What's Inside? - A Quick Look at the Notes
The Tigers continue their season at the Lipscomb Invitational against Lipscomb, Houston and Appalachian State.
Mizzou is coming off of a second-place finish at the Tiger Invite last weekend after going 3-1.
MU had won the last five Tiger Invites before last weekend as they hadn't lost a match in the tourney since 2007
Friday's match against Houston will be the 1,000th career match for Wayne and Susan Kreklow.
On the second weekend of play, Mizzou is 7-1 since 2010 with a pair of tournament wins.
Mizzou is the only team in this weekend's tournament with a win this season as the other three teams are 0-9.
Following the first weekend of play, Mizzou ranks third in the SEC in hitting (.332) and assists (13.08).
Sophomore Whitney Little leads the SEC in hitting (.544) after the first week of play.
All-SEC Preseason pick Lisa Henning is third in the league in kills per set at 4.38.
Setter Molly Kreklow is second in the SEC in assists per set (11.00) and leads the league in double-doubles (2).
Mizzou's .477 attack percentage against Nicholls State last weekend is the best clip by an SEC team this season.
Jade Hayes has pulled in double-digit digs in four straight matches to open the season.
Mizzou is coming off of its 10th NCAA Tournament appearance in the last 12 seasons.
The Tigers return four of their top five attackers from last year and 82-percent of their total offense.
Henning was the first ever Tiger to lead the Big 12 in points per set and kills per set in a single season in 2011.
The Tigers landed 2010's No. 9 overall recruit in Taylor Simpson, who transferred to Mizzou in June.
Simpson led the Tigers with 12 kills on .476 hitting in the annual Black & Gold Scrimmage on Aug. 17.
She hit .273 last week while posting 31 kills and pulling in 32 digs last weekend.
Whitney Little and Katie O'Brien played with the USA Development team in Italy and Croatia this summer.
Little tied the school record with 138 blocks in her freshman season in 2011.
Tigers Head to Nashville for First Road Trip of 2012
After finishing second at its home tournament - the Tiger Invitational - last weekend, the Mizzou volleyball program will hit the road for the first time in 2012 as it heads to the Lipscomb Invitational in Nashville. The Tigers will play matches against Houston, Lipscomb, a perennial NCAA Tournament team and Appalachian State. Coming in at 3-1 overall, Mizzou is the only team among the four at the tournament with a win so far this season as the tournament field is a combined 0-9. But don't let the records fool you, each team played in very difficult tournaments to open the season - Lipscomb at national power Kentucky, Houston at Ohio State and Appalachian State at Minnesota. Mizzou's tournament schedule is below.
10 a.m. - Mizzou vs. Houston
7:30 p.m. - Mizzou vs. Lipscomb
12:30 p.m. - Mizzou vs. Appalachian State
Since 2010, Mizzou has seen plenty of success when traveling to nonconference tournaments. In fact, in the second week of play at tournaments since 2010, Mizzou is 7-1 with a pair of tournament wins after capturing the Middle Tennessee Blue Raider Bash a season ago and the Pepperdine/Asics Challenge in 2010. In all, Mizzou has not finished lower than second at a nonconference tournament since 2009 when it took third place at the Utah Valley La Quinta Suites Invitational back in 2009. Last year in road tournaments Mizzou won the Blue Raider Bash before finishing as the runner-up at American and Denver.
Last Time Out
Mizzou opened its season with a second-place finish at the Tiger Invitaional. Mizzou swept North Florida behind 11.0 team blocks before having a great offensive night to beat Virginia Tech, 3-1. The Tigers then hit .477 in a sweep of Nicholls State last Saturday but were swept by Michigan in the championship match.
A New Era Begins
2012 will mark the Tigers' first year in the SEC. In all, Mizzou has played 61 matches against current SEC schools in program history, compiling a 25-36 overall record. Of course, many of those matches were between former Big 12 foe Texas A&M as Mizzou is 13-13 overall against schools that were in the SEC last season. Mizzou was 1-1 last year against SEC schools, sweeping Auburn and losing to Florida, 3-1, in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament.
Tigers Picked Fourth in SEC East
The Tigers, in the their first SEC Preseason Poll, were picked to finish fourth in the Eastern Division by the league's coaches. The loaded SEC East features league favorite Tennessee, Kentucky and Florida, all of which rank ahead of Mizzou. The Gators narrowly edged the Tigers in the poll for third place. The Tigers received 37 votes in the poll while Tennessee (12), UK (30) and Florida (35) edged the Tigers.
Historic First Two Seasons for Kreklow
Junior setter Molly Kreklow has accomplished a lot in her short career at Mizzou and the numbers show it. In fact, Kreklow has quarterbacked the Tigers to a 43-24 record (.642) over the past two seasons and a pair of NCAA Tournament wins (2-2 overall record, including a Sweet 16 appearance). The 43 wins for the Tigers over the last two seasons are the most for a Tiger setter since All-American and current assistant coach Lindsey Hunter won 45 matches from 2002-03. Kreklow already has more NCAA Tournament wins than Hunter did through her first two seasons. Also, Kreklow has set the Tigers to a .232 attack percentage in her first two seasons, the Tigers' best two-year attack percentage since 2004-05, when Hunter led the team to a .292 clip over those two seasons.
Henning Makes History Too
Junior outside hitter Lisa Henning has been a huge asset for the Tigers in her first two seasons in black and gold as well. In fact, since the rally scoring era began (2001), no Tiger has compiled more kills in her first two seasons (four-year players) than Henning as she has posted 789 heading into the season. The next-best Tiger on the list is Jessica Vander Kooi, who tallied 678 in 2003 and 2004. Henning currently leads the team with 57 kills this season, pushing her total to 846 over her two-plus seasons. Vander Kooi holds the record for kills in a Tigers' first three seasons with 1,040. Henning needs just 194 kills to pass that mark, so that is a stat to keep an eye on this season.
Top First Two-Year Kill Totals (four-year players)
Henning - 789, 846 including her third season
Vander Kooi - 678 in first two seasons, 1040 in first three
Na Yang - 602 in first two seasons, 953 in first three
With 43 wins through their first two seasons, the Mizzou junior class has the chance to become the winningest class in program history with almost two full seasons remaining. If you discount the years from 1974-1981 when a volleyball season featured close to 60 matches (as opposed to today's schedule which features closer to 35 matches per season), the Tiger junior class has a chance to become the winningest four-year class in program history. With three wins last weekend, the class now has 46 wins in two-plus seasons. Below is a look at the winningest four-year stretches in program history (modern scheduling era).
Winningest Four-Year Stretches
2002-05 - 90 wins
2002-04 - 89 wins
1982-85 - 84 wins
Mizzou Junior Class (Kreklow, Henning) - 46 wins
Following the weekend, Mizzou middle hitter Whitney Little leads the Tigers and the SEC in hitting at .544 as she finished second on the team with 36 kills over the four matches last week. Little's 36 kills are also the second-most among the league's top 10 hitters last week, trailing only Florida's Chole Mann, who had 42 kills on .452 hitting.
Mizzou Posts Fifth-Best Attack Percentage in Program History
As a team, Mizzou hit .477 in its sweep of Nicholls State last weekend, marking the fifth-best attack percentage by a Tiger team in the rally scoring era. The .477 clip is the best by a Tiger team since Dec. 3, 2005, when Mizzou defeated Arkansas in the NCAA Tournament.
Kreklow Improves Hitting
Heading into the season, junior setter Molly Kreklow was more known for her ability to run an offense, but it has been her offensive production that has caught the eye of many following the first weekend of play. In addition to guiding the team to a .332 attack percentage in the first weekend, Kreklow also proved to be a formidable attacker, posting 15 kills on just 22 attacks without an error, good for a .682 clip. While her main role will be to set up the Tiger offense, her improved attacking is reason for opponents to worry. She entered the season as just a .179 career attacker, so her .682 clip is a vast improvement. Also, last year, she tallied just 86 kills in 34 matches (2.5 per match) while she has 15 through four matches (3.75 per match) this season.
Hayes With Double-Digit Digs in Four Straight
The libero position was one of the biggest question marks for the Tigers heading into the 2012 season as they needed to replace the production of four-year starter and last year's libero Priscilla Armendariz. But following last weekend, sophomore Jade Hayes appears to have given the coaching staff plenty of reason for optimism moving forward. She pulled in double-digit dig totals in all four matches last weekend, including a career-best 17 in the Tigers' four-set win over Virginia Tech. She currently leads the team with 53 digs (4.08 per set) this season and has converted 93-percent of her service receptions.
Hartsel Sees Increased Playing Time
Sophomore middle hitter Melissa Hartsel saw limited playing time in her first year as a Tiger in 2011, but it looks like she will play a much bigger role on this year's team. She started all four matches last weekend and finished the weekend with seven kills, seven blocks and a .385 hitting percentage. She will likely split time with newcomer Lydia Ely at the second middle hitter position behind Whitney Little all season long.
A Look at the Freshman Class' Impact
After the first weekend, the Mizzou freshman class got some playing time. Freshman middle hitter Lydia Ely played in eight sets while classmate Regan Peltier played in four sets. Below ate the stats for the Tiger freshmen.
Lydia Ely - 8 sets, 7 kills, .357 hitting, four blocks
Regan Peltier - 4 sets, 3 kills, 1 digs, 1 block
The Mizzou volleyball program may be new to the Southeastern Conference, but it has already earned the respect of its peers as the Tigers placed two student-athletes on the Preseason All-SEC Team, which was released on Aug. 7. Juniors Lisa Henning and Molly Kreklow were named to the nine-person All-SEC Preseason Team. Mizzou joined Kentucky and league-favorite Tennessee as the only teams to place two players on the All-SEC Preseason Team. Henning is fifth among active SEC players with 789 kills in her career.
Kreklows Participate in USA Volleyball A-2 Program Over the Summer
Junior Molly Kreklow and Mizzou head coach Wayne Kreklow spent 10 days during the summer in Columbus, Ohio, for the USA Volleyball A-2 Program - Molly as a player and Wayne as a coach, albeit of different teams. Wayne coached the Blue Team to a perfect 3-0 record in pool play, but his team lost a semifinal matchup, dropping it to the third-place match, which it won, 3-2 (25-20, 22-25, 25-18, 23-25, 15-11) over Molly's Red Team.
Little, O'Brien Play Together in Italy, Croatia
Sophomores Whitney Little and Katie O'Brien played with the USA Development/Bring-It Promotions tour in Italy and Croatia this summer. The Tiger duo played with some of the nation's most talented underclassmen over the week-long tour and their team played in the European Global Challenge. It marks the third straight season that Mizzou has had a student-athlete play in the program. Former Tiger Julianna Klein played in Brazil prior to the 2010 season while current Tiger junior Lisa Henning played in China prior to the 2011 season.
Scouting Houston
Houston comes into the Lipscomb Invitational with an 0-3 mark, but the Cougars played a very tough tournament field last weekend at Ohio State. In fact the Cougars were swept by Ohio State and Oregon - both of which reside in the top 25 - before falling to Toledo in a tough five-setter. Senior Katie Norris leads the team with 39 kills on just .160 hitting while Chandace Tyron has pitched in 31 kills on .318 hitting from the middle hitter spot.
Series Information
Mizzou is 3-0 all-time against Houston. The last meeting between the two teams came in 2007 when the Tigers claimed a 3-1 win over the Cougars in San Marcos, Texas. Prior to that, the last meeting between the two was in 1985 and before that in 1983.
Scouting Lipscomb
Lipscomb went 0-3 last week, but played in a very competitive tournament field in Kentucky. The first match for Lipscomb was a 3-0 sweep at the hands of Long Beach State and then, Lipscomb took nationally-ranked Kentucky to five sets on its home floor, but fell in the fifth, 15-10. North Carolina then handed Lipscomb its third loss of the tournament. Lauren Ford and Kaycee Green lead the team with 32 and 27 kills, respectively. Lipscomb hit just .084 in the first weekend of play at Kentucky. Conversely, Lipscomb allowed opponents to hit .247 against it last weekend as it struggled with the block, averaging less than one per set at .082 per frame. Mizzou and Lipscomb have never met.
Scouting Appalachian State
Last weekend, Appalachian State struggled in losses to Minnesota, Seton Hall and James Madison. The Mountaineers won just one set last weekend, coming in a 27-25 triumph against Seton Halll in the third. The Mountaineers were limited to just .051 hitting last weekend and averaged just 8.30 kills per set. However, the strength of the team appears to be the back row, which averaged 16.80 digs per set last weekend. Mizzou and Appalachian State have never met.
Henning First Tiger to Lead Big 12 in Kills Per Set, Points Per Set
Sophomore Lisa Henning was a unanimous selection to the All-Big 12 First Team last season and an AVCA All-American Third Team selection, becoming the first Tiger underclassman to be named to the All-America teams. Henning led the Big 12 in kills per set (4.65) and points per set (5.16) in league play, becoming the first Tiger to ever accomplish such a feat. She also posted the Big 12's top four point performances in league play and the top two kills performances. She gives Mizzou a pair of unanimous All-Big 12 picks in the last two years after Paola Ampudia earned a spot on the 2010 team.
Tigers Land Heralded Recruit Taylor Simpson
The Tigers landed a huge commit in the offseason as sophomore Taylor Simpson transferred to Mizzou. Most recently, Simpson played at the University of Nebraska but had transferred to Florida State this summer before committing to Mizzou. She is eligible to play immediately in 2012 and will give the Tigers another solid hitter at the net. She was rated the No. 9 recruit nationally by PrepVolleyball.com before committing to Nebraska in 2010. She is the highest-ranked recruit in program history.
Connection for Hayes and Simpson
Although Taylor Simpson will have to adapt to playing with a new team this season, the transition will be made a little bit easier thanks to a former teammate that is on the Tiger roster. Defensive specialist Jade Hayes played with Simpson on the USAVB Youth Olympic Team in 2010. The duo led Team USA to a Silver Medal in Singapore.
Seeing 20-20
Mizzou has eclipsed the 20-win mark in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 2004 and 2005. In 2010, Mizzou won 22 matches en-route to the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 and last year the Tigers had 21 wins, showing the stability of the program under the direction of Wayne and Susan Kreklow.
Tigers Coming off of Second-Consecutive NCAA Tournament and 10th in 12 Seasons
The Tigers finished last season in somewhat of an improbable spot despite having nine underclassmen on a roster of 11, including seven freshmen. But that didn't stop the talented bunch from qualifying for the NCAA Tournament, marking the second straight appearance and the 10th time in the last 12 seasons, all coming under Wayne and Susan Kreklow.
An Experienced Youthful Group
It is a well known fact that Mizzou was the youngest team (% of underclassmen) to qualify for the NCAA Tournament last season, but heading into 2012, the Tigers boast a roster that is comprised of 10 underclassmen and two juniors, making them the youngest team in the SEC. In fact, Mizzou's roster is 83-percent underclassmen and it is the only SEC roster that does not have a senior. Mississippi State is the next-youngest team in the league as it is comprised of 76.9-percent underclassmen. What is impressive about the Tigers' youth is that they are a very experienced group as well as seven of the 10 underclassmen are sophomores and helped guide Mizzou to the NCAA Tournament as freshmen last year.
Kreklow Nets Win No. 400
Mizzou head coach Wayne Kreklow earned his 400th victory as a head coach in the Tigers' win over Baylor on Nov. 5 last season. Of his now 401 wins, 134 have come during his time as head coach at Mizzou. He was won nearly 63-percent of his matches at Mizzou.
Kreklows Win No. 750
Mizzou's win at Kansas on Nov. 2 last season marked the 750th career win for Wayne and Susan Kreklow as a pair. The win total dates back to their time as co-head coaches of the men's and women's teams at Columbia College. Of the now 752 wins, 243 of those have come during the Kreklow's 12 seasons at Mizzou.
Henning Breaks School Record
Staying on the topic of Lisa Henning, she broke the school record with 523 kills last season and became just the third Tiger in program history to eclipse the 500-kill mark in a single season. What is even more remarkable about Henning is that she had almost 400 attacks than the next-best Tiger last year but still hit .246 on the season.
Kreklow Keeps Digging
Sophomore setter Molly Kreklow broke the Mizzou single season record for digs by a setter in the rally scoring era with her 307 last season. Lei Wang-Francisco held the previous mark with 284 in 2007. The all-time record for digs by a setter in a single season is 334 by Gwen Mullens in 1994, but that was pre-rally scoring.
Wilson Nets 300 Kills
Freshman outside hitter Emily Wilson had 320 kills last season and is the first Tiger freshman since 2006 to break the 300-kill mark in a single season. Her 320 kills this season are the fourth most ever by a Tiger freshman and the second-best total in the rally scoring era. Yvette Buhlig holds the freshman record with 361 back in 1988 while Weiwen Wang (343, 2007) is the only freshman to rank ahead of Wilson during the rally scoring era. She was an All-Big 12 Freshman Team selection in 2011.
Big Crowds at Home
Mizzou finished the regular season ranked 13th in average home attendance at 2,298 fans per match. That mark also ranked the Tigers second in the Big 12 behind only league champion Texas. In all, 25,279 fans attended Tiger home matches, helping the Tigers to a 10-3 mark inside the Hearnes Center this season.
Program Highlights
The Tigers just completed the most successful decade in program history last year. In fact, Mizzou has averaged 22 wins per season since 2000 and is one of just 22 teams nationally to qualify for 10 NCAA Tournaments since 2000. The Tigers were on that average last year with 21 wins and a berth to the NCAA Tournament.
A Look at the Tiger Freshmen
Aside from newcomer transfer Taylor Simpson, Mizzou will have two more fresh faces on the court this season as freshmen Lydia Ely and Regan Peltier join the team in 2012. Ely, listed at 6-6, is the tallest player to ever compete for Mizzou and was the No. 4 recruit in the state of Missouri. Peltier was a second team AVCA/Under Armour High School All-American last season and is a versatile athlete that can play nearly everywhere on the floor. Both should make an immediate impact this season with the Tigers. Ely posted four kills and three blocks in three sets for the Black Team at the Black & Gold Scrimmage while Peltier had four kills on 15 swings with two digs for the Black Team.
Brimmage Returns as Volunteer Assistant Coach
After a very successful career as a middle hitter at Mizzou, Brittney Brimmage returns to Mizzou to be a volunteer assistant coach with the team in 2012. She will primarily serve as a practice player on the Tiger scout team, giving the Tigers a great middle hitter to compete against in practice every day. Brimmage was a preseason All-Big 12 pick and was twice recognized as a member of the COBRA Magazine All-National Team, recognizing the top African-American players in the nation.
Tigers On Television
The Mizzou volleyball program will be televised nationally four times, including a program-high three times on ESPNU this season. In all, the Tigers have five scheduled televised matches that will be seen throughout the state of Missouri this season. Below are the television dates for the Tigers.
Sept. 12 vs. Tennessee - ESPNU
Oct. 14 vs. Mississippi State - ESPNU
Oct. 19 at Ole Miss - SportSouth
Oct. 24 - at Georgia - ESPNU
Nov. 2 - vs. South Carolina - Mizzou Sports Network
If you can't be at the Tigers' matches this season, you can still catch all of the action at MUTigers.com as all of the matches will be streamed with audio and home matches will have video and audio. Jim Grundy will be in his first year as the team's play-by-play announcer. All broadcasts can be accessed at MUTigers.tv.
Up Next
Mizzou will be back in action next weekend as it heads to another nonconference tournament in SEC country at Morehead State. At that tournament, Mizzou will play against Valparaiso, South Carolina State, Savannah State and host Morehead State, which the Tigers played at Michigan back in the 2009 season.

Chris Weidman is undefeated in nine professional fights, five of them in the UFC.
He has been to decision four times and finished the other five fights inside the distance, four of those being UFC fighters. Earlier this month he demolished Mark Munoz and that, combined with his preceding win over Demian Maia, means his star is currently shining very brightly indeed.
Less than two years ago, Weidman was living in the basement of his parents New Jersey house. Now he is very possibly the next challenger to middleweight champion Anderson Silva. And Weidman says if he gets the shot, he is looking to put The Spider away just as he did Munoz.
FO: You're a very popular man at the moment it seems! Have you noticed an increase in attention since the last fight?
Yeah definitely. I think that, I'm trying to get that title shot and I think there are a lot of people behind me, including in the media. So far I haven't had a day where I haven't had a film crew on me or doing a phone interview. I love it man I am trying to have the best time with it and make the most of it. I've earned it.
FO: Why do you think people are getting behind you for this title shot, and what do you attribute your new-found popularity to?
I think the knockout over Munoz. He was ranked number three in the world and I was able to finish him in the second round. I don't think anyone has made him look like that before so, that, plus I am on a five-fight win streak in the UFC with two top-five guys in a row. I guess after that you start getting some people realising what you are doing.
FO: One thing I like is that you look as if you're going in there to finish the fight every time, you're not looking to point-fight and play safe…
I'm very offense-minded no matter what I'm doing. I take risks in every right I've ever had, especially when I've had a full training camp. When you don't have a full camp you don't trust your cardio as much, you don't go for things because its like 'what if I miss it and I get tired' kind of thing. But when I have a full training camp I just go for things, like in the Munoz fight you can see I go from one submission to the other. I could have just stayed on one submission and really focused on that but I wasn't afraid to let go and go for something else. I was having fun out there.
I like to be offensive not defensive. When these guys try to squeak out wins that's how you end up losing, and then you want to kill yourself because you really didn't go out there and do your best you know? If I lose because I was too offensive I am not going to lose too much sleep over it; it just means the guy was better than me on the day and that's what happens. I am always going to go after my guys and go for the finish. That's just how I fight. Its almost natural, I gotta keep moving and keep going.
FO: I guess you've seen all this critique on the websites and the messageboards recently regarding fighters being too 'strategic' and playing it safe?
I see it, I know what you mean… but that's always gonna happen. You had that back in the day where a guy would hit the takedown and lie on him for ten minutes because there were no time limits or whatever. It could be really bad back then. Now, guys who get taken down need to learn how to get up and guys how to get the takedown need to learn how to pass guard, don't just stay in the guard. They gotta keep moving and if no one is doing anything then the referee needs to stand them back up.
Like that fight, the heavyweights at the weekend, Cheick Kong and Shawn Jordan. The referee needs to make guys fight a little bit, he needs to be educated on when guys are working and not working. But if guys are training hard at the gym they are gonna fight the way they train. Maybe a lot of these guys aren't practicing to finish guys. When I am in the gym I am working on being offensive the whole time and looking for ways to finish the fight because I know that is exactly how I will end up fighting when I get in that cage.
FO: Is it possible that there's too much pressure not to lose for some of them? Guys worrying about their contracts and so on…
Yeah I definitely think guys are thinking that way and its the wrong way to think. You are never going to perform your best when you are thinking that way. I took a lot of fights so far on short notice and maybe it wasn't the smartest thing to do but, you only live once man, you don't want to have regrets. And if I never took those chances I wouldn't be in this position now and I would be regretting it like, 'what if I had taken those fights?'
All you have control over is working hard in the gym and then working as hard as you can in the cage. Win or lose, its whatever. As long as you are in that cage you work as hard as you can and you don't let yourself get beat by yourself before you get in the cage, then you have nothing to feel bad about - whether you win or lose.
If you start to worry about money and this and that, you're going to go out there feeling like crap. All I focus on is working hard. I go out there in that Octagon and work as hard as I can and that comes from working as hard as I can in the gym.
FO: [laughing] So lets nail you down - you're saying now, on the record, that no matter who your next opponent is you're going to be going in there looking to stop him?
Oh yeah, without a doubt. I didn't I get to where I am at now just so I could slow down. I refuse to beat myself before I get in the Octagon. I have a psychology degree, I got a bachelor [of arts degree] in that, and I think it helps me.
I think I am mentally complete at this point - I know I am talented, I know I have potential, I know I have technique. Mentality at this stage is probably the most important thing. Every fight I've had I feel like is the biggest fight but now I have a chance to fight for the title, the approach will still be the same.
FO: Physical or mental, which is the most important side for the professional fighter such as yourself?
I think in high school physical strength is most important, up to the beginning of college. But once you get to the upper-echelon of talent then everyone is physically strong and everyone has talent so its up to the guy who is mentally strongest.
That takes time to achieve and I've learned so much, and I've gotten so mentally strong by learning how to win and learning how to lose [in college]. I learned reasons why I lost and that keeps me mentally strong because I understand it. I don't have too much pressure going into the Octagon because I know where I am at.
FO: Let's now change tack slightly and look at what your peers are up to, starting with the fight that was announced between Vitor Belfort and Alan Belcher…
I think Belfort has the edge in the first round and if it goes past that I think Belcher has the edge. So if Belcher is able to keep smart in the first round I think he eventually gets the W. But Belfort definitely is a dangerous opponent.
FO: Were you impressed by Belcher's performance against Rousimar Palhares in May?
Yeah I was actually there for that fight. You know, at this stage of the game you gotta be confident in every area. He took a risk - obviously Palhares' main area is on the ground but he felt he could compete with him there and prove a point, which he did and I give him a lot of credit for that.
FO: Is Palhares intimidating or is he a one-trick pony?
I think the one-trick pony in him is the intimidating part because you will spend the whole camp training to avoid getting heel-hooked, then if you get heel-hooked the thought of having spent your whole camp training to avoid that is a terrible feeling.
You know what he wants to do to you and if it happens even though you've tried to prevent it you're gonna want to kill yourself. So that's the intimidating thing about him.
FO: And Michael Bisping vs. Brian Stann at UFC 152, your thoughts on that fight?
Hmm. I think Stann is going to be looking for the knockout and I think Bisping is going to have to look to mix it up a little bit here, takedowns and footwork, not stand in his range. Potshot him a little bit. Its an interesting fight and I think either Stann knocks him out or Bisping wins the decision.
FO: Bisping - under-rated or over-rated?
I know he is good and talented and he has faced some good guys but every time he has faced a top ten guy he has lost. Like with the Chael Sonnen fight he did awesome and a lot of people thought he could have won but he didn't find the way to win.
And I am not knocking him - I think he's a great fighter, I really do - but I question his mentality against top guys when the pressure is on. Which is pretty much what everyone says about him. He has had chances to fight for the title twice now and he doesn't come through when the pressure is on.
FO: Million dollar question - who is next for you?
Hopefully Anderson Silva.
FO: Really?
Hmm… I'm pretty sure… you know… there's a good chance of it happening and… yeah.
FO: Is that why there was a camera crew with you today?
No, that was media. The UFC is trying to build me right now and I am PR'ing up but I'm not doing a Countdown show or anything. Right now we are waiting on a bunch of stuff. I am not gonna say its definite or not, we are waiting to find out.
I want him, I have said that, I think I deserve him - I beat two top five guys in a row, no one else has done that. No one else has really stopped a top ten contender either. Everyone I have fought has been tough guys like my first UFC fight was against (Alessio Sakara when he was on a three-fight win streak. He was in his prime and I took that fight with two and a half weeks notice, plus a broke rib, and beat him.
Then Tom Lawlor who is definitely a tough guy. Submitted him. Then Demian Maia - took that fight on ten days notice, cut 32 pounds and he was ranked fifth at the time. I was able to beat him. Then finally I had a full training camp and I was able to take out Munoz who was ranked third. The number one and two guys just fought and I was able to take out number three so its looking good!
Every time I have had a full training camp I have finished my opponent and I think the UFC likes that. And if I get the Anderson Silva fight, I am going for the finish.
FO: Speaking of the Munoz fight, just briefly run us through that finish. It was a great overhand elbow you dropped him with.
Well I've got the longer arms and the range advantage and so Munoz had to cover that distance to get to me. And every time he exploded forward I either hit him with the takedown, the cross or the hook. And then the elbow.
Also the footwork - he comes in, I move away. Then he comes in again, I hit him with the takedown or hit him with the elbow. So having the range helped me and he is an explosive guy, which I knew he wanted to use against me.
FO: Some people are saying you are the new Chael Sonnen… well, stylistically, not in PR terms obviously-
Ha! Obviously not! That guy is a genius.
FO: What did you think of his whole campaign leading up to the Anderson rematch. Did he cross the line with the comments about Brazil and Anderson's wife etc?
I honestly thought it was all in good fun and if you talk to the guy you know what he is doing. He put on a show and sold the fight and I am sure Anderson Silva didn't truly care. It sold the show and made him more money, got Brazil behind him and it worked out for him. It was the biggest fight of Anderson's career, the way Chael built up the fight, it was huge.
I know Chael is a good guy so… you know, if he was to retract it every time he said it, that would be worse, but he sticks with it consistently and so you can see its humour, when he first started talking about Brazil everyone thought he was the most disrespectful guy in the world, everybody hated him, but because he stayed consistent then people started falling in love with it and realising that was his humour. And I think its obvious he didn't really want to put Brazil down, it was building the fight and part of his humour.
FO: I know what you mean, but I also know some of the big-name Brazilians are definitely really pissed off about it.
Ha, I know, I understand where they are coming from. If I was them I don't know how I would feel. But I don't feel he was being serious so, he was just being Chael Sonnen. I wouldn't take it too seriously.
FO: Sticking with this Brazilian theme - Anderson's people say you're not a contender right now as you aren't known enough and you need more wins. Your response to that?
There is only so much avoiding you can do so if the UFC wants him to fight me it is going to happen. Anderson can sell PPV by himself, he is the greatest fighter of all time so it doesn't matter who he is fighting.
And they can definitely sell me - I am undefeated, every time I have a full camp I finish my opponent, I finished my last guy in a devastating fashion. Two top five guys in a row. I was living in my parents basement a year and half ago, its almost like the Rocky story that I now have the opportunity to fight for the title. The UFC can definitely make that an interesting story for people.
When I first got into MMA three years ago I would tell people what weight class I was in and people were like 'whoa, that's Anderson's weight class I hope you never meet him.' Basically looking at me like, 'you have no chance of being champion.' And in the back of my mind I was like, 'You're wrong!' But I would never say anything because they would think I was crazy.
And I was a big Anderson fan too, I thought he was awesome, but I wanted to be the guy to dethrone him, and this was three years ago before Anderson had any idea who I am. And now I am in that position to do what I wanted to do - dethrone the best of all time. And now people aren't laughing when I say that.
I think I am stylistic nightmare for him too and you can definitely build that up. I will give him serious trouble. I am not going in like some other guy just staged, to 'test myself'. I have been competing since I was young and I have made that mistake before, going in to see how I would do against somebody who I thought was good and then fighting out later in the match that 'wow, I can hang with him.'
I am done with that type of attitude. I am going in there to beat him. I know I belong in there, I have proved it. I am going in there to finish him. And not just Anderson - every single fight I've had I am in going in there to finish. I would say 90 per cent of the guys who got in there withy Anderson have been scared of him. I'm not.
FO: That's a great point to end our interview on! Thanks very much for the time and if you would like to give any shout-outs, the floor is yours…
Cool, thanks. I'd like to thank my sponsors Bad Boy and American Ethanol for all their support, plus my coaches, my manager and all my friends and family.
I'd also like to ask people to support me in this Edge Shaving Gel poll that's running on the Edge website right now. If I won that it would be absolutely huge for me so if anyone reading this would take twenty seconds out of their day to click on the link and vote for me I would really appreciate that!

I'm guessing Anderson's people don't and won't want any part of Weidman until their collective hands are forced by the UFC .. Chris Weidman is a stylistic nightmare for Anderson, Weidman can get the same positions Chael achieved but threaten Silva with submissions and ground and pound where Sonnen could only hold said positions.. I've been investing in combat fighting for almost 20 years and have seen few that can match Weidman's mind, body, and spirit.. I think people will be shocked when this fight is made and Vegas rolls out their opening number, I predict Anderson will be the smallest price of His championship reign.. I'll be going to this fight and will be betting Weidman with both hands at the window.. I'm a huge Chael Sonnen fan but Chris Weidman is what Chael wishes He was and could be, a finisher.. MFS

Son of My Father
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (March 2014)
|"Son of My Father"
|Single by Chicory Tip
|from the album Son of My Father
|7" single, 12" single
|Glam rock
|Giorgio Moroder, Pete Bellotte
"Son of My Father" is a song popularised in 1972 by Chicory Tip.
The song was originally written by Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte and recorded under the moniker Giorgio in 1971. A copy of Giorgio's version found its way to studio manager Roger Easterby who persuaded British band Chicory Tip to record it in English. The song produced by Easterby and Des Champ is notable as the first UK number one single to prominently feature a synthesizer, in this case a Moog synthesizer played by Chris Thomas. The song reached No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart for three weeks in February 1972.[1] Moroder's original version failed to chart in the UK, although it peaked at No. 34[2] on the US Cashbox pop charts and slightly lower on the Billboard Hot 100.
In the same year a German version, "Nachts Scheint Die Sonne" (In the Night Shines the Sun), was recorded with Michael Holm on vocals - this was a minor hit in Germany. The next year, Finnish musician Danny recorded a Finnish-language version, "Maantieltä taloon" (From the road to the house).
Since its release, the tune of the chorus of "Son of My Father" has been regularly used on the terraces of British football grounds.
In the 1970s and 1980s, the synthesizer solo from this song was used in the Polish public TV as an intro to sport magazines.
The song was used in Life on Mars series 2 in 2007.

Welcome to the era of calm. Brought to you by the people who brought you pilot Chessley "Sully" Sullenberger and President Barack Obama.
Sully was calm under pressure saving 154 lives when Flight 1549 made that emergency landing last month in the Hudson River. Obama remains cool under pressure to try and save livelihoods of working Americans. Granted, Obama's duty isn't the immediate task of saving lives, but it is — what he likes to quote Martin Luther King as saying — the urgency of now.
Obama has taken his show on the road, first in Indiana, and thenTuesday in Florida, where he told an enthusiastic crowd "Doing nothing is not an option. You didn't send me to Washington to do nothing."
While Obama's stimulus plan passed in the Senate, only 3 Republicans voted for it. The GOP is playing the Howard Beale character in "Network" thinking they are "articulating the popular rage." Never mind that it's the Rush Limbaugh-Fox News rage that wants to see anybody who isn't of their mindset fail. Like Beale in that movie people are saying "I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore." But as polls are indicating, they're saying that in reference to the status quo. To Reaganomics — The Gospel According to the Gipper.
It's the era of calm — and the GOP is making it out to be the calm before the storm. That may end up being the case, but taking the risk may turn out to be its own reward. Obama may be a little too upbeat for some peoples' taste, but he sure is hungry to get started. And he can still draw a crowd, deliver a potent speech and sell his case to the American people. At this early stage in his presidency, George W. Bush was on vacation clearing brush on his ranch in Texas.
The honeymoon is still on with Obama and the American people — and with the press, for the most part. With the GOP, the marriage was annuled the same day. Would you want to share a honeymoon suite with Orrin Hatch?
There is no shortage of confidence with President Obama. Leadership is called for — not a wait-and-see how Saint Ronnie's voodoo economics casts a spell over this recession from h-e-double hockey sticks.
Rush to judgment Limbaugh said soon after Obama was inaugurated that he hopes the president fails. Gov. Charlie Crist, a Republican from Florida, no Rushlican or Republimbaugh he, said "Obama's my guy now" when it comes to getting America back to work.
Now that's a patriot's act.
Here in California we're taking unpaid furloughs so we can help each other save our jobs. Granted, it's a forced furlough, but no one's going to argue that it's an attempt to keep us employed. Most of us remained calm when we got the news. Calm is in the air — as is confidence and being upbeat. Like The Beatles sang, "it can't get any worse." Actually it could, but we're taking it day by day. Those who thought they were above someone else — whether it be pay grade or management — are on equal footing. It's tough being expendible when you're dependable.
There's a calm guy in the White House who has had a string of good luck over the last year. Just the same, Obama may want to ditch his chief of staff Rahm Emanuel in the Hudson and keep Sully around. You could never have too much good luck.

So Yahoo bought Tumblr 1.1 billion dollars.
That's a lot of money for a site just recycles content from Reddit and Sex.com. I'm kidding of course. Tumblr is great. It's where porn GIFs come from…probably…
When the announcement was made that Tumblr had been sold to Yahoo, we thought for sure it meant an end to Tumblr's NSFW community and all the wonderful porn GIFs it had to offer.
Thankfully, Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer came out and said that Tumblr's porn content isn't going anywhere. "It's really important to have great community tools like 'NSFW' that Tumblr already has in place," Mayer said at a press event last night in New York City.
I wonder if Marissa Mayer has a porn Tumblr…She must at least look at a few to want to preserve them.
Anyways, let's celebrate the survival of porn Tumblrs by counting down the Top 10 Porn GIFs Found on Tumblr!

The latest press coverage on corruption, human rights abuses, violations of freedom of the press and socio-economic exclusion in Angola:
AIAC: When videos of abuses go viral in Angola
February 14, 2013: Less than two years ago, at the height of the Arab Spring, President dos Santos scathingly denounced social media and as a direct result the ruling party unsuccessfully tried to introduce a bill in parliament that would make it illegal to share videos, pictures, and recordings without the subjects consent.
As Louise Redvers reported for the BBC back in May 2011, "under the proposal ... anyone criticizing the government on social media sites such as Facebook ... could have faced up to 12 years of prison."
Huff Post: Book tying Angola generals to diamonds protected
February 13, 2013: Angola received a boost to its free speech from Portugal, which refused to allow Angolan generals to stop the publication of a book exposing corruption and human rights abuses in the southern African country's lucrative diamond mines.
The dismissal of the challenge, brought against Angolan writer Rafael Marques and his publisher over his book "Blood Diamonds: Corruption and Torture in Angola," represents a free-speech victory for a nation where the government has long been accused of corruption and mismanagement of oil and diamond riches.
While the challenge played out in Portugal, Angola's former colonial ruler, Marques said the court case could have bankrupted and effectively silenced him while frightening others investigating government corruption.

Even as the first sounds of new wave and punk rock were being heard in New York City in the mid-'70s, the first stirrings of indie-rock and guitar pop were occurring in the unlikely locale of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, where Chris Stamey, Will Rigby and Mitch Easter were recording arguably the first low-fi records ever in their band The Sneakers. Though heard by few, the reverberations from these recordings spread everywhere from New York - where Stamey and Rigby were to form the dB's - to Athens, Georgia, where a band named R.E.M. hooked up with Easter to record their first two albums - to just about every college radio station in the land during the '80s. Now, Stamey and Easter have gone back into the studio to produce the definitive look at this seminal power pop band, consisting of tracks from their 1976, Don Dixon-produced EP The Sneakers, their 1978 LP in the Red and their 1992 'reunion' record, Racket, plus three unreleased bonus tracks, all (except the debut EP) re-mastered and/or remixed for superior sound.

Rockets hand Jazz worst home loss, 125-80
"We should have been booing ourselves," said Jefferson, who had 10 points on 5-of-13 shooting.
Randy Foye led Utah with 12 points.
Utah trailed by 50 points before a driving layup by Alec Burks and 3-pointer by rookie Kevin Murphy in the final 20 seconds.
Utah's previous most-lopsided loss at home was by 33 points to Milwaukee on Nov. 18, 1980. It was the fifth worst overall for the franchise.
"I don't think this ruins us," said Gordon Hayward, who did not play because of a sprained shoulder.
Still, the Jazz hardly looked like the team that had won nine of their previous 12.
They had been undefeated at home in January — 6-0 — with their last loss in Salt Lake City coming Dec. 28 against the Los Angeles Clippers in which they blew a 21-point lead.
Unlike the Jazz, the Rockets weren't about to blow this one.
"I think this is something we definitely needed," said guard Jeremy Lin, who took only five shots Monday but made all five to finish with 12 points.
It was a special trip for Lin, who arrived in Salt Lake City early enough Sunday night to slip in for the last screening of the documentary "Linsanity" during the Sundance Film Festival.
The movie premiered about a year after Lin began catapulting to worldwide stardom in New York. He was an afterthought only a month before, cut by the Rockets on Christmas Day and claimed by the Knicks off waivers.
If his rise to fame was crazy, so was Monday's game.
"It's a testament to how the ball moved tonight and how everyone was looking for everybody. When you have a team play like that, play so unselfishly, it's a beautiful thing to watch," Lin said.
NOTES: Eighty-nine-year-old Wataru Misaka, the first player of Asian descent to play in the NBA, was at Monday's game to watch Lin warm up. Misaka, once discriminated against because of his Japanese ancestry, recalled writing Lin a note of encouragement "when he was with Oakland back in the dark days when things didn't look too good for him. He didn't have all these fans at this time but he's made a lot of progress since then and I think he's in a much better place now." Misaka, who lives in nearby Bountiful, is a former point guard who played for the New York Knicks in the 1947-48 season and led the University of Utah to the 1944 NCAA championship. "He broke a lot of barriers and racial stereotypes," Lin told the Houston Chronicle of Misaka. "You have to pay respect to the people who came before you." Lin is the first American-born NBA player of Chinese or Taiwanese descent.

SUPERSIZED SHOCKSThe first thing that catches your eye on the LST is the size of the massive blue-anodized shocks (shown here next to a standard, 1.10, stadium truck damper). When we spoke with Gil Losi Jr., he told us that it's considerably easier to make a larger shock work more efficiently and more effectively. During tests, the Losi engineers discovered that of all the shock/suspension-arm combinations they tried, the oversize shock was best able to handle the intense loads on the suspension that a 10- pound-plus vehicle will throw its way.
When you crack open one of these shocks, you find a large piston with an amazing 24 holes (instead of the two or three holes you'd see in a standard piston). In addition, the shocks have bleeder caps, long, 4mm-diameter shock shafts and dual O-ring seals. A locknut secures the shock piston to the shaft and, interestingly, the shock bodies can be filled from the top or the bottom. The big question is how much oil does it take to fill these suckers? According to Losi, you'll use approximately the same amount of fluid in 1 LST shock as you would to fill almost 3 standard shocks.
WHAT'S INSIDECLUTCH BELL/SPUR GEAR 18T/70T (1st gear); 25T/63T (2nd) TRANSMISSION RATIOS 13.8:1 (low); 6.91:1 (high)FINAL DRIVE RATIOS LOW 53.5:1 (1st)/34.78:1 (2nd)HIGH 26.8:1 (1st)/17.41:1 (2nd)
One of Team Losi's original goals with the LST was to design a transmission that would allow drivers to rock-crawl in a very low gear and then be able to switch to a higher gear when it was time to hit the racetrack. It also had to be compact and bulletproof. Generally speaking, transmissions with all these features have a history of causing designers plenty of headaches. The view shown here gives you a clear look inside the tranny case. To switch from the superlow gearing to the higher gear, just turn the "Hi/Low Mechanism" knob at the top of the tranny. Once switched, the 2-speed transmission is either engaged in a superlow final gear (53.5:1 in first gear, 34.78:1 in second) or high gear (26.8:1/17.41:1). During our tests, we heard a little spur-gear/clutch-bell clatter, but that is to be expected. Not once did the tranny glitch on us; so far, it seems very solid.
The LST's drivetrain is so unique that we have to look at each component separately. It's built from the ground up for monster abuse. See for yourself.
HIGH/LOW GEAR SELECTABLE TRANNY. The tranny is a highly engineered unit with a high- and lowrange gear set. The transmission uses a combination of machined-steel and hard-anodized-aluminum gears—no plastic gears. Everything down to the shifting forks is made of heavy-duty materials. The lowrange gears give the truck the ability to easily climb and crawl over obstacles; it's truly impressive to see this beast rock-crawl. The high-range gears get the truck moving at a good clip, but there isn't any sacrifice when it comes to low-end snap. Even in high gear, the truck still wheelies off the line. The only bummer is that the high/low settings cannot be accessed on the fly via the radio. To select high and low, you must turn the selector knob on the tranny. It's easy; but you do have to stop the truck and lift the body to the side to access the knob.
A clutch-type 2-speed is mated to a unique, adjustable high/low transmission. To switch between high and low, simply turn the shifting knob on top of the transmission.
RADIO-OPERATED REVERSE GEAR. It's amazing that Losi was able to engineer a reverse system into such a compact transmission design. A separate servo and your radio's third channel operate reverse on a constant-engagement tranny. Simply wait until the truck has fully stopped, flip the third-channel switch on the radio and back up. The transition from forward to reverse is very smooth; we didn't notice any clunky action.
CLUTCH-TYPE 2-SPEED. A standard-issue, clutchtype 2-speed sits at the end of the transmission shaft, and it's easy to get to after you've removed its protective shroud. It's adjusted just like any average 2-speed: two setscrews allow you to adjust the shift point. The back of the assembly is exposed, so if you run in really loose dirt with a ton of small rocks, keep an eye on the plastic spur gears. Team Losi has recognized the potential for dirt to get into the works and will soon offer a protective rear cover.
ADJUSTABLE SLIPPER CLUTCH. A big truck like this needs a beefy slipper, and the LST doesn't disappoint. A combination of three pads and two discs rests inside a very compact slipper cage. With three pads instead of only one (or even two), the slipper can better absorb punishment and keep going. Removing a rubber plug on the outside of the 2-speed shroud gives you quick access to the slipper-clutch nut.
SEALED DIFFERENTIALS. The LST comes with sealed bevel-gear differentials in the front and rear. The gears are heavy-duty, CNC-machined steel; you won't find cast-pot metal gears in this truck's drivetrain. The diffs come packed with grease from the factory. That is fine for bashing around, but if you plan to race the truck, you can fine-tune them with heavier or lighter silicone fluid.
REBUILDABLE DRIVESHAFTS. Heavy-duty, chromeplated, rebuildable universal driveshafts connect the tranny to the front and rear bevel-gear diffs. Similar units are used between the diffs and wheels. DUAL-DISC BRAKE. Mounted on the front of the tranny, a dual-disc brake unit with drilled steel rotors and padded steel calipers provides ridiculous braking power. There's nothing especially new about the brake's construction; Losi just got it right! The truck stops on a dime.
RUBBER-SEALED BALL BEARINGS. Monster trucks live in the dirt, which tends to eat bearings. All monsters should have rubber-sealed bearings because they are the only type that is truly sealed.

VIDEO: Windows Phone 7 ad highlights Xbox LIVE features
One of the things that we at Pocket-lint were most excited about in the build up to the Windows Phone 7 launch was the Xbox LIVE hub.
We thought that this feature was a critical USP of the platform. But since Microsoft's mobile OS saviour (?) went live, there hasn't really been all that much fuss made of the gaming aspects.
There's been a couple of interesting tit-bits, like EA announcing its WP7 games line-up and the Crackdown 2 DLC integration, but nothing that really makes the platform stand out in the way that it could.
We've spoken to some of the top bods at Microsoft though, who have assured us that big things are coming in the future, in terms of the Windows Phone 7 Xbox LIVE, and we're hoping that Microsoft putting out this game-angled promo might be an indication that better things are soon to arrive.
Let's hope so, because with Kinect selling faster than hot cakes outside a Weight Watchers meeting, the possibilities for Microsoft to get all of its new kit interacting with one another is an exciting prospect.

A sounding rocket carrying two NASA experiments was destroyed 27 seconds into launch on Friday. The failure is another setback for NASA's aeronautics programme, which has suffered from years of declining budgets.
Safety officers were forced to destroy the rocket, developed by Alliant Techsystems Inc (ATK), when it veered off course after an early-morning launch from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. It is not yet clear why the rocket strayed off course.
The rocket was set to run a challenging suborbital trajectory - reaching an altitude of 370 kilometres - that would allow NASA to test an experiment called the Hypersonic Boundary Layer Transition. HyBoLT was designed to measure air flow and heat while flying faster than the speed of sound. Pushing the technological boundaries of hypersonic flight could one day allow round-the-world trips to take just a few hours.
After launch, HyBoLT was to be dropped into the Atlantic Ocean. A second experimental package, called SOAREX, was then supposed to be deployed. SOAREX contained three probes, including SCRAMP, a new cylindrical spacecraft shape (pictured) that, like a falling badminton birdie, automatically orients itself for re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere.
One-of-a-kind experiments
Neither of these experiments has back-ups, said Juan Alonso, director of NASA's fundamental aeronautics programme. "These are one-of-a-kind payloads," Alonso told reporters at a press conference on Friday. "We knew the risks of launching payloads on a first-of-a-kind rocket, and we acknowledged those from the beginning of the development of these payloads."
The total cost to the agency of both experiments was $17 million, Alonso said. That comprises 3% of the agency's aeronautics research budget, which was $509 million this year. Aeronautics funding has declined steeply in recent years - in 1994, for example, the budget stood at $1.85 billion (in 2006 dollars).
The ALV X-1 rocket was the first foray into launch vehicles for ATK, which also makes the motors for the space shuttle's solid rocket boosters. The company is still investigating what caused the failure. "I would call it a very big disappointment, but not a setback," said Kent Rominger, a vice president at ATK.
The loss of the payloads on Friday is the second the agency has suffered in the last month. On 2 August, NASA lost another pair of experiments - a solar sail and a microgravity biology test - when a SpaceX Falcon 1 rocket failed minutes into flight. Those experiments cost an estimated $2.3 million.
Also on board the Falcon 1 was Trailblazer, a $3.5 million Pentagon-supported satellite.

'The Walking Dead': Getting to know Daryl DixonAdd to Favorites | The Walking Dead
Norman Reedus promised us we'd learn more about Daryl Dixon, the character he plays on AMC's "The Walking Dead," during the show's second season. Based on this sneak peek clip, he's ready to dish about his childhood. We're thinking the whole using "Poison Oak as toilet paper" thing was a little TMI, but we do learn that Daryl himself, like Sophia, once got lost in the Georgia woods as a child.
In the clip, he tells Andrea ( Laurie Holden) about his 9-day ordeal and how he survived despite the lack of a search party or even any concern from his drunk father or uber-redneck older brother, Merle.
We're not quite sure why Daryl and Andrea would be wandering through the woods at night, casually trading stories since there are, you know, zombies in these here parts. But, the joke's on them, because at the end of the clip they do come face-to-face with a walker. Sort of.
Season 2, episode 3 -- "Save the Last One" -- airs Sunday, Oct. 30, at 9 p.m. ET on AMC.

the lake is deep enough
I thought you might enjoy this sewing related poem. It comes from Worth by Robyn Schiff. Many of the poems in this collection are inspired by the great couture houses (such as House of Worth as noted in the book's title) and her language is a luscious and exquisite as the garments she draws inspiration from.
House of Dior
Robyn Schiff
Now we are on the chapter of pleats.
The impatience to fold, the joys of having folded,
the pleasures of folding them again.
Fabric enough in the sleeve to drape the dress,
in the skirt to drape a chest of drawers,
in the dress to drape the view of trees blacked-out
along the walk from here to the next
house. Walking in the dark inside the house
this is the black we black the windows with.
I have hung the last square of cloth.
Good-bye porch. Good-bye midnight postman
with your sack of envelopes. My love sings
to himself. Each pleat steps into the seam
with a pin in its mouth. Crease upon crease,
a fan on which an embroidered rowboat sits
at the far edge of a lake. The lake is deep enough.

Last week's strike authorization vote does not mean a work stoppage at Southern California grocery stores is imminent, a union leader said.
"We go back into negotiations tomorrow," said Connie Leyva, president of Union of Food and Commercial Workers Local 1428.
Talks are expected to continue through through this week and the next two weeks, added Leyva, who said she was hopeful a strike could be averted.
UFCW Local 1428 represents grocery workers in the Pomona and Claremont areas. Union members throughout Southern California voted last Thursday to authorize a strike if negotiations with Albertsons, Ralphs and Vons fail to produce a new collective bargaining agreement.
The union is in separate negotiations with Stater Bros. Markets, which is based in San Bernardino.
The UFCW's Southern California locals last went on strike against Albertsons, Ralphs and Vons in 2003-04. The unions and grocers experienced a prolonged negotiations process in 2007, but succeeded in avoiding a work stoppage.
