Enterprise Resource Planning | News
Texas-based New Caney Independent School District has announced board approval to replace its current finance, human resources, and student information system (SIS) with a centralized enterprise resource planning (ERP) system designed to link all of its district operations.
For the project, the district selected Prologic Technology Systems' Total Education Administrative Management Solution (TEAMS), a Web-based system that offers a streamlined approach to data management. Designed specifically to meet the needs of K-12 education, TEAMS links the district's financial, human resources, and student data into a single, centralized database.
Real-time data integration allows authorized users to access and analyze student information as soon as it is entered into the system and simplifies collaboration between teachers, students, administrators, and parents. For instance, attendance, assignments, and report card grades entered by teachers can also be viewed by parents.
Key system functions include:
"Prologic simply has the most integrated system in terms of connecting student and finance into a single database, with the best support and price package," said Dustin Hardin, director of technology for New Caney ISD, in a prepared statement.
Located 30 miles northeast of Houston in East Montgomery County, Texas, New Caney Independent School District serves the communities of Porter, New Caney, and Kingwood. The district has about 11,500 students in nine elementary schools, two middle schools, and three high schools, one of which is an alternative education center. The district's operating budget for 2012-2013 is estimated at $18 million.

Tom McRae heads to Barnstaple
Posted: November 22, 2012|
OM McRae's tour brings him to Barnstaple this Saturday to promote his sixth studio album, From The Lowlands.
In the 12 years since the release of his Mercury and Brit nominated debut, he has regularly toured all over the world, garnering a fiercely loyal audience.
Having moved from Suffolk, to London, to LA, then New York, and now living in the lowlands of Somerset, his songwriting has remained similarly restless and searching.
Not content to be pigeonholed as just a lone balladeer, he usually tours with his long time group, which, after many years, have now been given their own name, The Standing Band. This, though, is Tom's first solo European tour.
"When I started out, my label gave me a bunch of train tickets and sent me off to play school assemblies, it was the first touring experience I'd ever had.
"I thought I was living the dream, staying in bed and breakfasts and playing to kids happy to be dodging double maths."
Thankfully he graduated to the tour bus, the full band and the bigger theatres, but it was those first shows that gave him a love of touring and playing live.
"There's nothing like a solo show for forming a relationship with your audience.
"My favourite gigs I've ever seen have been solo shows, there's something about them, there's nowhere to hide – I love the spell that you can cast."
Always entertaining, with a self-deprecating sense of humour, Tom is adept at taking his audience on a journey, which promises to make this show a lot more than a simple gig.
The Three Sticks gig with Tom McRae is at Pilton Village Hall on Saturday, November 24, 8pm. Take your own refreshments. Tickets: £7 from www.threesticks.co.uk or on the door.

Every guy entertains the notion of being a man of mystery and international intrigue. And the fact of the matter is, he really can be—at least in terms of approaching him effectively for skin care services. Stereotypes both new and old can get in the way when targeting a male clientele, and professionals need to sweep away these misconceptions in order to reach the huge potential of the male market.
The myth of Superman
Men like to feel manly, and for decades now they have spurned skin care services because they've heard their skin is tougher than female skin. And they're mostly right, but this toughness only goes so far.
It's true the dominance of testosterone in the male metabolism stimulates collagen production while estrogen decreases collagen synthesis. A man's skin is on average 25% thicker and more resilient than that of a woman his age. This contributes to the long-held cultural stereotype that men age more gracefully than women, even though the wrinkles men eventually get will tend to be deeper and more severe than a woman's lighter damage.

Liberator Shapes bring the spirit and play of the "inner child" into our sex lives.
Building blocks. So many of us enjoyed them as kids. They stimulated our minds with potential stretched by our imaginations.
Liberator Shapes bring the spirit and play of the "inner child" into our sex lives. The Cube recalls the basic building block, but this is no child's toy. Used alone or in conjunction with the bed or other piece of furniture, the Cube provides a rocking experience. The Wedge and the Ramp provide new angles for sex play and are especially exciting when used in combination. Add the Stage to the mix and now there's an incredible playground with limitless possibilities for fun and adventure.
As a sex educator, my mission is to get people more comfortable talking about sex. My favorite thing about Liberator Shapes is that while they're great in new relationships, they can maintain or reignite the spark in longer-term relationships. Couples who communicate well can be creative with the cushions, developing new positions and enhancing their pleasure. I heartily recommend laughing, playing, and experimenting with Liberator Shapes. They are the intelligent adult toys ---the building blocks for a fun, playful and sexually satisfying relationship.

Is Nicki Minaj voting for Mitt Romney? The rapper-singer, who is nearing a deal to become a judge on Fox's American Idol, gives what appears to be an endorsement of the Republican presidential nominee on Lil Wayne's "Dedication 4," the recently released fourth installment in his mixtape series.
During "Mercy," the fifth track on the album, Minaj raps: "I'm a Republican voting for Mitt Romney, you lazy bitches is f---ing up the economy."
Minaj doesn't follow up her "endorsement" with any other political thoughts, instead rhyming "economy" with "zombie."
RapDose, which first pointed out the lyrics, noted that her rap was performed over Kanye West-produced beats; West attended the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver in support of President Obama.
Minaj has previously vented to Obama over Twitter, including messages expressing her frustration with U.S. healthcare in June on the heels of Moesha and The Parkers actress Yvette Wilson's death from cervical cancer. Before her death, Wilson's friends and family had been trying to raise money online to cover her medical costs.
"What's sad is that when Yvette was bringing home the bacon, the gov't was probably taking millions. On her deathbed though, #Nowheretobefound," she wrote. "That should be a God given right! Even with Obama Care, too much involved. Just give FREE health care to all. @BarackObama what can we do?"
She added: "@BarackObama I wouldn't mind the millions they took if it was going to healthcare. Why should a poor person struggle to pay for MEDS sir?"
What do you think, is Nicki Minaji endorsing Mitt Romney?

That speculation was touched off by a patent application by Apple published this week by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office which was quickly discovered by the folks at AppleInsider. The technology could use an iPhone's or iPad's forward-facing camera to recognize a user's face to customize applications. That could make it easier for family members and others, perhaps in small businesses, to share devices.
The patent concerns "Low Threshold Face Recognition," which AppleInsider described as "a low-computation solution for quickly and accurately recognizing a user."
Facial recognition technology is already widely used, quickly implemented as a security enhancement following the 9-11 terrorist attacks. The U.S. State Department uses it to scan visa applicants to identify possible terrorists or criminals, using a database of 75 million photographs. Facial recognition can even be used by authorities in interrogations to detect whether a suspect is lying.
Slowly Emerging Technology
But it is only slowly phasing into consumer technology. The newly launched Galaxy Nexus, Google's flagship Android device made by Samsung, allows the user to unlock the device with a smile rather than a password. Samsung even produced a commercial marketing that feature, with a little boy trying to imitate his father's grin to make a call. Many digital cameras, and current iPhones, can identify faces for the purpose of focusing the shot.
The technology can also be controversial. When Facebook in June started using it to automatically tag people in users' photos, the German government threatened to sue, claiming it violates people's privacy. Facebook countered that it's easy to opt out of the automatic recognition.
Since Apple didn't invent the technology, its unique take on it regards managing power supply and reducing the impact of lighting and biometric distortions. The patent was filed in June 2009, credited to Robert Mikio Free, AppleInsider reported.
Mobile devices expert Jeff Orr of ABI Research noted that while security is the most obvious benefit of facial recognition, other applications have yet to emerge on any large scale.
"There is not a whole lot of this capability out there, so there are probably a lot of great applications and uses that have not been considered because there is not yet a way to experiment," Orr said.
Follow That Face
One possibility, he said, is the ability to organize images, as a feature on Google's Picasa photo-sharing service now does by recognizing faces that appear most in your collection. "This might allow you to track the progress of a child in a sport or extracurricular activity," he said.
In other Apple news, the Taiwanese supplier news publication Digitimes reported Friday that Apple is expected to change its in-plane switching flat panels to more-advanced indium gallium zinc oxide panels in the next generation of devices, beginning with the next iPads, and that Sharp has switched its production line for such panels to smaller screens for Apple.
The paper also reports that the new iPad will come as soon as next month with two new versions, allowing the company to target mid-range and high-end segments of the market.

AUG 11 - Nepal's National Building Code needs an update to address the growing demand for modern buildings
Good morning, Kathmandu. You are at a crossroads. You must wake up to the hazards and risks from earthquakes and fires.
Modern and tall buildings are mushrooming. Infrastructure is inadequate. Upgrade is dismal. Geological realities already pose potential catastrophic earthquake risks. Fires often follow earthquakes. Electrical short-circuits, gas cylinders, candles and other igniters in homes, apartments, hotels, offices, theaters and other spaces also start fires. Fire safety cannot be ignored.
Safe evacuation from fires is possible only when spaces and buildings are analysed, designed and constructed per acceptable, recognised standards of exiting. Engineered exiting systems permit safe passage from fires and deadly smoke.
Exiting, one of the many non-structural components of building design, is of major concern. Code-complying exiting systems save lives by reducing potential fire and smoke risks through local and global exit pathways. Fire safety is achieved by appraising the use or occupancy of spaces, the location of individuals within spaces, the building's type of construction, fire-fighting capabilities inside and outside the building and other issues. The maximum potential number of people (occupants) in each space and the entire building is considered. Because codes recognised panic behaviour, safe exiting systems provide continuous, unobstructed, undiminished and secure paths to open public spaces. Exiting systems can be complex and their design cumbersome, but it cannot be marginalised. A certified "safe building" comprehensively satisfies both structural and non-structural safety requirements.
The exits in single family homes are designed differently from those within tall buildings, restaurants or movie halls. Living in upper floors is more hazardous than living at ground level. Building codes, such as the California Building Code (CBC), recognise this. Mandates ensure access to a minimum of two adequately protected, adequately separated, sufficiently wide exits from upper floors when potential occupants exceed threshold numbers, thus insuring alternative escape paths to an exit.
A restaurant space with 50 or more potential occupants requires a minimum of two adequately separated exits through a continuous and uncompromised exit system. Exit convergence is prohibited.
Correctly designed exiting systems result in dimensional modifications, as well as building and loading configuration changes. Exiting systems may impact a building's structural design and costs. Ineffective, improper, inadequate exiting systems, however, cause preventable deaths.
Code authorities are trustees and guarantors of public safety. Viable, comprehensive, enforceable building and land development codes are their tools. Ineffective codes trivialise hazards and risks and create a false sense of security from both structural and non-structural hazards.
Firstly, hats off to the Nepal National Building Code (NBC)-1994 developers. Some rules are in place now. However, challenges abound, and NBC remains a helpless adolescent infant.
NBC, the legal controlling regulatory document, enforces safety in living and working environments. Revisions are currently underway, and it is a timely moment to enhance its provisions—both structural and non-structural—for greater public safety. Input from all stakeholders (government agencies, architects, engineers, planners, contractors, developers, politicians, the public, members of the disabled community, financiers and many others) is crucial. Public safety hinges on NBC's provisions and implementation.
Let's attempt to evaluate awareness, consciousness and potential safeguards from fires by seeking answers in NBC-1994. A few observations:
According to the NBC-1994 preface on the requirements for state-of-the-art design, the building code was prepared in 1993 "as part of a bigger project to mitigate the effect of earthquakes on the buildings of Nepal".
As far as non-structural safety issues are concerned, the NBC section on provisional recommendations on fire safety states: "This standard covers the basic requirement for fire safety in the design of ordinary buildings. This standard, with due consideration to the severe limitations on the issue of fire protection in Nepal conditions,
takes a modest approach. It deals only with the minimum requirements of exits from and access to ordinary residential buildings from the fire safety point of view. Designers are encouraged, wherever possible, to incorporate higher levels of fire safety in their design by following relevant reference, standards or codes".
This current legal language is insufficient in that it limits concerns to "ordinary residential buildings". What are "ordinary residential buildings"? Are they single family homes or tall apartment buildings? What are the safety impacts—non-structural and structural—when these "ordinary residential buildings" find other unapproved uses such as schools, hospitals, colleges and offices?
On the other hand, The NBC preface on architectural design requirements states, "The module of Nepal National Building Code covers general building design requirements in accordance with the principles stated in the Bhawan Ain-2055 (Building Act). The principal focus is on the safety of occupants in a building during earthquakes, fires and natural disasters. Due to the limited technical manpower in the country's construction industry, the code has been simplified for the ease of use and implementation. It is hoped that with the development of manpower and modernisation of construction processes, it will be possible to release a more sophisticated set of building planning guides in the future".
Unclear, ambiguous, legally-binding language fails to insure public safety. Margins for misinterpretation, misrepresentation and unenforceability are infinite. Thus the perception: non-structural safety aspects, including disabled access issues, are inadequate or misunderstood in NBC.
Grand visions for a modern metropolitan Kathmandu shall mandate strong, viable and enforceable fire-safety, building and land development codes to insure public safety.
Codes have many components: administrative, enforcement, fire-life safety (non-structural), structural, mechanical, electrical, land & infrastructure development and environmental. Each component is uniquely important yet intertwined. Public safety is insured through judicious collective application and enforcement of codes.
NBC revisions must include comprehensive non-structural requirements for exiting systems based on the classification of buildings; consideration of uses or occupancy; type of construction; area, height and stories limitations; and fire-resistive requirements. Non-structural exiting systems cannot be accomplished in a few NBC pages.
Life is precious. The revised NBC must pass the fire test and address Nepal's unique challenges arising from several World Heritage sites; a rich mix of historical, cultural and archeological sites; and the demand for modernisation.

First off, I don't think media is evil.
It is but a reflection of how the majority of society thinks, and, in turn it reinforces that same thinking. Which is less than beneficial if you are (or aspire to be) an entrepreneur. You can't keep putting crap in your head if you desire to be an empowered entrepreneur who lives outside the "Box."
Before the age of TV and radio, when the media has not yet become such an intrusive force in our lives, news was received from one's immediate surrounding. Family, friends and maybe the village. The circle ended there.
Bad news was rare, mostly involving natural disasters (flood, drought), accidents (fire), or the occasional crime committed by a local. Life revolved around work and family. News was about local things, and spread by word of mouth.
Today, it is very different.
A gruesome murder on the other side of the country? It will be on the evening news. Including interviews with all the neighbors who want to be on TV. Terrorist kills 58 in Afghanistan? You get a video loop. Extreme poverty in the third world? There is inevitably an in-depth report on the nitty-gritty details of being miserable.
These may not be the best examples, but they will serve to illustrate the point. We are constantly inundated with a barrage of low-vibration energy. We have created a society where we send out specially trained people to gather and present all this for us, 24/7. At home, at work, in our car, at the gym, in line at the grocery store, at the bank, and on our gadgets wherever we are. This is all information that is designed and packaged to make us feel bad; that is removed from creativity, inspiration, good (or God, if you will).
If you plug in, soon you will feel there is an inherent evil in the world. We start to look at the universe as an unfriendly, uncomfortable place to be in. I know, I've been there.
Don't buy into this illusion, no matter how much the presenters seem to believe in it. There is nothing good that can come out of it. First, realize that this steady flow of low energy is dangerous and addictive. When you listen to such messages, take a moment out and ask yourself: "Is this how I want to feel?" "Is it to my benefit to keep watching this?"
I don't watch TV. (Well, only sports, every now and then.) I don't plug into everyday news. Does that make me ignorant of the world? No. I use carefully selected sources on the Internet to keep me up to date. I am aware. And awareness is what will help you discern useful information from low energy info-junk. Start by becoming aware of what you allow into your mind when you're watching TV, reading the news, or browsing the internet.
Getting worked up over something from these sources is a strong signal for defense needed against these assaults on the soul.
Defense, great, but how to?
First, remember, no matter how terrible you feel about the bad news, there is nothing you can do to change it. There is no "undo" button on the remote. Nor can we eliminate hatred if we elect to become hateful. We would be like those who see the world that way and broadcast on it as such.
However, by feeling inspired, grateful and in tune with ourselves we have the opportunity to be a small force to transcend and convert these low energies into higher ones. That is the best service we can do for ourselves, our families and our community. The alternative to being dragged down into the mud when exposed to such messages is to instantly remind ourselves that we refuse to match our energies with something so uninspiring. This technique may help you stay informed as well as inspired. Practiced enough ultimately you reach a point where it becomes natural to avoid uninspiring energy. By being inspired we make a dent in all the negativity surrounding us. By "opting out" of the bad news and political quarreling and whatnot, we take a stand and inspire others to take time out of their force-fed illusion of an unfriendly, conflict-ridden, agitated world.

In delivering A+ Schools' eighth annual report today on academic achievement in the Pittsburgh Public Schools, executive director Carey Harris said it marked the first time she had delivered so much bad news.
The racial achievement gap, which narrowed for the past three years, widened this year, increasing 1.3 percentage points to 31.0 percent in reading and increased 3.6 percentage points to 30.9 percent in math.
The graduation rate decreased from 70 percent to 68.5 percent and the number of seniors who earned a 2.5 or higher grade point average -- the total needed to qualify for Pittsburgh Promise scholarships -- dropped 1 percentage point to 58 percent of all students. For black students, the number dropped 4 percentage points to 39 percent.

Romney-Ryan ticket introduced at Virginia campaign rally
By Peter Hamby
RICHMOND, Virginia (CNN) — Mitt Romney officially announced U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin — considered a rising Republican star and the party's leader on fiscal and budgetary issues — as his running mate in the presidential race.
Ryan, appearing at the beginning of a four-day, four-state bus tour in Norfolk, moved quickly to position himself and Romney, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, as champions of voters dissatisfied with the economy.
"I represent a part of America that includes inner cities, rural areas, suburbs and factory towns," he Saturday morning, the U.S.S. Wisconsin in the backdrop. "Over the years I have seen and heard from a lot from families, from a lot of those running small businesses, and from people who are in need. But what I have heard lately, that's what troubles me the most. There is something different in their voice and in their words. What I hear from them are diminished dreams, lowered expectations, uncertain futures.
"I hear some people say that this is just 'the new normal.' Higher unemployment, declining incomes and crushing debt is not a new normal. It's the result of misguided policies. And next January, our economy will begin a comeback with the Romney Plan for a Stronger Middle Class that will lead to more jobs and more take home pay for working Americans."
GOP sources told CNN Friday that Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio had all been told that they were not getting the nod.
Romney initially flubbed his big line, announcing, "Join me in welcoming the next president of the United States, Paul Ryan!" He recovered moments later when Ryan took the stage, saying, "Every now and then, I'm known to make a mistake. I did not make a mistake with this guy, but I can tell you this: he's going to be the next vice president of the United States!"
Romney called several of the candidates on his vice presidential shortlist on Friday evening to tell them he had selected a running mate and to thank them for assisting with his campaign, a Republican familiar with the calls told CNN. Romney did not indicate on the calls whom he had selected, the source said.
In a statement, Portman called Ryan "a great choice." He added, "I look forward to working closely with a Romney-Ryan Administration to restore fiscal sanity and enact pro-growth policies to create jobs."
Three Republicans close to the campaign told CNN that key staffers were told to prepare for the rollout on Saturday morning, when Romney tours the U.S.S. Wisconsin, a museum battleship at the National Maritime Center in Norfolk.
Communications staffers for the Romney campaign were ordered to report to their Boston headquarters at 8 a.m. Saturday, an unusual directive for a weekend, a Republican familiar with the plans told CNN.
There were other signals that Romney was ramping up for a splashy weekend: Much of the Romney high command flew Friday afternoon with the candidate from Boston to Norfolk, including Beth Myers, the adviser tasked with running the vice presidential search process, and Will Ritter, the campaign's director of advance who rarely leaves his spacious corner office in Boston's North End.
Ann Romney, the candidate's wife, landed in Norfolk after her trip to the Olympic Games in London.
The bus tour will take Romney through major media markets in four battleground states — Virginia, North Carolina, Florida and Ohio.
Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, once a potential running mate, introduced Romney. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, a Richmond native, was set to join Romney at stops in the commonwealth on Saturday.
Prior to Saturday's announcement, many Republicans who spoke to CNN — all of them granted anonymity to speak freely without angering Romney officials in Boston — wondered why Romney would announce the pick on a weekend when millions of potential voters are likely to be distracted by the Olympics, PGA golf, late-season baseball and the box office release of the latest Bourne thriller.

Does controversy around a brand make you more or less interested?
Does controversy around a brand make you more or less interested? Why?
It will likely raise my interest to the extent that I want to find out why the drama/controversy, but I really only want a summary of it. It usually leaves a negative impression overall – I don't think I'd be compelled to buy something because there was controversy.
Thanks to Michan for today's question!

Top 10 tech breakthroughs of 2011
- By Sebastian Anthony on December 20, 2011 at 11:17 am
- Comment
Graphene has been behind a stupidly large number of discoveries this year, but we've picked just two to highlight here. First we have the graphene-enriched lithium-ion battery which could improve capacity and recharge rate by up to 10 times; and second, it was discovered that graphene creates electricity when struck by light.
Battery life has never been more important, and likewise solar power is one of the largest growth sectors in the power market. Even so, though, these discoveries will be hindered until scientists perfect a technique of growing graphene in a commercially viable way. Hopefully 2012 will bring some good news in that department.

"Damn Bird"
All the King's Corsairs & Grand Sailors them all!
Went to winds in efforts enthralled~
Ken o'lone sailor whot's ayre so then gone~
Nay naught e'er whot's seen any day's dawn~
For once they did'st sail seas then so steep~
Naught o'fear o'anywhot's ayre 'er deep~
& the corsair's king has gone off to sleep~
Arrrrggh...then did'st a'come a'thunder & gale~
Off far away from a distance seen her sail~
Sloop sleek & stealth by her wake~
Hard into harbour fast did she make~
'Round embattlements under cannons hard roar~
O'er her topmast that damned bird did soar~
Eye at meown & hard as cobalt~
As if it all were meveryown fault!~
Now did'st damn bird aloft at me back~
Find in me mainsheet a tad o'such slack~
As to lay 'er booms wind'ard & set all a'back~
A'baft shall we then ride as one with a tide~
Blown 'ard fer lee shore & set to 'er rail~
Damn 'er foine line settles well in tall swell~
Cut now merry little sloop o'er those waves~
Fer damned if ya don't ye be a landsman & knave~
Begone silly bird yer toime 'as run through~
Such glass as ye know 'tis known but by few~
For all such 'as sailed seven seas~
E'er 'er tantrums & fury to please~
For all then they whot's e'er a'sea~
Such sea whot they didst tease~
Nay~Nay~ Off with ye now~
Damned bird 'overin' at me bow!
Ne'er ne'er shall a day be again~
Whot ayre me 'ad call any damn bird me friend~
Feathers whot 'as all they got good~
Better yet whot's ayre them's all but food~
Off'n me rigging damn bird ye drat~
Off'n me spars whot 'ave ye that~
Out from me cabin & away from me bow~
Out or I'll be a'chasin' ye now~
Woe be damn day whot brung such a bird~
Not ne'er o'such 'ad e'er been 'eard~
Chewin' me spars & flailin' me lines~
All round me boat & under me chines~
Where be me wind to blow off this beast~
When does me waves take away this tiny feast~
Send me a monster of feathery touch~
If'n me 'as to be put up with such~
Off damn bird & outta me 'air~
Out with ye now I'll give ye a scare~
Fly like an Eagle so ye say ye do~
Ne'er no Eagle were that which ye knew~

Styling Tip
Start with slightly wavy, dry hair. Create a side-part and push your bangs to the side. Leaving a few pieces out in front, gather your length in back. Twist a few times until the length buckles into a bun. Pin into place against the back of your head. Lightly mist with hairspray for all-day hold.Try on celebrity hairstyles in the Makeover Studio!

Croydon mother used charity as front for £48k benefit fraud
Posted: November 24, 2012|
A WOMAN who swindled nearly £50,000 of benefits while sending money back to her home country of Nigeria has been jailed.
Clarissa Ihenacho, 55, "set out to defraud" the public purse in a "sophisticated" four-year scam which saw her plough the fraudulent funds into paying off a mortgage at taxpayers' expense.
The mother-of-five created bogus documents to cheat £48,193-worth of housing and council tax benefits, despite owning stakes in £850,000 worth of property.
Sentencing the fraudster at Croydon Crown Court on Friday, Judge Andrew Campbell-Tiech said: "The defendant set out to defraud the state and she did it in rather an intelligent and sophisticated way, and then when she was caught, rather than say sorry, she has told lie, after lie, after lie."
The scam centred on two properties: one in Croydon that she part-owned under matrimonial rights with her husband, and the other in Tooting, which she had a mortgage on.
However, she denied owning any property in the UK to Croydon Council on benefit application forms, falsely claiming both properties were owned by Family Education Helpline UK (FEH) – a charity to which she was a signatory of the accounts.
The false claim made it appear she was merely a tenant at the Pemdevon Road home in Croydon, and FEH the landlord, allowing her to claim housing and council tax benefit.
Meanwhile she had a mortgage on a property in Links Road, Tooting, from which she received rental income after it was converted into two flats. Some of the benefits claimed during the four-year and nine-month scam between 2005 and 2009 were used to pay this mortgage.
The court was told even upon having her benefits suspended after the alarm was raised in 2009, Ihenacho appealed against the suspension, claiming she was still entitled to them.
Errol Reid, defending, pleaded with the judge to show "mercy" and give a non-custodial, suspended sentence. However, she was sentenced to a year behind bars after being found guilty by jury on eight counts of fraud following a week-long trial.
Judge Campbell-Tiech added: "In support of these benefits she manufactured herself false documents to show quite wrongly that she was paying rent for a house she actually owned.
"It makes it difficult to listen to a plea for mercy, and that this is a woman who has fallen from grace simply by happenstance."
Emotional scenes followed with Ihenacho breaking down in the dock while her sons and daughter cried in the public gallery.
As she was taken to the cells she could be heard screaming: "It's fabrication. I'm not the one who filled in the forms."
Doubts were also raised in court over Ihenacho's claims of gaining a doctorate degree from Sorbonne University, Paris, in education.
Only evidence of having obtained a diploma from the university could be found, Francesca Levett, prosecuting, said.
Ihenacho had lived in France after fleeing Nigeria when she was 12 because of civil war there, before moving to England.
Speaking of the fraud, Mrs Levett added: "It was done with one aim in mind, which was to deceive and acquire huge sums of money. This has also been done to create assets one would not normally be able to maintain."

Preserving memory of black pioneers in Oregon
The Oregon Black Pioneers collection and the State Historic Preservation Office's Oregon Historic Sites Database are looking for pioneers.
The two organizations partnered for the recent launch of a property survey project that's been dubbed, "Preserving Oregon's African American Historic Places."
According to OBP's website, the purpose of the project is "to protect and preserve significant sites related to Oregon's African history from the time period of 1844 to 1984."
The State Historic Preservation Office writes that it's "collecting information about existing structures with any African-American association in their histories and cemeteries with African-American burials. These places can be buildings where African-Americans worked, sites where important events happened, or objects created, installed, or inspired by African-Americans."
Oregon Black Pioneers says it's ultimate goal is to nominate significant African-American historic sites to the National Register of Historic Places.
"The revelation of relatively unknown and/or hidden African-American historic sites and places promises to add yet another dimension to Oregon's rich history," the organization wrote.
Included on its website is an early settlement era, gothic revival-style home in Corvallis (641 NW Fourth St.) that belonged to Black pioneers Hannah Gorman and Eliza Gorman. Hannah and her 6-year-old daughter, Eliza, came across the Oregon Trail in 1844 with the John Thorp family.
Oregon Black Pioneers is asking for the public's help to identify significant places. Questions should be directed to one of the following:
• Kimberly Moreland, Oregon Black Pioneers, project manager, firstname.lastname@example.com.
• Kuri Gill, Oregon Heritage, Grants and outreach coordinator, firstname.lastname@example.com.

A night of sorrow; I see so
many stars
but none so bright, a night so
dark, no flashlight
no compass no way to find my
candle in the sky.
Today I lost you hiding in my
blackest night,
alone with no guide. I'll
remember you bright,
but your absent light will
sorrow my everynight.
I lost the light of you in the
night sky,
not my dream of you so bright

Hostel had a good vibe and is reasonably price. How ever the bed sheets were dirty and even when I asked the cleaner to change them they still didn't do it. We had old and used bedding left in the room and old mouldy cups of coffee. There wasn't a curtain in our room it was an old bed sheet that was Dirty.

Literally disgusting. The bathrooms looked/smelled like they hadn't been cleaned in ages and the rooms were grimey. Sheets had gross stains all over them. Entire place reeked. There was puke in the bathroom and it took reception 2 days to clean up. If you have to stay here, I am sorry

Place was well located but really dirty. Lots of people stay here cos it's cheap and they are working but also wish they could afford something else. Saw a big mouse in the kitchen! Boss of the hostel drank with some people at the hostel which seemed weird. Cold water in the shower and no facilities. Only good thing was the location. I only stayed for one night and that was only because of the people at the hostel. Really can't recommend it. If you got the money go somewhere else(!)

Help Me Feed My Father-In-Law
Hello Everyone!
I need some help. My father-in-law has been unwell and is coming to live with us for a while. He's had some liver trouble and can't have anything too fatty, and his salt intake is limited. I like cooking, and I make most things from scratch (i.e. chicken stock) so I'm not too worried about too much salt, but I'd like some ideas about what to feed him.
He's normally a reasonably adventurous eater, but since he's been sick, he's just been wanting comfort food. Think canned creamed corn. Unfortunately, that's not always the best for him. Last time we ate, I made creamed corn, mashed potatoes, mushroom gravy and burgers (he ate his Salisbury Steak styles). He enjoyed it a lot, but said it gave him a stomach ache afterwards. I think it was too rich for him.
To complicate things, he's quit eating salad, although he will still eat fruit.
Any suggestions?

Gear Question
Why did they build a $300 binding with a...
Why did they build a $300 binding with a getto-ass, old high-back on it? You would figure for that price the whole kit would be new!?! Amyway, I'm thinking about either getting the Cartels or the Union Forces which do you think is better?
Wooden Robots
I agree that that the high back is not the newest in the line up, but I will say that is not that getto. The binding is supposed be responsive, the high back adds to that responsiveness. The ankle strap and toe cap are some of the best on the market, comfortable and durable.
Cartel or Force...Both are great bindings, Union has spared no expense on their bindings, they are great. Cartels are some of the most ridden bindings on the market. Riders with other bindings sponsors will ride cartels at times. If you want a stiffer binding run the cartels.
Four Horsemen
The prophecy is all about the Hinged disk!!! this is what makes the binding so epic.
Will give any four-hole / 3-hole board a truer flex than you have ever felt on it. A hinging tray lets it flex underneath your feet!
Check out the picture... REFLEX is the middle... this binding!
We cut the board to over-exaggerate a boards flex, but you get the point. TRUE FLEX IS BETTER PERFORMANCE AND AN INSANE BOARD FEEL!
You will definitely notice a difference!!!
ben shaw
Union Forces all the way. they are simply the best: light, great fit and amazing preformance. an all around flex lets you take on anything full speed. the cartels are simply out dated, they are heavy and have alot less tech than the forces. and they also leave nastly scuffs where they are mounted and could potentialy damage your board (happened to my board) unlike the forces with their EVA dampening.

How do I enable support.pl? When do I need to enable
Only if you are running NT.
The instructions for enabling support.pl below is applicable to WebCT
3.0 (NT) released in July 2000.
Add a Script Alias for support.pl to Apache configuration file.
Location of file: INSTALL_DIR\webct\server\conf\httpd.conf
Make these changes:
Find the section for "# administrator tools".
Add the following line. It is needed to enable support.pl.
ScriptAlias /webct/admin/support.pl INSTALL_DIR/webct/webct/generic/admin/support.pl
ScriptAlias /webct/admin/support.pl INSTALL_DIR/webct/webct/generic/admin/support.pl
- INSTALL_DIR is the placeholder that must be replaced with the
real folder name of the installation directory.
- Due to text wrapping, you may actually see 3 or 4 lines.
They are really 1 line in the format of
Stop and restart Apache. This is needed to activate the changes made
to httpd.conf.
NT: Start > Settings > Control Panel > Services
2000: Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative tools > Services
- In "Services", find "Apache" or the name given to the service
when WebCT was started. (See README_Apache.txt for how to name the
Apache service)
- Click on the service.
- On the tool bar, first click Stop, then click Start.
(The tool bar is similar to one on an audio player.)
Move support.pl to the right place.
Find support.pl in the installation directory, e.g. C:\WebCT\
Move support.pl to INSTALL_DIR\webct\webct\generic\admin\
Change the Perl path on support.pl. Perl path is found at the first
line of the file (and of all files with .pl extension).
Open support.pl in a text editor
Open admin.pl in another window.
The Perl path of support.pl is incorrect.
Replace it with the one from admin.pl
e.g. #!C:/WebCT3/Perl/bin/perl.exe -T -I..
#!C:/WebCT3/Perl/bin/perl.exe -T -I..
Remove '-T'. Keep '-I..'. Leave a space before -I..
i.e. #!C:/WebCT3/Perl/bin/perl.exe -I..
#!C:/WebCT3/Perl/bin/perl.exe -I..
Add a use statement under the Perl path. This is needed in order
for some operations to work.
#!C:/WebCT3/Perl/bin/perl.exe -I..
use WebCT::Security;
#!C:/WebCT3/Perl/bin/perl.exe -I..
use WebCT::Security;
You can now access it from a browser!
Access to support.pl is password protected. Please provide WebCT Support
the admin password.
**Note: It is not recommended for non-WebCT Support personnel to use
support.pl as it is quite a powerful tool.

Can I run WebCT on any port or just port 8900?
WebCT Version: Any
You can run WebCT on any port higher than 1024 or on port 80.
Can the WebCT administrator batch upload global IDs in the WebCT Administrator
area (http://servername:port/webct/admin/admin.pl)?
Yes. You can batch upload a global ID database by completing the following
Log on to your WebCT Server via the Admin Screen. You will need the
Admin logon and Password to do this.
Click User Management
Click Upload
Browse and select the file which is your comma delimited database
file (text format) that contains your global ID information.

What are the Environment Settings? And how do I set them for Publisher
The Environment Settings need to be correctly set in the WebCT Administrator
area in order for the Access Codes to properly Authenticate.
Important Settings for Publisher Courses
Setting up the Publisher Environment Settings
Go to the administrator page for the WebCT server.
Click Server Management --> Publisher.
Click Edit Environment Settings. The Publisher Environment Settings
Editor screen appears.
Set the WebCT Server Name to the same server name used by the student
to access WebCT.
For example, if the student accesses the WebCT server through the
URL http://www.webctserver.com:8900, the WebCT server name should
be set to www.webctserver.com. This may not work if your server is
virtually hosted. You can substitute the server name for the apparent
IP address *visible from the Web*. You may need to ping the server
from an external location to find this information, although your
IT department should be able to tell you what the apparent machine
IP is.
Set the WebCT Server Port to the port number that appears in the
URL used by the student to access WebCT. If no port number appears
in the URL, the WebCT port number should be set to 80.
For example, if the URL is http://www.webctserver.com:8900, the port
number is 8900.
I'm upgrading my WebCT installation. Should I upgrade my server first
and then migrate, or should I migrate and then upgrade?
Due to the underlying architecture of the current versions of WebCT,
it is not easy to migrate across OS platforms or even hardware with the
same OS without causing the various databases to go out of sync. If you
are migrating to new server hardware where the new drive is a mirror of
the current server drive, you might be able to migrate by doing a copy
of the entire WebCT directory followed by upgrades on the new system.
However, you need to do extensive testing prior to taking down your production
server. It is a migration method that is currently UNSUPPORTED.
For now, the safest migration method is the following (do only when no
active classes are in session such as between terms):
Install WebCT on the new system.
Create a text file of designers and upload them into the global DB
of the new system through User Management.
Backup all the courses from the old server, transfer to the new server.
Restore all the courses and reset them during the restore process.
Assign the designers during the restore process.
Note that WebCT only works with the Apache server and not IIS. You will
need to make appropriate adjustments during your installations.
For instructions on upgrading older (2.x and earlier) versions of WebCT,
see the Documentation
How do I display non-English characters with WebCT?
The answer depends on the version of WebCT that you're using. For example,
WebCT 2.X and 3.0 do not force any fonts or encoding. Basically you set
the browser to a certain encoding (such as GB for Chinese characters),
and it will stay there unless the page it is displaying has other encoding
in it.
In WebCT 3.1 (the non-language release), the encoding is forced to ISO
8859-1. You can change this default encoding on a per server basis to
affect all the pages in the Content Module. Here's how:
Using a simple text editor, open the file /webct/webct/generic/lib/http_header.ph
Find the following line
print "Content-type: $type; charset=$charset\n\n";
Change it to the following line:
print "Content-type: $type\n\n";
A completely different approach (that may or may not suit your needs)
would be to create your pages and then use Adobe Acrobat to make .pdf
files from them. (You'd need Acrobat Writer to do so.) Then everything
on the page will remain intact and not be browser or WebCT reliant for
Why are students being sent to "Ask Jeeves" when they log on to WebCT?
Users with Bearshare (and possibly other file-sharing programs) are
experiencing this phenomenon. Even if they delete the program from their
computers, the leftover files and registry entries cause the behavior
to continue. The UGA support folks suggest the following:
1. Do a system restore (All programs / Accessories / System Tools /System
Restore) back to the time before they installed the filesharing program.
2. Download AdAware and run it and delete all the leftover files and
registry entries.
See UGA's very good page on the the Ask Jeeves redirect at http://www.arches.uga.edu/announce/logprob-0802.html
It's a good idea to warn your students of the dangers of installing file
sharing programs, download accellerators, and the like.

"One of them, who I became really friendly with, used to talk about the tunnels, ... He'd say, 'In the wintertime, I'm going into the tunnels. I'm sick of sleeping out here.'"
"I want you, but then again I don't. I'm willing to take a chance, but not really. To tell you the truth, I'm scared. I've been hurt and heartbroken too many times. I'm afraid that if I open up, it'll only end in disaster. That pain is going to be there whether I like it or not and I apologize. I'm not saying to wait for me cause I would hate to do that to you, but I'm just saying that I am worth it."
"I failed a lot of times running after people that didn't feel the same way for me. I treated them like they were my everything but they just treated me like another someone they knew. I gave up a lot of times and still every time I start loving someone new it never tends to work out and it tears me up inside realizing that they are starting to fade away from my life and eventually they'll be gone."
"I still remember the time you were almost mine. The time I almost told I loved you, but I just couldn't. You were standing there waiting for me to say it but it just wouldn't come out. Maybe I was too afraid to admit my feelings to you, fearing you would reject me but I hope someday you'll realize how much you meant to me."
"A short letter to a distant friend is, in my opinion, an insult like that of a slight bow or cursory salutation"
"I once knew a girl that meant the world to me, she was just amazing. She's that one girl in my life I would never get over maybe because she gave me some of the best memories in my life. But love never lasts and now I would I give anything to go back to to the moment when I looked at her, she was looking at me and then she smiled. Everyday I wonder what could of been and what if I was with her now. I wonder how she is everyday. Years have gone by but on my mind she stayed."

UFC NEWS – Overeem On Lesnar: "I am going to rip Brock Lesnar apart, piece by piece."
"I think I have earned a UFC world title fight, by winning every major title outside the UFC, but I am here to prove that I am – without question – the best heavyweight on the planet. You don't do that sitting on the sidelines or working out in the gym, you do that by fighting and beating the best available opposition in the biggest fights that can be made.
Myself vs. Lesnar is a huge fight and I jumped at the chance to fight him.
But I don't underestimate this man. Winning UFC belt from Randy Couture in his fourth pro MMA fight and defending it against Frank Mir and Shane Carwin was very impressive. I am also impressed by Lesnar's fighting spirit; he has twice come back from a very serious illness and fought very tough opposition right away. He obviously has a lot of confidence in himself in fighting me after more than a year out and surgery on his stomach, and I admire that about him, but I am even more confident in myself. I will knock this guy out.
He is great at takedowns and controlling people on the ground, but he I can stop his takedowns and he is no match for me on the feet.
I am going to rip Brock Lesnar apart, piece by piece."
Newly signed UFC heavyweight fighter, Alistair Overeem, was recently interviewed by Yahoo Sports and the above quote is the result.
Staying with his catch phrase for his UFC 141 main event against former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar, Overeem once again proclaims that he is going to rip Brock apart "piece by piece."
Can he keep it standing long enough to back up the talk or will Lesnar's wrestling game takeover?
Speak on it Penn Nation!

If he can stop the take downs he will pick Lesnar apart. I'm not really confident he can though…I mean he stopped Werdum's take downs, but obviously Lesnar's take downs are 10 times better.
So I guess we'll see just how good Overeem's take down defense is. If it's good enough, then Lesnar's face will look like steak tartar if he even makes it past the first round.
brock aint got a chance, i think y'all overrating his takedown ability.. this fight will be on its feet and then end up with brock getting gnp… thats a more likely outcome
He is a pretty good wrestler so he must have a really solid take down. At least that's what I expect from a wrestler with his credentials…
Nevertheless I do hope it goes like you have it planned out for Overeem hahaha
Brock is legit, a collegiate wrestling champion, and to top it off the dude is fast! Have someone running full bore at you that weighs close to 265 that can easily squat double your weight and bench it as well. That being said Brock's take down's are NOT unstoppable, but he is legit so don't try to blow smoke up everyone's butts with your nonsense. I hope Reem can stop them, and beat Brock as I am no Brock fan, but I give credit where credit is due and Brock is legit in his take downs.
LOL man I thought he was gonna leave JDS eating his dust in that TUF relay based on this speedy hw talk.
very true, but he needs to get through Reems standup in order to make those takedowns; and if he gets top position he needs to stay there. imo Lesnar needs to grind Reem down (GnP) make him tired & then go for the kill in the later rounds. If he charges in and thinks he's going to man handle Reem, he'll get his ass handed to him.
I agree with you 100%; if Overeem can keep it on the feet, Lesnar is going to get smashed. & if he can't it will be the other way around.
K, just watched the Overeem – Rogers fight; just further confirms my above comment. Lesnar needs to get the top position and stay there if he's going to pull this one out. On the feet, he's going to be wayyy out-classed; and if he goes down and Reem smells blood? Lesnar's going to get a more controlled version of Carwin's donkey kong act on his head. In other words, (imo) it's over.
I would say one and a half years ago that Brock could probably beat Overeem easily with his wrestling. But Brock has been out with diverticulus for almost a 1.5 years and only one short fight in between with Cain. I have a feeling ring rust will be huge in this fight and will definitely play a factor to Overeem winning this fight by TKO 1st round.
poor lesner's gonna get killed…if you've watched his fights in the past or even some of his wrestling matches you'll notice he's not really the most technical wrestler he's more pure power and speed and just tackles guys to the ground but overeem is just as big and just as strong so it won't be too hard to stuff a mere double leg and catch him on the way out to end the fight
I believe Overeem, like Dos Santos against Cain will have the most chance of victory in the first 2 rounds. Overeem is very explosive, and very strong, so during the first 2 rounds i believe he easily is strong enough to stuff Brocks take downs and he may even toss him around like he did to Rogers. He will look to strike and capitalise on Brocks weak stand-up, if he lands he could seal the deal. He has great ground control and we saw that against Rogers. I believe he is stronger then Brock But i think Brock may have better cardio, but like GSP says "you get tired when you get into positions where you dont want to be". Look for overeem to win by tko or decision.
Hi fags.. Lesnar's takedowns won't work on a huge dude like Overeem..
OK peeps…has overheem faced the kind of opposition that brock has beat? Frank Mir, Randy Couture, Shane Carwin? Wow he beat Brett Rogers and gassed against Werdoom trying to stop his takedowns! What you fail to realize is the combination of brocks speed and power has never existed before. And he dont gas! Overheem wont be able to toss that kind of strength around like he did a fat and out of shape rogers…this is a pure wrestler we're talking about! I promise you Overheem will be on his back by the middle of the first round eating lunchboxes, and by the bell of the second, he wont have anything left in the tank! The only thing Alistair will take apart piece by piece is the stitching on brocks gloves!
He fought Werdum injured…
Lesnar fought a Couture on his way to retirement, Mir has no apparent take down defense, Carwin..haha c'mon man Carwin isn't any better than Rogers!
Overeem is the Dream, Strikeforce ánd K-1 Champ.
Lesnar is a former UFC and WWE champ…See the difference?
I still think Brock still has this one. He's becoming better in his stand up, has better conditioning, he is at least as strong as Overeem and he is a very strong wrestler. It's a bad decision to bet against a wrestler.
Ofcourse Lesnar might win, anything can happen. There are several reasons, but in general I think Overeem is the far better all-round fighter.
I see more and more fighters arming themselves against the wrestlers take downs. Once the majority of MMA practitioners got that under control, the wrestlers in MMA will be done, apart from the wrestlers that manage to get more all-rounded…But mark my words, the one dimensional wrestlers will be done within a few years.
I think your mistaken. More and more MMA fighters are learning wrestling in order to make their ground game complete. The ground and not to sound cliche is where the fight goes. Matt Huhes, GSP, Jon Jones, Cain, Brock all of these guys were or are champs who use wrestling predominately. If anything brawlers and one dimensional strikers will fade away. Basically anyone who is one dimensional will fade away within the next ten years. Ben Askrin is the ww champ of Belator and he is a one dimensions wrestler.. His days are numbered. I think Anderson Silva's days are numbered as well…. Even with his black belt in BJJ.
Jay Hieron should have won that fight against Askren. That decision was disgusting.
Anderson Silva is 37 years old, so yeah ofcourse if he continues he will end up losing.
And speaking of cliches "Every fight begins standing up", it's just a matter of stopping the take downs. 😉
Hey dude for the record when someone is on their way to retirement they don't fight 5 more times after that fight. Randy was coming of a T.K.O. victory of Gonzaga and lost to Lesnar, ok but then he went on to fight 5 more times and have a 3 fight win streak. Hey buddy in my opinion the fight with Nogueira (which was after the Lesnar fight) was one of his best fights ever. So stop pretending like you know what you are talking about.
The reality of it is that Lesnar is out matched in the striking game. And Overeem has much more experience. but Brock lesnar doesn't have to be a world champion kick boxer in order for him to knock someone out. He hits hard, and if he can work on his cardio then he might be ok. Did you watch UFC 121? Lesnar came out with flying knees and was taking it to Velasquez. He landed a pretty good right cross to knock down both Randy couture and Heith Harring. So don't count him out.
Oh and by the way try and reframe from injuring yourself in battle……Hey did you hear that? Mommy is calling her little keyboard warrior to bed. Run along you mighty warrior and come back to battle tomorrow after school.
lol you might want to tone it down a notch little battyboy. I have 15 years of Muay Thai and Tae Kwon Do experience under my belt. So I'm in no way a keyboard warrior.
Something you obviously are 'karate guy'. Have you ever even stepped foot in a ring? I bet you only do Kata's…Now go buy urself a black belt cause you won't earn it.
r u serious? carwin isnt ne better then rogers lol ur nuts carwin has all around better tools.. he gets beat once bad n thats ur analysis.. if ur talking injury fights carwins back has been injured for past 3fights i believe and been putting off back surgery until after jds fights.. carwin easily still top 7 hw rogers? needs to go to boxing like kimbo cause they dont have the tools to last
r u serious? carwin compared to rogers haha he lost to the current champ in a brutal beating and now all of a sudden hes compared to bret rogers ha bret needs to go to boxing like kimbo did carwin still top 7 hw imo…
brock is hated on but he wasnt thrown cans.. he made huge strides in the sport in just little time..overeem is good as well should be an interesting matchup
Yea Brocks wrestling really saved him against Cain didn't it. You dummy. Did you even watch that fight? Who has Overeem faught you ask? Ok…Shogun, Vitor, and Cro cop in their prime in Pride. Not to mention Todd Duffee, Badr Hari….so you see your a dumb ass and now you can go back to jerking off to your sister and your dog.
And both times shogun who is to small for reem won. Overeem is just as hyped as jake shields was.
imo jake looked stronger and healtier at 185.. should go back to that weight he was brought over to dethrone gsp not happenen so go back to the weight u dominated
Pride is out of buisness so leave it alone
Yea pride is out of business, but guess what their fighters are still fighting, and theyre still doing well. Which makes them relavent. so shut the fuck up you retard.
oh my bad sorry……would u like me to kiss ur rear end?
Call me crazy Lesnars gonna,pound the snot outta Overeeted,and he will finish by sub or too by way of lunch buckets in the noggin!
You must be read xaninho comment 1 above yours he's right on the money the experience alone plus reems a monster
they both really have the same bully" im gona beat you with my strength and size mentality"..reem mite do a cain on brock,brock mite do a werdum but be successful with it,both can knock eachother out,its a coin toss.. survival of the fittest
eh… hope Brock wins because MMA moves forward with him. Does anyone else agree with this? He brings in the crowd and publicity and the numbers and the money…
I think it's Overeem bringing in the new fans. Why you think UFC has been trying to sign him for several years now? DW is even giving him a shortcut to the titleshot, he just has to turn Lesnar's face into steak tartar.
Lesnar isn't as popular worldwide as Overeem is. Let's be honest, there aren't alot of fight fans liking the wrestlers fighting styles( lay 'n' pray, grinding) simply because it's boring to see a fighter ducking the fight Lay n Pray and grinding to a decision win.
both guys have huge fanbases… and then there are the anti-fans who buy the ppv just to see them lose, so it works out for the ufc.
imo brock's only offense is powerful takedowns or power punching. both require timing and an opponent with poor footwork – his defense is his offense. the gameplan seems simple… lots of punches and movement (no kicks). it won't allow him to get comfy and time an bomb or a tackle. easier said than done of course.
T.DADDY and mmaislandjunkie have the best one liners on BJPennCom,you guys never seize to amaze me,your both funny as fukc with your little digs are hillarious imo…..ol Chartai is in the running as well,misarable bastard….hahaha……….JK Chartai
Brock is no slacker and will do what he knows how to do, take people down and try to ground and pound, which seems to be his ONLY game plan whenever he fights, tried it time after time against Velazquez and failed because of Cain's wrestling. I am and have been an Overeem fan and I will be even after he's done fighting and I will enjoy watching this fight, I just want for Overeem to watch for the crazy fast take downs, Brock won't want to stand and trade because he knows he will get smashed. I give credit where it's due, Brock is fast and likes to take people down and is good at trying to control them, he's got no stand up, specially against Overeem. Let's make it happen Alistair you got me as a fan.
I think Brock's takedowns are just too good blah blah blah. My fucking grandmother could knock Brock lesnar out. Overeem will hit Brock one time and Brock will be rolling all over the cage trying to find his pacifier. I think Brock's gunna come out looking immediately to force a takedown and get caught just like against Cain. Who ever wins it's gunna be cool watching two grizzly bears fight.
If he would of controlled his shit against Cain, he might have got that top position and stayed there. The fight outcome could have be a lot different with that viking gorilla bashing his melon for a round or two. But Brock didn't, he was all mad boners and scrambling around. Cain got back to his feet and picked him apart. The same will happen here if Brock isn't able to gain top position and control the reem.
You have zero eye for detail and therefore don't have a clue man … saying something like Brock will get ko'd highly proves you may have seen like 2 mma fights all together . Any rematch with Cain would be a Lesnar victory… lol kids these days. Lesnar will run through Overeem like a hot knife through butter (Based on Overeems last 2 fights and career fights) and get a shot at Dos Santos who I also said would end Cain in round 1.
hahahah everyone saying reem is gonna kill brock, you realize reem was in the minor leagues right? fighting chumps. as far as stand up i would think reem has a big advantage, but if brock can just catch him once with a wild punch or something, you should know reem has a glass jaw.
Judging by what you have just said you dont know alot about either Brock or Overeem. Number one Reem wasnt in minor leagues,K1 isnt minor, Pride or Strikeforce isnt minor. And if you think theyre chumps why dont you go and fight them? Also Brock doesnt have knock out power, hes thrown 2 good punches in 7 fights. One to Randy and one to Heath Herring. Reem doesnt have a glass jaw you silly monkey.
brock no ko power?
You dip shit ?
I guess that's why UFC bought Strikeforce and signing all those Strikeforce talents. Cause they're chumps! Right! And all the former Pride fighters in UFC! All chumps too? I see!
Ofcourse the former WWE champ has fought REAL battles right?
If they wanted the fighters they could of picked up who they wanted when their contracts expired, their goal was to get rid of one of their major competitors
dont count brock out standing tho with hands as big as his its a matter of timing.
overeem better catch brock coming in. i think brock knows he better put him on his back. if he does i believe that he grounds and pounds. overeem is a naturally thin framed man and he will exhaust carrying all that mass if he has to work from his back. just my opinion.
Hoping Reem but I think Brock will take it :/
Overroid is talking alot of shit in the lead up to this fight.Yet hardly a word from Lesnar?.Its the quiet man you have to watch.I think Overroid is talking to much shit and setting himself up for a fall.
cause brock just got smashed his last fight…
I love Overeem but this is worst case scenario for him… there is zero chance he will win this fight you can write it down it's already done.

One Direction's Harry Styles Flies Out To L.A. Alone — Is He Visiting a New Girlfriend?
As we all know, the squeezably cute members of boy band One Direction can't even board a plane without at least someone starting crazy rumors about where they might be headed. And sure enough, Hollywood Life is wondering whether Harry — who has left behind the boys in London to fly solo to L.A. — is planning to meet up with a new girlfriend while he's there. That sounds like an arbitrary assumption to us, but you never know, considering that these guys certainly have a lot of women who would like to get to know them better...if ya get our drift. (*cough* Taylor Swift *cough*)
As for his recent extracurricular activities, Harry was spotted a few days ago in London with a pretty blond named Ellis Calcutt, but they're reportedly just old friends. (Whether you can really have "old friends" when you're just 18 years old is a different matter.)
Hollywood Life points out that Harry reportedly flew solo to New Zealand last month in hopes of rekindling things with his ex, so apparently hopping flights for girls is sort of his thing. But you know what apparently isn't his thing? Getting a haircut! (We kid, we kid — we love the shaggy little playboy-in-the-making.)
Plus, given how much money these guys are making now, they could probably afford to buy a trans-continental airplane ticket just because they happen to have a hankering for tiny bags of pretzels and a chance to peruse the latest issue of SkyMall. Who can say no to SkyMall?
