Five Quick Rounds 01.22.13: Bellator Debuts on Spike, UFC Returns to Brazil, and More!
Posted by
Wyatt Beougher
on 01.22.2013
From Bellator's impressive debut on Spike and the UFC's return to Brazil to Vitor Belfort making a fool of himself, 411's Wyatt Beougher covers these topics and more in this week's Five Quick Rounds!
Welcome to the penultimate edition of
Five Quick Rounds
, 411's fastest-finishing weekly opinion column. I'm your host, Wyatt Beougher, and this will be the next-to-last installment of 5QR that I author, as my schedule won't permit me to continue with this column, host Fact or Fiction, and cover
The Ultimate Fighter
now that it has moved to Tuesday nights. However, I am going to get back to my Championship Rounds column, although it'll likely only be a monthly deal. At any rate, this was a pretty significant week for MMA, so let's get to the action, shall we?
Round 1: Bellator Makes Spike Debut
Bellator 85 took place this past Thursday night, and, for the first time in the promotion's history, they aired on SpikeTV. The long-standing relationship between Spike and the UFC came to an end at the end of 2011, but Spike retained the rights to rebroadcast UFC events until the first of this year in spite of purchasing a stake in Bellator. With the UFC deal now completely dead, Spike is able to begin airing Bellator on their network (instead of just on their website), and they loaded the card with two title fights. In the opener, featherweight champion Pat Curran successfully defended his title against Patricio Freire, edging the challenger out to earn a split decision win. In light heavyweight quarterfinal action, Mikhail Zayats picked up the TKO win over Renato Sobral with just 11 seconds left in the first round. Lightweight champion Michael Chandler defeated challenger Rick Hawn with ease, winning the first round with excellent ground striking and then he came out in the second and softened Hawn up with more ground and pound before locking in a rear naked choke for the win in 3:07. The other light heavyweight quarterfinal fight saw Jacob Noe get the TKO win over Seth Petruzelli with some serious hammerfists.
Normally I wouldn't put a Bellator show ahead of a UFC show, but this was their SpikeTV debut, it was (IMO) a better show, and I think when we look back on this week at the end of the year, the Bellator show is going to be more historically significant. Not only did it feature two title fights, but the show averaged 938,000 viewers, which is a 394% increase from last season's debut on MTV2 and Epix. The Curran/Freire fight that opened the show drew the peak ratings, with an estimated 1.2 million viewers, but, in what has to be considered a troubling trend for Bellator and Spike, the ratings decreased as the show went on, especially during the twelve-minute overrun that occurred after midnight. At this point, I'm not sure that it's a huge issue yet, as the ratings fall-off wasn't all that great, but if Bellator's ratings continue to improve while
Impact Wrestling's continue to stagnate, I wouldn't be surprised if Bellator becomes the lead-in show. In unfortunate news for Bellator, both Michael Chandler and Pat Curran have been given 180 day suspensions, Chandler for a potentially broken foot and Curran for a potentially broken toe. If I'm not mistaken, both guys can be cleared earlier than that by negative X-rays, but that's still a potentially huge blow to Bellator's forward momentum, especially since Curran already has two additional challengers for his title in the works in the form of Daniel Straus and the winner of next month's Shahbulat Shamhalaev/Rad Martinez season seven featherweight final fight.
Round 2: UFC Returns to Brazil
On Saturday night, the UFC returned to Brazil for UFC on FX 7, in spite of an official investigation by the Sao Paolo DA's office regarding the city's sponsorship of the event. The main card started off with an impressive showing by Khabib Nurmagomedov, who needed just 1:55 to drop Thiago Tavares with an uppercut and pound him out with punches and elbows on the ground. The action continued with Gabriel Gonzaga and Ben Rothwell fighting nearly even for one round before Gonzaga locked in a standing guillotine and pulled guard to get the submission at 1:01 of round 2. CB Dollaway and Daniel Sarafian earned fight of the night honors for their three-round contest that saw Dollaway pick up a split decision win, and in the main event, Michael Bisping looked well on his way to a bout with Anderson Silva in the first round before getting blasted by a head kick from Vitor Belfort and then being pounded out.
As usual with these FX affairs, if you went in with low enough expectations (and with Ben Rothwell on the main card, how couldn't you?), this show was a pleasant surprise. Only one fight went to a decision, and it was actually a really solid contest. And while I was hoping Bisping and Belfort would pull a double Randleman, I absolutely won't complain about the Count getting his head kicked off of his shoulders. I'd like to pretend Belfort's post-fight interview didn't happen, but I can't, so about that...
Round 3: Vitor Belfort Is an Idiot
After earning a decisive victory over Michael Bisping on Saturday night in a fight that likely would've been enough to earn Bisping a title opportunity against Anderson Silva had he won, it really shouldn't have been all that surprising to hear Vitor Belfort call out the champ. Belfort didn't call out Silva, though; he directed his post-fight interview towards inserting himself into Chael Sonnen's main event spot at UFC 159, a fight that will be for Jon Jones' middleweight title. To the surprise of absolutely no one, Sonnen didn't take kindly to being called a clown, and he responded that he'd be happy to arrange a meeting between Belfort and Jesus, whom Belfort had credited for his win moments before running down Sonnen.
Admittedly, I can't stand Vitor Belfort and the repeated undeserved title opportunities that he's received since returning to the UFC. With such a brutal loss to Anderson Silva just two years and five fights ago, Belfort couldn't realistically call out the middleweight champion after his win over Bisping, but calling out Jones made even less sense. Not only is Jones already booked for a fight while Silva is not, Belfort lost to Jones IN HIS LAST FIGHT BEFORE THE BISPING FIGHT. And it's not like it was a close, split-decision loss either - Jones handily won the first three rounds before submitting Belfort with a keylock less than a minute into the fourth. And for Bisping to talk about Sonnen "cutting the line" - apparently he missed the part where Sonnen was the only one to volunteer to take Dan Henderson's place against Jones at UFC 151 on less than a week's notice. Jones turned down the fight, opting instead to fight Belfort, who had done absolutely nothing to earn that fight and thereby cutting the line, at UFC 152. No, Chael Sonnen doesn't deserve the fight with Jones, but if there's one man less deserving of the fight than Chael, it's Belfort, and I look forward to Sonnen's eventual victory over Belfort sometime this summer or fall.
Round 4: UFC to Make Return to Sweden
The UFC announced late last week that it would be making its return to Sweden on April 6, 2013, running a show from the Ericsson Globe Arena in Stockholm. Sweden native Alexander Gustafsson will headline the show, taking on fellow European Gegard Mousasi in the latter's UFC debut.
As the UFC looks to continue to expand their global reach, it only makes sense to highlight fighters in their home countries (or, in Mousasi's case, their home continents). With Gustafsson being widely discussed as a future contender to Jon Jones, but Jones himself tied up with Chael Sonnen and then likely the winner of the Dan Henderson/Lyoto Machida fight, it only makes sense to pit Gustafsson against the best light heavyweight Strikeforce has to offer. Still, though, there are a great many variables that'll come into play with this fight - is Gustafsson as good as billed? Which Mousasi will show up - the dominant former light heavyweight champion or the fighter who struggled with Keith Jardine and had absolutely nothing for King Mo? If Gustafsson is a legitimate threat to Jones' title, and Mousasi comes to fight, this could be a fight of the year type fight. If not, it could be an absolutely brutal fight to watch.
Round 5: Brazil Establishes Regulatory Committee; Joins IMMAF
Last Thursday, the International Mixed Martial Arts Federation, the European-founded organization created with the goal of creating a unified international standard for MMA regulations and furthering the growth of MMA, announced that they were welcoming the Commisao Atletica Brasileira de MMA (CABMMA) into the fold. CABMMA will initially be based in Rio de Janeiro, but they plan to expand to Sao Paolo, Bahia, and Amazonas this year. As part of the IMMAF's charter to provide a solid foundation for growth, they will partner with CABMMA to hold a national summit in Rio de Janeiro in June.
When I previously covered the IMMAF last year upon their founding, I opined that this was a huge step forward for MMA, as creating a unified governing body to standardize rules and regulations, drug testing protocol, and further improve fighter safety (especially in amateur bouts) can only have a positive effect on the sport's future. Again, though, I have the same fear that I voiced then - if the organization gets too big without set protocols in place, it runs the risk of corruption so prevalent in FIFA. So far, though, less than a year into their existence, the IMMAF seems to be doing everything right and I sincerely hope that that trend continues.

If you liked reading Mad Magazine as a kid, you'll probably have the right sense of humor for the Onion Book of Known Knowledge. Although some of the humor falls flat, most of it is whacky and fun. Some of it is brilliant. I'm not sure how many people would read this from beginning to end like I did, but some of the entries are pure gold. I give it a B plus.

(CNS) The Los Angeles City Council voted today to ban the possession of large-capacity ammunition magazines within the city, despite threats from gun rights groups that they would sue.
Councilman Mitchell Englander said before the 11-0 vote that the action will not take guns away from their owners. "This is taking away high-capacity magazines," he said.
The sale and transfer of high-capacity clips is a crime in California, but people can still legally own them. The proposed ordinance -- which must still be approved by the mayor -- would declare the clips a public nuisance and allow police in Los Angeles to confiscate them.
"It's an issue of an antiquated loophole in which you can possess it, but you can't manufacture it, you can't sell it, you can't distribute them, but you can own them," Englander said. "It just doesn't make a lot of sense.
"What it boils down to is the intent of high-capacity magazines and the destruction they can cause and do cause," he said.
"We aren't doing anything extreme," said Councilman Dennis Zine.
Councilman Paul Krekorian first proposed the ban in February, in the wake of the Newtown, Conn., elementary school shooting massacre. A gunman wielding a high-capacity assault weapon killed 26 people, most of them children, last December.
Zine, a former police officer, last week called the proposed law "reasonable."
"Ten rounds is enough to protect your business and family," he said. "You don't need to have 30 rounds, or 40 rounds."
Gun rights lawyers sent a letter to the City Council this week saying they would sue if such a law were approved.
"If the city passes the firearm magazine ban, we absolutely intend to sue the city for numerous violations of civil rights and law," CalGuns Foundation Executive Brandon Combs told City News Service.
He also contends the City Council has no authority to ban magazines and may be pre-empted by state law from doing so.
Also today, the council voted 11-0 in favor of digitizing records of firearm sales and transfers, which would eliminate the need for police employees to travel to gun stores and shooting ranges to pick up hard-copy documents.

Azurite Hue 5oz Tube, GOLDEN Historical Heavy Body Acrylic
Golden Historical Acrylic - Azurite HueAn inexpensive greenish blue, Azurite was the most important pigment in European painting during the Middle Ages and Renaissance until Prussian Blue replaced it in the 18th century. A natural mineral found in many parts of the world in the upper oxidized portions of copper ore deposits; it is often compared to the green pigment Malachite because of its chemical composition. Weaker and less intense than many of the blues we have today, this blend of Phthalo Blue Red Shade, Zinc White and a touch of Raw Umber is also let down with gel to create an interesting color mixture. It creates an earth color blue that doesn't overpower other colors.

Steve Pardue is one of the better-known college football scouts in Georgia — less than two months after being hired by Kentucky.
Pardue is easily recognizable in the state's inner circle of high school coaches because he was part of it for so long.
Pardue resigned in November after 17 years as LaGrange High's coach. After unexpectedly landing his first college job as an SEC assistant a month later, Pardue got another surprise when he started to travel across the state to recruit players for Kentucky.
"I was thinking about that the other day," Pardue said with a laugh. "I've been to about 25-30 high schools in Georgia [during the recent recruiting period] and the funny thing is that I have yet to meet a new coach. Everywhere I've been, I've known the head coach.
"And I didn't pick the schools, Kentucky's [recruiting staff] did. It has just worked out that way. I've known every head coach at every high school I've gone to so far."
Pardue's looming presence in Georgia was a main attraction with Kentucky's job offer. He led LaGrange to the state playoffs in 14 of 17 seasons, winning three state championships. If Pardue didn't meet an opposing coach during the season, he likely chatted with him at passing leagues or coaching clinics. He also was heavily involved with Georgia Athletic Coaches Association (GACA).
Recruiting Georgia's fertile grounds is one of the top priorities for Kentucky coach Joker Phillips, and he figured that Pardue knew them as well as anybody. It also helped that Pardue was born and reared in Kentucky.
"One thing that I wanted to do is hire someone that could recruit the southern part of Georgia and also had some Kentucky ties," Phillips told reporters. "Coach Pardue has been [with the GACA] for a number of years and was a perfect fit for what we were looking for. We think that Georgia is really important for us, and we wanted to branch out [in recruiting the state]."
Coaching legend Conrad Nix, who retired from Northside-Warner Robins after the 2009 season, praised the hiring, adding that it likely will lead to more Georgia prospects having the opportunity to play at an SEC school. Nix said Pardue is well aware of both the high caliber and depth of talent in Georgia, as compared to surrounding states.
Camden County coach Jeff Herron, who says he can't remember the last time Kentucky recruited one of his players, applauded the Wildcats for the personnel decision. "Steve knows the state, and he knows the coaches," Herron said. "He knows where the players are and where they aren't."
Relationships are a critical part of the recruiting process, and Pardue already has that — at least with most of the state's coaches.
"Absolutely it makes a difference when you know you can trust a coach recruiting your players," Herron said. "It will help a school like ours, because I'm familiar with Steve and he's familiar with me. It's a good situation."
Pardue said one of the job perks has been visiting with his old coaching buddies again in recent weeks. Because of the long-time friendships, both sides are direct and honest with player evaluations.
"If Jeff Herron or another coach tells me that they feel a guy can play in the SEC, then I listen to them," Pardue said. "Because I know they know what a great player looks like, and I know they won't tell me if they don't believe it."
With Kentucky putting the finishing touches on this year's recruiting class, Pardue has focused on acquiring a wealth of inside information on the state's future prospects. However, he made a favorable impression in a short time with two Georgia senior tailbacks committed to Kentucky, Grady High's Marcus Caffey and Whitewater High's Josh Clemons. Pardue, who coaches Kentucky's running backs, and Phillips made in-home visits with both high-profile recruits last week.
"I really like Coach Pardue — he said he has a lot to come in and learn [at the collegiate level], just like me," Clemons said. "Hopefully, we can grow together and get this thing rolling."
When Pardue stepped down as LaGrange's coach after last season, he did it simply because he "needed a change and the timing was right." Pardue didn't have much time to think about his next career move, which could have included athletic administration or working for the school system in another capacity, before Kentucky approached.
"I decided it was the chance of a lifetime, and if I was ever going to coach in college, now was the time," Pardue said. "Honestly, if it hadn't been Kentucky and Joker Phillips wasn't the coach, I probably wouldn't have taken it. If Joker had been coaching somewhere else, I may not have gone.
"But with Kentucky being my home state and [Phillips] being the coach there and someone I really believe in, that was the reason I left [the LaGrange area]."
When Phillips was an assistant at Kentucky, he grew close to Pardue as they developed what rival recruiters refer to as the "LaGrange-to-Kentucky pipeline" with prospects. Six former LaGrange players were on Kentucky's roster last season.
"If LaGrange has good players, I'm going to recruit them hard," Pardue said. "I'd never try to get them to come to Kentucky just because I'm there. Will we continue to have that type of relationship with LaGrange High? I don't know.
"That 'pipeline' deal has kind of been blown up by other people. It was [Phillips] who took a chance on some guys we recommended and they really shined. Then they kind of sold their buddies on Kentucky.
"If they want to call it a 'pipeline,' then hopefully we can get about 10 or 12 other schools in Georgia to do the same thing, and we'll be in really good shape."

One key question: if Caffey is truly better than Crowell, and palyed his high school ball in the media hotbed of Atlanta, why do more people not share this opinion (including the head coaches at the two major in-state Division 1A/FBS schools in Georgia)? I'm just curious–how does one player get all of the hype? I've heard about Crowell since he was a sophomore. I've heard about Caffey since this morning. What is the reason for this talented a prospect flying under the proverbial radar?

Caffey better than Crowell??? I guess you and Pardue are the only ones in America that think that. Great eyeball for talent you two guys have.
February 1st, 2011
8:18 am
its really hard to say who's better becasue of things like the offensive scheme and playcalling, surrounding talent, level of competition, etc. but i'm gonna agree with the masses on Crowell bein the better of the 2, when someone is annoited the best, skeptics typically place them under a microscope on a hunt for flaws, and if none are uncovered then his crown as the best back must be legit

time will tell who has the best college career but i'm not gonna follow the masses and annoint crowell as the mythical best back in the state based on hype.

HeelDawg. Hype comes generally from several phenomenal performances in games where the player has exposure and or extremely good measureables and stats. It's impossible to see every player in the country or even in the state and employers of most media members don't pay money even worth mentioning to most of the local guys who go out and actually watch games to report on them…. The small group of people able to do it can't go to every game so they have to rely on what they know… and thus hype snowballs because there is only so much information available.
If you get a chance to see a guy play over maybe 3 or 4 years a few times you get to see his best and his worst performances and get a more complete picture, you may talk to a coach or be able to see the player practice or see if he is able to elevate his teammates or if he gets frustrated when taken out of the game etc.
That's the problem with recruiting rankings really. It's not possible to really fully evaluate every player and some guys have great games at the right time while others have a bad night. The only real numbers you can trust are physical measurables and hope for the best.

You will know in 3 – 4 years just how good these two running
backs turn out at the college level.
Dawg fans are still waiting on Caleb King to consistently show
the skills he had at Parkview and GAC. Awfully glad that he did
show those skills at the "Joke by Coke", November 2009 !

Micheal Carvell, ….You Really think Caffy is better than Crowell? Child please…
Pardue…..Knows first hand Crowell is better than Caffey. Crowell has but 200 yards or better each time he faced Pardue Lg team..2008,2009,2010….So how can he think that? Maybe Michael Carvell is the only one to belive that BS. Just like Mack Brown was so great last year? Josh Clemons is better than Caffey, and will play RB at KY also….Tell KY ,Joker, & Pardue they are both not allowed at Carver High anymore after, pulling Carver DB R.Jones Ship after he has been a KY commit since July 2010. Just ask Auburn & UGA what happens when you screw-over Carver players…..

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) - The Minnesota Vikings are bringing some extra baggage to London.
They don't have any wins to take with them, though. Just a home game they have to play overseas.
After their third straight loss to open this season, the Vikings packed up Monday for their long flight. They're considered the host team at Wembley Stadium this Sunday against Pittsburgh for the NFL's annual international showcase.
The Steelers are 1 of the other five 0-3 teams in the league, so the Vikings will face another vulnerable opponent. That's what Cleveland was supposed to be, however, and the Browns left the Metrodome with a 31-27 victory.
One concern is secondary depth. Cornerbacks Chris Cook and A.J. Jefferson and safety Jamarca Sanford were scheduled for MRI tests Monday on their injuries.

I've tabbed it into the parts (according to discussion weeks), and am just starting!
I think instead of taking notes as I go, I'm going to read through each section once, then go back and keep post-it notes on the read through.
Nothing has ever been more relevant to my life.
The author of the book (Laurie Halse Anderson) reblogged my picture and said "Gorgeous image of passionate reading!". NBD. (Except maybe the best thing ever!) [x]
These are only some of the books I remember reading this year, though there couldn't have been many more. For the first time since I learned to read, I actually feel like I didn't read much this year. That feeling I love about reading, getting sucked into a story and not being able to put it down, barely happened at all this year.
So, instead of doing 52 movies for 2014, I'm going to try and read 30 books. Hopefully I can stick with it like I did with the movies. I'm not sure I'll review them (it usually takes me awhile to decide what I actually liked and didn't like about a story) but I'll try to keep up with it both here and at Goodreads.
New books!
Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell
Panic by Lauren Oliver (ARC)
The Evolution of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin (not new)
Insanity by Cameron Jace
Tasha is the best!! I've been wanting to read this book for so long (because of you!) And would you look at that knitting; it's flawless!
I no longer simply recommend books, I disguise them as gifts so you'll HAVE to read them! Lol

DUI Arrests: Know Your Rights
Drinking and driving is illegal. If you're drunk or drinking, then don't drive.
Unfortunately, not all those who have been arrested and found guilty of drunk driving were actually driving drunk. According to the National Motorists Association, "any person with virtually any amount of alcohol in their system is a candidate for a drunk-driving citation and 100% responsible for any accident that may occur, regardless of who caused the accident." This means that even if your Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) is below the legal threshold, you could still be convicted of drunk driving.
It is important that you understand your legal rights if you are ever being charged with a DUI. The following video from Know Your Rights TV provides a brief overview of what rights you have if you are pulled over for driving under the influence.

Snohomish County Red Cross announces new officers, Board members
EVERETT — Local residents Mark McClure and Rochelle James are among a group of new officers taking over on the Snohomish County Chapter of the American Red Cross.
McClure, an Arlington resident, will serve as first vice-chair of the Board of Directors, while James, a Tulalip resident, will chair the Board's Fundraising Committee.
Officers are elected from the chapter's Board on a yearly basis.
"Because of our stagnant regional and national economy, we expect this Board to face a challenging year," said Chuck Morrison, Snohomish County Chapter executive director. "But we hope to extend our streak to eight consecutive years of balancing our budget. Our donors expect us to do so, and our goal is always to do so while providing exceptional services for the citizens of Snohomish County."
Other new Red Cross officers include Chair LeAnne Harrington, Treasurer Pat Sisneros and Nominating Committee Chair Al Aldrich.
A third area resident — Deirdre Kvangnes of Marysville — has been appointed to the Board. Kvangnes was among five new Board members slated to be announced Friday, July 23.

As I am new to the industry, I've minimal knowledge about getting chocolates imported from other countries.. the procedure involved.. what are the freight charges like.. and how difficult or easy is it to get the couvertures imported in India. Anyone here, who has imported bulk chocolates before or has any knowledge about it is kindly requested to share it here.
Views: 195
I'm not sure about the process, but you'll have to acquire an import license for sure. You can also search for trade directories.
Check with Chocolate World
Getting an import license in your name is an easy process, also the fees is less.
Check with the Indian Customs on rules, restrictions and fees applied to get Chocolate & Cocoa based products into India, also please share the incoming route, would it be coming via SEA or AIR, also the dispatch country, etc...
Good Luck :)
hi this is chef akhlesh here we have one supplier in mumbai itself who sell different chocolate depending upon their cocoa %they have volrohana, callebaut, morde ,and lot more
hey chef akhlesh,
can you please share the details of the supplier since there is quite a shortage of couveture chocolate here in Delhi, and Mumbai is the port where it all lands. Thanks in advance. :)

There comes a time in every person's romantic life when you have to stop and take self-inventory. You know those gut check moments when you start to realize that a lot of misadventures, drama, and disappointments all share something in common: YOU.
I know, it's not sexy or fun, but it is definitely necessary. How many old attitudes and bad dating habits are we clinging to that run off potentially great matches? There is a lot to be said about self-awareness. Many of us lack it!
Some men think they are projecting some alpha male image and it attracts women to them. They may not realize that they go overboard sometimes and can appear cold and distant. Some women believe they have the hot body and great sex to offer and that is enough to get and keep a man (It's not, by the way).
So maybe it is worthwhile to figure out what dating habits we need to drop. Determine those old attitudes about the opposite sex that are most likely making us bitter about love. Are you guilty of clinging to bad dating habits?
If you meet someone with awful dating behavior, do you take the time to call them on it?

I'm sort of from the belief that folks can't be re-raised….whether by self or another individual (i.e. he ain't my daddy). (lol) Having said that, I believe we can adjust. People get set in their ways after so long. As with not being able to unhear or unsee…not too much "un" anything is happening in adults.
I'm blogging before the blog's boob and his/her interchangeable mascot: the mutt gets in. Apparently I have sexy ankles, as some animal is always yapping at me
Morning and make it a fantab day!!!
October 9th, 2012

Bad habits:
1. Not being on time
2. Overdressing thinking it's sexy
3. Hoochie dressing
4. Eating waaay too much on a first/second date….please! Don't take advantage!
5. Exposing too much skin..the Ho uniform issue….men will wanna take a 'quick hit' and run
6. Too thirsty…don't grope me,see (6)
7. Slow down the talking and swallow before u talk(I mean swallow food.. )
8. Slow down on the liquor,see (6)
9. Please,I don't wanna hear about your exes….
10.I hope u ain't checking your phone All nite on our date
Happy Tuesday MIA!

"If you meet someone with awful dating behavior, do you take the time to call them on it?" What may be awful to me, may be okay with someone else, so that means their just not the person for me.
"There is a lot to be said about self-awareness. Many of us lack it!" No truer word have ever been spoken.
"Are you guilty of clinging to bad dating habits?" No, because I am who I am, not changing to satisfy everyone's needs.
You have to make up your mind what habits you are willing to change for yourself, and what habits you are willing to deal with in someone.
"when you can't change the people around you, change the people around you!!!"

And for the record (before I start my day), I don't have to blog as others to say what I want…I'm no boob!! I will say though, it caracks me up when someone other than myself get it said. Apparently things aren't transparent to just me…..lolololol
Just wanted to get that said since another time folks attached me in my absence.

Sexing while liqoured then dating
Getting liquored,getting laid then falling in luv with him
Getting sexed then wanting to 'claim' the man,' the sex makes the relationship' theory!
Giving it up quick is no guarantee..see above
Giving it up waay late does not help either unless he is also celibating..learn to know when is right.
Don't solicit me for money to pay this or that after we sex …that is a Ho move. Pay your own damn bills!
Sexing u does not give u the excuse to blow my phone…u grown,take the sex in stride!
(I gave u a sexing license there ladies)

Morning all!
I am not trying to change anyone. I constantly work on improving myself tho. Not just for my man, but myself and the world. I aim to always be a pleasant person to be around.
Like I said earlier, I am not trying to change anyone. Though if I really care about someone and they r doing something they might be unaware of that is offensive to people, if I feel close to them I may kindly bring it to their attention. Other than that I leave it alone. Some dudes freak at any slight thing & think u r trying to change them. Naw dude, do u & what works for u and I'll do the same.

good morning.
ex – re the ho move. I think of the comedian (adele givens maybe) and the joke "you can call me a ho but you can't call me broke".
as for my bad dating habits. I'm not claiming. lol.
October 9th, 2012

disco~ You? With bad dating habits?!? I couldn't imagine!
Seriously, I don't know that wielding honesty like a blunt instrument is a bad dating habit, per se…

CC – I suppose I have bad "pre-date" habits. might explain why I haven't had a date in a while. of course, I'm the person who insists that there is a difference between a "date" and two folks going to get something to eat. lol.
O/T – next weekend erykah badu will be here. thing is she's with rick smiley. I love erykah badu, I can't stand rick smiley. decisions decisions.

i did a bad habit just yesterday. paying for lunch on a blind date because after one glimpse, i knew i never wanted to see him again. for some reason, this is my move to let him down easy.
October 9th, 2012
9:39 am
disco~ Again, blunt honesty is not a bad habit IMO. I have been accused of the same thing, but it doesn't bother me in the least. If you can't handle honesty, you definitely can't handle me…
October 9th, 2012
9:44 am
halo~ Not sure that would qualify as a bad habit to me either. That's just common courtesy…
October 9th, 2012
9:46 am
CC – you know how folks put quotes on the end of their emails. my current standby quote is "respect the truth". I got that from a woman in a store who was schooling her daughter. the little girl was maybe 8 or 9 and apparently had been teased in school. the mother was telling her that it didn't matter what folks said about her if it was true and it didn't matter what folks said about her if it was a lie. she told the girl she had better learn to respect the truth. I wanted to high five that woman but I don't suppose she would have taken kindly to my eavesdropping.
October 9th, 2012
9:46 am
CC – How about you kick off the list while I get these reports done. Lemme brainstorm a minute lol
October 9th, 2012
9:47 am
halo – Who hooked yall up? How did the blind date come about? I know I would never want to break bread with any dude I had not at least seen pics of.
October 9th, 2012
9:56 am
Slim/Ex~ Ok. Here we go:
1. Don't expect because you bought dinner you bought some puddy.
2. Cologne should be a subtle hint, not a bash over the head. (If you smell like you bathed in it, Ugh!)
3. Do not eye fondle other women wile you are out with me.
4. Too much liquor is not a good look for a dude. (Please don't double fist…)
5. Don't tkae me to some loud, overcrowded spot and then expect me to yell over the background noise to "get to know you"
October 9th, 2012
9:59 am
I was set up by a lady i met at the gym. don't really know her but she showed me some professional pics of him. the pics were gorgeous. however, he showed up in his UPS uniform, unshaven, and a scull cap. wth. I always try to bring my A game on a first date. if he couldn't figure that out, he doesn't deserve to see me again.
October 9th, 2012
10:07 am
halo~ UPS uniform = employed. IDK, was he coming from work? If he came to meet you straight from the J, I might have to give him a pass…
October 9th, 2012
10:09 am
halo – CC has a good point…I'm sure when you all decided on that time, that someone made mention that they would be leaving directly from work, yes or no?
October 9th, 2012
10:11 am
cc: really? professional men were staring at us in the restaurant, like what is she doing with him? It was my day off, so all I had on were jeans and stilleto heels. i just wasnt feeling him that way. oh, and also, he had a silver tooth on the side. lol just not my type. his body is probably tight, but it was hidden in the jacket. nothing i saw turned me on. lol
October 9th, 2012
10:11 am
CC – don't know if you were around when I recalled a couple of bad dates on here. one guy (lady at church wanted to hook me up with her visiting brother in law) showed up to the movie late (love and basketball by the way), he was smelling like he crawled out of a barrel of beer and he took a phone call during the movie. neither he nor his sister in law seemed to understand when I said I would pass on a repeat. went to the zoo with another guy, cousin of a co-worker, and he insisted on carrying his gun which to me was already a bad sign. I convinced him to leave the gun in the car. turns out the gun wasn't the worst of it. dude was like dr. Doolittle up in the spot. literally making animal sounds. imagine a grown man barking like a seal. after the zoo I advised him that I didn't really care for Chinese food but he still took me to a Chinese restaurant. I got to work Monday and told old girl that she knew her cousin was crazy. lol. so, to add to the list.
1) be on time or even reasonably late (dude showed up around the time sanaa lathan returned to omar epps being engaged)
2) don't drink too much beforehand. if you have to get liquored up to date me you obviously picked wrong. throw me back.
3) barring straight up emergencies, don't make phone calls. it's rude.
4) leave your gun at home. lol.
5) don't take me someplace that I already told you I don't want to go to.
6) not even going to address talking to animals.
October 9th, 2012
10:13 am
slimuno: no actually he said he was leaving the gym at 11am. So we met a 1pm. he starts work at 4pm. so he had an opportunity to clean up and bring his A game. maybe he didn't expect for me to be attractive. whether he did or not, he still should have tried his best. at least take off the skull cap and put on a tight ups sweater or something.
October 9th, 2012
10:16 am
another test that i do for me is if i offer to buy lunch, as a gentleman, you should say 'no, let me get it'. steve harvey 101. lol
October 9th, 2012
10:24 am
disco ~ did you sit at the table with your arms folded staring him down as he scoffed down his food. Sounds like he's the "scoffing" type. And, anybody talking on the phone in the movies needs to be kicked in the shin!
It's rare that I'm late for anything (other than work). I expect the same from my dates. Be on time, and if you can't try not to be more than 10-15 mins late.
October 9th, 2012
10:28 am
halo – I sort get your point but if someone offered to pay for my lunch I wouldn't argue with them lol…that's what happens when you spring a pop quiz on a person.
October 9th, 2012
10:31 am
good morning leggs – I didn't show out too much. this was the fool with the gun in the car. lol. I didn't even go in the restaurant. when I realized we had arrived at a Chinese restaurant I was feeling some kind of way. told him to go ahead and get himself some takeout and take me back to my car.
October 9th, 2012

slimuno – you are correct! lol thus, my bad habit.

Well, he's not with the general public and will probably only get an hour in the courtyard (or wherever they let him get some air/sunshine on his skin). Anything can happen in that hour.
October 9th, 2012
11:17 am
halo~ Ok, I feel you. I just wanted to make sure dude wasn't getting a bad rap and had just come from work. In this economy, employed = viable candidate.
disco~ The worst date I ever heard of was a friend from college. She got set up on a date with a guy we went to school with. She had called dude and they had arranged to meet at his place and then go on to meet up with a group of his friends. When she arrived, dude was not dressed, already drinking. Then he informed her that she would need to drive as his license was suspended.
He took her to a gay bar. None of the people they were "supposed" to be meeting up with were tere and dude proceeded to hustle gay guys for drinks. At one point, he was double fisting vodka with no chaser. She then makes excuses for why they have to leave. As they are going to her car, dude proceeds to try to get her to go to another bar. When she politely refuses and they have arrived at her car, dude is on the ground "looking for bombs" under the cars. WTF?!? So, she goes to drive him back to his dorm and dude passes out (mercifully, I guess). When they arrive at his apartment and she wakes him up, dude tries to grope her. She politely extricates erself from the situation and jets. By the time she had called me, dude was calling her on the phone telling her what a great time he had and he felt like they really had a connection.
He then proceeded to call her repeatedly for the next few days trying to get her to go on a second date because "they were meant to be together"…

On topic…seriously…I know that I've had some really bad habits in regards to "dating" (like skipping the dating part and moving straight into relationship mode) – I'm working on changing those and feel like I've made a few positive steps forward.
CC and disco – I totally agree with your lists.

The Top Three Cloud Stocks from Gartner's Magic Quadrant
Anindya is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The cloud market can be a big, daunting place. Cloud adoption is growing at a rate of five to eleven times faster than traditional software, and a large portion of IT budgets are increasingly moving over to the cloud. This growth can be attributed to the lower barriers to entry and lower switching costs, which are sparking much more development and activity in the cloud. But who are the real market leaders? Research firm Gartner's answer lies in its Magic Quadrant report for the Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) market.
Image: Gartner's Magic Quadrant
The Gartner Magic Quadrant is widely recognized as one of the most influential market analyses for enterprises seeking to evaluate cloud and hosting vendors. Its evaluation is based on vendors' completeness of vision, including market understanding, product strategy and innovation, among other criteria. The Magic Quadrant also assesses ability to execute, which includes operations and overall viability.
In this article I will focus on three top cloud stocks included in the Magic Quadrant report that could deliver significant returns to investors over the longer term. But first, what does the term "cloud" mean in a broader sense?
Cloud Computing Defined
- The consumption model – Cloud computing offers a unique way to consume a shared pool of computing resources (including networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be added or removed quickly and at a potentially lower cost than a traditional IT infrastructure.
- The services model – The three fundamental cloud computing services models are infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and software as a service (SaaS). Choose any or all of these models depending on your needs.
- The deployment model – There are numerous ways to deploy and use clouds with various considerations, including private cloud, community cloud, public cloud, and hybrid cloud. You can customize your deployment model according to security, network access, IT skills, and more.
Top Three Cloud Stocks
To be included in the Magic Quadrant, the provider must offer a stand-alone IaaS offering run across at least two data centers, complete with 24/7 customer support. Because of the focus on market share, the MQ report takes a more company-and-market-dynamic approach to evaluating firms, rather than a pure look at the technical offerings of each company. It's a solid guide, though, and provides a basic who's who in the cloud.
1. Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN)
Amazon is well known to online shoppers, but its Amazon Web Services, or AWS, business offers a cloud-based set of infrastructure and application services to businesses that can be used to run everything from mobile apps, to websites, to big-data operations. And it's quietly become an increasingly more valuable part of the company's revenue -- and its stock price, which is up more than 50% over the last 12 months.
Carlos Kirjner, an analyst with Bernstein Research, estimated that nearly 20% of Amazon's current share price comes from the value of the Web services arm. This would make the AWS business worth about $24 billion. AWS is the internet infrastructure that is the backbone of cloud-architecture based software and services. AWS has one of the widest breadths of cloud services -- including compute, storage, networking, databases, load balancers, applications and application development platforms, all delivered as a cloud service.
Kirjner estimates that last year, AWS contributed $1.8 billion to Amazon's revenue, and that was double what the business did in 2011, but nothing compared to the $20 billion in revenue it is expected to bring in by 2020. "AWS is likely to grow at a rapid pace for the next several years as Amazon improves the security, compliance, and performance of current offers, expands AWS into new geographies, introduces new products and services and targets new multi-billion revenue pools," he wrote.
The company is "extraordinarily innovative, exceptionally agile, and has one of the richest IaaS portfolio of services," according to Gartner. Its large pool of capacity in the cloud optimizes it for batch computing, high-performance computing, and big data analytics. It has a large technology ecosystem, which makes running licensed and packaged software easy to do in its cloud.
There are some cautions for Amazon, though. One analyst, Jillian Mirandi of Technology Business Researcher, has suggested that continued outages could eventually start hindering businesses' willingness to invest in Amazon's infrastructure. For a more comprehensive view on Amazon as an investment opportunity, you can read my earlier post: Why This E-Commerce Stock Is A Conviction Buy?
2. Rackspace (NYSE: RAX)
Rackspace's OpenStack involvement allows it to compete at the scale and capacity of Amazon. Rackspace is attempting to build a cloud that can scale to just about anyone's needs, says financial analyst Pat Walravens, and he believes with the OpenStack backing the size of deals that Rackspace is able to land will only continue to increase.
"If Amazon is going for scale, cost and breadth of services, Rackspace is going for its services, including what it calls its fanatical support for customers," says Forrester analyst Dave Bartoletti. "They're really trying to make the play that they're the safer enterprise choice and with OpenStack, they want to be known as the non-Amazon."
Rackspace announced in February that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire ObjectRocket, a MongoDB database as a service (DBaaS) provider. With ObjectRocket's open source-based MongoDB solution, Rackspace will broaden its OpenStack-based open cloud platform to offer customers a NoSQL DBaaS. NoSQL software revenue is expected to grow at a CAGR of 82% to reach $215 million by 2015. While the acquisition will undoubtedly be EPS accretive for Rackspace, it will also help the company establish a strong presence within the high growth NoSQL database market.
Rackspace has been betting big on OpenStack, which Gartner says is the strength for the company. Rackspace has the second-largest market share in the cloud, provides excellent customer support and offers low-cost entry points into the cloud, making it ideal for experimentations. Rackspace's OpenStack involvement allows it to compete at the scale and capacity of Amazon. Rackspace is attempting to build a cloud that can scale to just about anyone's needs.
It uses Xen to virtualize its cloud, and has object storage, CDN and platform as a service (PaaS) offerings. Its goal is to provide hybrid cloud connectivity with customers who use OpenStack in their on-site private clouds. Its traditional strength in the managed hosting space gives it a strong customer base to sell its cloud products into, Gartner says.
3. VMware (NYSE: VMW)
VMware is another company that offers its public cloud services via Bluelock. Bluelock is part of VMware's vCloud Data Center Service, meaning it leverages VMware tools to power its offering. It was one of the first to roll out new VMware features, and its product roadmap is aligned with that of VMware's, Gartner says. It has a "Portfolio" service, which provides monitoring of IaaS resources and advises customers on how to optimize workloads.
VMware recently unveiled the VMware Horizon Suite, a comprehensive enterprise cloud platform that will connect end users to their data, applications, and desktops on any device without sacrificing IT security and control.
VMware has been identified as one of 2013's 50 Disruptive Companies, MIT Technology Review 's annual list of the world's most innovative technology companies. The honorees are nominated by MIT Technology Review's editors, who look for companies that have demonstrated original and valuable technology over the last year, are bringing that technology to market at significant scale, and are clearly influencing their competitors.
I've watched VMware closely for the past three years with the large continual share purchases by EMC. The company reported stronger than expected revenue and earnings when it released 4th quarter numbers in February. Total revenue of $1.29 billion just beat consensus of $1.28 billion, and EPS of $0.81 was solidly ahead of the street estimate of $0.78. The stock is expected to trade sideways from its current price for the next few months until it starts gaining traction in the second half of the year. Long-term investors should accumulate shares of the stock in this consolidation.

Successful Joint APS/CNM/EMC Users Meeting, May 2-5, 2011
Budget worries aside, nearly 600 dedicated scientists, staff, and students attended the 2011 APS/CNM/EMC Users Meeting held at Argonne from May 2-5, 2011. The opening plenary session included talks by Dr. Linda Horton (DOE Office of Basic Energy Sciences), Matthew Tirrell (Institute for Molecular Engineering, University of Chicago), and the Honorable Randall M. Hultgren (U.S. House of Representatives, IL 14th District), as well as Argonne's Director, Eric Isaacs.
Facility updates by Brian Stephenson (APS), Amanda Petford-Long (CNM), and Dean Miller (EMC) offered attendees highlights of the past year's activities at each user facility, as well as forward-looking perspectives on what the future holds for the user communities being served by these world-class facilities. The morning session concluded with a report from Simon Bare (UOP LLC) about the National User Facility Organization.
Parallel plenary sessions for the three facilities offered a diverse array of speakers to choose from. The CNM session highlighted Paul Weiss (UCLA), "New Dimensions in Patterning: Placement and Metrology of Chemical Functionality at All Scales"; Weida Wu (Rutgers University); "Multiferroic Vortices in Hexagonal Manganites"; and Paulo Monteiro (University of California at Berkeley), "High-Resolution Nanotomography of Green Cements," among others.
Student speaker awards were selected by judging committees to recognize work done at their respective facilities. The winner of the CNM prize was Prashant Deshlara (University of Notre Dame) for "Polarization-dependent MEIRAS Study of CO Adsorption on Pt Nanowire Catalysts." The CNM Best Poster Prize winner was "A Photoinduced Kinetic Model for Size-Dependent Effects in SERS of Bioinorganic Hybrid Systems" by Daniel Finkelstein-Shapiro (Northwestern University).
Day 2 of the meeting featured three cross-facility workshops: "Frontiers in Imaging and Spectroscopy," "Emergent Interfacial Phenomena," and "In Situ Phenomena in Catalysis." The day concluded with a very well-attended poster session/reception with more than 120 posters. Facility-specific workshops rounded out day 3, with the CNM hosting "Photoinduced Charge Transfer in Nanostructures." Details can be found online.
A large vendor exhibit and numerous social events rounded out the experience. An album of photos from the meeting can be viewed on Flickr.

By Myra Saturen
November 26, 2012
Community service has taken biological sciences major Stacy Beaty to many places, including most recently, St. Michael Indian School in St. Michael, Arizona, where she participated in a garden project as part of NCC's service learning program.
Located on a Navajo reservation, St. Michael Indian School was founded in 1902 by Saint Katharine Drexel and the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament. The K-12 school, based on Catholic and Native American principles, has embraced a garden project initiated by the Sunrise School for Ecological Living, a nationwide program that provides hands-on educational opportunities to Native American youths in exploring their connections to the earth. The organization's purpose is to give students the experience needed to live with the cultural values of self-reliance and ecological balance.
Beaty went to St. Michael during NCC's fall break. There, she helped harvest lettuces, arugula, swiss chard, and broccoli to sell to employees of Fort Defiance Hospital on the reservation. "The hospitals on the reservation are almost entirely staffed by non-native people who have a taste for fresh veggies that are typically hard to come by on the reservation," she says.
The goal of the St. Michael project, where Beaty worked with high school students, is to create gardens at the school that will supply produce for the cafeteria and remedy erosion on the school's land. Ultimately, the sunrise project will teach the Navajo how to grow their own food, compost and maintain the land sustainably and to possibly create a profit source for the Navajo people through agriculture. "The aim of the garden work at the school is to get students involved and educated about growing their own food and the benefits of doing so nutritionally, economically and ecologically," Stacy says.
In addition to helping with the garden project, Stacy helped students at St. Michael get ready for the ACT examination, prepare college essays and cheer for the girls' varsity volleyball team. She also had time to hike window rock, a famous boulder with a hole in the middle, at night, with some of the teachers, a memorable venture.
Beaty has long been passionate about community service and healthful nutrition.
Before enrolling at NCC, she trained at Second Helpings, a non-profit culinary school in Indianapolis, and worked in food service for five years. At NCC she founded the Vegetarian Club, initiated Meatless Mondays in the College cafeteria and participated in the Student Leadership Class. In 2012, she presented "The Effect of Education and Stress Reduction Programs on Feelings of Control and Positive Lifestyle Changes in Cancer Patients and Survivors" at the Beacon Conference, a yearly event for community college students.
As part of service learning, she volunteered at the Cancer Support Community in Bethlehem, teaching a cooking class where she showed participants to prepare Mexican pizza among other nutritious dishes. A handbook she wrote for the Cancer Support Community has been accepted by the Undergraduate Journal of Service Learning and Community Based Research.
Beaty says she is still processing all she learned at St. Michael School. One of these lessons was in intercultural communication. "Because of the delicate relationship between Navajo people and non-natives based on the painful past, sometimes even the best intentions can be met with resistance." Most importantly, Beaty's experience offered a rare opportunity to assist in an important project.

Detectives seized $14,000 worth of marijuana plants from a home in eastern Hillsborough County Wednesday, the sheriff's office said.
Deputies arrested 49-year-old Christopher Dean Raulerson. He is charged with cultivation and possession of marijuana.
Detectives said he had two rooms in the Thonotosassa home set up to grow the pot plants. They seized 102 plants and about 14 pounds of dried marijuana. They also took equipment they say Raulerson used to grow the plants.
The sheriff's office says a Crimestoppers tip led them to the house.

Purdue Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans with Disabilities (EBV)
- The Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans with Disabilities (EBV) was founded at Syracuse in 2007. The concept is to provide world-class training in entrepreneurship and small –business management to post-9/11 veterans with service-connected disabilities, without any cost to the veterans. There are now eight universities that offer the EBV: Purdue, Syracuse, Cornell, Connecticut, Florida State, LSU, Texas A&M and UCLA.
- More than 760 veterans have completed EBV training; in 2009, the Department of the Army named the EBV as a national "best practice" for programs serving soldiers and their families. Students are accepted into the program based on the quality of their passion for entrepreneurship.
- Syracuse manages the application process, recruiting post-9/11 veterans with proof of service related disability.
- The program is conducted in three phases: a self-study session in which veterans complete courses through online discussions moderated by university faculty; an intensive, nine-day on-campus residency session where veterans learn to develop their own business concepts and understand the basic elements of small business management; and a 12-month technical assistance program during which graduates have ongoing support and mentorship.
Phase 1: Participants begin with a self-study session in which they complete courses through online discussions moderated by Dr. Elaine Mosakowski, the EBV academic director.
Phase 2: Residency from October 31-November 8
Phase 3: 12-month mentorship
- This year, the Purdue residency begins with a celebration in Indianapolis at the Indiana War Memorial Museum and ends in West Lafayette with our commencement ceremony following Purdue's Military Appreciation Day. The bootcamp integrates faculty, entrepreneurs, disability experts and business professionals. Veterans receive instruction on topics such as feasibility and market analysis, supply chain management, financing and more.
- MBA and other Purdue students get involved in the program. We anticipate over 200 student volunteers will work with the veterans this year to help them start a venture. These student volunteers, along with Purdue alumni and business leaders, work with the veterans during their on-line program, during the bootcamp and afterward as mentors. Important components of Purdue's EBV are generating awareness in our community about veterans' challenges and encouraging experiential learning about entrepreneurship.
- The 2013 Purdue class featured 27 veterans from 16 different states.
- Purdue has 104 EBV graduates.
- In 2012, nine (out of 26) 2013 EBV Graduates were awarded National EBV Grants and 35% had legal entities filed within 180 days following the Purdue EBV Graduation.
Lt. Col. Craig A. Triscari, USA (Ret.) comments on the program:
"The EBV program provided real-world connections and opportunities in which to engage. These connections included business mentors, educational mentors, and general business connections. It felt more like the program would be after the formal education ended at Purdue University. It felt real unlike just a slide presentation."
National EBV facts as of January 2014:
56% have launched a new venture within six months of completing the program
over 1000 new jobs created
