have gone up for pre-order in the UK.
Prices for Apple's pint-sized iPad mini start at £399 and soon after pre-orders went live the delivery schedule has been pushed back. The 16GB model Nexus 7 rival is now stating it will be dispatched in two weeks instead of on 2 November. See also: Apple iPad mini price in the UK.
At the time of writing, the 32GB and 64GB models priced at £349 and £429 are still on track for the 2 November launch date but only if you want a black & slate model. All the white & silver versions are delayed. See Apple iPad Mini vs Google Nexus 7 tablet comparison review.
All of the iPad 4, or iPad with Retina display, models are unaffected so far. Pricing stays the same for the 9.7in iPad starting at £399 for 16GB Wi-Fi only.
Those wishing to get an iPad mini or iPad 4 with cellular data will have to wait until 'late November', although Apple said they would be released two weeks after the Wi-Fi only models placing the launch date on 16 November.
After having to change the name of the third generation iPad from Wi-Fi + 4G to Wi-Fi + cellular because it didn't support 4G frequency in the UK, Apple has stuck to this system. Rest assured, though, that both the iPad mini and iPad 4 with cellular data do support 4G in the UK.

The dark days of winter are almost over, meaning it's time to ditch your boots, sweaters and unkempt hair for clothing and hairstyles that are fresh and spunky. If you've had the same long locks for years, it might be fun to spice up your look this spring with a fabulous bed-head style. Sally Hershberger, the hair guru behind Meg Ryan's famous messy- bed head look, recently dished on achieving a similar style fit for 2013 in the pages of Glamour magazine.
It starts with a cut
You might assume you can easily achieve this tousled, wavy hairstyle with a few hair products, but in reality, the style starts with getting a fresh cut.
"Ask your stylist for layers that would work well with your hair texture and cut," Hershberger told the news outlet. "For finer hair, just a few longer layers to frame the face will make a major difference."
With the perfect cut in place, it's time to have some fun with messing it up!
Two-part makeover
Now that your hair is the correct length and shape, you'll need to start the process of helping to make it seem carefree and easy-breezy. In order to avoid a flattened look, the hair expert suggests you start the transformation by flipping your head upside down and spraying volumizing hair spray underneath to give it some volume. Using a product like the Steiner Stay Put Extra Firm Finishing Spray 200 ml might be a perfect option in this instance, since the spray adds body and helps lift and control your locks.
After spraying, flip your head back over and start styling your locks with your hands - remember with bed head, bigger is better - so go to town.
When your hair is big and beautiful, it's time to tone it down with a bit of styling. Hershberger recommends rolling up one-inch sections of your dry hair around two fingers and then clipping the sections up for five minutes to achieve perfect waves. Add in a bit of Steiner Jelly Whip Styling Gel 150 ml prior to pinning the hair up to ensure the waves hold thanks to its flexible, yet strong formula.
With these few easy steps you can totally give yourself a new, fresh and youthful look your friends are sure to be jealous about. Plus, you can opt to wear the style with a middle or side part, offering you multiple looks with a few simple products and procedures.

Minor League Update
Games of Tuesday, June 11
Pitching Prospect of the Day: Edwin Escobar, LHP, Giants (High-A San Jose): 6.0 IP, 6 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 9 K. Escobar is a lefty who relies on his FB/CH combination. The curveball is developing, but Escobar will depend on the changeup as his primary secondary offering; 55.2 IP, 51 H, 20 ER, 14 BB, 73 K in 12 outings this season.
Position Prospect of the Day: Joey Gallo, 3B, Rangers (Low-A Hickory): 4-4, 2B, 3 HR, 4 R, 4 RBI. Gallo's raw power is off the charts, but he has shown plenty of swing and miss in his full-season debut. The thing that struck me while I was watching Gallo for a series earlier this season was the fact that he really played the game hard. He has plenty of arm for third base and looked to me like he could stay there for the long haul.
Other notable prospect performances on June 11:
"The Good"
"The Bad"
"The Healthy"
Matt Purke, LHP, Nationals (Low-A Hagerstown): 4.2 IP, 6 H, 4 ER, 2 BB, 8 K. For me, the main thing is that Purke is out logging innings. He may give up hits and runs, but the strikeouts are still there, and most importantly, he is there. I look forward to seeing Purke at some point this summer.

Is Joey Gallo related to Jerry Gallo, NYC attorney?

He's dead. Did you mean Jerry Callo with a "C"?

With Francisco Lindor currently consuming most of the #futuresparkle for the Tribe at SS, does Ronny Rodriguez' bat play at 2B? Plus power potential sounds promising, but not if it's more potential than plus, or if the hit tool means it's never realized.
Jun 12, 2013 11:41 AM
For Rosell Herrera did you mean "will have to move off of SS eventually" to 3B, or did you mean he'll have to move off of 3B? I thought he was still playing SS?

By the end of today Steve Jobs will most likely announced newer, better, cheaper iPhones. In addition to the hardware the iPhone application store will launch. Being a gorgeous hand held device with a touch screen makes it perfect for music software. I suspect over the next few months we will see dozens of touch screen sequencers, synths and drum machines. Will we see any power players like Ableton jump on board early on? I doubt it but you never know.
Today a company called Intua announced BeatMaker (what a unique name!) which will be one of the first "for sale" apps. It's a "Sampler Interface" which leads me to believe it can't sample via the iPhone yet but I could be wrong. BeatMaker is also a sequencer and has eq, delay and bit crushing capabilities. Here's a screenshot:
Another music app for the iPhone ready to launch is Moo-Cow-Music's "Band" (oh god another great named app!), This has a virtual band of drums, bass, guitars and keyboards ready to play. The key feature of course is, "Multitouch – press up to five keys at once for complex chords.". Here's a video of "Band" in action:

I found myself attending services at Sonrise regularly. As has been my historical custom with religion, I would come in the "nick of time" (or a little late), sit in the back, listen while others sang and then leave without saying much to others when the service ended. But while there I listened. And who I heard was a man who lived in my world. He addressed my unspoken questions and talked of solutions to our shared struggles. He understood my family problems as he appropriately shared his own. And he did this all without knowing that he was talking directly to me.
I always wanted to tell Stan the impact he had on me but never got around to it. Maybe that is why I feel the need to share my thoughts publicly. As I think about it, the impact not only came from what he said but the quiet strength he projected. He was a man who lived his faith.
I didn't know Stan well, but I didn't have to to benefit from being touched by him. In that regard, it seems to me that he might share some traits with his "role model," Jesus Christ. They both had the ability to impact others just by living and dying.
Bill WeberRecently there was a story in the paper about Gov.-elect Pence in Fort Wayne. I have some questions and some suggestions.
First, the questions: Is he, Mike Pence, still a member of the U.S. House of Representatives? If he is, why isn't he in Washington, D.C., taking care of the nation's business? Why is he touring Indiana pushing his plans for the state (when) he won't be governor until next month? He did that, pushed his plans, during the campaign.
Now for the suggestions: I don't think we need a state income tax cut. If Indiana has that much money, I think Indiana should spend the surplus, finish I-69, repair bridges, increase funding to education, contribute to public employees pensions, etc. If the governor-elect really wants to cut taxes, he should push to lower the state sales tax.
Dennis A. HeadleeRepublicans are going to lose the tax confrontation battle! Let's say, as many propose, the conservatives hold the line and we end up going over the media-hyped "fiscal cliff." Then what? I'll tell you. By the first week in January the House will be so bloodied, chastened, have had their hats handed to them by the media and outraged (I hate that overworked tag) citizens that they will meekly OK raising tax rates on the 2 percent while extending the 98 percenters' present rates; so what was accomplished? Nothing!
Here's what to do: The House should now pass extending the rates for the so-called Obama 98 percent — that done, then pass a separate extension for the so-called 2 percent rich guys; it's sure to fail in the Senate or get vetoed by President Obama. Now the onus is on the prez and his band of misguided zealots. Then it's not if, but when te economy tanks it's on their heads/their watch — and the Republicans can then claim a bigger majority in the House in 2014 and just maybe take back the Senate, unless they pick some ideologues who can't keep their mouths shut on non-starters like abortion, women's rights in the workplace, how many cats per family and other red herrings!
Standing by one's principles is grandiose in theory, but in actuality you gotta remember "the law of large numbers" applies not only to economics but to the electorate and right now the Obamaites and their 47 percent of income tax non-payers are holding the cards. Let the economy sink back into a deep recession; then there just may be a call for a return to fiscal sanity. (You might think, "Wait, you're playing politics with the country's future!" Oh really? It's been going on this way for 200-plus years!)
Rich PolkThe 2012 annual CASA Volunteer Appreciation dinner recognizing 27 years of exceptional volunteer advocacy on behalf of the abused and neglected children of Allen County was held recently. Nearly 150 men and women are CASA – court appointed special advocates who volunteer their service for these children.
Once a year, a dinner is held to honor the years of service given by these volunteers, whether a volunteer just finished their training and are beginning their first case or was honored for 27 years of active service, as I was. Many volunteers have spent many years advocating on behalf of these children.

BAYTOWN, Texas - A Baytown mother and her family are seeking justice after a group of boys at Baytown Christian Academy were allegedly caught recording video under the skirts of female students.
The act is known as upskirting. The victim said it happened in the school cafeteria when the boys called her to their table. The girl said one of the boys had a phone taped to his foot with the record button on.
The three boys reportedly admitted to the upskirting and the school decided to expel them with the option to return next year.
However, according to the victim's family, the school board reversed that decision and allowed the boys to return if they apologized at a school assembly.
The school board told KPRC Local 2 that "the board is aware of it, and is dealing with it in an appropriate manner. There has been disciplinary action but we cannot comment on the case because it involves students."
"It seems like they're just trying to sweep it under the rug and that's wrong," said the girl's distraught mother, who doesn't want to be identified.
The family said the school offered to pay for counseling for their daughter. But the family said it wants the boys expelled or suspended. The family said they know that upskirting is a crime. If they go to police, the boys could be charged.
The victim's mother said they don't want to take that option.
"I'm all about forgiveness," said the mother. "But what about justice and what's right is right? It just feels like my daughter's insignificant and she's not."

"Bab El Haara" (The Neighborhood Gate) fans are in for a double treat; the highly-popular social drama [2] is returning to our screens, and is bringing Syrian actor Abbas Al Nouri back with it!
Abbas played the popular character "Abu Issam" and has just sealed the deal for a comeback in the series' final sixth and seventh sequels.
But according to Sayidaty.net, Abbas was a tad skeptical about returning to the show. For starters, his character had supposedly been killed off [3] in Season 3, and he felt that his return would be somewhat "meaningless."
However, it was "Bab El Haara's" fab scriptwriters who presented him with a very well-written script for the final two sequels that impressed him and convinced him to come aboard once again!
The show's writers Suleiman Abdel Aziz and Uthman Hajja are currently finalizing the script, which, sources said, will take a totally different direction from the previous seasons.
Director Azzam Fouq Al Addah has just touched down in Syria from Canada to work his magic on the series, which will also be supervised by director Bassem al Mulla.

I is true that I am not obligated, just by having these student loans, to actively seek employment. Also, the feds insure the lender will be repaid in this program, thus I do not feel it would be stealing if I did not pay on them as a monk. Now the feds have to get the money somewhere, but frankly, I do not feel any moral issue, personally, with them repaying the lender. The feds do not mind using my money to pay to bomb people in foreign lands, thus I'm not sure I'd mind them paying my loan so I can cultivate compassion 24/7 as a monk. I'm just thinking out loud right now... All this stuff is very arguable of course.

Is a UK student loan (ie through the Student Loans Company rather than a private arrangement between an individual and a bank) considered a debt for the purposes of fulfilling the pre-requisites for ordination?
Its repayment is linked to earnings (so if you're unemployed, you don't pay it back until you gain employment) and it is automatically cleared after 25 years.
Thanks in advance!

NEW YORK—There have been too many fits and starts in the Rangers' season to declare that they finally figured things out Monday night in a 4-2 victory over the Winnipeg Jets. New York still is the lowest-scoring team in the NHL, still has not posted back-to-back regulation wins since early February, and still sits eighth in the East, by virtue of having played one fewer game than the New York Islanders.
Another recurring theme of the Rangers' season has been excessive reliance on only two players—Rick Nash and Derek Stepan—to score goals. That did not change on Monday, with Stepan scoring twice, Nash scoring once, and linemate Ryan Callahan netting New York's other goal on a four-point night for the captain. There was something different about this game, though.
"I thought all the lines created chances and played really well," said Henrik Lundqvist, who made 26 saves and was the beneficiary of his greatest goal support in a home game since March 5. "We looked good. We looked confident."
If there is one Ranger who particularly brims with confidence, it is the just-back-from-the-KHL Mats Zuccarello, who took some Twitter ribbing from Lundqvist upon his return—the Vezina Trophy winner made a Hobbit joke about his diminutive teammate—and responded by tweeting that he could score at will on Lundqvist.
Zuccarello has returned to New York with the objective of providing an offensive boost, and he is finding early chemistry with two of the Rangers' underachieving stars, Marian Gaborik and Brad Richards.
"That's two great players, you can't complain playing with two class players," Zuccarello said. "Richie's a smart player, and Gabby is the same, and got great speed. I just have to get those guys the puck and try to contribute what I can do with some energy and a little bit of speed."
On Monday night, Zuccarello led all Rangers forwards with a plus-9 Corsi rating (even strength shot attempts for and against), while Gaborik and Richards each were plus-8.
"Even in Montreal (a 3-0 loss on Saturday), they made some plays," Rangers coach John Tortorella said. "The thing I like about their game tonight, they not only made plays, they forechecked, they were around the puck, and battled along the wall. I think Gabby, I thought he had some really good shifts in Montreal and had more, consistently, in this game. And Zucc, just, he's a smart player—I guess not that smart with three penalties—but as far as with the puck, he sees it. He sees it."
Maybe it comes with being 5-foot-7, but Zuccarello has always seemed to see the ice a little bit differently. The 25-year-old Norwegian has played just 54 games in his NHL career, and it seems that he is figuring out how to get his vision to mesh with what his teammates see.
"He's just a smart hockey player," Richards said. "He makes smart, good little plays that for a lot of people, it goes unnoticed. When you're playing with him, you notice those. It's a lot different when you play with someone who gets you those little three, four-foot passes, when you're skating and at speed, especially those center icemen, coming up with the wingers. It's a lot different when you're getting the puck as you're moving instead of at your feet. That's why we were able to create stuff through the neutral zone tonight, and get Gabby some pucks wide. Like I said, you don't see it every second of the game, but playing with him, you really notice it."
The funny thing was that the play that got Zuccarello on the scoresheet with his first assist since returning to the NHL was not crisp at all. Coming out of the penalty box following a high-sticking minor, Zuccarello chipped the puck away from defenseman Tobias Enstrom, Callahan was able to grab it out of the air, then skated in with Zuccarello on a 2-on-1 before deking Ondrej Pavelec to the ice and scoring on the backhand.
Zuccarello took two other penalties, as Tortorella mentioned—one for high sticking and the other for closing his hand on the puck. The latter was a consequence of Zuccarello having played this season in the KHL before returning to Broadway and being unaware of the NHL rule change disallowing such plays in the offensive zone.
The Rangers were able to kill off that penalty and laugh about it afterward. They will be able to have a lot more smiles if Zuccarello indeed proves to be the elixir that Gaborik and Richards need.

Mired in slump, Bradley on bench for opener vs. Tribe
CLEVELAND -- Mired in an 0-for-20 slump, Red Sox outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. found himself on the bench for Tuesday night's game against the Indians, even with right-hander Ubaldo Jimenez pitching for Cleveland.
Bradley, who is ranked the club's No. 2 prospect, is hitting .097 in his first nine Major League games.
"Well, we've got six righties coming up against us and it's a matter of continuing his development yet putting the best lineup we can on the field," said manager John Farrell. "That's what goes into it. It's a balance. It's something that I and we as a staff have to continue to integrate him when possible. Play him and make sure he doesn't go too far from getting at-bats. I'm sure he'll be on the field at some point in this series."
Slugger David Ortiz could be ready for activation on Friday night, when the club opens a homestand against the Royals. If that ends up being the case, Bradley will likely be optioned to Triple-A Pawtucket.
With Bradley out of Tuesday's lineup, Daniel Nava got the start in left while Jonny Gomes served as the designated hitter.

PHILADELPHIA — Local produce remains a big draw for customers shopping the Philadelphia Wholesale Produce Market.
Distributors say they're receiving more requests for local produce and say they expect demand to grow.
"The local deal is getting bigger every year," said Jimmy Storey, president and owner of Quaker City Produce Co. "A lot of people want Jersey Fresh. They've done a fantastic job marketing their product. Local is becoming bigger here."
Located within an hour of New Jersey fields and close to regional production in Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia and New York gives Philadelphia distributors an advantage in transportation cost savings.
Pinto Bros. Inc. is a longtime purchaser of Maine broccoli.
Todd Penza, salesman, said East Coast broccoli crown production continues to increase, and the distributor enjoys success with it.
"Though the quality is comparable to California's, it still comes down to quality," Penza said.
Pinto Bros. gets requests for locally grown from foodsevice operations too, he said.
"The big thing for foodservice is they want to know the name of the farm they're getting it from and want it all the time," Penza said.
Rick Milavsky, vice president of BRS Produce Co., said he sees more interest in the area production.
"We have had some of the same farmers for over 25 years," Milavsky said.
"When the local-grown is out, people want it. We take a hit down here because a lot of our customers outside of the market are getting product from the local farmers as well."
Chip Wiechec, president of Hunter Bros. Inc., agrees that the summer season puts pressure on wholesalers.
"Local has always been preferable," Wiechec said. "The same time everyone has a big push with local produce, a lot of our customers have someone who's a neighbor of theirs trying to get rid of their excess inventory."
Mark Levin, co-owner of M. Levin & Co Inc., asks what is defined as local.
"Everyone likes to buy local, but the problem is no one can decide if you're getting produce from Pennsylvania and New Jersey, if that's still local here," he said. "Are Delaware watermelons local? Does it have to be in Pennsylvania or Philadelphia? What's the radius to consider it local? The radius is getting bigger and bigger as the crop starts to diminish."
Procacci Bros Sales Corp. sends buyers to the Vineland, N.J. Co-op Produce Auction to buy loads of regional produce.
Mike Maxwell, Procacci's president, said retailers do well promoting local products.
"They have signs pointing out the regions," Maxwell said. "Local is almost taking over organic, for many reasons."


text: McCormick Reforms Continue to Benefit Exhibitors January 11, 2011 10:20 AM FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE McCormick Reforms Continue to Benefit Exhibitors CHICAGO, ILLINOIS – Officials from McCormick Place, home of the Chicago Auto Show since 1961, have implemented another round of reforms that are designed to increase flexibility for conventions and tradeshows in Chicago. Following quickly after Phase One reforms in August 2010, which most notably expanded exhibitor rights, this second round of changes aims to make McCormick Place even more inviting to current and potential exhibitors. Changes include: reduced crew sizes; reduced electrician charges; expanded "straight time" hours for labor; reduced catering costs; more affordable food concessions for the public and more affordable parking rates. As a result of these changes, exhibitors can expect to see up to a 20-30 percent reduction in electricity charges and patrons of McCormick Place conventions, exhibits and shows will park for only $14 in Lot B, which previously cost $19. The center will further reduce rates to $10 after 6pm each day of the public show. "We think what's good for the Chicago Auto Show and its exhibitors is good for the industry overall," said Kevin Mize, chairman of the 2011 Chicago Auto Show. "To that end, we're happy that these reform packages will help lower costs and increase the ability of our exhibitors to expand their displays for the public." According to the Chicago Convention & Tourism Bureau, the McCormick Place reforms have already resulted in nearly a dozen tradeshows re-committing to Chicago or committing to bring their business to the city for the first time. Collectively, those commitments represent more that $1.6 billion in estimated direct expenditures for Chicago during the next decade. About the Chicago Auto Show: The Chicago Auto Show is the largest on the continent, spanning over one million square feet of production, concept, and exotic vehicle exhibit space. In addition to hosting multiple world and North American vehicle debuts, the Chicago Auto Show's First Look for Charity raises nearly $2 million annually for 18 worthy Chicago organizations in a single night. The 2011 public show will be held from February 11 – February 20, 2011. For more information, visit www.chicagoautoshow.com or www.facebook.com/chicagoautoshow About the Chicago Automobile Trade Association: Founded in 1904, the Chicago Automobile Trade Association (CATA) is the nation's oldest and largest metropolitan dealer organization.

The high-density polyethylene, all-weather faux wicker is infused with UV inhibitors that prevent fading and cracking ordinarily caused by sunlight. The frame is made from heavy-gauge, powder-coated aluminum that will not rust or deteriorate. The cushions are covered with solution-dyed Sunbrella® acrylic fabric, which is long-lasting, fast-drying, mildew-resistant, and fade-resistant even in the worst sun conditions. The quick-drying polyester cushions are wrapped solid foam. Don't settle for flimsy look-alikes; once you compare materials and dimensions you'll see that with Cypress patio furniture you're getting top-quality, long-lasting, super-comfortable furniture at a smart price. Cushions are included; pillows shown in the images are not included.
