Certain parts of the world are more liberal when it comes to gambling, such as Europe, but in more conservative countries, such is not the case. When searching for pokies online, you should also consider the country of origin of the online casino. Not that gambling with them is bad per se, but that you may be supporting organizations with your money which your country does not agree with, or worse. Gambling produces a high source of revenue, which can easily fall into the wrong hands.
International Laws to Follow
The Internet has made it so easy to cross country boundaries that it is sometimes difficult to determine which pokie machines are legal in your country. According to international law, an Internet transaction must follow the laws of the country where the transaction originates, where the transaction ends, and where the server of the transaction is located. A telltale sign that the online casino cannot legally operate in your country is the server's location – if the online casino hides the location, you are probably safer elsewhere.
A sure sign that the online casino cannot legally operate in your country is if the laws of your country do not allow, or at the most follow the strictest regulations when it comes to gambling. In a sense, your country will lose the money you play with in an illegal casino, and while one player will not affect a country's gross national product, millions of players will definitely dent the national income.
The Changing Environment for the Internet and Online Gambling
And because the Internet is such a volatile environment, any law regarding Internet restrictions are frowned upon by the Internet community. The infamous SOPA, or the Stop Online Piracy Act of the United States failed, partly as a result of a global Internet protest condemning the proposed legislation. However, soon afterwards came the ACTA, a European version of the same legislation.
Putting aside the Wild West attitude on the Internet, the political environment of the country in question is also a huge factor. A piece of legislation that is not passed today does not guarantee that it will not be approved tomorrow. Or in other possibilities, a legal loophole may be found that circumvents the law and allows or prevents online casinos from operating in your country. A lot of variables change constantly, making it difficult to find solid ground with regards to the Internet and gambling.
The Safest Route
Dura lex, sed lex – the law is hard, but it is the law. The safest route is simply to go with play money – legitimate online casinos usually offer play money in free pokies with their online casinos to encourage more players in their website. However, if this does not appeal to you, you may look up your chosen website and confirm its legality with your national gaming commission. That effort should be more than enough for you – after all, it is the government's responsibility to police such matters, and not a private citizen such as yourself. And that is just because you prefer playing online than in real casinos.

I lost my business due to divorce and have a judgement by my ex who is very litigious which is how I lost my business. I have filed back taxes for the past 5 years personally and for the business and owe a significant amount but have no means to pay. I have half custody of our minor child and want to maintain that so I don't lose her. I am looking for a job but want to avoid garnishment if possible. Is it better to file bankruptcy?
Garnishment is enforced collection. Stay out of this process by entering into a payment arrrangement, Offer in Compromise, or being put on uncollectable status. These are viable options that you need to explore ASAP. Consult with a tax professional to see what will work best for you. If you would like we offer a free consultation to review your matter and make suggestions.
As Mr. Lively mentioned the way to avoid garnishment is to enter into an agreement with the IRS. It is best to retain counsel such as a tax attorney or CPA to help you negotiate a resolution with the IRS. In these cases it is best to be proactive rather than to wait for the IRS to begin collection action.
Good luck!

A boy donated his savings to Greenfield, Wis., Police Department two days after Sept. 11 and walked out without leaving his name, WTMJ reported.
The boy came up to the counter, pulled a bag of change out of his backpack and put it on the counter saying he wanted to donate his money to the police department. He then walked out, according to the WTMJ story.
Police found and identified the good Samaritan. His name is Max Siepert, 11.
He said he got the idea at his Social Studies class where they talked about 9/11. He has been saving the money, $10.03, since April. He didn't think long about giving the money to the police.
"My grandpa who I never got to meet, he was a police officer and he died at the line of duty," he explained to WTMJ.
"One day, that's going to make a difference," Max added.

When is a Permit Required to do Electrical Work?
All electrical work requires that you pull a permit with your local electrical authority. Most jurisdictions allow a homeowner to work on his/her own home's electrical system. Some areas only allow work on branch circuits and not main service panel installation. Some areas will not allow homeowner permits at all. This varies from place to place, so you must check the rules in your area.

Return of the Cave Monsters? (SPOILERS)
While we're all speculating about the final end for the Tenth Doctor, the 2010 series of Doctor Who is managing to film in relative anonymity.
Thanks to a mighty bunch of fans snapping away with various camera phones (and in some cases higher quality equipment) it would seem however that there are quite a few secrets to keep…
According to io9.com, there have been some very interesting creatures on one of the location sets recently – speculated to be a return of a long lost ancient enemy of mankind and the Doctor…
Apparently the monsters are Silurians, the reptilian masters of Earth first seen in 1970s Doctor Who and ther Silurians and again with their seaborne cousins the Sea Devils in 1984s Warrior from the Deep.
Curiously however, the creatures don't appear to have a Third Eye – the centre of forehead/crest additional eye that possesses telepathic ability, useful for manipulating a Silurian's dinosaur or striking fear (or death) into a human.
Of course, an additional eye could be added in post production.

The Pace House
If you're looking for the perfect place to hold your wedding, family reunion or celebration, look no further than the Pace House, Vinings' most historic and beautiful location. The Solomon and Penelopy Pace House and Old Pavilion offer an oasis of old Southern small-town charm right at the doorstep of Atlanta.
This historic house was built with the remains of the 17-room antebellum home of Vinings founder Hardy Pace. The house served as General Sherman's temporary headquarters where he planned the siege of Atlanta. Hardy's son, Solomon Pace, returned home after the Civil War to find the home in ruins. Sometime between 1865 and 1874, Solomon painstakingly rebuilt the home—albeit more modestly—from doors, windows and remnants of several small cabins that survived the fire of the main house.
Today, the Pace House consists of three rooms: a parlor, a dining room and a bridal room. The adjacent Old Pavilion, itself a Vinings landmark, offers ample event space bathed in natural light in a historic setting. The facilities include a catering kitchen complete with refrigerator, warming stove, and sink as well as moveable tables for food preparation and assembly. Two male and two female restrooms are provided on-site. A spacious open deck connects the buildings. Lush trees on the lawn provide shade during the day and at night choose the exterior lighting or the moonlight above.
As of May 2009, the Pace House has been added to the National Register of Historic Places.

Pick-up basketball available at the YMCA of the Northwoods
Submitted: 09/17/2014
Play Video
- If you're looking for a great way to be active indoors, then pick-up basketball may be perfect for you.
Friendly and competitive pick-up basketball games can be found at the YMCA of the Northwoods.
"We play this pick-up basketball, or open basketball, from 8:30 to 9:30 generally, on Tuesdays and Fridays, and anybody is welcome to come play," says basketball player Jim Lentz.
Open games were started back in 2009, and they have grown in popularity ever since.
"It was just a few guys that got together and ended up creating the open basketball on their own," says YMCA of the Northwoods Interim CEO Laurie Schlitt. "They all were off of work at that time or retired, and wanted to just get together. It was just the great social experiment, I guess you could say, and it ended up being an activity that they all enjoy doing together."
The same core players have been around since the pick-up games started, and they have welcomed in new recruits.
The teams are generally made up of older players, but are open to players of all ages.
"Most of us are 70 and older," says Lentz. "Like I'm 73, one guy is 75. The young people have a lot of fun playing with us."
But the way they play their games hasn't changed.
"We play, generally it's 3-on-3, but if we get 8 people, we'll go cross-court, and we'll play cross-court," says Lentz. "We play games to 11, one point at a time, and you call your own fouls, and your own out of bounds. Just for fun, that's generally what we're here for. Just for fun."
And they're always looking for more people to come and play with them.
"We take boys, girls, women," says Lentz. "Anybody that will come and play, we'll let them play."
"You'll see the guys come and just play," says Schlitt. "Some of them are very competitive and some of them are very open. So if you have some skill and you want to come shoot some hoops with the guys, then come on in."

The gas tax hike: One 'beeelion' dollars!
Gov. Maggie Hassan got this year's session started on the right foot when she announced she would veto a beer tax increase proposed by Rep. Charles Weed, D-Keene. That allowed her to take the middle ground between Republicans who wanted no tax hikes and the far left wing of her party, which thinks the government never has enough revenue to spend on all the good things liberals dream up.
Then, in her budget address, she proposed a tobacco tax increase three times the size of the one she campaigned on. But who cares about filthy smokers? Her inclusion of $80 million in gambling revenue in her budget sent the signal that she was unlikely to press for big tax hikes this year.
Then came last week's 207-163 vote to increase the gas tax by 15 cents per gallon.
Rep. David Campbell, D-Nashua, who has long wanted a gas tax hike, proposed a 12-cents per gallon increase along with a hike in vehicle registration fees. His bill was amended to remove the registration fee increase and raise the gas tax by 15 cents per gallon.
The current tax is 18 cents per gallon, the lowest in New England. Campbell's bill would increase it by 83 percent over four years. The 10-year impact is expected to be about $1 billion, dedicated to the state's roads, bridges and highways.
So it took the House all of 35 days to vote for a $1 billion tax increase.
In the weeks leading up to the sequester, President Obama said the automatic cuts would take a "meat cleaver" to the federal budget. He said it was irresponsible to chop away without precision (even though the sequester was his proposal). This $1 billion gas tax hike is the sequester in reverse. Instead of doing the hard work of figuring out precisely how much money is needed to fix roads and bridges - after the Department of Transportation budget is prioritized to eliminate non-essential spending - 207 representatives voted to simply throw $1 billion at the issue and proclaim it fixed.
This is not responsible budgeting. This is lazy tax hiking for the sake of tax hiking. And the worst bit is, the House is only getting started. We have months to go.

Maryse & Miz, NOH8
"When I first came to WWE, not a single person respected me. Not anyone in the WWE Universe and not anyone in the WWE locker room. Everyone wanted to get rid of me. They made my life a living hell. For 6 months, 6 months, I was banned from the WWE locker room. I would have to find a place to change, a place to shower, a place to use the restroom. I would walk down these halls and see Superstar's like JBL, and everyday that JBL saw me he would say, "Miz, I look forward to your amazing work! Miz, you are a gift from God, Miz!" Everybody berated me. Everyone wanted me to quit. But all that negativity I used as fuel to ignite a wrath against everyone in the WWE to become the star I am today."
Happy Birthday Maryse :) !
Happy 29th birthday, Maryse!

What is the difference today between a Muslim radical and a Christian radical?
Thousands of dead Muslims.
fortunately the Irish Catholics & Protestants have stopped.
do you know how many Muslims / Arabs have been killed by Muslims / Arabs in the last 65 years? 11,000,000
How many Catholic children were victimized by the clergy in the last 65 years? Much of what is commonly referred to the Dark Ages in Europe coincided with the time when the Catholic church controlled almost every aspect of human life. Is it and wonder that it took us almost 200 years to elect a Catholic, President?
God created man
God allowed man to create religion to expose those who should go to hell
So then many Christians who supported the unjust wars that we have carried out under the guise of noble intentions, but in reality for American business interests also belong in hell. It is only now when these injustices are being played out on us are we bitching.
A child in the US is 100 times more likely to be molested by a public school teacher than a priest. Where is the outrage against the union teachers and the administrators that let it happen?
"100 times more likely"?? Any time a child is molested by and adult, there should be outrage. The attempted cover-up, and the act itself were systemic, as in throughout the world, with the Catholic church, and that was disgraceful. In trying to convert the world to Catholicism there have been many other tragedies carried out on native populations. Keep in mind that this criticism is coming from someone that was raised a Catholic, but believes history should be about truth
The point is that the outrage is selective. The NYT is not calling for investigations at the NEA or public school districts where molesters operated for up to 30 years. This is just a case of the usual suspects taking the opportunity to do some old fashioned Catholic bashing. Kick em when their down journalism.
Your point is understood. Holding people accountable for their actions, or inactions is to a big degree what this rev is about. That includes people in unions. I am critical of the hypocrisy in all religions that preach morals, but act in an opposing way either by their silence or by what they promote.
The good news is that most people in most religions are virtuous. The few that fall from grace are the stuff of articles in the NYT. They make their living on the weaknesses of others, particularly those not of their political bent.
Plenty of evidence that schools try to keep it in the closet as well. Some teachers that molest get cover from unions:
Info on this subject is not hard to find if you have an open mind. What is your interest in protecting child molesters, the schools, news outlets, and unions that cover for them?
Did the NYT or Wash Post report the WSJ story? Why not? Why are they covering for child molesters?
Because it does fit with their politics. They don't know that they are biased just like fish don't know they are wet.
I have no dog in the Catholic scandal fight. My issue is the selective outrage. There are many more children molested in public schools by serial sickos over dozens of years than by Catholic Priests. About 100 times the number in fact according to the USDOE. Where are the front page NYT, Wash Post, and LA Times articles and investigative reports? They aren't there because they don't fit their politics. Politics first, kids second.
The one recent exception is the Penn State scandal and that got good coverage because they hate football almost as much as Catholics.
This behavior is confounding. I can't believe that it is motivated entirely by Religion. There must be some other reason.
With the Irish it was really all about power, land, and old scores than how you take communion.
Just as any group of people, who feel that they are being persecuted, they turn to their religion for comfort, and strength.
And then butcher their fellow worshipers? There has got to be more to this story.
There are something like a billion Muslims in this world. Islam is practiced in many different ways. For us to expect them all to be up to our standards is unrealistic, and ethnocentric of us ...especially in countries like Afghanistan which could be categorized as a backward tribal society. Add to this the West's constant intervention, and our support of brutal despots ever since oil was discovered in the Mid East in the late 1800s...... these countries have not had the chance to develop in a normal way. What excuse do our Christian souls have for all the death, and destruction that our tax dollars have paid for? Very conveniently we rarely see that devastation, or pretend it does not happen.
The West intervenes in the Middle East (and elsewhere) because they are living on top of our oil. It has nothing to do with Christianity.
Our oil....our right to support brutal despots? Just because many of the people in the Middle East are Muslims, they are denigrated in this country.
It is pretty much our oil, we pay for most of it, our geologists find it, our engineers get it out of the ground, and our military protects its free flow.
As to as Muslim denigration in America, they will have to get in line behind Jews, Indians, blacks, Hispanics, and the Dutch. Americans are equal opportunity denigrators. It's what makes us special.
I suggest that you put your patriotism aside, educate yourself, and then search for your soul.
look up the EXACT difference between Sunni & Shiite

7,000,000–20,000,000 Conquests of Tamerlane (1370–1405)
5,000,000–9,000,000 – Russian Civil War and Foreign Intervention (1917–1922)
You could consider WWII a religious war as in the nazi "faith"
and the crusades too
I don't know about the religious nature of the rest
That Nazi faith was nationalism. It's just as alive in the U.S. today and used to justify all manner of torture, murder, destruction, and occupation. Some may claim to do it in the name of God, or for country, or for both, but the underlying motivation is to gain wealth and power, unevenly distributed to the few at the top.
"That Nazi faith was nationalism"
Its real core was racist superiority - to the point of a religion
Certainly racism was present. Like the racial superiority that was justified under the banner of "manifest destiny". That allowed white settlements in the U.S. to expand and engulf Native territories. To the Indian, we were the Nazis. The reservations were the concentration camps. Just not to the same level of cruelty as the Nazis.
When all of the various causes of violence are considered, they can all be boiled down to one, selfishness. Raising ones own needs, or their own nations needs above all others.
But just a cursory review of the list shows at least half of the deaths that were motivated by pursuit of land or power; not religion.
Religion may be used to inspire (and inject courage into) the warriors and dehumanize the enemy, but I am not sure that the leaders were motivated by secular differences. Was Saddam Hussein a zealot?
He used his power as one Muslim minority "flavor" to subjugate & kill the others
Similar to Syria & South Africa
Well the Iraqi ruling class under Hussein was fairly secular.
IT was secular - because it was not "radical"
but his "flavor" subjugated ( and murdered ) the other "flavors"
I agree... hit 'em where they breath. And hit 'em hard.
Sir - hitting either of them is easy
winning them over to moder n freedom is hard
I'll let you in on a little secret - so many in the world have already voluntarily prostrated themselves in an effort to prove a bona fide multicultural tolerance that it appears Europe has already fallen to this self segregating immigrant population, that has never permitted criticism of any kind; so many in fact that we have actually developed a word for it - the word is "dhimmitude" and it specifically references Muslims. The US will become the refuge of last resort if we are not undermined by our own immigrant population that refuses to assimilate through inter marriage. Our governors do not care that their grandchildren will be enslaved to Sharia. And castrated.
It seems they are hell bent on their own destruction.
ASS-imilate into what? If facts be-knownst, the majority are trying to become citizens, and better ones at that. There are organizations, schools, and government sponsorship for those who are learning how to obtain their citizenship as well as be better citizens (something the majority of you all could benefit from) and testing for their citizenship..
Your fears and doubts are of your own raising.
It is people like you that we should be afraid of.....for example...... http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/hate-map I don't see too many turbans in that picture!
Most who join this OWS movement are considered radical and that has grown stronger in opinion since 2005. In fact the FBI is monitoring this website as we speak (type, post, whatever!)...so in reality... They have seen the enemy and it is YOU!! http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2005/sep/21/20050921-102703-7616r/
How many of you actually know what is in the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, The Executive Orders? What constitutes a citizen on these shores my fellow Americans? Most of you would flunk the damned test!
I have no fear of the government; I promote no harm; in fact, I am even hesitant with verbal attacks.
Do you not see any Turbans or Burqas in Detroit? Do you see American in Alameda or Lincoln Park? This is not assimilation, it's self-segregation, to the point where second and third generation are repeatedly marrying first cousins.
I know very well that the Constitution with use of the words "natural born" has attached an extremely liberal view of naturalization; those born of an American woman anywhere in the world are "natural born" American citizens; the problem is that they never defined the word "citizen" which in my mind requires assimilation, allegiance, fidelity, loyalty, and contribution.
So...what's in your DNA?
Stop acting ignorant.... Your countrymen are fighting against a system that was set up by pale skin people, for pale skin people and wants to continue to be run by pale skin people, for whatever dumb ass reason they might have! Ain't nobody buying that old adage bullshyt about what people are segregating themselves or have a higher crime rate, murder rate, rape rate, childbirth rate, etc. etc. etc.... All nations are F*** UP, and the problem stems from the fact that the brain matter of individuals (CORPORATIONS) such as yourself have no problem wanting to keep it that way in order to keep your own ass in your own self perpetuated make believe existence.. Listen up.....it ain't happening no more! Go back to the drawing board....it is A NEW ERA IN TIME!
I have virtually everything in my DNA. And I am "American." To be anti-Caucasian as you very obviously are, is to be ignorant, racist, and highly prejudicial.
If you prefer a less multicultural world, then have at it. No one has ever said you must live amongst white people. And if you think America can be American without those of a European heritage, you are highly mistaken.
"I have virtually everything in my DNA. And I am "American." To be "anti-Caucasian as you very obviously are, is to be ignorant, racist, and highly prejudicial.
If you prefer a less multicultural world, then have at it. No one has ever said you must live amongst white people."
Who said anything about white people or Caucasians? The word is pale...which defines the degree of melanin in ones skin...not a race, or color or genetic breeding....
It is individuals such as yourself who have limited their knowledge of self, origins of self and this great planet of ours and the people who live on it!.
In fact, we all have everything in our DNA, just some have more or less than others! There are only two on this continent, Asiatics and Europeans...so which one are you!
I know my family has both.....but do you?
Now, getting back to our multicultural world.... When did your dumb ass get so 'HOLIER THAN THOU"?
Don't you know you just might be trying to murder your cousin, or someone from your mother or fathers lineage?
You all are too ignorant for words and deserve all that you put out here!
Your countrymen are fighting against a system that was set up by pale skin people, for pale skin people and wants to continue to be run by pale skin people, for whatever dumb ass reason they might have!
The reason we have a system that supports pale skinned people is because we ARE pale skinned people. And it's been a highly successful system that has served to temper governance and promote prosperity everywhere in the Western World.
And I am getting very tired of being called a racist because I am of European heritage and believe in our way of life; step off you racist bastard.
Sure its been successful moron....but at what price and how much destruction of the lives of men, women and children? How many nations have been annihilated to perpetuate a lie that was only created to make it appear that this country had something going for it only by and through alleged, and I do mean "ALLEGED" white folks?.
If you continue to believe that you are entitled to something, because of false indoctrination, then my advice to you would be to hold on to your arse, Peter Pan, because the ride for you is gonna get worse...
And I am not a Bastard, my parents were legally married before my birth, nor am I racist....I am just telling it like it is... I am also of European and Asiatic descent, I can trace my lineage back to over 10,000 years and no one can prove otherwise....so there is no way I could possibly be racist....I know the truth about made up race concepts! Now, if the truth puts you on equal footing, with me and everyone else on the planet and makes you realize that you ain't that big of a deal....and that your shyt stinks just like the Muslims and everyone else....then know.....
This country has a lot to answer for......
FYI....FREEMASONRY in America..... The only requirement to be a Shriner is being a Freemason. However, the ritual and ceremonies of the Shrine are taken from the Muslim world. Shrine Temples are named after parts of the Muslim world, members wear Fezes, and the ritual calls upon elements for the Koran (just as regular Freemasonry uses the story of King Solomon's temple from the Old Testament of the Bible). Live long and prosper and Learn!

You Called It!!! - No Limit Tank in Black with Ikat Bra Coming Soon!!!
Earlier this week one of the readers speculated that a No Limit tank will come out with a Concord Grape Ikat bra and her prediction has come true! I just got an Australian product alert that there will be a Black No Limit with the Ikat Flow Y underneath. I cannot wait to see it!!! (Ooh, the product alert also listed the sizes as 2-12 but those are often inaccurate).

Big Spring Independent School District officials are playing a financial waiting game of sorts as they try to determine just how big an economic impact the state's budget shortfall will have locally.
With Texas facing a projected budget shortfall in excess of $15 billion, it stands to reason that state aid to school districts such as BSISD will be reduced this coming fiscal year. The question local educators are facing is: How big will the reduction be?

By P.H. Burbridge (A voice in the crowd) IBF light welterweight champion "The Magic Man" Paulie Malignaggi (25-1, 5 KOs) has come a long way since his first career loss to Miguel Cotto back in June of 2006 and on November 22, 2008 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas he will get another shot at capturing boxing limelight when he defends his title against Ricky The Hitman Hatton (44-1, 31 KOs). This is one of the more intriguing match ups on the horizon and it could very well end up being a make or break fight for each guy..
Back in 2006 when Paulie Malignaggis name came up as an opponent for rising superstar Miguel Cotto I gave him little to NO chance of even making it out of that fight on his feet. I was so disappointed with Cotto for taking a fight with a relatively unknown fighter that had ZERO world class experience that I nearly boycotted the fight.
I didnt think beating Malignaggi would do a thing for his credibility and felt that if he was going to create a public mandate for the Floyd Mayweather Jr fight he would need to beat one world class fighter after another NOT some unknown kid! I asked myself who is this Malignaggi kid who talks a million miles per hour and has no power? I was NOT looking forward to that match but as usual when fight night arrived I watched. As I always do and as the fight started to unfold I became more and more entranced by what Malignaggi was able to do with Cotto. In the first round, right off the bat Malignaggi was cut and looked very nervous.
He was extremely tight and operating on nervous energy. That was to be expected considering this was the biggest fight that he had ever been part of and it was ONLY taking place in MADISON SQUARE GARDEN! You can actually see Malignaggi talking himself down and acclimating in that first round. Things didnt get any easier in the second round when Cotto caught Malignaggi with a decent left hook that sent him down. It didnt appear that Paulie was seriously hurt but he was clearly dazed. Malignaggi then picked himself up and made the necessary adjustments to compete with Cotto for the full 12 rounds and ended up having some moments of his own in that fight.
Also he did it while sustaining some substantial injuries. Malignaggi left that fight with a broken right cheek bone, a cut over his left eye and a bloody nose and although Cotto was correctly awarded the decision Paulie did make it tough on him at times. That fight gave Paulie Malignaggi HIS world class experience. The fact that he kept his composure amidst a vocal pro-Cotto crowd at Madison Square Garden proved his toughness and his ability to perform on a world stage. He learned more about himself in that loss then he would have if he had won.
After the Cotto fight in June of 2007 Malignaggi went on and defeated Lovemore N'dou via 12 round unanimous decision to win the IBF Junior Welterweight Championship. In that fight he dominated from start to finish and showed no signs of residual damage from the Cotto defeat. And then in January of this year Malignaggi found himself in another pretty tough battle against Herman Ngoudjo. This bout was closer then the scores would lead you to believe and Malignaggi was visibly shaken up in the 7th round. He again remained composed and controlled most of the action throughout with his jab to receive a unanimous decision.
He has shown great ring maturity with one notable exception and that was in the rematch with Lovemore N'Dou in May of this year. In that fight he wore very LONG hair extensions that Buddy McGirt was forced to cut off between the 8th and 9th round so he could see! (That was one for the time capsule!) That obviously wasnt the wisest thing in the world to do but, aside from his style blunder Paulie Malignaggi maintained control of that fight and won a split decision over a determined Lovemore Ndou. He won on what appeared to be an off night to retain his title.
That win however came at a cost as Malignaggi who has had a history of right hand problems suffered another fracture. Over the years he has had numerous procedures on that hand and it sounds like the right hand will continue to be a burden for the rest of his career. Recent reports have indicated that his cast was removed and that he will have unrestricted use for heavy training in September. That should be plenty of time to properly prepare for the fire storm Im sure Ricky Hatton will be bringing into this fight.
Malignaggi has steadily improved over the last 2 years and has emerged as one of the best pure boxers in the game. With the addition of Buddy McGirt in his corner all systems are GO. He now has the team and the opportunity to become a star and all he has to do is WIN a marquee fight.
Ricky the Hitman Hatton is at a crossroads in his career and badly needs a solid win over a credible opponent to validate his standing as well as justify moving forward with his career. With potential showdowns on the horizons with Manny Pacquiao and Amir Khan this fight represents a REAL danger for Hatton. He not only needs to win but he needs to look good doing it. Its amazing at how many people wrote Hatton off after just one loss. He didnt get beat by an average fighter he got beat by best fighter in the world and he was also moving up in weight. Ive always felt that win or lose one fight doesnt make or break a fighter. A fighters ability should be judged over a series of fights against a variety of styles to determine where he stands. Having said that I do believe there were some troubling signs in Hattons fight against the Hispanic Causing Panic Juan Lazcano. That was the main event of a card which also featured Malignaggis rematch with Ndou in May of this year at Manchester Stadium. Ricky controlled the fight in the early going but then began to look sluggish and disinterested turning in an unimpressive performance. Ricky was also hurt twice in that fight and in one case had it not been for some questionable actions by the referee he may have suffered a knock down. He ended up winning a unanimous decision but Lazcano was able to score frequently and his punches told a story on Hattons face. Ricky was being hit with predictable shots that he knew were coming and he didnt make the necessary adjustments to get away from those blows. Thats not a good sign! The fact that he was getting hit by a fighter who is not even on the same speed planet as Paulie Malignaggi may be a warning sign of trouble to come.
To beat Malignaggi Ricky MUST commit to his jab and work his way in to land that excellent left hook to body like the one he used in the Castillo fight. He must NOT abandon the jab! If he can do that then he will force Paulie down off his toes and into a messy brawl. Ricky wins THAT fight every time. If he reverts back to jumping in and trying to smother Malignaggi with those mauling tactics and NO jab then Paulie is going to pick him apart with his faster hands and feet. You may see Malignaggi enjoying some of the same success Floyd did against Ricky with the exception of knocking him out obviously. I just dont see that happening. But, by the same token I dont think Hatton can knock Paulie out either. If Cotto couldnt get him out of there then I seriously doubt that Hatton will be able get the KO plus Malignaggi is a much better fighter now then he was then so in my opinion this spells one thing the distance.
In the end this fight could be less about styles and more about one fighter coming up and the other going down. Ricky is already one of if not THE most beloved fighter Great Britain has ever produced. Hes been blessed with the financial rewards that come along with that distinction and hes definitely NOT hungry! I dont think Ricky will ever be hungry again. On the flip side Malignaggi is STARVING and just now coming in to his own.
This translates to a Malignaggi VICTORY by SPLIT DECISION over Ricky Hatton AND with it The Magic Man will make those potential mega fights with Pacquiao and Khan disappear before Hattons eyes!

It may be historically hard to hang on to a majority in both the House and Senate, but of course the dominant Democrats in Congress are hoping for a midterm miracle in November. Eight weeks is a long time in politics, but still, it seems that some Dems' days may be numbered on Capitol Hill. How many is partly up to how well the GOP rallies in these last two pre-election months. —KA

Microsoft's Bing Maps has had a big boost to its bird's-eye view functionality, in the form of roughly 100,000 extra DVDs-worth of data.
Bing now has1,452,958 sq km, or half apetabyte, of satellite images that you can view. Nearly every major city around the globe is now rendered in incredible detail, allowing you to zoom in and view detail at a street level.
On top of the bird's-eye view tweaks, Bing Maps now offer an enhanced venue maps set-up. You can see things like football stadiums and train stations in detail in order to help you navigate a venue via the maps.
Finally it's now also possible to report problems direct from Bing Maps so you can let Microsoft know if there are any inaccuracies with its maps.
You can explore the new Bing Maps bird's-eye view images now at the Bing Maps website.

This lovely, perfumed Châteauneuf du Pape is loaded with sweet, lush black raspberry and black cherry fruit. Its fine, soft tannins give it a supple texture, elegant balance and a long, sweet finish. The 2001 is denser, richer and more intense than the 2000, and will improve with some bottle age.
95% Grenache, 5% Syrah. 100% La Crau vineyard.
"The Chateauneuf du Pape Rubis is a blend of 95% Grenache and 5% Syrah aged in equal parts tank and old wood barrels.

Exhibiting more garrigue, lavender, and ground pepper notes in its black cherry, cassis, and plum-scented bouquet, it is a full-bodied example with terrific purity, a multidimensional palate feel, and a long, lusty, decadent finish. It will have 15+ years of aging potential."-The Wine Advocate
