Report/gallery: Magdaleno vs. Davis
Ringside by Andreas Hale & Anthony Springer Jr.

Diego Magdaleno was told by Bob Arum and Top Rank that 2012 would be his year and after his performance on Saturday night, it looks like they were right. Fighting in his backyard at the Texas Station Hotel & Casino, the NABF Super Featherweight champion pleased the hometown crowd with a dominating performance that was punctuated with a 4th round TKO stoppage of Antonio Davis.
With the victory, Magdaleno put himself in position to fight for a world title by the end of 2012 — perhaps on the undercard of Manny Pacquiao's November fight in Las Vegas. Based on his performance, it's a title shot well earned.
"I'm ready," Magdaleno (23-0, 8 KOs) said about challenging for a world title in an arena like the MGM Grand Garden Arena rather than a ballroom after his victory. As for Davis (29-8), he certainly wasn't ready for what Magdaleno had in store for him.
Magdaleno has showcased improved punching power over the past couple of years by scoring knockouts in four of his last six fights. With this newfound torque, the southpaw confidently pressed forward as Davis was unable to land anything significant to alter the 25-year-old's strategy. And the strategy was simple.
"The plan was to attack, break down the body and get him out of there," said Magdaleno. Magdaleno took advantage of the 40-year-old's age and made early deposits into the body bank that would pay off in dividends as the fight progressed. Seemingly motivated by younger brother Jesse Magdaleno's knockout the evening before on ESPN's Friday Night Fights, the elder brother ramped up the pressure as each round passed. The ripping shots to the torso of "T-Rex" sapped the fight out of him and left him vulnerable to Diego's upstairs attack.
"I was more surprised by his awkwardness than his inability to attack," Magdaleno said. "I was picking up that he wanted to land one big shot. I wouldn't let him though and kept my distance using my jab."
In the fourth round, Magdaleno used that jab — along with the fact that he kept Davis' hands low courtesy of the body work — to set up a right lead uppercut that smashed Davis and sent him staggering down queer street. Magdaleno quickly hopped on his prey and unleashed a barrage of punches with bad intentions that knocked Davis everywhere but down on the canvas. As referee Joe Cortez looked on, Davis' corner could be seen climbing the stairs with toss in the towel. But Magdaleno was relentless and continued his blitz until Cortez finally decided to rescue the damaged Davis from further harm at the 2:59 mark.
With the win, it was announced to FightNews that Magdaleno is set to face the winner of the upcoming WBO title eliminator bout between Rocky Martinez and Miguel Beltran, Jr. — Andreas Hale
Benavidez Jr. thumps Loya in four
It looked more like a bullfight than a boxing match. In a battle of unbeaten welterweights, Jose Benavidez Jr. played the matador the reckless charging style of Javier Loya , earning a fourth round TKO win at 1:41 in the evening's co-main event.
From the outset, Loya's fight IQ was in question. He repeatedly charged in with his head up and gloves down and was on the receiving end of counter lefts from Benavidez (16-0, 13 KOs). A stiff left hook at the minute and a half mark in the opener sent Loya (7-1, 6 KOs) to the canvas for the bout's only knockdown.
In the fourth, Benavidez caught Loya rushing in again, delivering a crushing left hook. Unlike the countless other hooks that landed, Loya retreated, allowing Benavidez to go on the offensive. Against the ropes, Loya looked like a fish out of water as Benavidez teed off with lefts and rights to the body and head. After numerous unanswered punches, referee Tony Weeks did the right thing and halted the bout. — Anthony Springer Jr.
Mike Lee Wins Again
Former Notre Dame boxing standout Mike Lee continued his unbeaten campaign at light heavyweight with a second round TKO of Tyler Seever. In what has become a customary view whenever Lee fights, a sea of gold and blue t-shirts worn by his cheering squad, Lee put on an impressive performance. After a feeling out session in the first round, Lee (10-0, 6 KOs) opened up in the second and sent Seever down with a combination and a chopping right hand. As his fans roared, The Fighting Pride of the Irish sensed that the end was near and stalked Seever (13-12) in pursuit of the finish. Although the Missouri fighter did his best to fend off Lee's attack, there was little he could do to stop a big 1-2 combination, anchored by a right hand that crushed Seever and sent him falling backwards. Referee Russell Mora saw no need in counting and immediately stopped the fight at the 1:36 mark. — Andreas Hale
Santillan's two knockdowns seal victory
In a four round super lightweight attraction, Giovani Santillan (4-0, 2 KOs) scored knockdowns in the first two rounds and cruised to a 40-34 unanimous decision over Joaquin Chavez. Although Santillan dropped Chavez (1-2-2) with the first straight left hand he threw seconds into the fight, Chavez proved to be durable and survived the four round affair. But survival doesn't equal victory and Santillan landed the heavier shots throughout to earn the decision. — Andreas Hale
Rodriguez Drops Morales
The Robert Garcia trained Saul Rodriguez (6-0, 5 KOs) collected his 5th career stoppage when he scored a devastating 3rd round TKO over Jose Morales (6-4, 1 NC). The 19-year-old struggled with his poise as the two featherweights swung for the fences early on. However, the 3rd round saw a more collected Rodriguez slam a well placed left hook into his opponent's face and immediately turned the lights out on Morales. With Morales out cold and lying face first, referee Russell Mora saw no need to count and immediately called the fight off at the :26 mark. — Andreas Hale
Turner overwhelms Schmidt
After Billy Schmidt (1-1-2) came out throwing heavy leather, he was unable to take as good as he gave, as Tommy Turner (3-2) earned a first round TKO victory at 2:36. A big right hook staggered the Arizona fighter and it was all downhill from there. The "Samurai" followed that up with a pair of left hooks and a right uppercut. One big right hook floored Schmidt who bounced up on rubber legs. Referee Joe Cortez didn't bother to administer a count, waving off the fight after taking a good look at Schmidt. — Anthony Springer Jr.
Williams tops Hougue
"The Mighty Midget" Tremaine Williams continued his winning ways, defeating Jazzma Hougue (2-2-1) by way of unanimous decision in a four-round super bantamweight action. William beaet Hougue to the punch consistently through the affair, and caught the man on the losing end with a pair of hooks in the third round that drew a pair of "ooh's" from the Texas Station crowd in Las Vegas. All three judges scored it 40-36. Williams improves to 3-0. — Anthony Springer Jr

The Chronicle of Philanthropy recently reported that Haiti donations have now topped $528 million. The report states that although Haiti giving has outpaced the responses to the 9/11 attacks and the Tsunami in Asia it is still behind the pace of hurricane Katrina giving.
It is also expected that while individual donations will now begin to slow down, donations from corporations will continue to come in and add to the totals.
Also noted, was that the American Red Cross has brought in $29 million through phone text donations. That amount is significant when comparing it to the $200,000 that was received via text in the 2008 hurricane season.

I'm so grateful for operation blessing. Please give even a small amount, whatever you can afford. It's not the amount you give but just even a little giving from each of us can help this desperate situation. Remember the woman in the bible that gave such a tiny amount, but she was commended because she gave it out of her need. God Bless ya all!

The press release says …..
This year we will be replacing our current Catalogue and DocumentsOnline service with Discovery.
Discovery is The National Archives' new catalogue, providing a new way to explore our collections.

Re: The Disappearing Mouse Trick
I love the way this turned out! It's always nice to see a suggestion from the pre-derby thread get included too ;-) Great job! This deserves a print.

Hey ramy, why don't you start your own website? I bet you would make more money that way. Think about it, you could draw a new bunny shirt and print it EVERY DAY if you wanted. I dunno, give it some thought...?

cindihoward wrote:Now this is some BIG Magic! Like the full shirt design!
There's a reason it's the only one like it in the derby - it's out of woot's printable area, and if they're paying attention they could reject it.
mrwednesday wrote:Parody is required by law for use of intellectual property for profit.
Please state the precise US statute and relevant case law to support your assertion. I suspect that you cannot, because parody is only one possible fair use. There is no statute that calls out a requirement for parody to the exclusion of all other fair use.
This article, by an IP attorney, is a useful reference. In fact, the 5th paragraph explicitly calls out that there is not even a clear-cut line. The courts are stymied by parody vs fair use.
You'll note that the article points out there are 4 aspects when considering fair use, and only one of them is potential market effect, which is not exactly the same thing as profit.
mrwednesday wrote:If this shirt is made and Monty Python decides to sue, woot would have to prove...
I believe if you study the Terms & Conditions, it quite effectively shields Woot, its subsidiaries, etc from liability arising from copyright infrigement. I suspect it would be the artist that would need to defend a fair use claim.
mrwednesday wrote:AS stated many many many many many many times before, parody is a defense.
'a' being the operative word.
And, as I said, no where in the call for submissions did Woot require parody.
Moreover, nowhere in the original film did the Tim character conjure up a fiery rabbit. This image is a justoposition of the pyrotechnic effects created by that character, as well as his relation to the killer rabbit skit. Therefore it could easily be considered a commentary or reflection on how that justaposition affected and inspired the artist.
Re: Squeak the Barbarian
This really is terrific. But - why is baldy looking at me? Shouldn't he be paying attention to Squeak? That throws it for me a bit.
Legendarybandit wrote:Clean the edges of the picture so it doesn't have the square on the black, and maybe off-center the doll a little? Maybe to the left over the heart or to left down on the side some
Yes, exactly. I really liked the thumbnail. But the square and the placement kind of put me off.
Re: beard magic!
I like the submission, it got my vote, but I don't quite love the submission. I don't think it's quite clear without the title that the magic is coming from the beard, since the sparkles are surrounding his entire body.

Very cool. Hope it prints.
tgentry wrote:As to what you did wrong, I can't say, but this is your color compared to the royal blue swatch (I assume that was royal blue?)...
I bet I know what happened - I think I used the eyedropper tool for the background color, since the swatch numbers are not listed on your Artist Template, just the color names. I will not make that mistake again. Thank you for the response.

This Swede-blood loves it! Voted for it early on, so happy it's made the cloud! Lots of good fun designs this derby, but few make good shirts. This one, however, is made of awesome. Just like his beard.

Guys, seriously, you both saying definitively "this shirt looks better with...." is absolutely POINTLESS.
You're both entitled to your opinions, which you've graced us all with a-plenty, but you should stop presenting them as fact, simply because it comes off arrogant and annoying.
But while we're sharing, this shirt teeters on wear-ability for me, but if there was a giant ugly man genie in the center of it, it would be very far beyond unwearable to me.

He makes a design for woot... he gets a thousand dollars plus reckoning sales.
If he made his own site he'd have to pay the cost of printing the shirt, sending the shirt, etc... He'd have to sell a LOT more shirts to get to the thousand dollar mark.
It'd also take a LOT more effort.
I know there are a LOT of Ramy fans on woot, but how many would regularly buy Ramy shirts at 15-20 bucks a pop? Sure some ramy shirts last a while on the reckoning, but they spending a lot of time barely staying alive.

Changing Policy to Increase Impact Investments
Can opportunities for impact investments – dollars that yield both financial and social returns for investors – be increased if policy adjustments are made? What are some of the unintended consequences of current national regulations and whom do they affect if changed? These, and other questions were raised in a Georgetown Global Social Enterprise Initiative (GSEI) meeting co-convened at Georgetown University's McDonough School of Business with the U.S. National Advisory Board (NAB) to the G8's Global Social Impact Investment Task Force: a group of business, non-profit, and government leaders in impact investing from around the United States.
Supported by a grant from the Case Foundation, a NAB member, the meeting brought together impact investing stakeholders from business, government, and foundations, as well as intermediaries, nonprofits, funds, and other investment recipients, to offer input on potential policy change recommendations.
After an introduction to the meeting by GSEI's Executive Director Ladan Manteghi and Social Finance Co-Founder and CEO Tracy Palandjian, U.S. Department of the Treasury Deputy Assistant Secretary Don Graves expressed President Obama's strong support for social impact investing. Graves highlighted an Obama Administration-created Pay for Success incentive fund worth $300 million for social innovation initiatives that achieve savings by improving outcomes, not simply serving more people.
During a panel discussion moderated by Sean Greene of Revolution, Andrea Phillips of Goldman Sachs suggested that the best way forward was to build on community development successes by incentivizing private investors using tax benefits and reducing risk of such investments through the Treasury. Ben Hecht of Living Cities explained that one of the main goals of impact investing policy for social enterprises should be to stabilize revenue streams over longer time horizons. Often, much of the problem is that enterprises lose their grant funding just as they are gaining speed and as a result, many highly successful organizations never reach their potential for serving the community. Overall, the panel agreed that every effort should be made to standardize impact investing so that it can be scaled.
Tides CEO Melissa Bradley, who also is an adjunct professor at Georgetown McDonough, highlighted the importance of including the demand side of the social enterprise equation during the participant discussion about what communities truly need. A representative from the District of Columbia Mayor's office pointed out that local governments need support to grow complex investments like social impact bonds. Structurally, technical skills and human capital lack at the local level to assess which enterprises are the most successful. If the priority is to move policy away from paying for the number of people served, to outcomes like decreased poverty, as the NAB discussion suggested, this will be an important structural barrier to overcome. The grant method of funding per project is also a barrier to this policy change because funds should be targeted toward supporting successful social enterprises, not just singular projects.
Breakout discussions also covered five key areas for potential policy change highlighted in a draft NAB report:
- Expanding catalytic capital to mitigate risk and thus expand impact funds available
- Expanding the reach of programs by increasing agency flexibility to deploy "patient capital"
- Removing barriers by simplifying policy to make it easier to include impact investments in investment portfolios
- Improving metrics to focus on outcomes and to make it easier to measure impact
- Creating a culture of knowledge-sharing of best practices in impact transactions.
NAB members and participants agreed that normalizing social returns as a legitimate goal for all investors was important to growing the space. There also was support for positioning impact investing as an investment philosophy, not just an asset class, so that all the relevant players from foundations to commercial investors have a role in the new impact investment landscape.
The final report from the NAB meeting will be published in late June 2014.

Last week was my blogiversary! I'm excited that I'm back to posting a year after I began blogging in earnest. I've learned an incredible amount, read some fantastic writers, made mistakes, and done some writing I'm proud of. I'm so glad I started on this adventure - it's an ever-shifting, ever-fascinating challenge.
I've been thinking about it in the context of what I want to do in my next year of blogging, and I've come up with a few goals, both feminist and selfish:
-Make more of an effort to write about oppressions I do not experience in a fair and feminist way. I want to raise my knowledge and consciousness of the language I use, and how I can be better and less oppressive in my use of that language. I want to find more words like dumb that I use all the time, that hurt people, and exterminate it from my language. I want to find more words like cis that I can use to describe my privilege without making my body standard.
-Read more feminist theory, and finish 50 Books for Problematic Times.
-Double my readership.
-Centralize the voices of people who experience the oppressions I do not face but do write about. I'm planning on a big post about this in the future, but this is simple: when I write about race in this blog, I want to quote more authors of color. When I'm facing word counts in writing on race outside of DP, I want to link more to authors of color. The same applies to other forms of oppression: centralize trans voices when talking about cissexism, centralize GLB voices when talking about heterosexism, centralize mothers' voices when writing about mothers. I need to read more, and learn more, and link more, and quote more.
-Get more paid writing work.
-Write more consistently. Even if I'm not able to write as often as I am not, or as often as I did last August, I want to write every week.
-Comment more, promote other blogs more, make new Internet Friends.
I'm also excited to share a few new ventures with you!
I've just this week begun blogging about television for Bitch Magazine! I've been a huge fan of Bitch since I was a teenager – I love them enough to display their covers as art in my house (above)! I am a little giddy about this particular instance of teenage wish fulfillment. The series is called TelevIsm, and I'll be writing there on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. My introduction to the series is here, and this is from my recent post on The Office and socially responsible jokes:
And from today's upcoming post on what a socially irresponsible joke looks like:
Jokes that can be interpreted as critical under this condition are not, generally, the strongest critiques of the kyriarchy, no. Because it's not fiercely anti-kyriarchy , some folks are going to laugh at these jokes for the wrong reasons, and possibly appropriate it in the service of whatever ism the joke is critiquing.
But racism and other isms should not be erased in popular culture, and there's a way to responsibly portray oppression without an oppressed person as the butt of the joke. Mainstream culture – widely popular television that does not use social justice as a guiding point of the show – can communicate to the audience that active oppression is harmful and unacceptable.
Now, here's what I guess a few of you are thinking: "it's just a joke, it's not a big deal, there are more important things.". These are jokes! And there are a lot of other, probably more serious issues! But, you know what? Violence against women, ableism, transphobia – these things are big deals, and they do hurt people. And these shows perpetuate that. Kyle's, Stan's, and Cartman's constant and uncritical use of ableist language makes people think that that is funny and okay to use. Rape jokes make people think that rape is okay. Racist jokes make people think that racism isn't a real problem. Presenting an episode devoted to showing how silly and fake trans people are helps people justify hatred, discrimination, and even violence against a lot of marginalized people.In other news, Deeply Problematic is now on Facebook! Become a fan! Get updates there! Suggest it to your friends! We need more fans so that we can
We are also on Twitter, though that is currently just for site updates.
I've also begun a new blog, Drinking Critically, where I will write about various things I do or do not like and why I do or do not like them. I'm basically using it for writing warm-up. It's pretty heavy on the first person and not very serious – so far my topics have included Crocs, cucumber plants, dirty dishes, and cheesecake. I am not positive I will stick with it, but it's fun – a place to blow off meaningless steam. Or less-meaningful steam.
Also, I think I'm going to start doing fairly-regular link roundups. So, if you have something you'd like to see linked on here, send it to me!

For those who can legally carry, either open or (preferably) concealed......do you carry your Glock with one in the pipe?
Took me a bit of time to work up the comfort and confidence in myself and my gun to carry this way, since Glocks have no external safety, but after only a few weeks its become second nature to me. Anyone have strong thoughts for or against this? I think if you have a secure holster that completely buries the trigger you have nothing to worry about. I wear the DeSantis IWB holster around 4 o clock that provides a nice deep carry but allows me to get a decent purchase on the gun when I draw at the range.


text: Hey Old Padawan are you really thinking it's going to give up the ghost on ya? As long as your running some half way decent ammo through it, it should run fine for years. It will go through a few recoil springs in that time if you shoot a lot and use good mags. Clean,oil,and lube is about all you should have to do. Good luck with it.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I'm living in Alaska right now, so I wanted something Alaskan sounding. I wanted to name a male Balto, but I ended up adopting a female by the name of Survivor, which I thought was a terrible name for ner. Mostly because she wasn't sick with anything, she just might have possibly had contact with parvo, maybe. But the lady that I took her from was crazy and refused to take her to a vet under any condition, even for shots (was not a breeder), so I guess she's a survivor of that. Anyway, I ended up naming her Balta, after the hero dog Balto. And I wouldn't change it for anything.
|My wife & I had gone threw hundreds & hundreds of names & just could not find one! when our friends & family found out about us getting a GSD we heard all the stereo type comments on why would we even get a vicious dog like a GSD with our kids around. We were told those dogs are "killers"! One night my wife & I were sitting down watching our favorite show & I was upset & telling my wife how people could be so ignorant & then IT CLICKED! if people thought my dog would be a "vicious killer" then that's what he will be lol so I named him DEXTER after our favorite show on showtime lol Dexter Morgan. if you know the show then you get the killer refrence. Thanks to all those ignorant comments about my dog or else I don't know what he would be named. Now I couldn't imagine him as anything else. Oh & btw he couldn't be anything more far from a "vicious killer" if anything he's a goofy gentle dog! who my kids love & he loves them.
|Our puppy, who we will be picking up on June 13th, is a male. I discussed names with my wife and kids. I came up with a list of all German names. We agreed on Hans (short for Hansel) because everyone seemed to like it. So little Hans is on his way!
With my beagle I searched good beagle names and got Harper and she had a name before I even had her. Her name fits her perfect. Than when I got my GSD I tried the same thing.. it was a fail. I didn't like anything on the searches. So I just went on a baby name website and searched german names, because I knew that I wanted something german. I liked Greta, and Adele. I also saw on one website that mika was german but didn't see it on anything else. My husband was stuck on mika and I was stuck on Adele, we couldn't agree. So we searched some more, we had the puppy for about three days before we found a name that stuck, we picked Ada. I liked Adele because because it means noble and kind, which sounds like a german shepherd in my opinion. And Ada means noble as well so it stuck. Lil ms Ada's name fits her too.
So it just depends on u. Either u will find a name that u can't get off of and the pup will fit the name because u love both, or u will meet the pup and he/ she will name herself.
Good luck!
|SoCal Rebell
I am on my 4th GSD first one my dad named Rebell in 1966, he achieved champion obedience status 21 years ago I bought my own GSD and named him Rebell, he passed in 2005 so I got another GSD but couldn't bring myself to call him Rebell, I wanted a name that would instill a little fear so my next one was named Cutter. I purposely give my male 2 syllable name so ne they way you say their name when you accent a syllable he knows your tone and if he in trouble or is getting a direct command. Cutter passed to early at 8.5 years old, newest member is 7 month old Rebell........again
|There were 4 Charlies in daycare.. Angus it is!
|After Alice Cullen. Thought the character would make a good impression of my pup. Smart, sharp, protective.
|my first dog as an adult (GSD/elkhoud cross) was named Chinook because the day I got him there was chinook wind blowing. My second dog (gsd/lab cross) was named Morgan because I was working heavily with morgan horses (she is 13 now and still acts like a pup) my next dog was named Viento, spanish for wind (gsd/? cross), he passed away last summer because of cancer. When I got my new dog, I decided to stick with the wind theme and Zephyr it is. He is my first full GSD and quite the character, I am now kinda wishing I had named him something like breeze or calm waters...maybe it would help mellow him out ;-)
|Skywalkers Mom
|I adopted my guy from a rescue. He was there for awhile as a pup(owner surrender because he would get to big) fools. He is a great dog and friend and sneaky lovely and teacher and learner. They named him Skywalker. The rescue also typed on docs Sky Walker. They are 2 entirely different referrences. But Skywalker fits and works and its totally him.
|Buzz got named after my 4year old wee girl called him it and I thought it really suited him so it stuck

There were some tenuous moments, and a few puzzling tweets along the way, but on Wednesday one of the biggest prizes of BYU's 2013 football recruiting class reaffirmed his commitment to play football for the Cougars. Brayden Kearsley, the 6-foot-6, 298-pound offensive lineman from Aloha High in Beaverton, Ore., donned a BYU cap during a ceremony at his school and said he will sign with coach Bronco Mendenhall's program on Feb. 6 when the early signing period for football begins. Kearsley orginally committed to BYU as a sophomore. But then other schools took interest in the four-star recruit (Scout.com) and he attended several Oregon State games and took an official visit to Washington. A month ago, he told Scout.com that he had narrowed his choices to Oregon State, Washington, Arkansas and BYU, and many took that to mean he had de-committed to BYU. He insisted he hadn't, but wanted to see what else was out there. He re-affirmed his commitment last weekend on his official visit to Provo, then again on Wednesday. A Semper Fi All-American, Kearsley is ranked as the No. 16 offensive guard in the country by Scout.com. There's a very good chance that he will play center for BYU. As reported in this space earlier this week, the Cougars received two more commitments from that big recruiting weekend. Logan High linebacker Chasen Andersen and Josh Carter, a 6-foot-5, 280-pound offensive lineman from Eastern Arizona College, said they will sign on Feb. 6 as well.
Lots of folks out there are wondering what is going on with the BYU football coaching staff changes. This thing seems to be taking forever since Robert Anae was announced as the new offensive coordinator back on Jan. 4.
I heard today from a very good source that former BYU backup quarterback Jason Beck and one-time BYU graduate assistant Steve Clark, now the offensive coordinator at Southern Utah University, were told by Anae last on Tuesday night that they are still candidates for the two open offensive positions (receivers coach, quarterbacks coach).
The presumption is that Beck is in the running for QBs coach and Clark in the running for receivers coach. The men were told last night that Anae and coach Bronco Mendenhall are still figuring things out.

I want to start scanning my collection of 35mm colour slides and bought a PrimeFilm 1800u scanner to do the job, but after the first dozen or so scans decided that I wasn't very happy with the results from the software which came with it. A Microtek brochure seemed to suggest that Silverfast software was better than the software they supplied(!) and my first inclination was to buy that, but then wondered what else might be available that could be better still.
At this stage in what will be a large project I want to make the best possible choice of software, and would appreciate any advice which readers of the forum could give. I am satisfied that my scanner is about the right model for my purposes, my resources are not unlimited and I don't expect I would ever want to print larger than A4.
Many thanks in advance.
Which Software Should I Use?

Prashad v. Copeland, et al.
Our Sponsors
Tanya Prashad served as a surrogate mother for Roberto-Luis Copeland and Philip Spivey. As agreed by all parties, Copeland and Spivey took the child home from the hospital after delivery and have been the child's parents ever since. Prashad later brought a custody action in North Carolina, claiming that the men promised her a permanent relationship with the child. The resulting agreement and court order gave Spivey and Copeland primary physical custody and Prashad secondary custody. When Copeland and Spivey relocated to Virginia, Prashad attempted to register only the parts of the North Carolina order relating to Spivey, the biological father, and herself, essentially asking Virginia to invalidate Copeland's custody rights. The lower courts rejected her arguments and registered the order in its entirety. Prashad appealed to the Virginia Court of Appeals, and Lambda Legal became lead counsel. The Court of Appeals affirmed, holding that registration of the entire North Carolina order was required.
- November 1989 Virginia Court of Appeals rules in favor of Lambda Legal's clients and affirms the registration order.
- September 2006 Gaston County, North Carolina Court of General Justice enters final order, pursuant to agreement of the parties, awarding primary physical custody to Copeland and Spivey and secondary custody to Prashad.
- December 2007 Prashad initiates action in the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court in Fairfax, Virginia, seeking to register only those portions of the North Carolina order relating to her and Spivey, thus invalidating the award of custody to Copeland.
- December 2007 The Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court rejects Prahsad's arguments and registers the North Carolina order in its entirety.
- October 2008 Prashad's appeal to the Circuit Court is rejected as the court affirms the judgment of the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court.
- October 2008 Prashad appeals to the Virginia Court of Appeals.
- March 2009 Briefing is completed.
- June 2009 Oral argument is held.
- November 2009 Virginia Court of Appeals rules in favor of Lambda Legal's clients and affirms the registration order.

Congrats, buddy! Now you can get some sleep for the rest of the weekend!
Except I hope he's not actually reading this thread. The shirt threads are filled with acrimony and hostility.
Seriously, what is WRONG with some of you people? I suggest you consider psychiatric intervention and leaving your mother's basement to get a little exercise.
[See? I can do it, too!]
Gratz once again, no1!
Hear! Hear! Well said, Mademoiselle Duck.
Mean people suck.
No1 on the other hand, at least for now, is #1.
This is not the place to trash no1 (or anyone). We do a ton of kvetching in the derby threads and other community forums.
It's a shame no1's first win is accompanied by so much drama.
Congrats, no1!
I have an easy solution to why the Gateway Arch and the Space Needle are in the same place. Its obviously las Vegas baby! I would be an angry panda to if I lost money in slots.
lordjefe wrote:not to rain on anyone's parade but, this seems dangerously close to idea plagiarism.
granted the design is different, but the title and theme, same. i mean that shirt's been on threadless.com for well over 6 years!
how did nobody notice?
harshing my mellow. That's like saying two posters that both use musical notes are the same.
To be honest, I couldn't for the life of me figure out the design. I saw an old skeleton-key lock shape with maybe two people fighting and some other blobs.
Then I read the description....then I saw the Panda...
I feel dumb D:
slyphox wrote:For a minute there it looked like the blotches were two men fighting. Does this mean I'm actually a genius? #RorschachTest #ToldYouSo
Sweet! That's what I saw too! I didnt see the panda until I was told it was there...I feel better now!
I'm feeling really, really confused right now.
After reading so many comments about the "panda" that's on this shirt, I'm left with one question:
Where the heck do you see a panda?
I feel like this is some artistic interpretation of an ink-blot test, and panda seems to be the thought of the day today.
I see the lines of a keyhole puncturing giant shadow monsters who seem to be attempting to hold on to each other lest they become absorbed into where the hole might lead them.
The one on the right still has his/her legs, while the other seems to be floating due to either magic or otherwise. The hands are obvious, and the two black blots hanging above them could have been their minds.
Sounds strange, I know. I just can't seem to find the freaking panda.
You are waaaay too involved with this. There is a woot-off running as wee speak where you can vent some frustration.
There are 3 designs based on the horsemen of the apocalypse in the final 9 shirts! I can't wait for the screams if one of them is in the top 3!

Hmm. Now after reading the text below the shirt, I get it now.
So much attention for giant pandas. Only on shirt.woot.
That's what I like about the ink-blot design. That means you are certifiably crazy. It took me about 10 seconds to find the panda which proves I'm sane.
The top spots are his ears, the two lower with white dots his eyes, he is looking down, (his head slightly tilted down). The white lines are the outline of his head. The lower white spot is his underwear.
Congrats on your first win and print, no1! You must be super excited I hope I get to experience that feeling some day. I can't even imagine how cool it would be to have people walking around wearing something you created. Enjoy the win!

I saw two people fighting each other, each with a head on a pike or some kind of weird horn. It's not just a shirt, it's a Rorschach test!
Felicidades NUMERO UNO!
This shirt made me laugh. I'm glad it won... Although it'd be so much better with the title on it. Oh well... damn no text rule.
This is brilliant! The best design I have seen on shirt woot in months. Congratulations! I agree with the camp which thinks this is going to be a best-seller. In for one.

Fun play on words, but nobody would figure that out looking at it, they'd just look at the negative space and think you were wearing a faded old japanese t-shirt..
The two guys fighting in front of the keyhole next to the mating roaches really made this design for me. All I saw was some silly Panda at first.
Oragutan Mating Guide!!!! Congratulations!!!!
(And I didn't even vote.)
hmmm....new filters since I've been around here...
It took me forever to see the panda. I thought it was two demons holding hands. What is wrong with my brain!!!
Also, Howard Jones called. He wants his song royalty payments for posting his lyrics.
True story - Howard Jones was the first ever concert I attended. Fantastic musician.
Screw the haters, I love this shirt! Ahah this was an instant-buy. I've been watching shirt.woot ever since it started and this is probably my 4th shirt. Nice one!

Approaching sell out! Congrats. Great shirt!
Super cool design, no1! Destructive scene, yet hip and a little bit cute. And it looks otterific on asphalt!
The name is a play on words that has been done, I'm sure, long before that Threadless shirt came out. Trust me, it's hardly unique. And the fact that the design is very different... I mean closer designs on Woot have been released within a couple weeks of each other.
Is it werid that every time I look at this shirt I see two Rorschach blots fighting over the city? Wonder what that reveals about me?
Nearly sold out... I think this is another one of those Doomsday signs.
For the longest i couldnt see the Panda....all i saw was a guy proposing to his woman
Also, sold out? It's not sold out yet. I clicked on full stats and it doesn't list amounts sold. Where is everybody finding this? I must be looking in the wrong place.
The popularity of this shirt just goes to show once again showing why artists are missing a trick by submitting to Threadless and not woot.
AdderXYU wrote:Votes would dwindle massively.
Cameesa is just about to shut down. Their entire premise was "put money down, and when enough people do, this shirt is GUARANTEED to print". In derby standards, only 50 votes would be needed. Yet it couldn't stay afloat and only rarely printed any new tees, even when supports cost only $10. Most people will NOT allow the access of their funds for a non-guaranteed print. And these were only not guaranteed if less than 50 people wanted the shirt, over the course of months. A woot tee would be not guaranteed for over 97% of the entries, every week. why would people bother voting for all their favorites, or any at all?
I've said a million times, also, that you can't just lock people into their votes. Let's say I want three shirts, but can only afford one of them. Do I have to choose only one to vote for? Because if all three win, I am locked into buying all three. There are any number of reasons this will not and could not work. People should not have to have their money in limbo with no guarantee that it will ever buy them something, and people should not feel forced to spend more than they can afford. If you want 20 of the tees in a derby, you shouldn't have to put money down on all of them.
Multiple accounts are the real issue. Almost everyone at EBW has multi accounts (almost everybody at woot in general does too). I would guarantee there are plenty of votes unattached to sales because people think their kids accounts (why do kids even have accounts) should count for a vote. Then again, it is a panda and unattractive. That is enough for wooters to buy. But the problem with multis is, it is always possible they are attached to real people. Woot cannot judge that.
So the only fair way to alter the derby is to make votes not be the only thing that counts. We KNOW multi-accounts exist. It's easy to do. It's proven to exist. And if we have any concept of finances, we know that we can't force people to buy things. It's unethical in its own way, and will make people unwilling to vote. So the only thing woot can do to change things is to make those multiple accounts and votes-without-intent-to-buy mean nothing by ceasing allowing votes to be the only factor.
Wait, let me guess... You saw demons eating your brain sitting on top of a train going through a tunnel in those ink-blots. Right?

Gotcha. I never knew that!
Fantastic. My husband is thrilled that it won. It was one of 3 from the fog that he wanted. SO glad I checked the site and bought early. I usually can't until very late morning! Can't believe it's already sold out!
I was seriously just about to buy one and they are all gone. My life is over as I know it!
Congratulations No1!! I will buy one tomorrow and wear it proudly.

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Chris Brown
Brown came from a small Virginia town called Tappahannock. Like a lot of kids born during the mid- to late '80s, he was initially into his parents' favorite music but eventually fell under the spell of hip-hop. Around the time he reached puberty, he discovered his singing ability and switched his focus away from MC'ing. A move to New York led to being discovered by Tina Davis, a Def Jam A&R executive who became the singer's manager shortly after losing her position to the Sony-BMG merger. The Jive label, due in part to its track record with younger artists who had established longevity (like Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake), won the bidding war for Brown and lined up several production and songwriting heavyweights, including Jermaine Dupri, Bryan-Michael Cox, Dre & Vidal, Sean Garrett, and Storch, for his self-titled first album. An immediate Top Ten hit when it was released in 2005, Chris Brown not only featured the number one "Run It!" but two other Top Ten singles in "Yo (Excuse Me Miss)" and "Say Goodbye." Exclusive, released in 2007 and a bit of a departure from the squeaky-clean image displayed throughout the debut, was even more successful, featuring the number one single "Kiss Kiss" and two other Top Five hits. Yet another Top Five hit came with "No Air," a duet with Jordin Sparks that appeared on Sparks' own self-titled album.
In March 2009, Brown was charged with felonious assault of Rihanna -- an altercation that had prevented his then-girlfriend from taking the stage at the Grammy Awards. Brown was scheduled to perform as well, but he did not appear and maintained a low profile for several months. A fairly substantial backlash resulted in Brown's songs being pulled from rotation on several radio stations. Ultimately, however, it had little bearing on the progress of his music and acting careers; the week prior to the December release of his third album, Graffiti, the single "I Can Transform Ya" was well on its way to reaching the Top 20 of the Hot 100, and his acting roles -- which had already included spots in Stomp the Yard and a recurring role on The O.C. -- hadn't shown any sign of drying up. Graffiti fell considerably short of gold-selling status, but it was nominated for a Grammy Award in the category of Best Contemporary R&B Album, and the Tank collaboration, "Take My Time," was nominated for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals.
Weeks after the 2011 Grammy Awards ceremony, Brown released his fourth album, F.A.M.E., which already had four singles on the charts. That album topped the Billboard 200 and the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop charts, and it also took the 2012 Grammy for Best R&B Album. During the ceremony, he performed a medley of "Beautiful People" (off F.A.M.E.) and "Turn Up the Music," the latter of which previewed Fortune, his fifth album, released in May 2012 and an immediate chart-topper in the U.S. Brown toured Asia, Europe, and Africa during the rest of the year, and prepped his sixth album. A sequence of several singles that began with "Fine China" preceded X, released in September 2014, two weeks after he pleaded guilty to simple assault (for an altercation with a man, which had occurred the previous October). Less inspired by European dance-pop and more R&B-oriented than his previous release, the album included contributions from Lil Wayne, R. Kelly, Usher, Rick Ross, and Brandy, among many others. Four of its singles peaked within the R&B Top 10. Only five months after the release of X, Brown and Tyga, who had previously teamed up for one of those singles -- "Loyal," as well as the earlier "Deuces" -- teamed up for Fan of a Fan: The Album. By the end of 2015, Brown released Royalty, his seventh proper album, which was propped up by the Top 20 pop hit "Back to Sleep." The following year, "Grass Ain't Greener" and "Party" preceded their early-2017 parent album, Heartbreak on a Full Moon. ~ Andy Kellman

12 lug 41.5 inch semi tires and wheels have that beat ..... on a 3500.
Sad news!!!!
yeah I thought it was fun voting and checking out all the trucks.. Sometimes its easier than going through the member garages since there are so many now since it started. looking at 4 trucks a month was a good way to check out peoples rides.
We should also give [MENTION=37237]mfleetwood[/MENTION] a round of applause for doing a great job last year handling it. Im sure if someone wants to step up to the plate he would be willing to help someone out on the process that needed to be done. There has to be someone willing to do it even if its only on a short term basis.
I know. How much work is it to do?
Really asking? Not being smart a**...
like this?
The sad news is he sold it and never out it back to stock. it's a 06
I might be willing to give it a shot. Need some info before I commit. Someone hit me with some info
??? talk to Steve
Lots of new members constantly joining......Sure would be nice to have this back again... ANYBODY???!!!!
I talked to steve about me doing rotm and he said he was going to make a video to show me. He would not let me wing it. I asked and asked and nothing.. I tride

Roger Federer, Tyson Gay, Ryan Lochte Star In Gillette's Ode To Dad
By Barry Janoff
June 11, 2012: Procter & Gamble has been using the umbrella campaign, "Thank You, Mom," to bring together its brand and athlete endorsers in preparation for the 2012 Summer Olympics.
But in anticipation of Father's Day on June 20, P&G's Gillette is unveiling "Here's To Dad," which is an ode to father's played out to scenes of Roger Federer, Tyson Gay and Ryan Lochte preparing for and then in competition.
The 30-second spot breaks tonight during Game 6 of the NHL Stanley Cup Finals on NBC and other programming, and then goes into regular rotation this week.
To support the commercial, Gillette is searching for the "greatest fatherly advice ever." People are being directed to the brand's social media destinations at Facebook and Twitter (#HeresToDad) between now and June 17 to "share your dad's words of wisdom."
In the spot, we see Federer preparing for a tennis match, Gay getting ready for a track and field event and Lochte prepping for a swimming competition.
A voiceover offers, "The man who coached me. Yelled at me. Supported me. The man who cheered me on. Slapped me on the back. Who stood by me. To the man who made me the man I am today. Here's to Dad. Gillette: The best a man can get."
The spot ends with each man in an apparent victory stance and then a shot of P&G's official Olympic logo with the text: "Here's to Dad." (See the full spot here.)
Lochte and Gay star in their own Gillette commercials, which are currently running.
P&G's "Thank You, Mom" creative will continue through the Olympics, which begin July 27.

And here she is!!!!
The painted mask. Just needs strap. Thanks to my lovely daugther for modeling it.
Hope you Zammer's like it:-)
Hey gang!
I started this Zam/Clawdite sculpt aloong time ago and decided to start over and finally finish it.
Your constructive critisizm is appreciated. I did this sculpt last nite. About 2 1/2 hours work. Still needs alot of work. It needs to look more female like,maybe reduce the jaw and nose some. Thoughts??
Once finished, it will be molded and a wearable latex mask will be made.
I'm working from just the dvd screen cap. Not alot to go by.
This likeness is more challenging than i thought it would be, but then again i trying to capture a CG character in clay. Guess you could say it reverse enginieering it.
Would there be any interest in something like this if i can have ready before CV?

The Myers-Briggs Personality Type Indicator test is designed to identify a person's personality type, strengths and preferences. Senior Elevia Le is an ENTJ, which means extraversion, intuition, thinking and judging. She implemented awareness of her personality when she attended the Beta Gamma Sigma Leadership Forum in St. Louis, Miss., on Nov. 1-4.
Le, an undergraduate in business graduate school, engaged in leadership exercises and workshops to express her particular personality, management and work style. She collaborated with 100 other BGS students to understand ethical practices in the business world and discover how to effectively communicate with employees with varying personalities.
"The charisma and the dynamic of the group made the conference great," Le said. "Everyone was really active and wanted to participate. Working with the same kind of people who are ambitious with high goals and having all that positivity around you makes you want to be a better person."
Dr. Beena George, associate dean and associate professor of management and information systems in the Cameron School of Business, nominated Le for the conference. She was the only student from UST to attend, which she said made Le stretch out of her comfort zone.
Beta Gamma Sigma is the international honor society serving business programs accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business International. Membership in Beta Gamma Sigma is the highest recognition a business student can receive in a business program accredited by AACSB International anywhere in the world. Le was inducted in 2011 when UST received AACSB accreditation.
Not knowing what to expect, Le said the things she learned from the conference has inspired her to re-evaluate her career choices and revamp her leadership methods. Le said patience and self-improvement are strategies she will work to implement in her position as president of the Vietnamese Student Association.
"It made me more aware of the way I talk to people and that makes me a better leader," Le said. "Trying to relate more to people, even if I don't understand why they see it that way, made me realize I need to see things their way in order to get things done."
George said conferences like this help students learn and practice new skills they will need in the business world.
"We try to send students that can come back and disseminate what they learn and heard," George said. "Elevia will incorporate these skills as she finishes her degree. She is very involved and energetic, so she was a great choice for the conference."

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I'd also cut out the milk and eggshells and add more muscle meats/fish to your dogs diet. The chicken bones (As well as the kibble) would meet your dogs daily need of calcium so you don't need it from milk or eggshells.
I would continue to feed the kibble, chicken necks/heads/drumsticks and eggs as you already are and just add a bit of fish (Doesn't have to be a whole one every day, you can cut them up into smaller amounts to feed) or muscle meats (beef, chicken, turkey, lamb, ect) each day. You can add some pumpkin if you want but I wouldn't add more than 1-2 spoonfuls of it each day, dogs don't really need it.
|I had my dog on a raw diet for the last 4 years and used to give pumpkin here and there. It definitely helps firm up a stool, but it gave my dog gas. She always seems to be burping and I only observed this when she was given pumpkin. Like RUA said ditch the milk.
You can give your dog pumpkin, providing that it's cooked first. Nutritionally it's great, but it really shouldn't be his main source of food. Only a supplement. Your pup won't need more than a couple tablespoons a day. So if it's fresh pumpkin you would like to use, than I recommend you roast it in an oven. Once it's cooked, remove the peel, and put the filling into ice cube trays and freeze it. Then you can always have some frozen pumpkin on hand in Tablespoon sized quantities.
As regards the rest of his diet....
Ditch the milk. As Sunflowers said, he doesn't need it and it's likely to cause gastric upset anyway.
Go easy on giving him the eggshells with his lunch if you are giving him kibble. The odd one isn't going to hurt him, but eggshells have a lot of calcium, which can be detrimental for growing pups if they get too much. The eggs can be fed raw if you are in a hurry and don't want to scramble them.
The switching around the adult and puppy formula for kibble could cause tummy upset as well. It would be best to stick with just one that works for your pup.
Supplementing with chicken necks, heads, and fish is all great though. Keep up with that!
|Lauri & The Gang
There is no nutritional need that can be filled feeding large amounts of pumpkin to dogs.
It is fiber - a filler. Good to bind things up when too loose or get things moving when stuck.
This festive gourd is a miracle food for dogs. Good for both diarrhea and constipation, canned pumpkin (not raw, not the sugary, spicy pie filling) is loaded with fiber and beta-carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A. Don't give Buddy a lot of it—too much A is highly toxic to dogs—but a couple of teaspoons a day for little pups, or a couple of tablespoons for big boys, should keep them right on track.

Oh btw just for everyone's info, there was this couple of days I ran out of meat and was too lazy to go to the store and just fed him exclusively kibbles..
It was poop ****... all soft and runny and smelled bad. Yuck.
I can say poop but I can't say h-ell? Haha oh dear..

Supplementing RAW with Pumpkin (raw or otherwise)..
Hey I tried looking around the forum and the only references i can get through the search function is pumpkin with relation to diarrhoea/ runny stools.
My 3mo puppy hasnt really had diarrhoea and his stools have been awesome, only rarely it is soft.
Diet has been....
Breakfast: Milk with about 120 grams of lowest-quality kibble (pedigree). I switch between the puppy formula and the adult formula to get the best balance. /shrugs
Lunch: 3 scrambled eggs with 2 shells, although sometimes he shakes it off. On alternate weeks, he will get a whole raw frozen Glass Eye Squirrelfish (Heteropriacanthus cruentatus).. sometimes red tilapia or pirapitinga/ pacu . (Thats the best/ cheapest I can find here for thiaminase-free fish.)
Dinner: 2 chicken necks, inclusive of head, brain and beak. On alternate weeks, 2 chicken drumsticks. All raw and frozen.
Sometimes when I run out of kibbles, I substitute with 1 chicken neck for breakfast.
Anyways, this little monster is growing like a balloon, and I will be VERY happy to be able to include pumpkin for him so as to manage my future finances better.
From what I know, pumpkin is pretty healthy as far as humans are concerned and even contains a small amount of protein. It has quite a bit of vitamin A, and its seeds are good source of iron.
Does anyone here actually know if it were harmful if I added 1/3 of every meal into pumpkin as he grows up?
For e.g., instead of feeding him 3 chicken necks, I feed him 2 chicken necks + equivalent amount (in relation to 1 neck) in pumpkin.
And lets say its actually okay (pumpkin is hella cheap here, plus I love the taste as well haha), do I give him raw? With skin? With the "guts"? What about the seeds? Or do I have to boil everything?
Possible problems I can guess would be an eventual overload of vitamin A? Iron?
Also, he likes the pumpkin and as usual, his stool is okay I suppose, although Im no vet.
Like i said, its all really financial. The GSD owners here actually feed a very large portion of porridge to meat, even for adult dogs btw and... well, doesnt seem likes theres a problem heh.
I bet if I told them what I feed my GSD, they would probably think Im insane and am made of money.
Actually, these locals Im talking about are the local navy with their working attack dogs. Thats where I got my puppy from. :]

Swedish moderates are urging the government to take a tougher line on immigrants to their nation. Government proposals increasingly have focused on making employment as central to the process of integrating a newcomer within Swedish society. Moderate parliamentarians believe there is misguided benevolence which has resulted in a permissive attitude where, in their view, too many immigrants become dependent for extended periods of time on government subsidies instead of supporting themselves. Of those who secure a residence permit and take part in local introduction schemes only 20 percent are self-supporting after two and a half years with a permit.
The issue raised by Swedish moderates is one found in most nations which welcome immigrants. Ordinarily, immigrants are hard working and tend to avoid seeking government assistance so one is left wondering at what is happening in Sweden. Perhaps, the difficulty lies less in the failure of immigrants to get jobs and more to do with discrimination on the part of employers which prevent the immigrant from obtaining work.
