Manny Pacquiao made another appearance on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live,' an ABC late-night talk show, on Thursday night. It has become something of a tradition with the Filipino "Pound-for-Pound" king that the week before he fights he bounces on Kimmel's overstuffed chair.

Pacquiao-Porter sparring session wows fans | The Manila Times

THE hard sparring session between pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao and younger pugilist Shawn Porter thrilled the boxing fans gathered at the Wildcard Gym in Hollywood, California. “We weren’t even done yet,” Porter (18-0 with 13 KOs) told boxing site examiner.com. “We went five rounds today. In the fourth round, I got him on the ropes, I started throwing, he started exchanging, and I say I can’t stop till he stops.”

Porter tried to keep up with Pacquiao’s onslaught but the Filipino ring icon was way too strong.

Unicorn #Darts - News - Taylor toppled by Anderson

Gary Anderson won his second UK Open qualifier of 2011 and he did it by beating Phil Taylor for the second time in the final.

The Scot gained a touch of revenge for Thursday’s Premier League defeat at the hands of Taylor in Liverpool, by winning the final at Robin Park in Wigan by 6 legs to 2.

Anderson beat Taylor in the final of a UK Open qualifier Barnsley earlier this month and after racing into a 4-0 lead in Saturday’s final, there was no way back for the Unicorn star.

He’s good, isn’t he??? #darts Brownie's Blog post

There are still those who are unable to grasp the concept of a points-per-dart (ppd) average. Simply put, it’s all points scored, divided by all darts thrown. It doesn’t matter whether a player wins or loses a leg or match, and it doesn’t matter who throws first or second; the formula is always the same. [...]

#darts on facebook.... can't see post by some of your friends?

To fix the problem you need to change your settings.... details below:


Created By
Erik Anderson
More Info
Have you noticed that you are only seeing updates and posts in your news feed from the same few people lately? Have you also noticed that when you post things like status messages, photos and links, only the same circle of people are commenting and you are not hearing from any others on your friends list that perhaps you used to?

...The problem is that a large portion of people on your Friends list can no longer see anything you ......post! Here's why:

...The "New Facebook" installed a new news feed setting that by default is automatically set to show posts from *ONLY* those people with whom you've recently interacted, or interacted the most over the couple of weeks just prior to when people started switching to the "new profile" format. Therefore, for both business and personal pages, unless you and your friends/fans commented on one another's posts within those couple of weeks, you are now invisible to them and they are invisible to you!!

HERE'S THE FIX:

On your "News Feed" home page, click the "Most Recent" title on the right of the News Feed, then click on the drop down arrow beside it to show the drop-down menu and select "Edit Options." Click on "Show Posts From" and change the setting to "All Of Your Friends and Pages." Another way to do it is to access the "Edit Options" link at the very bottom of the Facebook homepage on the right.

(Note: Business pages do not have a news feed. Owners of business pages should adjust the settings on their personal accounts.)

The good news is:

You can now view the posts and updates of all of your friends and fans again.

The bad news is:

**YOU** ARE STILL INVISIBLE to a large portion of your friends on your friends list. If you want to re-establish contact, you will need to get the word out to ALL of your friends. You can do that by inviting them to this "event," or by creating an event of your own, so they can read this news and adjust their news feed setting also.


To invite your friends:

Click on "Attending" at the top of this event invitation and then you will see "Select Guests to Invite" off to the upper left corner. This event is public so every one of your friends who logs onto Facebook can view it, and even the friends who can't see your posts WILL see the event invitation. You can also tweet about it, create a blog post, or send out an email to all your friends in multiple mail-groups of 20 friends each (maximum) to reach them all.

Thanks to Ramone Andres for the above information.

Taylor did his best to try to beat Lewis 8-2 to return the favor of the 8-2 drubbing he took form Lewis in week one of the premier league, but he came up a double short of the task, but he did come back and seal the deal 8-3.

Taylor match avg 107 and 53% on the doubles.


Taylor made this match a display of his dominance and perhaps sent a message to Webster and the rest of the league. That message is... "No matter how well you start, the Power can rise up and strike you down hard!"

IDart - #Dart Players help Dart Players


On the day of the tsunami many dart players in Japan were on their way to Sendai where on this day a big tournament was supposed to take place. Many were affected by the disaster, not all were as lucky as Tsuyoshi und Miho Kadokawa and two of their friends.

4/2/11 #darts MLD "Local" Ventura Highway Shootout $1,260

The MLD "Local" Ventura Highway Shootout was well received and enjoyed. Some of the comments were:
"... enjoyed the match, it's not often you get the chance play long format darts."

"It was fun got to shoot against strong talent in this format! When's the next event?"

"This format should be tried for 'B' and 'C' division players just less total legs!"


Some observations:
- Most matches were very even with a few standout players really showcasing their talents.
- For several players this was truly a test of stamina as they were unaccustomed to playing 5 legs in round robin singles and best of 11 legs in the knock out bracket.
- All players took the chalking responsibilities seriously, and players reported for their matches in a timely manner.
- Many players are looking forward to the West Coast Tour Stop, and several want to have another MLD Local event in this area.

Results:
Consolation Match saw Jose Bolonia win 3-1 over Curtis Pierpont
J. Bolonia $65
C. Pierpont $35

Championship round saw strong matches:
Semis:
Joe Jordan 6-3 Dan Daugherty
Robert Dixon 3-6 Howard Meyers
losers take home $85.00

Finals:
Joe Jordan 0-6 Howard Meyers
Winner: $190.00
2nd: 130.00

Highlights Howard threw 3 180's during the finals to make a total of 6 - 180's for the day. Howard had high outs of 90, 88 and 74 during the finals and a 12 dart and two 15 dart legs.

other 180s for the day:
Joe Jordan 180 x 4
Robert Dixion 180 x 2
Dan Daugherty 180 x 2
Jose Belonio 180

We would like to say thanks to all who participated in the event and would like to let everyone know that two more local MLD events for this year are in the planning stages.
