Depression is all too common for Christian leaders. Research from the Clergy Health Initiative at Duke Divinity School indicates that clergy members are (by rather conservative figures) over 1.5 times more likely to experience depression than members of the general population.
Leadership Journal wants you to take care of yourself. It was a key theme of a full issue recently, and of many excellent pieces we've published in the past. If you experience routine depression, or struggle with healthy self-care, please seek out professional counseling. In the spirit of health and honesty, here's our friend Lane's three simple tips for those mornings when life feels like the pits.
King David is a common biblical example of (usually) great leadership. But if we read the Psalms it is clear that David spent a lot of time in despair. Or, more poetically, "the pit." In Psalm 69 we catch a glimpse of David, the despairing leader. He writes:
Lord, the Lord Almighty, may those who hope in you not be disgraced because of me; God of Israel, may those who seek you not be put to shame because of me.
I am clinically depressed but I am also a leader in my work, church, and a father of five. When I read David's words I hear myself on a bad day. Those days when I wake up and I'm not sure why I am doing what I am doing. When I don't feel good about myself. When I don't want to get out of bed. How can I lead anyone? I think on those mornings. I can't even lead myself.
Like most of you, I can't just phone it in and sleep until I feel better. I have to get up, go to work, write and teach, love my wife and kids, even when I feel worthless. How is that possible?
For what it's worth, I have developed a short three point checklist to help bring clarity and direction to my work and life even when I don't feel like doing any of it:
1. I remind myself that God is Almighty.
David's prayer in the verse above reflects a truth he knows when he feels weak or strong, God is the one who is in charge. Our feelings don't change that. It might not make us feel better right away. But it is important to remember.
2. I do a basic inventory of my emotions.
Is there a reason I feel the way I do? Has someone criticized me? Have I wronged someone? There are legitimate reasons that I feel off of my game. But since I suffer from depression I know that sometimes I'll feel off my game for no reason at all.
3. I do my best and let God make up the rest.
Once I've established that the way I feel is not indicative of an external reality, I basically allow myself to go through the day just doing the best I can. Sometimes that means I move a little slower or I don't accomplish everything I had hoped to. But sometimes slowing down makes me notice things I wouldn't have otherwise. At the end of the day I know that God will take the little that I have to give and use it for his glory.

This is a great product. We have a thirteen year old cat who is in amazing health other than a little bit of joint discomfort. We use the liquid version of this with her and you can really tell the difference.

I've asked Muslims if it is possible to be a Muslim while rejecting Mohammad as a false prophet.<quoted text>
The last time you and I had such a conversation, I said that the Jews believe that G-d will accept all who abide by 7 principles known today as the Nohide laws. You discounted that.
You then said the Muslims believe that G-d will accept all who show minimum piety. I asked what was that minimum piety (because to me it seemed similar to the idea of the Noahide laws). You never answered that question. Could it be that minimum piety means becoming a Muslim?
Who Is Allah?
There are 220038 comments on the The Brussels Journal story from Aug 24, 2007, titled Who Is Allah?. In it, The Brussels Journal reports that:
"Allah is a very beautiful word for God. Shouldn't we all say that from now on we will name God Allah? [...] What does God care what we call him?"

Viewpoint: Pro-Life and Feminism Arent Mutually Exclusive
From its early beginnings, feminism was a young womens movement. Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Alice Paul, Charlotte Lozier and so many others began their suffragist work in their 20s. These women the original feminists understood that the rights of women cannot be built on the broken backs of unborn children. Anthony called abortion child murder. Paul, author of the original 1923 Equal Rights Amendment, said that abortion is the ultimate exploitation of women.
So the pro-life movement hasnt changed the meaning of feminism, as has been suggested. It was the neo-feminists of the 1960s and 70s who asked women to prize abortion as the pathway to equality.
Not only does this young generation of pro-life women shun the notion that abortion somehow liberates women; it views abortion as the civil- and human-rights cause of our day. Abortion is an injustice that permeates our society. Forty years after Roe v. Wade, we realize that a third of our peers are not here to share our progress and our hopes. It is our loss as well as theirs.
In his letter from a Birmingham, Ala., jail, Martin Luther King Jr. wrote,Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. It is in this same spirit of King and the original feminists that young pro-life women are rising up in increasing numbers to say abortion is a radical injustice that affects us all and must end. Achieving this will require more efforts to extend our understanding of the equal rights of the disabled unborn, prevent rape and make this crime against women a thing of the past, expand adoption and make the benefits of modern prenatal care and specialties like fetal surgery more available, so that even younger and sicker children can be spared an early death.
Our fight transcends elections and legislative battles because our fight is in our hearts. This is why, 40 years after Roe, our movement is still growing. We wont give up; we cant give up. Our fight is for life.

Idiot I never said he fabricated anything. If I implied it, i didnt mean to.
was that 16 years later another scholar looked into the issue and had a slightly different conclusion.]
This is how historical studies work.
Each work IMPROVES on the previous, and/or criticizes the previous.
If you have a problem with that, adress it to the second work 16 years later, NOT ME.
More importantly, read BOTH works. At this point you havent even read the first work. All you do it cut and paste, and ground your comments on reputation instead of CONTENT.
Moving on. i.e. please dont bother replying the same reply again.

Excerpts from the Gospel of Barnabas, Part-29
Chapter 61 : Parables
There was a man who gave money to his neighbours that they might trade with it, and the profit should be divided in a just proportion. And some traded well, so that they doubled the money. But some used the money in the service of the enemy of him who gave them the money, speaking evil of him. Tell me now, when the neighbour shall call the debtors to account how shall the matter go? Assuredly he will reward those who traded well, but against the others his anger shall vent itself in reproaches. And then he will punish them according to the Law.
As God lives, in whose presence my soul stands, the neighbour is God, who has given to man all that he has, with life itself, so that,[man] living well in this world, God may have praise, and man the glory of paradise. For those who live well double their money by their example, because sinners, seeing their example, are converted to repentance; wherefore men who live well shall be rewarded with a great reward. But wicked sinners, who by their sins halve what God has given them, by their lives spent in the service of Satan the enemy of God, blaspheming God and giving offence to others tell me what shall be their punishment?" "It shall be without measure," said the disciples.
Note: Beautiful preaching indeed (MUQ)
Chapter 62
Then Jesus said: "He who would live well should take example from the merchant who locks up his shop, and selling guards it day and night with great diligence. And again the things which he buys he is fain to make a profit; for if he perceives that he will lose thereby he will not sell, no, not to his own brother. Thus then should you do; for in truth your soul is a merchant, and the body is the shop: wherefore what it receives from outside, through the senses, is bought and sold by it. And the money is love. See then that with your love you do not sell nor buy the small thought by which d work be all for you cannot profit. But let thought, speech, and love of God; for so shall you find safety in that day.
Truly I say to you, that many make ablutions and go to pray, many fast and give alms, many study and preach to others, whose end is abominable before God; because they cleanse the body and not the heart, they cry with the mouth not with the heart; they abstain from meats, and fill themselves with sins; they give to others things not good for them, in order that they may be held good; they study that they may know to speak, not to work; they preach to others against that which they do themselves, and thus are condemned by their own tongue. As God lives, these do not know God with their hearts; for if they knew him they would love him; and since whatsoever a man has he has received it from God,, even so should he spend all for the love of God."
Beautiful preaching indeed (MUQ)

I asked an honest question, and expected an honest answer. You, being the braindead Muslim zealot that you are, gave it your best shot.
#158125 Jan 9, 2013
For the "international readers," I ask if it is possible to be a Muslim while rejecting Mohammad as a false prophet because the Jews are strict mnonotheists, as they should be according to Islam, but they REJECT Mohammad as a false prophet, FOR GOOD REASONS, as they define GOOD REASONS, yet Mohammad HATED the Jews for rejecting him as a false prophet, which, by his reckoning, made them EVIL CREATURES who deserved eternal hellfire.
I think that Mohammad was quite wrong about many things, but especially his brutal mistreatment of Jews for rejecting him as false.
#158126 Jan 9, 2013
IOW, if it is NOT possible to be a Muslim while rejecting Mohammad as a false prophet, then Islam is idolatrous, PERIOD.

I've always thought, that business goals of a company should be the main reason behind everything else. While being an experienced developer myself, I saw many projects fail, because of the wrong priorities, but as a technical expert I couldn't do anything about wrong business decisions made during the planning phase, no matter how skillful I was in my duties. To prevent possible failures, I started contributing my skill and expertise during the earlier phases of development. Soon, I was the one, who actually proposed the ways to compete against rivals and assured, that they were realized correctly. So now, my prime job is business consulting and project management, but I'm still participating in interesting projects to be in touch with all new technologies over there.

A new battle over late-term abortion is expected to start Thursday on Capitol Hill when South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham will introduce the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act banning abortions after five months of pregnancy, something the vast majority of women in America support.
"I am proud to lead this charge. This is a debate worthy of a great democracy. When do you become you: At 20 weeks of a pregnancy? What is the proper role of the government in protecting that child?" Graham said on Fox News Sunday earlier this week.
Graham is supported by a host of pro-life groups and opposed by abortion giant Planned Parenthood, which is currently petitioning the Supreme Court to overturn a ban on abortions after five months in Texas.
Live Action, an pro-life investigative group, is applauding Graham's legislation.
"Live Action's investigations have proven repeatedly that America's abortion industry, no matter how 'well regulated,' presents a grave threat to the health and lives of both mothers and their babies. While we continue to fight for the lives and safety of every pre-born child, we note that the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act makes real progress toward protecting some children, while reining in abortion corporations like Planned Parenthood, and safeguarding women from unscrupulous, profit-driven abortion doctors. We look forward to seeing Senate Majority Leader Reid bring it up for a vote," President of Live Action Lila Rose said in a statement.
Pro-abortion groups are banking on the legislation failing in the Democratic controlled Senate.

I like your style in taking photos and having organize your gadgets because most photographers often forget some important things needed for the shooting. - YORHealth
A Case for Two Cameras
Like some later Olympus cameras, including the superlative OM-D EM-5, the Ricoh GRD can bracket creative effects, shooting a single exposure and processing the image three different ways. I keep one GRD set to bracket three different color settings, and the other to shoot one "Standard" color and two different monochromes. I find it faster to switch cameras than to change settings. .
Although camera number two is set for black and white, I have it set to begin the three-shot bracket with a normal color image. I never want to be in the position of kicking myself for shooting something in mono and later wishing I had the color version. .
So that I can tell at a quick glance which camera is set for color bracketing and which for mono, I take advantage of one of Ricoh's oft overlooked features: you can attach a wrist strap to either side, just like every other camera, and you can attach one at the bottom of the right hand side. Normally you would use the lower attachment point if you were using a neckstrap and wanted to carry the camera vertically. Without even thinking (which is how I often find myself) I know that the camera that has the strap attached at the bottom is set up to shoot in black and white.
I carry one Ricoh GRD in a Manfrotto Stile Nano case. I like this case because it has a very large, secure belt loop and a flap that fully covers the camera, but is still quick to open. The other camera is in my hand, pants pocket or gadget bag. It may not be the most elegant system, but it's working for me.
Please comment! I'd really like to hear what you're thinking.

And the Oscar goes to... Naples
The Oscars ceremony is the motion picture industry's biggest night. No one knows that better than Tom Sherak, president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which organizes and administers the annual competition.
Just three nights after the awards, Sherak trekked to Naples at the invitation of PNC Wealth Management to speak at its private event as part of its "Pathfinders" program.
"Even as big as Oscar night is, it's just one night in the mission of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences," said Sherak. "Education encompasses a huge part of our mission at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and if you think about it, you can go anywhere in the world and all you have to do to strike up a conversation is start talking about a movie."
The talk was at Silverspot Cinema at Mercato, a backdrop apropos for the special guest. There, surrounded by movie posters and people scurrying to make a show, Sherak talked with attendees and posed for numerous photos with an actual Oscar statue, which people clamored to hold as they posed for pictures with Sherak.
Oscar is no shrinking violet — at 13½ inches tall and weighing 8½ pounds, he is crafted from nickel, copper and 24-karat gold, and each one costs $1,850 to create.
After the social hour, Sherak led a question-and-answer session, responding on topics from the future of movies, to Sherak's own favorite films ("The Godfather" and "The Godfather II") to how the process works behind the scenes.
In an era when people are increasingly streaming video, he shared why it's important for people to keep going to the movies.
"Movies are meant to tell stories on a big screen, and are about culture," he said.
"It's about keeping the integrity to make movies for the big screen — the lights go out, you're next to a stranger about to see a film and chances are neither of you know how it's going to come out, but you each have that experience and can form your own opinions on it."
In a time when people can watch movies on a smartphone, Sherak responded that the future will have to deal with such viewing habits.
"Change is like a train, and when you find out that the train has left the station, you have to figure out how to get on it," he said.
Sherak spoke of some of the other programs the Academy supports:
The Margaret Herrick Library, which contains one of the top motion pictures research collections in existence
The Academy Film Archive, which collects, restores and documents films
The Science and Technology Council
Public programming that includes film retrospectives, lectures and exhibits
"The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to work around the world promoting arts and science in movies — which promotes the art and science of filmmaking and all the crafts that go into making a film," he said.
Its educational and outreach activities include financial grants to film-related organizations and institutions and outreach to high school students on the craft of filmmaking and encouraging future filmmakers.
Sherak is excited about a permanent Academy museum in the planning stages that would have interactive installations and public programming. He also looks forward to a planned Academy outdoor theater.
In sharing his passion for movies, Sherak gave attendees a glimpse into why he loves films so much.
"Filmmaking is not for the faint of heart," he said. "Movies are also about what they've done to us, and for us. For example, 'The Godfather' taught us about power, while 'Forrest Gump' taught us about humanity. Some movies will stand the test of time and only time will tell.""
Sherak will step down from his presidency in August when his term expires.

what determines a coastal cruiser???
I think Troy and I are being really particular because we''re trying to find the best bang for our buck. I will admit, cabin niceities are a plus for me (especially with a less than enthusiastic fiance) but safety and strengh are the most important.
Let me ask this and maybe this will help...what are some good numbers to look for? What is a good displacement weight for a coastal crusier that will do occasional longer hauls (Bahamas)? What are good lengths and beams? I''m looking now at a 27'' S@ but it seems lightweight. I need something that drafts no more than 5'' because of my home area. Any suggestions or advice on particular numbers to look out for?

Scientology Protesters Confront Holmes; Critics Confront Tale
Last night Katie Holmes appeared in the first preview performance of the Broadway revival of Arthur Miller's All My Sons, reports the New York Daily News. Among the pre-first-nighters were Tom Cruise and Scientology protesters. "We aren't protesting Katie," a demonstrator told the News. "We've heard that Katie isn't able to leave [Scientology] because of Tom Cruise."
More bad Broadway juju: a new musical version of A Tale of Two Cities opened last night, and Newyorkology rounds up the mostly awful reviews, several of which inevitably say, "It was the worst of times -- it was the worst of times."

Feel the need to talk sh*t about C-San? You'd be better off saving your breath. On new single Hate on Me, released along with visuals by Eddy Orellana, the Los Angeles repper pre-emptively informs his critics that they have zero chance of breaking his stride. In addition to handling production duties, Iman Omari tops the record off with an appropriately blasé chorus. For more, check out C-San's DJBooth-sponsored Dreams and Reality street album, released last week and available here for free streaming and download.

Amid ongoing speculation that Mitt Romney might choose Rob Portman to be his running mate, Ohians close to the Republican senator are bullish about the possibility that their favorite son could join a national ticket.
Robert Bennett, the longtime chairman of the Ohio Republican Party, is one of them. For months, Bennett has lobbied Romney's campaign staffers to choose Portman, who he says would take "Ohio out of play."
"I've done everything I could to put him in that position myself," Bennett told Yahoo News during a recent interview at the Republican National Committee headquarters. "I've talked to the Romney campaign."
Bennett's pitch on Portman's behalf to the Romney campaign is four-fold:
1. Ohio is a must-win state. Bennett contends that Portman would give Republicans a 3- to 5-point boost in Ohio, a crucial swing state that early indicators suggest will be closely divided in November. So far, however, recent polls show that a Romney-Portman ticket might not swing many votes in Ohio. While popular near his home in Cincinnati, Portman is still relatively unknown throughout other parts of the state.
2. No surprises, no drama. Unlike certain recent running mate selections, Portman wouldn't spring many surprises on the GOP nominee. As a former congressman, a director of the Office of Budget and Management under George W. Bush, and a U.S. Trade Representative, Portman's life has been an open book for at least two decades. "He's been vetted two or three times for major executive positions in government," Bennett said.
3. The perfect supporting player. Bennett argues that the low-key Portman would have no trouble -- unlike some of the other contenders the Romney campaign may be considering -- playing second fiddle to the party nominee. "He's not going to overshadow Romney," Bennett said. "He's very careful about that."
4. An independent man. According to Bennett, Portman could appeal to independent voters who may be looking for an alternative to President Barack Obama. "He'll come across as very competent. If you're trying to reach independent voters in Ohio, which is a majority of our voters, those are people who study issues and candidates," he said. "If you're playing to the independents you need to bring competence into it."
There's something else about Portman that makes him stand out, Bennett added: He's not a jerk.
"You know, the problem with conservatives sometimes, they always talk like they're mean," Bennett said. "Have you ever noticed that? Conservatives are mean. They never have a smile on their face. Rob's not that way. Rob's a solid conservative, but he's not a nasty conservative."
That's one sentiment that seems to be shared between those who have worked with Portman, both Republican and Democrat. They describe a man who avoids throwing barbs, even during moments of disagreement. Bennett's partisan counterpart, Ohio Democratic Party Chairman Chris Redfern, described Portman as "polite" and "not a pain in the ass" in a recent interview with The New Republic.

PORTSMOUTH-City officials in Portsmouth say some areas of the city has 10' of snow and other areas reporting nearly 9'.
Crews with Public Works are still working to clear city-maintained bridges, overpasses, Fire Station areas, and primary roads and will stay on the clock until they're cleared. 'The Interstate and most main roads are passable,' said City spokeswoman Dana Woodson. 'There are two crews with 20 people each working 12-hour shifts to clear the roads.'
While crews will clear the main roads, that doesn't mean it will be safe to get in your car and drive around.
Drivers are urged to remain off the roads as driving conditions are difficult and potentially hazardous due to snow and ice.
For anyone who parked their vehicles in downtown parking garages last night, there's no problem leaving them there you can keep them there again today at no charge.

Favorite thing: Lively and exciting dance and music performances are held here every Saturday night for a modest entrance fee; alternatively Prapat hotel has a similar cultural exhibition on their premises for tour groups.
The week-long Lake Toba Festival is held annually in June, where alongside the song and dance, is the fascinating canoe race held by competing villages.
Fondest memory: The lake and the mountain...
Tree Lined Roads & Nice Roundabouts
Favorite thing: My first impression of Medan from the airport was the beautiful trees along the road. It reminded me of Penang and Nanjing.
In many places due to widening of roads, trees have to be cut down to make way for more lanes. Hopefully the trees along the roads of Medan will be preserved.
Not only the trees provide greenery and shade, they are so important symbolically in our world working against global warming.
There are several endearing roundabouts with fountains and small monuments. Hope they will not all be replaced by "efficient but lack of character" traffic lights anytime soon.
Road Side "Restaurants"
Favorite thing: At the corner of the busy road, I was fascinated by the sight a local woman selling her breakfast/lunch menu of rice with different curry dishes.
A mobile unit, there seems to be complaints by the locals or interference by the authorities.
There were a few stools for her diners or you could take away (to go).
There are many enterprising foodstalls over all Medan.
Tourist Information Office
Favorite thing: There is a Tourist Information Office at the entrance of Kesawan Square with a prominent sign. It is a few houses away from Tjong A Fie Mansion. I took a quick look, not as well stocked as I would have expected.
There was one staff helping an Indonesian tourist. So I did not hang around.
So better to get your free city map and information from the concierge at your hotel. Most of the becak and taxi drivers seemed familiar with the major sights and shopping malls shown on the map.
Favorite thing: Yes, if you on a becak behind a car, you can smell the fumes.
But what a wonderful surprise when I was walking opposite the Post Office at Merdeka Square and looked into the drain surrounding the square right in downtown heart of Merdeka.
There were the usual clot of urban rubbish but the water in the drain was clear with green growth and teeming with fish - the ferral guppies. Reminded me of Penang many years ago.
This was an indication that pollution level in Medan is still low compared with many fast growing Asian cities. Hopefully, a healthy balance will be maintained as Medan inevitably will developed from a quiet laybaid city to a thriving metropolis in the future.
Heritage buildings
Favorite thing: There are many beautiful heritage buildings of colonial administration and the prewar shops of Kesawan Square area.
While some are conserved and used as banks and musuems, many are neglected and hopefully UNESCO and other world wide agencies will help to restore them to their former glory.
I was impressed by giant Greek columns, delicate window frames and the Tjong A Fie Mansion.
Perhaps, tourism can be a driving force to avoid these heritage buildings from being torn down. So do visit Medan....
Medan "Starbucks"
Favorite thing: At the Main Post Office, I observed many locals having their coffee at this mobile "coffee shop" by the road side.
Across the road was a 24 hour McDonald serving their breakfast menu but it had fewer clients.
At least for the time being, it is great that everyone has a choice of going local or "international".
Prayers as your take off
Favorite thing: I was alerted while on board "Lion Air" that stashed in the pouch behind every seat with the standard plane safety and evacuation pamphlet is another pamphlet called "Invocation".
The invocation contains prayers of different religions, Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism. It is all in Bahasa Indonesia.
Not sure if this is a good sign for boarding passengers but a prayer or two does not hurt...
Favorite thing: My second time here - Danau Toba & Samosir Island. My fascination is still intact -- . They offer FANTASTIC VIEW....
At 8am you can see top of green hills (surrounding the lake) covered by mist -- BEAUTIFULl!! it's a natural beauty - like a truly nice paintings.
Fondest memory: Shopping in Tomok, area in samosir island :) i love all the bargains and the people!
- Backpacking
Beautiful Cake Deco
Favorite thing: For those bakers out there, don't miss the opportunity to visit local bakery. The cake decoration displayed was wonderful. wanted to take pictures but was not allowed. may be they are afraid of me stealing their design.

I think it should be
Thanks for voting, the top three spots were decided by the reader poll from the site. It seems like Fedor Emelianenko is the clear winner. George St. Pierre and Anderson Silva round out the top three. Only a few votes are separating GSP and Anderson Silva.
Unless there is a big change in the poll, this is what the readers voted for and what will represent the site.
Cage Today Pound 4 Pound Rankings (no limit)
I think it should be
This is dumb…..Based on skill and not popularity –
1)Anderson Silva – nobody even close to his skill
2)GSP – Genetic freak
3)BJ Penn – Dominant at Lightweight even with loss to GSP
4 and 5) Cross between Lyoto and Rashad – Both have beat everyone put in front of them in the UFC
5)Fedor – based on record alone….Only fights top ranked competition every once and a while…he would eventually get beat in the UFC…..not saying he wouldn't be good and even be champ but he would have to repeatedly fight top ranked competition and he would eventually lose.
alves wishes he was 10 in the world
Alves is tearing up the welter wieghts, but yeah, I think it may be a little early to put him on this list.
mmamania.com is reporting that Fedor is gonna talk to Dana White for a possible superfight with Brock Lesnar after Fedor fights in his 3rd affliction card and if Brock can pull the W against Mir.
But then again, we've all been here before but can't say you arent even a lil excited even if it's just a rumor
I'm not putting it past Brock to improve a whole lot technicall before the years out. But if he doesn't then Fedor is going to hand him a loss.
I say take Alves out of the top 10 because he pretty recently got busted for a banned substance and he didn't even officially make weight when he fought Hughes, so you have to dock him points for that.
Pound for pound is based on how well you do against larger opponents, period. If you base it on how well you do against opponents of the same size, it's called weight classes. They already have those! GSP has never faced a larger stronger opponent. In fact It took him 3 rounds to beat a smaller Penn! Which means a 155 GSP would lose to a 155 Penn. His last fight actually moves him further from the top of the list. Putting Rampage in this list is just the worst, though!! The man walks around at 230, which is Fedor's weight. Until Quinton fights someone who is as big and strong as him he has no place on this list. He consistantly fights weaker, smaller opponents. Wanderlei should be on this list, he competed in the Pride open weight tournament and is the only person to KO Iron Head Fujita! Dan Henderon is another, but the king has to be Fedor. By UfC standards he would be a normal sized light-heavyweight. Don't even think of submitting Brock lessnar, until he fights a silverback, or a polar bear. Of course a skilled 300lb. man can beat a skilled 220lb. man. I didn't hesitate a second picking Brock over Couture. This seems more like a popularity contest! No mention of Shogun, another small light heavy. No mention of Henderson or the Axe Murderer! You might as well just put the champions of each weight class as the best p4p. The bottom line is you can't speculate how well a 230lb. GSP would do. You have to rate them on past performances and future intentions.
brs- chuck and especially forest walk around a lot heavier than rampage does. even jardien will have somewhat of a size advantage against rampage. and when Fitch faught Gsp to me he looked like the bigger man.
Thats a draw back of weight cutting. Some guys can do 20 lbs and others 10 or none at all. If you can't beat the bigger guys you need to drop.
The reason why champions are on everyones p4p list is because they don't just win but they win top talent consistently. Wandi doesn't deserve to be on that list yet, Hendo probably should. I'm all for replacing Alves with Hendo.
fuck all the fedor-haters and ufc's nuthugers!!!!!!!
Fuck affliction and all the fedor nuthugers. Whats wrong with an organization that wants to have all the top ranked guys. UFC puts dream matches up. Way better fights than Affliction….I dont see whats wrong with the UFC
Perfect point, BRS. It does look more like a popularity contest. And for the record, I am a fan of all of those fights…well maybe not Rashad because he's a tool! Fedor, Anderson, BJ, and Rashad are the only ones who should be on that list. Keep in mind, though, that this is a readers poll and has no basis in reality other than spelling the fighters names right.
oh god i dont know what i would do without a new pound for pound top ten list every twenty seconds. Who cares most of these guys will never fight… or at least again. Can we talk about something that may actually matter
I tend to agree with STEVEO…. But, if Fedor came to the UFC it could be possible to see Anderson Silva v Fedor at 205… to me this is really interesting Match up.. more interesting than Fedor fighting Lesnar – Fedor is too small for the UFC HW Division… and there are better match ups at 205! Rampage/Chuck/Rashad/Machida/Griffin etc…
For what it's worth Fedor is the P4P no 1 n my book
Dane, no light heavy weights walk around a LOT heavier than 230. Chuck weighs about the same as Rampage and carries 10+lbs. of belly fat alone. As for Forrest, yes he is taller and has a longer frame but is nowhere near as strong as rampage! Did you see UFC 86? At no point did Forrest overpower or even try to overpower Quinton. In fact his whole gameplan was to move away and attack at angles. He even said himself, Rampage hits MUCH harder than I do. Did you see Rampage's fight with Kevin Randleman? The Monster couldn't even take rampage down, and lost via 1st round TKO. Rampage is fortunate in being the perfect size for the LH division. Keep in mind I'm not bashing him, or any of them. In fact I picked Quinton to beat Chuck, and most recently Wanderlei. I also picked Griffin to beat Rampage! Only because I knew Rampage didn't take Forrest seriously, and came in, in the worst shape I have ever seen him in! Kash- How can you say Wanderlei isn't ready YET. The Axe murderer stood alone on Pride's Middleweight throne for SIX years! He replaced an injured Fedor in the open weight tournament, beating Fujita and suffering a brutal KO loss to Cro Cop. Take in mind that is the second time Wanderlei fought Mirko. He has brutally KO'd Jackson twice, and it took him all of 34 or 36 seconds to beat Jardine. He has lost 4 out of his last 5 fights and all of these losses were against champions or former champions. Cro Cop, Henderson, Liddell, and Rampage! What other LH, has even faced this kind of competition, let alone back to back to back. Wanderlei is an animal and always fights the best competition regardless of size. Also keep in mind his KO loss to quinton was from a counter punch. He was bringing it to a retreating Jackson, and yes it was a lucky punch. He had just finished covering and his eyes were closed and he threw a homerun punch. Rampage is a great counter puncher yes, and I'm a big fan of his. He will get the title back, and he can be the champ for as long as he wants. But just like his fight with Eastman, when he can't find a counter it will be a boring fight! I like Wanderlei because he would attack an ape just for the fight of it!!!
brs u are confusing size with strength. yes rampage may be stronger than forest and chuck but he is not bigger. look at their stare downs at the weigh ins to those fights he is much smaller. nobody can deny how powerful rampage is just look at his slam of arona but saying " At no point did Forrest overpower or even try to overpower Quinton." is a really dumb thing to say. ya thats why forest manhandled rampage on the mat for the entire 2nd round so badly that he got a 10-8. forest isnt just lengthy he is thick too and is prolly one of if not the biggest 205'ers there is in the ufc.
Dane- We both know that rampage was hurt by the leg kicks. Yes forest has the largest frame. You are confusing skeletal mass with usable strength and size. Rampage's neck, arms, shoulders, chest, legs and body have more muscle mass. But Forrest and Chuck would win in a tall contest!
ya ur right brs griffin must have super thick bones and rampage must have thin bones with huge muscles. how could anyone even know that? lol
the fact is that forrest is naturaly bigger than rampage. ya hes taller but he's not skin and bones bro he is a thick dude himself. matt serras arms are bigger around than GSP's it doesnt mean he is bigger by any means. Griffin has a way bigger frame than quinton. and ya he overpowered rampage to a 10-8 second round with devastating leg kicks with his huge legs that are part of his huge body. just cuz forest cant hit as hard as rampage doesnt make him smaller. i bet you rampage cant kick nearly as hard as forest. Crocop is way smaller than bob sapp but he hits a lot harder.
Dane- Okay now you're just being silly. You're obviously an intelligent person, maybe I didn't explain it properly. Chuck and Forest are naturally a little bigger. If the fights were at heavyweight then we could see how much. What I'm saying is the fights are at 205. And at 205, because of a smaller frame, Rampage carries more muscle into the fight. At 205 he will never face a bigger(muscle wise) fighter. The closest would have to be Eastman or Randleman( both were too muscle bound though). When Forrest and Rampage were doing the Ultimate fighter, Rampage was quoted as saying he weighed 235. If Forrest walks around at 280! he still has to make 205, and as I said, at 205 he still carries less muscle. As far as the Biggest Light Heavyweight, that would go to Alistair Overeem. He is 6'5'' and now fights at 240 because cutting to 205 takes too much out of bigger fighters. Thats why he got tired so quickly in Pride. I'm a Griffin fan as well, but at 205 he will always be lanky and cumbersome. If he moved to heavyweight he would make a great 250lb fighter, though! He simply can't add muscle mass with that frame and make 205.
i agree with you that rampage is stronger for sure and has a lot more muscles. the only reason i even said anything is u said he shouldnt be on the pound for pound list because he consistently fights weaker and smaller opponents. i just disagree its no bigee. i dont think the people he has faught lately are much smaller than him. the point im trying to get across is some people are naturally bigger than others like some people who dont work out at all and are a lean 180 and then there are people who bulk up to become 180. the person who is a natural 180 is the bigger person in my view because he has the ability to always be bigger if he wanted. Alls im saying is im pretty sure forrest and chuck both on fight day WEIGHED MORE and were Taller than rampage. if that's not bigger then what the hell is? There for rampage does not continuously fight smaller fighters. maybe he fights fighters who arent as physically chiseled but thats not his fault. i think pound for pound lists are retarded tho aswell. they mean nothing.
great stuff luke
Why argue about whos bigger? It doesnt matter lol. They are built in diffrent ways. Rampage weighs that much because of muscle and Forrest is just naturally that big. Forrest cuts a lot of weight to get to 205 and Rampage can fight at 185. And Dane the only reason Forrest controlled Rampage on the ground was b/c rampage was still fucked up from the leg kicks that damn near cut him down like a tree. he was resting it that round.
A taller frame means longer and possibly thicker bones. The longer and/or thicker they are, the more they weigh. I wouldn't base it off any of that though like Steve said.
At the same time, I am positive Griffin doesn't have as much muscle mass and functional strength as Rampage.
Dane- As for the Jardine fight, Rampage is a great counter puncher, and he will be the stronger man. If Jardine can keep away and land form the outside he could win a decision. Most likely Rampage will finish him in 2, though. All I was saying is Rampage is tailor-made for 205. He is in the top 5 hardest hitters, and top 5, if not no.1, best chins in the division. He has a head like an Ape, with an enormous jaw. He is very difficult to hurt. Since moving to the UFC, he has become even more difficult to hit. He never keeps his hands low like Chuck does. My favorite fighter is still Wanderlei, but I have so much respect for Rampage. He is the first and only person to unify the light heavyweight divison. He should have been given a rematch immediately with Griffin. You must decisively beat the champion to take his crown. Forrest clearly won 2 rounds, but in the other 3 did he do enough to decisively take the undisputed crown? I don't think so. In my mind even without the title he is the #.1. 205er in the world. If he keeps his head straight and stays on track, he will be the champion again by the close of this year! By the way it is fun talking on this site! I've never posted comments before and you all are a good crowd! It is interesting to disagree, and I look forward to more topics! Thanks, guys!
By the way Dane you make great points, good talking with you!!
brs- u dont have to lecture me on why rampage would beat jardine are u serious? lol i have never said jardine will have an advantage in anything against rampage. rampage is the favorite for a reason. my bet is rampage is going to give jardine a real beating ive been saying that since this fight was announced.
and you make great points too man good talkin with you aswell i agree with you on basically everything the only thing i disagreed with you on was when u said quinton shouldnt be in the pound for pound rankings.
Rampage's performance against Henderson sold me on his P4P status. And the fact that he's still improving is crazy. As much as I respect Jardine at times, I think he's going to have to take some big risks for a chance at winning this fight.
Dane- The only reason I brought up Jardine is, you said jardine would have a size advantage. In my book a size advantage isn't ten pounds. Tim Sylvia had a size advantage against fedor, over 30lbs! Lessnar had a size advantage over Randy! Thats a size advantage. These guys are huge and can gain 5lbs. eating lunch, or lose 5lbs. taking a dump. Until Jackson or GSP step out of the comfort zone of their own weight-class. They shouldn't be on the p4p. Even Anderson silva stepped up to 205, which might be a better weight class for him. I don't think Irvin looked any bigger than Silva. But he fought at 206, and that is a step up. GSP fighting a smaller man is no reason to put him in the p4p rankings. When Wanderlei fought Mark Hunt at Shockwave 2004, he was out-weighed by some 50lbs! If GSP has even one fight at 185, he can talk. If Rampage fights a heavyweight, he can talk! He did have one fight in Pride against a smaller heavyweight, when he fought Igor Vovchanchyn, but he was still taller and within 5lbs. of weight. Great fight though! I wish the UFC would have tournaments like Pride did. All the top ten can enter, and the winner would be decided. Next year you do the same thing!
in a perfect world that would work but i kinda would rather people fight in their own weight classes until they truely clean it out. anderson faught up because he has basically dismantled the entire 185 division. Gsp still has to get past a very dangerous alves and possibly swick, kos and fitch could all be good opponents still. i would love to see GSP vs anderson but other than that i would like GSP to stay in his own weight class. all this jumping around in weight screws up the title picture too much in my book. i get what ur saying with wandy fighting mark hunt and stuff but this is mma and everyone is all about the what have u done for me lately. And wandy hasnt won enough lately to be ranked on a top pound for pound list right now. maybe if he beats rich at ufc 99 but not right now. see ur thinking of the pound for pound list by who has faught opponents that are bigger than themselves. i think what the pound for pound list is atleast to me is looking at all the fighters as equals and not by weight class. ranking them on how skilled the fighters are and how skilled the fighters they have beaten are. By your logic Crocop should be ranked number two behind fedor for just defeating the 350 pound hong man choi or maybe Shamrock should be ranked seeing as he weighed 205 in his last fight and just defeated Grizzly who was 380 pounds. the pound for pound rankings arent just about pounds its about skill otherwise everytime a shamrock beat a giant with a losing record he would shoot up the ranks.
hopefully my last post made some sense
P4P was made for lower weight classes in boxing as a way of determining who is the most skilled if everyone was the same weight. Now of course there is gonna be arguements over this topic lol sense its all opinion. Also if Anderson would just take out a guy who many consider to be great he will be back at 1. Just like how Fedor just beat AA. If you were to have asked who is the best p4p fighter after the A. Silva vs Hendo fight ppl would say A. Silva. So really its all about like Dane said who has done what lately.
i agree with that steve. anderson silva seemed to be the unanimous choice for p4p just a few months ago. a win over leites isn't going to boost his status too much.
1. Fedor.. he is without a doubt the greatest pound for pound fighter ever.. and when Dana signs him to the UFC, it will become 100% evident to everyone
2. Anderson Silva.. His speed and accuracy are amazing, and his record doesnt lie.
3. GSP.. Fast, strong, athletic, explosive, and probably the best wrestler in UFC… An all around amazing fighter with an amazing record.. Could be 1 or 2 spot if not for his losses to Matt Hughes and Matt Sera
OO and just to add, no other fighters come even come close to Fedor, Anderson, or Georges… So please don't compare them to Rampage or BJ

Gerry Youngewirth remembers it like you might remember your first kiss.
He was driving by Cal Hayes' house in Lemon Heights, only he didn't know it was Cal Hayes' house, or what a big shot Cal Hayes was.
"I see this house," he says. "It was like Fourth of July there with all those roses. 'Look at that!' I said to my wife. 'I'm gonna knock on the guy's door.'
"She said, 'You can't do that!' I said, 'Yeah, I'm gonna knock on his door.'"
Gerry knocked. Cal answered. Gerry told Cal he wanted to grow roses that looked like his.
"He said, 'Youcan't grow roses like that. I'm an exhibitor.' I said, 'What's an exhibitor? I just want some tips.' (I'm a New Yorker. I didn't know how to dig a hole.)"
Cal shook loose some tips, and Gerry went home. But the next day Gerry told his wife, Gloria, he was going back. "She goes, 'Ya kiddin?'" No, he wasn't kidding, he told her. "I'm gonna go see him again."
And that is how it all started. And it's a good thing it started. Because now Cal has someone he can pass the baton to.
Cal is Orange County's king of hybrid roses. Six times he won the Nicholson Perpetual Challenge Bowl, breaking the record. The Nicholson is the Olympics of hybrid tea rose competitions. To win, you must produce nine different roses, each blemish-free and perfectly unfurled, beating out hundreds of other rosarians.
"Well, I don't like to call it beating," Cal says.
Now don't confuse humble with soft. You don't grow a lifetime total of 118 Queen of Shows (like the dog world's Best in Show) by being soft.
Many a time Barb Hayes has heard her husband telling a rose bush, "Ya done good today. I'm proud of ya." But if a bush is limping along, things turn ugly. "You're out," Cal grouses.
Thousands of rose bushes have gotten the boot. He gives all rejects to the Orange County Rose Society for fundraiser auctions. His castoffs pulled the once-ailing club out of a hole two decades ago.
At one time, Cal and Barb tended 300 miniature roses and just as many hybrid teas. Today there are 400 bushes, attracting busloads of rose enthusiasts. Last week, Cal searched his yard for a rose worthy to show a visitor.
"That's awful," he said, disgusted with the sight of a perfectly charming Gemini. Alerted to a striking deep-pink Signature rose on another bush, Cal shook his head. "That's no good at all. No good. At. All."
A bush covered in blooms might produce one worthy rose, Cal says. In two decades he received a perfect score of 100 for only two roses.
"I resented the roses in the beginning because he was so wrapped up in them," Barb says. "He didn't have time. Ever. Ever. Ever."
Ironically, she started it all. On Mother's Day 1985, her son brought her a miniature rose. She gushed so much that he told her she could find thousands more at Pixie Treasures in Yorba Linda. Cal "didn't want anything to do with it. Too much trouble, he said."
Cal was born on an Alabama farm. He came to California in '48, married Barb, started a family and got a job making missile parts. For 54 years the couple has done everything together, including the grocery shopping. So when Barb went to Pixie Treasures, Cal was in the car.
But it was Cal who wanted to go back. "I just loved the way they looked." Soon they were hitting Pixie Treasures five times a week.
A year later, the president of the Orange County Rose Society was riding his bike past Cal's collection of minis and invited him to join. The couple won six blue ribbons at their first show. Now Cal had combined the two things he loved: Roses and winning.
