This key finder is for everyone who loses household items from keys to TV remote controls, needs to save precious time, and wants to avoid the stress and anxiety of not knowing where something is.
Just attach the receiver A, B, C, D to any items such as a remote, car keys, cell phone, purse, bag or just about anything. Turn on the power switch on the right side of the receivers that attached to your hard to find item. When you want to get your missing keys or TV remote back, you just need to simply press the corresponding A, B, C, D button on the transmitter for 2 seconds and it will voice out B,B,B sound. Follow the beep to find your lost objects.
Wireless Remote Key Finder & Locator 7/1/2013Thomas Rhoden from Orlando, FL
I ordered the Wireless Remote Key Finder & Locator with 4x Receivers. The products would not work. Two of the receivers could only be heard if you held the receiver next to your ear, the other 2 were dead. I called 1-510-488-3790 for return twice, the calls went to voicemail, and I left all the voicemail information. I have received NO response from Mail-Direct.
Just what I was looking for 6/28/2013Bonnie from Raleigh, NC
This is a perfect gift for my father-in-law who is always losing his keys. I have looked in stores for quite some time for just this item. I will reorder if there is someone else that could use it.
Perfection 9/7/2012
iTEM WAS EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED AND SHIPPED EXTREMELY FAST
WORTHLESS 9/6/2011Ben from Kamiah, Id
Volume on receiver so low can barely hear it when holding right next to your ear. Waiting for my refund.
Inaudible and transmission weakness 8/23/2011Flo from Charlotte Hall Md.
I agree with DFW. The volume is so low you can't hear it even when you are close. Also, when you hit the transmitter, you have to be practically next to the key finder for it to respond. If you lose your keys, chances are they will not be close. Transmitter would not activate the finders as close as 12 feet. Not a good buy. I did get a refund; however, it did cost me return shipping. Chalk it up to a learning process.
Practically Inaudible 8/12/2011
Virtually worthless due to the very low volume of the receivers. The only way to hear it is to hold it next to you ear which is of course not very helpful if you are trying to find something. You could be right beside it and never even know it because you wouldn't hear it.

Just wanted to say a quick thanks to everyone at the Central Florida HRC Club for the warm welcome I received this weekend at the mock hunt test. It can be a little intimidating to walk into an experienced group when you pretty much know nothing, but everyone was very encouraging, and halpful. Even though Snapper didn't pick up the duck at the practice, I'm encouraged that she liked the process well enough to give it another shot in January. (And she did retrieve the duck when we got home).
So thanks again.

About Media Coverage & Human Biotechnology
Until a few years ago, human biotechnologies were rarely discussed in the popular media. Now magazine covers, television shows, newspaper headlines and front-page articles showcase their development and the controversies surrounding them.
This increased coverage is welcome; sunlight can be a good disinfectant. Nevertheless, mainstream media coverage has been inadequate or misleading in several regards.
Too often it prematurely celebrates new techniques as "breakthroughs" or "medical miracles," even when they are preliminary and unconfirmed. This is particularly dangerous in a growing culture of "science by press release," where fantastic findings are often later debunked (with less fanfare) by peer review. Also, the press rarely scrutinizes scientists' and bioethicists' statements, actions, or potential conflicts of interest with the same rigor they bring to reports about other public figures.
Lastly, too few media accounts make clear the full import of what's at stake. Excitement about possible new medical therapies tends to drown out consideration of undesirable prospects including genetic discrimination, increased health inequalities, and the misuse of human biotechnologies.

Buzz's favorite quote - was described in American Spectator as a Nobel Prize winner, NY Times Correspondent (which the MSM trumpets ) & former ENRON economic advisor ( which no one says a word about ). That in itself (to a sane person) has to destroy his credibility.
Several years back when NAIC was a functioning organization I attended one of their regional seminars, Enron had a really good looking babe as their investor relations person. I asked her how Enron could be a growth stock as it was a utility but got an unsatisfactory answer. So I went back to the stock club I belonged to at the time & asked that we sell Enron, which the club had a sizable stake in. The club membership declined & I resigned before the next meeting knowing that the principles the club should follow were not being followed.
So Buzz, tell me what makes him a credible quote???????????????

With the help of family and friends, purged all sorts of carp out of the garage, at long last! Mrs. TI7 got really brave and dumped a bunch of teaching stuff she had collected over at least ten years. Other family members took their stuff we've been storing, too. A zillion trips to Goodwill and recycling it seemed but a huge dent was made in the process. I can now finish installing storage shelves I had begun before we were inundated with everyone's carp. Best, I'll also be able to use my work bench again instead of storage. Yippee! (oh...sorry...)

Ran, tried to find some new running shoes (didn't find what I wanted), went to a niece's 16th bday party, rocked some bocce ball.
I ran yesterday as well, which with today's run means I ran FOUR days this week. I did this five mile route that I used to run regularly many years ago. Much of it is on the course of a race I will be doing next week. My time for the run was 35:40. Looking back in my records, I see that I ran 33:47 in July of 2000, and 33:53 in April of 2001, and many times in the 34's in 2001 and 2002. So, this wasn't too bad for 10 years later and not being in my best shape. The pace for the run (7:08, assuming my Garmin watch is accurate) is what I will need to run next week for 7 miles if I want to run faster than my worst time in that race (50:00). I should be able to do that if I don't go out too fast or hurt something along the way. I probably would have had a slower time in that race at some point, but I've not run it since 2007.

With only one elimination night through the first week of the MHSAA basketball playoffs, there are still 16 teams remaining in Class 3A North as the North and South state tournaments get underway today.
Top two girls seeds host games today, top two boys on Tuesday. With so many teams still hanging around, there will be a share of blowout final scores.
Don't expect one of those to come from Booneville High School.
The Blue Devils drew one of the state's tougher matchups, hosting McClain in a North State opener on Tuesday night.
Contenders McClain and Velma Jackson were upset in their division tournament and both play on the road Tuesday, Velma at Holly Springs.
Booneville coach Michael Smith said his team hasn't had much success as a third or fourth seed on the road, so it wasn't tough to get his players ready for the division tournament last week. The Blue Devils beat Holly Springs in the title game on Friday.
His usually full gym of people will be there Tuesday, plus the team doesn't have to drive far to get there.
"Our kids know the importance of playing at home, not necessarily because of technically a home court advantage, but the driving," Smith said following Wednesday's win against Ripley.
Eight teams play at host sites beginning Thursday, with the top two seeds from the North and South and advancing to the state tournament beginning March 1.
The Blue Devils are no strangers to tough games. In two straight state tournament appearances – the Blue Devils won it all two seasons ago – Booneville has taken a tough path both seasons.
In 2011, the Blue Devils knocked off Cleveland East Side and current LSU star Johnny O'Bryant in Corinth. Last season, they lost in the finals against Devonta Pollard and Kemper County. Pollard is now playing at Alabama.
McClain will ride nearly 300 miles to get to Booneville from Lexington.
"You drive three or four hours on a bus and you're expected to play. It's hard," Smith said.
Nettleton and Baldwyn will both play double headers this week. Baldwyn will host O'Bannon tonight, beginning with the girls at 6 p.m. in Class 2A.
Nettleton will play two games at North Panola on Tuesday beginning at 6 p.m.

It takes a certain kind of person to live from one job to another, stringing together as many as he can in a year.
That's the life Tupelo native Jamey Grisham, 27, chose many years ago. Since he was a kid, he has dreamed of being a professional performer. Now, it's a reality that requires as much drive as talent.
"The past year I have done at least 20 different projects," he said, then paused to count them on his fingers. "Between 15 and 20."
Grisham might have developed his taste for the stage at his grandmother's house, where he and his sister performed roles from Disney classics.
"He'd be dressed up as the Prince, and his sister would play Snow White," his dad, Jimmy Grisham, said.
Over the years, he's appeared in Pied Piper Playhouse and Tupelo Community Theatre productions, and he was a constant cast member in Tupelo High School plays and musicals until his 2003 graduation.
"He has the work ethic and the desire, that passion to be a performer," said Debby Gibbs, Grisham's high school drama teacher. "So many people might want to do it, but sometimes they lack the desire and passion to be successful."
At 16, he realized something was missing from his skill set. He researched performing arts schools and couldn't help wondering what could set him apart from other applicants. That's how he found himself as the only boy in the Tupelo Ballet company.
"You train five days a week, then rehearsals for 'The Nutcracker' are on the weekend," he said. "It was a huge commitment, but how else could I better myself?"
He earned a spot at The Theatre Conservatory at Roosevelt University's Chicago College of Performing Arts, where he got a bachelor of fine arts degree in musical theater. He then expanded his acting talent during graduate school at Brown University.
For the past year, he's been putting his training to good use in New York, where he's happy to work as an actor, a musical director, a choreographer, a singer, a dancer or whatever the next job requires.
"He's living the dream he wanted," Gibbs said. "That doesn't mean he has to have the lead in a Broadway pl.ay. He's a working actor. When his agent signed him, one of things she said is it's great to do choreography and musical direction, as well as acting in plays and musicals. She can send him out for lots of different jobs."
Nos and yeses
Grisham has a secret weapon that's proven extremely helpful during his time in New York: Auditions.
"I love the casting process. I love auditioning," he said. "I love being able to show what I can do."
His dad said Grisham has had that type of approach for years. There was a time when young Grisham came home from school with a box of candy bars to sell in the neighborhood. He left the house full of enthusiasm, and his dad didn't expect it to last for long.
"He came back and had a big smile on his face," Jimmy Grisham recalled. "He said, 'I sold one.' He probably got 20 nos but he got one yes, and that's what mattered to him."
He's spent five summers at The Barn Theatre in Augusta, Mich. This past season, he played Warner in "Legally Blonde" and a Boy George impersonator in "The Wedding Singer." He also served as choreographer for "Pal Joey," which starred Kim Zimmer, an Emmy-winning actress from "Guiding Light" and "One Life to Live."
But this year his time in Michigan kept him away from New York, where several opportunities had to be missed, including a call back from "The Book of Mormon," a Tony Award-winning musical on Broadway.
His current paying gig brought him home to Tupelo, where he's directing Pied Piper Playhouse's production of "Captain Louie." His agent wanted to send him out for a couple of roles in New York during rehearsals in Tupelo, but he had to pass.
"When I have a dry spell, it's hard to get work," he said. "When I'm working, I feel like I have a million offers."
Getting back
"Captain Louie," a comedy about Halloween, will be staged Oct. 26-28 at Milam Auditorium, then Grisham will catch a plane back to New York on the following Monday.
"Now that I've been in the South, my accent comes back a little more every day," he said. "I'll have to be careful when I get back."
That accent has led to several roles in Tennessee Williams' plays. He also pulled off a Scottish accent, which he calls the hardest, for the role of Mordred in "Camelot."
He's been a servant and an on-stage musical director in Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night," and a clown that had his body melded to a trash can in Samuel Beckett's "Endgame." He also got to play an outsized version of himself in an original production, "Raunch and Roll," that debuted at The Barn Theatre over the summer.
"It was almost like this clown element of yourself," Grisham said. "All of the cast played exaggerated versions of ourselves. It basically felt like being a clown without a clown nose."
When he's not working on a production he often watches them. A friend nominates plays and musicals for Tony Award consideration and gets free tickets. Grisham's happy to tag along or buy tickets for other shows he wants to see. During one four-day break from work he caught seven shows.
"I can't sit at home watching TV now that I live in New York," he said.
Watching shows is part fun and part work, and it all serves the passion and drive that keep him going. He said there's no better class than sitting close to the stage when Helen Mirren or Ian McKellen bring characters to life.
Grisham's had a good year out of graduate school. He's worked enough jobs to get health insurance through the union, and he has every reason to believe more opportunities await him, even if the nos outweigh the yeses.
"You take it one job at a time, one project at a time. A lot of people would be scared of the unknown, but I really love it," he said. "I like the idea of infinite possibilities. I'm not really afraid of that. It's what makes me excited."

Advancement seems to be a great method in teaching and achieving the Aims of Scouting (Character development, Citizenship, and Physical and Mental fitness). We can find parts of all of the goals in the advancement method.
Character is built throughout the process. The Scout demonstrates good Character by showing his honesty during the Scoutmaster Conference and Board of review, he demonstrates Integrity when working on skills, seeking counsel for Merit Badges, and returning a completed "Blue Card" to the Advancement Chair or Scoutmaster. He again shows good character as he completes the requirements by not gloating or putting those in his peer group down.
Good Citizenship is found in the process also. As the Scout progresses through the Early ranks and then on through Star, Life, and Eagle, he is placed in positions of responsibility. He needs to understand the concept of Selfless service, making decisions for the good of the Patrol and Troop and not himself. He participates in elections and group decision making to move his patrol forward. This tests the scouts ability to work with others and challenges him to think not only of what is best for him, but what is best for all. Often times he discovers that majorities are not always right, but decisions must be seen through to get the most out of the learning experience.
And physical and mental fitness is borne out of the method of advancement. He is tested physically as a Tenderfoot. Then through the required merit badges of Cycling, Hiking, Personal Fitness, and Swimming. Many other merit badges will test him both physically and mentally. This all develops the young man while peaking his learning and growing an appreciation for skills, careers, and the out doors.
These are all reasons that Advancement is important.
Goal setting is a big reason for the Advancement method. We know that the Scout is solely responsible for his progress along the way. This test the scouts ability to set short term and long term goals, stick to it, and complete the goals. A Scout that does this experiences responsibility unlike anything his class mates will ever experience. A Scout that truly progresses through the advancement process, setting his goals and achieving them should be satisfied that he has accomplished great things. Those Scouts that race through the process or rely on others to walk them by the hand through it will never understand the feeling of success and accomplishment.
I have seen Troops that are for a lack of better terms, "Merit Badge mills". They turn out merit badges at a rate that keeps the Scout Shop inventory system on edge. And at the end of the day the Scouts have a great amount of merit badges and no skill. They have a sash full of cloth, but no interest in the subject areas, they have an advanced rank, but no understanding of Character, leadership, or being a member of a high performance team.
The advancement method is there to assist the Scout and the unit in achieving the three Aims of Scouting. It is the Leaders function to provide a program in which the Scout can achieve success. To provide those opportunities that foster growth and development, to test the Scouts individual abilities and skills and to teach, coach, train and mentor the Scout along the way. It is the Scouts responsibility to advance at his own pace and to learn, set goals, know the requirements, have fun, and achieve the feeling of success.
Advancement is but one of eight methods in Scouting. We should not loose sight of the goal to get more patches. We need to ensure that Scouts achieve, not just receive. They need to earn the ranks and the merit badges. By earning them they will be successful in finding Character, Citizenship and Fitness.

Packing for a camping trip requires remembering the accessories for your accessories
When a dad is packing for a camping trip with his kids, it's pretty easy to forget the bare essentials. Why? Because we're focusing on emergency items and things that our kids can't live without. We're trying to avoid temper tantrums, and in turn, remember what's important to our kids instead of what's important to the whole trip.
During Dads and Kids Camping weekend, these bare essentials—that dads really can forget—consist of the obvious: a tent, sleeping bags, air mattress or sleeping pads, a portable stove for camping and a way to light the fire.
If you have a pretty cool head and have remembered all of the above, there are still other hidden things that can be forgotten when you're packing for a camping trip. Between the yelling kids and the stress of loading up a car, I'm not going to blame you if you forget some of the following:
Packing for a camping trip? Remember the ESSENTIALS.
Even an air mattress has accessories. You will need bed sheets for the air mattress, a pillow, and something that can blow it up, like a foot pump. You will also need basic toiletries like toothbrushes, toothpaste, hair brushes, shampoo, soap and towels. You may also need toilet paper, so call the campground and check before you finish packing.
Packing for a camping trip? Remember the FOOD.
Depending upon how long you'll be camping, you will need to pack breakfast, lunch, and dinner for each day. Having a few extra snacks on hand is a good idea because kids get hungry at the strangest times. Be certain to pack at least one gallon of water for each person in your party. That way, everyone stays hydrated.
Packing for a camping trip? Remember the CLOTHES.
You can pick your kids' clothes for them or let them do it themselves. Make sure that they're packed for the right season and have a rain jacket, boots and clothes for both cold and warm weather. You can always remove layers to keep cool, but if you don't plan enough layers to keep warm, you might spend a few nights in the car.
Packing for a camping trip? Remember the TOOLS.
You never know when you'll need firewood or a rope, so taking these things with you is a great idea. If you plan on breaking branches and digging in the woods to get wood to start a fire, remember that anything in the woods can have dew or moisture on it. Bringing dry wood to the campsite ensures that you'll have something to start with when you arrive. Having a hammer to nail in the stakes of the tent is also smart.

A 30-year-old Moss Bluff man already in jail for burglary and theft has been accused of physically abusing a 6-year-old family member, authorities said.
Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Kim Myers said Gilbert J. McComb Jr., 168 Brown Road, has been charged with cruelty to juveniles after a complaint was made on July 3.
Myers said McComb, already in Calcasieu Correctional Center in connection with a June 8 burglary and theft at a home on Brown Road, confirmed that the punched the boy in the stomach and put his hands around his neck and choked him.
Judge Ron Ware set McComb's bond at $10,000.
Four DeQuincy residents were arrested at 604 East Fourth St. over the last three days.

Sean Kiel is a no-nonsense guy with a gruff voice and a tough demeanor. A truck driver for 30 years, he describes himself as an "alpha male" who tends to keep his emotions "hidden pretty well."
But get him talking about the curly white Bichon Frise he helped rescue from a dark life in a puppy mill, and all of that changes.
"Here I am, a big ol' tough truck driver, and I'm sitting here choking up right now," said Kiel, 46, who just transported the grateful fluff ball to a woman in California who was eager to give the dog a good home. "She was so happy to get that dog — just absolutely happy. It was so touching to see."
More in Good News!
Kiel is a new recruit to an informal and ever-growing network of animal lovers who are transporting rescued dogs, cats, bunnies, ferrets and even the occasional monitor lizard or pot-bellied pig to loving homes, even if those homes are located hundreds of miles away. This unofficial Underground Railroad is powered by truckers, pilots, animal rescue groups and volunteers who provide "layover homes" to all kinds of creatures as they journey to new and happier lives.
Their work happens on their own dime and takes plenty of time, but these volunteers are determined to keep animals moving in the face of seemingly intractable problems: animal overpopulation, and downright abuse, neglect and abandonment of animals by their owners. According to the American Humane Association, about 3.7 million stray and unwanted animals are put to sleep in U.S. shelters each year.
"Shelters nationwide are filled with animals that are going to be killed," said Sue Wiese, 68, a former truck driver from Joshua, Texas. "You just have to do something."
'I just love doing this'
In September 2005, Wiese founded Operation Roger, an organization made up of regional and long-haul truckers who transport pets in the cabs of their trucks as they deliver freight all across the country. She got the effort started after Hurricane Katrina left an estimated 250,000 pets stranded and struggling to survive.
"My heart was just breaking from all the stories about the pets," Wiese recalled. "I was driving down the road and I was praying, 'Lord, what can I do? I'm just a truck driver.' And then I heard one word: Transport."
Thanks to the abundance of animal lovers on the Internet, Wiese's calling wasn't all that hard to fulfill. An animal shelter or rescue organization might not be able to adopt out all its dogs and cats to homes locally — but what if nice people in other states read about those animals online and want to adopt them? Then, basically, those fortunate furry friends just need a ride.
Since 2005, Operation Roger has given nearly 600 animals a lift. The organization has detailed requirements and checks in place to make sure its drivers aren't transporting animals to or from for-profit breeders, puppy mills or show circuits. Instead, the emphasis is on rescued animals who need permanent homes, and pets who have an opportunity to be reunited with their owners. For instance, if a lost pet turns up hundreds of miles away and is identified with a microchip, that pet could get a comfy ride home in the cab of a truck.Story: To snag homes, shelter pets get glam makeovers
Robert Montagna, 56, a truck driver and Operation Roger volunteer who is based in Michigan, has witnessed some emotional reunions between pets and their owners. In one instance a waitress in Colorado had been separated from her chocolate Labrador retriever for several months in the wake of a divorce.
"When they saw each other, they just ran together toward each other like it was in a movie," Montagna said. "She cried and cried when she saw that dog."
In other cases, Montagna has fallen so in love with the pooches he's transported that he's had a hard time saying goodbye to them. He still speaks wistfully of Milo, a Jack Russell terrier who liked to curl up and sleep on Montagna's chest when he napped in his truck.
"I just love doing this," Montagna said. "I always say that if I won a big lottery, I'd buy a big RV and I'd call Sue up and say, 'Where's the dog at? I'll deliver it.' And after that, I'd call her and say, 'OK, where's the next dog at?' I'd just keep doing this all over the country."
Sometimes the logistics involved with getting a pet transported exactly where it needs to go by truck can be tricky. That's when pilots fill a huge need. Since it was founded in 2008, Pilots N Paws — a South Carolina-based organization that connects shelters and animal rescue organizations with more than 2,100 pilots and plane owners — has transported thousands of pets to safety in small airplanes.Story: How one high-flying dad is making pet rescue a family affair
"People have just really pulled together over this," said co-founder Debi Boies. "It's actually a great combination. Pilots are everyday working people who love to fly — it's a passion. If they're going to spend the money to do what they love to do, why not make a difference while they're doing it? Why not save a life? And they do."
Occasionally volunteer pilots will team up with volunteer truck drivers to coordinate a pet transport. In other cases, when the weather turns bad and pilots know families are eagerly awaiting special animal deliveries, they'll spend their own money to rent cars and make sure the deliveries happen. "You can't imagine what these pilots are willing to do," Boies said. "Some of them even end up adopting the animals they transported."
Finding a new home — in a truck
Some organizations work with truckers — not by proving transport, but by helping to connect truck drivers with animals they'd like to adopt.
Susanne Spirit, a country and blues singer based in Southern California, has started an energetic, music-filled, on-site adoption program for the hundreds of truck drivers who visit the TravelCenters of America truck stop in Ontario, Calif. The Musical Truckin' Dogs Adoption Program founded by Spirit does not facilitate transport for animals, but helps match truckers with rescue pets of their own.
The truckers who adopt dogs through Spirit's program are set up with everything they need for seven to 10 consecutive days: water, bowls, collars, harnesses, leashes, blankets, a kennel if needed, toys, treats and food. She's even arranged to have a mobile groomer and a mobile veterinarian in the parking lot. Over the course of 11 months, Spirit and a number of volunteers have managed to find rolling, loving homes for more than 900 dogs.Story: For couples in close quarters, squeeze-y does it
"These truck drivers can't just stop at Walmart or Petco — they're hauling freight," Spirit said. "So with those care packages, all they have to worry about is the dog. We don't make a dime off of any of the dogs, and I don't know how many truckers have put together care packages. Everything is donated. ...
"The truckers are so grateful to have these dogs. I knew truckers wanted dogs, and they're killing so many dogs — we just had to do this."

EFF Joins Nearly 150 Organizations, Security Experts, and Companies to Urge President Obama to Support Strong Encryption
Email. Online banking. Facebook. Your doctor's office. These are all places where we rely on encryption to keep the private details of our lives safe. Without encryption, none of these services would be remotely safe to use, and even with encryption breaches are too common. We all want the digital world to be safer, not less secure. That's why EFF joined the nearly 150 privacy and human rights organizations, technology companies and trade associations, and individual security and policy experts who sent a letter urging President Obama to
One of EFF's first major legal victories was Bernstein v. Department of Justice, a landmark case that resulted in establishing code as speech and changed United States export regulations on encryption software, paving the way for international e-commerce. We represented Daniel J. Bernstein, a Berkeley mathematics Ph.D. student, who wished to publish an encryption algorithm he developed, the source code for a program to run the algorithm, and a mathematical paper describing and explaining the algorithm.
It's looking like we might be on the brink of another crypto war. The first one, in the 90s, was a misguided attempt to limit the public's access to strong, secure cryptography. And since then, the reasons we need the good security provided by strong crypto have only multiplied. That's why EFF has joined 20 civil society organizations and companies in sending a letter to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to "re-emphasize the importance of creating a process for establishing secure and resilient encryption standards, free from back doors or other known vulnerabilities."
Update 9/26/14: Recently Apple has announced that it is providing basic encryption on mobile devices that they cannot bypass, even in response to a request from law enforcement. Google has promised to take similar steps in the near future. Predictably, law enforcement has responded with howls of alarm.
It's no secret that EFF is strongly opposed to the United States' piecemeal approach to updating sanction provisions for the five U.S.-embargoed countries of Sudan, Syria, Cuba, North Korea, and Iran. We've noted that the fundamental problem with the United States' reform method is that it's "largely reactionary and ultimately prioritizes certain countries over others for reasons that are, to put it charitably, hard to discern." For example, according to an article published by the Open Technology Institute, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) issued Iran a new General License D-1—which replaces the old General License D—making it acceptable for U.S.

Fill your house with the best-ever aroma with spicy gingerbread cookies.
Shannon Bills from Indio, CA created this recipe for a Celebrate the Season Holiday Cookie Contest.
"I love gingerbread cookies, but I am a sucker for chewy cookies, which most gingerbread cookies are not. So I devised this recipe and came up with the most delicious, moist and chewy gingerbread cookies ever. You will be sure to make these every year! We make these every Christmas Eve and they rarely last a day past Christmas!" Shannon Bills

text: It really is pathetic how craptastic this new wave of Legends is (and judging by the pictures, the next wave is even worse). I think Hasbro should've changed the name from Marvel Legends to something else. Maybe then these new figures would be perceived as just cheaply packaged, slapped-together toys for small children, instead of a slap in the face of the adult Marvel Legends collector.

Where and when did it all start? Always hear that our dogs wernt born to do these things we ask, we teach em to do it.
How did they get the retriever name if retrieving was mans idea?
Where and when did it all start? Always hear that our dogs wernt born to do these things we ask, we teach em to do it.
How did they get the retriever name if retrieving was mans idea?
I think, for the breed in your avatar they retrieved fish that jumped out of nets. That was before folks shot ducks with shotguns.
"So what is big is not always the Trout nor the Deer but the chance, the being there. And what is full is not necessarily the creel nor the freezer, but the memory." ~ Aldo Leopold
"The Greatest Obstacle to Discovery is not Ignorance -- It is the Illusion of Knowledge" ~ Daniel Boorstin
I don't think they were called Retrievers before man. I could be wrong.
We shoot dogs with a Canon
"Your dog learns as much by doing his work right,by your praise and encouragement, as he does by your displeasure and correction." DLWalters
In brief:
Labradors ancestors came from Newfoundland dogs known as St. John's water dogs. They were primarily used for helping fisherman haul nets, buoys and fish from the water. They were "discovered" by Englishman who brought them back to England to use them as hunting dogs.
Do a search on google for more info.
Marked retrieving and picking up dozens of shot game birds on His Lordships estate is what they were named/bred for. By the mid 1800's the modern breech opening shotgun became so easy and accurate that the sport of wing shooting took off on the British Isles amongst the aristocracy, landed gentry and the very wealthy. Shooting parties became pivotal events on the social calender and a weekend's "shoot" might produce a "bag" of 200 to 2000 birds, retrieving dogs were essential to relieving the burden on estate staff.
The division between natural talents and trained skills were permanently set once Jay Carlisle brought Dave Elliot over from Scotland. Blinds as we know them today were never part of the thought process behind the development of the retriever, this and demanding that dogs go in a laser straight line to marks and blinds is man's idea of ideal retriever work, not the dogs'.

power without lumber, raciness without weediness
A big man never looks down on others.... instead, he is someone to look up to.
I believe my brown dog, albeit bred in part from Newfoundlands, was bred mainly to retrieve waterfowl.
They WERE born to "do this."
What some folks wrote about St. Johns dogs retrieving fishing nets is true. Then the breed was developed for hunting in Great Britain.
YOUR dog that you have today was born to "do this." They were born to retrieve. They were born to love birds. They were born to mark them with their eyes, smell them with their noses, retrieve them and flush them.
However, when it comes to blind retrieves, being steady, handling in general, hunt tests (at least those above junior/started), and field trials I think it is best said that "none of this was their idea." They were not born to sit instead of go (insert show dog and/or brit lab joke here) and they were not born to run blinds IMO. I know that those abilities are taken into consideration in breeding so even that may be debatable, but I think it is a stretch to say they were born to run blinds or sit instead of go.

I read (can't quote the source) that the desire to retrieve comes from the instinct to bring things back to the den, so yes, they were born to do this.

Call me a geek but while most of the world was tuned in Sunday night to watch the opening of the Academy Awards, that annual overly-long, overly-hyped, over-the-top glitz fest of over-paid, overly-egotistical and overly-dressed Hollywood types patting themselves on the back, I was reveling in a small-screen television production that hadn't been seen since 1964 (and which I had never seen since I was 7 years old at the time and it never aired here in the states).
When you think about TV shows with staying power, shows that have survived the whims of viewers, advertisers, critics and network executives, what comes to mind?
For those of us of a certain age, you might say "Gunsmoke," that prime-time Western that ran from 1955-75 and racked up a total of 635 episodes.
For younger viewers you might think "The Simpsons," which first aired in 1987 and celebrated its 500th episode this month.
Truth is, the longest-running television program here in the United States is NBC's "Meet the Press," which was first broadcast on Nov. 6, 1947 and has been on the air ever since. I believe some of the political talk show's original guests are still in Congress.
But, being the geek that I am, none of those shows ever really interested me. I was always a science-fiction fan.
So which sci-fi TV show has been around the longest and no, despite Capt. Kirk's appearance at this year's Oscars, it's not "Star Trek?"
According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the longest-running science-fiction television show on the planet is "Doctor Who," the British production that first aired on Nov. 23, 1963 and, except for a brief hiatus in the late '70s, is still around today, racking up more than 790 episodes as of last year.
The show, which has featured 11 different actors over that long run portraying the time-traveling Doctor from the planet Gallifrey, celebrates it's 50th anniversary this year, quite an accomplishment, even for a Time Lord.
So you can imagine my delight when I turned on BBC America Sunday night and found the first of what I'm sure will be many teasers leading up the 50th anniversary special episode this November.
It was an old, grainy, black-and-white episode from 1964 featuring the actor who played the first Doctor.
Rumor has it that the producers are working on a storyline for the 50th anniversary episode that will reunite the surviving eight actors who have played the Doctor (three have since passed away) and that it will be broadcast in 3D.
"Doctor Who" currently airs here in the states on BBC America and on Mississippi Public Broadcasting, where I first discovered the series years ago while I was still in college. If I'm still alive come November, you can bet I'll be there for the 50th anniversary show.
And to the Ole Miss student whose license plate reads, "TARDIS," don't be surprised to find it missing one day.

I happen to love birds, I feed them, have some decorator birds in my house, and even put them on the Christmas tree. But, having said this, some people think they are bad luck. I only mention this because my friend received a quilt last week as a retirement gift and won't bring it into her house. She is superstitious and thinks they are bad luck. How sad that someone thought so much of her to make her a quilt and she doesn't want it because it has birds all over it. You just never know.

Woman mauled by 5 dogs in north Florida
Published: Monday, May 6, 2013 at 2:39 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, May 6, 2013 at 2:39 p.m.
DAYTONA BEACH — A woman is recovering in a Daytona Beach hospital after being mauled by a pack of dogs while walking with her daughter in western Flagler County.
Sheriff's deputies say 27-year-old Brandy Bookamer suffered "heavy wounds" by five dogs around 8 p.m. Sunday. She was airlifted to Halifax Health Medical Center in Daytona Beach for treatment. Her 6-year-old daughter was not injured.
The Daytona Beach News-Journal reports the woman suffered puncture wounds and scratches to her extremities and was "barely moving" when help arrived.
Flagler County Sheriff's Lt. Bob Weber says the dogs were pit bulls. Flagler County Animal Control took the dogs.
Bookamer's daughter was with her grandparents late Sunday.

Scientists identify protein complex responsible for gastrointestinal cancers
Singapore: Associate Professor Matthias Ernst and colleagues from Australia's Walter and Eliza Hall Institute have identified a complex of proteins that promotes the growth of some types of colon and gastric cancers, and shown that medications that block the function of this complex have the potential to be developed into a new treatment for these diseases. The research was supported by the Australian National Health and Medical Research Council and the Victorian Government.
The research team found that inflammation-associated gastric and colon cancers showed activation of mTorc1, an aggregate of proteins that signals inside cells to promote growth. Many cancer types depend on mTorc1 activity to grow, and there is considerable interest in the use of mTorc1 inhibitors to treat cancer.
The complex of proteins, known as mTorc1 (mammalian target of rapamycin complex), were previously implicated in the development of some other cancers but this is the first time it has been shown to promote the growth of colon and gastric cancers that are associated with inflammation.
The discovery was made by Dr Ernst along with his colleague Dr Stefan Thiem of the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute's Cell Signalling and Cell Death division and others at the Melbourne-Parkville Branch of the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research. Associate Professor Ernst is a Ludwig Institute Member.
Associate Professor Ernst said, "We have previously shown that the immune system's inflammatory response can promote the growth of tumours. In the digestive system, persistent inflammatory conditions have been linked with tumour growth: patients who have stomach ulcers or gastritis (inflammation of the stomach lining) are more susceptible to gastric cancer, while inflammation of the colon, called colitis, is associated with an increased risk of developing colon cancer."

2005 Santos Tour Down Under champion, Spain's Luis Leon Sanchez (Caisse d'Epargne) claimed stage five of the Santos Tour Down Under on a day that saw some of the superstars of world cycling, including Australia's reigining elite road race World Champion, Cadel Evans, light up the race.
Germany's Andre Greipel held onto the overall race lead but 119,000 fans were treated to a thrilling battle on the penultimate stage of the Tour which began on the coast at Snapper Pt and took the riders on a 148 kilometre journey through the McLaren Vale winegrowing region ahead of two laps up the testing Old Willunga Hill before the finish in Willunga.
Sanchez won in a time of 3hr29min39sec sprinting two seconds clear of South Australian Luke Roberts (Milram) with 2009 Tour of Spain champion, Alejandro Valverde a further two seconds back in third place. Greipel is now 11 seconds clear of Sanchez with Roberts sitting third overall at 17 seconds.
Evans, was fourth, but he was the one who almost sent the crowd into orbit when he launched an attack the second time up the climb displaying his rainbow stripes in all their glory. Tasmanian Wesley Sulzberger (Francaise des Jeux) went with him. Evans set the pace and a kilometre from the top Sulzberger faded but as Evans approached the top Valverde and Sanchez steamed past.
Valverde crested the top of the climb first ahead of Sanchez and Evans setting up one of the most exciting final scenes of the12 year history of the Tour.
After the climb 2009 U23 cross country mountain bike World Champion, Peter Sagan (Liquigas) tagged onto the leaders who buried their heads and drove forward trying to gain time on Greipel.
"The truth is we went out for the general classification (overall race lead) today and I must give thanks to my team they did a great job, especially Alejandro Valverde," said Sanchez who collected a ten second bonus for the stage win to move from 20th to second overall. "I had to finish in front of Cadel Evans over the line and when it got down to it Alejandro Valverde put it right on the line, he was very generous in his work and I was able to beat Cadel Evans over the line but unfortunately Griepel (Andre) was not far enough behind."
Evans knew Sanchez was a threat to his own overall ranking but opted to go for broke.
"It was an interesting position on the climb, of course, when you have two Caisse d'Epargne riders, one's a very fast finisher and the other's a strong finisher, it put me in a difficult situation," Evans explained. "The last thing I wanted to do was lead Sanchez out for the stage, cause he's breathing down my neck on GC, but so was the entire peloton so I thought better to play for something than lose everything."
As the fans screamed for Evans the HTC-Columbia freight train with Greipel in tow was gaining on the leaders. Roberts managed to split the Spaniards on the line and Greipel sprinted in with the group that finished nine seconds later to protect his lead.
Race Director, Mike Turtur, was thrilled with the spectacle on show today.
"That is the best stage we have had in the race … because of what was at stake … the jersey being held by Greipel (Andre), the possibility of Cadel (Evans) taking the jersey and then the passion and the desire for guys to win a stage like Sanchez – I think it just had everything, I mean you couldn't have scripted a better day," said Turtur. "On the climb, the reaction of the people was sensational and when they heard that Cadel was at the front and making a bid it was unreal.
"I have not experienced a climb like that other than at the Tour de France it was just unbelievable, there is thousands up there, apparently people were camping up there last night".
Greipel is now poised to become only the second rider, after hometown hero Stuart O'Grady, to win the Tour twice. But the battle for second and third is far from over with sprint star Robbie McEwen (Katusha) at 20 seconds and eyeing a win on tomorrow's sixth and final stage putting pressure on Sanchez and Roberts when the race hits the Adelaide City Council street circuit.
Another battle has yet to be decided as well and that's the title of Skoda King of the Mountain. Austrian rider Thomas Rohregger (Milram) was impressive today when he scampered up Old Willunga Hill on the first time over the climb. He rocketed from the main bunch not only reeling in a lead group of seven riders but riding straight past them to grab the 16 points and increase his lead in the classification.
"Our plan was for me to attack on the first time (up the climb), the second time I took the race more relaxed because I was quite tired," said Rohregger. "It was a really good race for me and especially Luke Roberts with his second place."
He is now on 54 points ahead of Australian David Kemp (UniSA - Australia) on 28 points and Kazakhstan's Valeriy Dmitriyev (Astana) on 24 points. A maximum of 32 points can be won tomorrow on Montefiore Hill.
Greipel also leads the Jayco Sprint classification and looks set to take home that jersey as well.
Belgian Jurgen Roelandts (Omega Pharma - Lotto) is leading the Cycle Instead U26 Young Rider Classification by 13 seconds from Sulzberger.
The start of the stage saw a flurry of attacks before a group of seven riders finally managed to stretch a lead beyod a minute. That group contested both Jayco Intermediate Sprints of the day at Snapper Pt with Dmitriyev winning the first at the 40km mark ahead of Russian Eduard Vorganov (Katusha) and Matthew Wilson (Garmin-Transitions). The second time through at 80km Vorganov claimed the three second bonus ahead of Dmitriyev with Cameron Meyer (Garmin-Transitions) third.
The break managed to gain around two minutes on the peloton but as the race approached the climb for the first time the the climber's were setting up to do battle and the break was doomed.

"So tell me, what's your five-year plan?" It's a question that occasionally stumps people when asked in job interviews, on college applications, and during beauty pageants. But for Dr. Christopher J. Bae, an assistant professor in the UH Mānoa Department of Anthropology and member of the Center for Korean Studies, the answer is easy—to use a $1.2 million research grant to conduct paleoanthropological (human evolution) research in Korea through the year 2015.
Awarded the prestigious grant by the Academy of Korean Studies in South Korea in 2010, Bae recently departed for Korea on his quest to reconstruct the past. The award is one of only six proposals in the world funded by the Academy's Korean Studies Promotion Service (KSPS) division.
It was his unique life story that led to an interest in Anthropology. Born in Korea to Korean parents, Bae was orphaned at the age of one in Seoul. After living in an orphanage for six months, he was adopted by an American family. Thus, his awareness and interest in topics such as race and human variation stemmed from an early age growing up in a Caucasian-American household and neighborhood. In order to discover and understand his ethnic "roots," Bae's curiosity took him back to Seoul during his undergraduate studies at Yonsei University on an exchange program.
While his main objective in visiting Korea was initially to reconstruct his own past, Bae has since expanded his focus to address a variety of questions about East Asian paleoanthropology. Besides Korea, Bae has been conducting paleoanthropological field and laboratory research in Japan and China as well. A man of diversity, he has been carrying out collaborative research on a diversity of projects (e.g., hominin fossils, vertebrate taphonomy, lithics) in all three countries.
Bae attributes having spent a good part of his time living and becoming acclimated with each country's particular culture as facilitating the development of his strong network of collaborators and collaborations. "From the accumulated experience, I believe that the best way to develop a firm understanding of the human evolutionary record in East Asia is to link the hominin morphological and behavioral records," noted Bae. "As such, my current research interests crosscut different subdisciplines in anthropology and other scientific fields."
Titled "The Earliest Peopling of the Korean Peninsula: Current Multidisciplinary Perspectives," Bae's $1.2 million project will develop an active long-term research program in Korea to facilitate a more comprehensive understanding of eastern Asian human evolution during prehistory. "In particular, this project will integrate datasets from different social and natural science fields to reconstruct a synthetic view of human evolution in the region," explained Dr. Bae, a resident of Mānoa Valley.
The research project is multidisciplinary in nature, and involves close collaboration with scientists from various institutions in Korea, England and the United States. The proposal was strongly supported by the UH Mānoa's Department of Anthropology, College of Social Sciences, and the Center for Korean Studies. And though Bae's project in Korea may end in five years, his journey of self-discovery remains infinite.
For more information, contact Dr. Bae at email@example.com.

TK6540 of the UK Garrison
I do believe I calculated it right then, the week prior to the DVD release no matter, it's soon and there's plenty of them to go round.
Got my silver R2 today. Not from TRU though.
£23 (£26 inc p&p) will get you one from R2dtoys.
It's a great looking figure, and the black cardback makes it really stand out.
According to an email I recieved, TRU supplies will NOT be in collector grade condition.
R2dtoys can guarantee c9+ condition, but supplies are getting low.
TK6540 of the UK Garrison
I'm afraid I too weakened and ordered from R2DTOYS. I may yet also go to TRU for a second helping since I have a hankering to build some more armies but I simply wanted to ensure that I got one. I'm an opener so John could send me one with no packaging for all I care. £23 for a single solitary smal figure that's going to be opened? sounds like I'm paying a lot for not much at all but it's all down to how much you want something as to the value you place on it. If I want something badly enough the cost doesn't matter. It's the geting it that matters. The enjoyment of it that matters.
Anyway, hopefully i got my order in before stocks ran dry. I think silver R2 will look excellent stood next to TC-14.
Oh i know what you're thinking, I just made a hypocrite of myself. Possibly, possibly. At least I can admit it though. Do i feel shamed? Not a bit. Shame is not something I care to entertain. Least not very often.
I shall be happy when i have my mits on this litle sucker sometime next week whether he comes on a mint card or a battered and dogeared one. As lomg as all his chroming is intact and he has the requisite paint applications I'll be content.
You won't be dissapointed with it E.J.
I prefered to buy one from R2dtoys for £23, than go to TRU and pay £30 for stuff I don't want, just to get it for free.
I'm feeling the urge to buy another though.
I'm going to Memorabilia next month, so having one signed by Kenny Baker himself is a must.
Signed in silver pen on a black cardback will look the mutts nuts.
Oooo Suit Me Nicely Sir !!!
whoops, my finger just slipped on that order button
TK6540 of the UK Garrison
The worst thing my partner can do is go to bed before i do. I sit here all alone downstairs with the internet and the credit card details at my fingertips and...... last night i nearly went overboard and nearly ordered about £700 worth of stuff. I have a habit of window shopping on online stores, adding stuff to thebasket that i want and then seeing how much i would have spent before emptying the basket. I was over at TOY PALACE the other day and managed to cram £800 into the basket. So much money and there was really nothing in the basket but a few HTF figures. One of these days I'll end up hitting the submit button by mistake and god knows where that'll lead.
I'm getting itchy order finger right now for those two new speeders, Dooku and Anakin, and the trash compactor sets. not due 'til next year but when you want to make sure you get something it's sooooo tempting.
Popcorn had the silver R2 listed on their site a while back for just £8 they had a pre-order on it which very quickly got removed presumably after a million orders went in for it. Wonder if they'll still be so cheap if they actually get them in? I mean from what i hear, Popcorn is a small venture, seeing all the higher prices they might bump their price up too "due to unforseen circumstances the loer price we listed has not been possible to achieve, the new price is..." Maybe they'll honour the first so many orders at the lower price or just not bother with it at all exept for in store real world customers who shop with them regularly. Only time will tell.
E.J, while your shopping you couldnt surf on over to fender.co.uk an pop a E.C Strat (blackie) into your shopping basket?, I'll pay ya back . Ive had my silver R2 for a few weeks now, he sits happily next to Saga R2, we all have our weak moments ;-).
Just got my second Silver R2 through the post today.
Luverly Jubbly
TK6540 of the UK Garrison
Yeah, I got mine today too. Nice - very nice. I had to open him of course. trundle him round his new home and meet the other guys..... him and TC-14 look absolutely fantastic together. Now if Popcorn ship out too that'll make the second one. If not, at least i have him and that I'm thankful for. :happy: Now I just need to make him a drinks tray to carry....
When is the TRU promotion expected to begin over here? I can't wait for it - I find that collecting Star Wars figures can get very boring, so its nice to have a new way of getting a figure.

Expectations are high, maybe too high, for any movie set in the Land of Oz.
It's hard to imagine anything quite as perfect or magical as "The Wizard of Oz," but "Oz the Great and Powerful" tries its best.
Oscar (James Franco) is the man behind the curtain: not a wizard, though he calls himself one, but a man who's mastered sleights of hand, distractions and light tricks.
After being outed as a fake and playboy in Kansas, Oscar is transported by tornado to the Land of Oz, where he meets and woos witch Theodora (Mila Kunis).
She tells him there is a prophecy that a wizard will save Oz from the Wicked Witch of the West, and she believes he is that wizard.
With Glinda the Good Witch (Michelle Williams), Finley the winged monkey (Zach Braff) and China Girl (Joey King) at his side, Oscar must decide if he can become the real deal and save the citizens of Oz, or if he'll skip out and run back to Kansas.
"Oz the Great and Powerful" is a prequel to "The Wizard of Oz," and there are lots of fun nods to the 1939 film.
Oscar's world is black and white, for example, until he lands in Oz, and there are hints at the Scarecrow, Tin Man and Cowardly Lion.
But the wonder, music and innocence of the classic movie are missing for much of "Oz the Great and Powerful" – it doesn't pick up steam and become truly magical until the end.
Most of "Oz the Great and Powerful" drowns beneath way too much CGI; in fact, when Oscar first lands in Oz, it looks like an animated movie with live action actors.
But, it's actually a computer-generated character that steals the show: delicate China Girl, who Oscar meets in China Town, is the life of the movie. She's all heart and spunk, and you almost wish she was a real person.
Nothing can compare to "The Wizard of Oz," but "Oz the Great and Powerful" has its magical moments, even if they are few and far between. Franco is no Frank Morgan, who played Oz in the 1939 movie, and there could've been way more Munchkins and music.
But Oz is always a delightful place to visit, even if it's not a perfect trip.
It's playing at the Tupelo Commons Cinema, Corinth Cinema, Oxford Studio Cinema and Hollywood Premier Cinemas in Starkville.
Look for movie reviews in Scene on Thursdays, and listen each Tuesday morning on Wizard 106.7 between 8:30 and 8:45 a.m.
Kelli Karlson Wizard 106.7 – She gives "Oz the Great and Powerful" an A. "It was visually stunning. I will see it multiple times."

GRHRCH Huntington's Aged T Perfection MH "Colby"- (FC AFC Wingmagic's Roux MH x GMPR Santa Fe's Contender Tyra MH) DOB 12/15/2008 has an incredible termperment coupled with retrieving desire and trainability. Colby was the first dog that I trained from the ground up by myself to obtain his HRCH title at 20 months old. Colby passed the Greneda MS grand at 28 months old with Derek Randle at The Retriever Academy. Derek went ahead and put Colby's MH title at 34 months old and passed his second grand test at the Spring Grand 2012 in Wisconson. I finished out Colby's 300 points in September 2012 and we are have run a couple quals and will continue next spring, since I figured out Quals can be fun.
Colby is from the second breeding of Roux x Tyra that produced Ammo, the all-time high point derby dog and Canadian Amateur National Finalist and these breedings have produced several QAA, MH, HRCH and Derby list dogs. Colby loves to train, hunt or just hang out. He is a fantastic family dog along with his retrieving achievements. OFA Hips Good, Eyes Cert, EIC Carrier and CNM clear by parentage.
The avatar is a picture of Colby and I'll post some more as soon as Photobucket is working again. For pictures and further information, please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com or 479-462-3266. Feel free to contact Derek Randle at The Retriever Academy (firstname.lastname@example.com) if you would like.

The Voice: "Inside a Real Kumite"
- Written by Dave Walsh
Ask any Jean Claude Van Damme fan about the toughest event in martial arts and they can name it - The 100 man Kumite. Made famous by Van Damme in Bloodsport, this legendary and near mythical event is, contrary to what you may believe, real. One challenger faces 100 opponents in succession, each bout lasting 90 seconds. Over the years, there have been spotty stories about Kumites, but it's often been hard to sort the legend from the truth. Until now.
In 2009, K-1 commentator Michael "The Voice" Schiavello had the honor of witnessing a Kumite. The challenger was Armenian Artur Hovhannisyan. The 100 opponents included K-1 legends Glaube Feitosa and Francisco Filho. Schiavello has now written an article on the event that is absolutely required reading. A small sample:
IN A GYM ON THE FOURTH FLOOR OF ICHIGEKI PLAZA IN TOKYO, Artur Hovhannisyan stands by a full-length window and looks down upon the streets of Ebisu though his thoughts are miles away. His white gi is pristine and a black belt adorns his waist with three gold bars on the tip (one for each dan ranking). With his shaved head and clean appearance, the 33-year-old Armenian could pass as a banker or an accountant. Indeed it's not until you see his calloused knuckles and stare into the black abyss of his eyes that you realize who you're really standing face-to-face with.
"It's time," says a voice from across the room.
"Osu!" grunts Hovhannisyan. He slams his fist into his palm, lets out a loud breath and is led out of the gym by two officials with all the solemnity of wardens leading a death-row inmate to the chair. Hovhannisyan enters the tiny Honbu (headquarters) dojo and the wooden door slides shut behind him. The eerie thud of a Taiko drum renders the room silent. As he gazes around the dojo his eyes widen; only now does he truly comprehend the gravity of what lies ahead. On the floor sit one hundred black and brown belts, legs crossed, perfectly postured. They're bare knuckled and hungry, like a pack of jackals ready to rip Hovhannisyan apart at the limbs.
The entire article is available on the HDNet blog - click here.
Seriously folks, I can not stress this enough - you MUST read this. Drop whatever you're doing, click the link, read it.
Highlights of Hovhannisyan's Kumite, including footage of him facing Feitosa and Filho below.

HypoMon wins BioSpectrum product of the year award for 2012
AIMEDICS, an Australian medical device company, has come up with a device that help people with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) by detecting and preventing sleep-time hypoglycemic attacks.
The device, winner of BioSpectrum Asia Pacific Bioscience Industry Product of the Year 2012, is non-invasive and functions as a nocturnal hypoglycemia monitor and alarm to provide safer sleep to people with type 1 diabetes aged between 10 and 25 years.
People with type 1 diabetes require daily insulin injections to manage their condition. This has a short term complication of hypoglycaemia (low blood glucose levels). If undetected and not treated, hypoglycaemia can lead to seizures, comas and hospitalization. People with type 1 diabetes have between a 14-to-50 percent chance of experiencing hypoglycaemia at night, and only a few are identified. At night, people with type 1 diabetes are at increased risk of undetected hypoglycaemia as they are asleep and their autonomic responses are reduced. According to reports, between two and four percent of people with type 1 diabetes die due to hypoglycemia.
AIMEDICS has been working on this since its establishment in 2001. The company's work was based on the research and patents of two inventors from the University of Technology Sydney (UTS). AIMEDICS upgraded and developed the original technology concepts into the clinically-tested HypoMon product with investments and funding from Biotechnology Innovation Fund, New South Wales Government, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (through UTS) and the Australian Government.
The HypoMon product has had two major iterations since it was transferred from academia in 2001. During that period, AIMEDICS developed a world leading database in hypoglycemia. AIMEDICS has a significant beta release program in Australia. This has seen many users of HypoMon provide product feedback which has led to its improvement.
The HypoMon System costs $3,000 and includes a monitor, transmitter, belt and a sensor. The components cost $100 for the HypoMon belt and $150 for the HypoMon sensor. The HypoMon monitor and transmitter are warranted for 12 months from purchase. The belt and sensor are warranted for three months from purchase.
In July 2011, HypoMon received an Australian International Design Award in recognition of design and innovation excellence. Reacting to this, Mr Victor Skladnev, CEO, AIMEDICS, says, "HypoMon went through a vigorous assessment by a panel of Australian and international experts amidst strong competition. "This award is an acknowledgement of our significant, ongoing and relevant investment in the HypoMon technology," says Mr Martin Greenberg, chairman, AIMEDICS.
