African design is growing in popularity, especially in the home décor industry, where demand is outstripping supply. The call is not for the masks and statues sold on sidewalks around the world; rather, interior decorators are looking to African designers for naturally sourced, handcrafted objects and fabrics with a rich sense of color, culture and history. And an added benefit is that many Africa-based design initiatives provide much-needed sources of income to impoverished local communities.
Beautiful baskets
African woven baskets are storied design items that have both a practical purpose and interesting background. "The hand of the maker can be seen in the intricately woven patterns," says AJ DeForest, co-owner of Pfeifer Studio. "Our oversized vintage African wedding baskets are everyday styles from Zambia, which were used to collect grain, seeds and vegetables from the fields. They were often filled with cassava roots and set out to dry in the sun. Since each basket took a month or longer to weave, women opted to repair them rather than weaving new ones. Patches made from banana leaf or corn husk are woven into place using the same makenge roots with which the basket was originally created."
African wedding baskets can be used in a variety of ways. "Although baskets always look great when placed on a table, we also love them hung on a wall," says DeForest. "They are appealing when shown in groups, highlighting the unique nature of each one, and can also be hung with other types of objects, such as paintings and textiles, to create pleasing, organic compositions."
Incredible textiles
To bring a more "tribal" feel to a room, choose fabrics and textiles that tell a story. Kente cloth is created by weaving together silk fabric strips. Kente, native to Ghana, is a pan-African symbol and serves as the tribal cloth for many ethnic groups in Togo, the Ivory Coast and Ghana. The fabric is held in high esteem and worn only for special occasions. It is the most recognizable of African textiles.
The colors used in kente cloth carry symbolic meaning. Peacefulness, growth, healing or royalty are just some of the qualities suggested through the colors of a fabric. Patterns are also of importance, whether obvious or intricate.
Kuba cloths, another ornate textile from Africa, are a traditional, geometric-patterned African cloth woven using primitive techniques that have been employed for centuries, according to DeForest. "The cloths get their name from the Kuba tribe of central Congo. The tribe's women begin the process of creating the cloths by beating palm leaves so that the leaf will separate into fibers. The men then use a loom to weave the fibers. The process then goes back to the women, who decorate the cloth. Sometimes they use a 'u' stitch to create a carpet-like texture as well as motifs. Other times they use appliqué methods to create patterns and motifs. Each cloth can take over a month to make," he says.
"In the past the cloth was only made by the most important and wealthy men in the tribe. Their wives were the only women in the tribe who had enough spare time to embroider the cloth. Ordinary women were kept too busy with their work in the fields, cooking and raising their children," says DeForest. "Thus the cloth became a symbol of wealth and status."
Both kente and kuba cloth offer a rich story and history and can be used as tapestry, rug, drape, pillow or even upholstery fabric.
Choosing a color palette
Many African-inspired décor items are brilliantly colored, bold statement pieces. There are several schools of thought about how to highlight them. "Contrast neutrals, deep browns and black with unbleached whites and ochres, tans and browns," says Vicki Lederman, home furnishings design and product development professional. Another way to draw the eye to incredible pieces is to offset them with rich colors. Opulent blue or dusty gray can both accent the intricate details of tribal pieces while lending a calming influence on the room. By contrast, a deep, spicy red can breathe new life into these exotic items, making them fairly dance on walls and surfaces.

I've noticed that there is a lotof personal attacks and name calling happening in the News comments. Just do a search on the page for words like "Stupid". There are also rules against "flame bait", which the Neowin news team are doing themselves by trying to make provocative articles to drive hits.
If sny of this was posted on the forums, it would be cleaned up quicker than it was posted.
I used to read all the comments, but there is no more sensible discussion going on in their, just a lot of flame wars. The intelligence level going on is like that of a 5 year old.
I kid you not, I see more sensible discussions on reddit and porn sites (Yes I read the comments on those too, there are some real gems on there).
I don't know if this is an enforcement problem or technical problem or both.
The forums obviously have a lot more features to be able to click onto someone's name and see their background (eg:Join date, Post count, search all their post history to see if they are a regular troll or just one post is going too far), but news posts can't be searched easily, so there is no accountability for the posts made. There is no report button on iOS/iPad either.

There is an ongoing discussion among the staff in regards to comment quality, but I do have to agree that often the comments section can be hostile, full of flaming and generally unpleasant.
The problem is that if we start enforcing the rules heavily we'll be met with backlash. The usual "the mods will just delete the comment" sort of discussion will start, etc.
Posted 06 January 2013 - 10:49
If you said that what I was saying is stupid, that would not be personal, but if you said that *I* am stupid, then it would be.
I just read your post with the reply calling you stupid. Although I don't think a personal attack was warranted I think your post was full of the sort of flamebait you're complaining about.

That's good to know. I hope it is fruitful and leads to concrete actions like new rules (i.e. "put some thought in your posts - low-content posts are material for a warning") and their subsequent enforcement.
There is an ongoing discussion among the staff in regards to comment quality
Why do you fear your community? Isn't that, in itself, a huge red flag that's something's wrong with this community? If you start putting the bar higher on post quality and that is met with backlash, then I say some pruning was in order anyway and the community will be better off without these elements.
The problem is that if we start enforcing the rules heavily we'll be met with backlash.

MLS Regular Season
Relive all the action from the Dynamo's 1-0 win over the Montreal Impact on Oct. 4 with Dynamo Rewind from Dynamo TV.
The Dynamo are rounding into form at just the right time. Unbeaten in their last four MLS matches and taking 10 of a possible 12 points, Houston's 1-0 victory over the Montreal Impact vaulted them past the Canadian club and into third place in the conference. With a pivotal match set for this Wednesday against Sporting Kansas City (TICKETS) et's take a look around the conference to see how the rest of the playoff race is shaping up.
Chicago went on the road and got the job done against cellar-dwelling D.C. United, thanks in large part to Sean Johnson's nine saves. The Friday night win temporarily pushed the Fire into the fifth spot, but they would later be displaced as the weekend wore on.
Now in sixth with 43 points, Chicago has a roadtrip to FC Dallas this weekend before dates against Toronto FC and New York Red Bulls.
New York Red Bulls 2, New England Revolution 2
New York left this one until literally the last kick of the game, as Tim Cahill scored the game-tying header in the seventh minute of stoppage time, six minutes after Diego Fagundez scored what most thought would be the game winner.
With the draw, New York became the first team to clinch a spot in this year's playoffs and still sit atop the standings with 53 points. The Red Bulls have the weekend off before visiting Houston on Oct. 20 (TICKETS).
New England, meanwhile, were passed up by both Chicago and the Philadelphia Union and sit in 7th place with 42 points. The Revs travel to Montreal this weekend before back-to-back games with the Columbus Crew to finish the season.
Sporting Kansas City 1, Columbus Crew 0
Sporting Kansas City continued their road success in Columbus, all the while dampening the Crew's faint flicker of playoff hope.
After four wins in their previous five games, Columbus was keeping their name on the edge of playoff discussion. But the Crew now face elimination if both Montreal and Philadelphia win this weekend.
Kansas City will come into Houston this Wednesday knowing that a win clinches their passage into the playoffs. A draw coupled with a Chicago draw or loss would also secure that result. Sporting, who have won four of their last five, are four points ahead of the Dynamo in second place with matches against D.C. United and Philadelphia remaining after Wednesday's match.
Philadelphia Union 1, Toronto FC 0
Philadelphia put themselves in playoff position after Kleberson's free kick goal gave them a 1-0 win over Toronto FC. Their 45 points put them two ahead of Chicago and two behind the Dynamo. The Union face D.C. United this Saturday before a tough finish against Montreal and Sporting KC.
Wednesday night's match is a big one for the Dynamo in terms of securing a spot in the playoffs and determining which spot that may be. The Dynamo can clinch if:
- They win against Sporting Kansas City on Wednesday AND
- New England Revolution ties or loses vs. Montreal Impact on Saturday AND
- Chicago Fire lose vs. FC Dallas on Saturday
A win over Kansas City will also put the Dynamo on 50 points, giving them a chance to tie conference leaders New York when the teams meet on Oct. 20.
It's a playoff atmosphere the rest of the way at BBVA Compass Stadium, you don't want to miss it.
The Houston Dynamo and Montreal Impact meet in a massive match for both clubs in the Eastern Conference playoff chase as they clash Friday evening at BBVA Compass Stadium. The Dynamo have righted the ship recently with a three-game unbeaten run, now sitting in fourth place in the East following their 1-1 road draw with New England last weekend. The Impact are just two points ahead of Houston, in third place in the division, now having gone three games without a win following their 2-2 draw at the Chicago Fire last weekend.

Get up-to-the minute stats throughout the match
For the men on the field, it is #Push4Playoffs time. For us at Dynamo Charities, we are also working hard off the field. We still have several upcoming events where we need your help to make this our best year ever.
Our 2013 Ching's Champions were honored earlier this week with a 250 second shopping spree at Kroger's. This year's community heroes are David Murphy, Michael Miller, Angela Wrigglesworth, Kevin Kline and Elsy Espinoza-Sandoval. Congratulations from all of us at Dynamo Charities and thank you so very much for all you do for the Houston community. More information on the champions and the event here.
If we were allowed, we would nominate Brian Ching as a Champion. Brian announced his retirement from on the field activities, but he will still be working with us off the field and in the community. The team will honor him with a testimonial match on December 13. All proceeds from the match will benefit The House that Ching Built, a Habitat for Humanity project led by Brian. I bought my tickets (since my invitation to play must be in the mail still)—get yours and/or donate to the project at HoustonDynamo.com/ChingTestimonial.
We are rolling out a new event next Wednesday at the Sporting Kansas City game. We ask all attending fans to donate a new toy ($10 or under) to fill up Diesel's Toy Chest. Drop off boxes will be located at each entrance to the stadium as well as in Soccer Fest. The collected toys will be taken by B.I.G. Love to Houston hospitals where children can pick a toy out of the chest after their cancer treatment. More information and a special ticket package at Houstondynamo.com/charities/dieselstoychest.
On what we just know will be a lovely fall morning, we will hold the 2013 Go for Goal 5k and Diesel Fun Run. November 2 is the date of the short run around BBVA Compass Stadium. We expect to have lots of fun during and after the event, including Diesel's Kids Zone and a Dynamo Charities Garage Sale—details on that coming soon. To participate, register at Houstondynamo.com/charities/goforgoal.
We want to thank our Tour de Cure sponsors Halliburton, Novo Nordisk, K-Pop Restaurant and Camelot Realty Group, as well as our partner Bicycle World. The weatherman was against us, and the ride was cancelled for safety reasons. However, our awesome rider group was the top corporate fundraiser for the event, collecting over $60,000 in donations to American Diabetes Association. Well done!
Last, but not least, a very big, huge thank you to Halliburton for the donation from their 2013 Charity Golf Tournament. We promise to spend it wisely to continue our efforts to Build a Better Houston!

Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - Remember when everybody was nervous about the calendar turning to 2000?
That feeling describes defensive coordinators in the Missouri Valley Football Conference.
South Dakota State senior running back Zach Zenner has set his sights on surpassing 2,000 rushing yards for the third straight season, which has never been done before on the FCS level. He enters the 2014 campaign as one of the favorites to win the 28th Walter Payton Award, and the only two-time finalist among the 20 players who were nominated Monday to the Watch List for the FCS' outstanding player. The Sports Network will present the Heisman of the FCS on Dec. 15 at the national awards banquet.
Past winners of the Payton include Steve McNair, Tony Romo, Brian Westbrook, Brian Finneran, John Friesz, Armanti Edwards and the 2013 recipient, Jimmy Garoppolo, this year's second-round draft choice of the New England Patriots.
Returning as finalists to the Watch List besides Zenner, who finished seventh in 2012 and sixth last year, were five quarterbacks: Eastern Washington junior Vernon Adams, who was the runner-up to Garoppolo; Fordham senior Michael Nebrich, fifth; Southeastern Louisiana senior Bryan Bennett, eighth; Villanova junior John Robertson, ninth; and Princeton senior Quinn Epperly, 10th.
Also nominated to the Watch List were quarterbacks Jacob Huesman of Chattanooga, Jordan Johnson of Montana, Alex Ross of Coastal Carolina and Michael Strauss of Richmond; running backs Rob Hollomon of Central Connecticut State, DaMarcus James of Jacksonville State, David Johnson of Northern Iowa, Shepard Little of Eastern Illinois and Keshaudas Spence of Sacred Heart; wide receivers Sam Ajala of Fordham, Kenny Cook of Gardner-Webb, R.J. Harris of New Hampshire and Cooper Kupp of Eastern Washington; and tight end MyCole Pruitt of Southern Illinois. All are seniors except Huesman, Robertson and Ross, who are juniors, and Kupp, a sophomore who was named the 2013 Jerry Rice Award winner as the FCS freshman of the year.
The breakdown by position: nine quarterbacks, six running backs, four wide receivers and one tight end.
Zenner, who is 6 feet, 215 pounds, rushed for an FCS-high 2,044 yards in 2012 and then 2,015 yards a year ago to join former Sacramento State tailback Charles Roberts as the second FCS player with a pair of 2,000-yard seasons. A two-time first-team FCS All-American, Zenner leads all active FCS players in rushing yards (4,529) and all-purpose yards (5,871), and is second in touchdowns (43).
Among the other returning finalists, Adams passed for 4,994 yards and 55 touchdowns a year ago, which both rank third all-time in an FCS season. He finished second nationally in total yards per game (373.3), just behind the national leader, Nebrich (376.4), who threw for 35 touchdowns against only seven interceptions.
Bennett ranked fourth in the FCS in total yards (4,211), while Robertson led all quarterbacks with 1,405 yards and 20 touchdowns on the ground. Epperly was responsible for 26.2 points per game, which was the national high.
The Walter Payton Award Watch List can undergo revision during the 2014 season. Ballots will be sent to a national panel of over 150 sports information and media relations directors, broadcasters, writers and other dignitaries following the regular season. The top three vote-getters will be invited to the presentation of the award.
The Sports Network also presents the Buck Buchanan, Jerry Rice and Eddie Robinson awards. The Buchanan Award honors the outstanding defensive player in the FCS, the Rice Award goes to the FCS freshman of the year and the Robinson Award is bestowed upon the FCS coach of the year.

The DOJ Takes Aim at DOMA
Late on Tuesday, when just about everyone had already left for their Fourth of July celebrations, the Department of Justice announced that it was asking the Supreme Court to take two DOMA lawsuits, promptly. The first was no surprise: You know that the First Circuit already, very cautiously, declared in the Massachusetts cases (Gill v. OPM) that DOMA's Section 3 was unconstitutional. That's the section that says that, for federal purposes, marriage is between one man and one woman—and therefore that the United States will refuse to recognize any state's decision to marry same-sex pairs. It's because of DOMA Section 3 that I'm married in Massachusetts but not in the United States. If that were overruled, the federal government would have to treat me as married, for purposes such as taxes, social security, inheritance, and so on. I wouldn't have to file as single hither but as married yon.
You recall the backstory here, right? Last year, Obama's Justice Department declared that it would no longer defend DOMA, because it believed the act to be unconstitutional—although the rest of the administration says it is continuing to enforce DOMA, as is its constitutional duty. So John Boehner's House of Representatives put together BLAG—the Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group—to do the defending. Last week, BLAG asked the Supreme Court to overturn the First Circuit's decision in Gill. The Department of Justice weighed in, asking the Supreme Court to uphold—arguing against the government's own law.
So here's the inside-baseball surprise: DOJ also asked the Supreme Court to rule on the California case Golinski v. OPM, which has been decided by a trial court but hasn't yet been reviewed by the Ninth Circuit. That's what made my head tilt like a confused puppy. Why ask to add that particular case, of all the DOMA challenges out there? Why not, say, the Edie Windsor case, which I wrote about here recently?
(Side note: Remember, Golinski is not the famous Boies-Olson challenge to California's Prop 8; that's Perry. Perry has nothing to do with DOMA. Rather, it's a right-to-marry case that the Ninth Circuit's decision trimmed to affect only California. In Perry, we hope SCOTUS will refuse to review, thereby letting the Ninth Circuit decision stand—and thus allowing California same-sex couples to marry, while affecting no other states. Golinski, by contrast, like Gill, says basically: "My state married me. The states get to decide who's married; if the United States believes in equal protection under law, it cannot pick and choose which legally valid marriages it will and will not treat as marriages. So ignore Congress's invalid law and recognize my valid state marriage, please.")
I made some calls to ask sources why DOJ filed this. Short answer: No one knows. Longer answer: For outside lawyers (I was told), trying to interpret the Department of Justice's actions is like trying to understand the actions of the Kremlin or the Vatican. It's impenetrable. There are long-term institutional interests, competing factions, many layers of internal review, and no way to know exactly which long-percolating intentions or debates have come to the fore. Maybe DOJ wants the Supreme Court to consider the fact that, in the Golinski case, the trial court declared that heightened scrutiny was appropriate, as the Ninth Circuit has previously declared—while the First Circuit (and therefore Gill) is using "rational basis" instead.
(Side note: I know, I really have drunk the legalese Kool-Aid, haven't I? Roughly, as I understand it, "heightened scrutiny" means that the court really, really has to examine any law for bias, because the group being affected is traditionally a disfavored group. "Rational basis" means any old reason for passing the law is fine, because legislatures get to pass laws when they want to, as long as they have a reason and the constitutional authority to do so.)
Or maybe DOJ didn't want a Ninth Circuit decision to come up for review, since the First Circuit's anti-DOMA decision was written so cautiously by such a well-respected conservative judge, Michael Boudin, while the USSC loves to overrule the Ninth Circuit. Or maybe DOJ was close to filing its petition when Windsor came down and just didn't bother to backtrack to add that one in too. Who knows?
But here's what matters to me: Everyone thinks that the Supreme Court will—at a minimum—review Gill and Massachusetts this term—and that by either a 5-4 or 6-3 decision, the Court will declare DOMA Section 3 unconstitutional. My sources say that when a federal court declares an Act of Congress unconstitutional, the Supremes will take it, period. And right now, half a dozen different courts have declared DOMA section 3 to be unconstitutional. What's more, both Congress—represented by BLAG—and the executive branch—represented by DOJ—are now asking SCOTUS to review DOMA. As one lawyer told me, asking for anonymity for his personal interpretation since he represents a larger organization, "BLAG's petition was written in a way that takes aim at the Obama administration, saying the executive dropped its responsibility to defend this law. Consequently, we are now engaged in twelve separate pieces of litigation on the same issue. We're a legislature! This is not our job. You, Court, are the only ones that can put us out of our misery. Please decide this once and for all.
The same source, who's been right on peculiarly small LGBT points of law for 15 years now, tells me, "I can't envision losing Kennedy's vote. The man who wrote Romer, the man who wrote Lawrence, would change his mind on a simple and straightforward equal-protection case that doesn't impose marriage on any state? He's such a believer in federalism, and this involves Congress sticking its nose in something it never stuck its nose in before." And here's the brain-spinning part: My sources say that Roberts could well decide to be on the right side of history as well, for the same reasons he decided in favor of the ACA and slapped Arizona on immigration.
After all, after about half a dozen decisions, not a single federal court has yet upheld DOMA Section 3. Given the polling, no one has any doubt which way same-sex marriage is heading. A win at the ballot box in any of the four states that are voting on marriage equality this fall will only help give the Supreme Court more confidence about declaring that the federal government must offer equal treatment to same-sex marriages made in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire, New York, Iowa, and Washington, D.C. (and perhaps, after November, also in Maine, Maryland, and/or Washington).
I've already put in my request for my Supreme Court press pass, and my fabulous editor says he will get me one. By June 2013, I might be married in the United States. Will I still be married when I visit your state—say, North Carolina, Florida, or Texas? Ah, that's a question for another day. Stay tuned!

Wouldn't it be better to have all the benefits and protections of marriage in most states and the federal recognition and benefits of marriage but in the form of state Civil Unions defined as marriage minus conception rights, but give up the claim for equal procreation rights that come with marriage?
I think making that claim for equal procreation rights is what makes so many states reject Civil Unions, because they see them as temporary stepping stones to SSM. If we permanently prohibited same-sex procreation and permanently protected marriage's procreation rights, we'd end same-sex marriage in every state that allows it, and then CU's would not be stepping stones to marriage and we'd see most states enact CU's to help thousands of same sex families.
What is more important, having the equal right to procreate with someone of the same sex, or getting protections and security to thousands of same-sex couples in the form of CU's?

The current laptop fan design usually double or triple fan design, the cooling effect is mainly generated by the fan air flow is determined, rather than the number of fans. So buy notebook cooler, do not be blind superstition three fan design, sometimes still more outstanding dual fan design.

Marine general set Corps on new course
Maj. Gen. Melvin Spiese honored with medal at retirement ceremony
CAMP PENDLETON As he prepares to retire next month after more than 36 years as a Marine, Maj. Gen. Melvin Spiese said a disappointment of his career turned into an opportunity to make a lasting impact on the Corps.
Spiese, deputy commanding general of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force, said he was always in the "wrong place" and never fulfilled an infantryman's dream to serve in combat.
Instead, Spiese helped improve the way the Corps trains and educates its war fighters. He helped rewrite the Corps' professional military education program, establish a special duty assignment and full-time job for combat instructors at the School of Infantry, to name a few achievements.
In recognition of his legacy and service to the Corps as a "true visionary," Spiese was presented Friday during his official retirement ceremony with the Navy Distinguished Service Medal. It was given to him at Camp Pendleton by Undersecretary of the Navy Robert Work.
A parachuting accident that broke his fibula as commander of the 2nd Force Reconnaissance Company took Spiese out of consideration for regimental commander. He was reassigned to U.S. Special Operations Command as a policy officer dealing with counter proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and Marine Corps matters.
Before assuming his current job in September 2010, he also served as head of the School of Infantry East, director of the Expeditionary Warfare School, the "Coyote Six" in charge of Marine Air Ground Task Force Training Command at Twentynine Palms, and commanding general of Training and Education Command in Quantico, Va.
During his last assignment, a dual-hat job as commanding general of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Brigade and second in charge of the West Coast Marine force, Spiese was instrumental in crafting the contingency plan for transporting a Marine force ashore during a major crisis such as an earthquake, reinvigorating Marine Expeditionary Units and their ability to perform maritime raids, and refinement of the annual Dawn Blitz exercise.
A mentor and guest at the ceremony, retired Maj. Gen. Tom Jones, taught him that he could have the biggest impact on the Corps by spending time at its "knotholes," the schools, commands and combat centers that define and perpetuate the future for Marines.
"It is with immense satisfaction that I have had the opportunity to have influence on the institution in so many places, and be able to leave knowing that some of the things I have had a chance to participate in will last long after my memory has faded," Spiese said.
Work, a retired Marine colonel, was the man who inspired Spiese to join the Corps. Work was a towering midshipman on a Marine option on the drill team at the University of Illinois, with the bearing that Spiese thought epitomized what a military man should be. At the time, Spiese was a red-haired, spindly-legged son of a career Army soldier planning to become a Navy pilot.
The two became roommates and drinking buddies, then parted ways after Work became an artilleryman but Spiese "failed the test and had to be an infantryman," joked Work, during his roast and toast Friday to his lifelong friend "Mellie."

Midwest Living Review
Where should we start when describing this Art Deco gem in Kansas City? Maybe with the ceilings. The soaring, cathredrallike works of art draw your eyes upward the moment you step inside, and you can't help but spend a few moments getting lost in their architectural details and the romance that accompanied train travel through this bustling terminal generations ago. But once you find yourself back in the present day, you'll find several pleasant ways to spend your time. We timed our visit to check out the traveling exhibit "Diana, A Celebration," shortly after the royal wedding of Diana's son William. And while we enjoyed that exhibition a great deal, we found ourselves spending more time at the science center, where our 5-year-old could have spent a day without asking once what time it was. He clambered down a slide designed to look like a sewer pipe in an area created to offer lessons about KC's public works department. He spent nearly an hour playing mini golf in a specialized course that blasts foam golf balls through the air when they enter vacuum tunnels. He watched snakes get fed their lunch (dead mice), dug for dinosaur bones in a sand pit, learned about tornadoes in a weather exhibit and pretended he was in kindergarten by visiting a hands-on classroom. We noticed that groups of women who came to see "Diana" dined at Pierpont's, the upscale steak and seafood house and indulged in treats at the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, where we also tried a decadent frozen banana and some thick-coated chocolate-covered graham crackers. Overall, we were at Union Station for more than three hours and never even made it to the planetarium, and we would definitely return (even without the 5-year-old).

White: Plan was Barnett vs. Dos Santos - Mixed Martial Arts News
According to UFC President Dana White, a match up between the two former heavyweight kingpins was in the works for Barnett's first UFC fight in over 10 years, but it all went out the window when "The Warmaster" decided he didn't want to commit to an exclusive UFC contract.
While some may conjure the story as Barnett was unwilling to sign with the UFC because a match up with "Cigano" doesn't appeal to him, White wants to quickly dismiss that notion.
"I'm sure Josh Barnett wouldn't care (who he fought)," White said in a media scrum (watch it here) following the UFC on FUEL TV 7 post-fight press conference in London. "Josh Barnett is a fly by the seat of his pants kind of guy, he does his own thing, beats to his own (expletive) drum. Josh Barnett's never been a guy to say I don't want to fight this guy or I won't fight that guy. He's not that type of person."

And Constantinos Philippou is looking to make UFC matchmaker Joe Silva's job a little easier.
"Belfort sounds good to me," said the Keith Trimble-trained striker. "NOT in Brazil!"
The Brazilian has come under fire from fans and media alike for his testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). Not necessarily because he's undergoing the controversial treatment, like several other notable fighters on the ZUFFA roster, but because he's had the luxury of competing in his home country and away from the watchful eyes of stateside athletic commissions.
Belfort hasn't thrown hands in the Untied States since knocking out Yoshihiro Akiyama at UFC 133 back in Aug. 2011.

Denmark and EV cars
As many readers know, I'm a HUGE fan of WIRED magazine - it's Editor-in-Chief, Chris Anderson, is an NXT Tinkerer himself. The latest issue (16.09 - September issue) features the cover story, "The Future of the Electric Car" and it's a MUST read if you have even a spackling of interest in EV vehicles. As a driver, I worry about the cost of gas rising, but as a father I worry about the world my son will grow up in... so it's always nice to read about a company that's trying to do something to change the world...
The article focuses on Better Place, a new company founded by an ex SAP executive. Suffice to say, a plan is in place in Israel to move to EV vehicles - the plan is so impressive that Denmark has signed on to participate. (Apparently Denmark generates about 18% of its energy from wind power and the entire country is proud of its "green" and looking to do more.)
Grab a copy of the magazine and read it students especially, because in 10-20 years time, you'll be driving something like this (hopefully!) or maybe something even better.
Now, back to the world of NXT...

Interesting post..... Thanks Jim for sharing....
I remember when I was at school, the latest statistics from that time showed the oil fields will run out completely by the year 2007. I remember reading a very similar (conceptually) article in the New Scientist Magazine. I got excited and looked forward to that day. But 'the better place' never materialised! So pardon my scepticism all this years on. The world has become a more complex place. How would you convince 2 billion people in a growth hungry country like China and India and tell the people to adopt this concept?
But if enough of us believe in it, then combined with the carbon taxing - eventually we will reach a more environmentally freindly balanc.
And Going back to the Better Place vision - The only issue I have a problem with is the concept of battery replacement points:
The cells have finite life and like your laptop battery, after about 1000 charges, you kind of throw it away and get a new rechargeable battery.
How would you feel if you own a brand new car and you go to one of these places and your new battery gets replaced with a crappy brand that has been thrashed and abused?

bluetooth, hopefully these issues have already been addressed, it is cheaper to recycle a battery if you have millions the same, batteries are easy to recycle, its just chemicals afterall. Your point about thrashed batteries is dealt with by sophisticated charges that are able to precisely measure capacity and mark for recycling if no good. The really clever bit of the scheme is that while a car is plugged into the grid (at home and at work so 90% of its life) it acts as an electrical storage device, a certain % of a battery connected to the mains can be drained when power is needed, (limited to say ~10% so your car will never be flat), but when the grid demands power say a 2 minute TV ad break, the car batteries take the surge, and the cars are fully recharged again over the next 20 minutes, from other sources like wind.
the beauty of the scheme is the two positives, Massive electrical storage, and upgradability, the universal connection allowing for future better batteries to be used without a new car! just phased in as developed. You only pay for the charge in the battery you get, which depends on the age, temperature, chemistry, etc of the battery.

Firehouse Chili and World Trade Center Building # 6
Photo courtesy of James Tourtellotte The American flag flies precariously out of an office window at the New York Customhouse at the World Trade 6 building at ground zero.
Photo courtesy of James Tourtellotte Construction workers painted "Gods House" on the exterior wall of the U.S. Customhouse at 6 World Trade Center to direct construction workers and rescue crews to the site of the crosses within the building.
Photo courtesy of James Tourtellotte This debris field in the center of the U.S. Customhouse at 6 World Trade Center was caused by pieces that fell from the North Tower. Steel beams formed several crosses in the midst of the debris field.
Photo courtesy of James Tourtellotte This cross, one of several found in the debris of the U.S. Customhouse at 6 World Trade Center, was preserved by construction workers and blessed by clergy in a solemn ceremony held outside the building on Thursday, October 4, 2001.

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...It was years ago. It was yesterday. When the air finally cleared, a camera zoomed to a devastating shot of the US Custom House - World Trade Center Building # 6. I gasped and as my brain processed the scene I began to cry. I knew this building well. My job included technical responsibility for custom's clearance and duty payment and I was often here for what I, sarcastically, called enlightenment. I last visited in 2000, the year of my retirement. At that time, # 6 stood tall and strong and proudly flew colors that spoke of permanence and freedom. It wasn't a particularly handsome building, but its squat strength bore an air of invincibility that seemed to belie the fact that all walls eventually crumble. Whether it was a vagary of fate, or the work of a higher power, all who worked here were evacuated before # 6 imploded. At the very least, it was a tender mercy shown on that surreal and brutal day when few, if any, miracles occurred. While the walls collapsed, those who understood the importance of symbols kept our colors flying. I thank them for their efforts.
We have been asked to make our Pink Saturday feature a remembrance of 9-11. I thought this recipe for firehouse chili, developed by a fireman, would be appropriate. Jerry's recipe, as well as recipes developed by other firemen, can be found Here.

2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon sugar sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried sage
2 cups water
Brown hamburger or pork, drain & set aside. Brown stew meat in butter with onion and bell pepper. Place ground beef, stew meat, onion and bell pepper in crock pot. Add 1 can of kidney beans, black beans, tomato paste and sauce, Rotel tomatoes, beer, and all seasonings to crock pot and mix well. Add water. Turn crock pot on high and cook until chili gets hot,about 1 hour. Reduce heat to low and cook 6 hours longer. About 1 hour before you plan on eating, add reserved can of kidney beans.

Thank you for a touching reminder of that day. My stunning moment came when I saw The Pentagon and could so easily envision the horror and devastation there. I spent five years in the building working near the point of impact. I recalled the feeling of safety in being in that fortress. It never entered my mind that what happened that day in New York, Pennsylvania and Washington D.C. could occur. It did.
What an appropriate dish for "pink" Saturday. It looks four-alarm delicious.

Love a good chili for sure! 9/11 will forever be a horrible horrible day in my memory. I wasn't close to the tragedy personally, but I will never ever forget it or the thousands of souls who lost their lives due to terrorism.

Mary your post has really touched me! Thank you so much for putting this post together. It's funny, because as I'm sitting here reading your post, I am eating a bowl of chili. My son is moving back to N.Y. in a few days and requested me to make it.

Thank you for posting this, I'd never heard that story before. You're right, miracles were rare during that time.
The chili sounds awesome, but maybe too much for me. However, my nephew and his wife, if possible, would make it even hotter! Gonna send this right over to them. Thanks!

Even today I feel so sad for what happened to WTC and people who were there in the building. I was listening to the radio today about the new WTC building and it was so sad to know that they are still uncovering human remains. It is totally a inhumane act. My prayers for the families who lost their loved ones.

I was watching this on TV and I couldn't believe my eyes. My brother worked very close to the buildings and until I heard from him I was scared to death. I feel very sorry for all the innocent people around the world, who pay for the irrational decisions of a minority of people. Food always comforts our hearts. Your chili looks terrific.

It was a day in modern American history must never forget. I remember how flags to buy were scarce, as people attached them to their cars. Churches filled to overflowing. Life has gone back to normalcy and the car flags are gone, and many churches remain half empty.
I remember that day so well, and how I stared in disbelief as I watched that second plane hit. I dug out my photo album of my visit to NYC years before. It's hard to believe those towers are gone. We must never forget, but we must never hold on to hate. This is a great tribute.
The chili is fitting, and it's a great way to welcome in fall weather.

My area was greatly affected by the events of 9-11. We all know someone or several people who lost their lives in the attack. Everywhere you turned today there were tributes. I suspect that the day is not as easily remembered in other parts of the country. Thank you for your post that served as a great reminder. We must not forget.

Mary, I just pulled up a letter I received from an old friend of my brother's sent to my family after my brother passed away last year. In the letter he sent us a copy of a letter my brother had written to this guy recounting his (brother's) experience of 9/11. He worked in an adjacent building and watched the whole thing. Chilling and so sad. Thanks for this reminder. And the chili. xo

This magnesium has taken away all heart palpitations and muscle twitching. Keeps me calm, relaxed, and gives a great sleep without any digestion issues. A total winner all the way around.
We take this evening and bedtime, in two doses, around 800mg total. It is helpful for leg cramps, twitches, and certain resistant forms of low mood issues. It seems to help lift mood in many cases.

It has been officially twenty-four hours since the launch of yet another x32/x64 (Windows) game - in this case, Need for Speed: Rivals.
While "newcomer" Ghost Games is the developer of record, the assistance of Criterion Games (most of Ghost Games talent), and DICE (supplier of the game's Frostbite 3 engine, and the rest of the Ghost talent pool) is also noted in the credits. Like that other released Frostbite 3 game (Battlefield 4), an x64-native executable is also on tap.
Who else is playing the game at all? (I have NOT delved into the online multiplayer yet - I'm still slogging through the campaigns in offline mode. However, don't go thinking that it will be ANY easier than online mode would be; the toughness of the AI came as a rather rude shock to me - especially compared to NFS Most Wanted.) Have you taken the x64 executable for a spin yet?
Like Battlefield 4, I'm running on what would be considered bare-minimal hardware for x64: Intel Q6600, 4 GB of RAM, Windows 8.1 Pro x64, nVidia GTX550Ti. The game is unchanged from the default settings. I'm using the keyboard (same one I normally use - Microsoft's Wireless 6000 V3).
How does it compare (in your opinion) to Most Wanted or other recent NFS titles?
How different are the the x32 and x64 versions on your hardware?

The reason I ask this is because within the last year they have signed a shitload of Russian fighters.
So I figured this was just a good way to start building them up for a future Russian card.
I know they said they plan on going to Poland this year and there's a lot of Russians there, so maybe they'll have a lot of them on that card as well.

Whether memory loss stems from Alzheimer's, a stroke, Parkinson's disease or another cause, both patient and caregiver often experience frustration, boredom, anger or depression. Those who have Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia can experience a prolonged decline in their health but often retain their social skills.
Licensed for 35 participants on a daily basis, the goal of the Five Star Club's programming is to keep patients mentally and physically stimulated by offering personalized care plans and various activities including exercise, dance, bingo, card games, theme parties, arts and crafts, animal therapy visits, music and a fellowship group, plus a well-balanced lunch and two snacks. Toileting and bathing assistance and referrals to other community services are also provided.
"We have a very social, user-friendly and relaxed environment here," says Denise Latini, RN, BSN, PHN, Manager, Five Star Club. "Our services are offered in a non-medical, club-like setting so our clients feel comfortable and safe. The Five Star Club is a place for individuals to come and enjoy the day. It is like coming to a senior center, but they receive supervision and assistance."
The Five Star Club has a roster of 80 to 100 clients at any one time. The Club also accepts clients in wheelchairs. Some clients come once or twice a week, others come all five days.
The Club's dedicated staff of seven, many of whom have been with the Club for 19 and 23 years, is specially trained and ensures a five-to-one client-to-staff ratio. "Our staff promotes a no-fail environment and really cares about each member's well-being. Negatives like 'don't,' 'can't' and 'no' are not part of our communication with our memory-impaired clients," says Latini. "We use compassionate communication. For many dementia patients, every time they ask a question they genuinely think it is the first time they are doing so. Our goal is to keep them calm, happy and engaged by redirecting them away from any answers or subject matter that might be upsetting to them."
Caring for the CaregiverThe Five Star Club, in addition to providing respite for caregivers of dementia patients, also offers support through its free, weekly two-hour caregivers support group held conveniently during Five Star Club hours. Latini leads the Alzheimer's Association support group that is sponsored at the Five Star Club. Caregivers of non-club members are also encouraged to participate in the group.
The Five Star Club, located at 42201 Beacon Hill, Suite A, Palm Desert, is open Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Transportation is available on fully ADA-compliant SunDial buses.For more information about the Five Star Club, or to schedule an appointment for a Club visit, call 760-836-0232.
