FC Edmonton not only got a thrilling win in the most compelling game played in either MLS or NASL this weekend, but the Eddies are putting some distance between themselves and the rest of the pack when it comes to playing Canadians.
At least, that's out of North America's top two divisions, which, unlike third-division USL, treat Canadians as foreign players on the rosters of the U.S.-based teams.
The Eddies, on average, give 287 minutes per game of playing time to Canadians, more than 50-minutes-per-game better than the next best squad, the Ottawa Fury. The Atlanta Silverbacks, with regular starting jobs for Kyle Porter and Dominic Oppong, take up the third spot.
We don't get an MLS team till No. 4 — Toronto FC. The Whitecaps round out the Top 5.

Shanley High School sends two debate teams to nationals
Sebastian and Thomas Startz, who will be seniors this fall, and Hannah Keogh and Eliana Goehring, who will be juniors, leave today for the National Forensic League National Speech and Debate Tournament in Birmingham, Ala.
The teams will face off in public forum debate with about 250 other teams from across the nation, coach Robert Littlefield said Wednesday.
This year's topic is straight out of the headlines – "Resolved: The benefits of American drone strikes against foreign targets outweigh the harms."
In advance of the tourney, the teams have practiced against each other and studied and revised their arguments over several hours each day since school got out, the debaters said.
They have also sparred with debaters from South Dakota, Littlefield said.
"They've really grown a lot this year," Littlefield said. "All four are very smart. They're sincere. They're unassuming in many ways. They know what they have to do."
Public forum debate is more audience-focused than other styles of debate, with participants mixing persuasive speaking techniques with their research and logic.
The debaters have to prepare to argue both the pros and the cons of the issue. A coin flip at the start of the debate lets the winner decide either what they want to argue, or whether they want to speak first or last.
The format not only has the debaters present their arguments, it includes "crossfire" sessions, where two debaters trade direct questions, and a grand crossfire, in which all four debaters probe for weaknesses in their opponents' stances.
The Startz brothers were also part of the Shanley squad that won the 12th annual International Public Policy Forum debate competition in New York in April.
Sebastian Startz welcomes the challenge and change of pace in this national competition.
"I look forward to meeting new people, debating kids outside of the region," he said. "It opens up a new view of debate. Everyone does it differently."
The national forensics tourney runs Sunday through June 21, with the initial rounds of debate held all day Monday and Tuesday morning. The top 60 teams continue with elimination rounds, Littlefield said.
Chase Johnson, who just graduated from Shanley, will also be at the tournament, competing in the United States extemporaneous speaking category, Littlefield said.
Readers can reach Forum reporter Helmut Schmidt at (701) 241-5583

Allies: The Good War?
By JAMES TRAUB
Published: January 11, 2004
William Shawcross, who made his journalistic reputation as the scourge of Henry Kissinger (in ''Sideshow''), and later anatomized the failures of international aid and of humanitarian intervention (in ''The Quality of Mercy'' and ''Deliver Us From Evil'') -- that William Shawcross -- has written a polemic ardently endorsing the war in Iraq. And that's not all. Shawcross also argues for the Bush administration's aggressive use of the doctrine of pre-emption, Donald Rumsfeld's distinction between old and new Europe, the neoconservative case for regime change, the perfidy of the French, the indispensability of the Americans and much else to gladden hearts in Washington. What's going on here?
Before addressing that all-important question, it needs to be said that Shawcross is a much better journalist than he is a polemicist. Some of his books, like ''Deliver Us From Evil,'' contain very little argument at all, though they nevertheless make for gripping, or at least intermittently gripping, reading. ''Allies'' is, alas, very close to journalism-free; Shawcross seems to have tapped it out almost without leaving his study. This is a bantamweight book that is passionately, but not always closely, argued. Yet it is an important book -- not so much because of what Shawcross has written as for the fact that he has written it.
The English press has subjected Shawcross's apparent rightward turn to searching psychological and cultural analysis (finally inheriting the family estate; marrying a ''socialite heiress''; cozying up to the royal family; re-enacting his father's own political pattern, etc.). Since ''Allies'' is silent on this subject, it's more instructive to consider the possibility that Shawcross has remained true to his principles, but that a morally driven foreign policy looks very different after 9/11 than it did before.
Shawcross is scarcely the only liberal or leftist to see the war in Iraq as the consummation, rather than the contradiction, of his principles. Christopher Hitchens is the best-known example; others include Paul Berman, Bernard Kouchner and Andre Glucksmann. These few brave souls have been pilloried by their coreligionists, who are inclined to view the United States as a greater threat to world peace than Iraq. Shawcross must have caught a lot of this himself, for he takes up the cudgel against the ''hate-America-first'' crowd, so busy loathing President Bush that they can spare ''not a word about what the Iraqi people had suffered for decades.''
It is impossible to make sense of the left case for war in Iraq without considering the history of the last half century. From the 1950's through the 80's, the West deployed military force to roll back Communism -- a threat the left considered wildly exaggerated, and often a flimsy pretext for self-aggrandizement. Then the Communist threat abruptly vanished. In the 90's, force was used or, more often, not used, in the face of humanitarian catastrophe, in Rwanda, Bosnia, Kosovo, East Timor and elsewhere. This scrambled the old ideological alignments, dividing both left and right. The antiwar left and realpolitik right opposed these ''CNN wars,'' while the Wilsonian moralists of left and right championed them.
In ''Deliver Us From Evil,'' Shawcross indicted the great powers for failing to act in the face of mass brutalization -- in Iraq, as well as in Africa and the Balkans -- and for making it impossible for the United Nations to do so. At the time, many neoconservatives were making the same argument, minus the part about the United Nations. Indeed, in ''Allies,'' Shawcross notes that while the neocons are considered ''radical'' for their insistence that evil regimes have sacrificed their absolute right to sovereignty, these arguments ''sound close to mainstream liberal internationalist thought.''
The attack on the World Trade Center upended the doctrinal order yet again. In the era of weapons of mass destruction, monstrous dictators, especially monstrous dictators in the Middle East, had become a threat to the West as well as to their own beleaguered people, so that humanitarian crises now had a strong national security element. This was the case for regime change in Iraq advanced by figures like Paul Wolfowitz; and it is Shawcross's as well. Though he appears to believe that Saddam Hussein's barbarity alone would justify intervention on humanitarian grounds, he also argues that Hussein's fascist state posed the same order of threat that Hitler's once did. The failure of much of continental Europe to support the war in Iraq, he insists, ''showed that it was still capable of failing the test that it flunked'' in the 1930's. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, M. de Villepin!
Shawcross virtually cribs from the work of the foreign policy analyst Robert Kagan, when he notes that since Europeans can never match the military power of the United States, they ''are more and more intent on emphasizing the vital importance of international structures, even those that give equal weight to those who abuse their precepts.'' The tangled syntax of that last clause may reflect Shawcross's own confusion, since he appears still to be a staunch supporter of that pre-eminent of all international structures, the United Nations. Indeed, Shawcross takes the truly counterintuitive position that the Munich-like failure to make common cause on Iraq proves the indispensability of the United Nations, since ''this very public and rancorous debate was actually taking place there.'' By that standard, the League of Nations proved indispensable when Italy invaded Ethiopia.

Additional Notes for UK Scholarship Nominations
August 16, 2014 | Fellowships, Graduate School Funding, UK | Leave a Comment
A few miscellaneous notes:
1. selecting a region for the Marshall/Rhodes–you should not need to determine that at the nomination stage. If you are nominated, we can discuss. You must choose a region before submitting–but you will be able to save or print to a pdf without that. I trust it is similar with the Rhodes application–but harder for me to see the online environment. The issue is, if invited for an interview, you will need to travel to the district you select (based on where you reside or where you study–and these may be different). Happy to discuss the choice with you after nomination.
2. where are the applications accessed? on the specific foundation's website! see go/fellowships for links if you need them.
Well, can't recall the third, so am stopping here!

- A degree progress report. You do not need to submit an official transcript at this stage.
- A current resume
Your materials are due by 5pm on Monday, September 2. Once I know who is applying, I will send you information about signing up for an interview with the British Scholarship Committee, to take place the week of September 8th (but not on the first day of classes–I assure you!).
Any questions or difficulties or if I've overlooked anything, let us know at firstname.lastname@example.com or by phone 802-443-3026. Please note: Colleen and I will both be out of the office from August 20-26.
If you are applying for the Gates-Cambridge, you do not need to apply for nomination. I am happy to talk with you about your application, provide feedback on essays etc, but you apply directly to that scholarship–see instructions on the Gates-Cambridge website.

Nat Geo Fulbright Applicants
July 22, 2014 | Fellowships, Study Abroad | Leave a Comment
The first group of grant recipients were recently announced: http://newswatch.nationalgeographic.com/2014/07/09/first-5-fulbright-national-geographic-digital-storytelling-fellows-named/ . For those of you thinking about the Nat Geo Fulbright, in addition to the very helpful info and instructions on the Fulbright website, make sure you address the following in your project proposal:
- Feasibility of your project in each country proposed. How will this work in each country? Why is each country setting an important part of your proposal?
- Who stands to benefit from your project and how? Think about the communities you'd be living/working with as well as US audiences
- What is your language proficiency? How does lack of proficiency impact your project? How would you address that?
Reviewers will be looking for the demonstrated feasibility of your project in each setting, your demonstrated skills in digital storytelling, your connection to the topic and your genuine interest in exploring a topic (rather than approaching with a particular agenda or view). The application tips are enormously helpful–read carefully!
Also, like any multi-country proposals, your proposal must be approved by each country you propose to visit. If you select three countries and one does not approve the project, your application will not be successful. So message is to choose what makes most sense for your project!

Always a Gentleman and make you smile and make you happy
I love spending time with the people I care about both family and friends. i like dinning out and enjoying great food or just hangout out at a relaxing bar. I love a good movie and listening to music. I am a big guy and was a football player though college, I am a gym rat and like to stay active. I do have a busy work week and have low key nights but when the weekend hits I have to go out and have some fun. My friends tell me I am the nicest most understanding person they have ever met, i guess that is just me wanting everyone around me to have a good time and be happy. Staying positive and treating people with respect are values that i live by. Having other people around who share those values are important to me. Im not going to lie, i can be shy and a quiet person when i first meet people but that can be easily remedied when i get to know you and i can be plain silly because life is too short to be serious all the time. I guess i am looking for someone who can be my best friend through thick and thin and completely understand each other. Someone who can go out, dance, enjoy simple pleasures, have a good conversation or just relax and enjoy each others company.
Camping , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Playing sports , Video games , Watching sports
Baseball, Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Football, Skiing, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
Brownstone, Tico, Salty Pig, Atlantic Beer Garden, Anything that serves great beers, Stella, Union, The Gallows, really most places in the South End. Fenway Park, The Garden, North Star. Anything with live music like the House of Blues, Middle East
I love Boston sports and love going to games. I like music, particularly the EDM scene and i like to go to live rock, electronic, jam band shows whenever i can. I love to be active, but alway make time to relax and enjoy whats around me
I love dinning out and enjoying great food, going to shows and concerts, watching movies, attending sporting events, working out, being outside when it gets warm like hiking or just relaxing on the beach
The last thing i read was the hunger games. I dont read all that much but it did suck me n and i read all three in about a week

A ring network provides transparent local area network (LAN) service by allocating respective proportions of data transmission capacity of the ring to different closed user groups (CUGs), each including a plurality of LAN clients. At each node of the ring, the use of a connected segment of the ring is monitored for both pass-through and locally-generated traffic by the LAN clients on a per-CUG basis. When it is detected that use of the connected segment for a CUG is approaching the allocated proportion, an active LAN client of the CUG is selected and sent a throttle message indicating that the LAN client is to reduce its data transmission rate.

The present invention is related to the field of data communications networks, and more particularly to networks providing transparent local area network (LAN) service.
Wide-area data communications networks or WANs can be used to provide so-called "transparent LAN service" among devices attached to geographically separated LAN segments. Transparent LAN service effectively hides the underlying WAN network from the devices, and thus enables the devices to communicate using only their native LAN protocol. Transparent LAN service can provide several important benefits such as backwards compatibility while providing fast connection speeds and lower operating costs. Newer WAN networking equipment can successfully interoperate with devices having only LAN interfaces, and customer investments in LAN equipment can be protected, easing customer acceptance of newer networking technology.
Transparent LAN service has been provided for different types of LANs in different types of WANs. Ethernet is one of the predominant LAN technologies, and therefore is widely supported in various implementations of transparent LAN service. Transparent LAN service has been provided in circuit-based WANs such as ATM and frame relay networks.
In a connection oriented WAN such as a frame relay network, transparent LAN service requires potentially numerous point-to-point connections among LAN clients on different LAN segments attached to the frame relay network. The required connectivity can be expensive and difficult to configure and maintain. In particular, it can be cumbersome to accurately specify the respective rates at which data is expected to be transferred between each of many source/destination pairs, a function that is required in the provisioning of frame relay and other data circuits. It would be desirable for transparent LAN services to be provided in a simpler manner so as to reduce the costs and complexity involved in configuring and otherwise managing enterprise networks that rely on transparent LAN services
In accordance with the present invention, apparatus and methods are disclosed for providing transparent LAN service in an optical ring network that reduces the configuration burden on a customer, specifically the burden of specifying data rates for a potentially large number of LAN source/destination pairs.
Respective proportions of data transmission capacity of the optical ring are allocated to different closed user groups (CUGs), each CUG including a number of users or clients of the transparent LAN service. For a given CUG, the allocated proportion is referred to as an "aggregate rate" of transmission capacity to which the CUG as a whole is entitled. The aggregate rate for a CUG reflects an expected overall traffic demand. For example, if a CUG includes ten sources each expected to generate 100 Kb/s traffic on average, a reasonable aggregate rate specification for the CUG might be 1000 Kb/s. There is no need to further specify data rates among the individual members of the CUG nor to implement point to point connectivity.
At each node of the ring, the use of a connected segment of the ring is monitored for both pass-through and locally-generated traffic of the CUG users on a per-CUG basis. When it is detected that use of the connected segment for a given CUG is approaching the proportion of ring data transmission capacity allocated to the CUG, an active one of the users of the CUG is sent a throttle message indicating that the user is to reduce its data transmission rate. This has the effect of limiting the CUG to its specified aggregate rate, without requiring any specification or monitoring of individual data rates among users of the CUG.
A "leaky bucket" flow control mechanism employing CUG-specific buffers and thresholds can be utilized to monitor compliance with a specified aggregate rate. Different types of throttle mechanisms can also be employed. Other aspects, features, and advantages of the present invention will also be apparent from the detailed description that follows.
The invention will be more fully understood by reference to the following Detailed Description of the invention in conjunction with the Drawing, of which:
The RPR network 10 carries traffic among different collections of a given CUG in a "transparent" fashion, meaning that (1) each CUG 18 (such as CUG 18-1) operates independently of the other CUGs 18 (such as CUGs 18-2 and 18-3) in the network, and (2) each collection (such as collection 18-1A) communicates with each counterpart collection of the same CUG (such as collection 18-1B) as though the network 10 were not interposed between them. The RPR nodes 12 employ packet encapsulation and decapsulation techniques to carry customer packets through the network 10 while associating each encapsulated packet with a particular CUG 18.
In addition to providing for logical separation of the traffic from different CUGs 18, the RPR nodes 12 provide other services on a per-CUG basis. In particular, the RPR nodes 12 perform functions pertaining to CUG-specific service level agreements (SLAs) that specify the nature of CUG traffic and the type of service to be provided by the network 10. While SLAs may pertain to a variety of different aspects of network service, the present description focuses on one particular aspect, which is the data communications bandwidth required by a CUG. As described below, the RPR nodes 12 incorporate functionality to monitor the use of network bandwidth by members of each CUG 18 and to selectively take steps to control the use of network bandwidth so as to ensure compliance with SLAs. This aspect of operation is referred to below as the enforcement of an agreed "aggregate rate" among the users of a CUG. In addition to providing aggregate rate services, the RPR nodes 12 can also provide so-called "best effort" services for which there is no guaranteed aggregate rate. Best effort services are also described in additional detail below.
As previously mentioned, in prior data communications networks such as frame relay networks, it is necessary to specify bandwidth requirements on a per-circuit basis. For CUGs having more than a few source-destination pairs, the process of accurately specifying bandwidth requirements in this fashion can be unwieldy. Typically, the end user is charged on a bandwidth and per circuit basis, and a user enterprise pays for bandwidth whether used or not. Further, bandwidth between one set of locations cannot be easily used between another set of locations as instantaneous bandwidth demands change, even though the user enterprise may have available and paid for bandwidth in the network. Therefore, the network 10 employs the concept of a per-CUG "aggregate rate", or a total amount of transmission bandwidth available to all the users of a CUG 18. From the perspective of the users of a given CUG 18, the network 10 appears as a shared transmission medium having a total transmission capacity equal to the aggregate rate specified for the CUG. This transmission capacity is shared among the users of the CUG in a dynamic fashion, as described in more detail below. Further, the total transmission capacity of the network 10 can be shared among multiple CUGs by appropriate specification of respective aggregate rates for the CUGs.
Generally, the aggregate rate specification for a CUG applies to the sum of the traffic rates into the network 10 from all CUG sources. Thus, for example, a 1 Mb/s aggregate rate specification would support a CUG having ten 100 Kb/s sources, or a CUG having two 400 Kb/s sources and ten 20 Kb/s sources. It should be noted that the ring network 10 employs "destination stripping", so that messages in general do not traverse the entire ring. This operational property is referred to as "spatial reuse".
Because of the spatial reuse property, for a given CUG with its specified aggregate rate, the utilization of the various segments 14 around the network 10 depends on the physical locations of the CUG sources and destinations. Segments 14 that are near high-rate sources or destinations generally carry higher levels of CUG traffic than segments 14 that are further away from such sources/destinations. It will be appreciated that this non-uniform distribution of traffic around the ring 10 arises from the spatial reuse property of the ring 10. However, the aggregate rate specification, per se, takes no account of the distribution of the traffic around the ring 10. In this respect, the aggregate rate specification can be viewed as defining a CUG-specific logical ring on the physical ring 10 having transmission capacity equal to the specified aggregate rate.
Packets are removed from the buffers 20 at the predetermined aggregate rate by rate-based packet removal logic 21. This can be done in any of a variety of known ways. As long as the occupancy of the buffers 20 is less than a predetermined maximum threshold 22, it is inferred that the aggregate rate is not being exceeded. It is important that the size of the buffers 20 and the setting of the threshold 22 be chosen to accommodate the expected burstiness of the traffic. A given CUG may comply with the aggregate rate as an average over an extended period of time, but may tend to utilize the bandwidth in bursts each having significantly higher instantaneous bandwidth. Such dynamic CUG behavior should be factored into the design of the buffers 20 and threshold 22.
When the threshold 22 is exceeded, the RPR node 12 sends a "throttle" message to a selected CUG member indicating that the CUG member should reduce its rate of transmission into the network 10, as described above with reference to
In order to choose a CUG member to be throttled when the threshold 22 is exceeded, an RPR node 12 preferably maintains a per-CUG "rate cache" identifying the most active sources within the CUG. The rate cache should include the instantaneous transmission rates of the most active sources, for example by using the following structure:
When an RPR node 12 determines that the threshold 22 for a given CUG is exceeded, it consults the rate cache of the CUG to identify a sender to be throttled, and issues a throttle message to this sender. Different algorithms for choosing a sender can be employed. Rotation among different active senders is preferable, so as to ensure some degree of fairness. For instance, the throttle message can be sent to some predetermined number or proportion of the most active users.
As previously mentioned, the aggregate rate guarantee can be viewed as analogous to the service provided by a shared transmission medium such as Ethernet. To this end, transmission capacity on each segment 14 is reserved or allocated on a per-CUG basis, and the amount reserved on each segment 14 is equal to the specified aggregate rate for the CUG. If the combined rate of streams from any set of sources within a CUG exceeds the specified aggregate rate on any segment 14, then the throttling mechanism is invoked. Thus, the CUG is prevented from using more than the specified aggregate rate at any given point on the ring.
It should be noted that the aggregate rate as monitored and enforced by the disclosed method is not necessarily equal to the "sum from all sources" specification of the aggregate rate as may be reflected in an SLA. If the sources for a given CUG are clustered near one segment 14, then these two specifications may be quite close to each other or identical. This is because most or all of the traffic from all CUG sources can be found on the one segment 14, so measuring the rate on the segment 14 is equivalent to measuring each source separately and adding the results. However, if the sources are distributed around the ring 10, the measurement yielded by the disclosed method tends to diverge from the sum-of-sources aggregate rate. In general, the more the sources and destinations are distributed around the ring, the more the sum-of-sources rate may exceed the aggregate measured at any particular segment 14 of the ring. Thus, the disclosed method does not necessarily detect all cases in which a specified aggregate rate is exceeded by the users of a CUG. However, the cases that are not detected do not conflict with the allocation of transmission resources around the ring 10 as a function of a specified aggregate rate. The aggregate rate is made available on each segment 14, regardless of the distribution of CUG sources and destinations. Even when the distribution results in providing more than the specified aggregate rate to the collection of sources in a CUG, the specified aggregate rate is not exceeded on any segment 14. In general, this aspect of operation is not problematic, compared for example to networks employing Ethernet over SONET, in which bandwidth is reserved on the entire ring for providing any-to-any connectivity. The disclosed method can provide similar connectivity while also allowing for improved utilization of available bandwidth, due to RPR properties like spatial reuse.
Examples are presented to illustrate this feature of the disclosed method. In
The RPR network 10 may provide different classes of service to different CUGs in accordance with a predetermined scheme. In particular, one or more "guaranteed delivery" service classes may be defined along with a "best effort" service class, for which delivery of messages is not guaranteed. In this case, it may be advantageous to employ the disclosed aggregate rate monitoring and enforcement method in the following manner. At each node 12, one leaky bucket mechanism may be used for each CUG receiving guaranteed service. The outputs of the various leaky bucket buffers 20 can be provided to a guaranteed service queue, from which packets are taken for transmission onto an outgoing segment 14 without any further rate-based processing. Additionally, a separate best effort queue is used for CUGs receiving best-effort service. Since no rate is guaranteed to such CUGs, no leaky bucket or other rate policing mechanisms are used on a per-CUG bases. However, it may be useful to employ the disclosed method on the best-effort queue as a whole. That is, the best effort queue itself can be structured as a leaky bucket, including a threshold 22 that triggers the sending of throttle messages to members of best-effort CUGs. This scheme is utilized to avoid congestion in the best-effort queue that might result in the discarding of messages. Accordingly, the scheme can be seen as enabling the provision of an improved best-effort service.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that modifications to and variations of the disclosed methods and apparatus are possible without departing from the inventive concepts disclosed herein, and therefore the invention should not be viewed as limited except to the full scope and spirit of the appended claims.

Friday Quiz: Name That 1994 Test Instrument
0 comments post a comment
If you can remember back to 1994, then take a shot at naming these test instruments.
Today is July 3. EE Times' offices are closed for the holiday but Friday quizzes never get a week off. I uploaded this on July 1, but will probably work for some part of the day anyway—that's the life on an online editor.
This week's quiz breaks from the usual multiple-choice format. The following pages have images from ads that ran in the April 1994 issue of Test & Measurement World. Your mission is to identify six test instruments. Of course, I removed the manufacturer names and model numbers from each image. Leave your answers in the comments. The question pages contain images of the test instruments in question. Don't worry, for the last page will,as usual, have the answers. While you're on the last page, be sure to click on the images (repeated from pages 2 through 7). You'll then see the full ad for each product. The ads will open in new windows and you should be able to reach all the text unless you're reading them on a your phone.
Before we begin, take a look at the front and back covers of this issue below. They were purely coincidence. The person in the National Instruments ad is Matt Jacobs, who worked at NI in 1994. Click on the image to enlarge. Matt knew about the back-cover ad, but not about the front-cover art. Surprise!

Since creating a second life in Kauai, my shooting has suddenly become more dynamic! Engagement shoots are one thing … but proposals photographed guerrilla style from the bushes is a whole other monkey! The angst I feel! the things I get to see!!!
My first shoot ever accompanying one of Ann's dinners was an honor that included a mess of excitement, adrenalin and everything that goes along with keeping a surprise a surprise and making one of the most important days of a person's life EXCELLENT! Ruben thought of everything, a trip to Hawaii, the convertible, and of course….a surprise catered dinner for 2 on a private Kauai beach quietly protected by reef. A romantic Tikki lit table on a bed of sand dotted with lava rocks topped the day off with fine wine and a 4 course dinner of salad colored with edible flowers, lilikoi grilled shrimp, and as if a reward were necessary…. finished with grilled pineapple atop rum buttered banana confit comforted by a pillow of coconut ice cream, live fudge and raspberry decadence, chef'd by the amazing Ann Eu.
…oh…. and their own personal paparazzi…..

For all the talk Dana White is doing about PRIDE fighters being locked under contract, there sure seems like a lot of exceptions to that statement. The latest exception seems to be Takanori Gomi:
Daily Sports reported Monday that Nobuhiko Takada, acting as headquarters chief for former PRIDE parent company Dream Stage Entertainment, gave his consent to allow PRIDE lightweight champion Takanori Gomi to move to another organization. Western and Japanese fans alike have been anxiously awaiting the Shooto and PRIDE veteran's return to the ring.
Takada said he wanted to see Gomi leave on good terms. "Gomi is a world-class athlete," Takada said. "I want him to get all the motivation in the world to fight. I want him to show the strength of PRIDE." With the PRIDE franchise in what Takada called a state of hibernation, Gomi's appearance in another organization seemed inevitable. "It would be a waste to just let time go by for Gomi," Takada said. "I asked him to show the world the true value of reviving PRIDE."
So somehow DSE still has the ability to release fighters from their PRIDE contracts. I wasn't privy to the secret details, but this seems like a repeat of how Josh Barnett managed to get out of his contract. Mind you I wouldn't take this story at face value. If there's one thing I've learned in my time writing this blog, it's that Japanese people are all filthy liars, and they eat babies too.
Okay, maybe they don't eat babies, and they're probably cleaner than the average North American. But half the stuff printed in Daily Sports about MMA is still wrong or an outright lie. If this happens to be true though, I bet Dana White is so mad he's shitting kittens.
Here's something guys with the name 'Frank' have in common: they won't fight you unless you're famous. In a statement during MMAWeekly's Sound Off Radio, Frank Trigg slammed up and comer Jake Shields for challenging him:
Why would I fight Jake Shields? What does this do for me? What does it bring? Well it doesn't bring anything. Who knows who Jake is besides the diehard mainstream MMA fans, who knows who Jake is? I guess he is 7th ranked at 170 lbs, I am 10th ranked at 185 lbs. So it's two different weight classes. I have a weekly show on Fox Sports Net and two weeks ago I was on three different shows on Fox. So what does Jake bring to the table when he fights me? Nothing. He doesn't bring fans from outside the realm of MMA, he doesn't bring any notoriety, he doesn't bring anything other then his mouth. All he is really bring to the table is his big mouth. There is nothing else he brings to the fight.
I'm a bit confused about the whole 'He doesn't bring fans from outside the realm of MMA' thing. I know he doesn't pull the gay crowd like Frank, but that's no reason not to fight him. Typically MMA fighters have MMA fans, that's kinda how it works. I will admit that Frank is famous and Jake isn't … but Frank is famous for being the worst commentator in MMA history, and for his inability to defend a rear naked choke.
Now, I'm not the kind of guy who thinks a fighter should fight anyone who calls them out. In fact, I was pretty damned critical of the whole Mike Swick / Jonathan Goulet situation. But in this case, there's more than the trash talking. Jake Shields vs Frank Trigg is a good match-up, and it wouldn't be difficult to put on in an organization like EliteXC or as a headliner for any of the countless middle-rung organizations out there. So why is Frank Trigg so adamant that it's not going to happen? Since when did MMA become a popularity contest where t-shirt sales matter more than your skill in the ring?
Why, you ask, should I care? Because Steve just won the first ever Fightlinker giveaway. Last week's radio show was all about the Mailbag, and Steve was one of the guys who submitted a question. With that simple act, he won one of the new Team Quest t-shirts pictured in this post. Congrats Steve, and a reminder for everyone else: keep your peepers peeled for more contests and prizes!
Nowadays it seems like there's more action taking place in the courtroom than in the ring. The latest legal victory for Zuffa's team of flesh eating lawyers was the settlement of the whole Ed Fishman vs PRIDE debacle, where PRIDE promised Ed moneys and a job but gave him the shaft and a slap in the face.
There's no detail on what the terms were for the settlement, but my bet is Dana White offered Ed a cookie and promised not to call him a "nobody C-list slot machine bozo" in public any more. But if the negotiations went rough it wouldn't surprise me if Zuffa threw in cell phone service 'for life', ringside tickets to an Ultimate Fight Night, and a jar of skin cream formulated especially for creepy gingers.

I'm still open to heading out any time, preferably on a dry day though just because of what we're aiming to accomplish, and because some of the blockaded crossings can't be seen from google map satellite images.
be careful where you are out there..........getting into Big Cypress or Everglades land is a big no no. They can take your bike!! Stay on the roads and I would caution on bypassing gates. Lots of the areas are closed off with the Offroad vehicle gates which are permit required and a motorcycle cannot get the permits. I guess they figure we are to rowdy and will do more damage than the four wheelers that they do allow!!!
The area around the squares and then west of that off Sable Palm has tons of trails to ride!!! In the Squares you gotta be careful of location because east of the main canal is all designated inside the 'glades restoration project and they frown upon being there. Kyle B and I one day got up in there and ended up on the protected area side of the security gate for the restoration and pump station project. They didn't shoot us but weren't real happy that we were there.........we mostly played lost and stupid and they let us go with no issues!!! Areas out off the main roads right now will be deep in mud and water......if the rain lets up they will be great to ride starting hopefully late December.
somebody asked where is the Squares. Google Janes Scenic Drive. follow it from SR 29 to the west. It will eventually lead to a grid area out in the swamps. This was suppose to be one of the 'buy land in the Everglades' communities that were really real estate scams for the most part. A bunch of the pavement and/or hard packed trails are still there, especially to the west. Most of the roads to the east have been leveled for the most part and canals are being filled to return the natural flow of the 'glades. This is part of 'glades restoration project mentioned above. Lots of fun riding. At about the west center of the Squares you will see where Sable Palm Road ties in. This can also be accessed from the Naples area off of US-41. This road is more fun to ride and get can pretty hairy especially in the wet season. There are lots of trails that intersect Sable Palm as you get closer to the Squares. Bigger bikes can run them, but IMHO, judging by the amount of mud on the bikes.......the smaller bikes are better suited riding the trails off Sable Palm. When it dries up and gets cooler, this is the place to ride down here I think.
For those in the south of Dade County there is all the roads south of Palm Drive. If you follow 137 Ave South you will see where it basically ends as an 'improved and maintained' road right at Palm Drive near the race track. South of that there are miles and miles of grid roads that for the most part are numbered streets but were never improved. Its been my experience that sometimes the cops hassle the four wheelers and dirt bikes, but for the most part they to not bother street legal dual sports at all. This area can get pretty muddy and churned up good because of the four wheelers. Its a place you probably don't want to venture too deep into alone. Also be careful to shy away from the FPL property lines out there.
Like I said before on the Miami Canal stuff, there is tons to ride, but you will spend a bunch of time back tracking because of closed gates or deadends. Just make sure you now the park boundaries. There are lots of roads that look like they connect the asphalt but most times you find a gate at one end or the other. Prime example is Hill Grade Road that connects 833 and 835 most of the time there is an open gate on the 833 side, but I have never seen the 835 side gate open. I also noticed last winter that many of the roads/areas I use to get to down this way had new gates and fresh boulders to limit access.
another trick I have found on google maps that works good for locating gates is to chase the road to blacktop and then hit the street view. A good precentage of the roads out there have been well photographed by google maps and you can spin the view and zoom to look for a gate.........occasionally you will find where they actually went down the dirt roads until they hit a gate.
I hope soon to get out with you guys.......busy at home and work right now

Yeah, tried that. I'm generally unlucky with tutorials- this is one of those cases, it just hasn't worked for me and doesn't look like it's going to. I have a method to change the instruments (within the song, not the ROM) that works absolutely fine, I just want to know exactly what instruments can be worked with in Ruby so I know how to compose around that; it's an odd way to go about it, but it works for me (so long as I know, again, what instruments I'm working with).

Heartwarming: Power Rangers Time Force
- The Lightspeed and Time Force Rangers swapping jackets at the end of "Time For Lightspeed."
- Carter: You got the jackets, now try the dance!Time Force Rangers: Lightspeed! Rescue!
- The first part of the finale when Nadira helps deliver a baby causing her to question her father's hatred of humans and being the catalysis of her Heel-Face Turn.
- Hell, the entire ending of the finale qualifies.
- Wes's father coming around and admitting that he doesn't want Wes to follow in his footsteps and find his own path.
- To emphasize this, in the first few episodes, money's all Mr. Collins cares about, to the point where Wes had to effectively con him into donating to charity and the Silver Guardians are only protection for those who pay, even at one point trying to buy the other Rangers into joining. By the finale, he is evacuating people into his limo and says the Silver Guardians are no longer a for-profit security force.
- The Time Force cast was reportedly one of the friendliest in the show's history. Everyone got along famously, with the actors even saying there'd been talk of having them continue for an additional season.

Product description
Jonathan Safran Foer emerged as one of the most original writers of his generation with his best-selling debut novel, Everything Is Illuminated. Now, with humor, tenderness, and awe, he confronts the traumas of our recent history. What he discovers is solace in that most human quality, imagination. Meet Oskar Schell, an inventor, Francophile, tambourine player, Shakespearean actor, jeweler, pacifist, correspondent with Stephen Hawking and Ringo Starr. He is nine years old. And he is on an urgent, secret search through the five boroughs of New York. His mission is to find the lock that fits a mysterious key belonging to his father, who died in the World Trade Center on 9/11. An inspired innocent, Oskar is alternately endearing, exasperating, and hilarious as he careens from Central Park to Coney Island to Harlem on his search. Along the way he is always dreaming up inventions to keep those he loves safe from harm. What about a birdseed shirt to let you fly away? What if you could actually hear everyone's heartbeat? His goal is hopeful, but the past speaks a loud warning in stories of those who've lost loved ones before. As Oskar roams New York, he encounters a motley assortment of humanity who are all survivors in their own way. He befriends a 103-year-old war reporter, a tour guide who never leaves the Empire State Building, and lovers enraptured or scorned. Ultimately, Oskar ends his journey where it began, at his father's grave. But now he is accompanied by the silent stranger who has been renting the spare room of his grandmother's apartment. They are there to dig up his father's empty coffin.
