Top 10 ranked heavyweight Roy Nelson faces No. 2 ranked Daniel Cormier in the UFC 166: Velasquez vs. dos Santos 3 co-main event on Oct. 19. If he defeats the undefeated Cormier, Nelson expects to be in line for a title shot.
"DC is top of the food chain. The only other person that's before him is dos Santos and dos Santos is already fighting for the belt. So I look at DC as a guy to beat and you get the belt shot," Nelson recently told MMA's Great Debate podcast. "If I can beat DC, I'm fighting for the belt next."
Nelson is coming off of a loss in his last outing. He accepted a short-notice fight against Stipe Miocic at UFC 161 and was soundly defeated by unanimous decision. The fight was the last on Nelson's previous contract, but he has no regrets about the way it's played out.
"Everything worked out. I'm in the UFC. I'm fighting the No. 2 guy in the world. Everything works," said Nelson.
The Las Vegas native recently inked a new nine-fight deal with the promotion with the goal of fighting for the championship.
More MMA
"There's not too many people that can get a nine-fight deal out of the UFC. I'm a staple in the UFC, and they know the type of fans that I bring and what kind of entertainment value that I have for the UFC," he said.
"It ended up working out in my favor. I'm fighting my last fight. I got more money, and now I get a chance to fight for the belt. That's basically my goal," added Nelson. "I've got my goals and the UFC helped me and we laid it out, the best way to accomplish my goals. As long as they can make money off me, they don't really care."
UFC 166 is headlined by the heavyweight title fight between champion Cain Velasquez and former titleholder Junior dos Santos. Dos Santos holds a win over Nelson, but the 37-year-old feels he has unfinished business with the Velasquez. According to Nelson, the two were supposed to fight in 2006, but Velasquez turned down the fight. If given the choice, Nelson would rather face Velasquez.
"Probably Cain because I've already fought Junior, and I'm always about fighting everybody at least once," he said. "I was supposed to fight Cain in my sixth fight ever in MMA and he turned that down so it's definitely a fight that I'd like to fight."
If a title fight doesn't materialize for Nelson, he'd like to get opponents that he considers legends in the heavyweight division.
"The goal is to get to the title. If I've got to sit back and wait for a couple of different things to fall into place, I'll fight people that I've always wanted to fight, legends in the sport," he said. "Like Big Nog (Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira)."

Loool !!!
I love Big Country but he aint gettin a title shot. Fabricio, Barnett, & Browne are ahead of him, plus he already lost to Stipe & Mir. He's still about 3 wins away
In theory I agree with you, especially coming off of a loss (short notice or not). But DC has got a ton of hype behind him (well deserved), plus he has wins over Mir and Barnett, so I think if Big Country beats him, it puts Roy maybe one fight away from a shot at the belt, especially if he wins by KO or Sub. I love this fight because both guys are similar size (minus the belly) with huge power and both guys have world class ground games. The one question yet to be answered is can DC handle Roy's power? We know Roy has a chin (probably the best in MMA) but does Daniel? Can't wait to find out!
The problem is 3 of his last 4 wins are against guys that aren't even in the UFC anymore. The other was against Mitrione who was filling in for Carwin. He's lost anytime he fought one of the top heavyweights and got beaten pretty badly by Miocic. He really shouldn't even be fighting the #2 heavyweight but even if he beats him I still think he needs to beat a couple more top 10 guys to prove he can do it.
So true.
Roy beats cans and loses to mid-tier guys like Mir. Then he lost to Stipe.
And he expects a title shot if (big if!) he beats DC.
How about this. You beat DC, you can get a rematch against JDS.
You lose to DC, you can get out of the UFC.
Not to mention Roy's rocky relationship w/ Dana. Even if he did deserve a title shot, I'd be interested to see if Dana would put him in.
The only thing funnier then Nelson asking for a title shot is Jake Shields asking for another title shot.
SHields has a better chance to beat GSP than Nelson beating Cain.
Both have zero chance of ever becoming champions the main difference is that Nelson is in a weaker division with less contenders.
weaker division. Pffff. This is 2013 bro. The HW division is stacked!
JDS, DC, Werdum, Barnett, Browne, Stipe, Bigfoot, Mir, and even Reem are ahead of Roy Nelson.
Just by looking at that roster, I would not say that the HW division is weak by any means.
it is improved yes but its still weak..compare it to other divisions in the ufc and besides the 125 division it is probably the 2nd weakest weight class.
The heavyweight division is the strongest its ever been. They have a ton of talent. Yes the welterweight division is the most stacked but Shields can beat GSP. You have to remember Shields was cutting waight down to 170. He has to get used to that cut.
Again…Shields has far more of a better chance to beat GSP than Nelson beating Cain. Matter of fact GSP might get KO'd by Hendricks. You watch GSP just keep doing his boring jab. GSP isnt an exciting fighter, and I like GSP.
Any division that has antonio silva abd frank mir ranked top 10 is weak to say the least. I agree that is has been weaker in the past but a whole lot of improvement is still required.
You mean the same Mir that beat big Nog twice and almost ripped out his shoulder in the 2nd win? Or the same Mir that KO'd Crocop and Kongo? Or the Silva that KOd Overeem? Hate to say this bur Cormier didn't look impressive against Mir.
As I said yet again…Shields has a better chance at beating GSP than Nelson winning the belt.
Yes that same frank Mir that lost his last 3 fights. The same Frank Mir that beat an old Big Nog that is a shadow of what he once was. The same Frank Mir that beat a CropCop that was outmatched by Brendan Schaub and yes the same Frank Mir that beat the mma machine Check Kongo that was so good that the UFC recently fired him. Yes we are talking about the same living legend called frank Mir…
Yes the same Frank Mir that was once UFC champion.
And I will say Once again…Shields has a better shot at being Welterweight champ and beating GSP than Nelson has at being heavyweight champ.
You're living in the past. As unimpressive as DC was Mir looked far worse.
Wow no kidding. Thanks for telling me what I already know.
Agreed. They both need one more big win.
I like big country but how is he going to get a title shot after he got owned by Stipe? Sorry but it isnt going to happen.
That fight was a favor to save the card (and he probably shouldn't have even been in the cage that night). Situations like that take nothing away from Nelson, in my eyes. He just stood there gasping like a punching bag [still barely phased] because he was down for UFC. 'Happy birthday' for Stipe…
But, regardless..
If Cormier is ranked #3 in the World at Heavyweight, and Nelson beats him, then guess what?
Title shot…MAYBE if he goes out and just destroys DC…but it would have to be a VERY one sided quick fight. If he finishes him…then I could see him being in a #1 contenders fight for the next shot after Fabricio. A decision win…puts him still one fight away from a #1 contenders fight.
No, Roy. Just no…
What are all these guys drinking asking for title shots lately?

Web Wednesdays offer straight talk to anyone wanting to harness the power of the web, which is now more than a 'maybe' in business, it is an absolute necessity. I will be continuing to invite my clients to the Web Wednesday events to enhance their knowledge and demystify the world of marketing online."
Darryl Clark, Damp Solutions Australia
"Thanks for a very informative and impressive informational lessons presented the last two days, it has been a real eye opener and will sky rocket many businesses including my own. Thanks again for all your help."
Barbara Haddon, Learn2Live
"Simply, Yvette and her team know their stuff and they deliver a quality product. In my particular case, Yvette has been incredibly patient and supportive during my steep learning curve and various other unexpected issues! Thanks heaps to you and your team, Yvette."
Mandy Hargreaves, Director of Shopping by Appointment
"On day one of going live with my website I booked a shopping party - one of the services I offer...Yeah!! The potential of my new website is unreal and so exciting. I could not have got it done without the support from the Creative Collective team. Best of all I know I still have help when ever I need it. I can see exciting possibilities for my business that I would never have explored before so thanks heaps Creative Collective."
Jason Gray, Director of Cookies and Cream
"In just four short months, Yvette has managed to turn our business around from someone who had been seriously shafted by our existing web developer and ready to throw in the towel, to owners of a website with huge improvements on the original one, and now enjoying huge dividends. We've tripled our database from 600 to 2075 in this first quarter, set up an emarketing system which we don't know what we would do without now, and grown our online sales from $2000 a month to $6000 a month. We've also gone from not even featuring on the front page of Google for numeroushighly competitive words. This is just so exciting. we can't recommend Yvette highly enough."
Nicky Jardine, Practice Manager, Medicine on Second (Queensland Practice of the Year)
"I have worked with Yvette as the practice manager of two busy medical practices over a period of three years. Yvette has been extremely respectful and understanding of the unique and highly regulated industry we operate within and has opened our eyes to many innovative strategies available to businesses, including ours. As crazy as at it sounds, it is still not even uncommon for medical practices to even have a website and many do not see the need to market, or only stick to very traditional marketing strategies such as advertising and flyer drops.
Yvette has assisted our practice to become a real pioneer in our industry by introducing various functionalities which have successfully assisted us to grow our patient list, and to service our existing patient list more effectively.
We now have the ability for new patients to register at our practice online and our existing patients to book appointments online a quick, discreet and easy way for our patients to communicate with us. She has also assisted to develop our brand including expansions within the company, to win business awards by encouraging us to enter relevant awards and assisting us in the application process, developing hugely successful community initiatives and fundraising drives and secure a significant of media coverage and much more! We are so confident in Yvette's abilities we have recommended her to many of our colleagues."
Jeff May, Beach House Fitness Maroochydore
"Although I've only been working with Yvette for a short time, I already feel like the few changes we've implemented have been EXTREMELY beneficial to our business. We are quite astounded by how subtle the changes can may seem, but how dramatic the effect on the increase in leads and conversions can be. We believe our leads are up 40% and our conversions from prospective to new clients have alsodramatically increased. We are very excited about our future relationship with Yvette and The Creative Collective."
Nikki Arnold, Sales & Administration Manager
"I'd like to say thank you again for the great work your team did in creating our new website.TCC came to the rescue when we needed our old website updated urgently after a business name change & to include eCommerce. Not only did they attend to the briefing, but they gave the whole website a complete fresh overhaul. We love it! The team were professional, understanding of our needs & worked fast. And it was all done in ONE DAY. Thank you TCC!"

Pink Poodle
This electric pink ice cream soda gets its name from the frothy bubble effect created by the marriage of seltzer and ice cream. Brooklyn Farmacy soda jerk Peter Freeman uses Brooklyn's own P&H Hibiscus Syrup, but you can also make your own by steeping hibiscus tea in hot simple syrup for a few minutes.

Angostura Phosphate
Like most drinks of its kind, this simple soda-fountain classic started as a cure-all tonic for a long list of ailments. Darcy O'Neil, the chemist and bartender who revived the drink in his 2010 book Fix the Pumps (the drink originally appeared in R. de Fleury's 1800 and All That - Drinks Ancient and Modern), makes his own lemon syrup. A commercial version, such as the one made by Monin, can be substituted. O'Neil also makes acid phosphate, which can be purchased via his website, artofdrink.com.
1 oz. lemon syrup1 tsp. Angostura bitters½ tsp. acid phosphate Chilled soda water
Ice cubes, optionalGlass: highball
Combine syrup, bitters and acid phosphate in a highball. Add ice cubes if desired. Top with chilled seltzer. Serve with a straw.
For the lemon syrup: Combine 2 tsp. gum arabic and 1/2 tsp. lemon oil with 2 tsp. sugar. Set aside. Dissolve 1 cup sugar in the juice of 8 lemons. Add the gum arabic mixture to the lemon juice mixture and dissolve, heating if necessary.

Agua de Limón con Chia
This agua fresca recipe from Mexican pastry chef Fany Gerson combines whole limes, water and chia seeds, the latter of which take an "awesome gummy texture" when soaked in liquid, according to Gerson. And since the recipe calls for using whole limes (peel included), try to buy organic if possible.3 large limes, quartered4 cups water1/2 cup sugar, or more if needed1/4 cup chia seedsIce cubesTools: blender, fine-mesh sieveBlend the limes, water and sugar in a blender and pulse 3-4 times, just enough to extract the juice from the limes but not crush the skins (which would make the drink too bitter). Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher. Taste and add more sugar, if you like. Whisk in the chia seeds and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, until completely chilled. Stir before serving, and serve over ice.

I finally feel like I've reached all my weight loss goals over the past 2 years. It's been a trip & I've had numerous obstacles & set backs.. But one thing I never did was give up or quit. And for that, I'm extremely proud of myself.
Simply having a wonderful Christmas time.
My journey thus far.
In January of 2011 I made the BEST decision of my life; I invested in a personal trainer. I was depressed, out of shape, and my diet was shitty to say the least.
Before I knew it I began to see my body changing. I was heading in the right direction of getting my old/high school body back & I couldn't have been more thrilled.
My trainer turned in to so much more than just a trainer. We formed a friendship. Something I will forever cherish.
It's now been approximately a year and a half since I started this journey. I've had set backs (oh hey remember when I broke my foot back in February!? Yeah that was cool. Not.) I've had plateaus. I've gone off track. But the ONE thing I haven't done is throw the towel in. I have not and I will not give up on my goals. I refuse.
The picture I posted isn't my before and after. The one on the left is from four weeks ago. It just goes to show how much MY body changes in as little as 28 days! This is what keeps me going.
And I won't stop until I feel as though I am the best possible version of myself that I can be.
Wine night.
Hi tumblr, I'm blonde again!
'Cause I am due for a miracle. I'm waiting for a sign. I'll stare straight into the sun and I won't close my eyes 'til I understand or go blind.
Red, white, blue's in the sky. Summer's in the air and baby, heaven's in your eyes. (Taken with Instagram)

Baseball To Meet Notre Dame This Weekend
March 19, 2010
Michigan State (9-4) vs. Notre Dame (7-8)
Saturday, March 20 12:00 p.m.
Saturday, March 20 3:30 p.m.
Sunday, March 21 1 p.m.
Best Start Since 2002
MSU Meets Notre Dame For Three
Spartans Go 4-2 on Shortened Spring Trip
Solid All Around
The major reason for the Spartans' strong start has been their play in all facets of the game. At the plate, MSU's .311 batting average (third), .442 slugging percentage (second) and .407 on-base percentage (second) all rank in the top three in the conference. The Spartan pitching staff is holding opponents to a conference-low .273 batting average. Defensively, the Spartans have committed just eight errors, four fewer than the next closest team in the Big Ten. Their .984 fielding percentage is tops in the league.
Felt Leadinig by Example
Achter Paces Pitching Staff
Despite solid performances in his first three starts, it took Achter until his fourth game of the year to get his first win. Achter got plenty of run support as he went seven complete innings in the Spartans' 17-2 romp over Jacksonville State on March 11.

A collection of my femmeslash drabbles for hpfem100 on LiveJournal. These drabbles will contain SPOILERS!
Author: DMitchell1985
Word Count: 100
Rating: PG - erh, for femmeslash kissing. . .?
Characters: Minerva McGonagall and Molly Weasley
Written for: hpfem100 on LiveJournal
Though Potter was poised to claim a place in the Order that Minerva had hoped he would not see for many years past, the blow was not as severe as it could have been.
With a stolen press of Molly's palm against her own, the restless desperation, which had seemingly swallowed the whole of Minerva's resolve, calmed. She knew that if she was to resurrect the fallen school, and support Potter in the mission Albus left behind, she would need Molly's infallible strength.
So, Minerva never fought Molly on the nights she pressed both kiss and warm meal on her.

On your overview to this article, you stated Taiwan as "The Otherside of China". May I remind you that Taiwan has never been a part of what we consider as China today. Taiwan actually enjoys de facto independence and operates as a country independent from China. Foreign nationals would be confused if they wanted to visit Taiwan after reading your article by your implication that Taiwan is also China. A Chinese visa is not going to allow anyone to enter Taiwan. You'll need a visa issued by the Taiwanese government in order stay and go to Taiwan. Please correct the mistake, so your article doesn't misled the readers. Thank you.

Yangminshan Park, a vast mountain park situated on the outskirts of Taipei is a really nice place to go for hiking and for taking in great views of Taipei. There are several peaks to climb, sulphur springs and even some historical buildings there. The park is easily accesible by public bus.

There are many many places in Taiwan worth going, but I reserve my highest recommendation for Hualian County. It is home to the most picturesque views of the ocean in all of Taiwan. While driving on the winding roads with the mountains beside you and the ocean before you, Hualian county is literally picture perfect. One must also visit the Toroko National Park. Many natives have said, if you have not visited Toroko NP, you have not visited Taiwan.

Crayfish Harbor Fungus That's Wiping Out Amphibians
Scientists have found a new culprit in spreading the disease that's been driving the world's frogs to the brink of extinction: crayfish. In the last few decades, the disease caused by the chytrid fungus has been a disaster for frogs and other amphibians. More than 300 species are nearly extinct because of it. Many probably have gone extinct, but it can be difficult to know for sure when a tiny, rare species disappears from the face of the Earth.

Probably better off buying a Napa Gold Filter at the Napa auto parts store and go to a drive through oil changer and tell the attendant you want to use the napa filter and have the oil changed as the filters they use aren't the same quality as the Napa Brand and the oil changer will tell you what weight oil they will use and you should get years of use out of your BMW

Mayor Gavin Newsom and Sup. Bevan Dufty are apparently speaking again, or at least speaking together to other people. We say this because they just issued a press release saying that they've "asked the Port Director to explore the feasibility of having a no-alcohol entertainment event at Piers 30-32 for Wednesday, October 31, 2007." All of which is City goobledegook, which, roughly translated, means, 'We want to hold Halloween on the waterfront, but no, you won't be able to have a stiff drink to take the chilly edge off. '

The Guardian of London has a short but poignant editorial on why the United States, despite a long string of terrible gun-driven tragedies, can't seem to control guns. The rest of the world seems baffled, too.
By the way, Virigina was one of only two states that as recently as 2004 was defying the U.S. Supreme Court and enforcing anti-sodomy laws. So it's perfectly okay to buy guns and kill people in that great state, but you can going to jail for being gay.

PE-backed Vantage Energy postpones IPO: Reuters
U.S. oil and natural gas company Vantage Energy Inc said it has postponed its initial public offering of common shares, citing unfavorable market conditions.
U.S. oil and natural gas company Vantage Energy Inc said it has postponed its initial public offering of common shares, citing unfavorable market conditions.
Oil and gas company Vantage Energy Inc filed with U.S. regulators on Monday to raise about $400 million in an initial public offering of common stock, Reuters reported.
Good morning Hub Readers. Click through for some of the latest news updates from the weekend before the busy week starts.
Energy-focused buyout firm Tenaska Capital Management LLC is preparing to raise its third fund, Buyouts magazine is reporting.
Itron, a provider of energy and water resource management solutions is to acquire Jackson, Mississippi-based SmartSynch in a $100 million transaction. SmartSynch is a provider of point-to-point smart grid solutions that use a cellular network for communications. Backers of the company include Kinetic Ventures, JP Morgan, Endeavor Capital Management, Nth Power, GulfSouth Capital, Siemens Venture […]
The California Public Employees' Retirement System is, as everybody knows, the nation's largest public pension fund with $233.6 billion of assets as of March 31 (the latest figure available, reported today). It also has one of the industry's largest portfolios of private equity investments; its $33.2 billion Alternative Investment Management program represents 14.2% of its total assets.
We thought it would be interesting to find some of the system's top-ranking funds, which it reports on its Web site. The list that follows is current through Sept. 30. Sponsors report mark-to-market values on their portfolios quarterly, and they have 120 days to provide the information to their investors, so there is a two-quarter lag before CalPERS reports individual fund performance to the public.
This slide show is a countdown, presented ranked by investment multiple. (As a point of comparison, when sister publication Buyouts Magazine did its annual ranking of fund performance last fall, based on reports from multiple sponsors, we found that it required a 2.0 investment multiple to crack the top quartile.) We had one tie, at No. 8. There we ranked T3 Partners II LP higher than CVC European Equity Partners III LP because of its larger IRR.
Lime Rock Resources has acquired oil and gas interests in Oklahoma's West Edmund Hunton Lime Unit, for $100 million.
Lime Rock Partners has invested NOK 50 million ($8.45m) into Reelwell, a Norway-based developer of wellbore cleaning and pressure control tech solutions for drilling.
As usual, we have a week's worth of ratings actions on the debt of LBO-backed companies from ratings agencies Moody's Investors Service. This week three companies were a mix: one bankruptcy, one downgrade, and one outlook imrovement.
Company: Electrical Components International
Sponsor: Francisco Partners
Action: Moody's lowered the company's probability of default rating and the corporate family rating to Ca from Caa3 following its filing for protection under Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code on March 30, 2010.
Highlight: The last rating action was on January 6, 2009 at which time Moody's downgraded ECI's corporate family rating to Caa3 from Caa2.
Lime Rock Resources has made two acquisitions: The Potato Hills natural gas field in southeast Oklahoma, and interests in wellbores in the Texas Gulf Coast region adjoining its existing New Years Ridge property. The combined deals were worth $113 million.
Lime Rock Partners has invested $25 million in Expert Petroleum SA, a Romanian rehabilitator of mature oil and gas fields.
As usual, we have a week's worth of ratings actions on the debt of LBO-backed companies from Standard & Poor's Ratings Services and Moody's Investors Service. This week was relatively slow, with the big news coming from the largest LBO of all time, KKR and TPG's buyout of TXU (now known as Energy Future Holdings).
The Texas-based energy giant proposed a distressed debt exchange which will reduce its obscene debt load from $44 billion to $42 billion. Naturally the move warranted a downgrade from both Moody's and S&P. Moody's expressed concerns over "looming maturities" on around $23 billion of debt in 2014, which it said will need to be addressed before 2013. Meanwhile, carbon and mercury legislation threatens the company's "coal-fired margins," Moody's wrote. Read more on the mega-buyout's financial situation below.

Thorogood designed these Women's 6 inch Waterproof/Insulated Sport Uniform boots for paramedics, police officers, and security guards to keep them comfortable on their long work days!
A full grain leather upper was added to these Thorogood uniform boots to provide you with durability, an easy to clean surface, and a professional look to wear on the job. Another characteristic of this uniform boot that will increase durability and extend the life of your boot is the direct injection method used to construct it. The direct injection method takes the leather upper of the boot and attaches it to the outsole by injecting rubber into the outsole mold allowing the leather to adhere to the outsole as the rubber cools and hardens, thus creating a durable bond.
To provide you with plenty of stability and durability, Thorogood added an engineered composite shank to these black uniform boots.
A comfort weave lining has been added to these duty shoes to wick away excess moisture to keep your feet cool and dry no matter what weather conditions you find yourself working in. A durable slip resistant polyurethane rubber outsole has been added to these tactical boots to provide you with plenty of traction so no matter what weather conditions you find yourself working in, you will never have to worry about a slip or fall!
You won't go wrong with these Thorogood Women's 6 inch Waterproof/Insulated Sport Uniform boots that feature comfort, durabiliy, and are easy to care for!

Michelle K., Commitment. (via michellekpoems)
this is me!
This week
Has been by far the busiest week this year and it will only get busier coming up to Christmas. Thursday was ridiculous but we did so well, we've had weeks that have made less than what we did in that one day. I'm so blessed to work with such amazing girls and have such a wonderful work environment and a gorgeous boyfriend who makes my life seven times easier. Life's pretty crazy right now but it's great.

As a student of alchemy, he (and his followers) 'compared the "black work" of the alchemists (the nigredo) with the often highly critical involvement experienced by the ego, until it accepts the new equilibrium brought about by the creation of the self'.[4] Jungians interpreted nigredo in two main psychological senses.
The first represented on the one hand a subject's initial state of undifferentiated unawareness: 'the first nigredo, that of the unio naturalis, is an objective state, visible from the outside only…an unconscious state of non-differentiation between self and object, consciousness and the unconscious'.[5] Here the subject is '"too conscious"…in reality unconscious of the unconscious; i.e. the connection with the instincts'.[6]
In the second sense, 'the nigredo of the process of individuation on the other hand is a subjectively experienced process brought about by the subject's painful, growing awareness of his shadow aspects'.[7] It could be described as a moment of maximum despair, that is a prerequisite to personal development.[8] As individuation unfolds, so 'confrontation with the shadow produces at first a dead balance, a standstill that hampers moral decisions and makes convictions ineffective or even impossible…nigredo, tenebrositas, chaos, melancholia'.[9] Here is 'the darkest time, the time of despair, disillusionment, envious attacks; the time when Eros and Superego are at daggers drawn, and there seems no way forward…nigredo, the blackening'.
Toska - noun /ˈtō-skə/ - Russian word roughly translated as sadness, melancholia, lugubriousness.
No single word in English renders all the shades of toska. At its deepest and most painful, it is a sensation of great spiritual anguish, often without any specific cause. At less morbid levels it is a dull ache of the soul, a longing with nothing to long for, a sick pining, a vague restlessness, mental throes, yearning. In particular cases it may be the desire for somebody of something specific, nostalgia, love-sickness. At the lowest level it grades into ennui, boredom.

I am easily distracted, and can intensely focus only on a thing that is not the thing I am supposed to be doing1. So, instead of making progress past the first page of "Swann's Way"2, I have picked up "A Fan's Notes" by Frederick Exley.
And it is marvelous. I find that I have to read with a pencil in hand because so often I feel compelled to underline what seems as if it is the perfect sentence, or a sentiment is so accurately stated in an unexpected way that it simply must be noted for future reference. I think that if one day I loan the book to someone I will want them to take note, and perhaps they will feel the same way, such that there will be an unspoken dialogue between the two of us. They will nod their head to the "ha!" in the margin next to the underlined "the stillness was of that horrified kind that follows a fart in a Methodist church".
Additionally, neither of these books is getting me any closer to a finished thesis proposal, that was ostensibly due on November 1st.
1I am fully aware that this is not a rare condition.
2I think the problem that I'm having with Proust, is that I have no idea what to feel or think, or even what is happening. This experience isn't just from the first page; I have tried to read "Swann's Way" on quite a few occasions and in my best attempt I made it about sixty pages in. In a recent email, when trying to explain the experience I wrote, "I feel as though one must dive straight in and keep swimming down, down, down, knowing that you may never find the bottom and praying that you have enough air to last with this Proust fellow. I don't know that I'm ready to take that on." Oh dear! How dramatic it all sounds…

I was invited to speak at a Breast Cancer Awareness event in Atlanta. I am so sorry that I was already booked for something else, because I really would have gone and passed out the ABC's of breast cancer brochures and also "The Pill Kills." I am so very glad that the Atlanta Archdiocese is stepping in and asking people not to support Komen because they still give money to Planned Parenthood. Please read the book PLANNED BULLYHOOD.

On Halloween, turnout at the Advaita Meditation Center in Waltham was lower than usual, but still, nearly 30 people filled the rooms of the old Victorian mansion. They attended a variety of classes, from beginning to advanced meditation, or gathered informally at a drop-in session to repeat their mantras and corral their minds.
Charnan Bray, an ESL teacher who lives in Waltham, is a newcomer. She considers herself an on-again off-again meditator who wants to become more serious about her practice. She went through a divorce last year and is looking for a way to become more mindful and reduce the stress in her life.

On October 31st, I had an appointment with Dr. Warren Libman in Bellevue.
I'd been on the hunt for a new prosthodontist since I'd found out that Medicaid was no longer an option with the man I'd seen in August of 2011. I did a little Googling and Dr. Libman had credentials and testimonials that were incredible.
So, this appointment.
Apparently, he was interested in seeing how wide I could open my mouth since, well, I had my teeth out almost seven months ago and after that kind of time frame, it's a little important if he's gonna go shove teeth back in there. Fortunately, my physical therapist had given me a stick with a huge wax ball on it to practice widening my bite and my gums don't even go together yet.
Then he gave me the most amazing news EVER: he wants to do my teeth for me… pro bono.
You guys… he wants to do my teeth for me. Just like that.
All he needs from me are the lab costs and that's like, seventy-five hundred dollars. MAX.
So, from $65,000 to $20,000 to $7500 dollars… and that's the best news ever. :D
I still have my fundraising page and that's over here and if you could share this and reblog it and tell everyone you know, that'd be awesome.
THANK you.

"It's impossible for human love to be unconditional, like God's love. But as believers in Jesus Christ, we have the love of God in us. We can let that love flow freely, without conditions. Our love fails, but God's does not. Our love comes to an end, but God's does not. Sometimes I find that although I can't love a person in my own strength, I am able to with God's love. The true love of God doesn't depend on feelings, it's based on a decision. It's not based on whether or not that person deserves it. And it is absolutely freeing to be able to love people without stopping to ask if they deserve it. Human love depends on feelings. It loves people because they have been good to us or they loved us first. That kind of love comes and goes. God's love is totally different. It isn't based on anything except God Himself. When we receive Christ as our Savior, the love of God is poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit. Pour out God's love to others today." Joyce Meyer
Prayer Starter: God, my love may run out, but Yours never will. I will continue to draw on Your endless love so that I can give it out to others, without being concerned about whether they deserve it or not.

Game On For The Holidays: PlayStation Black Friday Sales Soar
FOSTER CITY, Calif., Nov. 29, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- It's clear that millions of gamers across the US will be spending some quality time with PlayStation during the holidays following sales results for the week of Black Friday.
PlayStation®3 (PS3®) Black Friday bundle sales increased 15%, and total PS3 sales including hardware, software and peripherals, grew 9% over the same period last year. The Ultimate PlayStation Value Bundle, which included a 250GB PS3 and the Uncharted Dual Pack and inFAMOUS Collection for $199, quickly sold out at retailers across the US. In total, more than 525,000 PS3 consoles were sold in the US during Black Friday week1.
In Latin America, gamers were able to enjoy various offers across participating local retailers, resulting in a year-over-year sales growth increase of 200%.
PlayStation® Vita (PS Vita) is entering its first-ever holiday season and enjoyed very strong sales during the week of Black Friday. The Assassin's Creed® III: Liberation Bundle for $199 sold out at retail, highlighted by Amazon selling through its specially priced inventory in less than five hours. The Call of Duty® Black Ops: Declassified Bundle and Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes Bundles for $199, respectively, were also very popular with gamers and sold out at retail during the week. More than 160,000 PS Vita units were sold during the week of Black Friday.
"We're very pleased with the Black Friday sales results, especially the incredible reception for the PS3 and PS Vita bundles. The demand was very strong which quickly depleted our inventory across retailers nationwide," said Jack Tretton, President and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment America. "The PlayStation brand generated significant revenue and year-over-year growth at retail because of our focus on what gamers love most in combining amazing hardware with great games and digital entertainment."
Consumers also took advantage of the value delivered by PlayStation's subscription service package, PlayStation®Plus (PS Plus), which supplies members with an Instant Game Collection of 18 blockbuster games2 across the PS3 and PS Vita systems, in addition to huge discounts, exclusive beta access, and much more. Sales of PlayStation Plus subscriptions on PlayStation®Network increased 259%3 compared to last year's Black Friday period. In addition, since the Instant Game Collection was introduced earlier this year, customer satisfaction rates for PS Plus are above 95%.
PlayStation will continue to offer incredible entertainment experiences for gamers during the holidays with the PlayStation®Vita PS Plus Instant Game Collection Bundle that includes a one year membership to PS Plus (launching next week), along with the PS Vita Assassin's Creed® III: Liberation Bundle and PS Vita Call of Duty® Black Ops: Declassified Bundle. In addition, there are two PS3 bundles available this holiday including the PlayStation® 3 500GB Assassin's Creed III Bundle, and the PlayStation® 3 Uncharted 3 Game of the Year Bundle. Gamers will have no shortage of new exclusive titles to play with the recent introductions of PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, LittleBigPlanet Karting and Wonderbook™: Book of Spells.

Our farm is located alongside the Truckee River where the Great Basin meets the Sierra Nevada mountains in Reno, NV. Our space serves as a venue for community events, weddings, performances and we also host a variety of classes and workshops on a regular basis. Our farming operations run year round utilizing hoop houses, low tunnels, and row covers in the colder months. We grow on our farm on site and also develop and maintain other edible gardens throughout the community of Reno.
The River School Farm internship is designed to build skills and knowledge in the practice of deep organic bio-intensive agriculture, edible landscaping, community education and outreach, and sustainable living.
Interns will be exposed to a variety of different subjects in our farm and garden operations, educational programs, special events and as residents of the River School Farm community. We have a lot of things going on here at RSF and try to give interns the opportunity to be involved in many of our different operations while also accommodating the specific areas of interest the intern would like to focus on. We are a small staff and there is a lot of hands-on training and development as part of our program. Interns are expected to take on more responsibilities as their program progresses and we encourage interns to take on special projects if they demonstrate their capability in a specific area.
Interns are actively involved with daily RSF operations and assist in the maintenance of the entire farm complex. Interns will:
- Work under the supervision of RSF staff to develop new skills and receive hands-on training.
- Carry out daily farming tasks, routine site maintenance and horticultural tasks.
- Help with special events at the farm.
- Lead visiting groups on farm tours, field trips and other special event programming.
- Assist with River School Farm's poultry and beekeeping operations.
- Assist with all aspects of RSF operation.
- Perform farm chores in rotation with other farm interns/staff (these are in addition to RSF internship hours and include living community responsibilities like cooking, cleaning, washing dishes, etc.)
Farm work will expose interns to a broad range of farm topics including:
- crop rotation planning
- cover crops
- garden design and building
- crop harvesting, drying, storing, preserving
- soil amendments
- farm composting
- seedling production
- biological disease and pest control
- animal husbandry (chickens, ducks, bees, and goats)
- care of fruit tree, shrub fruit and grape vines
- value added product development
- making herbal products
- herbal storage and preparation
- special event organization, setup and staffing
- educational programming (school groups, summer camps, assisting with workshops)
Interns are expected to work 30-35 hours/week as part of the Internship Program which is unpaid. However, all interns are expected to work an additional 2-10 hours/week as paid employees of the River School Farm ($10/hour). Paid tasks will expose interns to our landscape development division which designs, builds & maintains residential and commercial landscapes. This work provides an opportunity to gain valuable on-the job working experience in ecological landscaping. Additionally, interns will serve as site hosts at our facility when it is being rented by private parties (weddings and other events). Paid hours will vary from week to week, often including weekends, and are more frequent during the warmer months of May – September.
This position is ideal for someone who wants to gain practical work experience working in small scale urban sustainable agriculture. All interns are given housing & partial board. Additionally, interns will have frequent opportunities to work as paid employee of RSF during their internship period (2 – 10 hours/week).
Desired qualifications are:
- previous experience in farming and/or gardening
- good work ethic and highly motivated to learn
- physically fit and able to lift up to 60 pounds and work in adverse weather conditions
- attention to detail and efficiency
- creativity and love for a sustainable lifestyle
- desire to participate with children's groups on an occasional basis
Internship housing consists of a private room with shared bathroom and kitchen. Two meals/day are prepared communally Monday-Friday. Additionally, interns will have access to fresh farm produce and community bulk foods to prepare their own meals. We typically have 2-3 interns per season.
To apply for our program, please submit an application and send your resume to Monique (at) riverschoolfarm.org. Applications will be accepted until positions are filled. Spring Internships will begin on March 12th and Summer Internships on June 5th. If you have questions, please contact Monique (at) riverschoolfarm.org.

For one first-timer, who had never been to Greek Fest before, but always wanted to check it out, it was the food that sparked her interest."We've heard so much about it, the food," said Denise Thomas. "Kept hearing about the food, and we came out and tried everything, and it's really, really good."Sunday was the last day for the Greek Festival, but if you still want to sample some of the treats, keep an eye out for the bake sale the church puts on several times throughout the year.

Teacher union boss bends to school reform winds
DETROIT (Reuters) - In the maelstrom of criticism surrounding America's unionized public teachers, the woman running the second-largest educator union says time has come to collaborate on public school reform rather than resist.
Randi Weingarten, re-elected this week for a third term as president of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) with 98 percent of the vote, wants her 1.5 million members to be open to changes that might improve public schools.
That willingness to engage, she says, could win over parents, taxpayers, voters, well-funded pressure groups and cash-strapped cities that have blamed unionized teachers for high costs and poor performing schools.
"We have to unite those we serve and those we represent," Weingarten said in an interview with Reuters at the AFT convention in Detroit. "And we have to think ... what's good for kids and what's fair for teachers?"
Weingarten rebuffed her critics in the union for mistaking collaboration with surrender and said her overwhelming victory in the election showed rank-and-file members supported the move.
"There are a lot of people who are very angry for legitimate reasons and want to hear simply the 'fight back'," Weingarten said. "But this is about fighting for things as well as fighting against things."
Across the United States, public education -- and the often unionized teachers and support staff employed in the sector -- are under attack from reformers who argue the country's schools need to be reformed and partially privatized in order to improve student performance.
Weingarten was attacked by critics for a willingness to throw her support behind deals in places like Philadelphia and Cleveland, where AFT locals bargained away tenure protections, or New Haven, Connecticut, where the union accepted a teacher evaluation system that removes teachers whose students don't perform well on standardized tests.
"Some people would argue what happened in New Haven is not solutions-driven unionism," Weingarten told Reuters. "Do I embrace every single aspect of that agreement? Is everything single aspect of that agreement part of my particular belief system about how education should run? Of course not."
Weingarten's call for greater community outreach strikes many observers as a realistic strategy for building support for public education, long attacked for high costs and poor results.
"She has said she's open to any reform, under certain conditions, except private school vouchers. She's drawn the line there," said Richard Kahlenberg, a senior fellow at a liberal-leaning think tank, The Century Foundation, and author of "Tough Liberal" a biography of former AFT President Albert Shanker.
"But on every other issue - charter schools, merit pay for teachers - she has said that the AFT is willing to talk. And I think that's the right track to take."
But activists in the union, hardened by the layoffs, furloughs, pay freezes and benefit cuts that states and municipalities have forced on teachers nationwide in a weak economy, remain vocal and leery of Weingarten's blueprint for the future.
"We have to ask ourselves what are the solutions that are driving the particular model that Weingarten is talking about," said Jeff Bale, a professor at Michigan State University who spoke at a panel discussion hosted by AFT dissidents from Chicago and Detroit.
"Concessions don't lead to more prestige with the public. Concessions don't win more credibility at the bargaining table. They lead to more concessions."
Critics say Weingarten's willingness to see traditional job protections like tenure disappear and to accept charter schools, merit pay and other changes is a retreat from core principles and plays into the hands of those who want to eliminate public education, privatize government services and curb the ability of workers to unionize.
What the new approach will mean for AFT's membership remains to be seen. Like its bigger counterpart, the 3.2 million-member National Education Association, AFT has seen its full dues paying membership decline in recent years, according to its official filings with the United States Department of Labor.
AFT spokeswoman Carolyn Fiddler says total AFT membership -- which includes retirees and members paying partial dues -- is actually up from "1.5 million and change" in 2010 to "1.5 million and some more change" in 2012, a claim repeated in the state of the union report issued at the Detroit convention.
At the event, officials said AFT, which represents teachers and other school staff as well as healthcare workers, had signed up 79 new bargaining units in 18 states in the past year.
Weingarten told Reuters that there was "real fight left" in the AFT. But the question is how widespread and deep it is.
One convention highlight came when the 3,000 delegates, in a spirited floor vote, unanimously backed a "special order of business" promising the union's full support for "AFT educators in hostile bargaining environment who are fighting to defend fair contracts and the right to bargain collectively."
That describes just about every AFT local in the country.
But the resolution specifically cited five cities, including Chicago, the nation's third-largest public school system, where teachers represented by the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) have been involved in bitter contract talks with Mayor Rahm Emanuel, a Democrat, and could walk out beginning on August 18.
At a weekend caucus on the sidelines of the convention, delegates from Chicago and Detroit, where an emergency manager has imposed a 10 percent pay cut on teachers, were skeptical the national union has the appetite for strikes or walkouts.
But they agreed, as William Weir, a Detroit public school teacher put it, that "it's time to do things differently."
Activists seemed especially excited by CTU, which resisted an effort by Emanuel to unilaterally impose a longer school day and won -- a rare victory these days for a teachers union.
Debby Pope, who works in the CTU's grievance unit, said the message from Chicago was simple: old-fashioned hardball, combined with outreach to parents and communities likely to be hurt by public school closings, works better than compromise.
"We will not be heard at the table unless we are out there in the streets seen and heard fighting," she said.

I am glad that I decided not to teach after leaving college, as I was able to make more money in the private world and was never the brunt of the anti-teacher craze that has been going on. Why these people continue to try to teach children that do not want to be in school in the first place due to subject matter having little relevance to the real world is beyond me. Teachers do not select the subject matter – that is done by the school boards and they are parent driven. If the schools are failing, all one has to do is look into the mirror.
In Rhode Island, we take collaboration very seriously. We recognize that Teachers and Administrators are all working towards the same outcome – improving student achievement. With that as our guideline, we work together to solve issues. For us this is nothing new – we have been working together to resolve issues, create programs, train and evaluate teachers, write and revise curriculum materials, design common assessments, as well as many other issues.
Ms. Weingarten's ideas just reflect what it is that many of us do already and reinforced the need to continue our efforts. Teaching has changed (I am beginning my 30th year) because our society has changed. Teaching will continue to evolve as society does BUT our society should not be criticizing its teachers for the ills of society. We didn't create poverty, hunger, homelessness, recessions, etc. – BUT we support the children and parents of this country who are dealing with these issues and still try to teach them the skills they will need to move up and on!
Remember – if you can read and understand all that is available around you – thank a teacher!

Sync Media To and From Android via Windows Media Player
Written by Alan Monday, 15 August 2011 07:00
One of the most commons question that new Android users have is about how they can get music onto their device. One popular solution is a program called Double Twist, but that's only good for users of iTunes. Fortunately, there is a simple solution for Windows users – Windows Media Player. WMP comes pre-installed with every version of Windows.
The first thing you you need to know is that there are four types of USB connection modes that Android can use. Two of those modes we will discuss here. The four modes are "PC Mode", "Windows Media Sync", "USB Mass Storage", and "Charge Only". If you don't know which mode your device is in, or need to change it, then plug the device into your PC (let the drivers install, if you haven't done this before) and then pull down the top bar. Click on the USB symbol to show what mode you are in and to change it.
Method 1 – USB Mass Storage
Since my device is currently in "USB Mass Storage" mode that is where we will begin.
In "USB Mass Storage" mode, you will need to open Windows Media Player. Once open, you should see your device in the left column (in this case it has made itself drive "H". Expanding the drive will show you folders for Music, Videos, and Pictures. Clicking any of these will show the contents.
To sync files, drag and drop media to WMP's right column under the Sync tab. When you are done, just click the "Start Sync" button.
Method 2 – PC Mode
Using the PC Mode is easier, and probably what most experienced Android users choose. When you device is in this mode, a nifty WMP interface pops up automatically on your PC.
Rather than delving into this, I will refer all of you to a previous how-to article that appear on this site that cover using this method in great detail. Just visit How to Access your Wndroid Phone's Files in Windows. However, if this box doesn't pop up, then see below for an easy way to access it.
To access the sync interface picture above, you can also click Start => Devices and Printers => Android Device Name.

Superintendent's Message
Much has changed with our school district since my back-to-school message this time last year. We are truly a district that is on the move and growing. We are growing not as a matter of external events, but rather by choice. We passed a referendum and embarked on what I can best describe as a construction adventure with all the surprises that normally come with a project such as ours, which included both the renovation of existing buildings as well as new construction. We have endured legal challenges, historic weather events, and unanticipated discoveries that called upon our staff to improvise, adapt, and overcome. At this juncture, I am happy and proud to announce that due to the hard work and dedication of our terrific staff, we met those challenges. Our Early Childhood Learning Center (ECLC) is up and running successfully at St. Joe's Parish Center until the new school is ready, which we anticipate to be late in November. The new science labs in the High School's old agricultural science building were completed just in time for the opening of school. A new roof on a portion of the High School building, over the media center, has been installed. The Mary Shoemaker School has a new floor in the multi-purpose room. The Middle School's new multi-purpose room is well on its way to being completed around December and we anticipate it being fully available by January. As mentioned earlier, we expect to be able to move into the new ECLC on East Lake Road in November.
