- - Gsp Camp want silva, but at 170. (http://www.mmaforum.com/ufc/107012-gsp-camp-want-silva-but-170-a.html)
Gsp Camp want silva, but at 170.
Didn't Ed Soares once said Anderson was walking around at 225lbs and that he could never make 170lbs?
Well with Jones tied up, Bisping and Weidman in the middle of their own thing and Rashad looking to be staying at LHW for the time being, I hope Anderson seriously considers taking the time to make it down to that weight. If GSP wants this fight at 170,fine. His belt should be on the line then in his weight class. If Anderson beats him at his weight class, he takes his belt. Retires as the MW and WW Champ, legacy complete. Call it a day.

Just do 178, that's a fair middle ground.
Zahabi is like GSPs Soares and equally annoying.
Man, Anderson isnt making 170lbs and nor should he.
A fight at a catchweight would be fairer but I think Anderson is always going to have the size advantage.
Even at a 178lbs catchweight, on fight night Anderson will probably be weighing in at 200+ whilst GSP is gonna be probably 190ish.
Mark my words, this fight aint happening at any weight.

I mean this was a sport without weight classes and guys like BJ Penn challenging 3 weight classes above even after weight classes. Even now, it's not like the divisions are homogenous in terms of weight, every division has guys that are relatively "bigger" and cut far more weight than others in the division.
This superfight should be about the two best technicians in MMA duking it out to see whose technique is truly the best. Each guy has the technique that has been shown to be the other's kryptonite, GSP with his relentless wrestling, transitions and GnP, and Silva with his one shot accuracy. 8 lbs here or there won't be the deciding factor, the styles themselves will be.
Silva weighed in at 202 pounds for a 205 pound fight against Stephan Bonnar. If the fight is at a catchweight of 178 pounds I'm pretty sure Silva will be around the same weight as GSP on fight night, or at worst 5 or 6 pounds more.
I'm not that interested in this fight anymore, since it is quite clear GSP doesn't want this fight at all.
To me, I see Anderson as being too big for GSP, but that is just my opinion.
It's all a negotiation and Firaz who's ever the intelligent trainer gave a valid counter rebuttal.
It's essentially the same position Ronda has taken except Cyborg has nowhere to go, but down atm.
Anderson can renegotiate to 178, or move on sadly. He hasn't been at 170 in AGES.
There is a flip side to this. Anderson agrees to 170 and that would ALSO mean one important caveat. GSP's title will be on the line.
Now that is CRAZY!
People over estimate the advantage weight gives.
I'm not saying weight classes are a bad thing.
When it comes down to the top 3 fighters in the world (jones - silva - gsp), the winner of the fight isnt going to be because of a weight advantage (bar gsp-jones obviously). We've seen Bj penn beat up ww's, frankie edgar beat up lw's, silva beat up lhw's, cain beat up lesnar, kosh beat up johnson, vitor beat up johnson (haha sorry johnson), vitor give jones the fight of his life, hendo knock out fedor... There are SO many more.
More than not, the winner of the fight comes down to who was the better man on fight night. OF COURSE exceptions do exist, but more than not skill is going to beat a weight advantage unless its just insane.
A catch weight is proper simply because of how much silva would have to drain himself to make 170, and at 178 all we are really talking about is gsp cutting a few less and anderson cutting a few more. It's completely fair.
I think GSP is really just scared of getting less endorsements and payed less by sponsors. Right now, the speculation of who is #1 is what makes these fighters get so many deals. I can ensure you the winner of this fight would have millions of dollars waiting for them on Sunday from sponsors and people wanting to endorse the "Undisputed best fighter in the world".
What GSP might not realize though is the amount of money he would get payed by the UFC, Sponsors, and Endorsers for this fight would probably equal out, if not be more than, the amount of money he would be making even if he lost.
Before one says "Silva can fight Jones!!!!", Yes, he absolutely can and jones/silva both said they would fight each other if they had to.
Right now, Uncle Dana wants GSP/Silva. When Jones beat Belfort he wanted Jones/Silva. Uncle Dana doesn't know what he wants, all he knows is he wants silva in a super fight and because silva WANTS gsp, hes trying to make it happen seemingly because he won't have to pay silva/gsp as much to fight as he would silva/jones. That and he knows Jones is fairly young and could do a super fight at heavyweight one day AND that jones plans to. There's simply alot more money in making GSP-Silva happen then Jones-Silva because GSP isn't going to test the waters in a different division because he is too scared to lose.
That's what makes Silva so unique. He's fine with fighting fighters from other divisions, he does want to test himself, he's not scared that he might lose. Jones WANTS to also, but he obviously wants to have a real camp to make sure he doesn't lose.
And dang, just thought of condit @ 185. Lots of interesting fights for him there... though he wouldnt have anything for silva, he could easily be top 5 i think.

MUSKEGON, MI – A national pro fishing tournament held in Muskegon last weekend went well enough to fuel hopes of a return visit.
The B.A.S.S. Toyota All-Star Week and the Evan Williams Bourbon Championship in Muskegon County Sept. 27-29 was the first tournament that the B.A.S.S. pro fishing organization has held in West Michigan. The event was held on Muskegon and White lakes with a festival and weigh-in ceremonies at Heritage Landing in downtown Muskegon.
"Our schedule is done for next year, but we would absolutely consider coming back," said Michael Mulone, director of Event and Tourism Partnerships with B.A.S.S. "We had not only a fantastic tournament, but a fantastic festival. … The community really opened their arms to us."
The event enjoyed a good location, decent fishing and healthy numbers of fans, Mulone said.
"From all indications, they were very pleased with the event," said Muskegon County Development Director Bob Lukens. "We hope that the B.A.S.S. organization comes back sometime in the future."
Fourteen anglers competed over three days of fishing in Muskegon and White lakes. In the end, the contest came down to the two anglers that MLive.com readers started the week with: Hank Cherry and Kevin VanDam. Both of the anglers had participated in a MLive.com live chat on Tuesday. Cherry, the 2013 rookie of the year, bested the local favorite, Kalamazoo's VanDam, in the finals Sunday.
Cherry's winning bag of bass caught in White Lake Sunday totaled 17 pounds, 8 ounces.
"It proves that they had great fisheries here," Lukens said.
"We had not only a fantastic tournament, but a fantastic festival," Mulone said. "Everyone was ecstatic with the crowds."
Competitor Brandon Palaniuk said as much from the stage Saturday night.
"These are bigger crowds than we see at a lot of our elite (series) events," he said.
The event drew roughly 15,000 fans, Lukens said: About 2,000 Friday, 7,500 Saturday and 5,500 Sunday.
"I was talking to a guy that drove five hours from Indiana, because this was the closest we had ever been for him," Mulone said.
The event not only brought a sizable number of people to town to spend money in local hotels and restaurants, but will result in Muskegon being showcased on national TV.
Footage from Toyota All-Start Week and the championship will be shown Sunday, Oct. 13, in three hour-long shows on cable TV's ESPN2. The first, one-hour preview section of the show will air at 2 p.m. and again at 4 p.m. EST. The rest of the footage from the competition will air 6-8 p.m.
"Having this Bassmaster – this national event – was a feather in the county's cap," Lukens said.
Local sponsors for the event included Frontier Communications, Alcoa Whitehall Operations, Bud Light, Clifford Buck Construction, bundeZe, city of Whitehall, Muskegon County Convention and Visitors' Bureau, Muskegon Sportfishing Association, National Guard, Ramos & Sons Auto Body, Raymond James, SunDolphin, White Lake Area Chamber of Commerce.

Denise Hoffman of West Jefferson Fitness Center is hosting a stress management seminar at the West Jefferson Fitness Center's Oakwood location in Terrytown titled "Stress Management: Not the Same Old Same Old Series," in which Hoffman gives participants a view on stress from a different perspective.
"When one thinks of stress management they seem to be only thinking at the head-level. Instead, these seminars speak to the person as a whole and not just through body parts."
In the seminars, Hoffman reminds us that not all stress is bad. "Stress can be good and beneficial. Think of babies being born or some of the best literature of our time. That was brought about by good, necessary, and beneficial stress. The negative stress is the toxic stress that affects us physiologically."
The levels of stress the body needs to align are the mental, emotional, spiritual and healthy stress that often become imbalanced through our regular day-to-day activities, she said. Because we have no true means of releasing our inner-stress efficiently and properly, we sometimes hold these different levels of stress in our bodies for long periods of time, which in turn helps cause certain types of illnesses to appear, Hoffman said. It is crucial to release stress by more than just your typical physical exercise, but through a mental exercise as well.
On Sept. 26 at 7 p.m., the Oakwood facility of West Jefferson Fitness Center, located at 175 Hector Avenue in Terrytown near Oakwood Center, Hoffman's Stress Management seminar topic will be "Meeting, Greeting and Embracing Your Body's Energy Centers."
One concept Hoffman wants those who to attend to understand is the power of self-healing.
"We're so used to having others put our hands on us to relieve stress, that we forget how our own touch can heal us," Hoffman said. The "self-hands on" seminars focus on Eustress (meaning good stress) and how the body's own intuitive wisdom teaches us the difference between the two. When one has "a lump in the throat," that could be a sign of energy of speech, meaning there is something we need to be communicating that we are not, she said. This is considered an imbalance that the seminars hope to address.
Another example illustrated is the "gut-feeling" we sometimes get. There may be more to these phrases than what we think of them to mean, as the seminars explain.
These stress management seminars are more modern and part of a new series composed of a more wholistic approach that differs greatly from those of years ago, she said. THe seminars are free to the public, but preregistration is required, and West Jefferson Fitness Center is asking interested participants to strongly consider making a cash or gift card donation to aid the Cancer Center. Hoffman can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or at 504.348.0055.

It seems like a simple question.
"What do you want?" Everybody should be able to answer that, right? We should know what we're looking for out of life, what specifically will lead to happiness. But sometimes you're thrown a cosmic curveball that makes "What do you want?" almost impossible to answer.
My curveball was a sudden divorce after more than a decade of marriage. And I'm content with the change now; I've fully accepted it, and I'm relieved to report that it didn't destroy my optimistic nature. I'm moving on.
But you can't fully move on if you don't know in which direction you'd like to head.
Some tell me the reason I can't answer that question is because it's too soon. When the rug is pulled out from under your life, it probably takes a minute to completely adjust. But I also think there's an element of starting over after a divorce that is not mentioned often enough, and it's this: What used to be safe and familiar is now very scary.
Let's take the word "marriage," for example. It doesn't have the most positive connotation for me at the moment. It's synonymous in my head with "failure." So when I try to decide if I want to ever go down that road again, it's like someone asking: "What do you want out of life? How about back spasms?" Um, no; that doesn't sound pleasant at all.
I'm not saying my attitude toward marriage can't change; it's just that anyone who has gone through a divorce will forever have a complicated relationship with the word. It's caused us some pain.
So what do I want? The fact that I couldn't readily answer this last week was so concerning that I called one of my best friends to ask her. Maybe she could tell me.
She could not. But she did have a bit of very helpful advice: "Maybe it's like artwork: Sometimes you first have to start with what you don't like to figure out what you do."
Wow. How brilliant is that? And she's right; it's better to start weeding out what you don't want instead of mindlessly drifting along and ignoring the question altogether.
So here's what I've partially concluded: I don't want to be alone for the rest of my life. Nor do I want someone to move in tomorrow; I'm enjoying this new independence. I like handling things on my own for now. It feels very grown-up.
There's more on that list of what I don't want, but it doesn't matter at the moment. Because the other night, I finally landed on what I do. More than anything else.
Over the past year, the kids and I have endured a few less-than-blissful moments together. Tensions and stress and self-pity — not to mention preteen hormones — can run rampant at times. But that's all the more reason to keep focused. To have a goal.
The other night, I was about to put them to bed when Emily handed me a script of dialogue she'd copied from one of her Harry Potter books.
"Instead of singing my song," she said, "please read this in a British accent."
Okey doke. I cleared my throat and began: "It's true, then? What they were saying on the P train? Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts."
I was interrupted by joyful shrieks. "You sound like you're Korean!" Emily said, while Jake pointed out that the "P" in "P train" was actually just a letter scribbled out. By the end of my little scene, the three of us were wiping away tears of laughter.
I want to see my kids through this divorce. I want their hearts to remain open and happy. I want them to not only survive, but to thrive from the strength they'll gain from enduring this.
Sure, there are other things I'd like for myself, and I'm figuring those out. But as I watched my kids erupt in unbridled fits of giggles that night, it dawned on me that for now, I have what I want.

MUSKEGON, MI – Live music will ring out aboard the USS LST 393 Friday at a concert benefiting The Johnson Family Center for Cancer Care.
Crushing Cancer: One Community at a Time will run 5-11 p.m. Aug. 30 at the LST, docked at 560 Mart St. in Muskegon.
The night of music will include performances by the Dave Zagar Trio, Julia & The Greensides, Amber Nicole and Nick Wronski. The two bands and two solo artists all hail from the Muskegon and Grand Haven areas.
"It's family friendly and mellow," said event organizer Megan Nelson. "I wanted music that would appeal to both young and old."
The show is plugged in, she said. But the artists were carefully chosen to avoid a hard-rock sound.
In a 2012 interview with MLive, Zagar said the band aims for an intimate feel at concerts with their indie rock/pop tunes. Zagar plays acoustic guitar. His sister, Laura Ogren, joins in on piano and backing vocals and their younger brother, Andy Zagar, provides the back beat on drums. The trio play original songs.
"Ben Folds is a huge influence for us and his musicianship, especially on piano, is incredible," Zagar said.
Julia & the Greensides describes itself as "a modern indy folk acoustic trio" with cello, guitar and ukulele backing up strong harmonies, according to the group's website.
Solo artists Amber Nicole and Nick Wronski both play the guitar and sing.
"They're all really extremely talented and down-to-earth people," Nelson said.
The artists aren't being compensated for their performances, with all funds going to the local cancer clinic.
The $10 admission fee includes a raffle ticket.
The event will also include food vendors, a silent auction, face-painting and kids' activities.
A World War II-era tank-transport ship, the USS LST 393 is made available for public events by the USS LST 393 Veterans Museum.

Encantadoby Sy Montgomery Dianne Taylor-Snow
Welcome to a forest filled with water. In the wet season, the swollen Amazon becomes a looking glass into another world, where pink dolphins swim like something from a dream. In Peru they are called bufeo colorado-the ruddy dolphin. Their color ranges from white to gray to a vivid pink. These astonishing mammals, actually river-dwelling whales, easily navigate their way through the complex, hazardous world of the Amazon rain forest. Encantado invites readers on the adventure of a lifetime as we travel into one of the world's most lush and beautiful jungles in search of these magical creatures. Our guides include scientists and researchers as well as the local people, who have lived with the encantados-the enchanted ones-literally at their doorsteps for centuries. Our main guides are the dolphins themselves. They lead us into myth. They take us back in time to a prehistoric era. They alone can show us the depth of the Amazon's beauty, diversity, and magic-and help us to keep our planet rich and whole.

Weekly Chat 12/30-1/6
that's the one I use. The only things I do differently are that I add more carrots (my girls and I can't get enough of them, so I double that) and instead of beef bouillon cubes I use Knorr Beef Stock because I get coupons for that all the time.
The directions will tell you to cook it for 6-8 hours then add the frozen mixed veggies and cook 2 more hours, but you can add it all at once too.
Alyssa I'm going to have you making bread this year. It's my New Year's resolution. Even if I have to scan every page of the awesome book I have on bread making (seriously it explains every little detail of the process)!

I like that resolution! I love the smell of fresh baked bread and I have a machine but I hate the shape it makes.
Last night we made a document of things we wanted to accomplish and do this year. The top ones were kitchen, Dulles air and space museum, and and actual summer vacation. We already have a summer vacation planned so this is one thing marked off our list. Of course the other little things like lose weight and eat healthier are on there.
Anyone else make a list??
I am ready for bed. Thank goodness back into our loving routine. I hate getting up at 6 am..
Poor Mallory got 5 shots today but least we are done for long time.. Now getting my 11 year old son done.. Which isn't going to be fun when it comes to him.
Ladybugs. I was doing the prices after using coupons. I redo it to show u later on.. I am thinking of doing another with it and get 20 ebc and make me 26 ecbs.. I need pull up here soon.

And I thought the same thing last night- "I always post pictures of my kids" but I can't help it- so I hope you guys don't mind- I love post and seeing pictures of everyone's Los.. And I feel like I know you guys better when I see pictures.
On a baking side note- I signed up for some mags (it was like 12-24 mag subscriptions for 5 magazines for $15.. Needless to say I got the tastefull something or another this week- I recommend it- lots of cute recipes some hard some easy- there was a super cute snow globe cake.
I want to do a fish bowl instead of snow globe- which means I need to do a under the sea theme- hmm

Charleston County Council will vote tonight on who will hold the positions of chairman and vice chairman in 2013. To win, a candidate must have the votes of at least five of the nine council members.
Question: Who is expected to land those positions?
Answer: Its likely that county leadership wont change. Teddie Pryor, a Democrat, likely will remain chairman for the fifth consecutive year. Elliott Summey, a Republican, likely will hold on to the vice chairman post for the fourth consecutive year.
Pryor and Summey represent portions of North Charleston. Pryor works as the tourism coordinator for the city of North Charleston. Summey works as the senior vice president for real estate developer Weber USA and is the son of North Charleston Mayor Keith Summey.
Pryor said four council members have told him they support him holding onto the position, which including his own vote would give him the majority.
Summey said he thinks he, Pryor, Anna Johnson, Henry Darby and Vic Rawl will vote for Pryor for chairman. Summey also said he thinks the same five members will support him holding the vice chairmans seat.
It remains unclear who else is in the running for either the chairman or vice chairman post.
Q:What does the chairman do?
A: The chairman has the authority to set agendas and appoint members to committees. He or she also makes an additional $3,000 per year. All council members are paid an annual salary of $14,352 for their part-time service.
Q: Why does it matter who holds the position?
A: The chairman to some degree can influence the outcome of major decisions facing County Council, because he or she has control of meeting agendas and committee appointments. County Council likely will make important decisions this year on Interstate 526, the Sea Islands Greenway, a tax-increment financing district for Kiawah River Plantation and the future of its solid-waste program.
Q: Are there any interesting politics in this race?
A: Yes. Summey, who ran for his council seat in 2008 as a Democrat, switched parties last year and now is a Republican. But he plans to vote for Pryor, a Democrat.
Summey said he originally considered a run for the chairmans seat but didnt have the support of fellow Republicans, so he offered his support to Pryor. Summey said Pryor has demonstrated great leadership, especially in the way he handled the controversial decision to complete I-526.

Leo and Loin
An oddball collaboration comes to the Blue Dragon
By Steven Robert Allen
Leo Neufeld and Daddy Long Loin make for an unusual duo. Neufeld is perhaps Albuquerque's best-known portrait painter, a soft-spoken neo-realist with an enviable knack for capturing the intellect, personality and emotions of his subjects. As an artist, he strives to do more than merely replicate the outward appearance of the diverse people he paints. You don't look at one of Neufeld's paintings; you look into it.
Book Review
The Devil's in the Details
Review by Lisa Lenard-Cook
Special Topics in Calamity Physics
The quotation-spouting, citation-dependent young narrator of Marisha Pessl's debut novel, Special Topics in Calamity Physics, can be forgiven her tendency toward attribution. With a peripatetic, charismatic, cynical and movie-star-handsome professor father who is given to haughty pronouncements ("It might remind us that no matter the tragedy there's always the world beyond it. 'Whither goest thou, America, in thy shiny car in the night?'") and a beautiful mother who died far young, Blue van Meer is a teen who not only has learned her lessons too well but has taken them to telltale (Poe, E. A.) heart.

Devon Energy's (NYSE: DVN ) master limited partnership spinoff Devon Midstream Partners has filed its S-1 registration form with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The news means Devon is officially part of the MLP pile-on in the energy sector, and investors can begin their research. Today we'll look at which assets the partnership will bring to market, and how it plans to use its IPO proceeds.
The assets
Devon Midstream will own a 20% stake in Devon Midstream Holdings, the entity that owns "substantially all" of Devon Energy's midstream assets, according to the filing. This is slightly different from what we've seen from IPOs in the past, when a newly launched MLP will make its debut controlling physical assets in their entirety. In this case, Devon is opting for a percentage stake in operations. Over time, Devon Midstream will acquire the remaining 80% stake from Devon Energy.
The primary assets of the holding company are gathering and processing systems in the Cana-Woodford and Barnett shales, as well as a stake in a Gulf Coast fractionating facility.
Going forward, Devon Midstream plans to acquire further interests in the holding company, pick up other assets from Devon Energy, and pursue organic growth projects to support Devon Energy as it develops its production portfolio.
On a pro forma basis, Devon Midstream generated adjusted EBITDA of $40.6 million through the first six months of the year. There is currently no information publicly available on the amount designated for its minimum quarterly distribution.
What's the cash for?
When I covered Valero's (NYSE: VLO ) MLP spinoff last week, I received a great comment from Fool Community member "moweenfarmer," who wrote, "One thing I look for in an IPO is what happens with the proceeds." It's an excellent idea, so let's take a closer look at not only Devon Midstream's plan for its new cash, but what our other MLPs-to-be are planning as well.
Planned Offering
Devon Midstream Partners
Valero Energy Partners
Western Refining Logistics
Plains All American GP Holdings
Devon Midstream Partners plans to use its IPO proceeds to reimburse Devon Energy for capital spent on the assets it contributed to the partnership. It will also use funds to pay for transaction expenses and fees. If anything is left over, DVNM will use it for general partnership expenses.
Valero Energy Partners will use its proceeds to pay "revolving credit facility origination and commitment fees", though it expects to retain the majority of its cash for potential future acquisitions.
Western Refining Logistics plans to use its proceeds to finance the IPO, and it will retain $50 million for general partnership purposes, sending the rest of it on to parent Western Refining (NYSE: WNR ) as partial consideration of the assets its contributing, as well as capital expenditures on those assets.
Plains All American GP Holdings is a little bit different from the other MLPs on the list (not the least of which is because it plans to be taxed as a corporation, but that's an article for another time). Remember, this is a holding company; the midstream MLP with assets already exists in Plains All American Pipeline (NYSE: PAA ) . PAGP plans to distribute the proceeds from its planned $1 billion IPO to existing owners. At some point, it may offer PAA loans, or buy assets on its behalf, but for now, proceeds go directly to stakeholders.
This information is usually included in the press release that follows the S-1 filing, but more detailed information is always in the S-1 in the section cleverly titled "Use of Proceeds."
Bottom line
It's a veritable MLP stampede at this point, which means the market is absolutely jam-packed with income-generating options for investors. You can afford to be choosy! Don't let the MLP headline hoopla sway you before you've done your research, lest you get trampled underfoot.
Can't get enough dividends?
Dividend stocks can make you rich. Over the long term, the compounding effect of the quarterly payouts, as well as their growth, adds up faster than most investors imagine. That's why our analysts sat down to identify the absolute best of the best when it comes to rock-solid dividend stocks, drawing up a list in this free report of nine that fit the bill.

King Leonidas slipped into legend at the Battle of Thermopylae, martyred with 300 Spartans for the sake of Western civilization and Spartan glory.
"Go, tell the Spartans, stranger passing by/That here, obedient to their laws, we lie."
So it was too much to hope that someone with Gerard Butler's charismatic, bellowing swagger would be around for the sequel, 300: Rise of an Empire. His Leonidas and his oiled-down eight-pack are sorely missed, as are the quotable quatrains of that famous fight, the Spartan trash talk that sings through the ages. So many Persian arrows will rain on them that they will "blot out the sun"?
"Then we shall fight in the shade."
There's nothing that moving in Rise of an Empire, a more visually stunning but less thrilling epic with bloodier slow-motion sword fights, this time at sea. It lacks the heroic proportions and poetry of 300, mainly thanks to a less impressive cast and murky, forgettable script.
Sullivan Stapleton (Gangster Squad) is Themistocles, the Greek general who took the oracle's prophecy that Greece could only be saved "by a wall of wood" (i.e., ships) to heart and fought the enormous Persian fleet at Artemisium and Salamis. That prophecy, by the way, isn't shown — a clever and quotably theatrical moment discarded as Queen Gorgo (Lena Headey) relates this oral history.
The movie opens at the end of Thermopylae, flashes back to the earlier Battle of Marathon, then flashes forward to the fictive present as Themistocles rallies the city-states and prepares for battle at sea as Leonidas marches to his fate at Thermopylae.
The Persian fleet is led by the she-devil Artemisia, played by one-time Bond babe Eva Green, a seductive sword fighter in jet-black hair, Egyptian eye makeup and ancient Persian fishnet stockings. She purrs about "the ecstasy of steel" and demands of her admirals, "Is it too much to ask for victory?"
It is. The clever Greeks foil her and crush her huge war galleys at every turn. Things get so bad that Artemesia summons Themistocles for a mid-Aegean parlay.
Director Noam Murro did the college- professor romance Smart People, in no way a recommendation for directing a red-blooded digital epic of an ancient sea battle. Zack Snyder, who directed the original film, had a hand in the tin-eared script. It's not graphic novel creator Frank Miller's fault that Thermopylae, the basis for his 300 book, made for more elegiac history than Salamis.
But the design — a sea of grays and whites covered with heaving digital black ships and black sails and Persians clad in black battling Greeks in tiny brown boats — is stunning, an improvement over 2006's 300. And the action never disappoints.
It's a pity this colorless cast doesn't hold a candle to the original's combination of Butler, Headey, Michael Fassbender and David Wenham, and that the writers couldn't conjure up thrilling speeches.
Go tell the Spartans, stranger passing by, that these pretenders spoiled their franchise, and here their movie lies.
Directed by Noam Murro. R (strong sustained sequences of stylized bloody violence throughout, a sex scene, nudity and some language). 102 mins. In wide release.

It's true that all Christians need to study more, but there also are some pretty dumb skeptics and atheists who cherry-pick their responses. Evidence is very critical in any investigation, and eyewitness reports, historical and geographic accuracy and archeological discoveries strongly support the Bible. The point that several cultures reported on a great flood does not constitute plagiarism because of who wrote first, but it does indicate consensus.
Morality and ethics have been the study of greater minds than Miller's or mine, and his statement that his morality comes from a very close circle of acquaintances is rather frightening – as Walter Lippman said: "Where all think alike, no one thinks very much." How does Miller respond to individuals' morals and ethics that conflict with – or just come from different sources than – his? Are they just medieval something-or-others?
Women did have significant roles in the Bible: in the Old (Hebrew) Testament, Deborah was a judge in Israel, and Esther saved her people from annihilation. In the New (Christian) Testament, Lydia of Thyatira was a businesswoman who had a house church. Non-Christian Pliny the Younger, governor of Bithynia, tortured two Christian women who were called deaconesses. The women were slaves, and that indicated their position in life had nothing to do with their status in the church.
Paul told husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church and gave His life for it.

Earlier on we went out and about to chat to a few campers about how they found that storm last night and their thoughts to GuilFest being on for the first time since 2012.
Two people were Maddy Bird and Dan Romeu.
"The storm was awesome. It was not bad," said Maddy.
"When it properly poured down I don't think many people were out. Most people were in bed, there were a few parties going on."
Dan added: "We are very, very happy GuilFest is back. We've always enjoyed it, it's a good experience.
And now the gorgeous @HousewifeTour has taken to the #TheatreTent stage @GuilFest. She's singing about penguins. Yes. pic.twitter.com/gZLIgJcGwj— The Man In The Moon (@MIM1990) July 18, 2014
Meanwhile on the main stage is Radio Riddler which features a trombone, keyboards, drums and two guitars.

A spokesman says eight acrobats fell from a platform at a circus in Rhode Island while one dancer was injured on the floor below.
The accident happened Sunday morning during the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus' Legends show at the Dunkin' Donuts Center in Providence.
There's word as many as 20 people were injured.
Stephen Payne, a spokesman for Feld Entertainment, the parent company of Ringling Bros., confirmed that nine performers were seriously injured, including eight who were in the air.
Providence Public Safety Commissioner Steven Pare says officials and inspectors haven't yet determined what caused the accident.
The show's general manager says the accident occurred during the "hair hang'' act while performers are hanging from their hair.

Q: How do I become a licensed bird breeder, and is there a certain age you have to be to become one?
Sandee Molenda explains:Currently, there are no Federal regulations that require bird breeders to be licensed. However, some states have certain licensing requirements for bird breeders and/or dealers, anyone who sells birds. Georgia, Florida, New Jersey, New York and Colorado come immediately to mind as states that have regulations for bird breeders and/or bird sellers. Check with your state's Department of Agriculture and your state's Department of Fish and Game for regulations in your state.

THE intensive search for two missing fishermen in Glandore Harbour will resume tomorrow (Sunday).
More than 300 people took part in extensive searching today in the hope of finding the bodies of missing Tit Bonhomme skipper Michael Hayes (52) and crewmember Saied Aly Eldin (24).
They are the only two members of the six-man crew of the Tit Bonhomme that sank on January 15th near Adam's Island that remain unaccounted for.
Despite 77 divers assisting 15 Garda and Navy Divers and more than 200 people combing the coast, there was no sign of the missing men today.
Divers have been concentrating on the area between the wreck of the Tit Bonhomme on the west side of Adam Island and Long Point at the mouth of Glandore Harbour where much debris from the wreck has washed up.
The bodies of three crewmembers Kevin Kershaw (21), Attea Shaban (26) and Wael Mohamad (35) have already been recovered from the area.
The sixth member of the crew, 40-year-old father of three Abdou Mohamad survived the tragedy by managing to swim to safety when the ship went down in rough seas two weeks ago.

Newlyweds Prince William and Kate will spend two months apart next year.
The couple will be temporarily separated February through March as helicopter pilot William, 29, is posted to the remote Falkland Islands as part of his Royal Air Force career.
But there is some good news: William will be around to celebrate Kate's 30th birthday on Jan. 9, before embarking on his six-week tour with three other members of the Royal Air Force's search and rescue squadron.
William – or Flight Lieutenant Wales, as he is known in the air force – is working toward becoming a captain in the RAF, so this will be valuable experience, insiders say.
"This deployment forms part of a normal squadron crew rotation and will form part of Flt. Lt. Wales's training and career progression as a Search and Rescue pilot within the RAF," a statement from the Ministry of Defense says.
It is thought that the enforced separation is the longest the two will be apart since they reunited after their breakup in 2007.
William and Kate are expected to make their next public appearance Thursday night at St. James's Palace to support the National Memorial Arboretum appeal.
William & Kate Will Face Forced Separation Next Year

A lawyer for murdered abortionist Dr. George Tiller says the doctor's clinic will be "permanently closed."
All operations at Women's Health Care Services Inc. have been halted since Tiller's death. Rather than keeping the clinic open, his family said the facility will close for good and honor the doctor with charitable activites instead.
"We are proud of the service and courage shown by our husband and father and know that women's health care needs have been met because of his dedication and service," the family said.
No further reasoning was given.
Meanwhile, abortion clinics are asking for more protection in the wake Tiller's murder. The suspect in the case is warning of more violence, but authorities say there is no evidence to back up that claim.
Over the weekend, abortion providers from across the country gathered to mourn the loss of their colleague who was shot last week at his Kansas church.
Tiller was one of only a few doctors in the country who performed late-term abortions, and by some estimates performed over 60,000 of those controversial procedures.
Abortion providers who were present at Tiller's funeral said his death will not be in vain.
"It will make us more firm in our resolve in what we do and why we do what we do," said Toni Hawkins, the executive director of Atlanta Surgicenter.

There is a flurry of apartment complex construction in Boston right now. A fair question to ask is, is there enough demand for the hundreds of new units coming on the market during the next sixteen months to two years.
I think the answer is yes, although it will take several years for the new supply to be absorbed – as the downtown population rises and the economy recovers, each of the projects should do well. (They could help themselves a bit, however, by maybe offering studio apartments for $2,700 … and up.)
Several developers are now taking steps to reduce the increased inventory by either adding condominium units to their projects or switching some of their rental units to for-sale condos.
According to Tom Grillo at the Boston Business Journal, the Simon Properties tower proposed for Copley Place in Back Bay will now have 109 condos and 433 apartments in its 52-story skyscraper. The previous plan called for a 47-story tower that would house four floors of retail and 318 condos above.
In addition, projects at the TD Garden, South Station, and Pier 4 could also go condo, and the residential portion of the multi-use building at Lovejoy Wharf will also be condos. (The South Station project was proposed years ago; it's the least likely of these four to get underway anytime soon.)
Meanwhile, the developer of the Ink Block in the South End has switched one of its eight buildings from apartments to condos under the "Sepia at Ink Block" brand.

Hours before she welcomed her baby boy into the world Wednesday, Anna Duggar was feeling a rather distinct emotion.
"I'm feeling like I'm in labor," Duggar, 22, already a mother to Mackynzie, 20 months, says in 19 Kids: First Grandson, a special airing Sunday (8 p.m. ET) on TLC. "I'm excited, and I'm really looking forward to holding our son in my arms."
In a sneak peek of the TV special, husband Josh Duggar, 23 – the eldest son of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar – comforts his wife as she sits in a birthing pool in labor at their Tontitown, Ark., home. Michelle and daughter Jill, whose lives play out on TLC's 19 Kids and Counting, were also on-hand to assist Anna.
"[Anna] is probably going to move from [the birthing pool] to take a shower, and then when it's time for the baby to be born, she will be moving to her room," Michelle explains in the clip, released just a day after the baby boy, whose name will start with an "M" to follow their family tradition, arrived.
Born at 5:55 p.m., the little Duggar weighed in at 8 lbs., 5 oz.

The Ultimate Rain Gear For ToddlersSelena Mills
For those of you who are blessed with living in California-like climate, then move along. You probably don't need any sort of super-duper rain gear for your toddlers. A cheap pair of generic rain-boots will likely do the job.
For the rest of us who weather many a storm, for quite a few months out of the year – the need for quality surpasses that of choosing less expensive outer-wear. Also? For those of you who live is such said climates, and if your toddler(s) go to daycare, they are probably going to request 2 pairs of splash pants (not that you have to buy 2 pairs of premium ones. I went with a cheap-o pair for the back-up), and ban most rain-boots. Apparently the cheap ones have poor-to-no grip and they are a safety hazard, so. (A little FYI if you are new to the daycare game and want to save yourself from making double purchases. I wish I knew this stuff going in!)
I made the mistake of buying some cute rain-boots and coats on sale at my local Joe Fresh this year a couple of months back. All items were under $15 bucks. After the very first time they put them to the test, for more than 5 minutes…you know what happened. Allowing my kids to actually splash in puddles while we went on a walk meant that they both came home with cold, soaked feet.
We can expect another 4-6 weeks of chilly rain season where I live, so this has been a lesson well learned. The added cost of buying sturdier gear is well-worth it in my books.

41 years of disappointment have ended, as Stanford has won the Rose Bowl for the first time since 1972, defeating a feisty Wisconsin team, 20-14. The Cardinal defense was outstanding again, as it held the Badgers scoreless for the entire second half.
Stanford finishes the year 12-2, and has now won 35 games in the past three season, tying Boise State for the most of any FBS team in that stretch.
We've graded each unit on their performance in one of the biggest wins in the storied history of Stanford football. Let's take a look.

The 10 largest European Kitchen Companies
Many of you have asked me for a 'top 10 list' of European kitchen companies. Being that in my mind 'Top 10′ is not just about company size and/or sales volume (especially in today's economy…) I'm still working on that list for you and sooner or later it will be posted.
In the mean time, with the help of a good friend (thank you, A.S.), I was able to come up with the list of the largest companies in the European kitchen brands for you.
The difficult part about coming up with such a list is how do you measure size, or I should say – by what parameters. I see, some European companies are actually part of a Group – they own several kitchen brands/factories, not necessarily all in the same country (!). Some manufacture kitchens but also sell retail, through a chain of factory owned stored. They may produce less kitchens, then another company, but if you add their retail sales, to their wholesale figures and then add appliances (manufactured by appliance companies, counters and even labor, the comparison is simply not easy.
So with the above in mind, the only way to create the list (without going nuts) is really just by total sales figures (Europeans like to use the term – 'Turnover'). So here is the list:
1. Nobia Group (Sweden) – There are many companies in this group, like Poggenpohl and Pronorm (Germany), HTH (Denmark), Marbodal (Sweden), Sigdal (Norway), EWE (Austria), plus, they also have a retail-network in the group – Magnet (UK).
2. Nobilia (Germany) – one company.
3. Alno Group – Alno, Wellmann, Pino and Impuls (Germany).
4. Cuisine Schmidt (France) – including a retail-network.
5. Häcker (Germany) – one company.
6. Nolte (Germany) – one company.
7. Mobalpa (France) – including a retail-network.
8. Schüller (Germany) – one company.
9. Bauformat Group - Bauformat and Burger (Germany).
10. Snaidero Group - Snaidero (Italy), Rational (Germany and including retail-networks like Ixina and Cuisine-Plus.
Some intresting facts:
- The majority of the companies, in the above list, are from Germany and the Scandinavian countries. In that part of Europe, the groups (or concerns) are very typical and have been around since before Columbus discovered America… (no joke!).
- The only Italian company is in the tenth spot – unlike the northern Europeans, in the southern part of Europe, the opposite is more common – smaller companies, privately owned and operated. Even inside Italy, the more south you go, the smaller and more family owned and operated the companies are. With that said, there are a lot more Italian kitchen companies operating and selling kitchens, then there are German and Scandinavian combined…
- If we only consider single factory sales, without retail sales and/or other companies in the Group, the largest one is Nobilia, from Germany, then Häcker, Nolte and Schüller, from Germany.
- This list is not guaranteed, as many companies do not publish their sales figures but is fairly close to reality. Also, the list can change in one day, if one of the groups decides to sell off a factory or two, or in return, to acquire a couple of brands.

Hi Kitchenguy,
Could you please help us out with the following? We're going to buy a kitchen, already been to a few shops. These are the brands we have to choose from: Kvik, Rotpunkt or Salvani. One of the guys who sells Salvani (the same ad Rotpunkt) tells me Kvik is inferior quality to Salvani. Is this true?
Thanks in advance, Tim
Hi kitchenguy,
I am looking into buying a new kitchen, as I am totally remodelling my house. I live in Denmark, and there are several Danish Kitchen manufacturers, but I heard good things about the German Manufacturers, and wanted to explore that option.
I am looking for a modern minimalist look with lots of built in functionality. I Leicht looks nice, but I think that is out of my budget range. Häcker and Störmer also have some nice designs.
Budget wise, I am looking for something around £10-15K (all inclusive). The kitchen is about 10-15 square meters. Which brands would you recommend I look at?
hi kitchen guy
stuck on what kitchen brand to buy liecht or schuller next 125 although designer is trying to push
schuller c system
thanks neil
Hi, I am building a 5 Bedroom house in Lagos, Nigeria, I require a very good kitchen manufacturer in Germany to make this dream a reality. Can you suggest a very good german kitchen maker for me.
Hi. Interesting thread. I was just about to commit to a Schmidt kitchen but then heard another kitchen designer saying that in France, Schmidt are a budget range and ithe company is having a big marketing drive to get their product into the UK as a higher end kitchen at inflated prices. This doesn't seem right to me, in the showroom the quality of the product seemed pretty good. Any thoughts?
Also, they are a bit out of our price range. We have allowed £25k and told the designer before we started planning but it's coming in at £34k all inclusive of: appliances, fitting and VAT. It's a big kitchen 6m x 6m , handleless gloss doors, floor to ceiling units, stone work tops, huge island, mostly drawers etc, do it isn't going to be cheap. They've offered to give us 2 free Neff ovens as a sweetener (RRP about £900 each) My husband and I are poor negotiators. Should we be able to get a percentage discount and if so how much? 5. 10, 20% ?
Any advice much appreciated.
Hi Kitchenguy,
We have been looking at a number of german kitchens however it can be confusing. We have tried to compare like for like. we are after High Gloss Lacquered door however its the edging and carcusses that confuse me
We have looked at Nobilia, Hacker, Schuller and RWK.
Is there a big difference between the 4 brands, does any stand out well above the others…i am aware that it can be down the owner preferences but any thoughts / opinions would be good.
Many thanks

Which company has the best quality and value between Bauformat, Leicht and Rational. We are building a new home in California and need a good amount of cabinetry. If you feel it is warranted, rate the quality and value separately. Your reply will be appreciated.
Hi Kitchenguy,
Having said that Kitchen cabinet manufacturers in Germany and Scandanavian countries tend to be corporate large companies type while in Italy more of family owned smaller businesses.
In your openion, how would you descripe the pros and cons of the "product" of corporates vs smaller family or so run business. Maybe also which would be more suitable for type of consumer.
Thank you so much for the blog.

hi kitchenguy, we are based in dubai and considering a kitchen with either Haecker Basic or Schuller C series. We have gone through with the basic designs with (G shaped, 12sqm) with Siemens appliances. Handleless designs. Matt finish
We are being quoted $41k at Schuller (basic cabinetry, with appliances, quartz countertops and foster faucets etc) and c.$47k with Haecker basic. From some online pricing calculators (http://www.pricemykitchen.co.uk/quickquote.html etc), we see 30-40% lower quotes. (there is no VAT in Dubai)
Without the detailed designs, does the pricing sound ballpark fair or way off?
Also, we have a Siematic showroom here. How would you rate them vs Haecker, Schuller and how much higher/lower would they be on pricing like to like?

3) what approach would you recommend to find a good kitchen fitter?
4) what is a sensible amount to invest in re-doing a kitchen (as a percentage of the overall cost of the flat)?

Republicans are taking aim at Nancy Pelosi over her accusation that the Central Intelligence Agency lied to Congress about harsh interrogation methods.
House Speaker Pelosi is accusing the CIA and Bush administration of not telling her and Congress about the use of waterboarding. She's standing by previous claims that she did not know the tactic was being used.
Pelosi Says CIA Lied To Congress
"Just to be clear, you are accusing the CIA of lying to you in September of 2002," a reporter asked Pelosi.
"Yes, they mislead the Congress of the United States," Pelosi answered. "I'm telling you that the talked about interrogations that they have done and said we want to use enhanced techniques and we have legal opinions that say that they are ok. 'We are not using waterboarding,' that is the only mention that they were not using it."
GOP Lawmakers: House Speaker Knew About 'Advanced Techniques'
Pelosi wants to investigate the Bush administration's use of waterboarding, but the CIA and Republican lawmakers say she knew it was being used all along.
"It's pretty clear that they were well aware of what these enhanced interrogation techniques were," said House Minority Leader Rep. John Boehner R-Ohio. "They were well aware that they had been used, and it seems to me that they want to have it both ways."
"Boehner says Pelosi has offered several different explanations about her knowledge of the interrogation techniques.
