Not quite sure where best to post this but I hope people see it and can help!
Someone I know has said to me that 'people need a great amount of classical training before they can handle the challenges of jazz harmony, playing and improvisation.'
Is this true?? Are there not jazzers who learn their craft without a high level of classical training first?
I know next to nothing about jazz so I'm hoping someone here can help.

I'm loving this new video of Wendy Rowe showing Burberry's brilliant Cat Eyeliner pen (that also comes in brown, which we all know is pretty tricky to find in a liquid eyeliner pen). I use liquid eyeliner pens all the time at work as they just make flick eyeliner so easy, and now these are on my radar, I'll be needing both black and brown, please!
Summer Products to Bring out your South Beach Glow
Suddenly it's summer. London is definitely in the peak of the hot weather and it's making me think of ice creams, and beaches, and holidays and fresh watermelon eaten in the sun.
Since my ACTUAL summer holidays are a little while away, I need to make do with cheering myself up with some new summer makeup. Which luckily is easy as I've had a bunch of gorgeous new things arrive recently. It's not your typical summer fare either – oh sure there are bronzers, and fresh apricot shine lipsticks and blush the colour of fresh papaya, but there are also sparkling highlighters, candy coloured liners, shimmery obsidian dark eyeshadow and jungle green mascara for when you feel like taking the tropical vibe to – well, your lashes, actually.
Here's my pick of the summer crop so far:
NARS Bord de Plage Highlighting and Bronzing Palette – this is heaven in a makeup compact. The new summer collection from NARS reformulates their classic bronzers, Laguna and Casino (which are ALWAYS in my kit), and the new version has no shimmer. Which I'm pretty excited by, as sometimes, like when doing male grooming, you don't want shimmer when you bronze someone up. Contouring is also a zero shimmer proposition (I do believe we have discussed this before on MM – contouring in general is something that needs to be handled with extreme care).
This NARS palette not only has the two new bronzers, but four delicious new powder highlighters in shades ranging from peach to gold to copper. You will literally never need to buy another highlighter again. And let's discuss the packaging shall we? It's tortoiseshell. Metallic tortoiseshell print. Gorgey-worgey and super chic.
Sisley's Phytoblush Twist in number 3
The sweetest, domed stick blush in a wind up, zebra print case – it's the colour of a ripe rockmelon and is guaranteed to make you feel like Brigitte Bardot lounging beachside in the South of France (instead of sweating on the tube in rush hour, which, let's be real is more likely where you'll be wearing it). I love the feel of it as it melts into the skin and gives a just touched by the sun hint of colour. Perfect to complement my (soon to be) new back from the beach tan!
Chanel Ombre Première eyeshadow range – The Chanel eyeshadow range has just been totally reformulated and it's an extensive collection of cream and powder eyeshadows that you can layer or wear alone. I'm currently obsessed with the Silver Pink cream one in this range, and was thrilled to see a new black cream version (816 Obscur), an update on my favourite but discontinued Mirifique from my beloved Chanel's Ombre d'Illusion range. This is what you want when you're doing a super glam smoky eye. The powder shadows come in an incredible range with golds, shimmering purples and cobalts as well as the more traditional flattering browns.
Kiko Milano Eyeliners – I'm totally obsessed with Kiko Milano's range of cheap, amazing makeup and I've been using their coloured eyeliners at work. A few weeks ago on a summer beauty shoot I used Kiko Smart Eyepencil in 805 Violet, and I also love their Lasting Precision Automatic Eyeliner in Turquoise 08 for just a jolt of colour on the eye with sheer skin and nude lips. Best of all, Kiko is so reasonably priced you can grab a basket and start collecting new kit products like candy! They're a life saver right before beauty shoots, let me tell you.
Chanel Inimitable waterproof mascara in 87 – it's green, hunter green. It's not too bright, or scary but it's definitely there, and it brings out every eye colour. Plus it's waterproof so ideal for long days of swimming as well as pool party nights. For some reason it makes me think of J Lo videos c 2001 (maybe because secretly I'd like to live in a J Lo video c. 2001.)
NARS Laguna Body Tint – another all-star winner from NARS' summer collection, this one is going straight in my kit. It has a slight amount of shimmer to it but not enough to make you feel like YOU should be in that J Lo video – it's not that tacky over blingy shimmer look of yore. It's also got a good tint to it, taking my pasta coloured legs to a believable shade of bronze in as long as it takes to rub it in, and it's scented with NARS' signature Mono de Tahiti scent. It has an SPF of 30 so not only does it give you a Haitian goddess colour, it protects you from the sun. This is definitely going with me on holidays.
Let's have some J Lo inspo, 'Love Don't Cost a Thing' from her 2001 album, 'On the 6'. If I can't get to Miami, Miami will have to come to me. I'm going to self tan myself now with my NARS Laguna Body Tint whilst imagining I'm in a Miami mega mansion wearing ridiculously oversized Gucci aviators, some major hair extensions and peach coloured lip gloss. BRB.
Bobbi Brown Hydrating Gel Cream
Bobbi Brown you are really floating my boat at the moment! I'm totally loving Bobbi Brown skincare.
It takes me ages (as in, ahem, years), to try a different moisturiser because at work THERE CAN BE NO SURPRISES! I need to know the products that I use work reliably on everyone, anytime. And they need to play nicely together as well. I don't want to moisturise and then add a sunscreen that pills up on the skin and goes weird, or that makes the foundation sit on top of the skin or make it look cakey and masky. And I'm certainly not going to drag a million products around either, so things that ALMOST make the cut just aren't an option.
Thus my skin bag is now really small as it's a tiny, perfect edit of products I love and that work amazingly well together. When another product is coming into the bag, it's a BIG DEAL. I test it on myself (and sometimes my teenage son who as it turns out is quite partial to a bit of luxury skincare), then it goes in with my older products and I start busting it out here and there to see how it performs. It doesn't replace my current favourite product for quite awhile until I'm definitely sure.
So if Bobbi Brown skincare has finally made it into the bag, it means it's good y'all! I've loved the BB Vitamin Enriched Face Base for years and now it's summer in London I'm rocking the BB Hydrating Gel Cream which is a water-based moisturiser, so perfect and cooling for the summer months. It plumps the skin and leaves it looking hydrated but not greasy. So even the oiliest skins love it as it plumps the surface but doesn't create more shine. It works well with mattifiers as well like MAC Matte and YSL Blur Perfector and basically provides the perfect base for makeup. My new skincare love.
Best Bronzers
Today is so incredibly warm and divine that only a post on my favourite bronzers seemed appropriate. If you want to feel like you're on a yacht, in a bikini drinking white wine whilst a man with a fake French accent narrates your every move, you've come to the right post.
It's that time of year when panicky unwrapping of winter white limbs ensues – legs that look like cheese sticks suddenly need to look like Victoria's Secret Angel legs, toned, and lithe and, well, toasty brown. Faces need to look similarly sunkissed (but totally natural, bien sûr).
Enter my favourite products to give you a honey sun-kissed visage – without the sun damage.
Chanel Soleil Tan de Chanel Bronze Universel – this is never, NEVER out of my kit. It's a cream bronzer with a very slight iridescence that adds shape to the face and when gently buffed on the cheeks and forehead (wherever the sun would hit) adds the prefect amount of radiant tan. It only comes in one colour, which weirdly (but thankfully!) looks great on almost all but the darkest skin tones. It's perfect for livening up winter pallid skin, or topping up a burgeoning (or fading) tan.
NARS Laguna Bronzer – Probably my favourite powder bronzer of all time, there is a reason why this one is a modern classic. It's the perfect shade of golden bronze, with a bit of shimmer. It's not too red, and not too grey. It's good on fair to medium skintones.
NARS Casino Bronzer – As above, but this is perfect for medium to deep skin tones
YSL Terre Saharienne in 3 – This is my absolute fave for dark skin tones as it adds warmth to the face but looks totally natural. I used this on a gorgeous Jamaican model last week (who had incredible deep black skin) and this added a touch of warmth without looking ashy.
Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Sheer Powder – I love this range of pressed powders (that come in a range of shades) for boys and kids as it looks totally natural and has no shimmer. It's also good for the red carpet for a perfectly subtle contour. (note – not Kontour)
So if you want the sunkiss without the sun damage, it's all to be found at the makeup counter. You can bask without the bake factor! Yacht and voice over man come separately.
My work – Pixie Lott for Fault Magazine
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of doing Pixie Lott for the cover of Fault magazine in London. Pixie has just released her new single, Baby, which is her first new single for three years.
It was a lovely job as Pixie not only has a dream face for makeup but is super nice, and very warm and relaxed.
I used quite a lot of Charlotte Tilbury's range on Pixie – I really love it for red carpet and celebrity (as well as private clients) as it just works. Quite often time is short with celebrities and you need products that are quick and easy to use and make them look amazing in the shortest time possible.
Pixie has beautiful skin so I just used Chanel Vitalumiere foundation on her with a damp sponge, and a bit of Tom Ford Traceless Foundation Stick in areas that needed more coverage.
She has amazing brows so I just filled in where needed with MAC Lingering pencil (always a classic!) On her eyes I wanted a rock n' roll smoky eye with some colour to give it some edge and also to work with the red background that the photographer, Rossella Vanon had chosen. I used MAC Embark eyeshadow in the crease to create some depth and then a mix of Charlotte Tilbury's Eyes to Mesmerise in Marie Antoinette (a golden oyster champagne colour) with Charlotte Tilbury's Eyes to Mesmerise in Veruschka, which is an incredible complex grey-taupe shade with some green to it, which was lovely on her eye colour.
I used MAC Smolder eye pencil all around her eyes, as well as NARS Filibuste black shadow stick on the outer corners, topped with MAC Carbon eyeshadow. Kat Von D black liquid liner and MAC Haute and Naughty mascara finished the look.
On her cheeks I used Charlotte Tilbury's Filmstar Bronze and Glow as well as MAC Fleur Power blush. Lips were lined with Charlotte Tilbury's Iconic Nude lipliner and finished with Charlotte Tilbury's Nude Kate lipstick which I have to say was the loveliest, easiest nude lip ever!

WOW Review by Zsolt
Price Value Quality
I just ordered my first bino for hunting as I just started as crossbow hunter.
First (as usually) I looked after which bino wIll serve me the best in quality/price. I find out that the Zen Ray is one of the best and in price-quality balance it's probably the best.
So I looked up on other websites how much is that. Finally I came onto their own website. Ppl usually prefer the Prime HD but was pricy for me so I went onto ED3. I found a demo and I ordered riht away.
I was exited biiig time!
Today I got my package and as I took it out from the box I was shocked.....they sent me a new Prime HD....
So I got bino which worth 880 for less....even the lowered sale price what they offer it for (619) is almost twice as much what I payed.
So I have to say Zen Ray has a really GOOD customer service. I just guess they did not have the bino what I ordered and didn't want make me unsatisfied with the long waiting so they just sent me the best bino what they have!
The Prime HD is wonderful as it's acceptable from this high end bino. I have non any field experience but I assume there will be no problem. I got a full life time no fault waranty on it so even if I drop it in the woods or in the car etc they wil fix it for the price of 10 (mailing expences).
So what is that what I think about the Zen Ray, and the Prime HD?
Perfect in any ways!
I wish to give 10 stars but not able....
THANK YOU ZEN RAY!! (Posted on 9/14/15)
excellent product Review by kupper
Price Value Quality
After about a month of reading various reviews and trying and many binoculars as I could get my hands on I finally settled on the zen-ray primes. I cant express my happiness and relief with this choice. I have had the chance to test these in 3 different states for hunting. The eye relief is exceptional, edge to edge clarity rivals binoculars 3x the price. My eyes don't get fatigued after hours of glassing, I see little to no chromatic aberration. These binoculars were the main reason I harvested my deer this year. I was able to spot a face in some thick brush at about 600 yards that my friends vortex vipers had a lot of trouble with and I ended up harvesting this deer because of the clarity these binoculars granted me. I will say that if you typically glass with they eye cups out and you have a narrow face then these are not the product for you. the eye cups are huge and uncomfortable but as i rarely use them its a small complaint. I have recommended this product to many friends who seem to be as thrilled about the product as i am. Thanks Zen-ray for making an incredible product that doesn't break the bank. (Posted on 5/1/15)
Razor Sharp Optics Review by jgk
Value Quality Price
I own several pair of costly high end binoculars used primarily for birding, and the Zen-Ray Prime HD 10x42 are consistently the binoculars I reach for first and usually remain the only binoculars used. I love how sharp and bright the image is and how quickly they snap into focus. I have both a pair Svaros, and Pentax ED's and if forced to have only one pair I would not hesitate to choose the Zen-Ray Prime HD 10x42. Love, love, love them! (Posted on 4/24/15)

I have had some time to use the prime hd 10x42 Now and I love them. I have had the Ed2 10x43 for several years and I am very happy I bought the primes they are much clearer and pick up low light better. I have several hunts planned for this year so I will give a detailed review after season when I have had hours and days of use behind them. But so far I am very pleased (Posted on 8/8/13)

I just recently purchased the Prime HDs and could be happier. They are a very solid built bino. The oculars are bigger than what I'm used to but nothing to be afraid of. The glass is awesome very bright and clear!! The best part is the price, I don't think you will find a better built bino in this price range. Keep them rolling Zen-Ray!! (Posted on 4/11/13)
Great Quality; Great Service; Great Price Review by Les
Value Quality Price
I'm not a hunter or devoted watcher. I just enjoy the outdoors and like having a top quality compact binocular. I did lots of research and blog reading (had never heard of Zen Ray) and was hesitant to spend the kind of money for Zeiss, Leica, Schw etc where much of the price recoups promotional costs. My reason for such conclusion is a thirty year old pair of Russian ex-navy 10 x 50's which I've never yet bettered for edge to edge clarity. The reviews persuaded me to buy Zen, without seeing (I live in France and they are only available in the US). The agent was genuinely responsive over several email queries. The binoculars are frankly more than I expected - they look good, they feel good and they view good. 5 Stars fully merited! (Posted on 3/18/13)

Brilliant optics Review by GP

The outdoor writers and experts always advise to buy the best optics you can afford and these are the best optics I can afford. Have used them for 2 days on mule deer hunts glassing extensively.

The Best Binoculars I have ever used Review by Mike
Quality Price Value
I do not usually bother writing reviews but Zen Ray deserve one here. I did have some concern buying Chinese made binoculars for this price, I read the reviews and thought it was worth the risk. The quality of the product is truely 5 star, the shipping was quick and the goods were well packaged. I have not had to use the customer service to claim the lifetime warranty yet and hope that I never do but if they stand true to their word, that is another attractive feature for the product. Thanks Zen Ray! (Posted on 10/4/12)
Not "alphas"? But they sure are "Prime"! Review by Osage Archer

I have new Z-R 10x42 Primes (I "bit the bullet" and upgraded from Z-R 10x43 ED3s). I also have new Swarovski 10x32 EL Travelers. Both these are very very good and I'm keeping them both - but if Zen-Ray ever makes a 10x32 Prime with the same optical and mechanical excellence as the 10x42 Primes and for around the same price, I'll be selling the Swaros and replacing them with the 10x32 Primes!

Great, but for some hand and eyes only Review by Arjun
Price Value Quality
The quality of the optics in the new Zen Ray is really wonderful. I have a Zen Ray ED2, and I can clearly see the optical improvement between this binoculars and that pair - they let in more light, and have a noticeably larger field of view.
However, I want to note that these binoculars are also quite a bit smaller than the Zen Ray ED2s. At first, this seems good, because they are lighter, and easier to hold. However, for people with larger hands - they may also be harder to stabilize, because the binoculars are shorter. For example, despite the fact that the Prime HD have better optical characteristics, I can see greater detail, at longer distances, with my ED2, simply because I can stabilize it better.
However, in contrast, my mother - who I bought these binoculars for - has much smaller hands, and she finds it perfectly simple to stabilize these binoculars - and much prefers them to my ED2.
In addition, the Prime HD appear to be better for people with smaller Interpupilliary distance. The images from the two eyes seem to merge better, and it is easier to look through the entire field of view.
My father and I found that, when looking through the edges of the field of view, we would often find black banding - because of the wild field. However, my mother, who has a much smaller IPD than us - faced no such trouble.
As such, I think this binoculars are optically wonderful. However, one must try them to see if they happen to fit with yourself - it is not a binoculars which can be adjusted to fit anyone. Nevertheless, for those who it does fit, I highly recommend it. (Posted on 9/29/12)
Excellent Glass Review by JNDEER
Price Value Quality
I am not a birder, but a hunter. I have owned mostly middle line binoculars (bushnell, Vortex, Nikon) all around the $500 mark. Paying $2000 for a pair of bino's was out of the question for me and my hope was to find a pair in my price range that could get me as close to the big boys as possible. This glass is super clear early to late. Glassing towards the sun proved helpful as the reflective coatings worked wonders. Comparing them directly to my Razor (non-HD), they are leaps and bounds better as far as seeing a crisp image all the time and espically in the early and late light glassing. (Posted on 8/25/12)
Big Bang for your Buck Review by Sportsman
Price Value Quality
To expand on my "Star" ratings:
Price - 5 Stars is accurate. I took advantage of a $150 off special. Is there a comparable pair of binoculars at this price point? Not that I can find.
Value - If it were an option, I would have assigned the Prime HDs Eight Stars in this category. Was I skeptical about paying even the discounted price for a pair of Chinese manufactured binoculars? Yes. Despite all the positive reviews, I had to see them and use them to believe the claims. For those who have the money to spend 4 to 5 times this price for German binos, go for it. Alphas set the standard, and the brand loyalty they inspire is priceless. Luckily, for those of us who are more value minded by necessity (saving for retirement, college education, etc), Zen Ray is in hot pursuit of excellence, as defined by the best of the best.
Quality - Yes, 4 Stars overall.
Optical Quality - Solid 5 Stars. But compared to Alpha binos, the tiny details of armour fit and finish are not where they should be - yet. Given the pace of evolution in their product line so far, my guess is that Zen Ray will continue to make improvements and compete with the big dogs.
Extra Category - Service - 5 Stars.
Let's face it, these days it's not easy to provide a human being to answer or return phone calls, especially if you are a huge company. Zen Ray is hitting a home run in this category, and I hope they continue to do so. (Posted on 8/24/12)
Prime HD 10x42 Review by Dennis UK
Value Quality Price
First Impressions.
Fit, feel, build quality is first rate, comparable to my SV 8.5x42, Zeiss FL 8x32, Nikon EDG 8x32.
Focus is smooth with no free play, the hinge mechanism is firm but not too tight and the dioptre ring has enough resistance so as not to be inadvertently moved.
Internally, my sample is spotlessly clean, no dust, grease, glue or visible oil. The quality of the internal finishing looks excellent.
Optical Quality.
In a word, Superb.
Bright, very sharp across the entire FOV, right to the edge.
Image definition and clarity is as good as the SV with just a little more visible CA towards the outer edge compared to the SV.
Eye relief is excellent; I can see the entire FOV with no blackouts. The view is nice, relaxed and for me fatigue free.
The image definitely has the WOW factor.
Overall, I am absolutely delighted with my Prime HD. Its optical performance is comparable with the best available, only losing out in the control of CA at the edge of the FOV. Even here it is by no means objectionable.
I've left the value for money aspect till last. VFM = Outstanding.
Please Note: The comments and opinions expressed here are mine and relate solely to this pair of binoculars. (Posted on 8/23/12)

After months upon months of research and many products tested including the so called "Alpha's" I kept coming back to the Zen-Ray ED line. Although I did not get a chance to view a pair of Prime HD I did look through the ED-3's and was amazed. I could not find any bad reviews about the optics just the quality and those were just minor issues. I purchased the 8x42's and all I can say is WoW! For the price there is no other glass on the market period ill never own another brand EVER. Absolutely Incredible pair of Binoculars -MIKE- (Posted on 8/6/12)

I purchased the PRIME HD binoculars based on the review of ZR products online and in Outdoor Life. I contacted Charles from ZR and he was most helpful explaining the advantage of the PRIME 10x42. I usually do not buy anything without personally using it firs;. BUT I trusted my research and I am very pleased with this product. It is substantial, easy to focus and handle.

I've been a "follower" of Howard's and his message of organics for 16 years now. We've not sprayed or used chemicals inside or out in that time. The diversity of beneficial insects and reptiles in our yard is amazing, and we know that the herbs and vegetables we grow are as good and good for you as they can be. The article didn't mention Redenta's Nursery on Oram Street, which is 100 percent organic and has a great, knowledgeable staff.

Tremendous and very thorough article. Congratulations to the author for taking the time to tell the whole story! It made for enjoyable and instructive reading while crediting authorities on both sides of the argument. My hat is off to Mr. Garrett.
L. A. Krulc, Fort Worth
Howard (married to my sister Judy) has been "converting" folks to organics for years—even our dad, a chemical engineer, believed in Howard's advocacy enough to change. In Victoria, Earthworks (and even HEB grocery) carry Howard's books and organic products. Now our growing family studies his ideas to help keep the grandkids (and the rest of us) safe. We even have friends in Cleveland who are excited about his information and are trying his ideas. Thank you, Howard!

Richie Whitt, this was journalism—actual presentation of the story, didn't blindside anyone. The principals can argue the facts, but you've reported what they said.
Looking at the remaining personalities, you have a Mr. Gatti's employee, a late-20s drifter and the oldest guy in Dallas radio without a steady, good-paying gig in 1994. Without Greg Williams, where would Mike Rhyner be—a waiter at a steakhouse? Corby would be what—and where? When they have a friend in trouble, they react purely in their own self-interest and putting down part of the reason for their existence.
I did hear Danny wish Greg the best in new endeavors. Rather than being defensive, telling us about the "high road," Danny recognized that some things are more important than perception of who zoomed who.
From the days of Herman in Mesquite, RO, Paul the Damn Viking and Ray in Allen, the show turned into an excuse to fart out loud and cuss a lot.

Jeff Abbott, Benbrook
This article is great, but it is extremely slanted toward Greggo. I think most avid fans of the show are going to read between the B.S. he's spouting to make it sound like he's a victim in this. I am disappointed that a great article slants about halfway through and takes sides, it appears.

text: Wii 'Maturity' Rants Ok, im just posting this to discuss the 'Mature' Crap about the Wii. All ive been hearing lately from select people is that the Wii is for "Babies." That is far from correct, The Wii is for Everyone. (As Nintendo Said, "we" to break down walls for people of all age/gender/likes and dislikes) Sure, alot of the games right now seem slightly Childish (if thats a bad thing.. some of the funniest/entertaining games ive played were rated E or T) There are many games coming out for more demanding gamers tho, COD3/Farcry etc are already out. And other games like Brothers in Arms, Resident Evil, Heroes etc are also coming out and im sure more will follow. If anyone has read news lately, the sole rights of Grand Theft Auto (And many other games From the company that publishes them - i forget name right now, if you know it tell me) are coming to the Wii in the future. Now if Nintendo was going for a 'Kiddie Konsole' then im pretty sure they wouldnt of hounded down the publishers of GTA (One of the most disputed games in history for violence) etc for them to be on this console. There will be many E-Rated Games probably dominating the Wii, but it sure as hell isnt going to only be them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54Ky2Pg4w-Y That is a good link showing many upcoming games and some that are already released in japan. Yup, id sure let a 8 year old play em all. rrr:

1Later, two of Pharaoh's servants did something wrong to Pharaoh. These servants were the baker and the man who served wine to Pharaoh. 2Pharaoh became angry with his baker and wine server. 3So Pharaoh put them in the same prison as Joseph. Potiphar, the commander of Pharaoh's guards, was in charge of this prison. 4The commander put the two prisoners under Joseph's care. The two men continued to stay in prison for some time. 5One night, both of the prisoners had a dream. (The two prisoners were the servants of the king of Egypt—the baker and the wine server.) Each prisoner had his own dream. And each dream had its own meaning. 6Joseph went to them the next morning. Joseph saw that the two men were worried. 7Joseph asked them, "Why do you look so worried today?" 8The two men answered, "We dreamed last night, but we don't understand what we dreamed. There is no one to interpret or explain the dreams to us." Joseph said to them, "God is the One who can understand and interpret dreams. So I beg you, tell me your dreams." 9So the wine server told Joseph his dream. The server said, "I dreamed I saw a vine. 10On the vine there were three branches. I watched the branches grow flowers and then become grapes. 11I was holding Pharaoh's cup. So I took the grapes and squeezed the juice into the cup. Then I gave the cup to Pharaoh." 12Then Joseph said, "I will explain the dream to you. The three branches mean three days. 13Before the end of three days, Pharaoh will forgive you and allow you to go back to your work. You will do the same work for Pharaoh as you did before. 14But when you are free, remember me. Be good to me and help me. Tell Pharaoh about me so that I can get out of this prison. 15I was taken from my own home, the land of my people, the Hebrews. I have done nothing wrong. So I should not be in prison." 16The baker saw that the other servant's dream was good. So the baker said to Joseph, "I also had a dream. I dreamed there were three bread baskets on my head. 17In the top basket there were all kinds of baked food. This food was for the king. But birds were eating this food." 18Joseph answered, "I will tell you what the dream means. The three baskets mean three days. 19Before the end of three days, the king will take you out of this prison. Then the king will cut your head off! He will hang your body on a pole. And birds will eat your body." 20Three days later, it was Pharaoh's birthday. Pharaoh gave a party for all his servants. At the party, Pharaoh allowed the wine server and the baker to leave the prison. 21Pharaoh freed the wine server. Pharaoh gave him his job back. And the wine server put a cup of wine in Pharaoh's hand. 22But Pharaoh hanged the baker and everything happened the way Joseph said it would. 23But the wine server did not remember to help Joseph. He said nothing about Joseph to Pharaoh. The wine server forgot about Joseph.

Bailey & Greene: a golden standoff
Athletics enthusiasts will be able to look forward to an excitement filled season this year. With the announcement of the IAAF's Golden League of major Grand Prix meets, they will be treated to a limited series of six meets - Berlin, Brussels, Monaco, Oslo, Rome and Zurich and the grand climax of the Grand Prix and Golden League Final in Moscow on 5 September, with a million dollar jackpot to be shared between athletes successfully contesting their events in each of the meetings and the Final.
We can expect to see at least two individual contest throughout the Golden League series, with the record chasing - and beating - duo of Haile Gebrselassie (ETH) and Daniel Komen (KEN) continuing their rivalry and the battle for supremacy in the blue riband 100m event between Canada's Donovan Bailey and America's Maurice Greene. Bailey has owned the world 100m record of 9.84 since the Atlanta Olympics, and Greene is determined to make the mark his.
Since taking possession of André Casson's 60m indoor record in Madrid on 3 February, Greene has declared that he will not be happy until he has made athletics' most coveted record his own. Buoyed up by his victory in the World Championships in Athens last August and by his defeat of Bailey in the inaugural IAAF Grand Prix II meet of the year, in Melbourne on 25 February, 23-year old Greene has said that the Canadian's record could fall at any time. Strangely enough, Bailey is not totally in agreement with this theory: "My intention is to go out and do what I do and stay number one. That's what my plans are", he said in a telephone conference on Monday. Asked about Greene's prediction that he will lower the 100m mark this season, Bailey said: "All that I have to do is stay healthy to break the world record." (He didn't compete against Greene in Sydney last Saturday after suffering from a bruised heel in the Melbourne Grand Prix).
"You can never know when you're going to break the record. Maybe Maurice knows something that no other sprinter knows." Only time will tell which of the two is right, but there is sure to be some exciting competition in the million dollar Golden League.

Tina Battaglia
So this is how my road to nursing unfolded.
After graduating college I went on to become a television reporter. I enjoyed working and taking on unexpected events where quick critical thinking was needed. It was during this chapter of my life that I learned even more about myself. In my news career, if I am truthful, I wanted to "help and aid" not tell the story. I wanted to care for the victim of an accident or shooting until medics arrived on the scene; however, in accordance with my job title and description, I was there to report. I will never forgot my experiences with injury and, sometimes, even death, and how I felt my purpose was really to have been the nurse rather than the reporter. Those were the quiet moments of my calling.
I eventually left news and focused on lighter television work such as commercials and night time dramas playing small roles until I met my husband. It was at this time that I felt it was time to create and grow my own family. However, being a full time "around the clock mother" could not satisfy all aspects of who I am. I came to realize that, for my personal growth, I needed to have my individual sense of purpose and have a profession in which I respected and admired. I had to change my course and accept my calling. Can I say, there was no knock at my door but more like bells ringing wildly! I heard the calling this time and could not ignore its loud tug on my heart. I was now on the journey to becoming a nurse. I began this new career path three months after my second baby was born. And I will admit that it wasn't easy. Sometimes I felt very guilty; however, I knew this short-term commitment would lend to a long life of feeling fulfilled. I also knew this career choice would allow me to set an example for my children. I hope they not only see a nurse who cares for and nurtures others but that they see their mother as an educator and advocator for better healthcare among the community. When I was awarded the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation scholarship, might I add, I am still in a state of glee, I knew it was one more sign that this was definitely the right choice for me. Yet, I do believe in order to fulfill this role as a nurse I must not forget the Florence Nightingale pledge "to devote myself to the welfare of those committed to my care". Ideally, I believe this about nursing…to always listen to your heart, it serves you best and to give back to your community wholeheartedly remembering your community is essentially your family.

Phone number located in Cheltenham, United Kingdom.

Having the same problems - keep calling me but never leave a message, if I answer you can hear a call centre in the background but they never speak and put the phone down.
I keep getting calls from this number and when I answer there is no one there except for a lot of background noise. They never leave a message. I just wish I could stop them ringing everyday.
Some direct marketing company - i answered the phone to a load of background banter, when he finally acknowledged me he kept addressing me as darling - so annoying! And so unprofessional.

Real-time San Diego traffic map ...
For a second straight day, onshore winds have blown thick fog ashore along the San Diego County coastline, prompting a dense fog advisory from the National Weather Service. Forecasters say the fog will reduce visibility to less than a half mile in places overnight, and that it could slow traffic on Interstates 5 and 8. The fog also could flow several miles inland in south county, as it did last night.
The fog will clear in most places by mid-morning on Saturday, and daytime highs will rise into the upper 60s along the coast. Skies are expected to be mostly clear on New Year's Eve. A growing ridge of high pressure will send the temperature as high as 78 on Sunday in San Diego.
The fog comes
on little cat feet.
It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.
Carl Sandburg, Chicago Poems (1916) "Fog"

" Brand: Wagg / Food Type: Rabbit Food "
* Prices may differ from that shown
Our two large and handsome bunnies are greedy things. Whilst in the summertime they are generally content to keep the lawn trimmed nicely (not to mention fertilised), with top-ups from carrot tops, apple cores and the like, in the winter there just isn't enough grass to keep them going. Whilst of course you can give them carrots, sprout peelings and so on, to make sure they have a good balanced diet I feel that some dried food is a necessary supplement.
Now Flopsy and Mopsy, whilst greedy, are also a bit fussy. I've tried several brands and there are always some bits of it they just don't eat, which seems a waste. Annoyingly, the more expensive the brand, the more they refuse!
I'm pleased to say that they do actually chomp Wagg bunny brunch down to the last scrap. I'm not sure what the difference is, but they seem to prefer it! The mixture consists of some identifiable parts like carrot and cabbage and other more anonymous brown pellets. According to the label it is bursting full of nutrition, and no doubt it is (I'm not about to test it for taste personally).
At about £2 for a 2kg bag it is reasonable value; this lasts the pair of them a couple of weeks, a couple of handfuls each per day, though I should emphasise that I'm only using this as a supplement, so if you only fed them this they would need more.
Insofar as you can tell with rabbits, they enjoy it, and are certainly quite eager to scurry to their bowls when they hear the rustle of food. Sealing the bag is not that easy, so I tend to put it into a plastic container with a lid, to keep it fresh and away from the attentions of any other wildlife.
I have a Netherland Dwarf rabbit called Upsy and she is a fussy little eater. After working my way through a variety of different Rabbit and Guinea Pig foods so more successfully than others, Upsy eventually decided Wagg Bunny Brunch was the one for her. She turns her nose up at most rabbit foods and being a fussy little bunny to say the least she divides her food into colours and eats them in order of brightness. Brightest first down to the brown!! Strange little bunny. Wagg Bunny Brunch definately keeps her occupied.
Being a Netherland Dwarf and being only little she can managed these easily. They say fresh and the variety within the packet gives her all the nutrition she requires.
I have checked with my friend who is a vet and she said this is the only bunny food she would recommend.
I used to bread rabbits a few years ago and this was the only food they would all eat. I had lops, netherlands, lion heads and dutch varieties.
A brand to suit call types of bunnies.
Our lastest pet to add to our zoo is a beautiful black bunny rabbit, never having had a rabbit before we had a look at rabbit food and as Wagg is a name we know from dog food we decided to give this a go.
Wagg do two different rabbit foods, premium and bunny brunch, the premium is £3.50 for 2.5kg whereas the bunny brunch comes in 2 sizes and sells at £1.78 for 2kg or £3.14 for 4kg. I have found this food in most supermarkets and all pet shops I have been in.
The bunny brunch food comes in a strong paper bag which is light green on the top and dark green on the bottom, there is a picture of two lovely bunnies on the front and a picture of a bowl of the food along with the information that the food improves digestion and is for healthy teeth and bones. The food lasts well as there is almost a years worth of date on each bag before they go out of date.
On the side there is a guide on how much to feed the rabbit and the statement that a 4 kg bag will feed an adult rabbit for 30 days. A young rabbit should have 100-130g, an adult rabbit 130-150g and a rabbit and litter should have 350g-400g a day, I personally just put our rabbit a bowlful in the hutch and then refill every day and he isn't fat so that must be enough. There is a little bit about also supplementing your rabbits diet with fresh greens and twigs or branches to keep their teeth in order.
On the back of the bag there is lots of information about the company and the fact that they have been around for 20 years, then there is the claims for the food and an explanation of each, improves digestion, strengthens immune systems, healthy teeth and bones and healthy skin and lustrous coat.
The mix is a typical museli type mix, there is wheat and oats along with dried looking vegetable type things, the food gives a good balance of everything and I personally give our rabbit apple and carrots aswell. Our rabbit seems to prefer the premium food which is shame as with this it only costs just over £3 a month to feed a rabbit but I'm soft and give into him or at least I will when the bag is finished. Our rabbit has got lovely teeth and plenty or energy, his fur is silky and smooth so the food does seem to live up to all it's claims. There are no problems with him pooing as well I know as I clean him out so his digestion must be in a good way and generally he seems happy apart from the protest of not eating his food in the hope of something else.
I would recommend this food as long as your rabbit isn't fussy like mine.
WAGG Bunny Brunch.
'Tasty Food for Rabbits' is the claim on the front of my 2kg bag of Bunny Brunch.
My 3 year old rabbit is quite the connoisseur when it comes to rabbit food, he has tried practically every brand there is and has his clear favourites as well as the ones he wouldn't touch with a barge pole!
This particular rabbit food ranks near the top on his list of favourites and is only beaten by a more expensive pellet food (why oh why does he have such expensive taste!). In fact this is the first food he ever had when he was a teeny weeny baby rabbit and I now still always have a bag on standby.
WAGG Bunny Brunch is classed as a 'nutritious complementary food' for rabbits. The food consists of small crunchy pieces which are of various shapes and colours. The food mix contains vitamins and minerals including vitamin A, vitamin D3 and Vitamin E.
The bag states that the typical analysis is:
Protein 14.0%
Oil 4.0%
Fibre 9.0%
Ash 5.0%
I understand that you are unlikely to need to know the exact ingredients but I will list the main ones now incase you are considering this rabbit food and your bunny has an allergy:
Peas, Wheat, Wheatfeed, Oatfeed, Maize, Oats, Lucerne, Grass, Sunflower
Ext., Vegetable Oil, Syrup, Carob Meal, Linseed, Vitamins & Minerals, Yeast.
Vitamins and Minerals.
This product may contain traces of nuts, as it has
been made in a factory that uses nut ingredients.
Vitamin A: 6000iu/kg, Vitamin D3: 1000iu/kg,
Vitamin E: 40iu/kg, Copper: 16mg/kg.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*~
My bag of Bunny Brunch was purchased from my local Tescos and as I mentioned above is a 2kg bag. Bunny Brunch is also available in 4kg and 16kg bags, although these larger bags are generally only available in large pet superstores. The 2kg bags are the most widely available in supermarkets such as Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury, Co-op etc and small petshops tend to sell both the 2kg and 4kg bags.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~
As with most products the cost varies from shop to shop but the following prices are from my own experiences of seeing this food for sale:
A 2kg bag costs around £2 to £3
A 4kg bag costs around £6
A 16kg bag costs around £10
Whilst this food is not the cheapest available it is not too expensive either so if you don't have the money to spend on the more expensive foods, at least you know your bunny is getting something that is of a reasonable quality.
The packaging of the food states that the food does the following:
- Strengthens the immune system
- optimises digestion of food
- promotes lustrous coat and healthy skin conditions
- promotes strong and healthy teeth
The food is widely available and the bags sizes that it comes in are easy to store and the packaging is of a good quality so the bag wont fall apart!
My rabbit deems the food tasty enough for him to eat which is an obvious positive!
Each piece of the food is crunchy which helps keep your rabbits teeth down and also provides them with something to do (nibbling away on a bit of food is quite entertaining for a rabbit!)
I usually mix this food with a more expensive pellet mix as I cannot afford to just feed Snuffles the pellet mix as he eats like a horse but he tends to like having a mix of the two.
Each of the food pieces are coated with the same mix which has the intention of preventing selective feeding (where the rabbit only picks out the bits it likes and leaves the other bits thus resulting in an unbalanced diet.) However there is a certain part of the food that Snuffles will not each but I will discuss this further in the disadvantages.
As I mentioned above, although the food is coated to prevent selective feeding, there is one part of the mix (the small seeds) that Snuffles does not like and refuses to eat - infact he goes as far as to pick them out and throw them out the cage!!!! Obviously as a result, he is not getting the nutritional value for these pieces. For this reason a pellet food (where the food is just made from identical pellets) tends to be more beneficial for Snuffles as I know then that he is getting everything he needs in his diet.
Whilst the food looks 'pretty' to the human eye as it is lots of nice colours, this has no bearing on the rabbits enjoyment of it, and the colourings used to make the food look attractive to humans actually tend to make my rabbit hyperactive!And obviously these aren't as good for him as food without colourings would be. This therefore is a further reason why I tend to use a pellet food combined with Bunny Brunch as pellet foods are bland in colour, as they have no additives or colourings in them.
It is also important to remember that this food is only a 'complementary' food and therefore it is designed to compliment the rabbits natural diet of hay, vegetables, grass and water. So it is crucial that the rabbit also has these essential foods to maintain its health and a well balanced diet. (although this is also true with ALL man-made rabbit foods).
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~
Individual rabbits will eat different amounts of food, as an owner you get used to the amount that your bunny eats and know how much you need to provide. The Bunny Brunch bag has feeding guidelines printed on it suggesting how much to feed your rabbit although with Snuffles, he never tends to eat more than he needs so I just keep an eye on his bowl and refill it when it gets empty.
An important point to remember is that rabbits must always have food available to them as if they stop eating for even just a short period of time (a few hours) their digestive system grinds to a halt and it is very difficult (and expensive in terms of vet bills) to get them better.
This food is designed to be provided to your rabbit in a small bowl - I would recommend a heavy one to stop your bunny throwing it around or chewing it up! I would also suggest putting the food bowl in an area of the hutch where rain water will not get to it otherwise the food can turn to mush if it rains particularly hard and water gets into the bowl!
It is also essential to always have fresh drinking water and fresh hay available in addition to the food.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*~
Overall I am quite impressed with this rabbit food. As mentioned above, it does have its disadvantages which is why I combine it with a pellet food, however Snuffles is quite happy to eat this food on its own and it is evident that he enjoys it as he is very fussy with his food and wouldn't eat it if he didn't like it!!
If you do decide to try this food out on your rabbit, I would suggest gradually introducing it to their diet rather than just switching to it straight away as their digestive system may need time to adjust to a new food.
Hello everyone and welcome to this review.
I love my rabbit, Buffy is her name! She is so kind and of a lovely nature so I must keep her healthy. After all she loves me so I love her. Now she is a very fussy rabbit I must say! She only eats certain things, her carrots must be peeled and her cabbage must be slightly damp.. Very fussy indeed. BUT! When it comes to ?Wagg Bunny Brunch? she never refuses.
I buy this great bunny food in my local Asda at the rather pleasing price of £1.88. That is a very good price in my opinion and I have found it to be almost double the price in other supermarkets. That is for a 2KG bag - That?s a lot of rabbit food!J
What is this product?
Bunny Brunch is a lovely blend of dried vegetables and fibres to feed your rabbit and know they are having a nutritious meal. The rabbit food contains many great Vitamins and Goodness that I will explain in this review. Bellow is some nutrition information:
Vitamin A__________6000 iu/kg
Vitamin D3_________1000 iu/kg
Vitamin E__________40 iu/kg
Copper_____________10 mg/kg
The packaging of this rabbit food really is great. It looks very classy and stands out well in the shops. It is a half green and half red bag with a bowl of food on the front with a picture of two rabbits. It?s a very strong bag, made of a strong sort of brown paper / card and is sewn closed. The bags are very strong and never fail when carrying around town unlike other pet food bags.
Feeding and nutritional information is shown on the side of the bag and is made very easy to understand.
All of the ingredients are listed on the packaging and it is described as a complete food for rabbits.
As stated on the bag - A 2KG bag of Bunny Brunch will feed an adult rabbit for 14 days, this is handy for planning rabbit feedings if you are going away or would like to buy food in advance.
Storage - This bag must be stored in a cool and dry place with the top of the bag folded down. A cupboard would be perfect. But never store this in an overhead cupboard. I did this and ended up with the whole bag of food over my head! Ha-ha.
Quality of the food.
Now, when I first bought this bag of food I thought it was going to be rubbish! To be honest. Because I had never used Wagg before and it seemed so cheap? But how wrong was I? Very wrong!
The food is of a fantastic quality. There are bits of everything good inside the bag. All pieces are of a good size and feel quality when in my hand.
My rabbit absolutely loves this food. I put a few handfuls of this in the cage, give Buffy a few minutes and it is gone! Then she holds onto the bars of her cage and asks for more, aww Bless herJ
Information on Wagg
As I said earlier ?I had never heard of Wagg before?, to my surprise they have been around for 20 years! Wow, I never knew. Well they do say you learn something new everyday?.
Here is a quote taken from the packet:
?At Wagg we?ve worked hard to bring your rabbit a healthy combination of nutritious ingredients at outstanding value?
I do also believe this statement made by Wagg, it really is great quality and is great value.
Wagg believes that their rabbit food has the following health benefits:
Improved Digestion
Strong immune system - Contains Vitamins A, D & E
Healthy Teeth & Bones - Added Calcium and Phosphorus
Healthy Skin and lustrous coat - Contains Omega 6 and Omega 3 Fatty acids.
Well hey?. That all sounds good to me! It really makes me feel good about what I am feeding my rabbit as she does not have a choice of her own.
Wagg also have a guarantee on their foods. If you are not happy at all with the products condition you received it in or not at all satisfied with the quality then give them a call?.. They will refund you and supply a new Bunny Brunch that is to your standard. They also have and email address:
You can email any questions that you have, whether it is to do with the food or caring for your pet?. They will help! Believe me, they are very kind at Wagg. I asked if they could give me suggestions on the size of cage that is fair for keeping your rabbit. They sent me a list of dimensions and even recommended places to buy the hutch from and even instructions to make it myself! They are great.
Overall this rabbit food is fantastic value for money. My rabbit loves it and so should yours:) I love this product and I quite honestly cannot think of anything bad to say about it!
Thank you for reading, I hope I have helped.

Obama still raking it in -- Mrs. Obama that is...
President Obama may have headlined his last fundraiser of 2012, but his wife is still raking it in.
First lady Michelle Obama joined a panoply of stars at an exclusive Park Avenue fundraiser Wednesday in New York.
Among the attendees: Chris Rock, James Earl Jones, Blair Underwood, Cynthia Nixon, Sam Waterston, Cherry Jones, Geena Davis, and Jeffrey Wright.
Director Mike Nichols staged readings by the gliteratti of famous pieces by Whitman, Twain and Morrison, among others, according to a pool report.
"I miss all the fun stuff," Obama said after taking the stage. "They just pull me in. If we've got a great singer, I never get to hear him sing. We had some of the -- so everybody goes, 'You've got a great event. This person is going to be there!' And I'm like, 'Am I going to be there?' 'No, actually, you're going to miss everything.' So was the case tonight."
She ticked through her standard stump speech, talking about her husband's character - what made her fall in love with him in the first place and "what you all saw last night" during the presidential debate in New York. She talked about all the tough choices he has made. And she also recounted meeting a 101-year-old woman, who has been volunteering for the campaign
"And she squeezed my hand and gave me the biggest hug, and she said, 'I just love you and the President and I'm praying for you and I'm working hard for you' -- 101, all right?" Obama said. "She said, 'I was alive when Teddy Roosevelt was President.' And she said, 'Let me tell you something -- you tell the president that they gave him a heck of a time, too.
"They gave him the worst time, because times were hard then.' That's what she said -- so a lot of people weren't ready for what he wanted to do. So she told me to tell the President to go into that debate and give him something."
An estimated 350 people attended the event, where tickets started at $1,000 per head. The first lady also attended a fundraising luncheon at a Long Island country club earlier in the day, where tickets started at $250 and another 350 guests attended.
At the Park Avenue event, some gave feedback on President Obama's second debate performance:
"I thought it was amazing," Chris Rock, sporting a dark suit and glasses, said, before adding: "Go Yankees"
Actor Blair Underwood of L.A. Law fame called the faceoff "combative," according to the pool report. And he and a companion speculated about Michelle Obama's political future. Underwood wondered aloud about Hillary Clinton's prospects.

text: Hi, I couldn't find the answer to this question, so if it's already been answered I apologize. I am doing two fatties up but will need to transport them and they won't be eaten for a few hours after they are smoked (these are also my first fatties). I plan to transport them wrapped in foil in a cooler to maintain IT, but would I be better served to cook them to 165IT on the smoker and warm them in an oven later or only start them on the smoker but cook to 165IT in the oven when I get there? I think food safety-wise cooking them fully on the smoker would be better, but then how do you make sure the bacon weave doesn't burn in the oven? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Will pay for answers with Qviews :biggrin:

If the opportunity for a rematch with Carlos Condit presents itself, fast-rising welterweight contender Rory MacDonald will leap at it.
MacDonald wants that rematch, and isn't shy about expressing his sentiment: Condit is the only fighter to beat him inside the Octagon. But don't take MacDonald's openness about wanting a rematch with Condit as evidence that he's failing to focus on matters at hand. He has a fight Saturday night in Seattle with BJ Penn. And MacDonald is 100 percent determined to walk away from the cage that evening victorious.
The only reason he has mentioned Condit's name over the past several weeks is that people have regularly requested his thoughts on the former UFC 170-pound interim titleholder.
And it is not part of MacDonald's makeup to avoid answering questions truthfully.
"I answered those questions honestly," MacDonald told ESPN.com. "I would like to fight Carlos next; that's my honest answer.
"I completely understand what's in front of me Saturday night. That is 100 percent my focus: BJ Penn on Dec. 8. I'm just honest with myself and honest with everybody in the media asking me questions. I don't want to give half-truths or beat around the bush when asked a question."
Honestly, MacDonald (13-1) knows no other way to communicate. It's an essential part of his character and has played a major part in his development as a mixed martial artist. MacDonald is just 23 years old, but his age should not be considered when measuring his maturity level. One month before his 21st birthday, MacDonald relocated from Kelowna, British Columbia, to Montreal in 2010.
He traveled across Canada to begin full-time training at TriStar gym. The decision to move was easy for MacDonald; it was made a few days after his first professional loss.
"If you watch that fight, you can see the intensity in my face," MacDonald said of his first meeting with Condit, a third-round TKO on June 12, 2010, at UFC 112. "And I fought that way. It's not my style and I paid for it that night. He beat the [crap] out of me."
As a result of that loss, MacDonald -- being honest -- concluded he needed to make a major change in order to take his career to the next level.
"I've had a lot of experiences and I've learned from every one of them," MacDonald said. "That's made me the person I am today.
"Moving to Montreal was the biggest experience."
While that decision was easy, MacDonald had been making tough decisions for several years. From the age of 16 he'd been living on his own. He's an independent thinker, though wise enough to listen to and accept any point of view that might prove beneficial. This formula has served MacDonald well thus far as a professional fighter.
Having one of the best trainers in mixed martial arts, Firas Zahabi, in his corner, and several top fighters for sparring partners -- including UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre -- have helped MacDonald improve in all areas of fighting.
Being honest, an independent thinker, mature beyond his years, confident and physically talented has placed MacDonald on the cusp of MMA greatness. Defeating Condit in a rematch would go a long way toward achieving the high expectations many have for MacDonald, but first he must take care of business Saturday night.
Penn is the most determined he's been in many years. The former UFC lightweight/welterweight champion is motivated to again have his name mentioned as an all-time MMA great.
And Penn isn't just offering lip service to promote the bout. He's in the best shape ever for a 170-pound fight.
"It's good for him that he respected me enough that he actually worked a little bit and got himself in shape, because he's going to need it," MacDonald said.
"At the end of the day I can't control what type of shape BJ is going to be in or what level of skill he possesses. I can only control myself. If I start worrying or stressing about things I can't control that's just going to be a damper or weight on my shoulders that I feel I don't need."
That's just MacDonald being honest again. And it's another reason why the odds favor him leaving the cage Saturday night with his hand raised.
Condit, who is coming off a unanimous-decision loss to St-Pierre at UFC 154 on Nov. 17, might want to pay close attention to MacDonald on Saturday. The two could be back in the cage for a rematch sometime in 2013.
And next time around, MacDonald won't be overwhelmed by the moment or an inexperienced fighter inside the Octagon.

Everyone at my highschool always raves about this band, I don't really understand why.
I think that underOATH has one decent song and I've listened to two of their albums.
Album Rating: 3.5why are they overhyped if ur not the only person liking them. i seriously , i am the only person in my town that has even heard of them, and i love this band
Album Rating: 2.5labonza, where do you live? I live in a rather populated Suburban area and everybody knows about them. Even at my isolated, preppy college tons of people know about Underoath.
Album Rating: 2.5I swear every show I go to I see at least 5 people wearing underoath stuff, they are pretty popular around here. I bought this CD since I hadn't heard much by them and was seeing them with Thrice so I picked this up since it was the only underoath cd at the store. Turned out the CD wasn't bad, some pretty good songs but after awhile just gets annoying, blends together, and the songs sounds very similar.
Sounds like most people feel this is their weakest album so I was just looking for a recommended album by the group.
they are not popular around here, in my little part of WI. i have both of their full lengths, and i really like both. the first one had Dallas as a screamer though.. which he was good, but i like the new guy better. I think he should just scream more on this album. they used to be almost hardcore, but now they are barely post-hardcore. the first cd also had a lot more christian ties into it than this one, which is one more thing i like about this album. if you want to see a really good live performance head over to www.punkrockvids.com and check out "A Boy Brushed Red... Living in Black and White".. it is incredible.
i'd give this album 3.5/5
Album Rating: 3.5if u must know, dfelon, i live in a stupid small crappy town that i hate, but still i dont understand why people think they are overhyped just because alot of people like it. that must mean its GOOD, so stop freakin out about "oh no, im not the only person who likes underoath, they must be overhyped and suck" and yea, once again, i like this band alot
Album Rating: 4.0good album. have to listen to older material
"ALL of the songs sound like Hawthorne Heights and The Used.
except for the fact that the Used sucks and UnderOath is sweet"
The changing if times was average, but somewhat enjoyable. This is bullshit.
this cd is amazing, i just love the vocal work and the song structure! BUY IT! HXC is not the way to go. This Message Edited On 01.24.06
Album Rating: 4.5that damrod dude knows alot about music. i dont always agree with his reviews but hes good at it.
i havent heard any old UO but i love this album. i think it has a great display of evergy and passion for music. the songs are really catchy. i hated this band until i could recognise the songs. i just hope that they dont turn into some death metal band and start to change their image. cuz they are awesome. at my school people either love them or hate them. and the people that love them will keep doing it. as long as they keep a good balance and dont over do the screaming then i love them.
Album Rating: 2.5This was one of the worst concerts I've ever seen. They opened up for The Bled and Thrice, and they were TERRIBLE. Before every song, the singer would say, "This one goes out to Jesus Christ," which all fine and dandy, but every song? Come on...it just got annoying after the 3rd song or so. Also, they have a guy who "plays" the keyboards up there, and I swear I didnt hear a single note from the keyboard the whole time. This guy just jumped around and headbanged. I gotta say though, the singer's got some pipes, and the guitarists had some pretty good riffs. I'm not a huge fan of these guys, but there's some potential there if they refine their live shows!!
Album Rating: 5.0Man i think tis was well writen i mnean the guy that wrote had alot of information in it. But i dont think underoath is overhyped at all and the christian-core comment,,, well sorry if u think there to christian for yu to like them but there an amazing band and you know it!
Album Rating: 2.5 | Sound OffWell, it all comes down to personal taste (like I mentioned already in a comment here). I'm not completely disliking the type of music underOATH fit into, but I think there are bands that are just better IMO.
Mark the last three letters :D
"ALL of the songs sound like Hawthorne Heights and The Used."
except for the fact that the Used sucks and UnderOath is sweet
lmao i second that
Album Rating: 2.5Well put Mudvaynian...
Album Rating: 3.5its called musical taste, mudvayne, which means just i dont have to listen to metal because i dont like it
I agree with labonza01, everyone has their own taste in music. I listen to both... So, yeah.
Anyways, to me, when I listen to some of their songs, like The Impact of Reason, they kind of sound like Taking Back Sunday, but not by much, but there's no way that they sound like Hawthorne. At all. But IMO, I like "Some Will Seek Forgiveness, While Others Escape", and next to that is "I Don't Feel Very Receptive Today". This Message Edited On 02.02.06This Message Edited On 02.02.06
I dont know what some of you guys are talking about. UnderOATH rules all. They sound nothing like the used.Far from it! Im sorry but the used sucks. I like some of there songs but still. I have no idea who hawthorne heights is but im sure UnderOath is better :P but yes. Underoath's new cd is amazing. This cd is the one that got me loving them so much. Sure there arent many songs but a lot of bands have less songs than this one does. The songs Im content with losing, Some will seek forgivnes.., A boy brushed red...,Reinventing your exit, its dangerous bussiness... the impact of reason....well ok The whole cd rules. and so do the others.
i like this album over the older ones because there are less screaming
Spencer scream is just not really good to me
Almost as bad as Hawthorne Heights' screaming
But i still like his vocal tho
The previous albums is all filled with those terrible screams and it just doesnt sound right to meThis Message Edited On 02.03.06

Absolutely Free "Beneath The Air"
This track is absolutely dope.
Self-described as "astro-beat" music, Toronto group Absolutely Free pulls from a variety of genres and influences, including indie rock and psych rock, but with an almost hardcore edge. After a slew of promising one-offs, they are set to release their self-titled LP via Lefse Records in October. Given the quality of "Beneath The Air" we believe it could very well send us above the clouds.

Victor, you're right to point out how North Korea is moving to another dangerous level in this upcoming "satellite" test next month. Of course, Pyongyang already shot a two-stage Taepodong missile directly over Japan's main island, Honshu, back in August 1998 (I was in Tokyo at the time). The shock in Japan propelled them to start seriously developing anti-ballistic missile capabilities, both at sea and on land. Today, they're probably the most capable U.S. ally in missile defense.
Japan has had success in shooting down test missiles in the ascent and mid-course stages of flight, using their sea-based SM-3 missile fired off of Aegis-equipped destroyers (of which the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force has four ships). And Japan and the U.S. are jointly developing an upgraded version of the SM-3. Tracking is still an issue — if they know it's coming, then they can be positioned to intercept, but coordinating with the Americans on tracking and fixing an in-flight target obviously improves their chances of success. If Japan does decide to try and shoot down the North's missile next month, they already know that it will likely fly near Okinawa in the far south, so they can pre-position their ships accordingly. But without American radar or overhead reconnaissance for real-time intelligence, it might be a trickier shot for them. Same goes for the South Koreans, who have three Aegis ships, but less experience in intercepting missiles.
Thus, whether the Obama administration is willing to give all assistance to Tokyo or Seoul in shooting down this missile might turn out to be the crucial element. Right now, I wouldn't bet on it. However, if Washington refuses to help, it might just be the catalyst for Japan and South Korea to get together to fill in the capabilities they need to do all this by themselves (joint satellites to watch North Korea, remotely-piloted high altitude surveillance drones, sharing targeting information). There's a long road ahead to get there, but nothing like a potential nuke warhead shooting overhead to overcome decades of mistrust.

UPPER MONTCLAIR, N.J. – Following a summer splashy transfers, the Red Bulls may finally have made the signing that will put them over the top when they added central midfielder Mehdi Ballouchy on Tuesday.
In his fifth year, Ballouchy was tied for the team lead in assists with five in 19 starts for Colorado. That's the kind of production Hans Backe was seeking, and the Red Bulls head coach said that he hopes Ballouchy will act as the "missing link" between New York's midfielders and the forwards.
Since the World Cup, Backe had been hinting he was in the market for a central midfielder and was reportedly looking within Europe. Though one of those options proved to be holding midfielder Rafa Márquez, Backe first noticed Ballouchy when he made a substitute appearance in the US Open Cup.
The Rapids then visited New York on Saturday for an MLS fixture, which the Red Bulls won 3-1. Ballouchy started for Colorado and hit the post in the second half. He was marked in the game by the midfield pairing of Tony Tchani and Márquez, who was full of praise for his new teammate.
WATCH: Ballouchy hits the post
"He's a technical player," Márquez said of Ballouchy. "He handles a good ball."
Ballouchy called it "a dream" to be feeding balls to the likes of Thierry Henry and Juan Pablo Angel up top and working with Marquez in the midfield.
Like Márquez, Henry liked what he saw of the player on Saturday.
"As you saw on Saturday, the way he plays, he wants the ball," Henry said.
Ballouchy was in New York when he got news of the trade, having stayed the weekend to visit family in the area. While he admits to having heard the rumors of a deal, he says the extended weekend was planned in order to spend time with a cousin in the city.
He has seen his new team grow over the past year from a last-place laughing stock to a club near the top of the table and called New York "very organized," something they weren't last year.
"That's what impressed me so much," Ballouchy said of New York's turnaround. "That must be the coach's work."

Endo Health to pay $192.7M in gov't settlement
by The Associated Press
Federal prosecutors say Endo Health will pay almost $193 million to resolve claims that it improperly marketed the shingles treatment Lidoderm for unapproved uses like treating lower back pain.
The Malvern, Pa., drugmaker will pay $171.9 million in civil false claims settlements largely to the federal government, with 47 states and the District of Columbia dividing $34.2 million from that total. Endo also agreed to pay $20.8 million as part of a deferred prosecution agreement.
Federal prosecutors said Friday that Endo Health Solutions Inc. marketed the drug for unapproved uses between 2002 and 2006.
Doctors can prescribe medicines for any use, but drug makers cannot promote them in any way that is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The phone, a variant of the Galaxy Note, moves the Asian giant a step closer to achieving devices with flexible and potentially unbreakable screens.
The Galaxy Round's 5.7-inch (14.4cm) display has a slight horizontal curve and weighs less than the Galaxy Note 3, allowing a more comfortable grip than other flat-screen models on the market, Samsung said.
Its key features include a tilt function which allows users to check information such as missed calls and battery life, even when the home screen is off.
Curved displays are on the frontline of Samsung's innovation war with rivals such as Apple and LG, as the South Korean firm seeks to expand its lead in the slowing market for high-end smartphones.
Samsung's cross-town rival LG Electronics is planning to introduce a smartphone with a vertically curved display in the first week of November, a source familiar with the matter said this week.
Hana Daetoo Securities analyst Nam Dae-jong said of the Galaxy Round: "It's a step forward for having unbreakable gadgets and flexible devices eventually. But for now, the new phone is more of a symbolic product.
"It is Samsung's attempt to gauge consumer appetite for curved phones although its lack of other eye-catching features means it is unlikely to be a hit. I don't think it'll be massively compelling enough for gadget buyers."
He added that Samsung did not yet have capacity for large-scale production of curved touch screens for the new Galaxy Round.
The phone initially will be available only in South Korea and no decision has been made about releasing it in other markets.
It will be available through South Korea's biggest mobile carrier SK Telecom Co Ltd and cost 1.089 million won (£632).

Like most folks, I enjoy listening to music whenever the opportunity arises. My favorites include the old rock 'n' roll songs, the Beatles, country music and a number of classical selections.
But, as of Sunday, thanks to the Golden Globes, I developed a new favorite:
"Playoff music."
It's employed when it's deemed that a recipient's speech is too long or rambling. The director signals the conductor to begin "playing the speaker off." First softly, then louder and louder until the speaker is completely drowned out.
Case in point: The British actress Jacqueline Bisset. The only mistake they made is not starting the playoff music before she got to the stage.
The actress gave a rather odd and incoherent acceptance speech that included several swear words as she took to the stage to be awarded Best Supporting Actress in a TV Show, Miniseries or TV Movie for "Dancing On The Edge."
First she took an interminable time to reach the stage, stopping for kisses, chats with other actors, and lastly, a quick visit to Disneyland. Finally, she arrived on stage, took the microphone, and stood in silence for many excruciating moments before the rambling began.
In such a case, I'm not sure "playoff music" is sufficient. I would have preferred to see a net dropped over her head to scoop her off the stage.
Here's another mystery I observed with Miss Bisset. Didn't she think it would be prudent to comb her hair? I mean, just on the off chance she might win an award and be seen my millions of viewers?
And that leads me to the other reason people watch these award shows: Fashion. I'm certainly no expert, but I often ask myself, wouldn't it be a good idea for these people to invest in a mirror?
Let's take what most pundits felt was the worst dressed actress: I'm speaking of Paula Patton, who wore a skin-tight white gown, half of which was smothered with voluminous yards of white ruffles. Critics called her "a spectacular mess."
I too was very disparaging, but now feel I owe her an apology, as it was later determined those weren't in fact ruffles, but what was evidently an unfortunate embrace by a polar bear.
Possibly an entire family.
I'm planning to take up a collection to buy mirrors for the less fortunate performers. If just 10 people each sent in 25 cents, we could pull this off.
And now the Oscars are just around the corner and I'm not optimistic about what will show up on the red carpet in March. Wouldn't they fear judges would put their heads together before deciding on a winner and say something like: "Isn't that the chick who wore that polar bear?"
On the other side of the coin we had Lupita Nyong'o, the Kenyan actress who made her American film debut in "12 Years a Slave," for which she received critical acclaim.
She wore a spectacular red gown and cape, and easily took the crown for best-dressed at the Golden Globes.
All it took was a great designer and an actress with the perfect body. Namely, that of a 10-year-old boy.
