As with every major show, Bloody Elbow will be here to bring you live results, play by play and commentary for UFC 146: Dos Santos vs. Mir. Our live coverage will start with the two fights on the Facebook prelim stream (roughly 7 p.m. ET) to the prelim card on FX (8 p.m. ET) and through the PPV main card (10 p.m. ET) so make sure to make Bloody Elbow your home for this event.
This post will cover live results and thoughts for the PPV main card. Our coverage of the undercard can be read here.
The main card sees five heavyweight fights take place, headlined by a UFC heavyweight title fight between champion Junior dos Santos and former champion Frank Mir. In the "co-main event" role will be a fight between former champion Cain Velasquez and former Strikeforce standout Antonio Silva. Dave Herman and Roy Nelson will clash on the card as well. "Long-time prospect" Shane del Rosario will meet Stipe Miocic and Lavar Johnson will look to continue his roll when he takes on Stefan Struve to round out the card.
Make sure to come back during the event and share your thoughts as the event goes down.
SBN coverage of UFC 146: Dos Santos vs. Mir
Stefan Struve vs. Lavar Johnson - Round 1 - Johnson comes out and lands a big punch to the body and an uppercut and pushes Struve into the cage. Struve pulls guard and takes an arm quickly and Johnson taps out. Yeah, that'll do it. Johnson's arm is broken by the looks of it. Stefan Struve wins by submission (armbar), 1:05 of Round 1
Shane del Rosario vs. Stipe Miocic - Round 1 - Del Rosario throwing a lot of kicks, Miocic lands a nice punch combination. Miocic with a nice hard combo with a right hand that gets in. Again the straight right gets in for him. Del Rosario with nice kicks to the body and now to the legs. Miocic comes forward with a nice combination again and another body kick by Shane. Another body kick and now some punches and Miocic is bothered by the body kicks. Right hand by Miocic lands nicely. Nice counter left uppercut by del Rosario. Miocic with a good takedown late in the round and he lands a few elbows before letting him up as the round ends. 10-9 del Rosario.
Round 2 - Miocic scores an early takedown now and lands some hard punches. He moves for mount but gets caught in half guard. Miocic doing good work from in the half guard here, landing good elbows to the head and shots to the body. Miocic has del Rosario bleeding badly now. Full mount now but he loses it. Still, Miocic is cutting him up badly. Big flurry of elbows and the fight is stopped. Del Rosario tries to get up and he's stumbling all over the cage. Great stoppage. Stipe Miocic wins by TKO (elbows on the ground), 3:14 of Round 2.
Dave Herman vs. Roy Nelson - Round 1 - Herman with a knee to the body. He's trying to keep the fight at a distance and then...boom. Roy Nelson lands a big right hand and Herman crumbles and it's over. Nelson brought that punch from his back pocket. Herman was out, he is trying to argue that he was fine, but he was OUT. Roy Nelson wins by TKO (punch), 0:51 of round 1.
Cain Velasquez vs. Antonio Silva - Round 1 - Cain catches a kick and gets a quick takedown. Cain is landing a lot of punches and Bigfoot lands an upkick. Cain back on top throwing punches, just trying to be overwhelming here. Cain lands a few elbows and Bigfoot is bleeding badly. That's a very bad cut and Cain is just wearing him out. Silva tries to grab a leg and they're stopped so the doctor can look at the cut. Doctor asks if he can see, Silva says he can, doc says let it continue. Ref restarts Silva on the ground. Cain is just beating him up. Silva gives up his back, Cain pounds away. Silva turns back over and eats more big shots. Cain is just firing away and the fight is over. Cain Velasquez just DESTROYED Antonio Silva. That was not even remotely competitive. Cain Velasquez wins by TKO (punches), 3:36 of round 1.
UFC Heavyweight Championship: Junior dos Santos (c) vs. Frank Mir - Round 1 - Junior has the right hand loaded up. Mir comes in and grabs a leg, looking for a single leg. He can't pull guard successfully either. Body shot by Junior gets in, Mir misses a head kick. Left hook by Junior lands and he goes to the body again after. Leg kick by Mir. Mir working leg kicks and body kicks as well here. Good leg kick by Mir again but Junior with a left hand counter. Now Junior lands again, and again with a right hand. Straight left lands for Mir. Hard body shot by Junior gets in. Jab lands hard. Mir is stuck in a boxing match here and that's the worst possible thing for him. Big right hand by Junior and Mir is hurt. Junior flurries hard to try to finish but can't get it before the round ends.
Round 2 - Mir needs to go for broke to get this to the ground. Hard straight right hand for Junior, and again. Good shot lands for Junior, Mir goes down, Junior walks away, Mir pops right back up. Mir with a left hand and again. Eye poke and Herb Dean said he didn't see it so Mir is forced to fight while squinting away the pain. Another hard shot by Junior. Mir with a leg kick and another, not sure why he had stopped for about a round. And again he lands to the leg. Right hand drops Mir, Dos Santos is on him, Mir is trying to defend, he reaches for Junior and can't find him, so he slides in a circle, clearly out of it. One more shot by Junior and the ref ends it. Junior dos Santos wins by TKO (punches), 3:04 of round 2.

The weekend is almost here agaaaaain! Our big plan this weekend? Finally seeing The Hunger Games! I know I'm like a week late on this, but I actually just read the book last week as the movie was coming out. I was late to the game, but I'm totally on the bandwagon now. *Sigh*, let the obsession begin.
P.S - I'm wearing my blue and yellow today in honor of my Sabres :) They've been doing awesome making a huge playoff push recently, and they are making me very happy! Lets Go BUF-A-LO!
dress: BeBop; Buffalo Exchange
cardigan: H&M
necklace: shopHollyDolly
tights: Urban Outfitters
booties: Target
I'm over at Virginie's Cinema today with another hockey fan inspired outfit. Come on over and visit to see more!
Just a peek at what our Saturday looked like…
breakfast time!
gift cards + sale = new movies for Boo. And one for me. I bet you'll never be able to figure out which one is mine :)
funny story - turns out I already own that movie. How I didn't know this, I don't know. So now we will have to make a return. Doh.
And then my turn at the fabric store!
Lunch with my Boo.
Outfit photo time!
Boo wouldn't let me take his picture.
Ok ok, this is just another photo from the 1pm hour. But I forgot to take one for 2. Whoops.
Hangning up new corkboards. New solution for necklace storage!
Getting in some blog lovin' :)
Tv time with Boo.
On the menu for dinner: paninis and applesauce.
Watching Sabies and sipping hot cider out of my Sabies cup.
Boo's reading time.
Our family dog, Sassy, was put to sleep on friday :( . I was trying to find my favorite picture of her - one I took for my photography class in high school. I couldn't find it, but I do also love this one. Its a good 4 or 5 years old. Just playing in the snow together :)
Happy New Year everyone! How has everyones 2012 been so far?
We are finally back in Boston. And although I have already shared my instagram photos from Christmas Eve and Christmas day (see them here), I still have a bunch more from the rest of our week at home.
As usual, I have pictures of my cat, Tim Horton's coffee, and a Sabres game. Those are mandatory :) It wouldn't be a trip home without them!

from the top…
Oy, another 8 hour drive to Buffalo. I tried to keep myself busy by editing photos and and queuing up posts on the go. Until I shorted the fuse in our pluggy-thing. Awesome. But it got better when the very first thing I did when we got into Western New York was get some Tim Horton's coffee. Nothing says home like some Timmy Ho's.
Most of my week at home was just spent relaxing. I spent a lot of time in my pajamas and lounging around with Kiki. Even Thanksgiving was low-key. Dinner at my dads and then tv time with the brother.
And the best way to finish off a week at home - A Sabres game, of course!
Things that happened this weekend:
I had one of those days on friday where I pretty much didn't move off of my spot on the couch. Day - photo editing, coffee, and Grey's Anatomy reruns. Night - save the dates, sheep slippers, and the Sabres game. Same spot, just different activities.
I was in a very Sabre-y mood this weekend. At different times I sported both my 80's bomber jacket and my customized All Stars.
It was also a build a fort in the living room type of weekend. Completed with wings and buffalo chicken wing dip while we watched yet another Sabres game.
(L) my favorite necklace
(R) banana waffle at brunch with my boo.
how was your weekend?

BURLINGTON, Vt. (AP) - The two men behind a $28 million movie fundraising fraud scheme that shortchanged hundreds of Vermonters have started their federal prison sentences.
The Burlington Free Press reports Malcolm "Mac" Parker and Louis Soteriou were scheduled to begin their sentences Tuesday.
On Wednesday, the U.S. Bureau of Prisons inmate locator said the 56-year-old Parker, of Addison, was incarcerated at the Ray Brook Federal Correctional Facility in Ray Brook, N.Y.
The 56-year-old Soteriou, of Middlebury, Conn., was incarcerated at the Fort Devens Federal Medical Facility in Devens, Mass.
Last month Parker was sentenced to 55 months and Soteriou to 84 months.
Over a decade Parker oversaw both the fundraising and filming aspects of a movie project while Soteriou was a silent partner.
Investors lost an estimated $9 million.

Carol Then and Now
McBRIDE: I can't say for sure one way or the other. I hope we do. I hope that's not the last of her, but you know the way this show is. I don't know. It's unpredictable. The show is unpredictable. And we always think, well, if we don't see them die on camera, there's always a possibility. And then we do see them die on camera and sometimes they still come back, so who knows?
The Walking Dead's Melissa McBride's all cagey about whether we'll see Carol again after she was abandoned:

Judge, Jury, Executioner x Indifference
Character growth. Something the show needs a lot more of.
Carol Peletier in "Indifference"
I didn't make this but OMFG LMFAO….
It has to be real, awkward and stretch out. It's one of those rare relationships on a show where all the little things are more important than just one big act of sex. If you know a restaurant that has really good pie and you eat it every day, you don't want the pie. You just want a little taste, and it makes it a special thing.

Monday, November 19
Today, there is a LPS (Low Pressure System) over the GLR (Great Lakes Region) with a cold front that is stretched South, through the Midwest and into the Central Plains. There is also an extensive HPR (High Pressure Ridge) that is anchored over the Eastern half of the Nation and expands into the Deep South, to include Louisiana. This ridge is expected to continue influencing our forecast through the next several days.
This ridge of high pressure is deep and broad. It will remain anchored over the area through Wednesday and into Turkeyday 2012. Fair weather will continue through the week due to this High that is centered over New England and stretches into our area. As of now an upper-level low is dipped down over the SE U.S. However, it ends just to our north to impact our area. As it continues to fizzle out, it will bring little to no chance for rain as it moves very slowly.
The surface ridge will give way to an upper-level low later in the week. This will give us our best chance for rain (which will only be a slight chance).
For the rest of the day:
Expect plenty of sunshine, with some light In & Out cloud cover becoming mostly sunny to partly cloudy at times. Altogether, conditions will become very pleasant with daytime highs seasonably warm. Normally, (this time of the year) the average high is in the upper 80's. However, we can expect highs across Central Louisiana to climb into the upper 60's and lower 70's. Winds will start off calm and become light and variable all day.
Overnight, expect fair to partly cloudy skies with lows becoming quite chilly again and winds remaining near calm.
For the rest of the 7day planner:
Rain chances will stay extremely low through Thursday (Thanksgiving). Then, this front will move through bringing a slight chance for rain on Friday and Saturday.
As this front moves in, note that there are discrepancies between the different models. The biggest argument at this time is timing and strength. However, we could see a similar scenario to what played out last week. The intensity of this system could weaken and bring little to no chance for rain . For now, there is at least a slight chance for showers in the forecast for Friday and Saturday.
TODAY...Expect plenty of sunshine with a mixture of sunny skies and light clouds throughout the day. Highs 68-74. Winds will be light and variable, becoming North around 5mph.
MONDAY NIGHT...Fair to partly cloudy skies and Chilly. Lows 43-49. Winds light and variable.

The unpaid internship is often times the difference between graduating and finding a job right away or waiting on the sidelines for a while before getting that first job.
But, after a court ruling out Thursday, some are asking if the days of the unpaid internship are dead.
A federal judge ruled this week that FOX Searchlight Pictures violated minimum wage and overtime laws by not paying interns who worked on production of the movie "Black Swan."
The judge said they performed the same work as paid employees.
This case may lead some companies to rethink their internship program and whether it's worth the risk to keep hiring interns without pay.
Critics claim unpaid internships exploit young workers and drive down wages. Employers say they invest money in the programs and offer mentoring similar to vocational programs.
The biggest problem in the FOX Searchlight situation is that they were having their interns do the work that a paid employee would be doing, not just the menial tasks they thought they would be doing.
Department of Labor guidelines for determining whether an internship must be paid, includes stipulations that the internship be similar to what one would receive in an educational environment; that the internship be closely supervised; and that the intern not displace a paid worker.

Teacher Robyn Best and early childhood educator Julie Wright took notice and decided to build on their interest.
"We suggested they think of other objects they could try," said Wright, like hula-hoops.
In the classroom, they tried rolling objects in the block area and one group discovered if they rolled a cylinder down a ramp towards a wall of blocks, they could knock the wall down.
When the snow arrived, they rolled snowballs and watched them grow with each layer of snow, leaving tracks behind. Inside, students continued investigating tracks by rolling paint-covered marbles covered on a cookie sheet lined with paper.
The abundant snow outside shifted the students' interest from rolling to sliding.
They wondered what material would give them the best run down the hill at their school — cardboard, plastic, a rug, a cloth, a piece of fabric, and a garbage bag to see if it allowed them to slide more easily. After trying these materials, the educators asked them what they learned.
"Some can slide and some can't," said Lily.
The teaching team noted much of what the children were exploring when rolling and sliding related to movement.
To take it a step further, they asked students to think about the following question, "What is movement?"
This prompted countless responses as the children began linking movement with objects that move and bodies that move. And they quickly made a deeper connection — the idea of the brain and its importance in making the body move.
When they experiment and when they share their theories with others, they find out what works and what does not. This inquiry-based approached to learning builds on children's interests and motivates them to dig deeper.
Norm Blaseg is Director of Education for Rainbow District School Board.

This is a very random post/blog/etc… Little League season just started, my son is 10 and playing on the White Sox. While walking him up to practice, I couldn't find his team… Everybody was wearing red!
Most every boy and girl had some sort of Halo swag on their person; a hat, a shirt, or a snuggie. The coach of my son's team had his White Sox cap on supplemented with a red Halos tee. There was no bleeding Dodger blue,the wacky Yankee caps, or the random asshole from Lake Forest whose girlfriend wears a pink BoSox cap in Yorba Linda today; just kids playing baseball and wearing their colors… RED.

I just get an odd feeling that Jeff Fisher is going to resign after todays game. So what appears to be the majority on this site will get what they want. Will be a sad day in Oilers/Titans history if he does.
With Bud Adams siding with "He whom not be named" and Coach Fisher not wanting to deal with another season of the drama and with Coach Fishers past indicating that he will keep it classy with a resignation.

The same food that is in the cafeteria is served for dinner! I did however, LOVE the entertainment (comedians), sushi bar, tea service, pools, and size of ship. It was a pretty ship.
Our cabin steward was incredible and we tipped him very well at the end of the cruise. He was great! The adult salt-water pool, hot tub area was definitely a plus. We spent most of our time during the days there.
Our ports were Puerto Vallarta and two days in Cabo.
All in all, it was a great cruise. I was just plain hungry most of the time! The room service was pretty good! We would order grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner in our cabin and some of the time the cheese was really melted good.

Area residents with allergies might have noticed something besides flooding from the heavy rains.
Spring rain brings the beginning of allergy season with it due to the rain's spread of pollen and mold.
"The rain will work as a double-edged sword," Dr. Fatima Mohiuddin with SwedishAmerican Health System said. "One, it will have more mold spores to disperse in the air when it gets warm again, and then the rain will make the trees grow, and the tree pollen is another seasonal allergy that comes out in the spring."
Mold can also appear after a basement or room floods if the area is not cleaned immediately.

I will be at the Friday and Saturday games. I know that there is a fairly large contingent of Phillies people in the midstate and in MD/NVa. If anyone else is going to come to the games this weekend, you might check in here, and maybe we could coordinate some awkward internet dates.
By the way, if you are buying tickets for Saturday or Sunday, I strongly suggest being on the third base side, toward the LF corner. It is supposed to be hotter than the hinges of Hell, and if you sit along 1B or in RF, you are going to get baked, but not in a fun, college-age way. Getting seats under the overhang is probably a good idea, and I would avoid anything behind the dugouts. I went for Section 268 for the Saturday start (4:05). Tonight, I will be in Section 17, which is in RF, but it is a night game and should be fine.
Baltimore is pretty generous about bringing things in to the stadium. Get your peanuts from the ladies at the church. If you are in town for the weekend, make sure to visit the venues listed after the jump:
- the Akbar on N. Charles Street (great Indian Food at really fair prices) - before MLB went all 9-11 on bringing things in, I had takeout from the Akbar in LF at an Orioles game. It was just...awesome.
- Bertha's in Fell's Point - get some Natty Boh in cans! Shotgun them!
- the Black Olive in Fell's Point
- Jimmy's (for breakfast) in Fell's Point
- American Visionary Art Museum
- Karmic Connection in Fell's Point - for the giant Buddha, not for the enormous selection of, uh, tobacco pipes
- Baltimore Museum of Art - also home to Gertrude's, which is worthwhile on its own for its presentation of regional Chesapeake cuisine. The Bay is so much more than over-seasoned blue crabs, which I love and I am not knocking, but the Old Bay kills the delicate flavor of the crabmeat. Let's just be honest about it. John Shields is great at presenting it. He was regional before it was cool.
I'd suggest other places in the area, but if you're there for baseball, you are pretty much downtown. I don't get out to Federal Hill much, but there are cool places there, too. Baltimore in general is pretty nifty. Don't miss out on it by staying just in the Inner Harbor tourist trap.

We all cherish our family time, and a community in Tarpon Springs has found a great way for families to come together and do something good for other people. It's What's Right with Tampa Bay.
"Families get together and paint these chairs, and we auction them off and it goes to one child in need, and also for summer camp scholarships," said founder of Hot Seat Daniela Smyth.
"It's for a good cause, and gives us something fun to do and it gives us some time together," said volunteer Jace Kole.
Smyth is in charge of the event.
"I think it's important for communities to get together and do something for each other," Smyth said.
They've been doing Hot Seat for about five years, and they've auctioned off 500 chairs.
"Life in general is stressful. Raising a family is stressful, but coming out here and doing this as a family, it's a wonderful thing for them."
Trinity Nelson loves helping others.
"I think it's kind of cool because giving back to others is good for the community, and the more you give the more you receive," Nelson said.
And Jeffrey Ferron loves that he gets to do something creative and help people at the same time.
"You get to paint chairs and tables and you get to do all kinds of stuff here. And it's fun, because you get to paint whatever you want and sell it to an auction, and it helps a kid," Ferron said.
And people like Jennifer Plouffe who benefit from the "hot seat" fundraiser are so thankful that their neighborhood is there for them.
"It's amazing that a community will pull themselves and do this for our family. It makes me speechless."

text: This shouldn't even be a question. The dude was and still is considered a great talent. He has amazing hands and speed. His biggest problem was his weight issues. He a down year due to his quaterback troubles. And he is way better than Rueben Randle. Bleacher Report has him as there #1 wide receiver and they would not make such a bold statement if they thought he was a middle 2nd round talent. The dude plays in the best conference in football and dominates even with scrubs at qb. Coby Fleener is overrated and can't block he needs to be able to do both. Stephen Hill is a workout warrior. Janoris Jenkins and Courtney Upshaw woul be great picks here too but they do not give luck the help he needs. Ashlon Jeffery if he isnt picked with the 33 pick and we pick a guy like Fleener or Hill over him we are choosing a potential good player over a potential great player.

Whether you're traveling through Europe, South America or the U.S., there's no denying that big cities have a considerable draw, but if you're among those who like to enjoy the night sky, a metropolis is not your best bet. Densely populated areas tend to obscure the celestial bodies that hang in the heavens, but there are often more remote locations that can offer up breathtaking views of the stars. There are many ideal places, but according to Departures magazine, a few in particular that stand above the rest.
Australian Outback
Considered to be one of the remotest places in the world, the Australian Outback is one of the best places to check out the night sky. The region is expansive, but there are several places in particular that are best-suited for a night of stargazing, and that includes the world famous Ayers Rock. This large sandstone formation is among the most recognizable natural features in Australia, and adds a compelling backdrop to an already breathtaking scene.
Jasper National Park
When the Rocky Mountains extend into Canada, they certainly do not lose their luster, and that is the case at Jasper National Park in Alberta, and according to Departures, it stands as one of the best places to enjoy a night of stargazing. Light pollution is almost nonexistent and if you're lucky enough to visit during October you can take part in the Dark Sky Festival, an annual star gazing event. There are several good spots within the park, including Pyramid Island and Athabasca Glacier.
Sonoran Desert
The Arizona wilderness offers some of the most remote landscapes you're likely to encounter during United States travel, so that makes it perfect for looking to the skies at night. However, it's not just its remoteness that makes the Sonoran Desert a treat for stargazers. It's location on the globe opens up new pieces of the sky that you likely would not be able to see from other destinations.
"Being located in the southern latitudes of the United States means we can see more of the whole sky than places farther north," astronomer Richard Allen told the publication.

Update: See video footage of the suspect
An unknown suspect hid until closing at the Woodbridge Target over the weekend and raided the electronics section, stealing $10,000 in iPads and other products.
Police responded to an alarm sounding at 3:29 a.m. Saturday at Target, 2460 Prince William Parkway, according to police spokesman Jonathan Perok.
Officers found the rear emergency door was ajar. Survielence footage was not available at the time of the crime, but the suspect was spotted entering the store prior to closing.
Don't miss a headline! Like Woodbridge Patch on Facebook!
The suspect is believed to have used tools from the store to break into cabinets in the electronic section, according to Perok.
"The suspect took multiple iPads and other property, valued around $10,000, before fleeing the store through the emergency exit which triggered the alarm," Perok said.
Police are on the lookout for a white male, between 16 and 24, 5'10", approximately 130lbs, with a thin build and short brown hair. He was last seen wearing a hooded sweatshirt, dark colored jeans and black sneakers.

BMW maintains lead in global luxury race
Sales rise 8% in April, boosted by SUV demand
FRANKFURT -- BMW Group remains the world's best-selling premium automaker after vehicle sales at its namesake BMW brand rose 8 percent to 140,840 in April.
Last month's gain pushed the BMW brand's four-month deliveries up 11 percent to 569,100 vehicles, the automaker said in a statement today.
"The BMW Group achieved record sales in April, keeping us on track to achieve our aim of delivering our best ever year with more than two million vehicles sold in 2014," Ian Robertson, the automaker's sales chief, said in the statement.
BMW's brand gains continued to be driven by strong demand for its SUVs. In the first four months X1 sales climbed 12 percent, X3 volume 10 percent and X5 deliveries 21 percent.
Competition is heating up among BMW and its German rivals Audi, No. 2 in global luxury sales and third-placed Mercedes-Benz. Audi's sales briefly passed BMW's at the beginning of the year and Mercedes' volume is being boosted by its new compact-car range.
All three companies expect record deliveries this year, helped by surging demand in China and the United States.
Audi, Mercedes surge
Audi's April sales rose 12 percent to 149,050 compared with the same month in 2013, while Mercedes brand's volume rose 14 percent to 133,077. Audi's four-month sales are up 12 percent to 561,900. Mercedes brand sales rose 15 percent to 507,353.
BMW Group, which also owns the Mini and Rolls-Royce brands, forecasts that group sales will exceed 2 million autos for the first time this year, achieving the target two years earlier than originally planned.
Mini sales decline
BMW Group sales including the Mini brand rose 4 percent to 162,093 in April, boosting group deliveries to 649,118 in the first four months, a rise of 8 percent.
Sales of BMW and Mini vehicles in Europe rose 2 percent to 283,702 through April, while in China deliveries were up 25 percent to 145,716. In the United States, sales rose 3 percent to 110,626.
Mini sales fell 15 percent last month to 20,917, while four-month sales dropped 13 percent to 78,785.

In the spring, TV One announced the return of Love That Girl!, the half-hour comedy series chronicling the life and times of Imunique Jefferson and Delroy Jones. The network has now set a premiere date for the series, and debuted a first trailer, which is embedded below.
Created by Bentley Kyle Evans (Martin, The Jamie Foxx Show), the 4th season features a cast that includes Phil Morris, Bresha Webb, Alphonso McAuley, Peter Oldring, Mark Adair-Rios, and Huggy Low Down.
It looks like Tatyana Ali is not returning however.
New to the series during the upcoming season will be Reagan Gomez who'll be playing Del Jones Realty's newest employee, as well as Delroy's niece, Jasmine Russell, who discovers that making it in LA is tougher than she imagined.
"Our audience has been very vocal about their affinity towards this show," explained Alfred C. Liggins, III, President and CEO of TV One, in a press statement. "The return of Love That Girl! speaks to the strength of the series - our viewers championed its return, and TV One answered the call."
"I am delighted to continue my relationship with TV One and revisit these characters that were so dear to the audience," said series creator Bentley Evans. "I've been getting numerous questions about the series and it thrills me to share with everyone that we are back and better than ever!"
The series will premiere on October 11 at 9:30/8:30c.

Recently there was a FanPost here on Silver Screen and Roll titled "Poll: Second Favorite Team?" There were quite a few different answers and quite a few interesting comments. I voted for the Spurs with a bit of a caveat….."I don't have a second favorite team, but I have only one other team that I respect so I voted for them. Spurs." Apparently 8 other people agreed with me since as of now there are 9 votes out of 172 for the Spurs. I took a little bit of crap (very little actually), but it got me thinking.Why do Laker fans hate the Spurs? I understand why I should, but I just don't. I think my feelings about other NBA teams can be summed up in three ways. Hate. Pity. Indifference. I hate the Celtics (of course), Nuggets, Rockets, Suns, Mavericks (with a passion), Blazers, and a few others as well. I pity a few like the Clippers, Warriors, Kings, Grizzlies, Nets, and a few others. I am indifferent about a few as well like the Pacers, Thunder, 76ers, Knicks, Magic, etc. However I just can't seem to fit the Spurs into any of these categories.
In reality they fit into their own category…….Respect. Why do I respect them? Glad you asked.
To answer that question I have to pose another question. What do we hate about other teams and their fans? a) They want respect but they haven't earned it. (Nuggets, Blazers, Rockets, etc) b) They have beaten/embarrassed the Lakers in the playoffs, and then choked.(Suns). c)Their fans blame losing on officials or league Bias. (Nuggets x1000), d)Their fans troll our site and start trouble, disrespect our city, our team, and our fans. (Celtics, Nuggets, Suns, etc). e) Their team is full of a-holes that don't deserve our respect (Nuggets……are we sensing a pattern here?) f)They don't play the right way……or at least most people's idea of the right way "defense wins Championships right?" (Suns, Warriors, Knicks).
So let's go through the list and see where the Spurs fit. Have they earned respect? I think so. Of their 4 championships only once did they "take one away from us". And when they beat us, they win it all. Do you ever hear/read their fans blame losing on officials? I don't remember seeing it. As a matter of fact when Fisher fouled Brent Barry in the playoffs most Spurs fans I heard said something like this….."You can't expect to get that call in the Playoffs" or "We shouldn't have put ourselves in that position to begin with". In short, they blame their team not the League (sound like another team you know? Think Purple and Gold). Have you seen any Spurs trolls around here lately? Seen any anti-Lakers posts on Pounding the Rock lately? Me neither. Think about Duncan, Ginobili, Parker, Jefferson, etc…. Any a-holes in the group? Any DUI's. Any arrests for domestic violence? I don't remember any. Lastly, do they play the game the right way? I think so.
In conclusion, I understand the rivalry, I agree with rooting against them, but I just can't HATE them, I just can't. I respect them too much. To be honest they are the only other team I do respect.
I am curious to read what any of you think…….thanks.

John Meyer's Curriculum Vitae (108.0KB, modified May 2009)
John Meyer is a professor of sociology (and by courtesy, education) emeritus, at Stanford; a faculty member at CDDRL; and a senior fellow, by courtesy, at FSI. He received his PhD from Columbia University, and taught there for several years before coming to Stanford. His research has focused on the spread of modern institutions around the world, and their impact on national states and societies. He is particularly interested in the spread and impact of scientific activity, and in the expansion and standardization of educational models. He has made many contributions to organizational theory (e.g., Organizational Environments, with W. R. Scott, Sage 1983), and to the sociology of education, developing lines of thought now called neoinstitutional theory. Since the late 1970s, he has worked on issues related to the impact of global society on national states and societies (e.g., Institutional Structure, co-authored with others, Sage 1987). Currently, he is completing a collaborative study of worldwide science and its impact on national societies (Drori, et al., Science in the Modern World Polity, Stanford, 2003), and is working on a study of the rise and impact of the worldwide human rights regime.

Sunday, Nov. 2, 1913. Two days before Election Day, Rev. Warren G. Partridge continues his series on "City Problems" with a sermon on "The Ballot and Good Citizenship" at Fifth Avenue Baptist Church.
"Patriotism is a Christian virtue," Partridge says, "This love for country should be manifested in a practical way. Some people exhaust their patriotism by firing off a few firecrackers and hanging out an American flag on the Fourth of July.
"Loud talking about the American eagle is not patriotism. Sentimentality is not love of the state. Actions speak louder than words."
Partridge believes that Christians should be actively interested in local politics, on which civic morality depends. However, "many good people seem to have the commercial viewpoint in everything. Such citizens believe that what Troy needs above all are some more factories and manufacturing plants. That more varied industries would attract capital and labor, and thus increase the population.
"All of us would rejoice in the growth and progress of the city along material lines. But let us remember that civic morality is a valuable asset; and that many cities grow in population because young people, and boys, and girls, can have in such centers an environment that will result in moral health.
"Many business men say they are too busy looking after their own business affairs to take an interest in politics," Partridge notes. That attitude threatens to leave politics to the city's "vicious element," who will "cast their ballots, if they can manage to secure any graft or pecuniary gain. The gamblers, saloon keepers, grafters and keepers of evil resorts will cast their ballots for the men who will give them the 'open city' and all the license they wish to debauch the youth of the city."
The vicious element empowers political bosses who live off the graft they can get out of politics. "Many citizens are so stupid that they take their orders from some organization or from the big or little boss," Partridge charges, "Many votes are bought and sold. There is in every community a purchasable element. The church should denounce their crimes as it should denounce every offense against the Ten Commandments."
Christians and all good citizens need to educate themselves about the real stakes in any political campaign, Partridge says. They shouldn't be distracted by politicians railing about taxes, a subject popular with those who "wish to win the votes of the moral element and the immoral element….As if low taxes was the only issue in a campaign, and that the people had no interest in how low the morals would become" if cities become "wholly commercialized."

Wando alum and College of Charleston OF Daniel Aldrich has signed a deal with the New York Yankees a CofC official confirmed Monday night.
Aldrich made a big impact with the Cougars over the past 2 seasons. He was named the National Freshman of the Year by Collegiate Baseball and a 1st team All-American by 4 different lists including Louisville Slugger.
He would also go on to win the Collegiate Home Run Derby in Omaha, NE in 2011.
Aldrich's numbers dropped off in 2012, but he still managed to hit .287 with 11 homers and 46 RBI.
In his time with the Warriors, Aldrich was a two time All-State selection and was named 2nd team All-American by Baseball America.
The Yankees confirmed the deal on Tuesday afternoon and said Aldrich would report to Spring Training next season.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - In a gubernatorial race where Virginia voters are putting the trust issue foremost, a new statewide poll says Democrat Terry McAuliffe has a clear lead over Republican Ken Cuccinelli.
Quinnnipiac University's just-released survey of 1,129 likely voters found that 48 percent supported McAuliffe to 42 percent who backed Cuccinelli, the state attorney general.
The poll is based on telephone interviews from Aug. 14-19. McAuliffe's lead is just outside the poll's margin of sampling error of plus or minus 2.9 percentage points.
Trustworthiness was the respondents' top concern as 93 percent of respondents ranked it as very important or extremely important to them. Forty-two percent considered Cuccinelli trustworthy while 43 percent said he's not. Thirty-nine percent found McAuliffe trustworthy compared to 36 percent who said he isn't.

ANDERSON — The busiest week on Madison County's high school sports calendar is going to start a day later than expected.
With snow predicted for the overnight hours and the high predicted to top out at 40 degrees Tuesday, a decision was made to push back the start of the Nick Muller Memorial Baseball Tournament and the Madison County Softball Tournament by 24 hours.
Both events will kick off at 5 p.m. Wednesday, joining the Madison County Girls Tennis Tournament on a crowded schedule that also will add the county track and field championships on Friday.
Temperatures Wednesday are expected to reach 53 degress with highs in the 60s forecast for Thursday and Friday. The one bump in the road is a 30 percent chance of rain Friday that could alter the schedule for Saturday's baseball and softball championship rounds.
This week annually produces a minefield for athletic directors to navigate. If all goes well, five new county champions will be crowned by 10 p.m. Saturday night. Getting there, however, always seems to be an adventure.
The current baseball and softball schedules call for games to be played Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Any additional hiccups with the weather will cause further delays and reschedulings.
But, as it stands, the baseball teams face the most immediate challenge. Specifically Alexandria and Anderson Prep, who are slated to compete in the Muller tourney's second "play-in" game.
The addition of a ninth team — APA — in the baseball and softball brackets last year called for a new format. In this year's field, that results in the APA-Alex winner taking on Pendleton Heights on Thursday while Wednesday's three other winners rest for Friday's semifinals.
In the softball bracket, Elwood and Lapel drew the "play-in" assignment, with the winner facing Anderson on Thursday. The biggest difference is that softball pitchers don't require as much rest between starts.

The elephant in the room is that we don't know how the new CBA will look. That said let's take a look at how the key players in the upcoming free agency market are positioned.
*note all salary numbers are from the team salary database located at www.shamsports.com
On the books: $43,422,824
The Warriors have 8 players on the books for next year with total salary commitments of $43,422,824
Jeremy Lin $788,872 (unguaranteed)
Jeff Adrien $788,872 (only $50,000 guaranteed if waived by 6/20/2011)
Player options/Early termination options: $6,502,920
Charlie Bell $4,099,920
Louis Amundson $2,403,000
Restricted Free Agents:
Unrestricted Free Agents:
2011 Draft picks:
11th and 43rd overall
Trade Exceptions:
$2,000,000 A. Morrow
$1,800,000 C. Watson
Unless Charlie Bell or Louis Amundson walk a way from the last year of their respective deals the Warriors will have just under $50,000,000 committed prior to signing their draft picks. The 11th pick will get a salary of between 80-120% of $1,827,400. It's almost certain the rookie would be signed for 120% at this is standard practice. So with their 11th pick signed and Bell and Amundson playing out their contracts the Warriors would have 11 players on the books for a total of $52,118,624. They could free up another million and a half by waiving their unguaranteed players, but would face cap-hold nearly as large as these contracts until they reach the 12 player roster minimum. Based on the current CBA the Warriors would have some room to pursue a quality FA, but they would not be in a position to "throw money at" Nene, Jordan, Gasol etc. If the Warriors do want to become major players in this upcoming free agent market they will need a salary dump. I have a hard time believing they find a taker for Biedrins. Similarly David Lee's a talented player, but with roughly $69 million left over the next 5 years of his deal I would amazed to see him moved this off season. That leaves Ellis and Wright as I assume there is no chance either Curry or Udoh would be considered for a salary dump. Wright started and played well for the Warriors and is a bargain at his under $4 million. Ellis has been the Warriors fringe all-star and one of the fan favorites, but it comes to this: if the Warriors want to make a major play for one the free agent centers available this year they will likely have to part with Ellis in a salary dump for younger cheaper talent. Free agency outlook for the Warriors is solid for mid-level players unless they shake things up.

Heather Kent is the first to admit her son has had behavioral issues at Southside Middle School in Tallassee.
"He has ADHD, bi-polar and anger issues and he takes medicine," said Kent.
In fact, a recent fight with another student landed 13-year old Stone Kent in the school's in-school suspension program, simply meaning Stone spent a few days in one room.
And Mrs. Kent says that's when it happened.
"Goodman's cell phone was propped up against the tape dispenser and it had fallen. The phone's screen was up and Stone's picture was on the front of the screen and the red record light was still flashing but it must have been paused because it wasn't moving," Kent alleges.
Heather Kent filed a police report, a report that identifies the coach/teacher as John David Goodman. Kent says the phone video allegedly shows Stone having his head down on his desk.
"I just want to know why he was doing it. I've signed no papers consenting my son to be photographed or video-taped. It bothers me this was the teacher's personal cell phone and what was he going to do with it?" Kent said.
Heather Kent feels as though school leaders aren't taking her complaint seriously, and she says she has no plans to fade away.
Not true, according to Tallassee City School Superintendent Ken Varner. Varner says because of privacy laws, he wouldn't answer specific questions about the situation but says he is aware of the complaint and the school district is 'looking into the matter.'
Tallassee Police Chief Jimmy Rodgers says for now this is a matter to be handled by the school district. Chief Rodgers say if a crime has taken place the police would then get involved.
For now, a school investigation is ongoing and a mom is waiting for answers.

Ross and I are in our late 30s and have been married 18 years. Early in our marriage we decided to be open and honest with each other. Naturally, sex was one of the more important issues we were honest about. "Wild Thrills" is one of our favorite sections and over the years some fun ideas have come from Forum.
One exciting sex session occurred when I was bet $100 that I couldn't finish a maze puzzle in less than 45 seconds. That was the best Clark, a friend of ours, had done with the puzzle. If I lost, I had to parade around naked and do as I was told. Ross and Clark both put up $50 and I "bet my ass." It was agreed that Clark could do anything to distract me except touch me or turn out the lights. I had no idea just how far he would go to distract me, but I was intent on winning.
I was sitting Indian style on the floor in nothing but an oversize T shirt, which allowed a perfect view of my pussy. Even though losing meant winning, I was determined to show the guys I could meet the challenge and beat them. The clock started and I immediately became rigid and tense, my hands shaking uncontrollably.
I had to get five small steel balls into the center of the labyrinth in 45 seconds. I lost my concentration when Clark whispered in my ear how pretty my pussy was and how he would like to slide his tongue across the lips and suck on my love button. I felt my juices starting to flow as he crawled over to my pussy, put his mouth inches away from me and started to blow. The clock had ticked away 15 seconds and Ross sat with the stopwatch in hand, loudly announcing every five seconds that passed.
Clark continued his sweet torture with his lewd, seductive phrases and warm breath only inches away from my quivering body. Thirty five seconds passed and I only had one ball in the center of the maze. I summoned all my determination to get the three balls into the center in the next five seconds. "Damn, she's almost there," shouted Clark. "We'd better get serious!"
Ross and Clark were both on the floor giving me the thrill chill of a lifetime. But when the time was up, the maze was complete! The look on their faces was one of total shock and disbelief. They started laughing as I tried to stand in triumph. I felt my legs weaken, then just collapsed on the floor with them. I smiled and told them I would bet all my winnings that they couldn't make me come all night long. It didn't take long for the lights to be dimmed and soft, sweet, sexy sounds to be turned up on the stereo. I had two rock hard cocks ready to make me eat my words.
Clark brought out some jasmine scented body oil. He heated it in the microwave and then, starting at my toes, worked this way up my legs to my pulsating cunt lips. I held Ross's beautiful cock in my hand, then guided him to my waiting mouth. Clark moved himself into position to mouth my cunt. His tongue teasingly drew little circles around my clit. I felt that familiar shudder and had my first orgasm of the night.
Ross and Clark won. We played in every position three people can dream of. The funny thing is, I'm not the gambling type. I only like to win. And I did!

Mitchell and Salo Not Ready / Rypien Good-To-Go
The Province reports today that Willie Mitchell may be suffering from a concussion from that Malkin hit. Sami Salo's groin is still sore. Both will most likely not play Monday as both were not at practice today. Oh well, we have Lukowich and Baumgartner! I don't mind seeing those guys getting more opportunity. Rick Rypien was at practice, playing on a line with Ryan Johnson and Tanner Glass, which probably means that Darcy Hordichuk will sit out against the Sabres.

You a QB expert?
John Elway, Steve McNair, Steve Young, Donovan McNabb, Randall Cunningham and dare I say, Jeff Garcia... were all at one time, scrambling QBs who adjusted. I think Tebow can do it too. We won't know until he actually goes into the NFL. I hate all this decisiveness.
Work on your reading comprehension troll..."I think Tebow can do it too."You act like I said the"QB expert" thing above. Anything for you to be cool on the internet, I guess.

On Saturday 3rd July, Regional Head Coach, Paul Carter, paid a visit to the Lewsey Squash Centre to coach and assess some of our older youngsters. The visit is part of Paul's tour of the region to improve the quality of coaching and the quality of youngsters within the Eastern Region following recent reviews of strategy.
The youngsters were certainly energised by having such a luminary visit, to the extent that two of them organised a social game the next day, probably the first extra-curricular game that has been played between juniors in the last 3 or 4 years.
Paul enthused about the quality generally and has agreed to visit again in the autumn to do some video and analysis work with both the juniors and the coaches to make sure the coaches are identifying key areas of weakness.
Ramon, one of our Level 1 coaches, said, "It was great to see a coach of such quality at work. My son Kurran certainly learned a lot, even in such a comparatively short space of time."
On the 10th, it's the turn of the very young ones to have a regional visitor in the shape of Chris Vine, a specialist in Mini-Squash who has set up a ground breaking Mini Squash league in the County of Essex.
