RIO DE JANEIRO – Away from the games, some Olympians are looking for a different kind of match.
Athletes increasingly are using apps like Tinder as they look to have fun and escape the pressures of competition inside the Olympic Village. Profiles from athletes of nearly every sport can be found on Tinder with updates like "Got plenty of time to kill," or "Looking for fun in Rio!"
Hookups among athletes have long been part of the games but using mobile apps has made these Olympic flings a lot easier. A surge in mobile dating first appeared during the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi after Olympic organizers loosened strict social media guidelines that had been in place during the 2012 Summer Games in London.
Since then, the market for hookup apps has only grown more popular. Tinder, which allows users to swipe right on a profile picture to approve and left to reject, is among the most widely used in the growing market that includes Grindr, Hinge and others.
Tinder spokeswoman Rosette Pambakian said usage has skyrocketed in Rio de Janeiro. Matches in the Olympic Village increased by 129 percent over the weekend, and the company expects that trend to continue, she said.
Marcus Nyman, a judoka in the men's 90-kilogram division from Sweden, said he got 10 matches on Tinder in the first day or so after he arrived in Rio.
"A lot of the athletes here are using this app," said Nyman, 25.
These Summer Games may be a perfect environment for hook ups. About 10,000 athletes are living in a 31-building compound far away from Rio's iconic beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema. The village is secluded among the misty lush mountains of Rio's west borough with only a few shopping centers and high-rise towers are nearby.
"The Olympics is a very sexually charged time," said Julie Spira, an online and mobile dating expert. "Young athletes and attendees have been using dating apps heavily in prior Olympics, but now the popularity of an app like Tinder continues to grow and grow."
Olympic organizers have noticed. Some 450,000 condoms have been allocated for athletes, more than three times as many as in London.
Countries' committees do not seem too concerned with athletes sparking romance off stage. Though there is tight security, Australian teams "are free to use" Tinder and other apps, committee spokesman Mike Tancred said. And U.S. athletes have not been told they can't use them.
On Tinder, there are plenty of athlete profiles to choose from. Many updated their status to reflect they are in Rio with a photo of them shirtless or in a bikini next to the pool or a beach.
Yemi Apithy, a 27-year-old French-Beninese fencer, said he used Tinder "just for distraction."
"We meet people from a lot of nationalities," he said.
Has he found anyone?
"For sure," he said. "I am a pretty boy."
An Olympic swimmer with a dad bod is being body shamed
Cindy Boren
(c) 2016, The Washington Post.
People are being downright unkind to an Ethiopian swimmer, body-shaming him for having what, in one of the more charitable comments, is called a dad bod.
Robel Kiros Habte swam in the men's 100-meter freestyle heats on Tuesday and finished last in the three-swimmer heat.
Overall, he finished last among the 59 competitors in the eight heats with a time of 1 minute 4.95 seconds. Habte confessed that his personal best was 59.08 seconds; Australia's Kyle Chalmers won Olympic gold with a time of 47.9 seconds.
Ecadf, an Ethiopian news site, called him "out of shape." Others coldly called him "Robel the Whale." Habte is 5 feet 9 and weighs 179 pounds. Chalmers, for instance, is 6-4 and weighs 194.
Others noted that Habte is the son of the president of the country's swimming federation.
Whatever brought him to Rio, the 24-year-old college student was a crowd favorite and was pretty happy just to be there.
"I wanted to do something different for my country, that's why I chose swimming," he told Reuters. "Everybody, every day you wake up in Ethiopia, you run. Not swimming. But I didn't want to run, I wanted to be a swimmer. It didn't matter where I finished."

Space Exploration & Cinema Collide in Mesmerizing 'ASTRO//SPLICE'
by Alex Billington
November 4, 2014
Source: Vimeo
"Rage, rage against the dying of the light." It's almost time. Christopher Nolan's Interstellar arrives in theaters this week, and I hope that means that everyone has space exploration on their mind. If not that, at least some crazy theories about relativity and gravity and how the universe works. To give you brain an extra spin, Nelson Carvajal has cooked up a video called ASTRO//SPLICE, sort of a mesmerizing five minute combination of footage from Contact and archival space exploration/NASA footage. If anything, I hope that Interstellar does fuel the discussion on space exploration and get more people to dream and wonder about our place in the universe. More content like this will only keep the discussion going. Check it out and enjoy.
Here's the video essay ASTRO//SPLICE, made for The Cinema Culture's "Interstellar Outer-Body" series:
ASTRO//SPLICE was conceived and edited by Nelson Carvajal, a filmmaker/editor working out of Chicago. The video was created for The Cinema Culture's "Interstellar Outer-Body" film program at the Hairpin Arts Center in Chicago, Illinois. It first premiered there on November 1st, 2014 - for more info visit this site. The original description for the series: "Cinema Culture crash lands into AnySquared at Hairpin for a program presenting sci-fi cinema and performances. 'Interstellar Outer-Body' is a celestial experience that explores the transcendence through space and time beyond the cosmos and out of the psyche." There are a number of great space speeches, many from JFK which is my guess as to why he's included in this, and I hope a little visual stimulation can inspire us all to keep exploring the cosmos. And go see Interstellar on the big screen.

I for one am NOT a skank.
I do not sleep around nor dress half naked.
I'm asking because I'm putting together an outfit.
I have a jean jacket, black leggings and red toms. I want to wear a gray crop top but I'm afraid of getting lectured by my parents about why I look "skanky."
It's not even that short, it covers a large majority of my stomach, (if you pull the leggings up a bit.)
I LOVE crop tops. They are one of my favorite shirts to wear. I hardly EVER walk out of my house in one. When I do wear one usually, it's with a sweater and sweatpants, usually covering it up. I also drive myself to school so I don't need to take the bus either...
I don't know what do you think? I mean, if it's socially acceptable for a guy to have his ass crack hanging out, why can't I wear a damn crop top?
Most Helpful Guy
To be honest, the only time I might think less of a woman when it comes to clothing is when it's super freezing cold out yet, they're out in super short dresses and barely one full body part is covered. I respect them nonetheless because I owe respect to everyone.00|00|0
Most Helpful Girl
That actually sounds like a really cute outfit. However, with the way schools are run (assuming you're talking about high school) you'll probably get in trouble / reprimanded / told to change if you wear it to school for quote unquote distracting boys.
since y'know, apparently boys have no will power.22|00|0

A screenshot from "Harriet Tubman Sex Tape," a video that has Russell Simmons in trouble.
Russell Simmons got into trouble over a very un-PC video called "Harriet Tubman Sex Tape" that appeared on his YouTube channel, All Def Digital (ADD). While Simmons can't necessarily be held personally responsible for every piece of content on All Def Digital, he specifically endorsed "Harriet Tubman Sex Tape" in a (now deleted) tweet, calling it the "Funniest thing I've ever seen."
The video shows Harriet Tubman scheming with a male black slave about how they will get their freedom. The man then hides in a closet with a video camera, so he can film Harriet Tubman getting it on with a white slave owner. It's implied that Harriet Tubman went on to use the sex tape as black mail to free over 300 slaves (instead of the repeated rescue missions and use of the Underground Railroad—a series of safe houses—which the actual Harriet Tubman used).
The "Harriet Tubman Sex Tape" video was taken down quickly, but not before Mediaite snagged it. Simmons apologized in a post on globalgrind.com, stating that:
"My first impression of the Harriet Tubman piece was that it was about what one of actors [sic] said in the video, that 162 years later, there's still tremendous injustice. And with Harriet Tubman outwitting the slave master? I thought it was politically correct. Silly me. I can now understand why so many people are upset."
The controversy comes at an inopportune time for Simmons, who is in a battle of open letters with CNN anchor Don Lemon regarding the source of the problems in the African American community. Simmons has argued that fairer treatment via government is the answer, while Lemon has called on black people to be more dignified. The "Harriet Tubman Sex Tape" controversy is at best a distraction from Simmons' message, and may serve to undermine the reach of some of his valid and thoughtful points.

A crash on the Commerce bypass killed a Hall County man and left two others with serious injuries.
A pickup truck pulling a flatbed trailer loaded with mulch overturned on U.S. Highway 441 near Georgia Highway 98 shortly before 9:30 a.m. Monday.
The wreck killed the driver, Israel Contreras-Alvarez, 57, of Flowery Branch, a radio operator for the Athens post of the Georgia State Patrol said this morning.
Two passengers were taken to Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville with serious injuries, the operator said. She identified them as Oscar Vallejo, 37, of Gainesville, and Israel Contreras-Partida, 30, of Dade City, Fla.
The truck was heading north when the trailer began to sway, and the vehicle went into a ditch and overturned, the patrol said.

Because skin contact with the sap from Wild Parsnip can result in a severe and painful rash, it is important to know what this plant looks like and how to identify it.
Wild parsnip, an aggressive member of the carrot family, is most often found in open, sunny areas, this plant begins its first year as a basal rosette or cluster of low growing leaves about 6 inches long. After a year or more, wild parsnip grows a single thick, hairy stem reaching 4-5 feet at maturity with many large flat clusters of yellow-green, 5- petaled flowers that bloom in early June to late July. Seeds and flowers may occur at the same time on wild parsnip. After flowering, the plant turns brown and dies.
Skin contact with the sap from this plant can be dangerous if exposed to sunlight. This combination may result in a severe and painful skin rash similar to a blistery sunburn. Wear long sleeves, long pants and gloves whenever there is potential for contact with plant sap or juices. It is also advised that you work at dusk to prevent exposure to sunlight if you come in contact with plant sap. If you do come into contact with sap, wash clothing or the contacted area thoroughly. For more information, see Wild Parsnip.

Nikolai Naumov
|Nikolai Naumov
28 May 1838
Tobolsk, Russian Empire
|22 December 1901
(aged 63)
Tomsk, Russian Empire
Nikolai Ivanovich Naumov (Russian: Никола́й Ива́нович Нау́мов; 28 May 1838 – 22 December 1901) was a Russian writer.
He studied at Saint Petersburg University, and in 1859 his works began to be published in local papers. In 1861 he participated in student disturbances associated with reforms in the Russian empire, for which he was expelled from the University. He moved to Siberia, where in 1863 he held minor posts in government departments. Some of his works were published in the journal Sovremennik.
Nikolai's works were mainly related to the subject of Siberian peasants after the Emancipation reform of 1861. Critics say that he shared populist views on the peasant commune. Among his most famous works are the collection of short stories and essays Strength Breaks the Straw (1874), and the collections of essays Cobweb (1880), Mountain Idyll and Sarbyska.
In 1897, in Saint Petersburg, his collected works were published in two volumes. He died in Tomsk in 1901.

Top 20 nicknames in UFC history
Nicknames are to be received and worn as a badge of honor. No
matter how absurd they are, it is one's job to make them
sound tough and are a sign of one's own formidable nature.
One would think it's easier to do that with a moniker like
"The Natural Born Killer", but if Carlos Condit
hadn't won 27 of his 29 fights by finish then people would
laugh when his nickname was yelled by Bruce Buffer.
Basically, one has to live up to their nickname's edge or
surpass its inherent silliness. Here are the top 20 nicknames in
UFC history and the fighters forever tied to them.
#20: "Touchy"
With a last name like his, what else would be the nickname?
Andre "Touchy" Fili is the latest Team Alpha Male
prospect to enter the Octagon, win, and win by TKO. The 23 year old
recently debuted at UFC 166 against
alum Jeremy Larsen. "Touchy" took the featherweight
bout on about a week's notice while preparing for a local
fight where he would compete at welterweight. If you're
unfamiliar with those poundages, welterweights are 170 pounds and
featherweights are 145; meaning, Fili cut 30 pounds in less than
two weeks.
An impressive stoppage win after a nightmarish weightcut while
scrapping on the biggest stage on short notice. The nickname sounds
like a joke, but the fighter who carries it is deadly serious.
#19: "New York Bad Ass"
It's pretty simple. He's from New York and
he's a Bad Ass.
The former bodybuilder who made his grand UFC entrances sporting
a sparkly robe straight out of "The Nature Boy" Ric
Flair's wardrobe was an always entertaining character in all
10 of his Octagon appearances.
Not one to mince words or pull punches, Baroni scored his
biggest win in a 2002 KO over the UFC's first middleweight
champ Dave Menne at UFC 39. The "N.Y.B.A." took to the
top of the Octagon's cage to scream from the proverbial
mountain top that he was the best "eva!" Maybe not the
best, but the Long Island native was more than meets the eye as a
former NCAA Division I wrestler from Hofstra University and
graduated Central Michigan University with a degree in
#18: "The Law"
They call him "The Law". It sounds like a line from
a Clint Eastwood western. Somewhat surprising, the nickname
isn't for a former sheriff or even a judge. It's the
moniker that was most definitely earned by Greco-Roman wrestler
turned MMA fighter Matt Lindland.
If one doesn't already know, but athletes on a
country's Olympic team need to qualify for them and are not
simply appointed to them. For the former NCAA Division I wrestler
from the University of Nebraska, Lindland found his way onto the
2000 US Olympic team with the help of the court system. During the
Olympic trials' finals, Lindland lost to Keith Sieracki, but
Lindland protested that Sieracki tripped him, which is illegal in
Greco-Roman wrestling.
Lindland took his case to a federal district judge and a three
judge panel of the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which ruled
in favor of Lindland and granted a rematch. Lindland dominated the
rematch 9-0. From there, "The Law" went to Sydney,
Australia for the 2000 Games and won a silver medal 76 kg, which
was 1 of 3 medals the US Greco-Roman team won that Olympics.
#17: "McLovin"
If one bumped into Dustin Hazelett on the street, one might
guess he excels in math competitions, but not cagefighting. Yes,
the owner of two of the slickest submission finishes in UFC history
looks more like a mathlete than a Brazilian jiu-jitsu blackbelt.
And, Hazelett agrees as he went by "McLovin" due to a
vague similarity in look to the nerdy high schooler in
With a t-shirt on and going about his day, the 6'1"
stringbean known to Octagon enthusiasts as "McLovin"
would never be confused with a professional fighter. It's
just how the Kentucky native naturally looks. Meanwhile, with a
t-shirt off and in the cage or on a wrestling mat,
"McLovin" is a lanky, muscular taut, tap or snap artist
with back-to-back Submission of the Night wins in 2008 for equally
skillful armbars.
Unassuming looking fighters like Hazelett are the reason why you
should never judge a book by its cover or let your mouth get ahead
of itself when out at a bar.
#16: "Rampage"
It's such a good nickname that it's completely
erased a very interesting first name. Quinton is a great name.
It's a fun name to say and can be shortened to
"Quint". What about Q? Who doesn't want a friend
they can call Q? Ok, ok. "Rampage" it is.
The former UFC light-heavyweight champion Quinton
"Rampage" Jackson was a bodyslamming force in the Pride
ring and a knockout puncher in the UFC cage. Over in Japan,
"Rampage" did rampage the competition going 18-5 with
almost all of his wins coming by KO/TKO. The most famous of these
is the powerbomb KO of Ricardo Arona in June 2004.
The biggest wins in Jackson's career came in both
organizations and were against the same UFC Hall of Famer. While
pretty much everyone in the UFC couldn't stop Chuck Liddell,
"Rampage" did it twice. The first was a brutal TKO in
2003 in Pride and four years later "Rampage" one punch
KOed Liddell to win the UFC strap at UFC 71. "Rampage"
was the first and last man to beat Liddell in that span of
#15: "Girl-Rilla"
Liz Carmouche was a lot of "firsts" in the UFC.
"Girl-Rilla" was the first woman ever to walkout to
fight in the Octagon, first female challenger for a UFC title,
first lady to headline a UFC pay-per-view and/or event, and first
woman to get a second fight in the UFC to name a few. Besides the
gender barriers, Carmouche was the first openly gay fighter to do
absolutely anything in the UFC. Basically, Carmouche is an MMA
fighting Jackie Robinson every time she has done something this
The former Marine Corps helicopter electrician who did three
tours of duty in the Middle East is also a helluva cagefighter. At
29 years old with a pro record of 9-3, "Girl-Rilla" is
tough as nails a penchant for ground and pounding her opponents
into oblivion. Carmouche's groundbreaking UFC 157 title fight
with champ Ronda Rousey did end in a loss for the
"Girl-Rilla", but before that she put Rousey in a near
face-crushing rear naked choke. Carmouche did better against the
champ than anybody and got back to her winning ways with a TKO
finish of Jessica Andrade in July.
#14: "Jacare"
It's an alligator. Technically, a caiman, which is a
smaller alligator in South and Central America. And, Ronaldo Souza
has embrace his nickname to the point that after he wins does his
trademark alligator dance. Seriously, he has a celebration dance
for himself and his nickname.
"Jacare", the fighter, is an exceptional BJJ
blackbelt of the highest caliber and the middleweight is becoming a
scary striker. "Jacare", the nickname, is fun to say
and is pretty cool when translated. There's an odd trend
among Brazilian fighters that they have a nickname that sounds
intriguing in the native Portuguese, but is quite mundane when
translated to English. For instance, Gabriel "Napao"
Gonzaga. Pronounced "nuh"-"pow"; means
"nose". Seriously.
The imagery for "Jacare" is great and accurate as
well. You don't want to let an alligator to get a hold of you
because they'll pull you under water, death roll you, and
you're done. Don't let Souza get ahold of you either.
The former Strikeforce middleweight champ with 14 wins by
submission and countless BJJ titles will probably do worse to you
than an alligator.
#13: "Cro Cop"
Not as much a nickname as a statement of fact, but it's
only one small piece of the incredible life story of Mirko
Filipovic. "Cro Cop" is short for Croatian cop, which
Filipovic was when he started his kickboxing career. And not just a
police officer, Filipovic was a member of Croatia's elite
police special forces tactical unit called "Lucko",
which specialized in anti-terrorism. That wasn't his only
high falutin membership, Filipovic was a member of the Croatian
Parliament from 2003 to 2007.
Politician, special forces, professional kickboxer, and prolific
MMA fighter. Amazingly enough, "Cro Cop" is still
racking up wins in the kickboxing world at 39 years old including
the K-1 World Grand Prix 2012 championship. Sadly for the multitude
of "Cro Cop" fans worldwide, Filipovic did not perform
at his best inside the Octagon. Filipovic's fame comes from
his left high kick, which tore up the scene in Japan while
"Cro Cop" fought in Pride. Filipovic's greatest
MMA achievement was the 2006 Pride World Grand Prix Open Weight
#12: "Rowdy"
She definitely didn't need to, but she did ask
"Rowdy" Roddy Piper if she had his blessing on carrying
the famed moniker. And, Piper gave it to her because she's
earned it and if he didn't, Ronda Rousey would have broken
his damn arm.
The undefeated and undisputed UFC women's bantamweight
champion has a nickname that is both appropriate and alliterative
and to that we should all thank her. Thus far, the
"Rowdy" one has been an unstoppable wrecking ball as a
fighter and as a personality both in and out of the cage. First
things first, Rousey has won all 7 of her MMA bouts by armbar
within the first round, 5 within the first minute.
"Rowdy" is legit dangerous.
Outside of the cage, the former 2008 US Olympic bronze medalist
is an interviewer's dream as Rousey will rawly cut down an
opponent or an idea without any phony diplomacy. The wins and the
words caught everyone's attention including UFC President
Dana White who finally understood the appeal of women's MMA
because of "Rowdy". And she's still turning heads
as Rousey is a coach on this season's
Ultimate Fighter and is filming back-to-back action movies:
"The Expendables 3" and "Fast & Furious
#11: "The American Gangster"
Nicknames are given, not assigned by oneself, but Chael P.
Sonnen is the exception to that rule.
For the lion's share of his career, Sonnen operated
moniker-less. The fighting pride of West Linn, Oregon, began MMA
way back in 1997 during his time as an NCAA Division I All-American
wrestler at the University of Oregon and his time on the
Greco-Roman wrestling circuit. By the early 2000's, Sonnen
chose MMA over pursuing an Olympic team spot and fought all over
the country and went to Japan in smaller shows. Sonnen did make it
to the UFC, but was cut after going 1-2 in 2006. Sonnen made a
resurgence in the WEC and the UFC in 2008 to 2010.
But what made Sonnen earn the nickname "The American
Gangster", which he self-appointed was his campaign for the
UFC middleweight title shot against then champ Anderson Silva.
Often forgot, Sonnen did score the requisite wins needed for a
title shot by beating Dan Miller, Yushin Okami, and Nate Marquardt
in back-to-back-to-back unanimous decisions. Nevertheless,
"The American Gangster" emerged as an unrelenting
mouthpiece that captured a sport's attention and then some as
he attacked the seemingly unstoppable champ with words for a year
and backed them up in the cage for 23 minutes until Silva caught
Sonnen in a sophisticated submission.
#10: "Tank"
No fighter has ever embodied their nickname more than David
Abbott. The man was a fixture in the early Octagon days competing
in more UFC tournaments (5) than anyone else. The goatee, the beer
belly, and a ferocious punching attack that looked more appropriate
in a saloon slugfest than a boxing gym. In short, he was a bad dude
with a bad attitude who blasted and flattened his first two
opponents as one would guess a tank would.
Abbott was a cagefighting cultural icon well before Chuck
Liddell took the mantle in the 2000's. Despite their haymaker
throwing style, "Tank" and Liddell were both at one
time collegiate wrestlers, but those skills rarely showed in any of
their Octagon appearances. They both had the allure of street
toughs who could win a punching duel in every back alley of
Abbott's fame came from his style and from his one-liners.
Joking about losing to Dan Severn and his moustache, "I felt
like I was being raped by Freddie Mercury". As if Archie
Bunker could deliver a knockout punch.
#9: "The Smashing Machine"
It was his gameplan, his insightful documentary, and maybe a
future infomercial for a garbage disposal unit he invents.
One of the original prized prospects inside the Octagon,
"The Smashing Machine" Mark Kerr won back-to-back
heavyweight tournaments at UFC 14 and UFC 15 in 1997. The former
NCAA Division I National Champion wrestler from Syracuse University
was a natural winner in MMA with his hulking physique, unstoppable
takedowns, and brutal hammerfists. Kerr was a force of nature who
became ingratiated into the MMA world winning a Vale Tudo
tournament in Brazil, winning tournaments in the UFC, winning bouts
in Pride, and even winning tournaments and superfights in ADCC
World Submission Wrestling.
"The Smashing Machine's" story took a nose
dive more or less after the highest highs mentioned above, but Kerr
was a mythical figure for a few years at the end of the 90's.
"The Smashing Machine" was the brightest burning star
and was pretty much gone as quickly as he came. What does remain
from his short time at the top, the
"The Smashing Machine" documentary
by HBO which was ahead of its time and is still better than by far
the majority of articles done by major news outlets.
#8: "The Janitor"
A nickname coined by US Olympic wrestling great Dave Schultz. It
doesn't get better than that.
Originally, an anecdote about Vladimir Matyushenko in his youth
when he was the Soviet National Wrestling Champion. In a meet
between the US and the Russians in Siberia, Matyushenko wiped the
floor with the vaunted Americans including Olympic gold medalist
Kevin Jackson, but it was the day before they first saw Matyushenko
cleaning the mats before a practice. Thus, Schultz joked his US
team wasn't beat by a Russian wrestler, but a common
The nickname "The Janitor" does have a sense of
imagery that Matyushenko is going to "clean the cage"
with his opponent's face or something. And that does sound
tough, which is good. But the story behind the nickname, a young
wrestler who beat gold medal winning Olympians and earned the
respect of Schultz. Now, that's 1,000,000x tougher of a
#7: "The Natural"
First, it's a classy moniker. There's no blood or
guts or xtreme-ness involved here. It's the type of nickname
that would befit any athlete from the golden days of American
civilization. A black and white era nickname, a Jimmy Stewart
nickname. It's timeless and so is its owner UFC Hall of Famer
Randy Couture.
Possibly a reference to the odd and dramatic baseball movie,
"The Natural", starring Robert Redford as a pitcher who
becomes a hitter, and, seemingly, comes back from the dead.
Nevertheless, "The Natural" fits Couture as the
ever-evolving and never stale athletic monster that was the 3x UFC
heavyweight champion and 2x UFC light-heavyweight champion.
Couture did it all. He was in the Army, he boxed in the army, he
3x NCAA Division I All-American wrestler in college at Oklahoma
State University, he was a 3x US Olympic alternate in Greco-Roman
wrestling, he started MMA at 34 and won the UFC 13 heavyweight
tournament that first night, he won the UFC heavyweight strap two
fights later, and so on and so on and so on until at 43 years old
he won the UFC heavyweight strap again. Couture retired at 47 in
2011 and there's got to be a voice in the back of
everyone's mind that the old man could still put a hurting on
half the fighters who step inside the Octagon.
#6: "Kimbo Slice"
He looked exactly like a "Kimbo Slice".
Most assumed or hoped that was his given name, but Kevin
Ferguson was pretty much an average guy turned MMA celebrity.
That's presupposing an "average guy" is some
jacked dude with gold teeth and the most glistening yet glorious
beard one could ever imagine.
Born in the Bahamas and raised in South Florida, Kimbo Slice
became an internet icon in his mid-30's from a
series of
street fights he won that were recorded and uploaded to
Youtube. Somehow, everyone and their mother had seen Kimbo
dropping other wannabe street toughs in parking lots and in
backyards. Kimbo Slice made the bar fight fans into MMA fans for a
short while as Ferguson tried out the caged sport.
A short stint on
Ultimate Fighter 10 followed by an even shorter stint in the
UFC, Ferguson was not meant for professional fighting with his
limited background and a low desire to really learn the martial
arts needed to be successful. But, Kimbo Slice was meant for the
backyard brawls that he became famous for. Ferguson helped
indirectly define the UFC and its fighters by showing that a mean
looking guy with one good punch stands absolutely no chance against
the pro MMA fighters who truly earned their spot inside the
#5: "The Axe-Murderer"
There were several prolific champions in Pride history like
Fedor Emelianenko at heavyweight and Takaknori Gomi at lightweight,
but none was more beloved than Brazilian knockout artist Wanderlei
"The Axe-Murderer" Silva. The heavy-handed barrages of
Silva netted him 22 wins with 15 knockouts while fighting in the
premiere Japanese organization, which are both Pride records.
Since re-entering the UFC, Silva has lost more than he's
won, but "The Axe-Murderer" still knows how to
throwdown for the fans by winning 5 Fight of the Night awards.
Silva's most recent Octagon performance was back in his old
Japanese stomping grounds where "The Axe-Murderer" and
Brian Stann teed off on each other like Rock 'em Sock
'em robots with Silva earning a wild KO near the end of the
second round.
Watch a frenzied exchange from that bout or one of the many from
his tangles with "Rampage" Jackson in Pride and
you'll fully understand why Silva's called "The
#4: "The Mexicutioner"
It makes one smile just to say it.
Known for his granite chin and his Octagon slobberknockers, Joey
Beltran took a well worn nickname and made it his own. Combining
the fighting Mexican spirit of his ancestors and the grim imagery
of an executioner, and, TA-DA, Beltran will forever be "The
Mexicutioner". Beltran would be smart to copyright that
nickname as no doubt Robert Rodriguez will catch wind of it someday
and realize how much better it is than "Machete".
"The Mexicutioner" became a heavy fan-favorite in
the UFC for a series of fights that highlighted his ability to take
punishment as well as his ability to give it back. Specifically,
his heavyweight bouts with Pat Barry, Aaron Rosa, Stipe Miocic, and
the Fight of the Night with Matt Mitrione. In 2012, "The
Mexicutioner" dropped to 205 and scored earned his second
Fight of the Night bonus in a unanimous decision loss to James Te
#3: "Uncle Creepy"
Spoiler alert: in no way does the story behind the name make it
less weird, but it's altogether harmless and somehow fitting
for its owner.
A friend's son called UFC flyweight Ian McCall,
"Uncle Creepy", in front of friends and family alike
and the name stuck, obviously. If someone had to wear the nickname
and do so with pride, it would be the tattooed, mustachioed
fearless fighter McCall.
"Uncle Creepy" is known for that name, for his
Rollie Fingers mustache, and that he's one of the top 125
pound fighters to grace the Octagon. At 12-4-1, McCall was a 135er
with a solid record of 8-2, but, after battling some demons in his
life, "Uncle Creepy" got serious and made the weightcut
to flyweight. McCall would win 3 fights in a row over some of the
best the division had to offer and made his UFC debut as part of a
mini-tournament to decide the company's first flyweight
McCall fought three razor thin decisions against Joseph
Benavidez and UFC flyweight champ Demetrious Johnson before earning
his first Octagon win in his second Fight of the Night at UFC
#2: "The Korean Zombie"
Such a popular nickname, UFC President Dana White doesn't
ever refer to Chan Sung Jung by his given one. Actually, it's
pretty rare to see or hear anyone reference him as Jung because
when given the opportunity to call someone "The Korean
Zombie" one must take it.
The Korean bit is probably from Jung being born in Pohang, South
Korea. Why a zombie? Because the dude can eat a punch and keep on
moving forward. Amazingly, Jung was already known as "The
Korean Zombie" before the WEC 48 war with Leonard Garcia.
That epic clash proved the nickname true enough. Jung went 1-1 in
the WEC before going 3-1 in the UFC.
Inside the Octagon, "The Korean Zombie" has been
phenomenal to watch. In the rematch with Garcia, Jung pulled off
the first ever "Twister" submission in the UFC. In his
second and third fights, "The Korean Zombie" scored a 7
second knockout followed by a 4th round D'arce choke. Three
fights, three finishes, 4 bonuses (2 Fight of the Night, 1
Submission of the Night, 1 Knockout of the Night).
In his 4th fight, "The Korean Zombie" went
toe-to-toe with UFC featherweight champ Jose Aldo until Jung
somehow popped his shoulder out while throwing a punch. As one
would expect, "The Korean Zombie" tried to continue
fighting, but Aldo pounced when he saw Jung was hurt.
#1: "Sexyama"
A nickname only the internet could have created. Or more like
observed and noted.
Yoshihiro Akiyama was an accomplished Judo player who became an
MMA star in his native Japan. Also, he was born with the looks, the
demeanor, the fashion sense, and the confidence to be called
"Sexyama". SEXYAMA! Yes, thousands if not millions of
grown men on the dedicated MMA messageboards the world over
declared what we've all been thinking while watching Akiyama
strut with his perfect tan and well-maintained hair – that man is
Like an Asian Burt Reynolds circa the 70's, men want to be
him and women want to be with him. Let's be honest,
it's 2013, there are plenty of men who want to be with
"Sexyama" too. Whether its his frosted tips look or his
impeccable suits or his romantic entrances to the Octagon or, most
likely, his prolific amount of modeling pictorials,
"Sexyama" lives up to his name.

Executive Selection Screening Package
Matching Capability and Values
Exceptional performance in one role is not a predictor of success in the next. Impressive resume aside, how do you know if an executive can perform and succeed in your executive suite?
Our executive leadership selection screening package will help you find an executive leader who has both the cognitive capacity to realize your strategic plans and a value set aligned with your organization's culture.
To ensure an executive leadership match, we will assess and analyze:
- Your organization's 3 to 5 year strategic intent.
- The complexity level of the executive role to determine requisite cognitive capacity called for by the role,
- The executive candidate(s) current cognitive capacity,
- Forecasted candidate cognitive capacity progression over time,
- Executive candidate(s) personal values, preference, and personality data.
Feedback and Reporting
Our feedback report includes our findings on role complexity and corresponding candidate cognitive capacity. The report narrative will discuss the strategic ramifications of each candidate's capacity relative to the role.
In addition to providing candidate current potential, each candidate's forecasted progression into the next level of complexity will be evident. This allows your board and executive team to forecast at what point in the future the candidate would be inclined to want to "take the business or function to a new level".
Also included is a summary of key values and personality data and their level of alignment with your culture and executive team.
A Rapid, Reliable Process
The process, which can take as little as s week, consists of:
- A telephone discovery process with board members, the CEO, and/or others who understand the scope of the executive role, the organization's current situation, and future strategy.
- A telephone interview with executive candidate(s). One hour per interview.
- Candidate completion of an online strength based leadership inventory.
- Analysis and report preparation.
- Delivery of a feedback report with recommendations
- A telephone feedback report debrief.
The Need for Due Diligence
Placement mistakes at the executive leadership level can take years to discover and rectify while your ability to deliver your strategy wanes. This is a situation where an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Call us to begin a reliable, science-based approach to executive selection screening today.

Tomei Molybendum Grease
Product Details
Molybendum Grease -
TOMEI Reinforced Bolts
TOMEI's unique rotation processing is the method of fabricating a screw by compression, which is done by inserting a bolt material between rotating dices and pressurizing it. Compared to the cut processing that cuts off a crystal structure, the TOMEI process makes the bolt structure fiber-like and turns it into more precise and harder piece of metal. TOMEI reinforced bolts are produced with rotating heat-treated ChromeMoly steel which increases its quality and accuracy, tensile strength, shock strength, surface hardness, and durability more than the conventional strengthening bolt.

Whs Movie : Slumdog Millionaire
Slumdog Millionaire (2008) – Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus
Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus is shown when Jamal (the lead character) is asked a question i.e
The British architect Frederick Stevens designed which famous building in India?
Is it: A) The Taj Mahal
B) Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus
C) India Gate
D) Howrah Bridge on the game show for sixty-four thousand rupees
It was a significant location because during the scene , in his head he was going down the memory lane where he was calling out to Latika (love interest ) but ended up being held by the terminus inspectors and later escaping the cruel wrath of inspectors . This scene ended up with Jamal winning sixty-four thousand rupees in the movie as the correct answer was Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus

I picked "c" because it's not my choice. It's the bride's choice.
She should wear what feels right to her.
I see nothing wrong with a colorful dress. It's the norm in some cultures.
Vera Vang has had quite a few colored dresses. link
So have other designers.
I think there is nothing wrong with the concept.
I personally applaud anyone who is bold enough to wear one while it's considered untraditional in their culture.
I don't know if I would personally wear a colored dress.
Maybe a pastel pink. I truly don't know. That's even if I get married. :P It's too early for me to say. n_n22|00|0

Any suggestions on how to handle this?

well..for starters don't wear a shoe with any kind of heel on it (which sucks if you like wearing heels)...other than that...you should be fine...

So, I've been taking 4 college courses this summer and I'm getting kind of stressed out. I'm getting assignment on top of assignment and it's been difficult for me to actually do a really good quality job on every assignment because I feel so overwelmed with work. The quarter is 8 weeks long so there's not a whole lot of time to get things done. Just looking at the amount of things on my to do list is stressing me out. Does anyone have any tips to help me calm down and focus on my work?
Most Helpful Guy
Go to a park and sit for awile. Stress is all in your head. I get overwhelmed easy so what I do is think of the first thing you have to do. Take your time doing that then look at the next thing. The key is to not think about EVERTHING you have to do, instead look at each individual challenge. Hope this helps. Good luck!11|00|0

LOSTOCK aim to prove they are a different proposition to the one that was last in the Bolton Association nine years ago.
For a few seasons before they were suspended from the league in 2005 due to pitch problems, they struggled at the wrong end of the table.
After spending the last eight years in the Manchester Association, they are back and looking to give everyone a hard game.
Captain Geoff Earle said: "I get the feeling a couple of teams remember us from last time when we were at the bottom of the league.
"I think we have surprised teams and we will just look to be competitive, which we are."
Lostock have developed a culture of fighting over the last decade, steadfastly refusing to die despite desperate times.
More than half the current team have gone through the whole experience of leaving the Association for the Manchester Association, playing home games at Haydock Cricket Club for the last six years, and having the threat of folding hanging over them throughout much of those last eight years.
That they survived is down to the dedication and commitment of their officials and players who were determined to see out the bad times and build a better future for the club.
They have been rewarded with an impressive new ground, which is part of a purpose-built sporting complex currently being built on Chew Moor Lane in Lostock, and a team with a fighting spirit, an appreciation of being back in the Association and a dedication to their club.
Lostock are at home to Darcy Lever today in the league and Bury tomorrow in the Cross Cup, the latter being the last of the two trophies they won during their 55 years in the Association split over two spells.
Both weekend games will take place at Haydock where they will continue to play their home games before moving to the new ground next year.
They had a flying start to the season, beating Worsley before losing the next two against Blackrod and Atherton.
And Earle is happy with the account they have given of themselves so far.
"It's a bit of a step up in standard this season and we are looking to be competitive," he said.
"We have got a point to prove. We have really been looking forward to the season since we finished last year.
"It is massively exciting and a big challenge.
"We got a good win against a team we knew from last year in the Manchester Association. A couple of errors cost us in the games we lost and we were in both those games until the end.
"The atmosphere in the dressing room is absolutely brilliant. There is a great team ethic and that is probably what has kept us going.
"Six or seven of the lads in the team were playing the last time we were in the Association.
"They were all 17 then and playing in the firsts and seconds.
"We're a young team, most of the players are between 20 and 28.
"Danny Cockton was first-team captain when we left. He's still playing and not old at 33.
"Luqmann Issa has been playing for 25 years and most of the rest of the team have been with the club for 10 to 15 years.
"David Flanagan is going to be our 18-over bowler most weeks and his brother, Peter, is one of our key batsmen coming in at number four.
"We bat down to 11 and we have a solid bowling attack.
"We have paid an overseas amateur in Aaron Mullins, an Australian who is a batting all-rounder, and we got a coach in last year, Shahid Mahboob."
On the ambitions and expectations for the club and the team, Earle said: "No one ever complained about playing home games at Haydock, everyone got on with it and did what they had to do.
"We have tried to keep that progress going on the pitch, there's a great atmosphere and the ground's well under way.
"It's all positive and we're looking to continue progressing.
"Coming back to the Association has given us that extra lift to push and focus everyone."

The Penguins and Senators kick off the first game of the first round tonight in Pittsburgh to a sold-out crowd. The media hype surrounding the series will finally be put to the test. In case you've missed it, allow me to fill you in.
The Ottawa Media has opted to take the "Sid should get hurt/the Penguins are pathetic for taking a loss to Philly" approach." In other words, they're just scared to see the Penguins again because this time around they know it's not going to be easy. Ottawa's locker room has been surrounded by motivational pictures of last year's final handshake in efforts to fire up the team.
Apparently they need it...
What they definitely lack however is faith in a goaltender. While Pittsburgh has seen Marc-Andre Fleury really come unto his own since returning from the 9 weeks of rehabilitation, Ottawa has not been so lucky. This article right here says it all. Notice headline: Martin Gerber gets chance to prove his net worth to Senators. I think I speak for a lot of Penguins fans when I say Fleury has already proved himself to be healthy. Now he has to prove he can take the Pens to the cup.
In any case, I guess we can expect the Gerber Baby in net tonight.
There has also been some instances in which the Ottawa media has put a "hit" on, a bounty, for Sidney Crosby. Perhaps they feel if they're without a captain than so should the Penguins. If Pittsburgh took that approach during the regular season, then Laraque/Ruutu would've been suspended for life and about 15 captains would be on the IR right now.
Oh yeah - and never mind the fact that Pittsburgh more or less won the Atlantic Division without their captain. Although I'd hate to see the team lose one of their star players (notice: 'one of their'), Ottawa can do their worst and it would only make Pittsburgh stronger.
That about does it for now - feel free to join in the Open Thread at Pensburgh.com It should be up around 6:00. Until then set your watches : 7pm in Pittsburgh.
