Red Lodge, Montana is one of several gateways to Yellowstone Park however, it is the only gateway that has the beautiful Beartooth Highway as the gate. Come and experience true western hospitality in this quaint, historic, mountain town. Today, Red Lodge is still a working agricultural town. Thanks in no small part to the town's preservation of and appreciation for its colorful past, it's also a fascinating destination where history is not so much a thing of the past as it is a vibrant part of the present.
Red Lodge features beautiful ranch lands, flowing rivers, spring creeks, and abundant wildlife. Mule deer enjoy the open range and grasslands available to them in outside Red Lodge, Yellowstone elk come down from the mountain tops to spend the winters, grizzly bears often visit to provide a thrill or a scare, moose are also abundant and wolves wander in and out of the valley.
Outdoor recreation Red Lodge is well known for many outdoor recreation opportunities: skiing, mountain biking, and backpacking are nearby. In April, it is host to the popular Peaks to Prairie triathlon.
Downhill skiing is the main attraction in winter; Red Lodge Mountain Resort has a long history dating back to 1960 when the ski area first opened. Originally started by a local enthusiastic ski club, they have spent the last 50 years growing into a resort that attracts visitors and families from all over the country. For those who seek an uncrowded, authentic ski experience where one can truly relax and have fun.
When the snow melts, the action moves to Red Lodge Mountain Resort's 18-hole golf course that's at the base of the Beartooth Mountains with miles of views that will make it hard to keep your eye on the ball!
The close proximity to Yellowstone Park, the Beartooth Highway and many other natural wonders make Red Lodge the perfect place to vacation or live.

Montana, Wyoming and Idaho Game ad Fish's plan to screw the grizzlies
Wyoming, Montana and Idaho officials contend that federal wildlife managers are overstepping their authority by requiring that grizzly bear hunting regulations be put in place before final "delisting" of the species. The directors of the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, Idaho Department of Fish and Game and Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks jointly urged the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to do away with a focus on hunting in a proposed grizzly delisting rule that's now on the table. .......

Help Fund Billboards
No surpise, billboards are expensive! It is beyond the limited budget of Wyoming Wildlife Advocates to keep 5 billboards up through the tourist season. Total cost for 5 billboards for 5 months will be about $13,000. We'd be thrilled to raise half that amount. Any amount you contribute is welcome.
All funds up to the target amount will be used to fund these billboards. Any funds received above and beyond will be used to design, purchase and distribute additional marketing materials that directly support this campaign. THANK YOU!!!
We will be grateful for any financial help you can give us to make this campaign a success, and if the bears could talk, they'd thank you, tooKent Nelson, Executive Director, Wyoming Wildlife Advocates
Wyoming's Grizzly Harvest
Discover why Wyoming should not be entrusted with the future survival of the Great Bear in Wyoming's Grizzly Harvest - The Story the State Wants to Bury With the Bears
Wyoming's Grizzly Harvest is excerpted from the forthcoming book Adrift on Yellowstone Island. GOAL has arranged for this excerpt to be provided to you FREE as the grizzly's fate outweighs commercial concerns.
Until April 14, you have the opportunity to comment on Wyoming's draft 2016 Grizzly Bear Management Plan. Wyoming Game and Fish Department (WFGD) representatives are currently traveling statewide to sell the plan and WGFD's ability to "manage" grizzlies post-delisting to you.
Partisan Scientists in Public Service I: The Strange Case of the Interagency Grizzly Bear Study Team
(Pull Qoute) Interestingly enough, Chris Servheen has a doctorate in wildlife ecology. Moreover, the IGBST scientists at the time, led by Dr. Charles Schwartz, were deeply involved with and fully complicit in, not only putting together the 2007 delisting Rule, but also in crafting court briefs. In other words, ignorance or lack of education can't be plausibly invoked as an explanation for why the government scientists involved in authoring the 2007 Rule so egregiously misrepresented the relevant science................. rest of article
Gov. Mead, cowboy up on the griz issue
Letter and Video by Jim Laybourn
You have worked tirelessly to remove the Yellowstone grizzly bear from Endangered Species Act protections. You are the elected representative of our entire state, and in that capacity you have a duty and responsibility to represent all of us and our respective economies. Time and again we have heard about the burden that Wyoming's ranchers feel when their livestock are killed by grizzly bears, and how we should have sympathy for these hard-working Wyomingites who are just trying to make a living. Of how Wyoming has to compensate these ranchers for their losses to bears. And yet I have never once heard a single statement from you or the Wyoming Game and Fish regarding the economic importance of grizzly bears to tourism................rest of letter to Governor Matt Mead
A Protective Firewall For Grizzlies
The delisting of the Yellowstone Grizzly Bear is imminent and this we should celebrate (''''dancing''''). Now that our happy dance is complete, we must ensure the grizzlies' recovery is permanent. To ensure "continuity of achievement," the grizzlies need a firewall to protect the success of this achievement from human foible.
The Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee was formed in 1983 to help ensure recovery of viable grizzly bear populations and their habitat in the lower 48 states through interagency coordination of policy, planning, management, and research. Many people have been working on this recovery for decades, for some; it has been most of their career. I can understand why the delisting of the grizzly before their retirement is their goal. A metaphorical gold watch if you will.
Many will argue differently,............................. Rest of Article
Yellowstone roadside grizzlies worth rangers' hassle???
Yellowstone visitors would pay an additional $41 to ensure seeing roadside grizzlies, a study shows, and the attraction creates 155 jobs and more than $10 million a year for the regional economy. The $41 visitors would pay is on top of the $25-per-vehicle entrance fee. If Yellowstone no longer allowed grizzly bears to use roadside habitat — and instead chased, moved or killed them — the regional economy would lose more than $10 million a year and 155 jobs according to the paper "The economics of roadside bear viewing."............................Rest of story
Helpful ebook for photographers
The Grand Teton Photo and Field Guide is an encapsulation of the flora, fauna, and photography of Jackson Hole Wyoming and Grand Teton National Park. Also included are thumbnails of the history and geology of the valley. This book is for all visitors with a desire to seek out wildlife, photograph the landscape, or merely learn about the history, geology, and lay of the land of Grand Teton National Park. The author provides general overviews including hot links with more in-depth descriptions of subjects of individual interest.
In the "Lay of the Land" section, includes the obvious highlights along the loop through Grand Teton Park. Hot links to side roads will give you more in-depth description of side roads and feeder roads and their highlights. Also included are descriptions of all two-rut roads that are legal to travel on in Grand Teton Park. GPS links to Google Maps are provided throughout.
As a field guide, profiles of most of animals and birds in the area are described. Jackson Hole is full of wildlife but there are places where animals are, and there are places where they are not. It is a waste of time to scrutinize a landscape devoid of what you are looking for, so this guide narrows options down to the hot spots. I provide maps of the likeliest places to find the popular critters of Grand Teton National Park. I also touch on trees, shrubs, and wildflowers with minimal explanations.
The grandeur of Grand Teton Park has made it one of the most photographed places in the world. The opportunity to harness multiple juxtapositional elements has drawn photographers for over a century since William Henry Jackson took the first photos here in 1878. Grand Teton Park's plethora of famous vistas are profiled as well as many which are less clichéd that can bring new perspectives of a well-documented landscape. Grand Tetons' iconic landscape photo opportunities are described in detail; however, they barely scratch the surface of opportunities as it takes a photographer with an artist's eye to unveil as they follow their own intuition and vision. The author who shies away from clichéd landscapes provides a chapter of his favorite places that aren't landscape clichés.
In the photography section the author includes chapters on composition, exposure basics, when to shoot and why. Daryl has summarized what he teaches in his, half day, Grand Teton workshops in a simple concise way.
If you are only in Grand Teton Park for a day there is a chapter called the "Portfolio Packer Morning Trip," that does just that, all the icons and several favorite places in a five our blitz. But it is better to spend more time and dig deep into the embarrassment of riches of Grand Teton National Park................. More Info

My son's school has diagnosed him with Asperger's disorder but I'd like to get him seen by some one outside of the school. I live in Greensville County area, and the closer I can be to home the better, but I can travel as far east as Hampton Roads or as far north as Richmond. I can go as far south as Raleigh, NC as well, but I realize that's not this tribe. I live very close to the NC border so to travel that way isn't far. Anyone know of anyone good?
Thanks soooo very much for this. I'll check it out

But whether it is a lack of basketball skill, immaturity or desire to compete, it has become painfully obvious that the 2013-2014 Boilermakers, with the exception of now injured graduate student Sterling Carter, are not improving.
After giving up an opponent single-game record 17 made 3-pointers and 94 points in Thursday night's loss to Michigan State in Mackey Arena, it actually got worse Sunday in a 76-57 loss to vastly improved Nebraska in Lincoln.
Terran Petteway scored 29 points, and Shavon Shields added 18 points and 10 rebounds for the Cornhuskers, who have won five consecutive Big Ten games.
The Boilermakers, meanwhile, are playing like a team that has lost its way and can not wait for the season to end.
As are a significant number of Boilermaker fans frustrated with the product they are paying to watch. Purdue shot 28.8 percent from the field at Nebraska and compounded its missed shots by failing to retreat on defense, which simply is a lack of effort.
Painter has said frequently that there will be games during which the ball will not go in the basket, but a team can find a way to win on the defensive end by playing with effort and passion.
That is not happening right now, and several players seem to have lost their way. Terone Johnson's confidence is shot. Ronnie Johnson continues to force shots early in the shot clock.
Center A.J. Hammons, who has a million dollars in potential, often plays with indifference. Center Jay Simpson has shown little improvement, and sharpshooting Kendall Stephens always is in foul trouble.
Raphael Davis and Bryson Scott play with passion, but neither guard is a good perimeter shooter.
Instead of getting better, many of these guys are slumping in February and that is a terrible reflection on a program that is known for improvement.
Since E'Twaun Moore and JaJauan Johnson exhausted their athletic eligibility, Purdue is 23-27 in its 50 Big Ten games, including 5-9 this season with Michigan, Iowa and Wisconsin the next three opponents on the schedule.
These are difficult times for a college basketball program that always has taken pride in improvement, winning when opponents may have superior talent. In that respect, Purdue appears to have lost its way in what has become a most difficult time in Purdue basketball lore.

My family and I travel to New London frequently to visit our son. We stayed at several hotels and rented homes before finding the Coastal Cottage Inn. Pam and the Captain are always accommodating and welcome guests as if they are arriving home each time. The Inn is absolutely lovely and breakfast is amazing!
5 su luglio 29, 2016
My first stay at a B&B and I will definitely stay here again on my next visit! Pam and Marcus are wonderful hosts and provided information about the area along with its history. They have a beautiful home and make you feel at home.

My husband and I stayed at Coastal Cottage July 11th. What a beautiful home!! from the minute you turn the key. The stain glass window at the top of the stairs tells you the history and the fine architecture of this home. Each room has something special tranquil and soothing to offer.. Pam and Marcus are not only lovely innkeepers but have filled this home with high end furnished pieces and momentous. A true "GEM FROM THE PAST". Breakfast at Sweeties DELICIOUS!! Thanks guys, Mabel and Ray :)

My boyfriend and I stayed here for our one year anniversary and I have to say that our experience at this B&B has been amazing! Pam and the Captain are very welcoming hosts. They made us feel right at home in their place. The location is truly AWESOME central to all the major sights and attractions. 15 mins to mystic seaport, an hr to Rhode Island and Boston! Really cute town, and the FOOD in this town is mostly mom and pops places which we like! I highly recommend this place if you're looking to feel right at home. Thanks for having us Pam and Captain!

My fiance and i planned a little trip to mystic to celebrate our 10 years together . We have always preferred bed and breakfasts over hotels. They are always much cleaner and just a more pleasant stay altogether. Coastal cottage inn was very very clean and both Pam and her husband are lovely people. Felt right at home. We are early risers and it was wonderful to have coffee waiting for us downstairs. The house is filled with beautiful decoration . Thanks so much for opening up your home to us ! Betta and Jermaine .

Pam and Marcus provided us with the hospitality one would give to family. They accommodated our specific needs and were sociable yet respectful of our privacy. The bed was extremely comfortable and the living and eating areas were pleasant and had elegant decor.
4,8 su maggio 07, 2015
Even Eugene O'Neill would have been happy to be in New London if he had stayed here with Pam Collins & Captain Marcus Fisk! These are Innkeepers extraordinaire, they go 100% to be gracious hosts. And what a beautiful Victorian home (from the 1890's). Get Captain Fisk -- if you're lucky -- to tell you stories of the sea. He says there are some he can't even speak of, but maybe he will.

We chose to stay for our visit to see our son at the Coast Guard Academy. The home is beautiful, very comfortable rooms. The breakfast is off-site at Sweeties, great breakfast and very personable. The owner is Johnson & Wales culinary trained. It was wonderful in the home, felt like we had the home to use tobe comfortable to order takeoutand have our son relax out of uniform. Be prepared with your own hairdry and travel size shampoo/conditioner. Feels like you are guest in a home rather then hotel.

Atlanco/Tru-Spec Sizing Information
Please Wait - Updating Your Shopping Cart
Ready when you are®
The TRU-SPEC 24-7 Polo delivers exceptional comfort and the features you need to do your job. This ultra-comfortable polo actually combines two fabrics into a single garment to guarantee maximum wearability and comfort. Besides keeping you cool, dry and comfortable, this polo is designed with TRU-FIT™ to permit a free, easy movement any officer needs on the job. The special blend of 40% polyester single pique knit on the inside and 60% combed cotton on the outside is treated with our special TRU-DRI™ moisture-wicking technology — keeping you cool and dry in any condition. A tapered body and gusseted sleeves make for a great looking professional polo that also gives the wearer great range of motion.
TRU-SPEC 24-7 Men's Short Sleeve Polo features:
I selected three of these shirts and had them embroidered with my department's custom logo (patch design) on one side and my name/rank on the other. The three vary in age from a year to a month, and are worn alongside legion other navy blue uniform apparel. I have found two faults of these shirts. 1. The dark navy fades faster than any other uniform item I've ever seen. I've even attempted to stem the fading with special "for darks" detergent. 2. The pen slots are awesome: until they get holes at the bottom that render the shirt inappropriate for uniform wear. If they can't take a basic $20 twist-retractable pen, please don't put them up there and call them pen slots. A lot of us don't like walking around with crappy, plastic disposable pens in view.

This time it started with Miss Peggy motioning for me to dance with her to the music of "Shake, Rattle and Roll."
Your grandparents will remember that as a prototypical rock song from the early 1950s – a song they danced to at sock hops. It had words and music and a beat. The words' meaning was more sexual than philosophical. Sample line: "I'm like a one-eyed cat peepin' in a seafood store."
I never danced to the song. I was born without connecting neurons between my brain and my feet, and I never learned to dance.
I remember once touring the old Soviet Union when a band struck up as we were dining in Erevan, Armenia. Barbara, wife of my friend and colleague, Brian Dickinson of Providence, R.I., invited me to dance. I protested that I would just make a fool of myself.
"So who knows you in Erevan?" she asked.
I was thoroughly rattled, and I'm sure I was shaking because the room was full of strangers, and I knew my two left feet were about to be exposed. But I rolled my eyes and managed some kind of movement.
So when Miss Peggy motioned me to dance the other night, I mustered the nerve to approach her and escort her to the floor.
She was wearing seductive knee-high boots, and I figured people would be looking at her, not me.
As I drew near to her, I noticed that I was barefooted. I decided not to let that get in the way of my dancing.
I reached the floor, all right, but Miss Peggy didn't follow me. Before I could shake or rattle, I rolled. Next thing I remember was Miss Peggy's sweet voice overhead inquiring,: "Are you all right?"
"I'm OK," I mumbled, taking my time about getting up. It wasn't that I was disabled or anything. I was still not fully awake.
Somehow, I've got to figure out how to tell when a dream is leading me off the bed and down to the floor. The last time I rolled out of bed, I was chasing my long-dead dog, Candi, trying to effect a reunion, though I don't believe there's a resurrection for animals. Candi ran into a ditch, and I followed. It took me a long time to hit the bottom of that ditch, and I was wondering what I had fallen into. Then I hit the floor.
The time before that, we were living in a condo, and our bedroom abutted the neighbors' unit. I don't remember what dream led to my fall, but the neighbors later recalled that they were awakened during the night by what felt like an earthquake.
I think the tendency to roll out of bed is the result of a transfer of genes between generations. My Aunt Ruby sleepwalked, so she was usually out of bed and roaming the house before waking up. One time, though, she climbed through an upstairs window and fell to the ground. She she was halfway up the stairs before coming awake. My grandparents once awakened as my Uncle James sleepwalked into their room.
"James, what are you doing?" asked Grandma.
I will not quote James directly, because he used Anglo-Saxon phraseology to let them know that he was using Grandma's shoe for a potty.
Thank goodness, I never did that. Miss Peggy has a ton of shoes, and she cherishes them all, so were I to defile one of them, I would quickly find myself sleeping with the cats on the patio.
I've been treating all this as a joke, but the kids take it seriously.
"You are so scary," posted daughter Angie on Facebook. "Do all your young'uns have to pitch in and buy you a safety net for your bedroom now?"
I assured her that our bedroom floor is covered in soft carpet, and the only danger is that I might strike the nightstand by my pillow. She had a helpful suggestion: "Maybe Mom could sew some little pockets to the bed skirt for all your accoutrements when you disassemble at night. Then you could get rid of the nightstand."
Thanks, but I have no intention of closing my eyes while a bunch of accoutrements lurk in a pocket of the bedskirt.
The problem is that I have a tendency to sleep on the very edge of the bed. I can go to sleep in the middle of our queen-sized bed, but when I wake during the night, I find myself hanging off the edge. Maybe we need to take a leaf from our ancestors' book: When daughter's beau had to spend the night, he would sleep in the same bed as daughter, but the old folks put a board down the middle to make sure (they thought) that the two slept separately. The practice was known as "bundling," and it had nothing to do with AT&T, Comcast or Verizon. I need that board down the side of the bed to make sure I don't roll off.
Miss Peggy recently took care of another sleep problem I have. When we traded our pillow-top mattress for an adjustable mattress, we elevated the new mattress to the level of the pillow-top. That way, when I'm getting out of bed, I can just put my feet on the floor, and I'm standing. But as age takes the spring out of my legs, I find it a bit of a challenge to climb into bed. So my wife bought a cushioned bench to place at the foot of our bed, allowing me to step comfortably up to the mattress and crawl to my normal place at the head of the bed.
With a bench at the foot and a board down the side, I should sleep safely. And maybe the next floor I hit will be a dance floor.

Mr. International: MMA is now MMAE
This is number eighty-nine in Jack's series of interviews with MMA fighters and personalities, and for this particular interview, we're pleased to feature UFC welterweight veteran, TUF 4 competitor, and world-traveler, "Mr. International," Shonie Carter. Jack had the good fortune to speak with the entertaining and personable MMA pioneer, and now you can have that same opportunity! Shonie insisted that his personal phone number be included in this interview. So there's that, Shonie's thoughts about MMA, his opinion of Ronda Rousey's Judo, his lingering resentment toward Carlos Newton, and much, much more. Please enjoy the conversation below.
Jack Brown: What was your first experience with martial arts/combat sports, and how did it become more than just a hobby for you?
Shonie Carter: I was a wrestler in high school and college, and I did the 1996 Olympic trials and two world teams. That was my first martial art, if you will. My second one was Judo. Then I tiptoed into Japanese Jiu-Jitsu. Then my fourth one was American Jiu-Jitsu. My fifth one was American kickboxing. My sixth one was Olympic Pankration fighting. My seventh one was Shidokan Karate. And my eighth one was American boxing.
JB: You were a U.S. Marine before you were a professional fighter. What did being in the military do for you as an individual and how did it lead to you transitioning into a fighting career?
SC: The Marines just instilled that "never say die" attitude. My wrestling had given me the hustle to go out there and get it. But, honestly, fighting was all about the competition and the risk. It was about being able to take what was given to me and then finding out whether or not it was just theoretical.
JB: What do you recall about your first professional MMA fight and how prepared do you feel you were at the time?
SC: My first fight was when I was in college in 1996. That's when I did a street wrestling tournament in Morristown, Tennessee. I did it because my friends didn't think that I could fight. But my girlfriend will tell you, I'm a tough nerd. And back in those days, I was walking around campus in collared shirts with cufflinks. In college, no one walked around with cufflinks on their shirts, not even the professors. I was wearing suspenders and carrying a gun because I was in the Marines.
The promoter of the fight, Monte Cox, told me that my opponent would just be "a boxer" and that I'd be "fine." I later found out that he was like a state champion in wrestling and "a boxer." But he wasn't like a beginning boxer. He was an amateur champion boxer. I think I have the footage. I'm on a video safari for footage from all my fights. That's a major undertaking for 187 fights. Literally, he threw just one right cross and then missed on the second one. Thank God that he missed on the second one because the first one put me down. I thought I was ready, but apparently not.
JB: You rebounded from early losses and had a very solid record when you made your UFC debut at UFC 24 against Brad Gumm. What was it like fighting in the SEG era UFC?
SC: Even before I got into the UFC at whatever one it was, 24, 22, whatever it was, I was doing well. I had actually been on a killing spree, if you will. In MMA then there weren't websites to post records on and everything. By the time I fought Brad, I had over thirty or forty fights. I'm the only one with the footage and most websites won't honor it unless they have the whole fight card, but I'm like, "What fighter knows the whole fight card?" Even today, unless the fighter goes on the internet and looks at the UFC or Bellator or whoever's website, fighters don't know who else is on their card. You don't care because you can only worry about one person.
In the SEG era, it was the dark ages. I tell people all the time that fighting then was for peanuts. I made $500 to show and $500 to win. I didn't think much of it. As a preliminary bout, it was the first fight of the night, but it was also the first televised fight on that particular show. Years later, I saw Brad at The Ultimate Fighter auditions. He looked the same. He is one of those Peter Pan dudes that even though you know he's older, you would card him to go to a high school dance. I would be checking his ID to buy a can of Coca Cola.
JB: What was it like having that fight with Dan Severn as the third man in the cage? I think he refereed that fight.
SC: He did, and it was surreal because who doesn't know Dan Severn? It was so corny cool because he had a referee's striped jersey on. I was laughing. When you look back at it, you laugh because he had on these hot little wrestling shoes and a football referee's jersey. And he had his shirt tucked in. I was like, "Oh my God! He tucked his shirt in!" I still tuck in T-shirts, but that's a military habit.
JB: I don't think it could have been a more perfect UFC debut for you than to have Dan Severn in there. Once the fight started, were you able to tune Dan out and not think about the fact that Dan Severn was refereeing your fight?
SC: I don't have ADHD and I don't need Adderall to zone in. I've heard undercurrents of how people are starting to use it to zone in fighting, but I dare you to throw a punch, kick me, or grab me and think that you don't have my attention. I'm going to focus all my attention on you.
JB: During your first stint in the UFC, you went 3-2, and then you had an opportunity to return to the promotion via the fourth season of TUF. You were absolutely one of the stars of that "comeback" season. How was that experience from your perspective?
SC: I actually really enjoyed it. It didn't wear on me at all. For most of the guys there, it wore them down fast, but for me, it was like a vacation of fun. I would honestly tell you that, other than being away from my kids and worrying about catching conjuncta-funkta-vitis from one of the wrestlers… I was just like, "Oh, don't touch me. Don't touch me. You nasty." We men are nasty as hell man. We don't want to do dishes. We rarely do laundry. I guess it was because it was a strange scenario, and people weren't caring since it was not their house. I was doing dishes at three in the morning. I was meticulous. I was in the Marines and I have a sleep disorder.
My sleep patterns are horrible. My girlfriend will tell you that I will literally get up in the middle of the night to start drawing. I'll go back to sleep, and then I'll wake up twenty minutes later and start drawing again. I'll go back to sleep, and then three hours later I'll be back up drawing. It's just something that happens.
But I'd do TUF again and I often have thought of auditioning. They wouldn't want me, but I've thought about it. I thought that I'd probably be sequestered to coaching even though it would be hard for me to coach this new generation of mixed martial artists. They believe that they know more than I do. Well I can throw you sixty-five different ways or take you down sixty-five different ways just in my Judo repertoire alone. I don't know if they would even want me to be around them, but I would do it. It was fun.
JB: Looking at your long career, you've fought a few generations of the welterweight division's toughest guys. You had fights with Laverne Clark, Dave Menne, Chris Lytle, Matt Serra, Pat Miletich, Karo Parisyan, Carlos Newton. And you also had fights with guys still fighting today like Nate Marquardt, Mike Pyle, Jon Fitch, and Rick Hawn. Who were a few of the opponents that you respected the most?
SC: I really respected Dave Menne because we fought twice. I beat him in a twenty-five minute fight. I think it was a fifteen and ten or a twenty and five fight. Then we fought again for a straight twenty and that was a draw. I also always thought about having a rematch with LaVerne Clark. He was like 4-1 or 5-1 in the UFC.
I lost respect for Carlos Newton. I really did. I fought him in the W-1 up in Canada. The reason why I took the fight wasn't about the money. This was one of the truest moments in modern MMA where someone didn't really care about the money. It was supposed to be for a world title. If you're training for a regular bout, it's three five-minute rounds. This was supposed to be a five five-minute round fight. The training for that goes from training for a hundred yard dash to training for a marathon. And literally, I trained to do a really hard marathon.
Not only was he late to the weigh-ins, but the night before he and the promoter came knocking on my door. They told me that he wasn't going to make weight. I said, "Okay. I'll give him a pound or five. I'll give him a catchweight fight. But I still want it to be a f—ing title fight." Please forgive my profanity. I wanted the title fight.
So I had already made weight and I was sitting there with abdominal cramps. My girlfriend laughs, but I always tell her that I know what you go through. Women are like, "How the hell are you going to say that?" Well, I've had abdominal cramps before. They say, "That's different." I say, "Shut your pie-hole. I've had abdominal cramps and I've had testicular cramps on top of abdominal cramps."
So I was sitting in the fetal position all night. Then we get to the weigh-ins, and I was there first. Now the rule is, if you don't know, if I beat you out of the locker room, getting dressed for training, to the weigh-ins, going to the car, if I beat you in any form or fashion, if Shonie Carter is waiting on you, you are on some bullshit. I am the most not on time individual of all time. If I beat you, you are on that BS. Carlos Newton was two or three hours late to the weigh-ins. This was in Montreal. This was his hometown.
He gets there. All the other fighters have weighed in except for me because I can't weigh in until his camp is there. He came in like he was struggling or whatever. He stepped on the scale. I gave him five pounds and he showed up eleven pounds overweight. So he was over five for seventy and he came in at 181.6 for a welterweight world title fight. I was like, "Are you kidding me? Seriously?" So then the commission stepped in and they stripped the title fight. I was like, "Wow. This isn't even about the money. The fact is that I'm going to lose this fight because it's designed to go the distance." Stylistically, I wasn't going to knock him out and he sure as hell wasn't going to submit me.
Post-fight he said that I was greasing after he got his hand raised. They gave me his twenty percent, but this wasn't about the twenty percent. I wanted the belt. I was going to spend the money on bills or whatever I spent it on, but I wouldn't spend the belt. So he said I greased and he said I tapped. You can see the interview on Sherdog or YouTube or whatever research format. I was like, "How are you going to complain after you got your hand raised and say that I tapped and I greased? You showed up 11.6 pounds overweight!"
JB: So you think that if it had been a title fight, and it went five rounds, that you would have outlasted him?
SC: Oh, hell yeah! Hell yeah. Oh, hell yeah. What it was, people, at times, get caught up in the spectacle of my persona vs. the attributes of my athletic and martial arts capacity/ability. People know me for a few things. One is the spinning backfist. Two is that they recognize me for my attire. What people don't realize is that I am more than a two-trick pony. It's okay when you see Shoney in a suit and you know about the spinning backfist, but then you step foot in that cage and then you realize, "Oh shit!" I'm throwing you. You try to submit me, and then all of a sudden I'm getting out of your submission holds. You wonder if I know Jiu-jitsu, and then I'm like, "Apparently I do because I know what you're doing and I'm able to escape it. I know how to escape it so therefore I should know how to do it."
There is a pseudo-highlight reel of me throwing people. I laugh because, I'm not knocking Ronda Rousey or Karo Parisyan, but people think so much of them as Judo players. As a non-Olympic level wrestler, but an Olympic level Judo player, in just that one fight against Brad Gumm, I threw him eight times. It was eight different throws, mind you. People talk about how Ronda is 8-0 and she ain't spent no time in the cage. I'm like, "She's using Ne Waza with a little bit of Judo. She's only using low level Judo." They talk about Karo Parisyan, when he fought Dave Strasser, and he used Yoko Tomoe Nage to Ude Garami. It was a downward facing bent armlock and that was a higher level of Judo than what Ronda is doing. She's doing Koshi Guruma or a headlock to a Juji Gatame, a cross-body armbar. That's the old ways of Judo and most people don't realize that's the reason why she's beating people. Women in MMA don't know Judo. They don't know Ne Waza. If you don't know it, it's like Sun Tzu's book, "The Art of War" – "If you do not know your enemy as well as you know yourself, you shall surely be vanquished by your opponent." I've told Miesha Tate and I've told other women fighters, "If you want to learn what she's doing, I can teach you in ten minutes. Or I can teach you in ten days. Either way, I can teach you how to stop it and recognize when you are in danger." But in this era of modern MMA, a lot of people think that because they're in the UFC, they know everything and that they're the alpha male or female of MMA. I'm like, "No. They're young athletes with a big budget behind them. They get sponsored while training." I never had that. I never once had full sponsorship while training as an athlete. It was just my dedication and love of the sport that kept me working hard.
JB: During your career, you had an amazing number of fights and you have been all over the world, Mr. International. As a veteran of the UFC, Pancrase, Shooto, WEC and so many others, what were a couple of stops along the way that stood out? And that's besides the time you were stranded in Turkey.
SC: Ha-ha. The things that stood out in my career: getting lost in Russia while hanging out with the Russian mafia, teaching a Jiu-Jitsu seminar in Japan, climbing the Pyramid of Giza in Egypt while wearing a kilt, running up the Great Wall of China after I cut in front of 15,000 people because I didn't want to wait in line, swimming in the Aegean Sea off the shores of Greece, getting into a bar-fight in Belfast, Ireland, and drinking real Guinness because what we drink here is cat piss, collecting seashells off the seashore of the Mediterranean, praying at the Wailing Wall in Israel and Bethlehem, walking the Via Dolorosa – the path that Jesus took on the way to his crucifixion, resting my hand where Jesus rested his head and left an imprint as the Roman soldiers beat him, drinking from the well from which Baby Jesus, Mary, and Joseph drank from, rowing a boat on the Danube River in Budapest, Hungary, going to Dracula's Castle in Romania, shaking hands with Alexander Karelin. The list goes on and on.
But I actually got scared once. I chickened out of something. I got offered a chance to go surfing in Australia. I was like, "Yuck fou, buddy!" They were like, "Come on." I said, "F— you, there are sharks out there!" It was Surfers Paradise, and I was like, "No. I'm going to go look at these Ugg boots." I found out how Ugg-ly they were and how much they cost.
I look back upon the past and the journey I've been engaged on, and I just love the idea of seeing the world and doing stuff that other fighters haven't done or going where promotions haven't been. If they been there, I've been there and done that, just like them, or I did it before them.
JB: Your last fight was a year ago this month, last September. Are there going to be any more fights for you?
SC: You know what? Actually, I've been so busy with the training of the fighters. I'm not saying, "No," because Randy Couture fought until he was forty-seven and I'm only forty-one. But I have way more miles on my body than Randy. I look at it like this. I've been offered fights in Bellator. I lost that fight in King of the Cage because I took the fight on four days' notice. My last few fight you would say, "Shonie, you're losing." I'm like, "I know. They keep calling me on short notice." I would never do that anymore because I'm a man of a certain age and I need the time to train. Right now I'm walking around at a buff, svelte, 201 pounds. Is it fight shape? No. I'm in daddy shape. You know that tough dad that you see walking around in a tank top and Timberland boots on the beach or walking down the street? I'm buff dad right now. To get back in that type of shape, I would have to find some younger training partners because all my training partners are fat, old, and married with children. And that's the truth.
I'll be in Las Vegas next week with a heavyweight that I've got fighting in a title fight for Tuff-N-Uff, and people will be like, "How big are you now?" I'll be like, "Jesus, why?" "Why weren't you like this when you were fighting?" they'll ask. At one time, I was 217, and I thought about doing a bodybuilding show. It would be fun because I'd get to wear Speedos voluntarily and people would have to look at me and take photos. But dude, their diet is ridiculous. It is way too much. Plus my girlfriend was getting mad because I would roll over in bed and crush her. She made me cut weight.
JB: As a true veteran of the sport, what do you think of what is going on with MMA right now and what it has become, and where do you think it's headed?
SC: It's a commercial money-making entity. When pioneers like myself did it, we did it for the love of it. Nowadays it's about the love of money and entertainment. I did it for entertainment as well, yes, and stress management, and I love getting paid, but it was the journey, not the destination of making it to the UFC. I tripped and fell into the UFC, but nowadays there have been so many jobs created with mixed martial arts – the performance coaches, the dietary specialists, the reporters, the websites, the clothing lines, all the way down to the custodians who pick up the garbage after the graphic designers and bosses sign checks and contracts and throw them off into the garbage. With all these clothing stores that have opened up and the dojos, MMA is almost like an MMA McDonald's. You got so many dojos and people offering MMA when they don't know what fifteen and twenty-nine minutes are. I find that amusing.
The athletic commissions are involved, and they have these controversial criteria for decisions on what's legal and what's not. Instead of referring to the true experts of mixed martial arts, they come up with their own digital format of what they think is right, a virtual, theoretical format. A person, like myself, would have a hard time getting a job with an athletic commission or any particular promotion. You would think that you'd want a guy like me. If you decided that you wanted to learn how to competitively swim, you'd go to Michael Phelps. You don't go to a guy that read a book on learning how to swim. Michael is going to tell you about all the strokes, the breathing techniques, everything. If I want to learn how to dive, I go to Greg Louganis. If I want to learn how to shoot, I go to a sniper, not the candlestick maker. If I want to learn to cut meat, I go to the butcher. If I want to learn to make a pie, I go to the baker. Well a lot of people don't know how to go to the butcher, the baker, or the candlestick maker. I look at it like this. If you want to make money in a business, learn your craft and experience your craft. Don't just sit there and think because you watched 5,000 matches that you know MMA. Because if you do not know what that twenty-ninth minute is, how do you expect to make money and say that you're experienced enough to teach what MMA is? My professional opinion is that MMA is now MMAE, for entertainment. It's a business.
They talk about drug testing and performance enhancing drugs. Well if you look at anything that you have to go buy and put it in your mouth or stick in your ass to help you get better, yes that's a PED. If you didn't kill it or grow it, if you bought it off a shelf, it's a performance enhancing drug. The business of mixed martial arts is a money-making entity and I'm not knocking it. It's great that fighters can make more money doing what they think they love. But for them, it's just a destination point. One day the destination point ends. It's Never Never Land. Just like in Peter Pan when they had to leave Never Never Land and go back home, the destination goes away. It's the journey of it. That's what people fail to realize. The destination looks "E-Z." I call it "5-26." I call it 5-26 because it's the fifth and twenty-sixth letter of the alphabet, E and Z. But then they experience it and they go, "Mother, father, sister, brother, I did not realize what they're doing is that difficult."
A young lady that I'm training now, she used to hate grappling. She's now training to be on my dual meet team and she's like "Oh my God. This is so hard." But she's learning and she's understanding it now. In mixed martial arts, we've got the cute shorts, Vale Tudo shorts for the ladies and you've got GSP wearing his little spandex. They sell the equipment with GSP on the cover, and then you buy it and find out it is a piece of s—-. Do you think that GSP really uses it? Ha-ha. In front of the cameras, he does because he deposits a check from that company. When the cameras ain't rolling, he ain't always using that equipment.
JB: Last question, Shonie, and thanks so much for doing this. What are your plans or goals for the future?
SC: That is a fully loaded question, probably the most loaded of this interview. First, I'm hoping my book will be out by the end of the year. And I will have pictures to prove everything. Second, right now I'm training young amateur fighters to get ready for an amateur IFL-like league. There will be a dual meet against Dan Severn's team. We're the Chicago Hitmen vs. his Detroit Ignition. It's going to be a season of teams. I'll be holding auditions for my team all the way up until October 9th. Ha! The dual meet is October 12th in Detroit. I'm filming a TV show too. You can see still photos of me on set on my page. It's called "The Armbar.
JB: "So you've got a TV show, you've got a book, you're coaching in a league, and you are doing a safari to find video for all of your old fights?"
SC: Yeah, I'm hunting and there is a reward for any fight footage that I don't have. I'm giving away autographed UFC posters if anybody can get me fight footage of mine that I don't have. If people want to get in touch with me, hit me up on Facebook about it. But the biggest one is that we just got asked to do a pilot for Comcast SportsNet because they for some odd reason are interested in me and my co-host, Joel Radwanski. It will be off the wall. My show is not going to be me sitting there reading stats with a shirt and tie on. Sometimes you're going to see me in a kilt. Sometimes you'll see me in a kimono and a top hat. And you know that I know what I'm talking about. We'll be talking about what grinds my gears about MMA. We're going to have a crazy format. I don't want to spill all the beans, but it's going to be something way different than what you're expecting from the typical MMA show. Most of the guys sit in two chairs with one camera pointed at them while they spew off fight stats and their opinions. I'm going to give it to you red, rugged, and raw, and I'm probably going to have to be edited for all the four-letter word expletives that seem to be prevalent in my vernacular. People are like, "What did he just say?" I went to college, damn it.
Also, I just got hired by one Mr. Thomas Atencio. If you don't know who he is, he is the former president and co-founder of Affliction Clothing. He has started another company called "Grips Athletics." He has products in a few different countries, and I'm going to be his Midwest sales rep. So you all can get in touch with me about getting the rash guards, fight gear and clothing, and kimonos. His gis are very unique because they have less than a 1% shrinkage rate and he is having stuff female cut, traditional cut, and tailored cut. It's going to be something that I really, truly endorse. I'm going to be doing grappling tournaments exclusively in Grips kimonos.
I'm also going to do something that is not unprecedented, but crazy nevertheless. For you all out there, no prank calls because I will prank call you back – 312-256-5079 for you dojo owners, you Senseis, Sifus, Shihans, team leaders, customer service reps, people that are interested in buying kimonos and rash guards, give me a call. Shoot me a text first.
JB: You want me to put your number on the UG in this interview?
SC: Yes. Entirely. Yes, I don't mind at all.

Lilies enigma raises same old doubts
Published 25/05/2009 | 00:00
When it comes to exhibition football there is no better team than Kildare to produce the goods. We got a great example of this in the first half against Offaly in Portlaoise yesterday when Kildare simply blew the opposition out of the water with a devastating opening quarter that gave them a 1-7 to 0-1 lead after 20 minutes.
This was textbook football as the Kildare wing forwards tore the Offaly defence to shreds. And with full-forward Ronan Sweeney dispatched far outfield, the two inside men, Alan Smith and John Doyle, caused mayhem in a stuttering Offaly backline who hardly managed to lay a finger on these dancing predators numbered 10 to 15.
Changed times indeed in a game between Offaly and Kildare but then, as far as Offaly football is concerned, we do live in strange times.
As has so often happened with Kildare over the years and still under the Kieran McGeeney regime, it seems, exhibition periods are often replaced by more searching queries from opponents and then the whole picture changes for the Lilywhites.
Kicks get blocked down, gaps appear in defence and terrible attempts at scoring are kicked wide from easy positions.
Unfortunately for Offaly, their chance to change the Kildare players from swans to ugly ducklings came too late because this game was over at half-time.
In the first half, Offaly played as poorly as I have ever seen in a championship game. Only the outstanding Niall Smith at midfield prevented a total massacre in that opening period in which Offaly managed a total of two points from play, while Kildare scored at will from play.
But then a situation that Kildare followers are very familiar with emerged after half-time.
The scoring rate dropped to the extent that they only managed three points in the opening 20 minutes of the second half.
Some substitutions, mainly veterans like Ciaran McManus, Niall Darby and Shane Sullivan, at least made their physical presence felt, and, all over the field, Offaly players began to remind us how the county used to play all those years against Kildare and everybody else in Leinster.
But, of course, the result had long been decided, so the Offaly cause was hopeless through the second half.
Most worrying for Kildare fans was the disappearance of the flair, the running at defenders and the well-constructed scores that had dazzled everybody in the opening half.
So, once again, we cannot be sure how good, or bad, this Kildare team are, but most people would say that, on average, they have the cut of a good championship team about them. That's about the best we can say because a string of wides and signs of distress in the backline against forwards who were no world-beaters. This must leave some nagging doubts with McGeeney, as well as the fans.
That said, Kildare did win at a canter and are in pole position to reach the Leinster final, at least.
It is interesting to observe the referees' behaviour nowadays following the decision inspired by the managers to scuttle the experimental rules.
So far, it is business as usual -- pulling, dragging and other negative play largely going unnoticed.
Yesterday, within 20 yards of where the referee and a linesman were standing, Dermot Earley appeared to elbow Ciaran McManus, but no action of any kind took place. Some things never change.

It seems even Zack Wheeler believed the hype. The Mets pitching phenom made his much-anticipated Grapefruit League debut Saturday afternoon and needed a little intervention. After walking the first batter he faced, Wheeler yanked a fastball, which hit off the edge of catcher John Buck's glove and crashed into the backstop.

Thank you for the great tips, it's good to know the steps I have been taking will take me in the correct direction. I must say that I would love to work with PMM and if you would take look at my blog, which contains photos from my portfolio and fashion films I have been in, I would love and appreciate your personal advice and guidance.
goodmorning.. i was trying to see were are the guidelines for the spotlight model of the month.. please advise….
This was very helpful! No matter where you are in your career, whether starting out, on hiatus or just need a refresher, this was great!
This is great for a new person like me who is "thinking" about plus modeling…
Terrific advice! I meet all the size specs, but are agencies usually looking for plus size models within a certain age range as well?
i recently discovered your page.. this Q and A is really helpful for beginners like me.. i hope a plus magazine also reaches Asia..
Great article, Maddy! Very informative for the gal looking to branch into this amazing industry!
I'm 15 years old and I'm 5'9 and weight around 250. I want to become a plus model but I haven't found a place. Do you know any places where I can look? I'm really want to be a plus model
Thank you very much for these helpful tips! My height and my tattoos are going to be my biggest challenge. When I do my head show and full body is it best I show my tattoos? Or should I use cover up on them?
thank uou for taking time to give inspiring models a way to find themselves a new and exciting career. It has been over thirty years since i been on a runway. I am so excited to be going back into this feild. I have the support of my financee and we will be doing our best to make this work for me. Seems he is more excited than I am for me to go back into something I really loved as a teen. So, again I like to thank you for all the kind and supportive information in which you write.
Some great and well needed advice. Thanks a lot Maddy.
Thank you for the tips to get me going in the right direction, but is there an age requirement for most plus size modeling? I look younger than my age, but I do not lie about my age and believe there is a market for 35+ women who want to look fashionable, sexy and classy
Hello! (: I really appreciate this entire website. I've been thinking about getting into modeling for a while now and this answered every question I've ever asked myself. Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for posting these tips online. I am a recent college graduate and throughout my young adult life, I have been told to model. Since I am Plus-Size, I never thought that the opportunity was possible for me. After reading this series of articles, I have a new fire to pursue modeling along with my other career goals. Thank you again for opening my eyes to this industry. I have something to strive for.
This was very helpful, thank you so much. I always had so many questions about plus size modeling and never knew where to start. I would love to try and start modeling because it is a passion of mine to be in front of the camera. No matter what people said about me. I used to be very self conscience about myself but now i am comfortable and love who i am. so Thank you very much! I plan to keep in touch. I want to become known and get my face out there. I'm SO excited!!!
I really enjoyed reading your tips and they gave me insight on topics I would not have thought of. Keep them coming and thanks!!!

Hey Maddy, this article is very informative. Question, how can I be a 'Plus Model Spotlight of the month'?.
Muy interesante…gracias
Hi, wanting more info on becoming the the next plus modeling for the month,or the year
Maddy, thank you so much for this information! I've been wanting to do some modeling for years, but was always told I was too big (I wear a size 24/26) or too short (I'm only 5'2″) to do so. I've done a couple of pageants and a couple runway shows for local stores and churches several years back, but nothing of any real substance. This helped to motivate me to try getting into it again. Maybe this time I really can make more of a splash in the modeling scene…
Thanks for the information. With so many scams out there it is good to find a reputable site. Thanks again.
This was truly helpful. I enjoyed and needed this. Thank you so much… 🙂
Hi Maddy, thank you for the information, it has been very very useful to myself and to all aspiring plus size models alike. I'll take it on board.

This is definitely informative for me I do appreciate the article. I am 6'0″ and I just had a baby and have lost a lot of weight (I'm about a size 20 now) but I have gotten stretch marks on my stomach from having kids (I have 2 now) and I am also 28 years old so honestly will that hinder my chances of ever considering becoming a plus size model? Thanks for the information!!! I love PMM!!!!
This information was super nice it helps a lot! Love it.
Thank you so much for sharing the information I just finished reading It was very help full.
For years, I have been asked if I modeled. My response used to be I was too fat to model. Now, it's I'm too old to model. I also worry I am too tall to model. I am 6'3″ and weigh around 230. I wear anything between a 14-18. Being at such an in between stage is difficult, but also gives me a lot of options. I would love more information on if I could be a plus size model. I've never known where to start.
This article was very helpful.
