do your thing nate skys the limit.
Nate would get out pointed by Edgar. Edgar would do what he did with Penn. But Henderson I think would be a better fight.
Edgar is fast and smart. He knows what he can and cannot accomplish. His cardio is great and he can force people to get frustrated. Thats how he gets his points. If a ko or tko or sub comes along the way then good for him, but he will only try for points.
Hendo would be in Nates face more, thus giving Nate a better fight and more exciting I think.
We'll find out soon enough.
either fight would be interesting, but I don't see Frankie beating Nate.
I could also see nate winning. Look at the Edgar/Maynard fight, Maynard was a lot slower compared to Frankie, but still ended up catching him with some very hard shots. If Nate can land a good shot like that on Frankie, it will be done. Nate would just swarm him and punch him into submission. Frankie would have to fight like Condit to beat a Diaz.
I believe its Tyson Griffin.. not Griffith..
Who proof reads for this website?
Isn't it tear not terror :s
Edgar would run away from nate and try and get his usual flash takedowns. Nate is in a whole different league than Edgar. Hendersen and nate are two best Lw in world. Edgar is just praying Aldo will move up you he can move down. I lost all respect for Edgar when he turned down an instant title shot (after losing) to Bendo. Who else gets a title shot coming off a loss but Frankie Edgar. Well maybe Fabertism also but that was in WEC
running away is the most effective type of martial art
If i was a judge i would subtract a point everytime someone like Edgar tucks tail and runs. In boxing you lose if you run away
Boxing sucks dude, get a clue
Muy tai is what's up
Randy got a HW title shot after being knocked out and retiring from the sport infact he was just 1-2 in his last 3 fights 2 loses by knock out
Cesar is a fuckwit….
nate has been on beastmode his last couple fights.. i just hope he dont start acting like nick……..
What we have with this family is what is happening in the NFL right now. You have an little brother who is living in the shadow of the older brother (Eli Manning and Peyton Manning).
However, what a lot of people are not seeing is the little brother IE. Nate, Eli, are better then the older brother. I think the only chance Cesar Gracies' camp has at bringing home a UFC title is Nate.
Not really a fan of the family( Also consider Cesar Grace a publicity seeker) however, can't really deny that Nate has been ripping it up.
Fight me
I like turtles

Read past issues of the magazine Le Moyne Partners with NYSSCPASYRACUSE, N.Y. (For Immediate Release) … Le Moyne College will partner with the Foundation for Accounting Education of the New York State Society of Certified Public Accountants (NYSSCPA) to offer the Career Opportunities in the Accounting Profession (COAP) program to 41 area minority high school juniors from June 29 through July 2. COAP educates minority high school students on the many facets of the accounting profession and builds skills to help them succeed in college and the business world. The students will take sessions on fraud and technology in accounting along with basic skill sessions on resumes, etiquette, college preparation and time management led by local business professionals. They'll take field trips to Testone, Marshall & Discenza, LLP, and Stickley Furniture to observe CPAs on the job. Just for fun, they'll also take in a Syracuse Chiefs baseball game. The program offers a residential experience this year for the first time, giving students a taste of college life. In past years, it has been a commuter program. Historically, minorities have been underrepresented in the accounting profession, and the COAP program aims to increase diversity. A survey of COAP alumni has revealed that almost 100% of respondents have gone on to college and that 70% are majoring or enrolled in accounting or business programs. "This program provides a lot of opportunities," said COAP chair Lisa Contanch, CPA, of Green & Seifter CPAs PLLC, Syracuse. "Besides the accounting part, there are opportunities for the kids to learn interviewing and public speaking skills." COAP programs will be held at 10 different colleges and universities across the state this year. Over 1,900 students have taken part in COAP programs at 10 different universities since it began in New York State in 1987. For more information on the Syracuse COAP program, contact Cara Patterson at 212-719-8362, or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com on: 6/25/2008

Thinking About Bobby
Tom Degan: A second Kennedy administration (which would have ended on January 20, 1977) would definitely have prevented eight years of Nixon and Watergate and might very well have prevented the dawning of the insane right wing era that began exactly four years later with the inauguration of Ronald Reagan – and has continued for thirty years – an era which has ruined a country that used to be a nice place in which to live.

Ariel Helwani: Dan, some people have suggest that Rashad Evans has lost a step, do you agree?
Dan Henderson: No, I'm expecting to fight the best Rashad Evans that there ever was, and that's what I hope for. I hope that he's at his best and that's just going to make for a more exciting fight.
Ariel Helwani: His last performance obviously wasn't a good one, what do you take away from that?
Dan Henderson: Not a whole lot. I mean everybody has a bad fight or is flat, has a bad performance. I've been there too and I can't be judged on that last one and I'm not going to judge him on how that last one was.
Ariel Helwani: Much like you lately he has become more of a striker, but recently has been working with Kenny Monday. They've hired him over at the Blackzillians. Does that he mean he's going to try to wrestle you more tomorrow?
Dan Henderson: No I think he's still not going to forget about his stand up, but I was already expecting for him to try to take me down at some point in the fight
Ariel Helwani: Do you hear the chatter, some people saying maybe it's time for Dan to walk away? Do you hear that and does that bother you?
Dan Henderson: I hear it, but it doesn't bother me at all. It's entertaining for me. It creates a bigger challenge I guess
Ariel Helwani: How do you see this fight playing out?
Dan Henderson: I think it's going to be a war and I plan on stopping him.

Joel Roza's Week 5 NFL Picks
Texans take show to Monday Night; Manning and Brady reprise rivalry
CORPUS CHRISTI - Some thoughts before the picks:
1. The Texans are 4-0.
2. If anyone needs a bye week, it's Tony Romo.
3. If any team needs a bye week, it's the Detroit Lions.
4. I went 14-1 last week, folks. 14-1. My wife was 9-6. My dominance must continue.
5. Speaking of dominance, how about that Buffalo defense? $100 million well spent!
6. Kyle Orton is NOT the answer in Dallas, and please stop suggesting that it is. You know who you are.
7. How have I NOT discussed, in any way, the apocalyptic pairing of Romeo Crennel and Matt Cassel?
8. Gregg Williams, Sean Payton, Joe Vitt and Mickey Loomis can all watch games as fans in NFL stadiums. Absolutely NOTHING fishy could occur here.
9. My best wishes to Chuck Pagano and the Indianapolis Colts as their head coach prepares for the fight of his life.
10. It's amazing how sane the Packers and their fans have remained despite the litany of calls going against them the past two weeks. They are the model of patience.
11. The Mayans must be replacing their old calendar with a Texans team calendar, because at this pace, all looks well.
As usual, all times are Central.
Miami Dolphins (1-3) at Cincinnati Bengals (3-1)
Sunday, at Noon
Line: Bengals by 4
- My issue with the Bengals is they were gift-wrapped a Week 1 opportunity to win over a lot of believers by striking division-rival Baltimore in the heart in Baltimore. Instead, we tend to remember the Bengals by how they were humiliated by Joe Flacco and the Ravens, bringing upon us an entire week of more "Is Flacco elite!??!?!" rhetoric.
Since then though, Cincy has put up huge numbers offensively, offsetting their inconsistent, yet talented defense enroute to three wins on the backs of, mainly, Andy Dalton and A.J. Green. The Dolphins are no world beaters, either, but the Bengals are flying under the radar exactly like last season. Miami is improving with Ryan Tannehill turning WR Brian Hartline into a popular fantasy waiver-wire pick-up this past week, and with Reggie Bush back at full strength this weekend, it could be an interesting, closer-than-we-anticipated-when-Houston-annhialated-Miami-four-weeks-ago kind of match-up.
Still, Cincinnati has play-makers, continuity, and I believe, the ability to continue to win despite low expectations nationally.
Winner: Bengals
Green Bay Packers (2-2) at Indianapolis Colts (1-2)
Sunday, at Noon
Line: Packers by 7.5
- The tragic news of Colts head coach Chuck Pagano's leukemia diagnosis has hit the Colts tremendously hard, and I have no doubt that the Colts will try everything to upset the Packers. But the mismatch, both on offense and defense, between these two teams is just too wide. The Colts are developing a nice offensive rhythm under Andrew Luck, but they're a mess on defense. A pitiful, rebuilding mess. Just awful.
I think the Colts will shock some folks early, maybe grab one of those early 10-0 or 14-0 leads, but the Packers and their pedigree will eventually win out.
Winner: Packers
Baltimore Ravens (3-1) at Kansas City Chiefs (1-3)
Sunday, at Noon
Line: Ravens by 7.5
- We meet again Kansas City. Last week, the Chief's failure to procure a victory from the Chargers became the only blemish on an otherwise perfect week in predictions. 14-1. So far as I know, only Chris Mortensen of ESPN and I can brag about that massive achievement. But, I'm not one to hold grudges. I should've known better. Picking Matt Cassel to win anything other than a Pick-6 contest is a massive error in judgment at this point in the season, so picking this week's match-up is a no-brainer.
You won't get me this time, AFC West.
With 7 interceptions and a 70.3 QBR, it's hard to see Romeo Crennel sticking with Cassel for much longer; then again, the alternative is Brady Quinn.
Winner: Ravens
Tennessee Titans (1-3) at Minnesota Vikings (3-1)
Sunday, at Noon
Line: Vikings by 5.5
- Jake Locker's twice-separated left shoulder (non-throwing) is cause for a lot of concern in Nashville, where the Titans must once again put their already-fading hopes into veteran Matt Hasselbeck, who was less-than inspiring in Tennessee's loss at Houston. Some feel Locker's season is in danger of ending due to the unstable nature of his shoulder; others feel he just needs a couple weeks of rest. I have no idea what will come of it, but this just doesn't feel like a playoff team, a playoff contender, or even a tricky pretender. They look as dead as Mike Munchak.
On a sidenote, did anyone see Chris Johnson's postgame interview after Tennessee's loss at Houston? Dude was SO Giddy about finally "breaking out" of his slump that he totally seemed to forget that his team just got their season ransacked. Praise for the previously-criticized offensive line was aplenty, and nothing but remarks like "it feels good", and "hopefully we can build on this…"
Dude is disconnected.
All that bad aside, something screams "the Vikings can NOT start 4-1!" In truth, I can see Hasselbeck going off, having a vintage "good Hasselbeck" game, followed by three, season-altering "bad Hasselbeck" games. I don't know, I'm riding the odds here.
Very analytical of me, I know.
Winner: Titans
Cleveland Browns (0-4) at New York Giants (2-2)
Sunday, at Noon
Line: Giants by 13
- Their typical 'shockingly-good-game-against-a-division-rival' game from last Thursday aside, the Browns are an abomination. Ranked 32nd in most power polls this week, it's hard to see the Brandon Weeden-led Browns winning more than a couple games this season . That's due in large part to the fact that Cleveland boasts the NFL's youngest and most inexperienced roster, one that is putting out a lot of effort, but just doesn't have the tools to put it together yet.
They're not 0-16 bad, but they're definitely 2-14 bad.
As for the G-Men, it's tough to hold much against them after their 19-17 loss to division-rival Philadelphia last week. Their struggles against the agile and athletic Eagles are well-documented, but it shouldn't derail a team that's used to winning Lombardi trophies, then going underground to re-tool for another run.
Winner: Giants
Philadelphia Eagles (3-1) at Pittsburgh Steelers (1-2)
Sunday, at Noon
Line: Steelers by 2.5
- The Eagles' three wins this season have come by a combined FOUR POINTS! That's some miraculous bending without breaking. The Steelers, coming off a bye week that saw them enter it with a last-second loss in Oakland, aren't much hotter, either, but I love what they'll be able to bring into Vick's wheelhouse. Their defense is aging and predictable, but you can't deny that the return of Troy Polamalu will positively affect a defense that is struggling to cause turnovers.
I know the line is low for a reason, but I could see Pittsburgh railroading Vick out of town. Just not a good match-up with veteran safeties reading Vick's equally as predictable reads.
Winner: Steelers
Atlanta Falcons (4-0) at Washington Redskins (2-2)
Sunday, at Noon
Line: Falcons by 3
- Shoot-out warning! I'd love to see RGIII pull out what would be, to date, the most significant win of his young career, but pieces are missing in this equation. For starters, Washington's defense, as stated in previous weeks, is in shambles, and Atlanta CAN shut down opposing offenses. Ranked 15th overall on both offense and defense, the Falcons SEEM vulnerable and middle-of-the-pack, but they're far too explosive and potent to fall to a young Washington team still learning to walk. The Falcons are in full-on sprint mode.
Winner: Falcons
Seattle Seahawks (2-2) at Carolina Panthers (1-3)
Sunday, at 3:05 p.m.
Line: Panthers by 3
- Did you know the Seahawks are second in the NFL in team defense? Who knew?
Well, maybe those 9 sacks of Aaron Rodgers played a role in that, which is why I see another shootout in this one between Cam Newton and Russell Wilson. I love both guys, but Cam is coming off a disheartening loss that should never have been. He played exceptionally well in Atlanta, more than good enough to win, but his one blunder, a fumble that Carolina recovered on what would have been a game-ending first down, came back to bite him in the worst way.
His odyssey through the drudges of an apparent sophomore slump are going to continue to plague him if he doesn't bounce back and deliver a win at home over a Seahawks team that is seemingly lifeless and robotic when away from the chaos of Seattle and their much-valued 12th man.
Winner: Panthers
Chicago Bears (3-1) at Jacksonville Jaguars (1-3)
Sunday, at 3:05 p.m.
Line: Bears by 3
- Good Cutler prevailed over Bad Romo last week, giving credence to the notion that the Bears are back in business after some off-field distractions and a less-than-inspired win two weeks ago against St. Louis.
This is another "easy" one for the Bears as they look to get Matt Forte up to full speed against a Jags team that is all MJD. Expect suffocation of the Jags run game and another opportunistic performance by the Bears defense as they feast upon Blaine Gabbert's lack of the following:
1. Pocket awareness
2. Pocket presence
3. Down-field vision
4. Accuracy
5. Talent
Winner: Bears
Denver Broncos (2-2) at New England Patriots (2-2)
Sunday, at 3:25 p.m.
Line: Patriots by 7.5
- Tom Brady and Peyton Manning will face each other for the 13th time in their careers, but this one will have a lot of new facets to it.
Peyton Manning's 30-38, 3 TD performance in predictably destroying Oakland last week was a great launching pad into this game, but something is still off about Peyton. His zip, his spiral, his reaction time, it's all just off. I totally understand why it is, I don't think he's physically incapable of playing at a high level, nor do I see him on his last legs. But he's not ready for Tom Brady, Gronk, Foxboro, The Hoodie, or any sentence containing the words "epic showdown." His 96.9 QBR, 8 TDs and 3 INTs (all against Atlanta) are impressive numbers, but the sight of Manning, and his lack of weapons, make this just look insurmountable… for now.
Winner: Patriots
Buffalo Bills (2-2) at San Francisco 49ers (3-1)
Sunday, at 3:25 p.m.
Line: 49ers by 9
- Mario Williams has 1.5 sacks through the first four games of the season, making that sack and a half the most expensive in the history of man, mammals, fish, the things fish used to be before they were fish, and other ancient stuff, like druids.
Mario's source of struggle is, according to Mario himself…. His wrist.
I've never been happier to lose a keystone player. I'm tempted to use a horrible pun and say something like, "WATT was his name again?" But I'll resist. First and foremost because I'm too classy and I'm nowhere near that corny.
I can't believe I picked Buffalo to sneak in as a wild card team. I seem to remember being around a lot of markers without their caps when I did it.
Kudos to San Francisco as well for steamrolling the Jets into a pile of rubble, and helping us all realize that Lisfranc foot injuries are a real thing and, apparently, an epidemic. First Schaub, now Santonio.
Winner: 49ers
San Diego Chargers (3-1) at New Orleans Saints (0-4)
Sunday Night Football
7:20 p.m. on NBC
Line: Saints by 3
- This just feels like an awfully big test for a 3-1 team facing an 0-4 team. The Saints, for all intents and purposes, are dead when it comes to the playoffs. No team has ever started the season 0-4 and made the playoffs, so this is all about pride. Believe it or not, the Saints still have a lot of that. The Chargers, on the other hand, are a surprising 3-1 and are gaining some believers in and around the league who feel if they can continue their hot streaks late in the season like every other year, they'll be a lock in the AFC West.
Lots of pressure, Ryan Matthews is still being worked back into the rotation… I don't like it. Drew Brees is putting up the numbers, but his defense is really, REALLY poor. Regardless, I think we vintage Brees and vintage Rivers. In case you didn't know, that means 'Saints win a tight one.'
Winner: Saints
Houston Texans (4-0) at New York Jets (2-2)
Monday Night Football
7:30 p.m. on ESPN
Line: Texans by 7
- I'm not about to whistle Dixie up anyone's anything, but I truly do believe this is a good test for the Texans.
(Waits for laughter to subside.)
(Still waiting…)
Revis Island is closed this season, and Santonio Holmes now knows Matt Schaub's pain, but that doesn't mean this isn't a test.
The world is counting the Jets out. They just got blown out 34-0 at home by the 49ers, Mark Sanchez is under fire, all of New York is clamoring for some Tebow magic, and Rex Ryan's seat is suddenly hotter than your average La-Z-Boy. They're about to hit primetime in a manner that's more like a funeral than it is a "and here's the Jets!"
Expect crazy stuff by the Jets. And not just, "Oh, Tim Tebow is under center, I wonder what he'll do!" Don't be shocked to see Chaz Schillens toss Tebow a touchdown, or Mark Sanchez tackle Ben Tate for a loss, or Rex Ryan pull out Pee-Wee League trick plays. The Jets are wounded animals about to welcome a national audience into their circus. Don't be shocked to see weird stuff.
On the other side, this is Houston's coming out party. They're 4-0, they're crushing opponents week after week, they've got that "we've never beaten the Jets" chip on their shoulder, and they're concerned about the running game.
Expect lots of runs, lots of clock management, and lots of bootlegs that lead to Matt Schaub bombs. Houston doesn't have a glaring weakness except for maybe the lack of big play from KR Trindon Holliday, so the Texans will ride their bread and butter.
The Texans are certainly aware of the Jets' desperation, but I don't see them getting cute on offense or defense. If Tebow intercepts a pass for a pick-six, or Sanchez laterals to Joe Namath and HE tosses a TD to Tebow, it won't affect how Houston does anything.
I expect a game that shows the Texans can win even when caged with a desperate animal on it's turf; just another sign of Houston's rising dominance.
Winner: Texans

Re: Decision Time: New Kit or Camera
thanks for the responses!
i liked the idea of getting a cheaper camera and spending more on a better kit... but i really want to pursue photography and a dslr would allow me easier manual control over m photos.. whatever..
the drums.
i did indeed tune m drums with a drumdial and i slaped new heads top and bottom on everything. i played with the tunings but im still not feeling it. i wonder if it would be worth it to get a new kit seeing as i dont play to go to college for percussion and i not in a band. The main reason for a new kit would be smaller sizes especially a smaller bass, and better spund.
Also on the car front. after second thought im pretty sure my parents would NEVER buy me a 10k car. ever. even if they could. so ignore that figure.
thanks for the help any more guidance would be very apprieciated:)

Gear Review
Bad zipper design
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
These are very good looking shoe covers, and have a great access point for tightening shoes on the go. However, the rear zipper design is terrible. It is not long enough, so a lot of force has to be used to put the bootie on over shoes. I wear a 42.5 and purchased a large, so this is not a sizing issue. The heel seams started separating after my 2nd wearing due to the poor zipper design. I will be sending back to Backcountry shortly.

This morning, France, Germany, Britain, Italy, and 13 other EU members said they will recognize Kosovo's sovereignty. The territory, under UN administration since 1999, declared independence from Serbia yesterday. The United States was not far behind its European allies. Today, President Bush signaled American acceptance of Kosovo's statehood in remarks made in Tanzania, and Secretary Rice made it official.
But don't expect the Spaniards to do so. Spanish Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos said his government would not accept Kosovo's "unilateral act," which "does not respect international law." Apparently Madrid, which has a separatist problem of its own, did not believe the European Union's foreign ministers, who labeled yesterday's succession a one-off event.
Spain should indeed be worried about Kosovo's example. There were slightly more than fifty nations at the end of the Second World War. Since then, decolonization and separatism have increased the number of states to 193, 194, or 195—depending on who is doing the counting. Today, the process of division continues. Kosovo, for example, is the sixth state to be formed from Yugoslavia. So the Russians are right to be concerned about separatist movements in Chechnya and Dagestan and the Chinese with minorities in Xinjiang, Tibet, and Inner Mongolia.
Whether we like it or not, separatism will not end with Kosovo's independence. The Russians said they would seek independence for Abkhazia and South Ossetia from Georgia if others recognize Kosovo. And Taiwan, an island that meets all the definitions of a state, will undoubtedly try to use the West's recognition of Kosovo to its own advantage.
It is stirring when people declare independence, and we need to back their aspirations and the concept of self-determination. There is no advantage to us in attempting to stand in the way of history—or helping Russia and China, both large multicultural empires created by conquest and held together by oppression, in keeping themselves together. Kosovo is no one-off. Nor should it be.

President Obama is set to deliver one of his most pointed attacks against House Budget Chair Paul Ryan's budget proposal, calling it "radical" and a "Trojan horse."
In a speech the president is set to deliver on Tuesday to the Associated Press Annual Luncheon, given in front of newspaper executives, the president offers a sharp attack against the Wisconsin Republican's budget plan.
"It's a Trojan horse. Disguised as deficit reduction plan, it's really an attempt to impose a radical vision on our country," Obama is expected to say, according to excerpts released to National Journal. "It's nothing but thinly veiled social Darwinism."
He continues the stern attack: "It's antithetical to our entire history as a land of opportunity and upward mobility for everyone who's willing to work for it – a place where prosperity doesn't trickle down from the top, but grows outward from the heart of the middle class."
The speech strikes a defiant tone, making his election pitch to middle class voters who are grappling with a still-recovering economy. The president is set to continue his bombardment against trickle-down economic theory.
"In this country, broad-based prosperity has never trickled-down from the success of a wealthy few," the excerpts read. "It has always come from the success of a strong and growing middle class."
The president will deliver his remarks that the luncheon on Tuesday afternoon.

:well, it took me less than 30 minutes... :but it was really simple and is most likely not correct. : :but maybe it is, and this way, we could concentrate on something different. :btw: if this looks right, i may tackle the other _r's tomorrow. : :~ibotty That's not going to quite work, but it was a good try! The issue is that the supplied buffer must be used to hold auxillary data... the pointers to pw_name, pw_passwd, and so forth in the struct passwd. This means that __hashpw() in the same file must be adjusted. It uses a static u_int max and static char *line at the moment... instead the buffer and buffer size must be passed to hashpw() and it must properly return an error if the buffer is not large enough. getpwnam() must allocate a sufficiently sized buffer and deal with ERANGE. ERANGE must be returned if the buffer is not sufficient. This is how FreeBSD-current deals with it. I'm not saying copy this, because it's rather messy code, but just to demonstrate the problem... if (pwd_storage == NULL) { pwd_storage = malloc(PWD_STORAGE_INITIAL); if (pwd_storage == NULL) return (NULL); pwd_storage_size = PWD_STORAGE_INITIAL; } do { rv = fn(key, &pwd, pwd_storage, pwd_storage_size, &res); if (res == NULL && rv == ERANGE) { free(pwd_storage); if ((pwd_storage_size << 1) > PWD_STORAGE_MAX) { pwd_storage = NULL; return (NULL); } pwd_storage_size <<= 1; pwd_storage = malloc(pwd_storage_size); if (pwd_storage == NULL) return (NULL); } } while (res == NULL && rv == ERANGE); Would you like to try again? -Matt Matthew Dillon <dillon@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Travis: Breaking down Spurs vs. Trail Blazers
San Antonio facing stiffer test than Dallas provided
CORPUS CHRISTI - In the playoffs, the results and happenings in one series don't usually carry over to the next round simply because all of the variables change when you are presented with a different matchup. In the case of the San Antonio Spurs, though, the way the Dallas Mavericks were able to pick apart their defense during the first round may give the Portland Trail Blazers hope that they can pull off their second upset in a row.
In terms of personnel and style of play, the Blazers are very similar to the Mavericks. That's not really a surprise considering that their coach is Terry Stotts, who worked under Rick Carlisle in Dallas for four seasons. Stotts landed a head-coaching gig with the team that had the most Dirk Nowitzki-like player in the league in LaMarcus Aldridge and he's made the most of it, installing a very similar offense centered around his multifaceted big man's unguardable mid-range game. On top of that, he has the same points of emphasis that the Mavericks used to attack San Antonio in the first round, making sure his team spaces the floor, runs countless pick-and-rolls and plays unselfishly.
Aldridge doesn't space the floor quite as well as Nowitzki because he doesn't shoot threes regularly (although he definitely has a nice touch from deep), but he's a lethal mid-range shooter who acts as both a primary weapon and a safety valve for everything the Blazers do offensively. Outside of the narrowing gap between Aldridge and Nowitzki, every other part of Portland's team is superior what the Mavs have. Damian Lillard is a more efficient and effective version of Monta Ellis, Nic Batum is a better offensive player than Shawn Marion and a comparable defender and Wesley Matthews gives the Blazers another perimeter defender that can space the floor that the Mavs lacked.
Considering that the Blazers play a nearly identical style, the fact that they have a better crunch-time five than Dallas has to concern the Spurs after they struggled so much with the Mavericks. Lillard is a terror to defend with his ability to pull-up with supreme efficiency from 3-point range and his uncontainable quickness when going to the rim, and he's sure to put a ton of pressure on the Spurs, and though the combination of Tiago Splitter, Boris Diaw and Tim Duncan guarded Nowitzki extremely well, if Dwight Howard and Omer Asik couldn't stop Aldridge, then they might not fare much better.
During the regular season, Portland scored 109 points against the Spurs twice and even dropped 115 against them in a home win. If the Blazers get superstar performances from Aldridge and Lillard in this series and their complimentary pieces like Batum, Matthews and even Robin Lopez help fill in the gaps, they should be able to have a lot of offensive success against the Spurs' defense.
But will they be able to defend? That has been the major question for this Blazers' squad all season. Portland finished fifth in the league in offensive efficiency this season and that includes a mid-season slump and more than 20 games without Aldridge. But they also had the third-worst defensive efficiency amongst the 16 playoff teams ahead of only the Mavericks and the Brooklyn Nets.
Portland's defense wasn't much better in the first round, when it surrendered 109.8 points per 100 possessions in six games versus the Rockets. While Houston is a great offensive team, it spent a lot of that series isolating Dwight Howard and James Harden and not by trying to get the Blazers into rotations, and Portland still got shredded. That's not a good sign for the Blazers, because the Spurs won't be happy dumping the ball down to Duncan on every possession, and San Antonio is exponentially better at moving the ball and breaking down the defense than the Rockets.
But then again, we just went through a series in which the Spurs were forced to rely on one-on-one play. So will Stotts poach another tactic from Carlisle by trying to force San Antonio's aging stars to win another series and sticking to their shooters no matter what?
We should find out rather quickly if that is the route Stotts goes with when defending the Spurs. Similar to Jose Calderon, Lillard is an atrocious defender, but Portland can always hide him on Danny Green while having Batum and Matthews, two very good defensive players, guard Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili. On paper, it seems like this is the optimal strategy for the Blazers. Forcing the Spurs out of their comfort zone is the only way the Blazers can win this series, because, as good as the Blazers are offensively, San Antonio is still superior on both ends of the floor.
And who knows, that blowout win for the Spurs in Game 7 might have been the breaking point for the idea of letting Parker and Ginobili beat you. Parker was ultra-aggressive, dropping 32 points while getting 13 free throws and Ginobili added 20 points on seven shots while getting nine free throws of his own. They played well in the first six games of the series, but in Game 7, they made a clear effort to destroy the Mavericks on the inside so that they'd have to start leaving their shooters to help. Sure enough, the help started to come, and the ball finally started to move like the Spurs want it to.
Lopez is a better rim protector than anyone on the Mavs' roster, so that's a plus for the Blazers when it comes to locking down the paint, but Ginobili and Parker are still going to win the majority of their battles against him if Portland doesn't send help. Should the Blazers muck things up for the Spurs, they may be able to take a couple of games in the raucous Moda Center, but even if San Antonio is forced to rely more on Parker and Ginobili than usual for another series, I'd bet on them to come through.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's a true honor to be able to have this opportunity to be with you this evening. John McCain, a dear friend, distinguished guests, leaders of the department, there are many other members of Congress here, it is a real privilege to be here to celebrate 100 years of U.S. Naval Aviation.
I think it was Churchill who said, and I quote, "Pilots, not Dukes, Earls or Princesses, are the true nobility." And I say that with all deference to His Royal Highness the Duke of York, who was here with us earlier this evening. I think we all agree that we're truly in the company of greatness here this evening: people like John McCain, brave and courageous, whose heroism is something that I think everyone respects. And I'm also very honored to have been sitting at the same table as retired Navy Captain Thomas Hudner, the only living Navy aviator who received the Medal of Honor.
Now, I'm well aware that naval aviators are a colorful bunch. You like to tell stories, mostly with your hands and wristwatches. And for good reason: there's a lot to learn from practical experience, those bits of advice that you won't find in training manuals.
For example, here are some of the important points that you provide. "Flying is the second-greatest thrill known to man. Landing is the first." Or, "The probability of survival is directly related to the angle of arrival." Or, "The only time that you have too much fuel is when you're on fire." And always remember, "It's far better to be down here wishing you were up there than to be up there wishing you were down here."
Tonight we celebrate the magnificent history of American Naval Aviation. It is a history with perhaps no finer chapter than, as John pointed out, the Pacific campaign of World War II. It was a time for bold offensive action, for daring in the face of grave risks, and for the kind of innovation that matters most. It was, in other words, a mission for naval aviators.
The Japanese fleet attacked Pearl Harbor 70 years ago next week. That story, the story of how America fought back from that terrible attack and reclaimed the Pacific, one bloody battle after another, hardly needs to be recounted before this audience. But it suffices to say that as our fleet island-hopped to the west, naval aviation cleared the way.
In one of the campaign's boldest moments, Admiral Nimitz vowed at Midway to greet our expected visitors with "the kind of reception they deserve," and so he did. Nimitz outmaneuvered the enemy fleet with only three available carriers and turned back the Japanese offensive.
The victorious pilots at Midway, like all great combat aviators, possessed a rare mix of natural gifts: supreme hand-eye coordination, physical endurance, presence of mind, instinct, engineering sense, spatial awareness, and more importantly, they were tough sons-of-bitches. And they took bold offensive action. They showed an innovative, pioneering spirit, and they gave the enemy that old American moxie. That's the essence of what you do. Vigilance is always necessary – patrols, search-and-rescue operations, reconnaissance, and even deterrence. But offense – offense, not defense – bold, offensive action – is in the heart of the people in this room.
Boldness, risk-taking, it was in the heart of Navy Pilot Eugene Ely, who in 1911 first launched from the bow of a ship, less than a year from when the Navy took delivery of its first airplane. And boldness has been at the heart of our aviators ever since: the first crossing of the Atlantic by air; the daring missions in Korea; the first Americans in space; the missions at risk that led to capture in Vietnam; dominating displays of striking power during the Cold War, the first Gulf War, and beyond.
Boldness is at the heart of naval aviation today. Last week marked the astounding 50th birthday of the "Big E," USS ENTERPRISE, the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and the eighth U.S. Navy ship to carry that name. Like ENTERPRISE, which Admiral Sandy Winnefeld and others so ably led into nearly every major combat operation over the last half-century, today's aviation assets are absolutely essential to projecting power overseas. Indeed, they comprise an unrivaled force in the world today on the seas and far inland as well. In Afghanistan, a landlocked country hundreds of miles from the nearest sea, carrier aviation accounts for fully half of all air combat missions and one-third of close air support for our troops in contact with the enemy.
Following the devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan this past spring, Navy helicopters were among the first to provide assistance. I had the chance last month to visit USS BLUE RIDGE, and thanked our sailors and our helicopter teams for their impressive efforts. They provided critical relief – 200 tons of food and water and supplies – during a difficult time for a friend and ally in need.
All of this takes a talented team of more than just pilots. It's the forward air controllers. It's the logistics specialists, the maintainers, the rescue swimmers, the crew chiefs, the weapons systems specialists. They, too, are the heroes that we celebrate tonight. Heroes like First Lieutenant Stephen Boada a forward observer and a forward air controller with the 3rd Marines in Afghanistan, who in 2005 directed supporting fires while battling Taliban insurgents. And though wounded, he fought off the enemy while Marines extracted fallen comrades, and at the same time directed gunships to engage and destroy the enemy. These are the bold actions that are in the finest tradition of naval aviation.
The future is no different. We need the entire military to be bold, to take the offensive, to innovate, to embrace risk. Air superiority may not necessarily be the birthright of the United States, but it is the birthright of our pilots – pilots who are willing to act boldly and to adapt when necessary. And that's exactly why we have air superiority.
Even as we adapt to a changing strategic environment, and as we enter a period of fiscal constraint, naval aviation, let me assure you, will continue to play a vital role in the nation's defense. We are intensifying our role in the Asia-Pacific region and establishing a posture that is broadly distributed, flexible, and sustainable. And the experience, skill, and boldness of this community will be absolutely essential to meeting that goal.
For months now, we at the Department of Defense have been focused on building a strong military for the future while doing our part to meet our fiscal responsibilities. I've made clear that we will abide by four guidelines:
Number one, that in the end, we will continue to maintain the best military in the world.
Number two, that we will not hollow out this force.
Number three, that we will take a balanced approach, looking at every area that needs to be looked at within the Defense Department.
And number four, we are not going to break faith with the troops and their families. These are individuals that committed their lives to duty for this country.
Now, as I've often made clear, unless Congress acts in the next year, we face the possibility of additional automatic across-the-board – a nutty formula that was established up there on the Hill – these across-the-board cuts that would undercut all of our strategy-driven efforts. And so I take this moment to strongly urge the members of Congress to draw inspiration – draw inspiration – from the boldness that we celebrate tonight, to put partisanship aside, and to find the solutions to this country's fiscal problems that everyone expects. If our aviators, if our men and women in uniform, are willing to put their lives on the line, are willing to fight and to die for this country, then surely our elected leaders should be able to take a small risk in order to do what's right for this country.
To America's naval aviators, I want to thank you for all that you've done in the service of our country. I thank you for your sacrifice. I thank you for your patriotism. And I also want to thank as well your families, your loved ones, of our naval aviators, for your support and for your love. We simply could not do these jobs without the love and support of those that are dearest to us, our spouses and our families. And we thank you for your loyalty, for your support, and for your constant love of not only those that deploy to battle, but your love of country as well.
America is stronger because of what you've done. But more importantly, America is stronger because of who you are. In that great movie "The Bridges at Toko-Ri" the commander at the end of that movie, as he watches pilots taking off from the carrier, says a line that all of us remember very well: "Where do we get such pilots? Thank God we get them."
You are the best. You are great citizens. You are great warriors. And you are great patriots. God bless you, God bless our military, and God bless this great country.

Pitcher Andy Oliver focused on the presentWritten by Chris Schmidbauer | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Being Andy Oliver can't be easy, especially these days.
After all, when Baseball America ranks you as the third best prospect in the Detroit Tigers organization, you are bound to turn a few heads when you walk into a room.
During the annual Mud Hens media day, Oliver was the event's star attraction. Every news outlet in town was pounced in prime position, waiting to speak with the 23-year-old.
"It kind of comes with the territory," Oliver said. "There's been a lot of attention because expectations for me are what they are."
The left-hander has been on the baseball radar for quite a while now. Originally drafted in 2006 by Minnesota, Oliver turned down the Twins to pitch at the collegiate level for Oklahoma State, where he was an All-American for the Cowboys.
"The biggest thing for me was becoming more experienced," Oliver said about why he chose college. "I think there were plenty of moments and things I got to take part in at Oklahoma State that I wouldn't have been able to in the minors."
The Vermilion, Ohio, native would be drafted again in 2009, this time in the second round by the Detroit Tigers, who thought of him highly enough to assign him to their Double-A affiliate Erie for his first full professional season.
Oliver rewarded the Tigers for their faith in his abilities by going 6-4 with a 3.61 ERA in 14 starts with the SeaWolves. What was even more impressive was Oliver's 70 strikeouts in 77.1 innings pitched.
The Tigers liked what they saw so much they purchased Oliver's contract from Erie so they could see where their budding superstar was at.
But Oliver's time in the majors was not nearly as successful. In five starts, he was 0-4 with a 7.36 ERA.
"I learned a lot about what I needed to work on in Detroit," Oliver said. "I think I learned that my approach to the game needed to be better. There was a lot more I could get away with in Double-A that I couldn't get away with in the big leagues."
He was demoted and sent to Toledo, where he worked on perfecting his craft for the remainder of the 2010 season. He had moderate success in Triple-A, making nine starts for a 3-4 record with a 3.23 ERA.
Heading into this season, Oliver was expected to compete for a spot in the Tigers starting rotation. Despite a strong spring, the Tigers front office opted to have him start the season with the Mud Hens.
While starting in Toledo may not have been Oliver's first choice, he isn't acting like it. When speaking with him, it's clear his focus is on getting himself and the Hens off to a good start.
"I am excited to start the season, and I am just trying to help this team win some games. I think I have what it takes to pitch in the major leagues, but right now I am going to focus on pitching well and being a leader in the locker room."
Try as he might, it's hard to deny the grand plans the Tigers and their fans have for Oliver. To say the expectations are high is a bit of an understatement. If any of the current starting pitchers struggle or get injured, the consensus is Oliver will get the first crack at filling the vacancy.
But whatever the expectations might be, Oliver isn't paying attention.
"They are always going to be there, but you just can't think about that stuff," he said. "If you dedicate any time to thinking about them, it will start affecting your performance. I have such a higher set of expectations for myself anyway.
"It is all about getting a good start. I worked on my slider in the spring and that needs to get better. My consistency needs to get better, and I need to keep working hard."
At the end of the day, Oliver knows that no matter what the timetable for his return to Detroit, he can only control one thing — how he plays.
"My mind is here. I am here to help this team win, and if and when I get called back up to the Tigers, it will happen when it happens."

Here is what we'll be building:
Step 2: Trim and Drill and Awl
Step 3: Get Strapped
Pictured below are the drilled/trimmed buckets, the assembled carry strap, and the assembled bungee retaining strap. Shock, aka Bungee, cord is inexpensive so I bought new at approximate 2' lengths. Overkill... better than underkill. Really we only need about 18-20 inches.
Use your best judgment for the measurement of the webbing straps.
these (and all of the kitty litter/bucket type) look great
here are two improvements
1) add panels of foam insulation on alll side to make one side a cooler, you could get very fancy here.
2) add LED lights if the black plastic is too dark to see contents, or, like your car boot, easy to see at night
Folks, you don't even need a drill for this job. The plastic is thin enough that a drill bit and a good grip (pliers) will do nicely.

Faraday cage
A Faraday cage is a metallic enclosure that prevents the entry or escape of an electromagnetic field (EM field).
Hacker tools and techniques
Looking for something else?
A Faraday cage is a metallic enclosure that prevents the entry or escape of an electromagnetic field (EM field). An ideal Faraday cage consists of an unbroken, perfectly conducting shell. This ideal cannot be achieved in practice, but can be approached by using fine-mesh copper screening. For best performance, the cage should be directly connected to an earth ground.
Network Security Visibility
Ensuring comprehensive network security visibility is no easy task. Uncover expert tips on how to improve network security visibility with network flow analysis tools, cloud security monitoring solutions, and anomaly-based monitoring technology.

Faraday cages are used in electronic labs where stray EM fields must be kept out. This is important in the testing of sensitive wireless receiving equipment. In addition, a Faraday cage can prevent the escape of the EM fields emitted by a cathode-ray-tube (CRT) computer monitor. Such fields can be intercepted and translated to allow hackers to remotely view on-screen data in real time without the need for wires, cables, or cameras. This practice, known as van Eck phreaking, can also be used by government officials to view the computer activities of known criminals and certain criminal suspects.
A heavy-duty Faraday cage can protect against direct lightning strikes. When properly connected to an earth ground, the cage conducts the high current harmlessly to ground, and keeps the EM pulse from affecting personnel or hardware inside.

Miss Felicity Prim, an old-fashioned girl in contemporary Manhattan, decides after having her arm broken during a mugging that she needs to make some changes. "This will never happen again," she vows. She enrolls in a self-defense class, buys a taser gun, and moves to Connecticut. One of her favorite pastimes is losing herself in crime novels, and she decides that a lifetime of reading mysteries has given her all the skills she needs to become an amateur sleuth. In The Outsmarting of Criminals, the first of a new series by Steven Rigolosi, Miss Prim's resolve is quickly put to the test, because while moving into her quiet cottage, she discovers a secret passage leading to a secret basement, and in the center of the floor…a secret dead body.

Perdomo Habano Torpedo
6 1/2 x 54 - Maduro - Single
Special Offer
Special Offer
Perdomo Habano Torpedo cigars are pure pleasure. Nick Perdomo Jr. created this special, full-bodied blend using Cuban-seed tobaccos grown in the Esteli, Condega, and Jalapa regions of Nicaragua. 'The beautiful Cuban-seed Corojo and triple-fermented Nicaraguan Maduro wrappers complement their unique filler blend by adding rich, bold flavors with a smooth, satisfying finish', says Nick. And tasting is believing. Whichever size and wrapper you prefer, one thing is certain: these cigars will blow your mind!
I totally do not understand the strong reviews for this cigar. It is not in the same league as some of the truely great cigars. A bite. I smoked the entire box in 20 days with the same result on each cigar.
Great cigar, great taste, great aroma, burns and smokes well
The draw was great,taste outstanding,apparence the best,burn very good.My new best cigar.
One of my favorite corojo wrappers is on this beauty. The Perdomo Habano Torpedo hits the spot. Flawless construction and burn, earthy and nutty with a touch of spice. The flavors blend nicely, each one steps up but never to overshadow the others. All in all.... one fine stick. Nick's done it again. Enjoy.

(Dilfer says putting is the strength of his game.)
Trent Dilfer might be having a better career off the football field than he ever had on it. He's established himself as a perceptive analyst for ESPN and he's a plus-something golfer who boasts a career-low round of 62.
When I spoke to Dilfer at length for a Golf Digest Q-and-A, he was refreshingly honest about his shortcomings as an NFL quarterback. "I have no problem saying this: I feel like I never reached my potential as a player," he said.
Dilfer's totals from his 14-year NFL career are pedestrian at best: 113 touchdowns, 129 interceptions and 20,518 passing yards, which is an average of eight touchdowns, nine picks and just under 1,500 yards per year. But Dilfer has something that Jim Kelly, Dan Marino and Donovan McNabb all wish they had: a ring. Dilfer was the Baltimore Ravens backup quarterback in 2000 until starter Tony Banks got hurt. When Dilfer took over in week 6, the Ravens won that game, and their record went to 5-1. Then they lost three in a row, the third game a 9-6 loss to the Steelers in which the two teams combined for five field goals. That was the last time the Ravens would lose that season. They finished by winning 11 straight and beat the Giants in the Super Bowl 34-7 (above). That year Dilfer finished with 12 TDs, 11 INTs, 1,502 yards and completed 59.3 percent of his passes, just a little better than his career averages in every category.
In my conversation with Dilfer--click here for the full transcript--the former player was as articulate and open as we've come to expect from him on TV. He talked about how golf has been a spiritual thread throughout his life, from a teenager tight-roping around trouble to a grieving father who used the lessons of the game to help him deal with the loss of his son (Trevin Dilfer died of heart disease at the age of 5 in 2003).
"When you go through something like losing your son, you can't just check out of life," says Dilfer. "I think I used that line once when I was at a speaking engagement and I was talking about my son. I said, 'I had a choice: I could walk off the course or I could go dig it out of a buried lie in a bunker.' That's the approach we've taken as a family."
On the eve of yet another Steelers/Ravens tilt, Dilfer refers to Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis as a "flippin' freak" and says the 2000 Ravens defense was the best ever. Dilfer also shares some travel tips for playing golf in Tahoe and tells of expensive lesson from Lee Janzen when Dilfer made the mistake of trying to beat a tour player.
Click below to hear Dilfer tell that story:
After two torn Achilles tendons, bone spurs in his left ankle and 12 shoulder separations, I'm betting Dilfer is now content to call himself an avid golfer, an analyst, a dedicated dad and a football fan as he watches tomorrow's Ravens/Steelers game the same way we will, without a helmet on.
Then again, there are guys like my buddy Devin Pedzwater, an avid Steelers fan who was last seen tightening his chinstrap.
