A little over a year ago, we were contacted by the guys of Krochet Kids International, a group of friends (mostly men!) who have taken their love of crochet and used it to help fight poverty in Uganda.
They teach women in Uganda how to crochet beanies. They then sell the beanies in stores around the U.S. The women make higher wages than they normally can make locally, and are able to support their families. In addition, Stewart Ramsey, executive director of KKI, said:
KKI has recently instituted a micro-finance program for all the ladies that crochet. So while they make money for the hats they produce, they are also learning how to save, invest, and loan the money they are earning. Through this program our ladies have elected to form their own community-based organization and take loans out form one another and other village members. KKI only provides training or the initiative through a micro-finance organization for THEIR ideas. They are learning how to develop themselves and become self-sufficient, rather than KKI handing out money and creating more dependency. This is something we are very excited about.
The guys met in college and were able to combine their crochet hobby with their social conscience, creating an organization that truly touches the lives of people in Uganda. To learn more about KKI, visit their MySpace page or listen to the YarnCraft (our knitting & crochet audio-podcast) episode in which Travis and Ryan of KKI talk more about the organization.

One of the most fun parts of working here at Lion Brand is the opportunity to learn new knitting and crochet skills. Shira, who interned here in the marketing department this summer, had knit and crocheted scarves before, but wanted to expand her skills. For her first summer project, she knit her first baby blanket using the Glamour Baby's First Blanket pattern. Next, she wanted to work on her crochet skills. I recommended the Pirate Pal pattern (a favorite of mine, as podcast listeners know) as a basis for her first amigurumi project, but with a little bit of creativity, Shira really made it all her own.
Meet Gloria the Goddess!
Gloria is a a great example of how you can take really basic shapes (such as rectangles and circles) and make incredible things. Her body and bikini are made of Wool-Ease and her hair is made of two colors of Vanna's Choice. Before starting her amigurumi person, Shira had asked me to teach her to crochet circles. She took her practice crochet circles and turned them into a bikini, sewing them to Gloria's body and adding "straps" using strands of yarn. She made rectangles for the front and back of Gloria's string bikini and attached them in the same way. Shira then attached yarn to Gloria's head for hair, much like you would add fringe, and unraveled each strand so that Gloria would have kinked hair. We embroidered on the eyes and mouth with a little bit of leftover yarn, and Shira found the little sunglasses that finish off Gloria's look sometime later. With just these few basic skills, Shira created an amigurumi that's totally original!
Shira's heading back to college, but we want to thank her for sharing this AMAZING project with us.

The response to this crochet-along has knocked me over…. I'm thrilled by all the enthusiasm! And thank you so much for helping each other out too.
First things first, time to address the subject of a lot of questions: the gauge, sizing, and hook suggested in the pattern. It does seem that there has been a typo regarding the gauge and what hook to use.
In order to make this entry as useful as possible I've decided to simplify the issue and not talk too much about all the different measurements from my many gauge experiments. (You can view some of my swatches and notes in the Flickr group.) Because this is a blanket and not a fitted sweater, we have room to navigate around this typo and take advantage of the situation even. It's true, gauge is usually very important because it gives you the information you need to get the same sizing and drape as the finished product you see in the pattern.
The best thing I've seen come out of the confusion over the gauge is how many of you decided to follow your gut and choose the hook and gauge that best suits you. I think this is fantastic! You see, I need a lightweight blanket because I live in a warm climate and someone in a colder climate needs something thicker. So I'll use a larger hook and she'll use a smaller one and we'll each crochet the fabric that fits our own needs. I think that is the best thing any of our blankets can have in common, that each individual blanket is "just right" for the person it will keep cozy.
Yes, folks, I'm all moved and excited about this potential army of blankets that each fills just the right needs for the right recipient. But we might like to take care of a few details so each of us can best plan out these "just right" blankets. See, going off-road with a pattern is far easier if you have a plan.
Follow this breakdown to plan out your blanket:
1. Find what makes the crocheted fabric you like best: Starting with Block 1, the single crochet block, swatch some rows with different hooks until you get the result that feels best for you.
My notes:
Yarn: Vanna's Choice
Hook: P (that's right! I'm actually getting a nice puffy and airy fabric with mine)
2. Work up one of each block pattern. This gives you a chance to get to know each pattern and see how well they match up to each other. You'll likely make some decisions at this point as to any changes you want to make. It is important that Blocks 1, 2, and 3 each come out to the same width and height. You can make alterations to the number of stitches in a row to increase or decrease width or change the number of rows to fix any problems with height.
Take notes, here are mine:
Honestly my attention span for a specific block wanes at a point, so I've decided to cut my row count short and I have square blocks as a result. I am sticking with the number of stitches in a given row (Block 1 has 26 and 2 &3 have 25). You may have noticed Block 1 has an extra stitch. I've noticed that this extra stitch helps make the denser single crochet block a better fit when matching it up to the other two, they have a bit more stretch in them.
My notes:
Block 1 : 25 rows compared to 33 in the pattern
Block 2 : 17 rows compared to 19 in the pattern
Block 3 : 17 rows compared to 19 in the pattern
3. Take some notes on sizing and gauge:
My notes:
Block 1 : 2 single crochet = 1", 8 single crochet = 4"
8 rows = 4"
Block 2 : 2 double crochet = 1", 8 double crochet = 4"
6 rows = 4"
Block 3 : 1 cluster = 1", 4 clusters = 4"
8 rows = 6"
Each of my Blocks is a stretchy, airy 12" x 12″. That's right, they are huge! (One of my cats thinks I've made her a bunch of little cushy square beds.) Finding the sweet spot for my attention span as well as the size and shape I want has made working up the blocks much more satisfying. You also might wish to take the finished size of your blanket into consideration when deciding on the number of stitches and rows to use in your blocks.
4. How big is my blanket going to be?
Given that I have such big blocks, I may reduce the number of blocks I'll use. If I don't my blanket will be 5 feet by 6 feet! Now that I think about it, that does sound mighty cozy…
So take a look at the blanket diagram in the pattern. The blanket is 5 blocks wide and 6 blocks tall.
Estimating the size of your blanket:
Width of a block ____ inches x 6 blocks wide = ____ inches wide (this is excluding any borders you might choose to add).
Height of a block ____ inches x 5 blocks tall = ____ inches tall.
If you want your blanket to be a different size, you can choose to add to the height or the width of the blanket with some more blocks.
5. How much yarn will I need?
My lazy method: I've assigned a skein of yarn to each block. I marked the label with "Block 1", "Block 2", "Block 3". When I've used up a skein I'll have an approximate idea as to how many of each type of block I'll get out of a skein. I can then estimate how many more skeins to get.
The smarter method (I haven't done this myself for this project yet, but here's what you can do): Unravel a row or two of yarn and measure how much yarn was used. Then multiply by number of rows in your block and you've got a total for a block:
Estimating Yarn Needed:
Block 1: 1 row = _____ inches/ feet of yarn
Block 2 : 2 rows (1 row of dc and 1of sc) = _____ inches/ feet of yarn
Block 3: 2 rows (1 row of cluster and 1 of sc) = _____ inches/ feet of yarn
There's still more to talk about, I know! I hope concentrating on this gauge issue has helped sort out any concerns, but most importantly I hope you all feel inspired to crochet the blanket that is "just right" for you!

Having a great workspace can make knitting, crocheting, and crafting more enjoyable. In episode 22 of the YarnCraft audio-podcast, we asked listeners to tell us about their crafting spaces and their ideal yarncrafting sanctuary. What is your ideal workspace like?
Here are some tips from the episode, that will help you whip your space into shape:
1. What's good for your body is good for your creativity. A good workspace has seating that allows you to put your feet flat on the ground and provides good support for your back and arms. Having a table to lean against if you need it, or just to keep your tools on, keeps everything within reach and keeps you from straining your arms.
2. Lighting makes a difference. Finding a sunny perch can brighten your mood. Good lighting can even make it easier to match your yarn colors. If you do a lot of crafting, it's worthwhile to invest in good lighting that will not strain your eyes — many companies now produce lamps and light-bulbs that produce light more similar to the spectrum of sunlight.
3. When everything's easy to find, you get more done. Plastic bins or rolling drawers can help you stay organized. Creating a system, even one as simple as putting yarn into zipper bags and labeling them, can make you feel less stressed when you're working on a project. Don't forget to keep your hooks, needles, stitch markers, and other tools organized — office organizers or jewelry trays often do the trick nicely.
4. Keep on-the-go projects by the door. Are you one of the hundreds of thousands of yarncrafters who likes to knit or crochet on the go? Keep your travel projects (along with an extra copy of the pattern, as well as any extra tools you might need) in dedicated tote bags that are right near your door, so you can just grab it and go. When you get home, put it back in its place, ready to be taken with you the next time.
5. Treat your space like a sanctuary. In this episode, we talk about how to make your crafting space an creative sanctuary, whether that's by using inspiration boards or if it's overlooking a lake. Add a little beauty to your space by creating yarn vignettes — I have vases of various shapes and sizes, some filled with balls of leftover yarn, others with hooks and needles.

NC university leaders to name UNC Chapel Hill head
The North Carolina public university governing board said Wednesday it is ready to name the new leader for the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
The UNC Board of Governors scheduled a special meeting Friday to elect a chancellor for the country's oldest public university. A 21-member university search committee has been working since October with a higher-education headhunter to find the right replacement for Holden Thorp, who announced last fall he would leave in June.
Thorp decided to resign after two years of scandals involving academic fraud, improper travel spending by fundraisers, special treatment for athletes, and allegations that campus sexual assaults weren't fully reported. He is leaving his undergraduate alma mater after four years as UNC-Chapel Hill's chancellor to become the chief academic officer of Washington University in St. Louis.
Thorp is credited with boosting private donations and pushing UNC-Chapel Hill into the top 10 universities in the country in landing federal research money.
Tom Ross, president of the 17-campus state university system, said last fall the search panel should look for candidates anywhere in the world, and consider those in academia as well as business and other fields. The committee was to narrow down the candidates to three finalists whom Ross would interview, then recommend one to the university system's Board of Governors.
Top qualities UNC leaders wanted in a new chancellor for the prestigious public university were high integrity, powerful people skills, and a track record in persuading donors to contribute to the university generously.
Ross also said the next chancellor should understand that though academics must come first, intercollegiate athletics are central to the college experience and the loyalty it builds with students and neighboring communities, converting them into donors.
Athletics were at the root of several scandals that plagued Thorp's tenure, though he has had to shoulder little of the blame. It was revealed that football players accepted gifts from agents, which led to Thorp's abrupt firing of high-profile coach Butch Davis and NCAA sanctions. Further investigation of the team uncovered players benefited from no-show courses and instructors who didn't teach. The university's top fundraiser and the mother of former Tar Heels basketball star Tyler Hansbrough, also a fundraiser, resigned last fall after it was revealed they may have used donated money to pay for personal travel.
Recruiters searching for a new UNC-Chapel Hill leader were competing with other prestigious universities including Yale, Princeton, Dartmouth, Penn State, Wisconsin and Berkeley.

From Hokkaido to Hood, the Burton Fish Snowboard remains the go-to choice for surf-slashing deep, bottomless powder with effortless float and smooth edge-to-edge response. Its 30-millimeters of taper, double swallowtail shape, and S-Rocker profile allow for near unsinkable float without any hint of back leg burn whatsoever, allowing you to rider harder, faster, and more easily through the deepest powder on the planet. Plus, the Fish's modern shape features Raduction tech, allowing you to downsize 3 to 6-centimeters from what you'd normally ride on snorkel-deep days. Additionally, you'll find the double swallowtail increases acceleration and corning precision, while its reduced rear sidecut allows the tail to sink more naturally for super-smooth carving capabilities.
Inside this downsized deep-day rocket, you'll find Burton's Super Fly II core that's lightweight and highly responsive. Add in triax fiberglass and a snappy Carbon I-Beam for a board that's extremely quick and agile from edge-to-edge when you're negotiating narrow chutes and tight tree runs. Plus, the board's Sintered WFO base is extremely fast, keeping you from bogging down in waist-deep pow, especially when the terrain mellows out or goes flat at the bottom of the mountain.
- Double swallowtail shape with 30-millimeters of taper
- Raduction Level 6: downsize 3 to 6-centimeters
- S-Rocker profile (rockered nose, cambered mid-to-tail)
- Super Fly II core with Dualzone EGD
- Triax fiberglass with Carbon I-Beam
- Pro-Tip (tapered tips)
- The Channel Mounting System
- Sintered WFO base

To coincide with the launch of their flagship VMS XProtect Corporate 5, Milestone has announce an upgraded version of their client software: Smart Client 7.0.
The upgrade is a substantial one. Milestone have completely redesigned the application, improving usability across the application and making it easier to manage installations of all sizes. They have streamlined the interface to give instant access to live and recorded video along with customisation options allowing the user to tailor their viewing experience to match their working environments. Using Milestone Integration Platform also allows control over various types of security and business systems such as point-of-sale integration or video analytics, direct from the new Smart Client.
Even though Smart Client 7.0 is launched alongside XProtect Corporate 5 it can be used right now with existing versions of Milestone which already support the Smart Client.
On top of the improved design there are also a number of new features available, including:
- Bookmarking – allows you to flag video sequences and add descriptive notes, which enables better sharing of information with other users or authorities
- Virtual joystick control – previously, PTZ control was limited to a "click to centre" method of control. With Smart Client 7.0 a crosshair is superimposed at the centre of a PTZ camera and you can drag the mouse from the centre point, like a virtual joystick. Of course, actual joysticks are still supported
- Advanced export options allow for batch exporting of content across multiple formats simultaneously with the option for direct to optical storage included
- New system monitoring tools provide valuable information on system storage and performance and instant access to log files
We will take a thorough look at it as soon as we get it. You'll be able to see our evaluation on our IP Camera Learning Blog later.
In the meantime read more about XProtect Smart Client.
One Response to "Milestone release XProtect Smart Client version 7.0"
Is there a video sample of how the crosshair control the PTZ camera?
Does the software support PELCO and VISCA protocols?
How much does it cost?
Can this client software works standalone without xProtect5?

Will Christina Aguilera Collaborate With Justin Bieber? The Diva Tells All! (VIDEO)
Though the world seems to be focused on Justin Bieber's personal life these days, pop diva Christina Aguilera is more interested in the latest music coming from the 18-year-old.
On last night's American Music Awards' red carpet, Xtina stopped to chat with Extra TV, and she gushed about her new album, Lotus. But her music wasn't the only thing that had Xtina excited at the awards show.
"I'm really into a song right now called 'As Long as You Love Me,' and it's Justin Bieber's song, so I'm really looking forward to it right now," she revealed. Justin performed the tune later in the evening, and we're sure Christina was thrilled.
The interviewer went on to ask Christina about a potential collaboration with The Biebs.
"Who knows? Possibilities are endless, so we'll see!" she teased.
All of this comes months after the rumors that Christina had snubbed Justin when he performed on The Voice Season 2. But we know Christina isn't throwing shade at JB — she later responded to the rumors, tweeting, "Haha! The media loves spinning stories … can't a girl have a little #BieberFever after getting kissed by the Biebs?"
Would you like to see Xtina and The Biebs duet? Weigh in below!

Session L34: Drops XII: Elastic Surfaces and Fibers
3:35 PM–5:45 PM, Monday, November 25, 2013

Chair: Siddhartha Das, University of Alberta
Abstract ID: BAPS.2013.DFD.L34.9
Abstract: L34.00009 : Drops in wedges
Preview Abstract MathJax On | Off Abstract
Etienne Reyssat
Constrictions or widening of porosity result in non-balanced capillary forces acting at the interface between two fluid phases in porous media. Gradients of confinement can thus be used to produce, break up or manipulate drops and bubbles. We investigate experimentally the motion of oil drops and air bubbles confined between two quasi-horizontal plates forming a sharp wedge. The confinement gradient drives the migration of drops of wetting fluid toward the apex of the wedge. The capillary driving force is balanced by viscous dissipation occurring both in the bulk of the drop and along the contact lines. We provide a minimal model that quantitatively explains the migrations dynamics. In particular, we observe and explain two asymptotic regimes associated to both dissipation modes. We also present various possibilities to trap, expel or transport fluid using confinement gradients.

Separated Tier Wedding Cakes
Separated tier wedding cakes refer to cakes that sit individually on their own stand, and are not necessarily above or below one another. In this way, the wedding cake takes on a "deconstructed" appearance. There may be several reasons to favor this approach when it comes to your wedding cake. First, it's different. Eight out of ten weddings that guests attend will have a stacked or tiered cake, and the ninth will have cupcakes! Separating your tiers, either on individual cake stands or a special cake stand provided by the bakery, will make a statement and will set your reception apart. Another reason to consider separated cake tiers is the size of the individual cakes. Perhaps you'd like similarly sized layers in different flavors. The approach permits you to have different layers that can all be the same size. Or perhaps you would like to have different designs or colors for each cake, unified by a single design element. This approach would permit you to have different "cakes," potentially for the same price as a stacked or tiered cake. If individuality is important to you, if you'd like your affair to be remembered for being "different," consider the approach of the separated tier wedding cake.

Square Wedding Cake with Fresh Fall Flowers
Just because there's a chill in the air doesn't mean you can't have a wedding cake that features beautiful fresh flowers.

Parallel CommentariesMatthew Henry's Concise Commentary
1:12-18 It is not every man who suffers, that is blessed; but he who with patience and constancy goes through all difficulties in the way of duty. Afflictions cannot make us miserable, if it be not our own fault. The tried Christian shall be a crowned one. The crown of life is promised to all who have the love of God reigning in their hearts. Every soul that truly loves God, shall have its trials in this world fully recompensed in that world above, where love is made perfect. The commands of God, and the dealings of his providence, try men's hearts, and show the dispositions which prevail in them. But nothing sinful in the heart or conduct can be ascribed to God. He is not the author of the dross, though his fiery trial exposes it. Those who lay the blame of sin, either upon their constitution, or upon their condition in the world, or pretend they cannot keep from sinning, wrong God as if he were the author of sin. Afflictions, as sent by God, are designed to draw out our graces, but not our corruptions. The origin of evil and temptation is in our own hearts. Stop the beginnings of sin, or all the evils that follow must be wholly charged upon us. God has no pleasure in the death of men, as he has no hand in their sin; but both sin and misery are owing to themselves. As the sun is the same in nature and influences, though the earth and clouds, often coming between, make it seem to us to vary, so God is unchangeable, and our changes and shadows are not from any changes or alterations in him. What the sun is in nature, God is in grace, providence, and glory; and infinitely more. As every good gift is from God, so particularly our being born again, and all its holy, happy consequences come from him. A true Christian becomes as different a person from what he was before the renewing influences of Divine grace, as if he were formed over again. We should devote all our faculties to God's service, that we may be a kind of first-fruits of his creatures.
Pulpit Commentary
Verses 12-18. - Return to the subject of temptation. Ver. 2 taught that temptation regarded as an opportunity should be a cause for joy. Ver. 12 teaches that the endurance of temptation brings a blessing from God, even the crown of life. Comp. Revelation 2:10, the only other place in the New Testament where the "crown of life" is mentioned; and there also it stands in close connection with the endurance of temptation. Elsewhere we read of the "crown of righteousness" (2 Timothy 4:8), and the "crown of glory" (1 Peter 5:4). The genitive (τὸν στέφανον τῆς ζωῆς) is probably the gen. epex.," the crown, which is life." Ὁ Κύριος of the Received Text has but slight authority. It is wanting in A, B, א, ff, and is deleted by the Revisers, following all recent editors. Render, which he promised, etc. The subject is easily understood, and therefore, as frequently in Jewish writings (e.g. 1 Maccabees), omitted from motives of reverence.
Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible
Blessed is the man that endureth temptation,.... Or affliction, which is designed by temptation, as in James 1:2 and the man that endures it is he that so bears it, and bears up under it, as not to be offended at it, and stumble in the ways of Christ, and fall away from the truth, and a profession of it, as temporary believers in a time of temptation do; but manfully and bravely stands up under it, and does not sink under the weight of it, or faint on account of it; and endures afflictions in such manner as not to murmur and repine at them, but is quiet and still, and bears them patiently and constantly, and so endures to the end. Such expect afflictions, and when they come, they are not moved by them, but, notwithstanding them, continue in the ways and work of the Lord; and such are happy persons; they are happy now, and shall be hereafter. Saints are happy under afflictions, and even on account of them, for they are tokens of God's love to them, and evidences of their sonship; and especially they are happy under them, when they enjoy the presence of God in them, when they are instructive to them, and are saner, lifted, when they learn from them the useful lessons of faith, patience, humility, and resignation to the will of God, and are made more partakers of his holiness; and they will be happy hereafter, as follows. The Jews have a saying (h) much like this,
""blessed" is the man, , "who stands in his temptation", for there is no creature whom the holy blessed God does not tempt.''
For when he is tried; by the fire of afflictions, as gold is tried in the fire; when God hereby has tried what is in his heart, and the truth of grace in him, as faith, love, patience, &c. and has purged away his dross and tin, and has refined and purified him, as gold and silver are refined and purified in the furnace, or refining pot: and when being thus tried and proved, and found genuine, and comes forth as gold, after this state of temptation and affliction is over,
he shall receive the crown of life, eternal happiness, called a "crown", because of the glory of it, which will be both upon the bodies and souls of believers to all eternity; and as suitable to their character, they being kings, and having a kingdom and thrones prepared for them; and in allusion to the crown that was given to the conquerors in the Olympic games: and it is called a "crown of life", because it is for life, which an earthly crown is not always; and because it lies in eternal life, and is an everlasting crown; it is a crown of glory that fadeth not away, an incorruptible one; and differs from the corruptible crown given to the victors in the above mentioned games, which were made of fading herbs, and leaves of trees: and now the man that bears up under afflictions, and holds out unto the end, shall have this crown put upon him, and he shall "receive it"; not as merited by him, by his works or sufferings, for neither of them are worthy to be compared or mentioned with this crown of life and glory; but as the free gift of God, as it will be given him by the righteous Judge, as a reward of grace, and not of debt:
which the Lord hath promised to them that love him; either the Lord Jesus Christ, as in Matthew 5:10 or else God the Father; the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Ethiopic versions, read, "God"; and the Alexandrian copy leaves out the word "Lord", which may be supplied by the word God; see James 2:5 and this promise he made before the world was, who cannot lie, nor deceive, and who is able to perform, and is faithful, and will never suffer his faithfulness to fail; so that this happiness is certain, and may be depended upon: besides, the promise of this crown of life is in Christ, where all the promises are yea and amen; yea, the crown itself is in his hands, where it lies safe and secure for "them that love him"; either the Lord Jesus Christ, his person, his people, his truths, and ordinances, and his glorious appearing, 2 Timothy 4:8 or God the Father; not that their love is the cause of this crown of life, or eternal life, for then it would not be the free gift of God, as it is said to be; nor of the promise of it, for that was made before the world was, and when they had no love unto him; but this phrase is descriptive of the persons to whom God manifests his love now, admits to near communion and fellowship with himself, makes all things, even their afflictions, to work for their good, and whom he will cause to inherit substance, and will fill their treasures.
(h) Shemot. Rabba, sect. 34. fol. 133. 3.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
12. Blessed—Compare the beatitudes in the Sermon on the Mount (Mt 5:4, 10, 11).
endureth temptation—not the "falling into divers temptations" (Jas 1:2) is the matter for "joy," but the enduring of temptation "unto the end." Compare Job 5:17.
when he is tried—literally, "when he has become tested" or "approved," when he has passed through the "trying" (Jas 1:3), his "faith" having finally gained the victory.
the crown—not in allusion to the crown or garland given to winners in the games; for this, though a natural allusion for Paul in writing to the heathen, among whom such games existed, would be less appropriate for James in addressing the Jewish Christians, who regarded Gentile usages with aversion.
of life—"life" constitutes the crown, literally, the life, the only true life, the highest and eternal life. The crown implies a kingdom (Ps 21:3).
the Lord—not found in the best manuscripts and versions. The believer's heart fills up the omission, without the name needing to be mentioned. The "faithful One who promised" (Heb 10:23).
to them that love him—In 2Ti 4:8, "the crown of righteousness to them that love His appearing." Love produces patient endurance: none attest their love more than they who suffer for Him.
James 1:12 Additional Commentaries
Contrast of the Rich and Poor
…11For the sun rises with a scorching wind and withers the grass; and its flower falls off and the beauty of its appearance is destroyed; so too the rich man in the midst of his pursuits will fade away. 12Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.

UFC NEWS – "Mayhem" Miller Claims Team Bisping Is Feeding Him Secrets
"I just want everyone to understand how fricken hard I am training. I have never trained this hard or smart for a fight in my life.
In ironic twist news- I'm totally getting reimbursed for John Dodson's insubordination.
I'm not even asking about Michael's training, but for some reason all the friends that I've had for years that are working with him seem to be inclined to tell me about his camp and what he's doing. I don't want or need this info, I'm going to beat him regardless, just found it interesting.
Pretty karmic."
Jason "Mayhem" Miller recently took to his personal blog to update his fans with how training is going.
In an interesting development he reveals that his former work associates that train where Bisping is currently holding camp have felt inclined to give him advice about how Bisping looks in training and what he is working on.
In our recent interview with Tiki Ghosn here on BJPENN.COM he discussed the long history he has with "Mayhem" and this kind of all ties in together as Tiki is Bispings head MMA trainer.
But can you count out misinformation as a tool for war and even if the information they are feeding him is true, will it make a difference come fight night?
22 Responses to "UFC NEWS – "Mayhem" Miller Claims Team Bisping Is Feeding Him Secrets"
Mayhem by Round 2 or 3 by Submission hopefully Bisping is too much of a striker like every1 says so If Mayhem can just be a lot more evasive then he'll just tap'em out like he did to Sakuraba back in DREAM 16
Mayhem is gonna lose any way
if he does it will be by decision. mayhem can submit bitchping but he needs a good plan to get the count on the mat.
no fricken way, bitchbing is way to overconfident and so full of himself his own ego will get in his way.
Jason is going to put that wankers lights out. Period.
England is gross and stupid just like Bispings stroke face after hendo knocked him out. I hope he is "faster" "stronger" when he hits the mat like a little bitch. Don't be scared homie
Ignorant prick, "England is gross" i mean ffs say what you like about a fighter, but hold off hittin on whole countries you utter moron
I agree with the stupid part….
bisbing deserves to lose. He has no respect for the sport.
bisping is gonna fuck up strikeforce miller
he's fought guys better than bisping, but he's never beaten them…
mayhem is arguably a better grappler. but, legit 205ers like hamill couldn't keep bisping down, so i don't see mayhem being able to take it to the mat. we're talkin about a guy who is coming from the other end of the spectrum, having fought a lot of 170 lb opponents. mayhem will likely get picked apart on his feet. i hope he surprises me though…
I think this fight will go deep and cardio will be the desiding factor. So I hope camp went as well for Mayhem as he says, because Bisping always comes in shape ready to run for five rounds.
Mayhem's striking leaves a lot to be desired. His only chance of winning is through submission. Good luck to Mayhem, I saw him at ANW tryouts three years ago. He's a pretty cool guy.
mayhem miller is going to tko or submit him cuz stone cold said so!
Damn i hope mayhem wins this fight! nothing worse than having to listen to bisping talking shit! I'd love to see jason make him tap!
Any one got the line for Millers hair color ?
Bisping will smash that rat faced MFer!!!
-]. I hope Bisping wins .[-
lmao at cheap how the hell has mayhem fought better oponents than bisping i follow both these guys they both lose to the very top top guys but bisping has been fighting better fighters by far and whens the last time mayhem kod or finished any1, bisping has this fight easily if he dosent do anything stupid anywere the fight goes bisping has a answer and watch for the dirty knee mayhem lol when u try and get back up from a failed takedown
Mayhem subbed Sakuraba in his last fight. KO'd Tim Stout before that and had Jake Sheilds basically put to sleep when the bell rang. Get your facts straight dana. Bisping fights a bunch of cream puffs to get a winning streak going so he can be pumped up for the UK fans and when he fights anyone with skills he gets worked.
Bisping will get tapped in the first round and start whining like a little 5 year old. He's a douche and I can't wait to see him get put to sleep. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

A foolish op-ed published yesterday in the New York Times illustrates well the approaching failures of the latest trends in Israel advocacy.
"Pinkwashing" may be an unfamiliar term to most, but it's been the hip new expression in anti-Israelist Western circles for years now. It refers to the efforts by the state of Israel and Israel advocacy organizations to promote Israel's liberal treatment of its gay population, which is certainly the freest, by an extreme long shot, in its region and perhaps in the entire Western world, where even San Francisco may not be as welcoming to gays as Tel Aviv.
The attractiveness of this kind of argument is easy to see. Because Israel is seen most harshly in the West by the left, it is the "progressive" case for Israel that must be made. (Evangelicals and conservatives, presumably, will go on loving the Jewish state no matter how large or, shall we say, exuberant, the Tel Aviv gay pride parade becomes.) Since the left today reflexively voices its concern over gay rights, the thinking goes, highlight sexual freedom in Israel. A similar thought process is behind efforts to promote Israel's environmentalist credentials. Nowhere in the world of Israel advocacy are these kinds of efforts more attractive than on the college campus, where defining oneself as a believer in gay rights and an environmentalist are two of the chief assumptions that govern intellectual life.
The Times pinkwashing op-ed reflects the related problems of this kind of advocacy. While it may have an important effect on the center of opinion, it will do nothing to dent the anti-Israelism of the intelligentsia. Most importantly, by eliding the fundamental question at the heart of the conflict, namely whether or not Jews have a right to self-determination in their homeland, advocacy on this score may win small victories but still find itself continuing to lose the war.
It also is, seen in a certain light, a specie of the traditional Jewish accommodationist political strategy. Rather than demanding acknowledgement of their rights on their own terms (as most peoples do), Jewish Israel advocacy, even when promoted by the state of Israel itself, continues to fall back on ways to make itself appealing to the governing proclivities of the day. Yesterday's order was nationalism, so Leo Pinsker, Theodor Herzl, and their followers cast the Jewish national project in line with it. Today's tendencies lean in other directions, so Jews find themselves pitching their arguments along those lines. All will find themselves forever flummoxed by the ferocity of anti-Jewish politics until they come to understand it is a hatred that cannot be appeased.
The alternative is a robust attack on those ideologues governed by a fundamental misunderstanding of the right to self-determination that underlies our present international order, driven by the conviction in thought, word, and deed that Jewish rights are not a topic up for debate.
We may of course still fail to diminish the potency of the West's current anti-Israelist madness. At least in this way we would give ourselves a fighting chance.
