All dog owners know how important it is to keep our dogs teeth clean and for several years now the market has been flooded by all sorts of chews and toys to help us do this task. I think like most other owners we work our way through most of the better known brands on the market trying to find a good one to suit both what we want from the product and also that our pet enjoys.
These chews are funny looking, they are long pale brown sticks with groves around the outside, the grooves are meant to help remove plaque from your pets teeth as it chews the chew. I think that would possibly work but these chews are so soft that Alf gets through them in seconds barely chewing anything. The sticks are around 20cm long in length and are low in fat.
The inside of these chews is a darker colour and I think this is the part that has the flavour in it, obviously having never tried them I am not sure! I do not really see the point of this unless you had a very fussy dog, but ours would happily eat the outside without the flavoured centre.
These chews are made by Bakers and are available in Supermarkets, Amazon, Pet shops and many more. They come in packs of Beef and Chicken each with 7 sticks inside.
The 7 pack of chews retails for around £1.79.
I really see these more as treat chews than teeth cleaning ones, they are just eaten way to fast to do much to his teeth. He does appear to enjoy them, but with out dog sadly that does not mean much, to give you a better understanding of this, our will sit for his medication that must taste horrid and he happily eats them no pressure. So I really can not judge too much how good something is by his wiliness to eat it!
As such I am not really sure how much to give this, I am around the 3.5 mark because they are not really a good chew and are fairly expensive.
I recently bought these as a treat for my three Spaniel boys. As serial chewers they have excellent teeth and oral hygiene, so I bought these primarily as a treat, and if there were added benefits of dental care then that was a bonus. I'm always looking out for treats that will last longer than a quick gulp, so I thought if these are designed for chewing then hopefully my dogs would spend a bit of time eating them. The sticks are approximately six inches long, with a red coloured centre, running through the chew like a stick of rock, and are surrounded by a beige coloured, plastic-looking substance with raised lines which make it look like a cog when viewed side on. . They look very artificial and reminded me of something that was made by Lego or Mecanno and wouldnt look out of place in a box of childrens building blocks.The boys always know by the tone of my voice when I call them for a treat so they were already very excited when I reached them a stick each. Very unusually for them, they hesitated before tucking in.One seemed not to like his at all and let it drop - then looked at me for a tastier alternative - meanwhile one of his bros snatched the one he'd left. I would not buy these again - my dogs are healthy enough and a treat should be an exciting experience - which these obviously were not. Thanks for reading.
My dogs love these treats and I used to buy them quite regularly but they seem to be getting more and more expensive in my two main local supermarkets and I refuse to pay so much for a treat that will be gobbled down in a couple of minutes when there are cheaper and better value for money treats available.
I usually pick a couple of packs up when they're on offer or whenever I spot them in Poundland as my local store sells a range of Baker's products. A 270 gram pack of seven large treats retails at around £2.09 - not too bad if you only have one dog but seeing as I have four dogs a pack lasts for two days at the most. There are also small and medium sized versions which are slightly cheaper but as my dogs are large breeds I buy the large as a medium one would be swollowed whole I think!!
The treats are classed as chews but they're very soft so don't recquire much chewing unless you have a puppy or perhaps an old and fragile dog. The chews/treats come in a plastic packet which is blue with red detailing on it and the Baker's logo. The product name and brand name are written clearly on the front of the pack and it is clearly stated how many treats the pack contains and which size of dog they are suitable for.
The packaging also has a large picture of the chews making it clear to the consumer what the chews actually look like. The front of the pack has several boasts such as 'tasty cleaning action', 'low in fat' and so on. Nutritional value as well as the ingredients are listed on te back and each treat contains cereal, a low percentage of meat/animal derivatives, minerals, vegetable protein extracts, yeast, oils and fat as well as several vitamins. There are two flavours available - chicken and beef.
The packet is easy to open - simply tear the corner. It is not re-sealable which is not a disadvantage for me as my dogs eat the whole pack of chews within two days but if you are going to have the packet in your home for a few days the smell does start to become noticeable so it's a good idea to transfer them into an air tight container. I do this whenever I chop the treats up into chunks to make them last longer as they stink of meat.
The chews themselves are long and slightly rounded. The texture is firm while still being quite soft and they can be broken in half or cut into pieces very easily. The outer is quite thick and the inside is a crumbly meaty filling which can be a little messy but we have wooden floor so it is easy to clean up. My dogs all love these treats and sniff like mad and do all sorts of tricks to get one. A whole chew will last for around 3 minutes which isn't great but they're good as an ocassional treat for my dogs.
Overall I do recommend these but as they are not great value for money or long lasting I have knocked one star off.
As all owners of dogs should be aware, it is vitally important to help keep your pooch's teeth as healthy as possible in order to minimise the risk of gum disease, tooth decay, tartar build up and other nasties from developing. There are tooth pastes marketed at dogs but alot of pooches will not abide a brush rootling round their mouth and scrubbing at their gnashers; including my own usually angelic dog who put up such a protest that I'll admit I soon gave up on the idea and looked for other alternatives. She gets rawhide chews regularly and they seem to do a cracking job but when I saw these new treats marketed for being dental friendly and effective due to their innovative shape and design I decided to give them a go, Pedigree do a version but it was the Bakers variety that I tried out first.
The treats come in a range of sizes to suit different dogs, for instance the medium sticks are aimed at dogs weighing from 10kg-25kg; my own pooch is a German Shorthaired Pointer and is quite a petite girl for her breed so medium is usually what we opt for. The treats also come in different flavours, I have seen both chicken and beef options on the shelves; we've tried her with both and her own preference seems to be the beef, though she will happily chow down on either she seems to attack the beef with that bit more gusto. The dental sticks remind me slightly of jumbones as they have a crunchy hard outer layer and a softer meaty middle, the treats have long ridges in their shape and I suppose it is these that are designed to clean the teeth, acting with slight abrasion on the tartar when chewed. Each pack comes with 7 sticks and you can pick them up for the reasonable sum of £1.85 from Pets at Home which is where I do most of my shopping for the pets.
Whilst they are a good idea I've found that my girl can finish the whole thing in a matter of minutes; it takes her no time at all to gulp it down. Now she is a serial treat destroyer but I still expected better and they don't really act as the boredom breaker I'd hoped; I'm not sure that they even work on her teeth - I think that because she eats it so quickly it probably doesn't have time to even begin working on her teeth. For dogs that take their time I imagine that the dental sticks would fair better, my princess obviously thinks they're tasty by how fast she demolishes them but as for her teeth I can't say I've noticed much difference. For the fight against plaque I think I'll stick to rawhide in the future as that takes her a lot longer to chew and she can't get through it nearly as quickly.
I have a westie and a chihuahua and I like to give them treats now and again - but I prefer to try to make these treats as healthy as possible. Something I do buy them fairly regularly is Bakers Dental Delicious which are treats which are also good for their teeth.
These are soft chews which come in a variety of meaty flavours, but certainly the most readily available, and the flavour I usually buy, is the chicken flavour. A packet which contains 7 of the chews costs £1.69 from Tesco - which equates to 24p per chew, which now I come to breaking it down, is actually fairly expensive for a doggie treat that really doesn't last very long at all. They come in foil pack which helps to keep them fresh, and this packet can be resealed which also helps to keep in the freshness (not that they stay around in my house long enough for that to really be an issue!).
These snacks apparently are nutritionally healthy as they are low in fat and salt, and they also help to promote good oral hygiene. Anything that helps to keep their gums and teeth healthy and strong is fine by me. Obviously, I have no evidence as to whether this actually works to improve their dental health, but I can say that both of my dogs have overall good health, including dental health.
The best judges of these snacks are obviously my dogs.....and they seem to approve. They do both woolf them down and seem very happy to receive them. However, I have to say that they really don't last very long and usually a couple of minutes after being given one each then the chew is no more. I would like for the chews to last a little longer - especially considering the price. Having said that, they do seem to enjoy them and they don't end up with me finding little bits of chew around the house.
I was given these by a friend, ordinarily I would not buy any Bakers treats as I feel they are sull of sugar and cereals and do not have anything nutrious for the dog.
Not liking to waste things either I decided the dogs could have the treats. They are about 20cm long sticks which have ridges along the length and a soft filling in the middle.
They certainly did not last long at all and were gone in a matter of 3 minutes.
They had no overpowering aromour and the dogs were only interested at the russtling noise as I was getting them out the packet instead of sniffing the air as they do with other treats.
They certianly did not go over excited when they realised what treat it was, unlike some treats they really like.
I wouldnt buy these again as I do not feel they did mych on the dental way as they were hardly ridged to be able to massage the gums and the dogs didnt go mad over them either.
Denti Stix are a beter option and at the same price no difference in buying them. They only come in one size unlike the denti stix which are diffeent sizes for different dogs. These come in one large size only. Not great for little dogs!
My 8 month old staffordshire bull terrier/ shar-pei cross is very spoilt and I am always buying him new treats. I like to give him a large chew a day designed for teeth, but suprisingly he is very fussy about this (I say surprising because he eats everything else). I have tried a number of brands to no avail- he just leaves them!
I saw these in Wilkinsons priced at £1.30 for 7 chews- the ones I purchased were for medium dogs of 10-25kg and advertised as 'flavoured with beef' and 'low fat'. They come in a handy resealable bag to keep them fresh. It was, however, only after I had given him the chew I noted the 'not suitable for puppies under 9 months' in small print so blind panic set in- this is something I have never seen on dog treat packaging before, 4 months yes, but 9 months? As an inexperienced dog owner I was also unsure about the guidance to 'adjust main meal accordingly'- exactly how much of his food should I remove? I found it's information very vague!
I'm pleased to report no adverse effects on Rafael, but am still curious as to why the age is set so high. Back to the product, I found it quite hard to believe it has a great deal to offer in the dental department because it is not what I would call a 'hard' chew, which of course would assist tartar removal. Bakers claim it is the shape of the chew that removes the tartar build up. I have to say that Rafael loved this dental chew, so much it possibly only remained in his mouth approx. 5 seconds! Unlike other dental chews, it didnt leave any mess, but didn't freshen his breath at all, just made it meaty!
On a plus side it does appear to contain a broad range of vitamins and minerals, which has got to be a good thing! I would also say that it's packaging is made up of a variety of vibrant colours which certainly makes it stand out on a shelf and it's price is as competative as other leading dental chews, so overall, I would buy them again because he clearly loved the taste, but will continue to buy rawhide chews for their hardness
After a recent vet visit I discovered that my collie that needs a bit more care taken with his teeth as he is 8 years old now and his breath was beginning to smell bad. I had tried to use different products to help this as there is no way he would let me go near his mouth but nothing helped. The vet advised me to get him these dental biscuits.
They cost me 6 euro for a packet for 12 in my vets but I'm sure you could find them cheaper in pet shops. You should give one of these sticks a day to your dog to help keep their teeth healthy and strong. They consist of an outer layer which is brown and chewy and this layer cleans the dogs teeth. It has lots of groves in it so it is desgined to get into the nooks and crannies in their mouth.
The centre of this treat is meaty and my dog really seems to enjoy it. His breath doesnt smell minty fresh after it but I am confident that it is helping to remove plague and keep his teeth clean after inspecting them myself.
They can be a bit expensive to give everyday so I just give my dog half of one everyday and I think it does just as good. I would highly recommend these to any dog owners especially if you have a more mature dog who is prone to bad breath like mine.
Our dog Mampi Swift is a beautiful Staffie and to be honest he's a little spoilt, like most pets he's become an important addition to the family and looking after him is great fun, he loves to be groomed and bathed but you also have to look after a dogs teeth and whilst shopping in the Co-op I came across a packet of these Bakers Dental Delicious for £2.05 which I thought he might like for a treat and also because they help to keep the dogs teeth and gums clean.
You get seven little sticks of that are chewy and have a meaty centre, you can get chicken flavour or meat flavour, so thinking this would be good for him I bought it and brought it home for him to try.
You can give the dog a chew once a day as an addition to their daily food intake, it is not advised to give them more than one and by chewing them the dog gets the benefit of healthier teeth and gums.
The dental sticks are about four inches long and these would be good for a small dog to chew on, with Mampi being a staffie he has very powerful jaws and the stick that I gave him disappeared within about five seconds flat.
He just chomped it and swallowed it and sat up looking at me as though to say, " that was nice can I have another one".
These sticks claim to remove plaque from a dogs teeth but to be honest the stick didn't even have time to touch the sides of his mouth before he had devoured it, so for a breed like a Staffie or a bigger dog I wouldn't recommend these as they really don't have the time in the dogs mouth to do any good.
Having said that if the dog was a small terrier then I think the stick would be able to be chewed by the dog, I think it is a good idea for the dogs to have these and will be looking for another size or a chunkier dental chew for mampi, but for now I don't think I will be buying any more of these as it's just a waste of money for this breed of dog.
Here is another doggy dental treat I've tried!
I tried these as they advertise as being low fat whilst also being healthy for dogs teeth, two in one really?!
When I buy them, I always get the chicken flavour... which I think is best for my dog.
Price; ....
I buy these treats from Pets at Home, you get 7 sticks for £1.80 which I think is quite reasonable!
This works out at about 25p a stick... which is 25p a day if you feed your dog one a day!
Product; ....
Each stick has a soft meaty centre, which doesn't get all over your carpet! That's always a plus in my opinion. As some other meaty treats I've tried leave a mess on the floor and fabrics, I was pleased to see a clean living room when my dog had finished chewing his way through a stick happily on the front room rug!
The sticks are a fine size for my small dog, although I don't think they'd last very long with large dogs! So I can't see them being much use for large dog's teeth when they don't like 2 seconds!
The oils and fats content is lower than other dog treats I've tried, so I'm happy that the 'low fat' statement is somewhat true!
Ingredients; ....
Meat and Animal Derivatives (min. 10% Chicken),
Vegetable Protein Extracts,
A minimum of 10% Chicken? Wow that is impressive compared to Bakers complete dog food which contains just 4%!!!
Moisture 14%,
Protein 16%, -- Quite a good amount of protein for a doggy treat!
oils and Fats 4%,
Fibre 2%,
Ash 11.5%,
Vitamin A 5,000iu/kg, Vitamin D 500iu/kg, Vitamin E 50mg/kg
I am happy to feed my dog a treat which I know has good contents! I don't tend to give him one a day as I try so many different treats... if I gave him one of each a day he'd be very unhealthy haha!
The packaging; ....
The packaging is uniform to Bakers others treats, so easily recognised!
The treats come in sticks of 7 in a reasonably sized pack. Some of the packs I've bought are re-sealable, other times they aren't! But it really does help being able to reseal a pack as it avoids the sticks going hard and keeps them fresh!
Others; ....
The treats also come in beef flavours at the same price... there are no other flavours! Not much of a variety! Id definitely recommend buying the chicken rather than the beef as beef is a cheap meat and can sometimes upset dog's stomachs'!
Or you can buy them in a pack of 28 containing both flavours costing £6.84.. Which works at around 24p a stick. Not much of a saving but it saves you from buying the packs frequently and is useful for if you have a few dogs!
I would recommend buying these treats as they are quite cheap... although there are a lot of treats to choose from, including other dental sticks and these aren't my favourite.
Thank you for reading... I also use Ciao with the same username!
We are a household with 4 dogs, which can be very hectic at times.Itis also expensive caring for 4 dogs, even though they are all smaller breeds.
One thing I am very strict on is that I like them all to have a denta stick every evening after they eat, that way I know I am keeping their teeth in a good condition, or the best I can do, anyway!
The trouble is that our dogs only really eat wet dog foods. We have been trying to introduce the bakers gravy bites, which some of them will eat a bit of here and there. The trouble with wet dog food is that there is no crunch and so it does nothing to help clean the teeth and this can cause the dog to be more prone to tartar around the teeth.
I would lobe them to eat the dried foods so that their teeth are in the best possible condition, but what can you do when they wont eat. We did try tobrush their teeth, but no one enjoyed that, including myself.
I want their teeth to be kept well for a number of reasons including the dogs welfare as well as vet procedures and costs.
Due to all of this we give each dog a denta stick every single day. I don't mind which ones they have and usually buy whatever is on offer or at the best price. They all seem very similar in size and shape. The only difference with these ones is that they have a different centre. The middle part of the chew is slightly softer and meaty, so I guess it makes the dogs chew through more than others.
The dogs definately like these more than other brands they have tried. the trouble is they are one of the most expensive dental chews about, so they have here and there as a treat.
A pack of 7 chews costs around £1.80 or you can get a larger pack of 28 for roughly £6.80. The trouble is when you have to buy 4 lots per week, this gets quite expensive and you can pick up a 7 for 99p most of the time, with other brands, so by comparison these are quite pricey.
I think these are a great way of keeping your dogs teeth in good condition. but i do think they need to lower the price a bit.
I sort of wish i hadn't discovered Bakers Dental Delicious sticks.
My dog Lucy had quite a tough start in life and as such is a little on the mard side, specialising in 'no-one loves me' looks which of course make me want to give her nice things (dog-friendly nice things). We actually tried the Pedigree Dentastix first but switched to these as they used to be cheaper than Pedigree (no longer the case, they are around the same price now, although sometimes on offer).
They come in a choice of chicken or beef flavour (not sure there is a difference). As recommended on the pack, i give her one of these per day.
Unfortunately i started giving her this daily treat when i got home from work, which over time developed into her wanting nothing else but a 'dentastick' as soon i walked through the door (she jumps around next to the cupboard they are kept in), and now assumes she can have one every time i return from going out. She even knows the word and goes to sit by the cupboard when i say it.
I dread to think what would happen if i ran out. I don't think these actually make much difference to Lucy's teeth or breath and the Pedigree ones do seem to do a better job in that respect (certainly less bad breath) but dentastick time is the highlight of her day and i'm now destined to be down £1.79 a week as i couldn't bear to cut her off now.
*What are Bakers Dental Delicious?*
These treats are a fairly new product by the Bakers Complete company who are well known for their popular range of dry dog food for dogs from puppies, adult and then through to senior. Bakers is produced by the Purina company who also own Felix, Go-Cat, Bonio and Winalot.
*The product itself*
Its just as important for dogs to keep their teeth clean as it is for us, but it can be a huge problem trying to persuade a dog to have their teeth brushed- and even if you get them use to it from a puppy, most dogs still really detest it and you end up fighting a loosing battle, especially if, as in my case, that little puppy grows up to weigh as much as you. Of course, feeding a dry kibble diet instead of canned foods will help keep their teeth in reasonable condition, but a little help is still needed, and that's where these treats come in. Each pale beige stick is around 4 inches long, and around half an inch in width, with small grooves running the length of the treat, these are designed to gently clean teeth and gums as the dogs chews on them, helping to keep teeth strong and white, and gums healthy. Each treat stick is also filled with a softer meaty centre, which I believe doesn't help do anything for the teeth but gives the dog a varied texture and flavour, they come in either chicken or beef variety and are low in fat so ideal for dogs who could do with loosing a few pounds (ahem, Ruby).
Unlike Pedigree Dentastix which claim to actually help remove plaque already on the dogs teeth by up to 80% , it seems these treats are only really designed to help keep teeth which are already fairly healthy to begin with, that way, as the packaging doesn't say anything thing about removing plaque, therefore they are probably best suited to younger dogs to help prevent plaque forming in the first place, and leaving Pedigree Dentastix to do the serious doggie dentistry!
The feeding chart on the back of the packet recommends feeding only one stick per day to your dog, whatever breed/weight he may be. But they are unsuitable for dogs under 7kg in weight meaning the tiny Yorkies and Chihuahuas will certainly have to go without, and perhaps even some of the smaller Terrier breeds too.
The treats come packaged in a fairly large bright blue and orange (for chicken flavour) or red (for beef flavour) foil packet, which has a resalable strip running a lot the top which can be resealed to keep the treats fresh and moist even after opening. On the front on the packet it clearly states the product name, and who they are made by as well as a large picture of the product. And on the reverse is all the usual bumph that all pet treats have (the ingredients, feeding chart, contact address ect).
*Price & Availability*
Bakers Dental Delicious are sold in 230g packets, which is 7 sticks and are available from most pet shops and the larger supermarkets for £1.59. Pets At Home often have Bakers treats on 3 for 2 offers so its worth taking full advantage of the deals and stocking up whilst you can.
*My opinion*
Admittedly I wouldn't buy the Bakers dry food if it was the last dog food in the world- horrible all colours of the rainbow junk packed with artificial nastiness but their range of treats had always gone down well with my lot and I noticed these for the first time at Crufts this year, whilst I was making good use of the 4 packets of treats for £4 offer on the Bakers stand. Buying treats for my gang is quite a simple task as my dustbin Benson will *anything* even if the girls won't so nothing goes to waste, knowing I wouldn't be loosing any money- I picked up a couple of packs of these. Back home, my three testers were eager to try out the new goodies- as per usual, Bensons treat was swallowed in about two bites without it even touching the sides, Grace was just as bad and even fuss pot Ruby finished hers without the usual ten minutes of sniffing it before even attempting to taste it, so Bakers are certainly doing something right. The two young ones both have very good teeth anyway, so hopefully these treats can do something to help keep them that way on the occasion they do have them, but with three dogs, and these treats costing over £1.50 a packet, they certainly won't be getting the recommended one a day treat. All of them enjoyed the treats, and Ruby who is a small dog, and quite old with some missing teeth, had to lay down and hold the treat in her paws, giving it a good chew- so at least they lasted her a fair amount of time, and as they are low in fat they are something she can enjoy without me having the guilt of giving her treats when she should be on a diet to loose her extra couple of pounds.
*Pro's & Con's*
+ A decent sized treat for most dogs
+ Helps keep teeth clean and white
+ Low fat
+ Packs last a week if you feed the one-a-day recommendation (if you have just the one dog)
- Bakers old favourite.. the mystery meat!! The ingredients state they contain at least 10% meat but doesn't say what. And the treats are only 'flavoured' with chicken or beef so it isn't that. I don't like to think what is really in these things!
- Expensive
- Not suitable for dogs less than 7kg weight
- They only help prevent plaque forming, they don't do much to shift what's already there
- Don't do anything to freshen breath, but they don't claim to I suppose

hahaha that is small world!
ditchsnake, here is the link to the prop testing that I did a while back:
Note this excerpt from that post, which sold me on the 1847 over the 1433:
"Which brings me to the little known 1847, which is the same diameter (14") and pitch (14.25") as the 1433 but has more cup (0.150" vs 0.105"). According to Jim at Acme, the additional cup has the effect of almost an inch of additional pitch on the top end with negligible loss of holeshot on the bottom end. And it turns fewer rpms than the 1433 at the same speed. "
Since you are operating at high altitude and running 1600# of ballast, I would go with the 1433 over the 1847, and would even consider the 1235. The downside to a bigger prop is obviously a slight loss in fuel economy and some mph on the top end. However, if you boat primarily on Cherry Creek or Chatfield (yes, I used to live in the Denver area), those are small reservoirs so you are not spending much time traveling from the dock to the riding spot so neither fuel economy or top end is much of a concern.
1847 and never look back, killer prop! And as cab noted, the extra cup helps a little bit with the top end.
Thanks cab, I always enjoy reading your posts. Since you lived in Denver you know cherry creek and chatfield suck. And they really don't like my stereo there. We hit pueblo about every weekend. Just costs a lot for gas. Drive sucks too.but its way more fun and far less boats. Even there it's only a mile from the dock to our boarding spot. Cab, thats the same thing Jim @acme told me. My max rpm is about 5000 empty. You think the 1847 will run short of that. Max rpm is 5200 on my boat. I wonder why the local dealer loves the OJ468 prop on my boat? Thanks
Hey ditch,
I'm in Denver, i usually ride cherry creek, cuz i am 5 minutes from there.
i have an ACME prop that i upgraded to from the OJ wakeboard prop, , i think it was 14x14.25, whatever, im not too good on the details. in fact, i am not even sure which ACME i have. i think it is the 1847? i don't remember, i get confused with all the numbers that don't mean much to me. ill be getting in the boat soon to do my winter stereo work, i can look at the prop then.
you are probably not riding in the winter now, but i may not be opposed to pulling mine prop and going for a ride with you for a demo, when the lake opens up.
but you may make the decision sooner and just buy the prop.
we are much happier with the ACME than the OJ, i dont really remember a top end difference, i can't hit 40 here, the hole shot seemed better when we are loaded. it is much quieter than the OJ.
I bought my boat new from RoMoBoCo in Pueblo and test drove/rode on Pueblo Res. Picked it up in Jan '07 and promptly towed it to Portland.
Yeah, the only time I went to Cherry Creek was after work, usually on a Monday or Tuesday. I would tow it to work then leave at 3:30 and headed straight for the res. I never went there on weekends. The boating scene here is so much better :)

Should Google merge Google Talk and Messenger into one app? [POLL]
December 23, 2011 | by Andrew Kameka
Google has products that allow people to communicate in a variety of formats. There's Google Talk for instant messaging on mobile or desktop, Google Messenger for communicating just within your Google+ circles, and Google Voice for sending SMS messages. Each app takes a different approach, but they all share one common goal – enable communication between users.
Should that shared goal mean that they also share an app?
Since Huddles became Messenger, I've seen several people on Google+ and Twitter complain about the lack of integration with Google Talk. In the eyes of a few people I follow, Google is making a mistake by enabling mobile-to-desktop communication with GTalk, but not doing the same for mobile-only Messenger. Wouldn't it make sense to unify the two experiences so users could just as easily chat with someone in Google Talk and Messenger without having to switch between apps or worry about where they communicated with someone. A unified inbox might simplify things for some users.
Then there's the opposition that would prefer to see these products remain separate. Google Talk is for my closest circle of co-workers and online friends. These are the people who I have given permission to shoot a message at any time and regularly chat. My Google+ circles are a different story. I'm not sure if I'd like to see all of the messages that I've been invited to through Google+ or have those same users appear when I just want to chat with the people on my GTalk list. I'm sure Google could come up with some kind of way to provide filtering and permissions to allay that concern, but it seems like more trouble than it's worth.
In the past week, I've seen two different reddit discussions in which people ask why Google doesn't just merge its two messaging clients into one app. In one of them, someone claims to have been in a Hangout with a Google+ Product Manager who said that Google will eventually replace Talk with Messenger and enable across the board communication on mobile and desktop. Take that with a giant grain of salt, but it's plausible that Google might do that.
The question is: would you welcome that change?

He was the captain of a Los Angles Class Sub and while he was asleep whomever was in command at the time ran into a Japanese ship due to the venturi effect (basically the sub got sucked into the ship as the ship passed over it) and my friend was relieved of command and shortly thereafter left the Navy. Keep in mind before he was a captain of the vessel he was the chief tactician for an admiral at the pentagon. He had a great reputation and knew the right people but in the end it just didn't matter. The commander is where the buck stops.

BERLIN- Stephen Decatur's varsity wrestling team remained unbeaten last weekend, cruising past visiting Queen Anne's, 60-9, to improve to 7-0 heading into a big non-conference dual meet this weekend.
The Seahawks lost just two of 14 matches against Queen Anne's at home last Friday and collected six pins along the way. Matt Meekins started the parade for Decatur with a technical fall win in the 112-pound match, while Cody Bush pinned his opponent at 119 to stake the Seahawks to an early 11-0 lead. Decatur went on to win the first eight matches to settle the issue once and for all.
In the 125-pound match, Alford Hardy won by decision, while Seth Goggin won by pin at 130. Nick McLoota won by pin at 135 to improve Decatur's lead to 27-0, followed by a win by decision by Andrew Borradaile at 140, a pin by Curtis Snyder at 145, and a technical fall win by Johnny Soghomonian at 150.
After a loss at 160 by Mike Baglieri, Brandon Terlizz won by decision for Decatur at 171. Mike Meekins, wrestling way up at 215 pounds, pinned his opponent to extend the Seahawk lead to 51-9. Nick Craven won by pin at 285, and Nate Rosenblatt won by decision at 103 to complete the 60-9 rout by the Seahawks.
With the win, the Seahawks carry some momentum into this week's Harford Tech Duals, featuring some of the top wrestling programs in the state. The meet takes place today and tomorrow in Harford County. The Seahawks are scheduled to face Rising Sun, Calvert Hall and John Carroll in preliminary matches today, with matches against Hereford, Curley, Harford Tech, DeMatha and John Carroll scheduled for Saturday.

This is quite different from the standard teaching that states that a bodhisattva does not regress after attaining the Path of Seeing (1st bhumi). To be able to regress even if one is one the higher bhumi's is stunning.A bodhisattva of a high degree of acumen does not regress after the first time he or she develops the supreme mind of awakening; a bodhisattva of average acumen does not regress after attainment of awakening's first stage; one of lesser acumen, at the eighth stage. These are the three points [after which bodhisattvas] no longer regress. One teaching even states that those of very low acumen [no longer regress after the attainment of ] awakening's ninth stage. These categories are based upon distinctions in capability.

The Government of Mozambique declared a Red Alert on the afternoon of 3 January 2008 following a meeting of the Council of Ministers in light of the current localised flooding in parts of the country due to heavy rainfall in Mozambique and in neighbouring Zimbabwe and Zambia. National disaster management authorities in Mozambique are evacuating river communities along the rivers in an effort to mitigate the impact of impending floods on these populations. It is estimated that so far 56,000 people in the low-lying districts around the Zambezi, Save, Buzi and Pungue rivers in the Provinces of Sofala, Tete and Zambezia are already affected. As the rains continue, it is likely that the number of people in need will dramatically increase within a very short period of time. The affected population will require assistance, including food and basic services in areas such as health, water, sanitation and hygiene, education and protection. In any disaster, including these floods, children suffer the most. Of the estimated affected population more than half are children who are most vulnerable to waterborne diseases such as diarrhoea, hunger and trauma in this poverty-stricken region and require urgent assistance in order to survive. Under the coordination of the IASC Humanitarian Country Team in Mozambique UNICEF and its partners, including sister UN agencies and international and national non-governmental organisations, are working closely with the Government of Mozambique to respond swiftly and effectively to the developing crisis. UNICEF is requesting an initial US$ 4,850,000 to meet the immediate and medium-term needs of children and women throughout the affected areas.
Immediate Needs Document - Mozambique Floods 07 Jan 2008 [pdf]
During the first months of 2007, Mozambique experienced two simultaneous natural disasters, the Zambezi River Basin Flood Emergency, which affected an estimated 285,000 people, and Cyclone Favio, which affected a further 133,670 people across the southern province of Inhambane. UNICEF Mozambique worked closely with the Government and other partners to meet the basic needs of over 107,000 flood-affected people sheltered in accommodation centres along the Zambezi River Basin, and supported over 35,000 people with shelter and access to restored basic services in the cyclone affected areas of Inhambane. UNICEF continues to support recovery and resettlement efforts underway in the flood and cyclone affected areas and supported the Government to develop a Resettlement Plan prioritising the provision of basic services in resettlement zones.
The experience and lessons learned from the 2007 flood and cyclone emergency highlight the need to continue enhancing the capacity of national disaster management authorities and line ministries to prepare for and respond to the natural disasters that Mozambique faces on a yearly basis. It also underscores the importance of strengthening coordination and partnerships within the Mozambique Humanitarian Country Team and the Humanitarian Clusters to better support the efforts of the Government of Mozambique in facing the challenges posed by natural disasters and the resulting chronic vulnerability in the country. The momentum generated by this year's emergencies is being harnessed to strengthen collaboration, coordination and partnerships between the Government and the Humanitarian Country Team for future emergency preparedness and disaster mitigation and response efforts.
Mozambique Humanitarian Action Update 15 Nov 2007 [pdf]
In recent years, Mozambique has made encouraging strides in reducing its crippling poverty levels and is making gradual progress towards benchmarks set by the national Action Plan for the Reduction of Absolute Poverty (PARPA) and the Millennium Development Goals (MDG). Nevertheless, Mozambique remains one of the least developed countries in the world, ranking 168 out of 177 countries on the 2005 Human Development Index, mainly due to the country's chronic state of vulnerability and humanitarian crisis.
The country is also vulnerable to natural disasters and was affected by severe floods and cyclone Favio at the beginning of this year. UNICEF immediately responded to the needs of affected children and their families, and employed over US $6.7 million in preparing and responding to the emergencies. UNICEF is requesting US$ 5.7 million for the remainder of the year (July-December 2007) to ensure appropriate emergency preparedness measures and immediate and effective support to national emergency response in the upcoming rainy season.
Mozambique Donor Update 3 Jul 2007 [pdf]
In the last few months, the "El Nino" phenomenon, blamed for severe flooding that affected much of the Horn in late 2006, has extended its impact across Southern Africa. Resultant flooding has coincided with the cyclone season (December-April) in which, thus far, Madagascar and Mozambique have been seriously affected while riverine communities in Zambia have experienced localized displacement. Significant damage to infrastructure has been assessed, especially in Mozambique including schools, health facilities, roads and food stores. Both the cyclone and rainy seasons are projected to extend into April, entailing further possible hardship for children and families in South-Eastern Africa.
An almost unprecedented number of countries in the region are now also reporting acute watery diarrhoea (AWD) or cholera cases, several of which have been in sustained crisis for many months. UNICEF offices in South-Eastern Africa are now responding to meet the acute humanitarian needs that both exacerbate chronic vulnerabilities and complicate efforts towards the broader progress on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
East and Southern Africa Donor Update 30 Mar 2007 [pdf]
The high level of rainfall in Mozambique, compounded by persistent heavy rains in neighbouring countries Zambia, Zimbabwe and Malawi, has led to high water levels in the Zambezi river and its tributaries, as well as in the Cahora Bassa Dam Reservoir. While discharges from the dam have been reduced as of 20 February, the threat of floods is still present. Furthermore, the arrival of Cyclone Favio is further seriously aggravating the situation.
As of 20 February, approximately 120,791 people are estimated to have been displaced due to the floods. UNICEF urgently requires funding to ensure displaced chidlren have access to basic services, learning opportunities and a protective environment in accommodation centres.

I was in the Navy and left active duty in 1998, then entering the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) for a minimum of three years in order to complete my eight year service obligation as an officer. While in IRR status, I didn't drill and the Navy didn't pay me, and that's the way it's supposed to be. (I did swear in several new sailors who had been recruited when the local reserve center couldn't locate one of their officers, and I enjoyed being able to help).
I assumed that when the three year IRR obligation ran out, I'd be out. Not so, it seems. I get yearly (maybe bi-annual) surveys asking about changes to my address, anything that would keep me from being deployed, etc. This, without having set foot on a base since 1998.
In 2002 I got a nice letter from Navy Personnel basically saying "get in or get out", and "if you want to get out, check here". I checked here, and sent it in. And kept getting update letters.
So, when I got an inducement flier from the local Reserve Recruiter, I got in contact with him, basically to ask about my IRR status, and he very nicely agreed to check into it.
He called me back the other day: I'm still in the IRR, in an "S2" status. Here's where I think they're padding: he said that 'if you were a pilot, or some other skill, you'd already have been separated from the IRR, but since you're a doctor, you're going to be on the rolls for a few more years unless you write them a letter and resign your commission'.
Now, it's up to the Navy to figure out their manning, and I'm not distressed about being in the IRR (still), but now I think I'm being used to pad the Navy's "Reserve Doctor" numbers. I wonder how many of the Navy's reservist docs are in the same boat?

EU guidelines on the promotion of compliance with international humanitarian law
The European Union presents the principles underlying its action to promote compliance with international humanitarian law.
Updated European Union Guidelines on promoting compliance with international humanitarian law (IHL) [Official Journal C 303 of 15.12.2009].
The European Union (EU) promotes compliance with international humanitarian law through its relations with the rest of the world.
The EU is founded on a set of values which it promotes in the context of its external relations (Article 3 of the Treaty on European Union). These include the principles of liberty, democracy, respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms and the rule of law.
These guidelines are addressed to public or non-State actors (non-governmental organisations, etc.) operating in the EU.
Reducing the effects of armed conflict
International humanitarian law is also known as the Law of Armed Conflict or the Law of War. It regulates the means and methods of warfare in order to reduce the impact of armed conflict. Compliance with these legal principles should make it possible to protect persons who are not, or are no longer, taking part in conflicts (such as civilians and prisoners of war).
International humanitarian law applies to:
- armed conflicts, whether they occur between countries or within a single country, and irrespective of the origin of the conflict. However, international armed conflicts and internal armed conflicts are subject to different legal regimes;
- occupations of territory linked to armed conflicts.
In addition, the international laws on human rights may apply both in times of peace and in times of war. They are complementary to international humanitarian law.
Operational guidelines
The EU is committed to the effective implementation of international humanitarian law. Firstly, the actors involved must gather detailed information on conflicts and draw up reports, assessments and recommendations for action. This concerns:
- European institutions, in particular Council Working Groups, cooperating with the international organisations concerned, including the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), the United Nations Organisation (UN) and the International Humanitarian Fact-Finding Commission (IHFFC).
- EU Heads of Mission and appropriate EU representatives (Heads of EU Civilian Operations, Commanders of EU Military Operations and EU Special Representatives). In particular, they should establish cases of serious violation of international humanitarian law;
- the Council Working Group on International Law (COJUR) and all relevant Council Working Groups.
The EU has several means of action at its disposal:
- political dialogue with non-EU States, both in the event of conflict and in time of peace;
- general public statements by which the EU takes a stand in favour of compliance with humanitarian law;
- demarches and public statements through which the EU condemns situations or particular acts;
- restrictive measures and sanctions which may be applied to States or individuals involved in a conflict. Such measures must be appropriate and in accordance with international law;
- cooperation with international bodies;
- crisis-management operations which may include missions to collect information useful for the International Criminal Court (ICC) or for investigations of war crimes;
- the prosecution of individuals responsible for violating international humanitarian law;
- the training and education of populations, military personnel and law enforcement officials;
- the control of arms sales, in accordance with Council Common Position 2008/944/CFSP which provides that export licences should be subject to compliance with human rights by countries importing arms.
Individual responsibility in the event of conflict
Certain serious violations of international humanitarian law are defined as war crimes. They may occur in the same circumstances as genocide or crimes against humanity. EU countries shall ensure that those responsible for war crimes are brought before their domestic courts, the courts of another State or the ICC.

At least two Russellville aldermen believe the company is using the offer of money to the city as a means of getting the zoning request for the property at West Main Street and Vancouver Avenue approved. And one of the councilmen went as far as to say Walmart is trying to bribe the city into passing the zoning ordinance.
Russellville City Council members are weighing a number of issues surrounding the requested Walmart Neighborhood Market zoning change. One financial issue is a $125,000 mitigation fee offered by Walmart to the city.
This fee is designed to be used for extenuating situations that may arise unforeseen by the proposed planned unit development (PUD) ordinance. Initially, the fee was intended for road or traffic signal construction, but the stipulations implies it can be designated for anything the city deems appropriate.
Alderman Seth Irwin told The Courier the mitigation fee was offered by Walmart, but it only came after the company retracted an offer to build an access road in the area of the project.
"They would have been responsible for maintaining the road," he said.
Walmart then changed its strategy, according to Irwin, because "the road was too much of a liability."
Irwin said he was concerned about the true nature of the fee offer, but was told by a Walmart representative the fee was not a public bribe.
Alderman Martin Irwin pointed out in stronger language that he believes the nation's largest retailer means for the $125,000 to be an improper influence.
"I am insulted that Walmart did not approach this openly ... don't hide it. A mitigation fee, large or small, will not fill any possible gaps long-term," he said. "Whoever negotiated that fee should resign."
Martin Irwin called the offer a bribe and said it isn't the right way to do business.
"I don't think it's right to lead with a mitigation fee — it presents improper influence. It is a bribe," he said. "Call it whatever you want to, it was proposed in such a manner that it seemed inappropriate. It happened just minutes before the City Council's Finance Committee meeting began last December. Walmart has steadfastly refused to install a reinforcement mechanism in the zoning proposal. The mitigation fee is simply a hook."
Walmart representative Stephen Giles told The Courier he understands there has been some confusion about the mitigation fee. He said many cities have ordinances that require a such a fee. In some instances, according to Giles, who is a former deputy city attorney and planning commission attorney for the city of Little Rock, it is referred to as an impact fee.
Giles said the Walmart does not build city streets, with the exception of roads within the parking lots, boundary streets or streets that need modification. These streets include those which end at, border upon or near the property.
Walmart does also not engage in right-of-way construction he said. The primary reason for this, said Giles, is for liability concerns.

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is pulling out all the stops in an effort to sway any undecided voters. With less than three weeks until the election, her campaign has announced a "Love Trumps Hate" initiative that will feature performances by rock and pop stars including Katy Perry, Jennifer Lopez and Bon Jovi.
Related: Katy Perry Gets Naked to Get Out the Vote
"The performance series will feature a number of artists performing in battleground states who will energize our supporters and encourage them to turn out to vote on Election Day or to take advantage of early voting options in their states," Clinton's team said in a press release.
Clinton used the phrase "love trumps hate" during the Democratic National Convention in July.
The announcement also explained that the performances will be used as recruiting opportunities to find new volunteers as the election draws closer.
"In the final weeks of the campaign, what voters will hear from these performers and all HFA surrogates is that Hillary Clinton has the experience and steadiness to bring people together and get real results," the statement said. "The choice in this election is clear. We can either come together to tackle the big challenges facing the country or let Donald Trump keep tearing us apart with his divisive rhetoric and dangerous ideas. That's why millions of people are coming together to support Hillary Clinton and send a clear message that 'love trumps hate.'"
According to the campaign scheduling site, Bon Jovi will perform in Pittsburgh on October 27 and Tampa on November 5, while Lopez will be in Miami on October 29.

Burning Babies Are Child's Play To Israel's
Ethnic Cleansers
Racial purists don't accept civilian slaughter as a necessity of war, they fiendishly embrace it as they pursue an "ethno-bomb"
Paul Joseph Watson/Prison Planet | July 25 2006
The megalomaniacs that control Israel wish to live in a world largely devoid of Muslims or Persians and they have embarked on a hundred year plus mission of ethnic cleansing to wipe them from the globe. The blitzkrieg of Lebanon is part of this process.
Race-specific bio-weapons have already been developed for this purpose.
From Wired News,
"Israel is reportedly developing
a biological weapon that would harm Arabs while leaving Jews unaffected,
according to a report in London's Sunday Times.
The report, citing Israeli military and western intelligence sources, says that scientists are trying to identify distinctive genes carried by Arabs to create a genetically modified bacterium or virus."
"The "ethno-bomb" program is based at Israel's Nes Tziyona research facility. Scientists are trying to use viruses and bacteria to alter DNA inside living cells and attack only those cells bearing Arabic genes."
Imagine if plans were unearthed detailing a program on behalf of Kim Jong-il or Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to create an ethno-bomb to wipe out Jews or caucasians. How would Israel and the United States react?
Only Israel is allowed to be nuclear-armed, violate dozens of UN treaties, use chemical weapons on civilians, and construct horrific policies of ethnic cleansing.
Israel have made a pact to carry out this agenda in league with the Neo-Cons, and above them the Globalists, whose desire is also world population reduction and complete full spectrum domination and control over all countries and near-Earth space itself.
All these facets are openly discussed by the elite in their own public documents.
The burned faces of Lebanese babies as they scream out in pain after another indiscriminate attack do not chill the souls of the Israeli doom merchants who's goal is no less than the ethnic cleansing of the majority of an entire race of people. The use of white phosphorous will seem like baby powder when Israel unleashes its arsenal of black death in the near future.
To fully realize this dark vision, the Globalists need to eradicate any rogue state that may become a focal point of organized opposition to the creation of a one world government led by racial purists acting under the guise of humanitarians and environmentalists. There will be no room for sovereign nations in the New World Order.
Hezbollah are no angels but compared to the relentless mesmerized brutality of the Israeli war machine, even the lapdog lamestream media has all but given up trying to portray this as a balanced affair.

CARSON, Calif. -- Landon Donovan has re-signed a new multi-year deal with the LA Galaxy, but don't look for him to pursue any offseason loans in the future.
Donovan has gone on loans in the past to Bayern Munich during the 2008-09 season as well as a pair of loans to Everton in 2010 and 2012, but the U.S. international admitted after his contract announcement press conference that he's unlikely to go on loan again.
"It's not really something that I'm interested in," said Donovan. "I want to be here and I don't have a real desire to go try anything or do anything. They've committed to me and I want to commit to this team too."
In a teleconference call with reporters, Donovan was asked about his former Everton head coach David Moyes who is now the head man at Manchester United. Rumors have swirled that Donovan would be on Moyes' shortlist at United, but when asked about any conversations that he's had if with the Scottish head coach, Donovan didn't go into specifics, but dropped a hint.
"I'm not going to comment on specific conversations I may have had with David in the past," said Donovan. "But…we'll say I had talks with some very high profile teams in England, how's that?"
Thoughts on Donovan's comments?

The nonprofit organization was formed in 2007 in Pulaski County by Mary Carol Pederson. The group's model is now being applied to counties across the state.
"We started looking and planning three years ago," Michael Escue, who helped start the CALL in Pope County and acts as church representative coordinator, said. "Ours has been a slow process, but we have more assets to start than other locations started with. We are expecting it to be very successful."
The group will kick off its Pope County mission Sept. 4 with an informational lunch for families interested in fostering children. They sent nearly 60 invitations to local pastors, the five mayors in Pope County and the Department of Children and Family Services.
Escue said his oldest son Samuel, who is now 14, encouraged him to get involved around five years ago.
Escue, Samuel and Samuel's two younger brothers flew to North Dakota when Samuel was 9 to hear Dennis Rainey, Escue's father-in-law, speak at a music festival. Rainey talked about orphans and foster care at the event.
"Samuel told me, 'We've got to do something,'" Escue said.
The CALL's goal is to have loving, Christian homes ready and waiting to take in children who need a home.
In order to reach that goal, the CALL needs the community's help. Its mission, as stated on the launch invitation, is to "recruit, educate, equip and encourage the Christian community to provide a future and a hope for Pope County children in the foster care system."
"There are counties where the CALL has emptied out the foster system," Escue said. He explained "emptying out" the system means there are foster families waiting for children rather than children waiting on foster homes to open.
Escue said the group offers volunteer opportunities other than fostering.
"We are trying to recruit people to help support the foster families as well," he said.
Volunteers can babysit so parents wanting to foster can attend training, he said. The CALL also accepts monetary donations.
For more information or to make a donation to the CALL, visit www.thecallinarkansas.org.
2012 annual report
• The CALL conducted 159 informational meetings attended by 1,194 people.
• The CALL trained 495 families in fostering.
• The CALL opened 229 new foster families.
• The CALL opened 85 new adoptive families.
• The CALL families finalized 47 adoptions with 202 still in process at the end of the year.

As the title says... I need a good pair of full sized closed-back cans for working out at the gym. I have tried ear buds and I HATE them. Both my Sennheisers are open air, so I can't use them at the volumes I like without being rude. I will be listening with my 5.5 gen Ipod or my Blackberry (depends on what's on me when I go), so I need low impedance. Budget, I'd say $150 tops.
Fire away!

Remark about sister set off Zidane at World Cup
Italy defender Marco Materazzi has revealed the content of the verbal exchange he had with Zinedine Zidane which led to the infamous head butt that sent the French star off in July's World Cup final.
Materazzi said it was a mention of Zidane's sister which prompted the head butt from the French midfielder that left France down to 10 men before its defeat on penalty kicks.
"I did not provoke him, I responded verbally to a provocation," Materazzi told the daily Gazzetta dello Sport on Tuesday.
"We both spoke and I wasn't the first. I held his shirt but don't you think it is a provocation to say that 'if you want my shirt I will give it you afterwards'?
"I replied to Zidane that I would prefer his sister, that is true. I brought up his sister and that wasn't a nice thing, that is true," said Materazzi.
"Thankfully there are tens of footballers who could confirm that much worse things are said on the field," added the Inter Milan defender.
France hosts Italy in a European Championship qualifier on Wednesday but neither Zidane nor Materazzi will play.
Zidane, who has retired as a player, was fined $6,014 and handed a three-match ban by FIFA's five-man disciplinary committee following the July 9 final.
As he is no longer a player, he offered to undertake three days of community service on FIFA's behalf as part of their humanitarian activities, which the committee accepted.
Materazzi was handed a two-match ban and fined $4,010. His sentence was fiercely criticized in Italy.
The Italy defender said that while he had told FIFA he was willing to make a gesture of reconciliation with Zidane, he was not going to apologize.
"He has not apologized to me and I certainly don't have to apologize to him. If anything, I owe apologies to his sister, although I swear, before all this mess I didn't even know Zidane had a sister," he said.
Materazzi said that he thought the two could put the incident behind them.
"If peace can be made after terrible wars can Zidane and I not make peace? A peace between men, without much publicity, certainly yes.
"The door of my house will always be open to him and if he wants, Zidane knows how to find out my address," said Materazzi.

I think the comment was funny and the headbutt was well-deserved. I can't blame either of them.

Wow this saga really has it all doesn't it? From nipple tweeking to name calling to sexual relations with sisters and mothers and throw in the odd terrorist, its got more than the average hollywood blockbuster!
The re-match should be good, Zidane isn't playing anymore though
that's europe for you. in the states, the closest thing we ever get to that is if a batter gets buzzed high and tight, the benches clear, and someone gets shoved a little bit.Originally Posted by ragnarok14
They have several players out because of injury, suspension and being out of shape. Plus they didn't look that good in the tie against Lithuania at home. It'll be interesting to see how Donadoni handles his first big match...Originally Posted by pauliec

Cheers mate, we lost another huge aussie icon just today as well, peter brock, big car racer here in australia back in the 70's - 80's ish, was participating in a targa rally when he smashed into a tree... Bad week to be an aussie icon.
this is getting ridiculous... looks like a planned reconcile between Materazzi and Zidane is in the works... how cute:
Marco Materazzi thought it would be nice if Zinedine Zidane dropped by his house and said he was sorry over a few cappuccinos.
Heck, if Zidane wanted, he could probably even bring his sister along.
What better way to put aside all the hard feelings over their little confrontation on the soccer field than a cozy tete-a-tete?
"A peace among men, without a lot of publicity," Materazzi said last week. "The door to my house will always be open for that. And if Zidane wants, he knows where to find my address."
That would likely be in Italy, which at last glance isn't all that far from France. Zidane could take the train down, enjoy a good meal, and make a day of it.
If only it were that easy. Apparently the most famous head butt in the history of sport calls for a more formal reconciliation.
File this one under silly ideas taken way too far:
Soccer king Sepp Blatter is working on a plan for the two to get together and resolve their differences in South Africa, where the 2010 World Cup is scheduled to take place. Actually, the meeting would be off the coast of South Africa on Robben Island.
If you haven't heard of Robben Island, it's never been known as a place for jolly get togethers. For the better part of four centuries, it served as a prison for political troublemakers and social outcasts of South African society.
Its most famous inmate was Nelson Mandela, who spent more than 20 years locked up in a tiny cell in the island's prison, which is now a museum.
The perfect place, it seems, for two soccer players to shake hands and maybe even exchange a hug or two.
"We are working on bringing together Zidane and Materazzi and to bring to end this story," Blatter said Monday.
That end also would be a beginning of sorts for the 2010 World Cup, which will be the first ever held in Africa. It also would serve as a thank you to the South African Parliament, which last month approved some $2 billion in spending for what is billed as the biggest sporting event in the world.
There were suggestions - denied by Blatter and others - during this summer's World Cup that FIFA was looking to move the 2010 event because of fears South Africa would not be ready. An appearance by the two famous combatants from this year's final would certainly be a morale booster for organizers.
Still, it seems like a strange spot to hold a reconciliation. The British tabloids are already having a field day with the idea, with one suggesting that Mandela serve as a referee.
"Blatter dreams of Zidane-Materazzi love island," screamed one headline.
Actually, there are a lot of reasons to continue to milk the head butt that got Zidane tossed out of the final, which Italy won on penalty kicks. Because even Americans who would rather watch the WNBA than a soccer match were captivated by the endless video replays of Zidane putting his head down and ramming into Materazzi's chest.
Anyone with an e-mail account who didn't get at least five different funny takeouts on the head butt needs to get out more. They may not know who Pele is, but they can tell you in great detail how that crazy Frenchman knocked the Italian flat with one well-placed head butt.
Materazzi finally came clean last week and revealed to a breathless world just what it was he said that provoked Zidane into attacking him. Seems Materazzi was grabbing Zidane's jersey and the French star told him:
"If you want my shirt, I will give it to you afterwards."
"I responded that I preferred his sister, it's true," Materazzi said.
As trash talking goes, it hardly approached NBA or NFL levels, where not only are sisters in play, but mothers too.
The French, however, take these kind of things a bit more seriously.
It may have cost them the World Cup, but 61 percent of the French in a recent poll said they forgave Zidane for his behavior. If anything, he is more of a national hero than before for being man enough to defend his family's honor.
At a European Championship qualifier in France last week, fans brought life-sized effigies of Zidane and chanted his name even though he was not on the field as France beat Italy in the rematch of the World Cup final.
If the two meet in South Africa, don't expect a lot of apologizing. Zidane's place in French history is secure without telling anyone he is sorry.
Materazzi, meanwhile, says he has nothing to apologize about. His trash talk was just that - trash talk.
"If anything, I owe apologies to his sister, although I swear, before all this mess, I didn't even know Zidane had a sister."

This weeks Fire Friday Mix goes to the QUEEN of Miami Dubstep, Gooddroid.
She is the first to play Dubstep in Miami and begin the revolution of bass.
The amount of work that she puts into this scene is unheard of.
Many other players have entered the game from different roots but in the end this woman is the first one who dropped the deep dubstep sound. It's an honor to be a partner of hers and call her one of my best friends. I'm going to say this right now and have no problem saying it… She deserves to be called the Queen, not a princess. You have no idea who she is if you call her a princess.
You can catch her spinning at almost every commercial dubstep event or at her bi-weekly events, Friction & DOWN. She is a maverick at what she does. She'll drop the filthiest brostep grime at Friction or Get Low and then the next night drop serious minimal 2 step garage dubstep at DOWN. Hell you can even catch her playing hip-hop and tribal house all over the beach if you want. She has no limits.
If you ever get the chance to meet her thank her for everything she has done for the Miami Dubstep scene and what she continues to do. Now go check out one of her most recent mixes.

The repository is encrypted using GPG's multi-recipient support, which allows each member of the group to use their own unique password. A typical use case would be to securely store sensitive information, such as password lists or account information, that is shared by a team.

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas, the state's largest health insurer has agreed to serve a second time as a three-year sponsor for the City of Richardson's Corporate Challenge, which is a first in the competition's history to have such support by a corporate partner. The announcement was made during this evening's closing ceremony event at the Richardson Civic Center.
With its state headquarters located in Richardson, Blue Cross Blue Shield has been an integral member of the community, and the Corporate Challenge for many years.
"We are proud of our eight years of participation in the City of Richardson's Corporate Challenge," says Dr. Allan Chernov, a medical director with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas and Challenge company coordinator. "This is a wonderful event that motivates our employees to be physically active while raising money for a great cause, Special Olympics Texas. We really get pumped up every year for our friendly competition with other companies. Also, we are very excited about making a commitment for another three years as the Corporate Challenge Title Sponsor."
Now in its 16th year, the Corporate Challenge is a 10-week, Olympic-style corporate competition with more than 10,000 employees from companies around the Dallas/Fort Worth area, who take part in athletic and non-athletic events to raise funds in support of Special Olympics Texas and its local affiliate, the Richardson Roadrunners – the event's beneficiary since its inception.
The Corporate Challenge is produced by the Richardson Parks & Recreation Department. A managing board, made up of a select group of company representatives and City employees, developed the policies and procedures that rule and govern the events.
"We're extremely thrilled that Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas has committed to sponsor the Corporate Challenge for the next three years," said Richardson Mayor Laura Maczka. "It is because of companies like theirs, and many others, who have dedicated countless time and resources, that the Corporate Challenge has become so successful over the years."
The Corporate Challenge is the only one of its kind in Texas, and is believed to be one of the three largest multi-day Corporate Challenge events in the U.S. It is celebrated and enjoyed for its ability to not only bring various companies together for friendly competitions, but to also build a community that promotes the spirit of giving.

Baldelli, 21, batted .364 with 13 runs, nine doubles, two triples, one home run, 20 RBIs and two stolen bases in 27 games, leading all AL rookies in 12 offensive categories and all Major League rookies in nine. The Cumberland, Rhode Island native posted 13 multi-hit games, trailing only AL Pepsi Player of the Month Alfonso Soriano's 16 among AL players, and collected an AL rookie-best three outfield assists. Baldelli began his Major League career by opening up the 2003 season with a 13-game hitting streak, and compiled another 10-game hitting streak in April.
The sixth overall pick in the 2000 June draft hit safely in 24 of the 26 games in which he batted and, with his 40 hits through April, eclipsed the record set by Seattle's Ichiro Suzuki in April 2001. His .364 average is the highest by an AL rookie through April since Kansas City's Kevin Seitzer hit .382 in 1987. Baldelli's .500 average with runners in scoring position led all AL players, and he collected the game-winning RBI in three games in which the Devil Rays came from behind by three or more runs. Baldelli capped his outstanding month with two hits, including his first career home run, and five RBI in an 8-5 loss at Minnesota on April 30.
Other outstanding rookies who received consideration were Cleveland's Ricardo Rodriguez (2-2, 3.32); Kansas City's Angel Berroa (12 R, .280, 2 HR, 9 RBI), D.J. Carrasco (1-1, 3.65), Ken Harvey (3 HR, 13 RBI), and Mike MacDougal (1-2, 3.55, 10 saves); Hideki Matsui (2 HR, ML rookie-high 22 RBI) of the New York Yankees; Devil Rays reliever Lance Carter (3-1, 3.45, 5 saves); and Texas pitchers R.A. Dickey (2-1, 3.09) and Colby Lewis (3-1, 4.45).
Baldelli will receive a specially designed trophy as the American League Pepsi Rookie of the Month.

Discussion in 'Junior League & Tournament Talk' started by yonexman001, Apr 12, 2008.
hahah dude that isnt AJ or Spizman. You know who i am right?
dude come one. Southwest is pretty bad. Top 25 for adidas sponsorship??? We have a couple good 12 year olds and a decent fourteens. Sixteens is pretty competetive but is somewhat of a joke nationally. Same with Eighteens except for a couple players
Let's not say "pretty bad". It's a matter of numbers. Those sections that have more depth are that way because they have more players. The southwest is one of the smaller sections. Fewer players = less depth. Fewer really good quality coaches, because they tend to be where the population is higher (notable exceptions, of course...I'm speaking generally).
We have some really good players. We have less players overall, so there's a lack of depth. SoCal probably has 10 times more players, thus they have somewhere around 10 times the depth.
exactly. Southern Section was so intense. They had about 150+ people per state and there were 9 states. Tennis is really big down there. It was hard just to get inside top 50 in the stae. There arent even state rankings here.
Its like that in California and Florida as well.. In the southern section, its just unbelievable how many kids there are though.
I Just got offered a deal with Prince....... might accept.
Whats the deal and what is you ranking /age group / country ?
i heard that if u accept the packages then they will give u a full faster then if u just start out with a full??...
It's 3 raquets, a bag, reel of Synthetic Gut, hat, and a couple t-shirts, wristbands and socks for $380.
I just turned 13 so my Florida sectional ranking is only like 95, but my sectional ranking in 12's was 50 and I was ranked in the 400's nationally.
Anyone know the deal with head.....the team elite thing?
I looked at the sign up thing but it says to post your nat. rankings from 2006......do they have another place to sign up....anyone partially sponsored by them?
you can just sign up there, for HEAD team elite, the form is old but they still accept them,, just put your current ranking, or simply wait for them to contact you and leave the ranking spot blank. I got a full but i waited to long so they switched me to a good partial
ok so im just gonna fill it out with my current rankings....what does current nat. section mean tho?
Can I please ask what your age , ranking , country was when they offered you full ?
I was about 13 turning 14, i was ranked some were between 15 and 5 in the Bahamas. I also got it because one of the reps saw me play/hit
was it a big tourny where he saw u hit? if so which one?
no it wasnt at a big tourney- i think it was because i was with Timothy Neilly(orange bowl winner vs. donald young) and i was checking out Tarik Benhabillis' academy.
oo it could have been an ITF training camp
im just wondering, if im ranked high enough on Long Island do you believe i could get any sponsor?
not any....
Whats your rank? And in what age division?
also whats your past rankings?what big tournaments have you played good in...
ok i was 12 on li last yar (my first year) shouldi wait another year to get my rankingup then ask. also i really didnt play in any huge tournys so that hurst. thanks for your help in advance
how long does it take for a company to e-mail back? i sent tecnifibre one on weds.
Tecnifibre got back to me in less than a week .
But this is Easter and thery may have holidays
cool, thanks. just making sure i sent it to the right e-mail
if u are going for a big company then yes try smaller ones right now and see if they offer....
i just got offered a deal from avery...
it was
2 racket
6pac bag
2 shirts
2 hats
and 2 sets of string
for 279....
should i take it?
Do you like their racquets?
whats avery's email?
i dont know but i think i decided against it... becuz i dont know about their rackets and its only 2 and not 3....:-?
email@example.com i think
im sorry if this has been asked but what is your rank scraps. also des volkl pokennex donnay gamma or kneissl provide sponsorships.if they do what do you have to be. lastly do technifibre and dunlop really take rankings seriously?
Why do you need a sponsor so badly? I know that you are a junior and you want to go pro, but your rankings aren't great right now, so why don't you improve them and have the sponsors asking you if you want them?
EDIT: I'm not trying to be mean!!!
i know your not trying to be mean but i dont want one now really im just seeing what i might be able to get if i keep playing well. also tennis is getting harder to afford so soe discounts are not that bad right?
sorry i forgot to answer ur question about my ranking... well it goes up and down alot...sectional maybe between 50-15 depending on how i do in big tournaments
anyone have anything about elleese?
nothing about ellesse but if i ask tecnifibre and say no now but later want the deal will they remember and be mad. also if anyone has any other racket companies emails it would be greatly appreciated
they might but u nvr know
babolat Sponsorship
Please, let mo know the site for the sponsorships from Babolat.
Thank you
are these the right emails for tecnifbre? I used paul @ tecnifibreusa and i used the promotion one.
does anyone know about donnay, volkl o kneissl hve sponsorships? also if possible can people please give me email adresses to some clothing companies for decently ranked player?
Do you think Fila will accept me if I am around 145 in my section?
nope. top 50.
wut would long island be considered in terms of sectional or regional? also wut r the emails for techifibre and dunlop if anyone knows them?
it is easy to get dunlop for me but idk about tecnifibre... with dunlop, all you have to do is go to the opper bowl and they will offer u it... also so will new balance
i am also looking into donnay or kneissl...i tried volkl and i loved but my rep ran out and signed with head =( also t111 that is the right email i think
so which email for tecnifibre should i use i only used the promotion one also scraps i dont play any big tournmanets so dunlop cant really see me and also wut is the email for volkl or dunlop?
no email for either volkl or dunlop but if the sponsor a tournament talk to the rep there... and that tecnifibre email was correct i think
Is 200 in the nation for Prince a full sponsorship or a partial? What rank do you have to be to get a partial deal with Prince?
200 is partial im pretty sure...
Separate names with a comma.
