And yes i do think GSP's wrestling is better than Hendricks. I think next to Chael and probably Jones he has the best wrestling in the UFC.
Got a lot of soul searching to do. Sorry to everyone I've let down
When is this fight? November? Why do we have to wait so long. Can't wait to see this one. Should be good. Johnny has been on a tear!
When it comes to striking, GSP is better than Hendricks in every way aside from power. He's just a better boxer and kickboxer than Hendricks, plus he has natural advantages in a longer reach and speed. GSP also generally has better striking defense than Hendricks. Hendricks' advantages in striking is his power and his ability to cover distance very well to score with that power. Those elements alone do make it very interesting. I feel that GSP's jab is a great neutralizer to both elements but we'll see how that goes.
In terms of control on the ground, GSP has shown more because he has spent more time on the ground. GSP also has much better tools to get into dominant positions on the ground as he is easily one of the best guard passers in the game. And lastly, when it comes to transitions, i.e., going between striking and takedowns, GSP in my opinion is the best currently in the game. He didn't use that to the best of his ability against Diaz but it's tough to know whether it was attributed to GSP slowing down, potential fatigue, or if he thought he could get away with just shooting instead of setting up takedowns with strikes due to Diaz' poor TDD. I feel it was the latter but it's still speculation on my part.
With all of these in mind, GSP is deservingly the favourite, not just based on history and dominance but because he just has better tools than Hendricks. Hendricks obviously has a great combination of wrestling and KO power that makes this bout quite intriguing and could create a potential upset. I still bet on GSP because he just uses his skills and imposes his game plan well almost every time.
GSP's striking looks a lot better then it really is, because of his ability to mix striking and takedowns like nobody else. Georges has a couple of strikes he excels at, like the superman punch and the jab, but as far as pure strikers, Thiago Alves, Carlos Condit, Marv Kampmann, are all better "strikers" then GSP. And thats just in his weight class.
Also, I think his ability to mix greatly increases his wrestling results. Every one of his explosive, impressive, mat shaking takedowns comes at the end of a combo. There is a long list of guys with better, and documented wrestling pedigrees then GSP.
The first round of this fight is going to decide the whole thing. Either we see Hendricks blast GSP and finish him, blast GSP and rattle him enough he's off for the rest of the fight, or establish his wrestling and keep GSP looking for the takedown the rest of the night. If Johnny fails to set the tone, and lets GSP get into his groove, its a long night of nothing going right for Hendricks.
While I want Hendricks to win, and think has the tools... I'll believe someone can beat gsp when I see it. I just want Hendricks to bing it and watch a good fight, if he wins then that's just double plus good for me.

What happens when you have a search engine, but also some services that produce content? Well, you could use the search engine to promote those services or at least to leverage the fact that you have better access to their data.
Let's say you are Google and you own a very popular video site called YouTube. What do you do? Here's what Google did:
* YouTube was the first video site added to Google Video when it was relaunched as a video search engine. Even if Google added other sites, YouTube dominates the search results. Of course, YouTube has a lot of videos and a strong community that provides feedback, but Google Video still can't provide the right balance between YouTube and the rest of the sites.
* as part of the Universal Search, YouTube videos that appear in Google's search results have extended snippets that include thumbnails, links to related videos and the full video can be played inline. Google doesn't do this only for YouTube, but Google Video and YouTube are the only video sites for which you can play videos directly from the search results page. This decision was probably influenced by the fact that Google can't control the performance for other video sites and those sites didn't want to lose traffic.
But what if you are Yahoo and own a photo-sharing site called Flickr? The site doesn't have a dominant position like YouTube (6.42% for the US in July 2007, according to Hitwise) and an image search engine can easily integrate images from other sites.
Yahoo also shows extended snippets for Flickr images, but it commits the cardinal sin for a search engine: forget about relevance and promote arbitrary sites. For example, the first page of search results for [Google Reader] only includes Flickr photos, while you can find many other relevant images on the web (in fact, the first 49 Yahoo results are from Flickr). Other queries also show a very-difficult-to-justify Flickr domination. While Flickr is a great place to find photos, it's not very relevant if you want to find Vista screenshots: 9 from the first 20 results are from Flickr and all of them show Vista wallpapers. A search for minimal surface includes a single result from a math-related site, while the rest of the images are from Flickr.
The conclusion is that it's difficult to have a search engine and sites for user-generated content. You can be tempted to arbitrarily increase the influence of these sites and show biased results.

LOGAN — Letters will be going out this week to the owners of 10 out of 41 identified owners of dilapidated properties in the city of Logan this week. It is time to fix up your problem or face a lien filed against it in court.
That was the message behind 41 brown and manila envelopes at City Hall last night where the Logan City Council met to discuss several issues.
City Building Code Enforcement Officer Ray Perry discussed the warning notices and other projects at the beginning of the November meeting.
Perry began by discussing the FEMA/Wilson Camp project, explaining that in order to move people out of that devastated area the city will have to buy property then be reimbursed by FEMA.
"We had been working on one parcel, then the owner died, now we have to find a new heir," Perry said, adding that deeds are being prepared and that only properties that have a structure on them will be part of the buyout. Due to landslides on the road it is no longer wide enough to get a U-Haul into the area, Perry added, saying one yard has broken away behind a house.
Mayor Nolletti said two slides will be repaired on Lorraine Street and Upper High Street possibly this December, but that the other two slides will have to wait for spring to be repaired.
Perry said after the properties are bought there may be funds left over to address other problems, such as dilapidated buildings that need to be removed.
"We have 41 dilapidated properties, including some which are inhabited which should not be," Perry said of the envelopes with details laid out on a nearby table. "We will be sending en letters out in the mail tomorrow. It will be the ones we can get to the easiest, first."
Perry said he hoped that at least half the homeowners of the structures would step up and do the right thing and fix the problems themselves so the city is not forced to spend tax dollars tearing them down, and filing liens against the property owners to get reimbursement.
Mayor Serafino Nolletti said that demolition expert Mike Urioste, who worked with the city on removing the Number Two Parking Building has been contacted about putting in a bid to remove dilapidated housing and had done so. The Mayor said that there is no guarantee that Urioste would get the winning bid, but whichever demolition company did, they could expect help from the city in regards to hauling away the rubble.
Nolletti said the Central City Walk Bridge project would be moving forward as well. A legal ad ran recently in the Logan Banner seeking engineering services for the project. The deadline is this Friday, Nov. 23. Nolletti said that by the December Council Meeting he hopes to have a winning bid announced. Reps from one engineering firm were expected to be in Logan on Wednesday to look over the project.
Logan Fire Chief Scotty Beckett said "'tis the season" to think about fire safety.
Chief Beckett noted that during cold fall and winter months his department and others across the Mountain State see a dramatic increase in home and structure fires due to unsafe practices with space heaters.
"We say this every year, but it pays to check your wires, check your heaters, check your candles and be wary about cooking fires and other possible sources of structure fires," Beckett said, noting that recently his department had met with hundreds of school children and provided them with fire safety and awareness materials. "We try to work with our schools on fire prevention," he added. The Logan Fire Department will have handled about 950 calls by the end of the year.
"In the last 14 days we have ran on four or five structure fires," Beckett said. "Please pay extra caution this time of the year to fire hazards in your home."

What happens when your iPod or a cell phone gets low on power? You recharge it!
Your body needs to RECHARGE, too. But you can't plug in your body to get more power. You recharge it with rest and healthy relaxation.
How RECHARGE Fits Into the FIT Platform
Sleep is really important for good health. It affects what and how much you eat. It affects your energy level. And it affects your emotions. Here is why taking time to RECHARGE matters to the other parts of the FIT Platform.
You need to rest and RECHARGE to have energy to MOVE your body every day. Ever notice how hard it is to get up and get dressed in the morning when you don't get a good night's sleep? And when you don't sleep well for several days, it's harder to move all day long. The more tired you are, the less energy you have to be active. And if you don't get enough exercise, you can get more stressed out. Then that can make it harder to sleep. Whew!
Watching too much TV can be a problem, too. It's not really relaxing because your brain is still working. "Screen time -- and that includes TV, computer, even texting -- takes up all our down time," says David Ermer, MD. He's a child psychiatrist with Sanford Health. "It's a very unhealthy activity as far as exercise goes, and even emotional well-being." He means that when you watch a lot of TV, you don't have time to play and have fun with your friends. Playing with friends is a healthy way to relax. So are singing and dancing and laughing.
Too little time for RECHARGE can make you want more FOOD. When you don't get good sleep, it affects how much you want to eat. Studies of adults have shown that not enough sleep can mess with chemicals (hormones called leptin and ghrelin) in your body -- even after just 1 night. If these chemicals are out of whack, you'll feel hungrier and junk foods that aren't healthy for you look really good.
When you're busy and tired, you might want to just open a package to eat food even if it isn't good for you. It's easier to eat healthy food when you RECHARGE. And the best way to do that is to have a regular bedtime. To learn more about the FIT Platform and weight, see FIT Connection for Kids: Healthy Weight.
When you RECHARGE by resting and relaxing, it's easier to be in a good MOOD. When you wake up cranky in the morning, think about if you got enough sleep. Kids your age need about 10 hours a night. In a study, people who didn't sleep for 1 week became worried, sad, angry, and couldn't think well. Missing even just 1 night of sleep can put you in a bad mood and make it hard to think.
How to Make Time to RECHARGE
OK, so now you know it's important to give your body and brain time to RECHARGE. What can you do to make sure you get enough rest?
Think about what you do after school. Think about what you do after dinner. Think about what you do before bed. Maybe you need to give up some TV time, or get your homework done before dark. Then you can play outside or go to bed earlier.
When you make a healthy change, start with 1 small thing -- like watching just 1 less TV show. Then, after you get used to that, you might want to try something else. You can ask your parents for help, too.
Use the RECHARGE section of FIT Kids to find out more about sleep and rest. Power up for a healthy life!

May all your troubles last as long as your New Year's resolutions.
Joey Adams
May all your troubles last as long as your New Year's resolutions.
Joey Adams
Back to top.
"When I landed in New York I spoke almost no English and I didn't know a soul," says Brazil Butt Lift creator Leandro Carvalho. "After wandering around the docks like someone in an immigration movie, I finally found an old lady who brought me to the school where I was going to dance."
His tale is classic Horatio Alger. Arriving in America with only an unflagging work ethic and a goal, he's now a celebrity who trains a bevy of supermodels. Today we talk to Carvalho about why his new fitness program is going to change the way we work out, and what it's like to be living the American dream.
"It's busy!" is his most emphatic comment. "I feel bad leaving my regular clients so I work long hours [as my popularity grows] trying to make room for everybody." But now we're getting ahead of the story. Carvalho may have always been busy but he wasn't always in demand. So let's start at the beginning, where he was just a kid growing up dancing, which isn't so strange, given that he's from Brazil.
"In Brazil everybody dances. We dance all the time in celebration of everything. All week long we dance. Not just on special occasions, but for any occasion."
But for Carvalho it was something even bigger. He began studying dance at 12 with dreams of becoming a professional. In college he studied physical education because "they didn't offer dance," which led him toward a new profession, fitness training.
"I was teaching jazz and tap dance at first. As I learned more I began teaching aerobics, and when I was working on my masters (in Recreation) I began teaching kids. Some of these kids' parents worked for Petrobras, a large oil company. Word got out and they (Petrobras) hired me to create fitness programs for their employees. Petrobras is a huge company; they have these giant campuses. I opened ten gyms for them where I not only taught their employees but trained both the police and the firefighters (Petrobras employs its own police and fire departments)."
"This job paid very well, so I was pretty set up in Brazil, but then I got an offer to come to New York and dance with Merce Cunningham. This more than anything was my dream. So I saved as much money as I could for a year and moved to New York, not knowing one word of English."
"From the time I arrived in New York my life has been filled with angels," says Carvalho. First there was the woman at the docks. Now he works with many women who are "angels" for Victoria's Secret™. In between, there seem to have been others watching over him.
"After 8 months in America I was accepted to a new program in recreation therapy at NYU. Because I had the money to pay for their fledgling program they accepted me, even though I had very bad English."
"NYU let me work 20 hours at the gym so I could maintain my student visa. To get the hours in I would teach any class you can imagine. Step (aerobics), water (aerobics), Latin dance, rollerblading, kayaking in the Hudson River... anything they could think of. I also began teaching for FIT (the Fashion Institute of Technology) and all this work allowed me to get a green card."
"Things seemed to be going my way so I decided not to go back to Brazil. I applied to every gym in New York, and right then, the 'Latin explosion' hit. I was really getting lucky! So I started teaching a class I made up called Brazilian Groove,
and pretty soon, all the gyms wanted to hire me. Then Equinox (one of New York's leading gyms) paid me to stop teaching elsewhere, I met Allesandra (see part I of this interview), and things have just gotten busier and busier!"
"Now, by word of mouth, I'm training all sorts of actors and models (Blake Lively and Gabriel Garcia Bernal have been clients, as well as his stable of 26 supermodels), doing my classes, and still keeping my old clients. I like to go back to Brazil whenever I can, so when I'm here I generally work long hours for seven days a week."
Whether it's because Carvalho has been lucky, good, hardworking, or a combination of all three, his momentum isn't slowing. As more Brazilian trends get popular in America, he's the guy who understands the science of why.
"The gym is very popular in Brazil, but they are very different from the gyms in America. The big Brazilian secret is ankle weights. In Brazil, no ankle weights means no gym. Here it's hard to find them at all. In January I'll finally start teaching ankle weight classes. There's still a big resistance but it's changing as more Americans want to look like Brazilians."
"In Brazil Butt Lift we use some Brazilian diet techniques too," he adds. "Things like lemon and ginger. We use lemon to neutralize acids. Acids create a layer around the fat cells so they won't shrink. Fat cells don't disappear, they shrink. Lemon is alkaline. Having shots of straight lemon, or even lemon in water, helps to neutralize the acids around the cells so they can shrink like they should. And ginger is a natural antibiotic. People who are resistant to weight loss tend to have too much inflammation. So when we start a diet program two cups a day of ginger tea is a must."
"I combine many Brazilian techniques with what I've learned from working with models. Things like the green and white diet, I call it, which is a short-term cleanse diet where you eat primarily white protein and greens. It's basically six days without sugars, unnatural fats, processed carbs, and glutens. It's the kind of plan a model will use for a photo shoot."
Carvalho sums up his future with thoughts on why these Brazil trends are so popular. "Everybody wants to be sexy, and in Brazil it's just part of the culture. Bikinis, being naked on the beach, etc., it's all just part of who we are and what we always have been. It goes with the dancing, the vibes, the whole lifestyle. It's all about being sexy, and that's what America wants."

What makes a grain successful? There are scores of edible, delicious, healthy grains out there, yet we seem to have settled for wheat and rice. Take amaranth. It's nutritionally rich and it grows in the harshest conditions. Yet you've probably never even heard of it, and it's incredibly difficult to track down.
The reason we don't eat our veggie burgers on amaranth buns is that when the conquistadores showed up in the New World, they banned its cultivation because the Aztecs used it in their religious ceremonies. From that point until its rediscovery in the 1970s, it existed mostly in North America as a weed. Nothing like a little cultural genocide to ruin a perfectly good crop.
A quarter cup of raw amaranth is 180 calories, 30 from fat. It has 3 g of fat, 31 g of carbs and 7 g of protein. Fiber? Yes, indeed! 7 regularity-inducing grams! From a mineral perspective, iron is the big draw, with 20 percent of the recommended daily allowance (RDA)*. Magnesium is 30 percent, phosphorus is 27 percent, manganese is 80 percent, copper and selenium are 13 percent. You'll also get a little calcium, potassium, and zinc.
For vitamins, you'll find 14 percent of the RDA for Vitamin B6 and 10 pecent for folate, as well as vitamin C, vitamin E, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and pantothenic acid.
As healthy as it is, amaranth is surprisingly fun to eat. No wonder the Aztecs dug it. You can use it like any other grain for breads and stews, but if you want to party, you can pop it like popcorn. Put a tiny bit of cooking oil in a saucepan. When it's hot, drop in the amaranth and cover. Shake the pot continually over the heat to keep the grains from burning until the popping slows down. Transfer the tiny, nutty-flavored, popped grains to a bowl and enjoy as you would popcorn.
Another cooking method is to add one part amaranth to three parts cold water. Bring it to a boil, then let it simmer, covered, for 25 minutes. You'll end up with a thick porridge similar to Cream of Wheat, only unprocessed and actually good for you.

More than seven months since the earliest discussions began on the 2013-14 Aiken County School District budget, School Board members will cast a final vote at Tuesday's meeting at 7 p.m.
Public interest in the budget has been minimal this year. Three people addressed it at a public input meeting in May; two people spoke on the budget during a public hearing at a Board meeting two weeks ago.
The School Board took an unusual approach in pursuing a modest tax hike. The operations budget is expected to go up 5.8 mills, a mill being a technical term used to express budget needs for school districts and other local government entities.
The Board members then decreased by 2.5 mills the debt service budget, which provides funding for new construction. The operations budget would go up by a net 3.3 mills, increasing taxes for businesses, rental properties and personal properties by $19.80 per $100,000 value.
Owners of primary residences do not pay operations taxes in South Carolina. Taxes on their homes will be reduced by $10 per $100,000 on the debt service budget.
The School Board meeting will be held at the District office, 1000 Brookhaven Drive in Aiken.
In other business:
• Board members will meet in closed session for a legal update on proposed contract negotiations related to the City of North Augusta's Tax Incremental Financing (TIF) proposal. The City is seeking the School Board's approval for tax deferments on a small piece of property in North Augusta.
That agreement, and that of the Aiken County Council, as well, would make possible the TIF mechanism and allow the City to pursue to public and private major economic development. The City has promised much larger revenue for the 15-year length of the TIF and more revenue afterward.
• Construction South Inc, has submitted a $349,000 bid – the lowest received by the School District for a paving project at Chukker Creek Elementary School. The base bid includes 40 new parking spaces in the staff lot and 1,829 feet of additional two-lane drop-off loop.
The project is intended to alleviate issues with parking and with bringing and picking up children at the school.

Rated 4.5 out of 5Â by 45 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5Â by cjmarie28 Sizing for the larger chested! So obviously, this is a lovely bandeau-- nice lace, great for layering with looser tops that expose your bra, etc. I just wanted to throw my two cents in for sizing to help those of us with larger chest sizes. I am a 30DD, measuring 29" just under the bust and 35" around. I am normally a size small in FP because of my rib cage, but my chest is a large. I tried on and purchased a size medium in this bandeau with the full intention of wearing it OVER a bra, because bandeaus just can't give enough support. The fabric part around the rib cage fits just fine-- not skin tight, but not puckering or bunching, actually quite flattering. The cup portion comes up about an inch below the straps (fuller coverage over demis, less on push ups), revealing the top of my bra just a bit. Since my main objective is modesty under looser items, this doesn't bother me at all, but it may be a concern for others. Hope this helps! 8.31.2012
Rated 2 out of 5Â by Jen1212 Don't get how people keep this up While there is boning on the sides of this bra to help keep it up on your body, mine still will not stay up. I can't wear it because of this. I have very small boobs tho, so maybe I can't support it. 10.30.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by MAKatasonova Perfect! Very Versital Good for under some of the sheer blouses and good for really low cut blouses where you don't want to put on a full camisole. Very true to size! Perfect fit. I ordered a med and I'm a 34D.. It also stays in place! Thank goodness for that! 4.18.2011
Rated 5 out of 5Â by gratefulcait Love ~ Love the top - perfect for layering, festivals, hooping, etc. I normally wear a small in tops but I decided to order a medium because a few people said it didn't stretch much. I have a 34C bust and the medium fits fine. The cobalt blue is such a pretty color! :) 3.19.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by annalise Perfect! This bandeau is absolutely perfect. It's a great layering piece and fits very well. It' s also super flattering! Only set back is the lace on the bottom can be a little bit itchy, but not enough to deter me from wearing it. Highly recommend. Although I can see how this top may not work well for a larger busted person. 2.4.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Portia Sexy... This is a very sexy tube. Love it. I am a 36C ordered a medium. I wouldn't be able to wear this without a bra a little loose. Not that I wanted to though. My add a cup strapless bra makes this a perfect fit. 3.26.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by kel400 just ok i've been needing a strapless tube for under a few low cut tops and dresses that i have. this is ok. i read reviews saying the boning helped to keep it up but i'm not feeling that way. i'm 5'7", 118 pounds and 32a. maybe i'm too flat to hold this up. i bought an extra small and while cute and functional i just wish it stayed up better. still gonna keep it just not as amazing as i had hoped. 1.3.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by cbarlin perfect for peaking out I bought this little piece in the black color in a small. As a 34C, it fits great around my back but I could use a little more material for my breasts. I like to wear it with a bra underneath for extra support. I adore how it is like a crop top, I like to wear it under tops that show skin via the arm holes so this hides the areas that are showing and it is very cute peeking out underneath. 4.16.2011

use these all the time - good lenses, fit, look, spring hinges, durable.
The only thing preventing me from giving the glasses an 'Excellent' rating is that they seem to forever sliding down my nose. But the optics are great, they look good and I'm very pleased with them otherwise.
These seem strong and sturdy, for repeated on-off throughout the day usage!
I have been using 'computer' readers, with two strengths, but now need one full strength lens to see what I'm working on, and not so much down the nose...
I am pleased with these.
Although I have what seems a gazillion pairs of readers, I never can lay my hands on them when needed.
I had ordered several times from another internet provider, but half the time, the earpiece became loose and completely fell off. The lens came out of 2 pair. So, with a new site (for me), I am most hopeful that won't happen again. I ordered 3 pair (cost saving!). Immediately I received an email saying two of three could be shipped immediately and the third was to be backordered. So far so good...lenses and ear pieces are holding fine!
but, this time I received two pairs wherein the ear pieces were not properly aligned. Couldn't straighten them so they are leaning to one side when I wear them.
Otherwise I would have rated them Excellent. Optics are good and they are durable.

McFarlane's Monsters 2: The Twisted Land of Oz toys have started hitting retail and are poised to be one of the most popular (and most discussed) action figure series of 2003.
Oz is an adult collector-oriented line of figures based roughly on the legendary work by writer L. Frank Baum. Our designers took that core mythology and applied a little "twist" to it, creating an alternate Land of Oz and the characters that inhabit it.
The Twisted Land of Oz contains the following characters:Dorothy with MunchkinsThe LionThe ScarecrowTotoThe Tin WoodmanThe Wizard with ScientistClub-exclusive Winged Monkeys and MunchkinFor more specific information on this series, visit the online spawn.com feature at http://www.spawn.com/features/monsters2/.
Sales on this newly released Oz series have been staggering. McFarlane Toys will be sold through its entire production run by next week, making Monsters 2 one of the fastest-selling lines in the company's history.
As an added bonus to an already feature-filled line, our crack staff in New Jersey has created an Oz-based trailer. This is actually our first effort at a new spawn.com tool for promoting upcoming lines. We were still tweaking it when Oz was released, but if feedback is good, we'll create similar promo trailers for several upcoming lines. Check out the Oz trailer and let us know what you think on our spawn.com Toys message board. Enjoy.

Three days after trial, man faces new felony chargeJune 27,2013By Patrick McArdle
BENNINGTON — A Pleasant Street man who was found guilty earlier this month of recklessly shooting a deer from the road in November was recently arraigned on a new charge after police said he kissed a 14-year-old girl.
Joshua P. Hayes, 21, of Bennington, pleaded innocent last week in Bennington criminal court to a felony count of lewd and lascivious conduct with a child.
In an affidavit, Sgt. Michael Plusch of the Bennington Police Department said he met with a woman on June 18 who had come to the police station to report that her 14-year-old daughter was in an inappropriate relationship with an older man.
Plusch said he and Wendy Nolan, an investigator with the Vermont Department of Children and Families, met with the girl at the Bennington County Child Advocacy Center on June 19.
During the interview, the girl said she and Hayes had "developed this relationship" over the previous four weeks, primarily through text messages. She said she had told him she was 14 and he had told her that he knew he could "get in trouble" because of their relationship.
Plusch said the girl told investigators that Hayes had sent her a text message on June 16 asking her to come to his apartment. At the apartment, Hayes kissed her and bit her neck, she told police. She said the contact was consensual, according to the affidavit.
While she told police that Hayes had been drinking beer, she said she had not had any alcohol.

Noam Chomsky Crushes Ron Paul And Libertarians! (video)
April 14, 2013
Americans Against The Tea Party
An audience member asks Noam Chomsky, Do you support Ron Paul?Chomsky responds coyly,
In this video clip, Noam Chomsky describes Libertarian savagery retelling how Ron Paul said that letting a comatose American die because he had no insurance was a tribute to our liberty. Chomsky goes on to discuss how libertarians are actually extreme advocates of total tyranny because they support giving power to private unaccountable tyrannies (corporations) which are even worse than state tyrannies. Chomsky says this because even in a tyrannical state the public still has some kind of role.
Ron Paul is a nice guy. If I had to have dinner with one of the Republican candidates, Id prefer to have it with him. But his policies are off the wall!

Got a lot of soul searching to do. Sorry to everyone I've let down
Gotta love how he specifically asked about "HGH" even after already asking what they test for. Nobody must've even looked at that post.
Wait you are claiming it is a double edged sword for GSP? Just a few threads back you were shit talking Hendricks for not wanting to do GSP's VADA testing
So you blame Hendrick's for not wanting to do VADA and claim he must be using but yet when GSP ducks 'neutral' testing agencies you claim people are picking on him?
And in your scenerio above, GSP could just agree to the 'neutral' testing agencies requested by his opponents, not drag out the process and get it done - since he is the one requesting the additional testing and all.

what quote would you like me to address...the deer meat part which i figured would obviously come off as joke? i apologize if it went over your head. the Picture of Colon which i posted in response to a guy that said something about appearance and linking it to PEDs and i showed him appearance doesnt always mean PEDs? or the part where in the press conference for their fight when asked by the media if he would accept the VADA testing which he answered all i have im my system is [enter hendricks quote here]...yeah sorry if your a man of your word you do the testing - which is the response i gave (or shit talking as you put it). At no point did i say in any of the quotes you just went and got that hendrick is or has been juicing. the only time i every said anything even close to that was in this very thread when i said the following:
i dont necessarily think Hendricks is jucing, but i would not be surprised at all if he got popped for diuretics. Given the amount of weight he cuts and how "easy" it comes off because of the Dolce diet. I could possibly see something showing up in his tests that wouldnt normally...but with that said i dont see either guy failing the test. With all the talk in the media about it they would be stupid to even consider it.
Got a lot of soul searching to do. Sorry to everyone I've let down
Hendricks asking for a different testing agency is no different from Condit asking for a different testing agency. But both requests are different from GSP's seemingly strong desire to only use VADA.
And before you respond with the claim Hendricks initially agreed to additional testing and then backed out, yes, he agreed when the question was sprung on him in the media then back tracked when he learned more about the situation. Hendricks gladly said he would do anther agency..

Great stuff. I bet that coach felt like his world collapsed. From the blog about Hughes and his infamous DEADLY GAME PLAN:
Paul Georgieff: No, to be honest, he didnt spend a lot of time working on a game plan... (Hughes) talks about game plans like we laid it out exactly. What he gave me were more like suggestions.
Paul Georgieff: Serra got along with his group really well. Hed come over and have drinks with his guys and stuff, which was pretty cool. Hughes was more like a father figure. That works for some guys, but not me. It just leads to resistance with me. Ive already got a dad. So, its hard to say who was the better coach. It depends on the guy.
Serra's team doesn't look very impressive at all, it looks like Hughes got the 4 real fighters- Danzig and the 3 who have yet to fight. It's just that while Serra's fighters have been mediocre so far, their opponents just shouldn't be on the show, period.Tough is not how you act, tough is how you train.

Matt Hughes was a complete dick for not giving any props to his fighter and just thinking about his own ego after the loss. He could have at least waited till the next day, but even then what's done is done.
Over all it was a crappy episode as someone mentioned, too much reality tv drama and not enough training.
p.s whats the deal with filming a guy when as he finds out that he has a death in the family and making sure he has his phone on speaker. Thats going a bit far for TV filler imo. Pretty tactless.

No kidding seany.
One thing I've seen from this is my respect for Serra growing at the same time Hughes is looking worse and worse. We've all said it countless times, but one thing is for sure, taking this coaching job was a great move on Serra's part. Not only will he fight Hughes, but his gym is sure to be way more visible and his long term goals kicking ass.
Style: bjj/(not enough)MT--
Random question but what episode does Serra yell at Hughes' poster in the gym? He says something like "look at you! you look like you're holding your *bleep* to take a piss!" I skimmed through the episodes again but it didn't jump out at me... maybe it was only on a TV spot for the show?

This post is part of a weekly series of 'link-up' Posts which reflect on life's journey, old memories and family stories (see below for more info).
This is the season which is home to one of the most vivid memories I have from my childhood. I suspect its memory has endured because it was such a ritual in our young lives. Of what do I speak? Bonfire Night, of course.
Over the years and generations, this is an annual event which appears to have evolved. In my parents' time, and in my own early recollections, great time and effort was expended in creating and readying an impressive 'Guy' for, well, destroying on the fire later. To the non-British reader, this is indeed just as futile as it sounds. We would make a life sized effigy of Mr Fawkes (usually crafted from some poor mother's old tights whose crotch was unceremoniously stuffed with old newspaper), dress 'him' in some old clothes destined for the Jumble Sale (another much-lamented lost British art form) and sit him in a cranky old wheelbarrow. We would then proceed to push the flaccid gentleman around the street, knocking doors and begging *clears throat in belated recognition of why parents didn't approve of this passtime* for 'a penny for the Guy'. Ree Diculous.
It is not the fireworks which I recall with most fondness (probably because they were a bit shit), nor is it the fire itself. My memories of this seminal piece of my childhood are as follows:-
1. The jacket potatoes, wrapped in tin foil and reliably lost somewhere in the bowels of the fire. Later retrieved from the embers, penetrated by charcoal and mouth blisteringly hot.
2. Writing my name across the inky black with a Sparkler
3. The smell of the smoke on my clothes the next day
I hope to Fawkes that my kids get the rush which I just felt when they sit and remember their own 5th of Novembers in 30 years' time.
Link up your own seasonal memories! What are the bonfire night rituals you shared with your own families all those years ago? How have they changed now that you are a parent? Use your blog to create your own post, or simply share your memories in the comments. We're here for a while, so no rush!!

By DavidAirsoftGunner96 from USA on 2009-03-21 05:04:23Things I liked:The Daisy F16 Slingshot sports a simplistic, yet functional design, which is Ideal for beginners, The plastic handle was molded to form a grip, which adds extra Comfort when in use, the F16 is also Lightweight, and compact, which along with its Simplicity, makes it a Prime choice for beginners.
Things I would have changed:There isnt much to change in such a simple product, the Accuracy can be a bit Choppy at times, but you can Compensate for it if you are a pro with Slingshots.
What others should know:As said above, the Accuracy can, and most likely WILL be a bit unaccurate, but usually only if youre an Amateur (like me), if you are familiar with Slingshots (such as my Dad), then you wont even notice it.

By Mark from USA on 2014-03-21 09:32:29Things I liked:Great value for small slingshot to easily take anywhere.
Things I would have changed:Handle is kind of hard to hold due to built in finger grooves to small.
What others should know:The finger grooves on this very well might not fit your hand as they seem sized for pretty small hands and thin fingers. still lots of fun for money though.

To the editor;
In my opinion, Adams county, Ohio is the most interesting county in the state for observing biological diversity.
To participate in National Moth Week, four moth-ers gathered Saturday night July 20, 2013 near Lynx in Brush Creek township and tallied night-flying moths. Sheets were hung on a porch and illuminated with lights. Fermented fruit bait was spread on tree trunks.
During four hours of observation, over 75 species were listed including a male IC moth and three different sphinx moths. Most sphinx species feed on tree leaves. The hornworm caterpillar on garden tomatoes is a sphinx whose adult pollinates flowers.
Moths and their caterpillars are extremely important to native ecosystems, as pollinators and for providing the main food source for many birds, bats and spiders.
Conservation of moths includes protecting native habitat, avoiding use of insecticides, and either using lights that don't attract them or turning off night lights that are not needed.
The web should be filled with facebook and blog postings of all the mothing activity during National Moth Week. Check it out.
Barbara Lund,
Lynx, Ohio

Responding to the BBC's major new research into lesbian and gay representation, and its commitment to improve the coverage it gives to gay people and issues, Stonewall Chief Executive Ben Summerskill said:
'We're delighted that the BBC is taking these important steps forward and has agreed to do so across all its platforms and genres. The BBC is a hugely important part of our cultural glue and belongs to everybody. It's right that everyone in modern Britain should be reflected in its output.
'These findings confirm those of Stonewall research in recent years which show that both gay and heterosexual licence-payers want to see more realistic, incidental representations of gay people on their TV screens.'
'We recognise that the BBC has taken some steps forward in recent years and we're very pleased that it now intends to build on that progress.'
Recent research commissioned by Stonewall has shown that the BBC's portrayal of gay people has rarely been positive and realistic. Unseen on Screen, published in July, found that of 39 hours of BBC1 programmes most watched by young people only 44 seconds portrayed gay people in a positive and realistic light. Tuned Out, published in 2006, found that in 168 hours of BBC prime time programmes, gay lives were positively portrayed for just six minutes.
Seven in ten school teachers feel that homophobic language in broadcast media has an effect on the levels of homophobic bullying in school (YouGov for Stonewall, 2009)
'TV powerfully influences not only the self-esteem of children growing up gay, but also the level of respect that other young people have for their fellow gay citizens ,' said Ben Summerskill. 'If the BBC does what it has pledged to do, all young people will benefit.'

A week ago my friend emailed me asking me if there was an easy way to make double hourglass blocks. I told her nicely she was dreaming and she'd have to use the ol' cut 2 squares into 8 triangles then cut the tips off all 8 triangles then sew them back together then square up the triangles then sew them together and square up the blocks….method. Which takes f.o.r.e.v.e.r. and is a little daunting when you want to make a quilt with lots of blocks. So I laid in bed thinking about it as crazy people do, and figured out an easier way. Really…………SUCH an easier way. I almost cried it was so easy. And then I made this quilt, finishing up all the blocks in 2 hours.
I have a tutorial for you I should get on in the next couple of days, in the meantime this little quilt is going to a brand new baby I wish I could
have hold. The fabrics are a mix from my stash, same with the back. I think I bought that big brown dot at Hobby Lobby & it matches the Katie Jump Rope orange and yellows perfectly.
I'll get crackin' on the tutorial to post. For now though my 2 1/2 year old wants to "fight" me (a.k.a. I lay on the floor while he beats me up and sits on my head) and he's just found a pair of scissors which requires immediate attention…………….. bye!
