Started over holiday, something is clogging torch head air flow. Have to completely disassemble to restore and stops again after 5 minutes cutting. Feels like thin plastic material that is coming out. Any ideas would be appreciated.
No announcement yet.

Spectrum clogged torch air quality
Unfortunately I have had same set up for last 2 years with 3 different machines, just the miller inline filter at machine input. Tried both 60 gallon North Star shop compressor and Bel Aire 30 gallon truck mounted gas compressor, different supply hoses on each. I think either regulator or air control valve are coming apart internally. Sometimes I forget to use regulator when I use on service truck so maybe 140 psi has hurt something. Unfortunately the internal regulator and control valve are tiny compared to 375 cutmaster/400 airforce I had before.

spectrum xtreme guts
Taking unit apart to find source of contamination. Cleaning internal filter separator unit. More and more looking like dirty air supply finally over loaded internal moisture separator and let all the built up crud come spilling out. I guess time for motor guard filter.Attached Files
Simply get a oversize manual drain "hurricane" filter assembly , and step it down to the size you need for the machine. Then just leave the manual drain open slightly. The hurricane is simular to the automatic one one your machine. The automatic seems to plug up and never work. Both the motor guard and the toilet systems are pretty much useless.Last edited by cruizer; 01-20-2014, 10:12 AM.
xtreme air flow stop
Installed water seperator on plasma after Miller filter, did not see any moisture at all in clear bowl. Internal filter and external miller filter elements off white, still usable. Cut great for 4 minutes and suddenly air flow stops. No way clogged with no moisture in filter bowl. Waited 20 minutes and tried again and sure enough cut great again then stops after couple minutes. Time to get voltmeter and do some testing before and after shutdown.Attached Files
pressure valve test
I figure read voltage while working and when it stops working. That will let me know if valve is turning itself off or being told by controller to turn off. Verify valve bad before spending $118 on new valve. Since 12vdc I can duplicate signal with some rc batteries once I know voltage range. Gotta fix soon, my boys using for school welding class projects.Attached Files
The Miller inline air filter is a very good filter.The only problem is it does not have a drain. You have to remove the element and let it air drt. When moisture builds up in it if you do not let it air dry it will start to deteriorate and pieces of the element will work their way through the system to the torch head.Tim Lux

XT30 vs ICE27
Thanks for information, make sure I have extra element for external filter to let dry fully. Thinking about buy new style torch after repairing air valve since supposed to be direct swap. Any insite on New XT30 torch versus ICE27 on value and performance?Attached Files
high pressure
I did notice that when I upgraded to xtreme 375 from airforce 400 I had to use a regulator off compressor to bring down to 120psi or torch would flame out, not cut continuously. Regulator inside xtreme preset and tiny, old machines you set manually.Attached Files

The NPD Group, a market research company, polled 2000 consumers to learn about burger eating in casual restaurants.
What they found is that people prefer bigger burgers and those topped with cheese. When it comes to rolls, burger fans seem to be open to baguettes and other non-traditional breads as well as the usual buns.
Trend-tracking firm FoodWatch partnered with NPD to share additional burger insights:
- Ketchup is still the #1 condiment, but popular flavor partners include Ranch, bacon and barbecue
- Emerging flavors include orange, ginger, garlic and parsley
- Flavors gaining awareness are cilantro and Caesar
"New flavors and toppings are a great way to make a menu staple like hamburgers fresh and exciting," comments Michele Schmal, VP foodservice for the NPD Group. "As casual dining operators explore ways to grow, it's good to remember that Americans love to try new twists on old favorites."

LONDON (Aug. 3, 2012) – Destinee Hooker (San Antonio, Texas) scored a match-high 19 points in leading the U.S. Olympic Women's Volleyball Team to a 25-17, 25-20, 25-16 victory over Serbia on Friday evening to clinch the top spot in Pool B of the Olympic Games being held in London.
Team USA, ranked No. 1 in the world with a 27-1 record in 2012, remains undefeated in four pool matches heading into the final pool match on Sunday against Turkey at 8 p.m. local time (noon PT). Team USA is guaranteed the top spot and will face Pool A's fourth-place team to open the quarterfinal round on Tuesday. Serbia, the reigning European champion, falls to 0-4 without a standing point.
The Americans took advantage of 10 Serbian errors in the opening set to come back from a 6-3 deficit using a 13-3 scoring for a 16-9 lead before settling in on a 25-17 victory. The U.S. came back from an 8-7 deficit to reach a 12-9 advantage on a 5-1 run that propelled the Americans to a 25-20 victory. Team USA rocketed to a 9-1 advantage in the third set and cruised to the 25-16 victory that clinched the Pool B top spot.
"We are very happy with the win as Serbia is a dangerous team," U.S. Olympic Women's Volleyball Team Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon (Christchurch, New Zealand) said. "From our history with them, we know they are a tough team."
Hooker reached her 19 points with 12 kills on 21 attempts in addition to a match-high six blocks and an ace. Logan Tom (Salt Lake City, Utah) picked up 12 points with 10 kills on 18 attacks and two blocks. Foluke Akinradewo (Plantation, Fla.) charted six kills on 14 attacks and five blocks for 11 points.
Jordan Larson (Hooper, Neb.) came off the bench for six points including five kills on 12 attacks and an ace. Christa Harmotto (Hopewell Township, Pa.) tacked on three kills on six swings and a block for four points. Danielle Scott-Arruda (Baton Rouge, La.) pocketed three kills on four attacks and a block for four points. Lindsey Berg (Honolulu) added a kill and ace for two points. Megan Hodge (Durham, N.C. ) rounded out the scoring with a kill.
Berg set the U.S. offense to a 47.1 kill percent and .356 hitting efficiency (41-10-87) with 32 running sets on 58 assist attempts. Nicole Davis (Stockton, Calif.) collected a team-high nine digs and added seven excellent receptions on eight errorless chances. Larson provided 10 excellent receptions on 19 errorless chances.
"It's amazing that we're through and have won the group but we have another chance on Saturday to get better as a team," Berg said. "I like the momentum we have going. We will approach our match with Turkey just like any other match, that as a chance to learn and get better."
McCutcheon started Tom and Hodge at outside hitter, Akinradewo and Harmotto at middle blocker, Hooker at opposite and Berg at setter. Davis is the designated U.S. libero for the Olympic Games. Larson and Scott-Arruda subbed into the second set and started the third set in place of Hodge and Harmotto, respectively. Courtney Thompson (Kent, Wash.) and Haneef-Park (Laguna Hills, Calif.) were subs in the first two sets as part of a double-sub. Tamari Miyashiro (Kaneohe, Hawaii) was a serving sub in the third set.
The U.S. limited Serbia to 39.2 kill percent and .147 hitting efficiency as it committed 25 attack errors (40-25-102). Team USA won the defensive battle as well with a 15-3 block advantage and a 25-22 edge in digs. The U.S. out-served Serbia 3-1 and committed just one service error for the match.
"We just need to be consistent, make fewer errors and play the USA Volleyball way," Akinradewo said on the team's success and moving forward the rest of the tournament. "Team chemistry is important. Regardless of the sport, the team is the most important thing, and this group we have right now is amazing."
As far as the upcoming match against Turkey, Team USA will prepare as it has for the first four matches.
"We just need to play our game," Akinradewo said. "No matter what team we play, they're going to want to beat USA. We've got that target on our backs."
Brankica Mihajlovic totaled 13 points to lead Serbia, while Jovana Brakocevic and Milena Rasic added eight points each.
While the U.S. is undefeated with a 4-0 record with a maximum 12 points, four teams are 2-2 with Korea (7 points, 2-2) edging China (7 points, 2-2) for second place based on current tiebreakers. Turkey (6 points, 2-2) is currently in fourth place, while Brazil (4 points, 2-2) is in fifth place and facing a must-win against Serbia on Aug. 5 to have a chance to advance to the quarterfinals and defend its 2008 Olympic Games title.
Earlier today in Pool B, Brazil (4 points, 2-2) topped China (7 points, 2-2) 25-16, 20-25, 25-18, 28-30, 15-10 and Turkey defeated Korea 25-16, 21-25, 25-18, 19-25, 15-12.
In Pool A, Russia (12 points, 4-0) held off Japan (6 points, 2-2) 27-25, 25-17, 20-25, 25-19 and Dominican Republic (3 points, 1-3) won its first pool match in a 25-9, 25-18, 25-19 win over host Great Britain (2 points, 1-3). Italy (9 points, 3-0) and Algeria (1 point, 0-3) cap the day's matches at 10 p.m. local time (2 p.m. PT).
The top team in each of the six-team pools will face the fourth-place team in the opposite pool If the squad falls to second, it would enter a draw to determine its quarterfinal pairing with opposite pool's second- and third-place teams.
The U.S. Women are in search of its first Olympic Games gold medal after winning silver medals in 2008 in Beijing and 1984 in Los Angeles. Team USA also won the bronze in 1992 in Barcelona. Aside from the Olympics, the U.S. has not won a major season-ending tournament including the FIVB World Championship and FIVB World Cup. However, the Americans have won the FIVB World Grand Prix, the premier annual international women's volleyball tournament, the last three years and five times overall.
Serbia scored three straight points to grab a 3-1 advantage in the first set, then extended its lead to 5-2 on an attack error. Hooker and Hodge picked up consecutive kills to close to 6-5, then Hooker knotted the set at 6-all with an ace. Serbia hit into the net for a fourth consecutive Team USA point to put it in front 7-6. Tom and Harmotto pounded kills off the block after a Serbia service error to increase the American lead to 10-7 causing a Serbia timeout having yielded seven of eight points. The U.S. lead expanded to 12-8 with back-to-back errors. Hooker and Tom hammered kills and Hooker and Tom followed with blocks to push the gap to 16-9 on a 4-0 run into the second technical timeout. Akinradewo followed a Serbia error with a quick kill to force Serbia into a timeout down 18-10. After the break, Serbia committed another error to create a 19-10 score. Serbia responded with an ace around two USA errors to trim the gap to 19-13. Team USA regained an eight-point lead at 21-13 with a Hooker block after a Serbia service error. The Americans upped the advantage to 23-14 with consecutive Serbia errors. Serbia picked up two quick points to narrow the deficit to 23-16. Tom ended the set with a slam on the left side for a 25-17 victory. Tom and Hooker tallied five points each as the Americans benefited from 10 Serbian errors. The U.S. also scored four blocks in the set.
Hooker slammed consecutive kills between a kill and block by Akinradewo allowing the U.S. to take a 4-0 lead to start the second set. Serbia stopped the run with three consecutive points to cut the gap to 4-3. Serbia squared the set at 7-all and took an 8-7 lead at the first technical timeout on a block. Team USA quickly returned to the lead at 9-8 with a Larson slammed and Berg setter dump. Team USA expanded the lead to 12-9 on a Scott-Arruda block and Serbia error. The Americans stretched the lead to 14-10 with a Tom kill and Hooker block. Larson sliced an ace after a Serbia error to pick up a 19-14 advantage going into a timeout. Serbia went on a 4-1 scoring run to narrow the gap to 20-18 and prompting a USA timeout. Tom and Akinradewo scored consecutive blocks and Serbia hit wide to yield a 23-18 advantage for the Americans. Tom smacked a kill for a fourth straight point and set points at 24-18. Serbia saved two set points on consecutive errors before an attack error went long to conclude the set at 25-20. Akinradewo turned in seven points, while Hooker added five points. Scott-Arruda tallied four points as a sub in the set. The Americans totaled five blocks in the period.
Akinradewo and Hooker picked up kills and Hooker followed with a block to kick-start the Americans to a 3-0 advantage in the third set. Out of a Serbia timeout, Berg served an ace and Akinradewo followed with a block at 5-0. Hooker hit a cross-court winner for a sixth straight point to cap the run. Team USA's lead reached 9-1 with kills from Hooker, Larson and Akinradewo. Serbia scored back-to-back points to move within seven at 11-5. Tom hit a cross-court winner and Hooker put up a block around a Serbia error to reach the second technical timeout leading 16-7. Tom and Larson hammered back-to-back kills and Akinradewo teamed with Larson for a block to lift the margin to 19-8. Trailing 22-11, Serbia battled back to 23-15 on a 4-1 run. However, the U.S. sided out the rest of the way winning on a service error at 25-16.

I guess I'm kind of in "Back to School" mode lately. I can't help myself. When I was a kid I always LOVED getting ready for the school year to start. I didn't love starting school, mind you, just the preparations leading up to it. The school clothes shopping, new shoes and, my personal and very private obsession, new school supplies! Come on, you know you're with me!
Anywhoooo, I thought this cute little jumper from Anymore was the perfect first day of school outfit. I paired it with pieces (shirt, shoes, legwarmers, glasses and tights) from an older outfit I had in the back of my closet (would this constitute a BOCM? Maybe?) I love the texturing and shading on all of these items and I thought they complimented each other very well.
When looking for a perfect school setting, I had to do some extensive research. I mean, do you know how many school settings in SL are XXX? It's seriously unbelievable! A lot of reform schools in SL. Apparently. *coughs*
I finally found this beautiful sim called the Principality of Picklefish that had a tiny little schoolhouse, complete with a little mascot. Meet Bessie, isn't she darling?
Bessie and I became fast friends and she even posed for a shot with me. What a little cutie-patootie, huh? However, she did try and eat my smiley face button. We had words, she apologized and we're totally BFF's now.

Right, let me state right up front this isn't a WoW post, it's a post about hatred and my hatred of people that are depicted in this series that were in the best cases misguided to the point of hatred, but in the worst were hatred incarnate.
If you thought Australia's history was about convicts, the poor deported, you are wrong. the history is about the disposed.
To think that I was proud that my great-grandmother went and marked out a selection for my grandfather.
I know the truth now.
It wasn't his land.
When I was in South Africa I visited the Apartheid Museum and was disgusted, yet, I had no understanding of the atrocities committed in my "own" land.
I think this series is the 1st time I have seen Godwin's law invoked and it mean something, the argument isn't lost, it just strengthens the hypocrisy of the Australian people.
I was born in the year that the First Australians were first given some initial recognition, the right to be counted in a census. No I am not old, but it appears I live in a country that is still backward. (At the time, students from Sydney were fighting for the rights of American Blacks, until it was suggested they look closer to home)
Coming from an English/Irish ancestry, I struggle after watching the videos I link below, to honor the white fella blood in my son. It feels much better to honor the Indian blood, the Indian culture.
The stories are not pretty, they discuss the fate of the traditional owners of the land I call home, owners for some 40,000+ years that were disposed by people that have been here for little over 200 years. They discuss the stories of people, that for all that things have changed, really aren't in a significantly better position than they were 43 years ago, 100 years ago, 200 years ago.
The history depicted in these stories is not the history that I was taught at school and to be honest, I doubt it is taught now. Considering it took until 2 years ago for the Australian government to utter one simple word…
I doubt that even this current government has changed the "noble" white fella history taught in schools, to reveal the brutal black fella history.
The 3rd episode, Freedom for our lifetime, is set primarily in my state, and my city, in the very suburbs that I have lived in for all of my life. My land, My house, My home, is on their land. Taken long ago to be sure, yet still their land. To think we reduced the black fella's numbers in Victoria from 60,000+ to 300. Thank god they survived, against the odds, against the white fella's wishes.
Too many words of my own, when they can tell their tale better than I ever will.
Each episode is about an hour – so…
7 hours worth of hard viewing.
They can be downloaded onto you iPhones, iPods your whatevers.
I don't recommend them if you are in a poor emotional state.
I do recommend it if you are Australian, or care about atrocities that humans can commit in the name of civilization.

I found myself in this particular predicament last week. I wanted something sweet but didn't have the proper ingredients for a batch of cookies or brownies. (I also didn't have the motivation to spend the entire afternoon baking.) I remembered I had a sheet of frozen puff pastry leftover after making my Forelle Pear Tart, so that was a start. Then I remembered I had a pink grapefruit in the refrigerator that was begging to be eaten. The wheels in my brain started turning... Could I really create a tart with grapefruit?
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, defrosted according to package instructions
- 1 pink grapefruit, segmented
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons sugar, divided
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Place puff pastry on lined baking sheet. To prevent too much "puff," prick the pastry a few times with a fork.
- In a bowl, gently toss the grapefruit segments with the honey and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Taste and then add more honey or sugar if necessary.
- Crimp the edges of the pastry, then arrange the grapefruit segments on the puff pastry, making sure not to add too much extra juice. The extra juice will make the pastry soggy and the grapefruit will burn before the pastry has sufficiently baked.
- Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with the remaining sugar, and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes before cutting and serving.

James Franco is rumored to be the live action face of Kaneda in the live action Akira movie. Well, at least it's not Zac Efron.
Just Jared is reporting that ever since James Franco was selected to host the Oscars with Anne Hathaway, he just can't stop getting movie offers. And now he's allegedly getting courted to star in director Albert Hughes' Akira, as Kaneda. We're not sure what to make of this — we're a bit sad that Hollywood seemingly hasn't looked at a single Asian actor to star in the movie translation of Katsuhiro Otomo's work. Franco is a step up from Efron — and the PG-rated movie that would probably come with him. But is he the leader of the Neo-New York (changed for the film from Neo-Tokyo) motorcycle gang The Capsules? We're not sure.

"Impure World Reincarnation Technique: Release" (穢土転生の術・解, Edo Tensei no Jutsu: Kai) is chapter 589 of the original Naruto manga.
The five Kage look on in shock as Madara unleashes his Susanoo. After stabilising the construct, Tsunade questions whether her grandfather really fought against someone who was so much stronger than five Kage put together. Madara responds by saying that Hashirama was the only one who could defeat him and then states that it was a good thing that he wasn't here as the extent of damage to the surrounding landscape would be on a much smaller scale as he sends the Kage flying with one swing from his sword — destroying the mountain range behind him in the process. Realising his full power, Ōnoki questions whether or not Madara had gone easy on him and Mū in the past, to which Madara states that why an adult should fight seriously against children. As the Kage stand to face Madara nonetheless, Ōnoki then states that they would not back down now, causing Madara to resolve himself to crushing their beliefs. Elsewhere, Itachi then commands Kabuto to use the hand seals he had just stated to end the Impure World Reincarnation. Sasuke uses this time to state his resolve to Itachi and that he will destroy the village because of what it did to him before bidding farewell to Itachi. As the technique is released, the reincarnated shinobi from all-over the battlefield begin to deconstruct. Upon seeing this, a battered Naruto and B thanks Itachi and uses it as motivation to wrap things up with Tobi as well. Before being completely decommissioned, Itachi heads towards his little brother with his hand outstretched, stating that he could still make it.

Jamie Jungers, one of the women who claimed to have a relationship with golfer Tiger Woods, has insisted to news outlets that she was in no way a paid escort. But according to onetime madam Michelle Braun, that's not the case.
According to a recently obtained 1099 form, Jungers was part of a stable of escorts managed by Braun. Jungers' income, according to the form? $31,400.
That's not the only woman connected to Woods managed by Braun. Porn star Holly Sampson, who in a much-circulated video claimed to have an affair with Woods before he was married, also has a 1099 filed by Braun. According to that document, filed for the 2009 tax year, Braun paid Sampson $24,600.
U.S. & World
Many of Braun's clients booked escorts via email, but according to Braun, Woods booked "either by phone call or text." A source quite close to Braun says that Woods is just one of many recognizable names on her roster.
"If she went public with the whole list, people would be utterly shocked," said the source.
It's possible that Braun may end up discussing more of those names. According to text messages between the source and Braun, Braun is negotiating a $500,000 deal to give a tell-all interview.
Chris Brown irate over album treatment
Chris Brown's first new album since the singer pled guilty to a February assault of then-girlfriend Rihanna was released last week, but some retailers aren't carrying it.
Brown lashed out at those retailers that aren't stocking "Graffiti" via his Twitter feed, and he's not just angry at stores, he's angry at the industry as a whole.
Note: The following tweets are edited only in order to achieve a PG rating. All other spelling/syntax remains the same.
Brown began his tirade at 3:04 p.m., Dec 11, "im tired of this s***. major stores r blackballing my cd. not stockin the shelves and lying to costumers. what the f*** do i gotta do..."
He followed that up minutes later with "WTF... yeah i said it and i aint retracting s***."
At 3:12 p.m., he stated the obvious: "im not biting my tongue about s*** else... the industry can kiss my ass."
(At this point, Brown says he's sorry about the language: "for the young fans.. honestly, sorry for all the cursing…")
On Sunday, Brown visited a Walmart and had a look for himself: "JUST WAS AT WALMART IN wallingford CT,844 north colony.. the didnt even have my album in the back... not on shelves, saw for myself …
"the manager told me that when there are new releases its mandatory to put em on the shelves.. BUT NO SIGN OF #GRAFFITI . BS"
Reps for Wal-Mart weren't available at press time, but there was no announcement from retailers prior to the release saying they wouldn't stock Brown's new album.
Enchanting weekend box office
"The Princess and the Frog" won easily at the box office last weekend. The animated Disney flick made $25 million, beating previous box office darling, "The Blind Side," which made $15.4 million, and was No. 2.
"Invictus" was the other buzzy new release last weekend, and it was No. 3, with a $9 million take. Although no one expected huge numbers for the film, $9 million is a little flat for a picture that has a considerable amount of Oscar buzz, thanks to an incredible performance by Morgan Freeman, who plays Nelson Mandela.

Your Parents Were Wrong: How to Do Almost Anything With Your Anthropology Degree
These days, finding a great job with your college degree can be a challenge. This is especially true for those of us who have obtained, or are in the process of obtaining a degree in the social sciences. As a result, it is of the utmost importance that recent and potential college graduates take some time to review the knowledge, experience and skills they gained over their years of higher learning.
Of the many majors currently being offered in social sciences, Anthropology is perhaps the most stigmatized for having little relevance in today's job market. As globalization gradually overwhelms and consolidates the many distinct cultures carefully studied by anthropologists, direct opportunities for careers in the field of Anthropology are becoming few and far between.
Skills and Qualifications of an Anthropologist
While this may be an unfortunate turn of events for students who have learned to thrive in the field, now is an excellent time for budding anthropologists to evaluate what they've learned in order to start applying these skills and qualifications to related jobs or career paths. Like anyone who might be struggling on today's job market with a degree that many might falsely believe to be impractical, with a little creativity and critical thinking, finding the right career with a degree in Anthropology is more possible than one might assume.
1. Critical Thinking
Like many other majors in the social sciences, studying Anthropology is one of the greatest ways to develop critical thinking skills. Moreover, having a firm grounding in critical thinking is a big plus for employers that want to know that their employees can hit the ground running without much training or supervision.
2. Writing and Research
In addition to critical thinking, an Anthropology degree proves the mastery of one of the most important skill sets of the 21st century: writing and researching. As the world's information gradually becomes stored on the World Wide Web, having the capability to dredge through the enormous amount of information online and summarize it clearly and concisely are make or break career skills. With a background in Anthropology, graduates can prove to potential employers that they are prepared to filter large amounts of quality (and not-so quality) information into a well-written summary, report or presentation.
3. Cultural Awareness and Sensitivity
Perhaps one of the most distinct skills earned by student anthropologists is a rich cultural awareness and sensitivity – an increasingly important skill to have in today's world. As domestic businesses and professionals slowly adapt to the stress and demands of working with their foreign counterparts, students of anthropology can confidently tell employers that understanding cultural differences is their forte. Having this distinguished cultural skill set proves to employers that graduates in the field of Anthropology have a huge head start when it comes to dealing effectively with colleagues, partners and clients of various origins.
How to Land a Job with an Anthropology Degree
The skills outlined above are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the overall value of one's education in Anthropology. As students begin thinking about and crafting their cover letters, resumes and/or CVs to submit to potential employers, highlighting the above skills, as well as several others that may be relevant to the position is of prime importance. An excellent resource created by the College of New Jersey outlines several tips and strategies for Sociology and Anthropology majors who are looking to build the most effective resume for their career search.
1. Prepare a Resume and Network with a Diverse Group of Professionals
In conjunction with preparing a world-class cover letter and resume, networking with others both inside and outside of the field is also a great way to get ahead in today's job market. The sheer number of networking opportunities available to anthropologists via social networks is astounding, to say the least. Making connections with others and understanding how those connections can function in the best way possible is an anthropologist's key ability. This interdisciplinary blog on the social sciences showcases several helpful articles and resources to help anthropologists hone their affinity for social networking in the best possible way.
2. Research the Job Market to Find the Perfect Work Environment
Now that the preliminary stages of preparing the Anthropology major for the job market have been covered, knowing which jobs to pursue will require a bit more work. Of the many career options that are currently available, teaching and social services stand as two of the most popular career pathways for graduating anthropologists. In addition to these popular options, anthropologists have experienced tremendous success in government, law, media, marketing and art/artifact preservation, just to name a few. A resource published by Rasmussen College offers an extensive list of links to help Anthropology majors research and determine which career path is best for them.
3. Opt for an Advanced Degree
Many graduating anthropologists may decide to bypass the job route altogether and pursue a graduate or doctoral education in Anthropology, which is also a popular option for students who wish to remain squarely within the field. There certainly is no shortage of graduate programs in Anthropology offered by accredited institutions throughout the United States. Moreover, taking the grad school route gives students the opportunity to hone their knowledge in the field and begin presenting their own unique ideas in higher level academic forums, as well as publishing research articles for several prestigious journals.
Having the patience and know-how to navigate the tangled web of career opportunities for Anthropology majors is essential when planning to land a potentially life-long career after college. These decisions should not be taken lightly, and every Anthropology major should begin career planning well in advance of their graduation date. Internships and research assistantships are a great way to test your mettle in the field of Anthropology, and should be taken advantage of whenever possible. In the end, knowing where you fit in today's job market with a degree in Anthropology is a sure-fire way to land a great career in no time.

The natural and political history of the Everglades and development in South Florida is more than just a state or regional history. The drainage and over-development of the Everglades, the destruction of the region's fragile and unique ecosystems, and the loss of source water and other natural resources, are seen by many environmentalists as one of the worst ecological disasters in the nation's history.
Several historical collections in the P.K. Yonge Library of Florida History document the despoiling and development of the Everglades in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as well as early efforts by conservationists to preserve the natural resources of the Everglades. In fact, many of the people who were promoting the dredging of canals and drainage operations to "reclaim" Everglades land were simultaneously supporting conservation efforts. This parallel growth of both the conservation movement and development of South Florida continued in a dramatic fashion during the first two decades of the 20th century.
This exhibition features photographs, maps and other historical documents pertaining to the Everglades. The exhibit objects are displayed in four subjects: Exploration, Dredging, Development, and Conservation. In addition, the objects are arranged chronologically and listed by decade in a Timeline.

Hey guys,
I've decided to get real dreads. I recently took out my synth dreads and have started dreading my hair (only 7 so far!). I'm using a combination of the backcombing and the twist 'n' rip method (with palmrolling). I'm not using any products at all. I secure the roots with rubber bands to keep them separated because my hair is so damaged that hair around the roots can be around 3 inches long and I can't get it to dread up properly yet, so I just want to make sure that they won't merge together in the beginning, but I will be removing the rubber bands in a couple days, or once I finish dreading all my hair (I'm leaving out my fringe).
I've been doing some research on a few sites, but there seems to be a lot of controversy about the various methods for making and maintaining dreads. I was hoping that someone could clarify some of these controversies for me with as little bias as possible. I'm primarily concerned with the following questions:
1) How long do you have to wait before washing baby dreads?
2) How often can you wash baby dreads and for how long until you can do it every 2-3 days?
3) Are there any household products or anything I can easily buy to wash them with until I'm able to acquire proper dread shampoo? E.g. is clarifying shampoo ok, or will it also leave residue?
4) How soon can you dye baby dreads? I bleached my hair before starting to dread it, and was too impatient to wait to dye it again before starting to dread it! I want to get it to a more natural looking blonde, so I'm really quite concerned about this question!
5) What's the best method to attach synth dreads (not permanently) to the real dreads? I've heard about passing the SE loop through the root of the dread, then passing the SE through its own loop. Does that sit well on the head, or will a rubber band be necessary?
6) If the roots aren't backcombed enough (I simply cannot get them tightened enough on my own, have no one at all to help me and cannot afford professional help), is it a major problem, or can I fix the problem later on during maintenance?
7) Is it ok to attach synth dreads to baby dreads, or is it absolutely imperative that I wait until my dreads mature before attaching synths to some of them?
8) I'm paranoid about moisture remaining in the dreads too long after showering, especially since my hair is so damaged that its porosity retains more moisture than hair in better shape. I'm assuming it's ok to dry them since it's human hair, but will that make a difference during the baby dread stage?
This last question is more of a stylistic one:
9) The longest bits of my hair are about 4-5 inches past my shoulders (max). I have shorter bits at the top (and the lengths are generally all over the place). The SE synths I'll be using are about 24 inches long, and they look like double the length of my real hair. Do you think it will look absolutely ridiculous? xD
Thanks so much, and sorry for all the text! Cheers.
P.S.: Here's What my dreads look like so far (maybe you can see the root backcombing problem I mentioned earlier, with the shorter bits popping out). Any criticisms or pointers? Thanks!

Re: Need clarification on dreads, please! (pic)
Hellooo! Sorry to be bothering, but I'm about to go buy some box dye today, and I'd like a quick answer to question #4; I'm getting a bit paranoid! I have about 10 more dreads to make and I'm done. So I'd say the first ones are a few days old and the rest are from the day before, yesterday and today. Would it be incredibly stupid to dye them, or is there a chance that they will still hold together? Keep in mind that my hair is VERY damaged and knots easily. My hair is a very brassy yellow and I'd like to get rid of that color asap. Sorry for pestering, just anxious! Thanks again!

Perhaps in hindsight you hound have sorted the colour before dreading so the dye penetrated all of the hair. I would say dye whenever you want really but it may be patchy and need doing more than once. Make sure they are as oil free as possible first.

You're right, but my hair is in such bad shape that I decided to just go ahead and dread it.
Thank you, will do!

Initially, I kept my distance. I always felt cats didn't really do much of anything, which is why I've advocated electing them to the L.A. City Council. But this cat was different.
He soon proved his mettle by eliminating every bug in our place. He was a terrific hunter, sort of like Gov. Sarah Palin but without the baggage and large litter. He was also extremely bright. He eschewed cat toys, and I half expected to come home and find him sitting in front of a completed Rubik's Cube.
My admiration grew until I looked at him curled on my lap one night and realized I was having a bromance with a cat. I decided to try to formally adopt him.
While I was bonding with Cato (ostensibly after the character in the Green Hornet, but due to his being a houseguest I told visitors he was named for Kato Kaelin), my fiancée began sneezing. Not dainty sneezes, either; the last time I heard a sound like that the space shuttle Atlantis was reentering the atmosphere to land at Edwards Air Force Base. Picture Anderson Cooper reporting from New Orleans during a Category 5, and you'll have an idea of the velocity.
A skin test administered by an allergist revealed the fiancée is one of 8 million Americans allergic to cats. It turns out cat hair is among our most powerful allergens. The options included injection therapy (not 100% effective), taking preventive measures around the house and "removing the allergen source." We opted for B.
Following the doctor's dictums and, more important of course, anonymous information posted on the Internet, we bought an air purifier, kept Cato off the bed and applied a liquid "dander remover." I also spent the bulk of my waking hours vacuuming fur while questioning the meaning of life.
Unfortunately, the sneezing continued, and her nose was running faster than Usain Bolt. It was clear that unless she received regular shots that may not work, or lived inside some sort of sterile tent and became Bubble Girl, Cato had to go. I was struck by the abject incongruity of a society that can clone a cat but can't cure a cat allergy.
This time around, Cato's reputation in our circle made him a hot commodity. He spent the second half of summer on mancation with two guys in a Valley bachelor pad. Now reunited with his owner, for good we're told, he's adjusting nicely. Like many who are allergic to pets, we had to make a tough decision. It seems to have worked out. Aside from my pronounced Empty Nest Syndrome, everybody's healthy.

- This event has passed.
Mr. Burns, a Post-Electric Play
Event Description
The first act takes place shortly after an unspecified apocalyptic event. A group of survivors gather together and begin to attempt to recount the episode "Cape Feare" from the television show The Simpsons. The second act picks up with the same group seven years later, who have now formed a theatrical troupe that specializes in performing Simpsons episodes, with commercials and all. The final act is set 75 years in the future. The same episode of The Simpsons, now a familiar myth, has been reworked into a musical pageant, with the story, characters, and morals repurposed to fit the artistic and dramatic needs of a culture still reeling from destruction of civilization and the near-extinction of humanity decades earlier.
Tickets for the performances are $17.00 for adults, $12 for students and seniors, and $14 for Illinois State faculty and staff. Tickets can be purchased at the College of Fine Arts Box Office, located in the Center for the Performing Arts, from 11:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, or by calling (309) 438-2535. Tickets are also available through ticketmaster.com. Free parking is available in the School Street Parking deck for all performances.
If you will need special accommodations, please contact the event organizer.

Trade Winds Continue To Blow
A day does not go by without another rumour about the Toronto Raptors. It has to be difficult for the players and their families. That is a fact that often is lost in all of this thirst for change. But unless you name is Chris Bosh you have heard your name in some rumour if you are a Toronto Raptor. Even Nathan Jawai who has yet to play a game I saw in a trade rumour. But the latest and most loudest of the rumour mill has been talk that Bryan Colangelo has been shopping around Jermaine O'Neal and his big contract with all that cap space in 2010. Colangelo has only confirmed that he has no interest in trading Chris Bosh. It is not like he has done much to stop all of the talk about his players. It makes sense to let the rumour mill run wild if you are Colangelo. If he can build interest in players on this roster it can only help his chances of making a move. I personally am starting to think Colangelo is looking to make a major move. If he wanted to just do some minor tweaks you have to think he could have made a move by now. What is clear is with each passing day the expectation level of fan base for what Colangelo will do increases. The chances of people feeling that he has not done enough will increase as well.
But the challenge that faces Colangelo is a difficult one indeed. If you accept that the plan is to keep Chris Bosh in 2010. Which Colangelo has given ever indication that it is. He faces the difficult task of trying to improve this team and keep or restore the confidence of Bosh in him. But in doing that he may have to give away some of that massive amount of cap space he has been able to acquire. The majority of which lies in the contract of Jermaine O'Neal. The performance recently of Andrea Bargnani has left some to think the Raptors need to leave him as the starting center. But for that to happen Jermaine O'Neal would have to be put on the bench. This is not a good thing on any level. You can only expect that O'Neal would be less than happy about that. A drop in his performance and production would likely follow. This would all impact on his value as a player for the next season and a half. Now if a team is making the move just to get the cap space his contract and is not concerned with anything else that is not as big an issue. But that would mean he would need to go to a team that is not it the playoff hunt but still could be a reasonable option to attract free agents in 2010. That would likely eliminate a lot of Eastern Conference teams as there are still a lot of teams thinking they can make the playoffs in the Eastern Conference. Still would you really want to bash your brains out to make the playoffs only to have to try and beat the Celtics, Cavs or Magic in a 7 game series. Sure the Hawks took Celtics to 7 games and they did drop an overtime loss to the Bobcats and have struggled in recent days. But a better draft choice and a way to sell your fans that help is on the way in 2010. It is a nice way for a G.M to buy some time. These are the type of thoughts that could be going on for G.M's that might be considering taking on Jermaine O'Neal.
Is Bosh A Lock For The All Star Game?
It seems farily clear at this point that Chris Bosh will not be getting voted into the All-Star Game as a starter. So that will leave it in the hands of coaches in the league. Bosh has been well respected around the league and the fact he played so well for Team U.S.A doesn't hurt as well. That should have nothing to do with this but hey the coaches making the choices are all Americans and proud ones I am thinking. But with the Raptors less than impressive record will that cost Chris Bosh? I am thinking that it will not and Bosh will make it to the roster for the Eastern Conference. He is still one of the best at his position in the conference. I will say it will not be the slam dunk guarantee that it has been in the past. I think it will be something that will be interesting to watch. If Bosh some how got left on the sidelines how would he re-act to that? Hopefully we will not need to find out. I would think it would be a personal disappointment. That being said it is not as huge an event to Bosh as it might have been to a guy like Vince Carter who missed the All-Star Game last year for first time in a long time. Bosh would also get a rest if he was not in the game and it may not be a totally awful thing if he was able to relax for a bit. Although the Raptors do get an entire week off based on the schedule around the all-star game. They face the Spurs on the 11th and do not play again till the 18th taking on the Cavs. They are both games that are at home at the ACC. This could be a chance for Triano to get some of that much wanted practice time he has needed.
Almost Forgot
So that is about it for today. Oh yeah one last thing. I have kind of been having some fun about this on facebook. Chuck Swirsky is returning to Toronto next week but he will be coming to the Dino Nation Blog in the Starting 5 before that. I have not figured out the exact day that I am going to have that interview in the blog. But it has already been done and is all ready to roll. I just wanted to let some folks know about it and try to get a few more people aware of the blog. I mean it is how things work. Cabbie interviewed Kobe Bryant and that is not going to hit the air till February. I am looking forward to that. Maybe I can convince Cabbie to visit here and talk about it. I will see if I can. But for now it is the Dino Blogger one on one with the Swirsk. I think I can post him up and score. Well no it is not that one on one it is an interview. I am not sure how I'd fair in b-ball against Cabbie. We both are of the same body type. It would not be a classic contest by any means.
Update- Joey Graham will Start Tonight In Place Of Moon- Noon
Jamario Moon is heading back to Alabama to be at the birth of his child. That has Joey Graham getting the call to start in tonight's game against the Wizard's. News comes from Eric Smith of the Fan 590. So all of the Joey G fans will get a chance to see a lot more Joey against the Wizards. This makes a even shorter roster for the Raptors who are already without Jose Calderon, Jermaine O'Neal and Nathan Jawai who has yet to make his NBA debut as he works back into shape after being sidelined with heart concerns. Calderon has the bad hamstring and J.O the bruised knee.
While I am writing should give this a mention the latest trade rumour that has been floating around. Andrea Bargnani and Anthony Parker to the Mavs for Josh Howard and two other players. Hoopsworld claims this deal is close to happening.

"American planes, full of holes and wounded men and corpses took off backwards from an airfield in England. Over France, a few German fighter planes flew at them backwards, sucked bullets and shell fragments from some of the planes and crewmen. They did the same for wrecked American bombers on the ground, and those planes flew up backwards to join the formation.
"The formation flew backwards over a German city that was in flames. The bombers opened their bomb bay doors, exerted a miraculous magnetism which shrunk the fires, gathered them into cylindrical
steel containers, and lifted the containers into the bellies of the planes.
"When the bombers got back to their base, the steel cylinders were taken from the racks and shipped back to the United States of America, where factories were operating night and day, dismantling the cylinders, separating the dangerous contents into minerals….The minerals were them shipped to specialists in remote areas. It was their business to put them into the ground, to hide them cleverly, so they would never hurt anybody ever again.
"The American fliers turned in their uniforms, became high school kids."

Get your "A" with Asparagus
There are several fruits and vegetables that come into season in South Carolina during the month of April. Asparagus is a favorite of the LMC Dietitians!
A one cup serving (9 medium stalks) provides 30 calories, 3 g fiber, is low in sodium and fat free. It is a good source of potassium and provides approximately 30% of the recommended dietary allowances (RDA) for vitamin A.
Asparagus is very versatile as well. Once washed, prepare the stalks by bending them to snap off the tough part of the stalk. The stalks can also be peeled. Then asparagus can be easily steamed, roasted, or grilled. It makes a great addition to a salad, a pizza topping, or an elegant vegetable with any meal. Here's a recipe for roasting –
Roast Asparagus – 8 servings
2 pounds of Asparagus
Olive Oil
Fresh ground Pepper
Salt-free Seasoning of choice
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus and, if they're thick, peel them. Place the asparagus on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, then toss to coat the asparagus completely. Spread the asparagus in a single layer and sprinkle with seasonings to taste. Roast the asparagus for 25 minutes, until tender but still crisp.

Chicago Jobs
For those looking for the excitement of the big city with Mid-Western charm, Chicago is where you want to be. The third largest populated city, just behind Los Angeles and New York in size and presence, claims home to 29 Fortune 500 companies.
Chicago is famous for pizza, comedy, a lot of wind and most recently its presence in technology. Following the recession, Chicago was the third fastest growing job market for the technology sector. Each year The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign outputs hundreds of engineers and computer scientists, ranked as the 6th best engineering program in the country, according to the U.S. News & World Report. This local college offers companies a convenient pool of applicants.
A big plus for technology job seekers looking to make a move to Chicago is the cost of living. Chicago is more affordable than its main competitors, New York and San Francisco.
River North has quickly become the nexus of tech startups in Chicago. Yelp, only two years ago, had a satellite office in this area with only a handful of employees. Now, this division of the San Francisco-based review company employs over 300 and plans to add on more space to its 50,000 square foot office.
Motorola Solutions recently moved its headquarters from the suburbs of Illinois to downtown Chicago.
Braintree, a subsidiary of PayPal, is located in River North and has tripled their size in the last four years.
Publishing and printing are a big presence in the Windy City as well. The Tribune Media Company is a multi-media corporation located in Chicago and is the parent company to several subsidiaries. Here's a look at properties The Tribune Publishing Company owns:
- The Chicago Tribune
- Los Angeles Times
- Orlando Sentinel
- Sun-Sentinel
- The Baltimore Sun
- The Morning Call
- Hartford Courant
- The San Diego Union-Tribune
The Tribune Media Company owns 39 television stations across the country. Locally in Chicago, the Tribune Media Company owns WGN America, Chicagoland Television (CLTV) and the radio station WGN.
Chicago has a long history of hosting pioneering visionaries in the world of advertising and media. In 1898, Albert Lasker, considered the father of modern advertising, got his first gig at Lord & Thomas, which would later become Foote, Cone and Belding. The industry has a storied narrative since the turn of the century, providing the stomping grounds for such firms as Leo Burnett, who birthed the legendary icon Marlboro Man and the widely loved Pillsbury Doughboy.
Like the rest of entertainment, advertising has adapted to the growing demands for content in a variety of digital platforms. What once dominated advertising conference rooms: artfully designed images with cleverly crafted taglines are now computer screens outlining user experience and branded content. Chicago has jumped on the opportunity to stay ahead of the curve. The Windy City is home to over 600 agencies ranging from traditional advertising firms with digital divisions to experiential marketing companies. Here is a snapshot of firms in various sub-genres of the advertising sector, you might find yourself working for in Chicago:
- DDB, whose North American CEO Wendy Clark was just named on the 2016 "Executives to Watch" by Ad Age
- Ogilvy, labeled the most effective agency in the world according to Effie Worldwide
- Plan B, which offers an alternative to the big agency approach
- A5 Branding, committed to helping brand clients who believe in sustainable and green corporate practices
- BatesMeron, which prides itself on its brand research
- Cre8, a growing presence in the UX sector
- Straight North which focuses on B2B marketing
- Resolution Media, one of the largest performance marketing agencies in the world
- Mabbly, lauded in Fast Company for demystifying the PR world in the internet age
- Cramer-Kasselt (C-K) the second largest independent agency in the U.S.
Film and television is a developing sector to the Chicago area. Like so many states ahead of the curve, Illinois has jumped onto the tax incentive bandwagon and provided an allure to production companies that resulted in $330 million of film and television work in 2015. Last year, 291 projects shot in the state of Illinois, predominantly in Chicago, according to Chicago Business.
This year 10 scripted series will be filmed in Chicago, including a new thriller series starring Geena Davis called The Exorcist.
Dick Wolfe has made the city home for his growing Chicago-based procedurals, Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D., and Chicago Med. He may be adding Chicago Law to his NBC arsenal, a series that would also shoot in Chicago. A new Fox cop drama by David Slack, A.P.B., will also be shooting in the Windy City.
Fox's television superstar Empire shoots at the West Side Cinespace Complex, which has begun to attract more and more production talent.
Netflix shoots their Sci-Fi series Sense8, created by director-writer-siblings Lana and Andy Wachowski (The Matrix,) in Chicago. Sense8's second season premiered at the end of 2015.
More and more films are being shot on location here as filmmakers take advantage of the 30 percent tax rebate. Recently MovieMaker Magazine named Chicago the sixth-best city in the country to shoot in.
A recent example is Chi-Raq which Spike Lee shot in West Town, Chicago last year.
So if you're looking for a bustling city that's not quite as intense as New York, as expensive as San Francisco, or as sprawling as Los Angeles, Chicago may be the answer. And finding a job in entertainment to keep you there is more likely than it once was.

Is the following true ?
Every solvable transitive subgroup $G\subset\mathfrak{S}_p$ (the symmetric group on $p$ letters, where $p$ is a prime) contains a unique subgroup $C$ of order $p$ and is contained in the normaliser $N$ of $C$ in $\mathfrak{S}_p$. The quotient $G/C$ is cyclic of order dividing $p-1$. If $G$ is not cyclic, then it has exactly $p$ subgroups of index $p$.
I need such a result for an arithmetic application. A reference or a short argument will be appreciated.
Addendum. For those interested in the arithmetic application, see http://arxiv.org/abs/1005.2016

Greg Jamie - vocals, guitar
Gabe Darling - backing vocals, ukulele, guitar, banjo, piano
David Rogers-berry - drums, whoopin it up
Bob Pycior - fiddle, guitar, piano
The Ghost of Two Minutes Behind You - bass
Dan Sager - trombone, euphonium, keys
Five guys, maybe three shirts between them, take to the stage. There's a banjo, a fiddle, a drum set littered with gas cans, chains, and broken cymbals. Then they all start howling, stomping; it's an anachronistic jug band party in a junkyard with sing-along hooks and weathered vocals from another time. Their fans, an ever-expanding congregation, sing along and follow the band with an almost religious fervour, and as vocalist Greg Jamie's eyes roll back into his head there's a sense that something almost sinisterly spiritual has overtaken everyone in the room. This is the world of O'Death.
Originally formed in 2003 while the members attended SUNY Purchase, the band – Jamie on guitar and vocals, Gabe Darling on banjo, David Rogers-Berry on drums, Jesse Newman on bass, and Bob Pycior on fiddle – self-released their first album in 2004. They quickly took to the task of stirring up a wholly original scene of NY musicians with their reverently twisted take on Americana filtered through a wealth of musical influences as divergent as Bill Monroe, Prince, Dock Boggs, Neil Young, The Microphones and The Misfits via a series of shows at the now defunct Apocalypse Lounge.
As they gathered the songs for their second LP, Head Home, the band perfected their mesmerizing and riotous stage presence and took to turning their share of heads across the country, playing over 100 shows in 2006, and gracing the stage alongside acts including Battles, Dr. Dog, Art Brut, Langhorne Slim, The Big Sleep, and Old Time Relijun.

The night is dark, only a hint of moon, obscured by low cloud. but the enthusiasm of the crowd, many decorated with small lights on a variety of costumes, cannot be hidden.

Auckland is the commercial capital of New Zealand but anything to the North can be considered "Northland". Preferred destination for tourists and workers alike when surf, sand, diving and fishing is involved. It has a solid rural base of Dary, Beef and Sheep as well as horticulture and wineyards. Whangarei is the regional city on the way up to Cape Reinga at the northernmost tip of the island.

Story of a Medieval Town
According to the Outeiro da Assenta archaeological remains, humans have settled in Óbidos since at least the Lower Paleolithic period. Several million years and evolutionary leaps later, a Celtiberian castro (settlement) emerged. It would eventually become an important trading post for Phoenicians and later an important Roman military outpost. After the Islamic period came Afonso Henrique's conquest of the town in the 12th Century, followed by construction of the famous Óbidos Castle that is the local landmark. Ever since King Dinis offered the town as a wedding gift for his wife Isabel, Óbidos belonged to the Portuguese queens, right up until the 19th Century - this fact explains why so many architectural landmarks (such as the Aqueduct) were built. The 1755 earthquake and the Peninsular War in the early 19th century took their toll and led to renovations in the historic centre, but Óbidos has never lost its medieval town charm.

Reality TV is a powerful thing when you're on it for more than 10 minutes.
"I'm your biggest fan! I remember you from 'The Ultimate Fighter,'" one says.
"You're that crazy kid!" says another.
"Hey, you're that guy who used to fight in the UFC – here's an extra buck, man," a barfly tells Ed Herman.
It's 2009, and Herman has competed nine times in the UFC, fought tooth and nail to win the third season of the promotion's seminal reality show (before falling controversially short on points), and finished three of his opponents.
But after two blown ACLs, Herman is working as a bartender. He is a 29-year-old man working a job that was way more fun when he was in his early 20s. And he is seemingly frozen in amber to the millions of people who watched this fiery redhead try to win a six-figure contract with the UFC.
"Are you still fighting?" they ask.
"Well yeah, I'm still fighting," Herman told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio). "You didn't see my last couple of fights?"
Things get awkward.
One one hand, Herman, now 31, is happy to have had the opportunity to be seen on such a powerful platform. For a fight career, nothing could be better than weekly exposure, even if it consists of you monkeying around a house in Las Vegas with free booze. Better name recognition means better sponsors, seminar appearances, signings, and the like.
"You get fans that stick with you for a long time and have that emotional attachment," he said. "Especially if you have a decent personality and you're a good-looking guy, like myself."
It also means he's that guy on "TUF."
Herman is out of the bar now. He returned to the cage this past June and knocked Tim Credeur senseless. Then, he torqued Kyle Noke's heel for a tap-out at UFC on Versus 5. But he's apparently still fighting to free himself from the images burned into the heads of casual fans from that show.
It's hard to say where he stands as a draw. On Saturday, Herman (19-7 MMA, 6-5 UFC) fights the unheralded Clifford Starks (8-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) on the first bout of UFC's 143 pay-per-view main card, which takes place at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas. Starks has one fight to his UFC resume. He has a chance to bag a name, or Herman is adding a few seconds to his highlight reel for future use.
It's still work.
Pay-per-view costs money, and maybe Herman can't grow beyond his current role to those who watch the UFC on TV alone and maybe buy a few cards a year. You could say being known for something is better than being known for nothing, but the jump from the small screen to real life can suck. It gets tiring being known for an earlier version of yourself.
That first post-layoff victory put wind in his sails, and Herman said he's found his stride inside the octagon. You can surely see it in the two finishes he's put together since his time on the bench, which came after a rocky 1-3 stretch in the promotion.
Now, Herman just has to keep chipping away at the old him to replace it with the new.
"I feel like I've grown up a lot since then and proved to everybody that I deserve to be where I'm at," he said.
