Welp folks it was a fun run for Bucky but it looks like the ride is over. Because if there's one thing I know for certain it's that the Sports Illustrated cover jinx is for real. Some people will tell you it's a myth but a true sports fan knows that's mere folly. Unicorns are a myth. Sasquatch is a myth. Saturated fat is a myth. The Sports Illustrated jinx is as real as the sun setting in the west and the government administering mind control devices in our tap water*. So it's been a blast living and dying with this team for the past two and a half weeks but it looks like that comes to an end on Saturday. Kentucky, Florida, and UConn clearly had boosters sending bags of money with money symbols on it to Sports Illustrated headquarters to make sure their team didn't grace the cover this week. Not surprising, those three programs have been to this level a lot more than us. I'm sure the cash was already on it's way Sunday night. Can't blame Wisconsin, we just don't have the experience factor. But paying off SI once your team is on the verge of a title is day 1 stuff.
* Buddy of mine introduced me to Drudge Report last week. Conspiracy city and I'm in hook, line and sinker. I'll probably sound and look like Randy Quaid from Independence Day by the end of the month.
PS: Unless this is one of those regional covers where we get Wisconsin, Kentucky gets Kentucky etc etc.? What happens then? Everyone loses like a double fatality in Mortal Kombat?

So did the hero impale the idiot on the unicorn's horn?
Huh? WTF? How do you implement progress bars?
A sparkling unicorn? My pony senses are tingling... :)
I think I speak on behalf of everyone.
We need that gif.

So, by your standards PHP is also terrible. I'm not complaining - just verifying that your logic is consistent.
There's still debate about that??
There are people who think PHP isn't terrible?
PHP has frameworks that allow you to not merge implementation and document structure. But PHP, as usually used, is friggin' terrible. It's Classic ASP with PERL-like syntax, which is roughly equivalent to the product of a forced mating between a hippopotamus and a duck-billed platypus.
Which language matches which organism can be left as an exercise to the reader.
Well, it is a good idea. Not the unicorn part, that is more a matter of taste. But slowing down processing to enhance the UX may sound like a sin to engineers but often it is really helping the customer to understand what happens. Not automatically the best solution here, but sounds reasonable to me.
TRWTF is that the file was not URL-encoded after the fancy file upload GIF being shown by client-side JS...
...but that would make the client's browser work. Nah, the server must to do it! He have to show his worth!
I'm sorry, TRWTF is Jens.
I know nothing of web development, but surely there's a way to do the delay on the client end for the sake of animation. What if a different function wanted to upload a file and they don't want no spiffy animation. Now it takes them all the extra time to get files uploaded because there's some ui delays in the server end.
Unicorn is making story more cornier. I think this is the story of Remy and his boss.

The old way of web 1.0: with an animated gif
Each frame of the gif is part of the progressing bar... and loop forever, just in case it take longer than expected by the timer in the animated gif.
It's similar to the Remaining Time: 10s, 2 hours, 8 s, 5 days... of some downloading browsers.
I second the motion: we need that gif.
Finally, we'll have something to stick it to that nyan cat.
I find it funny how every wtf article ends up with people claiming one language or another is the WTF. It is surprising that one of the largest commonalities among developers (and the distinction between inferior developers and good ones) is that they are all brashly convinced that the coding language they choose to use is the single best solution and all other languages, platforms and technologies are inferior.
I, for one, will use any language to equal effect (except cold fusion... but that is OBVIOUSLY not designed for professional use... or Flash, which is clearly modeled for designers and not programmers... and other such tools that are obviously inappropriate). In my experience, I have seen JSP and ASP.NET websites perform the same functionality with a lower performance threshold as vbscript or php websites... due to the inexperience or stupdity of the coder. They were probably fools that were simply using a technology they didn't understand because some idiot convinced them that it was best.
Hopefully.. my fellow developers will move forward and judge the quality of the code and not their enthusiasm for the technology exectuting it.

Nice unicorns you have there :D
"I think it's foolish to look down on any language except this one that I look down on."
When you get down to it, each language is exactly the same- they're all (or mostly all) Turing Complete, and hence can be used to solve any problem. But there's a difference between being able to solve a problem and their ability to solve a problem elegantly.
Mixing implementation with document structure is bad, unless you actually validate them both (like Razor syntax). And Razor isn't really implementation- it's letting you define document structure programmaticly, but it's entirely, 100% about doing document structure.
I look down on all languages includes English.

1. Didn't say I look down on other languages... just said that I choose not to use the ones that are not designed for my role. I don't look down on Flash and Cold Fusion... they just are designed with a different intent in mind... and one that is incompatible with what I do (professionally speaking).
2. I agree about the implimentation strategies... but most of the major development platforms do have advantages... and ways to utilize them to maximum effect. Most of them also have ways that a novice can do what they are attempting and produce unintended results. I just look down on the developers that seem to equate learning something new with an indication that they may be inferior and therefore judge all that they do not know as being inferior instead.
I'm not sure what the WTF is supposed to be. This is actually something that is done and works.
People want to feel that something is happening, and computers often do it really fast. Slowing it down makes them think it worked harder. One of the major tax companies does this with their online tax software. It spends like 5 seconds 'loading' my account, when I know good and well that it's already loaded when I logged in.
I've heard other usability stories that say their customer opinion improved when they showed a loading bar in certain places that it was expected, instead of just doing things fast.
If there's any real WTF here, it's people. And not the one who implemented the loading bar here.
Given who anonymized this article, I very strongly doubt that the animated GIF in question was actually of a unicorn.
And PHP was designed with a different intent in mind- because it couldn't possibly have been designed to be a modern web development language.
PHP, like Flash and Cold Fusion, isn't fit-for-purpose. Its popularity arises, not from any inherent quality of the language, but because of the prevalence of its deployment on cheap web hosts.
I'll say this much: PHP is better than using CGI to do web development.
I am so going to steal this.
Re: Fruity Loop
2012-07-30 11:35 • by Some Jerk (unregistered)
it is actually quite simple... but one of those things that you improve on over time. For one thing... the progress graphic should have been small enough to load more quickly. Secondly, if it was a real progress bar, it might have ajaxed the status, or used a similar means of retrieving that information. Finally, The server process should not have been tied up longer than necessary. If need be, report a success / fail and use javascript to forward the user on after an interval. Windows Server 2000 and before will only process a limited number of concurrent requests ... and even classic asp implimentation on later servers have some limitations in that regard. Hanging a thread for 15 seconds unnecessarily will have consiquences.

PHP is designe daround the idea of text templating with code infrastructure behind it. Though it is certainly incompatable with my typical development workflow, I acknowledge that for plain text rendering it is an innovative approach. PHP also uses true standard coding architectures while not removing the intent... which is to create a template that represents the desired output.
It is not my favorite language... but I must acknowledge that it has its' strengths. Consider ASP.NET, which I use 70-80% of my time over the past decade. It originated with the intent to obfiscate the distinction between client and server in order to deploy a code structure... which I always despised. MVC provided a more elegant way of bringing code to an application... and if anything the entire platform became MORE similar to php.
Not saying that you are wrong... just saying that this is a matter of perspective. The tools that I don't use are typically developed for people who are not me... designers or prototypers or other such critters. But php, unlike any other web hosting platform, was designed ONLY for web development.
It only took a few years, but you finally said something funny!
Or, even better, preload the animation. The user is going to have to go find the file to upload anyway, may as well use that time to load the progress bar graphics rather then wait until after they have already found it and stick a useless delay in.
It only took a few years, but you finally got a joke.
No, "Nagesh" really is tediously unfunny 99% of the time. About the only thing this persona consistently succeeds at is being annoying. If that's what you're going for, well... sucks to be you.
Can we please stop repeating this vacuous truth? Turing-completeness only applies if you're willing to dedicate an unbounded amount of memory and wait an unbounded length of time for your solution.
Problems in the real world come with hardware, time, and programming effort constraints, so no, just because a language is Turing-complete does not mean it can be used to solve any problem.
Hurrah - the first time in an article by Remy that I guessed the Cornify word first time!
Captcha: iusto - two levels higher than gusto.
If recycling "can I haz teh codez" jokes ad nauseum is "funny", then I am grateful that it took me this long to get it...
Doing templating with code infrastructure behind it is one of the fastest ways to generate unmaintainable spaghetti code.
WebForms is also terrible, although for different reasons (look at Node.js to see how event-driven web programming is done correctly). I'm fairly certain Alex built this site in WebForms, but that doesn't change the fact that WebForms was hideous and makes the dolphins cry.
PHP was designed for web development, in theory, but given the core design decision was that it should mix code and document in a single file, it is not good for web development. You can make it good for web development by never using it the way it was designed, but once you leave a certain level of small scale applications, you're going to bump into serious problems with the PHP architecture.
Code is code. Document/presentation is document/presentation. You shouldn't mix them any more than you should put data access code in your view classes.
It certainly can- it just might not be useful for doing it in practice. I think it's an important truth, because it forces you to identify the elements that are the same in every language. Programming is programming, and once you understand how to program, the choice of language is based on the problem you're trying to solve.

Spoken like a true enterprise developer. Have you forgotten that for every website with a complex business model, there are nearly 100 which require only a handful of basic CRUD operations?
I have never liked the implementations of enterprise applications in php... I agree with you on that. But on smaller, or more basic scale web applications, and most especially communication portals and such... it is appropriate to the task and does not become combersome to modify even without the abstraction between automation and presentation. I think the comment about "choosing what is appropriate to the task" is a much better definition than deciding that php is no longer good for websites.
There are lighter, simpler, and more developer friendly programming frameworks than PHP.
You can write good, easy to maintain applications in PHP. I've done a bunch. PHP handles the CRUD operations, and the UI is implemented in pure HTML/JavaScript, and they communicate over a RESTful API.
PHP is fine- if you don't use it the way it was designed.
TRWTF is not using a Data URI for the GIF, so that it would not need to be downloaded.

And that is the test of a TRUE developer. I (for one) don't make any specific point to use anything exactly in the way that it was intended. Programming is like math... the more complex the expression is, the more paths there are to a solution. It is silly to think that every possible path has been used in the first place. I take enjoyment in finding a hidden trail that nobody uses... perhaps not for the purpose of adding it to future implimentations of code... but more in the spirit of discovering new potential in my tools.
"Joke"??? Is that what you've been trying to do all these years?
Jebus on a pogo stick, you really should have told us. Cuz your jokes are... well... not funny. At all. Non-epic but complete fail.
In principle, this is absolutely correct. However, making a small upload take 15 seconds does cross the line into a WTF.

fly over art | beyond 9th avenue | in the new frontier | dim with beauty
as some of you know i run a few regional art blogs here on tumblr. they've been inactive for several months (apart from dim with beauty, which only has a week and a half left of posts in the queue) and i'd made promises to continue posting at a later date but as time has gone on i don't think that's a promise i can keep. i've just gotten really busy with other things and have lost the motivation to keep those projects going. though from the outset i was never planning on keeping them going forever, and could never have anticipated they'd be as successful as they have been (for instance, fly over art was featured on the tumblr art spotlight and has about 74k followers).
anyway, i have some drafts saved for each blog and i think i'll queue those up and let them run their course. i may pick up these projects again at a future date, maybe expand into different platforms, but i'm not going to make any promises.
all four blogs are archived and feature their own internal directories. so you can search artists on each blog's respective archive page "url+/archive" or you can search artists by state, city or medium on the states page, "url+/states". i've also provided a full artist directory for each blog "url+/artists".
thanks to all of the artists out there! to the lesser known ones: i hope i've been able to in some small way promote your work and keep you motivated to continue with your amazing practices.
to all the followers: thank you for your incredible support and patience. i hope you've enjoyed the artwork i've shared and have gained inspiration from all of the amazingly talented people out there.
to all the other art bloggers out there who have been going strong for years: i don't know how you manage. you're crazy but that's why we love you. i certainly have a new found respect for what you do. keep up the good work.
i hope you have all enjoyed the sites, thanks for your support.
-nate burbeck
urbanhiking-ami said: How do you choose who to feature on this blog? Do you choose the photos or do you ask people to submit their work? I have a photography blog called Urban Hiking and was wondering.
We find artists to post through our research and also through submissions we receive. Recently we've been taking a break from posting but will hopefully be back to posting again on a more regular basis in the future.
If you'd like to submit your work we have email instructions listed on our About page, as well as a Submission page through the tumblr interface.
Tonight at 8:30 ET 7:30 CT we launch our final sister blog for the Southern United States - dim with beauty!
we'll be taking another break from posting. while we're away be sure to check the archives (or spice it up by clicking the random tab).

My newly compiled list of lifestyle and design trends details what consumers want in a home now and in years to come.• Smaller homes. According to the results of a recent AIA Design Trends Survey, there is a growing interest in smaller home sizes and volumes due to an effort to contain energy costs. The era of the McMansion could be over, and a significantly higher number of architects have reported demand for smaller homes. The key is to create scale and function over size, while creating more financially attainable homes.• Private outdoor spaces. Almost all homeowners—whether baby boomers, empty nesters, or Gen Y—want less maintenance and more privatized outdoor space to gather and entertain without the neighbors watching. This design trend can be achieved by positioning architecture around the outdoor space or by allowing the outdoor space to pierce architecture, affording more living spaces in the house to be exposed to the outdoor area.• Better indoor/outdoor connectivity. The use of large floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding doors brings the outdoors into the home experience. These thresholds to the outdoors offer more light and access to private outdoor space, resulting in the interior feeling like it extends beyond the walls.• Covered outdoor rooms. These outdoor rooms expand the utility of adjoining interior spaces. The rooms become outdoor retreats, providing intimate relaxing spaces, still covered and protected, but open to the outdoors. Often these spaces include a stone fireplace to complete the living room feel.• Personalization. Whether for a resale or a new home, consumers are looking to find and purchase feature elements that reflect their personal tastes and preferences, from kitchen products and bath fixtures to custom flooring and even the overall layout of the home.• Super-sized kitchens. In addition to food preparation, the kitchen serves as an entertainment area when guests are present, a conversation area among family members, or even a place for homework or a craft project. Islands and their seating capacity must expand in size, and utility spaces and pantries need to be able to store more packaged foods, which are now purchased in larger boxes and in multiple quantities.• More seating for media areas. The typical home TV is now a large flat-screen TV capable of everything from games to 3D movies to surfing hundreds of cable channels or the Internet. The increasing TV sizes have created a design need for more wall space and larger seating capability.• Spalike master baths. The bathtub is not dead, but it often is an afterthought in many designs. For many homeowners, especially women, taking a bath is considered private time and an opportunity to escape. Design the bathroom to look like and feel like a hotel spa to get a woman's attention.• Larger garages. Garages provide much more than just storage for cars. They have myriad uses from additional bedrooms, a teenage hangout or band practice room, extra storage, or an exercise room. Creating a larger garage to accommodate more functions is a tremendous value to the consumer.• Storage. Closets and other storage areas rarely get designed into a home in sufficient quantities and in primary locations. In fact, it seems you can never provide enough storage space—79% of buyers want more storage than home builders are providing. Giving them more gives them a reason to move.• Home offices. The office and den are trending from a preference to a need, but the typical office location off the home's entry is not considered an intelligent or practical location. The better location is closer to the main living area of the house—the kitchen hub and family room.• Grand entries. Buyers are looking for entry design and drama but, over the past 10 to 15 years, we have stacked living spaces over the entries, which has impacted this. Creating volume in these spaces will increase the wow factor and please buyers.• Dual-use homes. Multigenerational living has become part of our culture. Families are staying together longer for various reasons, economic as well as cultural. Lower-level living suites with their own entrance, living spaces, and kitchenette are becoming more prevalent.• Technology. New products create a need for a new lifestyle, which revolves around the use of hand-held electronic devices. How can a family room support two laptops and an iPad notebook and multiple smartphones? Are we designing more electric plug capability to accommodate recharging needs? Are master bedrooms able to accommodate a flat-screen TV?• Dogs. While we design homes for human habitation, don't forget man's best friend. Approximately 37% of all U.S. households have a dog. Capture pet-lovers' hearts by adding practical conveniences such as built-in doggie doors, pet showers, and storage for pet-related items.Nick Lehnert is an executive director and head of the R&D Studio and Idea Lab at KTGY Group, Architecture + Planning, with offices in Santa Monica, Oakland, and Irvine, Calif.; Denver; and Tysons Corner, Va.

I originally found this in a hospital gift shop and bought it for my daughter-in-law who is a nurse. It was great and had an infectious laugh. I wanted to send one to a friend but the shop was out of them so I went on-line and found it from Carol Wright. I had it shipped directly to my friend so never actually saw this one. My friend liked it, said it was really cute and her grand daughter plays with it.
I would buy this product again and again

Haruna Iikubo has slain Nanako the Shark in battle! The fight lasted for 4 days and half of Nagoya is in ruin. Haruna escaped the battle with minor cuts from Nanako's mighty teeth and she lost her left eye. However, Nanako was not so fortunate. Haruna returned to UFP Headquarters with the severed head of our ex-AKB48 member.
Haruna was quoted as saying "Nanako attacked me first. I only fought in self defense and had to do something when Nanako claimed she was going to melt the ice caps!"
Some may view Haruna has a hero, but some may see her as being the one to have destroyed the glimmering star of Japan. However you view it, the memorial ceremony will be held in the Sea of Japan at 10:30 on Wednesday.

European and US mills implemented basis advances for most products due to growing sales volumes, mainly as a result of restocking throughout the supply chain. End-user demand, however, remained slow.
Rising raw material costs are likely to result in austenitic stainless steel selling figures increasing over the next few months.
Buying activity
Buying activity is predicted to improve in the short term, helping world mills to apply further price advances. However, the slow economic recovery could limit end-user demand and restrict producers' attempts to achieve further significant hikes.

US soldier killed in Iraq bomb blast
A US soldier was killed in a roadside bomb that targeted a convoy in central Iraq on Sunday, a US military statement said, taking the number of American soldiers killed in recent days to six.
"One US coalition soldier died of wounds sustained when an improvised explosive device (IED) detonated in Salaheddin province," the statement said.
"The soldier was in a convoy when the vehicle has hit."
It gave no further details of the site of the attack in Salaheddin, a large province lying to the north of Baghdad with Tikrit as its capital.
The latest deaths bring the total number of US casualties since the March 2003 invasion to topple Saddam Hussein to 4,272, according to an AFP count based on the independent website icasualties.org.
A second roadside bomb on Sunday hit a US patrol near Taji, 25 kilometres (16 miles) north of Baghdad, injuring four soldiers, the military said in a separate statement.
"A ... Stryker vehicle was damaged by an IED near Taji, Iraq around 1300 (1000 GMT)," the statement said. "Four soldiers were wounded in the attack."
Five US troops were killed on Friday in the deadliest attack on American forces in Iraq for more than a year when a suicide truck bomber struck a police compound in the northern city of Mosul.
Two Iraqi police and an Iraqi soldier also perished in Friday's blast, according to an interior ministry official.
The deaths come amid a sudden upturn in bombings nationwide including a series of blasts in Baghdad that have dealt a blow to recent upbeat assessments by American commanders about Iraq's fragile security.
At least 71 people have been killed and more than 300 injured in violence in the past week.
Lieutenant General Lloyd Austin, the US army's second-highest ranking officer in Iraq, said in Baghdad on April 1 that recent "high-profile" attacks were not a signal that the security situation was worsening.
US soldiers are preparing to withdraw from Iraqi cities and major towns by June 30 and from the entire country by the end of 2011.

How to Make Scented Body Lotionby Michelle Powell-Smith
Scented body lotion can be expensive and may contain irritants or allergens. You can easily make your own scented lotions, either to use yourself or give as gifts. It is easy to customize homemade scented body lotion to your specific needs, whether you prefer something light or a heavy moisturizer. Reuse lotion bottles you already have or buy attractive containers to hold your scented body lotion and make a pretty bathroom display. Choose the fragrances you love and the lotions that work best for your skin when you make your own scented body lotion.
Items you will need
- Unscented hypoallergenic lotion
- Fragrance or essential oils
- Mixing bowl
- Whisk or sturdy non-absorbent spoon
- Funnel
- Lotion bottles
Purchase an unscented lotion base. You can buy lotion bases from soap making suppliers or simply opt for a bottle of unscented lotion from your local discount or department store. Choose a lotion that will work well with your skin chemistry, whether you need a very light lotion or a heavier moisturizer. You may want to make scented body lotion in a heavier formulation for winter and a lighter one for summer, or make several in different scents.
Choose fragrance or essential oils. Essential oils are extracted from plants and can be less potentially irritating or allergenic. You can also buy a wide variety of fragrance oils, ranging from oils made to use as perfumes to oils made for scenting toiletries. Be sure that the fragrance oil you choose is made for use on the skin as opposed to as a room fragrance. Avoid alcohol- or water-based perfumes when you intend to use the fragrance to make a scented lotion.
Make sure that your containers are clean. If you are using a commercial lotion, the preservatives in the lotion will prevent bacterial growth, so sterilization is not required. You can reuse containers you already have, use the original lotion container or purchase lotion bottles of various sorts. Wash out your containers well with hot soapy water and dry thoroughly.
Pour your lotion into a large mixing bowl. Add fragrance or essential oil. Allow for approximately 1/4 to 1/2 oz. of fragrance or essential oil per 16 oz. of lotion. Use a whisk or non-absorbent spoon to mix your lotion thoroughly. You can also add FDA approved colorants at this time.
Use a funnel to bottle your lotion into an easy-to-use pump bottle or another suitable container. Enjoy your new scented body lotion.
- Experiment with blending fragrances to create a unique scent for your body lotion.
- Look for a fragrance oil version of your favorite perfume to create matching scented body lotion at a lower cost.
- Choose a good quality lotion to avoid problems with separation and spoilage.
- Be certain that the lotion you choose is truly unscented and not just lightly fragranced.
- Look for hypoallergenic lotions and choose essential oils if you are sensitive to fragrances and chemicals.

The slopes may be white, but Snowshoe Mountain Resort is green
West Virginia's premiere ski resort is certified as an eco-tourism establishment.
Tue, Dec 22, 2009 at 11:40 PM
It just so happens that the resort named number one in the Southeast by Skiing Magazine, also happens to have an environmental conscious. Snowshoe Mountain, in West Virginia's Canaan Valley, is one of several businesses in the state to be certified by Green Globe 21, a program that issues requirements and accredits businesses involved in ecotourism.
The all-season resort offers a diverse array of outdoor activities, from mountain biking, horseback riding and hiking in the warmer months, to skiing and snowboarding in the winter. There is also a variety of lodging options, as well as restaurants and shops. There is so much to do at Snowshoe that it almost resembles a small town. Obviously a resort of such magnitude would have the potential to wreak havoc on the pristine environment which attracts visitors to it in the first place. Fortunately, Snowshoe has taken an active role in conserving land in the Canaan Valley.
Snowshoe is located in the forests of the Central Appalachian Mountain region, which are home to an incredibly unique variety of both northern and southern tree species. The forest provides a high-quality habitat for the rare West Virginian northern flying squirrel, and the federally endangered Cheat Mountain salamander. Last December, Snowshoe Resort announced an agreement with the Nature Conservatory that would protect and restore over 200 acres of red spruce forest on the resort's property. The land is protected by a conservation easement which permanently limits development on the property. This deal represents the first conservation area to be implemented in the state of West Virginia, which meets the requirements of a habitat conservation plan. The deal was incredibly vital in that it laid the ground work that will inspire other conservation organizations in the state to push for habitat conservation plans that create areas of permanent protection.
As an avid snowboarder, I can tell you that Snowshoe Mountain has some of the best trails in the region. The mountain is breathtakingly beautiful, and the Canaan Valley in general is a winter wonderland. Though I haven't gotten the chance to get down there yet this season, I couldn't help but get a giddy rush of joy when I read about the resort's self-described "EPIC HOLIDAY CONDITIONS!" on its wesbsite. Even if you don't ski or board, the resort is a beautiful place to connect with nature in the colder months. If you live anywhere near West Virginia, I suggest you pay Snowshoe Mountain a visit.
If you are interested in outdoor recreation, I think it is very important that you know what type of establishments you are helping to fund. The tourism and recreation industry is exploitive by nature — it takes the most beautiful places in the world and opens them up to the masses. It is our job to be thoughtful consumers, and make sure that when we travel and recreate we choose organizations that take an active role in protecting the places they capitalize on.

Historically the testing ground for future greats such as Cassius Clay, George Foreman and Lennox Lewis, boxing guarantees some of the most intense action of any Games.
The sport may be familiar to most people in its professional form but Olympic competition remains based around the principles of amateur boxing, where points scoring is just as important as knockout power.
Points are scored when a fighter lands a punch on their opponent's head or midriff. Scores are calculated by a panel of five ringside judges, with the highest and lowest tallies for each fighter removed at the end of each round and the remaining figures averaged.
Those points are then made public, with the winner the fighter who amasses the most points over the course of the contest, or who scores a knockout.
Men's contests, which are grouped according to weight and range from light-flyweight (46-49 kilograms) to super-heavyweight (+ 91kg), are fought over three, three-minute rounds.
London 2012 marks the debut of women's boxing on the Olympic stage, with the women competing in three classes, from flyweight (48-51kg) to middleweight (69-75kg), over four, two-minute rounds.
All boxing tournaments are fought on a straight elimination basis, although there is no third-place contest - instead both losing semi-finalists are given bronze medals.
Boxing was originally considered too dangerous for the modern Games in 1896, although it did make an appearance in 1904 in St Louis because of its popularity in the USA.
It was finally added to the Olympic schedule properly in 1920 and while the United States have won the most medals with over 100, Cuba are also considered to be one of the big forces in amateur boxing.
In Felix Savon and Teofilo Stevenson, Cuba have two of the all-time greats who both won three consecutive Olympic boxing titles during their careers.
Boxing of any nature should be banned. Why? Any sport that inflicts injury on another person let alone animal is inappropriate and outdated in any self respecting, modern, advanced society and should be deemed an appalling display of barbarism.
As it is: ALL GOOD LUCK our TOM STALKER. Keep moving, keep guarded throw a curve-ball now and then.

Day Staff Writer
Publication: The Day
Montville -- Rebecca Louise Cowen can be both serious and silly. She says one of the high points of her four years at St. Bernard High School was working with senior citizens from St. Joseph's Living Center. She's scornful of people who became patriotic only after Sept. 11.
In the next breath, she jokes that her life's purpose is to annoy her friends — to twirl their hair or otherwise get in their faces. She laughs about a clumsy moment at the Senior Dinner Dance, when she slipped and slid on the stairs.
"I bounced back up," recalls Cowen.
The 18-year-old senior, who will graduate on Friday and plans to attend Emmanuel College in the fall, is artistic and athletic and not a slouch in academics, either.
She's one of only three seniors who studied fine arts all four years. Some of the best pieces she made in her honors/advanced placement art class this year are on display in the school's gallery. There's a life-sized self-portrait, her long brown hair drawn into braids, her smile wide and her slim frame in running clothes. There are still life drawings of onions and chess figurines, and a piece of Egyptian pottery with her name and the phrase "I am woman" on the bottom.
She hasn't mastered clay, Cowen says, and is still freaked out by a clay mask she made during freshman year. That scary piece, she says, looks like an alien that had too much liposuction, and is hiding behind a plant in the living room of her family's home in Uncasville. But drawing has always come naturally to her, and by studying art in school, she says, "I thought I could doodle in class and not get in trouble."
Running all four years on St. Bernard's cross-country and indoor and outdoor track teams also let her get away with something.
"I can eat a pint of Ben & Jerry's (ice cream) in one day and not feel guilty," she boasts. She's so slender, the school nurse once asked her if she was having trouble eating, remembers Rebecca's father, Tim Cowen. He was grateful for the school's concern for his daughter, but said she doesn't let a plate get past her when food's being served around the dinner table. Father and daughter like to run together, and about 1 1/2 years ago, she started to beat him at races.
Cowen and her close friend Melissa Maciag were co-captains of the track team this season and have been inseparable off the field as well. They attended running camp together during the summer, wear the same size clothes and just kind of seem to "click on everything," says Maciag. Their circle of friends is talking about taking a morning off in the next few weeks to help Cowen master one of her admitted weaknesses.
"Our big inside joke is one day we're going to go over and clean her room," says Maciag. "It's atrocious."
Another thing Cowen says she "stinks" at is any sport involving hand-eye coordination. So don't ask her to play golf. But she can really get "pumped" about running.
Cowen says she had to study hard to do well in her classes, but that the teachers at St. Bernard's were always willing to work with her outside of class.
"She's not the top student, but she's certainly a diligent student," says Maria Decsy, director of guidance.
On the athletic front, track Coach Troy Sessoms said students like Rebecca, who stick with a sport for all four years, earn a special place in his heart. He said she is a tremendous leader who knows how to motivate her teammates. And she's one of the better runners.
"She's worked extremely hard to get to the level she's at," Sessoms said.
Cowen hopes to minor in art history at college and get some work experience at Boston's Museum of Fine Arts. She's considering a major in history, and would like to work for the History Channel or for a museum one day. She said her high school years flew by and she'll miss the small, caring community of St. Bernard. But she looks forward to good times ahead, and plans to begin her summer with a trip to Lake George.
Cowen lives in Uncasville and is the youngest of Sherry Timothy Cowen III and Frances Cowen's five children. Her father is a retired Navy commander. She was born while he was stationed at the Fort Ord navy base in Monterrey, Calif. The family moved to New London a short time later, and Rebecca attended St. Mary Star of the Sea school through seventh grade. She went to St. Bernard's Academy for eighth grade.
Rebecca and her mother both work in the produce section at the Shop Rite supermarket in New London. With work, school and sports, she's pretty busy, but she likes to watch television, draw and talk on the phone in her spare time. She has a couple of pieces of advice for incoming freshmen.
"Try your best in your classes and have fun," she says. "And keep your old notebooks."
The teachers at St. Bernard's will miss her.
"She has a joyful spirit, and even when things get rough, she rises to the challenge," says David Belval, the school's coordinator of fine arts.
"She's one of these people that's always there behind the scenes and never pushing forward to be recognized," he continues. "...She definitely goes out of her way to help people have a great day."

Canton, MA — Pro-Link, Inc., a nationwide JanSan buying and marketing group based in Canton, Massachusetts, announced today that they have been awarded a General Services Administration (GSA) contract, allowing their members to market paper, trash can liners, and soap products to United States government owned and operated facilities throughout the country.
A GSA contract allows vendors, such as Pro-Link's distributor members, to sell directly to the federal government.
According to Mike Nelson, Vice President of Marketing for Pro-Link, attaining a GSA contract has been a fairly long and cumbersome process; however, he believes it will greatly benefit the organization's distributor-members.
He adds that an application for other GSA contracts to market several other cleaning products, such as chemicals and floor pads, is expected to be finalized within the next 60 to 90 days.
"This has significant sales potential for our members," says Nelson. "In almost all cases, it is difficult to sell to federal government buyers without a GSA contract. Pro-Link has taken this action for its members to open up an entirely new, and [we anticipate] fairly large market for them."
Indicating the size and potential of the GSA contracts, Nelson says that the federal government now buys approximately 20 percent of all janitorial products sold in the
. "So you can see how significant this is for our members," he adds. United States
Nelson also points out that to the best of his knowledge no other jansan-focused buying group has a GSA contract.
Nearly all of Pro-Link's distributors signed up for the GSA program soon after it was announced. To help it's distributor take full advantage of the opportunity, Pro-Link has developed a sales training manual for its members entitled "Selling to Uncle Sam: I Want You to Sell to Me," to help familiarize its members with the program and how it works.
"There are many benefits for our members being able to market to the [Federal] government," Nelson says. "And one of them that is that the government is recession resistant, so this could not have come along at a better time."

A Patterned DIY Live/Work Space
ReadyMade Issue No. 36
Last month, we asked your thoughts on plaids plus stripes at home (as inspired by a fashion choice featured on The Sartorialist). A couple currently featured in ReadyMade have gone with the look for their bedroom space -- adding a powerful floral and miniatures collection as a backdrop. Talk about pattern! In the context of their entire loft space, we think the unlikely combo is really interesting. Click below for a close-up, as well as a glimpse at their home/work spaces:

If you check out their flickr and blog, they've actually added some more interesting pattern to their home in the form of new bookshelves with individually painted planks as a backdrop.
It seems their home is constantly evolving and getting better each time!
love this.. its so sweet, clean and love the use of so many different pieces of furniture...
I've seen this house before (on Design*Sponge I think) and felt house-envy for the first time! Congratulations to this couple!
AT: the last link to ReadyMade is not working. Thanks for fixing it.
such a great raw space- but i'm so sick of this overly coordinated, cutesy precious look. is it just me?
I think it's great. You can tell that a lot of imagination went into each of the pieces. I agree that vignette-style living spaces can get to be a bit much when not done well, but I think that this place shows what is possible on a budget when you're willing to be creative.
i hear what you're saying, archinerd. the deer collection and tree stump pillow are a bit too twee however, all in all, I find the space to be creative, inviting and organized. Job well done!
Creative, inviting, and functional too! Even the table-on-table in the first picture is unexpected. I'd like to see more homes like this!
Yes, I saw this on D*S a while back, and I'm equally as taken with it now as I was then. Home envy for sure!
LOVE the hanging swing - such a fantastically unexpected piece of furniture inside a house. I once lived in a great little cottage-style house with exposed beams on the sloped ceilings, and hung a hemp sky-chair
( http://www.boblotex.com/ ) in the den. Bliss!
The globe collection is also fab!
Nice space!
But I'll never understand why a pretty girl would tat herself up like that. (I know it's way off topic, but that was all I could see when I first looked at the picture)
Love the swing. Wish I could have one in my living room! And, love the globe collection.
I had definitely seen this space before and would have gone insane wracking my brain wondering where. Thanks to the other AT commenters for reminding me it was on design*sponge!
How much fun would it be living there? SO MUCH.
I echo LilyC - this is a perfect example of how awrul tattoos can look!
