A lot of people have a different view on who is the greatest fighter of all time, this was shown quite vividly by the storm of comments following my recent poll about the subject. Some people feel that the Anderson Silva reigns supreme, where others feel that Fedor holds the title and then there were some who looked back to the days of Chuck Liddell, Royce Gracie and even Mark Coleman.
In light of the huge amount of variation in peoples views, I've decided to open the flood gates to the users of Lowkick.com.The Mass Debate will allow you, the awesome Lowkick.com users, to have your argument put forward in the first article of the series.

Mexican archaeologists reveal studies made on sacrificial stone found at Templo Mayor
Some months ago, a stone where human sacrifices were performed was found as part of the archaeological salvage work that has been made by the Program of Urban Archaeology (PAU) from the Great Temple Museum. Today, thanks to numerous studies, we know that the location where the monolith was discovered was not the place where it had been used 500 years ago. It was removed from its original place back in the pre Hispanic era.According to specialists, this kind of stone was used, in pre Hispanic times, to place a person lying on his back (with an eastern or western direction). Once they were laid down they were sacrificed; their thoracic cage was opened and their heart was pulled out....

Lighting designer Phil Gabriel passed away on Aug. 9. A great advocate of the profession and of lighting education, his efforts on behalf of the lighting design community will be missed.
On June 19, the Illuminating Engineering Society New York City Section (IESNYC) recognized the work of its members during its annual award dinner the 46th Lumen Awards. Twelve projects representing 10 New York City-based design firms received awards.
Here is a listing of some of the lighting industry events and deadlines that will be occurring in September 2014. Information is correct at this posting. Be sure to check the respective event websites directly regarding any updates or changes.
This year, two projects played the roles of design-issue instigators: the Lowline and the New York City Streetlight.
A white-light color palette distinguishes between the man-made and natural elements of this memorial commemorating those that have been lost to politically and socially charged violence.
Fixtures from Eaton's Cooper Lighting Business, Hubbell Lighting, Acuity Brands/Holophane, and Cree offer high output and sturdy construction for a range of high-traffic and hazardous spaces.
New Haven, Conn.-based lighting manufacturer Electrix Inc. has announced that as of July 31, 2014, the company's assets have been acquired by Evolution Lighting LLC and its investor partner Boyne Capital Partners.

Die Hard 4.0
Just watching Die Hard 4.0.
It's an excellent action movie. Funny and captivating, like the first one.
And yet, why does Hollywood always insist that any action movie must have at least a couple of factors which are patently unrealistic? For example the villains not only being able to "get schematics" on their computer of a random tunnel that the hero has just entered by car, but getting them in 3D, and being able to re-route traffic into that tunnel by remote control. And not only that but being able to do it with literally five seconds of preparation time of figuring out how to do it! (There was no way they could have predicted needing to do it.)
Also the villains can remotely and instantly "reroute gas lines" to get a power plant to blow up... "Reroute gas lines"? What does that even mean?
Why aren't there writers in Hollywood specifically paid to fix scripts so they become realistic? It can't be all that damn hard. Just use 0.1% of the budget of a big movie, and you can have all the brain power you could want, willing and eager to help you. Heck, I'm sure there are loads of films fans and geeks out there who would love to do the work for free.
I dunno. The idea that perhaps the people in the world to whom these errors seem obvious are so few that they don't matter to the market is a very scary thought. That's a world that's hard to trust with anything.

Common questions before and after you purchase your restaurant equipment and supplies.
Commercial Food Mixer Buying Guidemixer attachments, they can grind, chop, slice, and more. Ultimately you want to make sure you make the right decision long term and that the unit you choose will help make your business's daily operation a success. At Mission Restaurant Supply, we have a selection of quality floor, countertop, and hand mixers. Deciding what the best choice is, given all the options, is often a daunting and overwhelming process. Cost for most everyone is one of the most important factors. Oftentimes, spending that extra dollar on a top-notch piece of equipment will pay off in the long haul because it means you're committed to quality and better warranty terms and service options. However, we understand that price is an important factor for everyone, and that's why we carry great lines at all different price points and for all different applications. Making careful calculation of the pros and cons when deciding on a new commercial-grade piece of equipment is paramount to the future success of your operation. Let us help you find what you need for your business.
A Guide to Buying Commercial MicrowavesAs any restaurant professional knows, the equipment you stock your establishment with matters a great deal when it comes to running your business efficiently. When your staff has to deal with faulty equipment, it slows them down, which causes them to be unable to provide the great customer experience you strive for. Unlike home food preparation equipment, the appliances you use in a restaurant setting must be high-powered, and built to withstand an incredible amount of use, day in and day out. This is especially true of complicated appliances such as microwaves. When you buy commercial microwaves for your restaurant, you want to know that they can provide years of trouble-free service. The commercial microwaves on the market today all have several commonalities and several major differences. Commercial units that you'll be considering will all be higher powered than residential models, which allows them to heat food much faster. Commercial microwaves will also feature all stainless-steel exteriors, which makes for easier cleanup and a much lower chance of wearing out or becoming damaged in the fast-paced commercial kitchen environment. There are some major differences in models though, and which one you choose is highly dependent upon your restaurant's individual needs. The Panasonic NE-1024 is a 1000 watt commercial microwave w/ dial timer. Just $166.79 The Panasonic NE-3280 is a 3200 watt commercial microwave, steamer, and rethermalizer with 5 power levels and 16 programmable memory pads. $3549 click here!

A Post Summer Treatsnow cone machine. Appealing to the appetites of children and the nostalgia of adults, snow cones remain a profitable item to sell, especially during the warmest weeks of the year. They've been a staple for concessions stands and boardwalk vendors for decades, but really any business can buy a snow cone machine and implement it into their menus. Unless your business operates in the tropics, snow cones don't have to be offered all year: they can be served for only a few months from a patio kiosk or put on the menu as a seasonal treat. More refined establishments, too, can buy a snow cone machine and retain their elegant reputation. "Italian shaved ice" or granita can be marketed instead of the campier "snow cone," since people of any socioeconomic background can enjoy the desserts.
After the investment of the the initial machine, the cost of production is infinitely less than most menu items. Blocks of ice are incredibly inexpensive, and the syrups, creams, and other adornments cost very little to keep on hand. It's a timeless treat that everyone loves, and it's effortless to market when the temperatures outside are soaring. Though summer may be officially over, the summertime temperatures continue to soar in the South (and other parts of the US as well). Ultimately, right now would be a wonderful time to buy a snow cone machine for your home or your business and hang on to summer a little longer. Our snow cone machines come in a number of price points- view our selection here! Need the syrup, snow cone cups, and dipper spoons? We've got it all!

NEWS Break :: 2011 Turkey RecallThe big food news on the street as of late is the recall of over 36 million pounds of ground turkey meat released in the United States by Cargill, one of the biggest meat distributors in America. As cases of "antibiotic resistant" salmonella are turning up {including 1 fatality recorded} the nation is tuned in and hoping to learn more about how a meat recall of this scale could've happened now in 2011. Many questions are plaguing those not only sickened by the contaminated meat but by those who weren't and could've been: What caused this? How is our government regulating our food? Why did it take months before a warning was issued by regulators? These questions are the first of many that will put stress on our government to tighten their policy on food safety. THE LOWDOWN In March and arguably earlier, regulators traced a string of Salmonella Heidelberg in ground turkey distributed from a Cargill plant in Arkansas. Salmonella Heidelberg is one of the most common strains of Salmonella from the approximately 2500 variations existing. Sources say that traces of the contaminated meat were noted in March and maybe even earlier, but government regulators waited until recently to recall the products. WHO'S RESONSIBLE? Officials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food Safety and Inspection Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture are partially responsible. The two organizations have confirmed that they were aware of the hints of salmonella that were linked to the hospitalizations and the one fatality caused by this outbreak, but nothing was done and no report was issued. It is partially their responsibility to be testing poultry and many other meats for taintedness, however, there are restrictions and limitations to the recall process that create complications. Ideally, the functions of the USDA and the FDA would unite by a stringent government-endorsed food safety system so that proper procedures and measures are taken at all times to protect the public from sickness. WHAT'S TO LEARN? The lesson behind this most recent recall is to always be cautious of what you're buying. Keep current on food-related news and be alerted by recalls or talk of mass contamination and distribution. It is highly encouraged for consumers to continue to check their homes for recalled products. Check out the full recall list here. Practice good food safety in your own home as well. Whether you are running a restaurant or you're cooking for your family at home, practicing smart food safety is extremely important to the health of everyone involved. Contracting a foodborne illness can be just as easy at home as it is in a restaurant if you don 't know the proper food safety tips and knowledge. Here are some blogs we recommend for an update on how you can stay food safe. Learn how one company has pushed the envelope in Food Safety. (We can find their products here at Mission!)

Why MISSION?
We've had many great questions from our customers regarding why our name is Mission Restaurant Supply- what's with the Mission? Some of our customers have asked if we are headquartered in Mission, Texas (we are not) and some have guessed that we just thought it was a strong, solid name, but the truth is that we have chosen the name Mission for a reason. Read our description below to learn the real meaning behind our logo and our name.
Mission Party Ice was acquired in 1988 and served as a local ice machine and refrigeration sales and leasing company until we grew into what is now Mission Restaurant Supply in 2001. The name "Mission" is derived directly from our local culture and the presence of the 5 historic Spanish Missions here in San Antonio. If you are unaware of the history behind these historic structures, you can read about it in more detail here. In a nutshell, the San Antonio and South Texas Missions were used to help buffer the French forces from the Spanish frontier back in the early 1700s. These outposts came to be run by Catholic religious leaders who hoped to spread Christianity to the Native American people.
Our logo boasts Mission Concepción, which is one of the only unrestored stone Spanish Mission churches in America, and it is in the best shape of all the Missions here in San Antonio. The snowflake represents our commitment from the beginning to quality commerical ice equipment and commercial refrigeration, and this snowflake encircles Mission Concepción as a way of commemorating our history. The San Antonio Missions are symbols of our city's heritage, while they are also symbolic of perseverance and sustainability. They have weathered the course of time just as we hope to do, and they strongly represent the city of San Antonio and all of South Texas.
Smoking Prohibitions
New San Antonio Smoking Ordinance Starting August 19th, 2011, the San Antonio Metropolitan Health District will be implementing a city ordinance against smoking in "all enclosed public places" in the San Antonio area. What does this mean? This means that smoking will be strictly prohibited in public places, including shopping malls, sports arenas, bars, restaurants, museums, laundromats, hotels, theaters, convention facilities, any enclosed place of employment or private business- you name it. There are some restrictions against smoking outdoors, as well. These include Zoo facilities, sports arenas, stadiums, within 20 feet of public transportation stations, and in city-owned parks.
Information for Business Owners For San Antonio (and just about any other city) this prohibition is one that will be controversial and difficult to adhere to, but in the end, it is undoubtedly the best choice, mainly for health reasons. As a business owner, it's important to train and educate your employees on these new implications. It is also required to have visible, conspicuous signage on your establishment that reinstates the smoking ban. The "No Smoking" sign above is on sale at www.missionrs.com for only $4.35. You can buy it here.
Penalties and Consequences This San Antonio Smoking Ordinance is one that should be taken seriously. There are penalties for violating the ordinace, starting with up to $200 for the first violation, up to $500 for a second violation, and up to $2,000 for a third violation (and any violation thereafter.)

Commercial Ice Machine UpgradeConsidering the purchase of any new appliance can conjure up the dread of cost and future maintenance, but it is necessary to upgrade your products every once in a while, particularly with commercial ice machines. Many businesses know that they will need high volumes of ice, but smaller cafés and bakeries that may not specialize or concentrate on drinks believe they can do without. For some, this is true, but calculating the effort spent, and the real demand made, can uncover a real need these small businesses have. When imagining ice makers, most people think of huge, closet-sized machines that produce hundreds of pounds of ice a day. While those exist, they are structures necessary only for high volume needs, like stadium concessions. Much more prevalent are smaller units that can be placed directly above drink dispensers or tucked under counters: unobtrusive and out of view (like the unit to the left!). For businesses in which drinks are the smallest priority, even machines such as these may seem an unnecessary expenditure. Smaller models, however, exist and can be a wise investment for even the most infrequent of ice needs. Many bakeries, specialty businesses, and employee lounges sell few to no drinks, so a small ice machine installed in a refrigerator may seem more than sufficient. With any frequency of use, however, constant access to those refrigerators depletes energy and causes significant wear on the appliance. A stand-alone ice bin would be unnecessary, but countertop ice makers take up negligible space and only produce enough for small needs. Customers requesting water, cubes to chill a hot coffee, and employees rehydrating themselves on breaks all require some ice, so to protect the durability of other appliances, an ice machine may be necessary even for the smallest of businesses. To make it easier for you, we've created a simple guide to help you figure out what size commercial ice machine you need!

Autism and Asperger Syndrome
Autism and its milder form Asperger Syndrome, often referred to together as autistic spectrum disorders (ASD) are conditions which make it hard for sufferers to communicate or interact with others, or to develop what most people would consider 'normal' emotional responses. Around half a million people – that's one in a hundred – have ASD in the UK. The condition can be mild, in which case the impact on ordinary life is low, or so severe that sufferers struggle to function in social situations. It can make the world seem a strange and scary place.
So what are the main symptoms of ASD in kids? Often they will be late learning to walk and talk, and have difficulties communicating their feelings or needs. Even after they have learned to talk, they will have difficulty maintaining a conversation. As they get older they may seem distant and detached, uninterested in affection, come out with unexpected or inappropriate things in social situations and struggle to do what they're told.
ASD sufferers lack what's called a 'social imagination'. This doesn't mean they have no imagination at all. Far from it! Instead they tend to take jokes, slang and phrases like 'that song is wicked' literally. They won't be interested in making friends or playing games, may become obsessed with things or routines, and will appear insensitive to other's people's feelings.
There are no specific medical tests to confirm ASD, but a doctor will be able to give a diagnosis by the time a child is three years old. Nor is there any specific cure but, depending on the severity, kids will be assigned a range of specialists who will help your child as he or she develops.
All of this can make living with an ASD-sufferer challenging, yet many kids with mild Aspergers cope fine in ordinary schools and go on to live fulfilling, independent lives. Your doctor or specialist will be able to recommend support groups, and for an insider's view of the condition, the acclaimed novel The Curious Incident of The Dog in The Night by Mark Haddon describes the world from the perspective of a 15 year old by with Aspergers.

I'm 43 years of age and I am still waiting for a diagnosis, it is stressing me out tremendously in addition to my difficulties processing thoughts. I forget to pay my bills for example but I've learned how to use IT quickly and found that I can be quite practical if clumsy. Not knowing is the worst part, they may even say I don't have it, have thought of suicide on certain occasions hard to live like this.. My score was 45 on this test and 43 on another and I think i'm on the wrong site as this seems to be for kids. My advice for children with this condition get help and support as soon as you can, please don't let it ruin your lives like it has done mine. Good luck to you all.
My son was diagnosed with atypical autism at the age of 13 he is 16 now has never had any medication or treatment seen the specialist twice and the next appointment is very soon and they want to sign him off he is on the very mild side of the spectrum that I am aware of but my question is what does it mean to be signed off is he better?
I'm 13 and I am worried I have mild Autism! My brother is mildly Autistic and I'm worried that I do too. I also think that my dad is. I have to have everything need and tidy otherwise I break down and get angry. I never finish tests, I'm quiet, I don't really have any friends because I don't know how to kinda go up to them and I don't laugh at jokes. I don't like trying new things and I like to have a routine, but I'm not that sever with it because I don't mind changing it of we are doing something different. I have asked mh parents if I can be assessed but they won't take me seriously because my brother is the favourite. What should I do? I don't want this business of not finishing exams to affect my future with GCSE's and A levels.
I've been diagnosed with dyslexia / dyspraxia but have never undergone an official test for autism / autistic traits. My score on the Autism test was 44 which is above the clinical threshold. I'm not sure whether it is worthwhile asking my GP about testing. I've always been 'weird' but can just about cope with work. I don't know whether a diagnosis would provide any practical help or just make things harder.
I have Asperger's Syndrome and am fairly okay talking to most people, except other girls/women. I've not had a proper relationship before and it would mean such a lot to me to have someone special in my life. Just to ask, is there any help or are there any good ways of getting help to increase your chances of finding a partner when you have Asperger's Syndrome?
Hello, I strongly suggest that you have people that love and support you who know you have Asperger's around you, inform any potential partner of your condition and if they are meant to be they will support you and accept you.
My son has been in trouble since he has been really young and was always put in a room on his own at school because he would throw things and use abusive language. I often thought it was because my ex partner my sons dad who was an alcoholic and a control freak that he was the way he was. I am no longer with his father and haven't been for many years. He is now 13 and still struggles at school, likes routine and struggles with his emotions and has never been able to talk to any one about how he feels or accept responsibility for his bad behaviour. It has been a massive struggle for me on a day to day basis and he is now at a support school but I want to get a diagnosis for him as I do believe he has autism.
Hi I am 13 and I think I have autism I have to follow a routine every day and get upset if don't . Everything has to be planned , everything has to be organized . I get a lot of stress and anxiety for the simple things . I don't know whether to ask for help.
I'm not sure if my 25 year old son as aspergers he knows number plates from are street of 100 houses were he works which is over 100 vehicles.He rings up at least 7 times a day just to mUch shore everyone is ok. He writes for weeks about something even months also I've had to explain sarcasm to him when someone is be sarcastic he does not get it. Songs he will play over and over again and his bedroom is always clean.
I have really bad anxiety attacks, and its making my life difficult at the moment,i just don't know how to control the panic attacks and i just getting fed up of it. and i have also asperges too.
I am quite astounded that you feel that aspergers is a mild form of autism! Maybe there should be a new diagnosis my daughter has missed 3 yrs of school and although her intelligence is amazing she will never become the adult that she should become because she cannot access mainstream education and because there is very little help for Aspie kids she is probably going to live her life on benefits and secluded = she will always be considered a burden on the state as she does not fit into a neat and tidy box you say embarasing bodies but does that not include her mind. It is bizarre to me that if she had something wrong with her genitalia she would get more help!!!

College Board announced last week they'll be making big changes to the SAT to be rolled out in 2016.
The essay portion will be optional, test takers won't be penalized for wrong answers and the writers will be changing out vocabulary words like "prevaricator" and "sagacious" in favor of words more commonly used in school and on the job, according to an Associated Press article.

Because she's been a parent volunteer in the Lubbock Independent School District for more than 10 years, Laura Vinson believes she'd have less of a learning curve on the school board than her opponents would.
Vinson, 45, is running for election to the LISD Board of Trustees against Brett Underwood and Boyd Goodloe. Each are seeking to fill the at large position which will be vacated by Steve Massengale after the May 10 election.

Rumors are circulating that the Greg Abbott campaign rented out the Jimenez Bakery to garner Hispanic support during the attorney general's Feb. 25 stop in Lubbock.
Lubbock City Councilman Victor Hernandez, a Democrat, recently referred to the venue as a prop.
"Greg Abbott came into our house uninvited, wanting to somehow give the illusion that the Lubbock County Hispanic community is supportive," Hernandez said at a Tejano Democrats meeting the day after Abbott's visit to town.

You may have seen them -- the Steve Massengale campaign ads starring Biscuit the canine.
In a commercial told from the dog's perspective, Biscuit walks by a Charles Perry campaign sign and growls. Later, with the camera zoomed in on his nose, Biscuit says, "Trust me, he smells like a career politician."
Massengale said people have asked him if Biscuit -- who calls him "dad" in the ad -- is really the family dog or paid talent.
Here's the scoop.

I'm still trying to wrap my mind around spending more than $60,000 on a lawn mower, which the Lubbock Independent School District Board of Trustees voted to do this morning.
To their credit, the thing is pretty high tech. It's official name is the Toro Groundsmaster 4500 D sports field mower which will be used for plant operations. It's price is $61,873.63.
Superintendent Berhl Robertson said it will replace a mower the district has had for 14 years.
He admitted the machine is expensive, but said they need one to last.

Last week, I covered the saddest story of my career -- that of a 22-month-old girl who was shot in the head and killed by her own mother.
It doesn't get much worse than that.
Ashlee Dean, the mother of Alexandria Lee Courtney-Dean, or "Alex," called 911 after firing the shots and confessed to killing her daughter while under the influence of drugs.
What adds another devastating element to the story is the fact that Ashlee Dean had just recently reunited with her daughter after CPS took the child away from her last February.

It will be Hines' third year to compete at the international level, his principal, Christine Wanjura, said.

No one has filed to run for the Lubbock Independent School District Board of Trustees.
With one at-large position and Districts 3 and 4 up for grabs in May, interested candidates must file by Feb. 28.
Filing opened Jan. 29, but Sherri Dahl, the elections official for the district, said she has a stack of applications untouched.
The applications come with a binder full of forms, instruction guides and campaign rules from the Texas Ethics Commission.
