Water and land management – progress in greater Christchurch
Water and land management – progress in greater Christchurch
30/04/2012 1:48 p.m.
Addressing Christchurch City Council today, Environment Canterbury Commissioner Peter Skelton outlined the good progress being made towards delivery of the Canterbury Water Management Strategy (CWMS) via regional and local implementation programmes.
The public review phase for the draft regional implementation programme (RIP) has just finished.
The draft Land and Water Regional Plan (LWRP), an important delivery mechanism for the CWMS, is now out for public comment.
The draft Christchurch West Melton and Banks Peninsula zone implementation programmes (ZIPs) are currently being developed and are due for completion by the end of 2012.
The Selwyn Waihora ZIP has been accepted by councils and endorsed by Environment Canterbury.
Final ZIPs will be taken into account in preparing future RIPs. Sub-regional chapters of the LWRP will include policies and rules to help with delivery of zone priorities and collaboratively determined catchment water-quality requirements.
Professor Skelton thanked the local community and tangata whenua for their efforts to date – particularly taking account of earthquake challenges - and emphasised the need for collaborative action, particularly relating to water-quality issues.
He said the Christchurch West Melton sub-regional chapter of the LWRP would contain a number of provisions relating to groundwater. "As well as flow and allocation regimes for the Avon and Heathcote rivers, there will be measures covering the Woolston/Heathcote and Christchurch West Melton groundwater zones.
"Christchurch City will not be subject to water allocation limits if it has a supply strategy and addresses restrictions. There will also be a Christchurch groundwater protection zone and restrictions on certain activities in order to protect water quality."
Turning to the Banks Peninsula zone, Professor Skelton said the relevant LWRP sub-regional chapter would include a list of flow-sensitive catchments. "Over time it will also include additional policies and rules to help with delivery of zone priority outcomes," he said.
In Selwyn Waihora there is also a focus on flow-sensitive catchments and groundwater allocation limits. "Water quality and surface water quantity limits will be introduced in February 2013," Professor Skelton said.
"I'm confident we are well placed to meet the major challenges of the future using the collaborative approach to water and land management that's already proven highly effective in other parts of the Canterbury region," Peter Skelton concluded.

GeForce 9600 GT - Galaxy Silent Heatpipe review -
1 - Silence I kill you !
|GeForce 9600 GT Silent Heatpipe
|SKU code:
|Street price:
Noise always has been an issue with graphics cards. The past few years however manufacturers have put more emphasis on cooling solutions which although are high performance, are also silent. Every now and then however there are some companies out there releasing a product which is also completely passively cooled.
Granted it's a bit of a tradeoff, as when you passively cool a product, you'll need good ventilation in your PC, adding noise again. By definition that does not whave to be a bad thing though. There are situations where passive cooling can be ideal - Home Theater PCs for example. Or even the common desktop PC if you game heavily and you like the lack of noise as much as I do.
Today therefore we test the first in a two-fold of passively cooled GeForce 9600 GT products. This one comes from the lads at Galaxy, and is completely heatpipe based.
But is it any good ? Let's check out Galaxy's offering of the GeForce 9600 GT Silent Heatpipe version.
GALAX is on it again, this time we review their GeForce GTX 970 EXOC edition as in Extreme Overclocked. The product comes factory overclocked with a boost clock of 1317 MHz (!). The product has a cust...

Frost Troll's True Weakness!
Forget fire...use Paralysis! Be sure to play it in 1080p!
Saw a post on Facebook about a friend who has trouble with Frost Trolls. Thought I'd go smash some with high level spells out of revenge.
This was my unexpected result of paralysing one.
Skyrim was running on Ultra, the lowest setting being radial blur on medium, no AA. Kind of explains the slight lag and tiny bit of stutter in the video, sorry about that.
The spell I used was Mass Paralysis.
Thought you guys on FJ could have some fun with this, it might make a good few Gifs or something.

Moscow: UN secretary general on Thursday asked for speedy reforms of the Security Council, saying there was a consensus in the General Assembly on the need to `adjust` this `primary` body to the present day realties.
"The Security Council is the primary body for maintaining global security and it should be adjusted to reflect the present day realities in the World," Ban Ki-moon said in an interview to state-run Rossiya 24 TV.
In response to a question on the enlargement of the UNSC, he said, "The issue has been debated in the UN General Assembly and there is a consensus on reforming the key body so that it reflects the present day reality and becomes an effective mechanism for maintaining security and stability. What we need is to speed up decision on how it has to be done."
Ban is in Moscow on a three-day visit to attend the West Asia `Quartet` meeting here tomorrow, comprising of European Union, Russia, US and the United Nations.
Ban is scheduled to meet Russian President Dmitry Medvedev later today to seek Moscow`s greater involvement in UN peacekeeping efforts. Both the leaders are also likely to discuss the present situation in Afghanistan.

More observations from Day 6 of the Red Wings' prospect camp: the most important check
by George Malik on 07/12/11 at 11:47 PM ET
Comments (10)
In theory, anyway, the Red Wings' prospects who participated in the sixth day of an eight-day marathon that is the team's summer development camp told me that they'd hit their rock bottom in the physical fatigue department either on Sunday or on Monday, when Centre Ice Arena's Huntington Rink got a little soupy in 86-degree weather. As Brian Lashoff told me, Grand Rapids Griffins strength and conditioning coach Aaron Downey and Wings prospect mentor Chris Chelios kicked the players' butts in the gym and the team finally blew off some steam via a team-organized barbecue and beach-front bonding affair on Monday night, so, in theory, the prospects went back to work for their final days of "split sessions" refreshed and recharged.

Red Wings GM Ken Holand's discussion with Chris Osgood set for Thursday evening…or Friday…
by George Malik on 07/12/11 at 07:27 PM ET
Comments (26)
Updated with a bit more from Holland at 7:46 PM: Red Wings GM Ken Holland became a U.S. citizen today, but he did so with one foot out the door. With Jim Nill watching over the prospects in Traverse City, Holland headed to his off-season home in Vernon, British Columbia, where the Macomb Daily's Chuck Pleiness reports that Holland will meet with fellow Vernon off-season resident Chris Osgood to discuss Osgood's future with the team:
"His initial reaction was he wants to play," Holland said in a phone interview Tuesday afternoon. "Now he's gone to Europe and had more time to think. I think the biggest thing is, time has gone by and you really start to decide what your priorities in life really are. I think it's a good time now to sit down with him and talk about it."
The two will meet Thursday night in British Columbia, Canada. Osgood, 38, returned Tuesday from a golf trip in Scotland with a number of his teammates. The trip was a gift they got him for recording his 400th career win last year. Holland said he has been texting back and forth with Osgood since he returned.
"We're going to have a conversation face-to-face," Holland said. "Sometime on Friday or Saturday, after talking to him, I'll probably have a decision on what we're doing."
As we found out on Monday, the Wings decided to bring back Joey MacDonald as the team's #3 goaltender, and as we found out this morning, Tomas Vokoun apparently approached the team before choosing to become the Capitals' #1 goaltender. We know that the Wings have been talking to Ty Conklin as well, but what we don't know—and what Holland doesn't know—is what Osgood wants to do:

Ken Holland had a very important appointment today
by George Malik on 07/12/11 at 05:25 PM ET
Comments (7)
According to the Free Press's Helene St. James, a certain Red Wings general manager was busy doing something not directly related to hockey this afternoon:
Time to send him a voter registration card: Canadian Ken Holland, gainfully employed in the U.S. by the Detroit Red Wings for nearly three decades, is taking the oath to become an American citizen this afternoon. Holland, 55, was born in Vernon, British Columbia. He just finished up his 15th season as general manager of the Wings, a promotion he received in July 1997. Before that, he spent 15 years working his way up from scout to director of amateur scouting to assistant general manager.
Holland will hold dual citizenship, just like former Wings captain Steve Yzerman and longtime goalie Chris Osgood, both of whom also were born in Canada. And Swedish-born forward Tomas Holmstrom is seeking a green card.
Update: Here's MLive's Ansar Khan's report, if you will..

Mid-day observations from Day 6 of the Red Wings' prospect camp and Vokoun stuff: the grind
by George Malik on 07/12/11 at 02:50 PM ET
Comments (14)
The Detroit Red Wings' prospects are doing their absolutely best to keep up with the complexity and high-paced tempo of drills at the Red Wings' summer development camp, but even after a Monday spent off-ice working out and then enjoying a barbecue, jet-skiing and a little "R&R," they returned to Centre Ice Arena to participate in the last three days of on-ice activities, well…
With their butts dragging a bit, which is ironic given that today's drills involved recovering pucks and generating offense on the counterattack, detailed positioning and, in the cases of the skill development coaches, conservation of energy and efficiency via employing proper skating and stickhandling techniques, and of course, a speedy pace of play.

We're on Osgood/Draper watch now

Update: For the record, for those of you who wanted to know, Teemu Pulkkinen is training with Jokerit Helsinki, which is the reason he's not at the Wings' development camp: Thanks to shoving most of the "evening" and "overnight" news in my late-evening missive, this morning's crop of Red Wings-related stories is a little sparse, but they reinforce a bottom line: the Red Wings organization and Red Wings fans are going to be dealing with some "heavy" news in short order as Ken Holland will speak to Chris Osgood and Kris Draper this week to gauge the veterans' physical conditioning and emotional reserves before deciding whether to part ways with the pair almost eighteen years after their NHL careers began.
That process began to reach its final stages as the Wings re-signed Joey MacDonald to a 2-year contract worth $550,000 at the NHL level and $105,000 at the AHL level, with the contract becoming a one-way, NHL-salary-only deal for the 2012-2013 season (which means that MacDonald would be subject to re-entry waivers). Holland told the Detroit News's Ted Kulfan that the Wings are happy to have brought back a superb #3 goalie to both spell any injured Wings goalie and serve as a mentor to Thomas McCollum and Jordan Pearce in Grand Rapids:

Red Wings evening report: on Nicklas Lidstrom's Swedishness, Osgood/Draper and Datsyuk's watches

While we've been talking about Chris Osgood's future given that Joey MacDonald's been re-signed today, and we know via the Windsor Star's Jim Parker that we should put ourselves on notice as Ken Holland plans on determining both Osgood and Kris Draper's fates with the team this week, I've been doing…
Let's call it double duty, watching the Red Wings' prospects take part in their summer development camp. The fact that today's on-ice sessions were canceled due to coolant issues with their rink—for the second year in a row—was a relief to the players and allowed me to watch the off-ice drills the players who weren't on the ice were doing while the skaters had my attention, so you can thank a certain Paul Kukla for telling his blogger to stay at the rink instead of heading back to the hotel to nap.

The great Joey MacDonald freak-out clarified: He's not succeeding Osgood as the Red Wings' back-up

Updated 3x with more from Holland and a bit from Joey MacDonald himself at 8:50 PM: This would usually into "unnecessary post" territory, but given that we're talking about Red Wings free agent signings in July and Chris Osgood's future, both KK's comments and Twitter are blowing up like a hot air balloon fueled by a Brian Burke since the Red Wings signed Joey MacDonald to a two-year contract this morning.
Let's clarify the situation: Yes, the Wings signed MacDonald to a 2-year contract worth $550,000 at the NHL level and $105,000 at the AHL level. He is not, however, going to succeed Chris Osgood as Jimmy Howard's back-up. If you don't believe me when I can tell you that Jim Nill informed me MacDonald's, "Just a little insurance policy," here's what GM Ken Holland had to say to the Free Press's Helene St. James about the team's plans for MacDonald…
"He's going to be our third guy," general manager Ken Holland said. "He had some options in Europe, but he wanted to stay in North America. He did a nice job for us when called up. He understands that he'll open the season at the American league level. He's a good veteran."
As well as what Holland told MLive's Ansar Khan: about the goaltender, who Khan reports will earn a one-way contract for the 2012-2013 season:

Impressions from day five of the Red Wings' develompent camp, mid-day news & Datsyuk, watch salesman

Update #2 at 4:24 PM: According to Jim Nill, Teemu Pulkkinen's training with Jokerit Helsinki: At 8:05 this morning, I arrived at Centre Ice Arena and read a message that was eerily similar to something that happened a year ago—the Red Wings' prospects' on-iace activities had been canceled for the day due to issues with the ice. Give or take a day, the same thing happened at Joe Louis Arena thanks to an utterly all-too-predictable Detroit Water and Power line blowing out, necessitating a shift to Detroit's City Sports Arena as the Joe's ice turned to slush.
Here at Centre Ice Arena, they apparently suffered some sort of failure in the cooling system, and while the Red Wings are the Red Wings, the fact that Huntington Rink got goopy and David's Rink was working just fine did not give the Wings precedence regarding the use of a rink that's being used to host girls' hockey tournaments all day long.
So the Wings' staff improvised and chose to do some off-ice sessions, forcing a bleary-eyed blogger to make a decision: do I stay at the rink and hope for something to happen, or do I just go back to the hotel and catch up on some desperately-needed sleep?

A Commodore 64 update and a little dissent
by George Malik on 07/11/11 at 12:47 PM ET
Comments (13)
As noted on Saturday, the Red Wings and equipment manager Paul Boyer are completely fine with new defenseman Mike Commodore, a.k.a. @commie22 on Twitter, may wear the number 64 in tribute to the late 80's computing…erm, kind-of-sort-of-decent machine…if he wishes. Yahoo Sports' Greg "Puck Daddy" Wyshynski has been championing the idea via a charitable drive, and he offers a superb update this morning:
Along with our request for a "COMMODORE 64" jersey came a plea: We'd donate $64 to the charity of Mike's choosing if he wore that sweater with the Wings next season. We mentioned the possibility of Puck Daddy readers matching that pledge, and it's been an honor to witness the response.
(We'd also like to thank the Detroit News and others for giving this story some spotlight. And yes, thanks to The Chief at Abel To Yzerman for his coverage too, the myopic dissent that it was.)
Yeah, about that…

Natural Playground for Preschoolers
The final touches have been put on the natural playground structure for Immanuel Lutheran preschoolers and they have already been putting it through its paces.
The deck, climbing wall and steps are made from white oak, the posts are eastern red cedar, and all of the twisty branches are osage orange. The three species of wood were chosen for their ability to weather the elements, while the white oak and osage orange have the added benefit of being exceptionally strong.
Thanks to the staff at Immanuel for being great hosts. They always greeted me with a smile and sometimes, even with cookies.
Using an Adze to Make a Hand-Hewn Finish on Wood
I was working in the shop last week doing some adze work on a couple of hollow beams and remembered back to my frustrating first days using an adze. I recalled a couple of tips that I wanted to share in this latest Quick Tip video:

Easy Sign, Difficult Customer
At the end of May, my daughter and pickiest customer Mira, turned eight and planned to have a mermaid swimming party at Grandma's house. Grandma has a swimming pool and we knew that she would be willing to heat it for an early-season swim, so it was an easy choice. The difficult part was finding mermaid themed items that met with Mira's approval and weren't for little girls (Ariel, A.K.A. The Little Mermaid, is not cool when you are eight).
While searching for party decorations, my wife, Chris, came across a little sign that she thought was cute and asked if I could make one for the party. It said, "Mermaid Lagoon" and it was pretty simple, and since it was right up my alley, being made of wood and all, I said "Yes".
I dug out some cypress that had lots of knots and a good rustic look and started cutting. I wanted the sign to be bigger (who wouldn't) than the one in the photo, so I cut the boards about two feet long to make the height. I trimmed the ends at random lengths, some at a slight angle, until I had enough to make the sign about three feet wide. It went quick, especially since I had no formal plan. If a board didn't look right, I just trimmed it more or flipped it around or just grabbed another board. I love that kind of woodworking; no tape measure, no pencil, no worries.
After I nailed the boards together, I painted them with a wash of blue/green paint. I already had some bright blue paint in the shop and added green Transtint to get the color right. I thinned the paint down with water and brushed it on as quick as possible. While it was still wet, I wiped it off like it was a stain to show the wood below.
Once the paint was dry, I did the lettering, which I laid out and printed from the computer. I cut out the words with an X-acto knife and used a light coat of Super 77 spray adhesive to hold it in place while I painted it. A light mist of white spray paint did the trick, making the words legible but not too pronounced.
After the sign panel was assembled and painted, I needed to come up with a post. My first attempt was a weathered piece of oak 2″x4″. It had the right look and feel since it was old and gray, but I thought that Mira might not approve since it just looked like an old board, so I continued to search for a better way to display it.
A quick walk to the other end of the shop revealed a piece of driftwood that was perfect. It was the right size and height, and with just a little block added to the bottom, it sat up beautifully crooked. Plus, I wouldn't have to pound it in the concrete-like ground since it would stand up on its own. That piece of white oak driftwood couldn't have worked out better.
All that was left to do was screw the sign to the post, which took a grand total of 30 seconds. If it was going to be for long-term use I would have been more serious about it, but two 3″ deck screws worked just fine and quickly put this job to bed.
I was pleased as punch. I showed it to everyone within shouting distance of the shop and couldn't wait to bring it home and show the girls. They were pleasantly surprised at how it turned out and I was pleasantly surprised that Mira quickly approved it (I was still a bit worried that my unauthorized driftwood addition might have been a bit aggressive in her mind (even though it was perfect)). We capped the whole thing off with hot glue, a few seashells and then perfect weather for a "Mermaid Lagoon" swimming party.
The sign now resides in my shop, where it generates many inquiries, but as of today, no more official orders for driftwood mermaid signs.
How to Make Realistic Worm Holes in Wood
If you want to make something look older, just add some worm holes. Sounds simple enough, but there is a major difference between just poking holes in the wood and making the holes look authentic. Now that the all natural, rustic wood look is in style, even new, or at least not very old wood often benefits from more character, and I am here to show you how to really do it.
First off, let me assure you that I have a lot of experience in this field. I often build pieces that need to be "wormed up" in some regard, either to make new wood look old or to make old wood look even older. Especially on projects like beams and mantels, worm holes help add a lot of age to a piece.
Much of the wood that I use already has worm holes in it because I let the logs sit awhile outside before I mill them into lumber (sometimes even on purpose), so I have a head start, but there will still often be spots without bug holes where the wood needs a little extra love, like in the following video:
To get things started, it helps to first look at truly worm-eaten wood. There are consistencies even in what looks to be very inconsistent patterns. Here are a few principles that hold up in most wormy wood:
1.) Hole sizes vary: Even similar-sized holes are not the same. Your method for creating holes should easily produce random results.
2.) Worms tend to focus their efforts: Holes will usually have an area of focus, with more holes in the center of an infected area fading out to fewer holes.
3.) Not all holes are perpendicular to the surface: While most holes are just that – holes, many are oblong and some are more like trails.
4.) The bugs that make the worm holes often enter around defects in the wood: Soft or punky wood, spalted wood, cracks, and sapwood are all areas that will focus worm activity. Good, strong, solid heartwood is the last area to be bug infested.
5.) Small holes outnumber the big ones: Older wood that has been attacked by multiple insects will have lots of tiny holes (1/16′ diameter), some medium-sized holes (1/8″ diameter), and just a few big holes (up to 1/4″ diameter).
Here are some photos of authentic worm holes. If you can copy any these patterns you will be off to a good start.
Here are some of my tricks for achieving realistic results:
Small holes. You'll be tempted to use a drill bit for the smallest holes, but it isn't the best choice. Tiny drill bits break easy and the size is too consistent. Plus, they pull out wood fibers that make the edge of the holes fuzzy. Instead use a nail or a scratch awl sharpened to a long fine point. A scratch awl is the best choice because it can be used without a hammer and produces speedy results. The long point will make different sized holes depending on how deep it is pushed into the wood. Push the scratch awl in the wood at different angles and different depths.
- Large holes. Use a twist drill bit for the larger holes. Be sure to drill deep enough that you can't see the bottom of the holes and to vary the drill angle. Put the bigger holes in the softer wood. Sapwood, punky wood and areas around defects are a good place to start. Mix up the sizes in the 1/8-3/16″ range for a more natural look.
- Oblong holes. Some of the larger holes tend look like small jelly beans. Drill in fairly deep and then use the side of the drill bit to cut a short trail. The result is similar to two holes drilled right next to each other.
- Trails. Trails are often left just under the bark in bug infested logs and sometimes inside the log. Use a twist drill bit about 1/8-3/16″ in diameter and drag the bit in different lengths of crooked lines. Be sure to make some of the areas have more depth. Think of the trail as a river with shallow areas and deeper pools. Trails can have one, both or none of the ends finishing in a hole. Mix it up and have a few ends disappear into holes made with the same drill bit.
One of the most important things to remember when making worm holes or using any other techniques to age wood is to really go for it. You won't destroy a piece of furniture by adding a few more holes or dents, and you can only miss by doing too little to the surface.
I often see furniture, especially mass-produced furniture, that will have some sort of distressing that looks like it was just phoned in. Usually, someone quickly takes a chain to the surface or pokes a few holes and calls it a day. Don't do that. Pay attention to Mother Nature's work and try to duplicate it. And, most importantly, have fun doing it.
What is Going on at WunderWoods?
On a semi-regular basis I talk to someone who would have used me for their last project, but they didn't because they didn't know everything I do. My woodworking customers don't know I mill lumber, my milling customers don't know I sell lumber, my lumber customers don't know I do custom woodworking, and I blame it all on my inept advertising department.
I am here to change all of that with a new video that shows what is really happening at WunderWoods (when I am working). With the help of a few of my customers, I have put together a montage of the goings on in a three-week span of my daily work life. The clips are chronological in order, but random in their approach. One day I cut a tree, the next day I finish a piece of furniture – just like real life.
The bottom line is that if it involves wood there is a good chance I do it.

Barbie and Dan Lend a Hand Holding a Door Open
This past year I got some help in the shop and on installations from Dan, a friend of mine that entered the carpentry/woodworking field as a union framing carpenter. He is a hard worker, gets things done quick, cares about the quality of his work, and most importantly, taught me a few of his tricks.
His most recent bit of advice saved me a day or two of work and only took me minutes to complete (I really like that guy).
I have a relatively new house. It's about three years old, and overall, I am happy with it. Since the beginning, though, there was one thing that drove me crazy, and I could never figure out an easy solution. My daughter Mira's bedroom door was hung way out of plumb, it is leaning into the opening about 3/4″, and if left alone, it will swing almost closed. You open the door and it closes on its own.
I am sure the carpenter that installed the door let it slide because the door casing butts into another door casing and the straight casing looks better than casing with an angle cut. At least that's what I tell myself. Truth is, he was probably flying along throwing up doors and plumb wasn't too much of an issue. Either way, it is still annoying.
The only way I could see to fix the problem was to rehang the door. That meant remove the casing, remove the door frame and start over. That also meant hours of finish work including caulking and painting. And, after all of that work, I would still have an unsightly, uneven line in my casing. Not to mention that I had an almost new house that I just wasn't in the mood to tear apart. What to do?
While I waited for divine inspiration to strike, I came up with a couple of temporary fixes. I started with a small stack of books which did not make it through Mira's approval process, and then I moved on to a regular old brown doorstop, but lacking the mandatory pink color made that one a no go as well. One of my favorite solutions was to get someone to simply hold the door open. I chose one of our family friends that is always at the house without much to do (that one made me chuckle a bit).
Amazingly enough, Barbie did not get cleared either and was quickly given her walking papers. So the door swung shut, again and again. We lived with it, and lived with it, and kept living with it, and it just got more and more annoying.
One day when I was working with Dan, I mentioned the stupid door and the stupid carpenter and the stupid level that he didn't bother to use. Dan casually said, "Just bend the hinge."
My first thought was, "What?"
That was much too simple. I needed to get in there and take care of this professionally, and it didn't include just bending the hardware. His plan was too pedestrian for me.
"No," Dan said, "Just hit it with a hammer a couple of times. No one can tell and the door won't swing shut."
That's all it takes. Instead of lubricating the hinges and making sure they swing easily, just do the opposite. Put a hinge, or in my case, two hinges in a slight bind, so there's a touch of resistance.
I started by heading to the garage with the first hinge. I put it down on the concrete and gave it a whack on the barrel, but it didn't make a difference. It didn't bend and it didn't bind. I hit it a little harder and still nothing. Then I really hit it. Finally, it started to offer some resistance, but not much. I ended up flattening the barrel down the entire length, but just a bit. I didn't want it to look deformed, just a little out of round and not noticeable.
I reinstalled the the hinge, but it wasn't enough. The door almost stayed open, but it still wanted to close. I took a second hinge out to the garage and treated it the same way, flattening the barrel just a touch down the entire length. That made all the difference.
Now the door looks good, stays open and works like any other regular door. And, the fix only took a few minutes (probably less time than it took to read this post). Thanks, Dan and Barbie, for all of your help.

As close as it seemed Chris Weidman was to a title shot following his win over Mark Munoz back in July, he may have to fight at least one more time before getting a crack at UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva.
Weidman has been very vocal over the past weeks since his fight with Munoz on his goal of facing Silva for the middleweight title as soon as possible.
Unfortunately for Weidman, he got very luke warm responses from Anderson Silva and his camp in regards to their interest in that potential fight happening.
While Anderson Silva's camp doesn't make matches for the UFC, President Dana White does and he's pretty sure Weidman will have to fight again before getting a shot at the belt.
"He's going to fight," White said when speaking to UFC Tonight on Tuesday.
White said they do have an idea for who Weidman would face next, but didn't shut down the possibility of him getting a title shot if things fall into place.
Right now, the UFC appears in a holding pattern waiting for the possible super fight between Anderson Silva and UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre. If St-Pierre wins at UFC 154 in Montreal on Nov 17, then all roads will likely lead to a showdown with Anderson Silva in 2013.
"No (he's not getting a title shot)," White answered. "I mean it could happen, who knows, we'll see what happens."
White admitted that he didn't want to jump ahead too fast and shut down the possibility of Weidman getting the next title shot, but with everything else that's been said recently it's almost a lock that Silva's next fight is riding on what happens with St-Pierre in November.
Chris Weidman now becomes the odd-man out awaiting word on another fight or if he wants to gamble on Carlos Condit winning at UFC 154, and then throwing his name back into the hat to face Anderson Silva if that scenario plays out.
The ball appears in Chris Weidman's court for now, but the waiting game is never a fun one for any fighter to play.

Pros: The staff was friendly, and the decor was nice.
Cons: My room was extremely small. It's so small they really shouldn't rent it.

The room I had was the size of a closet, very claustrophic. Most everything else was good. The staff was friendly, the location was good, and the decor was nice. I didn't like the fact that their restaurant didn't serve lunch.

Alleged Satellite Photo Says Ukraine Shootdown of MH17
Re: uh, no? (340 comments)
To be fair, having seen the video of the US Diplomat (April Glaspie) saying to the Iraqis (actual Saddam IIRC); '[W]e have no opinion on the Arab-Arab conflicts, like your border disagreement with Kuwait' you can read that deliberately obtuse statement either way. The subtlety of the language may have been lost in translation, but I would certainly not argue with someone who suggested that it ment that the US would not intervene in an Iraqi prosecution of a border skirmish with Kuwait. Likewise , I'm sure the diplomats were oh the view that had told the Iraqis that the US had not yet formulated their view on the merits of the Iraqi border claims.

Cumbrian pensioner killed on way to grandson's christening - court
Last updated at 11:30, Wednesday, 16 January 2013
A jury heard detailed accounts of how a grandmother was fatally injured as she crossed a road on her way to her grandson's christening.
Carlisle Crown Court heard how 71-year-old child care worker Marjorie Borwick was thrown into the air after she was hit by a car outside St John's Church at Bigrigg on December 4, 2011.
Rychenda Edgar, 22, of Dryden Way, Egremont, denies causing the pensioner's death by careless driving.
Opening the case for the prosecution, barrister Michael Blakey described how the tragedy happened at 10.30am after Mrs Borwick arrived outside the church for the service, having been driven there in a car with her daughter Julie Crabtree and her husband Brian.
They arrived just after Mrs Borwick's twin sons John and Christopher, who had also driven to the christening.
Both cars were parked in a layby beside the A595 which was on the opposite side of the road to the church.
The brothers crossed the road without incident, and were then followed by the other three.
"The road is fairly straight and there is good visibility," said Mr Blakey. "That part of the road runs past the church. It's a straight road and provides good, if not excellent, visibility to both pedestrians and drivers.
"Julie and her husband made it across the road. But Mrs Borwick sadly did not. She was hit by a car driven by this defendant and she was catapulted into the air because of that impact, and sustained multiple injuries, and sadly, regrettably, she was pronounced dead at 11.12am."
Mr Blakey said Mrs Borwick was relatively fit, still working for Cumbria County Council, and had been able to walk unaided.
He said there were no faults with the defendant's car, nor with her physical condition, and he suggested that the accident happened because Edgar was guilty of a lack of concentration or attention, which meant she did not see Mrs Borwick until too late.
"We submit that the collision could have been avoided," continued the barrister.
"We further submit that the only reason Mrs Borwick was hit by that car was because of, we say, that inattention.
"In other words, her driving was of a standard which was below what would be expected of a competent and careful driver."
In her evidence, Julie Crabtree said the road was clear in both directions when she, her husband and her mother started to cross the road.
Her mother had been slightly behind her. Describing what happened as they crossed the last section of the road, she said: "We were just towards the end of the road, and I heard a horn. It was an extended horn: a beep, then bump.
"I'd reached the side of the road and [my mum] was slightly behind me. I just turned.
"There was a bang, and mum was flying through the air."
She recalled seeing a car "in the distance" before the impact but thought it too far away to be a problem.
Mrs Crabtree agreed she had told police her mother's walking had discernibly slowed over the previous year.
Her brother Christopher had earlier told how he asked his mother if she wanted help as she got out of Brian's car but she said she was okay.
As he went to help his fatally injured mother, the woman passenger with defendant – her mother – approached and said she was sorry, to which he replied: "Don't talk to me – you've killed my mum."
The trial continues.

Nike+ iPhone app uncovered
Nike looks set to capitalise on its partnership with Apple by launching a workout application for the iPhone - if leaked images are to be believed.

Violent hill?
I reckon this is a fake, from what I believe the Coldplay song is named "Violet Hill", not "Violent Hill". Seems to me that Nike would have the correct title for the song, and some Frenchman has knocked this together in Photoshop, and miss-spelt the name!
Violent Hill
I'm inclined to agree with the above... hardly a difficult mock-up to make and a major typo
I hope they do make such an app though, it's the one thing that's always irritated me about the current Nike+ with my Nano.

Lawless EV Rocket Bike is Fastest Ever at 201mph in 6.94 Seconds (video)
For a while there we we're under the impression that Tesla's and those alike were some of the fastest EVs out there. Boy, we couldn't have been more wrong. However, keep in mind, we didn't say "on the market," which would suggest that we're only speaking of commercially available products. Which is far from the case when it comes to the Lawless EV Rocket Bike.
Record setting isn't unfamiliar to this crew. This time around they fired their EV drag racing bike down the track at Virginia Motorsports Park's quarter-mile strip in under 7 seconds; 6.94 to be more precise. There are sports cars that can't achieve 0-60 in that same amount of time. But what's more impressive is the top speed of 201mph. It's a dizzying amount of velocity to even fathom, let alone experience, which as you'll see in the above video the bike does everything it can to toss its rider (Larry "Spiderman" McBride) around, if not off.
For EV nerds out there, the Lawless EV bike has a 13-inch Dennis Berube-prepared DC motor and uses one custom Zilla box capable of dishing out 4,000 amps from one 14.2-kWh battery.
We believe that engine noise in the beginning of the video to be coming from another bike.

Hey Grissheim people.
I have finally found and copied the tape from last years trip to Grissheim. I have the entire cemetery on the tape, the church inside and out that was for our ancestors and the nearby Neuenburg church with memorials with all our surnames again on them. I was thinking about copying it onto a VCR tape if anyone wants it. I would just charge you for the tape and the postage, which can't be much.
Is anyone interested in it? I has all of our surname on them. I just dont have time, until winter to transcribe all the names onto paper as would be the best, and save everyone the work of actually watching the tape, but time I am short of.
Just a thought to help us all.

I was rather disappointed in this video. I expected a little more advanced yarns. It seemed a bit outdated to me.
Then, to add insult to injury, I was prompted to review it, and when I opened the link the price is now HALF what I paid for it two weeks ago.
All in all, not the best bang for my buck.
