ATHENS, Ala. (WHNT) – We have an update for you on a story that touched the hearts of people all over the Tennessee Valley and beyond.
It's the story of Ryan Kitchens, a seven-year-old from Athens who has been battling terminal brain cancer for more than a year, while his family stands by him–helpless.
At one point in his journey following extensive surgeries and chemotherapy treatment, doctors declared him cancer-free. But within three months it was back, and the family's finances were gone.
That's when thousands of total strangers stepped in to make a difference.
This week of Thanksgiving, we went to see how Ryan and his family are doing and found the love and prayers extended to them have given them all heart-warming strength–especially Ryan.
Since our story first aired, Ryan has become somewhat of a celebrity, inspiring people all over the world. His mother, Jasmine Davis, has learned how compassionate total strangers can be in the face of what continues to be a cruel predicament for any parent.
In the bright sunshine of Wednesday afternoon in Athens, Ryan darts out of his house and across the street to talk to his friend. Then, he darts back and ducks behind a wooden sign covered with references to his favorite team: the Alabama Crimson Tide football team.
Ryan has been diagnosed with medulloblastoma and was given a prognosis that he doesn't have much time left.
On this day, a casual observer might never know he was sick, as he goofed off like any normal child would do.
"They thought it would be a lot worse right now," said Jasmine Davis, Ryan's mother, talking about his energy as opposed to how doctors predicted he might be fairing by now.
Ryan was first diagnosed in 2011. His family has been by his side, making sacrifices, to the point they had nothing left to give.
His mother's fears over how she would afford to bury her youngest child and only son touched the hearts of thousands of people and moved them to donate more than $40,000 in a matter of weeks for funeral costs.
WHNT NEWS 19's Beth Jett said to Jasmine: "So, you were able to purchase or reserve everything Ryan wanted?" "Yes," said Jasmine. 'He has his Alabama Crimson Tide casket. We had a special company design his headstone and it will be Alabama themed. Everything is ready."
At Ryan's last MRI during the second week of November, doctors warned his health would deteriorate quickly.
The tumors in his brain had doubled in size.
But no surprise to his mother. Ryan wanted to know the details, so she told him.
"Everything is still headed down the same road," said Jasmine. Beth Jett asked, "How was he with that?" Jasmine answered, "He was good. He said 'ok Momma."
Ryan refused an oral chemotherapy that would likely have made him sick to no avail. He told his mother he just wanted to have fun.
"We decided to put it in God's hands and let my baby play," she said.
Ryan's bravery has inspired thousands of people all over the world. That includes his heroes, the coaches and players of the Alabama Crimson Tide football team.
WHNT NEWS 19 delivered two footballs signed by the coaches and the players, a hat, and tickets to the Iron Bowl. They can't wait to go!
The family has been celebrating holidays early, enjoying football games, and went together on his Make-A-Wish trip in a limosine. They're making lots of memories. And Jasmine says she talks to him about Heaven.
"I'm like 'You're gonna be my angel,'" she recalled of a recent conversation with Ryan about what would happen after he was gone. She said she told him, "I might not be able to see you, and can't hear you, but you just keep coming to see me. And he goes, "I will, Mom, I will.""
So the family's needs have been met and they can go into the Thanksgiving holiday giving thanks for every precious moment they have.
Jasmine says she has shared some of the money donated with other families whose children are battling various forms of cancer.
WHNT NEWS 19 would also like to say 'Thank You!" to Alabama football player Barrett Jones for helping get one of those footballs signed by members of the team.
Click on the following links to see raw video of Ryan receiving his gear from Jones as well as an anonymous donor who gave them tickets to the Iron Bowl.

'Happy Hooking – the Art of Anchoring', by Alex and Daria Blackwell, is a very readable book loaded with valuable information on anchoring tackle, technique, tying up and rafting, etiquette, as well as the occasional anecdote - but it's not new. What is new is that the book, the highest selling anchoring book on Amazon, is now available in a Kindle Edition, making it SO easy to transport.
Happy Hooking: The Art of Anchoring
One of the most essential skills for mariners is being able to confidently and safely 'park' their boats. Knowing about anchors, rodes, anchorages and anchoring techniques is a prerequisite for enjoying an evening in a magically beautiful setting as well as getting a good night's sleep while swinging from the hook.
Happy Hooking cover
The type of subjects covered in the book are:
Tackle and Anchor selection
Techniques for Setting the Anchor
Scope, Chafe, Snubbers, Kellets, Trip Lines and More
Anchorage Selection: Charts & Guides, Picking Your Spot, Swing Radius
Setting Two Anchors and Med Mooring
Weighing Anchor
Rafting Technique
Anchoring Etiquette
It is quite different from other titles on the subject, which are either very technical and outdated, or simply don't cover the range of modern anchors that are covered in this book (226 pages, 182 Illustrations)
You should be able to get the paper version of the book at your local marine book store, but if you'd like the Kindle version, go for it now!

Valiant for Truth - Revelation
That God takes a deep interest in food should come as no surprise. He created humans with the need for food. The first and last chapters of Scripture make references to food.
If I asked you the name of Noah's wife, would you answer Joan of Ark? Sadly, many would today. The level of biblical illiteracy today among the professing Christian church is sad. Recently arch-atheist Richard Dawkins commissioned his foundation to survey those who claimed to be Christian in the 2011 census in England.
Statistics can be misleading if they are abstracted from the moment they are calculated. But in that moment, they reveal a glimpse of reality. The well-known church growth leader, George Barna, provides us an opportunity to glimpse at the sad reality of the modern evangelical church as well as our culture. Back in 2000 one survey revealed that 75% of Americans agreed with the statement "God helps those who help themselves." Then in 2005 another survey revealed that 11% of "born-again" Christians said they did not believe the Bible is accurate in all of its teachings.
Is there a place for theistic arguments and evidences in the Reformed theological and apologetical enterprise? Michael Sudduth, in The Reformed Objection to Natural Theology, answers in the affirmative in an irenic, clear, and cogent work devoted to dispelling myths, clarifying positions and salvaging the project of natural theology, which he considers to be a helpful component in Reformed theological and apologetic endeavors.
Human talk about God takes effort. God talking to us takes revelation. In this newest entry from Kevin Vanhoozer, the Wheaton professor guides his readers from God's revelation in Scripture through the primacy of the Triune God as Author to the speaking back of humanity as Heroes, both fallen and Firstborn, faithless failures and faithful Christ.

By MARK AMAZA
THE general belief held by most southerners about the North is that the region is not just mainly Muslim, but wholly Muslim. Whenever I meet someone from the South and introduce myself, I am correctly placed as a Christian. But once I am asked my state and I say Borno State, the next question becomes, 'Are you a Muslim?' This is despite my name being a very common Biblical name, Mark, which is the second Gospel. Matter of fact, I have been asked that question while attending a church programme, with a Bible conspicuously held in my hands. You could imagine my surprise at that question. This has also been the experience of a lot of friends with common names such as 'Emmanuel', 'Daniel', etc.
To start with, out of the 19 Northern states, at least five have a majority Christian population: Plateau, Adamawa, Nasarawa, Taraba and Benue. At least six more have at least 40 per cent Christian population. These states include Niger, Gombe, Kaduna, Kogi, Kwara and either Borno or Bauchi. That then leaves only Kano, Kebbi, Katsina, Jigawa, Sokoto, Yobe and Zamfara as having Muslim populations above 60 per cent. How then are we all seen as Muslims?This misconception could be excused when the person has an Arabic name, as there are many Northern Christians who bear names such as Jamila, Habiba, Halima, Sadiq, and Yunusa and so on. But when the person has an obvious Christian name and even attends church services, you really begin to wonder.
Another common perception of the North is that we are all Hausa. My usual response to this is to borrow the logical argument of Simon Kolawole, the Editor-in-Chief of THISDay Newspapers. In an article in which he attempted to educate his largely southern readership base about the North, he went thus:
"If out of the estimated 250 tribes in Nigeria, we can say that the South-West is mainly Yoruba with a few other tribes around Badagry area, the South-East wholly Igbo and the South-South being most diverse in the South with about 40 tribes, that still leaves the remaining 200 tribes in the North."
How then are we reduced to one single ethnic group, Hausa? It is only the North-West that is close to being homogenous, mainly Hausa and Fulani, but with still some minority tribes in the Zuru area of Kebbi State and the multi-diverse Southern Kaduna. The North-East and North-Central is filled with tribes, many of whom I have never even heard of. For example, Adamawa State is so diverse that the largest ethnic group, the Fulani, is just three per cent of the entire population. In my home state of Borno, there is a local government so diverse that from one village to another, you are likely to meet an entirely different ethnic group. The number of tribes there are so many that we just address the people as 'Gwoza people', after the name of the local government.
Even though we all speak Hausa as a lingua franca in order to communicate amongst ourselves as trading partners over the centuries, that doesn't make us Hausa people as much as communicating English doesn't make you and I English people. As a matter of fact, in the North-East, Hausa people are a minority and virtually non-existent in the North-Central region.
Now, this is one belief that whenever I am confronted with, it takes me a great deal of self-control not to flip out and lose my temper.
Times without number, when I tell people I am from Borno State, I am asked how come I speak such good English. What the hell? What am I supposed to speak? Arabic? The general expectation is that someone from the North is not supposed to be this learned, this well-spoken and articulate in English, this knowledgeable. I remember when a friend asked me if my mother went to school, and the surprised look on his face when I told him that my mum earned her masters' degree over 20 years ago. There was also a time when my dad met someone at the Lagos International Airport and they got talking. When my dad told him his profession, the man, in a fit of surprise, exclaimed, 'I didn't know that there were professors in the North'.
I admit the fact that the North lags behind the South educationally, especially the North-West and the North-East. But this is not due to our inability to comprehend what we are being taught, but rather due to the incompetence of leadership in the region to give education its premium importance as a form of human development. We, like every other human being on the face of this earth, can excel when given the opportunity. Talent and intellect abounds everywhere. Opportunity, however, does not. I personally know of many northerners who have excelled nationally and internationally. Daily, the story of young men like Ahmed Mukoshy, who is born, bred and schooled in Sokoto, and yet, rose above his environment to become one of the emerging forces in IT in this country in his early 20s inspires me. This is just one example among many that I could cite but for the lack of space.
I find it outright disgusting whenever people claim that if not for federal character and 'zoning', no northerner would be able to compete in this country. Last week, I was shocked when a friend said only 10 per cent of northerners in the Federal Civil Service deserved their places on merit, and went on to add that if he had not known me personally and I were to get a job with the Federal Government, he would believe that I did not earn it on merit.
The most ridiculous one I encountered was when earlier this year, former Minister of Finance, Dr Mansur Mukhtar was appointed a World Bank director. Most of the commentators on the 234Next article announcing this achievement for this Nigerian and Nigeria made the ludicrous assertion that the appointment was done to please the North, that Dr Mukhtar did not merit it. Little did they know that Dr Mukhtar had worked at the World Bank and the African Development Bank, prior to his heading Nigeria's Budget Office on the invitation of the then and present Minister of Finance, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and former World Bank Managing Director, who also recommended him for the post of Finance Minister when she rejected former President Umaru Yar'adua's invitation to join his government. What is even worse is that they did not care to know: their minds were already made up and could not be confused with the facts.
Another common belief among southerners and most especially spread by southern newspapers is that the entire 19 Northern states act and think as one when it comes to issues of Northern politics. This is one of the biggest untruths about the North. Whenever northern Nigeria is mentioned, the people of Benue, Kogi and Kwara states do not feel it refers to them. Geographically, they are part of the North; politically, however, they and the entire Middle-Belt act independently. This can be clearly in the last elections where President Goodluck Jonathan won in 7 Northern states, even against his strongest opponent, General Muhammadu Buhari, who is a northerner. This was something I am sure a lot of people in the South, save for the political savvy, did not see coming.
One common sight of this perception being entrenched by newspapers is when politicians of Northern extraction speak on national issues. I have innumerably seen a washed-out Northern politician, without any influence or popularity speak regarding an issue, and the next day, newspapers carry bold headlines saying, 'North rejects this' or 'North plans to do that', quoting the same washed-out politician as speaking for the entire North. I have rarely seen a Bola Tinubu speaking and being quoted as the mouthpiece of the entire Yoruba ethnic group, or a Chief Edwin Clark for the Ijaw people. Methinks this is a way of selling newspapers by capitalizing on the image of the North as one single, political force which moves in a particular direction all-together
Admittedly, as people of the same region, we share a lot in common culturally and socially in the general terms: our mannerisms, modes of dressing, traditional titles (apart from paramount rulers with the exception of emirates), etc. Despite that, the Jukun in Taraba and the Kataf in Kaduna are very different in the specifics, as even the Bura and Marghi people of Borno/Adamawa States. To pick the attitude of one ethnic group in the North and attach it to all the others, is to put it mildly, a very short-sighted way of knowing and understanding the people of Northern Nigeria.
Another belief in the South is that the entire North is but an empty landmass with nothing but trees. I remember the controversy of the 2006 census when Kano State was said to have a slightly higher population than Lagos State. Many of my southern friends called it 'an impossibility'. In the words of one of them, 'Lagos is so populated that when you throw grains of rice into the air, they wouldn't land on the ground, but on people'. However, they all forgot to factor in land mass, because Lagos State is a much smaller state than Kano State, and hence has the highest population density in Nigeria, hence making it look as though it was way more populated.
My brother I share your concern. This info will help if you can broaden it by reproducing same in other papers
Mr Mark you have done well on this write up. I just hope that our southern brothers will read it and understand because I have been a victim of same. But sir, the population of Christians in Kogi State is over 65 per cent. ( please verify it if you wish) forget the political 'outcomes'. Even in Kaduna state the Christian population is more than 50 per cent….. and that was what enable the present Governor to win the last election.
Mr.Attah Ebjie, you got it wrong. Please check your statistics on the percentage to gave.
Mr.Mark,God bless u,infact your have thrown light on the misconeption of our christian souherners about us.To cut long story short,there are some people that bear names like;Musa,Adamu,Ayuba,Samaila Yakubu even Mohammed and are christians from birth,
so the southerners should take note.
Misrepresentation of facts .The xtians are not upto even 10 percent in Bauchi and majority of northern states.
That's true. I have served in Taraba State during my Youth Service (92/93 batch 1), and been to Adamawa, Benue, Nasarawa. In Taraba and Adamawa, the use of the Hausa language is widespread. In Taraba, you never hear them speak Mumuye language (if they have one) being the largest tribe there. The affiliation of the political leaders of the geo-political zone with the Hausa is also a huge factor. Many a time, I educate my friends in the South that the Nasarawa people are not Hausas. People don't believe or just don't understand the difference, even with their conspicuous tribal mark. The best way forward is an affiliation between the middle belt region and the Southern region. I know and have experienced that the youths there are very friendly over there. It's not just a matter of being a Christian, but the nature of the people. While people in the South-South and South East regions live scattered in different parts in any northern city, the Northerners usually live together as if they are xenophobic. This makes it difficult for our people to really interact with them and understand the tribal differences.
brother mark,i would like to print out your article and share it amongst my people here in the south
That is great, thank you Mark. Nigerians need this kind of education on the regions, peoples and ethnic groups of Nigeria. Many Southerns are myopic about their concept of the North and mostly, Norther Christians have been the victims of this mindset. Once you are from the North and speak Hausa there is no convincing that you are not Hausa or 'gambari' (as the South-Westerns will prefer to call them) and muslim. And I guess for the politics of religion in Nigeria, this favours the muslims big time. To demystify this belief, the last national census ought to have allowed Nigerians to indicate their religions in the census data information. That way, everybody would have known whether or not the North is largely muslim and waht percentage of Northerners.

Study by Professor Tahir Andrabi Cited by Associated Press Article
A study by Professor of Economics Tahir Andrabi was mentioned in an Associated Press article, "U.S. steps up push for aid recognition in Pakistan," on July 21. The article examines a recent push by the U.S. government to have American aid groups working in Pakistan advertise that the assistance is U.S. based--to counter anti-American sentiment in the area--but some NGOs are reluctant to do so, since it could be dangerous in areas with Taliban and al-Qaida fighters. Andrabi's study is mentioned, as it shows the "influx of foreign aid after the 2005 Kashmir earthquake significantly increased survivors' trust in the West."

(ABC 6 News) -- Investigators say it's a theft that would have taken a lot of work, and several people, to pull off.
Mower County authorities say someone removed a dozen wheels and tires from chisel plows and diggers on a farm site near Rose Creek.
The theft is believed to have happened between Aug. 29 and Sept. 3.
The implements were stored in a vacant lot at the time.
The missing items are valued at $3,600.

Renovations complete at Lakeland; events scheduled
Since the middle of January, volunteers have been working on at total renovation of the main stage of the Mark E. Taylor Theatre at Lakeland Cultural Arts Center in Littleton. The work is now complete.
Work by the volunteers included new carpet, wall treatments and house lights; upgrades to seating, the sound system, and heating and air systems; a rebuilt floor and core structure; and much more.
More than 3,000 hours of labor (most of which came from volunteers) and thousands of dollars in materials (much of which was donated) went into the effort.
Several activities this weekend are scheduled in connection with the completion of this project. An open house will be held today, between 4-8 p.m. Also today, as well as Saturday, the Littleton Idol contest will take place. Proceeds (from seats, at $10 per person) will benefit Donald Thompson (lung cancer) and Brandon Reaves (leukemia), A Chinese auction will coincide with the contest both days; winners of both the competition and the auction will be announced Saturday. Then, on Sunday, Lakeland will host a fundraiser, "Lakeland C.A.R.E.s for John 3:16," for the John 3:16 Center in Littleton. At $10 per ticket, attendees will enjoy an afternoon of Gospel and Christian music, beginning at 2:30 p.m.
"Anne of Green Gables," starting April 26, will be the first production staged at the theater since renovations concluded.

Now they know that we know that they know. That's the takeaway from Josh Rogin's follow-up scoop on John Kerry's address to the Trilateral Commission (this one co-authored with Eli Lake), in which Kerry reveals the administration has proof Russian officials are closely involved in fomenting the unrest in eastern Ukraine. The question is, will it impact the administration's policy now that the White House knows that the public knows that the White House knows Russia is involved?
Of course, Russia's involvement is not a surprise; everyone "knew," on some level, precisely what Vladimir Putin was up to. But having proof is different, and having that proof in the hands of the administration is different as well, and so is the public knowing that the proof is in the hands of the administration, and that any policy recommendations are made with the full knowledge of Russian interventionism in Ukraine. Here's Rogin with the crux of Kerry's condemnation of Russia:
"Intel is producing taped conversations of intelligence operatives taking their orders from Moscow and everybody can tell the difference in the accents, in the idioms, in the language. We know exactly who's giving those orders, we know where they are coming from," Kerry said at a private meeting of the Trilateral Commission in Washington. A recording of Kerry's remarks was obtained by The Daily Beast.
Kerry didn't name specific Russian officials implicated in the recordings. But he claimed that the intercepts provided proof of the Russians deliberately fomenting unrest in eastern Ukraine—and lying about it to U.S. officials and the public.
"It's not an accident that you have some of the same people identified who were in Crimea and in Georgia and who are now in east Ukraine," said Kerry. "This is insulting to everybody's intelligence, let alone to our notions about how we ought to be behaving in the 21st century. It's thuggism, it's rogue state-ism. It's the worst order of behavior."
The proof, as Kerry describes it, is helpful in a strategic sense since it would be easier to identify Russian troublemakers elsewhere in Moscow's near abroad–Moldova, say–if they move on to other targets the way they did in invading Georgia and then Ukraine. And that latter point raises another issue here. This is about more than dueling protests and raising voices.
The New York Times illustrates the escalation of the conflict in a tale of two Ukrainian cities–Kharkiv, where the mayor was left in critical condition after an assassination attempt, and Konstantinovka, where power seemingly switched hands. The disturbing aspect to this is that neither of these two cities is a locus of violence compared to other parts of eastern Ukraine. The Times reports:
The crisis in eastern Ukraine took dark turns on Monday as the mayor of the country's second-largest city was gravely wounded in an assassination attempt and masked antigovernment militants seized control of this city almost effortlessly, laying bare the limits of the interim government's control.
The violence was followed by a pro-government rally in the eastern city of Donetsk that was broken up by a rival pro-Russian crowd that beat and scattered the demonstrators shortly after they gathered, while the police stepped aside and looked on.
One Ukrainian soldier was killed by an explosion in the Donetsk region and another wounded as they cleared an obstacle, the Defense Ministry said, in a statement suggesting its troops may have for the first time been struck by an improvised roadside bomb.
Taken together, the events pointed to the further enfeeblement of the interim government in Kiev, which came to power after chasing President Viktor F. Yanukovych from office in February.
They also provided further evidence of the near irrelevance of a diplomatic agreement reached in Geneva this month aimed at defusing what remains a still escalating crisis.
As Jonathan wrote earlier, the situation in Ukraine seems to be a drag on President Obama's approval ratings, with his handling of the crisis finding fewer takers than his handling of the ObamaCare fiasco. The Times story offers a clue why that is. The president has taken to insisting he has neither the time nor the inclination to explain himself before launching into bizarre rants accusing his critics of being warmongers. The alternative to total war, according to the president and his allies, is the administration's "smart diplomacy."
But even his fellow antiwar voices in the press are ridiculing the deal his administration struck in Ukraine as being of "near irrelevance" and the government the White House is supposedly helping to stand up showing signs of "further enfeeblement." The whole thing is a very sad, very dangerous, and increasingly bloody saga of American diffidence.
And Kerry's comments (should) complicate this further for the White House because the Post/ABC poll was conducted before Rogin's latest scoop. The public was already dissatisfied with the Obama administration's response to Russia's provocations, but now they've been told that the administration knew how much of this Moscow was directly responsible for.

The question of negative side effects of anabolic steroids has received tremendous debate in many circles and news media. It's the type of side effect that is often the subject of debate, not that the presence of side effects. Some of the most severe medical cases, among performance athletes, can be attributed to extraordinary levels of abuse. It goes without saying that there is tremendous biological variability involved which determines in large part how steroids effect the body. That's not to say that using steroids is not a risky, dangerous behavior. Let's take a look at several of the side effects of anabolic steroids.
There is a curious effect that occurs for both men and women who abuse anabolic steroids. Both men and women start to display attributes of the other gender when using steroids. Women begin to display traits of masculinity while the men start to develop more feminine features. Breast development in men is an example of this, but it's just the tip of the iceberg. For men there is an overall decrease in what is considered male sexual functions, in general. Estrogen that is left over from the body using the excess testosterone is to blame for this. As you know, estrogen is the hormone most prevalent in females.
The liver can be the most severely affected with the use of anabolic steroids. Typically, we see weight lifters in the professional realm that take steroids by injection and by the mouth. Unfortunately, running after superior performances entices athletes to increase the dosage to dangerous levels. The steroid, nortestosterone, when taken in injections, have been known to cause lesions on the liver. Testosterone of varying form like the ones in chemical esters might also bring about wounds that are similar.
Not all side effects of using anabolic steroids involve life-threatening health issues. There may be some social difficulties associated with some of them, however. Retaining water is a good example that happens with both sexes. As a footnote, water retention can place extreme stress on the heart. On a more serious note, the ability of the blood to clot can also be affected. The enzyme regulating functions of the liver can become impaired as well. Related cardiovascular risks involve cholesterol levels. Both men and women should be concerned about the wide range of side effects that can come about from if you buy steroids. It's puzzling to consider the decision to continue using steroids when it's common knowledge that these drugs come with such grave health consequences.
As a precautionary measure, some people may administer the drugs intravenously rather than by mouth. Injecting steroids directly into the blood seems to cut down on the severity of some of these side effects. That's not to imply that there is a way to completely avoid the unforeseen side effects of these drugs. In addition, some professional sports players have been known to utilize both methods of administering the drug, which is nuts.
Clenbuterol has been a known drug that has already come to be highly recognized as an excellent weight-loss creating drug. Clenbuterol wasn't genuinely developed as a diet drug. But it really is now better established among all those that use it as an extremely active weightloss accelerator. Clenbuterol utilized for weight-loss is something which needs to be discussed at great length. So let us get directly on to that can we? I'm betting at this point you are here hunting for details on whether its a good move to buy clenbuterol on the cornerstone that it might probably help you burn some additional body weight and reduce of any excess bodyweight, right? Well that's my very first guess and the main reason this document was compiled was due to the fact I wish to document some clenbuterol experiences that assist you if you decide to buy clenbuterol. I'm going to publish up lots of my experience with clenbuterol also including the weight loss effects I had. And also some of the side effects.
The upsides and the dangers. How much clenbuterol may cost to buy, and the best place to buy clenbuterol. Areas where never to buy clenbuterol and if you are United Kingdom based, where you can buy clenbuterol within the uk.Athletes, as well as performing body builders, oftentimes find Clenbuterol useful. CLEN is noted for the fact that it increases the metabolism rate of body fat, burning this fat more efficiently. There are receptors in the body that let off fat cells. CLEN affects these specific receptors. After these fat cells are released, they can be used as fuel - for weight loss as well as energy. Veterinaries around the globe have found CLEN useful as a bronchodilator for the treatment of respiratory problems in animals, specifically horses. A lot of countries have now banned the use of CLEN for animals that will be eaten by humans, but there is still wide-spread use of CLEN in some countries for this purpose. However, this substance is not sanctioned or approved for use within the US by veterinarians. This steroid has been very popular within sports for an unusually long time.
Sustanon 250
Sustanon 250 is literally an oil-based injectable comprising of 4 various testosterone compounds: testosterone propionate, 30 milligrams; testosterone phenylpropionate, 60 mg; testosterone isocaproate, 60mg; and additionally testosterone decanoate, 100 milligram. A combination of the testosterone tend to be time released in order to an immediate influence while still staying active within the body for as much as four weeks. Just like some other testosterones, Sustanon is definitely an androgenic steroid having a pronounced anabolic effect. Therefore, professional athletes consistently use Sustanon to Apply weight and overall size when on the rise strength. However unlike other testosterone substances such as cypionate as well as enanthate, the usage Sustanon results in less water retention and estrogenic side effects. This feature is very beneficial to bodybuilders that are suffering from gynecomastia yet still look for the effective anabolic effect associated with injectable testosterone. The reduced liquid storage also makes Sustanon an attractive steroid for weight lifters and sports athletes interested in cutting up or growing an excellent foundation of top quality weight. Doses of Sustanon range from 250 milligrams every other week, up to 2000 mg or higher per week. These doses seem to be the extremes. A more prevalent dosage would range between 250 mg to 1000 mg each week. Even though Sustanon continues to be active for up to a month, injections should really be taken at least one time per week to keep testosterone amounts stable.
Increased muscle mass and less body fat - the same results that testosterone delivers - is what you will get with Sustanon. The common conception of how this steroid works is it allows the muscle mass to attract and keep more protein. Protein, as is commonly know, is the main food of the muscle mass. The muscles of body builders are not the same composition as normal muscle. If you've observed this difference you may of wondered why. Here's the reason. This steroid, and others, will actually increase the quantity of muscle fibers in the muscles. As a result, the muscles will have a different look, as well as being larger. Another desirable benefit is that the red blood cell count will go up. This helps somewhat with endurance and, afterwards, with recovery.
Dianabol receives its features and capabilities via a methyl group element at carbon spot 17-alpha. This is what's called C17 Alpha Alkylation, which allows the hormone to become bioavailable by mouth. Without having this alteration of adding a methyl group within the 17th carbon position, the anabolic steroid will become rapidly broken down and refined by your liver with very little opportunity to reach the blood stream to do its job.
The nickname for Dianabol is DBol. Some well-known body builders often have combined DBol with testosterone for added effect. If you prefer taking a pill to getting an injection, you will have that choice to buy DBol. DBol is not good for your liver and this is one of the main drawbacks for not using it. Another adverse effect is it will increase blood pressure. Throughout the years, the optimal dosage of DBol has changed. Some people decide to take it exactly in the same amounts that well-known lifters have used in the past. However, what is a safe dosage for humans. This is not easy to determine.|When a person takes an anabolic steroid, the androgenic effects can become apparent in different locations throughout the body. The more an athlete or other person knows about the androgenic results that they could experience with a specific anabolic steroid, the better able they will be to choose the right configuration.
Let's talk about Andriol. Sometimes it's confused with the Anabolic Steroids, but it's an androgenic steroid. Androstenediona, nicknamed "Andriol", has been studied in past years and the results show that people who buy Andriol don't really show any significant fat loss or increase in muscle mass. No scientific data is forthcoming to convince performing athletes or body builders that buy Andriol will be beneficial. What is interesting to note is that this readily-available steroid contains metabolic off-shoots that mutate into estrogens. That implies there will be estrogenic effects for men who use it, but Andriol needs to be taken in sufficient dosages to cause this to happen.|A majority of athletic users of Anabolic Steroids either take them orally, via pill, or as an intramuscular or subcutaneous injection. If someone chooses to inject Anabolic Steroids, they can either inject intramuscularly or subcutaneously.
Steroids In History
As you can clearly see, there are many uses for the different types of anabolic steroids.to buy This gives you a good idea of how useful the multitude of steroids can be, and this is but one of the classification of steroids. It is not surprising that so much effort has been put into steroid research. This whole genre of steroids - corticosteroids, androgenic, and anabolic - have great commercial application. In addition, one cannot overlook the benefits of the medical use derived from some of these anabolic steroids - and others, as well.|One must look back to the Twentieth Century to discover the variety of steroids as they were developed and their history. One astonishing fact is that the use of steroids can be traced through records to ancient Greece. But underground research has only continued to improve and refine upon what has already been discovered. This explains why there is such a diverse selection of steroids - each with it's own effects upon the body. Unfortunately, many steroids that appeared promising on paper, didn't turn out as well as their developers had hoped when they were tested in the field or a clinical setting.
A Serious Discussion Regarding the Countless Types Accessible
Maybe you are like us in that you feel it is pretty interesting when you consider to buy Anabolic Steroids and why you want to know more about it. We go along in our lives and are subject to many influences and many things cross our path. No need to question too much or feel alarmed about inexplicable desires to discover what is behind something that catches your eye. People like us are the ones who like supplying information to help others, but we are also subject to the same influences as everybody else - we are curious to know. Today we will talk about a few items that we know mean a lot to you, and by so doing we hope you are enriched and are a little closer to finding what you need.
The various types of Anabolic Steroids, and their use and misuses, have always been a hotly debated subject for decades. The idea that steroids could be used to heighten the performance of an athlete began to become common knowledge worldwide forty to fifty years ago. The prevalence of specific countries to lead when it came to competitions in weight lifting and other events started to gain attention during the Olympic Games. The debates have not stopped even as the situation continues to move forward. The 21st Century has not brought a stop to the abuses of just about every type of steroid. Anabolic Steroids will be the subject of this article. We will give you some basic facts so you will have a better understanding of these drugs.
There are tremendous advantages you will experience when you apply what you know about when you decide to buy Anabolic Steroids. Take action on this because that is the only thing that will help you. Hoping will not get it done, and we know you realize that; but then again so many people do yet that is all they do. It is a noble thing to be different from the rest because the rest, or most, of the people just sit and wait for something to change. It is not hard at all, really, to use this information if you become aware and commit to it. Let's see what else there is to know about this topic.
Clenbuterol is a steroid that is frequently used by athletes and successful bodybuilders. CLEN, as it is commonly called, was developed specifically to help the body shed fat. There are receptors in the body that let off fat cells. CLEN affects these specific receptors. The liberated fat cells can then be accessed for use as both fuel and for losing weight. CLNE is used in the veterinary community as a bronchodilator on horses who suffer from respiratory diseases. In the past, the use of CLEN on animals was to produce meat with less fat. This practice is now forbidden in a lot of countries, even though some countries still use CLEN for this purpose. Nevertheless, in America, CLEN is not an approved or sanctioned steroid for veterinarians to use. Practically since it was introduced, this drug has been in demand by members of the sports community.
Injectable Anabolic Steroids do not become effective as quickly as other forms of delivery. One of the reasons the use of injectable Anabolic Steroids is preferred is due to the fact that the body accepts the steroids more readily. Likewise, undesirable side-effects are not as evident with injectable steroids as they are with steroids that are taken orally. You must not forget that you do not inject steroids into your blood stream. Instead, the method of delivery for these steroids is via slow, intra-muscular injection. One undesirable effect when steroids are injected is that they are detectable in a person's body months after he or she has stopped taking them.
The androgenic reactions in the body can occur in many different areas. Therefore, if someone is going to buy Anabolic Steroids, it's always a good idea to learn as much as they can about the possible androgenic effects they might experience.
One result of using steroids with an androgenic component is the consequences they can cause to the male reproductive system, as well as their ability to intensify male characteristics. Anabolic Steroids are not uncommon for use in the medical field. There are many medical conditions that they can treat successfully. Other uses in the medical environment for Anabolic Steroids are Turner's Syndrome, hormone replacement therapy for men with testosterone deficiency, and the induction of puberty in boys with an extreme delay of the onset of puberty. There are many more useful applications for health-related problems as well. The term, "anabolic" is an adjective that means it's characteristics promote "creative metabolism" - in other words, muscle enhancement.
Many different types of medical conditions can be treated with Anabolic Steroids. It is not considered abusive use of steroids when they are used to treat people who have medical conditions that will benefit by their use. It's important to understand the different types of steroids and how they work by doing a little reading on the subject. Several other industries, outside of the sports field, have obviously profited at the expense of these steroids. Animal products that end up on your dinner table may be from animals that have received these steroids. The desire of humans for less fat in their diets has led to these animals being fed human-growth hormones, and steroids, to produce leaner cuts of meat for our tables. What percentage of these drugs stay in the meat and pass on to human consumers? Concerned citizens would like to know the answer to this question.
One does not have to look far to see how expansive the influence of Anabolic Steroids really is. Unfortunately it seems that people never think about things like that until it is staring them in the face. The best approach is to try to maintain an awareness as much as you can. There are many types of behaviors that humans exhibit in the way of avoidance techniques and preventing some things is one of them. It certainly does seem that mobilizing to deal with it comes about only after the fact. That is why we always urge those we communicate with to become knowledgeable and keep learning.
Discover the Variety of Anabolic Steroids and How to Use Them
A risk associated with taking steroids is the fact that the side effects of the different kinds are not the same. The uninformed person who is seeking out steroids on the underground market is taking huge risks.
The uninformed users aren't the only ones who are unaware of the dangers. Even experienced steroid users can develop problems or have an adverse reaction. Anabolic steroids, in truth, are not meant to be used to improve an athlete's performance. The internet prides itself on being the source of information on just about any topic - instantly - but this isn't always a good thing. It's a sad state of affairs that when someone isn't able to purchase steroids through lawful means, they can still find someone online who sells them.
Parabolan has been formulated to produce both anabolic and androgenic effects. Parabolan doesn't have any estrogenic effects on the body and it has five times the strength of testosterone. Users of this steroid like the fact that it stimulates the growth of muscle cells along with burning fat cells. Muscle mass increase is one benefit of taking Parabolan as it discourages catabolism. Catabolism, is also known as destructive metabolism.; It causes complex molecules, such as protein, to become simple molecules which are then released from the cells as energy. Body builders prefer that the protein remain in the muscle mass and Parabolan is a steroid that constrains catabolism. Keeping as much protein in their muscles as they can is a priority with bodybuilders; therefore, they would find Parabolan a very beneficial steroid. Another great benefit of Parabolan is it's ability to stimulate the body to change a greater proportion of the food eaten into muscle mass and less into fat.
We will discuss Androstenedione because some may confuse this androgenic steroid for being an anabolic type. The outcome of research studies in the past has shown that the muscle mass gain and fat loss actions of Androstenedione (Andriol) are insignificant. Nothing of note in all the scientific data available during the past several years indicates that bodybuilders or performing athletes will find advantages to using Andro. What is interesting to note is that this readily-available steroid contains metabolic off-shoots that mutate into estrogens. The estrogenic effect won't become apparent in a male until he has taken an amount that is capable of producing this effect.
Metenolone is an anabolic steroid that is known for lasting effects. One benefit is that Metenoline is offered as both an injection or in oral form. From time to time, athletes will take Metenoline both by injection and orally, with a pill. To inject the steroids, the injection is done directly into the muscle. There are several legitimate uses for Metenoline for medical purposes. One condition that responds well to metenoline is aplastic anemia. Strict medical supervision is necessary when Metenoline is used to treat aplastic anemia due to the increased production of the patient's red blood cell count. The androgenic effect of Metenoline has been found to be less than the effect of other steroids. Other names for this drug are Primbolan and Nibal.
Without a doubt, the diverse formulations of anabolic steroids have multiple uses as is proven through many years of research and documented usage. Moreover, it's plain to see that just this one classification of steroids has many beneficial uses, and it's easy to understand how immense the combined usage of all three categories of steroids can be. So the amount of work and years of analysis that have gone into steroid research is not the least bit unprecedented based on the benefits they provide. The commercial potential with all three classes of steroids is immense. However, the medical uses for certain anabolic steroids, as well as others, are very clear and positive for serious conditions.

The business - Patrick Hosking discovers we're getting poorer
We have lifted the lid from the tureen in the City kitchen, and found something unappetising, overco
We have lifted the lid from the tureen in the City kitchen, and found something unappetising, overco
by Patrick Hosking Published
Skim, skim, skim. Dip, dip, dip. Churn, churn, churn. The City has regarded the nation's wealth rather like an enormous pot of soup. The nation has regarded the City as a greedy but competent cook. The cook keeps watch over the pot and is allowed to dip in his ladle for frequent slurps.
The nation expected the contents of the pot to grow. The skimming, dipping and churning were tolerated. For 30 years, the pact worked, or seemed to. True, the cook was getting bloated. The gorging sound was perhaps not in the best taste. The smell from the kitchen occasionally offended the more delicate nostrils. But no matter - the pot got bigger all the time, and there would be helpings enough for everyone. Crashing pans (pension mis-selling), strangled oaths (endowment mis-selling), smashed glasses (split capital investment trusts) and panicky calls to the local takeaway (Equitable Life) did not unduly alarm us.
Come the dinner gong, however, the tureen lid has been lifted to reveal something overcooked, unappetising and horribly shrunken. The value of our pensions, endowments, ISAs and other savings has collapsed by a third in two years. Yet the cook believes that tomorrow he will be allowed to begin again with fresh ingredients.
Ron Sandler's official report last Tuesday on long-term saving makes all the right noises. He wants to reform with-profits funds, the dark heart of the life assurance industry. His plans for a range of fairly priced, no-frills savings products should drive down costs. And his call for less complexity and more transparency can only be applauded.
But the recommendations are still a long way from the statute book. And our hopelessly mediocre cook has grown awfully fond of his Anton Mosimann-style wages. It will be fascinating to see how many of Sandler's ideas are eventually watered down.
I have one gripe. He rightly berates the industry for using terms incomprehensible to the layman, but then dubs his proposed new range of savings vehicles "stakeholder" products. First, it's a gruesome, meaningless word. Second, we already have stakeholder pensions. I can't think of anything more likely to confuse ordinary savers.
Talking of the nation's wealth, I can't recall a time when house prices and share prices have diverged so dramatically. Usually, asset values move together. The cheap money and optimism that pump up the stock market have the same effect on property, Rembrandts, vintage claret, golf club debentures and any other asset.
Not this time. House prices are rising at their fastest rate for 15 years and at the same time share prices are plummeting at their fastest for 30 years (ignoring the blip of the 1987 crash).
So netting things off, are we getting richer or poorer? Poorer, I'm afraid.
Total household wealth has fallen by £139bn, or 3.5 per cent, in the past 12 months, according to the helpful number crunchers at the National Institute for Economic and Social Research. People haven't yet noticed. They are deluded because house prices are highly visible, while the depreciation of financial assets is often hidden or the bad news delayed.
What happens when the penny drops? Probably a dramatic hike in saving and a corresponding fall in spending. It's all a bit ominous when consumer spending is just about the only thing preventing a nasty slide into recession.
To Merrill Lynch on Tuesday, to celebrate the opening of its vast new trading floor by the Prince of Wales. Does no one brief the heir to the throne? As we guzzled bubbly and canapes, the prince seemed oblivious to the scandal the world's largest stockbroker has just gone through.
First, he attempted some lame quip about Chinese walls. Was this perhaps an incredibly subtle dig at Merrill, which has just paid a $100m fine to end an embarrassing investigation into how it allegedly duped its own clients? Conflicts of interest and the lack of Chinese walls - between staff who advised investors and those who advised the companies they might invest in - were at the heart of the affair. Then the prince made a joke about insider dealing. Was this a brilliantly ironic reference to the Merrill broker recently suspended for his role in the insider dealing allegations made against the American style guru and TV pundit Martha Stewart?
No, in both cases I fear the prince was just plain uninformed. He even applauded the assembled bankers for taking corporate social responsibility so seriously. "You're doing marvellous things in Tower Hamlets," he gushed.
It's nice to see a rehabilitated Merrill welcomed back into polite society. But a gap of just seven weeks since it was hanging its head in shame is almost unseemly. Then again, the property developer Gerald Ronson, one of the Guinness Four, was shaking hands with the Queen Mother within six weeks of leaving Ford Open Prison.

Employee's clean up after an SUV went through the front window and into the Rack Room Shoe store at the Quarry Sunday.
Employees of Rack Room Shoes in the Alamo Quarry Market clean up glass, merchandise and other debris that was scattered about the floor after a motorist driving an SUV plowed through a plate-glass window and came to rest inside the store Sunday. No one was injured in the 2 p.m. crash that came during a busy day at the North Side shopping center. A tow truck extracted the SUV from inside the business, allowing cleanup to begin, but a store employee declined comment when asked when the store would reopen.

The divorce heard round the world this week between Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries has everyone talking. Monday we spoke to Tough Love Miami star Steve Ward about why he thinks Kim looks nuts now as a result of her barely-three-month marriage, and Why Am I Still Single star Siggy Flicker has also weighed in.
Speaking on CNN's Showbiz Tonight, Siggy told host A.J. Hammer that despite the fact that she thought the double K's were in love, theirs was not a match made in heaven, explaining "Kim and Kris' love was real. Nobody getting married thinking it is going to end 72 days later…She was more obsessed with having a fairy tale wedding. I'm a romantic and want to believe it, but at the same time, it seems to me from a layman's perspective, that if you split up after 72 days then when you are walking down the aisle, the person who filed for divorce knows this thing is not going to work out." And as for whether or not matchmaker Siggy would have paired the two up in he first place, she says "I would have never matched Kim Kardashian with Kris Humphries in a million years."

Securely Encrypt Files with WinZip
WinZip allows you to encrypt files by placing them in an encrypted archive. If you must send sensitive data over insecure channels, such as e-mail, then it is required you use WinZip (or an equivalent encryption scheme) to protect the data while in transit.
Make Sure WinZip is using Strong Encryption
Strong Encryption is defined as encryption using a 128-bit (or higher) encryption key.
Older versions of WinZip used a much more insecure encryption method that does not meet minimum Columbia University Encryption Policy standards. Even though newer versions of WinZip offer encryption protection above and beyond 128-bits, in order to maintain compatibility with older versions, many of WinZips out-of-the-box settings default to the older legacy modes. You may have to change the default Encryption setting to an appropriate level.
In order to ensure that WinZip is using Strong Encryption, please follow these steps:
- Open WinZip (It can usually be found in Start -> Programs)
- Click on the Settings Ribbon.
- Under Encryption, set the Level to either "AES (128-bit)" or "AES (256-bit)".
- That's it. From now on all encrypting you do with WinZip will be sufficiently secured.
Encrypting With WinZip
WinZip provides two alternatives for encrypting files.
The most efficient way to encrypt files is to do so while you are adding them to a Zip archive (.zip or .zipx). To encrypt files while they are being added:
- Check the Encrypt added files check box in the Add dialog. Before adding the files, WinZip will display the Encrypt dialog
- Choose the password and desired encryption method
When you choose to add files to an existing archive, there is no Add dialog and therefore no opportunity to encrypt the files while they are being added. In these cases, you can encrypt files after they have been added. To do so:
- Open the Zip file in the Classic interface
- Click Encrypt on the Actions menu
You can also encrypt an entire Zip file AFTER it's already been created.
- Right click on the Zip file in My Computer, Windows Explorer, or Computer (in Vista)
- Select WinZip
- Select Encrypt
In either case, WinZip will ask for a password and encryption method and then encrypt all files currently in the Zip archive.
If a file in the Zip archive is already encrypted, it will first be decrypted and then re-encrypted using the password and encryption method you specified. WinZip will first try to decrypt the file using the current password. If the file cannot be decrypted with this password, WinZip will ask you for the correct password. If you are unable to supply the correct password, the file can be skipped, and it will remain unchanged in the Zip archive. The password you entered in the Encrypt dialog box will remain active until either you delete or replace it, or you close the archive.
You can also download the WinZip Encryption Step-By-Step (PDF)

UFC 144 Coverage | Dana White Video's | Thinks Edgar Won, Talks Event Controversies
"Well I'm not a judge but I had the fight even going into the last round and I gave the last round to Frankie. This is one of those fights that is tough to score. I even asked the guys on twitter how they scored it, some people had it the way I had it, some people had it the other way for Ben.
There's so many fights out there at the 55 division and Frankie's thing tonight was 'Hey I gave two instant rematches. So I think fair is fair, I should get one.' I would really love for Frankie Edgar to move down to 145 pounds."
During the UFC on FUEL TV post-fight show UFC president Dana White gave his take on tonight's main event.
Here's an additional post-fight interview with Dana.

I had it Ben 4 rounds to 1.
All you nuts just picked Benson, cause you hate Frankie for beating B.J twice..get over it it was B.J's time to pass the belt..you guys know Frankie won, you guys all week before the fight were sayin shit about him. Well gues what ? Your man crush B.J had Frankie winning 4-1 … 90% of the fighters in the UFC had Frankie winning…it's a coincidence that only b.j Penn .com are where the majority of the benson pickers are not any other mma sites..
take it easy buddy. this fight just like the condit diaz fight was EXTREMELY close it really could have went either way. i had it 3-2 for benson. the compu-strike along with frankie's face shows benson landed more significant shots and when frankie took him down he couldn't do anything with it. frankie deserves an immediate rematch tho. i felt the same way about diaz till he failed the drug test(i still think the same but rules are rules)
and if it means anything im from toms river and hoped edgar would win
It seems you can't get over that Frankie actually lost. Stop crying.
lol I don't know what 90% your talking about. I Think that you made that number up maybe 90% of your friends think that. How about the fact that Ben out stuck him or Frankie couldn't do any damage at all and he couldn't even keep him down IF he was even to take him down. Or how about the fact that ALL octagon control belong to Henderson. Or maybe the fact that Frankie looked half dead and Ben looked like he just got there. Maybe after Frankie's eye heals up he can see the fight better to see that he was owned. If the fight was so close then why is Dana telling him to go to 145. Think before you type man.
So Dana can get a mega fight between he and Aldo..even if the judges would of gave it to Frankie Dana was gonna ask him to still go down to 145
I absolutely can't stand Frankie Edgar, the guy can't take a loss. First of all, the guy is so full of himself, he actually thought he won the fight?! His corner was lifting him up at the end of the fight like he just beat down henderson, when they were announcing the decision, he put his hand up like he knew he was going to get the decision. Get over it buddy, drop down to 145 and try to take the belt from Aldo, your 155 days are over!!
frankie is shit..him an cruz have the pussy style down
I like both fighter and I don't pick favorite in fights. I like to see 2 great material artiest fight in skill. But I seen that fight and i do believe Ben won it. He had Edgar on the run the entire time and nearly closed his eye shut. Franky may have stole the last round but he lost 4 our of 5. Ben won and Franky lost. Judges scored it right.
Dean should be a B list ref now. He been stopping to many fights way to early. Kongo had a chance to recover just like every other fighter and wasn't given that opportunity kinda like what happen with Fedor.
wake up..bj really got robbed in the 1st fight,,,in the 2nd fight he was tired and no motivated
Truth!…80% of the MMA world including Rogan, Sherdog and MMA Live had BJ winning the 1st fight
Probably because they have an idea what FIGHTING really is. I think Henderson is a better fighter. Period. Some whinning already.
where the link that says over 90 percent thought edgar won???
Edgar's so emotionally soft that he can't take the criticism from fans on his own web site! BJ, on the other hand, has been tough all his life. He can handle words and strikes! Edgar is done. The only belt he will own now is the one he buys from Walmart! Deal.
Looks like some one needs to get off Frankie's nuts right about now. Did you not listen to the interview? Joe Silva had Ben by landslide 3 judges had Ben, fighters are tweeting Ben won, and i don't know were the hell your getting 90% of fighters from. Just cuz your friends watch UFC doesn't make them fighter. Frankie's face exploded! Get over it its time for Frankie to pass the belt.
Its a coincidence that only on a bjpenn fan sight do you come and post your nonsense go troll elsewhere. have a nice day
shut the fuck up sweet game plan. maybe you should heed your own advice and take some nutz outa your mouth and wipe the jizz off your eyes then you would clearly see frankie got beat up.
I don't even really like Henderson because of his over the top religious crap, but he was the better fighter and clearly won that fight.
And stop making up percentages to justify your opinion.
And I'm taking a guess on what sites more people had Frankie winning this one, let's see frankiebandwagonfans.com? frankiesnutsonyourchin.com?
Sweet Game plan is just butt hurt.
Chill your nut sack man. I really didn't even care about BJ losing. I've been following Ben since WEC and he's been my favorite LW since then. I mainly come onto BJpenn.com for my MMA news. I like BJ, but wasn't butthurt that BJ lost. So chill man.
I picked Benson to win but I didn't get to actually see the fight. I heard from a lot of people that Frankie outstruck Ben but thats not how it was on the fight metrics.
I too had 4 rounds to one. only reason i gave Frankie a round is because i knew the judges would give it to him because they score pitter patter like its the gold standard in which scoring should be based on in MMA. Frannkie wins more points on 3 piter patter combos than any other fighter gets for a knockdown. Also the other GLITCH in scoring system Frankie exploits to the fullest is cheap ass takedowns with no follow up. All Frankie does is just sits on leg kicks waiting to grab a leg get a quik takedown to steal round. Point fighting is almost ruining MMA as bad as "FITCHING"
Why is everyone of the frankie nuthuggers crying about Bendo cutting weight. He is ripped from head to toe. Frankie to me look soft and kind of round on the waistline. Why is it a big deal for bendo but not everyon e else. Has Bendo ever missed weight??? Jon Fitch cuts 30 lbs each and every figfht but you didn't hear anyone care one damn bit that Fitch had a 30 lb weight advantage on BJ. if anything that w as the only reason BJ gassed in 3rd round was from thrwoing around a 200lb fighter fro 10 minutes. You would never in a million years see Fitch fight someone that weighed 30 lbs more than him. Bendo cuts half the weight Fitch and GSP do but its ok for the mighty GSP to cut massive amounts of weight. Look at Cerrone he walkks around same weight as GSP and has a bigtime size advantge on all his opponenst at 155 but you don't hear anyone calling him outr for cutting 30+ pounds. UFC clowns-Rogan made Kenny Florian who walks around at 180 + as som ekind of hero fro dropping down to 145 and amking sure he had massive size advantge. Whats ok for some is not ok for otehrs.
i wholeheartedly agree 100%
i agreed in regards to nick's post.
Dana is an idiot. There are two reasons why he is saying this:
1) He is preparing people for an Edgar vs Henderson rematch
2) He doesn't want to look stupid for saying Edgar was one of the best pound for pound fighters, considering Edgar has already lost his belt
I'm starting to think the reason why Dana has beef with the refs is because Dana's scoring sucks!
#2 sounds good
the dude is tryin to cover his ass for all the over hype he's been doing.
I got a question for all you critics, if you were Ben fighting Frankie, would you honestly say that you kicked Frankies ass in that fight? Or would you say you thought Frankie did enough to win?
If you think he won the fight Dana why not give Frankie a rematch, after all your the one that gave him P4P status after the last Maynard fight.If he loses the rematch to Benson…which he won't then you can look for your super fight at 145 with Aldo, you owe the man and his fans that much!!
he was blowin smoke up everyones ass when he mentioned edgar as p4p. the fuck does he or anyone thinks what p4p is anyway? p4p is overgeneralized, its bullshit.
F**kin rights E.
I agree with Dana on this one, thought Edgar won it, the damage came from one up kick and nothing else. Edgar won rds, and the fact 2 judges had it 4 rds to 1 is really insane and shows the problem in mma judging
How can u win a fight by getting ur face smashed and chased all over the octagon, then look like you can barely stand up at the end of the fight. My view of who wins a fight is quite different then yours I suppose
Frankie muscled the bigger man around, Henderson tried too but couldn't. They based the fight on facial damage.. GSP won the first match with Bj Penn with a busted up face while Bj Penn looked unharmed
Tell me would you want to be Frankie Edgar and i'll be Ben Henderson and we re-enact the fight? I doubt it. Come on man, have you never seen a fight before this one? I was laughing when i saw frankie's trainers put him on their shoulders after the fight. It looked like they were trying to convince themselves that it was even a close fight. Please stop.
yap he trainers thought that they should pick him up and run around again….it worked in bj vs frankie 1 and they thought it would work again
yeas me too. I was thinking, "wow this guy actually thinks he won the fight.
i aggree with you 100%mean170
lol one up kick and nothing else? stop watching mma please or at least stop having an opinion on who won. he smashed his nose on the upkick and thats it. how was his eye swollen shut? stfu dumb fuck
dana is stupid he also had condit winning the diaz fight from running away also…i see daba is a bitch who likes guys who kill the clock and dont wanna finish
Hey Dick boy ,cruz and condoit are mexian s not token skin heads. Hendo is
part korean , tell that to your racist brother at fort braggs.
I'm an Edger supporter but I do think he lost this fight
henderson outsriked edgar mr white, i think white loves him so edgar lol…
Every website says Ben won the fight. so does frankies face and the stats.
Damn look at thier faces at the post fight confrence. can you still say edgar won.
look at GSP's face after he fought BJ same fucking thing. Edgar won that fight
what did he do to win? by having his face busted up and eye swollen shut? and not to mention bendo had 3 sub attempts plus the superior strike advantage. Please explain how Frankie won that fight?
Nick Diaz wins fights and his face always looks like it got hit by a truck.
u are so stupid..what fights has diaz won when he looked like his face got hit by a truck??? the gomi fight ? cuz he finish gomi stupid idiot…who else fuk head…?? name another fight
How great did Mark Hunt look tonight!!!
that was fricking awsm!
his timing was sick….
and "Smooth" Henderson looked great too.
i would've paid 600.00+ to sit on the floor for this card.
Hunt is a wrecking machine! I love the guy. It was a weird match up for Kongo, what would he gain by winning? As soon as it started I was like shit, Kongo is going to get KO'd…and sure enough….
the worst thing to happen to MMA is the dissolution of Pride. We need at least two top organizations in MMA. Dana proves to be an idiot again.
Idiot Dana quoted that according to stats that Edgar won. Dana needs to head WWE. We need a read leader for The UFC. And stop buying other organizations and closing them. ANTI TRUST. If it was a financial institution there would be big lawsuits going on. FUCKING MONOPOLY.
Frankie Edgar will never be the same fighter that he was in the past. That is because he had to many concussions already. In his last two fights with Maynard, Edgar was essentially out on his feet twice!!! but he manage to gut it out. However, all those concussion are bound to leave some lasting effects. In his fight with Bento he was also to quite a beating. Look at all those fighters, (nogueira, van der lei silva, chuck liddell etc…) who were famous for taking a beating, after all the beating they took now it does not take much to punch their lights out. I think Edgar is now in that boat will all the beating he as taken recently.
Henderson won the fight not one point he was in a position to lose that fight. Frankie nearly got knocked out with the up kick and almost got submitted with the guillotine a choke that Henderson usually pulls off. Also Edgars face was fucked up for a reason and Henderson was all good no problems.
Just for the record, Fightmetrics are way off on at least one point: they scored submission attempts for Henderson at the end of round 2 & 5. That is very inaccurate. He went in for it and let go himself, literally, in a fraction of a second. Those weren't sub attempts. Those 2 entries are invalid and they obviously greatly effect how we are all perceiving their "objective" scoring.
are you sure it was a fraction of the second?
Yep, not even a second. Meanwhile, Frankie held on to a standing choke twice, I believe, for a few seconds, and no points were given to him. I'm not trying to change people's minds who say Henderson clearly won. I'm saying that the guy who scored Fightmetrics for this fight did not do it accurately, and if he had, the scores would show the fight to be much closer than the numbers they came up with.
Im a huge FE supporter and was pulling for him but he clearly lost that fight, I gave him one round and that's it… no rematch required. I'm hoping he drops down to face Aldo… great fight!!
4-1 is not close! you fucking morons!
Dana is just trying to save face, hyped Edgar as a p4p fighter, LOOOOOL!
Edgar isnt even close to what Anderson Silva, GSP or Aldo have done.
Come on, why did edgar have to give immediate rematches twice, cause he really didn't win the first two times. Didn't do anything to penn in the first fight, benefit of the worst judging in mma history on that one, then almost got decapitated by maynard the first time. He is a points fighter and that is it, landed 71 strikes on henderson, look at Bendo's face, where the fuck did those land. He pitter patters and then bounces around the cage like Tigger. Looks busy and in control when he in fact is losing. Bendo pushed the pace, stalked him, did more damage, and had him in more bad positions, Edgar never had bendo in trouble, even when he connected clean it didn't phase Bendo. Only an Edgar nuthugger could possibly think that results in a Edgar win. Go down to 145, then your best attribute of speed will be the same as everyone else, He will get owned at 145.
The only thing Frankie did to Ben is beat up his fist with his face…I think Frankie trained backwards for this one…49-46 Ben
The guy has defended his title 3 times against BJ and Maynard, has an awesome record at 155lb so why should he move down to 144lb?!? It's retarded. Dana just wants some competition for Aldo, don't get me wrong it's a fight I'd love to see but it's not like Edgar is on the end of a 3 fight losing streak….Give him a rematch or a fight against Pettis with the winner getting Henderson.
frankie can fight any weight class he chooses but he lost that fight with ben hands down.
frankies size forces him to draw out and point fight everyone. he has less muscle to carry than his heavier counterparts, and they USUALLY tire out quicker. if frankie fights people his size, maybe he will feel more comfortable trying to finish his fights. I am tired of watching someone run away and throw fakes all day. sure he throws some combinations here and there, but only cause his opponents are pressuring him to fight. if he fights Condit, we would have less than one minute of action in 25 minutes.
Dude, why would Edgar fight Condit?!? I get that he's a small 155lb but he's still in the top 2 or 3 guys in the world at 155lb so my point was its a little early to think about moving weight categories. Benson looked like a WW, the size difference was pretty significant and the damage on Edgar showed.
my bad let me rephrase if frankie fights a fighter with condits style we will have less than a minute of action in a five round fight.
What a remarkable performance! Benson Henderson well deserved champ!!

We feel $APPL board is doing great disservice to shareholders by not having markedly increased its buyback. In-depth letter to follow soon.—
Carl Icahn (@Carl_C_Icahn) January 22, 2014
Following a precatory proposal from billionaire investor and Apple shareholder Carl Icahn urging Apple to vote on a larger buyback, Icahn today announced on Twitter that he thinks Apple "is doing great disservice to shareholders by not having markedly increased its buyback." He also said that he would soon send Apple another in-depth letter regarding his proposals and confirmed that he has purchased another $500 million in Apple shares bringing his total investment to $3 billion.
After months of letters and meetings with Tim Cook urging the Apple CEO to introduce a larger buyback at around $150 billion, last month Icahn said he gave Apple notice that he would be making a precatory proposal to shareholders to call for a vote on a buyback at less than the $150 billion he originally proposed. A precatory proposal is essentially a formal request asking Apple to hold the vote, but it means Apple executives wouldn't actually have to implement the buyback even if the majority of shareholders approved it.
Having purchased $500 million more $AAPL shares in the last two weeks, our investment has crossed the $3 billion mark yesterday.—
Carl Icahn (@Carl_C_Icahn) January 22, 2014
Icahn has been proposing a larger buyback from Apple of around $150 billion since first announcing back in August that he had taken "a large position" in the company. We now know that position has increased from the $2.5 billion he owned previously to around $3 billion.
Icahn previously said executing the buyback immediately would result in "further stock appreciation of 140% for the shareholders who choose not to sell into the proposed tender offer." He also agreed to withhold his shares and not participate in the buyback to "invalidate any possible criticism" regarding the long term benefits of the proposal.
Apple confirmed that it received the precatory proposal and said it would actively seek shareholders' input and announce any changes to its return program in the "first part of calendar 2014."

Because Apple is soooo mismanaged they became the most successful company on the planet.
All we need is this greedy SOB to run Apple by proxy.
Why can Carl Ichan not drop dead? He will make a mess of Apple. Kudos to Tim Cook for having the fortitude in not being pressured by this arrogant prick. Carl Ichan, stay away from Apple, you greedy son of a bitch!
If Icahn believes "$APPL board is doing great disservice to shareholders" then why is he still buying shares? The disservice must not be past financial but one that will still allow a future gain.
I'm really thankful for Carl Icahn. Apple stock really deserves to be back around $700 at least.
Yeah I agree! I'm also a stock holder and it was disappointing when it fell from the previous $700 mark.
Carl Icahn invested in Blockbuster. Let's not forget that.
Price you pay when you become a publicly traded company. Shareholders think they can run your business.
Icahn may be a pain in the ass for Apple but he is also correct on this matter. Warren Buffett strongly, and with no ambiguity, recommended the same thing to Jobs.
The only one Carl Icahn is looking out for is himself. This whole "buy a ton of Apple stock and tell everyone how undervalued apple is" thing is just a get rich quick scheme. He just wants a piece of that Apple pie. He's getting all upset about it now because Apple saw right through it. This guy needs to bugger off before he makes a mess out of the whole stock market.
Apple is doing a great disservice to shareholders.
So wait while I buy even more shares from this company doing this great disservice to shareholders.

Gadflies like Google have tipped us off that our work places needn't be drab utilitarian environments lacking inspiration and intentional design. Mohawk Flooring is one of the latest employers to create a place that's as imaginative as it is functional; that speaks to its history as one of the world's most successful manufacturers of floor coverings. This fall, Mohawk enlisted interior design students from Savannah College of Art and Design to reimagine its Dalton, Ga. headquarters. The result of the 10-week sponsored project of SCAD's Collaborative Learning Center was a plan that Mohawk accepted wholesale, with no changes.
The design board the SCAD team submitted during their final presentation to Mohawk reps.
As Mohawk begins construction on that plan, here's a look back at the project with SCAD senior Bradley Odom, who also works full-time as West Elm's director of design education. Mohawk selected Bradley's "Light Lab" as the guiding design force for the renovation.
Project manager Bradley Odom and his fellow students delivered the final concept to Mohawk at SCAD Atlanta.
Thread: The first step was to visit the Mohawk site. What were the takeaways?
Bradley Odom: The field trip enabled us to immerse ourselves in the actual space. We were able to see the beauty of the building and the natural mountainous area it's surrounded by. We also worked one-on-one with the client - users of the space - to understand their needs. This relationship was very important to our overall design.
T: What inspired Light Lab and how does it fit Mohawk's objectives?
B: The client desired a more open work environment. They were looking for a paradigm shift in their culture and to create a place that fostered collaboration.
The site plan for the redesign of Mohawk's headquarters.
B: The existing skylight in the center of the space served as inspiration, as it allowed natural light into an area where people could converge to collaborate. The primary motivating goal was to create a place where design is first and foremost. Mohawk designs beautiful product, yet it was not the primary focus when entering, and I thought it should be. In the final design, the Light Lab is a place where visitors and employees can engage in the design process by seeing the resources, products and the people who are designing the products.
A model installation that the team proposed to reference the importance of weaving and threads to Mohawk's legacy.
T: Describe some of the unique features that the SCAD team included in the plan?
B: One of the most unique features is the water bottle wall. This was inspired by the client's reputation in the industry as one of the world's largest recyclers of plastic water bottles. Mohawk uses the recycled bottles to create carpet tiles. I believe visitors should learn this upon entering the building. Another great feature is the lighting. In the Light Lab plan we included a lighting element that would project natural and artificial light through cut out metal onto the floor in the form of keywords that described the overall concept and Mohawk as a company--INSPIRE, EXPLORE, DESIGN.
A sketch of how a lighting element filters natural light from the skylight and a prototype of a light fixture that also plays on the theme of weaving.
B: The dining area was a new feature for this space. We included stadium type seating for a more casual area, counter height dining and typical table and booth seating. The multiple seating heights provides flexibility for the employees and the space. We also included a communal dining table.
Stadium seating was proposed for the dining area.
T: The client had no changes to the concept you presented. What was the key to your success?
B: Seeing the space, listening to the client and one of the elements that was key to articulating the concept: imagery. Finding the right inspiration images to articulate what I was trying to convey was very important.
Paint chips and swatches for floor coverings.
B: In conveying the concept, I wanted to make a statement that was brief, but powerful. I believe the concept statement and imagery together met all of the clients needs. But the number one reason for the overall success was the collaboration of my peers and the expertise of Professor Liset Robinson. The concept was my idea, but my peers and my professor helped to bring all of my ideas to fruition, and expanded on them. The project couldn't have happened in the given time span without the contribution of everyone on the team.

The City of Flagstaff and the Hopi Tribe are working to resolve a lawsuit over selling reclaimed wastewater to Arizona Snowbowl ski resort to make snow. As Arizona Public Radio's Ryan Heinsius reports, the Hopis claim snowmaking using the reclaimed water is a public nuisance.
The City of Flagstaff has decided to renew a contract to sell wastewater to Arizona Snowbowl for snowmaking. The decision was made by city staff, not by City Council.
The decision comes as a new study questions the economic impact of the ski resort.
The report commissioned by the Hopi Tribe disputes previous economic studies that found a $17 million annual economic impact.
John Duffield, an economics professor at the University of Montana, says previous studies overstated the impact.
When there's snow in northern Arizona, people from around the region flock to Flagstaff for a winter wonderland in the middle of the desert. But in the desert, that snow is unpredictable. And that's been an ongoing problem for the local ski resort, the Arizona Snowbowl -- until now.
After years of planning and fighting in the courts, the ski resort is finally laying the pipelines to make snow out of reclaimed waste water. But local Native American tribes still bitterly oppose the project, as they believe the mountains are sacred.
The Hopi Tribe will appeal a recent ruling in favor of the City of Flagstaff's plan to sell reclaimed wastewater to Arizona Snowbowl.
The Tribal Council recently told its lawyers to appeal the decision by the Coconino County Superior Court.
In his ruling in late December, Judge Joe Lodge said that the major issues in the case have already been decided in federal court.
The tribe's latest suit claims that treated sewage water cannot be used for snowmaking because melted snow could flow into water basins outside of the ski resort.
More than 100 opponents of snowmaking on the San Francisco Peaks marched to the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in San Francisco Monday.
That's where attorneys for the Save the Peaks Coalition were appealing a lower court decision that allowed the U.S. Forest Service to grant a snowmaking permit for Arizona Snowbowl.
The coalition is made up of Native American tribes and environmental groups. The Peaks are sacred to 13 tribes.

Benefits of Oral and Topical Administration of ROQUETTE Chlorella sp. on Skin Inflammation and Wound Healing in Mice
Anti-Inflammatory & Anti-Allergy Agents in Medicinal Chemistry,
13(2): 93-102.

The human body is constantly exposed to the risk of traumatic lesions. Chlorella is a green microalgae enriched with nutrients, vitamins, minerals and chlorophyll. In some communities, Chlorella is a traditional medicinal plant used for the management of inflammation-related diseases. ROQUETTE Chlorella sp. (RCs) was investigated by oral administration (125, 250 and 500 mg/kg) and cutaneous application (2.5, 5.0 and 10.0%) to evaluate its impact in two dermatological disorder models in mice: skin inflammation and wound healing. For skin inflammation, it was administered during 14 days starting one week before the induction of chronic skin inflammation by repeated cutaneous application of 12-Otetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA). For wound healing the microalgae was administered by topical application after scarification of the skin until complete wound healing. Results indicated that oral and topical administrations of the two higher doses of RCs had significant effects on macroscopic score of skin inflammation with an efficient effect on microscopic score with cutaneous application. The microalgae had also efficient effect on healing process and duration of wound healing for both administration routes and particularly at the two highest doses of RCs. These findings suggest that administration of RCs by both oral and topical routes appeared to have beneficial effects on skin lesions.
