What a 60PlusMILF wants
Angelique DuBois
Rating: 9.44
Angelique DuBois is not the kind of woman who makes a guy wait for what he wants. That's because what she wants is what he wants: sex! She told us the story of a man she'd met for the first time."He had me blindfold myself, and I was on my knees on the floor and spreading for him," Angelique said. "We had the best sex, and I had yet to see his face!" From this, are we to assume that Angelique doesn't care what a guy looks like as long as he can satisfy her in bed? "I guess you could say that," said 61-year-old Angelique. "I am attracted to a man's essence and sexual aura. This is immediate for me and must be present from the beginning." In other words, don't try to wine and dine Angelique, who's single and has three children and one grandchild. If she wants you, you'll know it right away. "I am submissive, so I love fetishes that involve a dominant man who controls me," she said. In this scene, Angelique is a school principal who fucks one of the teachers. Is that the kind of thing she'd do? "I've never been a teacher, but why not?" she said. "I'll do anything once." Or twice. This is her second video at 60PlusMILFs.com.

The Two Sides Of Angelique DuBois

Rating: 9.66
"I'm sexually passive. I love long sex sessions where I feel I have been well used," said Angelique DuBois, a 61-year-old divorcee from California (she's originally from South Africa).
Angelique has big, perky tits with pierced nipples, she loves fucking much-younger guys and she has sex on-camera at 60PlusMILFs.com. But in other ways, she's very traditional, such as when it comes to her men. She wants a guy who is dominant and takes control in the bedroom. A manly-man who shows her who's boss with his cock.
"I am submissive so I love fetishes that involve the play of a dominant man controlling me. I also fantasize about multiple men having their way with me in an orgy."
Angelique's friends would be surprised to see...

Kimball and Banner Counties Declared "Livestock Friendly"
Banner and Kimball Counties become the 19th and 20th counties in the state to receive the Livestock Friendly County Designation. Following a ceremony in Kimball Tuesday, Governor Dave Heineman applauds the recognition.
Nebraska continues to grow and expand the Livestock Friendly program with Cuming, Gage, Saline, Scotts Bluff Counties also receiving the "Livestock Friendly designation earlier this year. Heineman says the state continues to build on that momentum.
The Livestock Friendly County Program was established in 2003 by the Unicameral, under a state program coordinated by the Nebraska Department of Agriculture (NDA). Heineman says the program continues to grow the state's agricultural economy.
With Tuesday's announcement, Kimball and Banner Counties receive a Livestock Friendly County certificate and a road sign bearing the program logo. Roads signs will be placed along major highways with existing county identification signs.
With the addition of Banner and Kimball Counties, there will be 20 counties across the state that have received the Livestock Friendly Designation, including: Adams, Box Butte, Cumming, Dawes, Deuel, Gage, Garden, Grant, Hitchcock, Jefferson, Keith, Lincoln, Morrill, Saline, Scotts Bluff, Sheridan, Wayne, and Webster Counties

Does Steve Brozosky engage in Karl Rove style politics?
Original post made by Ryan on Sep 12, 2008
on Sep 12, 2008 at 2:22 pm
Don't blame the whistleblower and excuse the bad behavior of the wrong doer.
The Hosterman camp is engaging in negative campaigning with these attacks. What hypocrisy! I hope Brozosky continues to take the high road.
on Sep 12, 2008 at 2:35 pm
The joke in Mike's post is that it is impossible for us to know. We don't know if "The Brozosky camp" is writing here nor do we know if "The Hosterman camp" is writing here.
on Sep 12, 2008 at 6:20 pm
It is very obvious that the Hosterman camp has started their campaign of negetive smear letters.
I hope Brozosky continues to take the high road. I don't want to hear three months of this, I already feel dirty.

Many people want to know how medical innovations can impact their health. One of the ways to find out about the pros and cons of drugs, medical devices and surgical techniques is to become familiar with peer-reviewed clinical publications. In these articles, researchers report on their findings on whether a treatment is safe, appropriate and effective.
Our bibliography contains thousands of such publications and is growing at a rate of approximately 100 new titles per month. The vast majority of these studies are researched and written independently of Intuitive Surgical, Inc. Below is a clinical bibliography of featured publications representing Single-Site da Vinci Surgery.
1. Spinoglio G, Lenti LM, Maglione V, Lucido FS, Priora F, Bianchi PP, Grosso F, Quarati R. Single-site robotic cholecystectomy (SSRC) versus single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC): comparison of learning curves. First European experience. Surg Endosc. 2012 Jun;26(6):1648-55. Epub 2011 Dec 17.
BACKGROUND: Single-incision laparoscopic surgery is an emerging procedure developed to decrease parietal trauma and improve cosmetic results. However, many technical constraints, such as lack of triangulation, instrument collisions, and cross-handing, hamper this approach. Using a robotic platform may overcome these problems and enable more precise surgical actions by increasing freedom of movement and by restoring intuitive instrument control. Methods We retrospectively collected, under institutional review board approval, data on the first 25 patients who underwent single-site robotic cholecystectomies (SSRC) at our center. Patients enrolled in this study underwent SSRC for symptomatic biliary gallstones or polyposis. Exclusion criteria were: BMI[33; acute cholecystitis; previous upper abdominal surgery; ASA[II; and age[80 and\18 years. All procedures were performed with the da VinciSi Surgical System and a dedicated SSRC kit (Intuitive). After discharge, patients were followed for 2 months. These SSRC cases were compared to our first 25 single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomies (SILC) and with the literature.
RESULTS:There were no differences in patient characteristics between groups (gender, P = 0.4404; age, P = 0.7423; BMI, P = 0.5699), and there were no conversions or major complications in either cohort. Operative time was significantly longer for the SILC group compared with SSRC (83.2 vs. 62.7 min, P = 0.0006), and SSRC operative times did not change significantly along the series. The majority of patients in each group were discharged within 24 h, with an average length of hospital stay of 1.2 days for the SILC group and 1.1 days for the SSRC group (P = 0.2854). No wound complications (infection, incisional hernia) were observed in the SSRC group and in the SILC.
CONCLUSIONS: Our preliminary experience shows that SSRC is safe, can easily be learned, and performed in a reproducible manner and is faster than SILC.
2. Kroh M, El-Hayek K, Rosenblatt S, Chand B, Escobar P, Kaouk J, Chalikonda S. First human surgery with a novel single-port robotic system: cholecystectomy using the da Vinci Single-Site platform. Surg Endosc. 2011 Nov;25(11):3566-73. Epub 2011 Jun 3.
OBJECTIVE: To compare the functional results of two contemporary series of patients with clinically localized prostate cancer treated by robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) or retropubic radical prostatectomy (RRP).
PATIENTS AND METHODS: This was a non-randomized prospective comparative study of all patients undergoing RALP or RRP for clinically localized prostate cancer at our institution from February 2006 to April 2007.
RESULTS: We enrolled 105 patients in the RRP and 103 in the RALP group; the two groups were comparable for all clinical and pathological variables, except median age. For RRP and RALP the respective median operative duration was 135 and 185 min (P < 0.001), the intraoperative blood loss 500 and 300 mL (P < 0.001) and postoperative transfusion rates 14% and 1.9% (P < 0.01). There were complications in 9.7% and 10.4% of the patients (P = 0.854) after RRP and RALP, respectively; the positive surgical margin rates in pT2 cancers were 12.2% and 11.7% (P = 0.70). For urinary continence, 41% of patients having RRP and 68.9% of those having RALP were continent at catheter removal (P < 0.001). The 12-month continence rates were 88% after RRP and 97% after RALP (P = 0.01), with the mean time to continence being 75 and 25 days (P < 0.001), respectively. At the 12-month follow-up, 20 of 41 patients having bilateral nerve-sparing RRP (49%) and 52 of 64 having bilateral nerve-sparing RALP (81%) (P < 0.001) had recovery of erectile function.
CONCLUSIONS: RALP offers better results than RRP in terms of urinary continence and erectile function recovery, with similar positive surgical margin rates.
3. Haber GP, White MA, Autorino R, Escobar PF, Kroh MD, Chalikonda S, Khanna R, Forest S, Yang B, Altunrende F, Stein RJ, Kaouk JH. Novel robotic da Vinci instruments for laparoendoscopic single-site surgery. Urology. 2010 Dec;76(6):1279-82. Epub 2010 Oct 27.
PURPOSE: To critically review perioperative outcomes, positive surgical margin (PSM) rates, and functional outcomes of several large series of retropubic radical prostatectomy (RRP), laparoscopic RP (LRP), and robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) currently available in the literature.
METHODS: A Medline database search was performed from November 1994 to May 2009, using medical subject heading search terms "prostatectomy" and "Outcome Assessment (Health Care)" and text words "retropubic," "robotic," and "laparoscopic." Only studies with a sample size of 250 or more patients were considered. Weighted means were calculated for all outcomes using the number of patients included in each study as the weighing factor.
RESULTS: We identified 30 articles for RRP, 14 for LRP, and 14 for RARP. The mean intraoperative and postoperative RRP transfusion rates for RRP, LRP, and RARP were 20.1%, 3.5%, and 1.4%, respectively. The weighted mean postoperative complication rates for RRP, LRP, and RARP were 10.3% (4.8% to 26.9%), 10.98% (8.9 to 27.7%), and 10.3% (4.3% to 15.7%), respectively. RARP revealed a mean overall PSM rate of 13.6%, whereas LRP and RRP yielded a PSM of 21.3% and 24%, respectively. The weighted mean continence rates at 12 month follow-up for RRP, LRP, and RARP were 79%, 84.8%, and 92%, respectively. The weighted mean potency rates for patients who underwent unilateral or bilateral nerve sparing, at 12 month follow-up, were 43.1% and 60.6% for RRP, 31.1% and 54% for LRP, and 59.9% and 93.5% for RARP.
CONCLUSIONS: RRP, LRP, and RARP performed in high-volume centers are safe options for treatment of patients with localized prostate cancer, presenting similar overall complication rates. LRP and RARP, however, are associated with decreased operative blood loss and decreased risk of transfusion when compared with RRP. Our analysis including high-volume centers also showed lower weighted mean PSM rates and higher continence and potency rates after RARP compared with RRP and LRP. However, the lack of randomized trials precludes definitive conclusions.

PURPOSE: Robot assisted partial nephrectomy is rapidly emerging as an alternative to laparoscopic partial nephrectomy for the treatment of renal malignancy. We present the largest multi-institution comparison of the 2 approaches to date, describing outcomes from 3 experienced minimally invasive surgeons.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We performed a retrospective chart review, evaluating 118 consecutive laparoscopic partial nephrectomies and 129 consecutive robot assisted partial nephrectomies performed between 2004 and 2008 by 3 experienced minimally invasive surgeons at 3 academic centers. Perioperative data were recorded along with clinical and pathological outcomes.
RESULTS: The robot assisted and laparoscopic partial nephrectomy groups were equivalent in terms of age, gender, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologists classification (2.3 vs 2.4) and radiographic tumor size (2.9 vs 2.6 cm), respectively. Comparison of operative data revealed no significant differences in terms of overall operative time (189 vs 174 minutes), collecting system entry (47% vs 54%), pathological tumor size (2.8 vs 2.5 cm) and positive margin rate (3.9% vs 1%) for robot assisted and laparoscopic partial nephrectomy, respectively. Intraoperative blood loss was less for robot assisted vs laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (155 vs 196 ml, p = 0.03) as was length of hospital stay (2.4 vs 2.7 days, p <0.0001). warm="" ischemia="" times="" were="" significantly="" shorter="" in="" the="" robot="" assisted="" partial="" nephrectomy="" series="" 19="" 7="" vs="" 28="" 4="" minutes="" p="" 0="" 0001="" subset="" analysis="" based="" on="" complexity="" revealed="" that="" tumor="" had="" no="" effect="" operative="" time="" or="" estimated="" blood="" loss="" for="" although="" did="" affect="" these="" factors="" laparoscopic="" addition="" simple="" and="" complex="" tumors="" provided="" ischemic="" than="" 15="" 3="" 25="" 2="" 9="" 36="" there="" intraoperative="" complications="" during="" 1="" complication="" postoperative="" rates="" similar="" 8="" 6="" 10="">
CONCLUSIONS: Robot assisted partial nephrectomy is a safe and viable alternative to laparoscopic partial nephrectomy, providing equivalent early oncological outcomes and comparable morbidity to a traditional laparoscopic approach. Moreover robot assisted partial nephrectomy appears to offer the advantages of decreased hospital stay as well as significantly less intraoperative blood loss and shorter warm ischemia time, the latter of which may help to provide maximal preservation of renal reserve. In addition, operative parameters for robot assisted partial nephrectomy appear to be less affected by tumor complexity compared to laparoscopic partial nephrectomy. Interestingly while the advantages of robotic surgery have historically been believed to aid laparoscopic naïve surgeons, these data indicate that robot assisted partial nephrectomy may also benefit experienced laparoscopic surgeons.

As with any surgery, these benefits cannot be guaranteed since surgery is specific to each patient, condition and procedure. This information can help you make the best decision for your situation.
All surgery presents risk, including da Vinci Surgery. Results, including cosmetic results, may vary. Serious complications may occur in any surgery, up to and including death. Examples of serious and life-threatening complications, which may require hospitalization, include injury to tissues or organs; bleeding; infection, and internal scarring that can cause long-lasting dysfunction or pain. Temporary pain or nerve injury has been linked to the inverted position often used during abdominal and pelvic surgery. Patients should understand that risks of surgery include potential for human error and potential for equipment failure. Risk specific to minimally invasive surgery may include: a longer operative time; the need to convert the procedure to an open approach; or the need for additional or larger incision sites. Converting the procedure to open could mean a longer operative time, long time under anesthesia, and could lead to increased complications. Research suggests that there may be an increased risk of incision-site hernia with single-incision surgery. Patients who bleed easily, have abnormal blood clotting, are pregnant or morbidly obese are typically not candidates for minimally invasive surgery, including da Vinci Surgery. Other surgical approaches are available. Patients should review the risks associated with all surgical approaches. They should talk to their doctors about their surgical experience and to decide if da Vinci is right for them.

Two days prior to the pivotal Exergy Tour earlier this year in the USA, the pro women's cycling team, Team TIBCO, had 13 of their bikes stolen.
While the team was staying at a motel in Boise, ID, on May 22, 2012, their bikes were stolen by Michael Lawrence, 19.
Lawrence cut the lock off of the trailer in which the bikes were being housed and ripped off $110,000 worth of bicycles.
"These bikes are top-of-the-line race bikes, built with top-of-the-line SRAM Red components," said Team TIBCO owner, Linda Jackson, at the time when they were stolen. "The time trial bikes specifically are very unique and should be easily identifiable. In addition, all these bikes were painstakingly built and fitted to each rider with the help of Specialized. Having this custom equipment back for the U.S. National Championships next month is also critical for every team member."
Lawrence ripped off Specialized Shiv Time-Trial bikes and Specialized Amira road bikes.
The last laugh is on Lawrence as a judge sentenced him to 14 years in prison on Friday.

The city council need to rethink the idea of building an affordable apartment building in the Hacienda Park. It is not a good idea at all. It will increase crime that is a given! Me and my neighbors are willing to fight the idea! Let's keep the city safe!

We as Pleasanton residents can work as hard as we can to make any low income person who moves into any of these places feel as unwelcome as possible. We can get right up in their faces and ask them to leave. We can shun them from our social gatherings. We can make it known to them in no uncertain terms that they are not welcome here. We can make them feel so uncomfortable, so distraught and so discouraged that they will eventually give up and leave. If we can keep enough of these apartments vacant, eventually the developers will give up, and the units will be torn down.
Most Pleasanton residents worked hard to earn the privilege of living here. We need to organize to and to stick together to see to it that each and every one of these developments is a failure.

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS (AP) — For the first time in 36 years, the Greenbrier resort is not among AAA's top-rated hotels.
AAA released its national Five Diamond Award list on Jan. 18, and the historic West Virginia resort wasn't on it. Instead, The Greenbrier received four diamonds.
The Broadmoor hotel in Colorado Springs, Colo., is the only hotel in the nation to earn AAA's Five Diamond Award every year since the rating system's inception in 1976. The Greenbrier and JW Marriott Camelback Inn Resort & Spa in Scottsdale, Ariz., enjoyed that status until this year.
Greenbrier President Jeff Kmiec and AAA spokesman Michael Petrone didn't immediately return messages seeking comment.
Joining The Greenbrier resort on the four-diamond hotel list in West Virginia is Stonewall Resort in Roanoke and the Bavarian Inn in Shepherdstown.

There was a big welcome home this weekend for more than 100 Delaware National Guard troops.
They're back after a long tour in Afghanistan, and hundreds were there to thank them for a job well done, FOX 29's Omari Fleming reported.
On Saturday, 127 members of Delaware's 153rd Military Police Co. were honored at a homecoming celebration in Delaware City.
For many of these military policemen, this wasn't their first tour of duty.
These soldiers spent the past eight months in Kandahar. Their mission was to train their Afghan counterparts in security operations.
The soldiers are home after completing their mission six weeks early.
These guardsmen will have a lot more time to spend with their families while they're home. They won't have any training exercises for 90 days.
But they will have to come to get monthly counseling sessions and other resources to help them transition to civilian life, Fleming reported.

Washington Times Herald
Washington native Cory Brown makes his living as an illustrator and painter, selling the majority of his art at comic book and horror conventions across Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee.
Brown, 28, says his work has been influenced by the likes of Andy Warhol and Ralph Steadman. He studied commercial art at Vincennes University and animation at the International Academy of Design and Technology in Tampa, Fla. Brown has exhibited his work in major cities like Nashville, Tenn., and Chicago and has had been featured at local shows in Vincennes and the Daviess County Fair.
Brown has painted cereal box and movie characters and everything in between.
He also does work on commission. "I can paint or draw whatever someone would like me to," he said. The cost of Brown's art varies but is typically between $20 and $500 depending on the location.
"I try to have something for everyone price wise and I try to work with people on what they can afford. I want people to be able to buy a piece of art and not feel like they have spent a fortune." Brown also sells art prints and trading cards featuring some of his pieces.
Since Brown sells most of his art at various conventions, he travels frequently but he said the trips are worth it. Through his travels, he has been able to meet and sell his art to famous people such as Gunner Hansen, the original Leatherface from "Texas Chainsaw Massacre," and George Romero, the director of "Dawn of the Dead," and many other zombie movies among others.
The road to Brown's success has not been automatic. "It takes time to get going with this. I've put in five hard years to get established," said Brown. While it is much harder to sell art in primarily rural areas, Brown hopes that more local people become aware that affordable artists are out there.
He is hoping to have an "art in the park" day sometime in May at the Plainville City Park. "This is a chance for people to come out and paint, draw, take photos, whatever they'd like to do. I just want to get people thinking about and taking an interest art of all kinds." Anyone will welcome to attend the event and other artists will be invited as well.
That doesn't mean locals have to travel far to purchase his work. He will have his art available for purchase at the Daviess County Fair June 21-29 where he will also be raffling one of his pieces. Brown will also have a booth at the "Days of the Dead" convention in Indianapolis July 5 -7. He is always looking for places to display his work as well.
For more information on Brown's art or to view his work, visit his Facebook page or cbgrfix.com.

Oysters thrive in the brackish waters of Aransas Bay, and the people of Aransas Bay thrive on oysters.

These days, Texas is practically synonymous with the oil business. But the industry was very new in 1901, when drillers tapped the Spindletop oilfield near Beaumont and set off the petroleum age.
I'll confess that I have never been a big zoo fan—until recently, that is. I blame the small, sad zoos that I visited as a kid, where skinny, world-weary animals paced in tight quarters. Thankfully, matters have changed dramatically since then, as I discovered during a recent trip to Houston.
A longtime hub for innovation in energy and medicine, Houston has come into its own as a vacation destination in recent years.
To see south Texas in its natural state and how the Rio Grande Valley looked before it was cut into farms and cities, you've got to travel to the state's southernmost tip. Here, on the bank of the once-mighty river, you'll find the last remaining stand of original Texas Sabal palm trees, one of only two palm species native to Texas.
The bloody American conflict didn't reduce demand for southern cotton at textile mills in places like England, France, and even New England. In return, the Confederacy's cotton exports financed its war effort, supplying Rebel armies with imported guns, ammunition, swords, uniforms, and accouterments far beyond what limited Southern industry could produce. To squelch the trade, and hopefully shorten the war, the Union established blockades along the Gulf Coast, pushing foreign ships to seek ports free of interference. They found them at Texas' southernmost tip—the destination of southbound wagons on the "cotton road."
Each year the hectic pace of the holiday season takes me captive, rendering the days between Thanksgiving and New Year's a breathless sprint devoid of their supposedly inherent jaoy. Every year I vow to change things the next go-round—to shop earlier, do less, enjoy more. So last December, my husband, Matt, children (Caleb, Madi, and Esther), and I took a drastic approach to carving serenity from the holiday chaos: We shoved the entirety of our to-do list to the side (even skipping Christmas-play rehearsal) and embarked on a weekend getaway to a purported winter wonderland, The Woodlands.
The woman at the next table whispered something to me. "Anchovy paste," she said.

I'm not going to be charitable here - UFC 161 wasn't a good card. Sure, it had some good moments. And I'm not the type to hate on a card simply because a lot of fights went to decision. But let's face it - some horrible fights really dragged down the rest of the event. The main and co-main were decent fights, and Alexis Davis vs. Rosi Sexton really impressed me. Shawn Jordan delivered too. But Jake Shields and Tyron Woodley did a good job of killing all the atmosphere in the featured prelim, and Ryan Jimmo one-upped them by killing any momentum the main card had. I might feel differently about the card after some reflection time, but right now I'm pretty disappointed that I shelled out coin for that.
Anyway, onto the winners and losers.
Rashad Evans - There's no point in downplaying it - this win saved Rashad's light heavyweight career. If two judges went with Hendo, we'd likely see Rashad at 185 pounds the next time he stepped into the octagon. Alas, he got the nod and picked up another big win. He desperately needed this after the loss to Antonio Rogerio Nogueira, but I'm not really sure if this is going to bump him up as much as he thinks it will. His ultimate goal is another shot at the title, but is anyone really interested in that? Even if Alexander Gustafsson somehow upsets Jon Jones, is Rashad at the front of the line for a shot? No. He needs at least one more marquee win for people to get behind him again. And the guy he likely faces next (Glover Teixeira) is a no-win situation for him.
Stipe Miocic - Well, I didn't see that coming. That was, by far, the best Miocic we've seen in the UFC. He gameplanned well, picked his spots, and totally dominated an ill-prepared Big Country. It's easy to say that Nelson wasn't mentally there, or didn't have enough time to prepare. But those are copouts. Miocic beat the brakes off of him and didn't show any of the porous striking defense I've seen in other fights. The man is now a top-10 heavyweight in the UFC. Can't get much better than that for a night's work.
Rosi Sexton - Yes, she lost. And yes, you might be confused as to why she's gracing my list. Well, she's here because Rosi impressed the hell out of me tonight. She's a natural flyweight that was in there with a legit top-five 135-pounder, and she held her own. In fact, she beat the crap out of Davis. Stuck in a triangle? Screw that, let's just punch her in the grill for a while. A black belt has your back? Who cares, I'll spin back into guard and punch her in the face some more. Don't get me wrong - I'm a big Alexis Davis fan (Canada!) and she deserved the W for her efforts. But I thought Sexton was going to get steamrolled by a bigger fighter, and she didn't at all. She has more heart than a lot of male fighters twice her size. How can you not respect that?
Shawn Jordan - It's not like Pat Barry has an iron chin or anything. But that was an extremely impressive performance from Jordan. After the feel-out process, he just caught him and finished him in under a minute. He's now 3-1 in the UFC and while I don't exactly see him standing across from a top-five fighter anytime soon, he has now established himself as an upper-tier guy in a featured division. Not bad for 59 seconds of cage time.
James Krause - There's no way to spin his performance against Stout into a negative. The man is simply a completely different fighter than the one that got worked by Donald Cerrone in the WEC four years ago. He uses his size and reach so much more effectively now. He fought a brilliant fight against a great kickboxer, and he got 100k in bonus money for his efforts. Hats off to him, and I hope he can keep it up in a stacked division. I'll certainly be paying more attention to his next fight.
Dan Henderson - Two split decision losses in a row has to be incredibly frustrating. At 42, this loss probably eliminates him from any sort of title contendership. And when you're 42, what else are you fighting for? Paychecks are great and all that, but it's not like Hendo is hurting for coin. Unless they put a legitimately interesting challenge in front of him next time out, I'd probably find it pretty hard to get motivated if I was in Henderson's shoes. He just fell out of the top 5, so what is he supposed to get up for? A bout with Ryan Bader or someone similar? Hendo isn't going to retire, but I don't think he's going to be in a big rush to fight again unless the landscape of the division changes.
Roy Nelson - I think this one is pretty obvious. His contract demands just went in the shitter, for a lack of a better term. He gambled and lost. Roy clearly thought that if he took the short-notice fight and beat Miocic, the UFC would open their pocketbooks and reward the guy that just fought ten times on a horrible TUF contract. Instead, he got blown out by a prospect and now has to bargain from a horrible position. Will he move onto Bellator or somewhere that his name value might earn him some extra money? I don't know. What I do know is that Roy and his agent Mike Kogan just got introduced to what's known as a worst-case scenario.
Tyron Woodley - I hated everything about his fight with Shields. First off, he showed zero aggression for the first 10 minutes. I was really surprised when Dana White was crying robbery because it didn't make any sense. Was Shields blowing him away? Of course not. But he was using some volume striking, however ineffective, to take the first two rounds while Woodley looked overly cautious. I also hated Woodley's corner pumping up the fact that he just needs to land the right once to put Shields away, because it led him to throw it with zero setup and it always missed. The performance was just bad, and there's no way that Woodley deserved the decision in my eyes.
Sam Stout - He hadn't been finished in seven years, and a guy making his UFC debut chokes him out with no time left on the clock? That's not good. For all of the accolades and bonuses that Stout gets, he's 8-8 in the UFC. That's not that great, and it's pretty clear that he's a middling UFC lightweight. It's going to be pretty tough to get past that label after what happened last night.

Carol, Graham, & dog Henry (Club Member) stayed Apr 2014 This review is for Longbank Farm The owner/manager, Caroline Chrisp, is very welcoming, helpful, and easily contactable by mobile. Access to the site is good, via a wide, flat concrete track from the road, running straight past a couple of barns to the original barn yard, entering at the lower right hand corner of the yard. The yard is the hard-standing area, covered in crushed dark grey/black stone. Behind to one's left on entering is the rear of various farm buildings. To the left, the black painted wall of a barn. To the right, a wide grass verge, which runs forward to the small grass area beyond. On said grass verge stands a wooden hut divided in two, which contains in one side the loo and washbasin with cold water tap; and in its other side, the excellent information booth. Ahead, through an open gateway flanked by original stone gate posts is the grassed area which slopes gently upwards. The site is totally open and exposed, with the sea visible in the distance.Two sides are enclosed by very low stone walls; the other two by higher rail fencing. In the surrounding paddocks, horses graze, and come up to the fence/walls occasionally. A small flock of geese is in residence and sometimes wanders through. The ground is clay and in some areas after heavy rain, kit risks sinkage and car wheels can spin. However, grass seems firmer on the side by the hut. Hook-up stanchions are on the hard-standing area. However it is possible to pitch on the grass and still hook-up over the low wall if wanted. The loo was always spotlessly clean; ditto the handbasin and hand towel. Plenty to see in the area. Towing: Easy Location: Country Suitable For: Active break,Peaceful break,Younger couples Friendliness: 5 Cleanliness: 5 Facilities: 4 Expand review Recommended: yes 5 Excellent site to visit the surrounding areas of castles and attractions etc. Pwoodhead (Club Member) stayed May 2013 This review is for Longbank Farm Excellent site to visit the surrounding areas of castles and attractions etc. 5 miles approx to Alnwick , approx 25 to bamburgh . Coastal route is very good, loads of stop off places. Nothing much in longhoughton , if you want a meal or a few pub drinks you have to drive really otherwise it's a very good walk and once you get a few hundred yards from the centre of any of the rural villages there are no footpaths. The site is very clean and tidy. Caroline looks after it very well. On arrival there is a note saying pitch anywhere available. The toilet block is a wooden garden shed but very nicely done. It's split in 2. One side is a toilet with sink, other is an information section. As mentioned by previous poster, the only gripe which we all found annoying was the light timer . You have to press a switch by the door for the lights, but after 30 seconds it turns off. You have to press it again. But if your sat on the throne and the light goes off you can't reach the switch without getting off. So basically your on and off. Needs setting to 2 mins. I nearly knocked a star off for the timer but haven't got the heart to do that over a timer, can't fault the site apart from that. You get a farm feel if you like that sort of thing. Geese are roaming around , horses are just over the fence.

The bus stop is just a 10 minute walk from the site making coast walks both North and South from the site wonderful as we didn't have to walk back alongside country lanes. Toilet clean but be warned, you need to take a torch in with you, the time delay off switch is very short.

Irene and Arnold Graham (Club Member) stayed Jul 2012 This review is for Longbank Farm This is a lovely site in a beautiful location with a view of the sea. The grass is level, well-drained and well cared-for. We were in a tent and as it is an open site without any shelter apart from a dry stone wall, we suffered a bit from the high winds for a couple of days. However, the easy access to beautiful sandy beaches, wonderful rolling countryside and the nearness to Alnwick (10 minute drive) with it's market-town attractions and Alnwick Garden, more than made up for the slight discomfort of the weather. The owners are delightful - friendly and welcoming. All in all, a very pleasant stay. We will definitely return.

Naomi Campbell's Driver Regrets Involving NYPD
The driver who accused supermodel Naomi Campbell of assaulting him from the backseat of an SUV says he regrets his decision to get police involved.
Miodrag Mejidna, 27, said through his lawyer Thursday afternoon, the incident was "blown out of proportion" and he wants to apologize to Campbell "for causing that to happen."
Campbell issued a statement saying she was pleased Mejdina had apologized and she wanted to put the incident behind her.
Law enforcement officials say Campbell got into an altercation with chauffeur Miodrag Mejdina and proceeded to slap and punch him from the back seat Tuesday afternoon. Mejdina, of Queens, was hired for the day to drive the model from her Midtown hotel to the Astoria section of Queens.
Mejdina says during the attack Campbell struck the steering wheel, causing bruising under his right eye.
It is not clear what exactly sparked the assault.
Mejdina pulled over the black Cadillac Escalade near 58th Street and Second Avenue where he called 911. He claims the 39-year-old model jumped out of the car and took off.
This isn't the first time Campbell has been accused of attacking one of her employees.
In March 2005, she allegedly slapped her assistant Amanda Brack and beat her with a BlackBerry. That same year, an Italian actress claimed Campbell left her "covered in blood" following an altercation at a Rome hotel. The fight was reportedly sparked over a dress the actress had wanted to wear.
In March 2006, New York City police took Campbell into custody for allegedly assaulting a house keeper with a cell phone. The victim had apparently suffered injuries to her head that required several stitches.
Campbell pleaded guilty on Jan. 16, 2007, to a charge of reckless assault against her housekeeper Ana Scolavino. She was sentenced to five days community service and ordered to attend two days at an anger management course.
That following April, Campbell was reportedly arrested inside Heathrow airport for allegedly beating a cop after one of her bags had been lost.Copyright © 2014, The Morning Call

Watford defender Adam Thompson set to join Southend United permanently
Updated 5:54pm Tuesday 7th January 2014 in Sport By Frank Smith, Deputy Group Sports Editor
Watford defender Adam Thompson is set to sign for Southend United permanently today.
Thompson has made 11 appearances for The Shrimpers since he joined the club on loan at the start of the season.
The 21-year-old's Watford contract will expire in the summer and, with the club deciding not to give the player a squad number this season, they were open to the move.
Saturday's 4-1 victory over Millwall was the last game of Thompson's Southend loan but after the match manager Phil Brown confirmed he had spoken to the Hornets about signing the defender permanently.
Thompson broke into the Watford first team as a 17-year-old and made 11 outings as a second-year scholar.
Loan spells at Brentford, Wycombe Wanderers and Barnet were to follow in the coming seasons before he linked up with Southend in the summer.
In total, Thompson has made 16 appearances for Watford since making his debut three years ago.

NORMAL, Ill. -- The 83rd annual Jacee's Christmas Parade had everyone's favorite, including Darth Vadar, the ISU Marching Band, and the "Mean One" Mr. Grinch.
But the Grinch isn't stealing anyone's Christmas this year if McLean County Toys for Tots Coordinator Matt Drat has anything to do with it.
"We're only about one third of the way to our goal of 20,000 toys and gifts so we are out here today really making sure the people of Bloomington Normal and McLean County understand the need that the Marine Corps Toys for Tots program has this holiday season," said Drat.
The Marine Corps Toys for Tots made their final campaign push to collect toys during the parade.
They asked everyone to bring a toy to donate during the annual march, something many followed up on.
"The kids are very excited. We let them go shopping yesterday to pick out a few things for kids and we explain to them some kids might not get everything they want for Christmas so they are excited to share the toys today," said Normal resident Jennifer Whitman.
"I think it's really important, you got kids who, otherwise might not get something so it's really good. It's a real good cause it's nice to show him it's nice to give to other people, this time of year especially," said Normal resident Ray Morris.
The parade stretched from Kingsley Junior High in Normal to downtown Bloomington, with Toys for Tots filling their truck to give every child a special Christmas morning.
"We're wanting to make sure that the kids in McLean County don't have to experience that thing. And they can wake up on Christmas morning and know that someone cared about them and Santa is real," said Drat.
There are over 100 drop locations throughout McLean County.
People can find the closest drop location to them online at toysfortots.org.
McLean's Toys for Tots collection goes until December 17.

'Prince of Broadway' Director Sean Baker on No-Budget Filmmaking, Improvisation, and Long Release Cycles
Touching and darkly hilarious, Sean Baker's second feature Prince of Broadway is about a scrappy knockoff peddler in midtown Manhattan who faces an unexpected paternity dilemma. Prince was released on DVD today and is one of my favorite low budget films from the past few years. In the following interview, Sean and I talk about about no-budget filmmaking, on-set improvisation, and interminable release cycles. Here's the trailer: More »

All things considered, it hasn't been that quiet an offseason for the Pittsburgh Pirates. They lost a handful of Pirates-y free agents. They added Rod Barajas. They added Clint Barmes. They added Nate McLouth. They added Erik Bedard. They added Yamaico Navarro. They added Casey McGehee. And other stuff. The Pirates have kept busy.
But while the Pirates' offseason hasn't been quiet, it could've been louder. Recently, reports emerged that the Pirates offered Edwin Jackson a three-year contract. Other reports said the Pirates expressed interest in Roy Oswalt. Jackson turned the Pirates down, signing with the Washington Nationals for a year. Oswalt also turned the Pirates down, before talks could even go anywhere. He remains unsigned.
Incidentally, things like this are why off-seasons can be so hard to evaluate. Say you're a fan of a team, and you're frustrated with your team's front office for its winter inactivity. Who's to say how active the front office really was? Who's to say which moves were available and which weren't? There is so, so much that goes on that we don't know about as fans. Occasionally we get a glimpse. We'll never get the full picture. There are a lot more moves that don't get made than moves that do get made, and the moves that don't get made contain critical information.
Anyway, what of the Pirates? Edwin Jackson didn't want to sign with them. Roy Oswalt didn't want to sign with them. Derrek Lee is reportedly thinking about retirement even though the Pirates are interested in a boost at first base. Are the Pirates suffering from being the Pirates? Is this evidence that the Pirates are an unattractive destination?
Not necessarily. It would be easy to interpret it that way, but you have to look at these things on a case-by-case basis. Oswalt doesn't seem to want to pitch in Boston, either. Boston's hardly an unattractive destination. Oswalt wants to stay as close to home as he can, which is why he's been crossing his fingers for a shot in St. Louis or Texas. Jackson's represented by Scott Boras, and Boras sees an opportunity to re-enter the market in November and land a big contract. As for Lee, we don't know a whole lot about that situation. It's possible he just wants more money than he probably deserves as a 36-year-old with a 108 OPS+ the last two seasons.
There's also the matter of some free agents having already signed with the Pirates. The Pirates are not completely and utterly player-repellent. What's happened with Oswalt, Jackson and Lee is not proof that players just want to avoid going to Pittsburgh. That said, let's be real. The Pirates are not out-and-out unappealing. One figures, however, that they are less appealing than many teams elsewhere.
The argument in favor of the Pirates is that they play in a beautiful ballpark, they have a loyal fan base, and they're an organization on the rise. All of those points are correct. The ballpark is stunning. Last year's team was over .500 as late as August. As the team hung around, the crowds showed up. There's youth and direction, where in the past there has been youth, and sometimes not even much of that.
But the Pirates are still that team that hasn't won more games than it's lost since 1992. Nineteen years. The Pirates' streak of sub-.500 seasons is a sophomore in college. It's true that they're building a talent base. It's true that the organization is improving. But free agents, or at least free agents with leverage, aren't drawn by teams that might become good. They're drawn by teams that are good, or, if nothing else, are competitive. Potential only means so much to a major leaguer. Next time you see a major leaguer, ask him what he thinks about a prospect.
Even with their improvement in 2011, the Pirates are still in a position where they'd need to overpay a significant free agent to compensate for their Piratesness. It'll stay that way until people stop thinking of the Pirates as the Pirates.
I was going to say that that might actually be in the Pirates' best interests. Free agents can be dangerous. Free-agent contracts can get messy. One ordinarily doesn't recommend trying to add too many big pieces from the free-agent market. But then, in the case of, say, an Edwin Jackson or a Roy Oswalt, those weren't potential albatrosses. So. Shades of gray, and absolute statements, and everything.
Slowly but surely, the Pittsburgh Pirates are getting better. I think most people would acknowledge that the Pittsburgh Pirates are getting better. Most players would probably acknowledge that the Pittsburgh Pirates are getting better. But there's still a long way yet before Pittsburgh is considered an attractive destination, which some recent events might or might not show. Maybe this isn't Earth-shattering. Maybe this is nothing you couldn't have written on your own. What's important, though, is that you've already read this far. There's nothing you can do about the time you just spent.

TERRAS: Brave youngsters make Richmond proud
1:01pm Sunday 2nd February 2014 in Sport By Adam Summers
JAKE Richmond was a proud man on Saturday after his reserve team pulled off a remarkable victory at Merley Cobham Sports.
Lee Sharpe's sublime header was enough to take the three points and move the Terras to the top of the table, but it was the nature of the success that had the delighted manager waxing lyrical at the final whistle.
Richmond told Echosport: "I am so proud of every single one of them.
"We have gone top now but I am not bothered about that.
"We started with two teenagers in the centre of midfield in Gareth Will (18) and Luke Chatt-erton (16), with Brad Asagba holding because of his exper-ience, and all of them were fantastic.
"There was a lot of niggling off the ball and it was quite a physical game but the younger ones weren't intimidated and dealt with it.
"All the youngsters were so brave and in the end I thought we thoroughly deserved the win."
The game witnessed very few chances with Weymouth keeper Ryan Park having just one save to make throughout the 90 min- utes.
The best opportunities fell to the Terras with new signing Conor Jevon forcing the home stopper into a fantastic save just a couple of minutes in.
Sharpe then glanced in a corner from Sean Zima for the only goal on 38 minutes before the second half offered the odd half chance but nothing else.
Richmond added: "It was very much a midfield battle and I thought everyone did their bit.
"The whole group were so professional and as a result they got their reward.
"No one moaned about being left out the side and the three lads that came on all made an impact.
"We are never going to win the league but to be up there at the top end is really pleasing, and the added confidence from that can only help these players continue to develop."
The Terras now sit two points clear of local rivals Portland United at the summit but they have played three games more.
Hamworthy Recreation and Merley are also two points adrift with one game in hand.
Terras: Park, Sharpe, Butcher, Anstey, Zima, Preece, G Will, Asagba (J Will 75), Chatterton (Harvey 60), Nichols, Jevon (P Ford 70).

This is a great, quick and fun recipe! We topped ours with an individual red gummy 'bear' candy to resemble and cherry on top. They are always a hit. We transport ours in a shoe boxes. Just snug enough that they dont move around. Another bake sale tip: use sprinkles that our the school's colors!
Very fun recipe for birthday treats at school for kids, if you're using these for a bake sale try packaging them individually in clear, disposable punch cups then wrap celophane around them with a cute ribbon tied at the top.
My kids love this recipe. I made it for a bake sale recently, and my daughter was disappointed that one of the other mom's bought all that I made before the kids had a chance to buy any. I had to make more at home for her. The only change I made was that I used chocolate frosting from a can (try Betty Crocker Whipped in milk chocolate--it's delish!) I piped the frosting on top of the cups to look like soft serve ice cream and sprinkled rainbow sprinkles on top. Yummy!
