TUF 17 Fighter Uriah Hall Talks About Big KO And Gets An Ice Bath After Training.
This guy is turning into a jone jones i hope not
hey fool jones is the champ so i hope he's got some jones in him
he seems pretty cool to me… tbh i don't think anyone was scoring that round for Adam… Uriah was winning it hands down
Of course the guy you wheel kick into a coma will respect you after
What the hell are you talking about??Jones is the kind of guy who drops Machida on his face after choking him out and needs his coach to tell him to congratulate the other guy.Uriah was really concerened and he wasn't putting a show like Jones would.
He is a fighter.
He actually does something.
We are all a bunch of a holes who can barely type enough to get our poorly reasoned opinions posted.
I like the guy.
But remember I'm an a hole who can barely…
He is still a fighter.
Uriah is talented and smart like Jones, but Jonny could learn a thing or three about respect from Mr. Hall.
If that was "Lala Land", I do not want to see this guy half-serious.
@TheKungFuLowKick-i totally agree
Why after the kick he did a shoryuken pose . He did not see the guy suffering on the ground I said he is another Jones
@coutura he got excited cause he just won the fight…give the guy a break. the second he turned around and saw the guy was snoring he stopped celebrating and his concern was 100% for the downed fighter!
I don't know what to make of this guy, I watched his fight with Weidman and he got totally owned when Weidman put the pressure on him, need to see more fights to judge

You've probably heard that people hate change. Not true. People choose change all the time. What people rebel against is coercion and forced change. What people resist are requests that come from someone who said, "Trust me, it will be a seamless transition," the last time.
What can you do to ease the change when there's a mandate to migrate to new software? You should involve people in planning, mitigate time spend fooling around with the tool, and make it as easy as you can to get people back to being productive at work.
But that's not as easy as it sounds, especially since the people who are receiving this wonderful new software are not like you (and me). Most people who have self-selected into technology careers — the ones writing and rolling out new software — don't mind playing around to learn new software. In fact, we rather enjoy it.
The rest of the world ain't like that.
To most of the world, software is a tool, a means to an end. Anything that forces someone to pay attention to the tool rather than their goal is fodder for frustration. If you're leading a migration project, keep these points in mind:
- Futzing: Poking around and figuring out by trial and error is only fun when it's a choice. Leaving people to learn new software by trial and error experimentation is inefficient and ineffective. Beyond that, it's a pain in the tush.
- Fiddling: Trying out new settings to see how they work is fun, right? Not so much. Suppose you don't know the meaning of all the settings and options, you forgot what you learned last time you had to set up a computer, or you frankly don't care because you just want the dang thing to work. Then fiddling with software settings so it works the way you want feels like being lost in a maze.
- Finding: Where the heck to things go, between one major release and another? Why does new navigation make it impossible to find stuff? I don't know; I do know that the time spent finding items that used to be under one menu and is now three levels down in another is a pain.
Any of these — futzing, fiddling, finding — is enough to cause Frustration. Pile them on, and you have one big #FAIL.
Beyond getting new software on to the computer, we need to focus on ways to minimize tool time and get people comfortable and capable with the new software.
Experiment First
One of the most successful e-commerce sites in the world rolls out new features to their least valuable customers first. That may seem backward, initially; but when you think about it, the decision makes perfect sense.
Each new feature makes it debut where there is least risk of depressing revenue. Engineers study the crap out of each small experiment so they understand the positive, negative, and utterly unintended effects. Then they make refinements until they have the feature ready for prime time. For example, they know that the people who are least likely to spend much money are people who don't have a web cookie on their browser. But they don't try with all the cookie-less people who visit the site. Their first experiments are with fewer than 1% of their least valuable customers.
And you should follow this philosophy in your Windows 7 migration.
Start your roll out with an area that doesn't have first-line contact with customers, high-finance, critical deals, or operations. I do not want to imply that any group is unimportant to a company's viability — but will revenue plummet if human resources, legal, or accounts payable slows down for a few days to learn new software? (You may choose differently if your company is in the middle of a lawsuit or due diligence for a merger. But then, both of those count as critical deals.)
When you do your early experiments, notice what people struggle with, where they get stuck, and what they take to like a duck to water. Notice responses that are unexpected and surprising. Fold all that information into the next rollout round.
Plan Collaboratively
Once you've done a few experiments, you will know more about the problems people are likely to encounter. And you'll have some success stories to share. Now is the time to plan for the big rollout.
Chances are that the demands of the business will not slow down while people learn the new software. New software isn't an exciting new opportunity; it is a stressor. There is no perfect time to transition to new software — but there are worse ones, and those are the ones you want to avoid.
Involve the people who are affected in identifying the least bad times, and schedule installation for least over-lap with periods of high-volume or tight timeframes. People don't resist change, they resist coercion. So let the people who will feel the pain pick the time. They will be more inclined to make things work when they've had a say. Funny that.
Customize and Focus Training
Most people use a fraction of the functions in any piece of software. Some of those functions will be the same across the company. But some of the frequently used features will be unique to a work group. Customize the software training to focus on the features that are relevant to each group. Start with the functions they rely on most, and cover the rest in priority order.
This will help reduce the futzing and finding factor.
Also, tell people what won't change. A colleague told me about a major organizational redesign at a chip company. The lab layout changed, job responsibilities changed, reporting relationships changed. Everything changed, except the color of the static coats worn in the lab. That may seem trivial; to the people experiencing the change, it was their one bit of solid ground.
Leave Some Help Behind
A one-hour overview isn't usually enough to bring people up to speed. Neither is a one-day workshop. People need time and practice to integrate new learning. But don't make them look everything up in the binder, manual, or on-line forum. That's tool time that takes people away from their goals.
A custom cue-card that matches each group's need will reduce futzing and finding.
Better yet, leave a power user behind in the department for a few days to be on-site and available immediately to answer questions, guide, and coach. A power user is the kind of person who can cut the fiddling factor.
The stay-behind-support person can also create Information Radiators to make it easy for people to find answers to their questions. Information Radiators work on two levels. First, a question and solution Information Radiator lets people know they aren't alone in having questions, which makes it easier to speak up rather than struggle on. Second, when questions get answered quickly, the anxiety level goes down. It's even better if someone from within the group can provide the answer. That expands the pool of knowledge and begins to establish confidence that group members can help each other. It also shows they are building proficiency.
Is this more work for the implementation trainers? You bet. But it also means accelerated productivity for the groups who keep the business afloat. And that's what it's all about.
Direct costs of the software conversion are easy to count. Costs of lost productivity are harder to count. The cost of damage to the partnership between business and IT organizations is catastrophic. You can't eliminate the pain of a software conversion; however, you can reduce the time people have to spend futzing, fiddling, and finding. Sure, some people will be frustrated. That's inevitable. But when you focus on the people, you'll avoid the big #FAIL. You may even learn something useful and make some friends along the way.

In addition, revenue and buys were impacted by the timing of our Pay-Per-View distribution in the U.K. as our television partner in that country selected one fewer event in the current quarter for distribution via pay-per-view. On a comparable basis, for the events produced in the quarter, revenue increased approximately 4% as a 3% decline in buys was more than offset by a 7% increase in the average revenue per buy due in part to an increased proportion of buys to view our events in high definition, which generally attracts higher retail prices.

Not that it's ever going to be cold enough to wear any of these things ever again. Maybe I can use them as padding for the beds on my improvised raft-home when the icecaps melt completely and Brooklyn floods over. Gah.
(this ridiculous mild winter is really getting to me. I have reverse SAD; going too long without inclement weather makes me cranky. it's in the 50s today! on january 31! everything is just the worst.)
The herringbone cowl proceeds apace. Irritating as the actual knitting is, it really is gorgeous.
I went ahead and did the sleeves on the Effortless Cardigan before continuing with the body. I'm pretty sure I'm going to run out of yarn, and while I don't care if all of the ribbing is done in a different black yarn, I do care if the sleeves are. So I used one ball for each sleeve and knit down to where the ribbing would start. There was just a little left of each ball, which I tucked up into the sleeves and pinned in place with large stitch holders. I think I have three balls left in addition to the one I'm working on, which will definitely get me to the lower edge, but may not cover all of the deep ribbing at the bottom and along the front edge and around the neck.
This is another project that's not very interesting to work on, but will be a fantastic wardrobe addition. The yarn I'm using, Karabella Frost, is a very soft blend of cashmere, silk, and viscose and has enough weight to it that it drapes beautifully. I've lengthened it by two inches between the waist decreases and increases to accommodate my freakishly long torso, but otherwise am making it exactly as written.
The last active project in my rotation right now, Edith Mildred Ferguson, is kind of the opposite: super fun to work on, but probably won't see a ton of wear. I think complicated cables are pretty much my favorite kind of knitting. They're just so damn satisfying. And cool. But this is going to be a heavy worsted-weight turtleneck, which I don't need very often in the overheated places I spend my time.
Since I took this picture before the weekend, I've gotten up to the armhole bindoff on the front. I don't know that I could recommend the pattern unreservedly — the chart is numbered consecutively and the numbers alternate from the left side to the right side, which in every other pattern everywhere indicates the inclusion of ALL rows, but it in fact only charts right-side rows; also, the side shaping is a little weird, the decreases and increases are set very close together — but for a knitter who is experienced enough to work through the chart issues and redistribute the shaping, I think it makes a really cool sweater. I'm going to add a turtleneck, since that kind of high crew neck doesn't flatter me and I've lengthened the body some and made some technical changes, but the basic garment and the cable placement is unchanged.

Since the Right- Corner position would be the primary focus in the "Free Agencies" period
why not take a shoot at Janoris Jenkins a 5'11, 180 lbs 22 year old. Who was projected to
be a top 10 pick in next years draft. Yes he was kicked of the team due to marijuana related
incidence. Personally i would have a strong at him in the supplemental draft,the eagles have
shown a willingness to take a chance on a player (Mike Vick) far more polarizing and with greater
issues and "Successfully" rehabbed his public image and behavioral issues.
Last Season a similar player by the name of Legarrette Blount was shunned by the media and public
for good reason, for bunching a Boise State player. He went undrafted and signed as a free agent with
the Titans before being cut and eventually landing in Tampa bay where he had a breakout season.
Asante Samuel is 29 and commands a huge salary ..... why not forfeit as high as a 2nd round pick to get
this kid .................

Matt Hughes is easily one of the most recognizable and dominant champions in the sport of mixed martial arts. At age 36, he's racked up an impressive 45 wins in 52 career contests, and he's successfully defended the UFC welterweight title 11 times. Hughes was inducted into the UFC's Hall of Fame at the 2010 UFC Fan Expo due to his long-time service in the world's top mixed martial arts promotion and his laundry list of accomplishments. Unlike most Hall of Famers, however, Hughes isn't ready to slow down and get off the saddle just yet.
Hughes made the case at UFC 117 that he may still have what it takes to compete in the upper echelon of the UFC's 170-pound division. Battling New Jersey's Ricardo Almeida, a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt who entered the contest riding a three-fight winning streak, Hughes overpowered Almeida in the clinch, sank in what many would consider to be a very underutilized choke known in the wrestling community as the "Dave Schultz front headlock choke," and subdued Almeida in mere seconds. It was an impressive performance to say the least, and it proves that Hughes still has a place in choppy waters of the UFC's welterweight division.
Fighters like Rashad Evans call his style "antiquated," and writers like myself believed he was experiencing the inevitable slowdown that age produces. Hughes has acknowledged in the past that he has thought about his physical condition and style in these late years, but Saturday night's performance against Ricardo Almeida certainly didn't prove a continued downward spiral into retirement. On the contrary, Hughes was in better physical condition, fleet-footed enough to evade Almeida's boxing, and slick enough to catch Almeida in a choke that he didn't see coming for even a split second. To top it all off, Hughes powerfully showed that he still had the brute strength to completely incapacitate a grown man in seconds, an attribute that has been connected to him for his entire career.
The performance brings new questions into the discussion of where the UFC welterweight division goes from here. Jon Fitch has obviously solidified himself as the #1 contender following his victory over Thiago Alves, but his next fight really depends on whether his teammate, Josh Koscheck, can defeat Georges St. Pierre in December. Dan Hardy battles Carlos Condit on October 16th, and Martin Kampmann meets UFC newcomer Jake Shields on October 23rd, leaving only a few opponents for Hughes to fight. Dennis Hallman would be the easy choice as the UFC could build it as Hughes wanting to avenge his losses, but that seems rather ridiculous at this point.
The better choice, in my mind, is Mike Swick. Not only has American Kickboxing Academy had a beef with Hughes in the past over potentially ducking the trio of Koscheck, Fitch, and Swick for easier fights, but it's actually a fight that's somewhat compelling. Hughes moves on from dominating Renzo Gracie and his students to demolishing one of AKA's premier fighters? Perhaps.
It's certainly a fight that could get some fair interest from casual fans as well. After all, Hughes, along with a successful fighting career, has had some success in the realm of self-marketing as well. Everybody seemed to love him as much as bandwagon fans loved the Dallas Cowboys in the 90's only five years ago, but much of that changed after his UFC 65 loss to Georges St. Pierre. His coaching stint on The Ultimate Fighter season 6 certainly made him out to be a villain, and he slowly became a man that many fans loved to hate. Fortunately for Hughes, being loved and hated produces interest and bigger paychecks.
I won't say that I'm a huge Matt Hughes fan because I'm not. He comes off as cocky and arrogant most of the time, and I would probably believe it if someone told me Rick "The Model" Martel followed him around spraying "Arrogance" wherever Hughes went. His personality rubs me the wrong way, but that won't take away from the fact that Matt Hughes is a legend of this sport who deserves praise. He's also the epitome of middle America, and I can't hate on the "God fearin' hard workin' combine driver".

Founded in Milan in 1979, the Panino Giusto brand now has a City outpost in the grand Royal Exchange Buildings. Like its siblings in Italy (and Japan), this venue is all about panini – special 'sandwiches' assembled according to a clearly defined 'rule of seven': 70g of freshly sliced meat, 70g of cheese, and 70g of French bread, with vegetables, sauces and oil. Around 15 versions are available, from Washington (Parma ham, goats' cheese, black olive pâté and tomato) to sogno (Bologna sausage, pistachios, brie and Alba truffle oil). Panino's all-day offer kicks off with three riffs on breakfast, while lunch is fleshed out with antipasti, salads and secondi including Fassona burgers, lamb chops with balsamic jelly or smoked swordfish with fennel. Home-baked cakes, pastries and ice creams provide the sweetness, while drinks bring regional Italian wines, Poretti beers and classic aperitifs.
Just opened in the Royal Exchange Building is the new Italian restaurant, Panino Giusto. All the way over from Milan this outlet has been providing the chic Milanese residents excellently source products for over thirty years. Its now opened up in the City and I can definitely see this place doing well where it is, especially with lunchtime trade and those delicious Paninis...

So Indy has released the often injured, 2007 Defensive Player of the Year, Bob Sanders. Sanders couldn't stay healthy for the last three season playing only 9 games, and the Colts couldn't afford to keep investing in the oft-injured safety. At his best he is the second best Safety in the game, at his worse he will make an excellent bridge partner for Kris Jenkins. Huge risk, huge rewards, and what will be the cost, what does everyone think.
The magic question is should we try to sign Bob Sanders?

Dorrellistas: The irritating festering zits on the backside of our football program have done nothing but disgrace our alma mater and prolong the agony of the previous failed regime.
Now is their time to shine.
I invite all Dorrellistas to, for once, do something good and useful for UCLA. To them I say, take the first step in redeeming yourselves by applying the convoluted and false logic you tried to spout here over the years to Duke, where your hero has been spotted on campus.Former UCLA coach Karl Dorrell was on Duke's campus as the Blue Devils' search for a new coach enters its third week.
Dorrell was spotted at about 12:30 p.m. Monday while riding in the passenger seat of a convertible near Cameron Indoor Stadium.
Dorrell surfaced as a possible candidate late last week. Others believed to be under consideration include Vanderbilt's Bobby Johnson, and former East Carolina coach and Boston College assistant Steve Logan.
Perhaps this way we can save some money on the buyout and can then use that money on our next coach. Don't just sulk in the corner. Do something useful for once.

MARBLEHEAD — A Marblehead man identified as a collector of child pornography during a Homeland Security investigation last year was indicted this week on charges that he raped a 6-year-old girl and then posted images of the abuse online.
Raymond DePaula, 39, of 23 Puritan Road, Marblehead, is facing 57 counts that include aggravated and forcible child rape, posing a child in a state of nudity or sexual conduct, possession of child pornography and improper storage of firearms in the indictments, handed up Thursday afternoon by an Essex County grand jury.
DePaula is being held without bail and is expected to be arraigned on the new indictments in Salem Superior Court on July 29, said Steve O'Connell, a spokesman for District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett.
DePaula was charged in August of last year with possessing child pornography and improper storage of a gun collection that included handguns, rifles and shotguns. Shortly after his indictment in that case, he was released on $20,000 bail, which was posted by a family member.
But just over a week later, investigators discovered new images online that showed DePaula engaging in sexual acts with a young girl, police said last month.
DePaula allegedly admitted that the images were of him and a 6-year-old girl, and that they had been taken several years ago. But he claimed that someone must have stolen the memory card from his camera to post the images online, then returned the card to his camera.
Investigators determined that the images were from incidents that had occurred in January 2010, according to the indictments.
Marblehead Police arrested DePaula again, charging him with child rape and possessing child pornography. A Lynn District Court judge last month set bail at $500,000 on the new charge and revoked his bail in the earlier case for 60 days.
More details could emerge during DePaula's arraignment later this month.

Women's Tennis: WVU Concludes Season
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The West Virginia University tennis team finished its spring season after falling, 2-4, to No. 10-seeded St. John's, today, at the 2011 BIG EAST Championships in South Bend, Ind.
WVU concluded its spring season with an overall record of 8-14, while going 4-7 in BIG EAST action after falling to Rutgers and St. John's in the tournament.
"We put ourselves in a position to win, and we did not execute," says coach Tina Samara. "This was the most disappointing loss of the year for us."
The Mountaineers began the match by capturing the doubles point, winning, 8-2, in the No. 1 spot and clinching the point with an 8-0 victory in the No. 3 spot.
St. John's came back to tie the match in the No. 1 spot with a 6-2, 6-2 victory over freshman Melis Tanik, but freshman Mary Chupa regained the lead with a 7-6(3), 6-0 victory in the No. 3 spot.
The Red Storm tied the match for a second time with a 7-6(10), 6-3 victory over freshman Anna Rodionova in the No. 6 spot, then clinched the match after winning two consecutive tiebreakers over sophomore Emily Mathis (4-6, 6-2, 5-7) in the No. 2 spot and junior Veronica Cardenas (6-3, 1-6, 3-6) in the No. 4 spot.
"I hope to see our returning players come back ready to compete," Samara concludes. "We are looking forward to next season and having the four new players that will be joining us."

Hot Press: Beyonce Says Love W/Jay-Z is "Real" Deal, Halle Berry Named "Sexiest Woman Alive," Katy Perry Thugs It Out
Wednesday, Oct 8, 2008 11:08AM
Hot off the press this week Beyonce and Jay-Z find real love, Posh Spice likes being sh*t on, Katy Perry needs a thug in her life and Halle Berry gets crowned the "Sexiest Woman Alive."
Jockin' Jay-Z
The hottest chick in the game has graduated from wearing Hov's chain to donning his five million dollar wedding ring, something Beyoncé has finally gotten around to discussing publicly. Bey previously refused to discuss her relationship with Jay-Z, who she married in a secret ceremony in April but has now opened up about their "real" love in the November issue of Essence where she discusses dealing with the paparazzi, the wedding, the rumored engagement ring, and her real love with Shawn Carter.
In the new issue Beyonce reveals that Jay loves all her "flaws," explaining, "What Jay and I have is real. It's not about the interviews or getting the right photo op. It's real." The 27-year-old singer also revealed she wants to be remembered for changing the world, "I want to be acknowledged as a woman in a very talented group with great harmonies and great songs that made history and changed the culture of women, not only in America but all over the world. A woman who could sing a cappella and write her own songs and produce her own songs."
Rebel Talking... "What Jay and I have is real?" THAT's how she chooses to break her silence??? I hope magazine has some "REAL" quotes and not this "It's real," stuff.
Sh*tty Spice
For those of you who aspire to follow in Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham's fashionable footsteps, you might want to slow your roll before you step in some sh*t.
UK's Closer magazine recently learned that Posh has been indulging in £100 Geisha Facials, using a paste made from nightingale droppings, to combat acne she has suffered since her teens.
Just in case nightingale droppings is too difficult to decipher I'll spell it out in plain English. Posh puts BIRD POOP on her face.
"When Victoria was in Japan recently she was admiring the local women's clear skin and discovered it was down to these facials," a friend told Closer magazine. "She was intrigued and when she got back to the US she found that some New York beauty salons now offer the treatment. She tried it and loved how great her skin looked. She also uses a cream derived from nightingale poo at home."
Rebel Talking... Next time Victoria Beckham starts handing out beauty tips, please pass Poopy Spice the toilet tissue.
Thug Love
"I Kissed A Girl" star Katy Perry graces the cover of the November issue of Blender magazine. In the accompanying article Perry spills the beans about her relationship with rockstar boyfriend, Gym Class Heroes front man Travis McCoy.
"He's thug-nificent," Katy says. "I can't believe I got a thug to commit!" Katy kept it real with the mag though, admitting, "We weren't really together, it was casual. But soulless hooking up didn't seem so hot to me. I always wanted to have a romance. I said "Excuse me, I've been coming to a number of your shows in the greater Los Angeles area for quite some time now. I've been your Penny Lane long enough, and now I want to be your Grace Kelly."
Rebel Talking... Aw Katy kissed a thug and she liked it...
Hot Mama
Halle Berry just got elected "Sexiest Woman Alive" by Esquire magazine. The actress and new mother covers the November "Endorsement Issue."
"I don't know exactly what it means, but being 42 and having just had a baby I think I'll take it," the Oscar winner told the magazine.
Make no mistake about it though, Berry knows plenty about being sexy. "Sexiness is a state of mind -- a comfortable state of being," she says. "It's about loving yourself in your most unlovable moments. I know damned well I am sexier now than I used to be," Berry says of being 42.
Berry also ventured into TMI territory, getting vocal about getting off: "You know the stuff they say about a woman being responsible for her own orgasms? That's all true. And in my case, that makes me responsible for pretty damned good orgasms these days."
Rebel Talking... If sexiness is a state of mind I need to know what Halle has been thinking about.

text: One misstep and you can go from being a genius to average. There's a good line by Forrest Griffin on the thin line that separates genius from madness. There are many people who try and showboat and fail, but Anderson Silva has always been one that has been able to back up his head games with his skills. Against Chris Weidman he played with fire one time too many. It's very amusing though to see people analyze the situation and it's amazing how one loss can impact a whole man's resume of past accomplishments. Had Anderson Silva not gotten caught with the left by Weidman and went on to score a KO of his own in the second round, people would be bowing to the feet of Silva in honor of his genius. He gets tagged and knocked out for the first time ever and he suddenly has become yesterday's news. Jon Jones actually has had the best response to the situation saying that he isn't off the Silva hype train, and knows how great of a fighter he is. But even the greats can go down in flames, and especially if you're tinkering with fire the way that Silva does. But for the bandwagon hoppers, in a few months if Silva regroups and pulls out another jaw dropping trick from his arsenal to win the belt back, you can expect them to ride right back on the Anderson traing.

Purple Samsung Galaxy S III may be heading our way
The Samsung Galaxy S III may soon be receiving a new color option, and not the color people have been asking for. This news comes from EVLeaks, who has been a great and reliable source for leaks in the past. The color will be called "Royal Purple" and it should be making its way to the United States come mid-April. But not only is it a strange color, the release comes just a couple of weeks before the Samsung Galaxy S IV rolls out to the market.

New Air Force Standards Protect Nonreligious Personal Beliefs
Airmen everywhere just received a new foundational regulation for their use – Air Force Instruction 1-1 Air Force Standards. The regulation covers values, conduct, ethics, equal opportunity, and appearance.
This regulation also serves to codify the interim guidance on religious accommodation released in 2000, 2006, and 2011. In particular, this guidance recognizes nonreligious/nontheistic beliefs:
"Leaders at all levels must balance constitutional protections for an individual's free exercise of religion or other personal beliefs and the constitutional prohibition against governmental establishment of religion."
The regulation still only implies chaplain responsibility for those with nontheistic beliefs and promotes the idea of "spirituality" without caveat.
"The Chaplain Corps provides spiritual care and the opportunity for Air Force members and their families to exercise their constitutional right to the free exercise of religion."
This wording is not clear enough to encourage chaplains to reach out to atheists and humanists with the same support they provide Christians, Jews, and even Wiccans.
A technical distinction in the regulation is listed in section 2.12.1: "You should confidently practice your own beliefs while respecting others whose viewpoints differ from your own." This section advises respect for people, not beliefs, a distinction MAAF has strongly advised in training development at the Air Force Academy. We show respect for each other when we are honest about our disagreements.
Freedom of conscience is set aside later in the instruction. The most concerning portion of the regulation involves vague and extreme restrictions that prohibit any internet comments or blog posts "which reasonably can be anticipated, or are intended, to degrade morale, good order, and discipline of any members or units in the U.S. Armed Forces, are Service-discrediting, or would degrade the trust and confidence of the public in the United States Air Force." This essentially means that any Air Force leader can initiate UCMJ action against anyone who posts nearly anything on the internet.
NBC news and other major outlets headlined restrictions on tattoos. This "capstone act" of recently-retired Chief of Staff of the Air Force General Norton Schwartz deserves more focus than tattoos. The regulation builds on prior guidance enforcing government neutrality toward religion. However, NBC also rightfully pointed out the long evangelical history that makes increased controls important:
The conflicts have arisen over military leadership promoting Christian religious meetings through official channels, military courses incorporating Biblical material in coursework, officers trying to convert non-Christians and allegedly favoring "born again" Christians and using Christian doctrine and imagery in logos and official military materials and Christian prayer in official events.
The new AFI 1-1 from the Chief of Staff's office follows from guidance from the Secretary of the Air Force Policy Directive 1 - Air Force Culture, which is a short publication that roots Air Force culture in the Constitution and the Airman's Creed and Air Force Values. The Creed and values promote integrity, service, excellence, and valor. These secular values are and must be shared throughout the Air Force to strengthen the military team. Air Force Values should neither replace one's personal beliefs nor be pushed aside in favor of one's personal beliefs. Rather, one's personal beliefs should provide a strong foundation for professional Air Force values. The protections in the new AFI 1-1 are a step in the direction of religious neutrality in government and equal support for all.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. – Lao Tzu

Apple Imaginary Keynote - products you'd love to buy (and not one iWatch or iGlass among them)
Welcome to my imaginary Apple Keynote. I'm sure you're all very excited to hear about the amazing new products we are bringing to you today, so without further delay, I'd like to introduce our CEO, Tim Cook.
[Audience applause.]
[Introductory guff, boasts about app numbers, app sales, billions of dollars to developers...]
1. The iBook Air
This revolutionary new notebook combines the best attributes of the iPad - amazing screen, true all-day battery life, incredible portability, the many advantages of being always-on and always connected, speed and ease of use - with the best attributes of Apple's beautiful notebooks - the best keyboard and track-pad on the market, and unrivaled good looks.
The iBook Air runs the newest version of the most advanced mobile operating system in the world - iOS 7. That means that from day one it has access to over 350,000 iPad apps from the iPad app store. And we're sure developers will be very eager to start producing many more apps to take advantage of the new features we've included in the iBook Air.
We didn't just take an ordinary notebook and install iOS on it. And we didn't just take an ordinary tablet and install OSX on it. Otherwise we'd be presenting a fundamentally compromised device that offered neither the advantages of a tablet or the advantages of a notebook, while presenting the disadvantages of both.
[Slide shows Surface RT and Pro; audience titters.]
The version of iOS 7 that we've included on the iBook Air is the same iOS 7 as you'll get on your iPads and iPhones when we roll it out next month. That means it is one hundred percent compatible with those devices. But we've also included full trackpad control across all apps, and you also have the option of using our Magic Mouse or Magic Trackpad.
We've included all the file management operations you're used to having on a regular computer, as you can see here, by including our familiar taskbar from OSX. And we've included apps to make file management easier, like Finder from OSX, our new iFiles app which is available across all iOS 7 devices, and AirDrop. The notification center pops in from the right, just like it does on OSX.
iOS 7 for the iBook has been built from the ground up to take full advantage of the iBook hardware and form factor, while maintaining full compatibility with all the amazing apps on our app store.
So what are the hardware specs? I'm glad you asked.
[Audience signals approves of the light humour].
The iBook Air's internals are embedded in solid polycarbonate, which is actually poured around the components in our factories. This is a revolutionary new construction technique that is seen nowhere else in the world. It means we can make the iBook Air incredibly thin - just under 10 millimeters thin when closed, much less than half an inch - while making it incredibly robust and durable. For the first time, we have a notebook computer that is completely waterproof!
[Dunks iBook Air in a clear vat of water; audience gasps].
We have included an amazing Retina display, the same 2048 by 1536 resolution as the Retina iPad, at a 12 inch size that makes sense on a notebook.
[Savvy audience members assume this is a subtle jab at MS Surface].
We have included a beautiful keyboard and multi-touch glass trackpad just like the ones on our MacBook models. The iBook Air uses our newest custom built processor, the A8x, which means it accomplishes tasks two times as fast as our fourth generation iPad, and has four times the graphics processing power, while maintaining incredible power efficiency.
That is why we can offer over twelve hours of battery life across all iBook Air models.
All this, for a starting price of $499, for the 32GB wifi version.
Pre-Orders start this Friday, retail availability in under two weeks. I hope you love this computer as much as we do.
[Massive applause].
2. The Apple iQ
Our second product is a whole new category for us. A digital book. Apple has offered ebooks through its iBook app and iBookstore, and our customers tell us they love them. But they also tell us they want something more from us, a dedicated reading device. And for the first time, we've made one.
We asked modern readers what they wanted from an ebook reader, and they came back to us with three demands:
- First, they said it has to feel like a book. They love the convenience of ebooks, but miss the look and feel of traditional paper books. So we made something that looks and feels like a book. Not by simply copying a paper book, but by taking the things that make a paper book special, and we think, improving on them.
- The second thing people asked for was incredible battery life. They don't want to charge their ebook reader every day, or every week. They want it to last so long that they forget it's an ebook. So we've done that too.
- The third thing they asked for was all the advantages of a modern mobile device - fast speed, a screen that can be read in dark and dim rooms, cloud connectivity - without taking away other advantages like battery life and outdoor readability.
Sounds impossible, right? Not for the amazing engineers we work with at Apple. Here's Bob Mansfield to tell you all about building the iQ.
Thanks Tim.
We built the Apple iQ using the same revolutionary sealed-polymer manufacturing process we used for iBook Air. That means it is totally waterproof, durable, and incredibly thin.
Readers told us they wanted an authentic physical book experience from their ereader, and that's what we've given them. Dual screens, just like a normal book. So you only have to flip half as many pages. Or you can use one page to keep notes, and the other page for reading. If you're a student, you might like to have two different books open at the same time while you're typing on your notebook - probably the new iBook Air, right?
[Laughs all 'round].
With the iQ, you can do all that and more.
The Apple iQ uses edge-to-edge glass, laser micro-etched to give it the texture of paper and reduce reflections. And our new display is built right onto that glass layer, so it looks and feels like you're actually touching the words with your fingers.
In order to bring our customers what they told us they want, the best of physical books combined with the best of ereaders, we couldn't just use existing eInk screens. They're just too slow, too low resolution, have poor contrast, and the new generation with inbuilt lighting have really short battery lives.
That wouldn't do. So we've created our own technology, and we call it the TrueInk screen. So say goodbye to blurry gray eInk text on gray backgrounds. When reading in low light, say goodbye to dull gray fuzzy text on an even duller gray background with a dull grey backlight. Our new TrueInk screen is indistinguishable from printed text, even under a microscope. It really is that good.
Our TrueInk screen doesn't flicker and stutter like regular eInk screens. It has a five times faster refresh rate than competitors, and is up to twenty times more responsive to touch. It automatically adjusts to the ambient light in the room, modifying its back-light and contrast in order to give you crisp and sharp text under any lighting conditions, from full sun to a dark room at night, without being harsh on the eyes, and all while maintaining outstanding battery life, up to 80 hours of normal use. That's enough to last well over a month, even two months, for most readers.
The iQ comes with full access to our iBookstore, with its amazing range of over one million books and counting, and of course it uses iCloud to sync all your bookmarks and notes.
In addition, the iQ can display files from a wide range of compatible file types, straight from the iFiles app and directory on your iPad, iPhone, or computer. That means it works with PDF files, text files, and documents from Pages, Numbers, and all other major office applications, as well as ebooks. And again, you can view one document on this side, and something else over here. Or even take notes on one side while reading on the other. And where do those notes go? They sync straight into the Notes app on your iPad, iPhone, MacBook, or new iBook Air.
[Audience does a little wee].
I know, right? Amazing. I love this new device and take mine everywhere with me.
The iQ will be available in all Apple stores and online from this Friday, for the low price of $199.
[Tim Cook returns to the stage].
Thanks Bob. Well, how about that. Let's give Bob and the iQ an extra round of applause.
The next new product category I'd like to share with you today is...
[Over to you. What would you love for Apple to make, and why would it be amazing and revolutionary?]

Summertime, and the Living Is (Surprisingly) Easy
Long ago, locals struck a deal in the hard-count room at the Stardust to spread disinformation about how hot it gets here. If we didn't, people would figure out just how great our weather really is, and the Valley would be crawling with 4 million faces sucking from Lake Mead's straw, instead of "just" the 2 million we have now. And then we'd really have problems. Read More

Dan Patrick gets the credit for conducting this interview with Baltimore's resident beast, Haloti Ngata. I'll spare the intro since all of us are familiar with the force of nature that sissifies opposing offensive linemen, swallows up tailbacks, and makes quarterbacks cry (yes I'm talking to you Tom "Uggs" Brady) Haloti even has a TD to his credit after signing a record-setting deal this season!
Our superstar DT, NT, DE, TE, and FB shares thoughts ranging from how he feels about playing multiple positions to which QB he loves to hit most, and what he'd do if someone went at his knees (pay close attention pitt trolls). I love his humility almost as much as I love watching him smack around grown men on a weekly basis. Haloti is a gentleman, a scholar-athlete, and the heart of our defense. Take a read and enjoy.

If Pro Sports Went CoEd: Our Fantasy Picks
What would happen if the major sports leagues opened its doors to women athletes? Of course, not every female standout could cut it playing with the big boys, but there are a couple who might at least make intriguing test cases.
And by "test cases" I mean chicks we'd actually pay to watch. Women with that rare combination of athletic skill and sex appeal…
Here are a few who give true meaning to the term Fantasy Picks:
Baseball: Jennie Finch
Trying to hit Finch's blistering fastball is practically impossible from the 43-foot distance of a softball mound, but could she make it work from 60 feet, 6 inches and with a smaller ball?
The effect would probably be similar to the arm action used by sidewinder pitchers – the ball would come out so low that even at a slower speed it's harder for the hitters to pick up.
And if she winds up sucking, well… at least she could distract the hitters.
Soccer: Hope Solo
Soccer is the one sport where you can actually image a woman playing. After all, the biggest thing you need to play is stamina. It doesn't ever get too rough, because the refs call fouls at practically any contact (which is how pretty boys like David Beckham get to thrive).
But Solo is a perfect candidate – as a goalkeeper, she has the skills that transfer without any special needs.
Plus, as the U.S. team's national keeper, she's faced high quality teams and tons of pressure, so stepping in against the weak sisters in the MLS wouldn't really shake her confidence.
Basketball: Sue Bird
Yes, the best players in the WNBA are probably interior players like Candace Parker or Lauren Jackson, but they would get eaten alive by even the worst power forward or center in the league.
No, the kind of player that could actually do something in the NBA would have to be someone with a quick trigger, so she could get up her shot over taller players and utilize screens.
Our vote goes to Sue Bird, the high-scoring guard with the Seattle Storm, who can ball and also isn't too bad to look at.
MMA: Gina Carano
You're not going to throw her in against Brock Lesnar, but wouldn't you be a little intrigued to see "Crush" in the ring against one of the lighter fighters?
The poor sap that drew Carano would be in an unenviable situation – beat up a woman and get ridiculed (Oh, sure, you beat up a chick… what happened, the 9-year-old had homework and couldn't make it?)… or lose to a woman and get laughed out of the sport.
Football: No one
Nope. There isn't a single female pro football player out there right now we think could make it in the NFL, let alone our fantasy team… so instead, consider this an excuse to post pics of the lovely ladies of the Lingerie Football League, groping… I mean tackling… each other.

A rite of spring hits Saturday when the city kicks off Chicago's boating season with the lifting of 27 bridges.
Bridges will rise sequentially every 8 to 12 minutes, from Ashland Avenue on the South Branch of the Chicago River to Lake Shore Drive, to allow recreational boats to access their docks and moorings.
The ritual begins at 8 a.m. Saturday and continues most Saturday and Wednesday mornings through Saturday, June 29th.
In a new twist this year, no bridges will be lifted from April 26 through May 5 due to work on the Wells Street Bridge during that period.

This guy's been operating this stand for 15 years. I've been eating burgers there for 8 years and I'm still not quite sure what a "sex burger" is. I guess at this point it doesn't matter much. They are great though! Tony
Brilliant marketing. Picture yourself stumbling out of the Tambo bar at 3am after hours of flirting, dancing, and drinking with the Tambo 'professionals'. You see a neon sign flashing 'SEX' (which is the only thing on your mind) and stumble toward it. You get a little closer to SEX and then see the rest of it... Sex.... Burger..? Oh. I AM kind of hungry. Burgers sound great!
Classic BLANCA'!

Hello Molly: Cake Smash
Remember sweet baby Molly who we met last year? She just turned ONE!
To celebrate her big birthday, I thought a Cake Smash photo session would be a terrific idea. You get to eat your cake and smash it, too, right?
Little did we know, Molly doesn't like cake all that much....
Still, she was an absolute trooper and did an amazing job!
Happy 1st Birthday Molly!

News: Beyoncé Puts Jay-Z's Blue Ivy Diaper-Changing Prowess On Blast: "He's Very Good" [Video]
Tuesday, Sep 11, 2012 8:48AM
Grammy-winning singer Beyoncé Knowles-Carter recently delved into her love for daughter Blue Ivy and just how much her new bundle of joy means to her.
The 31 year-old superstar also revealed how hands-on her husband Jay-Z gets when it comes to their daughter.
"It just gives you purpose and all of the things my self-esteem was associated with, it's all completely different. I've realized why I was born and more than anything, all of the things I want to pass on to my child and the best way of doing that is not by preaching or telling her, but showing her by example, which is one of the reasons I'm here. I sing nursery rhymes and I'm mommy. Today was the first time she saw me perform in rehearsal. She was very confused. [What nursery songs do I sing?] I make up a lot of crazy, corny songs. I'm not singing it, unless you do 'Single Ladies.' [laughs] [Changing diapers, my husband,] he's very good. I love changing diapers. I love it. I love every moment of it. It's so beautiful. I really do. I love changing diapers. I love it all." (Anderson Live)
Recently, Jay addressed the perception of Blue Ivy only experiencing wealth and not coming up through the same environmental struggles he endured as a child.
At the last minute, I remembered to ask after his family, "Oh, my family's amazing." And the baby? "She's four months." Marcy raised me, and whether right or wrong/Streets gave me all I write in the song. But what will TriBeCa give Blue? "I actually thought about that more before she was born. Once she got here I've been in shock until maybe last week?" Her childhood won't be like his, and this fact he takes in his stride. "We would fight each other. My brother would beat me up," he says, but it was all in preparation for the outside. "I was going to have to fight, I was going to have to go through some things, and they were preparing me." He smiles: "She doesn't have to be tough. She has to love herself, she has to know who she is, she has to be respectful, and be a moral person." It's a new day. (New York Times)
Last week, Hovi and Blue were spotted spending time together on a helicopter.
The '99 Problems' rapper was seen cradling Blue Ivy as they stepped off the helicopter upon their arrival. Jay-Z has been pictured holding his daughter Blue Ivy Carter for the first time in public, as the father and daughter arrived into New York City yesterday (30th August). The 'Young Forever' rapper landed in the Big Apple on Thursday cradling eight month-old Blue Ivy as they left the helicopter dropping them off in the city, as baby Blue wore ear protecting headphones for the trip. Blue Ivy was wearing an all white baby's playsuit for the journey while Jay-Z was in a white t-shirt, green baseball cap and black jeans, with a grey sweater wrapped over his shoulders. (Capital FM)
Recently, former Roc-A-Fella rapper Freeway talked to SOHH about Jigga embracing fatherhood.
"Jay is a good friend of mine and this is like the most happiest I've seen him in a minute, man," Free told SOHH when asked for his reaction to Jigga embracing fatherhood. "He's upbeat, good-spirited, you know what I'm saying? He's just happy to be a father. I've always said he's one of the best to do it, as far as the whole career, the whole family situation. ... He's living the American Dream right now. Much love to him." (SOHH)

Aug 29 2008
Posted by David as Alex Speier, Boston Herald, Hank Hryniewicz, Jeff Horrigan, Rob Bradford, Tony Massarotti
By David Scott
Boston Sports Media Watch
Scott's Shots has confirmed that Boston Herald sportswriter Jeff Horrigan (mostly Red Sox) will be leaving the paper on Septembeer 10. Horrigan confirmed in a Friday phone interview that his wife, Katie, has taken a job as a public health administrator at Children's Hospital in her hometown of Milwaukee.
"This is strictly a lifestyle decision," said the popular, amiable and soft-spoken Horrigan, who has been at the Herald for nine years. "I'm looking in to a non-journalism job in Wisconsin and to be honest, I want to be a better father (to 11-month old, Sadie) and a better husband. It's hard when you're leaving in the morning and Sadie is crying in hysterics, wondering if I'll be gone for another 7 or ten days on the road?"
Horrigan, who is heavily involved in the Hot Stove, Cool Music events confirmed that he is looking into a "non-journalism" job that will utilize his great passion for music. "I follow the music industry as close as the baseball industry," said Horrigan, 45.
The departure from Hank Hryniewicz's staff means the sports desk has now lost Rob Bradford, Tony Massarotti and Horrigan in the course of the Summer.
"Jeff handed in his resignation on Wednesday. He'll be working with us up until Sept. 10," Hank Herald confirmed via email. "We will be filling the vacancy and our search for replacements for Rob Bradford's slot, Tony Massarotti's slot and now Jeff Horrigan's slot continue."
Horrigan echoed the sentiments of Bradford and Massarotti upon their departures from Wingo Way. "The toughest thing is to leave Hank," Horrigan said. "He's a human being, and he sees US (his employees) as people, not cogs in the system. He was kind of laughing when I told him and he said, 'At this point, nothing surprises me anymore.'"
The move will leave Michael Silverman, John Tomase (who is sliding over from the Patriots' beat) and likely Steve Buckley on the Sox beat for the stretch drive and the possible playoffs. Meanwhile, the main competitors at the Boston Globe and upstart WEEI.com are beefing up their Sox coverage as Massarotti adds considerable Sox punch to the Globies and Bradford and Alex Speier give WEEI.com a formidable one-two on Fenway happenings.
Hryniewicz, who seems to thrive on being the scrappy underdog and doing battle with all comers, simply plows ahead.
"It truly means a lot to hear that my staff trusts in me to get things done," said Hank Herald. "I have every confidence that the Herald, and particularly the sports department, will come out of this stronger and will continue to set the standard for sports coverage, analysis and opinion in this sports-crazed city…. and I say sports-crazed in the most positive sense."
• You can not miss this absolutely terrific takedown of Jay Mariotti penned by Roger Ebert. I'm still not hearing any legitimate talk of Mariotti landing in Boston and at this point people just seem to be putting logical old relationships together – none of which would have the cash or resources to afford the widely disliked Mariotti.
David Scott writes from a seaside shanty on the shores of Hull, Mass. and can be reached at shotsATbostonsportsmediaDOTcom.
Scott's first book, with Memphis Coach John Calipari, is scheduled for release in the Fall of 2009.
Red Sox Monster1
Man, Roger Ebert. Who knew!
Ebert himself is a rather cantankerous sort, and I think I recall him being only tepidly sympathetic when partner Gene Siskel succumbed to a long illness. But the irony of one bitter newspaper hack calling out another pretty much speaks volumes about how despised Mariotti is. Where on earth (how on earth?) is Mariotti going to collect a paycheck that comes even remotely close to what the CS-T paid him? I mean, would a Wendy's drive-thru even want someone like him?
I'd think he'll get used in some way by ESPN. He could be shuttled around from the magazine to the website to TV. There are at least a few jerks in Bristol on par with Mariotti, he won't be that out of place.
Lorenzo Giovanni4
Wow – Horrigan too? That hurts. OK, maybe not as much as jumping up on a bike without any seat, BUT IT HURTS.
Absolutely enjoyed the Ebert diss of J-Mart. Well-spoken and truthful from the sage. Best wishes for his health. J-Mart can be an interesting read but there are much better composed and insightful columnists at STMG (Greg Couch for one).

Tyres – Tread Carefully
With extended service intervals on modern cars, checking wear & tear's such as tyres, has become an expected part of the vehicle's owner's responsibility.
Did you know: Under-inflated tyres cost you money?
Your engine uses more power to push a vehicle with soft tyres, causing your fuel consumption bill to increase considerably.
What checks do you need to do to ensure your tyres are safe and legal?
- Tyre pressure should be checked at least once a month.
- Tyres should be kept properly inflated according to the correct tyre pressure for your vehicle.
- Tyre pressure should be checked when the tyre is cool and remember to check the spare as well.
- The Nissan maintenance schedule requires that all Nissan models have tyres rotated every 10,000km (6,000miles). This will extend the life of your tyres.
- Look out for uneven or excessive tread tyre wear.
- Tread dept readings should be taken at three points across the width of each tyre.
- All readings must be more than the 1.6mm tread depth limit to be legal.
Knowing that your brakes are in good working order brings peace of mind.
How do you know if your braking is worn?
If the vehicle is taking longer to stop than normal or if the pedal feels spongy, you should contact your nearest Nissan Dealer immediately.
Ventilation Air Filter (Pollen Filter)
Clean Air, Fresher You !
The ventilation air filter prevents dirt, duct and pollen from entering the air ventilation systh3 of the vehicle. How do you know if the filter is blocking?
- Is your windscreen taking longer to dh3ist? Is your vent airflow restricted? Refer to your Service Schedule to find out the required frequency of necessary replach3ent of the pollen filter.
Air Conditioning
If your vehicle is equipped with Air Conditioning, use it in the winter. It acts as a dehumidifier when warm air is selected leading to a healthier environment within the cabin. It will also quickly clear, fogged up windows in winter weather conditions.
- Air Conditioning needs regular servicing including filters cleaned & gases recharged periodically to maximise performance & comfort.
- Use fuel that is recommended in your Owner's Manual. A lower level octane content will result on poor performance and increased operation costs.
- Do not run the fuel tank too close to h3pty. Sediments can collect at the bottom and condensation build-up could cause problh3s in the fuel.
Engine Oil
Use the correct grade of oil as recommended in the Owners Manual. Don't miss your routine oil changes. Oil is the lifeblood of any engine and good quality oil will offer superior engine protection.
To check the oil level yourself you can use the following guide:
- Park the vehicle on a level surface.
- Allow the engine to warm up.
- Turn the engine off. The will allow the oil to drain back.
- Remove the oil dipstick and clean. Put it back.
- Remove again and check the oil level. It should be between the H and L marks. If the oil level is below the L mark then add the recommended oil as stated in you Owner's Manual.
Wiper Blades
It's an obvious thing to say but it's important to have a clear windscreen when driving. Exposure to sunlight, ozone, oil and dirt all act to cause wiper blade rubber to deteriorate. This results in wiper blade noise, juddering and poor visibility. Therefore regularly check the windscreen wipers and washers are working.
Under the Bonnet
- Check Fluid Levels
- Check radiator for accumulated dirt (insects / leaves).
- Inspect hoses for cracks, deformations or loose connections that might lead to overheating.
- Make sure engine drive belts are not frayed, worn, cracked or oily.
Inside your Nissan
- Check that your seat belts operate smoothly.
- Be sure all gauges (e.g. fuel, oil, etc) indicate normal levels.
- Check brakes for smooth operation – pedals should be firm.
- Check for steering wheel vibration or strange noises. If the vehicle pulls to one side have your tyres and alignment checked by your Nissan Dealer.
- Check the windscreen wipers and washers are working.
- Ensure that air / heat comes out of the defroster outlets properly and at sufficient levels.
- Rh3h3ber clean, cloth polished windows will dh3ist more quickly than hand wiped dirty windows.
Outside Your Nissan
- Inspect tyres for damage, cuts or excessive wear. Test pressure and adjust if necessary and also check for missing or loose wheel nuts.
- Make sure headlights, taillights; brake lights and signal lights operate properly.
To keep your Nissan looking its best we recommend regular polishing and valeting: Ask your local dealer about our range of products.
Regular garage brush washing is not recommended as it can cause some colours to fade. Get your Nissan professionally polished to renew colour protection.

TERRAS: Spirit is key to success for Matthews
5:00am Monday 31st March 2014 in Sport By Dan Rose, Sports Reporter
JASON Matthews claimed the spirit in his Weymouth side at present is the reason for their five-game unbeaten streak.
The Terras have fallen behind in all of their last three league outings but have surged back to take seven points out of a possible nine from losing positions, and currently sit in ninth position in the Southern Premier League table.
Matthews told Echosport: "I feel that the positivity at the club means that we don't roll over and get beaten easily anymore."
After going behind to a Matt Lench goal just past the hour mark, an Isaac Vassell wonder-strike ensured Matthews' men claimed a point against Hitchin Town on Saturday.
On the contest itself, Matthews added: "I wanted three points because we were at home but with the way that the game went, I'll take a point.
"Hitchin set their game plan out and were hard to break down which we keeps seeming to be the case for us at home. They've scored a good goal to be fair to them, but the finish from Isaac was sublime."
On the prospect of offering members of his squad new contracts for next season, he added: "We are very close to nailing on a budget for next year now so I will know what I've got to go with.
"That should be sorted later this week so we will take it on from there."
