Movie Info
Shade, the first feature film from real-life card shark Damian Nieman, who wrote and directed the picture, stars Gabriel Byrne and Thandie Newton as a duo of con artists looking to beat the "Dean" (Sylvester Stallone), a legendary card shark, in a high-stakes poker game. Their first step is hiring two fellow tricksters -- Jamie Foxx and Stuart Townsend -- to provide the smooth talking and to procure the necessary funds. Unfortunately, Larry (Foxx) blows his hand and finds himself with 85,000

Card sharks and grifters look like the stuff of an engrossing movie in Shade, but, in the end, under-realized direction and characters deliver less than a full deck.
A failure on every conceivable level -- from its trite, pedestrian dialogue to its static, torturous pacing.
Loaded with dizzying cons and betrayals, it pays off with a satisfying and unpredictable finish.
Through some mystery of connection and financing that involves producer Merv Griffin, many worthy players are degraded by Nieman's amateur stylings.
A dramatic thriller with a large cast playing the hell out of some very juicy roles.
...the plot becomes almost irrelevant -- these guys are just fun to watch, and only Newton seems to be on a vain superstar trip.
O diretor/roteirista Damian Nieman mant�m o filme com um ritmo sempre envolvente e conta com as �timas atua��es de todo o elenco (Stallone e Townsend, em especial).
With so many sucker bets coercing your hand before you're really ready to make a safe cinematic wager, this will be one film you won't mind losing your money to see.
Good fun for those who like Mametian con-inside-a-con-inside-a-con trickery.
In a movie about the con, the play is to hustle the audience into thinking it's more than it is.
Audiences are (or should be) too keen on the con genre for filmmakers to keep expecting wide-eyed reactions on twist after twist, but this is a pretty decent one and outside of Mamet it's not often something you should expect.
In the game of con-poker, a pair of card mechanics beats a full house of gangsters every time.
Audience Reviews for Shade

The way the movie is done reminds me a bit of Pulp Fiction in that the first half of the movie is not straight forward, but sideways we can say. It adds a really neat feel to the movie and kind of keeps you guessing for a while. The club/bar scenes and techno music add a nice flavor to the hustling vibe this movie has, big props for that in my opinion. The acting seems a bit forced for some, especially Tiffany, but otherwise it's a good little flick. I'd say overall somewhere near a 7.75/10, but since there's no fractions I gave it an 8. If you enjoy poker/hustling/Stallone, check this one out.

Founded in 2006, Freestyle Films began with the simple mission of improving extreme sports media in South Africa. The gap in this niche soon became glaringly obvious, and over the last 8 years Freestyle Films has continued to challenge and help shape the industry.
Forging relationships with a number of local athletes, what began as short amateur videos in dusty backyards, has turned into some of the country's most recognizable extreme sports media. Freestyle Films has shot countless videos with industry heavyweights such as RedBull, Monster Energy and GoPro, and accompanied the likes of Nick de Wit & Dallan Goldman, to the Canadian band 'The Last Supper' around the world.
Now, Freestyle Films is proud to be able to call itself a key contributor to the extreme sports film industry in South Africa. With specialist knowledge in a number of sports-related film techniques, Freestyle Films can be seen anywhere from drifting tracks and dirt bike races, to ski slopes and music festivals. In addition, the company strives to keep up with new industry trends, and is currently experimenting with parkour, urban exploration and the extremely challenging sport of Downhill Mountain biking.
Extreme sports are always perceived as passion-driven, and Freestyle Films too embodies this passion as it strives to help capture those fleeting moments of human excellence.

One of PRSh's oft repeated goals is that a musician should be able to take a PRS brand new out of a case or gig bag and use it in a live show. My local dealer says when they open the new arrivals to put them out for display, they almost never even have to tune them....
You may argue that the various 'upcharges' are not worth the benefits, or that you personally cannot perceive (enough of) a difference between two guitars, but that becomes a buying decision. It works for you or not. It is worth it or not. I know that I have heard from several employees at PRS that the artists they work with can tell the differences without being told which is which.
My musical talents are not nearly so refined that I believe I could tell except for the most obvious changes, but that doesn't mean I won't be able to tell in the future or that on some level I subconsciously perceive such things now. I suspect your experience between the Mexi Strat and the Mira was along those lines - and that's a good thing.
There are also improvements that are really obvious like the rosewood neck "extreme awsomeness" treatment which is not standard on RW necked guitars, but worth every penny if you ask members here who have had it done.
All in all, you seem to dismiss the idea that there can be differences in the quality, playability and tone at various price points, which makes your shopping for an acoustic a bit puzzling. Did you look at only one Taylor, one Martin and one Breedlove? And if you did consider price point and features within each of these lines, why is it a valid decision for acoustics but not within the PRS electric line?
Edit: As for that smile on Paul's face, in response to a question, that usually means he is about to educate someone....
It's not a matter of "better." There is no objective standard for "better." There is what works for you. And that is, and should be, 100% subjective.
I"ll say it again for emphasis -- t's all subjective. It's supposed to be subjective. That's the beauty of it, not the drawback of it. An instrument is something you manipulate with your fingers to please your ears and brain! Are your fingers, ears, brain and playing technique - not to mention musical taste - exactly like mine? Of course not.
Everyone's fingers and ears and brains are different. Everyone has different playing capabilities, different talent, different taste, different levels of artistry. They all look different to inspire you in different ways, too. Because we all like to look at different, individual, things that appeal to our senses.
So, if it's supposed to be subjective, where does value figure into the equation? It's a question that can't really be answered objectively. Because money isn't part of the fingers - ears - brain - eyeballs equation. It's a separate issue.
"I'd rather have this one. It speaks to me more. I like it better than that one."
"But it's more expensive."
"Yeah, but it's worth it to me."
Or not!
It's art. Not science. My original post was about wood density, because it seemed interesting, but I'd pick a guitar by hands and ears and brain, not measurements, anyway.
I don't need a scientist to tell me what sounds good.
If I told you that the neck on a Paul's guitar is chosen a little more carefully and is a variety of mahogany that usually rings a little more, would that make it somehow better? Only if that's what you want the guitar to sound like. If the top is higher grade than a 10 top, does that somehow make it worth more? And to whom?
Eric Clapton still seems to prefer his Strats. He knows PRS are out there. They're just not for him. So are Strats "better" than PRS? For him, they are. I believe that if his guitars were stolen, and you took your old cheap Strat model and your PRS backstage to loan him, he'd take the inexpensive Strat onstage because that's the type of guitar he plays, he's used to it, and it suits his style.
So, you might not prefer Paul's Guitar. You might not need what it offers. In fact, your playing technique may or may not be appropriate for whatever "that" is.
Paul's guitar sounds a little different, it's not supposed to be "better." If you like that difference and want to pay for it, great. If not, and it's not worth it to you, great. That's the point I'm sure Paul was trying to make. I'm confident that he's proud that all of his guitars sound worthy and great, so it's a question of which nuances you like. I happen to think Paul's guitar sounds fantastic, although I don't own one because I bought a Sig Limited that's fairly similar in design and sound before this model was introduced.
Paul's Guitar has a fancier top, so you're paying for that. But the guitar is several hundred bucks less expensive than an Artist Package version of any other model. It's actually a bargain for what you get, in my opinion.
It has a more select neck wood than a standard model. The bridge and finish are slightly different. The inlays are different. The case is nicer than a standard case. Lots of little touches that make it worth owning!
Anyway, that's why "is it really better?" is not a thoughtful or particularly meaningful question. I'm betting Paul smiled for that reason. I mean the man's life is about guitars and guitar design. Where do you even begin to explain your lifetime?
I could discuss guitars for a week without stopping, and not even scratch the surface, and I know 1/1,000,000th of what Paul Smith knows!
OK, when you say there are minor differences between the guitars, what you apparently mean is minor differences in quality level, i.e., "all the guitars sounded good."
We're speaking different languages.
When I talk about differences between steel string guitars, I'm talking about the approach to how the instrument balances the fundamental tone to the harmonic overtones. Body size for body size, in general Martins will put more emphasis on the fundamental, and still have sparkle in the high end, Gibsons have much more fundamental and midrange and less overtone emphasis, Taylors are all about the overtones, etc.
Yes, they all sound good, that is a given. When I evaluate a guitar, I'm concerned with the sonic details, because they are crucial to how the instrument fits into what I'm trying to accomplish when I create a soundtrack. I'm not looking for a guitar that simply sounds good, or is the "best" guitar. I'm looking for a particular sonic signature. So these differences are much larger for me than they are for you. And recording is like a microscope, where these kinds of differences are magnified. Not just via the amp or the microphone, but "how well will this sound take EQ?" "How will it sound in a mix, will it blend in or be lost?" "Will I have to roll off the bottom end or will it sit right in the mix?" "Do I want a warmer sounding pickup, or a bright one?" Etc., etc.
It's the same with electric guitars in my world. As the years go on as a player, one gets more and more into the nuanced details. And it is in those sonic differences that the value of an instrument lives as far as I'm concerned.
And some players buy 'em for the looks, and there's nothing wrong with that, either. It's a free country!

All of this is interesting, but the original post really was just related to the premise that uniform density woods project better. I think that you guys may be talking past each other saying similar things (philosophy aside.) Sure, different guitar designs sound different, and better is in the eye of the beholder. The question though as this applies to an electric guitar is if we could hold everything else constant (pickups, hardware, dimensions, etc.) would the effect of density uniformity be important. I'm still saying that I'd be surprised if it was. But I'm surprised by lots of stuff...
I don't have Les's experience or his ear, but I get where he is coming from. When I'm looking at guitars I'm looking for one that sits in my hands and doesn't want to walk of. I have played many over the past few years, and even at my primitive level of playing, I can tell what works for me and what doesn't.
I remember when the Johnny Hiland model came out. I saw him at the Experience that year. He even toured some of the stores - I have a pic of the two of us in the store in Westminster somewhere... I wanted to like his signature guitar. I played it and played it, and different examples of it, but it just didn't do it for me. It was a fantastic model, but it wasn't me.
I turn out to be more of a McCarty/Custom22/Hollowbody kind of guy. Are these guitars better than the JH? No, they're different. Back in the race to be DGT pres, I had to gin up a quick bona fide so I make a trip top the store for a quick vid with a DGT. THAT guitar spoke to me.... and I ended up going back withing days to buy it.
Now I know that DGh and PRSh and company fretted over that guitar's specs for a looooooong time. It shows in the final product, just like Johnny Hiland's input showed in his. On a related note, I'm pretty sure that David Gilmour had a fair amount of input into his signature Strat and so on.
So Les is right that 'better' is relative to what each of us wants.
BUT. There IS better within a company's product line. This is true for almost any manufactured good. Materials, workmanship, styling, features, conveniences, upgrades, options, take your pick. And one of those things for guitars is wood.
I believe that the components of a guitar are both subtractive and additive. Some materials and wood species dampen vibrations in specific tonal ranges and some vibrate sympathetically enough to enhance overtones that might otherwise be buried. I also believe that it is a black art.
Wood density is part of that equation as assuredly as rock density affects the speed and amplitude of seismic waves - and that isn't a bad way to think about it. But it is so much harder to prove.
Wood being a natural product is subject to natural variations and as such there is no definitive example of 'rock maple', 'BRW', 'mahogany' or any other tone wood. The question approaches the untestable because you can never say for sure that the piece of cocobolo you have in your hand and use is representative of all cocobolo.
Moral? Does the guitar speak to you more than the money in your wallet? The only question you really need to answer....
I read an article in an older Premier Guitar (I'm about a year behind now, but gaining ground!) about a guy who builds bass cabinets. He built one for a guy who was particular about things and said the guy said he could hear differences. So when the guy was checking out the cab and had his back turned, the builder decided to test him and reached over to his amp and adjusted the EQ at some frequency by 1db or 2db, and the player yelled, "I told you I don't like that frequency emphasized!"
Some people hear those things, some don't. There are some things I hear that I didn't used to. There are some things I NOTICE that I didn't used to.
Like Les said, we're all different. There are guitars I see that I know it's not worth me looking any deeper than the picture because I know it's not for me.

UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre puts his title on the line against top contender Johny Hendricks at UFC 167 on Nov. 16 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
Former UFC welterweight interim titleholder Carlos Condit has fought both St-Pierre and Hendricks and was asked his opinion on the title bout during a recent edition of UFC Tonight.
"I think Johny Hendricks has a puncher's chance," said Condit. "He's obviously a big puncher. He's got the power to make it a short night for GSP, but I feel like GSP is going to out-technique Johny Hendricks."
It's sometimes forgotten that St-Pierre comes from a striking background. His karate base has been expanded with additions of possibly the best wrestling in mixed martial arts as well as a strong technical boxing game.
More MMA
He has an effective jab, but has largely become a point striker. Hendricks knocks people out. Half of his wins have come by knockout, while St-Pierre has not finished an opponent since 2009. Few would disagree that St-Pierre has the more versatile striking arsenal and is the more technical striker between the two, but Hendricks' punching power makes him a more dangerous striker.
While Hendricks has the advantage in punching power, Condit believes it will be St-Pierre's wrestling that will be the determining factor in the fight.
"I think his wrestling, and I'm not an expert on wrestling, but I think his wrestling is going to make the difference and Georges is going to be able to take him down and control the fight," he said.
St-Pierre is widely regarded as having some of the best wrestling in the sport. He's adapted to grappling like a chameleon to its background, but Hendricks has the better wrestling credentials on paper.
A two-time NCAA wrestling champion and four-time NCAA wrestling All-American, Hendricks may pose the greatest threat to St-Pierre's wrestling dominance in the welterweight division.

Another dominate GSP performance in order!
I hope that's sarcasm. He doesn't even try and finish anyone anymore; it's all about avoiding punishment and scoring points. He couldn't finish Diaz or Hardy? Come on.
And since he has a fanatical fan base, Dana won't erupt like he does when other people are involved in a boring fight.
GSP doesn't want to be on the receiving end of KO of the night. He'll dance backwards and throw jabs from far away, late in the round he will look to land a takedown to score points (not to get a GNP going).
I don't think he's going to try and outwrestle Hendricks, just jabs. Only way he dominates hendricks is if hendricks gases (which is possible)
I think Johnny is working on his wrestling, learning from other wrestlers who took GSP's for granted (Hughes and Koscheck). But I see this being a boring standup fight.
I just love it.
How wouldn't it be a dominant performance from GSP? He wouldn't get hit, wouldn't get KOed, wouldn't get taken down, and would deliver all the punishment on Hendricks.
But hey, your post makes me wonder how he's still the champ, you're not a professional trainer or UFC top fighter, yet you decrypted GSP's style so easily… he's just so predictable, right?
That's the problem when it comes to GSP, your only guarantee is that he's gonna do the opposite of what you want him to.
You're a grappler? He'll outstrike you the whole match
You're a striker? He'll take you down infinite times and wear you out till you can't even put your arms up.
But I guess being so versatile at such a high level for such a long time doesn't mean nothing.
While I agree that he doesn't try to finish anyone, I think there's more to lose for him than for us, who analyse it simply by looking at the entertainment perspective. For us it's a show, for him it's a job, a job where everyone tries to take his place.
Well said. I think he could get more finishes, but that would be at the expense of occasional losses. At this point, he's so close to setting all these records, he doesn't want to get Weidman ' ed
agreed, he would be a nightmare to prepare for, hes striking is very versatile between kicks and punches and the fact that he can take you down at any moment and control you for a full round means you have to be so carefull with wat shots you fire back, same problem when you would face the likes of cain velasque.
feel like hendricks would need a quick ko before gsp finds rythem but i quess ya never know, its the reason we all watch right?
I have to agree with Lucas on this one. GSP never gets owned in any round in any fight. If it was so easy to predict his methods he would have never had the belt this long. I remember when GSP fought matt hughes for the third time. Remember how dominate hughes was for so long? When asked how he was going to defeat GSP in there 3rd fight his reply was very telling."im not sure" he said "I just believe im going to win". When i heard him say that i knew that not even the great matt hughes had an answer for this problem and he knew it! Still seems to be the same problem for every fighter GSP fights. They really dont know how to beat him. The problem is not with George its with his opponents. They are the ones who claim george is gun shy and afraid to get hit but i havent seen one yet excited about going after george to prove it. Hendricks says hes going to knock him out. you know how many time ive heard that? Has anyone considered that GSP has like a eight inch reach advantage on him. they dont usually tell you that before the fight. Alves said the same thing so did hardy and KOS. all of them suppose to be able to solve the great GSP problem. None of them able. Same story, different fight.
well as condit says he obviously has a punchers chance espicially as he can end a fight with one punch- the problem been finding it, gsp stand up is way stronger and more versiatile. Think hendricks would be able to score a takedown too, but i dont think he would be able to control gsp on the ground, whereas gsp can control just about anyone.
Cant see anything but a gsp win but when you have a big puncher like hendricks much like jds v cain in the first fight- it can be a very short night
yes Hendricks has the power, but his reach is pretty short. GSP should have the footwork and quickness to stay out of range.
Reach is just a tool and if it isn't used right then it doesn't matter. They have both trained with the same reach for years so it isn't like it actually effects anything at all. Reach is just something that is mentioned, any standup fighter knows that it means nothing unless someone is good at using it as a part of there style.
But their style is affected by their reach. examples: Jon Jones, Carlos Condit, etc.
All parts of the fighter affect their style, from their reach to their body type to their centre of gravity.
This is one of the wiser comments I've read in a long time.
No it isnt. That is like saying a 7 foot center and 6'4" SG have practiced/trained at the same height for years so height doesn't matter. It does matter.
"They have both trained with the same reach for years so it isn't like it actually effects anything at all." Wrong. It effects the standing distance two fighters wait at when not exchanging. GSP will want a bigger gap, because he has the longer reach, so Hendricks will have to come into GSPs reach to strike him, where as GSP can strike Hendricks without risking a counter punch. Reach is one of the single most important aspects in any striking exchanges. I struggle to understand how you do not realize the impact reach has on fights.
Yeah prolly. It's gonna take a Hail Mary lunge by Johny, but that's where Georges just ducks under and now we're on the ground for 2 minutes of GnP
GSP doesn't 'Gnp' … he holds fighters down so they can't do anything and he doesn't take hits. Dont get me wrong, im a GSP fan but he is NOWHERE near as exciting as he used to be, and his finish rate is appalling, dragging a fight out to the judges call is not the way when you can dominate opponents like GSP can.
"It's sometimes forgotten that St-Pierre comes from a striking background."
Yes, GSP has a striking background. The wrestling came later. Haven't you heard Rogan mention that during his fights?
Don't know about u but I'm usually sleeping during his fights.
Eugenio & Maddaw have never seen his earlier ufc fights where GSP finished his opponents regularly
GSP was predictable back then as well, difference is back then you could almost bet on George by second round TKO….every time !
After becoming champ all his fight became five rounds instead of three and George has a deathly fear of gassing out and losing a decision.
Its not that He can't finish fights, he's just too scared to try !
Its not such a bad thing to know he was capable of finishing his opponents back then, its just that even though he's more predictable now, that's not a good because its got to the point you know he wont try to finish a guy
He was a karate black belt before he started mma.
I think GSP will take it, but I'm hoping for a flash Bigg Rigg KO. Gotta root for the underdog on this one. He's not much of an underdog though. GSP may very well be the best MMA wrestler in the world, along with Sonnen, Weidman, maybe Mendez, Faber, Cain…. But Johny could possibly be the most decorated non-MMA wrestler around. Is there even another fighter who has won the D1 NCAA championship twice?
I think Ben Askren was a multiple time NCAA champ too. Josh Kos, won the NCAA Championship and went undefeated en route to winning it. GSP has the best MMA wrestling. It's a lot different. I wrestled in college and freestyle, while training MMA with gloves on, I get taken down by guys who would NEVER be able to take me down in a wrestling match. GSP's transitions from striking to his take downs are second to none. If Hendricks can't land a big punch I see GSP winning this. Kinda the same as Canelo vs Mayweather fight….
"He's not much of an underdog though. "
This is Georges easiest fight in a long time !
agreed, since Dan Hardy. Lol
Hendricks is tough and yes he has a punches chance but GSP is just the better fighter overall. Hendricks is a great wrestler with KO power but his boxing isn't anything for GSP to worry about. I'm curious to see if Hendricks can out wrestle him though and how his bottom game is. GSP has the footwork, the ground game and the transitions. Johny has such a short reach as well and cuts a lot of weight. This fight has a lot of excitement to it because everyone is curious to see who can dethrone this guy.
A puncher's chance. Kind of like you had against gsp, carlos
Yeah, bash the guy because someone asked him a question and he gave an honest answer. You know, it's not like these guys are just spewing out crap without being asked first.
He was probably asked how he thought the fight would turn out from a journalist, and he gave his answer. It's not like he's just running to a microphone to say stuff like this.
Give him a break.
Thanks Carlos,,, now I wouldn't have to see the fight
Carlos COndit should not comment on anything in regards to GSP or anyone fighting him because he showed NOTHING in his fight with GSP.
Carlos Condit has fought both of these men, they are literally his last two fights. If anyone has solid input on comparing the two, it would be Carlos Condit. Also he landed a headkick that wobbled GSP. He lost 99% of the fight, but was working off his back and landed one clean shot on the feet. Show the man respect,
And to add to that.. did more damage to both the fighters than they could dare try to him.
maybe you don't remember Condit looking like he went through a windshield by the end of the first round !
its a cut, if you fight or train (And ill assume you have) than you know that one man can be cut and bleeding even if he completely beat the hell out of the other.
Except that wasn't the case here,
George did more in every round.
Even the one he was knocked down in. 50-45 on all cards
Im aware GSP took it in points, but so does Dominik Cruz, and even when he his out striking his opponents he is never kicking their ass. Well Mostly. But i havent seen the fight in a while so maybe he was doing more damage than I remember.
George just looks rough after a fight ! Pale skin that bruises easily and scar tissue on his nose that cut in every fight. I think alot of time he looks worse than he actually is.
Look at all the shots BJ took from Diaz in that fight. Diaz had to land at least four times as many shots yet in the post fight pic, Diaz's face is just as messed up as BJ's
I remember GSP beat the hell out of Koshek who was also a national champion wrestler.
College wrestling is completely different to MMA
Carlos Condit = gatekeeper
The Second best WW in the world is a gate keeper ?
He is not a gatekeeper. After that head kick of GSP…..50/50….GSP recovered, otherwise Condit would have won.
Now he claims to have improved his wrestling and TDD significantly. We shall see.
would have won ?
Kick did nothing to GSP but knock him off balance !
He even took a step to try and catch himself and then broke his fall with his hand when he did fall.
Don't know what fight you were watching but that kick had Gsp rocked!! if carlos could have landed clean GnP then he would have won that fight.
Not even close. It knock him off balance nothing more !
Carlos would have won the fight ? LOL He didn't even win that round !
Here's my WW list. a little diffrernt from the ufc or fightmatrix:
1. Maia (I don't think anyone can touch him)
2. Condit (now that he supposedly has improved a wrestling and TDD…. We shall see, but I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt because he trains so hard).
4. Johny Hendricks
5. Robbie Lawler – used to be a brawler, now he has legit technical standup and grappling
6. Matt brown – a beast
7. Ben Askren
8. Rory MacDonald (5)
9. Jake Ellenberger – I used to think he was way up there, but now he has to prove it again. Needs to win 2 in a row to even talk a
10. Kampmann – he's a beast, but these other guys are just too balanced and good.
i know right !
Condit and Maia ahead of George ? LOL
Hendricks wins via kimura from side mount.
No, Ben Hendeson wins this fight by split decision. The odds are about the same as what you said
LOL@Ianprice, Kampmann is a beast?? I get the criticism of gsp of late, but your list is in shambles. As far as popularity goes, we forget that our rooting for or against a guy has no impact on a fight's outcome, it is only to show our support.
If anybody deserves rooting for it's GSP, regardless of style. The guy is polite, respectful, he is everything i want my kids to look up to. Lets not forget that when the fight card is over, we go back to real life where other things matter. Do I enjoy the persona of connor mcgreggor? More than anybody at the moment, but the world is a better place with people like GSP in it.
If the average MMA fan had their way, all the GSPs would be replaced with Nick Diaz, and our next generation would be watching in serious trouble. For better or worse, kids idolize atheletes. Lets not throw the good guys under the bus huh fellas?
Totally agree about the role model aspect. I would like more GSP's and fewer little nicks running around (unless he straightened himself out). I think he's a fine gentleman indeed. Also good point about the entertainment value of the Connor mcgregors out there, vs the world needing more GSPs in it.
Not sure why you laughed at my list? I don't laugh at your opinions. Besides, why would it se seem so far-fetched that someone thinks the 10-th best welterweight on the planet is a "beast".?
Ive been saying it forever, with the condit vs Hendricks fight as an example, Johnny basically just lunges his left hand out over and over again, he has KO power but he isnt that great of a striker, against technical strikers he has to take it to the ground, and GSP isnt one that will be taken down so easily.. And his jab will take away the chances of Hendricks taking him down with that left hand
Just a hunch, but I'm thinking GSP might try to take him down.

Neuropsychiatric symptoms have not been part of the defining diagnostic criteria of dementia or mild cognitive impairment (MCI), but their characterization and importance in the preclinical stages of Alzheimer's disease and presentation of prodromal states such as MCI and potential conversion to dementia continue being established. Subjects progressing to dementia have a higher prevalence of psychopathology than those who remain stable or improve, and thus neuropsychiatric symptoms appear to be a predictor of progression to dementia alongside established factors such as apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 carrier status, features of memory function, cerebrospinal fluid Aβ/tau ratio, amyloid imaging, and magnetic resonance imaging volumetric measurements of the hippocampal formation.
Depression and cognitive disorders are the most common neuropsychiatric disorders in later life. Their co-occurrence most likely exceeds chance.

The distributor of industrial supplies and manufacturing equipment will hit the social media airwaves to promote the skilled trades, including a live LinkedIn discussion and a Facebook contest.
Manufacturing and the skilled trades have a symbiotic relationship. Just as manufacturers face a serious labor pool shortage because the influx of younger generations interested in manufacturing has dwindled, the skilled trades, including construction, HVAC and welding, have witnessed a similar shortfall of workers as older generations of skilled laborers retire.
So just as manufacturers are gearing up for Manufacturing Day on Oct. 5 to promote awareness of manufacturing, W.W. Grainger, the broad line distributor of industrial and manufacturing equipment and products, today named October "Skilled Trades Awareness Month" to celebrate and raise the visibility of the skilled trades throughout the month.
To kick off Skilled Trades Awareness Month, Grainger has announced the 2012 recipients of its Grainger Tools for Tomorrow scholarship program. This year, Grainger is offering 200 scholarships to students at community colleges throughout the U.S. The full list of students can be found here. (More on Tools for Tomorrow can be seen in a related article at IMT sister publication Machining Journal.)
"We are committed to making the training and advancement of skilled trades a priority. Over the past six years, we have expanded Tools for Tomorrow to include more schools and more students, and we expect that to continue," said Jim Ryan, the company's president and CEO. "Grainger is committed to serving the men and women who keep our businesses and communities running. We are honored to present this year's scholarships to so many talented and bright students who will make a difference in our communities through a skilled trade."
Grainger will celebrate Skilled Trades Awareness Month through social media activities. On Oct. 18, a live discussion on the skilled trades will be held at the company's Skilled Trades Awareness Forum group on LinkedIn from noon to 1 PM ET. On Facebook, Grainger will launch the "Industry Innovators" contest on Oct. 15, when both past and current Tools for Tomorrow scholarship winners can qualify to attend the company's annual customer event in Orlando.
The LinkedIn discussion will feature industry experts who will host a dialogue in an effort to connect students, businesses, employers, skilled trade professionals and the general public. Grainger's Skilled Trades Awareness Forum on LinkedIn has more details on the event.
In the Facebook contest, students can submit short essays about their skilled trade career paths and the innovative impact they have made within their communities to the Tools for Tomorrow scholarship program Facebook page for a chance to be one of five students selected to attend the Grainger customer event.
"As a country, we need to take a fresh look at skilled-trades jobs, including those within the manufacturing sector," Ryan told IMT.

Although Christopher Columbus set out to discover a western ocean route to Asia in 1492, he instead stumbled across the Americas and sparked an era of exploration in the "New World". Columbus Day is now observed as a public holiday throughout the Americas and in many Spanish-speaking countries. In honor of the 400th anniversary of the historic voyage, Chicago hosted the World's Columbian Exposition in 1893, and in 1937 President Roosevelt proclaimed October 12th as "Columbus Day". Of course, much controversy surrounds this holiday, especially related to Columbus' treatment of indigenous people. In fact, Columbus was eventually accused of mismanagement in the New World and ordered back to Spain.
We have plenty of resources to help you learn more about the Age of Exploration; use the library catalog to search for books about exploration in the Americas, first encounters between Native Americans and Europeans, and other related topics. And use our History research guide to find databases like America: History and Life.
DePaul University Libraries are open as usual on Columbus Day.

was caught drunk driving , third offence. interviewed many attorney's no one gave me a chance. finally settled for attorney that gave me the most hope. first day in court he was late with no good excuse and he had not even talked to magistrate. he was fired and i was looking for another attorney. one of my friends came up with franks name , and he was highly recommended. interviewed frank and hired him. frank not only got it reduced to second offence but no felony and no jail time. had to go through drunk court , and two years probation. very hard working and detail oriented. highly recommended.
The hearing began at 9:05 and ended at 9:53am. The entire hearing was audio recorded. Frank, my lawyer, asked most of the questions and I answered into the microphone as I faced the hearing officer.
To tell you how good the hearing went, at the end of the hearing while the recorder was still going the hearing officer told Frank, "You did a phenomenal job. You anticipated every question that I was going to ask."
This is the magic of Frank Ford, he is able to anticipate everything the hearing officer will want to know and prepare you to answer.

Houston Restaurant Weeks Runs August 1 - September 1, 2014
HOUSTON, July 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Houston Restaurant Weeks (HoustonRestaurantWeeks.com), the largest single annual fundraiser for the largest food bank in the nation, announced today the committed 2014 participants. The highly anticipated month-long food odyssey, benefiting the Houston Food Bank, returns with the city's top restaurants starting August 1, running through September 1.
Starting on July 15, 2014, diners can access a growing list of participating restaurants and their respective Houston Restaurant Weeks menus at www.HoustonRestaurantWeeks.com. Reservations are required for diners seeking to take advantage of Houston Restaurant Weeks menus. However, many participating restaurants will accept walk-ins, at their discretion.
Founded in 2003 by Cleverley Stone, Houston Restaurant Weeks has raised over $4.3 million for the Houston Food Bank. This has enabled the Food Bank to provide almost 13 million meals for Houstonians who are food insecure. The largest restaurant weeks of its kind in the United States, Houston Restaurant Weeks is the largest annual fundraising event for the Houston Food Bank, which is the largest food bank in the nation.
Houston Restaurant Weeks is run by volunteers and 100 percent of the donations raised from area restaurants go directly to the Food Bank. For 32 days, diners will enjoy specially priced multi-course prix-fixe menus at $20 for lunch, $25 for brunch, and $35 and $45 for dinner. A $20 lunch generates a $3 donation from the participating restaurants to the Houston Food Bank; a $25 brunch generates a $4 donation; a $35 dinner generates a $5 donation; and a $45 dinner generates a $7 donation. Participating restaurants make donations to the Food Bank based upon their HRW sales.

Being in the software business, it's in our best interest to always be watching and utilizing the newest technology to keep up with the market and customers. People want the best and newest that's available. Anything older just won't do!
But how many of us – when confronted with the newest tech gadget or hot new website – scratch our heads and say, "I don't get it, what was wrong with the old way of doing this?"
Out With the New, In With the Old
By THOMAS BARTLETT
Progress is overrated. Or so says Martin A. Rice, Jr., an associate professor of philosophy at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown. He has no love for the computer (the keys are "too mushy," he says). He despises PowerPoint. He prefers plain paper over glowing screens. If he could go back to making copies on a mimeograph, he would. "I'm fond of the old and suspicious of the new," he says.
Mr. Rice explains all this over a rotary telephone from the 1970s. Later he bangs out a follow-up message on his 1938 Underwood Champion portable typewriter. Mr. Rice will often write a letter on his typewriter, scan it into his computer, and then send the image as an e-mail attachment. "Some people are tickled by it," he says. "Some people are absolutely annoyed."

Is common courtesy on the decline, as many experts seem to think? Personally, I'm not so sure. I never thought it was all that common to begin with.
Certainly, it's getting harder to find people who practice what used to be considered basic good manners -- for example, men who hold the door for ladies. Of course, it's also getting harder to find ladies.
But before we become too vocal in decrying the "death of manners," we should probably acknowledge that as society has changed, so too have our views on what constitutes proper etiquette. We may be more tolerant of hats indoors and elbows on the table, but there are some things we simply will not tolerate, such as cable outages during football season.
In other words, it's not that we've abandoned the idea of courtesy but rather that we've developed a new set of rules that seem more relevant to modern society. And just as with the old set, we violate these rules at the risk of humiliation and ostracism. (Which has nothing to do with large flightless birds, for those of you who went to Atlanta City schools.)
Take cellphones, for example. Our culture has developed, by general consensus, a set of guidelines that govern when and where cellphones may be used within the bounds of good manners. (And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the first known use of the terms "cellphone" and "good manners" in the same sentence.)
Thus, while it is considered rude to use your cellphone in a nice restaurant, you may do so with impunity in a fast-food place. You can also talk on your cell at the ballpark or shopping mall, but not at church or during a movie. And your Aunt Gertrude's funeral is definitely no place for your "Don't Fear the Reaper" ringtone.
Those who violate this unwritten social contract may face more than just angry looks from passers-by. The Washington Post reported that Metro Transit Police arrested a young woman for talking too loudly -- not to mention obscenely -- on her cellphone in a train station. Obviously, her rude behavior distracted the officer from the beatings and muggings going on nearby.
According to the Post, transit authorities "say that cellphones have become just another instrument of loutish behavior in the public space and that they are fighting a dramatic distortion of manners in the transit system." How they distinguish this "distortion" from normal behavior in a city full of politicians and bureaucrats isn't clear.
"We wouldn't allow someone to come into the U.S. Capitol Rotunda and shout obscenities into a cellphone," said Robert J. Smith, chairman of the Metro board.

Business Ideas in the News / June 3, 2014
As growing numbers of people rue the tattoos they got in their youth, a new study has found that tattoo removal is less likely to succeed if the person is a smoker, the design contains colors such as blue or yellow and is larger than 12 inches.
The study is believed to be the first research that looked at several factors—which included tattoo size and location on the body—involved with successful tattoo removal, according to the researchers.
The standard procedure for removing tattoos currently is treatment with a laser called a Q-switched laser, or QSL, applied over a number of sessions. But the technique can lose its effectiveness depending on certain variables, according to the study, published online on Monday in the American Medical Association's Archives of Dermatology.

What question would you ask to identify whether or not you were chatting with a well developed software or a person?
Imagine an experiment where you are asked to chat with one hundred people online, no sound or image, just text. Three of them are actually not real, they an extremely good automated response systems. Your task is to identify those three. You are allowed to ask only one and same question from everyone. People on the other end are specifically chosen such that none of them have similar personality. Programs are also given a unique personality. Only trick is, while you ask questions, programs observe responses of everybody else and may or may not change behavior based on that. What would your question be?
P.S. If you would like to be sure how good is 'extremely good' automated response system in the though experiment above, you may consider it to be the best of such systems you think is possible.
Closing Statement from Farrukh Yakubov
Now that the conversation is over I would like to leave you with more thoughts.
Imagine, this experiment took place and you asked your question, and indicated three of the participants as programs. What if this experiment was not what you thought it was, and after the experiment you were told that 100 participants were all human or all programs, or even a single person answering 100 different ways? What if the purpose of the experiment was not about the capabilities of programs, but about the people - to see how people percieve an intelligent software? Did you think about this possibility?
On the other hand, if the experiment was to test the programs, how effective do you thinki it would be to use this same question of the experiment? i.e. asking "What question would you ask to identify whether or not you were chatting with a well developed software or a person?" from each of the 100 participants.
It is up to you to chose the post experinment scenario, and you would be correct. Because, the experiment can work both ways wether you decide to look at this experiment as an attemp to test programs, or a way of understanding peoples' understanding of programs.

Jan 29 2014: well, there might not be, elizabeth, because I think he's describing a robot that is programmed to answer any question, and to lie. For instance, I could ask it how many times a day it goes to the bathroom, but if it can lie, it could say five or whatever. You or I should ask the guy if the machine is allowed to lie, if it's allowed to lie there may be no question that can differentiate it. If it's not allowed to lie then it would be easy to differentiate it?

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A tour bus driver who struck a pedestrian on a midtown Manhattan street was charged on Sunday with drunk driving and vehicular manslaughter, police said.
Steve Drappel, 57, of West Palm Beach, Florida, hit the pedestrian as he turned a corner near Times Square shortly before 10 p.m. on Saturday, police said. The pedestrian was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital, police said.
The luxury tour bus was operated by Travelynx, a Florida-based charter service. A Travelynx representative could not be reached immediately for comment.
A bus carrying passengers home to New York City from a Connecticut casino crashed in mid-March on a local highway, killing 15 people and injuring the rest of the 32 passengers on board. The cause of that crash remains under investigation.

I use Macbook air 11" connected to thundervolt display 27" with thundervolt cable. Can this be inserted in between, so that it daisy chained?
Since both products have only one thundervolt port.
3 Answers from the Community
Best Answer:
I was using the Lacie Thunderbolt esata hub adapter connected via Thunderbolt to a mac mini server, and then daisy chaining off of the Lacie hub to an iMac 27" minidisplay port to get the mac mini's video. It worked great for about 2 weeks, but now it gives me nothing but problems - ARD goes out on the server, it pretty much locks up and has to be hard reset.
This configuration is supported, according to Lacie, my two eSATA devices were a Lacie 2 TB BigDisk Quadra, and a Lacie 8TB 4big Quadra, and the final link is the minidisplay port cable.
As I said, your configuration should be supported since you are using all thunderbolt cabling, but then again, my configuration is also supported, but I'm having problems.

You dont want to have it in between. The lacie hub can daisy chain. I go from my 15" MBP to the thunderbolt display then to the hub at the end of the line. Enventually I will have another monitor, in which I would go from MBP to mon1 to mon2 then to the hub.
Also i find that connecting the esata devices while the machine is on is spotty at best. I have no problems if it is connected turned on and I reboot my machine. Make sure all your esata devices are on first before turning on your laptop.
I hope this helps.

In order to daisy chain a device you are going to need another device. I am thinking you have a Storage Device that runs through Thunderbolt/Thundervolt, yes you can hook up the monitor and the storage device. Just plug the storage device into your MBA and then plug your monitor into the back of the storage device.

Tsunami warning lifted for strong Japan earthquakeTHE Associated Press | December 08,2012TOKYO A strong earthquake Friday struck the same Japanese coast devastated by last years massive quake and tsunami, generating small waves but no immediate reports of heavy damage. Several people along the northeastern coast were reportedly injured and buildings in Tokyo and elsewhere swayed for several minutes.
The earthquake had a preliminary magnitude of 7.3 and struck in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Miyagi prefecture at 5:18 p.m., the Japan Meteorological Agency said.
The epicenter was 6.2 miles beneath the seabed and 150 miles offshore.
The area was shaken by repeated, smaller aftershocks, the agency reported.
After the quakties issued a warning that a tsunami potentially as high as 2.2 yards could hit. Sirens whooped along the coast as people ran for higher ground.
Ishinomaki, a city in Miyagi, reported a tsunami 1 yard high and other towns reported smaller tsunamis.
About two hours after the quake struck, the tsunami warning was cancelled. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center earlier said there was no risk of a widespread tsunami.
Aiko Hibiya, a volunteer for the recovery in Minami-Sanriku, a coastal town devastated by last years tsunami, said she was at a friends temporary housing when the quake struck.
It shook for such a long time, she said.
She said other volunteers who had been in coastal areas were evacuated to a square and a parking lot as they waited for the tsunami warning to be lifted.
Japan has barely begun to rebuild from last years magnitude-9.0 earthquake, which triggered a tsunami that swelled to 20 yards high in some areas, ravaging dozens of coastal communities in Miyagi and elsewhere. About 19,000 people were killed and some 325,000 people remain displaced from their homes, living in barracks and other temporary quarters.
Miyagi prefectural police said there were no immediate reports of damage from Fridays quake and tsunami, although traffic was being stopped in some places to check on roads.
Public television broadcaster NHK reported that five people were injured, including a 75-year-old woman in Miyagi who fell while fleeing the tsunami. Police said they could not immediately confirm those reports.
Shortly before the earthquake struck, NHK broke off regular programming to warn that a strong quake was due to hit. Afterward, the announcer repeatedly urged all near the coast to flee to higher ground.
The Meteorological Agency has an early warning system that, using data from seismographs scattered across Japan, enables it to provide advance warning of the estimated intensity and timing of a major quake. The warning for Fridays quake was issued six minutes before it struck, according to an unnamed official from the Meteorological Agency who spoke on national television more than an hour after the quake.MORE IN Wire NewsCANADENSIS, Pa.

Noodle kugel has long been a treasured accompaniment on our family's before-the-fast dinner menu. Many people make their noodle kugel with either fruit or vegetables, but for this one I like to combine both. Since carrots are sweet, they harmonize well with the apples, and provide flecks of pretty color. Actually, it's not such a wild combination; some people make carrot and apple tzimmes.
This kugel does not contain much sugar. Seasoned with a touch of cinnamon and ginger, the sweet-savory kugel is delicious with roast chicken or tzimmes.
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 3½- to 4-quart baking dish or two smaller baking dishes and set aside.
2. Cook noodles in a large pot of boiling salted water uncovered over high heat, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes or until nearly tender but firmer than usual, since they will be baked. Drain, rinse with cold water, and drain well again. Transfer to a large bowl.
3. Add carrots, apples, 3 tablespoons oil, 2 tablespoons sugar, salt, pepper, cinnamon, and ginger to noodles. Taste and adjust seasoning; add remaining sugar if you like. Add beaten eggs and mix well Add noodle mixture to prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining tablespoon oil.
4. Bake 45 to 55 minutes or until set; kugel will bake faster in shallow dishes than in deep ones. Serve hot, from baking dish.

This is my second stickfigure fight scene. My first was a commercial that I am still deciding whether or not to upload it to Newgrounds. My inspirations are Terkoiz and Hyun (FlyingPanda1990) but I give a special thanks to Hyun, because his animations made me believe that I could give it a try as well.
I hope you guys enjoy the first part of my flash animation. (There are two parts.)
Rated 1 / 5 stars October 8, 2011
Few action,and the main character kill for nothing!
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars October 8, 2011
It's okay... but to short
Yeah, it isn't the *best* but it is not the worst. Could of made it a bit longer and not really killed the music when the other guy came. Should of put like a... silly kinda confused moment music there.
But try to make your flashes a bit longer than 30sec :3 also more kung fu sounds to :D we all like screaming kung fu sounds and don't say you don't... that would be as bad as the cake.
Rated 1 / 5 stars October 7, 2011
.........stupid movie.
You are totally right. And I can totally trust your judgement based on your merit as an animator. You have done a total of zero submission that have scored null/5 for each one. Congrats. And your colloquialism just goes to show how intelligent you are and how much effort you have put into this review. I am sure you have taken your good time to actually come up with a great constructive criticism, but felt that just saying "stupid movie" would be sufficiant because you have done so many flash animations and you have gained so many experience from rating/commenting on other videos that your judgement of a 2 is totally valid.
Thank you for your time.

The is an easy to use, very effective broad spectrum antibiotic that is cat and dog friendly. If pilling a cat is a problem, it can be crushed with drops of water added and syringed (no needle) into the mouth - refrigerate the empty syringe for multiple treatments.
Pros: Pill form does not have to be refridgerated.
Cons: All antibiotic treatments should be followed up with a probiotic especially after long term treatment.
