OK so I found an old thread here forwarded from a Yahoo Answers question.
So, after a customer master shower install, we haven't used shower #2 in a while. This last stretch was about a month. Turned on the hot water today & noticed occasional spurts of black stuff. My jaw dropped. Lasted for about 30 seconds or so and spurted about every 3 or 4 seconds.
14 yr old house
4 yr old GE 12yr heater from HD
Mixet valve
In regards to the black stuff, it appeared to be water soluble as it appeared to dilute in the water and quickly disappeared. No stains, or settling chunks I could hang onto. Wife saw it too, so I definitely wasn't seeing things.
Any insight appreciated.
true enough, I just figured if I threw something out there people might start coming up with realistic scenerios
No, definitely not hydronic heating but nice shot outta' left field for the boredom factor......
My guess is it would be stuff(seals?) in the mixet valve for a couple reasons.......
#1.) No other taps in the house are showing such behavior.
#2.) This shower is the 2nd closest thing to the hot water heater besides the washing machine.
I haven't turned the water on since then but my guess is that it'd probably be fine today. I'm going to try & wait 1 week whilst watching the other taps to make sure nothing shows.
But if you twist my arm, I'll turn it on now.
And I'll also tell you what you're getting for Christmas.
That is about the "longest shot" possible. One reason, even if it could happen which is astronomically unlikely if not impossible, is that the boiler's feeder is NOT connected to the hot water system. There are many common possibilities when the water has been stagnant in the line for a fairly long time.

Is the Phoenix Coyotes mess finally over? According to a well-placed source in the Coyotes organization, the sale to Greg Jamieson is done.
I would assume, if true, that a Shane Doan re-signing would soon follow.
Dallas beat writer Mike Heika with a fantastic read on Brenden Morrow – next season, his injury troubles, and more.
"At age 33 with one year left at $4.1 million, Morrow would seems like a really good alternative to Doan. Now, he does have the health risk, but you get him on a one-year deal at a reasonable price, and you have the chance to test drive him before signing him to an extension. The problem is you have to trade something (and probably something pretty good) to get Morrow, while you lose no player when you acquire Doan as a free agent.
That could scare off some teams, but it might not mean anything to a team that has some young talent and is ready to win now."
Vancouver 2012 2nd round pick Alexander Mallet may challenge for a roster spot soon. Could be a future 20/20/100 PIM guy.
"Besides being an excellent skater, he can be a very physical guy and I think he will learn to grow into that even more," he said. "I think being in the pros will help him grow into that part of the game, just being around the older guys that can guide him. He can finish his hits, he can be intimidating physically, and he was very tough in our league last year, probably one of the toughest guys.
A move I had completely forgotten about – Christian Hanson has signed with the Bruins (a while back). Does Hanson have a chance to crack the roster? Probably not, unless there are a number of injuries to Boston forwards. Hanson struggled to keep up with the pace of the NHL game while with the Leafs, although a sample size of 42 games is small.
In other news in the Dobber Sports Network, Hockey Pool Geek has published a refresh of their site design that includes a name change – welcome to Fantasy Hockey Geek! The major focus of the redesign was on navigation, usability, and table outputs – it's much easier to get around now and considerably slicker.
Why the name change? Paul, one of the co-founders, put it like this:
Fantasy hockey has a whole lot of participants across the world, and those markets are growing. Nobody outside of Canada calls them hockey pools. Canadians understand what fantasy hockey means. So the choice was: be clear to everyone or only to some? We're inclusive guys.
Fantasy Hockey Geek (I like the ring to it!) is simply a must-have tool if you want to win a multi-cat league. If you're not familiar with the site, they offer a free 24-hour trial. Check it out!
Brock Otten takes a look at the Tampa Bay prospects in the OHL.
Vladislav Namestnikov - London Knights
Despite the reduction in his goal scoring numbers, I thought Namestnikov had a solid season. He was more consistently involved offensively and way less prone to stretches of invisibility (like he was in his draft year). He was also way more involved away from the puck and began to engage in battles in the corners and on the backcheck. He's always been very patient with the puck and a terrific playmaker, especially on the powerplay where he has a bit more room to weave and dart. He will definitely need to get stronger this summer though, in order to be ready for the AHL. He's at his best when he's got time and space to move in the offensive end, but at the AHL level, that time and space will be cut down. He'll have to start winning more one on one battles to create the space he needs. Because he's such a smart player, I think he'll still find some success at the AHL level, even if he's a bit over matched physically. It looks like he could have a shot of playing in the top 6 and on a powerplay unit. I'd expect him to be around the 40 point mark.
The Devils will give Bobby Butler a chance to earn a top six role. Butler had 10 goals and 21 points as a rookie with Ottawa two years ago (in only 36 games). He struggled last season, due in large part to a decrease in ice time and responsibilities.
#11 on Shutdown Line's top 25 young players in Carolina: Victor Rask.
"Rask's goal-scoring and play-making skills make him a very dangerous player and in addition to that, he is very effective as a physical presence. Rask is pretty big and knows how to use his impressive size to advantage and it's helped him become a solid power forward at the junior level. It isn't easy to knock him off the puck and he also has an advantage over opponents when it comes to winning puck battles and playing along the boards."
Jonathan Quick had minor back surgery a few days ago – he is expected to be fully recovered in six-to-eight weeks. He had surgery to repair a disc fragment and remove some inflammation around the area.
How should Kevin Dineen make his lines in Florida? The Hockey Writers writer Charlie Crespo shares his thoughts:
Tomas Fleischmann – Stephen Weiss – Peter Mueller
Although it would be hard to break up Florida's top trio, it still should be done. While Fleischmann, Versteeg, and Weiss got off to a great start last year, opponents seemed to figure out how to defend them as the season progressed. The strategy against the Cats' top line became to play a defensive forward group against them and to be as physical as possible, due to the lack of size on the line.
The top 10 prospects in the Big Apple, according to NHL.com.
J.T. Miller, C: A product of the U.S. National Team Development Program, the 19-year-old had 25 goals and 62 points in 61 games for the Plymouth Whalers of the Ontario Hockey League, Miller's first season in that league.
He joined the Connecticut Whale for the American Hockey League playoffs, but was held to one assist in eight games. At 6-foot-1, 200 pounds, Miller has the size to play in the NHL right now, but another season of development wouldn't hurt.
I really like Miller, and depending on what happens with Shane Doan, I could see him making the Rangers (or at least finding his way on to the roster at some point in 2012-13).
2013 top prospect Seth Jones is profiled by NHL.com. This kid sounds like quite the player.
"Jones showcased those talents last season, finishing with six goals and 20 assists in 48 games with the U.S. National Team Development Program Under-18 team. He would have had a chance to extend that to the 2012 WJC, but a shoulder injury in the last exhibition game knocked him out of that tournament."
Will Jamie Benn's blinders get removed next year? Poolies who own him sure hope so – make sure you read this piece from NHLNumbers.
"Benn was productive last season even with significant roadblocks in his path to superstardom. The most significant of those was the composition of the Stars roster. Despite being the most talented player on the ice on any given night, the focus of the roster wasn't Benn. Instead Mike Ribeiro was more often set up to succeed by Dallas' coaching staff.
In his time with the Stars Ribeiro was both a very effective and productive player. Last season was a disaster though and as the season wore on the Stars gave Ribeiro more and more favorable ice time. Benn, on the other hand, got everything else. Despite this his production at even strength was still comparable to the very best scorers in the NHL."
How do the Flyers replace Andrej Meszaros? The 700 Level weighs in.
"Free agent options to fill Meszaros' spot are limited at this point. Carlo Colaiacovo appears to be the favorite if the Flyers go this route. Even if the injury had come before the market opened, there may not have been much more Paul Holmgren could have done. He traded JVR for Luke Schenn. He put $100 million on the table for Ryan Suter. He put more than that in an offer sheet for Shea Weber. Homer was working nearly every angle possible to bring more defensive help to the Flyers, short of retaining Matt Carle, who took a lucrative deal as the Flyers looked at better options."
What can Florida expect from Jonathan Huberdeau during his rookie season?
"While leading the Panthers in scoring would be a wonderful surprise, it's not very likely. Huberdeau scored 72 points in 37, averaging 1.94 points per game with very talented Sea Dogs. Using the NHLe formula, Huberdeau points adjusted to NHL were 19 goals, 26 assists, and 45 points.
So how would Huberdeau be used by the Panthers? My best guess would be as the replacement for departed free agent Mikael Samuelsson. Samuelsson played most of his ice time on the second line with Sean Bergenheim and Marcel Goc (who are now expected to be on the third line), while playing over two minutes on the powerplay and only three seconds on the penalty kill."
NHLe is an equivalency formula that calculates a player's production at one level and translates that into a corresponding NHL number (for Huberdeau, that would be QMJHL).
Rhys Richards on the Bouwmeester-to-Detroit rumors.
"If the trade price is indeed Abdelkader and a first round pick, Detroit should probably pass. If Calgary is willing to accept a combination of a lesser player, prospects, or picks, then the Red Wings may be well served to trade for Bouwmeester.
If Detroit trades for Bouwmeester and his recent mediocre production continues, his $6.68 million per year for two seasons is still nowhere near the burden that Dennis Wideman's new five-year, $26.25 million contract could easily turn into for the Flames."
Pengwin7 has shared his latest defensive rankings over on the forums – he puts a lot of work into this list and I can attest to its effectiveness. Give it a read here.
Canucks prospect Zack Kassian is working his butt off this summer – apparently down 15 pounds (to 215). I'd expect him to play at 220 or 225 once he is in his prime:

Washington, D.C. – Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi delivered remarks today at a luncheon in the U.S Capitol commemorating the second inauguration of President Barack H. Obama. Below are the Leader's remarks as prepared for delivery:
"'Freedom now stands on the Dome of the Capitol of the United States. May she stand there forever not only in form, but in spirit.' Those were the words that were expressed 150 years ago by the Commissioner of Public Buildings as the Statue of Freedom was placed atop the Capitol during the presidency of President Lincoln. That expression of the spirit of freedom is what we want you to take with you today and it is contained in the portfolio of essays you will receive from Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies – along with a framed depiction of the Capitol as it appeared at the start of the Civil War.
"Today, the Statue of Freedom and that spirit of freedom watches over the Capitol as another President from Illinois takes the oath of office. Despite the challenges of our time – at home and abroad – we heard in President Obama's inaugural address a message of hope, a vision of peace, progress, and prosperity, and a promise of freedom for all.
"May God bless you, President Obama, Vice President Biden, and your families. May God continue to strengthen us all to keep 'faith in America's future' and continue to strengthen us in the spirit of freedom. May God always bless the United States of America."

"'When will the New Moon be over that we may sell grain, and the Sabbath be ended that we may market wheat?'- skimping the measure, boosting the price and cheating with dishonest scales, buying the poor with silver and the needy for a pair of sandals, selling even the sweepings with the wheat. The LORD has sworn by the Pride of Jacob: 'I will never forget anything they have done.'" Amos 8:5-7 NIV
Can you remember a time when most of the stores stayed closed on Sunday out of respect for family worship time? There was a time when you had to remember to fill up on Saturday because the full service gas station would be closed when you wanted to take your Sunday trip. Do you remember a time when people were proud of the "Made in America" on goods because they were good quality? There were small appliance repair shops because it was worth getting an item fixed rather than replaced.
Times have changed and the words of the prophet Amos sound like the kind of society we have become. Even religion for some has become nothing more than moving in the right circles, buying respectability, and assuring that if there is a God ,they will be found acceptable because they made donations. If the church service is too long, people complain. They have more important things to do.
The actions of the nation of Israel were remembered by God. When the time came, the nation was utterly destroyed by their enemies and all they treasured was lost.
The good news for us is that God can forget. Jesus blocks the memories of our sins so that God can say, "I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more (Hebrews 8:12 NIV)." I think it is time for us to remember. See you in church!

Sweatshop Labor is Wrong (Unless the Shoes are Cute)
Nike did it. Apple has done it. In both instances, consumers protested reports of unethical labor practices that would be illegal in the United States.

Historic Abbott Apartments Now Open in Stevens Square
Residents are now moving into Abbott Apartments, a historic rehabilitation of the original Abbott hospital complex located at 110 East 18th St. The hospital was founded by Dr. Amos Abbott in 1910 with backing from William Dunwoody, the founder of Dunwoody Institute (and husband of one of Dr. Abbott's patients). There are four sections to the building, which were constructed between 1910 and the 1950s. Abbott Hospital vacated the building in 1980, and it was used as assisted living for seniors until 2004 when it became vacant.

The property was acquired by developer Swami Palanisami in 2005. The developer pursued several concepts for the site including demolition, which did not move forward because of concerns about the property's historical significance. A proposal to convert the building to condominiums fell victim to the downturn in the condo market in 2006-2007. While vacant, the property deteriorated significantly and became a magnet for burglary, loitering, drug use, and prostitution. The building also had significant lead and asbestos contamination, which was another barrier to redevelopment.
Around 2008, Mr. Palanisami began to evaluate options for converting the building into rental apartments. CPED Residential Finance staff were already working with the developer to utilize brownfield cleanup funds that had been awarded to the project by Hennepin County and the Metropolitan Council. Upon learning that a 100% market-rate rental project was not feasible on the site, CPED staff worked with the developer to reposition the project to include an affordable housing component. By doing so, the developer was able to access the City's Affordable Housing Trust Fund (AHTF) and Tax Increment Financing (TIF). These funding sources, combined with Historic Tax Credits, a HUD-insured first mortgage, Hennepin County Funds, and Metropolitan Council funds, were critical to making the project happen.
The Abbott Apartment project includes 123 rental apartments, including 25 that are affordable to residents earning 50% of the Area Median Income. The building includes studio, 1-bedroom, and 2-bedroom apartments as well as on-site parking (some underground), which is a rarity in the Stevens Square neighborhood. The building is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and its proximity to downtown and local businesses on Nicollet Avenue are proving to be a draw for potential residents, with approximately 80 of the units rented by April 2014.

Full results are in for today's It's Showtime Brussels card. In the main event, Karim Bennoui scored a mild upset, defeating Sergio Wielzen for the IS 61kg title via decision. Good, action packed bout here, and with that win Bennoui becomes the second 61kg champ. Sadly, Wielzen's run never seemed to take off - we'll see if the largely unknown Bennoui can bring some recognition to this fledgling division.
Marat Grigorian scored an impressive win over Severiano Rijssel, earning a TKO in the 2nd round. This is exactly the kind of strong showing Grigorian needed as he looks ahead to his IS 73kg title fight with Yohan Lidon in May.
In the opening bout, Evgeniy Kurovskoy was victorious via unanimous decision against Andre Grigorian. As we mentioned earlier today, Kurovskoy is entered in the huge IS 70kg tournament coming out of Russia in July. That tournament is absolutely stacked, and Kurovskoy will come in the heavy underdog, but it's good to see him get the win here against a very capable opponent.
Complete results are below, and we'll have more analysis and fall out in the coming days.

Andy Ristie def. Nick Beljaards, KO Rd. 1
Lefterio Perego def. Sonny Dagraed, 4-1 Decision

We've got more information coming in from United Glory from this past weekend. First up, if you are interested in the MMA portion of the card, Sherdog.com has full results from the MMA fights online. Check those out here. Video has also surfaced of both Nieky Holzken and Errol Zimmerman in their fights, so we have some details on those fights, plus those videos, below. As for the rest of the card - your guess remains as good as mine. Which, I have to say, is completely ridiculous. It's a real shame that this company would put on a show featuring multiple top 25 fighters, then not even bother to tell anyone who was actually on the show. In this day and age it's absurd not to put results up on your own site, or at the very least, visit a big message board such as Mixfight.nl and post full results. I'd like to say I'm looking forward to the next United Glory show and Guidon vs. Saki, but I have so little faith that I'll actually see the show that it's hard to drum up much interest.
Up first is Nieky Holzken vs. an unknown fighter mis-labeled as Wendy Annonay. To be clear, Holzken's opponent here is NOT Wendy Annonay, as the YouTube video states. Mr. Annonay himself contacted us to clear this up. Our sincere apologies to him, and our readers for the confusion - just more proof of the lack of information from UG. UPDATE: It appears Holzken's opponent is French fighter Carlos Tavares.
Anyway, not sure what weight class this was, as Holzken has been moving around the 70-77 range a bit lately. His opponent looks pretty big, so I would guess something higher than just 70kg. Very impressive performance from Holzken, who patiently waits for the right opening, then takes advantage once he gets it:
Next is Errol Zimmerman vs. Zinedine Hamer-Lain. After hearing Zimmerman was on this card, I was interested to see this, as the Bonecrusher has not looked too good in his last few showings. Here, we once again get the somewhat overweight looking Zimmerman - a fighter who looks distinctly different from the man who made the K-1 semi-finals 2 years ago. On the plus side, he does show off his power and aggression here, putting a heavy beating on Hamer-Lain that ends up breaking the overmatched fighter's arm. I'll call this one better than we've seen from Zimmerman lately, but still not the kind of shape I would like to see him in:

By Daniel Fletcher
Harrison, Gordon & Howson @ Future of Muay Thai 1
The main event had more sizzle than a boiling saucepan, and it duly spilled over in the third round. Kyle Fella of Bad Company (Leeds) was known as a talented youngster with a dash of impetuous recklessness, and this was clearly demonstrated in a Badr Hari/Hesdy Gerges style end to his tilt at the ISKA British title.
Fella looked the sharper of the two in the opening round. He caught a body kick early, and responded with a counter right over the top and a teep that forced opponent Loz Reilly back to a neutral corner. He almost dropped him with a sweeping low kick soon after, and dumped Reilly on his back several times throughout the opening round. A spinning elbow and flurry of punches in the corner only sealed a strong 10/9.
In the second, Reilly's timing was much better, and he blocked more leg kicks and found the mark with straight punches down the pipe. He looked more composed, and for his part, Fella's strikes did not carry the same snap and venom as in the first round.
The third was calamity. A clinch near the ropes caused Reilly to become unbalanced, and he fell back into the centre of the ring. As he pulled up and sat on his haunches, trying to rise quickly to his feet, Fella rushed forwards and threw a kick. Like the phantom punch of Ali in the Liston rematch; did it land? Did it graze? Or was there an element of "Bonjasky-ism" in the reaction to the kick? Either way, it was an illegal blow, and it handed the ISKA British Super-Featherweight title to the prone Loz Reilly.
Ah well. Hesdy Gerges defended his It's Showtime World Heavyweight title against the top ranked Daniel Ghita after winning it in the same manner. There is no reason Reilly cant prove he is a worthy champion either with a solid defence.
Fella comes from Richard Smith's highly respected camp, and with such team-mates as Howson, Harrison, Jordan Watson, Lisa Smith, Richard Cadden and James France, he will surely show some bouncebackability and recover from this slight career setback.

Two big kickboxing shows this weekend to report on:
United Glory hosted the semi-final rounds of their World Series of Kickboxing and MMA tournaments this weekend. On the kickboxing side of things, in the first semi-final, JLB teammate Brice Guidon defeated Mourad Bouzidi via KO in the 2nd round. I have not yet found any footage from this fight, but it's an impressive win as Bouzidi is both a solid fighter and very tough to stop. In semi-final #2, tournament favorite Gokhan Saki (pictured) took a unanimous decision win over Wendell Roche. Another powerful, leg kick heavy performance from Saki in this one, although Roche put up a game fight, particularly in the 3rd round. With those wins, the final is set: Gokhan Saki vs. Brice Guidon. That is scheduled from some time in May, though could very easily be delayed. Saki will remain the favorite, but Guidon is a tough fighter, with a 2010 win over top 10 Hesdy Gerges. He'll definitely make this a good final, and has it in him to pull off the upset.
Only partial results are available for the rest of the card, as United Glory is known to shuffle their line-ups considerably at the very last minute. In more kickboxing action, Nieky Holzken, Errol Zimmerman, and Robin van Roosmalen were all victorious against unknown opponents. Not much is known here, except that Zimmerman apparently broke the arm of his opponent - we'll have more details on that incident plus all these fights as soon as we can. Finally, in the MMA tournament, both UFC veterans lost, as Siyar Bahadurzada defeated John Alessio, and Tommy Depret defeated Roan Carneiro. Siyar and Depret will meet in the MMA finals on that same May show.
The other big event was over in Romania, where SuperKombat and WAKO-Pro presented an event billed as Romania vs. Italy. In a rematch from the 2010 K-1 Europe GP finals, Freddy Kemayo once again defeated Sebastian Ciobanu, this time via extra round decision. Romanian site Kombat.ro is saying there was some controversy surrounding that decision, though take that with a grain of salt as they tend to really favor their local fighters. Dzevad Poturak also took a decision win over Ionut Ifitmoaie, while Catalin Morosanu defeated Yuksel Ayadin, again via decision. On the undercard, the hyped Stoica brothers were both triumphant, as Andrei Stoica defeated Alex Rossi, and Bogdan Stoica took out Levio Ramoni, both via decision. Full results here.
Next weekend, the show to watch is It's Showtime Brussels with their 61kg title on the line. There was a NJKF show also scheduled that was to feature Tetsuya Yamato, but that show has been postponed to May 21 in light of the disaster in Japan.Add a comment
We just saw a hype train not get derailed, but fly off of the rails on its own accord and into the realm of hyperbole. Not in a very long time have I seen a fighter get as hyped up so quickly as Jon Jones has in his very brief Mixed Martial Arts career. Jones has all of the potential in the world, has a large, lanky frame and a wrestling pedigree on top of a sense of creativity that most Mixed Martial Artists are afraid to express.
There is a very good chance that tonight Dana White and the Fertitas were finally able to create a new, homegrown star and one that will have wider appeal than a middle aged white man with a beer gut and a mohawk could have. Jon Jones handled Shogun like he was a small child, and while all of his weaknesses were still there, his strengths were enough to make Shogun look like an average fighter to say the least. Jones had a hard time keeping position on the ground due to poor posturing while going for big elbow strikes, on his feet his footwork as as sloppy as ever and the big shots were never set up or followed up on.
That won't matter to most because he won the fight in dominant fashion and landed a few big, cool moves on his feet that will fill a highlight reel up for future fights quite nicely. A lot of those cool moves he throws he actually did't pick up from Jackson or Winklejohn, but former K-1 fighter Mark Miller (whom I urge you to Google, guy has the best story in combat sports) who he used to train with. So the flash of Jon Jones came from one of the few kickboxers in the United States that were able to prove themselves on an international level in the past ten years and added to the wrestling base that Greg Jackson has been able to have a field day with.
Jones moves on to face team mate Rashad Evans and a slew of articles hailing him as the greatest champion prospect to ever live, but he'll need to keep his head on the ground and pick up some of those fundamentals if he wants to stay on top, because eventually someone will be able to exploit them.Add a comment
Mirko Cro Cop didn't come out to Duran Duran, instead he came out to Ennio Morricone's classic L'estasi Dell'Oro [The Ecstasy of Gold] from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. To many this shows signs of change and for a night of PRIDE NEVER DIE, an ominous sign.
Brendan Schaub is a large, scary dude who looks to have a bright future ahead of him. He clinched Cro Cop against the cage and was broken by Herb Dean for a possible rabbit punch. This just led to a takedown by Schaub. Cro Cop was actually able to sweep him and get back to his feet, but more clinch work from Schaub just exposes what we already know; Cro Cop hates getting clinched.
The second round sees a lot of the same, Cro Cop seems to be afraid of throwing meaningful strikes and his inability to clinch has haunted his UFC career. He throws a left high kick that Schaub was able to avoid and use to take Cro Cop down. The remainder of the round was Goldberg discussing Jon Jones and lots of clinching. Cro Cop actually uses a few close elbows to get some blood out of Schaub before Schaub once again rabbit punches Mirko and loses a point. That might actually even up the fight or put Cro Cop in the lead as he landed the best shots in that round.
The third round starts off with a left inside leg kick from Cro Cop that like a heat seeking missle connects with Schaub's cup. Left leg ball breaker, right leg vasectomy. Schaub after he recovers takes Cro Cop down, Cro Cop pushes him off and gets immediately taken down again with a diving tackle. For some odd reason Shaub lets him get back up and Cro Cop is able to stuff a takedown. It looked good for Cro Cop and then Brendan Schaub lands a crazy right hook behind the ear of Cro Cop sending him flying, head bouncing off the mat.
We love Cro Cop, but it is that time.Add a comment
Saturday was a pretty odd day for the world of fighting. The threat of nuclear meltdown hangs over the collective heads of those in Northeastern Japan, leaving the fight industry there just an afterthought. In between concern over their lives and the lives of their friends and loved ones, you could see fighters on Twitter expressing confusion over what was going on in America, but it passed, as actual pressing matters took over.
In the states, debate, concern, gloating and groaning took place as it was announced that Zuffa, parent company of the UFC purchased top competitor Strikeforce. We are still yet to see exactly how it unfolds, but watching the United States MMA scene over the next two years will be very, very interesting to say the least.
We also got to see Fight Code put on Oktagon, a show featuring Giorgio Petrosyan vs. Cosmo Alexandre, as well as a fantastic top-to-bottom card to support said fight. But there were some other fights of interest in the kickboxing world. In Greece, hometown hero "Iron" Mike Zambidis, better known to some fans simply as ZAMBO outclassed Ali Gunyar on the Iron Challenge event.
The other big fight of note was Albert Kraus fought in Russia against a hometown fighter, Batu Khasikov. This was set to be a tune-up fight for Kraus, but much like Andy Souwer's tune-up fight in Spain, Kraus found himself on the bottom half of a decision and a disappointing end to his Russian excursion.
Oh, and we have videos after the break. Thanks to our pal Brent Ducharme for scouting these.

Giorgio Petrosyan fighting is a big deal, fighting top competition like Cosmo Alexandre is a bigger deal. Petrosyan's defenses are as tight as ever within the opening seconds, as you'd imagine. Cosmo is using a lot of muay thai sweeps because, well, he can't hit Giorgio. Petrosyan connects with a hook and he goes down, but it isn't ruled a knockdown due to how quickly Cosmo gets up. Petrosyan using his hands to set up his kicks brilliantly throughout the round and is controlling where the fight takes place, all Cosmo is really doing is tripping him. Petrosyan had the cleanest shots in that round.
The ref looks like Olaf Alfonso and breaks them up early, as Cosmo's corner forgot to return his mouthpiece. Giorgio is checking just about every kick and moving his head out of the way of strikes while setting up his own combinations. Cosmo asks him to bring it, but that doesn't mask the fact he is getting worked. The only connections that Cosmo has seen so far are rushing knees to the midsection, but he pays for each and every one. Cosmo's hands did connect a few times, but not enough to give him the round.
Cosmo comes into the third round down two rounds, he doesn't look bad, but he is losing. Cosmo is able to back Giorgio up early on, but Petrosyan skillfully backs up and takes control of the ring and the round again. Watching him duck a hook while slipping one of his own is just incredible. Cosmo is frustrated and tries a desperation flying knee but connects with nothing. This was all Petrosyan.
Petrosyan easily takes the decision win and really, Giorgio Petrosyan is nearly unstoppable at this point. Cosmo Alexandre is incredibly tough and a very real opponent.Add a comment
Yoshihiro Sato even fighting right now just shows the spirit that he has. This right here is Japanese spirit, this is budo. Japan is in a state of disaster and Yoshihiro Sato comes to fight against Armen Petrosyan. Armen has a lot to prove as he is in the shadow of little brother Giorgio. Sato comes in immediately with very tight combination work, but Armen picks and chooses his spots. Sato is fighting on guts and emotion, but as always, he is an intelligent fighter. The only problem is Armen can give it right back. Incredible round for both men.
The second round sees both men try to outsmart each other agai, but Armen uses a lot of thai sweeps early on to frustrate Sato. Reminds me of what Overeem did in his earlier K-1 fights. Both men are working their teep to keep the other at bay and clinching when they get in close. Sato does have a reach advantage ans is only really using it to avoid getting hit. Not the same fire as the first round.
We head into Round 3 most likely even on rounds and Sato looks ready to steal the show but Armen is looking to take him down, apparently. Aremen is all about working the clinch, but Sato is actually landing some solid knees. Very ugly round once again, should probably be a draw but I could see it going to Armen.
Armen takes the ugly decision.Add a comment
Dzabar starts off with his high guard and goes to town on CVV immediately. His technique looks incredibly tight.When Askerov gets in close Chris is able to land a few shots, but Askerov's guard is very good. Askerov counters a shot and lands a few amazing hooks that downs Chris and he can't get up. All over.
Amazing technique from Askerov and a series of left hands murders Chris Van Venrooij and proves that he is a fighter to look out for in the years to come.
Absolutely incredible knockout, we'll have a video of it when we can, it is something to behold.Add a comment

Day away from the kids... – Me and my bestie decided to go too Indulgence Day Spa for a day away from the kids, we had a wonderful time ! The spa was clean, we were well taken care of and all our needs were met. From the front desk staff to our Massage therapist to our Esthetician, everyone there was very cheerful and helpful, we will be returning soon!
Great for Men also.... – My wife gave me a gift certificate to Indulgence and I was quite hesitant at first. I have never been to a spa before and have always thought it to be just for women.I have a very stressful job and she wanted me to relax. Much to my surprise I felt comfortable immediately after entering the spa. The front desk staff was very nice and helpful. I arrived quite some time after my appointment was scheduled to start, the staff was very attentive to my needs and were accomodating to my tardiness. I was able to have my full treatment and it was a great massage I was also pleased to see that they have taken "extra" steps to make male clients feel comfortable.
Bad Customer Serivice and F rating – I am so dissapointed in this place. The receptionist are so rude. I received a voucher for 3 visits as a gift. I booked my first appointment and i was running 10 minutes late so they canceled my appointment. so there goes visit one, i lost it and they dont reschedule. booked second visit and i received a call saying they need to chanve my time to two hours after my original time.. wtf! i said i couldnt make it at that time so the rude B*** said ok ill cancel u and u can call whenever u want to reschedule and hung up on me.. not to mention after i looked it up on better business burearu and they have an F rating. check it out in the better business bureau website.. DONT GO!
I'm Hooked on Indulging myself because of them! – Went in for a muscle tention release massage and walked out a member getting my next 60 M.T.R. for $59.00. Better then Massage Envy in every way. The best part is I'm going back next week because they reduce other massage about $20. Go for it, get a coupon for first time clients on the web.
Amazing from check in to check out! – This was my first time at your facility, from the minute I walked in I was taken care of. First by the amazing girls at the front desk, then by the phenomenal staff throughout the spa. Don't let me forget to mention I had the absolute best facial ever, given to me by Tracey. I absolutely loved the ambiance and will definitely visit again! Thank you so much Indulgence and staff for paying attention to the details, so I can take a break. Happy holidays!
There is a reason the price is so low – I wondered why the prices for services were so low. After my first and only visit I see why. I went in for a 90 minute treatment that lasted 45 minutes. Out within the hour. The whole experience was very rushed and not relaxing. I started the treatment with one person and ended with a second person because the first was now doing a massage in another room. I was never shown a dressing room or offered if I wanted a shower. I left with wet underwear after the treatment. I did not complain because I won't be back. There is a reason they hire a guy to troll the parking lot surrounding the spa trying to attract customers. Save your money!
Treat Yourself! – After a long hard week I was given a gift certificate to this spa for a massage. I loved every moment of it and think that everyone deserves to be treated for a day. The staff are great and you can tell that they know what they are doing. So great!
Indulg for a Day – I've been to so many spas in Long Beach and the surrounding area, but I just loved my visit to Indulgence. I like to treat myself when I can, but this one was a unique experience. From the front desk to my facial, it was very relaxing and my skin has never been smoother. She even talked me into getting a back wax and was very gentle. Then I followed this with a M.T.R. massage for a full 60min not the usual 50min that you might get at other spas. They did things like wrap my feet, massage my scalp all for the same price. All was great.
amazing – i was having breakouts everywhere and i didnt know what to do, so i booked an appt and Valerie was my skin theripist. she recomended a glycolic treatment and i was so impressed by my results that i am now going every moth to see her i love indulgence and i have many friends going there now. Oh and i have yet to have any more breakouts!!
fabulous staff – I am a frequent spa-goer and just found this fabulous retreat in my own back yard. the front desk is so accommodating and pleasant. I had Ty for my massage and she was amazing! She really listened to what I wanted! Tracey was my esthetician and the facial that I had was more than a relaxing experiencing but very informative. Not pushy at all just!!!!!!!! She really cared about my skin issue issues and recommended products and help me work with the products I had at home. I cant believe anyone would rate them a ONE STAR???? Dont worry this spa is exceptionally sanitary .I would know as I work state health!!! This retreat will definitely be my new get away!!

A story of Firsts from around the world:
I would resub for the last month after being off for years and on the day the servers went down, I would reminisce in trade chat about Durgular, the greatest trade troll Spirestone server ever had, with all who remember him. When the final minute counted down, I would praise God and let it be finished.

I would put on my T2 transmog while parking my butt in Ironforge, I started the game spending most of my times on the pillar on the bridge near the AH. So I'll spend my last time doing the exact same bringing myself nostalgia and good memories.
My husband and I would log in on the toons we met on, and park ourselves in IF.
I'd spend my final hours dancing naked in Goldshire.
If this happened, I would find as many people from my guild as possible that played in Vanilla and run MC, and maybe BWL. Those were some of the best times we had playing this game. The best part of those two raids was that 20-25 people can carry the other 15-20, and there were plenty of trash mobs. While most of our friends were good at the game, we had a few who were terrible. By the time AQ40 came around, we had to start cutting friends to get by the difficult bosses. Basically, MC, and BWL was more like social time than it was gaming. Chat and BS around during the trash and easy bosses, while getting serious during some of the harder bosses.
Probably go to Silverpine (even though Cataclysm uglified it) and enjoy the last few moments of the game. Seeing Silverpine in beta was when I really had my first "Oooh' moment.
Contact my friends and family and tell them what I've been up to for the last 8 years
In 45 years when wow shuts down ill either be dead, or surely not playing. If im alive Ill come back and play it until they shut it down. Ill sit at halfhill and cry until the final server shutdown timer expires.

Since Blizzard would probably throw a huge (and I mean, HUUUUGE) ceremonial closing party, I would enjoy watching that. Think flying sharks -with lazers- destroying cities, an army of LichKing clones marching trough low level zones, devastating fires all over the place, demons and infernals crashing all over Azeroth and attacking every NPC in sight... You name it
But before that happens, I will likely have reached double my current age

Before we left for Vancouver again the next day (after our small vacation in Whistler), I decided to have lunch at the highly rated Italian restaurant, Il Caminetto, in Whistler Village.
The restaurant was big and empty for lunch. The wine cellar was elegantly laid with many bottles of fine wine. Some plates and pictures were displaced on the wall casually. There were two long tables and many small tables in the room we seated.
While sipping the refreshing Blueberry Frizzante, we looked through the menu thoroughly. The lunch menu is simply but decent. We ordered Zucchini Carpaccio, and Tuscan Minestrone for appetizer to share. For pasta we had Linguine alla Vongole and for main we had Certified Angus NY Steak.
The Zucchini Carpaccio was simply sliced zucchini with vinaigrette dressing and cherry tomatoes. Considering there's more to come and the portion of the other dishes are big, I wouldn't complain about the price. If only looking at the Carpaccio on its own, then the price is not worth the dish.
Quickly after the Zucchini is finished, the Tuscan Minestrone soup came to the table. The portion was decent with virgin olive oil dripped casually on the soup. The soup was hot and delicious with different vegetables such as carrot, cabbage, mushroom, fresh parsley and potato. We enjoyed the combination of the cold Carpaccio and the hot Minestrone.
The linguine came right after the soup was taken away. I agree that the photograph doesn't look so appealing the quality of the dish was impressive. There was a large quantity of clams, wild salmons, surf clams, and prawns on the linguine. The pasta was cooked with a garlic broth. The seafood was fresh and nicely cooked and the linguine is clear without the common creamy taste. The only disappointment was the fact that the pasta was not house-made which surprised me because most high-end Italian restaurants such as Q4 would always make their pasta fresh daily.
The Angus Steak finally came with some potato and vegetables. I ordered the steak as medium and it was just about right. The potato was crispy on the outside and soft inside. I like the sauce of the steak and it went wonderful with the potato.
After lunch, we had time for a short walk in the Whistler village. The stone-covered streets were clean with not many visitors. There were many store in the village and we walked past several other great restaurants besides Il Caminetto that were on our to-eat list for next time.
While walking in the village, we discovered a small gelato shop called "Bocca Gelato". I decided to have a gelato as dessert since I didn't order any at the restaurant.
All the flavors seemed ordinary but one top of each kind of gelato; there were the real version of the flavors on them. There were Oreos on the cookie and cream gelato, strawberry on the strawberry gelato, coffee beans on the coffee gelato and even marshmallow on the dream rocky gelato.
I chose the low-fat strawberry gelato on a cone. The waffle cone was crispy and freshly made and the gelato was refreshing, too. The quantity and quality of the gelato were worth the price so I would recommend this gelato shop in Whistler.
Both the lunch and the dessert were fairly satisfying for both the price and the driving all the way to Whistler. Summer is a good time to explore Whistler and enjoy all the great food in this quiet summer reserve for foodies!

"The Language of God" Book Club–Chapter 6
How should we interpret the Bible? What is the role of tradition? What is the role of science? Who gets to decide whether traditional interpretations need to change?
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
How should we interpret the Bible? What is the role of tradition? What is the role of science? Who gets to decide whether traditional interpretations need to change?
"Being confronted with evolution may have been the catalyst for asking the difficult questions, but the real problem for me was not evolution – it was biblical literalism."
Once we recognize that no one takes the text literally, and that we have often failed to account for the details in the text regarding the time of day, we can begin anew to try to understand the text as an ancient text rather than as a modern one. As such, we must begin with the idea that the text operates in the world of omens, not the world of physics and astronomy.
This series, by Old Testament scholar Richard S. Hess, was first published as an appendix to Christian Apologetics: A Comprehensive Case for Biblical Faith (Downers Grove: IVP Academic; Nottingham: Apollos, 2011).
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
So what then does Resurrection mean? For Benedict it represents a new dimension of reality breaking through into human experience. It is not a violation of the old; it is the manifestation of something new.
To understand more clearly where Polkinghorne lies on the larger landscape of science and religion, let's consider his approach to the Resurrection. Many contemporary thinkers, including some theologians and clergy, believe that "science" has somehow made it impossible to believe in the Resurrection, the deity of Jesus, and even belief in the transcendent God of the Bible.
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
In this three-part series, Cal DeWitt offers insights and examples of why science and ethics must work together to help us make informed, practical decisions within our society. DeWitt's science-ethics-praxis model provides a framework by which we can live more effectively as God's stewards.
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
The God who created the cosmos is the God who came to us as a child in Bethlehem.
As an Evangelical and a scientist, Katharine Hayhoe is already a member of a rare breed. As a climate change researcher who is also married to an evangelical Christian pastor, she is nearly one of a kind.
"I flatter myself," Hume triumphantly proclaimed, "that I have discovered an argument . . . which, if just, will, with the wise and learned, be an everlasting check to all kinds of superstitious delusion, and consequently, will be useful as long as the world endures."
In this talk, Professor Plantinga addresses the fact that many contemporary thinkers—including many theologians—believe that God cannot perform miracles, providentially guide history, or interact in the lives of people, as these activities would be contrary to science. Plantinga, on the other hand, makes the case that this popular view is mistaken; excluding divine action in the world is not a central feature of natural science itself, but a philosophical or theological preference that has been added on to science (and can just as readily be removed). Plantinga concludes that it is completely logical to accept the miracles of the Bible and support contemporary science.
Charles Darwin's personal struggles and ultimate rejection of Christianity are well documented, and people are eager to link his loss of faith to his evolutionary theory. David Lack, on the other hand, began his scientific career as an agnostic, but shortly after publishing his famous book on the evolution of "Darwin's finches", he converted to Christianity.
Many people use the words "dominion" and "subdue" as "unconditional permission to use the world as they please." I came to realize, like many, that such an interpretation is contradicted by the rest of the Bible.
Some criticized John for his theistic evolutionary position and even his appreciation for Darwin. But Stott saw no contradiction between his own commitment to the authority of Scripture and his openness to God's use of evolution in His creative process.
Does God need to supernaturally "intervene" in order to bring about the diversity of life that we observe today? Is that kind of action different from God's ordinary action? We begin our three-part series with Robert John Russell's description of how views of divine action have changed throughout history, excerpted from his book Cosmology: From Alpha to Omega. Part 2 addresses why "intervention" in the natural world is a problem philosophically, theologically, and scientifically; and Part 3 explains Russell's own theory of divine action in the natural world.
We think that God created all living organisms, including humans, through the evolutionary process. But acceptance of creation through evolution does not mean that we reject the notion of a miracle-working God. On the contrary...
N.T. Wright explores the context and manner in which Scripture is authoritative. He does so by questioning the meaning of an authoritative book as well as the application of such authority. Wright encourages us to flee from the controlling "list" mentalities that belittle the richness of God's Word, and rather to understand it as a narrative inspired by God and recorded by ancient persons. Ultimately, God "organizes" his people through his Son Jesus and by the Holy Spirit, and not through extracted rules from the Bible.

There are several reasons you SHOULD NOT spend more than $75 (if you can more than $50) on your prom dress.
You'll probably only wear it once. The memory of the dress will only live in photos in your mom's living room. Unless you turn into one of those people who wear their high school lettermen jacket in college, it's not the greatest night of your life (trust me, you'll have many more). Your local thrift store (especially Salvation Army and Goodwill) are full of prom dresses for under $10, that you can "alter" to fit your style (for inspiration, watch the 80′s Molly Ringwald movie "Pretty in Pink").
And these great prom dress options below:

Paul McCartney Film:
Friday, September 13, 2013
7:00 pm
In 1975 and 1976 Paul McCartney and Wings undertook the epic "Wings over the World" tour, the largest scale tour they would ever undertake as a band. From this tour came both the legendary "Wings over America" triple live album and the concert film Rockshow. Although filmed on this tour at the enormous King Dome in Seattle, Rockshow, originally a cut-down version of the concert, was not premiered until November 1980 in New York and April 1981 in London. It was released on Betamax and later on laserdisc.
Now, for the first time, the complete full-length concert—fully restored from the original 35mm film and with restored and remastered sound—is available, including a 5.1 mix for the first time. See the film that captures Paul McCartney and Wings live on stage as never seen before!
