The Reasons Why A Young Dog Might Want To Bark At Another Puppy
If you happen to have a puppy and he is showing exorbitant interest in other dogs then this is very normal. Dogs are customarily born with a deep affinity for others of their species and as long is this nurtured well they are going to be social animals. It is extremely important to allow your puppy to play with other dogs of whatever size and ages. Dog communication is taught and refined via other dogs as part of their nature.
I always grovel when out walking, and see a puppy being picked up when approached by an amicable dog. It's a miserable sight to observe a baby of a species frantic to interact with others of his type looking crestfallen as he is swept into the air. It is at about that point where social Problems for puppies begin.
Older dogs will teach your puppy, among other stuff bite inhibition, social manners and play. To become adult socially adept your puppy should have the chance to play with other dogs frequently. It is natural for dogs to live in multiples and to deprive a dog of this will result in annoyed and unwelcome behaviour. The effort of learning how to train a dog socially will never equal giving your puppy the chance to learn manners from another dog.
The adult dog on the end of a leash that is barking towards another dog is generally under socialized. He's not been given the chance to find out how to interact with others and is socially isolated. The behavior exhibited is generally based in fear. The poor dog hasn't got any idea what to do so he barks.
Well socialized dogs do not bark and strain a leash to see another dog. They have lots of social contact and therefore are less scared of either missing the chance to interact or the situation getting beyond control. They have also been taught sufficient behavior in dog language, so when they do meet other dogs they sometimes behave well.
This article aims to raise your appreciation of puppy socialization. This and positive canine training strategieswill allow you to raise the ideal puppy. For more information on how to train your dog please visit The Dog Trick Academy.

PSN Down For Maintenance Tomorrow |
Listed in: News Tags: maintenance, PlayStation Network, psn
In case you haven't heard the news, 2013 is here to stay. For many businesses that means starting the year off on the right foot. In an effort to keep its many users happy in the coming months, the PlayStation Network will be undergoing some scheduled maintenance to keep the servers working as strongly as possible. Here is the official word on the times you should be aware of.
It's a sad day whenever our gaming sessions get interrupted for any reason, but if you've been hanging around the PSN for a few years now you know that especially after the many hacking incidents this sort of procedure has become a lot more common. After singing some praise about the success of the God of War Ascension Beta and the new Dead Space 3 digital preorder system Sony Senior Manager Matthew Harper of PlayStation Digital Platforms has given us word that the PSN will have some limited functionality for most of the day tomorrow.
Depending on where you're living the work will begin at 8:00AM PT (9:00AM MT / 10:00AM CT / 11:00 AM ET) and conclude around 8:00PM PT (9:00PM MT / 10:00PM CT / 11:00PM ET). This is definitely more in the middle of the day than some previous windows, but the good news is as long as you sign in some time today you'll still be able to use games and apps at your leisure. If you were hoping to get a PSN purchase though, you may want to do that before this time begins. More or less, just get yourself logged in so you can keep gaming through the day!

Uses 1 AA Battery (not included).
Ladies, If your reading this your exactly like me. I look at other reviews first before making a decision on a product. So let me give you the low down on this one. First I needed one just for the upper lip. I am fair complected and the hair comes in darker. I don't want to start shaving and looking like a man in the end. So when shopping just keep this in mind, there is a difference between a shaver ( shavers just shaves the hair and it might grow in thicker and faster) and a epilator. Then remember that there is a difference between a facial epilator and a body epilator. The body epilator will hurt and might not work on you face. As for the facial epilator will take for ever on your legs because it is smaller and made for the face only. Don't let the price fool you on this epilator. I used it several times now and it really works on my upper lip. I am almost tempted to purchase another one for a back up. I have purchased other ones until I found this one and through trial and error I found that this was the best one out of the seven I purchased and also the best priced! One last thing. Ladies please remember this pulls the little hairs out by the root. So if you are looking for a complete PAINLESS product you need to just keep plucking. This does to me feel like little pinches. I feel the reason is because it is grabbing more than one hair at a time. So in short it does work and I love it. - Arizona Girl 69
this little gadget works great, my face feel smooth and soft. i would recommend it to everyone. love.love. i give it a five star. the price is just right. - sweetmessage
Thoroughly cleanse your face with cleanser or soap and warm water before epilating.
Make sure there is no makeup or moisturizer residue on your face before epilating.
Epilate gently against the direction of hair growth. Do not apply any moisturizers or creams until 30-60 minutes after you have finished epilating, to avoid clogging the hair shafts. Let them close naturally.

A pergola is a garden feature forming a shaded walk or passageway of pillars that support cross beams and a sturdy open lattice, upon which woody vines are trained. As a type of gazebo, it may also be part of a building, as protection for an open terrace. The origin of the word is the Late Latin pergula, referring to a projecting eave. The term was borrowed for English from Italian, mentioned in an Italian context in 1645 and used in an English context in 1675.

Avian mating systems are fairly diverse. Around 90% birds are monogamous, 8% polygynous and 1-2% polyandrous.
Communication is the process of transferring information from one animal to another; there are typically three types of roles involved with communication. These are:
Signaller – Initiates the communication, the signaller must benefit from making the signal
Receiver – Receives the signals sent by the signaller, these signals are often of benefit to the receiver as well
Eavesdropper – Takes advantage of the signals generated by the signaller

The method of digestion which an animal uses depends on its diet i.e. carnivore, herbivore or omnivore. For example not all mammals are carnivores (e.g. dogs and cats), herbivorous mammals include rabbits, chinchillas, guinea pigs etc.
Generally, carnivores consume animal tissue which is similar to their own; therefore all the body needs to do [...]
Respiration is the process of obtaining sufficient oxygen from an organism's environment to support its cellular metabolic requirements. Respiration is not just the mechanical process of breathing – the transport of oxygen from the outside air to the cells within tissues, and the transport of carbon dioxide in the opposite direction. It is also the metabolic process by which an organism obtains energy by reacting oxygen with glucose to give water, carbon dioxide and ATP (energy).

Hong Kong Moments V
Since moving to Hong Kong at the beginning of 2011 I've been slowly building a bigger picture of this multifaceted metropolis and the people who live here – it's been a fascinating year and undoubtably one of the best. In the first since 2010′s instalment of this series here are some more Hong Kong Moments – from dusk till dusk.
Arriving late in the afternoon to Cheung Chau island I was almost running to catch the sunset but just missed it.
The area around Nam Koo Terrace in Wan Chai is particularly creepy and purportedly haunted!
Towngas doesn't want people stealing its pipes.
While British Gas may prefer a blue hue, in Hong Kong the supply is decidedly more yellow.
I suspect this particular skyscraper looks better with its clothes on than off.
Every 4 years Hong Kong gets pretty worked up with local elections although the positions hold little real power.
About all they can do is move street lights and clean up flyposting.
How mechanics ever find anything in this car repair shop I can't imagine.
Chinese typography can be quite impactful and I liked the colour contrasts on this truck.
"No dumping of refuse or junk in public place. Offenders will be prosecuted".
I have no idea what this sign says but also liked the Klingon-esqe typography of the Chinese characters.
Get your sun-dried organic bats on-a-stick here…
…possibly caught by this contented looking cat in Sheung Wan.
A MINI espresso brought to you curtsy of Starbucks, everyone's favourite virus-like francise.
A classic Nissan Skyline GT clings precariously to the steep incline of Aberdeen Street looking rather out-of-place.
Without the colourful strips the Wah Fu pubic housing estate near Pok Fu Lam would look like a prison.
And last but not least dusk below the towers of the Bel-Air residence at Cyberport. Lots more soon I promise!

gregorylent nice collection … hk definitely has visual texture
David Thanks, I often say that in Hong Kong you can feel the weight of history
Jessie Hi, I came across your blog while wondering on the internet. As a girl born and grew up in HK, studied in England, and teaching foreigners Chinese, I found your posts really amusing! Bookmarked your blog already, looking forward to your new posts for the interesting texts and beautiful pictures. If you wanna know what the Chinese characters mean in your pictures, you can emails me.
Cheers! -
David Thanks Jessie – I'm glad you like it!

Self appointed authorities write about content. Some go a little further and write about the artist's technique. The result is for the most part convoluted mass confusion. Art is a part of life as is cooking, kitchen design, how we dress, how we make love, and so on. I might add also that once upon a time it was a part of political choices that we made.
Coincidentally, in today's Modern World the artist is not left with the time to be a "good" (i.e. perfect the craft) artist as well as have a modicum of influence. N'importe quoi !

]]>Why, today, do we continue to insist that they remain separated?
In our supposedly advanced civilization can we not have a recognition of a visual artist who does it all?
I vividly remember, a few years after I was in France, a encounter with a woman. I was on a stroll with my camera. This woman wanted to know if I was not the painter. Upon acknowledgement that I was she verbally attacked me for taking photographs. Duh. I mention France, but this mode of thinking had already been presented to me in the U.S. Yet, today, we are being led into an appreciation of photo-realistic painting. To me, this is a banal form of painting that sacrifices the visual presentation of light as we see it. Not photographically. As we SEE it. Not as a mechanical analogue/digital tool record it. And here is where we fail to appreciate the difference. It is not particularly subtle.
Photography and painting are two sides of the same coin. Bottom line, they are both direct links to understanding perception.
On a lighter note, we are experiencing change at an unprecedented speed. All roads lead to Rome. And of course, the Greeks. As we evolve as a social group, human beings are perched on the edge of their next stage of evolution. Bring it on.
French version: Être peintre et photographe
]]>I am of the opinion that today art is the point where our most pressing issues and questions converge. This suggests something other than business as usual. Needless to say, not only are a large number of painters, photographers, graphic artists and so on struggling and suffering. This is also the case with a large number of fellow human beings on the planet.
We all come to our work with a mind that has been formed over millennia. That this mind is leading us in a dangerous direction is now beyond dispute. We have a glitch in the software. You are certainly entitled to think otherwise. And if the case I can only suggest that you open your mind to that possibility. What follows is speculation as to how a mind freed from the shackles of the past would approach creative work.
This is complicated by what Wyndham Lewis termed "The Demon of Progress in the Arts" published in 1955. Wyndham Lewis may be a bit strident for some. However, if you can manage to find a copy it is an interesting take by a person who was in the thick of the art world for more than half of a century.
I've read much of what Wyndham wrote during his long prolific life. Having been in the trenches of World War I he was passionately concerned with humanity. For those of you familiar with Saul Bellow, he was a staunch follower of Lewis.
In any case here is the thing, it seems logical to read what the experts have had to say. And some of it is interesting to read. There are a lot of good ideas to be found. At the end of the day, however, they remain just that — ideas. A long time ago it occurred to me that if ideas and good intentions could lead to the solutions for our problems we would already have arrived. The same scenario has been going on for hundreds of thousands of years. It seems that we took a wrong turn early on in our evolution. It seems neither economically feasible nor rational to continue in our same old rut.
I was a member of the Beat Generation of the 5O's. Watching and participating in the flowering of the ideas of Peace and Love which followed left me following a personal path. The hope of communicating insights gleaned has sustained me since. It deeply saddens me to think about the world we are leaving to our young. All with the best of intentions, right? Those of us who have had the good fortune to avoid the 8 to 5 grind and engage our minds freely and fully have a special obligation. To remain fixed in old fixed patterns is not an option. Many of us are intelligent, well educated, well read, and clever enough to have stepped outside of the zeitgeist. It hasn't been enough. We only moved slightly, maybe a few feet. All of our old solutions have not worked. They are all based on a mind that at its core can only generate thoughts, ideas, and so on based on the dead past and an imagined future. If we stop doing that something miraculous happens. It is really quite simple but far from easy. Most would say it is not possible. Well, I for one say that it is. Think about this, if it were not possible then Life on planet Earth is a very cruel joke.
What has all this to do with painting and photography you ask? Well, what I'm hinting at is closely connected with perception. I am an old bird and if I can profoundly change my health and my mind I am sure others are doing the same.

]]>Rex Brandt said: "We do not paint things, we paint relationships." True as far as it goes. If only it were so simple. Statements like this seem to entrench in the mind and we can easily lose the context. Rex was very much concerned with his medium of watercolor paint. I point this out as an example of how easily the message is compromised with a sign such expressed in blunt terms.
Delacroix said something that addresses what I'm trying to get at. He said the problem with many painters was they used coloration rather than color. He implies that they are not completely devoted to color and their medium.
If we say we do not paint things, we paint relationship in terms of a colored medium I believe we get closer to the crux of our problem as artists. I might add that to paint relationships we must become deeply involved in the initial experience. That very first impression which strikes strongly and ignites the process needs much nurturing. Carrying this around in our heads for a good period of time the muse may visit as we paint. That is the primary relationship.
Published in french as L'ordre caché en peinture
]]>What to say? First and foremost, my heart goes out to the Japanese people. Words in this regard are totally inadequate. I've experienced some deeply moving moments in reflection. The following touches some of the highlights. Bear in mind these are verbal thoughts which miss the essence of the experience. They are, however, perhaps valuable on their own merit.
Everything to follow is based on a biased view towards human life quite outside the norm. Having said that, I need add that at my age I no longer feel any sense of judgment towards the society in which I live. Quite the contrary. I've written elsewhere about my opinion that our evolution is not done in a progressive linear manner. This has been well documented in the case of prehistoric cave paintings. But we do progress. It may be that over a given 100 year period we progress in humanistic manner 100 steps. Perhaps in the next few year we digress 99 steps. Well, that is still a net advance of 1 step. Has not our value of the human life progressed in this manner? Ever so slowly has the dignity and quality of the individual human life improved.
This model held true until the last 150 years. The photographic image has both directly and indirectly transformed our artistic/esthetic sensibilities. We have yet to begin understanding its significance. A, short, few decades later industrialization was in full swing. And given the choice between a horseless carriage and its alternative we started down the slippery road of mass consumption.
This abbreviated digression was necessary to preface what I wanted to say about my special experience. I felt a deep sense of identity with the Japanese people. This could not have been possible the day before yesterday. Many; if not most of us now can have the feeling of being in the same boat together.
My hope is that this catastrophic event may trigger steps in a different direction. Perhaps an understanding that a world devoid of artistic and esthetic sensibilities is a world that stepped into a deep precipice. If we do not come to our senses someday we will believe when looking back at the fruit of Western Civilization … "well, you can't get back there from here." Humanity will have become blind to the importance artistic sensibilities hold for society at large.
Here it is in a nutshell; If the big questions become muted, then the important question of, "how man should live", becomes as important or unimportant as how ants should live.
Published in french as La mécanisation de l'homme et de l'art
]]>The truth, where is it? The truth what is it ?
Large question indeed.
Is not the truth subjective ?
Physically, it depends upon the point of view.
For exemple, Is a photography a true representation of reality? It is rather the vision of it that the photographer has wanted to give by not putting into it the garbage which is just outside the shot. The notion of in the field of vision / outside the field is already an interpretation witting or unwitting of the "Truth".
Psychologically, the truth is even more subjective ?
Two persons will live a given situation in two very different ways. And however this experience is one (in the meaning unique) and therefore it has a priori only one truth. This makes me think about factual truth. After all a fact is a fact, unquestionable, confirmed.
But though, in history, the historical thought based upon real facts is in constant evolution. In science, the verity of to day will not be the truth of to morrow.! The discovery of a new "scientifical truth" will shake the truth.
I think we need to ask ourselves the question of the truth that we accept: our own truth, the one of our family, of our kin, of our colleague, of our culture, of our time. And for art, with my poor knowledge in this area, I think that the essential is that the artist respects hi truth, his own truth in the instant he is creating ( so "be true towards yourself").
I agree with Corot about the truth of the first impression.
We finally come back most of the time to our first impression about people, about the landscape, about the content of our plate (here visual), about our future housing, about our work, about the work what we are looking at.
Denis responds :
Thank you Anne for your thoughtful remarks.
Here is the bottom line for me, I believe that what we see and what we think about that experience is important. We arrive at an understanding of what the words we use to describe and explain things represent. When they arrive at the point of becoming abstractions we can then get those words into perspective. In this context, it is not the things we know that create problems for us … it is the things we know that are not so. A poor grasp of abstract thought or abstract words compounds those problems. (I'll write more about this probblem in a future article.) Art is largely about a good grasp of the tradition of painting and problem solving, not the pursuit of abstractions such as our common understanding of the word truth.
As you see, Anne, I am short on answers, long on questions. I trust that my studies and intuition lead me to good ones. This, I believe is the path of a painter.
Ciao, Denis,
Published in french as Commentaire et réponse sur "La vérité du peintre"
In the middle of the 19th century, Sainte Beuve summed up the current state of affairs thus: "The beautiful, the true, the good is a fine slogan and yet it is specious. If I had a slogan it would be the true, the true alone. And not the beautiful and the good get along as well as they can." He was, I believe, speaking to the importance beginning to be placed on scientific and artistic truth. He was close to the painters. Corot was to talk about the importance of the first impression, truth and accuracy. Odd, considering he was so adept at fitting his impressions to classical notions of composition and design.
Truth. Exactly what is it? Does it have a connection with "to thine own self be true"? Is it enough to follow the current opinions flavored with the latest ideas as to the meaning of truth? How is a painter to know what to paint? Is it really as simple as truth or fiction?
Most painters blindly follow the zietgeist. "You must be free and unique like no others." This is not freedom. If you are not free you would not know the truth if it bit you on the arse. Freedom is a precondition for the painter or any creative individual.

]]>Since I moved to France in 1994 much has changed for me. For one thing before my wife became sick I was spending a good deal of time in the US. She was diagnosed with a rare fast growing cancer which we were told was terminal by the specialists we saw in France. Thank God for the internet. I learned that a research institute in the US, Sloan-Kettering Institute, was actively working on a experimental protocol. What's more they were collaborating with The Institut Curie in Paris. So, immediately on the phone to Curie; luckily a quick appointment and we had a protocol. It was not easy getting treatment because Doctors don't like being told what to do. But having said that, the treatment was first rate. Françoise is a survivor. I am a survivor. It has been 9 years now. It is unimaginable how hard this all was and how it has affected and changed our lives. These days we don't put up with much shit. Life is much too dear to spend time dealing with the petty stuff. And for this reason, we found ourselves moving from the home from which we thought we would never leave. We are happy with our new home. But it was a time consuming project. It took a two year chunk of precious time.
For those of you whose lives have been touched by cancer our deepest sympathies. And the 3 out of 5 of us that have not been touched? Please count your blessings and think beyond thee current TV comedies on the "Big C". They just touch the tip of the iceberg. For anyone wanting to understand more about the impact on lives and the need for more public awareness this is a must read http://www.guardian.co.uk/tv-and-radio/2010/sep/19/the-big-c-cancer-tv
This blog began in April, 2006 as www.webb-blog.fr written in French with a translation in English. It, along with my site www.deniswebb.fr did very well. That was all fine, but traffic to my English sites: www.deniswebb.com and this blog remained quite low. Easy to understood why: it was essentially a copy of the translations in the French blog. Aside from the fact that these are two quite different publics it appears in the blog that the articles where written over a period of a couple of months when in fact it was over a two year period.
I've been on a artistic path from a young age and I feel I've been fortunate. In my opinion, fame and notoriety are traps for the unwise. Autonomy, integrety, and direct contact with a smaller circle brings balance and perspective. For many years this has worked for me. Many, much more talented than I, have attempted to make big changes or pursue that chimaera called success only to be subdued by an unrestained ego. (Here is an interesting, if not brilliant, video by Elizabeth Gilbert about nurturing creativity → http://www.ted.com/talks/elizabeth_gilbert_on_genius.html)
For a long time humanity has struggled to break the chains of history. Creativity and the historical view are the antagonists. My heart is warmed when I see a young person like Elizabeth Gilbert thinking and speaking clearly.
Remember, we paint who we are so keep your brushes wet.
In art,
My earlier article about thinking outside the box stopped short of talking about the rebuilding of a new box. And here we get into the nitty gritty of it. The rebellion side of the coin is easy. The rebuilding of a new ethic, set of values, a new mode of politics, ect. is a horse of a different color. So easy to become nihilistic at this stage. If all the values, gods, religions, current modes of thinking, and so one go out the window what's next?
Humanity, it seems to me, is in the process of coming to grips with the problem. If we do not succeed collectively we are in big doo doo. The understanding neccessary is left up to the creative minds working on the edge asking hard questions.
These are just some thoughts flying around in my head. Remembering that answers do, in fact, come before questions does not help a lot. The questions seem so huge. Is there nothing else to do but patiently watch things unfold in slow motion?
So, here I am, contemplating the reentrance to my artistic path. It sseems that I've been off-track for some time now. As much as I've been a student of tradition, I likewise have been quite sensitive to world happenings,ect.
My move resulting in a new mode of life and a new atelier:
I'll keep you posted about my first steps back on the path.
In art & love,
Published in french as Retour sur le chemin

Cite Ownership of Many Guns As Suspicious By Harold Hutchison
A joint Homeland Security/FBI report issued this part August appears to be sliming gun collectors as potential terrorists. The alert citing the Norwegian gunman who killed over 70 people, came months after Obama's gun-grabbing agenda was beaten back in the United States Senate.
Author Invented Techno-Thriller By SOF
Author Tom Clancy passed away Tuesday evening while in a Baltimore hospital after what multiple media reports described as a "brief illness." He was 66 years old.
Clancy, whose first novel, Hunt for Red October, marked the invention of the techno-thriller, never served in the military. His novels generally featured positive portrayals of military personnel, and often featured cutting-edge military technology that was accurately described.
Robert K. Brown, former Green Beret, after a bizarre military career that succeeded in getting him kicked out of Special Forces not once but twice, and completing the Command and General Staff College without a security clearance, while meantime being wounded in Nam, finally found his true calling as a publisher.
Gun rights for all Americans may rest in the outcome of a recall election in Colorado's State Senate District 11, where defenders of the Second Amendment are trying to unseat Colorado Senate President John Morse -- the architect of Colorado's notorious new jobs-killing gun-control laws.
NOTICE ON INTERNATIONAL ORDERS For international orders, RKB's memoirs are available from Casemate Publishing's UK site.

Many have heard the familiar phrase, "There is no such thing as an atheist in a fox hole." Where did this come from?
Research I verified in an interview with former World War II prisoner of war Roy Bodine (my friend) indicates the phrase has been credited to Father William Cummings.
As the story goes, Father Cummings was a civilian missionary Catholic priest in the Philippines.
The phrase was coined during the Japanese attack at Corregidor.
Barack Obama is ignoring a growing terror threat, Robert K. Brown says, and is not doing enough to handle it. The comments came in an interview with Newsmax TV.
Obama Administration Uses Non-Disclosure Agreements By Harold Hutchison
The Obama Administration has asked – or ordered – a number of survivors of last year's attack on the consulate in Benghazi, Libya, to sign non-disclosure agreements. These NDAs prohibit people from revealing details of the attack that could aid Congressional investigators who are looking into both the attack and the Obama Administration's response.

There should be room in the literature for studies that demonstrate that the null hypothesis was indeed supported by the data. Negative results may not be great for getting additional funding but they do add to our understanding of whatever phenomena is being studied and can save not only investigator embarrassment but also waste research effort..

Review: The Modernist eye
'If any period can be said to have encompassed the full potential of photography, it would have to be the era between the two world wars. Photography was not only enriched by expanded roles in journalism, advertising, and publicity, but it was nourished also by acceptance within avant-garde movements in the graphic arts.' Naomi Rosenblum's introduction to this period, from her epic study A World History of Photography (Abbeville Press), would provide an excellent accompaniment to this ...

Petition Calls On Congress To Dress Like NASCAR Drivers
By editor
Originally published on Fri March 22, 2013 8:55 am
Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. This idea surfaced at We the People, the web page that lets you petition the White House. A petition calls on member of Congress to dress like NASCAR drivers. Most race drivers wear outfits covered with the names of sponsors. This plan would require lawmakers to be covered with patches announcing the names of their major donors. So far, this proposal is short of the needed signatures. They made need a sponsor to get their campaign over the top. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

UFC Top 10 Pound For Pound Fighters
UFC Top 10 Pound For Pound Fighters
Written by
Scott Swerbinsky
With some time between big fights, I've asked Swerbs Blurbs boxing analyst Scott Swerbinsky to write some mixed martial art fighting stuff for us, and he was happy to oblige. Basically, anything involving people beating the shit out of each other is of immense interest to my cuz. Here's his top ten pound for pound in the UFC.
1) Chuck "The Iceman" Liddell Light Heavyweight Champion (185lbs-205lbs)
The face of the UFC and MMA. He has taken on all comers and his standup game is the best in the business. He is fearless and is a world-class wrestler. Currently recovering from toe surgery but looks to fight #1 contender Renato "Babalu" Sobral.
2) Matt Hughes Welterweight Champion (155lbs-170lbs)
The most dominant Welterweight champ in UFC history. Another superstar who will fight anyone at anytime. His takedowns and wrestling is unmatched. Trains as if he is an up and comer and career rides on it. Showdown on May 27th with MMA and UFC legend Royce Gracie.
3) Rich "Ace" Frankin - Middleweight Champion (170lbs- 185lbs)
The most upside of all fighters in the UFC. This guy gets better and better every single fight. He has made top guys look like rookies in his last few fights. Top notch standup and grappling. His wrestling has yet to be tested due to his striking ability. This guy trains like a madman and it sure does show in the Octagon. Recovering from a broken hand suffered in his pounding of David "the Crow" Loiseau.
4) Andre Arlovski - Heavyweight (205lbs-265lbs)
A physical freak. Just lost his heavyweight title to Tim Sylvia (see #5) His striking and athleticism is scary for a guy his size. His ground game is also top notch. Submission defense seems to be his only weakness. Rubber match with Sylvia will determine real king of the big boys.
5) Tim "the Maine-iac" Sylvia - Heavyweight Champion
Just beat Arlovski by KO to regain title. His striking and standup are unreal for a huge guy. His chin is suspect and Arlovski rocked him early in both fights. His heart is as big as his body. Only weakness I have seen is submissions.
6) George "Rush" St Pierre #1 Contender Welterweight Division
Looks to get rematch with Hughes soon. Lost in a very good fight at UFC 50 by armbar with 1 second left in the round. Hasn't lost in 4 fights since. Another physical freak. All around game is top of the food chain. One of the best fighters to watch do to his all around game.
7) Renato "Babalu" Sobral #1 Contender Light Heavyweight Division
Another superstar looking to win a rematch. Lost to Check Liddell on a perfect leg kick to the head at UFC 40. Will get his chance soon after Liddell returns from injury. Submissions and ground game are the best in the division. He is a very improved striker. Rematch will be a must see. Won last 3 UFC fights since KO by Chuck.
8)Tito "Huntington Beach Bad Boy" Ortiz - Light Heavyweight
My favorite fighter. His cardio is unmatched. His wrestling is awesome. Heart of a champion. Chin is suspect at times. Has been away from the UFC too long but is back. Just won a great fight with Forrest Griffin at UFC 59. Will be looking to climb up the ladder he used to be king of. Set to fight Ken Shamrock in a rematch in July.
9) Joe "Diesel" Riggs - Middleweight
This guy has fought all comers and has fought at 3 different weight classes. One of the most feared strikers in the business. His training looks to have gotten much better and mentally is always ready to fight. Fighting up and comer Mike Swick at UFC 60.
10) BJ "The Prodigy" Penn - Middleweight
Another former champ who recently came back to the UFC. Lost a close fight to #6 fighter George St Pierre. Has beaten Matt Hughes. His conditioning is great and take down defense is superb. Hopefully he sticks around for a while to get rematch with both Hughes and St Pierre.

What will our transportation future look like in 2030? It is a way off, I know, but a draft plan hopes to plot a 20-year course for Washington State's transportation system, focusing on funding, service challenges, and solutions. More importantly, once this plan is complete, it will be submitted to the Governor and the 2011 Legislature. So take the time to read and send comments to the Washington State Transportation Commission because your voice matters. Check the press release below.
Washington State Transportation Commission
Reema Griffith
Executive Director, Washington State Transportation Commission
P.O. Box 47308; Olympia, WA 98504-7308
Phone: 360-705-7070
Washington's Future Transportation System Is Taking Shape
Olympia, WA - August 3, 2010 - The Washington State Transportation Commission (Commission) has released the draft Washington Transportation Plan (WTP 2030) for public review and comment. The Commission led the development of WTP 2030 with ongoing engagement and input from a diverse stakeholder Advisory Group and other partners around the state and will finalize the plan in December 2010.
WTP 2030 sets a 20-year course for Washington State's transportation system. It identifies long-term funding shortfalls, service needs, and system wide challenges along with recommended solutions and approaches aimed at moving our transportation network into the future. Once finalized, the plan will be submitted to the Governor and the 2011 Legislature.
The Plan is grounded in seven overarching themes:
-The State's transportation system needs to work as an integrated network, effectively connecting across modes and jurisdictions
-Preservation and maintenance of the existing transportation system is the most critical need
-Washington faces a structural transportation funding problem and additional revenue is needed
-Transportation policy should support and reinforce other state policy objectives
-The relationship between land use and transportation is key
-There are significant differences across regions and one size does not fit all
-Policy planning must continue its evolution to performance-based programs
"In order to move our state's transportation system into the future, we must have a cohesive plan that helps guide and coordinate long-term investment and policy decision making across modes and jurisdictions," said Carol Moser, Commission Chair and WTP Advisory Group member. "Because this plan impacts each and every one of our futures, it is so important that everyone statewide get involved and have a say in how they will travel from point A to point B, and how it should be paid for over the next 20 years."
"Even though the state is making substantial investments with revenues generated by recent gas tax increases, the last WTP four years ago identified a $67 billion need. That number has grown exponentially since then."
Public input is an important part of developing WTP 2030. In September, the Commission will hold five "listening sessions." The purpose of these sessions is to give people across the state an opportunity to share their views to help shape the content and priorities of the plan. Session locations and dates are provided on the Commission's website at: http://wstc.wa.gov/WTP_New/default.htm.
The public can view WTP 2030 on the Commission's website (http://wstc.wa.gov/WTP_New/default.htm). The Commission's website also features an online public input tool that gives citizens the opportunity to comment on transportation issues and priorities as well as comment on specific portions of the plan. Comments will also be accepted by e-mail at email@example.com or by mail (P.O. Box 47308, Olympia, WA 98504-7308) through October 15, 2010. Additional information about the plan will also be provided on the WTP 2030 blog (http://wtp2030.wordpress.com).

5 Meetup Groups match "Bacon" near Astoria, NY
There are no upcoming Meetups.
Are you a newly-converted Real Food enthusiast? Are you looking for delicious recipes, organic farms or a local Co-op to join? Do you want to meet up with others to share stories and impart experience and knowledge on newcomers? Or are you a newcomer and want to latch onto those experienced real-foodologists?? (raises hand!) Do you want to know what's the deal with that raw dairy stuff anyway? Are you looking to visit organic farms in NJ and Pennsylvania, find restaurants with grass-fed meat, or …
The Breakdown: We read good books. We're looking for other intellectually curious, like-minded 20somethings (a vague guideline) in Astoria (another vague guideline) to read them with us, share some food, drink, and sweet convo. The Criteria For Choosing Said Good Books: Magical language (with a healthy dash of magical realism), fresh voices (love a debut) irreverent to painfully relevant, growing up, growing old, dying, coming back to life, urban culture to Southern idyllicy, savory books that y …
There are no upcoming Meetups.
They say to make it in Hollywood, it isn't what you know, but WHO you know... ...and if Kevin Bacon has taught us anything in life, it's that each of us is only separated by a few degrees. Here at Awoken Artists, we want to bridge that gap even more. Connecting Creativity Our goal is to help artistic minds network and collaborate. We range from working professionals in all genres of the entertainment industry -- film, television & stage, actors, writers & performers. We even made room for yo …
Meetup details are available only to members.
"REGIONAL"... not cuisine based on geography, but that this group will make a point of switching up the (primarily Manhattan) neighborhoods it visits :) and may do "theme months" (November in Nolita, for example). "AFTER WORK"...meaning (most of) our events will be on weeknights. (1) THE PURPOSE: So many restaurants, so many food meetups. Our special/unique focus will be really getting to know each other. The groups will be small, with NO FOODIE TALK ALLOWED! Let's be revolutionary New Yorkers …
There are no upcoming Meetups.
I see so many great food-related festivals and events going on in NYC throughout the year, but I believe I probably miss out on even more that I never hear about! So I thought it would be fun to put together a group to keep each other informed of events and hang out at them. For example, I just realized that I missed the Lobster Rumble a few weeks ago, but will be 100% attending the upcoming Bacon Bash and Cheesemonger Invitational! (as of 6/23/12) Please feel free to schedule events, and/or sen …

After almost two years of planning the Yamaha National Band Championships Adelaide 2011 have been officially launched. It began in spectacular style with the current Australian Champion Marching Concert Band, Unley Concert Band, marching along Rundle Mall to the tune of "Waltzing Matilda". They then delighted spectators with a selection of rousing music. Dr Kevin Cameron, the President of the National Band Council of Australia, officially launched the Yamaha National Band Championships. The Band marched away along the Mall. We were then treated to a concert by the Para Hills Brass Band.
The challenge presented by ANZAC Day falling on Easter Monday has influenced the scheduling. Brass Bands will complete their competition on Saturday thus allowing them to travel home to meet commitments. However, should they wish to stay on they are invited to join us in our celebrations. In lieu of a Gala Concert a major ANZAC Day event is being planned.
For more detailed information about any aspect of these championships see the relevant section of this website.

Five Things to Teach Your Children This Christmas
Are You Chasing Happiness or Holiness?
Surrendering Our Children
Our grandson, Orison, is three years old. Judging by his interests during our Sunday afternoon backyard picnic, I would have said he was aspiring to stardom as an ace batter or as a trumpet player in a marching band (using the wiffle bat as his trumpet).
It would be fine if he achieved either of those goals. But I smiled when I read his mom's blog this morning and glimpsed much deeper, higher, and broader possibilities: "Mom, I'm going to Kenya."
That was make-believe, but games reflect a child's desires and interests. My smile reached deep into my heart when I read Molly's yearning that God make her ready for whatever he has for Orison in future years.
May we all pray with Moll…
We Get the Feast; He Gets the Fame
Jonathan Edwards put it this way:
God doubtless will entertain his saints according to the state of the King of heaven, when he comes to entertain them at the feast that he has provided.... We read of Ahasuerus, a great king, when he made a feast unto all his princes and servants, he showed the riches of his glorious kingdom, and the power of his excellent majesty, and gave drink in vessels of gold, and royal wine in abundance, according to the state of the king [Esther 1]. So doubtless the happiness of the saints in heaven shall be so great, that the very majesty of God shall be exceedingly shown in the greatness, and magnificence, and fullness of their enjoyments and delights…
Something Everybody Agrees About
My theology is the conviction that this quote from St. Augustine tells us more about God's good design than our bad depravity.
The desire for happiness is not in myself alone or in a few friends, but is found in everybody. If we did not know this with certain knowledge, we would not want it with determination in our will. But what does this mean?
If two people are asked if they want to serve in the army, it may turn out that one of them replies that he would like to do so, while the other would not. But if they are asked whether they would like to be happy, each would at once say without the least hesitation that he would choose to be so. And the reason why one wo…
Does God Lie?
Short answer: No. God never says anything like: "I am not God." Or: "You are not sinful." Or: "Christ is not a great Savior." Or: "If you believe in Christ, you will not be saved." Or: "It is foolish to follow my counsel." Or: "My word is unreliable."
But God does ordain that lying happen as part of his judgment on the guilty. That is why the question comes up...

When a Psalm Is Not Your Situation
Because the Psalms are so personal, they often do not represent the mood or the situation we are in when we read them. For example, a couple mornings ago I read Psalm 142. It says,
There is none who takes notice of me; no refuge remains to me; no one cares for my soul. (v. 4)
I am brought very low! (v. 6)
I do not share this lament at this time. There are many who care for my soul. And I am not presently very low. I have known times more like this. But it is not true of me now.
So what should we do when we read psalms that do not represent our present experience?
- Realize that somewhere in the world there are Christians who right now …
More Gratitude for Jon Bloom
Dear Jon,
Your faithfulness as the creator and leader of Desiring God has been a gift to me beyond all deserving or imagining for these last fifteen years.
Who would have dreamed the little church tape ministry would be Desiring God? God alone. You are exactly the leader Desiring God needs. You embody the spirit and life that I long for this ministry to awaken in others.
Some can say things accurately; you feel the preciousness of what is said and the reality behind it.
You have tasted the Treasure that Christ is.
You have drunk at the fountain of sovereign grace.
You have absorbed the humbling impact of the glory of free mercy.
You live the amazed life of g…
A Letter to My Husband, Jon Bloom
July 15th marked 15 years since you started as John Piper's assistant and soon started Desiring God and became the Executive Director. (People wondered what you would do with that anthropology major!)
As your wife I've been watching, admiring, and learning from you through this adventure of faith. And today I want to publicly celebrate God's grace in your life and honor you, my dearest earthly love.
A passion for God has characterized you since before we met (me at 15, you at 17). That's what I found so attractive and still do. You not only talk about abiding in Christ, you do abide in him and his Word abides in you.
I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abide…
Why God Doesn't Fully Explain Pain
One of the reasons God rarely gives micro reasons for his painful providences, but regularly gives magnificent macro reasons, is that there are too many micro reasons for us to manage, namely, millions and millions and millions and millions and millions.
God says things like:
- These bad things happened to you because I intend to work it together for your good (Romans 8).
- These happened so that you would rely more on God who raises the dead (2 Corinthians 1).
- This happened so that the gold and silver of your faith would be refined (1 Peter 1).
- This thorn is so that the power of Christ would be magnified in your weakness (2 Corinthians 12).
But we can always object that th…
The Glory of Preaching the Bible
Happy birthday, John Calvin. Today we celebrate your 499th birthday. Your preaching inspires me to press on with this great and glorious task of heralding the Word of God.
T. H. L. Parker's 1975 biography tells why:
And so we trace him preaching on Sundays with one hundred and eighty-nine sermons on the Acts between 1549 and 1554, a shorter series on some of the Pauline letters between 1554 and 1558, and the sixty-five on the Harmony of the Gospels between 1559 and 1564. During this time the weekdays saw series on Jeremiah and Lamentations (up to 1550), on the Minor Prophets and Daniel (1550-2), the one hundred and seventy-four on Ezekiel (1552-4), the one hundred and fif…
Morning Meditations on 4 Parts of the Bible
I hope you are reading your Bible steadily through the summer. I hope you don't miss a day. "On his law he meditates day and night" (Psalms 1:2). I pray that there are times when it tastes so good, you slow down and steep your heart in it. Today was an especially rich day for me.
I was reading in four parts of the Bible—not for any preparation, but just to feed my soul. In every text another text came to mind that made each clearer. And that blew some fog away so I could see and enjoy God more fully...

The International Acadian Festival takes place the third weekend in October in Plaquemine, Louisiana. The first International Acadian Festival was founded by Gary Hebert and celebrated in 1969. This year will mark its thirty-fourth year to be celebrated. It is currently sponsored by the Plaquemine Knights of Columbus Council 970. This three day festival is held to celebrate the arrival of the Acadian people to Louisiana and the arrival of Evangeline. Evangeline is the Acadian woman that was separated from her love and spent the remainder of her life searching for him. The festival serves as a major fundraiser to provide money for area schools, churches, and youth groups in the Plaquemine area.
During this festival a pageant is held for local high school girls who want to win the Evangeline crown. The girls that do not win the pageant receive the honor of being Indian princesses. A fireworks display and bonfire marks the crowning of the winner and the Indian princesses.
After the crowning a parade is held. Following the parade, people can enjoy the sounds of live music and dancing. There are also cooking contests and art contests. Children can enjoy the many rides, games, and cajun foods that the festival has.
So who are the Acadians you ask?
After the French and Indian War, about 4,000 French speaking people living in Acadia an area in Canada by the British. Some of these French speaking people arrived in Louisiana and today we call them Cajuns.
