Silva very gracious in defeat
Silva very gracious in defeat
silva retiring?
No more middleweight title fights...but he wants superfights?
and god damn it. i lost a bet to william munny at mmaspot. fuck fuck fuck
I think Silva took a dive... Seriously...
I still can't believe it. rewind button better not break.
All manner of men came to work for the News: everything from wild young Turks who wanted to rip the world in half and start all over again -- to tired, beer-bellied old hacks who wanted nothing more than to live out their days in peace before a bunch of lunatics ripped the world in half.
Dr. Hunter S. Thompson
The Rum Diary
Yeah, Bye.
Wow not fighting for the belt? What the shit?
"I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road."
- Stephen Hawking
Silva doesn't want a rematch? I don't think he is scared of anyone, so I am really puzzled by this. I don't know what the hell that means.
A tiger never loses sleep over the opinion of sheep.
What's not to understand?
"I chained my family, I chained myself. I hispec Chris, I hispec America. People, God bless you. I chained my family."
Crystal clear to me.

I want to use a late 2007 iMac as an external monitor for my new 2012 iMac. Which cable(s) do I need?
- Asked by Edward M from Hillsborough
Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter
Product No Longer Available
1 Answer from the Community
Buy only one of the following:
-a FireWire cable
-A mini display cable (a lot like the thunderbolt cable)
-thunderbolt cable
Make sure the older Mac supports ether of these cables. You will need to know about target disk mode in order for this process to work. I'm all positive the thunderbolt or the mini display cable will work though.

Australian History: Snowy MOUNTAIN sCHEME
The Snowy Mountains Hydro-electric Scheme first began as a means of obtaining extra irrigation, however later expanded to integrate a hydro-electric power supply. The project is the single greatest engineering project Australia has ever known and possibly will ever know and has been listed as a "world-class civil engineering project" by the American Society of Civil Engineers [1]. The purpose of the scheme was to collect water from the east of the Great Dividing Range and divert it westward through the Snowy Mountains to the Murray and Murrumbidgee river systems to create a major water supply for farmers and also to generate electricity.
When the scheme began in 1949, the rugged Snowy Mountains had barely been charted with few roads to assist in the construction. The Scheme managed by the Snowy Mountains Hydro-Electric Authority, now called Snowy Hydro Limited, the body set up to construct the project, had to lay down all the roads before anything could be done. Two nearby townships were destroyed and residents relocated to make way for the huge dams. Several small towns were built for its construction workers of which some have become permanent: Cabramurra (the highest town in Australia); and Khancoban.
Initial proposals in 1918 were instigated by the needs of farmers who wanted to make use of the waters of the Snowy River which flowed down the Great Dividing Ranges into the sea, by diverting the water inland for irrigation. In the same year, a plan for a dam was suggested to the NSW government for the construction of a power plant but made no provision for inland irrigation. However the plans were put on hold, revived once in 1937 and 1944 and it wasn't until 1946 where the Federal, Victorian and NSW governments joined together to investigate the possibilities of a Snowy Scheme. In 1949 the Government accepted a proposal and the Snowy Mountain Hydro-Electric Power Act was passed in Federal Parliament in July 1949. The Snowy Mountains Authority came into being on August 1 of the same year led by Sir William Hudson, a prominent New Zealand engineer.
- It took nearly 25 years to build from 1949 to 1974 and had a historical cost of $800 million [3] is equivalent to approximately $6 billion dollars in today's (2004) dollar currency.
- The intention was that income from the sale of electricity generated by the scheme was to repay the Commonwealth Government over a period of 70 years. Prior to corporatisation the operation and maintenance of the scheme relating to water management and electricity production were subject to oversight by the Snowy Mountains Council.
- The construction of the scheme employed about 100,000 workers from 30 countries which played an important role in Australia's post-war economic and social development [4].
- The scheme comprises of 16 large dams and many smaller ones, around 145 kilometers of mountain tunnels, seven power stations (two underground), more than 80km of mountain aqueducts and hundreds of kilometers of power lines.
- It covers an area of around 5,000 square kilometres in the rugged Snowy Mountains on the New South Wales-Victoria border.
- The chosen location is significant whereby altitudes exceed 2100m (Mt.Kosciusko, the highest point in Australia) and where a large proportion of the area is over 1800m [2]. This is important as precipitation in the form of snow and rain falls in catchment areas of the Scheme. Water from melting snow and rain is collected and stored in large dams which are then diverted through tunnels and pipelines down to power stations, hundreds of metres below. Mountainous regions are ideally suited to the generation of hydro-electricity, because there is plenty of rain and snow, low temperatures meaning less evaporation and high mountains to provide the steep fall that is needed for the water to spin the turbines [4].
- The Scheme is the largest renewable energy generator in mainland Australia and plays a pivotal role in the operation of the national electricity market, generating approximately 3.5% of the mainland grid's power.
- The Scheme provides approximately 2,100 gigalitres of water a year to the Basin, providing additional water for an irrigated agriculture industry worth about $5 bn per annum, representing more than 40% of the gross value of the nation's agricultural production.
- The scheme has a generating capacity of 3,756 megawatts and it generates an average of 4,500 gigawatt hours of energy per annum.
- The scheme's electricity production was shared 13 per cent Commonwealth, 29 per cent Victoria and 58 per cent New South Wales.
- The scheme was corporatised in June 2002 and commenced operation as a corporate entity in the national electricity market.
- Snowy Hydro currently provides over 70% of all renewable energy that is available to the eastern mainland grid of Australia, as well as providing fast response power to light up the morning and evening rush hours of Sydney, Brisbane, Canberra, Melbourne and Adelaide.

Business Awards 2014: Best Business Start-Up Award
Posted: May 07, 2014|
WATCHING a cat playing in an old cardboard box gave Ellie Cruse an idea for a business – now she's an award winner.
Ellie launched EcoKitty in Plymouth University's Formation Zone, a hub for start-up enterprises.
The business now trades online selling the cat- and environmentally-friendly EcoKitty cardboard playhouse and an expanding range of handmade toys and recycled products such as food bowls.
And the idea has won the Best Business Start-up category in The Herald Business Awards 2014.
The judges were impressed by the uniqueness and quirkiness of this business, in a category designed to honour the best and most original business idea.
The category was sponsored by the Plymouth and South West Peninsula City Deal Growth Hub, and Adrian Dawson, head of GAIN partnerships and projects, presented Ellie with her award.
Paul Burton, editor of The Herald, said: "EcoKitty is a worthy winner of the Best Business Start-up award. Ellie has shown that a flash of inspiration can lead to the birth of a wonderful business."

May 29, 2012
PACIFIC PALISADES, Calif. --- Led by veteran T.J. Mitchell, the Georgia men's golf team posted an 11-over-par 295 in the first round of the NCAA Championships on Tuesday at The Riviera Club.
All 30 teams in the field will play 54 holes, with the top eight advancing to match play beginning on Friday. The Bulldogs stand 15th in the tightly bunched team race that has Alabama in first place at 1-over 285, two teams at 4-over, two teams at 5-over and five teams at 6-over. The 6-over squads occupy what would be the eighth spot, and the 20th-seeded Bulldogs trail them by just five shots.
Mitchell, the only Bulldog back from last year's NCAA finalist squad, paced Georgia on Tuesday with an even-par 71. The junior is 13th in the individual standings, with UCLA's Anton Arboleda leading at 4-under 67. Sophomore Keith Mitchell added a 2-over 73, while freshman Nicholas Reach signed for a 3-over 74, and sophomores Joey Garber and Brian Carter each had a 6-over 77.
"We had our chances," Georgia coach Chris Haack said. "We played well in spurts, but we gave away a few at the beginning and a few at the end. We need to play better the next two rounds, and we'll see what happens. During the practice round, everybody hit it well. And they're all playing with confidence because I've seen it. We've just got to translate that into better scores This is a golf course that's known worldwide for being a great track, and you'd better respect it. You just can't give away shots. But the guys are learning. They're young and they're getting better."
"We kind of lost a few shots coming in, which is crucial because every shot counts," T.J. Mitchell said. "We've talked about that all year, making every shot count, especially at the Regionals and now at the NCAAs. We're in a good spot. We can get back in it by playing well the next two days. We seemed to settle in around the middle part of the course, and we need to remember that for Wednesday. We can't compound mistakes with other mistakes. We've got to stay in the present and try to have fun."
The Bulldogs will tee off in 10-minute increments between 3:40 and 4:20 EST in the second round on Wednesday. Thursday's third-round tee times will be determined by the 36-hole scores. Live results and pairings can be found at NCAA.com.
"If we can follow up with two good rounds, I think we'll be fine," Keith Mitchell said. "We need to get off to a great start, and if we're confident on the greens and stay with it, some putts will finally drop. It's a privilege to be out here, to play such a great course against such great competition. If we take it in and appreciate the opportunity we have, it will be a fun time."

1) you replace ALL OF THE FOOD with 3 x shakes per day, 2 cookie things per day and you can have vegetables or a bit of fruit
2) the shakes (choc, strawb and vanilla) are delicious
4) the cookies are too sweet
5) the shakes have enough fibre to relieve a large mammal
6) you buy it through Usana which is kind of a pyramid selling thing for health food
5 days, all I did for 5 days was crave various things and visit the ladies repeatedly. It ended up coming down to this, I lost 2 kilos and my desert island food is apparently Bega Tasty Cheese and those thin crackers that look like paper. And a bottle of wine.
I changed my coffee to skim with sweetener, I could not go through coffee withdrawal as well.
Day 1 was EASY PEASY, all of the things plus a big bowl of steamed veg with soy. Delicious.
I had had the shakes before, they were great but by Day 2 I remembered that its more of a fibre cleanse and not actually like fasting. Those shakes are full of fibre and probably some kind of thickener which gets really thick with fridge-cold water.
If your diet does not already include panda amounts of fibre your body will go into shock. Your guts will hurt. They will sing the song of the hungry people. Its not good.
Day 3, headaches as well as noisy guts. Day 3 I became obsessed with various foods, but the underlying one was cheese and crackers. Grouchy.
Day 4 headache was terrible, buscopan had to be taken to stop the terrible torture of the sore guts. I had to give myself a firm talking to and decided to go on.
Day 5 YESSSS I could do this, but by 2.30pm I was wobbly on my feet and decided I needed to eat actual real food to make school pickup. 4 seconds and 10 cheese and crackers later the headache and the wobblies were gone, I was in a better mood but I felt I had done it.
Then I ate chorizo pasta and drank some wine. Some 4 glasses. It was delicious.
I rocked up to Kung Fu the next day for a weigh in. 4.5 days of this diet plus a binge had netted me a 1.9kg loss and a hangover.
It was not easy, it was not pretty but a week later and its still gone. I am considering continuing on the 2 shake replacements a day but it aint cheap and frankly there is sugar in there, I would do better go to on a total meat and fat diet, it would probably be cheaper and more efficient but the problem with that is that I would have to THINK. And we can't have that.
Efficiency 7/10
Ease (lack of braining, lack of prepping, lack of planning) 9/10
Physical Torture 6.5/10
Willpower challenge 6.5/10
Bathroom visits I give you a 2/10 because you seriously would not want to be at work for this nonsense.

By Jim GaramoneAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10, 1998 Just over 1,000 U.S. service members are helping rush food, shelter, pure water and medical aid to the Central Americans made homeless by Hurricane Mitch.
Army Secretary Louis Caldera, Defense Secretary William S. Cohen's personal representative, returned Nov. 8 from a trip to Honduras, Nicaragua and Guatemala. He met with U.S. Southern Command Commander Marine Corps Gen. Charles E. Wilhelm and local officials.
Southern Command spokesman Steve Lucas said the aid effort has turned international. In addition to U.S. service members, Japanese engineers and Dutch Mexican aid workers are helping the area recover. U.S. helicopters are delivering the bulk of the supplies.
"Roads are starting to open up, but airlift is still the only way we can get food, water and medical supplies to some of the hardest hit areas," Lucas said. "Local people are overjoyed to see our helicopters come in, but the amount of aid these people will need is staggering."
Hurricane Mitch destroyed or damaged 60 percent of the infrastructure in the three Central American countries. More than 11,000 people died during the storm and thousands more face death from disease. More than 1 million people are homeless and hundreds of thousands of others cannot return to their homes to assess damage until the floodwaters recede, Caldera said.
As of Nov. 9, U.S. helicopters have flown 221 missions and delivered 376 tons of food and medical supplies. "For some of the people it was the first food they had in a week," Caldera said during a Pentagon news conference.
Relief supplies are entering the country aboard Air Force C-17 transports. The cargo is shifted to C-130 and C-27 aircraft to get to smaller, more remote and rugged airports. At those airports, the cargo is shifted to Black Hawk and Chinook helicopters to reach people cut off by road. After dropping off supplies, the helicopters are evacuating the injured.
"One young Nicaraguan girl came out on one of our helicopters," Caldera said. "She had a broken leg and had no medicine or medical care for a week."
There are 23 Army helicopters in the region now with 16 more helicopters due to arrive in the region from Fort Bragg, N.C., and Fort Stewart, Ga. Sixteen more helicopters have been alerted and a further 16 identified for possible deployment. Caldera is working with state adjutant generals to see if they can provide transportation for some of the thousands of tons of goods Americans have donated.
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers teams arrived in the area Nov. 9 to assess the damage and help local authorities assign priorities to projects, Caldera said. The Navy's Mobile Construction Battalion 7 deployed to the area from Puerto Rico. The Seabees immediately went to work with local authorities to reopen roads and rebuild bridges.
"More than 300 bridges washed out and roads have been undermined by mudslides or covered with earth," Caldera said. "[Recovery] will take a long, long time."
Army reserve component medical teams arrived in the region Nov. 9 to combat an almost inevitable outbreak of disease. "The Honduran capital of Tegucigalpa has 25 percent of the water purification capability it had before the storm," Caldera said. "This is an area with a population of over 1 million."
U.S. National Guardsmen will help with the long-term recovery of the area. More than 3,000 National Guardsmen will rotate through the area beginning in January, Caldera said. They will help restore damaged and destroyed infrastructure.
Caldera said U.S. troops in the area began with lifesaving missions. American troops based at Soto Cano, Honduras, endured the hurricane and then took to the air. The Southern Command service members rescued more than 1,000 people stranded in trees or on roofs of houses.
"We even airlifted the president of Honduras back to the capital when he was cut off due to flooding," Lucas said.
President Clinton earmarked $30 million to Southern Command to finance the rescue work. Caldera said more money will be needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
about Estate Planning in Kansas and Missouri
What is Probate?
Probate is the court and process that looks after people who cannot make their own personal, health care and financial decisions. These people fall into three general categories: Minor Children (under age 18 in most states); Incapacitated Adults; and People who have died without legal arrangements to avoid probate. Probate proceedings can be expensive and time-consuming. Additionally, the court proceeding and associated documents are all a matter of public record. Many people choose to avoid probate in order to save money, spare their heirs a legal hassle, and keep their personal affairs private.
What is Joint Tenancy with Rights of Survivorship?
(in some states "Tenancy by the Entirety" when between spouses)
This is the most common form of asset ownership between spouses. Joint tenancy (or TBE) has the advantage of avoiding probate at the death of the first spouse. However, the surviving spouse should not add the names of other relatives to their assets. Doing so may subject their assets to loss through the debts, bankruptcies, divorces and/or lawsuits of any additional joint tenants. Joint tenancy planning also may result in unnecessary death taxes on the estate of a married couple. Note: Adding a non-spouse to assets jointly owned between spouses will forfeit the tenancy by the entireties protection available to a married couple with Missouri-based assets.
What is a Will?
The document a person signs to provide for the orderly disposition of assets after death. Wills do not avoid probate. Wills have no legal authority until the willmaker dies and the original will is delivered to the probate court. Still, everyone with minor children needs a will, as the fundamental means to appoint the new "parent" of an orphaned child. Special testamentary trust provisions in a will can provide for the management and distribution of assets for your heirs. Additionally, assets can be arranged and coordinated with provisions of the testamentary trusts to avoid death taxes.
What is a Living Will?
Also known as a health care treatment directive, a living will allows you to state your wishes in advance regarding what types of medical life support measures you prefer to have, or have withheld/withdrawn if you are in a terminal condition (without reasonable hope of recovery) and cannot express your wishes yourself. Oftentimes a living will is executed along with a durable power of attorney for health care, which gives someone legal authority to make your health care decisions when you are unable to do so yourself.
What does Intestacy mean?
If you die without even a will (intestate), the legislature of your state already has determined who will inherit your assets and when they will inherit them. You may not agree with the "default" plan your state has for you and your loved ones, but roughly 70 percent of Americans currently use it by default and not by design.
What are Beneficiary Designations?
You may avoid probate on the transfer of some assets at your death through the use of beneficiary designations. Laws regarding what assets may be transferred without probate (non-probate transfer laws) vary from state to state. Some common examples include life insurance death benefits, real estate, brokerage accounts and bank accounts.
What is a Durable Power of Attorney and when do I need one?
This legal document allows you to appoint someone you know and trust to make your personal health care and financial decisions even when you cannot. If you are incapacitated without this legal instrument, then you and your family will be involved in a probate proceeding known as a guardianship and conservatorship. This is the probate court proceeding through which a judge determines who should make these decisions for you under the ongoing supervision of the court.
What is a Revocable Living Trust?
This is an agreement with three parties: the trustmaker, the trustees (or trust managers), and the trust beneficiaries. For example, a husband and wife may name themselves all three parties to create their trust, manage all the assets transferred to the trust, and have full use and enjoyment of all the trust assets as beneficiaries. Further "back-up" trust managers can step in under the terms of the trust to manage the assets should the couple become incapacitated or die. Also, special provisions in the trust control the management and distribution of assets to heirs in the event of the trustmaker's death. With proper planning, the couple can avoid or eliminate death taxes on their estate. The revocable living trust may allow you to accomplish all this outside of any court proceeding.
Who Should Have a Revocable Living Trust?
Whether you are young or old, rich or poor married or single, if you owned titled assets such as a house and want your loved ones to avoid court interference at your death or incapacity, consider a revocable living trust. A trust allows you to bring all of your assets together under one plan. However, like Goldilocks, for some clients a revocable living trust is just right, for other clients it is too much and for yet other clients it is too little. The key is to find the legal strategy and tools that are the right fit for your unique circumstances.

Dan Hind is spot on: this is an age of "hoodwinking" (19 January, p 46). For a start we should severely curb persuasive advertising. If this results in a serious decline in consumerism, so much the better, as this would make a major contribution to cutting carbon dioxide emissions.
The next step should be to require that business schools' curricula put social and environmental responsibility before company interests.

Enjoyed the ride as well as the nature aspect - learning about the native plants. Our guides were great!
February 2013
We enjoyed the bike ride and are glad we did it. Although you are in a Rainforest, it doesn't necessarily feel that way. You are riding on a road rather than a trail. The last 10 minutes was on a trail that made you feel like you were in a rainforest. This is not for novice bike riders. There are two hills, one most everyone pushed their bikes up. I put my bike in the lowest gear and made it up the hill, but I have ridden mountain bikes for years. The bikes were not in very good condition. Within 5 minutes the chain came off my bike. Someone else had a wheel issue. My wife had issues with her gears. The waterfall was a bust. There hadn't been any rain for a week and the waterfall was non-existent, just a very small trickle of water. The guide was great. He stopped several times to talk about the various trees and plants. He opened a coconut and let us sample it. Overall a good tour.
