"Fightville", with Dustin Poirier and Tim Credeur, does what this movie intends to do. I realize that "BAM" is a fictional piece, but I believe that if you want to represent the sport as a sport in a sanctioned environment then a documentary would be the best way to go.

Never back down was a really good movie but was focused more or street fighting then actual sanctioned mma fights, with the right vision I think an mma movie would do great, but I don't think this is it, only one fight movie comes out a year. Look at the Fighter, was a great movie, but took years to get approval to be able to release world wide.

Sadly, that fight has lost something over time. When it occurred, it *was* awesome. Best evah.

When Daniel Green needed to drop a considerable amount of weight eight years ago, he didn't just go on a diet: He learned to cook and create his own lowfat meals. Nearly 70 pounds lighter, he launched an international modeling career only to find he'd rather be in the kitchen than on the catwalk. Now Green shares cooking tips on British television and here for Self, in this moo shuinspired dish. Its do-it-your Self assembly is perfect for dinner with friends.

Meh. I made this for my kids. They liked it, but I felt it was missing something. Made recipe as stated, but used less oil to make it healthier.flag if inappropriate
If you're looking for the P.F. Chang recipe, you can find it here: http://www.recipezaa r.com/15865. It's delicious.flag if inappropriate
Delicious! I used regular mushrooms, doubled the amount of garlic, and added a generous amount of sriracha for some spice.flag if inappropriate
I was hoping for something like the lettuce wraps you get at PF Changs, so maybe my hopes were too high. I felt the recipe was a little bland, so I ended up pretty much doubling the soy and fish sauce, and added peanut butter, ginger and even salt to add some flavor. I do love the crunch of the water chestnuts and lettuce. I'll probably look for a better recipe next time though.flag if inappropriate
My husband and I just love this dish - there's nothing not to love. And we calculated it, too, to be 2-3 weight-watchers points per wrap, if you're into that kind of thing. Super healthy, filling dinner.flag if inappropriate
This was ok. Not great, not bad, just ok. I wouldn't make it again, but I would not discourage anyone from trying it.flag if inappropriate
This was very good, my entire family liked it and I felt good making a healthy meal. Will make it again and even add more veggies next time.flag if inappropriate
This was very good. I added some hoisen sauce to give it a little extra flavor. I will definitely make this again!flag if inappropriate

5.0 stars 35 totalReview Ashley Jones
Posted by a client
I hired Ashley when my son received an out of state speeding ticket. First, I was able to speak with her the minute I called. She told me that she would do her best to get my son's ticket reduced so it would not go on his record. Every time I emailed or called Ashley, she always responded promptly. I hope never to need another lawyer, but I will keep Ashley's number just in case! If you are looking for a lawyer who is personable, honest, and willing to try her best, call Ashley!
Posted by a client
Ashley is great. She took leaps and bounds for me when I hired her. She is very respectable and never treat me like a criminal, just an equal. She's a very sweet woman and is very quick to respond to calls and E-mails and is very reasonable with pricing. Overall I would recommend Ashley to ANYONE in need of a criminal defense lawyer and so much more!
Posted by Sandy
Ashley Jones, Esq. handled my cases with sensitivity; caring thoughtfulness; criminal justice system intelligence. Her elinteraction with the court, my clinical care providers and myself was blessed from the get go. Attorney Jones personal, professional ethics enabled the whole process to become not just a punitive action; but instead to become a validation for myself. Thak you Ashley Jones Esq.. You are a blessing.
Posted by Charles
Attorney Jones was very helpful with my speeding ticket along with the reckless operation. She was able to get a dismissal on Reckless Operation and the speeding reduced! I walked away paying only court cost......Her rates were very reasonable and she was understanding with the payment.
Posted by Heather
Her office is easy to get to, she knows the law and will fight for you. She talks to you like a person/friend, she has time for you to answer your questions or to talk.You would be crazy not to hire her for your legal needs..110% Awesome
Posted by Dan
I have had my fair share of run-ins with the law, and as a result, I have worked with dozens of lawyers over the years. I can say without hesitation that Ashley Jones is the best I have ever worked with. I do not want to state the exact outcome that Ashley was able to obtain for me because it was so outlandishly amazing that everyone may expect her to work similar miracles on their case, but suffice to say, I was extremely pleased. I utilized Ashley on a multitude of cases that spanned two jurisdictions- Summit County and Lakewood Ohio. To say that my situation was complex and involved would be an understatement (I will say it involved a 3rd OVI charge in addition to 7 OTHER CHARGES), but Ashley got me an outcome better than I could have imagined. I kid you not when I say that both judges remarked how lucky I was to have Ashley as my lawyer before delivering me incredibly favorable sentences. As if literally being told by judges that Ashley was my saving grace was not enough to convince me that Ashley is the one of the greatest attorneys ever, she is also just a remarkable and kind hearted human being. Attorneys with similar prowess often seem to feel that they do not need to answer the phone or return calls, but Ashley is the exception to this rule. She ALWAYS returned phone calls in a timely manner, always calmed me down when I worked myself into an anxiety attack over my cases, and literally did whatever was possible to make me comfortable and prepared for our legal battles. I honestly cannot say enough positive things about Ashley. I am 32 years of age and sadly had to obtain my first lawyer at the tender age of 16, and in the ensuing 16 years I have dealt with no less than 12 different attorneys for a variety of reasons. Ashley was head and shoulders above them all- even ones that cost double what she did. So if you have any type of criminal legal issue, stop reading through AVVO reviews and contact Ashley immediately! She is honest, caring, returns phone calls, and is an amazing attorney on top of it all that was able to turn my horrific legal situation into a manageable one that allowed me to keep my job, sanity, and home. Seriously, stop reading this review and contact Ashley now. You will not regret it. There is simply not a better criminal attorney available in the Ohio area. As a side note, I will say that she is a bargain compared to what her peers charge. So if you want the best attorney possible and one that will truly have your back through the whole process, contact Ashely Jones. Or, you can find a more expensive one who will rip you off and most likely not return your calls and not get you a better verdict than Ashley could, or you could obtain a cheaper attorney that will get you verdict that is not any better than one a court appointed lawyer would obtain. I am not going to leave my full name, but Ashley you know who this is, and thank you for everything you did for me!!! If you need a criminal attorney, CONTACT ASHLEY JONES!! You have nothing to lose and everything to gain!
Posted by Zarina
She was very honest and efficient. I had several lawyers tell me my expungement wasn't possible. She told it me would be hard but she thought she could help! She was affordable and she got the job done! Today my record has been expunged.
Posted by David
Ms. Jones represented me regarding a speeding ticket case. She was very candid, knowledgeable and cordial. She adroitly handled my case which was resolved favorably. I would retain her services again.
Posted by Dan
Attorney Ashley Jones has surpassed my expectations with a criminal case that I truly was innocent on. She worked hard and diligently on my case with a great result. He prices are fair and I high recommend her !
Posted by Christian
I was attempting to file for an expungement of my record. Thought I could do it on my own. Then realized I was in over my head. So I went online and ended up on a site that asked what I needed done and that they'd send out to their lawyer contacts what I was looking for. Ashley was one of three that contacted me back. Right away I felt comfortable with her. She put me at ease. To boot she was fairly priced also. What a great combo. I went in to meet with her and knew she was the lawyer for me. Outside of a lil snafu on the courts part it was quick and painless. Ashley did a great job and always kept me informed of what was going on. So if you are looking for a fair and tough lawyer I highly recommend Ashley Jones. She made the whole process as painless as possible.

Re: silent hill 2
Yoou're in the wrong forum and a google search would've found this:
Unlike traditional numbered locks, the lock of the briefcase employs a four-letter word as its key. This puzzle is one of the few in the game that have randomly generated answers, and as such there is no absolute answer. The process of finding the answer, however, remains constant. Within the same room, on the bed adjacent to the briefcase, are a mess of scattered photos. One of the photos is marked with black marker, presumably emphasizing its importance. The photo, in truth, depicts the briefcase with the four-word key entered on the lock. In order to view the picture, James must use the Thinner obtained earlier in the Basement elevator of the hotel. Once the thinner is used, the photo now shows the randomly-generated word that unlocks the briefcase.

Princess Diana wasn't an ISFP.
This is a discussion on Prince William & Kate Middleton within the Guess the type forums, part of the What's my personality type? category; Princess Diana wasn't an ISFP....
Princess Diana wasn't an ISFP.
Prince William appears to be ENTP, while Kate Middleton is ISFJ.
how yould you people type Pippa - her sister...and her attributes? :D
Edit: After watching a short clip, it is now fairly certain that she is INTP:
Princess Diana was an INTP? News to me.
For example, someone who thinks Diana was INFP might say:
I: Soft-spoken, quiet, maybe humble
N: Focused on the big picture
F: Sweet and nice, good with people
P: Laid-back and open to options
Fi-dominant: in-tune with her own feelings, and perceptive about people
Another arguing for ENTP will say:
E: Likes to be at the center of attention; has many friends
N: Considers "big picture"
T: Ambitious and driven; logical and less in-tune with emotions
P: Laid-back and open to options
Ne-dom: Imaginative and full of new ideas; future oriented mostly
Ti-Fe: Understands others' intentions to a certain extent with Fe, and very logically minded with Ti

A contentious "Rightwing Extremism" report that warned of military veterans as possible recruits for terrorist attacks against the U.S. was not authorized, has been withdrawn and is being rewritten, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told Capitol Hill lawmakers.
"The wheels came off the wagon because the vetting process was not followed," Ms. Napolitano told the House Homeland Security Committee on Wednesday.
"The report is no longer out there," she said. "An employee sent it out without authorization."
The report was shared with state and local law enforcement officials nationwide via the department's internal Web site on April 7, angering Republican lawmakers and military veterans who said it unfairly stereotyped veterans.
Ms. Napolitano did not say when the report was taken off the "intel Web site" and all Homeland Security Department Web sites, but she said it is in the process of being "replaced or redone in a much more useful and much more precise fashion."
Rep. Christopher Carney, Pennsylvania Democrat, said that as a veteran he "took offense personally," and his constituents were offended by the report as well.
"It really hit home hard to me and in our district," Mr. Carney said. "It's not a good start when I go to town hall meetings and I hear people calling for your resignation."
Ms. Napolitano said the report titled "Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment," is not the only report she has seen that says veterans are targets for recruitment by racist and other hate groups.
"It was an assessment, not an accusation," Ms. Napolitano said.
"It didn't say that," Mr. Carney interrupted.
"That's right," Ms. Napolitano responded. "That is why it should not have gone out."
Asked whether the person who wrote the report is still employed, Ms. Napolitano said, "Appropriate personnel action is being taken."
Rep. Peter T. King, the ranking Republican on the committee, said the report "made an impression" in his New York district as well.
"I don't think it reflects well on the department, and I know you want to address it," Mr. King said.
David K. Rehbein, commander of the American Legion, said the withdrawal of the report "validates our objections."

ohhhh so you and thelastgreatest man are the same guy? or both of your mouths just smell like each others cocks?
seriously, dick. If I drank my favorite beer every time I held a beer, Id be broke. (and I make pretty good money)
troll on
... even when I didn't make as much money as I make now, I still never found myself stuck drinking something I didn't like past the age of 22. The real question is if you drank one of your favorite beers every time you held a beer, would you ever take a look at yourself in the mirror and think, "Man, I should go back to Coors Light so people would be disgusted by the thing in my hand instead of the thing that's my face."
I would do whatever I felt like and no ones opinion would ever influence that.
Pretty picture, goat.
and heres my fav brew.
Fire on The Mountain...brewed with snow melt by me, for me.
What is it? It looks too dark for a pale ale.
Nut brown ale...with a lot of honey in there to bump up the %
the growlers are clear...my bottles are all amber tho.
Yummy. I like brown nuts.
my beer tastes like passive theory... you wouldn't want any

It is hydrating.
If any of you clowns can do a weekend with me in havasu, a 20 mile backpacking trip at 12,000 ft, a 48 straight desert party and drink your favorite craft beers Ill pay for all of it and carry it too.
Im pissing in the desert holding two beers for myself and one for my buddy...also on a lot of other substances and its 92 F......seriously books and covers and such.
GTFO with your high horse baller shit. Like your the only people to know about gastro pubs and craft beers. Small minded ego maniacs. I feel bad for you.
and we drank a handle of sailor jerry before we took that hike to bless the rocks with paper and scissors....yeah I'm a drugged idiot. so what! I love my life and yours too...as miserable and snobbish as it might be.

$10 minimum wage will be a reality in California within the next three years. Governor Jerry Brown signed a bill into law that will raise the minimum wage over $2 higher than it stands today by Jan. 1, 2016. According to United Press International on Sept. 13, 2013, the state will have the highest minimum wage in the country.
The measure, called AB10, raises the minimum wage from $8 to $9 per hour on July 1, 2014, and again to $10 on Jan 1, 2016.
The $10 minimum wage was supported by unions but opposed by business groups. Lobbyists for businesses argued that by raising the wage to high, too fast would kill job creation. Advocates for the new law said that it would put an additional $4,000 into the pockets of those likely to spend it most and actually help the economy. More than 90 percent of workers who make minimum wage in California are over the age of 20.
Recently fast food workers held protests in Los Angeles and nationwide. They were asking for a $15 federal minimum wage and were attempting to unionize as well. Although they have not yet achieved their goals, the new California law makes strides in the right direction.
A $10 minimum wage in California will put it ahead of Washington state and Oregon, making the U.S. West coast the highest paying region in the country. Washington automatically increases its minimum wage to keep up with inflation each year.

Although he comes across as self-serving, James may have a point: Kelly has taken a codependent shine to Beau Hutton (Hedlund), a young singer-songwriter who works as an orderly at her rehabilitation center. Kelly refuses to go on tour without her lover and insists on making Beau her opening act. But James has already chosen his protege, beauty-queen-turned-singer Chiles Stanton (Leighton Meester), to warm the crowds. Unable to compromise, the couple take Beau and Chiles on the road, steering the tour toward an inevitable emotional wreck.
Feste deserves credit for populating her on-screen world with multidimensional humans who have singular strengths and flaws. But the filmmaker doesn't give the foursome adequate backstories, leaving viewers with more nagging questions than rooting interest in the characters.
Likewise, the auteur warrants praise for not treating alcoholism as a quick-fix issue, but she earns groans for depending on the old trope of Kelly nursing an injured baby bird as a metaphor for the addict's fragile recovery. The movie explores dark places that aren't reflected in the bright tone of the trailers.
Along with the entertaining concert scenes, "Country Strong" features some poignant moments, particularly when Kelly charms a pediatric cancer patient on a Make-A-Wish mission. But the melodrama hits too many false notes to qualify as a country classic.

Brandon Jacobs, Ahmad Bradshaw help Giants steamroll Redskins
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The cold, the wind, a divisional opponent in December. It all added up to one thing for the New York Giants: run, run and run some more.
With the wind whipping around the New Meadowlands Stadium, the Giants turned to their backfield tandem of Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw. They turned Sunday's meeting with the Washington Redskins into a rout, rushing for all four touchdowns and 200 yards in a 31-7 victory.
"We talked all week, we knew it would be cold," Jacobs said after rushing for 103 yards and two touchdowns. "We did say no dodging, run downhill.
"Running the football is how you win in December. If you don't have that, unless you're an indoor team, you're in trouble."
The Giants never were in trouble. Jacobs set the tone with a 39-yard burst on New York's second play from scrimmage. He soon followed with an 8-yard TD and the Giants were off and running into a first-place tie with Philadelphia atop the NFC East. The Giants (8-4) have won five straight against Washington (5-7), whose playoff chances pretty much disappeared.
"Hey, it's December, we know what to expect here in December, it's the grind-it-out games," guard Chris Snee said. "That's what we look forward to."
"We're in good position. We just have to continue to improve and trying to win out because everyone is winning."
Not Donovan McNabb and the Redskins, who have lost five of seven. McNabb had plenty of success as an Eagles quarterback against New York, but wasn't a factor in his first appearance against the Giants as a Redskin. He wasn't helped by drops from his receivers and the tricky wind, which always has had an impact in the Meadowlands, whether in Giants Stadium or the new structure that opened this year.
And as New York's defense was dominating early on, the Redskins were getting overrun.
"You can't tackle the way we did in the first half and expect to win," coach Mike Shanahan said. "When you have six turnovers in a game, you have no chance to win. There were a lot of mistakes in the first half that kept drives from happening. You do that, you get embarrassed like we did."
Things started well immediately for New York as Danny Ware went 37 yards with the opening kickoff. Jacobs, who had only eight carries, then shed two tacklers to surge down the left side for 39 yards. Moments later, he was dancing in the end zone following his TD run on which he showed nifty footwork with a cutback.
It was the Giants' first opening-drive TD in 13 games.
"We came right out and marched downfield and that got the stadium excited," said Jacobs, who added he is having more fun this year than in the Giants' 2007 championship season.
Soon after Jacobs opened the onslaught, running mate Bradshaw scored on a 4-yard run for a 14-0 edge. Working behind a jumbled offensive line due to injuries, Bradshaw also had a 10-yard burst to make it 21-0 at halftime -- and it could have been much worse for Washington. London Fletcher intercepted Eli Manning's underthrown pass in the end zone on first down from the Redskins 4.
No matter. With Washington unable to move the ball or regularly turning it over, the romp was on.
Bradshaw's second touchdown was set up by Anthony Armstrong's fumble that Terrell Thomas returned 10 yards to the Washington 35. And Jacobs' 28-yard jaunt on which he high-stepped into the end zone in the third quarter to make it 28-0 followed McNabb's fumble at the Redskins 46.
Jacobs, who got back his starting job last week but splits the carries with Bradshaw, went over 100 yards on that score. Bradshaw wound up with 97 and is at 1,013 for the season.
"He played powerfully, broke some tackles," Giants coach Tom Coughlin said of Jacobs, who became the starter because of Bradshaw's fumbling issues. "He established a good foundation for us running the ball."
Then Bradshaw took over.
"We love challenges," Bradshaw said of the one-two running punch. "We feed off each other."
McNabb won his last four starts against the Giants while an Eagle, but other than his 33-yard strike to a wide-open Armstrong, he did little. He was sacked four times, twice by first-round draftee Jason Pierre-Paul, and threw an end-zone interception to Thomas. It was a career-high 14th pick McNabb has thrown in a season -- he added another on the final play -- and the Redskins lost four fumbles.
Game notes
New York's Lawrence Tynes made his 13th straight field goal, a 28-yarder with 9 minutes remaining. ... Manning finished 15 of 25 for 161 yards, and was not sacked for the fifth straight game ... McNabb wound up 26 of 44 for 296 yards.

City tour was informative and well worth the effort. We saw all the places listed in the itinerary and had plenty of time for photos at each stop. Thank you for a job well done.
Our guide Kenneth, was great who was very informative. It was great trip. Great way to see the city! I just loved the tour.
The tour was excellent. To ride over the Golden Gate Bridge and then stop on the other side was great. There were several stops on the tour that were perfect for picture taking. Our guide was very good and also very accommodating. I use a wheelchair and he was very attentive at each stop. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who only has a short amount of time in San Francisco. It gives you a great overview in a short amount of time.
I was in San Francisco for a conference and had only one day to see the city. I've never been to San Francisco before so I wanted to make the most of the time. The bus tour was great! The tour showed us the sights and our driver/guide was full of information and knowledge about the city's history, its architecture, and people. I am planning to come back for a personal vacation and now have a really good idea of the places I want to return to to explore further. My two colleagues that were also on the bus tour both agreed that it was the best day of our trip. Thank you!
A great way to start our SF trip. our driver knows just about everything about SF and so funny as well.
Very nice overview!
Greg was a great guide, very funny and informative.
Perfect to see most things in SF.
Glad we did it! Would recommend it in a heart beat.
And the driver of the bus, the tour guide?
Awesome. He was born for the job.
Ellie, Chicago IL
This tour was well worth it. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and very responsive to people's questions. we had a blast and would recommend it!
Greg was fantastic!!!! Great tour.
The Best! The tour guide was fabulous!
One of the 3 of us had never been to S.F. before and it gave her an excellent overview of the city. We enjoyed our driver, Joe, and his perspective and history of the city entertained and educated us. I would recommend this tour to anyone and everyone.
Great way to see the city! Tour guide/ bus driver was fantastic!
Trip was great! The tour guide was excellent, he was very knowledgeable of the area and not only took us to all the key spots in San Francisco, but also suggested restaurants in those areas. Both Scoma's at the Warf and Hunan Homes in China town were excellent and of course we can't forget the hot fudge sundae in Ghirardelli Square. Was a trip to remember!!
Great! We liked guide, too. (Wolfgang) 0
We have taken many tours over the years for the city and beyond, but this trip was by far the best ever. The driver was very informative and knew his way around San Francisco, he also had several helpful hints for the rest of our week. If we ever go back we will definitally use this service again.
Three of us took this afternoon tour and it could not have been better. Our driver was very pleasant and helpful and gave us so much wonderful information about the highlites of old San Francisco as well as the present. It was a beautiful day !
Our guide Greg, was great. He stated great historical details about the city. He told us the best views for pictures. Lands end was a beautiful spot to take pictures. Also took us though the state park. He takes about the earthquakes, the famous houses, showed us nob hill, Castro district, explained the different neighborhoods. We went by Chinatown, Japan town, since some event was going one around the civic center. We also saw the golden gate bridge, and could walk a tiny portion if we wanted. This was really enjoyable tour.
Nice trip, great city, just the weather...

While I am a native San Franciscan, I haven't lived there for fifty years. This tour was fun for me and my grandsons. I enjoyed pointing out to them the changes in the city and favorite former haunts. The tour was extensive and comprehensive and our driver/guide was excellent. The view of the city from Twin Peaks was spectacular!
Very well done. Excellent tour guide who was very informative. Several of our guests were first time visitors to San Francisco and very much enjoyed the tour as it gave them a good overview of the city.
We had a great time. Our guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating.
I would highly reccomend
We really enjoyed this tour. It hit the highlights of SF. I could tell our tour guide was relatively new to his job, as he did not provide a lot of details about the city (at least not as much as other SF tours I have been on). Overall, we enjoyed ourselves.
Perfect for those with limited time in the city. My mother-in-law and I arrived in San Francisco rented a car went to lunch at the Cliff House and made it to hotel where the driver awaited to takes us to meet the tour bus.
Joe was very friendly funny and informative. We were tired (up since 4am) and with only half a day to discover San Francisco. The next day we were to head out early on our road trip up hwy 1 to 101 all the way to Seattle.The tour was the best option for us.
