The Actiped fitness monitor is a shoe-clip accelerometer that tracks your steps and calculates distance and calories burned. It uploads wirelessly to your computer via a USB ActiLink stick and connects to the ActiHealth website where you can view graphs and charts of steps, activity time, distance and calories burned. The upload is automatic and effortless. The only drawback is that there is no steps display or goal progress indicator on the unit, you must go online to see your steps and other data. To use this product, you need a PC running Windows and an Internet connection. Fitlinxx has an updated version, the Pebble, which has a circle of 12 lights that indicate how you are progressing towards your goal. They also debuted the Spark Activity Tracker in 2013, which integrates with the SparkPeople.com web site.
ActiPed Shoe Pod
The ActiPed Shoe Pod is an accelerometer that detects your foot motion to record steps and speed. It translates this into walking steps and running steps. Even if you don't run, any quick motions get recorded as running steps.
Clip the ActiPed onto your shoe - through the shoelaces if it is a laced shoe or on the top of the shoe if it is a slip-on.
Size: The Actiped is about the size of a half dollar coin.
Noise: It is silent.
Accuracy: I compared the ActiPed with an Omron pedometer that edits out "junk steps." The ActiPed appears to record all foot motions and doesn't edit out the junk steps. But it appears to be fairly accurate for continuous walking. For accurate distance, there is a calibration tool on the ActiHealth web site.
Battery Life: The battery is not replaceable, you need to get a new Actiped when the battery dies. When logged into the web site, you can see how much battery life you have left on the battery. It appears to me that it would last about 6-12 months with constant use.
Uploading Your Actiped Data
To use the ActiPed, you need the ActiLink USB wireless stick. If you have several people each using an ActiPed and uploading from one computer, you only need one ActiLink.
On first use, you download and install the ActiHealth Client software, and set a few basic bits of information about yourself. Weight is needed to calculate your calories burned. The set-up was easy.
System requirements: You must be running one of the following systems: Win98 Second Edition, Windows 2000, Windows ME, or Windows XP. Mac and Linux users can view their data with browsers IE 6, Mozilla, Safari.
Once set up, the upload is automatic any time you get within a few feet of the ActiLink (assuming the computer is on and running and connected to the internet). This is by far the easiest, most effortless uploading pedometer I've seen so far. You don't have to tell it to do it, it just does it.
The ActiPed stores up to 12 days worth of data, so you should try to upload at least every 12 days.
ActiHealth Web Site
To get to the ActiHealth web site and view your data, you can click on the AH icon in your system tray, or use your browser. Again, they make this so simple that I am sure I could train my non-techno Mom to do it without any problem.
On the Dashboard, you can see daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly graphs for your steps, calories burned, active minutes and distance.
The daily activity chart shows walking and running steps per each 15 minutes. Any time you have a constant activity for 15 minutes or more, it gives you a total of steps, time, calories and distance for that activity.
The Activity Journal section breaks the day down into running, walking, and moving steps, calories, and miles.
Goals: You can set your daily target goal for each measurement: steps, calories, active minutes and distance. Your percent of achievement of this goal is shown with a bar and percentage, as well as on the bar chart.
You can also set health goals for weight, blood pressure, percent body fat, blood glucose and cholesterol. You would have to input those values yourself as they are not tracked by the ActiPed.
Weekly, Monthly, Yearly Screens: These screens show your totals over the desired time period and average per day, and how that compares to the goals you have set. You can also see each measurement tracked with a bar graph.
Comparison to Other Uploading Pedometers
The ActiPed reminds me of the earliest version on SportBrain in that there is no display of step data on the unit itself. You have to go online to see how you are doing. For me, much of motivational value of a pedometer comes from seeing your step total throughout the day and then upping your activity. The ActiPed folks say they are working on including a display in the future.
Walking Workouts: The ActiPed, Omron 720 and the FitBug do not give the same level of detail for a walking workout that the SportBrain and DashTrak do. They gives only total and aerobic (or walking and running) steps per hour and do not calculate speed. But you also don't have to remember to turn them on to record a Step Event as you do with the DashTrak.
Nutrition Tracking Tools: The ActiHealth site doesn't allow for any nutrition/diet tracking. The Fitbug web site is a one-stop diet and activity program for those who are able to calculate their portions.
Pedometer Size: The ActiPed is small and weighs almost nothing. My friends noticed it on my shoe, but given that I am a known walking guru, nobody questioned me wearing it around the office. It beats having a large pedometer on your waistband - unless you also want to wear one so you can see your steps throughout the day when you aren't online.
Pedometer Accuracy: The pedometer is very accurate for a continuous walk, but it counts junk steps as regular steps. You can calibrate your ActiPed for distance using a tool on the web site.
Overall: I rate the system as excellent in its ease of use, but I miss having a display when not online. I would prefer the Pebble, with its progress-indicator lights, or the Spark, which debuted in October, 2013.

The Montreal Canadiens have come to a deal with 23 year old center Lars Eller for two more years. Eller will still be a restricted free agent when the deal is done.
Eller took a big leap developmentally last season, being relied on for secondary tough matchups as well as big minutes on the penalty kill, something he'd never done before. Eller replied to the challenge with aplomb, putting up 16 goals (2 shorthanded) in his sophomore season and putting up some of the best penalty killing of any player in the NHL.
Eller also put up a game for the ages this year, scoring 4 goals against the Winnipeg Jets, including a beautiful spinerama on a penalty shot for the fourth goal.
Lars Eller's 4 goal, 5 point night against the Jets (via rvwv89)
What makes Eller's season even more impressive is that it was coming off of a summer where he had major shoulder surgery (the same surgery as Louis Leblanc) which prevented him from bulking up. Eller also had the worst quality of teammates of any Habs forward last season, which meant that almost all his even strength scoring was done despite his situation. Look for a much stronger, fitter Lars Eller this season, and he already looked strong last year, standing 6'2".
Update: Lars Eller will make $2.65M in total over his 2 year deal, $1.325M against the cap each year.

Good to see #Isner beat Novak. Now do it in a major!!!!! Oh and Federer beat Nadal. Maybe Roger is not wash up after all.—
nicholas freije (@nickfreije) March 18, 2012
Even though it didn't happen at a major, American John Isner managed to shock the world by beating the nationally recognized best tennis player in the world, Novak Djokovic.
From ESPN:
John Isner fired 20 aces, including one at 135 mph on his fourth match point, to beat top-ranked Novak Djokovic 7-6 (7), 3-6, 7-6 (5) Saturday in the BNP Paribas Open semifinals.
Isner will take on No. 3 Roger Federer in Sunday's final. Federer topped No. 2 Rafael Nadal 6-3, 6-4 in the other semifinal.
Isner is trying to become the first American winner in the desert since Andre Agassi in 2001.
If Federer beats Isner, his reunion-with-old-trophies tour continues. Rotterdam after 7 years, Dubai after 5 years, and IW after 6 years!—

Roger Federer beat Rafael Nadal 6-3, 6-4 to reach BNP Paribas Open final for the fourth time & will face John Isner.—

There is nothing more painful to a sports fan than to see a promising young talent see their dream derailed by injury. The Panthers have certainly had their share of injury heartbreak the last few seasons. This year's first (and hopefully last) season-ending injury was to WR Jason Carter who tore his ACL towards the end of Saturday's game against the Redskins. The injury occurred at the end of a 30 yard punt return, his best effort of the night.
Here's to hoping for a full recovery so he can give it another go next season. Good luck Jason.
In other roster news, the Panthers made four other moves to complete the cut down to 75:
CB Curtis Deloatch – Deloatch failed to impress enough to unseat Ricardo Colclough who will now make the team given the Carter injury.
DE Casper Brinkley – The home grown product from USC just doesn't have the speed, size and athleticism to compete at this time. He would have made a great story if he could have somehow found his way on the roster but the Panthers are too deep at DE (did I really just say that?)
TE Chris Conklin – With five TE's on the roster this was an easy cut as Chad Upshaw has seen more minutes plus he gets the sympathy vote.
QB Lester Ricard – Ricard played pretty good at times and showed improvement though out camp. Whether he gets a shot with another team I don't know but he has nothing to feel bad about. The kid gave it all he could but Brett Basanez has a better grasp on the offense and looked a little more polished with his mechanics and throws.
Don't forget the Panthers play on Thursday night again as they complete the preseason against the Steelers.

Arredondo's gone, Matt Capps' is available. Close to, if not, a no brainer for Ragin' Reagins???
His velocity and durability would be nice as a pre-closer.......or as a Fuentes safety valve.
He'd also be a huge upgrade over the [thank God] departed Speier and would have to be grateful to come to Anaheim after years in Pittsburgh. I suspect that Tracy will grab him for Colorado, but its worth a tumble.....or he could be JJ Putz 2010.

Well, that was enjoyable for stretches of time. I thought the game was enjoyable and I'm happy with a 49ers win, but there are those who will most definitely be upset and raise all kinds of hell due to it. But in my mind, the 49ers are fine anywhere within the top ten. This draft is deep at quarterback and cornerback, and any of the top five guys at the CB position are worthy starters to me. Only one quarterback is worth a top-eight pick, and he's going first overall. It's not the end of the world. It looks as though the 49ers will be picking 7th overall.
The first half saw largely what one might expect from the 49ers and Cardinals both. Arizona had -14 yards and no first downs going into the second quarter, and John Skelton was sacked three times. The 49ers defense played hard, the linebackers and defensive line especially. It was a little different in the second quarter, the 49ers got some points on the board, but then again, so did Arizona. For some reason, Tramaine Brock was on Larry Fitzgerald on at least two occasions, and guess what happened? Larry caught the football. He caught the football a lot.
Anthony Dixon ran hard, Alex Smith was mostly on target and limited bad decisions. Brian Westbrook got cracked bad, and Josh Morgan was of the opinion that yet another pass came down like a punt. The 49ers played well, or maybe it isn't well, depending on your draft outlook.
The second half was even better, or even worse, again, for the 49ers. Ahmad Brooks picked up his first career interception and Brian Westbrook had a pair of six-yard touchdown runs, one with a fall and one without. Alex Boone played some left tackle and looked good doing it. Tarell Brown covered Larry Fitzgerald once and it was special.
I won't be attending the postgame press conference, I need to get going, but I'd say my time in the press box has been successful, I look forward to returning here next season.

LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- I've always wanted to do a media column. Not necessarily criticizing anybody, especially not the people I work with locally. But I think there's some interest -- even if only mild interest -- in the goings on with local media and not only that, but the sports viewing habits we have locally.I've never done it. One problem was that while I was in the newspaper business, I didn't have ready access to local television ratings.That's not the case anymore. With the help of Ray Foushee at WDRB, I can get a glimpse now and then at what we're viewing in sports around here -- in the Louisville market anyway -- and that gives me a chance to take a look at a few things.So I'm going to start this out on the blog and see how it develops. I might be the only one interested in this stuff, but maybe not. I'll try to, in future weeks, include some ratings nuts and bolts, and media goings on, if there are any, stuff to watch for and the like.CARDS, CATS GO HEAD TO HEAD ON TVSome interesting TV numbers for the Saturday noon kickoffs. Not only did UK fans stay away from Commonwealth Stadium, they weren't watching the game at home, either -- at least not in the Louisville market.The UK game did a 1.7 average rating and a 4 share on ESPNU. In Louisville, each ratings point represents an estimated 6,740 households. Note, that's households, not people. Even on ESPNU, which doesn't reach as many homes as the main ESPN channels, that's a low number for this market.At U of L, meanwhile, the ABC telecast on WHAS television did an 11.6 rating and a 24 share -- which is an impressive share for any telecast (78,184 households).
The ratings are subject to final adjustment.Considering there were 11,000 no-shows in Papa John's Cardinal Stadium, it's pretty safe to assume that a good many of those were watching in HD instead of PJCS. The game was a sellout and not subject to blackout.BREEDERS' CUP CAN'T ROLL THE TIDEThe Breeders' Cup Classic telecast in prime time on NBC did a better rating locally (3.4 rating, 6 share) than it did nationally (2.2 rating), but still wasn't very competitive head-to-head against college football's marquee matchup.The Classic went head-to-head with the CBS pregame show and start of LSU-Alabama. For the head-to-head period, the pregame show and football did a 7.05 rating, 13 share (about 47,517 households) and the game as a whole did a 7.6 rating, 12 share.The rest of Saturday's Breeders' Cup races, on NBC Sports Channel, did an 0.5 rating, 1 share, or only about 3,370 households. TOP NFL GAMESThe Dolphins-Colts (7.8) beat the Bears-Titans (4.8) among the early games in the Louisville market. The Steelers-Giants did a 15.0 rating, 25.0 share in the afternoon, the market's highest-rated sports telecast of the weekend for CBS and NBC's Sunday Night Football did a 9.5, 15 share.WDRB CUES UP COLLEGE HOOPS SPECIAL FOR PRIME TIMEWednesday night at 10:30, WDRB will air "3 For The Road," a half-hour college basketball preview special built around the unprecedented occurrence of IU, U of L and UK being ranked 1-2-3 to start the season.The program features one-on-one interviews with Indiana coach Tom Crean (by Rick Bozich), U of L coach Rick Pitino (by me) and UK coach John Calipari (by Tom Lane).On-set segments were shot in the KFC Yum! Center, and not really having done anything like that before, with the kind of tight schedule you're on while taping such a program, it was an interesting experience.One of the tough things about television is having only 10 seconds to try to say something substantive in a fast-paced conversation. The best guys at it over at ESPN make it look easy, but for someone who is used to taking a few hundred words to make a point, it takes some getting used to.One feature of the show -- WDRB surveyed 41 journalists, local and national, to determine two things: An All-Kentuckiana team made up of five players from the three teams, and which coach each voter would choose to quote the squad. The five will be revealed on the show, and the coach, with comments from the media voters.

East Asian History
It is hard to overstate the importance of East Asia. China is home to one of the world's oldest civilizations, with unique religious and philosophical traditions. The allure of Orient fueled the ambitions of early modern European explorers, and the military and economic power of East Asian states has assured their continued prominence. From the ways that pre-modern Asia helped shape the world to modern trans-Pacific international relations, knowledge of East Asian history has become essential to those interested in everything from business and politics to science and education.
MSU is an excellent place to explore that history and pursue advanced study of Asia. The university's Asian connections extend back to the 1880s, when students from Japan enrolled in what was then Michigan Agricultural College. Since then, MSU faculty have developed study abroad programs in many Asian countries and regularly conduct research across the continent. Distinguished scholars including Warren Cohen, Atsuko Hirai, Kwan-wai So, and Steve Averill have taught East Asian history at Michigan State during the last half-century. Today three core faculty members comprise the East Asian field: Aminda M. Smith specializes in Chinese history, Charles Keith is a scholar of Vietnam, and Ethan Segal focuses on Japan. Their research interests range from urban and gender history to communist ideology and thought reform, and from music as a means of political protest to nationalism, education, and popular culture. In addition, history faculty Sayuri Shimizu and Gordon Stewart study Asian topics including twentieth-century East Asian-U.S. relations, the development of Japanese baseball, and the British in India and Tibet.
The department's East Asia faculty also work closely with scholars in Anthropology, Political Science, Linguistics & Languages, and many other departments across the university when directing graduate students with interdisciplinary interests. Michigan State's Asian Studies Center is a Title VI nationally recognized graduate resource center. Through speaker series, cultural events, and conferences, the center promotes active dialogue and engagement with topics of interest to those studying Asia on campus. Graduate students can apply to the center for FLAS fellowships that cover tuition and offer a stipend in support of the study of Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and several other languages in the U.S. or abroad. Furthermore, MSU is the proud home of Studies on Asia, a peer-reviewed on-line academic journal, as well as MATRIX and H-Net, which host several dozen electronic discussion groups, including H-Japan, H-Asia and H-Buddhism. Our students are well prepared to compete for positions as an increasing number of colleges and universities seek historians of Asia. Recent scholarly publications by former students cover a wide range of topics including ethnicity and identity among Manchu women, Chinese tea houses as sites of social rebellion, and architecture as an expression of urban power in medieval Japan. MSU graduates have gone on to hold posts at academic institutions such as the University of Sydney, Texas A & M, the College of New Jersey, and in the California State University system, as well as to work in government, business, and education.
We welcome applications from qualified students interested in pursuing doctoral study of Asian history. Please feel free to contact the department for more information.

Frank Isola's newest article in the Daily News is just absurd. We've all become accustomed to this kind of stuff from him, but his obsession with exposing James Dolan as an irrational tyrant doesn't even make for entertaining tabloid writing any longer. The general tone of negativity in the article linked above is over the top, and Isola frequently contradicts himself - such as writing that the Knicks haven't improved at all this off season, and simultaneously claiming that the Bargnani and Metta acquisitions are positive ones... wait... what?
Beyond those contradictions in his reasoning, his further justification for saying the Knicks have gotten worse is that, apparently, the Knicks are the only team in the NBA that has a couple of players mending injuries from last season, and that - if I'm interpreting his suggestion correctly - those injured Knicks will never heal... like never ever -- and oh yeah, the Knicks are also "headed for a fall" because Iman Shumpert supposedly annoyed James Dolan over a year ago, and that Tyson Chandler had a "disappointing Spring", so naturally, as any astute basketball writer would conclude, he will have a disappointing 2013-2014 season as well. Good 'Ole Frank also does good work in reminding us just how devastating the Tim Hardaway Jr. wrist injury will be for next season's Knicks. After all, any reasonable analyst knows how debilitating a summer league wrist injury to a rookie player that is "no more serious than a bruise or a sprain" can be. I mean, geez, it might take Hardaway Jr. a whole two weeks this July to recover from that devastating blow, and will pretty much kill the Knicks playoff chances come next Spring. Finally, lets not forget one last good point by Isola, and the true nail in the coffin for the Knicks 2013-2014 season - the dreaded Amare Stoudemire minutes restriction. How can the Knicks possibly improve with Amare playing restricted minutes! I mean, he was so pivotal in the Knicks success last sea... oh wait.
But really, we can't overlook the true wisdom Isola has been trying to pass on to us readers all these years -- that its all about Dolan's maniacal idea that MSG should profit, market the team and provide entertainment. It's very obvious at this point that James Dolan wanting to make money, market the team and entertain his fan base is what really stops the Knicks from winning, and what separates him from other owners. Obviously, if Dolan would just stop caring about making money and entertaining us the way other NBA owners don't care about money and entertaining their fans, then the Knicks would've probably won a few championships this decade and wouldn't be such a joke.

Albany-- Improving the outlook of downtown Albany could be as simple as changing the face of a business. The city has plenty of money to help make that change.
Business owners can get a grant to pay 80 percent of façade improvements to their establishments. $100,000 of the $150,000 originally set aside for the program about a year ago is still available.
Tommy Chatmon says the façade improvements would make a big difference to the business strip on Broad Avenue.
"We'd certainly like to encourage businesses in that central business district, right in that 200 block of Broad and one of the blocks of Washington and Jackson to come in because we think it could make a real impact," said Chatmon.
Each owner can get up to $5,000. A committee must approve their design. For more information on facade improvements, call 229-430-3190 or go to the Albany Tomorrow office at 125 Pine Avenue, Suite 200.

Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
- 2 packages active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 cup 110-degree water
- 1/2 cup solid vegetable shortening
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) margarine
- 1 cup boiling water
- 3 large beaten eggs
- 7 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cold water
- 1/2 medium union, diced finely

- Keeping other pieces of dough, covered, on lightly floured surface, roll 1 piece of dough into a rectangle 18-by-7 inches. Brush with melted margarine and sprinkle on 1/6 of the onions. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon poppyseeds. Roll jellyroll fashion. Cut into slices 1 3/4-inch wide. Place rolls seam side down on parchment-lined baking pan, spacing 2 inches apart, or in greased muffin tins. Cover with greased plastic wrap and let rise until doubled. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Brush rolls with 1 large egg yolk beaten with 1 tablespoon water. Sprinkle on a little salt and poppyseed. Bake 12-15 minutes or until golden. Cool completely. These rolls freeze well.

Firstly I am a huge Falcons fan. I am writing this with the intent of seeing a slightly different side of the Falcoholic, one that is a bit more dramatic and to look at possible scenarios that I would imagine, most of us wouldn't want to occur.
I do want to raise a few tough questions/scenarios and I'd love to see your responses/arguments. Saying that I don't want people to blatantly say I am wrong and that the scenario won't happen.
1. Matt Ryan is not good enough to win a Super Bowl.
What if Matt Ryan can't make the jump to being an elite quarterback and win a Super Bowl? Ryan is already considered on the fringe of being a top 10 player but if he can't make the leap to that top 5 group then could he really lead the team to a Super Bowl? Furthermore his playoff woes are well documented, so what if he becomes more Tony Romo than Peyton Manning and doesn't start playing well? Should we abandon him for someone else or keep going on a road that won't get us to what we all really want, a Super Bowl ring.
2. Asante Samuel isn't going to help on defense.
In the most recent preseason game, Asante Samuel was beaten by AJ Green on a long 50-ish yard pass. So what if he doesn't help our defense at all? What if he was let go for a 7th round pick because that is all he is worth? With a questionably thin depth chart in our linebackers it seems to me that we are focusing on our pass defense to stifle other teams. But if Grimes, Robinson and Samuel cannot improve on our 20th ranked passing defense. Then what chance do we have against players like Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady? And if we can't stop those players, how do we expect to win games?
3. The offensive line is no better this year
One of our biggest issues last year was our offensive line. Ryan got hit 80 times last season (7th worst in the league). This caused Ryan to rush passes and be generally ineffective. Though they helped Turner to a solid rushing season (3rd in the league), it is well known that the Falcons are going to rely on Ryan a lot more than Turner this season. If the offensive line can't Pass Block effectively, then will our whole team collapse? The line is largely unchanged from last year with only Peter Konz providing what seems like will be the only difference in regular personnel. With just one new player can we really expect better fortunes for the O-Line? And if our O-Line struggles can we really expect to make the playoffs again this season?
I will leave it to those 3 scenarios, though I have a few more that I could raise, regarding Turner, JJ and the coaches.
UPDATE: OK I wanna be really clear with this because from the initial comments I don't think I was. I don't believe any of these scenarios are true, so to say I don't any evidence to back up my points is irrelevant. This isn't an argument against the Falcons, its a hypothetical scenario to see what people think. Please don't just say that I am stupid and don't know what I am talking about, it's not the point of this article at all

The control panel on some Bosch dishwashers can overheat and may lead to a fire.
This recall also affects Neff and Siemens dishwashers as well.
4.5 years after they first launched their dishwasher recall in the US and 2 years after it was launched in the UK, Bosch has now extended this recall worldwide.
To find out more click on Bosch Dishwasher Recall Extended Worldwide
Bosch is recalling 632,000 dishwashers (across all brands) because of a potential issue with the dishwasher's control panel. The control panel can overheat and may lead to a fire.
Is your dishwasher affected by this recall?:-
If you have one of the recalled dishwashers Bosch will visit you to repair your machine.
To identify if you are the owner of one of the affected Bosch dishwashers, please do the following:-
The risk of fire only exists when the Bosch dishwasher is in use. If you are concerned about the risk please stop using the dishwasher and contact Bosch on freephone 0800 023 4881.
We have had another update from Bosch. They have now managed to find and repair 173,431 of the recalled dishwashers. This is up 5,000 on 2 weeks ago.
In the last month we have seen a remarkable increase in the number of additional dishwashers that Bosch has managed to find and repair. On the 12th March they had recalled nearly 153,000 dishwashers. On the 15th March ITV ran an extended report on the dishwasher recall and in the following month Bosch managed to find another 20,000 dishwashers.
We believe that most of this increase can be attributed to the ITV report that raised the awareness of people who had not seen Bosch's extensive advertising campaigns. However, it should be noted that Bosch was also running another newspaper advertising campaign at the same time.
In the 6 months prior to the ITV report Bosch had managed to find and repair approx. 2,000 recalled dishwashers. In the month following the ITV report they found 10 times as many.
After the ITV News reports on the missing Bosch Dishwashers there has been a huge increase in consumer awareness of this recall. This led to over 100,000 consumers visiting the RecallUK Bosch Dishwasher Recall page in just a few days.
This interest has helped Bosch achieve a 10% increase in the number of dishwashers they have managed to find and repair. They have now repaired 168,200 dishwashers, up 15,000 on 3 weeks ago.
Bosch has released figures showing they have managed to find and repair 152,957 of their recalled dishwashers. This figure is up 1.3% from September 2012.
For more on this click Bosch Dishwasher Recall - Update
Due to the number of incidents related to this recall the Dorset Fire Brigade has taken the unusual step of creating a video warning consumers of the risk of fire from the recalled Bosch, Neff and Siemens dishwashers.
For more details click Dorset Fire Brigade Video.
Bosch has relaunched their advertising campaign to publicise the overheating and potential fire issue with some of their dishwashers. Advertising will appear in a number of newspapers over the next 6 weeks alerting consumers to this issue.
If you have a Bosch Dishwasher please check that it is not one of the machines listed below.
On the 12th December we received an update from Bosch on this issue. In the UK there are 632,000 Dishwashers (of the 2.2m they sold in this period) that are affected by this issue. Bosch have performed an extensive communication campaign and in the 5 months since the recall was launched they have managed to track down and repair 137,612 of them. This works out at an average of 27,000 per month.
Bosch say they are continuing with this recall and expect their communication programmes and the number of dishwashers they repair to increase.

A tale of two coaches. Both coaches are first year coaches in the city of Denver. The first coach had no head coaching experience, the second had no professional head coaching experience. The first head coach could not coexist with the teams best player, the second coach lost his best player to retirement. Neither coach had high expectations for their respective teams going into their season. The first coach is Josh McDaniels the second is the Avalanche coach Joe Sacco. Although the two coaches have similar circumstances to begin their coaching career in Denver this is where the similarities stop.
Coach McDaniels decided that he needed to put his stamp on the Denver Broncos. After 2 seasons of mediocre to poor performances, coach McDaniels decided to bring in some veteran players along the defense to provide leadership and depth. McDaniels showed that he is a strong willed coach who allowed his personality to clash with the Broncos leader QB Jay Cutler. McDaniels decided that he could not coexist with Cutler and shipped him to the Bears. McDaniels and the Denver Broncos from then on were the source of ridicule all the way until the season began. McDaniels and co got off to a hot 6-0 start. The defense was playing "lights out" and Orton was playing pretty well and really had chemistry with Brandon Marshall. Then the wheels began to fall off. The defense started to slip, the offense began to sputter (the running game came to a halt) and Denver could only manage to win 2 more games of the final 10. McDaniels had a "falling out" with Defensive Coordinator Nolan, so Nolan is gone. McDaniels then had a problem with Brandon Marshall. Now Brandon Marshall is gone. McDaniels has a problem with Tony Scheffler. Sheffler has since signed his tender and is expected to be traded at the time of this writing. Tony will be the next to go. Even the biggest Josh McDaniels fan has to admit that his people skills are atrocious! Coach McDaniels has a high football IQ but needs to learn how to inspire players to be their best and needs to learn how to coexist on a personal level with his team. He could learn from Avalanche coach Joe Sacco.
Coach Sacco said from day one that his team would reflect his hard-working personality. Coach Sacco inherited a team that finished dead last in the Western Conference with an abysmal 69 points. The hockey experts all predicted that the Avalanche would finish last in the Western Conference again. Coach Sacco decided to get younger and traded away forward Ryan Smyth to the LA Kings for defenseman Kyle Quincey. Coach Sacco saw potential in a backup goaltender from the Florida Panthers and signed Goalie Craig Anderson to a 1.5 million dollar contract. Like McDaniels, coach Sacco filled his coaching staff with solid coaches Like the Broncos, the Avs got off to a fast start behind strong Goaltending from Craig Anderson. Even though things were going well, coach Sacco did not appreciate the effort of some of his players. Forward Chris Stewart found himself in Sacco's doghouse and was sent back to the minors. How did Stewart respond? When the Avalanche began to suffer injuries, Stewart was called back up and finished the regular season with the second most points on the Avs roster. Coach Sacco noticed Stewart's performance and rewarded him with a spot on the top line with Paul Stasny. Later in the season, Coach Sacco had a problem with the effort that defenseman John-Michael Liles. Liles found himself in Sacco's doghouse and was benched (a "healthy scratch) for several games. How has Liles responded? Liles has since taken his game to another level and has been a regular contributor on the scoring sheet. Coach Sacco did send one player away like Josh McDaniels and it was slightly controversial as well. Sacco did not like the lack of defense by Wojtek Wolski so he traded him for two players Peter Mueller and Porter. Both are getting regular minutes. At the time Mueller was seen as a step back for the Avs as he had only scored 17 points in 60+ games. How did Mueller do playing for Coach Sacco? Mueller finished the season with 20 points in 15 games. The result? Coach Sacco guided the Avs to the playoffs!!! (At the time of this writing the Avs lead the Sharks in the playoffs 1-0)
Coach McDaniels should take a coaching class from Coach Sacco in how to inspire the team to give their maximum effort and how to deal with players once they find themselves in his doghouse. Shipping these players off is not being a good coach, it is being a bad GM. The sooner Coach McDaniels understands this the better!!

Color Vibe to colorize West Palm Beach runners on Feb. 22
- 7:55 am Tuesday, February 11th, 2014 by Staci Sturrock
Prepare to see red, feel blue and get tickled pink — all in a single morning, when the Color Vibe brings its fun run to the South Florida Fairgrounds on Feb. 22.
The untimed, 5K race, in which runners are doused with colored, cornstarch-based powder as they jog through four different color zones, is more about celebration than competition. It even ends with a dance party and color throw.
If Color Vibe's finale is anything like the wild conclusions of the Color Runs that took place in Miami the last two Octobers, you won't want to miss the Technicolor mosh pit.

Fed's Bullard says QE3 was launched too soon
ST. LOUIS (Reuters) - The Federal Reserve should have waited for clearer signs of a flagging economy before launching its new bond-buying program, the head of the St. Louis regional Fed bank said on Tuesday, adding that he would have voted against it.
James Bullard, president of the St. Louis Fed, also told Reuters that he is sufficiently concerned about the risk of future inflation that he backs a controversial proposal by congressional Republicans for the Fed to return to having only a single mandate: preventing inflation.
The Fed currently has a dual focus on full employment and stable prices.
In discussing his views on more monetary stimulus, Bullard said, "We should take a little bit more (of a) wait-and-see posture." His comments, in an interview with Reuters Insider, highlight potential dissent on the Fed's policy committee next year when he will be a voting member.
The U.S. central bank launched a potentially massive policy-easing effort last week to try to help the struggling U.S. economy. Under the program, dubbed QE3 by Wall Street, the Fed will purchase $40 billion a month in mortgage-backed debt until the outlook for the labor market improves substantially.
Bullard said the state of the U.S. economy was not dire enough for such a program. Financial stress is pretty low and measures of inflation are right about on target, he said.
Equity markets also seemed to indicate a lot of faith in the U.S. economy, he said, saying he would have waited to see what actions were taken in Europe in the fall to fight the region's debt crisis.
"I would have voted against it based on the timing. I didn't feel like we had a good enough case to make a major move at this juncture," said Bullard, who has been viewed as a centrist on the spectrum of Fed officials, though in recent months he has sounded opinions that have sounded more hawkish as he has expressed doubts about the need for further stimulus.
Nevertheless, Bullard made clear he was concerned about the potential fallout on the United States from a global economic slowdown. "I just would have wanted to wait to see a little bit more about how that's going to develop," he said.
But he was not a fan of the European Central Bank's announcement that it would make unlimited purchases in euro zone government bond markets to ensure the common currency survives.
"I am concerned about the strategy. I think it has embroiled them (the ECB) in a political situation in Europe. ... I think this conditionality in exchange for bond purchases is a dangerous precedent for central banks around the world."
The U.S. central bank, which cut overnight interest rates to near zero in 2008, has already bought $2.3 trillion in government and mortgage-liked debt in a bid to drive other borrowing costs lower and spur a stronger recovery.
Last week's Fed action sparked an uproar among Republicans, who have complained for months the Fed was risking inflation through the unprecedented aggression of its actions. Bullard said he viewed inflation as under control, but said QE3 added to inflation risks.
"There is a global slowdown and normally you would think of containing U.S. inflation pressure. I do think we're at risk in the medium term and the longer term for inflation in the U.S., and we're taking more risk on for pursuing this policy," he said in a longer Reuters text interview after his remarks on Insider.
He also voiced concern that QE3 could spill over into higher commodity prices, as happened with the previous rounds of Fed bond-buying, although he said the soft tone of the world economy would help curb price rises.
Even so, Bullard said some of the contours of the plan, which has no set end date, were in keeping with how he thinks monetary policy should be conducted with interest rates already near zero. Leaving end dates off a bond buying program can make the policy "more effective," he said.
"We should go meeting by meeting with any balance sheet policy," Bullard said.
QE3 comes on top of an existing stimulus program in which the central bank buys about $45 billion a month in long-term Treasuries while selling the same amount of short-term Treasuries. That program, dubbed Operation Twist and designed to bring down long-term borrowing costs, runs to the end of 2012.
Bullard was not alone on Tuesday in voicing doubts over whether QE3 was needed. Dallas Fed President Richard Fisher, a noted inflation hawk, also said he would have voted against the policy if he were a voting member of the Fed's policy committee this year. Two other policymakers - William Dudley of the New York Fed and Charles Evans of the Chicago Fed - voiced strong support for the central bank's decision.
The Fed's statement in which it unveiled QE3 last Thursday sparked some controversy by saying monetary policy would likely be kept very easy until long after the economic recovery strengthens. This was seen as a signal policymakers would tolerate higher inflation, which some economists say could help the economy by goading spending and helping to slowly reduce the country's debt load.
Bullard said he was not in that camp. "I don't think there's a lot of benefit from inflation," he said.
In fact, he was worried enough about the prospect of inflation down the road that he backed a proposal from congressional Republican critics to curb the Fed's dual mandate of seeking low unemployment in the context of price stability for a solitary focus on preventing inflation.
"Anything that the Fed does is going to only have temporary effects," he said. "We have to get back to that notion. Too much is creeping in about the ideas of permanent trade-offs, which I regard as a misunderstanding of what monetary policy could do. So I would back going to a single mandate."
(Writing by Jason Lange; Editing by Leslie Adler)
Congress applied the expected political fix by bailing them out and taking them over. But that did not stop the losses. It merely transferred them to the taxpayers. To put an end to the losses, Congress passed the Housing Fairness and Reform Act (HFRA). It converted all Bancor-denominated contracts to a new unit of value—called the "Fairness Value"— which is determined by the National Average Price Index (NAPI) on Fridays of the preceding week. This has nothing to do with interest rates. It relates to Bancor values. For the purpose of illustration, let us convert Bancors back to dollars. A $50,000 loan on Friday became a $920,000 loan on Monday. Few people could afford the payments. Thousands of angry voters stormed the Capitol building in protest. While the mob shouted obscenities outside, Congress hastily voted to declare a moratorium on all mortgage payments. By the end of the day, no one had to pay anything! The people returned to their homes with satisfaction and gratitude for their wise and generous leaders.
That was only an "emergency" measure to be handled on a more sound basis later on. Many months have now passed, and
Congress has not dared to tamper with the arrangement. The voters would throw them out of office if they tried. Millions of people have been living in their homes at no cost, except for county taxes, which were also beyond the ability of anyone to pay. Following the lead of Congress, the counties also declared a moratorium on their taxes—but not until the federal government agreed to make up their losses under terms of the newly passed Aid to Local Governments Act (ALGA).
Renters are now in the same position, because virtually all rental property has been nationalized, even that which had been totally paid for by their owners. Under HFRA, it is not "fair" for those who are buying their homes to have an advantage over those who are renting. Rent controls made it impossible for apartment owners to keep pace with the rising costs of maintenance and especially their rising taxes. Virtually all rental units have been seized by county governments for back taxes. And since the counties themselves are now dependent on the federal government for most of their revenue, their real estate has been transferred to federal agencies in return for federal aid.
All of this was pleasing to the voters who were gratified that their leaders were "doing something" to solve their problems. It gradually became clear, however, that the federal government was now the owner of all their homes and apartments. The reality is that people are living in them only at the pleasure of the government. They can be relocated to other quarters if that is what the government wants.

Tom Brady gave New England Patriots fans a huge scare when he fell to the ground clutching his left knee during practice on Wednesday. During a joint practice with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Nate Solder, an offensive lineman for the Patriots, was pushed into Brady just after he threw the ball. The play was caught on camera by a fan who was there.
Brady was able to complete three more passes during the drill. Afterwards he was able to get off the field and make it to the trainers waiting on the side line on his own, but he was limping. After speaking with coaches it was decided that Brady would leave practice for the rest of the day.
The team has had the face of their team undergo an MRI since the accident earlier in the day. The tests show that the injury is not serious and that there is no damage to his ligaments. This is a relief for Patriots fans, since the knee involved is the one that kept Brady out of the 2008 season. The seriousness of the injury is unclear and Brady will be participating in practice as soon as he feels ready. His recovery is considered to day to day.

LEONIA — It was hard to miss the tangled mass of twigs engulfing a transformer high atop a utility pole in Overpeck County Park on Fort Lee Road.
So when borough residents Wayne and Jenine Norris passed by last weekend they were shocked to see the massive nest was gone. As they looked closer, they found two broken eggs on the ground and realized that the colony of Quaker parrots, also called monk parakeets, was frantically trying to rebuild its home.
"My husband and I love the parrots," Jenine Norris said. "To see all the birds flying around in a panic, it kills you."
No one seems to know exactly how the exotic-looking birds came to New Jersey, where they've come to call Leonia, Edgewater and Ridgefield home and continue to expand their colonies each year. One theory is that they escaped from a shipping crate at John F. Kennedy Airport in the 1960s, flew to Brooklyn and eventually settled in Edgewater, which appears to have the largest population in North Jersey.
Norris' husband, who often photographs the birds, which are bright green with blue-tipped wings, immediately thought someone had removed the nest as an act of animal cruelty.
But it was actually a routine removal by Public Service Electric and Gas. In addition to removing two nests in the borough — the other was on Grand Avenue near Sylvan Park — PSE&G also took down about 30 nests on and near River Road in Edgewater last week.
"We have to remove the nests each spring to ensure the integrity of the electrical system," company spokeswoman Bonnie Sheppard said.
The nests can be as large as 4 feet long and a foot wide, she said, adding that experienced employees carefully remove them with guidance and permits from the state Division of Fish and Wildlife.
Sheppard and Leonia Councilman Gil Hawkins, an environmentalist and executive director of the Overpeck Park Preserve, said the birds, which do not migrate during the winter, build their nests on transformers because of the heat the equipment emits.
But Sheppard said the nests can cause problems.
"Nests often damage electrical equipment by engulfing the electrical devices, blocking ventilation," she said. "Resulting trapped heat can cause devices to short-circuit, leading to local power failures."
Hawkins said he hates to see the birds displaced, but understands why PSE&G removes the nests.
"As an environmentalist, I hate to see any nesting bird get hurt, but on the other hand, they are an invasive species," he said.
But there are benefits to having the birds, like the spectators they bring to the park, Hawkins said.
"They are such an attractive bird, many people really stop and look at them," he said. "Children are amazed by them."
Legislation sought
Pet stores are barred from selling them, as the Division of Fish and Wildlife considers them a "potentially dangerous species due to the possibility of becoming agricultural pests."
But in the decades that they've been here, Alison Evans-Fragale, founder of Edgewater Parrots, which advocates for the protection of the birds, argues they have not been a threat to other species or agriculture.
She has pushed for state legislation to remove the "potentially dangerous" classification and require state and local government to protect the birds.
The bill was first introduced in 2004 and an online petition supporting it garnered 2,751 signatures. It didn't get far at first, but was reintroduced in 2006, was approved by the Assembly Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee, and got the Assembly's unanimous stamp of approval. It was then sent to the Senate for consideration, but didn't make it out of the Environmental Committee before the legislative session ended, killing the bill.
Since that time it was reintroduced by local sponsors in 2008 and 2010 but never made it out of committee again.
The measure has not yet been introduced this session, but Wayne Norris said he would like to see the effort revived.
"We should be happy that the parrots are in our area and we should protect them," he said.
Steps have been taken to do just that. Evans-Fragale worked with PSE&G to make sure the timing of the removal does not harm the birds or their eggs.
"The procedure is to try to remove the nests before breeding season," Sheppard said. "We found no eggs or fledglings in any of the nests we took down in Edgewater."
Janine Norris said it was possible the eggs she and her husband found were not a result of the nest removal, or that the birds laid eggs earlier this year because of the unseasonably warm weather. Either way she said it was a heartbreaking sight.
One alternative is installing artificial nesting platforms, she said.
In 2010, when work was slated to begin on the Hendricks Causeway bridge in Ridgefield where a colony of the parakeets had built nests on the steel abutments, Evans-Fragale and members of the Ridgefield Environmental Commission worked with the contractor to safely relocate the birds. Joe Cosimairo of Power Concrete Co. in Newark had his crews build two wooden boxes on unused utility poles adjacent to the bridge so the birds could build new nests while the work was under way.
Since the birds often relocate where their previous nests were, Norris said it makes sense to install the platforms, which would protect the eggs and the birds. In recent days she said the colony at Overpeck County Park has been frantically rebuilding.
"They are working their darndest," she said. "I feel so bad that they are stressed out."

This coffee table was constructed from reclaimed pine, a seasoned old fence that had seen better days. The legs are 3×3 posts that have had the corners chamfered. The top is made from planks that are sanded down, still show the original sawmill marks. I also put on breadboard ends and a bottom shelf. Stained and poly-ed. Rustic, yet finished look. Solid as a rock & weighs a ton. The whole project was a Christmas gift for my cousin.

Chlorite is very common in low-grade metamorphic rocks like slate, phyllite and greenschist. However, chlorite can appear in higher-grade rocks as well. You'll also find chlorite in igneous rocks as an alteration product, where it sometimes occurs in the shape of the crystals it replaces (pseudomorphs). Chlorite looks like a mica, but when you split off its thin sheets, they are flexible but not elasticthat is, they bend but do not spring backwhereas mica is always elastic.
Chlorite's molecular structure is a stack of sandwiches consisting of a silica layer between two metal oxide (brucite) layers, with an extra brucite layer laced with hydroxyl between the sandwiches. The general chemical formula reflects the wide range of compositions in the chlorite group: (R2+,R3+)46(Si,Al)4O10(OH,O)8 where R2+ can be Al, Fe, Li, Mg, Mn, Ni or Zn (usually Fe or Mg) and R3+ is usually Al or Si.

Beaverton police were trying to track down a laptop theft suspect, but it turns out the man they were looking for had done the right thing after all.
Beaverton police asked for help this week tracking down a man caught by Trimet surveillance cameras carrying a 15-year-old girl's laptop.
It happened Oct. 26 at the Sunset Transit Center. Police said the girl boarded a MAX train and after it departed she realized she had left her laptop case on a bench at the transit center.
Police said the student returned as quickly as she could, but the computer was gone.
Beaverton police said after the story was shown on Fox 12, they received tips to find the man they thought was the suspect.
They tracked him down and it turned out he did have the girl's laptop, but he had no intention of keeping it. Instead he wanted to make sure it didn't end up stolen.
The man took the laptop with him to the airport and police said he did the right thing and gave it to a uniformed security guard. That private security worker was then found by officers Thursday.
Police said Joseph Wilson, 44, of Gresham, admitted keeping the laptop for his personal use and not making any attempt to return it to its owner. He works at the airport for the security firm G4S, according to investigators.
He was arrested on a felony theft charge.
Beaverton police said a person who comes into control of someone else's property commits theft if they don't take reasonable measures to return it to the rightful owner.
The computer had contact information for the owner taped to it.

Surveillance video has been released in the case of a Circle K security guard who was shot while trying to stop a shoplifter from stealing beer.
The shooting happened earlier this month inside the Circle K at 59th Avenue and McDowell.
In the video, you see the suspect fire his gun at the guard, then run outside.
The guard was wearing a bulletproof vest.
Moments later, the guard came back into the store, and as you can see, he's bleeding from under his left arm.
He was taken to the hospital and will be ok.
The suspect is still on the loose.

University of Richmond Chancellor E. Bruce Heilman will set out on a cross-country motorcycle trip to commemorate his 87th birthday this Saturday, meeting with fellow World War II veterans and Richmond alumni along the way.
This year Heilman will travel through 17 states. According to a recent press release, his annual motorcycle trips began when he was 84 years old and embarked on a cross-country trip from Richmond, to San Diego, Calif., and back.
"There's nothing like getting up and getting straddled on a Harley and hitting the highway," Heilman said.
A proud WWII veteran, Heilman bought his first motorcycle at age 20 after he finished his tour in the Marine Corp. He said that when he married his wife Betty as a freshman in college, "that took care of the motorcycle."
Six children and 11 grandchildren later, Heilman's wife gave him a Harley-Davidson motorcycle for his 71st birthday. He said that growing up on a dairy farm during the Great Depression, serving as a Marine, going to college and raising a family, he had been intensely, and happily, occupied all of his life.
"It's important to have that point in your life," he said. "Though it may be in the later years, where you're free and flexible to be just a little bit of who you are, rather than representing what you are."
Heilman said that although his trips would not be as fun if he had to be at a certain place at a certain time, he makes sure to meet with many people along his journey.
"I'll be meeting with several alumni along the way," he said. "I'll call and say, 'I'm almost there,' and then we will get lunch or dinner."
Heilman is also the national spokesman for the Greatest Generation Foundation, a non-profit organization that recognizes American war veterans. He will speak to veterans at the organization's headquarters in Denver during his trip.
Junior Patrick Heilman, Chancellor Heilman's youngest grandson, was a freshman at the University of Richmond when his grandfather made his first cross-country trip.
"I was a little scared at first," Patrick said, "because he was traveling by himself, cross-country on a motorcycle."
Patrick said that despite his concerns, he and his family knew that they could not talk his grandfather out of the trip.
Heilman said that with his years, came wisdom. "When you're my age, you have enough judgment not to kill yourself on a motorcycle," he said. "You're a lot safer than you would be if you were much younger."
Patrick said that although his grandfather had never tried to get him on a motorcycle, it would be fun to try later in life.
Heilman said that riding his motorcycle was his way of staying young, enjoying life and fulfilling his ambitions. "Young people have this disposition that life can't possibly be exciting if you're in your 80s," Heilman said. "But the fact is, it really can."
His annual trips and his outlook on life at 86 years old confirm one of Heilman's favorite sayings: "We don't quit doing things because we get old; we get old because we quit doing things."
Heilman said that although it was a bit unusual for someone his age to ride a motorcycle, he was just as able as he had been when he was a 20-year-old Marine.
"Life has not ended," Heilman said. "I'm not sitting here, waiting for the Grim Reaper. He's going to have to catch me."

Some homeless children are getting fresh hope for a better life through a camera lens.
Celebrity photojournalist Linda Solomon received a grant for Pictures of Hope through Chevrolet to provide homeless children cameras. Their task is to capture via picture their hopes and dreams for the future.
Fifteen children at Sheffield Place, a Kansas City treatment and transitional living center for homeless mothers and their children, were given the cameras.
The children's hopes were simple. They want their own bed in their own home. They want friends and people not to make fun of them. They want to play sports. They aren't dreaming of iPods, iPads or video games.
Josie, 11, and her family have fallen on hard times and are living at the shelter. She excitedly snapped pictures and enjoyed seeing them.
"Seeing my goals and seeing my hopes, it might make me have more courage with myself," Josie said.
The photographs will be made into holiday greeting cards for Sheffield Place. Officials said that 100 percent of the proceeds of the sale will go to raise funds for the agency.
Solomon said the project helps the children build their self-esteem especially as they know people throughout Kansas City will hold their card at the holidays.
"It's showing you that your dreams matter," she said. "That's the most important thing."
One San Diego girl's dream was to be the first in her family to go to college. Her card landed in the hands of San Diego State University's president who offered her a full scholarship, Solomon said.
About 3,000 homeless people currently live in Jackson, Wyandotte and Johnson counties.

For most mixed martial arts (MMA) fighters, getting to Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is the grand prize at the end of a painful tunnel. And when the Zuffa-owned fight promotion comes calling, most fighters eagerly respond, whether or not they are ready for the big show.
That wasn't the case with current undefeated 12-0 (1-0 UFC) light heavyweight contender Jimi Manuwa who says he turned down offers to fight for the UFC on more than one occasion. Once because he felt it was too early in his career and the other because he didn't feel it was a wise move to join the big boys of the promotion after a long time off because of injury.
"Poster Boy" gave all the patient details on his recent appearance on "The MMA Hour:"
"They had an offer really early in my career. I think I was like 5-0 or 6-0 and I was like, 'no way, nah, not at all.' The other one, I was just coming off a long injury, I had eight months off with a dislocated shoulder and they offered me a fight at (UFC)138 or something and I was like I don't really want to jump straight into a big fight after a long injury with ring rust or anything like that. I defended my title one more at Ultimate Challenge and I fought at BAMMA one more time and that contract kind of fizzled out so we signed with the UFC after that. For me, it was a big decision, but it was an easy one. I knew I would end up in the UFC because I got confidence in my skills and I knew I would end up there anyway, I just wanted to go to the right path. I didn't want to be one of those fighters who fought once in the UFC and then got thrown out. I want to have a long run in the UFC and do things properly. I don't want to fight for the once or twice and then lose because of lack of experience or skill and then get thrown out."
Once Manuwa found his way to the Octagon, he proved the UFC's interest in him was warranted, dismantling Kyle Kingsbury at UFC on Fuel TV: "Struve vs. Miocic" on Sept. 29, 2012 and breaking "Kingbu's" face in the process.
Manuwa will next take on long-time veteran Cyrille Diabate at this weekend's (Feb. 16, 2013) UFC on FUEL TV 7: "Barao vs. MacDonald" event in London, England. He says a bout against "The Snake" is one that "excites" him; however, he knows Frenchman won't stand with him inside the Wembley Arena.
And if he does, it would be disastrous for the Team Quest-trained fighter:
"Yeah, it excited me. It's a big challenge, he's really experienced, he's been around the block, he's fought in PRIDE, he has been around the block he has fought for a long time, very experienced and he is a great striker. He is not too bad on the floor and his takedowns, he trains with Dan Henderson. I'm expecting a great fight, but, I don't think he is going to stand with me, I don't know. I've trained for every situation, but, I always predict a knockout, you know? To stand with me, I wouldn't. If he stands with me, he is going to come out worse. I've got too much power and explosiveness."
With a win over Diabate, Manuwa says he will gladly take on all challengers Zuffe matchmakers see fit next, but, much like early on his career, he is prepared to take his path under the UFC banner on his terms.
Patience is indeed a virtue.
