Tuesday, August 20, 2013
I'm writing to shed some light on the NCAA moratorium, which prohibits South Carolina from hosting a college football bowl game.
This moratorium was called for after former state Senator Robert Ford, an African-American, sponsored the legislation that allowed for the removal of the Confederate Battle Flag from its sovereign place of prominent display atop the South Carolina Statehouse Dome to a more suitable place where all the other monuments are.
Those on both sides of the aisle saw this as a compromise and prudent solution to this highly charged issue.
I, along with fellow members of the Berkeley and Charleston County Legislative Delegations, religious, community and business leaders, black and white, met on Friday, August 9, 2013, with Brian Woods, a sports executive who represents the interests of the Legends Bowl. We agreed that an NCAA bowl game is an opportunity that can't be passed up.
We must now encourage the NCAA to move forward, as the state of South Carolina strives to do the same in its race relations, and allow a bowl game to be played at The Citadel in Charleston just like they have allowed other NCAA bowl games in South Carolina to be played with the moratorium in place.
In 2007 and 2009, the NCAA allowed a postseason bowl game to be held at Benedict College in Columbia. In both instances, the moratorium was not enforced and no penalties were placed on the host school or participating institutions.
In race relations throughout our state, we move to heal and mend to ensure South Carolina is not stymied by indecision and fear. I've sent letters to NCAA's President and Executive Committee encouraging them to allow Charleston to move forward with the bowl game and showcase the good that dwells in the hearts of the citizens of Charleston and throughout South Carolina.
Allowing a bowl game to be played in Charleston would demonstrate that there is a sense of cooperation, community, compromise and promise now and for the future.
The NCAA has yet to determine their level of involvement, if any, with bowl certification in 2014 and beyond. Still, the current moratorium has the potential to levy penalties on the conferences participating in the Charleston bowl game.
The participating conferences, along with their membership, should not be penalized for something that has nothing to do with them nor which they have any control over.
A college football bowl game would bring over 15,000 visitors, result in an estimated economic impact of over $7 million to the Lowcountry, and have a lasting and far reaching influence on future athletic events and the spirit of cooperation in our state.
I hope you will join me in this endeavor by contacting the NCAA's President and Officers as soon as possible encouraging them to not levy any sanctions or penalties on the proposed Charleston bowl game, the host institution or participating institutions.
The address is: NCAA, PO Box 6222, Indianapolis, Ind., 46206 – 6222; the phone number is (317) 917 - 6222.

First things first: Do people still say the word "bling"? Or is that term a relic of a bygone era? Either way, it's no secret that there is a lot of money to be made by becoming a global hip-hop icon these days. So much so, in fact, that a normally hoity-toity magazine like Forbes has been putting together lists of the Top 20 Hip-Hop Cash Kings since 2007. To that end, the high-falutin' magazine is putting its fawning coverage of Wall Street robber barons in a temporary holding pattern as they focus their efforts on counting down which rappers are making the most cheddar in 2010.
While you most certainly won't be surprised to find out that Jay-Z currently holds the title as hip-hop's wealthiest mogul — he raked in some $63 million last year, no big whoops — you might be surprised when you hear that Lil Wayne places fourth on the list, this despite the fact that he's been behind bars since March. Hilariously, Weezy's actually on track to earn more money this year ($20 million) than he did last year ($18 million).
Check out our gallery below to find out who else made the list (and how much they took home). Only one question remains: If hip-hop's wealthiest don't spend money on "bling" anymore, what do they spend it on?

White-coat hypertension is actually a risk factor for preeclampsia. When someone has that response to medical personnel (or traffic), then it means that something about the way that her body regulates blood pressure is broken - because if it weren't broken, it wouldn't *do* that.
And whatever it is that's broken about the way your body regulates blood pressure raises risk of PE, so I'm really glad they're keeping a close eye on you.
I went into pregnancy with a hx of 90/60 but white-coat spikes, and... yeah.

Ran Away from the subscriber, living about 40 miles west of Cumberland, Allegany co., Md. on the 16th inst., a Negro Man named STEPHEN; calls himself Stephen Mahorney. He is about 21 years old, about 5 foot 7 inches high, stout made, dark complexion, has a grum countenance & down look when spoken to. Had on when he went off a pair of grey cloth pantaloons, not much worn, a short brown country cloth coat, about half worn, which fits him very loose, shoes or bootees, of very strong leather, pegged and nailed with sparables, white yarn stockings, a country linen shirt, a good yellow striped summer jacket, and a half worn wool hat. He took with him a small black and white spotted Dog. He has no doubt made for Pennsylvania. The above reward will be given for securing him in jail so that I get him again, and all reasonable expenses paid if secured in the Cumberland, Frederick or Hagers-town Jail.

Leonard Smith is my husband's 2nd great-grandfather. A slave family named Mahawney, listed as belonging to Henry Mattingly, appear in Richard Koch's Western Maryland Catholics, 1819-1851. A cursory examination of census records showed no records for Stephen Mahorney, but the 1830 census includes a free colored Mahorney (or McHerney) family living south of Pittsburg, PA about 80 miles northwest of Smith's land in Maryland. In 1880 a 15 year old black male, Steven Mahorney, is enumerated in the Hagerstown, MD household of his grandfather Francis Nelson. This Steven is obviously not the same young man who fled more than 50 years earlier, but were I researching this man I would investigate a possible relationship.

Signature Club A At-a-Glance
Strengths: Several products contain proven anti-aging ingredients and are fragrance-free; reasonable prices; most of the capsules are worth a look; excellent blush and mascara.
Weaknesses: Many of the anti-aging claims are over-the-top, stretching the boundaries of what skin care can really do; jar packaging which doesn't keep the good ingredients in the products stable; the Meltdown cleansers tend to be highly fragrant; products for various areas (face, eyes, neck, and chest) tend to have remarkably similar formulas; poor foundation formulations with limited shade ranges; poor concealer and eye pencil.
Signature Club A is a line of skin care and makeup sold exclusively on the Home Shopping Network (HSN). The woman behind this brand, Adrien Arpel, has been involved in the world of cosmetics for over 40 years. Back in the 1970s she owned a namesake skin-care and makeup company sold in department stores.
Adrien Arpel sold her namesake line to a large corporation, but several years later, she had a falling-out with them. As a result of this falling out, she was prevented from attaching her name to another brand, so she began to market herself and her new products under the name "Adrienne." These products are now being sold under the brand Signature Club A.
As was true when Paula first reviewed Adrien Arpel's brand in the 1980s, there are more disappointments then strengths. This is not a line to turn to for anti-aging formulas despite the myriad options available, especially considering Signature Club A offers only one sunscreen. Dozens of anti-aging products and only one sunscreen should be illegal, but sadly it isn't, even though your skin will suffer as a result! Abundant research makes it incontrovertibly clear that you can't fight wrinkles, brown spots, and sagging skin without daily (and we do mean daily) use of a sunscreen designed for your skin type. And it should be loaded with antioxidants for even greater benefits.
Beyond skin care, the key to looking younger longer is to consider the corrective cosmetic procedures (Botox, dermal fillers, laser treatments) you feel comfortable having done. Indeed, the combination of a brilliant skin-care routine with the right cosmetic procedures can make a strikingly positive difference.
Whether you're intrigued by Signature Club A's skin care or makeup, there are only a handful of products to consider. This line is known for its large makeup kits. Although these may seem like a great deal, they aren't because most contain so-so products that aren't nearly as good as what many brands at the drugstore offer. They definitely don't have anything over the e.l.f. brand, which costs far less. Note that Adrienne's on-air presentations often spotlight makeup kits. These may seem like a great value, but they're not if the products are mediocre (most of them are) which means you'll be less likely to use them often, if at all.
Bottom line: You're not missing out on some anti-aging miracle or secret formula if you skip this line altogether. The curious should shop carefully, and follow our recommendations on what to avoid so you can be sure you're getting the best of what Signature Club A has to offer.

shot from Park, but easy save from the Everton keeper.
Berbatov have impressed me with some good play so far today. It has been long since I have seen him this good.
Rooney have been poor so far today.
What an opportunity for Landon Donovan . The on loan Los Angeles Galaxy star misses a great chance inside the box.
yeah. united were lucky on that one. everton have taken over this game, following their goal.
The United defenders have struggled a lot in this game. Making tons of big errors!
Half time 1-1 !
Ok game at Goodison Park, but the first-half has been full of mistakes!
Two great finishes from Berbatov and Bilyaletdinov. Promise of plenty more to come in the second half and I doubt we have seen the end of the scoring.
Second half is underway. Darren Fletcher has already been yellow-carded
i 100% agree with you, i expect more goals in this game
Good shot from Fletcher, but the shot goes just wide of the Everton goal

I was genuinely impressed with the cleanliness of the facility as well as the friendly service. Every question was answered, everything was done within minutes, and I felt very welcomed. We had visited 3 other storage facilities prior to coming here and they did not even come close to how well we were treated at Uncle Bob's.

Bishop resigns top city recreation postJuly 29,2013By Gordon Dritschilo
Staff Writer
Recreation Superintendent EJay Bishop resigned Monday, effective Aug. 5.
Bishop, who has worked in the recreation department for 18 years and spent more than a decade at its helm, did not give a reason for the resignation in the letter he submitted to Mayor Christopher Louras.
However, the resignation follows an admission that he exceeded his authority by spending roughly $50,000 on architectural services without consulting with the Board of Aldermen.
That activity was unearthed earlier this month and brought to the board's attention by City Treasurer Wendy Wilton. It was discussed briefly by some aldermen at a July 18 committee meeting and was expected to come up again at the next regular board meeting, Aug. 5. Board President David Allaire said Monday that the resignation had not rendered the matter closed.
"Like many taxpayers and fellow board members, I had a lot of concerns about the whole situation," Allaire said. "I still don't know a lot of the details and I think it would be incumbent on the Board of Aldermen to find out what's going on. I think the taxpayers deserve a full accounting."
Allaire said he expected to discuss the issue at the upcoming board meeting.
Louras said he accepted the resignation "after a number of meetings" with Bishop.
"He absolutely left the department much better than when he took over," Louras said. "I wish him all the best."
Louras would not say much else, except that he would use the next week before Bishop's resignation takes effect to choose an interim superintendent to serve until he appoints a permanent successor. He said part of that process will include consulting with the city attorney regarding the superintendent's responsibilities under the charter and city ordinances.
Bishop did not return phone calls seeking comment Monday evening, but did email the Herald a brief statement.
"After 18 years of service to this community, I have decided it is time to commence a new chapter in my life," he wrote. "I am very proud of the accomplishments of the recreation department during that time. I am most appreciative of my staff and the tireless effort they give to the community each and every day."
Bishop said earlier this month that he had contracted Bear Mountain Design, a Barnard architectural company specializing in hockey rinks, to design maintenance and efficiency upgrades at the Giorgetti rink. The work was parcelled out, and Bishop made weekly payments, usually of $2,900. This put the payments below the $3,000 threshold at which purchases must be sent out to bid.
Wilton and some on the board questioned those payments, and Wilton also asked why the money was being paid out of the recreation activities fund rather than the line for professional services. Each part of the project had its own contract, none of which had been approved by the board as required by the charter.
Bishop said he was trying to tackle work needed to maintain the building and that he believed he had the flexibility to do it through the recreation activities fund, which receives money through departmental fundraising and is designated for "continued improvements at the Giorgetti facility."
However, Bishop said he should have brought the issue to the board. He also said he had no prior connection to Bear Mountain owner Harold Mayhew.
Bishop, who earned $71,239 in fiscal year 2011-12 according to the city report, took over the recreation department in 2001. He was at the center of the campaign to build a regional recreation center and the leading advocate for the expansion of the facilities at Giorgetti Park.
He was also, at least in recent years, one of the most narrowly confirmed of Mayor Louras's appointments whenever his term in office came up for renewal. Allaire would not speculate as to why, or say whether he voted for or against Bishop on those occasions.
"I think he's done a lot of good work at the recreation department," he said when asked if he was sorry to see Bishop go.
Alderwoman Sharon Davis said she suspected those close votes were largely the product of lingering resentment over Bishop living in Chittenden rather than the city. She said many board members have felt department heads, who draw the largest salaries, would have a closer relationship with the budget and resulting tax rate as city residents.
"I kind of have mixed feelings, but I think EJay has done a tremendous job for the city," she said. "I think he has a good vision for the city and he truly, truly has a passion for the city. ... I will miss his vision and his drive and his passion."

Cute, what?! so i got this bag in the natural color and it came in today and came sooooo fast!!! im in love with it!! i have another bag from free people that i got a year or two ago thats the same size by jansport and it looks like a little black duffle bag and im in love with the shape so i wanted something similar but a bit cooler and a different color. this is it!! can definitely fit a bit more than your necessaries (if you dont have too many) maybe a book even good size for every day going out. the studs add a little edginess to the color and loook so cool and well put on. the quality of this bag is definitely great and well made. worth the price! which is quite reasonable i might add. gonna use it tomorrow thanks for making this bag! 4.8.2013

Rated 5 out of 5Â by tiffanyloves STUDLY!!! I wrestled which color to buy for weeks and finally settled on the black. I absolutely LOVE this. The bag is s good size, the strap is not too long, the studs are perfection. This bag will go with anything and everything. Very versatile. I don't own any black bags and I'm so glad I took the chance and ordered black with this bag. It is going to be my new every day purse. Gorgeous. Amazing quality as well. 1.15.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by freepeoplegurl77 Another wonderful FP bag...... A stylist brought me this bag in to me last night at a styling event. It is very cute and quite roomy. I have the FP Jeslin Studded Crossbody which I adore and find this new bag comparable to it. The studs are what make this purse unique. I found it versatile, dress up or down. Quality is excellent, price is perfect. I love FP bags and since I have discovered them I have said good-bye to $395+ bags! I love having multiple bags and I can switch out often. 12.7.2012

Tuesday, October 18, 2011
A secret vice, stolen moments, the giddy covert activities of a schoolgirl usually so well behaved and never naughty. The second her back was turned, up I would steal, silently, invisible to her ever-watchful eye and snatch mouthfuls, long pulls on a straw or sips grabbed by stealth while ice cubes pressed up against my hungry, eager lips, threatening to clatter against the glass, tumble out and give me away. There was something magical, alluring about those tall, dreamy iced coffees my mother would fix herself. How I detested the bitter taste of her morning coffee, yet how I loved the creamy, sugary goodness of these summer afternoon libations she prepared only for herself: a splash of coffee, rich with milk, ever so sweet like coffee ice cream or candies popped in your mouth surreptitiously, frosty with ice cubes galore clinking and jiggling so elegantly against the glass. She protected those summer treats like a mama bear protecting her young against scavengers and outside intruders, so I was reduced to snatching gulps each time she stepped away, leaving that bewitching glass of heaven unattended, ignored. Try as I might, no matter how small I made myself, hanging around nonchalantly, inconspicuous in a corner of the kitchen, waiting, she always knew what I was up to and the warning came out sharp and business-like… "Stay away from my iced coffee!"
Yes, this was the only form I could or would take my coffee, until those heady years of college when drinking pot after pot of strong, aromatic coffee in some all-night diner became a ritual. Thick white ceramic mugs placed in front of each one of us, my girlfriends and I, and that silver coffee pot crowned by swirls of steam passed from hand to hand. Sugar, milk and a plateful of thick, dense, hot homebaked southern biscuits washed down with our now favorite addiction. The taste for coffee came upon me gradually, so long averse to the disagreeable acrid flavor in those freshman years. Friday or Saturday nights after hours, after parties, after girls' nights in, slipping away to spend a few hours under the harsh lights of our favorite joint, hard wooden benches and sticky tabletops only adding to the charm and devilry, coffee and laughter just seemed to be a part of the sweet memories.
Did it take weeks or months to develop an inclination, nay, an overwhelming appetite for the dark, bitter brew? When did I develop a partiality, an absolute weakness for coffee? Even after all those years of iced, my predilection soon became for the hot, nearly scorching… I was once told a story that my great-great grandfather drank cup after cup of scalding tea, the hotter the better and I sometimes wonder if this tendency, this veritable need for my liquid to be hotter than hot is genetic somehow. Yes, one will rarely find me drinking iced coffee these days; pour it hot, halfway up the side of the mug, if you please, allowing room for scalding milk. Hot and milky and just a tad sweet, a third of a small, rectangular cube, more to caress, enhance and accentuate the exotic, troublesome, delightfully severe flavor of coffee than overpower it.
Which brings me to my love for all things coffee. Shall I condemn those long-ago purloined sips of mother's frothy, chilly drink or those crazy, joyous, giggly, tipsy evenings out on the town with my best friends? Shall I blame it all on nights spent sitting with the girls, gossiping, bemoaning our single state and complaining about men, spoons stuck out of pints of luxurious, silky, frosty coffee Hagen Dazs like so many invitations to serenity? Coffee-drenched ladyfingers the crowning glory of luscious Tiramisu; cool Panna Cotta like a smooth, velvety café au lait; espresso-drunk chocolate genoise, dense and moist, the perfect backdrop for a rich mocha frosting; a nutty layer of meringue kissed by the earthy fragrance of the bean, the perfect, crispy, lightest of dacquoise, cradling froths of cream like an edible, ethereal cappuccino… My pleasure, my weakness, my downfall… Do I, one must ask, break more easily under the temptation of chocolate or coffee? Coffee or chocolate? Chocolate, I must admit when pressed just a bit too adamantly, was my first love, seducing me oh so easily with that first taste. My knees still go weak, my heart pounds, my tastebuds tingle to life when the exhilarating, inebriating odor encircles my senses, that first sensation as it touches my lips, my tongue, whether dark or light, crispy, crunchy, gooey, or smooth it knocks me over and I am enslaved. Yet, yet… coffee is my very adult addiction, learning to love the provocative brew as I stood on the threshold of womanhood, discovering the two as one and I was moved to intoxication.
Riz au Lait is a simple, homey favorite reminiscent of childhood and nursery, the verdant French countryside and afternoons curled up in front of a roaring fire with a good book, comfort food at its best. Espresso kicks it up a notch, giving an adult twist to an old treasured family treat. Make it creamy and just sweet enough and the fascination takes hold, my subjugation to this magical potion complete.
Coffee-Flavored Rice Pudding for 6 to 8
7 oz (200 g) uncooked rice for risotto or pudding
3 ½ cups (850 ml) whole milk or half low-fat milk + half light or heavy cream
½ cup (100 g) sugar or to taste
1 Tbs + 1 tsp (about 5 g) instant powdered espresso
1 vanilla bean
Pinch of salt
1 Tbs (15 g) unsalted butter
Place the rice in a colander with tiny holes (so as not to lose any rice out the bottom!) and rinse under running water until the water runs clear. Drain.
Place the rinsed rice in a saucepan and cover generously with water; bring the water to a boil and allow to boil for 5 minutes. Drain the rice.
Return the drained rice to a medium-sized saucepan with the whole milk (or half low-fat milk and half cream), 1 tablespoon of the sugar, the espresso powder and a pinch of salt. Using a small, sharp knife split the vanilla bean down the center and scrape out all of the seeds. Add both the seeds and the pod to the other ingredients in the saucepan. Bring it just up to the boil and then immediately turn the heat down to very low and, placing a cover atop the saucepan but leaving it ajar, allow the pudding to simmer, stirring very often, for 30 to 35 minutes or until the rice has absorbed almost all of the liquid. The rice should be very soft almost melting in the mouth, not al dente. The pudding should be creamy, neither runny nor dry.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and remove and discard the vanilla bean pod. Stir in the tablespoon of butter and about 2 tablespoons of the remaining sugar. Taste and add as much of the remaining sugar until desired sweetness. Spoon into individual serving dishes, glasses or bowls.
Top with heavy cream, either a drizzle or a dollop of whipped. Dust with a tad of cocoa powder.
Riz au Lait is best eaten warm but this particular pudding is delicious at room temperature and even stays creamy when chilled (if, for example, there are any leftovers).
And for CAFFÉ CORRETTO RIZ AU LAIT, simply stir in a tablespoon or two (or three) of Amaretto or coffee-flavored liqueur at the end of cooking to taste.

Rice pudding has mythic status for me - my Granny, who was glamorous, giggly and always wore high heels, made one every single day. But a coffee version? Sensational. She would have adored it too. A wonderful idea, Jamie.

I never thought of flavoring my rice pudding with coffee but it sounds like a pretty nice idea ;)
Love it!

This indeed made me chuckle. I remember hating coffee but all things coffee flavored too. One day I tried a good cup of coffee and life forever changed. The difference? Maybe it was my mom making coffee from a can with already ground beans? There is no doubt that Starbucks helped and started my love of coffee journey!
I am not a rice pudding fan but you have me sorely tempted, yes you do.

I must admit, even as adult, I can't tollerate coffee. I like all kinds of things flavored with coffee and iced coffee isn't too terrible. But the hot brew I refuse to touch ;)
But coffee-flavored rice pudding? Now that sounds delightful!

When you come to visit I want you to make this for my little boy. He would live on a steady diet of rice pudding. I have never made it using risotto rice and I'll bet it makes it so much 'bigger' in texture and flavour.
AND, I love coffee but let me tell you even the thoughts of smelling anything 'coffee flavoured' makes me gag. I can't go there. The Chef makes iced coffee with condensed milk . . I think we could use this for the rice pudding :0) ..... Happy hump day!

Ahhhhh... the perfect marriage of two things that make me ridiculously happy! Swoon!
I love tea. I drink tea all the time. But whenever I've tried to drink 'only' tea, I just can't do it. (Coffee, you vixen!) I don't need to have a pot a day, but absolutely nothing can replace that first cup in the morning. So I've stopped trying.
And is there anything softer, more comforting than rice pudding? Really? It's like a fluffy blanket in food form.
Will absolutely be trying this recipe.
And - as always - superb, thought-provoking, and inspiring writing Jamie. xo

Jamie, I love love love this idea. Reading your post brought me back to my childhood summers in Italy. There was a gelateria right around the corner from my aunts' house in Rome. After dinner we would all stroll around the block and eventually stop there. My favorite thing to get was granita di caffe con panna. I am a coffee fiend and the coffee ice at that little place was the best. My other childhood coffee indulgence was when my mother or one of my aunts would take a tiny spoonful of espresso and drop it into the sugar bowl, then roll it around so that the drop of coffee was completely coated in sugar. One drop for me, one for my sister. It's no wonder I love coffee so much. I must try your coffee-spiked rice pudding.

Wow..I had a similar experience as you, except when I tasted my Mom's iced coffee when she wasn't looking, I grimaced. I'm of the minority, I never liked coffee. The only time I drank it was in college when I had to stay up to finish a paper or study for an exam. I took it black, strong, no sugar *no amount of sugar and cream ever changed my opinion of it* and practically guzzled it with my nasal cavities closed, just to reap the effects from the caffeine,like a shot of tequila (I don't really drink either, outside of the occasional glass of wine with dinner). However, I do like coffee in some baked goods and desserts. I would demolish a whole saucepan of your Cafe Latte Au Riz Lait without any manners or shame. It looks and sounds 'that' good. :) Great read as always!

Chocolate or Coffee? Can I vote for Mocha? Love them both, but I would also opt for chocolate, even though we grew up, like many Europeans, on cafe au lait before school. There are few dishes that scream comfort food for me like creamy rice pudding. Adding coffee can make it only more comforting.

Ha, I'm laughing at this "this veritable need for my liquid to be hotter than hot is genetic somehow" seems we have that tendency in common. My husband always complains I eat and drink my foods too hot, I am fairly certain I inherited this trait from my mother who is the same way.

Iremember always wanting to taste coffee flavored yogurt as a child and never being allowed to. Then when I was finally allowed to have coffee, it just wasn't as good as it looked. The only way I could drink it was with lots of sugar. My mother used to comment how much she disliked sweet coffee. Over the past years I have started lowering my dose and now I use just about as much as you do. And I agree, it has to be scortching.

I wait for the day one hundred years in the future when the UFC has become an all-grappling competition and some oik comes along and wins because he does this thing where he takes the knuckles on his hand and projects them very quickly into his opponents' face, catching them completely off guard as they are trained entirely in submission and submission defense. I predict, then, that Blade Windu's great grandson will argue telepathically that "striking is clearly superior to grappling" and that "if a BJJ player beats a Ving Tzun fighter, he's not really doing BJJ."
Also, Anthony, I haven't seen GJJ in Action, but I find it fair conjecture that neither of the parties intended to severely injure their opponents. Also, you talk about punching from the mount as if it were the domain of a grappler, considering how only grapplers have the mystical ki power (a blind reverence seen in grappling adherents previously only known to traditional strikers) to end up on top of an opponent when both are on the ground, when this is not the case.
At any rate, the question is of effectiveness, and effectiveness has to have a context. In the ring, grappling is effective, because the parties have no intent to kill each other and there are rules, written or otherwise. Thus, striking is neutered in the ring, despite its advantages in other fora, and with the help of bullshit like "95% of fights go to the ground" (when "fights" are police activity and "go to the ground" is an arrest being made), people get the gross misconception that grappling is 'more effective' than striking.
Sure, at the end of the day, I agree with kuntaokid, that the best fighers need to know enough of both to get along. But until the nutrider is extinct, he needs an ideological counterbalance, which I am obliged to supply."The morning glory blooms for an hour. It differs not at heart from the giant pine, which lives for a thousand years."

Since all the moves in BJJ can be found in asian arts perhaps BJJ is a TMA. Damn am I thinking out loud again. A TMA who can not adapt to a grappler/striker/weapon has not been training correctly and should beat his /her instructor with something heavy for stealing there money
In the fog of doubt and bad technique, pain clears the view to proper technique.----------------------------------------
After reading Jekyll's threads I bring back an old sig.......
Do you really train or just bore people on message boards and parties talking about it.
Very funny...and true, but the nutrider HAS a counterbalance. Go read some of the recent posts in the TMA forum. And it's only fair to point out that the rules to which you refer also include stand-ups and timed rounds, which only hurts the grappler immensely. Look at Genki Sudo's recent fight against Duane Ludwig.
In any case, this is a totally dessicated subject. You shouldn't even stoop to it. just be yourself Merc, don't worry about being a counterbalance...Come on guy! *Friendly punch in the shoulder* Give us a *cough*!
"If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - for ever."Normally, I'd say I was grappling, but I was taking down and mounting people, and JFS has kindly informed us that takedowns and being mounted are neither grappling nor anti grappling, so I'm not sure what the **** I was doing. Maybe schroedinger's sparring, where it's neither grappling nor anti-grappling until somoene observes it and collapses the waveform, and then I RNC a cat to death.----fatherdog

The same boring argument once again
Can't anyone here find something more interesting ?
Wrestling isn't superior to TMA, the wrestlers commonly are superior to the TMA practitioner. Just like you wouldn't beat a professional racing driver in a race or an Olympic swimmer in a swimming race (even if it were in the ocean).
99.9% of the TMA people (I am not including Judo in this context) train as amateurs, of the 0.1% that remains at least 99% train to become teachers not fighters. On the other hand, in the martial sports - Wrestling, Boxing, Judo. There are athletes training to win a fight, they are working at it much harder. Only the best talented among them remain as the coaches have no interest in teaching "low potential" students.
This gives those professional a great advantage over the amateur. After all, the techniques are very similar, and the same principles apply. So the better trained man has the best chance of winning, and in most cases, this would be the athlete.

Defining traditional.. Well in my book a TMA is a MA that will not change despite
evidence of better more efficiant techniques. A TMA keeps its "moves" because
thats how it has always been done, and thats how it always should be done.
Example.. traditional karate punching vs. a boxers right cross.
No contest.
1995's two-leg takedown, pushing your opponent backwards. This technique has
been replaced by the two-leg takedown pushing your opponent to the side,
so instead of ending up in guard, you end up in side-control. A TMA wouldnt
change this technique. Because grandmaster Chi-Hard-Wang said the original was
Well, thats how i define traditional in the MA.

I agree with Merc to a point. In a full on confrontation with intent to kill or maim, I will rely 100% on my striking training. But I still do judo and BJJ. why? Well most encounters in which I will need to use my training will be better ended via grappling than stirking. When I get into a fight in a bar, do I want to maim him or just choke him out? Even that mugger is better choked out or armlocked than killed. Never play around with the moronic juries these days.
So I think that the argument that stikers are neutered in the ring is tired too, but for different reasons. I think its correct, but realistically outside of a battlefield, if a striker can't fight well without his super fucked up maim and kill techniques than he is poorly prepared for any real world encounter anyway.
I have discovered the true essence of Bullshido: To crush your enemies. See them driven before you. And hear the lamentation of their women.
In short: to flame.

Cookbook Reviews – Older Reviews
Published in 2010 and earlier
For more recent reviews, click here.
Baking at Its Best
Allergic Living gives two thumbs way up for Cybele Pascal's The Allergen-Free Baker's Handbook. Pascal had all the right ingredients take on her second cookbook: an accomplished home chef, she earned her stripes in restaurant kitchens, and she lives with multiple allergies in her family. Add two more to the mix: she's a writer by profession and has boundless passion for baking.
With a team of 20 testers to assist, Pascal mixed, baked, tweaked and rebaked. Everything had to live up to her standards. The result is a truly superb recipe collection and must-have for those with – or without – diet restrictions. Celestial Arts, $29.95. See Allergic Living's interview with Cybele Pascal.
Enjoy Life's Cookies For Everyone!
Leslie Hammond and Betsy Laakso; Fair Winds Press; $21.95
Warning: Do not peruse while hungry; you may try to eat the scrumptious pages. This book is a great idea: the manufacturer known for its snacks, bars and breakfasts without top allergens (including gluten) teamed up with Leslie Hammond, a culinary expert with an allergy-friendly focus, and a collection of 150 awesome safe cookie recipes was born.
Young children will be over the moon for: Gimme S'more Bites, the Fantastic Fairy Cookies and Caramel-icious Apple Cookies. And for your own safety, don't stand between allergic women and the Especially Expresso Brownies and Ludicrously Lemon Bars.
Go Dairy Free
Alisa Marie Fleming; Fleming Ink; $19.95
Author Alisa Marie Fleming calls this a "guide and cookbook," and what particularly impresses is the depth of the former. This is no quick gloss-over: it's a comprehensive, must-have resource for those avoiding dairy. The author, who's well-known for her website Godairyfree.org, walks the reader through the dairy allergy basics and offers extensive lists of both hidden dairy sources and ingredients that will inspire.
There are thorough sections on dairy substitutes (homemade margarine, anyone?) and creative recipes, from soups to salads to curries and Make Your Own Pizza (without cheese.) Baking without dairy is usually a challenge, but Fleming rises to the task with the likes of Coconut Fudge Brownies, Orange Chocolate Chunk Cup- cakes, and Pumpkin "Cheesecake".

CRESTVIEW — In a few weeks, the endless hours Crestview High School assistant football and head baseball Coach Tim Gillis has spent with his eldest son, Matt, will come to an end.
Matt, a senior, played wide receiver on the Bulldog football team and is in his final days as a center fielder and pitcher on the baseball team.
"The journey has gone by fast, and any parent of a graduating senior can say the same thing," Tim said. "It's been better than I ever thought it would be. People that know Matt and maybe see him around know what kind of person he is and I'm a lot more concerned with that than I am what kind of baseball player he's become.
"But he's turned into a good baseball player too. I'm just proud of him and proud for him. He's worked hard, and obviously I hate to see him move on for a bunch of different reasons."
Matt's smile broadens as he talks about his relationship with his dad and what it's been like to play for him.
"There isn't anything like it," Matt said. "I love my dad with all of my heart. I love his work ethic and that's where I get mine from ... in everything I do, I do it 100 percent.
"We are always around each other. During football season we saw each other every day and then obviously during this (baseball) season we are around each other and it has helped us grow as a father and son."
Tim said, "I told some of my friends that have kids that one of the pluses of being a dad and a coach is just time (you get to spend with your son or daughter). I've been able to spend four years (with Matt) when he was practicing and playing and seeing him. Not necessarily talking with him every second, but being out there with him — and that's a special time for being a dad.
"That's been four fun years for me. It's something to cherish."
Although Tim played baseball and football at Crestview and went minor league baseball for several years, Matt said he was never pressured to be an athlete.
"My dad told me from day one whatever I do he's going to support me 100 percent," he said. "It was my decision to play sports and I love everything about it."
'You get what you deserve'
Being the head coach's son didn't automatically mean early playing time for Matt. Only now as a senior has he earned a spot in the starting lineup, which is something Tim told him he would have to do.
"He and I discussed this (playing time) years ago," Tim said. "You get what you deserve in life, and sometimes you have to overcome some stuff that isn't as much fun. He's had to deal with that some and it makes you stronger.
"I've never heard him say a negative word that he wasn't getting to play a lot. It's like I've told the other guys, you've got to be prepared because you never know when your time is going to come — and he's done that. Obviously, from a dad's standpoint he's a great son, but from a coach's standpoint he's a great teammate and a heck of a player."
Growing up Bulldog
It's hard for Matt to remember not being with the Bulldog baseball team. Some of his favorite times are being around the players while was growing up.
"One of my best memories (in elementary school) was when the team would come out here for the National Anthem," he said. "I would have my jersey on and my little pants. I would come out here and be a part of the team standing on the line with them and just start the game with them."
Tim admits that as Matt gets ready to graduate the emotions are running a little higher than normal.
"I've probably had a few of those (lumps in his throat) this year," he said. "I told somebody the other day I remember bringing him home and that seems like yesterday.
"You just learn over your life to enjoy the time you are in. Being around my son, and these young people (the other players), at a crucial time in their life is a blessing to me."

Hands on with the iPhone 3G!
Both Engadget and Gizmodo, those lucky [redacteds], got some hands on time with the new iPhone 3G. Ushered into a secret, dimly lit back room and likely surrounded by storm troopers, they came back with the following:
The Good
- 3G is faassst! 2X EDGE on quicky test, and can be Settings disabled (for those who won't spring for the extra $10?).
- Better phone quality.
- Flush headphone jack for realz!
- Camera software improved, same megapixels, better images.
- Build quality, even on the all new, all plastic back, felt okay. Lighter, better fit, and design-wizardly thin. Bonus points for Jony Ive!
The Bad
- Oh, cut and paste, where art thou? C'mon Apple! You nailed this with Mac 1.0!
- Chrome buttons are for realz as well!
- No WiFi 802.11n! This, the iPod Touch, and the MacMini are still the only Apple devices to bring down your network speed.
- No sign of video iChat, or video recording.
- No sign of A2DP stereo Bluetooth, and no comment on whether its in or coming.
- Dock now sold separately. Guess that $199 price point gotta hit us somewhere?!)
The Ugly
- The predicted after-market for your old iPhone 1.0 (though if you manage to catch some people stuck on non-Apple signed carriers who want a jailbroken iPhone, given the new activation policies, there could just be a resurgence...)
Can't wait to get your hands on the iPhone 3G? What are you looking forward to most? What's still missing for you? Let us know!

Hands on with the iPhone 3G!
Apple loves to slowly release updates to their customers. It keeps people hooked while they wait, at least in theory. That said, cut/paste, video recording, MMS and a few others could still be ushered out over time.
Yeah, they should have been there today, but they weren't, so the hope must continue. When has Apple ever released an "all eggs in one basket" update though? Especially for things that can come via software.
Why are the chrome buttons in the cons? I actually think they look decent in contrast to the rest of the device.
Umm lets not forget, NO ABILITY TO RUN PROGRAMS IN THE BACKGROUND.... They play it off by picking on another phone,making multi tasking seem like some impossible dream and saying its a foolish idea. Yet my Curve will run many programs in the back ground with ease.
Granted I will buy the iPhone "3G", only because and I sold my iPhone 5 days ago in lue of this event.
Give me safari, give me exchange with HSPDA and GPS. That will make me maybe smile, give me the simple function of MMS and multi tasking and this mystical feature some call "Copy and Paste" and I might have a heart attack.
VPN software but no copy and paste, jesus what were they thinking.
In his close-to-two-hour keynote at the WWDC in San Francisco, Steve Jobs discussed the new iPhone 3G, its new price points (very nice!), and highlighting some of its new applications (available soon via the developers website that is due to be launched shortly), which are sure to get iPhone and Apple enthusiasts in general excited about what is coming out this summer. One way I think they could certainly improve the iPhone in light of these new development kits, is to include speech and/or voice activated applications. In today's world where hands-free laws and sheer convenience seem to be putting a heavy demand on a user-friendly interface, what is easier than using just voice to control your handset? If you can dictate text messages, emails, conduct searches, dial from a contact list, play music and discover hidden applications just by speaking your request, I would think this would be some of the most sought after applications on any phone – especially the iPhone!
Both embedded and downloadable applications from Nuance Communications can do all of that and more...and they all work on the iPhone. The human voice is a powerful thing, and we think it is the next big step for improving the mobile device. We are excited to see what is next for the WWDC this week!
The 3G iPhone was more about the hype that was created. 3G and GPS functionality is good and i was even impresed with the enterprise support but when it comes to multimedia it fails. I think in the next version, ricj multimedia is one area where Apple should focus. Yesterday Steve compared the 3G functionality of Nokia N95 and the 3G iPhone but can he compare the multimedia functionality that Nokia N95 provides with that of the 3G iPhone, I think he cannot as Nokia phones are way ahead when it comes to converged multimedia experience. I like Nokia, but the reason I am supporting the fact that Nokia is way ahead in multimedia is, there are many Nokia handsets out there that have changed the way we use to loook at internet, gaming, entertainment and music.
So, I've heard that if you buy an iPhone now, you can take it in July 11th and trade it up for a 3g iPhone. Good idea, Bad idea, what?
Well, Yes Apple will be dominating the market, but a thing Apple are not good at is there consumers. lets just talk a bit about the old iPhone. thousands of costumers has been asking for copy / paste or cut / paste, but nothing happens. Even the new iPhone will not be able to do this. Why ? I personally have no idea, why they do not make this. It is a vital tool for any that has to communicate with a lot of people, and not share all the info. I have had the iPhone from when it came out and I'm still using it, many would say, " if you are not happy with it, get another phone ", but it is not that simple. Cause the phone is good and I love the mail ( it just doesn't support spam, so all your spam will go to your inbox, if the server you use is not a special kind ) and web browser. those things are great.
Why did the the iPhone not go well in europe. Well Europe is light years in front of USA, so it is easy to please US. To sell in Europe and Asia you need to have a "super phone" and to be honest the old iPhone was nothing close to that.
The new iPhone, will still have a hard time cause the technology is still old. 3G has been around in Asia and Europe for at-least 7 years. Europe was doing video calls on cell phones 6 years ago. Why do we not get that. why is there still no video camera function ?
Apple is great at hyping products and to make them work so well, you just need to have MOBILE ME. Apple is perhaps just for me a bit to "smart".
So conclusion on my long comment is that I do think Apple will sell a lot, but I hope that Apple will start getting up to the beat of the consumers and LISTEN to them, cause they don't
It is important to take care to look after your hearing, I actually like looking after my hearing and whilst I do agree with the above poster and I really hope I do not get shot down for saying this, but I guess it is essential to take all things in moderation.
I know this is going to sound a bit old fashioned but, I in reality like taking care hearing and whilst I do agree with the above-named poster and I really hope I do not get shot down for stating this, but I believe it is important to take all things in moderation.
