Countdown to SUNY: 9th Grade Plan
Did you know . . .
That college graduates earn substantially more money than high school graduates? Here is a breakdown of the median 2008 earnings by college degree:
The courses you take in high school are important.
Whether you plan to attend a 4-year college, technology or community college, take at least five academic classes every semester in high school to develop skills in reading, writing, speaking, listening, and reasoning. Colleges are looking for a solid foundation of learning that you can build upon. Keep in mind that even though they may not be required for high school graduation, most colleges prefer the following:
Many states have diploma options available to students, and these options frequently require additional high school coursework. For example, to be eligible for the New York State Regents Diploma with Advanced Designation, the following courses are required in high school:
*Units required are adjusted for students taking a sequence in career and technical education or the arts.
Except where noted, each unit typically represents one school year of successfully completed coursework.
Your counselor can help you make the right class choices.
Take academics seriously and keep your grades up.
Your high school grades are important and the difficulty of your courses may be a factor in a college's decision to offer you admission. College admission officers will pay close attention to your grade point average (GPA), class rank, Advanced Placement (AP), and other honors-level courses, as well as your scores on standardized tests and state exams such as the Regents in New York State. Regents' scores are reflected on your transcript and will be viewed by colleges. So, challenge yourself by taking tougher courses and maintaining good grades. Not only will this help prepare you for standardized tests (such as the PSAT, SAT and ACT) but it will also determine your eligibility for some colleges. Many high school seniors realize their grade point average is too low for the colleges they wish to attend simply because of the grades they earned in the 9th and 10th grades. Don't let this happen to you! All grades count from 9th to 12th.
Get a head start on your SUNY application.
Begin building your SUNY Online Academic Record (SOAR) at the end of 9th grade. You will be able to return at the end of each academic year to update SOAR with additional courses and test scores. And, by the time you are ready to apply in your senior year, your academic record will be nearly complete! Request an unofficial transcript from your school counselor to begin your SOAR. Then login to create an account. Be sure to remember your login and password and keep them in a secure location.
Get to know your teachers, counselor and principal.
Show them that you are both serious about learning and are a hard worker. When you begin applying to college in a couple of years, you will have people who know you well. Those who know you well will write the strongest recommendation letters.
Review your transcript yearly, especially if a grade has been changed on your report card by a teacher or a transcript update has been submitted by your counselor. Be sure to have these changes verified by your parent/guardian. This is crucial as teachers and counselors retire and without written proof, your transcript and GPA may be negatively affected.
Be sure to check out the College Board's 20 Questions to Ask Your School Counselor.
Get involved.
In school activities . . . community service . . . part-time work
It is not the quantity but the quality and longevity of involvement in activities or organizations that matters. For example, if, as a 9th grader, you join the school newspaper and are a club reporter and then in 10th grade become a sports reporter, in 11th, a sports editor and in 12th, the editor-in-chief, it demonstrates growth in leadership. In community service, the same applies. It is not a sign of commitment if you simply participate in a charity walk once a year for four years. Rather, you should find something in which you have an avid interest. Whether it is an animal shelter, a nursing home, or a soup kitchen, the idea is that you stay and put in significant time. As your commitment becomes obvious to the program coordinator, you should be given more responsibility and by your fourth year, a special project which you lead. For example, if you were to work in a nursing home and gained the respect and trust of those in charge, by the fourth year, they might acknowledge your sense of responsibility and leadership skills allowing you to plan, implement, and supervise a special program like a "Seniors Prom."
Get a head start by creating your activities resume now. An activities resume is a great way to highlight your strengths to inform colleges about your out-of-class accomplishments and special talents. Once you begin your activities resume, you can update it as you accomplish and achieve by adding your new activity, skill or job.
Start saving for college.
It's not too early to begin saving for college. Learn about 529 plans. The College Savings Plans Network is a national non-profit association dedicated to making college accessible and affordable for families.
Another way to begin saving for college is by earning points when you shop.
Make the most of your summer.
Keep busy by doing something meaningful such as finding a summer job, identifying a volunteer experience in a career field that interests you, learning or perfecting a skill or hobby, going to summer school to get ahead or catch up, attending a summer program or camp, or catching up on your reading.
Additional ideas include the following:
What does it all mean?
ACT - A college entrance examination generally taken during the junior and/or senior year that assesses a student's general educational development and his/her ability to complete college-level work. The ACT is comprised of four subject tests - English, mathematics, reading, and science and an optional writing test (essay).
AP (Advanced Placement) - Courses and exams that enable high school students to earn college credit or advanced standing at most American colleges and universities. To learn more about AP courses and subject area exams go to http://www.collegeboard.org/student/testing/ap/about.html.
Associate Degree - The associate degree is awarded to students who complete a minimum of 60 college credits with a 2.0 GPA.
Athletics - Colleges and universities belong to leagues that have their own rules, regulations, and eligibility requirements. SUNY participates in NCAA Divisions I and III and NJCAA Divisions I, II, and III, and NAIA, and USCAA.
NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) - Division I and II schools offer athletic scholarships and students are required to meet NCAA's academic requirements. Division III schools do not offer athletic scholarships and students are not required to meet NCAA academic requirements.
A future student athlete should meet with his/her counselor as early as possible to review the NCAA requirements to ensure he/she is taking the right high school courses.
NJCAA (National Junior College Athletic Association) - NJCAA Division I and II schools offer scholarships, while Division III schools do not. There are no academic eligibility requirements for student athletes entering junior or community colleges.
NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) - NAIA schools have an option of awarding full or partial scholarships. In order to play a sport or receive an athletic scholarship, a student must meet eligibility requirements.
USCAA (United States Collegiate Athletic Association) - USCAA schools have an option of awarding full or partial scholarships. In order to play a sport or receive an athletic scholarship, a student must meet USCAA eligibility requirements.
Bachelor's Degree (also called Baccalaureate Degree) - The bachelor's degree is awarded to students who complete a minimum of 120 college credits. Bachelor's degrees are found at four-year colleges and universities.
Certificate Programs - Certificate programs provide specific job skills, require a minimum of 30 college credits and are generally offered at community colleges.
Class Rank - Many high schools use class rank to show where a student stands academically in relation to other members in his/her graduating class. The student who has the highest GPA is number one in the class. The student with the second highest GPA is number two, etc.
Community/Junior College - A community/junior college is also known as a two-year school. Courses offered include a transfer curriculum with credits transferable toward a bachelor's degree at a four-year college and an occupational or technical curricula with courses of study designed to prepare students for employment in two years.
Credit - College courses are measured in credit hours and typical college classes are 3 credit hours. A full-time student will generally take 15 college credits, or 4 to 5 classes, per semester.
Early Action - An admission program under which students apply early to one or more colleges and receive a decision, prior to regular notification dates, without an obligation to attend. Admission is non-binding. Students typically have until May 1 to declare their intent to enroll and may apply under Early Action to as many schools as they wish.
Early Decision - An admission program under which students apply early and receive a decision prior to regular notification dates. Admission is binding. If they are offered admission, they must commit to attending the college. As a result, students may not apply under Early Decision to more than one college.
FAFSA - The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is required for students wishing to apply for financial aid - including federal, state, and campus-based aid. The FAFSA should be completed as soon after January 1 of the senior year in high school as possible, even if the family taxes have not been filed.
GPA (Grade Point Average) - Grade point average reflects the average of a student's semester (or end of term) grades, starting with the freshman year. Although GPA scales differ among schools, they are usually reported as letters or numbers on a variety of scales.
Some schools have "weighted grades" for honors and/or AP courses. If a high school has weighted grades, then a grade in a weighted course is worth more than it is in a non-weighted course. For example, an A in an honors course might be worth 5 points instead of the usual 4, a B worth 4 points instead of 3, etc.
A variety of methods are used to determine GPA. Regardless of the method used, the higher the grades, the higher the GPA, and the higher the GPA, the greater the college and scholarship opportunities.
IB (International Baccalaureate) - IB programs promote the education of the whole person, emphasizing intellectual, personal, emotional, and social growth. Diploma students take six subjects, write a 4,000 word extended essay, complete a course in theory of knowledge, as well as complete a number of creativity, action, and service projects. IB diplomas are recognized by the world's leading universities and may result in awarding of college credit and/or scholarships.
Major - The primary field of study in which an individual wishes to receive a degree.
Minor - A second field of study requiring fewer credit hours than a major.
PLAN - A "pre ACT" test that also assists students with their career and college planning. Typically PLAN is administered in the fall of the sophomore year.
PSAT/NMSQT (Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test) - A practice test for the SAT that is also used to determine National Merit finalists. The PSAT/NMSQT is given in October, primarily to juniors, and measures critical reading, math problem-solving and writing skills.
Recommendation - Most colleges request two or three letters of recommendation when submitting an application for admission. These are generally written by people who know you inside and outside of the classroom (usually an academic teacher and a college advisor/school counselor).
SAT Reasoning Test - A college entrance examination generally taken during the junior and/or senior year that measures the critical thinking skills needed for academic success in college. The SAT includes critical reading, mathematics, and writing sections.
SAT II: Subject Tests - One-hour tests that measure a student's knowledge in specific subject areas that should be taken as the high school subjects are completed. These tests are required by some of the more competitive colleges.
Transcript - A document that details a student's academic achievement in high school. Although the appearance of the transcript varies from school to school, all high school transcripts generally contain the following information: courses, grades, and credits for each grade completed, beginning with grade nine; current cumulative GPA and class rank; and anticipated graduation date. An unofficial transcript is exactly the same as an official transcript except that there is no signature, stamp, or seal.

Music Video: Lena Dunham has directed Bleachers' new music video, and it's GREAT
Is there anything better than when pair of cool, creative individuals who also happen to be romantically involved collaborate to make something glorious together? No, I answer myself, there is not, which is why this new offering from super-couple Lena Dunham and her musician boyfriend Jack Antonoff, lead singer of Bleachers, is so fantastic.
Lena directed the new video for the band's unashamedly bouncy new song I Wanna Get Better. It takes place mainly in a psychiatrist's office, with Jack nodding wearily along while all manner of crazies recount their various ails to him. The combination of hazy sunlit shots and the gems that come out of the patients' mouths bear the stamp of Lena's weird but brilliant witticisms. Watch out for the moment when the paranoid housewife, the misguided wild-child and the over-worked middle-aged man get together to perform choreographed dance moves and harmonise to the song. Ahhhhh.

Comments about Coal The B.E.B. Light Balaclava:
Great evo price and fast free shipping. Light weight material is not too warm and it fits under bike and ski helmet. One size fits all if you have a small or medium/large face. Perhaps great for teens, but for this adult, it was uncomfortable. Tried to stretch it and it ripped so i removed the edging around the face opening. While that part is OK now, the part that wraps around my neck is too tight.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Fred Coury
4 Attachment(s)
Fred Coury ~ The drummer for glam rock band "Cinderella". He is a solid rock groover, hard hit style, that always plays with taste and class. Session drummer for many, many artists. He began to play the violin, then moved to the trumpet and finally to play the drums.
His inspirations are: Neil Peart - Bobby Blotzer - Tommy Lee - Peter Criss - Tommy Aldridge.
Remember - his drumming - on those Cinderella albums! - Night Songs, Long Cold Winter, Heartbreak Station.
Re: Fred Coury
If you check the "album notes" to Night Songs, all drum tracks were Jody Cortez. Long Cold Winter drum duties were shared by Cozy Powell and Denny Carmassi. Producer Andy Johns didn't want to use Coury in the studio, is the story I remember hearing and/or reading, back in 1986 and 1988.
Re: Fred Coury
Jody Cortez, Jim Drnec, Joseph Starns, Cozy Powell, Denny Carmassi...were excellent additional, session drummers but Coury was credited for the job in Cinderella. On the other hand, Kenny Aronoff is the full-blown drummer for Still Climbing album, except for the song Hot And Bothered performed by Fred Coury.
Check: http://www.fredcoury.com/
Appreciate your input - harryconway - it makes this whole thread interesting.
Re: Fred Coury
Re: Fred Coury
And then, yes, the producer kicked him off the 2nd album and replaced him.
If I recall, Cozy Powell wrote to Modern Drummer to clarify which songs he played one, and mentioned he didn't know why Fred had been kicked off the album, as he (Cozy) just played all the same parts that Fred had already recorded. But then again, maybe Cozy was just being nice. Who knows.
Although I just noticed on Fred's website he still has himself as the drummer on those two albums. Kind of odd.
Re: Fred Coury
Indeed, you hear "lots of stuff" in Rock 'n' Roll. Far as I know, Heartbreak Station was the only Cinderella album (of the first 4) he drummed on. In 1993, he was on Arcade's album (Stephen Pearcy - former Ratt vocalist).
Re: Fred Coury
Show business is something else, isn't it - fellows?
Re: Fred Coury
Believe it or not, be my guest and check: http://www.fredcoury.com/credits.html
Re: Fred Coury
I like his stuff. I have his drum vid put out by Carmine Appice through "Power Rock".
He talked about the Andy Johns thing on the vid too. He does some pretty cool things on it. It's entertaining.
Said that even though Johns didn't want to use him, they were cool, no problems.
So it must have been some learning experience--and I remember reading the comments of Cozy too.
Yes, show business is something else alright.

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
Get up to speed quickly with the new features in After Effects CS6. Join veteran After Effects user Chris Meyer as he explores the key enhancements to this industry standard visual effects and motion graphics software. Chris shares creative ideas and important production advice while covering the strengths of features such as memory optimization with the new global performance cache, 3D motion tracking with the 3D Camera Tracker, and the new 3D rendering engine for ray-traced 3D rendering.
In the previous movie, we discussed updates to the RAM cache in After Effects. Now let's discuss updates to the disk cache. It's now referred to as a Persistent Disk Cache, and I'll show you why. First off, let's see where it is. I'll go to my Preferences > Media & Disk Cache, and as before, After Effects keeps two different cache files. One is the Conformed Media Cache. Some formats, such as MPEG, need to be decoded and saved in a cache file for After Effects to use them. The nicest thing about the Conform Media Cache is some other programs, such as Adobe Media Encoder and Premiere Pro, can also share this cache and use previously cached files.
You can clean the database, the pointers to this cache, but you need to go manually empty it if you want to get rid of old cached files. Separate from that is the disk cache. This is where After Effects stores previously calculated frames that no longer reside inside RAM. You can set your disk cache size, choose where to place it, and indeed empty it out from this preference. You'll notice there is a little comment: "For improved performance choose the cache folder on a fast drive separate from your footage." That's to speed up the performance of retrieving previously stored frames from this disk cache.
And in general, Adobe recommends that you have multiple drives, one for your sources, one for your cache, one for your renders, so that your drive isn't thrashing, seeking between the location of all these different files. This has become even more important for After Effects CS6 because it really takes advantage of this disk cache, and that's why one of the performance tips for After Effects CS6 is to buy a really fast drive, like a solid-state drive, and dedicate that just to your cache and maybe your operating system. It will really speed up operation. Anyway, I've been working in this project, I have a couple of compositions queued up in RAM, but now I decide that I'm finished for the day.
I am going to quit After Effects. It's going to give me a chance to save this project. Again, I open up a CS5 project. I need to save to the new CS6 format. I am going to put it in a separate folder and call it CMG5 Chapter 1CS6, and After Effects will quit. Now I come back the next day and want to work in the same project, so I'll boot After Effects CS6. In general, booting seems to be a little bit faster in this release than prior releases.
And I'll say let's go reopen that old project. But when I do so, notice this blue line above my Timeline. Whereas green is the RAM cache, blue indicates frames saved to your disk cache. And when I quit After Effects, what it did was took all of my RAM-cached frames and saved them to my disk cache. That way, when I come back to this project later on, I don't need to recalculate all of these frames. These layers have already been composited and saved to disk. So now when I do a RAM Preview, all it needs to do is load from that disk cache into RAM, which happens somewhat quickly.
This is why they recommend you have a very fast drive for your cache, such as an SSD. This would load that much faster if I had a faster drive. And I'm done. I'll go back to my other composition and you'll see that its previously cached frames have also been saved to the disk cache. There are some gaps here. After Effects does make a calculation: would it be faster for me just to retrieve the original frame from disk, or to save it and retrieve it from a disk cache? When I don't have a lot going on, there is no real benefit to the disk cache.
When I have several layers composited, there is an advantage to caching those frames off to the disk drive. Now I want to point out that this is not just your most recent project. Let's open up another project I was working on earlier. This project has some particularly render-intensive compositions, which I previously RAM Previewed. I also chose this project because it gives me a chance to show you a couple of gotchas in After Effects CS6. Some things are no longer included in CS6. The Digieffects FreeForm After Effects plug-in is no longer bundled free. Also, Photoshop 3D layers are no longer supported in After Effects CS6.
If you really relied on those, that'd be a reason why you want to keep an older version installed on your computer. Anyway, I'll click OK, and I see from these blue lines that After Effects took all of these compositions that I had previously RAM Previewed and saved those frames off to disk. So now rather than having to wait through a very render-intensive RAM Preview, I press zero and it just quickly loads from disk into RAM, and I get near- immediate playback. In general, the After Effects team has put a lot of work into speeding up and streamlining After Effects CS6.
And one of their biggest focuses has been this area of RAM and disk caching. It's not something that's really sexy where you see something new onscreen, but I think you can see how it would save you a lot of time during the course of a real project.

This is a great place to go on a date, with friends, or alone. I've been on countless dates here, taken almost all of my close friends, and sat there whenever I wanted to study or listen to music or draw, while drinking great tea. There are so many different teas and ABSOLUTELY delicious vegan pastries that I don't see why anyone wouldn't at least want to try it.
Posted by tookietookie on 09/22/2006
Yah. Pretty cheesy title but it got your attention. I really loved the tea. It was a new experience to me though I felt out of place. I loved the layout & all. The bathroom actually smelled nice! A big *gasp* to a few restaurants. The waitress would not stop touching the chair infront of me. Was she trying to keep the place in order? I don't know. I love the little flowers on the wall. I love that it's like a little nook outside. I think it's adorable. It's higly recommended. I will go back. They accept only cash.
Posted by a LES resident on 09/18/2006
I went to teany really excited to try everything out. I love tea and the fact that their menu was vegan really excited me! While the tea was good, the place is quite small and always crowded (we were literally elbow to elbow with the table next to us) My friend ordered a salad that was in the 10-12 $ range and it was a real dissapointment, my chai was very water down and the vegan muffin I had was overly dry. Our meal was quite expensive for the quality of food, next time I think I'll look elsewhere for vegan goods and just pick up my tea (to go) and take it home to brew.
Posted by Anonymous on 09/13/2006
I have always been a devout meat eater until my wife started to educate me on vegetarianism. She brought me to teany, i ordered the non turkey club and loved it! Everything was so refreshing. I had a tea cooler and we ordered a vegan sticky bun for desert and it was better than cinnabuns!(sp?) you know, at the mall. I wish I knew about Teany sooner, Im addicted,like 3 times a week!
Posted by Nicole on 08/27/2006
I used to crave Teany's tofu cheesecake- they used to offer it in several varieties. Now they only offer a berry cheesecake and it does not taste as good as it used to (the crust has an odd texture- the kind that gives vegan desserts a bad rep). The strawberry shortcake that people have raved about tastes is super sweet and the cake itself is dry. The tea is still excellent (lychee and almond are my favorites). The servers have always been friendly but often I am ignored for upwards of 25 minutes (I've even seen many people leave out of frustration), getting the check is usually a hassle and more than once people who have come in after me have been taken before I am. Not to mention they took my favorite sandwich off the menu (olives and veggies on ciabatta). I no longer go out of my way to visit but if you are in the area and there is no wait it still is worth it for the tea. I sincerely hope that they hire more staff and improve the menu because Teany used to be one of my favorite spots in the city.
Posted by teanyy on 08/15/2006
Teany returned to their old menu...sangrias and unchicken salad. enough said!
Posted by former teany addict on 06/25/2006
To the reviewer who said that they didn't used to have alcohol: teany used to have alcohol before they chopped their menu, and in fact used to offer a greater selection of it... personally, i really miss their white sangria on top of everything else they lost. :-(

Clean up your entryway with a shoe storage bench
Is tripping over a pile of shoes on upon entering your home a regular scenario? Are you fed up of having to cautiously weave your way inside every day? Then a shoe storage bench is a good idea as you can keep shoes organized and out of the way. It is surely a sensible way to have an uncluttered entryway. Take a look at some tidy little storage benches to suit your needs:
Cedar shoe rack
Cedar wood has a natural and pleasing aroma. Cedar shoe racks can keep away unpleasant and musty odors and repel insects. Open racks that are custom-made to suit your requirements are ideal to hold more than a dozen pairs of shoes. A two or three tiered rack can store more pairs. Red cedar wood racks look good and have a smooth finish and don't require staining, sealing or painting.
Shoe storage bench
This can double as a place to store your shoes and a place to sit on while you put on or remove shoes. The top can be upholstered for comfort. The dividers in the bench are a good way to keep several pairs of shoes organized. An attractive piece like the Viviana shoe bench or the Victoriana shoe storage bench has recessed borders and outer frame of hand-carved florals that will look decorative in your entryway. They look good even placed in the mudroom or utility room.
Drawer storage bench
These are convenient when kept in the entryway to store shoes and offer seating. And the cubby compartments or drawers can also be used to keep mittens, hats and other accessories handy and out of sight. The Coaster Company Benches collection have easy open and closures that are easy for kids and older people to handle.

We're still trying to adjust and sleep when we can. However, when we are ready for visitors, keep these things in mind: Most importantly, […] [Read More]

The Midwest has lost more than 2,100 public schools in recent years as school districts hammered by population loss scrambled to shift students and save money.
From 2006-07 to 2010-11, the region saw a net loss of 2,110 K-12 schools, according to a USA TODAY analysis of U.S. Department of Education data. The rest of the nation had a net gain of 965, largely from growth in the West.
The closings — which often see students moved to other buildings in a district — can affect home prices and businesses and often take an emotional toll on residents.
"It's like losing the soul of the community," said Terry Ryan, vice president for Ohio Programs & Policy at the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, a public policy center focused on education. "It's a painful experience."

Update: Why is the Advice on Food Allergies so Confusing?
Mason's been eating solids for about five months now and at 10-months-old he's just starting, somewhat grudgingly, to get into finger foods. He's also at the point where he can try lots of new things, however, I find the expert studies on when to introduce allergenic foods such as peanuts and fish to babies to be totally confusing.
And there's lots out there to be confused about. For starters, nearly 6 million children (1 out of every 13 kids) has a food allergy, according to a new study. That's more kids with food allergies than ever before–and experts aren't exactly sure why. I'm gluten intolerant so I worry about my son inheriting an intolerance as well. And did I mention we both have eczema–another risk factor for developing food allergies?
Then there's the study that came out last week. Despite the rise in food allergies, Holly Lebowitz Rossi reported last Friday that the Archives of Pediatric Adolescent Medicine asserts that there's less reason to worry about highly allergenic food such as cow's milk, hen's egg, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, and gluten. According to the report, feeding this stuff to your child before the age of six months is not associated with increased incidence of eczema or wheezing in either infancy or later childhood.
With all of these studies and different experts weighing in, how are moms supposed to know what to do? For answers I called my pediatrician, who is based in New York City's Gramercy Park neighborhood. "The new data is all over the map," he agreed. "But the important takeaway is to just try little bits of the more allergenic foods, like peanuts and fish, at a time. That way you won't be faced with a giant problem if there's a reaction."
Makes good sense. I'm a worrywart but I'm just going to have to dive in and follow my gut as well as Mason's lead. What about you? Do you think the studies are confusing? How do you decide when to start your babe on more allergenic foods?

I find that it's incredibly confusing for adults, so I can't imagine how hard it makes the decisions when tiny kids are involved. I think that there will always be competing studies so following your gut and Mason's lead and seeing how he reacts to small doses of things might make the most sense at this point. Good luck!

I'm totally confused by it too. And a little scared. We're still waiting for a good time to introduce shellfish, since my family has a history of allergies. To make matters worse, my son has had hives a few times and they tell me if it is a reaction to food, it could be anything he's ingested in the past 48 hours. Now that he's 16 months & eating anything and everything, that's a long list!

It's very confusing. Then add in having a child with an allergy, and any more kids my husband and I have will now have an even higher likelihood of an allergy — and no predicting what it could be. My husband has seasonal allergies, and to cats. I have pet allergies (if there's fur, I'm allergic it seems), dust, mold, pollens (too many to list). Neither of us has any food allergies — or anyone in our families. And our daughter, who had HORRIBLE eczema starting at 4 months (before having any solids) has a Class 3 peanut allergy — anaphylactic.
All I know is I won't give any other children we have any of the top 8 foods until they are able to communicate to me they are having a reaction — if my daughter had been any younger (2.5 years when given peanut butter cookie, that she didn't eat half of) I don't think we would have caught it until it was too late. And we're still holding back on finishing introductions with her (tree nuts should be fine, according to her blood work — but it's hard to find safe ones, and I'm not ready to deal with another possible reaction!)

The classic Whale watching tour in Reykjavik is an unmissable Icelandic experience – and this tour is your best chance to observe these incredible creatures in their natural environment.
A 1,5-2 hour express whale watching tour including puffin viewing and city sightseeing of Reykjavík on a RIB boat.
A Reykjavik fishing tour that's fun for everyone. Visit the bay's best fishing grounds, get expert advice, and even keep your own catch or take it to the table – you catch it and local chefs transform it into a delicious meal.
This puffin watching tour is your chance to experience these special birds in their natural environment. A fascinating boat trip that takes you up close.
A truly special summer experience of whale watching in Iceland – observe magnificent sealife while drifting in the magical light of the midnight sun.
This tour combines two fun activities ideal for nature lovers. Before or after exploring the wonders of the whales and seabirds it is ideal to ride around on the Icelandic horse surrounded by beautiful nature all around you.
Elding Whale Watching offers the most talked-about whale watching and sea adventure tours in Iceland. With decades of experience, we provide responsible whale watching tours, year round.

We sailed with Elding on 12th December and followed two Orcas in the Bay, which was an amazing experience. The spotter was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable and the Skipper of the boat respectful of the whales. Although we got fairly close to them, he ensured we gave the Orcas plenty of space and turned off the throttle to reduce the noise level. The company also requested that visitors did not buy whale meat in the City in order to reduce the level of whaling in the area. The flotation suits, which fitted over our coats, are an absolute must as it was naturally very cold. All in all this was an incredible experience with an experienced environmentally friendly company.
We had a great time on this Northern Lights night cruise. We were lucky enough to see some good displays in the sky almost as soon as we set sail. Megan, our guide, was very well informed and great at spotting the signs of emerging displays.
The boat did pitch a little even though the sea was calm so we were glad we had accepted the free sea-sickness tablet offered at the start of the trip so that we could enjoy the journey without feeling off-colour.
A good trip as it incorporates a boat trip, possible sightings, information and a nice hot chocolate and rum drink!
I went on this boat tour with two of my friends. I live close to the harbor and on a Sunday afternoon we decided to book a tour with Elding to go whale watching since we have never gone before. When we came to the boat there was a friendly Elding staff waiting for us and welcomed us to the...

|Samantha was exactly as described & as I expected. She is a blond English lady in her late 40's. I met her in a very central city centre hotel. SHe was very polite & offered me a hot shower which i accepted. When I emerged she bagan to french kiss me before ordering me onto the bed for a massage. She then slipped off her crotchless panties and proceeded to put them on me - what a feeling as they hugged my arse and my rigid cock stood to attention. Sam then went down on me uncovered - I had to stop her after a few mins as I didnt want to cum too soon. She turned me over onto all fours and applied some nice spanking to my "pantied" arse.
Time for me then to go down oh her shaved pussy which she seemed to enjoy very much.
Then some 69 before she slipped on a rubber and cocked her arse in the air at the end of the bed. i stood on floor and slid my throbbing cock into her (surprisingly) tight quim. Slapping her arse as she encouraged me, I shoot a sticky load deep in her hole. Another shower and chat to finish. All in all very pleasant visit. recommendede if u like a mature ride with good owo.

VIDEO: Natalie Dormer on how Cressida looks in Mockingjay
Natalie Dormer has been out promoting her new film The Counselor, but has also been asked about taking on her role of Cressida in the Mockingjay movies.
In this video from CBS New York Natalie explains that taking part in Mockingjay has been a departure for her.
"In The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, it's a departure from that femme fatale…I wanted to challenge myself and people's perceptions of me."
She also revealed some info VH1′s Big Morning Buzz Live about Cressida's look in Mockingjay and whether it sticks to the description in the book.
"Cressida is meant to be an incredibly talented documentary film director who was following Katniss around. I'm just really excited about her professional skill; she's joined the rebellion out of a place called conviction, which is very interesting to me."
But what about how Cressida looks? In the book she's described as having "a shaved head tattooed with green vines."
Dormer told the Big Morning Buzz: "I haven't shaved off all my head of hair off, no." However, before fans get in a tizzy, she did remark that her look is "definitely an interesting interpretation of the reference in the book. I would like to think that people won't be disappointed with the choices that we made."

This application is a national stage of PCT/FR 98/01109 filed Jun. 2, 1998 and based upon French national applications 97.07000 of Jun. 2, 1997 and 97.10105 of Aug. 1, 1997 under the International Convention.
The present invention relates to an apparatus for neutralizing radio telephones in spaces where their use is prohibited or annoying.
At present, the number of radio telephones is becoming very large. Their automatic ringing or calls are of such a nature as to annoy the other people present in the same space or to disturb the operation of acoustic or electronic apparatuses.
By way of examples, the premises to be protected may be: aircraft, auditoria, cinemas, theaters, courtrooms, schools, hospitals, meeting rooms, conference rooms, restaurants, churches, etc.
Other spaces may be relevant, whether they be open (cemeteries, etc.) or enclosed (vehicles, trains, etc.). Protection must be affected selectively as a function of the choice of those responsible for these spaces and in compliance with the global radio telephony system.
The MOTOROLA document by Weiss and Muri, Vol. 13 of July 1991 uses a system with radio relays using different frequencies from those of the base transmitters. The Patent US WEST EP 0568824 requires special mobile telephones pre-programmed to identify the zones. Our invention does not use a system with different frequencies and is applicable to mobiles currently in service. The present invention also relates to other radio messaging apparatuses which possess a ringing tone, designated hereinbelow by the general name of radio telephones.
The present invention does not relate to mobile transmitters which could be used on an ad hoc basis for police or military purposes.
The object of the present invention is to deliberately neutralize radio telephones without the intervention of their users, by jamming or modifying the communications: reception and/or transmission.
We shall call the apparatus which is the subject of the invention a jammer even when it merely filters.
The present invention is based on a jamming apparatus having several options and levels of jamming and filtering. The principles of the invention are applicable to all analogue or digital radio telephony systems regardless of the systems or the standards: GSM, DCS, DECT, CT2, 3RP, PHP, PHS, PDC, AMPS, IS54, CDMA, UDPC, CDMA, DSSR, PCN, PCS, FPLMTS, UMTS, etc. with terrestrial or satellite transmitters.
According to a first variant, the present invention jams the reception of the call signals and of beacon paths.
The ringing of a radio telephone is triggered by the receiving of the individual code of the radio telephone via the airwaves.
The present variant uses the superposition onto these codes of an unidentifiable radio signal, on the same frequencies, thereby modifying the call codes which are no longer recognized by the destination radio telephones. The radio telephone will be regarded as inaccessible to the transmitter, and this will trigger a possible messaging. According to several variants, the jammer behaves as a transmitter with superposition on the radio signals so as to render them barely recognizable, either continuously, or intermittently, or as a filter by setting up a coded dialogue with the base stations.
This jammer must not disturb the communications in spaces which are not deliberately protected. The aim of the present invention is to restrict the volume to be jammed by adapting the power of the jamming signal as a function of the volume and of the nature of the materials of the walls of the premises to be protected, its angular coverage as well as the nature of the signals transmitted.
To restrict the jamming and its power, the present invention, according to one of its characteristics, will comprise a receiver which will make it possible to measure the power of the receptions and thus, to adapt the jamming in terms of power and nature. One variant makes it possible also to detect the response of local telephones so as to jam their signal at certain specific moments (intermittent).
In certain cases, the power may be less than 5 mW. According to another method, the jammer will detect and/or neutralize the radio telephones when passing into specific geographical sites: doors, etc. It will therefore be possible for the jammers to be active or passive depending on whether they include a receiver and a transmitter or only a transmitter for each system to be jammed.
Depending on their configurations, that will enable varied functionalities to be added to them:
switchover from ringing tone to buzzer,
storing of calls,
selective filtering of telephones according to chosen numbers, chosen sites, etc.
genuine local radio telephone switching office, able to constitute a genuine selective base station adapted to a restricted volume and for carrying out selective filtering as a function of numbers, of call type, etc. with certain analogies with current telephone switching offices.
To adapt the protection to large volumes or to volumes of any shapes, the combining of several apparatuses will be envisaged, likewise for the various standards. The radio telephone becomes operational again once it leaves the protected space, without intervention by the owner.
Messages will be displayed so as to forewarn the user of calls during his presence in jammed zones (option). In practice, a display will be able to forewarn of the protection of the premises on entry thereto and on exit therefrom.
Specifically, when the mobile telephone is used for important or urgent communications, the users must be forewarned and act under their responsibility. Several levels of jamming are envisaged: blocking of reception and/or blocking of transmission, depending on the choice of those responsible for the volumes to be protected.
The hardware which is the subject of the present invention thus consists, at least, of a housing containing a high-frequency transmitter (480,900,1800 Mhz . . . ranges depending on the standards used in the relevant country) with adjustment in terms of power and angular direction.
The transmission of the jamming signal is performed by scanning the frequency ranges used by the radio telephones. According to a first characteristic, the hardware which is the subject of the invention sends a unique periodic signal with frequencies corresponding to the receptions of the radio telephones. For the GSM900 system, for example, the jamming signal will consist of signals transmitted on the frequencies of the beacon paths for the site.
For all the other radio telephony systems present in the same premises, various frequencies will be used. It can also be transmitted on the search channel PCH more selectively, after detecting its frequencies. The call code is modified by this electromagnetic noise, the triggering of ringing does not occur.

FIGS. 1 and 2 show a simple jamming housing with a directional antenna making it possible to transmit and/or receive at an angle determined in terms of volume. The angle of coverage is adjusted physically by orientation with respect to the volume to be protected. The power is adjusted by a potentiometer or automatically as a function of the level received.
The power is adjusted as a function of the volume and of the nature of the walls.
FIG. 3 shows the coverage and regulation obtained by a jammer housing which contains in addition a receiver which, among other things, receives the echo of its own jamming signals.
FIG. 4 shows the principle of electronic comparison of transmission by comparison with the echo obtained via a passive reflector, situated on the opposite side of the volume.
The power of the echo will be compared with that of the communications received so as to allow the jammer to adjust its power.
The angle and the power can therefore be adjusted and held continuously by continuous comparison between the signals transmitted and received.
This improvement can be envisaged in order to obtain just the necessary coverage without jamming the exterior of the volume to be protected.
FIG. 5 shows the configuration of a jammer with a directional antenna making it possible to detect the mobiles to be neutralized and a nondirectional antenna for receiving or transmitting with the base stations. The detecting of the mobiles which will become active makes it possible to restrict the transmissions over time. The jammer can intervene at the start of the communication procedure during the phase in which the data exchanges are not yet enciphered (encrypted). Its intervention on the signalling channels is aided by the absence of frequency hops.
FIG. 6 shows the coverage in terms of detection (e) and in terms of response (r) such as to localize to the greatest possible extent over time and in space the transmission of signals, by the apparatus which is the subject of the invention.
FIG. 7 is a diagram of the functions of the apparatus in the simplest case of continuous jamming.
According to another characteristic, the hardware which is the subject of the invention, while using the same means for limiting the volume to be protected as previously, possesses a directional receiving and transmitting antenna which picks up, continuously and in a manner which is localized in terms of angle, the signals transmitted by the radio telephones present within this angle and transmits in a localized manner within the same angle a neutralization code. An improvement to this hardware consists in storing the types of codes to which it must respond selectively (in transmit and in receive mode) by comparing with data loaded into its memory or transmitted by the stations.
One variant consists in localizing the operation at a specified geographical passageway (door, entrance, etc.).
More complete integration is possible with the global network and operators by setting up a direct communication between the jammer and the base station or stations by radio signalling of the neutralization operations.
FIG. 8 shows the diagram of the functions fulfilled by the apparatus in this version.
In one very complete form of the apparatus, the present jammer can constitute a genuine local and selective radio telephone switching office, with a greater or lesser degree of integration with the exterior global system.
FIGS. 9 to 16 represent certain variants of the elaborate forms of the apparatus which is the subject of the invention.
The main problem is to avoid to the greatest possible extent radioelectgric pollution outside the space (open or closed) to be protected or to improve selectivity of detection. This problem is solved by the following combinations:
1. restrictions in space by:
directivity of the jamming transmitted
choosing an angle of transmission close to the vertical and a different phase angle
minimum distance between the jammer and the mobile so as to use minimum power with a rapid 1/d2 decay (radiating cables or distributed sensors).
self-regulating of the power of the jamming
2. restrictions in time by:
transmitting signals only in the event of detecting a mobile which is transmitting in the volume, before ringing or before communicating (AB on RACH for example).
3. restrictions in the jamming information:
minimum and "harmless" jamming signals, avoiding transmissions on the traffic and communication channels.
selectivity related to the type of subscription or to the type of use (for example, the 112, emergency call in France, must get through).
via synchronization dialogue with the stations and their software.
The risk of pollution becomes zero if the jammer transmits a coded signal only to the base station.
The restrictions in time are obtained by transmitting only when a mobile of the volume will recommence communicating, as an incoming or outgoing call.
Examples of configurations and operation:
1 JAMMER apparatus (BR), transmitter/receiver comprising:
1 adjustable directional antenna of the following types: parabola (d in FIG. 9), Yagi (y in FIG. 10), dihedral (d in FIG. 12), radiating cable (c, FIG. 13), panels, sectorial antennas etc. Proximity is achieved by distributing several antennas (FIG. 11, FIG. 14) and the use of:
radiating cable (FIG. 16) constructed from coaxial cable with partial periodic interruption of the outer conductor (a few cm every 2 m for example).
housings (FIG. 15) comprising a radiating element (e) and a concave reflecting surface (r), which are distributed (FIG. 14) within the volume to be protected and are connected to the jammer (BR).
The connection can, as a variant, use the existing electrical cables, with possibly different frequencies and installation of filter (F) for isolation from the exterior.
These directional and/or close antennas make it possible to detect the relevant mobiles and to transmit in a localized manner.
1 "whip" antenna of conventional models (if in FIGS. 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14).
This horizontally nondirectional antenna makes it possible to receive the station or stations, to regulate the power of the jammer, to transmit to the station and to accomplish a role of relay within the station.
Variants with more than two antennas (y,g,f) (for separating the transmission and reception functions or for adapting to the various networks, for example) are possible (FIG. 10)
This does not change the principles of the invention.
examples of operation with regard to the signals:
detection of a mobile with incoming call by detecting an AB on RACH (signal of the presence of the mobile on the channel for access to the station).
jamming of the mobile by transmitting one or more jamming bits on PCH (channel for calling the mobiles from the station)
response of the jammer to the station (signal to be defined with the operators), for complete or selective filtering. (clean dialogue with the stations).
detection of an outgoing call (transmitted by the mobile): CR on RACH (request for channel by the mobile on the channel for access to the station)
jamming of mobiles by transmission of a "false" local BCCH and no connection (BCCH: fixed identification channel transmitted by the stations)
filtering by operating the jammer as a retransmitter or substation.
The choices of the solutions adopted will have to be made with the radio telephony operators in order as far as possible to eliminate undesirable interventions in respect of the global network.
ADAPTIONS of mobiles and premises:
(see patent FR 9708546 of Jan. 7, 1997)
for urgent or preferential links (doctors, etc.), a minimum service will be ensured even if a jamming signal is detected.
adaptation for detection at geographical entrances/exits to premises.
creation of booths or unjammed connections.
LINKS with stations:
adaptations of station software so as to manage selective filterings in conjunction with the jammers, with various classes of priority subscriptions.
the jammer is identified by the networks and becomes a component, possibly with a subscription and traffic billing.

How Google affects your memory
July 15th 2011 19:57
Not so long ago, if you woke up in the middle of the night, driven crazy by not being able to remember the name of the shortstop on the 1986 Mets, or the title of Kevin Bacons first movie or the year Toni Basils Mickey hit the Billboard charts, you were out of luck until you could call a friend or hit the library.
But thanks to Google, IMDB and other search engines and databases, most people can now access that information very quickly without even getting out of bed, if you keep your smartphone on your night table. (In case your own phone is out of reach: Rafael Santana, Animal House, and 1982.)
In a paper published online by the journal Science, Columbia University psychologist Betsy Sparrow and colleagues report that a series of experiments suggest the ubiquity of all this online data means the way we remember things has actually changed. Much as weve gotten used to relying on friends, family and colleagues to know things for us (why bother to learn the subway route to your mother-in-laws house if your husband already knows where to transfer?), we may be unconsciously outsourcing some memory functions to the collective intelligence of the internet.
The first experiment, for example, showed that if you ask people difficult trivia questions, they are more likely to subsequently quickly react to words like Google and Yahoo than the non-computer-related Nike and Yoplait. That, the authors say, suggests when we are asked about things we dont know, our first instinct is to think about finding the information online.
Other experiments showed people are more likely to remember trivia statements theyre typing into a computer if they think theyll be erased from the computers memory, and more likely to forget them if they think theyll be saved. Being explicitly told to remember the information made no difference in whether people remembered it, suggesting this process of deciding whether to remember something is unconscious, Sparrow tells the Health Blog.
Another experiment offers preliminary evidence that if were faced with information we think will be easily available in the future like the cast list from Animal House were more likely to remember where we can find it (IMDB.com) than details of the information itself.
Sparrow emphasizes that this doesnt mean that the brains ability to remember facts and figures has atrophied only that we dont access this skill as much as we used to. If someone took your cell phone away forever, youd still be able to memorize important phone numbers, she says.
Now Sparrow is interested in studying whether there are any benefits to these changes in our memory function. For example, if you read an article about the Civil War, full of facts but also broader themes, would you be more likely to remember the larger takeaway messages if you expect to be able to get the names and dates online anytime you want?
In other words, the outsourcing of memory to the internet may help us remember whats most important.

Dos Santos Wants Overeem Next 'I Want To Knock Him Out And I Want To Knock Him Out Now.' | UFC News
By Jamie McAllister
Lorenzo Fertitta confirmed that UFC Heavyweight Champion Junior Dos Santos will headline the fight card planned for Dec. 29, 2012, in Las Vegas, Nevada. However is opponent is still not confirmed Cain Velasquez spoke out earlier this week asking what the hold up was with the title shot.
UFC President Dana White broke down the situation in the media scrum following the UFC On FOX 4 Post-Fight Press Conference. White stated that the UFC Heavyweight Champion wants Alistair Overeem next.
"I sat down with Junior dos Santos yesterday, the nicest guy in the world, right? Seriously, you've all talked to him, he's the nicest guy in the world. He said, 'I have nothing but respect for Cain Velasquez, as a person and as a fighter, and I think he deserves the shot at the title, but I do not want to fight him,' which is not what he said a month ago. He said, 'Alistair Overeem is a punk, he's got a big mouth, he's been saying lots of bad things about me, and I want to knock him out and I want to knock him out now.' And I said, 'Junior, I like that. Alright.'"
White went on to say that this does not necessarily mean that the bout will be booked. However he confirmed he would seriously consider Dos Santos request as he "is a guy who's done everything we've ever asked of him, and he's never asked anything of us."
"He's my heavyweight champion. He's one of those guys who, like Frankie Edgar, is a guy who's done everything we've ever asked of him, and he's never asked anything of us, so when a guy like him comes to me and wants something, yeah, I have to consider it. I don't know, he wants the fight. I'm not saying that's what's happening, I'm just saying to you that that's what he's saying. He's saying that he wants this fight, [dos Santos' management was] blowing me up saying they wanted to meet with me, we went to lunch yesterday and he just went off on what a punk he thinks Alistair Overeem is and how bad he wants to knock him out."

Oh man, I can't imagine a pissed of Dos Santos, RIP Overeem.
Being angry doesn't improve someone's chances of winning. If anything, just the opposite. That said, assuming that Dos Santos is not being misquoted, I agree with his opinion of Overeem.
When a boxer gets mad it increases a chance of a knockout by 100%
rofl love the %
bollocks though
Being angry doesnt improve someones chances of winning?? You are wrong to a certain degree.. Being angry motivates a person more than being a happy.. I knocked out a ton of ppl of anger so what you are saying applies to you only
Actually when your angry, or make any irrational decision due to emotion, your chances of winning go down. In a sport like this, where there is no room for error, getting too angry can and will cost you. Whether your talking in the ring or out of it I highly doubt you've faced anyone the caliber of Overeem of JDS. Now, with that said, Anger, if used correctly, can be an amazing thing. As long as you control it and you don't allow it to control you. Emotions are a bad thing, specially in any sort of combat.
The Reem fuckd up now lol
It's not only what Dos Santos wants. It's also the fight the FANS want to see. Ya know, Dana, the ones who have made you rich beyond your wildest dreams. The ones who drop $60 a PPV to see great fights. The ones that still stick around despite the string of recent overhyped, lackluster fights. Without us, there is no UFC. If you don't put your ear to the ground, you'll never hear the buffalo coming.
But personally, i would like to see a Velasquez rematch too. I was bummed out when Alistair got suspended and they brought in Mir. It didn't even look like Mir tried in that fight, and Cain has earned his shot. Sure, Alistair is on a tear, but he beat a Brock Lesnar that didn't want to be in there anyway. I think they should give the shot to Cain first. Then Overeem.
thurgood couldnt of said it better myself, sad the fights for free on fox where better then the last 5 ppv's. Witch sucks for new fans getting all excited for the free ones and then buy the $60PPV. kinda like see Adam Sadler movie previews, then wasting your money on the real thing at the theater.
Overroid ran his mouth to to get an undeserving main event, title fight payday. Meanwhile Cain Velasquez gets jacked off on by the UFC brass.
No respect for Overeem anymore. Always been a Junior fan. He will kick Overeems ass. I would love to see it to. Hat's off to a clean champion…go Junior
Be careful what you wish for JDS… be real careful!
I'm a big JDS fan and supporter but The Reem will
demolish him. I respect JDS for asking for that fight
but this is gonna end bad for him.
I believe JDS realizes the fight with The Reem is a
much bigger pay day (especially his PPV check) and
that's his main motivation to want to go this route.
He wants to make sure that fight HAPPENS and he
gets that check cause he's not sure if he'll be champ
after a rematch with that BEAST called CAIN. I'm not
saying he's scared! I'm just saying he realizes that it's
a 50/50 chance that CAIN will take him out. Meaning
the "BIG" fight, with Overeem wouldn't happen anytime
soon and "IF" it does, probably not a championship fight.
So moneywise, waiting for THE REEM is smart! for his health
You're an idiot. JDS has a great chance against reem and will probably come in as the a slight favorite on the betting lines. Reem will get every drug test known to man leading up to and after this fight. Let's not forget reem was actually out struck by werdum in their last meeting. JDS takes this late 2nd early 3rd after reem gasses
JDS is getting knocked the fuck out….i put 10 houses on that. You keep on dreaming and suck JDS anus. JDS is for real, no doubt about that but he aint beating The Reem period!
JDS wins this via easy KO 1st round. Let's hope Overeem survives this.
Dude you need to get a grip. I like Cain but JDS blasted him. Overeem is going to be a juice head without the juice. JDS blasts him out in 2
u stupid
You must have never seen the many fights in which overeem got knocked the fuck out……
Thank u……JDS will smash that glass jaw.jds will lay him out like my boy chuck did at the pride grand prix or like shogun did-a crucial beat down.Lol
Stop sucking JDS anus and look at the FACTS.
Yes when he was dehydrated and weak in lower weightclasses he got knocked out a couple of times!
He has never been knocked out at HW and that's for a reason. If he really had a glass jaw one of the HW's he fought would've knocked him out by now. Needless to say they punch a lot harder than most guys in the lower weightclasses. Thats why The Reem is unbeaten at HW, he's now at healthy. The minute he went up to his natural weightclass, he started demolishing EVERY fucking body. JDS will become just another statistic!
Alright bro…but who did he smash at heavyweight Brett Rogers,Todd duffe,Brock,gimmie a break….look hes a very talented fighter everybody knows that's.but he hasent fought the best in the world yet and when he does he will get smashed,mark my words.werdum don't count my man that fight cured my insomnia.
Overeem got ko'd in his heavyweight debut
Fucking idiots I swear.
JDS, is going to use his speed, footwork and cardio along with that great technique and power to take overeem out, JDS has an iron chin watch the carwin fight if you forget the shot that JDS had taken in the second round. Overeem knows he doesn't have a solid chin thats why he doesnt throw combo's only single strikes, he doesn't use kicks very often just knees and Jds straight right is going to find a home on overeems chin, i'm guessing a 2nd round tko.
@ kenshiro. Are you kidding? You got too many Cain posters on your wall homey. Cain is a good fighter, and will probably put up a better fight against JDS than his last… BUT, JDS has already crossed that bridge with Cain and he and passed it, easily. The REEM was next but we all know what happened. That's the one challenger JDS wants and needs to fight at this point in time. Otherwise it turns into the LHW Division where all the fighters Bones Jones has beaten all want a re-match. Lets give everyone one turn each before we start watching re-runs.
Jr is gettin vocal! I was crushed when this fight got scrapped the first time.. Junior is in a lot of trouble tho in this matchup. He does have amazing boxing skills, especially for MMA. But Overeem has fought, and KO'd the BEST strikers in the world @ K1..IDK how this fight will go down, but i know that Junior would not have had the same success Reem did in K1, Tyrone Spong, Badr Hari, and Semmy Schilt would Ko junior.. Although Reem lost the rematch with Hari and never fought Schilt, Reem has better standup than Junior does, and has better sub skills.. So Junior is gonna need that nuclear bomb to retain the belt
K-1 is a totally different kind of striking. For starters they are wearing 12 ounce gloves and there is no real prolonged clinch work.
Exactly, so imagine how it feels to get hit by Overeem with a 4 oz glove instead of a 12 ounce glove.. He can swing faster and with not so much padding.. And what K-1 helped for Overeem is he is well rounded stand up.. The last person JDS fought with remotely great kickboxing skills was Cro cop and he was well out of his prime..
yeah i know theres a difference, but the point was that i dont think Junior would have the same success if he entered in a K1 grand prix.. But its MMA and a lot more unpredicatble than K1 especially when two strikers as dangerous as these guys are.. But Alistairs striking is better, his knees are and kicks are just as dangerous as Jr's boxing
I was going off what tapout21 said about 12 ounce gloves.. Overeem carries so much power and u add the speed that he has with lighter gloves, he is more likely to KO you than with the 12 ounce gloves.. Also not to add he has powerful kicks and knees plus he has great takedown defense.. Im a fan of both guys but I think JDS's boxing isnt going to be enough against Overeem's striking! JDS is going to have a hard time unless he can counter with some powerful shots.. But Overeem has been KO'd so JDS could tag him and put him away! This is why this is a better match up then Cain fight..
Maybe It's going to be JDS-Overeem at the end of this year! A new years eve event maybe?
its ok man we are all gonna die December 21st anyway so we dont get to see this fight ROFL
This is a bigger fight for JDS and the UFC! Why do u think Dana comments on how JDS has always done what the UFC asked and cant ignore what JDS asked for.. And also said he will talk to Cain.. That conversation is going to be "hey, we want to put on JDS vs. Overeem right now, sorry u will be next".. Maybe even throw in some kind of dollar signs too.. Who knows but i have a feeling UFC is going to get involved with Overeem and the commission to get his suspension reduced to put this fight on..
The thing thats so great about this fight is it can go either way. Both have outstanding knockout power and can finish a fight with one punch. We have already seen Cain get knocked the fuck out in the first round, it is someone elses turn. I have been a big JDS fan since his first fight in the UFC, and im confident his striking will best that of Overeems. However JDS needs to calm down not get to hyped up and make a critical error that will cost him his belt.
If he beats Overeem the only fight left for him is possibly Cormier minus a Velasquez rematch.
What if Cormier loses to Mir in their Strikeforce bout? Wouldn't that possibly hurt Cormier's position in the UFC cross-over? If he does lost to Mir in Strikeforce, then i don't see him getting an immediate title-shot. Besides, if Cain beats JDS, Cormier has stated he won't fight Cain. I feel Cormier will drop to LHW. He would do well there.
No matter what Cormier is crossing over to the UFC after that fight Dana has made that clear. Good thing we won't have to worry about any of that though cause DC will knock Mir out CLEAN!
Whenever these 2 fight I don't think the it will last more then a few minutes into the first round and I've got my money on the very fast and powerful hands of JDS. Overeem's got a questionable chin and roids don't improve how well a person can take a punch, I hope we get to see this fight soon.
JDS Blasts him out in two. Overeem beats guys like Brock up who can't move. JDS can move. Overeems great when he is doing the hitting wait till he starts eating jabs and Right hands. Are you guys kidding when you talk about how much power Overeem has like JDS doesn't. Your going to see JDS ffeds him jabs, combos, and movement. Juicer is going down.
Overeem is aint shit. Cain would knock him out
I highly doubt that.
Well I'm saying it now, its 50/50. The Reem is a k-1 chmpion. Dos Santos may not be able to deal with those strikes, but on the other hand JDS used to train with blackhouse mma and he shows it with his high skills in boxing and jiu jitsu. I believe if Reem wins it will be in the late2nd early 3rd. if JDS wins it will be 2nd round tko.I think overeem would try to wrestle, but he usually avoids the ground with jiu jitsu guys. regardless i like both of them and its going to be big like Anderson vs Sonnen 2.
Overeem is the more complete striker. JDS has better and faster footwork combined with serious KO power in both hands.
If JDS manages to keep his distance and let his hands go I think he has a big chance to knock Overeem out. Overeem will want to take away his fast footwork using legkicks. So JDS needs to check the legkicks, something he doesn't do well in my opinion.
If Overeem can catch him with a few leg and bodykicks, gets a chance to clinch and use those nasty knees I see this going to Overeem.
I think it's 50-50 and whoever manages to execute his gameplan best will win.
^^ Agreed good call
The kicks will def. be a factor. Overeems kicks are VICIOUS, I can't help to see this go anyway else than exactly the way the Lesnar/Reem fight went. Sure JDS has MUCH better striking (well boxing) than Lesnar, but he doesn't have the kicks and that will make a big difference! And we all knock the Dutch Kickboxing style is the best striking base for MMA period and Overeem is a MASTER at it.
Just stop, stop talking everyone. Listen up! overeem is the k-1 champion. those guys standup are much much much better than the standup the ufc fighters have period! Overeem won k-1. Now you will say well chuck and shogun ko'ed him and you are right. but thats a shitload of time since that happened now and overeem changed his standup style completely which has done that he doesnt receive ko blows anymore. Yeah overeem has ofc been on steroids otherwise you dont get that physic and I think we can all agree on that and I am curious how he will do without his steroids. Anyway if overeem fights like he always does his standup is going to be better than jds and jds will get ko'ed I am sorry. jds is great but he is the underdog if the fight stays standing and people who know something about mma and other organisations besides ufc would tell you the same. But maybe he will perform badly without his peds who really knows. But no matter whats its gonna be a fight for the ages matchup wise
Becareful for what you wish for. You might just get it.
all jds has is his boxing while the reem had knees head kicks leg kicks a great guillotine. the only way i see jds winning is if he gets another shot like he did against valasquez
oh give me a break on this overeem being a legit striker bs. alistair hasnt outstruck a single credible striker in a mma fight. the truth is the big gloves in k1 helped alistair drastically in k1. in a mma fight alistair doenst have those big gloves to hide his glass chin behind him. u guys gotta be crazy to think reem has the speed, skills, or cardio to fuck with jds. not to mention werdum outstruck reem. with the improvements werdum has made in the past year, im willing to bet werdum would tko reem if they were to fight again. imo, cain, werdum, carwin, nelson, cormier, jds, etc would all knock alistair the fuck out before round 3.
one right hand night night 'reem I laughed when he said JDS was scared Reems got jokes
i say the winner of Cain vs Overeem then fight JDS not really a cain fan but whats fair is fair cain has already fought JDS and i know he suposely had knee problems before that fight but with Overeems P.E.D. scandal its not fair he fights for the belt his first fight back plus UFC could use this fight to really premote the championship fight with JDS
