Changes are coming
October 21, 2013 - Mike McLain
CLEVELAND -- Fans that have been clamoring for the removal of quarterback Brandon Weeden from the Browns' starting lineup might get their wish.
Coach Rob Chudzinski said Monday that he would meet with front office personnel to decide Weeden's future. It's possible that Weeden will be forced to step aside in favor of Jason Campbell when the Browns play on the road Sunday against the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs.
Weeden had another terrible showing in a 31-13 loss to the Packers, completing 17-of-42 passes for 149 yards, one touchdown and one interception. He looked rattled and played with a lack of confidence. His poor play seems to be filtering to others areas of the roster.
The worst thing that can happen to a quarterback is when teammates lose faith in him. Other players continue to express confidence in Weeden, but they have no choice to say anything else.
It seems evident since Weeden returned to the lineup following a knee injury that ended Brian Hoyer's season that his teammates are confused. There was a clear belief in them that they could win consistently with Hoyer. They won't say it, but there has to be concern about the shrinking chances of winning when Weeden plays.
"I think that our guys are looking at themselves, and we have plenty of places and plenty of opportunity to get better," Chudzinski said. "By no means is it one guy, and it certainly wasn't a perfect game by anybody. I don't sense that. Those guys know and I can guarantee that we're going to put the best guys out there and the guys that give us the best chance to win. That's what we'll always do."
This is Chudzinski's first "gut" decision in his initial season as coach. The call to start Hoyer ahead of Campbell when Weeden sprained his right thumb was easy. Hoyer performed better in training camp. Campbell might not have been signed if the Browns knew that Hoyer would become available.
Chudzinski has no choice other than to go with Campbell. He could stick with Weeden, but for what end result? More losses? Probably a declining belief in him among teammates.
"It's not all Brandon; that's the first thing you have to look at as you look at the tape and see," Chudzinski said. "There's some execution errors and issues with other guys. Brandon needs to play better, but we all need to play better around him. We'll go through that process, talking about that, and come up with the plan that gives us the best chance to win."
There's a lot of coach-speak in that comment. Behind closed doors, far from the glare of the media, Chudzinski and general manager Michael Lombardi are probably echoing the belief of most fans.
Weeden simply isn't a NFL quarterback. The time has arrived to quit thinking that time will cure all his shortcomings. It didn't for Brady Quinn and a host of other quarterbacks that have come through Berea, and we're seeing it's not happening for Weeden.
Hoyer will probably be the starter at the outset of next season. You can bet a fresh-faced rookie off a college campus will be the number two guy.

Tutorial: Box the Bottom Corners of a Bag
Lazies, I've put together a picture tutorial on how to easily and accurately box the bottom of a bag. A box bottom means the bag has a flat bottom, making it easier to hold wide things or rest comfortably when you set it down. This is an easy technique which you can use on lots of designs.
Lazy Girl Designs 'With Love Tote' with a 4″ deep boxed bottom.
Last week I announced our Make2/Give2 event for September which features our With Love Tote bag. You can print the pattern from last week's post. The pattern has been updated to include directions to make a flat bottom bag by 'boxing' the bottom corners.
Click the picture to enlarge. This is a view of the bottom of the bag.
The side seam (left) and bottom seam (right) meet and a seam is stitched across these seams to give the bag dimension.
– Cut a square from each bottom corner.
This is a 2″ square which will result in a 4″ deep boxed bottom.
The size of the cut square will determine the depth of the bag when boxed.
– Separate the layers of the bag at the cut corner.
– Pull the side seam and the bottom seam together, matching the seams, as shown here.
– Stitch closed.
– For extra strength, reinforce by stitching again.
The bottom of the bag takes shape as two corners are boxed.
Things to keep in mind
Cutting the corners will affect the width and height of the bag. The result will be a bag that is narrower across the bottom, and shorter top to bottom.
– Width of the bag across the bottom: 19″ minus 4″ (2″ for each corner), leaves the width at 15″ wide.
– Height of the bag at the side: 16″ minus 2″, leaves a height of 14″.
If you take too big of a cut at the corner, your bag might have odd finished dimensions. The larger the corner cut, the narrower and shallower the finished bag will be.
Some examples of corner cut sizes and finished bag sizes for this project
1″ corner cuts = 17″ wide x 15″ high x 2″ deep (wide, tall and skinny depth)
3″ corner cuts = 13″ wide x 13″ high x 6″ deep (square and deep)
4″ corner cuts = 11″ wide x 12″ high x 8″ deep (taller than wide and too deep)
Check our Craftsy pattern store for more projects!
You can see from the math that small changes in the size of the cuts make a big difference in the finished size of the project. If you are unsure of how big to cut a corner to box the bottom and give your bag depth, start with a smaller cut, sew, then see what you think. You can always cut more off and stitch again.
Remember to box the cover and the lining so everything matches nicely. Refer to the With Love Tote pattern to see where and when in the project to do this.

I've been wondering about leaving the triangle of the corner and folding it so that it actually SHOWS on the outside of the bag.. Wd you know how to pull that off?
Thanks for this, hope it's ok to link to rather than reinventing the how to for a bag post I'm writing
How do I finish off a large oval hole with another material? Want to use a different fabric and it seams to pucker and be weak at the oval edge.. Oval hole is about 6 inches.
Are there any tutorial for any of your bags.. with pictures?
Hi Vanessa, All of the designs are available as patterns with complete step-by-step instructions and photos!
Thank you for this fabulous tutorial. I was going to simply crochet around some fleece for a little blanket, but now I'm quickly putting together some messy navy stripe/my little pony fleece totebags for a pile of girls and I'm so excited to try these box bottoms. If I fail, the girls won't know and if I succeed, wow, so many applications. Your pictures are amazing and I DID IT!!!!!!!!
Thank you for this. For whatever reason when I try to do it the "pinch, sew, and then cut" way my lines are never straight.
I am in search of a pattern or directions for making a box bottom pouch that isn't narrow at the bottom and wide at the top. I believe this happens when you "cut out" the little squares at the bottom as opposed to sewing across the triangle (you know, the other way to make the box bottom). I noticed your picture looks like the sides are straight all the way down, but it's kind of hard to tell. Can you give me a little insight?
Can you explain how the gusset or box bottom above reduces the height/width of the bag, based on a 16″ by 19″ bag…I am just not getting it, can you give more details please…thanks
Can someone please clear this up for me. I am getting conflicting info from different tutorials. When creating the "formula" for a tote, is the seam allowance part of the "square" that is cut out? Some sites say yes and some say no. Can someone please explain this in a simplified way for a beginner. I would like to know before I cut my fabric. Thanks so much.
Just to add what someone had written in regards to including/not including the seam allowances in the size of the cut out squares:
"You would measure your one and a half box from the edge of the corner, including the seam in the box, because when you sew the new edge a half inch in you are adding the half inch seam allowance. So, while you are only cutting one inch into your bag, when you sew a half inch from the New edge it makes your seam one and a half inches, and your corner ends up a perfect three inches."
"you are absolutely right. If you want a 3 inch bottom the stitching line should be 1.5 inches from the original stitching, so I would only cut 1.25 inch square so you have .25 inch for the corner seam."
Thoughts anyone?

On Tap Today: Blizzards are our friends
So the old joke goes that a Wisconsin retiree put a snow shovel in his car and headed south, planning to settle down at the first place someone looked at the snow shovel and asked: "What's that?"

Milwaukee Rep taps power, passion of 'Raisin in the Sun'
Lorraine Hansberry's "A Raisin in the Sun" is not only one of the greatest American plays ever written. It's also a play - read in school, seen on film and frequently performed - we all think we know better than we actually do.
The Milwaukee Repertory Theater drove these truths home Friday night, opening a galvanic production of "Raisin" that will go down as a landmark we'll be talking about for years - and that I assure you is like no "Raisin" you've ever seen. »Read Full Article
Novel 'Mary Coin' based on famous Depression-era photograph
It is hard not to be drawn in by Dorothea Lange's iconic photograph called "Migrant Mother." The photo, a now ubiquitous image of struggling farm workers during the Great Depression, is startling in its honest depiction of poverty, strength and despair.
It was this picture, hanging in a gallery at New York's Museum of Modern Art, that inspired acclaimed writer and filmmaker Marisa Silver to pen her new novel, "Mary Coin." Like many other fascinated viewers before her, Silver imagines the moment that the government photographer (here called Vera Dare) approached the destitute family matriarch (Mary Coin) and asked to capture a moment of her life on film. »Read Full Article

The Philadelphia Orchestra's decision to build a world-class concert hall may be the most significant cultural development in this city in half a century. And its impact, good or bad, on the city's landscape and culture will be with us for decades. This is the first in a continuing series that will, in coming weeks, explore the aesthetic, economic and social ramifications of this ambitious break with the past.
Philadelphians don't build concert halls every day. Indeed, while the city has constructed two grand opera houses - one of which, the Academy of Music, has been the home of the Philadelphia Orchestra since its founding - it has never built a hall specifically for symphonic music.

Hi Henrik,
is the mouse not working at all with standard HID driver?
I'd prefer to postpone merging this patch until bcm5974 hits mainline if
the device works in a limited way with standard HID driver, so that we
don't introduce regression.
If the device doesn't work with HID driver at all though, it is probably
perfectly fine to merge it right away. Please let me know, I have no
knowledge about this particular device.
Thanks a lot,

Ailment: Conjunctivitis
Remedy: Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple Cider Vinegar. Traditional home remedy for heartburn/reflux and many ailments detailed on this site. How to use it. What to buy. Warnings on its use.
Comment posted by Li of Toronto, Ontario, Canada on 18 July 2016 at 0:56 4163
First relief I have had in 13 days. 1 tsp apple cider vinegar i 12 tsp cold water. I used the antibiotic drops for 10 days with no effect.
Comment posted by MJ of Austin, TX, USA on 4 February 2016 at 5:0 3886
I tried a mix of Organic Apple Cider Vinegar (cloudy kind) diluted with water. I made it as strong as I could handle. It did burn when I put drops in my eye, but the relief was immediate once that burning subsided in half a second. I did it every hour, and my pink eye was gone in 12 hours. I still would use it in both eyes the next day, just to be sure it would not come back. Not as often as every hour though, just a few drops total through the day. My eyes felt back to normal and the redness was gone. Worked faster then antibiotic cream I had used in the past! My eyes felt clean and refreshed after each treatment.

One of my eyes was itching and had an infection, so I mixed 2 tablespoons of vinegar with 1 table spoon of water, used cotton wool to clean my bothe eyes and in two days the itching went away. It was painful but worth it. Vinegar is a miracle healer indeed!

Pink eye affected my left eye only. I read about some home remedies online and tried dropping goat milk in the affected eye, several times, before bedtime. I woke the next morning only to find more drainage, redness and soreness. The next afternoon I mixed 7 t. Boiled and cooled water to 1 t. Apple cider vinegar. I soaked cotton balls in the mixture and allowed to seep into eye. Yes, there was a sting but I repeated this every few hours until bedtime. I can already see and feel a difference within hours, the redness is diminished and the pain that feels like bruising is very minimal. With a few more applications tomorrow I should be rid of the pink eye for good. FYI, due to the stinging sensation, I would recommend this remedy for adults only.

We just used 6 tablespoons of cold tap water to 1/2 tablespoon of apple cider Vinger (added more water to reduce the eye irritation) and took a cotton swab dipped it halfway in the solution and swabbed the bottom and top of the eye on the white part only. He looked up and then down to access the full white of the eye. His eye began to water immediately as if the infection was draining out and the redness of the eye is now only present in the corner of his eye. We expect it should be completely clear within 24 hours by the look of the current results.

I had a horrible case of pink eye that had been hanging on for 2 weeks. Both eyes were very red, and it felt like there was sand in them. It was very painful and I was also sensitive to light. My partner mixed 1/2 teaspoon of ACV (with the mother) in 3 tablespoons of pure water. She swabbed my eyelids with wetted cotton wool and yes, it burned really horribly. But it was worth it, the infection was literally gone the next day. I guess we could have used a more dilute solution and it wouldn't have burned as bad, it just may take a little longer. But this is a way to clear the infection FAST. Thank you!

Ask not what you can do for your politician.
Ask what your politician can do for you.
And ask for a better campaign-fundraising-raffle prize than an AR-15.
OK, so that's not quite the way President John F. Kennedy put it in his inaugural speech 53 years and eight days ago.
But hey, we are still "We the People," right?
They who run for office purportedly do so because they want to serve us, right?
And some of those politicians have been serving up chances to win AR-15s.
That bright idea was copied last week by state Sen. Lee Bright, R-Spartanburg, who's challenging U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham in the June 10 primary. Bright's AR-15 winner, to be named on Feb. 15, must be at least 18 and pass a criminal background check.
From Bright's email:
"I know the political talking heads may sneer as they continue blaming guns and law-abiding gun owners for the acts of thugs and madmen. But I am the pro-gun, pro-Constitution candidate in this race for the U.S. Senate - and I can't think of a better way to get that word out than by giving away a brand new AR-15."
No "better way"?
If "AR-15" sounds familiar, maybe that's because a Bushmaster AR-15 was the weapon used by a lone gunman to murder 20 first-graders and six adults on Dec. 14, 2012, at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
So yes, some of us can think of a better way to "get the word out" that Bright is supposedly "the pro-gun, pro-Constitution candidate" in the race to unseat a longtime pro-gun-rights incumbent.
High-powered appeal
Bright's not the first - or last - politician to set his sights on boosting both campaign coffers and votes by aligning himself with an AR-15. Georgia Rep. Paul Broun, who's challenging Sen. Saxby Chambliss in May's GOP primary, is holding an AR-15 contest of his own.
And Rep. Steve Stockman, R-Texas, raffled off a Bushmaster AR-15 last year with the pitch: "Grab this gun before Obama does!"
Stockman also has promoted this bumper sticker: "If babies had guns they wouldn't be aborted."
Over on the left, if you entered some of President Barack Obama's 2012 campaign contests, you might have won an invitation to dinner with him and Vice President Joe Biden, the president's 50th birthday party or a star-studded soiree at George Clooney's house.
Back on the right, if the aim is to attract folks who like weapons, ponder these alternatives to AR-15s: Handguns ... swords ... knives ... maces ... axes ... chainsaws ... nun-chucks ... throwing stars ... police sticks ... stun guns (the last two could signify solidarity with law enforcement).
No, you can't raffle off flamethrowers, grenade launchers and tanks. Even the Second Amendment doesn't give you a right to keep and bear those.
Back to Biden: Though the vice president supports a ban on "assault weapons," he offered this advice to a woman at a town hall meeting last February:
"Kate, if you want to protect yourself, get a double-barreled shotgun. I promise you, as I told my wife, we live in an area that's wooded and somewhat secluded. I said, 'Jill, if there's ever a problem, just walk out on the balcony here, walk out, put [up] that double-barreled shotgun and fire two blasts outside the house.' "
He added: "You don't need an AR-15. Buy a shotgun! Buy a shotgun!"
Just don't buy the notion that a shotgun can't inflict considerable carnage. A lone gunman used a 12-gauge last September to kill 12 people at the Naval Sea Systems Command headquarters in Washington, D.C., before police killed him.
Also don't underrate the damage a belligerently utilized metal chair can inflict.
Squaring the circle
At Sunday night's World Wrestling Entertainment pay-per-view spectacular in New Orleans, Brock "The Beast" Lesnar used a metal chair to devastating effect as he defeated 400-plus-pound Big Show, aka Aiken native Paul Wight.
Then Batista (the live rasslin' star, not the dead Cuban military dictator) won the 30-man, over-the-top-rope "Royal Rumble" Battle Royal to win a title shot at Wrestlemania.
There will be no recount.
Back to politics, which increasingly resembles rasslin':
When asking candidates what they can do for you in the electoral rumble, demand that they pass overdue metal-chair-control legislation.
Then again, metal chairs don't hurt people.
People with metal chairs hurt people.

Lovely property with comfortable beds and gracious hosts. We had a relaxing weekend and would definitely recommend staying here!

My husband and I stayed here for his birthday and it was very relaxing. We stayed in the pond suite and it was gorgeous. The breakfasts were delicious and the grounds were very pretty even though it was the off season. We would love to go back in the summer.

I had a wonderful time! The dogs were endearing, the complimentary cookies and bottled water were perfect, the onsite library filled with so, so many great books to choose from was the most pleasant surprise! This B&B exceeded even my great expectations. The communal breakfast each morning is delicious and hearty and provides just the right amount of socializing while the sprawl of the place with so many places to sit and meditate provides plenty of opportunity for solitude as well. I loved that the Eastern Neck Wildlife Refuge was just 4.5 miles down the road - I went there two days in a row to explore and sit by the water (best spot is the left turnoff the main road through right before the closing "gate." I thoroughly enjoyed curling up by the pool, on the patio,and in my room, reading multiple fiction books. I also enjoyed sitting out by Rock Hall beach which is just a few miles away from this B&B. Joann and Jim were very hospitable. Also, the cleanliness was great and the bathrooms with the European style tub with a detachable shower head was a treat! Great time and just what I needed. I arrive on. Friday afternoon and left Sunday morning after breakfast.

MD eastern shore towns can be quite quaint. I wasn't sure what to expect with the B&B. I was pleasantly surprised when we turned the corner and saw a long driveway leading up to a beautiful estate. The innkeepers were more than friendly and took care of our every need. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

This was our 4th visit with Jim and Joanne and they are now almost a part of our family. They are warm and wonderful hosts and make everyone feel like a valued guest in their home. The main house is delightful and the new cottages add privacy and real feeling that you are in your own home on the Bay. They are extremely connected to the local community and can answer any questions. Breakfast especially the bread pudding is not to be missed both for food and table of new friends you will make.

The Inn at Huntingfield Creek is one of our favorite places to get away for a weekend or one-night stay. It is set in a beautiful location, peaceful, and tastefully put together. Jim and Joanne are so lovely. We really appreciate their willingness to spend time with their guests and get to know them. Joanne even gave me a hug upon leaving! This is definitely a "win" among bed and breakfasts.
4,8 sur août 22, 2014
My husband and I were looking for a quick two day vacation somewhere near our home outside of Washington, DC and stumbled (online) upon the Inn at Huntingfield Creek. We decided to give it a try (even though I am particular about the B&Bs I like) and we were not disappointed. We had a wonderful two-day getaway at this picturesque bed and breakfast set on a beautiful property. We had beautiful views out of the front and back of the house in our cozy upstairs room, enjoyed delicious, home cooked breakfast and lively conversation with the innkeepers - Joanne & Jim, who felt like family - and fellow guests, and loved strolling the grounds. Having a pool on property was a definite plus but not as much as the colorful vegetable and cutting garden, herb garden, patio with plenty of places to relax, cottage garden, sunflower field, a small lake (with adirondack chairs, of course) and direct access to the creek. Every building on property is perfect - I wish we had an event coming up so we could stay on property and utilize their perfect barn (with chandeliers installed!!) Even Joanne & Jim's three dogs added to our experience - following us around looking for adventure with us! We couldn't have been happier with our choice! Joanne & Jim not only filled us in on the town of Rockhall, past and present, but directed us to all of the best places to eat, drink and watch the sunset! The Kitchen at Rockhall was delicious- one of our favorite meals ever! We had a blast listening to live music, eating crabs and watching the sunset at the Waterman and lunch was delicious at Harbor Shack. Everything about our trip was perfect and we hope to come back and visit again soon!

Where to begin?? Let's put it this way we made reservations for a future stay before we left! We have stayed at B & B's from Newport, RI to Savannah, GA and we are very lucky that we have had a real nice stay at each one but this place really topped our list. For us this was the first B & B we stayed at that was more than just a house, this was a beautiful property spreading out over 70 acres with a pond and a dock out to the Chesapeake. You have options to stay in the main house or a cottage. We chose a cottage and liked it so much we booked two additional cottages for a future stay next year. The innkeepers, Joanne and Jim are wonderful, they are pleasant, warm and wonderful cooks!! Breakfast was awesome both mornings we were there and what I really liked is they had breakfast with us which made it really nice. One evening I made my way back to the main house to grab a few brochures and bumped into some other guests and we ended up talking for over two hours in the den and before you knew it another couple joined us. I would not do this place justice if I didn't mention the "welcoming committee" the yellow and choc lab that were waiting for us at the door were great(we have a chocolate at home) these two set the standard for "relaxing" and made for good examples on just laying around and enjoying the property. Oh and there is a Jack Russell Terrier and puppy that is just awesome and so much fun. Can't wait to return!! J & A

We were there for Pirates Weekend! We stayed at the Pond Cottage which overlooked the soy fields, and the pond. A pair of Osprey's have a nest next to the pond and Great Grey Herons were also residents. Lots of different species of butterflies danced on the flowers and soyfields. There is a path between the soy fields you can walk, then go through a short forest walk to the water's edge where there are several places to sit on the dock to enjoy the inlet. And more birds and jumping fish. Joanne & Jim were the perfect hosts. Breakfast at the Inn was divine. You can sit inside or outside on the patio where you can view the property complete with fig tree and hummingbirds. They have a lovely library to sit and chat with complementary wine and beer. The four dogs of the house were all wonderful with great demeanors. Our Cottage was the smallest with no kitchenette but we still had a microwave and complementary coffee in the morning. Some of the other Cottages have a kitchenette, where you can prepare lunch and dinner, but no ovens, which is fine as we ate in town anyway. They have an on-site small pool where you can cool off in hot weather. Other residents who were out at different hours than we were encountered deer on the property. We liked it so much, we made a reservation for next year as we were checking out! See you next August!

Fujitsu announces development of wireless recharging technology
We're all aware of how annoying a tangled mass of electrical wires can be. Fortunately, a research effort from Fujitsu is tackling the problem at its very source. During a conference held in the Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers at Osaka Prefecture University, the Japanese electronics giant announced a major step in developing a wireless recharging technology that can work simultaneously with multiple portable devices.
Researchers have been struggling with wireless electricity for some time now, and have come up with a number of different possible solutions, most of which are only at a prototype stage because of technological hurdles that can't be circumvented. As far as wireless charging goes, the two most popular solutions are electromagnetic induction and magnetic resonance.
Electromagnetic induction works by creating a magnetic flux between a power-transmitting and a power-receiving coil. While this is a promising technology for some applications, and particularly for recharging electric cars, it also seems to lack some flexibility since it only works over short distances, and the power transmitter and power receiver need to be in alignment for the system to work properly.
By contrast, the magnetic resonance method appears much more versatile, as it can transport electricity from a single transmitter to multiple receiving devices over a range of several meters and regardless of the relative position of the two ends.
While better in theory, the development of magnetic resonance has been hindered by practical design issues: a number of factors — parasitic capacitance, external magnetic fields, even the batteries in the device to be charged can influence the magnetic fields and drastically decrease the charging efficiency. Furthermore, the smaller the devices, the more they are subject to external influences, making this technology particularly hard to incorporate into mobile phones.
All these issues can be sorted out by properly designing the charging system, but the process takes time. In fact, the development of wireless charging for portable electronics has so far been hindered mainly by problems associated with design and analysis of the systems themselves.
What the Fujitsu researchers developed is essentially a sophisticated simulator that takes into consideration the coil model and the magnetic resonance conditions. This tool can guide manufacturers' decisions in setting the parameters of the wireless chargers in such a way to maximize the charging efficiency for multiple transmitters and receivers even for devices, such as mobile phones, that used to be problematic because of their small size.
The tool, which reportedly reduces design time by a whopping factor of 150, was used to design a compact power receiver and to manufacture prototype mobile phones with built-in wireless charging. The mobile phones can get charged from anywhere within the transmitter's range, reaching 85 pecent efficiency.
Fujitsu said it will use this technology to develop wireless charging systems for mobile phones and other portable devices, which should hit the shelves in 2012. The company is also looking to apply the technology for power transmission between computer chips and to provide mobile charging systems for electric cars.

I have access to several hundred pounds of wheat that I was going to plant (if it will grow in this area) Just Curious if they will eat it?
Here in Kansas in December, a wheat field is a gold mine. All the other crops have been cut and most of the fields have been turned under. A green wheat field will have deer in it every evening and morning and of course all through the night.
One of the things that always amazes me is the differnece in deer eating wheat from west to east. Here in Ontario where I live deer tend to not eat/prefer wheat. In Manitoba wheat fields are amoung the most popular for deer.
winter wheat, rye, barley get hit hard, as the only source of sweet green stuff, here in SW VA, in September thru November, then again late Feb thru March..... field egdes are great places to shed-hunt in late winter
"Do Deer eat wheat?"
Does a bear s*^t in the woods? :)
While I have never actually seen one do it, I firmly believe the answer is yes.
Having hunted Mule, Whitetail, and Blacktail Deer, I can tell you all three of these species will eat darn near everything.
Sure, they have their preferences, but come frigid temps, drought, or high water, they WILL eat what is available.
Deer will eat just about anything that slows down long enough. That's why, in some places, they are called "rats with hooves."
Deer are primarily browsers (sticks and leaves), but will graze a bit (Whitetail = 12% and Mule Deer = 10% according to the Texas A&M Extension study). This definitely varys based on the time of year and how much browse, forbs, and grass is available.
So yes, deer will graze on wheat especially winter wheat that is young and green in the late fall.
Winter wheat is a great food source about January, February,and March around here. When it gets green and is about 4-5 inches tall, the deer love it. It has an added bonus because it is a great place to find sheds if you like to shed hunt after regular season.
They'll eat it in IL.
"deer will eat that winter wheat; they will eat it on a plain, and in the rain, they will eat it before the rye, and when knee-high, deer will eat that winter wheat, try it, try it, and you will know, it will make those big racks grow"
I always plant either wheat or barley for a cover crop and the deer love it. I don't plant it until September and it is lush and green by October.
That's why, in some places, they are called "rats with hooves."
Lol Longbow,
One of the private pieces I hunt on regularly has a landowner that can't stand deer. They decimate his small apple orchard.
He calls them "corn rats."
Winter wheat in my opinion is one reason Kansas has the quality of deer we have. As mentioned in an earlier post is one plant that continues to grow after the first frost. Come Feb most of the sightings of both deer and turkey will be on winter wheat around here.
We plant winter wheat and winter rye side by side. There are 10 deer in the rye for every 1 in the wheat. (at least by us in Wisconsin)
OK, canyonoddler, I'll change my rhyme :
"deer will eat that winter wheat; they will eat it on a plain, and in the rain, few will eat it beside the rye, or when knee-high, but deer will eat that winter wheat, try it, try it, and you will know, it will make those big racks grow"
They will eat it and if you are asking if it is worth hunting over, YES.
I always plant about 20 acres of oats for the deer on my place and several years decided to plant winter wheat instead. The deer eat the wheat very good until it started getting up about 4-6 inches and then quit eating it. I think it got too tough. On oats, they kept it eaten down and stayed on it until early spring. Even when the wheat headed out, the deer still left it along. allen
Same story as most for Mississippi. Great for hunting over in January. They live in it for most of the month and into Feb when its <1'. As it gets tall, they stay out. One other bonus, if you leave it up in spring, the fawns hide in it. I have seen them on the edges, in the middle, etc.
the young wheat has a lot of malt sugars in it, tastes sweet, after thT THEY SEEM TO PREFER RYE OR OTHER GRAIN-GRASSES
welka You are very correct about fawns bedding in the wheat! I run lots of them out of the wheat fields with the combine every june.

You never know what Nintendo will do.
^Thanks Monsteroids^
Yeah...but the sequel to this game might not be the same story.
Check out my thread, search: Storyline and History of Hyrule Explained
Yer thread skips a couple games, am I wrong?
^Thanks Monsteroids^
Examples please? I am pretty sure I did not.
Ok, I guess you fixed it. But, so you know, Windwaker is supposed to take place 100 years after Twilight Princess.
^Thanks Monsteroids^
Say that on my thread .
All the cut-scenes in Twilight Princess are very cinematic, communicating the story and emotion wonderfully. I'm playing through the game for my third time now and just returned light to the Eldin province. The cut-scene in the sanctuary is amongst my favourites. Barnes is a hilarious character and the cut-scene does his comical nature justice. When Colin says "Andy is going to save us! (replace "Andy", of course, with whomever you named your character); I found this one of the most powerful parts of the game with beautiful music and cinematics. I really started to understand here the scale of the game, in terms of emotion and story-line. I can't wait to keep playing!
Wow your very optimistic! I'll thank you somehow (Wink). Lol.
My favourites scenes would of had to been after every boss, after the last blow they make a huge ending and they just fall down and die very dramatically and I love that! Especially the Dragon, since he fell all the way down and made a crater in the floor.
Ya man! I love the cut-scenes after the boss-battles also! The music is epically beautiful and there is always some dramatic way for the boss to explode or dry up or disintegrate while Link does his signature move (twirling his blade and such). I love, in Twilight Princess, how each Boss is introduced with a title, giving the battle a more intense and... meaningful atmosphere, I guess because you know who you're dealing with. Nintendo did this with Ocarina of Time also and I missed in Wind Waker.Originally Posted by Sparx
All the cut-scenes are awesome man, I can't choose just one! I'll come across more along my play through and post them here, it's fun sharing with everyone.
Just thought I'd bring up the finale of the game, which is, of course, just one big cut-scene! I have the soundtrack for the music that orchestrated over the credits and listen to it every now and then. What a powerful and memorable ending for the game!

Are tea party activists racist? The NAACP's annual conference said Tuesday night that some members are, issuing a resolution that "calls on the tea party and all people of good will to repudiate the racist element and activities within the tea party."
But Tim Scott, who has embraced the movement in his bid to become the first black Republican from the Deep South to serve in Congress since Reconstruction, disagreed.
"I believe that the NAACP is making a grave mistake in stereotyping a diverse group of Americans who care deeply about their country and who contribute their time, energy and resources to make a difference," Scott said Tuesday.
Scott was one of several Republicans who vied for the tea party's blessing during last month's nine-way contest for the 1st Congressional District GOP nomination.
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People adopted the resolution after a private debate during its annual convention in Kansas City, Mo.
"I hope it will empower the tea party to actually look at itself and see that there are those who are noticing things that I think most tea partiers don't want," said Hilary Shelton, director of the NAACP's Washington bureau.
Ahead of the debate, NAACP President Ben Jealous said: "We don't have a problem with the tea party's existence. We have an issue with their acceptance and welcoming of white supremacists into their organizations."
Dot Scott, president of the Charleston branch of the NAACP (no relation to Tim Scott) said that most tea party members seem genuinely concerned about the country and its deficit. "I also thought it opened the door for a lot of folks who are dissatisfied with even the mere thought of having a president of the United States who is black. Some of the behavior that has happened since then is unprecedented," she said.
Mike Murphree, a former Dorchester County councilman who currently chairs the Charleston Tea Party, said his organization isn't racist. One of its 12 board members is black.
"The whole intention of the tea party movement is to tell people we're taxed enough already. We want everyone to participate," he said.
While a few actions -- such as a March incident in Washington in which three congressmen said some tea party activists yelled a racial epithet as they walked to the Capitol -- have made news, Murphree said he has no tolerance for them.
"Find me somebody who did it and I'll put a foot in their behind and run them off," he said. "If you're a conservative and you believe in the Bill of Rights and the Constitution and you want your country to be the best it can be, then come join me."
Dot Scott said she is not surprised that Tim Scott is defending the tea party, but she noted she has never seen another black person in his campaign ads.
"Tim's position is probably so far off where African-Americans think that if we say it's up, Tim would say it's down," she said. "Tim is definitely a gem for the Republican Party because when you can get an African-American male who is so far off where the rest of the African-Americans are, the majority, he becomes an asset."
Ben Jealous, the president of the NAACP, seen here in a 2008 file photo, blasted the tea party during the NAACP's annual convention in Kansas City, saying it's dividing the country and "represents a small and dying demographic."×

DALEVILLE, Alabama -- A Daleville police officer saved a suspect from drowning after he tried to escape a road block and led police on a high-speed chase on Saturday.
The Dothan Eagle is reporting Kirkland Shaugh Devaughn, 32, of Enterprise, tried to evade a driver's license check point at the intersection of Alabama Highway 134 and Dilly Branch Road on Saturday evening.
Devaughn sped away from the checkpoint at speeds reaching 110 miles per hour after officers smelled marijuana.
Daleville police officers chased the suspect for about four or five miles until the right front tire of Devaughn's vehicle blew out, causing the vehicle to hit a bridge, bounce off a guardrail and slide down an embankment.
According to the report, the suspect continued to try to run from police, but he ended up in a pond.
Devaughn couldn't swim, though, and had to be rescued by police.
Two bags of marijuana inside the trunk of the vehicle Devaughn was driving, along with $3,200 cash.
Devaughn is charged with felony first-degree possession of marijuana, felony unlawful possession of a controlled substance for the unlawful possession of prescription medication, misdemeanor attempting to elude police and misdemeanor driving under the influence.

WBB Hosts Akron In Basketball Bonanza Saturday
The Cardinals Nest
- Ball State plays the second of its two repeat Mid-American Conference cross divisional opponents this season, with a rematch against Akron Saturday at Noon in Worthern Arena. The Cardinals suffered an 87-78 loss to the Zips in the first meeting in James A. Rhodes Arena, Jan. 4. Ball State is 2-4 against MAC East Division this season with wins over Kent State (55-31) Jan. 12 and Ohio (79-63) Jan. 18 and losses to Akron (87-78) Jan. 4, Bowling Green (72-61) Jan. 15, Buffalo (73-69) Jan. 26 and Kent State (60-57) Feb. 2.
- The Ball State women's basketball team closes to Mid-American Conference cross divisional action when it travels to Miami University Thursday, Feb. 20 for a 2 p.m. tipoff in Millett Hall. The Cardinals last faced the RedHawks in Muncie, Jan. 10, 2013 which resulted in a 62-59 win for Ball State.
- Akron is riding a seven-game winning streak entering Saturday's contest, improving the Zips overall record to 14-8 and 8-3 in the Mid-American Conference, which puts Akron in third in league action just behind Central Michigan (11-0 MAC) and Bowling Green (10-1 MAC). The Zips three losses came against Central Michigan (109-83) Jan. 9, Bowling Green (81-65) Jan. 15 and Miami (79-76) Jan. 15. So far this season, Akron has knocked off five Mid-American Conference West Division opponents, Ball State (87-78) Jan. 4, Eastern Michigan (101-79) Jan. 26, Toledo (82-62) Jan. 30, Northern Illinois (71-67) Feb. 5 and Western Michigan (79-66) Feb. 8.
- Today's game marks the only Ball State men's and women's basketball double-header of the season. The last time both teams won a conference double-header was in 2010-11 when the Cardinals earned wins over Central Michigan, Jan. 15. The Ball State men's basketball team posted a 64-55 victory over the Chippewas and the Ball State women's basketball team took down CMU, 86-77.
Quick Hitters
• Saturday's game against Akron will mark the 32nd time in program history the two schools have met with the Cardinals leading the all-time series 17-14. The last time Ball State beat Akron was Jan. 24, 2009 in James A. Rhodes Arena by a score of 61-55. The Cardinals have lost their last four meetings against the Zips. Ball State has not defeated Akron in John E. Worthen Arena since the 2007-08 season, when the Cardinals claimed an 80-64 victory Feb. 9, 2008.
• Ball State is 3-7 when they play on Feb. 15. The last time the Cardinals won on this date was a 64-49 victory against Toledo in 2005-06. Ball State has played Akron once on this date, which resulted in a 74-67 victory for the Cardinals in 1996-97.
• The Cardinals were the only team in the Mid-American Conference to own a 12-4 league mark while only having seven active players on their roster in 2012-13.
• From 2009-present, the Cardinals own a 29-16 MAC record when playing at home during conference action. Brady Sallee is 9-4 at home during league play.
- Ball State was selected to finish second in the 2013-14 MAC West Division preseason poll. This is the Cardinals highest ranking in the MAC preseason poll since the 2008-09 season, when Ball State was picked to finish first.
• After scoring 18 points in the Cardinals' win at Northern Illinois (Feb. 9), Nathalie Fontaine has scored in double digits 47 times out of 54 career games. Fontaine has 798 points for her career as a sophomore and needs two to reach 800. The Cardinals have at least eight games remaining this season and Fontaine could become just the second Ball State player in program history to reach 900 points by the end of her sophomore year. Tamara Bowie (1999-2003) was the first to accomplish the feat with 943.
• Brandy Woody is nearing the 1,000 point career mark with 914 points. The senior guard needs 86 points to achieve the accomplishment. Their are currently 21 former Cardinals who have scored 1,000 points or more at Ball State.
• Ball State has two players averaging double figures; Nathalie Fontaine (17.0 ppg) and Brittany Carter (11.6 ppg).
• Shelbie Justice collected her first career double-double at Eastern Michigan (Jan. 9). Justice pulled down a career-high 12 rebounds while adding 15 points in the Cardinals win.
• Junior guard Brittany Carter posted 13 points at Toledo (Jan. 23) which marked the 41st game in her career she has scored in double figures. Carter has surpassed the 700 point mark for her career with 782 points. Carter needs 18 points to reach the 800 milestone.
• Nathalie Fontaine, the 2012-13 MAC Freshman of the Year, averaged 13.2 points per game and 6.6 rebounds in her first season at Ball State. Fontaine was named to the MAC All-Freshmen squad, while also earning All-MAC Second Team honors. As a true freshman, Fontaine ended the season just eight points shy of what Ball State's all-time leading scorer Tamara Bowie had when she was a true freshman. Fontaine ended the season with 423 points while Bowie tallied 431 points her freshman year. Fontaine is now averaging 14.8 points and 6.6 rebounds over her career.
• Freshman guard Jill Morrison made a season-high six three pointers versus Western Kentucky during non-conference action. Morrison went 5-for-6 from behind the arc in Mid-American Conference play at Ohio, Jan. 18.
• Junior Nathalie Fontaine earned her third double-double of the season after scoring 14 points while pulling down 14 rebounds at Kent State (Feb. 2). Fontaine had five double-doubles last year and now has a total of eight for her career.
• The Cardinals have held their opponents leading scorer to below their points and or field goal percentage in half of Ball State's games this season. In 22 game the Cardinals managed to hold 12 leading scorers to below what they would normally shoot from the field, and 11 of those top players to below their scoring average per game.
Fontaine Scores 20 or More: Sophomore forward Nathalie Fontaine scored a career-best 30 points at home against Buffalo (Jan. 26). She managed a 20-point performance at home against Bowling Green (Jan. 5) and then matched the performance the next time out at Ohio (Jan. 18). Recently, Fontaine scored 23 points at home against Central Michigan (Feb. 6). The three 20-point performances, along with her 30 point showing, give her eight for the season and 10 for her career.
Taking Tall Orders: Freshman Renee Bennett, a 6-5 center who is the tallest Cardinal in school history, scored a personal-best 14 points against Tennessee Tech (Nov. 30) at the South Point Shootout in Las Vegas, Nev. and at IPFW Dec. 29. She brought down a season best eight rebounds at Wyoming, Dec. 14.
Winchester Wonder: Jill Morrison has made eight career starts so far this season at Detroit (11/23), against Tennessee Tech (11/30), at home versus Western Kentucky (12/6) at Wyoming (12/14), at home versus No. 7 Louisville (12/17), at Northen Kentucky (12/21), at IPFW (12/29) and at Akron (1/4). She has scored in double figures in eight of her last 16 contests, including a career-high 26-point performance in a win at home over Western Kentucky. Morrison also added 15 points in wins against Detroit Mercy (11/23), Tennessee Tech (11/30), 17 points in a loss to Louisville (12/17), 14 points in a win at IPFW (12/29) and a loss at Akron (1/4). She recently scored 19 points in a victory at Ohio (1/18).
From the Charity Stripe: When the Cardinals make 29 or more free throws in a game it results in a win for Ball State. The Cardinals made 29 at Detroit Mercy (11/23) and Tennessee Tech (11/30) both resulting in victories. Ball State made a season-high 32 free throws at home against Western Kentucky (12/6).
Rebound That Basketball: The Cardinals pulled down a season-best 51 rebounds in a win at Eastern Michigan, Jan. 9. Ball State pulled down 46 versus Tennessee Tech, Nov. 30, also resulting in a victory. The Cardinals have out-rebounded their opponents nine times this season. Ball State has out-rebounded its opponent with double digits on five different occasions, Pittsburgh (44-to-33) Jan. 14, Tennessee Tech (46-to-35) Nov. 30, Northern Kentucky (45-to-35) Dec. 21, Eastern Michigan (51-to-40) Jan. 9 and Western Michigan (34-to-23) Jan. 29.
Brady Ball: Head Ball State women's basketball coach Brady Sallee was a head coach at Eastern Illinois from 2004-12 which is a member of the Ohio Valley Conference, where he posted a 91-55 (.623) overall league record. In his first two seasons at Ball State, he currently owns a 17-10 career Mid-American Conference mark.
D-D-D DEFENSE: Ball State defeated Kent State 55-31 in Worthen Arena, Feb. 12. The Cardinals had not held an opponent to 31 points since the 1974-75 season, when Ball State defeated Notre Dame, 78-31, Feb. 8 in South Bend, Ind. That same season, the Cardinals defeated Goshen, 66-30, Feb. 21.
NOTHING BUT NET: Ball State had its best shooting performance of the season at Ohio (Jan. 18). The Cardinals shot 58.7 percent from the field which included a 72.2 percent showing from behind the arc.
DID YOU KNOW: Ball State is the only Mid-American Conference school to have beaten reigning 2013 MAC Champion Central Michigan last season not once but twice. The Cardinals defeated the Chippewas at home 68-61 Feb. 7 and then again in Mt. Pleasant 67-63, Feb. 28.
BEHIND THE ARC: Ball State's 13 threes against Ohio (Jan. 18) were the most in a game since the Cardinals hit 14 against Buffalo, Feb. 10, 2010.
WHERE DO THE CARDINALS RANK IN THE MAC: Entering this week, Nathalie Fontaine is currently second in field goal percentage (.538) while teammate Jill Morrison ranks third in three-point field goal percentage (.449). In all games played this season Morrison tops the list in free throw percentage (.885) after making 46 free throws off of 52 attempts from the charity stripe.

Jeff Monson weighs-in for UFC 65: Bad Intentions. Photo property of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
Florida-based Combat Fighting Championships will be making it's overseas debut on May 17th as the organization will hold a show at the Metro Radio Arena in Newcastle, England filled with veterans that have competed in the Ultimate Fighting Championship and PRIDE.
Former UFC heavyweight champion Ricco Rodriguez will tangle with American Top Team's Jeff Monson in the main event.
Rodriguez is coming off of a tough split decision loss to Antonio Silva at EliteXC Street Certified last month. Monson last won a decision over Hakim Goram in December and is tenatively scheduled to take on Kevin Randleman at a Global Fighting Championships show in June.
The co-main event will feature a clash between former UFC middleweights David Loiseau and Terry Martin. While Loiseau has struggled ever since he was released by the promotion, Martin's apparent departure from the company comes after he suffered his second straight loss at the hands of Marvin Eastman last month.
Melvin Guillard, who is currently on a hiatus from the UFC, being permitted to fight in smaller shows before returning to the promotion, is advertised as going up against Cage Rage veteran Jean Silva.
Travis Wiuff is also slated to take on Cyrille Diabate in a bout that was originally scheduled to take place in at IFO: Fireworks in the Cage IV on December 28th. Diabate was forced to pull out of his bout against Wiuff after suffering a broken ankle during training.
Brad Imes, Dan Hardy, Xavier Foupa-Pokam, Melvin Manhoef, and Mark Weir are all also expected to be in action.
You can also view the current fight card at the organization's official website.
Touch of gloves to reader "Goose" for the assist.

Hardcore Championship Fighting has announced that David Loiseau will take on a recently defeated Todd Gouwenberg in the main event of their upcoming "Crow's Nest" show on March 29th.
The event, which is scheduled to take place at the Robert Guertin Arena in Gatineau, Quebec, was originally slated to have Loiseau take on Evanglista "Cyborg" Santos for the promotion's middleweight title provided that Loiseau was victorious over Jason Day at HCF's last event.
Then came a change of plans - Loiseau ended up losing a controversial split decision to Day.
After HCF officials decided to pair up Loiseau and Santos after all, the Chute Boxe product decided to sign with the newly former World Victory Road, which has him scheduled to go up against Makoto Takimoto at the promotion's inaugural show next week.
Santos' decision led to the terminiation of his contract with HCF.
"Mr. Santos chose to execute a competing contract inside the minimum time period allowed by HCF's terms for fighters to engage in other events", said HCF CEO Keith Crawford.
"We are sad to see him go, however we cannot allow fighters to dictate the terms of their contracts to us as this can impact the integrity of our events," added HCF president Dave Houshiar.
Gouwenberg, who was stopped with strikes by Antonio Rogerio Nogueira at the promotion's "Destiny" event earlier this month, will drop down to the middleweight division for the first time in his career.
David Loiseau weighs-in for UFC 63: Hughes vs Penn. Photo property of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
Jason Day may be potentially replacing Evangelista "Cyborg" Santos as David Loiseau's opponent at Hardcore Championship Fighting's "Crow's Nest" event on March 29th.
The event, which is scheduled to take place at the Robert Guertin Arena in Gatineau, Quebec, was originally slated to have Loiseau take on Santos for the promotion's middleweight title provided that Loiseau was victorious over Day this past Saturday night.
However Loiseau ended up losing a controversial split decision to Day in a fight that Day believes Loiseau should have won on the judges' scorecards, at least from what Loiseau tells The Fight Network in their latest 'Great Fight North' column.
"Jason looked me in the eye after the fight and told me that I got robbed," Loiseau said. "I fought him in Calgary. Things will be a lot different if he comes to my neck of the woods."
A possible trip to Quebec for Day might just become a reality. The former UFC middleweight title contender has stated that HCF CEO Keith Crawford is looking to replace Santos in favor of a rematch between Loiseau and Day at the promotion's next event in March.
"We're looking for a rematch," Loiseau said. "They're looking at replacing Santos with Day, but it's not for sure. That's the fight the fans want to see. It has to happen. I can't wait to do it again."

Hardcore Championship Fighting has announced that it has added a middleweight bout between David "The Crow" Loiseau and Jason Day to it's "Destiny" event, which will take place on February 1st at the Stampede Corral in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
The addition comes less than a week after the cancellation of World Cagefighting Organization's "The Return" where Loiseau was slated to take on Brazilian Leopoldo Serao.
The event, which was scheduled to take place last Saturday at the San Diego Sports Arena, was shut down by the California State Athletic Commission due to insufficent funds gathered by the promoters of the event. The commission ordered that all fighters be paid 20% of their purse.
Since being released from the UFC following a unanimous decision loss to Mike Swick, Loiseau has a split a pair of fights. Loiseau lost a decision to Joey Villasenor at EliteXC's inaugural event last year but was able to bounce back with a submission win over Freddie Espiricueta at an Art of War show in May.
Loiseau is also scheduled to headline HCF's next event in March.
Day has been victorious in eight of his last nine fights, his lone loss was a knockout at the hands of Patrick Cote in June. Day's last fight was a win over veteran Ron Faircloth at Ultimate Cage Wars 10 in November.
Above is the latest from The Garv who discusses the newly signed Kimbo Slice-Tank Abbott fight and how dangerous Miami is. I'm guessing that Will Smith is full of crap.
UFC Announces Nakamura-Emerson
The UFC has announced that a lightweight bout between Keita Nakamura and former Ultimate Fighter cast member Rob Emerson for UFC 81: Breaking Point next month.
Nakamura has not fought since losing a unanimous decision to Drew Fickett at UFC Fight Night 9 in April of last year. Nakamura also dropped a decision in his UFC debut against Brock Larson at UFC Fight Night 7.
Fresh off of his second stint in jail, Emerson will be making his first appearance inside the Octagon since his infamous fight against Gray Maynard at The Ultimate Fighter 5 Finale where he tapped out due to a rib injury and Maynard knocked himself out slamming Emerson to the ground.
Kongo-Herring Imminent?
While bout agreements have not yet been signed, both Cheick Kongo and Heath Herring are expected to face off in a heavyweight bout at UFC 82 in March according to a report from MMA Mania.
Juanito Ibarra, one of Kongo's trainers, has stated that his client is already training in preparation for the bout:
"Kongo's here at my house already getting ready for the fight," said Ibarra. "This is going to be his year. Kongo's got all the talent to be a heavyweight champion real soon, I truly believe that. Heath's a tough opponent and this is going to be a big test."
UFC Releases Radev and Hightower
No, there hasn't been an official announcement by Dana White and company. Instead the news comes inadvertently from Ken Pavia's journal about his dieting adventure with Luke Cummo via MMA Junkie:
The day needed a pick-me-up so I called UFC matchmaker Joe Silva to check the progress of my guys' fights. He said he was still working on it but then informed me they would be releasing two of them, Jordan Radev and Richie Hightower.
Apparently Radev has already been booked to fight Hector Lombard at Cage Fighting Championship's third event on February 15th in Sydney, Australia.

- MMA Junkie is reporting via Tagg Radio that former UFC Heavyweight Champion Frank Mir will be taking on former PRIDE Heavyweight Title holder Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira in his next fight. No official date for the fight was said.
MMA Junkie also spoke to Frank Mir's manager, Dean Albrecht, who stated that a Mir-Nogueira bout is not official and that he and his client would like to face Kongo before Nogueira at this point:
"No official announcement," he wrote to us. "We are hoping for Kongo first. He called out Mir. I think he deserves it."
- Sam Caplan went public with some EliteXC news yesterday. Apparently Gary Shaw and company have no interest in signing Renato "Babalu" Sobral at this time and David Loiseau may be making a return early next year:
FiveOuncesOfPain.com has learned through EliteXC Live Events President Gary Shaw that the fight promotion has no immediate interest in former UFC fighter Renato "Babalu" Sobral. Shaw said in no way does he condone what Sobral did at UFC 74 and labeled the act as "egregious." However, he would not rule out the possibility of having interest in Sobral's services in the future.
I've also had several people ask me in recent weeks about the status of David Loiseau. Loiseau, if you recall, fought on EliteXC's debut card in February and has not been used by the promotion since. There was some speculation that he had been released but Shaw confirmed to FiveOuncesOfPain.com that the promotion does in fact have plans for Loiseau and there's a chance he could be appearing in December in England on a Cage Rage card.
- The Nevada State Athletic Commission has announced that a meeting scheduled for next month will review amending these possible regulations and more:
• Weight loss for a competitor 147 pounds or less changed from two pounds to no more than one at the time of weigh-in
• Weight loss for a competitor over 147 pounds changed from three to no more than two pounds at the time of weigh-in
• Weight loss completion from two hours to one hour after the initial weigh-in
• If a referee halts a bout under the basis that both athletes are in a condition that might subject them to harm, the decision will become a technical draw (currently ruled a no contest)
• The addition of all drugs identified on the World Anti-Doping Agency's Prohibited List to the NSAC's prohibited substance list

Ring Xtreme Challenge, a show co-promoted by Steve Claveau and David Loiseau, is starting to shape up for its debut event which is scheduled for September 7 in Quebec City.
Both Claveau and Loiseau are veterans of TKO who have had a rocky past with TKO promoter Stephane Patry. This new organization will allow them to split the matchmaking duties and use fighters from their respective teams. Claveau stated in the past that Team Legion would no longer be sending fighters to appear on future TKO cards.
It's been speculated for a number of weeks that Claveau was interested in starting his own promotion, especially after he stated that Team Legion will no longer send representatives to compete at future TKO shows.
While Loiseau's involvement with the promotion comes as news, it also opens up the possibility he could fight again in Quebec at some point. After his acrimonious split from TKO president Stephane Patry, it seemed very unlikely "The Crow" would get another opportunity to fight in front of his hometown fans.

After nearly not fighting at all, Mike Swick and Jonathan Goulet are now signed to fight each other at UFC Fight Night 11 in September.
We reported yesterday that Chris Leben had backed out of his scheduled bout against Swick at the event and that Swick had caught wind of Goulet's comments towards him, stating that he didn't accept the fight involving the two and was scared.
Swick denied the claims and stated that he was never offered a fight against Goulet. Goulet is saying otherwise:
"Ken Pavia, my new manager, called me yesterday and asked me to fight Mike Swick in place of Chris Leben," Goulet said. "He called me back two hours later and said Mike Swick didn't accept [the fight], but I don't think it was Swick [who declined]; I think it was his management."
Goulet also states that after hearing that Swick apparently turned down the fight, it was David Loiseau who gave him the idea to call Swick out on the internet:
"I called David Loiseau, because we were both excited about the [potential] fight," Goulet said. "He told me to write some things on Sherdog and other forums, and I did. Mike Swick saw what I wrote and accepted the fight."
It has been confirmed that the fight will take place at welterweight. Goulet has spent the better part of this year fighting at 185 lbs instead of his natural weight of 170 lbs. This fight will be Swick's debut at welterweight.
The Canadian Press is reporting that UFC president Dana White has officially stated that UFC plans to bring their product to Canada in October, specifically Montreal.
The mixed martial arts circuit will be in Montreal in October, UFC president Dana White told The Canadian Press. He did not provide a date for the show but said the decision to come to Canada was made Saturday.
The UFC had planned to hold a show at Montreal's Bell Centre on April 7 but the card was called off in December. At the time White said: ''There were a lot of different things that made that fight fall apart.''
White did not provide a specific date but he did state that the event would take place at The Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec. Formerly known as the Molson Centre the arena has a capacity of 21,273.
This marks the second time there have been rumblings about the UFC coming north of the border. Originally it was rumored that the UFC would debut their product in Canada on April 7th but the plan fell apart in December. This time it looks to be legit…
This brings up quite a few interesting questions… Will Georges St. Pierre be fighting on the card? He is currently scheduled to face Josh Koscheck at UFC 74: Respect. The winner is expected to get a title shot meaning they'd have to wait until sometime next Spring before fighting again. It's unlikely that St. Pierre would be able to fight twice in the span of less than two months.
The current Canadian fighters on the UFC roster are Jason MacDonald (MW), Kalib Starnes (MW), Ivan Salaverry (MW), Mark Bocek (LW), Sam Stout (LW), Victor Valimaki (LHW), and Jeff Joslin (WW).
Other possible options?
Jonathan Goulet - Goulet seems like a very likely option. He still has two fights remaining on his UFC contract and since leaving the organization he has gotten his career back on track racking up 2 wins with 1 no contest in TKO. Goulet is a big draw in the Montreal area so it only makes sense.
Joe Doerksen - Since his loss at UFC 58: Canada vs. USA, Doerksen has been on a tear winning seven straight, all by stoppage. Doerksen is currently under contract with PRIDE and he has stated that his goal is to return to either the UFC or PRIDE.
Denis Kang - Though there have been rumors of Kang signing with Bodog, this would be the perfect opportunity for the UFC to sign Kang and debut him in front of his fellow Canadians.
David Loiseau - Though he looked rather unimpressive during his last two UFC bouts, Loiseau was able to get himself back on track winning his last fight at Art of War by submission. If Loiseau can win his next fight coming up later this summer the UFC should consider bringing the Montreal, Quebec native back.
With all of the Canadian fighters out of the way, who would you like to see on this card? Any thoughts on the possible headliner?

As aviator Charles Lindbergh lay dying of lymphoma in 1974, his wife, Anne, reassured their daughter Reeve, "Don't worry about me. I'm equal to my life." Those words came back to Reeve on Feb. 7, when Anne Morrow Lindbergh died at her home in rural Passumpsic, Vt., at age 94. "I'm thinking a lot about what she said," says Reeve, 55. "Boy, what a life it was—and she was equal to it."
Pilot and author, wife to a legend and mother of six, Anne Morrow Lindbergh grew as famous as her intrepid husband, but it was never a smooth ride. "This was a shy, private woman who kept getting yanked into the public eye," says Lindbergh biographer A. Scott Berg. The studious Smith College senior who fell for "Lucky Lindy" was raised in Englewood, N.J., the daughter of Dwight Morrow, a J.P. Morgan partner and later U.S. ambassador to Mexico, and his wife, Elizabeth, a writer and teacher. She met Lindbergh, world-renowned since his solo transatlantic flight in May 1927, when he visited her father at the embassy in Mexico later that year. Anne, 21, wrote in her diary that she felt herself "glowing and frivolous" around the dashing young hero; Charles, 23, was smitten too.
They married in 1929 and proceeded to take the world by storm. With Anne as copilot, navigator and radio operator, the couple flew across the country promoting the safety of air travel. They set a transcontinental speed record (14 hours, 45 minutes) in 1930, when Anne was seven months pregnant; that same year she became the first American woman to get a glider pilot's license. The Lindberghs' 1931 flight to China via the Arctic Circle charted a new commercial air route and formed the basis of Anne's first book, the bestselling North to the Orient.
Then came the nightmare known, pre-O.J., as the crime of the century. On the night of March 1, 1932, the Lindberghs' first child, 20-month-old Charles Jr., was kidnapped from his crib in their Hopewell, N.J., home. His body was found in nearby woods 10 weeks later; Bruno Hauptmann, a carpenter, was convicted of the murder and ultimately executed. Believing "their fame and press attention had killed the baby," says Susan Hertog, author of 1999's Anne Morrow Lindbergh, the couple spent years living quietly abroad before settling in Darien, Conn. Anne would bear five more children (Jon, 68, a farming consultant; Land, 63, a retired rancher; Anne, a writer who died in '93 at 53; Scott, 58, a scientist; and Reeve, whose memoir Under a Wing was published in 1998), but she never stopped grieving for her firstborn. "She made it clear," says Berg, "that it was always somewhere in her mind."
There were more trials to come. In the late '30s, after inspecting Hitler's Luftwaffe for the U.S. government, Charles accepted a medal from the Nazi regime and accused American Jews of warmongering. He was reviled as an anti-Semite—as was Anne, who tried to explain his isolationist views in The Wave of the Future, a treatise she later admitted was "naive." Already suffering from Charles's remote nature and long absences, the marriage nearly crumbled. Each partner drifted into brief affairs. But the relationship recovered with time, along with the pair's professional fortunes. Anne's 1955 book A Gift from the Sea, a look at women's conflicting roles, was hugely popular (she went on to write 10 more books, including five volumes of diaries), and her husband's Spirit of St. Louis won a 1954 Pulitzer Prize.
When Charles died, says Hertog, Anne "lost the will to write." But not to live. Even after the strokes in the early '90s that left her frail and confused, she enjoyed her 15 grandchildren and read poetry daily. "I used to sit with her in the evenings by the fire and hold her hand," recalls Reeve. "She often didn't know what part of her life she was living in." There was so much to choose from. "When I heard that she died," says Berg, "I really felt, 'The 20th century is now over.' "

I have Zoya Storm for you today!
This is one amazing nailpolish especially for when the sun is out!
It's a black holographic polish (it's not linear holo, more like scattered) and it's amazing!
You only need two coats for full coverage but I'm sure you can do with one thick coat. It also dried really fast and was glossy on it's own.
Let's see how it looks like:
Isn't this gorgeous? I really am in love with it and can't wait to show you Aurora :)
I definitely recommend this one to the people who love holographic and black polishes :)
What do you think of it? Do you own it?

Rivers could be second after Payton Manning in 2010 NFL MVP
If we talk about the 2010 NFL MVP favorite then the first name that comes to our mind is of Payton Manning, and certainly Philip Rives may be named very close to second place.
Rivers is in the midst of all-time great season. To his credit counts 2,9944 passing yards in 9 games. This performance has put him on tract to throw for 5,234 yards and he has broken single-season record of Dan Marino. Rivers has a 19-8 touchdown-interception ratio.
The Chargers' quarterback has posted 102.9 passer rating and 8.9-yard average and has five 300-yard games with 7 multi-score outings.
Norv Turner, head coach said, ""I've been with some guys that wouldn't be handling this situation the way he's handled it… There's some guys that play that position that would have a tough time when they're down to their seventh or eighth receiver. They're throwing to guys that they haven't had many reps with, and all he does is make it work."
