I've been on enough first dates as a single mom to know what's appropriate and what's completely bonkers. Follow these tips to ensure a hiccup-free night out with a new guy!
Don't diss your ex. I went on a date with a single dad recently. Before my Blue Moon even arrived, he was telling me about his "crazy ex-wife" who does everything to sabotage his relationship with his young daughter. Even if this was true, I want nothing to do with this guy and his drama. Say his ex is a nut job that makes his parenting time hard—is she gonna want me or my son around? The fact that I had to wonder about this while sipping my first drink turned me off. What's more: A single dad I met online revealed in communication #1 that he lets his "crazy ex-wife have custody so she doesn't cry to the lawyers." Not only did I find it completely bonkers he thought it was OK to share this info with a complete stranger online, but I also wanted to punch my computer screen because he came off like such a douche. OK, bro. I'm sure it's totally convenient to let your wife take care of the kids 24/7 while you visit here and there. You sound like an awesome, reliable catch. Ew.
Don't get drunk. I am all for liquid courage on a first date but I have two rules of thumb. I never have a getting-ready-at-home-cocktail—you know, a glass of wine while I do my makeup. And I usually stick to one or two vodka sodas with lemon wedges. This crisp drink is water based to keep me hydrated. And I always ask for ice water on the side. Bottom line: Getting drunk on a first date is annoying and ugh, it can lead to X-rated things you'll regret the next day. (There's plenty of time to have fun down the road when you feel comfy sleeping at his place and NOT driving!)
Talk about your kid in an organic way. This is touch and go. I've been on first dates with guys who ask about my son and really want to know deats about his Little League team, favorite foods, and xyz. This is adorable and relieving. But, I've also been on dates where my son is brought up, but then the conversation deters. Either way, because this is a first date, I'm OK with talking about my son or not. I tend to let the guy lead me. First dates aren't marriage proposals, so I don't feel pressured to share info about my life at home with my kid. The fact he's on a date with me, a single mom, means he has to be open to the idea of dating a parent, right?
Choose the right sitter. You're prob going to be nervous because, after all, you're going on a first date! As a single parent, you may be diving back into the
cold freezing dating pool! It's not the night to try out a new sitter. If it's not your ex's turn to watch your child (that is if he's involved), be sure to use someone tried-and-true. Grandmas 911 is ideal and likely free. You don't want to be stressing if your kid is OK and checking your phone 24/7 after finding a newbie on sittercity.com or whatever site you use (babysitting sites freak me out, but that's just me!).
Dress to impress. Like save something for the imagination, dress to impress. In summer time, I like to wear a maxi dress or one that hits just below the knee with a sweet—NOT sexy neckline. I'm a big fan of looking like who you really are. In my daily life, day or night, I don't wear a lot of makeup or "do" my hair. I'm pretty natural: A little bronzer, blush, mascara, and a nude or bright lip does it for me. I have long hair that I air dry (seriously). So, it's either down and wavy, or tied back. I don't mean to scare guys away, but if I could wear jeans and tees on every date—I would.
Feel free to share your tips, too!

At this point in our travels, we have been in Istanbul since Monday morning, with our friends from Abu Dhabi in tow. This is the first time we've traveled with friends, and we're really looking forward to all that there is to discover about each other and our new surroundings! None of us have ever been to Turkey, so there will be a lot to pack in!
Istanbul is the largest city in Turkey, and straddles the Bosphorus. This means that Turkey and the city of Istanbul also straddle two continents, Europe and Asia (which encompasses the Middle East). It is a melting-pot city, where many different people from all cultures live together.
Aside from the plethora of incredibly old historical sites to see (some are many centuries old), we're also looking forward to starting our mornings with Turkish coffee, which even here in the US is so thick it's almost like drinking motor oil, yet it's delightfully sweet. Also highly caffeinated!
We're also looking forward to visiting the spice bazaar, among the many other markets we hope to discover, and eating some delicious foods, the likes of which we surely have never tried before!
And we're taking on luxurious morning on this trip to visit a traditional Turkish bath, called a hamam. I think this experience will take our previous knowledge of a day spa to a new level!
What would you most like to see in Istanbul?

Baseball: Vikings win on 11th-inning walk-off
May 3rd, 2014 @ 12:03 am | Author: Mark Potts, Sports Information Director
Nate Bagby
Box Score
Watch the highlight video!
Valley City State won in dramatic fashion Friday night as freshman Nate Bagby delivered a bases-loaded, two-out, walk-off single in the bottom of the 11th inning.
Bagby's heroics lifted the Vikings to an 8-7 victory over Dakota State during the first round of the NSAA/Frontier Conference Postseason Baseball Tournament in Valley City.
The Vikings rallied from a 7-2 deficit in the fifth inning to pull out the come-from-behind victory.
Valley City State advances to play Mayville State at 5 p.m. Saturday in a winner's bracket game. Dakota State's season will be on the line when the Trojans take on University of Jamestown at 2 p.m.
For four and a half innings, it looked like it would be the Vikings playing for their season on Saturday. After Dakota State plated four runs in the second inning, one in the fourth and two more in the top of the fifth, the Trojans held a 7-2 lead.
The Vikings answered back with four runs in the bottom of the fifth, including three on a bases-clearing triple by Cole Honl. The score would stay 7-6 in Dakota State's favor until the bottom of the ninth. With two outs, Brady Anderson's double to left-center on a hit-and-run scored pinch runner Derek Elliott all the way from first to tie the game at 7-7.
Viking pitcher Chip Rosales worked out of a bases-loaded jam in the top of the 11th to set up the dramatic bottom of the 11th. Jared Meiklejohn led off the inning with a single and then moved to third on a one-out single by Tom Houdek. Dakota State intentionally walked Brady Anderson to load the bases and then struck out Cole Honl for the second out. But Trojan pitcher Bryant Westra could not get Bagby, who stroked a line drive single to right field to win the game.
Rosales earned the win on the mound, working seven scoreless innings in relief. He scattered six hits and three walks while striking out eight. Bryce Venaas started on the mound for VCSU. He was chased after allowing nine hits and seven runs in four innings.
Westra was charged with the loss. He worked 1 2/3 innings in relief and allowed just the one run. Austin Weber started for Dakota State and allowed six hits and six runs in 4 2/3 innings. Zac Smith pitched 4 1/3 innings and allowed just one run.
Ian Barker was 4-for-5 with a home run and two RBIs to lead the Trojan offense. Ryan Schlesser and Danny Flahie each added two hits.
Anthony Necochea went 3-for-5 with two RBIs for VCSU. Honl had two hits and three RBIs and Bagby had two hits and two RBIs.
This was the third extra-inning game the Vikings and Trojans played this year. The two teams had split the previous two.
Chip Rosales looks in a for a sign Friday night. (Matt Karlgaard/VCSU)

So, how do you get a bunch of Canon Speedlites to fire…
at the same time that you fire a bunch of other types of flash? Say you have a Quantum Qflash, a Metz 58 AF-1, a LumoPro LP160, and a Calumet Travelite. Then say that you need to take a group portrait of these guys as they are firing and light it with Speedlites. How do you get everyone to fire at once? You use optical slaves…a whole bunch of them. [If you've heard the myth that Canon Speedlites don't work with optical slaves, mark that person down on your holiday card list as a misinformed Speedliter.]
An optical slave is an electronic eye that will trigger a Speedlite when it sees a large burst of light. Since an optical slave literally works at the speed of light, it will fire an off-camera flash at essentially the same time that your on-camera Speedlite fires. Many brands of flash, other than Canon, have optical slaves built in. Since ours do not, we have to add them externally.
The upside of optical slaves:
+ Relatively inexpensive
+ Eliminates cords from running through the frame
+ Enables Speedlite to be concealed within the scene
+ No batteries required
+ Can mix Speedlites and other flashes
The downside of optical slaves:
– Most optical slaves are not Canon-compatible
– Range limited to about 30'/9m
– Must have clear line-of-sight between on-camera flash/trigger and Slave
– Can be fired by other nearby cameras
– Speedlites must be fired in Manual mode, unless you have a $pecial digital slave
Optical Slaves: The Basics
The triggering burst for an optical slave can come from any flash or an infrared trigger mounted to your camera. So, think of the optical slave as a receiver and the flash or infrared trigger as the transmitter.
An optical slave is an inexpensive way to trigger an off-camera Speedlite when you want to avoid the hassle of cords and connections. Keep in mind that the connection is line-of-sight—meaning that you cannot fire optical slaves hidden on the other side of a wall. For that, you have to use a radio trigger. Also, optical slaves won't set the power of your Speedlite. You'll have to do that yourself.
Optical Slaves & E-TTL Don't Mix
There are two other caveats to using optical slaves with Canon Speedlites. The first is that, unless you use a $pecial digital slave, you'll have to operate your Canon Speedlites in Manual mode. This is because optical slaves don't think. They just connect the circuit and trigger the flash when a burst of light comes along. When you are shooting E-TTL or with red-eye reduction activated, there is a pre-flash before the actual exposure. The pre-flash causes the optical slave to fire the Speedlite prematurely. All Canon pop-up flashes always emit a pre-flash—except the 7D when in Manual flash mode. So, to get rid of the pre-flash, switch your Speedlite(s) from E-TTL to Manual mode — and don't use a pop-up flash.
Canon Speedlites Need A Special Optical Slave
The other issue (and this is the reason for the myth) has to do with the working voltage of Canon Speedlites. An optical slave gets its power from the Speedlite rather than from a battery. With Canon Speedlites there is the peculiarity that the voltage does not drop far enough after the flash exposure to release the typical slave circuit. Essentially, the slave thinks that the Speedlite is still firing. With ordinary optical slaves, the result is that they will fire a Speedlite one time and then lock up. Fortunately, there is an optical slave with an added circuit that is made just for Canon Speedlites. And, luckily, this technology adds less than the price of a venti cup of fancy coffee to the cost of the optical slave (about $16 as opposed to $12).
Sonia's Canon EX-Compatible Optical Slaves
Sonia is a leading manufacturer of optical slaves. As Canonistas, the key for us is to buy the green ones. The standard yellow and orange versions are not for us. The secret to the green slaves is that they have the additional circuit that makes them compatible with the power cycle of Canon Speedlites.
Sonia offers Canon EX-compatible slaves in both mono miniphone and PC-male. You can buy Canon-compatible Sonia slaves here on FlashZebra.com.
Connecting Optical Slaves To Canon Speedlites
580EX II: An optical slave with a PC-male jack can be plugged directly into the PC socket on a 580EX II. This direct connection is the only reason I have slaves with the sometimes-it-works-and-sometimes-it-doesn't, old-school PC-sync connection. The key to obtaining PC-sync happiness is to carry a little wrench-thingie (a "PC tip conditioner") that you can use to periodically tighten the flanges on the PC-male fitting.
All other Speedlites: You will need a hotshoe adapter for the flash into which you plug the optical slave. Be sure to get an adapter that has a threaded socket in the bottom so that you can connect it securely to your lightstand (these are called "flash hotshoe adapters" as opposed to "camera hotshoe adapters"). I prefer adapters that have a miniphone socket over those that have just a PC-sync port. The miniphone is a much more reliable connection than the ancient PC-sync. Flash Zebra has a good selection of miniphone hotshoe adapters here.
Infrared Triggers
An infrared trigger is an alternative to firing optical slaves with an on-camera flash. Infrared waves are just below that part of the electromagnetic spectrum that we see as red. While we can't see infrared, optical slaves can. Infrared triggers work much like a manual flash in your camera's hotshoe—except that the flash is not seen—which is great if you want to avoid the pitfalls of on-camera flash.
The two downsides to infrared are that infrared is not reliable outdoors on bright / hot days and that infrared has a limited range—approximately 15 to 30 feet. At least the infrared triggers themselves are relatively inexpensive—when compared to the cost of radio triggers.
Flashpoint and Wein are two manufacturers of infrared triggers. The Wein (about $60 here) is roughly twice the price of the Flashpoint and offers more robust construction. If you are just getting started, the Flashpoint (about $30 here) will get the job done nicely. Both activate optical slaves with reliability.

18 Responses to The Truth About Canon Speedlites & Optical Slaves
Great article with valuable info and myth busting regarding the Canon flash optical slave world!
Will the IR triggers also work for the canons slave system?
I've been using one of these
On my 580exII, slave triggering it from my Genesis 200 strobes – full manual obviously. Works great until it's hidden behind a couch or model 🙂
Thank you! This might (fingers crossed) be the answer I've been looking for. I have one flash off-camera on pocket wizards. But I can't get it to trigger a second flash using Canon's wireless controls (I assumed the camera would think the first flash was still on camera when the PWs were installed). So if I read this article correctly, I can plug in the optical adapter to the second flash and viola!
Slightly off topic – is there anyway to turn off E-TTL on the ST-E2, the prefiring pulse sets off my studio strobes and then they don't fire on the "money shot" flash
[…] credit for this. I learned about it on Syl Arena's blog, Speedliting. His blog post, "The Truth About Canon Speedlites & Optical Slaves" opened my eyes to something I didn't think was possible with Canon Speedlites and I […]
Dear All
Can I use a 580EX as slave only without a physical connection to the camera or as a master on the camera?,(5d Mark III) I have Elinchrom Studio lights and they are working with a wireless trigger and also as a slave if I connect the 580EX on the camera, but i cannot get my speedlight to fire from anything but the hot-shoe…if the 580ex fire, yes the studio lights respond, but not the other way around!!! Do I need a wireless adapter on the 580EX? It does not respond on my wireless adaptor of my Elinchrom lights.
[…] reason) for their canon flashes, you can get them at flash zebra.. Only the green ones work.. http://speedliting.com/how-to/canon-…ptical-slaves/ __________________ 04 TB AT | Progression Thread | Garage| Facebook | Twitter – @tonywallsmedia […]
Syl — I learned lighting reading your book and I think it was a fantastic knowledge base from which to start, so thanks for that! I'm now trying to mix my Speedlites with studio strobes using optical slaves and am having an issue that I do not think I've heard you (or anyone else) address before: the slaved Speedlites fall asleep quickly and stop firing. I have to keep a constant eye on them and "wake them up" as necessary. Is there a setting that will keep them on continuously when slaved?
This was extremely helpful. I just want to check something with you before I purchase one. WOuld it be possible for this to still work if I had a pc cync chord inbetween the two? I ask this as I am putting it in a housing of some sort and there isn't much room to the side of it.
thanks in advance.
After watching your training video on getting the most out of Speedlites, i decided to get my lighting game on point. I already had two 430exiis. I bought 2 Lastolite Ezybox 24x24s and a 600exii in hopes that that the 430s would slave off the master 600. The 430s worked great until I put them in the Ezybox,then they stopped firing. I suspect that the problem is that the support arm for the Ezybox is blocking the infrared line of sight. Is there any way to get this setup to work or would I be better off selling the 430s and getting another 600?
I want to add that the Canon flash system is a most ridiculous system. I have an entry level Nikon and Canon camera and firing an optical slave from my Nikon camera is a dream, the Canon is an impossible nightmare. I recognized that this is an old article but with a bit of an update is still very relevant with one addition, Canon speedlites are useless with optical triggers. The reason is very simple, there is no way to disable TTL, even in manual mode. Holy Crap! I always thought that manual was the opposite of TTL, I just realized I was wrong. I want to fire my flash at 1/32 power, that's it, nothing more. What is the pre-flash sending out?
I now have 2 430ll flash units. What is the easiest way to get them both to fire off camera wireless.
The wein peanut works with preflash and won't lock up. I've still been setting my slaves to manual (Usually using old non canons, haven't tested speedlites yet) but I can leave my main flash on ETTL no problem

(Reuters) - Planemaker Boeing Co (BA.N) will partner with French aerospace firm Safran SA (SAF.PA) to make and service aircraft auxiliary power units as it uses some its profit from record jet sales to push into other lucrative aerospace segments.
Boeing and rival Airbus SE (AIR.PA) are branching into more profitable services, in a bid to emulate the wider margins of third party suppliers who traditionally control the market for repairs and services.
Safran already makes APUs, which are used to start aircraft engines and run other systems, and competes with Honeywell International Inc (HON.N) and United Technologies Corp (UTX.N) - the two leading manufacturers of such power units.
"This move will strengthen Boeing's vertical capabilities as we continue to expand our services portfolio and make strategic investments that accelerate our growth plans," Boeing Chief Financial Officer Greg Smith said.
The alliance with Safran comes about a month after the world's biggest planemaker said it would buy aerospace parts company KLX Inc (KLXI.O) to expand its aircraft services business.
The partnership will not affect Safran and Boeing's 2018 forecasts and plans to return cash to their shareholders.
Safran currently supplies a wide range of components to Boeing's commercial and defense programs. It also has a partnership with General Electric Co (GE.N) to make LEAP-1B engines for Boeing's 737 MAX.
Boeing has been riding on strong demand for commercial jets, selling a record number of jets in 2017. In April, the company raised its full-year earnings and cash flow forecasts.

We had our gathering yesterday since I had to take Husband to the airport early this morning. He has a week long class in Norwich England – lucky dog. I just wanted to pop in and say hi and show you some of my goodies from Mother's Day. Beautiful sunflowers from oldest daughter and her husband:
And this adorable cupcake painting and cupcakes to go on a necklace from Rachel and cards and letters as well…
We framed it and hung it in the kitchen today…and will get chains for my cupcakes! A good time was had by all…crawfish, salmon for those of us who do not partake of the mudbugs. We had 5 of our 6 kids (and spouses) and our dear friends the Whitakers.
And last but not least the Strawberry Whopper Cake!
Hope you all had a lovely weekend. And don't forget to check out the baking challenge for this week!

Connected, driverless vehicles are set to overhaul not just the automotive industry, but software, finance and telecommunications too.
Technologies such as machine-to-machine communication and autonomous vehicles are set to revolutionise the automotive sector. But KPMG's Alec McCullie, a car-tech veteran, says there needs to be a huge change in mindsets to bring them to market.
That same shift in attitudes will have profound knock-on effects throughout the auto industry – and across a range of other sectors, too.
Software is now a defining element to the car experience. Cars and other purchases will be upgraded remotely "over the air" via wireless connections. That poses huge questions for a range of industries as they take on the risks and rewards of new technology.
What else?
McCullie sees four segments emerging as critical forces in transportation:
Any company using logistics such as: utility providers catering for electric vehicle recharging; telecoms businesses providing crucial telematics and vehicle-to-x comms; even real estate investors considering parking and refuelling issues, will all need to consider a vast range of knock-on implications.

With his top clients involved in crises, a PR "kingmaker" realizes that he has lost sight of true leadership and purpose in this business/self-help fable.
Kyle Ellis is jogging in Central Park, musing on what his confidant/driver Parker "Mac" Macintosh II calls "The Collapse." Kyle, CEO of a hugely successful, self-named PR firm and dubbed "the kingmaker" for spotting and supporting leadership potential, has two clients requiring extra-special damage control. Kit Jackson, a Wall Street finance CEO, is accused of stock manipulation that particularly hurts his one true friend. Prime Networks chief Michael Allan receives death threats targeting him and his family after tussling with Russian mob types over a land deal. Kyle rushes to Kit's office and flies to Michael's Wyoming ranch. He helps to address his clients' situations, yet also observes that both are caught up in their own power, failing to lead with integrity or purpose. But the kingmaker achieves the ultimate awakening when his wife tells him over dinner that their marriage is in trouble. Kyle realizes that he has lost his way, taking responsibility for his clients' behavior and his own lapsed priorities. After an eye-opening health scare and with the particular encouragement of Mac and a congresswoman, one of two "kings" who have remained effective, true leaders, Kyle tries to convince Kit and Michael to join him in getting back on track. By fable's end, there is much to celebrate—but also differing choices. Dallas-based management consultant Bridwell (The Difference Maker: A Simple Fable About Making A Difference In The Life Of Others, 2013) concocts a jet-setting corporate fable (Kyle also travels to his own ranch in Texas) that offers some sweet and simple precepts to live a more other-directed and purpose-driven life. Occasionally, the tale's focus on glitz (dining at swanky Per Se in Manhattan, etc.) feels at odds with its overall message, although these details and some charming character nuances (particularly Kyle's friendship with Mac) also enliven what in other hands might have been dry, didactic text. Bridwell also helpfully provides a seven-point summary of his takeaway points at the book's end.
An entertaining saga about "the power of second chances," and resetting life and management priorities.

Hey friends!
I am pretty excited about the card I have to show you today… I wanted to create something using stuff from my scrap bin – it's becoming really overloaded! – and the sunburst craze that's taking over the paper world popped into my head. Wouldn't it be fun to make the two work together?
And the best part was – it actually worked! It took some thinking, and a couple of mishaps, but finally I managed to work out a template that I could trace over and over to cut out my scraps and assemble. I just attached them to my cardstock, and when it was all done, I trimmed the edges, which left me with this:
Most of the papers are from a few different Crate Paper lines, but a couple are from Pebbles and American Crafts, too. I just picked papers with similar colours, and took it from there!
I did hold on to my cardstock template, so you might see this design again, who knows? *wink*
Thanks for popping by!


text: So, I have had my praying mantis since June 20th. (15 days). He has not molted at all... Unless they eat the molt? Do they get more colors or change their colors as they get older? When I first got him, he was all green, now he is green and down the bottom half side is brown and his under belly is yellow while the rest is green... Is this normal? He has a few sticks where he can hand upside down to molt that is about four times as long as him. When I first got him he was 2 inches, and now he is 2 inches. I have read that they molt every week... Is this true?

When looking up the USDA values for different foods, several options for serving size were available for us to use. We tried to choose serving sizes that align with how much of that type of food the average health-conscious person eats in one sitting.
Leafy greens, such as lettuce, spinach, kale, etc., is an exception to this rule. Most people, including those who eat a healthy diet, do not eat nearly enough greens. Even a big salad only contains 2 or 3 leaves. It may seem like a lot when it is cut up into small pieces and tossed with other veggies and dressing, but it really isn't.
If we were to set the serving size to what most people actually eat, rather than how much they should eat, you wouldn't be able to see the rich nutritional content that greens have to offer. All of the serving sizes for our leafy greens pages are set at 100g (with corresponding volume estimates in cups), so that the the nutritional values of the different greens can be easily compared.
We are strong advocates of the "Green Smoothie," popularized by raw foodist Victoria Boutenko. Green smoothies are an easy and delicious way to eat all your greens in one meal. We recommend eating a green smoothie every day. Kids love them too!
To make a green smoothie, fill your blender 1/2-way with your favorite fruit and the other 1/2 with greens, and blend. If you are using a regular blender (as compared to a high powered blender like a K-Tec or Vita-Mix) you may want to chop your ingredients up into small pieces before blending. If your smoothie tastes too bitter, add more fruit. Over time, you will likely grow accustomed to the taste of greens and so less fruit will be required.
For more information about green smoothies and some recipes to get you started, check out this nice discussion:

Many people have visited foodscout.org and been inspired by the delicious, nutritious, natural foods listed here, but they don't know how to start making positive changes toward a healthier diet.
Obviously, everyone is different, so what works well for one person might be totally ineffective for another. If you know you need to eat better but the task seems overwhelming, we recommend you start off with small, simple changes. Here are a few ideas to get you started.
Idea #1: Focus on adding more fresh fruits and veggies and whole grains to your diet, rather than forcing yourself to give anything up. Have a big salad alongside your meals. Eat fresh fruit or a smoothie with breakfast. Adding healthy foods to your diet will crowd out less healthy choices while feeding your body vital nutrients. Over time, you will crave more of the good stuff and less of the unhealthy comfort foods.
Idea #2: Restrict your diet, but only in limited ways at first. As an example, commit to never eating "partially hydrogenated oils", which are commonly found in the most unhealthy processed and packaged foods. Once you've achieved that goal, remove another unhealthy ingredient such as refined sugar, or chemical ingredients you can't pronounce. The key is to commit 100% to your goal. Don't allow little excuses ("I've been so good all week, I deserve a treat") to impede your progress.
Idea #3: Pick 1 day each week to eat your ideal diet. Eating right for a full day will give you the confidence to know it can be done and will offer the opportunity to experiment with new foods and recipes. When you feel ready, increase it to 2 days per week, and then 3 days, etc.
Whether you choose one of these methods or a combination of tactics, really commit to the change. There is nothing more important for your mental and physical health than what you eat. If you feel hungry and deprived, change your diet more slowly. Becoming healthier should feel great! It should not feel like punishment. And don't beat yourself up if you don't succeed at your goals right away. Most of us have spent a lifetime abusing our bodies with junk food. Give yourself a break, relish in all of your accomplishments, and have fun experimenting with new ways of eating!

The Portland Timbers host the Seattle Sounders in the latest match of the rivalry, Eli Mengem meets the players and fans behind these two Cascadia teams, including a chainsaw-wealding mascot at Providence Park
Now I'm not one who likes to continually bash MLS. There are things the league does I disagree with and I believe the quality of the play could be better. However, the one thing I have liked is their emphasis on supporter culture. It has helped create an environment within their stadiums that helps separate it from the other American sports leagues. Unfortunately, some of the supporter culture can come across as a little bit manufactured. Some of the chants seem forced and I feel like a lot of the rivalries they've established don't have the history or importance that make derbies in leagues such as the English Premier League and La Liga as fierce.
There has been one rivalry that I have always admired in MLS though and that is the Timbers/Sounders rivalries. It just doesn't seem forced. That's probably because the two teams actually have a history to their rivalry unlike the Red Bulls and NYC FC who literally just manufactured their animosity out of thin air. Their intense rivalry is what makes this documentary so enjoyable. For a second you almost think these two teams play in Liverpool or Manchester the energy is that palpable. Hopefully this can naturally make its way across the leagu

The foam-like thickness of neoprene provides protection and insulation. Wet suits, mouse pads and protective cases benefit from neoprene's thermal protection and water resistance. Since neoprene consists of synthetic rubber cells, it must be treated for bonding agents and coatings to adhere to the surface of the material. Similarly, certain solvents and cleaning solutions may dissolve or weaken the synthetic material. Coatings include paint and decorations, which can flake as the materials stretches, unless covered by a protective coating. Cotol-240 and Aquaseal are commercially available at marine supply stores, hardware stores and dive shops for use on neoprene.
Cover your work surface with paper towels or a newspaper and place your neoprene project or fabric on top.
Prepare the surface of the neoprene for painting by applying a thin layer of Cotol to the surface with a small paint brush.
Wipe the treated surface with a clean cloth to dry.
Paint the desired pattern or design on the neoprene. If desired, place a stencil on the fabric and apply paint to the open areas of the stencil. Carefully remove the stencil and avoid smearing the paint.
Set the neoprene aside in a well-ventilated area to dry. Drying time depends on the type of paint and amount of paint applied.
Touch a painted area gently and carefully to see whether the paint has completely dried or if it feels tacky, meaning that additional time to dry is needed.
Apply a second coat of paint, if the dried paint appears light or if you want to build a thicker layer of your design.
Dispense about a 1/2-inch line of Aquaseal from the tube onto a plastic plate and add 20 drops of Cotol. Mix thoroughly with a plastic spatula.
Apply a layer of the Aquaseal over the dried painted area using the glue brush. Be careful to apply a thin layer without smearing the painted design.
Apply a clear frame or outline of Aquaseal around the outer edges of your painted design and if desired, apply a coating of Aquaseal to non-painted gaps inside the design.
Set aside and allow to cure in a well-ventilated area overnight.
Most recent
- If creating a dimensional neoprene craft such as a can cosy or insulated beverage sleeve, first construct the item before attempting the painting process.
- Prepare small batches of the clear Aquaseal mixture because it dries quickly.
- Use nail polish remover or alcohol to clean Aquaseal from your hands.
- Before starting the painting project, brush a small amount of Cotol on a clean area of the neoprene for a colour-fast test to see whether it will discolour.

I've always known that teaching digital media production to any student in the world would provide them with an avenue for their voices. But after 5 years of teaching it, both in the United States and in developing countries, I've witnessed students gaining so much more. I wanted to somehow quantify what they have been learning. These are the 5 major literacies I seen students in Cambodia gain over the course of 6 months… Continue reading

A Dream of Technology in a Cambodian Classroom
GUEST BLOG POST: SOUN SOTHY, Cambodian Teacher of English
In December of 2011, I met 20 year old Cambodian Soun Sothy in a workshop I conducted with the Ponheary Ly Foundation. Sothy has a passion for teaching and technology, and dreams of a future where he can harness technology to teach English to his young Cambodian students. In the new year, we will begin to experiment using iPads in his classroom.
In December 2011, I made my first video called Future Dreams and it showed about what I want for the future which is to become a computer teacher. However, now I teach English to grades five and six because I am studying at the English literature in university. It is my dream that I can teach both English and technology by using many aspects of technology Continue reading
16 Countries, 12 Schools and 1 iPad: A Journey Down a New Path
After ten months of traveling, I have returned home to New York City and Baltimore to visit with family and friends, visit with schools with whom I've skyped during my travels, and get a slew of medical check-ups before heading back to Cambodia in October. I'm not going back to my Digital Thinking teaching and Technology Curriculum Coordinator position at Garrison Forest School. Instead, I'm going to continue on the road as a Global Educational Correspondent for Garrison Forest School while continuing to teach underserved students and communities in SE Asia and Africa how to harness digital media as a way to join the Global Discussion. I've left a steady paycheck, my house, a community of friends I love, and the comfort of the known. Yeah, there are moments I awake in the night and think, what AM I DOING?!… Continue reading
WINNERS! Cambodian Students Win $10,000(US)
They've WON! Three student who were in the first Tell Your Own Story Project video workshop that I conducted seven months ago in Siem Reap, Cambodia have received a $10,000 GoodTube grant to start their own Media Production Lab. Sponsored by the Ponheary Ly Foundation, these students began learning computers 4 years ago on XO One Laptop Per Child. After continuing to learn "step by step", as they say in Cambodia, they have come to this point: they believe that their voices are being heard and that they can create a positive future for themselves. It is truly one of the best, if not the best, projects with which I have ever been involved.
Skyping with the Elephants: What Second Graders Can Gain from Skyping.
Any long term traveler will tell you: Skype is a Lifeline to Home. Long gone are the days of expensive, barely audible overseas phone calls. Now, most travelers carry laptops with built-in cameras through which they can see and hear and laugh with their friends and family 1/2 way around the world. But, I was shocked recently by just exactly HOW FAR Skype could reach, and how effortlessly Second Graders born AFTER the invention of Skype could involve themselves in the process…
Voices from the Border: Burmese Students in Thailand Begin a Video Workshop
While in a minivan taxi to the Malaysian border back in January, I met a fellow traveler from Spain. After sharing my experiences of teaching video production to students in Cambodia, Jose told me about a Spanish organization that collaborates with Burmese refugee schools in northern Thailand. Perhaps they might be interested in having some of their students participate in a similar project, he suggested. Several emails and two months later, I arrived in the border town of Mae Sot, home to an estimated 200,000 refugees, to meet with Mery Viladecas Pascua and Javier Garcia from Colabora Birmania about offering a 'Tell Your Own Story Project" video workshop to students at School 42KM.
The Students:

The long summer days when you drench in sweat,
The pouring rainy evenings that make you all wet!
The cold nights that make you shiver,
The chills that make you quiver!
The stress at work that makes you mad,
The failures that make you feel bad!
The success that makes you brightly shine,
The bottles of champagne & glasses of wine!
The moments of anger, disgust and pain,
The times when you feel like all is in vain!
The tears you shed when reality bites,
The joy you feel on flying kites!
The speed of a super-fast life,
The sharpness of a brand-new knife!
The brightness of a shining light,
The glories of a brave Knight!
The smiles, laughter and little joys,
The innocence of those young boys!
The pride and joy of having power,
The sweetness of a fresh flower!
The strength of those tall pillars,
The ugly phase of caterpillars!
The carefree days of your childhood,
The taste of your favorite food!
The excitement of that first date,
The curiosity to know your fate!
The subtle pain of your wisdom tooth,
The long queue outside a telephone booth!
The charm of that attractive smile,
The energy to run that extra mile!
The smell of your freshly painted house,
The adjustments with your new spouse!
The love for your new car,
The pain of a fresh scar!
The time when you badly miss your best friend,
The time when you wish that the hardships end!
The value of every breath,
And finally the fear of Death!!!

There are so many ways to train and shape a bonsai, you will want to spend some time perusing photos of the various forms until you find the one that speaks to your soul. Some shapes are more complicated than others to achieve, such as Windswept, so try to choose one of the simpler forms if you're a beginner.
Some of the most common shapes include:
Informal upright – Moyogi
Informal upright is frequent in both nature and the art of bonsai. The trunk is tapered, from wider at the bottom to narrower at the top, with a discernible "S" shape, and leaves branches occurr at all of the curves.
Formal upright – Chokkan
Formal uprights also have a tapered trunk, but no curving. This tree shape is very common for bonsai and occurs frequently in nature as well. The very top of the formal upright is one single branch. Conifers are well-suited to this shape, and the finished tree is a clearly recognizable triangle.
Broom – Hokidachi
The broom has a straight trunk which ends and branches out about a third of the way up the tree. The branches spread out into a large, rounded broom shape – a sight which is very familiar in nature, particularly in winter when all the branches are bare and the full broom effect is recognizable. Fine-branched deciduous species take particularly well to this bonsai.
Semi cascade – Han-kengai
Possibly one of the most stereotypical shapes that appear in our imagination when we think of bonsai, the semi-cascade has a trunk that is only upright for a small portion, then bends down to the side. The tree's crown remains above the level of the pot, while the branches dip down below the rim, but not below the pot's bottom as they do on a regular cascade bonsai.
Slanting – Shakan
Slanting occurs in nature when the wind blows consistently in one direction or when the tree is forced to bend in order to obtain sunlight. With a tapered trunk that may contain some curvature, the tree should be at approximately a 60-80 degree angle from the surface of the soil. The root system is stronger on one side in order to keep the tree upright. While almost any tree can be trained to slant, pine and maple are especially suited.
Double trunk – Sokan
One of the less common styles in bonsai art, the double trunk is often seen in nature. Its defining characteristic is the two trunks that share a root system, although sometimes one trunk will grow from the other just above the surface of the ground. One trunk is more substantial while the other comes out to the side a bit and is typically thinner, and the tree is topped by a unified crown of leaves.
It's easy to get caught up just looking at all the different bonsai shape options; each is unique and beautiful, and one of our bonsai trees may just be perfect for you!

Common Characteristics of Collections
A collection object (or simply, a collection) is a container of discrete values, usually of the same type. A collection can contain other Core Foundation objects, custom data structures, and primitive data values. Contained Core Foundation objects can be of different types. Strictly speaking, "contain" is not an exact term (although it's conceptually useful) because an element of data in a Core Foundation collection can be no larger than the size of a pointer, which varies by processor and compiler. But pointers afford a great deal of flexibility and thus collection objects permit references to Core Foundation objects and pointers to any chunk of data as well as primitive values (such as integers) that take up no more space than a pointer address.
All collection objects enable you to access a contained value that satisfies a particular external property. This property, generally referred to as a "key," varies according to the organizing scheme enforced by the type of collection. For example, the key for an array is an integer that specifies position within the collection; on the other hand, a dictionary—for which the term "key" has a more of a conventional meaning—permits any arbitrary value to act as the key for retrieving a contained value. A Core Foundation object retrieved from a collection is not guaranteed to persist because the owning collection might free it, so if you want to hold onto it you should retain or copy it. See Types of Collections for more on the keys of specific collection types.
Behavior Is Determined by Callback Functions
Most collection objects have a set of call back functions that define fundamental operations performed on the elements of that collection. These callbacks are invoked to
retain elements added to a collection
release elements removed from a collection
compare one element in a collection to another
print debugging information about contained elements
for sets, bags, and dictionary keys, compute a hash code
Default callbacks are provided for collections that hold Core Foundation objects.
Notice in particular that the callbacks affect the memory management semantics of collection objects. When you create a collection, you specify the callbacks that it should use when items are added to or removed from the collection. The default callbacks are appropriate for collections that contain CF types—they retain an object that is added to the collection, and release an object that is removed from the collection. If you have custom data, or if the default callbacks are insufficient for your purposes, you can define your own. See Creating and Copying Collections for more on this subject.
One type of function that is particularly interesting is the applier function. Most collection objects allow you to define a callback function. You then pass a pointer to this applier function in collection functions that have
ApplyFunction embedded in their names. The behavior defined in the callback function is applied iteratively to each element in the collection. This behavior is essentially the same thing as a
for loop enumerating a collection; the code within the loop is applied to each element in the collection.
Most Collections Offer Mutable and Immutable Variants
Except for trees (which are not true containers of other objects), collections come in two "flavors" or variants: immutable and mutable. The values in immutable collections are set for the life of the collection; you cannot add values to them or remove values from them. Mutable collections, however, let you add values, reorder values, and remove values. Mutable collections have two sub-flavors, fixed-size and variable-size, as determined by the capacity parameter in the functions that create these objects. For fixed-size collections you set the maximum number of values that the collection can contain.
Variable-size collections, on the other hand, can hold an unlimited number of values (or rather, limited only by constraints external to the collection, like the amount of available memory). Fixed-size collections tend to be higher performing, but you must be able to put a definite limit on the number of values that can be contained.
Some collection functions operate on both mutable and immutable collections (for example, getting the number of data elements and accessing data) whereas others work only with mutable collection objects, performing such operations as appending, inserting, removing, and sorting elements. See Working With Mutable Collections for details on these kinds of operations.

Postmaster Guidelines
Postmaster Guidelines
are resources published by different email service providers (AOL, MICORSOFT, GOOGLE, YAHOO, FACEBOOK, ETC) to help businesses to effectively communicate with the emails accounts they service. These guidelines tell you everything you need to know and configure in your email to ensure the best possible deliverability rates. A lot of the information and best practices published at the different email service providers overlap. So once you change everything to, let's say, Google, you are also improving your deliverability rate at the other ESP's as well. These guidelines are always evolving, so you should review them on a quarterly basis.

WASHINGTON — After exhaustively compiling a list of the 237 reasons why people have sex, researchers found that young men and women get intimate for mostly the same motivations.
It's more about lust in the body than a love connection in the heart.
College-aged men and women agree on their top reasons for having sex — they were attracted to the person, they wanted to experience physical pleasure and "it feels good," according to a peer-reviewed study in the August edition of Archives of Sexual Behavior. Twenty of the top 25 reasons given for having sex were the same for men and women.
Expressing love and showing affection were in the top 10 for both men and women, but they did take a back seat to the clear No. 1: "I was attracted to the person."
Researchers at the University of Texas spent five years and their own money to study the overlooked why behind sex while others were spending their time on the how.
"It's refuted a lot of gender stereotypes ... that men only want sex for the physical pleasure and women want love," said University of Texas clinical psychology professor Cindy Meston, the study's co-author. "That's not what I came up with in my findings."
Few gender differences
Forget thinking that men are from Mars and women from Venus, "the more we look, the more we find similarity," said Dr. Irwin Goldstein, director of sexual medicine at Alvarado Hospital in San Diego. Goldstein, who wasn't part of Meston's study, said the Texas research made a lot of sense and adds to growing evidence that the vaunted differences in the genders may only be among people with sexual problems.
Meston and colleague David Buss first questioned 444 men and women — ranging in age from 17 to 52 — to come up with a list of 237 distinct reasons people have sex. They ranged from "It's fun" which men ranked fourth and women ranked eighth to "I wanted to give someone else a sexually transmitted disease" which ranked on the bottom by women.
Once they came up with that long list, Meston and Buss asked 1,549 college students taking psychology classes to rank the reasons on a one-to-five scale on how they applied to their experiences.
"None of the gender differences are all that great," Meston said. "Men were more likely to be opportunistic towards having sex, so if sex were there and available they would jump on it, somewhat more so than women. Women were more likely to have sex because they felt they needed to please their partner."
But this is among college students, when Meston conceded "hormones run rampant." She predicted huge differences when older groups of people are studied.
Since her study came out Tuesday, people are coming up with new reasons to have sex.
"Originally, I thought that we exhaustively compiled the list, but now I found that there should be some added," Meston said.

I am not a believer of any organized religion, nor am I one of those generically "spiritual" types. I have a few vaguely hippy-dippy pseudo-pagan-animistic impulses (particularly attributing spirits to, and seeking to placate, inanimate objects like my car and my computer), and an unexamined faith in the precept that what one does to others ultimately rebounds upon oneself, though the latter is more a philosophy than any belief in the divine. And unsurprisingly, as a politically liberal, highly-educated (note: educated, not smart!) modern woman, I have a lot of problems with the doctrines of certain denominations and the behavior of many in the name of religion.
Yet I cannot embrace atheism, and ultimately, it's because atheism as a rejection, even hatred, of religion comes into conflict with my principles/beliefs as a historian.
Before grad school, I was pretty anti-religion, and considered almost any expression of religion as an imposition on my right to be religion-free. I'm not sure why I was so hostile, except that I had very little exposure to it. My parents both grew up devout (Anglican on the one side and Roman Catholic on the other), but it was a devotion rooted in time and place, and by the time I came along both my mother and father had left behind the communities and class in which their faith had been fostered. My mother made an effort to teach my sister and me about Jesus' life, but without the parish framework with which she'd grown up, or something to replace it, in her own words, "It just sounded...silly." She told my father she had no objection to our being raised Catholic, but he would have to be responsible for it - the man who never again took communion after his divorce from his first wife. Besides, in my parents' marriage, the immediate, day-to-day tasks of raising the children fell to my mom. So it was nothing, pretty much.
We also heard a LOT about the Holocaust in my elementary/junior high school days, which I think taught me a disdain for religion as much as anything else. Not because the Nazis were portrayed as Christians or representing Christianity - which is good, because I don't think that would be very accurate - but because it was the fact that they cared so much about someone else's religious beliefs that started the whole mess in the first place. (It was okay to be religious - the Jews were cool - but not okay to care about other people's religion.)
What changed in grad school? First, I met some deeply religious people, which opened my eyes to the role that religion could play in someone's life. I remember confessing to a devoutly Lutheran friend of mine that religion just looked like a whole bunch of rules about what you couldn't do, and she just laughed - wasn't shocked, wasn't upset, just thought that was one of the funniest things she'd ever heard.
But more importantly, I began to study the Middle Ages in depth, and ran right up against the fact that whether you think religion is good or bad or neither, it was central to medieval people's lives. And I don't mean that in the simplistic, "they had to think the way the Church wanted them to" caricature that many people hold in their heads in the section labeled "Middle Ages." Rather, Christianity provided a framework for medieval people's understanding of the world around them, a lens through which they saw the universe. This shaped how medieval people thought - in the same way that the modern understanding of gravity shapes how we think today - without telling them what to think. While I've never succumbed to what I've heard people call the professional hazard of medievalism - converting to Catholicism - studying the Middle Ages made me view religion in a more balanced manner.
Because the thing is, if you believe that people of religious belief are, essentially, stupid and irrational, then you have to believe that medieval people were stupid and irrational. But spend even a small amount of time studying medieval people - seriously studying them - and you soon realize this is completely untrue, and in fact, I consider it part of a historian's creed that if you think the people you study were stupid and irrational, you're not a very good historian. That does not mean historians should be cheerleaders for their subjects, or accept or approve of all that they do (hello, I teach about the Crusades!). Nor am I saying that it's invalid to dislike or consider stupid specific historical individuals (my sense is that some biographers come to loathe their subjects by the time they finish their projects; myself, I wouldn't want to spend a lot of quality time with Abelard). But to dismiss an entire culture or society because you don't agree with some of their beliefs is simply not being a good historian.
That's all very well and good, a modern atheist might say, but medieval people didn't know any better. Today we do. I don't blame medieval people for being stupid enough to believe in religion, but I do blame modern people.
But this violates another part of my historian credo - one that is perhaps more important to medievalists and other pre-modernists, but which I would hold to be necessary for all historians. And that is that progress is bunk. People are people are people, wherever and whenever you go. People in the twenty-first century are not smarter or more advanced or more evolved than people in the fourteenth century, just by virtue of the century in which they live. We, like medieval people, interpret the world around us in light of cultural frameworks that shape our beliefs just as strongly as the medieval church shaped the beliefs of medieval people. They just happen to be different frameworks.
This is not to say that those differences aren't important, or that I don't prefer living in the modern world to living in the Middle Ages (from what I can determine about the latter). But for me, the issue of living today vs. then is one of standards of living - we have better hygiene, greater comfort, better medical care (I'd still have a gall bladder if I lived in the fourteenth century). We live lives of what medieval people would view as unimaginable luxury. I'd like some evidence, though, that our modern cultural frameworks have actually reduced human suffering and conflict compared to medieval cultural frameworks.
So, throw out progress, and what you get is not the idea that modern people should be more rational and intelligent than medieval people, but the recognition that humans are humans are humans, and that religion is simply part of human society. All human societies. I don't know of any society that genuinely lacks some form of religious belief (and don't give me the Soviet Union; sending religion underground isn't the same as actually abolishing it). Religion may be "irrational," but that's because humans are irrational. I don't think we can change that, and in many instances, I don't think we need to. I have no problem with objections to specific, oppressive religious practices - no one has the right to hurt other people in the name of their religion. But I see no point in railing about the existence of religion itself. The very existence of irrationality isn't a threat to humankind - it's a condition. Let's study its expressions, let's understand what it provides people.
ETA: From some comments about the meaning of atheism, I need to clarify something: Dr. Virago's comment is correct, and this post is inspired by recent conversations at Pharyngula, especially those about PZ's request for consecrated wafers. I like and generally respect PZ, and, to be frank, didn't want to attract the response of some of his diehard commenters (many of whom I also like and respect, just differ with on this one issue), so I chickened out and spoke in overly general terms without linking. But the atheism I'm referring to here is atheism that is actively hostile to religion, that considers it the height of ignorance and irrationality, and considers the eradication of religion as a noble goal. My apologies to those of you who consider yourself atheists but don't fall into this category - I should have been more clear. (I also probably have more to say about progress but that can go in the comments.)

The most anticipated night for fight fans across the world has been and gone. It did not disappoint that is for sure. A card stacked with top quality fights headed up by 3 world title fights provided non stop action and enough drama to satisfy UFC fans for the rest of the year. Georges St-Pierre's return after a 4 year absence was the main draw. He faced off against Michael Bisping for the middleweight belt. Ex Team Alpha Male team mates Cody Garbrandt and TJ Dillashaw battled it out for the right to be called the bantamweight champion of the world. The third title fight was in the women's strawweight division pitting Polish champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk against Rose Namajunas. It was a night that would see silverware change hands regularly.
Rose Namajunas Def. Joanna Jedrzejczyk via KO in round 1
As Joe Rogan said on commentary, who would have thought Namajunas would have knocked out Jedrzejczyk who was widely considered the best female fighter in the UFC. Namajunas is a submission specialist and many believed if she was going to cause an upset she would make the champion submit. She landed a heavy left hook to score her second knockdown of the fight in the first round. She piled on the pressure and the champion had no response. It appeared that Jedrzejczyk tapped from the punches landing on her from the challenger.
Namajunas was cool during the build up and even cooler in the ring. As a huge underdog with bookmakers she was available at 9/2 while the champion was 1/6. She took everything in her stride and with the quality of opponent in front of her shows how good her mindset is. Even after the win she was calm, no adrenaline infused celebrations, just a calm gracious attitude which will surely grow her fan base.The future is bright for 'Thug Rose' as she is still only 25 years of age.
It was not just the bookies who were favouring Jedrzejczyk it was the wider MMA comunity as well. A rematch is certainly on the card and the ex champion has already signalled her intent to set the record straight.
"I must sit and talk to Dana and the UFC. I think I've been a good athlete and good champion for the UFC. That's it. I think I deserve the rematch, if I will not get the rematch, we'll see. I want my belt back and that's the thing, it's probably going to be the biggest goal right now to get my belt back because s**t happens everywhere, so it was a mistake, it was a big surprise." (Joanna Jedrzejczyk)
'The Boogeywoman' went on to say that it was not a lucky punch and that Namajunas had a great game plan. The rematch is the logical option for both women and with Jedrzejczyk being brought back to earth expect a closer fight next time.
TJ Dillashaw Def. Cody Garbrandt via KO in round 2
The build up to this fight was electric. Crosswords, tension on the Ultimate Fighter series and former friendships really made the run up to the fight sizzle. The action delivered as well. After such a fantastic build up it is sometimes an anti-climax when it comes to the fight.
The first round was slow. Garbrandt stalking his opponent waiting for him to make errors coming forward so he could land a massive shot to end the contest. Dillashaw moving around the octagon and looking loose trying to connect with a kick to his opponents head. When the two came together it was frantic. Garbrandt landed a huge right hand inside the last 10 seconds of the round and totally floored TJ.
Dillashaw will be grateful it landed so late. The punch landing 30 seconds earlier could have been a win for the champion.
TJ recovered and proceeded with caution in the second. A wild kick missed and Garbrandt show boated, which now looks foolish. But at the time he was in control. Moving out of distance as TJ came forward and letting his fast hands go when the chance presented itself.
The dynamic of the fight changed when TJ landed a high kick right on the sweet spot of his opponents head. Garbrandt went down and was clearly shaken. Then later in the round the two came together and TJ was able to land the killer blow. Flooring Garbrandt TJ pounced and ended the contest loading up shots on his grounded opponent.
After all the animosity in the build up the two came together and were respectful to each other. That was after somebody in TJ's camp shouted something which caused Garbrandt to react. It was quickly forgotten and a handshake between the two represented a huge moment in the rivalry.
What next? TJ wants to go down and fight Demetrious Johnson. He still has unfinished business in his current weight division. A close defeat against Dominick Cruz, which saw TJ lose the belt in January 2016 means that a rematch must be on the agenda. However, down the road the rematch with Garbrandt will happen. The pair are evenly matched and with Garbrandt only being 26 he is still well and truly on the bantamweight radar.
Georges St-Pierre Def. Michael Bisping via submission (rear naked choke) in round 3
What a way to end the night! Going into the fight the odds were against GSP. He started well and put Bisping on the back foot. Then he was cut open as Bisping landed viscous strikes and elbows on the ground from the bottom. A left hook dropped Bisping and as GSP put the pressure on before retreating slightly he was able to take Bisping's back and put him to sleep. The momentum of the fight swung between each fighter and it really entertained.
It was the perfect way to round off the night with the third world title changing hands. Bisping humble in defeat congratulated the new champion and after all the words exchange the respect was obvious. GSP back and it seems he is here to stay. He looked strong and quick at 185 but questions will be raised about his stamina as he seemed to become tired in the second round.
History made and a legacy enhanced. What next for GSP? Robert Whittaker in Australia looks like the next step and defending the title will even further cement GSP's legendary status. Bisping on the other hand maintains he will not call it a day. Age and now fight options play a factor in rumours he is finished. He still has enough in him for a couple more fights but does he want it?
UFC 217 delivered that is 100% true. The title fights were the main highlight but the prelims and undercard was also good viewing.
The option for rematches are open to all the title fights and the level of fighters involved it is no impossible that the all the titles could return to the losers at this event. The event certainly helped the reputation of the company. With Conor McGregor off the scene for sometime and a gap in UFC cards as he took on Floyd Mayweather hurt the reputation. With new stars emerging the UFC brand improves and the entertainment and drama on show in New York highlights the growing strength of the roster.
3 world title fights, 3 new champions – there is a lot to live up to for UFC 218. Who would bet against the organisation getting even stronger next year.

Tag: Eichmann
Mary McCarthy's Macbeth
"The idea of Macbeth as a conscience-tormented man is a platitude as false as Macbeth himself. Macbeth has no conscience. His main concern throughout the play is that most selfish of all concerns: to get a good night's sleep." With those three sentences written in 1961, Mary McCarthy challenged the traditional reading of Macbeth, the man, the murderer, the monarch. He was your everyday bureaucrat, just doing his job, she declared in "General Macbeth" (PDF 108KB).
Two years after McCarthy's essay was published, Hannah Arendt questioned the common belief that anti-Semitism was what motivated the key Nazi pen pushers. "Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil" proposed that conformism was at the heart of top-level Hitlerian wickedness. Maybe evil is simply a function of thoughtlessness, Arendt suggested. Mary McCarthy didn't use the "banal" word in her meditation on evil, but we know Arendt admired the essay and her interpretation of the efficient SS-Obersturmbannführer is in keeping with McCarthy's interpretation of the man who would be King of Scotland. Mary McCarthy is brilliant here:
"Macbeth has no feeling for others, except envy, a common middle-class trait. He envies the murdered Duncan his rest, which is a strange way of looking at your victim. What he suffers on his own account after the crimes is simple panic. He is never contrite or remorseful; it is not the deed but a shadow of it, Banquo's spook, that appears to him. The 'scruples' that agitate him before Duncan's murder are mere echoes of conventional opinion, of what might be said about his deed: that Duncan was his king, his cousin, and a guest under his roof. 'I have bought golden opinions,' he says to himself (note the verb), 'from all sorts of people'; now these people may ask for their opinions back — a refund — if they suspect him of the murder. It is like a business firm's being reluctant to part with its 'good will.' The fact that Duncan was such a good king bothers him, and why? Because there will be universal grief at his death."
As Macbeth and Lady Macbeth, Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard are a perfect team in Justin Kurzel's new filming of Shakespeare's noir masterpiece. His big screen Macbeth is a physical, atmospheric work made all the more chilling by a Scotland of snow, sleet, biting wind, bitter frost and badness and madness.Tweet
