The Real Housewives of Atlanta Review: The Horror
We should have seen it coming. Every episode of Real Housewives of Atlanta has subtly warned us of the inevitability of this event, but we chose to ignore it. It was easier to just look away, keep laughing, and pretend we'd never sink too far, no matter how fast the hamster wheel turned. Well, now, here we are; though I will never fully process it, I have to admit that we've finally arrived, and there's no turning back. Here it is, ladies and gents- the lowest form of public entertainment at its absolute apex of shameless, oblivious depraved desperation. You might want to finish your snacks sometime before the conclusion of this recap.
The show begins innocently enough with Phaedra bringing Kim a large gift basket to apologize for wrecking her glamorous baby shower with a notorious thug of a husband who was really just defending his wretched wife from the somewhat-justified attacks of an immature tyrant. I guess no one came out looking good in this situation. Kim is glad to receive an apology, but Phaedra is still stuck in the drama, imitating Peter's New York accent with grunts and scowls and then asking rhetorically if Peter and Cynthia even brought a gift before making a face at how tacky and rude a couple they are. Then she unpacks her gift basket for Kim to drive her point home. Then they start dishing about C-sections, with Phaedra revealing that she had lots of morphine and epidural during hers, like God intended it.
Now for the blood-boiling fight between Peter and Cynthia's sister Malorie at the site of his new club. Cynthia dumps her sis into the ring with Peter before jetting off and washing her hands of it, but first, she throws hubby under the bus by tattling that he's been ignoring Malorie's calls and pretending he didn't see them. When Cynthia leaves and the other two are left staring at each other, Peter turns on his authoritarian disapproval face and says he doesn't even know what to say to her. Malorie explains she was only looking after her sister, who was crying and suicidal in the weeks leading up to the wedding. Instead of showing concern and addressing why that might be the case, Peter wrings his hands in anger and paints a colorful mental picture of the most misogynistic murder plot he can dream up. Inexplicably, he then proceeds to yell that Cynthia isn't any business of Malorie, so how dare she butt in and jack up their day? Malorie tries to suggest defensively that maybe her dear sister, whom she's ostensibly known since childhood, just might be of some concern to her, but The Great Dictator won't hear it. As Cynthia tells us in a talking head, Peter is very "passionate," so she has to step in to make sure things don't get further out of hand. He walks out, and Mal just sits crying on Cynthia's shoulder, looking battered and drained after what could have been a composed, open discussion among two adults. It's unclear whether Cynthia is able to recognize her sister's trauma, since she seems blind to her own.
So, apparently, it's going to be Kandi's 35th birthday, so of course there's an excessive party being planned. Kandi, Phaedra, and Sheree scope out the rooftop venue, which they love. Kandi complains that she's all old without a husband or additional kids. She seems genuinely disappointed. I feel bad, but if I were her, I'd dry my tears with some of that No Scrubs money, buy a new boyfriend, and hope for the best. Also, she should be more concerned with the fact that her grown-ass friends are talking about how their interpersonal drama is so intense that they have to ignore each other's presence at a mutual friend's birthday celebration. Upon hearing that NeNe is invited, Sheree says, "Keep that bitch on the other side," and Phaedra vows to leave Apollo at home in order to avoid Peter. She also vows to surprise Kandi with a special gift. Can't wait!
Kandi joins NeNe in a show store to gossip about Kim while picking out tall heels. NeNe thinks Kandi was dissed by Kim, saying "Kandi wanted a friendship, and Kim wanted a hit song." Then Kandi says Kim has a good life now and is with a "young and tender," which grosses me out. NeNe refuses to share in Kim's joys, opting instead to point out the fact that she's having "the third baby by the third man." Other Gay Hairstylist Derek is sitting there laughing at the whole exchange; he tells NeNe she might rekindle some old friendships at Kandi's party. She laughs loudly at the absurd concept of letting bygones be bygones.
Next, we get Kim and Kroy meeting with a baby consultant or something like that. Kim is nervous about having a boy, because she doesn't "know what to do with a penis." I doubt that very much. This scene goes on interminably with lots more talk about penises and wiping and diapering, in addition to a discussion on the time-honored sacred ritual of hacking off little baby's delicate foreskin, now just mostly out of habit. Kim doesn't want all that stupid, useless extra skin, which she calls a "turtleneck," on her child's nether regions. Poor kid is already deemed physically defective by default, and he's not even born yet! Then again, he does have a smokin' hot, A-list mom to keep up with, and we wouldn't want him compromising her stylin' image.
At Peter's palace, Cynthia greets NeNe and leads her out back while Peter takes a call in his bedroom about a $40,000 bounced check from an investor. No surprise there. The helpless girls try futilely to open a bottle of champagne, but the man of the house has to come outside to take care of the task. Wow, shouldn't they know how to at least do this, if nothing else? They sit down, and Peter asks NeNe about Gregg. NeNe reveals that her ex greeted her upon her return from Miami, unpacking her luggage and carrying it upstairs like a gentleman before cashing in on some goodbye sex. NeNe tells the camera, "It sure was good!" while slapping her lap, continuing to proclaim Gregg's sexual prowess to the world. I'm sure he appreciates the free advertising, you idiot. I thought she still wanted him for herself, but I guess not. Also, I hope her kids are watching this abominable, crass display. NeNe's indiscretion here will seem a bit hypocritical just a few moments from now.
Over at the construction site of Chateau Sheree, Phaedra joins her aspirational friend to confront the contractor. "Nothing's changed," moans Sheree when she notices that no work has been done for weeks. The contractor claims they got held up by paperwork. Phaedra, with a playful but serious tone, threatens with a lawsuit if he doesn't handle things in a speedy manner. I kind of like her defending someone like that; she seems to genuinely want Sheree to have a trouble-free experience with this project. "I know you won't give her any problems," says Phaedra like a mob boss to the contractor. He sweats under his collar a bit. Then, apparently scared and shamed by her own (too-masculine) intrepid bravado, Phaedra promptly puts herself back in her place by literally turning around and shaking her ass for the guy, asking him if he likes her donkey and giggling and shaking some more. I can't even.
Malorie and her husband Chris visit Cynthia at the Bailey Agency, where Cynthia reveals that she wants to hire Malorie as a receptionist. Mal has some trouble with the title at first, and I don't blame her. How can it not get weird working as an assistant to a sibling? I don't know how some of these C-listers do it. Cynthia tries to convince Mal that she'll have lots of power and be able to run the show sometimes, and I know she'll reluctantly accept and then regret it years later before attempting to strike out in pursuit of her own dreams. Better late than never. Cynthia and her sister then get into a tiff about Peter. Cynthia is begging for Malorie's approval, but it won't come until Cynthia can prove somehow that she's actually happy and not just barely surviving under a miserable regime. She even brings up the money situation, mentioning Cynthia's investment in Peter's old nightclub and wondering if something similar will happen again. Cynthia protests too much, exclaiming that she's super happy and no one's perfect and everyone with financial issues has an awful marriage. She sounds way too defensive. Chris looks extremely uncomfortable. I know this is beyond all reason, but I hope one day Cynthia can look back and realize that her sister cares about her and can detect when things are off.
Finally, we arrive on the glitzed-out rooftop of Kandi's party, where she opens the festivities by whining in her makeup quarters about how her time is running out and she wants a new husband to knock her up and rub her back and dream of a future with her. She threatens to visit a sperm donor by the age of 37 if no man is in sight. Her hair dresser says, "Good things come to those who wait, though you've been waiting for awhile." Harsh!
Kandi's fuschia dress is unbelievably snug as she greets her guests, including an outrageously decked-out Lawrence with a blond mohawk wig. He and Derek both wear heels, and Peter tries to redeem himself and choke down his homophobia by complimenting them both. "Your shit came together well," he says with a smile. I admire the effort to mend fences, at least. As always, the food looks great, and I'd have liked to be there, just to sample the eats and watch the temper tantrums from a safe corner. NeNe walks into the place like a star, telling us she hasn't partied since Celebrity Apprentice. "The party don't start 'til I walk in," she tries to convince herself with a pasted-on grin. Sheree sees her and visibly shakes in her boots. The women are divided into two camps, with Kandi shuttling between them and complaining that she has to do so. Kandi asks Sheree to talk to NeNe, but Sheree says no and claims they'll never talk again. NeNe, for her part, says she doesn't want to experience the negative energy that would well up within her while being forced to interact with Sheree.
And now for the end. It's the end of the episode, the end of human dignity, the end of my will to keep surviving on this doomed planet. It's time for Phaedra to break out her present, a much-anticipated precious gift for a good friend on her milestone birthday, in front of millions. By now, we all know what happened, and it can't be unseen by any of us who made it through the ordeal and have been trying to forget about it ever since. I must assume that my own eyes were closed at least partially throughout this scene, but it's not as if I was spared intimate knowledge of the ordeal. Neither was Kandi's poor old mother, who sacrificially birthed the lovely girl from her own loins only to be aggressively confronted with an unsolicited set of the male variety on the thirty-fifth anniversary of the blessed event. Phaedra didn't enlist just any old stripper to shake up the party with his grotesquely over-sized favors; it's the "Infamous Ridiculous," apparently known to sexually frustrated women like Phaedra the world over. I wasn't aware of his existence, but I could no longer claim ignorance as the guy danced and swung around while I cursed the censors for going way too easy on the "blur" effect.
Yes, it's ridiculous. It's horrible and definitely tackier than not bringing a gift to a baby shower. It's gratuitous and low and doesn't fit the tone of the party. It's unspeakably disrespectful to Kandi's mother, to the unsuspecting folks who just showed up for cake, and to the viewers who admittedly should have anticipated having to witness this in living color. I haven't even mentioned the autofellatio trick yet, but I don't think I want to talk about it any more than the party attendees wanted to see and hear it. It's the worst thing to ever happen on this show and probably the globe, so people mostly look horrified and confused, mouths gaping. Cynthia leaves, and so does NeNe, who clutches her pearls and says it's too "disgusting," so she had to remove her eyeballs and drive home blind.
Kandi's mom is also off like a rocket, chastising and cursing and yelling at Kandi, resenting that she had to be in that space when that awful display happened, pointing out that it was "degrading." Kandi is shocked and embarrassed, turning into a little girl again when she reminds her mother that it wasn't her idea to begin with. "This is not the place for that," says Dear Mother while she continues to leave in a huff. Kandi follows her out on the brink of tears, amazed to see her mom shaken up and emotional like that, noting that she doesn't usually curse. It's pretty upsetting, and I feel for the women. Thankfully, Phaedra looks for a moment like she almost has the faintest sense of remorse for what she's done, but that doesn't mean she'll wake up tomorrow and realize everything that's dysfunctional and wrong with how she views herself, sex, love, and the rest of this wretched, fallen world under her God's sovereign gaze. As an act of pure compassion, we'll give her a bit more time.
NEXT WEEK: Cynthia starts to write a $40,000 check for Peter, which makes Malorie cry, and Sheree dumps water on her shiftless ex and baby's father.

At this time last week, it was easy to write the Blackhawks season off. They had dropped three games in a row for the first time all year and lost two of their most important players for the remainder of the year.
Much like birth, taxes, and death, a Blackhawks surge come playoff time has developed into one of life's consistencies over the past few years. Time and time again, this team has shown the ability to overcome adversity. This recent stretch is no different. Who would have thought that the Hawks would be able to muster up three straight wins without Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews, let alone win three straight against playoff teams?
The Hawks recent surge is due in large part to a return to basics. Puck possession is the name of the game for the Blackhawks, and has been the catalyst in their strong play. By spending a majority of time in the opponents offensive zone and outshooting the opponents, the Hawks essentially neutralize their oppositions chances while simultaneously making the other team rely on lucky bounces or mental miscues to get serious chances.
Much like baseball, advanced statistical metrics are becoming the norm in the hockey world. Corsi & Fenwick are two great stats that help reflect a player's value when they are on the ice (for a great explanation of how these stats work, check out this article). Predictably, Hawks players like Keith, Hossa, Sharp, etc. all have higher Corsi ratings, but what stands out to me the most are three players. Bryan Bickell, Peter Regin, and Jeremy Morin. My goodness has this line been a force and for the most part has generated the best Corsi ratings on the team during this win streak.
Morin & Regin's play recently gives the Hawks an interesting scenario once Toews and Kane return. Outside of their high possession numbers, they have been able to do something Hawks fans have been hoping for the entire year. Get Bryan Bickell going. The crash and bang line as I'll dub them has been relentless along the boards and in front of the net. This dynamic is ESSENTIAL during playoff hockey and will serve to wear down the opponent throughout the game. Combine the crash and bang line with the playmaking abilities of the first & second lines and you get a dangerous offensive attack that comes at you in waves. The team is beginning to click at the right times and having a plethora of players playing well is a blessing come playoff time.
Here are the lines I would ice for Game 1 of the playoffs against Colorado when Toews & Kane return.
If the third line mentioned above continues their strong play, I would have a hard time believing Coach Q would disrupt the chemistry once the playoffs start. While sitting Bollig will be an unpopular one, the speed of the fourth line is much better suited against a fast Colorado team. Shaw, Kruger, and Versteeg have plenty of grit to their game to help make up for Bollig's absence.
As we've seen with Coach Q, the lines are bound to change until he finds something he likes. That will not be the exception here.

I bought the snow angel set that comes with the body gel and body lotion (8 oz bottles). The scent is amazing and is really light and fresh, with a nice sweet note to it. Really nice to use this every day. The body lotion pairs well with the gel so the scent lingers a little longer, although the lotion is not moisturizing enough for winter. Only gripe are the bottles which are so hard to squeeze. I ended up unscrewing the cap and pouring the body gel out in the shower.
THIS IS ONE OF MY ABSOULTE FAVORITE WINTER SCENTS. It smells sooooo crisp, light and fresh. Anything that tries to mimick winter time or snow always ends up smelling like pine, which I HATE. This reminds me of sitting in the snow while the sun is out... those perfect days in winter, when you can smell fresh snow with the sun bouncing off a clean lake. I own this in the hand lotion, body lotion, 3-in-1 bubble bathm body wash & shampoo, and the body spritz. The staying power is minimal, and that I hate, but other than that this scent is definitley a winner. Taking a bubble bath in the scent is truly relaxing and innvigorating, and I can smell it on my skin for hours after.
I really like this! It's a good, refreshing scent that comforts and freshens at the same time. I got a little bit of it as a sample with purchase at Sephora. It's also very pretty - almost like liquid sparkly silver. My one gripe: the price. Not worth it for a body wash - what you're really paying for is the scent! But oh how wonderful that scent is!
This smells so good, perfect for use in the the Winter months. Just like another user pointed out, this really does smell just like sweetly fallen snow. I will definitely re-purchase this.
I love using this soap in the winter. It has such a lovely scent. It lathers well and leaves my skin feeling soft.
Love at first sniff!! I'm hooked on this scent, it smells like the sweet air of fresh snow if that makes sense. Its quite relaxing and feels luxurious. I'll def buy back ups of this.
Not only does this smell amazing, but when I use Philosophy shower gels I can definitely tell a difference with my skin. They are always lovely!
Not sure that this one smells like angel food cake, but I still love it!
More reviews by Graciebell2005
The scent of this is amazing! I received the shower gel/ lotion duo for Christmas this year in the mini sizes and fell in love right when I smelled it! I looked it up on Sephora and they say the scent is supposed to smell like angel food cake? But I think it smells light adnd very airy with an amazing sweetness, something about, I couldn't stop smelling my hands after I put the lotion on. I think I will buy the body mist of snow angels when it becomes available again. The only con I can think of is the lotion is very hard to squeeze out, maybe it's the mini bottles?

I loved this duo! I got this as a present from
A close friend and let me just start off by saying how incredibly cute the packaging is-it's adorable! It comes in this blue, hard, round-shaped container that holds 2 full sized products. One of which is a 3-1 use-you can use it as a shampoo, shower gel, and even a bubble bath. Not to mention the wonderful scent! It's very relaxing and soothing. The second product that came with it was the matching lotion! All together, this product was worth purchasing, it says what it says it will, smells really good, and is 5 star quality! Highly recommend!!
To start off I am an Amazing Grace girl every single day. I don't mess with other scents, I just stick with what works. However, since I use it every day for almost four years I was kind of ready to mix it up a little. I have used Pure Grace and Falling in Love. Both of which I like, but I wanted a winter scent. I sampled Snow Angel at my Bx and my husband loved it. After a few days, I love it also. I like to wear a fragrance for a few days before I lay judgement. Another reviewer says it smells like chlorine and I don't smell that at all. It smells clean. not pure grace clean but a sweeter version. I smell water notes but with a sweetness to it that I can't quite describe. One thing to note about philosophy fragrance is that the scents are light in nature. You will never walk in a room and overwhelm someone. However, I have sat next to people and they will ask me what I am wearing. I cannot wear heavy fragrance, I get a headache almost instantly, so this works for me. Try this and see!

Potts Camp News
Charles Henderson and Jeremy Humphreys honored on birthday
Thanks to Sarah Doxey Greer, wife of the late A.Q. Greer, who had flowers placed in the Potts Camp United Methodist Church on Sunday in memory of A.Q.'s mother, the late Mary Ella Greer (Mrs. Curtis Greer). Mary Ella was an active member and leader of our Methodist Church for many years until she moved to Holly Springs. We loved her. Mary Ella is also the mother of Katherine Sundstrom of Holly Springs. A.Q. and Katherine both graduated at Potts Camp High School before attending college.
Recent guests of Billie Margaret Benefield were Rick and Dana Benefield and sons Cole and Brice of Maryland. Rick is the grandson of Billie's late husband, James Benefield.
Jesus asks us today to follow Him, love Him and obey Him. He also asks us to tell others about Him, like He did the 12 apostles one day on the mountain, near Galilee.
Kneel with your Master.
Weary and tired of life's full day, silently down I kneel to pray, and after a moment of peace, I arise, ready to meet life's on-rushing tides. I face the world bravely as from a tall spire. So friend, when you, too, are tired at heart, kneel with your Master, and get a new start.
Prayer: O, Lord, help us to resist the temptations in the world, and help us to become more Christ-like in our daily living. For Christ's sake, amen.
Poem — At the Channel
I had a burden in my heart, it weighed so much, right from the start, the spirit's peace made it depart, I left my burdens there. I breathed a prayer to still a fear of present days and yesteryear. His tender love I felt so near, I left my fears right there. I worried over a business deal another man might claim or steal, to love my brother was revealed. I felt while kneeling down in prayer; His holy presence bright and fair, my fears, my doubts, my great despair, I left them all right there. — Lindy's newsletter
Happy birthday to Judy Forester on April 2, to Coby Bridges on April 3, to Barbara Pipkin on April 8, to Zach Mayer on April 9, to Lisa G. Murphy on April 10, to Gary Michael Stacks III, grandson of Cherri and Tim Shaw, on April 7.
The pictures and article about the Arbor Day celebration in the South Reporter was very interesting. Several of my friends attended. Sarah Doxey Greer of Tupelo planted a Japanese maple in memory of her late husband, A.Q. Greer of Holly Springs. He grew up in Potts Camp. His granddad, A.Q. Greer Sr., was the first Potts Camp banker.
On Friday, March 28, Charles Henderson and Jeremy Humphreys, who celebrated the same birthday, were honored with a birthday party by Coletta Humphreys in their home. Enjoying the celebration with them were Cory Henderson and Ethan and J.T. Humphreys. They received many nice gifts and enjoyed ice cream and cake for refreshments.
Get well wishes to Scott Brownlee, who had recent bypass heart surgery.
Prayer list: Jean Derryberry, Lina Mae Rhea, Dorothy Frayser, Connie Work, Pauline Hutchens, Lena Faye Work, Henry Tutor, Roy Foote (both former veterans in nursing homes), Mary Jo McCallum, Henry Clifton, Donna Marett, Diane Clayton, Juanita Howell, Ann Mann, Willie Thomas Wicker, Diane Clayton.
History and Memories
While listening to the recent election returns as we begin to vote for a new president, I thought about one of the greatest presidents I've ever known, the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt, a gift from God. I was a child when the stock market broke in 1929 and we lived through a Great Depression. Millions of us listened to his inaugural speech on the radio on March 4, 1933, when he promised "action now." Others stood in the cold rain in front of the White House. (He was crippled; we didn't know it. )
The first act of Congress was to "feed the hungry people." Hobos rode the trains looking for work, while others tried to sell apples or pencils on the street to feed their families. Wages were 50 cents a day, if you could find work.
Part of the new deal to put people to work included the WPA and CCC Camps. (We listened to his fireside chats on the radio.)
The Wall Doxey CCC Camp, located near Potts Camp, was organized June 1, 1933.
The CCC boys lived in tents near Myrtle, until the camp could be completed. I remember attending open house there with my girl friends. My dad drove us there in his A Model Ford. We talked to the cooks in their white uniforms, then met some officers in the recreation hall where music was playing. The boys in the barracks waved to us as we were leaving. When the U.S. Forest Service took over the camp in 1934, it became headquarters for the Holly Springs Unit of Desoto National Forest. The first projects of the CCC boys were to plant trees and build towers.
They also built roads and bridges, one country road is called the CCC Road. We ran up the Winborn Tower (near town) and looked out over the town. They also changed "Spring Lake" into Wall Doxey State Park. I've told before how I met my late husband one night when I had a Halloween party. I'm thankful for the years we had together, also for my wonderful Hollingsworth family. God has blessed me!
Until next week, God bless.

Another day, another blue-chip DMV prospect is snapped up by boxing's top talent wrangler, the shadowy Al Haymon. This time it's Baltimore featherweight Gervonta "Tank" Davis, who joins locals Gary Russell Jr., Dominic Wade, Kareem Martin, and Thomas "Top Dawg" Williams Jr. in Haymon's stable.
We've been telling anyone that will listen for years that the 19-year-old Davis might just be the most talented fighter in the Beltway region. An extremely skilled southpaw with a long, decorated amateur career, Davis turned professional last year after winning the National Golden Gloves title at 123 lbs. He has since run off six wins, all by stoppage, though he has yet to fight this year.
Fortunately, signing with Haymon means Gervonta will get every opportunity maximize his immense talent by linking up with the most influential camp in boxing. His next fight is scheduled for March 17 in Boston, on the undercard of a Fox Sports 1 show from Golden Boy. That card has extra interest because it will also feature the pro debut of the reigning Stiff Jab Amateur Boxer of the Year Kareem Martin.
Click through for more on both Martin and Davis:

by Sarah Deming
Stiff Jab has a special love for the fighters of D.C., so we didn't need to think too hard about this one. Kareem Martin of the mighty Headbangers team was the best in his class domestically, sweeping the youth welterweight divisions of the 2013 National Championships and the PAL Nationals.
Martin also scored a big international win in the Klitschko Brothers Tournament, fending off fighters from Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and Azerbaijan. Just 18 years old, "Reemo" is quiet and shy outside the ring. Inside it, his patient punching style bears witness to hundreds of rounds of sparring with Lamont and Anthony Peterson.

"He's a beast. I call him The Hulk," says teammate Tiara Brown, a finalist for this year's honor herself.
"He's an outstanding young fighter and an all-around good kid. I believe he's won 14 national titles," added trainer Barry Hunter. "I look forward to his future as a professional fighter."
So do we. With his body-punching attack and international pedigree, Martin, Brown and Patrick Harris seem like good bets to continue the Headbangers tradition into the next generation. Martin credited hard work for all his success in 2013, and said he plans to turn pro this year. When he does, you can count on us being there.

Aside from making the U.S. Olympic team, the best thing a young boxer can do for their career these days is sign with shadowy talent manager and former concert promoter Al Haymon. Like most Harvard grads, Haymon probably gets more credit than he deserves, but there's no denying his stacked roster of talent: Floyd Mayweather, Adrien Broner, Danny Garcia, and many of the sport's rising stars.
The latest name to join that list is Largo super middleweight Dominic Wade, (above) who joins fellow Maryland natives Seth Mitchell and Gary Russell Jr. as local members of Haymon's stable. Wade is a member of the Headbangers team and trained by Barry Hunter, who also guides Lamont and Anthony Peterson, and Alantez Fox, among others.
"I can't really speak on it too much right now. I just got a call, and we'll see what is the next move. But I did sign, I definitely signed with [Haymon]," Wade told me on Saturday at ringside.

It has been a long time since we've seen that smile from D.C. junior welterweight Lamont Peterson (right).Since his last fight, a career-defining win over Amir Khan in December 2011, Peterson has been forced to defend himself against allegations of PED use. He has spent over a year of his prime on the shelf, and has watched his name disappear from the rankings due to inactivity.
On Friday night, Peterson will return to the ring looking to re-establish himself as one of the top fighters in the world at 140 lbs. Peterson hopes to duplicate his previous appearance on ESPN, where he dominated lesser opposition to earn the Khan fight. A win over Kendall Holt at D.C. Armory would put Peterson back in the top-5, setting up a premium cable showdown with one of his Golden Boy stablemates. A loss would be a setback that might take years to overcome.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—It started almost 20 years ago in a storage room at Lincoln Multicultural Middle School in Northwest Washington. A friend told Barry Hunter the school had set aside a small space for boxing. Hunter, a carpenter by trade, agreed to pitch in, dug out his old equipment, and headed over to share his lifelong passion: the Sweet Science.
"I didn't go to stay, I went to help a little bit." said an emotional Hunter on Thursday at Bald Eagle Recreation Center in Ward 8. But once he met the kids and saw their need, he couldn't walk away.
"The ride I got on, I couldn't get off."
So Hunter stayed to teach the kids boxing, and more than anything, to show them that someone cared. There have been plenty of ups and downs since, from training world champions and amateur stars, to skipping a national tournament and using the funds raised to pay for a kid's funeral.
But few days could be better than today, when the District of Columbia finally repaid Barry Hunter by opening the new Dr. Arnold McKnight Boxing Annex. The magnificent 6,600-sq. ft. facility is attached to the Bald Eagle Rec Center, one of the original homes of Hunter's acclaimed Headbangers Boxing Program, which has produced 100 national amateur championships, two professional world titlists, and saved countless young men and women from the wrong path.

WASHINGTON,D.C.—It will be different this time.
That was the prevailing message from local heavyweight contender Tony "The Tiger" Thompson during Monday's media workout at Headbangers Gym in Southeast D.C. Thompson did his best to convince a small contingent of local fight writers that he has a shot to upset Wladimir Klitschko and win the heavyweight championship on July 7 in Berne, Switzerland.
Thompson has been here before; the fight comes almost four years to the day after he lost his previous shot against Klitschko by getting caught with a straight right in the 11th round. The stoppage has served as a reminder of just how potent the Ukrainian champ's right hand can be. Thompson insists the punch is his primary concern going into the rematch.

The Sweet Science has experienced a resurgence in the DMV region recently, starting with Lamont Peterson's huge upset of Amir Khan in December and continuing with standing-room crowds at the Washington Golden Gloves and Dusty Harrison's recent outing at the Convention Center. This weekend is shaping up to be another big one for local fight fans, with two amateur cards showcasing some of the area's brightest prospects.

Green Eggs No Ham
- Yield 6 servings
Eggs are baked in a slice of bread then drizzled with a spinach pesto sauce.
This play on Toad in a Hole cradles the egg in a bread basket made with the help of a muffin tin.
- Eggs:
- Non-stick cooking spray for the pan
- 2 egg whites
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup nonfat milk
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 slices day-old firm bread
- Pesto Sauce:
- 8 cups chopped spinach
- 1/4 cup basil leaves
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1/4 cup pine nuts
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/4 cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
- Salt
- Tabasco sauce
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Spray a large cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray. In a pie pan or other shallow pan, mix the egg whites, milk, garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Dip each bread slice in the egg mixture for about 10 seconds on each side. Place soaked bread slices in muffin tins, forming a basket with corners of bread sticking up out of muffin tin slightly.
- Crack one egg into all 6 muffin tins. Bake for 15 minutes for eggs that will have slightly soft yolks, or bake longer as desired to make egg yolks firm.
- To make the pesto sauce: Place spinach in a glass bowl or ceramic dish, cover with plastic wrap and microwave for about 90 seconds, or until completely wilted.
- Place wilted spinach, basil, pine nuts, garlic, lemon zest, juice, parmesan and olive oil in a food processor or blender. Season with salt and a few dashes of Tobasco sauce, or to taste. Blend until smooth or until sauce reaches desired consistency.
- To complete the green eggs no ham: Serve egg baskets on a plate, drizzled with pesto sauce.

The NFL finally showed a bright side when the Cincinnati Bengals signed Devon Still to the practice squad allowing him to retain his NFL medical insurance. This morning Still posted this endearing video to instagram.
Scientists out of the University of Exeter are implying that smelling farts could actually prevent cancer, among other diseases.
"Although hydrogen sulfide gas"—produced when bacteria breaks down food—"is well known as a pungent, foul-smelling gas in rotten eggs and flatulence, it is naturally produced in the body and could in fact be a healthcare hero with significant implications for future therapies for a variety of diseases," Dr. Mark Wood said in a university release.
Although the stinky gas can be noxious in large doses, scientists believe that a whiff here and there has the power to reduce risks of cancer, strokes, heart attacks, arthritis, and dementia by preserving mitochondria.
Early this year, Rowden and Leizl decided to get married on July 8, 2014, Rowden's 30th birthday. Together with their adorable 2-year-old daughter, they already had a perfect family.
Then a twist of fate, Rowden got diagnosed with stage IV liver cancer in late May. His last request was to marry his one true love. After 12hours of preparations, his dream was fulfilled. Unable to take him outside the hospital, we brought the church to him. It was like a heartbreaking fairytale.
Rowden Go, at the age of 29-years-old, passed away on June 11, 2014. Less than 10hours after he said his vows.
He is survived by his wife Leizel May, daughter Zakiah Rowzel, mother Lorelei, and brothers Hasset & Hisham.

Among the companies with shares expected to actively trade in Monday's session are AutoNavi Holdings Ltd. (AMAP), Dick's Sporting Goods Inc. (DKS) and Supertex Inc. (SUPX).
AutoNavi, a Chinese digital maps and navigation company, received an offer from Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. to be taken private, valuing the company at $1.03 billion. Shares surged 27% to $21.05 premarket, topping the $21 offer price.
Dick's Sporting said its fiscal fourth-quarter sales exceeded expectations, compelling the company to boost its guidance for the full year and the period. Shares of the sporting-goods retailer were up 7.1% to $54.75 in premarket trade.
Kite Realty Group Trust (KRG) agreed to merge with fellow real-estate firm Inland Diversified Real Estate Trust in a stock-for-stock deal that will create a company worth $2.1 billion. Kite Realty shares climbed 5.7% to $6.50 premarket.
Microchip Technology Inc. (MCHP) agreed to acquire fellow semiconductor manufacturer Supertex for about $394 million to strengthen its analog business. Shares surged 36% to $33.05 premarket, topping the offer price of $33 a share.
Watch List:
Electronic payments company ACI Worldwide Inc. (ACIW) trimmed its full-year guidance, citing its inability to finalize several contracts that were expected to close in the fourth quarter.
American Airlines Group Inc. (AAL) reported passenger traffic rose 3.8% in January from a year earlier, led by growth in in its international segment.
James River Coal Co. (JRCC) said it has tapped advisers to help the troubled Appalachian coal mining company explore a potential sale and other strategic alternatives.
Jones Group Inc. (JNY) said its fourth-quarter loss narrowed as the footwear and apparel maker's lower costs offset a continued decline in revenue. Adjusted earnings beat expectations.
McDonald's Corp. (MCD) said its global same-store sales improved 1.2% in January, with stronger performances in China and Europe making up for softness in the U.S. The company last month forecast same-restaurant sales for January to be "relatively flat."
E.W. Scripps Co. (SSP) agreed to acquire two television stations, one in Detroit and another in Buffalo, N.Y., for a combined $110 million from Granite Broadcasting Corp. (GRRP).
A treatment for a diabetic eye condition improved vision during a Phase 3 trial, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. (REGN) and Bayer HealthCare said Monday.
SunEdison Inc. (SUNE) said Monday it will move its semiconductor crystal operations out of the U.S. and close its polysilicon manufacturing facility in Merano, Italy, which will affect more than 300 employees.

Hypertension/High Blood Pressure Health Center
Complementary and Alternative Treatments for High Blood Pressure
Supplements to Lower Blood Pressure
Some supplements have been evaluated as blood pressure-lowering options, including:
- Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10): People with mild high blood pressure who were taking CoQ10 experienced a significant drop in their blood pressure without appreciable side effects. In addition, CoQ10 appears to reduce blood pressure by a different mechanism than major antihypertensive drugs.
- Omega-3 fatty acids: Some studies report that EPA and DHA may reduce blood pressure in people with mild hypertension. However, other studies have had conflicting results. Current evidence suggests that modest reductions of blood pressure may occur with significantly higher doses of omega-3 fatty acids.
- Amino acids: It has been suggested that the diet supplement L-arginine may lower blood pressure; however, the few studies conducted to date were small and not well-controlled, and suggest that L-arginine may lower blood pressure for only a short period of time. Another amino acid, L-taurine, may also have blood pressure-lowering qualities.
Talk to your doctor before starting any medication, including these supplements, which may be available without a prescription. The risks and benefits of every medicine (including over-the-counter drugs) must be carefully weighed on an individual basis.
Acupuncture for High Blood Pressure
Extensive research on the effectiveness of acupuncture for lowering blood pressure has been reported, but many studies have considerable weaknesses. More rigorously controlled research is needed to determine the value of acupuncture as a treatment for hypertension. At this time, there is no evidence that acupuncture reliably lowers high blood pressure.

This was our first time in Savannah and as soon as we drove up the beauty of the house took my away. Keith took us to the top carriage house unit and it looked like it came out of a magazine. Everything in the apartment is tastefully done and in keeping with the historic charm. Everything from the bed linens and towels to items that are left for your enjoyment, yogurt, bottled water, juice, coffee, tea etc., really make you feel like you are in a 5 star boutique hotel. Keith and Jim really make you feel welcome and at home from the minute you arrive. The location is a good walk into town but a most enjoyable one - if you need to take a break have breakfast or lunch at Clary's. If we ever get another opportunity to visit Savannah we will plan it so we stay at Galloway House - any other establishment would have a difficult time measuring up.

The Galloway House is such a beautiful place to stay and Keith and Jim make sure everything you need is available in your place. We we lucky enough to stay in the 1st floor carriage house and it was just perfect for us and our small dog. Loved the coziness and comfort of the place and the convienience of being close to the downtown area, but the quietness of the neighborhood. We would definately stay here again. Thank you again for everything!

My wife regularly stay in Savannah as our daughter has been a graduate student at SCAD for that past couple of years. We have stayed in Hotels, and we have stayed in numerous homes that we rented. I can say with confidence that the Galloway House is the best house we have stayed in there. We rented the 1st floor 2 BR apartment in the main house, so with that came access to the amazingly large and comfy front porch. Of course, we were doubly blessed, because while we were there (October 3rd and 4th, 2014), the weather broke and the first really cool Fall nip was in the air. Sky was clear blue, and it was 65 degrees in the morning while sitting and enjoying my orange juice. The kitchen was really nice, and was well-stocked (included, by the way) with OJ, Coffee, Bagels, Muffins et. al. That was a real convenience. The rest of the house was well-decorated, and the Frederick Remington art pieces were breathtaking. The master had a King bed, and it was soooooo comfortable. Linens were to die for, and I know they take great care to make it that way. We highly recommend this wonderful home to you and yours when in Savannah. It should also be mentioned that the neighborhood was beautiful, quiet and safe. Also, if you need more room, they have an additional 1 BR apartment on the third floor of the main house and two more 1 BR apartments in the carriage house in the back, but on the same property. Keith Galloway greeted my wife upon arrival and spent 20 minutes with her and my daughter. He was very personable, and left behind a complimentary bottle of Red Wine to kick off the weekend. Thanks so much Keith for your kind gesture and wonderful hospitality... we'll be back.

our Savannah visit was enhanced by staying at the Galloway House, Jim & Keith were wonderful in providing us with info. on the area & history of their beautiful historic home. The front porch & gardens were an additional plus. A reasonable stay for the four of us on the first floor sharing living room, sunporch, dining room, kitchen, ea. bedroom had its own bath. Continental breakfast was enough.Was just wonderful !

Jim greeted us as we arrived and his house was better than expected. We liked the idea of making your own breakfast and everything was supplied. The one bedroom apart. was perfect for us with all the comforts of home. WE would certainly stay again at the Galloway house. Thanks for a great weekend..

This place was just what we were looking for in Savannah. Nice decorated rooms. Also the perfect place for our dog. We can't wait to come back.

Dawn of gender liberty

Girls die so do peaches
I'm feeling apprehensive as I type this blog post, not sure if I can write at length on this subject without being reduced to tears. Oh my weary heart is aching tonight and I'm deep with emotion. In recent years I have lost so many lovely girls who belonged to my family. I've had a difficult life and any news of a young girl dying is traumatic for me.
Peaches Geldof died on the 7th day…
Day is a time of radiance
So what is the importance of day, and how does it relate to Vef?
Vefday is a fusion of the newly created word vef and day, which is the period of radiance between sunrise and nightfall. A day, in the sense of daytime that is distinguished from night-time, is commonly defined as the period during which sunlight directly reaches the ground, assuming that there are no local obstacles. The…
Verse: Like the swan
I'd like to share a verse with you .. please enjoy.
This is not something I wrote myself, it comes from an old book – Wings of Power.
Author is unknown to me, just the initials B.M.
Like the swan
gliding serenely over the water
I have believed
my own reflection
in the unbroken surface ahead.
Like the swan
I work and move frantically
below the surface
yet the result of such action

Genre: Paranormal/Urban Fantasy, Paranormal Romance
The middle chapter of Windsor's back-to-back series takes her protagonists on a harrowing journey. Her characters are never in for an easy ride, as she places both physical and emotional challenges in their path. The complexity of the world of the Dark Crescent Sisterhood is a big reason why Windsor's books are so intriguing and hard to put down. One of the genre's consistently excellent players!
When fire sibyl Camille Fitzgerald and her quad defeated Rakshasa leader Strada and his troops, Camille was unable to kill Strada at the last moment because of a strange magic that passed between them. What Camille sensed, but could not believe, was that the soul of John Cole, which had been residing in Duncan, was shifted over to Strada's body.
Knowing he would be killed on sight, John has been tracking Rakshasa on his own, while fighting to keep the remnants of Strada's essence trapped. Tarek, Strada's brother, has now risen to power and is gathering new allies for his strike against the sibyls. Camille may find the answer to the Rakshasas' defeat in the ancient past, but will the cost be too high? (BALLANTINE, Jan., 472 pp., $7.99)

(to see the pictures I used, just click the photo. all pictures are mine.)
I nearly wasn't able to go on this trip. Our prom was supposed to be on the 22nd, but luckily it was moved to an earlier date! It's really fortunate because the trip was so amazing! The places we visited and the temples we saw were very interesting. There's a lot of things I think I would never forget, and one of those is nearly getting lost at sundown. I think that instance was scarring enough to make me even more paranoid for two or three more trips in the future.
What a great and successful night it was! I just can't fully express how happy I was (and still am). Right after the amazing Intramurals experience came this fabulous night! Up to now, I still cannot get over it. How can I possibly tell how enchanting it was? I guess I shall try! :)
Nag-grad pic na kami kanina! Yeaaaay hahaha! :))) Sa graduation pa namin matatanggap yung mismong naka-develop na kopya nung picture, tas next year pa namin makukuha yung yearbook. Grabe nga nung umaga eh, pagdating ko sa classroom namin ako lang yung naka-sobrang bongga yung hair. :(( Eh kasi inexpect ko naman talaga na ganon, yung parang akin na talagang magpapa-ayos pa ang all. Yung iba nag-plantsa ng buhok, or nagdala ng hair curler tas dun nalang nag-curl. Pero of course, katulad ng sa lahat ng bagay, mayroon kang karamay. In fairness, medyo marami rin naman. =))))
Naka-zoom in lang yan ng sobra pero yan na daw yung gagamitin nila talaga. Nung una, suot ko pa yung salamin ko. Edi natuwa ako, tas naisip ko pareho yung grade 6 and 10 na grad pics kung ganon, pero okay lang. Eh tas pinatanggal. Okay lang naman sakin na walang salamin kaso involuntarily nags-squint kasi ako eh. (pati yung sa iba sa boys, medyo nag-squint rin ng very slight yung mga pinatangal yung salamin). Pero nung pinakita naman sakin, natuwa ako na hindi naman sobrang squint! <3 Minsan kasi kapag pinipicturan ako ni ate na walang salamin sobrang fail ng eyes ko eh hahaha ayun XD
Nung medyo malapit nang mag-uwian, wala lang rin kami masyadong ginawa kaya nagpaka-vain nalang kaming lima. Kaso, kaming lima nga lang yung magkakasama kaya wala kaming kumpletong picture. Sabi ng tadhana naka-quota na daw kami nung Sunday eh. Pakadami kasi nun! =))))
Pagpasensyahan niyo na po kung puro mukha ko at mukha ng mga kaibigan ko yung first page ng blog ko ngayon. =))) Vain kasi talaga kami kaya ganito. Ang saya saya lang hahahaha <3
My parents and I ate at McDo, and then I changed my clothes because I was meeting my friends after a while. We had this assignment where we had to interview a priest (or a seminarist or a nun). Long story short, we eventually got together (at McDo yet again).
CAN I JUST SAY THAT THIS WAS SUCH A GOOD DAY?! (also, this is a post full of photos so please bear with me) I don't want to summarize every little thing we did so I'll just post pictures and put captions on them. :))) I don't think this will be in order so please, just don't mind it. =)))
These pictures were taken while randomly walking around UST and while in front of the Arch of the Centuries. We had a lot of pictures actually, but they're really too many to post. We were so vain that we used all of our phones to take pictures of UST, or of whatever we wanted to take pictures of (well, one of us didn't use her phone… hashtag mean) ^^
We took this photo while on the stage. We were walking to a particular place and then there was this stage that my friend wanted to walk on so we all followed suit. The next time we passed there, (which was around three hours later) we took pictures. :D Imagine the stage being on the middle, with everyone seeing, and then we just walked there, stopped for a while to take selfies, then came down and walked like nothing happened. Maybe they were shaking their heads while thinking, "Ugh. High school students." =))))
We had this when we were walking in the long, creepy hallway going towards where the seminarists were. It really was a creepy hallway, complete with the silence, darkness, and tiles that are just plain scary ._. It was even more scary when we went there for the second time (around 4:30 PM). It wasn't dark yet, but you can feel that soon enough the darkness will fall upon you! :((( It really has the feels of a horror movie. :(
This was around 3:30 PM maybe? We walked for a long time! After UST, we walked to FEU and then to San Sebastian Church and all other places we could think of. We reached CEU and then Julia told us that La Consolacion (her old school) was just nearby and that there were lots of nuns there, and has a McDo beside it. We stayed there to relax and rest for a while because it was so hot outside. We talked about random stuff while surfing the net on our phones using free wifi.
This was when we were at D'Cream. We were so happy that we finally got to accomplish the whole purpose of us going out. We took lots and lots and lots of pictures here, and we were so noisy that I think we bothered some people, but they were noisy as well so I don't think they minded. XD
Aaaaaand the purpose of our get-together on a weekend. Overall, it was a VERY tiring, VERY fun, and VERY fulfilling day! <3 <3 <3 At first we weren't even sure that each one of us will be able to go but yeayyyy we're compleeeeeete! <3 :') We don't have too many pictures of us five so we really maximized the time to get the work done and to have many selfies. =))))
My friend and I had planned this weekend almost two weeks before it actually happened. We were really excited and all, but we encountered a lot of problems with how I was going to get there, or to her house, or whatever else. To make a long story short, I went to their house and instead of leaving the house at 11AM like we originally planned, we left at 12NN because we were forced to eat lunch at their house.
We reached Trinoma at 1PM, and we weren't able to do what we had originally planned (yet again!) so we just bought Happy Lemon, and went ahead with out photoshoot (we planned these and they actually happened!) We used the SLR, my phone, and her phone. We were lucky that there wasn't too many people that time. ^^
Those pictures of me are of course, taken by her. Beware: There will be lots of selfies ahead! ^^ :D
The picture above and below were taken at the stage. We had so many pictures because we are both very,very vain. :) Not to mention that the sunlight wasn't too harsh so the lighting was also amazing. We took turns taking portrait shots of each other. :P
We went to Fullybooked Trinoma first (left picture) and then Fullybooked SM North Edsa (which I looove!). After that we headed to Powerbooks, and that is where I bought a book. I wanted to buy a particular book so badly but it was too pricey so I just had to let it go </3
At some point, we also bought at Gelatissimo. I got myself two scoops and a bottle of water. (in the left picture, you can see my bag [the red one] and her bag [the yellow one] with our corresponding Happy Lemon drinks beside them) I also bought McDo fries for myself and a box of HOP (House of Polvoron) for my mom.
Even though we were just allowed to be out for three hours (rather, she was allowed for only three hours), we went home at 4:30 PM. It was a very happy day, even though we had very limited time. We were able to have fun and maximize the time given. :> ♥
This is the cake we bought for Sir Gaffud's birthday celebration! ^^ It looks delicious, doesn't it? :3
Our president called him to lure him out of our classroom, but he came back inside when we started singing. We followed him inside the GZ classroom, and we had few pictures. :>
After that, it was just the normal, boring classes. Then in the afternoon, we (SC) were called for the repacking of goods (such as clothes, biscuits, noodles, canned goods, and heavy sacks of rice).
After that, I went back to the classroom to resume reading this book that I borrowed from Pam. I haven't finished the book yet but so far it's really, really good. :)
Since we weren't able to have a picture together last Christmas party, I demanded she owed me a picture, and here it is yeayyyy!:
I admit that I am holding back on my posts because I haven't blogged of Day 6 and onward yet, but believe me when I say that it will be done soon. For all we know, I may post it later! :)))
For now, I'm going to show you pictures that were taken earlier today that made me very GV! :">
Just made me so happy! There are no words.. Libreng happiness! :') ♥

Katherine Liu, Biochemistry, Neurobiology - 2007-08 RFAU
I came to the University of Washington only knowing I wanted to earn a degree in something-biology. I had no idea what either what academic research was or how it might involve me. The summer after my freshmen year I participated in the NASA Space Grant's Summer Undergraduate Research Program, recommended to me by friends who had completed the experience the summer before. SURP matched me with a mentor in the department of Electrical Engineering. Although the experience didn't cause me to pursue that particular field, it did open my eyes to the benefits and opportunities inherent in conducting undergraduate research.
In total, I have participated in five research projects ranging from basic neuroanatomy research at Woods Hole Marine Biological Laboratory to the development of a MATLAB based program for analyzing radar data from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. Research has given me contacts and allowed me to explore potential career interests in a way I never would have accomplished in the classroom. Perhaps most importantly, as a person hoping to pursue a career in medicine, undergraduate research in the biological sciences has introduced me to the process of discovering and developing medical therapies.
Planning to study abroad for the year with the UW-Sichuan Exchange program, this current project is the result of taking a topic I love, neurobiology, and finding a way to apply it to the field. Many thanks to Professor Elizabeth Van Volkenburgh and Professor Stevan Harrell, who have helped me develop and bring into reality this project. For the 2007-2008 academic year I plan to be in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China, studying Mandarin and conducting research.
Mentor: Elizabeth Van Volkenburgh, Biology
Project Title: Exploring the properties of mechanoreceptors in D.peltata in both the lab and in its natural environment in the southwestern regions of China's Sichuan Province
Abstract: The carnivorous plant Drosera peltata is unique in its ability to respond to tactile stimuli with movement. This ability suggests the existence of mechanoreceptors – specialized ion channels that allow an organism to sense tension, pressure or movement in tissues of its periphery. The sessile life of plants is misleading. It suggests they are passive things, incapable of interacting with their environment. This, however, is simply not the case. Plants grow to avoid obstacles, react to changing soil moisture or seasons. Well known oddities, plants like Mimosa and the Venus Fly Trap are capable of producing quick, visible movement in response to tactile stimuli. And while they do not possess any specialized neuron-like cells, plants do exhibit many analogues to the animal nervous system. Many plants have recordable action potentials – transient intracellular depolarizations that propagate along the plant's length. They have also been shown to express neurotransmitters typically found in animal nervous systems including serotonin, glycine, acetylcholine and glutamate. In addition to action potentials, plants exhibit slow-wave potentials that follow changes in hydraulic pressure. Lastly, the plant signaling molecule auxin exhibits localized and polarized delivery, and seems to be associated with some form of vesicle mediated transport. These are all common features of neurotransmitter delivery in animals. In my proposed studies, I plan to further explore the properties of the D. peltata mechanoreceptor, using better characterized animal and Venus Fly Trap mechanoreceptors as analogues. The neurobiology of plants is under researched, studies like this one are important in contributing to the understanding of basic mechanisms organisms use in interacting with their environments.
