Publisher's Description
Money has great power in our lives. Used wisely, it is one key to accomplishing our goals, providing for our needs, and fulfilling our life purpose. In recent years, many of us ignored the wisdom of the past when it came to managing and spending our money. Credit card debt soared, savings rates plummeted, and our home equity became something to be tapped into and spent rather than a source of security in retirement. We felt an insatiable desire for more. And we found ourselves spending tomorrows money today in order to have what we hoped would satisfy. The result of all of this was not greater happiness and satisfaction, but greater stress and anxiety.
Enough is an invitation to rediscover the Bibles wisdom when it comes to prudent financial practices. In these pages are found the keys to experiencing contentment, overcoming fear, and discovering joy through simplicity and generosity. This book could change your life, by changing your relationship with money.
We Americans love our stuff. Were living in a fast-paced, me-first, instant-gratification world, and its finally catching up to us. Debt is out of control, homes are in foreclosure ... even banks are going out of business. What the world needs today is the message of contentment and simplicity, and thats exactly what Pastor Adam Hamilton delivers in Enough.Dave Ramsey, New York Times Best-Selling Author and Nationally Syndicated Radio Talk Show Host
Once again, Adam Hamilton is leading the church; Enough is enough was once a Wesleyan watchword. Adam breathes new life into the Wesleyan commitment to simplicity. Amid a culture of greed and conspicuous consumption Adam calls us to a biblically based, evangelical joy of having the faith to say enough is enough.Bishop Will Willimon
United Methodist Church, Birmingham Area
I pay close attention to whatever Adam Hamilton writes. His books are marked by extraordinary pastoral insight, biblical and theological depth, courage to speak the truth, and down-to-earth practicality. Enough comes like an antidote in the middle of a pandemic. I hope that classes, groups, couples, and individuals will use this bookand the economic crisis it addressesas a challenge to get healthy again by deepening our discipleship in the vital area of money and possessions.Brian McLaren, Author/Networker (brianmclaren.net)

China announces Pacific naval exercises
More News from Agence France-Presse
BEIJING—China has said it will conduct "routine" naval exercises in the Pacific Ocean, in the week after a major diplomatic campaign by US President Barack Obama to assert the United States as a Pacific power.
The defense ministry said the exercises were pre-arranged and did not target any particular country, but the announcement comes against a background of growing tensions over maritime disputes in the Asia-Pacific region.
"China's People's Liberation Army navy will conduct exercises in the western Pacific ocean at the end of November," the ministry said in a brief statement late Wednesday.
"This is a routine drill arranged under an annual plan, does not target any particular country or target, and complies with relevant international laws and international practice."
Obama flew home Saturday after a week-long Pacific odyssey, in which he took in a trio of summits and announced greater military involvement in the region with the deployment of up to 2,500 US Marines to northern Australia.
"Here is what this region must know. As we end today's wars, I have directed my national security team to make our presence and missions in the Asia-Pacific a top priority," Obama announced during a visit to Australia last week.
Washington's new diplomatic campaign to assert itself as a Pacific power has alarmed China, which sees the initiatives, including stationing the Marines in Australia, as intruding into its sphere of influence.
China's Premier Wen Jiabao has warned against interference by "external forces" in territorial disputes in the West Philippine Sea (South China Sea), a strategic and resource-rich area where several regional nations have overlapping claims.
China claims all of the maritime area, as does Taiwan, while four Southeast Asian countries declare ownership of parts of it, with Vietnam and the Philippines accusing Chinese forces of increasing aggression there.
The latest announcement came after China's government news service Xinhua said Asian suspicions would be raised by Obama's plan to base US troops in Australia and by US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's declaration that the 21st century will be "America's Pacific century".
"If the United States sticks to its Cold War mentality and continues to engage with Asian nations in a self-assertive way, it is doomed to incur repulsion in the region," the agency said.
"Many countries wonder what kind of 'leadership' America aspires to assume in the future. The hard fact is that the Pacific Ocean belongs to all countries sharing its shores, not just the United States," Xinhua said.
An initially reluctant Wen was pressed into addressing maritime security at a meeting of Southeast Asian nations on the Indonesian island of Bali last week after other leaders brought up the issue.
China's premier said the Asian giant wanted to reach a code of conduct for the sea.

God Is Not Great : How Religion Poisons Everything (2007)
by Christopher Hitchens
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Well, I am sure that Mr. Hitchens is equally as controversial as Dawkins, so we shall see how quickly this review is swooped upon. (I did one on The God Delusion and had a near immediate rambling assault on Amazon.)
My biggest issue with the book is Hitchens' reading it. I have heard him in debates and found him drolly entertaining. However, in the reading of the book, his voice fluctuates both in volume as well as in clarity. I was often forced to try and fill in the blanks of sentences lowered to a jumbled mumble. I am not sure who was at the control board during the recording, but they should have been whacking him with a pointer each time he started to slump over and talk into his shoulder.
That said, as always, I find Hitchens to be intelligent and insightful. He does cover much of the same ground that Dawkins did in The God Delusion (or vice versa, not sure whose came out first) I am also not sure the reasoning of his commentaries about disagreeing with Dawkins on the subject.
Mumblings aside, I found this book to be excellent in its airing of the histories and realities of some of the largest religions in the world. I learned quite a bit as well. I learned that Joseph Smith, founder of the Mormon church was jailed as a con artist and suspected of necrophilia. I was also surprised that Hitchens didn't take issue with the Church's habit of going through death records and baptizing segments of the deceased population regardless of their religious beliefs in life. He actually found that to be a brilliant answer to the dilemma of correcting past prejudices of not allowing blacks or others into the folds of a church (such as had been the views of the Church of LDS in the earlier days)
I was also surprised to learn that most of these religions "holy books" were delivered to illiterates and transcribed by others. This also included Joseph Smith, Mohammed, etc. I knew that was the case with the Koran. I did't know so with the others. So, I find it hard to believe that the legitimacy of these "holy texts" are so unquestioned given the highly questionability of their origins.
He speaks at time with dry humor an insight. I smiled at his recounting of how he was more than willing to attend the Bar Mitzvah of a friend's son or a Muslim religious ceremony or any of any number of religious ceremonies for friends. However, the same respect and accommodation was never returned to him. These same friends always found it necessary to try and help to save his soul.
I think one of the most shattering chapter in the book was the one on is religion child abuse. Hitchens probably showed more emotion in this section than any other as he explained why indeed, religious indoctrination was child abuse. Especially when it came to the rituals of the genital mutilation of children. (And this was the first time I had learned that original Jewish circumcision involved the Rabbi biting the foreskin and sucking it off the child's penis then spitting it out) Holy crap! He also gave very detailed descriptions of female genital mutilation (most of which I was already familiar with). This chapter alone is enough to deprive on of more than a few good nights sleep.
I do give Hitchen's credit in that he didn't just go after Christianity and its religions. He proved himself quite knowledgeable on a good many religions and drug all of their dirty laundry out into the glaring light of day to be seen for what it was without the candy coating, including the Catholic Church's support of Hitler and the Nazis, the ethnic cleansing in Rhuanda, etc.
Additionally, he backs up all of the genocides, slavery, rape, torture and other horrors with citations from all of the holy books on when god himself commanded or approved of such things, without pausing even for a breath to add in the same comment they hypocrisy of how god can set down laws in one passage only to command his people break them in the next. I have to admit, I have also had a problem with those selfsame hypocrisies. At least most of the pagan gods painted themselves in their true colors.
Hitchens does all of this from the voice of an accomplished journalist, stating the facts as the record shows them, haunting in their stark horror. Above all, he shows that not only do we not need religion to be moral creatures. In truth, we somehow, many of us, manage to be so in spite of it.
In closing, I do have to make a comment about the music I can only assume Hitchens chose for the book. Although very pretty, it just seemed very out in left field to the content of the book. Which made me smile and giggle a few times as it gave pause between the chapters. But, if you are willing to take a stark, unvarnished look at religion, its history and its priesthood, you couldn't find a better read. Okay, Dawkins is up there as well.
March 2015
Very important book written for those of us who have an open mind and are willing to use reason above faith. It took great courage for Hitchens to publish this, and hat's off to him. Glad to have somebody at least attempt to be straightforward and honest about a topic that has long concerned me.
Well writ and well argued, if somewhat... misdirected? "Preaching to the choir" is perhaps an ironic idiom to choose, but nevertheless this is a prevailing feeling on my part.
Hitchens is smart and witty--and he is taking on one of the most controversial issues: Religion.
Hitchen's point is simple: religion is bad, it makes people do bad things. There are people who do good things in the name of religion, but he also asks: What great thing could a person do that he could not do without religion? (Is religion needed to make humans good? Hitchens would say, judging by all of the terrible things that people have done in the name of religion...no.)
This was a fascinating (and pretty quick) read. While reading this book I thought to myself, "I wish I could teach my students to write like this." Every sentence and every word is carefully chosen to support his anti-religious point of view. He writes this book very well.
Whether or not you believe in what he is saying, this is a great book to learn the power of effective arguments!

Observers of the Christopher Hitchens phenomenon have been expecting a book about religion from him around now. But this impressive and enjoyable attack on everything so many people hold dear is not the book we were expecting. . . He has written, with tremendous brio and great wit, but also with an underlying genuine anger, an all-out attack on all aspects of religion.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0446579807, Hardcover)In the tradition of Bertrand Russell's Why I Am Not a Christian and Sam Harris's recent bestseller, The End of Faith, Christopher Hitchens makes the ultimate case
against religion. With a close and erudite reading of the major religious texts, he documents the ways in which religion is a man-made wish, a cause of dangerous sexual repression, and a distortion of our origins in the cosmos. With eloquent clarity, Hitchens frames the argument for a more secular life based on science and
reason, in which hell is replaced by the Hubble Telescope's awesome view of the universe, and Moses and the burning bush give way to the beauty and symmetry
of the double helix.

Blackie Sherrod inspected the three or four manicured acres surrounding A. C. Greene's semi-mansion in a much-advantaged section of Dallas, cocked his head to monitor the sweet calls of summer-morning birds, and sat down at an outdoor table loaded as if to accommodate a threshing crew: platters of eggs, bacon, cantaloupe slices, exotic breads, jams and jellies, coffee, pitchers of fruit juice, and maybe assorted samples of caviar or candied yak's ass. He took in the grandly bent weeping willows, the sun-dappled swimming pool and bathhouse, the tall hedges hiding the green grounds from the gazes of Democrats or other riffraff. Sipping a spiced bloody mary, he said, "Boy hidy, A. C., all this sure is
Sherrod hesitated, as if determined to choose the exact right word—it is, after all, the way he makes his living—and you could see ol' A. C. Greene, a Depression-era Abilene boy who was not born fast friends with money, puffing with the pride of ownership and preparing to respond to some record-breaking gracious compliment.
"… totally," Blackie said, "and completely
Out of this world, he might say. Or beyond belief. Somesuch. A. C. nodded and beamed like a politician being bragged on, patting a well-shod foot as if impatient to deliver his own pretty little acceptance speech.
" … vulgar," Blackie Sherrod finished.
Before the manor's lord could blink good, Sherrod smote him again: "What'd you plant the most of this year, A. C.? What time you commence whupping-up on them slaves?" A. C. Greene, knowing when he'd been out-country-boyed, threw up his hands and laughed a crippled giggle.
Betty Greene thought to ask of Sherrod's wife: 'How's Marilyn?"
"Expensive," Blackie said.
Sherrod is rarely without a swift riposte. When young Tom Johnson (who'd been LBJ's right hand, yes, but hadn't excessive experience newspapering) came aboard as editorial top dog for the Dallas Times Herald, he said to Blackie Sherrod, "How do you get a good job like sports editor?"
"Oh, I guess like you get to be editor-in-chief. You start at the bottom and work up," Blackie shot back at his new boss.
William Forrest (Blackie) Sherrod has been named the Outstanding Sportswriter of Texas ten times in fourteen years and probably would have won them all except for picky laws against monopolies and unfair restraints of trade. The National Headliner Award is his for being found the most consistently outstanding sports columnist in the whole blamed United States. Felix R. McKnight, recently retired vice-chairman of the Times Herald—where Sherrod has captained the sports section since 1958—claims his man has won more awards than any writer in Texas newspaper history.
McKnight assigned Sherrod to cover the Apollo 11 space shot, "as a change-of-pace observer of the fringe drama attending a moonflight." All Blackie did was win the Texas Headliner Club's award for science writing, though I personally know he fails to understand the theory of the wheelbarrow or what makes a screwdriver work or why bees suck flowers. When McKnight dispatched him to the 1960 Democratic National Convention as a sidelight writer, Sherrod's yarns were picked up by the national wire services; bags of fan mail and job offers poured in. In the shocked chaos following the assassination of John F. Kennedy in Dallas, it was Sherrod they plucked from the fun-and-games section and placed in charge as rewrite coordinator on the news desk. Again prizes were won. Sherrod's personal account of the death of young Freddy Steinmark, the Texas Longhorn football player who lost a leg and then his life to cancer, won a Pulitzer nomination. He is the author of three books (one on Darrell Royal, one on Steinmark, and a recently published collection called Scattershooting) and he has more professional admirers than the Happy Hooker.
Perhaps a writer's work may best be judged by how many of his colleagues steal from him. A columnist on the Texas Gulf Coast so persistently thieved from Sherrod's column that Times Herald authorities ultimately complained and the would-be genius was fired. In 1950, when Sherrod was a columnist for the Fort Worth Press and I was the rookie one-man sports department for the Midland Reporter-Telegram, it was my urgent habit to be on hand at the Scharbauer Hotel each day to buy all six copies of the Press left at the local newsstand. Five were pitched into the handiest trash can. This wasteful practice guarded against my bosses and readers learning where I got those many little funnies shamelessly sprinkled throughout a daily column carrying my own by-line. Had the Midland paper observed a policy of granting raises, I'm confident Blackie would have earned me one.
Not that the whole world was fooled. No, for when I moved on to the Odessa American, a resident sports scribe named Ben Peeler wigwagged me into a neutral corner to whisper that our newspaper wasn't big enough for both of us to crib from Blackie Sherrod, and, by gum, he claimed certain inalienable seniority rights. Within the last fortnight I enjoyed a magazine piece by a freelance writer who'd stolen enough lines from a single Sherrod column to retire on. All that doesn't bother Blackie much more than the running colic, "seeing as how I've robbed ole Shakespeare and S. J. Perelman purty good myself."
One flies in the face of many honors and an old personal hero in faulting Sherrod. It might be done, however, on the grounds that he sometimes seems a bit much the "house man" in covering sports. He may be so enamoured of games and the men connected with them that he forfeits certain critical observations. The same thing can happen to political reporters who become more like the cops than the gumshoes they cover. It is an occupational hazard.
One is discomforted, for example, in hearing Blackie Sherrod explain why he never has concentrated on covering labor or economic issues in sports. "That bullshit is so hard for the average man to understand, it leaves him cold. Hell, it leaves me

Exercises for Forearms

What kind of shape are you in?
The reason I ask is that keying on the forearms is not the place to be starting, or greatest emphasis.
Yeah, Murray has big forearms, but if you want prevention of injury so you can practice your strokes do all the Thrower's Ten exercises:
(You'll notice forearm dumbbell curls, reverse curls and pronation/supination exercises are included in this set, and are great for forearm strength.)
Lots of posts here in the Health and Fitness section on the benefits of working with the Theraband Flexbar to build up the forearm and prevent a recurrence of tennis elbow. The rotational component of the exercise (Tyler Twist) takes the forearm muscles through their full range of motion probably better than any other single exercise.
Thera-Band FlexBar Video Demonstration
A great part about the Flexbar (and maybe a hand gripper as well) is you can take breaks from watching tennis or doing paperwork and work on the forearms pretty painlessly.
But if you want to get overall stronger and faster, your forearms are not the area of greatest emphasis - check out the Tennis Training Section of Health Fitness Advisor for an overal program:
You'll notice weight training gets emphasis like in almost all strengthening programs because it incrementally lets you get stronger step by step as you slowly can lift more weight over time.
What did I notice at the Australian Open?
Djokovic, Murray, Fed and Ferrer all made the semis because they are the best movers in tennis.
Djokovic and Murray made the finals because they have the best combination of insane fitness, movement and strength.
Single most important exercise for Murray's improved serve that let him beat Fed and and get off to that great start before running out of gas - the squat. He is powering his serve and groundstokes with his core and legs - not his forearms.
As for Djokovic, he can bend like crazy, but having a strong core and legs are what allows him to keep his balance and power his strokes - not his forearms.

The genesis of Batavia's run to the Class 6A state title game was formed in 2009.
Almost all the seniors on this season's varsity football roster played for Sam Rotolo Middle School's eighth-grade team.
Sam Rotolo defeated Kaneland in an eighth-grade championship tournament game that served as the starting point for the 2014 senior class' quest to win a state football title.
His team trailing by two points, Kaneland's quarterback dropped back and flung a pass toward the end zone on the last play of the game.
"I remember I was playing safety at the time and we had a blitz called, and one of their wide receivers was wide open in the end zone," recalled Batavia senior receiver/cornerback Michael Moffatt, the only two-way starter on the Bulldogs. "I dove at the last second and got a hand on it.
"We knew Kaneland was very good. Their seniors eventually had a great high school career. Beating them felt good. We then started talking about winning state (in high school)."
Those seniors, 15 of whom start, paved the way for Batavia's journey to Saturday's Class 6A state title game against Richards. Both are 12-1. The Bulldogs' lone regular-season defeat in the last three years came to Richards, 31-25 in Week 2 of this season.
Batavia senior quarterback Micah Coffey, who has passed for 2,237 yards and 27 touchdowns this season, called that eighth-grade championship game a turning point.
"That was a great Kaneland team," Coffey said. "Our offense and defense played well. I remember seeing all the high school coaches there. I knew a lot of people knew about us in the area. We were talented. We expected big things in the future.
"We all realized we could be something special in high school. It's cool to fulfill those expectations now. It's like a dream come true."
Batavia coach Dennis Piron was there that day, too.
"That was maybe the best middle school game I've ever seen played," Piron said. "The level of play was a good sophomore game. After that game, a lot of private schools were trying to recruit them. I remember saying, 'If this group of kids comes to Batavia, it will be a special group that could make a run for a few years.' It's a good feeling to see it come true."
Batavia averages 43 points per game, with 2,996 yards rushing and 2,373 yards passing, and allows 14.3 points per. The Bulldogs haven't allowed more than 14 points since Week 3.
Senior middle linebacker Anthony Thielk, who leads the team with 99 tackles, said a state title would be the perfect capper for the senior class.
"That eighth-grade year was the first time all of us were playing together on the same team," Thielk said. "We knew we could be successful in the future. There's still an void and we're not satisfied. We have to go out and get one more."Copyright © 2015, Chicago Tribune

^^Mustard, good rundown there. Good reasons for and against Borg. Every great player has perhaps has a few "chinks in the armor", but that's tennis for you. That '76 US Open final was a close one no doubt. Borg was still a bit "wet behind the ears" though at 20. Great win by Jimmy though, no doubt. It's interesting that Orantes and Vilas won that event in '75 and '77 respectively, and then you have the switch to hard courts for the US Open in '78 when it moved from Forest Hills to Flushing Meadows. Yet, I would also submit that the '80 US Open final was a nail biter, with Borg having a break point in the fifth set, having won sets 3 & 4. A funny moment during that match is this one. Recall that this was just a couple of months after the epic on Centre Court in 1980. I guess McEnroe and Borg have played some soccer too.
Bjorn Borg defied analysis. No one could manufacture a man that won 6 French Open and 5 straight Wimbledon titles. - Andrew Longmore

Water and energy compete for importance
The competing importance of energy supply and clean water resources has been a hot topic at the 16th International River Symposium which was held in Brisbane this week.
Jamie Pittock is project leader at the US Studies Centre on Climate, Water and Energy. He says the challenge facing our communities into the future is the relationship between water and energy use. He would like to see governments think ahead and research how much water emerging industries will use.
The debate about coal seam gas production and how it effects ground water is one issue that has been in the news recently, but it is not the only area where this tension lies. Biofuel crops use a lot of water to produce energy, as do solar thermal power stations.
"Obviously energy, food and water are critical for life and if we maximise the production of one of those we risk over exploiting the others," he says.
"Sadly there are few free lunches in the environment business."
Jamie Pittock believes a national public debate is needed in Australia about the best way forward.
He believes legislation, such as the water trigger amendment under the Environment Protection Biodiversity and Conservation Act, is one way governments can ensure water resources are protected.

that sucks, i hope they at least do the three shows they have been saying, i was looking forward to that fight.
Affliction MMA has postponed it latest show scheduled for Oct. 11 from the Thomas & Mack Arena in Las Vegas, NV.
According to Sherdog, the October show has been postponed until January 17th and is expected to now take place at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif. A formal explanation is expected from Affliction later in the day.
The show was to be headlined by former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski and PRIDE heavyweight veteran Josh Barnett.
Affliction VP Tom Atencio states the UFC has been interfering with the promotions ability to market the event in Las Vegas:
"They've been messing with me every step of the way….There have been issues that I've been dealing with. So I can't say it's them, but there's been things we've been dealing with that have never happened before, so I guess that's why."
MMA Rated is reporting that ticket sales were lacking for the October event.
tickets sells have been quite poor. We've heard that as low as 700 tickets had been been sold for the event. For ring events, the Thomas & Mack Center can hold up up to 19, 522 spectators.
For the full Affliction 2 'Day of Reckoning' card, check out our MMA Rumors section.
that sucks, i hope they at least do the three shows they have been saying, i was looking forward to that fight.
Man, this sucks big time. I sure hope they can get their act together and come out stronger. We all desperately need a stable and roster-rich alternative to UFC.
looks like dana might be right. he said last month that affliction won't make it till january 2009. he also said elitexc would tank, and so far, elitexc is 55 million in the red.
Thank God…i hope they cease and fall…looks like they are on the verge.
I'm starting to get pissed with all of these postponed events and fights. If Affliction wants to get a fan base they need to get good shows put together and make them happen.
when have they postponed events or fights they have only done one show and they are trying to put together great cards.the problem was the tried to put the show on in vegas and the ufc blocked them and caused as much problems for the as they could.
I love watching mma so much that I watch the same old replays of wec on versus. I know that not every decent fighter can fight in the ufc. I really hope that affliction can hang in there, although my wife gets pissed if I buy 2 ppvs a month (ufc and affliction).
why would you want that tim, since affliction the ufc has stepped up the cards and given free events.
I guess I should read the article then. Still sucks they had to postpone. I guess the UFC doesn't want to share.
Thats what you get for throwing Tim Sylvia 800 grand.
they will be ok..there is still a month and PPV AND they are with HDnet also.. andrie shold knock out josh then go ge the belt
I still think they're stupid for using a ring instead of a cage. Why the fuck do MMA organizations use rings? So stupid.
Tim Just curious as to why you want them to fail?
Well lets see i dont care either way but from a business stand point there an insult they come in and offer Sylvia 800K and Fedor 1.3Mil to fight and others total pay out was 6mil i think and they did this just to get them themsleves noticed and they keep saying they will keep paying the fighters this much.. which is fine but they didnt even break even on the first one they lost millions and a company cant afford this even with Trump backing them up. You know how many time a Trump business has failed because he got in over his head to early on, he has been bankrupt several times. I do not see this Affliction growing with what they are putting out for Fight pay hell they couldnt even afford to market the business in Vegas or anywhere else except NY. You cant pay fighter that much from the beginning and excpct the business to grow…if the UFC did this they would surely been gone a long time ago as they over 250 fighters under contract. I am not going to get into it but Affliction and Elite XC are close to being done as they cant offer the fighter depth that the UFC can, they can only afford to have maybe 30 fighter under contract at one time. I dont see them going anywhere but down but if they make some changes they could be okay either way i really dont care but as i said from a business perspective they are failing.
Right. I see your points. But from a fan stand point dont you wanna see more big time shows out there. I mean regardless of what they paid the fighters they did have some big names on that card. I personally hope they succeed and give the UFC a run. This is better for the fans and will also help out some fighters that dont get paid what they should from the UFC. There are a lot of really good fighters that get washed out because they loose a couple in the UFC. I understand that but I would still like to see some of them fight elsewhere. The more circuits the more opportunity for up and comers to get noticed also.
tim the ufc was down millions also it took time to build, so the fact that there first show lost money is not surprizing to anyone, they pretty much knew they would and for there first show they have probally done better than anyone else did doing over 100k buys.
also since the card has been moved to jan FEDOR is back on the card and belfort will be too, the card will be much better now and i heard they might sratch the barnett vs aa and make it fedor vs aa but they have not decied yet, plus there is alot of big news coming some from affliction possibly a deal with HBO or something else big.
ps. tom barnett would beat aa
i know ike i was tell tom that i think barnett would beat aa, and aa did look awsome against rothwell back to his old form and better.
Of course but i stick to one promotion as i am not going to waste my money on anything else unless its free, The UFC built a reputible company that is a house hold name and with all due respect they were in debt once but they built there name on success due to fighters names and word of mouth and putting on very good fights. Anyone can do that but the way they built their Organazation is far different than how Affliction and Elite XC are trying to build theirs..It really doesnt matter cause these fighters are only their for hte money and rightfully so but what happens when they cant afford to pay there fighters the same as they did in the first show…plus only having 1 or 2 shows a year wont cut it when you have the UFC puttting on more than 15 a year sometimes twice a month you cant compete. Business wise they are in hot water and they will not survive if they keep pouring out money like they are to their fighters and not getting any marketing out of it. I guarantee you that Affliction will not have more than 3 or 4 shows next year…Elite XC is just working themselves in a bigger whole and i honestly dont know why they are still in business. MMA nees something similiar to the MLB…different division but also different leagues…Single A, Double A and Triple A and then the MAJORS. Not necessarily just like that but you get the idea.
i do agree with some of that tim as far as different leagues and all but mma is still young and things still need to fall into place untell than i will enjoy any mma i can get at all levels, you would be surprized at the great shows and history you are missing by only watching the ufc, but keep watching and in time you will probally become a fan of mma and not just the ufc. try dream out they are just as good or even better than the ufc so far.and affliction is putting together strong cards right now weather they make it or not don't miss out well there around.
I understand and i am a fan of MMA i just personally wont buy the show if it isnt the UFC or Free or a top notch fight and thats just me. Thats just me though…maybe i will see if i can ask my dad who know sthe mayor of anaheim and see if he can get tickets to the Affliction show in Anaheim. i have used their Box suites before for other things there…Ducks games…clippers games etc…anyways it would be a good change to see a different show for once.
Damn i sound cheap..LOL
if you can get in to that show i bet you wil change your mind, the first show was worth buying to me but if you can watch fedor live do it.i am going to try to go to the next show there to(i will have to pay) i grew up right around there.
Thats Great…i dont know if it will happen but i will definetly ask and see its worth the try. i have seen everything at the Pond oh wait Honda Center…gay ass name…even wrestling….i think the most fun one was Arena Football and the Circus as sad as it sounds. Anways i grew up around the Anaheim Hills/YL area…good to find a fellow OC dude. I wil definetly give it a shot i would like to see him live and see what all the hype is about. Seeing AA again wouldnt hurt either.
i also think Arlovski would beat Barnett. but if they can put aa vs. Fedor in the next affliction show then i'm all for it. i realize that the ufc has to protect their monopoly but for the fans, it is disappointing that affliction had to reschedule. Dana, i like what you've done for mma, but how much do you want it to succeed? does mma matter more to you than the dominance of the ufc?
i don't know if the fight with aa vs barnett does happen i will take all bets, but most likely they will witch it to fedor vs aa and that is fine with me.
It's probably for the best that they postponed the event, but if they were smart they would have postponed it when they knew that Fedor was out.
This is a real disappointment , Affliction knows how to put a decent fight card but should have known better than to take this event to the fertittas back yard. business wise it was a bad move.
i think tim is right about affliction, they gave out way to much money on their first fight card, they were even paying UFC fighters to wear Affliction gear during their matches lol. so i think if they want to stay alive they should market alot cleaner and mange money better until they start to build their empire, but you also have to spend money to make money right? I would like to see affliction stay around like some guys said on this board it would be really good for the MMA world and would give the fans alot more to look forward to. just like we like watching 2 guys fight it out in the ring, we would also like to see 2 MMA companies fight it out for that number 1 ranking spot!
To sit and watch the worlds highest quality fighters is superb, Affliction can gaurantee this for us. I am a massive fan of UFC but sometimes wonder if what i'm watching is for real or fixed…
Ring or cage, either way its all MMA. You will never see Fedor fighting in the UFC as he knows dives are in your contract.
All fans off MMA should support this organisation to the max and watch it grow.. UFC has had its time in my book and its time it moved over.

MOREHEAD - The Morehead State University men's track and field program is the recipient of the 2014 Ohio Valley Conference Team Sportsmanship Award for outdoor track and field.
Voted on by the student-athletes and coaches of the respective sports, the team awards are bestowed upon the conference squads deemed to have best exhibited the standards of sportsmanship and ethical behavior as outlined by the OVC and NCAA. Included in the areas for evaluation are the conduct of student-athletes, coaches, staff and administrators and fans.
"I am proud that our men's team has been recognized by our fellow conference teams," Head Coach Brent Ericksen said. "We take pride in having a well-rounded program. We set quite a few school records and personal records this year, and our team grade point average has continued to improve each year. This award reminds me that we have high-character student-athletes that represent Morehead State in a first-class manner when we compete."
This marks the fourth Sportsmanship Award for the MSU men's team, also claiming the honor in 2006, 2008 and 2010.
"Without sportsmanship there are truly no meaningful victories," OVC Commissioner Beth DeBauche said. "The recipients of the OVC Team Sportsmanship awards should accept this award with great pride for their fellow competitors have made it clear their teams exemplify the best in intercollegiate athletics. In receiving this prestigious honor other competitors are saying these student-athletes compete with class, respect their opponents and value fair play. That is quite a compliment as those are all traits that will lead to true victories throughout the course of life."

Ixius's Sketchbook - Draw to learn! (NSFW)
Hello all,
I'm a 22 year old student who has taken a few art classes, but I want to make it a professional lifestyle. I am attending RIT for Illustration.
I'm a long time lurker who finally garnered up the will to draw each day. I'll post my progress as I continue.
Thank you all for your time and inspiration!

More figure studies...I think I'm getting better (and learning that patience is key)!
And, a short head study. My designs right now are based off of the stuff on characterdesigns...I'm not too keen on coming up with machinery and accessories from my head. I just need to draw more and use more perspective. Ah well, Practice makes perfect!

MyioDeSopsia: thanks! I try to get a pretty good value range...I just can't seem to lay down deep blacks though. That'll come with practice I suppose.
Here's another pic...sorry for the quality. My scanner's not big enough to handle a large sketchbook
June 29th, 2010 #9
Update! New pics are up. The last one is a picture of Solid Snake, I'm trying to make it into a finished piece in photoshop. Again, sorry for the picture quality. I can't really afford a large format scanner right now
July 13th, 2010 #10
after a week long vacation, here's an update. Didn't get much time in for drawing, but when I got back I tried my hand at digital painting...must say, it's pretty hard, but relaxing in a way.
First pic is still a WIP from reference, and there's a lot of messiness...I got a new brush pack and couldn't resist trying all of them out
The other pic is of a cup lid I had on my desk.

Hey all, another update! These are some excerpts from my sketchbook...I bought a smaller one, and I have to say, I'm more comfortable working smaller rather than in a massive 14 by 17!
There are some N.C. Wyeth studies in there...I absolutely love his work, and being a novice in environmental design, I found his artwork approachable to study in terms of tone and atmosphere. I learned a lot from doing it!
Thanks for looking!
September 20th, 2010 #12
Hey all, I've taken a loooong break from this site, but want to get back into the swing of things by posting more. Art school is awesome, but also kicking my butt in a lot of ways.
Taking after Andrew Jones, I'm doing a portrait a day, but not necessarily a self-portrait. Here's my progress so far, crits and comment are very welcome, because I need to know what I'm weak at! Thanks a lot for looking!
By the way, painting in color is a real pain!

Hey all, here's today's portrait. It's another Sargent master study
September 22nd, 2010 #15
Your B/w's are stupendous mate! Would like to see more color though (I'm not good in that, but I guess your work with color would be great). Love your lines, somewhere between rough and smooth; keep it coming!
Don't bother looking at my sketchbook. I haven't updated that thing in years. :/
September 23rd, 2010 #16
MiladThaha: Thanks a lot man! Yeah, I'm still trying to get my head around color...it's pretty difficult. Right now I think I'll focus on black and white's for a bit then really go at it in color
Here's today's portrait, it's a self-portrait. I love doing stuff from life. Master studies are great, but when drawing from life I don't feel limited by someone else's brush strokes
Thanks for looking!
EDIT: The bottom Pic is a recently completed study...I'm a huge fan of Magic Man and I tried to emulate his airbrush approach...mixed results on that one

Hey all, I did a brief master study today (of Kekai Kotaki), just trying to iron out tones. I must say that it came out very well IMO and was most definitely a learning experience!
EDIT: Here's today's self-portrait...it's a bit stylized, but I must say, I like it quite a lot! Done before bedtime, about 40 mins. Maybe tomorrow I'll go back into it and clean things up

Very nice sketchbook. I like your studies, especially those done from N.C. Wyeth. They remind me a lot of Adam Hughes work. If anything I might critique the paintings because you have the same issue I do: finding a good balance between softness and sharpness for the edges of your forms and values. The forms in the paintings look a little too soft and it would be a nice break to have some sharp definition here and there to separate the values and add clarity to things. I hope that made sense
Anywho great work overall. Love it :3
September 25th, 2010 #20
a la bapsi: Thank you for the advice! I'll most definitely try that for photo studies in the future, I love crosshatching and I agree that the texture came out pretty well
MythrilWolf: That made perfect sense! I think I get too excited sometimes with the airbrush and mix everything up...I'll have to work on leaving hard edges here and there
September 25th, 2010 #21
Hey all, here's a pretty big dump of fairly recent stuff from my sketchbook, mostly a CRAP ton of gestures (to be honest, I love 'em, they're so relaxing) and some stuff from imagination and life. Don't mind the writing please, its messy 'cause I write random crap in my book
Also, does anyone here know how to scan drawings properly? The scanned midtone drawings towards the bottom look better in real life, I promise. Something just doesn't look right about my art when I scan it and do auto-levels...
Thanks for looking!

Another late-night-before-bed tonal master study (credit to Kekai Kotaki). Somehow I feel like doing master-studies REALLY help, and I have no idea why. There's something about his painting that just draws me to it. Yet I have no idea how these professional guys can paint in color, it seems like too much to handle! Anyone have tips, hints, or links on properly painting in overlay layers? I'd be very grateful for the help.
And I'm not sure if double-posting is frowned upon here, I see people do it but is it more acceptable to just edit my previous post? Thanks all

Vipin_U: Thanks bro! Much appreciated
Hey all, I'm really excited to show this one. Took me about 6 hours of hard work and thought, but I'm REALLY pleased with this one. I don't really think I've made anything this good before! Conceptart.org has really pushed me these past few months! Special thanks to Magic Man for his freaking awesome pastel/chalk brush.
Thanks for looking!

Hey everyone, here's a quick update of some sketchbook stuff. Sorry they're so messy, but I find my mind wandering too much to stay put on one figure. The last image is my poor attempt at character design...anyone have tips for rendering mechanical parts around the body?
Thanks for looking!

Hey all, here's tonight's photo study, done in about 1 hour. I think I'm gonna render some male torso now because i realized over the past few days I have no idea how to do that! Plus I just need practice anyway at rendering on the comp.
EDIT: And the torso study, I'm not really that happy with it, and hate working in color, but it was a good learning experience.
Thanks for looking!

If I could just talk to someone I worked with there or someone who frequented the pet store during this time, I'm sure they would say that they remember me working there when this happened. I know I was there. I know I sold this freak small animals on more than one occasion. I remember he never spoke much except to say what animal he wanted to buy and would try to avoid eye contact with me.

Grantsville is a town in the northern part of Garrett County, Maryland, United States, near the Pennsylvania border. The population was 766 at the 2010 census.
Grantsville, half a mile west of the Casselman River, began as a small Amish and Mennonite settlement, called Tomlinson's or Little Crossing, along Braddock Road, which wound westward from Cumberland over Negro Mountain. Later a new village flourished as a stop along the nearby National Road, U.S. Route 40. From 1818, the national road carried hundreds of thousands of pioneers and settlers in stagecoaches and covered wagons. In the 1800s, an area just outside Grantsville (once known as Little Crossing but now marked by the intersection of Route 40 and River Road) was a major stop on the old National Pike. There is a "dip" in the road that travelers will not miss when they pass through Little Crossing on Route 40.
Signs mark the location of the post office and the blacksmith shop that stayed open all night to fix broken horseshoes. An 1879 article in Harper's Monthly described the wagons as "so numerous that the leaders of one team had their noses in the trough at the end of the next wagon ahead."
The Casselman Inn sits in the center of town, where it has provided food and lodging to travelers since 1824. A sign outside displays a replica 1842 stagecoach advertisement.
Near the Casselman Bridge, a historic stone arch bridge, are Penn Alps Restaurant and The Spruce Forest Artisan Village, which was founded in 1957 by Alta Schrock. Penn Alps Restaurant is housed in the last log hospitality house on the National Pike. It is situated between a 1797 gristmill and the Casselman Bridge, the longest single span of stone in America when built in 1813.
Spruce Forest Artisan Village, a part of the extended Penn Alps campus, has grown from a few cabins to some 12 log and frame structures of early vintage, two of which date to the Revolutionary War Period. Most of these provide studio space for artisans. Artisans work in various media, including bird carving, stained glass, basket making, hand-loom weaving, and hand-thrown pottery.
Grantsville was once served by Greyhound until 2005. It is now served by a Bayrunner Shuttle that began in January 2011 that originates from Grantsville and serves Frostburg, Cumberland, Allegany College of Maryland Cumberland Campus, Hancock, Hagerstown, Frederick Transit Center, Frederick Airport, BWI, BWI Amtrak Station, and Baltimore Greyhound Station.
Grantsville is located at 39°41′49″N 79°9′21″W / 39.69694°N 79.15583°W (39.6970, -79.1559).[4]

Like the Eagles' other acquisitions, Sproles can also help out on special teams, which is one of Kelly's requirements. Kelly understands that field position matters. Jones is capable of pinning opponents deep in their own territory. Sproles is capable of giving the offense the ball with great field position.
That matters.
The Cowboys, Redskins and Giants are going to have to adjust. They will need to have speed on defense. They will need to be well conditioned because the Eagles will run a quick tempo. And they will have to be able to put up points on the board, because Philadelphia most certainly will do so.
Dallas hasn't become better on defense this offseason; it has become worse. New York still needs receiver help and must replace Justin Tuck. Washington is transitioning to first-year head coach Jay Gruden.
Philadelphia is out in front in the division, which Jenkins noticed early last season.
"It was apparent by Week 4 or 5 that there was something different about this Eagle team and what Chip Kelly brought to the table," Jenkins said, "and it caught the attention of a lot of people.
"So ... my first impression was that [Kelly] knows how to win, he knows what he's going to win with, and they're trying to get players that fit his scheme, not necessarily the best players but players who will buy into what he's selling. I've been a part of winning teams before, and that's where it starts. It starts with good leadership from top down, from the coaches all the way down to the players.
"I see him trying to build that, and that's why I want to be a part of it."
The building continues. This is only Year 2 of the Kelly era. Free agency will wind down and then there is the draft. Kelly will continue to expand the offense, rebuild the defense and focus on special teams.
There are no champions of the offseason, but with shrewd personnel decisions, Philadelphia has shown the gap between it and the rest of the NFC East is only getting wider.

Published: Monday October 20, 2008 MYT 2:32:00 PM
KUALA LUMPUR: Shamsiah Fakeh, the veteran Communist leader who spent nearly 40 years in exile in China, died at 9am on Monday, after a lung infection. She was 84.
She passed away at her home in Jalan Kuchai Lama, according to her son Jamaluddin Ibrahim, 46.
Shamsiah was in poor health following a stroke in 1999 and, in the years prior to her death, she was largely unable to speak or walk, he said.
She is survived by two sons and four grandchildren.
An important figure in the struggle before independence, Shamsiah led the Angkatan Wanita Sedar (AWAS), Malaya's first nationalist women's organisation.
When the Malayan Emergency was declared in 1948, Shamsiah joined the predominantly ethnic-Malay 10th Rejiment of the Malayan Communist Party (MCP).
After 8 years in the jungle, she was sent to China in 1956 before returning to Malaysia in 1994.
The Kuala Pilah native, whose life was documented in the recent book Shamsiah Fakeh: Dari AWAS ke Rejimen Ke-10, was married 5 times and her husbands included nationalist leader Ahmad Boestamam and fellow MCP leader Ibrahim Mohamad.

lexically scoped resource management
Scope::Guear provides a convenient way to perform cleanup or other forms of resource management at the end of a scope. It is particularly useful when dealing with exceptions. The Scope::Guard constructor takes a reference to a subroutine that is guaranteed to be called even if the thread of execution is aborted prematurely. This effectively allows lexically-scoped "promises" to be made that are automatically honoured by perl's garbage collector.

Have you ever heard of that time Bill Murray crashed a party and washed the dishes? That's not his only off-screen antic! See what else the ghostbuster has been up to over the years.
Bill Murray stopped by to perform in Eric Clapton's Crossroads Festival in 2007. Three years later the actor was invited back to introduce the show.

Although we knew him as a golfer from his Caddyshack days, Bill Murray is also a baseball aficionado – he is a co-owner of the Charleston River Dogs, the Single-A affiliate of the New York Yankees. In addition to his ownership role, Murray is also the team's official Director of Fun.
Once a golfer always a golfer! Murray, a 13 handicap, once teamed with pro D.A. Points to shoot a 35-under-par 251 over the four-day AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. While lining up his final putt, Murray quoted his famous "Cinderella story" Caddyshack monologue.
Bill Murray worked as a bartender at Shangri-La during the SXSW festival.
Ok after appearing at so many sporting events, maybe he should have gone pro! According to Chris DiLella, a member of a NYC kickball league, Murray "was bouncing the ball, ran over to second base, played for a bit, gave us all high-fives and let us pose with him in the picture."
He even doles out advice! When he was eating at the same restaurant where a future groom was hosting his bachelor party, Murray stopped by to give a toast and a piece of advice. "Don't just think, 'OK let's make a date. Let's plan this and make a party and get married,'" the actor, twice divorced, tells the room. "Buy a plane ticket for the two of you to travel around world and go to places that are hard to go to and hard to get out of. And if you come back to JFK and you're still in love with that person, get married at the airport."
While hosting his annual Caddyshack Charity Golf Tournament, Murray sang "House of the Rising Sun" with a live karaoke band at the Murray Bros. Caddyshack Restaurant.
While in St. Andrews, Scotland for a celebrity golf tournament, Murray was invited to a student's house party. Instead of partying the night away with the young crowd, he walked into the kitchen and started doing the dishes.
Have you ever heard of that time Bill Murray crashed a party and washed the dishes? That's not his only off-screen antic! See what else the ghostbuster has been up to over the years.
