Maywood has declared itself a sanctuary city and closed its traffic division at the urging of illegal aliens and their supporters after too many cars were being towed because those stopped didn't have driver's licenses. There are also pushes in the community to rename elementary schools after former Mexican President Benito Juarez. Maywood also had police stand by during an anti illegal immigration rally as Mexican reconquistas and illegal aliens raised a Mexican flag over the post office.
When immigrants, both legal and illegal, come here and don't assimilate, they bring their form of "justice, law and government" with them - all of which are corrupt in their home countries.
The Times story focuses on the 37 member all male police department, they deem as a "haven for misfit cops" and found that a third have previous criminal histories or suspicions of such, but the problem is obviously widespread throughout the community. Other law enforcement communities refer to Maywood police as the department of "second chances".
Among those on the job: A former Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy terminated for abusing jail inmates; a onetime Los Angeles Police Department officer fired for intimidating a witness; and an ex-Huntington Park officer charged with negligently shooting a handgun and driving drunk.
... included [are] accusations that police and city leaders were on the take from the owner of a local tow company; that a longtime officer was extorting sex from relatives of a criminal fugitive; that a police officer tried to run over the president of the Maywood Police Commission in the parking lot of City Hall; that an officer impregnated a teenage police explorer; and that officers had covered up the truth.

In addition, the newly appointed police chief has a suspicious past.
Back in August of 2006 I covered the Save Our State rally in Maywood where cars of the protesters were vandalized and had their tires slashed, a woman was assaulted as well as a 70-year-old man who was slashed and the police stood by and did nothing.
Arriving at the rally, the setup by the police was such that the protesters were actually forced to walk through illegal alien thugs in order to get to their location. During this trek, a woman protester was assaulted and beaten as police stood by and watched. On top of this, because of the parking situation, a number of the protesters cars were attacked and damaged by illegal aliens who saw them arrive. A few cars were spray painted and numerous car's tires were slashed.
I would deem Maywood, California the face of things to come in American cities across the country if illegal immigration is not put in check and if legal immigrants are not expected to assimilate. Currently the path this country is on will allow corruption to flow out of control. We no longer seem to care if immigrants assimilate. Groups, businesses and even our governments throughout the country support these unwilling immigrants by providing massive amounts of Spanish language channels, translation services, handholding and directions on how to apply for social services or file lawsuits soon after they arrive in this country.
Now none of this is wrong when it comes to helping newly arrived legal immigrants, but the fact is that this is not a short time program to help them get going on their feet and fit into American society. It is a concerted effort to allow third world communities to flourish within the United States with no loyalty or willingness to adapt to our way of government and beliefs.
Maywood is just an example of a community overrun that then elects officials who dismantle laws in order to encourage lawlessness and the continued invasion of this country by illegal immigrants. And dare I say it, it's all purely racist in nature. There would be public outcry by groups across the country if specific laws were thrown away to protect the Black, White or Asian individuals in the community from facing responsibility for their actions, but that is specifically what Maywood has done by becoming a "sanctuary city" and getting rid of laws because they are "a burden" to the almost 100% Hispanic illegal aliens in the city.
How much longer are we going to stand by as Americans and watch this?

please look into police officer taking city vehicles home. They use the city gas card. The city vehicle is used at thier pleasure. They shouldn't have the right to do this.
Posted by: xxxx on May 28, 2007 07:22 PM
Yes, please look into the police taking their vehicles home. Perhaps you might find out that quite often, police are required to take their units home. This may be K-9 units, as an example, as the dogs go with the officers to home locations. Other times a vehicle is signed out to go out of the city for a task, the officer is closer to home at the end of his shift, and stays overnight. Some cities check the car out to the officer for his personal car also. Get a clue.
Posted by: Tom Anderson on August 16, 2007 01:21 AM
What do you expect them to do when the chief of police hires his own daughter, rewards cronies with higher paying and unbudgeted positions? Leadership begins at the top and so far sadly, there is none. What's left is a take, take, take until there is no more mentality.

I agree with you on the fact that Maywood's corrupt cops need to go, but how can you call Maywood a racist city when you yourself are sounding somewhat racist in some of your commentary. When you say that immigrants bring their form of justice, law, and government which is corrupt- how dare you stereotype all these people by saying that all of them bring this? Don't forget that all countries have a certain degree of corruption and the U.S.'s degree of corruption isn't all because of immigrants like you are insinuating. Why do they need to assimilate to what you deem "the American way" when America prides itself in its diversity? I don't see any reason why these immigrants have to change their cultural ways when they have a beautiful culture- and no corruption is not part of their culture.

THERE IS NO REASON FOR ANY RESPECTABLE WHITE AMERICAN TO BE IN MAYWOOD CALIF..LET IT BURN

A neighborhood is what it tolerates. Try pulling that flag stunt in Mexico. After the locals beat you to a pulp the police would finish the job. Our politicians are more concerned about kissing Mexican voter's asses than they are about administering the oath they took in office. Mexicali is no longer a city it's an attitude, and it's florishing in California. Excuse me: CALIFAS!
Posted by: john on June 20, 2010 11:01 PM
Why are such levels of illegal immigration tolerated?
Because Amerika has become a giant Ponzi scheme.
What do ALL ponzi schemes require to keep going?
New suckers.
Amerika is literally scraping the bottom of the 3rd world barrel to keep our ponzi going.
Of course it will fail. But it buys time. It buys another day in office, another paycheck for thousands of bureaucrats sucking at the public's tax teat.

This is amazing. We in the USa are letting these 3rd world thugs and criminals destroy and reverse years of order and a decent way of life in an extremely short time period. Mexicans, latin americans, and any and all of them here illegally need to get the %$^& out and go back to the land that they proclaim to love and work to change IT. Sadly they do not. They simply want to grab this land and its resources and infrastructure and destroy it.

If your residents are illegal, why shouldn't your police? Glad I live in the north east, it is better than what has been described! Good luck, California is a joke and we laugh at you.

The time is near when Americans will start waking up and say enough is enough. I believe a larger not smaller portion of illegal immigrants are here for all the wrong reasons (the newer generation of illegals especially) and are taking advantage of the American peoples tolerance and generosity. This newer wave of emboldened illegals are coming close to setting off a firestorm of resentment which just might be the game changer we need for getting a handle on all the gatecrashers in this country. If burning our flag and flying the Mexican flag is what it takes to get Americans pissed and motivated I welcome this behavior, keep it up.

It's hard to believe that I grew up in Maywood. Us kids played outside until after dark. Your neighbors all knew each other. There were Whites, Mexican-Americans, Cubans, Blacks; all working class, blue collar folks.
Then in the late 1970s all of the manufacturing moved out and all of the illegals started moving in. And it was "politically incorrect" to stop the takeover. Now my hometown exists in name only. I envy those of you who still have yours.
Posted by: Cliffystones on June 28, 2010 12:16 PM
This article made me cry. I was born in Maywood in 1925 and spent my childhood in the worst depression years. Nobody had money but all the neighbors and kids played together and enjoyed the simple things of life. No TV or portable radios, only 78 records and windup phonographs. We were almost all white but included a lot of LEGAL immigrants, mostly from Europe. I went to Lindbergh elementary then Loma Vista,Carmelita and finally Bell High School, after which most all of the boys went off to World War II. My Mom lived in the same house I was born in until she died in 1966. I lived there until I took a job in San Diego in 1956. I was last in Maywood about 4 years ago and we had a nice visit with the young legal Mexican family who now own my old house. They have made a lot of improvements and have definitely assimilated. I wonder what they think of the current situation. It was such a beautiful little town and we need to take it back on the way to taking back our country!
Posted by: Ruth M on June 30, 2010 05:03 AM
So how do you know the young Mexican family you spoke to are legal? Did you ask to see their passports? I agree whith people saying we have a problem with ilegal immigrants, In my opinion those who have a police record or any criminal history should be deported, not only Mexicans but also other ilegals you never hear about like Asians and Europeans.There are many ilegals who are hard working and have never been in trouble with the law nor have they abused public services, these people should be given the opportunity to get legal and provide for thier families without the fear of being fired or deported for their status.

There are many ilegals who are hard working and have never been in trouble with the law nor have they abused public services, these people should be given the opportunity to get legal and provide for thier families without the fear of being fired or deported for their status.
1) They came here knowingly illegally.
2) How did they get a legitimate job without proper legal documents? They didn't they are either working illegally or using stolen identity documents.
3) By them simply being here public services are being used. Infrastructure (roads, hospitals, police stations, fire stations) is built based on population. Therefore they are costing US taxpayers money.
I await your reply on how they are not criminals or a burden to US taxpayers simply because they didn't carjack or mug someone.
Posted by: Digger on June 30, 2010 04:46 PM
Well, let's do a lil homework here and we'll find some surprising answers.
1) Have you ever been to a 3rd world country? Do u know what a truly corrupt leadership can do to a family? Corruption is 99.9 persent of the time attached to greed. Greed is usually associated with money and land/natural resources. Greed can be so powerful that it can influence violence, which in itself can influence some to commit murder,robbery, and/or the raping of family members by people who are corrupt in their ways ( i.e. drug lords and tyrants in the government ). Now imagine urself trying to raise a family in this type of environment where even the local schools can't protect children let alone teach them. Wouldn't that be enough to make u move to the nearest free country?
And this brings us to...
2) If these people were living on stolen identity documents don't ya think they would be living in much better living conditions? I mean seriously, go to Arizona and look at the places they are willing to live in just to be able to raise their families. Most of us would not even think of living in area like those. But yet those very areas are almost paradise compared to where they're from
3) Read up on your history and study it. "Give me your tired, your poor,Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me.
I lift my lamp beside the golden door.". This is a piece of history sculpted on the Statue of Liberty. You are right about one thing, illelgals do use our public services. They do cost tax payers a little money. But ya know what ? Looking after someone who needs help is far more important than looking after our own petty stingyness. Yeah some of them are bringing drugs in or doing other illegal stuff but don't label everyone of them as being criminals because of a few bad apples. To sum it up, do your homework and put yourself in someone elses shoes before you criticize them over what you only see and don't know.
Posted by: Ibcruisn on July 1, 2010 03:39 PM
To Ibcruisn,
To sum it up you need to do your home work too by reading the Dark side of Illegal Immigration then put yourself in our shoes. It goes way beyond petty stinginess esp when your talking about millions of people. How is it that the legal immigrants here from your country and other countries can do it the right way and others dont.My great grandparents from both my parents came over here from europe the right way legally.Dont use what is on the statue of liberty meaning you can break our laws.Millions were welcomed here legally and were not turned away.You cant use your reasoning as an excuse to break the law, then were does it stop! That doesnt mean we dont feel for your situation.Besides I myself cant imagine wanting to bring children into the world you describe.Wouldnt it have been smarter to get here legally then start a family? Thats called being responsible.Dont blame your poor judgment mistakes on others especially knowing how horrible it was as you describe it.That didnt happen overnight.You dont even have to tell me about terror either because I grew up with it in my own family, not even outside in the streets, and lucky to be alive today so that just doesnt happen in 3rd world countries.So do your homework and quit making excuses for breaking the law and do what you need to do to make it better like responsible people do that get damn tired of working hard and getting nothing for free and supporting everyone else when they are have a hard time just supporting their own families.There are far more issues you brought up than causing the tax payers a little money!!!Breaking the law is a crime period, we are ALL responsible for our actions. If I break the law here I have to pay the consequences.If there werent laws in this country and they werent enforced, I guess it would become just like where you came from and nobody here wants that.Where does it stop then!!!!!
Posted by: Lilly on July 1, 2010 07:58 PM
Ur right, it does go way beyond petty stingyness. Especially when talking about thousands of people ( not millions ) that enter the country illegaly. And The Dark Side of Illegal Immigration was right on when it came to the facts. But there are some things you failed to realize. If you do some research on immigration and citizenship you'll learn that there are certain rules and doctrines pertaining to each country for gaining citizenship due to the status and details of the country of origin. The report said that there were people from 180 different special countries. Special countries is government terminology for known/active terrorst countries. That does not mean the those particular people are bad people. Most countries in Europe have it way much easier than people from most countries South of us when it comes to gaining citizenship. It's a known and proven fact. That should answer your question as to why some immigrants from around the world enter legally and others don't. Look at where there from. And then look at the reasons why they come. For many of these people, violence has always been a part of their lives since the day they were born whether they be directly involved in the violence commited or it be something that they've witnessed on a daily basis. Iraq if the perfect example of this. The reason that i mention different situations is because of the fact that there are multiple experiences that cause every human being to make the choices they do. If comming to a free country to take care of their families makes them criminals then so be it. It's better to be loved for what you are, then to be loved for what you are not. You speak of doing things like a responcible person, what could possibly be more responsible than a person taking care of their family by any means nessary. Like you said Lily, "We're all resonsible for our actions". But what you fail to realize is that sometimes to do something right, you have to do something wrong. Such as breaking the law. But getting into a free country doesn't stop there. For a person to be successful, they do have to work hard. Learn the language. Learn to be respectful and patient. But most importantly learn what it means to be an American and don't forget where ya came from.
Posted by: Ibcruisn2004 on July 2, 2010 08:27 AM
As Americans we have a right to say who comes and who goes. Illegal immigration is against the law. All other arguments on "human rights" are moot. Go argue your case to the UN.
I have addressed the Statue of Liberty and its poem in the past:
As far as going to third world countries, I have been to many. I feel their plight. I also feel that we cannot solve their problems by allowing them into our country. Your argument should be that they need to stand up and take back their country and turn it into a beacon of freedom, not that they should decide instead to break the law and affect other countries.
If you are not willing to stand up and fight for your country, you receive no sympathy from me. Live in your squalor. This goes for those sitting idly by while America deteriorates as well.
Posted by: Digger on July 2, 2010 05:22 PM
To truly understand what is like to be in a 3rd world country you have to live there and experience it. When visiting you only see a very small portion of it. You only see one side of it. I've had the unique opertunity to observe their lives and environments becuase of what i do for a living. But i've also seen it from 2 other different perspectives, the Government side, and the civilian side. Trust me when i say this, the only way that u could possibly truly understand this is to experience it snd observe it for yourself. When it comes down to it, it's not about Humand Rights, it's about Morale Law vs. Manmade laws. Most people who get turned away ( other than some peoples crimes ) is not because of what they've done but because of where their from. The person who came up with the immigration system had a very good and well thought out idea, but it needs to be redone. The current one has too many gaps in it. Just because a person is from a less dangerous country does not mean that they're a less dangerous person. Go to any military base in Iraq and Aghganistan and you'll know exactly what i mean. And ur right about one more thing, we cannot solve their problems for them, that's implausible to do. But we can give them the opportunity to learn so they can fight back. It's just like a kid to an adult, the kid's not gonna learn anything until the adult teaches it. How is America deteriorating if it prides itself in it's diversity ? As for sitting in squalor...How could u possibly label me as living in squalor ? Have u ever had to physically fight to help save a person u don't know? One of the biggest problems is that many but not all only see the problems through tunnel vision eyes and don't see the problem in it's whole. You've got to look at the entire problem and not just a part of it.

This is what LA will be like in a few years. What is truly sad is that sanctuary cities are sucking the life out of everything around them, and they have the nerve to pretend they are all "humanitarians". Disingenuous quotes such as "no person is illegal" is BS. The racism and corruption alive and well in Maywood, doesn't add up to being humanitarian, they are the basest of human traits. VIVA ARIZONA!

Since the net economic benefit of illegals to the society far
surpasses the cost, idiotic xenophobic aphorisms in this
ariticle would be a laughable waste of time if not for the fact
that they incite white trash to hatred.
That's right, I am stating the the low wages paid to illegal
immigrants far and away make up for their "cost" to society.
If you want to find corrupt police, you can find them in
many cities of all races and color.
If you want to find economic waste, look to the oligarchy
in this country. From 1947 to 1977, real hourly wages
increased at the same rate as GDP (i.e., both the middle
class and the wealthy share increase in productivity).
From 1977 to 2010, real GDP per capita doubled but
wages to workers barely went up.
Where did all the money go? To the top few percent
of the wealthy.
Then, last year, the bankers, who had essentially stolen
a few trillion dollars, were bailed out by our rulers.
Why doesn't the National Review cover that story?
The facts about the GDP and how the private system has re-distributed almost all of that to the wealthiest Americans making them more wealthy are documented very clearly in Les Leopold's very readable book:

They have to break into our country to learn from us? Your arguments are moot. Yes, the world sucks. Everyone can agree on that. There are 300+ million people in this country right now. I can probably find another 300+ million... no make that another 3 billion... who would want to come to America tomorrow. Many are good people, but that doesn't mean we can simply let them all in.
We let in a million+ each year legally. A MILLION+! Then another million sneak in illegally each year. Even if we bumped our legal immigration to 3 million per year there would still be a million+ illegal aliens coming in each year. Why? The reasons are endless: Because they don't want to wait in line. They don't want to wait for us to check them out. They don't want to spend their own money (or don't have any) to pay for their documents. They have a criminal record. They have terrorist connections. They want to have a baby here so they have a US citizen anchor. They are straight up thieves or moochers that just want to live off our taxpayers welfare. They were caught illegally here and sent back more than once and no can't come legally... There are endless reasons and none of them are really in the BEST INTERESTS OF AMERICA - which we have a right to demand as a nation of citizens. It's not mean, it's what is logical.
And in the end their countries still would not reform themselves.
You make a lot of assumptions with very little logic to your arguments. Such as this one...
How is America deteriorating if it prides itself in it's diversity ?
We are the most ethnically diverse country on Earth, your comment is an insult by insinuating that we are a racist country by nature - which is the furthest thing from the truth. We have been diverse since our founding (and yes there were black freemen in the United States, they weren't all slaves. And not all American Indians were slaughtered, many helped join in and make this the greatest country on Earth. - As well as Asians of all ethnicities and Latinos and many other ethnicities. Or is it just the White Americans you are referring to?)
And here's another asinine comment:
Have u ever had to physically fight to help save a person u don't know?
Almost my entire family has a military background (including myself). Almost all have fought in wars, so yes we have had to fight for millions of others we "don't know". And so have millions upon millions of other vets who live in the United States.
Do me a favor and go read the Constitution and the works of our founding fathers, then come back and talk to me about how we're supposed to give our country away to help save the world.
Isn't the success of our nation enough of a lesson to others on how to turn their countries around? Apparently to you it is not. We're supposed to give away everything o others.
They don't have to break in here and see it first hand in order to learn of our principles and what made our country a success.
I tire of you and your insulting insinuations and baseless irrational comments on what "we have to do for others".

No police? Farming out city services? Let's see if they have any pretty pictures to put up on their town website in the future. Because you can see from Mexican towns how much pride of ownership they put into their areas.
Only a single token White on the city council. This place is going to self-immolate. Problem is, once it's a total sh&thole, they'll just go somewhere else, and demand to run their flag up in another "racist pilgrim" town.

Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907.
'In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language.. And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.'
Theodore Roosevelt 1907
Every American citizen needs to read this!

Old Dominion was the first chapter organized in the Commonwealth of Virginia and seventh in the Nation. The charter was issued February 1, 1892. The name "Old Dominion" was chosen because it is the sobriquet of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Lord Baltimore, writing to Charles I in 1629, asked for a grant of land in the King's dominion of Virginia. The name "Old Virginia" is said to have been given to the Jamestown Colony by Captain John Smith, later changed to New England. The oldest settlement (1607) retaining the original name Virginia became known as the "Old Dominion."
Robert Beverly, the historian, tells that Governor Berkeley's proclamation names Charles II as "King of England, Scotland, France, Ireland and Virginia." After the restoration of Charles II, a new seal for Virginia adopted about 1663, had the motto "En dat Virginia Quintum," "Behold, Virginia gives the fifth," the effect of which was to rank Virginia by the side of His Majesty's other four dominions. In these circumstances originated the famous epithet "Old Dominion."
Upon his accession to the throne, Charles II readily granted to Berkeley his commission as Governor of the "Old Dominion," a title Charles had accorded the colony because of its loyalty to the crown.

BROOKSVILLE — Hernando County will keep its residential and commercial impact fees at 2001 levels for another year, the County Commission decided Tuesday.
Enacted 10 months ago, the impact fee reductions were set to end on Nov. 30. Figures compiled by county staffers showed that in the past 10 months, 134 single-family home permits were pulled compared with 105 for the same period last year.
Commercial impact fees didn't show the same kind of increase. They dragged overall permit numbers down to 179 in the past 10 months, compared to 208 from the previous year.
Builders insisted that the lower impact fees have been the convincing factor for some home buyers and that every bit of help is needed in the slow housing market.
"It's made a difference in my business,'' said home builder Bob Eaton. "If we continue it 12 more months, I think it will help.''
"This will help to get us back through for another year,'' said Mark Alexander of Alexander Custom Homes.
But some area residents disagreed.
Janey Baldwin said the commission did a favor last year for builders and Realtors, and it was time to do a favor to taxpayers and put the fees back to their previous level.
Anthony Palmieri said he didn't see that the decrease had caused a real uptick in building. "It hasn't done us any good,'' he said.
Dropping the fees to 2001 levels made the single-family home fee $4,800 compared to the previous fee of $9,200. Impact fees are the one-time costs builders pay to governments to offset some of the impacts on public services caused by increased growth.
County numbers showed that in the past 10 months, the county collected $895,675 in impact fees compared to $3,452,367 in the previous year.
Former county commissioner Len Tria urged the board to extend the impact fee reduction. Each extra home built puts another 20 people to work, he argued. Those dollars get put back into the local economy, he said.
"You don't really get anything by chasing business away,'' he said.
The commissioners voted unanimously in favor of keeping the lower fees but will formalize that vote next month.

Since the day aTrackdog was released it has by far been my most used app. I use it at least twice a day. I'm kind of obsessed with keeping my apps updated even if the update breaks the app which is the case way too often. But, the thing I like most about this app is the fact that shows updates that are in the testing phase that we are not even supposed to know about until the developer makes them public. The next update to the newly released Twitter Client could be huge if it does come to fruition. Atrackdog shows there is a Qik port being tested somewhere in the world for the official Twitter app. Although, this could just be some type of codename for the next release.
This app is already highly polished, it effortlessly integrates with the Android OS to make sharing things really easy. If Qik gets thrown into the mix that will take this app head and shoulders above every other twitter app (it's already the best IMO). For those of you that are not familiar with Qik, it allows you to stream live video from your Android handset over the web to share with anyone you choose. It also works over Wi-Fi or whatever data connection you currently have. Can you imagine sharing live video with your followers/stalkers on Twitter? That would be awesome, I hope the testing for this going well and see this feature added soon.

Chuckie Keeton for the Heisman?
Knock that grin off your face.
Had anybody heard of Johnny Football last year at this time?
Chuckie Keeton for the Heisman?
Knock that grin off your face.
Had anybody heard of Johnny Football last year at this time?
Somewhere on the edges of their minds, most experts at least have a vague notion of Chuckie Touchdown.
And they know him better now.
They know he deserved better on Thursday night.
It would have been a storybook start down the trophy track had Utah State actually beat Utah in the season opener at Rice-Eccles Stadium, instead of losing 30-26. But only a small part of that was Chuckie's fault. As a national television audience watched, Keeton threw for 314 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another 85 yards and one score. Over a first half in which the quarterback rolled up 202 passing yards, Keeton was trending on Twitter.
He didn't play perfectly, but he abused the Ute defense in ways it didn't want to imagine, but looked as though it half-expected.
In the aftermath, Kyle Whittingham called Keeton a "Heisman-type player." Utah defensive coordinator Kalani Sitake looked toward the sky when he was asked about Keeton.
"Chuckie is one of the best quarterbacks we've ever had to defend against," he said. "The guy is … the guy is … great. We had to rely on a cramp to stop him."
Sitake was referring to a key sequence early in the fourth quarter, when the Utes were protecting a 24-23 margin, and Keeton had driven his team to within a few yards of the Utah goal line. After picking up four yards, Keeton's leg knotted up, causing him to miss a critical play, a play on which the Aggies lost three yards. They settled for a field goal, making it 26-24. Not enough to preserve the win. Keeton spent most of the following crunch minutes watching his defense fail to stop the Ute O.
At game's end, with his hands on his hips and his helmet tilted back, he ducked into a disappointed locker room. When he emerged, Keeton told a mouthful of lies, blaming himself for the loss.
"Our first game didn't go as planned," he said. "… We had a lot of three-and-outs. I blame that on myself … I put a lot of that on myself."
Yeah, he gained all those yards and completed 31 of 40 passes with zero interceptions. Again and again, he provided his team's best hope for victory here in a game it could have and maybe should have won.
"The kid played his heart out," Matt Wells said of his MVP. "He left it all out on the field."
Keeton made huge plays with his arm and with his feet, even when his shoe popped off on a third-down scramble that set up a late touchdown in the second quarter, giving the Aggies' their first lead, at 17-14.
He opened the third quarter with a sweet 75-yard drive, capping it with a 15-yard touchdown run. As his defense troubled the Utah offense early on, he doubled the trouble against Sitake's D. It was an impressive showing, considering questions that had hung over Utah State in fall camp regarding its receivers and a supposed lack of big-play targets.
Somehow, Keeton discovered them.
When he wasn't completing passes, some of them smoked darts, he was either smartly throwing the ball away to avoid sacks, or moving the chains on the ground. At times, he made Utah's pass rush look silly, spinning away from pressure, keeping plays and drives alive.
He did have a fumble that killed a first-half drive, a careless error in which he was surrounded by traffic and neglected to take care of the ball. But on a night defined, at least on USU's positive part, by Keeton's passes, Wells was willing to give his quarterback a pass on that play.
All told, the Aggies outgained the Utes, 487 yards to 450. But down by a slim margin, exiled to the sidelines for most of the final five minutes until the last few seconds on account of his defense, Keeton went down to defeat.
He may not win the Heisman, but defeat likely will be a stranger to him most of this season.

Four workers hurt as partly built equine center collapses
Four workers were injured, one critically, after part of the steel framing in the partially built equine center at Texas A&M University collapsed on Saturday.
A portion of the 300-foot-long structure being built in the 3500 block of F&B Road came down around 10.50am, the College Station Fire Department said.
Units from the College Station and Bryan Fire Departments, and Texas A&M University Emergency Medical Services (EMS) were notified at 10.49am that the building, part of a new equine center, had collapsed, injuring several workers.
The first fire unit arrived at 10.55am and reported that four workers were in the collapsed area.
They were removed to local hospitals by 11.18am.
At that time, search and rescue efforts were suspended until the rest of the structure that was still standing could be stabilized.
After the structure was secured, a secondary search of the area was conducted to ensure that all workers had been located.
The situation was deemed under control at 11.56am. There were no other injuries reported.
The incident is under investigation by Texas A&M University Police Department.
The injured men were taken to St Joseph Regional Health Center in Bryan.
One man, 35, was admitted in critical condition. Two men, 22, were admitted and reported to be in a stable condition. A fourth man, age 32, was treated and discharged.
The workers were understood to be attaching steel beams to the existing structure from a lift 40 feet above the ground when the collapse occurred.
The steel structure formed the frame for a new 300 feet long barn, part of the work on the new $US80 million equine center which began last October. It is scheduled for completition late this year.
A total of 13 units comprising 33 personnel from the College Station and Bryan Fire Departments, and the Texas A&M University EMS, responded to the call.

Dr Curnow obtained his Bsc(tech) and MSc first class degrees at the University of Waikato, New Zealand, and his PhD from the University of Michigan in 1991 under the supervision of M. David Curtis. His PhD thesis was primarily on the chemistry of heterobimetallic (Co/Mo) sulfide clusters relevant to hydrodesulfurization (HDS). A postdoctoral position at Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, with Russell Hughes was undertaken in 1992 (the first ever perfluorocyclopentadienide complex, Cp*Ru(C5F5), was prepared during this period) and an Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship followed in 1993 with Gottfried Huttner at the University of Heidelberg (the first indium inidene complex). Dr Curnow has been at the University of Canterbury since 1994 where he was promoted to Associate Professor in 2008. Most of his research has been in the area of organometallic coordination and cluster chemistry with a focus on ferrocene compounds, particularly the diindenyl analogues. Recently, his research direction has moved to a new class of ionic liquids based on the triaminocyclopropenium cation and the first paper in this area appeared in Chem. Comm. in 2011. Other areas of interest include the halide hydrates and hypervalent molecules.

Misha Chapter Five
The Misadventures of Misha
Misha and the Troll, Part 5
Originally posted 7/10/7
Last Chapter/Next Chapter
As noon approached, Misha did her best to feign productivity. She vainly hoped that appearing busy would be enough to discourage the troll from lunch, after all he was here as an efficiency expert. Misha typed, took notes, read comics, watched random matrix based meetings and even browsed through company design docs.
At precisely 12:05, right when Samuel said he'd come, he did. Misha practically fell out of her chair as he discreetly cleared his throat. "I am glad to see you have kept busy this morning, I hope our lunch will not interrupt anything important."
Slowly pausing the matrix meeting and saving her documents, Misha turned to face the troll. While her long hair was still mostly braided, the strands which had come out were tangled and wild. Her hands were darkened and in places raw from the early morning's work. What little makeup she had was smeared, and she looked more like an auto mechanic than a well paid engineer. "Well… You know how it is… Never enough time for everything."
"I can assure you, I am all too familiar with that. In fact, that is part of why we need to have this lunch." Knowingly smiling as he continues, "While I summon the car, you should make yourself more presentable for the restaurant. If you forgive my boldness, while I personally find your appearance striking, we must present ourselves with the utmost propriety while we dine. Going forward, you should remember that everywhere you go, you are a representative of NeoNet. You must conduct yourself accordingly."
"Sure… It'll… Just a minute… I'll… I'll meet you at the garage." She gasped out as she snatched up the PIJEAN and started towards the restroom.
With a slight chuckle, "You do not have to be in such a hurry, the meeting is on the clock. We have all afternoon if we wish." Smirking as he finished, "and it can be hard to neaten up without your purse my dear."
Misha abruptly stopped, blushing brightly as she turned. "Why… Thank you S… Samuel." She sheepishly choked as she retrieved her bag. Though she couldn't avoid briefly touching his extended hand, she kept her eyes lowered and took it as quickly she could. She couldn't bare to look at his polished tusks and enormous grin. She could practically sense what was going through his mind and wanted nothing more than to escape and get a little more time to compose herself.
As she once again headed towards the restroom, Samuel confirmed her fears by calling after her, "The way you are behaving, one would think you were as teenager getting ready for a first date." He chuckled openly after that and watched as she sped away, practically stumbling in her haste. He grinned broadly at the thought that lunch might not be all business.

The classic calling card has seen resurgence in the age of email, Twitter, Facebook and multiple phone numbers. Gone are the days when we can simply scrawl a number on a new contact's hands or scribble our digits down on a napkin. Today, there are numerous ways to get in touch with someone, so many that personal business card design ideas are making a comeback.
What is a personal business or calling card?
A personal card is exactly that, it's personal. It's typically not related to your work or professional life. It simply contains the basic contact information that you feel comfortable handing out to individuals. This unique business cards format is popular with casual freelancers, social singles and frequent travelers.
What should I include on a personal business card?
People are often looking for personal business card ideas or tips on what to include. The best suggestion I can offer is to include the information that you feel comfortable including and leave it at that. There's no need for snappy sayings, in-depth info or personal statements. And remember, don't include anything that's too personal – maybe just your email, phone number, blog site, Flickr address and social networking info (Twitter, MySpace, etc) if it's applicable.

New Delhi: Kamala Nath, who lives in Dehradun, has just finished shopping for her daughter's wedding next month. For some of the most critical items on the list, she didn't have to travel to the Capital, as would have been the usual practice until a few years ago.
"I have travelled to Delhi a few times to buy wedding jewellery, but some big stores have opened up in the city so I can shop here now," Nath said over the phone from the Uttarakhand capital.
Jewellery retailers such as Gitanjali, PC Jewellers and Tanishq have opened stores in Dehradun, which has a population of 1.7 million, about one-tenth that of Delhi. Nath is among customers outside India's biggest cities with the aspirations and the money that are encouraging branded jewellery retailers to tap growing demand in towns and cities such as Dehradun.
Vikram Raizada, executive director and chief executive officer (retail) of Mumbai-based Tara Jewels Ltd, was in Jabalpur for the launch, while Mint interviewed him. He was in Madhya Pradesh to launch a product line immediately after introducing it in Delhi and Mumbai.
"The fact that we are launching a contemporary range here shows that these cities are becoming increasingly important," he said.
Consumers in tier 1 cities (population base: 100,000-1 million) and tier 2 cities (50,000-100,000) are opting for organized jewellery chains for several reasons: trendy gold and diamond designs, quality assurance certificates and celebrity brand ambassadors who make the products aspirational.
"Although there is no trust deficit with the traditional jeweller in small towns, consumers are demanding quality," Raizada said.
Tara has six stores in Mumbai and another 24 in 18 cities. According to Raizada, the move into smaller towns makes sense for branded retailers as the metros have a lot of competition, while the non-metros are "less organized from a retail point of view".
Umesh Parekh, managing director of Shree Ganesh Jewellery House Ltd, said that for his company, tier 2 cities account for higher volume growth, while the metros generate more value growth.
The company sells its products through 46 stores in cities such as Mumbai (Maharashtra), Kolkata (West Bengal), Ludhiana (Punjab), Rajkot (Rajasthan) and Ghaziabad (Uttar Pradesh) under the retail brand Gaja.
"The last two years have seen a tectonic shift in consumer behaviour in tier 2 cities," Parekh said. Consumers have moved from traditional or family "mom and pop stores to organized retailers," he said.
Retailers like him are targeting cities such as Dehradun (Uttarakhand), Ajmer (Rajasthan), Bilaspur (Chhattisgarh), Indore (Madhya Pradesh), Solapur (Maharashtra) and Gwalior (Madhya Pradesh) among others. Places such as Satna (Madhya Pradesh), Begusarai (Bihar), Jharsuguda (Orissa), too, are on the radar of organized jewellery retailers.
Gitanjali Gems Ltd is seeing rapid growth in sales thanks to such towns.
"For us, tier 2-3 towns and cities are much more important than tier 1," said Abhishek Gupta, president at Gitanjali. In the last two years, Gitajnali's share of revenue from tier 2 cities has grown from 40% to 50%. "We expect it to touch 60% by the next financial year," he said. The company has put in place a logistics system to service these towns.
Rachna Nath, executive director and leader of retail and consumer at PricewaterhouseCoopers, "We have worked with retailers who see a lot of demand coming in from tier 2 - 3 cities primarily because there is a lot of money, but no guarantee of the purity or quality of jewellery being sold". Nath adds that "localization "in terms of design plus customer service will play a big role in selling to the small town consumer. The consumer in Kolkata is very different from that in Midnapore.
An October 2012 report by credit rating agency Credit Analysis and Research Ltd (CARE) said India is one of the markets that's least served by organized jewellery retailers
The share of organized jewellery stands at 5-6% based on the sales of companies such as Gitanjali, Tanishq and Reliance Jewels that have a nation-wide presence. This rises to 16-18% if regional retailers such as TBZ, PC Jewellers, Malabar Gold and Kalyan Jewellers are included. To expand in small towns, several companies have raised or are raising money through initial public offerings.
The first half of 2012 saw a slow start however Q3 witnessed a slight surge in gold demand, according to a World Gold Council report dated 16 August.
India's Q3 2012 gold demand value was Rs.65,373 crore, an increase of 27% in comparison with Q3 2011. Late revival of monsoon and restocking by traders and jewellers ahead of the festive and wedding season could be the key reasons for the upward trend in demand in Q3 2012. Indian consumers also seem to have adjusted to the rise in gold price levels. Jewellery demand witnessed an increase of 7% year-on-year to 136.1 tonnes from 126.8 tonnes in Q3 2011, owing to slowing economic growth. But retailers are keen on opening more stores. That's despite record-high local gold prices, exchange-rate fluctuations and inflation.
"We are opening one store a month mostly through franchisees in tier 2 and tier 3 cities," said Gupta of Gitanjali. This includes cities such as Yamunanagar in Haryana, Uddhampur in Jammu and Kashmir, Ajmer in Rajasthan, Rohtak in Haryana and Vapi in Gujarat.
As gold prices rise, small-town buyers continue to invest in the yellow metal, said T.S. Kalyanaraman, chairman and managing director of Thrissur, Kerala-based Kalyan Jewellers.
"Gold is now an investment for the common man," he said. "With rising real estate costs, gold as commodity has a lower entry barrier."
In August, the company announced investments worth Rs.1,000 crore to open 15 more showrooms in Kancheepuram (Tamil Nadu), Kakinada (Andhra Pradesh) and Thiruvalla (Kerala) among others. But for some shoppers such as Renu Dhawan, a resident of Ambala, Delhi is still the preferred market for wedding jewellery.
"There are lots of traditional family jewellers in Ambala, but we still go to Delhi since the shops there have better styles."
Ish Kripa Gupta, who owns diamond store IG Jewels in Dehradun, agreed. "We get customers for light-weight buys, (but) people still go to Delhi to purchase wedding jewellery," said Gupta, who sells brands such as Gitanjali, MMTC and Shubh, among others. His buyers range from the young to the middle-aged who buy diamonds for themselves or as gifts.

Dry conditions are expected to produce an above average fire season in Humboldt and Del Norte counties that will start early and last longer than normal, officials said.
"We're at a considerable deficit for moisture, particularly in the high country," Six Rivers National Forest Deputy Fire Chief Mike Beasley said. "Some areas are as low as 25 to 30 percent of normal, so we're pretty far off of what we'd hope to have in terms of snowpack."
He said vegetation at higher elevations in the Smith River area and the Trinity Alps is already drying up -- and will likely be susceptible to fire by June.
"Typically in the winter, you want higher elevation fuel to be under snow. Unfortunately, this year it's already exposed. That means your higher elevation fuels are available to burn sooner than usual," Beasley said.
Statewide the season is ramping up early, Cal Fire Battalion Chief Jeremy Monroe said.
"The reality is the entire state ... is looking at potentially a very active summer," Monroe said.
National Weather Service senior meteorologist Jeff Tonkin said Eureka is about 18 percent below normal in rainfall for the year, which began in July. It is also the fifth driest year on record in more than 100 years, he said.
The dry weather pattern is predicted to continue.
"We're not anticipating getting much in the way of help in rainfall," Tonkin said. "That's not to say we won't get any rainfall in a month or two, but at least right now it looks like we're going to stay kind of dry and stay behind in rainfall for what is normal this time of year."
The normal level is about 37 inches. As of Friday, rainfall for the year is about 31 inches.
"It all means everything ramps up sooner this year," Beasley said.
Crews will start and be trained earlier than normal. Campfire restrictions will most likely be put in place a month ahead of schedule.
"It certainly is presenting itself right now that we could be looking for a very active summer," Monroe said. "The conditions are similar to what we saw in 2008 with fuel, moisture and lack of rainfall."
In 2008, more than 2,000 wildfires were sparked by summer lightning storms.
Monroe said it is impossible to be certain what the season will look like because no one can predict the weather.
"The reality is it could rain in June and totally change the outcome," he said.
The main factors in determining the outlook are how much precipitation an area receives over the winter, when it arrived and where it happened. Data snow surveys are taken, and climatologists are consulted.
So far this year, crews have responded to one fire near Orleans for an escaped burn pile, Beasley said.
"But I'm expecting more soon," he said. "I think we're going to see more of that within days."
Beasley said people should be cautious when doing any sort of debris burning, and have the appropriate permits.
Cal Fire encourages people prepare for fire season by visiting the "Ready, Set, Go" program on its website, www.fire.ca.gov. Fire prevention tips can be found under the resources tab.
"What I can only say for certain is we're going to be prepared for the worst," Monroe said.

Both part of the recent Victoria's Secret baby boom, model moms Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio were happy to take time out from this week's Victoria's Secret Swim 2011 launch party to gush about the joys of motherhood.
"It was the best thing that can happen to my life," says Adriana, who is mom to 1-year-old daughter Valentina. "During pregnancy it was great. Those pregnancy hormones did wonders to me. I feel much more beautiful, sexier, more womanly. I think my hair, my skin is much better now."
Alessandra, who has 2-year-old daughter Anja, agrees, telling Hollyscoop, "Motherhood changed my life in that everything I do I think about my daughter. I got to work and when I have a pause I just think about my daughter and what she's doing. I just give more time to be with her and take care of myself to be able to take good care of her."
The very pretty pair also weighed in on the newest members of the model mom club, Miranda Kerr and Doutzen Kroes.
"They were asking a few questions," Adriana reveals. "I think they're very responsible and very gentle. I'm sure they're being wonderful mothers!"

The Cleveland Browns have been searching for a franchise quarterback since they came back to the NFL in 1999, and after another disappointing season, the team may look to use its trade assets to move up in the 2014 NFL Draft for a quarterback.
"They are willing to trade up to land Johnny Manziel in the draft if need be, sources said, and have an owner, Jimmy Haslam, who is committed to spending their abundant cap space to try to win quickly," writes Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports.
Cleveland finished 11th in the league in passing offense this past season with an average of 252.5 yards per game, but none of the quarterbacks who played significant time (Jason Campbell and Brandon Weeden) played well consistently and didn't show anything to suggest they are capable of getting the team into the playoffs. Manziel led Texas A&M to an 9-4 record in 2013 and won the Heisman Trophy in 2012. He's projected to be a top 10 pick.
In addition to its own first-round pick, Cleveland also has a first rounder from the Indianapolis Colts that was acquired in the mid-season trade involving running back Trent Richardson. That pick could be used to move up in the draft if needed.
The Browns have the fourth pick in May's draft after a 4-12 season. The top three picks are held by the Houston Texans, St. Louis Rams and Jacksonville Jaguars, respectively.

hi forum,
I'm using pair of SSG550 to form a site-to-site IPSEC tunnel.
both SSGs are behind Cisco 2801 routers,acting as a main ISP gateways for their eth0/2 ifaces.
now, during recent penetration tests I found that both Cisco gear is vulnerable to even most primitive SYN flood type of attack.
in order to increase the level of protection I'm looking into implementing Cisco's CBAC/TCP Inspection features,
to be able to defeat DoS/DDoS type of attacks and guard the Cisco.
now, the question is the interop between Juniper's IPSEC/IKE/ESP type of traffic and Cisco's CBAC feature.
lets have this topology as an example of functional model:
SSG_A represents LAN_A and SSG550_B LAN_B, and both LANs can see each oter via IPSEC VPN tunnel.
now, with CBAC on Cisco_A:
if I send an intial IPSEC/ESP/IKE/whatever handshake request from SSG_A, CBAC on Cisco_A will record this flow as valid outbound flow,and will pass it thru.
but what will happen with return/inbound traffic [IPSEC response/keys from SSG_B] ?
will this one pass thru Ciscoi_A and form the tunnel?
or the CBAC on Cisco_A will drop the flow?
many thanks for ANY suggestions.
rootless rooter
comment added 25-02-2010:
anybody from Juniper fellows with some advice? I can't believe there's nobody unable to answer
or I'm I in wrong forum?

Craftwell eBosser Automatic Embosser and Die Cutter
Gifted by Craftwell
Reviewed by Michele Kovack
As an avid cardmaker and scrapbooker, I was excited to try Craftwell's new eBosser. So what exactly is the eBosser? The eBosser is a fully automatic embossing and die cutting machine that handles up to letter and A4 size materials. It is electric for fast and easy operation. I love the look of die cuts and embossing in my projects, but don't always love to crank the handle of the traditional embossing machines, especially if I am doing multiple projects!
The heavy duty eBosser machine plugs into a power outlet. It comes with 4 platforms and a shim. The user manual is easy to read and understand. Since I am a collector of many brands of dies, I was happy to see that the manual has a page dedicated to each brand and how to sandwich them between the platforms. (Brands like Sizzix, Spellbinders, Cuttlebug, AccuCut, AccuQuilt, Ellison, QuicKutz, Lifestyle Crafts, Fiskars.) It works great with embossing folders too. Once you place your platforms correctly, you simply guide the eBosser with a steady forward motion into the machine. Once the rollers "grab" onto it, you release and let the machine do the rest of the work. Once the platforms have gone through the machine, you remove the combination and you have your perfectly embossed or die cut material! And speaking of materials, I tried many different types. It works great on fabric, paper, vellum, vinyl, wood, card board, and thin sheets of metal. I also liked the fact that it can material up to 8-1/2" X 11".
This machine makes completing the task of die cutting and embossing so easy! There is no handle to crank and the cuts are perfect each time. I really love the ease of using this machine and haven't used my other machines since!

Between seven and nine inches of snow have already settled in the Chattanooga area - an amount local meteorologists say they haven't seen since the blizzard of 1993.
Final totals for snow accumulation have yet to be calculated, but so far this is the largest single-day total since the 18.5 inches of snow Chattanooga saw during the blizzard, according to Sam Roberts with the National Weather Service in Morristown, Tenn.
The last time the city saw amounts similar to today's was January 27, 1968, when it got 6.8 inches, said Roberts.
"The Chattanooga area definitely got the brunt of this storm in Tennessee," Roberts said.
The Knoxville airport reported four inches, while Morristown received between one and two, he said.
Share your snowmageddon stories and photos at Facebook.com/TimesFreePress.
More scattered snow showers are expected throughout the day, with slight levels of accumulation expected. Tomorrow there is more chance for snow, although Roberts said it is possible the snow will mix with rain and freezing rain.
"We don't really get out of this until Wednesday when we see it partly sunny," he said. "Though even then there are concerns of re-freezing as we see lower temperatures."
Thursday and Friday are expected to be mostly sunny, with highs in the low 30s.

text: NewsWar & ConflictLibya's UN-backed government gets 'no confidence' vote Vote by parliament in Tobruk is major setback for Government of National Accord in Tripoli. 22 Aug 2016 18:05 GMT War & Conflict, Africa, Libya Representatives of the Tripoli-based and Tobruk-based governments in December 2015 [Reuters]Libya's UN-backed government in the capital, Tripoli, has suffered a major setback following a vote of no confidence by the country's eastern parliament. The vote on Monday by members of the House of Representatives, which is based in the eastern city of Tobruk, rejected the Tripoli administration's proposed line-up for a government of national unity. "The majority of lawmakers present at the parliament session voted no confidence in the government," Adam Boussakhra, parliament spokesman, told the AFP news agency. A Government of National Accord (GNA) - led by prime minister-designate Fayez al-Sarraj - was the result of a UN-brokered power-sharing deal struck in December. Monday's vote was the first since January, when the parliament rejected an initial list of ministers put forward by the GNA's leadership, and the first since the UN-backed government began installing itself in Tripoli in March. But the GNA, which had been seeking the Tobruk parliament's endorsement for months, has struggled to unite the country and assert its authority beyond the capital city. A rival government in the country's east has refused to cede power until the House of Representatives passes a vote of confidence. READ MORE: Libya factions agree to sign national unity deal A total of 101 deputies attended Monday's session, with 61 voting against the GNA, 39 abstaining, and only one voting in favour, according to officials. Parliamentary sessions in Tobruk have been repeatedly delayed or blocked as opposition to the GNA has hardened. GNA supporters, many of whom did not attend Monday's vote, have previously complained that opponents of the UN-backed government have used physical force and threats to prevent voting from taking place. Western powers have been counting on the GNA to tackle Libya's security vacuum, revive oil production, and stem the flow of refugees and migrants crossing the Mediterranean Sea to Europe. While forces aligned with the GNA have largely recaptured the coastal city of Sirte from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) group, it has struggled to assert control in other areas, losing support because of its inability to resolve a liquidity crisis, widespread power cuts and other problems. The conflict has turned the country into a nexus for people-smuggling to Europe and has enabled ISIL, also known as ISIS, to gain a foothold on the southern shore of the Mediterranean.Source: Agencies Tell us what you think

Is the Mondo front AND rear hard tanks? I read somewhere about a plug n play option for more ballast. Plus the screen shows level indicators. Unable to do that with bags unless they are using timer guesstiments.
Unless this boat is replacing the Outback V or has something to create a surfing wave swichable side to side in seconds i don't see the point of adding another 20 footer to the lineup. Looks good tho
Ballast timers are just that, its a Timmer box they have been using a few years but now instead of it showing you a % number like it does on mine, its a bar graph.
papou i see the need for the Mondo in the 20ft boat segment.
Go look at a Mondo and an OBV next to each other and its very apparent why they can survive together.
Mondo has deeper seating, much wider interior. Also it has the wide body nose.
A lot of OBV owners are traditionlists and want that lower profile boat, smaller, and lighter for water skiing. Plus since SC is no longer doing DD boats the OBV is now the only real option water skiing.
Now if the Mondo blows away the OBV in sales then you might see the OBV drop off the list.
Who knows, you still might see it drop off, thats how the Mojo took the XLV spot.
The Mojo is only 3inches shorter on interior space then a XLV, but the compartments are deeper, and the interior is 2 inches wider.
Doesnt sound like a lot but spend a day in the Mojo, then the very next in an XLV and you will feel the difference.
Also want to see how much larger a Mojo is then an LSV sit them right next to each other and the Mojo is a lot bigger, even though its only 1 foot longer.
I suspect you would see all the same comparisons with Mondo and OBV except they really are the same length.
I thought about this too.
I think the look of a boat with a squared off or pickle fork styled bow is what most people want. It is what a wake boat "should" look like in many peoples eyes.
People are buying the AXIS A20 even though it is shaped like a doorstop. I think the OBV will be gone next year like the XLV disappeared a year after the Mojo.
2016 will likely bring a squared bow LSV if the Mondo is as big of a success as the Mojo has been.
Saw this on Moomba's facebook
i cant wait to get my feet into a mondo..they look sharp..one thing i dislike about my OB is how low it sits in the water..when i let my buddys drive and i take a dive in the water and he comes to get me and doesnt see the wave and the thing washes over the bow, it gets everything wet..thats why i only put my anchor and PFD in the bow area and personal stuff under the sun pads.
I think you take just about ANY boat and build it with the Black/Grey/Orange color scheme and it'll look GREAT. Best color scheme on a new release that I've seen in along time!
im still on the border if the flake will go well with the black and orange. most of my friends with boats are rednecks or fishermen so i think they will be in shock if they saw the flake lol..i like it too haha
The blue white and black one it SWEET!!!

2006 Nissan 350ZEnlarge Photo
I was worried. In fact, I was doubly concerned. Firstly, Nissan has been messing with its 350Z, and because the Z is one of my all-time favorite cars this is something that makes me very uneasy. And secondly, this means that the 350Z is now halfway through its life cycle, so its replacement is now only three years away. Like each subsequent BMW M3 and Mazda Miata, I just know the next one's not going to be as good as the original. I mean, how can it be? This one is almost perfect.
Well, in one respect my concerns are unfounded. Nissan hasn't mucked about with the Z-car too much, either mechanically or visually, and the changes they have made have been subtle and tasteful. If you squint really hard you'll spot the standard bi-xenon headlamps and tweaked front bumper, while the rear light cluster is now festooned with little LEDs. Other than some new wheels, that's it in terms of styling tweaks.
Inside, Nissan has listed to its customers and installed cupholders in the doors, padded the armrests a little better, put a bit of snazz in HVAC controls and added audio controls to the once-naked left-hand steering-wheel spoke of all versions but the base model. The plastics feel a little ritzier, too, but all the basics remain as before so you still have that perfect driving position with its incredible pedal, steering, and gear-lever placement, as well as the wonderful view of the world you can only find inside that rakish shape.
