| Harry Belafonte Vs. Animal, Muppet Show, Drum Battle | | 2008-06-25 21:15:30 | | Hoy vamos a ponerle algo de ritmo, con dos personajes, muy familiares en mi vida.. ámbos encantadores. Pero cada uno en su mundo, aunque si esos mundos se unifican, dan como resultado la unión de “Harry Belafonte” y “Animal”.
Para los que no conozcan a “Harry“, es alguien especial, rezuma buen humor, buen hacer, y su personalidad tanto cuando canta que cuando toca lo que toca, y no es un “mambo” precisamente. Y el segundo no por orden, si no por que es el más nuevo, es “Animal“, el batería de “The Muppet Show“.
A lo mejor hay alguien que se acuerda de esta batalla de percusión, y si no es así, pues aprendiendo que es gerundio..
Pues visto lo visto, hoy no es un vídeo largo, más al contrario es corto. Y se intuye lo bien que lo debieron pasar, tanto “Harry” como “Animal” o quizás el ¿marionetista?.. Yo como me declaro en algo de mi carácter, similar a “Harry” en s | | By: Memoria De Una Desmemoriada | | |

| Firefighters battle forest fire on Athens outskirts | | 2008-06-25 16:15:00 | | Firefighters battled a major fire Wednesday on Mount Hymettus on the outskirts of Athens that burned through one of the Greek capital's last forests but posed no threat to homes."We are trying to contain the fire, a very difficult blaze which moved with incredible speed," fire department spokesman Yiannis Kapakis told the Mega television channel.Thirty-seven fire engines, 150 firefighters, 100 soldiers, 13 water bombers and four helicopters were mobilised to fight the blaze that broke out shortly after midday near Glyka Nera, around 30 kilometres (20 miles) east of Athens.Winds over 50 kilometres (30 miles) an hour pushed the flames to the summit of the mountain, out of reach of ground units, but firefighting aircraft kept the flames from reaching the suburbs of Holargos and Papagou on the other side."Homes are not in danger, but a beautiful forest is threatened," Glyka Nera mayor George Siokos told state television NET.

| Battle of the fighting game geriatrics | | 2008-06-23 00:34:00 | | Fighting games are full of clichés when it comes to their characters. Every fighting game features a spiky-haired Japanese guy wearing a headband (Ryu, Akira). There is always a busty, scantily clad girl, who breathes a little too heavily and fights with a fan (Kitana, Mai). And then there’s my personal favourite cliché: the old, geriatric kung fu master.Every fighting game has one. He’s the guy with grey hair, bad posture, comical facial expressions, and, if it’s a Japanese game, a questionable fixation for female high school students. He’ll normally fight with a cane, or a staff, or at least with a stick. And he usually will have taught or fathered about half the other characters in the game.The “old guy” really is an essential component for any fighting game. But who is the toughest “old guy” of them all? Tekken’s Heihachi Mishima? Mortal Kombat’s Shang Tsung?

| Aetius & The Battle of Chalons (451 AD) | | 2008-06-11 10:11:00 | | Flavius Aëtius was born at Durostorum, modern Bulgaria, in 396 AD. Son of an Italian mother, Aurelia, and Flavius Gaudentius, he rose to be master of the horse in the service of the Western Roman Empire. But he spent some years as a hostage, first with Alaric and the Goths, between 405–408, and later in the camp of Rugila, a king of the Huns. Aëtius's upbringing among bellicose peoples such as the Goths and the Huns gave him a martial knowledge and attitude lacking in Rome itself at that period. Certainly he learned every trick the Huns themselves utilized in battle, and he used that knowledge well in his conflicts with Attila.At the beginning Aetius opposed Valentinian III, but later made peace with Valentinian's mother, Galla Placidia, who gave him a command in Gaul. He got also embroiled in difficulties with his rival Boniface. Being defeated near Rimini in 432, Aetius went briefly into exile among the Huns, but he soon returned in 433 as he became the chief ruler of the Western | | By: Stories & Straight Thoughts | | |

| Battle of Alesia | | 2008-06-09 11:07:00 | | The Battle of Alesia took place in the French Jura or near modern Alise-Sainte-Reine in 52 Bc. Also known as the Siege of Alesia, it was fought by the army of the Roman Republic commanded by Julius Caesar, aided by cavalry commanders Mark Antony, Titus Labienus and Gaius Trebonius, against a confederation of Gallic tribes united under the leadership of Vercingetorix of the Averni, the Gauls chief. Being the last major engagement between Gauls and Romans, the battle of Alesia marked the turning point of the Gallic Wars in favour of Rome. The battle of Alesia is considered one of Caesar's greatest military achievements, and is still one of the classic examples of siege warfare and circumvallation.Julius Caesar had been in Gaul since 58 BC, and he made alliances with some tribes of Gauls in order to fight others. One by one he had defeated Gallic tribes such as the Helvetii, the Belgae, and the Nervii, and secured a pledge of alliance from many others.

| News: Food crisis: Who will win the battle for fertile land? | | 2008-06-05 09:08:59 | | In The Global Food Crisis - A Perfect Storm, I outlined some causes of the global food crisis. One of them was the struggle for arable land, either through the increase 'need for food' to feed the increasing world population, and the decrease of available land through climate change and desertification.Already several years ago, the "food crisis" alarm bells started ringing fearing the world is running out of fertile land.Back in 2005, scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison combined satellite images with agricultural data from every country in the world to create detailed maps of global land use. The maps showed roughly 40% of our planet was used for either growing crops or grazing cattle. By comparison, only 7% of the world's land was being used for agriculture in 1700. The research indicates that there is now little room for further agricultural expansion.

My girlfriend was trying to get me to understand him better as his campaign warmed up in the fall. It worked. Generally, I supported him somewhat before I read the book, but I threw al my support behind him after I read it.One area that has led to repeated conversations with my girlfriend and with others down the pub has been gay marriage.

| Honda takes honours in battle of the off-roaders | | 2008-05-20 15:38:00 | | The study examined 28 manufacturers and 100 models, from city cars to 4x4s, registered between September 2005 and August 2006.Here, we look at how some of the better-known 4x4s got on. It's important to remember that many of these have been replaced by newer models, but for anyone buying secondhand it is a good piece of insight.It is also important to note that a number of 4x4s were not sampled. Most of those were 'softroaders', as opposed to hard-graft offroaders.The Honda CR-V (since replaced by a newer version) came top of the 4x4 pile, with four-out-of-five stars and an 81.6pc satisfaction rating. It finished 32nd overall, out of the 100 surveyed. In the CR-V, comfort wasn't highly rated, and neither was the stereo. The authors say the 4x4 category didn't fare well overall.The next best 4x4 was the Toyota RAV4, with a score of 81pc and a 38th place ranking.Owners said they had more problems with interior controls, such as wipers, locks and windows.

WP - Carlos Zambrano (5-1) LP - Aaron Harang (1-5) Save - Kerry Wood (5)
Carlos Zambrano and Kerry Wood combined on a 4-hit shutout, the Cubs second of the season. Zambrano threw a gem after a rough start, allowed only 3 hits in 8 innings....his longest outing of the year. Zambrano pitched around two more errors by the Cubs defense and was helped out by the overly aggressive Reds offense. Zambrano finished the night throwing only 113 pitches after tossing 74 in the first 4 innings.
Kerry Wood picked up his 5th save after striking out the last two batters he faced on the anniversary of his masterpiece a decade ago.
Aramis Ramirez made an immediate impact in his first at bat in three games. Ramirez drove in Ryan Theriot with a 2-out single in the 1st inning.

| Withdrawal, Or New Ploy In The Battle For Yahoo? | | 2008-05-04 09:58:10 | | NEW YORK: Is Microsoft really going to walk away from the biggest deal of the software giant's 33-year history? In his negotiations with Yahoo, Microsoft's chief executive, Steve Ballmer, regularly talked tough. Now, by dropping a sweetened, $47.5 billion bid for the company, he may be adopting the toughest tactic of all. In recent weeks, many analysts had expected Microsoft to escalate the fight by starting a hostile takeover bid. But in a recent meeting with Microsoft employees, Ballmer seemed to suggest that a proxy fight was a relatively unpalatable option. "There's a lot of downsides and some upsides associated with that," he said. A statement explaining Microsoft's decision to pull back emphasized the downsides. "Despite our best efforts, including raising our bid by roughly $5 billion, Yahoo has not moved toward accepting our offer," Ballmer said.

She does not plan well and gets herself into messes. Then of course, we have to bale her out of the messes. But, if we say no ahead of time, we subject ourselves to torture -- with her being very hateful to the whole family to punish us for saying no.My plan is to discuss this with the therapist present ... to explain to her why the last three times we ended up agreeing to one of her plans she ended up caught in a situation full of drama, tears, and pain for herself, and thus for all of us.

| Cybercrime bill faces battle in Congress | | 2008-04-22 19:57:00 | | Consolidated cybercrime bill faces tough battle in CongressGiven the rice crisis in the country and high-profile bills pending in Congress, Commission on Information and Communications Technology (CICT) chairman Ray Anthony Roxas-Chua III believes that it would take a lot more effort to convince legislators that its consolidated cybercrime bill also needs attention.The CICT chairman said the agency is working closely with the Department of Justice on the passage of the consolidated cybercrime bill.Roxas-Chua said there were four versions of the cybercrime bill filed at the House of Representatives. He added that the consolidated bill would contain definitions of cybercrime, punishment of such crimes and provisions on cooperation with the international community, among others.Last year, the DoJ created a task force to deal with cybersecurity issues in legislation and investigation. The group was created to pursue the e-government agenda, institutionalize a cybersecurity regime and imple | | By: Pro Pinoy | | |

| Yahoo's first-quarter earnings could sway Microsoft battle | | 2008-04-22 08:41:00 | | Yahoo's first-quarter earnings could sway Microsoft battleMonday April 21, 5:29 pm ET By Michael Liedtke, AP Business Writer Yahoo's first-quarter earnings could determine next step in takeover battle with Microsoft SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- After two years of crumbling profits, Yahoo Inc. can't afford another letdown Tuesday when the Internet icon reports its first-quarter earnings.Although they only cover a three-month period, the results could determine the Sunnyvale-based company's fate as it grapples with an unsolicited takeover offer from Microsoft Corp. If Yahoo bounces back to exceed analysts' modest expectations, it could be a springboard to a higher bid from Microsoft or provide more credence to management's argument that the company will be better off remaining independent.But a disappointing quarter would intensify pressure on Yahoo to accept Microsoft's cash-and stock offer, which was worth about $43 billion, or $29.96 per share, as of Monday's trading.A lackluster performan | | By: Nerdy Eddy | | |

| Cynthia Nixon talks about her battle with breast cancer | | 2008-04-20 22:07:00 | | I was shocked when I read this news yet at the same time relieved that things turned out ok.Two years after she was first diagnosed, Cynthia Nixon says she successfully battled breast cancer.Nixon, who plays the role of Miranda Hobbes on “Sex and the City”, said she was diagnosed when she was in the off-Broadway show “The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie.”Her reason for not going public was understandibly because of not wanting to deal with papparazo's at the hospital. Nixon, who lives in New York City, had a lumpectomy two years ago and then underwent six and a half weeks of radiation.Her mother Ann also battled the disease twice, said Nixon, who has two children."As the daughter of a breast cancer survivor, knowing my personal risk made me more aware and more empowered when I faced my own diagnosis," the 42-year-old actress said in a statement she issued.The diagnosis of cancer in Nixon’s right breast mirrored the plot of the “Sex and the City" television show, in which Kim Catt | | By: ~*Come Share My Fashion Addictions*~ | | |

| Father and son battle it out for voter sympathy | | 2008-04-12 07:06:05 | | There have been many combinations of family electoral success in the UK. In the House of Commons we have husband and wife (Nicholas and Ann Winterton), brothers (David and Ed Miliband), sisters (Angela and Maria Eagle), and many more examples. In local council chambers, many husband and wife teams exist. However, what none of them have ever done is stand against each other in the same seat!Wigan is going to be different this year. Tory councillor Richard Clayton is being challenged by his son, Richard Clayton Jnr, over his matrimonial behaviour. In this election Junior is standing as an Independent. He admits he is "partially" battling his dad as a protest against his father's conduct and says he is concerned about Coun Clayton's refusal to heed earlier pleas to stand down because of it. Well, adultery has never been a reason for being chucked out of office, even clerical office. Lying about it, ah, that's another matter.The electors of Orrell Ward, Wigan, must be somewhat bemused.

| Wireless companies ramp up for ‘white spaces’ battle | | 2008-04-09 23:19:00 | | By Kevin Bogardus Posted: 04/09/08 06:02 PM [ET] Major wireless providers have joined the fight against an effort by high-tech companies to convince policy makers to allow unlicensed electronic devices to operate on unused parts of the television spectrum.Sprint Nextel , T-Mobile and CTIA-The Wireless Association are pressing the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to require that electronic devices get a license to operate on so-called “white spaces.” That way, the FCC would be better able to police the spectrum and ensure the devices do not interfere with television signals, they argue in filings with the FCC. But the push could hinder high-tech companies that are developing devices to operate on white spaces as a new pipeline for broadband Internet access.Read the complete article on The Hill | | By: WirelessJobs.com | | |

Even if doesn't provide much information on the game yet, it shows us three very joucy screenshots and a teaser trailer, all of which featuring the Blood Ravens space marines and the Orks. The graphics in them looks definately stunning and very detailed, with awesome lighting effects.Also, reading the short text provided, we can single out a few elements: there will be campaigns for multiple races, and they will be described as "Epic", so they will probably be more story-driven than the dynamic ones that Dark Crusade and Soulstorm got us used to (they were fun, but quite a bit lacking story-wise).Also there seems to be hints about an advancement systems for the units, that maybe will be able to carry on from battle to battle (if they survive), getting more and more experienced and effective.Thanks to the absolute superiority in depth and charm of the | | By: Classy Gamer | | |

| Kiper vs. McShay -- battle of the draft experts | | 2008-04-04 09:06:08 | | I got a kick out of comparing the most recent mock drafts of ESPN draft experts Todd McShay and Mel Kiper. McShay's mock has the Giants taking Tennessee linebacker Jerod Mayo in the first round and Arkansas State safety Tyrell Johnson in the second. Kiper's mock has the Giants taking Johnson IN THE FIRST ROUND. How can the two ESPN analysts differ so drastically? Well, the Serious Sports News Network has a satirical look at the battle between the two ESPN experts. After years of bad blood, Kiper and McShay will finally have a chance to settle their beef man-to-man. SSNN has learned that the two competitors will square off in a mixed martial arts-style match, to take place in an octagon that will be specially built outside the ESPN offices in Bristol, Conn. For his part, Kiper isn't fretting about the possibility of McShay doing much damage. "I've seen a lot of tape of Todd, and I don't think he's a legit MMA prospect.

| Battle at RCB Brewing in Buffalo | | 2008-03-31 09:01:36 | | Greer, Youboty battle newcomer James to start (BuffaloBills.com) First, a note - be sure to keep your browsers locked in to Mocking the Draft starting this morning, as the 2008 SB Nation NFL Mock Draft is under way. With draft season approaching in full force, many fans of the Buffalo Bills have been discussing the possibility of their favorite team drafting a cornerback in the first round of the draft. With four cornerbacks (Leodis McKelvin, Mike Jenkins, Aqib Talib and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie) possibly representing the best value for the Bills when they choose at pick 11, such talk makes sense. When one takes a gander at Buffalo's roster, however, taking a cornerback doesn't make sense. The free agent addition of CB William James, formerly of the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants, has plunged Buffalo into a three-way race for the starting right cornerback job opposite Terrence McGee. That gives the Bills four legitimate NFL cornerbacks, all with | | By: Buffalo Rumblings | | |

| Noles QB Battle | | 2008-03-28 13:38:00 | | Even with Xavier Lee having left the program, Drew Weatherford isn't out of the woods yet. The embattled QB is facing a long recovery from knee surgery and will miss the rest of Spring practice. In his place Christian Ponder has done pretty well, leading the team to 5 TDs in 12 attempts in a recent redzone drill. Considering the Seminoles' struggles in the redzone of late, I would have to guess fans will be happy with this.The truth is that FSU is in the same boat as the Canes are on offense. We will hear all the right things being said in the Spring, but none of it matters until the players line up in Week 1 of the regular season. I heard great things last year from the Canes' camp, but look how that turned out. I won't believe anything until I see it with my very own eyes. | | By: State of Miami | | |

| Democrats Battle at Own Peril | | 2008-03-21 00:37:08 | | Real Clear Politics is beginning to show what could be a trend in this presidential campaign. As Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton continue to battle it out for the nomination John McCain grows stronger. National head-to-head polls now show John McCain leading both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Previously, both Senator Obama and Clinton were leading McCain in most head-to-head polls. Real Clear Politics averages for polls conducted between March 13 and March 19, show McCain beating Clinton by 1.3 percent. The same polling average also showed Obama trailed McCain by 1.4 percent. McCain is now the official Republican nominee and is not facing the same daily campaign battles that Clinton and Obama are. McCain recently took the time to visit Iraq which just this week reached the 5 year anniversary of the U.S. led invasion. McCain is of course taking attacks from Democrats now that he is the Republican candidate, but with no clear Democratic nominee, there is no one | | By: The Mersman Political Blog | | |
