Exercise of The Week (Females Only) #1-10
Ok since the Exercise of The Week is up and running i decided to get the womens up and running too. So This Is the First Week in this Section This log will be updated Weekly (usually Mondays), Aswell as a discussion thread left open.
Right Lets get to it.
This Weeks exercise targets a bodypart that many women moan about (even the size 0 crowd) this may or may not apply to you put its the shopping bag dillema. Ever walked past a mirror carrying a bag etc and thought 'urge look at my arms' many of the heavier individuals (men included) suffer from what many refer to as 'bingo wings', under this are the triceps and may i say i have seen some women with beutifully tonned arms in the gym doing these same exercises so my aim for the first couple of the Exercise of the week will be to supply exercises to help with this area. This Weeks Is.......
Dumbell Kickbacks (superset)
supersetted with:
There are two versions Here
First is Peformed on a Bench
Second is standing
Kneel over bench with arm supporting body. Grasp dumbbell. Position upper arm parallel to floor. Extend arm until it is straight. Return and repeat. after end of that set continue This with opposite arm. Then without rest, Grasp two dumbells, stnad with legs slightly bent and body leant forward keeping back straight. As above Position upper arms parallel to floor. Extend arms until it is straight. Return and repeat.
This is one set. Feel free to rest 1 min then repeat.
Hope You enjoy
Week #2
Ab Exercises - Vacuum Contraction:
This exercise is very unique among exercises for your stomach and is one of the exercises for your stomach that most people have never performed.
Because the inner unit muscles attach from the pelvic floor to the lower spine, you'll feel a burn from front to back.
Again this, as with the other abdominal exercises, looks simple but its very challenging. It may take you a few weeks to be able to hold your abdominals for 90 seconds but it's worth it.
The vacuum pose is an isometric exercise that is done by pulling the bellybutton back towards the lower spine during a deep inhalation that is held for 15 seconds. The exercise is repeated for 3 to 5 minutes several times a day.
This pic sums it up best.
Now i know many women will be looking thinking 'jes i dont wanna look like that' trust me you wont. BUT practising this can help strengthen the stomach muscles giving you better control of them and inturn a stronger a visually smaller waist!
Week #3
ok i may get stick for this but there is nothing sexier than a women with tonned legs and glutes (any guys peaking in here will agree!) so here is a great exercise to get you women on the way and help tone (now many will be looking at this thinking 'mine are fine thank you!' lol) well these can make them better just dont come to my gym and distract me after using these for a while )
Dumbell Lunges
Start with Moderate weighted dumbell (when getting heavier if grip fails strap them) held at the side of the body
Lunge forward with first leg. Land on heel then forefoot. Lower body by flexing knee and hip of front leg until knee of rear leg is almost in contact with floor. Return to original standing position by forcibly extending the hip and knee of the forward leg. Repeat by alternating lunge with opposite leg.
Week #4
Lat Pull Downs
Dead Simple exercise this week one which is great if not able to do pull ups
Grasp cable bar with a wide grip.
Sit with thighs under supports.
Pull down cable bar to upper chest.
Return until arms and shoulders are fully extended.
Week #5
(Strengthens lower back)
This is a fantastic Strengthening exercise for the lower back, one which men and women should use
Give it a go!!!!!!
Lie flat on your stomach reaching your arms overhead with your palms down.
Extend your extremities straight out, away from your torso.
lift your arms and legs simultaneously for enough repetitions to cause some muscle fatigue.
Look down, and don't overextend your neck.
This is about how long you can stretch your body, not how high.
Squeeze your butt as you lift.
Try to make it to a minute.
week 6
Yes I Know i only did glutes a few weeks ago but glutes are considered a highly desirable physical attribute, The glute kickback exercise is a great way to target and sculpt this problem area and best of all, it can be executed without bulky and expensive equipment. Going beyond the aesthetic benefits, training the glutes can translate into improved athletic function. Since the main gluteal function is hip extension, so.....besides looking good, training them can improve running efficiency.
Glute Kickbacks
Position yourself on your knees and hands so that youre facing the ground.
Slowly extend at the hip and draw one leg back. A contraction should be felt
in the buttock on the same side as the extended leg.
Lower the extended leg back down slowly while stopping short of starting position to keep the stress on the gluteal region.
Repeat until desired number of repetitions are completed.
Switch legs and repeat.
Sorry for the week Delay, (been infromed that i can start my foundation degree if get my level 3a out of way quick so been working on that)
Ok this week is a cross over, i happened to be in the gym just leaving and noticed a women doing these exercises and couldnt help notice the outer sweep appearance during, (before the comments rush in i noticed purely in a bodybuilding manor) i have heard round the mill that Ronnie Coleman and Kai Greene have used this exercise so why not give it a go
Sit with your back pressed into the adductor machine, holding on to any handles and with your legs and feet pressed against the foam pads.
bring your legs together, focusing on using the muscles of your inner thighs - your adductors, hold for a second, then return under control to the starting position.
Some adductor machines will have a combination of settings, allowing the legs to be taken wider. Avoid taking your legs out too far, especially for beginners, as this can cause you to strain your adductor muscles.
Aim to keep your legs and back in contact with the machine at all times.
It may be useful to warm up your muscles with a light weight prior to your training weight, as this will not only help prevent injury, but also make sure that the machine is set-up comfortably for you.
Week 8
Ok this one was given to me by a powerlifter and was intended for many looking to strengthen lower back for heavier squating, deadlifting etc but i decided the women should get the heads up first for once
To begin the reverse hyperextension exercise, lie face down on the exercise bench with your hips and legs hanging off the bench.
With your legs straight and your arms wrapped around the bench for support, lift your legs up while breathing in. Concentrate on using your lower back, hamstrings, and glutes to lift your legs up. Lift your legs until they are a little higher than bench level.
Hold your legs up a short duration. (One or two seconds is sufficient.)
Carefully bring your legs back down as you breathe out. Congratulations! Youve just completed one repetition of a reverse hyperextension on an exercise bench.
Repeat steps 1-4 several times. For most exercises, including reverse hyperextensions, the normal range of repetitions for one set is between 6 and 10. As a beginner, I recommend starting out with one set of 6-8 repetitions of the reverse hyperextension exercise to avoid potential injury. Gradually work up to 3-4 sets of 10-12 repetitions as your strength increases. The reverse hyperextension exercise will make a great addition to your weight training routine
Week 9
Monica Brant includes is one that I love but you never see.
Ive talked about this one before.
Im talking about performing the leg press one leg at a time.
The way I personally love to perform this leg exercise is as follows:
Use a weight that allows you to get 20 to 30 reps per leg.
Go to failure with one leg and the immediately go to your other leg.
Once you hit failure, go back to the first leg.
Do this for three or 4 sets (per leg) without stopping.
A good variation of this is the single leg squat (if machine is available)
Week 10
My main reason for this exercise choice (no not what you think guys) is injury prevention, The bench press is imo a show exercise its benifits dont really outweigh possible negatives, the movement is un-natural when compared to incline, dont get me wrong, bench hits the chest hard but it may be too hard many people tear their pecs from heavy flat bench press yet not as many do on the incline, The incline is a safer choice and imo hits the chest better.
This exercise is very similar to the regular barbell bench press except that you will be using an incline free weight bench press machine and your upper chest will be the muscle group worked instead of your middle chest. Lift the barbell off of the rack and slowly lower it to about 3 inches above your clavicle (just below your Adams apple) and then press the bar back to the start position. DO NOT TOUCH THE BAR TO YOUR UPPER CHEST (this causes unneeded stress on your shoulder joints and takes the tension away from your upper pec muscles, which are what we want to be doing the work!). Be sure that when you are lowering the bar that you do so in a slow and controlled fashion. Conversely, when you press the bar upward, you want to do so in an explosive fashion. Repeat this movement for as many repetitions as you can until failure

Cedar City police officer facing DUI resigns
Cedar City • A Cedar City police officer has resigned after he was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence in his patrol car while off-duty and leaving the scene of an accident.
Cedar City Police Chief Bob Allinson told The (St. George) Spectrum Friday that Officer Jed Imlay resigned two weeks after his June 2 arrest.
Investigators say the 9-year force veteran was off duty when he allegedly hit a wall with his car near the Little League Baseball Complex about 7 p.m. just after witnesses say he had dropped a child off at the field.
Beaver County Attorney Von Christiansen enhanced Imlay's DUI charge on Friday to a class A misdemeanor due to allegations he had a child with him. He's scheduled to appear Aug. 5 before 5th District Judge Keith Barnes.

CRESTVIEW — Expectations are high for Crestview High School's volleyball team, which opens the season Monday at Milton. Crestview hosts Choctaw in the home opener at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Coming off their first playoff appearance since 2004, the Bulldogs are confident.
"We are not dropping our goals," Coach Kathy Combest said. "Our motto is, 'One team, one goal.' We want everybody to have the same goal to win district and go further in the playoffs."
The team's seniors have bought into the plan.
"We are going to the playoffs again," Molly Kitchen said.
When asked about beating District 1-7A rival and nemesis, Kitchen replied, "That's on our to do list."
Nichole LeFevre was even more specific in what she wanted to accomplish in her senior season.
"I want (us) to go to the playoffs," she said. "I want to be district champs. I believe we can do it.
"We've got the team together this summer and I see it coming 100 percent."
The Bulldogs have a mix of six seniors and young talent.
Combest, now in her fourth year coaching the team, thinks this group could be her best Crestview team yet.
"I see it as a more rounded volleyball team," she said. "Everybody can do something.
"They play well together. There is a lot of volleyball experience out there."
Macie Adams and Baylee Estep join Kitchen and LeFevre as the most experienced members of the senior class.
Combest said the senior class knows what she wants.
"They understand what's expected of them," she said. "They understand that we are going to work hard. You don't have to preach that all the time.
"They are good leaders."
Combest sees Crestview's District 1-7A as being a tossup among any number of teams. Niceville is the defending champions, but Combest thinks the Bulldogs and Fort Walton Beach can challenge the Eagles. And she said Navarre and Tate are capable of making some noise in the district as well.
Win or lose though Combest will be happy if she sees the desire to win from her team knowing that with the right desire winning will come.
"A lot of people say that winning is everything, but I don't think winning is everything," she said. "I think wanting to win is everything. That's hard in my book.
"You always want to win when you step into any event."

A Cherry Street missionWritten by Michael Miller | Editor in Chief Emeritus | firstname.lastname@example.com
I parked at the Cherry Street Mission building and walked to the 17th Street entrance, where a man asked how he could help me. I told him I was there to help a church group with dinner service, and he told me I was at the wrong location; I needed to be at the kitchen on Madison Street.
A man standing at the door said he was walking that way and could guide me there. I asked him how far it was; I was not concerned with the walking distance, but I did not know how late I would be there on that April 15 night and was not comfortable with the idea of walking back after dark and leaving my car in a restricted lot.
I told the man, who introduced himself as Doug, to hop in my car and we could drive to the kitchen. It was a short trip and there wasn't much time for conversation, but he mentioned he was suffering from back problems and appreciated the ride.
I parked in the lot at the Madison Street kitchen, as dozens of people milled around. The area surrounding the kitchen building is a shocking ring of abandoned, crumbling buildings. If you were dropped off in that desolate area, you would never guess that just blocks away, thousands of people were taking their seats for a baseball game in a well-maintained stadium, comfortable with plastic cups of beer and overflowing handfuls of popcorn and hot dogs.
I walked through a short hallway and into a large dining room, where scores of people were already waiting. I located the kitchen, where several men were preparing to serve a dinner to the Cherry Street Mission guests.
I found Norm Carlton, the man from St. Michael's in the Hills Episcopal Church, who had invited me to help his group serve dinner.
His men's group, "Mondays at Mike's," was serving food prepared by Ida's Catering, paid for by an offering at the church's Easter service. The men in the church group were setting up various food stations — a salad area, a place to set fresh-baked dinner rolls, a line to plate golden-brown roasted chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy and green beans. The kitchen smelled like any suburban home on Thanksgiving afternoon. A few of us were asked to go back to the parking lot to unload cases of bottled water. I would be lying if I denied glancing at my car to make sure it was still in one piece.
Salads and bombs
Back inside, we donned green aprons and clear plastic gloves and began finding ways to be useful. I shook hands with a man named Joe, and we started taking salads to the 100-plus people waiting in the dining area. As others began plating the hot food so it could be taken to the round tables at 5 p.m., Joe and I tried to stay one step ahead with the salads.
There was no group prayer, but several groups said grace at their tables as food was placed in front of them.
Along one wall, a gigantic Mitsubishi television (surely they do not make them like that anymore; with wheels and a steering column, it could pass for a Fiat) showed continuous coverage of the bombings at the Boston Marathon. The plumes of smoke were shown on a nonstop loop, but few of the people in the room were paying attention; they were there to eat.
As I placed small plastic foam bowls of salad in front of everyone, I tried to determine if there were any such thing as a composite of how "homeless" people look. I had no way of knowing who in the crowd was homeless and who just needed a good meal, but the mind goes where it goes, and that was the broad stroke, unjustified label in my head.
What do hungry, homeless people look like? They are white. They are black. They are Latino. They are men. They are women. They are thin. They are fat. Some are clean in nice clothes. Some are not clean and wear worn clothes. Some are polite and smile and say "Thank you." Some are sullen and withdrawn and demanding. It wasn't much different from navigating a crowd at a Mud Hens game. If the Cherry Street Mission diners were transplanted to Fifth Third Field, most of them could walk the concourse and blend right in.
I wish I could have sat at each table and collected stories, drawing sadness and loss from each person like a pain eater. References to Christ surrounded the diners, and while the group from St. Michael's embodied His mission, I wondered how much comfort that would provide the guests as their bellies emptied and they sought their next meal.
Seconds and thirds
I did notice patterns of behavior. The older the diner was, the more likely that person was to express thanks for the hot food. The younger the recipient was, the more likely that person was to skirt civility, demanding an extra salad or bottle of water. It was clear there was plenty of food on hand, so I took extra salads to those who asked.
As soon as salads were served, we started helping serve plates of hot food. The St. Michael's volunteers were lined up at the serving window to take two plates at a time to the tables, but I did not notice their organized approach at first and just clumsily went to the window to grab plates and take them out.
As plates were cleared, Carlton and other volunteers began walking through the room with ice cream sundae cups, vanilla with either chocolate or strawberry topping; they carried small wooden spoons in plastic wrappers.
The crowd was enthusiastic for the hot food, but the reception for the ice cream was intense. Hands flew in the air and people surrounded the men handing out the plastic cups as if they were dispensing cash money. It occurred to me that ice cream of any kind must be a rare treat for the Cherry Street Mission diners, and I was impressed that the Mondays at Mike's group had thought about that.
A few latecomers were served, and then a Cherry Street Mission manager called for attention and asked who wanted seconds. Two-dozen hands went up, so we began a second wave of serving. One man had a young girl in a stroller, a pretty girl about 3 years old; I offered to bring him extra food but he waved me off, spoonfeeding her ice cream as he finished his chicken and potatoes.
On the antique Mitsubishi, plumes of smoke exploded over and over; people scattered, over and over.
The guests began to leave. Many of them resumed their silent vigil in the parking lot, sentries to the creeping decay of urban desolation. Where the rest of the people went, I cannot say.
Cleaning up
As the flurry of activity in the kitchen subsided, cleanup began. We cleared plates, wiped down tables, stacked chairs and swept the floor. As guests left, many stopped to offer a thank you and ask if this group was hosting any other dinners in the near future. Some went to the kitchen serving window and asked for aluminum foil to wrap up leftovers; a few asked for third servings and scraped the food directly into small black containers to take with them.
The Mondays at Mike's men worked hard and were obviously happy to serve, but there was a gravity to their countenances; it was clear there was a great deal of introspection going on and a great many blessings were being silently counted.
The entire process took less than two hours, a very small karma offering for the many blessings and good things in life. I thanked Carlton for the opportunity to help, dropped my gloves in the trash and put my apron with the other used ones in a brown grocery bag.
I walked out of the kitchen building, as dozens of people milled around in the parking lot. The area surrounding the kitchen building, that shocking ring of abandoned, crumbling buildings, did not look any more pleasant as dusk settled. Just blocks away, thousands of people were taking their seats for a baseball game in a well-maintained stadium, comfortable with plastic cups of beer and overflowing handfuls of popcorn and hot dogs.
I looked around to see if Doug needed a ride back to the 17th Street mission, but I did not see him, and I did not dawdle.
I would be lying if I denied feeling relieved when I was safely in my car, man and machine in one piece.
The guests were unknown and invisible to me before I served them food. As I scurried back to the comfort of my suburban home, I knew their faces and stories were already fading from the forefront of my mind.
I drove home, listening to news reports from Boston. I had not eaten in several hours, but I was not hungry.
A reporter on the radio said an 8-year-old boy had been killed in the Boston Marathon blasts, moments after hugging his father, who had just finished the great race. My overwhelmed mind conjured the image of a shattered, lifeless body — with the face of the pretty little girl I had tried to get extra food to.
I thought I might stop and get an ice cream treat for our little boys — one more blessing in a life overflowing with them. O

Opening a Bank Account in Qatar
What you will need:
A copy of your passport
A letter from your employer detailing your monthly base salary (or letter from your sponsor)
A letter from the bank to take back to your employer stating that you have opened an account and that they have no objection to your employer putting money in.
How to open an account:
Opening a bank account is a relatively simple process, especially if you choose one of the main banks in Qatar (QNB, Commercial Bank, Bank of Doha, Arab Bank or HSBC). You first need a letter from your employer (or sponsor) detailing your base salary and that they are happy for you to open a bank account.
You simply take this letter, along with your passport (and a copy of your passport) to the bank of your choice.
You are generally able to open an account on the spot (see account choices below), and will get given a card and associated paperwork.
The bank then needs to provide you with a letter to give back to your employer, detailing that they are happy to accept your salary.
That's it!.
Note: If you have your Residential Permit then you will not be required to bring your passport.
Types of Accounts (what is the different between bank accounts)
Current Account: This is an everyday banking account. Generally no fees, and many if not unlimited transactions. Most banks have a minimum balance required, otherwise fees are charged. The minimum balance for a QNB account is 3000 QAR
Saving Account: The savings account earns a higher rate of interest that the current account however; there are fees for transactions once they reach a certain number. There is also a higher minimum balance required. For a QNB account it is 5000 QAR.
Fixed Deposit Account: As its name suggests is an account where you keep money in that you are not planning to take out. The minimum balance is 20,000 QAR and there are set monthly payments that can be made it. As a reward for keeping a larger amount of money in the account you earn a higher rate of interest.
When first opening a bank account, the current account is best. As you have just arrived in Qatar you can open the account with no deposit and wait for your first pay to keep a minimum of 3000 QAR. There also seem to be no fees if you drop below the 3000 QAR for the first few months. Once you get things set up you can set up a savings account.
Key points to note when choosing a bank account and general Frequently Asked Questions.
Same bank as your employer: It is beneficial to open up a bank account at the same bank your employer banks with. This makes payments and processes a lot quicker, and can save a lot of headaches.
Changing banks: The letter from the bank to your employer, details that you cannot change banks without the approval of the bank you have opened your account with. This means it may be difficult to change banks and have your employer put money into a different bank account in the future.
ATM Machine swallowing your card: When this happens the cards are either sent back to the branch where you opened an account, or to the head office branch. It is best to call their call centre (tel: 440 7777) to find out where it has gone.
International Transfers: The majority of current bank accounts can be set up for International Transfers. Transfers are done one of two ways, either via the Internet (you can set up an account to send the money to) or over the counter. Generally, the Internet is the best option as the fees are around 35 QAR as opposed to 60 QAR for an over the counter transaction. The drawback for the Internet is that it can take 24-48 hours to set up the account (the bank call you to approve it).
The call centers: To be honest the call centers are not always that helpful. It is often best to go into a branch to ask questions – there is often a quicker response.

So much for Mitt Romney being an out of touch patrician…
Turns out reports that he plans to quadruple the size of his California mansion are so much hooey, according to a quite sympathetic Joe McQuaid of the New Hampshire Union Leader:
It is tough to deal with stereotypes. One about Romney is that he is stiff with people. A new one is that he is being "rude'' with some voters. An old one is that he is the rich guy in the race.
He may be making progress on the stiffness. And the times I have seen him deal with hecklers, he has been pleasant, but persistent. He makes no bones about making a lot of money in the private sector.
Still, I asked him, why give the media and political foes raw meat right now by filing for permits to tear down a La Jolla, Calif., beach house and quadruple its size? That was the wire story we had run the day before, and it was all over the Internet.
It's not accurate, Romney said, simply. The application he made, two years ago, was to double the living space by turning one story into two. The "quadrupling'' was a measurement of added nonliving space, including a basement and garage.
Well that clears THAT up.

Zak Pelaccio's Crispy Pork and Watermelon Salad
There's a reason this Crispy Pork and Watermelon Salad is the signature dish at Zak Pelaccio's Fatty Crab restaurants. It highlights the best of Pelaccio's cooking style, combining his love of Southeast Asian flavors with an irreverent American lean. Not too many so-called salad recipes begin with slow braising pork belly, but that's kind of the best part of this one. More

The small white flowers bloom on tiered panicles from August through October, then drop off, leaving clusters of bright red sepals. The tree is typically multi-stemmed, all the better to show off the strips of white and tan exfoliating bark through the winter months.

Welcome to a world that's literally flooded with beauty products and skin care treatments. Among the deluge of anti-wrinkle creams, you'll find one called Jevene. This topical treatment was developed by one Dr. Santimoy Banerjee PHD, who is a scientist that received training from Harvard University. Similar to several other ant-aging products out there today, Jevene is claimed to produce a similar effect to Botox injections, but naturally without the undesirable needle pangs. The end result may potentially be fewer wrinkles, a more youthful radiance and generally smoother skin.
So many individuals seek out alternatives to "invasive" or "drastic" cosmetic procedures like Botox or facelifts. Well, Jevene "The Essence of Youth" cream endeavors to be one of these alternatives. This anti-wrinkle cream is directed to be massaged into the face daily in order to produce the desired results. Key active ingredients incorporated into Jevene cream are Vitamin E (heals skin), Jojoba Oil (conditions and nourishes facial skin), Retinol (assists with skin cell turnover) and three different Hydroxy Acids (helps to slough away dead skin cells). Jevene is primarily geared toward mature or older women, and aims to assist them with achieving a more youthful and radiant complexion. Results may be seen in as little as a few weeks time. A single jar of Jevene topical cream appears to sell for around $90.
Product Details
Jevene is essentially a topical cream that's applied daily to facial skin to potentially aid the user with skin concerns like fine lines, collagen loss, the removal of dead skin cells, crow's feet, expression creases and skin firming. It doesn't appear that there is a 100% money-back guarantee provided with Jevene. Before and after photos are not presented where this cream is sold. Furthermore, the official website seems to be non-functional at this time.
All ingredients found in Jevene cream are as follows: Aloe Vera, Aluminum Silicate, Ascorbic Acid, BHT, Cetereth-20, Cetyl Alcohol, DI Water, Dimethicone, EDTA, Emulsifying Wax, Fragrance, Germab EN, Glyceryl Monosterate, Glycolic Acid, Jojoba Oil, Lactic Acid, Mineral Oil, Octyl Methoxycinnamate, PEG-40 Sterate, PPG2 Myristyl Propionate, Salicylic Acid, Selenium, Sodium Borate, Vitamin A, Vitamin E, and Xanthium Gum.
The Good
- Some customer testimonials are provided online for Jevene cream.
- Some moisturizing ingredients like Vitamin E and Jojoba Oil are offered in this ant-wrinkle cream.
- All ingredients for Jevene cream are presented online.
The Bad
- The official website for Jevene doesn't appear to be functional at this time.
- Before and after photos are not offered to support the claims made regarding Jevene cream.
- Users will have to pay around $90 for a single jar of Jevene.
- Not all ingredients found in Jevene cream will be suitable for all users (may cause some irritation in certain users).
The Bottom Line
Like so many other anti-wrinkle creams, Jevene makes a decent argument for why their product will be effective in the battle against time. On the up side, Jevene cream does utilize well-known ingredients like Retinol and Hydroxy Acids to potentially assist with wrinkle reduction and skin cell turnover. However, it may not be reassuring to some individuals to see that the official website is currently down. Also, there doesn't appear to be any guarantee with Jevene cream.

Chael Sonnen Ranks Jon Jones as "Considerably Better" Than Anderson Silva
During a pre-UFC 159 conference call Monday, Chael Sonnen resumed a familiar tune by once again belittling UFC middleweight champion, Anderson Silva. During the call, Sonnen insisted that his upcoming opponent, UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones, is a better fighter than Silva.
"I don't think they're close," Sonnen remarked about the two champions. "I think Jones is considerably better than Anderson."
Anderson Silva, of course, holds two victories over Chael Sonnen. The first was a fifth round submission victory via triangle choke in what was one of the best comebacks in combat sports; the second was a second round TKO from a knee and punches. In both fights, however, Chael Sonnen demonstrated top-level wrestling and even striking that allowed him to control Anderson Silva like no one has before or since.
Seemingly ignoring the outcomes, Sonnen insists that these two fights were victories. He asserted during the call, "I stomped that guy, and you can pick up his little arm as many times as you want and call him the winner, but the fact is that I whipped his ass for 30 minutes. He got to jump on me for less than 30 seconds. He never knocked me down. I fell down. They say Anderson's the best pound-for-pound. He's not the best round-for-round… I doubt anyone on this call even has a 10-8 round. I have three of them. They're all against Anderson Silva. So, if you think Jon and Anderson are even close, I will run through Jon because I ran through Anderson."
Marking his first fight at light heavyweight a number of years, many have questioned Chael's immediate shot at the 205 lb belt. Sonnen insisted that his performances against Anderson Silva warrant this Saturday's title shot.
"Sometimes I hear that I don't deserve this fight, or that I'm not the right guy. But then I hear that Anderson can beat [Jones]. You've got to be kidding me. I stomped Anderson Silva, twice."
Of course, Chael Sonnen's brash statements are only logical. If he defeats Jon Jones on Saturday, these comparisons will serve to aggrandize the feat of winning. If Jones wins, then Sonnen will take a loss to a fighter he says is better than the man almost everyone believes is the best in the world.
UFC 159 airs live on Pay Per View this Saturday, April 27 at 7pm PT.

There he goes in everyone's head again racing through our brains. I swear I believe he should be our ambassador too North Korea.
I really hope he gets knocked out. About a quarter of the things he says are funny, the rest is just pure crap.
Ddddddd^^^THEN YOUR AS BIG OF A STUPID ASS AS CHAEL IS. GIVE ME AND EVERYONE ELSE A BREAK. LET HIM GET KNOCKED OUT SO HE CAN FINALLY LEAVE. DW HAS MILKED THIS COW AS LONG AS POSSIBLE.
^^All caps dude?!..Sonnen is a fukcing beast and anybody who disagrees is just butthurt over how he treated their idol. Not only did he make Silva lose his composure, but he beat him up like he needs to be. He also showed the blueprint to take Silva out. Weidman will out Sonnen Silva and send him home. You may not like Sonnen's razor wit approach, but he knows how to put it to these guys. Whether you like it or not, the only reason that people like to watch him is too see him BEAT SILVA and now Beat Jones. They may or may not believe he can, but the vast majority WANT TO SEE it happen!!
^^trolling church fatty. how's the American dream treatin' yah? any hate bombs going off in your neighborhood lately?
You are just butthurt cuz your boyfriend got beat up and will get beat up.. It's funny how the ones (you) whining about trolling IS THE BUGGEST TROLL on bjpenn.com. I'm dreamin' of you getting saved!!!
I'm sure I am in your dreams church fatty…
& you can follow your hero Sonnen over to WWE after JBJ makes a joke out of him…where clowns like you belong. KABOOM!
I recall he lost both matches to Anderson Silva so u need to stop feeling so pittyfull n just realize that he's not the man!! These matches are about the win, not how many rounds u win unless it goes to decision!!!
Of course Sonnen ranks Jones higher, Sonnen pummeled Silva for 30 minutes. Doesn't matter, Silva won't fight GSP or Jones. Like Fedor, he is to busy hiding behind his legacy to take a real fight.

In Flash Professional CS5 Essential Training, author Todd Perkins explains the fundamentals of Flash Professional CS5, the industry standard for creating animations and interactive applications for the web, desktop, and mobile devices. This course starts with the basics, such as using the drawing tools to create simple animations, and progresses to automating animation with tweens and adding interactivity with ActionScript. This course also covers how to add sound and video to projects, enhance realism with effects like easing, and publish a project to a variety of platforms. Exercise files are included.
Flash CS5 ships with Adobe Media Encoder CS5. This application allows you to encode video that you can then bring into Flash and display in the Flash Player. So let's take a look at how to bring video into Flash and to encode it in a format that Flash can use. To bring in a video file, you can either click and drag a file into the Render Queue or you can click the Add button in the Media Encoder. Here I'll browse to my file. I'll select Clip11-tahoe.mp4.
So I'll click Open and the file is then put in there. So I can choose which file format I want to use. For the Format, I'll click the dropdown. and I can either choose H.264, which Flash can understand, or FLV | F4V. FLV and F4V are video formats designed for Flash. F4V is video designed for Flash use. that uses the H.264 codec. So let's choose FLV | F4V.
From there, I can choose the Preset. When I click the dropdown menu, I can choose several different presets. I'm going to choose F4V - Match Source Attributes (Medium Quality). From here, I can click the Settings button to fine-tune my output file. To preview your output file, click the Output tab. Here you can trim and crop your output file. You can adjust the format and the preset, and you can choose a variety of other options including adding cue points.
For right now, all the default settings worked for me. So I'm just going to click OK, but you can feel free to experiment with this menu and get your video files encoded exactly how you want. So I'll click OK. To start encoding my video, I'll click Start Queue. Flash then encodes the video for me and that's it. By default, the file is in the same directory as my original file and everything is good to go.

Bryce Darnell begins his eighth season as head coach at Missouri Southern. He was named the third head baseball coach in Southern baseball history on May 22, 2007. Darnell succeeded coach Warren Turner who retired after 31 years at Southern, including 852 wins and two NCAA Division II College World Series appearances. In seven years, Darnell has a career record of 196-171.
The 2014 season saw the highest-ever draft pick to come out of Missouri Southern when Logan Moon was selected by the Kansas City Royals in the sixth round of the Major League Baseball draft in June. Moon was assigned to the Burlington (NC) Royals rookie league team and proceeded to set the Appalachian League on fire upon his arrival. He went on to set a team record for hits and won the league batting title. He finished the season by being named the Royals Rookie League Player of the Year.
Moon was one of four Lions to earn All-MIAA honors in 2014. A third-team pick, Moon joined a trio of seniors (Moon, David Reese and Stephen Vaughn), as well as sophomore Payton Walker who earned league honors. Four other Lions were named to the MIAA Academic Honor Roll, as well.
The 2013 season proved to be the best yet for Darnell as the Lionswent 34-22 and won the MIAA Tournament Title with a dramatic walk-off home run from Sam Ryan, giving the Lions a 6-3 win over fifth-ranked Missouri Western. The Lions defeated Western twice during that tournament and had three complete game wins from the pitching staff on the way to the win.
Southern finished the 2012 season 32-19 and the Lions were 23-17 in the MIAA, good enough for a third place finish in the league. Although the season ended with a defeat in the first round of the MIAA Tournament, the year was full of plenty of highs. The Lions started the year 11-0 and jumped into the National Poll at No. 24. After moving their record to 15-1, the Lions moved all the way up to No. 11 in Division II. The Lions finished the year batting .310 as a team and had a 3.74 team ERA. Southern also broke a school record for fielding percentage finishing the year with a .962 average.
The Lions had six players named All-MIAA in 2011 as Dallas Burke was a first-team selection at utility after splitting time at catcher, outfield and designated hitter. Both Jesse Kinzey and Dane Kolkmeyer were second-team selections, while newcomers Brett Abell and Cody Griebling picked up honorable mention status after anchoring the Lions' pitching staff. Senior Patrick Deao was also named an honorable mention pick after he led the Lions with eight outfield assists this year and was tied for the team lead with five home runs and 60 hits. Southern finished just a half game out of the hunt for an MIAA Tournament bid at 24-26 overall.
The 2010 Missouri Southern baseball team continued its resurgence under coach Bryce Darnell and made the MIAA post season tournament for the second-straight year. The Lions had their second-straight winning record with a 28-26 mark and finished third in the MIAA Tournament, losing out to eventual Division II World Series participant Central Missouri. Southern also set a school record for home runs in a season (64) beating the previous mark of 51.
The Lions had, at one time, the toughest schedule in Division II, but fought through a rough 3-14 start to go 14-5 over its next 19 games and finished the regular season as the fifth seed in the MIAA Tournament. Southern had four players named All-MIAA and two were named All-Region with senior shortstop Jacob Taylor picking up All-American honors. Junior catcher Joe Lincoln was drafted in the 34th round of the Major League Baseball draft by the Los Angeles Dodgers and both Taylor and fellow senior CJ Maffei signed professional contracts, as well.
Darnell's second season saw a dramatic turnaround that led to the Lions finishing 35-20 overall, third place in the MIAA and the program's first trip to the MIAA Tournament since 2002. The Lions, throughout the course of the year, saw such highs including taking three out of four games from eventual national runner up Emporia State and shutting out Central Missouri twice in the same season, a feat that has rarely, if ever, been accomplished.
The Lions had eight players named All-MIAA and both CJ Maffei and Skyler Rawlins were named All-Region. The team won its first game at the MIAA Tournament and was in contention for an NCAA Regional berth all season. Coming into this year, both Maffei and Rawlins have been tabbed pre-season All-Americans.
Darnell's first season as the head coach at his alma mater saw
the team improve in wins, both overall and in conference play, and
saw the young Lions squad play one of the most difficult schedules
in NCAA Division II. The team won 16 games in MIAA play, including
an exciting 3-2 win over MIAA Champ and Division II World Series
Participant Central Missouri.
A 1997 graduate of Missouri Southern, Darnell had been the head baseball coach at Webb City High School for eight years, while also teaching social studies at the school. His baseball teams at Webb City won two Missouri Class 3 State Championships. Darnell amassed a 160-43 career record at Webb City and was the Joplin Globe Coach of the Year in 2002 and 2005, while being named the Missouri Class 3 Coach of the Year in 2005 and 2006.
A three-year player for the Lions from 1994-1996, Darnell transferred to Southern after a year at the University of Minnesota. A Brooklyn Center, Minn. native, Darnell was a three-sport athlete at BCHS being named all-state in baseball and football, as well as all-conference in basketball. Darnell played for his father, Doug, at BCHS. Doug Darnell was also the Athletic Director at BCHS.
Darnell hit .436 in 30 games as a sophomore for the Lions in 1994, which is the sixth highest batting average in a season at Southern. He was named honorable mention All-MIAA that year. He had his best season in 1995, helping the Lions to a 43-13 record, including a 17-3 mark in MIAA play. He hit .364 that year with 13 doubles, three homers and 47 RBIs en route to being named first-team all-region and all-MIAA. The Lions were second in the MIAA Postseason Tournament and made an appearance in the NCAA Division II Central Region Tournament.
Darnell's senior season saw the catcher hit .339 with 20 doubles, four homers and 48 RBIs in 55 games. The 20 doubles is fifth all-time in a season at Southern. He was named honorable mention all-MIAA that year. Darnell was drafted after his junior season in the 40th round of the Major League Baseball Draft by the St. Louis Cardinals. He was later drafted after his senior season in the 58th round by the Arizona Diamondbacks. He played in 1996 for the Visalia Oaks, a single A affiliate of the Diamondbacks.
Darnell's .577 on base percentage as a sophomore ranks third in a season, while his .996 fielding percentage (1 error) in 1995 is second all-time. He ranks seventh in career doubles with 40, while ranking sixth in batting average (.366) and seventh in fielding percentage
He holds a degree in Secondary Education from Missouri Southern (1997), as well as a Masters in Educational Administration from Missouri State University (2000).
Darnell has a wife, Pamela and two children, Darcy (13), and Cy (10).

ELDORADO, Texas (AP) - Women and girls in prairie-style dresses
today entered the Schleicher County courthouse as a grand jury
opened its investigation of a polygamist sect.
Security was heavy in Eldorado.
Sect members have denied allegations that underage girls were
forced into marriage and motherhood.
Child Protective Services in early April raided the group's
ranch, removing several hundred youngsters.
The Texas Supreme Court later ruled the children must be
returned to their parents.
The Associated Press reports one subpoenaed witness is a
16-year-old girl who denies state claims that she was married off
at 15 and had a child soon after. She's asked for a new lawyer.

Yelp issues consumer alert for businesses paying for reviews
Yelp says La Mesa store offers to pay for 5 stars
SAN DIEGO - Review website Yelp is warning people about businesses it says tries to pay people for five-star reviews.
Elijah Rasmussen checked out a crepe place on the popular online review site after getting burned not using it.
"There have been a couple places I wish I would have looked up before going," said Rasmussen.
Another San Diego diner, Banu Pawleke, told Team 10 she uses Yelp every day "to check out the pictures and the food."
Yelp said 108 million people use the site or mobile app every month.
"The overall rating is usually dead on," said Pawleke.
Unless the businesses are logging on and writing their own fake reviews to give themselves a higher rating.
"Usually, it's a long review and everything is perfect and heavenly and sugarcoated," Pawleke said about reading reviews she suspected of being fake.
Vince Sollitto, Vice President of Corporate Communications at Yelp, said the company found Discount Mattresses and Furniture on La Mesa Boulevard in La Mesa doing this.
"This business created a dozen or so accounts on Yelp from the same IP address -- their IP address -- which they used to create fake reviews of their own business," Sollitto said.
Sollitto said the business then used those accounts to message people on Yelp offering to "pay $25 by PayPal or mail for a five star vote for my business."
He added, "It violates guidelines from the federal government. The FTC has been very clear that paid testimonials must be disclosed because this is misleading and deceiving to consumers."
Yelp put a "Consumer Alert" warning over the reviews for the business to let users know what happened, and Sollitto said Yelp does this for any business they believe is doing the same thing.
Team 10 tried to contact Discount Mattresses and Furniture for a comment over several days, but so far, the requests have gone unanswered.
Yelp says the "Consumer Alert" is one more tool the site is using to police the site.
Yelp uses an automated algorithm that filters out some reviews, so only 75 percent of reviews are highlighted for businesses.
People have complained about that filter system, but Yelp maintains the algorithm works.

Cinco de Mayo Celebration at
Market Square
For more than 100 years, the fifth of May has been a day to celebrate Mexican culture. Today there is perhaps no single day in which Latino culture is more visible in the United States.
Even those who have never felt a Spanish word pass through their lips herald the day as Cinco de Mayo. While many may not know the holiday's origins, everyone can understand its value. We break down the holiday's significance and history.
Battle of Puebla
Mexico was a troubled country in 1862. The French and British had been stationed in Veracruz to collect tariffs from the Mexican government under Benito Juarez.
After the 1848 Mexican-American War and a Mexican civil war from 1857-62, Mexico could not repay its foreign debts. Across the Atlantic, Napoleon III of France fancied a Mexican Empire. Naturally, he invaded.
However, he was stopped during his march to Mexico City, at least for a while, at the Battle of Puebla on Cinco de Mayo.
Then and now
Initial celebrations of Cinco de Mayo honored the Mexican victory at Puebla, however, through the years the holiday — only regionally celebrated in Mexico — has taken on a new, expanded meaning.
University of the Incarnate Word history professor Gilberto Hinojosa says Cinco de Mayo is an occasion to celebrate Mexican culture without a link to Mexican nationality.
Hence, the holiday is for everyone, not just one group — not unlike St. Patrick's Day, typically associated with Ireland but celebrated universally in the United States. Behind the brightly clad partygoers and margaritas, Cinco de Mayo provides a day of unity, and today there are more reasons to celebrate than ever.
In a 2012 study, the Pew Research Hispanic Center referred to the Hispanic electorate as "an awakened giant."
Latino politicians, including San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro, are finding themselves at center stage more often, and on both sides of the aisle. Whether conservative or liberal, the Latino voice is more audible than ever.
Celebrating culture
Even though the Battle of Puebla was 151 years ago, the evolution of Cinco de Mayo has made the holiday more relevant than ever, especially in a nation with an exploding Latino population growing in both size and influence at every level.
"It is a holiday for everyone," Hinojosa says. "I'm always interested in how culture is constructed. People use holidays to build identity, to create a sense of unity."

EDITORIAL: Post-9/11 America not nearly secure as it may seem
In the aftermath of 9/11, the public perception was that there was a massive increase in security all across the board: federal, state and local. Except for the federal government, that was largely illusory. In some areas, we are less protected than we were before 9/11.
True, the number of federal security jobs has skyrocketed, up 377 percent in the last decade. According to the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, the federal security payroll grew from 20,704 in September 2001 to more than 98,000 as of last March. A big part of that increase was the creation of the Department of Homeland Security and its Transportation Security Administration.
But combined security employment — federal, state, local and private — increased just 5 percent between 2000 and 2010 while the population was growing at around 10 percent. That's because federal hiring was more than offset by a decrease in local and state police and private security guards.
For example, according to a Scripps Howard News Service analysis, California had 8,400 fewer security employees in 2010 than 2000. In New York, the number of security jobs declined by 15,000, including 4,220 fewer police, over the same period. And these are two of our largest and, certainly in the case of New York, most at-risk states.
Because of the struggling economy, that discrepancy is likely to grow as state and local governments try to shrink their work forces, including law enforcement, and private-sector hiring remains anemic.
For the foreseeable future, the federal government is going to consume the lion's share of the security dollar. Government security experts admit they can't protect everything and everyone.
Said DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano: "We know we'll never eliminate all risk. I'm not providing any guarantees for the country. But we can minimize risk and maximize our opportunity to stop something, and that's what we've done."
Economically, the Department of Homeland Security may have maxed out the amount it can spend to minimize risk, especially if those across-the-board budget cuts go through. DHS will spend $56 billion this year.
Finally, most security experts might agree that their first and best line of defense also is the cheapest: an alert American public.
Quick-thinking citizens have thwarted an attempted car bombing in Times Square and an attempt to detonate a bomb aboard a Detroit-bound airliner by a young Nigerian Muslim, Umar Farouk Abdulmuttalab. And then, of course, there was the infamous shoe bomber, Robert Reid, who was subdued on a Miami-bound airplane in December 2001 by passengers, among them former University of Evansville basketball player Kwame James.
As the airport sign says: If you see something, say something.

Follow Oregon State Wrestlling on: Twitter | Facebook
Corvallis, Ore. – The No. 17 Oregon State wrestling team travels to Palo Alto to compete in the Pac-12 Wrestling Championships on Sunday.
The Beavers finished the regular season with a steady 11-7 dual record. After going 2-1 at the National Duals, defeating No. 20 North Dakota State and No. 18 Illinois, the Beavs are looking to extend their success into the tournament.
Oregon State wrestlers are no strangers to the Pac-12 Tournament, having claimed the last two consecutive championships, giving them back-to-back Pac-12 titles. Within those two conference titles, the Beavs have also seen seven individual champions, including returners Scott Sakaguchi (149), RJ Pena (157), and Taylor Meeks (197). Pena and Meeks collected their Pac-12 crowns in the 2011-12 season, while Meeks earned his title in 2012-13.
In order to ensure an automatic berth into the NCAA Tournament, a wrestler must win his weight class at Pac-12's. Each conference across the country receives a certain amount of allocations per weight class, the Pac-12 earning 17 this year. The conference allocations are as follows:Atlantic Coast Conference: 34
Big 12 Conference: 24
Big Ten Conference: 74
Eastern Collegiate Wrestling Association: 47
Eastern Wrestling League: 22
Mid-American Conference: 41
Pac-12 Conference: 17
Southern Conference: 16
West Regional: 15
Furthermore, each weight class is then broken down and given a particular amount of tournament seeds. The Pac-12 weight class distributions are as follows:125: 1
133: 3
141: 1
149: 1
157: 1
165: 1
174: 3
184: 2
197: 2
285: 2
Meaning, that in five out of ten weight classes a wrestler will to need to win the Pac-12 Tournament to earn an automatic berth.
After the original seeds are determined, the NCAA D1 Wrestling Committee will meet to select the remaining 40 at-large bids, which will be announced March 12. These at-large bids are determined based on head-to-head competition, qualifying event placement, quality wins, results against common opponents, winning percentage, RPI, coaches ranking, and the number of matches contested at that weight class.
But first, the Beavers need to focus on their individual matchups at the Pac-12 Tournament, taking it one dual at a time. After all, that is the easiest and only sure fire way to earn an automatic berth to NCAA's.
After altering the starting lineup towards the end of the regular season, Oregon State Head Coach Jim Zalesky seems to have found his core group of guys. Oregon State's projected lineup:(Ranking: The Open Mat/InterMat)
125: Pat Rollins
133: Joey Palmer
141: Joey Delgado
149: No. 9/12 Scott Sakaguchi
157: No. 9/11 RJ Pena
165: Toney Chay
174: Joe Latham
184: Austin Morehead
197: No. 10/9 Taylor Meeks
285: No. 19/17 Amarveer Dhesi
The Pac-12 Tournament takes place this Sunday at Stanford. Session one begins at 10:30 a.m., followed by session two at 3:30 p.m. and the finals at 5 p.m. The tournament concludes with team and individual awards at 7 p.m. Session one and session two will be available to watch via live video streams at each mat:

Mat 2 - http://pac-12.com/videos/stanford-university-live-2

SANS NewsBites
SANS NewsBites is a semiweekly high-level executive summary of the most important news articles that have been published on computer security during the last week. Each news item is very briefly summarized and includes a reference on the web for detailed information, if possible.
Spend five minutes per week to keep up with the high-level perspective of all the latest security news. New issues are delivered free every Tuesday and Friday.
@RISK: The Consensus Security Alert
@RISK provides a reliable weekly summary of (1) newly discovered attack vectors, (2) vulnerabilities with active new exploits, (3) insightful explanations of how recent attacks worked, and other valuable data
A key purpose of the @RISK is to provide the data that will ensure that the 20 Critical Controls (the US and UK benchmark for effective protection of networked systems) continue to be the most effective defenses for all known attack vectors. But since it is also valuable for security practitioners, SANS is making it available to the 145,000 security practitioners who have completed SANS security training and others at their organizations who hope to stay current with the offensive methods in use.
Wow! This is the first security awareness document that our users really like! Thank you, SANS
That note came from the CISO of an 8,000 employee organization. OUCH! is the first consensus monthly security awareness report for end users.
It shows them what to look for and how to avoid phishing and other scams plus viruses and other malware -- using the latest attacks as examples. It also provides pointers to great resources like the amazing Phishing Self-Test. 460 organizations, large and small, helped make it a useful service. More than 100 security officers check each issue for accuracy, and readability before it is distributed to the community.
If you want to distribute OUCH to all your users you may either forward it or subscribe a single address that is a mailing list.

OTTAWA -- Not only is our Conservative government denying democracy, they are also denying climate change – a global crisis that has been accepted by more than 99% of scientists worldwide. A staff member for Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock Conservative MP Barry Devolin was exposed this week as a climate change denier by concerned citizen and former provincial Green Party candidate Doug Smith. Okanagan-Shuswap MP Colin Mayes sent emails to his constituents questioning the scientific consensus on climate change. Huguette Allen, Green Party candidate in the riding has since challenged him to a debate. She has yet to get an answer.
Green Leader Elizabeth May is demanding some answers. "We have a Conservative Party staffer accusing the UN of being communist socialists and a Conservative MP questioning the work of the world's scientists. The Canadian people deserve a clear and unequivocal answer - What is the party's view on climate science?"
The Conservative Party has a history of anti-science bias. In a 2002 fundraising letter for the Alliance Party, Stephen Harper called the Kyoto Protocol a socialist scheme that unfairly targeted carbon dioxide, which he said is "essential to life." In 2006, in a response to a questionnaire from the Montreal Economic Institute, the Conservative Party admitted that it did not accept Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) science and as a first act in government, the Conservatives pulled IPCC science off the Environment Canada website. They then eliminated the position of National Science Advisor and appointed a Science Minister who doesn't believe in evolution.
"Do Mayes and the Peterborough staffer actually represent the real position of the Harper government -- unchanged since 2002 as the Alliance Party? What exactly is guiding government policy if not science?" asked May.
Furthermore, Greens say the economic slant given by the Harper government to the climate change issue is false and misleading. Allen says, "While the International Energy Agency says every year's delay in climate action costs the world one half trillion dollars in damages, the Conservative government continues to pour billions of dollars propping up dead and dying industries like the tar sands that harm Canadians' health, economy, and security."
"This anti-science bias of the Conservative government is just another example of how out of step they are with Canadians," said May. "They can try to hide by proroguing but in the end the citizens will have the last word."

Is it possible to update ESET Smart Security/ESET NOD32 Antivirus without Internet access?KB Solution ID: SOLN308|Last Revised: October 01, 2014
To manually update your ESET security product on a computer that does not have Internet access, it must be configured to retrieve updates from another computer that does have Internet access. On a network, the computer connected to the Internet would periodically download updates from ESET and then be accessed as a Mirror server by the other computers on the network. You can create a mirror server using an ESET client; for instructions to do so, see our Knowledgebase article.

Serious Beer: Tasting Belgian Dubbels
You shouldn't look at a twelve-ounce bottle of Belgian dubbel and think, "For that much money, I could practically get a six pack of my regular beer." It depends on your priorities (and your regular beer), but this week's tasting convinced me that a single goblet of Belgian dubbel is an experience well worth the expense. More

Leading up to the NFL Draft, Sporting News writers will debate one key belief for each team.
The belief: The Jaguars will draft another defensive lineman with their first-round pick.
Skeptic: Russ Lande
Why we don't believe: There is concern about Aaron Kampman being 100 percent for the 2011 season, but sources tell us the veteran defensive end will be at least close. With young defensive ends Austen Lane and Larry Hart (both of whom the Jaguars are very high on), Jacksonville would like to get more talent at other positions. Additionally, with the depth on the defensive line in this draft, the Jags could address a bigger need in the first round.
What we believe instead: The Jaguars will lean toward drafting a wide receiver or cornerback in the first round. While Mike Sims-Walker has flashed big-play ability and production, he has struggled with consistency and is the Jaguars only established receiver. There is little doubt that if Julio Jones slid to them at No. 16, they would jump all over him. The Jaguars might take a shot at Leonard Hankerson or Randall Cobb. Also, they could look to upgrade their secondary. Cornerbacks Ras-I Dowling and Jimmy Smith could end up being their pick. If the Jags feel comfortable with Smith's off-field questions, he would be an excellent choice. Smith has as much physical talent as any CB in this year's draft.
What else we believe: We believe that in the third or fourth round, the Jaguars will invest a draft pick on a young, developmental quarterback. While they would love to see a QB like Andy Dalton slide to them in the third, that's unlikely. The Jaguars will likely keep their eyes on two or three mid-round QBs who have a chance to develop -¬ Iowa's Ricky Stanzi, Idaho's Nathan Enderle or Delaware's Pat Devlin. None of them is going to get playing time as a rookie, but all three have good physical tools to try and develop.
Believer: Vinnie Iyer
Why we believe: Although Jacksonville shocked many by taking defensive tackle Tyson Alualu No. 10 overall last year, he turned out to be a solid pick to help in its rebuilding of the defensive line That's a good start, but now the Jaguars need to look the outside of their front four and get a strong pass-rushing end who can also hold up on running downs. That's especially needed with the health and future of Kampman being so uncertain.
What else we believe: The Jaguars will choose to go end over tackle in '11 after taking Alualu in '10. Although Purdue's Ryan Kerrigan is on the rise, the consensus top two 4-3 ends are Clemson's Da'Quan Bowers and Cal's Cameron Jordan. There's a chance Bowers slips because of medical concerns (knee), and with the types of teams picking No. 1-15, there's a much stronger possibility Jordan lasts until the middle of the round. The team should end up with one of those three players.
