Shalom, all.
The new year 2011 is already more than 24 hours old here in the fair Melayu Islamic Republic. Events in 2011, unfortunately, seem decidedly 'old year' with an Islamic-inspired church bombing in Egypt. The new year looks a lot like the old year, but what else could we expect?
On television here in Malaysia today there was a programme I saw with a brief scene involving a phone call between an American character and an Israeli one. The dialog certainly involved nothing objectionable--the characters were discussing their wishes for the future and expressing their hopes for a peaceful world. And the scene wasn't long--maybe two to three minutes at most. But I discovered another thing that the Malaysian Guardians of Morality (i.e. the Muslim censors) do not want people to hear or see, besides the usual and profanity, violence, or nudity.
What horrible word did they remove from this conversation? It was the word "shalom", repeatedly and consistently removed, in that brief scene on television. I could read the lips of the actors, and considering the context, there was no doubt that this was the 'offensive' word in question.
So, what is so terrible about the word "shalom" that the Malaysian authorities don't want us to hear it? "Shalom" has multiple meanings, such as 'peace' and 'hello' and 'goodbye', and is used in the same way and meaning as the Arabic word "salaam". What could be so terribly offensive about any of those meanings? The only conceivable reason why the Right Honorable Islamic Censors would want to omit this word from a TV show is solely because it is a Hebrew word. Hebrew must be a language that the anti Semitic, Jew-hating Malaysian government wants to erase from our collective memories. There can be no other explanation. This thought is almost as disturbing as the carnage freshly wrought by the Islamic bomber(s) in Egypt. I am against censorship in general, but this degree of censorship is particularly appalling. We cannot and must not let these people have their way.
So let us always remember the word 'shalom' and especially remember the meaning of this word, for our world so desperately needs it. Let's all use the Hebrew words that the Malaysian government so desperately does not want the world to hear.
Shalom and Shana Tova -- peace to all and a happy new year.

Not only "shalom" but a whole host of other Hebrew words we should not forget to use in the hearing of the puppet masters of al-islam. You can find them at my new Tehillim (Hebrew Psalms) blog.
I pray the psalms in English and in the original Hebrew daily, and in learning the Hebrew original, I have found them very powerful expressions of God's mercy and man's faith.
My Tehillim blog is trailing behind the English version that I am making available on line, but eventually all the psalms will be on line in both languages. You can switch back and forth between Hebrew and English by a link at the top of each psalm
Oh, by the way, each Hebrew psalm also has a "Listen" link, which is an audio file of a rabbi in Israel reading the psalm.
Best wishes for the new year!
Shana tova!

Simple Tips For Salvaging Super-Damaged Hair
By Soap Blogger
There will always be those who appear to be blessed with the kind of hair 99% of the population would kill for. But while supremely gorgeous hair comes naturally to the lucky few, the vast majority have to work for it…or at least put up a pretty strong and constant fight, anyway.
It's surprisingly easy for even once-healthy hair to fall into what appears to be a state of disrepair. After all, it's no secret that the various toils of everyday life do little for our health both inside and out. Still, in the plus side it's also true to say that no matter what kind of state your hair's health is in, there are always avenues to explore when it comes to once again making it glow with radiance.
Here's a quick look at five examples guaranteed to make a difference:
1 - Gentler Styling
First of all, if you're in the habit of using a small arsenal of corrosive styling products and red-hot styling tools at least once every day…well, you can probably work out why your hair is screaming for mercy! Styling in pretty much all of its forms goes totally against nature as far as the health of your hair is concerned, which is why if you do insist on styling your hair, you should be gentle with it. Turn down the heat, choose gentle styling products and perhaps opt for a style that doesn't take a great deal of forcing to accomplish.
2 - Fewer Washes
It's a common mistake and one that's often hard to get your head around at first, but the key to healthier hair could in fact be to wash it a little less often. Leave your hair for a couple of days at least before washing and you'll see an immediate difference. Why? Well, quite simply because this will give it time to re-build and repair itself with all those lovely natural oils you'd be otherwise stripping it off. Your hair needs time to itself to stay healthy, so be sure to give it at least a bit!
3 - Quality Products
In terms of hair washing, conditioning and general maintenance, try making the switch to a range of 100% organic products for a week or two. Designed to offer a thorough cleansing effect while at the same time deeply nourishing from root to tip, this is again one small change that can build an immediate and lasting difference.
4 - General Health
Poor hair health can often be a sign of poor physical health in general. That's not to say that everyone with troublesome hair is in any way sick, but at the same time, it's a good idea to have a think about your overall health and perhaps speak to a professional if you're worried.
5 - Hydration
Last but not least, there isn't a single bit or piece of your body that can function properly without sufficient water – your hair being no exception to the rule. Any kind of lack of proper hydration for the body in general is 100% guaranteed to result in hair that appears dull, lifeless and potentially brittle to boot. So ask yourself – are you sure you're drinking enough water every day?

Dr. Nancy Hardt
The most important thing I didn't learn in medical school is about adverse childhood experiences, also known as ACEs.
To be sure, if I had understood them then the way I do now, I would have been a better and more compassionate physician. Importantly, I would have avoided lots of mistakes.
What kind of mistakes, you ask?
I was pretty much a failure taking care of smokers, drinkers, drug addicts, and morbidly obese people. People who were chronically depressed or in chronic pain were not helped by me either.
I never understood that addictions to food, drugs, alcohol, and cigarettes, are imperfect solutions to the effects of toxic stress resulting from adverse childhood experiences. Toxic stress sets up pathways in the brains of traumatized children, pathways which persist into adulthood. We don't outgrow these pathways, so as we get older, we try "home remedies" to treat…

HENRY DAVID THOREAU (1817-1862), American recluse, naturalist and writer, was born at Concord, Massachusetts, on the 12th of July 1817. To Thoreau this Concord country contained all of beauty and even grandeur that was necessary to the worshipper of nature: he once journeyed to Canada; he went west on one occasion; he sailed and explored a few rivers; for the rest, he haunted Concord and its neighbourhood as faithfully as the stork does its ancestral nest. John Thoreau, his father, who married the daughter of a New England clergyman, was the son of a John Thoreau of the isle of Jersey, who, in Boston, married a Scottish lady of the name of Burns. This last-named John was the son of Philippe Thoreau and his wife Marie le Gallais, persons of pure French blood, settled at St Helier, in Jersey. From his New England Puritan mother, from his Scottish grandmother, from his Jersey-American grandfather and from his remoter French ancestry Thoreau inherited distinctive traits: the Saxon element perhaps predominated, but the " hauntings of Celtism " were prevalent and potent. The stock of the Thoreaus was a robust one; and in Concord the family, though never wealthy nor officially influential, was ever held in peculiar respect. As a boy, Henry drove his mother's cow to the pastures, and thus early became enamoured of certain aspects of nature and of certain delights of solitude. At school and at Harvard University he in nowise distinguished himself, though he was an intelligently receptive student; he became, however, proficient enough in Greek, Latin, and the more general acquirements to enable him to act for a time as a master. But long before this he had become apprenticed to the learning of nature in preference to that of man: when only twelve years of age he had made collections for Agassiz, who had then just arrived in America, and already the meadows and the hedges and the stream-sides had become cabinets of rare knowledge to him. On the desertion of schoolmastering as a profession, Thoreau became a lecturer and author, though it was the labour of his hands which mainly supported him through many years of his life: professionally he was a surveyor. In the effort to reduce the practice of economy to a fine art he arrived at the conviction that the less labour a man did, over and above the positive demands of necessity, the better for him and for the community at large; he would have had the order of the week reversed - six days of rest for one of labour. It was in 1845 he made the now famous experiment of Walden. Desirous of proving to himself and others that man could be as independent of this kind as the nest-building bird, Thoreau retired to a hut of his own construction on the pine-slope over against the shores of Walden Pond - a but which he built, furnished and kept in order entirely by the labour of his own hands. During the two years of his residence in Walden woods he lived by the exercise of a little surveying, a little job-work and the tillage of a few acres of ground which produced him his beans and potatoes. His absolute independence was as little gained as if he had camped out in Hyde Park; relatively he lived the life of a recluse. He read considerably, wrote abundantly, thought actively if not widely, and came to know beasts, birds and fishes with an intimacy more extraordinary than was the case with St Francis of Assisi. Birds came at his call, and forgot their hereditary fear of man; beasts lipped and caressed him; the very fish in lake and stream would glide, unfearful, between his hands. This exquisite familiarity with bird and beast would make us love the memory of Thoreau if his egotism were triply as arrogant, if his often meaningless paradoxes were even more absurd, if his sympathies were even less humanitarian than we know them to have been. His Walden, the record of this fascinating two years' experience,. must always remain a production of great interest and considerable psychological value. Some years before Thoreau took to Walden woods he made the chief friendship of his life, that with Emerson. He became one of the famous circle of the transcendentalists, always keenly preserving his own individuality amongst such more or less potent natures as Emerson, Hawthorne and Margaret Fuller. From Emerson he gained more than from any man, alive or dead; and, though the older philosopher both enjoyed and learned from the association with the younger, it cannot be said that the gain was equal. There was nothing electrical in Thoreau's intercourse with his fellow men; he gave off no spiritual sparks. He absorbed intensely, but when called upon to illuminate in turn was found wanting. It is with a sense of relief that we read of his having really been stirred into active enthusiasm anent the wrongs done the ill-fated John Brown. With children he was affectionate and gentle, with old people and strangers considerate. In a word, he loved his kind as animals, but did not seem to find them as interesting as those furred and feathered. In 1847 Thoreau left Walden Lake abruptly, and for a time occupied himself with lead-pencil making, the parental trade. He never married, thus further fulfilling his policy of what one of his essayist-biographers has termed "indulgence in fine renouncements." At the comparatively early age of forty-five he died, on the 6th of May 1862. His grave is in the Sleepy Hollow cemetery at Concord, beside those of Hawthorne and Emerson.
Thoreau's fame will rest on Walden; or, Life in the Woods (Boston, 1854) and the Excursions (Boston, 1863), though he wrote nothing which is not deserving of notice. Up till his thirtieth year he dabbled in verse, but he had little ear for metrical music, and he lacked the spiritual impulsiveness of the true poet. His weakness as a philosopher is his tendency to base the laws of the universe on the experience-born, thought-produced convictions of one man - himself. His weakness as a writer is the too frequent striving after antithesis and paradox. If he had had all his own originality without the itch of appearing original, he would have made his fascination irresistible. As it is, Thoreau holds a unique place. He was a naturalist, but absolutely devoid of the pedantry of science; a keen observer, but no retailer of disjointed facts. He thus holds sway over two domains: he had the adherence of the lovers of fact and of the children of fancy. He must always be read, whether lovingly or interestedly, for he has all the variable charm, the strange saturninity, the contradictions, austerities and delightful surprises, of Nature herself.
After Thoreau's death were also published: The Maine Woods (Boston, 1863); Cape Cod (Boston, 1865); A Yankee in Canada (Boston, 1866). In the Atlantic Monthly, in 1862, appeared " Walking," " Autumn Tints " and " Wild_Apples "; in 1863, " Night and Moonlight." The standard editions of his works are The Writings of Henry David Thoreau, Riverside edition (II vols., Boston, 18 941895), and Manuscript edition (12 vols., ibid., 1907).

There are times when you see certain pros skate in real life, and immediately reevaluate any under-appreciation you may have built towards their skating through videos. There are other times when you see a spot that the said pro has skated, and do the same. Seeing Penny push around doing kickflips in real life is probably amazing, but having never seen that, visiting the Copenhagen Wonderland Bowl that he skates in nearly all of his footage might have been enough.
Despite everyone insisting that "Yes, that is the same extension he 360 flipped in the éS ad," you'd still be reluctant to believe it after seeing it. That thing is a wall.
It's funny how the phrase "You'll understand when you're older" also applies to skate videos. Menik Mati was the biggest blockbuster video of its time, and maybe the first $30+ skate video. (Blades was the only place well-stocked with copies that winter, and pretty sure they were ~$35 after tax. It was absurd.) Kids were hyped on literally everything except Penny's part, which for many of us, was the first time we were seeing him skate: "Who is this dude that everyone kept talking about? He can only do five tricks and didn't even film a new part."
Now, with over a decade of hindsight, Menik Mati aged worse than many of its contemporaries. Sight Unseen, Yeah Right and Chomp are all classics, but the éS video looks like a playbook of overwrought 2000s blockbuster video indulgences. (Except jump cutting, got to give it credit for avoiding that.) Arto would one up himself a year later with the best part of his career, Rodrigo is still getting better at skating in 2014, Burnquist is grinding helicopters, and Koston's Menik Mati part — as groundbreaking as it was — is his only, like, not "fun" part, ever. (Creager's part is still pretty cool TBH. Frontside noseslides on regular ledges!)

Quick interview: Olivier Delaporte
A quick Q&A with Olivier Delaporte, who finished second at Rallye Le Touquet Pas de Calais for his maiden outing in the Clio R3T Trophy France.
How did you arrive in the Clio R3T Trophy France?
This winter I bought Dorian Launay's car and rebuilt it completely. My interest in the Trophy was sparked when I was looking through a magazine on the plane. With the prize money and the bonuses it's a really attractive proposition for a driver like me. It also gave me the opportunity to do the French Championship while scoring points towards the French Cup. The final will take place near where I live in Chalon-sur-Saône.
Was second place in Le Touquet a pleasant surprise?
Let's just say that I didn't expect to be in the mix so quickly on a surface like this one. Last year I was racing a Mitsubishi Lancer and you don't drive the Clio R3T in the same way. When I saw that I was firmly installed in second place I kept a cool head and I really controlled things on Saturday. It'll be different in the "Charbo" on a surface on which I feel more at home. It's possible that I'll be in contention for victory there. But it won't be easy as Florian Bernardi is driving very well. Cedric Robert warned me about him!
How did things go in the first round in the context of the Trophy?
There's a really good ambience thanks to Renault Sport's welcome, the technical support from their engineers and the shop for spare parts on the spot. It's a very good idea as you don't have to bring a lot of equipment. As I look after the mechanical side myself, I'm delighted with the car's reliability.

Together, they'll share stories about the writing life, inspiring each other, and their compelling characters. This event will be hosted Kylie Ladd.
Ticket includes two courses (BYO drinks and glasses). Tables accommodate groups of 8, 10 or 12. If you would like to be seated with other ticketholders, please indicate the name(s), along with any dietary requirements, when you book your tickets.
Anne Buist is the Chair of Women's Mental Health at the University of Melbourne and has over 25 years clinical and research experience in perinatal psychiatry. She works with Protective Services and the legal system in cases of abuse, kidnapping, infanticide and murder. Medea's Curse is her first mainstream psychological thriller. Professor Buist is married to novelist Graeme Simsion and has two children.
Graeme Simsion was born in Auckland and is a Melbourne-based writer of short stories, plays, screenplays and two non-fiction books. The Rosie Project began life as a screenplay, winning the Australian Writers Guild/Inscription Award for Best Romantic Comedy before being adapted into a novel. It went on to win the 2012 Victorian Premier's Literary Award for an unpublished manuscript and has since been sold around the world to over forty countries. Sony Pictures have optioned the film rights with Graeme contracted to write the script. The Rosie Project won the 2014 ABIA for Best General Fiction Book, and was ultimately awarded Australian Book of the Year for 2014. The sequel, The Rosie Effect, was released in 2014 to great acclaim and also became a bestseller.

In the lead up to New Years, TRACC posted on facebook four Eco resolutions. These were to encourage our followers to think about our planet as we come into 2017. The new year is always a good time to reflect on the year that has been and also on what is to come. Whilst the resolutions are basic ones to do with reducing, reusing, and recycling, they form part of a bigger picture about each of us taking responsibility to take actions in our lifestyles to combat environmental issues. Every act has an impact and if we can reduce our environmental footprint in some way, it will make a difference.
At TRACC We see first hand the impacts of climate change and humans everyday. While Pom Pom is a stunning white sand tropical island, we see plastic bottles wash up on shore by the hundreds, crabs choose bottle tops over limited shells, sea levels creep up each year, corals noticing the temperature changes and bleaching, and on the 29th we had tar wash up on our beach, presumably from some sort of oil spill, or boat disposal. Human impacts are inescapable, and need to be lessened if we want to continue to enjoy our beautiful planet for generations to come.
Coconut crab in a bottle top
So when you are thinking about your resolutions for 2017, don't forget to include ideas about our environment, to make less of an impact, and to encourage good habits in others. Our resolution ideas included stopping using plastic bags, not buying bottled water, investing in a moon cup (for the ladies), and of course- coming to volunteer at TRACC! There are many more small and large changes an individual can take- feel free to comment on the post if you want to share your own Eco resolutions.
On a positive note- this article highlights some environmental wins for 2016. (http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2016/12/2016-environmental-legacy/)
Let's have even more in 2017!

I have over nearly 1/4 of a century played a multitude of these games but never have I seen such one sided results versus NPC in hero card battles. Rigged is an understatement!! . It makes a mockery of all the cards and their strengths. Visiting a friend and fighting a planet 2 army of 1400 strength V my own 4000. Its a no brainer one outcome. I win. But no. i don't even get in a hit before 4 of the npc marauding muppet crew coming crashing 5 and 6 hit damage against my hero.
This is totally unrealistc. As when the boot is on the other foot I get smashed to bits,as is right. You need to tweak this to reflect the bloody hard work it takes for us to get these squads together. I getting fed up every other battle getting slaughtered by a band of green muppets. Or in some cases all purples . It really is a game quitter,please do something with it or i'll go spend elsewhere on a game that has had a little forethought put into the battle mechanics.

Do we as human beings work best alone, away from other people and their interactions, assistance's and guidance? I believe that most of us overall find that going it alone entirely can be a challenge. As we progress through life, we get to know people and form bonds and links. We learn who can help us, how, when and with what.
In a similar way, no part of the body works in isolation. There are so many connections not just in terms of the physical but also the energetic.
Over the next few weeks we will be working our way around the physical structure of the body.. with a focus on a particular area or areas of the body each week. We will reflect upon the way in which our chosen part interplays, interacts, affects, supports or hinders several other parts of our structure.
The arm is not the arm without the shoulder…… and so on!
When we become more familiar with our connections, internal and external then we can begin to understand more of how we move and make the shapes of our asanas. We can shed light on why sometimes we don't move as freely as we might wish and then begin perhaps to see ways forward.
Be interested and fascinated about yourself!

Ever heard of the "seat of power"? Or used the phrase "the throne" to refer to a whole monarchy? What about calling someone a "chairperson"?
As it turns out, there's a very good reason those idioms exist. As Game of Thrones returns to HBO on Sunday, there's no better time to be reminded that the real history of thrones is a fascinating one—as should be obvious from the examples seen here. It might sound silly to say that people have gone to war over chairs or that others have decided that it is better to always stand than to sit in the wrong chair, but the people who did so had serious reasons. Chairs were literal embodiments of societal status.
Get your history fix in one place: sign up for the weekly TIME History newsletter
The use of seats to signify power is "something that does seem to go from culture to culture," notes Kevin Stayton, Deputy Director for Collections and History at the Brooklyn Museum, which holds several examples of important chairs in its collection. Though thrones, chairs and stools might be differently decorated or shaped in different regions, the idea was the same. Generally, the higher and fancier the seat, the more power the sitter. "Chairs were fraught with political and social meaning," Stayton says.
But Stayton thinks the real takeaway is that "our modern notion of what it means to sit down is so different from what it would have been historically." Until modern times, chairs were generally hard to come by, far more expensive and more difficult to make than stools or benches. It would be the rare room that contained more than one. So, naturally, the most important person—the chairman—sat in it.

Stayton traces the moment of change to around the 18th century. It's no coincidence that the United States came to be then, too: the same Enlightenment ideals that inspired the Founding Fathers also applied to the world of chairs. Imagine a small-town mayor in nascent Massachusetts who is the "chairman" in the rooms in which he sits; in order to combat the democratic notion that they are all the same, fancy European aristocrats made their chairs comfortable. Soon enough, the mayor has the same idea. "At first comfort arises for those people who used to have just status," Stayton says. "As is so often the case, these status symbols begin to filter down to different layers of society."
Before long—well, after at least a century—everyone could have a chair, and everyone's chair could be comfortable.
That idea would have been foreign in the pre-modern world. Chairs were mini thrones, meant to make you sit up straight and look important. And what better chair to do that than the Iron Throne?

Georgia First Lady Sandra Deal visits Jeffersonville Elementary School Wednesday, according to a news release.
She'll read to pre-k and kindergarten classes as part of the extended Read Across Georgia initiative.
In February, Deal visited students in Morgan and Putnam counties. Last May, she read to the kids at Bruce Elementary in Macon.

Twiggs County and Jeffersonville crews believe they found a water-line break that has affected water pressure for hundreds of customers.
Around 1 p.m., they said the break was on Watson Road, near the high school.
They shut off water flowing to the line on both sides of the break while they work on the line.
That means people elsewhere in the county should see their water pressure return this afternoon.
They estimate that the repairs will take about two hours.
The low water pressure has closed Twiggs County schools, and the sheriff's department has sent 33 prisoners to jails in other counties.
A state patrol helicopter came to Twiggs County to help search for the leak by air.
And Macon Water Authority crews are also in town with sonar technology to help find cracks and breaks in underground pipes.
Former Twiggs County Superintendent Valya Lee has been named one of five finalists in Tuscaloosa County School System's superintendent search, Tuscaloosa News reports.
Candidates interview next week and announce their decision on April 25.

Magazines may be able to dig up quotes and photos from years gone by, but nobody can dredge up the past like a mother! Thankfully she only shared the minimally embarrassing anecdote of my childhood cartoon creations (Mo-om!), and today I'm honored to present a guest post on my talented mom's blog, Happy Appliquer. Be sure to look around to ogle the work of a truly accomplished appliqué artist.

Since my Fruit Market quilt got shipped to the publisher almost immediately after I got it back from the quilter, it was great to get it out into the light of day.
Speaking of the light of day, how's this for dramatic lighting? The sun decided to act as a natural spotlight for Pineapple Rings.
Cover quilt Cobblestones got the spotlight treatment too.
Check out these treat boxes my super friend, cashier, and cheerleader Sandy made for the retreat using the Cobblestones blocks! Even better, they were filled with her homemade caramely, chocolatey shortbread.
My lovely assistants, Deborah and Sandy, with my Mod Flowers Table Runner. The runners were too small for them to hide their faces behind; I do believe there were some secrets whispered behind the larger quilts....
Counterbalance turned on its side reminded some audience members of snakes who'd gobbling up a rat, which I had to admit was a pretty fair assessment. So the quilt's nickname will now be Well-Fed Snakes.
Garden Allotments was one of the crowd favorites—broderie perse is great with fairly large-scale prints like these florals.
Round the Block was another crowd pleaser, not that you'd know it from the faces we're pulling.
Having a TED Talks moment.
One of our guild members is named Dessie. As I was unfurling this banner and only the left half was showing, one of our VPs was momentarily puzzled as to why I'd made a quilt that said "Feed Dessie"—was she hungry?? (The pattern for the full pieced alphabet is forthcoming, so you can spell out the name of whoever needs to be fed in your own guild.)
After lunch, I demonstrated needle-turn appliqué with freehand tree shapes as in the All Seasons Pillows peeking out to the left of me (a free pattern for the project is coming later in the blog tour). Not having a precise line to follow takes the stress out of needle-turning so you can focus instead on learning the process and hand movements. I was thrilled to see guild mates discovering (to their surprise) that the process was easy and fun! There's really no need for all that "A-word" name-calling.

Free heart appliqué pattern
Hearts have never been a motif I've liked much, nor has Valentine's Day been top on my list of favorite holidays. But there's no denying that a heart shape is perfect for learning to appliqué. It's got it all: inner curves, outer curves, inside corners, and outside points—all the things you need to learn how to sew for any appliqué method.
Despite this natural appropriateness, I avoided using hearts in the projects and illustrations for The Quilter's Appliqué Workshop, mainly because they just seem a little too twee. But it is Valentine's Day (like it or not), my book does come out this month, and I did need a shape to try out blanket-stitch appliqué on my relatively new sewing machine. So I gave in.
I drew up an Alexander Girard–inspired heart that's fairly geometric and squat, a little more mod than the typical primitive or playing-card heart. So download the free PDF pattern or EQ7 project file and set your sewing machines to twee!
The EQ file also includes a quilt design using the heart motif laid out in a half-drop pattern and colored in a sort of ombré from red to hot pink. Maybe he doth protest too much?

Kitting tools for portable hand applique
Sometimes I do handwork in my sewing room, sometimes in the living room, and sometimes out and about with my appliqué friends. Hand appliqué is generally pretty portable, but if you have a lot of thread colors, you might not want to drag them all around the house or further afield.
To make thread a little more portable, I wind the silk thread I use for appliqué onto machine bobbins so I can fit a whole bunch of colors into a single grab-and-go box, along with other essential tools. (If you're interested in any of the specific tools and supplies, I've gathered a list of my favorites on Amazon.)
That bedraggled tomato isn't the most exciting pincushion in the world, but it fits nicely in my travel box and has emery in the strawberry for cleaning needles that start to get tarnished. As to why I'm hanging onto those bent needles on the magnetic strip, all I can figure is I wasn't bothered to get up and dispose of them properly.
For traveling even more compactly, I sometimes use a smaller bobbin box, paring down the essentials even further.
Generally I don't need marking tools in this box, because I use it after I've already marked and basted a block up—though it's handy to have a mini bottle of basting glue for making quick changes. The folding scissors are just right for snipping threads and making occasional clips into the appliqué seam allowances.
Since I'm not using the silk-thread bobbins in my sewing machine, I label them with reinforcement rings from the office-supply store to keep track of the color numbers. Keep in mind that when you wind thread onto a bobbin, it's backwards, so instead of threading the leading end, thread the tail end into your needle for hand-sewing.
How do you kit up your appliqué supplies?

Mid-Century Monday: Boby taboret for sewing storage
The Other found me the best present ever! He spotted this organizer in a thrift store and thought it might be helpful for my sewing bits and bobs. "If you don't want it, it was only $2," he said, since it was fairly covered in paint, scuffs, and grime. He didn't know what he'd scored, nor did the shop that priced it! (All photos are after cleanup.)
So what is it? The sorter in me is delighted with its functional features, but I also knew straight away that it was not just any organizer, but a classic Boby taboret, designed in 1969 by Joe Colombo. The space-age styling and practical compartments have long appealed to me, but the $300 pricetag for a new version kept it strictly in the realm of covetousness. (Of course, 45 years in production, then as soon as I look it up to check the current price, nobody's selling it.) So after a once-over with a damp cloth and a twice-over with the same stuff I used to clean up my Genie, there's an authentic piece of mid-century modern design in my sewing room, all the more exciting for being such a bargain!
Mainly designed and/or sold for fine artists, the brilliance of Boby is that he's chock full of compartments of different sizes and configurations—much more useful than a stack of same-size drawers. There are tiny wells for paintbrushes, deep ones for rolls of paper, bulk cubbies for chunky stuff, and shallow drawers for small pieces. In other words, perfect for sewing supplies!
Rather than floating around the room at random, rolls of fusible web, freezer paper, and stabilizer can live in the deep sections, along with my slippery quilting mat. Instead of brushes, a seam ripper and screwdriver are kept close at hand. And the flat top gives a surface to corral spools, bobbins, and any of those other current-project things that tend to float around a sewing table. My Boby's shorter than the standard model, so he rolls right under the sewing table when not needed.
But the drawers—oh, the drawers! My Boby model has three shallow swing-out drawers instead of two deeper ones. This is ideal for presser feet and machine needles. I'm constantly switching feet while I sew, and my Janome 8900 uses some fairly bulky dual-feed feet that now have a home of their own in the top drawer.
Things like spare spool caps and spool pins live in the next drawer down—easy to get to, but tucked away. (Away from dust and curious cats, that is.) Bulkier machine attachments and occasionally used stuff is here too.
The bottom drawer holds various pins and clips. Like the fusible rolls, these previously didn't have a proper home and wandered untamed around the sewing room. Just getting the rolls, pins, and presser feet in order was worth the $2.
The cubbies round the back are just right for mid-size items like quilting gloves and a bobbin winder. They were always awkward when I had them in drawers with smaller items like thread spools.
I haven't decided on a definite purpose for the largest cubby at the base of the unit. There's a molded signature down there proving Boby's no knockoff—along with some bits of paint and ming I wasn't quite able to get rid of, proving that this particular Boby's no mere showpiece. I fully intend to continue using and loving him.
And though I tease the Other about his near-constant thrift-store circuit, I should probably just appreciate it! He scored another great mid-century find which I'll share next time.

PHOENIX, Feb. 20 (UPI) -- An Iraqi man who was initially reported to be on the FBI's "watch list" of suspected terrorist associates was jailed Thursday after being arrested by police on an unrelated warrant, the Arizona Republic said.
Federal authorities later denied there were any connections between terrorist groups and Alidai Al-Hamdani, 27, who was picked up at his home Wednesday on a Maricopa County warrant for a probation violation and unlawful flight.
"There is no information to suggest that Al-Hamdani is tied to any terrorist organization," Pat Schneider, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's office in Phoenix, told the Republic. "I think it's nothing more than a miscommunication."
Initial news reports on the arrest had noted that a Phoenix police detective assigned to an FBI fugitive task force, had described Al-Hamdani in court records as an "associate of foreign terrorist" groups who "moves from one location to another to avoid arrest."
An FBI official later said that while Al-Hamdani's name had been in a computer criminal database as a "person of interest," their concerns about him were satisfied during questioning following his arrest.
"Our concerns were resolved during that interview," Special Agent-in-Charge Charlene Thornton told the Republic. "I think it's safe to say he is no longer of investigative interest to us. ... The system worked."
Al-Hamdani was not available for comment as he remained in custody at the grim Maricopa County Jail on an unspecified probation violation. Al-Hamdani had been sentenced to three years probation after being arrested for leading police on a high-speed police pursuit last summer following an argument with his girlfriend.

That's gotta hurt
Nooooooooooooooooo! Rare Ferrari F40 (price: $1 million) bursts into flames in Monte Carlo, is lost forever
One Monte Carlo car enthusiast had the day from hell earlier this week, after their rare Ferrari F40 (price tag, $1 million) burst into flames on the streets of the Monaco city.
In images posted online by an Instagrammer with the account smih_carspotting, the seriously expensive vintage racer can be seen engulfed in flames, as a man tries in vain to fan the blaze by pouring water from a balcony above it. It remains unclear what caused the car to self-immolate, the Daily Mail reports.
The Mail reports the car in question can reach speeds of up to 366 kilometres an hour. But it was left a stagnant, melted husk of a thing after its rear side somehow caught fire as it was driven through the streets of the scenic town home to thousands of wealthy individuals. The car's right-hand driver door could be seen left ajar in photos posted online, possibly indicating that the driver had made a hasty exit.
A video of the fiery Ferrari can be seen here:
The classic Ferrari, melted to almost nothing, was later pictured being taken away by a team of tow truck drivers, the Mail reported. Among those to express their dismay were Max Biaggi, an Italian motorcycle racing great, who posted that the incident occurred near to where he lives.
"Oh God it hurts so much" one Instagram user wrote, but thankfully no injuries — driver, or otherwise — have been reported.

Most Harvey flood protection damage not repaired as hurricane season starts
As the Atlantic hurricane season arrives Saturday, Harris County leaders say the region remains extremely vulnerable to major storms two years after Hurricane Harvey's unprecedented rains swamped the Houston area.
Ninety-five percent of the county's flood control infrastructure damaged by Harvey has yet to be repaired, a testament to the scope of the monster storm and the laggard pace at which the federal government disburses funds. Though the county flood control district has begun projects supported by a $2.5 billion flood infrastructure bond passed by voters this past August, no major improvements have been completed.
The Harris County Flood Control District made $5 million in emergency fixes in the months following Harvey, but had to wait for federal aid to begin the bulk of needed repairs.
"We literally could not start the construction before grants were in place because we would not have been reimbursed," said Alan Black, the district's director of operations.

Drive Day-
What a bummer to leave Abel Tasman and the Golden Bay on a perfect sunshiney windless day!! What a travesty! Unfortunately we had a long drive to catch the ferry back to the North Island. Heartbreak to leave the South Island!! Adding insult to injury our ferry was nearly 2 hours behind which took away any chance of our planes in Wellington on the back side! Ugh!!! The only redeeming quality of the day was our lovely lunch in Picton with one of Taylors buddies from home, Elder Hassell. Sitting by the water st the Seabreeze Cafe, Elder Hassell and his companion told us about the church in Picton and the various areas that they had served-many of which we had visited!
We had a great visit followed by a very rough and windy Cook Strait crossing which left many of our party quite nauseous. Sadly, the weather slowed the crossing even further than planned and it was quite late when we pulled into our charming rural cottage.
Thankfully, we awoke to a beautiful morning so that we could enjoy all the wonderful amenities of the cottage. The kids got fresh eggs and picked ripe apples. Lily was in heaven with the doll house and the babies with their carriages. Adrienne and her husband came down to meet us and we had a lovely visit where we pet their cats and fed the chickens, sheep and horses. The kids even got to swing on this epic little tree swing their son had made. Such a perfect morning.

Kate McKinnon reveals how Leslie Jones nearly puked live on 'SNL'
On Live With Kelly and Ryan, Kate McKinnon explained that in a recent sketch on Saturday Night Live, she and James Franco nearly made her castmate Leslie Jones puke. McKinnon and Franco were in a sketch in which they played gift wrappers. Franco ended up cutting off a finger, and "blood" sprayed everywhere.
McKinnon said, "Leslie Jones, who we love, was going to throw up. She was going to throw up in real life at all of this fake blood because it was very visceral, a lot of blood everywhere."
In the sketch, Franco spat blood onto Jones, and some ended up in her mouth. Although McKinnon said the blood tasted like fruit juice, Jones couldn't help but get queasy.
On live TV, Jones fought back the urge to vomit and probably missed a line or two and made the sketch a highlight of the night.

How to Get Your Christmas Tree Home – When It's 10 Stories Tall
PermitWizard helps U.S. Capitol Christmas "People's Tree" make cross-country journey from Idaho to Washington D.C.
Brentwood, TN (October 18, 2016) – Searching for the perfect tree and bringing it home on top of the family SUV is alive and well as a holiday tradition for many American families. For the U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree, it's more like strapping it onto an oversized flatbed, with transcontinental support choreography worthy of a NASA space launch team.
That's where PermitWizard gets involved, as the transportation permit sponsor of the U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree for the third year running. With a recent historical average height of 80 feet, the tree extends beyond standard federal trailer length and load width limitations. Not even for our nation's "People's Tree" are these rules waived, but those limitations are there for good reason, as bridges, tunnels, on/off ramps, and many other normal features in our highway system become numerous immovable obstacles when your journey's Point A and Point B are 2,500 miles apart.
Fortunately, there are oversize/overweight rules to allow for the unique shipping requirements of loads such as space shuttles, wind turbine blades and gigantic Christmas trees. Routes must be carefully planned in advance to avoid hang-ups and permits pulled from every state being traveled through. PermitWizard's unique specialty is knowing the oversize/overweight hauling requirements and the U.S. transportation system down to, for example, the overpass at Route 50 offering only 12 feet of clearance, so they can map out a flawless route for any specific oversize/overweight shipment and obtain the permits needed from each state on the route.
PermitWizard (a LexisNexis® company) joins more than 40 other sponsors and partners under coordinating nonprofit Choose Outdoors in bringing this year's tree to Washington D.C. Major supporters such as KTVB TV 7, Idaho Potato Growers Association, Skybitz, Kenworth, Hale Trailer, Gary Amoth Trucking, Alaska Airlines, Seid Crane Service, Truckload Carriers Association, Eaton, University of Idaho, Meritor, Bass Pro Shops, and BrINC come together with in-kind services and donations to make this beloved, 53-year tradition possible.
Since 1970, the Capitol Christmas Tree has been harvested through the U.S. Forest Service from one of our National Forests. This year's 80 foot Engelmann spruce will be cut November 2nd near McCall, Idaho, in the Payette National Forest. With great fanfare, the tree will leave the Payette National Forest followed by a caravan of caretakers for the journey to the U.S. Capitol. More than 25 community celebrations are being planned throughout the tour, culminating with the official tree lighting in early December. Smaller companion trees also will be provided to decorate offices inside of the U.S. Capitol building and other sites throughout Washington, D.C., along with 8,000 ornaments created by residents throughout Idaho.
"We are delighted to once again support the U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree tour through our PermitWizard permitting services," said Jeff Piefke, general manager at LexisNexis® VitalChek Network Inc. "This is a great opportunity for communities across the nation to celebrate the spirit of the season and over 110 years of the U.S. Forest Service."
"The annual journey is only possible with the help of strong community partnerships throughout Idaho and beyond state lines," said Bruce Ward, founder of Choose Outdoors. "We're grateful for the time and resources PermitWizard is providing to help make this the best tour to date."

About the Payette National Forest
The Payette National Forest offers the visitor over 2.3 million acres to enjoy. Everything from the deep recesses of Hell's Canyon to peaks reaching elevations of almost 9,500 feet. Dry desert grasslands compliment heavily forested acres. Gateways to the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness lead the visitor to experience the solitude of seldom traveled trails. To the west is the Hell's Canyon National Recreation Area, the deepest river gorge in North America. Stand on the canyon's east rim and in some places you gaze down 8,000 feet to the Snake River that carved this canyon. Gaze across the ten-mile wide chasm into the neighboring state of Oregon. Located entirely within Idaho, the Payette NF shares lands with Adams, Idaho, Valley, and Washington Counties. For more information, visit www.fs.usda.gov/payette.
About the U.S. Forest Service
The mission of the U.S. Forest Service is to sustain the health, diversity and productivity of the nation's forests and grasslands to meet the needs of present and future generations.

Well, I'm Chris. Chris Lowry. You probably worked that one out fairly easily.
I'm a family man, doctor, keen community member, and passionate follower of Jesus. It's a fair mix.
I love dogs: I have two, Hezebelle and Pudding – who is licking my feet as I write this. I'm married to the beautiful Katherine, who keeps an eye on me, puts up with me disappearing for hours to design websites and makes sure I shave occasionally. I would like to dedicate this site, such as it is, to her. She really is very lovely. She is not licking my feet as I write this.
My mad little baby boy is called Joen James, who is nowhere near as hairy as me yet. My daughter Neriah Grace is well on route to having at least as much attitude as I do though, which is a bonus.

Plan to say goodbye to the city's blue recycling bins starting early next year.
In their place, Tampa officials plan to supply residents with larger, wheeled green recycling carts — though not all at once.
With nearly seven times the volume of the city's blue bins, the 95-gallon carts will hold more while being easy to roll to the curb.
"You're going to love it. It is so easy," said Jeanmarie Massa, the recycling manager for Miami-Dade County, which switched to the carts in 2008. Since then, recycling participation has grown and the county's recycling tonnage has doubled, nearly hitting 63,000 tons last year.
Tampa officials are looking for similar benefits here, said Tonja Brickhouse, Tampa's solid waste director.
The carts should be easier to handle for people who have had trouble carrying the 14-gallon blue bins. They have lids, and they should keep animals and rain out, and paper in, reducing litter on pickup days.
Tampa's carts also will be outfitted with radio frequency identification, or RFID, tags to reduce loss or theft and to help the city collect information about recycling participation throughout the city.
But the change won't take place all at once.
In late January, the green carts will go to the recycling route with the highest rate of participation in each of the four quadrants of the city. Other routes will be switched over a period of about 18 months. Customers' recycling schedules will not change.
The city has 79,000 residential and commercial recycling customers, more than 95 percent of them residential.
Currently, the citywide recycling rate is 33 percent, and the recycling route with Tampa's highest recycling rate is 55 percent.
But that should change, Brickhouse said.
"I think it's going to increase the recycling participation rate across the city," she said. "It is just easier for the customer."

Animato's house-brand of strings, Maestro String Set for Violin, produce a rich and warm sound with a good overall projection. In terms of tonal response, dynamic range and lefthand feel, violinists who have experienced Maestro Strings for themselves often comment upon Maestro as a brand that is comparable to some other European brands from Denmark, Germany, Austria and the USA.
The E string is made in Germany and is made of plain steel. The G string is made with a synthetic core – similar to Dominant strings etc – wound with silver, and both the A and D strings are wound with Aluminium. All Maestro strings have to the ball end, including the e string, unless there is a special request for a loop-end e.
Considering the mellow tonal experience and rich sound quality that Maestro strings offer, they are priced very competitively against the more recognized and more expensively priced European brands.
As well as Maestro strings for violin, Maestro Strings are also available for viola and cello.
You can order your Maestro String Set for Violin from Amazon or from Animato Strings – with free shipping.

Homeownership Tax Benefits and the Affordable Housing Crisis
The website Talkpoverty.org recently published an article that discusses the gap between what the federal government spends on rental assistance programs and homeownership tax benefits. The article states that federal rental assistance programs in 2015 cost the government $51 billion, while "two of the largest homeownership tax programs—the Mortgage Interest Deduction and the Property Tax Deduction—cost $90 billion in 2015."
The article goes on to state that "households making over $100,000 a year received nearly 90 percent of the $90 billion spent on the two tax programs discussed above. Households making less than $50,000 got a little more than 1 percent of those benefits."
Low-income households receive even less of a benefit from these tax programs (the article puts the average monthly figure that low-income households receive from these programs at eight cents). This stands in stark contrast to households making over $9 million annually (0.1 percent of Americans) receiving an average of $1,236 per month from the two homeownership tax programs mentioned above.
The article ends with a discussion of how we can make this system more fair for low-income households, including redirecting some of the spending on wealthy homeowners to benefit first-time homeowners, helping low-income households save for a down payment, and other policies that could help put an end to the affordable housing crisis.

Royal Weddings Around the World
The Most Stunning Royal Weddings From Around the World
The Most Stunning Royal Weddings From Around the World
While many royal weddings don't garner the attention of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's upcoming big day, they don't lack in lavishness. In 2013, Princess Madeleine of Sweden married US banker Christopher O'Neill in Stockholm, Sweden, and it was far from a modest affair. The princess was dressed in a lace gown designed by Valentino Garavani, and the designer was among the many VIP guests that included other royals from around the world, like Princess Charlene of Monaco and England's Prince Edward.
Madeleine and Christopher's nuptials were part of a long tradition of elaborate royal weddings around the world. In 2012, the tiny country of Luxembourg treated its Crown Prince Guillaume to an extravagant affair when he married Belgian Countess Stephanie de Lannoy. The celebration, which reportedly cost around $650,000 and was funded by taxpayers, spanned multiple days, and included a guest list packed with kings, queens and other royals from around the world. In Brunei, Princess Hajah Hafizah Sururul Bolkiah, the fifth daughter of Brunei's sultan, married Pengiran Haji Muhammad Ruzaini at her father's 1,700-room palace in front of 3,000 guests. A state dinner followed, and Queen Elizabeth II even sent her best wishes.
These royals make up some of the lesser-known but just as regal royals of the world. And just like the Brits, they know how to throw opulent weddings for members of their families. From the wedding for the future emperor of Japan in 1924 to Grace Kelly's Monaco spectacular in 1956 to Will and Kate's big day on April 29, 2011, here is a guide to the world's royal weddings over the years.

What a great weekend! I was done work on Wednesday, managing to have a 4 day weekend! The village that we live in has a big Lions weekend, which happened to fall on the long weekend!
Thursday we worked on the patio and then went to my sisters place to celebrate my Mom's birthday (which was Canada Day too).
Dad, Randy and the dog moved back to thier place, so we are house-guest-free!
Friday we headed down to the lake (Turkey Point) and checked out the in-law's new SHIP! I call it a ship, because it is HUGE!! 37 feet! It is great and they really deserve it! So we spent the day out at Pottahawk, had dinner at the dock and then came home. Then we went down to the "family dance" and mingled for a bit!
Saturday was the parade, my Mom, Sister, Eric and Hannah came down! It was Hannah's first parade and she seemed to love it, or at least parts of it! With Mike being a volunteer firefighter in the village, he was actually in the parade. The parade was on our street for the first time, and it was kinda nice being able to sit on our front lawn and porch! We went down to the park afterwards for some lunch and got Hannah a balloon and they headed out. I stayed at the park with the dogs and went and met up with Mike, who was running the Fire Muster, which is an activity for the kids to play with hoses and fire trucks and do a course they set up! It was great seeing Mike playing with the kids! He just loves doing it and seeing the smiles on all thier faces! We headed home and my aunt called and asked us to come up to the cottage, we hummed and hawed, and decided to go for it ( it was 3:00 and an hour away (to Grand Bend)). We sat in the sun, and Mike was playing on the seadoo, had dinner and went back down to the beach for some fireworks! What a great show up there! They were all over! We were tempted to stay over, but Mike had the Fireman's breakfast to help with on Sunday morning (early), so we came home and were in bed just after 12:30. Then Mike was back up at 1:30 for a medical call!
Today was the breakfast, we ran into town for groceries and then had ice cream and gave the dogs a bath.We are heading to the park to watch a ball game and fireworks!
Back to work tomorrow, and hubby is off for the week! I probably won't be getting any holidays for the summer, which is fine, we didn't have any big plans!

BoxingWatchers.com Boxer Power Rankings: December 2008
If you've been with us before, you'll remember that this is not a pound-for-pound list (we recently did one of those too), but a pseudo-scientific way of ranking how boxers have been performing over a rolling three-year period. More details are here.
Staying active, winning and winning by KO all help your score. Losing, obviously, does not. Fighting people who come into the bouts on winning streaks also helps. A "perfect" score would be 36, and anything above 20 is pretty damn good.
That being said, here we go:
1. Arthur Abraham - 24.96 - Yes, he pretty much fights exclusively in his native Germany. But it's hard to say any world class boxer at any weight class is on as much of a roll right now. Since May of 2007, King Arthur has knocked out six straight opponents.
2. Wladimir Klitschko - 23.67 - Is it his fault the heavyweight division is less than scintillating? Dr. Steelhammer can only fight the guys who are out there, and with the notable exception of the Sultan Ibragimov fight, he's been taking care of business.
3. David Haye - 21.07 - He's fun to watch because there's always the feeling he could get the KO or end up looking up at the lights himself. Next year could be a big one for Haye.
4. Celestino Caballero - 20.72 - Fresh off an impressive knockout of previously undefeated Steve Molitor, Caballero makes his first appearance in these rankings. I'd love to see him fight Israel Vazquez.
5. Manny Pacquiao - 20.62 - Pac Man proved the doubters wrong by wiping the mat with Oscar De La Hoya. Now we'll watch anxiously to see if he can succeed the Golden Boy as the top draw in the sport.
6. Vic Darchinyan - 17.00 - Vic enters the rankings after pretty much dominating highly regarded Cristian Mijares. His February fight with Jorge Arce should be a fun one.
7. Andre Berto - 16.34 - Though undefeated, Berto has his fair share of critics waiting to be impressed. He'll get a chance in the first intriguing bout of 2009 when he steps in against Luis Collazo.
8. Paul Williams - 15.89 - The Punisher is a champion at 154 pounds but is willing to move up or down to make the right fight. A case could be made that he's entering the new year as the most avoided boxer out there.
9. Kelly Pavlik - 15.36 - Marco Antonio Rubio awaits in February as The Ghost returns to his hometown and a more comfortable middleweight division. The big question is when he will face Abraham.
10. Antonio Margarito - 15.20 - Endangered his rep for fighting anyone, anywhere by holding out for more money to face Shane Mosley, but it's all good now. We know he's not scared of Mosley, or anyone for that matter.
The next 7: Miguel Cotto, Chris John, Nonito Donaire, Juan Diaz, Juan Manuel Marquez, Joe Calzaghe, Nate Campbell

Interesting, this is pretty cool. I have nothing bad to say about it.
Only thing that I can "complain" about, I guess would be whats said after Margarito's name. I don't think he's avoided at all. Seriously, if he was avoided, why did Williams fight him and then offer him a rematch for the past year and a half (in which Maragarito has declined and hasn't even talked about). Just recently AFTER he signed for the Mosley fight did he say he'll fight Williams. Cintron wouldn't have tried to fight him again, then there's Cotto. We wouldn't be having a Mosley match this January. Where did someone "avoid" him. I've never fallen for that. Clottey jumped on the occassion to fight him, he got hurt though and fought him 1 handed. Clottey has wanted a rematch but Margarito has said there's no point. Before anyone brings up Mayweather, remember, Mayweather DOES NOT want to do business with Arum. I don't believe it had anything to do with Margarito being too dangerous. Then there's DLH, EVERYONE knows DLH will always go where the money is.
I know it may seem like I don't like Margarito and I'm just looking to bash him, but it's really not like that. I like him, he's actually one of my favorite fighters to watch. I just think he's overrated and the media just tries to make it seem like no one wants to fight him because he's soooo good. He's avoided by everyone. I just don't get it.

Oh yeah, I really didn't explain how all that fit in on what was said after his name. It says:
10. Antonio Margarito - 15.20 - Endangered his rep for fighting anyone, anywhere by holding out for more money to face Shane Mosley, but it's all good now. We know he's not scared of Mosley, or anyone for that matter.
I see that and think "people are going to think Margarito will fight anyone yet not everyone is willing to fight him, he's not scared of anyone, but other fighters are scared of him"
I just wish he fought Williams already. I would think he would want to get revenge on the man who last beat him. They offered him 4 million!!! Arum said "the money isn't there". Who cares, thats what they promise Margarito would get, if he doesn't, sue them!!!
Feels like I'm just rambling now. Sorry bout that.

I agree with you. Fighters are quick to call fighters out they are on their way up the ladder, then they aren't willing to fight the guys who are the new version of them, if that makes any sense.
I can see why they do it; they all want the maximum money and to minimize their risk of losing their position. I can totally understand that. But you are right, it is not accurate to call Margarito avoided anymore. Now that he's got a little fame and he can move tickets and get a spot on HBO, tons of guys would fight him.
Williams, Mosley, Clottey, Judah, probably Forrest, Mora, Qunitana, Collazo, they would all likely jump at a chance as long as the money was half-way decent at 147 and 154.
Only a few guys are afraid to lose their spot by fighting him right now at 147, and would only fight him for a huge payday, and maybe not even then. Berto, Cotto, and Pacquiao and Hatton.

@ ICUH8N - You read a little bit more into that than I intended. All I meant was that when he held out, it was strictly about the money. Whether that's an admirable stance to take is really neither here nor there. Though Paul Williams is certainly a better boxer at this point than Sugar Shane, he's not as big a name. So if it's just about the dollars for Tony, fighting Mosley seemed like the way to go.
For the record, I don't begrudge Margarito for trying to get paid now that he's the one people are chasing. I just found it interesting that he always carried himself as someone who was avoided, and then as soon as he won the belts, he (and Arum!) chose to make a stink about money.

sometimes I wonder too, when you hear the big money offers, if there is some kind of string attached or something. either there is an offer for $4million or there isn't.
If there is, it must not be guaranteed, it must be with potential upside or something.

The way Dan Goosen explains it, its 4 million dollars straight up for Margarito. Whatever though, I'm sure Margarito now knows how it feels to be on the other side. It will be short lived anyways, if Cotto doesnt beat him, I will eat crow and be the 1st one to come on here and admit I was wrong.
I kinda knew I read too much into it, as far as I'm concerned though, he's scared of Williams.
- Dec 16, 2008, 1:40:00 AM
- uatu said...
well if it's a straight up 4 million offer, then I would have to guess Magarito prefers less money and an easier fight with Shane because he doesn't want to jeopardize the big money fight with Cotto even for more money.
So I would say, in that context he is ducking Williams. If it was all about the most money alone, he would fight Williams.

There's an update on that very subject on another boxing website. Don't know how you guys feel about posting another site here, so I won't. But Dan Goosen says:
"...in the Margarito case, Bob took close to $2 Million Dollars LESS of his fighter's money not to fight Paul Williams!"
In other words, Margarito is getting 2 million to fight Mosley.
I will stick with my opinion, Margarito is scared of Williams. Funny thing is, I think Margarito has a good chance against him. I would imagine he's just scared to lose again.
- Dec 16, 2008, 6:30:00 PM

Williams is a tough, tough out for anyone. I thought Margarito was getting to him down the stretch, and the possibility is there that if he could do that the whole fight, then he could beat Paul. Easier said than done.
The way Quintan beat Williams is likely not a style Margarito could or would even consider trying to duplicate.
Williams-Margarito is a close fight, but I would consider Williams the favorite. Margarito-Mosley, not so much. Magarito has the size advantage over all the guys at 147 that he doesn't have over Williams. So I would call it scared to fight Williams, at this juncture.

Just for the heck of it I went back to look at my scorecard for Cotto-Margarito and I had Cotto up 8-2 at the time of the KO. So my memory matched up with the scorecard, I had Cotto outboxing Margarito considerably. Just in reference to the conversation regarding Pound-for-Pound between the two of them.

I have it recorded on my DVR, I have 100+ hours of boxing on there lol. I just watched it again a couple days ago. I gotta say, Cotto looked real good in that fight. Margarito just looked stupid up until the KO. I checked the round by round on here to see which rounds you gave Margarito, the 4th and the 7th. The 4th could have gone either way, the 7th Margarito did indeed win.
Rematch, Cotto wins with ease, my opinion.

That's one thing I don't have, and don't think the others have on here, which is any kind of recordings library. We always get to catch the replays offered OnDemand, but we don't have them at our disposal at all times like you do. I would love to have 100+ hours recorded.
I can't say that Margarito got lucky, but I see Cotto being just a tad more cautious and winning the fight. Cotto showed a bit of that down the stretch against Mosley, where he fought going backwards. He didn't get on his bicycle like Oscar against Trinidad, but he didn't put himself completely in harm's way. I think of it as a more offensive version of Floyd. If Cotto mixes in a little more of that, he might beat Margarito in very lopsided fashion.
I usually can remember my overall impressions of a fight, and certain highlights and punches, but I don't remember the specific rounds like round 4 and 7 anymore. I would have to rewatch the fight.
