If you manage or own a commercial restaurant, or food cafeteria, you rely on the efficient and effective operation of your food service equipment on a daily basis. Because they have to endure long hours of continuous use, commercial equipment requires a different order of professional care than residential appliances. Schools and universities alike need to be able to feed hundreds of hungry kids food that is of high quality and prepared safely, according to certain codes and regulations. Your equipment needs to be prepared for such tasks. But when something goes wrong with your equipment, you need to make sure your refrigerators, freezers, ovens, and other appliances are in good hands. For comprehensive Haymarket, VA food service repair, call the experts at Air Novations today!
Let's take a look at some common pieces of equipment, and some problems that can develop with them.
- Dishwasher: Occasionally, dishwashers can become clogged with debris, especially if plates, glasses, and bowls are not rinsed sufficiently before being placed inside. This can lead to clogs in the drainage, so that your dishwasher may be constantly filled with dirty water.
- Refrigeration: Your commercial refrigeration is a major part of the cafeteria kitchen, both to store raw meats and vegetables for preparation, and to store prepared foods before serving. A substantial amount of labor hours and food is stored there, so if anything happens to interrupt its cooling, such as a malfunctioning compressor or an improperly sealing door, then it could ruin your investment staying cooling inside.
- Freezer: Because you probably rely a lot on the fast serving of prepared frozen foods, your freezer is critical to the operation of your cafeteria. You need to ensure that its thermostat works well to keep food from spoiling, and the door seals keep humid air from entering and freezing up. Freezer burn is also a potential risk that needs to be avoided.
Your cafeteria equipment is critical to the operation of your commercial facility. Make sure you hire someone who knows what they're doing. Call Air Novations today for excellent Haymarket, VA food service repair.

NME is calling it "The Second Coming," and we don't want to deify DJs too much, but that's a pretty accurate description. It's the dance music renaissance, a redux that last year led us back into the midst of heady 90s euro-trash club anthems, and earned DJs respectable names as musicians, on the charts and indeed financially. Of the 90s Superstar DJ, NME says, "DJs traveled to gigs by helicopter, and bought million-pound homes (like Paul Oakenfold's mansion, on the same street as Tony Blair's). Of course, that bubble soon burst – the popularity of dance music waned as we entered the new millennium, going back underground." And according to NME, the charts, and our playlists, the DJ is back with a vengeance; "Fast forward to the present day and dance music is once again on the rise, ushering in a new era of 'pop star DJs'… the money is just as good as it was in the superclub era, if not better."
Naming David Guetta at the top of the revolution is a no-brainer, as his work, including "Turn Me On" with Nicki Minaj, "Who's That Chick?" with Rihanna and "When Love Takes Over" with Kelly Rowland, amongst a myriad of others, made Guetta the God Father of the Ibiza-anthem in 2011, and probably will probably lead him to see out 2012 out in the same fashion. And here's the clanger — Guetta is making bank as a DJ. Reportedly able to demand upward of £100,000 per appearance and maintaining a private jet, Guetta's success as a performer is astounding.
Take away the production of music in collaboration with high profile pop stars, and the appeal of a DJ is difficult to place. Indeed, many of us head out over the weekend to dance to tracks spun by anonymous guys in booths the world over. Which makes Guetta's earning capacity for a gig all the more mind-boggling — as opposed to popstar counter parts who create spectacle with costume, story and dance, a DJ is someone who essentially stands behind some decks and changes tracks. And while we don't dispute there's a great deal of skill and canny involved in mixing music or pleasing a crowd, it's still hard to fathom when the inconspicuous guy with the headphones becomes God-like, and in Guetta's case, amassing a net worth of around £20 million.
NME reports that Guetta isn't the only DJ making sweet, sweet cash performing — apparently Tiesto has been known to charge up to £250,000 for an appearance. Whatever these guys are doing, they're doing it right, and as much as we pontificate over what makes a performance by a DJ so appealing, the numbers speak for themselves, with the above mentioned having the power to sell out venues with capacities in the tens of thousands. However, we're guessing the dance craze won't last much longer — genre seems to be somewhat cyclical and reactionary, and we've already talked about how we see a revolt to club-tunes on its way with the advent of "realwave." While we're sure we haven't seen the end of euro-dance quite yet, we have a feeling the tide will pull out again as it did post-90s, and yes, it will probably inevitably roll back in again.

Teen formally charged as adult in attack of 93-year-old woman
Iquise Taylor, 17, facing multiple charges
ANDERSON, Ind. - A teenager has been formally charged with the rape of a 93-year-old Anderson woman, police announced Monday.
Iquise Taylor, 17, is charged with rape, burglary, criminal confinement and strangulation, and he has been waived to adult court.
Taylor is accused in the July sexual assault of 93-year-old Amelia Rudolf.
RTV6 does not usually identify victims of sexual assault, but Rudolf and her family opted to attend and participate in an Anderson Police news conference Monday afternoon.
"I didn't think I would live long enough to see who did it. I'm happy it turned out the way it is," Rudolf said.
According to the probable cause affidavit, investigators found Taylor's DNA on Rudolf's body.
"The DNA is found within the victim's person. A rape kit was forwarded to the state police lab. That bodily specimen that was recovered from the victim's body matches the DNA of the young man in custody," Madison County Prosecutor Rodney Cummings said.
Police said Taylor lived within in a block of Rudolf's house near Pulaski Park, but they don't know if he targeted her specifically.
Sources told RTV6 that Taylor is familiar with the Madison County criminal justice system, but specific details about previous arrests or charges were not immediately released.
Officials did say that Taylor is a person of interest in another rape case, but investigators are awaiting lab results.
Taylor is being held on $100,000 bond.

No. 09/263,816, filed Mar. 8, 1999, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,741,800.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a field of optical recording and/or playback, and more particularly, to a storage medium storing audio data and catalog information related to the audio data and an apparatus and method for recording and/or playing back catalog information.
2. Description of the Related Art
In an optical recording and/or playback apparatus in which a digital versatile disk (DVD) is used as a storage medium, a catalog function, and an apparatus or method for performing the catalog function has not been proposed.
Here, the contents of the audio include the record contents, the composer, the artist and/or performer, etc. Particularly, the catalog is additional data for illustrating the contents of the audio which is main data recorded on the storage medium, including such additional information as still pictures and captions as video information.
The catalog information which is played back in a playback apparatus having a video decoder, preferably, has an inspecting function for reading the desired contents of the catalog, without interfering with the playback of the audio.
It is also preferable that the catalog information can be easily manufactured using an established editing system for DVD-Video.
In order to satisfy the above-described conditions, two types of information, i.e., audio and catalog data, which perform different functions in a storage medium must be simultaneously played back. Thus, even when the audio data is played back at the maximum transmission speed of the playback apparatus, a predetermined amount of the catalog information must have already been played back and stored in a temporary storage, so that both the audio and the catalog contents can be simultaneously played back.
That is, when the storage medium, in which information for forming the catalog is stored, is inserted into a driver, a player or an editor, the catalog information stored in the storage medium is read and stored in a temporary storage, i.e., a memory, to be output in the form of an image if necessary. Here, in order to store the catalog information read from the storage medium, in the memory, the image size must be defined, and further a method for effectively using the memory must be provided.
It is also preferable that navigation information, which has been proposed in the DVD-Video, i.e., search information added to the catalog information such that a user can search an arbitrary catalog page, and a specification for processing the search information be provided. Further, an editing system manufacturing a catalog corresponding to the specification shares with an editing system according to the DVD-Video specification.
Here, the DVD-Read Only Memory (ROM) is a record medium defined by the physical specification of Part 1 of a DVD specification for a read-only disk produced by Toshiba Corporation and other companies (the DVD forum) in August, 1996 and the file system specification of Part 2 thereof. Also, the DVD-video means video edited by an image information recording method defined by the video specification of Part 3 thereof or a DVD-ROM disk in which the video is recorded.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a storage medium for storing catalog information to satisfy the above-described conditions.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a playback apparatus and method for reading desired catalog contents from catalog information related to audio data, while the audio data stored in a DVD disk is played back.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a recording apparatus and method for writing catalog information related to audio data and catalog contents in a DVD disk.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide an apparatus and method for automatically accessing the location of the catalog using real-time playback information extracted from audio data to be played back without a command to read the catalog in a predetermined location, while audio data stored in a DVD disk is played back.
Additional objects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows and, in part, will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention.
Accordingly, to achieve the above and other objects of the present invention, there is provided a storage medium randomly accessible and storing audio data and catalog information which is related to the audio data and stored in a predetermined region of the storage medium.
According to a first aspect of the invention, a catalog information playback apparatus includes storing means storing audio data and catalog information from the storage medium in which audio data, catalog information formed of information related to the audio data, and catalog playback information connecting the audio data and the catalog information to each other during playback are stored, a video decoder providing an image restored by decoding the catalog information and additional information, an audio decoder providing audio signals restored by decoding the audio data, and a controller controlling playback of catalog information corresponding to a selection of a user and the catalog playback information.
According to a second aspect of the invention, a method for playing back data recorded on the storage medium storing audio data, catalog information related to the audio data, and catalog playback information connecting the audio data and the catalog information to each other during playback includes playing back the catalog information corresponding to the catalog playback information; and playing back the audio data corresponding to the played back catalog information.
According to a third aspect of the invention, a method of recording data on a storage medium, includes encoding audio data, catalog information related to the audio data, and catalog playback information connecting the audio data and the catalog information to each other during playback, and recording the encoded audio data, the encoded catalog information and the encoded catalog playback information on the storage medium.
The above objectives and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent by describing in detail a preferred embodiment thereof with reference to the attached drawings, in which:
Reference will now made in detail to the present preferred embodiment of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to the like elements throughout. The embodiment is described below in order to explain the present invention by referring to the figures.
Referring to
The above data regions may have no information in the image information region 120, and the catalog information related to each item of music may exist in a predetermined area of the audio region 130, and the other file region 140 may or may not exist.
Also, the image information region 120 and the audio region 130 may include a catalog management (CMG) region 121 and an audio management (AMG) region 131 having management information on the recorded images and audio, respectively, and a catalog title set (CTS1) 122 information and audio title sets (ATS) 132 to 134, which are files in which the image and audio data are recorded. The CTS1 122 includes a plurality of program chains (CPGC) 125 to 128. Here, the CPGC indicates a set of related data. The CTS1 file for the catalog may have information on still pictures formed of a plurality of catalogs and sub-pictures, and navigation information for controlling the information on the still pictures and the sub-pictures. As shown in
Here, the structure of the information on the still picture and sub-picture, and the navigation, and the rules thereof are shown in the DVD-video specification.
Also, the catalog information can be effectively used by dividing the catalog information into one common catalog CPGC1 125 for the entire audio region and a plurality of title catalogs CPGC2, CPGC3, . . . , CPGCn+1 126,127, 128 corresponding to each audio title recorded in the audio region 130. That is, a first audio title set (ATS1), i.e., the title catalog related to a first item of music (such as a song) is stored in the CPGC2, and a second title set (ATS2), i.e., the title catalog related to a second item of music is stored in the CPGC3, and thus the nth audio title set (ATSn), i.e., the title catalog related to the nth audio title set (ATSn) is stored in CPGCn+1. The common catalog and each title catalog are formed in a unit of a program chain (CPGC) in the image title.
According to the embodiment of the present invention, the catalog playback information for connecting the CTS and ATS to each other for playback is stored in the AMG region 131 or a predetermined region (information region) of the audio file. The AMG region 131 has a space for recording information on the entire audio region and each title, and a location of the catalog information may be additionally recorded on the AMG region 131.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the catalog playback information which is stored in the AMG region or the audio file region, may be stored in any location. Also, when the disk begins to be read, an appropriate means distinguishes whether or not the catalog playback information exists. The means may define the file names, a region of a disk predetermined by a physical or logical address designated as a space for storing catalog playback information, or information indicating whether existence of a file in which the catalog playback information is stored or not and a location of the file in the data region to be necessarily read such as a volume information region when the disk is read.
The catalog playback information may include the location of the image information in which the catalog is recorded, a file identifier (ID) and an auto presentation information table in which is stored the location of the catalog to be played back corresponding to the predetermined time according to real-time playback information of the audio obtained by real-time playback of the audio.
Also, each corresponding auto presentation information table has playback time information capable of appropriately and automatically playing back the catalog, using the real-time playback information obtained from the audio data while each recorded title is played back, and information on the playback location of the catalog, so that the auto presentation information table has information on the still picture and the sub-picture to be played back within catalogs when a user has not input commands while one title is played back.
The restored digital signal is divided into audio data and video data under the control of a system controller 240 and the audio data of the DVD-Audio specification as an example is written in an audio buffer 251, and video data of the DVD-Video specification as an example, i.e., catalog data is written in a video buffer 252. At this time, the buffer memory 250 can use one memory space or an additional memory.
The catalog data stored in the buffer memory 250 is read in accordance with a control signal generated by the system controller 240 and the read catalog data is restored to an image signal to be output. At this time, the system controller 240 generates an appropriate control signal based on control commands of a user through a remote controller, the auto presentation information table according to catalog playback information, real-time playback information extracted from the audio data, and navigation information of the catalog data, such that the catalog data stored in the video buffer 252 to be played back is output through the video decoder 270 as a video signal.
Meanwhile, the audio data of the DVD-Audio specification read from the audio buffer 251 is provided to the audio decoder 260 and the provided audio data is restored to an audio signal to be output.
Here, the video decoder 270 represents a device restoring image data produced by the DVD-Video specification to an initial image and information added to the image. The apparatus for playing back the DVD-Video has already been produced and such an apparatus is well-known to a person skilled in the art. Also, the audio decoder 260 restores the audio data including the encoded audio data coded by linear pulse coded modulation (linear PCM) or another predetermined manner, management information for managing the audio data and real-time playback information to initial audio and additional information. The system controller 240 and a servo unit 230 control the system to appropriately operate using the control commands from a user and various control signals obtained by playback signals.
Subsequently, a playback operation will be described in view of the video buffer 252 writing and reading catalog data, as shown in
The playback apparatus shown in
When either the common catalog or the title catalog is selected, the sum of the two items of catalog data should be smaller than the memory capacity of the video buffer 252 for playing back the catalog. Referring to
Meanwhile, the amount of buffer memory of the playback apparatus playing back the DVD-Video is approximately 4 MB (megabytes). This functions as a time buffer for resolving an inconsistency between a transmission speed of data read from the disk such as a variable buffer rate and a bit rate of audio played back in real-time or image information.
The conventional buffer must be used to play back audio in real-time, and an additional memory must be used to play back the catalog. Thus, assuming that a memory of 16 MB is the entire buffer memory 250 when one memory is used, the memory size of the video buffer 252 for playing back the catalog is 12 MB. For instance, when the amount of the data of the common catalog is 5 MB, the amount of the title catalog cannot exceed 7 MB.
Also, the title catalog information for each title may not exist. When the sum of the entire catalog data is smaller than the predetermined memory capacity of the video buffer 252, the catalog is not separately classified into the common catalog and the title catalog, and the catalog information on all music can be recorded in the common catalog.
When the optical disk 210 is played back initially, the system controller 240 reads volume information of the optical disk 210, the file system, and information on the CMG and AMG. As described above, the CPGC data in which the catalog information exists is read from the video buffer 252 according to the catalog playback information stored in the AMG region 131 or in a predetermined file. When required catalog data is read, the audio information is read to provide the read audio information to the audio decoder 260 through the audio buffer 251, and the audio information is converted into an audio signal and the converted audio signal is output through the audio decoder 260.
Meanwhile, if a user selects the catalog, i.e., if the user inputs commands for a desired catalog through an input unit such as a remote controller for controlling the playback apparatus, the predetermined catalog data stored in the video buffer 252 corresponding to the input commands are provided to the decoder 270.
If the user does not input commands for playing back the predetermined catalog, i.e., the user does not input the commands for a predetermined time, or the user sets an auto presentation mode, the contents stored in the video buffer 252 are output through the video decoder 270 to output an image of the predetermined catalog using the information in the auto presentation information table.
At this time, the catalog data includes still pictures for the backgrounds and sub-pictures for transferring characters and the still pictures and the sub-pictures are controlled using the navigation information defined by the DVD-Video specification. Thus, compared to the case of using only still pictures, 32 sub-pictures can be selected from the DVD-Video, which supports multiple languages.
Also, if the still picture includes character information, the increase in the resolution of the still picture is required for playing back the character information to distinct pictures, so that the compression ratio cannot be increased, and the background image and the character information are divided, so that the compression ratio for the background is increased, and characters can effectively be coded using a compression method for effectively compressing characters defined by the DVD-Video.
During recording, the A/V codec and/or a host interface 310 compression-codes an externally applied A/V signal which includes the audio data, the catalog information, and the catalog playback information, according to a predetermined compression scheme and supplies size information for the compressed data. The digital signal processor (DSP) 320 receives the compressed A/V data supplied from the AV codec and/or the host interface 310, adds additional data for error correction code (ECC) processing thereto, and performs modulation using a predetermined modulation scheme. A radio frequency amplifier (RF AMP) 330 converts the modulated data from the DSP into a radio frequency (RF) signal. Then, a pickup 340 records the RF signal supplied from the RF AMP 330 on the DVD-ROM 210 mounted on a turn table of the pickup 340 in a manner as shown in
During playback of information data stored on the disk, the pickup 340 picks up the optical signal from the disk having the information data, such as the audio data, the catalog information, and the catalog playback information, stored therein, and the information data is extracted from the optical signal. The RF AMP 330 converts the optical signal into an RF signal, and extracts the servo signal for performing a servo function, and modulated data. The DSP 320 demodulates the modulated data supplied from the RF AMP 330 corresponding to the modulation scheme used during modulation, performs an ECC process to correct errors, and eliminates added data. The servo unit 350 receives information necessary for servo control from the RF AMP 330 and the system controller 360, and stably performs the servo function. The AV codec and/or the host interface 110 decodes the compressed A/V data supplied from the DSP 320 to output an A/V signal. The system controller 360 controls the overall system for reproducing and recording the information data from and on the disk mounted on the turn table of the pickup 340.
The system controller 360 and the DSP 320 handle processing the data during recording and reproduction, including performing linking schemes in connection with recording and reproducing as well as performing linking schemes when processing defective areas on the media during recording and reproducing.
As described above, the catalog function is realized using the DVD-Video specification, to thereby edit the catalog for DVD-Audio using an editing system for the DVD-Video, and the playback apparatus for playing back the catalog of the DVD-Audio also plays back the DVD-Video, to thereby minimize additional circuits.
Also, according to the present invention, the predetermined DVD-Video specification is used, so that the character information of the catalog is not processed as the still picture but as the sub-picture, to thereby enable multiple language display.
Although a preferred embodiment of the present invention have been shown and described, it would be appreciated by those skilled in the art that changes may be made in this embodiment without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined in the claims and their equivalents.

You can have the fanciest four-person tent in the world, but it won't do you much good backpacking if you can't carry it. The NEMO Pentalite 4P Shelter is roomy enough for four people but weighs just over one pound per person. It can be hard to find a weight-to-room ratio that low, even among ultralight backpacking tents, so a shelter like the Pentalite is a great choice if you're focused on keeping your pack light but need room for several people. The Pentagonal shape differs from standard square shelters and gives you a more rectangular sleeping area and a vestibule space to store gear. The Pentalite 4P Wedge (sold separately) can be added if you want your sleeping area to have a solid floor between you and the ground and mesh door to keep out insects.

UFC NEWS – UFC 142's Carlo Prater Thinks Rogan Is Unethical For Questioning Yamasaki
"I think in the end I was made out as a villain. I wasn't laying on the octagon for nothing after the fight. I want that to be clear. I had to stay in the hospital until Monday. They (UFC) asked me not to go public because, indeed, that wouldn't do any good for me or Eric. IMO, Mario did the right thing. It's been a long time since rules have been implemented. You are not allowed to do anything you want inside the cage. Watching the fight video I could see at least 9 blows to the back of the head. I think the way Joe Rogan behaved was completely unethical. He went with the crowd. A real professional doesn't do that. He was acting like a fan when he should be acting as a shout caster. Mario is a million time more competent than him. He's been living off this for 20 years. Joe Rogan is just a swagger, someone who walks amongst fighters but isn't really a fighter himself. He doesn't understand. Whatever… human beings make mistakes and I am not going to be holding grudges against him"
UFC welterweight Carlo Prater is of course talking about the UFC 142 questionable call made by Mario Yamasaki in his fight against Erick Silva.
Many people have weighed in on this topic; we even launched our own poll about the incident here on BJPENN.COM. Prater believes that Joe Rogan was unprofessional and stirred the pot by going into the cage and directly questioning Yamasaki. Silva believes that he won the fight and Yamasaki called it wrong. The UFC reviewed the tapes and did not see evidence supporting Silva's claim and chose to keep the loss on his record.
All in all this has been a confusing process, the UFC backs Prater and Yamasaki but did Rogan do anything wrong by questioning the incident?

rogan is more informed and knowledgeable about the sport than most of the fighters. this prater guy obviously agrees with mario because in the end he now has another 'w' in his column. rogan was right, there was ONE shot to the back of the head. mario fucked up, and prater got demo'd real quick and cant handle it now. this whole story is blown out of proportion all because a ref made an error, and prater is a sore loser.
I think that Mir got more shots to the back of the head than prater did in his fight against big nog and Herb Dean let the fight go after about 3-5 clean shots of the back of the head, if Erik landed within the same range of inadvertent blows to the back of the head then it should be treated the same. I think Joe Rogan, like all of us fight fans, are just looking for consistency in the way fights are called and explanations on why certain decisions are made. Every fan had the same questions that Rogan presented, so was he really as ignorant as 95% of fight fans Prater?
This guy is acting like a little girl about this and he called Rogan a shout caster and a swagger… um, ok. I don't know what that means.
watch belfort vs franklin belfort vs akiyama. so many land clearly on the back of the head and not a word. Silva landed one shot to the back of the head. prater can get his ass kicked again tho. he probly doesnt want a rematch tho
couldn't have said it better myself
Prater is now being a public cry baby. Rogan was correct. Yamasaki made a bad call…plain & simple.
So "being professional" means not having an opinion and supporting a bad call? Idiot. And to say Rogan isn't a fighter? Equally stupid.
I like Joe Rogan but I agree at times he seems to react to things as a fan and his own opinion. Yamasaki made the right call. There's no doubting it
Because he realizes that its about the fans…. if fans dont watch, fighters get cut and organizations go to dumps
UFC 144 Rogan vs prater at a catch weight
haha goat vaginas new attack cry
could you please have your webadmin disable the extremely annoying and poorly performing automated translating feature? Visiting an english site imples I know english, and trust me it's a lot easier to understand the english than the extremely poor translations thx
Having to option to translate is awesome, forcing it sucks
I have the same problem. When I log on I get some jibberish that's supposed to be dutch…
Keep the default language English, cause right now I have to change back to english everytime. It's starting to get annoying.
Joe Rogan was really unethical. I got nothing against him personally. He's a great commentator but what he did was unethical. Whether Yamasaki fucked up or not, he should have not questioned Yamasaki's call in front of the fans man. He acted like a beer-filled fan out there.
Haha he was a beer filled fan out there stoned off his ass. But let's be serious this prater guy is a pussy I will say though I like joe rogan but he was a complete dick that night its okay to question but not humiliate both yamasaki who is one of the best refs and prater even if he did get his ass handed to him. Deff a less dick way about bringing up a controversial call personally I would knocked rogan out if he talked to me like that in front of the fans whether it was the right call or not.
Rogan would roll you up and smoke you
In"doob "idably my brotha prayers a bitch
quit fuckin cryin your lucky he called it a DQ you really lost it was a bullshit call
Rogan was right, UFC made a political call by giving Silva a winners paycheck and kept the loss on Silva's record.
It was one blow to the back. Yamasaki stated he warned him not to hit the back of the head, but that warning doesn't mean shit cause he was hitting the side of the head right behind the ear.
If people think the spot where he landed the blows is illegal, then that means for example JDS landed his KO in an illegal spot right behind the ear too….
Everyone involved with the UFC knows that Rogan is color commentator/interviewer. I don't think he should be villified for asking Yamasaki to explain his decision. Maybe not immediately following the fight, however.
And I agree, Prater saying Rogan knows nothing and isn't a fighter is ridiculous. Guy'll have 2 black belts soon.
Rogan should call out Prater and kick his ass in the cage.
I'd be great if they threw on pads and went at like ala moussi/fedor, since I doubt they would let Joe actually cage fight him I'm thinkin that's the best we could hope for as far as them ever squaring off
For those that don't think Joe Rogan can fight.
During high school, Rogan became a practitioner of kenpo karate at age 14, then went to Taekwondo. He eventually gained a 2nd dan black belt. He went on to become a four-time state champion in Massachusetts, and In 1987, he was the USA Taekwondo U.S. Open lightweight champion.
In 1996, Rogan began training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under Carlson Gracie at his school in Hollywood, California. After Gracie relocated to Chicago, Rogan later began training under Jean Jacques Machado, (a cousin of the Gracie family), eventually earning his brown belt under Machado. In addition, Rogan holds a brown belt in 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu under Eddie Bravo.
Rogan also practices kickboxing.
Here is a video of Joe Rogan teaching GSP "The Turning Side Kick".
Very good move, I use it alot in competition. (Only with proper setup though)
That vid was awesome! GSP taking pointers from a commentator haha.
Rogan has serious skills no doubt about that.
Thanks bro, the first time I saw it, I was like no flippen way. Thats my favorite kick…. wait…wait… thats JOE ROGAN! Then when Rogan hit the bag and GSP Cussed , I was thinking… Ok you know Rogan has power in that kick….
Rogans got some beast mode in him, thats for damn sure.
Oh I know Rogan can throw down, the pads comment was more going towards the UFC not likely to give Joe the chance unless he was somewhat protected,
Hahah from the looks of it Prater is the one that needs protection!
Wow this guy is fuccing sad. Just mad because he got his ass beat in twenty seconds. And Joe rogan probably could kicc this chumps ass
TRUE, he was in the hospital probably due from the knee to the sternum lol,
and as to joe callin out mario….
damn ref is like a schoolgirl in the octagon changin his damn mind
forget about wondering "which" fighter is going to step in the octagon
we have to worry "which mario" will be entering the cage come fight night
lol who the fuck is carlo prater? it was the perfect call for joe to make everyone wanted to ask this question and he did
1 shot or 5 shots doesnt matter if the other fighter cant continue after an illegal strike then the bout goes to dq that simple it doesnt matter if silva won or not remeber Jon jones and matt hamil one 12-6 elbow and it was a dq and hamil had a shoulder injury the elbow didnt stop him so really stop caring bout the call and calling mario a bad ref he made a decsion based on what he saw and i know no of u were in his shoes so you guys have no idea what he saw and thats that
but it wasn't the blow to the back of the head…. it was the knee….
he got dropped and never stood up after the knee…
regardless of the knee that yeah probaly endnd the fight the illegal blow can into affect and it was a ref making a descion on what he saw

I find this current wave of using the back of the head as a tool for DQ or separation quite damagine to the sport.
This process typically involves:
staggoleg, turtle up, face plant and sway the back of the head (the only exposed part) towards the punch.
In my opinion Praeter crumpled with the knee and got hit with a few solid shots. The fight should have been called earlier or if Yamasaki was so adamant that a strike did land, he should have separated them, deducted a point and given a warning.
As for Rogan, I'm happy to say I'm proud of the fact that he is a fan and is not shy about making himself heard. He is quite knowledgeable about the sport and this situation addresses an issue that will come up again surely.
Pratter you are an idiot. Just because he's a commentator and not an actual fighter, don't underestimate him. Rogan would whoop your a.s.s in the octagon. He didn't get his knowledge of fighting from sitting on the couch watching learn how DVD's. It's about time someone starts putting these ref's on the hook for an explanation of their BAD decisions.
Call me crazy, but I think Joe is more than just a "swagger". You already got the W, prater, stop the campaigning.
I for one can not wait for Joes responses
Really Prater? So the cameras showing you sitting up and crying about illegal blows are totally lying? Because until that point, there was not one inclination that Silva was getting DQ'd.
Take these comments knowing I am not a Silva fanboy, and admit that maybe right in the ring might not have been the most professional time for Rogan to do what he did. But……..
Just face facts Prater. You got demolished by an up and comer. So to make sure your ass didn't get cut, you whined about where you were struck. That's it. That's all.
Rogan knows nothing about fighting? Bitch please. He is soon to have the very same black belt you wear in BJJ. Just because he chooses not to earn his living in the ring doesn't make him any less uninformed.
If Prater really doesn't want to made the ass in this. He should request the rematch with Silva. I'm pretty sure the outcome is going to how it SHOULD have went, with Siva's arm raised in victory. Dude just don't got nothing. 6-4 in your last 10 before Silva. And your 1-3 prior to Silva in major promotions (WEC, Strikeforce).
Nevermind, I'd cry for a W too.
Prater just went from "poor guy" to "shut the fuck up if you don't know how many the number 9 is"
Swagger Jagger! Rofl.
Really Prater? Rogan is color commentator, who has probably been doing it longer than you've been a fighter. Not to mention, he does and has been training in martial arts for just as long or longer. Think before you speak son.
Even I initially wondered why Silva lost. And how Yamasaki saw what he did. Rogan doesn't pull punches. He calls it like he sees it, doesn't mean he's biased. He asks the questions everyone is THINKING. I don't think it was unethical. He didn't out right accuse Yamasaki of making a bad call. He asked him why he made that call. And after reviewing the different angles myself, frame by frame, Yamasaki answer was viable. I still don't think it should have been a loss. More like a NC. But there could have been other things in between that none of us saw or heard. Like if Yamasaki was warning Silva after the initial strike to the back of the head, and a subsequent warning after the second. I'm sure if Prater was able to defend himself and continue, Yamasaki would have paused the bout and taken a point off of Silva. But Prater was done and couldn't continue. So no point in point deduction. It's either a loss or a no contest. When it all comes down to it, Yamasaki was in the best position to make that call at THAT time. That one is a tough call. But I don't hold it against Mario.
I often wonder when guys turtle up that they purposely leave the back of their heads unprotected. That's like getting your ass handed to you, and taking/hoping for a win because your opponent gets DQ'd. That's a total p@$$y move.
Good explanation and breakdown from Big John. http://bit.ly/xv6YGf
Prater got his fake win, why is he now trying to stir shit up with Rogan and the rest of the world. Sounds like Prater doesn't want fans
9 shots to the back of the head MY BALLS. no way more than 2 or 3
You ladies talk a lot of shit about Prater behind your keyboards. I'm sure Prater didnt want to win like that, he was just giving his opinion like everyone else has got to about the subject.
Hello pot have you met kettle?
Was kidding Rusk, we are all keyboard junkies.
I blame Prater for putting his head where Eric's hands were going…. LoL. Through the years that I have been watchingparticipating in MMA, hits to the back of the head are not allowed. Now since there is no true definition of what the back of the head is, I am going to assume its a spot the size of an pencil eraser directly in the back of your head. Since there are no explicit definitions of what constitutes the back of the head. I say Eric didnt hit him a single time in the back of the head.
Course my opinion is based purely on logic, common sense, and facts… So im probably wrong.
joe rogna was out of line but prater had no shot of winning this fight. he should be happy about this fight like okami was about beating anderson and how matt hammil is proud of beating jon jones.
Carlo Prater said it exactly how it is. Joe Rogan talks out of his ass when he gets all dramatic. Seriously Joe Rogan looked like a lil bitch telling Yamasaki he was wrong, right in front of the world watching, who the fuck does this guy think he is! There's times when JR is commentating and its good information, you can tell he practices and studies some forms of martial arts. But he get excited like a fan does and starts saying shit like a certain fighter in a blue belt in bjj and its not true (JR at least recognized he made that). In other words JR does things that not everybody agrees with, so on that night when he put Yamasaki on blast, Yamasaki was his Joe Rogan. Yes people don't like Joe Rogan (Bresee kids in particular)but we still put up with him and don't always turn the volume all the way down because his voice is as annoying as nails on a chalk board.
Fuck Joe Rogan
We Love Yamasaki
Hate Rogan all you like but when's the last time hos opinion changed the outcome of a fight?
Ppl sure do say some dumb ass shit on here.. Like "it was the knee that knocked him down" der. Or "Joe knows more then most fighters, about fighting" Right cause your friends with him and he sounds good on tv. The post was on the fighter who was affected by the shots opinion on Joes actions after the fight not all this other Bs. Just for measure ill throw my 2 cents in the mix. The fight ending like alot of others had in the past that didnt get DQ'ed, this much is true. I do on the other hand think some of those fighters should have been DQ'ed. The fighter was verbally warned and continued to strike and hit the back of the head. How many times dosnt really matter. The fighter wasnt able to continue so taking a point away was out of the question. Mario did the only right thing he could do. He cant say oh well I guess you win anyways even though you didnt listen to me. And After the fight I got to admit what Joe was saying seemed really strange. He said he was picking his shots and "none" hit the back on the head. Then stopping Mario to make him answer on camera I think was pretty disrespectful to the ref. He seemed to be kinda a fan of this up and coming fighter and spoke about what he felt rather then what was being seen.
The warnings were bullshit, cause it wasn't the back of the head. So that argument is unvalid. In slow mo it was just one glance on the back. The rest was legal on the side.
In my opinion, the best thing that UFC could have done in that case is rule it as a no contest. It could have been fair to the parties involved. Yamasaki certainly made a mistake prompted by the fact that he has to decide right there and then. As to Silva he really did hit Prater in the back of the head despite several warning, but in my opinion that would not be enough to warrant disqualification. As to Mr. Rogan's act after the fight at the very least would be the opinion of most of the fight fan watching the fight but a little bit beyond the limit as the person calling the fight. Hence, to be fair to all it should have been a no contest to protect Yamasaki, Silva, Prater Joe Rogan and the UFC, because disqualification is too much for Silva and favors Prater. But the damage has been done, all we can do is to learn from it!
Carlo Prater beat Charlie Brown in 2010
WHO IS CARLO PRATER??? How is Rogan not a fighter? A black belt in tae kwon do, brown belt in jit jitsu from an advanced jit jitsu school in 10th Planet, high school wrestler….? There's clips online of Rogan HIMSELF helping GSP master a spinning back kick and we all know how advanced GSP is. For GSP to be taking advice from Rogan really speaks highly of rogan's knowledge. This guy is a fucking clown and could never be a fan of him.
Joe Rogan was on DMT probably lol

NVIDIA 3D Vision Helps Send Cosmonauts to Mars
We have exciting news from Russia that NVIDIA 3D Vision is being used by the Russian federal space program to give cosmonauts a virtual reality experience of what it would be like to go on a mission to Mars.
The Mars-500 project involves more than 100 experiments to investigate the possibility of manned space flights to the Red Planet. But before actually sending cosmonauts into space, the program is conducting simulations that replicate the three parts of a mission: the journey to Mars, landing and exploration, and the flight back to Earth.
For the latest experiment, which began June 3, six cosmonauts were sealed in a hermetic environment that simulates the isolation, confinement and communication delays of interplanetary flight. They'll remain there for 520 days while observers study the physiological and psychological effects of the mission. For the experiment to be useful, the experience needs to be as convincing and immersive as possible ' and that's where NVIDIA 3D Vision comes in.
NVIDIA has supplied the crew with 3D Vision laptop systems that they'll use primarily when they reach Mars and land on the planet. During their 'flight' the crew will be able to use 3D Vision for entertainment (reportedly, one cosmonaut is an avowed gamer and was very happy to see these laptops). But it's during the 30-day operations phase that 3D Vision is most critical ' that's when the crew will experience a simulated landing on Mars and get to explore the planet's surface.
NVIDIA's technology was chosen as the best solution for providing the most realistic, immersive 3D experience. Russian company JCSI, which is creating the interactive 3D model of Mars for the cosmonauts to explore, will simulate different environments ' including dust storms, meteorites and craters ' so the crew can experience a full range of highly realistic conditions as they navigate the planet's terrain.
Then it's another long journey back home. At least the in-flight movie will be in 3D.

Here's a headline from the ABA Journal this morning:
African-American Law Firm Elects Unusual CEO
Unusual, you say? Well, when you click on that link, aren't you expecting something really outside the box? Maybe they picked a CEO with no private sector experience? Maybe they picked a CEO who used to be in the CIA? Maybe they picked Triumph the Insult Comic Dog? You know, something "unusual."
But no, here's the interesting twist to this story:
Detroit-based firm Lewis & Munday, which was founded in 1972 by David Baker Lewis and two African-American partners, named partner Blair Person as its new president and CEO this month… some might find it curious to learn that Person is white.
That's it? A law firm elected a white guy to be CEO. That's news? That's unusual?
Wait, let me back up a second. Aside from the fact that black people founded the place, what the hell makes this an "African-American" law firm? I don't think you'd see a headline in 2010 calling Wachtell a "Jewish" law firm. And what in God's name is unusual about black owners selecting a white person to run their business? In short, what the hell is going here?
Underlying the ABA Journal post is a story from the Detroit Free Press. While deciding to call Lewis & Munday a "law firm" (instead of an "African-American law firm"), the Free Press seems similarly surprised by the new promotion:
This month, in another unusual step — somehow fitting for a firm proud of pioneering diversity in the legal profession — Lewis and his partners elected Blair Person as the new president and CEO of the Lewis & Munday law firm.
Person is white.
In an interview at the main office on the 24th floor of Detroit's First National building, Person, Lewis and longtime partner Reuben Munday said Person's race never came up in discussions about who would replace Lewis as CEO of the firm, which is still majority-owned by African-American lawyers.
Did I wake up in bizzaro world? Why is this news? Does white America really sit around and think that if/when black people are in power, they will reflexively favor their own race to the exclusion of others? Do white people think Obama's real advisors are Cory Booker and Oprah, with Rahm Emanuel and Hillary Clinton just there for show?
If Davis Polk chose a black guy to be its new leader, would the story be "WASP-y Law Firm Elects Random Negro"?
No, that wouldn't be the story. The story would be: "[Random Negro] Becomes First African-American CEO of Davis Polk." And you'd understand that story: black managing partners are rare in the Am Law 100. (Are there any? If I'm forgetting someone, please email us.) Historically African-Americans have been excluded from leadership positions at top firms, yada yada, "racial progress," and bam, you'd have a story.
But if you flip it back around to the instant case, you see none of these traditional story points. Are white managing partners rare? No. Have whites historically been excluded from firm leadership positions? No. Have whites historically been excluded from the particular firm of Lewis & Munday? Uh … that would be a "no" as well:
Person, 54, joined the firm in 1985 and heads its real estate practice. He said he was the fourth or fifth white attorney on what was then a firm of 13 lawyers.
Does somebody want to tell me which "white" law firm had non-whites make up 30% of their attorneys — in 1985? It doesn't look like Lewis & Munday has any sort of history with racial exclusion.
So, again, what's the story here?
One can only assume that there is a belief that black-owned enterprises are exclusionary towards whites. Therefore it's a story because it's "unusual" for a black-owned business to not be exclusionary towards whites in leadership positions.
The problem with that belief is that it's generally unsupported by facts. From the Freedom Riders, to the NAACP, to Howard University, to — I don't know — BET, we've seen opportunities for whites who want to work at these organizations. Off the top of my head, the only well-known, black-owned operations that have been overtly antithetical to whites are the Black Panthers and the Nation of Islam. But the Black Panthers never represented the mainstream of the black community, and the Nation of Islam [redacted Nation of Islam joke because they scare the living hell out of me].
I'm sure that, conceptually, the good people at the Detroit Free Press thought that this was a feel-good story of racial progress in our time. But that concept only makes sense if you start from an assumption that a black-owned law firm would naturally favor African-American leadership. The brief history of black-owned operations in this country doesn't support such an assumption.
Instead, it would seem unusual for a black-owned business to adopt anything other than an integrated approach to making money.
UPDATE: A few of you have emailed in naming some of the African-American managing partners at top firms (check out the comments). Karl Racine at Venable stands out as a guy I should have remembered off the top of my head. I knew there were a few. It kind of underscores my point here: it's not all that unusual for a law firm leader to be a member of a different race than the majority of firm they represent. At least not in 2010.

Abstract: D21.00001 : Physical principles of genomic regulation through cellular nanoscale structure and implications for initiation of carcinogenesis
Preview Abstract MathJax On | Off Abstract
Vadim Backman
(Northwestern University)
Although compelling evidence suggests that cellular nanoarchitecture and nanoscale environment where molecular interactions take place would be expected to significantly affect macromolecular processes, biological ramifications of cellular nanoscale organization have been largely unexplored. This understanding has been hampered in part by the diffraction limited resolution of optical microscopy. The talk will discuss a novel optical microscopy technique, partial wave spectroscopic (PWS) microscopy, that is capable of quantifying statistical properties of cell structure at the nanoscale. Animal and human studies demonstrated that an alteration in the statistical properties of the nanoscale mass density distribution in the cell nucleus (e.g. nuclear nanoarchitecture) is one of the earliest and ubiquitous events in carcinogenesis and precedes any other known morphological changes at larger length scales (e.g. microarchitecture). The talk will also discuss the physical principles of how the alteration in nuclear nanoarchitecture may modulate genomic processes and, in particular, gene transcription.\\[4pt] Work done in collaboration with Hariharan Subramanian, Prabhakar Pradhan, Dhwanil Damania, Lusik Cherkezyan, Yolanda Stypula, Jun Soo Kim, Igal Szleifer, Northwestern University, Evanston, IL, Hemant K.

Partido Accion Nacional (PAN)
The PAN was formed in 1939 by a coalition of liberal and Catholic opponents of the strongly secularist PRI government. The party's religious dimension is ambiguous. It eschews a confessional label and the use of explicit Christian or Catholic symbols in political campaigns. However, it has consistently advocated policies associated with religion, for example calling for constitutional reforms to accommodate a greater public role for churches. Originally a marginal player in Mexican politics, it grew to become the core of conservative opposition to the regime. It first elected representatives to the national legislature in the 1940s, and by the 1980s and 90s it captured important governorships around the country. In 2000, Vicente Fox won the presidency, the first opposition candidate to do so in post-revolutionary Mexico. The party has since consolidated its dominant position at the right of the Mexican spectrum in terms of both economic and social issues. It strongly opposes abortion and civil unions, and considers the defense of the family to be a central element of its platform.

It only goes so far as necessary to swap out the front section of the phone to fix a broken screen.
I'm opting to fix this myself altho the phone is covered by insurance because the insurance deductible is $100 and the spare part on eBay is only $50.
If I wanted to be even cheaper, I could just cover the screen in a piece of clear packaging tape and continue using it indefinitely. The functionality of the phone is still intact.
Step 1: The problem
It's still operational, but sharper than it was.
The positive take -- it's a good excuse to do surgery on my new(ish) phone!
Step 2: Tools
They both include very tiny screwdriver heads for very fine work. I've never run into anything that was too small to use these on.
When you first buy them, try rubbing a neo magnet on the tips to make the screws stay on against gravity. It doesn't take much magnetism to make your work a lot easier.
Step 3: Remove back cover
Just slide the back cover up with your palm and then lift it straight off.
Step 5: Remove four torx screws
HINT: If you're very disorganized or you're planning on leaving the thing apart for several days, immediately put the screws back in the holes they came from after you separate the parts. It's a little bit of extra work, but it'll keep the tiny screws from getting mixed up or lost on the floor. This is a good rule of thumb whenever you're taking stuff apart.
Fortunately I didn't have to purchase a new screen, I was able to use the screen from another HTC hero 2 phone that I replaced a few months ago using the warranty. This fix it cost me $0.00 out of pocket at this time, who could beat that?!?!? Just a suggestion to others out there......When possible keep your old phone, you never know when/if it will come in handy as spare parts!
Thanks again!!!!!!

Dental Veneers
This patient has 4 ceramic veneers that perfectly match her existing teeth giving her a very beautiful smile. What you see in the picture are her veneers and her natural teeth blending together for a perfect smile. Many times a perfect smile can be achieved with only restoring a few teeth!
Dental veneers (sometimes called porcelain veneers or dental porcelain laminates) are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored material designed to cover the front surface of teeth. These shells are bonded to the front of the teeth changing their color, shape, size or length and resulting in a greatly improved appearance.
Dental veneers can be made from porcelain or from resin composite materials. Porcelain veneers resist stains better than resin veneers and better mimic the light reflecting properties of natural teeth. Resin veneers are sometimes thinner and may require removal of less of the tooth surface before placement, but every case is different. We will be happy to discuss the best choice of veneer material for you.
To find out more about how porcelain veneers can drastically improve your smile, call (281) 376-1214 to schedule your consultation appointment today!
