"Beautiful Bermagui" Bermagui by tiabunna
Bermagui Travel Guide: 23 reviews and 51 photos
Tucked away in a quiet corner of the NSW South Coast, and off the main road which passes inland at Bega, Bermagui is a hidden treasure of peace, quiet and relaxation. If I thought large numbers of people would be drawn there by the lure of this page, I?d feel guilty.
Speaking of lures, Bermagui is a noted hotspot for game fishing. Back in the 1930s, the American author of wild west novels, Zane Grey, somehow found the place. He was a fanatical game fisherman and returned often. Now the caravan park is named after him and there is a yearly game fishing contest.
Until the 1950s, because of the tangled foothills which extend right to the coast, there were not even useable roads linking the scattered South Coast towns. Dairying and forestry were the main activities, and transport was by small coastal steamers. So Bermagui grew as a coastal port for the hinterland - now the cargoes travel by a main road which bypasses the town.
Road travel to Bermagui takes about one hour from either Moruya to the north or Merimbula to the south. For a pleasant day's outing, do the triangular road trip from Bermagui to Central Tilba and Cobargo (see 'off the beaten track' tips)
- Pros:Beautiful scenery, quiet and relaxing
- Cons:Ummm..... none come to mind
- In a nutshell:Our favourite place for short escapes

This does look like a nice place to take a few days away. Your pictures and comments are very helpful. Keep up the good presentations.
Your OTBP places are always a pleasure to visit, George, and I enjoyed this one too! I would certainly try fishing on the rocks and try to find a place to barbecue my catches (A barbecue tip?) I?d certainly spend hours looking at the boats in the harbour.
I love that Horseshoe Bay, a night in a tent between the trees would be great, provided it is permitted. Haha, I second Lori's suggestion - it looks like a double pretzel. What are anklebiters?? Two or four legs?
George- we often love to take a drive down the coast. Your pages are giving us such good ideas of where to go.LOL! That "statue" looks like a confused doughnut! thanks for sharing
Lovely little place isn't it! Esp. Horseshoe Bay and Tide-filled swimming pools. The "umm-err-ahhh " looks like a pretzel reject. hehe!
Can't sayI'm impressed with the "brown knot" but it looks a wonderful place!
Blue pool looks interesting, swimming there is certainly a lot of fun !
Love the panoramic shots...excellent. Interesting location with beautiful scenery, fishing and boating. This would be a grand place to visit, I think.
I like the monument to the Great Magic marine knot! Nice place!
I must headsouth out of Sydney some time - my usual route is north - but this looks lovely too. leyle

Welding shafts to other components can be tricky when concentricity matters, as it does in a rotating assembly. As the melted material cools within these circumferential welded joints, shrinkage differences tend to "pull" the shaft out of alignment, explains Richard Trillwood, CEO and founder of Electron Beam Engineering Inc., a specialist in precision electron beam and laser welding (www.electronbeamwelding.com). His company recently found a way to improve these troublesome joints while working on aftermarket automotive turbochargers.
These turbochargers feature a tight concentricity tolerance between their hot-side impellers (often Inconel) and shafts (usually low-carbon steel). "These impellers spin at thousands of rpm, so they can't tolerate any misalignment of their shaft," says Trillwood. The exact tolerance differs with the size and design of the turbocharger, but Trillwood says it falls "within a few thousandths of an inch" in all the designs that have passed though his shop.
The makers of aftermarket turbochargers have tried various means of creating this important joint, including friction welding and electron beam welding. According to Trillwood, both methods have had their problems with concentricity. "Friction welding can introduce enough heat into the joint to cause distortion," he says. And correcting that distortion has required extensive and costly finish machining and an operation to straighten the shafts. Electron beam welding, the method the OEM suppliers currently favor, can also suffer from its share of shrinkage-induced misalignment. In Trillwood's shop, which has been working on turbochargers for about six years, hitting his customers' concentricity targets has until now required frequent manual adjustments to the electron beam equipment by a knowledgeable operator.
Trillwood's new method for maintaining concentricity avoids both the secondary straightening operation and the manual adjustments by creating the joint in two carefully controlled passes of the welding head. The first pass establishes the joint, while the second aligns it. The alignment takes place through a "re-welding" of selected joint segments at 0.050 to 0.250 inches deep, depending on the turbocharger design and the magnitude of misalignment. As this second weld shrinks, its helpful shrinkage corrects the detrimental shrinkage of the first pass.
Proprietary software controls the entire process, including not only when the second weld is applied but also the weld power and angle of the welding head. "We developed software that automates what an experienced operator had to do manually in the past," he says.
Trillwood developed this process improvement specifically for turbocharger applications. But he believes it has much wider implications. "It applies whenever a circumferential weld requires a secondary straightening operation," he says.

these are extremely durable fletches, and perform well, except for their weight. I find any arrows with these on are a lot stiffer than they are really. They also weigh a lot, and grouping suffers extraordinarily at long distance, although that might just be all plastic vanes.

Can anyone tell me who the crew members of Haskins Hounds were? My father was a combat crew member in the 91st in '54, and pilot in the 6091st after that. He flew the crew to retire B-29 #1843 with Dons Iggles. Seems like I'm getting closer to his history, would love to know some of his fellow crew members.

Like Tom Feeny, I was in ECM school in june 1953 at Keesler. I went to Biggs into 4024 sqdn (sometimes called 340th)I was assigned to AC 47156 RB50 and went to Lakenheath with Det 1 97th bom Sqdn. There were 3 B50s and 2 B29 refuelers. I was there Jan 1955 through July 1955.
Major Bob Marshall was the AC. Lt Davis? was the co pilot.
Other members of the crew I remember are, Denny Nelson scanner, Major Karl Seely ECM, Lt Col Edmonds Radar Nav.,
Fred Savage tail gunner.
We flew many missions along all Iron Curtain countries from Murmansk to Bacu Oil fields in the Caspian sea. We were accosted and fired upon by Russian Migs In May 1955 over Caspian Sea.

My father, Captain Merle Haskins, was a pilot in the 6091st from 1954 on. In 1956 he was the Aircraft Commander. In one of his photos an accompanying aircraft has the serial #47-129. I have pictures of his crew playing cards the air field and visiting native people, on the back of that photo he wrote "village near Clark AFB". Would love to identify these men.

My father, Capt. Rodger A Fees, was one of the navigators on the RB50G shot down over the Sea of Japan Sept. 10, 1956.
Fascinating to hear from men who were there and in one case helped search for the plane and crew.
I can think of no mechanical problem that would prevent a mayday being sent before the plane crashed. Can any of you??

In June 1953 I finished ECM School at Keesler and was assigned to the 340BS at Biggs.
In April 1955 as a Raven I went to Yokota with Major George Thorpe's crew. We were 340BS when we went but while in Japan were with the 6091st.
When we returned from Japan in October 1955, our Squadron was changed to the 4024BS.
In February 1956 I went to Lakenheath with Major Harry Bensons Crew. When we returned in June 1956, the Squadron ceased and the Officer Ravens went to Topeka to fly B-47's.
Some of us enlisted men were cross trained to be radio operators.
My enlistment ended in August 1957 shortly after we returned from three months TDY at Goose Bay

I was A/C of "Jensen's Jewels", a B50E at Yokota 1954-7. The only G model we had in the 6091st Strat Recon was lost on it's first mission without any contact. I flew many hours of search including one at 100 feet altitude right into Vladavastok harbor. I've heard some talk of being lost in a typhoon. BULL... , the Sea of Japan was as smooth as glass during our search.

Wests Tigers dump three key staff with coach Mick Potter also in the firing line
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- August 08, 2013
THE Tigers have terminated the contracts of three key staff members as an overhaul of the clubs coaching structure begins.
It is believed two of the three staff members are assistant coaches Royce Simmons and Steve Georgallis.
The Wests Tigers this morning released a statement following on from the Daily Telegraph's exclusive that coach Mick Potter will not be at the club in 2014.
New Tigers chief executive Grant Mayer held a meeting with club chairman Mike Bailey and deputy chairman Nick DiGirolamo on Wednesday where the club's coaching structure was top of the agenda.
The statement revealed the three individuals had been informed that their contracts would not be extended and the decision was not performance based.
"There is no doubt we have had our game day challenges this year with both injury and performance but there is also no doubt that we have witnessed some trends off the field that we need to fully understand and rectify immediately," the statement said.
"In regards to Head Coach Mick Potter, there is no doubt that he has had some outstanding success as coach and he was obviously a tremendously gifted player.
"That aside, the Board and Management of the Club need to fully understand the position we find ourselves in and work with Mick to come to the best outcome for both himself and the club. There are many options we can consider.
"The most favourable of these options is to work with Mick to develop a coaching structure and provide the personnel the club needs to create a consistent winning attitude. This is a key priority for club CEO Grant Mayer.
"The structural recommendations and personnel to fit these roles will be presented to the Board at the end of August."

BATTLE CREEK, MI -- What an entertainer.
Gabriel Iglesias, a.k.a. that "Fluffy" guy, was on top of his game Saturday night at FireKeepers Casino Hotel in Battle Creek, where even the name of the city made him laugh.
"I didn't know it was real," he told a sold out, 2,000-plus crowd at the Event Center.
He laughed. Fans laughed. His opening act comedians, including good friend Martin Moreno -- who was celebrating a birthday -- all laughed.
It was a magical night for his diehards, and even newcomers.
The rising star, whose fame has crossed over to movies and later this summer a theatrical concert movie, is one of those rare comedians who wears his heart on his sleeve. What you see is what you get. He wears his signature Hawaiian shirt and shorts on stage, and talks to audience members like friends who have pulled up a bar stool.
On Saturday night he performed for about 80 minutes, which was about 20 minutes more than his scheduled time. And much of his routine was spent on his health. He has lost 100 pounds from his top weight of 445 pounds. It's a sobering story told in a way that only Fluffy can make humorous.
At the end of the night he closed the show with what he called "comedy karaoke," letting the audience shout some of the best lines to his classic "Comedy Central" routines. It was non-stop laughter for everyone, including Fluffy.
I was fortunate enough to go back stage after his performance. All I wanted to do is say hello and maybe ask a few questions.
That's when he grabbed my cell phone and started snapping selfie photos with me and my wife, Pam. I was caught a little off guard. That's why I have the same expression on all of the photos he took.
Whether on stage or off stage, he's still the same Fluffy. And that's what fans love about him.

Updated November 2012 to add a great video about the penguin protection work on Wellington's South Coast.
This news item appeared on the Wellington City Council website back in August 2012, but the warning is one we all need to pay attention to, so we can help keep penguins safe.
When I've taken the dogs to the off-leash area at Ataturk Memorial (Eastern Walkway) I've sometimes seen people across the road on the beach with dogs running free. And that's in spite of the many warning signs.
Two dead little blue penguins were found at the airport end of Lyall Bay beach by a member of the public last week.
The Council's Biodiversity Coordinator, Myfanwy Emeny, says this isn't the first time little blue penguins have been attacked along the south coast.
Late last month another penguin was found dead nearby at Hue Te Taka/Moa Point. From the bite marks on all three carcasses it appears the penguins were attacked and killed by dogs
Dogs are not allowed on the seaward side of the road between Wahine Memorial Park at Palmer Head and Moa Point, including Tarakena Bay, except for the main track where they must keep to the track and stay on a lead. This is to give the little blue penguins a safe place to live and breed.
A lot of people might not realise penguins have a very strong smell and are very attractive to dogs. Small dogs can even get inside their nest boxes and destroy the eggs and kill the chicks,says Ms Emeny. …
Under the Dog Control Act, the owner of a dog that attacks or kills wildlife can be fined up to $3000 and the dog can be destroyed.

TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- Alabama pounced on South Carolina for a six-run inning for the second consecutive game to clinch its first SEC series of the year.
One day after a six-run second inning propelled Alabama to series-opening rout, the Crimson Tide put up a six-spot in the third on its way to a 10-5 win at Rhoads Stadium.
Alabama (19-4, 2-0 SEC) will have a chance to kick off conference play with a sweep Sunday at 1:30 p.m.
Kallie Case and Molly Fichtner were the only Crimson Tide batters with multiple hits, but Alabama didn't need many thanks to the eight walks it drew and the three South Carolina errors that allowed it to plate five unearned runs.
Case's RBI single gave Alabama an early 1-0 lead. Freshman Peyton Grantham followed with a two-out single to left that plated Case and Fichtner.
The Crimson Tide's run total tripled in the third, as it needed just two hits to score all six of its runs with two outs. Gamecocks' starter Julie Sarrat threw a costly wild pitch and her defense committed two errors in the inning.
Freshman Sydney Littlejohn, who relieved starter Leslie Jury in the fourth, collected the victory. She didn't allow a hit and walked just one in her 3 2/3 innings of relief.
Jury allowed five runs on six hits and three walks in 3 1/3 innings.
Freshman Marissa Runyon capped the scoring with an RBI single in the sixth inning.

I had a chance to taste through a 6-pack of every day drinking reds recently - 4 reds and 2 whites. While the reds were really not stand outs for me, the whites were really pleasing at great price points. The first white was an Estancia Sauvignon Blanc 2006. The nose was the typical gooseberry aroma that is associated with this varietal and the wine was light, crisp and bursting with flavor. This wine hails from Monterey, California and retails for about $10. The second wine was a Columbia Riesling 2006. This slightly sweet wine had a great petrol nose usually reserved for older German Riselings. Not to be confused with Columbia Crest, this wine retails for about $10 and is produced in Washington State. Check www.wine-searcher.com for outlets near you that carry these wines.

CLEVELAND, Ohio - Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer Dominique Wilkins, now a broadcaster with the Atlanta Hawks, says he and his brother Gerald had plenty of battles during their days in the NBA.
In the latest "Talking Shop" video that takes place at Dylan's Barber Salon on West Ninth Street and St. Clair Avenue, Wilkins says that during his time with the Hawks and Gerald's time with the Cleveland Cavaliers (1992-94), that brotherhood didn't stop Gerald from trash talking.
"He would talk big trash when we played against each other," said Wilkins, also known as "The Human Highlight Film." "He even told me once that I wasn't going to score. I told him, 'Are you kidding?'"
Wilkins scored over 26,000 points in his career.

Taylor's Heroes was founded by Taylor's mother, Leslie Miller, and his aunt, Suzanne D'Iorio, to honor Taylor's memory and his efforts and success in becoming healthy, fit and happy during his life. They know the best way to honor Taylor is through helping others – Taylor would have wanted that.
Our mission is to help children who want to get fit accomplish their goal by providing them with the resources they need to succeed in a fun, non-competitive, easy format. We understand that we are only a small part of the equation because the desire must be within, and for the best chance for success, the parents must be involved in the entire process – it's a family effort. That's why we require that parents also commit to the program, this way we create healthier and happier families, not just children.
We work closely with local organizations, like the Saratoga Y, to create a program that fits each child's interests, and will give them the best chance for success. Families also receive nutritional counseling and cooking classes.
Taylor's Heroes is completely free to the children we accept into the program. We are committed to helping as many children and families as we can so spread the word!

BAY CITY, MI — A single beam of steel rises near two buildings that are starting to breathe life at the Uptown Bay City development along the Saginaw River.
About 100 construction workers have been braving the winter conditions on the 45-acre riverfront development, with work underway on the inside of the offices of Dow Corning Corp. and Chemical Bank, and the first phase of residential condos.
That steel beam sprouting from the ground near the riverfront is the beginning of "Building 4," a mixed-use building that is to include a handful of commercial office spaces, retail shops and potentially a few new restaurants.
Uptown Bay City has been a long time in the making, and completion on parts of its first phase is expected as early as this summer.
"It really is getting so far along," said Michael Seward, president of the Bay Area Chamber of Commerce. "They're already putting up drywall, and come this summer, we're going to have 350 brand new employees locating in Bay City. That's exciting for this city."
Crews last week were working on the inside of "Building 1," which will serve as an administrative office for Williams Township-based Dow Corning Corp. The building, which is slated for completion and occupancy in July, according to Al Warr, the development's project manager, includes an expansive lobby that wraps around East Main Street and a section of the planned riverwalk.
More than 300 Dow Corning employees are expected to work out of the building when it opens, with more likely coming at a later time, said Jarrod Erpelding, a company spokesman.
Come March 1, those interested in calling Uptown home can start putting down deposits to reserve their spot, said Laurie Bush, manager of Century 21 Signature Realty, the exclusive realtor for the development. Residents could move in as early as July, she added.
"Building 2," located on East Main Street, is being anchored by Chemical Bank, and is expected to be finished in August, said Warr. The eastern half of the building is three stories high and is completely occupied by Chemical Bank. The western half of the building raises to four stories. There are 20 Residential condo units that are to occupy the top three floors, and two, 2,500- to 3,000-square-foot retail spaces planned for the first floor.
There are 16 one- or two-bedroom condos available, ranging in size from 800- to 1,000-square-feet, on the second and third floors, and four penthouse units ranging from 1,700- to 1,800-square-feet on the top floor. The smaller units range from $175,000 to $190,000, while a penthouse unit runs $350,000 to $400,000.
"We've had a lot of inquiries since dirt started moving at that site," said Bush. "We're really excited about Uptown's potential and feel that it's going to be a great lifestyle opportunity for residents of Bay City."
There are also plans for Brownstone-style townhomes along Water Street at Uptown, similar in looks to the Brownstone Condominiums at Water and Third streets in downtown Bay City. Upscale condos on the south side of the day dock, similar in price and size to the Boathouse Condominiums in downtown Bay City, are also expected to be developed on the property. It's unclear when construction will start on those buildings, but Warr expects both to be completed sometime this year.
The foundation has been laid for "Building 3," the future home of a Courtyard by Marriott Hotel and Conference Center. The hotel, managed by the Rochester Hills-based AmeriLodge Group, is expected to be completed this fall.
"Building 5," which is to house a Real Seafood Co. restaurant should be open in December, said Warr.
Construction started on the development's day dock in November and is expected to be completed in May. The riverwalk, which connects Uptown to Downtown Bay City, is expected to be completed this summer.
Building 4 is the biggest mystery at the site today. Warr said officials from SSP Associates, the Saginaw-based development company behind Uptown Bay City, have been talking with several retail chains, large and small, in addition to local businesses, in an attempt to fill the 100,000-square-foot, four-story building scheduled to be constructed by spring 2015.
The first floor of the building is to include several retail shops and potentially a few smaller restaurants. A covered arcade zigzags through the middle of the building, offering an outdoor mall-type feel.
The top three floors are being marketed to commercial businesses, said Warr.
"The space is really flexible and lends itself nicely for almost any kind of business to come in," he said.
The building is located on a soon-to-be named street along the riverfront. Uptown officials put a call out to the public to help name the waterfront street and received nearly 400 responses. The group is expected to pick the top five to 10 responses and ask people via its Facebook page what the street should be called.
SSP Associates is also using its Facebook page to seek input on the types of businesses that should be recruited to Building 4. More than 50 suggestions have been offered to date, including requests for Starbucks and Charming Charlie's. Others have called for a furniture and home décor retail store and an art gallery.
Warr kept his hand close to the vest when asked which businesses he is in talks with.
"We expect to have some big announcements soon," he said.
McLaren Bay Region hospital, which purchased the nine southern acres at Uptown to build a new medical staff office and surgical ambulatory center, still doesn't have a timeline on when it would start construction.
Magen Samyn, vice president of marketing and communications for the hospital, said McLaren remains committed to the project.
Bay City's other major development, the Mill End Lofts, located in downtown Bay City between Fifth Street and Center Avenue, is progressing nicely. Bay City businessman and developer Paul Rowley, who's overseeing the project, said the third floor is nearly complete, with carpet being laid last week. Tenants of its 24 residential units should be able to move in by April, he said.
The ground-level of the building is for businesses, including the new home of The Bay City Times.

News Release
For Release: June 4, 2007
BLM Closes Hazardous Mine Tunnels on Quartz Mountain
The state of California Office of Mine Reclamation, in partnership with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, is closing hazardous mine tunnels and shafts in the Quartz Mountain area this week.
"To improve public safety, the BLM and the state of California have an on-going cooperative program to close hazardous abandoned mine tunnels and shafts throughout the state. At the abandoned mines of Quartz Mountain, untrained and unqualified persons could be injured or killed by falling into the mine shafts, being hit by debris dropping from the ceilings of the old tunnels, or asphyxiated due to oxygen-deficient atmospheres," said Gregg Wilkerson, geologist in BLM's Bakersfield Field Office.
The mine closures will be done in such a way as to keep people out, but protect wildlife habitat. Several of the mine shafts and tunnels are used by bats and other animals. For some of the mine features, bat gates will be installed which will permit the bats to use the tunnels while keeping people outside.
For more information about this project, contact Wilkerson at (661) 391-6081

Archuleta County Extension
Colorado State University in Archuleta County is scheduling many exciting new educational programs for 2015. For information on any of these programs, call the Extension office at 970-264-5931.
Energy Master Program
Colorado State University Extension opened registration for its Colorado Energy Master program on Monday, January 5. The program offers participants up to 30 hours of energy education in three different courses covering topics such as energy policy, renewable energy opportunities, transportation alternatives, climate change, and home energy efficiency.

Certification as a Colorado Energy Master is optional. Those wishing to become Colorado Energy Masters complete all coursework and an energy-related project of their choice in their community. Continuing education units are available for realtors and graduate credits are available for teachers.
Each of the three courses in the program costs $65 for regular registrants or $35 for aspiring Colorado Energy Masters, students, or teachers. Discounts are available for those registering for the entire program. The program runs from February 17 – March 28. Classes are taught by a mix of CSU professors, Extension agents, and industry professionals. Registration is open from January 5 – February 10. For more information and to register, please visit www.ext.colostate.edu/energymaster or call 264-5931.
"Preserving With Altitude" – Food Preservation Classes
Learn to preserve food at your high altitude home.
Please join the CSU Extension Master Food Safety Advisors (MFSA) of Archuleta County to learn all of the latest recommendations on safely preserving food at home. The MFSAs will offer a series of classes beginning January 29th at 1:00pm or 6:00pm teaching jams and jellies and whole canned fruit on February 26th at 1:00pm or 6:00pm; pickling, freezing and drying on March 26th at 1:00pm or 6:00pm; tomatoes and salsa on April 23rd at 1:00pm or 6:00pm; vegetables and pressure canning on September 26th at 9:00am-4:00pm; and apples on October 24th at 9:00am-4:00pm.

The fall classes are 6 hour classes and the fee is $20 if pre-registered in advance of class date. Save money by pre-paying $70 for all 6 classes.
Because we all live at high altitude, there are things that we must do to insure that our preserved food is safe. These classes will be great for beginners and advanced preservers. If you are an experienced preserver, I guarantee that you will learn some things that you are doing right and some things that you are doing wrong. When we preserve food incorrectly, we open the window for a food-borne illness. Class size is limited and pre-registration is required. Please call the CSU Extension office at 264-5931.

Learn from local experts how to be successful gardening at our high altitude and with short growing seasons.

Call the Extension office at 264-5931 to get on our email notification list. Registration starts soon.
Cooking With Altitude – Cooking with locally grown, seasonal produce
Learn how to cook with locally produced foods. Watch for this new series of cooking classes using locally grown and seasonal produce. Classes include cooking with spring vegetables, herbal ingredients, unusual vegetables that grow well in Pagosa, cooking with whole grains and much more.

Group rates are available. Call the Extension office for information at 264-5931.

Manny Pacquiao will meet hard-nosed welterweight contender Joshua Clottey on March 13 at Dallas stadium, much to the liking of Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, who was removed from venue negotiations last month in the Pacquiao-Mayweather clash for a number of reasons.
What, then, for Floyd Mayweather?
Sources from around the boxing world are buzzing with names of such fighters as Kermit Cintron, Nate Campbell, Paulie Malignaggi and Timothy Bradley. This list of fighters doesn't exactly strike the casual boxing fan as "must-see-TV," but to be fair, no fighter in the sport would get the type of reaction boxing needs unless it were Manny Pacquaio.
And the same can be said for Pacquiao's fight with Clottey.
Mayweather needs to get in the ring soon, having only fought once in the last two years, but a fight on March 13 – the exact same day Pacquaio is set to face Clottey – has the potential to do damaging results to the sport as a whole. The last thing boxing needs is two different pay-per-view shows rivaling each other on the same night, especially in today's economy where the average blue collar American is struggling to bring home a paycheck.
Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer shared some of the exact same sentiments on the issue with ESPN.com senior boxing columnist Dan Rafael this past week.
"It is unusual, but what can I do," Schaefer said. "It wasn't Floyd who walked away from the Pacquiao fight. There is nothing I can really say about it. I've had the date [March 13] for a long time. Initially it was for the Bernard Hopkins-Roy Jones fight [which won't come off because Jones was knocked out in a Dec. 2 interim bout]. You know what? It is what it is. I'm not getting excited about it anymore. I am sitting outside having a cigar and [expletive]. It is what it is.And Schaefer is right. Boxing will still be alive and kicking after Mayweather and Pacquiao fight against anyone but each other. It's irritating, however, that boxing will continue to be on life-support when both Mayweather and Pacquiao had the chance to change the game heading into the new decade. Evidently 40 million dollars and legendary status is not enough for two of the sport's most talented and most stubborn fighters.
"It's not good. It's not good for Pacquiao to go on that date, which we had for a long time. We had that date, end of story. So it's not good. How can it be good? It's not good for boxing. It's not good for boxing that Pacquiao and Mayweather are not fighting each other. I worked really hard to make that happen and it's not. And I am not belittling Pacquiao's fight with Clottey. It's OK. Hey, we have a piece of [the promotional contract of] Pacquiao. But is it ideal? No it's not. Is it the end of boxing? Is the world collapsing? No it is not. We all have to look to March 14. March 13 will pass and on March 14 boxing will still be there and there will be exciting fights, and nothing will change that."
Boy, I miss these guys.
All things aside, it's a good idea to break-down the list of potential opponents for Floyd Mayweather to give the casual fan an idea of what to expect when the Grand Rapids native steps back in to the ring this March. So let's run down the choices and you can decide for yourself who would be the best fit:
PAULIE MALIGNAGGI (27-3, 5 KO's) – The Magic Man is coming off an impressive unanimous decision victory over Juan Diaz in December, however that fight took place at the junior welterweight limit of 140lbs (Malignaggi weighed in at 138 ¾ lbs) and there's no way a fight with Mayweather comes off at anything under the welterweight limit of 147 lbs. So basically Malignaggi would need to move up in weight to face Mayweather. Sure, Paulie is a quick guy but let's be honest: he's suffered from hand injuries almost his entire career, leaving him with a pathetic 5 knockouts in 27 victories, with the last one coming in 2003 against Kevin Watts. Kevin who? Exactly. Malignaggi runs his mouth better than most, so the promotion for the fight would be fun while it lasted. Eventually, though, the two would square off and Mayweather would win this fight in easy fashion against yet another fighter not fit for his weight class.
KERMIT CINTRON (32-2, 28 KO's) – Cintron would be the biggest puncher Mayweather has ever faced in his professional career, by far. Not only can Cintron punch (80 percent knockout percentage), but he's also fought as both a welterweight and junior middleweight. Cintron isn't invisible – see his bouts with Antonio Margartio who some dispute now because of illegal hand-wrapping allegations, and Sergio Martinez, who despite winning a decision, many felt he was knocked out by a punch and not a head butt. Regardless, Mayweather signing to fight Cintron would prove he isn't afraid to fight the bigger man and a true, legit welterweight contender. This fight would do a lot to silence the critics who constantly point out Mayweather's inability to fight someone his own size.
NATE CAMPBELL (33-5, 25 KO's, 1 Draw) – The Galaxy Warrior is coming off a no-contest against Timothy Bradley and a questionable decision win against Ali Funeka, in which he weighed 137.5 pounds, more than 2 pounds over the lightweight limit. Look, Nate Campbell has gotten the best of his abilities for never fighting professionally until he was almost 28 years old. But a March 13 fight with Mayweather would have him just turning 38-years-old and moving up to welterweight to face one of the sport's best. This fight just cannot happen. Campbell has no business even being discussed as a possible opponent and if it does somehow get done, the cries for Floyd-cotting will once again be heard.
TIMOTHY BRADLEY (25-0, 11 KO's) – The chances of the recognized junior welterweight champion stepping in to the ring with Floyd Mayweather are unlikely with Bradley having ties to Showtime. The fight itself wouldn't be a bad choice – Bradley is a natural pressure fighter with quick feet and a good skill base – but the issue of weight would create some controversy. Once again another possible opponent for Mayweather would be asked to leave their natural weight class. Once in awhile this can be accepted, but when it becomes a theme for every fight you're in, that's when questions begin to be raised. There's no question Bradley would accept the fight. He's just built that way and he's hungry for the biggest payday of his career.
Various outlets have reported Floyd Mayweather's next opponent to be Matthew Hatton, younger brother of Ricky Hatton, to take place in the United Kingdom. Schedules and opponents change in boxing on a daily basis but don't expect this to turn out on the end of truth. There's no way possible Matthew Hatton can be justified as an opponent for Floyd Mayweather. I don't care if they fight in front of the Pope. It's not happening ...
Boxingtalk's Greg Leon reports Antonio Margarito will make his return to the ring after being suspended for illegal hand-wraps after his bout with Shane Mosley last January, on the undercard of Pacquiao-Clottey. Everyone deserves a second chance, but how do you get one for illegally assaulting a man inside the ring? ...
We are a couple weeks away from Shane Mosley and Andre Berto squaring off and honestly I cannot wait for this event. All we've heard for the last 2 months – and it's felt like 2 years – is questions, speculations, accusations and some reason as to why Pacquiao and Mayweather were unable to come to terms for a super fight. Most people don't care anymore, all fans want to see is a good action fight and Mosley-Berto is sure to deliver. It is widely speculated that should Mosley defeat Berto he would be in line for a spring date with Floyd Mayweather ...
Ring TV's William Dettloff wrote an inspiring look at "Smokin" Joe Frazier this week. I highly recommend it. It's a raw piece on a very raw man without the everyday fluff and huff.

I already reached my 200 limit on starters. Someone dropped David Robertson RP NYY so I wanted to know if I should pick him up and drop one of the following:
Kenley Jansen, LAD RP
Zach Britton, Bal SP, RP
Rafael Soriano, Wsh RP
Eric O'Flaherty, Oak RP
Dellin Betances, NYY RP
Wade Davis, KC SP, RP
Brad Boxberger, TB RP
I am thinking of dropping Soriano since he has the least amount of K's, but wondered if this the right way of looking at this.

TRAVERSE CITY, MI -- The 88th annual National Cherry Festival begins today, and for 8 days the community will celebrate all things cherry.
Yesterday's soft opening began with two major attractions: The practice run for the U.S. Navy Blue Angels, who perform today and tomorrow. And fireworks over West Grand Traverse Bay.
I talked to executive director Trevor Tkach a couple days before the start of the festival, and he said it's going to be another "amazing festival."
"We draw nationally not only because of the Blue Angels, but because of our unique setting here with the wonderful agriculture and natural resources. It's a great place to have a celebration," he said.
Along with parades, wine and culinary galas, an art fair, colorful parades and marching bands, sporting events, rides on the midway, pie-eating contests and other entertainment, each night also features a main stage act.
Concerts range from tonight's Collective Soul show to Tommy James and the Shondells, who perform on closing night (July 12).
The festival features more than 100 events, and 85 percent of them are free!
"It's a great family festival," he said. "This is a family tradition, undoubtedly. We see it as a homecoming, but we also see a great number of tourists who come up here and take advantage of what is truly Pure Michigan in Northern Michigan."
Estimates say that 500,000 visitors are expected on site at Open Space Park.
Tkach said the actual figure is "hard to tell."
"But I anticipate there will be so many people here it will shift the axis of the earth," he said with a laugh.
Saturday, July 5
9 a.m. -- Traverse City History in the Movies (Bijou by the Bay)
10 a.m. -- Opening Ceremonies (Open Space)
10 a.m. -- Kids Club (Clinch Park)
10 a.m. -- Festival Souvenir Tent (Open Space)

DeWitt, NY -- No one was injured when a six-foot section of basement wall collapsed early this morning in a home on Kittell Road in DeWitt, police said.
The DeWitt police and fire departments were called to 2011 Kittell Road at about 3 a.m. to a report of a building collapse, according to Onondaga County's 911 dispatch system.
When emergency responders arrived they found that a six-foot section of basement wall had collapsed, said DeWitt Police Sgt. Keith Bury.
No one was injured, and the house did not need to be evacuated, he said. The homeowner told police a contractor earlier in the week had warned the owners that the wall was in danger of collapse, the sergeant said.
Police don't know why the wall collapsed, Bury said. The town's code enforcement officer is scheduled to inspect the damage today, he said.

Advocating for a smoke-free world
A long-time advocate for tough anti-tobacco legislation, the Heart and Stroke Foundation has been instrumental in leading public education and advocacy campaigns, as well as establishing partnerships with government, health officials and non-governmental organizations to strengthen tobacco control legislation and regulations affecting factors such as second-hand smoke, tobacco-related pricing, labeling, advertising and sponsorship.
The Foundation is a key advocate of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control - a unique international public health treaty that came into force in February 2005.
Through this treaty, 86 nations and counting, have committed to comprehensive tobacco control policies including ending tobacco promotions, ensuring prominent health warnings are on all tobacco products, protecting the public from second-hand smoke and helping smokers become smoke-free.
At home, our ongoing commitment to advancing national and provincial smoke-free initiatives has led to our provinces passing some of the toughest and most comprehensive anti-smoking legislation in the world.
Also in 2005 the Heart and Stroke Foundation – along with other leading Canadian health organizations – successfully intervened in a landmark Saskatchewan court case brought by tobacco firms to fight legislation banning tobacco retail displays, currently the most influential form of tobacco promotion to which children and youth are exposed.
To ensure the smoke-free movement continues to gain momentum, the Foundation is working with government – international, national and provincial – and other like-minded organizations towards the ultimate goal of a smoke-free world.
Here are the tobacco-control initiatives advocated and supported by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario:
Bill 155: Tobacco Damages and Health Care Costs Recovery Act, 2009
Ontario joined British Columbia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Saskatchewan and Manitoba in passing legislation paving the way for law suits against tobacco companies, and the opportunity to form a strong multi-provincial coalition to ensure cost recovery and comprehensive settlements.
Bill 124: Smoke Free Ontario Amendment Act (Cigarillos)
Bill 69: An Act to protect children from second-hand tobacco smoke in motor vehicles by amending the Smoke-Free Ontario Act
Advocating for a comprehensive smoking cessation strategy
Watch the video entitled What will it take to beat smoking?
Advocating for government to take action on contraband
Media campaign
Ottawa model for smoking cessation: Ontario expansion

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- It didn't matter to Kathleen Grimm whether there were public buses to transport students to schools on Staten Island.Or whether some of those buses would be cut by the MTA.
Or whether students would have long walks to and from the bus stop.
In fact, when the deputy chancellor for operations for the city Department of Education was asked about those topics yesterday, she had three words to say: "It isn't relevant."
In a contentious trial over school bus variances that were taken away from nearly 3,000 seventh- and eighth-graders across the borough starting this school year, Ms. Grimm, the prime mover in cutting the service, said the only concern she had was that Staten Island was "out of sync" with the rest of the city.
"There seemed to be no real justification for them [the variances] because we do not bus seventh- and eighth-graders, as a rule," she said. Later, she added, "There was no rationale for the variance to continue to exist."
Ms. Grimm also said that from the time the idea to cut busing was first considered -- "close to a year ago" -- to the time it was implemented, she had no knowledge of studies that were performed of the impact that rescinding the variances would have on Staten Island students.
She also said she did not ask any city officials to visit the Island to sample commutes that children would have to deal with.
"We were quite confident that, while it might create some inconveniences, it certainly wouldn't create any safety problems," she said. "It wouldn't impede on anyone from getting to school."
It was only after the decision was finalized that her staff was asked to look into the potential impact of pulling yellow buses, because she knew the department would have to face angry parents and local elected officials.
"When we did this, we certainly knew it was going to be controversial," Ms. Grimm said in court yesterday, adding, "When people have a service and it's taken away from them ... it's inconvenient and I knew that people would be upset."
In deciding about the cuts, there were no objections among her internal staff, not even from the mayor himself, who -- according to e-mail correspondence read aloud during the trial -- was made aware of the cuts before they were finalized.
In an e-mail dated May 3, Ms. Grimm informed Deputy Mayor Dennis Walcott that she would need to "make a call on this ASAP."
Walcott responded about seven minutes later, indicating Mayor Michael Bloomberg approved the cut.
"Just talked to MRB again and he was fine," the e-mail read.
Ms. Grimm appeared to listen intently to questions throughout the trial yesterday, but she didn't have many answers. At times, she was even argumentative.
She said she did not know why the variances granting school bus service to Staten Island's seventh- and eighth-graders were first put into place 42 years ago, or what public transportation options were available back then or today.
"Public transportation varies across the City of New York," she said. "I'm sure it's not the same as it is in Midtown Manhattan. But neither is it in Little Neck or Douglaston, Queens."

Yesterday I sat myself down at the Grotto and attempted to write fiction for the first time in … many years. YEARS. I've blogged and written a number of essays during that time, but fiction? Not a word.
And wow. It was hard. It was NOT like riding a bicycle. Or maybe it was, because riding a bicycle can be very, very difficult for me. It was painful, and creaky, and I stared at every word in horror as it emerged.
I had an idea for a story. It was actually something of a challenge, where one of your friends says, "Hey, writer, why don't you write a story about THIS?!" I have been mulling this idea for a long time, turning it over in my head, thinking of ways I might change it, embellish it, make the character and setting different. I thought about it for months and yesterday I finally felt ready. I had the time. I was in an awesome space.
I almost choked. It was hard. I squeezed out several paragraphs -maybe a page worth and pretty much was horrified by it all.
But it was a beginning. I'm using muscles that have almost atrophied into nothing. But I picked up a little two-ounce weight, and I started. I hope that next time might be a little bit easier.

[QUOTE=canuck416;815533]On Saturday March 3rd 2012 I stepped on the scale and weighed 213 Lbs - Yikes!
At 5' 11'' that puts my BMI at 29.7 - in the obese category! Although I know BMI has its drawbacks I have decided to use it as a gauge and have set a goal of getting to a healthy BMI this year. That means I will need to get my weight down to 178 lbs.
In a little over a month I realized I would be 60 years old and I felt like I really need to focus on taking charge of my health.
Over the years I have remained relatively fit - weight lifting, running, doing some marathons and triathlons punctuated with periods of inactivity. In my new focus on health I will primarily do interval training, core work and yoga. I will also add some weight training.
After much research I have decided on the Paleo diet. Based on the science of fat loss I believe the evidence is compelling and there is no other diet that would enable me to reach my goals. Have been 95% strict Paleo diet since March 4th, 2012.
Today May 1st, 2012 I weigh 185 lbs. A weight loss of 28 lbs in 58 days. Based on my current weekly weight loss average I should be into the 170's in 3 to 4 weeks.
I kept a log on Facebook up to today that you all might find interesting, feel free to check it out ... Thanks
