Currently watching Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (2009) for the first time.
I currently work at Tellus Science Museum where we have a big event each year that was inspired by the films. Our fourth annual Night at the Museum is coming up at the beginning of August and will feature lots of actors (though, unfortunately, not the likes of Robin Williams or Jon Bernthal ;)) dressed up as science and science fiction characters.
I'm watching the movie on FX so they are showing some bonuses and behind the scenes DVD extras. I'm planning on writing a review of the movie in relation to my personal experiences and rather limited understanding of museums. Hopefully the review will be up in a more timely manner than my other updates!

Fall Spectacular Thrills Fans at Marshfield as Season Concludes
Posted under Race Reports by Chris Budzban on September 21st, 2003
September 21, 2003; Marshfield, WI: – For this first time in the history of the two-day Fall Spectacular, all the events were completed as scheduled. Friday night's action included Last Chance events for the Super Late Model to qualify into the 7th Annual Race of Champions (held Saturday), plus a 40 lap feature for the drivers that did not qualify. The Super Stocks were also on hand Friday night with a special 24 lap feature starting 24 cars in memory of Merle Weinfurter #24. The Legends, 1-Man Cruisers and IMCA Oldtimers concluded Friday's racing. Saturday's big race was the 100 lap Super Late Model Race of Champions.
Driver's qualified for this race either by setting fast time or winning the feature at Marshfield, Golden Sands and Dells speedways, plus three cars from the Friday last chance events. The Limited Late Models, Street Stocks, 4-Cylinders, Mini-Cups, IMCA Oldtimers and 2-Man Cruisers made up the rest of Saturday night's program.
Charlie Menard was fast timer of the Super Lates Saturday night and rolled a five with the dice, determining that there would be a 15-car invert for the start of the 7th Annual 100 lap Race of Champions. Terry Baldry started on the pole with Erik Darnell outside. Darnell quickly took the lead with Baldry running second. Kirby Kurth, Dean LaPointe and Todd Stapleman rounded out the top five for several laps. Steve Holzhausen, starting from sixth, began passing cars and was in fourth by lap five. Darnell, having some mechanical troubles with his car, was forced to give up the lead and pit on lap six.
Darnell never returned. Baldry then assumed the lead with Holzhausen right behind in second. LaPointe was racing third, Chris Weinkauf fourth and Kurth fifth. The first caution flew on lap nine when contact between Joe Krzykowski and Travis Sauter caused a spin. Neither driver returned to the race. Baldry continued to lead, but Kurth lost the fifth spot to Todd Stapleman when the race resumed. Holzhausen passed Baldry for the lead on lap 15, and began to stretch out the lead.
Stapleman had passed Weinkauf for fourth and then LaPointe for third on lap 19. Rory Melbinger also making a move on lap 19, to take fifth from Weinkauf. Lap 26, defending champion, Mark Eswein passed Melbinger for fifth. Lap 27 contact between Eswein and LaPointe caused a spin on the backstretch, both drivers' made awesome recoveries and the caution didn't come out. LaPointe did lose several spots on the track, placing him in seventh.
Lap 39, Baldry began having car problems which would force him to pit on lap 48. With Baldry's car slowing, Stapleman took second, Eswein third, Baldry held fourth for a few laps until Melbinger and Weinkauf went by him. The next caution came out on lap 45 for the spun car of Keith Bohmsach. When the race restarted, Holzhausen led, Stapleman second, Eswein third, Melbinger fourth, Weinkauf fifth. Charlie Menard had worked his way to the front and into fifth for lap 51. The caution flew again for the spun car of Dean LaPointe on lap 56.
The decision was then made to allow the cars to refuel on pit road under caution. All drivers retained their running position on the track. Weinkauf refueled, but was forced to pit for mechanical problems and had to restart in the rear. 2003 Marshfield Super Speedway Track Champion Judd Brandl passed Menard for the fifth spot on the restart. Lap 64, Menard came back to take fifth from Brandl and then proceeded to take fourth from Melbinger. Brandl also moved up behind Menard forcing Melbinger to sixth. Menard passed Eswein for third on lap 77, and then passed Stapleman for second on lap 79. Eswein passed Stapleman for third the next lap. Melbinger with some troubles had dropped back and retired from the race on lap 83.
The final caution flew with only seven laps remaining when LaPointe and Mackesy had contact causing a spin. With Holzhausen losing the lead he had stretched out after each caution, Menard was right there to challenge him for the top spot. As the two raced door-to-door around the 1/2 mile, Menard edged out front for the lead with only three to go. Menard was able to stay in the front spot for the win, Holzhausen second, Eswein third, Stapleman fourth and Brandl fifth.
Friday night, Steve Holzhausen set fast time, qualifying him for Saturday's Race of Champions. Todd Stapleman won the first Last Chance race and Keith Bohmsach won the second, qualifying both of them for Saturday.
The 40 lap Super Late Model feature was led by Cale Laessig for the first four laps, until Frank Nitzke passed him for the lead. Greg Weinfurter quickly raced to the front from his seventh place start for second. Laessig raced third until lap nine when Mark Kraus overtook him. Laessig fell to fourth with Eugene Gregorich Jr. fifth who started last since he missed qualifying. Gregorich's run seemed strong until lap 11 when he was forced to pit and didn't return. Jay VanDerGeest then moved up to fifth. Brian Back was right behind VanDerGeest and both of them passed Laessig on lap 14.
Lap 15, Weinfurter also seeming to have a strong run was forced to pit. Kraus moved up to second behind Nitzke, Back moved up to third, VanDerGeest fourth and Rick Grunden fifth. Grunden passed VanDerGeest for fourth on lap 20. Lap 37, Kraus lost the second spot to Back. A spin on the white flag lap ended the race with Nitzke winning, Back second, Kraus third, Grunden fourth and VanDerGeest fifth.
The 25 lap Limited Late Model feature had three caution flags before a lap was ever completed. Officials were forced to start the race single file just to get it started. Rocky Carlson led the first two laps. The yellow was out again on lap two for the spun car of Brandon Feit. When the race resumed, Paul Block took over the lead. Block, Blake Horstman, and Derek Dombeck all passed Carlson pushing him back to fourth. Lap four, Mark Sherfinski took fourth from Carlson. The next lap Sherfinski passed Dombeck for third. Horstman passed Block for the lead on lap seven. The caution flew again on lap eight for the spun car of Bo Bennish.
Officials then shortened the race by five laps. Neil Knoblock, who was scheduled to start 12th as he was the fast timer, was forced to pit during one of the early caution flags and had to start in the back, was running strong and into fourth on lap nine. Knoblock passed Sherfinski and Block for second on lap 12, but was unable to obtain the lead from Horstman. Horstman won, Knoblock second, Justin Woller also having to restart from the back third, Block fourth and Sherfinski fifth.
The Merle Weinfurter Memorial 24 lap Super Stock feature was led by Scott Havlicek for the first three laps. Contact between Kyle Davis and Brendan Klueckman brought out the first caution on lap two sending both of them to rear. Andy Simonis took the lead on lap four from Havlicek, but contact between those two brought out the second yellow. Josh Oleson led lap five until Cale Laessig took the lead for four laps. Oleson raced second, Keith Bohmsach third, Tim Plowman fourth and Larry Schultz fifth. Bohmsach passed Oleson for second and then took the lead from Laessig.
Plowman moved up to the third spot as Brian Weinfurter raced into the fifth spot. Weinfurter and Schultz battle over the fifth spot, with Schultz taking it and then fourth from Oleson. Larry Devito's car blew the engine in turns three and four dropping oil onto the track and causing a major pile up. Schultz's car and Tim Hintz's car were both done for the night. Weinfurter passed Oleson for fourth and Jason Kirsling took fifth from Oleson the next lap. Jim Cormack worked his way through the field and into fourth, passing Weinfurter and Kirsling. Weinfurter was able to gain a position back at the finish. Bohmsach won, Laessig second, Plowman third, Weinfurter fourth and Cormack fifth.
Elliott Weiler grabbed the lead of the Legends feature, and looked for the win. Dan McGiveron came from the back to the front in quick hurry and was second on lap two. The first caution flew on lap two for the spun car of Eric Lokemoen. Lap four the yellow was out again this time for contact between Phil Bickley and John Burgess. On the restart Weiler continued to lead, McGiveron second, Curt Gnatzig third, Josh Schoenick fourth and Russ Weiler fifth. Schoenick and Russ Weiler both passed Gnatzig for third and fourth. McGiveron began challenging Elliott Weiler for the lead and took it from him with only two laps to go. McGiveron held on for his first feature win, Elliott Weiler second, Lokemoen third, Russ Weiler fourth and Schoenick fifth.
One lap of the 4-Cylinder feature was completed before the first caution flew for contact between Barry LeBlanc and Erin Schlough. Kevin Teske led for three laps until Donald Dunow took the lead. Car troubles on lap nine forced Dunow to relinquish the lead and pit leaving Derek Bettenhausen as the leader. 2002 and 2003 Marshfield Track Champion Keith Wirtz was running second and took the lead from Bettenhausen on lap ten. Jason Bell was running third, Chad Dietsche fourth and Dale Louze fifth. Dietsche passed Bell for third for one lap with Bell coming back to reclaim the spot. A couple of cautions flew on lap 15, but Wirtz kept the lead. Louze and Kevin Eckes moved up into the fourth and fifth positions. As the cars came around to get the checkered, Bettenhausen tried too hard to get the lead from Wirtz and spun himself coming out of turn four. Wirtz won, Bell second, Eckes third, Louze fourth and Dietsche fifth.
The Mini-Cup feature lap one was led by Chris Hoen. Kyle Kluetz led the rest of the 15 lap contest. Trevor Raski took second, Nick Krueger third, Mark Krueger fourth and Randy Braun fifth.
CJ Hedges led the first four laps of the caution free Street Stock feature. Brendan Klueckman then took the lead until lap15 when Doug Herbst took over for the win. Klueckman took second, Brian Bartelt third, Duane Myszka fourth and Joe Monti fifth.
The IMCA Oldtimers were here to race both nights. Friday night's heat winners were Jerry Sullivan and Gary Stein. George Shields won the open wheeled feature and Chris Loberg won the full bodied feature. Saturday's heat winners were Lou Fegers, Mark Peine and Gary Stein. Jerry Sullivan won the first feature, Skip Pollack won the second, and Bob Barfknecht won the third.
The 1-Man Cruiser feature was won by Mike Dodson, Rodney Feltz second, Travis Zvolena third, Sam Sudduth fourth and Matt Curnoyer fifth. Rodney Feltz won the three race championship, Mike Dodson second and Travis Zvolena third.

I downloaded feedly as a chrome extension. It will import your google reader feeds, and shares a similar look and feel. So far, so good.
Yeah, I'm liking feedly so far too. It's a nice interface.
Where can we get a link to download feedly?
I'm playing with feedly too as of this announcement, liking it so far.
So sad!!! I use google reader everyday! I'll have to try Feedly I guess, though I have some issues with Chrome.
FEEDLY to the rescue!
Feedly seems to have some chronology errors. The posts go from today to yesterday back to today and then back to yesterday. I hope they can work out the bugs before July.
Will feedly still work once google reader shuts down? It seems like the ipad app is a lot like Feedler which depends on reader.
As an avid Google Reader user, I wasn't too happy when I logged in this morning. A quick google search for "Google Reader replacements" gave me many articles with lists of the best (free) replacements.
@Sk345 -- You might want to try a simple google search. While Feedly seems to be the most popular replacement option -- it is also the one I chose to switch to -- there are certainly other alternatives.
I've only just started checking in to Feedly, but it seems to be pretty easy to use. Everything from Google Reader imported in a matter of seconds. So far, so good.
@Chereebers - Feedly has already creating a back-up system in anticipation of Reader being killed. If you import your feed from Google, supposedly you'll never know when Reader's gone. I love it so far!
I've been using Feedly for a while for my iPhone. It's been an awesome app, I think it will fill the void nicely.
I use Bloglovin to read all the blogs that I follow and I really like its app for my phone more so than anything. It's easy to add blog to it as well.
I just downloaded Feedly and it seems pretty good so far. Different layout but I enjoy how it looks. I haven't seen it on my phone though yet so I can't comment there.
bloglovin' is pretty awesome so far...
Netvibes is very similar in interface to Google Reader. I tried Feedly but it didn't work for me because its interface is too different. Just make sure to switch from "Widgets view" to "Reader view" in the top lefthand corner of the site once you sign up. That way it looks just like GR. It's really simple to import your Reader subscriptions to Netvibes, you just have to:
1. Head to Google Takeout's Reader page (https://www.google.com/takeout/?pli=1#custom:reader) and click the Create Archive button. It'll start building a file with all your feeds, the people you follow, starred items, and more (though most of these won't be importable to other sites).
2. Once it's finished building, click the Download button that appears to get your subscriptions.
3. Open up the ZIP file you just downloaded and go through the folders inside. Inside the Reader folder, you should see a file called subscriptions.xml. Extract that to your desktop.
4. Open up Netvibes, click on the "add content" button in the top right hand corner. It is green and has a plus sign. In the "add feed" box, find the Import option. Select it, and choose the subscriptions.xml file you just extracted. All of your feeds should appear in your new reader.
#4 is top LEFT hand corner, not right. My bad.
There are lots of alternatives, but keep in mind they're all being slammed by people fleeing Google Reader.
The Old Reader
Google Currents
lots more on browser, desktop, and mobile space
I'm just going to wait a couple months and let the other companies figure out how to re-create my Google Reader experience. For all I know, we'll convince them to not close down in the meantime.
Thanks for the resources, everyone. I share the pain. I'd even pay for a good alternative.
I like http://theoldreader.com/ so far. :)
I'm really bummed out by this. I was enticed by the automatic migration that Feedly offers, but I'm not really liking it. I am hoping I can find a better option in the next few months that I can use on both on my computer (Windows) and phone (Android).

For the past 5 days now, I've been back in Edmonton to work with the incredible people of Martyshuk Housing.
I've worked with them several times before and have had a blast every time.
This week was no exception. Once again, I got to spend time with people who are so full of love, warmth and happiness, even if life hasn't always been so kind to them.
As I have been hanging around the halls with my camera for the past few days now, all of Martyshuk Housing clients know me pretty well. (Either as Brice or "camera guy") And every time I show up, I am welcomed by big smiles, which make my job pretty sweat and easy I gotta say.
Learn more about what Martyshuk housing does here, we definitely need more people like them in this world…
I am shooting videos this time and you'll get to see them pretty soon, but in the mean time here are 2 of my buddies.
Remember when on Monday I told you I had just shot the latest "My Song" video with Tita?
Guess what, the video is already here!
For this video, Tita and I decided to go with "Sail" by Awolnation. A dark counterpoint to her last video.
What do you guys think?
If you want to be part of the "My Song" series, you know what to do…
This morning, Jessica stopped by the studio to shoot for the EKTA series.
But as you know, I never miss an occasion to ask my models to put some clothes on and to stick around for a few portraits.
So after a great EKTA session (you'll see some photos very soon) we shot those photos.
If you're around Vancouver and want to shoot with me, as always, contact the studio and we'll make it happen.
Saturday, I've had the great pleasure to meet actress Keegan Connor Tracy.
She was in need of new headshots and stopped by my studio for an hour.
I knew her from TV shows such as "Supernatural","The 4400", "Eureka" or "Battlestar Galactica", and she now plays in a show called "Once upon a time".
More photos from her shoot in the days to come, but in the mean time be sure to tune in every Sunday nights (season premiere on Sept 30th) at 8pm on ABC and check her out.
And if you need new headshots, you now know who to contact, right…?
Edmonton - High street… from Brice Ferre Photography on Vimeo.
Guess what…
When I'm not filming cool models for the "my song" series, I am filming cool models to promote "High Street" in Edmonton, Alberta.
Here is the latest video we shot there a few weeks ago, for the great people of Regency Developments.
Jennifer Williams - Boudoir Studio from Brice Ferre Photography on Vimeo.
Looks like with the amount of videos we are doing these days, "Brice Ferre Photography" will soon become "Brice Ferre Studio".
We have even created a video page on www.briceferre.com, go check it out.
I have worked for quite a while on documentaries and feature films when I was in France, so shooting and editing videos is second nature. And I am actually realizing that more and more of my photo clients ask me if we can shoot videos for them as soon as they know it's an option.
Here is a recent video we worked on with Jennifer Williams, N°1 boudoir photographer in British Columbia and Alberta.

Chase Jarvis, happy to see me. The feeling is always mutual.

Just here looking for animals? Reptiles, birds, farmyard to jungle and more.
A raccoon is a medium sized animal native to North America, although they have been spread to Europe by people. They prefer to live in forests. Raccoons like to sleep during the day and hunt at night. They eat insects, plants and small animals. A baby raccoon is called a kit.
Rats are like large mice. They often live near people, scavenging food scraps in rubbish tips or stored food in houses. Rats are pests and most people try and get rid of rats if they can.
Rats can also kept as pets. Pet rats tend to be white or multicoloured, and wild rats tend to be plain brown or grey.
Rattlesnakes cause most snake bite injuries and deaths in America. They are a threatened species now because people kill so many of them.
Rattlesnakes scare off predators by rattling their tails. The rattling sound is made by special scales at the end of the rattlesnake's tail.
The red panda is a small animal, not much larger than a cat, that eats bamboo. It is not related to the giant panda but is in fact more closely related to weasels.
Reindeer, also known as caribou, are a kind of deer that can be used for pulling sleds. Traditionally, Santa Claus' sled is pulled by flying reindeer.
Rhinoceros (or rhino for short) are a very large animal found in Africa, the Middle East and southern Asia. They have one or two horns in the middle of their head. They have very thick skin, and can live to be 50 years old. A male rhino is called a bull, a female rhino is called a cow and a baby rhino is called a calf.

This is true, and unfortunately the Blackberry/iPhone/Mobile app is the only option many of us have: Blizzard will not ship the physical authenticator to some locations. Those of us in U.S. territories such as Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, etc. are locations to which Blizzard will not ship the devices. At first I assumed it had something to do with security/encryption export laws, the same laws apply to the technology available in mobile phones. Blizzard will ship them to non-U.S. addresses but apparently not all domestic U.S. Postal Service areas. It makes Blizzard's recent struggles to get WoW in China very ironic considering China's stance on foreign encryption technology.

Knox Jewelers Blog
Knox Jewelers Now Open in Woodbury Lakes
We have opened our second location in the Minneapolis – Saint Paul Metro area. Our new store is located in Woodbury Lakes, next door to Victoria's Secret®. The address is 9020 Hudson Road Suite 405, Woodbury, Minnesota 55125. Telephone number is 651.330.9275.
Our Woodbury store is open seven days per week.
Monday through Saturday from 10:00 AM until 8:00 PM
Sunday from 11:00 AM until 6:00 PM.
For those of you that know us, please stop into the new store to say hi. For those that are just hearing about us, here is a little bio for you:
Our passion is making rings and we like to think this passion shows through in our work.
Our jewelry making techniques combine cutting-edge technologies with the skills of our onsite master level artisans. The end result is a level of design and quality that we feel is in the upper echelon of jewelry.
Our level of quality cannot be mass produced. Every one of our rings is built to order from the ground up, in the exact intended finger size and for the exact intended center stone. One size fits all is good enough for our competitors, but not for us.
We take extreme pride in our unique line of rings. But more than that, we take pride in delivering a wearable work of art in every ring we make. Every Knox ring is meticulously hand crafted one ring at a time from the ground up. Even with our simple solitaire designs, our artisans are instructed to maintain crisp lines with perfect symmetry and perfectly polished surfaces. Our more ornate and artistic designs may take a week or longer for one of our master artisans to complete.
It is about more than just making rings to us. For us, it is about making every Knox ring a little work of art.
Our Woodbury location is intended to offer our unique line of artisan and handcrafted engagement rings, wedding bands and jewelry to the following communities of the east Metro.
Lake Elmo
North St. Paul
Cottage Grove
Inver Grove Heights
South St. Paul
Little Canada
Vadnais Heights
White Bear Lake
Red Wing
River Falls

Alright, guys! Time for a little update!
Thanks to remcomater28, who posted the link on the DF boards, and also thanks to all of you awesome people who reblogged and spread the words, we currently have 71 signatures!
That's fantastic but nowhere near enough, yet.
Here's the link again. Go, go, go!
The question of signing the petition more than once has come up. I'll be honest with you. The petition is free and there's no need to sign up. So technically, we do not have any means of preventing you from doing so. But we definitely do not encourage it at all. That would be cheating and we do believe that the European fanbase is strong enough without it.
What else can you do? Have you thought of making your friends sign it? Even if they're not yet big fans of the band, they'd be happy to accompany you to their shows, right? And trust me, that will make them a fan. Once they experience the energy, there'll be no turning back. If they need a little more convincing, just show them the new video for I Hope You Suffer. 'nuff said! :)
Also….do you have a website dedicated to the band for fans in Europe? Maybe one in your mother tongue or a forum for local fans…just something like that? If so, would you like to be featured on here? I'd be more than willing to post a little feature about your website / forum / blog / whatever. If you're interested, just send me an email to firstname.lastname@example.com. You can send me your link, website's banner / logo and a little description. It would be awesome if you would write it both, in English and the language of your website. Make it international, guys! :)

Water dish
posted 6 years ago
I use one of these as a water dish for my leopard gecko. It's deep enough to put a good amount of water in, but shallow enough for him to climb in and out of it. :)
Pros: My gecko seems to like this
Cons: None

Reptile feeding and water bowls

I use the bowls for my hermit crabs and my small tortoise. They are shallow enough that the tortoise can get into to eat her food. The hermit crabs like to soak in there water and the deeper one I put a variety of food for them.
Pros: very durable
Cons: not easy to clean

PIC: Lady Gaga posts nude photo of herself on Twitter!
*Image removed upon request*
Lady Gaga has posted a nude picture of herself on her Twitter page (am I the only one who wondered who took the picture?).
The singer posed in a hotel room on a chair wearing nothing more than a nude thong.
RELATED: Lady Gaga poses nude with tiny men crawling all over her body in her new fragrance ad!
She also took to Twitter in support of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. Gaga tweeted: 'geez this kirstew rob stuff is brutal. makes me sad the way press acts. hope they're ok'.
Gaga also tweeted the picture below! The singer is about to make her acting debut, starring in Robert Rodriguez's 'Machete Kills', the sequel to 'Machete'.
In the first picture of her embodying the role of La Chameleón, Gaga can be seen holding a pistol still steaming with smoke, as she seductively poses with a dead white wolf draped around her.
With a shadow cast across her face, the Grammy-winner strikes a pose while dripping with jewels and smouldering in suspenders and Marilyn Monroe-inspired hairstyling.
The excited 26-year-old tweeted: 'Yes its true, I will be making my debut as an actress ln the amazing MACHETE KILLS BY @RODRIGUEZ IM (sic) SO EXCITED!!! AH! Filming was insane.'
She delivered her message after the 44-year-old filmmaker broke the news: 'I just finished working with @LadyGaga on @MacheteKills , she kicked SO MUCH ASS! Holy Smokes. Blown away!'

About the Baltic Birch Weave Bowl
Whether used to hold fruit or as a contemporary accent atop the table, this decorative bowl serves as a true eye-catcher! New England artisan Robert Jones uses laser-cut segments of wood, rotated in layers to create an intricate, dynamic woven look. The mesmerizing weave design is crafted from a single sheet of top-quality Baltic birch, with little to no waste in the process! Measures 15" wide x 5" high. Not water-safe. Crafted in Maine.

Summer vacation is almost here. The school day count is down to T-3 and soon the late nights of playing outside and lazy mornings will be here. Along with that comes the heat and humidity…and turning on the oven or stove to prepare dinner is the last thing you want to do. Believe me, I'm not complaining, This winter has been the longest one I can remember. EVER. So I'm looking forward to the nights of cool dinners, and this Gazpacho is one of my new favorites.
We had this soup at book club in May when our dear friend Amy hosted. Amy LOVES good food, but her dislike of being in the kitchen is just as strong :). So when she whipped out this deliciously amazing Gazpacho, I knew I had to share it. Amy doesn't even THINK about recipes with more than 5 ingredients, so if she made it, you know it is worth it. Chop, pour, puree, chill and – voila – dinner! How's that for in-a-flash healthy, cool, yummy dinner? Pull out all your favorite mix-ins and personalize the Gazpacho to fit your mood. Avocado, cilantro, chips, feta, croutons…the sky is the limit for the tasty combinations.
Ok, summer, bring it. Bring on the heat. We are armed and ready!
- 1 English or regular cucumber, peeled and finely diced
- 1 large ripe tomato, cored and finely diced
- ½ small red onion peeled and finely diced
- 1 red bell pepper, seeded and finely diced
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
- ½ cup chopped cilantro
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 tbsp. red wine vinegar
- 1½ cups v8 juice
- ½ cup ice water
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- Avocado
- Cilantro
- Croutons
- Feta Cheese Crumbles
- Chips
- Mix all ingredients in a large bowl and puree with immersion blender until desired thickness is reached. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours to let flavors develop. Serve cold with optional toppings.

When I was in Spain I ate gazpacho all of the time! It is so delicious in the summer. I have to admit I am not one for cold soups except this one. I am definitely going to have to try this recipe out this summer. Beautiful photos.

Village needed to save our city
It's all too easy to talk about the struggles of America's inner cities and become fixated on symptoms like crime and violence, but how do you actually address these issues? Step one: looking at the problem holistically.
Martin Luther King once said, We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope. Meaning we will always have disappointments, but we must hold on to the idea that we shall overcome. Hope is the one key ingredient to successful urban renewal. I don't think people are violent – I think circumstances create people who act violently. Unless we deal with the root cause, we can arrest all of the known bad guys, but the system without change will create a new set of bad actors.
Planners – including the community – must work in an interdisciplinary fashion. We must accept that diverse populations understand their own needs and can offer significant contributions to the planning process. True collaboration is imperative for short-term and sustained success in building a healthy city. Looking at community violence without considering issues like poverty, unemployment, mental health, education and other ills that plague urban inner cities is tantamount to a dog chasing its tail.
Community collaboration is necessary. We need your input, your energy and your commitment to change. We can create a movement that can't be ignored. Our next community meeting will take place at 6 p.m. April 12 at Primetime Community Center, 3701 S. Calhoun St. Please commit to being part of the change. We can save our city – but it will take a village.

NRA running the nation
Once again the National Rifle Association is seen running this country. Sen. Harry Reid dropped the assault weapon ban again so gun manufacturers can make more money selling sure death. This is my email to him:
I realize I'm not from Nevada but you clearly consider yourself a National Senator' so here I am.
What do you think you are doing dropping the assault weapon ban!!! I oppose term limits but it is time to clean house. We need to send you and McCain and most of the 535 House and Senate members HOME. Home to STAY. Get a clue. WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH MASS KILLING!!! Why can't you get that through your heads?
Guns DO kill. People kill using guns. Without guns how many homicides by dagger do you think we would see? Certainly not 20 and 30 in a minute.
If people feel they are entitled to play like soldiers with assault rifles, why don't we pass out hand grenades? There's a way to stop school shooters and bank robbers. Pull the pin and solve the problem. (Please note: Sarcasm intentional.)

No reason not to keep calm
When my son was born with Down syndrome, my first reaction was not to keep calm. I called several moms whose names I was given by family members or friends or neighbors – anyone who knew a mother of a child with Down syndrome. I remember one mother saying, It's going to be OK over and over. I remember thinking, is she crazy? I was just told my son has a cognitive disability and she keeps telling me it's going to be OK? Looking back, I can see she was trying to tell me to keep calm.
Most of my worry wasn't necessary. I have learned that people with Down syndrome are more like everyone else than different and the mom I spoke with years ago was right, it is all OK.
There is so much to appreciate about people with Down syndrome. Appreciating people with Down syndrome is not just for their friends and families, but for all people who believe in a good quality of life and human rights for everyone. The Indiana Postsecondary Education Coalition is partnering to create programs that will give higher education options to people with intellectual disabilities. Locally, the Down Syndrome Association of Northeast Indiana is committed to enhancing the lives of those affected by Down syndrome. Please visit www.dsani.org to find out more.
Next time you meet someone with Down syndrome or any difference, remember we're all different and keep calm.

Gary McKinnon Hacker MP3 podcast
- Ghost32

- Hits: 339
we devote the entire podcast to the strange tale of Gary MacKinnon, a British hairdresser turned computer hacker who is wanted by US federal prosecutors. MacKinnon is accused of committing "the biggest military hack ever." MacKinnon says he wasn't being malicious; he just wanted to find out if the US government was withholding information about UFOs. We examine the case, in full, today on The World's technology podcast."

What he did was not malicious or a treat to US military at all ! In fact he did them a favour because he pointed the hacking problems out for them. He did find some evidence, but didnt used it for personal gain. Like a secret Space fleet, And some antigravity propulsion info connected to this. And some photos of UFOs in space ! But his problem is the time he did it ! - Only a year after the 2001 9/11 incident !! And after a new terroist law was effected!! But the biggest military hack !! (That must be if they think the UFOs and the secret spacefleet he found info about - Still then!, NO)! But the greates hacker !! :) :) No NO No.. ! :) :) And NO !! :)

Looking for a good holiday read? An Invisible Thread, which accounts the unlikely friendship between Long Island native Laura Schroff, a successful ad exec, and Maurice Maczyk, an 11-year old panhandler, is one of this season's most heart-warming stories.
The book's title comes from an ancient Chinese proverb, which deems an invisible thread "connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place and circumstance." Laura and Maurice's thread was connected one afternoon back in 1986, when young Maurice, who had not eaten for a day and a half, asked Laura, then 35, for spare change on the street outside her Manhattan apartment. When he explained that he was hungry, she took him for lunch at McDonald's, and afterwards, for a walk through Central Park. The two shared meals, conversations, and small celebrations for the next 25 years.
Readers will cheer on this pair from vastly different worlds who agree to come together weekly for food and friendship. Maurice's life reads like a modern-day Dickens tale. He barely knew his father and his mother was a drug addict. He grew up in some of New York City's toughest housing projects and welfare hotels in the worst neighborhoods. Until he met Laura, he had never known anyone with a job. Knowing Maurice, meanwhile, allowed Laura to satisfy a maternal desire that remained unfulfilled despite two marriages (she writes in the book's afterward, "Maurice was and is the child I always wanted and dreamed of having"). Weaved between Maurice's heartbreaking hardships are Laura's recollections of a suburban LI childhood that was happy on the surface but darkened by an alcoholic father's abusive rages. She knew first-hand that Maurice, trying to make sense of a chaotic world with unpredictable adults, needed a sense of stability and reliability, and in their weekly meetings, she was happy to provide that to him.
An Invisible Thread is a quick read. Rachael Ray, who welcomed the pair on her show when the book debuted in early November, declared she finished it in one sitting; after seeing Laura and Maurice speak with co-author Alex Tresniowski at Huntington's Book Revue, I purchased and read the entire book in a weekend (and I've got two kids in diapers!)
Chris Gardner, bestselling author of The Pursuit of Happyness says "An Invisible Thread is a story about the power each of us has to elevate some else's life…" Indeed, busy parents will surely be inspired by this book, refreshed by its message of hope and grateful for its gentle reminder of what an honor and privilege it is to care for children.

All the American Flags On the Moon Are Now White
NASA has finally answered a long-standing question: all but one of the six American flags on the Moon are still standing up. Everyone is now proudly talking about it. The only problem is that they aren't American flags anymore. They are all white.
So America f*ck yeah, right? Not quite. While the $5.50 nylon flags are still waving on the windless orb, they are not flags of the United States of America anymore. All Moon and material experts have no doubt about it: the flags are now completely white. If you leave a flag on Earth for 43 years, it would be almost completely faded. On the Moon, with no atmospheric protection whatsoever, that process happens a lot faster. The stars and stripes disappeared from our Moon flags quite some time ago.
There's probably something poetic to be said here about failed nationalism, but I'll just go with "The moon is not having any of your colonial-nationalist shit."
The United States has graciously decided to accept the moon's unconditional surrender.

Hi just downloaded and built oom2, all went well. It runs fine. But is
there any way to set the install libdir ? I have a 64 bit system with
32 bit libs in /usr/lib which is where oom2 installs its files. A
fairly minor niggle I know but if there is a quick fix I would be
grateful. I did some greping in the src and OOMidi_LIB_DIR would seem
to be the variable to set but it seems to have no effect.
Thanks & keep up the good work

Public Drinking Water Notice
Facilities management announced Tuesday that coliform bacteria was found in Western Illinois drinking water. The report says that the microorganisms were found on August sixth. Immediately after the report was given, a boil order was announced to the University. Additionally within twenty-four hours, all 5 sites in Macomb took new water samples. To take even more precaution, management tested the water up and down stream at each site. All test results showed no signs of coliform bacteria present.
Coliform bacteria is naturally present in the environment. It generally is not harmful by itself. However when the bacteria is found in water test results, it is a warning that other potentially harmful bacteria are present. In Macomb's case, very high levels of coliform were found. This gave management a warning that there could potentially be a major issue with the cities water supply.
A high level of coliform in the water system usually means that there is a problem with the treatment or distribution system. Problems with these systems could lead to Fecal coliform or E. coli being present in the water. After several more tests, management said that they did not find any of these bacteria in their subsequent testing. They also mentioned that after further testing was taken the problem was resolved.
For more information on how you can test your water for coliform bacteria visit http://www.thisland.illinois.edu/57ways/57ways_35.html

The onus of the cancellation of UFC 151 fell squarely on the shoulders of UFC light heavyweight champion Jon 'Bones' Jones, whether he actually deserved it or not.
When Jones' opponent Dan Henderson was forced off the card with a knee injury, the UFC came up with Chael Sonnen as a suitable replacement, but the champion decided that only having 8 days to prepare was not nearly enough after consulting with his coach Greg Jackson.
A few hours later UFC 151 was cancelled, and UFC President Dana White was saying, 'UFC 151 will be remembered as the event Jon Jones and Greg Jackson murdered'.
While the blame that day seem to fall directly on Jones' head, many other fighters, journalists and fans stood up for his decision to not play ball by the UFC's rules. Many agreed that every fighter should have the right to be fully prepared for any opponent if they choose, and no one fighter can be blamed for an event being cancelled.
Jones later apologized on Twitter taking the full brunt for the card's cancellation, but the criticism hasn't stopped from some corners of the world and the light heavyweight champion's latest rebuttal won't soothe any still open wounds from the card that would have taken place on Saturday night.
Early in the day on Saturday a fan wrote on Twitter, 'Thanks to @JonnyBones I have no plans tonight'.
More MMA
Rather than let the comment slide, Jones opted to respond and said 'Thanks to the old man and his knee I don't either'.
The 'old man' of course is referencing Jones' opponent , 41-year old Dan Henderson, who was forced off the card after injuring his knee in training.
While the rebuttal may have simply been a week of frustration building up inside of Jones for taking the blame for UFC 151′s cancellation, the comment certainly rattled more than a few people.
In the big picture, Jones may be right in saying that Henderson's injury ultimately caused this chain reaction of events to get set in motion, but in this case he may have been better off living by the old adage 'let sleeping dogs lie'.
Regardless, Jones will return in a few weeks instead to face Vitor Belfort at UFC 152 in Toronto, while Henderson will continue to rehab his injured knee and hopes to return before the end of 2012.
For more news and rumors follow MMAWeekly.com on Twitter
the belt should be taken from jones ,if your the champ you have to fight who ever they offer ,jones was fit and healthy to go so no excuses prove just how good you are .jones was scared of losing to a real fighter
It was indeed taken. Sonnen now holds 2 belts.
Everyone needs to remember one thing, if the UFC didnt put a card together so heavily reliant on one fight then this would not have happened. And not for one second am i defending jones, he should have taken that fight at least for the fans who've spent money and he's fellow fighters, but it is also the ufc's job to put a card together that can survive on more than one fight. At least hal;f the blame must go on the ufc.
+10 johnsilva!!! I couldn't agree more!! Jon Jones turning down that fight should not have had any bearing on UFC 151. This is not the first time a main event had to be cancelled, but it is the first time the event was cancelled so its not Jon's fault. The UFC should put together a card that can carry itself.
Agreed! They water down the cards so much when certain guys fight! Some of the best cards lately have been the free ones on the networks. If you are banking on one fight to sell your event you should have put together a better overall card!
i'm going to have play devil's advocate here and mention the fact that most of us would have purchased the card based on the one fight. Whether it was vs hendo or sonnen. We were all buying because it was a jon jones fight.
To say the rest of the card is weak is too presumptuous. We don't know what those fights might have produced. Did the card lack other main event fights, yes. But, as the sports grows and the UFC puts on more events to satisfy the fans, the events will most definitely rely heavily on their main event fighters.
Main event fighters sell the card, and the rest of the fighters on the card have the opportunity to gain exposure and develop.
UFC's mistake was they relied on the wrong champion.
We can say it's unfair to put so much pressure or blame on Jones but the kid would have easily pulled in over a mil for this event. Just like in most industries, the higher the pay grade, the higher the expectations and greater responsibilities.
What are you talking about? JBJ said he had no problem fighting sonnen on sept. 22. Just cause the UFC execs wanted him to fight on a weeks notice andhe said no he wasn't running fron chael. he simplysaid i'll fighthim when andwhere I want to fight him. He is the champ.
Listen folks. MMA…..at its highest level ( MMA=UFC/ football = NFL) has a new breed of star. In my opinion, Jones's behavior only elevates this sport. I equate this to the NFL. Look at Ocho Cinco or TO or Ndamukongsu Suh. These highly gifted athletes have a place in that leaque. Some love them, others hate them for what they are doing to the game, but no one can question their ability. Same goes for JBJs. He is talented, gifted, hard working and one of the greatest to grace the sport. He is also ushering in a new type of UFC star. One that is plays by his own rules because he can, he is just that good. He mixes talent with personality (for better or worse). I for one enjoy him for that reason. Get used to Jones and others like him to follow. It is a good thing and will only bring more intrigue to the sport we love.
Hate to burst your bubble kiddo, but Ochocinco and TO were both tossed from the NFL this year.
They sure weren't ambassadors of the sport, that's for damn sure.
Ochostinko and TO both got the boot because they are old and have lost more than just a step, not simply because they are jerks. It could be argued that they could have been cut a little more slack if they had Jerry Rice-like personalities, but talent is what matters and that's the bottom line. There are still plenty of nefarious guys in thriving in the NFL, such as Dez Bryant and Kenny Britt, and as long as they can run and catch at the highest level (and not actually rape or murder anyone else) they will continue to grab money, spotlight, and headlines.
i would encourage u to think about what your saying, if there are more like jbj in the future who controll the descions and who they fight and when, then what u end up with eventually is BOXING! Where no president or owner ones the show, but instead fighters and there managers! This will eventually kill the sport like it has boxing if it keeps going that way with more fighters. Mma needs a president/leader/boss, whatever u would like to call him. If u lose a boss then the workers do what they want! means ducking fights,picking hand fed challengers, pretty much boxing. I for one hope dana or somebody will always have majority controll and descide the matches.
As a champion and fighter, wouldn't you know who possible replacements would be? I'm a fan and respect Jones but I'm sure he's seen Chael and other guys fight before. He was in top shape training for Henderson and possibly other guys weren't in camp. Chael trains all the time so he was in shape I'm sure but other guys may have taken time off and offered to step in for several reasons. He's still young though and can say what he wants; it just comes down to someone shutting him up if they don't like what he has to say.
Chael is Henderson without the KO power. Jones has been training for a wrestler with KO power. Then he gets offered a fight with a wrestler without KO power and turns it down???? I agree as a champion you should know all your possible opponents. I think it was an A-hole move to Throw blame on Henderson. It was not Hendos fault he gets hurt. It wasn't Jones fault either he just had an opportunity to save it.
hendo knew weeks in advance he was injured and decided to step out at the last minute. He trained for weeks with the injury and said nothing till 8 days prior to the fight. I like Hendo, but i think he should have said something way before he did. And fighting a south paw is totally different than fighting a a fighter who fights orthodox, its a whole new ballgame. JBJ is a good fighter because he is a smart fighter. No matter what anyone says, he did what he felt was best for him, and theres nothing wrong with that.
weak fight card, don't depend on one guy to carry the whole event. I know henderson was on it too, but i was looking forward to the ass kicking jones was going to give henderson and that's about it.
Dana White is an unbelievable hypocrite. When the MMA community started asking for a possible Anderson Silva vs. Nick Diaz fight for the 185lb title, his response was: "That's stupid. Nick Diaz just lost for the 170lb title, so what makes people think he should be the next challenger for a higher weight class title." I agreed with that statement 100%. But this is literally EXACTLY the same situation, Sonnen got beat decisively by Silva, hasn't had any fights at 205 in years, and Dana wanted him to take Hendo's place for the main event? And he's upset and putting all the blame on Jones and his coach?? Dana White is just crying like a bi### because he had to waste money and the work for this UFC event, but that is NOT Jon Jones' problem or his fault. Dana also said that "Chael Sonnen will not talk his way to a title shot, he'll need at least three BIG WINS to get a title shot" HAHAHAHA more going back on his word from the UFC president, such a money-grubbing motherf###er who doesn't realize he contradicts himself on everything, & it doesn't help that you have a weak main card PPV that your trying to sell with 1 fight. Maybe if you actually had a stacked card this wouldn't happen.
Finally, somebody got it right.
Fianlly! Someone got it wrong! Dana White may be a hypocrite, but not in this case. He called every available fighter to make the event happen. No one would step up. Chael was a last resort. Dana was doing his best to save the show and put out a fire. The two cases are completely unrelated, because this is an emergency situation. Had there been no emergency, Sonnen wouldn't have been offered the fight and would be in a similar situation to Diaz.
The fact is Jones ad been training he had no excuse not to take the fight. It's funny, when Rashad got injured while training for Shogun, Jones jumped at the chance to fight for the title on short notice and Shogun, like a champion accepted the match up. Now the positions are reversed. Jones is the champ, the challenger gets hurt, Sonnen steps up. and Jones like a B#### refuses the fight.
Now tell me who the hypocrite is.
So every other available fighter turned down a title fight and JBJ gets all the blame because he was the last one to say no, lol. And he should just fight a guy who hasn't earned it cause the fans say so and Dana was gonna rip everyone off with a crap card. Got it!
Wow! Again you miss the point completely! It isn't the fact that Jones was the last one to say "no." The facts were that 1.He had already been training. 2. He was was already on the card, headlining it. This is about backing out of a fight, not turning a fight down. Can't you see the difference? No one else had been training. Jones had. No one else's pictures were on the posters. Jones' were. Granted the UFC could have put together a stronger undercard, but they didn't. All of these facts were evident before Jones before Jones backed out of the main event by refusing to fight Sonnen. The whole thing boils down to the fact that Jones was able to fight and in top form, but he wasn't willing. If both fighters had been hurt and the UFC couldn't put together a main event to save the event, then they would be to blame. However, they were able to scramble put together a fight that a lot of fans would have enjoyed and then Jones had to blow the whole thing.
The point is it doesnt matter if he was training, he was training to fight Hendo. And as I stated above, hendo knew weeks before the event he was injured and said nothing till 8 days prior. That in itself is unprofessional and there should be something to be said about that also. Maybe they should write in the contract that fighters are obligated to save an event if the promoters put together a crappy card? I just don't think JBJ is at total fault. DW,JS, and DH should be taking some of the blame as well.
Jones had plenty to do tonight. He ducked instead. Coward ass bitch. Can't wait to see this kid loose. I really think that Hendo would of KO'd his ass tonight. Just hope Vitor gets a solid shot in.
Does this man have no self control? Dude- stay off twitter! (Guess that apology he issued earlier this week was not sincere- shocking!)
What does Greg Jackson's knee have to do with it? Heh. Because that's who told him not to fight.
Thing is, Jon went back on his word. In a prior interview he said he'd fight Chael any time, any where.
I believe Dan was injured for longer than we knew….explains why Chael was talking smack for weeks on end. I don't hold fault on Jon Jones for not fighting Chael with 3 days to prepare. I think Team Quest was training Chael all along.
Then you're calling Dan a liar, he denied those allegations.
Didn't realize they had asked him….when was this?
hello? Usually a question is followed with an answer. Your lack of skills in responding lead me to believe Hendo was never asked this question and I DO BELIEVE TEAM QUEST KNEW for an extended period of time.
He did know weeks before he announced it,
"First of all, Jon Jones has been getting smacked around pretty good in the media for whatever role he played in the undoing of UFC 151. However, his slated opponent, Dan Henderson, came out and announced that he had suffered his MCL injury weeks earlier and trained through it. That admission from "Hendo" has some of you in a huff, wondering how the Olympian got off scot-free." -SD.com Staff
wow, Mark Ronin, where you at biitch??? 201 nugga!!
I don't think Chael knew. But even if he did, so what I'd he pre-trains for jones, so the fight is a -500 and not a -750, right?
What's Jones complaining about?
He will be fighting another old man in Belfort, and still may fight old man Hendo later on.
Keep playing it safe Jones, fight guys past their prime that you know you can beat, pad your record as "champ".
God forbid that you take a competitive match against a peer the same age range as you again.
It's too high risk and low reward. Keep taking the easy fights and duck a fight when you feel fear.
Or maybe we got it all wrong.
You do have it wrong. As mentioned before, he already said he would fight Sonnen on the 22nd. You idiots sit behind a computer and talk smack because a fighter didn't do what you wanted him to do. It's not your careers or livelihood on the line. If he was trying to pad his record he wouldn't have fought his last 4 opponents. There's nothing wrong with making smart decisions in life when it comes to your career. Being a "warrior" isn't always about being reckless and stupid, it's about being smart and prepared.I hope Gargamel catches you someday, lmbo!
hey dumbass, jbj was offered the Chael fight on the 22 and turned that down too.. He turned the Chael fight down twice.. No your shit.
Big perm, even Greg Jackson said jbj would fight Sonnen with proper notice. Just cause I didnt happen when you wanted it to happen doesn't make it a bad decision. All you so called "true fans" who would rather see a trash talking clown fight for a title than a true contender are the dumb asses.
Dude know your facts! Bones said yes to the fight on sept. 22. People like you should drive me crazy. Lay off Bones he is the best fighter of all time and he was only doing what his coach advised home to do
"You idiots sit behind a computer and talk smack"
i am an active amateur MMA fighter living in Vegas. Stop trolling girl.
Jones last 4 opponents?-Machida and Evans-yeah 2 competitive fights-2!, Shogun-past his prime even thought he's still young-you ever met him, or trained with him-i thought not! the janitor and Rampage-both past their prime, both punched in for a paycheck,as for Vera-when's the last time he ever won a fight?
Jones is padding his record with Belfort, everyone knows it but you, troll.
Now tell me what Sonnen has done to earn a shot? If being young and talkin shit gets you a shot, you should be there in no time.
Chael is no spring chicken either
Between this gem and the "I was going to pay everyone's salary on the undercard but they were mean to me so now I won't", its official! JBJ is a total db.
DB for sure! I always pay bills for my haters!
No, DB for sure for even mentioning it at all. Either do it or shut up. But its definitely a punk move to say "I thought about it, but changed my mind". We all think about a lot of things…it means nothing! and his pseudo offer means even less than nothing because he is actually blaming undercard fighters for the fact that he rescinded his non existent offer of hypothetical money because of their perceived bad behavior. hence- his DB status.
Just like he was blamed for fighters not being paid. I believe his signature was on one contract, and that was to fight Hendo. Danas was prolly on all of them. Its fine for everyone to talk him down, but he replies and he's a DB? Give me a break, not everything in life is gonna go your way. Sonnen said he would retire if AS beat him, and he's still here trying to talk his way into title fights, but no one held him to that?
Again, soboc, I no longer care about the "blame game" for 151 or Sonnen. My issue is his unsportsmanlike behavior NOW.
-If you are going to accept the blame (which he and his cross did), then ACCEPT it and shut up. The cheap shot at Hendo shows he really does not think he's at fault. Which is FINE except that HE said he was.
-If you are going to pay undercard, then pay it. No one expected it, right? And he certainly did not have to do it. But to say "I was but now I am not" and then blame the other fighters is insulting. He should be reprimanded/fined for that. It was absolutely unprofessional and unsportsmanlike.
Adriana, i get where you're coming from, but a lot of fighters made unsportsmanlike/unprofessional comments towards him as well. Why should he be the only one to get reprimanded/fined?
i do hope you lose, assh
Alright two bad examples…..should have thought about those two first. My point stands, simple insert other professional athletes in place of the two mentioned. They are entertaining regardless if you root for them or against them. I do not agree with JBJs decision to not take the fight, just trying to draw a comparable line that he has his place in professional sports and could bring additional interest to UFC. I do agree 1982, it is a slippery slope to have guys picking and choosing opponents. We certainly don't want to compromise competition.
The problem with Jones, and i hate that the media hasn't picked up on this, is that he speaks out of both sides of his mouth. It is one this to be a chael who is crazy and will say anything to hype himself or a fight. Koschek is a cocky jerk. Rashaad is annoyingly arrogant. I don't like any of those guys, but they are true to who they are. Jones says "I'll never do something dumb, like get a dui." We all know what happened next. He says he'll never fight rashaad and we know what happened next. Jones said that he didn't want to fight machida because he wouldn't make any money, then he turns down Chael and we all know that would have been bought more than any other pay per view he has been in yet. Wait it gets better. He tell Dana he has enough money, what? I could go on forever. Its not about him not taking the fight or even about his attitude. It's about him being extremely naive and immature. He can overcome this but I don't think the media is doing a good job of holding him accountable on the things he says.
Yo myrfsurf r u blind? jones fought rashad who was a champ and lost once machida too and before jone shogun was all high an mighty jones broke him for his next two fights. So who the r u talking about that he took easy fights? and u jones hater r so pathetic its so funny to read ur pathetic comments. i dont no y sh##y ppl clinch on to someone who's just doing good. dana got pissed couse his ppv didnt work couse he streches all the ppv card to make up for fox fx and fuel and he needed to find some one pointing fingers even thought i usually or just respect wat he says becouse i understand he no more then most of use but (even thought im not complaining). look at ufc on fox five BBJ PENN CS RORY MCDONLD NOT EVEN A CO FO A FREE CARD!!!!!!!!!!! ALEXANDER GUSTOFSUN WHO IS 13-1 5 fight win streak 4 of those he stopped SHOGUN COMING OF TWO CRAZY FIGHTS PLUSE IF ALEX WINS HES PROB GONNA FIGHT FOR THE TITLE AND HENDERSON OK LAST FIGHT AGINST EDGAR WAS NOT SO WELL VS NATE WHIS KILL EVERONE AND ITS A TITLE FIGHT also mick swick shuab and johnson on PRELIM OF OFF A FREE CARD COME ON DANA U NO Y THAT CARD FAILED
Jones isn't doing himself any PR favours that's for sure. I mean first he comes out saying that he was "thinking" about paying fighter fees for the cancelled event but didn't after the smack talk. Now he calls one of the most respected fighters an "old man" wtf. I mean I respect Jones as a fighter but he is now suspect as an individual.
what f–king world do i live in? chael sonnen deserves a title fight in every weightclass and dana white isn't responsible for what goes on in his orginization.
go ahead and blame jones, blame greg 'the sport killer' jackson. but where's the blame for hendo, where's the blame for dana and joe?
the hate spilling out of this sight for jon jones is so strange. it's his career, it's his belt and it's his life. he has the right to do what he feels is best for said career…and if he doesn't have that right to choose, then why didn't dana tell him that he had to fight sonnen or silva or whoever stepped up to make themselves look good? if dana white had really wanted to save the card, he would have done it…come on people, this was just a big dana white publicity stunt(and it obviously worked…you all bit hook, line and sinker).
and anyway, i just don't see anything wrong about jones taking care of his business…and that's all that it is, a business.
I thought jon had nothing to do because they put that breathalyzer in his car? im so confused
Jones ran to Dana White and asked him to have Sonnen stop calling him out. Guy is a homo. How people still stick up for this guy is forever beyond me.
Yes. The UFC is spreading itself very thin with all these shows. They are part to blame. But when a company loses millions of dollars because a "champion" is afraid to fight someone that might give him some "problems" in a fight, there's gonna be mad issues. End of. They flat out told him what was at stake. He said no. AGAIN and AGAIN.
What people aren't getting about this is beyond me.
agreed, its like when you buy a product that sucks, you don't take it out on the company, you let the CSR take all the crap and complaining.
To me, the issue is no longer "who's fault is it?". 151 is dead- doesn't really matter at this point who killed it.
The issue is that JBJ will not shut up. He can not expect this to go away if he keeps giving apologies then taking cheap shots and blaming others. And he SHOULD want to this go away because he looks more and more like a jackass with each new thing. And if he doesn't learn to keep his trap shut, there will surely be another new thing. and another. and another.
Um that old man would of ko you JBJ. And you ducked sonnen so if you accepted that fight we would of been watching ufc 151 tonight.
See, you would have missed it either way, it would have been last night not tonight.
Why the hell would he start talking shit about Hendo for no reason? Injurys are a part of the sport. He's becoming more and more of a douche. It sickens me that I once called myself a Jones fan
he just doesn't know when to stop
soboc1- I would have answered you under your last response to me, but it wouldn't let me
I think he should be reprimanded/fined by the UFC because he is the LHW champ and should be held to a higher standard (all title-holders should IMO.) The $ comment he made (and we only have Rivera's word) really is the most egregious to me- it smacks of him feeling he is everyone's dad or boss and he is somehow entitled and able to mete out punishment to other fighters. He is seriously power-tripping, and that should be stopped.
Thanks for having a civil dialogue with me btw.
No problem. Can't do that with too many people here, lol
Ain't that the truth. I love reading differing POV here- I learn a lot, but the enjoyment can be overshadowed by the nastiness. Usually, I won't read a comment if it starts out "____, you are such a ______". What significant point could possibly be made by that person?
Oh, and that statement I made about champs and higher standards will NOT apply to Nate Diaz. Or Nick Diaz for that matter. They are exempt and are allowed to run buck wild. And I have no reasoning behind this- its "just because", ok?
Thats cuz they'll never be champs! ewww Burn! jk I don't like their attitude, but they're not in the UFC for their attitude either, they are both entertaining to watch. I say Nate becomes champ before Nick though.
They both will be UFC champs at some point. And I love their "death before disloyalty" attitude- they must have been Sicilian in another life, I swear.
