How do they can fresh meat?
In the canning process, raw meat is placed in cans, the cans are sealed, and the product is cooked in it's natural juices. Yoders canned meats have become popular because of their convenience, low fat content, and non-refrigerated shelf-life.
Supplier's Note On Shelf Life
Canned long shelf life food has a shelf life of at least two years from the date of processing. Canned food retains its safety and nutritional value well beyond two years, but it may have some variation in quality, such as a change of color and texture. Canning is a high-heat process that renders the food commercially sterile. Food safety is not an issue in products kept on the shelf or in the pantry for long periods of time. In fact, canned long shelf life food has an almost indefinite shelf life at moderate temperatures (75F and below). Canned food as old as 100 years has been found in sunken ships and it is still microbiologically safe! We don't recommend keeping long shelf life canned food for 100 years, but if the can is intact, not dented or bulging, it is edible.
Yoders is a family business which has spanned 4 generations and with over 100 years of history.
Canned food labels have tendency to peel off over time, especially if they are kept for years in your basement. In order to prevent this, put a coat of shellac over the label as soon as you get them. This way, you will always know what's in the can years later.
- We recently picked up some great long shelf life canned foods and they are selling even better than we expected. I decided to do a taste test today on a few of them and we're all shocked at how good they are. I opened up a can each of the bacon, turkey chunks, pork sausage and the bread. None of us liked the bread. However all the rest are awesome! I think we all like the bacon the best. There is quite a bit of full bacon strips (not dehydrated and ready to eat right out of the can) wrapped in wax paper in the can. I eat all kinds of crazy things, but Lisa, David and Loree also loved the canned turkey, canned pork sausage and the canned bacon. It surprised me how tasty and full of flavor they all are. In fact, we're all filing up on it and are having it for lunch today. The three cans of meats is more than enough food for the 4 of us. The bread isn't horrible. We all agree that it kind of tastes like molasses bread that has been in a can. I know, not a very good description, but it's the best we can do for now. The bread is moist and a little crumbly, but doesn't compare to the full, rich flavor of the other canned foods we tested. Over time, we might do taste tests on more of our long shelf life canned foods, but I hope this gives you a good idea of all our canned foods since they come from the same company.
- We started offering these canned foods just a few months ago and they are already among our best selling products. We stock more and more of these long shelf life canned foods every week. We have a steady, current and brand new supply and get more every week. We ship them out almost as quickly as we get them. We are also preparing one year food supplies with these items so stay tuned for that. We are also adding new canned food items every month. Even though they are moving so fast, we�re doing great on shipping times. These long shelf life canned foods ship from our warehouse in Upstate NY.

There is no expiration date on any of the Yoder�s cans because we go through the expense of doing an accelerated shelf life study on all of the products we develop. If you can prove that the shelf life is equal or great to 5 years, the USDA and FDA doesn�t require a �Best By� or �Expiration� date.
However, they do require a date of manufacture be on the can. In the case of all the Yoder�s Products we stamp the date on the bottom of the can in a Julian format. You will notice that there are two lines of numbers and letters on the bottom lid � the first one is the date. The letter you usually see is the line it was produced on, and the next 4 digits is the date. Of the 4 numbers, the first one represents the year and the next 3 numbers are the day of the year (out of 365 days).
For example, if you see something like B8336, B would be the production line the rice was assembled on (more for our tracking purposes as required by the USDA), 8 would be for 2008 and 336 would be for the 336th day of the year � or translated using the below �Day of the Year� calendar
Recently Lisa made some very tasty food with our canned meats and canned broths and brought it in for all of us to share. Please see below a couple great recipes that had us all asking for seconds. Maybe it�s too much (or maybe not), but I would even add our canned bacon to both recipes too. Plus we also sell the big
cans of spices
as well as smaller spice selections
such as these

Grant Gilmore's Friday Night Weather Update

North Country had a solid year of riding and competing during the 2014 season, despite the beginning of the season being full of weather-related cancellations.
A team that maintains a strong philosophy developed by their coaches Natalie Guillette and Ryan Anderson, allowed the athletes to focus on being good citizens, while also maintaining their physical and mental health, as all athletes should.
BARRE-Lake Region's quest for a spot in the 2014 Division III Finals fell one game short as they lost to the Randolph Galloping Ghosts 70-59.
Clint Provoncha had a great game for the Rangers, scoring 24 points, that included six three pointers.
For the full story, see the Express on Monday 3-10-14.
ESSEX–The biggest game of the weekend for North Country sports fans took place deep in Hornet Country, as the Falcons and the Essex Hornets took to the ice with a trip to the Gutterson Field House for the Division I State Title on the line.
A sluggish start proved to be the Falcons' undoing, as Essex notched two goals in the first period en route to a 5-2 win.
ORLEANS-The rematch was no contest. After a close regular season tilt with visiting Peoples Academy, the play-off sequel was a mismatch. A consistent press and a long bench paved the way to an impressive 17 point win over PA in the Division III quarter-finals.
Lake Region got a big boost from the season's largest crowd in Orleans as the Don Harter Memorial Gymnasium was nearly packed and emotion was high as the contest tipped off.
For the full story, see the Express on 3-3-14.
CHELSEA–The 5th ranked Craftsbury boys basketball team had an excellent showing in their quarter-final battle with the number 4 Chelsea Red Devils, but ended up on the short end of the stick, as they fell 50-47 to close out their season.
"Those boys played their hearts out," Craftsbury coach Derek Cipriano said about his team after the game. "(Chelsea) took a lead late, and they were up by nine, but we battled back to get within one and I am so proud of them."
For the full story, see the Express on 3-3-14.
JAY–Sometimes you have it, and sometimes you don't, and Wednesday was one of those nights for the North Country girls hockey team, as they fell to Colchester 1-0 in the Metro Division quarter-finals.
"I think we might have been a little off in spots, but full credit to Colchester. They are probably 12 deep in skaters, and they don't have any off-skaters," said NCU coach Claude Paul. "I knew it was a tough draw when we got them, but we wanted that home ice, and that is where we landed."
For the full story, see the Express on 2-28-14.
ORLEANS-The Lake Region Rangers have lived by their defensive pressure all season long.
The visiting Oxbow Olympians got a first hand look at that during their play-down visit.
The end result was a dominating defensive effort by the number three seeded Rangers as they blew out number 14 seed Oxbow by 41 points.
For the full story, see the Express on 2-28-14.
CRAFTSBURY–Chris DeLaBruere, the former United Christian Academy standout and Current Craftsbury Charger, scored his 1000th point for Craftsbury Academy, as they won their Division IV playoff game versus Blue Mountain on Wednesday night by the score of 51-45.
MANCHESTER-Although they did not get the win, the Falcons' boys basketball team gave a fine performance in their play-down loss to Burr and Burton Academy on Tuesday.
"The boys played well, but their shots didn't fall," said NCU coach Ed Duncan, who wraps up his first year behind the bench with a 7-14 record. "I wish our two seniors the best of luck moving forward, and I would like to thank all of the parents and our fans."
B&B got out to the fast start, posting a ten-spot on the board before the Falcons got their first basket.
ST. ALBANS-The North Country Falcons defeated the BFA St. Albans Bobwhites 5-4 on Tuesday night to advance to the Division One Semi-finals. Ryan Paul scored the game winning goal, but the story of this game is a lot more complex.
To see how it all unfolded, just find Mike Olmstead in Jay on 2-26-14, see it on twitter at @neksports, or wait for the 27th, any which way you slice it, the options are there.
Find your media, and share it with your friends.
North Country will take on Essex on Saturday at 5:00 in Essex.

The Voting Is Fixed
Posted by
I have watched Dancing With The Stars since the first show. When I go to vote I never get all the votes that I am supposed to get. If I am supposed to get 5, I get 4, there is something wrong with the counting. Also I cannot believe the unwed mom from Alaska can still be on the show. She is one of the worst dancers that I have ever seen. I will not be watching the show from now on, for one thing keep the politians off the show. You have lost a good viewer.
Also I have talked to others that has watched the show and they are on longer watching it either.

People are free to vote for whoever they want. If people want to keep the "unwed mom from Alaska" on the show, they can vote for her.
Anonymous on 11/10/2010:
what do you mean you don't get all the votes you are supposed to?
do you not think all of your votes are counted? if that is the case, do you have any proof?
Anonymous on 11/10/2010:
It's not always about pure talent, but sometimes more about appeal. If the audience and/or America really love a particular contestant then they vote for them. I.E.-Prince Poppycock from America's Got Talent, or the kid flying the kite? How much talent does it take to fly a kite. Show me once or twice and I could fly it as well. But it was MORE than that. The kid touched the hearts of the voting public, and thus advanced much further than he should have. Apparently as the case with the "unwed mom from Alaska".
Venice09 on 11/10/2010:
I only tuned in a few times this season, but it was enough to know that Bristol Palin cannot dance. I can't believe she made it to the semi-finals, but I don't think the voting is fixed. Are you saying that you are only able to vote four times instead of five? What happens on the fifth try?
Bud, I agree about the kite flyer but not about Prince Poppycock. Sharon was right when she said he is the male Lada Gaga. He has an enormous talent, and I doubt that we've seen the last of him.
momsey on 11/10/2010:
Whenever anyone says "the voting is fixed" when it comes to a reality competition show, that only means that their favorite went home. I don't see why they would fix the votes to keep Bristol Palin on and send home someone else instead. I just don't see the motive. But, regardless, she's not the worst dancer ever. She's not great, but she's not bad. I don't know what her marital or maternal status has to do with anything. If you're upset about babies born out of wedlock, you should know the co-host is an unwed mother. How horrifying!!!
I watch it and I've been watching it less and less lately (didn't see it at all this week) but it's not because I think it's fixed. The performance show is always too long (I don't have two hours every week to devote to this show.)
PepperElf on 11/10/2010:
good point bud. I mean look at William Hung.
yet still he actually had votes and even an album.
sometimes people vote, not for talent, but to see something they find funny.
though ... I'm curious. why do people get 5 votes? what's wrong with just one? unless it's to allow people to stuff the voting box and make it look like more people are watching?
Venice09 on 11/10/2010:
I don't believe William Hung got any votes because he didn't make it to the live show. He did manage to make somewhat of a career out of his AI exposure though.
momsey on 11/10/2010:
Pepper, on Dancing with the Stars, you get as many votes per week as there are dancers left. So if there are five dancers left, you have five votes. Next week, when there are four dancers, you'll get four votes.
Venice09 on 11/10/2010:
Oh, I didn't know that, momsey. I'm wasn't sure how the voting worked on DWTS. I just knew there was a limit, as opposed to American Idol where the voting is unlimited.
momsey on 11/10/2010:
I actually think it makes it more fair for there to be a limit on voting. That way, teeny boppers with nothing better to do can't sit there on speed dial and speed texting their votes for two hours.
Venice09 on 11/10/2010:
I agree, momsey. That's exactly what happens on AI. I'd like to know the percentage of votes cast by teenage girls. I'll bet it's quite high.
Anonymous on 11/10/2010:
Are you upset that Bristol is an unwed mother or that she's from Alaska? Worst dancer you've ever seen? Being a watcher from season 1, you're saying that she's worse than Woz, Steve-O, Kate Gosselin, and Adam Corolla?
How about this one: Jennifer Gray is married now, but she had her kid 5 months after getting married. Do the math. I guess we should stop voting for her now, too?
Anonymous on 11/10/2010:
Bristol is not a politician, but Mama Grizzly is...is that what you're referring to when you say keep the politicians off the show?
I don't watch the show so I don't know who can or cannot dance, but if you're concerned that the voting is rigged, have you tried contacting the network that hosts it?

I think Bristol has done great. She had absolutely NO dancing experience and is basically shy. She has done remarkably well. No, she isn't the best dancer, but YES, she has the hearts of a lot of people.
momsey on 11/10/2010:
I agree, oldisgood! And it's obvious she has the hearts of a lot of people since she's not getting the best scores from the judges but she's lasting week after week.
trmn8r on 11/10/2010:
I can see the entertainment value in this show, but it isn't something I would watch. A few days ago, there was a professional dancing competition shown on my local PBS station. It was very impressive.
So-called celebrities dancing, on ice, playing water polo, knitting socks, etc just doesn't do it for me.

I think its a shame that a lot of better dancers are getting eliminated and bristol is still on there. I think her mother and her tea party friend are keeping her on there. It's got to the point with me that I don't care if I miss the show or not!!!
momsey on 11/10/2010:
I'm sure Sarah Palin would appreciate you thinking she has the kind of power that would extend to the ability to keep and get rid of contestants on a reality show, but I don't think that's it! People must like the girl!

Excellent point, Huck. I actually thought Bristol would be eaten alive on that show, but seems like she's doing pretty well.
Venice09 on 11/10/2010:
I have to agree that Bristol is trying and has come a long way. The only reason she is still there is because people like her. That's not unusual in these competitions. Talent is sometimes secondary. It would be a shame if she won though. That's where a line should be drawn. But if she gets the votes, nothing can be done to change it, as far as I know.
browniegirl on 11/11/2010:
I have contacted the local station on the voting and they said they would check in on it won't make any difference. I said that she is the worst and there has been several others on there also. But this is supposed to Dancing With The Stars, she is no star, just like Kat Gosslin was no star, although wh did have a TV show. This show is losing lots of viewers as I have talked to a lot of them.
jennifer on 11/12/2013:
I have watched this from the beginning and I am appalled and ashamed at the people who are voting for these stars the title of the show is called Dancing With The Stars the vote he for whom dances the best not the most popular this year people have lost all sense of what this show is about not popularity contest its a dance show.so I think this will be my last time watching the show.
Karen on 11/18/2013:
They obviously need to change their fan voting format. This is not a popularity contest. When stars week after week get high scores and go home while other stars week after week get low scores never getting higher than a 7 or maybe an 8 and are on the verge of making it to the finals There is something wrong with this picture. Why would any star want to work their tail off to get high scores only to go home. Got to change how much fan voting determines who goes home

The show where the People with Talent get Kicked off
Posted by
Every time I see someone with amazing abilities get booted off that show it makes me depressed and as a result I stop watching. They finally had a season that brought one of the people that was unfairly kicked off back on, Sabrina Bryan. After a Hurricane blows through and she gets a perfect 30 from the judges she is voted off the show for a second time in the sixth week (same week as the first time she was kicked off) Just goes to show the show is a popularity contest but worst part is that not everyone got a chance to vote due to a state of emergency.. And I am going back to not watching the show for a final time.

I watched this show for 5 minutes once, and my impression is that if it was about talent there wouldn't actually be a show of this title.
leet60 on 10/31/2012:
This show, as with most voting based reality shows is a farce. It is quite evident, with these shows, that the popular vote is not actually considered, rather the winner each week is based on the opinions of the producers as to who is the most marketable. It is about the money.
It is evident in this show, AGT, The Voice, American Idol and the like.

BR on 11/01/2012:
DWTS needs to bring Sabrina back- this was an unfair elimiantion of all counts-
1st: people on the east coast could not vote- elimintions should have been extended by another week.
2nd: Judges were so wrong to give Kirstie the extra 2 points- because she was fun??? get real
3rd: If this unfairness is due to fan base you need to take the public voters out of the equation. It is a septic tank for unfair judging.
ABC and DWTS ought to be ashamed of themselves for not thinking ahead about the impact the storm would have on voters.
clutzycook on 11/02/2012:
They're not rescheduling the Presidential election so what makes you think they would reschedule a vote on a reality show?
Margie on 11/04/2012:
I agree with BR. Most of the east coast was in a state of emergency. Half of the east coast still has no electricity so no one could even see the show, much less vote. This is just wrong. They should bring them back for next week. It is not fair at all.

The Show Is Unfair
Posted by
Palin and Alley are the two worst dancers on the show and other better dancers are being eliminated. The voting is a joke. I have watched the show since season one. But I can't stand it any more. I will not watch the show again. The judging should be done by the judges only, not what we are told the viewing audience voted.

Bristal Palin is definitely the worst dancer and it is deplorable that Joey, Drew and now Helio are gone and she remains. I would be embarrassed if I was her. This show is so ridiculous with votes. I really do not believe the votes or the terrible judges. They say one thing then vote different. I was excited about this show but with Joey, Drew gone makes me wonder. I really like Melissa but who knows with the stupid votes clearly abc manipulates the votes. This show should be called dancing with whom? The purpose of the show does not apply. Get rid of Bristol or loose viewers.
leet60 on 10/10/2012:
It is fairly easy to discern, with any of these "voting" reality shows, that the winners each week and overall are the choices of the producers. Like most television it all comes down to ratings and profit.

Bristol Palin is still in the spotlight? It's refreshing not seeing or hearing her mother, and since I don't watch DWTS her relatives as well.

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA -- I enjoy watching Dancing With The Stars and hope it continues. However, I do not appreciate seeing men dance without shirts or tops. I find it quite offensive. Also, I believe some of the women should dress according to their dress size.

All show will never please all viewers. All shows will, however, will find disapproval by some people. Some shows will be seen as offensive by some viewers. There are just too many channels available to let one show upset your evening.
Some people like it. Some people don't. Things like this will always exist.
But when you get right down to the bottom line it's all about ratings. If they have high ratings showing skin that's what they are going to do.

Dancing With The Stars Complaint
Posted by
SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS -- I am writing this in absolute disgust of your show. This is not a show for dancing ability but rather a popularity contest. We saw it 2 seasons ago with Sarah Palin, last season with Kirsty Allie and this season with Chaz Bono who very obviously can't dance and is continuing to stay on a show that is SUPPOSED to be about dancing ability.
I am done watching your show and ABC should take notice and this show should be thrown off of the air. You are a grave disappointment.

While Chaz Bono is probably a terrible dancer, he is probably good-looking, which is what the ladies and few males voted on. (No I don't watch the show)

The show is what it is, like American Idol and that ilk. It is your neighbors who make the decisions, not qualified judges, for the most part.
ChuhBaca on 10/05/2011:
The show isn't a popularity contest, and it's not a dancing competition. It is a reality TV series based on teaching people to dance and staying popular with the viewers. While it does make for entertainment, it's another manufactured concept that doesn't require writers to come up with stories.
There's nothing wrong with enjoying the show (I do myself sometimes, especially when Lacey is on) but take it for what it is.

My belief is this show, like all "voting based" reality shows have the outcome manipulated by the producers. Witness several winners for American Idol and the like over the years. It all comes down to what will generate viewers during the season and/or will help them capitalize on the winner after the show is finished.

Venice09 on 10/06/2011:
I think one of the reasons Chaz made it through is because Cher said she would be in the audience if he was on next week.
DWTS is not just about dancing ability. It's a combination of personality, endurance, perseverance and progress.
These competition shows are rarely about the best talent. But in the end, the right person usually wins.

Name Change
Posted by
If this show is going to continue to be more popularity than dancing ability, then change the name of the show to reflect this !! The name of the show "Dancing With the Stars" suggests that dancing is the skill needed to compete in this competition. If this show is really just a popularity competition, then change the name to "Popularity of the Stars". The competitors enter this contest expecting to be fairly judged on the dancing ability by both the judges and the viewers !!! This has not been happening ! Popularity is ruling. It's time to get back to the basics. Let's Dance !! If not, you'll lose viewers !!!!!

momsey on 11/17/2010:
The same can be said for any show where the public votes. American Idol does not find the best singer, necessarily. It finds the singer that America relates to best or finds the most likable.
So You Think You Can Dance is famous for saying that they're searching for America's FAVORITE (not best) dancer. You can't tell people how to decide how to vote. It's just the nature of the medium.
And the Palins are VERY popular in some circles, and it's not just the trailer park.
Venice09 on 11/17/2010:
I think DWTS should be based more on talent though. There's more room for error in singing. Dancing has to be more precise.
Obsfucation on 11/17/2010:
I had to laugh at the commercial for the new Skating With The Stars; when they list the 'stars' they have to tell you who each of them is, because no one would recognize them otherwise. Some stars!

Sorry, Inat, but I disagree. Studdard and Fantasia are both extremely talented. Not my style, but that doesn't mean I don't recognize their talent.
Just curious. How did you feel about Adam Lambert, who came so close to winning?

I just feel that this is what happens on public voting reality shows. You don't have the professionals making the cut, it's the public. So yes, it IS based on popularity.

Some Thing Is Wrong With The Voting
Posted by
My wife and I have been viewers of this show since it began. This season it has become obvious that the voting has been skewed so that the unwed mom from Alaska has been kept on the show even though she has the poorest dancing ability. The show never reveals what the actual vote counts are. Is it possible that since she is the daughter of the former governor of Alaska and current darling of the political right, she will be kept on the show until the very end? In the meantime a lot better dancers have been let go.
I have reached the point that I consider this situation being corrupt. Therefore, I will no longer be a fan and viewer of what was once an excellent entertaining show.

It's quite amazing that people think that the show is rigged because who they want voted off isn't being voted off. Maybe more people are voting for certain people to stay?
momsey on 11/11/2010:
I don't see how keeping the daughter of a very polarizing political figure, who happens to be Republican, on a TV show would help anyone out. Haven't you heard that most of Hollywood is liberal and not enamored with Sarah Palin?
I keep seeing this "complaints" and not one of them has given a solid motive for the voting to be fixed so as to keep Bristol Palin. Without motive, you don't have much.
Isn't it possible that the nice young lady has touched the hearts of a lot of people?
And if unwed mothers bother you so much, maybe you should not be watching the show at all, since Brooke Burke, the co-host, is an unwed mom herself!
Crown Jules on 11/11/2010:
I don't watch the show so I don't give a flibbityjibbit who wins, but I did just read an article online this morning that DWTS is supposedly a popular show amongst Republicans. I firmly believe that on most of these competition reality shows, especially the ones that rely on viewer votes, there is some producer manipulation going on. It even says in the fine print of the end credits that producers have a hand in the final results.
It's all about the ratings, my friends. The person that you love to hate always makes it further in the competition than he or she probably should. It gets people talking and, as the saying goes, there is no such thing as bad publicity.
Disaster Worker on 11/11/2010:
Crown, have a problem with Republicans?
Crown Jules on 11/12/2010:
Disaster Worker, what part of my comment would make you think I have a problem with Republicans? The point I was trying to make was that producers on a lot of these shows influence the results and if a the show is popular among Republicans it makes sense they might want to keep those viewers happy by keeping around the daughter of a prominent Republican. If anything it was a dig at the producers for interfering.

You have lost many viewers, me included, by not conducting a fair voting system. This is a favorites(Howe)/political(Palin) show and should be kicked off the air.

I believe that this, and most reality shows are "fixed". It is easily witnessed with shows such as DWTS, American Idol and I even believe Survivor. For the former two, there is NO independent count of the vote tally and viewers are left simply with the producers allegation of how the votes went.
As for Survivor, being a dedicated fan, it becomes obvious that the contestants that will "Sell" the show by their performance are the ones that remain.
momsey on 11/17/2010:
Who's Howe? I don't get that part.
But I think everyone is getting way too upset over an entertainment show. EVERYONE is talking about DWTS and that's exactly what DWTS wants. I bet their ratings are through the roof, despite everyone promising to boycott.

I have been watching Dancing With The Stars since the show began, but you have been putting some of the worst dancers through and kicking out the better dancers far too long. Also Adam brand and Manu have been a couple of the worst dancers and they shocked me that you could pick them to win.In the beginning the best dancers won. Not like now, I will never watch this cheating show ever again as it sucks, cheats . A very unhappy viewer.

Trying to vote has become impossible. The lines are constantly busy. Therefore, you can't get through. The wooden soldier, Bristol Palin should have been gone three weeks ago. For a young girl she is awful. Something smells in Alaska and it's not fish. There need to be another way and the judges need more clout.

This is a TV show. Why is Brandy so upset and acting like a baby because she got voted off? It is not a show to see the professionals, but to take everday people and watch their dancing improve. Stop badgering Bristol. It is refreshing to see a regular person in the competitino. Derick should keep his mouth shut. He's no prize!!!!!

For those who have found it on the AH, how much did you pay for it? If you are or have an alt scribe character, where/how did you pick it up? How are you liking it?
All these lovely new glyphs are still a rarity for many of us; any insight is appreciated!

This actress currently stars in a drama as a Washington D.C.-based crisis manager. Her character is partially based on a former George H.W. Bush administration press aide who is the show's co-executive producer! She's also been in a number of TV shows and movies including Save the Last Dance, Miracle at St. Anna, and I think I love My Wife among others. Can you name the actress and the real life crisis manager?

I don't think his skills sharply decreased at all in my opinion.
There are many paths to freedom, not all are peaceful
I still can't believe what I saw on Saturday. The Weidman/Silva fight symbolizes a lot in my eyes. It was such an insane way for things to end, but I wish it wouldn't have gone that way. I wanted to see Weidman definitively finish Silva offensively which it looked like he going to accomplish. The fact that he destroyed his opponent with deadly defense is extremely remarkable though; I just can't believe that it happened in one of the most meaningful fights of our time. I could probably ramble on for about a page with what I think about Weidman/Silva. Blows my mind. I am sad for Anderson.
Ronda/Tate was a good fight. The energy at the bar was surprising. Everyone was cheering and into it. Ronda's best win, imo. Meisha is one tough woman.
Jim Miller. Boom. Like a stealth bear trap. Beautiful armbar.
Always liked Poirer and it was GREAT to see him beat Brandao's like that. Kid is a badass. Who's next?
Browne/Barnett hurt. I like Browne and it was a great win for him, but I really wanted to see Josh make a run and take this win. To see him get mandhandled and crushed like that really sucked. The Warmaster will come back.
Horrible for Leben and Tibau.
I missed the rest of the fights.
What a crazy fucking year... both GSP and Anderson no longer hold their gold. Times have really changed.
In the end, the only prize a fighter keeps is you. I only ask that you continue supporting all athletes. Keep supporting them, because in the end your applause is the only thing that remains. The rest is only an illusion. - Wanderlei to fans

Pittsburgh RBI (Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities) is part of the international MLB RBI program. Pittsburgh RBI began in 1994 as part of the Roberto Clemente Foundation. Because of the program's growth and its need for additional resources, in 2003, Pittsburgh RBI became part of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Western Pennsylvania. The Boys & Girls Club provides Pittsburgh RBI with the infrastructure and administrative services that are necessary for its success.
The program has continued to grow. In 2007, Pirates Charities, in its first official act, partnered with the Roberto Clemente Foundation and the Baseball Tomorrow Fund to renovate a portion of the Shadyside Boys & Girls Club facility to build a home for Pittsburgh RBI. The Pirates Community Baseball Center was officially opened in February of 2007. It features indoor batting cages, pitching machines and meeting rooms that can be used by Pittsburgh RBI's volunteer coaches. ALL Pittsburgh RBI participants have free-of-charge access to the Pirates Community Baseball Center and can use the facility to work on their baseball skills year round.

Kim Bo-Kyung headed a stoppage-time equaliser as Cardiff City claimed a 2-2 Barclays Premier League draw against Manchester United.
After Wayne Rooney had given the visitors a 15th-minute lead, Fraizer Campbell levelled matters for the hosts, only for David Moyes' men to restore their lead thanks to Patrice Evra's header from Rooney's 45th-minute corner. However, substitute Kim darted in front of the France full-back to produce a similar finish from Peter Whittingham's free-kick in injury time – the midfielder's deliveries having caused United problems all afternoon.
A rapturous Cardiff City Stadium held its breath and then rejoiced as Rooney passed up a late chance to steal the points as Moyes' men finished a frantic weekend of Barclays Premier League action in sixth position, seven points behind leaders Arsenal.
Jordon Mutch was preferred in the Cardiff midfield to Aron Gunnarsson, with Campbell leading the line against his former club, while Robin van Persie's absence due to a groin injury meant that Javier Hernandez partnered Rooney in attack for United.
The England striker had an effort blocked and Mutch saw his header saved before the two came together in the first-half's early flashpoint for which Rooney was booked. Rooney was subsequently the beneficiary when an error from Cardiff defender Ben Turner resulted in the champions taking a 15th-minute lead. Turner's loose pass was collected by Antonio Valencia and the Ecuador winger's cross was touched on by Hernandez for Rooney to check back and find the net, via a deflection off Gary Medel.
Marouane Fellaini drew a superb save from David Marshall when he headed Adnan Januzaj's 20th-minute free-kick goalwards, but the young playmaker then erred near his own area, leading to Peter Odemwingie lashing the ball over the crossbar.
Cardiff equalised in the 33rd minute when Whittingham and Mutch combined in midfield and the latter released Campbell for a composed finish.
Campbell, Don Cowie and Whittingham all fired over for the hosts as United laboured in defence of set-pieces, although they demonstrated no such problems attacking them when Evra glanced in Rooney's left-wing corner on the stroke of the interval.
Rooney's dead-ball deliveries continued to torment Cardiff upon the resumption and Marshall was at full stretch to deny Fellaini before beating away a header from Chris Smalling. Malky Mackay's team responded once more and Campbell sent an audacious lob against De Gea's crossbar after Tom Cleverley had given away possession, with the rebound narrowly evading Mutch.
United might have earned some breathing space when Rooney headed Valencia's 59th-minute cross over, while Whittingham sent a first-time effort just wide from distance six minutes later and Cleverley almost diverted a free-kick from the same player into his own net.
Danny Welbeck shot over 10 minutes from time and the United substitute was to rue his profligacy when Kim stole in to snatch a share of the spoils, as Cardiff edged three points clear of the relegation zone.
Rooney could still have won it when he latched on to a ball over the top, but he elected to square the ball to Welbeck rather than shoot and scuffed his intended pass into the grateful path of Marshall.
Cardiff manager Malky Mackay: "We played really well. That is the most complete first-half performance this season and we were playing against the champions.
"The belief to play like we did against a team like Manchester United. and press them high - that gives me the most pleasing aspect. It was a lovely goal [from Fraizer Campbell] and he almost scored a better one [with the chip]. He has got a second chance. He had had a really bad injury and we managed to get him."
VIDEO: Watch Malky Mackay's press conference >>
Manchester United manager David Moyes: "I'm disappointed we didn't take three points. Cardiff made game of it and put us under pressure. We gave away a silly free-kick which led to their second goal and didn't defend it well enough. Danny Welbeck had brilliant chance to make it 3-1."
"That's two points dropped in this game and two points dropped in the Southampton game and that can be costly. We've got ourselves to blame [for that]."

Romain Grosjean still believes his E22 could be a "monster of a car" but first the team needs to resolve their issues.
The Enstone outfit has been on the back foot all weekend in Melbourne and it was more of the same in Saturday's qualifying.
Having covered just four laps in final practice where a "misfire" resulted in some frustration from Grosjean, he had hoped for some improvement in qualifying.
It was not to be.
The 27-year-old qualified down in 21st place with only his team-mate Pastor Maldonado, who did not set a lap time, behind him.
On the up side, though, Grosjean's 1:36.993 was within the 107 per cent qualifying rule.
"We had a lot of problems today and every time we fixed one another one comes along!" he bemoaned.
"The guys are working very hard and it's a tough situation for everyone. We just have to learn everything we can every time we are out in the car on the track.
"Yes it's frustrating, but I'm the one who has the easiest life as I'm not working all night on the car. The whole team is here to win, so when it doesn't go to plan it's not great.
"It could still be made into a monster of a car if we all pull together as a team. We've been through some tough times in the past so we'll work our way out of it."

It's been said that Ms. Post - leading American socialite and heir to the Postum Cereal Company - lived like a queen but also gave like a philanthropist.
The only child of Charles William Post and Ella Letitia Merriweather, Marjorie Merriweather Post inherited the successful Postum Cereal Company at age 27, after her father's death. See in this episode of BIOGRAPHY® how Post, a socialite and shrewd businesswoman, helped elevate the rapidly growing enterprise to even further success.
In 1923, after Post's second husband Edward Hutton became Postum's chairman of the board, the company expanded to include such brands as Birdseye Frozen Foods and became the General Foods Corporation. The move was largely instigated by Post, who saw the need for prepared food in an age of increasingly independent women. After the Huttons divorced in 1935, she joined the company's Board of Directors, becoming one of the first women to join the board of directors of a major American corporation.
In spite of her business savvy, Post is probably best known for her four marriages and lavish homes. Her husbands include Hutton (their only child was actress Dina Merrill); Edward Bennett Close (grandfather to Glenn Close by a second marriage); Joseph Davies, US ambassador to the Soviet Union; and May Department Stores heir Herbert A. May Jr. The Long Island home she shared with her third husband is now the C.W. Post College at Long Island University. The 115-room Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, was purchased from the Post Family Trust in 1985 by Donald Trump, who reopened it as a private club. And her Washington, D.C. estate, Hillwood, was left to the Smithsonian and reopened to the public in 1977 as a museum to display Post's extensive French and Russian art collection.
Though an avid socialite with expensive tastes, including the largest privately owned sea-going yacht in the world and a pair of 20-carat diamond earrings belonging to Marie Antoinette, Post was also renowned for her substantial charitable donations. She set up soup kitchens in New York during the Depression and contributed to the Soviet War Relief of World War II, the Boy Scouts of America and the National Symphony Orchestra's "Music for Young America" program. Over the years, she donated millions of dollars to charities, including $100,000 to build the Kennedy Center. The French government also awarded Post the Legion of Honor after she donated funds to construct field hospitals in France during World War I.

Not everyone's mother has a treasure trove of vintage Chanel and Hermes to be borrowed. With that said, there are still plenty of unique "mom pieces" that you can style into your modern wardrobe to great effect. Here is a little inspiration from bloggers like Leandra Medine of Man Repeller and Julie Sarinana of Sincerely Jules.
7 Things To Steal From Your Mom's Closet
- 1 of 8
You'll get a little bonding time with your mom and we guarantee she'll enjoy seeing you breathe new life into her old favorite pieces. Did we mention this is all free?
- 2 of 8
Silk Scarf
We've extolled the virtues of a neckerchief before, but we particularly love the competing prints in Medine's silk scarf and plaid shirt combination.
Leandra Medine
- 3 of 8
Logo Print Bag
If the S/S 14 runways are any indication, logo mania will be everywhere this season (Alexander Wang, DKNY). Wear a logo print bag from any designer—the more obscure the better—with a blazer for work or boyfriend jeans and a blouse. It's the new print.

Strand of Pearls
Sure you can wrap them around your wrist or wear them over a concert tee, but why not try this unique styling trick seen at New York Fashion Week?

Oversized Coat
Coats from the '80s are synonymous with shoulder pads. Embrace the bold silhouette by scrunching the arms and wearing with monochromatic, modern accessories and sleek hair.
Karla Deras
- 6 of 8
Delicate Watch
The menswear watch trend has reigned supreme for so long we can't even remember wearing something ladylike on our wrists. Try something new by teaming a feminine watch with skinny bangles.
Caitlin Lindquist
- 7 of 8
Cocktail Ring
Statement jewelry has been around for a long time, and the pieces from the '70s and '80s are particularly glamorous. Dilute the impact by mixing with dainty pieces in similar metals to make them daytime appropriate.
Karla Deras
- 8 of 8
Your mom most likely paired these with her pantsuits, but we prefer mixing them into a casual weekend look as an alternative to sneakers or ballet flats.

WASHINGTON - Military and security planners for President Obama's second inaugural ceremony are apparently determined that there will be no repeat of what happened at the president's first inaugural when thousands of people were trapped in the Third Street tunnel.
This time they're closing the tunnel.
"The Third Street tunnel will be closed to all vehicular traffic and pedestrian traffic for this event," says Brig. Gen. Errol Schwartz, commander, D.C. National Guard.
The president will be sworn in for his second term at a private White House ceremony on Jan. 20, 2013. He'll repeat the oath in a public ceremony at the Capitol the next day.
Due to a security blunder in 2009, thousands of people with tickets to see the president take the oath of office on the west front of the Capitol were herded into the Third Street tunnel where they were trapped from seeing the historic event.
At the upcoming inaugural, "the only traffic that will be going through the Third Street tunnel will be for emergency purposes only," says Schwartz.
Military planners anticipate a smaller crowd than the 1.5 million or more who bundled against the bitter cold for the president's first inauguration Jan. 20, 2009.
Metro planners expect up to 800,000 people at the ceremony Jan. 21, 2013.
"I think there will be much easier access," for the upcoming inaugural ceremony, says Maj. Gen. Michael Linnington, commander of the Joint Task Force, National Capital Region.
"The lessons learned from 2009 have all been incorporated in the security plan this year," Linnington says.
In planning for the president's second inaugural, Linnington anticipates "extended hours for public transportation, opening additional bridges and making it more accessible for people to come in," he says.
Planning is also under way for the inaugural parade on Pennsylvania Avenue from the Capitol to the White House. It's expected to include about 10,000 marchers, 200 horses, honor guards, bands and floats.

2k13 is going to be great. How many people in our league are getting it and play on PS3? If we have a good number of people we should start up a online association for this year. I read that they give the commish of the league alot more control over how to setup the league. I know you can do a flex schedule this year so that you dont have to wait till certain weeks to play games. We could have a Thread on here where we can discuss the league, games, trades, etc when not on PS3. Anybody interested in doing this?
Get an Xbox, you fools!
It's great as a space heater!
Lettuce be serious here, the only reason I bought an xbox was to teabag people in halo 3. Ever since, it stuck.
Nah, teabagging in Halo Reach was pretty fun. I hear they optimized the ball-dropping physics in the upcoming Halo 4 for the optimal bagging experience.

Many hotels can be found near the Eiffel Tower, as it is commonly desirable to find a hotel that can offer a view of this famous structure. As it is situated close to other major attractions including the Trocadéro and Hôtel des Invalides, the Eiffel Tower occupies a prominent and popular location in the city. Stylish boutique hotels are easy to find in this area, on both sides of the Seine. The most charming and attractive Paris hotels are those independently owned properties that offer a unique and authentic experience. There are also large numbers of four star chain hotels that guarantee a brand standard. However, staying in a hotel near the Eiffel Tower needn't cost the earth – Easytobook.com also has an impressive selection of budget hotels close to the Eiffel Tower.
Many people travelling to Paris choose to stay in a hotel near the Eiffel Tower. Once the tallest structure in the world, the Eiffel Tower stands 324 metres high. It is located next to the River Seine in Paris' 7th arrondissement. The Eiffel Tower – named after its architect Gustave Eiffel – remains one of the most romantic places on earth. Many people come here to propose to their loved one on top of the tower or under its glorious arch. Those who climb to the top of the tower are rewarded with stunning views of Paris, towards Palais de Chaillot in one direction, and over Champs de Mars in the opposite direction.
The characteristic puddle iron lattice structure of the Eiffel Tower keeps it extremely stable. The tower never sways more than 12 centimetres, even in the strongest winds. Gustave Eiffel also used a very broad foundation for the tower, spreading its weight over several acres. The result of this is that the tower exerts roughly 200 pounds of pressure per square of 18 inches, which is the equivalent of a man sitting on a chair.

Sandwiched In
SANDWICHED IN: Absorbed by Color: Art in the 20th Century. With the tendency towards abstraction in the early 20th century, artists began an exploration of color for its own sake. Freed from the need to replicate the appearance of the natural world, painters examined color's scientific and physiological attributes and exploited its emotional qualities. Join Dorothy Cappadonna, docent at the Heckscher, for an overview of the exhibit, which continues through December 2. 12:10 p.m.
