Top Three Moments of UFC Fight Night 81
Tuesday, January 19, 2016
Fight of the Night: TJ Dillashaw versus Dominick Cruz
Not that there was every any doubt what fight was going to win fight of the night, Dillashaw and Cruz absolutely brought it. In a display of footwork that would leave most people exhausted just by watching, Dominick Cruz was able to escape the power and speed of TJ Dillashaw for much of the fight earning a tough split decision victory. Cruz was able to roll with many of the shots that Dillashaw was working inside with doing a masterful job of reducing the amount of damage he was taking from the champion. That being said, he did not avoid ALL the offense that Dillashaw unloaded. In fact, the Fight Analytics breakdown of the fight showed that the two fighters were landing a very similar number of punches but Cruz was landing at a better percentage.
I have watched the fight three times now and I have come to this conclusion: Dillashaw was the aggressor and landed what I would argue were the more significant strikes of the fight. His head kick in round five could have easily put Cruz down if it hadn't been partially blocked. Cruz, on the other hand, was the clear winner in the category of defense. He defended or made Dillashaw miss on over one hundred strikes, amazing. As far as scoring the fight goes, on my initial scoring, I gave it to Cruz. On my second viewing, I thought it could have been a draw. After my third and final viewing, I believe the judges got this one wrong. For me, the aggression of Dillashaw far outweighed the takedowns of Cruz and that was the real difference for me. That being said, I am not mad at the outcome in the least. Cruz just completed what was the probably the most amazing comeback in the history of professional athletics and he earned the win. I would bet my bottom dollar that we see this fight again and hopefully soon.
Knockout of the Night: Ed Herman
Last week I wrote about this fight. I had a feeling that the matchup between Ed Herman and Tim Boetsch was one that would bring the fireworks and it really came through for me. In what would be Ed Herman's first ever fight at light heavyweight, he proved he had the power to hang with the big boys. After a first round that saw Herman rocked by the powerful Boetsch, he recovered nicely to use his old school Team Quest "dirty boxing" to set up a series of knee strikes that eventually scored him his first knockout in five years. Boetsch looked slower than in some of his past performances and he didn't work the angles that would have allowed him to move away from the length of Herman. At 35 years old, this could be the last chance for Herman to make a push toward a title shot and after his fight he made sure to let everyone know why he believes the time is now. Herman made a great post fight speech in which he stated, "I've been a clean fighter my entire career. I think that's an advantage for me at 205." Herman went on to say that now that the sport is getting cleaned up (in terms of PED use), he feels more comfortable competing at his natural weight class. I for one think that is a huge step in the right direction for Herman and I hope more fighters follow suit. This win puts Herman at 1-0 since returning to his home in the greater Portland area, another trend I hope to see continue.
Surprise of the Night: Eddie Alvarez Defeats Anthony Pettis
The co-main event for this card featured two fighters who were both in desperate need of a win. Anthony Pettis was coming off the loss of his UFC lightweight title to current champ, Rafael dos Anjos. Pettis was soundly defeated in their matchup and following the fight suffered an injury that kept him out of action for the better part of a year. If Pettis hoped to stay relevant in the lightweight title picture, a win against Alvarez was paramount. Alvarez, since coming to the UFC, has only faced top five competitors. After going 1-1 in UFC action, he needed to have a performance that would show the world how dominant he could be in the Octagon. In the cage against Pettis, it was clear that Alvarez had a game plan; he wanted to out wrestle Pettis and nullify the arsenal of strikes the flashy former champion is known for. Alvarez had no problem doing just that on his way to a split decision victory. It was kind of odd to me that this one was a split decision, seemed pretty obvious he had won.
Here is why the loss by Pettis sort of shocked me. First of all, he has struggled against the takedown as of late and all signs pointed to this being a major concern during his camp. He left his base camp to train with top wrestling coaches and still was unable to stop the takedown of Alvarez. Secondly, Alvarez isn't a physically imposing guy at 155 lbs; he could easily make the cut to featherweight. Once Alvarez overpowered Pettis, it seemed clear that Pettis was going to loss out on the decision. And lastly, Eddie Alvarez is usually a brawl for it all kind of fighter. While some might be disappointed in his performance since it was the classic slugfest he is known for, I found his cerebral approach to be a sign of maturity. Following the win, Alvarez called for a title shot, maybe that's a bit premature but another win or two and he's right there.
This card was a real winner in terms of excitement. Eight out of thirteen fights got finished, a title changed hands, Alvarez is slowly emerging as a contender, and Ed Herman showed up looking like he's ready to take one last crack at UFC gold. All and all, I'd say UFC Fight Night 81 was pretty awesome.
Related Slideshow: Oregon's Most Devastating Sports Injuries
Here is GoLocalPDX's list of Oregon's most devastating injuries that have occured within the past 10 years.
Greg Oden
Sept. 2007 — Micro fracture surgery on right knee
Dec. 2009 — Fractured left patella
Nov. 2010 — Micro fracture surgery on left knee
Dec. 2011 — Arthroscopic surgery on right knee
Unfortunately, Trail Blazer fans everywhere already know how drafting Greg Oden over Kevin Durant worked out for their team. After being be the #1 selection in the 2007 NBA Draft, Oden was never able to play a full season due to ongoing knee injuries. The team eventually waived him in March of 2012.

Dennis Dixon
Nov. 2007 — Torn left ACL
During the 2007 season Dixon had the Oregon Ducks as the #2 team in the country. That was until he suffered a torn ACL against Arizona State and attempted to play on it the following week against Arizona. After Dixon went down for the season the Ducks lost their remaining two regular season games. Fortunately, they were able to end their season on a high note with a victory over South Florida in the 2007 Sun Bowl.

Brandon Roy
Sept. 2008 — Cartilage removed from left knee
April 2010 — Meniscus tear in right knee
Jan. 2011 — Arthroscopic surgery on both knees
Brandon Roy is perhaps one of the most beloved Trail Blazers in the history of the franchise. After being drafted in 2006, and leading the team out of the "Jail-Blazer" era, he had to make the tough decision to retire at the young age of 28. His degenerative knees prevented Rip City from seeing their superstar ever play to his full potential.

Jacquizz Rodgers
Nov. 2008 — Grade II separation of the acromioclavicular joint
During the second to last game in 2008 Jacquizz Rodgers suffered a separated shoulder that ended his season. Unfortunately, this meant that he wasn't able to play in the Civil War, which was perhaps the biggest game of the year for the Beavers. If the Beavers had been able to defeat the Ducks they would've been able to book their tickets to play in the Rose Bowl. Instead, they went to the Sun Bowl where they defeated the Pittsburgh Panthers.

James Rodgers
Oct. 2009 — Torn left ACL
After participating in only 4 games during the 2009 season Rodgers went down with a torn ACL while playing against #9 Arizona. This couldn't have come at a worse time for Rodgers considering he was expected to have a breakout season. Rodgers, who was a senior at the time, was able to end his career at Oregon State as the career leader in all-purpose yards.

Joel Pryzbilla
Dec. 2009 — Ruptured right patella tendon and dislocated patella
In December of 2009 the Trail Blazers' backup center, Joel Pryzbilla, was lost for the season with a ruptured and dislocated patella. This was a huge blow to the Trailblazers' frontcourt because they had already lost Oden for the season a few weeks before. Pryzbilla was also the team's defensive anchor who provided an inside presence. "The Vanilla Gorilla" was sorely missed for the rest of the year.

LaMichael James
Oct. 2011 — Dislocated right elbow
The 2011 season couldn't have started any better for LaMichael James. After the first game James became Oregon's career rushing leader, surpassing Derek Loville. During the second game he rushed for over 200 yards against Missouri State. Unfortunately, James' year was slowed by a dislocated elbow suffered against Cal. Luckily for Duck fans he was able to return to end the season.

Nate Costa
Nov. 2010 —Torn Right ACL
After suffering a multitude of knee injuries throughout his career at Oregon Costa was forced to officially retire from football after tearing his ACL for the third time in agame against Washington. Although Costa's career was hobbled by injuries many of his teammates looked to him as their leader. Oregon's coaching staff referred to Costa as the "heart and soul" of the 2010 team that won the Rose Bowl.

Sean Mannion
Oct. 2012 — Torn Left Meniscus
During the beginning of the 2012-2013 season, Sean Mannion was enjoying one of his best as a Beaver. Unfortunately, he tore his left meniscus against Washington State that resulted in him missing around half the season. With Mannion leading the way the Beavers had the Pac-12's fourth rated offense, averaging 459.5 yeards per game. With Mannion sidelined Cody Vaz became the starting quarterback

Marcus Mariota
Oct. 2013 — Partial MCL Tear
Marcus Mariota is widely regarded as one of the greatest Oregon Duck quarterbacks to ever play at Autzen. Unfortunately a knee injury hobbled his sophomore season. After Mariota suffered a partial MCL tear against UCLA he conintued to play the remainder of the season. With Mariota's knee not allowing him to be as mobile as he was accustomed to teams were able to take advantage. In the weeks following the injury the Ducks suffered losses to Stanford and Arizona. Duck fans everywhere would like to know what that season woud've loked like if Mariota had stayed healthy.

CJ McCollum
Oct. 2013 — Broken fifth Metatarsal In Left Foot
After being taken 10th overall during the 2013 NBA Draft the shooting guard out of Lehigh wasn't able to start his career the way many had hoped. After breaking the fifth metatarsal bone in his left foot the rookie wasn't able to take the court until January of 2014. Before the injury McCollum was in consideration for playing time behind Lillard.

Alex Morgan
Oct. 2013 — Stress reaction in talus bone
During the 2013 season Morgan suffered an injury that doctors misdiagnosed as a mildly sprained ankle. After a few additional tests were performed it turned out that Morgan had suffered a far more serious injury. She actually suffered a stress reaction in the talus bone that put her immediate future with Team USA in question. After rehabbing for 7 months Morgan was able to make a full recovery.

Bralon Addison
April 2014 — Torn left ACL
After exceeding expectations as a freshman and sophomore at the University of Oregon Addison was expecting big things from his junior year. Unfortunately, Addison suffered a torn ACL during last year's spring practice that kept him sidelined the entire year. Without Addison in the lineup the receiving core never lived up to their full potential. If he had been able to play this season the National Championship may have wielded a different outcome.

Ifo Ekpre-Olomu
Dec. 2014 — Torn ACL
In preparation for the first ever college football playoffs Ekpre-Olomu ended up tearing his ACL during a routine practice. This was a huge blow to the Ducks considering Ekpre-Olomu was one of the team's better defenders. He was also one of the best corners in the country who many analysists expected to be selected as high as the first round of the 2015 NFL Draft.

Wesley Matthews
March 2015 — Torn left achilles
Just 2 months before Matthews suffered a torn achilles he had become the Trailblazers' all-time leader in 3-point field goals made. It looked as though the Trailblazers were poised to make a deep playoff run. Things took a drastic turn when Matthews was lost for the season. With the team in a 0-2 hole against the Memphis Grizzlies it doesn't look as though they will be making it to the second round of the playoffs this year.

59: New York Pretty/
A note about the new character being introduced in this strip, Burt Epstein:
I do not have an older brother. I have two sisters, one two years older and one two years younger. I decided to give Mallorie three fictional siblings (an older brother and twin younger sisters), so that I could warp the characters however I chose. A lot of times comedy requires making everyone look incompetent, foolish, a little dim and often times deeply flawed. This is not how I want to portray my real family and I'm pretty sure they'd flay me alive if I tried it in the name of comedic effect. Burt shares in common with my older sister semitic good looks, a love of books and barely anything else. He is the first almost entirely fictional principal character to enter the story.

Takeaways From Pa. Hospital Merger Investigation
Jeffrey Brennan, James Camden and Ashley Fischer wrote this bylined article to describe a consent order filed by Pennsylvania's Attorney General to settle antitrust charges involving a hospital acquisition. The authors pointed out that the FTC did not challenge the purchase and that the state agreed to a conduct remedy and did not enjoin the transaction, likely because of the hospital's financial difficulties. They concluded that the case offers a "promising precedent … of an alliance between a struggling hospital and its larger and more financially sound, but proximately close, rival."

text: Today not only marks the eighth anniversary of the 2001 attacks on America. It is also the first National Day of Service and Remembrance as proclaimed by President Obama. This is far more than turning lemons into lemonade. It is in fact a way to remember all those Americans who perished during the attacks on the Twin Towers, the Pentagon and the aborted attempt on the White House. It is a way to honor the survivors of those families and at the same time to forge an amalgam of determined, altruistic service providers and give them an opportunity to make our nation ever more strong and supportive of one another. If the September 11 attacks showed our terrorist enemies one thing, it was that we as a nation are ready to come to one another's aid in a time of crisis and that we are an irrepressible force who will never be deterred in the purpose of providing our citizens with life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Those men and women who render charitable service to others should be honored for all they do in making this a better place in which to live. May their actions today strengthen the bonds of peace and love and make our enemies even more fearful of our resiliency and resolve.

text: Starting 8/19-9/12/2010 Costco Wholesale will offer the Vibrant for $50, after instant savings and mail in rebate. Disclaimer: (I'm basing this off their current 199 new customer/upgrade pricing, unless they decide to switch it up on the 19th) Details: -Samsung Vibrant new or upgrading customers with data package. If you are upgrading, you can keep your current rate plan, but you need to add data if you don't have it. -Free Assesories Car Charger, Case, Bluetooth (cheap china chunk, probably worth 5 bucks) -90 Day return/exchange (more on this below) -35 dollar activation fee waived! *credit applied to your bill within 3 months for NEW LINES.* -18 dollar upgrade fee applies to upgrades New or upgrade price with data package. Both require 2yr contract. Eearly Term Fees apply. 199.99 (unless they raise this on the 19th) -100 instant with coupon -50 mail in rebate -------------------- $50 bucks Total Cost, plus tax on full retail 479.99 Details on 90 day return, it comes with a caveat. After 30 days in California, and 14 days in other states, you are locked into T-Mobiles contract. However, Costco will allow you to exchange or return the phone beyond this remorse period, up to 90 days, YET you are STILL locked into the contract AFTER your remorse ENDS. Costco has no control over your remorse period. Furthermore, after your 30 or 14 day remorse period, your exchange/return will cost you full retail price. You completely lose out on your new customer or upgrade pricing beyond your remorse period. For Example, if you live in California, you have 30 days remorse with T-mobile contracts, and 90 day costco return. If you want to exchange your vibrant on days 31-90, you will no longer qualify to get your exchanged phone at the new/upgrade price. In fact you completely lose your upgrade pricing, and you will have to pay full retail(almost 500) for the Vibrant for exchanges done between days 31-90, or out of California days 15-90. Also for those slick customers who think they can use the Vibrant for 89 days, then on day 90 switch to the latest T-Mobile phone. You can't do this either without paying full retail price on your new phone, again because you lose your upgrade pricing after your remorse period ends. So if on day 90 you see a different model phone you like better than the Vibrant, you can return the Vibrant, get your 199 back(if you didn't cut out the box for the rebate). Then you can apply this 199 towards the full retail price of a new phone of your choosing. You may want to ask Costco returns/manager at your local store how they handle cell phone even exchanges. They may make an exception and let you exchange with rebate cut box, and they may infact let you get an even exchange for another vibrant beyond your remorse period, as long as all transactions occur at your original Costco of purchase. Again verify this with a manager first, as some managers might do even exchanges beyond remorse, others will make you pay full retail for your exchanged phone. Do not ask the Kiosk people, they don't know anything and are a 3rd party company. Also you may or may not need this coupon, you can't print this, you may need the actual coupon. If you don't have it, sometimes the people at membership can give you 1 if they have extras. Also sometimes, for cell phones, the Kiosk writes up the coupon code on the purchase form, meaning you may not need the actual coupon. ps...I meant Vibrant not Vibrat...lol Final thoughts. The people working at the Kiosk are Wireless Advocate Employees. They make commision and have sales numbers to hit. I've noticed in the past, they offer to set up your mail in rebate for you. Nicely tell them no thank you, you will do it at home. The pushy ones will set up your rebate forms in the store, and cut out your box right there, meaning they basically assured now you can't do a return, and they wont lose the sale, since most places don't accept returns on cut out cell phone boxes. Just keep this in mind, if you are unsure about the phone, and may do a return, ask them not to do the rebate form for you, you will do it yourself when you get home. For those who don't even want to bother with the mail in rebate, you still get the 100 instant, making the Vibrant $99 plus taxes on full retail.

Apparatus and method for treating a cathode material provided on a thin-film substrate
United States Patent
|February 11, 2003
|View the Complete Patent at the US Patent & Trademark Office
|An apparatus and method for treating a cathode material provided on a surface of a continuous thin-film substrate and a treated thin-film cathode having increased smoothness are disclosed. A web of untreated cathode material is moved between a feed mechanism and a take-up mechanism, and passed through a treatment station. The web of cathode material typically includes areas having surface defects, such as prominences extending from the surface of the cathode material. The surface of the cathode material is treated with an abrasive material to reduce the height of the prominences so as to increase an 85 degree gloss value of the cathode material surface by at least approximately 10. The web of cathode material may be subjected to a subsequent abrasive treatment at the same or other treatment station. Burnishing or lapping film is employed at a treatment station to process the cathode material. An abrasive roller may alternatively be used to process the web of cathode material. The apparatus and method of the present invention may also be employed to treat the surface of a lithium anode foil so as to cleanse and reduce the roughness of the anode foil surface.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- With the House nearing a vote on measures designed to protect consumer privacy, key Democratic lawmakers on Tuesday pushed for tighter restrictions on companies' sharing financial data from their customers.
Hanging in the balance is sweeping legislation to remove Depression-era barriers between banks, securities firms and insurance companies.
Consumer and privacy advocacy groups, meanwhile, pressed President Clinton to get involved in the congressional privacy battle.
"It is critical that Congress act now.... We urge you to tell Congress to (enact) the protections for personal privacy," a coalition of groups, including Consumer Federation of America, Consumers Union, U.S. Public Interest Research Group and the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse, said in a letter to Clinton dated Monday.
Hanging in the balance is sweeping legislation to remove Depression-era barriers between banks, securities firms and insurance companies. The House is expected to vote in a few days on the package, which includes the consumer privacy provisions.
Democrats urge stricter controls
The Democratic amendment, recently adopted in a surprise move by the House Commerce Committee, would allow consumers to stop banks, securities firms and other financial service companies from sharing their personal data with affiliated or outside companies.
The alternative provision being pushed by the Republican leadership would allow consumers to block companies from selling the data to outside firms, such as telemarketers, but not from sharing it with affiliated companies under the same corporate parent.
Key Democrats, who support the financial overhaul legislation, are threatening to vote against the bill if it does not contain the stricter privacy amendment they are pushing.
In that case, "it will only be half a bill," Rep. Edward Markey, D-Mass., principal author of the amendment, said at a news conference.
Markey and other Democratic lawmakers objected to Republican leaders excluding their amendment from a House vote in favor of one more acceptable to the financial services industries. Their objection was so strong they were calling a special meeting of all House Democrats to discuss the issue.
Financial overhaul in jeopardy
The Democratic lawmakers were joined by a Republican, Rep. Joe Barton of Texas, who said he and other GOP lawmakers also would vote against a financial overhaul package without the stricter privacy measures.
Without the measures, "There is real doubt whether the bill passes," Barton said. "That's something the (financial) industry needs to think about."
At the same time, the banking, securities and insurance industries, which have lobbied for financial overhaul legislation for years, say inclusion of stringent privacy amendments would kill their support for the House bill.
A spokesman for the House Rules Committee, which reflects the views of the Republican leadership, said a final decision hadn't been made on which privacy amendment would be voted on by the full chamber.
"The importance of protecting consumer privacy is a view that is widely shared," said the spokesman, Richard Mills.
The Senate passed a financial overhaul package in early May on a mostly party-line vote of 54-44. The Clinton administration supports such legislation in principle but has threatened to veto the Senate version unless there are major changes, including the removal of provisions that Democrats view as an attack on the 1977 Community Reinvestment Act.

It's nice to see the New York Times
Renting makes a lot more sense than buying. In a lot of places. A lot of the time. Do the numbers yourself.
It's still a bit of New York Times naivete, brimming with statements like this one: "Most striking, perhaps, is the fact that prices may not yet have fallen far enough for buying to look better than renting today ..."
How is that striking? Home prices have gone through an unprecedented bubble. Rents have not. Unless housing prices tumble very quickly, it will be years before buying is smarter than renting, especially in a bizarre market like the one around Washington D.C., where a run-down, 700-square-foot, 1950s crackerbox goes for $450,000.
Just one more thing, Times. How about dropping the whole "American Dream" cliche? There's nothing inherently better about owning. And while we're on the topic of "owning," maybe we should all do more to point out that homeowners buying with zilch down aren't "owning" at all. They're simply renting from the bank.
I've rented and owned, and it comes down to this. A home is a place to hang your hat. Pay too much for the peg, and you're risking the real American Dream: the pursuit of happiness.

Heart Arrow Cupcakes.
Yesterday we featured arrows and we thought we'd continue the theme for today. Here's a really fast and simple way to add some extra detail to a plain cupcake. Red velvet cupcakes scream Valentine's Day. I picked up half a dozen red velvet cupcakes from our grocery store bakery section. Prepackaged items automatically cuts your work in half! By adding two different sized heart shapes {that we cut out of card stock} to some cookie sticks, you've got instant arrows shot by Cupid himself! Ok, maybe not.

We ask on behalf of the family that you keep your comments uplifting and appropriate to help all who come here to find comfort and healing.
Kenneth Clifford Burns, known as "K.C." or "Cliff" to his friends, passed away on Saturday, November 18, 2017 at Tranquility at Kennesaw Mountain Hospice. Cliff was born in Curryville, Georgia, in Gordon County on May 14, 1930 to parents Jether and Bonnie Burns. He graduated from Armuchee High School in 1948. Cliff married Joyce Beard on April 13, 1952.
Cliff began his 40 year employment with Southern Bell (later BellSouth, AT&T) in 1949 in Rome, Georgia, as a cable splicer's assistant and he moved to the Atlanta, Georgia, offices in 1963. He worked his way up to a position in Engineering before retiring in 1987. He was a member of the Marine Corp Reserve and was called into active duty during the Korean Conflict.
Cliff was a member of New Armuchee Baptist Church for 11 years, where he was involved in building their present sanctuary. After moving to Cobb County in 1963 he was a member of Piedmont Baptist Church for 40 years, serving as a deacon and as the Building Committee Chairman. He was also a member of First Baptist Marietta for 14 years.
Cliff enjoyed hunting, fishing, gardening, and his volunteer work with the Pioneers organization in both the Perimeter and Rome chapters. But most of all he enjoyed spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren.
Cliff is survived by his wife, Joyce, daughters Cheryl Grier and Marsha Burke (married to Greg Burke), and grandchildren Jesse Grier, Justin Grier, Lindsey Burke Clare (married to Brian Clare) and Chelsea Burke. He was preceded in death by his parents, siblings Hazel Ables, J.W. Burns, Buren Burns and Malcolm (Jimmy) Burns and granddaughter, Lacey Ann Burke.

StarWars Goes Homeschool
Yes, I confess: I am a StarWars fan. Although I did not have any interest in seeing the first film of the series when it debuted umpteen years ago, I was quickly converted by a trusted friend who took me to see The Empire Strikes Back and explained the vital parts that I had missed. I have since passed this legacy to my children, who are now bigger fanatics than I am -- which brings me to the point of this article: StarWars can be effectively incorporated into a homeschool curriculum.If your family members are currently refreshing memories and storylines by re-viewing all the previous movies, and if your brooms and mops have broken handles from attempted light-saber duels in the backyard, you might as well accept the fact that StarWars has already made its impact on your home. StarWars can be studied as intensively as any other interest: find a bio on George Lucas or any of the actors; try drawing your own characters from another "galaxy"; study the military strategies of the various battles; build a model droid out of cardboard boxes.Our homeschool co-op group held a Literature Fair a few months after Episode One debuted. The idea of a Literature Fair is similar to a Science Fair: students research a project and present a display on their chosen topic -- a book, series of books, or an author, and the students were encouraged to come in a costume related to their display. My students were totally consumed at that time with the StarWars phenomenon, since a new series of the films was being created especially for their generation, so, of course, it became their top choice for a presentation.We purchased the book The Phantom Menace and my students each read it. Another family's students joined forces with mine in this project who already owned multiple, well-read StarWars novels. The table display included miniature pod racers built from K'nex, a wide assortment of StarWars novels, and several books on the creation process behind the books and movies: character development, costuming, and the "science" behind how the weapons and starships are supposed to work. All together, it was an effective display showing the links between printed literature and motion pictures. Knowing that some members of our group would probably object to certain elements of the film, I urged my students to cover all their bases and "think big" -- reasoning that a well-done project is hard to refute, regardless of its topic. My son and his friend (both age 13) had already begun a casual round of light-saber fighting, mimicking the "Duel of the Fates" finale, so we Moms encouraged them to choreograph their steps for precision and safety and perform their battle as part of their presentation.Now we had to consider actual characters and costumes. My son volunteered to be the bad guy, Darth Maul, not fearing any consequences from assuming an evil persona for one night. Young Obi-Wan was a friendlier-looking character, especially when played by my son's genial friend. My daughter (age 16) was nearly drooling at the chance to don any of Queen Amidala's elaborate ensembles -- which my sewing abilities forced me to scale waaaaay back.On the night of the event, I did my son's face paint at home (a scary transformation that caused even him to utter a brief whoa at first glance in the mirror), and we arrived extra-early at the venue so he could remain hidden while all the other families arrived and set up their displays. We announced that our students' presentation included a short dramatic re-creation of one scene from their featured display, and asked any interested persons to take seats upstairs in the gymnasium in five minutes. My son's appearance had still been concealed from public view up to this point, except for the young lady who accidentally bumped into him on a darkened back stairway. He was not expecting to meet anyone either, and they both gasped in surprise.As the taped soundtrack began playing, Obi-Wan entered from a far door, twirling his blue light-saber (spray-painted metal conduit), and looking pensive. Suddenly, Darth Maul emerged threateningly from another door with his double-ended, red light-saber, and the gymnasium seemed to morph into a galaxy far, far away. The choreography had been rehearsed to near-perfection, the costumes were close enough to carry the mood, the harsh clashing from the weapons added authenticity, and the background music covered everything else. A few minutes later, my son lay on the floor in mock-death, while a young boy in the audience hooted and cheered and called my son by name, "Get up, ----. GET UP!" as if he needed to break the spell of the death scene. The boys performed their scene three times that night at half-our intervals, as nearly everyone in attendance watched and cheered through all three performances.Obi-Wan's little sister (age 7 and dressed as handmaiden Padme) said she knew Darth Maul was really her brother's friend, but she just could not bring herself to look at him. We had not anticipated the whole thing having such a realistic effect, so my son dropped his hood to expose his curly hair, knelt down, and talked gently to the smaller children who had been a bit fearful, showing his warm grin, and letting them hear his familiar voice and see that his face was just painted. Since Darth Maul does not smile in the movie, even a small smile was enough to break the effects of the character's make-up.We did not receive any verbal objections to the elaborate presentation (unless they were spoken behind our backs), but being the rebels that we are, we were ready with our defense: evil is portrayed as evil in the StarWars saga; it is not sweetened up or cloaked in artificial goodness. As literature goes, Hamlet would not be the same story without the evil influence, nor would most other "classics." Even the Bible, although truly more factual history than literature, has a truly evil villain.The beauty of homeschooling is that we can shift our curriculum to meld with our students' interests. If StarWars is your family's main interest right now, encourage them to investigate it more deeply, and use it to your advantage. It got my son's nose into several books.

If your tire appears flatter, it could have a valve stem leak. A tire valve stem regulates the amount of air in the tires. Low air pressure makes driving the vehicle dangerous, especially at higher speeds.
You don't have to replace the tire. It isn't difficult for a novice to repair the valve stem. Here are tips to fix a leaky tire valve stem.
Prepare to Work
For this project, you need:
- work gloves
- safety goggles
- wrench
- vehicle jacks
- bricks or concrete blocks
- liquid soap
- rust remover
- valve core
- tire valve cap (optional)
- valve core tool
Engage the emergency brake, and raise the side of the vehicle with the bad tire valve on jack stands. Place bricks or concrete blocks around the front tires.
Inspect the hole in the tire rim for corrosion or nicks, which interfere with the operation of the new tire valve stem. Use a rust remover to clean rust. If the rim is damaged, it will need replacing.
Test for a Valve Stem Leak
Find the valve stem. The valve stem is commonly located where the tires are filled with air.
Test for a valve stem leak before replacing it. Take off the end cap, and rub the opening with soapy water. Bubbling indicates air is escaping. Otherwise, the tire is leaking in another area.
Remove the Old Core
If you have determined you have a valve stem leak, the tire must be deflated to remove the core. Ensure you wear safety goggles while you do this, since there will likely be dust particles. To make core replacement easier, take the vehicle off the jacks, and remove the tire from the vehicle by detaching the lug nuts with a wrench.
Place the tapered end of the valve stem core tool securely into the valve stem, but don't make it too tight, or it could strip the valve threads. Turn the tool to the right to detach the core. The tire should start deflating.
Install the New Core
Clean the inside of the valve core. Use the same tool to install the new core.
Secure the new core in place, but not too tight. Take the tire to a filling station, and refill it with air. If it doesn't have an end cap, install one to keep the inside clean and to prevent leaks. Reinstall the tire, and disengage the emergency brake.
As you drive the vehicle, watch the tire for air leaks. If the tire is damaged, or it still leaks, consider replacing it. For more information, talk to a professional like http://evanstire.com.

Possible details on the size of Spider-Man's Captain America: Civil War role
Tom Holland's Spider-Man will make his debut in next year's CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR, and the screenwriters for the Spidey reboot recently said the actor has already shot his scenes for THE WINTER SOLDIER sequel. Many have assumed that the web-slinger will only have a cameo, however if the report from Birth.Movies.Death is true, Spider-Man will appear in a handful of scenes.
Just to be safe, I'm going to throw up a spoiler warning. However, on a scale of 1-5 on the spoiler-o-meter, I'd only give this a 2, meaning reading these rumored details definitely won't ruin the movie for you, but some of you may still want to avoid the report below.
Although Tom Holland has finished filming for CIVIL WAR, he was only needed on set for scenes featuring Peter Parker or Spidey sans mask, and while Parker will only cameo, thanks to stuntmen, Spider-Man will have a few scenes, including "at least one fight that will be jockeying for a spot on the best superhero battles ever list."
BMD doesn't know how many scenes Spidey will be in, but they do say he'll be getting his hands dirty, and that "his fight scene might be the one that really gets fandom excited - not because of how top tier the face-off will be, but because of how profoundly dorky and unlike any other big screen superhero fight it will be."
Well, that certainly sounds promising. But I'm still curious to know if Spidey will actually play a big role in the story, or will just get caught in the crossfire of the battles between Team Stark and Team Rogers. How do you think Spider-Man will be used in CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR?
CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR is set to open on May 6, 2016.

I've been teaching now for about fifteen years. I have two kids myself, but the best birth story I know is the one I saw in my own second-grade classroom a few years back.
When I was a kid, I loved show-and-tell, so I always have a few sessions with my students. It helps them get over shyness and usually, show-and-tell is pretty tame. Kids bring in pet turtles, model airplanes, pictures of fish they catch, stuff like that - and I never, ever place any boundaries or limitations on them. If they want to lug it in to school and talk about it, they're welcome.
Well, one day this little girl, Erica, a very bright, very outgoing kid, takes her turn and waddles up to the front of the class with a pillow stuffed under her sweater.
She holds up a snapshot of an infant. "This is Luke, my baby brother, and I'm going to tell you about his birthday."
"First, Mom and Dad made him as a symbol of their love, and then Dad put a seed in my Mom's stomach, and Luke grew in there. He ate for nine months through an umbrella cord."
She's standing there with her hands on the pillow, and I'm trying not to laugh and wishing I had my camcorder with me. The kids are watching her in amazement.

BOSTON - Michael Dini doesn't exactly fit the profile of an anti-religious bigot. For one thing, the Texas Tech biology professor spent 14 years in a Roman Catholic order of teaching brothers.
If he's bigoted against anything, it's probably against the current wave of grade inflation or perhaps "recommendation inflation." In any case, Mr. Dini's Web page lays out strict criteria for any student who wants his recommendation to graduate school in science.
First, he says, you have to earn an A in his class. Second, "I should know you fairly well." And third, you need to "truthfully and forthrightly affirm a scientific answer" to the question: "How do you think the human species originated?"

Taiwan-cultivated Dendrobium orchids potted in growing media can be exported to the American market commencing March 1 following the recent classification of the plants as safe by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The USDA ruling makes Taiwan the first country in the world to enjoy this privilege and is welcomed by the government, the Cabinet-level Council of Agriculture said Jan. 30, adding that it promises to create large-scale business opportunities for local exporters.
According to the COA, the decision to greenlight Dendrobium exports under a systems approach was made after careful analysis by scientists from USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. It follows similar classifications of homegrown Phalaenopsis and Onicidium orchids in 2014 and 2016, respectively.
Taiwan-cultivated Dendrobium orchids are highly prized the world over for their diverse colors, shapes and sizes. The bulk of local production in the form of cut flowers is sent to Japan, a trend that may change as U.S. shipments of the plant come on line.
Since exports of Taiwan-cultivated Phalaenopsis orchids in growing media started 14 years ago, there has been a significant improvement in local growers' cultivation techniques, greenhouse management practices and production efficiency. These accomplishments are highly recognized in the global market, the COA said.
The latest COA statistics reveal that exports of Taiwan-cultivated Phalaenopsis orchids potted in growing media to the U.S. totaled US$51.23 million in 2017, up 4.19 percent from the year before.
According to the COA, Taiwan's Dendrobium growers are expected to experience similar success in the U.S. and further strengthen the country's reputation as a premium supplier of the orchid.

Pioneering Path for 22-Year-Old Female Pakistani Engineer
GE Performance Engineer Ayesha Imtiaz is only 22 years old, but she's already overcome and achieved more than many people twice her age. Her story is as inspiring as she is: "I tell girls I meet that they just need to find something they're passionate about and then keep at it – no matter how many obstacles they face along the way, eventually, perseverance and hard work pay off."
Born and raised in Lahore, Pakistan, Ayesha always loved math and science, so it was a logical choice to enroll in an engineering degree program. In doing so, however, she became the first woman in her family to pursue a professional degree. As such, she had to answer questions from family and friends wondering why she was pursuing a career, instead of getting married and raising a family. They also questioned her choice of engineering, given that it was such a traditionally male profession.
Fortunately for Ayesha, her mother supported her. It was Rukhsana Imtiaz who convinced the family that Ayesha should pursue her dreams. In return, Ayesha did her mother proud by graduating at the top of her class and winning a gold medal.
After graduation, she wanted to work as an engineer, rather than take up a teaching position that had been offered her. She heard about engineering vacancies at the Sapphire Power Plant in Muridke, a plant operated and maintained by GE. Shortlisted for a job, Ayesha was to join other candidates to be picked up from a central point in Lahore and driven to Muridke for follow-up interviews. Ayesha asked her mother to accompany her to the meeting point and promised that she wouldn't go forward with the interview process if the other candidates did not look like 'an acceptable crowd'. Luckily, her mother approved of those she met, and Ayesha made her way to Muridke.
Unsurprisingly, Ayesha aced the interview and was offered a position as a Trainee Engineer with a contractor engaged by GE. Through persistence and her ever-supportive mother, she talked her family into letting her take the job. Over the next year, Ayesha woke at 5am, catching the company bus from Lahore at 5:30am and not returning home until 8pm.
Even though it took a while for fellow engineers to get used to a female among them, GE's supportive leadership team at the plant helped ease things, so that "eventually the novelty wore off." At the plant, Ayesha was working on a global pilot project by GE Power that deployed Industrial Internet solutions that were harvesting massive amounts of data from industrial equipment at the plant and using advanced analytics to generate insights that allowed operators to run the plant more efficiently, enable preventive maintenance and dramatically reduce unplanned downtime.
"I was 21 years old, working with international experts, on a global first-of-its-kind project," she recalls. "We used software and data analytics to increase something as tangible as power output. I knew I was working on something worthwhile. Who but GE could offer an experience like that?"
"Do you know what the implications of the work we do are?" she asks earnestly. In fact, the success of the Sapphire pilot convinced several operators elsewhere in Pakistan, and across the region in countries such as the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, India and Saudi Arabia to consider applying some of the same solutions at their facilities.
Ayesha's dedication and hard work paid off, as she was offered a full-time engineering position with GE. However, this only brought the next challenge, which was to convince her family that it was safe and acceptable for her to live more than three hours away from them in order to work at a different facility, the Saif Power Plant in Sahiwal.
She succeeded, in part by convincing her family that working for GE on an Industrial Internet project wasn't just about practicing standard engineering; rather, this was an opportunity for her to learn new things, be part of ground-breaking initiatives and help build Pakistan's future. Once safe and suitable accommodations were found, the decision was made, and Ayesha became the first female engineer to ever work at the Saif Power Plant and one of a select team of people working on implementing Predictivity Enhancement and Performance Improvement solutions (PEPI) powered by GE's Predix, the world's first cloud-based operating system built exclusively for industrial assets and systems.
She concludes: "Though my individual contribution towards the bigger picture may be small, it's what keeps me going every day."
GE, whose senior leadership in the region is comprised one-third of women, promotes diversity within the region and globally through the Women's Network; an affinity group that provides mentoring and networking opportunities for female GE employees across the company. GE supports diversity in Pakistan as well, alongside its 50 years of support to public and private sector customers in the power, oil and gas, healthcare, lighting, transportation and aviation sectors.

I am a huge sports fan. In recent years, I have become more and more interested in politics. I don't particularly care for it when those two worlds collide. In fact, I hate it. A case in point would be last weekend when folks protested outside of the Washington Nationals game. The reason for the protest? The Nationals were playing the Arizona Diamondbacks and people were protesting against Arizona's illegal immigration enforcement law and next year's baseball All-Star game being played in Arizona.
In my opinion, sports should be apolitical. They should be a welcome and joyful respite from the everyday concerns of the world. They should not become a vehicle for one's political agenda. Nothing turned me off more than when the Phoenix Suns started wearing "Los Suns" jerseys to protest SB 1070. About the only time sports and politics should intertwine is during the Olympics, and then only to root for one's own country. While I disagree with those who oppose the bill, and understand and support their right to protest, please leave my sports out of it.
There was another bit of action in regards to the protest at the Nationals/Diamondbacks game last weekend. In addition to the protest outside the game, two idiots decided to run out onto the field with a banner to protest the law. Rather than comment about what I think should happen to morons like that, I decided to show you a few examples I found on YouTube.
First there is this classic from Baltimore Colts linebacker Mike Curtis. It doesn't get much better than this.
Here is another nice one from the world of football from Pittsburgh Steeler James Harrison.
While I sometimes think that police can be too quick to use tasers, this member of Philly's finest gives this fan what he deserves.
Just some of my random thoughts on news, events, or anything else that happens to strike my fancy. Enjoy your visit and feel free to comment

That hit by Mike Curtis is forever etched in my memory. I can't remember if I was actually watching the game when it happened or saw replays of it soon afterward, but it made quite an impression upon me. Of course, I am quite sure that it made an even greater impression upon that idiot.ReplyDelete

Mineral sunscreens support mask redness, and because they reflect uv light, they
support hold your skin surface cooler,"Dr.Rodan notes.Whilst you happen to be at
it, keep your skin clean by generally washing your face after operating up a
sweat outdoors:Summer season breakouts normally have far more to perform with mozongo sweating than wearing
sunscreen. How do i know if i am spraying on enough sunscreen?I feel like it all
blows away! Spray sunscreens are not as strong as christian
louboutin pas cher lotions, so the trick will be to look for one particular
labeled"Continuous spray" (No require to pump;It keeps spraying so long as your
finger stays around the button)And apply two coats 1 hour, dr.Rodan says. What
need to i look for inside a sunscreen if i've sensitive skin? All the
dermatologists we interviewed recommend mineralbased or physical sunscreens made
with micronized titanium dioxide and/or zinc oxide rather than chemical
sunscreens since they are much less likely to irritate sensitive escarpins
louboutins noirs skin.Plus, the latest mineral sunscreens give the gentle
protection of a physical sunscreen devoid of leaving a white cast.http://wobuxihan5.egloos.com/335892http://www.adultblogs.com/users/haojinming/2064.htmlhttp://my.opera.com/haojinming8/blog/2014/01/24/christian-louboutin-outlet-uk-furnishings?firstpost=Y

LONDON, Feb 13 (Reuters) - Banks are expected to launch a €4.6bn-equivalent leveraged loan within the next week that backs US private equity firm KKR's acquisition of Unilever's margarine and spreads business, banking sources said.
KKR agreed to buy the unit for €6.83bn, it was announced in December, backed with a €5.65bn-equivalent leveraged loan and bond financing.
The highly anticipated €3.9bn-equivalent seven-year covenant-lite term loan — which will be mainly denominated in euros and will include some US dollars, sterling and Polish zloty — is set to launch for syndication to investors shortly, followed by a sale of €1.050bn of senior unsecured notes. The financing also comprises a €700m revolving credit facility.
A bank meeting is expected for next week and pricing on the euro term loan is expected with a three handle, the sources said.
The €3.9bn facility will become the largest single-tranche euro-denominated term loan B since the financial crisis, outstripping a €1.86bn seven-year term loan B backing Hellman & Friedman's DKr33.1bn (US$5.3bn) take-private of Danish payments firm Nets.
Unilever's term loan is expected to attract significant investor attention, due to its large size and high profile.
It also launches at a time when the market is relatively quiet. Despite a busy January, when the market processed a large number of leveraged loans, supply has since waned, with only a handful of deals.
The pipeline is building but it is unlikely that Unilever will experience competition from any of the larger loans still to be syndicated. A £2.35bn loan backing multinational sports betting and gaming group GVC Holdings' acquisition of UK betting group Ladbrokes Coral, is not set to launch until early March.
"Unilever is so large it would command attention no matter what else is happening in the market. It is what everyone has been waiting for, however it so happens the market is relatively quiet which is going to help it even more," a syndicate head said.
Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank and KKR Capital Markets are leading the debt financing, alongside BNP Paribas, Credit Agricole, Goldman Sachs, HSBC, ING, Lloyds, Mizuho, RBC, Societe Generale and UniCredit.
The brands of the margarine and spreads business include Becel, Flora, Country Crock and Blue Band.
Unilever put the business up for sale in April 2017, following a review of its assets prompted by February's unsolicited US$143bn takeover attempt by Kraft Heinz.

Cattle Country
We all had a really lovely day yesterday at Cattle Country!
Art Week In Penguin Class
Scarecrow making and painting the beds
Framing nature and ipad photography
Leaf butterflies and sycamore dragonflies
Nature medallions and collection cards
A Busy Week
Penguin's Book Week Day 3
Today we ate Peter Rabbit's most favourite food of all- carrots! We used our sentence writing skills to then write a sentence about whether we did or didn't like them. We stuck them on one ginormous carrot and conducted a carrot eating survey. Using our maths skills next to accurately count the children who did and didn't like them. Take a look at the top of the carrot to read the numbers Ethan and Bobby recorded.
We also started on making a larger Mr McGregor's garden in our allotment. The children along with Mrs Batchelor prepared the beds and planted lots of vegetables, from salad leaves, to potatoes and of course some carrots. We learnt all about what plants need to stay healthy today, you might like to see if your child can tell you! We will be looking after the allotment area and keeping a close eye on all the things growing in there over the next term.
Penguin's Book Week Day 2
Today we all brought in and shared our favourite book from home. Some children talked about their favourite page and other's referred to their tales tookit to describe the story to others (characters, setting, problem and solution). There were lots of comparisons and children excited to share that they had heard the same story as someone else. Alfie and Toby both brought in non fiction books, we discussed the difference and Alfie explained the reason how he knew 'it's got numbers at the back' (index).
The children made a puppet of a character from their favourite book. They used lots of joining techniques using various materials. They then used them in the puppet theatre, there were some interesting stories.
The children also collaboratively made miniature Mr McGregor's gardens today. See if you can spot in the photos below stone pathways, some matchstick fences, a Peter Rabbit scarecrow, a white cat sat at a pond, a muddy puddle, some signs and some tissue paper vegetables...
