Hello all,
I've been chasing this rattle for years on my 2003 WRX Sedan. I've tried all the fixes posted from the various subaru boards from layering foam between the headliner and metal roof... WD-40 along the rear windshield rubber surround....silicone the plastic clips along B and C pillars...etc.
Here's the symptoms. Random ticking or tapping which seems to come from the rear drivers side roof area. It's so annoying because it's right behind my ear. It goes away in the winter but extremely loud during summer temps. Putting pressure on the headliner with my hand right behind my head while driving silences the noise. So naturally I thought it was the headliner.
I was so annoyed, I took the entire headliner out of the car to troubleshoot. There was still noise so it's not the headliner. I thought it was the boxy plastic structures along the b-pillar but holding them with my hand while driving does not help.
After a while I figured out it was the black metal support bracket pictured here:
In detail here:
As you can see, there's lots of residual foam tape from other attemps at silencing this noise.
You have to pry off the plastic boxy supports to access this bracket. I don't have the energy to go step by step...but you guys can figure it out
The noise was coming from the bracket rubbing or vibrating against the structure it was bolted on to. When the car is moving, the vibration from the chasis would make it tap metal against metal. Either it just didn't fit well or the bolts were a little loose. I didn't take any chances. I took it off and put felt tape all along the metal contact surfaces.
Like so:
Put the bolts back on LOOSLY and shake it a bit to see if it makes noise. Add padding where necessary to quiet the noise. Then tighten once satisfied.
Hope this saves someone some agony or searching for rattle that seems to come from the headliner. While you have the body parts off, it would be a good idea to see what else rattles and make noise. I put felt tape on various surfaces to limit the amount of rattles from the c and b pillars.
I did this for the passenger side also just in case it gets rattling in the future.

[Superseded by NISTIR 7987 Revision 1 (October 2015): http://www.nist.gov/manuscript-publication-search.cfm?pub_id=913195] The ability to control access to sensitive data in accordance with policy is perhaps the most fundamental security requirement. Despite over four decades of security research, the limited ability for existing access control mechanisms to enforce a comprehensive range of policy persists. While researchers, practitioners and policy makers have specified a large variety of access control policies to address real-world security issues, only a relatively small subset of these policies can be enforced through off-the-shelf technology, and even a smaller subset can be enforced by any one mechanism. This report describes an access control framework, referred to as the Policy Machine (PM), which fundamentally changes the way policy is expressed and enforced. The report gives an overview of the PM and the range of policies that can be specified and enacted. The report also describes the architecture of the PM and the properties of the PM model in detail.

Pawtucket, RI- Just listening to top Red Sox prospect Jackie Bradley, Jr converse with fans on Saturday was enough to know how genuine he is. His willingness to make eye contact, share a laugh or shake a hand of a fan helped make the day for 800 plus fans at McCoy stadium. Talking to Bradley is no different; he is humble, ready to learn and excited for the season to begin. Bradley sees himself as a valuable commodity to the Red Sox organization because of his "willingness to learn every single day, to train and work hard, and to try to be the best player I can possibly be." Jackie Bradley was introduced to the fans in Pawtucket by Boston Red Sox Senior Advisor Jeremy Kapstein. Kapstein had many great things to say about Bradley, but most of what he touched on was Bradley's character. You can tell that Bradley values hard work. He takes pride in warming up before games by getting good reads on pop flies and he employs a 100% effort rule in the outfield when shagging balls during ba...

Fact of the matter is most people do not have the skills to shoot sub 1/2 MOA. Myself included. I'm pretty sure my Bushmaster's will outshoot me and I shoot those just under MOA.
It is amazing what you can do with a bolt action if you glass and pillar bed the stock. Also good optics with high quality rings that have been lapped make a big difference. Then you Spend a little time with some handloads and you can shoot 1/2" groups with most quality bolt guns. Hell even my Browning 300wsm that has been bounced off rocks out west and has had the end of the barrel slammed tip first into the ground a couple times still can barely squeek a 1/2 group. That gun has a lot of hot rounds through it and it is beat to say the least.
It isn't about what a person is able to do, it is what the gun is capable of. I want to know for a fact that any issue is me and not my gun.

Biotechnology allows for the development of new food products through a variety of scientific tools and techniques. These new foods are part of what are commonly known as novel foods.
Novel foods are:
Health Canada establishes science-based regulation, guidelines and public health policies for these novel foods. It is also Health Canada's responsibility to assess the safety of these products. The main concern in regulating biotechnology products is the health and safety of Canadians, animals and our environment. If there are any questions about the safety of a product, it is not approved.
In this section, you will find information on the following:
Health Canada and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) require product developers to follow regulatory directives and guidelines to get approval for the commercialization of novel foods, novel feeds and for environmental release. They must supply evaluators with thorough and detailed information about their novel food products before they can receive approval to sell or advertise them in Canada.
The novel foods guidelines and regulations outlining requirements for data to support safety assessment and the protocol for notification are well known by industry. When a product developer believes he has enough information about the safety of a novel food to meet the guidelines, he makes a submission to Health Canada's Novel Foods Section. The office coordinates a full safety assessment of the product, which involves a rigorous scientific assessment by Health Canada evaluators. Please refer to our Standard operating procedures for the processing a novel food notification/submission for more details.
The safety assessment of genetically modified foods includes:
Sometimes, products are submitted which do not meet Health Canada's criteria (for example, incomplete data or inconclusive studies); regulators will then request further data or studies to satisfyingly address these deficiencies.
Once the evaluation of the product is completed, a Food Rulings Proposal is prepared. This proposal is reviewed by senior staff (Directors and Director General) in the Food Directorate to ensure that all issues have been addressed. Once this has been done, a decision is made whether or not to approve the product.
If a product successfully passes the assessment process, and the other regulatory approvals for environmental and feed safety (when applicable) are in place, a "letter of no objection" is sent to the product developer. This letter indicates that the product can be sold in Canada for the intended uses, which have been listed in the submission. It also outlines any restrictions or requirements relevant to the Health Canada decision.
As part of the joint Health Canada/Canadian Food Inspection Agency Notices of Submission Project, you may comment on the safety assessments where the submissions for approval of a novel food are posted on the web.
To date, over 70 novel and genetically modified (GM) foods have been approved for sale in Canada. A listing of all approved novel food products is available and includes foods such as genetically modified corn, genetically altered soybeans, potatoes resistant to the Colorado Potato Beetle and omega-3 enhanced pork.
When a product has been issued a "letter of no objection", a Decision Document is posted. This document includes background information on the novel food, highlights of the assessment and any labeling requirements.
You can find more information about approved products of biotechnology by consulting the Biotech Product Database of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.
Health Canada is responsible for ensuring that all novel foods, including those derived from biotechnology, are safe before they enter the Canadian food system.
According to the Novel Foods Regulation, product developers must notify Health Canada's Health Products and Food Branch of its intention to advertise or sell a novel food. This pre-market notification lets Health Canada conduct a thorough safety assessment of all biotechnology-derived foods to demonstrate that a novel food is safe and nutritious before it is allowed into the Canadian marketplace.
Health Canada's guidelines reflect the recent international standards adopted by Codex Alimentarius Commission and are based on scientific principles developed over the last 10 years through expert international consultation with agencies such as the World Health Organization, the Food and Agriculture Organization and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development.
Currently in Canada, labelling is mandatory if there is a health or safety issue with a food. For example, if the nutritional value or composition of the food has been changed, or if there is an allergen present in the food, the food must be labelled as such. In this situation, special labelling is required to alert consumers or susceptible groups in the population. This applies to all foods, including GM foods.
Health Canada and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) share the responsibility for food labelling policies under the Food and Drugs Act. Health Canada's responsibilities for food labelling fall within the Department's mandate to safeguard health and safety, while CFIA leads the federal program to develop general food labelling policies and regulations. In particular, the CFIA is responsible for protecting consumers from misrepresentation and fraud with respect to food labelling, packaging and advertising, and for prescribing basic food labelling and advertising requirements.
The Government of Canada recognizes that for many Canadians, labelling of foods derived from biotechnology is an important issue of consumer preference or choice. Under a standards committee established by the Canadian General Standards Board, a Canadian standard for voluntary labelling of GE foods entitled Voluntary Labelling and Advertising of Foods that Are and Are Not Products of Genetic Engineering was developed to address non-health and safety concerns (rather, labelling for method of production, e.g., whether a food has or has not been produced through genetic engineering).
In April 2004, the national standard was adopted by the Standards Council of Canada. The objectives of the national standard are to provide meaningful criteria for labelling, understandable messages for consumers, and a consistent policy to verify the truthfulness of labels.
Public involvement is an ongoing part of Health Canada's activities. It includes consultations with consumer groups, industry groups, academia and other interested parties on common issues involving biotechnology and food from a regulatory standpoint.
The following are some of Health Canada's biotechnology-related public consultations:

Pope Francis made headlines after traveling to Calabria, Italy and denouncing the mafia.
During his trip, however, he stopped the papal motorcade to greet and bless a crowd of Italians that crowded the roadside.
In a video posted on Facebook, Pope Francis is seen exiting the motorcade vehicle to bless and kiss a sick boy on a stretcher.
"PAPA FRANCESCO si è fermato a casa nostra," the caption reads, (Italian for "Pope Francis stopped at our house")
"Brava Papa Francesco!" the group shouted as Pope Frances waved to the excited crowds and got back into his car.

The ROM (range of motion) machine offers a complete cardiovascular, strength training and flexibility excise, without the need for costly equipment. This revolutionary time saving device gives a complete workout in 4 minutes.
Our ergonomically engineered machine utilizes the principles of HIT, high intensity training. The exercise is performed with a higher level of effort, or intensity, therefore, the amount of time involved in the exercise is shorter. Your body will spend the rest of the day expending energy to recover from the workout. This is commonly known as EPOC (excess post-exercise oxygen consumption). More oxygen is consumed recovering from this type of exercise than from a steady-state workout like jogging or walkingand more calories are burned as a result of this 4 minute exercise than from 60 minutes of walking on a treadmill. The calorie burn continues long after the workout!
The ROM machine is highly efficient, and it adjusts to offer a wide range of resistance making it user-friendly for any level. With exercising consistently on the machine, in as little as 4 minutes a day, you will:
Burn Fat and build muscle
Normalize blood pressure
Balance blood sugar
Increase flexibility
Increase strength
Normalize cholesterol
Increase energy

I figured since there isn't much activity in this sub-forum, and there's a lot of info that doesn't deserve its own thread, we could use a general thread for info and pictures.
There is a rule that prohibits posting three times in a row, so if you are on your third straight post just go back and add a break/date to your last post.
So, here we go
Some websites to help you keep up with the sport across sea:
News from japan usually gets translated and posted here within 24 hours.
You can also go directly to the Japanese/Korean sites, but its a pain, and google translator usually makes a mess of the text. But sometimes if your can put it together like a puzzle you can get the news a few hours before its posted on American blogs.

Interview Translated by Flyinpig over at sherdog:
Wicky... well, I'm always on the fence with him. I do find him to be a interesting fighter, and that makes me want to see him fight even more.
This fight will be good. Tokoro takes this fight though, at least in my opinion.

Mach Interview, translated by flyinpig:
Mach on his weight:
I'm trying to cut as much weight as I can. When I was training in the US, I didn't think about cutting weight. Everyone there is big and strong, so I thought that dropping weight would get me killed. If you cut weight, of course you end up being smaller, right? The training sessions were murder, so my mind was set on not getting killed, and didn't think about cutting weight. I've started my weight cutting since I've returned to Japan. In the morning, I weigh 80kg. After working out, I think I'm about 1kg less. (weight limit is 76kg)
Mach on training in the US:
I wake up, I eat, I sleep. Then I wake up, I eat, I sleep.. That basically sums it up. The training sessions would take everything out of me, so I needed to sleep and didn't really want to do anything or go anywhere. I have some friends there, but we never met up so I feel bad.
Fights are cool, but the training is intense. The two months there was really hardcore. It's like I should have been given a green card (laughter).
Mach on training partners:
The heaviest guy there? About 140kg. Josh (Barnett) also came by to train too. Bob (Sapp) used to come by the gym in the olden days, but it feels like you're always going up against Bob there anyway.
Mach on fighting in the cage:
It doesn't matter to me anymore. It's all good. It's all the same anyway. I believe that if I perform like I know I can, I will get the results I want - even if it's in the opponent's arena. I did fight in the UFC about 10 years ago, but it's different now anyways. I want to end the fight quickly and go have some good food.
Mach on Aoki's loss to Melendez:
Every man is on his own. MMA is a one-on-one sport, and I'm doing MMA because I like the one-on-one competition. I'm not concerned with what others are doing especially when he's in a different weight class.
Mach on his previous comment that he may retire if he lost his next fight:
When you're in MMA, it becomes a big part of your life. A lot of things go through your head when you get to my age. I've always thought that if you can't perform to the best of your abilities, you're no longer qualified. They say that your heart rate slows down as you get older. That also means that the rest of your body slows down too. If I'm putting in 100%, 120% effort into it, but only can perform at 80%, I don't want fans to see me fight like that. I did say that this may be my last fight, but I will need time to think about it.
Mach on Nick Diaz:
He's one of the top fighters too. If you're not up there, you shouldn't be fighting. This is tough because I've always felt I was in that class. People may think differently, but I don't want to fight if I'm not at the top of my game.
Mach on his strategy against Diaz:
Strategy? I have none! It's always the same for me, but if I try to come in with a plan, I can't be myself in the ring. It makes no sense to go out and have a fight that's a boring stalemate, right?
The guy people have been saying all week will step into the ring with Minowa:
Looks to be a big guy, should be a tough fight.
Him fighting a great talent/a promotional video
I'd say Minowa is safe for this fight. I still can't believe he beat Soko.
That is an awesome interview! very down to earth and truthful guy. Interesting to hear his personal opinions on cutting weight.
Very excited to watch the Diaz fight :)
- Expect the fight to be announced sometime this week.
You got any predictions on the Diaz fight?
Hopefully its good! :thumb02:

Thursday, May 26
Flyinpig translated interviews:
Imani Lee:
I'm totally ready. I'm looking forward getting in the ring and fighting.
This will be your first time fighting in DREAM. What's your impression of DREAM?
I've known that DREAM is a big promotion since the days I fought K-1 in America. One of my training partners, The Predator, has fought in Japan so I've always wanted to fight here too. My contract with the WWE just expired when I got the offer from DREAM. So I look forward to starting a new career. I'm excited to fight Minowaman. I heard that he is a popular fighter in Japan, so I'm honored to fight him.
Have you ever fought in a cage?
Yeah I have. I fought about a month ago. Unfortunately, I made a mistake and lost. But I'm ready this time.
Do you prefer to fight in the ring or cage?
The ring for sure. I'm still learning how to fight in a cage. But I'm ready.
How long were you signed on with the WWE?
From 2008 until the beginning of this year. A few of my matches were aired on TV.
What was your ring name?
"Pretty Boy" Nelson Roy.
What was your signature move in the WWE?
Do you think you can use the powerslam in MMA?
If I get a chance, I'll try it. If I get the powerslam in, I'm sure the fight will be over right then and there (laughter).
What's your signature move in MMA?
My standup game.
What's your gameplan against Minowaman?
I just got the offer for this fight 3 weeks ago. I had other fights scheduled, so I was prepared to fight. I got some video of Minowaman's fights and have been studying him. My leglock defense is real good. I'm looking to win by strikes.
Here is his Pre-fight: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38Tiu...dw&feature=sub
Your opponent was announced today. What's going through your head right now?
I'm happy to report to everyone that everything is set for me to go fight.
Have you seen Imani Lee fight?
Yes. I watched two MMA fights and one K-1 fight. He's around 135kg but has good footwork and quick punches and kicks. He moves well.
What do you think about fighting in a cage this time?
This will be my fourth time fighting in a cage so I think I'll start remembering what it's like once the fight starts. Even though I've been in a cage, it's my first time in a 6-sided cage. I look forward to getting a grip of the new sensation.
Did you know that he wrestled in the WWE?
I've heard that he's done football, boxing, kickboxing, pro wrestling, and MMA. It sounds like he's a good athlete.
How do you envision finishing him?
I see a few ways. But I'd rather not answer that.
What's the theme for this fight?
Minowaman Chapter 17 "Natural Stance". This time it's in a 6-sided cage. My opponent is big but also has good footwork, so it's something different this time. So my plan is to not forget my style, how I do things. So that's why I'm going with Natural Stance.
How do you feel about your fight being the first match of the night?
I'll fight anywhere on the card, but if the event organizers feel that I should fight the opening match, then I don't mind fighting the first fight. I'll have to set the mood for the rest of the night.
The man known as the "cage demon" Rusher Kimura (pro wrestler) passed away the other day. Being a pro wrestler yourself, how do you feel about stepping into the cage in the same week that Rusher Kimura passed away?
He's the originator of the cage. I've never seen video of him, but when I was a kid I saw some photos. He was absolutely the cage demon, so I want to become a demon and step into the cage.

Yoshiro Maeda
What's going through your head two days before the fight?
I can't wait to fight. I have this nervousness, a good nervousness, waiting for fight day.
This will be your second time fighting in the white cage. Your thoughts?
It's pretty big. I won last time, so I think that the cage is better than the ring for me (laughter).
What's your impression of Osawa?
He's good at everything. He's an well-rounded fighter.
What will be the keys to victory in this fight?
I think distance. Osawa is good at using distance too, so it's going to come down to who can control the distance.
Have you watched video of Osawa's fights?
I've seen about three of his fights. He uses a lot of different kicks and his timing is very good. This fight will be different from my other fights. I think it's going to be a battle of timing.
How well do you think you control distance?
When I'm raging, no, I'm not good at it. But when I keep a cool head, I have confidence (laughter).
What does this fight mean to you?
I think this fight is a must-win for me. I plan on winning decisively.
What parts of your fight game have you improved since last time?
I need to be careful of getting caught up in the moment (laughter). In most of my losses, things are going my way at first. Then I get impatient and rush things. So this time I'll take my time. I'm sure there will be many chances, so I'll look to capitalize on one of them. Stylistically, I think this fight could either end up being really entertaining, or it could be a strange fight.
What's up next for you after this fight?
If I get by this challenge, I hope to fight the winner of one of the other fights.
Nick Diaz:
It's been about two years since you last fought in DREAM. What's going through your mind?
It doesn't seem like it's been two years. I'm disappointed that we're fighting in a cage this time. PRIDE and DREAM have always used the ring. I was excited to fight in Japan, in the ring. I'm used to the cage, so it's alright I guess.
What's your impression of Mach Sakurai?
I've wanted to fight him for the longest time. I wanted to fight someone good in Japan, so Mach is a good choice. There were some times before when we were supposed to fight, but something happened at the last minute, or I wasn't able to come to Japan, and the fight just never happened. So I'm happy that this fight's come together this time.
Do you think that fighting in a cage this time works to your advantage?
Well I have a cage at my house and at my gym. So I'm ready. I have an advantage in a cage for sure. But that doesn't mean that the result will be any different just because it's in a cage.
Since Aoki lost to Melendez, there has been an ongoing debate on whether DREAM should adopt the cage or stick with the ring. What do you think?
I think it's a mistake for DREAM to use the cage. It should stick with the ring and it's own rules. I wish they wouldn't look at what other countries are doing and follow them. Actually, I think the other countries should do what Japan is doing. A lot of the technical stuff you want to do is limited in a cage. If you use a cage, it becomes a sport, and not really MMA. If you want to see who the best MMA fighter is, the fight has to happen in a ring, not a cage. For the last hundred years or more, people have been fighting in a ring, not a cage. I don't understand why you would ignore history and use a cage. I think the DREAM guys are just following American MMA this time and using a cage, but I hope DREAM keeps doing what it had been doing and use it's own rules.
Do you feel that you are here representing the US and Strikeforce?
The media might look at it that way, but whatever. I represent my team and family.
What aspects of your fighting are you working to improve?
I'm working on everything. But I spend a lot of time on my wrestling. I train with Gilbert Melendez and Jake Shields over in Sacramento and San Francisco and I think my power and speed have gotten better. But it's just not wrestling I've been doing. You gotta work on many things.
What do you want to prove to the fans in Japan?
I want to show them that I'm one of the best fighters in the world. I'm different from other guys. I got the best coaches for grappling, throws, jiu jitsu, boxing, everything. I can do everything. I'm a real fighter. I want to show them I'm the best.
Do you think you can beat GSP?
Yeah I do.
Mach has made comments that he may retire, depending on the outcome of this fight.
I got nothing to say if he's going to retire if he doesn't have a good fight.

Celine Haga Interview
From our freinds over at Japan-mma: http://www.japan-mma.com/2010/05/cel...interview.html
-First of, can you tell us a little bit about yourself?
55kg of energy in motion, starting to get close to a purple belt in life experience now, love the feeling of being free and independent of others. I am cursed, or blessed? With an intensity that makes me give
101% to reach the goals I set. :D
-How long have you been doing martial arts, and how did you get into
MMA? How did you end up with fights in Japan?
I have been doing martial arts for 3 years now MMA for a total of 1.5 years. Started MMA because if felt like the ultimate challenge both physically and mentally.
I had no experience earlier, just trained 1 year track and field and a year of strength (that I was forced to because I was so weak my doctor told me I needed to add some muscle).
I won a bit of money playing poker and decided to invest in a Japan trip (the money lasted 2 months). During my stay I got to know Megumi and the rest of AACC. I also fought my first fight (semi-pro) in an
underground event called "Smokers".
-How did you feel during the fight with Mika? What was your tactics
before the fight, and did it go to plan?
The tactics were just to aim and hit her. I knew she was southpaw and good at takedowns, so I wanted to keep to basic boxing. One or two punches and move, to avoid takedowns. If it went to the ground the plan was to work for the best possible position. The plan was to give it everything, fight smart, not stress and have fun.
I knew this was probably the last chance Jewels wanted to give me, they were cool and asked who I wanted to fight, if I could choose. I picked Nagano. I knew I had to win against a good opponent this time
for it to matter.
The plan worked, not a 100%, but good enough. :D
-You had 4 losses before this fight, what had you learnt in the
previous fights that helped you in this one? Did you change something
in your preparation?
I always overestimated my opponents, and underestimated myself and it showed in my performances. I might have been a bit too eager when I went to Japan to have my first pro fight after just 1 year of grappling and 3 months of MMA training. HAHA And tapping breeds tapping, that breeds low confidence
and depressions.
But I continued to prioritize training above everything else. I chose not to give up, continue to train hard but forgot the most important aspect of the sport The mental aspect.
Before this fight I worked harder, focused more on conditioning and self esteem. I was focusing on what I knew and tried to improve that, I got help from Miyatas coach Sean, some wrestling tips from Miyata, loads of
good training at AACC and not least from Roxanne and Kunioku.
A person I respect a lot told me that I have the technique and strength, but I lack self confidence and wasnt fighting with my heart. And the last two things are more important than the former.
-I saw Joachim Hansen in your corner, did he give you some good advice?
I actually had Mohsen (Team Hansen) and Sean Frew in my corner during the fight.
Didnt want any special advice this time, I just wanted positive energy and support. Joachim has given me loads of good advice over the last 3 years that are like tattooed in my brain forever. :D I have had many sparring partners and coaches, but it is first and foremost his style and advice that will be the fundamentals in my game.
-I know you have been training a bit in Japan, how it is to train
there compared to home in Norway? What are the biggest differences?
In Norway I only train with boys that are 15-20kg heavier. Joachim and the others at Team Hellboy have used a lot of time to help me. Sparring with them has made me stronger and given me better balance, and more tolerant to pain. hahaha
In Japan I train with girls. The biggest differences are that girls are a lot more flexible and agile/quick, that increases the stress factor a lot of times.
There are more training opportunities for me in Japan, since there are a lot of girls my size doing MMA/grapping.
-There is not a lot of non-Japanese fighting in Jewels on a regular
basis, you have had 4 fights there. How is it being the only
non-Japanese, do you get extra attention/support?
I think I mix well?? Dont look typically Norwegian hehe
I feel like Japan is my second home! Have lots of good friends here and enjoy it a lot.
I dont receive more attention than the other fighters here. To fight in Japan is pretty special, the biggest have been jetlag, communication (very few speak English) and the culture. But when you settle in, its the martial arts Shangri-la in my opinion.
The support I have received is first and foremost from my friends here and from Team Hellboy (that have always supported me) I am so lucky and grateful for having such good teammates.
-What can we expect from you in the future? If you could choose, who
would be your next opponent?
I am going to continue training, and as always never give up!
This is the point of no return for me, I have finally won the battle inside, and I am ready to give my next opponent hell. My next opponent is anyone, hopefully at 52kg. I am ready!

Another Daniel herbertson interview on mach:
Daniel Herbertson: Welcome back to Japan. How was the flight back?
Hayato Sakurai: The service was disgusting. I got hit by a stewardess. I don't know why but I wasn't treated like a normal customer. I don't know the reason. Do I look weird? Is that why I got hit?
A stewardess hit you?
Actually I got hit by some guy and I got ignored by a stewardess on the flight. I left my bag on a seat and went to the bathroom but someone took my bag. I asked where it was and for security reasons, they took my bag away. They asked me to show them my passport and I don't know why but as they gave my bag back they hit me for no reason. That was the first time I've been hit on a flight.
How was your training camp with Matt Hume in the States? I hope it was more positive.
Everybody was kind of like a dinosaur. It was kind of difficult for me to train with huge guys if I lost too much weight. I was trying not to get killed by the dinosaurs so I decided to lose the weight when I came back to Japan.
You have to train hard there otherwise you will get killed. I think I'm becoming stupid because my brain has been damaged. I forget things a lot and I cant remember things any more.
When this fight was announced you said you were going to retire if you lose. Is it there something special about this fight for you or is it just time?
... What's that?
Old! (laughs) Really though, it's so many things. I don't want to become stupid from being punched too much.
Are you really concerned about it? You have mentioned that a couple times now.
Now, I'm OK in conversations like this but in the future, I don't know if I'll be able to hold conversations any more.
I have always thought about retirement but it's not everything to me. At this age though, I need to think. I've been punching opponents since I was 17. If I can't show my best then I probably need to quit. I've been thinking that for a long time. It's just a decision that I need to make. My cardio is getting worse as I get older and so is my athletic ability. I try my best in training, 100 percent or even 120 percent. but if I can't show 100 percent in the fight then I need to think about retiring. I said that if am going to retire if I lose but I'll probably need to think about it later.
If you win this fight with Diaz and don't retire...
I can win you know!
No, I'm not saying you can't win. If you decide to continue fighting, what would you like to achieve or do you have any goals left in your career?
There is so much I want to do. There are so many things that I can achieve when I'm fighting and so many things I can achieve when I'm retired.
So in your fighting career, what do you want to achieve?
A lot of things.
Will you be staying at welterweight or will you be going back down to lightweight again?
That's a totally different subject!
But you have a lot of history with lightweight fighters. Is there unfinished business there for you?
You're funny! But yeah, I want to do that. If I continue my career I'll go back down in weight. I was defeated by Gomi... but actually he isn't that good any more is he?
Where do you get your motivation to continue fighting?
I don't want to get beaten up by my opponent. I have to try to beat them up before they beat me up.
If you don't fight though, you won't get beaten up. What is your motivation for taking a fight in the first place?
I've never thought about that... (laughs)
Well why did you start fighting when you were young?
I felt like rebelling against society.
What didn't you like? What were you rebelling against?
Well what do you think, could I be a businessman?
Perhaps not...
I just don't like the way things are. I just like to fight, that's it. I just love fighting. I wanted to kick somebody, punch somebody or choke somebody.
When did that start? In school?
I was beaten up by some of the seniors at school so I wanted to do it too. When I did it though it was a huge problem for some reason. Me and Michi (Michihiro Omigawa) went to the same school and he got suspended.
You were friends in school?
Yeah, and Kazuyuki Miyata too. He was in the same grade in the next class but he never came to school because he was at pa*****o (a Japanese form of gambling) all the time. He was in the wrestling club and he would only ever come to school after classes to train wrestling. I never saw him in classes actually.
But anyway, at that age I think I just wanted to explode.
What was it about that school (Tsuchiura Nihon University Secondary School) that made so many top fighters?
Practice was very, very strict. My teachers would beat me to death. The freshman were all beat up by the seniors. There are so many famous fighters from there now. Like (1988 Wrestling Gold Medallist) Takashi Kobayashi.
Where you training with those guys then?
No, I started at Kiguchi Dojo. I didn't know them through fighting then really. Omigawa rented a room near the school and me and Miyata used to hang out there.
You three have all gone your separate ways now. You never train together?
When one of us are in need, we will help the other out.
Just before you went to the UFC you were in a car accident. What was that like?
It was horrible. I had two herniated disks and a broken arm. I was in incredible pain.
What was recovery like? Do you think that it affected your career.
It was really very bad but it was easier to recover when I was younger. Now that I am older the injuries take a lot longer to heal.
Looking back on your career, do you have any favorite fights?
I like them all. They were all fun.
Even the losses? How about the fight with Akihiro Gono on New Year's Eve. What was that like?
I don't like the losses. I deserved that.
Strategy wise he was superior. We couldn't disclose everything, but I was injured. Although, I think he was injured too. I was exhausted going into that fight. My conditioning wasn't there.
Part 2
What was the injury? Was that the cause of your conditioning problems?
Yeah, once I got injured I couldn't recover because I had to keep training for the fight. I just had no time to rest.
So we shouldn't take that fight as an indication of your current abilities then? That performance isn't the reason you are considering retiring?
I was defeated by Gono and I was defeated in the previous fight as well so my motivation was really low. Why are you so concerned with me retiring?
You said that you were going to retire if you lose, I want to know how serious you were with that comment. You are one of the legends of Japanese MMA so I think it is important.
I can continue to be a legend after I finish fighting too. I want to create a new generation of fighters, but I can't do that while I am fighting. I'd need to focus myself 100 percent on it. I am one of the people who made MMA big, but I have started to lose recently so I am losing my motivation
I really haven't decided if I will continue but my performance in this fight will definitely be an indicator for me.
If I can't be there, in great condition in the fight and I can't show my best, then I would rather show nothing at all. I've been at my peak for a long long time so I know my body. I don't want to be ordinary. If I become ordinary, then I don't want to fight.
What are your plans after you finish fighting then? If you are thinking about retirement you are obviously thinking about what you want to do after you finish fighting.
(In English) Anything, I'll be fine. Something fun! Everyday dancing, singing, alcohol!
Do you want to stay within the MMA community?
Yeah. You know in the past, there was no MMA community in Ibaraki. There is Kawajiri now, but when I started my career there was nothing. But I've become huge in this business so I would like to create something here to help grow the sport and develop up and coming MMA fighters.
Is there a problem with Japanese MMA that you think you need to help with?
Of course! Why is Aoki the only good, young fighter in Japan right now? Aoki is the only young fighter who has distinguished himself and the rest are all old guys. Look in America, there are so many young guys. In Japan, it's just Aoki. How many more years can the old fighters carry Japan?
I'm already old and most of the guys are in their 30's already. There is no one in their 20's who is good.
Aside from Aoki, no one impresses you?
There's no one! Who do you think is good?
How about Katsunori Kikuno or Takafumi Otsuka?
Kikuno? How old is he?
Hmm... That's it though! Before, it was the other way around. All the the good fighters used to be young. Now they are all old and no one has replaced them.
There has to be some program or campaign to create new fighters like The Ultimate Fighter for the UFC. There is nothing to develop fighters. The Ultimate Fighter is really a copy of an older Japanese boxing TV show, and we need that again in Japan for MMA otherwise the level difference between Japan and the rest of the world will become even worse. Japan is going to become weaker and weaker.
You are going to try to start something like that?
I do what I can. I have two gyms. I'm hoping to help fighters make it big. Each person has to work within their own abilities. While I am fighting I am restricted with what I can do but it is not just me, everybody has to help develop this sport. I've had a lot of fights
You know, Randy Couture is older than me but I've had a lot more fights. Everyone says Randy Couture is a great fighter there is no way he could reach the amount of fights that I've had. I have a lot of experience.
You seem frustrated by Japanese MMA.
Of course I am! It's hard for me to speak out loud about this but of course I am! What is with these guys who come from other sports and get so much money to fight. Three times as much money as any MMA fighter! If the MMA community has money like that to spend, they should be spending it on young fighters. Too many young MMA fighters cannot spend the time they need to on training because they need to work to support themselves and that takes too much time away from the gym.
If MMA has so much money for those people from other sports they have to spend it on the younger fighters.
For example, you know that girl Ai Fukuhara? The table tennis player? She is really big in the table tennis world. It would be like her going into tennis and getting three times as much money as Maria Sharapova. But then as soon as she gets that money she quits tennis and goes back to table tennis. You know what I mean?
That's what's happening recently. MMA isn't a part time job for other martial artists.
Are you talking about Judo? Like Satoshi Ishii?
Yes. Ishii, I mean what's that!? Even if he is a gold medalist, why do MMA organizations need to spend so much money just on one fighter? Even if he is good or bad, there are so many more young fighters with real passion and talent. We need to grow all fighters from scratch. Ishii isn't at a professional level but his pay is higher than anyone's.
So you think there should be lower pay for the stars of the sport and that the money should be spread more evenly?
No, the problem that I see is that judo and MMA are totally different sports. For example of GSP came to Japan to fight, then of course it is ok to spend that kind of money. But judo is a completely different sport, why are we investing so much money in a different discipline. This is the current situation of Japanese MMA. We will probably have table tennis players in MMA soon!
They get 10 times more money than anyone else and then disappear.
So you don't believe that we can find fighters in other martial arts?
If they are really trying their best to succeed in MMA, then it's OK but I don't see that with Ishii. If all those guys from other martial arts are looking at MMA like it is something that anyone can do, then it really degrades MMA.
How about Hidehiko Yoshida? He was a crossover athlete from judo.
He did his best and had some great fights but Yoshida is leaving MMA and going back to judo now. It is really a shame. We might as well start spending billions and bring in TV stars and actors to fight that even you could beat up.
But doesn't the sport need sponsors and promotion? For that, it needs names and it needs to get people interested. You don't think it's important?
But why are they spending that much money on these other people. That's why Japanese MMA is at this level now. Why can't those famous names be real MMA fighters?
It's a waste of time. It's stupid, I can never hope to get as much money as those people who come in from the outside. If you have that much money, then you have to spread it around to help people make a living in this sport.

Daniel Herbertson Saku interview:
Have you seen any footage of Ralek?
I only watched it once but I intend on watching it more.
What kind of impression do you have towards him?
Sorry, I was watching the footage while I was getting a massage so I didn't really give deep thought to it, but I saw him fighting Shibata and I thought he was a big fighter. His height is about 10 cm taller and his weight, there is a big difference too. Although the agreement is for 88kg, because the weigh-in is one day in advance his weight will go back up and that is something that I need to think about.
What is the point of your match with him?
The point ... well I won't really know until the fight starts.
Is the thing that you are concerned about the most the physical difference?
Well technique wise too but physical difference is something that I am concerned about. I just had an interview earlier and I answered about that if there is a three-kilogram difference then that requires a lot of power and endurance and then I'll lose stamina. It's something that I'm concerned about so I need think about a how to tackle this and to figure out what to do. It's something I need to think about during the fight as well.
He came here right? Isn't he big?
How much do you weight?
So you won't be cutting weight?
No, but I try eating a lot and maybe I'll gain one kilogram or so. But I need to weigh myself tomorrow and see what happens. I think my current condition and my weigh-in day condition would be different. Normally I weight around 85. At the most maybe 87 and I can go as light as 84 or even under sometimes.
How about your opponent being young. Is that a concern?
Not so much.
Last year in October was your last fight. How is your condition since then.
It's normal, I haven't had any big injuries since then. I had minor things but no major injuries so it's normal.
Your opponent is from the Gracie family. How do you feel about this?
I don't really feel anything in particular.
I have a question actually if you don't mind. Are Apple computers good because I see two right in front of me. Is that because they are good?
Well, I think so. I use Apple too.
Who uses Apple? Whoa! About half of you! That really makes me debate whether I should buy Apple or Windows. Who uses Windows? How about the analog handwriting people? Who doesn't use any PC and hand-writes their memos? Nobody ...
OK, thank you very much for that input.

Dream 14:
Mach interview translated by flyinpig
----- Can you give us your thoughts on the fight?
Well, since I fought Aoki, it seems that luck hasn't been on my side. It's terrible. I know that when things aren't your way, nothing seems to go your way. I guess that's how it goes.
----- You got caught in an armbar along the fence. Can you take us through what happened there?
My usual way to get out of it is to spin out of it. But I couldn't because I got caught up in the fence. The difficulty of the gage really became apparent. The gage is...(sigh)...yeah I underestimated it. I shouldn't have fought him on his turf (the cage). This ain't the UFC.
----- It looked like a fight you could have won. Did you feel that you could have won?
No matter how you look at it, I was getting in punches and kicks...punches actually. I was able to pressure him enough to a point where he couldn't get his usual punches off. But the difficulties of a fight came out there and that's how it goes. That's where I needed to win it. I somewhat underestimated it. The gage and the ring are totally different. (sigh) The gage is...I am used to fighting in the ring. I haven't fought in the gage since the Matt Hughes fight. He (Diaz) is a different type of fighter compared to Matt Hughes and it was difficult. But he may have been to armbar me even if it wasn't in the gage. Just like New Year's Eve. Was it New Year's Eve? Losing without taking one hit to the face is frustrating. (sigh) I'm not physically tired, but mentally tired.
----- After the fight, you went over to the referee. Were you protesting something?
No, I wasn't protesting anything. I was apologizing (laughter). Saying sorry. The momentum and flow were going my way and I messed up. He was the closest Japanese person to me.
----- Would you want to fight in the cage again?
The gage? Never again. (laughter) It's boring. I don't want to try new challenges at this point. The ring is more exciting. You can move around more. For me. You're walled in the gage, so it makes it difficult to move around like you can in a cage. Not only in my fight, but you also saw in the other fights how it becomes a stalemate alongside the fence. That's a waste of time. It becomes another way to fight I guess and that would be something new and..(sigh)...I'm really not good anymore.
----- Before the fight, you mentioned retirement. Can we say that you have retired from fighting in the cage, but will continue to fight in the ring?
Hahaha! No one knows what the future holds. I think I just have bad luck right now. Well I say luck, but you could say it's my ability. I thought that was a fight I could've won today, but then it turns out like that. I'm upset at myself. I not sure I can beat anyone anymore.

From Shiroobi
Daniel Herbertson report from Shooto:
TOKYO, Japan -- Despite DREAM's strong featherweight showings this weekend, the best action in that division was to be found in Shooto at JCB Hall. In one of the best fights of the year, Hatsu Hioki captured "Lion" Takeshi Inoue's 143lb Shooto World Title after three rounds of back and forth striking action.
Nagoya's Hatsu Hioki is arguably one of the most talented ground fighters in all of mixed martial arts but has often been the victim of terrible game planning, ignoring his ground acumen and instead electing to stand and trade instead. A dangerous striker like the defending 143lb world champion "Lion" Takeshi looked like a dangerous matchup for Hioki as Lion's power can easily put an end to anybody's night.
Lion came at Hioki right from the opening bell, rushing in with punches and attempting to end Hioki's night early. Hioki stayed in the pocket though and slipped Lion's looping fists to land counters which rocked the defending champion. Lion recovered quickly and traded punches and kicks in the center of the ring but found himself having problems getting past Hioki's parries and range.
In the second, Lion started to find his mark with the jab, drawing blood from Hioki's nose and reddening his eyes. Hioki's combinations with his hands, lengthy kicks and knees from the clinch kept Lion busy but it was Hioki's jab that had the champion truly on the back foot.
Finally in the third round, Hioki attempted with earnest to take the fight to the mat but lacked the power in his shot after two solid rounds of standup action. Abandoning his attempt to bring the fight into his own domain, Hioki tried to re-establish his jab but Lion found his mark with this right and backed up the challenger. In the final minutes, desperation filled the arena with a divided crowd sensing that the title may be up for grabs depending on what happens from here. Standing in the center of the ring, both fighters stood toe-to-toe throwing combination after combination to the face and body, attempting to bring each other down. At the end of the bout, Lion's nose and mouth finally started to show signs of the war, but with his performance in the final round it was not clear who the judges were going to side with.
The judges were split, one for the champion and two for the challenger, fulfilling Hioki's career goal of capturing a Shooto World Title and indicating that perhaps his standup game has finally caught up to his talent on the canvas.
Willamy "Chiquerim" Freire took exactly five minutes to dispatch Yusuke Endo in their first outing but the rematch was much closer. Defending his Shooto 154lb title, Freire and Endo both had trouble establishing their dominance in the first round, struggling to get through each other's defense. After being docked a point for a low blow in the second, Freire dropped Endo with a right causing Endo to fall to the canvas and turtle to avoid a barrage of blows. Endo was in trouble of being stopped but was ultimately saved by the bell and due to the point deduction, drew the round.
The third was to be the deciding round and Endo gave up a dominant position early after missing with a single and instead getting taken down himself. Freire maintained his control on top and hammered away at the challenger's head for the rest of the bout and easily winning the round.
Despite the strong finish, one judge didn't it see that way and Friere was awarded a split decision to retain the belt. Post fight, Freire returned his title informing the audience that he has signed an exclusive promotion with a major promotion, stopping him from being able to defend his Shooto 154lb title.
Ryuichi Miki held a 0-1-1 record against Yasuhiro Urushitani and going into this 123lb title fight hoped to even the score with the counter striker. It was not to be though, over the course of three rounds Urushitani was able to consistently land the better punches and counter Miki whenever he would over commit in desperation. It was a comfortable win for the new champion who took the strap which was vacant after Shinichi "BJ" Kojima returned the title in March, but a long time in the making. Due to his passive-aggressive countering style, Urushitani has racked up an astonishing six draws which has halted his progression in the division and led to some difficult matchmaking situations for promoters.
"The Shooto Junkie" Ryota Matsune had been retired since 2006 due to recurring knee injuries but his return to action was spoiled in brutal fashion by Joe Silva favorite Rumina Sato. Through the first round Matsune was attempting to shake out the cobwebs of inactivity, working his boxing but unable to keep to get into his rhythm due to the threat of Sato's knees from inside. Early in the second stanza, a knee from Sato found the mark and laid out Matsune and Sato dived in with punches to bring about the referee stoppage at only 21 seconds of the second round.
Masakatsu Ueda returned to form after a shockingly losing his 132lb title to Shuichiro Katsumura in March. Ueda showed off his new found striking ability in his decision win against former 143lb champ and WEC veteran Akitoshi Tamura.
Eduardo Dantas confirmed his status as a top prospect at 132lb with a third round submission over Hiromasa Ogikubo. Dantas was looking dangerous to then champion, Masakatus Ueda in his last venture to Japan in July 2009 but his inability to play to Shooto's rules cost him points and ultimately the decision. Dantas was in danger of suffering the same fate against Ogikubo, grabbing the ropes, hitting the back of the head and landing a low blow which had the referee close to calling the fight a DQ. He managed to play fair long enough to survive and a secure a rear naked choke in the third round however. The 21 year old is sure to have a bright future if he can tame his aggressive game to work within the confines of the rules.
Matches for July 16th's "Way of Shooto 4" were announced, Shooto 115lb World Champion Rambaa "M-16" Somdet will make his first title defense against Hiroyuki Abe, Taiki Tsuchiya will face one of Japan's top prospects in Issei Tamura and Kenichiro Togashi will also be on the card.

They shipped the next day after I ordered on-line. It was delivered in 3 days.
A little SLS goes a long way. I used it on some liquid lecithin and it did help to emulsify the globs that were floating on the top of 5 gallons.
I added 20 ml / 5 gallons of stock solution, mixed, and sealed the plastic gas jug.
As with all chemicals use with caution.

wrong intake manifold gaskets?
hey everyone,after pulling my intake manifold on my 87 caprice 5.7L/350,i found the intake gaskets are for a tbi.my car is carbureted could this cause overheating since back ports are blocked off.the correct gaskets are open for carbed motor.plus i think i was sold a reverse flow water pump which caused my overheating problem.any thoughts on this issue?
The reverse flow Pump will definitely cause a problem if your car's Pump doesn't run a Serp belt. I don't think the blocked ports will as some intakes don't have flow thru the Intake at the rear. Did the rear of your Manifold have open ports or just the gasket had open holes? Many are that way so they fit either side.
the reason i ask is all the gskets for my motor have open rear ports,even my edelbrock performer has open rear ports.i agree with the water pump i have a new one ordered.
i quess no one knows what i'am talking about?
The SBC intake gaskets have water holes in both ends so that they are interchangeable and can be used on either side of the engine. There are no rear water ports in stock OEM intakes, it is only aftermarket performance intakes that have water ports in the rear, for the guys who want to modify their engines for four corner water return.
It would have nothing to do with your overheating problem.
not true,the gasket for my car has the rear ports open.gaskets for tbi are closed.look it up,i have a 5.7L/350 CARBURETED MOTOR.TBI IS DIFFERENT GASKET.LOOK IT UP!!!the 87 roller motor is different,believe me,you guys are being stuburn.get off your high horse and look into this!!!
The "traditional" intake gaskets have holes front and rear- this is only so one gasket needed- one gasket will fit both sides of the engine.
ok than what is that rear passage for.i don't understand,i need to be educated.
There is no passage in the rear of the intake, as I mentioned before. The front passage is what is used. The gasket is similar to the heads- one gasket (like one head) will fit EITHER side of the engine.
On my 350, a previous owner had run a hose from the back of the manifold to the opposite cylinder head - I wondered what that was about. I guess it was someone trying to put a waterway where there isnt one, for what purpose Im unsure.
My Weiand inlet manifold has no waterways in the rear of it- so I presume it isnt important to running temperature.
This isn't necessary on most street-bound engines.
i pulled the gaskets from my 89 caprice classic and only one of the ports on the back of the old gaskets were closed and my new gaskets both of the back ports are closed will this still work or do i have to go buy new gaskets again
i have a 89 caprice v8 305 fuel injected
Fel-Pro - Intake Manifold Gasket Set Part Number: MS93317
Ok thats the exact set that i have the reason im asking is because the set out of my car has one of the back ports open and one closed but ill put the new set in n see wat happens thanks
If your heater circuit comes off the front of the intake where the return collector is, then a gasket that blocks the rear returns would not be a problem.

Rectangle PQRS has X and Y on the edges. Triangles PQY, YRX and XSP
have equal areas. Prove X and Y divide the sides of PQRS in the
golden ratio.
If xyz = 1 and x+y+z =1/x + 1/y + 1/z show that at least one of
these numbers must be 1. Now for the complexity! When are the other
numbers real and when are they complex?
Two cubes, each with integral side lengths, have a combined volume equal to the total of the lengths of their edges. How big are the cubes? [If you find a result by 'trial and error' you'll need to prove you have found all possible solutions.]
There are a few points worth thinking about when you tackle a
problem like this:
Jacqui Eaves made a good attempt at this problem and Andrei
Lazanu's work forms the basis of the solution below, well done
The solution
First I calculated the angle between two sides of the
I used the formula for the sum of angles of a regular polygon, with
n sides, that is:
For the pentagon, I obtained: $${180^{\circ}(n - 2)} =
{180^{\circ}(5 - 2)} = {180^{\circ}\times 3} = {540^{\circ}}$$
Therefore the angle in each vertex is ${540^{\circ}\over5} =
{108^{\circ}}$ $${\angle EAB}\equiv{\angle ABC}\equiv{\angle
BCD}\equiv{\angle CDE}\equiv{\angle DEA} = {108^{\circ}}$$
Triangles CDE, DCB and AEB are isosceles (sides of pentagon are
one unit) $${\angle DEC}\equiv{\angle DCE}\equiv{\angle BDC}\equiv
{\angle CBD}\equiv{\angle AEB}\equiv{\angle ABE} = {{180^{\circ} -
108^{\circ}}\over2} = {72^{\circ}\over2} = {36^{\circ}}$$
Then I calculated other sets of equal angles: $${\angle
DFC}\equiv{\angle EFB}= {180^{\circ} - 2\times 36^{\circ}} =
{108^{\circ}}$$ $${\angle EFD}\equiv{\angle BFC}= {{360^{\circ} -
2\times 108^{\circ}}\over2} = {{360^{\circ} - 216^{\circ}}\over2}
={144^{\circ}\over2}= {72^{\circ}}$$ $${\angle EDF}\equiv{\angle
BCF}= { 180^{\circ} - 36^{\circ} - 72^{\circ}} = { 72^{\circ}}$$
$${\angle BEF}\equiv{\angle EBF}= {{180^{\circ} -
108^{\circ}}\over2} = {72^{\circ}\over2} = {36^{\circ}}$$
Here are all the measures of the angles that I obtained:
Triangles EFB and DFC are both isosceles, their corresponding
angles are equal
I used the following notation:
Using the relationship obtained using the similarity of the
triangles, I obtain: $${x\over1} = {1\over{r}}$$
I know that r = x + 1 because triangle BED is also
x and r are the solutions of the following system of two equations:
$${x\over1} = {1\over{r}}$$ $${x + 1} = {r}$$
I calculate the two numbers, x and r , substituting r from the
second equation into the first. I obtain an equation of the form:
$ax^2 + bx + c = 0$ Which has the solutions: $${x_1,x_2
Solving the equation obtained for x, I obtain successively:
$${x(x+1)} = {1}$$ $${x^2 + x} = {1}$$ $${x^2 + x - 1} = {0}$$ $${a
= 1}, {b = 1} , {c = -1}$$ $${x_1} = {-1 + {\sqrt{1+4}}\over2} =
{{-1 + \sqrt5}\over2} = {{ 1\over{2}} (\sqrt{5} - 1)}$$ $${x_2} =
The last solution is not a solution for the problem, because x
cannot be negative, but the first one is. So I proved that $${x } =
{{ 1\over{2}} (\sqrt{5} - 1)}$$
Now I calculate r, that is x + 1. $${r} = {x + 1} = {{{\sqrt{5}
- 1}\over2} + 1} = { {\sqrt{5} + 1}\over2}$$So the length of the
chord EB of the pentagon is equal to the golden ratio $(\sqrt 5 +
In conclusion: $${x } = {{ 1\over{2}} (\sqrt{5} - 1)}.$$ The
ratio BF : FD is equal to $1/x$ so this ratio is $${2\over {\sqrt 5
-1}} ={ 2({\sqrt 5 + 1}) \over (\sqrt 5 - 1)( \sqrt 5 + 1)}= {\sqrt
5 + 1 \over 2}.$$ So F divides the chord BD in the golden

I jumped at the chance to sit up front as soon as he asked for a volunteer so got a very comfy ride around the studio lot. As we were all getting to know each other however a car pulled up and tried to park in the space behind us. ...

The campus, which will award Texas A&M degrees, will be called Texas A&M University at Nazareth - Peace Campus, and will aim to educate Christians, Jews and Muslims together. Israeli officials have been pushing to expand higher education opportunities for Arabs in Israel, and are backing the plan by pledging to seek an exemption to Israeli regulations that would normally prohibit the creation of a branch campus by a foreign institution.

U.S. Chamber urges California Supreme Court to uphold individual arbitration agreement
In its brief, NCLC urged the California Supreme Court to affirm the judgment of the Court of Appeals, which held that the Federal Arbitration Agreement ("FAA") requires the plaintiff-employee to resolve his disputes through individual arbitration in accordance with the terms of his agreement. NCLC argued that the plaintiff's claims fail for four reasons. First, after the Supreme Court's decision in AT&T Mobility v. Concepcion, the California Supreme Court's prior decision in Gentry v. Superior Court cannot stand. The Gentry decision authorized a court to refuse to enforce an arbitration agreement whenever the court determined, as a matter of state public policy, that class procedures - rather than individual arbitration-are a more desirable means of resolving an employment dispute. NCLC argued that the Gentry holding flatly violates the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA") in light of Concepcion's determination that enforcement of an agreement to arbitrate cannot be conditioned on the availability of class procedures no matter how desirable they might be for unrelated reasons.
Second, NCLC pointed out that the FAA likewise forecloses the plaintiff's contention that he is entitled to proceed in court with representative claims under the Private Attorney General Act ("PAGA") because his arbitration agreement permits him to bring only individual claims in arbitration. NCLC argued that the FAA forbids California from placing PAGA's private cause of action off-limits to arbitration and that the state may not refuse to enforce the plaintiff's arbitration agreement on the ground that the agreement prohibits him from pursuing alleged labor code violations involving other employees.
Third, NCLC argued that the plaintiff is wrong in asserting that the federal National Labor Relations Act ("NLRA") as recently interpreted by the NLRB in the D.R. Horton case precludes enforcement of his arbitration agreement. NCLC argued that the NLRA does not contain the clear, "contrary congressional command" needed to override the FAA's mandate to enforce as written agreements to arbitrate on an individual basis.
Fourth, the defendant company did not waive its right to compel the plaintiff to arbitrate his dispute. NCLC pointed out that under long-standing U.S. Supreme Court and California Supreme Court precedent, the plaintiff cannot meet the necessary "heavy burden of proof" a party seeking to establish a waiver must meet.
Andrew Pincus, Archis A. Parasharami, Scott M. Noveck, and Donald M. Falk of Mayer Brown LLP represented the U.S. Chamber as co-counsel to the National Chamber Litigation Center.
The Court held that the FAA does not preempt a state law that prohibits waiver of PAGA representative actions in an employment contract, therefore the PAGA does not violate the principle of separation of powers under the California Constitution.
Decided 6/23/2014.
Consolidated Answer to Amicus Briefs filed by plaintiff 7/15/13.
U.S. Chamber amicus brief filed 5/13/13.

No Corn in Corned Beef
Although the rock salt used to cure the beef looked like corn, that's not how corned beef got its name. The form of curing beef using salt is called corning and that is how Corned Beef was born. Interestingly, Corned Beef & Cabbage is derived from the Irish dish of Bacon and Cabbage, and along the storied way it's become an American favorite that we've all come to associate with St. Patrick's Day!
Grilling Tips for Certified Angus Beef
Grilling is easy, just remember:
Start with a hot grill. Searing beef helps lock in delicious juices.
Turn steaks gently with tongs or a spatula; never pierce with a fork.
Ensure juiciness by flipping steaks only once.

Now that Sony is rolling out the Jelly Bean update for the Xperia P, go and E dual, it has officially confirmed that owners of the S, SL, acro S and ion will start receiving their own update from the end of May, which means there's at least a month to go until those notifications start popping up, but it's better to be informed of it rather than to be completely unaware of if and when an update will be coming, right?
If's not clear yet exactly what new features the software update will bring, but judging by what the Xperia P, go and E dual are getting, it's safe to say that the package will include the core Android 4.1 features, enhanced Walkman, Album and Movies apps, Battery Stamina Mode, an updated homescreen and more.
Are there any of our readers who happen to be rocking any of these beautiful smartphones?
