Alistair Overeem Cycles Horse Meat Video By TheGarv.
Holy crap, I bout s*** my drawers watchin' this! Thanks Bruno, Alistair is king!â™
king roid head
Stop calling him Overoid!
the end is frikn nasty
lmfao awesome
Lame…give it a rest already.
honestly, the stages were pretty gradual.
he is so good stop hatin on a guy not on roids unlike other people
This made my day!!!
Thanks Bruno.
I dunno about you but i want some horse meat too!
The end of that was brutal.
It's even betta, than whey protein.
Seriously though, I think dudes clean. Lots of creatine for sure.
thats awesome, this cheater should be called out more often, he should also be banned from the sport period
What about all the steroids … that the horses are taking?
Saying he should be banned from the sport is just lol. You know how many people in the UFC and combat sports use steroids? Not that I'm condoning steroids, but damn are you that ignorant?
Who cares I pay to watch him punch and knee people in the face, WAR REEM!
anybody on here that body builds should know that with the proper diet, intense gym routine, and a s*** load of LEGAL supplements (creatine) can put on a good 20-30 pounds within 2-3 months.
Hilarious, ever notice how Overeem periodically skips off to Japan every 6 months or so and comes back bigger. Now we know, horse meat… its what's for dinner.
shouldnt have been eating steak when I decided to watch this vid…
Uber over roid REEM!! LOL!!
They should just make roids mandatory and then everyone would be happy, even the coroners..
I've watched this three times. It's a pretty catchy tune.
For all the people who believe he is not on steroids, come on be serious. You cannot put that much lean muscle mass on naturally; it doesn't matter how many natural supplements he takes!!!
just FYI, I heard it is illegal in the USA to eat horse as it is part of a companion animal law.
just about every a pro athlete is on gear. leave him to it
and anybody that bodybuilds knows that you must take steroids in order to be competitive. Does Reem Roid? idk, he's put on mass gradually… but he is a monster… haha that bitch got s*** on
I don't care about him doing roids or not. Lots of athletes do them. But there is only one reem.
Go for gold,baby.
Breaking news!!! Every one is on steroids! Including overoid, still fun to watch him sock people in the face. This is gonna be like baseball, everyone will get busted for juicing then the fights will be boring.

And Kevin Blake, Kerry Smith and Phil Rackley will most likely laugh their socks off when they read this comment.
As for Mo Larkin's role, the male parts are traditionally played by a female anyway. I am sure Mo will be flattered to know you have cast her in such a prominent role. She also has a good sense of humour unlike most of her leftwing nutjob naysayers.
Tell me, what role would you have in mind for yourself, given that none of us have had the privilege of meeting you so we could judge for ourselves.
Just a thought. Genuine question though.

Mobile Larkin (love it by the way) is too old for that role.

Weeks 1 and 2 the Saints pretty much perfected their passing game.
Weeks 3 and 4 the running game was established as top notch.
All the while, the defense and special teams showed that they are a class act.
This past week the team got rested and healthy.
Is it just me thinking this or are the Giants in for the most rude awakening of their season; possibly their careers? The pieces are in place and the Superdome awaits. Halloween is coming early to the Big Apple courtesy of the Big Easy!
Discuss . . . . . .

If pain is the body's way of telling you something is wrong, it follows that your doctor's job is interpreting that message to find the source of the problem. But with back pain this isn't always easy. Finding the cause of the pain is difficult, and most doctors will advise you to self-manage the pain to see if it subsides before spending too much time on finding an exact cause. After all, most incidents of back pain—even the most excruciating—are short-lived and heal on their own.
However, if you experience any of the more severe warning signs or if your pain has not subsided even after practicing the recommended management techniques, it may be time for your doctor to conduct a full physical examination to determine the cause of your pain. Depending on your symptoms and medical history, there are several tests that might be used to better understand your pain. These include X-rays, CT and MRI scans, and electromyograms (EMGs).
Talking to your doctor about the nature of the pain is a critical step in the diagnostic and treatment processes. Be an informed patient by asking your doctor these important questions:
1. Cause of Pain
Do you think you know the cause of my back pain? Is it possible to find the exact cause?
2. Tests for Back Pain
What kind of tests will you use to find the cause of my back pain? How accurate are the tests?
3. Red Flags
Are there any red flags I should watch for that could indicate a more serious condition? What are the symptoms of these conditions?
4. Living With Back Pain
What type of self-management techniques can I use to alleviate some of my back pain? How much physical activity can I handle?
5. Treatment Options
What are some medical options for treating back pain? At what point would you recommend prescription drugs, alternative therapies, or surgery?

Arizona delivers statement win, routs Colorado on the road: By the numbers
Originally published: Feb 22, 2014 - 9:29 pm
Despite playing inside one of the toughest venues in the conference, Sean Miller's squad put on an absolute show, throttling the Colorado Buffaloes by a final of 88-61.
Here's a look back at the 88-61 beatdown by the numbers:
At no point in Saturday's contest did the Wildcats ever trailed. Arizona ran out to a quick 17-3 advantage and never looked back.
Following a 69-57 loss in Tucson back on Jan. 23, Colorado's Xavier Johnson promised a '20-point' blowout when the teams met in Boulder. Not only did Johnson prove to be wrong, but he struggled to have much of an impact on the game. The Wildcats held him to five points on an abysmal 1-of-10 from the floor.
The magic number for Arizona to clinch the Pac-12 regular season title has been whittled down to two. With wins this week against Cal and Stanford, the Wildcats would clinch the conference championship outright.
Making his second consecutive start, sophomore Gabe York left his imprint on the huge road victory. And he did so primarily on the glass. York grabbed a career-high 10 rebounds to go along with his four points.
It was a night of lows for Tad Boyle and Co. The Buffaloes, who finished the night shooting 32.7 percent from the field, got off to a rather inauspicious start, failing to record a single bucket over the first 10:10 of the game -- a program record.
Freshman Aaron Gordon watched the final seconds from the bench, but this time it had nothing to do with foul trouble. The former McDonald's All-American knocked down 10 of his 13 attempts, finishing the night with a career-high 23 points. Of those 10 makes, two came from downtown. Gordon also had eight rebounds.
The 27-point margin of victory was UA's largest away from the McKale Center in 2013-14. In fact, the Wildcats' first six road wins came by an average of just seven points.
How impressive was the Wildcats' sweep over the Buffaloes and Utes? Heading into the weekend, the two Pac-12 foes were 32-2 at home this season.
Not only did 10 different players score in the blowout, but as a team, Arizona shot 60.5 percent from the field. Part of that average was aided by the Wildcats' tremendous effort from three-point range, as they hit 8-of-17 from behind the arc.
In the second half alone, Arizona connected on 22-of-26 shot attempts.
For Arizona, the win was its first at Colorado since the 1972-73 season. That year, Coniel Norman scored 27 points in a 91-76 victory.

What was in the small yellow and red boxes that seemed to pop up in every video?
I've been shaking my head at my fellow man for a long time. These just reinforce my disdain.
bunch of losers,that don't make no sense
My local walmart had 8 fights last night. One chick got a black eye over a $14 crock pot CAT FIGHT!!!!
There's 2 type of people that seem to make recurring cameos in these videos...
Prader-Willi don't give a fuck.
Black Friday is a reality show put on for rich people. They sit in their mansions and watch the 99% turn into animals for a $100 flat screen.
fucking savages
Well some countries drag people through the streets on bikes and others...
I hate humanity but I hate those cunts who filmed in portrait more

Keep buying into the dream dummy
@HummusMagnate @WhiteyBrown libertarians support the idea of a capitalistic society with no interference by the government. The implied idea is that id trade my beliefs to never see this shit happen again.
@Pepper Hicks Coughing Fit yet still winning. *head pat
@DeathProof Exactly! Finally someone gets it.
@simslacker @dpiller21 OH SHIT SON!!! (there were $100 flat screens?)
@WhiteyBrown ...that statement was pure capitalism with no libertarian implications at all other than you mentioning the word. That's why I asked the correlation. Capitalism is capitalism. Support for capitalism doesn't necessarily reflect libertarianism just capitalism. If you are a libertarian though keep up the fight please. Its a losing one but I try to spread the good word myself to anyone who inquires.

Former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan is quitting as international peace envoy for Syria in the face of an armed rebellion against President Bashar Assad whose violence shows no sign of abating after 17 months of strife.
UN Chief Ban Ki-moon said in a statement: "Mr. Annan has informed me of his intention not to renew his mandate when it expires on 31 August 2012," adding that he and Elaraby were in discussions on appointing a successor to Annan.
"Kofi Annan deserves our profound admiration for the selfless way in which he has put his formidable skills and prestige to this most difficult and potentially thankless of assignments," Ban continued.
Speaking to reporters in Geneva, a clearly frustrated Annan blamed "finger pointing and name calling" in the 15-nation Security Council as on of the reasons for his decision to step down.
Mr Annan authored a six-point peace plan for Syria which was intended to bring an end to the fighting. Annan's mission, centered on an April ceasefire that never took hold, has looked irrelevant as fighting has intensified in Damascus and Aleppo.
Annan has commented that he expects the 6-point plan and the "Syria Action Group" to continue, but predicts new initiatives to resolved the crisis in Syria.
Russia has expressed regret over Annan's decision, with Russian UN Ambassador Vitaly Churkin commenting: "We understand that it's his decision." "We regret that he chose to do so. We have supported very strongly Kofi Annan's efforts. He has another month to go, and I hope this month is going to be used as effectively as possible under these very difficult circumstances."
Churkin quickly started finger-pointing about Annan's departure, suggesting that Western powers that opposed "reasonable and balanced proposals" in the Security Council undermined Annan's peace efforts from the start.
Churkin added he was encouraged that Ban was looking for a successor to Annan.
Council diplomats have said privately that the United States and Gulf Arab states have become increasingly frustrated in recent weeks with what they saw as Annan's dogged commitment to diplomacy at a time when they believe all avenues for dialogue with Syrian President Bashar Assad have been exhausted.
The White House has said Kofi Annan's resignation as mediator in Syria highlighted Syrian President Bashar Assad's refusal to abide by a UN-backed peace plan and the failure of Russia and China to hold Assad accountable at the UN Security Council, blaming them for vetoing three council resolutions intended to ratchet up the pressure on Assad to stop his
attacks on civilians and halt the fighting, which has escalated into a
full-scale civil war.
"President Assad, despite his promise to abide by the Kofi Annan plan, continues to brutally murder his own people," White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters aboard Air Force One on Thursday.

Green Tech played their final regular season game on Sunday against James Monroe before joining section two for the sectional playoffs.
It was a one point game in the third quarter until the Eagles turned up their defense to take home the win.
Eagles finish off strong in their regular season, 85-61.

Oh, Chicago Bears, how I love and loathe thee. Whenever they have a primetime game, I feel like its a showcase for the entire nation to witness just how good this Chicago team is (even though practically all games are accessible somehow to everyone anywhere). So far, the results have been... mixed, to put it kindly. A lopsided loss on Thursday night against Green Bay in week two, a great Monday Night win against Dallas, a gritty Monday Night win against Detroit, and then two straight poor performances in nationally televised games. The good news for the remaining difficult schedule for the Bears (with four straight games against teams with a winning record): no more night games! There's always hope, and right now, Obi Jay Cutnobi is the Bears only hope.
As for the rest of the NFC North, we had one close divisional game and one well-deserved bye week. The Vikings finally got a bye (one thing to be thankful for Thursday: no more bye weeks! Moar Football!) and find themselves only one game out of first place in the ole Black and Blue division. The Packers traveled to Detroit (possibly to buy some new cars) and got out alive with a 24-20 win, pushing the Lions further into last place and driving their fans to move up their Thanksgiving Day plans so that they'll overdose on tryptophan way before they have to watch the Lions "play" the Texans.

As expected, the Bears dropped in each subjective poll (the first four listed), with Chicago dropping between three and five spots. The Bears are still in the top ten in three of the four subjective polls, and the rankers were
unkind accurate with their derision of our offensive line. ESPN:
Division lead gone, schedule remains tough. Jay Cutler or no, the Bears have to find a way to block somebody.
Before assuming that Monday night's outcome would have been different with Jay Cutler, remember that the offensive line would have been the same.
Elliot Harrison of NFL.com with the
winner zinger:
I was about to write something deep here, but the 49ers ran a stunt and pummeled my laptop.
The Packers inched up the boards due to their close win in Detroit, and leapfrogged the Bears in all subjective polls. And yes, the Packers are technically in first place due to their win over Chicago, in week two, but technicalities won't get you top billing on the table, only the best record (unless it favors the Bears, then I'm totally going all technical on that table).
The Vikings held steady as the median of the NFL, proving that not all rankers are silly enough to push bye week teams up and down the board all willy-nilly-like. The Lions are the highest or second-highest ranked 4-win team in all subjective polls except PFT, so its not like they're terrible, just maddeningly inconsistent.
The new poll we're taking a look at (Aikman's asleep at his keyboard) is from AdvancedNFLStats.com. And before you freak out about the fact that the Lions are ranked higher than the Bears, this is a Team Efficiency Rankings list, so its scientific, not opinion-based, which explains the Panthers, Lions, Bengals, and Redskins all ranked higher than the Bears. And before you say poppycock to their ranking format, they do have the Bears as the top-rated defense (although our offense is 31st).
Last (but first in our hearts) is Football Outsiders and the DVOA ratings. The 49ers creamed the Bears so bad that they jumped from sixth to first in one week, which is practically impossible in their scientific rankings model. The Bears dropped a spot to sixth, but remain right behind Green Bay, and both trail the Seahawks. Last week we mentioned how epic the Bears' defense was this season, and despite getting shredded by Colin Kaepernick in his first career start, they remain as the top-rated defense this year, ahead of the Seahawks and the Texans (the 49ers are sixth). Last week, the Bears were on pace to be the second-best rated defense that Football Outsiders has tracked. After this weeks... ahem... performance? They actually only fall to third all-time, behind the 2002 Buccaneers and the 1991 Saints. In fact:
(T)he bigger surprise here is that the Bears don't take a bigger hit from their terrible performance in last night's game... by FO standards, the Bears still have not had a game this year where the defense played below average. Part of the issue here is that the 49ers offense was far more spectacular in quarters one and three... (and) in part because the 49ers offense has been so good this year overall -- they now rank second in offensive DVOA behind New England.
As for the Bears offense? 29th overall and sinking fast. The only worse offenses in the NFL: the Cardinals, Jaguars, and Chiefs (good golly miss molly!). The Vikings, next week's opponent for Chicago, rank 20th in offense and 18th in defense, and both teams are in the top three rankings for special teams (Bears first, Patriots second, Vikings third).
What did you think of the rankings this week? Are you a fan of the AdvancedNFLStats.com efficiency ratings? What do you think is the best power rankings list?

she is the best psychology professor. If you want to have an easy A, you should take her class. All you have to do is take quizzes and xm. No paper writing. even though she doesn't do the review, everything is from her lecture so, u know what will cm in the xm. If u don't get an A in this class, blame yourself, not her.
This class was much more difficult than I expected it to be. Your grade is based upon all the quizzes and exams so do well on those and you'll do alright. Study the book and the notes. They are all fair game on the test! She is fair though.
super easy class she teaches like high school, but u must read the assigned text book MUST! her quizzes and exams are super easy they're basically vocabulary tests, and are multiple choice, overall a super easy class and nice lady
that's true!
Easiest professor I've ever had. She gives notes like in high school. However, if u want an A read the book cause her tests are misleading and not as straight from her notes as she says. Beware!!! She's all over the place when transferring ur grate to her notes. Might give u a F by mistake. Always check ur answers...she makes lots of mistakes.

Some precincts in Kenton County were running out of ballots on Election Day.
The Kenton County Clerk's Office says there was a higher than expected turnout and ballot spoilage, meaning some ballots were damaged.
Voters were still able to use 'E-Slate' machines, which were available in each precinct. These machines are intended for use by handicapped voters who cannot easily use paper ballots.
Use of the E-Slate machines cause longer lines because only a few are available. Extra ballots were brought in to precincts that ran out.

Cooper's family just moved! We are still in Seattle, but have relocated to a quieter street. This is better for both Cooper and his baby brother Cameron.
The move was exhausting but is now over – and well worth it! Cooper has been stuck inside for the first week, itching to get out and discover the new neighborhood.
Yesterday, finally, the day came for Cooper to explore his new backyard and meet some neighbors. Check out a few of his photos!
"Labor Day" A flag raised for Labor Day by one of Cooper's new neighbors.
"Brick House" Love this shot from through the weeds!
"Joe" On the right you can glimpse one of Cooper's new friends!
"Squirrel" We can't be sure, but we think this is the first photo Cooper has taken of a squirrel – apparently being chased up into a bush!
"Looking Inward" Cooper's reflection is caught as he peeks inside our neighbor's kitchen window. Love that you can see his eyes!
Cooper is now curled up inside, enjoying a long nap. Maybe he'll get to explore again tomorrow?

--Um...sure, no problem?

--Because if you don't, someone else will!

--I don't want to know what's happening underneath...
Oh hell, I just can't do this anymore! What contribution am I making to the American political discourse by dumping on the First Daughters? It's not as if they had any say in their dad's political aspirations (hell, neither did he)! They seem like your normal, everyday, high-society snobs. I know plenty of girls like that. I'm not friends with girls like that, mind you, but I know them. Self-centered, SUV-coveting, trust-fund-milking little party sluts...All right, just a few more and I promise I'll quit!
--The name of the video? The highly unanticipated straight-to-tape sequel, "Stepford Daughters"
--Girls, the photographer was joking when he said to plaster Saran-Wrap across your faces!
--The photographer got them to smile by balancing a bottle of beer over his head
Okay, I'm done. Perceived snobbishness and lame senses of humor aside, I don't really have anything against the Bush daughters. Hell, I wouldn't mind meeting them, just so I could get a personal perspective. Even now, I continue to hold hope that at least one of them will grow up to have a mind of their own.
That said, however, I think they deserve all the ridicule in the world for the video that the above graphic announced in the first place. Both veteran readers of this blog will recognize this picture from an Oct. 30, 2004 post, which heralded what was probably the most unintentionally hilarious video of the Bush campaign. I say unintentional, because it was meant to be funny in one way and was instead funny in quite another. In short, Jenna and Barbara present their dad in some "unscripted moments." You just know where this is headed:
WATCH! Dubya kiss his mom in a bizarre Oedipal manifestation!
VIEW! Laura's Xanax kick in mid-sentence!
WITNESS! George explain that he puts "more tax money in your pocket to spend here"--while standing in a jelly-bean store!
FEEL! George's kinship with his canine, Barney: "We bark together, pick fleas..."
FISH! As Oil Boy fumbles with his pole!
GET! Inside Bush's mind as he rehearses "I'm George W. Bush and I approve this message"
CRINGE! As Dubya says "Osh Kosh, by gosh!"
You can't buy comedy like this. Apparently, you can't even see it for free anymore, because the video has been moved or taken down. Apparently I wasn't the only one embarrassed by the vapidity of the First Family.

"When I first was hired here twenty years ago, a
little old lady came up to me at a volleyball game," remembers Silver Bluff Head Coach Al Lown. "She said, 'I don't care if
you win but one game, you better beat Barnwell.'"
But that lady never said anything about beating the Warhorses twice in the same season.
But that's the task for Lown and the Bulldogs Friday night in the second round of the state playoffs.
Two weeks ago, Silver Bluff trailed 21-0 at half, only to storm back and break Barnwell's heart, 28-27.
"It was a game of breaks," says Barnwell Head Coach Ed Moore. "We got some breaks in the first half and
took advantage of them. They got some breaks in the second half and took
advantage of them."
This week, the Warhorses have a chance at redemption, something Moore has preached to his squad at practice.
"There's a lot of things we left on the field that we think we
should've done better," he says. "Luckily, we get a chance to go make amends for it just
two weeks later."
Not only make amends, but end the season of their main rival, a team this senior class has never beaten.
"We've beaten our other rivals," says Moore. "This is one team that's escaped
them, and that's one thing they want to do."
But Lown says rivalry takes a back seat in importance come playoff time.
"Barnwell, second game. All that comes secondary to what we're
trying to accomplish," he says.
As the intensity of this rivalry battle ratchets up in the playoffs, both coaches say the players' focus must sharpen as well if they want to keep their season alive.
"It's two different things," says Moore. "You have to be intense, but you also
have to maintain your poise and your focus."
"Being focused and wanting it more this time of year means more than
anything," says Lown.
And for both teams, Friday's game provides a second chance to prove themselves.
"Most of the time in life you don't get a chance to do that," Moore says. "This
situation we get to do it in two weeks."
Silver Bluff was able to get it done Friday, shutting out the Warhorses, 17-0.

Last night my friend, BLH old timer Kevin Gonzalez rolled in to town, and he joined my fiance and I for the first ever boxing night at the Barclays Center. Now you all know the results, and I don't have much to add in terms of fight specifics that you haven't heard already. Instead, I want to focus on a personal response to the venue, the scene there, and how Brooklyn felt that night for the four fights that compromised the main portion of the card.
It was an easy fifteen minute walk there from my apartment in Clinton Hill. The venue itself is a love it or hate it affair. It looks for all the world the hulking wreck of a giant ship, scuttled kelson-up on the bottom of an urban sea--a kind of inverted architecture with a pre-rusted industrial scaffolding on the outside of the building, reminding me a bit of the contemporary art museum (The Pompidou) in Paris, except older looking, even though it was just erected. The rusted exterior contrasts with the ultra-high tech screenage that adorns the upper inside walls of the entry and dazzlingly bright complex of mega-screens hanging over the ring.
Passing security, I glanced to my right, and who was there but Zab Judah?--strangely, all alone (no posse whatsoever) dressed casually and just sauntering toward his seat, occasionally interrupted by fans for photos. Zab was notably low key but polite and gracious. This is not the man I have seen in the past. The maturity he's shown in recent interviews is reflected in his demeanor off camera as well.
We had good timing as Alexander vs. Bailey started just as we sat down. It was a horrid fight, with boos careening off the walls throughout. I was particularly disappointed, because this was my fiance's first live card, and I was worried about a bad first impression. There was nothing good to say about this snoozer, and the boos were as loud as I have heard them at any fight. Brooklyn may not get some things right--Mexican food, rental prices, parking, traffic regulation--but in terms of booing, Brooklyn has it going on.
Luckily, Quillin and N'Dam brought it. Although the mood in the crowd was still lacking, the boos stopped, the shouts for "Peter!" arose and we were treated to a solid, entertaining fight. In our section, Quillin had many fans, more than Paulie in fact, and he earned even more before the fight was through.
Malignaggi vs. Cano was sort of ... meh. It was more or less what we expected from Paulie against Senchenko in the Ukraine. Paulie looked game but underpowered, and what started as a vaguely pro-Bensonhurst crowd evolved into riotous support for Cano as the fight wore on. The boos emerged again when the scores were announced. We thought 114-113 was within the realm of possibility, and we actually agreed with Paulie that the the Compubox numbers looked off. I scored the fight 115-112 for Cano, though we weren't surprised by the final outcome, given the home field advantage.
Something of note: the venue made the bizarre choice of shutting everyone off from beer and liquor before Malignaggi vs. Cano even started. We were pissed, complained, and were told the venue always cuts off liquor sales just before the night was over. When I told a manager that there were likely 24 more rounds of boxing left, he first looked at me incredulously, then said something to someone on his walky-talky, and finally looked at me with exasperation and apologized. He told me they would work on the timing for the next boxing event. Clearly, it had been a long night for employees at the venue.
Morales vs. Garcia was sad but with a thrilling ending and what seemed to us at the time a sure-fire KO of the year contender. Though a head check suggested Mexican-Americans were outnumbered, there were more fans for Morales (of all stripes) than for any other fighter. This is as it should be, but it still somewhat surprised me. I expected more fans for Paulie there, but to me, they appeared to be the third largest contingency of fans, after Quillin and Morales'. This might have had something to do with Paulie's performance, I suppose, subduing what fans were there.
The venue was undersold but not as badly as I expected going in. I don't know what the official numbers are, but by the time it was over the place looked about two thirds to three quarters full to me. Not sure how many were comped in.
The fan atmosphere was a bit lacking. Maybe because there was no dominant fan base to carry the card, it wasn't as exhilarating as some live fights, but we did have a good time, despite being cut off from necessary fluid midway through, and Brooklyn was hopping afterwards. Union Standard, a bar in Park Slope, was a great scene, keeping us up until three in the morning catching up on what we missed at the Barclays, which was, after all was said and done, mainly beer.

Alex Pettyfer is about to have a moment. The 20 year old thesp has a major star vehicle, "I Am Number Four" hitting next week and "Beastly" in March, and has a handful of projects on his potential plate including "The Seventh Son," which Jeff Bridges recently boarded. But apparently he's ruffled a bit too many feathers, leading to a near-scolding piece from THR about his somewhat difficult reputation.
Of course, stories like this are strictly meant to discredit the person they are about, possibly as a negotiating tool, as Pettyfer reportedly requested a staggering $10 million upfront pay for "Mortal Instruments" (a film he's apparently since turned down). But that's not all that's being said about Mr. Pettyfer. Apparently the actor had more than a few disagreements with director D.J. Caruso on the set of "I Am Number Four," and it got bad enough that DreamWorks CEO Stacy Snider had to intervene. We like the idea of Pettyfer ragging on Caruso's "Two For The Money" and Caruso wondering, "Who the hell is this kid?" Additionally, once he learned his quarter-million fee for the film was dwarfed by another actor (likely Timothy Olyphant) he demanded a pay raise, switching his agent and, possibly, inspiring co-star/girlfriend Dianna Argon to do the same. Pettyfer protested his pay by refusing to cash his checks for the film up until the end of last year; only recently has he gone to the bank and finally deposited his earnings.
Pettyfer is also being chastised for arriving two hours late to a marketing meeting with the CBS Films executives -- including CEO Amy Baer -- regarding "Beastly," though his "car troubles" are said to be the cause. But with all this drama, the bigger question is....seriously, who is Alex Pettyfer? While Hollywood is ready to bank on this kid as their next A-lister, the public has yet to weigh in, and if "I Am Number Four" or "Beastly" under-perform, the actor's supposed hubris (and we stress supposed) will be somewhat comical. There is probably a good mix of truth and exaggeration to whatever tales are being spun about Pettyfer and you kind of have to wonder what the real motive is for dragging the young thesp's name through the mud. And really, with DreamWorks developing a biopic of race car driver James Hunt for the actor, clearly fences have been mended and they have faith in the guy.
"Pick your words: ambitious, hungry, cocky, very ahead of himself. But if he delivers, he'll be worth it," said an anonymous producer who's worked with Pettyfer. But, doesn't that apply to pretty much every actor on the rise in Hollywood who wants to make it?

It amazes me how people can gang up on an actor like this, which only goes to prove my point: people (thank God not all) are sheep. Alex didn't want to play Jace. So? I don't blame him; itâs his decision, after all, his career, or so it should be. And yes, I agree he would have made a great Jace, albeit maybe too old now for the role. Jace is what, 17? Alex is . . . 22? And, he looks older. But no matter, the role obviously wasn't in his heart to do it. If offered the right price? Why not. But since he wasnât that into it, he held out. I would have done the same. As for all the other crap, I could dispute every point in his favor, every single point, but will suffice for this: I find his honesty refreshing, not arrogant. I think you have to be self-assured to make it as an actor, and he is. He refuses to play the game---good for him. I loved Beastly, and liked I am # 4. I saw him on Ellen, and thought he was sweet, introverted, and maybe a little shy. Even the producer said: âpick your words.â I read that interview where so many want to crucify him and again, so what? I saw humor and honesty. Give him a break, people.
Tessa | April 5, 2012 9:01 PM
Oh wow what a douche. Asking ten million for Mortal Instruments? This kid needs to get over himself.
and other mortal instruments fans need to stop thinking he's the perfect Jace cuz he freakin TURNED DOWN the role.
E | March 22, 2012 12:11 PM
He can't act.
alexp | January 23, 2012 7:54 AM
All of this statements must be true, but I know deep inside him, he's better than that. He's a really really good actor, he's still learning things in hollywood
Kristen | March 7, 2011 10:10 AM
I know most of this stuff might be true... but it might not be. The big question is not Who is Alex Pettyfer, it is WHO CARES? I liked I am number four and am excited to see beastly. What does it matter if he is an awful person? I think he is a pretty good actor so I dont care who hes like as a person. I'm never gonna meet him or know him so unless you are planning on dating him anytime soon, ask yourself, "Who cares what hes like."
Georgia | March 6, 2011 6:56 AM
alright, so obviously pettyfer is only 20, how else would he look about 15 in the stormbreaker movie a couple of years ago? and a message to IAM#2, honey have you ever heard of the phrase "not everything you read is true"? i hate to break it to you all, but people LIE. There could be some truth in some stuff about him, but to sit there on your little computer and say 'this stuff is 110% true' is being a lier. you don't know if it's true unless you heard him say it or actually saw him refuse to do reshoots. And to the rest of you all, get a bloody grip. He's just an actor. ALL actors get slandered in magizines and lied about, and you know why they do it... it's because people like you out here believe every word that comes out of their insignificant mouths! i'm gonna go out on a limb here and say i bet none of you could find an actor thats been in a big movie that hasn't had some gossipist bitch about them... or had a no body say they couldn't act. if alex couldn't act, then why would he be making millions of dollars in blockbuster movies?
bob | February 20, 2011 8:59 AM
i think that you all need to be thankful that there are great actors and actresses out there that make wonderful movies, i think his movies are great, if he asks for ten million then deal with it you could always go out there and try and be in the movie yourself im guessing that if you can bad mouth him this much then you can all act better than him!!!!!!!
Thats right - we can all act better than him. Not exactly a hard thing to achieve.

fleur | February 20, 2011 5:06 AM
Dear IAM#2: I have no interest in the subject-matter at hand, but if you're going to comment on people's spelling then let me point out that your grasp of English grammar is questionable. It's supposed to be "...if it weren't true", ok?
glenn | February 19, 2011 4:45 AM
Pettyfer and taylor lautner share and agent and PR team, which pretty much tells you all you need to know. It's the same entitlement, the ridiculous asking price with no track record to justify it, and probably the same fast implosion.
Laughin' | February 17, 2011 7:14 AM
Stories of his sense of self-worth are even more hilarious when you see his IAN4 performance.
IAM#2 | February 17, 2011 12:31 AM
Dear Incredulous (er....Alex or Alex' agent since you can obviously spell)
They wouldn't be writing it if it wasn't true. name ONE other up and coming actor the media has attacked like this?? Come on, just one. You can't.
thomasd5 | February 16, 2011 2:58 AM
@dana He's twenty (born April 10th, 1990).
@BuntyHoven Actually the movie is called stormbreaker and thogh it didn't have too much promotion obviously due to financial resons it is still a great movie and Alex Pettyfer made a perfect Alex Rider impersonation !
@ all others: first of all perhaps nobody should take all that rumors too seriously.
Secondly, who would be happy and motivated if he/she found out that a co-worker gets more money for less work ? If you'd like to do that, just go to your boss and tell him you want to do more work and want to have a wage cut, too !
!!!!!!!!!!!! | February 15, 2011 12:51 AM
Yes he may be irritating but name oneactor who isn't he may be cocky but who isn't stop waisting your time whining about him and just either don't care and not givehom the time of day or forget about it. If you refused to watch something just because one actor in it is a jerk you would not watch ANYTHING every actor is cocky and the 10mil was probably him starting high so he could negotiate down. Yes he's aheadof himself but WHO ISNT
Incredulous | February 13, 2011 7:44 AM
Gosh, a much more balanced take on this story, but then the same three people who go to every comments section, using multiple user names, for every story about Alex Pettyfer show up and spit out the some unsupported accusations. I have advice for you "IAM#2", at least change the wording on your bullshit if you really want people to think that you are more than one person. And if you have any real supportable facts to share, which surely you don't, come out and show your evidence, instead of posting anonymously like a coward.
IAM#2 | February 11, 2011 2:59 AM
What was printed in the Reporter is 110% fact. They even omitted some of his BS. Like refusing to do reshoots on Beastly that he was contractually obligated to do. And "developing" a biopic isn't making another movie with him. If IANF doesn't hit big he can kiss that film and any subsequent sequels bye bye. The nerve spitting on a $5M contract handed to him as a no name.
geha714 | February 11, 2011 2:22 AM
An article in the Daily Mail says he's 20.
If Dianna Agron is older that him (she's 24), that makes her a cougar?
Sean | February 10, 2011 9:46 AM
wow. a no name asking for 10 mill. someone obviously cares about their craft.
carrie | February 10, 2011 7:50 AM
but who is this guy? how can he ask 10 millions $? even Damon or Patthinson don't ask 10 millions $ by movie
fanny bunz | February 10, 2011 6:14 AM
great, another talentless pretty face "might be" an asshole. big fucking surprise. it's a shame there's not a way to just kill these jerkoffs' careers before they ever start. oh wait - there is. don't hire assholes just because they're pretty. pretty only sells so many seats.
BuntyHoven | February 10, 2011 4:31 AM
I'm sure I read a piece ages ago about how he was a precocious little shit on the set of that Stormrider piece of shit.
dana | February 10, 2011 4:22 AM
He looks 30, but some people insist that he is younger. I wonder how old he really is.

Hey guys, I'm a Bronco fan and a proud member of Mile High Report. That was a heck of a game our teams played yesterday! Even though you guys came up with the short end of the stick, I wanted to congratulate the Vikings on a hard-fought battle, and I wanted to thank folks such as Grime and Christopher Gates for being gentlemen and great ambassadors for your fan site! It was a pleasure to converse with you guys and I look forward to visiting the Daily Norseman as we go forward.
Though losing is never a comfortable proposition, I think you guys should be hopeful with some of the great talent your team has as you look to build and improve. Christian Ponder is a keeper fellahs! He is a hell of an athlete. I believe he has a football IQ that can develop and rival some of the great thinkers at the position. He has great instincts and can make plays on his own. Don't be discouraged by his mistakes, as his understanding of the game improves, so will his decision making, and when that happens, I sure don't want to face him! Percy Harvin is an absolute playmaker and the coaches are utilizing his skills in a lot of different ways. You have one of the premiere pass rushers in the game. Gerhart also impressed and is a great compliment to the one man wrecking crew in Adrian Peterson. You guys have a lot of pieces and as seen by your great run a few years ago, and are not that far away from being contenders in a very tough NFC North.
I know as fans you have had your hearts broken many times. I can sympathize...I lived through embarrassing defeats in the super bowl to the tune of 42-10 and 55-10. But just know that as low as the defeats are, the victories in those games are a million times better. When you guys get your shot at the Lombardi Trophy, you'll have a Bronco fan rooting along with you...so long as you aren't facing my team;) Good luck with the rest of the season, you guys are always welcomed over at MHR!

So who do we REALLY have on our team with these young guns? I would really love to hear from the minds of Celtic nation, who you think our newest possible stars can potentially be. Maybe a worst case and best case scenario?
BEST = Charles Barkley
WORST = Big Baby Davis
BEST = Russel Westbrook with better D
WORST = Tony Allen
I am so excited about these two dudes turning the season around.

Family of Edward Sinker pay tribute to their 'loving father'
Updated 11:16am Wednesday 6th November 2013 in News
THE family of a man who died in a crash on the Hereford to Ledbury Road have paid tribute to the 'loving father'.
Edward Sinker, aged 68 of Bosbury, died in a collision on the A438 near Pixley in Herefordshire on Friday.
The talented genealogy researcher and keen gardener was born in New York and served in the U.S. Army in Vietnam from 1966-68.
He moved to England in 1970 and married Linda Sullivan in 1974. They moved to Bosbury in 1983.
Paul said: "Initially, my father worked as an orchard manager at a local farm. He then worked at Ledbury Preserves and, later, at European Aviation in Ledbury. Linda died in 2011. He retired from European Aviation a year ago.
"He was a talented genealogy researcher. In addition to building a comprehensive database about his own family, he was active in genealogical circles worldwide, helping people find detailed information about their ancestry. He also loved gardening and being outside.
"My father's quiet and steady presence will be missed."
Ed is survived by his children Madeleine and Paul; by his eldest brother, Frederic Sinker of Chicago; a niece, a nephew and three great-nephews.
Details of the service will be announced at a later date.
Police are appealing for witnesses to the collision between Mr Sinker's VW Polo travelling from Tarrington towards Ledbury and a Scania lorry travelling in the opposite direction at about 3.20pm on November 1 to come forward.
Anyone with any information can call 101 quoting reference number 406s 011113.

Women's Tennis downs Eastern Kentucky, 6-1
March 12, 2007
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The Dolphins (8-3, 3-1 A-Sun) smashed the Colonels, 6-1, earning their eight staright win. Emese Sulyos and Lena Willi combined to defeat Pimenova and Sitnikova, 8-1, in No. 1 singles, while winning No. 1 and 2 singles respectively.

The 2014 Major League Baseball season began on March 22 in Sydney, Australia, between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Arizona Diamondbacks.[1] The North American part of the season will start on March 30 and end on September 28.
The Major League Baseball All-Star Game's 85th edition will be held on July 15 at Target Field in Minneapolis, Minnesota, home of the Minnesota Twins. The winning league will once again receive home-field advantage during the World Series, something that has happened since the 2003 season.
This year the Houston Astros will host the Civil Rights Game on May 30 at Minute Maid Park. They will play host to the Baltimore Orioles.[2]
This will also be the final season of Bud Selig as the Commissioner of Baseball. Selig served as the Executive Council Chairman from 1992 to 1998, acting as the commissioner, and then was appointed as the official commissioner in 1998.[3]
No significant changes were made to the 2014 schedule. As was the case in 2013, teams will play 19 games against each division opponent for a total of 76 games, and 6 or 7 games against each team from the other two divisions in its league for a total of 66 games. All teams will play 20 interleague games, with the majority of match-ups following the divisional rotation that has been in place since 2004. For 2014, the matchups will be AL East vs. NL Central, AL Central vs. NL West, and AL West vs. NL East. Teams will play four games against a designated "rival" in two back-to-back two-game series, one home and one away. Unlike 2013, where all of these series were played during the same week, these rivalry series will be spread from early May through mid-August. The table below shows the interleague rivals for the 2014 season.
|AL East
|NL East
|AL Central
|NL Central
|AL West
|NL West
|Red Sox
|White Sox
|Blue Jays
On August 15, 2013, Major League Baseball announced that it will expand its video review process for the 2014 season, and MLB clubs unanimously approved the new rules on January 16, 2014. Managers are now able to challenge certain plays no more than twice per game, including force plays, fair or foul balls, and batters hit by a pitch, among others. If a manager exhausts his ability to challenge plays during the game and after the beginning of the seventh inning, the Crew Chief may choose to invoke instant replay on any reviewable call. Calls that are challenged will be reviewed by a crew in MLB headquarters in New York City, which will make the final ruling.[4][5]
On December 11, 2013, the Playing Rules Committee voted overwhelmingly to outlaw home-plate collisions between runners and catchers.[6] On February 24, 2014, the new rule was put into effect as Rule 7.13 was released.[7]
At the end of the 2013 season, the following teams made replacements to their managers.
|Former manager
|Reason for leaving
|New manager
|Seattle Mariners
|Eric Wedge
|Lloyd McClendon
|Wedge declined to return on September 27, 2013 as he missed part of the season with a partial stroke. He finished with a 213–273 record in three seasons.[8] McClendon was announced as the new manager on November 5, 2013.[9] McClendon previously managed the Pittsburgh Pirates from 2001–2005 and compiled a 336–446 record.[10]
|Chicago Cubs
|Dale Sveum
|Rick Renteria
|Fired by the Cubs after two seasons and a record of 127–197.[11] Renteria was named manager on November 7, 2013 after being the bench coach for the San Diego Padres the last two seasons.[12]
|Washington Nationals
|Davey Johnson
|Matt Williams
|Announced on November 12, 2012 that the 2013 season would be his last. He finished with a record of 224–183 in his three seasons.[13] Matt Williams was announced on October 31, 2013 as the new manager.[14]
|Cincinnati Reds
|Dusty Baker
|Bryan Price
|Fired by the Reds after six seasons and a record of 509–463.[15] Price has served as the Reds pitching coach for four seasons.[16][17]
|Detroit Tigers
|Jim Leyland
|Resigned and Retired
|Brad Ausmus
|Resigned on October 21, 2013 and then retired the next day with a record of 700–597 (.540) with three division titles (2011–13) and two AL pennants (2006 and 2012).[18] Ausmus was announced as the next manager on November 3, 2013.[19]
The following teams will wear commemorative patches for special occasions:
|Special occasion
|Atlanta Braves
|To commemorate the 40th anniversary of Hank Aaron's 715th home run
|Baltimore Orioles
|60th anniversary in Baltimore
|Boston Red Sox
|To commemorate their 2013 World Series championship
|Chicago Cubs
|Wrigley Field's 100th anniversary
|Minnesota Twins
|Host city of the 2014 MLB All-Star Game
|New York Mets
|Remembrance of the life of long time broadcaster Ralph Kiner[29]
|Oakland Athletics
|25th Anniversary World Series Champions Reunion
|San Diego Padres
|Remembrance of the life of long time broadcaster Jerry Coleman
In addition to ten Cubs throwbacks to mark the 100th anniversary of Wrigley Field, selected teams will wear throwbacks throughout the season:
This will be first year of the new eight-year TV contracts with ESPN, Fox Sports, and TBS. ESPN will air Sunday Night Baseball, some Monday Night games and Wednesday night games, Fox Sports will air Saturday games and TBS will air Sunday games.
Contract provisions in ESPN's contract will virtually eliminate local blackouts among the network's Monday and Wednesday night games, allowing ESPN coverage to co-exist with that of the local broadcasters in home markets.[31][32] Sunday Night Baseball blackout rules will still apply.
Fox Sports' contract also covers Fox Sports 1, which will begin its first year of Major League Baseball coverage, airing regular-season games over 26 Saturdays. As a result, MLB regular season coverage on the Fox network will be reduced to 12 weeks beginning in 2014.[33] [34]
In the post-season, TBS and ESPN will air two Wild Card Games. TBS and Fox Sports will air the Division Series, while TBS will air the American League Championship Series. Fox Sports will air the All-Star Game, National League Championship Series, and World Series.
This will also be the first year of new eight-year contracts for national broadcasts in Canada. Sportsnet, owned by Rogers Communications (and sister company of the Toronto Blue Jays), continues to be the primary rightsholder, retaining rights to the All-Star Game, the Home Run Derby, and all postseason games. In total (including Canada-wide rights to all Blue Jays games which are acquired directly from the team), Sportsnet's various channels will carry almost 300 MLB games per season until 2021.[35] As part of the deal, Rogers Cable became the Canadian launch partner for MLB Network, which was not previously available in Canada.
Separately, TSN announced its own eight-year deal to expand its MLB coverage. Having carried ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball since 2010 under sublicense from Sportsnet, TSN and TSN2 will now carry all of ESPN's regular-season coverage (ESPN being a minority partner in TSN), adding Monday Night Baseball and Wednesday Night Baseball, totalling over 75 games per year.[36]
The New York Yankees left WCBS, which was their radio home for 12 years, but the rights remained with CBS Radio's New York cluster, as they moved to WCBS's sister station WFAN with a new rights agreement, which allows an FM simulcast with WFAN-FM.[38] The move to WFAN means that the New York Mets will move to WOR (purchased by Clear Channel in late 2012) for the 2014 season, as they had been on WFAN since 1987.[38]

Corvallis Menus
Corvallis Menus
Corvallis School District Food & Nutrition Services is committed to providing healthy meals for their students. We offer a variety of entree options every day, including vegetarian options.
As part of our Farm to School program, we offer local fruits and vegetables whenever possible. We feel it's important to give the best possible foods to the children and people we serve. Providing local produce means more flavorful food while supporting area farmers.
Corvallis menus are created on a 4-week rotation that remains fairly consistent for the entire school year. Periodically, we make changes to the menus due to school schedules, special occasions, or food availability. Much of the food is prepared at the Corvallis Central Kitchen and sent to each school kitchen where Food Service personnel ready it for serving. Some items are made in the individual school kitchens to ensure students are getting the best quality meals. All Corvallis schools offer full salad bars to their students in an effort to encourage them to eat more fruits and vegetables and also as a vegetarian lunch option.
Spanish versions now available!
Thanks to a partnership with First Alternative Co-op and the Benton County Health Department, we have been able to offer a Spanish translation of our menus to elementary schools and on our website so Latino families and dual language learners have an option. The First Alternative menus have side by side listings and are handed out each month at the schools.
Nutritional Analysis
Nutrition and healthy eating has been in the spotlight and bringing increasing awareness to the health-related risks of being overweight or eating foods of low nutritional value. Diabetes and many diseases are affected by certain foods that are eaten, and knowing certain facts help to control the effects of these diseases. We provide a nutritional analysis of the foods we serve in our cafeterias to give individuals and families the information they need.

Process Compression: Technologies and Strategies for Faster Product Development
Numerous factors contribute to the success of a manufacturer and the products it produces. Time to market, efficiency of operation, product quality, engineering innovation, and market-driven designs, among others. The linchpin holding all these elements together is the product development process, from the early conceptual stages of design through release to manufacturing and beyond, with engineering activities often devoted to retrofits, upgrades, and other engineering changes throughout the entire product lifecycle.
