As a reporter involved in the field of mixed martial arts, I hear a lot of crazy things. Some of it true but much of it false. When I received a text asking me if I knew anything about Jon Fitch having been cut, my first reaction was, "Are you smoking crack?"
I mean, not Jon Fitch? Not Jon Fitch the consensus top five welterweight. Not Jon Fitch the 17-3 fighter who fights for the UFC. Not the Jon Fitch that has gone 8-1 in the UFC with notable wins over Josh Burkman, Thiago Alves, and Diego Sanchez. Not the Jon Fitch that has tied the UFC record for most consecutive wins while competing in the Octagon?
But this is MMA, a sport unlike any other and I've learned that no story is far-fetched. Chances are when you hear something crazy it doesn't mean your friends have developed an addiction to hallucinogenic drugs. Yet when I logged onto my computer to survey the carnage, I still couldn't believe my eyes. I then began to make several late-night phone calls to try to make sense of the situation and wrap my arms around it.
During my truth-seeking mission the most illuminating information in regard to the situation is an article by Yahoo! Sports' Kevin Iole, which included several quotes from UFC President Dana White.
"We're looking for guys who want to work with us and not against us, and frankly I'm just so [expletive] sick of this [expletive] it's not even funny," Iole quotes White. "Affliction is still out there trying to build its company. Let [Fitch] go work with them. Let him see what he thinks of those [expletives]. [Expletive] him"
And as I'm sure you heard by now, Fitch isn't the only fighter to be cut. Heavyweight and AKA teammate Christian Wellisch has joined him amongst the ranks of the unemployed and others could be next. All indications are that AKA welterweight Mike Swick has already signed and is safe. Reports indicate that Josh Koscheck is also on the rocks but multiple sources have expressed to FiveOuncesOfPain.com that they believe that situation will work itself out. However, the next to go could be heavyweight blue chip prospect Cain Velasquez.
Just about all of AKA's fighters are represented by trainer "Crazy" Bob Cook and Zinkin Entertainment and White and the UFC are not happy with the management company's refusal to to go along to get along. White is not a big fan of managers and agents and wouldn't shed a tear if all of them perished off the face of the Earth. Many in the industry have said the UFC simply wants to do business in an environment where there is no buffer between them and their fighters.
The fact that White is now going to war with Zinkin is interesting because their clients have always had glowing reviews about their work when speaking with this site on and off the record. And one of White's best friends in the industry, Chuck Liddell, also happens to be managed by Zinkin. According to Iole's article, White felt compelled to lean on Liddell for some help.
"White said he has been 'beefing with Zinkin for years' and said he had to call Liddell, one of his closest friends, and tell him to get Zinkin to back off," Iole writes.
If that's not an attempt at a power play, what is? It's now on the agents to strike back. No one is happy that the UFC is trying to attempt to get fighters to sign contracts that would essentially force them to give away lifetime rights to their likeness away. THQ's "UFC Undisputed" is said to be a great game and the feeling is that it could be one of the highest grossing video games of all time. Everyone wants a piece of the pie but it's unclear whether the UFC is willing to share.
In the past, the UFC also tried to encourage its fighters to sign a marketing deal that would award the company with all rights to fighter likenesses. The complaint from many managers was that the deal offered limited returns in exchange for lifetime rights and that the managers themselves could be cut out of the deal. The goal of the UFC apparently was to get all the fighters to sign everything over and then a portion of all the income earned from licensing deals would be distributed through a monthly check that would go straight to the fighters. It was a deal that few in the industry felt was fair.
"He wanted us to sign that merchandising agreement, and it was not a very good agreement," Fitch is quoted as telling Iole. "There was not really a reason for us to sign it. The first thing they brought to us was for us to sign all of our rights away for everything forever. It was for very small compensation, and there was no compensation for family members if we were to die.
"We could die and they could make memorial figurines and stuff and make thousands, millions of dollars, and our families wouldn't see a penny of it. The way they bring the contracts and stuff to us, I don't know, it's just not how business is done."
But apparently this is how business is attempting to be done by the UFC on a mass scale and what happens from here is anyone's guess. AKA and Zinkin are trying to rally as many fellow agencies to their cause as possible. I'm not sure how successful they will be in that regard because it's one thing for a bunch of agents to band together and take a stand against a dying company such as ProElite and their top corporate partner, but no one wants to get on Dana White's bad side. For an agency to alienate themselves from the UFC is considered to be an act of suicide. Nobody likes the terms of the deal being offered but thus far everyone appears ready to be bracing themselves to take a bite out of the [expletive] sandwich.
Without a united front, AKA and Zinkin don't stand much of a much of chance. For Fitch, it appears to be too late. I was told that even if he fired Zinkin and was willing to sign the deal that the UFC wouldn't take him back. With 183 fighters signed to its roster, it's cutting season in the UFC with the promotion looking to drop as many as 40 fighters from its roster. Fabricio Werdum, Marcus Aurelio, Jason Lambert and several others have already been let go. But with Fitch, the UFC can make a major statement and strike the fear of G-d into everyone. If a fighter such as Fitch is let go it means that anyone not wearing a title and drawing a strong buyrate could be next on the chopping block.
The UFC's decision to release Fitch also serves as a clear signal that the promotion doesn't consider Affliction Entertainment a threat in the slightest. If EliteXC was still around, Fitch doesn't get cut. But apparently Affliction doesn't project the same level of fear. In order to sign Fitch, Werdum, and or Paulo Filho, it's going to take money. And the more Affliction spends, the closer it gets to extinction. What the UFC is essentially saying is that all of the top ten fighters in the world can't save that promotion.
Affliction may still exist but the UFC is operating as if it's already the only player in town. They've declared war on the middle class fighter and are moving towards purging its roster as many mid-tier fighters it can. Look for the UFC to move towards a business model where if you aren't able to headline a card, then you're an entry-level guy. You're either a prospect or a superstar with no in between. Forget about that transitional contract where you make $25,000-$40,000 as you grow from a fighter that started competing in non-televised prelims to a guy working his way towards a title shot and a headlining spot on a PPV. It's like the NFL during the salary cap era in that if you're a player making $3.5 million, you better be in the starting lineup and making plays, otherwise you're going to get waived because there is no room for backups who get paid like starters.
Fitch and Werdum were deemed expendable because they were making a healthy amount of money and didn't factor into the title picture in their respective weight classes. Winning is no longer good enough. You either open a card or you headline; you either fight for the UFC on its terms or you can go see if the grass is really greener.
Through it all there's one quote that stands out in my mind above all else. It may not be the most poetic quote to end an article on, but in my mind, it is the most telling about the future of the business of MMA.
"…These guys aren't partners with us. [Expletive] them. All of them, every last [expletive] one of them," White is quoted as saying in Iole's piece. "Partner" is apparently the term White uses when a potential business deal involving another entity isn't to his liking. Disagree with the Bush Administration and you're not patriotic (sorry to interject politics into this article, but we're all adults here… get over it). Disagree with the UFC's terms and you're not a true "partner." But partnership has traditionally been a two-way street… except when you're the only game in town.

If what's been said is true, this is unacceptable.
I will openly encourage any new organizations (and existing ones) so as to give the fighters options. The people will soon get tired of management using standover tactics. As they do with other fields of employment.
To think AKA will show a united front is a little far fetched though and not likely to happen. Great camp. too many opportunists.

I remember when the WWE let Brock Lesnar out of his contract early, they made him agree to not wrestle in Japan or MMA for ten years. He was able to get both of those unfair provisions struck down and has wrestled in Japan and fought in MMA.
Wouldn't the same thing happen to the first MMA fighter to challenge the lifetime likeness clause in court? I think so. Not that I'm a lawyer, but just like WWE trying to force Brock out of combat sports for a long time it just doesn't sound very fair.

Dana is the biggest egomaniac in sports, and that is saying something. his strong arm tactics and bullying are going to be his downfall. AKA will be fine without DW, but episodes like this are going to get him fired, and how embarrassing to have to be fired by your best friends. dana is trying to make junie browning appear calm and rational perhaps, and doing a fine job. Todd Beard wouldnt put Dana on his McDonalds application right now. grow up or learn to do business you taint.

I'm stunned by the whole UFC/AKA story but I can understand why on many levels the UFC would be willing to release the AKA guys to make a point. The UFC is the biggest organization and it can use that position as pretty effective leverage to say to its fighters "stay with us and you get a piece of the pie – go see what you can get elsewhere". Simply from this story it appears that maybe the UFC aren't giving the fighters a reasonable enough piece and that some of the terms still need to be worked out more fairly. As businesses go, the Zuffa-era UFC is still quite young and it looks like it's still going through some of the problems that entrepreneurial ventures experience as they attempt to grow.
Sam – I was wondering about the business model that you suggested, which sounds eerily to be to be a boxing card. I see one of the strengths of the UFC is that as entry level fighters grow within the UFC, gaining exposure and improving their skillset that they grow into being headlining status. Now maybe the UFC thinks that using TUF will help create new superstars but that still takes time and fights against mid-tier talent before being ready (Forrest and to a lesser extent Rashad are great success stories of it). In other industries an organization could acquire another organization, license a technology or subcontract, but I don't see how the UFC could do that with its exclusive contract system, other than as it already does with acquiring entry-level talent. I think their current model for keeping a solid roster of fighters from entry-level, through mid-tier to headliner works well enough already and allows for the emergence of new talents who could themselves grow to become superstars.

Why Dana White is right here.
If Zuffa and UFC is going to make these guys into stars (and currently they are the only ones that can) make them shitloads of money in fights etc and build there name into a brand why should they let you leave like TITO and go somewhere else and not continue to be able to use you in video games and classic games like the ones where you NFL team can be joe namath and other hall of famers? Why should they invest in you and then let you walk and get no return? Should ford decide to build a car that can get 200 miles a gallaon and thehave the engineer go to chrysler and take the technology with them?
Think about it why would they want to make you into a star and let you walk and have to quit selling video games and action figures etc

Armingo your argument is hopelessly flawed. I could take your entire statement and reverse it to the fighter's point of view. Why should a fighter work his ass off everyday, sign a shit entry level contract and work his way up, lining the pockets of the big wigs, until, depending on results, injuries etc. he gets rewarded with a better fight contract but by then it's too late and his image is owned by Zuffa FOR EVER !!! He can NEVER make money from his likeness ANYWHERE else for the ENTIRETY of his career, life or whatver. This is a SLAVE contract. Anyone who diagrees doesn't care about these great athletes that entertain us and brighten our lives everytime we see them compete.

This article reminds me of a situation where my uncle came up with an idea for a revolutionary battery, but that his company immediately owned the rights to the idea. This kind of thing is common in the business world. If you don't like it, then start your own company, and see if it works out.
If Fitch doesn't agree with the terms, then he is certainly able to say no, but then has to decide if he wants to fight elsewhere for less money, less grandeur and sponsorship, and the chance of squandering his "wonder years". I give him props if he does just that, because it is at the heart of entrepreneurship. However, there might be the downsides I state above.
If Fitch fades away, who will care about his face being on the next UFC videogame? Absolutely nobody. And the eventual loser will likely be John Fitch.

Armingo the contractis for his image/likeness in perpetuity on ALL merchandise not just the video game.THG developed the game assuming the UFC had all their fighters image rights when they didn't. It's not a fair deal. This has been going on for a long time. Zuffa tried to get the guys to sign a merchandising contract a couple of months ago.
The be all and end all is that Dana only cares about the UFC doing well, NOT the fighters. He wants a global brand that dominates MMA and he's not far off his dream. Competition is healthy in any industry. Monoplies are never a good thing for anyone except the fat cats and bigwigs. I wonder how much Dana gets paid. Actually I don't want to know. It will depress me.

Such a bad business move by Dana. Contracts are meant to benefit both parties, and for Dana to say fuck them, hes an idiot. All the power to the Fitch for not accepting an unbeneficial contract that's clearly forced onto him.

This model for the UFC will (or may have already) peak out at some point. This is just not sustainable. The problem is that if the UFC had a president who acted like a president they could have dealt with this without looking like total a-holes.
Dana is trying to be a fake ass Vince McMahon or something, trying to be a bigger character than the sport and he just comes off looking like a douche. Even if he feels the way he does, there's no reason he can't be professional.
This type of behavior may be the genesis of a fighter's union or an antitrust investigation. It's just not necessary.

UFC is a business and this is how businesses operate. If you have someone in your company that doesn't want to play by your rules you let them go and hire someone who does play by your rules. If you pay someone a high scale of money (169K) then they should cooperate with you more. You don't see VPs and Managers of Fortune 500 companies trash talk the companies they work for. Why? Because they aren't helping the very hand that feeds them.
Simply put it is like a nagging girlfriend. If she complains to you everyday about everything you do then what are you going to do? You dump her! And then get a girlfriend that doesn't nag as often. I would say get a girlfriend that never nags but that is impossible.

Let me see, Fighters who became popular and made money without the UFC.
Cung Le, Fedor and his Brother, a slew of ex Pride fighters who never came to the UFC, and on a bit lesser level Chris Horodecki. So the list isn;t big, but its possible for MMA Stars to blossom without the UFC's involvement. I hope all the AKA guys go to Strikeforce. Strikeforce is the possible sleeping future giant of MMA. They conintue to move along methodically, putting on shows, make money and even have a deal with NBC. Sing all the AKA guys, Tito Ortiz and wait for Cung Le to fight in 2009 and put on a primetime NBC show.

Dana White has absolutely got to go!
Though I am sure he will never be fired it is clear his only influence in the world off mma is negative. There was a time when he was helping the sport grow, but now all he's doing is making us all look stupid.
I'm tired of defending my love for mma to outsiders who only see guys like Dana spewing hate and acting tough. It's so easy to see why a casual sports fan would be turned off by the UFC. Dana has gone as far as he can go in this sport. He has successfully brought in the mma base of hard-core douche bag tough guy fans that would be into it no matter what. Now it's time to get someone with crossover appeal if the UFC is to continue to grow.

I am appalled and somewhat bewildered that people are coming out in favour of the UFC owning lifetime rights to fighters' images and that, in the event of a fighter's death, royalties from the use of the fighter's image would not be paid to their families.
Of course, I respect Dana White's right to use his bully pulpit and virtual monopoly as a negotiating platform to strongarm fighters into signing contracts that benefit the business and not the fighter but I have to give huge kudos to the majority of AKA (boo to Mike Swick for caving) for standing virtually united.
Fitch's points are salient and reasonable. You can pay a guy $170k to fight for one night but you owe them a hell of a lot more for a lifetime of service.

But hey when your the only game in town……..
Seriously folks this is the MMA reality we live in now, all the UFC fan boys who wished death upon Pride, Elite XC, IFL etc.

From the site i posted above:
Interviewer: One of the things that seems to be bandied about in this whole is this idea of a lifetime exclusive rights deal for merchandising stuff…
Dana: No, no. There's no lifetime deal on merchandising. The merchandising deal is non-exclusive. They can go out and do whatever they want to do, whenever they want to do it. with whoever they want to, and we haven't pressured anyone to sign that thing.

"THQ's "UFC Undisputed" is said to be a great game and the feeling is that it could be one of the highest grossing video games of all time."
Oh my…I'm hoping nobody at THQ or UFC actually believes this. A little game by the name of World of Warcraft currently has 11 million subscribed (monthly paying) players. 'UFC Undisputed' likely wouldn't even come as close as the 100 rank in this category.

The best argument here was made by armingo, and neosamurai has a stupid rebuttal. You can't turn armingo's argument around from a fighter's perspective because the fighter did not create the job to begin with. Without the UFC, none of these guys would have jobs in the fight business at all. The UFC is not relying on Jon Fitch to create its organization, nor was it reliant on any single fighter. The fighters did not create their own place to work. The UFC created a place for them to work through tens of millions of dollars, and a lot of hard work.
Those so quick to judge the UFC's business practices should take note that the more everyone tries to tear down their supposed "monopoly," and tries to add to their business expenses by "looking out for the fighters," the greater the chance that MMA will die off. The less viable the UFC's business, and the less profit incentive they have, means the less chance that the business will continue to grow. We have seen how difficult it is to make a viable MMA organization out there, and if you start derailing the UFC's business model then there might not be a place for any of these people to have employment.
Just take a look at how the unions destroyed the viable business models of American auto makers. Blame it on the economy all you want, but Volkswagon and Toyota are still investing in the American auto market, which says it is still a good market if you are able to produce things at an effective cost. But you always have morons like Michael Moore making movies about how it should be illegal for any company to fire anybody for any reason. You can't have a serious argument with people like that.
Giving the fighters and managers too much power at this point could be a death knell for MMA as a whole. It is always the easy argument to make for the poor little worker over the big bad business executive. But it is usually a pedantic argument that only takes surface issues into account, and does not deal with the reality of who really takes the risks in the business, and who drives employment forward.
…And while we're at it, exactly who did the Bush administration call unpatriotic who disagreed with them? See if you can find me an example of this Caplan. And something more than just "well… it's common knowledge," or some other cop out like that. You are a journalist, so give an example for your blanket accusation. The only people I remember calling others unpatriotic were people like Jack Murtha and Nancy Pelosi, who would then promptly hide behind a false statement saying they were themselves being accused of lacking patriotism, though nobody ever made tat accusation. Cowardly and pathetic.

UFC isn't really much different than most other profit oriented businesses. Dana's just a lot more upfront about what goes on.
Go in to work tomarrow and ask for a 2% raise. Say you will quit if you don't get it. See what happens.

Most of the time, I use ready-mix joint compounds to tape and finish the drywall I hang. But occasionally I find myself working in less-than-ideal drying conditions, or on small jobs that need to be finished within a day or two. To keep these jobs moving, I reach for bags of setting compound instead of buckets of mud.
Setting compounds harden through a chemical reaction rather than through evaporation, making their setting times predictable and consistent. And once a coat of setting compound has set up, it can be covered with another layer of compound even if it's not completely dry, which speeds along the taping process.
In addition to using setting compounds on small jobs that I need to finish as quickly as possible — and on most of my repairs — I use them to prefill gaps or damaged areas before embedding tape.
While opening a bucket of mud is easier than mixing up a batch of setting compound, drying-type compounds (conventional premixed muds) can be tricky to work with. They perform best when the air, the compound, and the surface are all the same temperature — before, during, and after taping. They require a minimum temperature of 55°F; their drying time is greatly affected by temperature, humidity, and airflow. In fact, if conditions remain poor after taping is complete, it could take weeks for the mud to thoroughly dry.
Advantages of setting compounds. Setting compounds are more forgiving than their drying-type counterparts, so they offer better results under a wider variety of conditions. They can be used in temperatures as low as 45°F, and will set even in extreme humidity. They offer rapid hardening, low shrinkage, and an exceptional bond that is virtually unaffected by climate changes.
Keep in mind, though, that while setting compounds can be used even in low heat and high humidity conditions, quality drywall work still requires proper temperature, humidity, and airflow. Otherwise, cracking and ridging can occur as temperature and humidity levels normalize when the building is occupied.
Also, setting compounds shouldn't be applied over moist, dusty, or cold surfaces. The same goes for very dry surfaces, because the moisture in the compound may be drawn out too fast, resulting in a poor bond.
Brands. Most lumberyards and paint-supply stores carry one or two varieties of setting compounds. I haven't noticed any significant differences between brands, so I use what is available in my area — primarily Sheetrock Durabond and Easy Sand (800/874-4968, www.usg.com).
Though not as hard or as strong as regular setting compounds (at left), lightweight setting compounds (at right) are sandable and almost as easy to finish as premixed joint compounds.
Setting time. Setting compounds come with different setting times. Five-minute compounds are great for quick patches, whereas 300-minute ones are perfect for overnight drying. I stock 20-minute, 45-minute, and 90-minute compounds, but use the 90-minute kind the most.
Sanding. Setting compounds also come in nonsandable and sandable versions. I use Durabond — a nonsandable compound — for heavier fills and in places where extra strength is needed, such as corner beads in heavy-traffic areas and off-angle inside corners on sloped ceilings.
Setting compounds are ideal for repairing damage and filling large cracks before taping.
Because of its exceptional bond strength, the author often uses setting compound when installing corner beads, which are subject to daily impacts.
When using fiberglass mesh tape, which is weaker than paper tape.
Lightweight (sandable) setting compounds like Easy Sand aren't as strong as the nonsandable types, but they can be sanded almost as easily as drying compounds.
Despite their forgiving nature, setting compounds do need to be properly mixed. The temperature and quality of the water and the way in which the ingredients are mixed can affect the quality of the final product and its actual setting time.
Water temperature. Using cold water can result in a chunky mix, and can also slow the setting time. I've found that simply allowing the mixed compound to slake a few minutes longer than normal minimizes this problem.
Using hot water, on the other hand, decreases the setting time and can result in wasted material. A 45-minute compound, for instance, can set in as little as 35 minutes when it's been mixed with hot water.
Compound temperature. One of the benefits of powdered mixtures is that they don't have to be protected from freezing temperatures. Nevertheless, for best results the bags should be brought to room temperature before mixing; if the powdered compound is too cold you could end up with a lumpy mixture, and if it's too warm the mix may cure too quickly.
Clean vs. dirty water. The quality and setting time of the mix — and the strength and bonding abilities of the final product — are always better when clean water is used. However, I've experimented with using the dirty water left over from cleaning mixing tools and empty buckets, and to my surprise, the resulting mix seemed very usable. Just the same, I don't really recommend this approach if clean water is readily available, because it might make a five-minute or 20-minute compound set too quickly to use; I'd also be concerned about the compound's strength.
A more important issue when mixing is to avoid using dirty tools coated with setting compound, or buckets that still contain a thin layer of the stuff; these conditions have the biggest effect on setting time. Whether you're using 90-minute, 45-minute, or 20-minute compound, it'll start to set up early if you use a coated tool or bucket. So always clean up as soon as you finish mixing a batch: Scrub your tools and the inside of the bucket and rinse with clean water. Merely setting your mixing paddle in a bucket of water won't prevent the compound from setting up.
Add the compound to the water. Starting with clean water in a clean bucket or mud pan, I add a little compound at a time as I mix. Once it's reached the desired consistency — that of premixed mud — I wait a few minutes to let the compound slake and to give chunks time to dissolve. Then I mix it again — just as I would do if I were mixing tile grout.
I use a mixing paddle for large batches, typically a single blade or cage-type paddle, which makes cleanup easier. For small batches, I use a cake mixer installed in a drill; it gives me a quick and creamy mix.
The author uses a mixing paddle for large batches.
And a cake mixer mounted in a cordless drill for smaller ones (right). To avoid lumps and unpredictable results, he makes sure the water, tools, and containers are clean, and pours in the water first, then the powder.
For heavy fills, the compound can be mixed thicker so it won't sag or run. Start thin, then add a little compound at a time to thicken the mix. Just make sure it's thoroughly mixed, and be aware that thicker mixes tend to set up a little faster.
When embedding tape, I use a thinner mix (according to USG, setting compounds can be mixed quite thin without compromising strength). Setting compounds are usually used for hand taping, so there's little need for the kind of extra-thin mix that would be used with production taping equipment.
The amount of compound I mix is based on the setting time and the size of the job. When taping a single room, for example, I may estimate that it will take 90 minutes to apply the taping coat. On a job like this, I typically want to be able to apply multiple coats of compound with as little time between layers as possible. But instead of using a 90-minute compound, I'll mix up two or three small batches of the 45-minute material. That way, I can minimize waste and increase the likelihood that I'll able to apply the next coat as soon as I finish.
If I have only the 90-minute compound with me and the job is small enough to coat in less time than that, I'll mix the compound early. I may mix it up before I finish hanging the drywall, or before cleaning or doing other prep work.
It's important to remember, though, that once the compound starts to set up, it cannot be remixed.
In general, I try to apply compound in thin, even coats with nicely feathered edges. This is especially critical because regular setting compounds are virtually impossible to sand.
Since regular setting compounds can't be sanded, the author applies them in thin coats and feathers the edges.
After the compound has set up (but before it's dry), tool marks and ridges can be shaved off with a sharp taping knife.
When I tape with a drying compound, I lightly sand before applying the finish coats, which removes tool marks and unfeathered edges and leaves a smooth finish. But sometimes I want to apply a second coat before the first coat is dry; in those cases — since a setting compound can't be sanded while it's wet — I use the sharp edge of a taping knife to shave off any uneven surfaces on the set-up (but still wet) setting compound.
For the finish coat, I use a drying compound, which is lot easier to work with when you're doing very thin top coats. No time is really lost, because in order to finish-sand and then decorate, all layers of compound have to be thoroughly dry anyway.
Drying compounds can be applied over setting compounds and vice versa; just be aware that different compounds sand differently. If you're finish-coating with a lightweight drying compound over a setting compound, you'll need to be extra careful when sanding; the softer drying compound will sand away easier than the setting compound, leaving an uneven finish — especially if you're using too soft a sander. And before finishing and decorating, all layers of the compound must be dry.

Ward - Bute is the most appealing to me. If Bute beats Froch my interest would double
Gets my attention because I want to see Ward fight again soon. And I want to see what Bute is really capable of with reputable opponents
Pacquiao - Judah is another one I like and I'd say Judah could take the win. But experience says if Pacquiao ever landed flush, Judah might tighten up and botch the job. But what an upset that fight would be for some

I agree that it would still be a competitive fight. Problem is, I not a big fan of how Zab backs out of an exchange (the swaying motion like he did in the Tzu fight), because Manny tends to lunge when he throws the left.
Zab's left could get there quicker, but he has to be first...at all times. He looked great against Paris, as far as turning him and being first. If he brings that into a Pacquiao fight, then Manny would have to make some unwanted adjustments to deal with it.
true however the backing up with his hands down has improved I havent noticed him doing that a great deal since the first spinks fight.
You are a hundred percent right when you said he has to be first! when he is trying to counter and is second he will be dominated just like the Khan fight. I think he realized he is not a counter puncher which is why he ditched sweet pea as his trainer.
as someone else stated we would get the whole mayweather left overs BUT maybe pac could look better than floyd did?
Remember zab knocked mayweather down in the 2nd and was winning the first five rounds

I voted for the Juadh/Pacquiao matchup because I believe it's the most compelling but unfortunately we will probably never see that fight. It sucks because if Zab shows up, (which he doesn't always do during big fights) he can definitely surprise some people and pull off the upset.

I voted Ward Bute but I honestly think the bets fight would be Alvarez/Lara. It'll be the best combination of skills and big punches IMO.
Wouldnt mind seeing Bryant Jennings vs Tomasz Adamek or Antonio Tarver.

I voted Marquez vs Rois simply because it would be the most action packed fight on this list. I've been wanting to see this for some time.
My wish list is....
1. Mayweather vs Martinez - This fight puts both fighter's legacies in another category imo.
2. Marquez vs Rios - This fight should have happened at 135, but I will take it at 140. Marquez still looks good and Rios brings it. Fight of the year type fight.
3. Ward vs Bootay - This fight has a lot of implications with it. Ward has proven his worth but Bute has yet to have any signature wins in his career. If he's imressive vs Froch then this fight will be highly demanded.
4. Bradley vs Khan - Should've happened last year but I will take it regardless of the outcomes of their next fights.
5. I like all of the fights....but forgot the list at this point..lol

Mayweather vs Martinez at 154 is the fight I want to see. It would give Sergio the pay he deserves and the challenge Floyd would get. Martinez is even more popular than ever and I see this fight happening sometime next year after Martinez beats some of the other Middleweight champs besides Chavez Jr.

I bought c2-03, there is no map application in this phone as claimed "preinstalled nokia maps". how to enable map? And please dont reply by saying "contact your near dealers"!

Here is some infromation from the user guide:
Your phone comes with the Maps application, and may have a memory card with
preloaded maps for your country. Insert the memory card into the phone before using
You can only use Maps when using the SIM card in the internal SIM card holder.
Select Menu > Maps.
You can browse maps of different cities in your country. You can also:
• View your current location
• Plan a route to a nearby place
• Search for a place or specific address, and save it
• Send your location or a place to a friend in a text message
When you browse to an area which is not covered by the maps already downloaded on
the memory card, a map for the area is automatically downloaded through the internet.
Downloading maps may involve transmission of large amounts of data through your
service provider's network. For information about data transmission charges, contact
your service provider.
You can also use the Nokia Ovi Suite application to download maps. To download and
install Nokia Ovi Suite on your compatible computer, go to www.ovi.com.
Network access may be required to find your current location. You may be prompted to
select an internet access point.
Some services may not be available in all countries, and may be provided only in selected
Contents of digital maps may sometimes be inaccurate and incomplete. Never rely solely
on the content or the service for essential communications, such as in emergencies

Please believe me there is no any misleading.
I am very much suprised to hear that you have no Menu > Maps option on your C2-03 phone.
Are you really sure?
Maybe it is best you visit nearest Nokia Care Point in your area.
I hope that there is also new sw available in the Nokia Care Point. They will update your phone and see the result in the place.
If it still continues,please let me know.

Hello Mahayv,
I have already complained and asked two times about this problem.
Can you please tell me if i change my memory card what should i do use maps???/
30-11-2011 6:26
-Insert a new memory card into your phone
-Connect your device to a PC
-Use the Nokia Suite to copy selected map data to your new memory card.
15-03-2012 10:37
04-02-2013 10:51
Yep u r correct. I brought nokia C2-03 but there is no pre-installed map apps on it.....
04-02-2013 10:58
You are saying to download Maps from Nokia Suit. But when I do so it says
There's a problem with opening the map folder on your phone.
To fix this problem disconnect your phone and open the maps app on your phone.
Let Maps run for a while to let it reset itself,then close Maps and reconnect your phone..
How can i open map when there is no Maps app in the menu???
Plz help us and don't say that "VISIT YOUR NEAREST NOKIA CARE CENTRE"

I recently purchased these beautiful pieces from the very successful, A Merry Mishap, at fab. They are made by Jennifer, a talented designer, blogger (A Merry Mishap), and mom. I love this mixture of the creamy pearl and gold. The clean, faceted, geo shapes Jennifer uses remind me of my geology days, but at same time the crisp finish is very modern.
I love these beautiful neutrals, but if you are looking to make a statement check out her shop and pick up a pair in hot pink or neon yellow.

---- — When my old friend Rob calls us from New York City, he always asks, "But what do you do out there?" As if everyone who doesn't live in Manhattan lives on a farm in the middle of flyover country where you have to pump your water by hand and use an outhouse. Living in a small town would be his worst nightmare, because what he really means by "What do you do out there?" is "Where do you shop?"
"Doing something," to me, means mowing the lawn, raking the leaves, stacking the wood, tending the garden, fixing the house, cleaning the gutters, getting the storm windows ready, jawing with the neighbors about how strange the weather has been. To Rob it means buying things.
While Rob has tens of thousands more neighbors than I do, he doesn't know any of them and you wouldn't need your toes to count his friends. He lives in a tiny, wildly expensive apartment in an elevator building with a doorman. His cleaning person comes in every Tuesday. His only household chore is writing a check for the rent once a month. When he's not working, he's shopping. His closets are full of expensive suits and ties from fancy haberdashers. He would be appalled by the 10-year-old dark suit from J.C. Penney that I wear to weddings and funerals. Everything else I own comes from what Sue calls "The Gutter Cleaning Collection."
"What is there to do?" I answer him. "Plenty. We go into town and watch them put the mail in the boxes. 'Course we'd have to get there before 10. What time do you get up nowadays? Around noon? They're having a sale on sump pumps down at the Feed and Seed, and we don't want to miss that. Doug's having his septic system pumped on Saturday. That'll be something to see. Then we all stand around and wait for the latest news from New York on the noon stage." I could almost hear him roll his eyes.
"Well, what did you do last night?" I asked him.
"Stayed home and watched TV."
"And like 85 percent of America, so did we," I said. "The other 15 percent were on Facebook. You want to know the difference between watching TV at our house and watching TV in your apartment?"
"Thirty-five hundred dollars a month, plus utilities. If you were going to Broadway musicals every night, and eating at the hottest restaurants and then nightclubbing with B-list celebrities, I could see living in Manhattan. But if you're staying home most nights watching TV, you could do that anywhere. Sure, you make Manhattan money, but you'll spend more than you make.
"On my way to work in Manhattan," I continued, "I would walk past shops that sold $10,000 watches, shops that sold $600 shoes, shops that sold $20,000 dresses. What do we do out here? I don't know, but I sure don't need a $600 pair of shoes to do it in."
"Don't you miss anything about the city?" Rob asked.
"Plenty. I miss the smell of slightly rotten garbage in the morning, I miss the sound of jackhammers, I miss alternate-side-of-the-street parking, I miss gum-paved sidewalks, I miss panhandlers, I miss dog walkers, I miss spending 20 minutes trying to get a taxi in the rain." I think Rob had hung up when I got to "parking."
Since we escaped from the big city, I would love to say I've discovered that the most beautiful things in the world are the wildflowers in the spring, the sight of tiny, spotted fawns crossing our lawn and the smell of freshly mowed grass. But they are not. The most beautiful thing in the world is hearing that they're declaring tomorrow another "Gridlock Alert Day" in the city. There's just something about the mental picture a junior exec sitting in a new $88,000 Mercedes going absolutely nowhere that never fails to cheer me up.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
A fine pitch despite the blocky start. Start right of The Harder They Come, in a scrappy dihedral with a sycamore growing out of it. Move up past blocks and left under roofs. Get established in the steep fingers of a left facing dihedral. A #0 and #2 TCU give you some comfort in the beginning of the fingers and be ready with a couple more #2 TCUs as you continue up. After the fingers section you will pass a horizontal break and a hands pod- #2 Camalot. Rest up and start looking for thin wires above you. Be ready to place and trust several #2 stoppers. A move up will allow you to place a #3 stopper. Be smart with you feet and pull through the crux placing another REALLY good #5 stopper or similar sized offset. One or two more #1 TCUs will give you a sense of solidity as you crank off the airy last moves to the anchors.
To the right of The Harder They Come.
The whole range of TCUs bulking up on the finger sizes, A #2 camalot will find a home mid route. Small, medium wires.

The kid wrecks at least three cars and they just give him a new one each time? I think there will be a huge civil case, going after the family, on this one. The parents should probably be charged with aiding and abetting.

This aptly named wall lies in a narrow corridor facing the southern end of the west face of The Sentinel. It is about 70 feet high and overhangs slightly. Five established routes are known: the justifiably popular Bikini Whale (5.12a/b), the rarely done variations to Bikini Whale: Railer (5.12c) and Bikini Beach (5.12b), Scott Cosgrove's unrepeated G-String (5.13d) and Against The Grain (5.10a) face and crack.
Getting There
The Hidden Cliff can be approached from either end of the Sentinel, but the easiest way to reach it is to walk on the Real Hidden Valley Nature Trail north just past the east face of The Sentinel and head around its north end (just before reaching the Thin Wall). A well established trail takes you back south below the Sentinel's west face into a narrow tree filled corridor. The wall on your right is the Hidden Cliff. A Class 5 ramp at the very end of the corridor gives access to the top of the rock.

The Cuaron info below isNews
The Cuaron info below is indeed official. TLC received word from sources all over the place (all at one time...hailstorm of owls...), including an official press release from the press release wires. The text Heather sent us, we've just found out, is from ComingSoon - though ComingSoon's text is the press release in near full, the contents of which by now are in large circulation. The official wording of the press release is below. Enjoy:
Burbank, California - Alfonso Cuaron has been signed to direct "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban," the third movie in the Harry Potter series for Warner Bros. Pictures, it was announced today by Lorenzo di Bonaventura, Executive Vice President, Worldwide Motion Pictures, Warner Bros. Cuaron is best known for directing the critically acclaimed "Y Tu Mama Tambien" as well as the enchanting children's classic "A Little Princess." Production is scheduled to begin in England in the first quarter of 2003.
"Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" will reunite principal cast from both the record-breaking "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" and the upcoming "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets," and will introduce new characters from the ever-expanding world of Hogwarts School. The film will be produced by David Heyman, Chris Columbus and Mark Radcliffe for release by Warner Bros. Pictures in the summer of 2004.
Stated di Bonaventura, "We have prided ourselves on fulfilling our promise to the millions of fans to remain faithful to J.K. Rowling's beloved books. We are certain that Alfonso's gifts as a director will sustain that commitment and continue to bring the adventure and fantasy of this wonderful series to life onscreen in even more compelling ways."
"I've come to love all of the cast and crew on these movies and have completely immersed myself in this amazing and intricate story," said producer Chris Columbus, who directed the first two Harry Potter movies. "But, as I've made the decision to step into the role of producer for the third film, I am thrilled that we have found someone as talented and inspired as Alfonso to take over the reins as director. It will be a pleasure to work with him on this project."
"In Alfonso Cuaron, I know we have found the right director for Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban," said producer David Heyman. "He has a unique vision and sensibility as a filmmaker, and an extraordinary ability to inspire memorable performances in children and adults alike. His humanity and belief in the magical possibilities of film and life make him the ideal choice."
Alfonso Cuaron was born in Mexico and made his directing debut there in 1991 with "Love in the Time of Hysteria." His next film, the critically acclaimed "A Little Princess," was released by Warner Bros. in 1995 and was followed by "Great Expectations" in 1998. His most recent film was last year's provocative comedy hit, "Y Tu Mama Tambien."
"I am so pleased to be entrusted with presenting the continuing Harry Potter saga," said Cuaron. "It has captured the imaginations of many people, myself included, and I am so excited to join an amazingly talented cast and crew.
To be able to add my own contributions to this rich and creative material is a wonderful opportunity and I know the collaboration will be a great one."

Daniel Chamberlain, Spanish and Italian
Daniel Chamberlain, a professor in the Department of Spanish and Italian, has been named a member of the Modern Language Association's (MLA) delegate assembly.
The MLA is the largest and most important association dealing with the study of language and literature in North America, and its delegate assembly includes representatives from different regions of Canada and the United States.
"We discuss the challenges language, literature and the humanities are facing today," says Dr. Chamberlain. "I think it's very important that representatives from Canadian universities and Canadian academia be present in this assembly. Canadian institutions are facing unique challenges, and our solutions need to be unique, so our voice has to be there."
Dr. Chamberlain was born and raised in Marathon, Ontario, a small town on the north shore of Lake Superior. After high school, he traveled to Mexico in search of adventure and fell in love with the country, its people and its culture. He decided to stay to do his undergraduate degree in Spanish and ended up living in Mexico for 12 years.
"Mexico in those days was a beautiful country," says Dr. Chamberlain. "I loved the richness of the language, and it was a very exciting environment of painters, writers and sculptors. I wanted to learn more."
It was there that Dr. Chamberlain began studying comparative literature, completing an undergraduate thesis that compared William Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury to a novel by Spanish novelist Miguel Delibes.
"I wanted to develop a literary theory that could accommodate tremendous differences between works of literature and celebrate those differences," says Dr. Chamberlain.
It was also in Mexico that his interest in oral literature was sparked. He is currently working on a project through the International Comparative Literature Association that examines the lack of recognition of oral traditions in literary histories. Scholars from all over the world are involved in the project.

I always seem to get an itchy scalp and dandruff whenever I use most shampoos, even those that are suphate, silicone free etc. I've used this shampoo for a few weeks now and it leaves my hair feeling SUPER soft, and it has a volume to it, like it's not being weighed down.
When you use it, it feels like it shouldnt clean your hair, because it doesnt lather up a lot but your hair feels amazing afterwards.
Its a bit more expensive than I have normally paid for a shampoo, but its worth it to me. Here's to an itchy-free head!
I don't like this product very much. But maybe that's because I didn't have scalp issues. It left my hair greasy even after washing with copious amounts of product. It was too runny too, so I used more than I'd like. It also feels rough until I condition and leaves bits of white that I assume are milk proteins trying to bond to my hair. I'm not saying this is a terrible product. I just think it would be better for a different hair type and audience. I kind of love the brand for their skin care, but their shampoo is a bit of a shame. I *might* re-purchase just out of the love I have for their eye serum and the fact that I know that it is (clearly) very gentle. But I also might try going back to organicare and seeing if my hair is less oily now overall after a few days of not washing (since I've only been washing every few days and I used to wash everyday). I still need to alternate this product 2-3 a week with once a week washing with "normal shampoo" to get rid of oil buildup.
Favourite shampoo! I had an itchy, flaky and repulsive scalp with disgusting dandruff... but this has fixed it. It's nice to be able to use a shampoo that doesn't have artificial fragrance which makes my hands and back itchy from using it. I find that it cleans my hair very well and gives it a nice amount of volume and after washing my hair looks clean and does not look flat or weighed down. If you use a lot of styling products, I'm not quite sure how well it would remove them though? While washing, it feels like it makes the hair somewhat dry but I don't know if it is because it is actually drying, or just lacks that silicone type feel. If you follow up with their conditioner it is no problem. It is a little expensive but at least you get alot of product. It can be a bit hard to spread throughout the hair but you learn to work with it. It may not be the most efficient shampoo for those who do not have scalp problems or sensitive skin.. but for those that do... Get it! It has made my hair look overall a lot healthier and due to containing no SLS it doesn't strip colour from dyed hair as quick. This is the only shampoo I can use and I love having a natural alternative.

I have had scalp problems all my life. The flaking skin, trying to scrape it out with a nit comb. At times it would bleed. I've tried baby shampoo, multiple anti dandruff shampoos, even baby oil on my scalp to try to remove the flakes! My dad came home with this one day when my scalp was at it's worst. And it was wonderful. It smells like coconut and has a lovely silky/creamy texture. My hairdresser also suggested massaging conditioner all throughout my hair and especially on my scalp for 3 minutes which immensely helped too. I think it can be a bit drying on the hair if not teamed with a great moisturising conditioner though. A wonderful product, I'll never stop buying it.
More reviews by andreapirlosnose
This is a really gorgeous shampoo. My scalp is as dry as the Serengeti and prone to eczema ever since using a L'Oreal semi-permanent dye 6 or 7 years ago that gave me weeping dermatitis, and I dye my curly (and naturally blonde) hair black-brown on a monthly basis. So a hell of a lot of shampoos really don't cut it for me, even ones that profess to be 'gentle'. I did give the co-washing stuff a whirl but it just seemed to make my hair lank, and my curls took on that strangely formless, droopy, unkempt-looking quality most notably sported by the female members of the Westboro Baptist Church, so I ended up back on the shampoo train again. I tried endless shampoos, including ones free of all SLS-type agents, and every single one seemed to dry my poor traumatised scalp out like crazy. For a good 3 years now my hair has been coming out in alarmingly thick clumps every time I wash and frankly it amazes me on a bi-weekly basis that I'm not completely bald. Until I stumbled upon this beauty. Lo and behold, I can actually go without conditioner now. When I wash with this stuff, my hair feels... buttery, is the only word for it. Thick and glossy and yummy. And it doesn't dry my scalp at all! Not even slightly! The smell is sublime: accurately described by a reviewer below me as being like vanilla milkshake - good call! And as trivial as this is, (I mean who gives a shit what shampoo looks like?) it's ever so aesthetically pleasing as well. All creamy and shimmery. Despite comprehensive lack of SLS and chemicals and what have you, it lathers like a dream into a thick, decadent foam and you can use a little smidgen or an enormous dollop and still get the same soft, clean, whipped cream-like hair. Two big enthusiastic thumbs up from yours truly. It's more than worth the infuriatingly long wait (and postage expense) to have it shipped over from the other side of the planet. I don't ever envisage using another shampoo. I mean, I admit I'm fairly low maintenance when it comes to cosmetics etc (translation: arrogant tosser who believes they're too naturally hot to bother making any effort) but to feel confident that I'll never bother to hunt down a replacement? I think that's quite an accolade.

This has been a saviour for me. I have a really sensitive scalp, and spent a long time trying to find something that wouldn't leave my scalp irritated. This stuff is so gentle! and it smells like a vanilla milkshake. I'm on my second bottle :)
I lurrrrve this shampoo.
It took a while for my hair to settle into the routine. My hair tended to get greasy after 2-3 days because of the irritating chemicals in other shampoos and conditioners. Clever isn't it - cause a problem and then use more product to try to fix it.
Not with Moogoo Shampoo!
It gentle cleanses your hair and leaves it so soft. If my hair didn't have a tendency to be dry, I think I could easily just use this product and no conditioner.
The packaging is a squeezey top. The consistency is luxurious and so is the smell. Definitely a must try. Just give it some time if you are switching to less irritating products as the hair sometimes goes through a bit of a 'purge' but it soon gets over it. Then you will have silky, shiny, easy to manage hair too!
I have suffered from scalp psoriasis for the past 20 years, so this appealed to me because it is SLS free (uses a more gentle foaming agent, apparently) and because I know what pretty much everything on the ingredients list is. I'm using it in conjunction with the Scalp Cream from the same company. Over the years, I have tried many things for my psoriasis - steroids and other prescriptions, coal tar treatments, herbal supplements, every 'natural' shampoo under the sun...
After 4 washes, I can see a marked improvement in my scalp - I no longer have flakes the size of cornflakes! My skin has not been itchy or irritated, and does not sting on contact with water like it usually does. It's not perfect, and I doubt it ever will be, but this is seriously helping me so far.
As well as a dodgy scalp, I also have thick, unruly, waist-length hair. As a shampoo, I have found that I may have to shampoo a second time (I wouldn't normally), but it does leave my hair soft, relatively frizz free and quite shiny. It is a bit slow to lather, but this is common with SLS free products.
It's not the cheapest, but does come in a large 500ml bottle. I'm not pushed on the smell - think vanilla milkshake (and I REALLY hate the smell of vanilla), but most people will probably find it quite neutral, and it doesn't linger on the hair. Overall, it wouldn't be my first choice for shampoo for my hair, although it does a perfectly adequate job, but it may well be my first choice for my psoriasis-covered scalp.
I really like this shampoo so far. I only use it every other day, paired with the MooGoo conditioner. On the other day, I only use the conditioner. I don't have any problem with buildup because neither product has silicones or other stuff that coats the hair. The shampoo removes enough oils without stripping the hair. Since my hair retains some of its natural oils, it's more manageable and has more body. I don't use styling products, so this might be why this shampoo is sufficient for me. I've also noticed that since I've been using these hair products, I have no dandruff. Every single one of the MooGoo products I have tried have been awesome. I just wish they were more readily available in the U.S.; I have to order from Australia, but they are worth it.
I actually love this shampoo. I've used shampoo bars and other natural shampoos to avoid sulfate and chemicals but I hated the constant coating of my hair even after months of using the bars and natural shampoos cost a lot and smell not so great.
So I got this and I love it. I have to wash my hair twice so that my scalp is clean which I prefer over shampoos that just degrease your hair without effort. My scalp does not feel dry or itchy and my hair is clean. I pair this with the matching conditioner and my hair is so soft and weightless. Now my hairbrush does not have a disgusting wax coating. SInce it is quite gentle, I don't see why daily use would be a problem.
The one thing I hated with other natural shampoos and conditioners are that they smell bad. This one smells like sweet vanilla so it is pleasant to wash.
My hair is quite dry and damaged so maybe this is why my hair works better with this product than others.
Even the price is good, since I am from Australia. I buy it at Discount Vitamins so I get a bottle for about $16 for 500ml, which is really great. It should last me two months.
Overall, I think that the fact that my hair doesn't fall out in clumps, my hair is soft and smooth and I enjoy washing my hair, at the same time avoiding chemicals makes it worth 5 lippy rating.
I am really loving this brand. So far, no product has been a let down yet.

Our 2nd Ice-maker since 2003. They don't last forever. Intact, the Ice-maker takes 15 minutes to swap out. Broken, we wait for a replacement. Ordered extra Fill Cup. Not needed.

First I cut the icemaker off. Then I removed the screw to the wire cover,next the two screws to the icemaker door, pushed in the retainer clips on the bottom of unit, pulled the unit forward, disconnected the wire harness.Remove the bottom of old unit, attach it to new unit . Plug in the wire harness , push the unit in re-assemble wire cover, ice maker door. Turn ice maker on.Less then 2 min. it filled with water. Droped ice about 1 hr. later. That was sweet music to my ears.Has been making ice every day. I'm glad I orderd the icemaker from Part Select, I waited 5 months for a repairman to get back to repair the unit. Wasnt that difficult to replace. Peace of cake.

I ordered a new ice maker because at least a couple of the parts on my old one were broken. I also ordered the valve because I wasn't sure that wasn't also the problem (turns out it was still functional). I removed the ice maker cover, one screw that held a shroud over the water inlet, another screw that held the ice maker to the inside of the freezer, disconnected the wire harness, and slid the ice maker out. I reversed the procedure to install the new one. It was a real breeze! I have returned the valve to Partselect and have been making ice ever since. SO much easier than buying bags of ice all the time!
