Mr. Charles Guesthouse: Mr. Charles Guesthouse
Mr. JoJo will mostly welcome you in the bus station or train station and introduce himself "hi, welcome to Hsipaw, I am frm Mr. Charles guesthouse.'
Based on the reputation, you will most probably stay here (as the 2 other guesthouses are nearer to the main road with more traffic). The stay was good. I stayed 5 days at Hsipaw, most of the time doing nothing.
The room in the old building is 4dollar per night, near to the lounge which may get noisier if there are more guests; and also near to the tuition center, which you make wake up by the students reading out the content of the text book very loudly every early morning.
The sunset at the new building is okie if you dont have chance to visit the sunset hill..
Great breakfast, the omelette has tomato with it :)

Myat Yatana Rest House.: Just about cornered the market.
OK, forget the name in the title of this tip - everyone knows it as Mr. Charles. If you get lost, or even if you aren't, the locals will all ask you "Mr. Charles?" and set you in the right direction. It's one of those place I am always slightly unsure about. It has reached something approaching iconic status amongst backpackers, and deservedly so - it's a wonderful place to stay. I'm just slightly concerned that the other places in town (there aren't too many), or any new ventures will never have a chance to compete against it. I have seen the phenomenon elsewhere as well.
As for the accomodation itself, well, it is excellent. If you're on a tight budget, there are very cheap rooms with shared facilities. I took a look at the facilities, which were spotless and modern. Not being too financially constrained, I took a room in the new annexe at the rear of the complex, and you can judge for yourselves from the photos. I thought it was good value. As elsewhere in Myanmar, power is sketchy and, although they do have a generator, it sometimes goes down at night so a torch is essential. I found this only added to the charm of the place somehow - elsewhere I'd have been livid. By the way, candles are provided.
The staff couldn't bee more helpful. When I arrived (without a reservation) I was shown a choice of three different rooms at varying prices - no thought of trying to foist the most expensive on me, which was a big plus right away. They are also knowledgeable in regard to local activities. Mr. Charles drew me a map by hand when I expressed a desire to go hiking by myself (I'm not really one for organised groups) which proved to be spot on. It is also really easy to organise transport from the hotel - they reserved me my train ticket back to Mandalay for nothing. If you're going that way, it's only a ten minute walk to the station.
There's also plenty of hot water at all times which is a bonus in the hills as it can get a bit chilly in the evening. Breakfast is included, although I never quite managed to make it.
This is one of those quintessential backpacker places that travellers will meet up in Berlin, New york or Timbuktoo and talk about - "Oh, you've been to Hsipaw, did you stay at Mr. Charles", that kind of thing. Absolutely totally geared to the independent traveller.

Myatyadana Guest House
Myatyadana Guest House
Mr. Charles
$3 per person in a double, with fan and attached bath. But the electricity is only on from 6PM to 6AM, so the fan only works between those hours, when there isn't a power outage in the whole town, that is.
A lot of travelers rave about this place. I added Hsipaw to my itinerary after several people in Inle Lake said, 'but you must visit Hsipaw! And stay with Mr. Charles!'
Hsipaw is several hours north of Mandalay, but worth a stop if you are a backpacker looking for the real Myanmar. This is it. See my full travelogue in the Myanmar section for 'Walkabout with Mr. Charles'.

How Many Idiots Are Happy Now? 0 commentsJun 20, 2013 4:49 PM
I've heard a lot of cries about low interest rates. The main theme was that people don't earn enough on their fixed income. Well, interest rates are up. A lot (0.9% on 10 years threasuries in 3 months - that's a lot). Of course, fixed income principal is down, a lot. So much, that you need several years of income (even at higher rates) to make it even.
So, fixed income idiots, are you happy now?Themes: Fixed IncomeBack To Alex Filonov's Instablog HomePage »

Christmas decorating sends 15,000 Americans to the E.R. every year
Santa Claus, bless his magical heart, somehow makes it safely onto millions of icy roofs every Christmas. But us mortal humans are not so lucky. Every year, 15,000 Americans end up in the emergency room thanks to Christmas decorating accidents—a decidedly unhappy start to the holidays. »

Journal of Military HistoryNina Silber uses [an] ordinary woman's appeal to the president to reveal the complexities of Northern women's relationships with the nation-state during the Civil War...In this concise and accessible work, Silber argues that the Civil War brought Northern women into a more public relationship with the federal government, but that this relationship was framed in terms of their subordination to it. Using women's diaries and letters, she discusses how such changed affected Northern women and their understandings of women's civic and politics responsibilities. While many historians see the Civil War as prodding Northern women to increased autonomy and feminist political action, Silber demonstrates that the war's impact on women was more complicated than that. The war brought neither complete liberation nor complete oppression for women, but a bit of both...There are important lessons here for scholars in many fields, as Silber shows how women's experiences in wartime both reveal and affect social, cultural, and political events.

I would like to have a Rogue Trader who is a hero, even if not for the most moral of reasons. Perhaps he enjoys the thrill of living dangerously, or the fame and fortune that comes from his "heroic" deeds. Either way, whether a true hero or a self-promoting egotistical moron, this Rogue Trader is planning a daring rescue.
There is a person, or persons, of importance on a planet currently under attack by Tyranids. Bioships are preventing transports from leaving and, without aid from an Imperial Navy who are busy with "more important engagements", they're as doomed as the world around them. To top it off, the transports are filled to bursting with the "ordinary" citizens of the planet. "Rebels" have taken the planetary nobility hostage in their own palace to allow friends and family to escape certain doom.
So the Rogue Trader arrives to blast an opening through the Hive Ships so that the Transports can make an attempt at escape. But his main goal is the rescue of the nobility who, with their wealth and influence, can richly reward him. Rumour has it the governor's daughter is quite the catch too.
Now you know the WHY it is time to find out HOW. I've looked through the house rules but saw nothing about Tyranids. I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas about representing the Bioships in games of Rogue Trader.
Or if someone has already house ruled Tyranids please provide a link.

Keep up with our video series where we break down how to nail every single thing in our What to Wear Now guide. Today, Jim Moore makes a strong case for the double-breasted suit.
"One of my favorite things is to de-mystify these old, traditional types of clothing," says Jim. The double-breasted suit has been around forever, but the modern versions are cut slim and accentuate you in all the right places. "Once you're buttoned-up it makes you look slimmer and trimmer—it's like your suit of armor in a way," adds Jim. It's the kind of garment that demands the right kind of attention. "It's always gonna get you noticed at the office. It's definitely gonna be the 'head-turner suit.'" Wanna pull if off? Listen closely to Jim's advice while you watch the video.

Getting to Apamea
Apamea is located an hour north-west of the city of Hama, and about 2 hours south-west of Aleppo. It is best reached by private car, so whether one is staying in Aleppo or Hama, one must ask the hotel to arrange for a car and a driver. From either direction, the road is filled with other historic sights and ruins, so one could fill an entire day with a variety of things to see.
- Road Trip
Apamea can be reached by microbus. I took a bus from Aleppo to Hama, which cost S£85 (There are also frequent buses from Damascus to Hama). Then I took a taxi to Hama's microbus station, which is on Sharia Salah-uh-din, about a 15-minute walk to the south-west of the city. From there I took a microbus to As Qeilibiya, which cost S£45 and took about 40 minutes. There you will find another microbus waiting to take you to Qa'alat al-Mudiq. This only costs S£10 and takes just 10 minutes. You can get dropped off on the main road, near the museum turn-off, which is to your right as you enter the town. Ask for al-mathaf (the museum). After you have visited the museum, turn right out and you have about a 15-minute walk uphill to the ruins. You will see the citadel up on the hill to your left, and the first site you will reach on your right is the theatre. From the theatre it is about another 5 minute-walk to the main ruins of Apamea.

2nd and Seven –
The Tackling Machine – At 5'10" and just over 200 pounds,
linebacker Matt Castelo is smaller than former safety star Josh
Powell, who unfortunately exhausted his eligibility last
season. But, make no mistake, Castelo is a guy who won't
disappoint with his ability to go sideline to sideline. He
registered 91 tackles, which was second on the team behind
Ezekiel Staples, and should go for triple digits this season.
The Desert Swarm defense needs a smart and active linebacker to
control and dictate what needs to be done on defense, and
Castelo provides those traits. The bad news is that only one
other starter returns from last year's unit, but the good news
is that, overall, the coaches feel the talent that fills those
other nine positions is at potentially a higher level than what
took the field in 2005. Considering the Spartans gave up 10
points less per game, that's really good news. Regardless,
Castelo is the man who'll make it all go (his defense) and stop
(opposing defenses).
3rd and Three –
The JUCO Star – Although the Spartan defense doesn't return
many starters from last year (well, if you think two implies
'many'), the Spartans do return their QB. But, he may not even
start in 2006. Last year's signal caller Adam Tafralis was in
and out of the lineup and threw for just over 1,800 yards. He
has dual threat potential, but his 49.7 completion percentage
just isn't good at all. Enter Sean Flynn, 6'3", 215 uber JUCO
stud, who has designs on starting from day one. After
transferring from LA Harbor College, Flynn arrived in time for
spring practice to push for the starting spot and could very
well unseat Tafralis as soon as fall camp rolls around. He's
physically capable of running and throwing the Spartans up and
down the field against WAC defenses; it's just a matter of
stealing away that position from Tafralis.
4th and One –
The Turnaround – When Dick Tomey was handed the San Jose
State program in early 2005, it was hard to gauge what more
Tomey could do with the program that Fitz Hill hadn't done
before him. But, Tomey had built Arizona's program throughout
the Desert Swarm days, fit in nicely at the University of Texas
and was ready for the challenge that was San Jose State
football. Well, after a 3 – 8 season, many would wonder what
Tomey really did for this team, but look closer at what they
accomplished. They lost three WAC games by seven points each –
turn those into the win column and the Spartans would've had a
winning season. Sure, that's a massive "if", but 3 and 8 doesn't
truly depict how far they came last season. They gave up ten
points fewer per game and also found a deadly, powerful running
game that could run on anyone, anywhere. The physicality on
both sides of the ball showed that SJSU wouldn't be just another
"off-week" in the WAC. They might be the epitome of "dark
horse", but if the youngster/inexperience on defense can jell
and Flynn is everything that the Spartan staff expects, Boise
State and Fresno State might have a blue and gold fly in their
championship ointment.

← Correspondence regarding the Templeton Foundation
Jump to comment 26 by Gary Rosen
A.C. Grayling and Daniel Dennett have refused to talk to a serious journalist (Edwin Cartlidge of Physics World) about a serious subject (philosophical materialism) because the journalism fellowship under which he is pursuing this subject is sponsored by the Templeton Foundation. They will have nothing to do with the Templeton Foundation, they say, because our aim is somehow to "muddy the waters" about the relationship between science and religion.
That's not how we see it at all. First-rate, peer-reviewed science is essential to our work at the Foundation and to the progressive vision of the late Sir John Templeton, who was deeply committed to scientific discovery. Many of our largest grants go to pure scientific research (like our support for the Foundational Questions Institute in Physics and Cosmology, the Godel Centenary Research Prize Fellowships, and the Program for Evolutionary Dynamics at Harvard).
But, yes, we do like to include philosophers and theologians in many of our projects. Excellent science is crucial to what we do, but it is not all that we do. We are a "Big Questions" foundation, not a science foundation, and we believe that the world's philosophical and religious traditions have much to contribute to understanding human experience and our place in the universe. For Grayling and Dennett to compare this rich, expansive discussion to a dialogue with astrologers is silly. They know better.

Senate writing final chapter to health care bill
WASHINGTON President Barack Obama has signed into law the most sweeping overhaul of U.S. health care since Medicare, but one last chapter in the epic struggle is still playing out in the Senate.
Senators are debating a package of fixes to the new health law, demanded by House Democrats as their price for passing the mammoth overhaul legislation that will extend coverage to 32 million uninsured Americans over the next decade. Obama signed the bill on Tuesday, declaring "a new season in America" as he sealed a victory denied to a line of presidents stretching back more than half a century.
The fix-it bill under consideration in the Senate eliminates a special Medicaid deal for Nebraska from the new law, softens a tax on insurance plans that was repugnant to organized labor, sweetens the pot with more expansive subsidies for lower-income people and offers more generous prescription drug coverage to seniors, among other changes.
Its approval at the end of this week is virtually assured, since it's being debated under fast-track budget rules that allow passage with a simple majority instead of the 60 votes usually required for action in the 100-seat Senate. Democrats control 59 Senate seats.
That didn't stop Republicans, who are unanimously opposed, from using the floor debate that began Tuesday afternoon as an opportunity to repeat the accusations they've lobbed at Obama's health legislation for the past year: that it raises taxes, slashes Medicare and includes a burdensome and constitutionally questionable requirement for nearly all Americans to carry health insurance.
The GOP came up with some new arguments too, including an amendment offered by Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., that would prohibit sex offenders from getting Viagra prescriptions under federal health programs.
Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., dismissed that as a "gotcha amendment" designed to be difficult for Democrats to oppose.
The main suspense surrounding this week's debate is whether the fix-it bill can emerge from the Senate unchanged. If it does, it can go straight to the president for his signature, since it's already passed the House. If the Senate changes it even in a minor way, the legislation would have to go back to the House to be passed again, a prospect House leaders are prepared for but say they don't expect.
If there are only minor changes the House would be almost certain to pass the bill again with little trouble, but if Republicans succeed in knocking out a significant provision or attaching a substantive amendment there could be difficulties in the House, where the legislation passed very narrowly Sunday night. Democratic leaders in the House and Senate say they have scrubbed the fix-it bill thoroughly to ensure that will not happen.
Republicans are introducing an array of politically sticky amendments such as Coburn's and another that would stipulate that Obama himself must get health coverage through a new purchasing exchange to be established under the health law. The GOP also is planning to raise points of order under rules requiring that provisions of the fix-it bill must have a budgetary impact. If Republicans argue that something doesn't and the Senate parliamentarian rules in their favor, the provision in question probably would be knocked out.

Tired of begging autorickshaw drivers to take you to your destination? Your day ruined because he overcharged you? Worried that the second-hand car you're buying may have a 'history'? Relax, the solution now lies at your fingertip. Literally. The city police have turned to mobile governance to address a host of such issues by which you can seek to address grievances and bugbears simply by sending an SMS.
The project is a Bangalore Traffic Police initiative to empower citizens who can find out if there's parking space at select malls, or the status of their traffic rules violations or even ownership details of second-hand vehicles.
If you're looking for parking space at Garuda Mall, Lido Mall, Royal Meenakshi Mall or Apollo Hospital, all you do is send an SMS. This works only in places that have computerised parking facilities and are wired to the police's Traffic Management Centre (TMC).
In the near future, the TMC will be connected to parking lots in Traffic Transit Management Centres run by Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation, a press note said here Friday.
Hotline number
The public can also contact the traffic police on its 24-hour hotline numbers 25588444 and 25588555 for traffic-related queries, suggestions and complaints.
False complaints
Meanwhile, the police have warned against misuse of the mobile governance service. "People should not misuse the service by sending false complaints. As they must use their handheld mobile phones, mischief mongers will be traced," a senior officer said.

Picture: Ozzy Osbourne - Rocker Ozzy Osbourne and self confessed cheese lover, stops by The Cheese Shop in Beverly Hills - Beverly Hills, CA, United States...
Ozzy Osbourne has revealed the real reason why Bill Ward was excluded from the Black Sabbath reunion - the rockers have lost faith in his drumming skills.
The Paranoid hitmakers reformed last year (12) and in May (12), they played their first gig since 2005, with stand-in sticksman Tommy Clufetos.
Ward has previously cited contract issues for his decision to shun the reunion, but frontman Osbourne has now alleged the musicians were left aghast when they rehearsed with Ward because his playing was so rusty he relied on bullet-point notes stuck all over his kit.
Osbourne tells Mojo magazine, "I guess it's to do with finances or something... But there was also another side to it. When Bill came along we all had to ask, 'Can he do an hour-and-a-half, two-hour gig? Can he cope?' My suggestion was that we run through a set and see how he got on because he was so out of condition and the drummer is the most demanding job in the whole band.
"We looked at Bill and he couldn't remember what the f**k we were doing. But he didn't come clean and say, 'I can't cut this gig but can we work something out, guys, where I'll come on but with another drummer backing me up?' Or, 'I'll come and play a few songs', that would have been cool.
"I get where he's coming from, though. His pride was hurt and I get it. I really do get it. The guy will always be a dear, dear friend and a brother to me, but you either s**t or get off the pot... He can't be surprised that he didn't get the gig. He can't be! F**king hell!
"You know them yellow f**king stick-on memo notes? He had them all over his f**king drums. I was like, 'What the f**k's that for, Bill?' He said, 'I can't remember what I'm doing.' I go, 'How are you gonna remember out of those 500,000 bits of paper stuck all over your kit, which one you're looking at, Bill?' (He said) 'I'll know.' Ah, Ok great. I'm not gonna give Bill a hatchet job, but at the same time we haven't got the patience to deal with it."

Marshall vents, Cutler brushes it off
LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP)
Suddenly, Jay Cutler has too much offensive help?
A day after star receiver Brandon Marshall vented after a lack of catches, the Chicago Bears' quarterback brushed off the comments and said his teammate is frustrated because he wants to succeed.
''He's human,'' Cutler said. ''He wants to be personally successful but he knows for us to get where we want to go, everyone has to contribute.
''There's games where he doesn't get 10 balls, 12 balls. He might have five and a touchdown and if we win, he's going to be happy. If we don't, everyone's going to work to see what we can do to fix it.''
The Bears are coming off their second straight loss following a 3-0 start after falling to New Orleans on Sunday. With the Saints double-teaming Marshall, he was targeted just five times and finished with 30 yards and a touchdown on four catches.
Alshon Jeffery stepped up in a big way, though. He set a franchise record with 218 yards on a career-high 10 catches, just what the Bears need if other teams are going to focus on Marshall.
Cutler also had a big game, throwing for 358 yards and two touchdowns, but the Bears came up short again after falling at Detroit the previous week.
Back-to-back losses have taken some of the shine off a 3-0 start, and a loss to the winless New York Giants on Thursday night will really ratchet up the nerves around Chicago.
Marshall already was a bit on edge after Sunday's game, saying he was frustrated with the loss in general and his inability to get open. He said the Bears need to adjust, but he also insisted his feelings had more to do with the result than with his statistics.
''The frustration comes when we're not winning and the offense isn't moving the ball,'' he said. ''It has nothing to do with me. It's about I want to win. I've always said, I have a nice contract, been to Pro Bowls, made All-Pro. I want to win.
''Sometimes the formula may go to me, sometimes it doesn't. Whatever's best for the team to win, that's what we need to do. I'm always going to be frustrated when our offense isn't No. 1 in the league. I'm always going to be frustrated when we're losing. I'm frustrated. We just lost. We lost two in a row.''
A day later, coach Marc Trestman came to his defense. He insisted Marshall isn't a distraction and was quick to point out his role in Jeffery's improvement and tight end Martellus Bennett's arrival.
Marshall worked with Jeffery in Florida in the offseason and helped recruit Bennett to Chicago, giving Cutler more options.
If anyone should be thrilled with Jeffery having a breakout game, it's Marshall. It might lead to fewer catches, but it would also mean less wear and tear for a receiver who carried the load last year, but also underwent arthroscopic hip surgery in January.
Marshall had the procedure after setting franchise records for catches (118) and yards receiving (1,508), far more than anyone else on the roster.
No other Bears player had more than 44 receptions, and among wide receivers, Earl Bennett was second with 29.
Marshall also acknowledged last month that he might have rushed back from the procedure, all the more reason why the Bears needed another reliable receiver, someone to step into that No. 2 spot. More to the point, they needed Jeffery to be that guy.
He showed some promise as a rookie last year, but was also limited by hand and knee injuries.
If he continues to make opponents pay for doubling Marshall, then they'll have a choice to make - ease up on the Pro Bowl receiver or risk having Jeffery make big plays.
The big game against New Orleans came on the heels of a 107-yard performance against Detroit. Jeffery has 15 catches over the past two games, compared to 13 for 104 yards in the first three.
Marshall has gone from 15 catches for 217 yards over the first two games to 16 receptions for 161 yards over the past three. Trestman said the plan is always to get Marshall involved early. It just didn't happen against the Saints.
Instead, Jeffery stepped up. Marshall vented a bit, and the Bears brushed it off.
''(Marshall) has been great,'' Trestman said. ''As far as meetings, on the field he has not been any kind of distraction from my standpoint. The biggest difficulty I've had is seeing him work through a foot and work through the hip during the OTAs.''

In my previous article I started discussing my dividend growth plan in more detail, by focusing on my strategy. Today I will be focusing on my stock selection criteria.
The type of investments I am focusing on involve dividend paying companies, which have a history of uninterrupted dividend growth. There are several publicly available lists out there including the dividend aristocrats, high-yield dividend aristocrats, dividend champions and the dividend achievers. The first three lists consist of stocks which have increased their dividend payments to shareholders for more than twenty-five consecutive years. The broad dividend achievers list focuses on companies which have increased their payments for at least ten consecutive years. The companies that have been able to do that are believed to have a solid business model and smart management. In addition to that these companies have a proven track record which shows that their business model is able to consistently support an increase in dividend payments to shareholders. This also shows that management is committed to enriching the shareholders and not enriching themselves. In a period of time where total CEO compensation runs in the millions of dollars regardless of company performance, it pays to know that the executive team is committed to sharing the company's wealth with its owners - the investors.
The above mentioned lists are only a starting point for the dedicated dividend investor. I do not want to blindly purchase all stocks without understanding their business and without checking several financial characteristics of the companies. In my analysis of dividend stocks I check several parameters:
EPS- The earnings per share indicator is calculated by dividing the total amount of net income for one year to the total number of shares outstanding. I am normally looking for an increase in EPS over the past ten years. A company that cannot increase its EPS over time, will not be able to sustain the growth in its dividend payments to shareholders.
ROE – The Return on Equity is calculated by dividing the total amount of net income for a given year over the amount of owner's equity on the balance sheet at the end of the previous period. I do not look for specific numbers in this indicator, but focus exclusively on its trend. Most stocks will have a flat ROE over time, which is fine with me. A red flag for me is a decreasing ROE over time.
DPR- I calculate the dividend payout ratio by dividing the DPS over the EPS. I am generally looking for a DPR that is below 50% in most companies. However, if a corporation has been able to maintain a higher DPR over time due to the nature of its business or the nature of its legal structure, I would consider buying a stock with a much higher DPR. A rising DPR is generally a red flag for me. This shows me that there is not much room for future dividend growth. In addition, stocks which have a highly unusual for them DPR indicate a higher risk for dividend cuts.
DPS – I generally look for an uninterrupted growth in dividends every year for more than ten years, preferably twenty-five. A company which hasn't been able to at least pay a stable dividend without cutting it in difficult times is automatically off of my radar. General Motors is one stock which I won't touch, since it has exhibited a lot of fluctuations in its dividend payments over the years.
Valuation- After checking the trends of earnings, roe, dpr and dps I assume that these would continue to be doing ok or not ok for the foreseeable future. I then look for stocks with a price earnings ratio of less than 20, dividend yield which equals at least the yield on the S&P 500 and a dividend payment ratio which does not exceed 50%. After buying a stock, I would "forget" about it and let the dividends reinvest automatically into more shares. Even if a company becomes overvalued in terms of super high P/E ratio, I won't consider selling. I would consider holding forever in most situations.
For a sample dividend analysis of a stock, check out Analisys of Johnson & Johnson (JNJ).
Next Week I will be discussing the diversification part of my dividend growth plan.

Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my post. I definitely think that its best to find a method for screening stocks that does not contradict with your beliefs and your temperaments.

why the hell not have Fitch fight Karo on the main card? I will admit that I am not a big fn Karo or Fitch but they should fight eachother to move up the ranks not beat ppl who are out of their league.
UFC 94 "Penn vs. St-Pierre 2″ is now official and set to go off on January 31 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, NV.
Headlining the main card will be the second meeting between current UFC lightweight champion BJ Penn and UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre for the UFC welterweight belt.
UFC 87 headliner Jon Fitch will surprisingly head up the undercard against Akihiro Gono. Earlier this month Jon Fitch was released by the UFC after refusing to sign away his lifetime video game rights, but was later ultimately rehired after coming to terms with the company. Whether this disloyalty resulted in his banishment to the undercard or the main card was just to stacked, only time will tell.
Georges St. Pierre vs. BJ Penn [T]
Lyoto Machida vs. Thiago Silva
Karo Parisyan vs. Dong Hyun Kim
Nate Diaz vs. Clay Guida
Stephan Bonnar and Jon Jones
Jon Fitch vs. Akihiro Gono
Manny Gamburyan vs. Thiago Tavares
Chris Wilson vs. John Howard
Jake O'Brien vs. Christian Wellisch
Matt Arroyo vs Dan Cramer
why the hell not have Fitch fight Karo on the main card? I will admit that I am not a big fn Karo or Fitch but they should fight eachother to move up the ranks not beat ppl who are out of their league.
Good Call, fitch would prob beat karo but i wouldn't totally count him out… and why th hell is jones / bonner on main card insted of fitch? i think joe silva needs to take a look at this card a little more carfully
we know what this is really about, fitch is still the #2 ww karo is not ranked that high niether is nate or bonner in there weight classes.
We know this is punishment for Fitch for the drama caused…there putting him on the undercard for that reason stupid Dana…not a big Fitch fan but this better be the only time this happens he deserves to be on main card fights.
Has anyone heard an update on Koscheck? Isnt he still refusing to sign away his video game rights.
Didn't Fitch just fight for a title? And now, 1 fight later he is on the undercard? Oh, that's right…Karo is a headliner. Who exactly is Karo sleeping with to continue to fight in the UFC? He and Tito should combine forces and try their skill at pro bowling. I do like that idea of Fitch and Karo fighting. Fitch can beat him like Karo stole his bike. Then Karo can tell Rogan how 2 day prior to the fight Karo lost his leg in a chemical spill but went ahead and fought anyway…or whatever lame excuse Karo has for not winning. Then Manny can emmerge from Karo's butt and cheer for Karo's heart and skill! Does everyone know that Manny is Karo's cousin? Oh, yeah, they do because Manny says it every chance he gets. Karo sucks and Fitch is getting the shaft. Sorry for the rant! Merry Christmas all
wtf give john a real fight…
nick vs clay i see nick with the su then move on to a top 5 guy
Karo is a badass..He will be in the UFC forever and be a champ one day..he has been in the ufc since like ufc 28 or somthing long time and he is a badass.. He also was going to fight for the tittle when he was younger but he hurt his back and had to pull out then when he copme back he had to clim the latter and make 3 good wins thn a lose to nightmare put him back..so i think its time they stop giving karo the shaf bu still John got fucked…they should be fighting each other as the co main event
I agree, Tom, that Karo is a badass but do you really think he is at the same speed as the latest generation of fighters? I will give him credit in so much as he goes out and fights for the sake of fighting but he is no GSP, BJ, Silva, or Fedor… He's not even a Coutour, Liddell, or Franklin! He didn't make it when he was in his prime and I don't see him making champ now. I might be wrong and I will be the first to take my "I told you so" if he ever does win a title. Karo in my opinion has been solid by UFC standards but not great. Tom, thanks for being a gentleman with your disagreement of my opinion…It's cool that we don't have to swear at one another to make a point! Oh, and I still don't like Karo…on Manny.
yeah i agree karo is a solid fighter but he will never be champ, maybe he should drop to 155 cause the 170 guys are getting big and he is a little soft.
….sniff!….man I miss all this LOVE! :-p…Still checkin in once in a while…love the takes, busy as hell with the tribe…family…school and all…agree that Karo is not in the same conversation as Fitch….but HEY!!! Really? In the same sentence with Frito?!…Not Quite there yet…I still dig watching karo work his judo in and win or lose…there is always the chance he CAN win…unlike Mr. Jenna Jameson…who's only tie to fighting guys his age is commenting on them from outside the cage while attempting to hold up any poor shmuck who would be dumb enough to pay him to fight some schlep up and comer….at least his wife could still resume her carreer anytime SHE wanted….someone's gotta get L…paid……………………(still trade his checks for mine,though)
Wow Dana, Way to show your true colors.
What a jerk
damn thats crazy. he's got bonner and parisyan making the main card and fitch is an undercard? i'm sure it will get shown but yeah it seems like either fitch asked to be on the card after it was finalized or dana is trying to impose his power trip.
or its just a clerical error and he will end up on the main card. OH Karo is 26 Id say that he is just about to reach his prime.

Multiple Sclerosis Health Center
Recognize Multiple Sclerosis Symptoms
In this article
People with multiple sclerosis (MS) tend to have their first symptoms between the ages of 20 and 40. Usually the symptoms get better, but then come back. Some may come and go, while others linger.
Keep track of your symptoms to help your doctor know whether MS or another condition is to blame.
Recommended Related to Multiple Sclerosis
Managing your life with MS isn't just about dealing with the symptoms you have right now. It's about thinking through what could happen in future -- the possible effects on your job, family, and finances -- and preparing for them. Even if your symptoms are mild, planning can make you feel better and be more confident in your future. "It's not bad luck to think about what you might do if your symptoms got worse," says Rosalind Kalb, PhD, a clinical psychologist and vice president of clinical care...
Read the 8 Ways to Live Better With MS article > >
Whether you have a diagnosis or are worried about symptoms, know that MS doesn't have to control your life. You can work with your doctor to treat and manage your symptoms so you can stay healthy and continue to live the life you want.
Early Symptoms of MS
- Blurred or double vision
- Thinking problems
- Clumsiness or a lack of coordination
- Loss of balance
- Numbness
- Tingling
- Weakness in an arm or leg
No two people have exactly the same symptoms of MS.
You may have a single symptom, and then go months or years without any others. A problem can also happen just one time, go away, and never return. For some people, the symptoms become worse within weeks or months.
Common Symptoms of MS
These are the most common changes to the mind and body in someone with MS:
Unusual sensations: People with MS often say they feel a "pins and needles" sensation. They may also have numbness, itching, burning, stabbing, or tearing pains. About half of people with MS have these uncomfortable symptoms. Fortunately, they can be managed or treated.
Bladder problems: About 8 in 10 people have bladder problems, which can be treated. You may need to pee often, urgently, need to go at night, or have trouble emptying your bladder fully. Bowel problems, especially constipation, are also common.
Trouble walking: MS can cause muscle weakness or spasms, which make it harder to walk. Balance problems, numb feet, and fatigue can also make walking hard.
Dizziness: It's common to feel dizzy or lightheaded. You usually won't have vertigo, or the feeling that the room is spinning.
Fatigue: About 8 in 10 people feel very tired. It often comes on in the afternoon and causes weak muscles, slowed thinking, or sleepiness. It's usually not related to the amount of work you do. Some people with MS say they can feel tired even after a good night's sleep.

I really don't think he'd help the Rangers D at all...we'd just get to watch him get beat over and over again and on top of that he'd probably take penalties for playing aggressively.
Stempniak isn't an upgrade over Dubinsky offensively, in my opinion. After a good first two years in St. Louis, he's struggled to recapture that touch. I'm not a fan of making a trade for a player that you hope will "find their game again" after you trade for them.
Right now, this team lacks players who can make plays with the puck. Dubinsky can do that at least part of the time...it makes much more sense to me to keep him and keep working with him and try to get more out of him. He and like 2 other players on the entire team can actually control the puck in the offensive zone
edit: To be honest about the "physical defenseman" thing...in the NHL today, those defensemen also need to be good at something else. They need to be able to skate decently and be a shutdown defenseman as well, or contribute some offensively, or something. Because you'll take a lot of penalties being a physical defenseman these days and it's not worth all the penalty killing if crosschecking a guy in front of the net is the only thing a player can do.
That statement basically holds true though for every single position in the game today. And yes, maybe there is some limitations on how they can still be effective as a physical defender. But...to me there is definately still a place in the game for these guys. Even in todays NHL. No matter how you slice it up...The Rangers are, and have been soft on the defense for quite sometime. And during the regular season they may be able to get by, but come playoff time these types are worth thier weight in gold. The Bieska's, the Phaneuf's, the Regehr's, Hannans, Komisarek's, Prongers, Chara's, Murray's, Beauchemins, Volchenkov's etc. This club doesn't have that element. They fail to keep addressing it, while admitting they could use this type of a player.
On Exelby...He may have played himself out of the lineup in Toronto. And maybe that is due to him losing a step. I am not sure as I haven't seen him play there yet. But, when he was on Atl, I can remember him driving the Rangers into a frenzy by clobbering Prucha. Or his wars with Hollweg. The guy made some noise, and was effective every time we played them...So, even if he wasn't the best staker...or didn't have the best outlet. He was very much so in those games by using his best attributes, which was flat out physical play.

Dr. Holly Woltz recent column in the Aiken Standard PET TALK: Adopt, Adopt, Adopt from April 1 which stressed the importance of spaying and neutering as well as adopting pets, really hit home with me.
The Aiken County Animal Shelter just moved into its fantastic new headquarters and is packed with wonderful dogs and cats looking for new homes. Yet, largely because many people in the past did not get their pets fixed, there are simply too many of these wonderful creatures for the shelter to house.
Even with the larger building and its expanded, state-of-the-art facilities, the shelter cannot accommodate the huge influx of lost and orphaned animals in Aiken County that desperately need forever homes. As Woltz said, adopt, adopt, adopt. If all of us living in Aiken County adopted an animal at our communitys Aiken County Animal Shelter, we could save the lives of thousands of amazing pets.
The only way these overwhelming numbers can be reduced is for people to get their pets neutered and spayed and for more residents to provide homes for the wonderful canines and felines that need love and care.
As a part-time volunteer, I see firsthand how the staff and volunteers at the shelter tirelessly take on their mission to save more animals. They are continuously reaching out to our local residents to adopt and are contacting rescues in other states to take in the shelters overflow of orphaned pets.
But even with the best efforts of the shelters professionals and volunteers, the amount of orphaned and unwanted animals is still too great. As Woltz pointed out in her column, the end result of an unchecked dog and cat population is that a higher percentage of orphaned pets must be euthanized.
So, please adopt a pet from the shelter and, if you already have animals, get them spayed or neutered as soon as possible. The shelter offers a limited amount of vouchers for folks who cant afford to get their pets sterilized, as does the City and the SPCA.
Friends of the Animal Shelter or FOTAS is helping those in need of assistance with their pets and has funded hundreds of dog and cat spay/neuter surgeries.
Also, FOTASs Woofstock is coming up May 3 at the shelter. This year it will include a spay and neuter fundraiser called Ride to Woofstock. Check for more details at www.fotasaiken.org, and donate if you can.

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
Blocks from the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium and the business district, but far from major attractions
The NH La Habana is located in a residential area very close to the business district of Plaza de Castilla. There aren't any major attractions nearby aside from the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, where the Real Madrid soccer team plays. Paseo de la Castellana and the area around the stadium are full of restaurants and bars. Avenida de Brasil and Torre Europa are two nightlife areas a short walk from the hotel. Colombia Metro station, served by the 8 line that goes to the airport, is just a few blocks east, and Line 9 (at Colombia too), and Line 10 right by the stadium, are also convenient, but transfers are required to reach most tourist sights.
The NH La Habana is located near the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium and the business district. Everything about this hotel seems to be geared towards the business traveler: clean, comfortable rooms with safes big enough for a laptop, work desks, flat-screen TVs, and stocked minibars. Some rooms have nice balconies and huge bathrooms, while all have hardwood floors and contemporary decor. La Habana Restaurant serves solid Mediterranean fare until late, and there is also a cocktail bar on-site. Leisure travelers might want to look elsewhere, unless they're planning to attend a Real Madrid soccer match.
