Many now are familiar with Inverted Edge Tactics. It is actually only a part of our over all Inverted Theory concept. This is what separates the MCS system from others that advocate the inverted edge. We use Inverted Theory to train open hand combatives in addition to contact distance weapons, like impact weapons and edged weapons for self-defense. Notice, I said contact distance weapons. To use these weapons two things are needed-
* The attacker has to be attacking you, thus extending himself towards you, Law of Extension.
* You need to be within contact distance of your attacker, including the distance of your weapon.
The basis of the Inverted Theory is that we train to react from the natural position of the hands, down at your side. The reason is that during an attack your hands will be coming up. This is key because your attackers arms will likely be extended towards you. Especially, during the initial attack. Think about it, whenever we are locked up with someone, it is either your hands or their hands on top and bottom.
We know that under hooks are a key in grappling. For sport they allow us to move to our opponents back. In combat, they allow us to move to our attackers outside. This puts us in a better position and offers protection for your center.
By using this natural body reaction, we are able to use a classic teaching principle, using the known to teach the unknown. This is key when teaching those with little to no experience. Not only does it cut down on training time, but it builds confidence and that motivates learning.
More and more we have MCS Alumni bringing their spouses and children to courses, knowing that they need to be able to protect themselves and will likely only dedicate a short time to do it. What they find out is that by building early confidence, their family usually wants more.
As for those with previous training, there is a fixation with using their tool box and holding onto and fighting an attacker, instead of fighting to safety. This is senseless unless you are duty bound.
Too much training is geared toward the prolonged, drawn out fight instead of how to end an altercation as fast as possible.

Skyfall (2012) Cinema Review
"England... Mi6... so old-fashioned!" It's been well established, but 50 years on, it still seems that James Bond can survive pretty much anything. Most recently, the bankruptcy of partial rights holder MGM might have put a four year delay between this and the previous entry Quantum of Solace, but Bond is back. But is he better than ever? Read on. Skyfall finds Bond (Daniel Craig) battered and bruised, having survived a gunshot wound and fall of hundreds of meters into downstream rapids from a moving train. He's not the superhero from the previous entries. He fails both his physiological and psychological tests and is flagged as unfit for duty. But Mi6 have bigger issues to be concerned about. When a hard drive containing the names of embedded and undercover agents is stolen and promptly leaked, leading to agent deaths, along with a network break-in and explosion at Mi6's London headquarters. Bond is bought back into service to get to the bottom of the threat posed by ex-agent Raoul Silva (Javier Bardham). While Mi6 are totally unprepared for a formidable adversary who seems to be on step ahead at all times, soon M (Judi Dench), finds herself fighting not just for the survival of her spy branch, but her own survival. The 23rd Bond film and the third to feature Daniel Craig, Skyfall eschews the Quantum plot threads from Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace, instead focusing on a new villain and plot line. I'm a little torn about that - Quantum has been set up very well, echoing the threat of SPECTRE from the Connery years, with many avenues left to discover and questions to answer, but writers Neal Purvis and Robert Wade have decided to give it a bit of a rest. I hope it's returned to in future entries. The initial criticisms of Daniel Craig, circa 2006, have long since been forgotten. He's proved himself many times over already, bringing a gritty, hard headed, yet stylish and youthful aggressiveness to the role. | Suffice to say, he handles the material somewhat effortlessly. Mendes' Bond is not a superhero. He's a fallible and wholly imperfect being who seems to fail at everything. Shot. Banged up...Old. But it's testament to Daniel Craig's abilities as an actor that he can convincingly play a very different side to Bond. So too with Javier Bardham - one of contemporary Hollywood's greatest character actors. His portrayal of Silva instantly puts him up with the best Bond villains the series has yet produced. Ruthless, menacing and with a touch of sexual suggestion, Silva is a terrifying and believable. He doesn't want to take over the world, ruin the financial system or cause war. His target is Mi6 and he wants them to pay for its perceived wrongdoing. Director Sam Mendes makes for a good fit for a Bond director, giving far more emphasis to drama and character moments, allaying criticisms at the more action oriented and snappily edited pace of Quantum of Solace. Alas, this may disappoint younger audiences who have grown up with the newer entries, and films such as The Bourne Identity. Make no mistake - there's still plenty of action, but the film is much slower, and with more than a few nods to earlier entries such as Goldfinger, feels much more in line with the Bonds of old. Skyfall is earning rave reviews from critics around the world and for the most part I'd be inclined to agree with them. The film is smart, sophisticated and surprisingly emotive and represents a curious new direction for the franchise, not seen since, arguably, On Her Majesty's Secret Service in 1969. But I'm ever so slightly concerned that with the latest entry, they've moved a little too far and too rapidly away from the glossy and action oriented elements that younger audiences are accustomed to. That might jar with some expectations. |

Yes, we know, Sprite is a sugary sweet soda that does about as much to quench thirst as does getting punched in the back of the head. The real reason we're posting the following Sprite commercial is that it's not only really cool/fun looking, but it also serves as a reminder that there are only 2 more weeks of summer left! Plus, it's a million times less creepy than the ad where two-inch tall Japanese women inject lime directly into your throat.
LISTEN UP: Weird Al Says, "Stop All the Downloading!"
- Weird Al has just become the Bob Dylan of RIAA protest anthems by penning the hilarious "Don't Download This Song". If I were you, I would go to his site and completely ignore his advice.
- Never ones to back down from a fight, the RIAA fires back at Al with their totally cool and hip
educational videointimidating threat, "Campus Downloading". It has lots of "down with youth culture" close ups, dope lingo and fonts that look like graffiti, so you know it's totally fresh! Yeah, man – downloading is whack! - The good fellows over at The Rawking Refuses To Stop at least have good manners – when they're going to beat you over the head with several paragraphs of digital copyright rhetoric, at least they post a Clap Your Hands Say Yeah song first.
- Scenestars has Lollapalooze pics and a track from one of indie rock's finest songwriters, Andrew Bird. He's no Weird Al or anything, but still not too shabby.

Dancing with the Stars: Dreams Coming True Alert!

SIZZLER: SNL Cast Shrinks By Three
A source at Saturday Night Live has divulged which cast members won't be appearing on the 32nd season premiere next month. Staple players Horatio Sanz and Chris Parnell, and the relatively new Kenan Thompson are the three people likely to be axed. The source also claims Amy Poehler will step down as Weekend Update anchor, and will be replaced by writer/performer Jason Sudeikis. Considering that Tina Fey and Rachel Dratch have also left the show to work on the new sit-com 30 Rock, it looks like we're going to be treated with an entire new dynamic — one that will hopefully work.
But what will become of our beloved cut players? Both the beloved Parnell and shticky Sanz have some movie projects lined up, some of which seem promising. No, we're most worried about Kenan. Having just completed a small part in a hilarious box office fizzler about reptiles on aircrafts (we can't bring ourselves to say the name anymore), the only other project he's got lined up is in a movie called Wieners. We're going to back away slowly while you slowly realize that poor Kenan has probably reached his peak. Thanks for nothing, All That.

10 Ways Tom Cruise Can Commit Creative Suicide
In the severance heard round the world, Paramount has cut its contract to veteran actor/placenta eater Tom Cruise. Says Viacom chief Sumner Redstone, "It's nothing to do with his acting ability, he's a terrific actor… but we don't think that someone who effectuates creative suicide and costs the company revenue should be on the lot."
Which got us to thinking: If Tom Cruise were in fact to commit creative suicide, he would definitely go out with a bang — one shot out of a ruby-encrusted air cannon, surely. Here are some other ways Tom Cruise could commit suicide creatively:
- He could hangglide off of the roof of the Scientology Celebrity Center and into the mouth of an active volcano
- He could swallow one end of the e-meter, put the other end up his rear, and run a charge through it.
- He could leave some shrimp out in the sun for a few weeks, then eat it.
- He could do his own stunts in Faces of Death 7.
- He could wait 16 years until Suri is old enough to drive, then steer her into oncoming traffic until a tractor trailer slams into the passenger side.
- He could take a single vitamin.
- He could go swimming off the coast of Ethiopia and get slayed by pirates.
- He could do tragically badly on Celebrity Fear Factor.
- He could buy a horse and ride it off the edge of the Grand Canyon.
- He could get lost in the deadened gaze of wife Katie Holmes, never finding his way out and suffocating to death.
Seems like the last one is the most likely. Any other ideas for Tom Cruise's creative suicide?

SIZZLER: Team Firecrotch Forms Evil Lair
The latest report from Hollyweird is that Brandon Davis has moved in with Paris Hilton, leaving them approximately one Joe Francis short of forming an Algonquin roundtable of retardation more powerful than anything the world has ever known. Even briefly dipping one's toe into the pool of moronic possibility this unholy union creates, the mind is immediately left reeling. All their boozing, whoring and sweating (looking at you, Brandon) aside, just imagine what something as mundane as dinnertable banter might sound like in this B-list brothel:
Bradon: Lindsay Lohan has a firecrotch.
Paris: That's hot.
Brandon: Firecrotch.
Paris: Hot.
And on and on for all of eternity. Somebody might as well go ahead and add this odd couple to the list of 10,000 Reasons Civilization Is Doomed.
EXCLUSIVE: Nick & Jessica's Awkard Moment!
Other than the bright future of K-Fed's rap career (so bright, he has to wear FUBU shades), the big story from this week's Teen Choice Awards was speculation about what would happen if no-longer-weds Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson ran into each other at the show, thus creating a vortex of tabloid-fantasy awkwardness. After receiving a tip that they did in fact share a brief exchange, our crack team of hard-hitting newspeople has been pounding the pavement to find footage of the encounter, and after much difficulty (and a couple of casualties), we have victoriously obtained this exclusive clip of the post-breakup run-in the world has been waiting to see!
ICYMI: Idiot Killed the Video Site
Inexplicably ignoring their own rules prohibiting pornography, YouTube has allowed Paris Hilton to post the following video clip (Internet videos are her best medium), in which which she tries rather desperately to string together enough complete sentences to form a semi-coherent "buy my album" plea to all the teenage girls who tape themselves doing booty-dances to Chingy songs they later post on the video site. Behold the power of the internet, harnessed and manifest in the form of a poorly filmed plug from a spoiled pseudo-celeb shamelessly trying to pimp her joke of a music career! Of course, we're only helping her…

FIFA has refused to comment on whether or not an investigation is under way into allegations that Cameroon have been involved in match-fixing at the current World Cup.
The African nation's football federation announced on Tuesday that it was investigating claims of fraud that may have occured during their Group A game against Croatia in Manaus on Wednesday June 18.
The investigation was launched following allegations attributed to convicted match-fixer Wilson Raj Perumal in a German magazine.
FIFA spokesperson Delia Fischer told the media that president Sepp Blatter has been informed of the allegations but refused to say whether or not the world governing body has, or would, investigate the claims.
"We do not provide any comment as to whether or not an investigation is underway with regards to any manipulation of matches," she said.
"The FIFA disciplinary code and code of ethics both say that only after a decision has been taken by the FIFA disciplinary commission or the ethics committee, and all parties concerned notified first, would FIFA be in a position to communicate that decision publically.
"Generally speaking, the integrity of the game is FIFA's top priority and we take allegations of match-fixing very seriously.
"FIFA continues to work closely with law enforcement agencies on a national, regional and global level to tackle match manipulation.\"
The allegations levelled at Cameroon originated in a Facebook conversation between Perumal and German journalist Rafael Buschmann of magazine Der Spiegel.
Perumal was said to have accurately predicted the 4-0 scoreline and that a Cameroon player would be sent-off in the first half - midfielder Alex Song was red-carded just before half-time - although he has since denied making the predictions.
He released a statement through the Daily Telegraph saying he did not predict the result of the game, saying that he made no references to the score and that the conversation with the German journalist took place after the match.
He also said he was "shocked and amazed" by the allegations.
Sky Sports News' reporter Kaveh Solhekol also revealed that Perumal has reportedly been predicting the scores of World Cup games throughout the tournament, with an overwhelming amount of his assumptions turning out to be wrong.
Solhekol also reports that sources close to Song say the Barcelona player knows nothing about match-fixing whatsoever and, due to his well-paid position at the Catalan club, he is not the kind of player who would look to receive a red card as part of a match-fixing scandal.
Sources at officially registered betting exchanges also say that no suspicious betting patterns emerged for the game between Croatia and Cameroon, although there was a significant amount of money put on an own goal being scored, which did not transpire.

Andouille Pizza with Onion Confit and Fontina Cheese
For a crisp and chewy crust, be sure to bake the pizza on a stone that has been preheated for at least 30 minutes. It's also best to bake only one pizza at a time to allow for maximum air circulation.
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
- 2 pounds onions, thinly sliced
- 1/3 cup white wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons dry white wine
- Pinch of sugar
- Kosher salt
- Two 1-pound balls of frozen pizza dough, thawed
- Cornmeal, for dusting
- 1/2 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained and thinly sliced
- 1/4 pound imported Fontina cheese, shredded
- 1/4 pound mozzarella, shredded
- 6 ounces andouille sausage, sliced 1/4 inch thick
- 1 tablespoon minced flat-leaf parsley
- In a large saucepan, heat 1/4 cup of the olive oil until shimmering. Add the onions and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the vinegar, wine, sugar and a pinch of salt. Cover partially and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions are very soft, about 20 minutes. Uncover and cook over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until browned, about 30 minutes longer; add water if the onions seem dry. Transfer the onion confit to a bowl and let cool.
- Meanwhile, set a pizza stone on the bottom shelf of the oven. Preheat the oven to 500° for 30 minutes.
- On a floured surface, roll out 1 ball of dough to a 14-inch round. Transfer to a pizza peel or cookie sheet dusted with cornmeal. Spread half of the onion confit over the dough to within 1 inch of the edge. Top with half of the tomatoes, Fontina, mozzarella, andouille and parsley. Lightly brush the edge with olive oil.
- Slide the pizza onto the stone and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the crust is browned and the top is bubbling. Let cool for 5 minutes, then cut into wedges and serve. Meanwhile, repeat with the remaining dough and toppings. Alternatively, if you don't have a pizza stone, assemble the pizzas on lightly oiled baking sheets coated with cornmeal. Let rise for 30 minutes before baking directly on the sheet.
Suggested Pairing
Lusty, Rhône-style reds, among them Syrah, Grenache and Syrah blends from California, enhance robust, spicy dishes with sweet, earthy undertones.

Millom family caught in Superstorm Sandy
Last updated at 13:23, Friday, 09 November 2012
SHOPS boarded up, trees uprooted and public transport grinding to a halt – not the ideal scenario for a first visit to New York.
But that was the scene that greeted Millom mum Carolyn Burn and her family, when they stepped out of their Times Square hotel room, after Superstorm Sandy had wreaked havoc in the city.
Touching down in the Big Apple last weekend, the Millom Town Council clerk and her family arrived just before the tropical storm hit.
Mrs Burn said: "I kept looking at the weather forecast before we went and saw that it was meant to rain. It was only a couple of days before when I was talking to my colleague Debbie that she mentioned a hurricane might hit the city."
Mrs Burn, husband Martin and two daughters Evie, 14, and Molly, 16, had to rip up their five-day itinerary after flooding and building damage meant large parts of Manhattan was closed off.
While out sightseeing on the Sunday and Monday, including a visit to the iconic Empire State Building, the city started shutting down around them, with shops and attractions boarding up windows and putting sandbags in front of doorways.
Mrs Burn said: "On the Monday the wind started to pick up and we went back to the hotel room early.
"There were safety notices put through the door telling us not to open the windows. And they gave us free wi-fi connection so we could contact people back home.
"People kept asking if we were okay so I kept posting updates on Facebook to let everyone know we were fine."
Despite the hotel losing its hot water supply for two days, the Burn family escaped the storm's worst effects unscathed, before waking up to the scenes of devastation on Tuesday morning.
Mrs Burn, who is now back home, said: "We didn't hear anything outside on the night because we were quite protected with the high rises around Times Square.
"When we ventured out, all the shops were closed and that's when we went to Central Park and realised how bad it had actually been."
The storm claimed 113 lives across America's East Coast and left tens of thousands of people unable to return to their homes due to damage.
The Burn family stayed just a few blocks away from where a crane partially collapsed, and was left dangling over the New York skyline, at a construction site where a 90-storey luxury apartment building was being built in Manhattan.
Despite the chaos around them, Mrs Burn said the holiday was far from ruined.
She said: "We experienced a different side to New York.
"It wasn't the New York that we expected but we got to see the city in a different way.
"We were watching all of the news coverage in our hotel room and they were showing things that were only a couple of miles away and it was hard to believe.
"It didn't spoil the holiday. It just means we've got to go back to do everything we missed!"

Would you want to know how Obama screws US hospitals with his universal health care in the next few years? Apparently, doctors and hospitals don't like Obama's universal health care plan. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/14/us/politics/14address.html?hp
Socialized health care is a pipe dream that can not and will not get accomplished anytime soon! It takes money to make something like this happen not debt! Here's a idea though, why don't we strip the pay of every single stinking no good politician in this country to help pay for it!

Year 2047. The ruins of New York City, the extraterrestrial Ceph, and the corrupt CELL corporation; A violent ecosystem struggles within the Seven Wonders of the Liberty Dome. What was once a bustling metropolis filled with streets and skyscrapers is now a veritable urban rainforest, teeming with raging rivers, dense swamplands and overgrown trees. Each Wonder will offer a unique terrain to exploit, be it prowling on the fields of Fifth Avenue, taking the high ground in a canyon that was once Wall Street, or sneaking through the marshes of Central Park. Nature was able to adapt to the Liberty Dome – will you?
Prophet is on a revenge mission after uncovering the truth behind Cell Corporation's motives for building the quarantined Nanodomes. The citizens were told that the giant citywide structures were resurrected to protect the population and to cleanse these metropolises of the remnants of Ceph forces. In reality, the Nanodomes are CELL's covert attempt at a land and technology grab in their quest for global domination. With Alien Ceph lurking around every corner and human enemies on the attack, nobody is safe in the path of vengeance. Everyone is a target in Prophet's quest for retribution.

A well-oiled PR machinery in the game industry provides constant info-drip and tantalizing clips from the game regularly, sometimes over a year in advance of the launch. This leads to extensive coverage in the gaming press, and increased awareness and hype in time for pre-orders to be counted. And we are very lucky, we are entertained along the way. Electronic Arts is among the best in class, and have the opportunity Crysis 3 regaled with seven episodes in a video series that defines the backdrop for the game.

i hope my pc can run this because i would have to buy crysis 3 to xbox 360 version
i just hope that this is more open world then crysis 2. crysis 2 was great but i really wanted less scripted events and more choice in what i did. crysis 2 was just a bit to linear
it is because they had to make it compatible to platforms expect more of the same -_-

@petesouza: Pres Obama meets w mayors from across the country to discuss reducing youth violence
@petesouza: Pres Obama meets w mayors from across the country to discuss reducing youth violence
October 15, Washington DC
Dewey Bozella won his fight tonight! (See today's earlier thread about his story here)
Thank you for the news Hopefruit
ESPN: President Barack Obama called Dewey Bozella on Thursday to wish him luck in Saturday night's cruiserweight bout with Larry Hopkins in Los Angeles.
The 52-year-old, who was released from prison in 2009 after serving 26 years for a murder he did not commit, will make his professional boxing debut at the Staples Center on the undercard of light heavyweight champion Bernard Hopkins' defense against Chad Dawson.
"I was so humbled and overwhelmed at the president's call," Bozella told The Ring. "It brought tears to my eyes. I thanked him for taking an interest in my story. Wow. There is a lot riding on this fight now."
"This is just getting bigger. President Obama told me that he was rooting for me. I would love to meet him in person someday."
…. Bozella, who boxed as an amateur and while he was in an upstate New York prison, dreamed of fighting professionally while he was incarcerated….
In 1983, Bozella was convicted of the 1977 murder of a 92-year-old woman in her Poughkeepsie, N.Y., home …. There was no physical evidence of Bozella being in her home and he had been bicycling by himself miles away, but was arrested and ultimately convicted. Eventually, the case against him was overturned when witnesses against Bozella recanted their stories.

Thank you BWD

This class allows for easy access to long path names in Windows. This is useful if you've ever run into exceptions because the path you're trying to access is too long. Your applications will no longer be limited by the 250~ character length limit.
I set out to build a project in my free time. I won't get into the details but, I was stopped in my tracks, my plan ruined by the max length limit. Fortunately, I found the article series Long Paths in .NET, Part 1 of 3 [Kim Hamilton]. I used ideas from that article series to come to this simple solution to my problem.
I tried to emulate some of the functionality and method names of the File and Directory classes in the System.IO namespace as closely as possible. The namespace is System.IO.LongPath. The two classes are File and Directory.
The File class contains the following public methods:
void Delete(string file)
Deletes the specified file.
FileStream Open(string path, System.IO.FileMode mode, System.IO.FileAccess access, System.IO.FileShare share)
Opens a file stream to the file specified in the path argument.
void Copy(string sourceFile, string destinationFile, bool failIfDestinationExists)
Copies a file from one location to another.
void Move(string sourceFile, string destinationFile, bool failIfDestinationExists)
Moves a file from one location to another.
The Directory class contains the following public methods:
void Create(string directory)
Creates a directory with the given name.
void Delete(string drectory)
Deletes the specified directory and all sub-directories and files.
bool Exists(string drectory)
Checks if the specified directory exists.
string[] GetFileSystemEntries(string drectory)
Gets file system entries for the directory provided by the directory argument. This is not a recursive function, only file system entries for the provided directory are returned.
This is the largest venture I've made into the Windows API. I don't know exactly what I'm doing. For example, I copied the attribute:
[return: MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Bool)]
I copied this from Kim Hamilton's article and used it on the additional bool functions I imported from the Windows API. I don't know if I should be doing that or not. Feedback on that would be interesting.
You must specify all paths as long name paths by using \\?\c:\long\path and network paths as \\?\UNC\server\long\path.
You may not use relative paths. All paths specified must be absolute. ".." and "." are not supported.
I'm interested in any feedback. Please share your thoughts with me.

What We Know So Far About "OITNB" Season 2
orange is the new blackGet a sneak peek at what's to come in the second season of Netflix's hit comedy series.
There's still three more months before the premiere of the second season of "Orange Is the New Black," but we just got a first look inside what's to come.
The cast and show's creator Jenji Kohan shared a few teasers during a panel at PaleyFest yesterday, including a glimpse at a new character—Vee. Played by Lorraine Toussaint, Vee is "a streetwise drug maven" who will leave "a lasting impression" on the original cast of characters.
What else is in store for Season 2? According to the show's creator, one word—"more." We can expect to see more flashbacks that reveal the supporting characters' lives before prison, including Lorna, Taystee, and Poussey, and a continuation of the relationship woes of Larry (Jason Biggs) and Piper (Taylor Schilling).
Are you excited for the premiere of the second season of "Orange Is the New Black?" Let us know in the comments section below.

IMD forecasts the system is likely to set in over Kerala, its entry into the Indian mainland, on June 3, against the normal date of onset on June 1
The mush-awaited southwest monsoon is on its way. But it could be slightly delayed.
The India Meteorological Department on Wednesday forecast that the system is likely to set in over Kerala, its entry into the Indian mainland, on June 3 with a model error of plus or minus four days. The normal date for onset over Kerala is June 1.
The delay is expected because of the cyclonic storm, Mahasen, which is presently located over the central Bay of Bengal and is likely to cross the coast near Chittagong in Bangladesh on Thursday night.
Speaking to The Hindu, a senior IMD official noted that the monsoon current, which is quite strong now, will weaken once the cyclone crosses the coast. It would have to re-organise again and that could take some time. "We are hopeful that the system would reorganise quickly and bring the first spell of monsoon rains over Kerala around June 3."
The IMD has been issuing forecasts for the onset over since 2005 and it has been almost on the mark: the predictions have been coming true, at least within the model error range of plus or minus four days.
Last year, IMD had predicted an onset on June 1, and the actual event occurred four days later on June 5. In 2011, its prediction was for May 31 and the onset took place two days earlier on May 29.
The dates forecasted by the department and the actual date of onset for the earlier years are as follows: 2010: forecast May 30 [actual May 31], 2009: May 26 [May 23], 2008: May 29 [May 31], 2007: May 24 [May28], 2006: May 30 [May 26] and 2005: June 10 [June 7].
The IMD, in its long range forecast for the season issued on April 26, has predicted that it would be a normal monsoon this year, with a rainfall of 98 per cent of the long period average of 89 cm with a model error of plus or minus 5 per cent.

If he can play against a high quality defense and not the bad news Bears then I think he deserves the shot. Great game though!!
I agree that the Titans defense does suck. But arent good teams suppose to expoit weaknesses of other teams and take advantage of them? If Willie and co. didnt play well, they everybody would have thought that the Titans had a descent defense. Regardless of how good or bad thier defense was. Willie kicked thier asses. He broke tackles, stiff armed db`s, and out ran everyone on the field. If those same tackles were broken by Staley or Bettis, they wouldnt have out ran the defenders like Willie did. Willie Parker hits the holes like he was shot out of a slingshot. One thing I noticed when we played the Redskins in preseason, was how fast and hard Clinton Portis hits the holes. The Bus had holes to hit but by the time he got to them, they were closing in. Imagine Willie with his speed hitting the same holes that Bettis and Staley get, linebackers would definitley have to change thier angles, if they were to take the same angle on Willie that they would on Staley, Parker would be 5 yards past the already. The Bus doesnt want to start anyway, he only want short yardage and goal line. Staley has never really taken over the spot since he has been here. He was given the spot, he didnt earn it. Even after injuries last year, everyone wanted Bettis to continue to start, not Staley. Should Staley sit, not all the time, but Willie needs to be on the field more, alot more, more than any other back we have.

Darkness behind the Curtains
Some people may see me as an obsessed Felicia fan, someone who wishes nothing more than to be a fan of this character to the maximum extent possible, and to tell the truth I am. I love everything about Felicia, her personality, her life goals, her figure, her everything. I do
and I always will. But
there is more than that to my connection with Felicia
things that make me lash out against the coupling of Felicia with other characters. It's not a happy tale, and in truth can sound pathetic and sad, but it kept me alive through all these years so YOU can go to hell.
You see
I haven't had exactly what you could call a "Happy" life. I've had a hellish nightmare of a childhood, I had a rough high-school life, little to no support for what it is that I do (Art and drawing in general to be precise) from almost anyone, there almost seemed like no reason
but to be precise
there was one.
You see
I've been a fan of Felicia for a very long time, knowing of her ever since I was seven years old. She was the very first character that I ever used in a fighting game, and I loved cats back then (Still do to be precise, taking care of my cat Tucker, who turned 5 recently and has the same birthday as me, is a joy to me) and after seeing Felicia's arcade ending, I could see she was sweet, warm, kind, and supporting. To me back then
she seemed like that of a mother figure to me, someone who'd be there to wipe my tears away when I was sad and kiss my pain away, something I'd soon learn that I'd need that I didn't have.
When I was eight years old, it was then that the nightmare began. The horrible things said, done, everyday
going on for five more years, even switching schools and having to go back to the same one that started my nightmares, I had no escape. But
thankfully I've been blessed with many things, one of them being a very good imagination and bringing things to life (Why is it that most amazing abilities always come with a serious price to pay?) and doing so
whenever I felt down or abused, I'd imagine that she was there
next to me
hugging me close and kissing my forehead as she whispered in my ear "Everything will be okay Tony." I always believed her too, and it's her embrace that kept me going through all those years, just to know that she'd be there when I needed her, the mother figure I yearned for and the support I never received. I may have left said place with depression and emotional scarring, but I did so alive thanks to her. You could almost call her my Guardian Angel.
But then came high school, where everything changed and I ended up having to go to the same school with the same people, also having to deal with new ones. Her embrace still kept me warm, but at one point I felt as if I'd lost connection to her and that there really was no support, the time that I attempted suicide but ended up failing, the chances of it failing being slim. I then felt to myself
that it was Felicia that saved me, that it was her that was there to save me from the danger of my life. I never looked at Felicia as a mother figure from that day on, but rather a lover who'd be there for her love no matter what, still having the warm embrace, warm kiss and soft reassuring voice, it was all there to me. I never even went close to even trying suicide again, and from that day on I've been happier, much happier.
And that's where the Fan pairings come in. You see
like I just said, I feel as if Felicia has become a part of my life and that her support has been my main escape from my pain. All I can say is that while she isn't real
her embrace is the most realistic, heartwarming and supportive hug I've ever felt
in my entire life. And now
I see many people thinking that Felicia is theirs and pairing them with the worst of choices. It hurts me internally
to feel that they're trying to take her away from me. I'm not asking every single person in the world to stop loving Felicia, but
to say anything here is selfish, even if the outcome could end up with another suicide attempt, most likely not failing on me again (For it's hard to fail on slitting your throat).
I understand that I have a serious problem, a problem I'll most likely never recover from but I don't even care if I do or not, for I just want to feel her warm embrace, and due to my mind's not slowing down yet and neither is my imagination, I'll always be able to feel it. Tears will be shed due to others trying to take her away from me
but I guess it's pain that they intentionally try to push on me so I guess I have no choice but to bear with it, knowing I still have her next to me. I don't ask for your pity, I don't ask for your sympathy, I just feel as if this needed to be said, the true reason that I've been so dedicated to this character aside from huge amounts of fandom.
You can say what you want about this
You're crazy, you're insane, blah blah blah. Yes, I'm insane but that's mainly from emotional scarring and a nightmarish childhood. This is what I live through people, it's not happy, knowing your left with memories (BTW, I forgot to mention I've got a really powerful memory, so f***ing bonus there) that I can't ever seem to forget. All I can do is keep my mind sharp, Felicia close to my heart, continue drawing and writing on occasion and just try to at least get through the next 10 years. For those who send their pity, I don't want it. Those who feel for my pain, I thank you
but you can't really feel for me unless you truly go through it myself.
Now you all know the dark secret of the #1 Felicia fan, the truth that I live with and live by everyday until the day I die. Just 2 days ago I ended up having to go to the Hospital for chest pains and shortness of breath. It may have turned out to be nothing short of a panic attack in the end, but the entire time in the hospital, even though my Mother was holding my hand, all I could feel was Felicia holding my other hand in her paw and being beside me every step of the way. I was scared
afraid of death
but her soothing words made me feel better. It was yet another time that she's been there beside me through even the worst. I love you Felicia, I always will and I'll never let anyone take me away from you. I'd never known love like this
and even though she isn't real, the loving bond we share is the strongest one I've ever felt in my life. I thank you for reading and listening to me, for I will say it's not hard to write things like this for I get really emotional.
I thank you for listening
and I hope that the rest of your day is a good one

Current Giveaways: Andrew Smith at Books Inc. Palo Alto on March 11th, 7PM ENTER HERE
For the vampire aficionado who is looking for something a more substantial than Twilight, ages 13+.
--Lori From Books Inc. Palo Alto
On the small island of Thisby, each year in November they hosts The Scorpio Races. Men from the island ride capaill uisce, carnivorous horses that come from the sea. These horses are vicious, fast and almost impossible to control. It isn't unusual for men to be attacked, killed and eaten during training. Due to bad family fortune, this year's race will see its first female rider Puck Connolly . Sean Kendrick is the returning champion, and one of the few trainers who has some control over the capill uisce. Neither one is prepared for the friendship that comes during training, too bad only one of them can win the race.
Having never read one of Stefvater's books, I was pleasantly surprised with how great this was. I was hooked in by the characters and the capaill uisce. Told in alternating voices between Puck and Sean, you get insight into what motivates both characters to participate in a potentially deadly race. The way this story is written you really feel like you can take a boat to Thisby and watch these gory races; this is magic realism at its best. Another high point for me is the friendship between Sean and Puck. It is clear that there is a mutual love interest brewing but it has its foundation in a strong friendship. Don't be fooled by the cover, this book is accessible to both guys and girls.
For those of you who grew up reading the Theodosia or Nathaniel Fludd Series, it's no surprise that Robin LaFevers can write an amazing story. But say, by some mistake, you didn't read Theodosia. (Go ahead and do so now, we'll wait.) Then this debut YOUNG ADULT novel from Robin's gonna blow your mind.
You know, scratch that. Even if you DID grow up read Theodosia and Nathaniel Fludd, your mind's STILL gonna be blown. Why? Because Grave Mercy (book one of the His Fair Assassin trilogy) has all the crossbow weilding, dagger throwing, political skulduggery and murderous nuns (that's right, you heard me) you can handle. Fans of Kristin Cashore (Graceling, Fire), rejoice-- Grave Mercy is just the book to tide you over until Bitterblue comes out in May!
Set in medieval Brittany, Grave Mercy features Ismae, a girl who escapes a brutal arranged marriage by joining a convent of assassins. And while tough female leads who kill dudes are a dime a dozen these days in YA (not that we're complaining-- bring on all the tough chicks!)Ismae sets herself apart with likeable vulnerability and fondness toward other characters. Her sense of empathy is not dulled by the fact that she has been thrust into an impossible situation, which serves as a brilliant counterpoint to the amount of killing she does. So if you feel like reading something that's so fun it'll kill you (literally) pick up Grave Mercy. You're welcome.
Local author and upcoming NYMBC guest Nina LaCour's newest (and aptly titled) The Disenchantments is cool. The characters are cool, the settings are cool, the subject matter is cool. Even the VW bus is cool, in a retro, we-don't-have-any-of-our-own-money-so-we-borrowed-this-bad*ss-old car kinda way. I almost peed myself from the coolness lent to the story by a graffiti artist the protagonist befriends.
But I don't just love this book because it's cool. Or because it's about a bunch of kids from San Francisco. Nor do I love it because it takes place along that long drive from San Francisco to Oregon (with a brief foray into Washington), which is a drive I've taken at least 5 times now. I don't just love it because the writing is crisp, and lovely, and simple and evocative. But those are all parts of it.
I love it because it perfectly emulates the sensation of being done with high school, and realizing that, oh sh*t, this is when real life is supposed to start. And it illuminates this feeling perfectly, honestly, with touches of humor and with elegant prose. I haven't read a book this evocative of a particular moment in my own life since I read Lucy, by Jamaica Kincaid (which, if you haven't read, then you should, as it perfectly embodies what it feels like to be in your early twenties, a little pissed and a lot realizing that first person perspective is inherantly a little lonely.)
(By the way, if you're wondering about all the * in the swear words, I know, it's lame. But this also isn't my personal website, so professionalism, yo, it is a must.)
(Also, if you're annoyed about all the parenthetical asides, sorry. There's no excuse for that.)
Nina relies on no stereotypes, no tropes and no shortcuts in this coming of age story. She creates real, honest, pissed, confused, hopeful, loving teenagers. So if you know any of those, or are (were) one yourself, then pick up The Disenchantments. It's just for you.

Enkou Igniting Shooter
This attack is done by the Enkou Blades. She'll raise her hand over the feather on her hairclip which will release two normal blades. From there, she'll throw in one direction and one in the other direction which releases a gust of wind surrounding the enemy. As this is happening; she gets a lock on her target as her hands are over her head with summoned Enkou blades; blazing; and throws them in quick speed which will pierce through; making the wind engulfed in flames.

The shadowy alicorn landed in front of the steaming cave by the base of the volcano. Her wings folded against her side as she trotted closer, being careful not to slip on the mud and slick stones beneath her hooves. The air was filled with the stink of sulphur and the bubbling sound of pools of mud as they boiled in the oppressively hot and humid air. Taking as deep a breath as she dared of the stinking miasma she was surrounded by, she shouted into the cave as loudly as her prodigious voice would allow.
"Come forth Ille Qui Gubernat Monte Ignis- 'He Who Governs The Mountain's Fire!' I would speak with thee!"
She couldn't help but feel slightly proud that she was able to do this with breaking into a fit of coughing, considering the quality of the air. Of course no sooner had she thought this then a small cough escaped her lips. She sighed and shook her head ruefully, gently clearing her throat.
Her shout reverberated down the cave, each echo somehow being slightly louder than the one before. Soon enough, the echoes died down to nothingness. Luna waited for a minute, slowly breaking out into a sweat in the sauna-like environment. As she considered shouting again, a plume of smoke flowed from the cave, followed by a tremendous yawn. Soon came the sounds of smacking lips and then a snarl that grew into a voice:
"Who dares speak my true name? What fool offers themselves up as a morsel to fill my belly?"
A ponderous thudding filled the air, growing louder as it approached the cave entrance until coming to a sudden halt.
The great scarred head of a dragon emerged from the cave The massive creature scanned the sky beyond it's cave until realizing the one who had called it's name was below it. It stared down at the alicorn with its one remaining eye, the other being completely covered over with scar issue. It lowered its gaze and peered at her, turning his head so the beast's one good eye could better focus on her. Luna stared up at the dragon, shivering slightly despite herself.
"Hmph," snorted the great reptile. "You know my true name and are brave enough to stand firm upon seeing me. I suppose I shall honor your bravery and daring and not turn you to ash or devour you where you stand. Yet. Who are you and why do you awaken me?"
Luna swallowed the sudden lump of fear in her throat. "Do you not recognize me, my friend? Does my voice mean nothing to you?"
"I have seen many things, young filly - mostly meals and foolish folk who confront me as you do, which are often the same thing. I have heard many voices - mostly raised in screams as I devour them or free my flame upon them. Though I confess yours does ring familiar, though I remember not where."
"Does not my appearance remind you further?"
"My vision is not what it once was, filly, and I have only the one eye to see with, the other taken by a younger dragon than I. Let me look upon you more closely."
The dragon brought his head forward slowly. Luna stepped back.
"Worry not, young filly. I have given my word that no harm will befall you. Is my word not good enough?"
Luna remained in place. "I apologize O' great lord of the mountain, for though I know you, you do not appear to recognize me. And I fear offending one as mighty as you."
The dragon let out an amused snort. "I will not be swayed so easily by compliments, filly, deserved though they are. I admit you are a fine figure of a unicorn filly, of a color not usual for your folk," he said, not noticing Luna's wings, tucked against her sides as they were, where they blended in with the color of her fur.
The dragon considered for a moment and then pulled its head away from Luna. "No, I do not recognize you. Though I admit that your voice does stoke a memory within my mind, beyond that you are a stranger. And yet you seem insistent that we know one another, and quite well at that. You know my name - pray offer me yours."
The alicorn sighed. This would be the turning point of the conversation. Her voice quavering slightly, she replied.
"My name is Luna, Princess of the Moon, O'Lord."
The dragon's head reared up and he snarled, the smoke flowing from his nostrils darkening and billowing up as though it were a storm cloud. Luna stepped back, truly afraid for her life. Despite her magical abilities, she would be no match for a dragon of this size and age, especially as angered as it was.
"What trickery is this?!" the dragon roared. "My dear friend Luna has been dead a thousand years hence and yet you come here under her name! How dare you! Had I not given my word to not harm you, I would kill you where you stand. Get thee gone, liar, lest I choose to do so anyway. Begone and never return!"
"I said begone, filly." The dragon lowered his head again, the smoke from his nostrils becoming infused with sparks. "You have no idea how lucky you are that you still live. Tax my patience no further."
Seeing that her words merely served to infuriate the great beast, Luna took the only other option she could to prove her identity. She opened her wings and spread them wide.
Immediately, the smoke and sparks dissipated from the dragon's nostrils and his one good eye sprang wide open. Utterly dumbstruck, the dragon simply stared at the alicorn. After a moment, the creature found is voice.
"Luna? Is it truly you?" the dragon asked, in a voice oddly quiet for such a huge creature.
Luna replied, her eyes misting slightly. "Yes, my friend, it is I. When we were both younger and you were much smaller, you and I played together. You had not yet found control of your flames and thus I named you 'Sparkmuzzle.'"
A small tear formed under the dragon's good eye. "You are truly she then, to know that nickname, as I in turn named you 'Moonfilly.' But how is it you are here? I was told you were killed by a demon which called itself 'Nightmare'!"
Luna sighed. "Oh if only I had been. But the truth is worse than that, Sparkmuzzle. Far worse. I was not killed by the demon, I became the demon. Nightmare ... I tried to usurp my sister and rule the sky. Thankfully, I failed."
Sparkmuzzle cocked his head. "And the story of your death?"
Luna shook her head. "A misinterpretation - my sister had banished me to my moon and told the others I was gone. Her statement was taken to mean that I was dead. In a manner of speaking, I was, possessed as I was by the demon's madness. I spent a thousand years imprisoned upon the moon until I found a way to escape my sister's banishment. I then returned to the world below, both to seek vengeance on my sister for banishing me and to attempt to steal the reins of power from her once more. "
She sighed. "Fortunately I was defeated by six ponies wielding powerful jewels called the Elements of Harmony. Together, the Elements released a spell that destroyed the demon Nightmare forever and returned to me both my sanity and my true form.
"Ah, a happy ending, then!"
Luna shook her head sadly. "A happy ending, yes, but I am ashamed of myself to some degree. While Nightmare did take control of my body, I didn't fight off its advance as well as I should have. Truth be told, I liked the power it offered me - I was envious of my sister, you see, and I saw this as a way to overshadow her. I bid sister Celestia no ill will for what she did, though. Truly it was the wisest - the safest - course of action. While the demon cursed her for what she did, I silently thanked her."
Luna broke free of her reverie. "But I should not burden you with these thoughts, dear friend. 'All's well that ends well' as they say. I have since been trying to reintegrate myself into modern society, given that I'm a thousand years out of date. I've had successes, but more than a few failures. These new ways they have of saying and doing things - particularly these new devices they call 'technology' - can confound me ofttimes."
She smiled. The kitchen staff were still trying to clean the egg yolks from the ceiling during her experimentation with a device call 'a blender'.
"After all this time, I've had to build new friendships from old and then I remembered a friend from my childhood - one who I knew would still be around, even after all this time. I came to visit you as soon as I could, but I should have expected you had forgotten me after all these centuries."
"Forgotten you? My dear Moonfilly, I mourned your believed death for more than a year! My memories of you held and still hold a warm place in my heart and my mind. But over a thousand years, one's memory can fail them, often requiring a slight nudge. It is good to see you again, Moonfi
Luna raised a hoof. "No. To you I should always be considered your Moonfilly"
The dragon grinned. "And to you, I will always be 'Sparkmuzzle' though unlike then my flames are now under my complete control." He let off a short burst in the shape of a heart and Luna laughed. Sparkmuzzle joined her, his great bellowing laugh echoing back through his cave, but soon their laughter died down.
"Well," sighed Luna, "Despite renewing our friendship we are at somewhat of an impasse. We are neither of us the children we once were. We cannot play as we once did - I am far too small, and you are far too large
Sparkmuzzle smiled at his old friend. "No, I'm afraid those days are far behind the both of us, but we can change the type of friendship we have. For instance, I have a thousand years of tales for you to hear, dear Moonfilly."
Luna smiled in return. "And for you, dear Sparkmuzzle, I have all the time in the world to listen."

Sky Sports pundit Tony Gale believes Liverpool's triple transfer raid of Southampton represents good business for the club, but that they will struggle to replace the 'genius' of Luis Suarez.
The Reds have paid Southampton a total of £49m for the services of Adam Lallana, Dejan Lovren and Rickie Lambert over the summer but sold controversial Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez to Barcelona.
While Suarez's goalscoring capabilities will be badly missed, Liverpool have brought in players to improve a defence which leaked 50 Premier League goals last season - more than any other side in the top five.
The transfer of Lovren has been made with that in mind, and former centre-back Gale believes the Croatia international could prove a vital addition.
\"Dejan Lovren is an excellent acquisition for Liverpool and those three players they have brought in from Southampton are all good signings,\" Gale told The Morning View on Sky Sports News HQ.
\"He led the Southampton backline last season and he is very good at playing that passing game that Mauricio Pochettino liked to play and that Brendan Rodgers will want him to play as well.
\"He has good ability on the ball and he's left-footed as well so that will give them a good balance. Liverpool have signed well but they need to replace Suarez, and his goals, because he is a genius.\"
Meanwhile, Gale says he was not surprised to see Tony Pulis leave Crystal Palace two days before the start of the Premier League season and believes the exit may have been down to a disagreement over transfer strategy.
\"I wasn't surprised because it had been mooted that Tony wasn't happy with the club's transfer business this summer and he know what it takes to keep a team in the Premier League,\" he said.
\"So many of the results when they survived last season were 1-0 and he will know they were fortunate to stay up and that what they've done in the summer wasn't enough to get them to mid-table this season.
\"He's had a chat with the chairman who might be concerned that they go back to the Championship and then they're lumbered with players whose wages they can't afford.\"
