Black cherry hue with really nice bouquet of ripe blackberry and spruce tree with plum and cigar box notes and a touch of dark baker's chocolate.
Palate--Delicious, black berry and plum fruit bomb with integrated flavors and structure. Drinking peak this is a great example of Sebastian's wonder working power of their wines at all price points.
I paid $10 for this and I will pick up more. I paired it with spicy venison chili and it was awesome so raise a glass.
Rich dark berry hue with nice aromas of rustic cherry and dark berry fruit with cigar box hints or cedar caraway notes. Very nice!
Perfectly integrated with beautiful structure and zesty, evergreen laced with blackberry and cherry.
Normally price around $26 I found this on sale for half price at a state liquor store. I will be grabbing several more bottles next week as I pass through this state.
(NW) of this blog and our wives had this fine wine on a trip to Italy a few years ago. What other beverage is the carrier of memories, smells and visions of fine world class art and history like a good bottle of wine. Raise a glass to this absolutely peaked wine which should be solid for a couple more years!
Pretty pink with a touch of orange in the hue and a tantalizing, cinnamony, strawberry bouquet and candy apple to boot!
Palate--Wonderfully sparkling with summery fresh strawberry fruit juice in a beautiful package that even has a lingering presence.
This would be so stinking good on a hot summery day or even a cool autumn eve on the porch. It is tasty, balanced, lively and we shall pair it with fresh Maine Lobster in just a few minutes. Oh yeah,
and at $5 ( a Trader Joe's value) you just cannot go wrong so raise a glass!!!
Always a well rounded Zin at the $10 price point, this one is basically over the hill. Slight bricking at the rim, with pruney aromas--classic of an over aged red--
Palate--Raisins/prunes, with hints of blackberry remnants.
I bothered to blog this when I would otherwise write it off as a wine that is gone as it might be helpful when you also get a wine that is beyond is peak.
Cline typically makes solid Zins so look for a younger one and raise a glass!
Straw hue with bouquet of light summer aromas which do appear to be honeysuckle and white melon pleasant.
Palate--big summery fruit flavors with solid acidic foundation.
Chill this wine right down and enjoy it on a hot summer day. At the sub $6 price point how can go wrong? So raise a Summer glass!
Vanilla twinged tropical fruit in a gentle gold presentation.
Palate--This 4 year old Chardonnay is perfectly peaked right now! This is a creamy, butter textured wine with integrated flavors of mandarin orange,baked honey, and a slightly bitter finish that keeps delivering ripe tropical fruit and green apple on the very end.
Many Chardonnays tend to fade quickly after 3 years but this one is luscious, with a seductive mouth feel and if you see one laying around soon, grab it, it will be a bargain. At $12 you won't find a better Chard out there so raise a glass!
Medium garnet hue with good aromas of fresh red summer berries and cherry accompaniment.
Palate--Pleasant structure,with amazingly forthright cherry berry flavors that are much better than the price point of this wine would suggest. Barbera like Montepulciano are easy drinking, fruit forward wines that are just pleasant by themselves or make a good accompaniment to all kinds of food.
Barbera is widely planted and is the go-to wine of many Italians who live in the Piedmont region, home to the famed Nebbiolo grape. This one cost me a pittance and if I remember correctly somewhere in the $6 range. I read some "reviews" of this wine where it was panned; not sure what they were drinking but THIS wine is a summer stock up wine for the patio and porch and pizza so raise a glass!!!
Pale green with aromas of solid Sauvignon grassiness with touches of Granny Smith apples and nice notes of vanilla.
Palate--Tart first impression with razor sharp acidity. Subdued melon, grapefruit and very tart green apple finishing with a hint of vanilla a touch of bitters and more light apple.
This is a typical Sauvignon Blanc that will cleanse your pallet of any sort of pallet clinging fat, butter or grease produced from grapes from the Carmel Valley.
I love really acidic whites but even for my preference this one is a bit over blown eclipsing the essence of the fruit that is there.
At the $20 price point this is inflated from the more balanced and finessed S. Blancs for the half the price.
Nice black cherry hue with a bouquet of black cherry and loads of pungent cedar.
Palate--Front of steely,bready flavors with mid palate of bold black cherry and a touch of cola. Finishes with a slight linger of dark fruit and a hint of smoke.
Years ago I stumbled onto this Chilean wine and was wowed by it. I was paying around $12 for it and it was always great. Now it runs around $18-$20 and is still a solid example of Cabernet Sauvignon. For years I followed Concha Y Toro as they were one of those reliable producers who just did it right!
This is classic Chilean Cabernet and is still a fairly decent value so raise a glass!
Pale straw with gentle aromas of sweet mixed tropical fruit.
Palate--Lacking the kind of bold acid foundation I like in my white wines, it has enough to carry off the sweet, off dry loveliness of the Riesling grape. Nice simple flavors of stone fruits and tropical fruit compote with a quick finish.
This wine in the blue bottle is a German creation from the Nahe. Makes a good summer aperitif chilled down though I will be serving it with baked cod with a Dijon/jalapeno/honey glaze with toasted buttered panko crust.
Found at the $10 price point, raise a glass!
Cherry colored hue with aromas of strong strawberry and candied cherries with touches of smoke, cocoa and spice.
Palate--Full flavored big Pinot Noir with robust structure and wild cherry/strawberry fruit with a finish of light smoke and oak.
I paid $14 for this Pinot marked down from $22. It is one of those wines bottled under another label other than the real producer. It's a lot for wine for $14 and a raise another glass kind of wine!

WASHINGTON – With Maryland's tax free week ending with the close of business Aug. 20 and schools in the area getting ready to start up, shopping is on almost everyone's mind. The question remains whether the best deals can be found in person, or online.
Add Maryland's 6 percent tax break to clothes and shoes costing less than $100 and the greatest savings are likely to be at brick and mortar locations.
A secret shopper study detailed in PC Magazine finds in-store purchases cost $21 less on average compared to purchases made online.
Those savings are equal to about $1 a minute when comparing time devoted to shopping. Online shopping takes about 20 minutes less than shopping at brick and mortar stores. That doesn't include time spent driving to store locations.
Shipping costs for online purchases account for about half the difference in prices.
Other online shopping criticisms from the study include some items being harder to find online. Also, online purchases frequently show up in multiple boxes, sometimes over many delivery days.
The study compared pricing on a shopping list of set items, customer service, and shipping at Target, Walmart, Costco, Staples, Office Max, and Office Depot. Among those stores the secret shoppers preferred Office Depot for both online and in- person shopping.
Time for back-to-school shopping is quickly slipping away for some. School starts next week in Prince George's, Calvert and St. Mary's in Maryland and Fauquier and Spotsylvania counties in Virginia.
D.C. and many Maryland school systems begin Monday, Aug. 27. Most Virginia school systems begin the academic year Tuesday, Sept. 4.

The shoe does not look different than the picture. The fit is great, even with my wide foot. I haven't had any problem with the ankle or had any blisters at all. Wear them to school (7am-9pm) and can walk around, jump, and of course you get the normal tired feet of running around all day, but it isn't an added pain because of the shoe :)
Received for Christmas. I'm happy with purchase.

My brother-in-law and I were looking to hunt a new area this year due to the declining antelope numbers across most of South Dakota where we have archery hunted the past 2 seasons. Last weekend we spent a day-and-a-half looking for our continent's fastest land mammal. Needless to say, we were more than pleasantly surprised when we encountered 600-700 of them in this short period (FYI – 90% of these were on public land)!
When we would find an antelope we marked it on my GPS; gave it a special reference code for the GPS waypoint; recorded this waypoint into a journal and took notes on its features, rough score, behavior, what it was doing, where we thought it was headed to/coming from, time of sighting, etc.; then I would take a picture of the antelope with my digital camera/spotting scope. Now we are transferring this information to maps and re-naming each digital photo with the special code for each waypoint so we have a visual reference and GPS location to each antelope so we can put together a game plan before the archery opener. Of the 600-700 antelope we saw, we marked and made notes detailing about 105 bucks (no duplicates). Of these bucks, and using Mike's 4x7 scoring system, we estimated that a majority of them were Pope and Young, with several in the 70-75" range. I don't think we saw one that quite pushed 80" though.
Alright, there's a little background to precede a few questions I have for you guys based on the behavior of the speed goats we saw this weekend (sorry this is a bit lengthy...feel free to answer just certain questions if you want).
The first question I have, or at least observation that we made, was that the largest bucks were either by themselves or with harems of does that contained no other bucks. We saw many bachelor groups of bucks as well, but a lot of these groups consisted of smaller bucks and maybe a few nicer ones mixed in every now and then. These groups numbered in quantity of 5, 7, and even 14 bucks (and a few in between). I guess my question would be that is it typical for larger, more dominant bucks to isolate themselves this time of year and in some cases already be gathering their harems? This was August 6th and 7th when we observed this. Also, of these bachelor groups, will all the bucks stay in the same general area over the fall or will they spread-out much? Will the larger bucks stay in the same area?
The second question is that when we spotted the bucks, a lot of them, and probably mainly the more dominant and larger ones, would make scrapes in front of us. They knew we were there so was that a way of showing aggression towards us to "protect" their harem" or were they just nervous? Most of the time this occurred when there were other does around. They would paw at the ground and then make droppings where they just scraped. Is this common this time of year?
The last question I have is that the area that we scouted consists of 95%+ of grassland and pastures (like most antelope country), but there are a few small alfalfa hay fields and some cut grass hay fields (round hay bales are still sitting in some of them). It seemed that we would find antelope in these areas, especially early morning and evenings. I know they probably use this as a feeding area but I also know they feed on the taller, uncut grass as well. I did spot some of the antelope bedded right in the alfalfa in the middle of the day so I am uncertain if they were bedded there or feeding there? Maybe both at the same time? If I were looking to setup a ground blind, when can I expect the antelope to feed, bed, and water? I am uncertain if they also bed in these fields? Do antelope feed all night? I know they feed throughout the day and water in the day because of their small stomachs. How and when do I hunt this area and get in and out without spooking the antelope? What times of day and night do they generally a) feed, b) bed, and c) water? Any more insight on this would be extremely helpful.
Also, I have attached a few pictures of the antelope we spotted. Feel free to give your best guesses on their scores if you want or just look take a peek for your enjoyment! The picture file name format is "AB*-11" where the "*" is the number of the buck so you can see which pictures are of the same buck. Also, these are in my personal album "2011 Antelope Scouting" if you want to see additional photos since I can only upload 5 per post. Thanks a lot guys for your responses in advance! Good luck this fall!

A statewide poll says Georgians generally support three key gun-control measures proposed by President Obama.
But some groups -- whites, Republicans and conservatives -- remain skeptical of some of those proposals, the poll says.
RELATED | Locals React to President Obama's Gun Control Proposals
By much wider margins, Georgians across the board oppose three moves in the General Assembly to expand gun-owners' rights, the poll says.
The poll was commissioned by our Atlanta sister station, WXIA-TV. SurveyUSA surveyed 500 Georgians statewide, just hours after President Obama unveiled his proposals.
They asked about three proposals announced by President Obama on Wednesday and about three bills in the Georgia General Assembly.
About a third of the people polled were in the Atlanta area. Another 35 percent were in northwest Georgia and 32 percent were in south or central Georgia.
The survey says:
56 percent of Georgians support a federal ban on assault weapons. 38 percent were opposed.
The ban would not affect assault weapons that people already own.
While most groups identified in the poll supported the ban, most whites, Republicans and conservatives were opposed.
People who said they owned no guns or one gun favored the ban; people who owned more than one gun were opposed.
The poll has a 4.4 point margin of error for the question about assault weapons.
Georgians supported Obama's call for background checks by a much wider margin: 75 percent said yes, 20 percent said no. All of the groups polled supported that move by margins of 30 points or more -- including whites, Republicans and conservatives.
People also backed a proposal to limit how much ammunition a gun could hold, by 56 percent to 38 percent.
The poll said Republicans, conservatives and multiple gun owners opposed the measure.
By large margins, Georgians opposed three moves to broaden gun-owners' rights in the state.
The poll says:
80 percent oppose eliminating Georgia's requirement of a permit to carry a concealed weapon;
64 percent oppose allowing people to carry guns into churches;
and 65 percent oppose allowing guns on college campuses.
Opposition to the bills was broad. It cut across boundaries race, political preference and gun ownership.
The General Assembly is expected to consider those bills in its 2013 session.

Sharp Rise of C-Sections Defies Best Evidence and Best Practice
The U.S. c-section rate jumped to 29.1% in 2004. This record-setting preliminary figure from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention represents a sharp increase of more than 40% over 8 years (Hamilton 2005).
Why is the c-section rate rising?Many factors are driving cesarean rates up, including:
Why are healthy mothers and babies experiencing surgical birth when there is no medical reason?Birth certificates are the primary source of national data on cesarean births. A recent analysis found that more and more U.S. women who have c-sections have no sign of any medical need for this surgery on their birth certificate (Declercq 2005).
What is driving these surgical procedures? Many policy, research and media reports assume that "elective" cesareans (with no medical rationale) are "maternal request" or "patient choice" cesareans. Because birth certificates and most other data sources provide no information about decision making processes and the motivation of participants, it is wrong and irresponsible to equate c-sections that had no apparent medical cause with "patient choice" cesareans.
One report that looked at this question found that most cesareans with no medical rationale were proposed by doctors, not mothers (Kalish 2004). When mothers ask for such surgery, it is important to understand their motivation, including whether they had access to balanced accurate information on harms and benefits of cesarean versus vaginal birth, access to choices and support for their choices. We need to better understand why women request a c-section with no medical reason, but this should not divert attention from physician and hospital led influences on escalating cesarean rates (Gamble 2000).
Many obstetricians have begun to support "patient choice" cesarean, but do not support women's right to choose vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC), vaginal breech birth, and out-of-hospital birth, although the best research suggests that these would be reasonable choices for many women.
This selective support for women's right to choose surgical birth raises important questions about motivation and conflicts of interest. Cesareans may be attractive to providers who feel that the surgical procedures reduce their risk of being sued or help them better schedule and control their professional and personal lives. They may be attractive to hospitals due to increased revenue relative to vaginal birth (see "What are the financial implications...", below). An independent investigation is urgently needed to clarify whether these conflicts of interest are driving cesarean rates up and jeopardizing the health of mothers and babies.
What are the health costs of c-sections with little or no benefit?To provide evidence-based guidance to women and other stakeholders, Childbirth Connection carried out the first and only systematic review to identify the full range of harms that may be worse with c-section or vaginal birth.
Many adverse effects did differ, and nearly all favored vaginal birth. Here is the main conclusion:
The following adverse effects were more likely with c-sections:
In short, unnecessary c-sections pose plenty of risk to mothers and babies, and offer no clear benefit.
What are the financial implications of a runaway c-section rate?There is another cesarean-related cost. On average, hospitals charge many thousands of dollars more for a c-section than for vaginal birth. And among the hundreds of procedures performed in U.S. hospitals, c-section is the most common one.
In 2003, U.S. hospitals charged an average of
The most common reason for hospitalization in the U.S. is a woman having a baby, and there are over 4 million births every year. Avoidable cesarean surgery adds billions of dollars to the burden of health care costs for governments, employers and individuals in the U.S. Access to health care coverage is jeopardized, and health care costs threaten the economic stability of governments, businesses and families. We cannot afford to tolerate costly, avoidable surgical procedures.
What is the ideal c-section rate?As c-sections have troubling health and financial downsides, they should only be used when they offer a clear, established health benefit. Although needs vary from woman to woman, very low c-section rates are possible for the majority of mothers and babies who are healthy. Both the largest ever study of women giving birth in birth centers (Rooks 1989) and the largest ever study of women giving birth at home (Johnson 2005) found that just 4% of those who began labor in those settings had a c-section. Moreover, neither study found evidence that these low rates and this type of care posed extra risk for mothers and babies when compared to similar healthy mothers and babies experiencing hospital birth. However, as the Johnson report points out, 19% of low-risk mothers end up with c-sections in U.S. hospitals.
"Practice style" (and thus, the likelihood of using cesareans and other maternity interventions) can vary greatly from one maternity provider to another and one place of birth to another. The largest birth center and home birth studies underscore the value of careful choice of maternity caregiver and place of birth.
Variation in practice style also has major cost implications, as shown in the birth charges graph (PDF): in comparison with average hospital charges of $6,239 (plus charges for newborn care and anesthesiology services) for an uncomplicated vaginal birth, the average birth center charge was $1,624 (with no extra newborn or anesthesia charges) in 2003.

Urine CultureSkip to the navigation
Test Overview
A urine culture is a test to find and identify germs (usually bacteria) that may be causing a urinary tract infection (UTI) . Urine in the bladder normally is sterile—it does not contain any bacteria or other organisms (such as fungi ). But bacteria can enter the urethra and cause an infection.
A urine sample is kept under conditions that allow bacteria and other organisms to grow. If few or no organisms grow, the test is negative. If organisms grow in numbers large enough to indicate an infection, the culture is positive. The type of organisms causing the infection are identified with a microscope or by chemical tests.
Urinary tract infections are more common in women and girls than in men. This may be partly because the female urethra is shorter and closer to the anus , which allows bacteria from the intestines to come into contact more easily with the urethra. Men also have an antibacterial substance in their prostate gland that reduces their risk.
If the urine culture is positive, other tests may be done to help choose which antibiotic will do the best job treating the infection. This is called sensitivity testing.
Why It Is Done
A urine culture may be done to:
- Find the cause of a urinary tract infection (UTI).
- Make decisions about the best treatment for a UTI. This is called sensitivity testing.
- Find out whether treatment for a UTI worked.
How To Prepare
You do not need to do anything before you have this test. If you are taking or have recently taken antibiotics , tell your doctor.
You will need to collect a urine sample. Avoid urinating just before having this test.
Talk to your doctor about any concerns you have regarding the need for the test, its risks, how it will be done, or what the results will mean. To help you understand the importance of this test, fill out the medical test information form (What is a PDF document?) .
How It Is Done
You will be asked to collect a clean-catch midstream urine sample for testing. The first urine of the day is preferred because bacterial levels will be higher.
Clean-catch midstream urine collection
This method helps protect the urine sample from germs that are normally found on the penis or vagina.
- Wash your hands before collecting the urine.
- If the collection container has a lid, remove it carefully and set it down with the inner surface up.
- Clean the area around
your penis or vagina.
- A man should retract the foreskin, if present, and clean the head of his penis thoroughly with medicated towelettes or swabs.
- A woman should spread open the folds of skin around her vagina with one hand, then use her other hand to clean the area around her vagina and urethra thoroughly with medicated towelettes or swabs. She should wipe the area from front to back to avoid spreading bacteria to the vagina that is normally found around the anus.
- Begin urinating into the toilet or urinal. A woman should continue holding apart the folds of skin around the vagina while she is urinating.
- After the urine has flowed for several seconds, place the collection container in the stream and collect about 60 mL (2 fl oz) of this "midstream" urine without stopping the flow.
- Do not touch the rim of the container to your genital area.
- Do not get toilet paper, hair, feces, or menstrual blood in the urine sample.
- Finish urinating into the toilet or urinal.
- Carefully replace the lid on the container. Wash your hands. Return the urine sample to the lab. If you are collecting the urine at home and cannot get it to the lab within an hour, refrigerate the sample. It can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours. Follow the instructions from your lab.
How It Feels
Collecting a urine sample does not cause pain.
There is no chance for problems while collecting a urine sample.
A urine culture is a test to detect and identify organisms (usually bacteria) that may be causing a urinary tract infection (UTI) . Urine culture results are usually ready in 1 to 3 days. Some organisms take longer to grow in the culture; for this reason, results may not be available for several days.
No bacteria or other organisms (such as fungi ) grow in the culture. The culture result is negative.
Organisms (usually bacteria) grow in the culture. The culture result is positive.
A count of 100,000 or more bacteria per milliliter (mL) of urine may be caused by an infection. A count ranging from 100 to 100,000 could be either caused by infection or by contamination of the sample (you may need a repeat urine culture). If the count is 100 or less, infection is unlikely; however, a count of 100 or less may also be seen if you are already taking antibiotics.
If test results are positive, sensitivity testing may be done to help make decisions about treatment.
What Affects the Test
Reasons you may not be able to have the test or why the results may not be helpful include:
- Taking antibiotics or just finished taking them.
- Taking water pills ( diuretics ) or drinking a large amount of liquid. This may dilute your urine and reduce the number of bacteria in the sample.
- Taking a lot of vitamin C.
What To Think About
- A urine culture done in the early stage of a urinary tract infection (UTI) may be less accurate than one that is done after the infection becomes established.
- A urine culture may be done when an abnormal result from a urinalysis (such as an increased number of white blood cells) shows signs of an infection. To learn more, see the topic Urine Test.
- A urine culture may be repeated after the UTI has been treated to make sure the infection is cured.
- A health professional may collect a urine sample by placing a urinary catheter into the bladder. This method is sometimes used to collect urine from a person in the hospital who is very ill or unable to provide a clean-catch sample. Using a catheter to collect a urine sample reduces the chance of getting bacteria from the skin or genital area in the urine sample, but catheter use sometimes causes a UTI.
- People who have a urinary catheter in place for a long time are at high risk for developing a UTI.
- Collecting a urine sample from a small child or baby may be done by using a special plastic bag with tape around its opening (a U bag). The bag is attached around the child's genitals until he or she urinates (usually within an hour). Then the bag is carefully removed. To collect a urine sample from a very sick baby, a doctor may insert a needle through the baby's abdomen directly into the bladder (suprapubic tap).
- To diagnose tuberculosis that has spread to the urinary tract, a special test will be done using all of the first morning urine on three separate days.
- Sensitivity testing helps your doctor choose the best medicine to treat specific types of bacteria or fungus that may be causing a UTI.
- Some types of bacteria or fungi may take several weeks to grow in the culture.

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA)-- A Georgetown University released just over two hours ago, says breast cancer patients can save their nipples safely.
After 21 years of performing Nipple Sparing Mastectomies (NSM) on women with disease or those at risk, doctors say NSM is a safe and effective option.
Prior to this study, there was concern this type of surgery would pose a threat of recurrance because of the chance cancerous cells would be left under the nipple.
Dr. Shawna Willey of Georgetown University Hospital spoke with 9NEWS NOW's Andrea Roane about why after two decades, doctors are now ready to say nipple sparing surgery is safe.

A group of Majorcan friends arrived for supper in sombre mood. I worried that there had been an accident in the town but no, they'd heard the news of the death of Baroness Margaret Thatcher and wanted to show their respect.
Later as they raised their glasses to her memory –although in truth they seemed to know her best from Meryl Streep's portrayal of her in the film The Iron Lady – they asked whether I'd ever met her. I hesitated because although at the tender age of 24 I had indeed had an encounter with Britain's first female head of government, it was in truth a rather comical episode. At the time I was working for Norris McWhirter, the founder of the Guinness Book of Records, who had arranged for a photograph to be taken of all the female MPs in the House of Commons –a record number… Read more

Paul Daley (29-12-2 MMA, 0-0 BFC) was "shocked" by an interview his upcoming opponent gave about their fight at Bellator 72, and now, he's gotten riled up against the advice of his coaches.
The recent Bellator signee – and veteran of every major promotion that's existed in the past half-decade – said Rudy Bears (14-10 MMA, 2-4 BFC) has insulted him by calling him the favorite to win.
"Rudy, you're not the underdog, man," Daley today told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). "You're just another tough guy."
Bellator 72 takes place at USF Sun Dome in Tampa, Fla. The event's main-card airs live on MTV2 while preliminary-card fights stream on Spike.com.
Bears, a Bellator vet with a record pockmarked by losses, gave an interview to the site earlier today in which he spoke of his criminal background and a hope Daley was underestimating him.
"He has no idea what kind of situations I've been in or people that I've been associated with," Daley fumed. "He has no idea, but that's not what I need to talk about. My fights prove how tough I am. I haven't got to say I'm the tough kid from the streets. Because that's not something to be proud of, and that's not who I am today."
It's hard to imagine Daley doesn't have thicker skin after all the ups and downs of his nine-year career, but perhaps his anger is telling.
The 29-year-old Brit has had a rough go of it in the past year, spending much of it languishing on the shelf before being released by Strikeforce in the wake of a lackluster performance against Kazuo Misaki.
A brilliant knockout artist flawed in the ground game, Daley has beat just about all those who would stand with him and fallen short against grapplers that exploited his gap in knowledge. Against Misaki, though, he was simply outworked and outstruck.
Then there are his well-documented struggles with weight and a highly publicized incident at UFC 113 where he punched Josh Koscheck after the bell in a No. 1 contenders bout.
After falling short in bids for titles in the now-defunct EliteXC, UFC and Strikeforce, Daley only has so many more chances to stay relevant on the world stage. And Bears' statement, while typical of pre-fight hype, might feel like a backhanded compliment.
"I trained [expletive] hard for this fight, and Rudy is going to be in for a big, big [expletive] shock," Daley said. "I've had some bad decisions recently (and had things) not go my way, and if he thinks I've looked at this fight lightly being that it's my first fight in Bellator and come thinking the win's already mine – no.
"I've trained knowing that I've got to earn this win, and that's what Rudy should be worried about. Rudy should be worried that I don't think he's the underdog. I think he's a tough guy, and I'm going to beat him down like he's a tough guy, regardless of what upbringing he's had."
Bellator first approached Daley after the incident with Koscheck that got him a pink slip from the UFC. At the time, Daley said the then-fledgling promotion's offer wasn't right, but he kept tabs on it as it fought to break out of the UFC's shadow. Two years later, after Viacom purchased a controlling interest in the tournament-based brand with plans of giving it a bigger stage next year on Spike TV, he said he now understands Bellator's "vision" and wants to be a part of it.
That Bellator now has clout? Can't hurt.
"I've got a great character," Daley said. "I've got great ideas and values that people haven't seen because they haven't been given the opportunity. And Bellator's going to give me the opportunity, and I'm going to give them fantastic fights and be champion for a great organization."
But while Daley said his contract allows for tournament and non-tournament bouts, he's not guaranteed a shot in the promotion's Season 7 welterweight tournament, which kicks off in September. That ups the stakes for Friday's fight, which serves as the co-main event. Despite a pregnant girlfriend at home, he hopes to get another non-title fight in September if the tournament doesn't come through.
The goal, of course, is to fight his way to welterweight champ Ben Askren.
"But I'll take whatever fights they give to me," Daley said. "I'm just here to win. I feel like, especially being from England, I don't get enough credit that I deserve. There are a lot of British guys doing great things, but I've been doing it longer than the majority of them, and I've been competing at a higher level and beating higher-level guys for a longer time.
"I haven't got the credit for it yet, and Bellator seems to agree with me on that. They see my vision, and hopefully, by the time I'm finished in this game, I'll get recognition for the work that I've done."
Bears, then, might not look like a big step at the moment. But consider the staircase Daley needs to climb, and the fall he could take, and you might see why he's so worked up.
For the latest on Bellator 72, stay tuned to the MMA Rumors section of the site.

Belmont County needs to swipe that water reclamation plant that wants to go into North Wheeling.

Expect tight security at Rock 'n' Roll Marathon
San Diego Runners and spectators at next Sunday's Rock 'n' Roll Marathon can expect tighter security, but they may not necessarily notice it.
If anything, participants will see a greater uniformed presence — of both police and private security — along the race route that winds through several San Diego neighborhoods.
The heightened security is merely a precaution, but something authorities are taking seriously in the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombing that killed three and wounded more than 250 on April 15.
"To us, this is an event we've never had a problem with in the past, and we have no information of any threat to this event," said San Diego police Lt. Kevin Mayer.
Organizers and law enforcement are hesitant to give many details about their security plans or staffing numbers, to keep an element of surprise. But there are standard measures taken at such events, including sweeping the race routes for explosives, using bomb-sniffing dogs, detective for hazardous materials and having undercover officers blend into the crowd.
"There will be officers plainly visible, and others in an undercover capacity," Mayer confirmed.
Authorities are also urging the public to be vigilant.
"If you see something out of the ordinary, don't ignore it," Mayer said. "Find somebody in authority and report it."
About 30,000 runners have registered for the marathon and half marathon and another 20,000 to 30,000 spectators are expected to turn out.
Marathons provide different security challenges than a closed, ticketed event like a Super Bowl game. This event has miles and miles of public access throughout. The route is even longer this year, with the half marathon branching off on a separate path earlier than before.
The full marathon begins at Balboa Park, snakes north to Clairemont, and ends at Petco Park for the first time since the ballpark opened in 2004. And the half marathon winds through North Park and Normal Heights for the first time in the event's 16 years.
Organizers have held monthly briefings with local, state and federal law enforcement and emergency services, discussing intelligence reports from the FBI. Those meetings will turn into daily briefings this week. On race day, representatives from all agencies will run the event in a command center.
"We are continually evaluating and conducting threat assessments," Mayer said. "We adjust our tactics all the way up to the actual event."
The county is bringing additional communication resources for the event.
FBI Supervisory Special Agent Todd Temple, who runs a counterterrorism threat squad, said much of the extra security is being done behind the scenes and won't be visible to the public.
As is done every year of the race, doctors, paramedics and other medical personnel will also be staged along the route and at the finish line. Hospitals in the area are all on alert and their on-call lists set.
"You're never completely ready, the job is never done," said Patty Skoglund, Scripps Health's director of disaster preparedness. "We're always constantly on alert, always analyzing and hopefully preparing for what you think may happen."
She said disasters like the Boston bombing validate the need for preparedness and training, which are held regularly in the county.
"It makes the practice more real. It's hard to stimulate interest in practice sometimes, and this always opens the window of opportunity," Skoglund said.
The county's medical operations center, which serves as a regional hub for communications and transportation in mass casualty incidents, will also be monitoring the marathon Sunday and can swing into action if needed.
Escondido police and about a dozen other law enforcement agencies put their post-Boston security plans to the test a few weeks ago with the Amgen Tour of California pro bike race. The event was hailed as a success.

25 headstones have been knocked over and destroyed in a private family cemetery in Pamlico County. Authorities say some of the headstones were more than 100 years old.
Family members say they visit the Ed Stanley Brinson Cemetery every few weeks, but after hearing that many of the headstones had been damaged, Danny Piner says he made a special trip to the cemetery where he found several headstones knocked over and broken, and one grave was even broken into.
"This is a desecration against not only the graves but the family's memories and the things that they have to live with, and it's an insult to the community for someone to go around and do something of this nature," said Lt. Billy Jewel of the Pamlico County Sheriff's Department.
Lt. Jewel says the amount of damage could cost up to $4500- a cost the family will have to pay if no one comes forward. The Pamlico County sheriff's Office is offering a $500 reward to anyone who can offer information leading to an arrest, and Piner says he is also willing to offer reward money to anyone who can help them solve this mysterious case.

D.C. Area Students Complete STEM Summer Program
After a summer of learning, some 450 D.C. area students wrapped up their participation Aug.15 in a science, technology, engineering and math program for secondary school students.
The students, in grades 5 through 12, spent 12 weeks in the program sponsored by the 100 Black Men of Greater Washington, D.C.
"Youth who didn't want to get it as well as those who wanted to get it, seem to like and embrace science, technology, engineering and math, once exposed to the STEM the 100 Way program, " said Dr. Debra Yourick, director of the Science Education and Strategic Communications activity, Walter Reed Army Institute of Research.
In the program, called "STEM the 100 Way," the students experience hands-on laboratory work in math and the sciences as part of the 100 Black Men of America's national STEM program. It is conducted at the U. S. Army's Educational Outreach Program's Gains in the Education of Math and Science program at Walter Reed.
"We are proud to partner with the Army to provide students with the opportunity to participate in STEM educational programs. It will lay a solid foundation for unlimited opportunities." Michael Melton, president of the D.C. chapter of the 100 Black Men.
He noted that this year they were able to introduce minority and disadvantaged students to a core curriculum in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
At the closing program, held at George Washington University's Lisner Auditorium Melton announced the formation of a STEM the 100 Way Endowment Fund to "…ensure that STEM opportunities will be readily available to minority and disadvantaged students in the Greater Washington D.C. area."
"I am humbled by the simple goodness of the students. The program is an oasis of respect and applied creativity," Dr. Margery Anderson, WRAIR program manager said, noting that the men have "done a great thing for the youth in this geographical area; many of whom may not have else wise had the exposure to get them to appreciate science and technology."

NAMI Multicultural Action Center partners to Close the Health Gap
Closing the Health Gap is an educational campaign designed to help make good health an important issue among racial and ethnic minority populations, who are affected by serious diseases and health conditions at far greater rates than other Americans.
In 2002, HHS and its founding partner, the ABC Radio Networks, launched the campaign with a series of health messages for African American communities. In 2003, the campaign expanded its focus to bring the best health information to more communities, including Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, American Indians, and Alaska Natives.
The partnerships being created among HHS and many national and local organizations aim to inform and educate communities of color about the health gap, empower individuals to adopt healthier lifestyles and obtain access to health care. Closing the Health Gap supports HHS' efforts to eliminate racial and ethnic health disparities and promote the goals of Healthy People 2010, the nation's agenda for improving public health. It also advances the HHS Steps to a HealthierU.S. program and the President's HealthierU.S. Initiative, which aims to provide the public with the health information needed to live healthier lives.

I'm back to posting. Yeah, that annoying little teenage Brit kid that you never liked, and never noticed he'd disappeared from the forums. I've changed a lot over how long I was off here.
I've grown up a lot. I've had family bereavements, and it messed up my head. I'm nearly 15, and I've experienced every bad feeling in the world already. It didn't help that my friends stabbed me in the back, even though I stuck up for 'em, or the string of fake relationships I had. I was at a low point. I guess we're growin' up quicker nowadays.
Anyway, I think it's safe to say I won't be irritating you to high holy hell. I now know enough about people and feelings, so you can actually have a conversation with me without it turning immature. I've grown up, guys. Don't judge me, I just want to get back onto posting in topics.

"You're On Your Own", O'Keefe's Project Veritas Uncovers Truth About Police' Response Time
Anti-gun progressives on the left such as Piers Morgan believe that there is absolutely no need for average citizens to own firearms- ever.

Are Liberals Setting Up 'Obamacare' for Failure?
September 1, 2013
Well! The mask has finally come off! Many of us have long worried that the Affordable Health Act, commonly known as Obamacare, was just a stalking horse for the eventual implementation of a......
Once relevant unions have become little more than political leeches! They will whine and threaten to withhold their extensive political donations if their not subsidized by our taxpayer dollars! From TPM , "These so-called Taft-Hartley plans function for many purposes like regular employer-sponsored insurance, and are treated as such in the tax code: employer contributions to premiums are tax deductible, and employee contributions are pre-tax. Nevertheless, unions are beseeching Democrats to reinterpret or change the law so that these particular beneficiaries also benefit from new tax credits intended to subsidize individuals who will be purchasing their own insurance in the exchanges. A double subsidy."
Notice our resident union shill doesn't care that ACA has turned us into a part time nation. Give us our double dip at the expense of the American taxpayer!!!

WVU Whoopie: how do we pay for it and who says they " are going to love it." You libs never ever think of the unintended consequences until it's too late. Where are we going to get all the doctors to service it? And who says the doctors we have now are going to just jump in line and do what they are told. Once again we have people who know absolutely nothing about something telling us they are going to run something. And if you are thrilled with the IRS being in charge of your medical record, you are beyond naive. Just hope those always in power are on the side YOU like because its been proven that they aren't always fair to the side opposing their views.

I have personally lobbied Congresspersons and Senators about Obamacare, as it is now called. Labors pushback concerns are focused on the Taft Hartley plans that cover 20 million American lives. Our plans are excluded from subsidies yet our health funds must pay the $63 per belly button tax for the next three years. This money is going to the insurance company's to offset their costs concerning preexisting conditions. That is plain wrong. Our Taft Hartley plans spend nearly 95% of every dollar to health care, insurance company's had to have a law to force them to use at least 80% of their money on health care. What a rip off! The push down on hours to avoid health care won't matter if we can get the subsidies. We won't go into the exchanges at all since we cover workers much faster and cheaper than private insurance company's. the goal is single payer. That is what scares conservatives. Once we get single payer, all Americans will be covered and no one will want to give it up.

A young boy isn't sure if he believes in Santa Claus, but when a magical train shows up on Christmas Eve he embarks on a journey of self-discovery to the North Pole. Sure, the graphics are a little too real and sometimes it boarders on creepy but it's still an amazing animated story and Tom Hanks is in it. A lot.

We are migrating our email server into zimbra and retain our existing MX record so that Outlook users do not have to amend their POP3.
When we add external account in the user's Zimbra and put our old email server's IP address as it's POP3, Zimbra seems to import itself into itself and ignore the POP3 IP address but using the email domain instead. Can anyone verify this?
Also, is there a way to cancel Get Mail or do we have to wait until it finish downloading 10000 emails?

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The District of Columbia is making a bid to keep the FBI headquarters in the nation's capital.
The move comes as the General Services Administration evaluates potential new locations for the FBI, which has been located inside the J. Edgar Hoover Building on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington since the mid-1970s. Communities in Maryland and Virginia are also competing for the right to host the headquarters.
D.C. officials say they'd like the chance to redevelop the existing J. Edgar Hoover Building and make it part of "the downtown core."
