Glastonbury, Conn. teacher Scott Minnick compared the educational system to a tripod. One of the legs, he told the governor Tuesday night, is a "socioeconomic problem that ... teachers cannot fix." Then why, Minnick asked, does the education reform bill in the state legislature focus on teachers?

It came down to the final day and an unusual closed-door meeting by the entire House of Representatives, but the Legislature approved an education overhaul bill continuing Wyoming's effort to help better prepare its public school students.
Several Ridge (New Haven, Conn.) Road School parents asked the Board of Education to restore seven special education-related positions that were cut from the 2012-13 budget.
The Florida Senate will have an opportunity to vote on Senate Bill 1718, the Parent Empowerment Act.
Some think this bill puts control of a child's education back into parent's hands, others have said that it takes away parental choice.
The Oregon Board of Education will continue to take steps toward adopting rules that could ban Native American mascots from schools across the state.
Racial disparities in school discipline – including suspensions, expulsions and arrests – remain alarmingly high in districts and states across the country.
In between back-to-back speaking engagments in Texas, U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan met with sometime political adversary Gov. Rick Perry to discuss a possible waiver on the No Child Left Behind Act.
Louisiana State Senator Karen Carter Peterson pre-filed Senate Bill 374 (PDF), to repeal the state's ill-advised Science Education Act of 2008.
Efforts to revamp public education are increasingly focused on evaluating teachers using student test scores, but school districts nationwide are only beginning to deal with the practical challenges of implementing those changes.

Students Create Thought-Controlled Prosthetic Arm 50
from the only-the-good-thoughts-I-hope dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
I would all depend on what level of the thought process they have it operating. Would the user have to actively think "I'll move it up, down, away, towards etc", in which case it would be less intuitive and easy than the nerve- or muscle-controlled ones. If the arm was set to just work on 'impulse' type thoughts, then how long before peoples arms start grabbing women by the arse just coz the user had a dirty thought - would they be able to be held responsible in law for the action of their arm?
As for the Canadians doing this, well done. DARPA have been working on this for a long time now;-

Monroe County Historic Sites Levy Increase (August 2012)
A Monroe County Historic Sites Levy Increase measure was on the August 7, 2012 ballot in Monroe County.
This measure was approved
This measure sought to increase the current county tax by a rate of .1 mill for a period of ten years in order to help pay for historic sight operations and maintenance costs including the Monroe County Historical Museum, the Navarre-Anderson Trading Post and the Martha Barker Country Store. Officials noted the decrease in available funds for these facilities, the museum has undergone decreases in hours and loss of staff. At the commissioner's meeting which voted the tax onto the ballot, residents spoke in favor of the measure, though stating that more taxes were always hard, they hoped the historical sites would boost tourism for the county.[2]
Text of measure
The question on the ballot:
|Shall the tax rate limitation imposed under Article IX, Section 6, of the Constitution of the State of Michigan of 1963, be increased by a total levy of up to 0.10 mills ($0.10 per $1,000.00 of taxable valuation, as finally equalized), upon the taxable real and tangible personal property within the County of Monroe, Michigan, for a period of ten (10) years, from 2012 through 2021, both inclusive, for the purpose of providing funding for maintenance, operations, staffing, capital improvements, and for general programs and County outreach programs and for possible grants, to further the preservation and display of historical artifacts in Monroe County, and for possible partnering with the federal or Michigan governments, all to best use the Museum and the County's historical artifacts, and to promote its programs, for the benefit of the citizens of Monroe County? The estimated revenue for the first year of the levy, if approved and levied in its entirety, shall be $560,500.00.[3][4]

Color Forecasting
Learn about color forecasting and its impact on the home furnishings market.
Color Forecasting
The Interiors Committee of The Color Association of the Unites States is the oldest color forecasting service in America. This is where experts from every area of home decor, the "color czars," come together once a year to create a palette of the hottest colors, which will be used in home furnishings across the United States for the next two years.
Forecaster Ken Charbonneau, a member of the committee for more than 20 years, explains how he gathers information to create the palettes of colors he presents each year. With another meeting coming up, he's under the gun to choose what he believes are the most popular colors to present at the gathering. Charbonneau visits many stores in New York City (he thinks store displays are a great way to get new color ideas for our homes) and also goes to the International Contemporary Furniture Fair in his quest for the hottest colors in home furnishings. He then puts the finishing touches on his presentation. One color, a bright and bold red, will be sold the hardest to the committee as he believes it will be very popular in homes across America two years from now.
The annual forecast meeting of The Color Association of The United States finally comes to order and each color czar presents the colors they feel will be the most popular in home decor over the next couple years. Then they battle it out to pick the 44 that make it onto the final palette. It's a process of consensus and, after much debate, they all agree on the final choices. Each shade will be printed onto a palette and distributed to thousands of retailers, home furnishing designers and manufacturers, influencing everything we buy for our homes for the next two years.
Color Director Doty Horn explains how hot new colors are developed at Benjamin Moore paints and Carl Minchew, Director of Color Technology, shows how they're perfected and maintained in their color assurance lab. Horn has to be in tune with all the other related products to make sure they have the right paint colors to go with the latest fabrics, carpet, laminate, furniture and even lighting available.
Area Rugs
Elizabeth Miller of Karastan Carpets explains how new colors are used in designing fine carpets and rugs. Rugs can take up to two years to produce, so she needs to know what colors will be popular far in advance. Color is the natural way to give the new customer a classic product in a fresh way so it doesn't look like something their grandmother would have.
The Language of Color
Lisa Herbert, Senior VP of Pantone, explains how her company creates colors for companies like Barbie, Tiffany and Coca-Cola. Herbert describes how each color is trademarked and translates across every country in the world. She also discusses how colors are named and sometimes renamed in order to keep them popular.

NOID Alocasia
I'm hoping someone out there will be able to ID this for me!
Here is a link that might be useful:
Thanks Keiko,
Do you say that to mean it will revert back to all green? When I bought it, it was all green. As it grew during the summer, it took on the yellow variegation and all new growth from the main stalk has been variegated. However, the two pups are all green.
What do you mean by "macro"?
Thanks for your insight,
New Guinea Gold, like a lot of other variegated plants, seems to "come and go", the amount of variegation varies throughout the year.
I had a beautiful New Guinea Gold that at times was predominantly deep gold/ yellow yet at other times you could almost have mistaken in for a very deep green regular Alo macro.
I have several macro with green and white variegation and the same occurs. The amount of light doesn't appear to be the reason and I am in the tropics where we don't have any real seasons so I don't know why this is????
Cheers, Troy.
GH, NGG is the kind of variegated plant that has genetically different tissue growing within the same plant.
With tissue culture they have to get some of both types in the same cutting to make them come out. Most come out like yours, but a lot of them come out differently for better or worse. Some have a nice marble effect, some just a few gold spots at their best, etc.
The first ones I saw of these were long before they started mass producing them from tc and they kept their variegation year round. A few years ago I spotted three small tc plants among that had good variegation in a greenhouse during the winter among many others that did not. I bought them to see what would happen and they kept their variegation year round like the old clone.
This is a different thing from the kind of variegation in C. Nancy's Revenge which comes uniformally true from tc and just needs to reach a certain size for Nancy to get her revenge.
I guess they need two different names for the NGGs that stay variegated year round and the ones that come & go as Troy describes.
I don't know why this is either, Troy, but the ones like yours and GHs only put out variegated leaves here July - Sept., the hotest part of the summer when they are growing fastest.
:-)Well, Susan, NGG is really variable, but as far as I know it has never had the ability to skip from Genus to Genus.
If Gertrude Stein were alive and well,living in Dallas today, she would probably tire of buying chemicals to grow roses and say "An Alocasia is an Alocasia is an Alocasia"
keiko, allow me to pull you up to speed:


text: I have pm'ed everyone with my mailing address. If you do not get it, please pm me or post here and I will send it again. Sounds like some people are done already. WOW!!! Can't wait to see everything. I have two boxes set up and ready to collect the packages as they arrive. Happy creating!

During the night the ship changed course for Mallorca in order to carry out a medical evacuation of a passenger. No word just rumours of the condition of the passenger evacuated.

My 2001 PT Cruiser would not go in reverse. I took it to a shop and he said it was the plastic piece at the end of the cable that attaches to the shift. He wanted to charge me $180. for the new cable and 3 hours labor - total over $450. My husband went on line and ordered the plastic piece only and had it sent to our house. It cost $20.00. Then he took it to another mechanic he knew and he charged him $70. labor to install it. Total $90.00 (savings - $360.00+) Send your brother/husband/mechanic savvy sister etc.

I had the same problem on my 2001 5spd, it wouldn't shift into reverse, found out it was the linkage bushing, which they don't sell by them selves you have to buy the whole linkage rod, well i found a side called boogerbushings, where u can get the bearing for 26.00 and is an easy install. Didn't have to spend 1500.00 that a mechanic wanted. Also the bushing is oh heat resistant plastic not rubber and wil last long time.

Kitchen Layout design suggestions needed
update. found another space for the W/D. so the upper left corner will be a utility closet for vacuum, broom etc.
We are planning our new kitchen layout.
in the top view, the W/D unit is at the upper left corner.
the other side of the kitchen opens up to family room. Kitchen and Family together is 15x28
the island actually only has 2 base cabinet. it's hard to draw it with ikea software. so #11,12,13,14,15,16 will not be there and will be counter top overhang for sitting. we want to eat in the kitchen
Option A: Fridge and microwave on the left wall
Pros: fridge near Sink
Cons: the isle on the left might be tight with seats
Option B: Fridge and microwave on the range wall
Pros: left isle is more open. left wall looks clean and open. more counter space on the left, not interfering cooking and washing
Cons: Fridge is very far from sink (15 or so). lesser counter space near range, microwave usage might interfere cooking
which option works better?
1. I like to be able to take things out of fridge and put in the microwave or on the counter top underneath.
For option A the pantry is in between. however if we switch the pantry and fridge, the fridge will be even more in the way. is having pantry in between making using microwave less easy?
2. is fridge distance so far an issue?
3. in both options, at the window wall, is it better to have trash pull out on the left and dishwasher on the right, or the other way around?
4. for island, as we want to eat in most of the time, counter height seats are not very easy to get on and off for the elderly and young kids. what could be a good solution that will look good without breaking bank?
This post was edited by M_N_A on Fri, May 3, 13 at 0:11
I think you want more "elbow room" around laundry than is provided by merely positioning the stack there. At minimum move fridge down or elsewhere,and fit the closet adjacent with shelves/ racks/cubbys or cubicles to stash/fold piles of clothes.I would absolutley need more space and I've had laundry in the kitchen....it becomes a zone when in use....it's not impossible and you have space in the kitchen....perhaps pantry-type closet/room to segregate....bifold doors?Devoting that pantry closet would work....but then you might want a different pantry for food /kitchen use.
You don't have enough room for all of the seating that you want. And actual eating at an island isn't comfortable except for breakfast or other quick snacks. Do you not have a dining room in the home? Or a breakfast area?
Post your existing layout first before any changes.
The laundry squash was the first thing that jumped out at me, too, so I vote for Option B. I prefer the fridge nearer the prep area than the sink. Also, I would swap the trash pullout and dishwasher. Makes the trash more convenient for prep and microwaved food wrappers/covers. My mom's trash pullout is in the island, behind the sink and range, and it's very convenient.
What is the space on the pantry wall? Is it a desk? Perhaps you'd rather the counter height stay consistent, and use a counter-height stool there. I saw that at Ikea, and it looked very convenient.
@herbflavor, that's right. we are putting a closet door for W/D. it's hard to show with ikea software. will also allow more space as suggested.
@hollysprings, formal dining room is outside family room. a bit far from kitchen. don't have space for breakfast nook hence want to eat at the island
@bpathome, trash pull out at island is an new idea to try. space on the pantry wall Is it a desk with counter top over base cabinets on both sides. again ikea software issue:P
For option A, you might think of having the eating area at the bottom right corner (maybe re-size cabinets on the right of the range).If you have a table height peninsula there, you won't have to use bar stools and I don't think height change would look strange.
For window wall, I think DW on the left would be better.
Having the pantry between MW and fridge won't be a problem imo.
I like option B but I would move the W/D stack all the way to the left side. It will look more balanced that way plus gets the W/D out of the main work areas of the kitchen. Maybe even rotate it so the bi-fold doors open into the adjacent family room instead of the kitchen so it does not become a blocked entry when in use.
Would it be an option to swap your family room and dining room? That way the dining room would be more convenient for family meals.

TMZ is reporting that Katie Holmes will only receive a modest check for child support each month in the divorce settlement with Tom Cruise, and will not be receiving any spousal support of any kind. They say that this is because of the pre-nup, which allows her nothing of Cruise's reported $250 million fortune. They are saying Holmes has gotten no lump sum payout of any kind either, in addition to no spousal support.
The child support amount is also not huge by Hollywood standards, as it amounts to $33,000 a month. In most cases, this would barely cover the price of really expensive private school. However, Cruise only has to pay this amount until Suri turns 18 years old, at which point he is no longer obligated to continue providing child support. He also has to cover all her other costs, such as medical, insurance, education, and other extra curricular costs.
According to TMZ, the agreement also includes an agreement from both sides that Suri will not have to attend a residential school from now until 18 years old. Effectively, Holmes has made sure that Cruise will not be able to ship her to Sea Org or any other scientology training facility.

Revolutions will open in 65 countries on Wednesday, Nov. 5, and Matrix fans will be able to view the sci-fi sequel in Los Angeles at 6 a.m., in New York at 9 a.m., in London at 2 p.m., in Moscow at 5 p.m. and in Tokyo at 11 p.m.
No film has ever been released this way, and according to Warner Bros. Distribution President Dan Fellman, the move aims to capitalize on the final part of the trilogy's popularity and to ward off piracy. "The zero-hour simultaneous opening of Revolutions once again positions the Matrix films as the cutting edge experience in motion pictures," Fellman told Variety.
Revolutions will also debut stateside Nov. 5 across IMAX screens. It will be the first time a Hollywood blockbuster has been released in two formats at the same time in 35mm and IMAX's 15/70 formats. IMAX offers both 2D and IMAX 3D images on curved screens up to eight stories tall, and Revolutions has been digitally re-mastered using IMAX's DMR(TM) technology.
Directed by Andy and Larry Wachowski, The Matrix Revolutions is the final installment of the successful sci-fi trilogy starring Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, Laurence Fishburne and Hugo Weaving.

Had the unflagging perseverance of Tom Tykwer and the Wachowski siblings not shown them through their trying development prior to "Cloud Atlas," its existing pitch materials and visionary test footage likely would have elevated the project into cinema's tragic archive of could've beens. Like Samuel Fuller's haphazard, ash-covered collection of unproduced scripts, the absence of product, sitting idly by the raw materials required to construct one, can coat an enigmatic gloss over the entire endeavor.
The 65th Cannes Film Festival's eleven days of prediction, wild speculation and gossip, some of it centering on the notoriously cranky personality of this year's jury president Nanni Moretti, came to an end Sunday evening in festival's business-like awards ceremony (or Soiree de Palmares, as the French call it) that traditionally lacks the extended let's-put-on-a-show aspect of the Oscars. The jury was seated onstage in a solemn group, and the awards given with a modest amount of fancy-dress formality, a bit of unrehearsed fumbling, and acceptance speeches that were short, dignified and to the point.
The foul weather that has marred the usually sunny festival continued to the end, and elite guests and movie stars alike walked a red carpet tented by a plastic roof as the rain fell on the multi-colored umbrellas of the surrounding crowds. Festival director Thierry Fremoux personally held an umbrella for Audrey Tautou, star of Claude Miller's closing night film, "Therese Desqueyroux," as she headed up the famous steps in a calf-length ivory lace gown with a bodice heavily embroidered in gold.
Actress Berenice Bejo, an international sensation since her starring role and subsequent Oscar nomination for "The Artist," performed mistress of ceremonies duties in a white, bridal-looking strapless sheath with long train, her only jewel an enormous heart-shaped emerald ring. Just about the only prediction this year that turned out to be accurate was the one that advised that all was unpredictable under the jurisdiction of the pensive and often-scowling Moretti.
Hollywood nostalgia may be warmly embraced Tuesday morning when the 2012 Academy awards nominations are announced. Films involving the invention of the cinema, the transition from Silent to Talkies and the legend of Marilyn Monroe are among those certain to be nominated.
Making lists is not my favorite occupation. They inevitably inspire only reader complaints. Not once have I ever heard from a reader that my list was just fine, and they liked it. Yet an annual Best Ten list is apparently a statutory obligation for movie critics.
My best guess is that between six and ten of these movies won't be familiar. Those are the most useful titles for you, instead of an ordering of movies you already know all about.
One recent year I committed the outrage of listing 20 movies in alphabetical order. What an uproar! Here are my top 20 films, in order of approximate preference.
Please remember to check the official CIFF website for ticket information, updates and schedule changes.
• Toronto Entry #2I have not quite become jaded. Sometimes I fear that I am so familiar with movie formulas that some films don't have a fair chance. Then I go to see Michel Hazanavicius' "The Artist" and it tells a story that would have been familiar in the late 1920s, when it is set, and I begin by admiring its technique and am surprised to find, half way through, that I actually care how it turns out.
Marie writes: At first you think you're looking at a photograph. Then the penny drops, along with your jaw..."Alan Wolfson creates handmade miniature sculptures of urban environments. Complete with complex interior views and lighting effects, a major work can take several months to complete. The pieces are usually not exact representations of existing locations, but rather a combination of details from many different locations along with much of the detail from the artist's imagination. There is a narrative element to the work. Scenarios are played out through the use of inanimate objects in the scene. There are never people present, only things they have left behind; garbage, graffiti, or a tip on a diner table, all give the work a sense of motion and a storyline.

Those are great. I don't see photoshop effects in them either. I have seen some really creepy clouds up here before and they look fake, but they aren't...it's amazing how they form and change so quick.

OT my little Dog Maggie needs your prayers
I didn't think this would be seen on the conversation side in a timely manner so I put it here.
LONG long story short she is our 6 year old Min Pin she hurt her leg Tuesday am and I sat with her till yesterday afternoon when we found a new vet (Had a bad experience at our other new vets the week before for their annuals- the vets hygene practices weren't up to what we thought they should be anyways that is a long story in itself.)
We thought it was a muscle strain because there was no obvious swelling and in our manipulations we couldn't get an adverse reaction and as time went on she would occasionally bear weight but we found a great new vet and got her in yesterday afternoon and her Xrays are being sent off to a specialist today to confirm one of two possible diagnoses- she either has a strained ligament in her right front wrist or has the smallest of chip fractures. We are all praying for the strained ligament to be the case- much better prognosis if that is so. So please add her/us and this matter to your thoughts and prayers.
Thanks RaNae
PS here are some links to Maggies Pages
Here is a link that might be useful: Maggie Page
I'll be saying my prayers for little Maggie. We've been very fortunate with our little minpin--she's been mowed down several times by our lab and hasn't come up injured yet. Their little legs are so fragile and slender I've been dreading the day something might happen.
Give Maggie a hug for me--I know they like to curl their little head up into your neck and hug back. She's a cutie.
Thank you soo much Girls The specialist said no fracture YAY!!! that means n osurgery at this point - just splinted for two weeks with an anti-inflamitory med. Lets hope she don't get friction wounds from the splint.
De that is soo cool that you have pins too I'd love to see pics and yup she loves to hug back.
Hi RaNae, I'm late to seeing this post but I'm glad all is well with your sweet Maggie. It's so tough when our dear pets have problems, especially since they can't "tell" us where it hurts.
Here's hoping the next two weeks go by swiftly and without any further injury for Maggie.
Hugs to you both,
I'm glad Maggie is going to be ok.
Here's my little Spike (she's a girl-Red Spiked Heels) sleeping on her daddy. She turned 10 years old last week and is sporting quite a bit of gray hair.
This is Spike with her little sister Ginger (when Ginger was still a pup).
Hi Ranae:
Very late to the thread here, but wanted to say that I'm very happy to hear that all's well with your little one. I have three dogs of my own (and am involved in animal rescue) and can certainly relate to the anxiety you must have been experiencing.
Happy healing to your pup! ((((Maggie))))
De Spike and Ginger are too cute!! Spike is just adorable she looks like such a big dog in the first pic lol.
Here are some pics of Maggie she loves to lay on anything clean- does Spike?
She loves her plastic foot LOL
This is Jorgie
Thanks for everyones prayers :-)
I wanted to say that Maggie had to go back to the dr's today and have her splint redone. All is well at this point then we go back thursday to get the splint off.

... which was basically reinventing FreeBSD's ports system.
Why are people trying to reinvent BSD? It's already there. Fork it, adapt it, use it.
BSD has more software than GNU/Linux.
Why would anyone actually want this?
As a Linux user, you don't have much chances to keep off the toxic systemd grass:
1. Use Slackware, Gentoo, Void Linux. Probably Slackware will outlive the other two though.
2. Use *BSD.
3. Obey.
Uhm, yes, I use Mac OS X 5.6. Or Windows 5.6. Or both of them.
No, actually I use OpenBSD-CURRENT. It was 5.5-CURRENT after the time_t switch (and everything worked perfectly), it's 5.6-CURRENT...
I use OpenBSD 5.6 where everything works well. Can't see your point.
It must be pretty hard for them Linuxers to see that OpenBSD was first in quite anything.
Ha, even the BSDs have a more stable developer base.
Maybe this is the moment when some Linux advocates notice that there's a world outside their plates...
^ made my day.
What's missing?
A lot of people came from Linux to BSD as they noticed its flaws.
Including me.
I gladly doubt that's relevant in the BSD world.
Also, "migrating" from default Apache to default nginx is not much of an effort, right?
See, that's why no one can take Linsux users serious.
I, for one, would have preferred lighttpd; but I guess the OpenBSD devs had good reasons for their choice.
... which is wrong.
Nice, Lennart breaks another Linux distribution now. I, as a BSD user, appreciate this.
However I find those discussions "ZOMG DAT MARKET SHARE!" disturbing. Linux's market share is a joke...
Gnome is dead. Face it.

http://lowkickmma.com/members/Azzkika/ azzkika
Been wanting to see Silva GSP for so long now, but seeing Jones last night, i would prefer to see him face Silva, as at last Silva would be facing someone equal in size and IMO someone better than himself.
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Nur/ nur
Let Jones capture LHW title first, then we'll seee…
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Zadok83/ Zadok83
Poor thing. You must have picked Vitor to win. How overrated is Silva now?
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Swamp-Rat/ swamp rat
Isn't it obvious?
Sonnen vs Silva!
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Mokoko/ mokoko
Don't forget GSP is fighting Shields
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Nightmonkey17/ nightmonkey17
With some good head movement GSP will dominate Anderson! Mark my words!
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Ninja/ Ninja
I feel bad for Okami but Silva vs GSP makes sense or Silva moving to 205…don't think anyone can beat Silva at 185
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Zadok83/ Zadok83
Wishful thinking. GSP will get blasted by Silva too.
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Spyridon/ Spyridon
Silva-GSP makes the most sense as if GSP wins, both fighters will have legitimately cleaned out their divisions.
Dont get me wrong, Silva vs the winner of Rua/Jones would be a great fight, but the fact that both Silva and GSP had cleared out the division makes that superfight much more interesting.
Also the fact that Silva and GSP are debated on the top P4P charts everywhere. That needs to be settled once and for all!
http://lowkickmma.com/members/D/ D
The last time GSP knocked someone out in the first round was in 2004. The last time Silva did was about an hour ago. Maybe you should give him his respect.
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Swamp-Rat/ swamp rat
GSP doesn't stand a chance against Silva. If he doesn't fight Sonnen, Silva should fight Shogun vs Jones winner.
..in other words, Silva vs Shogun!
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Falcon4917/ falcon4917
Everyone is better than silva in your eyes yet those same eyes decieve you.lol.
http://lowkickmma.com/members/HATEOCRACY/ HATEOCRACY
He needs 2 go on the Maury Show & prove to Mokoko that he is his father so homeboy can stop hate'n so much.
http://lowkickmma.com/members/UnderdogGreatness/ UnderdogGreatness
Anderson Silva should fight an alien next
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Nokick/ nokick
GSP doesn't stand a chance against AS, seriously people, size, speed, reach, agility. GSP been winning with decision against 170 div. can't imagine him beating AS. put GSP against one of the top 185 lbs first, to see how he do. wouldn't surprise me if he get his kick. there a reason y fighter goes down in weight to fight.
http://lowkickmma.com/members/UnderdogGreatness/ UnderdogGreatness
Guys, You're only 0 – 13 so far and Guess what? maybe you'll get him next time lol…
I hope you keep on betting agains't him. Guys like you are only making guys like me more money, better yet maybe you can start betting your cars, wives, homes too in the future.
http://lowkickmma.com/members/TheGreat/ TheGreat
Lets clear some facts :
St-Pierre is 5'10″ and weights 189lbs / fights at 170.
A. Silva is 6'2″ and weights 220lbs / fights at 185.
- That's 4″ and around 25-30lbs on weight for Silva.
- Silva vs St-Pierre would not be an even fight.
- Even if Silva beats St-Pierre that does not prove anything for the pound for pound rankings.
- p4p is a term to describe how any two things compare when bearing in mind their varying quantities,As these fighters do not compete directly judging the best fighter pound for pound is subjective
and its by simply making both fighters equal on size and weight and then letting the skills and ability determine the best of both.
- St-Pierre fighting Silva would only prove what everyone knows the bigger man with the equal training ( MMA ) would be the winner.
-the Lightweight Champion would not beat the Welterweight Champion and so on moving up in weight classes.
- a smaller opponent beating an equal level fighter bigger than him does prove the dominance and superior skills of a fighter making him clearly the better pound 4 pound fighter of the 2 but its highly unlikely to ever happen examples Bj vs St-Pierre, same would be with Silva and St Pierre.
- Silva being 6'2″ and easily making 205 would be the best choice in a legacy perspective and a fans one.
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Falcon4917/ falcon4917
I get your point on Silva being too big for GSP but as far as p4p you can look at finishing ability as a quality that would be greater than decisioning a fight since it proves in the end you win where as a decision just proves you can be dominant for 5 rounds.
http://lowkickmma.com/members/SavOnDeck/ SavOnDeck
wtf would make y'all think gsp can hang with silva
http://lowkickmma.com/members/SavOnDeck/ SavOnDeck
jones-rua winner would make sense
http://lowkickmma.com/members/UnderdogGreatness/ UnderdogGreatness
I don't know.
http://lowkickmma.com/members/702BOXX/ 702BOXX
why would u choose anything besides georges st pierre ahah
http://lowkickmma.com/members/HATEOCRACY/ HATEOCRACY
A.S. should do what all CHAMP do & go 2 DISNEYLAND with da FAMBAM(family)
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Mokoko/ mokoko
becose GSP will lose from Shields
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Rex/ rex
Everybody wants Silva- GSP, but from GSP's POV he's not yet into changing weight classes, u might rather expect Rua-Jones winner or Okami more possibly.
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Newbreed07/ newbreed07
If GSP beats Shields then give Silva GSP. It makes since the best two P4P fighters on the planet and it would be the biggest match in UFC history but the main reason they should do it is because GSP is willing to fight and stay at 185 if he wins atleast that is the situation according to Dana. GSP talks all the time about if he moves up he wants to get bigger first so I'm sure he will be heavier than his normal 189 on fight nights. Secondly people are complaining about the size difference between them, I dont see where its like big of a deal we've watched enough MMA to know that in this sport anything can happen.
2nd If it isn't GSP its gonna be Okami. Rua- Jones winner isn't even in the discussion for Silva. Silva wants to stay at Middleweight he has said that for about the past 2 years and has no desire to be the light heavyweight champion because he feels that is Machida and Little Nogs class and he doesn't want to interfere with there goal of being Light Heavyweight Champion.
I'd love to see him fight for the LHW title I just dont think he will ever do it because of his loyality to those guys.
http://lowkickmma.com/members/DeadlyIntentions93/ DeadlyIntentions93
GSP if he beats Shields.
If Shields somehow beats GSP than Anderson Silva should get the Jones/Shogun winner IMO.
Even though Shogun and Anderson are good friends, so what this is their job and its just business, nothing personal.
http://lowkickmma.com/members/JaytheBrit/ JaytheBrit
silva vs jones/rua would be bull shit. what about all the other people in the divsion if he just walks up there and gets a shot straight away how un fair would that be. Give him other winner of rampage thiago silva. winner gets title shot
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Bruce-Lee/ Bruce Lee
GSP is just Sonnen with BJJ and stand up….oh, wait. That would work.
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Bruce-Lee/ Bruce Lee
Before creating a super fight let the champ (Rua) clean out his division
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Bruce-Lee/ Bruce Lee
Michael, ArchAngel. God's right hand man.
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Dutchfighter/ Dutchfighter
Rua comes to soon for Jones he will lose and rise again to capture the titel at 25.
So my pick will be Silva versus Rua, the ultimate Brasiian war and it will take place in Rio It will be the kickstart of UFC in Brasil, millions more to market.
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Griffin/ griffin
i really hope its GSP and not Okami. No offense to Yushin but he would get demolished
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Evilways/ evilways
He needs to fight a wrester.
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Dudenicecock/ dudenicecock
time for GSP vs Silva. ive been waiting for this fight for so long and now it finally makes sense… (if GSP beats Shields……………..) But theres no one left for Silva in MW, yes Okami was the last person to beat Silva, but it was on a techincality and we all know what would happen the second time.
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Falcon4917/ falcon4917
well he did already beat Forrest who was a former champ and who beat Shogun and he beat Franklin too who is now in the division. He beat Dan Henderson who was in that division as well and Cote so thats a few guys in the division that make a good statement as well as the fact he is a champ right now in his own division which he is uncontested.
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Headxkick/ headxkick
after okami that division is cleaned, he should move up or down. i think he should move up cause both of his light hw bouts were prettty exciting, IMO
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Japanegro23/ japanegro23
Uh no….
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Japanegro23/ japanegro23
Probably but give the man a shot haha!
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Bruce-Lee/ Bruce Lee
Silva should get GSP
Belfort should get Seagal
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Irish-fighter/ irish-fighter
I think GSP has the best shot at defeating AS.
A. S. has only fought two wrestlers in his UFC career, Henderson was the first to win a round against him and sonnen 4 and a half rounds. He is lucky that the middleweight division has the least high calibre wrestlers in the UFC.
http://lowkickmma.com/members/D/ D
He's also a lot smaller than Sonnen, and his interviews aren't as entertaining.

|Reviews for The Last Son, Book Three: Changes
| LaNaturalBreezeOf-Books chapter 43 . 7/4/2014
To be truthful, I couldn't enjoy the character of Alison Blaire. Everything else was exceptional; the descriptions and dialogue was engaging and was what pulled me through this monster story!
I tried to give Alison a chance like you said but I was turned off and frustrated by the way she talked to Clark; constant giggling is probably a common female trait but it made her look like a schoolgirl that still gossips to her friends about how cute the new guy was. I'm not exactly a expert on Clark Kent/Kal-El's character but he is a mature adult that is past the schoolgirl types.
I recognised that most of the females in the story, when engaged in a romantic scene, coo a lot. Cooing is aimed at children or cute animals, or in a joking manner if it is aimed at an older person.
I cringed every time Alison cooed at Clark. Whatever mature romantic stuff going on at the time was promptly *killed* by that almost degrading choice of word. I can't help it if you really believe that is how Superman's one true love should speak to him as if he were a child.
I appreciated the attempt to make Alison more tasteful to the readers by making her sort out her own problems with the whole break up thing but she was pretty weak in dealing with her emotions. Like, get over it!
I see Superman as a man and too many times have I seen Alison be an emotionally weak and inferior female that should have been like Lana; left in the past. I admit I skipped a lot of a Alison/Clark moments because it made me swear in frustration few times too many.
I stayed for the Zod plot and I wasn't disappointed. The General could have been one awesome 'take no bullzhuut from no one' sort of guy which is needed but I guess fate has a strong grip on him. I also really liked your creative use of onomatopoeia. Haven't read much comics of watched many tv shows so I'm taking everything as I see it! Can I ask a question, how many science-babble-historic stories, words and phrases are real? It is so easy to believe everything.
Good job I was impressed! ;)

I hope the fourth book has Cadmus being taken down, with Lassider standing trial for treason. He not only disobeyed a lawful order from his superior, but one from his Commander-In-Chief. That's treason, an offense that brings with it the death penalty.

When using the Kelvin scale, you don't use degrees. You just say the number and Kelvin (or K, for short,) such as 0 Kelvin, which is absolute zero, with the Celsius equivalent being -273.15 degrees Celsius.

I have two questions. 1) Is Deadpool a character of any canon, either Marvel or DC? 2) This is the second meta-break of the fourth wall I've seen in this story. Is this common for Deadpool, either as a canon character or as an OC?
Beyond those... I don't have words to describe how amazing this story is. Just when I thought you've outdone yourself, you quickly go one better.
I'm looking forward to reading the oncoming battle. (There are SO many subplots going on, you have plenty of material for the NEXT story, as well.)

General Zod IS everything Superman's detractors thought Kal was.
Kal is content to live peacefully, and help everyone around him do the same. Dru wants to take the Kryptonian superior intellect and power, and take over Earth and its various races present, probably at great cost to everyone involved.
Kal will learn that his godfather is the tyrant the inhabitants of Earth fear. That won't end well. The upcoming clash between Zod and the son of Jor-El will devastate poor Kal.
But I'm sure that Kal will win. He won't be unscathed, but he will succeed, or at least draw a temporary stalemate.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
I'm looking forward to reading further.

I suspect an odd romance coming up. Batman and Wonder Woman are unlikely but interesting.
And you are right: Joker's evil is a vicious type of crazy most our protagonists haven't encountered until now.
I look forward to reading further.

The sad thing is that Superman can actually read the writing and could answer their questions.
However, I guess this is part of the Kryptonian ethos: if the native Earth people figure out how and why the Kree stuff works on their own, that might be close enough to not violate the "do not interfere" rule.
Lorna is Magneto's daughter. You know, if Erik would have simply met her without any ulterior motives, a lot of family reconciliation could have occurred. Instead, Magneto used Lorna.
I find it interesting that the Mutant parents just don't seem to do good jobs towards their kids. At least Mystique is trying to correct her past wrong doings by being a better mother now.
From the little we've seen, Sebastian Shaw has been awful to Shinobi. Sebastian could have a much better relationship with his son, but he chooses to only value Shinobi by how successful a minion he is.
I wonder if Dr. Doom would turn on Anita if she gave up on Superman for a suitor. I also wonder who Anita would settle for, should she give up he pursuit. But first, she would have to learn that people are not possessions to be used at will.
Considering her father, Anita would have difficulty with that. However, it might be possible, and weirder things have happened.
I look forward to reading further.

Love the part of Alison leaving. About time. Hate the part about all the villains escaping. It's getting annoying. They should be killed ahead when Superman had the chance.
| HaywireEagle chapter 43 . 4/22/2013
It took me forever to get through these three books and here I am now, ready to take the final step.
From book one where Kal was a rookie Hero with high hopes. I read on as he grew into his destiny and fought greater and greater odds to find acceptance in a world that stands in fear and awe of his powers and technology. Watched as he struggled through betrayal and covert plots from all sides. Watched as he found love, family, while always trying to be the beacon his father Jor-El wanted and his adoptive one Jonathan knew in his heart.
All I can say is good job and I look forward to continuing reading this marvel of fan fiction no matter how long it will take.
I have loved every twist and turn and look forward to the last set you will undoubtedly bring to us. You have cemented yourself as a favorite that should be read by all as a cornerstone of this art.
You have created a piece of work blending the worlds of Marvel and DC in ways few could even muster. Thank you for putting these words to paper.
