Jack Brown Interview #77.5 – Kevin Randleman – The Sequel – August, 2013
This is the much-requested sequel to number seventy-seven in Jack's series of interviews with MMA fighters and personalities. Number 77 was Jack's epic, outrageous, and entertaining interview with the former UFC champion and Pride great, Kevin Randleman. Randleman was a legendary collegiate wrestler before becoming a legendary MMA fighter in the early days of the sport. He was also one of the first MMA fighters who became notable for his interviews, and Jack's interview with "The Monster" a few weeks ago did not disappoint. Kevin not only agreed to do a sequel with Jack. He is also enlisting Jack's help for his in-progress autobiography. Please enjoy the conversation below.
Jack Brown: First of all happy birthday, Kevin. Tomorrow is your birthday? You're going to be forty-two years young, right?
Kevin Randleman: I am going to be forty-two, but I feel younger. Ever since I was ten years old, all I f---ing did was bang, wrestle, football. I played four sports so I was always f---ing doing something. And then I got to college, you know, and nothing ever changed. I was always training. For the last two years of my life, being able to raise this little f---ing monster, literally, for me was the greatest f---ing rehab. But at the same time it drove me nuts because it left a big void in my life. That was fighting. I f---ing lived for fighting for f---ing fifteen years.
JB: At forty-two, you're still way younger than Randy Couture was when he retired. And you know all about Randy. You had a war with Randy. We already talked about that. Now with a lot of the guys who are still fighting around your age, we are hearing about testosterone exemptions and things like that. After our first talk, some of those questions came up. What do you make of testosterone replacement therapy? Is that something you've had to do at any point?
KR: The bottom line is if you don't understand what it is, don't look at it so negative. I mean a guy who's sixty-five years old, with testosterone replacement, could have a f---ing kid. He could still run and do the things that he could do, but without the testosterone, he'll have no testosterone because your body stops producing it. It stops producing it after like twenty-five. You stop producing as much of it. As you get older you don't produce as much, and if you're a guy that's like me, I've been to the doctor and he said I was at zero. I just laughed at him and I'm like damn! He was like, "You get f---ing erections?" I'm like, "Yeah. I got no problem with that." But my levels were at zero.
So at forty-two years old, I'd have to say that I would definitely seek some help or seek an exemption because I am forty-two years of age. But believe me that's not an excuse. I'm not going to go out there and do f---ing hardcore s----. I'm going to go to a doctor that's legal to prescribe it to me. There's a big difference between me wanting to be able to fight and train for a fight and me wanting to be big and f---ing freakishly f---king… There's a difference. I'm not trying to be a bodybuilder. I'm trying to be like Stitch's slogan, "One more round."
JB: Speaking of one more round, let me get a couple other questions out of the way, and then we'll get to one more round. So one thing, after we spoke the first time, that I realized I had wanted to ask you about, but didn't, was your knockout of Cro Cop. When you think back to your career and your highlights, where do you place that knockout of Cro Cop?
KR: I have a problem ever being excited about wins because I'm just kind of… And this isn't cocky s—-. I just expect to do better. People have said that I never performed. You know I have a personal life. And my personal life is more important to me than my fighting career was. So everything kind of just overflowed into fighting. And there's no excuse. There's never going to be an excuse for anyone who whooped my a--. They beat my a—because they were better than me that day. That was it. That's all I can say. I don't give a s—-. I'm not the guy that's going to say I had a broken neck or my f---ing ankle was sore. If you are hurt, back out of the fight. But if you step into the f---ing ring, I don't want to hear a f---ing word about who the f---, or what happened, or the story of what happened after you were done. So what? It's fighting! There are some warriors in the f---ing MMA game, a lot of them, f---ing just hardcore.
JB: But for people that aren't Kevin Randleman, they think that the knockout was extremely impressive and an upset at the time. For you, you were expecting that to happen? You feel like that was what should have happened?
KR: You know what, this is how life is. If you're not around successful, strong, f---ing pieces of steel, then how the hell do you expect to be sharp for anything you're going to do in life that you f---ing count on for your livelihood? I had the opportunity to train with Chuck Liddell for six days before that Cro Cop fight. I got to Japan. Chuck was there. I was like, "Man, any pointers?" He was like, "I'll help you, anything." So he literally worked with me for five days leading up to the fight, and like the last day I said, "Can I just throw a punch and hit him?" He was like, "That's it! That's exactly what you're supposed to do." He was telling me to attack the shoulder. And he's like, "That's it! That's exactly what the f--- to do."
And the fight was going on and I knew I didn't want to take a kick from someone like that. I'm on the shorter side of 5' 10" so any kick he throws is landing, head to toe. I'd rather it be my toe than my head. Well, anyway, long story short, I got into the fight and I stayed away, and then I stayed away some more. Chuck gave me every little bit to watch. He said that, "His foot has got to open up in order to throw the kick." He was like, "Attack the shoulder as soon as you see it. As soon as you see him open up his hips or his foot step out, attack." And when I knocked him out, I wasn't even excited about it. Like I was walking around and I looked at him and I was watching him. I was like, "S—-, that f---er is out. Damn. I'm f---ing glad that s—- is over." And I was just walking around and Chuck jumped in and was like, "What the f--- is wrong with you? You just knocked motherf---in' Cro Cop's a—out! Go crazy, man!" I'm like, "Yeah! I'm f---ing crazy man!"
I don't know. I just don't think I'm the best. I don't think I was the best fighter. I think that I was one of those guys that will go down as a great showman.
JB: So going back to our first interview, people want to know, who is "Motherf---er number two?" Is this somebody from your personal life or somebody that we're all familiar with?
KR: No. This was somebody from a long time ago. It was someone from f---ing Ohio who didn't whoop my a--, but deserved to have his a—whooped because of what kind of person he was.
JB: Well I'll tell you who they guessed, and then you can tell me what the deal is with you and this person. Some people wanted it to be, and thought it was, Matt Riddle. Is there still any animosity with you and Matt Riddle? What was that all about?
KR: I think, as far as I'm concerned, I squashed that with Matt Riddle a long time ago with the help of a gentleman. And that was it. I really don't have beefs. Listen, I'm not the biggest mother---er on this planet, but if you f--- with me, I'm the worst motherf---er you'll ever f---ing want to f---ing piss off. Because I really don't give a f---, and my wife hates this about me! If you f--- with me, thinking that you can f--- with me, then understand I don't care about you or anyone in your vicinity. I don't care about you, and if they're your friends, then they're just a bunch of pussies like you. Everyone's tough when you're in a crowd. I walk by myself everywhere I go. Oh, I'm sorry. I got on a tangent. S—t.
JB: No that's good. From what I could tell, people really like it when you go on a tangent. But let me jump in. Let's get to the main point. Are you telling me that earlier today, when I told you that Tito Ortiz and Quinton Jackson are crossing over to wrestling, that was the first time that you heard that they're doing pro wrestling?
KR: You know what? F---. I didn't even know they were fighting!
JB: You just called out Tito Ortiz and didn't know that he was fighting?
KR: I don't care who Tito Ortiz fights. I just think he's such a f---ing phony kind of guy. When you f---ing hear him talk, you just hear phony s—-. It's like he stands at a mirror f---ing rehearsing s—-. I lived the life that I lived. So everything that comes out of my mouth is as real as a motherf---er. And sometimes it will be a bulls—- f---ing thing that I'm saying because it's a bulls—- thing that I'm talking about, but so what?
JB: So how do you feel about getting the same deal that these two have? In Bellator, they're going to do MMA fights, and then they're going to cross over and also do professional wrestling. And they're getting paid for both. Do you want that deal?
KR: The reason why I'm not as current with everything right now is because I've been taking care of a two year old since he came out my wife. She works and so she went back to work. I never got to raise any of my kids. I never was there because I wasn't with the mothers. I really wanted to f---ing enjoy this. And I wanted my son to get my f---ing personality as well as his mother's.
I don't know how many kids on this planet, at two years old, have f---ing veins running through their f---ing chest, their feet, and their hands. And biceps, he's got f---ing veins in his biceps. How is that possible for a two year old?
But the bottom line is, all the things I'm doing, I'm bored. I could easily be in wrestling shape in two months, but as far as being in fight shape, I need six months. I'm not coming back to fail. I'm coming back to win. And if you're telling me the opportunity is to f---ing fight Tito Ortiz, one time in my lifetime? When I said that, "Dana White was his angel," it's because at the time Tito was in whatever, his reign of terror. I still f---ing say, "F--- that. It was a f---ing pussy-a—reign of terror." Dana needed Tito because of his ratings. Mexican fans, he was a big f---ing draw. I understand business, and that's why I said Tito was one of the greatest f---ing business minds MMA has ever seen. If you don't know the history and you don't know behind the scenes, then you just don't know this s—-. But he's a genius in that respect because he listened to his advisors and everything else. But as far as a person goes, man, he's not even on my f---ing level as a person.
JB: Does the pro wrestling part excite you? You were telling me earlier some of the things that you can do in pro wrestling.
KR: I wrestled in Japan for five years. I worked with The Steiner Brothers. I wrestled with a lot of big names, Goldberg and them. We had a lot of fun. I wrestled The Great Khali, the f---ing crazy f---. I mean wrestling is dangerous as hell. Man I really f---ed my neck up twice. I f---ed my neck up twice and needed surgery once because of wrestling. It's very dangerous. I swear I've never felt fear in my life in an MMA fight. I've felt not fear, but I've felt that anxiousness or f---ing nervousness about f---ing taking a kick from Cro Cop to the head and wondering whether I'm going to know who the f--- my girl is. But wrestling's simple. I'm an athlete. I'm agile. I can jump out of a f---ing room. So as far as wrestling goes, I do all the moves - Frankensteiners, f---ing turnbuckle jumps, all that, backflips. The bottom line is you know what I do.
JB: I think that people got really excited about that because I saw that the interview was picked up by not just MMA websites, but by wrestling websites too. So I think you've got two audiences that are dying to see you.
KR: You know, it's funny because I wrestled with Kurt Angle once. He was on the same card. Obviously, he was the card, but we worked in behind him. We were national champions together in college when he was at Clarion and I was at Ohio State. So I definitely have a history of it and I think that he understands that I know how to do some of the stuff. Actually, I can do anything. You give me twelve hours to learn it and someone that knows what they're doing. Because I'm not breaking my f---ing neck to do anything. My wife likes to have sex the way that she's had it all of her life until we f---ing die, and me breaking my neck is not on the f---ing agenda.
Listen, there's a book that I'm writing, and it sucks because I got to keep s—- out of it. There are things I can't put into it because it'll hurt someone's feelings or this person changed and he's not like that anymore. The weirdest thing about my life is that I f---ed up so many times that I'm the greatest motherf---ing life advisor for any f---ing body that wants to be f---ing okay and handle the pressure of a career. I didn't have those people around me. Everyone around me was a f---up. Not everyone around me was a f---up, but everyone around me was doing crazy s—-. The sport was new and fresh. We didn't know what was going on. But I see the evolution of the sport, and believe me, I can't wait for fights four years from now when guys like Pettis… Their style is evolving still. They're like Jon Jones. He's another one. He's just like evolving. I'm fans of those guys because of how they fight. It's a grind and they're action grinds. They ain't slowing down.
JB: I did want to ask you specifically about Jon Jones. We didn't talk about him last time. I would imagine that if you were new to the sport right now, Jon Jones would be the guy who is the champ of your weight class. You'd probably be a light heavyweight, and that would be the guy who'd you eventually have to fight. What do you make of Jon Jones? What do you think of him as a fighter?
KR: Jon Jones is the king of the heap right now. There's nobody that can f---ing touch him. Nobody. I shouldn't say that because everyone's vulnerable.
JB: There's something else I wanted to ask you about. I know you don't go on the forums, but there are certain things that get talked about all the time. One thing that's getting talked about a lot right now is women's MMA. What do you think of women's MMA?
KR: I'm sorry if I made it seem like I don't follow MMA. I watch pay-per-views, and anybody fresh and new, I'm definitely following them. I want to see if they're going to represent. Ronda Rousey is an Olympian and deserves attention. She's f---ing legit! She goes out and f---ing does her business. She can take a punch and she loves giving them. So what the f---? Until I saw her fight with Miesha Tate, the only other fight that was kind of good for me was Gina and Cyborg. But that fight made me a fan of women's MMA. I wasn't up until then, but I'm not ever going to say a woman can't do something. That's not my job. It's their job to f---ing say what they're going to do, and if they're going to f---ing do it, they can do it. But I wasn't ever impressed with any of the fights until this new crop of young ladies have f---ing stepped onto the scene. Cat Zingano, that fight with her and Miesha Tate, if that fight wasn't f---ing fight of the night, somebody needs to get smacked. That s--- is exactly why I'll watch women's fights. I was like, "Getting top billing like that and being on the main card, you got to produce." And I was very happy that they produced because every woman that's fighting in MMA right now is paving the f---ing way. Like Gina Carano and Cyborg, they started it, but now there are some tough chicks. There's more lateral toughness instead of just one at the top and one underneath. There are a lot of tough chicks out there and Cyborg's not just the toughest chick. But she is the toughest chick right now. But there are others out there training.
JB: What do you think of Cyborg vs. Rousey? Do you think it will ever happen?
KR: Okay. I know for a fact that fight will happen because someone will want that fight to happen. They're going to make sure that the money is there for that fight to happen. Dana White has not taken a two million dollar company to a billion dollar business by being a dumb-a--. No one has ever called him that. A smart-a--, maybe, but he knows that if the fans Tweet it enough and talk about it enough and if the MMA web-sites pick it up enough, it's being made as we speak. Dana White's just sitting back, waiting for two f---ing million people to do something. Then he'll f---ing make it happen. Cyborg's going to fight in the UFC.
JB: You know who her manager is?
KR: Nope.
JB: Come on! It's Tito Ortiz! Tito Ortiz is Cyborg's manager!
KR: Oh my f---ing God! Are you serious?
JB: I am 100% serious. He is her manager.
KR: Tell that girl that she needs to run because I saw that motherf---er's double-leg takedown f---ing technique on YouTube and I f---ing laughed my a—off and sent it to about sixteen of my boys.
JB: He's not her trainer. He's her manager.
KR: Tito Ortiz should leave the professional s—- to the professionals.
JB: Maybe she's brilliant because she's doing exactly what you said. She might only be using him for his management ability and maybe she's really going to make out on this deal. Tito won't be easy to deal with for the UFC.
KR: Okay. I get it. When it comes to business, I think that Tito f---ing Ortiz has studied well behind some people. Other than that, f--- him. If that's what she's doing, awesome. When it comes to business for Cyborg, if Tito Ortiz f---ing puts his f---ing personal feelings or whatever rift with the UFC on it, then that motherf---er needs to get fired. If he's a good businessman, then he understands that there's not going to be a rift. He's going to smooth whatever rift there is over when it comes to Cyborg because she deserves to be in the UFC. She is female's UFC. Her and Ronda Rousey, Miesha Tate, and Cat Zingano, they're all very tough women and they deserve to have their limelight. But I'm telling you that this s—- doesn't work if you don't have that tough-a—chick in there to f---ing be there. There will always be the questions. Is Ronda Rousey the toughest one? Is she the best one? She was an Olympian, but then Cyborg's this big, f---ing solid, powerful, barrio, f---ing warrior from Brazil. We want to see it. You want to see it. F---ing Dana wants to see it too. But he's got to have some s—- in place before that s—- takes place.
JB: So I don't know if you know this, but in a few weeks it's the debut of the 18th season of The Ultimate Fighter and Ronda's coaching opposite Miesha because Cat got hurt. This is going to be a season of The Ultimate Fighter where there are females and males. They're not fighting each other obviously, but they're both going to be on the season. That makes me think about reality television and why we have not had a Kevin Randleman reality television experience. Has that ever been something that you've thought about doing?
KR: Believe it or not, I don't like the fame, my man. I f---ing love the money. But we've been pitched it before. My wife and I were pitched it on two different occasions. We kind of talked about it and were like, "You know them motherf---ers are going to be up our a--. I'm going to be brushing my teeth and there's going to be a f---ing camera in my mouth." I said, "If we're in for a penny, we're in for a dollar. We'll have no f---ing privacy in this motherf---er." We talked about it and weighed the pros and cons. We have a two year old boy. Do we really want to have him involved in that s—- that early?
JB: That's crazy. How about broadcasting? You'd have to be on cable because I don't think you could deal with the censorship. But you've done broadcasting before. You've commentated on fights. Is that something that you'd be interested in doing again in the future?
KR: You know what? I would love to be in broadcasting. First of all, I'm a good-looking motherf---ing guy. I'm articulate and I know what the f--- I'm talking about. Believe me, if you want to get rid of the F-bombs, I can take them out. There will be no more F-bombs this whole time. I won't even cuss again this whole f---ing time after that time. Ha-ha.
JB: Ha-ha. You can keep cussing with me.
KR: No. I want to make sure that everyone understands that if you want me to be more intelligent and more articulate, then I can be that way. Given the opportunity, I think that I would do well. I don't have any enemies, and when it comes to business, I know how to separate business from pleasure and business from friendship. They don't cross over. There's no overflow into any part of my life. I got balance right now.
JB: I just thought about something else that I wanted to ask you about. It's totally unrelated, but it's about a guy that was fighting when you fought, back in the Pride days especially. What do you think about Gary Goodridge? Gary Goodridge has come out and talked about some of the cognitive issues that he has. Have you followed that, and how do you feel that you are holding up? You sound amazing, but how do you think you're holding up cognitively compared to some of your peers?
KR: If you ever watch any of my fights, I've never taken any head trauma. The only time I ever took it was Quinton f---ing Jackson. Quinton Jackson is the only motherf---er that ever hit me and I can't remember s—- about that f---ing day. Every time I watch that fight, it's like watching it for the first f---ing time. It blows my mind when I watch it. I'm like, "Wow, that s—- was crazy. I've watched this before, but I can't believe I can't remember it."
JB: A fan commented on the interview that Jackson said the same thing. Obviously, you didn't knock him out, but he supposedly commented that you hit him so hard that he has trouble remembering that day.
KR: He's being nice. He's giving me a little respect. I appreciate that, an old warrior like myself. It was fun. It was fun fighting Quinton. We knew that we were going to fight and we even talked about it f---ing the day that I was fighting Bas Rutten back in Alabama. He was just getting on the scene and we talked and walked maybe about forty-five minutes to an hour around Alabama. I fought, lost, and s—- he was there. We talked about s—- then and I was just being real then. If they want us to fight, we fight. We'll put on the best show we can. We can be friends afterwards. F--- it. That's how business is. And it did, and we were, and that's how it is.
I separate it all, but I just don't like people that are foul. You going to talk s—- and be this tough-a—dude, make sure you're tough every f---ing where you are in the world. My home life, I'm a nicer dude, but I'm still a f---ing mean motherf---er. I mean, I joke around, but I don't like to play around at all. I don't f---ing joke with people. I don't talk about motherf---er's gender or whatever the f--- their preference is. And I don't like motherf---ers that throw it out there. Granted, sometimes I let it slip, and I'll use words that I shouldn't and I feel like a f---ing a—hole for it. Thank God no one is filming it. But I know who I am. For the last two years I've f---ing struggled to figure out what I'm going to do after fighting. When I walk away from stuff, I never usually go back. It's just over.
I was never bored with fighting. It was all seventeen of the f---ing surgeries that I had over the seven years. I was in a coma. I was f---ing fighting for my life f---ing three or four different times in 2000. That's why my career slowed down. I should have waited before I came back and fought, but I needed money. I like money. I love it. And I like hearing the f---ing roar of the crowd when we fight.
JB: That's something that people wanted me to ask you about too. What happened to your crazy staph? Any lingering effects of that staph?
KR: S—t. It looks like I got an a—hole stuck underneath my f---ing armpit. It's nasty-looking. It was bad. They cut my s—- off. They cut all my muscles off. They cut my chest muscle off. They cut my lat muscle completely off. And I had to build that s—- back up over the last four or five years.

obviously Randleman's not a doctor, but he prolly shouldn't talk about "T" levels.... based off nearly every medical treatise on the subject i've read, they typically peak around 30, and drop 1% a year after that....
having a level of 0 and still being able to function sexually is a tad unbelievable as well....

BshMstr - obviously Randleman's not a doctor, but he prolly shouldn't talk about "T" levels.... based off nearly every medical treatise on the subject i've read, they typically peak around 30, and drop 1% a year after that....Is that right, zero T = zero erections? My guess is that if there were ever going to be an exception to that rule, it would be Randleman.

Ha! He did take a little break in there. I believe him when he says that he could clean it up for TV. I'm surprised nobody has pursued this with him yet. I think he would be a great addition to Inside MMA or other AXS TV programming.

My guess is that if there were ever going to be an exception to that rule, it would be Randleman.
it's prolly the #1 symptom for low (not non-existent) test levels.
if he's had levels at 0, then i find it pretty hard to believe he's not under medical treatment for that, either....

My fav line from that interview?
"And I was just walking around and Chuck jumped in and was like, "What the f--- is wrong with you? You just knocked motherf---in' Cro Cop's a—out! Go crazy, man!" I'm like, "Yeah! I'm f---ing crazy man!"
That had me in stitches

I remember watching Randleman vs Rampage in 02 or 03, the pre fight commentary was hilarious. As Jackson put it (going by memory) 'there can only be one token black guy in Pride' and 'this will be a black on black crime'.
Loved that fight.

rob_1775 - And what do you think?
I dunno.
He seems like he has one of the biggest chips on his shoulder i have ever seen,and a lot of frustration.
He also seems like he is the type of guy who would always be there and do anything for the people that matter to him in his life.

Susie replies:
Can you get pregnant if we use a condom and he cums in the condom and then he cleans it with water then have sex again without a condom?
Short answer: YES.
You NEVER reuse a condom. NEVER. Even if you wash it really thoroughly, you cannot use it again. (If, by chance, by "it" you mean his penis, washing the penis isn't a method of birth control either, and will not prevent pregnancy.) And if you take the step of having sex a second time minus the condom, then you are running a GIANT risk of getting pregnant and spreading infections.
To prevent pregnancy and STDs, you must use a NEW latex or polyurethane condom from start to finish for EACH act of intercourse -- the condom goes on when he gets hard, and stays on till he finishes and pulls out. If there is ANY contact between your genitals without that condom on, then you have not used it correctly, and you cannot rely on it to protect you fully.
We have some articles about safer sex and condom use. You really ought to read them:

Police said Tuesday they identified the ninth-grader from previous police encounters by viewing the Winn-Dixie store's video surveillance. The Samsung Galaxy S3 phone was stolen from the Girl Scout during a cookie sale Sunday night. Police said one person distracted the group and the other took the phone that was lying on a table.
The suspect, a student at South Plantation High School, is facing grand larceny charges.
Police have not charged the second juvenile who was present.
In 2008, thieves in Palm Beach County stole $168 from a Girl Scout selling cookies outside a supermarket.

World of Warcraft Starter Edition is a digital download replacement for the 10-day Free Trial. The Starter Edition allows anyone to play for free up to level 20 without the time restrictions placed on trial accounts -- all you need is a Battle.net account and moderately fast internet connection.[citation needed]
As of mid-July 2011, all existing trial accounts, including expired ones, have been reactivated.
Recruit-a-Friend program has been upgraded as a result of the changes introduced with the Starter Edition.
New features
New features over the old trial:
- Players with the Starter Edition can create draenei and blood elf characters, which were previously unavailable with trial accounts. As of Mists of Pandaria, the worgen, goblin and pandaren are available, the monk class remains locked.
- The two starting zones associated with draenei/blood elf races are also available to people wishing to try out the game.
- The gold limit has been raised to 10 gold, allowing Starter Edition players to purchase mounts when they reach the appropriate level.
Most limitations are shown in the FAQ.[1]
- At level 20 you will stop gaining experience until you activate a paid account, but you can play and explore or even start a new character.
- Gold capped at 10.
- Professions are capped at 100 ranks.
- Unable to trade via the Auction House, mailbox, or player-to-player.
- In-game access to public chat channels unavailable. Players are limited to communicating using only
/party, or
/whisper. Player cannot yell.
- Characters will be unable to create or join guilds.
- Characters are not able to send whispers to other characters unless they have been added to the characters' friends lists or have received a whisper from a character first.
- Characters will not be able to invite other players into a party.
- Characters will be unable to disable experience gains.*
Characters will not be able to join parties with other characters above level 20.**
- Voice chat disabled on Starter Edition accounts.
- Realms experiencing login queues will prioritize players who have full, paid accounts.
- Starter Edition accounts are not eligible for character transfers
- Real ID features are disabled on all Starter Edition Accounts.
Notes about upgrading to paid account
From the FAQ.[1]
- Your account name and password will remain the same.
- Your characters and items will remain on that account and will be available upon your return.
- The Starter Edition limitations and restrictions will be removed.
- When you upgrade to the full version of World of Warcraft, you will receive 30 days of access to the game for free.
- With the introduction of the Starter Edition, all Guest Pass Keys are effectively worthless.
- It is strange that Blizzard would include 2 of these in the World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria Collector's Edition, since they would have known they would be worthless for many months before release.

Today the federal government issued and that enjoy broad support from , , , and . Why is everyone so happy, when the idea of regulation is anathema to so many? It's both because of what the rules do, and how they do it.
As a result of these new standards, we will see the fuel economy of the average new vehicle increase by up to 90 percent by 2025. That will save each car buyer thousands of dollars in fuel costs. We'll also see greenhouse gas emissions from the average new vehicle decrease 40 percent.
This represents the single largest step ever by the federal government aimed at reducing the carbon emissions that are warming the planet.
The new rules achieve these important goals by setting tough environmental and energy objectives, but leaving it to businesses to innovate to achieve them. This flexibility means that consumers will still have a wide choice of vehicles in the marketplace.
Let's first talk about what the standards do:
And how do they do it?
By itself, the market can't drive innovation toward public benefits like energy security and environmental protection. But businesses know best how to reduce fuel use and emissions cost-effectively. These rules succeed because they are flexible enough to allow automakers to innovate and align their business interests with societal ones like meeting our urgent energy and environmental challenges.

People in leadership positions in soccer and other sports bodies in the country should be the first to condemn violence and hooliganism in sports.
They are expected, indeed obliged, to keep their interests and fanaticism aside and give priority to the need to maintain peace and harmony no matter whether teams or athletes of their choice win or lose.
Neither Young Africans (Yanga) nor Azam FC, both Mainland premier soccer league clubs, uttered a word of condemnation when their players descended on referees during recent league matches. This was regrettable.
It was also queer that soon after a Tanzania Football Federation committee ruled that Yanga players were in the wrong, the team swiftly lodged an appeal for the annulment of the measures taken by the committee.
Azam, who won their violence-marred duel, meanwhile kept dead quiet as if nothing wrong had happened. It was equally strange.
This odd behaviour apart, we did not hear a word from the Dar es Salaam Regional Football Association, the National Sports Council or soccer players or officials where retired or still active.
It is imperative for officials to condemn such incidents so as to groom a generation of disciplined players taking the game seriously.
Frequent or instant condemnation of such ugly incidents is a sure tool for perpetual upgrading of players' discipline and commitment to the game set to gradually minimise the prevalence of similar episodes in the future.
Denouncing the incidents will ensure the right message easily reaches, and leaves an impression on, making them reform.
The way Yanga officials have handled the matter, particularly in rushing to lodge a protest against the penalties and suspensions imposed on their players, implied that they condoned the misbehaviour or even applauded it.
Condemnation followed by disciplinary measures within the club itself would have portrayed the Tanzanian soccer as a disciplined lot that cares for and lives the FIFA-endorsed rules of the game.
Doing so would have helped in build a generation of players able to keep their cool and maintain discipline even under intense pressure and stiff opposition.
Condoning or ignoring these undesirable incidents will prove costly in the future, with up-and-coming players also likely to misbehave without thinking of the consequences.
Premier league players and officials stand as role models to be emulated by young players aspiring to work their way into national or world stardom.
This would slowly but surely erode the integrity and sabotage the competence of national teams and players of the future.
We suppose violence of the gravity demonstrated during Yanga versus Azam encounter would have been dealt in a different and better way had it been Taifa Stars playing an international match.
But clubs are supposed to ensure their players behave properly regardless of whether they feature for the clubs or the national team. Players' discipline should not be seasonal or rotational.
occer and other sports boast millions of fans the world over and ought to be protected from falling into disrepute. Players and officials must remember that the sports sub-sector is a reliable source of employment for those according it the respect it deserves.

Taggart Hansen, one of the three finalists for the vacant District 4 seat on the board of the Denver Public Schools, withdrew from consideration late Friday night in a letter to board president Mary Seawell.
The search for a successor to Nate Easley, who left the board in January to head the Denver Scholarship Foundation, foundered during a process that saw a field of 25 applicants whittled to nine and then to a final three.
At that point, the board reached an impasse and, after a round of voting Thursday evening, abandoned any further attempt to reach consensus, or even a simple majority. Hansen, an attorney with CH2M Hill, had reached the final three along with Landri Taylor and Antwan Jefferson.
Blog: Colorado Classroom
Colorado Classroom covers local and state education issues affecting K-12 and higher education students in the state of Colorado.
Now Seawell will make the pick herself. She indicated the announcement would come Monday, and that she would consider all of the final nine applicants.
"I talked with him (Friday) afternoon, when he made his decision," Seawell said. "We were talking through why, and why this is right for him. But I was disappointed."
In his letter, Hansen said that while he has the ability to be an effective board member, "the political posturing on display by select members at the March 13 meeting was not only incredibly disheartening, but also made it increasingly clear that I am unable to devote the time or energy necessary to help you overcome the dysfunction this type of behavior engenders."
At Thursday's last ditch effort to find common ground on Easley's replacement, board member Arturo Jimenez slammed the selection process as "the worst kind of fixed gaming" and urged Seawell to either reopen it or appoint Barbara Medina, who had been eliminated in the first cut, as an interim board member who would not seek re-election.
He then refused to participate in the vote.
When the impasse threw the decision into Seawell's hands, board member Andrea Mérida also asked if she would consider Medina as a 10th applicant. Seawell declined, saying that would run contrary to the process the board had pursued for nearly two months.
A day earlier, the Colorado Latino Forum filed a civil rights complaint over the absence of any Latino applicants among the finalists and also pushed Medina as a qualified candidate. Nearly half of District 4 students are Hispanic, 27 percent black and 16 percent white, according to DPS figures.
Hansen said he believes Seawell has "worked hard and in earnest to break through the dysfunction and return the focus to our kids. Unfortunately, existing commitments to work and family have led me to the difficult decision that I am unable to serve as an effective partner in that effort."
The vacant seat will be up for re-election in November.

Declasse is an automobile manufacturer in the HD Universe of Grand Theft Auto. Declasse's car designs imply that its real life analogue is Chevrolet, although the manufacturer Cheval is also based on Chevrolet.
The outer ring of the logo may be derived from many manufacturer logos; the "D" inside vaguely resembles the central oval of the Toyota logo. The "D" also resembles a penis, the "D" itself being the head. "Declasse" itself means "reduced to or having low or lower status", implying that the automobiles are low-class. The French origin of the word Declasse (déclassé) may also be an allusion to the French origins of the real life carmaker Chevrolet. The word Declasse, saying it without its true emphasis, is also resemblance to the word "The Classy", which is a phrase people refer today for Chevrolet cars manufactured in the 1960s and 1970s. The name may also be a play on words of "Dick-less" possibly parodying the belief that men drive big cars to compensate for having a small penis.

- The Print
- The Artist
Jan Vermeer (1632 – 1675) was a Dutch artist known for exceptionally realistic works and a masterly command of light. Originally creating historical and genre paintings, Vermeer's true virtuosity lay in his ability to paint lyrical, domestic scenes imbued with such a sense of dignity and purpose that they transcended the mundane. The quality and quantity of detail in Vermeer's art is nearly microscopic, accentuated by glittering, pearly highlights called pointillés which made his work extraordinarily lifelike. Although he only produced 35 paintings in his lifetime, Vermeer is considered to be one of the greatest artists of the Dutch Golden Age.

They are leading the most important collective effort to bring former dictators (one of them currently a senator) to trial before the Interamerican Human Rights Court. The security of their members is seriously compromised--the Guatemalan government and its military forces are not in favor of any kind of investigation into war crimes. Since 2004, year in which CALDH brough the cases against Rios Montt and García before the Interamerican Court, their offices have been subject to raids and their members have been kidnapped and received death threats.

Toll cheaters consider this fair warning. The Illinois State Toll Highway Authority unanimously approved a three-year, $38 million contract with a private firm to catch toll scofflaws.
The toll authority expects to recover most of the roughly $7 million in revenue it lost annually over the last few years. The deal will reportedly retrieve lost revenue, plus generate more money through $20 and $70 fines for each violation.
Toll way officials say they decided to contract out the enforcement job because the authority is short-staffed in that department.

Tom Kakert
Even though he is just a freshman in high school, college programs are already well aware of Tyus Jones. The 6-foot-1 point guard from Apple Valley, MN turned more than a few heads this summer on the AAU circuit and one of the coaches watching was Iowa Head Coach Fran McCaffery, who verbally offered a scholarship this week.As it turns out, the offer from Coach McCaffery is the first scholarship opportunity to be extended."It feels great," Jones said Monday evening. "I am very excited and happy to get the offer from Iowa. I am really grateful to get the offer from Coach McCaffery."At this stage, he is still learning more about the new staff at Iowa and Coach McCaffery."I know that he is the coach at Iowa and he is trying to get the program going again. I'm looking forward to learning more about the program."Last year as an 8th grader, Jones played varsity basketball and set a school record for assists in a season. He loves to push the basketball, so the new style of play in Iowa City is appealing to him."I like playing the up-tempo style and that would be a big part of college for me. I think I play best in the up-tempo style."One of the coaches at his high school is former Hawkeye Duez Henderson, so Jones, who is expected to be one of the top prospects in the country in the Class of 2014, is learning plenty about the Iowa program. "Duez has told me a lot about Iowa and Iowa City and loved his time there," Jones said. "I am planning to make a trip there soon to see a game and get to see more of the school and spend time with the coaches." ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member.

There was an older sister to Martine and Johan I found on a marriage record. TO same father but I wondered if AnneM. Joh. was his second marriage. I do not have ages for the parents. I think I remember a census of the kids at 12 years and 7 and him in 30s but I dont remember her information.

Thank you so much for sharing this amazing woman with the world through your blog! I recently found the blog through a link (I know, a little behind the times) but love it! Though the thing that drew me in immediately and made reading through your posts something I actually focused on (with the ADD age of the internet, that can be difficult!) was that Amazing photo on the header! I, as it appears many of your readers, HAD to know who that woman is/was. I am sad to hear of her passing, but am grateful to have found this blog to document some of her amazing style and fashion as well as the many other ladies seen in your posts. If I ever manage to be half as fashionable and amazing as Mimi I will consider myself a lucky woman indeed!! Thanks for sharing! And keep up the great work, this blog is fantastic!

- Description
Kreg gives you the right tools to build or refinish a deck with this Deck Jig (KJDECKSYS). Use it to create strong wood-to-wood bonds that will ensure durability and longevity. It's easy to use: just drill holes into the edge of your deck board using the stepped bit guided by the jig's hardened steel drill guide, drive the specialized self-tapping deck screws through the same drill guides and into the joist as the depth collar precisely controls the depth. It works with a variety of decking materials, including composite deck boards, softwoods and tropical hardwoods.
The KJDECKSYS Features:
- Easy-grip handle gives you a secure hold and complete control over each and every joint.
- Handy Spacer Rings ensure accurate deck board spacing for proper drainage and longer deck life.
- Three separate Drill Guides let you install deck boards in a variety of hard-to-reach areas.
- Hardened Steel Drill Guides keep your specialized stepped bit and driver bit at the precise, optimal angle.
- Standard Deck vs. Kreg Deck. Get the deck you want, without any unsightly exposed nails or screws. The Deck Jig's specialized self tapping screws are driven at a precise angle into the edge of your deck boards so they stay hidden from view. Where seasonal changes might force traditional fasteners out of place with time, Kreg screws stay protected safely below the surface, for a longer-lasting deck. By coupling the Kreg Deck Jig with composite decking, you'll get a deck free of cracks, splinters, and "pop-out" fasteners.
- Drill. Drive. Done! Securing a deck board with the Kreg Deck Jig takes only 3 simple steps. First you drill holes into the edge of your deck board using the specialized stepped bit, guided by the jig's hardened steel drill guides. Next, you drive the specialized self-tapping deck screws through the same drill guides and into the joist as the depth collar precisely controls the depth. That's it, you're done! You've just created an incredibly strong and sturdy joint with no visible fastener.
- Works with a wide variety of decking materials. For the best results, we recommend composite deck boards which prevent shrinking/swelling/splitting. Select a solid composite material with no machined grooves. Also works great with native softwoods such as Redwood, Cedar, Pressure Treated Pine, and ACQ, along with certain Tropical Hardwoods like Ipe, Red Balau, and Ironwood.

Typical Kreg quality
Comment:I purchased this jig because I'm going to be replacing my redwood deck soon. I used Simpson deck hardware the first time when I installed the deck many years ago and it was and continues to be unsatisfactory. I own other Kreg jigs and know and trust their quality and ease of use. I closed my cabinet shop and retired 15 years ago.Weird HaroldAlameda, CA

Why the Health Care Provider Presses Your Belly
For those trained in examining the body, pressing on your belly can provide major clues to possible problems.
The external exam with the hands gives health care providers information about important parts of the body like the liver, spleen, kidneys, intestines, pancreas, bladder, gallbladder, appendix, abdominal aorta (the major blood vessel from your heart to your legs), and in females, the uterus and ovaries.
When the health care provider presses on your belly, he or she is feeling to see if any of these are puffy or sore, making them painful to touch. This could be a sign of disease.
Health care providers use 2 different ways to examine your belly:
A diagnosis is hardly ever made from only a physical exam of the belly, but a physical exam can turn up findings that are uncommon. More exams or testing may be needed.
Palpation means pushing down to see if the organs can be felt. For example, the aorta that supplies blood to the lower limbs of the body runs directly beneath the bellybutton and should be only an inch wide. If it is wider than that, there could be a problem like an aneurysm.
The health care provider also looks for tenderness, or pain, that you might feel when he or she briefly pushes in and then quickly lifts his or her hands off your stomach. Such pain indicates that the membrane that lines the abdominal cavity is inflamed. This often happens when the appendix becomes diseased, the bowel has a hole, or there is inflammation in the lining of the belly.
The health care provider can often feel whether certain internal organs (like the liver, spleen, or uterus) are enlarged. The next step is finding the reason for the enlargement—possibly disease.
Percussion means tapping the belly and listening to the sounds. It's similar to the tapping done by shoppers who know a ripe watermelon sounds different from an unripe one. When a health care provider taps just below the rib cage, he or she can hear the sounds made by a normal liver. Similar sounds heard when tapping beyond where the liver should extend could be a sign of an enlarged liver. Percussion can sometimes find fluid in the abdominal cavity. This is often a result of heart, liver, or kidney disease.

Corticosteroids for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Pill or liquid form (oral)
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
Inhaled form
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
|Pulmicort Flexhaler, Rhinocort
|Asmanex Twisthaler
Corticosteroid and beta2-agonist combination
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
|budesonide and formoterol
|fluticasone and salmeterol
Inhaled corticosteroids are usually delivered using a metered-dose inhaler (MDI) but are also often available for dry powder inhalers (DPI).
How It Works
Corticosteroids decrease inflammation in the airways (reducing swelling and mucus production), making breathing easier.
Why It Is Used
Oral corticosteroids may be used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) when symptoms rapidly get worse (COPD exacerbation), especially when there is increased mucus production.
Inhaled corticosteroids may be used to treat stable symptoms of COPD or symptoms that are slowly getting worse. Inhaled corticosteroids may decrease the number of COPD exacerbations in people with severe COPD, particularly those with chronic bronchitis and frequent exacerbations.
Corticosteroids may be useful for people who have asthma as a component of their disease.
How Well It Works
Research results on oral corticosteroids for COPD exacerbations show that:
- They improve lung function, reduce the amount of time in the hospital, and reduce the incidence of treatment failure (return to the hospital, death, or the need for a tube inserted through the mouth or nose and into the chest to deliver oxygen [endotracheal intubation]).1
Research on inhaled corticosteroids:
- Suggests that for some people they reduce the frequency of COPD exacerbations compared to a placebo.2, 3
- Reports conflicting results on whether they improve lung function.3, 4
Studies report that combining an inhaled corticosteroid with a long-acting beta2-agonist resulted in:
- Improved lung function and improved shortness of breath and less use of relief medicine compared to a placebo and compared to either medicine used alone.5, 6
- Fewer COPD exacerbations compared to a placebo.5, 3
Combining a corticosteroid with a beta2-agonist and an anticholinergic improved:7
- Lung function.
- Quality of life.
- The number of hospital visits.
But people who used fluticasone combined with a beta2-agonist were more likely to get pneumonia.7
It is not possible to predict who will improve with corticosteroid therapy. Lung function tests (spirometry) can be done before and after using the medicine, to learn if it has helped.
Side Effects
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
- Usually the benefits of the medicine are more important than any minor side effects.
- Side effects may go away after you take the medicine for a while.
- If side effects still bother you and you wonder if you should keep taking the medicine, call your doctor. He or she may be able to lower your dose or change your medicine. Do not suddenly quit taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
The possibility of side effects increases as the dose of the medicine increases. Side effects are less likely to occur when you use the inhaled form of the medicine.
Oral corticosteroids (short-term use)
Common side effects of oral corticosteroids include:
- Weight gain and fluid retention.
- Loss of muscle mass.
- Mood changes.
- High blood pressure .
Oral corticosteroids also may increase blood sugar level, which may lead to a type of diabetes caused by the medicine (secondary diabetes). If you already have diabetes, it may make the diabetes harder to control.
Oral corticosteroids (long-term use)
Common side effects of long-term use of oral corticosteroids include:
- Osteoporosis (loss of bone).
- Recurrent infections.
- A cloudy area in the lens of the eye (cataracts).
- Thin, fragile skin that bruises easily.
- Increased risk for sores in the stomach (ulcers).
Inhaled steroids
Common side effects of inhaled steroids include:
- Sore mouth or sore throat.
- Voice changes, such as hoarseness.
- Growth of a fungus in the mouth, throat, or esophagus (thrush). This usually occurs only at high doses.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has reported that salmeterol may make breathing more difficult. If your wheezing gets worse after taking salmeterol, call your doctor right away.
Using a device called a spacer with your metered-dose inhaler and rinsing your mouth with water and spitting the water out after inhaling should reduce these side effects.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Inhaled corticosteroids are preferred to oral corticosteroids for long-term treatment of COPD, because they cause fewer side effects. But low-dose inhaled steroids do not always work as well as high-dose oral steroids.
Long-term treatment with oral corticosteroids is not recommended.8 Although long-term treatment with inhaled corticosteroids reduces the frequency of COPD exacerbations in some people, the long-term risks and whether the benefit is worth the risks of long-term treatment is not known.2
Most doctors recommend that everyone using an inhaler also use a spacer. Use of a spacer is especially important when using an inhaler containing a steroid medicine. But you should not use a spacer with a dry powder inhaler (DPI).
Taking medicine
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Advice for women
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

Very cool building! I like the almost higgledy piggledy style of the upper floors.
Heres a little project Ive been working on this week. The photo below is the original model, which we're copying: a medieval building with a basic ground floor and a more detailed upper level.
- Reproduce the ground floor with the arched doorway
- Design a multi-level top with changing window types & positions
- Randomize asset placement: sign, lamps, and roof deco
- Blender render
- Get it done in less than 3 days
irst step: creating textures and 3 meshes for this building the lamps, the sign, and the pikes (Blender). All the geometry was created in the UP modeler. Asset creation took about 2 hours.
Here's yesterday's work:
First piece: ground level + door. Time to complete: 2 hours.
If you look at the arch stone placement, you might be able to see that I randomized the extrusion to make it look more authentic. This randomization took very little time in the modeler.
Disclaimer: I work for the company that makes the modeler. These projects are a way for us to test design and features to see what sticks and what doesnt.
Very cool building! I like the almost higgledy piggledy style of the upper floors.

Thanks, guys!
Heres the first part of the upper level.
(For the rest of this model, Ill be using more procedural modeler features to get some easy variety. Basically, it means different wall textures, window geometry and so on. It has its own set of constraints but speeds up the work. Thats why you see many models instead of one - the renderer generates variations of the main model)
I regenerated it a few times to get some variation. When I regenerated the geometry, the door and window placements changed. So did the sign position.
Also, a couple of wireframes:
Gosh Claudia, this is fantastic! A couple of us here have 'City Engine' which in your line of work it is very likely you have heard about. how do you go about doing the procedural variation with your application?
Good job! Please tell us more about Urban PAD: How is the workflow? Are screenshots available?
So, how is it turning out?

As the other cells are full, Alton Lannister is put in the cell with his distant cousin. Their cell is guarded by Torrhen Karstark.
Ser Jaime kills his cousin to create a distraction. When Torrhen Stark enters the cell to check on the two, he sees both prisoners bloody with Jaime collapsed against the pole he is chained to and Alton Lannister convulsing on the ground. As he leans over the body, Jaime is able to come up behind him and wrap his chains around his throat. They brutally grapple with each other as Jaime chokes Torrhen with his chains. After killing Torrhen, Jaime takes the keys off his belt and escapes.[2]
However, Jaime does not get very far (due to being weakened from his imprisonment), and he is soon recaptured. Lord Rickard demands the head of the Kingslayer in revenge for the loss of his son. Catelyn is only barely able to get him to agree to wait for King Robb to return to decide the issue, but the Karstark forces get angrier as the night progresses. Fearing that the Karstarks will kill their valuable political hostage before dawn even arrives, Catelyn frees Jaime to trade him for the return of her daughters (as soon as Jaime reaches King's Landing). The anger of Lord Rickard and his need of a father's revenge sows dissension in Robb's army.[3]

In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Torrhen Karstark is the third son of Lord Rickard, and also joins his father and brothers, Harrion, the eldest, and Eddard, the second, as part of the Northern forces in the War of the Five Kings. He is named after Torrhen Stark, the King in the North at the time of the War of Conquest.
However, he is killed by Jaime during the Battle of the Whispering Wood. He serves alongside his brother Eddard as part of Robb Stark's personal bodyguard. When Jaime realizes that his army is lost during the Battle of the Whispering Wood, he makes a final push to single-handedly carve his way through the Northern army in an attempt to kill Robb Stark in single combat. Jaime manages to reach Robb's personal bodyguard and kill several of them being knocked unconscious. Both Torrhen and Eddard Karstark were among those in Robb's personal bodyguard that Jaime killed during the battle.
The TV series' depiction of an escape attempt by Jaime, during which he kills Torrhen Karstark, is a very loose adaptation of events in the books. In the TV version, Jaime kills Torrhen because he was guarding his cell, which causes Lord Rickard Karstark to become enraged and demand revenge, to the point that Catelyn releases Jaime (in promise of her daughters' safe return from King's Landing) because she fears he won't live out the night. In the books, Jaime killed Rickard's sons Torrhen and Eddard Karstark at the Battle of the Whispering Wood (Eddard Karstark's death is apparently unchanged in the TV version). While Lord Karstark was certainly upset in the books, he wasn't going to disobey Robb's direct command as his liege-lord that Jaime must remain unharmed (at least because he thought they'd execute him eventually). Catelyn's decision to exchange Jaime as a prisoner isn't rushed by pressure from within the Stark camp, but is rather due to her grief at hearing the (false) report that Bran and Rickon have been killed by Theon at Winterfell. Believing (somewhat justifiably) that even holding Jaime as prisoner is no guarantee that the crazed Joffrey won't have her daughters killed on a whim, Catelyn decides that keeping her remaining children safe is what matters most, so she releases Jaime, sending him under escort by Brienne to King's Landing. Rickard Karstark only truly becomes enraged after Catelyn releases Jaime, because he never thought they'd release the killer of his sons, as well as because it is a very poor exchange to trade a prominent Lannister warrior for two girls. The TV series may have moved Torrhen's death around to make it closer to Jaime's release, instead of just mentioning that Jaime killed Torrhen at the end of Season 1 and expecting the audience to remember this over a season later.
