SEATTLE For Dana White, dealing with the lighter weight classes, in particular the flyweight division, seems like a damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don't proposition.
If the UFC puts the 125-pound weight class on display in the main event, as it did Saturday night with UFC on FOX 8, the promotion's president often is met with questions of why he thinks the flyweights can attract enough attention to carry a card.
But do something like make them the co-main event on a pay-per-view just below a Jon Jones title fight, as was the case at UFC 152 this past September, and he hears about that, too. Why doesn't he think the flyweights are good enough to headline a big card?
In the buildup to UFC on FOX 8, which took place at KeyArena in Seattle, flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson (18-2-1 MMA, 6-1-1 UFC) and challenger John Moraga (12-2 MMA, 2-1 UFC) got plenty of attention. But the co-main event between welterweights Rory MacDonald and Jake Ellenberger might have stolen the show leading up to the card.
That certainly wasn't the case come fight time. MacDonald beat Ellenberger in a lackluster co-feature that had most of the 7,000-plus fans at KeyArena booing the perceived lack of activity. But Johnson and Moraga put on an exciting fight that, while dominated by Johnson, had just enough moments of challenge from Moraga to keep things interesting and that Johnson submitted his opponent with an armbar with just 1:17 left in the five-round fight put a needed cap on the second half of the main card.
And still, White hears the criticism about the flyweights, and about Johnson not being a finisher, a criticism he put to rest on Saturday with his first finish in the UFC after seven straight decisions.
White heard the critics after Johnson's most recent headlining effort before Saturday, as well a "Fight of the Night" winner at UFC on FOX 6 in Chicago in January. (His win Saturday netted him another bonus for "Submission of the Night.")
And such situations typically get White riled up enough that he has no will power to not fire back at the fans who levy the most complaints at the UFC putting the 125-pounders on display."Let me tell you what, if you were talking smack it's like the Dodson fight. If you didn't like that fight, you're not a fight fan," White told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) following Saturday's post-event news conference. "If you don't like the lighter-weight guys, who gives a s--t? Don't watch 'em. I don't know what to tell you. If you don't like what you saw tonight in the main event, you're not a fight fan. 'Oh, they're small and I don't like 'em.' OK."
Instead, likely a good share of the same critics of the lighter weight classes were wishing the MacDonald-Ellenberger fight was the main event instead of Johnson-Moraga. And instead of that being the potential barnburner it was billed to be, it was greatly overshadowed by the little guys."I mean, what do you say to something like that?" White said. "Listen, we've all got to listen to stupid s--t on the Internet and Twitter and everywhere else. You can't fall into the stupidness. If you don't like that fight, you're just not a fan of fighting. Don't watch. I don't watch you to watch. They love when I tell them that that I don't want them to watch. 'F--- you, don't watch it' yeah, they love that."
And White acknowledged that after the co-main event, Johnson's performance very well might have saved the main card, or at least kept fans from leaving with a bad taste in their mouth.
"I don't really think about it that way it's not like I have high hopes," White said of Johnson. "The kid's one of the best in the world. He puts on an amazing performance. That (MacDonald-Ellenberger) fight sucked so bad, and it was a fight that had so much heat on it. It was a very important fight."

Stank wind turbines 'could put flying bats at risk'
Last updated at 13:45, Friday, 18 May 2012
A RURAL community has united in opposing plans for a wind turbine.
- Related article: Askam urged to oppose windfarm
- Related article: Anger over lorries near houses
More than 30 letters of complaint have been registered against plans for an 11kW wind turbine in Stank.
But Barrow Borough Council's planning committee could choose to accept plans for the 18m structure in Stank Lane.
The application, which has been submitted by John Cooper, will be discussed at Tuesday's meeting, which takes place at Barrow Town Hall at 2.30pm.
Complaints have been registered from residents in Stank, Newton, Barrow, Dalton and Ulverston.
Issues raised include the belief that the mast could be seen from Furness Abbey, the effect it will have on wildlife, that tourists may be deterred from the area and the potential noise and flicker created by the turbine.
And several residents have said the turbines could put the local bat population at risk.
A resident of Newton Cross Road in Newton called for a bat survey to be carried out, saying: "I often see bats flying around my garden at dusk on warm summer evenings and on return from the Stank area at the same time of year have seen them as I have driven down the hill towards Newton School."
A statement prepared for the applicant by agent Philip Mather said the development will help to cut carbon emissions.
He said: "The development will generate electricity for Stank Farm which is a rural enterprise and working farm.
"The applicant is committed to reducing their fuel costs as well as their environmental and carbon footprints. This application is essential in achieving this ambition."
In a report prepared for the committee, planning officer Jason Hipkiss stresses that all turbine applications should be dealt with separately and recommended the plans be accepted as they do not conflict with planning policy.
He said: "Members are aware of the campaign against the principle of on-shore turbine developments within the borough.
"In this respect there are several representations against this application that are also replicated for all the other submissions that have been submitted.
"However, I am satisfied that members are aware that each application, while raising several themes common across the majority of these submissions, must be dealt with on its individual merits."

Have your say
I would rather have a wind turbine in every garden than a nuclear/biomass power plants. There are dangers in everything and it is the monitoring and maintainance that are the key. I would happily have a turbine on my land(if I had land). I would argue that turbines are an eyesore. I actually quite like them but even if I didn't I accept that they are a much less aggresive way of sourcing power on our already abused planet and complaining about them on an aesthetic level is laughable. Times have changed and people must learn to adapt.
the planning officer has missed the point not everyone is opposed to on shore or off shore carefully sited turbines this turbine is slap bang in the centre of a village where real people live. This is the point!

Home Office 'PCC elections' by RKCR/Y&R
Rainey Kelly Campbell Roalfe/Y&R has created its first campaign for police and crime commissioners.
The ads publicise the elections for local posts. A TV spot encouraging voter turnout uses CCTV of "real-life" crime scenarios.
The work was created by Richard Fox and Jamie-Philip Woodington. The TV and online film was directed by Ron Scapello via Rogue Films, while the press and poster ad was by Josh Cole.

Here's a new reason to zap video games: Those electronic playthings keep kids from games that stimulate their minds in important ways.
Citing the latest research on the brain, experts say chess, Scrabble, Monopoly—even jigsaw puzzles or tic-tac-toe—do more to help children build analytical, organizational, and creative skills. As adults, your kids will need those abilities, which may keep their minds sharp as they reach old age.
Play time is essential for healthy brain development. This is how children develop imagination, and build cognitive, physical and emotional maturity, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). Play time is also essential for physical development. Unstructured play is one way to encourage children to be more physically active. Physical activity helps your child develop dexterity, balance, and agility.
These mental game-playing "workouts" serve as warm-ups for more serious learning. Children learn how to pay attention to adults and interact with other children. Time spent pretending to be an adult can help a child develop problem-solving skills and socially acceptable behaviors. The AAP encourages parents to limit video and television viewing by school-age children to an hour or two a day. For infants and toddlers, parents should turn off the TV.
Create a safe place in your home that will stimulate your child's sense of play. Gather age-appropriate items together that promote play. Here are some ideas:
For little ones, provide containers to dump and fill, or blocks to handle and stack, and toys that make noise, like pots and pans or large plastic spoons
Give toddlers trucks and plastic animals, or walker wagons and pull toys for when they start moving around
Older kids will probably enjoy playing "dress up" in your old clothes, drawing pictures, and having pretend conversations on your old cell phone

A Look At CBO Projections For Medicaid and CHIP
This brief examines the latest Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projections for federal Medicaid and CHIP spending over the 2014-2024 period. CBO's budget projections, also known as "baseline" projections, reflect CBO's best judgment about how the economy and other factors will affect federal revenues and spending under existing laws. The brief also examines CBO estimates of the coverage effects of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) on Medicaid and CHIP enrollment and spending. Understanding the CBO baseline estimates is important because they are the basis to evaluate the federal cost and coverage implications of proposed federal policy changes.

With a flat spell and bad winds plaguing the Gold Coast, last night was the perfect storm of debauchery as we celebrated the release of Dusty Payne's signature sunglass from Electric Visual. The party was held at Komune, the epicenter of fun here in Coolangatta. We attempted to do a video pre roll of Dusty introducing the party but it was an epic fail—he's much smoother in the water than when you train a video camera on him. With beautiful girls gracing the dance floor and drinks flowing freely, a wonderful night was had by all—this morning could be another story though…

I know its a week late, but I'm going to rant about the state of the union....its not like I'm commenting on the war in Afghanistan, in which case this post would've been made 2 months and 3 weeks from now.
Anyway, last week amateur hour went prime time as what passes for a president these days gave his first State of the Union address. I'm guessing the starting line-up teleprompters Obama took to the elementary school must've been given a much deserved day off because those B-listers doubling as vanity mirrors for Biden and Pelosi seemed to be reversing what were supposed to be applause and laugh lines the entire night. At least as far as the Democrats were concerned.
I swear during the Dems standing ovations if Chuck Schumer acted like any more of a smug arrogant schmuck pants he'd be exactly like....Chuck Schumer
Now that we've all had our first go of it I vote that we take away the teleprompters-in-chief and offically draft an amendment to the constitution that prevents him or any president from using the State of the Union as an opportunity to publicly berate the Supreme Court of the United States.
I know the constitution isn't something the other two branches are terribly fond of but the judicial branch is still SEPARATE AND EQUAL to them. If they don't want a justice like Sam Alito wants to have the temerity to show displeasure in being attacked then Obama shouldn't be doing the attacking in the first place.
How condescending! How arrogant! How can the Supreme Court not defend itself when the President tries to assert superiority over it with a verbal horsewhipping on national television.
If Obama's act goes any more amateurish he'll have to start broadcasting his addresses from the Apollo....
Oh man I can hear the cries of racism now...telling the president to go to the Apollo Theater of all places...fine, any open mic night at a local DC chuckle hut where he'll draw more tears than laughter works just as well....I don't care at this point....
At least I'm not the idiot implying that black equals some kind of inferior. I swear, talk radio is the biggest ratings blessing for Chris Matthews, if it weren't for them nobody would even know that after the State of the Union last week Chris Matthews "forgot" Obama was black.
Too bad Obama can't make the country forget his administration is on crack.
Told you this was going to be a rant...because I when I say I'm going to do something, I don't get everyone to sign on to it and then do the exact opposite....unlike certain sitting presidents who were the subject of this blog and after....Obama....now.... shall remain nameless.
I'm telling you people......me for president. I've already got my campaign button ready to go!

Deep sleepers are guys that are not drafted or rarely drafted.

With an ADP of about 130, he isn't being drafted in most standard leagues.Carson Palmer didn't factor in the last three games of 2012.

Community fund honored for a second straight year
PORTLAND, Ore. – The Portland Beavers & Portland Timbers Community Fund (PBPTCF) announced today that it has been recognized by the Portland Business Journal's 2010 Corporate Philanthropy Awards, receiving the award for a second year in a row for Small Company.
The Corporate Philanthropy Awards were created to recognize the many contributions that businesses of all sizes make to Oregon and Southwest Washington.
"It is an honor to be recognized for a second straight year by the Portland Business Journal," said Sierra Smith, director of community outreach for the Beavers and Timbers. "There is nothing more important to our core mission than community, and we thank the Portland Business Journal for recognizing our efforts in this area."
The Beavers and Timbers community mission is to make the quality of life better for children and families in the greater-Portland area. The PBPTCF strives to reach this goal through focused giving each year, as well as dedication to strengthening the bond between the two professional teams and their fans through extensive community outreach.
The Portland Beavers & Portland Timbers Community Fund, an advised fund of the Oregon Community Foundation, was established in the summer of 2007 and officially launched in January 2008. The fund has an aggressive goal to distribute more than $100,000 in grants each year to deserving nonprofits in the four-county region surrounding the Portland metro area.
To date, the PBPTCF, in partnership with Nike and Spirit Mountain Casino, has donated more than $300,000 to more than 50 deserving nonprofits of all sizes in the four-county region. The fund seeks to support organizations that promote one of the following areas of focus: youth education (specifically the K-12 grade levels); youth team sports and fitness with an emphasis on baseball, softball and soccer-related projects; battling childhood obesity; environmental awareness and activism with youth and families. In addition, the Timbers donated $50,000 to Parkrose Regional Soccer Center, which will be constructed at Parkrose High School. The funds will be used to install two new soccer fields, just east of the Parkrose High stadium, with drainage, irrigation, and lighting systems.
The PBPTCF was among those honored at the Corporate Philanthropy Awards Luncheon on Thursday, Sept. 23.

With that formation how can we create goals? It's ridiculous, 3 strikers/centre forwards and no wingers. The midfield will be under pressure as we are far too narrow and I can only guess it will be another home defeat. Mansfield will see our line up, go for an early goal and then park the bus, I just can't imagine how we will get goals with no Williams or Ruffels on from the start. Only a blind person would put that team out. I do so hope they prove me wrong though as this is a must win game in my humble opinion. But what do I know?

Thrombocytosis (throm-boe-sie-TOE-sis) is a disorder in which your body produces too many platelets (thrombocytes), which play an important role in blood clotting. The disorder is called reactive thrombocytosis when it's caused by an underlying condition, such as an infection.
Thrombocytosis may also be caused by a blood and bone marrow disease. When caused by a bone marrow disorder, thrombocytosis is called autonomous, primary or essential thrombocytosis or essential thrombocythemia.
Your doctor may detect thrombocytosis in routine blood test results that show a high platelet level. If your blood test indicates thrombocytosis, it's important for your doctor to determine whether it's reactive thrombocytosis or if you have thrombocythemia, which is more likely to cause blood clots.
Reactive thrombocytosis rarely causes symptoms. More often, signs and symptoms relate to the underlying condition. If symptoms of reactive thrombocytosis do occur, they may include:
Because thrombocytosis isn't likely to cause symptoms, you probably won't know you have the condition unless a routine blood test reveals a higher than normal number of platelets. If your blood test results show a high platelet count, your doctor will try to determine the reason.
Bone marrow — spongy tissue inside your bones — contains stem cells that can become red blood cells, white blood cells or platelets. Platelets travel through your blood vessels. They stick together to form clots that stop the bleeding when you damage a blood vessel, such as when you get a cut. A normal platelet count ranges from 150,000 to 450,000 platelets per microliter of blood.
If you have thrombocytosis caused by a bone marrow disorder (essential thrombocythemia), your bone marrow overproduces the cells that form platelets (megakaryocytes), releasing too many platelets into your blood. If your blood test results reveal a high platelet count, it's important for your doctor to determine whether you have essential thrombocythemia or reactive thrombocytosis.
Reactive thrombocytosis causes include:
Medications that can cause reactive thrombocytosis include:
You may be at risk of thrombocytosis if you have a medical condition such as iron deficiency anemia or you've had surgery.
If your high platelet count results from a bone marrow disease (essential thrombocythemia), rather than reactive thrombocytosis, you may be at risk of developing blood clots, some of which can be life-threatening.
It's likely that a routine blood test showing a high platelet count will be your first indication that you have thrombocytosis.
Besides taking your medical history, examining you physically and running tests, your doctor may ask you about factors that could affect your platelets, such as any recent surgical procedures, blood transfusions or infections you've had. You may be referred to a doctor who specializes in blood diseases (hematologist).
Your doctor will look for what's causing your high platelet count, including determining whether it's reactive thrombocytosis due to an underlying condition or whether there's no apparent cause, which could indicate essential thrombocythemia or another bone marrow disorder.
Because appointments can be brief, and because there's often a lot of ground to cover, it's a good idea to be well prepared. Here's some information to help you get ready, and what to expect from your doctor.
Your time with your doctor is limited, so preparing a list of questions will help you make the most of your time together. List your questions from most important to least important in case time runs out. For thrombocytosis, some basic questions to ask include:
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask questions that arise during your appointment.
You may find out you have thrombocytosis through one of the following tests:
Because a number of conditions can cause a temporary rise in your platelet count, your doctor likely will repeat the blood tests to see if your platelet count remains high over time.
A normal range for platelets is 150,000 to 450,000 platelets per microliter of blood. If your blood count is above 500,000, your doctor will likely look for an underlying condition. In most cases, signs and symptoms of the underlying condition help guide the diagnosis. Your doctor may also:
Treatment for reactive thrombocytosis is directed at the underlying cause. If a recent surgery or an injury that caused significant blood loss is the cause, your elevated platelet count may not last long. If the cause is a chronic infection or an inflammatory disease, your platelet count may remain high until the condition is brought under control. In most cases, your platelet count will return to normal after the underlying cause is resolved.
Removal of your spleen may cause lifelong thrombocytosis. In that case, your doctor may prescribe low-dose aspirin to help prevent bleeding or blood-clotting incidents, although these occur rarely in reactive thrombocytosis.
If you have thrombocytosis, making healthy lifestyle choices can help reduce your risk of complications. These choices include:

The Owls are an order of birds of prey. Most are solitary, and nocturnal, with some exceptions (e.g. the Burrowing Owl). They are classified in the order Strigiformes, in which there are over 200 extant species. Owls mostly hunt small mammals, insects, and other birds, though a few species specialize in hunting fish. They are found in all regions of the Earth except Antarctica, most of Greenland, and some remote islands. Though owls are typically solitary, the literary collective noun for a group of owls is a parliament.
The living owls are divided into two families, the typical owls, Strigidae, and the barn-owls, Tytonidae.
Owls have large forward-facing eyes and ear-holes, a hawk-like beak, a flat face, and usually a conspicuous circle of feathers around each eye called a facial disc. Although owls have binocular vision, their large eyes are fixed in their sockets, as with other birds, and they must turn their entire head to change views.
The smallest owl is the Elf Owl (Micrathene whitneyi), at as little as 31 g (1.1 oz) and 13.5 cm (5.3 inches). Some of the pygmy owls are scarcely larger. The largest owls are two of the eagle owls, the Eurasian Eagle Owl (Bubo bubo) and Blakiston's Fish Owl (Bubo blakistoni), which may reach a size of 60-71 cm (28.4 in) long, have a wingspan of almost 2 m (6.6 ft), and weight of nearly 4.5 kg (10 lb).
Owls are far-sighted, and are unable to see anything clearly within a few inches of their eyes. Caught prey can be felt by owls with the use of filoplumes, which are small hair-like feathers on the beak and feet that act as "feelers". Their far vision, particularly in low light, is exceptionally good. They can turn their head 135 degrees in either direction; they can thus look behind their own shoulders.
Different species of owls make different sounds; the wide range of calls aids owls in finding mates or announcing their presence to potential competitors, and also aids ornithologists and birders in locating these birds and recognizing species. The facial disc helps to funnel the sound of prey to their ears. In many species, these are placed asymmetrically, for better directional location (Cotty, 2008).
Owl eggs are usually white and almost spherical, and range in number from a few to a dozen, depending on species. The eggs are laid in intervals of 1–3 days and do not hatch at the same time. This accounts for the wide variation in the size of sibling nestlings. Owls do not construct nests but rather look for a sheltered nesting site or an abandoned nest, in trees, underground burrows, or in buildings, barns and caves.
Much of the owl's hunting strategy depends on stealth and surprise. Owls have at least two adaptations that aid them in achieving stealth. First, the dull coloration of an owl's feathers can render them almost invisible under certain conditions. Secondly, serrated edges on the leading edge of the owl's remiges muffle the owl's wingbeats, allowing its flight to be practically silent. Some fish-eating owls, where this silence is of no evolutionary advantage, lack this adaptation.
Once prey has been captured, the owl's sharp beak and powerful talons allow it to kill its prey before swallowing it whole (unless it is too big). Scientists studying the diets of owls are helped by their habit of regurgitating the indigestible parts of their prey (such as bones, scales and fur) in the form of pellets. These "owl pellets" are often sold by companies to schools to be dissected by students as a lesson in biology and ecology, because they are plentiful and easy to interpret.
The systematic placement of owls is disputed. For example, the Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy finds that, based on DNA-DNA hybridization, owls are more closely related to the nightjars and their allies (Caprimulgiformes) than to the diurnal predators in the order Falconiformes; consequently, the Caprimulgiformes are placed in the Strigiformes, and the owls in general become a family Strigidae. This is not supported by more recent research. In any case, the relationships of the Caprimulgiformes, the owls, the falcons and the accipitrid raptors are not resolved to satisfaction; currently there is an increasing trend to consider each group (with the possible exception of the accipitrids) a distinct order.
There are some 220–225 extant species of owls, which are subdivided into two families; typical owls (Strigidae) and barn-owls (Tytonidae). Some entirely extinct families have also been erected based on fossil remains; these differ much from modern owls in being less specialized or specialized in a very different way (such as the terrestrial Sophiornithidae). The Paleocene genera Berruornis and Ogygoptynx show that owls were already present as a distinct lineage some 60-58 mya (million years ago), and presumably also some 5 million years earlier, at the extinction of the non-avian dinosaurs. This makes them one of the oldest known groups of non-Galloanserae landbirds. The supposed "Cretaceous owls" Bradycneme and Heptasteornis are apparently non-avialan maniraptors.
During the Paleogene, the Strigiformes radiated into ecological niches now mostly filled by other groups of birds. The owls as we know them today, on the other hand, evolved their characteristic morphology and adaptations during that time too. By the early Neogene, the other lineages had been displaced by other bird orders, leaving only barn-owls and typical owls. The latter at that time were usually a fairly generic type of (probably earless) owl similar to today's North American Spotted Owl or the European Tawny Owl; the diversity in size and ecology found in typical owls today developed only subsequently.
Around the Paleogene-Neogene boundary (some 25 mya), barn-owls were the dominant group of owls in southern Europe and adjacent Asia at least; the distribution of fossil and present-day owl lineages indicates that their decline is contemporary with the evolution of the different major lineages of typical owls, which for the most part seems to have taken place in Eurasia. In the Americas, there was rather an expansion of immigrant lineages of ancestral typical owls.
The supposed fossil herons "Ardea" perplexa (Middle Miocene of Sansan, France) and "Ardea" lignitum (Late Pliocene of Germany) were more probably owls; the latter was apparently close to the modern genus Bubo. Judging from this, the Late Miocene remains from France described as "Ardea" aureliensis should also be restudied. The Messelasturidae, some of which were initially believed to be basal Strigiformes, are now generally accepted to be diurnal birds of prey showing some convergent evolution towards owls. The taxa often united under Strigogyps were formerly placed in part with the owls, specifically the Sophiornithidae; they appear to be Ameghinornithidae instead.

Owls have been a feature of falconry for years. In recent years, many owls have moved from their previous rural habitats to start to inhabit urban areas. The Tawny Owl has been a common visitor to cities across the UK for about forty years, where it survives on a diet of pigeons and small birds. Owls in urban areas are also known to prey on new-born kittens.
In many parts of the world, owls have been associated with death and misfortune, likely due to their nocturnal activity and common screeching call. However, owls have also been associated with wisdom and prosperity, frequently being companion animals for goddesses. In Hindu Mythology, the barn owl is considered to be vehicle of Goddess Lakshmi (Goddess of Wealth) and thus it is considered lucky if an owl resides near your house.
Henry David Thoreau summarized one perception of owls, when he wrote in 1854's Walden, "I rejoice that there are owls. Let them do the idiotic and maniacal hooting for men. It is a sound admirably suited to swamps and twilight woods which no day illustrates, suggesting a vast and underdeveloped nature which men have not recognized. They represent the stark twilight and unsatisfied thoughts which all [men] have."
Owls are also known to become victims of secondary poisoning by eating mice or rats that have previously been poisoned with rodenticides.
Among the Kikuyu of Kenya it was believed that owls were harbingers of death. If one saw an owl or heard its hoot, someone was going to die. In general, owls are viewed as harbingers of bad luck, ill health, or death. The belief is widespread even today.
In the culture of the Hopi nation, taboos surround owls and they are associated with evil or sorcery. In the United States, as with eagle feathers, the possession of owl feathers as religious objects is regulated by federal law (e.g. The Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 and Title 50 Part 22 Code of Federal Regulations).
The Aztecs and Mayans, along with other natives of Mesoamerica, considered the owl a symbol of death and destruction. In fact, the Aztec god of death, Mictlantecuhtli, was often depicted with owls. There is an old saying in Mexico that is still in use (considered politically incorrect): Cuando el tecolote canta, el indio muere ("When the owl cries/sings, the Indian dies"). The Popol Vuh, a Mayan religious text, describes owls as messengers of Xibalba (the Mayan "Place of Fright").
Other Native American tribes saw the owl as the carrier of the elders' spirits.
The Moche people of ancient Peru worshipped the animal and often depicted owls in their art.
In Indian culture, a white owl is considered a companion and vahana (Vehicle of god/goddess) of Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, and therefore a harbinger of prosperity. The owl has been adapted as an emblem to reflect its implications of wisdom (Wise old owl) by a revered military institution in India known as the Defense Services Staff College. In colloquial use, however, it is commonly used to refer to stupidity. The Hindi word for owl, ulloo is used to refer to a foolish person.
The demoness Lilith is thought to have been associated with (screech) owls as well, by way of the KJV translation of the passage in . Prior to the rise of Islam, owls were considered bad omens and associated with evil spirits in most Middle Eastern pagan traditions. In modern times, although such superstitions are less prevalent, owls are still popularly considered "evil" because of their fierce, horrific appearance.
In the Malay language, owls are called "burung hantu", literally 'ghost bird'.
The Romans, in addition to having borrowed the Greek associations of the owl (see Owl of Minerva), also considered owls to be funerary birds, due to their nocturnal activity and often having their nests in inaccessible places. As a result, seeing an owl in the daytime was considered a bad omen. For example, in Book 12 of Virgil's Aeneid, an owl appears before Turnus toward the end of his battle with Aeneas, prefiguring his death, and "a strange, numbing dread / Washed through Turnus' body; his hair / Bristled with fear; his voice stuck in his throat. The vampiric strix of Roman mythology was in part based on the owl.
Likewise, in Romanian culture, the mournful call of an owl is thought to predict the death of somebody living in the neighbourhood. Such superstitions caused a minor disturbance when an owl showed up at Romanian President's residence, Cotroceni Palace.
In France, a difference is made between hiboux, eared owls, which are considered symbols of wisdom, and chouettes, earless owls, which are considered birds of ill omen.
In the Welsh Cycles of the Mabinogion, the Owl is considered cursed - the first owl was Blodeuedd, a woman born of flowers to be the wife of Lleu Llaw Gyffes. Because she fell in love with another man and plotted to kill Lleu, Lleu's guardian Gwydion turned her into the first owl, saying "You are never to show your face to the light of day, rather you shall fear other birds; they will be hostile to you, and it will be their nature to maul and molest you wherever they find you. You will not lose your name but always be called Blodeuwedd." The addition of the w in her name changed her from a woman of flowers to an owl.
In Finland the owl is paradoxically viewed as both a symbol of wisdom, and as a symbol of imbecility, presumably because of its "dumb stare".
Owl is the name of Pooh Bear's wise friend in the famous childhood stories by A.A. Milne.
The two largest cities in Yorkshire, UK- Leeds and Sheffield both feature Owls in their civic culture. Owls, feature on the Leeds coat of arms, as used by Leeds City Council and formerly by Leeds United Football Club, while in Sheffield they are the symbol of the cities most successful football club Sheffield Wednesday, who are even nicknamed 'The Owls'.

No one but Graeme Obree has the clarity of vision to get to the heart of the 'problem' of how to improve as a racing cyclist. His innovative approach took him to the top of world cycling, twice breaking the world hour record - a story picked up in his Hollywood biopic The Flying Scotsman. It can draw the same outstanding athletic performance from you.
The Obree Way side-steps conventional wisdom and strips cycling back to its elements, always asking the question: 'What actually improves my race time?' This is no routine training programme. Written in a conversational style, the book explains Graeme Obree's radical insights into technique, training, psychology and diet, and the clear logic behind them.
At last, the best kept secret in cycling, the Obree three-phase breathing technique, is revealed in detail, getting more oxygen to your blood with less effort. Graeme Obree's training methods really work - the man is living proof. He believes that resting is key to training, that you can pedal, stretch and breathe more effectively and that, if you really want it, you can find the will and intensity to improve. Get on your bike!

Fiat expects a $10,000 loss on every 500e sold, CEO Sergio Marchionne says. The announcement was made during a speech at Society of Automotive Engineers World Congress in Detroit, the Detroit Free Press reports. Marchionne thinks that automakers should focus on several alternative fuel technologies to meet upcoming fuel economy regulations.
"For every 500 electric that we produce even after all the subsidies we will lose about $10,000 bucks a car," he said. "Doing that on a large scale would be masochism to the extreme."
Current 28 to 30 mpg new car fleet averages will rise to 35.5 mpg by 2016 and again to 54.5 mpg by 2025. Automakers can earn government credits with alternative-fuel vehicles such as hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and EVs. But Marchionne fears that government incentives for electric vehicles will be seen as the best alternative-powertrain solution. He suggests that "technological neutral" regulation should be encouraged.
The Fiat 500e, which will initially be sold only in California, starts at $32,500 before government incentives such as $7500 federal tax credits as well as those offered by California and local governments. With 111-hp and 134-lb-ft of torque, the Fiat 500e is EPA-rated at 122/108 mpge city/highway, with an 87-mile range. For comparison, the larger Ford Focus EV is EPA-rated at 110/95 mpg, with a 76-mile range. For more on the 500e, read our 2013 Fiat 500e First Drive.
Aside from the lower-volume fully electric Fiat 500e, Chrysler is also making fuel-economy improvements with the eight-speed automatic in vehicles such as the Ram 1500, Chrysler 300, and Dodge Charger, and a nine-speed automatic is on the way on the 2014 Jeep Cherokee.
Fiat isn't the only automaker offering a money-losing alternative-powertrain vehicle: the Chevrolet Volt has received criticism as a money loser for GM. Reuters once estimated that the automaker would lose about $49,000 on each Volt sold. GM responded by saying that the news agency only included Volts sold to date and that the lost decreases with each model sold, and that the true number wouldn't be known until the end of the production cycle.

#lovecapetown, Love Food!
Tammy White
Tammy is a born and bred Capetonian.
She absolutely loves the Mother City and its stunning views, spending time with family and friends, being around animals and gardening.
The way to her heart is through a nice strong cup of coffee and samoosas (yes, more than one).
Besides writing various content for Cape Town Tourism over the past few years, she has also been published in The Property Magazine.
Our #lovecapetown food blogger, Rachelle Lucas, recently spent a week exploring Cape Town's diverse culinary scene. From dinners in chefs' private cellars and an eight-course meal with The Creamery, to a V&A Waterfront Foodie Tour and roadside stops for local favourites, Rachelle has experienced a taste sensation!
This is Rachelle's experience of a Bo-Kaap cooking safari.
And here are few historical foodie gems that Rachelle's discovered on her culinary tour of #lovecapetown:
• After hundreds of years of produce-growing, wine making and ocean trawling, Cape Town has mastered a perfect blend of food and wine, with magical wineland vistas and cool coastal hangouts that will soothe and relax the soul.
• Our Mother City also offers up a multitude of weekend food markets with everything from organic produce to slow food and farm fresh meats, gourmet deli delights, confectionary creations and exotic ingredients.
• Some #lovecapetown tour companies offer interactive food safaris, boasting cooking sessions with locals. And if its food on the move that you're after try one of Cape Town's pop up food trucks.
• Best of all is Cape Town traditional cuisine offerings, including: Cape Malay cuisine - born of the cookery that Middle Eastern slaves brought to the Cape in the 1700's; Indian dishes brought to the country during the nineteenth century; African staples such as corn and maize, prepared in different ways, and of course meat; and lastly, Afrikaans foods that are based on Dutch cuisine, with contributions from French and German immigrant communities and the Cape Malay population.
Rachelle took to her social platforms to show how much she loves the Mother City's culinary delights:
"A very elegant dinner with a view overlooking the waterfront at The Table Bay #lovecapetown"
"Salty like the sea :) Nothing like some hake and chips while taking in a beach view #lovecapetown"
"One of my favorite moments ... learning to make samoosas, curry, and roti with Amina. #lovecapetown"
"Finally saw a Gatsby. Oh. My. Word. How did it get named a Gatsby? #LoveCapeTown iPhone is there to show the ridonculous size."
"Just had an entire 8 course meal of sweet and savory ice cream. Heaven! @TheCreamerySA #lovecapetown This one is a chorizo ice cream (yes, I said chorizo) with baked apples and candied bacon. Yummeh!!!"
