Aaron Rodgers, Clay Matthews named second-team All-ProPosted by on January 12, 2013 – 12:41 pm
Packers QB Aaron Rodgers and LB Clay Matthews have been named second-team All-Pro by the Associated Press for 2012.
The annual All-Pro team features one player at each position voted as the best for that season. No Packers made the first team, which included Vikings RB Adrian Peterson and Texans DE J.J. Watt as unanimous selections.
Broncos QB Peyton Manning made the first team, with Rodgers the second-team pick at QB. The first-team choices at Matthews' position of outside linebacker were Denver's Von Miller and San Francisco's Aldon Smith.

OK, what QB is better than Aaron? Peyton?? Gimme a break! Give him Comeback of the Year, by all mean. But to suggest he's better than Rodgers is ludicrous!
Who do you give the ball to with one play left, down by 4?

You'd be surprised Tarlam. People will say Peyton more than Rodgers. But the thing is. Rodgers hasn't been in many of those situations because we're up or he tied the game..

Dont you know that every time Payton sneezes that it was done with more talent than any one else in the history of time?

While the packers and a-rog are preparing for the sb Payton and the other 1st teamers will play for the consolation prize which nobody watches. The ap consist of narrow minded writers whose heart bleeds for the afflicted…yes by all means give Payton the nod for comeback qb but don't piss on our leg and tell us it's rainin'
Roll on green roll on

True enough. The media will always favor Payton in ANYthing.
Maybe the only way for Rogers to solidify his standing is to beat Payton in the SuperBowl.

Peyton can be MVP & All-pro First team- Give us a Superbowl.

Thats what Matthews reminds me of on every play.
Both Rogers and Matthews deserve to be there but 2nd team?, no way!

Broncos – Packers Superbowl……A-Rod wins Superbowl MVP again, and i can add to my collection!!!!!
By Tarlam on Jan 12, 2013 | Reply
This seriously angers me! Rodgers wasn't the 1st overall pick. He rode the pine. He did his time. Still, they wanna penalize him?? Cause his name isn't Manning?
Of course I care about championships! But, Rodgers is the closest thing to Bart Starr in Green Bay since, well, Bart Starr! It's a crime to put Manning before Rodgers in the year 2013. And it angers me greatly!

Easy fellows. Of course I would take Aaron over Peyton, but in a way i am glad he was voted over Aaron. You know how he plays when he is overlooked. He plays with a chip on his shoulder. Look out 49ers.
By Leonardo on Jan 12, 2013 | Reply
Whatever. Who cares about media awards? They're almost as bad as fan voting awards. This isn't the Oscars (thank God). As long as Rodgers is concentrating on his next opponent, the Packers can start looking for a place to put the next Lombardi Trophy. The only award that matters.

Peyton Manning has had a longer career, and his team is on top of the AFC during his first season there. It's not just about QB ratings, it's the whole package. I wouldn't change Aaron for anybody, though. I remember how people talked about him when he first came on board, the ridiculous nicknames and such. I don't hear those any more. Go Green Bay!
By ColdBloodedGreen&Gold on Jan 12, 2013 | Reply
It would be poetic justice if Aaron beats Payton in the Super this year.
Then, maybe, the know-it-alls will have to eat their words. The other Manning had the same problem with the media even after winning a Super. It wasn't until last year when everyone inside the media laughed at Eli's claim that he is an elite QB. It wasn't until he won a second Super, and had some 4th qtr comebacks did they finally shut up. Anyways who cares about the Manning's.
Rogers wins and becomes Super MVP this year!

Both mannings cave under pressure….unlike rogers who is more than battle tested under the pile

I hate saying this but……rogers has been sacked more times than groceries. If manning had been sacked like rogers he'd be watching from the sidelines. Both mannings are paper tigers when it comes to toughness

These announcers have done everything during this game short of asking to spoon with Manning! It is ridiculous!!

The guys a great QB but he is NOT God! He gets more calls than any other QB in the history of the game! Come on man

Hello, my friends. Thank you all so much for all your prayers
and energies for Mariella, her pets, me, and Deb.
Its 9:15 pm here and I am just now settling down to relax a
bit :) Have been on the phone with Mariella's contacts most
of the evening after getting home from the hospital tonight.
I went to her house on my lunch hour to make sure the
animals have water and food, and to let them out to do their
'business'. However, they didn't want to go! There's got to be
a trick to this!
When I went to see Mariella tonight she looked extremely tired
and worn out. She said when they sat her up today, her blood
pressure shot up extremely high on both levels. Said they are
giving her blood pressure meds via IV to try and get it down.
Cant help but be concerned about this development, but she is
in the right place to get it resolved, thankfully. She doesn't
have much of an appetite yet. They brought her a food tray
while I was there (her first bit of solid and liquid sustenance
since Thursday!). (They checked her throat muscles to be
sure they are working and she wouldn't choke, and determined
it was ok for solid food and liquid). Since she is right handed
where the paralysis is, it was awkward using her left hand,
but with some help from me, we managed. Yet, she only ate
about two bites from each dish, and a couple of sips of milk,
juice, and tea. Her left side and butt is in pain laying on it for
so long, even tho the staff comes in and tries to rotate her
to ease the pressure, she soon falls back into that position.
I hope she gets a good night's sleep tonight.
Her friend from Calif got in tonight and went to see her. That
perked her up quite a bit (yeah :) I will take off work tomorrow and
meet with her and her husband and Mariella, so we can formulate
plans re the animals, etc.
I so appreciate each and every one of you, I can't thank you
enough for your loving and caring hearts and energies. And so
does Mariella, as I told her Sunday the Shirleygang is surrounding
her as we speak with Love and Light and Healing energies for
her highest good. She is very grateful and thanks you all so so
Love you all...Peg
Keeping the three of you and her fur babies in my prayers. Great news that she has a 90% chance of recovery. Please give her a hug.
Peg and Deb,
I read the initial post on Sunday but didn't have time to make a response.
I have been sending her loving, healing energy ever since.
Thank you, Peg, for being such a good friend and going to check on her.
Without you she would still be on her floor.
I'm glad she wants to stick around for Dec. 21st. :) LOL! I think, if anything, it will be the beginning of something rather than the end of the world. By now, anyone who knows that date should be ready to really start making a change in their self to make a better world for all.
Much love,
Gosh, she is so lucky that Peg listened to her intuition to check on her.
And I am sure it is so hard for her to be thinking of her fur babies at home while she recovers.
Thank God for good friends~:)
Sending prayers for her to have a speedy recovery!
God Bless~
So happy to hear that MamaSaki is doing much better and there is a directive for her rehabilitation. Peg is takign care of the homefront along with Phyllis and they seem to have everything under control.
Continuing to sending loving healing energies to MamaSaki and also sending lovign energies to Peg and Phyillis as they assist in getting everything in order to assist MamaSaki.
Thanking you all for your continued support in this situation.
Love, Deb
Just an update on Mariella...
She seems to be holding her own, but her blood pressure
still skyrockets when they sit her up. They do not yet
know what is causing this. Needless to say, she can't go
to rehab until this problem is fixed. She is awfully tired
and isn't eating much. So please continue to surround
her with loving energies for the highest good.
Her dog and cat are doing well. I'm sure they miss her
lots. I go there during my lunch hour and after work.
Had a doggy door installed that Mariella had ordered
previously, and now both of them go in and out freely,
thank goodness! They are eating well too.
So thank you all once again for your prayers and uplifting
energy for all. It is so appreciated...
There is an interesting related website at http://pamelaannezell.com/. For more information see the latter part of http://www.blogtalkradio.com/sierra...gypt-and-sedona.
Thanks Steven. I've bookmarked her website
and will explore it.
You have a blessed day and a wonderful holiday.
Hi Peg,
Glad to hear that Mariella is holding her own. I hope they are able to bring her blood pressure under control soon. It's probably the reason she feels so tired and isn't eating well.
Thank goodness for the doggy door!
You really are a good friend. I am sure you are very much appreciated by Mariella and the animals. I wanted to let you know it too. :)
Prayers continued for all involved and may god bless her heart. Ill be senfing out healing energies to her. Get well soon!

What your engagement ring says about you
Oval engagement ring
Your style: In a word (okay three): Over the top.
Your relationship: Together you are more than the sum of your parts.
Your wedding: Colorful and cool, with a very polished edge. No detail will be overlooked.
Ring by Penny Preville
Video:Hot Wedding Rings, Pt. 1>
Round engagement ring
Your style: Traditional. You always look utterly put together.
Your relationship: Bottom line: you're marrying your best friend. Here's to a lifetime of sharing inside jokes and having someone really get you.
Your wedding: Relaxed, romantic and unfussy. It takes a lot of planning to make things look this effortless, but you'll pull it off.
Ring by Diamond Ideals
Emerald-cut engagement ring
Your style: Sophisticated socialite — aka uptown girl.
Your relationship: You're the girl of his dreams and he's totally in awe.
Your wedding: Voted "can't miss" event of the season (and not just by your mom). Destined to be the party where everyone hits the dance floor.
Ring by Tacori
Cushion-cut engagement ring
Your style: You take your cues from the Grace Kellys of the world — legendary women who demand to be set apart.
Your relationship: He lets you be ... well, you.
Your wedding: So elegant and timeless that no one will be able to date the wedding photos afterward.
Ring by De Beers
Princess engagement ring
Your style: Lover of all things sparkly.
Your relationship: He treats you like a … yep, total princess.
Your wedding: You may or may not arrive by horse-drawn carriage, opt for the biggest ball gown or sport the tallest tiara — but you're bound to have a royal blast.
Ring by Jeff Cooper
Pear engagement ring

Your wedding: Pure glamour. You'll create an enchanted atmosphere that wedding guests will never forget.
Ring by A.Jaffe
Heart-shaped engagement ring
Your style: Shameless romantic.
Your relationship: We bet your man is head over heels. Why? Guys don't exactly gravitate toward heart-shaped objects. So we're thinkin' he's all about making you smile.

Massachusetts' education agencies have collaborated on a new website – "Building the Foundation for College and Career Success for Children from Birth through Grade 3." It's a public resource that will share information on the state's promising efforts to build a birth-through-grade-three policy agenda that will help children achieve success in school and later in life.
"By creating this agenda," the website explains, "we will enhance the quality of educational and other services provided to children and families and also increase policy alignment and collaboration among our state education agencies – the Department of Early Education and Care, the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, and the Department of Higher Education."
The birth-through-grade-three agenda will also "strengthen essential partnerships with educators, parents and families, local and state officials, legislators, community and business partners, and other members of the commonwealth," enabling the state to make an even stronger commitment to its children.

No, it's not a mistake! The well-known German tuner Irmscher specialized in customizing Opel vehicles has recently broadened its horizons. The tuning company made a partnership with Peugeot in order to apply its tuning experience also on the French manufacturer's vehicles. The first vehicle which benefited from these new horizons was the Peugeot 4007 SUV , first shown at 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show.
Then in order to support Peugeot's 2008 Le Mans entry with the 908 HDI FAP the new partnership produced the RC Line for the entire Peugeot model range. Now the German tuning company is showing a special kit for the Peugeot 407SW which includes: special chrome grill, front spoiler extension, side skirts, roof spoiler and 18" alloy wheels.

DUNEDIN, Florida - Lost, somewhat, in the chatter about R.A. Dickey's opening day start, Mark Buehrle's mound punctuality and Ricky Romero's move to the pitching rotation's fifth spot is Josh Johnson.
Johnson, 29, is entering the most important season of his career. Surely he has noticed some of the money being thrown around for all-star caliber pitchers? Felix Hernandez just re-signed in Seattle for seven years and $175-million. Cole Hamels re-upped with the Phillies last July for $144-million through 2017. Already there is talk that Justin Verlander (Detroit) and Clayton Kershaw (LA Dodgers) could become the first $200-million pitchers. With franchises signing lucrative regional television contracts by the bushel, there is cash aplenty for a flamethrower like Johnson, who mixes a 97 mph fastball with a cutter, a slider and a recently developed curve ball.
"If you win, things will take care of themselves," said Johnson. "All of a sudden you're labeled a winner and that can change (your value.) You see guys who pitch pretty good during the season and then throw a zero-ERA through the playoffs and all of a sudden they get paid a little bit more. I think it'll take care of itself as long as I go out there and win games for this team."
Johnson is a full year removed from shoulder trouble that limited him to nine starts in 2011. While he made 31 starts last season, the Minneapolis native struggled to an 8-14 record. His 3.81 ERA was the highest of his career in any year he has made at least 14 appearances. The key, though, is that Johnson stayed healthy.
"I feel good right now," said Johnson, an all-star in the 2009 and 2010 seasons when he combined to win 26 games. "I'm doing all the work to make sure (my shoulder stays healthy) and I've just got to continue that to make sure it happens."
The hulking six-foot-seven-inch right-hander, acquired in November's monster trade with the Marlins, is an imposing sight at his locker situated between those of Buehrle and Dickey. He towers over most of his teammates. Standing atop the mound adds another 10 inches and for opposing hitters, well, you get the picture.
"When he's on top of his game, he's one of the best pitchers in the game," said Jose Reyes, who had a .214 career average in 31 at-bats against Johnson before joining him last season in Miami. "As a hitter you have to put all the great (pitches) he has in your mind. That's tough when you face a pitcher with so much good stuff. I'm happy to be on his side."
Reyes knows of what he speaks. He took batting practice against Johnson on Monday and handed out shards of a bat to youthful onlookers. The bat had belonged to Emilio Bonifacio, grouped with Reyes for batting practice, but shattered when Johnson jammed him with a cut-fastball.
Ricky Romero uses the term "horse" to describe Johnson. Mark Buehrle echoed, "He can be a workhorse if he has to." Manager John Gibbons has Johnson slotted in his rotation's fourth spot.
"We're counting on him, we need him. It wasn't too long ago he was one of the top two, three pitchers in the game, reputation and what he accomplished," said Gibbons. "He's always had that overpowering arm. When you're that size, he's intimidating, that ball gets on (the hitter) a little quicker."
A big season from Johnson benefits both team and player. It could help to propel the Blue Jays to their first playoff appearance since 1993 and it would pave the way for Johnson to sign one of those big-money contracts that are becoming all the rage.
- Ricky Romero, who described today's bullpen session as "okay," says his elbow feels healthy. His knees continue to give him issues.
"It's kind of give and take," said Romero. "You have your good days and your bad days. It's one of those things where I'm trying to get the little things done. Keep them loose and not let them get achy and tight. We'll just see how they continue to feel everyday."
Romero developed tendinitis in both knees toward the end of last season.
- More Romero: If the 28-year-old former ace is upset about being at the back end of this year's rotation, he isn't showing it.
"Why should it affect me? If anything it helps me," said Romero. "It helps the team and I've always said, 'it's about the team, it's not about me.' I've never been an ego type guy where I feel like my pride is being hurt. Like I said, I know what I've done my first four years in the big leagues and I know last year was a struggle."
If the plan holds, Romero's first start of the season would be April 6, against Boston, at the Rogers Centre.
- Mark DeRosa, who turns 38 on February 26, is situated next to Brett Lawrie in the Blue Jays' locker room. They also hit in the same batting practice group on Monday.
DeRosa signed a one-year deal on January 22. Considered the "25th man," the holder of the so-called "final roster spot," DeRosa is being asked to provide leadership to youngsters like Lawrie.
- Monday was photo day at Florida Auto Exchange Stadium. The first batch of players went to the shoot, located in the concession area along the first base grandstand, at 7:45 EST. It was about 5C at the time, prompting plenty of comments about the temperature.
- Anthony Gose randomly leapt over the fence down the right field foul line on his way to get his photos taken, clearing the four-foot high barrier with ease.

Ellis, Deborah
Children's Fiction HQ784.W3 E44 2008
Summary: Society of School Librarians International Honor Book Deborah Ellis has been widely praised for her gripping books portraying the plight of children in war-torn countries. Now she turns her attention closer to home, to the children whose parents are soldiers fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq. In frank and revealing interviews, they talk about how this experience has marked and shaped their lives.The children, who range in age from 7 to 17, come from all over North America. They were interviewed on military bases, in the streets, in their homes and over the phone. The strength of Off to War is that the children are left to speak for themselves, with little editorial interference beyond a brief introduction. Includes a glossary, a list of organizations and websites and suggestions for further reading.

Five Best Energy Efficient LED Desk Lamps
We often mention the importance of a good task chair or desk when it comes to home office ergonomics. But almost as important is a good desk lamp, since we think your eyes are just as important as your backside, back and shoulders. LED desk lighting is where home office lighting is trending toward, but finding an affordable option can be a task since the lighting technology hasn't quite become standard. Here are 5 (fairly) affordable LED desk lamps to light up your life...
Z-Bar High Power LED Desk Lamp: this our favourite amongst the bunch, as it articulates in every which way, thanks to the lamps three joints. The 66 LED lights only uses 8.8 watts with an estimated 40,000 hour light life, offering both warm or daylight settings. Available in red, metallic black and silver for $169.95.
The Libra Desk Lamp: looks like it was designed to complement an Apple setup, doesn't it? The 280 lumen LED lamp creates an 120 degree light spread with a simple on/off switch on the base and controls for 100% to 10% brightness adjustment. $247.25 at TheLEDLight.com.
Humanscale Element LED Task Light this design is one you'll either love or hate, with a very unique light head component which contains a single multi-chip LED and bears a striking resemblance to an Apple Mighty Mouse with heat sinks. 360 swivel base and 60,000 hour lifespan, this is built to last and starts at $395.
Grandrich 1.2W LED Desk Lamp: it's not going to win any design awards, but for $29.99 this KMart special isn't going to break the bank like the lamps above.
Mini-Z LED Desk Lamp: If you like the Z-Bar model up above, but can't sport the $169 and can do with just 40 super-bright LEDs instead of 66, the Mini-Z LED Desk Lamp is available for $99 from ThinkGeek. The 36" long light sips about 7.2 Watts and can be clamped to table surfaces.

I've been thinking of replacing my desk lamp with LED. My old halogen throws off way too much heat.
If only they made LED replacements for those halogen double ended tubes...
I own both the Human Scale and the The Ecolight by IMG Lighting. The Human scale is a bit too expensive, but husband like it. He's a dentist and thought it would be funny to have it. ha ha ha =( grrr. . Dollar for dollar EcoLight is my favorite LED Desk lamp that I have come across it blends well with the Macs I have at home and its far and way the brightest LED lamp there. 600 lumens. And the color warmth and sharpness is spot on (its got dual warm and white LEDs).
I think alot of us as consumers keep seeing low wattage advertised but are never told how bright a lamp is or the color of it. Alot of LED lamps aren't bright enough and the color that it gives off can be too stark. The lamps listed only put out 280 lumens or 140 lumens or some figure like that. That isn't enough to read.... The recommend min is something like 500 lumens.
The ECO Light LED Desk Lamp by the IMG Lighting Company is also one of the less expensive ones $129 is a really good price. They've got a list of different considerations to look for in an LED lamp on their webite.
I own the Z bar. It's a great color of light, but it does have a few downsides. One, is that it throws off 6 individual light sources, so everything can have 6 shadows. It works best bounced off a wall. Also, for LEDs, I was surprised at how hot the last bar got. You also can't put it on a lightswitch because it doesn't maintain it's previous setting.
My wife and I were looking for a pair of LED desk lamps for our studio. We live in NY so we have a small space so a compact, but very bright lamp was very much what we were looking for. I was looking at the apartment therapy post and I was thinking about the Z-bar but then reconsidered when I saw that listings that it wasn't very bright. We looked at Office Max and a store rep said for us to check out one of their Lumiy Lightwing 1200, and we also went to Lumiy's website. Lumiy's got a nice range of lamps so we went for the Lightblade 1500 - its got the dual cool and warm white LEDs and its 1100 lux (very bright).
We're very happy with their our lamps. I can tell why people say that LEDs lights are better for the eyes than CFL.

The Continuing Evolution of Video CodecsJuly 1, 2014 6:39 pm | by Stephen Wright, Software Architect, Openwave Mobility | Comments
The current dominant codec for Internet video is H.264, but there are influential companies dedicated to alternatives. With the advent of 4K (aka Ultra HD), new codecs will be useful. H.265 (aka HEVC) and VP9 could split the market, and another approach from Mozilla, called Daala, may prove to be a wild card.

Above: A song about the Utah Radiation Control Board. If you are old enough to remember it, you still might not qualify for Medicare.
- Radioactive choice: Senate right to delay confirmation - Salt Lake Tribune Editorial
Given that the decisions to be made will have an impact on Utah for thousands of years to come, waiting a month to vote on the makeup of the state's new Radiation Control Board seems reasonable.
The chairman of the state Senate committee in charge of the matter was right Wednesday to put a hold on two of Gov. Gary Herbert's nominations to the reconstituted board. The other six nominees were approved by the Senate, but Sen. Ralph Okerlund, R-Monroe, rightly decided that his panel should take a longer look at two candidates who, arguably, would be better cast as advocates who appear before the board rather than as members of the review panel. ...
- Fighting fat: Junk-food limits can work - Salt Lake Tribune Editorial
For those parents who are at their wits' end, trying to deal with their children's obesity, new research shows part of the answer could lie at school.
Children who live in states with strong, consistent laws limiting availability of unhealthy snacks at schools gained less weight from fifth through eighth grades than did children in states with no such limitations. Also, children who were overweight or obese in fifth grade were more likely to reach a healthy weight by eighth grade if they lived in states with the toughest laws. ...
- Study on school snack nutrition rules something to chew on - Deseret News Editorial
- Don't deport: Cut some young aliens a break - Salt Lake Tribune Editorial
When President Obama announced in June that young adults who had been brought to this nation illegally as children could be given a temporary deferment from deportation, Republicans cried foul. The president, they said, was imposing the Dream Act through unconstitutional executive fiat.
Yes, the president's action is a brazen political move in an election year.
But, no, he isn't hijacking the Constitution. ...

To perform a search, enter a keyword, phrase or item number in the search field and click "search."
We offer two ways to locate information:
Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.
This wine has nice minerality and citrus fruit in the nose, as well as golden apple and pink grapefruit nuances, due to the cool vintage and the extended hang time. Sebastiani used a lighter oak regime than in the past in order to showcase its beautiful elegance and silkiness.
The bright acidity keeps the fruit and texture nicely in balance, and the finish is laced with vanilla and praline flavors. For those who have grown tired of fat, oaky California Chardonnays, here is a refreshing departure from that style.
"This nicely balanced and carefully crafted wine conveys neither head-turning richness nor compelling complexity, but it gets it right in terms of constant, very well-defined varietal fruit and is a complete and genuinely appealing drink. It polished on the palate and brightened by a welcome bit of fruity acidity, and it is nothing short of an out and out bargain at the price. GOOD VALUE"

ATLANTA -- Former Seattle SuperSonics guard Gary "The Glove" Payton was among seven people elected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
Joining Payton in the class of 2013 are current Louisville head coach Rick Pitino, former NBA stars Bernard King and Gary Payton, former UNLV coach Jerry Tarkanian, North Carolina women's coach Sylvia Hatchell, former University of Houston coach Guy Lewis, former University of Virginia star Dawn Staley.
Payton was a nine-time All-Star, a nine-time All-Defensive player first team and was 1996 Defensive Player of the Year. He holds the Sonics record for points, assists and steals. He later won an NBA title with the Miami Heat in 2006. He's also won Olympic gold medals in 1996 and 2000.
Payton was a notorious trash-talker. David Locke, the Utah Jazz radio announcer, says Payton told him he talked trash to every player in the NBA with the exception of one: Spokane native and fellow hall-of-famer John Stockton, saying he had too much respect for him.
Pitino's Cardinals were set to face Michigan Monday night for the NCAA Championship.
The inductions will take place in Springfield, Mass. in September.
Inductees announced previously were Edwin E.B. Henderson, a direct elect by the Early African Pioneer Committee, longtime Indiana Pacers guard Roger Brown, Oscar Schmidt of Brazil, the leading scorer in Olympic history, Richie Guerin, a star for the New York Knicks in the 1950s, and Russ Granik, the longtime assistant commissioner of the NBA.

The coolest cats in town celebrate the golden era of swing with a contemporary edge.
The Kings of Swing and the Kings of Swing Orchestra will perform at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 6, at the Peabody Auditorium in Daytona Beach.
Under the direction of Paul Francis, three of Europe's best swing vocalists perform the greatest hits of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Nat King Cole and Tony Bennett along with more recent hits by Michael Buble and Brian Setzer. Hear "Mr. Bojangles," "Mack the Knife," "Fly Me to the Moon," "Everybody Loves Somebody," "I Get a Kick Out of You," "New York New York" and other swing songs performed with flair by international musicians.
What began as a headline show for the 2003 summer season in the Blackpool Tower Ballroom in Great Britain, the Kings of Swing show was an instant hit.
