Aight ... so as I'm surfing to the ends of the internets, I sometimes run across things that are cool, interesting or even useful. I might group this into all of those groups. AllPeers is a handy dandy P2P file sharing tool. I'm just starting to get my feet wet a little with it. As a Firefox user, it has a nice add-on that incorporates drag and drop functionality into your Firefox browser. Great for sharing large files or other files that could be blocked by your email system (like exe files). I've also given Pando a spin. Seems cool, but it lacks the simplicity that AllPeers has. Plus Pando is a much larger install and it imbeds into your email application. Still very handy, but AllPeers is so friggin easy! Do it! ... Do it! ...
EdZachary what you needed? Get the Firefox Plugin: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/3234/
If you know of anything that rivals AllPeers for ease of use and minimal install, hook a brother up and let me know about it!

Something to share!

Hey dude, my name is Zach too. :-)
I use Pando and love it. Way more simple than AllPeers and doesn't require Firefox or keeping your browser or computer online to transfer files. Check out PodMailer too.

Thanks Zach! PodMailer looks pretty good. I'll download that bad boy and take it for a spin. The thing I really liked about AllPeers is the fact that it does run inside the browser. Most of my boys that I need to share stuff with run FireFox anyway, so it has worked out pretty well. I do like Pando, but its one more thing I have to run. PodMailer looks like it could give Pando a run for it's money. Thanks holmes!

Jack Nicklaus talks Tiger Woods, '86 Masters, at Honda Classic
Eighteen-time major champion Jack Nicklaus said Sunday that Tiger Woods looks "very healthy."
Nicklaus, who spoke Sunday during the final round of the Honda Classic, saw Woods during a dinner for the U.S. Ryder Cup team on Thursday at Nicklaus' North Palm Beach home.
Woods is recovering from back surgery and told the group he "was feeling great and he was able to stand over a putt and chip now without having any leg pain," Nicklaus said.
Nicklaus said he didn't want to talk much about Woods' health but said he hoped the 14-time major champion would be able to play again soon.
"I've told Tiger many times, and I told him again the other night," Nicklaus said. "I said, 'You know, Tiger … nobody wants their records to be broken, but I don't want you not to have the ability to have that opportunity to do so by your health.' "
The former Ryder Cup captain jokingly said he couldn't "imagine how them coming over to have dinner at an old man's house is going to help any," but he offered up his home to an estimated 29 players, led by current U.S. captain Davis Love III.
"But what the dinner was about was I think more about getting the guys together, trying to get a little bit of bonding," Nicklaus said, "trying to have them pick my brain a little bit about being a past captain and past player, trying to build a little enthusiasm within the group, and I think guys were very pleased with that."
▪ As Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and Gary Player dominated their era of golf, Mark McCormack, who managed all three players, used his press connections to turn them into a sensation. As many clamor to declare Jordan Spieth, Rory McIlroy and Jason Day as the new "Big Three," Nicklaus thinks the field is too strong to make an exclusive declaration.
"I think you've got more good players right now than you've had in a while," Nicklaus said, "and I think that's only really good for the game of golf. I don't think there's any question about that."
▪ This year's Masters Tournament will mark the 30th anniversary of Nicklaus' last major title. Nicklaus, who started the final round four shots back of the lead, won the 1986 Masters by a single stroke, and his son, Jack Nicklaus Jr., was on the bag.
"It was not a big transition," said Nicklaus, who changed caddies before the Masters, "but to have him on the bag when you won your last major, yeah, that's pretty special. There's no question about that."
The Golf Channel will have a special titled '86 airing Tuesday, April 5, at 9 p.m.
▪ Nicklaus said about a dozen players, ranging from Spieth to McIlroy, seek him out for advice.
"I've had a lot of guys come to me," Nicklaus said. "Most of them are afraid to approach me. And I really — I'm very flattered by it. … I'm happy to give my time to any one of them who wants to talk to me and sit down."

TAIPEI, Taiwan — It's the stuff of a legal thriller.
A crooked politician bribes three judges and a prosecutor in order to get an "innocent" verdict. He uses female, "white glove" go-betweens to help deliver the cash, in several hush-hush underground parking lot rendezvous.
Such are the allegations in Taiwan's latest real-life legal scandal. The case has shocked the country, and cast a spotlight anew on Taiwan's judicial system — a system that's already been criticized for its handling of the high-profile corruption case of former President Chen Shui-bian.
It's also more evidence of the island's growing pains, as it struggles to consolidate its young democracy and rule of law after four decades of the Kuomintang's corrupt, one-party rule.
Just after the news broke, a poll by the Apple Daily newspaper found that 73 percent of respondents said the case had affected their trust in the judiciary, and agreed with the statement that the judiciary wasn't impartial and that it meted out different justice to haves and have-nots.
A poll by the newspaper on Friday found that 57 percent of respondents thought that Taiwan's top justice official should resign over the scandal. (That official and the head of Taiwan's high court did resign just a couple days later.)
The scandal has commentators debating whether and how Taiwan's judiciary should be reformed. But some are concerned the proposed fixes could make things even worse.
Early on July 13, some 100 cops and prosecutors from an elite anti-corruption unit swept down on the homes and offices of three high court judges, a prosecutor and other sites. Those four have all been detained on suspicion of bribery, along with two women suspected of delivering the payola.
The case dates back to the 1990s, when local politician, later legislator Ho Chih-hui was charged with taking bribes to fast-track a land development project and skip an environmental impact assessment, according to local media. He was originally given a 19-year prison sentence, only to see the high court overturn that and rule him innocent this past May.
Ho's now on the lam, with some speculating he may have fled to mainland China.
Why did the judges accept the bribes, beyond simple greed? Some have pointed to insufficient compensation for Taiwan's judges ($3,000 to $5,600 per month, according to the Apple Daily) compared to peers in Singapore or Hong Kong. But the Judicial Reform Foundation's Lin Feng-jeng rejected that explanation, saying he didn't think hiking salaries would solve the problem.
"Judges' salaries are already higher than those of other [Taiwan] public officials," said Lin. "If you want to make a lot of money, you should become a lawyer. Being a judge should be an honor — if you choose this profession, you should respect ethics."
Lin criticized the current head of the Judicial Yuan, the Taiwan branch of government that oversees the courts, saying he had not cracked down hard enough on bad judges. He also blamed ruling party
legislators from the Kuomintang, saying they had blocked passage of needed judicial reform laws and regulations.
Lin said his foundation wants quick passage of long-delayed legal reforms, including a pending "judges law," that would increase monitoring and supervision of judges and make it easier to remove bad apples. The foundation also wants to change how judges are selected, and to consider following Japan's example in allowing jury trials for some important cases (Japan started doing that last year), which would make judges less all-important.
Taiwan's system is modeled on Japan's, which is in turn modeled on Germany's civil law system, rather than the Anglo-Saxon common law system used in the United Kingdom and America. That means cases are heard by a panel of judges, not juries.
The requirement for becoming a judge in Taiwan is passing a written test, and test-takers' average age is 24, according to Lin. Those successful can hear cases after a two-year internship period — hardly a tough enough requirement, he said. Then they have lifetime tenure.
"This system tests people's memory, it doesn't test their judgment," said Lin. His foundation wants the test scrapped, a minimum age of 30 for sitting judges, for judges to be drawn from the ranks of
experienced lawyers and scholars, and to make it easier to demote or fire poor judges.
But one judicial system insider took issue with some of those suggestions, saying they could simply create a new set of problems.
He's concerned that experienced lawyers may be even more prone to corruption, since Taiwan lawyers often spend time drinking with and otherwise entertaining clients in sometimes shady settings, while young test-takers for judge-ships are a "blank slate."
The insider said it was important to put things in perspective, since Taiwan had made great strides in cleaning up its judiciary. "Fifteen years ago, maybe half the judges were corrupt — the problem was very severe," he said. "Now, only a few have dirty hands."
He agreed that the current Judicial Yuan head Lai In-jaw was a softie, especially compared to his predecessor, who sidelined many bad judges in the 1990s. Since Lai took office, "no presiding judges have been probed or removed," the insider said.
He said judges' salaries were generally sufficient, although Taipei's soaring housing prices had made it difficult for younger judges on the lower end of the scale.
One reason corruption persists, he said, is that some in the older generation still hold to old-fashioned, good-old-boy network ways in which "feelings" and personal connections matter more than right or
wrong. "'You are my friend, so I'll say you're innocent' — that can make the system unfair in Taiwan," the insider said.
And he had a more practical reason why some judges might be especially tempted by bribes. Some maintain "lunchtime wives" (wuqi) — high-maintenance mistresses who often "eat better" and get "better clothes and gifts" than judges' actual wives.
In corruption watchdog Transparency International's latest "corruption perception index," Taiwan, ranked 37 out of 180, is far ahead of China (79) and its hopelessly corrupt southern neighbor, the Philippines (139).
But in Asia, it lags behind Singapore (ranked #3), with its famously well-compensated and clean civil service, as well as Hong Kong (12) and Japan (17).

Meet the Admission Requirements
- English proficiency (or attend EWU's English Language Institute)
- Official transcripts
- Good grades
- Official financial statements
Before you get started, make sure you have satisfied the four key requirements to attend EWU.
The most common language exams are the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) and IELTS (International English Language Testing System). To meet the English proficiency requirement at EWU, you must earn one of the following scores:
|English Proficiency Examination
|TOEFL Internet Based Test (TOEFL iBT)
|Schedule Test
|TOEFL Paper Based
|Schedule Test
|Schedule Test
Official scores must come directly from the testing agency to Eastern Washington University. Do not send photocopies.
Students may complete a college-level English composition course with transferable credits from a university or college in the United States. A grade of 2.0 (on a 4.0 scale) or higher is required in that course.
If you cannot meet either the testing or language course requirement, conditional admission through the ELI program may be an option for you.
Conditional Admission on Condition of Taking Classes
Conditional admission helps international students who need English language proficiency in order to be admitted to Eastern Washington University. Conditionally admitted students are required to complete the English Language Institute program prior to taking university-level courses.
Students who are conditionally admitted must meet all of the regular university admission requirements except English proficiency. Conditionally admitted students will be issued an I-20 for ELI study until they are fully admitted to EWU for academic study.
For more information, contact Kristina Guilfoyle at email@example.com or 509.359.7362.
You must meet a basic English proficiency requirement. Applicants who attended primary and secondary schools taught in English are exempt from the English proficiency requirement. Submit an official letter from your school.
Students must submit original copies of all transcripts. Copies are only accepted if they have been certified by the student's government as official true documents. A seal of authenticity and signature must appear on the document. The seal and the signature cannot be copies.
While we are not allowed to recommend a particular transcript evaluator, many of our students select a service that best meets their needs. A listing of transcript evaluation services is available at the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES) website.
Students are allowed to transfer up to 90 quarter hours (60 semester hours) to Eastern Washington University. Please remember that EWU has specific courses ALL students must take. In some cases, but not all, transfer credits will satisfy these requirements. Courses that do not satisfy a General Education Required Course will be transferred as elective credits.
Transcripts only need to be evaluated if you are planning on transferring credits from colleges or universities not located in the United States.
If you are not transferring college or university credits, only submit official, original, certified high school transcripts.
Students who are transferring from a high school must submit original high school transcripts.
College and university students with fewer than 40 quarter credits (27 semester credits) must submit original high school transcripts.
Yes, you must submit your transcripts. If you wish to receive credit for any college or university courses you have taken at a non-U.S. institution, you must also have your transcripts evaluated.
All transcripts must be original documents or certified copies. A certified copy is a copy of the original document that has been verified as authentic by an administrator at your school or a government official.
Do not submit your only copy of original transcripts. Materials sent to Eastern Washington University will not be returned.
Submit the following official transcripts:
If you apply as a freshman, your transcripts must show that you graduated from high school or secondary school with your school's equivalent of a "C" grade (2.0) or better.
If you apply as a transfer student, you must show completion of the highest level of pre-college English and intermediate algebra with your school's equivalent of a "C" grade (2.0) or better.
This grade conversion guide can help you estimate the U.S. equivalents of your school grades.
Applicants must provide proof of financial ability to pay for studies and living expenses while at Eastern Washington University. These are called Certificate of Eligibility (I-20) Requirements.
International students attending EWU must prove financial ability to meet the following requirements. These requirements are higher than Eastern's official tuition and housing rates.
Now that you have the paperwork that shows that you can meet the requirements, it's time to apply at EWU!

LISTENING to Thomas Murray play the organ at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine on Tuesday night was like turning the clock back 40 years and more to a time when most organ playing was in the vein of Mr. Murray's. Even then, E. Power Biggs and Carl Weinrich were leading a vanguard calling for a return to the principles that governed both design of instruments and keyboard performance in the time of Bach, but adherents were still very much in the minority. Since their ideas did win out, however, Mr. Murray's recital - with its Neo-Romantic emphasis - must be regarded as something of an anomaly in the 1980's.
He played it as the 1986 recipient of the International Performer of the Year Award presented by the New York City Chapter of the American Guild of Organists. Mr. Murray teaches at the Institute of Sacred Music and the School of Music at Yale and has recorded the major organ works of Mendelssohn, Franck and Saint-Saens, none of which, alas, were included in this program.
The pieces he chose to perform on the 20th-century Romantic organ at St. John the Divine were Bach's Prelude and Fugue in B minor, Rheinberger's Sonata No. 13, transcriptions of the Prelude to Humperdinck's ''Hansel and Gretel'' and Elgar's ''Carillon,'' Durufle's Suite (Op. 5) and Mr. Murray's own Variations on a Theme of Richard French.
The performances of all of these were those of an organist whose skill extended beyond the playing of the notes to authoritative control of a very large instrument in a vast echoing space. There was much changing of registration for coloristic purposes and gradation of volume through the manipulation of swell shades.
Unfortunately, except for the Bach Prelude and Fugue, there was little music of real consequence in the program, and no amount of fussing around with it could make it better. Thus, once the nostalgia effect had worn off, there was not much to hold the attention of a listener with no particular interest in the byways of the organ repertory.Continue reading the main story

Lenders One(R) Survey Finds Millennials, Hispanics and Boomerang Buyers Are Expected to Drive Up the Real Estate Market
ST. LOUIS, MO--(Marketwired - March 02, 2016) - According to the new Lenders One® Mortgage Barometer, a survey of 200 mortgage lending professionals, nearly two in three mortgage lending professionals (62 percent) expect mortgage purchase production to increase, with an overall average anticipated increase of 11 percent in 2016. Also, 87 percent believe the mortgage purchase market will be somewhat to extremely active.
Mortgage lenders' leading strategies for growth are new marketing tactics to reach new demographics (60 percent), followed by offering new products (42 percent), hiring sales staff (40 percent) and regional expansion (36 percent).
Mortgage Lenders Identify Diverse Growth Opportunities
Lenders highlighted specific groups that will present the best growth opportunities this year:
"The strong confidence levels we're seeing among lenders highlight the continued bounce back from one of the most challenging real estate and lending environments in U.S. history," said Daniel T. Goldman, Interim Chief Executive Officer, Lenders One. "In an environment where lenders can once again focus on business growth initiatives, it will be more important than ever for mortgage professionals to have access to the tools and ongoing training they need to capitalize on these emerging trends."
Survey Methodology
The Lenders One Mortgage Barometer was conducted online among a random sample of 200 mortgage lenders. Fieldwork was conducted by independent research firm Market Intel Group between January 4, 2016 and January 14, 2016. The margin of error associated with the sample of n=200 is +/- 6.9 percent at a 95 percent confidence level.

Earlier this week my co-worker came into work Monday morning and sat at his desk right next to me. He looked over to me with a smile and said. "Man, did you see that GGG guy? He's a monster." I couldn't help but laugh. This is a guy that does not follow boxing by any means, and just happen to be home watching television, scrolling through channels at the right time. He's knows I'm a boxing writer and fanatic. I hyped up Golovkin a bit, but more importantly I said, "You should watch this weekend as well."
It's not often we get to see two undefeated fighters smashing through opponents with knockout after knockout on primetime HBO. 2014 though has been about the rise of Gennady Golovkin and Sergey Kovalev as the most hyped fighters in the sport. This weekend, it's Kovalev's turn to show millions of people why he deserves to be the most avoided and dangerous fighter in the sport today. Kovalev will be taking on undefeated Blake Caparello (19-0-1, 6 KO's) in Atlantic City this Saturday night on HBO. Caparello is talking a lot like an underdog who can pull out the upset, but the truth about this fight is that it's just another fight for Kovalev to decimate another opponent while waiting for big named fight. A fight that is not going to come easy for him.
"I am not a talker, I am a fighter." If you knew nothing else about Sergey Kovalev that line given by him explains everything that he stands for. Kovalev brings a record of 24-0-1, with 22 Knockouts. He's on a 13 fight KO streak with only two of those fights going past four rounds, and not one of them going past seven. The draw was an accidental head butt in which the fight did not go past four rounds.
Sergey Kovalev, like Gennady Golovkin, also has a big problem. Finding opponents that are worthy, and brave enough, to step into the ring with him to give him the big fight that everyone wants to see him in. Kovalev's decimation of top contender Nathan Cleverly last year has steered the big names away from him. Cleverly was supposed to be the next big light heavyweight in boxing. Fans thought that he would be the superstar in the light heavyweight division. Kovalev destroyed him in four rounds, dropping him twice in round three and finishing him off in round four. Main Events, Kovalev's promoter, said since then they just can't get this guy a big fight.
Tavoris Cloud was given an offer that he did not respond too, Jean Pascal turned down an offer, and everyone knows the story about Adonis Stevenson leaving HBO for Showtime to join manager Al Haymon right before he was supposed to face Kovalev. Andre Ward is in court litigation, and even if he does become available he has no desire to move up to 175 unless it's for a PPV fight. Main Events went as far as to even file a lawsuit saying that Stevenson and his manager agreed to the fight and because of that Main Events is suing hoping that maybe they can get him in the ring next. Two weeks ago, the legendary future Hall of Famer Bernard Hopkins said that he wasn't scared of Kovalev, and that he would fight him anywhere at anytime.
"After reading Hopkins's comments, I immediately reached out to all of the potential parties involved on the Hopkins side to try to make the fight happen. But what I heard from them is "I don't know" including who would represent Hopkins in the negotiations. If Hopkins wants the fight, I know we can make a deal." Main Events Kathy Duva stated.
The phone call that Duva made was perhaps before Hopkins himself even knew who would represent him in his next fight. Hopkins was not happy with the change in Golden Boy's structure when friend and CEO Richard Schaefer resigned from Golden Boy's head office. However, Hopkins and President Oscar De La Hoya seem to be hitting it off well. Hopkins seems ready to fight under the Golden Boy banner again, and Duva's stance is that after this weekend, should Kovalev prevail, they are ready for him.
"All I want to do is fight the best." Kovalev stated in a press release. "I wanted to fight Stevenson but he ran away."
Guys like Kovalev don't get a reputation for being unbeatable and given the term "Monster" for nothing. Adding to the hype of them knocking out every opponent that stands in front of them, is the fighters that refuse to fight them in the ring. This builds them up even more because now and days with Twitter, the fans know everything that is going on in the boxing industry. They know about the contract negotiations, they know who wants to fight who, and they know who is avoiding potential big match ups. And no sports fans in the world are as ruthless as boxing fans when it comes to dodging big fights. They do not like it, and they make it known that they don't.
I remember my days of fighting, I remember growing up around professional boxers, and some that made it to the top level. Fans often say that fighters aren't scared to fight anyone because that is what they grew up doing. That statement couldn't be more false. As a fighter, you are always intimated by someone that you know can knock you out in one punch. If the fight can be avoided for a more favorable match-up especially for the same amount of money, trust me almost any fighter will do it. That seems to be the case when it comes to Sergey Kovalev. I'm not saying that guys like Stevenson and Hopkins are dodging him. I don't know what they are thinking, what type of offers they are getting for other fights, and what their future plans are. Both Stevenson and Hopkins "say" they are willing to fight Kovalev yet neither one has stepped up to the plate. I also don't know what rights Showtime has to either fighter. I do know that Kovalev is locked into HBO so if a fight were to be made the fight would have to end up there.
In the meantime though, Kovalev continues to do what he does best. Knock his opponents out while waiting for the bigger fight. Caparello isn't expected to bring to the table anything Kovalev hasn't seen before. Thought it's fight's like these where Kovalev has to be careful. 2014 has been the showcase of tons of "overmatched" fights, but some of them have been closer than they should have been. What we should see this weekend is another great knockout victory by Kovalev, and then another two months of trying to get him into the ring for a big fight. The knockout should be easy, the second part is going to be the hard part.

Warwickshire has smashed the record for the number of new businesses launched in the area in a single year, according to new research.
Statistics, compiled by www.informdirect.co.uk, have revealed that there were 4,650 companies formed in 2014, up from a previous best of 4,053.
This brings the total number of businesses operating in the region to a high of 30,851.
Henry Catchpole, CEO of Inform Direct, said: "This is clearly an area where fledgling firms are flourishing and where people are starting to make their dreams a reality in the word of business."
There were 1,504 new companies in Warwick, 1,038 in the Stratford district and 934 in Rugby.
Taking into account companies dissolved in 2014, there's 6.3 per cent more companies in Warwickshire than a year ago and 25 per cent more than five years previously.
There are more companies in Warwickshire than neighbouring Worcestershire but less than Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Staffordshire, Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire and the West Midlands.
However, when the figures are adjusted for population Warwickshire fares better than any of its neighbours, with 56.5 companies per 1,000 people in the county. That's also ahead of the national average.
Last year in the UK as a whole, 586,784 new businesses were registered with Companies House taking the total number to a record high of 3,509,084.

|From Issue 1
When I started making Pretty last June, I planned to create and publish an issue every month. However, once I started school again that proved impossible. I have instead decided that I will create 3 issues a year. One in July, one in August and one in September. All of the themes are pre-planned so people can submit to whatever they theme they currently have a piece for. These are the themes for this summer are the following:
- Crimes and Coco Chanel (July)
- Drama and Dorian Gray (August)
- Eighties and Enlightenment (September)
The structure of publishing may seem odd but the summer is really the only time where I have enough time on my hands to create something of a satisfactory quality.
|From Issue 3: Books and Bowie
I am currently accepting submissions for all 3 issues but the focus at the moment is mainly on the July issue. The theme (Crimes and Coco Chanel) can be interpreted however you like, but here are some ideas:
- articles on famous crimes/murders/gangsters
- articles on bizarre crimes
- riots and revolutions
- how some people have to commit crime to survive
- petty crimes
- pussy riot
- the bling ring
- drugs/legal highs/should cannabis be legalised?
- fashion articles on coco chanel
- coco chanel and feminism
- fashion photographs inspired by classic chanel designs
- book reviews
- film reviews
- short stories
- poems
|From Issue 2: Attention and All-nighters
You can find purchase the first 3 issues of Pretty on Etsy. I have to charge a small amount of money to put towards paper and ink cartridges needed to create the zines. You can also find out more about Pretty on tumblr, where I will be posting more in the future. All submissions are greatly appreciated and I hope to receive some to make the zine more rounded.
Please send submissions to email@example.com by 1st July.
|From Issue 1
|From Issue 2: Attention and All-nighters
|From Issue 3: Books and Bowie
I promise that I have some more interesting posts planned for the near future. I should be able to post on here more frequently now, and I have a ton of oufit photos, as well as some taken by Antonio (you can see some of them here.)

A legend at St. NorbertBart Starr and Forrest Gregg are among many players whom Cliff Christl interviewed for his new book, "A Championship Team: The Packers and St. Norbert College in the Lombardi Years" (2009). This first offering from the St. Norbert Press takes a look back, through the eyes of those who were there, at the Packers' training camps held on campus during the reign of the coaching legend. If these two excerpts whet your appetite, "A Championship Team" is available at bookstores and other outlets, including the Packer Pro Shop and the St. Norbert College bookstore, and at www.snc.edu/go/shop. BART STARRA lowly 17th-round draft pick in 1956, Starr showed enough promise to make the Packers' roster, but he foundered over the next three seasons. In 1959, Vince Lombardi's first as coach, Starr started the final five games and led the Packers to victory in four of them. He won the job outright in the sixth game of the 1960 season and led the Packers into the NFL championship game that year and then to five titles over the next seven years, including the first two Super Bowls. Starr was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1977. He also served as the Packers' head coach from 1975 to 1983.I thought it was an ideal situation that the Packers and St. Norbert worked out during the training camp period. We could be housed there, hold our meetings there. We spent the evenings there. I thought it was a perfect fit because of the convenience, the closeness, the friendliness of everyone associated with the college. It was just a very enjoyable experience. The setting at St. Norbert and in De Pere was very practical. We couldn't have been in a better environment. You could walk around a little bit, meet people, say hello to them.I enjoyed meeting people. My father had stressed when we moved around – my father was a career military man – that you could be friendly to people regardless of age. That you could be sociable, kind, generous. So when you had an opportunity to be [around the young fans on campus], you'd try to help them anyway you could: Answer questions, be cordial about signing autographs. It was fun.We learned a great deal [in Lombardi's first year]. He simplified the terminology, which had been a lot of gobbledygook stuff. He reduced the terminology that was necessary to call plays and those types of things. You could see from the very first meeting that this man was extremely well-organized and well-prepared. [Meetings] were always relatively short. I think he felt if he could keep it as simple as possible, it would be much more appealing for the players. Plus, I think he felt he could maintain discipline by being narrowly focused and speaking in that fashion.In those days, he didn't have an offensive coordinator, so [Lombardi] basically coached the offense. He was always uniquely well prepared. He taught well. Anytime we had a meeting, I could hardly wait to go to the next [one] because I knew he'd be conducting it. He was just an outstanding teacher and coach.Mostly, [I roomed] with Henry Jordan. Henry Jordan had a great sense of humor. It was super fun rooming with a guy like that. He was a great guy. Most of the time when we went back [to the room], we just went to bed. But it was a good roommate-teammate package. We had some very good discussions. [And] we were a little more subdued than [Paul Hornung and Max McGee]. [But Lombardi] loved those guys because even though they didn't like curfew, they never embarrassed themselves or the team. So Coach Lombardi turned his head and fined the heck out of them. The next morning at practice, no one was sharper, no one was more committed or prepared than those two guys. Many of us always figured that when we had our team party at the end of the year, their fines paid for our party.In the afternoon, when we wanted to get a beer before the meetings, we'd go over to a nice pub in East De Pere. Just over the bridge and to the right. They treated us very well and very privately. It was just a way for us to get away for a few minutes. During training camp, we went over there frequently.(The pub he was referring to was Century Bowling Lanes and Bar, located at 132 S. Broadway St.)FORREST GREGGIn his book "Run to Daylight," Lombardi called Gregg "the finest player I ever coached." An offensive tackle, Gregg joined the Packers in 1956 as a second-round draft pick, went into service for a year, then returned in 1958 and played through 1970. He played in 187 consecutive games for the Packers, the second longest streak in club history to Brett Favre. Gregg was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1977. He also served as the Packers' head coach from 1984 to 1987.I went [to St. Norbert] from 1958 until 1970, then came back there when I was coaching at Green Bay. St. Norbert had good facilities. The cafeteria was great. It had everything you needed: meeting rooms, everything for a training camp.I had heard about [Lombardi] during the off-season [of 1959]. I didn't have any idea as to who he was or what he was like. I lived in Dallas during the off-season and [Southern Methodist University] had some kind of function. I ran into a friend of mine and he said, "So you all got a new coach in Green Bay." I said, "Yeah, a guy named Vince Lombardi." He said, "Do you know anything about him?" I said, "Absolutely not. I don't know a thing about him. Do you?" He said, "Yeah, he's a real bastard."It was a guy named Don "Tiny" Goss. Tiny was at SMU when I was there. He was drafted by the Cleveland Browns and played one year. I think he was in Cleveland in 1956 and '57, then he [went to] the Giants, I think in '58. I don't know for how long, but it was long enough to figure out what Vince was.When it came time to go to training camp John Symank, a defensive back who lived in Arlington, and I rode up to Green Bay together. The second night, we got as far as Milwaukee and we decided we'd stop, have dinner and go into camp the next day. In the meantime, I said, "John, why don't we call Dave Hanner and see what's going on, just in case we're missing something?" So we call Dave up and said, "How is it going?" He says, "Whew-eee!" I said, "What do you mean?" He said, "I've already been to the hospital twice from heat exhaustion. This training camp is like nothing you could ever dream of," as far as the past is concerned. John and I put our heads together and we said, "We won't have any chance of making this team. We better get up to Green Bay." We checked out of the hotel, jumped in the car and got to [St. Norbert] about midnight or a little after.There was a camp boy there checking people into the rooms. I told the guy, "We kind of got in late. John and I are going to sleep in, and we'll come and meet Coach Lombardi at lunch." The guy kind of smiled and said, "OK." At 6:45, some guy was beating on our door. "Get out here." We said, "We're sleeping in." "Coach Lombardi wants to see you guys at the cafeteria as soon as you get there." We jumped up, put on our clothes and took off over to the cafeteria.I'll never forget meeting him. The boy took us over and told Coach Lombardi who we were. My first impression was that he was kind of short, not a real big guy, but blocky. Had a real nice smile. I shook hands with him and he had a real firm handshake. I thought, "Well, this seems like a pretty good guy." He says, "Glad you guys came in a little early. We've got a lot of work to do. I'll see you at practice." That was the introduction to him.At the first practice, we did about 45, 50 grass drills. Up-downs, we called them. It seemed like 100. I don't know how many it was, but my tongue was hanging out. We got through the grass drills, then we started on agility drills and then we broke down further from there and the offensive line went over to its corner of the practice field. We were going over some plays, doing some technique drills. Bill Austin was our line coach. All of a sudden, I hear this screaming. It was like a rabid dog. I look over and Max McGee was walking back to the huddle. Lombardi was behind him, "Mister! We don't walk anywhere here! We run wherever we go! When you run out for a pass pattern, you run back to the huddle! You don't walk back to the huddle!" The more [Lombardi] talked the faster Max got.[When Lombardi introduced the sweep], he drew this play up on the board. He said, "This is the play we've got to learn to execute. This play has everything to do with our total offense. We pass from the same formation. We run off tackle from the same formation. We run short traps, long traps, a dive from that formation. Everything has the same look from this beginning." He went through everything: how the guards pulled and led the play and what they would be looking for; the tight end's block; the split receiver's block; tackles, running backs, everybody. He said, "We will make this play work." And we did.That wasn't the first meeting. The rookies were still the main source of attention. But I think it was the first full offensive meeting after everybody reported. It was football. It wasn't anything I hadn't seen before. [But] he was definite about it and I figured I better learn what I was supposed to do and figure out how to get it done. That was kind of how everybody looked at it.The first two years I played pro ball, which was '56 and '58, I never thought I was in good enough condition to play my best the whole game. After a couple weeks in [Lombardi's first] training camp, I knew I was going to be ready to play. I just hoped I'd get an opportunity. I could just tell by the mood of the players that we were going to get better as a football team. I didn't know how good we were going to be. I had no way of knowing that we were going to be the team of the Sixties. But it was obvious that things were going to be different. You know Henry Jordan made that joke about how [Lombardi] treated us all the same, like dogs? Well, he did. He said several times and it really hit home with me, "I'll paint you all with the same brush. The rules are for everybody, not just one guy. There's no one guy greater than this football team." I liked that type of philosophy and I related to it.I remember we played the Bears in Milwaukee that first season in preseason. They ran a screen pass on us and that big fullback, [Rick] Casares, scored on us and beat us. We were looking at film two days later at St. Norbert. [Lombardi] stopped the film and said, "I want to show you a ballplayer." I had no idea what he was talking about. We ran a trap play and my assignment was to release inside the defensive end, go across and hit the middle linebacker. It wasn't Bill George, I can tell you that right now. It was some rookie middle linebacker and I caught him looking. I knocked him on the ground and then jumped on top of him. [Lombardi] ran that play three, four times and my heart was beating so fast, I thought I was going to pass out. That was the first time he ever said anything really [nice] about me. What he did was – he expected that from me every game. He set the standard.(George played middle linebacker for the Bears from 1952 to 1965 and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1974.)

|What are people saying about Dance Mogul Magazine?
"In my work with young people I often see that they receive a lot of misinformation, mainly because they lack access to professionals in the field. Dance Mogul Magazine is an indispensable resource of accurate information for young dancers, providing the opportunity to learn from top industry professionals and benefit from a pool of extensive knowledge."~ Michael Joy ~ – Director of Artistic and Educational Programs for Kansas City Friends of Alvin Ailey Ailey Camp Director
"More than ever, we need each other's support and wisdom in this industry. Let me explain something I have come to learn about dance. Dance is both selfish and selfless. The number one reason dancers dance is because of themselves. A dancer feels good when he/she dances, and a dancer keeps dancing for continual satisfaction, self-exploring, and self-expression. Then, and only then, comes the selfless part (and only for some of us). After we get our fix from dance, we then become highly aware of our audience, and we want them to feel what we are feeling.We want them to relate. We want them to feel included. But like I said, not all dancers get to that 'selfless' stage. In my opinion, because dance is primarily selfish, many of us become too independent and too individualistic, to the point where we ignorantly believe "I am all I need". I think it's interesting those kinds of dancers/people ignore the fact that there must be a reason why there are 7 billion people on this planet, not one. We need each other. We were created for relationships. We need guidance, positive criticism, positive input, warnings. That's where generational instruction comes in.Thank you Dance Mogul for providing a door into that."~Ferly Prado~
Leanna Forcucci Herron on the need for DanceMogulMagazine. " Yes, especially in the holistic way you are covering the areas of the dance world. Not just focusing on one dance form or what is "popular". The next generation needs to be schooled about our history across all dance disciplines."
Royalty Crew and Royalty Knights on the need for DanceMogulMagazine."Yes totally We believe the dance scene needs a platform to unite all generations of dancers, the pros these days need to help the next generation grow simply because they are OUR legacy."
Aqura Lacey on the need for DanceMogulMagazine "We definitely need more publications like Dance Mogul to have more platforms to share information. Being in New York now and having to build connections, asking questions and just observing peoples journeys has taken me so much further. I am not sure if I could say the same if I were in a smaller city with limited resources, opportunities and examples. These publications really help to bridge a gap, answers some questions and show the reality of this dance culture."
Go out and support Dance Dance Mogul Magazine and purchase a copy. This is a dance magazine that has its pulse on the hip hop culture , always honoring hip hop's legends and royalty, acknowledging present movers and shakers that are making a difference in the Industry as well as in the community and is trying to lead the way to a positive, lucrative future for the hip hop culture.

Five calling, just not at the same time
Square dancers swing to a five-caller format at the Springs Single Dancers' Trail Through Dance June 22 at the Midland area's Carriage Stop. The dance was timed between the annual state and national square dance events. The callers, whose group name is "Mountain Magic Callers," took turns singing and giving direction to the dancers. "We practice this; we don't just walk up there and do it," remarked caller Bear Miller.

Introduction to Plugins
What are plugins?
Plugins allow you to extend b2evolution with features that are not included in the the core (or at least not included yet…).
Plugins provide additional functionality by taping into hooks that are provided by the b2evolution core. This way, the application can easily get extended without modifying its PHP files directly. The advantage is that when you use plugins for extension rather than modifying core b2evolution files, any upgrades to the b2evolution core will not overwrite your plugin functionality.
Plugin Management
For b2evolution to be able to use a plugin, it must be installed first. This allows b2evolution to be aware of the presence of the plugin and to know when to call it.
Installation and management of plugins is done through the back office in the System > Plugins Tab.
Installing a plugin
To install a plugin in b2evolution, you simply have to put either the downloaded plugin file or folder (depending on what was given to you) into the
plugins/ folder.
After that, go to System > Plugins and click "Install new". This will show you the list of Plugins Available For Installation. This is where you can install/activate the new plugin.
Some plugins might not get enabled right away, but need further configuration. You should receive a note about this then.
Uninstalling a plugin
If for some reason you need to uninstall a plugin after being properly installed, as described above, you have to go to System > Plugins in the back-office, locate the plugin and click on the "Delete" icon.
Please be careful and consider this action could not be undone after confirm, and the deletion process will also delete all the tables associated with the plugin, producing a possible loss of data.
At this moment your plugin is uninstalled but available for installation again. If you want to fully delete it, then you have to identify its folder (if any) and files at the
plugins/ folder and delete the files from there.
Where to get plugins
We have a repository at http://plugins.b2evolution.net/, where you can browse plugins by category and version.

C. Dale Young
(2009 - Poetry)
There was the knife and the broken syringe
then the needle in my hand, the Tru-Cut
followed by the night-blue suture.
The wall behind registration listed a man
with his face open. Through the glass doors,
I saw the sky going blue to black as it had
24 hours earlier when I last stood there gazing off
into space, into the nothingness of that town.
Bat to the head. Knife to the face. They tore
down the boy in an alleyway, the broken syringe
skittering across the sidewalk. No concussion.
But the face torn open, the blood congealed
and crusted along his cheek. Stitch up the faggot
in bed 6 is all the ER doctor had said.
Queasy from the lack of sleep, I steadied
my hands as best as I could after cleaning up
the dried blood. There was the needle
and the night-blue suture trailing behind it.
There was the flesh torn and the skin open.
I sat there and threw stitch after stitch
trying to put him back together again.
When the tears ran down his face,
I prayed it was a result of my work
and not the work of the men in the alley.
Even though I knew there were others to be seen,
I sat there and slowly threw each stitch.
There were always others to be seen. There was
always the bat and the knife. I said nothing,
and the tears kept welling in his eyes.
And even though I was told to be "quick and dirty,"
told to spend less than 20 minutes, I sat there
for over an hour closing the wound so that each edge
met its opposing match. I wanted him
to be beautiful again. Stitch up the faggot in bed 6.
Each suture thrown reminded me I would never be safe
in that town. There would always be the bat
and the knife, always a fool willing to tear me open
to see the dirty faggot inside. And when they
came in drunk or high with their own wounds,
when they bragged about their scuffles with the knife
and that other world of men, I sat there and sutured.
I sat there like an old woman and sewed them up.
Stitch after stitch, the slender exactness of my fingers
attempted perfection. I sat there and sewed them up.

Author's Statement
I am deeply grateful to the NEA for this fellowship. I am not only thankful for the financial support it offers that allows me more time to write, but also for the affirmation such an award brings with it. This fellowship gives me the time to put the finishing touches on my third book manuscript as well as work on new writing. I am still somewhat shocked to have received this amazing gift.

The Red Bull Double Pipe is going down at Aspen, Colorado and some of the best halfpipe riders in the world have congregated to drop into the behemouth double dude tube.

Here's what it really looks like to take a run in the Red Bull Double Pipe.
