HOOPS REPORT: Playing for Southeastern Conference Pride
Tennessee travels to Washington, D.C., to visit Georgetown at the Verizon Center Friday in the Vols' first true road game of the season (6:30 p.m. ET, ESPN). The contest doubles as an opportunity to play for Southeastern Conference bragging rights, as the game is part of the annual SEC/Big East Challenge.
Tennessee is 2-1 in the five-year history of the event -- initially known as the SEC/Big East Invitational. The Vols lost at home to Pitt last season after beating third-ranked Pitt two years ago in Pittsburgh, Pa. UT's only other previous appearance in the event resulted in an 80-68 win over 24th-ranked Marquette in Nashville, Tenn., in 2008 (UT was not in the event in 2007 or 2009).
"Anytime you have a chance to represent your league in events like this there is an amount of pride that comes with it," UT head coach Cuonzo Martin said. "The SEC is known for excellence across the board in all sports, so we obviously want to do our part to uphold the SEC's reputation for great basketball. Facing an elite program like Georgetown in their home gym is a challenge we look forward to."
Tennessee point guard Trae Golden agreed that conference pride is a factor for Friday's game.
"We want to show that the SEC is one of the best leagues in the country," Golden said. "So we take pride in games like this. It will be a great atmosphere. Georgetown has a historic program, and we expect a great game."
Since the 2007-08 campaign, Tennessee owns a 7-3 record against current members of the Big East Conference. In addition to the two aforementioned victories, those seven triumphs also include wins over Georgetown, DePaul, Villanova and defending national champion UConn last season. Tennessee also defeated West Virginia on a neutral floor in November 2007 before the Mountaineers left the Big East to join the Big XII Conference.
The Big East enters this year's challenge leading 16-12 over the past five seasons.
Tennessee has been confirmed as one eight teams in the field for the 2013 Battle 4 Atlantis, which takes place annually at the Atlantis Royal Towers Resort on Paradise Island, Bahamas.
Seven of the eight teams in next year's field were announced Saturday. Joining the Volunteers in the 2013 field are Kansas, Villanova, Wake Forest, Southern California, UTEP and Xavier. The eighth team will be announced at a later date.
The Battle 4 Atlantis tournament started in 2011. The games are played in the Imperial Arena, a grand ballroom which is turned into a basketball venue.
Tennessee's looming appearance in the Bahamas continues a stretch of trips to exotic destinations. In just the last three years, the Vols have traveled to the U.S. Virgin Islands, Los Angeles, Maui, Italy and Puerto Rico.
Wednesday's "Emphasis of the Day" - Wednesday's "Emphasis of the Day" - daily midcourt talking points spearheaded by head coach Cuonzo Martin prior to each practice - focused on energy.
Life is all about energy. Think about the people who increase your energy and those who drain your energy.

We use them to prevent unnecessary healthcare providers' visits, help control symptoms, and make kids more comfortable. But the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) warns that this doesn't mean OTCs are harmless. Like prescription medicines, OTCs can be very dangerous to a child if not taken correctly. Parents need to read and understand all instructions before giving any medication to a child.Understand the labelGenerally, medicines are safe when used as directed. But pay attention to those words "use as directed." These are serious medicines, so you must read, understand, and follow the instructions on the label. Also, you need to check with your healthcare provider when in doubt about treating your child.Don't give any OTC medicines to children younger than 2 years old unless you've already discussed it with your healthcare provider. The FDA and the AAP advise against giving over-the-counter cough and cold medicines to infants and small children because of the risk of life-threatening side effects. Studies have shown cough and cold products may not help the symptoms of children under 6 years old, and may cause serious problems.When's the best time to seek advice about the right way to treat your child's headache or fever? Ask your healthcare provider during routine visits, or read information from reputable sources. Many healthcare providers can suggest or provide material.The ABCs of OTCsHere are tips on OTC medicines from the AAP and FDA:Don't guess about your children's dose based on their size. Read the label.Know the difference between TBSP (tablespoon, approximately 15 ml) and TSP (teaspoon, approximately 5 ml). They're very different. Use a measuring spoon or dosing cup. Do not use eating utensils.Be careful about converting dose instructions. If the label says 2 teaspoons, use a measuring spoon or dosing cup marked in teaspoons.Don't play healthcare provider. Don't double the dose just because your child seems sicker than last time.Before you give your child 2 medicines at the same time, talk to your healthcare provider or pharmacist.Acetaminophen and aspirin can be especially dangerous for children. Always ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist if it is safe for your child and what dose to give. Follow any age and weight limits on the label.Never let children take medicines by themselves.Never describe medicine as candy so kids will take it. If they come across the medicine on their own, they're likely to think of it as candy.Always give medicine in good light. Darkness increases the risk of giving the wrong medicine or dosage.Read the label before opening the bottle, after removing a dose, and again before giving the dose.Always use child-resistant caps. Lock medicine away from children.Always check medicine packages for signs of tampering. Health Encyclopedia A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Search Health Library

Epoxy/caulk to smoothen corner where bathtub stick out from tiles 3/8"
1 Attachment(s)
I had misjudged the tile+thinset thickness in my bathroom and framed the tub recessed box so that the tub sticks out by about 1-1/4" from the studs. After the cement board, that is about 3/4". However, the tile I ended up choosing is glass mosaic, which is only about 1/4" thick and, because it is mosaic, it requires very little thinset to be nice and uniformly flat. That leaves me about 3/8" of tub protruding out from the tile level.
I had a meeting with my tile guys this morning and they said it wouldn't look good (as you can see the black side of the tub that is supposed to be inside the recessed box) and I agree. What they suggested is putting another cement board over it and another piece of greenboard above. The problem is, the cement board and green board are 1/2", slightly more than the 3/8" that I have, plus the other side of the tub protrudes even less than 3/8". So what I was thinking was to use some sort of epoxy/caulk to fill in the corned to make it somewhat more graceful of a transition. It still wouldn't look perfect but oh well. I would like the epoxy/caulk to be something that becomes hard as a rock (or tile) when it hardens and comes in different colors.
My question is: which epoxy/caulk should I use. Please see the illustration.
I know this isn't the answer you're looking for, but if it was me, I would probably just cut a piece of shoe molding to fit your 3/8" offset and paint it whatever color you want.
You can get some of the composite board that is 3/8" maybe even 1/4" thick. Not knowing if you are tiling over the green board too, if you are, and it is just a flat wall section, the same thin material could go over the green board.
I am really looking for some kind of super hard epoxy
In that case pretty much any epoxy you choose is going to be super hard. I haven't used any for a long time but from what I recall most, if not all of them, are paintable so I wouldn't over think it.
Have you tile the wall yet?
If not then the board needs to come down and shim the studs out to do it right.
That areas going to move slightly and crack anything hard you try to apply.
I think I would have that wall you have there come out a full tile beyond the tub, but its hard to tell what you are working with there. A photo would be nice.
As many pictures as I've seen on this and any DIY site where the wall and floor are now all shot becuse of not having the tiles come out far enough and the ones I've seen in person I totaly agree.
I agree with Joe and Jagans. If you are planning to keep this bathroom for a long time, take the time and fix it or you'll be fixing that "caulk" for a long time on a regular basis.
I figured that idea wouldn't fly Joe, jagans, guess I should have said it, but thanks for doing it.
I bet if I put a fat bead of Quad window sealant, it would look alright

I've seen the Airoha site regarding this chip (http://www.airoha.com.tw/AR1000.htm) and it seems that this IC doesn't support RDS. It's possible to have the same board with AR1200/AR1210 ICs??
I suppose that the antenna could be created on a PCB: are there any ideas about the geometry & dimensions??
Thanks a lot,
No public wish lists :(

+1 on Marschal grips. I have a set (also Bubinga) for my Bersa 380CC and just got one for my Makarov (in Wattle) as well. He does great work!
This is a discussion on New Grips for Makarov within the Related Gear & Equipment forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Hello. Ever since seeing the magic worked by Mr. Craig Spegel and Mr. Hakan Pek on their handgun stocks, I've sort of kept my eyes ...
Hello. Ever since seeing the magic worked by Mr. Craig Spegel and Mr. Hakan Pek on their handgun stocks, I've sort of kept my eyes open for new handgun grip makers.
I noticed a fellow named "Erich" on several boards with some really nice looking grips on a Makarov. It turns out that they were from Hungarian-made from a place called Marchalgrips, which appears to be run by Denes and Gustav Marschalko.
Eventually (between ammunition/reloading orders), I ordered a set for my Russian IJ-70 Makarov. These were made from checkered Bubinga wood (backstrap checkered as an option, too) and finished with the "red" stain. Total cost, including shipping was $50.00. (You can get Makarov grips for $40 in other woods; the Bubinga wood added $10.00 to the price.)
The grips slide on and off exactly like the tough plastic factory stocks.
From the bottom, it is not difficult to see that these stocks fit very snugly and evenly.
Here we can see the side of the stocks as well as the checkered rear.
I am extremely pleased with the fit, feel and finish on these grips.
For those who might be interested, the standard factory Makarov grips are thinner but not by much.
On the left we see the tough, brown plastic factory grips. These measured 1.10" across. This set of Marschalko grips measured 1.31" across at their widest point.
A grip's comfort is subjective. To me, the Marschalko grips with their palm swell are considerably more comfortable than the factory grips, which I have never found unsatisfactory. I was surprised at how much I like the checkered rear. (I guess it shouldn't have been much of a surprise as I like checkered mainspring housings on my 1911-pattern pistols.)
If you opt to order, the on-line order form will let you easily order for the E. German, Russian or Bulgarian Makarov. This differentiation is not because of different frame dimensions but because of the different diameter screw heads used in the EG guns as compared to the Bulgarian and Russian ones. The grip screw hole diameter is determined by the country of your Makarov's origin.
On the left we see the appropriate factory grip screw for the Russian/Bulgarian guns. The one on the right is for the EG. The threads are the same, however.
My grips were ordered for the Bulgarian/Russian Makarov grip screw. Fits both my Bulgarian and Russian guns just fine. By using an E. German grip screw, the grips fit perfectly on my E. German gun, too. Thus, if a fellow wants to change out grips between an E. German Makarov and say an IJ-70 or a Bulgarian, he can do so by changing to the appropriate grip screw.
As this is written, Makarov grip screws can be found here:
makarov parts | makarov barrel press | grip screws | magazine loader |
I don't know how long these will last but the $5.00 price is not bad if one wants to buy one of each type grip screw.
Here are the same stocks on an E. German Mak but using the Russian grip screw. (It doesn't turn too deeply into the magazine well. Works just fine.)
I am very favorably impressed. In fact, I just paid for a couple more Makarov grips from Mr. Marschalko.
This company makes grips for several handgun makes at different price levels. They also allow for very easy checking of your order's status on-line.
I am in no way associated with this company, but definitely am a satisfied customer.
If you are interested in their products, take a gander here:
Best and good shooting.

Very nice grips for an underrated gun.
Very nice grips on your Mak Steven. As usual Grips by Dennis Marschalko are not only great looking and well made but a very good value too. I have Dennis's grips on several of my handguns, including a Hi Power, CZ82, CZ52, and my Makarov. I am waiting on a set I ordered for my CZ RAMI. All are outstanding and really add a classy look to your pistol.
I have spent a good bit of time on your Hi Power site and enjoy your writing and insight on JMB's wonderful Hi Power.
Here are a few photos of his work on my handguns
When I leave the home port:
S&W 642 Airweight, Ruger SP 101, Colt Detective Spec., CZ RAMI, Kahr PM9, Kahr CW40, S&W Model 10-7, Glock 30, 19, and 26, Browning Hi Power, CZ82, Colt Commander, Dan Wesson PM7, Ruger LCP
There's just something about the marriage of steel and wood that a plastic gun can never match.

Thanks, Stephen, for another well-written, informative, and useful review. It's always a pleasure to read one of your reviews. The only downer is that it usually means I have to spend some more money. My Bulgarian Mak is now crying our for new grips.

Beautiful stocks....I may need to invest in a set for one of my Maks.
Thanks for the review SAC.

Essay: Facebook and Obama Lovefest no Different than Campaign Commercial
"Mr. President, how do you stay so awesome?"
No, no one really asked that at the Obama Facebook Townhall but they may as well have. All the questions were in Obama's wheelhouse, played to his strengths and gave him the opportunity to give long, long answers that often were only marginally connected to the question.
Right off the bat, the president and Mark Zuckerberg, the billionaire CEO and founder of Facebook, agree they should be paying more in taxes. I guess no one had told them they can do just that! No one is stopping them from writing a check for double or triple the amount of tax they owe. It's disingenuous for two extremely rich people to agree amongst themselves that people who make a fraction of what they make should also pay more in taxes. If there really exists this wide swatch of rich people who just can't wait to pay more in taxes, why doesn't the president appeal to them to do just that while he works on reversing the Bush tax cuts? Wouldn't that make sense?
Obama then said that going back to Clinton-level tax rates would make the economy boom again and "would go a long way to reducing our spending." If Bush said this we'd have a slew of journalists pointing out that raising taxes actually has nothing to do with reducing spending - they each exist in their own separate universes.
Because it's Barack Obama, though, if anyone even mentions this line we'll be told he misspoke and actually meant "a long way to reducing our debt," which would also be false. We'll also have to overlook the idea that a tax hike could ever make the economy boom.
In giving his answer about the DREAM act, Obama says that sometimes immigration is done by quotas (bad) but then says that we should keep the PhDs, MDs and other highly skilled workers here (good). He admits that illegal immigrants broke the law and should take responsibility by paying a fine, learning English and getting a pathway to getting citizenship. That'll show 'em! He said we should make the border secure "so folks aren't wandering through the desert to get here."
Again, a non-sequitur. People will always want to get into America and there is no way to make the border completely secure. The only way to discourage illegal immigration is to stop rewarding people who break the law to be here.
Someone asked a question about whether Paul Ryan's bill was more "bold" than Obama's. This is where Obama got truly nasty and accused Ryan's plan on solving problems on "the backs of people who are poor, don't have lobbyists."
No questions on Libya, the Middle East or foreign policy in general.
Gas prices were touched on at the very end when Obama joked about the president having lots of cars (Obama and joking is always bad news) and admitted that maybe not everyone could just go out and buy a fuel efficient car like he had suggested at a previous Townhall.
Overall, no different than a campaign commercial.

For Immediate Release
Governor Hassan Announces More Than 9,300 Approved Applications for the New Hampshire Health Protection Program
Governor Also Proclaims New Hampshire Community Health Center Week During Visit to Lamprey Health Care in Nashua
CONCORD – Leading up to the beginning of health care coverage under the New Hampshire Health Protection Program (NHHPP) on August 15, Governor Maggie Hassan announced today that 9,399 applications for the New Hampshire Health Protection Program have been approved as of Friday evening, August 8.
"In just over a month of open enrollment for the New Hampshire Health Protection Plan, more than 9,300 Granite Staters have signed up for affordable, quality health care," Governor Maggie Hassan said. "Thanks to our bipartisan health care expansion plan, thousands of Granite Staters have access to this important protection, which will strengthen the health and economic well-being of New Hampshire families, businesses and communities. When coverage begins on Friday, these people will finally have the comfort and security of affordable health coverage that they deserve, and we are excited for thousands more to apply in the coming months."
Earlier in the day, Governor Hassan visited Lamprey Health Care in Nashua, where she proclaimed New Hampshire Community Health Center Week. Community health centers such as the Lamprey Health Care facility in Nashua provide primary and preventive care to New Hampshire's medically underserved populations.
"Community health centers across our state have always worked to expand the reach of primary and preventive care, especially to medically underserved populations," Governor Hassan said. "With expansion, they will continue to play a critical role in ensuring that Granite Staters receive the care that they need and deserve and they are also playing an important role in our outreach efforts to help people learn about and apply for health care coverage. I am honored to proclaim Community Health Center Week in New Hampshire to recognize their important contributions to the health and well-being of our people."
Made possible by the bipartisan law that the Governor signed in March, the NHHPP expands access to health coverage to as many as 50,000 hard-working Granite Staters, including preventive care such as check-ups, emergency care due to accidents, and mental health counseling and substance abuse treatment. The expanded access to health care will improve health outcomes for low-income residents and reduce the level of uncompensated care that shifts costs onto all of New Hampshire's businesses and people.
On July 28, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) approved the rates and benefits structure for both the current Medicaid population and the newly expanded population under the NHHPP.
"We still have a lot of hard work left to do in order to maximize the benefits of health care expansion for our people and our economy," said Governor Hassan. "But the early success of the application process is exciting, and I thank all of the legislators from both parties who worked together to make the New Hampshire Health Protection Plan a reality, as well as Commissioner Toumpas, Commissioner Sevigny and the hard-working employees at the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Insurance for their diligence to meet our aggressive timelines."
New Hampshire Health Protection Insurance coverage will start on August 15. Applications can continue to be submitted online at www.nheasy.nh.gov or www.healthcare.gov, by calling the Medicaid Service Center at 1-888-901-4999, by downloading a paper application at www.dhhs.nh.gov or by visiting a DHHS district office.

Lulu, 64, who lives in west London, was joined by her Westie dog Clyde as she worked at her business partner's home in pink sheep-print pyjamas with bracelets from her jewellery range and iPad in a matching pink case.
"This is all about supporting one's own community," she said. "It's our duty to support other people where we can. Some of us are luckier than others."
On her pyjamas, she added: "They're cosy and remind me of my childhood. I'd like to go about in them all the time, although I probably look ridiculous."
People are being encouraged to join Friday's "pyjamarama" at work by signing up online and finding sponsors.
Singer Jason Donovan also joined the Standard campaign by asking Londoners to go to work in their night gear.

Consumer confidence rises slightly in August
August 28, 2013,
NEW YORK — Consumers were slightly more upbeat this month as the Consumer Confidence Index rose to 81.5 from 81.0 in July, The Conference Board reported.
The research organization said the Present Situation Index decreased in August to 70.7 from 73.6, but the Expectations Index increased to 88.7 from 86.0 last month.
"Consumer Confidence increased slightly in August, a result of improving short-term expectations," said Lynn Franco, director of economic indicators at The Conference Board. "Consumers were moderately more upbeat about business, job and earning prospects. In fact, income expectations, which had declined sharply earlier this year with the payroll tax hike, have rebounded to their highest level in two and a half years. Consumers' assessment of current business and labor market conditions, on the other hand, was somewhat less favorable than last month," she said.
The monthly Consumer Confidence Survey is done for The Conference Board by Nielsen. The cutoff date for the preliminary results was Aug. 15.
Consumers' assessment of current conditions moderately declined. Those stating business conditions are "good" decreased to 18.4% from 20.8%, while those stating business conditions are "bad" was virtually unchanged at 24.8%.
Consumers' appraisal of the labor market was mixed. Those claiming jobs are "plentiful" decreased to 11.4% from 12.3%, while those claiming jobs are "hard to get" declined to 33.0% from 35.2%.
Consumers' expectations, which had retreated in July, increased in August. Those expecting business conditions to improve over the next six months edged up to 20.1% from 19.9%. Those expecting business conditions to worsen declined slightly to 11.1% from 11.3%.
Consumers' outlook for the labor market remained upbeat. Those anticipating more jobs in the months ahead increased to 17.6% from 16.7%, while those anticipating fewer jobs edged down to 17.3% from 17.7%. The proportion of consumers expecting their incomes to increase improved to 17.4% from 15.7%. Those expecting a decrease declined slightly to 13.5% from 13.7%.

Senior Citizen: `I Am Ashamed'
I agree with your article "Victims of the golden years" (News: Analysis & Commentary, May 22).
I am tired of listening to elected officials use glib rhetoric to avoid taking responsibility for the jobs they were elected to do. I am ashamed, as a senior citizen, when the national budget devotes more money to the needs of the elderly than to those of our children. And I am frustrated by the "me first" rhetoric from all the special interest groups who seem to be in a frenzy to participate in the "entitlement feast." Social Security should not be paid unless the recipient needs it! Likewise Medicare.
Once upon a time, the American Dream was to prosper and provide a better life for our children. Now, it is clearly to receive more from society than we contribute.

Continue ...
What's up Bud? How has life been treating you?
Life has treated me very well. I stay busy, and I stay happy. That and I get paid to go to school, so what's not to love?
Let's give the people of MMAF some insight into your life.
What is your real name?
Jacob - of Twilight fame.
Do you, or have you ever trained in any martial arts? If so, which ones?
I've done a little BJJ, mostly for social reasons as well as the fitness aspect of it. Never competitively.
I also did a bit of wrestling back in my highschool days, that's ages ago though.
What are your hobbies outside of MMA?
Well I love - LOVE - surfing and skating, those are my two big passions. Other than that I love older cars (Used to own an '82 Mazda RX-7), making short films with my mate who's a pro, gaming/getting nerdy, MMA and just hanging out with friends and family.
Also, one of my biggest interest is social education (In which I'll be getting my Bachelor's degree on monday if everything goes well)
I work in a pre-school institution and enjoy studying how children learn and develop both socially and individually.
A gamer huh? I must say I am a pretty big one myself. What is your favorite type of game and do you have a favorite?
Well as you can see from this screenshot I have a lot of games on my computer ATM. I'm currently on my seventh (or eigth?) playthrough of FF7 which I would probably also say is my favorite game of all time.
I love almost every game in the Final Fantasy series, but I also have a passion for real time strategy like StarCraft and such :)
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
In five years I'll be working as a teacher for other people looking to get that Bachelor's degree I was just talking about.
I hope to have earned my Cand.mag. in teaching by then.
Also I'll hopefully still be enjoying life and still be bossing people around in here ;)
Let's talk some MMA!
Who is your absolute favorite fighter in the MMA world?
Well when I first started watching it was mr. Griffin. Then one day he fought this guy I didn't know very much about. But he got absolutely destroyed in that fight. And instead of hating this guy for humiliating my idol, I became a fan of his.
It's a lovestory that's lasted through 54 UFC PPVs now, and I'm proud to say that my boy is STILL the UFC MW champion.
Of course I'm talking about the man, the myth, the legend - Anderson Silva.
Would you rather see Silva fight GSP or Jon Jones?
Both fights would be very special and I'd also love to see both. I still think the fight with Bones is most intriguing, so that would be my first pick.
How do you think those two fights would turn out if they were to happen at some point?
Silva vs. GSP would have Silva coming in as the favorite in my opinion. He's better than GSP at boxing from the outside (Which is GSP's go to style when standing) and he's hard to take down when he catches on to your technique as seen in the second round of Silva vs. Sonnen II. Also he's bigger than GSP and a much more effecient fighter, he wouldn't be afraid to go for the kill if an opening presented itself.
As for Silva vs. Jones for the first time in his UFC career (Barring his debut and maybe his fight against Griffin) he would be coming in as an underdog and deservedly so. Jones is larger, longer and dangerous at all times. How it would play out I have no idea, which is why I want to see it. Come on Dana! :)
Who do you think is the best MMA striker in the world?
Even if I was trying to look at this objectively, I'd still have to give to Anderson. The things he has done in the Octagon are just other-worldly. His clowning of Griffin, the knees against Sonnen and Bonnar. His general smoothness and mastery of almost every exchange he enters is just awe-inspiring.
How about wrestler?
I am a sucker for some Grecko-Roman wrestling and all-time it's between Randy and Hendo. Currently I'm gonna give it to Jones though - he's just so smooth with his TDs while controlling his opponents upper body and manipulating his movements to his will.
Don't like the guy - love his fighting though :)
And grappler?
There are a lot of very good grapplers out there that have adopted well to MMA. Some of my favorite moments in MMA has been submissions.
Diaz subbing Gomi, Andy saving his title against Sonnen, Chonan doing something ugly to Andy, Werdum finishing Fedor, Rousey subbing 68 people in a row and the list goes on.
The best grappler currently in MMA though has to be Vinny Magalhaes, that cat is smoooooth!
What are you top 5 favorite fights?
I might have to list a few more than just five, I apologize :p
In no particular order:
- Hendo vs. Shogun
- Lauzon vs. Varner (His fight with Miller was epic as well)
- Griffin vs. Bonnar (For historical significance as well)
- Silva vs. Sonnen I
- Henderson vs. Cerrone I
- Henderson vs. Pettis
- Diaz vs. Gomi
- Garcia vs. Jung I
- Sanchez vs. Guida
And many more - don't want to bore you.
Who do you think will win the upcoming fight between Vitor Belfort and Michael Bisping and how do you see the fight ending?
I think Bisping has a decent shot a winning, at least a better shot than many people seem to give him. He has great defensive wrestling so he will probably control where the fight takes place. He needs to stay on the outside and circle away from Vitor's power (Don't want another Hendo'esque highligh do we?) and pepper Vitor a bit when the opportunity presents itself. That way, he can win this fight.
Of course we all know how hard Vitor hits and he can submit people if need be. So it could end in a flash.
My prediction is Bisping via descision. If it ends before then - Vitor.
How do you feel about Strikeforce being gone?
It's always sad to see a competitor to Zuffa's throne go. But to be fair SF was already a shell of it's former self. Since Zuffa bought them it has been heading this way, slowly but surely.
I'm very glad that Bellator has upped their game though so.. GO WATCH BELLATOR PEOPLE - IT'S AWESOME!
How do you think the top talent from Bellator would stack up against the top talent in the UFC?
Well a lot of them would do decently, but probably not get near the titles anytime soon. Michael Chandler though would be very interesting and could fight his way into a title-fight I believe.
And I'm so psyched about Alvarez coming over, can't wait for him to get going!
What was your favorite Era in MMA?
Easy answer would probably be Pride vs. UFC era. But I'm gonna go a different route.
My favorite era in MMA is right now! 2013 has a lot of promise for MMA fans everywhere. From an injury standpoint it can only get better for the UFC. We also have Bellator on the rise. Women's divisions are growing, especially in Invicta and UFC has a women's fight headlining soon. Also the first openly gay fighter is headlining a UFC PPV soon which is awesome.
The future is bright and I can't wait to experience it!
As my farewell - A loveletter...
Oh MMA Forum, how I love you so. Posters far and wide, discussing that which we all love, MMA.
Seriously though, I love this place and I hope you guys never get tired of me. 'Cause you're never getting rid of me ;)
And big thanks goes out to Hit for putting this thing together and letting my 2010 self live his dream :)
That's all of the time we have this time MMAF! Thank you Budhisten for taking the time to answer some questions for us. Keep an eye on your inbox as YOU could be the next person featured. And as always be on the lookout for next month's issue of MMAF All Access!
Always enjoyed these, glad they are back. Solid interview, I would have liked a bit more non-MMA questions, but still a fun read.
Great job mate - solid effort all around :)
Very cool stuff, the interview with Budhi was awesome.
Awesome as always Hit!
Great interview too... Can't believe they let you near kids Bud :D
Nah I take my work very seriously, unlike anything else in my life as you can see ;)
Good stuff, but can you guys interview someone who isn't a complete retard, please? :hug:
Nah, good stuff, glad to see this back.
Bastard :p
This is really cool guys, great idea.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
need board advice bigger rider
5 foot 11 and about 250 lbs. This number should be going down as i am dieting and going to the gym. I havent ridden in 2 years(was riding for 6 years before) but when I did ride I would have rated myself a mid level rider. During my prime of riding when I worked at a ski shop I used to weigh in around 210. I just sold my last board witch was the last model year burton uninc 159. Looking to get something a bit stiffer but I have always liked how twin boards ride. I don't want to ride a huge board so I would like to keep it around 158-160.
I do some big mountain stuff(live in new england) here and there but mostly will be riding at my local mountain witch is pretty small. Dont really go into the park but i dont mind hitting smaller jumps and buttering around.
I'm also new to all the different type of board shapes. Back in the day all I sold was camber boards. Thanks for the help.

More to Like Than to Disparage
This revival is great fun. The singing is exuberant, the choreography energetically acrobatic, the acting infectiously joyous. The sets and costumes are magnificent and the general ambience of this play within a play (the premise being that the incomplete Dickens novel, here adapted for the stage, is being produced by a theatrical troupe in Victorian London) is cheerily successful. Add to that the play's interactive conceit in which it is left to the audience to determine who killed Edwin Drood, who the bearded detective Dick Datchery might be, and which of the play's many characters are destined for romance, and you've got the makings of an entertaining evening. To be sure, the show's music is more derivative than memorable and I doubt that you'll find yourself humming any of its tunes as you leave the theatre. And the audience participation conceit is a bit hokey after all. But, all things considered, the show has more to commend than to disparage. I have posted an expanded version of this review as well as reviews of several other Broadway, off Broadway, and off off Broadway plays on my blog www.aseatontheaisle.blogspot.com.

- - boots hurt ankle bone (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/boards/4452-boots-hurt-ankle-bone.html)
boots hurt ankle bone
i got some vans cirros (double boa)...they fit GREAT, except for a pain in my inside ankle bone...kinda on the top of the bone that sticks out...
i wear dress shoes all day at work, so i realize that this area usually doesnt get pressed on...
so anyone think this will go away...or should i just send them back and wait till next year to get some boots?
i think you should just find a pad to put in your boots.
Is the pain only in your rear ankle?
I have single BOA and get the exact same pain that you get. Right on top of that ankle bone. Only in the rear ankle, though.
I kind of diagnosed the problem as being from the nylon strap in the liner being pressed on by the overlying BOA lace when the boots are tightened. I have tried breaking my boots in to the max but nothing helps. I can't even walk in the boots anymore because of the pain.
My only choice is to go to the Burton Zone lacing boots for ease of tightening, but I sure as hell am going to miss the simplicity of BOA. I think BOA is by far the superior system for dialing in and adjusting your boot preference.
Let me know if you discover a cure besides an ankle pad.
its actually on the bones that still out, like the round ones that are kinda on your leg...they stick on out on their side...
and its only the ones on the inside of my ankle...
i think its just the preasure there...my old pair of crappy avalanche boots do it too, but not as bad...i going to wear them around the house a little more, trying to break them or my food in...
it really sucks cause they fit soooo good everywhere else...i straped in teh board and i got no heel lift of anything

Panama's Expanding Canal Can't Keep Up With MegashipsBy
When it was completed a century ago, the Panama Canal was the largest engineering project the world had ever seen: A 50-mile cut through mountainous, malarial terrain to create gravity-fed water locks that could lift giant freighters and ocean liners 85 feet up from sea level, across the isthmus, and back down again. Now, though, this historic achievement is too small.
Panamanians overwhelmingly voted in a 2006 national referendum to expand the canal. The $5.25 billion project will widen and deepen the existing channel while creating two new entranceways, one on the Atlantic side, one on the Pacific. Most important—and ambitious—the project will create a new set of locks that are bigger and yet more efficient at husbanding water. (Each time the locks open, they drain Panama's Gatun Lake a little bit.) The project is scheduled for completion by April 2015.
Why would Panama decide to spend a fifth of its gross domestic product on this? Panama and those markets—the U.S., most prominently—that rely on the waterway for imports and exports are concerned that the canal has become a chokepoint. Dozens of ships wait to get through on any given day; at times the wait can be a week. Shippers sometimes pay hundreds of thousands of dollars just for the right to jump to the front of the line.
For decades, the biggest ships being built haven't been able to fit through the canal. When it was constructed, cargo ships were a fraction of their current size; container-ship capacity has tripled in the past 20 years. And now that a Chinese entrepreneur has announced the route for a visionary project to built a competing canal through Nicaragua, the pressure is even higher.
Panama's canal expansion has critics. The problem with mammoth infrastructure projects is that they take time. Even as the new canal is being dredged, container ships continue to grow in size. Even the expanded canal won't fit the very largest ships coming into operation.
There's another wrinkle, too: climate change. As more of the northern ice cap melts, it's becoming possible for ships to pass through the Arctic from Asia to the Americas. Opening the once-fabled Northwest Passage will make the Panama Canal far less important. Tiny Panama has very parochial reasons for hoping the planet gets a handle on global warming.

Wine clubs offer convenience, value but may not be for everyone
By Leslie Gevirtz
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Wine clubs that advertise in the Sunday Times of London, The New York Times and other publications offer convenience and choice for consumers, especially those who are pressed for time or who live far from big cities.
But experts said the clubs may not be the right fit for savvy buyers who can shop for wines at stores with large selections and knowledgeable staff.
For newspapers and magazines, the clubs make "good sense," according to Mike Federle, chief operating officer of Forbes magazine, which started a wine club this summer.
"It's basically a subscription, which is a business model we know very well," he said in an interview.
But the publications don't select the wines or deal with shipping, taxes and licenses. They have contracts with companies that provide those services and others, to differentiate themselves and the publications' customers.
"We source wine from around the world and around the country. We take orders from customers and deliver wine to their doors and will curate wine selections," said Kristen Decker of Global Wine Co., which works with The New York Times, Food and Wine magazine, and other publications.
Thomas Woolrych, U.S. wine director for Direct Wines Inc., which competes with Global Wine Co., said despite the benefits, the clubs may not be the best choice for people knowledgeable about wine.
The clubs are "not really for people who are wine savvy or have so many wine shops and choices as someone on the (U.S.) East Coast," he said. "But it can be intimidating for someone, anywhere, to walk into shops that are walls of wines. And then there is the convenience factor." Continued...

Day 6 of the Akron Zips spring practice showed that the offense is still very much a work in progress and likely will be into the beginning of summer practice. The best way to describe the performance of the assorted units is uneven. They did some good things and they did some not so good things as the team endured another half scrimmage.
Offensive observations:
Defensive observations:
Offensive standouts:
Wide receiver Jerrod Dillard caught two touchdown passes – one of 25 yards – in the scrimmage. Unfortunately he also had a fumble on a reception. D.J. Jones continues to draw notice, coming up with one of the best runs of the day after absorbing a huge hit from a defender, bounding off of him and turning it into a six-yard gain.
Defensive standouts:
Until goal-line situations the defense was stout. They played with ferocity and as a unit. Not much more can be asked other than that.
Notes: Isaiah Williams is now a former defensive lineman. The 6-foot-3, 264-pound lineman was moved to the other side of the ball. Bowden said that his speed wasn't quite what they needed on the defensive line, but it along with his athleticism were perfect for the other side. … Defensive ends Jason Stargel and Alfonso Horner limped off the field. Of the two Stargel, who has been playing some good ball, appeared to be the most serious injury. However, word of anything serious will likely not be confirmed until Saturday.

Cadillac BLS Forum (Europe / South Africa) Discussion, Want A Cadillac Diesel With 6-speed Manual? in Past Cadillac Vehicle Discussion; Then go to England. I was surfing the net and ran across the animal on: AutoMotoPortal.com - automotive industry portal ...

Want A Cadillac Diesel With 6-speed Manual?
Then go to England.
I was surfing the net and ran across the animal on:
AutoMotoPortal.com - automotive industry portal
and saw the critter called the
Cadillac BLS
It's a Front Drive vehicle with gas or diesel power. The diesel is a 1.9 liter, Cummins, 4 cylinder Turbodiesel, available with automatic or 6 speed manual.
The gasoline version is a 255 hp. V-6, available with manual or or automatic.
It looks like the BLS has been in England since 2005.
There are also some interesting articles about GM expanding with a Chevrolet plant in St. Petersburg - and I don't mean in Florida.

Re: Want A Cadillac Diesel With 6-speed Manual?
Four engines are available:
1.9 Ltr. diesel 150 hp - 6 speed manual or 6 speed auto 4 cyl.
2.0 Ltr. gasol. 175 hp - 6 speed manual or 5 speed auto 4 cyl.
2.0 Ltr. gasol. 210 hp - 6 speed mauual or 5 speed auto 4 cyl.
2.8 Ltr. gasol. 255 hp - 6 speed manual or 6 speed auto V6 cyl.
All engines are Turbo!
Re: Want A Cadillac Diesel With 6-speed Manual?
Hans -
Instead of the Catera, I am dumbfounded that something of the sort enjoyed by the Europeans hasn't been brought to the USA.
If Cadillac wanted to develop a "younger/sportier image" the Catera is, IMHO, not the way to do it. But the cars noted above sure would be.
Cadillac marketing and planning must, surely, be brain dead.
Talk about "Break Through."
My 'Old Man's Car,' 1995, Dark Blue, Fleeetwood Brougham, dusting a Lexus 300 from a stoplight, does more for Cadillac's image than dozens of
"young people's" Cateras.
(I won't tell them I shut off the traction control and have a Carolina Performance Transmissions Stage II HydraMatic behind a 2,000 rpm converter behind the perfectly stock LT-1, if you don't )

Re: Want A Cadillac Diesel With 6-speed Manual?
wait 1-2 years and I think the BLS will also be available in the US, especially when gasoline prices keep on rising.
Well, Catera is gone, replacement for this was the CTS and the CTS shows up with good sale numbers. The 250 K is already produced - that`s good!
LOL, I used to have a new dark red Fleetwood Brougham from 95 to 2000 and this car was absolutely great. I had no changes on but was able to beat many on stop lights. I had this one at my home in Fl. and replaced it with my 00 DTS which I brought to germany.
Have a nice sunday!!!!
Re: Want A Cadillac Diesel With 6-speed Manual?
Hans -
>I got the Fleetwood - believe it or not - as a "tow vehicle" for our PopUp camper since I sent our big Dodge B250 van/wagon to my cousin's son-in-law's father. He is retired and his Ford pickup died and he needed something to use in his furniture refinishing business to supplement his meagre pension.
>The Fleetwood is - in every sense - as much, if not more fun, than the 1960 Mercedes 220Sb I had from 1964 through 1998. That vehicle was sheer pleasure to drive, especially on long trips. One was from Milwaukee, WI to Hartford, CT, in one shot; 5AM to 9PM with stops along the way, of course, and I felt as fresh as a daisy at the end of the trip.
>That was due to Mercedes "mystique" if calibrating spring rates in the vehicle all the way thru the seats (!) so that the driver is fatigued as little as possible.
(The Star, the Mercedes club magazine, years ago had a long article about this)
I find that the Cadillac seems to have the same type of sensation; not so cushy as one might think. Plus, it is unusually capable in the twisties, something that surprised me for a 2 1/2 ton beastie.
It will not compare with my wife's sport model Dodge Stratus, (which eats BMWs in the twisties unless there is an usually capable driver) but is MOST respectible, nonetheless.

Re: Want A Cadillac Diesel With 6-speed Manual?
The Fleetwood with the LS1 - sure you can use it for towing, why not!
Oh Yeah, the 60`s, I still remember the old merc 220, my dad used to drive that time a Opel Kapitean, the Merc and the Opel was that time the biggest cars on the road in Germany.
Now back to diesel, as far as I`ve heard GM wants to put big diesels in the STS and SRX and CTS for Europe. They`ll plan to buy this engines from a german auto-maker. Still, I don`t like Diesels!!!!!!!
Re: Want A Cadillac Diesel With 6-speed Manual?
I hope they put a bid diesel engine to those models .I think that would boost the sales of Cadillac .
BTW, I am not that harsh on diesel as I did in the past especially after winning 24HRS in Le Mans as well as huge success in American Le Mans Series

Re: Want A Cadillac Diesel With 6-speed Manual?
Yes, they won this year at Le Mans but wasn`t quite as fast as the gasoline ones last year.
Re: Want A Cadillac Diesel With 6-speed Manual?
However the gap has been very closed down between gasoline and diesel engine and unless we see a true Ferrari or Lamborghini diesel engines out
Re: Want A Cadillac Diesel With 6-speed Manual?
The Audi R10 has won every race it's been in, even after they started to put fueling restrictors on them to even the playing field.
Besides my SLS, I also have a VW Jetta TDI with the 6 speed auto and guess what, no smoke. Diesel fuel has been changing and it's not what it used to be. The engine doesn't make a lot of noise either. My passengers don't even know it's a diesel unless I tell them.
You'll see more diesels popping up in the USA once the fuel changeover is done and I sure hope GM brings their diesels over from Europe.
Re: Want A Cadillac Diesel With 6-speed Manual?
Sad thing is, Cadillac still is not doing ANY advertising in Europe, so sales are L O W. That is very very sad for a pretty nice quality car the BLS is!
I drove the diesel and the 2.8 and I was quite impressed. For a european car it's perfect and it would well fit the small car niche in the US.
Just...damn it... make some advertising!!!! Nobody knows Cadillac here in Europe!!!!
An American swede from germany?
If we talk DIESEL, the MB 320 CDI would be the one for me. No SAAB based diesel caddillac with OPEL engines for me. Ill keep my 1994 FLEETWOOD for sunday trips to get icecream. It will be a classic by the time i can afford a new DIESEL
Re: Want A Cadillac Diesel With 6-speed Manual?
maybe I'm biased, but I love diesels. I am an electrical techincian for a bus dealership in upstate ny. They have come a long way. The new Cummins diesels are so quiet, you can barely hear them run... the loudest point is at the tail pipe. you can have a conversation over them with the lid off. That didnt used to be the case with the engine covered.
And GM's new duramax is the same story... that's a fantastic engine. It's quiet, and it is outstandingly powerful. I dont know what the particulars are, but it feels as good or better than a gasoline engine.
A friend of mine has a 2005 VW passat diesel.. I did not even know it was a diesel until he mentioned it. In this midsized smooth riding well built car, he gets 42 MPG on a trip. It has more than enough power, and it starts fine all winter, and if you know about upstate NY... that's impressive. We drop below freezing for months on end, and below 0 in his neck of the woods frequently.
Nothing wrong with diesels. They're better. Maybe not from a performance stand point... but for "regular driving" they should eliminate gas engines.
And you wont smell like the stuff if you wear gloves and be careful filling up.

PARIS – The United States, China and Qatar were accused of environmental plunder on Tuesday as green activists marked "Earth Overshoot Day," the date at which mankind has exhausted a year's budget of natural resources.
"In just over eight months, we have used as much nature as our planet can regenerate this year," said Global Footprint Network, an international think tank that calculates the metric.
"The rest of the year corresponds to overshoot," the think tank said in a press release. "We will maintain our ecological deficit by depleting oceans of fish, trees and other resources, and accumulating waste such as carbon dioxide in the atmosphere."
It would take more than 1½ Earths to meet humanity's present rate of consumption, the group said.
"We are on track to require the resources of two Earths well before midcentury," it said.
If the world's population adopted the lifestyle of a typical resident of China, it would take a little bit less than 1¼ Earths, it said.
"Other countries' per capita demands on the planet's ecosystems are even higher: if everybody were to live like United States' residents today, it would take four Earths to support the global population," the report said. "In Qatar, the typical resident requires the resources of 6½ Earths."

In Love with Your Law Job?
An Open Relationship with Your Work Is Possible -- and Even an Asset
Is it possible for attorneys to passionately pursue both their vocation and their avocations?
For lawyer Thomas Tuohy, it's not only feasible to engage in his chosen avocation of community involvement, it's a necessity. "If someone does not choose to have both a life and a law career, they will not be much of a lawyer," says Tuohy, a Chicago attorney who hung a shingle in 1982 shortly after graduating from law school. Tuohy's extensive community involvement includes founding Dreams for Kids, which creates programs for children who are isolated by disability.
"Community-minded" may not be the descriptor that first comes to mind when people think of lawyers, but it does describe a large fraction of the legal profession.
"When I need help on a community project or money for an organization, I know there's a huge cadre of lawyers out there who are happy to help," says Lauren Rikleen, a senior partner with Bowditch & Dewey LLP in Framingham, Massachusetts. "When you need to get something done, it's always the lawyers that step up first."
So how do you balance your legal vocation with your devotion to the greater good? It helps to start early.
Early Career Decisions Make a Big Difference
"A lot of these decisions will be made in law school," says Bradley McGavin, director of contingent recruitment at staffing firm Hudson Legal in Los Angeles. "The real decision is what kind of law you practice."
If, for example, you become a litigator who spends months at trial without a speck of discretionary time, it will be hard to devote any personal resources to community or family.
Some lawyers will tell you that large firms, with their high and increasing demands for billable hours, are no place for a community activist. But it may not be that simple.
"At small firms you don't have as many resources, so you have less power to delegate to a secretary or other staff," says McGavin. Ultimately, the managing partners' attitude toward associates' and partners' community activities may be more important than the firm's size.
Alternative Legal Careers Make Sense for Renaissance Men and Women
Some lawyers will balance their professional and community interests by finding an alternative setting for practicing law or otherwise exploiting their expertise. They may, for example, turn to an alternative arrangement such as working on a contract basis.
"When you're in the middle of a contract engagement, your hours may be about the same as at a firm," says McGavin. "But you can work three or four months and take a month or two off. Still, you have to be cautious about how long you work on contract; if you stay out of firms too long, it will be very difficult to get back in."
Also, alternative legal careers like teaching "can be a fantastic option for people," says McGavin.
Making Something Happen in a Big Firm
Being committed to community involvement doesn't mean giving up the dream of success in a large, prestigious law firm. "You have to pick the big firm that allows you to have a balanced life," says Tuohy. "Look at what pro bono work they do; will they let you do it?"
Rikleen has managed to integrate her professional and community interests. "I worked with my firm to create a subsidiary, the Bowditch Institute for Women's Success, through which I could consult professionally," she says. "Now a lot of my volunteer activity is focused on women's issues."
But doesn't a deep commitment to outside causes impose a limit on what a lawyer can accomplish professionally? Not necessarily.
"Community involvement shouldn't be an impediment; if anything, it's a plus," says Rikleen. "It should provide you with many opportunities to show your firm how it's enhanced your skills, for example, as a leader."
Indeed, some attorneys do their best rainmaking when engaging with the larger community. "I had to be out in the community to generate the first client that I got in my career," says Tuohy.

bladderwort care?
i am looking for a fast growing water cleaning plant for fry tanks to replace my duck weed and stumbled across bladderwort it it grows half as well as people claim i would like it, what are the light and nutrient demands of this plant ?
I have this plant & it doesn't seem to require much.
As long as you give it proper light for 8-10 hours it should grow on it's own.
I think I have the common variety.
No real special care required.
Do you have any current photos of your fry tank
What type of fry?
you WANT bladderwort?
I feel like though, that it will not grow well on its own, and that you would need another plant for it to be growing on.
Hornwort or Elodea seem to work nicely for that, as do any carpet plants.
Yeah its is pretty easy, no special requirements that i have found. I have it in some of my tanks and I like the way it grows in and out of other plants, I have relatively low light so its not too overwhelming.
If you have J moss the two work well together b/c the Bladderwort grows up faster than the moss.
A lot of people consider it a weed but you know the old saying one man's weed is another man's flower!
Which specific Bladderwort (it's not a single plant, Bladdworts are typically a collective of the Utricularia) are you talking about?
U. gibba? U. graminifolia?
i want a water weed so that the ammonia gets absorbed and helps keep the water quality good along with pwc, the best plant ive found so far is duckweed but i dislike having it stuck to my arm so Bladderwort poped up,. i have 2 10 gallon tanks and a 20 gallon ,. ive been breeding guppies , i few Limia nigrofasciata and hopefully my pleco and white clouds will have a successful spawn soon (eggs have all disappeared so far)
as for sp. im not sure whatever i can get my hands on ,. do both flower?
13 Attachment(s)
What about guppy grass or hornwort?
i was thinking blatterwork would grow easyer and faster but thous may work havent had much lick with guppie grass
There are many, many Bladderworts. It's not just a single plant. So when you say "Bladderwort"? You're referring to a whole group of plants.
Nearly all of them flower.
13 Attachment(s)
Guppy grass is always being auctioned off in Colorado if you want to try again. I have some hornwort you could have if you want some.
i have hornwort,duck weed and fogbit it all grows very well for me but guppie grass all just disappears on me
I doubt bladderwort would help clean the water; I believe it gets most of its nutrients from being carnivorous.

Pay as you please
Most businesses have a goal of making a profit. Others have a goal of making a difference to others.
The final category of businesses is under the radar, but it does exist. What about the businesses who have two goals – making money and helping others?
Take Panera Bread, for example. My friends and I frequent the local Panera Bread restaurants to enjoy their smoothies, soup, sandwiches, pastries and so much more.
I'm a pretty big fan of Panera Bread, but after I ran across an article stating a project the company has had in the works for a few years and my love for the company grew leaps and bounds in the three minutes it took me to read the article.
The idea behind Panera Cares Cafe is to pay-what-you-can. Food served at the cafes is similar to what you would find at Panera Bread. Accompanied with the food item on the menu board is a suggested donation price. Cashiers simply ring up what you order and give you what the suggested donation is. Then you have the choice on where to go from there.
Your four options:
1. Pay nothing
2. Pay what you can
3. Pay the suggested price
4. Pay the suggested price + extra
A true test
I like to look at the concept of Panera Cares Cafe as a test of our generosity towards one another.
Ron Shiach, president of the Panera Foundation and executive chairman of Panera Break company, said the idea was a "true test of humanity."
So here is where I would like my readers to get involved. Tell me what you think about this concept. Panera Cares Cafe trial cafeterias have been open for over a year and the results are in.
Do you think Panera Cares Cafe has had success? Share your comments below.
I'll let you know the results of the study later on this week.
"We are not about a handout.
We are about a hand up for those who really need it."

As among the frequent battles of staying a mom, correcting pleasing foods the full loved ones will love is a biggie. A person weapon it is possible to weld in this war is often a well-stocked spice cupboard. Filling that www.k2herbstore.com/about-us/ cabinet with quite a few basic but useful seasonings and spices, you can definitely be completely ready on the subject of dealing with that nightly challenge with ease.
one. Salt and Pepper- Pleasing the palates of all customers of the loved ones may be beside unachievable. Try out making it possible for household customers to spice up their food for their liking with a few simple and essential salt and paper. With these table-side spices and seasonings, a bland meal is usually seasoned to any household member's liking, it doesn't matter how diverse their tastes may be.
two. Cinnamon – Irrespective of its use, regardless of whether included to cookies or simply sprinkled on oatmeal, cinnamon provides a heat and do-it-yourself flavor to any dish. This spice may be used in a very assortment of how which is offered inexpensively, creating it a staple for just about any hectic mom's spice pantry.
three. Garlic – With garlic you can do nearly anything from whipping up a simple and filling loaf of garlic bread to seasoning your favorite Italian-style treat. Readily available inside of a variety of kinds ranging from full clovers to garlic salt this spice is one that all mothers should continue hand and, since it is so low-cost, you'll be able to do this with no breaking the lender.
4. Oregano – This is certainly a different mainstay of anyone who cooks Italian food items simply because it adds many taste to tomato sauces and infuses baked Italian dishes. Although accessible contemporary, this spice can also be tasty dried, producing it a simple addition towards the family spice cabinet. By sprinkling the environmentally friendly oregano leaves more than the top of a finished dish, you may even include some aesthetic attraction also.
5. Onion Powder – Insert some taste on your subsequent casserole using the addition of some onion powder. In case you or your loved ones associates don't discover chunks of onion being for their liking, you may use onion powder as an alternative with no influencing the flavor. Just one major benefit of onion powder is the fact you'll be able to depart onions outside of a dish entirely if spouse and children members never just like the taste and people who do like it can incorporate the seasoning for their personal parts alternatively.
6. Vanilla Bean – For the people small children who like sweet tasting treats, utilizing vanilla beans is often a fantastic flavor addition. Using this the natural way sweet seasoning you could generate the palate satisfying sweetness you need in versions of pudding, cakes or cookies that aren't as heavy in sugar as other folks.
While you turn out to be much more skillful at working with spices and seasonings to jazz up your dishes, insert some other individuals towards your cupboard, discovering tips on how to ideal cook with each and every. Eventually, you are going to turn into a learn spice-user, in a position to season any dish to perfection with just the supplies in the seasonings and spices cupboard and a few know-how.

The sales enablement profession is evolving from stewards of "broken things" into a more strategic function that helps CEO's bridge the gap between the business strategy and field execution. Our upcoming Sales Enablement Forum is dedicated to these emerging HEROes and sharing the path forward to a more efficient and adaptive selling system. Having said that, I am excited to share an interview we had with Carol Sustala, senior director of Global Sales Enablement at Symantec and one of our keynote speakers. I have the privilege of getting to work with her hands on a lot over the past year and am excited for the rest of you to hear her story.
So, enough about me - here is Carol in her own words:
(1) Sales Enablement is a big, cross-functional role; what did it take to motivate your peers to team with you on some challenges?
The function of Sales Enablement requires tremendous cross-functional alignment and collaboration, and that's not something that happens overnight. One of the key elements to success in driving an aligned sales enablement effort is not really motivation so much, as it is relationships and shared commitments to success. Invest in building strong relationships built on mutual respect for unique talents, expertise and experience across the key stakeholder organizations responsible for some aspect of Sales Enablement, and the motivation to team up on challenges will follow close behind.
(2) Sales Enablement is an emerging role and discipline; where do you see the Sales Enablement role headed at Symantec?

I like to have two lists in life. Ok I really love lists, so I usually have about 13 going on at any given time, but I like to categorize those lists into two main ones ---> the things I HAVE to do and the things I LIKE to do (AKA the things I am prob going to do before the things I have to do )
SO on my list of likes this month are some new reads! I have contacted the Houston Library and they are creating a personalized book list just for yours truly! Doesn't that sound like I am some celebrity? In reality all you need is a library card and 15 mins to fill out a survey. My friend and Life Mentor, Heidi also gave me some new reading material!
Here are the books I am currently tackling (charlotte bronte is prob turning in her grave)
1.) Port Mortuary--Patricia Cornwell. I will have you know that she is a #1 NY times best selling author!! I am also a firm believer in mentally relaxing reading. I will read Slouching Towards Bethlehem another time :)
2.) Fall of Giants by Ken Follett. I got excited when I opened the front cover and there was a historical map inside :)
3.) The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I have been enamored with these since they first started appearing at the local bookstore and were so bright and colorful!! The plot also interests me, not to worry!
4.) The Girl who Played with Fire.
Off I go to take a hot bath, drink some calming tea, and snuggle up with a good book.

Thanks for the nice compliments. I didn't do anything to the 4x4 switch except change position. Hopefully this weekend I can take it for its maiden voyage, or at least take it up town to the pub! I have a few dislikes already, the missing side compartment, I whack my knee on the steering surround every time I get out, glovebox is warped and doesn't seal and this thing really vibrates. When I went to put fuel on even the gas tank vibrates at idle, my ol 700 was smooth, I don't know what would have changed engine wise, I have a 800 sportsman and that runs smooth?

Expression of interleukin-3 (IL3\; MIM 147740) is restricted to activated T cells, natural killer (NK) cells, and mast cell lines. Additionally we are shipping NFIL3 Antibodies (98) and NFIL3 Kits (23) and many more products for this protein.
Showing 5 out of 5 products:
Human NFIL3 Protein expressed in Wheat germ - ABIN1312476
Ohno, Onishi, Ishida: A novel E4BP4 element drives circadian expression of mPeriod2. in Nucleic acids research 2007
glucocorticoid-mediated transactivating pathway may support eosinophil viability in IL-5 (show IL5 Proteins)-stimulated cells through synergistic upregulation of NFIL3
E4BP4 and BIM (show BCL2L11 Proteins) regulation correlated with that of RCAN1 (show RCAN1 Proteins)-1. A putative GRE and four EBPREs were identified within 1500bp upstream from the transcription start site of RCAN1 (show RCAN1 Proteins)-1
Results conclude that the transcriptional repressor E4BP4 plays a role in repressing epigenetically regulated SOSTDC1 (show SOSTDC1 Proteins) expression in breast cancer cells, which can be reverted by E4BP4 silencing.
NFIL3 plays a neuroprotective role in neurons and constitutes a potential therapeutic target for neurodegeneration.
Data indicate that E4BP4 can inhibit CD40L (show CD40LG Proteins) expression through epigenetic modifications in the promoter region of CD40L (show CD40LG Proteins).
NFIL3 alters cancer cell behavior and FOXO (show FOXO3 Proteins) function by acting on chromatin to restrict the menu of FOXO (show FOXO3 Proteins) target genes
The clock-regulated and immune system modulator transcription factor E4BP4/ NFIL3 likely regulates the expression of both appb in zebrafish and APP (show APP Proteins) in humans.
G9a (show EHMT2 Proteins) mediates E4BP4-dependent suppression of hepatic Fgf21 (show FGF21 Proteins) by enhancing histone methylation (H3K9me2) of the Fgf21 (show FGF21 Proteins) promoter
Conclude that E4BP4 plays as a survival factor in heart and E4BP4 is essential for proper embryonic heart development.
This report demonstrates that GC-mediated upregulation of the bZIP transcriptional repressor gene, E4BP4, is dependent on [Ca2 (show CA2 Proteins)+]i levels, and correlates with GC-evoked apoptosis of GC-sensitive CEM-C7-14 cells.
Study shows that Nfil3 is enriched in the myeloid compartment of adult zebrafish including eosinophils.
conclude that E4BP4/NIFL3 plays as a survival factor in heart and E4BP4 is essential for proper embryonic heart development.
New direct Wnt (show WNT2 Proteins)/beta-catenin (show CTNNB1 Proteins) target gene Nfil3 , which induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition, cell migration and experimental metastasis of Colorectal cancer cells was identified.
removal of NFIL3 in vivo does not recapitulate the regeneration-promoting effects that were previously observed in vitro.
These findings establish that NFIL3 directs the differentiation of a committed innate lymphoid cell precursor.
These data identify an IL-27 (show IL27 Proteins)/NFIL3 signalling axis as a key regulator of effector T-cell responses via induction of Tim-3 (show HAVCR2 Proteins), IL-10 (show IL10 Proteins) and T-cell dysfunction.
establish NFIL3 as a key regulator of common helper-like innate lymphoid cells progenitors as they emerge during early lymphopoiesis
Iso-mediated induction of Nfil3 in osteoblasts regulates the expression of Ptgs2 (show PTGS2 Proteins) by driving the expression of circadian clock genes
E4BP4 plays a crucial role in glucocorticoid -evoked apoptosis of osteoblasts by enabling induction of Bim (show BCL2L11 Proteins)
Nfil3 is a key regulator of the development of innate lymphoid cell subsets essential for immune protection in the lung and gut (show GUSB Proteins).
Nfil3 is critical for normal development of gut (show GUSB Proteins)-associated type 3 innate lymphoid cells. Nfil3 deficiency severely compromises intestinal innate immune defense against acute bacterial infection with Citrobacter rodentium and Clostridium difficile.
signals transmitted by Ly49H and proinflammatory cytokines are sufficient to promote NK cell differentiation in the absence of Nfil3.
Expression of interleukin-3 (IL3\; MIM 147740) is restricted to activated T cells, natural killer (NK) cells, and mast cell lines. Transcription initiation depends on the activating capacity of specific protein factors, such as NFIL3, that bind to regulatory regions of the gene, usually upstream of the transcription start site (Zhang et al., 1995
