I'm not saying dana fucked Fedor's career. I'm saying he did everything he could to fuck his career. Big difference.I'm curious as well how exactly did Dana fuck Fedor's career ? I could see the Strikeforce buy out maybe as being an arguement here but I'm pretty sure that would have happened with or without Fedor there.
When negotiations first failed between Fedor and Zuffa, Fedor was unilaterally considered #1 p4p on the planet. Immediately, dana looked to discredit him every chance he could, saying he wasn't even a top 5 HW. Fedor wasn't nearly as well known as dana, wasn't in front of cameras and microphones as much as dana, and suddenly you have a ton of completely ignorant fans who are repeating dana's assertion that Fedor hadn't beaten a top 10 fighter since 2005. Which is obviously bullshit, if you know anything at all about MMA. But repetition bred belief among an easily impressionable fanbase.
There's more to it than that, but I'm tired of typing about it already.
I'm not saying the CU is great and awesome and above criticism.If they are not being underhanded an actually showing true concern here why are we not hearing this more from them? How many countless entertainers have been through just Las Vegas alone that have had criminal issues that they've probably never given a thought about if they played in a union establishment.
I'm saying in this case, virtually every point they've brought up is actually valid. They win this round.
I don't have a job in the food service industry. I don't care if Station Casino's ever unionize or not.
But that doesn't change the fact that everything this guy mentioned is accurate.
The vast majority of PR is blatant hypocrisy. To hold you to the same standard you'd like to hold the casionos, why aren't you strident and outraged every time dana massages the truth in a statement, or goes back on his word?While it may not be corrupt it's still nothing but blatant PR hypocrisy.
Because you care about some things, and you don't care about others. Everybody does.
Right now, the CU has a hard on for zuffa.
I actually see that as a good thing. I see it as pressure for zuffa to tighten up it's game and make fewer mistakes to be exploited in the media. It's not like they're in a position to topple zuffa and there is no UFC. But the pressure can make the product better, and that's what I want.
I can't tell if this is someone who is pretending to care, or someone who genuinely takes an interest in these issues and is coincidentally focused on looking for weakness in zuffa. I don't think anyone can.I agree with everything you said here except the constructive criticism part there is no need for the culinary union to be sticking their nose in here.
If I thought there was an actual true concern behind what they CU said I'd give them more credence. Realistically though we can all form our own opinions without them coming off like a bunch of tattle tales and trying to make problems.
But ultimately, they're right. To me, it doesn't matter where the information comes from, if it's accurate. I don't care about their agenda, because they're actually right.
I've seen teachers/police/politicians suspended without pay in certain cases. I'm not sure that a teacher accused of a brutal beating is going to get paid leave. It would depend on their contract...and that brings up a different point: the teacher chose a job with a contract that would cover them in cases like this, Stephens didn't. It goes back to him, and the choices he's made.
In addition, there is nothing preventing zuffa from choosing to support him and paying him his show money while it's being resolved. If dana really believes in him 100%--and isn't just trying to keep a fighter with a fanbase off of a blacklist he may deserve to be on--he can show that with cash. He's made financial gestures in the past that wouldn't rule this out.
In fact, that makes it much more like what I was saying, innocent until proven guilty, though with a special precaution to protect children from heinous crimes.[/QUOTE]
So when a teacher has an extra glass of wine at kareoke and blows a .09, it's a heinous crime that her students need to be protected from in the classroom? Like she's going to plow her RAV4 through the wall and run over the Glee Club?
What's more heinous, allegedly driving under the influence, or two men allegedly beating one man until he stops breathing? Neither one is great, but one is most often negligence, and the other is outright malicious.
I'm not saying Stephens is guilty--I actually hope he isn't, for his sake and for the sake of MMA in general. But I am saying he shouldn't be fighting for zuffa until the case is resolved.

About Me Parent
Comments about Phonics Pad:
I bought this for my five year old son for Christmas, it worked well for the first four minutes and then it kept saying it could not read the card. I thought maybe my son was moving the cards when he was pushing the buttons. My husband and I both tried it and had the same problem. The sound on the device is very low as well. I was really hoping this would be a great educational tool for him. For the price of the item its quality isnt comparable. Going to return it and look for something else.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

About Me Education Oriented, Parent
The Phonics Pad is a good concept;however it is designed poorly. The sound is very low, even on its highest level. The keypad takes a few hard presses just to choose the answers. My toddler who loves his iPad as well as other electronic toys and gadgets played with it for about 10 minutes, then he pushed it aside. Therefore, we will be sending it back.
Easy to use for my three year old.

My three year old loves this product. And, my five year old has lots of fun too. Thank You for making "PHONICS FUN".

ValeTudo.ru: You have visited many cities in Russia with workshops now. What do you say about Russia, what impressions? Like that, what is not?
- It is not like the traffic jams (smiles). It turned out that there are traffic jams in Sochi and St. Petersburg and Moscow. But more surprised that they are in Sochi.
And like (pause) ... people. You know, I've heard the expression, that - "Russia is a country of mystery shrouded in mystery." In Russia and Europe combined, and Asia, no other country in the world is not such a change. It is unique. There are people of different races, they belong together and are united into one great culture. Culture is not like the others. This is very interesting.
And another thing (starts talking enthusiastically) people here are very generous. I've got a lot of gifts piled on unfamiliar people. I was invited to the house, threw open its doors, were very welcoming to me.
ValeTudo.ru: Is this a joke or the truth that you want to receive Russian citizenship?
- No, it's not a joke. I'm working on it. Want. I am looking for an opportunity.
ValeTudo.ru: Tell me, in your opinion, what are the main differences between the U.S. and Russia.
- This is of course subjective ... but ... I think that in Russia people are more stringent. Not in terms of rudeness or anything like that ... just have more difficult conditions in life. Maybe because of the weather. Maybe because of the history. You've had a lot of wars. A long history of the state. You had to fight a lot. And I think that you are more capable of something. America, it is more mild.
Russian are able to perform more complex actions, to pass more complex tests and move on. And another thing, the political stuff. America, she is trying to become an empire. We have military bases all over the world hundred pieces - one hundred and fifty. We are trying to control the world. In Russia, the army is not of this kind. It is not aimed at the world. This is also a big difference.
ValeTudo.ru: And what is like our country?
- Yes, just like all people. Those who build roads, work in hospitals, teaching children and others. It does not matter you're Russian or American. You just do your job every day. Here no differences. We are all one class of people and we have to stick together.
ValeTudo.ru: USSR. How did you imagine? And represented at all?
- Yes, I thought about it. It was during my childhood. I imagine this is what it was like in the Soviet Union. But in the U.S. there was a sea of propaganda, of course we did not know exactly how it was in reality.
ValeTudo.ru: Yes, we just had everything. We were talking about you, too, all on TV talking about.
- Yes, we were on opposite sides of the Iron Curtain. I thought you had a government that suppresses the people ... Yes, in fact, all governments are all not give full freedom of citizens. We have the same problem actually.
They told us that in the Soviet Union were all starving, people stand in line for bread, that communism is bad ...
ValeTudo.ru: Unfortunately, something your propaganda is not lying.
- Yes, yes. I know.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. --- The Chattanooga Mocs women's golf team awaits its annual rite of passage Monday, April 29. That's when the squad learns its NCAA Regional site for play May 9-11. Possible locations are Auburn, Ala. (Auburn University Club), Norman, Okla. (Jimmie Austin OU Golf Course) and Stanford, Calif. (Stanford Golf Course).
UTC is in its fifth straight regional as a team. The program, which was built from scratch by Head Coach Colette Murray beginning with the 2007-08 season, has been a part of NCAA postseason play all six years of its existence.
The Mocs are in the field this year by virtue of an automatic bid for its win at the Southern Conference Championship April 14-16. Chattanooga led wire-to-wire for a six-stroke win over Furman which is hoping for an at-large bid. It was the fourth straight league title for the team and third in a row for an individual.
SoCon Medalist Agathe Sauzon (Valence, France) leads UTC into the postseason. She claimed her first collegiate win last time out in a playoff topping College of Charleston's Mary Chandler Bryan with a short birdie putt on the first extra hole. The duo shot two-over par 218 for the 54 holes in regulation.
Sauzon, Emily McLennan (Queensland, Australia), Isabella Loza (Bucaramanga, Colombia) and Porsche Campbell (Vancouver, Canada) would be making their first appearances in regional action, while Jordan Britt (Chattanooga, Tenn.) and Mette Kryger (Nivaa, Denmark) bring two and one year of experience, respectively.

Erie BayHawks forward Mychel Thompson did his best to keep up with how his younger brother fared against the defending NBA champions.
"I couldn't watch it because it wasn't on here, but I saw it online," Thompson said.
Klay Thompson was known for his ability to shoot coming out of Washington State. Now a second-year NBA guard, Thompson has arguably become Golden State's best player as evidence of his play in Wednesday night's 97-95 win at Miami.
Thompson had 27 points, seven rebounds, four assists and defended three-time NBA MVP LeBron James on the game's final play. James missed a fading jumper at the buzzer.
On the season, the 6-foot, 7-inch, 205-pound Thompson is averaging 16.4 points for the 15-7 Warriors.
"It's from putting in a lot of hard work over the summer," said Thompson about his brother. Their dad is former NBA player Mychal Thompson. "He's always had the talent. Can shoot. So he worked on other parts of his game. He's really showing improvement."

Who the f is Osi? does he even play on Sundays?
Over 5500 posts, advanced member, joined March 2002. 1st post (as anonymous) was the day after Super Bowl 35
Cris Carter has always had a bug up his *** about Coughlin and the Giants......this coming from a dude with ZERO rings.
"They come to the line of scrimmage and the first thing they do is start looking for me....I know, and they know. When theyd find me theyd start screaming: 56 left ! 56 left!....So theres this thing I did. After the play was over Id come up behind them and whisper: dont worry where I am. Ill tell you when I get there."
- Lawrence Taylor
sigh....lets just win a friggin game
Odell Beckham Junior: The future of the Giants
In essence then, Chris "Einstein" Carter says that the Giants fade in November because they have been ground down by Coughlin but with 2 months of additional grinding, they rise from the dead because of their greatness. That makes perfect sense.
No one remembers who came in second.

Cultural Conversation Hour sponsored by the Black Student Union, the Black Law Student Association, and the Office of Multicultural Development
The Office of Multicultural Development at Ohio Northern University cordially invites you to join us for our monthly Cultural Conversation Hour. October's monthly conversation series takes place during the lunch hour of 11am -12pm and will be held at Moot Court, in the College of Law, for this month. The conversation series is dedicated to examining the ideas of multiculturalism and diversity in greater society, through critical discussion. Food will be provided.
October's Topic is"Shoot First, Ask Questions Later: Self Defense, Stand your Ground, and the Trayvon Martin Tragedy." The "duty to retreat" before using deadly defensive force is a basic principle in self-defense law. Where safe to do so, people must take themselves out of harm's way rather than resort to violence to protect themselves or others. Stand Your Ground laws change all that.
Dr. C. Antoinette Clarke, professor of law, will discuss the law of self-defense and the changes to settled doctrine that Stand Your Ground laws represent. She will examine both current and proposed legislation (including Ohio's House Bill 203) against the backdrop of the Trayvon Martin killing, and other, similar homicides. She will also make some suggestions for actions to take to change this dangerous trend in the law, and some recommendations to protect our young men from those who would style themselves judge, jury, and executioner.
Dr. Clarke teaches Criminal Law and Juvenile Justice at ONU's Pettit College of Law.
Event sponsored by the Black Student Union, the Black Law Student Association, and the Office of Multicultural Development.

U.S. Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., has re-emphasized his approval of the MOX project and questioned President Barack Obama administration's commitment to the facility.
He elaborated on the issue during Tuesday's hearing on the 2013 Nuclear Waste Administration Act in the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee by outlining the importance of the country keeping its agreement with Russia by disposing of 34 metric tons of weapons-grade plutonium.
"The lack of commitment by the Obama administration is also true of the MOX facility at SRS," Scott said. "This administration has abandoned its commitment to the people of South Carolina. Not only will it cost the taxpayers more money, but hundreds of South Carolinians could lose their jobs."
In addition to MOX, Scott feels the Obama administration, as well as the Department of Energy, are failing to comply with other existing laws and agreements, including Yucca Mountain. The senator cited last year's 326-81 House vote to dedicate $25 million to restart the review of the construction at Yucca Mountain. Even with the legislation in place, the senator feels that DOE is not adhering to it.
"My concern with this legislation is less about the content and more about why Congress is allowing DOE to break the law as we know it to be," Scott continued. "The law is very clear; our nation's spent nuclear fuel and defense waste should be disposed at Yucca."
In response to the senator's concerns, Department of Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz reflected on the nation's commitment to Russia. Moniz feels that commitment is not the issue, but rather adequate funding.
"We are committed to disposing of the 34 metric tons of weapons-grade plutonium," Moniz stated. "But the cost escalations of the project just called for a re-examination of where we stand."
The senator will follow up his meeting with the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee by working with the Department of Energy, and other interest groups. His hope is to see the MOX facility completed.
"Sen. Scott will work closely with DOE as well as his colleagues from South Carolina and Georgia and fight to ensure that MOX funding is maintained at levels that were previously prescribed," said Greg Blair, the senator's press secretary.
A clip of the senator's comments can be found on YouTube, under the title, Sen. Tim Scott Questions DOE Secretary Moniz about Spent Nuclear Fuel.
Tim Scott named to 50 Most Beautiful
Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., was recently featured on the The Hill's 50 Most Beautiful People list. Scott made history as the first African-American senator of South Carolina since Reconstruction. His full profile can be found at www.thehill.com.

A game developer takes on a novel idea to "combat" game piracy: instead of resorting to the usual DRM and prosecution of the offenders, he ask them why they're doing it. The answers seem to be the usual, and AFAIK most of them have been mentioned here when discussing software piracy, but still the article makes a nice analysis on the current state of videogaming regarding the piracy matter, and the blog post is an interesting read. Also, I wonder what conclusions Mr. Harris will extract from the comments and the mails.
Note that the discussion is mostly centered about PC gaming, as the current generation of consoles does not suffer from the rampant piracy present in the last two generations, due to various reasons (expensive blank media and duplicators, locked-down systems, etc.). And the blog is getting hammered as well ;D

Things I liked:Nice ergonomics,and weight. nice power!!! excelent open sights.
Things I would have changed:Need improve the chrome barrel finish, use a 0000 steel wool to revive the brush chrome then use a lightPell Gun oil to revive the rifle to it new condition.
What others should know:Great for plinking and small game hunting. Get one it looks like its going to be discontinued.
Things I liked:Accuracy (now...)
Things I would have changed:Make the bolt more friendly to use - it's pretty stiff. I replaced the included scope with a Leapers. Don't bother with BBs. They don't feed well for me and are terribly inaccurate.
What others should know:When I first bought this rifle about a year ago my expectations were so low I never bothered putting pellets through it (only use BBs). And yeah, it stayed in the closet a lot... After putting a tin and a half of pellets through it (basic crosman and now diablo) my opinion is MUCH higher. I have moved out to a 50 yard distance (10 pumps) and shot a 3-inch group last night. I'm a novice shooter and for the price I spent I could not be happier.
Things I liked:Nice heft to this rifle. Pumping is not hard at all. Doesn't need more than 5-7 pumps for general target practice, so a person won't wear themselves out too fast from multiple shots taken. Accurate! Wish the front sight was true iron and not the fiber optic. It's too big for what it's trying to do.
Things I would have changed:The silver barrel shroud (surrounding the true inner rifled barrel) is not attached to the inner barrel. That makes it so the rear sight can move around. This is NOT a defect. It is a flaw in the guns original design. Another design flaw is the fiber optic front sight. Sighting in on a target down field is like centering a tea saucer on to a dinner plate. I learned how to shoot on open sights, as I feel everyone should. But that was years ago, and fiber optic is now the norm for it. If you're going to shoot further than 15yrds, then you'll pobably wanna scope the gun.
What others should know:The silver shroud needs to be anchored or you'll never be able to target anything using open sights. What i did to correct this is loosen the screws on the receiver and shimmied some metal tape on to the shroud itself. The tape acts as a shim, making it so the silver shroud has zero movement/play whatsoever. Rock solid, and the aluminum tape is as sticky as duct tape, but without the cloth/fiber part. Also, if you buy a remanufactured model (as did I), be sure to oil the gun right away with Pellgunoil. I don't know how long this gun sat around before I bought it, but the pump arm had no resistance the 1st time I tried to pump it. Oiling it, giving it an hour to sit, and then trying it again fixed it up right away. Great price for an excellent gun. Recommend!

Pacsafe RFIDtec Bifold Wallet 20 20
Ultimate Wallet Sort of like a man-purse in your hip pocket. Keeps my IDs and cards and cash organized and easily accessible. Large pockets make it easy to separate cards by function and easy to remove without taking every other card or cash out. Discovered this weekend that I can also slide my blackberry inside the folded wallet, the outside band keeping it all together. Outside zippered pocket is perfect for keeping the card, cash or coins i'll be using next handy so no need to open the wallet in a crowd and fumbling or showing the contents to those who may wish to do be wrong. I'm very satisfied. Good value for a very practical product. June 25, 2013
Travel Safe I ordered this just because I wanted to be a little safer with my personal information when I travel. If its here or abroad. March 27, 2015
Looking all over for this product I became very concerned about identity theft and have been looking for an RFID wallet for my husband who is not concerned with identity theft. We are pleased with this product. Especially nice is this wallet is made of a soft fabric which my husband states is comfortable in his back pocket rather than the hard, unbending leather wallet he gave up. He likes the elastic strap that keeps the contents in place and the zippered bill compartment that separates his large from small bills. We are happy with this purchase. The price was right, also. March 25, 2014
Have purchased two of these wallets! I have purchased two of these wallets and they are very useful. I wanted to be protected with my credit cards and this does this really fine. I bought another color of the same one. Have been asked where I purchased it. People love it. February 16, 2015
Bifold Wallet Great wallet. Held all my important cards and currency. Did not have to worry about credit card info being lost and wallet is light weight. April 14, 2014
Easy to see inside with the bright interior Holds a lot, nice to have multiple slots. This is my second one of these, I got this because I got dirt and sawdust in the first one, have to have a clean one for going to the city. January 7, 2015
bifold wallet I liked all my items I received from Travelsmith.the wallet is especially nice December 23, 2014
a surprise hit! My husband really likes this wallet! A double surprise for both of us! He has said "travel wallets are a joke and waste of money because they can't hold more than 1 credit card, etc. He opened this up and couldn't believe the all the spaces for credit cards, business cards, driver's license--all the manly stuff a lot of guys collect. Everything fit into this wallet and it fits fine in his pants pocket. He's been using it ever since it arrived. The joke is that I had ordered a leather men's wallet from Macy's that finally showed up. He' sticking with this one! September 4, 2014

For 10 years, people like Donna Lynch have called 2-1-1 Hotline when they've needed a resource in the community or just a listening ear.
Suffering from depression and other mental illness, Lynch struggled with suicidal thoughts for years, kept alive by calls to the hotline. Through 2-1-1 Hotline, she was able to get the mental health services she needed. Today, Lynch helps others connect with the mental health services they need. Lynch says she might have given up on several occasions if not for the support of 2-1-1 Hotline.
The free, confidential, 24/7 community resource turns 10 years old on Feb. 11. Intensively-trained 2-1-1 staff and volunteers listen with respect and compassion to callers' problems, support them through crises, connect them with community resources and help them sort things out. 2-1-1 Hotline also connects callers who want to donate their time with a comprehensive database of volunteer opportunities.
Trident United Way's 2-1-1 Hotline is on the cutting-edge of hotlines nationwide. It has begun piloting "Chat," whereby people in need can contact the service via computer chat without ever having to talk. "Chat is the preferred method of communication, even in a crisis, for many younger people," said Matthew Grason, the chat coordinator.
In addition, calls to Darkness to Light are answered by counselors for 2-1-1 Hotline. So are after-hours calls to Charleston County Department of Social Services, Berkeley County Mental Health and several national suicide hotlines. Trident United Way's 2-1-1 Hotline works with other 2-1-1 services around the state, so that no call is ever left unanswered.
Trident United Way's information and referral service, Hotline and the Volunteer Center, came together in 2003 once the FCC made the 2-1-1 phone number available. In its first year, 2-1-1 Hotline handled 26,000 calls. That number has reached 50,000 calls annually as more people learn about the service.
"We launched 2-1-1 Hotline on 2/11 to remind everyone that our community's resources are at your fingertips simply by dialing 2-1-1," said Charlotte Anderson, vice president of 2-1-1 services at Trident United Way. "People can also visit tuw.org and do their own search," she said.
Anderson has worked for the hotline for more than 30 years and has been its director for more than 25, sheparding it from a crisis line to its current comprehensive crisis, information and referral service.
Most people calling 2-1-1 need food, clothing or housing, but the variety of needs is staggering. People call looking for legal help, information on the flu, tax preparation services, and almost anything else you can imagine. Many callers just need a safe place to unburden themselves of their troubles.
2-1-1 Hotline has made life easier for hospitals, TV stations, libraries, newspapers, municipal offices, non-profit agencies and other organizations that people call looking for information about community resources. Many callers are referred to 2-1-1 Hotline by these organizations.

Building the DRI with X.org and Mesa
This is a basic guide to building DRI from source. This guide only covers building the client-side 3D drivers. Since the transition to the modular X.org build, building an X-server and 2D drivers is beyond the scope of this document. That information can be found in the X.org Modular Developer Guide. You will most probably need to (re)compile also at least the keyboard and mouse drivers, in addition to a video card 2D driver.
The 2D drivers with DRI support, server-side GLX support and the GL library capable of loading DRI 3D drivers are developed in X.org's CVS. The 3D drivers, though, live in the Mesa tree, so you will have to check out the Mesa git tree. You should also get the DRM git tree for up-to-date kernel modules. The following instructions will guide you through the process step by step.
Warning: In case you didn't notice, you are about to compile and install experimental software. This will allow you to test the latest features and bug fixes. It may, however, also introduce new bugs. Be prepared for problems every now and then.
You need a current version (7.4, ie. xserver 1.5 as of this writing) of X.org (core and development packages) installed on your system. In particular, you need these X.org components:
- proto/glproto 1.4.14 or
- proto/xf86vidmodeproto
- lib/libXxf86vm
- lib/libXmu
- dri2proto
On Debian/Ubuntu
If you are using Debian or Ubuntu you can install the packages with:
apt-get build-dep libdrm mesa
apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
apt-get install libxi-dev libxmu-dev x11proto-xf86vidmode-dev
apt-get install git autoconf automake libtool
Getting Mesa
The clean Mesa source tree takes about 32MB of disk space.
git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/mesa
Building Mesa 3D drivers
The DRI 3D drivers are now built from the Mesa source.
cd mesa
mesa installs to
/usr/local/lib by default. To install in
/usr/lib run:
./configure --prefix=/usr
Choose the right configure options depending on the hardware architecture you're compiling for.
See http://www.mesa3d.org/autoconf.html for more information about configuring mesa or read the output from:
./configure --help
Now you're ready to compile it:
Installing the 3D drivers
After compiling the Mesa tree, the 3D drivers can be found in
mesa/lib. There are two ways of using them: installing them in the destined place, or telling X where to find them.
- Install the drivers to
Run as root, to install:
make install
Or set the environment variable LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH to point to
<path to Mesa>/lib, and also preload the newly built
export LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH=
/lib export LD_PRELOAD= /lib/libGL.so.1
To make these settings persistent, you'll have to add them to
.bashrc or a similar login script.

Dodson Wants to Be a Three-Weight-Class Champion and It Starts With the Flyweight Title
Unbeknownst to him at the time, Dodsons fight against Da Silva had been deemed a No. 1 contenders fight with the winner getting a crack at new UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson.
The news only served as more motivation to put a hurting on Da Silva on Oct. 5.
Ive got to step up my game and make sure I put him to sleep, and I just need to justify my case for being the No. 1 contender then, Dodson said after hearing the news.
Theres always a certain level of distraction heading into any fight, but in Dodsons case everything just multiplied because of the title shot looming overhead. The longtime student of coaches Greg Jackson and Mike Winkeljohn isnt letting it distract him at all, however, because he doesnt get the gold if hes served with silver this weekend.
In Dodsons mind, hes still got a lot to prove before he can battle for the UFC flyweight title.
Im still thinking one fight at a time. I dont really even care that Im going to be the No. 1 contender. All I want to know is how Im preparing myself for Jussier Da Silva. I know hes a dangerous fighter, he was once considered the best flyweight in the world, and I want to make sure I can compete with the best flyweights in the world, Dodson stated.
People have sat there and questioned me being in the top ten, questioned my abilities, question everything Ive done, and question my jiu-jitsu. So, I want to make sure I can prove all those doubters and haters that sit there and have no faith in me, I want to make them believers.John Dodson Wants to Be a Three-Weight Class Champion and It Starts With the Flyweight Title | MMAWeekly.comIt makes it so much easier cause now I can start hunting for my gold. I want to be a champion in three weight classes, so I wanted to start with flyweight. Now Ive got an opponent, Ive got the opponent I want to fight, said Dodson.
Ill work my way up to get there to get that title shot, get it, and then start moving up in the other weight classes as well.

350.org Climate Impacts Day brought locals and others to Waitsfield for Green Up day work, to bear witness to the impacts of climate change and to participate in 350Vermont's gathering and group photo on the Flemer Field on May 5. For the event, HigherMind MediaWorks, Waitsfield, worked with 350Vermontto capture video and photography for Climate Impacts Day.
HigherMind used a remote-controlled hexacopter mounted with a gyro-stabilized DSLR camera that shoots both still photos and videos to take the aerial shots. The hexacopter and camera together weigh about eight pounds, and it was flown up to about 300 feet to capture the landscape surrounding the human dot formed in Flemer Field. A two-person crew was dedicated to the flight, with one flyer controlling the craft and the second person monitoring the view of the camera and doing the shooting. There were also videographers on the ground recording the events and one made canoe trips through the village to capture the activities from the water.
HigherMind is editing the footage into a short documentary for 350.org and 350Vermont. For updates and trailers, visit 350Vermont and HigherMind MediaWorks on Facebook and "like" both pages.

iPad 2, Will it blend? [video]
Tired of all the recent iPad 2 coverage? Well the guys over a Blendtec have just released a video for the iPad 2 version of Will it blend?
If you haven't seen these videos before, they basically involve a guy in a lab coat sticking an expensive item of tech in a blender. This one is hard to watch, especially if your still waiting to get your hands on an iPad 2, it's such a waste!
This video is based around the iPad 2 Apple keynote, but still has the usual outcome. Check out the video after the break.

iPad 2, Will it blend? [video]
It will blend, I know cause I blended my finger.
these videos are so stupid. i really dont get it...
It's called marketing. People go on YouTube and search for iPad 2 and his video pops up. People click the link and say, "wow that is one hell of a blender". Then they look into the blender and find out it is $600. I would have never known about this blender had he not made all these videos. So.... his marketing worked for someone. :)
You being born was a waste :)
Go and feed your fat face.
Can't we all just get along?
Can't we all just get a bong?
WOW!!! Millions of people waiting in line to use a great tool. And this A-Hole goes and breaks it. Wait of time!!!
Partly right. Just replace "tool" with "toy" and you've got it 100%.
Giving $500 would not have folks talking about it like this is.
Blending the iPad is not the best. I would prefer to see it ran over and then shot like skeet. That would be cool.
PS - When you buy your iPad, you can do with it what you want. If you want to trash it, fine. If you want to use it, fine. Do not get upset because someone does with theirs what you would not do with yours.
Just don't burn it. That's bad for the environment. Make sure it's recyclable after it's broken!
Why doesn't everyone stop wasting their money on soda's and junk food and give that money to the red cross? $500.00 at once or 1.50 at a time. Same difference.
Will this site blend?
Or any site?
Hmmm I am not sure if it is possible to blend a website, that is a good question.
What an absolute waste of my time, you're time and an iPad. I was going to reply to MacBoy 15, but then saw Strosnider, myphone and GregFosters posts and they have equally good posts. Completely pointless! TK do you really think it makes a difference if they get paid? As if they would donate the money to red cross, highly unlikely. They should stop these videos now, there are so UNFUNNY!!! What would be funny is if he put his head in one of those blenders!!!
I did, I said that at the beginning. I regret viewing it hence my name!!! Still a waste of time and money. A bit over the top but that could have gone to a school who would use it in eduacation, a valuable use. Who cares if it blends? Of course it would. What do we gain from that? Some schools cannot afford them and that to me outlines why it is a waste of so much, regardless if I wasted my time watching it. I will NEVER watch one of theirs again!!!
Schools is just an example but you cannot deny that they can help. iPads and other tablets are going to replace books eventually. Theres not much anyone can do about that!
ummm.. your comment wasted my time..
people make videos, deal with it.
I'm guessing that you never buy unnecessary things like extra food or something,
you would clearly give that to japan or charity or something.
One ipad bought by a company has no impact on schools or whatever you think they could use that ipad for.
And on a side note,why do you think they wouldn't donate money to red cross?
all companies do that and they dont do it to get in the media or anything, theyre just nice.
I fail to see the relevance in this comment?
He (or she) means that one-person boycotts are pretty pointless and completely ineffective in accomplishing the boycotter's goals. And as for living a life "not buying products made in China" it's almost impossible. A very large percentage of products on store shelves these days were either assembled there, or had component parts assembled there, or contain raw materials sourced from there, or had some other affect on the Chinese economy (such as being sourced or produced elsewhere by a company or companies with ties to China). Also, Chinese people need jobs too.
Yeah Dionte you are just such an important person that your rebellious attitude will have large magnitude of influence on tech blending. What a tool.
Hahahahaha this was hilarious! Lol
They guy playing Steve jobs needed "new balance" shoes tho!
And bill gates calling at the end... #priceless.. Lol
To everyone complaining about yourselves not getting an iPad 2 after waiting in line, you should have gotten there earlier lol.
They're promoting their product at the expense of someone elses, nothing wrong with that!
I can see the value in a site like iFixit where they take something apart in the intreats of examining it. But this is just senseless destruction. They're the "jack Ass" of tech ( and that's not a compliment)
Take the money and use it towards the releif efforts in Japan... Or sponsor a child in a developing country... Donate it to a local charity... why waste for the sake of waste?
Can we add all devices into the below article.
I've read articles and seen videos of bloggers and writers testing devices in real work scenarios; like dropping, or accidentally getting toss in a washer or dryer ( and even that gave me mixed emotions). But it's not like I'm going accidentally drop my iPad or anywhere device for that matter into my blender accidentally while I make a protein shake.
Seriously, if there is no value in the exercise...then it's all for attention.
I say again, sad.
Guys/Gals it's only an iPad they are blending. Not a small child. Calm down a little bit. :)
Wow. You guys complain a lot. It's marketing for a blender. That money was going to be used making a commercial or Internet ads anyway. There is no reason to be mad at the company or this website for posting the video. Besides, for all we know, they have donated to the relief effort. Give it a rest. Yes, the video was stupid but who cares what they do to the iPad. If you want one, you'll get it eventually.
I personally think this ad campaign is brilliant, there is sooo much discussion every time he puts out one of these videos.
If he just blended fruit, who would watch it?? Everyone knows now these blenders are badas$... I see them all over the place(commercial)... If I could afford one I'd get one for home.
His blending of the iphone4, got over 9 million views. So $500 iphone4 translated to 9 million views and a whole lot of discussion...
What is stupid is paying millions for a superbowl commercial.
It's certainly a crazy publicity stunt. However, if you want a really good blender to use for what blenders SHOULD be used for, I'd recommend a VitaMix. This blender, while it can obviously obliterate tech equipment looks like garbage for actual kitchen use. And yes, these expensive blenders are really worth it if you cook a lot.
And this discussion is exactly why they do it. The coments below the video were even more funny: One guy said MURDERER, another wanted to smith the blended iPad. WTF?
Why don't they blend some Droid or a Windows Phone? People wouldn't take it that personal as we apple lovers do. Saw the video yesterday, it was funny, allthough it's a waste of ressources. And he blended one Google Nexus Laptop in another vid right before.
After all it's a good ad campaign for the iPad2 and for Blendtec. People talk about these vids, they even get posted to hater sites.
I would love to see Windows7 or Vista blended though. We all know what the better opperating system is, right?

"Hell to me would be the fact you made a movie that glorifies yourself, and heaven would be that you caught a moment in time," Crowe says. "I was always looking for an easy way out." He emits a high-pitched laugh, and you wonder if that's how he has always sounded--the grown man who giggles like a little boy. It's little wonder that musicians who despised Rolling Stone in the 1970s allowed Crowe access to their backstage lives.
Crowe, of course, couldn't resist making his life story--not after the success of 1996's Jerry Maguire gave him that one shot to make any movie he wanted, no matter how personal. But in the end, Almost Famous isn't really Crowe's story (his surrogate is a wunderkind writer named William Miller, played by moptop Patrick Fugit), but rather a movie about how it feels to listen to rock and roll. It's the story of children turned on to and by music for the very first time. It's about how it feels to hear a needle drop on a slab of revolving vinyl, when that hiss gives way to an acoustic guitar which gives way to a lyric that speaks directly to you. It's the story of The Fan, the true believer who offers his gods and goddesses only unconditional love.
Almost Famous is the film Crowe tried to make in 1992, when he set Singles in Seattle for a grunge-rock Manhattan. But nobody in Singles heard the music; they just watched it from the sidelines. They were bystanders nodding their heads in smoky clubs while trying to chat up a would-be girlfriend; they used their record collections as mate bait. When it arrived in theaters, Singles already felt like a vestige: a used Pearl Jam CD wallowing in the nice-price bins.
Crowe's new film, set in 1973, is timeless. It is classic rock, a Led Zeppelin song or a Who album that never shows its age. It's the scene in Crowe's 1989 film Say Anything... in which John Cusack packs his bags to the soft, sad "Within Your Reach" by the Replacements. It's the scene in 1982's Crowe-penned Fast Times at Ridgemont High, in which Jackson Browne coos "Somebody's Baby" while Jennifer Jason Leigh loses her virginity in a dimly lit dugout. And it's the scene in Jerry Maguire in which Renée Zellweger sees her son kissing Tom Cruise, while Bruce Springsteen moans "Secret Garden" in the background.
"With Singles, here was this thing that was supposed to feel like an album, but nobody listened to music in it," Crowe says. "So I just wanted to make sure Almost Famous had those moments where music kind of scripted the lives of the characters for them. There are times in the movie where I watch it and go, "Cool, we caught Zeppelin's "That's the Way" on a summer day, when the sun just flares out and you're listening to this acoustic guitar that's getting stronger, and you'll remember that moment as the definitive listening experience for that song.' I wanted to catch the way it makes you feel."
Crowe likes to refer to Almost Famous as his "chapter-ender"; it's the final installment in his films about "the brutal journey of the idealist," as he says in mock seriousness. He does not hide the fact that he's always been the "star" of his movies. Lloyd Dobler, Steve Dunn, Jerry Maguire, and William Miller exist as Crowe's stand-ins, the thin façades behind which he barely hides. He decided to be more honest about it this time only because Almost Famous is the inevitable conclusion to his series of autobiographies. Everything until now was a semicolon. Almost Famous is the period.
"The next movie I'm fortunate enough to be able to make is gonna be the beginning of the next stage--not the corruption of that idealism so much as just accepting the responsibility of never hiding behind your youth, and dealing with the world as an adult," he says, referring to Vanilla Sky, which will star Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz. "All my characters, in a way, trade on their youth, and I've done that too, and I have a lot to say about that as well. But melancholy's still melancholy and sweet is still sweet, even if you're an adult."
When Crowe joined the staff of Rolling Stone in 1973, the 15-year-old was the most precious of commodities: a young acolyte not yet damaged by the industry of cool. In his 1990 book Rolling Stone Magazine: The Uncensored History, Austin-based writer Robert Draper insists that had it not been for the discovery of Crowe, the magazine "might have trundled through the Seventies like a blind man in a wheelchair." Jann Wenner's magazine had lost touch with its readers and the fans--and, worst of all, the music. The magazine had no identity, save for that of the yellowing relic. "The senior writers of the magazine were probably growing more distant from the music," former music editor Abe Peck told Draper. "And then here's Cameron, reacting the same way that everyone from Jann on did in 1967. This is his first flush of rock and roll."

Bent's future at Villa Park has been the subject of speculation for some time with the forward losing his place in the starting XI.
The former Sunderland man has found himself on the fringes of the first team under Lambert fuelling reports of a possible move away from the club for Bent when the transfer window reopens in January.
"Darren was on the bench last week. We've not had a cross word at all," insisted Lambert.
"Has there been any interest in Bent? None.
"Are you adamant you want to sell? Listen. My job is to pick a group of lads I think will win the game and that's my main focus, not any other deviation of anything else."

This past Saturday, six students at the Crossroads Higher Education Center in Galax earned their masters' degrees at Averett University. And while earning their MBA's through a partnership with the Galax institute is a massive accomplishment, those graduating said they couldn't have done it without their seventh member.
Stephanie Rene Pack Bryant was one of four original students that began the masters' program through Averett University in 2011 in a ground-breaking partnership with the Crossroads Institute. Dr. Oliver McBride, Executive Director of the Crossroads Institute, said the program came about thanks to citizens like Bryant who wanted to earn their MBA's but had family, job and other obligations that kept them from traveling to a major university or college.
According to classmate Aaron Blackburn, Bryant found out she had cancer the very day the MBA program started. But she never let that stop her as she was driven to earn her master's degree before passing on November 23, 2012, continuing her work with Blackburn and classmates David Payne and Norma Quesinberry.
"She decided it was meant for her to go through the MBA program. I don't think she hesitated at all to continue on, even after finding out she had cancer," Blackburn said. "And she really fought through everything tremendously. I have never seen anyone with so much perseverance and so much drive."
Bryant's drive to beat cancer and earn her MBA was a major motivation in her life, Blackburn said, a legacy that was passed on to that initial team of students in Galax, along with Joanie Newman, Travis Belton and Angela Edwards, who joined the program later and put in extra work to graduate with the others.
"It was such an incredible thing to see somebody so motivated during a time in their life when they are facing death. She passed that along to us and she really drove us forward," Blackburn said. "You really see firsthand what you should appreciate in life and why you should work hard. She was a humongous motivational factor to us and a close friend."
And while Bryant unfortunately did not get the chance to walk across the stage at Averett University, she joins her six colleagues in receiving a master's degree from the Danville university. While in Baptist Hospital in Winston-Salem, N.C. before she passed, Bryant was bestowed with an Honorary Master's Degree from Averett.
"It was devastating when she passed away, but at the same time what Averett did for her was amazing. Norma, David and myself actually went to the hospital," Blackburn said. "The folks from Averett drove all the way from Danville to present her with that at Baptist Hospital. We all gathered around her hotel bed. Stephanie hardly could even get the words out of her mouth, but if you could have just seen her face light up and how much it truly meant to her that she was being honored for what she had done. It's something I will never forget, and she will definitely be with me for as long as I live, as well as the experience I have had with Averett. I can't say enough good things about Averett University."
Newman said earning a Master's Degree took much time and dedication. There were often times when things seemed too tough, but it was always Bryant that kept the class going.
"There were a lot of times where we thought it was too tough and we wanted to quit, but just knowing what she went through and staying in the class, that was amazing," Newman said. "You thought about it and said, 'Things aren't so bad after all. If she can stay in this program, so can I.'"
A New World of Opportunity
McBride said before the opening of the Crossroads Higher Education Center, the graduating Averett students started in a small room in the main facility at the Crossroads Institute, waiting patiently for the new center to be opened. He said their graduation speaks volumes about what can be accomplished when people set their mind to achieve something.
"These are people who came to us and said, 'We would love to be able to earn a Master's in Business Administration, but we are working, we have family obligations, we have jobs. We can't leave the area to do it. Is there anything that can be done to bring that here?' And we were able to work through the New College Institute to get the Averett University program," McBride said. "These folks have committed themselves to completing it and they have been very, very successful. We just want people to know about them and use them as a way to tell people about the opportunities that are available here in higher education."
Newman said she was lucky to find out about the program. Along with Edwards and Belton, the trio began taking the program after the initial group had already taken two classes. Since that time, they have been driven to catch up and graduate at the same time as their colleagues.
"It's one of those things that was just too good to be true. It was such a great opportunity in Galax, I couldn't pass it up," said Newman, who had earned her bachelor's degree a couple of years ago through Bluefield College. "I just thought, 'This is too good to be true. It's made for somebody who has to work, has kids, has a lot of obligations,' and it's here in our backyard."
Newman said her immediate goal is to use what she has learned through the program to help her business, Moog Components Group in Galax. Later on, she hopes to be able to teach.
"It's been tough, but it's been a wonderful opportunity for us," she said.
Blackburn said he couldn't have asked for a more convenient situation to earn his MBA that what he was provided at the Higher Education Center. He never dreamed he would be able to get his master's degree in Galax. He hopes his class will pave the way for many more in the future.
"Thinking about it, it's almost like you are part of a new wave of the future getting ready to happen. It's kind of cool to be at the beginning of this thing that could develop into something influential to our community. It just continues to happen here in Galax and they continue to offer these kinds of courses," he said. "It continues to improve our community and gives people opportunities they didn't think they had before."
Ironically, Blackburn said he never intended to earn a master's degree after earning his bachelor's from Virginia Tech. But one day Dr. McBride came into Blackburn's Farm Service Agency Office when he just happened to mention the program.
"I hadn't given it a lot of thought, but when he talked about it I thought, 'How am I ever going to get a better opportunity than this?' And I worked for the government too and I felt like at the time, when the budget was becoming an issue, maybe this was God's way of telling me I needed to do this," Blackburn said.
Looking back on it, he never knew how challenging the program would be. He didn't know he would be committing himself to an extra 10-15 hours of work per week. But with Bryant and fellow classmates working as a team, Blackburn said he truly learned the value of hard work.
"Nothing good comes but from hard work, and I learned that from this program. You really feel true pride when you are presented with something like this," Blackburn said. "Through this whole thing, I truly learned the value of working with people, working with my teammates, working through issues, not only with assignments, but personal issues. I was a part of a team, and it's been amazing to see and to experience how as a group we pulled together and worked through that situation."
Blackburn also wants to make sure the community is aware that Crossroads and its Higher Education Center offers opportunities for people of all ages. There are no age limits or requirements. He hopes more people will follow the lead of his class to better themselves.
"This is open for everybody. The people there, their ambition was to get a better job, put something on their resume they didn't have there before," he said. "It wasn't uncommon to see people in their 50s and even approaching retirement age there in class getting their MBA. I hope more and more people realize the opportunities they have here. There is no excuse not to continue. You have levels of education that were previously unavailable to a lot of people that are now available in Galax. It's here and I think that is truly an amazing thing."

Best Uses
I don't have to worry about the sun going down or being caught in the dark with the dogs. On our walks around the neighborhood every morning at 5:30, I hold 3 leads for 3 dogs, so holding a traditional flashlight at the same time is more than I can handle. Which ever direction I point this light, is the way they know we are going, so they follow the light! Pretty cool.
Best Uses
I use this retractible leash to walk my dog at night especially in the winter since it gets dark so fast. I love all three of the lights, they work great and are very bright. The only problem is the switch to stop the leash from going out further, doesnt always work to well, its not as smooth as it should be. Still works but not perfect, it works enough to not send it back and get a new one because I was really looking for the lights in the leash and they are perfect.
Best Uses
We live on a highway so I definitely feel safer walking our dog at night with this leash. However, the "stay" for the re-tractor is something to be desired. It seems a little flimsy or loose and I have a difficult time "locking it in".
Best Uses
Product is great. The only negatives are that the leash is not reflective and that it could be longer. Other than these two me and my dog are not complaining.

text: Boone County Parks and Recreation workers stocked trout from Whitesville to Ashford on friday. They also stocked areas of creeks in Prenter, Drawdy Falls & Lick Creek in Ashford. Chris from Indian Lake netted the fish into big tubs for the workers to carry to the river and release. The fish were of a nice size and if the weather permits we should see a lot of families fishing along the banks of the Big Coal River. The workers stocking in the picture @ Drawdy Falls is L-R Robert Graley,Daniel Parsons & Dexter Gore. The picture of the stock truck is Indian Lake worker Chris along with Dexter Gore, Daniel Parsons and Robert Graley.
