#darts .... the real SCDA wins!
L.A. Weekly has done another installment to the story: http://blogs.laweekly.com/
Will the Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao negotiations ever result in a fight?
... from the looks of this article it may be time for the boxing fans of the world to forget about it ever happening. This could end up being the greatest fight that never happened... so it may just be time to stop dreaming about the possibility of this fight.. - D.T.
From the article...
The next round of Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao negotiations could be over before they start.
Mayweather reiterated his stance that he's offering the Filipino star a flat purse to fight him.
"I'm not budging. $40 million is what you are getting. Either you take it or you leave it. Like I've said before, Manny Pacquiao needs Floyd Mayweather. Floyd Mayweather don't need Manny Pacquiao," Mayweather said during the premiere of "Floyd Mayweather: Speaking Out" on HBO.
"My offer is what it is. It won't change."

there's an app for that... darbot.com #darts

A member of my PDSL bracket coded a scoring app that's available at www.dartbot.com It can handle 501 or 301. We've all taken to using iPads linked to this site to do our scoring, as it keeps track of the total number of darts thrown at the bottom of the screen. It's a very clean, simple and highly functional web-based app that works great. You can also choose a computer opponent by double clicking on either one of the '501''s at the top of the screen. Oh, and it's free. Check it out.

Our friend Loree fell and broke her hip a few weeks ago. Unfortunately no one was home when she fell and she remained where she fell for 11 hours. While in the hospital she also had a stroke. She has since been moved from a hospital in Irvine to a rehabilitation center in Anaheim and thankfully, is getting better every day.
While she is doing a little better, She now has to meet a financial burden for medical costs. As well as still try to keep the Dolphin Lounge going. It is difficult enough keeping a business running but can you imagine trying to do that while recovering from what she has been through, in addition to having the added burden of even more financial stress
