The Voice Recap: Teams Blake & Christina Face Instant Eliminations
April 16, 2012 07:33 PM by Shayla Perry
Surprised by tonight's Instant Elimination twist on The Voice? So were the coaches! Apparently, somebody didn't get the memo from NBC. Find out which two artists were cut from Teams Blake and Christina, plus more highlights from the show after the jump.
The first performance of the night is from Team Blake's sassy Texas native, RaeLynn, who bumps and grinds her way through "She's Country," getting a standing ovation from Blake Shelton, and inspiring Christina Aguilera to get a little bit country herself.
Who can top that?
Perhaps one Mr. Jesse Campbell who takes on Beyonce's "Halo." With his daughter as his inspiration, Jesse, not surprisingly delivers another great performance. And yes, all of the coaches still think he's the favorite to win.
Up next, Jordis Unga. After almost being eliminated last week, she's back, and appropriately singing "A Little Bit Stronger." It's an emotional one for Jordis, and the coaches agree that the whole vulnerability thing is definitely working for her.
With a little help from Crenshaw High School's gospel choir, Team Christina takes the stage next, first showering Blake Shelton with some bills as he gets grinded on by the male strippers he's been complaining about all season.
After belting it out with her coach and teammates, Ashley De La Rosa is hitting the stage again singing "Foolish Games." Is the teen really Christina's "secret weapon"? Cee Lo's critique is a bit underwhelming, but Adam and Blake seem to think that the smartest decision this season was Ashley being saved.
The second smartest?
The collaboration between Maroon 5 and Wiz Khalifa, who perform their new single, "Payphone." Good luck trying to get this one out of your head!
Next, Team Blake's Erin Willett is attempting Adele's "Set Fire to The Rain." Not many have been able to handle Adele this season. Will Erin be the one to finally get it right? She came pretty close, but WILLETT be enough to keep her in the competition? (Sorry, couldn't resist.)
Lindsey Pavao is challenging herself with Katy Perry's "Part of Me." There are a few pitch problems, but as Blake points out, when you're a fan of Lindsey, those things are excused. But what's up with Cee Lo and Christina not knowing the song?!
It's Papa Bear's turn to sing with his team, and tonight, Team Blake is singing "Heartache Tonight." We think we've found our next platinum-selling country group! Okay, maybe a little wishful thinking on our part, but their voices sound AWESOME together.
Returning to the stage, Jermaine Paul performs "Against All Odds." Christina loves it so much that Jermaine is officially her favorite member of Team Blake.
Last, but certainly not least, is Team Christina's Chris Mann singing "Viva La Vida." It's a surprising song choice, but it works even if Adam would've preferred to hear Chris sing opera.
And now for the hard part….
For the first time, the coaches have to cut one of their team members immediately.
It's a difficult decision, but it has to be done, and Christina ultimately chooses to eliminate Jesse Campbell!
For Team Blake, the artist going home is Jordis Unga.

Jesse Campbell and Jermaine are the best of the show, and she got rid of Jesse???

The elimination of Jessie Campbell was a disgrace. He was incredibly talented. Chistine gone it so wrong. I won't be watching The Voice any longer. Clearly, the coaches are not looking for the best and brightest. Perhaps they see too much competition for themselves.

clearly Christina doesn't no what she is doing she voted the best singer from her team what was she thinking even Adam was shaking his head and Celo wow! now with Blake that was a tough choice but Raelynn wasn't that great tonight and should have went home but this is my opinion

Christina must be on some type of weight loss drug that effects your brain! Eliminate Jesse, come on. He was the best there. Just shows Jesse should have picked Adam as his coach.

Is Christina out of her mind? she just lost any chance of winning

Way to go NBC….your new 'twist' just took one of the fan favorites off the show. Jesse was robbed and so were we by not letting the audience vote for him. What in the hell was Christina thinking. She put an average, at best 'lounge' singer and a girl has yet to sing on key ahead of Jesse. What a shame. One of the most disgusting turn of events I've ever witnessed in this type of programing…just when I thought no talent show could suck as much as American Idol…you proved me wrong. Jesse you deserved better!
Angelic Flyer Says:

I could not believe my ears when Christina eliminated Jessie. What was she thinking??? However, I believe God has something much better for Jessie than Christina or The Voice. This show was somewhat of a stepping stone for him. Same think with Jennifer Hudson. Idol idiots let her go, and look at her now. Jessie's elimination gives me one less show to watch on Monday . I know NBC could not really care about one viewer, but that's ok too. The Voice has fallen into my category with Idol and X-Factor – trash!

I think Christina is a self centered moron. She will never win this
Kat Casey Says:
April 18th, 2012 at 9:59 am
I think Cristina's narcissism got the better of her. I think she made it personal. I think she needed the contestants to show case "her creativity" and "ability to extend an artist as a coach".
Are we moving to form over content?
Jessie eliminated because "some people could take advice on board more then others" – a psychologist's field day this one is…enough for a whole conference here! Kat

We have a teammate that rides a Topend Force and we're looking at tinkering with his ride.a bit. He wants to start by building some new wheels and has decided he wants a set of American Classic bolt-ons. Unfortunately, these seem to have been discontinued. Does anyone have a line on where to get some or maybe has a pair they would be willing to part with? Thanks in advance.
Other performance hubs are likely acceptable. Our rider is approximately 160lbs.

Will Amanda Knox face retrial?
American student Amanda Knox will learn on Monday whether she will face a retrial for the murder of Meredith Kercher while they were studying in Perugia in 2007.PT0M0S 620 349
A lawyer says Amanda Knox is "very anxious" as Italy's top criminal court hears arguments from prosecutors appealing her acquittal in the murder of her roommate.
Lawyer Luciano Ghirga said he spoke to Knox by phone.
The Court of Cassation on Monday is considering prosecutors' contentions that the 2011 acquittals of American Knox and her Italian ex-boyfriend in the murder of British student Meredith Kercher should be thrown out and a new trial ordered.
Prosecutors in Italy can appeal acquittals. In the first trial, Knox and Raffaele Sollecito were convicted of the 2007 murder in the university town of Perugia and given long prison sentences. They were acquitted on appeal and Knox returned to the US.
Defence lawyers argue the 2011 acquittals were justified. The court could rule later on Monday.

Some libertarian leftist slams me on a blog, that brought 40 whole readers over here…
Anyhow… here's what the Anarchist wrote:
looks like Lew Rockwell's strategy of printing non-anarchist essays snagged a state-lover. When Lew showed his true nature, anti-state, this person thought he was being anti-American. Hey, Pat. I love my country, but I hate your government. And so does Lew. When you're ready to stop pointing guns at people over every little thing, we can talk. But I'm not going to close comments on my blog, like you did on yours. Afraid of a little debate, eh?
via WTF?: Starting to really wonder about Lew Rockwell's Blog | End the War on Freedom.
3 years ago, when I first started blogging; I would have ripped this person a new one. But seeing that I am a bit more refined than this guy. I will simple answer the questions.
- No, I am not a Statist.
- If you so hate this Government; which is an extension of this country; so much, why don't you leave? Nothing is keeping you here.
- I will stop pointing Guns at people, when people like the Islamic Terrorists, (I know, Islamic, Terrorist = Redundancy) that you lefties just love to death, stop trying to kill people.
The whole problem with you lefty anarchists is this, you love chaos, and that chaos is used to forum a vacuum; which is quickly filled by big Government. Which I totally despise. Kinda like I despise the Socialism of your Democratic Cousins. (Again, Democrats, Socialism = Redundancy)
The problem with the puritan stance on the Libertarian foreign policy is that it is rooted in flawed thinking and conspiracy theory. Hence the reason that Ron Paul looked like a damn buffoon. He is absolutely right on Iran and So are you. I give you that; but Afghanistan is another story. Those bastards that flew those planes into the trade centers were not Jews, Not Christians, not anything, but Muslims, Islamic men. Terrorists? The whole damn religion is a religion of war.
The whole idea, that according to the Libertarian idea of foreign policy is that if we are attacked, we should just sit and take it and not do nothing; is idiotic at best. Hence the reason I am not involved in that party, in a formal manner. I agree with the principles of free enterprise and capitalism. But that party loses me, when they beginning to speak of the federal Government in conspiratorial terms. I just do not believe that the Government is smart enough to do anything, like they believe that it does; much less keep it a secret.
Also, let me say another thing. Libertarians; especially those of the Libertarian left or anarchists is this. They hate our Country and it's form of lawful Government. In the name of so-called freedom, they commit acts of, yes, terrorism. To further their political agenda. Kind of like Bill Ayers. Yes, that is correct, I said it. Al-Aqaeda and the Libertarian left have much in common. They both hate our Country and our values system, our freedom and our Capitalist system. It was this same attitude that was on the mind of those who flew those planes into the trade centers. It is a sad thing to say, but it is the truth.
Admittedly, there have been times, when the Federal Government has overstepped it's bounds. I have blogged about many instances where this has happened. That is why you have Conservatives and Right-libertarians, like myself, who have blogs, like me, that throw up the red flag and bring this sort of nonsense to the attention of the American people. This causes the Government, like in recent times to go, "Ooops! Our Bad!" and make changes to correct those mistakes. This is why people like me believe that big Government is BAD GOVERNMENT! Because of it's tendency to make very stupid and sometimes horrific mistakes. Case in point; Waco, Ruby Ridge, and so on….
In fact, anyone that has read this blog, more than just coming and read one entry knows; that I am totally anti-centralized Government. In fact, I, like many of my Southern Paleo-Conservatives believe that Abraham Lincoln was a traitor. Not because he freed the slaves; but because he introduced a centralized form of Government. Not to mention the form of barbarism or as it called today; Terrorism that he inflicted on the south, in a war; that was not even fought remotely fair.
Having said all that……. I did answer his accusations of me not wanting a debate. I do close comments here after 10 days. Because I hate getting comments about something that I wrote like, a year ago and have go back and see what they heck they are talking about. Running a blog is all about being current and fresh. Not about harping on the past. Hence the reason they automatically close. I think he wants a blog fight or a argument. I just don't desire to debate people that I disagree with; it doesn't change a damn thing. All it does is cause problems, and I just do not need it, nor want it.

The price was right, but this rug is NOT gray. As other people commented it's more of a light green color - not a terrible color by any means but it just did not look like the picture which showed a light gray & white striped. The rug is a low pile so it's fine for a bedroom but I probably wouldn't put it somewhere that you want a very cushy rug underfoot. A carpet pad might help this issue though.RECOMMENDED: Yes!
Just right thickness (about 1/4 inch but soft and slightly plush) and nice subtle coloring.RECOMMENDED: Yes!
I love this rug! I got the light gray in the 7'6" x 9'6" size. The actual measurements are 115.5" x 89.5" (in case you're trying to fit it into a specific area). It's between 3/8 and 1/2" thick, so not as plush as a traditional rug, but definitely not a flat weave rug either. It's very soft underfoot, and flattened out after only a few hours. I will say that it smells quite a bit! Honestly, it smells like formaldehyde....think of dissecting animals in biology class. Hopefully the smell will be gone in a few days! The colors are pretty well displayed on the website, the gray is definitely a warm taupe gray with some greenish undertones. Definitely not a cool/blue gray. The white is off white, but definitely not anything too ...RECOMMENDED: Yes!

As 2010 came to a close, things looked a little bleak for director James Gray. The long-gestating adaptation of "The Lost City Of Z" with Brad Pitt attached to star fell apart when the actor left the project (there should be a support group started for directors burned by Pitt leaving their projects) and rumors swirled that Gray had butted heads with Paramount over how much he should be paid. Well, Gray has put that all behind him and is forging ahead in 2011 with a brand new project, one that is far cry from the familial tales for brotherhood in "The Yards" and "We Own The Night" and European flavor of "Two Lovers."
Deadline reports that Gray has signed on to direct the very blockbuster sounding "The Gray Man." Based on the book by Mark Greaney and penned by Adam Cozad (who also wrote the upcoming Jack Ryan reboot for Paramount) the film follows a former CIA operative-turned ultimate assassin, targeted by a powerful multinational corporation, who must fight his way across Europe and past special forces teams from around the world in order to save the life of his handler and the handler's family. And before you roll your eyes, and drum up the Jason Bourne comparisons, Gray has a very unique approach to how he will shoot the project.
Gray plans to shoot the film from the perspective of the assassin, citing the excellent car chase sequence from "We Own The Night" as an example of what audiences can expect from the film. "Almost every shot was from Joaquin's point of view, inside that car, and I want to make a whole movie with that POV," Gray said. He adds that while he admires Paul Greengrass' approach on the 'Bourne' films, he wants to go in a totally different direction. "What he did was a documentary-style objective approach, and he owns that style. I want to do the opposite, which feels like a good way to sympathize with a professional hitman. You humanize him by never distancing yourself from his experience. This story has emotional stakes that enable me to do that."
Frankly, it sounds great, and Gray has a completely underrated visual eye that has served him well in his dramatic features and we excited to see what he'll bring to the table in straight up action thriller. The project is set up at New Regency though it's not yet known exactly when it will go in front of cameras. The script is undergoing a rewrite by Cozad and will be Gray's next picture, though he also has his own "personal" project he's writing also in the works. Here's the book synopsis from Amazon and you can check out the chase sequence from "We Own The Night" below:
In Greaney's fast-paced, fun debut thriller, Court The Gray Man Gentry, a former CIA operative now renowned as the ultimate killer for hire, is on the job in Syria and Iraq. To his shock, he learns that a team sent in to rescue him now has him targeted for elimination. On the run, Gentry slowly realizes that huge forces are marshaling against him, from his former government to the one man in England he always trusted. With unbelievable powers of survival, the Gray Man eludes teams of killers and deadly traps, while the reader begins to cheer for this unlikely hero. Cinematic battles and escapes fill out the simplistic but satisfying plot, and Greaney deftly provides small details to show Gentry's human side, offset by the petty rivalries and greed of his enemies.

04/28/2011, La Paz
After a couple of good nights sleep in Bahia de los Muertos, we headed up to Isla Espiritu Santo for a few days. This island is stunning and has so many places to anchor. Our first anchorage was Puerto Ballena on the south end of the island. It is one of the less popular anchorages and we had it to ourselves for the first 24 hours. The reason for this is that in this bay there are some small flies known as Bobo's. They land on you but don't bite. We put up the sunshades and we weren't bothered by them anymore. We enjoyed a beautiful afternoon of swimming and hiking on the beach for shells. After a great day and a great dinner, we were in bed early because we had gotten up at 5 that morning to make the trip from Muertos.
About an hour after going to sleep, we were woken up by a howling wind in the rigging. Looks like it was a Coromuel wind which is a local (to this area) wind that comes up at night. It really blew hard and Ian decided to lay in the cockpit for a couple of hours on anchor watch. He came back to bed around 3:30 as the wind seemed to be dying. About an hour later it started up again but we knew that the anchor was well set so we just went back to sleep.
We spent another day there swimming, fishing and hiking and hanging out and again another night with a Coromuel. By now we are getting used to 20+ knot winds blowing all night.
We moved to another bay on our 3rd day on the island called Ensenada Grande and WOW! It is so beautiful. There are 4 white sand beaches in this anchorage. The colours of the water go from deep blue to the palest of greens as the water shallows out towards the beach. I don't think I'll ever get tired of the colour of the water here.
The four of us (our friends Pat and Les are with us) decided to do a hike up the valley which we were told was an hour each way. We had good intentions of starting early but it was 10 am before we got going. The hike started out flat and gradually got steeper as we went up. We were going up what looked like a creek bed although I don't know when it last saw water. About an hour and a half into the hike, I almost quit and turned around it was so hot. But I mustered on and am glad that I did. It turned into about a 3 hour hike for us and boy was it hot right in the middle of the day. The first thing we did when we got down was strip down into our undies and t-shirts and jump in the water to cool down. Another perfect day and another Coromuel that night!
The next day we headed south to an anchorage called Balandra just around the corner from La Paz. Another beautiful place. We walked from the beach at Balandra to a beach called Tecolote Beach and there enjoyed a meal and a few margaritas at a restaurant - the first money we spent in 5 days! That night we had our worst Coromuel yet. Ian spent a part of the night in the cockpit again as there were lots of boats upwind of us and he wanted to make sure they didn't drag down on us. I hardly slept a wink as the wind was so loud. We don't have a wind speed indicator on our boat, but both Ian and I agree that the wind was around 30 knots with stronger gusts. It was after 4 am before I finally fell asleep and even then I kept waking up as the wind screamed through the rigging. It's beautiful here but I'll be happy to be out of the Coromuel range which is about 70 miles north of here.
We are now in the charming town of La Paz and have decided to stay at a marina for a couple of weeks. We have some maintenance things to do on the boat and it's so much easier when you are at the dock. Our friends Pat and Les left today to return home and we will miss them. We had such a great time again and it was really great to have company for the almost 2 day crossing from Mazatlan. So we will be in La Paz till around the 9th of May before we start heading more northwards.
04/20/2011, En route to Isla Espiritu Santo
In the last blog, we were doing a passage across the Sea of Cortez from Mazatlan to Bahai de los Muertos which was about 190 miles. The trip took us 38 hours and we sailed only about 2 hours the rest of it we were motor sailing because of course the wind was mostly on the nose. We saw lots of sea turtles, rays. some whales and towards the last day lots of dolphins including a great dolphin show right beside the boat with one dolphin jumping out of the water 5 feet away from the boat and jumping about 12 feet high - twice!! We also had
lots of them swimming in the bow wake and got some good video and photos which I will post when I get a good internet connection.
The other thing that was spectacular was the colour of the water. In the middle of the sea it became this amazing blue colour that I think of as sapphire. Stunning.
We arrived in Bahai de los Muertos (Bay of the Dead) at 10:30 pm and by 11 we had the anchor down in calm conditions with a slight SW breeze. At about 3 am we woke up to the winds howling through the achorage at about 20 knots. This was our first Coromuel Wind which is a common night time wind that happens in this area in certain conditions. This one only lasted about an hour and then it settled right back down to nothing.
We woke up in the morning after a great sleep to calm clear Emerald Green water! WOW the colour is so beautiful. I am going to love the baja I know it. And we could see down 25 feet to the bottom. We had a very leisurely morning and then the 4 of us went ashore for a walk on the beach followed by some snorkeling over a beautiful reef. Lots of fish to see down there.
Around 5 pm there was a cruisers get together on the beach with about 15 boats in attendance. Nice to meet everyone and catch up with those we already knew. Arriving there on the beach we had a bit of a surf landing to do and with 4 in the dingy it was a bit different. Pat and Les got out and then I jumped out and tried to turn to help pull the dingy in and instead got pushed over by it and down on my butt into the water! A great way to make an entrance.
Around 7 pm the 4 of us headed over to the restaurant on the beach now called 1535 previously called The Giggling Marlin. We had an awesome dinner. Very good food and lots on the plate - too much in fact. Back on board Kasasa around 9:30 pm and off to bed as we wanted to get an early start in the morning.
Ian and I got up at 6 am and let our guests sleep in as we got the anchor up and the boat underway. We are heading to Isla Espiritu Santo which is an island off of La Paz with lots of good anchorages around it. It's about a 45 mile run from Bahia de los Muertos which will take us 9 or 10 hours. So hopefully by 4pm we will be dropping the anchor and pouring ourselves a margarita as we enjoy another great day!
04/17/2011, Enroute to Bahai de los Muertos
We had a wonderful email on Wednesday last week from our friends Pat and Les, the couple who sailed for two weeks with us when we left San Diego. They were tired of winter and needed a break and was our offer of having them return still open. Well of course it was so I emailed back and then a few phone calls later and we were picking them up at the airport on Friday afternoon. They had the option of sailing across to the Baja with us or to meet us over there and they took the sailing across option!! Yippee as it makes for a much more restful and fun passage with more than 2 people aboard and it's a 185 mile passage. So Friday we picked them up and we spent Saturday visiting with friends on another boat called Tanque de Tiburon with Bill and Linda aboard. We finished our provisioning and we were up at 7 am this morning ready to go. It was very foggy out as we left the harbour in Mazatlan but with the radar on no problem getting out. Right now we are about 20 miles out and the seas are calm and flat and we are motoring along. There is supposed to be 10 to 15 from the SW so we will see if that happens. In the meantime we are relaxed and enjoying the ride and seeing lots of small rays and sea turtles. We think we saw a marlin but not exactly sure. Our plan is to anchor out in various bays around the La Paz area for a week or so and then head into La Paz for a few days. Les and Pat will leave us from there and take the bus down to San Jose del Cabo and fly home from there. It's so nice to have them back on the boat again as we had such a great time the last time they were with us. Well I'd better try sending this off via the radio, it's been awhile since I used it I hope I can remember how. 5 Hours Later Couldn't get this email through so I'll try again now. The sun has just set and the full moon has just risen so we will have a well lit night. Still motoring with a bit of wind on the nose.
04/11/2011, San Blas
The photo was taken by Linda on Tanque de Tiburon
So we are back where we belong in the water again. We got all of the work done that we wanted to and a few other things besides. Ian traced a battery problem we have been having and has hopefully fixed it for good.
We went back in about noon today and went right to work on cleaning the inside and the topsides as it gets very dirty in a boat yard. You are always walking on pavement and tracking in dirt and dust. We actually managed to keep the boat fairly clean inside considering but it still felt good to wash the floors and countertops of dust.
I have to say that I would highly recommend San Blas as a destination to haul out your boat to do maintenance. For a haul out, pressure wash, 7 days on the hard and 3 days at the marina we paid 365 canadian dollars. The staff we very proficient and professional and courteous. The grounds and marina were always keep clean and there we always upgrades going on in various areas of the marina.
Tomorrow we are leaving here around 6:30 am and heading north to Mazatlan. We had hoped to go straight across to La Paz but it's a 3 day trip and we only have a good weather window for 2 days so we will go to Mazatlan as we can get there in 2 days. The winds are supposed to blow on Thurs and Fri quite strong so we will wait that out and hopefully cross to La Paz on Sat or Sun. It is also a 2 day crossing. So lots of travel in the next few days.
We are really looking forward to the Sea of Cortez. We both have been dreaming of it for a few years now. The clear, warm water and the desert backdrop, with lots of wildlife and fish. That will be our next 6 months or so. We've enjoyed the mainland but are ready for a change.
Well it's off to bed as we have an very early start tomorrow.
It is great that your dreams are coming true. We will be thinking of you and wishing you clear sailing.
Love always.
04/09/2011, San Blas
Whew! I think we are done. Day 5 we painted the bottom with blue ablative bottom paint, Day 6 Edwardo cut polished the hull, Ellen continued her sewing project, Ian finished up with putting on zincs and cleaning up and Day 7 Edwardo finished with a coat of wax on the hull, Ellen and Ian put some gromets in the cockpit shade screens and gave a final coat of black to the boot stripe. So tomorrow or Monday we will go back into the water. Once we get the boat cleaned up inside and topsides, and re-provision the almost empty fridge, we will look for the next weather window to head up to Mazatlan. It's been a 'BUSY' week.
This morning before we started working, we went to the local Saturday morning market. I'll post some photos. It was an interesting market and we found some things that surprised us. One of which was a hole punch the exact size we needed to place gromets in our sunshades. For less than a dollar we got a tool we had a hard time finding in Puerto Vallarta! And we experienced a new fruit called a Jackfruit or a Breadfruit. YUMMY! It's kinda a cross between an orange, a papaya, guva and banana. Very very good. I also found a nice skirt and a pair of shorts for about 6 bucks. There are a lot of second hand clothing stalls at the market.
So I'm hoping this is the last blog 'on the hard'. The novelty of living in a boat yard has worn off. We need to feel the water under our keel again. Look in the gallery for more haul out pics which I added to the existing ones.
What fabric did you use for the sun shades?
04/06/2011, San Blas
Day 3 on the hard we finished the prep work for the new boot stripe. It was too late in the day to paint so we knocked off early and had a relaxing evening.
Day 4 and the boot stripe job is complete. I think it turned out pretty good. It's not smooth and shiny like a real boot stripe should be but hey if it keeps those pesky barnacles away who cares. Advice to those who are planning to come south with your boat. If you are even thinking of raising your waterline, raise it more than you think you need so that you don't find yourself in this position doing it again when you should be out swimming, snorkeling, sailing, beach combing etc.
Since we are out of the water, tomorrow we are going to slap a coat of ablative bottom paint on the bottom. It's not really critical right now but it will save us from hauling out again in 8 months or so. And on Friday we have hired a guy to come and clean and polish the haul for us.
My sewing project is coming along but I wish I had invested in a sturdier machine. My cheap little Kenmore is being pushed past it's potential I think. I spend a fair bit of time pulling out the bobbin and cleaning up thread from the machine getting stuck. It works fine with one or two layers of fabric but any more than that it just won't sew. I've also gone through about 5 needles.
I just want to give a little plug here for the marina in San Blas for any one who is thinking of coming this way. It really is a nice little marina. It's small only about 15 or so slips, but the marina has a lot of good facilities. Really clean and nice bathrooms and showers although the water is on the cool side in the showers, a swimming pool, laundry machines, small store and one of the yummiest little restaurants which we just discovered today. We ordered an Ararachara (beef) burrito to share for lunch today and when the owner/chef brought it out I was surprised to see it looked like something from a high end restaurant in Vancouver. The presentation was beautiful with the burrito cut in half, covered with shoestring french fries and the plate drizzeled with a raspberry sauce. I didn't have the camera with me or I would have photographed it for sure. And it was DELICIOUS! We will be eating there again I'm sure. 3 beer and the burrito which was big enough for us both, cost 115 peso or about 9 dollars.

How to Prevent Leg Cramps
Don't you just hate those painful cramps in your leg? Here are ways to prevent and treat them.
1Understand what they are and what causes them. Leg cramps are muscle contractions, typically in the hamstrings, calves, and quadriceps. There are a number of things that may be causing your leg cramps, including medications you may be taking, muscle exhaustion or fatigue, dehydration or nutritional imbalances. Consider which of these may be causing them. Sometimes there are unknown causes of muscle contractions, so if you can't seem to figure it out, that's okay.
2Avoid extremely vigorous exercising. Train up to it gradually, and always pace yourself. Also stretch before (warm-up) and after (cool-down) workouts.
3Stay hydrated. Get enough water and replenish after exercising.
4Eat nutritionally. Make sure you get enough of the 'big' vitamins: A, the B vitamins, C, and D.
5Stretch regularly. Some good stretches for the legs: the calf stretch (stand on a raised platform, such as the steps, a stool, a chair, etc, and let your heels hang off the edge; you should feel this fairly intensely in your calves) the hamstring stretch (on that same platform, step on with one heel and your foot flexed, keep your leg and back straight and lean forward at the hips), the straddle (keep your back straight as you spread your legs out to the sides), and the splits (you may already be familiar with this stretch; step forward with one foot and slide forward as your other leg spreads back).
6If you do get a leg cramp anyway, there are several remedies that may help. Try stretching the muscle that is contracting, this may help. Taking a hot bath or shower also helps relax the muscle, as well as massaging the affected area.
7When walking, curl your toes a bit up to put your weight on the ball of your foot. Check the bottom of your foot and shoe and notice how you have been walking. Shifting your weight from your toes to the ball of your foot will decrease the stress on your calf.
8Wear sweatpants, pajamas or leg warmers when sleeping. If you are not using leg warmers, do not use long shorts. When using long shorts and your calves get too cold, because it is such a small area you will usually not awaken from the cold which can cause a cramp and especially if combined with muscle fatigue.

Emergency services rush to help 'fake' heart attack man in Malmesbury (From This Is Wiltshire)
Emergency services rush to help 'fake' heart attack man in Malmesbury
Updated 5:58pm Wednesday 23rd October 2013 in By Victoria Latchman
A man who police say faked a cardiac arrest received CPR from an unsuspecting member of the public in Malmesbury today.
Emergency services were allegedly duped into thinking a man had been knocked off his bike and was in cardiac arrest in the High Street this afternoon.
Sergeant Martin Alvis confirmed that the air ambulance, police and ambulance crews were called to Lower High Street at about 2.45pm to find that the man is someone known to the emergency services for fake call-outs.
The ambulance crew had been diverted from another call in order to attend the call-out in Malmesbury.
The time-waster is believed to have been drinking before the incident; no one else was involved.
Sgt Alvis said: "I spoke to him and he apologised profusely.
"I pointed out the implications of what he had done.
"The ambulance was on its way to Swindon and had to turn round and come back to see him.
"We will be working with the ambulance service, and him, to reduce these calls in future."
Police said that the man involved has been known to call for an ambulance two to three times a month, up to a couple of years ago.
Wiltshire Air Ambulance paramedics confirmed they were called out, and had taken off, and had planned to land behind the police station, however, they were given notice to stand down as they made their way to Malmesbury.
No one has been arrested.

That's alright then. And it's a shame no-one had explained to it before.
"We will be working with the ambulance service, and him, to reduce these calls in future."
Reduce? So a lesser number of hoax calls will be acceptable? I thought making hoax calls was a crime. So we've all agreed that this 'person' can commit some crimes, so long as it's not too many?

Got a minute?
Got a minute?
Who's good at multitasking? No one, according to a spate of recent studies, collected by Tom Bartlett at The Chronicle of Higher Education -- or at least, no one multitasks well enough to make it more efficient than doing one thing at a time. There's also a startling lack of concrete evidence that women multitask better than men.
(Photo Credit: ryantron./Flickr)
This flies in the face of the commonly accepted wisdom that women can do more than one thing at a time -- or at least, switch between tasks more efficiently -- than men. Bartlett quotes Sir Ken Robinson's TED Talk on the subject, in which he posits that physical differences in male and female brains make women better at doing more than one thing at once.
"Perhaps, the thinking goes, this difference is rooted in our evolution: While men were off spearing elk, women were starting a fire, watching a toddler, kibitzing with one another, fending off a bear, etc.," Bartlett writes.
It's a neat idea, and one that seems to make sense. There's just one problem: there's no definitive, scientific proof that it's correct.
One study finds that women are better at switching back and forth between tasks on a computer; another, similar study finds that men are. Both most research agrees on one thing: everyone is faster when they perform one task at a time.
"For many years the psychology research has shown that people can only attend to one task at a time," writes Susan Weinschenk, Ph.D. at Psychology Today. "Let me be even more specific. The research shows that people can attend to only one cognitive task at a time. You can only be thinking about one thing at a time. You can only be conducting one mental activity at a time. So you can be talking or you can be reading. You can be reading or you can be typing. You can be listening or you can be reading. One thing at a time."
There you have it. Even if future research eventually does find evidence that women (or men) are better at multitasking, it won't change the fact that everyone is pretty terrible at it. Male or female, doing one thing at a time is still your best bet, if you want to get stuff done.

There is a game changing decision hanging in the balance on the state redistricting saga.
A quick recap: The state redistricting commission released maps for Senate, Assembly and Congressional districts last August. Republicans filed suit to block the Senate maps, only to be rebuffed by the state Supreme Court. A Republican support group then launched a signature drive to qualify referendum in order to block implementation of the new Senate districts. The group, called Fairness and Accountability in Redistricting (FAIR), recently filed a petition asking the court to reconsider given the fact that the group has submitted more than 711,000 signatures in order to qualify the referendum for the November general election. FAIR asked the Supreme Court to prepare for the referendum qualifying for the ballot by directing the Secretary of State to use the previous Senate district maps or combining two new Assembly districts for every Senate seat for the 2012 election. The petition also asks for a special master on redistricting.
If the referendum to qualifies for the ballot the Supreme Court would be forced to decide which maps to use for 20 Senate elections this year – the commission's versions, the previous districts or a set of court-devised ones. Complicating the issue further, the commission's maps also are under scrutiny of the U.S. Justice Department for compliance with the Voting Rights Act, with a decision due by next week unless the department seeks more time.
As reported last week, signatures submitted in support of the referendum' did not survive a random sample test of their validity. As a result a full hand count of the signature has been ordered which is expected to take about six weeks to complete.
In arguments before the State Supreme Court this last week lawyers for Secretary of State Bowen and the citizens commission argued that if the court needs to act because the referendum is likely to qualify, it should use the commission's maps. Republican attorney Charles Bell countered that the old districts "with modification" could be used in 2012, or the court could create new Senate maps by combining the commission's 80 Assembly districts into 40 Senate districts. From the judges questioning of the parties it appears that the court expects the referendum to qualify and are poised to act but are still in a quandary as to a solution.
Meanwhile, it's still uncertain whether the Justice Department will give its approval to the commission's Senate maps, which have been criticized for diminishing Latinos' chances of electing senators.
The Supreme Court is expected to decide whether they will be taking action next week.

First, I got this username this morning. I have never posted anything, anywhere under any username of any kind. I apologize for my typos and my naiveté from the outset.
Disclaimers and background: I have been reading this message board for several years. I own personally well over 1 million shares of Siga. I have been investing and trading in the stock market for over 30 years both professionally and privately. I am retired now. My average cost, though it should have no impact on my decision making, for about 700,000 shares is 3.25. The rest of my stock is harder to know exactly (because the on line software is pretty weak) but is certainly under 4 dollars. I am sorry I can't be exact.
Why post here now? Well I shouldn't be doing it but Judge Parson's will rule eventually and I want to be out there before he does. What will he rule this time? Clearly I don't know. It is very clear what he believes and how he thinks Don Drapkin and Ron Perlman should be treated. I personally think he is wrong about his beliefs but they are what they are. More on that in a minute. It seems most likely to me that he finds another way to give approximately ½ of the economic benefit of ST 246 to PIP. That is my investment assumption. I honestly have no idea with corporate law and my understanding of it how he does that. The extremes: he gives PIP as much as he possibly can - reliance -- the drug itself -- and Siga collects a royalty on sales. Imagine that for a 3 million dollar loan over an extraordinarily short time that was paid back with interest. Astonishing if so. The other extreme: he gives into the Siga lawyers and their arguments that no matter how badly the actors on Siga's side behaved there is no remedy is this court for their action. He awards them 15mm dollars, a wildly exaggerated damages amount.
Back to what actually happened with the merger agreement and the optional LATS agreement in case the merger wasn't consummated. In reality the merger agreement seemed real.
You are so fos! The largest individual stockholder in Siga is the infamous Dr. Eric Rose with 472,897 shares. So yes, you are both a fool and a liar!
I think you have posted many times under different user names the same old worn out arguments. You are either a liar or a fool or both. You do not own over a million shares of Siga . . . only an absolute fool would. Good try and thanks for playing.
Calculated, everything you say makes sense. Thank you for explaining your viewpoint.
I'm with you, it's hard to appreciate PIP's case against SIGA. Then you raise the interesting question, what is the market for ST-246 ? Someplace on the CSPAN website there is video of the original hearings when Congress first set up BARDA. It seemed like the witnesses and that one congressional committee really wanted to support small companies to research biodefense drugs, and allow them to make money on the sales. Now I'm not an expert, but one gets the general feeling that the funding does not live up to that vision. The obvious next thought is that some event could re-awaken big interest in biodefense, including by the congress. Let's hope no scary things happen ever, but they might.
Sentiment: Hold
Sorry - I am replying to my own post. No idea how I am supposed to continue.
Yes, the merger attempt seemed real but once it wasn't finalized by PIP coming up with the cash (and it would have been if they had). The LATS was, in nearly all but one very narrow case, doomed from the outset. This of course was all because of the Non Human Trial results being released. If in fact the drug worked, it was worth 10,100 even 1000 times more than Siga was asking - IF it didn't work and the monkeys died it was worth exactly zero. PIP would never have followed through with the LATS in that case just as SIGA could never follow through if it in fact was the cure. The very real chance that the trial was indeterminate (some lived - some died) then the LATS was likely a good "jumping off place".
Judge Parsons in my opinion has been jaded by the questionable cast of characters Siga put in front of him. He has mistakenly confused their behavior in his court with the legal issues at hand. He in essence is agreeing that PIP should have a free call on wether the NHP trials were successful -- THEY SHOUD NOT.
I could go on for many pages. But consider this -- If in fact PIP "knew" what ST 246 was worth back 7 years ago why did they not buy Siga's stock at 1/200 of that value? Why did they not make another offer for the company? Their actions in no way reflect what they profess rabidly today. Judges make mistakes every day. My assumption is again that his mistake stands in one way or another and PIP gets about ½ of the economics. I do own about 75,000 shares of PIP, just for fair disclosure. On to RISK/REWARD of owning Siga in that case.
Assume 50% to Siga. -- Once this trial is over - after appeals have run their course, is it actually believable that BARDA, HHS, and CDC have gone to this trouble to buy 2mm courses of a smallpox drug? Don't be ridiculous. They have stated a need of 12mm courses and I believe the real number is 2 or 3 times that amount. yes CMX001 may well work
CMX may well work -- but it is not a drug to be given prophylactically - the side effects are not even close to acceptable. The smallpox drug race is over - no one else will pay the entry fee. ST 246 is your winner. Hopefully we will never need it. Somehow I doubt that though. For a couple of billion dollars in a trillion dollar budget we don't have to take that risk.
Do you people actually know what is going on with the FDA? I do not but I have some ideas. I think the animal rule was made for exactly this scenario and I think they will in fact approve the drug. If we have a catastrophe human created or natural, do they want to be responsible for keeping this drug from citizens? If it is approved why is the market size? Only doomsdaypreppers? Only foreign governments? (Do you think Teva doesn't already make this drug for Israel? I am not sure but if I were a leader there they would - I also think when the dust settles a deal will be done. Finally a place where Perlman might actually be an asset). I am not going to do the math for you -- But an FDA approved drug, foreign sales to our allies who arguably need it worse than we, and healthcare facilities stockpiling for first responders, as well as those more cautious about the future than I -- This is a massive market for a drug that cures and prevents one of the very worst diseases known of all time. Imagine it could be used as a weapon (again - only on a regional scale) -- imagine.
Well I know the downside -- Siga's stock goes to zero -- BTW, they have in my estimation 135mm in cash as I type this - they are hiding it wherever they can.. AND they have no debt.(Companies with no debt - don't go under) Do you guys on the short side know the upside -- I'm just saying -- a little over 55mm shares -- with billions of dollars in potential sales (50% aftertax margin) and a 20% per year replacement market for date expired drug. Honestly, it's an extraordinarily high number.
Thanks for reading, GLTA.

an independent judiciary, Hahn said in an interview to business daily Handelsblatt.
Finance Minister of the northern state of Schleswig-Holstein Monika Heinold expressed doubts about Fitschen's suitability to continue as co-chairman of Deutsche Bank.
Germany is not a country where criminal investigators will have to stand permanently at the doors of a large bank. Fitschen must understand this, she said.
Carsten Schneider, budget policy spokesman of the opposition Social Democratic Party (SPD), urged Deutsche Bank supervisory board chairman Paul Achleitner to take speedy action to clear up the allegations against the bank.
He should also make sure that the management board fully cooperates with the investigators, Schneider said.
Meanwhile, prominent German judges joined politicians in their criticism of Fitschen.
