In Silk Stones: Works by Rochelle Rubinstein
Yeshiva University Museum Showcases Visual Poet of Transformed Objects
By: Culture Staff
-Rochelle Rubinstein
New York City, March 30, 2012 – In painstakingly rendered and beautifully textured works, Rochelle Rubinstein fuses personal experience, Jewish textual tradition, and bold artistic process. Now, Yeshiva University Museum is showcasing this daring Canadian artist in her second U.S. solo show.
On view through May 6, Silk Stones: Works by Rochelle Rubinstein takes its name from Rubinstein's extraordinary use of materials. By combining and manipulating traditional artistic techniques, Rubinstein creates mesmerizing visual effects that play tricks on the eye and emphasize the artist's hand.
Rubinstein uses multiple techniques – printing and painting, carving and piercing, overlapping and erasing – and reworks individual pieces, often returning to them after months or years. The wide range of media in Silk Stones includes printed and embroidered silk; carved, printed and painted wood panels; sculptural forms and digital prints.
At the center of Silk Stones: two installations built around books. A bookshelf, custom-built in the gallery, holds biblical texts that Rubinstein has refashioned with her own words and images. And hanging from the gallery's ceiling is a mesmerizing ten-foot high installation of richly decorated handmade books, unfolded to reveal deeply personal contents.
Rubinstein's relationship to Judaism inspires and charges her work. "I think back to the beginning of my art- making and am reminded that it was in part an escape from the conformity and rules of my Orthodox upbringing," Rubinstein says. At the same time, the artist's work reveals a steady engagement with Biblical and other Jewish sources.
"Rochelle's work reflects a deeply personal absorption of core Jewish texts and customs," said Dr. Jacob Wisse, director of Yeshiva University Museum. "Viewers will be moved by the direct and sensitive way she interprets and reacts to traditional sources, as they will be the rich beauty of her work and the intensity of her process."
In "Kaddish", one of Rubinstein's most talked-about works, she carved the Jewish mourning prayer obsessively into a wood block after being excluded from saying it at her father's shiva. She continued printing, painting, and carving lines into the work for a year, sensing its completion a year later – almost to the day when her period of mourning had ended. Both abstract and familiar, "the work questions whether the body's memory, or the divine or unseen workings of the universe, helped to determine the dramatic and timely finishing act," she says.
Another striking piece, "The Village" depicts a nearly abstract landscape of tiny homes on printed, painted, and carved wood panels. The work was inspired by a Sherpa village in the Himalayas. "I found myself attaching memories of various villages and suburbs from my own life to this piece," Rubinstein says. "The similarity of the buildings evokes the pressures and limitations of conformity. Embedded in the layers of this work are the beauties of family love and devotion, but also the constraints and punishments of organized religion."
Rubinstein's singular vision also infuses "House of Learning" – a structure wrapped in printed, painted, and embroidered silk that resembles rough stone – along with "Wood Camp" and "Silk Camp," which repurpose aerial photographs of Auschwitz-Birkenau into haunting, semi-recognizable images at once abstract and eloquent.
"Silk Camp," like much of Rubinstein's art, is a work in progress; museum visitors will get a rare chance to watch Rubinstein's extraordinary process in action as she embroiders and embellishes this beautiful work. Over four Wednesdays through the run of the exhibition, she will continue working on "Silk Camp" – on March 28, April 18, April 25, and May 2, from 6-8pm.
The exhibition represents a homecoming of sorts for Rubinstein. In 1974, she became the first art major to graduate from Stern College for Women, the women's undergraduate college of Yeshiva University.

For example, on the issue of marriage, 62 percent of those polled agreed that "marriage should be defined only as a union between one man and one woman." That means nearly two-thirds of those polled believe marriage should remain what it has been for so many millennia, rather than be changed to accommodate the demands of the homosexual agenda.
All of this demonstrates that the Left doesn't use polls to gauge public opinion as much as to form it.

AstraZeneca: Headwinds to remain challenging, FT reports
After reporting a 6% y/y decline in revenue to $6.84B, AstraZeneca CEO Pascal Soriot says he believes headwinds will remain challenges as the company faces more patent losses on Nexium and Crestor drugs over the next two years, the Financial Times reports. At the same time, Soriot believes the company can return to growth quicker than expected and believes 2017 revenues will be "broadly in line" with 2013.

Roche submits filing to FDA for companion diagnostic for NSCLC drug therapy
Roche announced it has submitted the cobas EGFR Mutation Test v2 for Premarket Approval, or PMA, to the FDA, as a companion diagnostic test for AZD9291, an AstraZeneca (AZN) investigational therapy for non-small cell lung cancer patients with an acquired resistant mutation. Patients with non-small cell lung cancer who have adenocarcinoma with tumor containing an EGFR sensitizing mutation show significant benefit from currently available EGFR TKI therapies. However, approximately two-thirds of these patients will relapse and develop drug resistance. In many cases, this resistance is caused by an acquired mutation called T790M. The cobas EGFR v2 test can aid clinicians to appropriately select NSCLC patients who have acquired the T790M mutation and are most likely to benefit from AstraZeneca's novel therapy.

Genzyme acquires Caprelsa from AstraZeneca for $300M
Genzyme, a Sanofi (SNY) company, announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement with AstraZeneca (AZN) to acquire Caprelsa, a rare disease therapy, indicated for the treatment of symptomatic or progressive medullary thyroid carcinoma in patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic disease. Caprelsa is an oral kinase inhibitor treatment and is currently available in 28 countries. Caprelsa is in Phase III development for differentiated thyroid carcinoma, with the study expected to finish in the second half of 2015. Under the terms of the agreement, Genzyme will pay AstraZeneca up to $300M, including an upfront payment of $165M to acquire the global rights to sell and further develop Caprelsa, and further development and sales milestone payments of up to $135M. The transaction does not include the transfer of any AstraZeneca employees or facilities.

Piper cuts Array target by only 50c after failed trial
Piper Jaffray analyst Edward Tenthoff says selumetinib for Uveal Melanoma is a small indication and represented only a small part of his valuation for Array BioPharma (ARRY). As such, after partner AstraZeneca (AZN) announced that selumetinib failed in the Phase III trial, the analyst cut his price target for Array by only 50c to $14.50. The primary drivers for Array remain binimetinib and encorafenib in NRAS and BRAF melanoma and low-grade serous ovarian cancer, the analyst tells investors in a research note. He keeps an Overweight rating on the stock.

AstraZeneca says Phase 3 study of selumetinib did not meet primary endpoint
AstraZeneca (AZN) announced that the Phase 3 SUMIT study of selumetinib in combination with dacarbazine for the treatment of patients with metastatic uveal melanoma did not meet its primary endpoint of progression free survival. This combination therapy showed an adverse event profile generally consistent with current knowledge of the safety profiles of dacarbazine and selumetinib. A full evaluation of the data is ongoing. Selumetinib is a MEK inhibitor in late-stage development, with a primary Phase 3 program in second-line KRAS-mutant advanced non-small cell lung cancer in combination with docetaxel. Selumetinib is also being investigated in a Phase 3 study in differentiated thyroid cancer and in a Phase 2 registration study in patients with neurofibromatosis Type 1. Selumetinib is an oral small molecule MEK inhibitor invented by Array BioPharma (ARRY) and licensed to AstraZeneca in 2003.

Nets betting on Brooklyn, new building to sell free agents
Jul 28, 2011, 11:21 AM EDT
Sometimes, franchises need to change from the ground up.
That's what the New Jersey Nets are doing — new owner (a billionaire Russian playboy), a new star player in Deron Williams (who they are trying to keep) and a new building.
The Nets were showing off that new building — the $1 billion Barclay's center, set to open in the fall of 2012 — this week, with GM Billy King singing the praises of moving to Brooklyn, according to the Daily News.
"Players say they want to be in New York. Well, we're going to be in New York," King said Wednesday during a tour of the construction site with reporters. "We have the best owner, and we're going to have the best building. We'll have all the tools. If a guy doesn't want to play here, he doesn't want to play in the city…"
"You have (Madison Square) Garden and you have this," King said. "I would equate this to the United Center in Chicago, and what this did for the area of Chicago. Or the Staples Center, and what it did to that part of L.A. I think this will do the same thing for this area. A lot of people fought it. But I think once it's built, they'll realize five or six years from now this area will be booming."
It's a good sales pitch. If it will work is another question. There is a lot of history and a reputation to overcome among players, but if the Nets can lure one more star to play with Williams for when they open the new building in the fall of 2012 they may have something.
Let's just hope the next time the Nets take the court it's not in this half-built arena.

Can we drop the "New Jersey" part of their team name already?
- thetooloftools - Jul 28, 2011 at 3:38 PM
Yea well… the Bulls are the Bulls, The Knicks are the Knicks and The Lakers are The Lakers.
Your the Nets.
Know your role and win something before you start running smack about how great things are going to be.
You sound like The Heat.

Low levels of vitamin D linked to brain damage
Washington: A new research has suggested that a diet low in vitamin D causes damage to the brain.
In addition to being essential for maintaining bone health, newer evidence shows that vitamin D serves important roles in other organs and tissue, including the brain.
The UK study led by University of Kentucky researchers showed that middle-aged rats that were fed a diet low in vitamin D for several months developed free radical damage to the brain, and many different brain proteins were damaged as identified by redox proteomics.
These rats also showed a significant decrease in cognitive performance on tests of learning and memory.
"Given that vitamin D deficiency is especially widespread among the elderly, we investigated how during aging from middle-age to old-age how low vitamin D affected the oxidative status of the brain," lead author of the study Allan Butterfield, said. "Adequate vitamin D serum levels are necessary to prevent free radical damage in brain and subsequent deleterious consequences."
Previously, low levels of vitamin D have been associated with Alzheimer's disease, and it's also been linked to the development of certain cancers and heart disease.
The study was published in Free Radical Biology and Medicine.

EXQUSITE 1920's MANDALIAN ART DECO MESH PURSE
I try my best to give accurate descriptions of my listings. I have taken many photos of the purse so you will have a clear description. Sometimes my photos turn out bright or lighter, depending on the time of day I take them....Please feel free to email me with any questions.
I FINALLY FOUND THE CRATE MY MOM KEPT HER MOST BEAUTIFUL, PRIZED, PRISTINE MANDALIAN AND WHITING & DAVIS PURSES FROM HER COLLECTION... I WILL BE LISTING SEVERAL OF THEM OVER THE NEXT SEVERALWEEKS... Creme de la Creme.
A LITTLE HISTORY OF METAL MESH BAGS...Metal mesh bags were hand made by skilled gold and silversmiths as early as the 1820's. In 1909, the mesh making machine was invented by A.C. Pratt of Newark, New Jersey. By 1912, mesh handbags had become extremely popular and in demand.
By the 1920's mesh bags were offered in a large spectrum of colors and fashionable designs, including enameled, Dresden and pearlized enamel finishes. Fabulous enameled flat mesh purses, known as armored mesh, were offered in varied colors and a constant parade of unusual patterns. Most of the bags made from 1929 to 1932 were patterned by silk screening where the baby ring mesh took on a soft, hazy, romantic appearance much like a blurred water color. This technique was done by hand over several days by applying one color at a time and allowing 24 hours of drying between colors.
I will be happy to combine shipping.
I guarantee my items to be as described, so you can offer with confidence (refunds less fees).
Thank you for looking.
Have an amazing day.

Girl with the Million Dollar Legs
Year: 1987
Director: Jack Remy
Distributor: n/a
Country: US
Language: English
Length: 85 min
Actress: Marilyn Jess, Porsche Lynn, Kirstie Devereaux, Barbra Braun, Caroline Parks, Doris Folk, [Anal, DP]
Actors: Rocco Siffredi, (aka Rocco Lorenzo)Paul Thomas, Gabriel Pontello, Andre Kay, Dominique Saint-Clair, Pascal Saint-James, (aka Danny Verneauville)
Twenty years is an awfully long time, but after two decades, Johnny Blue (Paul Thomas) is finally getting his second shot at love. Shelly Anderson (Porsche Lynn) certainly has the best legs in town, but when she shows up at Johnny's club on the day of the premilinary judging for the "Girl with The Million Dollar Legs" contest, she tells them that she really isn't interested in entering the competition. She only wants a job… any job. Johnny checks her out, and after testing one of their Manhattana, offers her a job as a bartender. She accepts his offer. A french reporter named Ben (Dominique St. Clair) shows up to interview all of the contestants. He thinks that Shelly is making a big mistake by not entering the contest. He tries to convince her but instead she turns him onto one of the other girls (Doris Folk) who is more than anxious to show him some of her varied talents. His "in-depth" interview results in one very hot article for his paper. Meanswhile, Johnny and Shelly discover each other, and end up as lovers, but on the night of the big contest, Shelly is finally pursuaded to enter the competition. She walks on with the title, but a big-time promoter, Edouard Versailles (Gabriel Pontello), whisks her away to fame and fortune. He tells Johnny that "this one is different". Is Shelly different? Let's just say that we still believe in happy endings!!!

The Other Side of the Family
Posted August 2, 2015on:
- In: Family
- 15 Comments
I shared information about my mother´s mother´s family (Hoffman) so I think it only fair I share something of my mother´s father´s side of the family (Mehrer). Both families were German immigrant farmers from South Russia and came to Canada at the beginning of the 20th century to help populate and develop the prairie provinces.
While in Calgary last month I stopped in to visit my grandfather's only living sister, Meta, and her husband Lex. They still live in their own home and put out a garden every year. At 91, Great Aunt Meta is in great shape and shared a wonderful story about her parents, my great grandparents, when they first settled on the homestead in southern Alberta.
As told to me by Meta (Mehrer) Davis
April 1912
Father was out turning sod, when he had some trouble with the horses. He called to Mother, who came across the road, leaving the little ones in the house, thinking she would only be a few minutes. It took a long time before she returned – to an empty house. Panic-stricken she rushed out, calling the little ones but all that greeted her was silence. After searching the yard she returned to the house wondering what she could say to their father.
In the Kitchen, on one of the walls there were six large hooks on which to hang heavy garments. On one of these hooks hung the long, black wool coat that Dad had brought from Europe. A long bench sat underneath. As she entered the kitchen she noticed a slight movement of the coat. She pulled it to one side and there sat four little people, sleeping and perspiring. John holding the baby and a little girl on each side of him.
He explained to his mother that she was gone so long that he decided to keep them safe in case someone came to take them away.
Note: It was not uncommon for children to be abducted in Europe in the 1800s and John had heard these stories. Their ages at the time Baby (Frieda) one year old, Martha 2 ½ years, Beth 4 years and John 5 ½ years.
It was my dear grandfather, John, who protected his siblings all those years ago. He is the gentleman sitting on the far left in the family picture. Aunt Meta is standing beside him. He married my grandmother, had six children, thirty-two grandchildren and many great grandchildren. I remember him as a kind and caring man, always making sure his family was safe.
I also had the opportunity to visit my grandfather´s only surviving brother, Great Uncle Paul. (He is the little boy between the great grandparents in the family picture above). He is 86 years old, the same age as Mom. He also lives in the same care home as my mom so she gets to see him often. He, along with his brother, Great Uncle Andrew, farmed the original homestead, until fairly recently. He also had many interesting stories to tell me.
I wrote about the 100 year celebration of the Mehrer family here if you wish to learn more about this side of the family.
It was so wonderful to spend time with my grandfather´s siblings and hear stories about him and the family. I just wish I had spent more time with him when he was with us, as Grandpa loved to share stories.
Do you have any old timers in the family that enjoy sharing stories of the past?

It´s been a year since we launched Amanda in Alberta – The Writing on the Stone. To celebrate I am a guest on the fabulous blog site Mother Daughter Book Reviews
Guest Post: Amanda in Alberta | Darlene Foster.
Book Description:
Amanda has travelled to some interesting places like the United Arab Emirates, Spain and England. She has always enjoyed herself, in spite of the dangerous situations she has found herself in. This time her BFF, Leah from England, is coming to visit her in Alberta. Will she be able to find enough fun things for them to do? After all it is only Alberta, her home province in Canada.

A couple of posts ago I showed this picture of my great grandparents, Henry and Katharina Hoffman taken when they arrived in Canada in 1909. They came from South Russia with three children, had one on the way to the homestead in Alberta (my grandmother) and had seven more once settled. This picture was taken much later with the surviving children. My grandmother is standing, third from the right. This picture of Great Grandmother and Great Grandfather Hoffman at their 50th Anniversary, in 1954, shows all the children and their spouses. My grandparents are the second couple on the right. The only one still with us is Great Uncle Tony, married to my grandmother´s sister Ann. (First couple on the left) The descendants of these brave, hardworking people have been meeting every five years for the past 30 years at The Hoffman Reunion. The reunions are organized by a different family group each time. This year the reunion was organized by the Raymond Becker family, descendants of Great Aunt Lindina, one of the little girls on the original picture. It is a lot of work and they did a great job. I am so glad I crossed the Atlantic to attend.
It was so great to see all my many cousins, aunts and uncles. We ate fabulous German food, caught up on news, reminisced, played cards and board games, looked at old pictures, shared hugs and ate some more. Being together was all that mattered. Family pictures were taken and loved ones no longer with us fondly remembered. I brought my 14 year old grandson and my 8 year old great granddaughter, who had a fabulous time. I was able to take mom out of the nursing home for a couple of hours to attend. At 86 she was almost the oldest person there. 136 attended this reunion; out of over 250 descendants spread all over the world, that is a good turn out. The youngest was 11 days old, the oldest 91.
A popular event, after the German meal and Hoffman Olympics, is the silent auction. Family members donate items and others bid on them to raise funds for the next reunion in five years. The bidding is fierce as everyone vies for cherished items such as hand knitted afghans, homemade wine, jams, pickles and many other treasures. There is much friendly competition, no one gets hurt and most leave with something to take home.
You can see my great granddaughter had a lot of fun and met many relatives she didn't´t know she had.
Every time I attend these events, I feel so blessed to belong to such a large loving family that stays in touch with each other, no matter where we live.
Note: not all the pictures were taken by me. Some were taken by cousins!

I just returned from a trip home to Alberta, Canada, where I attended my grandson´s graduation and a large family reunion, visited many friends and relatives and spent quality time with mom, my son and his family. Needless to say I had a wonderful time. I´ll let the pictures tell the story.
So glad I could be there for this important occasion.
I saw many relatives I hadn´t seen for some time, including my 91 year old great aunt and her husband in Calgary, my dad´s 90 year old brother and my 86 year old great uncle in Medicine Hat. Always good to see them and hear their wonderful stories, some of which I plan to share on this blog.
I´ll write more about the family reunion which deserves its own post.

It´s now day 5 of the Five Day Challenge. This is how it works: Post a photo each day for five consecutive days and attach a story to the photo. It can be fiction or non-fiction, a poem or a short paragraph and each day nominate another blogger for the challenge.
This is my picture for day 5
Family Picture 1909
This is one of my favourite family pictures. As you can see it is very old. It is of my Great Grandfather and Great Grandmother, Henry and Katherina Hoffman, my great Uncle Gust and Great Aunts, Tillie and Lindina. Great Grandmother is expecting my grandmother in this picture. The family had just arrived in Canada from South Russia. As Germans living in South Russia, they could no longer stay due to the political climate at the time. After crossing the Atlantic in a cattle ship, they were about to travel by train across Canada to their homestead in southern Alberta. The journey was delayed by a stop in Winnipeg, Manitoba, where my grandmother, Lydia, was born. Once settled on the prairies, Great Grandmother gave birth to nine more children. I remember her as a strong, hardworking woman who always put family first.
This will be my last blog for a couple of weeks as I am travelling to Canada soon to attend a Hoffman family reunion in southern Alberta where the many descendants of these hardy, brave individuals will celebrate with food and stories, and carry on the tradition of family get-togethers. I expect to see well over one hundred relatives. We are all forever grateful that these incredible people made the decision to immigrate to Canada when they did.
Now I would like to nominate Marylin at Things I want to Tell my Mother Marylin writes wonderful stories about her mother, before the onset of Alzheimer´s, in a compassionate and often humorous style. You will enjoy her blog.
Thank you so much for following these posts.

About The Five Day Challenge: Post a photo each day for five consecutive days and attach a story to the photo. It can be fiction or non-fiction, a poem or a short paragraph and each day nominate another blogger for the challenge.
The Four Bears
The four bears, Elvis, Ted, Tootsie and Spot, lived on a farm with a little girl who loved them very much. She played with them everyday and made up adventure stories for them. The little girl grew up, as little girls do, and moved to the city. She put them in a box and seldom took them out or told them stories. She had children of her own who had their own special teddy bears. She moved to a bigger city and then to an even bigger city by the ocean. The box with the four bears always went with her. But the box was never opened and the bears had not seen the light of day for many, many years. Then one day, the girl, who was now a grandmother, was cleaning out a storage locker when she opened a dusty old box. "My teddies!" she shouted. She hugged each one, cleaned them up and aired them out. "You are coming with me," she said. They didn´t argue. They always went with her. Elvis, Ted, Tootsie and Spot were put back in a box and travelled across the ocean. A few months later, when the box was opened, they were greeted with brilliant sunshine and heard a familiar voice say, "Welcome to Spain!"
Now I would like to nominate Nancy over at Living the Seasons. A visit to her site is a must. She is an excellent photographer, her posts are great to look at and enjoyable to read. She has a wonderful sense of humour and every now and then lets the beagle write a post!

Darlene in the Desert
This is a picture of me in the desert of the United Arab Emirates. I visited a friend, a few years ago, who was working there at the time. I had such an amazing experience. When I returned home, I knew I had to write about it. Six months later, I started a story about a twelve year old girl who travels to the UAE and has an adventure. This story eventually became Amanda in Arabia – The Perfume Flask, my first published novel. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. In my case it turned out to be fifteen thousand words. Like me, Amanda has done more travelling since.
Now I would like to nominate Fatima Saysell at Welcome to My World to do the 5 day challenge. Fatima was born and raised in Spain, lives in England and travels to France for holidays whenever she can. Hop on over to her blog where she shares great pictures and writes about her wonderful camping trips to France.
I am having fun with this challenge, hope you are enjoying the short daily posts.

You could look at Erick Silva's second UFC fight and his controversial loss – one that snapped a nine-fight win streak – and wonder how it's hindered his UFC progress. Silva, though, said it was probably the best thing that ever happened to his career.
Silva, the explosive Brazilian welterweight who knocked out Luis Ramos in his UFC debut, then got former WEC title challenger Carlos Prater in his next bout at UFC 142 in early 2012.
Silva leveled Prater and stopped him with punches in 29 seconds, and he immediately celebrated the violent knockout win. But mere seconds later, referee Mario Yamasaki ruled Silva's hammerfists illegal (since they landed to the back of the head, following a few warnings), and Prater was awarded the win via disqualification.
"That fight changed my career significantly," Silva told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). "No one knew me before that fight. That changed fast. When talking about UFC Rio 2, many people may not recall the card, but they remember that young man who lost by disqualification.
"In a way, something very positive came out of it. I don't think I would change a thing about it. I trained a lot to do exactly what I did. I used my explosiveness, my aggression, and I took the fight to Prater. I wouldn't change that. I do think the ref jumped the gun, but I feel fine about it now. It's in the past. People ask me if I harbor any bad feelings against the ref or Carlo. I don't. I'm at peace with it. In my eyes, I won that fight, even if that's not what the record may say."
Since then, Silva (14-3 MMA, 2-2 UFC) has earned a submission win over Charlie Brenneman, and in his most recent bout, he suffered a decision loss to former title challenger Jon Fitch in UFC 153's "Fight of the Night." On Saturday he meets Jason High (16-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC), who replaced injured John Hathaway, at UFC on FUEL TV 10. Their bout is part of the FUEL TV-televised main card at Paulo Sarasate Arena in Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil.
It's the 28-year-old Silva's first fight in eight months following a leg infection and an elbow injury that scrapped a planned bout with Jay Hieron at UFC 156.
"Some things just aren't meant to happen," he said. "I probably would have fought anyway, but my trainer and manager helped me make the best decision by canceling. I would rather lose when I'm fully healthy than to fight sick or hurt and sound like I'm making excuses after the fact."
Silva, who's now based out of Rio de Janeiro and trains with Team Nogueira and X-Gym, knows a win over High, who's riding a seven-fight win streak, would further push him up the welterweight ladder. It'd also provide a bit of redemption since High is a wrestler like Fitch, who nearly stopped Silva on several occasions in their competitive bout back in October.
"I'm sure a rematch with Fitch would go differently," he said. "Truthfully, everything has its time. When we faced each other, he was the better man and beat me by points. Now it's up to me to get better.
"From that fight I also learned not cut so much weight in so little time. I had never done it like that before, and I sure felt it during the fight. I don't think talking about it is the best thing, though, since it may sound like an excuse. But I know where I went wrong and not to repeat it."
Silva, who fights in Brazil for the fourth time in five UFC fights on Saturday, said he's spent his recovery time doing media events and working with sponsors and the state government as an ambassador for the sport. However, he knows that winning ultimately will determine just how popular he can become in MMA, especially in his home country.
He's taking that knowledge into Saturday's event.
"It will be a very active fight," he said. "I'm plan to nullify his game. I plan to keep moving, using my speed. I am quite confident on my footwork and explosiveness."
