This isnt your fathers fair anymore.
The technology boom has hit the Western Carolina State Fair and they couldnt be happier about it.
Were excited about the marketing campaign ... Facebook and texting, said vice president of fair operations Warren Lucas. We needed a change of things in marketing and advertising and were pretty excited about it.
New to the fair this year, with help from the South Company and Ad Triad, are a slew of technological improvements.
Last month a new Facebook page went up, where fairgoers will be able to check-in on the page while at the fair on Oct. 26 to receive discounts on tickets.
There is a new texting service, where you can text 95454 to win prizes and be a part of the club, which allows you to receives messages and contest information.
Weve made quite a few changes over the years, I can remember when we had pay phones out there, Lucas said.
Weve been in business for nearly 40 years and weve pretty much stuck to the routine, but this seems to be working out. Of course, all of us had to buy new shirts.
The fair has also updated the website to allow online ticketing and Mega Passes to be purchased on the site for the first time at www.letsrideaiken.com. You can buy the passes, print them out and bring them to the fair where they will scan the bar code on the paper.
Also on the site you can watch the fair be built and see the action live everyday thanks to two streaming cameras. There will be a camera inside the tent and outside on the grounds to see all the fun.
It been going really good, I think everybodys excited, said Lucas, who has been with the fair for 36 years. Ive had to make changes myself, I even have a smartphone, but Im not sure I know how to use it.
For those of us whove been here for a long time, this is just what we do. It gets in your blood and you cant get it out. We want people to come out and have a good time.

She liked people and people liked her. I don't think she ever met a stranger. She grew up during the big depression and had many memories of how her mother, Hazel Kerr Frazier Cockran, had to work so hard and long to take care of Ruth and Ruth's brother; Bill Frazier. Her mother was her guiding light all of her life. Ruth loved to travel by RV and did for 250,000 miles. She found a cause in her 60's and that was to help Choctaw children to understand their heritage. She did this by working to get recognition for the Choctaw Code Talkers of World War 1, of which her Father, Tobias Frazier, was one. She talked about it whenever she had the opportunity. Ruth helped establish memorials at the Texas Military Museum and the WW1 Museum in Kansas City, as well as; going to Washington D.C. with the Choctaw Tribal Leadership and petitioned to congress to recognize these Native American Warriors and this has come to pass, with medals to be given in November 2013. She had a dream of naming a section of Oklahoma Highway, that many of the Code Talker group rode or walked on during their lifetime. This dream was realized on Friday, September 6, 2013 when 55 miles of Highway 3 between Antlers and Broken Bow were renamed the World War One Choctaw Code Talkers Highway. Even though Ruth was very sick with Liver Cancer she was able to attend the ceremony and smiled throughout it. She was able to stay with her Aunt Betty Kerr and see most of her relatives and friends.

Just an interesting little fact.
My son Joshua was conceived via artificial donor insemination, using anonymous donor sperm from a cryobank. He was born at 32wks, emergency c-section, due to Severe Preeclampsia. I didn't know at the time (I only found out a few months ago) that I also developed HELLP Syndrome.
About 3000 miles away, and six months later... Another baby boy was born to a couple at 32 weeks, due to the mother developing Severe pre-eclampsia. They conceived their son via artificial donor insemination, using the same donor that I did. Technically, our sons are half brothers.
Both babies had identical NICU courses, lasting exactly 17 days. Both were ventilated for 48 hours, given surfactant, and oxygen for 5 & 4 days respectively. Both bouncing baby boys have done wonderfully, and continue to develop similarly.
Curious, huh?

Nice way to try to mask Power as Convenience. When you can outright buy a power item that takes weeks to obtain, that is selling the convenience of....Power! This, your mindset, is all that is wrong with MMOs since the F2P era and arguably since 2004's rise of the casual MMORPGer. Like most my signatures say, "If I want a world in which people can purchase success and power with cash, I'll play Real Life. Keep Virtual Worlds Virtual!"

City of Heroes was the only MMO I ever really played, much less paid a monthly fee for, so other people's mileage may vary. I played CoH so much when it first came out that I felt the monthly sub was worth it, and I went full bore for the yearly sub to save a little money. At times when I got worn out on it, I was able to keep my account because I had a friend willing to jump in for a while on it. Eventually it went F2P and my friend was like "it's free now, so you may as well just take your account back, because I don't really care." so I did. Within 2 days I had resubscribed for VIP, for a year. The end of that year was approximately the end of the game (I think I ended up getting like 3 weeks of VIP at the end essentially for free or something, in any event they didn't owe me any money). Even paying for VIP I didn't gripe about the new cash shop like some VIP people did. At the time, as now, my position on the subject was this: I will pay money to support hobbies and games I enjoy participating in/playing because that's what keeps those hobbies and games from disappearing entirely. Not only that, but there were some really awesome costume pieces you could get quickly that way too. I think if the cash shop had existed early on, you would have gotten a lot of people buying respec tokens if nothing else. In fact, they probably would have complained that the devswere only nerfing powers to make you buy a respec again, so maybe it's better the F2P model wasn't in place yet at that point. Anyway, I dislike the idea of selling awesome powerful items to people as a way of making money, especially if those items aren't available any other way, but I don't have a problem with paying a monthly sub and/or paying for the game install disc at a store and/or a cash shop that sells cool looking extras and convenience items like respecs, server transfers, costume pieces, etc. I also think that just about anything you paid for in a cash shop or got in-game ought to be sellable on the in-game auction house or whatever (if there is one).

Nice summary of the drives behind the model (and bonus points for the LotRO shots :) ) As for the questions:
What makes you monetize or buy into into a F2P game? since all my games turned into f2p / freemium over the years, I had the time to adjust, getting familiar with the new world. First and foremost I buy services: extra character slots (altoholism ftw), unlocks, additional tabs, etc. With that I mark checked your Worthiness section as well, since I buy those only if the game is worthy enough for my money. Second, I occasionally buy convenience and cosmetic stuff as well, rarely, since I like it better if I can earn things in game.
Have you ever bought a microtransaction and felt you paid too much? nope, I try to avoid those deals... for example (and I wrote it many times in AoC threads) Funcom charges so insane prices on Trader and Bag slots that I rather drop in 1-2 months of subscription when I go back instead of buying those from the store.
Better yet, was there ever a microtransaction you thought was undervalued for what you got? yep, just check Rift, (maybe the most amazing model from a player's POV), I mean 16 credits for a mount? that's like... 10 cents :) in LotRO the mounts are in the $15-$20 range...

Most of my "Turbine points" have gone into Vanity items.
They would make a LOT more money if they incorporated some better looking vanity items with the level of detail that the new Helm's Deep vanity mount and armor has.

I would never buy any vanity items or any skins or anything like that, those are just a waste of money to me.
I generally only pay for character slots or bag/bank space. If there is some sort of premium package I could see paying for that, like the one month sub for SWTOR that got me their preferred status.
I bought an extra bank slot upgrade in GW2 and extra tabs in PoE.

I totally agree with your list, although I rarely invest beyond convenience. TBH, if there is a subscription option that unlocks everything and gives me an exp boost on the daily, then I'm all over that. Otherwise, I sometimes have difficulty pulling the trigger on things like experience potions.
An interesting aspect that you didn't really touch on that is a BIG deal to me is ethics in monetization. Some may argue that something like SWTOR is an unethical monetization scheme. I, personally, felt like a subscription relieved most, if not all, concerns surrounding that monetization. Where I think that my boundary lies is with these micro-transaction tablet/smartphone apps. I read an article yesterday that Clash of Clans had sold 51% of it's share for $3 Billion!!! I was like "Huh?" Apparently based on stats from April of this year, Clash of Clans was doing $2.4 million per DAY!!! That is arguably more, on a monthly basis, than WoW or any other MMORPG that is in existence today. For a game that, probably, cost significantly less to develop than what it generates on a daily basis.
Do you think that games like Clash of Clans, Kingdoms of Camelot, etc. push the bounds of what's ethical? Or are ethics determined by the individuals playing the games? Personally, these types of games are time sinks, with no real ending or even story for that matter. I think that, when put into perspective, I don't really see any of the current MMOs on the market today being bad at all in comparison to these apps.

I've actualy not yet purchased anything in a F2P game....since I rather dislike that style of monetization. I have kicked some money into a Kickstarter for a game, Pathfinder Online, that is going to feature a version of F2P monetization because I think what they want to develop is worthwhile and I want to see it succeed. So I would say worthiness alone.
For me buying items or bonus'es or "convenience" which I basicaly regard as nothing more then buying power with a marketing spin as cover defeats the purpose of playing the game or why I like to play them.
Note, I'm not going to blame or look down on the people who do make RMT purchases or the companies that monetize that way. To each thier own and as long as someone is having fun and the company is providing a decent service that's fine. However, for me doing so....it would defeat the enjoyment of why I'm playing the game in the first place.
There have actualy been a couple F2P games that I've played which were decent.... and which I WOULD have been willing to kick the Developer some money for providing a good product.....However I purposefully didn't make a purchase because doing so would have detracted from my enjoyment of the game and would have sent the Developer a message about my monetization preferences that I didn't want to send.
Frankly I wish there had been a "I enjoyed playing your game and thought it was worth a few bucks but don't like RMT or the F2P model....so here's a few bucks for producing a good product but don't be confused about my preferences" button. I actualy WOULD have kicked the Developer a few bucks if it had been there.
I was a long time LOTRO subscriber.....hated what Turbine did by going F2P...... but I stayed on for awhile as a VIP because it was still a decent game for awhile after that and I still had online freinds there. However I never spent a single Turbine Point.

However, lets not try to pretend it's something other then what it is. Buying an item that gives you an advantage is buying power plain and simple. It doesn't matter if the item is obtainable through other means..... that's kinda like saying a baseball team can score a run through gameplay, so buying a run isn't a form of pay to win.

As always, nicely written article. Even though i don't agree completely with "power/convenience" explanation but i believe an f2p game that does not sell power masking it under convenience won't ever make any money. just look at Rift now, no power selling under the mask of convenience, so f2p players don't feel inclined to buy cash shop items and people who wants to get fast cash selling cash shop item don't feel like buying anything from cash shop. some power items have to be sold with a mask of convenience, otherwise it is a fail.
i want an open world, no phasing, no instancing.i want meaningful owpvp.i want player driven economy.i want meaningful crafting.i want awesome exploration, a sense of thrill.i want ow housing with a meaningful effect on my entire gameplay experience, not just some instanced crap.i want all of these free of cost, i don't wanna pay you a cent, game devs can eat grass and continue developing game for me.

I used to buy vanity items in UO simply because, well, that was the only mechanic available to obtain them and I'm a collector at heart. But there was a year where no new content was added to the game except for a pack of vanity items in the store and it set off alarm bells that caused me to re-examine my entire attitude towards microtransactions, the effect they have on developer priorities and the experience they are actually providing.
Nowadays, I have a personal rule that if I start to feel drawn to a game's store, I uninstall the game instead. I feel that in the end I wind up in better games because of this.

I've just found F2P starts to grate the more games that provide it. It's really nice to shut that off while enjoying a game. So I just pay for really good games only now. If it's not really good it's not worth my time and F2P games usually aren't really good.
Fortunately F2P is thriving in app games so you get to see all the variations of tactics F2P throws at you. There's the occassional GOOD version and that provides access to more gameplay options (eg units in a strategy game) if you purchase them (or even earn in game by-product style). So I think forking out money is only valid for gameplay. The only good thing imo about F2P is trying some gameplay before buying.

Thanks for writing another article Matt.
What makes you monetize or buy into into a F2P game?
My list is very similar if not identical to yours. I buy for convenience, then vanity, and if nothing else I'll throw at least $5 - $10 at a developer if I play enough. The latter is sort of subjective. My thumbrule is, "How much would I have paid for similar entertainment in a single player title?" If I play at least a few weeks and enjoyed the time then I'll spend some money even if the game isn't the greatest. How much I spend and what I buy depends on how much I like the game.
My time is also very valuable so I don't mind buying convenience. How a game is divided up and sold also influences how I spend. I don't mind buying character slots or bag space, generally or content/dlc/xpacs, but if I run into walls where I must buy bag space or other things early on or immediately upon returning, then I'm much less likely to spend at all or even stick around. I found this to be true in LotRO recently. I returned to see a lot I would want to purchase in order to just enjoy the game "as normal". It was off-putting and so I chose to play EQ2 instead which had a much shallower reentry fee. I didn't need to purchase anything at all in EQ2 when I returned and chose to buy the next xpac + a 3 month sub because it was all optional and fit what I wanted to do in the game.
I do buy appearance items because part of my enjoyment comes from creating the persona of the characters I like to play. Since it's a visual game world I'll buy stuff to make my character look the part I've built for him. It's also one of the easier approaches to support the game past account conveniences (storage, slots, etc).
Sometimes I will purchase a power item, but if I can't get that through game play then the game won't satisfy me. It's adventuring, not shopping I want to do. Neverwinter and STO are examples of games that offer a lot freely, but lock the neat stuff in the store. I can play the entire game of Neverwinter for free, but if I want a great companion I have to buy it and that draws a majority of the fun out of the game for me.
One thing I hate the most, and Turbine is the poster child for this, is locking core game mechanics behind the store and over-monetizing every aspect of the game. Like I said earlier, they lost my money to SoE because it became an overwhelming annoyance. I like sub-free and don't mind perusing a cash shop for goodies, but I also don't want to waste my precious gaming time there.
Have you ever bought a microtransaction and felt you paid too much?
Not really. If I don't think it's a good deal, then I won't buy it. Again, Neverwinter is a good example. I bought the $60 pack that included a good mount and a top tier companion, among other things. Additional mounts and companions are very expensive, to me, and I won't justify the price. Cryptic/PWE isn't likely to see more money out of me unless I buy another combo pack in the future. Their item pricing is just too much, but like you said it hasn't been adjusted much so others much not feel the same as I do.
I really like how EQ2, Rift, and Tera price things, especially Tera. EQ2 has very reasonable prices on most things with some options to spend more if you want. As store items age their price usually drops dramatically. Rift offers a ton of stuff at very low prices with a few expensive appearance items. Tera is great because they offer purchases geared for every style. You can rent many items (some apparently like this), you can purchase them for a single character, or you can purchase account wide if you're an altaholic. The other key thing about Tera is that all the functionality you really want from the game is offered free of charge with cash shop purchases or the subscription augmenting the game. It's currently my favorite setup.
Was there ever a microtransaction you thought was undervalued for what you got?
Po_gg nailed it with Rift. I think Trion is undervaluing some items and even though a few cosmetics are rather spendy, most stuff is a little low. One thing I think Rift does well that I failed to mention above is their loyalty reward setup. Instead of outright purchases unlocking things like Auction Sales, it's based on how much you spend overall. A small $10 - $15 purchase (through the sub or store) will unlock those features and this helps inhibit gold sellers and multi-account creators. Still, overall I think Trion could normalize their cash shop slightly. I think they made the mistake of undervaluing the shop items as it is much harder to sell a price increase to your customers than it is a price reduction.

With the more aggressive F2P games, I like to apply Sparrow's maxim: 'take what you can, give nothing back". However, if the game does not go out of its way to antagonise me, then I might occasionally purchase something from the services menu: a rename, a transfer, a redesign.

What makes you monetize or buy into into a F2P game?
Pretty much the same thing that makes me buy stuff at the mall. If I think something looks, goofy, neat, entertaining, etc I'll buy it. The other thing I'll sometimes get is the starter kits or founders packs for when I'm playing an MMO with my son. That usually allows us to have some kind of matching thing between our characters or the game cash to buy a matching thing.
Have you ever bought a microtransaction and felt you paid too much?
Nope, but I have found that certain items seems to devalue for me over time, specifically consumables.
Better yet, was there ever a microtransaction you thought was undervalued for what you got?
Yes. SMITE... #35 get every character they have PLUS every character they ever release afterwards. http://www.hirezstudios.com/smitegame/sidebar/ultimate-god-pack

"It is double pleasure to deceive the deceiver". - Niccolo Machiavelli
the question should be What makes me NOT monetize?
People tend to say that selling power in a cashs hop is OK if you can get the same item or better in game just by playing. THIS is wrong and needs to change. The fact that we as customers are allowing them to seel power in the cash shop (no matter how little power is in question) we are opening the doors to their greed one step at a time. They are businesses so they will always look for ways and loopholes to make us pay more and more.
I will not pay a dime if a game sells power, even if its a little power.
a quote from Matt Miller's article, "If World of Warcraft sold a mount on their cash shop that was faster than any other mount in the game available by any other means, that would be selling power."
That is not selling power, If i buy that faster mount i am not more powerful than you, i still can not beat you any easier by purchasing a faster mount. That is not power unless the mount gives passive stat increase to my character just by having the mount in my stable UI.
I repeat. Allowing them to sell "less powerful" gear in cash shop is wrong. That is accepting their ways to sell power little by little and with time that will keep increasing and when that happens, they will already have a reason to say they have been doing it for many years and people accepted it. The blame can only be ours as players and customers for allowing greedy practices.

I usually support a game I love by subbing for long stretches. After that, I'll buy the game currency when it's on sale - maybe once a year or so, though I may not have a particular use for it at the time.
And then I use that game currency mostly for convenience items but occasionally for an upgrade. Since I don't have a lot of time to play, my characters will always be behind the stat curve so I don't have a problem buying items as long as they can also be obtained in game.
The only time I've ever crossed that boundary was buying the sparkle pony in WoW, because I'd always wanted one.

Personally, I've only ever paid for one thing - Content.
In DCUO for instance, F2P up to a point, but then bought the DLC packs as they came out to have more things to do. In GW2 I bought a character slot as I wanted to try a 5th race and I had already used up my initial 5 slots. Expansion packs would be fine too (as long as there is something worthwhile in the pack).
Frankly, I'd probably be ok with paying small sums regularly for content patches. That would give me the option of buying the content I like while staying away from the content I don't. Though asking the consumer to make constant value judgements might be ego-bruising to the development teams.
As a player, I simply don't understand most of the 4 things listed in the article though. If a game is purposefully inconvenient to the point where I would feel the need to buy something to make it less painful, I simply wouldn't play that game. Same with the power argument - if I was so underpowered using the items the game supplies that I feel it necessary to buy stuff just to play; again off to the junkpile.
Vanity items particularly perplex me. I just cannot for the life of me ever see myself paying actual cash for a virtual item just for the purpose of having a good looking avatar in game. Just does not compute.

Brandon Kraft spotted a new feature in the Google Apps version of Google Calendar: attaching files from Google Docs and photos from Picasa Web Albums to an event. Sometimes you can provide all the details of an event in the description box and you may need to attach photos, presentations and other useful documents.
What I don't understand is why there's no rich-text editor in Google Calendar, where you could drag and drop content from web pages and even images. Hopefully, when GDrive finally launches, you'll be able to access the files stored in Google's Web Drive from any other Google service.

Low-cost, high-return concrete repairs
(NewsUSA) - In today's highly competitive housing market, every advantage counts when attracting potential buyers to your home.
Traditional home upgrades, like bathroom and kitchen remodels, return less than 70 percent of their cost, so homeowners are looking elsewhere for project ideas.
According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), 50 percent of the time a home is sold before a buyer even gets out of their car. Improving a home's exterior, or curb appeal, can give buyers better first impressions.
For exteriors, the some companies offer a line of inexpensive, easy-to-use products whose impact can mean the difference between another week on the market or making a deal:
Spruce Up Driveways
If a potential buyer pulls into your driveway and sees small cracks and mystery stains, they're probably walking away with a bad first impression.
A concrete resurfacing mixture offers an economical alternative to replacing old concrete. Following a thorough pressure washing, homeowners just mix, pour and squeegee. The resurfacer results in a durable, wear-resistant surface that can be driven on after 24 hours.
Quick Patching
Patching unsightly cracked or pitted concrete surfaces such as steps, driveways and sidewalks can be an easy improvement using a concrete patcher.
Fix Small Cracks
For minor concrete repairs, like cracks less than half an inch in width, a crack seal can offer an easy solution -- simply shake the ready-to-use product and pour it directly from its bottle. Once applied, the material blends with the natural color of concrete for a uniform finish, becomes dry to the touch in 30 minutes and maintains adhesion throughout freeze-thaw temperature cycles.

Hoblet president-elect for national association
Dr. Kent Hoblet, dean of the Mississippi State University College of Veterinary Medicine, has been selected president-elect for the Association of American Veterinary Medical Colleges.
Hoblet will serve in this role until he becomes president of the association in July 2013. The AAVMC coordinates the affairs of all 28 U.S. veterinary medical colleges, all five Canadian colleges of veterinary medicine, nine U.S. departments of veterinary science, eight U.S. departments of comparative medicine, eight international veterinary schools, three veterinary medical education organizations, and four affiliate international veterinary schools. The association represents more than 4,000 faculty, 5,000 staff, 10,000 veterinary students, and 3,000 graduate students at these institutions.
"Having Dr. Hoblet in this role represents a significant commitment on his part to growing opportunities for veterinary students here and around the country," said Dr. Greg Bohach, vice president of MSU's Division of Agriculture, Forestry and Veterinary Medicine. "This is another example of how the college and division are working within and beyond our region to focus on issues facing our students now and as they enter their careers."
Hoblet, who has been MSU-CVM's dean since 2006, sees his position with AAVMC as an opportunity to coordinate nationally on many new initiatives in veterinary medicine.
"This is an exciting time to be in the field of veterinary medicine, and I am pleased to be working with AAVMC's board," Hoblet said. "We'll be building research and global medicine opportunities to further energize today's students and the profession as a whole."
Hoblet earned his doctor of veterinary medicine degree and master's degree at Ohio State University. He was in private practice for 12 years in Ashland, Ohio, before joining the OSU faculty in 1983. Since 1991, he has served as chair of the Department of Veterinary Preventive Medicine and as the university's Extension veterinarian for dairy cattle.

New York City Students Pay To Store Cell Phones
By editor
Originally published on Thu October 4, 2012 10:19 am
Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. Think of this like valet parking for your car. Students in New York City have valet parking for their phones. Cell phones are banned in New York schools, but students cannot bear to be without them on the subway ride to school and back. So entrepreneurs have been parking trucks near the schools. And there you can leave your phone for a dollar a day - or about $180 per year. The minute school is out students can go back to texting or being baffled by those new Apple maps. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

The mother of a 12-year-old Andrews child that was killed in a fire in March is one of three people that have been charged in connection with the fire.
The fire occurred March 29 at a mobile home at 10 James Drive in Andrews.
The child, Dave S. Coombs was in the mobile home alone when the fire began, according to Georgetown County Deputy Coroner Chase Ridgeway.
Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Carrie Cuthbertson reports the child's mother,
Marissa Cohen, 39, has been charged with one count of Conspiracy to Commit Arson and Arson in the First Degree.
Also charged with the same offenses are James Miller, 40, of 6 Soapberry Place and Randy Collins, 43, years of age, of 16 Clair Street in Andrews.
"As a result of the investigation, Georgetown County Sheriff's Investigators in conjunction with investigators of the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) determined the fire was deliberately set," Cuthbertson said. "Throughout the course of the investigation, Marissa Cohen failed to cooperate with law enforcement."
Cohen moved to Kentucky shortly after the incident.
When firefighters arrived on the scene the night of March 29, flames were billowing from the mobile home.
Coombs was found inside the mobile home. Ridgeway said the child's mother arrived on the scene after the fire started.
Investigators were told the family had moved out of the mobile home on James Drive and into a new home.
Investigators were also told Coombs attended a birthday party that night and did not answer calls from his mother.
"In the process of the investigation, it was determined (Coombs) returned to the house instead of their new home without the family's knowledge," Cuthbertson said in March.
When asked why the three were not charged with murder of a another charge for the child's death, Cuthbertson said she was told by the investigator "the charges are appropriate for the case."
According to South Carolina law, a person is charged with arson in the first degree if they are accused of "willfully and maliciously" setting fire to a house or other dwelling "which results, either directly or indirectly, in the death of a person."
The sentence for that charge, if convicted, is not less than 30 years.
Cuthbertson said it is unknown when Cohen will be extradited back to Georgetown County.

I would love to see him fight for the Title next but if not, why not the winner of Rashad/Cheal? OR Hendo/Belfort winner. All 4 of those fighters, if they win would look like a great #1 contender match opportunity.
I would love to see him fight for the Title next but if not, why not the winner of Rashad/Cheal? OR Hendo/Belfort winner. All 4 of those fighters, if they win would look like a great #1 contender match opportunity.
Fedor Emelianenko is the Greatest P4P MMA fighter to ever walk the earth, hands down.
I don't know what his stance is on fighting Lil Nog, but either that or Davis works best.
IMO, looking at the LHW division and its overall depth, I think he's earned the shot, especially since we can't really tell where Cormier stands at LHW. I was somewhat surprised they booked Shogun against Te Huna if Dana isn't giving next dibs to Glover, since a Shogun/Teixeira matchup would've really done wonders to build his name prior to the shot. Hell, if they really wanted to book another fight to solidify Glover, why the hell not pull Sonnen/Evans and do Glover/Evans, which would again, solidify him against the top tier and if he loses, put up a still strong Rashad.
My bet would be Phil Davis, but I don't really see Phil offering too much to Glover or a retaining Jones for that matter.
If it wouldn't be against Davis it would be pointless. Honestly he is stepping in line infront of Davis but the UFC has never made sense when it comes to title shots anyway.
Dude, Im a wrestler. Im the best wrestler in MMA. Wrestling IS, was and always has been the most dominate form of mix martial art on the planet. Thats all there is to it. We all know it, some people want to fight it, some people want doubt it but wresters rule the MMA world. -
Ben Askren
I have been quite on this issue but where the hell does beating Ryan Bader earn you a title shot? Glover hasnt beat anyone to earn a shot I dont care how long his win streak is! Te huna Maldanado and Bader really? God damn Tito put Bader away. He should fight Davis and atleast earn a shot, damn UFC title shots becoming more of a Joke
O come on Bader was undefeated then and that was before Tito put him away
All manner of men came to work for the News: everything from wild young Turks who wanted to rip the world in half and start all over again -- to tired, beer-bellied old hacks who wanted nothing more than to live out their days in peace before a bunch of lunatics ripped the world in half.

The Rum Diary
Yeah, Bye.
Dont fret fanboys... I completely understand your reluctance to have Glover fight Jones.. The longer Tex has to fight other people, the longer Jones gets to keep his title, right?

A growing number of residents from Thurmond are upset.
The United States Postal Service has established a review process for certain Post Offices known as the "POST Plan," which can ultimately determine the destiny of its post office.
The Postal Service has been soliciting the Thurmond community through a survey to help determine the best course of action for providing postal services in the future, which could involve cutting hours or even discontinuing service.
The Postal Service will hold a meeting at the Thurmond Post Office at 2301 Thurmond Road on Tuesday at noon to answer questions and provide additional information about POST Plan. At the meeting, local management will share the results of the survey, answer questions, and solicit input regarding the time of day the Post Office will be open.
"Although survey results will be known and shared, the Postal Service will not make a final decision regarding this office until after the public meeting," said Dawn Lambert, Postal Plan coordinator. "This will enable the Postal Service to obtain all community input and opinions, from both the surveys and the meeting, before making a final decision."
However, the timing of the meeting has residents rattled and wondering if the Postal Service is in touch with the community.
Wanda Mccann of Thurmond told The Tribune that she understands the Post Offcie is going to take a look at belt-tightening options, but if they wanted input from a community that the meeting should be held at a time when the public is most likely to attend.
"They'll probably be few people who will attend," said Mccann.
Susan McBride of Thurmond agreed.
"It just doesn't make sense to hold these types of informative meetings at a time when working families have to choose between a stamp and their job," stated McBride who will be unable to attend because she can't miss work. "The community center is available. Why don't they hold the meeting there in the evening instead of a tiny little post office too."
The Postal Service did not respond to our question relating to the timing of the public hearing.
The U.S. Postal Service's net loss widened to more than $5 billion last year, and the cash-strapped agency warned on Thursday that without help from the U.S. Congress it will face low cash and be unable to borrow money this fall.
The Postal Service, who relies on the sale of stamps and other products rather than taxpayer funding, has been struggling for years as Americans increasingly communicate online and as payments for future retiree health benefits and other obligations drain its cash.

The Knott Central Patriots overcame a 10-point second half deficit to defeat the Cordia Lions Saturday, as the Lions dropped to 8-4 on the season.
Cordia took the lead early as guard A.J. Tagaloa scored the first of his 16 first half points with a jumper, while Knott Central would not hit a shot until the 6:27 mark when an Evan Hall score tied the game at 2-2.
The Patriots later took the lead, and extended it to four points off a three from sophomore Simon Christon at the 1:15 mark. But Cordia would quickly even the score, as Tagaloa first hit two free throws and then scored a quick layup with 35 seconds left in the quarter, knotting the game at 10 before Knott Central's Camron Justice hit a contested three at the buzzer, giving the Patriots the 13-10 lead going into the second quarter.
Cordia wasted little time getting on the board in the second period, and quickly took the lead off a score by freshman guard A.J. Chisolm, which was followed by a steal and score by senior Dondre Warren, pushing Cordia ahead 14-13.
Knott Central's Chance Cornett hit a jumper to push the Patriots ahead 15-14, but was quickly followed by a three from Tagaloa, giving the Lions the 17-15 lead.
Cordia continued to push the tempo, and a third three from Tagaloa at the 3:32 mark pushed the score to 27-22. Cordia eventually went up by nine off of a layup by Chisolm, but a Knott Central score would cut the lead to seven going into the half.
Cordia extended their lead to 10 early in the third quarter as Austin Combs nailed a three to open the second half, but Knott Central would mount a comeback and eventually retake the lead for good at the 1:10 mark, when an Evan Hall score put the Patriots ahead 45-44.
It was the play immediately following Combs' three-pointer that the game began to turn in the Patriots' favor, said Cordia Coach Rodrick Rhodes. That was when Justice pulled up for a shot from behind the arc and drew a foul, later hitting three straight foul shots.
"We went up by 10 and I felt the momentum was our way," Rhodes said. "Then we came down right after we hit the three, we fouled Justice on the three-point shot, and that's when it seemed like the wheels came off a little bit."
The Patriots continued to put points on the board, while Cordia went ice cold on offense. The Lions would not make a single field goal in the fourth quarter, as their only scores came from free throws made by Tagaloa and Warren.
Knott Central went on to win the game by a final of 59-48, improving to 12-2 on the season. Hall lead the Patriots in scoring with 18, while Justice added 17 on the night.
"We just kind of got away from what we did in the first half," Rhodes added after the game. "We wanted to really make them work defensively, we wanted to take time off the clock."
Cordia will hit the road for their next two games, traveling to Wolfe County on Monday, and then to Buckhorn on Jan. 10. And while Cordia could potentially play Knott Central two more times this season in the upcoming All A tournament and in the postseason district tournament, Rhodes said his team will take the remaining schedule one game at a time.
"This game is behind us, and now we've got to go on the road and see what we're made of," he said. "I think I've got a bunch of tough kids in my locker room, and we'll be put to the test against Wolfe and Buckhorn."
Cordia stats: A.J. Tagaloa: 20 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists; Dondre Warren: 14 points, 12 rebounds, 1 block; A.J. Chisholm: 11 points, 2 rebounds, 3 steals; Austin Combs: 3 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist; Zack Owens: 1 rebound, 2 steals, 3 assists

AIRPORT BOTTOM — Rainy weather and slippery road conditions contributed to two separate accidents with a total of six vehicles involved that occurred on Rt. 52 in the Airport Bottom community near Delbarton, that were approximately 1,000 feet from one another on Wednesday afternoon.
According to Sonia Smith, an eye witness to the accident, a white car had stopped in the middle of the road without using a turn signal, directly below a curve in the road which means it was hid from the view of traffic traveling in the northbound lane. The unknown driver, who left the scene, was attempting to turn into Airport Bottom from the main road. Smith was able to avoid colliding with the stopped vehicle but a 16 year-old juvenile behind her wasn't as fortunate.
The juvenile, who was operating a Toyota Camry, clipped the rear of a Ford Fusion driven by Briona Smith, an 18 year-old Mingo Central Student, and then proceeded to collide head-on with a Chrysler PT Cruiser operated by Janelle Martin, who had her two young children in the vehicle with her. Smith and Martin, as well as her children, were transported by ambulance to the Williamson Memorial Hospital (WMH) for evaluation of minor injuries sustained in the accident. The juvenile had bruising to both legs and to his left forearm but was not transported from the scene for medical care. The PT Cruiser and the Camry are thought to be a total loss, according to members of the Delbarton Volunteer Fire Department (DVFD) who responded to the call.
Within a matter of minutes, a Chevrolet Colorado driven by a 17 year-old juvenile rounded the curve and was not able to stop his truck after seeing the line of traffic and made contact with two vehicles, a Chevrolet Trailblazer driven by Melissa Teeters and a Saturn Aura operated by April Edwards. Both vehicles suffered minor to moderate damage but the Colorado was damaged extensively. The juvenile driver was transported to WMH and was said to have suffered a head injury and the women were uninjured.
The accident remains under investigation by Mingo County Sheriff's Deputy Barry Moore. A total of 17 members of the DVFD responded to the scene and provided emergency medical care, traffic control and also cleaned up the scattered debris. Three of the vehicles involved were drivable but the remaining three were towed from the accident site.

Yes, I take my time when I bake and revel in every dusting of powdered sugar, watching it drift down like snow across a landscape. Or I carefully, slowly drizzle warm, aromatic ganache spooned precisely over the surface of a cake, or sandwich macaron shells together in perfect tandem, like a sweet matchmaker pairing one half with one alike. I plan ahead, or not, as the urge takes me, leaving my computer, my writing, my housework to fend for themselves, alone in this big apartment to while away the morning or afternoon as they see fit. And I concentrate on this activity of creating. And I am content in that I have some here who are happy to find something sweet in the kitchen to eat or to share, proud to carry a tray of this to the office or a tin of that to friends. This gives me as much, if not more pleasure than the bit of time I spend preparing it.
Yet as much as I love baking, sometimes I just don't have the time. Or the courage. Sometimes it is pouring and I don't want to look beyond my pantry for ingredients, unwilling to slip on rubber boots, coat and hat to run out and buy what I don't have. Sometimes I just want it simple and straightforward, easy and with a minimum of fuss, a quick fix to palliate a sudden urge. Once in a while we'll decide to have guests and there is just too much to organize for me to concoct something complicated and fancy. Or every now and then I have a houseful of young men who adore my pastries, cakes and confections and I just enjoy hearing the oohs and the ahhhs, watching eyes light up and happy faces heading to the kitchen.
And then I met Abby. Sweet as the day is long on a rambling summer day, I got to know her rather quickly, shooting tweets back and forth, happily joking and sharing kindness and information on Facebook. I quickly learned that she had something to do with certain scrumptious Nutella Fudge Brownies that seemed to be making a stunning appearance across the blogosphere… and that got me curious. Sometimes I feel so out of the loop living here on the Old Continent, finding out things, gathering information and news about books and people. Yet getting to know Abby – and who Abby is – was quick, easy and delightful. And then she offered to have her latest cookbook sent to me. Who would say no? And this wonderful little book is genius! And a lifesaver! desserts 4 today is that go-to book when you want something sweet and homemade but have neither the time nor the energy to put into something long and complicated. Each and every one of the 125 mouth-watering recipes has only four ingredients! Yep, four. How easy is that? I passed around this gem of a cookbook to my men and asked them to each choose one. Now, normally I get harrumphs and groans and the book shoved back at me. But for some reason… and I am guessing that it may have had something to do with the gorgeous photos in the book, but they each happily selected one treat that they wanted. And I chose the fourth. Ah, four recipes each with only four ingredients! Sadly, I made only three, JP lost out on his choice of Maple-Glazed Figs with Hazelnut Mascarpone, but don't worry, that one is coming soon…
As I have a birthday coming up, my mind tends to think in terms of gifts. This lovely little book is the perfect gift for someone who loves to bake but doesn't always have the time or is usually limited to pantry staples when baking. Or someone who wants to become a baker but may not have the experience yet and needs something simple, easy to follow, easy to understand. Or just anyone that loves baking. Or cookbooks. Or gifts.
I would love to thank Abby and the very kind people at The Taunton Press for allowing me to test, taste and share from Abby's wonderful and now well-thumbed book desserts 4 today.
All three recipes are from desserts 4 today (Flavorful Desserts with just Four Ingredients) by Abigail Johnson Dodge. (another recipe from Abby will be posted on Life's a Feast very soon, a recipe she developed for Bon Appetit Magazine.) At the end of each recipe, Abby gives several variations or Switch Ins as well as a suggestion on how to Gussy It Up.
I share with you these three excellent and easy recipes and promise you that this is one cookbook that won't get forgotten on a bookshelf somewhere. I already have plans to make those figs for JP as well as Maple Cornmeal "Indian" Puddings, Meyer Lemon-Ricotta Panna Cotta, Crushed Raspberry-Mascarpone Whip, Basil Ice Cream… well, you see where this is going?
Instead of making 2 full servings, I chilled this luscious, coffee-lover's treat in four tiny espresso cups. I so loved this – I got my coffee blast in such a sweet way. Did I really eat all four of them myself?
¼ cup firmly packed brown sugar (I used light brown)
1 Tbs cornstarch
1 ¾ tsps fine instant espresso powder
1 ¼ cups half-and-half, divided (I used light cream)
Have ready two 6-oz ramekins ready (or 4 espresso/demi-tasse cups) and space in the refrigerator.
Put the brown sugar, cornstarch and espresso powder in a small saucepan and whisk to blend. Add about ¼ cup of the cream or half-and-half and whisk until the coffee is almost dissolved. Whisk in the remaining half-and-half. Cook, whisking frequently, over medium heat until boiling. Boil, whisking constantly, for 1 minute.
Pour the pudding into the ramekins or cups. Cover with plastic wrap (touching the surface). Serve warm or refrigerate until ready to serve or for up to one day.
(Note: I found that these actually improved after one and even two days in the refrigerator.)
There is absolutely nothing to say…
½ cup Nutella spread
1 large egg
5 Tbs all-purpose flour
¼ cup chopped hazelnuts
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 12-cup mini muffin pan with paper or foil liners.
Put the Nutella and the egg in a medium bowl and whisk until smooth and well blended. Add the flour and whisk until blended. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tins about ¾ full and sprinkle with the chopped hazelnuts.
Bake until a pick comes out with wet, gooey crumbs, 11 to 12 minutes. Set on a rack to cool completely. Serve (eat) immediately or cover and store at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Clem's choice, double thumbs up from JP
1 can (13-14 oz) coconut milk
2/3 cup granulated sugar, divided
3 whole large eggs + 1 egg yolk
¼ tsp ground cardamom
Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Have ready four 6-oz ramekins and place them in a shallow baking pan that will comfortably hold the ramekins. Make room in the refrigerator for the 4 ramekins.
Pour the coconut milk into a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat (don't leave it alone because when it comes to a boil it froths up and over) and cook until reduced to 1 ½ cups (actually this only takes a couple of minutes).
Meanwhile, put 1/3 cup of the sugar with 1 tablespoon water into a small saucepan and cook over low heat until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is boiling. Increase the heat to medium and boil, without stirring, until the sugar is medium-amber, about 2-3 minutes. Gently swirl the pan to even out the color. Pour the hot caramel evenly into the four ramekins and quickly but carefully swirl each ramekin to cover the bottom with caramel. (The caramel will harden almost immediately when it touches the cool ramekins, so pour and swirl one at a time and rather quickly but don't worry at all when the caramel solidifies because it will turn back into liquid caramel when baked with the cream.)
Put the remaining 1/3 cup sugar, the eggs, the yolk and the cardamom in a medium heatproof bowl and whisk to blend. Slowly add the hot coconut milk in a steady stream over the egg mixture while whisking constantly, until all the coconut milk is added and well blended. Pour (or ladle) the cream into the ramekins (it will come up to the top rim). Carefully pour hot water into the baking pan around the ramekins until the water comes halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake until the custards jiggle when nudged (about 40 minutes). Transfer the pan to a rack and carefully lift out the custards (I used a metal spatula) and place them on a rack or cutting board to cool completely. Cover and refrigerate until well chilled, at least 6 hours (unless the husband comes home from work and sees them in the refrigerator and takes one) or for up to 2 days. If they last that long.
To serve, run a small, thin, sharp knife between the custards and the ramekins then quickly invert onto serving plates. Gently shake to loosen.

A 39-year-old Georgetown man is wanted in connection with an armed robbery and kidnapping that occurred Thursday morning.
Georgetown County Sheriffs Office spokeswoman Carrie Cuthbertson says deputies are asking for help from the public in locating Jimmy Cagle of 229 Tailwater Trail.
At approximately 2:30 a.m., Cagle held a knife to the victims throat and
took the victims wallet. While continuing to hold a knife to the victims throat, Cagle
demanded the victim drive him around Georgetown to various locations. Cagle fled the
scene with an undisclosed amount of cash before sheriffs deputies arrived. The victim was not injured during the incident, Cuthbertson wrote in a press release with revealing the gender of the victim.
Cagle is described as 5-foot-10-inches in height and weighing 220 pounds.
He has three active Assault & Battery Third Degree warrants with the sheriffs office on unrelated cases, Cuthbertson states.
Cagle is considered armed and dangerous and should not be approached, Cuthbertson wrote.
Anyone with any information relating to the whereabouts of Jimmy Cagle is urged to call the Sheriffs Office at 546-5101.

The Mother Teresa Prayer Society
"Love, to be true, has to begin with God in prayer.
If we pray, we will be able to love, and
if we love, we will be able to serve."
– Blessed Teresa of Calcutta
The mission of the Mother Teresa Prayer Society is to foster organized, spiritual support for Catholic Charities' staff, volunteers and those we serve, and to pray for those who ask for our prayers.
Why Mother Teresa?
Mother Teresa of Calcutta provides a perfect example for how we must pursue our own mission here at Catholic Charities. She constantly insisted that "everything begins with prayer." Ultimately, it was her prayer that strengthened her to love like God and to serve like Christ as she tirelessly served the poorest of the poor. She is the perfect model for us!
What do members do?
Members are asked to pray for Catholic Charities and those we serve on a daily basis. New members will receive a prayer card to guide them in their daily prayer, along with a Mother Teresa necklace medallion, which will serve as a reminder of their commitment to the society.
General intentions will be emailed to Society members once each month, and specific intentions will be emailed as necessary throughout the year. Catholic Charities will accept members' prayer intentions and offer them at Mass in our chapel. They will remain near the tabernacle for several days after having been presented.
Join us for Mass
Please join us for daily Mass held in the chapel at our main office: 4045 Pecos St., Denver, CO 80211.
Mass Schedule:
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 12:00 p.m.
Friday at 9:00 a.m.
Adoration is 12:30 p.m. — 1 p.m. on Wednesdays.
Confessions are heard 10 a.m. — 10:30 a.m. Fridays or by appointment. Please call Fr. Charles Polifka, OFM Cap., at 303-742-0828.
