UFC: More 'Trundle' than 'Rampage' from Jackson at UFC 96
What was up with Quinton Jackson against Keith Jardine at UFC 96 ?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson ? Hardly. It was more Quinton 'Trundle' Jackson…
Yes, Jardine was well beaten, but the most dangerous man in the 205 lb division was clearly not at his sharpest. Or was he over-trained ? Over-confident ?
Yes, Jackson dropped Jardine with a crunching left hook in the second round and had him down again in the third, and as the fight ended, Jardine was simply hanging on.
But Jackson seemed lacklustre…heavy, trying to get motivated, and it played into Jardine's hands at times. Let's be honest, any betting man would have a roll of dollars the size of Mike Tyson's neck on Jackson to win.
Perhaps even by KO, given the history of Jardine with fighters like Houston Alexander. Rampage could, and should have walked through Jardine.
Fight like that against Rashad Evans, and Rampage will be in for a shock.
What happened to the ferocious, fleet footed, heavy punching light heavyweight who wiped out Wanderlei Silva ?
Was Jackson simply overconfident against Jardine and just looking for the one punch finish ?
It looked that way, and perhaps that's the danger when you are arguably the UFC's most dangerous pound for pound puncher.
And come to that, what was Jackson doing not recovering after he had taken a full leg in the nethersack in round 2 ? He had hardly recovered, his discs were most likely still spinning, yet he called Jardine back on too soon which gave the Dean of Mean a clear opening in the fight…
One thing I would not argue with, however, is that Jardine is one of the most awkward fighters out there. If there was a 'fake counter-punching' investigation squad, Jardine would head the wanted list.
But he also runs. An esteemed fellow writer remarked today that he had counted Jardine running away – yes, he insisted, running away – on no less than seven occasions. The alternative narrative is 'moving away to avoid trouble'. He certainly didn't want to walk into any kind of bartering session with Jackson.
Jackson remains one of the crown jewels of the UFC as a fighter, and his hilarious comments after the fight, at the press conference, depict his spirit.
Alluding to the fact he was planning to go on a love fest on a paradisial island to rest with a bevy of beauties, Jackson will instead consult with training staff and make a decision this week as to whether to step in and face Rashad Evans – who magically appeared in the Octagon after the fight like Zebedee from the Magic Roundabout – to replace (the injured) Frank Mir v Brock Lesnar fight as the main event at UFC 98, in May.
That would make three fights in five months for Jackson, who has been in training since October, barring a couple of weeks.
Jardine's style might have added to the illusion in this fight that Jackson felt 'over-trained' but if the magic of 'Rampage' and the howl is to be at its most fulsome, surely Lyoto Machida would be the better option right now against Evans.
We'll have to wait and see, but I suspect Jackson, the consummate pro, will shorten his sun, sea, sand and love-in, and get back in the gym to take on Evans.
And what a fight that promises to be.
As a footnote to UFC 96 : Great KO by Matt Hamill, the Shane Carwin power strike – though it could have been the other way round as both Carwin and Gonzaga are so very heavy-handed - could be a danger to most heavyweights, though I suspect Lesnar will hammer through him.

November 25, 2014
From t-shirts to bumper stickers, American pride was everywhere in the months following September 11th. Now five years later, it's not so obvious. Now, everyone seems to be part of a changing tide of American pride since 9/11.
Keith Flecher has served twenty-two years in the West Virginia Air National Guard. And just like everyone else in this country, September 11th is forever etched in his memory.
"My girlfriend called me on the phone and said 'Keith, what's happening?'" said Flecher. "She was at work, and I said, I'm not sure what's happening. The guard then called and asked if I was available."
In the days that followed, the country came together, but some say the bond has since faded.
One Charleston flag store owner says flag sales were up as much as twenty-five percent in the first six months following 9/11. Flag sales have since gone back down.
Genene Gourley says she used to see more patriotism.
"When you have a tragedy like this, there's a lot of momentum," said Gourley. "You have a feeling of excitement and loyalty. I'm not sure if that subsidies."
The patriotism may have changed, but the memories of that day still remain the same.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Put a sheet tray in the oven to preheat.
Wash and trim the chicken thighs of any excess fat. Crush the garlic and rosemary with some olive oil and salt in a mortar and pestle.
Crack the eggs into a similar dish, add the milk and whisk to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. In another dish add the flour and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Take the chicken thighs and 1 at a time, dredge in the flour, then the egg wash and then coat well with the rosemary-garlic panko bread crumbs. Lay the chicken legs out on a tray lined with parchment paper, as you work. Refrigerate the legs for about 15 to 20 minutes for the breading to set.
Remove the hot sheet tray from the oven and drizzle with a good amount of olive oil. Arrange the chicken thighs carefully on the tray, spacing them out evenly (the chicken will sizzle when added to the hot oil). Roast until the chicken thighs are golden and crispy, about 35 to 40 minutes Remove the chicken from the oven to a serving platter. Season with salt and serve with lemon wedges.

The Massachusetts Convention Center Authority (MCCA) was named a 2014 CIO Top 100 company in IDG's CIO magazine's 27th annual CIO 100 Awards. The CIO 100 Awards recognize 100 organizations that have distinguished themselves by creating business value through the innovative use of IT. The MCCA owns and operates the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center (BCEC) and the Hynes Convention Center.
"For 27 years now, the CIO 100 awards have honored the innovative use of technology to deliver genuine business value," said Maryfran Johnson, Editor in Chief of CIO magazine and events. "Our 2014 winners are an outstanding example of the transformative power of IT to drive everything from revenue growth to competitive advantage."
The MCCA was recognized for consolidating operating procedures through the development and use of custom mobile applications, reducing the number of separate business processes required for running shows from 36 to 13. Innovative mobile technology has made the sales team more effective and given all employees real-time access to the status of an event at any given time, eliminating confusion and streamlining event execution. By transferring information from paper binders to Apple iPads, MCCA staff can address customer requests during an event more quickly and efficiently.
"Implementing mobile applications enabled the MCCA to act like a private sector business and do things faster and better than our competitors," said the MCCA's Chief Information Officer, Steve G. Snyder. "Eventually, the idea is to let our customers browse their own historical order information through custom MCCA apps, which would accelerate the sales process tremendously."
"I have always said that the MCCA has the most technologically advanced convention centers in the world," said James E. Rooney, MCCA Executive Director. "When it comes to a meeting venue's technology, today's event planners have high expectations, and their events place an incredible demand on our IT infrastructure. Steve and his team have consistently exceeded the expectations of these events, and I'm thrilled that CIO magazine is recognizing their work. I know they will continue to display their leadership and innovation as we move into the future."
The BCEC and Hynes were the only convention centers that received this prestigious technology award! Other 2014 CIO 100 Honorees include organizations such as AT&T, Cisco, EMC, General Motors, Siemens, FedEx, and Intel Corp. Find out more about the advanced technology offered by our Boston convention centers by visiting the Technology section of our website.
Steven Snyder, MCCA's Chief Information Officer
Representatives of the state, city, and MCCA gathered in the ballroom of the BCEC to recognize the success of New England's largest building, now one of the leading convention facilities in North America!
"We knew that Boston had what it takes to compete on the global stage and become a top convention destination. To make that happen, the Commonwealth, the City of Boston, and the MCCA came together to build one of the most successful, innovative, and popular convention centers in North America today," said James E. Rooney, executive director of the MCCA.
"The BCEC's accomplishments are an important part of Boston's success story over the last ten years. Thanks to a strong partnership between the MCCA and the City, Boston has become a world-leading meetings destination that draws global attention to our leadership in in key industries such as medicine, life sciences, technology, finance, and academia," said Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh.
The BCEC was first conceived in 1997 legislation to meet the growing demand of event planners wishing to bring their events to Boston. Construction on the BCEC began in 1999, and the state-of-the-art convention facility--the most technologically advanced convention center in the world--was completed on time and on budget. The doors of the new BCEC were opened on June 10, 2004.
The BCEC and Boston realized quick success in the meetings and conventions industry. Just two years after opening in 2006, Boston broke into the list of the top 10 meetings and conventions destinations in North America and has stayed there since. In 2007, the BCEC was named Convention Center of the Year. In 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2013, Boston was named the top U.S. destination for international association meetings by the international Congress and Convention Association. In 2011, the BCEC and the Hynes became the 14th and 15th centers to be awarded gold standard certifications by the International Association of Congress Centers (AIPC), the highest level of certification a convention center can earn in the meetings industry. Boston is the only city in the world with two gold rated convention centers.
In 2009, to meet the increasing market demand on the BCEC, the MCCA launched the "Top 5" campaign to expand the BCEC and develop more hotel rooms nearby the facility. Today, legislation is being considered to fund the expansion of the BCEC without raising taxes or fees. The MCCA has facilitated the development of two mid-priced hotels next to the BCEC and is working to develop a new headquarters hotel. Find out more about the BCEC expansion plans by visiting our website.
The Massachusetts Convention Center Authority (MCCA) received the 2014 Rosoff Award for External Diversity Initiatives. The Rosoff Awards honor organizations in the Boston business community that are devoted to building an inclusive workplace environment, committed to supporting diversity, and providing mentoring and inclusion programs
The MCCA owns and operates the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center (BCEC) and the Hynes Convention Center.
"The MCCA is committed to sharing our success with all of the communities in Boston who work with us every day to make the city one of the leading meetings and conventions destinations in the world," said James E. Rooney, Executive Director of the MCCA. "We thank the Ad Club and the judges for recognizing how we promote diversity in every aspect of the work we do to bring major meetings and conventions to Boston."
The MCCA received the 2014 Rosoff Award for External Diversity initiatives for promoting diversity through its efforts to draw more diverse events to Boston, its supplier diversity program, and support for diverse nonprofit community organizations. The award also recognizes the Authority's steps to promote increased minority and women-owned business inclusion in the proposed expansion of the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center (BCEC) and the development of a new headquarters hotel to serve the BCEC.
In recent years, Boston has played host to a number of minority conventions such as the National Society of Black Engineers, the National Urban League, Blacks in Government, the Asian American Journalists Association, and the National Association of Black Journalists. These conferences include some of the most influential leaders in the corporate, foundation, nonprofit, entertainment and political communities and attract speakers such as Bill Clinton, Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice, and Bill Gates.
This is the second Rosoff Award for the MCCA. The Authority took home the 2008 Rosoff Award for Marketing to a Diverse Audience for its efforts in working with diverse community and government leaders to increase the number of diverse meetings and conventions coming to Boston. Our chief of staff and director of business development, Michael D. Munn, who participated in this effort, was recognized last year as a Tourism Executive of Distinction from the African Diaspora World Tourism Awards, which is the first ever awards ceremony honoring trailblazers in black culture and heritage as an influence on tourism.
We proudly support Boston's diverse population and local businesses through a variety of community-based initiatives. Our vendor contracts require that a percentage of construction and design contracts go to minority and women-owned business enterprises. Find out more about our Community Outreach programs by visiting the Social Responsibility section of our website.

When holding your event at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center or Hynes Convention Center, you may also consider other venues for off-site entertainment. Fortunately, Boston offers a variety of cultural venues that will add a spark to your event!
Tradition runs deep in Boston, which shows in everything from its pride in its colonial past to its devotion to the Red Sox baseball and there is no shortage of group-friendly venues that showcase the city's unique heritage. Here are 3 examples of Boston historic venues:
Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum The Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum commemorates its best-known act of rebellion—the dumping of chests of British tea in Boston Harbor in 1773 to protest taxation without representation. The attraction features two authentic replicas of the ships that carried the tea, a museum with exhibits that include one of the historic tea chests, and Abigail's Tea Room, an event space with a fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the harbor. The venue can accommodate up to 140 people. View a photo gallery showing spaces in different configurations on the museum's website.
Boston Public Library With origins that make it the oldest free municipal library in the U.S., the current main building of the Boston Public Library was completed in 1895 by architect Charles Follen McKim, who intended it to be a "palace for the people". His vision was realized in grand spaces with murals, oak wainscotings, marble fireplaces and beamed ceiling designed after the Doges Palace in Venice. View a photo gallery showing spaces in different configurations on the library's website.
Fenway Park History and sports come together at Fenway Park, which has been home to the Boston Red Sox since its opening in 1912. Fenway offers a variety of spaces for groups, including a spacious deck above the famous Green Monster and the left-field wall. The many space choices include luxury suites with plasma screens and indoor and outdoor seating. The venue can accommodate up to 5,000 people. View a photo gallery showing the different spaces and their floor plans on the park's website.
There are over 350 cultural sites in Greater Boston, many with outstanding facilities that will be ideal for your event. Use our Venue Finder to browse our Boston venues.
The new Logan Express running from the Hynes Convention Center to Boston International Logan Airport was launched this week. It runs every 30 minutes and costs $5 per ride. Conventioneers will greatly appreciate this new service! Boston Logan is a five minute drive from downtown Boston and no city in the U.S. delivers faster travel times between the airport and its convention centers.
The Hynes is the centerpiece of the 3-2-1 Connect complex located in the heart of Back Bay--Boston most historic and central district. THREE convention hotels, TWO shopping galleries and ONE convention center are connected within an all-weather facility. When holding your event at the Hynes, you are connected to the Boston Marriott Copley Place, the Sheraton Boston Hotel and the Westin Copley Place Boston— offering over 3,100 rooms. You are also connected to internationally renowned shopping destinations—the Copley Place Shopping Galleries and The Shops at Prudential Center—featuring more than 200 shops, restaurants and visitor amenities.
Your attendees don't have to step outside to go to their hotel rooms or to experience hundreds of great retailers and the city's hottest dining spots. Pedestrian walkways connect all of the properties and the temperature of this climate-controlled facility is always a perfect 72 degrees…even in January!
Watch our 3-2-1 Connect video and find out more about the complex and the Hynes Convention Center by visiting our website or viewing a PowerPoint presentation.

8) The Old North Foundation and Historical Church Site Founded in 1722, Christ Church in the City of Boston, known to all as the Old North Church, is Boston's oldest surviving church building and the most visited historical site. In addition to the Old North Church, the Old North campus also includes the 1713 Clough House, one of Boston's oldest surviving brick residences, a chapel built in 1918 for Italian immigrants, two adjoining townhouses, courtyards and gardens. 9) Boston Children's Museum The Boston Children's Museum is a private, non-profit, educational institution that offers a collection of more than 50,000 items.

11) USS Constitution Museum USS Constitution is the oldest commissioned warship afloat in the world. The ship became known as Old Ironsides during the War of 1812 when it fought the British Frigate. It was restored in 1927. Today, you can board the ship and visit the museum, which houses the largest collection of USS Constitution-related objects assembled in one location.

She's Lonesome Again Lyrics - George Jones
(George Jones - George Riddle)
Look out heart I can tell you have weaken
For I feel those heartaches began
Yes she's come back and I know what has brought her
She don't love me she's just lonesome again
For a while I know that I'll be happy
And that's all that matters within.
Though I love her I know I can't hold her
But she'll come back when she's lonesome again
Just like always I'm waiting here for her
Yes it's true I always have been
Yes I love her but I know I'll be sorry
She don't love me she's lonesome again.
Yes I love her but I know what can hold her
But she'll come back when she's lonesome again.

50 Shades of Grey movie casting rumors have been shaken up recently with reports that Matt Bomer and Ian Somerhalder might be too old to play Christian Grey. So could Chace Crawford step in and become the new frontrunner?
Matt and Ian are both in their 30s, while Chace is 27. As Fifty fans know, this is the same age as Anastasia Steele's billionaire boyfriend.
Chace is also at a turning point in his career�Gossip Girl is going off the air, so he's looking for movie projects to work on. According to Fansshare, a recent Mr. Porter interview claims that Chace is under "serious consideration" for the role of Christian Grey. However, there's no mention of where this insider info about the 50 Shades of Grey movie casting came from, so it's possible that it's just more speculation.
Mr. Porter compares the 50 Shades film to American Psycho and speculates that whoever wins the role of Christian Grey could go on to have the kind of career that Christian Bale has. In fact, Fifty fans still haven't forgotten Bale's portrayal of a rich businessman with twisted sexual desires in American Psycho�The Dark Knight Rises star has actually won a few fan polls.
Chace Crawford said that he's a "huge fan" of American Psycho and that he's looking "to do something really shocking," so maybe he's dropping small hints that he's interested in 50 Shades. He does have experience playing a rich guy who looks great in suits, and his Gossip Girl character even got involved with an older woman. As Fifty fans know, a relationship with an older woman is part of the reason why Christian Grey becomes such a big BDSM fan.
So if the filmmakers decide that Ian Somerhalder and Matt Bomer are too old to play Christian Grey, then would you like to see Chace in the movie? Or is there another actor under 30 that you would prefer?

There was a small panel in the one of the final chapters of the Diamond and Pearl arc. To be specific, it seems like she appeared during the distortion of space. To further clarify my point, the background seems to be set in the style of a ranch. Here... here Should this be mentioned in this article? Pikachu127 09:07, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

Hebrew SeniorLife created the word ReAge to reflect the breadth and depth of services we offer: providing world-class health care; building innovative senior communities; funding groundbreaking research; and teaching future generations of geriatricians.
ReAge, a combination of "redefine" and "aging," means to question everything about the aging process. Through ReAging, we are challenging conventions in order to create and implement new standard-of-care approaches that will positively impact the lives of older adults.

"Vine, vidi, vici"
Reviewed by Peter Warrior / Jun 04, 2013
Create and share video clips.
Vine was launched on January for iOS, but it has taken a long time to land on Android. In case you don't know, it's a yet another social network, we could say similar to Instagram, but based not on pics or animated gifs, but short six second video clips. You can shoot your video through the app and it will automatically cap it to meet the six seconds limit.
The great news is that this Android version comes with an extra feature iOS hasn't yet: along the editing options, there's one to zoom in. On the other hand, some features must wait for next updates, such as hashtagging and Facebook sharing. This app is meant for Twitter, Viners-to-be.
By the way, everything else on our iPhone's review apply. This app is extremely easy to use, which doesn't mean it's useful at all. It's a new craze, and time will tell.
• Unlimited uploads and free
• Instantly post videos on Vine, then share to Twitter and Facebook
• Find, follow, and interact with people close to you
• Explore trending posts, featured hashtags and editor's picks
• And so much more
Have questions, problems, or feedback? Reach out to us at @vineapp on Twitter.
We've unlocked something new: new camera tools that offer additional, more advanced ways to edit your videos, and you can import existing videos from your phone.
In the capture screen:
A new button on the bottom left to access your camera roll
Preview videos of any length, and trim them to 6 seconds or less
Upload a single video, or mix and match to tell a story!
Undo last recording
Flashlight for recording in low light
In the edit screen:
Duplicate a clip, or trim a clip
Please update the godamn video editor for Android as it lagd and glitches with your servers sonethin awful. Or at least tell us the minimum specs for Android or, even better, make it for iPhone only if ya wanna do that. But whatever you're gonna do, do something!!!
I keep on trying to download this app but it get to 85 percent and stay. I deleted so many other apps and it still wount download
My password and email is right but it doesn't log in. It just didn't press the log in button
Great cl
Love vines...only problem I had was not being able to upload them

A classical way to see (and hear) Europe
I've always taught what I loved -- and I've always loved music. I spent my high school years as a piano teacher. I'd start out my students with boogies and pop songs, and eventually get them turned on to Bach and Beethoven.
