MMA: Silva wipes out Bonnar with knee to solar plexus in UFC 153 main event
Anderson Silva adds to his legend with each unforgettable performance.
Silva became the first man to finish Stephan Bonnar with strikes, as he dispatched "The Ultimate Fighter" Season 1 finalist with a savage first-round knee strike to the solar plexus and follow-up ground punches in the UFC 153 headliner on Saturday at the HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Bonnar (15-8, 8-7 UFC) met his end 4:40 into round one. Afterward, Silva reaffirmed his desire to remain at 185 pounds, where he has held the UFC championship for six years.
"I'm not going to fight at 205 pounds again. I fight at 185 pounds," he said. "I only fought at [light heavyweight] to save the event and put on a show for everybody."
Bonnar did what he could. He pressed "The Spider" in the clinch with short knees, elbows and punches. Once the two separated, Silva put his own back to the cage and dared Bonnar to engage, his hands dangling below his waist, his head completely exposed. The Hammond, Ind., native hit the mark with a few punches. Many others found only air. Later, Silva tripped "The American Psycho" and, as Bonnar turned his back to return to his feet, the Brazilian unleashed the knee that for all intents and purposes finished the fight. A few standing-to-ground right hands made it official.
Silva has now won 17 consecutive fights, a record 16 of them inside the Octagon.
"I'm not the best," he said. "I just believe that I can do things that people think are impossible."
'Minotauro' triumphant, armbars Herman
Former Pride Fighting Championships and UFc heavyweight titleholder Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira made a triumphant return to the Octagon, as he submitted Dave Herman with a second-round armbar in the co-main event. Herman (21-5, 1-3 UFC) tapped out 4:31 into round two.
"I feel so happy, because this man said jiu-jitsu doesn't work, but jiu-jitsu does work and it's a Brazilian art," Nogueira said. "It was a beautiful position. I'm sure that he does practice jiu-jitsu, because he knows how to defend himself."
Nogueira (34-7-1, 5-3 UFC), who had not fought since suffering a horrific arm injury at UFC 140 in December, pressed Herman in the clinch in the first round. In the second, with the Team Quest export fading, Nogueira struck for a takedown, moved to mount and transitioned to the armbar. Herman defended well for a time, but "Minotauro" would not be denied.
"I just had 16 screws and a big plate in my arm after my last fight," Nogueira said. "I came on a plane with [UFC President] Dana White, who supported me very much. The UFC got me the best doctor, and, 10 months later, I'm here fighting for you guys."
Teixeira bludgeons Maldonado, forces stoppage
Glover Teixeira won his 17th consecutive fight and handed Team Nogueira's Fabio Maldonado a nightmarish beating in the process, forcing a stoppage to their light heavyweight showcase between rounds two and three.
Teixeira (19-2, 2-0 UFC) clipped his fellow Brazilian with a pair of left hooks in the first round, the second of which drove him to the mat. The John Hackleman protégé followed him to the ground and smashed away with nearly 100 combined punches and elbows. Only an attempted arm-triangle choke interrupted the beating. The two men were restarted near the end of the round, and, out of nowhere, Maldonado (18-6, 1-3 UFC) landed a clean left hook that briefly left Teixeira on wobbly legs. It was the last meaningful offense he offered.
Teixeira moved to the ground again in round two and ultimately advanced to full mount, continuing to plunge elbows and punches into Maldonado's barely recognizable face. At the conclusion of the second five minutes, the cageside physician deemed Maldonado had absorbed enough punishment.
Afterward, Teixeira took aim at the man he was originally booked to face.
"I would like to fight Quinton Jackson," he said. "He was talking all this crap, and I never talked bad about him. He is my idol. I loved that guy when he was coming up in Pride, but he said I was talking bad about him. I wasn't talking bad about him; I'm just afraid of no man. Step in the ring with me. I'll fight anyone."
Fitch grinds down prospect Silva
Former welterweight title contender Jon Fitch was in top form, as he mauled fast-rising Brazilian prospect Erick Silva en route to a unanimous decision at 170 pounds. All three cageside judges scored it for Fitch (24-4-1, 14-2-1 UFC): 30-27, 29-28 and 29-28.
Relentless in his pursuit of victory, Fitch wore down Silva in the clinch and on the ground. The Team Nogueira representative cracked Fitch with a right hand in the first round and tried to submit him with a rear-naked choke in the second. The Fort Wayne, Ind., native calmly worked his way out of danger, returned to his feet and resumed his attack.
"I knew I was safe there," Fitch said. "I'm extremely difficult to finish. Before the B.J. Penn fight [at UFC 127], I spent hundreds of hours with top black belts on my back, and I'm very comfortable there. I knew that if he wasn't working to gain top position that he was wasting energy underneath me."
Clearly exhausted, Silva had nothing left in the tank for the third. Fitch grounded him early and then unleashed a hellish assault, spearheaded by punches and elbows. Silva offered nothing from the bottom and retreated to his corner visibly dejected when the horn sounded. It was undoubtedly an eye-opening experience for the promising 28-year-old.
"I would have beaten anybody tonight," Fitch said. "I don't care who it was or what weight class. My family needed this win and I needed this win, so I had to do what I had to do."
Davis Anaconda choke finishes Prado
The world-ranked Phil Davis submitted the previously unbeaten Wagner Prado with a second-round anaconda choke in a featured light heavyweight bout. Prado (8-1, 0-1 UFC) waved the white flag 4:29 into round two.
Davis (10-1, 6-1 UFC) dominated the Brazilian from the start. He struck for multiple takedowns in the first round, passed the Prado guard without much resistance and controlled the match from top position. In the second, he delivered another takedown and locked in an arm-triangle choke. Prado freed himself, but Davis caught him in the anaconda choke on the exit and finished it.
"Normally, I'm the young lion coming in," Davis said. "I'll tell you, it's definitely a different feeling getting in the gym and knowing that somebody like Wagner is coming to [knock] your block off. [The anaconda choke] is one of my high-percentage moves. I didn't even get a chance to fully lock it in, but it worked."
Maia neck crank submits Story
Brazilian grappling savant Demian Maia submitted Brave Legion's Rick Story with a first-round neck crank in a welterweight showcase. Story (14-6, 7-4 UFC), who had never before been finished, asked out of the match 2:30 into round one.
Maia (17-4, 11-4 UFC) secured a takedown inside the first minute, and from there, it was all downhill for his opponent. He moved to mount, punched his way onto Story's back and secured his hooks. Maia, a 2007 Abu Dhabi Combat Club Submission Wrestling World Championships gold medalist, tried first for the rear-naked choke and then transitioned to the neck crank. The pressure forced blood to spew from Story's mouth and nose an instant before he tapped out.
"I wanted very much to fight here and finish my fight," Maia said. "I tried the rear-naked, but, with the gloves, sometimes it's hard."
Other bouts
In preliminary action, "The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil" Season 1 winner Rony Mariano Bezerra put away Sam Sicilia with hammerfists 4:16 into the second round of their featherweight encounter; American Top Team lightweight Gleison Tibau earned a unanimous verdict against Francisco Trinaldo, sweeping the scorecards by matching 29-28 counts; "The Ultimate Fighter" Season 14 winner Diego Brandao cruised to a unanimous decision over Joey Gambino at 145 pounds, securing three 30-27 scorecards; Sergio Moraes submitted Team Nogueira's Renee Forte with a rear-naked choke 3:10 into the third round of their welterweight scrap; "The Ultimate Fighter" Season 11 alum Chris Camozzi took a unanimous verdict from Brazilian middleweight Luiz Cane, earning 29-28 nods from all three judges; and Pride Fighting Championships veteran Cristiano Marcello captured a controversial split decision (29-28, 28-29, 30-27) over Reza Madadi at 155 pounds.

Strings music is appreciated
Published: Tuesday, April 6, 2010 at 10:33 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 6, 2010 at 10:33 a.m.
To The Editor: I would like to acknowledge an outstanding citizen in our community, Margery Kowal, music teacher at Hendersonville Middle School.
Ms. Kowal arranged for her string orchestra of over 40 students to give a concert to the residents of Lake Pointe Landing Retirement Community. What a wonderful program it was! How impressed we all were with the students performance! Many of these students have only learned to play their instruments in the past year, however, you would think that they had played for years. I can only imagine the time and energy Ms. Kowal must have put into the program, and the organizing of student's parents to bring them to a night program during the week.
It was quite obvious that Ms. Kowal excels at her job, and that she goes over and beyond just the "job" of music teacher. She really cares about her students, and they seem to care about her. After this program, I am more than ever in favor of keeping music in the schools! How disappointing to think that this kind of program might be taken away from schools! Music and art is so important in our society! Hats off to Ms. Margery Kowal!
Amy Towery
Recreational Services Director at Lake Pointe Landing Retirement Community

Muncie, IN
Liam Neeson's Bryan Mills has proved to be exactly what he claimed in the first film: "a nightmare to people like you" (i.e. bad guys). Neeson surprised many in 2008 with Taken, about a father who does everything he can to get his daughter back. He returned to the character in Taken 2 last year. The pair of films have earned $602 million combined, so it wasn't much of a surprise when a third was announced in October.
Deadline reports that Neeson is very close to signing a deal with Fox to reprise his role in Taken 3. Although Neeson was "a reluctant participant" in the sequel, he was enticed with a $15 million payday. He's said to be earning for $20 million this time around.
When the third film was announced last year, co-screenwriter Robert Mark Kamen noted that between Miller's daughter, played by Maggie Grace, and his wife, Famke Jensen, the family angle has been exhausted. "We've taken everyone we can take," he said. "It's going to go in another direction."
Kamen started working on the script with producer and co-writer Luc Besson when they saw good numbers for Taken 2. No director has been attached, although word is that Taken 2 helmer Olivier Megaton (Transporter 3, Columbiana) could return.
lets get doug liman or paul greengrass on this thing. then lets hire matt damon instead of liam neeson…you know where im going with this
What if… Liam Neeson, the lead cast got "Taken"? How will he escape and kill everyone who held him captive?
Taken….again. It's beginning to appear that this guy actually has a very shitty set of skills.

Then the icon changes to a small folder icon with a face and a question mark alternating flashing.
I think the face icon is the finder (what ever that is).
if I pull the cat5 out of the bastard it talks to me and boots up.

Do any/majority of the Liverpool fans agree....
RAFA OUT! get a campaign started. his signings, his man-management, his tactics all poor. We have no devine right to win the league, but its in our history to mount a proper decent challenge, show some metal. if rafa signs that 5 year contract, the club, our club will pay a heavy price in the years to come.

Yeah, let's start a Rafa out campaign because that is just what we need the team to be focusing on when we are through to the later stages of the CL and entering the critical run in to the end of the season. And lets boo the players we don't like because that will help as well. Grow up for Christ's sake.
And Ajay, for someone who has been a LFC fan for 39 years, you might have fond memories of our glory period but you have total amnesia about the period from about 1992 up until when Rafa joined. Not only did we not win the EPL, we also hardly featured in Europe, even after the ban, other than the one UEFA win. I accept that we have still not one the EPL but we are now the most consistently successful team in Europe over the past 5 years. Hardly a justification for your comments that you have "never been more upset, embarrassed, disgruntled etc).
Don't get me wrong, I am as p**sed off as everyone else that the wheels have come off over the last few weeks, but just screaming for Rafa's head is not the solution. A bit of perspective goes a long way.

Bob B ...accept it mate there are an awful lot out there who DONT Have Faith in Rafa. I see u point about not getting behind the team, that I find imossible, I have toget behind the lads every game but I dont have to get behind Rafa and his incomprehensible team selections and bizarre substitution decisions and neither do any other fans of The Redmen if they dont choose to. A friend ofmine who has supported the team for over fifty years watched the Madrid game with me and sarcastically cracked :Well Benayoun was defo man of the match so that should ensure he doesnt start next match eh ?: No need for get rid of Rafa campaigns better to just do the deed get him down the road and see if we cant just get this Red machine back on the road again....APPOINT SAMMY LEE...NOW !!!
arnoldlayne arnoldlayne Mar 1, 2009 22:48 Flag
sorry fella, you seem as deluded as rafa. As I said, it is not about winning the title but mounting a serious challenge, showing that you (the manager & the players) have some fight, a real goal. As for your comments about Europe they are also very much in the vain of rafa. Europe is a bonus or at least it used to be. With 4th place getting into the european cup it has become less important to finish 1st. Rafa has proved this from the very beginning. The win against milan is long gone, leave it alone. As for suddenly screaming for rafa's head, I wanted him out last summer. He is not a manager to challenge for the title, let alone win it. As for a campaign disrupting the run-in, rubbish! Rafa has already disrupted the run-in by not just selling keane but not replacing him. Therefore putting all the pressure on Torres to get the goals and stay fit. Look at the big picture or this club will become an average mid-table side.

If we get a new manager in now as Chelsea have. Then he'll have the time to get used to the players. Then we slowly build a team ready for next season.
If we wait until the end of the season to get someone in new then it'll be a rush job, for the new manager to get something sorted. Cos he'll have little time in sorting the mess Rafa made. This season is by all intents and purposes over in terms of winning any titles. You can thank Rafa for that. So Parry should leave now so should Rafa.

1 a.m.: No sloppy seconds
What time is it? 1 a.m. i.e., the fiercely enjoyable brain warp that is improv duo Chris Trew and Tami Nelson
By Wayne Alan Brenner, Fri., July 20, 2007
You want to know what time it is? We'll tell you what time it is: It's 1 a.m., and it's time for improv. The world is a big clockworks, see, and, if we're fortunate, then this world's gears mesh as interestingly as the improvisations of facial-hair impresario Chris Trew and wily wiseacre Tami Nelson. Onstage together, the two are known as 1 a.m.
Some who witness the machinations of 1 a.m. might not consider such meshing as fortunate. This is because those witnesses are, we'd suggest, at least in this instance, dolts. This is because those witnesses want their improv no more outré than the tangents assayed to accommodate a spur-of-the-moment narrative and its conclusion. You're not going to get that from 1 a.m., most likely, and it's not because they can't give it to you. You're going to get scenaria and dialogues that partake of the self-aware, the metafictive, the sort of performative apparatus more intricately constructed by nonimprovisers Pinter and Beckett, and you're going to get that on purpose.
Trew and Nelson, two parts of the ex-Nyawlins improv powerhouse called ColdTowne, work their weird magic in one long continuous scene, without flashbacks, without narrative cutaways. Just two people extending a real-time relationship based on audience suggestion, each working to match whatever bizarre tack the other has gone off on. And, yes, that's what improvising is basically about. But the way 1 a.m. goes at it, it's both transparent and tricky, sometimes offering an illusion of gear lock that turns out to be a working part of their mechanism, and then, wham, you're shaking with laughter.
This is comedy improv, after all, and they don't let you forget that. While you're gamely following the twists of plot and dialogue, you'll likely think two things: 1) that Trew is out of his fucking mind and 2) that Nelson's reactions to such madness are the sharpest and fastest this side of The Matrix's bullet time. Also, Nelson is funny. Not just ingenious in her improv gambits, not just wacky in a weird situation, although she's got that as well, but funny in an arch and knowing way, like Dorothy Parker on a good day.
All of this is what helps inform the excellence of the larger ColdTowne, which we'll talk more about in a later review. As witnessed at the Hideout's Threefer show, it's also what's distilled, in the duo dynamics of 1 a.m., into a fiercely enjoyable brain warp of a time.

Argentina's Jorge Mario Bergoglio was elected Pope Francis I on Wednesday, becoming the first Latin American pontiff in a surprise decision that signalled a desire for a more open Catholic Church.
The 76-year-old moderate emerged smiling on to the balcony of St Peter's Basilica to cries of "Long live the pope!" as tens of thousands of pilgrims cheered, cried and applauded.
The first non-European pope in more than 1,200 years of Church history, Francis called for "brotherhood" among the world's 1.2 billion Catholics and prayed the Hail Mary together with the crowd in St Peter's Square.
He said he felt as if the cardinals that elected him had gone to "the other end of the world" to find him -- and across the Atlantic Ocean in Buenos Aires celebrations erupted.
World leaders hailed the election of a pope who chose to name himself after St Francis, with US President Barack Obama hailing "a champion of the poor and the most vulnerable among us."
Argentinian President Cristina Kirchner wished her fellow countryman "a fruitful pastoral mission."
Justin Welby, the new leader of the world's Anglicans, said in a message to Francis that he was looking forward to "walking and working together to build on the consistent legacy of our predecessors."
Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi said the choice by 115 cardinals in the Sistine Chapel had "widened the perspective of the Church" and he hailed their boldness in "crossing the Ocean."
Sergio Rubin, religious writer for the Buenos Aires newspaper Clarin, said that, like Pope John Paul II, Bergoglio was "conservative at the level of doctrine, and progressive on social issues."
The election was also being seen as a recognition of a thriving faith in Latin America, which has the highest number of Catholics in the world -- in contrast to the decline of Catholicism in its traditional bastion in Europe.
Francis also publicly thanked his 85-year-old predecessor Benedict XVI, who shocked the world last month by becoming the first pope to resign for seven centuries.
The papal Twitter account @pontifex announced the election with a simple phrase in Latin: "Habemus Papam Franciscum" ("We Have Pope Francis").
There had been growing calls both within and outside the Church for a new pope to be chosen from the southern hemisphere for the first time but Bergoglio was never considered one of the frontrunners.
"I can't believe it! An Argentinian pope!" said Silvia Pastormerlo, a 50-year-old from Argentina in St Peter's Square.
-- Happy and proud --
Also in the crowd was Julio Cesar Attaremo, a 42-year-old notary from Santa Fe, in Argentina. "We're very happy and proud, not just for Argentina but for the whole of South America," he said.
"Bergoglio has character. He's very humble and he's someone who really goes out to the people."
The new pope is believed to have been the runner-up at the conclave in 2005 that elected Benedict -- although cardinals taking part are sworn to secrecy on pain of excommunication.
The Vatican said his formal inauguration mass would be on Tuesday -- an important date in the Catholic calendar because it is the Feast of St Joseph, patron saint of the universal Church.
White smoke earlier billowed from the chimney on the Sistine Chapel and the bells of St Peter's Basilica rang out, signalling the election had taken place after five rounds of voting -- one more than when Benedict was elected.
Bergoglio is the first Jesuit to become pope.
The Argentinian railworker's son of Italian descent, the 266th pope in the Catholic Church's 2,000-year history, retired to a chamber known as the "Room of Tears" after the nomination to don his white papal vestments and then prayed in the Pauline Chapel.
Bells pealed in churches across Italy to celebrate the announcement and residents of Rome raced to the floodlit 17th-century Vatican square.
Cardinals had been locked up behind the Vatican walls and cut off from the outside world since Tuesday to make their choice.
Benedict's eight-year papacy was riven by scandals and the new pope will face immediate challenges -- principally stamping his authority on the Vatican machinery and trying to bring back a Catholic flock that is deserting churches across the West.
The scandal of hushed-up sexual abuses of children by paedophile priests going back decades has also cast its shadow over the conclave.
Benedict's style was often seen as too academic and he was never as popular as his predecessor Pope John Paul II. Many of the cardinals have called for the new pope to be a better communicator, able to reach out particularly to young people.
Conclaves are usually only held after a pope dies and are sometimes decades apart -- the last one was in 2005, the one before that 1978.
But Benedict broke with tradition, becoming the first pontiff to step down since the Middle Ages. The German has said he will retire to a former nunnery inside the Vatican -- creating a delicate situation for the Church.
The Vatican said Francis had already called his predecessor and would meet with him soon.
In one of his last acts as pope, Benedict issued a decree allowing cardinals to bring forward the date of a conclave in the event of a pope's resignation -- a move seen by many as potentially setting a precedent for ageing pontiffs in the future.
Vatican experts said the prospect of future resignations could have encouraged the cardinals to elect an older candidate.
An elated Claudio Bonani, 42, in a crowd of worshippers at the cathedral in Buenos Aires -- Bergoglio's birthplace -- said the choice heralded the beginning of a "great papacy".
"He is a simple man, and he has a lot of compassion for the neediest," Bonani said.

Critic Reviews
- Critic score

- By date
Tony Kushner's densely packed script has been directed by Spielberg in an efficient, unpretentious way that suggests Michael Curtiz at Warner Bros. in the 1940s, right down to the rogue's gallery of great character actors in a multitude of bewhiskered supporting roles backing up a first-rate leading performance by Daniel Day-Lewis.
Spielberg manages to give us a Lincoln for our times, inspiringly heroic but demonstrably human.
Lincoln is like a thoroughly researched poli-sci term paper come to life, with interesting personal material about the participants relegated to footnotes.
Whenever Jones is on screen, the film's energy level kicks up several notches, an indication, I think, that Spielberg otherwise overdoses on directorial decorum.
It's a must-see for Daniel Day-Lewis' charismatic, subtly shaded performance as Lincoln - and an even richer one by Tommy Lee Jones.
At two and a half hours, Lincoln contains only a single battle scene in its opening seconds. The rest is pure talk, a keen dramatization of Doris Kearns Goodwin's tome "Team of Rivals," that delivers an overview of Lincoln's crowning achievement in chunks of strategy talk.
Lincoln is built around a magnetic Day-Lewis turn, and the film is a memorable, sometimes stirring look at how even the most righteous bill must struggle, and even cheat, to become a law. It demands a bigger stage than the one it's given here.
Lincoln, written by Tony Kushner, directed by Steven Spielberg, and derived in part from Doris Kearns Goodwin's "Team of Rivals," is a curious beast. The title suggests a monolith, as if going to this movie were tantamount to visiting Mt. Rushmore, and the running time, of two and a half hours, prepares you for an epic. Yet the film is a cramped and ornery affair, with Spielberg going into lockdown mode even more thoroughly than he did in "The Terminal."
The result looks as much like a Natural History Museum diorama as it sounds: a respectful but waxy re-creation that feels somehow awe-inspiring yet chillingly lifeless to behold, the great exception being Jones' alternately blistering and sage turn as Stevens.
His (Spielberg) is an old-fashioned style of moviemaking that can produce soaring entertainment or, alternately, a fussed-over theatricality. Minute to minute, Lincoln moves between these extremes.
For his complex portrayal, Day-Lewis is likely to have roses thrown at his feet, but for the dreadful film in which he's enslaved, emancipated onlookers will reach for the grapes of wrath.
There's something deeply poetic about Lincoln making his way through a changed nation to meet his demise. Such poetry is nowhere to be found in Lincoln.
Lincoln is also a colossal bore. It is so pedantic, slow-moving, sanitized and sentimental that I kept pinching myself to stay awake - which, like the film itself, didn't always work.

I really enjoy history and biography, had read Goodwin's book and had heard almost unanimous praise for the movie. However, I thought the film was tedious, the script very stilted, and the acting rather mundane. If this had been a movie without the hype, the well known cast and director, and the subject, I am sure more of the critics would have panned it.

It is a bit too slow, too monotone, andIf you look at many of the good reviews, you will see the problem, in my mind, with this movie. It is a bit too slow, too monotone, and simply too stuffy. There could have been so much more color and life. I think we should have seen different perspectives, such as from the angle of a simple working person and from the angle of the south. The movie leaves out Lincoln's great speeches, making only brief references. The movie leaves out the assassination, and what we know about who did it and why. The real death blow to the movie, for me, was the lack of vigor in why and what they were fighting for. After all, huge numbers of americans died. So, for me the movie was a dud. I think a lot of people are caught up in the moment. By the way, the supporting acting was GREAT, and I would give an award to Sally Fields.… Full Review »

The widget gives nothing but an error.
Could you please provide more information about the error? What kind of message are you getting?
If you check my test lab: http://testlab.8elite.com/posts/ there's the last version (3.5) working without problems.
Maybe it's another plugin causing incompatibility issues?
Sure, here is the output in the widget:
Warning: krsort() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in /home/litterqf/public_html/wp-content/plugins/network-latest-posts/network-latest-posts.php on line 479
Warning: array_slice() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in /home/litterqf/public_html/wp-content/plugins/network-latest-posts/network-latest-posts.php on line 482
I see, well that's because Network Latest Posts is trying to sort an empty array, I will add a catch for that warning.
Basically it means you're trying to sort an empty output, in short, no posts were found matching your widget parameters. Could you please create a test page with a shortcode using the same parameters your widget is using and check what's the result?
Ah ... ops. I tried to ask for posts from two categories (IDs), but when I removed these, the output came ... Strange, since this is the only two categories with content.
Hi, well if you want to use categories, you must use their slugs for example if your category is "Fast Cars" then you set fast-cars in the Category(ies) field. If there are multiple categories then you separate them by commas, for example: my-category1, my-category2.
I'm adding a catch for those warnings, it will display "Sorry, I couldn't find any recent posts matching your parameters" that way you'll know if there's something wrong. I'll be pushing the new version in a minute.
I was in the template world and wrote category IDs like this: 1,3,4....
So, sorry, I made a mistake. It works like a charm :-)
Great!, yes it happens, early versions of NLPosts were using category IDs but it was really painful for non-geeks to easily spot category IDs so I replaced them by their slugs which are more user-friendly.
Good to know everything works as expected now, cheers.

Livermore, KY -- On April 24, we showed you video and photos of the man who robbed Morgantown Bank and Trust on Morgantown Road. Several tips have been sent in regarding the man, but his identity is still unknown.
MGN Online

The thief is described as a white male, 5 feet 10 inches tall, with a gray, bushy beard. He wore an Australian-style safari hat, white shirt, light colored pants, and blue tennis shoes. He wore a white shirt with the same hat and sling in the robbery on Morgantown Road.
He also drove the same champagne-colored late 90's Chevrolet Silverado pickup.

I'm in W2D2 of c25k and finding it entirely doable so far. I've been a bit sore where I would expect to be sore and out of breath when I'd expect to be out of breath, but I've had no real problems.
I can foresee that I will probably do the week 2 routine a couple of times before moving in to week 3, and from there I am likely to take extra repetitions of the ensuing routines to get myself strong enough to eventually carry my hefty self the whole 5 kilometres at a running pace. And that's fine. I'm not in this for the purpose of being able to run 5 k's in six and a half weeks from now at any cost. I am in it to get stronger and fitter without damaging my body or my spirit.
Challenges for me; running where people can see me makes me cringe. Not having a measured track or a useful watch with which to regulate myself leaves me guessing. Making running time for myself in my chaotic life takes a sort of selfishness that is unfamiliar.
Objectives: I would like to get fit enough to participate in a particular form of martial art (without hurting myself or embarrassing myself too much).
dltang!!! Thank you so much!! You have given me so much inspritation in a short paragarph and it's exactly what I needed. We are a strong group and growing stronger everyday!! I am heading out for W6D2 to 10 min runs getting ready for 25 min run on Friday!!!!
Thank you again, your encouragement means so much!
Well, I finished W6D2 today! Didn't feel as good as I did on Monday doing day one. Some strange aching in my calves, but I trudged through. Not sure if it had something to do with my shoes, how they were tied or something, or just aches and pains from the new activities. Anyway, I am happy that I was able to push myself through. I officially registered for my first 5K in May, so there is no turning back now.
Glad to see everyone else is pushing through. Keep putting one foot in front of the other, eventually we'll reach the finish line.
Doylestown Red, White & Blue 5K 5/29/2010 49:58 (1st race)
Hey, beetledodger! Welcome! I'm almost 43, with a BMI of 49! I'm getting smaller, though. Yes, you can do it!
I wanted to speak mostly to your mention of a martial art. After losing 50 pounds, I started fencing. I wanted to wait until I lost more weight, but the instructor/master said, "None of us are getting any younger!" So, here I am 3-4 months later with a bag full of fencing gear, including a custom jacket (not too many 290lb women fencers out there). I'm am actually so excited about this Western martial art! It's something I've always wanted to do, and as I get smaller, it is becoming easier. I can't wait to be much quicker and lighter on my feet. I'm so glad I didn't wait any longer. I love fencing! If my opponent is paying more attention to how I look rather than my fencing, I will win every time. The only one who needs to get over how you look is yourself. Don't spend another minute thinking about it. Do it!
Good luck with your C25k training. I'm restarting my program on Monday with a horde of local friends. This Friday some of them are doing their first 5k to get a baseline time and see what it's like! It will be my ninth 5k since Halloween! I'm so excited to be a catalyst of encouragement and change for so many local friends!
Hi Ann, thank you for the welcome.
Odd that you are getting into fencing, as it is similar to the type of martial art I have ambition to participate in. Getting kit to fit me is one of the difficulties. A lot of work goes in to hand making it, so the less adjusting I have to do over time, the better. I'm planning to see how much my shape changes with c25k. If I get fit and stay large, I will get cracking on making my gear. If my shape is changing, I might be better off to wait a few months.
Being unfit and inclined to overheat, I live with fear of mortal embarrassment if I should get all kitted up to train and fall over from exhaustion before a blow is struck. And given that the type of activity I find most attractive is sort of like cross-country sword-fighting, I reckon that the fitter I get before jumping in, the better! It does not mean that I am not doing some light practice already as well as the c25k, just that I would prefer to be a bit more prepared when I put my hand up and say "Can I play too?" to the cool kids.
I know that I really just need to get over my embarrassment about the shape I am in. Ironically, it is embarrassing to be so very embarrassed. But it's been a decade I've been trying to learn not to be embarrassed and there is no sign of that happening. So I am not waiting any more, I am working around it. I hope that if I can make a noticable amount of progress, my pride in that achievement will help me to overcome my shyness.
Your experience with fencing sounds awesome and is most encouraging. I have been told in the past that the sight of me -- heavier than you and really rather tall -- running full tilt at someone and screaming like a banshee is rather offputting to the opposition. So I expect I would be equally intimidating in the martial art I aim to participate in.
Today was W8D2 and V..E..R..Y...S...L...O...W. And here is why. The BAD news. I have followed this program and made it to Week 8 injury free. Well, on Tues, which was W8D1 for me I did fine, felt good and everything. A little later that day I noticed my right ankle on the lateral side was a bit sore. I don't remember twisting, turning or taking a misstep so I am not really sure what it going on. It felt better in my work boots, I guess more support there. It was sore yesterday too and I even had a slight limp. Today, it still hurt but not as bad. So, being the stubborn runner that I am, I decided to head out for W8D2, I a getting too close to not just do it now. When I started, I could tell this was going to hurt. I made up my mind to just run through the pain though. At some points, I even convinced myself that it was feeling better. BUT, I was so wrong. I should have never gone out. By the time the 28 minute run was done, I was in so much pain. I had shooting pains going up my calf muscles and the whole bottom of my foot feels like I have a perpetual charlie horse in it. Just walking home for the cool down walk was pure misery. I am now in my chair with ice on my ankle/foot, I have it elevated and have taken an anti-inflamatory med. I will not run for the next two or three days and see how it is going. I just can not get this close to finishing the C25K and not go it. I will not let this defeat me. Until that time though, I will continue to bike and swim and hope that I don't "lose it" for the run, if I have to take off an extended period of time. I know from being sick, that I can bounce back from 5 days off, but even that is more than I want to do, it I don't have to. So keep my ankle in your prayers all. Thanks.
With Christ all things are possible, so live life with no fears and no worries.

Here are the directions I sent to someone else that asked. I hope they are clear enough and easy to understand.
Go to http://www.tickerfactory.com and sign up for a ticker. Put in all the info they ask for and a password. When you are done, remember to bookmark the site they tell you for updating you weight and BMI. Every time you go to that site and put in your password it will ask for the new updated info, it is that easy. Here is the part that didn't work for me though. I have a Mac computer so it may work differently for you. They give you code to enter into your signature line. That code did not work for me. I had to open two separate windows side by side and just drag the ticker into my signature line and that worked. I hope this helped and wasn't confusing.

I'm so sorry to hear about your ankle! It's good that you are taking a few days off of your ankle. Even if you have to swim and bike, you'll keep up your endurance. I know that you will finish the C25K. That's just who you are!
Take care!
Jingle Bell Run 5K, December 13, 2009
Hi All,
I'm plus sized and just completed D3W1 on Wednesday. My husband got me into the C25K program since it was successful for him. Not only am I out of shape, but I've never been a runner in the past. I really like it so far. It seems managable but will allow me to push myself. I'm hoping to run a 5K in late summer.
I think it's great to see all of you at different stages of the program. It really gives me hope for the future.
First of all, congratulations on taking the initiative to make a change in your life!! Just by deciding to make healthy changes to your lifestyle and your diet, and by trying something new with the C25K program, you are doing yourself a HUGE improvement to your life and your mind!!
I'm also over 200 pounds, and it's the heaviest I've ever been, and I've been working extremely hard to get below it, and it's very difficult. I had the same feelings when I'd show up at the gym, that everyone would want to know why the "fat girl" wanted to work out. And I've had a few revelations over the past year of my lifestyle change:
One of the best things that I ever did was to make a commitment to learning about how to change my life. Research online, talk to friends, use resources such as these discussion boards. They are invaluable, priceless sources of information that can really help you to achieve your goals. When I started out, I never envisioned myself running for 20 seconds let alone 20 minutes. But you can do anything you set your mind to.
A couple of suggestions that I have for you to get started:
I hope that I was able to help give you advice, and I'd love to offer more if you'd like. Just remember that you are doing this to improve yourself, and shouldn't worry about what anyone else thinks. You should already be proud of yourself for taking the initiative to start the C25K program, and more importantly, to ask for help.
Best of luck to you, you will do great!!
Be the change you want to see

Hello All,
My name is Sherrie. So I've been struggling with my weight my entire life and this will be my 25th birthday this year and my gift to me is to finally get it under control. i refuse to spend another quarter century fighting this fight. Despite my weight, I love running, I just can't do it for a long time . My cousin hit me up on Facebook last night and told me that she's going to do the Peachtree Road Race this year and I should join her. Its July 4th in Atlanta and I did a lil bit of research and then I told her, I'm game and we're soo going to do this. Afterwards, I returned to the gym and did another 30 minutes of cardio to 'seal the deal'. I realize that I only have 3.5 months to go from couch to 10k but hey...stranger things have happened I'm sure. I have 113 days to eat right and go to the gym at least once a day, sometimes twice. 113 days to be running at least 12 minute miles as I refuse to walk the entire time and I WILL NOT spend all day doing 6 measly miles.
I am going to spend the next 6 weeks conditioning and then I'm going to start the C25k program with a couple of modifications considering that mine is 10k instaed of 5...So hello all! And I'm really excited to be on this journey with everyone else...

Don't know how we missed this, but it comes from DJ Format's new LP, Statement of Intent. Considering raps by Edan are so rare these days, we're happy to have this. Video production by Tim Crawley.
In other Edan news, he is working on a "psych/soul/break mix", a rock EP, and a "rapp" EP.

The Pittsburgh Penguins have re-assigned forward Chuck Kobasew to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League (AHL), it was announced today by executive vice president and general manager Ray Shero.
Kobasew has played in 32 games this season with Pittsburgh, including his 600th career NHL game in last night's 3-1 win at Nashville.
Kobasew, 31, attended training camp with Pittsburgh on a professional tryout contract and signed a one-year contract with the club on October 2, 2013. He suited up for five exhibition games, tying for second on the club with two goals while posting an even rating.
Originally drafted by the Calgary Flames in the first round (14th overall) of the 2001 NHL Draft, Kobasew has played 11 NHL seasons with Calgary, Boston, Minnesota, Colorado and Pittsburgh, totaling 210 points (110G-100A), 30 power-play goals and 20 game-winning tallies in 600 career regular-season games.
The 6-foot, 192-pound forward spent the previous two seasons playing with Colorado, totaling 23 points (12G-11A) in 95 regular-season contests. His plus-6 rating in 2012-13 ranked first among all Avalanche forwards.
Kobasew enjoyed his best NHL seasons with Boston in 2007-08 and '08-09, surpassing the 20-goal mark both years and establishing a career high with 42 points (21G-21A) in '08-09.
A native of Osoyoos, British Columbia, Kobasew has scored 20-plus goals on three occasions, including the '05-06 campaign with Calgay when he established career bests with 10 power-play goals and four game-winning goals.
Kobasew, who was a member of Calgary's 2004 Stanley Cup finalist squad, has played in 44 career postseason contests, notching four goals, four assists, eight points and two game-winning goals.
Kobasew played one season of college hockey at Boston College in 2000-01, where he teamed with fellows Penguins Brooks Orpik and Rob Scuderi to lead the Eagles to a NCAA national championship. Kobasew was named Frozen Four MVP.

I started having issues with my self-hosted WordPress blog, and I believe it dates back to when I transitioned from MySQL4 to 5.
Since then, I've had various issues uploading pictures, both through the website and through the iPhone app. It now appears there is a size restriction when uploading photos through the website. Despite my best attempts, nothing I do seems to fix it. I just get an error message when uploading pictures.
And the iPhone routinely locks up when I attempt to upload a picture, only to find it's available in the Media Library when I check on the actual website.
I've also noticed that automatic updates no longer work, for anything - WordPress itself, plugins, themes, etc. Anytime I try the automatic update, it just sits on the window that reads, "Downloading update from...", but it never moves past that. When I FTP to my site, I can see the files have been downloaded. They just never install.
Any ideas on what the problem could be? Do I have a permissions problem? Did I miss an option when I exported the MySQL4 files then imported them into the MySQL5 database?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Pig & Fiddle: A first look
Another restaurant lands in the midst of 50th and France. Just three weeks ago the new Pig & Fiddle opened in the former Pearson's space. Brought to Minneapolis by Mark van Wie and Paul Schatz, who also run St. Paul's Muddy Pig, the room has been spiffed up and large front windows installed. The space is warm and comfortable, with the fireplace still intact.
We stopped by on a recent evening for a quick bite and a first impression.
Two things the Muddy Pig does very well are keep a well-curated beer list and play great dining music. The same can be said at the Pig & Fiddle. The beer selection is full of craft brews, with a good amount of local beers making an appearance. While they were sadly out of Fulton's Sweet Child O' Vine, they did have Lonely Blonde on tap. (A Surly Cynic made a nice stand-in.)
The music can probably be described as Adult Alternative, with selections from the Ryan Adams repertoire. Warm wood tones and attractive lighting add to the ambiance. The staff is attentive, if still new. When we asked our server what was in the pasty, in addition to the pot roast promised on the menu, he stammered, "Vegetables? Like ... potatoes?" Fair enough.
The menu is filled with Old World European dishes like borscht and pierogi. We ordered the moules frites, a pot roast pasty, and the Jagurwurst roll. In the kitchen is Stephanie Kochen, who was most recently cooking at Heartland--a restaurant that weaves a special kind of meat and preserved veggie magic.
Our first course arrived with a steamy whiff of disappointment. The top layer of mussels were dried out and overcooked. The beer broth they were steamed in was studded with bacon that was an unfortunate specimen of the thin, wussy variety. Served with a small bowl of chunky fries, they were $16.
Thankfully, the sausage sandwich rode in triumphantly. A pleasantly Polish-like flavored meat, split open and grilled, it was served atop a bed of housemade sauerkraut, crowned with a fried egg, all on a crusty, grilled hot dog bun-type roll. The salty meat was doused in rich yolk, spiked with a pleasantly tart sauerkraut, with just a bit of caraway seed on the flaky, bready roll. A manly sized portion for $12 includes a side of fries, salad, or mashed potatoes.
The pasty was rich beef pot roast with small bits of carrots and potatoes wrapped in a crispy, thin pie crust and baked until golden. A small crack had allowed some of the rich juices to spill out during cooking to add another layer of crunchy meat char along the back edge of the crust. Priced at $10, it's served with the same side options.
The mashed potatoes are not hard up for butter--the rib-sticking, skin-on Yukon gold spuds were rendered creamy-rich.
With the expertly chosen beer selection, the weight of the dishes, and the roaring fire, the atmosphere is a refined, man-scaped vibe--decidedly dudely. A great spot for men with discerning tastes to grab a respite from the lady-like shopping areas nearby.

—Tyler Cowen/ September 2009, http://www.marginalrevolution.com
"Should be required reading on Capitol Hill."
—Kevin Hall, McClatchy Newspapers
"Pozen's book offers significantly more than a factual recitation of events leading up to and during the credit crisis. Beyond that, it offers a comprehensive framework for analysis and concrete proposals for appropriate regulatory responses. Broadly, Pozen's aim is not – or not only – to tell the story of the crisis, but rather to analyze how the crisis can illuminate and inform the appropriate relationship between government and financial markets. Pozen describes specific regulatory innovations intended to keep pace with the speed and complexity of financial innovation. He offers, that is, the analysis sorely lacking in more journalistic accounts of the crisis. In that regard, his book is one of the few in the growing literature arising out of the crisis that should inform any serious discussion of new financial regulation."
—Alisa Greenstein, The Hedge Fund Law Report, October 2009
"Pozen seems to be right (or at least in broad agreement with me) the overwhelming majority of the time. And as you can also see, he makes a lot of recommendations, on everything from accounting standards to insurance regulation. Tyler Cowen is quite right to give the book a rave review."
—Felix Salmon, blogs.reuters.com/felix-salmon, November 2009
"This is a book for investors who want to understand the details of our financial landscape, and who also want to consider arguments on restricting mortgage-lending practices, whether financial derivatives and hedge funds should be regulated or the revival of loan securitization, among others." (SmartMoney, November 2009)
"There has not been a more timely and important book written this decade. … In summary, Too Big to Save is comprehensive, rigorous, and descriptive as well as prescriptive. The US economy is too important a global player to be ignored, and Pozen's analysis in 'Too Big Too Save' is too important to not be read. This book is truly a gem and a strongly recommended read."
—Sean Cameron, The Harvard Law School Forum on Corporate Governance and Financial Regulation ( http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/corpgov , November 2009
"The best finance book I've read so far this year (and I've read a slew of them) is Robert C. Pozen's Too Big to Save? How to Fix the U.S. Financial System. … I can't think of anybody who has covered such a range of issues so efficiently or so well." (Brad DeLong, ( http://delong.typepad.com, November 2009
"TOO BIG TO SAVE? asks and answers the questions weighing on every American's mind...a highly readable and well-paced narrative...a valuable guide to a wide audience of readers, from American voters who felt disenfranchised by the events of September 2008 and are looking for an accessible resource to further inform their perspective, to professionals who seek a single source for an engaging account of the crisis and its implications for businesses today and tomorrow."

"University economists are already teaching courses on the history of the financial crisis of 2008 and the policy responses that followed. Robert Pozen's new book could become required reading."
—Ross Kerber, Reuters, December 2009
"To command the weary reviewer's attention, any new book on the aberrations of the financial community has to have a clear focus and make a compelling case. In Too Big To Save? Robert Pozen, chairman of mutual fund group MFS Investment Management and a former vice-chairman of Fidelity Investments, pulls off the trick. … The story of excessive risk-taking and leverage is lucidly told and accessible to the layman, with good explanations of securitisation, toxic structured products and the global dimension of the crisis. The policy recommendations are thoughtful and mostly full of good sense."
— John Plender, Financial Times, February 2010
"The first thing one can see from the book is how much of a genius Robert Pozen is. He has a clear grasp on many complex issues facing the US and world economy. Too Big to Save? is probably the best book about financial reform written so far."
—Jacob Wolinksy, GuruFocus.com, February 2010
"... thorough, intelligent and straightforward ..."
—Jim McTague, Barron's, March 2010
"While there are many books on the financial crisis, too many of them say too much about what went wrong and not enough about how to fix the problem. Bob Pozen's book Too Big to Save? (Wiley, 2009) breaks the mold. It not only analyzes the causes of the crisis with uncommon clarity, but also supplies a compelling road map for reform."
—Stephen J. Hadley, Harvard Business Review, March 2010
"If you're only going to read one book on the financial crisis, this should be the one."
— Matthew Rees, The American, May 2010
From the Inside Flap
Each chapter of this timely book analyzes the impact of the financial crisis on a major part of the U.S. financial system. Pozen first explains the globalization of the financial crisis through the sale of mortgagebacked securities around the world. He suggests how the securitization process should be reformed, including new approaches to credit rating agencies and credit default swaps.
Second, he assesses the impact of the financial crisis on the stock and bond markets. He criticizes the broad government guarantees of bank debt and money market funds, and calls for reinstating the incentives for large debt holders to scrutinize the condition of financial institutions.
Third, he evaluates the federal bailout of financial institutions by buying their stock and toxic assets. He shows how these bailouts constitute "one-way capitalism" whereby taxpayers bear most of the losses but stand to receive little of any potential gains.
Finally, he outlines what can and cannot be achieved realistically through international financial cooperation. For the United States, he proposes a concrete plan to address risks to the entire financial system and strengthen the functional regulation of each segment of the financial services industry.
Too Big to Save? will give you a sound framework to analyze the daily barrage of information about the financial crisis. It offers a blueprint for restoring the financial system without repeating the mistakes of the past.

I know a lot of you Studs and Studettes out there write your own themes and plugins. Do you all throw caution tothe wind and just write them and run them or do you maintain a second install to bang around in?
Also, not being the most technically savvy person here, would it be possible to maintain a local installation of WordPress. Meaning, could I put wordpress on my E: drive? I assume I would have to figure out how to set up a DB on that drive for it to draw from and load it with some test data but that shouldn't be hard...famous last words.
I'm hypothesizing (is that a word) here so don't kill yourselves figuring out the details, just casting my net for opinions.
