Saint Vitus Presents:
Naam, Pinkish Black, SoftSpot
Beyond the conceptual language structure created by mankind, the definition of the name lies in internal rhythm, the internal sound that a man experiences. Those who embrace Naam have the key to the door of mysteries and miracles, as Naam exists in the Divine plane and shines through to the Physical plane, bringing healing and self-renewal.
Disgusted by the lack of heavy, psychedelic rock and roll, We deliver our deafening sermon to bring a new dawn for all civilization. The vast seas cannot drown Us, the darkest caverns cannot conceal Us, We will conquer insurmountable foes. We are war, We are peace, We are time and space, We are infinite, We are Naam.
SoftSpot is a band based out of Bushwick in Brooklyn, NY. Core members Sarah Kinlaw and Bryan Keller have been playing together since 2009 but have known each other since they were in the same kindergarten class. After teaming up with artist and drummer Andrew Spaulding in the Spring of 2011, the band evolved, saw the release of an EP entitled "NOUS" and continued touring with a visceral live performance. His departure led to the addition of drummer Blaze Bateh, transplant from Athens, GA and friend from touring the Southeast. SoftSpot's full length entitled Enso will come out on September 4th, 2012.

Opera 12 (32 Bit) vs. Opera 12 (64 Bit)
Following our Google Chrome (32 bit vs. 64 bit), Internet Explorer 9 (32 bit vs. 64 bit) and Firefox (32 bit vs. 64 bit) posts, here is another one: a comparison of last week's Opera 12 Lab builds.
Testing notes: both builds have identical build numbers and were tested with default installation settings.

Here comes an early Christmas present for all the Opera users, as Norwegian browser maker has just released the final version of Opera 11.60 for you to download.
What's new, you may ask? While it adds additional web standards support and fixes few bugs here and there, the most noticeable change in Opera 11.60 is a new mail reader, which is significantly improved when compared to previous versions of Opera.

Welcome Back Sasha Pavlovic
- Updated: December 11, 2011
From Chris Forsberg at ESPNBoston.com:
WALTHAM, Mass. — The Boston Celtics are set to re-sign veteran Sasha Pavlovic, reports ESPN.com's Marc Stein.
The ninth-year swingman joined the Celtics in early March and stayed on the roster for the remainder of the season (though he did not appear in the playoffs). In 17 regular-season games, he scored 31 total points in 149 minutes of action (19 of which came in the finale against the New York Knicks when he connected on four 3-pointers).
Nothing too crazy here. Pavlovic just brings added depth to the wing positions behind Paul Pierce, Jeff Green and Marquis Daniels. He's a defensive specialist and can knock down the occasional jump shot, so he's a decent option if we were to be plagued with injuries (knock on wood!).
Let's take a look at who we have as part of the team so far:
- Rajon Rondo
- Ray Allen
- Keyon Dooling
- E'Twaun Moore (unsigned)
- Gilbert Brown (camp invite)
- Paul Pierce
- Marquis Daniels
- Jeff Green
- Sasha Pavlovic
- Kevin Garnett
- Jermaine O'Neal
- Brandon Bass
- Chris Wilcox
- JaJuan Johnson (unsigned)
- Greg Stiemsma (camp invite)
Assuming that JaJuan Johnson and E'Twaun Moore end up on the roster while Gilbert Brown and Greg Stiemsma are axed before the season begins, there are still three roster spots available for this team. With those three spots, are there any preferable targets out there that the fans would like to see fill those voids?

Dems' 2016 Convention Chair Revisits Sites Of Columbus
Democratic National Committee delegation has returned to Columbus as a decision nears on a host city for the party's 2016 convention.
Listen to the Story
Columbus police say in too many neighborhoods, too many people bring in the new year with "celebratory gunfire." Last New Year's Eve, police responded to more than 200 reports of shots being fired.
"Falling bullets present a danger to everyone in their path."
Columbus Police Deputy Chief Ken Kuebler reminds that discharging firearms within city limits is illegal. He says firing a handgun into the air to bring in a new year is also dangerous.
"Alcohol and firearms are a terrible combination and New Year's Eve presents numerous examples nationwide, every year, of people who have accidentally shot themselves, sometimes fatally," says Kuebler
If someone else is injured or killed by a falling bulllet a suspect risks charges of assault or homicide. In 2005, a 16 year girl was killed by gunfire from partygoers across the street from her home. Kuebler says celebratory gunfire might also delay response times for medics and firefighters.
"That gunfire can cause our response to be significantly delayed. The need to protect responding medics can delay their response to non-gunfire when they get calls for assistance," adds Kuebler.
In addition to appeals from police, Billboards near seven busy intersections in the city will urge residents to save their bullets on New Year's Eve. The billboards are donated by a private firm.

Flickr Find: Even Stormtroopers prefer a Mac
You would think that, with his villainous personality, Darth Vader would force his stormtroopers to use Windows machines to keep them in a constant state of frustration. Instead, the Dark Lord allows at least one Empire soldier access to a lovely array of Macs. I bet all his trooper buddies secretly are jealous.
The above photo was taken by Danny Choo and was originally posted as part of a series on Japanese Mac Rooms. Did you know that TUAW has a Flickr pool? And that we encourage readers to submit their own Apple related images. Please share as we'd love to see your photos.

We had to sit on the ground and crane our necks skyward to see the explosions this weekend...but this guy took his drone to the skies for a unique perspective.
Happy Easter!
Easter might become your new favorite holiday AND you might appreciate bunny rabbits just a little bit more now. Enjoy
Just in case you're wondering...
It's true!!! Guys, it's our holiday. It's the man's answer to Valentine's Day.
It's exactly one month after V-Day. Women get their flowers, chocolate, jewelery, dinner at Red Lobster, etc on their day
It's Valentine's Day, the perfect day to watch a movie with the one you love, and [Celluloid Hero] is here to give you some ideas.
Another Christmas has come and go, and you didn't get what you wanted. Maybe Aunt Ruthy gave you a give card to Starbucks BUT you don't drink coffee. Maybe Grandma Sylvia gave you a Aeropostale gift card, but you don't shop there
Instead of just throwing the card in a drawer and forgetting about it. Why don't you use it for something that you REALLY want....PORN!!
Poor lil' guy...It really is such a helpless feeling when this does happen....Feel bad for the dude, but it is quite funny watching all the kids around him. I hope he felt better after taking care of "business"
Hope you had a very Merry Christmas holiday.
Facebook has a feature where they can generate a "Year in Review" based on all the posts that you put up during the year.
I'm not sure how they decide which ones to put up, but it is kind of cool.
My "Year in Review" features the new Hawk studio. Rebuilding the Seaside Boardwalk, my friends and family, and Ocean of Love. Click here to check it out

Denver boosted by Millan's play in net, beats Allen 2-1Allen Event Center Thu, Mar 28, 2013 Story by Narrative Science.
The Denver Cutthroats relied on the sparkling performance of Kieran Millan in net to grab a 2-1 win against the Allen Americans. The win gave Denver a 1-0 lead in the best of seven series. The Cutthroats pulled out the victory even though they were hit with 20 penalty minutes. Denver was led by Mikael Bedard, who tallied one goal. Bedard scored 16:28 into the second period to make the score 2-1 Denver. Luke Fulghum assisted on the tally. Denver also got a goal from Ben Wilson as well. In addition, Denver received assists from Jamie MacQueen and Gabe Gauthier, who each chipped in one. Allen forced the Cutthroats goalie Millan to work between the pipes, taking 35 shots. The Americans were led by Bryce Aneloski, who scored the team's only goal. Aneloski scored on the power play 9:38 into the first period to make the score 1-0 Allen. Allen had taken the advantage when Denver's MacQueen got sent off for hooking. Darryl Bootland provided the assist. Millan rejected 34 shots on goal for the Cutthroats. Denver registered one goal on four power play opportunities. Aaron Dell recorded 14 saves for the Americans. Allen incurred 18 minutes in penalty time with nine minors. |

Death of Ziad Abu Ein could work to Abbas' advantage
By Daoud Kuttab
The death of senior Palestinian official Ziad Abu Ein, while he attempted to plant olive trees in Palestinian territory, is sure to reignite calls for a major discussion of Palestinian resistance tactics and strategies. Palestinian nonviolent efforts have been going on for years without producing concrete results.
Israel's oppressive efforts to stifle Palestinian resistance have been seen in places likeNi'llin, Nabi Musa, Nahalin and other villages where protests have been taking place every Friday for years. The demonstrations, largely against the separation wall and confiscation of Palestinian lands, have included Israeli peace supporters and international solidarity activists. Media have also had a presence, regularly filming and reporting on Israeli actions, although with time the impact of these actions diminished, in part because of the absence of fatalities. A Dec. 10 confrontation between Palestinians and Israeli forces, however, did result in a fatal injury to a senior Palestinian official.
Abu Ein had been a minister without portfolio in the Palestinian government and head of the Commission Against the Separation Wall and Settlements. Abu Ein, also a member of the Fatah Revolutionary Council (FRC), was declared dead at a Ramallah hospital after suffering serious injuries in a confrontation with Israeli troops. Continue Reading »

Wizard World Reports Continued Growth in Third Quarter 2014

Press Release:
Wizard World Reports Continued Growth in Third Quarter 2014
67% Increase from Q3 2013
El Segundo, CA, November 5, 2014 – Wizard World, Inc. (OTCBB: WIZD) (the "Company"), a leading provider of Comic Cons and pop culture conventions across the world, today announced that the Company has released its third quarter 2014 financial results in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2014 (the "Q3 2014").
Highlights include:
The Company hosted five events in Q3 2014: San Antonio, Chicago, Chicago Socialcon, Richmond, and Nashville, bringing fans together with their favorite celebrities, artists, exhibitors in a pop culture and multimedia experience. In the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company hosted thirteen events, compared to six events in the comparable period in 2013.
Convention revenue for the period ended September 30, 2014 was $6,863,125, an increase of $2,749,944 (or 67%) from $4,113,181 reported in the comparable period in 2013.The significant increase in revenue in 2014 is primarily accredited to better advertised and marketed events including more programming, an exciting list of celebrities and artists, and an increasing fan base, which all translates to higher revenue growth. Convention revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $19,174,263, as compared to $8,808,073 reported in the comparable period in 2013, an increase of $10,339,190 (or 117%) for the nine month period.
Operating expenses were $1,712,934 in Q3 2014, as compared to $928,776 for the same period in 2013, which was the result of increases in staffing and employment costs due to the increased number and size of the events. Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, was $4,936,834, as compared to $2,478,819 reported in the comparable period in 2013.
Income from operations was $668,174 in Q3 2014, as compared to $1,096,824 for the comparable period in 2013. The decrease is primarily attributable to the overall increase in operating expenses required to support the increase in conventions and the expansion of operations. Income from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, was $2,120,218 as compared to $929,250 reported in the comparable period in 2013. The increase is primarily attributable to running more events and more profitable events during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
The Company reported a net income of $537,804 or income per share of $0.01 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to a net loss of $(1,215,115) or loss per share of ($0.03), in the comparable period in 2013. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, was $1,989,548 or income per basic share of $0.04, as compared to a net loss $(3,294,472) or loss per share of $(0.09), reported in the comparable period in 2013. Income in 2014 was primarily generated from convention revenue and stronger profit margin versus the loss in 2013 which was non-cash generated from a loss on the fair value of the Company's derivative liabilities. By the end of 2013, the Company successfully extinguished all derivative instruments.
As of September 30, 2014, the Company had working capital of $4,464,681 and as of November 4, 2014, there were 51,341,524 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

"We will strive to continue to deliver the ultimate fan experience and drive revenues to build shareholder value."

San Diego Workforce Partnership affirms Comic-Con's value at San Diego Convention Center
SAN DIEGO, Nov. 5, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — San Diego Workforce Partnership (SDWP), which serves as a vital source of information on the San Diego region's labor market, has recently published an article reviewing Comic-Con's impact on San Diego's workforce and the San Diego Convention Center's staffing in particular. Comic-Con, held annually in San Diego and organized by a nonprofit educational organization, is a convention celebrating the historic and ongoing contribution of comics to art and culture.
SDWP's article calls attention to the estimated $320,000 in wages Comic-Con brings to the Convention Center's 500-member staff. In addition to those staffers, the Convention Center hires temporary employees and posts job listings prior to Comic-Con to cover needs that the regular staff cannot. These positions include engineers, laborers, electricians, and International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) union workers, to name a few.
According to the San Diego Convention Center Corporation, Comic-Con's 2014 show has been projected to have an impact of almost $178 million on the local economy. The actual economic impact may be larger as it has since been speculated that the factors used to calculate the figure did not take into account ancillary spending by locals, out-of-town visitors and corporations, and companies that buy advertising on buildings, lamp posts, restaurant buyouts and activations of local park space and private venues.
"Year after year, it is not lost on me the amazing number of talented people it takes to make this show happen," said David Glanzer, spokesperson and director of marketing and public relations for Comic-Con. "In addition to Comic-Con's thousands of invaluable volunteers and staff, local businesses and organizations hire additional workers who make sure the event and the city are represented in the best possible light. It really is a terrific collaborative effort."
What is not measured in the workforce study is the economic benefit of worldwide media attention focused on America's Finest City during the four days of the convention and throughout the year. "We never dreamed that our local annual convention would evolve over its forty-plus years into the worldwide celebration that it is today," said Glanzer.

text: Scholar and orator, born Gerson, near Rheims, France, 1363; died Lyons, France, 1429. He was a friend and pupil of Peter d'Ailly, Chancellor of the Paris University, whom he succeeded in 1395, and is particularly known for the zeal and energy with which he labored to bring to an end the Western Schism. He took a very important part in the Council of Constance (1415), where his conduct was in keeping with his principles, that the Church and the ecumenical council are above the pope, as he saw no other means of ending the schism and of restoring unity. After the council, he had to take refuge in Bavaria to escape the wrath of John the Fearless, Duke of Burgundy, whom he had taken to task for the murder of the Duke of Orleans. After John's death he retired to Lyons where he spent the last ten years of his life in a monastery in which his own brother was prior. He delighted to teach catechism to little children. His principal works are: "De auferibilitate Papre," a treatise destined to prepare the Council of Pisa; "De Potestate Ecclesire," in which he professes erroneous doctrines concerning the doctrine of infallibility; "De Consolatione Theologiae," an imitation of the "De Consolatione Philosophire" of Boethius; and "De parvulis ad Christum trahendis." He was also among the first to recognize and to proclaim the supernatural mission of Joan of Arc. He is not, however, the author of the "Following of Christ," which has been often attributed to him. He was hailed as a great and learned doctor, an ardent lover of souls, and a model minister of the Gospel.New Catholic Dictionary

hdl,ldl and trig, Nov 20, 2007 I see an hiv doc every 3 months and get the usual tcell and vl plus the usual blood work .MY doc never orders cholesterol or trig tests.. Is this standard practice and if not how often do you order these tests? ( I recall all my prev hiv docs including those tests at every blood draw at the 3 month intervals) |
Response from Dr. Young
Thanks for your post. Fasting lipids (total, LDL, HDL cholesterol and triglycerides) should be routinely checked in patients at least annually, more frequently among persons with known cardiovascular disease risk or in the months following initiation of antiretroviral therapy. It probably isn't necessary to check lipids quarterly, unless there are ongoing management issues. BY | ||||||||||

Bedford apartment complex sells for $49M - 0 Comments
A Bedford developer has sold a 188-unit apartment complex to a Connecticut real estate investor.
Criterion Development Partners, partnering with Northwestern Mutual, sold the Village at Taylor Pond to an affiliate of Hartford-based Cornerstone Real Estate Advisers.
The sale price was not disclosed by broker CBRE New England, but real estate records show the transaction was valued at about $49 million.
The Village at Taylor Pond, built in 2008 off Route 3, consists of six three-story apartment buildings. The development is close to the Burlington Mall.


text: In this week's Pope Center Clarion Call, Jane Shaw discusses ideas for change that she has come across in several recent higher-education conferences. The ideas she likes all have a "bottom-up" character rather than a "top-down" one. I strongly agree that beneficial change is apt to come from the "little platoons" and not from higher ed's generals. For the most part, the generals are too busy with fundraising and their obsession over "diversity" to do any good.

This is the KGB travel operation ... spy me
In from the cold: Now they are no longer spreading the communist web old agents have turned to revealing their secrets
But the most bizarre book of the season, which was launched with a signing ceremony at the Moskva book shop this week, has to be The KGB's Travel Guide to the Cities of the World.
For decades, KGB agents were among the very few Soviet citizens privileged enough to experience life on the other side of the Iron Curtain. Now, seven retired spies offer their tips on how to dress, where to eat and what to see to a new generation of Russians who are about to travel abroad.
The book, published with the permission of the Lubyanka, headquarters of the security services now called the FSB, is light-hearted and gives away no real secrets. Former agents in Paris, Rome, London, Cairo, New York, Mexico City and Bangkok simply recount anecdotes from their days in the field.
For a travel guide, the book is short on maps and pictures. But it costs only 19,500 roubles (pounds 3), well within the reach of ordinary Russians, most of whom are armchair travellers as their meagre salaries do not stretch to foreign jaunts.
The section on Cairo is introduced by Lev Bausin, who appears in a passport photograph looking unmistakably Soviet despite his disguise of Arab headgear. Mikhail Brazhelonov reminisces about the wonderful moules a la provencale he ate in Paris, but advises his fellow Russians to seek their restaurants away from the Montmartre area because it is overrun with noisy tourists.
His colleague in New York, Oleg Brykin, had a harder time. He remembers that his KGB allowance was so small that he had to take sandwiches with him on a train trip to Chicago. On another occasion, he nearly got eaten himself when he went to meet an agent by the lions' cage at the Bronx Zoo, only to discover this was a park where the animals roamed freely.
For British readers, of course, the most interesting chapter is Mikhail Lyubimov's memoir of his time in London in the early 1960s before he was expelled for "activities incompatible with his diplomatic status". After that, his career went from bad to worse, as he was the careless controller of the spy Oleg Gordievsky who spectacularly defected to Britain in 1985. But Colonel Lyubimov, who has already helped to supplement his meagre KGB pension by publishing one book of memoirs, looks back on it all with a gentle humour.
In order to contribute to the guidebook, he was allowed to return to Britain and he goes down memory lane with an old friend identified only as Chris from Hampstead. The two are riding into central London from Heathrow Airport. "Do you know who you've got in the back of the cab?" Chris asks the Scottish taxi driver. "He's a former KGB colonel, a dangerous spy who in his time recruited Tories left and right."
"Good on yer," says the driver. "Those damned Tories have ruined the country."
"Poor people from the north of England do not like the Tories," Colonel Lyubimov explains to his readers. "I felt very satisfied; I did not work in vain."
The colonel returns to all his old haunts, including Hyde Park where he used to chat up British women, passing himself off as a Swede. He visits the House of Commons and describes the debates there, which once thrilled him, as tame in comparison with the fist fights in today's Russian parliament.
Chris wants to take him to the musical, Les Miserables, but he says he has had his fill of revolutions and prefers to eat fish and chips, the best of an otherwise dull British cuisine, and go to pubs.
In the Sherlock Holmes pub on Baker Street he advises vodka-drinking Russians to persevere with whisky as it will reward them in the end. "Scottish whisky demands patience," he says. "It's like learning to love Richard Strauss. When you acquire the taste, you will go from Johnny Walker to the single malts."
The only piece of trade-craft that Colonel Lyubimov reveals is that Harrods is an excellent place to lose anyone who might be following you because it is crowded and has many entrances, exits, emergency exits and changing rooms. But he advises against shoplifting there. Because of the threat of Irish bombs, he says, the shop is as riddled with security personnel as a "cake is stuffed with raisins".
Colonel Lyubimov, who confesses to a "strange love for England", is, in many ways, more English than the average contemporary English person, although he mistakes Dr Samuel Johnson for a "great Victorian" in his section on the famous Cheshire Cheese pub off Fleet Street.
The colonel goes shopping to replenish his wardrobe with his favourite flannel trousers and tweed jacket, constantly quotes T S Eliot as he wanders the streets of London, and expresses nostalgia for empire - not only Soviet, but British too.
Some of the new Russians disturb him in his hotel. One asks him in broken English if she can borrow money until the next morning to continue her gambling. He replies in his best Oxford accent that he only has a credit card on him.
"Leave him alone," says the woman's husband. "Can't you see that he's just a mean Englishman?"

Martin O'Neill
What Price Literacy?
An extraordinary time you have waited
Quiet, in no kind of rush
You must be pleased now that it's over
Your time in the African bush
The grass stalks that rippled around you
The animals passing you by
The fierce yellow sun beating down
From the blue of your African sky.
When you finally burst into flower,
In blossoms of yellow and red
The eight year old girl who unearthed you
Couldn't read the notice that said
Achtung! Minen!

Wahab Abdul (3/19/2012 10:39:00 AM) A BRILLIANT PIECE OF POETRY, GOOD MEANING AND HEAVY IMPACT ON THE MIND. (Report) Reply
John Raubenheimer (2/11/2012 7:33:00 AM) Yes a great poem. A powerful, a shocking poem. I believe I've read this before. (Report) Reply
Elena Sandu (2/7/2012 7:45:00 PM) One of the most painful peace manifests I have ever read. You surely know how to manipulate a soul needs, rivers of tears are not enough to wash the sadness brought by dormant mines, what is the use of literacy if we cannot protect the child? Thank you.

The Wikipedia definition of patience is a "good-natured tolerance of delay or incompetence." (Well, if that doesn't just say it all!) Certainly patience as a mother does encompass this behavior, but what about patience for ourselves as we try to figure out this motherhood gig, or patience with long term situations that aren't going to resolve any time soon, or patience through perspective – recognizing that each season of mothering will pass? These are the many faces of patience we will be covering this month, so get ready for some great insights from our Power of Mom authors who are struggling to develop patience just as much as you!

This is what UFC is all about. Tweet Pin It Related Posts Fighter Talk Renato Babalu Sobral Signs Contract With Strikeforce By Bruno Sep 9, 2007 Fight Shows Mayhem Miller Tries To Describe What Bully Beatdown Is About By Bruno Mar 3, 2009 Fighter Talk Team Black House's Ed Soares Talks About His Favorite ... By Bruno Oct 10, 2012 12 Comments Joe Dog December 22, 2012 If this video clip was about comebacks, the the Big Nog vs Mir clip would be appropriate. Granted, Noguiera beat Mir up pretty good in the second fight, but ultimately lost to a broken arm submission. Strange choice of footage given the segment was about "finishers". Should have shown Mir breaking Nog's arm. That's a definitive "finish". Reply Fightforce December 22, 2012 I agree with Henricks Reply a nga thowed up in da game December 22, 2012 ROFL, JONES APPLAUDING HIMSELF, WHAT A DOUCHE. Reply shocktime December 22, 2012 Heavy weights for sure. They're just so huge! The human skull just cannot take the kind of power shots these guys deliver. Feather weights have the same skull thickness they just don't hit as hard. Reply ken shiro December 22, 2012 Bruno>>happy holidays sir and thank you for all your hard work>>>screen shot of Briiteny is awesome!! Bruno: No problem and glad to have you with us. Reply marvelous mad madam mim December 22, 2012 best finisher of all time is Fedor Reply dumbass December 22, 2012 NOOOOOo fuckin way is Jones the best finisher, he is good at finishing, but most are sloppy. Anderson is hands down the best, BJs RNC is death, Aldo super explosive, Hendo and Hendricks punch of death, Most heavyweights are monsters. So many people outclass Jones as a great finisher. Reply PUssylipsbjj December 22, 2012 dumbass is a dumbass… Reply Tempted December 23, 2012 They keep showing clips of Big Nog in a fight that he was submitted. Why? They also showed the illegal knee from A Silva on Chael. I agree with the fighters, but the retard that put these clips together needs to find another job. Jon Jones is probably the greatest finisher, and he knows it. Nothing wrong with that. He has finished all the finishers. Rampage, Shogun, Hamill, Vera, Matyushenko, Machida, Vitor. How can you not call someone who finished all of those monsters and legends of the sport the greatest finisher? Reply JO December 23, 2012 I wouldn't even put Jones in the top 10. Way to pick yourself Jones. Ego much? Finishers: Chuck Liddel. Browne. Lytle. Those are just some not mentioned. Reply Joe Dog December 23, 2012 If Chael Sonnen would finish talking, he could claim a finish. Reply TheKungFuLowKick December 24, 2012 @Tempted Do you realise that bringing up a knee that happened 6 months ago makes you look really stupid.Do you still talk about Condit and Diaz??Get over it.Your WWE shitalker Chael Sonnen lost and he will never get a title shot in his life again.BTW the knee was legal.But I guess you don't know the rules.
