It's been a long time since I've written anything and after a night of explosive finishes I doubt I'll get a better chance to continue this series. The event was knockout city, so let's take a closer look at the techniques and fundamentals that led to those beautifully violent moments.
Jeremy Stephens vs Rony Bezerra
What a way to start off the main card! In only 40 seconds, Stephens starched Bezerra with a brutal head kick to counter a right hand. Edit: Had to post highlights because the gif got deleted. It's all good though, you can hear the interview where he talks about his coaches seeing the opening.
Stephens gets huge KO vs. Jason (via FOX Sports)
How was he able to time this amazing counter, you ask? Simple: Bezerra told him exactly what he was gonna do. In the post fight interview, Stephens said that he realized Bezerra would duck his head to throw the wide right hook, which puts him right in the path of a head kick. To capitalize on the weakness, Stephens steadily pressured him backwards while carefully maintaining distance. Notice that Stephens is sure to stay just a step outside of punching range, ensuring that Bezerra has to change directions and step forward to land a punch. Bezerra has no tools to cover that distance correctly. He simply steps forward, ducks his head and wakes up later wondering what happened. All Stephens had to do was watch for the step. Notice that as soon as Bezerra's lead foot steps forward and to the left, Stephens launches the kick and lands it easily.
This shows the difference between a striker who understands the principle of distance control and one who does not. What Bezerra should have been doing to cover that space was working in behind a jab, feinting or waiting til Stephens took a committed step. Without any of those tools, Bezerra is left with nothing but a predictable and easy to see overhand right. This is very exciting stuff and may be showing an evolution in MMA striking. For the longest time, it has been considered defensively sound to step the lead foot forward and to the left without any set up while throwing a right hand. What the fighters who do this don't realize is that on top of putting them in the path of head kicks, it gives the opponent an easy inside angle--leaving them squared up and defensively compromised if they miss. For an example of what that might look like, I give you John Makdessi:
In the future, the wild right hand just isn't going to cut it. People like Makdessi and Stephens are learning how to see it coming then counter it with devastating results. Men like them are going to force the development of more advanced set ups, otherwise their opponents will keep ending up asleep.
Brandon Thatch vs Paulo Thiago
After an impressive UFC debut, I was very excited to see how this fight played out. Thatch definitely didn't disappoint, proving quickly why his striking is getting some serious hype. He took Thiago out with a beautiful knee to the body:
UFC Fight Night Recap: Thatch/Thiago (via FOX Sports)
Thatch does a fantastic job in landing this knee from start to finish. First, notice that he backs Thiago against the cage. Attacks like this that are short and/or require so much distance to be covered are best thrown either when the opponent can't back up (whether due to the cage or a clinch), or when the opponent is committed to coming forward. Otherwise, the opponent can simply take a step back and throw a counter. While in this situation, Thiago does have some room behind him, many fighters become much more likely to plant and throw the closer to the cage they get as they start to feel cornered. That's exactly what happens to Thiago, as it looks like he initially attempts to counter with a right hook to the body. Thatch is prepared for precisely this, and his set up is excellent.
Watch how he performs a hop step that takes him forward and slightly to his right; away from Thiago's predictable right hand. As he does this, his right hand moves to cover the left hand of Thiago. This set up is essentially a leaping lead hook, but the hook is thrown for control instead of for damage. With the left hand being checked and the footwork avoiding the right hand, Thatch moves into prime position to throw a knee safely. Using both footwork and hand trapping to set up the knee is something he shares with the Lyoto Machida, though Machida uses his knees when the opponent commits to coming forward as was mentioned above:
Back on topic, Thiago makes the impact worse as he rotates his torso into the knee, allowing it to drive flush into his liver and leave him in a crumpled heap of pain. That's genius execution, and anyone looking to land standing knees can take a lot from this finish.
Rafael Cavalcante vs Igor Pokrajac
Kicks and knees are really the theme of the night. Cavalcante reminded us just how dangerous knees from the double collar tie clinch can be:
Starting with his back against the cage, Cavalcante is able to lock in the clinch and use his forearms on the collar bones to create space for his hips. Once he has that space and starts throwing knees, it becomes clear very quickly that Pokrajac does not know how to defend. He makes a very common mistake; holding both his arms down to block the knees. First, this does not stop the knees as Cavalcante is still able to maneuver his knees around the arms. Second, it gives Calvalcante full control over his posture and the freedom to throw elbows if he chooses--something he could learn from the man with the best Muay Thai clinch game in MMA, Matt Brown:
Despite failing to throw any elbows and losing his grip a few times, Cavalcante does plenty of damage to an opponent who is unskilled in his defense. Pokrajac should have been doing everything in his power to get his hips close to Cavalcante to stuff the knees and regain his posture, then using his hands to control the biceps and weaken the control over his head while preventing potential elbows. From that position, it is possible to execute a number of escapes including cross faces, body locks and many methods of breaking at least one of the collar ties. Without that initial positioning however, he is left to eat knees and hope that he is able to duck out without being elbowed or snapped down on his face. Cavalcante beats him up, then when Pokrajab covers the front of his face with his forearms Cavalcante simply lets go and swings his right hand into the huge opening behind that guard, flooring the opponent and finishing the fight.
Vitor Belfort Vs Dan Henderson:
When asked about this fight, my first response was "It doesn't look good for Henderson. Belfort has been kicking people's heads into the stands lately". Little did I know he would show us some excellent boxing before fulfilling his face kicking obligations:
The most obvious thing that should stick out to anyone who has read any of my work (especially my series on positioning) is posture. Belfort's back is straight and shoulders are relaxed and as a result his eyes are easily on his opponent. Henderson, on the other hand, is MAYBE able to see Belfort's right foot. My best guess is that Henderson is trying to double up on the right hook to set up a take down while he has Belfort against the fence, but doing so with such horrible posture gives Belfort the ideal opportunity to throw the uppercut. Notice that as it lands, Henderson is so far out of position it's insane. He's squared up, his head is ducked, his back is round, his eyes are on the floor and both feet are off the ground when that uppercut lands. Oh yea, his hands are down too. Whatever...
Belfort, on the other hand, is in pretty good position. He too squares up a little, but with Henderson so far out of position it doesn't even matter. He has excellent control of distance as he sets up the uppercut. Notice that he uses his lead hand to measure the distance and aim the uppercut. Had Henderson been looking at him, that uppercut would also have served to blind him and make the punch harder to see coming. Plus, it makes it harder for Henderson to come forward. Most of all, notice he does effectively it with a fist, unlike many who prefer to stick fingers in their opponent's eyes. Belfort looks great in this gif. He bends his knees and throws the uppercut with serious leverage and nice built in head movement to avoid the right hook. The man knows how to throw a punch, and he apparently knows how to set one up on defense now too. In addition to his legendary straight blast style of swarming and lethal head kicks, Belfort is truly looking scarier than ever.
Here's a full gif including a very smart head kick, thrown as Henderson is trying to get up. This makes the kick harder since it is thrown at a lower target, and easier to land since Henderson is both trying to regain his balance (which causes his hands to drop) and unable to move in any direction.

The Phoenix Suns according to the LA Times are among the teams pursuing free agent Lamar Odom.
According to the LA times ( http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-lakers-kobe-bryant1-2009jul01,0,5024600.story )
The Phoenix Suns are among the teams interested in signing free agent Lamar Odom?
Lamar Odom is apparently in high demand by several teams. He is a versatile power forward that can guard multiple positions and passes and handles the ball extremely well for a forward. Lamar is known for being an inconsistent player but when he shows up, he can be the X factor for a team's chances of winning. He is reportedly interested in about $10 million per year for 3 to 4 years.
This is the first I have heard of this so I don't know if it's true or just another crazy rumor?

We're only a few days for the Cannes premiere of Nicolas Winding Refn's "Drive," easily one of our most anticipated films of the year, and we can barely contain ourselves: in fact, we've built a cardboard car in the center of The Playlist office and are currently sitting in it with a full-sized body pillow of Oscar Isaac. Fortunately, a healthier way of passing the time before the film arrives at the festival on Thursday has arrived, with Rope of Silicon debuting a new two-minute clip from the film.
We've already seen one snippet from the very beginning of the film, but this one's very different, with the first glimpses of Carey Mulligan and Bryan Cranston's characters and a much warmer, sunnier vibe, suggesting that the film is more than the minimalist thriller that the first clip implied. Still looks great though. There's also a glimpse at a cut from the soundtrack: the song "A Real Hero" by French dance artist College, ft. Electric Youth (listen to the whole thing below). Neat, huh? The site also has a bunch of images from the film, some we've seen before, some of which are new: check them, and the clip, out after the jump. And for those not currently in the South of France, "Drive" hits theaters on September 16th.

By JESSA LEWIS6 News Reporter
SEYMOUR (WATE) - Christmas is just six days away and while most of us are decking the halls, many military families are preparing to spend the holidays without their loved ones.
Christmas won't be as bright for one East Tennessee mother.
Rhonda Milliam's son joined the Navy 17 years ago. This is the fifth time he's been deployed, and the 14th Christmas he will be away from home.
"I wish that we could do it. I want every year to be able to do it. It's... you never give up the hope. You know, you think, okay! It's this year, we're going to get to be home for Christmas this year, and it's sad," Milliam explained.
Her son, Chief Petty Officer Bill Kegley is stationed in Honolulu, so she doesn't see much of her son and his family when he's not deployed.
On Christmas, she waits for her son to call.
"I sit on needles and pins and wait, because I never know what the time difference is going to be. So when he can call, or wherever he's going to be able to call from, you know, you just hold your breath, and when the phone rings, you just fall over."
Another family won't be waiting for that Christmas phone call.
Brian and Alison Shilling lost their son in 2006, when he was killed in action in Iraq.
"He was always the first, don't matter what time he went to bed, he was always the first one up on Christmas day. He would always wake his sisters up, 'c'mon, let's go, let's go'. It was as much the opening the presents as it was the dinner afterwards," said Brian Shilling.
They say it hasn't gotten any easier in the past six years, but that they try to keep up the holiday spirit."We've had six Christmases, and I know there's a lot of them that this will be their first Christmas, and yes, it's the hardest thing to do, sometimes to even decorate your house or bring out the Christmas tree, because it hurts," Alison Shilling said.
The Shillings say the holidays are difficult, but they surround themselves with family and friends to help ease the pain of their loss.
Both the Shillings and Milliam say it's important to be around people when family members can't be home for the holidays.

Tomas Rios thinks so:
It's an understandably difficult situation, but we've reached a tipping point as the level of incompetence displayed by both judges and referees now goes far beyond what we should expect or tolerate.
Just look at this past weekend's TUF 9 finale card. Both Gleison Tibau and Edgar Garcia fell victim to the not altogether shocking ineptitude of supposedly professional judges. Throw in a rash of bad calls made by big-name referees and relative unknowns alike, and we're at a crossroads where the UFC has to choose between letting this go on unabated or using its connections to the Nevada State Athletic Commission to fix this and fix it now. After all, having former NSAC Executive Director Marc Ratner working for the UFC should only help to effect change with the sanctioning bodies.
He also argues that there is a simple solution:
Thankfully the solution is patently obvious and I'm hardly the first to suggest it: The UFC, being the only promotion with the stateside pull to get things done, needs to sit down with the sanctioning bodies and work out a rigorous certification program for both judges and referees.
For example, prospective referees should go through an extensive training camp with the sport's best existing referees in order to prove they have the skills necessary to get the job done. Beyond that, all new referees should go through a probationary period during which they officiate only small-scale sanctioned events before being considered for full licensing and the opportunity to preside over the sport's biggest fights. That would give the sanctioning bodies the opportunity to separate the wheat from the chaff, limiting the current crop of subpar officials from making more big-stakes bad calls and potentially ruining someone's career.
Beyond that, a review system must be implemented to ensure that the referees who are licensed are kept fully accountable. In the current system, even the worst calls net only an apology and some public humiliation for whoever is responsible.
Keep the same criteria for judges, and the system will become a well-oiled machine capable of handling the split-second decision-making demanded of referees and the reasoned analysis judges must make within moments of the closing bell. This is the only option for staving off the gradual decline we've seen from the sport's officials.
Rios is being too optimistic here. While more training for MMA judges and referees would no doubt be beneficial, there is no amount of training that can give a referee the kind of in-ring instincts to adequately protect fighters if they do not have good instincts to begin with. Alertness, acuity and the kind of in-ring persona that allows a referee like Big John McCarthy to ALWAYS be in control in the cage are not things that can be taught.
This isn't even to mention the fact that Rios is conflating the problems we saw this weekend with MMA judging with problems we've seen in the past with MMA referees. His grand plan doesn't mention anything about modifying or clarifying the scoring system for judges. Of course, more training for judges will help, but if the scoring system remains inherently vague and subjective, it will make very little difference.
Fundamentally, the 10 point must system is a bolt-on from boxing that has little if anything to do with MMA. It has many defenders, but I personally believe that the Japanese judging criteria is a better fit for MMA -- in theory if not always in execution.

Museu de Arte de São Paulo Assis Chateaubriand (Masp) [Assis Chateaubriand Museum of Art of São Paulo]
Others names
During its first three years of life, the museum operated in a 1,000 m2 room at the headquarters of Diários Associados, in the Rua 7 de Abril. With a museographic design by the Italian architect, Lina Bo Bardi (1914-1992), when the museum opened its doors, it was divided into four areas: an art gallery in which the works of the collection were exhibited; a room with a didactic exhibition on the history of world art, with boards full of reproductions, documents, texts and photographs placed between two sheets of glass and supported by aluminium tubes where visitors could follow a synthesis of the development of art; temporary exhibitions room and an auditorium. This division reflected its vocation as a museum for transmitting knowledge and culture as opposed to the idea of a museum as a simple depot for works of art. In 1950, the Masp occupied four floors of the same building, thereby expanding its teaching activity ranging from the Instituto de Arte Contemporânea (IAC) [Institute of Contemporary Art], with courses on engraving, drawing, painting, sculpture and industrial design, the Escola de Propaganda [School of Advertising] (the future Escola Superior de Propaganda e Marketing - ESPM [Higher School of Advertising and Marketing]), the organisation of seminars on cinema and literature, to the creation of a ballet and a youth orchestra. It should be noted that the museum pioneered the introduction of monitors trained by Professor Bardi to provide service to visitors. The form of presentation of the works was also entirely different from other exhibition venues in the city at the time. In the absence of walls, the paintings of the permanent collection were suspended by steel trussed beams, with lighting planned for the setting.
Between 1953 and 1957, the principal collection of the Masp went on tour and was widely visited and praised in countries such as France, Germany, Belgium, England, Italy and the United States. In 1958, Lina Bo Bardi designed the current museum building on Avenida Paulista, which was inaugurated in 1968 in the presence of Queen Elizabeth II of England after the death of its founder. A concrete and glass structure whose main body is supported by two lateral structures over a free 74m space, the new headquarters of the Masp became a milestone in modern architecture and one of the main architectural symbols of the city of São Paulo. With regard to its museography, Lina Bo Bardi innovated by using sheets of tempered crystal supported by a visible block of concrete as a base for the paintings, with the intention of imitating the position of the painting on the artist's easel in his workshop. These bases, which are no longer in use, carried boards on the back of the paintings with information on the painter and the work. Paradoxically, this form of showing a painting was abandoned by the Masp at the end of the 1990s, precisely when it began to be considered internationally.
In addition to its international collection of paintings, the Masp has a section of Brazilian art whose core consists of works by Candido Portinari (1903-1962) from the personal collection of Assis Chateaubriand. There are fewer sculptures, most notably the set of 73 bronzes by the Impressionist Edgar Degas (1834-1917). There are also collections of African and Asian art, engravings by Francisco de Goya (1746-1828) and Max Beckmann (1884-1950), drawings by Debret (1768-1848), Tarsila do Amaral (1886-1973), Flávio de Carvalho (1899-1973), ceramics and archaeological pieces. The highlight, however, is the collection of paintings with works by: Andrea Mantegna (c.1431-1506), Raphael (1483-1520), Titian (c.1488-1576), Jacopo Tintoretto (1519-1594), Hieronymus Bosch (c.1450-1516), El Greco (1541-1614), Diego Velázquez (1599-1660), Hans Holbein (c.1497-1543), Goya, Claude Monet (1840-1926), Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin (1699-1779), Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640), Anthony van Dyck (1599-1641), Nicolas Poussin (1594-1665), Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (1780-1867), Eugène Delacroix (1798-1863), Gustave Courbert (1819-1877), Edouard Manet (1832-1883), Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot (1796-1875), Henri Matisse (1869-1954), Pablo Picasso (1881-1973), Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920), Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890), Paul Gauguin (1848-1903), Pierre Auguste Renoir (1841-1919), Joseph Mallord William Tuner (1775-1851), John Constable (1776-1837), and others.

First time poster, long time Jags fan here,
To get away from mock drafts a little...
nfl.com has Jacksonville rated as the worst team heading into the 2013 season on their latest power rankings. I just don't see why everyone is so down on the Jags. With a top 6 defence and the top running back (in my biased opinion) in the league, it should be harder to rank the Jags as low as they are. D'Anthony Smith claims to be at full health while Austin Lane seems to be improving, which will improve the d-line. It has also been revealed that Gabbert had a nagging toe injury all season. The injury doesn't completely nullify the the bad play but having the worst receiving corps in the NFL (IMO) does to an extent. I just think that with a solid draft and another strong year by the defence, there is no way the Jags should regress.
Is there something that I am missing, or is everyone just hating on the Jags again?

Maydan keeps fighting (Video, online)
4:59, — Europa
Hrushevskoho Street proclaimed the territory of peaceful Maydan.
Previously: Uprisings in the regions of Ukraine
Ukrainian opposition politicians reported of the results of the negotiations with president Yanukovych late in the evening on 23 January, Delo.ua reports.
Maydan refused to stop fighting in Hrushevskoho Street in exchange for the release of the detained activists. By a vote the decision was made to keep fighting and expand Maydan's territory.
Vitaly Klychko, Oleh Tiahnybok and Arseniy Yatseniuk came to Maydan in order to report of the results of the negotiations with Viktor Yanukovych.
First spoke the leader of UDAR party Vitaly Klychko. He urged the protesters in Hrushevskoho Street in Kiev to abstain from violence.
According to him, the authorities promised to release the detained protesters. "The only thing we managed to agree on at the meeting with Yanukovych is the promise to release all the activists, if there is no confrontation", - Klychko stated from Maydan's stage.
The protesters responded to this politician's statement with chants "For shame!". Klychko added that "we would not give up", however he did not want possible victims in the course of further confrontations.
After that the leader of the Ukraine-wide association Svoboda Oleh Tiahnybok spoke from Maydan's stage. First he claimed that the authorities were ready to arrest about a thousand activists within 5 days in case clashes with police continued. The authorities at the same time were ready to guarantee that protesters would not be arrested in the case the clashes did not go on. Both Klychko and Tiahnybok called on the protesters for an armistice until the following morning.
From the stage of Maydan Tiahnybok held a vote: whether to stop the struggle or keep on. Maydan voted for quitting the negotiations and continuing the fight.
At the same time Svoboda's leader demanded discipline. A request for the same came from Arseniy Yatseniuk as well, who spoke next.
He stated that the territory controlled by the protesters in Kiev city center would be expanded towards the block with government buildings.
"I am speaking to Andrij Parubij (one of Maydan's commandants): expand Maydan's territory along Instytutska Street up to Olhynska Street", - Yatseniuk stated.
The politician also proclaimed Hrushevskoho Street the territory of Maydan. At the same time he pointed out that the expanded Maydan should be peaceful.
"No one makes any other steps besides the ones agreed upon. We keep negotiating in order to achieve an actual result, not that they promise and do not deliver", - Yatseniuk is quoted in Ukrainian Truth newspaper.
"We proclaim Hrushevskoho Street Maydan's territory. Not a step back. I am asking everyone for discipline", - Yatseniuk urged.

Difference in Battle Damage between ST WOK and ST SSP

No idea but it'd make perfect sense. In TWOK you don't have to visually emphasize the damage as you observe it as well as its consequences, Preston's death. In TSFS you have to remind the audience of what happened last time respectively clearly point out to the ones who have not seen the previous movie that the Enterprise has been involved in a nasty battle.
When you tell the truth and take a stand, sometimes it means that you will walk the streets with a burdened heart. Sometimes it means losing a job, means being abused and scorned. It may mean having a seven, eight year old child asking a daddy, "Why do you have to go to jail so much?" And I've long since learned that to be a follower to the Jesus Christ means taking up the cross. And my bible tells me that Good Friday comes before Easter. - MLK, Why I Am Opposed to the War in Vietnam

22 years ago Pat Gillick and the Toronto Blue Jays made the biggest trade in franchise history when they moved Fred McGriff and Tony Fernandez to the San Diego Padres for Joe Carter and Roberto Alomar.
We all know how that turned out.
3 straight AL East titles, 2 pennants, 2 World Series trophies, Robbie's in the Hall of Fame… and so is Pat.
And now, on November 14, 2012 we sit and wait for the MLB offices to put their stamp of approval on a trade that may become 1b to that 1990 trade.
Senior VP and GM, Alex Anthopolous is reportedly inches away from landing 4 players who have All-Star on their resume and a speedy bench player that can fit into no fewer than 6 positions on the diamond. In one swipe (meaning both "the motion of a hand" and also "theft") AA has addressed the glaring holes in his starting rotation and made his catching position a spot of major league depth that can be traded for more help.
Welcome (reportedly) to the Toronto Blue Jays:
SP – Josh Johnson
SP – Mark Buehrle
SS – Jose Reyes
C – John Buck
IF/OF – Emilio Bonifacio
Johnson and Buehrle are great additions to the starting rotation. We're talking about 65 starts and hopefully about 30 wins. It's also a dynamic SS who can field, run and hit AND can hit lead-off which moves Brett Lawrie out of that spot and into a spot where he can drive in some runs. John Buck coming back to Toronto means that a catcher is getting traded… either him or JP (sorry ladies) are probably on their way out for more pitching or a hitter. Emilio Bonifacio brings a great name and tons of options to the lineup.
Now, we all know that to get talent you've got to move talent and that's the hard part for fans. In this deal it looks like the Blue Jays will say goodbye to a starting pitcher, 2 middle infielders, a catcher and minor league prospects. Seeing the 2 Cubans heading to Miami makes some sense for the Marlins franchise who will desperately trying to find a way to keep fans interested in the team. Alvarez is a good young pitcher with his entire career ahead of him. Jeff Mathis is a serviceable catcher who can probably play every day. And the prospects are worth keeping an eye on.
Moving to Miami (reportedly) are:
SP – Henderson Alvarez
SS – Yunel Escobar
SS – Adeiny Hechavarria
C – Jeff Mathis
OF – Jake Marisnick
P – Anthony Desclafani
P – Justin Nicolino
Last night as news of the trade broke and Twitter exploded (as it does when these things happen) it wasn't just fans chiming in with their thoughts and reactions to the move.
All-Stars from both clubs tweeted their feelings on the matter…
If this deal gets done (and I assume that it will) the Toronto Blue Jays have just taken a big step in their progress and the AL East. The starting pitching issue needed to be attended to and while there are still holes in LF and perhaps 1B to figure out – this. is. HUGE.

I am wearing this dress in black at my daughters wedding in September. When I put it on I knew it was the dress!!! I feel like a princess in my daughters court. And this will not overshadow my daughter at all.....A perfect dress for mother of the bride. I also took the scarf and made strapes becasue I needed the support as I am on the bigger size on top. It accents my tiny waste.

I ask the lady i want to try this for my daughter's wedding,i don't care about the see-through part. Oh boy it looks perfect on me. I look taller,slimmer & hide my tummy. I look like a 40 year old sophisticated, classy, rich, and very glamorous lady. This gown speaks for itself. The lace and beads was done with perfection. What a classic!

Meyer Sound has long been committed to providing the professional audio community with high-level training seminars that present scientifically valid information on both theoretical concepts and their practical applications. Continuing the steady expansion the company's education program has seen in the last few years, Meyer Sound's latest seminars are now coming to the European continent.
"Our goal with the Meyer Sound seminars is to impart accurate, real-world professional information to the audio community," says educational programs manager Gavin Canaan. "By offering instruction from some of professional audio's consummate authorities, we aim to bring a vital frame of reference and an unparalleled body of expertise to our users."
One of the most important seminars is a two-part, in-depth course encompassing both system design and training on the SIM® 3 audio analyzer. The four-day course provides participants with theoretical and practical understandings of source independent measurement and a solid grounding in applications of the SIM analyzer in complex audio systems design.
To provide greater flexibility for attendees, the course has been split into two parts. Participants may register for one or both parts. Part one of the seminar begins with a brief review of SIM analyzer theory and development and then focuses on a comprehensive discussion of procedures for field use of SIM 3. This part of the seminar is recommended for all SIM 3 users, including those with experience on prior versions of SIM.
Part two of the seminar builds on the foundation of source independent measurement by extending the technology into the broader field of sound system design. During these two days, participants examine the challenges of system design from all sides, looking at the complex interactions of loudspeakers and acoustical environments from the standpoints of phase, frequency, and impulse responses. The updated course program includes implementations for all new Meyer Sound products, including the M Series arrays and 700-HP subwoofer.
Also offered is a one-day course on System Design Principles. This seminar provides a broad overview of the essential principles involved in designing and measuring complex sound reinforcement systems. Participants receive a basic grounding in key parameters of audio measurement (phase response, impulse response) and how they relate to filters and phase alignment. A comprehensive summary of array configuration principles is integrated with a discussion of acoustical prediction using Meyer Sound's MAPP Online Pro™ software.
The System Design Principles seminar also introduces line array theory, outlining different line array solutions for specific applications. System optimization approaches are covered in conjunction with an overview of source independent measurement as implemented in the SIM 3 analyzer.
A one-day Mixing Workshop from legendary FOH engineer and Meyer Sound tour liaison manager Buford Jones will also be presented. The seminar focuses exclusively on aspects of FOH mixing, including artistic, technological, and psychological considerations. The class draws extensively from Jones' three decades of experience mixing such top-level acts as Pink Floyd, Eric Clapton, George Harrison, James Taylor, Faith Hill, Counting Crows, and Clint Black. As Canaan remarks, "The term 'voice of experience' applies to no one more than Buford Jones."
Meyer Sound seminars are open to the public. Upcoming seminars in Europe (all given in English) include:
System Design Principles
Instructor: Mauricio Ramírez
Göteborg, Sweden, November 6
The Mixing Workshop
Instructor: Buford Jones
Göteborg, Sweden, November 7

Sorry to bring this over here, but I JUST CAN'T TAKE ANYMORE!
Tim Tebow has been passed over as starting QB for the Jets by our own Greg McElroy. Now, I'm guessing this decision was based on football skills and such, but there are all sorts of conspiracy theories about it on ESPN.
Apparently, the entire NFL is prejudiced against Tebow because he:
1.Is white.
2.Is religious.
3.Is saving all his best football for "Crunch Time".
Look, I respect Tebow's abilities-AS A COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYER!
He is too slow for the NFL. He has a horrible throwing motion. He cannot read an NFL defense to save his mother's life.
I'm not writing this out of loyalty to McElroy: he may not be the answer for the Jets either.But do they really believe that Rex Ryan would jeopardize his own job just to give the finger to Tebow?
I'm watching too much ESPN...

At yesterday's press conference which announced the arrival of M-1 Global, and their marquee signing, Fedor Emelianenko, new CEO, Monte Cox made some interesting comments regarding a still possible fight between Randy Couture and Fedor in the UFC Octagon.
If the UFC gets Randy back and they call and want Fedor to fight, we'll send him to the UFC.
I know you're probably thinking this won't happen and you're probably right. However, let us just hypothesise for a second and see what it would take for this statement to come to fruition.
Step 1
Step 1 is obviously for the UFC to get Randy back. If we are to believe Dana White (remember, we are hypothesising) when he says he has never said "no" to Randy then he would probably be open to a renegotiation of Randy's contract.
This appears to be a pretty reasonable way of thinking, seeing as Dana White inferred he'd be open to such an idea on the EPSN interview previously posted on here by Sam Caplan.
Step 2
Here's where things get a bit tricky. Step 2 is to take up Monte Cox's offer and bring in Fedor for possibly the biggest fight in MMA history.
The problem with bringing in Fedor into face Randy is that it would be in all likelihood a one fight deal and if Fedor beats Randy, Dana White and the UFC are left with a Champ and a division that is now second rate as they don't have a true claim to having the best fighter.
That very reason is probably why Dana White wanted Wanderlei Silva for three fights when he attempted to loan him from Pride to face Chuck Liddell last year.
However, the fact Dana White was even keen on the idea of an outsider derailing the previous UFC posterboy in Liddell in the first place is cause for a slight glimmer of hope and also White's confident prediction that "The Natural" would destroy Emelianenko is also another thing leaning in favour of this being a possibility.
Step 3
If miraculously these series of events take place, then the third and final step would be setting up the fight. There is no doubt that marketed properly this fight could be the biggest MMA fight of all time, and the fact it was held in the UFC would be a great feather in the cap of Dana White and ZUFFA.
On a side note: How would M-1 market a Fedor/Couture fight when they have no access to any of their fight footage as it is all currently owned by Zuffa?
To set up this fight, the UFC should use it's video library to it's full potential to show the amazing versatility of Fedor at any and every oppurtunity (and that includes the eyepopping exaggeration from Joe Rogan).
I don't think you could make this a title fight because of the previously stated reason of it would probably only be a one fight deal. But a 3 round fight would rob the fans of the "championship rounds" which would quite probably decide this fight.
So it should be marketed as a Superfight where the UFC presents the ageless Couture in his last fight against M-1 Global's Emelianenko in the greatest mixed martial arts fight of all time.
The Pay Per View revenue as well as the endorsements would be enough to satisfy both M-1 and the UFC financially as well as giving MMA simultaneous exposure in the US, Russia and the rest of Europe.
This is all purely hypothetical and I know you've probably read this and thought this is complete madness.
I'm not as naive as to think that M-1 and the UFC would seamlessly work together, especially as M-1 has just really announced itself to the MMA consciousness. I'm also aware Dana White is very stubborn and probably will refuse to do business with Fedor or his management again. I'm also very aware Dana White wouldn't want to risk any damage done to his company's name by an outside fighter beating his Heavyweight champion.
But its still… just a flicker of hope
I think not only what you said above but this fight would be in the best interest of M-1 Global, how else would you advertise someone like Fedor with no footage and no North American name. You use the UFC platform and marketing machine to showcase your #1 guy, then half of your advertising is done for your next card. No doubt the casual UFC fan knows who Fedor is "He's the reason Randy quit!"
I think it would be a huge payday for everyone involved and the hardcore fans would love it.
Bring it on, make it happen.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
Yeah I was thinking about that earlier, they have no footage of him at all they can use unless perhaps Fedor's team had something worked out with Bodog. But not much you can use there….
They are really going to have to rely on the media to explain to potential customers how good he is.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
I'm pretty sure LOTS of people would be willing to pay $80 (instead of $40) for that fight.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
I'm sure by lots of people you mean hardcore fans. Well, hardcore fans have been watching UFC since the inception. It wasn't till they landed the huge tv deal and made the sport accessable to the vast public, that they started breaking live gate/ppv buy records. So yeah, I know alot of people would pay to see it. I really think you'd sell more fights with Chuck vs Wandy card or Tito vs Rampage/Hendo/Anyone.
It's just the amount of money UFC puts into marketing.
That and the UFC adds are on every commercial on Spike.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
I think M-1 won't have a problem with marketing Fedor. Only the hardcore fans like us are the ones who know who he is. Hell I just showed my cousin a few fights of fedor last night and he thought I was joking when I told him he is one of the best MMA Pound for Pound fighters on the planet. He sooned realized that I was right when I showed him that Fedor has all the skills that it takes to become number 1.
I'm actually probably going to convert to a heavy M-1 Fan and put UFC on the back burner.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
A flicker of hope. Perfect.
How about adding this on…
Wait until you crown a new Heavyweight champ like Sylvia, or whoever, and then not only does it not have to be a title fight, but its not even a fight with the actual UFC Heavyweight champ.
The whole idea about not wanting a second rate weight class is a moot point, because even if this scenario doesn't happen and Randy fades away and Fedor does his thing, we're still left with a UFC HW champ with a big asterix by his name… Tim Sylvia? Big Nog? Both of those guys were dominated by Randy and Fedor. Therefore there's nothing to lose…
The UFC gets a payday for the PPV "Super Fight" (although losing some money upfront to pay Fedor his "M1 fee"), and they get to sell product… i.e. throw in some other exciting matchups to the fight card to show off the UFC portfolio.
"UFC 88: BATTLE OF THE CENTURY… COUTURE vs. FEDOR, HOUSTON ALEXANDER vs. TITO… MICHAEL BISPING vs. RICH FRANKLIN!!!!"
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
Couture dominated BOTH Sylvia AND NOG? are you high? did Randy already fight Nog when I went to sleep? get your facts straight.
P.S. Bisping and Franklin are in 2 completely different weight classes
I hope you were joking, otherwise, your name should be MMA FOOL!!!
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
Amir u moron he was talking about fedor beating nog u faget
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
Amir… Calm down.
I meant both Sylvia and Big Nog were dominated by Randy and Fedor RESPECTIVELY.
And I was hypothesizing on a superfight card that included Michael Bisping moving down to fill in the thin middleweight class. Franklin is finished as far as Anderson Silva is concerned, but I'd pay good money to see him pound on a guy like Bisping… Who knows, maybe Franklin moves up? Just throwing it out there anyway.
There are tons of good fights the UFC could put together that don't involve the belt. They just need to get creative.

I'm afraid I was a bit insensitive with my Valentine's Day newsletter last year. Here's some reader feedback that I received:
- Oh, right, a depression newsletter talking about Valentine's Day and promoting the sending of Valentines. I would think that there could be one oasis where my grumpy, depressed self could be free of that crap.
I'll admit my first reaction was, "How rude! If you don't like the newsletter, unsubscribe!" Then I thought some more and this guy is totally right. I've completely lost touch with what it's like to be a single, depressed person on Valentine's Day. Looking back, I remember many days when I would see happy couples walk by and I would be eaten up by jealousy and anger. If you're feeling lonely, Valentine's Day is just a painful reminder of how alone you feel.
During the month of February, everywhere we look there are hearts, cupids, and pictures of romantic couples exchanging deep and meaningful glances. Single people feel as if they have no place on Valentine's Day. It's just another day to trudge through life without someone to share it with.
To my friend who wants an oasis where his "grumpy, depressed self" can "be free of that crap", I must apologize for being insensitive to your needs. Rather than falling into the usual "hearts and candy" commercialism, I should have offered you these strategies to create your own oasis from loneliness:
- Don't feel there is something wrong with you if you're not in a relationship. Your worth comes from what you are, not who you're with.
- Don't look back at old relationships as missed opportunities. Look to the future. Even those happy couples you see were single before the met their current love. Unless they're with their childhood sweetheart you can bet that they've had their share of romantic failures too.
- Treat yourself to something special on Valentine's Day. You deserve it.
- Valentine's Day isn't just about romantic love. Do you know someone who's recently widowed or divorced? Do you have a friend who's just gone through a rough break up? Spend the evening with them and cheer each other up.
- Take some time to reevaluate what you really want in a relationship. Are your relationships not lasting because you're choosing partners who aren't capable of maintaining a mature, loving relationship?
- Be willing to take a chance. Like they say, you have to play to win.
- Be a friend to yourself. If you like yourself, the chances are better that someone else will like you too.

Eighty-nine elderly men and women are living away from their Rutland nursing home after a boiler explosion.
The Rutland Herald reports the fire broke out Tuesday at the Rutland Health Care and Rehabilitation Center and all of the residents had to be relocated. Some were taken as far away as Claremont, N.H., others just down the street to the Rutland Regional Medical Center, where they turned a conference room into a shelter for displaced residents and their beds.
They hope to have all of the residents back home by Friday.

Wallace off to Portland?
ANYBODY THINK WE SHOULD GO AFTER CAMBY IF HES BOUGHT OUT? UPDATE: According to sources of CBS Sports' Ken Berger, Wallace is heading to Portland. "Package for Wallace believed to be centered around Andre Miller," he added. "Marcus Camby was discussed, but he might retire rather than report to Charlotte." There's been some chatter Gerald Wallace may get dealt by Thursday's deadline, as ESPN's Chad Ford reported the Bobcats have "aggressively courted the Mavericks, Rockets, Clippers, Pacers and Cavs." There's also been talk of the Blazers. As Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports tweeted earlier Wednesday: "Portland is pushing hard and getting closer to completing a deal with Charlotte for Wallace, a league source tells Y! Sports." And now, according to Dwight James, Wallace is heading to Portland. "Just got off the phone with an NBA source who says his team believes the Wallace-to-Portland deal is 'done,'" James tweeted Wednesday afternoon. With Nicolas Batum already in at small forward for the Blazers -- an asset the Blazers were reluctant to part with when Denver tried to include him in a Carmelo Anthony deal -- it's not immediately clear what Wallace's role with the team would be. Though he could potentially be used in the team's frontcourt. -- Ryan Corazza

New charges filed in teacher murder caseTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS | September 24,2013ST. JOHNSBURY New charges have been filed against a couple accused of killing a St. Johnsbury teacher.
Allen and Patricia Prue already face murder charges in connection with the March 2012 death of 33-year-old Melissa Jenkins. Both have pleaded not guilty.

KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine (AP) - The Maine medical examiner's office says human remains found on an island off Kennebunkport were two boatbuilding school students who went missing in December.
Spokesman Mark Belserene said Tuesday that DNA tests confirmed the remains were 21-year-old Zachary Wells of Burlington, Vt., and 23-year-old Prescott Wright of Barnstable, Mass.
Wells and Wright were last seen at a late-night party at Wells' home in Kennebunkport on Dec. 20. The men were students at The Landing School in Arundel.
In the ensuing search, officials found clothing belonging to the two men but didn't locate their bodies.
A local resident walking a dog discovered the remains last month on Vaughn's Island, which can be reached from the mainland at low tide.

Mumbai, July 21:
To keep gold prices under check, the practice of giving gold as dowry or as an offering at religious places must be reduced, said Dr K.C. Chakrabarty, Deputy Governor, Reserve Bank of India.
"Gold has no intrinsic value and yet the demand for it keeps rising. We must remember that offering gold as dowry or to God must be reduced. Indians must offer 2 karat gold instead of 24 karat for religious purposes," Dr Chakrabarty said at a regional banking summit.
Emphasising the need for a social revolution in India, the deputy governor said "the culture of wearing gold ornaments was when we were a rich country but now that we are poor, we cannot continue the same."

It is not enough to be aware that in playing golf, the basic golf equipment is the golf ball and the gold club. A true golfer should also look for other innate qualities and characteristics of these two pieces of equipment. By being aware of the different kinds of balls and clubs, he could improve his game and even save a few bucks while doing so.
Golf balls: The level of expertise and the financial capability of the golf player
Though it is highly tempting, buying high-end quality golf balls would not really help a beginner improve his performance. More often than not, he would also end up losing his ball especially when he has yet to master controlling the flight distance and direction of his drives. He would be better off choosing the practice or range balls specifically made for golf beginners. This golf equipment is made as cheap as possible. However, despite this fact, these practice balls are still required to pass a certain legal and formal criteria set by the international golf association so no doubt should arise as to its quality.
The next kind of golf balls are the recreational balls. These are crafted for the typical golf player. This specific golf equipment is reasonably affordable, which financially helps the player when he has a tendency to lose his balls during game plays. Since it is made for a typical player, it has a low compression, decreasing the possibilities of side spinning when the ball is hit. With this kind of characteristics, players with a slow swing speed would be able to control more the direction of the ball.
The most expensive balls are usually designed for players who are highly skilled and in control of their drives. These balls, called advanced balls, are multilayer golf balls that necessitate a higher swing speed. They are more prone to side spinning from lofted shots and could travel farther than any other kinds of golf balls.
Golf clubs: Fitting, Distance and Drive Control
The golf player should know that this may the single most expensive golf equipment that he would end up purchasing in giving in to his desire to learn golf. It is for this reason that a person should decide first whether he would really be playing golf or the desire to learn and play is just a passing fancy. For the undecided, it would be safer to not purchase one and just rent the golf clubs from the golf courses.
The kind of golf clubs used in the game solely depend on the type of play the golfer wishes to execute. Though there are a lot of golf clubs available in the market, no standard exists for all players. What professional or regular players often do is they get fitted to know which clubs would suit their weight and height.
Going to the kind of drives and resulting flight coverage, for golf players who would like to achieve a powerful and long distance flight, the club that they should choose is the hybrid club. This club combines the long distance flight capabilities of a woods club and the higher launch of irons. These suits the players who would like to cover a long distance but have a relatively slower swing speed in propelling the ball.
Separating the hybrid, woods club are best for those who love to maximize every swing and cover the farthest distance possible. Irons are best for players who enjoy control over their drives as irons limit the spins, directions, and distance of the ball. With this kind of club, players should use it when in the rough.

Closed forests
Evergreen forests
At higher altitudes (over 1 500 m), in the south-west, the Teita Hills are covered by an evergreen forest with the camphor tree (Ocotea usumbarensis), the predominant species. Mt. Kasiagu has a small area of forest with Newtonia buchanani predominant between 1 300 and 1 600 m.
Evergreen or semi-deciduous upland forests
The upland forest belt in the wetter zones begins with the plateau forests, between 1 300 and 2 000 m. They occur in the central part of the country (in the neighbourhood of Nairobi, Ngong, Kiambo and Nyeri) in areas with an annual rainfall of 850 to 1 000 mm and a cool, equatorial climate. These forests are evergreen or semi-deciduous. Brachylaena hutchinsii (muhugu) and Croton megalocarpus dominate the evergreen type. The semi-deciduous type is less rich in species.
The largest areas of upland forest occur on the main mountains between 2 000 m to about 3 500 m on Mt. Kenya, Mt. Elgon, the Aberdare range, the Laikipia escarpment and the Mau-Elgeyo-Cherangani mountain system. This evergreen forest can be subdivided into the following types:
- Forests dominated by Ocotea spp. The most important species is O. usambarensis (east African camphor tree), a large tree up to 45 m high, often associated with Myrica salicifolia. These forests occur on very dissected terrain. The lower parts of the valleys and ravines may contain Syzygium spp., Ilex mitis, Ficalhoa laurifolia, Ensete vertricosum and tree ferns. The Ocotea forests present regeneration problems, as the seeds are threatened by predators and the suckers by elephants; forest occurs in the wet montane zone within the elevation range of 1 500 to 2 400 m. Aningeria is associated with Albizia spp., Alangium chinense, Allophylus abyssinicus, Casearia battiscombei, Tabernaemontana spp., Croton macrostachys, Syzygium guineense and others.
- The Aningeria adolfi friederici
Pilar wood (Cassipourea malosana) forest occurs on the south-west and north-east slopes of Mt. Kenya and in the north-eastern Aberdares. Tree species in the canopy (9 to 21 m) also include Albizia gummifera, A. schimperania, Fagara spp. Hagenia spp., Ilex mitis, Macaranga kilimandscharica, M. conglomerata, Ocotea usambarensis, Prunus africana, and Rapanea rhododendroides.
Coastal forests
Only small remnants are left of coastal forests on the wetter soils of the hills and along the rivers. Below 350 m, on sites with more moisture, a mixed evergreen forest occurs with an abundance of Afzelia and Trachylobium species.
Mangroves are scattered along the coastal belt in the inter-tidal zones on estuaries and along creeks. Nikoko, (Rhizophora mucronata) and mkandaa (Ceriops tagal) grow together with other species.
Bamboo and palms
In the intermediate and wetter zone of the uplands, between 1 800 and 3 300 m, the mountain bamboo (Arundinaria alpina) covers large stretches on the Mau and the Aberdare Ranges. It also occurs in scattered patches on the eastern side of Mt. Elgon. In the bamboo thickets, shrubs such as Mimulopsis spp. can be found.
Patches of a forest type dominated by Ocotea usumbarensis and Podocarpus spp (mainly P. milanjianus) often occur in the belt between 1 700 and 2 400 m above sea level with a rainfall of about 2 200 mm on the eastern slopes of the Alberdares and Mt. Kenya. Juniperus forest is widely distributed in the drier highland areas, ranging from 1 000 to 2 900 (with major development betwen 1 800 and 2 900 m) and an annual rainfall of around 1 100 mm. Olea africana, Podocarpus gracilior, P. milanjianus and Croton megalocarpus may accompany Juniperus.
Excessive populations of big game damage these forests on the hills and mountain in northern Kenya. On the eastern side of Mt. Elgon, around 2 800 m, Podocarpus trees are widely spaced and growing up to 30 m, with a few trees of Olea hochstetteri growing up to 20 m in between. Many smaller hardwood trees are also present. In the intermediate and wetter zone of the uplands, between 1 800 and 3 300 m, the mountain bamboo (Arundinaria alpina) covers large stretches on the Mau and the Aberdare Ranges. It also occurs in scattered patches on the eastern side of Mt. Elgon. In the bamboo thickets, shrubs such as Mimulopsis spp. can be found.

This is a delicious stew that has a basic peanut butter, cumin, garlic and chilli sauce that can then be varied with a range of vegetables or beans.
Recipe by: Leah Shaw
Chickpeas add low-fat protein to this dish. Dried apricots and raisins give it a sweetness that complements the warmth of the spices.
Recipe by: Lynn Lewis
Exceptionally flavourful, lamb is a super source of niacin and zinc. Like all the other types of red meat, it also supplies a useful amount of iron.
Recipe by: Janet Mitchell
This is called Middle Eastern broad bean stew and not Moroccan, because I have also borrowed flavours from my Lebanese roots. The first time my carnivorous partner tried it, he honestly thought it contained meat. To make this dish completely vegetarian/vegan, omit the anchovies. Serve with steamed basmati rice or couscous.
Recipe by: XjacyX
A flavourful chicken stew with vegetables served over couscous. This recipe was actually a real chicken contest winner! You can use any meat or veggies in this recipe, e.g. I have used zucchini, carrots, capsicum, and lamb and I find that works well.
Recipe by: MYLEEN
A very hearty and filling stew featuring pumpkin, lentils and chickpeas in Moroccan spices. It keeps well for weeknight dinners.
Recipe by: CARALEWISWATTS
This is a medley of vegetables cooked with chickpeas in a flavoursome assortment of herbs and spices. To make it vegetarian use vegetable stock instead of chicken.
Recipe by: sshafer
This unique chicken stew flavour comes from the African influence through the use of chickpeas, peanut butter, curry powder and coriander.
Recipe by: Valeriel
This Moroccan inspired vegetarian stew can be made ahead and heated just before serving. Using kumara, chickpeas and lentils, this stew tastes great.
Recipe by: Make-Ahead Mamas
Serve this fish stew with couscous to sop up the lovely spicy juices. This is very simple to make and tastes bright and fresh.
