SPECIAL OFFER: - Limited Time Only!
(The ad below will not display on your printed page)
If enjoying all the goodies at last night's party left you feeling anything but jolly, don't despair. One too many cups of high-octane eggnog or that second piece of pie may have given you a headache or an upset stomach, but it needn't sabotage your weight-loss or fitness goals, or plunge you into a cycle of overeating.
The morning-after effects of overeating can range from the merely annoying (think tight waistbands) to serious tummy troubles. Here, how to recover when you indulged in . . .Too much fat
Eating rich desserts, such as cheesecake or ice cream, can overload your system and cause nausea and diarrhea -- especially if you've been on a low-fat diet, reports Lisa Young, Ph.D., R.D., adjunct assistant professor in the department of nutrition and food studies at New York University, in New York City. At the very least, you'll wake up feeling fatigued and full.
The solution: Drink lots of fluids, ideally water, to aid digestion. Eat something light and low-fat, such as fruit and cereal with skim milk. If you're queasy, toast with honey can help settle your stomach. If you have diarrhea, stick with bland foods and steer clear of fruits and vegetables.
Avoid: Starving yourself, which can worsen nausea and -- once you get hungry again -- kick-start the cycle of overeating.Too much salt
If you couldn't keep your hand out of the potato-chip bowl, you're probably feeling thirsty and bloated, says Leslie Bonci, R.D., director of the sports-medicine nutrition program at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
The solution: "Consume lots of liquids early in the day -- to help flush out the fluids that salt retains," says Bonci. Good choices: water and chamomile tea, which is a natural diuretic.
Avoid: Salty fluids, such as tomato juice and high-sodium soups, spicy foods (the spices often contain added salt) and soda.
Whether you consumed an entire bag of M&M's or had three helpings of stuffing, the worst effects -- a sugar rush and/or an overwhelming urge to snooze -- will likely have passed by morning. (While fat takes at least eight hours to be broken down, the body breaks down carbohydrates within about four hours.) However, you may still feel groggy and sluggish, and -- because carbs cause the body to hold onto fluid -- parched, swollen, even stiff.
The solution: Hydrate with water and decaffeinated beverages such as herb tea. Eat light all day -- have some yogurt or cottage cheese for breakfast rather than a bagel. Be sure to include lean protein such as white-meat skinless chicken or turkey -- which will satisfy your hunger without overloading your system.
Avoid: Starting the day with sweets such as doughnuts or a Danish. Choose foods with more savory flavors instead to give your body a break, suggests Bonci.Too much alcohol
Plain and simple, alcohol leaves you dehydrated.
The solution: Drink diluted fruit juice (half water, half juice) to replace lost fluids. Bland foods such as rice, dry toast or cereal, chicken noodle soup and bananas are easy for a queasy stomach to digest (bananas also supply the B vitamins that alcohol saps out of your body).
Avoid: Acetaminophen, which, according to Franca Alphin, R.D., clinical associate in the department of community and family medicine at Duke University Student Health Services, weighs heavily on your liver -- the same organ that's processing the alcohol from the night before. To treat a hangover, take ibuprofen instead. Caffeinated beverages may keep you alert, but will cause further dehydration.
Exercising may be the last thing you feel like doing the morning after a night of partying. But a light workout is just what you need, according to exercise physiologist Carol Espel, general manager of Equinox Fitness Club, in Scarsdale, New York. "Because exercise stimulates your metabolism and heart rate, it speeds the process of flushing away alcohol and extra calories," she says. Within 10 minutes, you'll feel more alert and energized. Here's an easy routine that makes an ideal warm-up for a short walk in the fresh air.Squats
Do 10 to 20 mini squats.
How-tos: Stand with feet slightly wider than hip-distance apart and slightly turned out. Bend knees and hips as if lowering yourself to sit in a chair -- but go down only halfway. Return to standing position and repeat.Jumping jacks
Do a set of 10 jumping jacks, followed by a set of 10 split jacks.
Split jack how-tos: As in cross-country skiing, alternate bringing the left foot and right arm forward while the right foot and left arm go back.Crunches
Do two sets of 10 repetitions of crunches.
How-tos: Lie on your back on an exercise mat or rug with knees bent, pressing the small of your back into the floor. Place hands behind head. While exhaling, slowly curl up, just clearing your shoulder blades.Stretches
End with a stretch for your lower back and hips.
How-tos: Lying on your back, pull both knees toward chest and allow your upper spine to "melt" into the floor. Hold for 30 seconds. Next, extend arms straight out at sides with palms down. Let both knees fall to the right and turn your head to the left. Breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth, take four deep breaths. Reverse sides and repeat. Finish by bringing knees back to center.
Don't weigh yourself. Though the needle on your scale will probably have inched up somewhat following a binge, it's more likely the result of fluid retention than true weight gain, according to Bonci. To gain one pound, you would need to consume a whopping 3,500 calories over your normal intake. Contrary to popular belief, the average adult gains just under a pound during the holidays.
Do watch out for the "What the heck, I already blew it" mind-set. "Eating a few brownies isn't the problem. It's everything else you eat afterward because you're angry at yourself for eating the brownies," explains Young. Accept that you overdid it, then move on and resume healthier eating habits.
Don't be tempted. Before your next celebration, eat a few peanut-butter crackers or a small piece of bread to help curb your appetite, suggests Alphin. At the party, make your first drink of the evening sparkling water to help lower your intake of alcohol. Substitute chips and dips with cut-up veggies. Wait 10 minutes before diving into an extra-rich dish. Decide whether you're really hungry or just have party jitters.
Do have fun. During a holiday get-together, try to focus on the other guests, not food. What you eat should enhance the pleasure of their company, not the other way around.

Media from around the world commended you on your willingness to disclose who you really are, and the important groundwork that you recently broke. You have opened an opportunity for gay men whom have strayed away from the sports they so crave all because of a need to keep a secret. Members of Outsports on the SB Nation (a group dedicated to gay athletics) shouted your praises, yet there is far more people who live & entertain a LGBT lifestyle, including myself, who never visit any site that is designed for the gay community.
You need to educate some folk's Jason. Sorry to throw this at you, but thereis no better person to do it than you, and certainly don't let Steven A. Smith beat you to it!
Well that same Media that just spent days singing your praises...are now out to persecute Roy Hibbert for his remark "No Homo" which is a Urban Slang. I'm sure that you are aware, this is NOT an insult to the LGBT community, as it was not used in malicious content.
No Homo Compatible Share on twitter Share on facebook Share on more
|190 up, 22 down
|Meaning if its appropriate or not to say/place "No Homo" after a sentence. If "No Homo" is "Compatible" with a sentence or not.
Reasons for "No Homo" not being compatible with a sentence are: 1. The sentence was not homo. 2. The Sentence was too homo. 1. "Dude do you wanna play GTA IV?, No Homo"- Not No Homo Compatible, sentence was not homo.
2. "Dude can I lick your balls?, No Homo"- Not No Homo Compatible, sentence was entirely too homo.
3. "Dude do you wanna go beat this dudes ass?, No Homo"- No Homo Compatible, sentence could have been homo.
Jason, you know Urban Slang and the context in which this was used. We as a nation have grown immensely understanding culture and accepting diversity. As little as 20 years ago just the mention of the word "Boy" in a sentence around the African-American community was disrespectful and considered vulgar, even if you were saying it in a completely non-racial and nor condescending sentence such as "Boy, that was a hell of dunk". Hibbert's "no homo" remark should be understood in the context it was used.
This is one instance Jason you can't sit by and let a man's reputation get tarnished by this tabloid society out to create a story out of nothing. Despite all the wonderful, and charitable acts from Roy, you can't sit on your hands and just say "that was stupid Roy". The key to overcoming ignorance, is often education.
I'm fairly certain you have zero desire to become some martyr which is your prerogative. I'm just asking you to answer a simple question today: when those tweets and texts start coming.

The Fifth District Court of Appeal ruled on Friday to overturn the trial court's ruling about sovereign immunity and attorney's fees in the Ereck Plancher wrongful death case.
The trial court originally ruled that UCFAA was not controlled by the University of Central Florida and was not subject to sovereign immunity; which caps damages to state agencies at $200,000.
The decision was appealed and damages were capped at $200,000. The award at trial was $10 million.
The court wrote, in part, that the UCF Athletics Association "is wholly controlled by and intertwined with UCF, in that UCF created it, funded it and can dissolve it, in addition to oversee its day-to-day operations."
The court also reversed awarding the plaintiff's attorney's fees of $1,897,720 and costs of $524,937.22. UCFAA will not have to pay these costs.
UCF Spokesperson Grant Heston issued the following statement about the rulings.
"Ereck remains in our thoughts, and we honor his memory as part of our football program. The ruling about sovereign immunity confirms our long-held position about this important issue, and we are pleased with the decision."
Plancher, a UCF wide receiver, died on the practice field after drills in March 2008.

Client Feedback
'Need your website built by a true professional?'
"Our business depends very much on our web presence. Our old website was not pulling the traffic we had anticipated. What we really wanted was a website to stand out from our competitors, together with the right words to really communicate with our customers.
"From our experience, larger web design companies lacked the personal touch, as well as expertise. In other words if you choose a large design company it is as good as buying a ready made suit or a factory made pair of shoes. On the other hand, if you choose tailor or hand-made products they are designed to fit you perfectly.
"That is what Chris Mole is capable of doing. He will understand your business, research the competition and like a true craftsman who takes pride in his job, will deliver on time a made-to-measure website that will fit your business like a made-to-measure suit or a pair of handmade shoes made just for you.
"When was the last time that you had a pair of shoes made for you? Have a pair made for you and you will see the difference. Have Chris Mole build your website and see the difference!"
Harry Zachariadis, Managing director, Venus Supplies Ltd.
"I have worked with Chris Mole for a number of years in developing several websites for our business operations. Chris has proven to have considerable ability in developing very good, clean, fully functioning websites, particularly for small and medium sized businesses.
"Our website requirements have included clear, well-written text, combined with quality graphics and logo branding, as well as linking to online payment options. Chris has very efficiently and promptly met our requirements and built our websites to a very high standard and in a truly professional manner."
Neil Butler, Managing Director, Zeal Extracts Ltd, Better Business Bureau Ltd
"Chris - you are a megastar - no two ways about it. You have created the most fantastic website for me - a website I think is absolutely perfect and if I'd known how to describe it to you I would have chosen it exactly. I am thrilled to bits with it.
"But even more important to me … for someone who is completely clueless and also nervous about putting up a website and not having any idea at all about what I really wanted … you have been my counsellor and mentor and that has been absolutely invaluable. I don't know how you kept your patience sometimes and you were amazing the way you always responded to my emails so quickly."
Alex Barton - Bristol, UK
"Chris Mole designed our website and also wrote the sales copy. I was amazed how quickly we started getting enquiries and I'm sure it is due to the quality of the web pages Chris put together. This is the best way to advertise our steel-frame kitset homes – far more effective than newspaper advertising. I am receiving at least 20 inquiries every day directly off the website, which is really pleasing at the early stages of setting up the company. I refer other potential clients to Chris as I know they will get a well presented website that will create the same positive results that we are receiving."
Rod Hill - Christchurch, NZ
"I had two new businesses to get off the ground, and two new websites that needed designing. I came across Chris Mole immediately liked what I saw. The outcome exceeded my expectations. Chris listened to everything I asked and made it happen. With both websites, he came through with more than I could have hoped for! Thank you Chris for all your time and efforts. It has certainly been good value for money and just what I needed. I recommend you to all!
Phill Sadgrove - Auckland, NZ
"Chris, I reckon I've had more enquiries over the last month, since you re-wrote my website, than I had all of last year. I was looking at my site's statistics over the weekend and I don't really seem to be getting a lot more hits but those that are visiting must be liking what they see. I appreciate the time and effort you put in to what you did for me." Nigel Alsop - Christchurch, NZ
"Chris, thank you for the time and 100% effort you put into writing for our new business and website. The copy is absolutely brilliant, you had no problem whatsoever in communicating with us and putting into words our message to help sum up our new business perfectly. Chris, may we add, when it comes to providing service you are one out of the bag. Just outstanding would sum you up. Should anyone we know be looking for a copywriter we will be recommending no one other than Chris Mole.
Paul and Marie McGahan - Auckland, NZ

Your Biggest Gaming Disappointment
I'm sure we've all been there, waiting for the release of a highly anticipated game, or the next game in the series for your favourite franchise. You've read a little about the game (maybe you've read a lot), and regardless of how much you try to minimize your expectations, they are there. You are hopeful of something, you are expecting something. You don't know what, but you are excited even though you have no real idea on how the experience is actually going to be.
With expectation though, comes disappointment. It's very rare for something to meet up to the standards that you have set, standards that have been set without your conscious thinking.
So my question to you my fellow Polynauts, is what is your biggest gaming disappointment?
For me, I'm not too sure really. But perhaps it was Guardian Heroes Advance. I adore the first game on the Saturn, and before I decided to pick up this game on my SP, I had come of some outstanding portable gaming experiences in the form of Golden Sun 2 and the Dragon Ball RPG series. I wasn't expecting it to be a game on par with the Saturn version, but I was expecting it to deliver a good experience. Instead, it wasn't. It played mediocre at best, and the setting and narrative were terrible. I never did finish the game.
Oh, another one; Streets of Rage 3. It's a game that I liked when I first played, it was new after all and I wasn't all that old still. Maybe 9 or 10, something like that. But after a while, I just found so many parts of the game disappointing.
I was miffed by the absence of Max (my favourite character in 2), but the replacement being Zan, just rubbed salt into the wound.
There were some good ideas, like running, weapons specials and the stars. But the balancing was way off, the sound effects and music weren't as good, the level design was terrible at times and the bosses were a real let down in comparison to 2. They also added the difficulty factor to the progression as well, so you could only beat the game on hard I think. And that tied to the balancing and annoying bosses and stages just made it a chore to playthough (the 3 Ninjas are so boring as a boss).
It was the ultimate example of doing a sequel wrong, whereas 2 is the ultimate example (along with Dynasty Warriors 3 and Street Fighter 2) of doing a sequel right.

Start at the southwest corner of boulder 3 at the small tree. Large holds at head level make the problem look deceptively easy. Route goes straight up and over with the crux reaching the upper lip of the boulder. Top out on thin but solid crimpers and thankfully grippy feet. Top out makes a good finish for NGE as well. I don't see this route listed yet but I can hardly believe I'm the first. Let me know and I'll fix the credits!

Delonte Hill is getting on local 2013 PG Roddy Peters according to InsideMDsports. It appears his only offers and interest so far are from the mid-majors, but he claims that MD is definitely his favorite and if they were to offer he would commit.
Rivals - 3 star rating, 138 nationally
ESPN - no profile exists
247sports - not rated
Averaged 16pts, 10 rebounds for Suitland last year. 6'4", 190lb PG. I'm bored at work so I did some searching around the internet and found a Capital Hoops top 100 highlight video with Roddy in it around the 4:00 minute mark. They list him as a SG, and it appears he is more of a combo guard with his size, but it looks like he can shoot and pass in the lane. (Note: this must be a dc area top 100 camp, never heard of it but was some of the only stuff I could find on him at work...too many things are blocked.)
Here is an interview with him from the Hoop Group Southern Jam Fest: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8uRZcKF7l4
He says he likes to run the floor and wants to model his game after John Wall (go figure). The interview somewhat contradicts the article, but it is an older interview from last year I believe. He said something about liking hte big east towards the end of the interview, but in the article he says he likes Turgeon and it would be hard to turn down a MD offer because he has always wanted to go there.
FWIW, he plays on a smaller AAU program so he doesn't have a ton of attention.

Unanswered questions linger for the family of a 15-year-old Savannah teen that disappeared last week.
Now, Savannah-Chatham Metro Police is seeking the public's help. Special Victims Unit detectives have reasons to be concerned about her safety.
Detectives say Kierra Herrington was last seen Thursday at a relative's house on Springhill Road in the Laroche Park, Daffin Heights area wearing a long, blue short-sleeve shirt and flowered pajama shorts without shoes. Detectives believe Herrington could be traveling around Savannah or South Carolina with a teen male driving a white, late model sedan. Anyone with information is asked to call Emergency 911 immediately.

Hong Kong Fun
My company has moved me to Hong Kong for 2 years, and photography has always been a hobby, but since I have extra time, and there is so much to shoot here.
Can anyone push me in the right direction to finding other foreigners in this area to provide some lessons, or go out for some photo-fun.
I found one website www.rowanfoto.000a.biz that does product photography, and has a cool website. Not sure if he provides lessons yet.
I have tried finding others with the same interests on www.asiaxpat.com but it does not seem like hobbies are a big thing in Hong Kong. Everyone seems to be career focused here.
Any input would be great !

Men's cross country selected 10th in A-Sun preseason polls
Last season's improvement for the Dolphins was noticed by the entire league as the JU men's cross country team was selected 10th in the first Atlantic Sun Conference preseason poll.
Kennesaw State took the top spot with 112 points and seven first-place votes, while USC Upstate had 100 points for second place. ETSU (96), Belmont (94) and North Florida (84) made up the rest of the top five. Lipscomb, Mercer, FGCU, Campbell, JU and Stetson rounded out the rest of the poll.
"Our men's program was much improved last season," said JU head coach Ron Grigg. "Our goal is to continue that upward trend. Andrew Maedel will again be our leader and he hopes to atone for an untimely mid-race injury during last year's A-Sun Championship. I look forward to the continued development of a culture and identity for this program."
Maedel leads of group of four returners back with the Dolphins for the 2010 season. As a junior, Maedel was the Dolphins' top finisher in all five meets. He won the JU Short Course Duals with a time of 17:38.2 and placed sixth at the FLRunners.com Invitational with a time of 16:16.22. Maedel battled through a foot injury at the A-Sun Championships to record a time of 29:16.
The Dolphins open the season on Friday, Sept. 3, with the JU Short Course Duals on the JU golf course.

*** This is a FanPost from last summer that I never finished. I happened upon my saved drafts from back when I wrote FanPosts. I also have a very short draft about why I thought DWill needed to be traded that I started about a week before the infamous Chicago game. Still disappointed I didn't get that one done before it all went down. The comments and 180s pulled post-trade would have been classic. Anyway, I thought it was an interesting retrospective piece, despite being incomplete.***
There seem to be 3 camps right now: 1) those who are frustrated/mad, 2) those who think that those who are mad are overreacting and irrational, and 3) those who had/have no expectations and therefore have no feelings either way.
I am in the first camp at this point. I am mad. The basis of this anger is the feeling that the Jazz, being a small market team as they are, need to be more innovative and savvier than other teams. I do not get the impression that they are nor will they be under this front office.
Amar has expressed his disdain for the Jazz shunning the Sloan conference. I think that's only the tip of the iceberg, but I do think it's an indicator.
At the beginning of this past season, I was willing to give Ty the benefit of the doubt. In fact, I was even further than that. I was *expecting* him to correct many of the mistakes he made in his first stint as head coach. I believed that he just needed an offseason to watch film and realize his mistakes:
- I firmly believed that he would realize that Raja Bell had no business starting or playing starters' minutes. I thought Raja would bounce back last year, and he did to some extent, but he still had no business playing more than 20 mins/night.
- I believed he would realize that playing Favors with either Millsap or Jefferson was the optimal front court, bringing the other one off the bench.
- I thought he would play Hayward at the 2 where he'd thrived at the end of the year before.
- I thought he would adjust his attitude about rookies and let them see the floor more if they played well rather than jerking them around like what was done with Hayward in his rookie year.
This is a huge factor in why I'm mad tonight. In fact, I'm madder tonight than last night. I have learned that if you want Ty to play and develop the young guys, then you need to take away the vets he uses as crutches. The young guys will be up for options and extensions soon. The front office can't reliably make decisions and valuations about the young guys if they don't get useful stats.
I don't really care about the Mo Williams trade. At first I was fairly pleased about it. Do I think it helps the team get better? Marginally at best, but I do think it does. Long term though, does it help the Jazz more than buying 2nd round picks and getting Machado and Ware? I don't think it does.
Mo Williams has one year. Devin Harris has one year. Watson has one year. Tinsley has one year. Watson and Tinsley are both old, serviceable backups. Devin Harris and Mo Williams are both expensive, serviceable starters. At the end of next year, the Jazz will most likely either be starting over with a free agent PG (consider the caliber of FAs that are normally attracted to the Jazz), a rookie PG, or re-signing one or more of the 4 for multiple years.
With the current composition of the Jazz, are you really going to tell me that *any* of those guys makes a significant impact over a pre-injury Sundiata Gaines? Are you comfortable with any of those guys running the team in flex sets?
The one glimmer of hope would be Burks learning the role this year and taking it over next year. If this is what happens, I will be ecstatic and eat my words. Can anyone really picture this actually happening though?
After this year, Favors will be making close to Millsap money. In 2 years, Kanter will be right there with him. Jefferson might be untradeable, but there's no way that Millsap is. What are the odds of Millsap being happy coming off the bench? What is the look of the future front court? If they're thinking Millsap and Favors, with Kanter coming off the bench, then I can't say I'm opposed. But shouldn't you find out how good Favors is before he's an RFA?
If Jefferson is on the roster, Ty is going to play him. There's no doubt about it. Jefferson and Millsap will end up with the most minutes this year, barring injury. Favors got a ton of playing time at the beginning of last year, showed major signs of progress, then got shut down. He had 2 games of 38+ minutes, both in the first month of the season. He went 20/11 and 16/12 in those games. He never saw another game of 38+ minutes the rest of the year.
I read a lot of discussion about our expiring contracts being more valuable at the trade deadline. That may be true in terms of what we can get back directly, but definitely less value for clearing out playing time for Favors, Kanter, and Burks. These moves need to be made now or very soon, not at the trade deadline.
Yucca and others have covered the fact that often the best play is to keep your own expiring contracts. If the Jazz can't get value back for Harris and Jefferson, then I totally understand keeping them on board to expire to get the cap space. If they don't have trade worth, then so be it.
However, with Millsap it's the totally opposite situation. You have to move him and get something for him. He is an asset, not a liability. His contract is reasonable, his skills are still improving. I love the guy, but you can't let him walk, nor can you afford to re-sign him.
Here are the questions I ask myself that worry me:
1) How much faith do we have in one of our current guys becoming a superstar?
1b) How much faith do we have that if one of our current young guys becomes a superstar that the Jazz will be able to keep him at the end of his contract?
2) How much faith do we have that KOC will select a future superstar in one of the next 2 drafts?
3) How much faith do we have that the Jazz will be able to attract high quality free agents without paying them above market rate?

No. I just read the charts. No one knows what anything is worth. "Value" is in the eye of the beholder. A stock is worth what the highest bidder will pay for it when somebody offers to sell.
Some charts are no-brainers, but people persist in arguing with them. I don't argue with stocks that are trending after a major breakout. I posted the same chart a month ago and was ridiculed then. I wonder how much those puts are worth now.

Les Kennedy: Got a yarn for you.
The news that highly respected ABC journalist Paul Lockyer died in a helicopter crash with pilot Gary Ticehurst and cameraman John Bean has devastated many Australians familiar with his work.
Coming on the heels of Wednesday's funeral for well-regarded Sydney crime reporter Les Kennedy, I have no doubt it's left a few people in the media and beyond pondering their health and mortality.
More than that, I'd wager there are a couple of journos wondering if their legacy and obituaries would be as shining as the ones left by these two blokes.
Lockyer and Kennedy, from all reports, were very different men, but shared a passion for getting the story, burrowing into the truth of the matter they were investigating and reporting it with integrity.
Listening to Lockyer's grieving colleagues interviewed on Adam Spencer's ABC breakfast show this morning, I felt desperately sad for his friends and family, but then also for the toilers of the world who'll not be remembered so expansively.
Not all of us have high-powered mates in the media who can reminisce about our deeds on the airways, but then not all of us inspire respect, admiration and loyalty like Paul Lockyer - and Les Kennedy - did.
It brought home to me once again that the little choices we make along the road of life eventually add up to who we are, and subsequently how we'll be remembered.
Listening to Ray Martin talk about Lockyer this morning - how his friend had given up drinking and "looked 45 instead of 61", it also struck me that the personal decisions we make about our health and well-being can be just as important as any we make about our careers.
Kennedy fought his battles with the drink and there's little doubt he'd have lasted longer than his 53 years if he'd been a more temperate person.
Tragically, for Lockyer, Ticehurst and Bean, all the right decisions in the world could not compete against fate.
I reckon most of us would like our obituaries to be positive affairs and not be filled with hoary cliches such as "he was a man of large appetites" (i.e. obese and/or alcoholic), "he was not always an easy man to live with" (he beat his missus) or "he was a free-spirit" (couldn't hold down a job to save himself).
As I've written before, every day we make choices about who we are, but often don't realise it.
We get out of bed early or 10 minutes too late, so we're rushed and our shirt is unironed and we look like a homesless person.
We smile at strangers or not, lose our tempers or control ourselves, cheat on our wives or remain faithful, keep promises or never turn up when we say we will.
This is who we are.
I reckon a lot of people spend more time thinking about if they'll become a vegetarian than they do about fidelity, honesty and integrity, and these virtues (or lack there of) are what we'll be reading about in their obituaries, not how their hair looked or what sort of car they drove.
It's not a bad thing to think of now and then as you consider betrayal, illegality, immorality or some other questionable action: how will I be remembered - and would I really want that on my tombstone?

Thank you very much for your quickly support. Very great work guys. Gilberto Italy
Thank you a lot for your feedback. Really appreciate it.
The blanco theme is wonderful, really professional and functional . The only thing that makes it to loose the battle with its competitor are its tutorial , the famous "how to do", is really poor and not very explanatory.If you have a question its developers replies really fast, however in a manner which is not very clear for someone who doesn't understand about shortcode,HTML, shortlink etc. The tutorial should have a video version detailed, explaining step by step, how to make the site as the demo it is.That's the only thing which the blanco theme needs to becomes the best theme ever.
Thank you for your suggestions, will try to improve our services. As for step by step explanation, address our support.8theme.com.
How to do do the following things( step by step explanation , please)
1) Simple Installation ( the small images below the slide on the home page) 2)Featured products 3)Latest Products 4)Promo Banner(the Larger One above the products images on the products page) 5)Promo banner on the sidebar 6) the promo banner on the singular products page 7) Custom tab for all products
Hey. Very sorry if this has been answered already!
I'm using woocommerce and wondered if there was a way to have a drop down product selection. I.e a product page with shoes & a drop down list to select different sizes which then when you 'add to basket' it uses the pre-selected size as an 'information' field. This would be perfect & can be done across any platform..this would then be viewed in the 'orders' tab in Wordpress.
If this isn't possible, can it be a development please?
Thanks Darren
You can use Woocommerce Layered Nav widget at the Product Page sidebar, which shows a custom attribute in a widget which lets you narrow down the list of products when viewing product categories.
Three days and still no response to my e-mail…I have multiple wordpress themes (all very good support) but this response time is really bad
Homepage Banners And Products Slider – to top
To add banners on the home page (as on demo) you need to add the following HTML code:? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 [etheme_btn title="Shop Now" url="test_url" class="active"] [etheme_btn title="Shop Now" url="test_url" class="active"]
You may add short codes, to create new banners, in Admin Panel go to
>Pages>Home Page.
wow incredible work!!! i'll buy it! but i'd like know if it's compatible with plugin how qTranslator or WpML…. Thanks

Please kindly give the advice on one problem:
Products Images show in different way. On localhost site, When I click Picture thumnail , i will get a refreshed window with full-sized picture. Which is different from
what shows in your demo site. Cound you advise how to settle it or which Plugin to use etc. In fact , I am not sure if it is thame matter or ecommerce plugin matter.

I would like to know how to do the same, as I cannot find these details anywhere on the site or the instructions?
hey ive downloaded the theme, it looks great i was just wondering two things.
- on mobile the main product image on the product page is too big for the screen, it doesn't resize. is there a fix for this.
- how do i get the review stars to show next to the product on the product page?
Hi! Is there a way to turn off the mobile responsive version? I think the full site will look fine on iphone? What do you advise?
Hi regarding my question above on shutting off Mobile Version, can you please be specific on what to delete if it involves the Css "Media queries" section because there is quite a bit of code sections below it and I need to know where to stop deleting. Thanks very much!!
If you want to switch off the responsiveness, you may try to comment (not delete)in style.css in the line 3573 everything that is going AFTER stroke Media Queries.
is it possible to make a slider clickable to a page of the shop? with layerslider in use? cant find the option.
O and another thing. How to make select country a non an clickable option at the checkout page. this changes also the prices and its weard that its optional. see screenshot it in dutch btw. http://tinypic.com/r/2114e20/6
Per – Yes, It works perfectly with Yoast!
"appmakers Hi, Do this theme support Yoast SEO plugin? Thanks! /Per"
Thanks for checking it!
Love the theme. Great potential. Building out for a client here: http://garadanielle.com.previewdns.com
My Bestsellers and Latest Products were loading on the home page, but after a certain number of New products, both categories reduced to just one.
Potential bug? Or did I turn something off in products and not realize it? Is there a way to indicate qty of products using the etheme shortcode? [etheme bestsellers product="8"]
How does this get resolved? Your demo shows a bunch there. And clearly it worked for the first 3 products in each category! HELP!
It looks like you use incorrect shortcode. THe correct one for bestsellers is [etheme_bestsellers] and for new [etheme_new].
Nope, I have the write shortcode there. I was giving you an example to determine if that's how I get the Number of Best Sellers or Latest products to show!! Appreciate your help. [wpsc_products category_id='20' number_per_page='3']
title="Latest Products" ]
On your page (http://8theme.com/demo/blanco-wp/?wpsc-product=super-pidgak-duplicate) if you hover over the product image you get a larger preview (Mine does not), also by clicking the thumbnails under the main product image yours changes the larger image ( Mine doesn't).
I think I have a jquery clash somewhere?! When I click on a small product image expecting the large to change what I get is the image on its own in a blank web page?
Im running latest WP and your latest theme… Was working fine until I removed an old theme of yours and replaced with the latest download.
Please help…
Yes, most likely you have some js issue. Please, make request via our support form: support.8theme.com
Hi you recently responded on how to disable responsiveness by "comment" everything after "stroke media queries" on line 3573 of CSS file
But as you can see line 3573 below does not appear correct? margin:15px 0; font-size:12px; here is Line 3573; border-top:1px solid #efefef;
Can you let me know where to place the comment and example of how its written.. Thanks! ps I sent you guys an email as well, because I need this fixed asap.
You could use search in your style.css file and find "Media Queries" string.

The fight for more flights
In the latest row over air capacity in the South, the former Environment Minister, has goaded David Cameron, by asking if he was "man or mouse." Tim Yeo has urged the Prime Minister to approve expansion at Heathrow.
He insists the environmental objections to a third runway are disappearing. He also claimed backing the move would give the Government a "sense of mission".
But the scheme remains a controversial one - with Conservative London Mayor Boris Johnson also opposing a third runway. Instead, he continues to push for a new airport in the Thames Estuary.
Transport Secretary Justine Greening told the BBC Radio 4 Today Programme it "would be difficult" for her to sit on a Cabinet that supported a third runway at Heathrow Airport.

ATHLETICS: Edwards dubbed 'Godfather of Marathon Running after completing his quest (From Wilts and Gloucestershire Standard)

Moreton's Edwards beats the world as he completes 500 sub-3hr 30min marathons
5:00pm Wednesday 14th November 2012 in Sport By Danny Hall, Sports Editor
STEVE EDWARDS has completed his insane, inspiring and rather incredible odyssey.
Thirty one years ago, an 18-year-old Edwards ran in the Coventry Marathon – his first. He said 'never again'.
On Sunday at Caldecotte Lake in Milton Keynes – two weeks ahead of his 50th birthday – he ran in his 577th.
More importantly, it was a 500th inside his target time of 3hr 30min, a feat no one else on the planet has come close to achieving.
Happily, he was surrounded by family and friends – as well as some 150 supporters, many of whom were running colleagues from Bourton Roadrunners, the 100 Marathon Club and the Brathay 10-in-10 Club.
And still they found the Moreton-in-Marsh athlete hard to beat as he raced home in third place overall in 3hr 14min.
The Fox@40 Marathon race director David Bayley had the nous to mark the occasion, dubbing Edwards the 'The Godfather' of marathon running. Every runner's vest on the day bore that legend.
Then they all jogged over to the Caldecotte Arms to celebrate Steve's remarkable feat – with some appropriate cake.
The Godfather is also a grandfather. His son Jason and daughter-in-law were on hand as were Steve's three grandchildren, finding out for the first time just what granddad gets up to most weekends.
A far more regular spectator was Steve's wife Teresa, without whose love and support this great sporting quest would never have got past the start line.
It has taken Steve to 31 countries around the world, 60 counties in the UK and a total of more than 15,000 miles in races alone at the equivalent of one race every 15 days for the last 24 years.
Yes, one marathon every 15 days for the last 24 years. Steve Edwards, endurance runner extraordinaire, we salute you.
"No marathon is easy, but some are less intensive than others and that was the case this time," said Steve.
"I felt my eyes welling up with the emotion of it all in the final mile and I sank to my knees when I crossed the line.
"It has been incredibly hard work, but I have a tried and tested schedule and the key to the longevity is good nutrition and good all round fitness.
"Running is a great sport and a great way of life. I still get a lot out of it – I still get the buzz.
"I owe a lot of people. Colleagues at my three running clubs – my extra family I call them. Then there is Team Mannatech Real Nutrition and Sub Sports Performance Clothing.
"And, of course, my wife Teresa. We are very much a team and I am very lucky to have met her."
Remarkably, Steve's only serious injury in those 31 years was a stress fracture which stopped him competing for six months. And he has finished every one of the 577 marathons he has started.
"I have developed a very strong mental discipline," he said. "It is why I have been able to be so consistent with my times."
Steve allowed himself the luxury of a day off on Monday, but cycled to work – he's an IT manager at Campden BRI in Chipping Campden – and went for a customary lunchtime training run on Tuesday.
After all, he has a marathon to run in Luton next week and then some soul searching about what might be his next challenge.
"I know age is going to catch up with me," he said, "but for the moment running is my lifestyle."

Last year around this time, we were greeted with the news that Peyton Manning needed knee surgery. The surgery, and the recovery time after wards, hurt Indy's chances to win games early in the 2008 season. The Colts started 4-4. When Manning got better, they finished 8-0.
This year, it seems the surprise injury of the off-season award goes to Adam Vinatieri.
Adam had hip surgery today, performed by the same guy who worked on noted baseball cheater Alex Roidriguez. It took A-Fraud two months to recover from his surgery. So, there is hope Vinatieri will be OK in time for training camp.
The Colts released a two paragraph statement on Vinatieir's condition. It's been a nagging problem. Just like past situations with the Colts in regards to injuries, I trust nothing that comes out of West 56th Street. Nothing. If they say he will be available for the start of the season, I will remain skeptical. Rookie Pat McAfee is the only other kicker on the roster, but he was drafted primarily to punt.
Tip to peytonsthebest.

Too often played as a weak character, Desdemona defies her father "But here's my husband, And so much duty as my mother showed To you, preferring you before her father, So much I challenge that I may profess Due to the Moor my lord" (Act 1 Scene 3, Line 184-188).
This demonstrates her strength and her bravery, her father appears to be a very controlling man but she stands up to him. It is revealed that he has previously warned Roderigo off his daughter "My daughter is not for thee" (Act 1 Scene 1, Line 99) and she takes control so that he is unable to speak for her.
Desdemona and Othello
In marrying a black man, Desdemona also flies in the face of convention and unapologetically faces criticism for her bold choice.
As Othello explains, it is Desdemona who pursued him she fell in love with his stories of valour; "These things to hear would Desdemona seriously incline" (Act 1 Scene 3, Line 145). This also shows that she is not a submissive, passive character in that she decided she wanted him and she pursued him.
Desdemona, unlike her husband, is not insecure, even when called a 'whore' she remains loyal to him and resolves to love him despite his misunderstanding of her; she is resolute and tenacious in the face of adversity.
On the subject of her relationship with Othello, Desdemona says:
That I did love the Moor to live with him,
My downright violence and storm of fortunes
May trumpet to the world: my heart's subdued
Even to the very quality of my lord:
I saw Othello's visage in his mind,
And to his honour and his valiant parts
Did I my soul and fortunes consecrate.
So that, dear lords, if I be left behind,
A moth of peace, and he go to the war,
The rites for which I love him are bereft me,
And I a heavy interim shall support
By his dear absence. Let me go with him.
Desdemona's Tenacity
Her tenacity partly serves as her downfall; she continues to champion Cassio's cause even when she knows this may cause problems for her. When she wrongly believes him to be dead, she openly weeps for him as she clearly sets out she has nothing to be ashamed of "I never did Offend you in my life, never loved Cassio" (Act 5 Scene 2, Line 63-64).
Desdemona's love for Othello is un-waning "My love doth so approve him That even his stubbornness, his checks, his frowns – Prithee unpin me – have grace and favour in them" (Act 4 Scene 3, Line 18-20). She bids Othello to do the sensible thing and ask Cassio how he obtained the handkerchief but this is too rational for Othello who has already ordered his murder. Even as Desdemona faces death, she asks Emilia to commend her to her 'kind lord'. She remains in love with him knowing that he is responsible for her death.
Desdemona is one of the only characters early in play, who stands up to Iago; O fie upon thee slanderer" (Act 2 Scene 1, Line 116). She is astute and bold.
Othello Analysis
Othello's ability to impress is identified when he explains to Brabanzio how Desdemona fell in love with him. So impressed was she with his stories of world travel and bravery that it was she, who instigated their relationship.
She, having the choice of many a more suitable match, chooses a man because of his boldness despite his racial difference. It could be argued that she loved him because of his racial difference if she meant to shock her father?

Q&A with Natalie Taylor, Author of Signs of Life
Writing in Real Time
I really enjoyed how you chose to write Signs of Life not as a reflection on your life, but in "real-time," with each chapter capturing exactly what you were thinking at that specific moment in time. Why was this important to you?
Grief is this really intense emotion. It makes you angry toward the people you should love, and it draws you to the strangest of characters. I wanted the book to be stories from the front line, when the experiences were immediate and real. In the end, I realized that nothing I was feeling was crazy. I'm not proud of everything I thought or did, but I'm certainly not ashamed.
Editing the book was like talking to my former self, and I was able to see how far I'd come. People would always tell that time would help me heal, but like most people close to a tragedy, I absolutely did not believe that anything, even time, could heal me. But the editing process helped me see that I really was healing. It was hard to mark my own growth -- it wasn't like a physical injury; I couldn't constantly assess how much I'd healed. So rereading journal entries and realizing how I'd changed over time was huge. It was proof that I was actually moving forward.
One of my favorite aspects of the book was the connection you made to the literature you were teaching in your high-school English classes.
People ask me, "Did you really have to force that part?" But from the bottom of my heart, I think about these books all the time. It was really natural for me to compare myself to these really tragic literary figures. I just felt like we had so much in common.
I've always loved books, but after my husband passed away, I felt like I was reading some of these stories for the first time. Take The Great Gatsby, for instance. I used to think, "Gatsby is nuts! He doesn't understand the laws of physics -- he can't turn back time!" But after reading it again, after having lost someone, I felt more like we were in the same boat.
Why do you think people should read?
Sharing stories is really important. I even think it's how we can achieve world peace. Take The Grapes of Wrath. I think every American citizen should read this book just to get perspective on what it's like to be poor and struggling to find work. Reading is the best way to learn about people from all walks of life. It helps develop a sense of human empathy and compassion.
What do you hope Kai takes awake from your book when he reads it one day?
I hope Kai knows how many people worked so hard to make this a beautiful world for him. How many people rallied to make sure that he's taken care of. People from all over the world did everything they could to give Kai the best place we could create without his dad. He's spoiled rotten.
And what do you want women who read the book today to take away from it?
We all deal with dark places in our lives at some point or another, but as long as we use our resources, we can get out. I would have disagreed with that four years ago. I thought my life was over. But now I know that it never has to be over if you don't want it to be. I want people to know there's hope in really bad situations.
Also, though the premise of the book is sad, I don't think it's a sad story. I never know how to explain that the book is funny. There are a lot of terrific people to meet in the book, and there's a lot of humor in this dark situation. People always say, "I don't want to tell you that I laughed and I cried at the same time, but I did!" And that's a wonderful thing to hear.

By LORI A. CARTER
The Petaluma City Council unanimously voted Monday to broaden citywide restrictions on smoking to include private living spaces, medical marijuana and electronic cigarettes.
Most restrictions will take effect in a month in public places, such as bus stops, outdoor dining areas, city parking lots and commercial sidewalks.
The restrictions covering private living quarters will be phased in. In existing apartments, duplexes and condos — any housing with at least one shared wall — smoking will be prohibited beginning Dec. 16 to allow for leases to expire and to be changed. New multi-family housing units must be smoke-free by July 16.
Monday's action was a second-reading of the ordinance, usually capped by a pro forma vote with little dialogue.
But questions had been raised since last month's initial discussion, mostly about the inclusion of electronic cigarettes. No objections to regulating medical marijuana use were raised at either meeting.
Petaluma's ordinance was the result of efforts by the American Lung Association and other health groups to protect nonsmokers from exposure to carcinogenic second-hand smoke.
Police Chief Pat Williams and Pam Granger of the Lung Association urged the council to treat e-cigarettes the same as regular cigarette smoke.
An e-cigarette consists of a battery, a heating element and a cartridge that contains a liquid suspension with nicotine. When a user inhales from the cartridge, the liquid is heated and a vapor is emitted. The devices often look like a cigarette or pen.
The federal Food and Drug Administration doesn't regulate e-cigarettes that aren't marketed as smoking-cessation aids. Because the safety of e-cigarettes hasn't been fully studied, it is unknown how much nicotine or other potentially harmful chemicals is being inhaled during use or expressed as vapor that could affect someone else.
With a lack of definitive studies, the council decided to restrict the devices.
"We're going on what the best available science is right now for us," Councilman Gabe Kearney said, who said he would be "more than willing to remove" the ban if studies later show e-cigarettes to be safe.
For Mayor David Glass, the issue was personal.
"I just finished 16 months of treatments for bladder cancer," he said. "And the doctor says there's a very good chance it was caused by second-hand smoke."
Glass and Kearney joined Mike Healy, Teresa Barrett, Mike Harris, Chris Albertson and new Councilwoman Kathy Miller in voting for the restrictions.

This isn't about smoking but more about fundamental freedoms that are being taken away by neo nazis. what's next ? you can't have a pirate flag on your house, or paint it pink ?
keep it up people!
Why the ban on e-cigarettes? Because it looks like second smoke? Is that going to lead to something that looks like cancer?
This is insane. They say they want to stop second-hand smoke, so what do they do? They ban something that helps people quit, and saves lives, out of ignorant fear.
All the "best science" available shows that there is nothing harmful in exhaled e-cigarette vapor. By banning them in private homes, all they've done is shown they care more about keeping up the appearance of wanting to save people's lives than to actually help save them.
You could, as long as it did not cause any potential damage to anyone around you, or the air, or affected the environment in any way or even worse, your neighbor. There doesn't have to be any proof that your combustion would hurt anyone, we are okay with making assumptions here in Petaluma, we don't need facts or proof to make decisions. So go head and combust, just make sure we know who blame, we can't have you leaving us with no one to point the finger at.
The way I see it is this– If I smoke in my own bedroom the Dems are controlling me, If I have sex the Repubs want to control me.
Stay out of my bedroom, all of you. Leave me alone !!! Leave everyone alone, you Nazi's.
When does the " Report Your Neighbor" for profit come into effect ? The normal 'nosy neighbors' now have Police Powers.
Yes, the Police will get you for smoking. Make EVERYTHING illegal and fine us.
I thought the nanny state had it covered with our mandatory seat belts and helmets, but the nanny now wants us to not smoke at bus stops or parking lots. I'll bet the Petaluma City council people then went out after voting and fired up their vehicles, spewing exhaust all the way home. Have you ever heard of anyone locking himself in the garage and smoking himself to death? Well, don't try that with a car in the garage, or you'll be dead before the car runs out of gas. I don't smoke any more, but do enjoy the electronic "cigarette", a misnomer, because there is no smoke, only steam. The ninnies in Petaluma also outlawed these, I suppose they're too dumb to know the difference. When I did quit cigarettes, the first thing I noticed was the strong smell of car exhaust just about everywhere I went. Diesel is even worse. We have air pollution, light pollution (for us amateur astronomers) sound pollution and politician pollution. The politicians are the most offensive, in my view. Now that smokers are in the minority, lets stamp them out! Democracy is overrated. It's 3 wolves and a chicken voting on what's for dinner.
80 years ago , when I was 10, every grammar school child, knew that cigarettes were dangerous and were , in fact, called "coffin nails" , but that never stopped them from trying to smoke!
Perhaps the solution is to put a tax on smoking that would only go to a fund to treat lung cancer!
You charge them 10cents a pack, or what ever is needed, to fund a program to pay for the cost of treatment or funeral for smokers.
I was one of 6 children and only the non-smokers lived to be over 90 years old! 3 of them died young!
I think the city should ban the sale of cigarettes. So should the state and the Federal government. This would be a move in line with the Obama Administration's health initiatives.
Oh wait, then there would be $18+ billion dollars less in tax revenue. Guess they'll keep talking out of both sides of their mouths. Business as usual.
"Because the safety of e-cigarettes hasn't been fully studied, it is unknown how much nicotine or other potentially harmful chemicals is being inhaled during use or expressed as vapor that could affect someone else"
"We're going on what the best available science is right now for us,"
I see, so now the _lack_ of evidence justifies curtailment of liberty.
"I just finished 16 months of treatments for bladder cancer," he said. "And the doctor says there's a very good chance it was caused by second-hand smoke."
See comment above.
Good-bye sweet America
For Mayor David Glass, the issue was personal.
"I just finished 16 months of treatments for bladder cancer," he said. "And the doctor says there's a very good chance it was caused by second-hand smoke."
Really? By someone blowing smoke up what?
The council has far, far weightier issues to take up. And out new police chief, who I was willing to give the benefit of the doubt to, seems to think this a large enough scale public safety issue that it warrants using the police power in this intrusive, privacy destroying way?
It's not going to be funny when the flight begins and the only thing left in town is city employees, politicians and people who don't pay taxes.
So if I suffered from Spontaneous Human Combustion I couldn't live in Petaluma, right??

What are The Pros doing in the Market? Each quarter I like to interview with a fund manager who I think has his pulse on what's happening in the energy markets.
Today I'm sharing an interview with Martin Pelletier, one of the principals at TriVest Wealth Counsel in Calgary. I only have to manage risk for one person; me. They have to manage risk for a large number of clients which makes their take on the energy markets a bit different than mine.
Keith: Martin, you're on the record recently as saying it's time to take some profits on the energy sector - can you give us some colour on that? Like, do you keep a disciplined selling strategy? Do you have certain numbers and metrics you go by to do that?
Martin: For sure. One thing I look at is what commodity price is being discounted in stocks and

When B.J. Penn exploded onto the mixed martial arts (MMA) scene, "The Prodigy" was a quickly given and just as apt moniker. Debuting in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) rather than paying his dues on the regional circuit, the highly decorated and even more highly touted Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) specialist scored three first round stoppages to earn himself a shot at the lightweight title wrapped around Jen Pulver's waist.
The fight was a classic. The two 155-pounders were the first in their weight class to headline a UFC pay-per-view (PPV) and while the lightweights didn't gain a foothold in the promotion until several years later, they are now a viable moneymaker thanks in part to Penn, Frankie Edgar and the current champion Ben Henderson. Early estimates of UFC 144's buyrate, featuring the title showdown between "The Answer" and "Smooth", clock in at nearly 400,000.
Before The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 5, the lowest the reality series dipped was 170-pounds. Welterweight fighters were featured in the second and fourth seasons and Matt Hughes acted as coach in the sophomore year. TUF 5 saw the reemergence of lightweights, both inside the Octagon and out as Pulver and Penn were tapped as coaches.
They were and have been the smallest coaches in TUF history. That is, until this season when bantamweights Dominick Cruz and Urijah Faber take the reins of 16 contestants looking to be the next Ultimate Fighter.
Small as they may be, the 135-pound champion and his challenger can still scrap. At the TUF 5 Finale, Penn and Pulver helped prove the old adage true: it's not the size of the dog in the fight; it's the size of fight in the dog.
Let's take a look back at the lightweight rematch.
They meet in the center of the Octagon and Penn throws a combination which causes his opponent to lose his balance. The Hawaiian continues to swarm, peppering Pulver with hooks and uppercuts. Unrelenting, Penn keeps up the barrage before pushing the former lightweight champion against the cage and then securing a takedown. From there, he lands more punches and elbows on the quickly looking to be overmatched opponent.
Pulver manages to get to his feet but he's immediately slammed back down. In this position, Penn looks to land more ground and pound and "Lil Evil" gives up his back. Penn, the BJJ specialist, slides over for an armbar -- the submission photographed above -- but Pulver is able to escape the hold, turning into his opponent. He also turned right into a triangle choke attempt.
Despite not being the vaunted grappler "The Prodigy" is, Pulver is more than experienced when it comes to avoid submissions having done so for nearly a decade at that point. This attempt is no different. He loosens himself from the position and ends up in Penn's full guard to the roar of the crowd. The Hawaiian avoids most of the offense Pulver throws his way during this time save for a big elbow that catches Penn cleanly.
They're back to their feet and spend the final minute of the opening round clinching, throwing short hooks and uppercuts to the head and knees to the body before breaking and starting all over again. A wild head kick from Pulver whiffs over his opponent's head and the fight looks much different going into the second round as it did early on in the first.
They're back in the center of the cage, picking away at each with single punches. An uppercut from Pulver catches Penn; the Hawaiian throws a right that rattles "Lil Evil." A big left from the former champion is caught by Penn and he uses it to secure a trip takedown, landing in half-guard.
Keeping his head down to avoid punches, Penn throws his own while slowly but deliberately making his way to full mount. From there, Penn brutalizes his opponent with vicious ground and pound. Pulver -- as he did in the first -- gives up his back which leads to even more ground and pound and eventually the end of the fight.
Pulver defended as well and as long as he could but with someone as talented as Penn on your back, defenses will eventually falter. Wrapping his legs around Pulver's body -- and trapping the former champ's left arm as well -- Penn sinks in a rear naked choke and forces his opponent to tap. The submission -- cranked a little longer than it probably should have -- was sweet retribution for the Hilo boy.
As much of victory as it was for Penn, it was also a win for the smaller guys fighting in the UFC. The fifth season of TUF blew the doors open for 155-pounders, an act hoping to be replicated by last season's featherweight and bantamweight cast.
It also helped establish "The Prodigy" as a star. Will the same be said for Cruz come July?

Colton still has Cajon, San Gorgonio and Carter on its football schedule this season, but they'll all be non-league games.
The Yellowjackets are no longer in the San Andreas League and instead will be battling for position in its first season in the Sunkist League.Colton, which struggled to a 3-7 record last season, is still young but looking to step up in a league that has been dominated by Summit and Kaiser.
"I know we're excited going into a new league," said second-year Colton coach Chris Ma'ilo. "It gives us an opportunity for a fresh start.
"You have to look at Summit and Kaiser as the teams to beat. They've kind of owned the league the last few years and Summit's the defending CIF (Eastern Division) champs and the runner-up in 2010, and Kaiser's been in the semis a bunch of times and they're always going to compete.
"It's gonna be interesting; it's gonna be uncharted territory for us."
Colton lost to Summit last year, 35-0, and last played Kaiser in 2009, beating the Cats 14-6.
The Yellowjackets' non-league schedule this season includes former SAL rivals Cajon, San Gorgonio and Carter, after playing Riverside North and Eisenhower the first two weeks.

Every year, every team in the NFL with the exception of the Raiders and Lions have hope for great things from their respective teams. This is true with the Dolphins with the expected leap many expect them to take with key additions such as Karlos Dansby and Brandon Marshall. Our other expectations is that some of our younger players take the next step and step up their game.
So this year, who is on Miami's roster that may be able to step up their game to the next level and become a Pro Bowl player? For the sake of making it easier, we'll exclude those players who have already made the Pro Bowl. This includes Ronnie Brown, Ricky Williams, Jake Long, Yeremiah Bell, Brandon Marshall, and Dan Carpenter.
We had a few players last year such as Lousaka Polite and Randy Starks that deserved to go to the game. I fully expect Polite to again be in the conversation and hopefully be there in Hawaii. Unfortunately, I don't think Starks will be in the mix with his move to NT. I'm not saying I don't think he'll succeed, but I think with other big men like Ngata and Wilfork in the mix, it'd be hard for Starks to get the recognition in his first year as a NT.
The Dolphins fanbase and the front office expect great things from Chad Henne, but can we truly expect him to make the jump to greatness this year? I expect good numbers from Henne, but it would surprise me to see him in Hawaii in February with other high profile QBs in the AFC. It'll be hard to beat out Brady and Peyton Manning. Other players fighting for the third spot will be Big Ben, Schaub, and Rivers. No matter how well Big Ben plays, he may lose votes based on his recent hit to his reputation.
On the offensive line, I would like to imagine Vernon Carey would have a chance since he is one of the most consistent RTs in the conference. The drawback is the Pro Bowl tackles generally all play on the left side of the line. Can Carey beat out Ryan Clady, Joe Thomas, and teammate Jake Long? I didn't think so.
There is too much uncertaintly on the defensive line to really suggest and of the players can make a case for the Pro Bowl. I've detailed the reasons for Starks already. Our linebackers show a lot of potential. We've read how effective Wake was last year when he was rushing the QB, but the questions will linger about his pass coverage ability up until the season arrives. Can Mike Nolan work his magic though like he did for Elvis Dumervil and turn Wake into a pass rushing monster? We all hope so. Possibly a bit of a surprise on here is Karlos Dansby. This is not because talent is a question, but many probably already viewed him as a Pro Bowl player. He's had great seasons with the Cardinals, but none of them ever lead to a Pro Bowl selection. Could his luck turn with a new team in a different conference?
Our secondary is loaded with lots of potential, but we don't even know who will be the starting CBs on the team. Will Allen, prior to his injury, showed the ability of a Pro Bowl player. Can he really come back from a severe injury in one year to show the same ability? Even if he shows he is completely recovered, the front office may prefer to keep the young guys on the field and gain experience. There is no doubt both Sean Smith and Vontae Davis have shown lots of ability, but they both still need to refine their skills. If I had to bet on one of them emerging as a star this year, I'd put my money on Vontae Davis. Smith shows the physical skills, but Davis has more of a nose for the ball when it is in the air.
The other possibility is Brandon Fields. He has improved every year, but Shane Lechler is virtually a lock to return to the Pro Bowl ever year.

Now that there is new leadership in Southaven, the city may receive $850,000 in Mississippi grant money.
The money was frozen last year because of the investigation into Mayor Greg Davis by the state auditor and the Board of Alderman's testimony in the case.
The money was for transportation improvements and the construction of a bike trail.
With the election of Darren Musselwhite and an almost completely new board of alderman, Southaven may now get the money.
MDOT says if there is nothing linking the them to the current investigation, and if the new mayor and alderman show that they can be good stewards of the money, the money will be released.

The night of the endorsement, ABC's David Wright adopted campaign slogans as he enthused about how "today the audacity of hope had its rendezvous with destiny. The Kennedy clan anointed Barack Obama a son of Camelot." NBC's Lee Cowan radiated over how "the endorsement brought the Kennedy mystique to this campaign, not in a whisper, but a roar."
Hume's lead "Grapevine" item on the February 5 Special Report with Brit Hume about the national poll of 1,000 conducted January 30-31 for Washington, DC's Fox station, WTTG-TV, and the Washington Times:
Could Senator Ted Kennedy's endorsement of Barack Obama actually backfire and cost the candidate votes? A new Rasmussen national poll indicates that 34 percent of Democrats surveyed said Kennedy's support would make them less likely to vote for Obama. Thirty-three percent said it had no impact. Only 30 percent said it would make them more likely to support the Illinois Senator.Tuesday's Washington Times article on the survey, "Kennedy delivers little to Obama," by Stephen Dinan.
Now, if you throw in the Republicans and independents with the Democrats, the endorsement looks even more damaging. Forty-six percent of those surveyed said the Kennedy nod makes them less likely to support Obama. Thirty-four percent said it had no impact. Only 16 percent said it made them more likely to vote for Obama.
My January 28 NewsBusters item, "'Mystique' Means 'Audacity of Hope' Has 'Rendezvous with Destiny,'" recounted:
The broadcast network anchors and reporters were almost as giddy as Barack Obama over liberal Democrat Ted Kennedy's endorsement of the presidential candidate. ABC, CBS and NBC all led Monday night with it and ABC's David Wright adopted campaign slogans as he enthused about how "today the audacity of hope had its rendezvous with destiny. The Kennedy clan anointed Barack Obama a son of Camelot." CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric teased, "Passing the torch: Barack Obama is tapped as the candidate to continue the Kennedy legacy." NBC's Lee Cowan, who earlier this month conceded "it's almost hard to remain objective" when covering Obama, showed he also has a soft spot for the Kennedys as he radiated over how "the endorsement brought the Kennedy mystique to this campaign, not in a whisper, but a roar." Viewers then got a soundbite of Kennedy yelling during the event at American University.
With "New Son of Camelot" on screen over video of Obama and Ted Kennedy, Nightline anchor Terry Moran trumpeted the "new son of Camelot. Ted and Caroline Kennedy pass the torch to Barack Obama to carry the legacy of JFK." Moran soon hailed how "the political world was transfixed by the spectacle of the most powerful Democratic family of the 20th century christening a new torch bearer for the 21st." David Wright repeated his "the audacity of hope had its rendezvous with destiny" line before championing the "merging ideals from two different eras" as "Obama is now an adopted son of Camelot."...
