Well, here I am blogging my first post (or posting my first blog?)...in the event that someone actually reads this, it'll give a brief intro:
My name is Ryan Chapman and I'm a new developer in the .NET Compact Framework group. I'm new to both MS and the Seattle area--I grew up in and around Vancouver, BC. (Well, I grew up in Abbotsford, but I don't expect too many people to know the outlying areas of the Lower Mainland that well...unless you happen to be a big airshow buff.)
I'm working one the Code Access Security features of the compact framework--unfortunately I can't give any information about when (and if!) it will be released, mostly because I don't have that info myself! Stack walks aren't exactly the highest performance thing on the planet, so bringing them into the embedded world is a delicate balancing act...
Anyway, should you happen to find yourself reading this, please take a moment to say hi!

Following is a summary of current odd news briefs.
-UPDATE 1-Notre Dame hoax tip was emailed - Deadspin.com editor
CHICAGO (Reuters) - The tip that led to the revelation that one of the most widely recounted U.S. sports narratives of the past year was a hoax came to the editors of an online sports blog as many of their news tips do: an unsolicited email. That email led Deadspin.com assignment editor Timothy Burke on the hunt of a story that exposed the heart-wrenching tale of standout Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o's dead girlfriend as a fabrication, Burke said on CNN on Thursday.
Y'all come to Texas, state official tells New York gun owners
SAN ANTONIO (Reuters) - Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott has a message for New York gun owners: Come to Texas, and bring your guns with you. "Texas is better than New York, and New York just gave us another excuse to say that," Abbott, a Republican, said on Thursday, after ads extolling Texas appeared on several media websites.
Amateur Australian prospector finds massive gold nugget
SYDNEY (Reuters) - An amateur Australian prospector who hadn't had much luck searching for gold has struck it rich, unearthing a nugget heavier than a newborn baby and worth more than $300,000. The anonymous prospector discovered the 5.5 kg (177 ounce) nugget near the country town of Ballarat and in an area known as the "Golden Triangle" due to its rich veins which sparked a gold rush in the 1850s.
Antarctica and a llama for UK queen in jubilee year
LONDON (Reuters) - A piece of Antarctica named after her, a baby llama, tea from Sri Lanka and her own set of Olympic medals were just some of the gifts given to Britain's Queen Elizabeth during her 2012 diamond jubilee year. Foreign leaders, emissaries, luxury goods businesses and members of the public gave the British monarch a treasure trove of gifts from jewels given by the Emir of Kuwait to a wind chime from a nursery school near her Sandringham estate, according to a list released by Buckingham Palace.
Theft of $400,000 in diamonds reported in Florida
ORLANDO, Florida (Reuters) - A diamond wholesaler visiting Florida reported the theft of $400,000 worth of loose gems in what could amount to a well-orchestrated crime or the case of an ordinary burglar who got incredibly lucky, police said on Wednesday. Jain Rajesh, 47, of New Jersey told police he left the diamonds in a red bag in his Orlando rental car for 13 minutes on Monday evening outside a buffet restaurant and the bag and diamonds were gone when he returned.
Cyprus man unwittingly brings bomb into police station
NICOSIA (Reuters) - A man triggered a major security scare in Cyprus on Wednesday when he walked into a police station carrying a bomb he found on his driveway, saying he wanted officers to examine it.

It wasn't easy, but it was a productive Tuesday of softball for the West Texas A&M Lady Buffs.
The Lady Buffs softball team was voted a unanimous No. 1 in the nation, and then followed that up by sweeping a doubleheader with UT-Permian Basin at Odessa.
WT took the first game to eight innings before winning, 5-3. The Lady Buffs broke it open with RBIs by Mercedes Garcia, Meghan Slattery and Alyssa Lemos to take a 5-2 lead. UTPB addded a run in the bottom of the inning but it wasn't enough.
WT won the second game, knocking off UTPB, 10-2, in five innings. Renee Erwin led the way, driving in four runs and scoring three.
The Lady Buffs are set for a big series against San Angelo Central beginning at 6 p.m. today at San Angelo. San Angelo (22-9) sits at 7-2 in the Lone Star Conference while WT (26-2, 8-1) is in a tie for first place.
Angelo State holds a 21-9 series advantage over the Lady Buffs. WT took two of three games from then-No. 1 Angelo State last season.

PHILADELPHIA -- The best basketball game I ever saw -- Duke over Kentucky for the 1992 NCAA East Regional title -- was in Philadelphia.
The best player I ever covered -- La Salle's Lionel Simmons (1987-1990) -- was Philly born and bred.
The winningest coach in basketball history, college and pro combined, spent the largest portion of his Hall of Fame career in this city. He is ESPN's own Dr. Jack Ramsay.
And none of these reasons, or the dozens more that could be cited, are why I'm so proud of being a Philadelphia basketball guy.
In Philly, basketball appeals as much to the mind as to the body. For the generational descendents of Ramsay and other coaching icons such as Harry Litwack, Al Severance and Jack McCloskey, the game is nearly an academic experience.
Which isn't to say it is without passion. Put six Division I schools within the same 15-mile radius, and there will certainly be emotion. Give birth to the NBA and a guy named Wilt, still the most dominant player in the game's history (sorry, Michael), and you will also have unusually knowledgeable fans.
Yet even in a pro town in which Donovan McNabb's thumb gets more attention than championship performers in other sports, there is only one game here that is uniquely Philadelphian.
College basketball.
The Philadelphia Big Five. The Palestra. Indeed, everything you've ever heard is true. It isn't always the best basketball anymore -- BCS conferences have seen to that -- but it is generally the most cerebral. And it is the passion, combined with that thinking-man's approach to the game, which make it different.
There is nothing quite like a winter night in Philadelphia when thousands of fans, many still wearing a jacket and tie from work, venture onto Penn's campus and the Palestra for a Big Five game. Student cheering sections typically take their cue from these alums, not the other way around as it is at Cameron or the other legendary venues. Undergrads with painted faces may get on camera, but it's the Philly hardcore hoopheads who make our scene one of a kind.
These alums, who grew up in the same neighborhoods before heading off to the different colleges in town, both think and feel the game. The only thing better than a well-played contest -- "Good hoops," longtime A.P. scribe Jack Scheuer still whispers along press row -- are the bragging rights that come after the fact.
It wasn't enough, for instance, that Saint Joseph's led Villanova last year, 40-9, on the way to the Hawks first win over the Wildcats since 1994. It mattered more to some of the hardcore types that a Villanova male cheerleader, who dared jump the fabled Hawk mascot during a timeout, was tackled by a 40-something alumnus emerging from the sidecourt seats.
There aren't as many nights like that anymore, thanks to differing conference affiliations and the need to place NCAA Tournament credentials ahead of City Series wins, and this may not be a bad thing. The national spotlight shines more on each of the Big Five schools when they reach the Final Four -- and each one has at least once -- than it does when they pulverize one another. But bragging rights last longer than championship memories, if only because they are personal and not vicarious.
That's why the 10 best games in Philadelphia this year will be when La Salle, Penn, Saint Joseph's, Temple and Villanova match wits. Throw in a few extra games involving Drexel and, regardless of a round-robin that no longer resides exclusively at the Palestra, you've got yourself quite a winter menu. Nowhere else do all the teams from the same city -- not New York or Washington or Los Angeles -- do this kind of intramural dancing.
And that's the reason being a Philly hoop guy is second to none.
Philly guy Joe Lunardi is the resident bracketologist for ESPN, ESPN Radio and ESPN.com. His first 2004 NCAA Tournament projections will appear the week of Nov. 10.

Is anyone not donating to charities much these days? I realized today that I don't have a single tax deductible donation on record for the year. First I had a flinch of guilt - ugh what a jerk I am, I've got a pretty good life, and I'm not giving back to the world the way I should.
Then I thought about it and realized I've got a pretty consistent pattern of giving. I'm just not giving to organized charities. I've helped out with bail money/tack donations/vet care for three different rescue horses owned by private parties, two different sick cats, and a dog foster. I've given loans (never intending to collect) to a few people who had temporary cash flow problems due to a collision of medical issues and the current poor economy. I'm definitely willing to dig into my pocket when the mood suits me.
I then started wondering why the mood just never strikes me when it comes to organized charities: my local public radio station, my local animal shelters, stuff like that. I realized it's because organized fund raising really annoys me. I feel like I'm feeding a stray cat - feed it once, and the thing constantly comes back begging for more. I don't like the ongoing solicitation, so I've gotten into the habit of telling both the cat and the charities to scat.
Is anyone else starting to have this reaction to organized charity?

Recently a family friend of mine suffered a very severe malware infection on their laptop with a very troubling symptom. The malware somehow hooked into the system drivers to the point that I can use an external keyboard in Windows 7, but if any key on the main keyboard is touched, it will trigger the system to go AWOL causing the keys to map randomly and the mouse to also be taken over.
I've tried removing the system drivers and reinstalling and doing the standard due diligence but I've had no luck.
My main problem however is that this hijacking is so deep it even prevents me from triggering the BIOS (via delete) or using F8 to boot into safe mode. The external keyboard is connected via USB.
Bottom line, what can I do to combat this hijacking? I don't need help with the malware - just this major driver issue. I can't map the keys myself because it changes randomly - and popping the hard drive into an enclosure (while allowing me to do scans) is not going to let me do my full troubleshooting.
Thanks very much in advance for any assistance,

Then the fact that an 'assault rifle' wasnt even used in the attack (was left in the trunk), but was portrayed by the media to be the murder weapon and the reason for the assault weapon ban... This is classic Hegellian Dialectic... The favorite tool of control for the elites. False-flag, or complete hoax perpetrated by government and the media...

Swamp Fairy by jasminetoadWatch
©2006-2016 jasminetoad
One of my favourite paintings, I would say - and it is also one of the LARGEST paintings I've ever done, measuring a whopping 30"x24" (acrylic paints on canvas sheet). It is called simply "Swamp Fairy", and I am incredibly proud of her! A beautiful fairy with dark hair and wide sparkling eyes, clad only with leaves, sitting in a beautiful swamp. Inspired by the Florida swamps where I make my home, this piece is very special to me, and I am incredibly pleased with how she turned out. ©2003
She's so pretty! I love her little wings! And her eyes are beautiful! And so is her bathing suit! All of it is beautiful!
very cute!
Preciouse, wonderful, endearing, just the kind of fav I have come to enjoy here.
Stunning! Think its the best one I've seen of yours, in my opinion of course, beautiful, love everything about it
Gorgeous! I can't believe it's a painting!

AKRON, Ohio -- The parity among the top teams at the 2008 King James Shooting Stars Classic resulted in a number of close games. The tournament was a showcase of some of the most highly regarded players in the country and some very talented prospects who have just started to develop into household names on the national recruiting scene. Some undeclared 2008 players also participated in the event.
The championship game in the 17-and-under open division pitted BABC from Boston against the Rising Stars of Chicago. BABC was guided to a championship by the leadership and skills of explosive 5-foot-9 PG Phil Pressey (Ashburnham, Mass.). Pressey has incredible athleticism and quickness, which makes him a terror in the open court. He gets the ball up the court in a hurry, and with his great vision, he easily spots open teammates filling lanes on the break. If defenders underestimate him because of his small stature, he will rise in the air quickly with the ability to finish over bigger players with a dunk.
In the half court, Pressey handles the ball well enough and has the quickness to create offense for himself and his teammates. When the shot clock dwindles to its waning moments, he has the ability to make nothing into something. If the defense sags, Pressey can hit the jumper with range well beyond the 3-point line, but he needs to become more consistent from the outside. However, he impresses most with his disposition and temperament, which make him perfectly suited for the point guard position. His demeanor rarely changes, but he has become more vocal with teammates, and they feed off the confidence he exhibits. Pressey's awareness and basketball IQ continue to improve, both important aspects for a point guard.
The Rising Stars rode the hot shooting of 6-foot-6 SF Nik Garcia (Skokie, Ill.) to the title game. He has an effortless stroke and will pull from well beyond 3-point land in an instant. He has very little wasted motion on his shot and a nice follow-through, shooting as well as any perimeter prospect in this tournament.
Although Garcia shoots the 3-ball with a high rate of consistency, he tends to shoot it almost exclusively, sometimes ignoring his off-the-dribble game. Once he improves his midrange game and adds a pull-up jumper to his arsenal, he will keep defenders off-balance, which will free him up for more long-range bombs. Also, doing more work off the dribble will get him to the free-throw line, giving him more opportunities to score points and gain confidence if his perimeter shot abandons him at times. He rebounds the ball well from the guard spot and plays decent defense. He will become an even better defender and rebounder with added strength.
Garcia probably will make a decision on where he will play his college ball in September; at this time, Southern Illinois and Iowa lead the way. However, with his increased level of play, more schools have started recruiting him. Illinois State, Minnesota, Marquette, Georgia Tech, Alabama, Michigan and Penn State have all expressed interest.
Player notes
2009 prospect 6-foot-7 PF Thomas Robinson (Washington, D.C.) played with an incredible amount of passion and exuberance on the floor. He runs the floor very well, initiating many fast breaks for his team with either a defensive rebound or blocked shot, then running the floor for the finish at the other end. Robinson has good footwork in the post and can finish with both hands. His quick leaping ability, coupled with his never-ending motor, lead to a number of offensive rebounds. He plays with a healthy chip on his shoulder. As his body fills out, he will become an even more intimidating inside presence. Currently Robinson has no favorite; he lists Georgetown, George Washington, Kentucky, Oklahoma, North Carolina and Virginia Tech as his schools of interest at this point.
Power forward Alex Oriakhi (Tilton, N.H.) has the ability to dominate a game on both ends of the court. However, he has to keep his emotions in check and not quit on the defense end -- even when he does not get the ball as much as he wants on offense. When dialed in, Oriakhi, through quick leaping and reaction skills, controls the boards on both ends of the court and shuts down the lane on defense through blocking and contesting shots, which will make him a great success at the next level at the University of Connecticut. His offensive post game continues to improve; he just has to motivate himself to play up to his vast potential whenever he steps on the court.
Another 2009 UConn commit, 6-foot-6 SF Jamal Coombs-McDaniel (Tilton, N.H.), had a strong tournament. He shot the ball well, particularly from the perimeter, throughout the event. He has a strong body and good size for the small forward position and needs to continue to take advantage of smaller defenders. Coombs-McDaniel has good body control when he goes to the basket, but he has a tendency to adjust in the air to avoid blocks too much instead of using his good size and strength to sustain contact and finish. He always communicates on the court and will have to keep his defense intensity up; he allowed his man to beat him off the dribble on occasion.
2010 prospect 6-foot-3 SG Gerald Coleman (West Roxbury, Mass.) has the ability to score in a variety of ways. This lefty has range on his jumper that extends out to 3-point territory, but he has to become more consistent from the perimeter. As he matures, he will become more consistent with better shot selection. Coleman really excels driving to the basket with his quick first step. At the basket, his leaping ability and length help him finish effectively. Although he is slight in build right now, this 2010 prospect has very broad shoulders, which means he has the frame to fill out considerably. Coleman will enroll at Tilton in New Hampshire and should start garnering attention from major programs in the near future.
Small forward Titus Robinson (Charlotte, N.C.) has an impressive, diversified offensive game. He can hit the perimeter shot from deep and take defenders off the dribble; Robinson can go all the way to the rack or pull up for the nice midrange jumper. Robinson has very good leaping ability and a quick first step. As he adds more strength and muscle to his frame, he will become very tough to defend. Robinson will take his smooth offensive game to Buffalo next season, where he has the potential to develop into a program-changing player.
2009 perimeter prospect, 6-4 SG Eric May (Dubuque, Iowa), plays the game with a high level of intensity. May, a high-major football recruit, brings his football mentality to the basketball court, initiating contact from the perimeter. May skillfully works off the dribble, creating shots with his quickness and physical approach from the guard spot. He can also pull up for a midrange jumper off one or two dribbles. He gets to the free-throw line a great deal because of his ability to initiate contact. Although May can make his own shot almost seemingly any time he wants, he stays within the offensive most of the time and passes willingly. He never takes a play off, exerting relentless aggression on every possession. May wants to play basketball in college and could start hearing from high-major programs for basketball very soon.
Shooting guard Jarrell Eddie (Concord, N.C.) can score from just about anywhere on the court. Eddie has a smooth stroke, easily connecting with good range on his jumper. If defenders push up on him, Eddie has the quickness and athleticism to drive past them. He also has a nice pull-up, midrange jump shot, which makes him tough to guard. Eddie has a tendency to get out of control and should pass a little more. However, he can score on most defenders. He also plays good defense, bothering guards with his length -- he stands at 6-foot-6 -- and quickness. At this point in his recruiting process, Eddie has no favorites. He does, however, list Clemson and Georgia as schools of interest.
Combo-forward Reece Uhlenhopp (Urbandale, Iowa) has the ability to score from the perimeter or in the paint. Standing 6-foot-7, he often surprises big, slower defenders with his quickness and dribbling skills. He also has a left-handed jump shot that extends out to the 3-point line. He can take smaller defenders to the block, but he should do that more instead of relying on his jumper so much. Uhlenhopp plays decent defense and gives good effort on the floor.
Six-foot-11 PF Mason Plumlee (Arden, N.C.) has a very impressive skill set for a big man. He has the dexterity and ballhandling skills to take his man to the basket from the perimeter. Plumlee also has range on his jumper and can hit the 3-point shot, runs the floor very well and has good leaping ability. As a turn-and-face, finesse big man, Plumlee should have success at Duke.
Another talented 2009 big man, 6-foot-10 PF/C Mouphtaou Tarou (Woodstock, Va.), has emerged on the national scene as a rapidly improving post prospect. He can hit the 12-foot jump shot, but he excels around the basket with his solid back-to-the-basket game. Tarou has decent post moves, but he can add a few more as he develops in that area. He has good athleticism and runs the floor relatively well. He has a decent body and can increase his rebounding output as he gets better.
Six-foot-7 SG Khris Middleton (North Charleston, S.C.) has an undeniably quick release on his lethal jump shot. He can connect from 3-point land whether under duress or when left open. Middleton also can score off the bounce, though he prefers shooting from deep. To continue to improve, Middleton needs to work on his midrange game and add strength to his frame.
2009 prospect 5-foot-10 PG Carl "Tay" Jones (Garfield Heights, Ohio) can flat-out score. Although he's small, he does not fear going into the paint among the trees, relying on a good floater and his ability to adjust in the air for layups. Jones has great quickness and causes problems by getting into the teeth of the defense. He also can nail the jumper on the pull-up or from 3. He has supreme confidence in his scoring ability, which sometimes causes him to force shots. Clemson, Iowa, Penn State, Oregon State, Saint Joseph's, Texas Tech and a host of other schools have shown interest in Jones.
Six-foot-11 center Zeke Marshall (McKeesport, Pa.) continues to make strides as a big man. He has unbelievable shot-blocking ability, using his great length, jumping ability and closing speed to block shots out of his area. Marshall has to get stronger in the upper and lower body to keep from getting pushed up the block when he posts up on offense. As he develops his body and post moves, he should dominate on the offensive end in the same manner in which he dominates defensively.
Dan Jennings, a 6-foot-8 center (Mouth of Wilson, Va.), has the motor to develop into a dominant force in the paint. He has a ton of room for offensive improvement -- he needs to add post moves to his game. He attacks the rim with purpose, attempting to dunk anything and everything around the basket. Jennings plays actively on defense by contesting all shots, which sometimes results in foul trouble. He runs the court very well, will finish on the break and hits the boards on both ends. Jennings has a very developed body and does not mind throwing his weight around in the paint.
Six-foot-11 center Jordan Henriquez (Port Chester, N.Y.) gets out in transition and finishes on the break. He has good leaping ability and timing, which helps him to block shots effectively. Henriquez can step away from the basket and connect on the jump shot from 15 feet. As he adds weight, strength and improves his post moves, he could make a huge impact at a high-major school.
Shooting guard Maurice Creek (South Kent, Conn.) has a sweet perimeter game, smoothly scoring off the dribble in the midrange area. He can hit from 3-point territory, but he needs to become more consistent from outside. Creek also gets to the rim, but he needs to add more strength and muscle to become better equipped to handle the contact in the paint and still finish. Creek passes the ball very well and has good vision. He also plays good defense using his length to bother guards.
C.J. Harris (Winston Salem, N.C.) is a 6-foot-2 point guard who can create offense off the dribble effectively. He has a quick first step and good ballhandling ability, which helps him put pressure on the defense. He also has good leaping ability and can finish above the rim with ease. Harris has a decent jumper, but he could improve in that area. On the plus side, he does a good job creating shots for his teammates.
Six-foot-6 SG Reggie Bullock (Kinston, N.C.) has nice length and a good body, which helps him slash to the basket consistently. He struggles a little when forced to shoot from the perimeter. Bullock plays the tough, in-your-face defense many elite prospects seem to shy away from playing. He has a tremendous amount of room for development and will get better as he matures.
Six-foot-5 SF Tashawn Mabry (Rocky Mount, N.C.) has a nice inside-outside offensive game. With his developed body and good strength, he can score on the block and surprises defenders with his left-handed finishes. Mabry also shoots the ball decently from the perimeter, but he needs to continue to improve his perimeter game. Mabry plays with a high level of energy and has very good leaping ability, which helps him block shots very effectively for his height. He can become a very physical defensive presence on the perimeter as he develops as a wing player.

The headline in the Weekend Missourian said: "Storm Didn't Stop City Trash Crews." The mail may not have been delivered the day after the snowstorm that hit Washington Sunday, Jan. 5, but the city's refuse and recycling crews didn't miss a pickup Jan. 6, or during the rest of the week.
Working on one of the crews is not the most attractive job in the community. The shaggers who work off the packer trucks have an especially tough job even in nice weather. They performed beyond what was expected because of the snow and ice on some streets and along the gutters. On top of that, it was cold, around zero, when they started their rounds and never got above the teens.

|Steven Runciman.
|More information:
The constitution of the Byzantine Empire was based on the conviction that it was the earthly copy of the Kingdom of Heaven. Just as God ruled in Heaven, so the Emperor, made in his image, should rule on earth and carry out his commandments. This was the theory, but in practice the state was never free from its Roman past, particularly the Roman law, and its heritage of Greek culture. Sir Steven Runciman's Weil lectures trace the various ways in which the Emperor tried to put the theory into practice - and thus the changing relationship between church and state - from the days of the first Constantine to those of the eleventh. The theocratic constitution remained virtually unchanged during those eleven centuries. No other constitution in the Christian era has endured for so long.

Released: May 01st, 2006
Running Time: 103
Company: Robert Hill Releasing Co
Cast: Daniela Colares, Miriane Ribiero, Andre Ribiero, Pamela Alves, Grace Ohara, Kaio Blade, Fabricia Moreno, Michael Pires, Gabriel Samer, Pablo Monterro
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Specialty
The premise is straightforward – this no-frills import features Latin trannies brutalizing the asses of five willing bottoms. A definite recommendation for fans of affordable economy units, if you catch our drift. Not the hottest "girls" on the planet, but still pretty convincing and approachable in a semi-darkened room.
Standard angles and action here hurt the overall effect. Still, a scene between Pamela Alves and Gabriel Samer conjures images of a curious frat boy's precious, drunken memories of living out his bareback locker room fantasies.
Retailing: Chicks with dicks for the less than picky.

Released: Sep 01st, 2002
Running Time: 116
Cast: Tamara (I), Holly (I), Silver, Jessica (I)
Critical Rating: Not Yet Rated
Genre: Alternative
Another great installment of this series, CCC10 showcases four more young hotties from Florida showing off their tight, tanned bodies and answering a plethora of sex questions. (By the way, the producers usually find these babes at bars and clubs that feature wet T-shirt and "booty-shake" contests.)
Though each "interview" starts a little slow (what with the girls being typically nervous and all), some really enjoyable moments occur when the ice breaks and the ladies begin speaking frankly on the topic of their likes and dislikes, both sexual and otherwise. Their idiosyncrasies (and explanations for them) are interesting, too. Also, the girls strip down a little at a time - first the bra comes off, a few minutes later the pants or skirt is history, and, eventually, the thong is gone. The girls are then asked to pose and rub lotion on their bodies - slowly, of course. There's good variety of "types" here - that is, the girls don't all look the same. Jessica is a tall, "perfect-looking" blonde, while baby-faced Silver (a Wiccan) is much more the petite and cute kind of blonde. Holly has a sexy, raspy voice and a certain gritty, "urban" edge to her, while Tamara is a somewhat reserved, but exotic-looking, dark-haired beauty. Incidentally, Jessica manages to deliver a pretty steamy - albeit brief - masturbation session.

Many have borrowed Santa Claus's beard — from a farcical Tim Allen to the timeless Edmund Gwen — but John Duvall Gluck actually responded to the call of "Dear Santa."
This holiday season, a museum exhibit at Williamsburg's City Reliquary tells the story of a young Bedford-Stuyvesant-born man who in 1913 played Santa and answered the hopeful letters of needy children — succeeding miraculously in founding the Santa Claus Association, only to fail in the end.
For decades, messages addressed to the North Pole moldered unopened in dead letter offices. But a law passed in 1912 permitted the postal service to turn children's wish lists over to private interests — and John Gluck decided to fill the boots and red suit and buy them the gifts they wanted most.
"It's a heartwarming story of an organization founded on altruism, but there's a bit of a twist to it as well," said Reliquary founder Dave Herman, who had Gluck's great-grandnephew Alex Palmer approach him with the idea for the exhibit, which includes photos, scrapbooks, and nearly century-old hand-scrawled letters to Saint Nick.
After tracking down a long-lost relative in Florida, who kept a huge amount of newspaper clippings from the association, Palmer learned the whole story of Gluck and his amazing charity. The young man-about-town used his connections to get media attention and set up a primitive version of crowd-sourcing, convincing major names from the stage and screen to take on hundreds of letters — which asked for everything from toy soldiers and dolls to medicine, rent money, and artificial limbs.
"The real heartbreaking ones are the ones where they're asking for bare necessities," said Palmer, noting that the Santa Claus Association responded to tens of thousands of letters each year of its existence. "Gluck had the idea that charities could be run more efficiently, that you could do it without a lot of overhead bureaucracy, and it would be a more satisfying for the donor."
But by the late 1920s, the novelty of the Santa Claus Association had died off, and public interest waned. To hang onto the spotlight, Gluck had the group take on dozens of public figures as "vice-presidents," even though they had little involvement in the project. The move attracted the attention of New York's Public Welfare commissioner Bird Coller, who had made a name for himself by busting sham charities.
Coller's 1928 investigation revealed that, despite appearances, the Association was a one-man operation under Gluck's control — and that chunks of its funding couldn't be accounted for. The city never filed any charges or accusations against the would-be Kris Kringle, but Coller's revelations were enough to deny Gluck access to the Post Office's Santa letters — effectively killing the foundation.
The soiled Saint Nick moved to Florida and the association faded into history — until Palmer brought its story to the City Reliquary.

If you are coming to Nairobi for work and you are working in the vicinity of Upper Hill- I highly recommend Serene Valley. It is really the most modern apartments you'll find. All the furniture, kitchen fixing, etc, were new and in excellent condition. bathrooms are modern. One of the only places with 3 bedroom apartments. The staff are very courteous and friendly. Whenever we needed help with the internet, dstv, etc, they always came promptly to help. We stayed there with my 3 children for a month. We were new to Nairobi and wanted something with a very flexible lease so that when we found a perm place, there were no hassles. Serene valley offers this. They also have a decent gym and pool as well as a very nice spa. Impeccable maid service 3x week. The manager is very kind and helpful. And to top it all off, it was very reasonably priced compared to other serviced apartments in Nairobi- I looked for 3 days for a place and saw enough. Lovely evening view of the city from my apartment. The only issue is that you need to carefully consider location- this is true for anywhere in Nairobi-- if you are not in upper hill or the vicinity, don't stay there. It's close to many offices- world bank, Jica, etc.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Serene Valley Apartments & Spa combines the comforts of home with the personalized services of a modern apartment hotel. Featuring 2 & 3 bedroom apartments and penthouses, we offer furnished for the modern family. Situated in the quiet suburb of Upper Hill - Nairobi's business district - we are conveniently located close to the city center and major shopping malls. ... more less

|Here are some details about my project:
|Classic, Traditional
What are you most proud of? We'll see when I'm done. Right now I'm proud that I'm not despairing on the poor fit of my muslin and thinking this trial run is a good thing.
What advice would you give someone starting this project? I watched everything through before buying anything. Granted, I multi-tasked through most of it the first time, but it was helpful to become familiar with the course material. For me, the big missing link is sizing. Figuring out your correct dress size and then making adjustments (out in my case) was a huge step forward. You don't want good craftsmanship to be wasted on a poor fit. Here's what helped me: http://www.nancyzieman.com/blog/sewing-general/sewing-and-quilting-questions-answers%E2%80%94choosing-the-right-sewing-pattern-size/. Also, a good "foundation garment" goes a long way to improving the overall look of a fine dress. I wear Rago Shapewear and heels while doing my fitting so I can imagine how the final dress might look when I wear it out in the real world.
FYI: necklines can be transplanted from one pattern to another. That said, you're doing great. The muslin is where you learn what works and make the mistakes. I've been sewing for decades and making a muslin from a new-to-me pattern is the law! When that's done, making up the dress you'll wear goes faster and better, and you're sewing with confidence. Which is what you want (well, you want a dress that looks good on you, vs you looking good in the dress). Good on ya', gal!
:) What a nice community this is!
wow... I'm inspired to try this class now. Thanks for all the tips here gals!
Looks good! One piece of advice which probably doesn't need to be said but since I didn't follow it myself I'll just reiterate it. :) Be satisfied with the muslin before you start your dress. I took a lot of time with mine, but was sick of it by the time I'd finally fitted the bodice and skirt, so tried them on separately, and since they both fit I didn't bother to baste them together and take a final look. Well, as you might imagine, I've had to do a lot of adjustments to the fashion fabric at the seam where the bodice and skirt come together. It's a lot easier, and less stressful, to get it right on the muslin first. I also agree with the comment someone else made about princess seams. Give those a try next time - I think you'll like them. Hope this has been helpful!
Thanks for the note! It's really good to share tips - I appreciate it! I'm going to retire V8765 and make a dress from V8648 (the one used for the class).
I think you're off to a good start. Keep tweaking. What pattern are you using?
Vogue 8765 - there aren't enough seams for tweaking. I'm retiring this project and will use the class pattern now that it's arrived. Keep a look out for my next project!
wow, that came out beauftiful

AbstractHydrogen is an essential resource for space missions. NASA has a need for equipment to generate, handle and store hydrogen. In terms of handling hydrogen, conventional rotating mechanical pumps and compressors require extensive modification and have limited reliability. Electrochemical pumping and compression of hydrogen occurs without any moving parts and is highly reliable and efficient. Sustainable Innovations has demonstrated up to 6,000 psi of compression using electrochemical cell hardware.However, for high flow applications, such as a 6 CFM hydrogen pump for NASA, a departure from traditional electrochemical cell hardware designs is needed. The proposed Expandable Modular Architecture cell design, allows a large variable footprint for the electrochemical stack. This is achieved using modular cell parts to create large active area cells. The modular parts are inexpensive to manufacture and can achieve the high tolerances need for large active area cells. The proposed Phase I activity will demonstrate a single cell Electrochemical Hydrogen Pump & Compressor (EHPC) using the EMA design to validate the modularity of the cell components. The ability to stack large active area cells will also be demonstrated with a four cell EHPC. For both pieces of cell hardware, cycling a pneumatic device will be demonstrated. A manufacturing study will also be undertaken to validate the compatibility of the EMA design with cost reduction pathways. This will facilitate establishing the design criteria for a 3-4 CFMÂ? 1,000 psi EHPC to be constructed on Phase II

Vortex dynamics play an important role in the transport of mass, momentum, and energy of a flow field. Thus, vortex manipulation is the key for controlling the efficiency of any device involving flow mixing. For example, the fuel-air mixing in a combustion chamber is the primary process governing the combustion efficiency. In this study we visualize and measure the size of vortices behind a flat plate to address vortex formation, size manipulation, distance of the origin of reverse flow from the plate, and response to the change of the Reynolds (Re) number. This study also investigates the physics behind the generation and size manipulation of twin vortices behind a flat plate and the functional dependence of reverse flow location with the Re number.

actually, that action can be done without difficulty. He's standing up and he uses mostly his legs to do so. If his getting pulled by himself, his legs would just gon on and stand up.
Stay low, move fast. Kill first, die last. 1 shot 1 kill, not luck, just skill.
don't you think this is the same idea?
Eight arms! Argh! This makes me think the charity should be for nuclear fallout victims or something. Not too keen on the visual metaphor...

I have been using Gmail for my email for a long time, and I can't go without the j,k email navigation feature. I recently got a job where I use Outlook 2007, and although they have a shortcut for navigation using CTRL+. and CTRL+, . How do I change the shortcuts from CTRL+ . to just j or just k?
You can't reconfigure shortcuts in Outlook using standard Office tools although you can use AutoHotKey to redefine shortcuts. This post on Lifehacker has the link to the AutoHotKey script you can use and also there is a short description of shortcuts that work there.
Also, if you want to use this script with Outlook 2010, you should also add SUPERGRID2 to the ctrlList value.

Anago, a sea eel, is similar to unagi, freshwater eel, but it has a more delicate flavor and is a little smaller, shorter, and leaner.
Its bones are so small and fine they do not need to be removed.
We cut the flesh of the eel in a crosshatch pattern to help the bones break down, but even without that, they're scarcely noticeable.
To prepare the eel, we make a sweet-sour marinade with mirin, rice vinegar, and tamari sauce, which are heated together and then cooled; we cook the eel sous vide in the marinade.
The numerous accompaniments include a simple avocado puree that forms a base on each plate, along with red radish, chopped nori, perilla (or shiso, an herb in the mint family), and sea urchin tongues (or roe). Jidori hens are a wild Japanese breed. The yolks of their eggs are deeply colored, almost orange.
They're not imported into the United States, but there's a farm in Modesto, California, that raises a similar breed, and their eggs are what we use. We scramble the eggs until they're dry and beginning to form beads, then chop them fine and add them to the rice.
0 people want to try | 1 have favorited
FOR THE MARINADE: Combine all the ingredients in a saucepan and slowly bring to a boil. Strain and let cool. Refrigerate until cold.
FOR THE EGGS: Put the egg and yolk into a small saucepan and whisk constantly over medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes; the eggs should dry out completely and become granular in texture. Transfer to a cutting board and chop very fine. Set aside. MAKES ABOUT 55 GRAMS
FOR THE AVOCADO COULIS: Combine the water, lemon, and avo- cado in a Vita-Prep. While blending on high speed, drizzle in the oil.
Season to taste with salt. Pass through a small chinois or fine-mesh con- ical strainer and refrigerate until cold. MAKES ABOUT 225 GRAMS
FOR THE EEL (59 C for 20 minutes): Cut the eel crosswise in half. Trim the long sides and tail end. Trim away the small flap and any blood spots. Score the flesh in a shallow crosshatch pattern. Refrigerate the eel until chilled.
Place the eel in a bag, add the marinade, and vacuum-pack on medium.
Cook at 59 C (138.2F) for 20 (check this) minutes. Remove the bag from the water and let sit for about 20 minutes to cool to room temperature.
To complete: Remove the eel from the bag and strain the liquid into a saucepan. Reduce the liquid for about is minutes, to a glaze consistency.
Cut the eel pieces lengthwise in half, then trim into 4 serving pieces about 4 inches long. Use a pair of tweezers to pull away the skin from the fillets. Remove the skin, cut the remaining eel and trimmings into a fine dice, and set aside.
FOR THE GARNISHES: Slice the radishes into very thin rounds. You will need 12 perfect rounds that are equal in size. Place in a bowl of ice water and refrigerate until serving.
Grind the nori to a fine powder in a spice grinder.
FOR THE RICE: About 20 minutes before serving, stir the mirin, champagne vinegar, and grapeseed oil into the hot rice.
AT SERVICE: Heat the diced eel with about 30 grams of the glaze in a saute pan. Meanwhile, place the serving pieces of eel skin side down in the remaining glaze in another pan. Bring to a simmer, basting the fish with the glaze to reheat.
Stir half the rice into the diced eel. Divide the egg between the two rice mixtures. Spread the avocado coulis on the serving plates. Arrange the rice on the plates and sprinkle with the nori. Place the eel and the sea urchin on the rice. Garnish with the radishes and sprouts, and drizzle the plates with some of the glaze, if desired. MAKES 4 SERVINGS

I started windsurfing in the summer of 2007 after a few lessons on a holiday in Croatia. I was hooked on surfing right away. AT that time there was not anyone else surfing where I lived. I got a good friend of mine into it, and then we began practicing. I entered my first competition in spring 2008, the result wasn't fantastic, but going to an event and talk to other windsurfers was very inspiring. I went home and started windsurfing even more. Every single day I was on the water. I entered the Danish Championships in Klitmöller in autum 2008. I started at a special surf boarding school together with junior slalom world champion Sebastian Kornum just afterwards. We surfed together all winter, and in spring 2009 I began practicing freestyle. I learned a lot while at the boarding school. In the summer of 2009 I was able to land my first spock. I entered the Danish Championships again and was 5th in the juniors. Not very happy with that result, I spend all winter training almost alone on my homespot in very cold and icy conditions. It paid off and in 2010 I was able to win all the junior freestyle competitions including the Danish Championships. This result enabled me to make some good promotion for windsurfing, and together with some other new surfers we started Thurø Windsurfing Club. In the first couple of months we introduced 60 new people to windsurfing, which was a great pleasure for me.
In 2011 I trained new guys at the club, and got asked to be an instructor at the Young Gun Summeredition, and Young Gun Classic. Together with all the instructing I trained a lot this year, mainly because it is fun, but also because I had to sail the seniors. At the first event I was 3rd in the senior competition, just after PWA surfer Kenneth Danielsen and Jens Munk. Because of a broken fin, the result was the same at the Danish Championship. But with a new fin, I win the following supersession in front of them! Since then I have trained quite a lot, including a 2 week winter training on Fuerteventura, and I am now capable of landing moves like Air funnel 900, double eslider, switch kono's, triple flaka, shaka flaka and double spock.

Is McDonalds for sale?
Posted in the Independence Forum
#1 Jan 27, 2012
It's probably a rumor... I know the owner frequents this site. Frank...is it true? Are either of your McDonald's stores up for sale?
#2 Jan 27, 2012
My Restaurants are not for sale at the present time. I am getting close to retirement so maybe in the future, but not today. I do have another owner who is interested, but i am not ready yet.
#3 Jan 27, 2012
Mr.Frank will you take a check? If so I can be there in an hour. Just name your price!
United States
#4 Jan 27, 2012
woop woop! thank god!
#5 Jan 27, 2012
Leave Frank alone. He is doing a great job with McD's.
Luton, UK
#6 Jun 26, 2012
I'm interest in that..can you give me a call on 07574952417 for chat.....thanks
United States
#7 Jun 26, 2012
Don't always agree with every thing you post, but gotta give you credit, you have the nuggets to run the business.
#8 Jun 26, 2012
But McMolly's nuggets are of a very SMALL kind ...
#9 Jun 27, 2012
now that theres funny i dont care who ya are!
United States
#10 Jun 27, 2012
I sure would take a check. However you would need to know how many zeros in a million. Let me see million there is only 1.
#11 Jun 27, 2012
niiiiice, frank
#12 Jun 27, 2012
By your posts McMolly you appear to be pretty bright!! Why don't you train your employee's to put napkins in the bag?? Ive went through drive thru 3 time last week and not one time did they put napkins in the bag.. I asked them at window for napkins and they told me they were in the bag. 1 out of the 3 times I believed them and when I told them to give me extra they acted like it was gonna kill them!! funny thing is they were not in the bag.
United States
#13 Jun 27, 2012
I will follow up.
#14 Jun 27, 2012
Why don't you put a box of kleenex in your car, or throw the extra napkins from your daily visits to the choke and pukes in your glove box? Then you'd be prepared! And wouldn't blame someone else for incompotence.
#15 Jun 29, 2012
You would be correct, Frank is highly intelligent and book smart. Yet, he can't be there 24/7. That is why he has managers running the store. I resent Frank being told that employees don't put napkins in sacks. I'm not a manager but just an employee that works evening shift. When I sack food for the drive thru window, the first items I place in the sack is one napkin per item ordered and a straw for each drink ordered before placing food in the sack. I agree some employee's don't. When I see this I tend to correct them. The person at the window that hands your items to you, goes on faith that the person running for them put the items in the sack. When I am at the window, you will see me look in the bag for straws and napkins.Front counter is a different ordeal. When orders are to go at the front counter, we have been told by management not to place napkins in the sack because they are in the lobby for customers that come in.
#16 Jul 14, 2012
Heard from city empolyees that you did sell it Frank? Sold it to some new americans? Really? So it is a show me the money thing.
#17 Jul 14, 2012
Wow Frank I thought you cared about the people guess you had all of us fooled.All you care about is money!
#18 Jul 14, 2012
Frank cares about his employees. He did a lot of things for the employees that most owners would never do. He was a very good owner and he had every right to sell his business if that's what he wanted to do. It's certainly none of your business.
#19 Jul 14, 2012
New Americans? Good grief. You know nothing about who he sold to... I'll just leave you to Frank to deal with if he so chooses.
United States
#20 Jul 15, 2012
OOOOOhh i bet you scared that guy. I mean leaving him to be dealt with by fffffrank. owww ooouuuu frank is so bad owoowwooo.
I got one for you yeah right and blow it there buster deal with it

Did you ever tough about becoming a fashion designer ?
I did but only a few times since my first goal is to go in an Art School to become a diplomed illustrator and get taken seriously when I say I'm an illustrator.
What tool / software do you use ?
Paint tool sai and wacom pen tablet for digital / mechanical pencil 0.5mm 2B for traditionnal.

Assange made the surprise assertion during a news conference
alongside Ecuador's Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino. But his
spokesman played down the chances of an imminent departure,
saying the British government would first need to revise its
position and let him leave without arrest, something it has
repeatedly refused to do.
The 43-year-old Australian fled to the embassy in June 2012
to avoid extradition for questioning in Sweden over sex
assault and rape allegations, which he denies.
He says he fears that if extradited to Sweden he would then
be handed over to the United States, where he could be tried
for one of the largest information leaks in U.S. history.
Assange would be arrested if he exited the London embassy
because he has breached his British bail terms.
"I am leaving the embassy soon ... but perhaps not for the
reasons that Murdoch press and Sky news are saying at the
moment," Assange told reporters at the embassy in central
Britain's Sky News, part owned by Rupert Murdoch's 21st
Century Fox, had earlier reported that Assange was
considering leaving the embassy due to deteriorating health.
WikiLeaks began releasing thousands of confidential U.S.
documents on the Internet in 2010. That embarrassed the
United States, and some critics say it put national security
and people's lives at risk.
Ecuador later granted Assange political asylum. But he was
unable to leave Britain and has ended up living in the
embassy's cramped quarters in central London.
His comments briefly raised the possibility of his leaving
imminently. But Kristinn Hrafnsson, his spokesman, told
reporters that he could only do so if the British government
"calls off the siege outside". Assange had no intention of
handing himself over to the police, he added.
Ecuador's Patino said he would try to hold talks with his
British counterpart to resolve the case. Recent changes to
British extradition laws may mean Assange would not be facing
extradition if his case had just started.
Britain's Foreign Office said it remained as committed as
ever to reaching a diplomatic solution to the problem, but
reiterated that Assange still needed to be extradited.
"As ever we look to Ecuador to help bring this difficult, and
costly, situation to an end," a spokeswoman said.
The Assange issue has put Britain and Ecuador at odds, with
London angered by the decision of Ecuador's socialist
President Rafael Correa to grant him asylum and Quito unhappy
at the British refusal to allow him safe passage.
Asked about his health, Assange said anyone would be affected
by spending two years in a building with no outside areas or
direct sunlight, a complaint he has made several times

Hi everyone. I need help trying to figure out how I messed up something on my layout. I'm new to coding so I'm using Pagebuilder to edit my webpage.
It all started when I was trying to figure out how to add an email/phone # on top of my page from this link.
It mentions to add some code onto the header.php & style.css.
I added those and then decided to delete them because I changed my mind.
BUT, from doing that it completely changed the whole layout and style of my website.
How do I fix it to be back to normal?

cazenove+loyd works in some of the most ecologically and culturally sensitive parts of the world. And we are always conscious of operating in a way which has a positive impact on both the environment and the people.
Tourism is our livelihood and the livelihood of the people we work with in Africa + Indian Ocean, Central + South America and Asia + The Middle East – it is our joint responsibility to promote sustainable development in tourism. We travel extensively and try to influence good practice wherever possible. We also encourage our clients to give us feedback on both good and bad practices they might notice. As a small company with a relatively small number of clients we believe that the best way to have a positive impact is to work with individuals who share our values. Similar to the locally-owned, small-scale lodges and hotels which we tend to favor in our itineraries we also seek out charities that effect change in small, local projects.
We currently support the following four charities which operate in our three regions of expertise:
CITTA is a US registered charity that supports development in some of the most economically challenged and remote communities in the world. It has founded and continues to administer 12 projects primarily in India and Nepal ranging from health clinics to schools. Education for girls and raising their expectations for future employment is the current focus of this committed and low-overhead managed charity. Find out more about CITTA on our blog.
For many years cazenove+loyd have supported Tusk Trust. Tusk Trust is a dynamic UK based Africa Wildlife trust that has 20 years experience in promoting and supporting community development programs across Africa, as well as all importantly conserving and protecting wildlife. This year we are sponsoring many of the Tusk events in the UK to help raise money and awareness of the conservation work, community support and education they are putting in place.
INTC was formed in 1980 by a group of like minded people who were united in a determination to protect and conserve wildlife in areas threatened by human activity. By conserving natural habitats and wildlife, human communities will also benefit. This year, we hope to donate enough money to buy a Land Rover for anti-poaching patrols in National Parks and Game Reserves throughout India.
Rainforest Concern was established to protect threatened natural habitats, and the biodiversity they contain, together with the indigenous people who still depend on them for their survival. The organization focuses on four main areas: Protection and management of forested land to create protected reserves. Set up of programs for alternative income generation, health and education are developed with the local communities living near the projects. Research in biodiversity. Development of their volunteer programmes. To support any of these charities, visit their website or email us for more information.

My nephew overstayed in the United States and received an order of removal four years ago. He never committed any crime and always maintained a good record throughout his entire stay in the US. He left the country himself (means that he was not escorted by the immigration officers or received a direct deportation). In fact, he didn't even know that he has a removal order. He's currently in Japan (his birth country) and is interested in completing his postgraduate degree in the UK. I believe that he would need to apply for a student visa in order to travel as an educator. My question is will he be eligible to apply for a student visa to UK with a record of a removal order in the US?
migrated from travel.stackexchange.com May 1 '14 at 18:09
This question came from our site for road warriors and seasoned travelers.
Your nephew is not automatically barred from applying for a student visa for the UK. However, the visa application will ask:
It will be up to UK immigration authorities as to how, if at all, the US overstay will affect the visa decision.
He might answer that question with "don't know" and then add an explanation what actually happened. He was obviously not deported or removed. Whether he was "required to leave the country", when a removal order was issued but he left voluntarily before ever learning of that removal order is debatable - give UK immigration a chance to decide that maybe you were not "required to leave the country". In theory a removal order could be issued after you leave but before the issuer learns that you left.
(Obviously "required to leave the country" must have some specific meaning beyond the normal, because every single tourist entering the USA is "required to leave the country" within some time frame).

Despite being a questionable second-round pick, George Washington junior guard Danilo Pinnock has decided to sign with an agent and stay in the NBA draft.
George Washington coach Karl Hobbs and Pro One Sports Management agent Daniel Servick said Friday that Pinnock will sign a professional agent contract.
"I hate to confirm it but it's true," Hobbs told ESPN.com. "But he had a good year. He's a good kid and I'm happy for him."
The 6-foot-5 Pinnock led the Colonials in scoring (14.5 points per game) and was tied for third on the team in rebounding (5.3 per game). He was one of the first go-to options on a team that won 27 of 30 games and swept through the Atlantic 10 with a 16-0 record. The Colonials lost to Duke in the NCAA Tournament's second round.
Fellow Colonials junior guard Carl Elliott also declared for the draft but hasn't signed with an agent yet.
Now that he's decided to remain in the draft, Pinnock is hoping to be invited to the Orlando pre-draft camp, Servick said. The hope is that Pinnock could possibly follow the path that Will Bynum blazed last year -- going from undrafted player to eventually making an NBA roster. Bynum played for Roanoke in the developmental league but wound up playing the final 15 games of the NBA regular season with the Golden State Warriors.
Meanwhile, Pinnock's departure, combined with the exits of seniors Pops Mensah-Bonsu, Mike Hall and Omar Williams, means the Colonials will lose four of their top six scorers. The only two returning are guard Maureece Rice (12.6 ppg) and possibly Elliott (11.5 ppg).

Re: Opinions on Skelton vs Sprott fight?
well thing with williams he is maybe the most inconsistent boxer of all time and i belive that with few people to test it.
he actaully has wieght fluctuations...he was 260 odd pounds one fight 218 the other then goes up and down and up and down...niether giving him an overall advantage.
he has alot of stamina some fights and others he puffs out easy.
he is a puncher with a huge right hyand and left hook...sometimes it doesnt graze a mans face.
jab was amazing it got him openings and was a flicker jab from the waste turned side on.....now he doesnt throw it at all....and then did and then didnt.
somtimes he has SO much heart like the potter fight when he dislocates his shoulder and carries on to knock the man out. other times he just seems to say **** it and take a back step.
it frustrats the hell out of me. he is a decent world contention class fighter with all the tools. but he wins a round easy then next round gets mercilessly beaten.
real shame cause at this wieght i think he could do soome real damage to the brit and euro stage
