Xerxella, I have always thought that too. But the way my therapist described it was that if you are expecting the worst so much that it makes you feel sad, which is what I have been doing, then you are already suffering the pain you would if it actually comes true. If it does, then maybe you feel it less but you still had to go through it anyway just before the actual event (which I guess is WHY we do it). BUT if it doesn't come true then you suffered for nothing and also forged a pathway in your brain towards the negative outcome anyway. So it does put you in a more negative headspace and expectation of the world. It's REALLY hard for me to wrap my head around this. Negativity has always been my way of "protecting" myself.
Dakipode, I like what you said about the zen being at peace with all feelings and letting them come and then be able to let go.

Weekend plans anyone?
I'm Oing right around now so there's those plans.
Then I'm staying busy with clients tomorrow morning, then lunch and a movie with a friend, tennis on Sunday and getting ready for NaNoWriMo! I've gotten a surge of inspiration and I'm kind of getting a head start (is that allowed? What are the rules anyway?) I'm planning on attending the local kick-off meeting on Wednesday from 11pm till 1am! So excited about this project! Thanks again, beingmommy, for telling me about it!
I started my application back in March or April, but things just kept coming up, so I've been taking longer than I hoped to complete it. I'm the kind of person who likes to have a chunk of time already a set aside before I can commit to a project!
Also, I just found out I got screened in for a job I applied for, so I need to study up before the written test in two weeks, so I'll be working on that this weekend, along with doing some MAJOR cleaning around the house. It's embarrassing how disgustingly dirty it is
And next weekend I'm flying up north to a good friend's baby shower with my DD2, so I am hoping to pack this weekend, and buy a couple of things I need for the trip.
Happy BDing/baby dust

Dakipode and Beingmommy Love your thoughts on preparing for the worst and perfectionism. I too fall into these traps and it truly does suck so much joy out of just being! I am trying to focus on what I am grateful for and staying hopeful in all areas.
Good for you Lidamama84! The application process is lengthy, as I recall, but well worth the effort. I have been out of the LLL scene for the past few years but hope to reconnect if my efforts are successful TTC!
I am taking my DD to a pumpkin farm this afternoon to meet up with friends. Should be a fun adventure for all. I am looking forward to the apple cider press in particular. We are finishing up Halloween costumes also, DD as Astrid the Viking dragon trainer (from the book and movie, How to Train Your Dragon) and myself as Mrs. Potato Head. AF just ended, should be getting ready to O the end of next week - next weekend. I am looking forward to that If nothing else it inspires me to be more creative with finding alone time with my DH.
Happy weekend!!
I am a Mama who
All this discussion about preparing for the worst is really helpful. I often wonder whether I should let myself get my hopes up or not. When we first started TTC, I was always really hopeful. Back in July, I got my hopes up really high, but then when AF came, it hurt so bad. Since then, I don't let myself get very hopeful anymore. It's no fun to be pessimistic though.
Dakipode, thanks for the advice about jealousy. I know that reminding myself to be thankful for what I do have helps with anxiety about work. Also, how fun that you take ballet class! I used to take ballet class, more than 5 years ago. I was thinking about taking classes again, but I can't find any adult ballet classes in the area. I live in a pretty small town.
Beingmommy, I totally understand about the jealousy. I'm sure it's harder when it's family than when it's a coworker. I hope you are feeling better.
As for my weekend plans, I have to catch up on work today. Tomorrow, we're having some friends over for board games. Also, I expect to O in the next 4 days, so I have some of those plans as well.
Dakipode, I am so happy you are doing Nanowrimo and are so excited! That is great about the local kickoff group. I am hoping I can do it this year. I do have trouble finding enough time for that much writing. But I will try. It IS a great distraction and you feel so accomplished at the end! And good luck for your O'ing weekend!
Lidamama, yay for the LLL app! I started the process back when my DS was 9 months old but then we started getting blindsided by repeated health/dev issues for him and I just couldn't keep up. But I love LLL. It saved our nursing relationship.
SparkleMaman, I love the How to Train your Dragon movie. I find that first flying scene so inspiring. And it sounds like you have some really fun things planned. We had a visit to a farm with a local homeschooling group this week and then a Halloween party tomorrow. Fall is so much fun. I am finding it easier to keep zen and busy. Good luck for your approaching O!
Coati, I so get you on the not getting your hopes up. And I guess, maybe for me I was taking it too far and that's maybe why my therapist brought up the expecting the worst hurting. I was getting really sad about it way ahead of time and also angry and berating myself anytime I started to feel hopeful. So I WAS hurting myself even more than the disappointment would have. BUT, you know I get what she is saying even for those who are less extreme than me. I mean, the disappointment sucks but if you always anticipate it then you are putting yourself in a more negative place for longer stretches of time than maybe is needed. I thought it was an interesting thing. And by no means does she suggest being ridiculously hopeful either. Just leaving the door open in a calmer way. I have been trying it and it feels okay. ANYWAY, good luck for your O too!
Wow, so many are O'ing right now. Well except for me as I am at the tail-end of my TWW.
AFM: Speaking of, I am pondering testing early. Exactly opposite from last cycle. But I did test around CD 28 last time and it wound up being good because I got a BFN and then had a late period and I would've been sure I was pregnant if I hadn't tested. So, we'll see. I really feel calm about it all. Maybe because there is so much else going on. And this thread, of course, helps me keep my zen focus better. I am also feeling so much better about my SIL and not really jealous anymore at all. Fastest resolving of that sort of thing ever for me!

Beingmommy Oh, I have my fingers crossed for you and will keep you in my thoughts!! I am very much hoping AF does not arrive for you. Good vibes being sent your way
And I am also glad you are feeling better about your SIL. I have such a hard time with jealous feelings, as I wrestle with those and feelings of guilt for being jealous. I find it most difficult to contain my jealous feelings when a pregnancy is not planned or even welcomed. But I think a SIL or sister would be equally challenging for other reasons. And I never responded to one of your earlier posts about people feeling comfortable saying the most outrageous things. I completely agree, it is mind boggling sometimes. When I have the energy, I do call people on it but often it isn't the appropriate moment. I will tell you that age differences of any length between siblings can be wonderful. My sister and I are 11 years apart and have always been close. I have a good friend who is 7 years older than a sibling, they always got along beautifully. My best friend's two kiddos are 17 and 19 and they have struggled getting along growing up but have recently become much closer (and it was never awful, just typical sibling squabbles). And yesterday I watched my DD's friend, she's 9, so kindly caring for her little brother, he's almost 4, while we played at the pumpkin/apple farm. It was so very sweet, and she is always like that. From a parenting perspective, I have always thought a greater age difference allows you to meet each child's needs more effectively and with less struggle for yourself, as you are not being pulled in quite so many directions. It is a little easier for an older child to understand they might need to wait on having a 'want' while a younger sibling has their immediate needs met. And the needs/wants are so different at each age. But again, every person/family is different and my point is that I am sure you are not looking at a 'nightmare scenario' (as described by acquaintances) with children 5+ years apart
Dakipode Good luck with your writing, sounds awesome!! That will be quite an accomplishment. Hope you had fun with your weekend plans.
Take care everyone!!
I am a Mama who
SparkleMaman, thank you!!! You have no idea how much it helps to hear about sibs who have large age differences doing well together. I DO worry about it with my DS. But having them closer together would've been rough for him with all the extra attention he needed. And I keep thinking it has to be okay. He is developmentally a bit younger anyway. And he seems to do better with younger kids. So it will be okay.

SparkleMaman: I did feel like an onlie, but I think that stemmed more from the fact my brothers were only 15 months apart whilst I was 4.5 and 6 years younger then they, and there was only the three of us. I am trying to have my children as close as possible, however, the whole not ovulating thing is getting in the way. Clomid to the rescue!!
Me (34) (PCOS), DH (36) and DD1 (4) and DD2(1). We are going to go for a third. Now, will we succeed?
Beingmommy Of course it will be okay! I completely understand your hesitations and worries. My DD is 9 and will be almost 10 when her sib is born, assuming things work out in the next few months. I too have grappled with the, is this fair? Will it work? I have come to embrace this, my DH's philosophy, recently. I am a planner, a prepared kind of person. I am typically anxious and need things in order. I worry endlessly about potential obstacles. My DH recently said, "Well, it will all work out because it always does," in response to a situation we were dealing with. I was angry, how could he not see the possible bad outcomes? And then I thought, he is so right! It does always work out. It does always seem to just be okay, not ideal, not how I'd like, perhaps, but okay. And so, I am embracing this in my quest to be more flexible and free flowing. It all works out because it always does. Letting go is SO, SO hard. But it will work out. I am sure of it
I am a Mama who
Sparklemaman, funny that you mention your DH being like that, we are just the opposite. While I worry some, for the most part I go through life thinking everything will be ok and we'll land on our feet no matter what. DH is the one who tends to live with the fear that the bottom will fall out from underneath us. Did you see The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel? He says: "Everything will be ok in the end, and if it's not ok, it's not the end."
devilish: so are you ovulating with Clomid now? And on which CD? I'm just curious.
beingmommy, glad to hear you are feeling better about your SIL. Being happy for someone else doesn't have to mean denying your own sadness.
coati, good luck and have fun!
lidamama: sounds like you're staying busy and staying sane.
JustJenny, Xerxella:
AFM: I finally O'd and we've been getting plenty of BD action so it won't be a lack of timing or effort if it doesn't happen this time! I'm in full preparation for NaNo, planning on attending a kick-off event Wednesday night. I think it might add more stress to my life but it'll keep me preoccupied and thinking about other things.
Have a great week everyone!
Dakipode: I will be starting clomid on my next cycle. And today is CD 31, however, for all intents and purposes, it is CD 21 as in 1 week past ovulation, if I have indeed ovulated. Wishing you lots and lots of baby dust!
Sorry, Dakipode. I misunderstood the question. CD 3 - 7 I will be taking Clomid.
Me (34) (PCOS), DH (36) and DD1 (4) and DD2(1). We are going to go for a third. Now, will we succeed?
devilish yay for clomid! I wanted to take soy isos once we were getting close to TTC, but I can't bc I'm still BFing. Mostly I wanted to see if I could up my chances of having twins, lol...then I'd have my 4 kids and be done . No more convincing DH for another
Sigh...back to work tomorrow...

SparkleMaman, oh my gosh I am such a planner and my DH is such a everything will be fine too! Hee! I have been working really hard on letting go too. Really this past summer and fall have been the first time I have started really picking apart these things and trying to get into a better headspace. And thanks again for the reassurance about the age thing!
Dakipode, okay I just figured out what I want to try and write for NaNo and now I am all excited too! Might not make it but at least I have an idea and some motivation. Fingers crossed for your O and BDing!
Devilish, good luck with the clomid next cycle!

devilish, I meant: when you take Clomid what day do you end up ovulating? I ask because this was my first cycle on Clomid but I didn't ovulate any earlier than usual, CD22 for me... I'm curious to hear about your experience though it sounds like it might take a couple of weeks for you to find out.
beingmommy: cool! Good luck with your story and reaching your goal. I read that you're not supposed to use earlier work but I seriously want to finish this story I've been sitting on for years. It'll be a good exercise to just get me writing a lot on a regular basis. Before I would just write when inspiration struck but I can see the value in just writing, not worrying about whether it's any good or not, almost like a stream of consciousness thing.
Just doing a drive-by to say hello, hope everyone is doing well. :)
Waiting to O here, any day now... Giving OPK's a whirl this month, makes me feel like I am doing something, plus since Dh isn't exactly willing to "perform" as often as I'd like, hopefully I can feel more confident that we're maximizing our chances. Making babies is supposed to be fun, right?

lidamama - Yeah!!! Congrats on working on becoming a LLL Leader! That's a great goal. Why would there be any problems with taking soy while breastfeeding? A lot of people eat soy as a regular diet. For instance, 1/4 cup of soy nuts contains about 80mg of soy isoflavones and 3 glasses of soymilk contains 150mg of soy isoflavones. So, what difference would it make if you were breastfeeding and drinking soy milk? (Truly wondering, not just being argumentative.)
dakipode and beingmommy - Those are interesting points. I guess I mean preparing for the worst by just having no expectations. So, I guess in a way, I'm not preparing for the WORST. I'm just preparing for the status quo. Like I don't expect to get pregnant in any particular cycle. The odds are just against any particular cycle being successful. But, I don't expect some horrible tragedy to befall my children. (And, I think that would truly be the worst.) So, maybe it's more like I'm preparing for reality. The odds are only 20% that I'll get pregnant in any given month. So, it's an 80% likelihood that I'll be trying again next month. So, I should make sure now that I have enough sanitary pads for 2 weeks from now. I'm prepared.
to everyone. Sorry I didn't do more persies.
AFM - It's just been crazy at work, but hopefully everything will slow down by next week. At least, I'll know by then if I'm moving onto next cycle or not. 80% chance I am. I'm making big plans for next June! I've made the reservations, but haven't bought the airline tickets yet. But, we're going as a family to Yellowstone!!!!! Woo-hoo!!!! Neither my dh or the kids has ever been there! I'm pretty excited. We plan on going the first week of June, which is shortly after all of the park opens. (Most of the park is closed in winter.) And, we're hoping it's before the vast majority of schools let out, so hopefully it won't be TOO busy. I'm super duper excited. I bought a book about it and have been extolling dh with facts about the park. I'm sure he loves that!
Good luck all!!!!!! We're due for some BFPs around here!

Ten days in our lives, a lifetime in our hearts
The whole story at: www.xerxella.blogspot.com
GISDiva: just for reference, at the clinic they told me to count the first day you get a half dark line as the day you need to start BDing and then the next 3 days. Would it help if you told DH what the plan was? That way you don't have to spring it on him every night...
Xerxella: that sounds like a wonderful trip! Make some extra plans to go skydiving or something too, then you'll for sure get pregnant, right?
On the topic of soy isos etc.: I can't keep straight what's supposed to be good for you or not. Some say no soy, others say do soy... I read up a little on soy isos and if I understand correctly they're supposed to mimic estrogen binders so your body produces more estrogen? But then I keep thinking I've mostly heard about estrogen dominance and most women having too much estrogen. I'm totally confused...
AFM: feeling pretty hopeful today, feeling weird about letting myself get my hopes up, part of me says "you should know better, this will only lead to disappointment" and then part of me thinks "but it COULD happen, right?" Then part of me is starting to wonder if it doesn't happen this cycle how much more am I willing to let myself go through emotionally. Should I just give up and decide to not have kids and be done with the heart ache? My irrational fear is that I will become a bitter and selfish person if I never have kids. I know many people lead very fulfilling lives without ever having kids. I start thinking "maybe that could be me, maybe I could be ok without kids, I could just have dogs..."
I don't know. I'm getting tired of being disappointed every month. I realize there are many women who have been at it longer than I have. I'm just thinking that I don't know how close I am to my limit...
Ok, so that really doesn't sound very hopeful. Just letting myself be open to what I'm feeling right now.
Thanks for the tip Dakipode, and a big 'ol hug. I don't know the answer either, but it's OK to feel what you feel. I had those same thoughts when I thought I would never get DH on board for a second, could I be happy with one or would I be bitter that such a huge thing was missing from my life and my son's life? And I still have those thoughts when I obsess over our age and wonder if it's really ever going to happen. I get superstitious too - my friend gave me a giant collection of awesome maternity clothes and I almost didn't want to take them because I felt like it would jinx everything...
I got a maybe not-quite-half line last night, but I am in the early stages of a cold (dammit) and I was the one who just wasn't feeling it last night. But yeah, I think tonight is probably the night, and probably tomorrow and I think that's about all I will get anyway. He just doesn't have much of a libido, to be perfectly honest. He knows the drill, we've been down this road before. Maybe we'll make a Halloween baby, is that bad luck?
How exciting Xerxella, I would *love* to see Yellowstone! When DS is older, that's definitely on the list.

beingmommy: YAY! As Xerxella mentioned: we were due for some BFPs! I wish you all the best! And I'm sure you know all this: take it one day at a time. I can understand that you would be hesitant to let yourself get excited after a loss but the event in itself is a reason for joy and celebration, so give yourself permission to be fully present to that! You cannot predict the future so enjoy the present!
dakipode - I never really understood the soy iso thing either. The theory in fertility is that they act like a weak Clomid. They bind to the estrogen receptors in your brain and your body thinks it doesn't have enough estrogen, so it pumps out more. This never really made sense to me because vegans and Asians (as a group) have the lowest rates of twins and the highest rates of soy consumption. And, if soy acted like Clomid, you'd think they'd have the highest rates of twins.
beingmommy - And, yep to what dakipode said. Try to enjoy the present!

Thanks, Xerxella and Dakipode! I find I am more zen than I might have been if I hadn't found this thread. One day at a time, right? So glad I have a therapy appointment today. Oh and now my SIL and I are pregnant at the same time! So hoping for sweet little cousins next summer.
Xerxella, I like what you said about having no expectations. That sounds pretty healthy. I think I should've explained right from the start that I was swaying WAY to far to the sad/angry side with my expectations and that is why my therapist had given me her suggestion. It is good for me. Yay for your trip planning! That sounds like so much fun! And my fingers are still crossed for you!
Dakipode, I am sorry there are some not sure what to do feelings. I have had those so much too. I think, give yourself time. You are in a high emotion time right now with the TWW. After we found out about our missed m/c I was adament that that was it. We were done trying. But over time, after the rough patch I started wanting it again. And no matter what, it IS great that you are letting yourself feel what you feel. Hugs hugs!
GISDiva, my DH has some libido troubles too. Whew, it can be difficult trying to plan a best BD time when you feel like you have to pick the one or two best times! Fingers crossed for you!

xercella- Yellowstone is amazing! What a great trip to plan. I went as a young teen and would love to go as a adult....
dakipode - I am totally going through the same thought processes. I'm definitely approaching my threshold of how much I can take. Unfortunately, If we don't have kids I don't know that becoming a bitter person is irrational fear for me though. Maybe I'll go back to school, or maybe the dogs will be enough, idk....
Gisdiva- good luck this week!
AFM- Depressing post alert- 9 dpo. Not excited at all. I thought it would kick in but I have no pregnancy signs and I'm just waiting for disappointment. After last month's bfn I've been very depressed. I started taking Sam-e again to lift my mood and its helped a bit. I just can't seem to shake the feeling that I have to face not having children. Dh has seen the change and asked for one more month of trying before testing. Honestly testing is the only thing keeping me hopeful at this point. Sorry I'm in such a horrible headspace. That's why I haven't been around to much.....

JustJenny: I went for testing fairly early on in the process to put my mind at ease and to confirm that my hopes weren't based in fantasy. Given your history with a loss you know you can get pregnant, testing might give you some more insight on your specific situation so you know what to base your hopes and expectations on...
I think one of the hardest things for me is the constant why. I seek to understand a situation in order to gain control over it and to have no good reason for failure makes you feel so powerless. It might be a silly analogy but TTC is sort of like predicting the weather. We understand weather patterns and can predict to a certain extent whether it's going to be hot or cold, dry or wet, but you never know and ultimately you have to dress for whatever weather decides to show up that day and no amount of complaining about it will change it...

Redundance in the www <-> db
- adminmarcus 5 Jul 2010 13:07There was a few hours downtime this morning. The problem was that the dedicated network between the database and www was broken.
We'll add fallback to the slower public network should the primary act up again, and also fix reasonable gadgets to notify us IRL on error.
Sorry about this everyone.
- dnavarrojr 5 Jul 2010 23:18Thanks for the update Marcus... I was curious about what happened.
- adminmarcus 6 Jul 2010 09:58Until the Android 2.2 monitor app is up & running I wanted the site to SMS us on error and after wading through sites with SMS bulk spam deals I noticed that our own ISP has its own solution at Pingability.
Now we have one page that is polled by Pingability that does general checks and they will SMS, email or call us on error. All at ten bucks per month.
- dnavarrojr 6 Jul 2010 23:48Very nice...
What about the upload issue? It no longer takes you to the main upload page after you submit. There's an extra step.
- movielighter 28 Aug 2010 10:12Any idea on the delay time between upload and us being able to tag and send for review?

I like Miley but dag nab it, put his butt on the bench with jimenez so they can play with each other. I would start Cruz over Griff. don't get me wrong, he WAS a great player but you don't win by playing a guy that can't do it anymore and still don't know how to run out a "so called HR" that bounces off the fence!
I didn't realize it but Miley must subscribe to KRISP and understand that KRISPY hitters make good cleanup and 5 holers. Randa has cooled off but Miley keeping him in 4 hole on strength of his low strikeouts (for this team) and .308 RISP.
Miley has the tough job of keeping Casey and Jr happy and also trying to get them rolling. If he drops them to the 5 and 6 hole or the 6 and 7 hole then he is running a risk of hurting their confidence and get them thinking even more. Then again keeping them so high in the order you run the risk of hurting your team. While I dont think Dunn should bat 5 I dont think he should bat 2 either. I would probably go: Freel, Casey, Dunn, Kearns, Jr., Randa, Aurillia, LaRue (with todays players). But normally I would put Pena in the 4 spot instead of Kearns and Lopez instead of Aurillia.
I'm much more interested in the team winning than I am in trying to keep Griffey and Casey "happy."Originally Posted by SYCMiniBus

Drop them down. If they don't like, oh well. Start hitting is all I can tell you.
I miss Adam Dunn.
Delgado takes strike 3.
Good inning from Claussen.
I miss Adam Dunn.
Last year Casey was an RBI machine early out of the 5 spot (and the 6 spot). Then they moved him up.Originally Posted by OnBaseMachine
Griffey hit 5th, 6th or cleanup most of the time.
Randa has never been a cleanup hitter.
I don't see why they would mind a switch. I think Miley has that "player sensitivity" stuff in his head and that's what's keeping him back (aside from the fact he's not very bright).
"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it."
With all do respect part of the reason you feel that way is because you are not the manager of the team and do not have to deal with them every day. There is more to being a manager then making out a lineup card. I do not know if a calculator will tell you that, but any actually manger will.Originally Posted by RedsBaron
When it's broke.....don't fix it, I guess. Unbelieveable. Hoping for a solid Claussen performance today......

- "So fierce-looking he's afraid of his own reflection. Takes good care of his men and is a huge DCMC fan."
- — Battle Memory, first encounter
- "After tasting defeat, this solider underwent intense training to power himself up."
- — Battle Memory, second encounter
The Pork Trooper (コワモテブタマスク Kowamote Butamasuku lit. "Scary Look Pigmask"), more commonly known as the Fierce Pork Trooper, is a high-ranking soldier in the Pigmask Army (although there are more higher-ranked soldiers).He fights against Lucas and company twice during the game. He can also be seen at DCMC concerts.
The Fierce Pork Trooper is a muscular soldier who wears a short-sleeved pink Pigmask uniform altered to fit his bulky figure. The helmet is outfitted with horns and a facemask, and he also wear two large gold 'bracelets'.
When fought the second time, his uniform is now blue and long-sleeved with gloves. The horns are also longer and more curved.
According to the Battle Memory, the Fierce Pork Trooper is a rather competent leader, as it states that he takes good care of his men. Like all Pigmasks, he is also a fan of DCMC.
The Trooper is in fact one of their biggest fans, to the point that showing him DCMC-related items during the battle will actually distract him. This is a parallel to Master Belch from EarthBound and his weakness to Fly Honey.
The Pork Trooper first appears on the Highway, where he spots Lucas and co. exiting a tunnel. Mistaking him and his party for his commander and fellow Pigmasks, the Pork Trooper gives the party a Pork Bean to traverse the highway with. He then reappears after the party drives it over a banana peel and crashes it, offering to replace it; at this point, however, he realizes who the party really is, and attacks them for "fooling" him. Upon defeat, he retreats using the spare Pork Bean.
The Pork Trooper reappears in Thunder Tower, and surprises the party as they prepare to climb to the top of the tower. He blows the party's cover (which, ironically, he was responsible for establishing when they first met) and reveals that he is prepared for a rematch, having donned a "fiercer" blue outfit. However, he is defeated again and lets them through.
The Fierce Pork Trooper appears one last time in New Pork City, where he attends the upcoming DCMC concert. He cannot be fought here, as he wants to focus on enjoying the show.The Pork Trooper is used as the name of an unused enemy in the game's data, suggesting that a third encounter was planned.
The Pork Trooper is a powerful physical fighter who uses his bulk and high Offense stat to great effect. His battle theme is the aptly-named Misplaced Revenge.
During the first battle, he can bum rush a party member for (relatively) low damage, swing both arms around for medium damage to multiple targets, and use a powerful swing that also does medium damage and may induce forgetfulness. He can also jump onto a target and punch away at them for several low-damage hits.
Like most Pigmasks, the Pork Trooper can say nasty and horrible things to a party member to lower their offense. He can also raise his own offense with a Bufferizer and restore health with a Bag of Pork Chips. He may waste a turn smelling one of the characters.
The Fierce Pork Trooper is weak against Fire, and is also weak against DCMC items; as mentioned before, showing him one will cause him to be utterly mesmerized for a few turns, which he wastes by stewing in jealously, before turning back to normal. Upon defeat, he drops a Pickled Veggie Plate.
Thunder TowerEdit
The Fierce Pork Trooper and retains most of his initial attacks, save for the stat-changing moves. However, when damaged enough, his anger will peak, and his moveset will change. In addition to keeping the bum rush and jumping punch attacks, the Trooper may also go berserk and deal moderate damage to several targets; he may waste turns beating his chest like a gorilla.
Despite his higher stats, the Fierce Pork Trooper still retains his weaknesses to fire attacks and DCMC items.
In this battle, his battle sound is Battle Sound 1 which falls under Code Numbers 439 for regular attack, 440 for Smaaaash! and 441 for Miss.
- During the second encounter with the Pork Trooper, he refers to being in his "Handle With Care" time. This is a reference to the song, "Handle With Care", by the Traveling Wilburys, a band who included famous Beatles member, George Harrison.

Hi there,
I am looking to create a icon logo for my website. I really like the following two logos:
Does anyone have a link to an online tutorial (photoshop or illustrator) that creates something similar to those? I just need to get myself started with the basics and structure and then I can just mess around with it until I get something I like.
It's funny, actually, despite all of the tutorials available online, I don't think I remember ever coming across something related to logo design.
This is probably due to the amount of experience required and time it takes to fully work one out.
Here's a half-decent article about the processes required: http://vector.tutsplus.com/tutorials/designing/the-logo-design-process-for-ultimate-potential/

LONDON, July 30 /PRNewswire/ -- It's been a year since fashion designer Joanne Scott went through a cancer treatment that changed her life -- and made history to boot.
Ms. Scott, 54, was the first person in the world to receive an injection of tumor-activated natural killer (TaNK) cells as a treatment for leukemia.
Her doctors at the Royal Free Hospital in London recommended this experimental therapy after two years of traditional treatments, including chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant, failed to keep her in remission. Ms. Scott didn't expect it to work. "I thought that I was gonna get really sick again," she said, "like I had before."
But the new treatment succeeded where the others had failed, sparking hope among oncologists that TaNK cells could be the key to a new type of advanced cancer therapy.
Doctors at the Royal Free injected Ms. Scott with natural killer (NK) cells taken from her daughter, Tara, who was 21 at the time. The next day, Ms. Scott was able to go home from the hospital.
"I felt fine immediately. I was going out to dinner and things like that," Ms. Scott said. "It was really nice after all the other treatments I've had, which were very, very grueling."
The idea behind the new treatment is this: NK cells, which are part of the body's immune system, will target and fight any leukemia cells that survive chemotherapy if they are activated to fight the cancer. In cancer patients, however, the NK cells are not activated and do not attack the cancer cells.
Ms. Scott's doctors activated the cells they took from her daughter into TaNK cells, which can kill even NK-resistant tumors. Within a week of the injection, the TaNK cells had survived and multiplied. Within a month, a study of her bone marrow -- the site affected by the type of leukemia she had -- confirmed that the TaNK

One thing I didn't like is for me, unless you lived on the outskirts of the cities it was a lot further away than the twisties are here and they were generally not as well paved and cared for, not that they were bad. Honestly? The ride I miss the most in California is cruising up and down the PCH on a late afternoon. But now I go out through the beautiful desert and down trails filled with huge cactus and it's only 10 minutes from my house to get to that. Some one else even stated it and I agree, you can get into such desolation so quickly in the desert cities which is so incredibly nice, to get out in nature and away from the hustle. But again, it's totally dependent on what the person enjoys. We should be telling OP -ABOUT- the places and what makes them nice or what we enjoy about them, not arguing about which one is more awesome.
Also, no offense to anyone in uniform but trusting what the bike instructors say at Camp Pendleton is the biggest load of #%@$ I've ever heard. They work with the local dealers so the dealers can sell more bikes and their statistics are based completely off of what they say. Do you REALLY think Camp Pendleton (a marine base in California) has more motorcycles than the entire state of Texas? Arizona? Florida? Seriously man, get real.
Also, I had people cut me off all the time and even open doors on me when I was lane splitting (on purpose, in the street not the on the street parking but on the freeway).
Also, the only thing I was getting onto Xymotic about was exactly what you're telling me to do to him, giving people a break and not insulting why they like some where because they do. I've met people who absolutely LOVE and absolutely HATE just about everywhere.
Yeah, but your 'plus' is offset with 3 months of 100+ degree days, and a serious amount of 115-120 degree days. I think MOST people would say "ick" especially if you wear gear, and if you are a squid, sorry but the beach and lane splitting wins out again.
I didn't mean anything as an insult, but Phoenix was the most horrible atmosphere I've ever breathed in my life. #2 was Washington DC when I was a kid and walked out of the smithsonian I felt like I was beat up with body odor. and couldn't breathe. So jeeze when I say it's a nasty pit, I don't mean it to be insulting, (it's just a fact!)
Don't tell me that I'm wrong about my own personal experiences.
I like AZ fine, but I like Yuma and The Colorado River Valley a heck of a lot better than PHX. I like Utah, I like Nevada but they all have some major drawbacks regarding motorcycle riding that Socal just doesn't have.
I don't buy the pendleton thing either. I think Wa is #2 in motorcycle ownership
per capita
even ahead of FL & TX. It is amazing how many there are in the summer and how very very few I see out on the road with me in the winter
WA is also the only place I've had a driver actually aim for me and charge.

I am 26 and I am tired of not having a girlfriend
Hello, to start of with, I've been a sad and lonely person all my life. I had a really hard childhood but it made me a really motivated person. I... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
I feel sorry for you. But the only way your going to succeed in your desire for what you want, is to grow. I'm not saying "change", but "grow". You seem stubbornly inflexible in your desire to stay the same. You will NEVER get what you want that way.
What does it take? Drastic action. Going to therapists, reading books. These things are superficial. You need to take it into your own hands. Discover who you truly are. Explore the spiritual side to yourself- if you believe in that.or you inner self. Life is a journey of discovery- you sound like your stagnating.
being anti-social is a downward spiral.it gets worse. Being social gets easier the more you practice it.
One of the problems you also face is this: If you do find a women, what are the chances you can even make it work? With all of the qualities you described, you'd have to find someone as
socially inept as yourself. Now I don't mean to be harsh. I'm trying to shock you out of your complacency here.
This is a time for change. You have to make yourself a valuable commodity so that someone will see you as a potential mate.
Take care of yourself, go to the gym, try to make yourself look as good as possible. Dress well.
Learn new things.learn how to be a good lover. Read up on tantra, or the tao of sex, if the occasion should ever arise, that you meet a woman. Hey, the art of non-ejaculation, a very valued quality which is easily learnt, though rarely practiced- through lack of knowledge, can be learnt on your own.
this is your voyage. Make the best of what you have, and things can happen for you. I understand your feelings, because those same feeling have plagued me on occasion, but they are temporary, and I'm sure if, that if you undergo a DRASTIC attitude change- you will get what you want.
Make the change- only you can do it for yourself.
Thats dumb. I get more girls living in my moms house sleeping on the couch. The dude just needs confindence. For fuck sake my pops has a beer belly and my mother is a model. How is that possible? He makes her laugh. he's confident. There is no journey. A man is either a man or he is a boy. Boys go on journeys because they choose to learn things the hard way. A man gets what he wants cause he takes CONTROL of his life. How is it that a dude like Beetlejuice "The comedian" gets so many women and he is atrocious? Confidence. That is all you need in this world. I mean confidence and by that im not saying be cocky. Women hate insecure dudes. Take My friend Justin as an example, he's rich, looks like Robert Plant, plays guitar like Jimmy Hendrix "literally the guy is THAT talented" but he gets no women. Me on the other hand the bands bass player, the least talented member in the group gets all the women. I have confidence. Stop the fairy tales ladies and be men. Bitches dig that.
What Girls Said 3
So are you here to get help or just wanting attention from strangers in gag?
i suggest you just let go of your neg. Traits and just become a clean slate. If you can respond here to my post without rolling your eyes, secretly cussin people here for just trying to help or "they will never understand" lines running through your mind etc... Maybe that's a start to making a change. Babysteps for now.
omg a programmer? well that's why, most men that go into that are usually antisocial and a job like that can make it even harder to be social.you interest me because of all this stuff (just sayin)
and that really is how it is with the good girls going for assholes
this might sound totally out of line, but from the description you just gave, I picture someone a little shorter than average maybe.glasses.and not exactly a 'toned' body.am I right?
Wow.you don't think you can change at your age? We are grow and change all the time!
It sounds as though you lack the willingness it takes to move on and get what you want.
If you can't give love most of the time you can't recieve it either. You need some time away from everything and everyone and get your act togather and do some soul searching.
Your negative attitude won't win you any friends much less a girlfriend, so watch the pitfalls and do the work. If you want something bad enough, you'll do what is needed to make it happen!
One of the things that I hear from your question is, that you don't feel good about yourself.
You might try something different for a change because it just might make you feel better about the person that you are. Help someone.do something nice for them.without expecting anything in return. Get off your pity pot and do something. Its your life and you creature your own happiness or misery.which ever you choose!
What Guys Said 5
Dude first of all stop complaining it won't get you nowhere. This problem has a really easy solution. Read this book its called "The Tao Of Badass". Once you read that book you will never have problems with women again. One thing you have to understand is that women like to chase. You have to let them do that to you. Women don't always go to assholes. In fact it is the complete opposite. They only hang out with assholes an treat them like "place holders" until the right guy comes along. Women fear and loathe being alone, that's why there always with their friends. Women don't care about looks either, though it helps. The number one thing women find most attractive in a man is CONFIDENCE. What you need to do again is read that book. Trust me it will change your life. Another thing is if you want to get girls you have to be able to handle rejection. The real secret to successful men is that they ask about 20 girls out and probably succeed
with about 8 of them. Girls don't give a fuck if your Brad Pitt and drive a Ferrari. Play the numbers game. EMBRACE rejection, its fun because if you don't let it effect you, you will be very successful with girls. There is no real secret to getting girls dude. Women want sex just as bad as you do, in fact they want it more. Try this, if you want a girlfriend, really ask yourself why. Maybe you just want sex. Maybe you just want intimacy. The truth is the more you want a GF the less chance you'll get in attracting the right one for you. Relationships are always 50/50. As cliche as it sounds its true. You'll meet the right chick someday. For now just play the numbers game. If you shoot 50 shots in basketball your bound to make at least 5 shots, even if you SUCK! Getting girls is the same thing. If you ask out 40 girls You may get rejected by 35 of them, but at least 5 will give you a shot. Pick your head up your a man. Think primitive. Its a game. Love is blind as a bat. Just play the game. Better to be a player than a whinny boy.
I am the exact opposite I'm a nice guy who loves to help people even if it means i have to sacrifice something of my own, I'm just really shy and don't talk to girls in fact i get super nervous around them i want to settle down too find Ms right if you will, i don't use escort services cause i think using women for a price is wrong. i want to find a nice girl just to go out with and have a good, but like i said super shy i do have money too and i agree it doesn't make you happy at least not in the long term so that's my story just wanted to add my story in.
First, good girls (not the ones who are superficial and only go for the assholes) like to have interesting conversations. And if you really want to win a good girl over then you must learn how to make her laugh. And just FYI, only the stupid girls dig the assholes. They confuse assholeness and arrogance with confidence, and they are too stupid to recognize the difference. But luckily not all girls are that clueless. But l know being funny is not an easy task. If you want to learn how to be funny then a suggestion is to start watching comedy movies, cit-coms that are actually funny, [adult swim] on cartoon network, and stand up comedies on TV when you see them on. This will at least teach you what is means to have a sense of humor. But you cannot steal jokes from TV, because whomever you are talking to could always remember exactly who you stole that joke from and you will be lame.
Also get a male friend who possibly lives in your APT complex and have beers with him one day a week (or more). You need to learn how to keep a conversation interesting and totally avoid those awkward silence moments. You can only learn how by at least talking to a guy friend who won't care if there is awkward silence and puts no stress on you (especially if the two of you are drinking beer). So practice conversation with a friend (or friends if you meet more). And in a lesson in being selfless as opposed to being selfish, buy the beer. It would be even better if you learn how to BBQ and invite your friend (or hopefully friends) for BBQ and beer. You can become well liked among your new friend (or friends) if you do that. And they will want to talk to you and they will give you ample opportunity to learn how to talk to people and actually socialize.
So the point is you must at least learn how to socialize and be interesting with guys before you can socialize with girls. And try making your own jokes and smartass remarks with guys. You must first learn how to be funny around guys before you can learn how to be funny around girls. But then when you are around girls the whole atmosphere changes, because you can't always talk about the same things guys talk about and you can't always make dirty jokes around them. Hopefully your male friends will teach you more about this when you eventually talk to them.
You obviously didn't understand me talking about how antisocial I am. I can't explain it, but I am never goning to have a real friend
I dunno, I think it;s a good response, with good advice; if you;re not willing to try just because you are antisocial, then you have missed the point of asking for advice. it may not seem like something you can do, or even want to do, but you can at least give it a try.
When you are playing computer games, do you say funny, smartass, and sometimes downright offensive shit to your opponents? That's almost like socializing, and I guess it's a start.

Environmentalists believe that it is high time that Delhi and the NCR region have an authentic tree inventory with a census of its trees. This according to them will help them campaign harder against illegal felling and pruning of trees.
While cities like Mumbai, Pune and Chennai have already taken the lead in cataloguing information on their trees, Delhi is yet to make the big start. "There are several land owning agencies in Delhi that are responsible for maintenance of trees. Of them, the New Delhi Municipal Council carried out a tree census in 2005-06 in its areas including trees on roadsides and those in the parks and gardens. But a complete tree census for entire Delhi is still a pending matter," says Deputy Inspector General of Forests Subhash Chandra, who is also the former NDMC Horticulture Director.
So far, the green cover of Delhi has been gauged from satellite images provided by the Forest Survey of India. A detailed survey inclusive of all its plantations, parks and gardens, trees on the roads and inside the colonies is however crucial to Delhi since it houses a substantial tree cover apart from its forest areas.
"Tree census is definitely important, but we must be clear about what we want to accomplish through it. It is essential for conservation purposes. If we are planting 10 lakh saplings in a year, we must be able to monitor their survival rate, otherwise we would draw a false, inflated picture of the green cover," says Prabhakar Rao of Kalpavriksh, an environment action group.
A tree census does much more than establishing a tree count. It also gives an idea on the tree type and health, based on which broader conservation plans can be initiated in a scientific manner. In Delhi especially, where the green areas are always competing against frequent development projects due to utter land scarcity, a tree census becomes even more necessary.
Usually the city's municipal corporation is responsible for a tree census. Delhi, however, with its vast area and multiple agencies would surely need a streamlined plan to rope in all of them under an umbrella organization to avoid duplicity and lack of coordination. "Ideally, the forest department must be made in-charge for such a monumental task because they are highly trained to deal with ecology. They have the expertise and trained staff to carry out the work, but they definitely need more ground level staff," says Prabhakar.
Chandra echoes, "Delhi Forest Department can be the focal point for imparting training to various agencies with support from Forest Survey of India and Indian Council of Forestry Research and Education. I hope we can get support from many volunteers, who can work under supervision of professionals is required too."
Though official measures will take their own course, Delhi is not short of tree lovers. A resident of Sarvodya Enclave, Padmavati Dwivedi, who is also the founder of NGO Compassionate Living has been doing a tree count in her colony along with some like-minded people. Their tree inventory is very basic but comes handy. "Numbering a tree helps us to be very specific in our appeal in case a tree is being lopped or disappears. Our model can easily be emulated by other residents and RWAs, and can be encouraged through Bhagidari scheme to protect trees inside the colonies which often die a silent death," says Dwivedi.

Paul Burnes4 Stars Out Of 5Excellent starter for ethics classJune 21, 2013Paul BurnesQuality: 4Value: 4Meets Expectations: 4This book presents a series of moral problems in the world today. It discusses each in a frank and totally biblical manner. It is an excellent place to begin teaching and a good source for discussion. I use it in our discipleship program when we discuss ethics and morality.
Lillian Greer4 Stars Out Of 5February 7, 2009Lillian GreerThe title caught my attention immediately. Trust it does also make reference to Micah 6:8. Heard of a professor at an Ivy League School who had this (Micah 6:8) as a motto and posted in his classroom.

I used to think a leader was someone who knows a lot, talks a lot, and works a lot.
Old friends. Mom's home cooking. Your favorite pair of jeans. There's something undeniably comforting about the familiar.
In the middle of one of my many job interviews, time stopped for a second.
I was visiting with some ministry partners recently. They told the story of their visit with a young woman who works with a different campus ministry.
So many of us have experienced it. We hear an inspiring sermon or we encounter Jesus at a retreat and cannot wait to do more for him.
Barack Obama. Tony Blair. BBC. Fox. Bono. And most of my Facebook friends, both from the years I lived in South Africa and now back in the U.S.
I remember sitting on a couch a couple years ago across from my spiritual director explaining why I felt like a failure.
As the school year starts, we are once again inundated with activities large and small.

State candidates steer clear of Akin
INDIANAPOLIS - Two of Indiana's candidates for statewide office – a Democrat and a Republican – are distancing themselves from a Missouri congressman under fire for comments on rape.
Rep. Joe Donnelly, the Democratic candidate for Senate, and Rep. Mike Pence, the Republican candidate for governor, were among the 227 co-sponsors of a 2011 measure that was intended to keep tax dollars from paying for abortions in most cases.
Also a co-sponsor: Rep. Todd Akin, the Republican U.S. Senate nominee in Missouri who told a St. Louis television station that pregnancies are rare in cases of "legitimate rape" because "the female body has ways to try to shut the whole thing down."
He later claimed that when he used the word "legitimate," he meant "forcible" – the word that made the 2011 measure that Akin, Donnelly and Pence all co-sponsored controversial in the first place.
In its original form, that measure would have limited the types of rape victims who are eligible for abortion coverage through taxpayer-funded programs such as Medicaid.
It allowed coverage for victims of "forcible rape," but opponents pointed out that including such a word would then seem to block victims of statutory rape, incest, and potentially others from being eligible for coverage.
The measure was quickly amended in a House committee to remove the word "forcible," bringing it into line with current law, as most co-sponsors – Pence and Donnelly included – said they had not intended to create separate classes of rape victims.
Pence's spokeswoman said his decision to sign on as a co-sponsor is in line with his consistent opposition to abortion rights, and that he supported the change to remove the word "forcible."
"Mike Pence has always supported legislation to prevent taxpayer-funded abortion on demand. He supported the Manager's Amendment" – a term referring to a change agreed to by both sides ahead of time – "in the House Judiciary Committee which changed the language in question," she said.
In 2011, Donnelly said he was not initially aware that the measure could have limited the eligibility of some rape victims for abortion coverage – and that once that issue was raised, he was glad to see it amended.
"Rape is a violent and despicable act in every circumstance. It is my firm belief that our laws should always reflect that fact," he said then.
His campaign's spokeswoman, Elizabeth Shappell, said Donnelly's position has not changed.
"Joe is pro-life and supports legislation to ensure that no federal dollars go toward funding abortion-related services," she said.
"That was the original intention of the bill, not to redefine rape. As he said at the time, he would have voted against this bill if it had not been amended to remove the word 'forcible.'"
A Southwestern Indiana congressman – U.S. Rep. Larry Bucshon, the Republican from Newburgh – became a co-sponsor of the measure only after it had cleared a House committee with the word "forcible" already removed.
"Congressman Bucshon objected to the original language in the bill and cosponsored the bill only after certain language was removed during the legislative process," said Bucshon's spokesman, Matthew Ballard.

Happiness is not a destination.....It is a way of life
I'm happy: I make the best out of every situation. I believe life is all about how we perceive it. I'm loving: I have a huge heart, I love to give, I love to help, I love to love. I'm honest: I can't lie.....I just can't, no two ways about it. I'm fun: I love to laugh, especially at myself. If you don't, life will make you crazy! And it's too short not to have FUN! I'm a non-Denominational Christian: My Faith is very important to me. I'm not perfect and realize no one is, but I try to always keep myself filled with positive things, and always do what is right. I like to listen to inspirational messages. I want someone who feels the same. I'm independent: I have a good job. I don't NEED a man, rather I desire one who I WANT to be in my life; and who feels the same way. I'm motivated: I go after what I want. I don't believe in letting life pass me by! I'm laid back: It doesn't take a lot to please me. I'm happy dressed up for a night out, or hanging out at home with dinner and a movie. Yes, I'll watch a football game =) I take care of myself; physcially, mentally and emotionally. I work out about 4 days a week, I eat healthy, and I think about what I am thinking about! And I try to always keep it positive and fun! I'm not dating to figure out what I want. I know what I want. I'm dating to find it....having said that, I'm not into casual dating. I believe if there is a spark there, you know it, and I don't beleive in wasting our time if "it's" not there. I have one child: She's 6 years old and she's a DOLL =) She's my mini-me and I love her more than anything in the world. I believe true beauty is on the inside. I'm not a typical "dallas girl"....... I believe in the "whole package" thing. I'm not looking for perfection, just the perfect one for me =) I'm a big-hearted, genuine, down to earth person. Any questions, just ask! AND BY THE WAY....IF YOU'RE INTERESTED I'd love to hear from you..... I don't bite. But I'm NOT into game playing :)

The Only Difference Between a Good Day and a Bad Day is Your Attitude
Looking for someone who wants to explore beyond their surroundings and knows how to let loose and have some fun! I love to travel and see new things. I like to stay active and enjoy finding new ways to keep things fresh. Just because I like to explore and stay active doesn't mean that I don't love a good night in watching a movie or just hanging out. Not really into the club scene but I do love hanging at a Pub on a Sunday afternoon watching a football game or hanging with friends on a Saturday night at a local spot.

Yes. Really. It's the idea that a little bitty engine can be made to split time into such accurate components. Unless you are lost at sea with a watch, tables and sextant and no radio with which to set your watch is accuracy REALLY critical.
But I tell you what, how accurate that watch is out of the box determines how much I like that watch. I have a watch I like everything about except that it runs way too far off - like a half minute a day. I find that just annoying.

Tank Abbott Returns to the Cage | MMA NEWS
47 year-old Tank Abbott is slated to make his return to professional fighting at King of the Cage's April 13 fight, dubbed "Fighting Legends." After a three-year absence from fighting, Abbott (10-14) will face fellow heavyweight, Ruben "Warpath" Viallareal (20-25-3), in the headline fight. Tank Abbott is perhaps best known for his days in the early UFC tournaments and his more recent EliteXC fight against internet sensation, Kimbo Slice. Abbott's last fight resulted in a 29-second KO of Mike Bourke in February of 2009. His opponent, Warpath, has fought some notable fighters such as Bas Rutten, current UFC top contender, Antonio "Big Foot" Silva, and former UFC stars, Don Fry and Dan Severns. He is coming off two consecutive losses in the spring of 2012.
The two will meet in the main event of the KOTC card at the Gold Country Casino in Oroville, CA on April 13. Also on the card will be a light heavyweight title fight between champion, Trevor Prangley, and challenger, Dan Molina. KOTC released a promo for this fight on their Facebook page earlier this week.
2 Responses to "Tank Abbott Returns to the Cage | MMA NEWS"
he will just hurt his body even more, its time to hang the gloves tank
I have to go on record saying Dana's really always been a douche and everybody needs to stand up to him now before its too late we should all no longer buy ppv until Dana can go without bashing any of past present and future fighters who built the UFC and stop taking credit for the UFC sucess. Please this is for the fighters it's time someone stands up too him. Also time for someone to stand up for fighters in UFC and start a union to protect the fighters
yeah… I'm sure the whole world is gonna stop buying ppv events or watching big name fights just because DW is a douche! look i dont agree with how Dana treats the fighters past or present. but just because he is a controlling egotistical a$$hole doesn't mean that us as FANS of MMA should take money out of the fighters pockets because of one douche bag!
Now back to the article. Tank its time to hang the gloves up man, you were once great and unstoppable. but now you are past your prime WAY PAST it, the REAL fans would never think any less of you for hanging the gloves now that being said I would like to thank you for your involvement for the sport you help create!
Might just need the money….cant blame him for that…
I dont agree with you. Dana is brutally honest. I see nothing wrong with that. Just because hes not like Rodger Godell or any other major sports president/ceo/owner does not mean hes a douche. he runs things the way he wants to. he says what he wants to. its his business and he has every right to do that. no matter how much of a douche he is. hes still going to get alot of ppv buys. sell out arenas. and still sign the best fighters in mma to his organization. thats not going to change
Your rite about Dana.. He's a total chode.. Super douche… I can't wait till I hear of somebody Layin that fool out… They had better hope I'm not on the jury…. cuz whoever does it… Will walk….
Stop buying PPV cuz Dana White is a douche?? Listen girl, Dana is a business man and a fight fan. Those two combined give you what you see and here.
That urge to fight once again after a grueling phase of retirement could turn out to be a terrible decision. I don't know… He's 47 y/o, 10–14 and did I say he's 47? He may have helped the UFC establish its name but sometimes you have to let go of the things you love. You could always show some love towards in other more convenient ways. 😀
*towards IT in*
i want Tank to sit on my face all night.. then in the moring we can spoon
T.DADDY's true feelings (and disturbing one's at that!)… he's just too scared to post under his own name. No doubt he's been banned by now seeing how BJPenn.com has been throwing out the trash and I haven't seen him lately, but I do see there's a "Big Daddy" commenting now.. what are the odds.. lol
Tank was never great, he was good at beating dudes half his size, he should of retired as soon as they introduced weight classes, brock lesnar would be good at beating welterweights as well lol
So John Mutua and Paul Verlans were half his size? You're an idiot. He never evolved with the sport because he loved it for what it was when he started. FIGHTING. You fight him his address is online go to his house, knock on his door and say hey you suck ass I want to kick your ass. See how it goes. Other wise stop talking shit about a past his prime fighter online using a fake name Fucking pussy.
That is sad.
Not sure what else there is to say.
saw some vid on the internet of tank in a backyard fight against some dude he once fought in ufc. i guess some fan paid them for a 'rematch'. it was freakin' pathetic. both of them gassed out, tank on this guy's back doing nothing, lots of stumbling around, winging wild shots. it was all i could do to watch it. tanks ufc days were a long time ago. the sport has come a loooooong way. tank hasn't. just gotten older, fatter and slower. needs to be protected from himself.
scott ferrozo
Next article reads…. Tank dies in the cage!
Tank was never any good. He is not and never has been an athlete.He had some success in the early days of UFC, but he doesn't have a fraction of the talent the younger guys have now. The days of people like Tank and Kimbo are long gone. MMA is for serious athletes now.
10-14 all you need to say.
What happened to spell-check? Dan Severns? and Don Fry? Tank still has his power I'm sure.
Rampage said the same thing
Haha i see tank shopping at my grocery store all the time. Cool guy

Ubuntu Developers Summit 2010 in Brussels in May
The next Ubuntu Developer Summit (UDS) takes place May 10-14 in Brussels, according to Jono Bacon, Ubuntu community manager.
The next Ubuntu Developer Summit should give developers the schedule for the next release, which is version 10.10. The exact venue, as Jono Bacon announced, is at the Dolce La Hulpe Hotel and Resort in Brussels, May 10-14. In addition to developers sponsored by Canonical, numerous Ubuntu supporters who work on the free platform in their free time will attend.
Canonical's sponsorship provisions cover costs for flights and accommodations, although only in limited number. Applications are open until March 26 and allow the chance to present your own contributions to Ubuntu development.
Bacon says that it is important to note that UDS is not a conference. Bacon says the event is a participatory discussion-based summit with a goal of determining the aspects of the next Ubuntu release. He says attendees should be prepared to participate in the sessions actively.
