A cheery 1910 Beaux-Arts facade and snappily dressed doormen welcome you into a lobby dominated by a French inglenook fireplace, vaulted ceilings painted with whimsical murals of hot-air balloons, a marble staircase, and a large metal baobab tree dedicated to hotelier Bill Kimpton. After a major renovation by designer Andrea Dawson, the Monaco and its notable style has jumped up a notch. Individually cut, multicolored wallpaper stripes down bedroom walls accent bold pillows
and furnishings straight out of a globetrekker's collection—think evil eye–etched curtains and aluminum-wrapped armoires. Outer rooms feature bay-window seats overlooking the bustling theater district. If you didn't bring a pet, request a "companion goldfish." Guests have cheered the hotel's staff for its "amazing service" and "attention to detail" and praised the Grand Café and Bar, which serves French/Californian cuisine. Take advantage of complimentary access to the recently redone Spa, where you can soak, steam, or bake to your heart's content from 6 am to 10 pm. The hotel offers free coffee, tea, and wine at various times throughout the day.

Rhino's Rub was inspired by tasting many different foods from around the world. Throughout my travels to over 30 countries including: United Kingdom, Columbia, Peru, Thailand, Australia, Afghanistan, Germany, India, Mexico, France, Israel, Egypt, Kenya and Morocco, I was intrigued with how the flavors and methods of cooking varied by each country and region.
Growing up, I often watched my mom cook and I came to appreciate and admire the amount of dedication she put into making every meal. I have particularly been impressed with the strong, positive impact that good tasting food has on people. I have since gained experience cooking a myriad of meals and experimented with many countries' common seasonings and spices. I've combined my passion for cooking, American made products, and world-wide flavors to give you a little something extra to enjoy with your family and friends…

New Chelsea signing Deco hopes Frank Lampard decides to stay at Stamford Bridge.
"I think I can be compatible with Lampard on the pitch," said Deco. "That is of course something that the trainer (Luiz Felipe Scolari) has to decide - he is in charge.
"But I have seen a lot of Chelsea games on the TV and together Frank and I can create a lot of danger for other teams."
Deco revealed that he could have been a Chelsea player four years earlier.
"I received a great offer from Chelsea because Jose Mourinho wanted me in his new project.
"I even talked with [Chelsea owner Roman] Abramovich but Porto already had agreed a deal with Barcelona and I had given my word."

Former Olympic figure skater Michelle Kwan is back out in front of the camera where she once won over the hearts of millions, this time appearing in a new television ad for her husband, Clay Pell, a Democrat running for governor.
The 30-second spot talks of Pell's support for women's equality issues. It opens with Kwan introducing herself to viewers as she stands on the edge of a salt marsh:
"One of the reasons I'm so excited about my husband Clay Pell's candidacy is because Clay is committed to a women's-equality agenda that strengthens protection for women in areas like pay equity, sexual harassment and domestic violence."
As Kwan talks video rolls of Pell speaking to various women in several different venues.
Kwan continues: "Clay knows Rhode Island can be ready for tomorrow by making it one of the best places for women to live and work. Clay believes what I believe: We need equality for all women."
The ad ends with a snippet of the smiling Pell couple sandwiched between aerial views of the Providence waterfront and Beavertail light house.

For complete details of the PhD program, including graduate courses offered, please see the PhD information in the Current students section of our site.
As a doctoral student in an intrinsically interdisciplinary program, you do not follow a set curriculum but are guided by your own Program Plan – your self-created guide to your studies. In your first term, you will enrol in the program's one required course: ENVS 8102, the PhD seminar. Working with the seminar collective and your assigned Interim Advisor, you will develop the initial version of your Plan, which will include brief statements about:
Through refining, elaborating and following your plan, you will progress to the next stage of your studies. As part of this process you may choose to take courses in the Faculty, in other graduate programs at York, or, with approval, at other universities. You may also participate in other educational experiences that will help you achieve your intellectual goals.
In consultation with your Advisor, you are encouraged to read and explore in a wide but focused way, and to learn to draw out prevailing themes, issues and debates. Given the interdisciplinary nature of the Faculty and diversity of Program Plans, the comprehensive exams can take many forms. Usually students focus on two to four comprehensive areas, one of which may be methodological. However, there are no set areas – instead, these are defined through the development of your Program Plan and in discussion with your Advisory Committee members.
You will research and write your dissertation under the guidance of your Supervisor and Supervisory Committee.

Mo Wilkerson @mowilkerson Has First Career Sack, Tweets Shoulder Ok
Posted by Erik Manassy on Sep 19, 2011 in Main, News | 0 comments
Rookie Muhammad Wilkerson, who recorded his first career sack Sunday, had an X-Ray on his shoulder after injuring it in the last few minutes of the game. But he said "everything is fine." That's good, but you know me, I had to ask him MYSELF and he repeated it on twitter.
e_man @mowilkerson GREAT Sack yesterday! How's the Shoulder? 9/19/11 8:53 AM |
mowilkerson @e_man thanks n it's fine 9/19/11 8:56 AM |
So how excited are you to see a number one draft pick kick some ass during a game that means it. I know we have many that contribute, eh hem Revis, but I'm talking about some of our recent picks. I know Vernon Gholston has NOTHING to do with Mo, but when I saw him destroy the QB for a safety LIVE at the game, I couldn't help think about the bust.
I wasn't the only one. As I'm thinking it, I heard someone behind me say "Hey, his first sack of his career and he just passed Vernon Gholston in the all-time sack list for the Jets." Ouch.
mowilkerson Great win today!!!!!! 9/18/11 8:16 PM |
mowilkerson Felt awesome getting that sack n putting points on the board for the team 9/18/11 8:17 PM |

This is the second of the plants in my garden I'm not sure about. If you could let me know what it is and how to care for it that would be great. It is very overgrown so how and when is the best time to cut it back? Thanks! |

what happened to wanda??? looks like rose of Sharon ... the family noted in the prior .... it would be better.. for pix.. to position the sun behind you ... such shining thru the flower makes it difficult ... also ... let us know where you are ... sometimes it matters ... ken |
I am no expert (far from it) but there was a HUGE one in our yard when we moved in and I cut it to the ground in early spring and it came back early summer and still bloomed. |
- Posted by AFishCalledAmy none (My Page) on Thu, Aug 21, 14 at 11:57
Thanks for your help so far... The sun has gone in now so hopefully this is a better pic of the flower. I'm in the UK near London. |
- Posted by AFishCalledAmy none (My Page) on Thu, Aug 21, 14 at 12:01
Yes, much better and more distinguishable. I'm afraid I don't have a 100% id, but I think it may be a lavatera. If that's true, it dies down in the fall/winter, which would be the best time to deal with it. I bet with these better pics someone else will come along with a sure id. |
It's Lavatera olbia - a common plant in UK gardens aka Tree Mallow. They are semi evergreen in mild gardens and probably totally evergreen, if a bit ratty, in London. |

Global Village
The Global Village is open to new students, American and International, in ANY major or college. The main requirement is a sincere interest in meeting and learning about people from other countries and cultures. We endeavor to pair American and International students in each room. All Global Village students take one academic class and a service-learning class together, which helps us bond as a group and also get out into the community. Our most recent project was gleaning leftover food from area farms to be delivered to our regional food bank. The required academic class may change, but it will always be a class that "counts" for university general education requirements.
Statistics and Information
- 40 students: a small community in Kohl Hall.
- Countries represented so far have included China, Dominican Republic, Ethiopia, Ghana, Great Britain, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Korea, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, and Wales.
- Fees: All students - $180 per semester

Wonderful map imo. I find it more casual then the average Summoner rift games that I played. However, unlike the Crystal Scar, it still has suprisingly wonderful teamfights similar to Summoner's Rift. I hope progress is made so it can appear perhaps along under Crystal Scar with its own Aram mode option.

I love the new map! it makes me practice champions i haven't played in forever. As well as all the diff options you have. When are you getting it out of the custom made games and into the pvp games??? Or is that ever happening?
Great Iniquity
Are there plans to change the minimap of proving grounds later so that it only shows the turrain itself? I really don't like how the mini map has 2/3'd of the turrain just "brown'd out" leaving only the middle strip. Couldn't the mini map zoom in a bit or at least add more asthetics on the sides. Obviously this is not game changing but it just seems like it could use a facelift.
Severely lacking
loving it
@Brackhar are there any plans to implement a way for dc'ed characters to not be able to get gibbed while in the spawn pool? I recently had a game where a Karthus who never joined was killed 3 times due to enemy fire.

New PHP Licensing Option for Cloud Computing
Zend recently announced the "Zend Unlimited Subscription" for its PHP product line as a way to address questions of licensing when the number of running instances of software is highly variable - as it is in the Cloud.
Both Virtualization and Cloud Computing technologies pose significant challenges to traditional software licensing schemes (e.g. one license per user, one license per CPU or server). Both technologies create situations where the number of instances of any given piece of software can vary, and the spawning of new instance might cause a licensing violation if sufficient licenses are not "on hand."
This is not a new problem. InfoQ reported, in 2008, Microsoft's initial effort to clarify licensing of its products in virtualized environments. Others have raised the need to rethink software licensing because of dramatic changes in multi-core and hypervisor technologies as early as 2006. SaaS and Open Source licensing are alternatives to vendor solutions for variable software licensing problems.
The Zend announcement was for licensing of its PHP product line that includes an application server (Zend Server), a multi-server application manager (Zend Server Cluster Manager), and a PHP IDE (Zend Studio). Support for these products also has an unlimited license option. The importance of this announcement is proportional to the degree to which PHP has become a widespread standard for server side applications. Zend characterizes itself as "The PHP Company" and the unlimited licensing option is expected to provide a competitive advantage when companies adopt PHP for server-side Web applications.
Licensing agreements are almost always subject to negotiation and it would be interesting to know what kinds of solutions your company has explored as they move into Cloud and virtualized data center situations.

On the Steelers: Running backs always available
On the Steelers: Running backs always available
Sunday, February 20, 2011 By Ed Bouchette, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/11051/1126435-66.stm The loss of Frank Summers to the San Diego Chargers and the possible loss of free agent Mewelde Moore shines a light on the Steelers halfback position. They are down to just three -- workhorse Rashard Mendenhall and two young backs, Isaac Redman and Jonathan Dwyer (they also signed former Kansas State back James Johnson recently to a futures contract). But then, you can find a good back almost anywhere, and the Steelers have been proof of that for 30 years. Runners might not be easy to keep for a long time because of injuries and age and how it can sap the talent right out of a good back, such as what happened to Once Fast Willie Parker, but finding them is not difficult. We are not speaking about great running backs, those like Jim Brown and, yes, O.J. Simpson, but merely good ones. Tom Donahoe, former Steelers director of football operations, famously said once that wide receivers were a dime a dozen and he, too, was not talking about the great ones. He meant good, solid, every-day wide receivers. You can almost put running backs in that category as well. Take the Steelers. Can anyone remember when they did not have a good running back for a long period, two or three years? Since the 1970s, they have not gone long at all without a quality NFL running back and their performance through the years shows that. They have had some better than others, like Hall of Famer Franco Harris and Hall of Fame finalist Jerome Bettis, but they've never lined up with bad running backs. You could argue that in the late 1980s and early '90s they were a little confused about the position. They drafted Tim Worley on the first round in 1989 and Merril Hoge on the 11th in 1987 and their philosophy was so messed up on offense that often they misused both. And then Worley pursued the illegal substance path and that was that for him. Hoge was a good back on some bad teams. Another in that category was Frank Pollard in the early to mid-1980s. Pollard was a good back on many mediocre teams and practically salvaged the Steelers bread-and-butter running game after Harris left and Walter Abercrombie did not live up to expectations. Between Harris and Mendenhall, the Steelers best running backs came almost as an afterthought. Pollard (1980) and Hoge were drafted in the 11th round. Barry Foster was drafted in the fifth round in 1990. Earnest Jackson was picked up in a trade for virtually nothing. Same with Jerome Bettis. John L. Williams was signed for a song as a free agent. Willie Parker was undrafted as was fullback Dan Kreider. Between Harris and Mendenhall, the Steelers drafted three backs on the first round and none reached 1,000 yards rushing -- Greg Hawthorne (1979), Walter Abercrombie (1982) and Worley (1989). Hawthorne and Worley were relative busts. Mendenhall has proven worthy of a No. 1 pick, but he does not have the look of a great back, merely a good one. Redman is another undrafted back who has been more than productive when the Steelers allow him to run. Redman looks a little like Pollard, bull-running, straight-ahead backs who will get you more yards than you think they should. The Steelers have had other backs come and go, including one who earned a Super Bowl ring with them as a practice squad player in 2008 and another as a productive member of the Green Bay Packers the past season, John Kuhn. The Steelers released him, another undrafted running back. Since 1970, when the NFL merged with the AFL, the Steelers have more yards rushing than any other team -- 87,624. The Cowboys are second, 5,000 yards behind. The Steelers also have more yards rushing than any other team since 1992, when Bill Cowher took over and rediscovered their running game. And even with the presence for most of the past decade of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, the Steelers still rank third in this century in rushing yards with 22,884, a mere 502 behind leader Denver. An offseason without OTAs? Some Steelers already are talking about how to stay in shape and keep their skills sharp during an extended lockout by owners. It would be one thing for a lockout to last a few months, quite another for it to last through August. Hines Ward and Ben Roethlisberger have discussed having some minicamps on their own for the quarterbacks and receivers in the spring. "Ben and I discussed it. He talked about getting together with the wide receivers," Ward said. They suggested meeting at different spots -- all gathering in Pittsburgh and then all gathering in the hometown of each receiver for various workouts. Ward said no plans were made, just discussed. But if the spring drills known as OTAs are affected, the players want to do something. "We have to," Ward said. "It's more for the younger guys. They won't have any workout programs. A lot of those guys have been going since the combine last year, training hard and then going 28 weeks of football." Whatever the players manage to do if there is an extended lockout will not match what happened during the last work stoppage of 1987. The players struck after the first two games of the regular season and there was great animosity as the NFL planned to continue games with "replacement" or "scab" players, depending on your point of view. It became quite heated and sometimes physical in some parts of the country, including cross-state in Philadelphia. It never got bad in Pittsburgh -- one reason because the Steelers smartly moved their replacement training camp to Johnstown. Also, quietly, Dan Rooney slipped Tunch Ilkin a key to the grass practice field outside Three Rivers Stadium. Ilkin, the team's starting right tackle and player rep, was told by Rooney to keep the players together and practice and not tell anyone about it. It would be nice to say it worked and they went on to a great season after their replacement players went 2-1 during the strike games. The Steelers did win their first game back, against Cincinnati. They went on to lose five of their next nine to finish 8-7 and miss the playoffs. Ed Bouchette: email@example.com. Read more: http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/11051...#ixzz1EVTrLTDL |

Not knocking Mendenhall (who has received quite a few knocks following hie fumble in the Super Bowl) - just noting Ed. B. seems to contradict himself in the article |

No higher than second worst - Cowher admitted he screwed up with Zeroue and gave up after one season - Cowher tried to make Kordell his QB from 1997 through week 3 of the 2002 season

Re: On the Steelers: Running backs always available
mendenhall is an elite back running behind a not so elite offensive line. if our line stayed healthy this year he would have done a lot better. he was on pace in week 4 to be one of the top 3 rushers in the nfl

He also doesn't have a coaching staff dedicated to giving him the ball, unless they absolutely have to do so (like the first four weeks of this past year.) He'll never be an "elite" back under Arians. Can't and won't happen.

Re: On the Steelers: Running backs always available
and he specifically noted that "great" backs were not easy to find, but good ones were and then went on to support his point. If he had said "great backs were easy to find" then you would be right. And I totally agree with him. Mendy is just a good back. And I don't see him becoming a "great" back. And, even if he does end up in the top 3, or whatever, in rushing yards some season(s), it still won't mean he is a "great back." Any of these backs "great?" 1. Arian Foster HOU 2. Jamaal Charles KC 3. Michael Turner ATL The are the top 3 rushers this year. These guys? 1. Chris Johnson TEN 2. Steven Jackson STL 3. Thomas Jones NYJ CJ might be if he keeps going. Down year this year. Point is, you can be top 3 and not be a great back. |

We have a 1939 federal style home with box gutters on the front. The PO replaced the gutters with aluminum on the back and sides. It's obvious that the gutters need some work, but we are still waiting for a professional to come next week and evaluate them. (We have a slate roof that is also being evaluated.) My question is, for those of you whose homes had box gutters, was it expensive/worthwhile to re-line them? Or would it be better to replace them with something else? Is there an alternative that looks like a box gutter but is more efficient? Our GC who is working on the house is recommending that we replace them, since we have forests surrounding our home, and the gutters tend to get clogged quickly. Any input would be appreciated. |

I've got a Federal style house too...1830's. Our gutters had been replaced long ago by PO however they were regular gutters. The pitch of the roof and the amount of trees we have regular gutters were inefficient. We spent the extra bucks and did commerical size gutters on the front and it's made a huge difference. Come spring we're hoping to do the back gutters. |
Bulldinkie, I love copper spouts! Carol, what kind of commercial size gutters did you get? Do they look like box gutters? Thanks for your input! |

Elljays As you probably know by know, relining box gutters with copper or galvanized is expensive. We were in a similar situation not long ago. We could not afford the relining, but didn't want to take the box gutters out which would change the whole look of the house. It isn't perfect, but the guy who did our slate roof gave the gutters a good cleaning, cut out the really bad parts, patched with fiberglass, then coated them all with pickup bed liner (Herculiner in our case). There are still a few leaks that will need to be touched up next spring, but all in all it was an inexpensive fix until we can accumulate the cash to reline the gutters. |
Sycamore, you're right it IS expensive! We can't afford to do it, unfortunately. We have two valley gutters in the front pediment of our home that we are going to reline, which will be expensive enough. We're going to replace the other gutters. |

My 1907 house still has its original box gutters, and I wouldn't replace them for anything! The corners leaked some, but my roofer relined them with a rubber membrane...no more leaks, and it wasn't expensive. The best thing about box gutters is their efficiency--they don't clog because they are so wide--mine are a foot wide, and if the downspouts are kept clear, never overflow. My neighbor's house has had its box gutters removed and replaced with modern metal ones, and she complains of leaks due to water now getting close to the foundation. Also, having had the amputation, it changes the whole look of the house--box gutters add an extra depth to the eaves and a slight sweep to the lower edge of the roof which really sets off a house! Don't replace, reline with rubber, and put metal downspout screens in the outlets...it is a LOT cheaper than removing and replacing with new gutters--if your contractor suggests such things for an old house, find a new contractor, one who probably isn't getting a percentage from a gutter dealer. |
- Posted by sycamore_guy (My Page) on Sat, Dec 10, 05 at 11:44
Columbus Do you know if your roofer had the rubber membrane pre-cut to size for the gutters or had to cut it himself? I have been thinking about using rubber membrane as a more permanent fix than the pickup truck bed liner. The membrane rolls I have seen are much wider than needed for gutters. I cannot figure out how to cut long lengths to the right width. |
- Posted by Columbusguy (My Page) on Sun, Dec 11, 05 at 23:38
Sycamore, My roofer was an independent one not affiliated with any company--he had only two relatives for assistants, so I'm sure he got it and cut it himself. I'm not sure what he paid for it, but it couldn't have been a lot since he reroofed my entire house for $3000. I do know it wasn't the 'ice dam' shielding type of rubber, because he had to tack it on the outer edge of the gutter where he couldn't get his glue to stick. The inner edge is under the first row of roof shingles. I'd venture to say that he probably used a heavy-duty linoleum cutter knife for cutting it to fit. The rubber has been up for over ten years, and shows no sign of deterioration. I can see three of the four sides from my attic dormers, and there are only a couple spots where wrinkles are visible from the installation. I should have had him do the porch gutter, but I was planning on replacing it with wood at the time. Picture is crappy, but it was taken by the city...:) |

Thanks Columbus. Nice house! |

An update for anyone stumbling across this post - Rather than put in a second coat of pickup truck bed liner, we coated with a liquid rubber (EPDM). It is messy to apply and is a two-part compound (sort of like epoxy) so you have to use what you mix. However, the section I have coated is completely leak free. Supposedly this is exactly the same stuff as the rubber membrane, but in a paint-on form. I won't know the longevity of it for a while, but so far it works. It can be purchased in white, black or gray, so you can match the gutter lining. |

Our box gutter leaked and caused my ceiling to collapse! The insurance adjuster suggested to cover the box gutters up with wood by attaching it to the roof and extending it over the box gutters,shingle it and then placing seamless gutters at the end! |

The 2013 UFC Halfsies Awards
Who is going to be MVP? Who will win Rookie of the Year? These are questions that get asked even before the first stick-and-ball game is played, and continue to be talked about until the hardware is officially handed out.
Things are a little different in the UFC.
Between injuries, a rising crop of new talent, and the inherent unpredictability when a cage door closes, the UFC crystal ball becomes uniquely cloudy. Heading into this year's NBA season, tipping LeBron James to take home his fourth MVP trophy was easy. Forecasting who would take home UFC Fighter of the Year on Jan. 1? Not so much.
Now with the first half of the 2013 UFC fight calendar in the books, it's time to hand out some hardware recognizing the best performances so far this year.
Fighter of the Year/Knockout of the Year:
Winner: Vitor Belfort's Two-for-One
Two fights. Two main events. Two top 10 opponents. Two stunning knockout finishes.
In the opening six months of 2013, the "Old Lion" has looked extremely impressive, adding highlight reel finishes of Michael Bisping and Luke Rockhold to his résumé, putting himself back in the middleweight title conversation in the process.
Belfort took home Knockout of the Night honors for both his finishes, and while there were individual endings that could have taken home first half honors — Bigfoot Silva's KO of Alistair Overeem, for instance — posting a pair of thunderous headkick finishes against two elite contenders is enough to earn the 36-year-old Brazilian a pair of awards at the midway point.
You know you're doing something right when "UFC Tonight" brings on a doctor just to explain why your kick keeps flattening people.
Submission of the Year:
Winner: Kenny Robertson's "Kickstand"
Kenny Robertson's off-the-wall submission off Brock Jardine, "The Kickstand".
Donald Miralle/Zuffa LLCThere have been a host of impressive submission in the first half of 2013, but only one person did something that we've never seen in the Octagon before. When that happens, you just have to give them an award.
This was one step beyond Chan Sung Jung connecting on the first "Twister" submission in the UFC a couple years ago. At least we knew what to call it when "The Korean Zombie" torqued Leonard Garcia in two different directions.
At UFC 157, Robertson forced Brock Jardine to scream in agony and submit to a kneebar-slash-hamstring stretch that he calls "The Kickstand." Everyone who saw it called it painful looking… and a pretty slick submission.
Fight of the Year:
Winner: Dennis Bermudez def. Matt Grice, UFC 157
Dennis Bermudez and Matt Grice annihilated each other for three glorious rounds.
Donald Miralle/Zuffa LLCOn a night when Ronda Rousey and Liz Carmouche made history as the first pair of female athletes to compete in the UFC cage, these two featherweights put forth an instant classic that seems destined to take home this same honor at the end of the year.
The ebb and flow of this fight set it apart from other high quality fights in the first half of the year. They traded leather throughout the first and second round, and just when you thought one man was getting the advantage, a power shot landed and the tide turned. The third, however, was all Bermudez as the former Ultimate Fighter threw everything but the kitchen sink at Grice, who somehow managed to stay upright and survive the frame.
Biggest Upset:
Winner: Kelvin Gastelum def. Uriah Hall, TUF 17 Finale
Much of the 17th season of "The Ultimate Fighter" revolved around Hall and his devastating victories. While the Queens, NY native was tabbed as the clear-cut favorite, Gastelum was the perpetual underdog; a young, green fighter with upside that was still two or three years down the road.
Just as he did throughout the season, the Yuma, Ariz.-based fighter rose to the occasion, keeping the pressure on Hall from the outset, doing just enough to earn a split decision victory over his heavily-favored housemate to join the fraternity of "The Ultimate Fighter" winners.
Best Prospect:
Winner: Conor McGregor
Some athletes just have "it," and McGregor is one of them.
The charismatic and confident Irish featherweight carried a considerable amount of hype with him into the cage for his UFC debut back in April. Just 67 seconds later, it was clear that "The Notorious" had the tools to back up his bravado.
McGregor made quick work of Marcus Brimage, dropping the surging American Top Team product with a combination of punches from odd angles that he didn't even see coming. Though it was just one fight — and a short fight at that — it was the kind of dominant performance that resonates with fight fans, and one that has many believing there are big things in the talented Irishman's future.
Do yourself a favor and jump to 5:15. How could you not love this guy? 60 G's BABYYYY!!!
Best Entrance:
Winner: "Men in Black" — James Te Huna, "UFC on FUEL TV: Barao vs. McDonald"
This past February in London, England, Te Huna and his corners did their best Will Smith impression, donning the black suits with black Ray-Bans to bust out a quick choreographed routine as he started his walk to the cage.
The entrance really introduced a lot of fans to the heavy-handed light heavyweight, who survived a first-round scare to battle back and defeat Canadian Ryan Jimmo and extend his winning streak to four.
Though he's since been submitted by surging contender Glover Teixeira, Te Huna's decision to dance on the way to the Octagon elevated his profile, and in a sport where setting yourself apart from the competition is difficult, this helped do just that for the New Zealander.
Best Post-Fight Celebration:
Winner: Mitch Clarke, UFC 161
We've seen "The Robot," several backflips, countless people climbing the cage, and Jose Aldo running into the seats to celebrate with the fans. Earlier this month, we saw complete, genuine, raw emotion, and it was the best celebration so far this year.
In his third UFC appearance — and first in over a year — Clarke grinded out a hard-fought win over John Maguire, and when Bruce Buffer announced his name, the Canadian lightweight dropped to his knees, tears streaming down his face.
The previous year had been like a bad country song for Clarke: knee surgery, the end of a long relationship, people saying he couldn't do it. But the 27-year-old from Saskatoon endured, and ended up getting the first UFC victory of his career.
Best Staredown/Face-off:
Winner: Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva & Alistair Overeem, UFC 156
These two heavyweights don't like each other, and throughout the preamble to their showdown at UFC 156 in February, Overeem showed little respect for his opponent, smiling a confident smile, convinced he would win the fight and punch his ticket to a championship fight.
Every time the two shared the stage, "Bigfoot" reiterated that he was going to make the former Strikeforce champion respect him, his emotions and frustrations spilling out at both the pre-fight press conference and at weigh-ins.
Part of what made this an easy choice for "Best Staredown" is what happened when these two behemoths hit the cage. Overeem's confidence carried over into the Octagon, and in the third round, Silva followed through on his promise, dropping "The Reem" with a series of heavy punches packed with comeuppance.
Best Media Conference Call:
Winner: GSP vs Diaz, UFC 158
Carlos Condit, Johny Hendricks, Jake Ellenberger and Nate Marquardt were all on the line, waiting to answer questions during the UFC 158 media call. The first two fielded a couple questions each, while the latter pair weren't called on at all. This was "Nick vs. GSP" from Jump Street, and it was glorious.
From St-Pierre trying to explain the concept of passive income to Diaz and admitting he doesn't run his own social media accounts, to Diaz detailing how a minivan-driving soccer mom told him she hoped he got pounded when he pulled up to her at a light in Lodi, Calif. where his gym is, this call immediately went into the Conference Call Hall of Fame.
We may or may not still listen to it once a month, just to relive the sheer hilarity of it.
Best Fighter to Follow on Twitter:
Winner: Pat Barry
Barry's Twitter feed @HypeOrDie is a 140-character look into the heavyweight's life, and it's ALL CAPS, ALL THE TIME.
Lately, Barry has been detailing his favorite old school Nintendo games, and hyping up the next appearance of his girlfriend "Thug" Rose Namajunas in the Invicta FC cage (Sat., July 13), but it's not always jokes and promotion from the New Orleans native.
CONFESSION: I'VE NEVER EVER EVER BEATEN SUPER MACHO MAN!!! http://t.co/jirSWSUjrk
— Pat Barry (@HypeOrDie) June 22, 2013
Barry interacts with fans, exchanges with his critics, and lets fans into his life like very few fighters do. If you're on Twitter, start following him, and thank us later.
