German writer Ferdinand von Schirach bases his short-story collection on actual crimes. His tightly wound nuggets aren't for the squeamish. Case in point: a bit involving members of an eight-piece polka band accused of murder and hiding the body under their stage.
Available at amazon.com, $16.
Yeah, it's a young-adult novel. So? We're smitten with Daniel Handler's lighthearted story (with art by Maira Kalman) that plants you in the middle of a teen breakup. A girl dumps her guy by leaving him a box filled with mundane items collected over the course of their relationship. Ouch.
Available at amazon.com, $12.
So transfixing are the details about a simple Ohio town where tensions rise after a ghastly accident, we read Amelia Gray's moody little Gothic tale cover to cover one night. Even more compelling are the reflections on love and loss.
Available at amazon.com, $11.
Heidi Julavits takes you to places unknown (a.k.a. the afterlife) in her esoteric detective thriller. The story — about a student who locks horns with her mentor and is forced to reexamine her mother's suicide — jags through time and space. And gets darker, stranger, and funnier by the page.
Available at amazon.com, $15.
Chris Pavone mined his experience living abroad to imagine this page-turner about an American expat harboring a secret in Luxembourg. If we told you what happens when it all spirals into a case of international espionage, then we'd have to … you know.
Italian author Niccolò Ammaniti does a lot in 160 pages, including surprise, humor, and frighten you — sometimes simultaneously. The book follows a 14-year-old boy who sneaks away from his family for a week only to have his estranged sister crash his hideaway. How they learn to get along is the real crux of the story.
We wondered if Adam Levin could live up to the greatness of his 2010 book, The Instructions. He did. The author parcels ten eccentric and enthralling short stories in his follow-up release. Our favorite: "Relating," a collection of microsnippets about the way we interact.
Richard Mason's protagonist, the drop-dead gorgeous Piet Barol, charmed his way into the hearts of everyone he met in Amsterdam at the turn of the last century. As he sweet-talked his way around the city, ultimately landing as a tutor to a troubled boy, our heart swelled, too.
It's not all Do-si-dos and Tagalongs in Tupelo Hassman's eerily comic debut about a tough little cookie who pretends she's a Girl Scout to cope with the downtrodden trailer park she lives in. You have to admire a lass who makes a God's eye when the going gets rough.
Cristina Alger yanks you back to fall 2008 when New York City was in financial crisis. She expertly laces several stories together to show how a high-society family, attorneys, and journalists scramble to get to the bottom of scandal — or cover it up. Quick! Somebody buy the movie rights.
Available at amazon.com, $17.
We felt like a kid in a candy shop while reading Charlotte Silver's memoir about growing up in her mom's Harvard Square restaurant. She shows all the sweetness — baked cakes, candied violets, sparkling conversation — through the eyes of a child. It is a pleasure — and pain once she admits to her inner loneliness.
In the addictive, gritty novel, two kids from opposite sides of the tracks form an unlikely friendship. If you think you've read that plot before, not so fast. Author Amanda Coe adds struggling, dysfunctional adults, who emerge as far more than background characters, to the mix.
Available (March 19) at amazon.com, $16.
Growing up is tough. Just ask debut author Kris D'Agostino, who crafted a smart, funny novel about a disillusioned film school dropout forced to live at home with his knocked-up sister, overachieving older brother, ailing father, and in-debt mother. We wish every coming-of-age story was this mesmerizing.
Available (March 20) at amazon.com, $11.
Melanie Thorne shares a piece of her own personal history in her debut novel about a 14-year-old girl who gets separated from her sister because of her mother's rocky romance. The emotions are raw and, ultimately, inspiring.
Available (April 12) at amazon.com, $17.
Jenny Lawson reveals painfully hilarious personal stories on her blog, The Bloggess, but the most bizarre and embarrassing are reserved for her book debut. Whether she's talking about her mean pet turkey or exploits working in HR, she has us doubled over.
Available (April 17) at amazon.com, $14.

Oracle I personally make sure they put up a real picture, and fairly detailed profile questions. I have yet to have one of the spammers that leave a message in the comment box stating they saw my profile and want to be friends,LoL. Thankfully I only have had one incident, stated previously. I do agree that links and IP don't work too well the best way is to be diligent, when someone goes into a group and invites (make sure all your admin join each group),or sends messages of a invite to their friends list without permission, or leaves a comment of a invite these are all things that can be caught by Admins., activity list, feedjit etc...
Thank you, and I have been blessed with the fact of no spammers, for the exception of one. That one individual came to my site (when I first began my own sites), from a networking site, where that type of action is permitted. And that is also how I got into trouble, thinking that it was always permitted (until I learned otherwise). However, I told him that I would list a tab for his business venture, and it worked out better that way. He would spam all of his friends list, in which I would receive the message also.
If you belong to a Ning Networking site, then it is permissible, but for the site that I have now, it is not. That is why I give my members every chance they can, by featuring their links on their profile page (when they join, I ask them their URL address that they would like to share, and I feature it, and it appears under their profile picture as well as on their page), and when they join, I also join their sites, and add their badges to my Sister Site page. I find that many of my members join these featured sites, and I have absolutely no fear of losing them, because if they are really happy, they will not just stay on my site, but become a member and stay as a member on the new site as well.
My members know, that the sites that I have listed as Sister Sites (even some pagan sites), I am also a member of, and I tell them that if I am safe, then they are safe. If any negative actions occurs to me, then I remove the site from my Sister site page, because that same type of action, may occur with any of my members who join as well.
I have never lost a member, and I also gain members. It always works out for the best, for selfishness spreads disease.
I truly believe, that it will stop spamming, for they are allowed to list their sites and their badges, no matter if it is Ning or not (therefore, there is no need to send a message asking if you would like to join their site). If they do not have a badge, then I let them post banners on the Sister Site page (without a html code), which will slow down the network.
I find myself reading the links, and immediately wanting to join, just to see what the new member is doing, and what their site is all about. I actually enjoy it. It has been a true blessing. Even the sites that appear dark, have brought wonderful loving members to my site, in which I truly enjoy them, and since I do, their badges are also listed. That is why judgment and condemnation is not allowed on my site, and neither is drama, and all members are to read my Site Rules pages as well, stating such facts. I have a wonderful loving site, and it brings me joy daily, with smiles and giggles! :o)
As you know we tend to be a bit on the yin side of yang, but with love and we have a wonderful group of people which does the same for me, just fun and good discussions and meeting friends. I refuse to discuss names on here as I feel this is not professional or prudent but overall we have had very little issues for the size of my community.
Such a blessing.
I understand, that is why I did not join in the conversations of bashing. That is what brings down a site, and I will not allow it.
Many blessings unto you Persephone, and I will speak to you later.

Some Area Schools Do Show Disdain for the Pledge of Allegiance—I Have Seen It
In response to the recent concern over certain aspects of the recitation of The Pledge of Allegiance at Mill Creek Elementary School, Colin M. McGroarty deserves strong support for his commitment to patriotism and liberty.
In response to the recent news surrounding stipulations of student recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance at Mill Creek Elementary School in Geneva, I just have one question, "What is so wrong about teaching our children to respect the country they live in and to pay tribute to those who have sacrificed and fought earnestly for our liberties?" As a college graduate who is near completion of post-graduate studies in education leading to the acquisition of licensure in English and French, I have spent the past two years teaching and observing at several schools in the Western suburbs. From what I have witnessed as far as disdain for the pledge and complete disregard for patriotism and American values in numerous local schools, I firmly …

GREAT Easy to empty trash
By dawn

Comments about Trash Can Bands Set/3:
Keeps trash bags in basket so it makes it easy to fill up without pulling bag down. Also, easy to empty.

Works great. We use it on our collapsible garbage can when we are camping. Hold the bag secure. MUCH better than clothes pins. :)

Perfect solution for the problem!
By JMich418
from Abingdon, MD
I was getting so tired of garbage bags from falling into the trash can after I start to fill them. Didn't want to buy the expensive trash bags with elastic at the top. These are the perfect solution for this problem. Just wish they would last forever. Elastics do wear out eventually. Hopefully they won't break anytime soon!
Too big!
By Ladyshrink
from Washington, DC
These were far too large for the 13 gallon size trash can. Knotted it, which makes it usable, but less easy to get on and off.

Not Just For Garbage Bags!
By Ionakia
from Tucson, Az.
I purchased these thinking they would hold the bags you bring your groceries and etc. home in from the store. These are definately far too large for that use. However, I was in the process of moving and they came in very handy for holding boxes, dressers and such firmly closed. If you are looking and needing something strong for larger than grocery bags, these are terrific. I do wish they came in the smaller size, too!
By Cat lover
from Redding CA
I have liked and used these for years.
great bands

These hold the trash bags tightly in place, no more bag slippage.

Love these!
By Hillbilly Pat
from Kentucky
After having trash dumped on the yard or in the street when garbagemen emptied my 32 gallon cans I started putting lawn and leaf bags in them. I use these bands to anchor the bags to the can. I leave the bands on the trashcans, tie the bags once filled, and no more mess! The bands are already on the cans and ready to anchor my new bags. They also help me keep my cans clean.
By dj
from Newport, NC
This product is awesome! It keeps the bags from slipping down inside the can no mater what you place in the bag. I love it!
I would buy this product again!!!
By JaneN195711

Keeps bags from "falling" into waste-can. I have been looking for these bands for a long time - Thank You Walter Drake you have helped me keep my sanity in the kitchen!!!
Works as advertised
By Emily
from Florida
Works perfectly for holding grocery store bags in place without the edges folding in to the trash container. Much neater especially when bag is getting heavy or full and easy to remove.

worth it
By me
from CT
I got tired of the bags always falling into the trash can. these bands are great. even if you have a step top can, it works great
Strike up the Band!
By Discerning Shopper
from Arlington Heights, IL
I always had the garbage bag slide down into the can and garbage get all over the can. Now everything stays nice and clean. These bands are thick and sturdy and really stay put. They stretch easily and hold the bag great. I was so thrilled with this product I purchased another set and a set for each of my kids' homes. Great gadget.
I will buy this product again
By Ginny
from Nekoosa, Wisconsin
My husband is a truck driver and we looked for something to hold bags on his trash bucket in the truck. I found these and he loves them . I bought more for his christmas stocking.
Trash Bag Bands
By Syl
from San Antonio
These bands are the best for keeping your bags in place, they are very sturdy and well made. No more slipping down and having a mess.....
headache gone!
By buchy
from miami,fla
was having trouble with garbage staying in place wasn,t looking for anything at this time but just happen to be thumbing through catalog and there they was thanks for being in the right place at the right time
A great value for the money
By Sherri
from Crestwood, KY
I have a tall kitchen waste basket, and I cannot find bags tall enough to fit it well. The tops of the bags always want to fall over inside the waste basket. One of these bands holds the bag firmly in place so that I never have to make any adjustments to the bag until it's time to change it. I have been absolutely delighted with these bands. Sometimes the simplest products make a big difference.

The Hyundai Accent for 2013 sees the base GLS model with a manual transmission gain air conditioning, power side mirrors and a 6-speaker stereo with satellite radio and iPod/USB port. Remote keyless entry and heated side mirrors are standard on all trims, while the SE adds an available power sunroof.
The 2012 Hyundai Accent is completely updated from the model it replaces, boasting a new look, new engine and a host of standard and available features. Also, a new 5-door version joins the line-up.
Introduced in 1994, Korean-maker Hyundai's Accent led U.S. entry-level car sales from 2000-2005, mostly due to its value for the money and Hyundai's aggressive warrantydespite a reputation for somewhat questionable quality. Now that high fuel prices have this segment heating up, Hyundai's third-generation Accent will have tough new competition for 2007Korean partner Kia's Rio, Honda's Fit, Nissan's Versa, Toyota's Yaris and Chevrolet's (also Korean-built) upgraded Aveobut it still should be up to the task.

SBA Loans Following Sandy Exceed $1 Billion
The administration has made 16,800 loans since the hurricane hit New Jersey.
In just three months since Hurricane Sandy struck the East Coast, the U.S. Small Business Administration has approved more than $1.1 billion in disaster loans to residents and business owners affected by the storm.
According to a release from the SBA, approximately 16,700 individuals have received loans, making Sandy the country's third largest disaster in terms of loaned dollars. Currently, Sandy sits behind 2005's Hurricane Katrina and its $10.8 billion in SBA loans, and 1994's Northridge, Calif., earthquake, which totaled $4 billion in loans. Sandy, however, could supplant those disaster totals in the long run.
The SBA also announced recent emergency legislation in Congress that adds $799 million to the administration's disaster assistance program budget. According to a release, $520 million of that total is for disaster loan subsidy costs, which would support $5 billion in SBA disaster loans. Another $249 million will cover administrative costs. Remaining funding will be used for miscellaneous programs.
"Getting money into the hands of individuals and businesses in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy continues to be one of our top priorities," SBA Administrator Karen G. Mills said in a release. "My pledge to those affected by the hurricane is that SBA, working together with our local and federal partners, will help you rebuild. I am pleased Congress took the important step of appropriating much-needed funds to help us keep our promise."
SBA loans have been offered to Sandy victims who might have been ineligible for Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funding or for those who need more than was available from either FEMA or their insurance carriers. The administration advertises its loans as low-interest, though the rates fluctuate based on a number of factors, including credit rating and income.
Currently, SBA has 2,400 staff members supporting Sandy response in seven states — New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina — and Puerto Rico.
Sandy victims can still apply for an SBA loan. For more information about SBA's disaster loan program, visit www.sba.gov/sandy, or call the Disaster Customer Service Center at 1-800-659-2955.

Also, senior citizens should be aware that if they take out a reverse mortgage, they will not be able to afford the new flood insurance premiums, but they will be obligated to pay them.

"The administration advertises its loans as low-interest, though the rates fluctuate based on a number of factors, including credit rating and income." Yeah, the higher your credit rating and/or income, the higher your interest rate through the SBA. They actually punish financially responsible citizens. What a joke!!!

Unless you rent your second home, you will not be eligible for these loans. What a joke. This was told to me by the Fema rep at Lowes and by Stafford Twp.

FEMA advised me to apply. So I applied to SBA and was denied because my shore home of 30 yrs. is not my primary residence. I did not expect anything from FEMA but thought I would be able to obtain a loan. SBA says on their website that they are a non-discriminatory agency. I guess discriminating against people who own a second home does not count! This is a disgrace!
6:24 am on Tuesday, February 5, 2013
The SBA and also a FEMA employee told me that it is beneficial to have bad credit score and be denied for a loan by the SBA, as they would kick it back to FEMA who then may provide a grant. Or, as Yogi would say: "... it's like FEMA Mae , all over again."

TMD same type of issue. We lost a truck doing the storm. Its a 1999 truck with 172,000
worth maybe 4,000 -4,500 I was not expecting a new truck But I applied for Fema ( after calling my car insurance) to get help replacing my truck ( was flooded with salt water to the middle of the windows) with the funds to replace my truck I can tell you the countless people I could help with the type of construction & home repairs I can do. after our denial letter we where informed that we could apply for a loan,,, REALLY A LOAN I never in 30 years had a loan on a vehicle. If I cant afford it I don't buy it. It seems that like any Gvmt. asst It help those who are the least responsible .I pay my car insurance I pay taxes & cant get 4,000$ Iam sure between my wife & I we have well exsisted 4,000 in our lifetime of working & paying

This is a GREAT Facebook page. It's full of information and proves that the economic impact of the new FEMA regulations and the willingness of the once great State of New Jersey and the municipalities that don't don't fight for their constituencies will destroy the shore..The ramifications will affect all citizens, not just those directly affected:

Romney Goes Bold: Pro-Life Catholic Paul Ryan Chosen as Republican Vice Presidential Candidate
The social doctrine offers principles to help us order our economies. It does not propose any particular economic theory. It insists that every economic order be at the service of the human person, human freedom, human flourishing and the family
I just returned from the Romney/Ryan campaign event in Norfolk, Virginia. The crowd was massive, enthusiastic and hopeful. I don't know what I expected - but what I experienced far exceeded those expectations. Mitt Romney's bold choice of Paul Ryan as his running mate ensures that an exchange of correspondence between the Cardinal of New York and the Republican Vice Presidential nominee will now become a part of framing the issues in what promises to be one of the most important Presidential contests in U.S. history. The principles of Catholic Social Teaching and their application have now entered the 2012 campaign.
Mitt Romney in Norfolk, Virginia introducing Congressman Paul Ryan as his running mate
NORFOLK, VA. (Catholic Online) - I just returned from the Romney/Ryan campaign event in Norfolk, Virginia. My first experience was complete surprise! The crowd was massive, enthusiastic and hopeful. I don't know what I expected - but what I experienced far exceeded those expectations.
When Presidential candidate Mitt Romney approached the podium and began to speak, he was warm, sincere, comfortable and confident. In fact, he was, "presidential" in his demeanor. He was introduced by the Governor of Virginia, Bob McDonnell, whose gifts continue to mature in office. I could not help but think that I was listening to Governor McDonnell that I was listening to the next Attorney General of the United States - if Mitt Romney is elected to the presidency in November.
However, it was Romney's introduction of his Vice Presidential selection which wowed the crowd. Here is an excerpt from his remarks: "Today we take another step forward in helping restore the promise of America. As we move forward in this campaign and on to help lead the nation to better days, it is an honor to announce my running mate and the next Vice President of the United States: Paul Ryan."
"Paul Ryan is a leader. His leadership begins with character and values. And Paul is a man of tremendous character, shaped in large part by his early life. Paul's father died when he was in high school. That forced him to grow up earlier than any young man should. But Paul did, with the help of his devoted mother, his brothers and sister, and a supportive community. And as he did, he internalized the virtues and hard-working ethic of the Midwest..."
"He does not demonize his opponents. He understands that honorable people can have honest differences. And he appeals to the better angels of our nature. There are a lot of people in the other party who might disagree with Paul Ryan; I don't know of anyone who doesn't respect his character and judgment."
"Paul is in public life for all the right reasons - not to advance his personal ambitions but to advance the ideals of freedom and justice; and to increase opportunity and prosperity to people of every class and faith, every age and ethnic background. A faithful Catholic, Paul believes in the worth and dignity of every human life. With energy and vision, Paul Ryan has become an intellectual leader of the Republican Party. He understands the fiscal challenges facing America: our exploding deficits and crushing debt - and the fiscal catastrophe that awaits us if we don't change course..."
Governor Romney ended with these words, "Today is a good day for America. And there are better days ahead. Join me in welcoming the next Vice President of the United States - Paul Ryan" and the massive crowd exploded in uproarious and sustained applause. That, I also did not expect.
As my readers know, I supported the candidacy of a friend whom I still believe would be a great President, Rick Santorum. However, when he withdrew from the race, I made clear in my writing that I would do everything I can to keep the current president from winning reelection.
That is because I believe that President Obama is the most Anti-Life President we have ever had. In addition, his hostility toward the Church is increasingly evident. Finally, I believe his policies have been a massive failure on almost every front.
I once again write this article as a private citizen. I am expressing my own personal opinion.
I believe Mitt Romney is correct in his assessment of this gifted man. He is a talented public servant, a truly good family man, a faithful, genuinely Pro-Life Catholic and, as I found out today, much, much more. This man is a tremendous communicator. I have never heard him speak in public and I was truly impressed.
When Governor Romney called Congressman Ryan up to the podium, he mistakenly referred to him as "the next President of the United States". He quickly returned to correct the gaffe. However, as Congressman Ryan spoke, I actually wondered if the mistake may someday prove to have been accurate. Ryan's sincerity, down to earth demeanor, warmth and believability reminded me of a young Ronald Reagan. This man is a gifted communicator.
The first decision made by the 2012 Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney,choosing Paul Ryan as his running mate, was bold and brilliant. I know there are many who will disagree with me.
The spin has already begun, even in Catholic circles. Part of that spin will be to attempt to argue that Paul Ryan, as a Catholic, does not support the social doctrine of his own Church. I contend that assessment is inaccurate. Clearly, he is unquestionably Pro-Life and Pro-Marriage and family. He is also a strong defender of the first freedom, religious freedom.
The argument with Paul Ryan will come over his economic positions. I simply ...

Vance, Jo Ann & Rob, Indeed, you are all right. I especially liked Vances' keen observation of Rob "looking through a Socialist's Prism". And Jo Ann's diplomacy on Globalization. Rob, I enjoy your appraisal through the "Socialist's Prism"...(I like that term, can't you tell? no deragog intended). But I must say, you do come through quite clearly, when you See through the King's Prism as well. Praise the King...

Rob, interesting response to JoAnn, What you told her is correct about companies and stocks. I'm surprised how you view companies through a socialist prism. I am very familiar with the aircraft industry. They hire and layoff workers by the thousands like the ebb and flow of a tide. The workers of Boeing and MacDonnell-Douglas understood the nature of the business. Large contracts come in, so they hire thousands of people to fill the contracts. When the contracts are filled and fewer coming in, they layoff people. One year, two years down the road, the companies will get more contracts and hire back the workers. This is the nature of all businesses. They are there to produce products and provide services and "Make Money". They are not social programs. Companies can not afford to keep a person on board to sit around and do nothing. Yes, cost of labor is a companies largest expense but the EPA under Obama has become an even larger expense. When the EPA imposes unnecessary regulations on a business, it will cost the company many thousands if not millions to comply with the standards. If business is slow as it is today, it's more cost effective to relocate the plant in Ireland or China than to go out of business. It seems that Obama and the EPA could care less about the workers as they impose these business killing regulations.

Rob: That wasn't the globalization I was talking about. Believe me, when what I.m talking about happens, (and we are almost there) no one is going to like it. If Obama gets in for a 2nd term, he will relinquish this nation's sovereignty to the UN. Prepare everybody. God bless.

JoAnn, because I have been a corporate tax professional and in the corporate environment for awhile, I've come to know a few things. What drives the public company today is a concept known as shareholder value. A company will do whatever it can to ensure the stock holders are happy. This is a stark difference from what was taught to me graduate school where companies had steakholders of equal importance (stockholders, employees & creditors). Today employees are valued no more than copier machines. When the stock falls and they need to cut expenses, they go to employees, and they think nothing of buying and selling companies that continually displace workers. Having worked on several large M&A deals, I can assure you that no one is sitting around trying to come up with ways not to displace workers. It's just the cost of doing business these days. Outsourcing jobs has become second nature for manufacturing concerns because there is no conceivable way we can compete with the wages paid in China and India and South America. Many of which are below our minimum wage.
I will agree with you that we should work to ensure our regulatory climate is conducive to business growth in this country. Trust me when I say it's not the EPA driving businesses out but labor costs. Is the EPA an added costs, sure, but it's not the drive. And taxes are easily planned around. With a big enough lobbying effort, the effective tax rate is driven down. As we've become obsessed with stock value, we've done whatever possible to increase that value. Outsourcing is just part of the play book now. They aren't making some bold statement against our regulatory environment, but doing it strictly for the bottom line for the benefit of the shareholders. Everything else is a distant second on that list.
If I owned a company in today's environment where I am beholden to shareholders who care little about the business you actually run, you are right, I would probably outsource. But we wouldn't be sitting around the board room bemoaning the EPA or taxes, the accountants would be telling us how much $$ we are going to save on labor moving our operations to some third world country, never mind that oftentimes these countries represent everything we do not stand for.
Just as surely as our country's moral decay is destroying this nation, so is our love of money. Those who own the nations wealth care little about how they earn it, so long as they do. If that means they inadvertantly strengthen our enemies, so be it. We expect no patriotism from our businesses. You speak of globilization, business achieved that decades ago. -

JoAnn, "Freedom or Free Stuff" You hit the nail on the head. you and I have been around for a while and have witnessed the Party of Death "Buying" votes with taxpayer money. This shows how evil these people are. They play off people's Greed when they promise something for nothing. The Death Party plays off people's Envy when they pitch the old "Class Warfare" and play off people's Hate while they play the "Race Card". The latest Obama pitch is playing off people's Sloth with more Food Stamps and Welfare. He allowed everyone and anyone who "Claims" to be disabled to collect Disability Benefits. The Death Party is one group of insidious folks. Keep up the great posts. God bless.

Rob, Jo Ann & Buster: Enjoyed reading your dialogue! Glad to have you on board Buster! Also read your comments To debbie. Very Good. Rob and Jo Ann, I think many agree with you about more jobs in the US of A. BAD MOVE to be indebted to China and no jobs at home! We are indeed going "Global". Last Christmas, our Entire family decided to buy gifts that were USA made only. Well, it was SOOOOO HARD, that not everyone could comply! And I understood, because I had the same problem. Our shopping took FOREVER...in a manner of speaking of course, and yes, even we could not comply with all on Santa's List. It is darn hard to find articles made in the US. It is a crime!

Rob: Creating jobs in China is what Obama is famous for. I agree, our free market industry has to come back to America. But they have to have the environment here to make it worth while to come back. Overburdening regulations and high taxes is not the way to do it. We all know China is cheating by manipulating the dollar and cheap labor. If you owned a company, you would do the same thing. Don't tell me you wouldn't because I wouldn't believe you. I would do the same. After all, being in business is for the profit, right.? You have to admit Obama has made it very undesirable for companies to expand. He is putting them out of business. For him to say that the private sector is doing just fine means that he is either very naive when it comes to business policies or he is an out and out liar. Have you read Agenda 21 yet? If not, please do so. You will be enlightened to where this nation/world is headed if we don't try and stop it. If you are for globalization, that's your right. I am not. I know, eventually, that will happen because prophecy says so. I look at it this way. If Romney wins, God has given us a reprieve and we better not blow it. If Obama wins, God has had enough and we had better get ready for a very bumpy, ugly ride. Everyone should be praying to our Blessed Mother and St. Michael and pleading with God for mercy, because when there is a global government, global religion and global healthcare (yes, Obamacare and all social medicine throughtout the world will be one) it is not going to be very pleasant living anywhere. We were at the mercy of private health insurance before. Are you telling me you were getting inadequate health care? God bless.

JoAnn, if you do not have medical insurance you are in the same boat. You can't get that done in an ER visit. And once those problems creep up, good luck trying to get insured. Once ACA is repealed this person will be at the complete mercy of the private insurance market.
I think we need to really put America first. We need to stop sending all our work overseas so people can actually find jobs so the need for "free stuff" as you put it is no longer necessary. We need an investor class in this country that shows some modicum of patriotism for this country. If we have any hope of fixing our broken social programs, we'd better start leaning on our so called job creators. Creating jobs in China is not what we should be encouraging companies to do. -

Freedom or "free stuff?" Choose. You can only pick one. People who choose freedom are Patriots - people who choose free stuff are Socialists. And to the Socialists, I would like to remind you that there is no such thing as "free stuff." Whoever, gives you the "free stuff" is also the "whoever" that can take your "free stuff" away. Socialism is a euphemism for communisim. Communism will not give medical care to anyone, if it will be too costly to the "collective." I have, or should I say had a friend, who lived in Europe, I will not say what country, She was in need of a heart transplant. They put her on a "waiting list." There is nothing wrong with that as everyone in need of a transplant will always have to wait a while for that type of treatment. BUT because of her age (65), younger patients were always treated first. Needless to say, she never got that transplant and she is now with the Lord. This is the type of government and healthcare that Obama's "hope & change" is all about. Is that what we want for this country? God bless.

KLR 650 Fork oil

I use 10w fork oil set at 170 mm in my KLR650 forks. I have Progressive Suspension fork springs in the bike and the front end is about as good as it can get. I'm happy as it gives me better braking, good feedback and handles both on and off road quite well.

What year KLR do you have. Will the 170 mm work in a 2008?

I changed the entire setup. Stiffer Cogent Dynamic springs combined with Intiminators with 5w fork oil. Will NOT go back to stock. The improvements are wonderful no matter if it's rock gardens at 10 mph, sudden wash-outs at 40 mph, or carving an undulating curve at 75.
I'm not sure changing the weight is going to do much good. You could try changing the volume in the fork tube...or, adding some air pressure to the forks (the "book" says not to, but, the fork tubes themselves have instructions on how much air can be added).

I have klr 650 c (1995). Is my fork identical to a klr650A?
And should I use any 10w20 (like semisintetic) oil or there is some special oil for forks? How much mililitars should i put in? tnx
Posted 07 March 2012 - 05:07 PM
Posted 07 March 2012 - 05:24 PM
5w because it''l pass through the stock dampening rod holes pretty much with little effect letting the emulator do the work. If I enlarged the holes I could use heavier oil.
Posted 08 March 2012 - 11:43 AM
older bikes had oil at either 170 or 190 depending (slight change in about 96). What works the best on Gen one bikes is oil at 165-175. I stick with 10 wt (ATF). 5-15 psi air to trim.
I've done dozens of forks at tech days, NONE had even the minimum unless the owner did the work. I've done many new bikes that were 50-75cc low per leg, one was 200cc low just to get to 190. Proper oil makes a huge difference. Add a fork brace & it's pretty good.
If you want to spend more money, get the Ricor valves... they are fantastic. I mix ATF and Marvel Mystery Oil 50/50 to get 5wt they require. Stock springs are fine.

I have an '06 bought a few months ago and I don't know if anythings been done. PO didn't know jack, but he only had it a few hunnert miles and it must have scared him. Runs good.
Fork oil leaked out of the drain screw a bit ago. Looked like nice clean ATF. Tightened it, stopped leak. Now I need to drain/fill. Better springs and valves are in the plan if I keep her. I'm 200# dry. What say you on fill level and any oil recommendations for the '06?
Many thanks.
Posted 08 March 2012 - 09:00 PM
I'm simple with the klr, I just max the rear spring out then tune the front air to balance the suspension f to r.
Posted 09 March 2012 - 01:11 PM
On the 06..... collapse forks, remove springs, fill to 165-170mm from the top. Top with 10psi air. Consider a fork brace, but don't waste money on different springs, go straight to the Ricors.
obviously, the forks need a good cleaning inside too

I'm 200 lbs and plan to load this bike up with some armor, tools, gear for multi-day adventures into the Idaho deserts and mountains, and possibly a passeger from time to time. The KLX250 was set up stock for a 150 lb rider. I put proper springs in first and the difference was huge. Then installed gold valves and it was nothing short of amazing compared to the stock setup. I've heard great reports for both the Ricor and Race Tech valve setups and am not yet convinced that one is better than the other. Lots of opinions out there. Like I've heard from a number of riders to avoid the fork brace if I'll be riding off road, rough trails, which I will be. What I want from this bike is a good, solid trail machine that can cruise 75 on the highway when needed. Not as trail worthy and a lot more pavement worthy than the KLX.

I've heard the prejduce about fork brace off road.... I don't understand why anyone would make such statements on the KLR 650
Posted 10 March 2012 - 12:20 PM
About the fork brace, I don't know why they say it. I'd like to be able to try both with and without.

Hey, at least she's honest.

Sounds like a great use for a cane!
I think I like Mr. Balenz. A lot.
funny and some bad luck, but not as crazy as most of your patients!
That gentleman has a fine mind. I never knew how much potential a cane has until I had to start using one. It gets you a seat in the subway, drives away all suspicious wallet stealers, gives you the first place when in line. Also it brings down to you everything that is high to reach. Too bad Mr. Balenz fell but I bet you that cat came out of the rose bushes in a hurry...
Well if the thorns weren't doing the trick - what made him think shaking a bush would do any better?
That cat probably looked like a Cheshire when he slipped :( and the guy only has one life - he should be more careful with it.
Wow you actually have a patient that is honest in their responses!

This week on Why It's Worth a Watch Wednesday, Tiffany and I talk some more legal drama, with her take on the last surviving member of the Law and Order franchise, and my views on the much newer Harry's Law.
For you regular readers, you'll recall last week that I confessed an unexplained love for legal TV shows. It would stand to reason that I would be excited about a new addition to my list.
Harriet Korn (Kathy Bates), or "Harry", was a successful patent lawyer. That is, until she loses her drive and is fired when her boss finds her watching cartoons and smoking pot in her office. Shortly after this, a man trying to commit suicide jumps off a building and lands on her. She survives, only to be hit by a car right after being released from the hospital.
Um. Okay.
It gets better. The guy who hits her, Adam (Nate Corddry) happens to be a young lawyer who thinks she is amazing and wants to work for her. So, of course, it only makes sense then the two lawyers, along with Harry's former assistant Jenna (Brittany Snow) go into business together. They set up shop in a high end shoe store in the ghetto.
Yes. For reals.
So, here is the thing about David E. Kelley, the show's creator. He knows how to write and he knows law, having had a practice in Boston. This isn't the first time he's combined his talents, not by a long shot. L.A. Law, The Practice, Ally McBeal, The Practice, not to mention non-legal drama like Doogie Howser, Chicago Hope and Boston Public.
Kelley often writes quirky, if not odd characters, doing it so well that you find yourself willing to go along for an unrealistic ride. I'm not hating on that fact. As a matter of fact, Boston Legal is currently sitting in my DVD player (and not just for James Spader and Craig Bierko). I can't recall a closing argument delivered in Boston Legal, no matter how silly the case, that I wasn't pulled in by the witty, heartfelt delivery.
Harry's Law, however, seems to have gone just a bit too far into ridiculous territory. As I mentioned the lawyer sets up shop in a shoe store, which just happens to still have a stockroom full of designer shows. Jenna the assistant sees no reason why they shouldn't sell shoes and be a law practice. Well, Jenna, maybe because that sounds dumb. What purpose does this serve beyond quirk?
Don't get me wrong, there are some watch worthy moments, with the comedic timing of Nate Corddry and the talents of Kathy Bates. However, even a Bates-delivered closing argument, while heartfelt and even moving, seems to be missing the wit of Kelley's past shows.
For that reason, I can only give Harry's Law a JFTV. I will still tune in, because Kelley's undeniable style is present, and I hope the show tightens up. It's okay to be quirky, silly, and perhaps unbelievable, but it still needs to be witty and smart.
What do you think of David E. Kelley's latest legal dramedy? Are you generally a Kelley fan? What's your favorite past Kelley production?
Now, for more opinions on the law, or at least the law on TV, check out Tiffany's take on Law and Order: SVU.
Come back next week when we switch over to FOX and review two supernatural programs – the new hit, Terra Nova, and the returning favorite, Fringe.
Remember to stop by the #watchwed hashtag in Twitter to discuss any of today's reviews, or to mention any television programs that you'd like to see on Why It's Worth a Watch Wednesday in the future. We're currently working on our September schedule and would love to chat with you!
A Recap of The WatchWed Review System:
GTV (Gourmet TV): Everything we want and more
MacTV (MacNCheese TV): Guilty pleasure. Not perfect, but is satisfies
JFTV (Junk food TV): It's not great for us, but we'll go back for seconds
SSTV (Still Simmering TV): It has potential, but the jury is still out
NIV (Nyquil Induced Viewing): Perfect for that late night television sleep timer
LOTV (Liver&Onions TV): Do we really have to explain? Blech

Don't really follow much anymore but that's one of the most stacked cards that they've put on.
I never really thought much of Belfort,but he still poses a threat.Anderson Silva has never fought someone with the speed,power and accuracy of Vitor.I think as long as he's disciplined and doesn't get cocky,Silva should beat him.

The face off at the weigh in...What was that mask all about?? I don't think Belfort was expecting that. Silva is a strange dude..
Anderson looks up for this fight, he doesn't normaly show aggression. Is he worried? He looked abit drained in the face to me, I could be wrong.

Belfort is past his best but is dangerous this fight is made for Anderson could be a stand up war.
Bader vs Jones is going be a good fight hard to call that one.

this is a must read about the fight..
Ive seen many posts and buss regarding "what is going on between Anderson Silva and Vitor", so I decided to share with you guys what is going on. I have some pieces of the puzzles you guys dont have, notably, the access to portuguese language, forums and the exposure to the brazilian media. I also happen to know a lot of the background situation in the camps and witnessing how fighters acted/said/behaved during a relativelly large time frame. So when you guys look at Anderson and dont "get it", but you feel that there is "something going on". Every human being is sensitive enough to know that there is "something going on". IF YOU WANT TO KNOW/CARE "WHAT IS GOING ON", and feel that this might increase the satisfaction from watching the fight and its consequences afterwards, this is the topic.
Back in UFC Brazil, when Vitor Belfort knocked out Wand, Anderson still trained with Chute Boxe.
At that time, Chute Boxe had many prospects and Anderson wasnt even named. This is back into 1998.
Anderson first fight was in 2000, on Mecca I. Anderson got accepted on Chute Boxe after two amateur Vale Tudo fights.
Vitor Belfort's fight with Wanderlei Silva was in 1998. Two years before Anderson Silva even came to Chute Boxe.
At the time Anderson Silva came to Chute Boxe, there were already fighters with more "prestige" in the team. Obviously, he wasnt the focus.
This video shows the Chute Boxe camp back into 1998, right after UFC Brasil event. They interview many fighters, they talk a lot of their better prospects, show them training, etc... You can see many famous names there, its all about the Chute Boxe roots. If you pay close atention you can see Anderson Silva training in the back a few times.
YouTube - Chute Boxe no Passando a Guarda em 1998
Anderson was nobody. He was just an outsider at that point. He still hadnt learned how to use his reach with Pele, and just started to learn Muay Thai.
At the end of that video, you saw Wanderlei talking about Belfort and you can see/hear it: "Its not going to remain this way, Im going to get revenge, this is not over yet, I have a lot more to show"
Chute Boxe rivalries with other camps were legendary. Their mentality was akin to military.
Vitor Belfort won the belt in 1997 at 19 years old. He was the phenomn and his popularity skyrocketed. Vitor Belfort influenced a generation, he was on the media 10 times more than any other brazilian fighter. His popularity was unanimous. Everybody wanted to be like Vitor Belfort, train jiu jitsu, and hit the weights. Vitor was marketed as a golden boy, a golden mine. He came from an above average wealth family, in Brazil you could easily put him in the minorities. He had everything, he was young, pretty, famous, godly phisique, the champion. Nothing compared to him.
Then when his sister disappeared, he got even more media attention, it became a national known drama happening live, he appeared on main television station from often making appeals for information on his sister. People empathised with him. You can find his appearances on Brazilian national television on youtube, hundreds of them.
Other fighters just appeared on closed televisions, or publishing magazines, but not Vitor Belfort. People admired him and some were jealous of him.
After he defeated Wanderlei Silva, a really bad blood started against Belfort from Chute Boxe, whenever they talked about him. At that point, everybody in the gym were subject to abstract the hate against Belfort, but that is just the start of it.
Many years later, after Chute Boxe started to crack, with many fighters leaving, Belfort went to train with CHute Boxe. At that time, Wand had just moved to US and was near the fighter with Chuck Liddel, he made his website and posted a serious of videos of him talking about everything that was happening on his life, showing his house and about other fighters and the general MMA scene, on the subject of "Vitor Belfort training with Chute Boxe, he commented "Vitor training with Chute Boxe??? Vitor, who saw you back then huh? And who see you know... people wouldnt believe it. Those video blogs might still be in Wand website or youtube. This goes to show the severity of the rivalry.
It was something UNTHINKABLE to Vitor Belfort train with Chute Boxe. YouTube - Vitor Belfort treina na Chute Boxe
Vitor was and remained an enemy for a long time.
Some people dont understand this "enemy" mentality. I will put it briefly... in Brazil there are many good fighters and they have to fight against themselfs and only the best have a chance to go to US or Japan. There was a thick bootleneck for brazilian fighters untill not long ago. Having the opportunity to fight on US and Japan meant a lot, it still mean a lot, because winning in Brazil doesnt count, you couldnt and still cant make money here. This is slightly changing, but its subject to another topic.
Anderson Silva was never the favorite puppy of Chute Boxe, its was an incredible camp and there he was just an average guy, a begginer, people were doing him a favour in letting him train there. He had to work on Macdonalds, serving a lot of rich kids, or playboys with their fancy clothes and arrogant behaviour, always looking down on him because he is black. Prejudice in the south states of Brazil is STRONG. He wasnt just black, he was poor, he was just another nobody with a very strong sense of self. He trained unbelievably hard, he did his best and still he didnt saw a light, an opportunity. He wasnt satisfied with the situation. Its subject to another topic as well, but just to say it briefly Rudimar Fedrigo, the head leader of Chute Boxe was a very dictator/autoritarian/shady guy, he did what he had to do and didnt asked people oppinion, he didnt let other people judge his decisions, he was keeping the power to himself all the time, thats how he went in history from all the fighters that left, the Fedrigo wasnt straight enough to lead/manage them.
On Chute Box, Anderson won a few fights on a minor event in Curitiba, got a contract to fight on Shooto in Japan, after winning Shooto he got opportunity to fight on Pride and after he lost to Daiju Takase on Pride, UFC offered a contract to him wich was denied by Fedrigo for shady reasons (to keep with the shady deals he had with the Japanese, in UFC, Anderson would get paid directly in his name, but in Japan, who got the money was Rudimar and the fighters didnt even know what they were signing, so in order to keep that strong rule over the money and fighters Rudimar denied the opportunity of Andersons life at the time), Anderson discovered that and got pissed... not long after, him and many other fighters started to question the way Rudimar Fedrigo did things, a considerable group of Chute Boxe fighters were unsatisfied and left. This is also on the news on the net, the names of the fighters who left, the reasons they left, etc.
Anderson's path was rough, he had to bounce into minor events in Brazil. Differently from Vitor Belfort, wich was on "Casa dos Artistas 2" (like a big brother for famous people in Brazil), where he was very popular, where he started dating Joana Prado (the playboy record seller in Brazil, the hottest and most desired woman by far at the time). Belfort had everything, money, famous, prestige, was in the big events, had the woman everybody was talking about and sharing the playboys and Anderson' life was pure shit.
You see, where Vitor had a craddle, was trained by Carlson Gracie, got straight into big events, won it very young, and lost only to Randy, got mislead into going to Pride where he lost to Sakuraba (who at the time was rampaging over people) and then back to UFC, he lost to Chuck Liddel, wich at the time was also rampaging over people.
It was only right after winning the belt of the light heavyweight of the UFC over Randy Couture that his sister got kidnapped, and from there on, everything went downhill for him, 5 loses in 7 fights. But on the otherside, ironically this skyrocketed Vitor Belforts popularity again on the media, but this time even the housewifes knew who he was and what Vale Tudo was. (Yeah, in Brazil they use famous people drama in their lifes to sell, and Vitor used the media trying to find his sister).
It was only in 2007 that the drama of his sister disappearance started to get settled. What happened basically is that they dont know for sure, one woman confessed, but in Brazil, woman end up confessing crimes of a bunch of men to protect them and stuff, so it does not proved anything and nothing happened, the mistery didnt got solved, but during this time or right after, they got an anonymous lead/information that felt very detailed/solid that his sister had been kidnapped, saw the faces of the kidnappers and end up killed, the actual story of how it all went is very sadistic and traumatic and its not the point of the thread, but knowing this was enough for him to get a closure on the episode, he could find peace, that was important to him. But in the meantime... Anderson' lifes started to change as well, he was already kicking Rich Franklin ass for the second time, solidifying his position as the champion, and even before that we already started hearing being hyped as the P4P best fighter in the world.
Anderson's life changed drastically, in the US he was a big name, but in Brazil, nobody knew him. It was all about Vitor, Vitor, Vitor. He was already tired of hearing of Vitor. When he trained with Vitor, he schooled him, he dominated him. And Vitor is a guy that usually outclasses people in training, Vitor is a beast in training, but when he sparred with Anderson, he was schooled. Vitor striking sucked in comparison, he knew it right away. Anderson felt a mix of pitty for him, but also jealousy of him, because he was so much better than Vitor how come he wasnt getting as much credit as Vitor. The whole Brazilian media is on Anderson mind since then. Everytime you hear about Vitor Belfort, its like nobody on the media knows that there is a guy named Anderson Silva that is considered outside as the best pound for pound.
Anderson goes to the press conferences and get buttered/licked by everyone and then he goes to Brazil he has to watch Vitor Belfort being praised, receiving all the attention. People like Vitor, Vitor is popular in Brazil, like I said, he defined a generation, he performed oral sex on Joana Prado's feet live on television for millions of people, every guy is jealous of him.
You have to understand Andersons point of view. In his mind, he is a better fighter than Vitor Belfort (and he is, there is no doubt about it), but Vitor Belfort is the guy that had everything. Anderson thinks Vitor does not deserve the praise/attention on the media, in fact, thats pisses him off. How come "I am not the center?" "How come I am not in his place?". In the time Vitor trained with Anderson, he still havent found a closure for his sister problem and Anderson let goes of his initial negative feelings towards Belfort and empathized with him, because in his eyes Vitor was weakened. Anderson felt very good for being able to "help" a guy like Belfort, he felt good about Belfort shitty situation and felt like "its a wounded animal, let me help you". But it wasnt sincere. It was like someone rejoicing unconsciously because from his standpoint, the tabbles had turned.
Vitor on the other hand, didnt even thought about that, not even realized what was going on with Anderson and his point of view. Vitor kept to himself, Vitor didnt bowed down to Anderson's helping hand. Its not that he tried to look tought either. Its just that Vitor didnt gave a shit about Anderson from the beggining. Vitor never aknowledged Anderson like Anderson wanted too. This frustrated Anderson. Vitor was always a protagonist kind of guy, he is alone, leader of himself, no allegiance to noone, alpha male kind of thing. Not because he tries to be like that to impress other people, its just that in his eyes/point of view, he simply KNOWS of his potential. He KNOWS what he can do, how superior he is. Off course he respects Anderson, but its in a formal way. "Yeah, he is very good", but its not like bowns down in a way that puts him in an inferior position. "This guy is very good, but if he stands in my way he is going to get it".
Vitor didnt actually betrayed Anderson. Anderson never did anything for Vitor. Vitor never aknowledged him. Vitor treated him just like another dude. Whenever Vitor got the media spotlight, he would always keep it for himself, not the kind of guy who would go out of his way to praise other people like Anderson would go to talk about Minotauro.
Everywhere Vitor goes, he goes to improve himself. He doesnt go to help other people. If other people get helped, good, but he doesnt feel like he owns them more than what he actually gives them by his presence at the time they trained. This is hard for a lot of people to understand in Brazil. Vitor takes it in an informal "Im a professional" way. Whereas other people want more than that.
At this point you have to understand Anderson's point of view. He was already a top fighter in 2003, he already knew inside himself of his potential. He had 3 years of Chute Box top training/sparring and some could say he was in his peak since then.
At this point, after not being able to stand Rudimar, he sees himself forced to leave and start over, ending up finding events to fight in the ass of the world in Brazil, felt very depressed, felt like quitting. It was at the point of his life that a guy like Nogueira cames and save the day. Nogueira did it to Anderson, and many many other fighters and he still does it. He gave Anderson his hand, he took him under his wing, he taught him jiu jitsu straight from the source (Nogueira is like 3rd/4th generation from Brazilian Top Team). The jiujitsu he had learned on Chute Boxe couldnt compare. Anderson Striking was already top, and he started to get a ground game to go with it.
At this point Nogueira wasnt at Brazilian Top Team and Anderson wasnt on Chute Boxe, so one could say it was their "marriage" that started to melt the rivalries (despite Anderson having fought Luis Azeredo in 2001).
Basically, you have to understand the history, the ups and downs, how everything went, what was their situation at the time.
Vitor has nothing against Anderson, he doesnt care about Anderson.
Where Anderson feels strongly against Vitor, it has nothing to do with "Betrayal" from the time they trained together. Its only in Anderson's view that just training a few times together would hinder a fight. At a certain point, when Anderson found himself, and Vitor was there in the shit, that Anderson felt superior thus he could somehow accept consider Vitor a pet or something. Because everything was right on his life, he thinks that that status quo should remain, like him being the champion of his weight class and his happy friends supporting him in the middle.
So when Belfort gets out of the shit, near 2007, gets momentum and finally reach his door, he feels like "How dare you to challenge me?"
Vitor nomad/protagonist/professional way of being clashes with Anderson "me and my boys are gonna rule this" mentality. Vitor was never his boy. "Vitor was never my friend". It means Vitor never aknowledged/bowed down to him even when Vitor was on the shit and he was on the top.
But thats only Anderson way of seing things. Vitor being the number 1 on Brazil media, while Anderson despite being praised left and right as the P4P being completelly shadowed by Belfort (Anderson popularity/appearances on media started to increase here since his last 2-3 fights, but still nowhere near Belfort). So to Anderson, another thing that pisses him off, is knowing that he is better fighter than Vitor, yet he does not get the credit he thinks he deserve in comparison with Vitor. Another thing relates to how always Vitor was on the spotlight and had the easy road, good family, money, in any way you can evaluate Vitor, the guy had everything and Anderson is the type of person that does get jealous. Deep inside Anderson he knows where he came from, what he had to do to get where he is, and he didnt had anything Vitor had. To Anderson, he is more deserving. He cant stand Vitor having all those things, the media praise and still comming to CHALLENGE HIM, trying to take his glory, etc.
Anderson is like "Im going to kill you. Im going to put you in your place. Im going to show the world who is the one who deserves the praise." Its the opportunity of his life, because Vitor Belfort brings to the bet tabble the glory/media in Brazil. If Anderson defeats Vitor, he will have to be seen as a superior fighter, he will have to get the edge, top attention. Something he still does not have.
Something he wants badly. And losing to Belfort will be worse than losing to anybody else, because Belfort is everything he ressents from other people, based on the things he didnt had, the life he lead, his difficulties, etc. Vitor, on the otherside is completelly oblivious of Anderson's feelings. He is like "What is Andersons problem, he seems so angry... weird.. I dont get it."
Off course Anderson wont say these things openly to the media. What he trully feels like I just said. He tries hard to be "cool" (like Belfort), trying to downplay the importance of this fight to himself, trying to make it look like just another fight. He creates a mask, to hide his hideous emotions/feelings, to hide that he is insecure. To try not to look pathetic, ridiculous, with low motivations, but inside, he just is like that. He will probably devastate Vitor like you never seen before. Its like "payback time motherfucker". If he can embarass and humiliate Belfort worse than he did to Maia, he will. Its one of these fights that only if Anderson wins, he will be able to get over Belfort (Because he is again in a position of superiority) and will still roleplay hard that "its just another fight and he just did his job and try to give a show to the fans". But deep inside he will be grinning, because he was victorious atlast.
Im just a dude following MMA on the internet that couldnt stand seing people so clueless about what is going on. This fight has major motivations and historic proportions, most of you americans, or people who are not following MMA for long, and had no access to the info only brazilians have from forums (and posts from people who train, and stuff that dont get on the vent), or people who have no ability to logically correlate facts or understand behaviours and psychology. Thats why Im giving this information, because knowing this will help you savour the fight and analyse the aparently unexplainable behaviour of Anderson/Vitor. But make no mistake, its very personal, its not another fight.
edit: since first post got to big, I had to split it, since the first one is awaiting moderation I decided to post the continuation in another topic. If any mod read this before approving the first, please put both together.

Great article bud01, IQ. Well worth the time to read.
The article makes things a little clearer. The resentment that Anderson holds over Belfort certainly came to surfice in the weigh-in.
I hope I can find a stream for the main event.... The two normally reliable sites that I view sporting events on have been taken down by authorities.

Thanks Bud01, the quality looks great so far.... Thanks.
Torres not looking great, getting booed, disappointing fight. Conservative fight by Torres and his opponent didn't show any ambition. Not a great advertisement for the newly promoted bantamweight division or the lower weights in general.

What a front kick...Never seen one like that before, it came from nowhere.

I physically cringed at that, what a picture perfect kick!

Anderson Silva is a freak.
Belfort in my opinion should have taken a page out of Chael Sonen in pressuring Silva right from the start. Anytime you play a waiting game against Silva your just going to get the shorter end of the stick ALWAYS.
Jon Jones is for REAL..
That was a scary performance. Bader is an excellent wrestler, yet he was reduced to having a puncher's chance. He fought like he was scared
Shogun though is a different animal.

hahaha Brilliant Gif 7777..
I wonder if anyone had the balls to ask Belfort what Silva's feet smell like??

hi, i just finished building a 2x12 diagonal cab as an extention for my vox ad30vt amp its loud but lacks major punch as its only a 30w, dnt get me wrong it sounds brilliant for a practice amp but i was thinking about building my own valve amp head around 100w something along the lines of a bugera 6262, marshall jcm2000 dsl100, mesa boogie dual rectifier. i was wondering if anyone could help me with this project, advice on valves what type/ how many, what difference it makes to the sound etc, circuit diagrams, websites to purchase parts from anything that mite be of help. i play a lot of trivium, parkway drive, as i lay dying, all that remains etc and the cab has 2 12" celestion g12t-75's in it and is wired up as an 8ohm cab at 150w.
