Kevin Steen has been booked for a huge match at WrestleCon, which is taking place in April in New Orleans. The former ROH Heavyweight Champion will be wrestling Masato Tanaka, a Japanese star and ECW legend who is returning to America just for the event.
"That is another reason I'm pretty sure I won't be returning there any time soon. Hunter was pretty obviously jealous of certain individuals. I'm not saying he was jealous of me. I could tell he was envious of (Rob) Van Dam. He was extremely envious of Rob's success. He was jealous of Van Dam's personality. He was jealous that people gravitated towards Rob, because people liked being around Rob because he was very positive. The most glaring was the work rate. Hunter has had the same matches his whole career. If the guy is so damn tough, why does he need a sledgehammer. How do you justify this guying be a bad ass if he always has a weapon. Hunter is like that nerd that throws out a joke expecting the room to start laughing and ends up laughing at his own joke."
"Chris was dark, he was extremely dark. We used to have a joke that Chris was tri-polar, because it was a step up from bi-polarity. He would flip sometimes.

Italian Platter Burger
Notes: If desired, top burger with an additional 1/2 cup heated pasta sauce and 2 1/2 cups (about 2 oz.) lightly packed rinsed and drained bitter greens (curly endive, frisée, escarole, or argula).
Yield: Makes 8 servings
- 1 round French bread (1 1/2 lb., about 11 in. wide)
- 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/2 pounds ground lean beef or turkey
- 1 cup minced onion
- 1/2 cup fine dried bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup prepared pasta sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 1/2 cups shredded fontina cheese (6 oz.)
- Sautéed mushrooms
- 1. Using a long, serrated knife, cut bread in half horizontally. Spread butter evenly over cut sides.
- 2. In a large bowl, beat eggs to blend, then add beef, onion, bread crumbs, pasta sauce, garlic, and oregano and mix well. Line a 12- by 15-inch baking sheet with waxed paper. Scrape meat mixture onto paper and pat into a 12-inch-wide round (or 1 in. wider than bread).
- 3. Prepare barbecue for direct heat.
- If using charcoal briquets, cover firegrate with a single, solid layer of ignited coals; let them burn down to desired heat. Set grill in place and measure heat.
- If using a gas barbecue, turn all burners to high and close lid for 10 minutes. Adjust burners to desired heat. Set grill in place and measure heat.
- When grill is hot (you can hold your hand at grill level 2 to 3 seconds), lay meat on barbecue: holding both ends of baking sheet, invert patty onto grill. Pull waxed paper off the patty and discard.
- 4. Cook patty until browned on bottom, about 7 minutes. To turn, use 2 rimless baking sheets, one as a pusher to slide patty onto the second sheet. When patty is on the baking sheet, invert first sheet onto it. Hold baking sheets together, turn over, and slide patty, browned side up, back onto grill. Continue to cook until well-done (no longer pink in the center, cut to test), 7 to 9 minutes. Sprinkle cheese over burger for the last 3 to 4 minutes of cooking.
- 5. During the last few minutes the meat cooks, if there is space, lay bread, cut side down, on grill to toast. If there is not enough room, toast bread after removing patty. Slide a baking sheet under the meat, then slide meat onto the bottom half of the toasted bread. Cut the top half of the bread into 8 wedges. Arrange bread wedges on burger. Cut burger and the bottom of the bread into wedges.
- 6. Top burger with 2 or more of the following: sautéed mushrooms, pasta sauce, or bitter greens.
- Nutritional analysis does not include sautéed mushrooms or optional toppings.
- Per serving with beef: 686 cal., 43% (297 cal.) from fat; 41 g protein; 33 g fat (14 g sat.); 54 g carbo (2.9 g fiber); 947 mg sodium;173 mg chol.
- Per serving with turkey: 650 cal., 40% (261 cal.) from fat; 41 g protein; 29 g fat (11 g sat.); 54 g carbo (2.9 g fiber); 956 mg sodium; 157 mg chol.

Google Guava
Google started releasing some internal Java code as open-source under the name Google-collections. This became much more than only collection support and was rebranded as guava.
Guava contains a lot of extremely useful code.
It adds a bunch of very useful Collection-related classes and interfaces:
- Collections2` - Utility methods for filtering, transforming, and getting all possible permutations of Collections.
- BiMap` - A Map that goes both ways (one-to-one mapping where values can map back to keys).
- Multimap` - A Map that can associate keys with an arbitrary number of values.
- Multiset` - A set that also keeps tracks of the number of occurances of each element.
- Table` - Uses a row and column as keys to values.
For every Collection type, it also has a static utility class with useful methods, for example:
- Lists: newArrayList, asList, partition, reverse, transform`
- Sets: newHashSet, filter, difference, union`
- Maps: newHashMap, newTreeMap, filterKeys, filterValues, asMap`
It also contains some concurrency support, such as the following:
A ListenableFuture allows you to register callbacks to be executed once the computation is complete, or if the computation is already complete, immediately. This simple addition makes it possible to efficiently support many operations that the basic Future interface cannot support.
ListeningExecutorService srv = MoreExecutors
ListenableFuture<Rocket> rocket = srv.submit(new Callable<Rocket>(){
public Rocket call() {
return launchIntoSpace();
Futures.addCallback(rocket, new FutureCallback<Rocket>() {
// we want this handler to run immediately after we launch!
public void onSuccess(Rocket rocket) {
public void onFailure(Throwable thrown) {
Guava also contains tons of helpful utilities for general software development, such as the following:
Allows publish-subscribe-style communication between components without requiring the components to explicitly register with one another (and thus be aware of each other).
Builds caches that can load and evict values. Caches are tremendously useful in a wide variety of use cases. For example, you should consider using caches when a value is expensive to compute or retrieve, and you will need its value on a certain input more than once.
Bloom filters are a probabilistic data structure, allowing you to test if an object is definitely not in the filter, or was probably added to the Bloom filter.
Guava has great documention available on the [google-code wiki].

Nuevo Laredo Cantina in Atlanta recently received its follow-up exam after waiting about seven months for a new inspection, according to food safety reports.
The Mexican cafe, located at 1495 Chattahoochee Ave. NW, received a 72 (C) after slipping below its normal B-level standards as tighter regulations were still being implemented in Fulton County. The manager declined an on-record comment as the restaurant implements changes to rebound to its higher levels.
Fulton County's offices of Environmental Health noted that the lengthy delay came after an unfortunate glitch.
"There was a changeover in territories early in the year, and apparently there was a lack of adequate communication between the old and new inspectors, which caused this follow-up to slip through the cracks and not be conducted," the food safety officials wrote in an email.
During the delay, the restaurant's score stayed listed below the mark, when restaurants normally get a chance to review citations, correct the infractions and have a follow-up within about two weeks. Unfortunately, Nuevo's score stood at 52 (U) until another routine exam was performed this year – its new score was a 58 (U), resulting mostly from temperature-control infractions and non-food related issues that also weigh heavily on results.
Several citations, such as no hand-washing signs posted and dishes stacked in the hand sink, were related to sink inadequacies, the report showed.
"Hand sinks must be used for designated purposes only," the inspector wrote, also advising that it is required to have a four-compartment sink as a prewash-wash-rinse-sanitize process.
Review details of Nuevo Laredo's reports.
Here are more recent restaurant inspection scores from across the metro area.

For people who have a hard time answering the question: "Where are you from?"
In Pico Iyer's talk from TEDGlobal 2013, he looks at the complex nature of the question: "Where are you from?" Because while his family originally comes from India, Iyer himself grew up in the United Kingdom. He spent the next 48 years living in the United States. Meanwhile, his heart resides in Japan. He calls these the "pieces of a stained glass self."
As he notes, in our increasingly global world, it's not uncommon to be a half-Korean, half-German woman in love with Paris or a half-Thai, half-French man in Canada.
And so we're curious: what are the pieces of YOUR stained glass whole? Share here and you may see your answers on the TED Blog soon.
I'll share first: I am a half-Italian, half-Polish Jewish-Christian with a Russian last name, who grew up in the Southern United States and now calls herself a New Yorker.

Nintendo and the Cold War
I just found this piece I wrote for my college newspaper when I was a freshman, some 11-odd years ago. I give it an A for concept, B for execution, and F- for verbosity.
In the 1980's, tensions reached a peak between the Soviet Union and the United States. The arms build-up was as large as it had ever been, and both sides were spying on each other using the most sophisticated technologies available. However, the reason that the U.S. prevailed and the Soviets failed was because of an 8-bit propaganda machine, the Nintendo Entertainment System.
Nintendo was, for many young children, the ultimate patriotism generator, albeit largely unbeknownst to them. Many of the game titles that came out in the late 80s were products of the American government's ploy to instill a fervent sense of patriotism in their Yankee youths. In every Nintendo sports game that included global competition, the player was prompted to pick the Americans every time. "Super Dodge Ball", "Ice Hockey", and "Volleyball" are just a few prime examples. At the end of the game, when the final match was to be played, it was always played against the U.S.S.R., who was dominatingly superior.
They reserved Russia and its inclusive countries until the end, a David vs. Goliath match-up, perhaps created with the ideals of good American Christian faith in mind. In each game, the Soviets had every tactical and technical advantage, making the Americans the underdogs, winning on sheer will alone. This created a sense of grim determination and resolve for the player. Young boys often thought, "I must beat those Commie Pinkos back to the icy tundra from whence they came!" not knowing the full repercussions of their actions, which they repeated for years and years into their adulthood like a group psychosis.
When thoughts of animated juvenile anti-Slovak propaganda come to mind, two games in particular leap to the front of attention: "Rush 'n Attack", and "Conflict". Familiar to almost all gamers, the former is a simple, scrolling-action cartridge that pits one American soldier (or two in 2P mode) against an entire army. Now, the game never directly states that the soldier is fighting against the Soviets, but I think a quick glance at the title might give one that impression. The game, of course, is impossibly hard, and the end never seems to be within grasp, much like the Cold War conflict between the two remaining superpowers in the 80s. (On a side-note there is, believe it or not, an end to the game. It comes after six levels, and you have to destroy an I.C.B.M. tipped with a nuclear warhead. A call to end the arms race, perhaps?)
The second game, "Conflict," is a lesser-known title. For those of you unfamiliar with this massive party-line propaganda juggernaut, here's an enlightenment: You are the United States, designated by blue. You are fighting the Soviet Union, designated by red. No arms build-up, no peace talk, just war. You're given tanks, surface-to-air mobile missile units, commandos, bombers, and fighters to take out the enemy. Seven missions, three levels, twenty-one assignments to keep America "Red-free." If this game doesn't encourage you to take a second look at the intentions of the NES, take off your parka and set down your vodka, Mr. Borishnakov.
In the late 80s, the United States had a population of about 226,546,000. The U.S.S.R. had approximately 284,668,000, or roughly what the U.S. has 12 years later. Had the Soviets mass assembled a small machine that would reach the young masses quickly and effectively, they would've had a much larger platform from which to work on encouraging the adolescent generations to learn the politics of hating a common enemy, thereby increasing the chances of a Communist victory. Instead, they chose to focus on industrial propaganda ("cement factory means good health!"). Fortunately, President Reagan acted first and thousands upon thousands of American households were sites of juvenile jingoism.
Since the political ramifications and consequences could have destroyed Reagan's career, country, and home, he chose instead to allow America to fight its war on an 8-bit playground.
The Nintendo Entertainment System played a colossal part in the outcome of the Cold War. Because of it, the government, armed forces, and even parents received the unconditional patriotic support of children everywhere, rallying their elders on to beat the Russians in real life, just as they did in a game. If Hitler had an NES, we'd all be speaking blond-haired, blue-eyed German.
America salutes you Nintendo, and may your battery never burn out.

I propose that we shift the paradigm of monetary consumerism to one of a GREAT life experience and achieve World Peace!
Like the game Monopoly, the goal in the game of life that the world is playing is: To acquire as much money and material wealth as possible.
The result of humanity playing this game is going to be our own extinction!
The NEW GAME is a paradigm where the goal is for everyone to have a great life experience!
World Peace is attainable!
Together, we can end monetary consumerism and begin living life by intelligent design. We can and will play a "new game" where the goal is to ensure a great life experience for everyone!
The New Game life experience is built on first understanding that Monetary Consumerism is at the root of most of the worlds problems. It is a game that enslaves humanity, stifles progress and benefits only a few. We fight wars because of this paradigm, we starve millions of people around the world every month, we waste limited resources, pollute our planet and destroy hope!
What we need to realize is that this "game" of monetary consumerism really is just a game and we don't have to play this game. Humanity can simply change the game! Money is made up! You have only to look around you to see that the monetary consumerism system is not working very well even for those who cannot imagine any other way.
Banks are collapsing, virtually every country on earth is experiencing social unrest and most countries are so indebted that they have no hope of ever being financially sound again. Meanwhile, the earth itself is under severe climatic stress and we just keep consuming as if our resources will never run out.
There is only one word that describes our current way of life and that word is INSANE!
Humanity is at a crossroad and there is great HOPE! We now have the opportunity to play a whole New Game!
Read my book "The New Game (World Peace)" FREE http://thenewgame.org
Sep 4 2012: OK. Read your book. I think that there is something that could help you sell the transition. But 2k characters are prohibitive. It's the same problem that I think Jacques missed when he introduced his Venus Project. He seems to have missed a few chapters, hence his statements that he can't build his ideal without money.
We do create our own realities. It's just that too many don't know that so they are inadvertently creating realities where they are slaves. Learn how to manifest true desires. It's easy. This is the bridge.
chen xin
Sep 4 2012: I would like to learn more about your ideas. This book is designed to get people thinking and contributing their own genius. Can you post your ideas on my website: http://thenewgame.org so that we can get some volley going and begin building on the concepts?
I am committed to the idea that we must get rid of monetary consumerism in order to have World Peace. How we get there is going to take a collaborative effort.

The End!
I just ended this story and now it is time to tell you what to do next in "The Story Continues" :wink:
Just for the fun of it, I invite you to make a layout using the word "specialty" and at least two other words from the story we have created so far.
Please show your layout in this thread. Also do not forget to mention the kit and designer used in your layout.
Have fun *smile
Here is my layout. I used photos made during a high tea party at the Euromast in Rotterdam (The Netherlands).
Looking at the photos I think to myself... "high tea time!" :wink:
I used a part of the Sweettooth kit (this part by Keystone Scraps).
Besides the word "specialty" I also used the words "party" and "enjoy".
Here's my page, Ingrid!
Thanks for hosting!!
Great how you 'translated' some words from the Story Continues in your layout *smile

"The point of free speech is for the stuff that's over the line, and strikingly unbalanced. If free speech is only for polite persons of mild temperament within government-policed parameters, it isn't free at all. So screw that." - Mark Steyn in "The Spectator", 19 April 2014

Trickle-up Economics
The answer is thus to decrease taxes on the rich to stimulate the economy and increase employment.
Thirty years of trying have shown this not to work.
The problem is that the conclusion does not follow from the premise.
If we take the logical approach to this, we should increase taxes on the wealthy, and make sure that the lower-income folks get it. They will spend it, possibly in stupid ways, and thus stimulate local economies. Thus, more people get jobs, the government gets more tax revenue, and the corporations make even more money.

Yes, the rich get richer, hasn't that always been the way.
When a rich person is broke, they just print some more money.

I think it's all about arguing backwards from the conclusion one wants. And then ignoring logic when someone like you argues forwards from the premisses they've ended up with.

One standard conservative argument is that the wealthy are rich because they invest their money.
Or maybe just a statement of the bleedin' obvious - neither conservative nor leftish.

One Minute Tip: How to Make an Antique Shoe Form Lamp
Apartment Therapy Videos
Today's One Minute Tip comes from shop owners Kasey (and Jordana) Henke, curators of a new vintage living handmade co-op in Des Moines, Iowa.
• The Star: Kasey and Jordana Henke bid against each other at an auction in rural Iowa a few years ago, and life has never been the same. Since then they got married, had two kids, and started having sales on their farm which eventually led to a farm store and Etsy shop called "Rescued Junk." This summer they opened a "Vintage Handmade Co-op" in Des Moines called "Silo."
• The Music: This song is called "Who's That" and is an instrumental version of an even cooler song off the album "Honest Mistakes" by Pete Miser. The full version is available for listen and purchase here.

I had to register just to say this...just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
But, props I guess for doing a tutorial.
I have several of those shoe forms.... but this is not how I would use them.
Sheesh guys, what's up with the cynicism? Just because THEY made a lamp with a base you don't like doesn't mean YOU have to. Instead of acting snobby about it how about thinking of other things that you could use as a lamp base, and take the hardware info from the tutorial. Snobby snobby :P
Color me snobby.
The last is pretty. The lamp parts (for being as exposed as they are) are not. If only someone could come up with pretty lamp parts..
I won't say anything that's not positive, but just a question -- when they heat up do they smell like old shoe?
I laud Apartment Therapy's creativity in announcing their new partnership with Regretsy.com.
A 3D representation of having a bright idea about putting your foot in it?
lol hmm .. well while i do not know if i would make this.. i have never seen those forms in my area..
Hands up, how many people had to re-read that title a couple of times because you thought it said,"How to make an antique shoe from a lamp"?
That's just me then? Oh. O.K.
The lamp is all right, in a Terry-Gilliam-cut-and-paste-free-association kind of way. But @Caitlin F has a good point--take what you need from the tutorial and pick your own inexplicable-to-anyone-else random object to turn into a lamp that only you can love!
The image made me whimper.... friends of mine have learned to make their own shoes for historic re-creations, and have had to make their own lasts because matched sizes are hard to come by. And that lamp is a right foot for one of the missing sizes...
Why would anyone want to?? This thing is freaking ugly!!
Hm...the choice of base is unusual. The overall tutorial is pretty good. I suppose you could use this to create lamps with various materials/bases.
I like it! @ THATKRIS My hand is up... I had to read that twice... I think everyone would have a comment good or bad about this if I made one... makes me want to look at some of those things I am weeding out and take another look at them...
Next up, how to make a lamp from an antique prosthetic leg.
the cynic in me loves reading the gleefully snarky comments on posts like these.. which makes the posts and the projects themselves wonderful in my eyes :)

Strategic institute programme
Meals and sensory perception
The importance of knowing which sensory properties are enhanced or weakened when different products (components) are mixed in a meal will increase as more and more consumers require complete ready-made meals. Knowledge of the sensory interplay which emerges at meals and between different types of food and drink is therefore an important topic in this project.
Other factors are also important for how food is perceived and enjoyed. The project will map the effects of individual perceptions of and sensitivity for sensory properties, the effects of the consumers' expectations and previous experiences with the product, as well as the effects of external product factors. Examples of external product factors which affect our expectations and thereby our perception of products are knowledge of the origin of raw materials, production methods, environmental concerns and effects on health.
Understanding the consumer
Which factors will be most important to the consumer depends on what is important to the consumer right there and then. Good health is an aspect of great importance in today's society, and there are great challenges involved in the understanding of consumers' wishes and needs in the development of highly nutritional products. Important segments within consumer research include children, teenagers and the elderly. They have particular nutritional needs, and can also be very difficult to satisfy sensorily. The research project aims to map which products the consumers want, and which sensory properties are important in these products, as well as ensuring healthy benefits to the greatest possible extent. The programme will also focus on the development and tailoring of techniques and methods which provide greater insight into the actual attitudes and choices of the consumer. Various types of home testing of food as well as observation studies will be developed.

We absolutely love this school!! My son has grown so much and he loves going to school (he even asks to go on the weekends). What more could you ask for? Really everyone here is fabulous. They work with my child one on one most of the time. They really know where he is at and what targets he should be working on. I highly recommend Magnolia School.

The Greatest MMA News Column 08.14.12: Oversaturation

News and thoughts on UFC 150, Jon Jones' Nike deal, potential of Anderson Silva vs. GSP, Penn vs. MacDonald on Fox, Dos Santos vs. Velasquez set, and more!
UFC 150 Thoughts
Months ago there were talks about making UFC 150 a stacked show on the level of UFC 100, but those plans fell by the wayside when the UFC cancelled their scheduled March PPV in Montreal due to lack of a main event, so UFC 150 fell on August 11 in Denver instead of July 7 in Las Vegas (which ended up featuring the big Anderson Silva vs. Chael Sonnen rematch). Instead of a UFC 100 caliber show, UFC 150 may end up as one of the UFC's least successful pay-per-view events in several years. After the show, UFC President Dana White reported a gate of just $650,000 – easily the lowest gate total for a UFC PPV show since the company started to gain steam in 2005. To make matters worse, the PPV was hindered by a blackout on DirecTV making it impossible for their nearly 20 million customers – roughly one-fifth of all PPV enabled homes domestically – to buy the show. Even without the hit from DirecTV, the event was going to be one of the lowest bought UFC shows of the year. Google search trend numbers painted a less-than-thrilling picture for business with UFC 150 coming in below UFC 149, which did about 235,000 buys (per The Wrestling Observer Newsletter). Considering the exclusion of DirecTV customers, UFC 150 may very well fall in the range of UFC 147, which did the lowest UFC PPV numbers in seven years.
White blamed the poor gate on the recent tragedies in Colorado, but the bottom line is if the UFC came with a product fans wanted to see people would have paid for tickets. Surely, the movie theater shooting in Aurora and recent wildfire would have prevented some people from paying to see the event live one way or the other, but that number pales in comparison to the number that didn't buy tickets for other reasons. Two bigger culprits for the poor ticket sales were the UFC ran Denver for the second time in 11 months and they didn't bring a big card. When the UFC traveled to Denver last September, they brought a product that hadn't been to the market in 16 years and four bona fide stars in main eventers Jon Jones and Quinton Jackson as well as co-headliners Matt Hughes and Josh Koscheck. That show had more than 16,000 fans in attendance for a gate of slightly above $2 million. Those aren't bad numbers, but for a market where this version of the UFC, especially at this level (UFC did hold a couple of lower level free TV cards in neighboring Broomfield, Colorado), is somewhat of a new live product, those numbers aren't indicative of a very strong market. UFC has returned to markets like Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), Montreal (Canada), and Toronto (Canada) quickly in recent years and done well each time out, but all of those places had super strong first showings.
This past Saturday the UFC brought the Ben Henderson vs. Frankie Edgar title rematch to town, along with a Donald Cerrone vs. Melvin Guillard co-feature. Edgar has become a star, but he's neither a draw nor a star on the level of UFC 135 headliners Jon Jones and Rampage Jackson. Henderson isn't a draw and isn't exactly a proven star either, though holding the title gives him a certain level of star power by association. Cerrone was born in Colorado, which in theory is something that should have helped ticket sales, but it didn't. Really, the Cerrone-Guillard match-up just didn't feel like a worthy co-main event on a PPV show. Just a month ago Guillard won an uninspiring decision on the UFC 148 preliminary card while Cerrone was coming off of an uncharacteristically lackluster performance against Jeremy Stephens on a Fuel TV undercard bout.
Coming off UFC 148's big numbers the UFC was ahead of their 2011 pace, but even using high estimates for UFC's 147, 148, and 150 that is no longer the case. Through nine events the UFC isn't far behind their pace from this point in 2011 (also 9 shows in) and 2012 should pull at least even with UFC 151 on September 1 (Jon Jones vs. Dan Henderson), but then they have two shows that won't do big numbers in UFC 152 on September 22 (Joseph Benavidez vs. Demetrious Johnson and Michael Bisping vs. Brian Stann) and UFC 153 on October 13 (Jose Aldo vs. Erik Koch and Rampage Jackson vs. Glover Teixeira). That's not meant to show that the sky is falling and the UFC's on dooms door, but rather the basement has gotten deeper this year and will be hit considerably more times than in 2011. There are still three big shows remaining for the year in the aforementioned UFC 151, UFC 154 (Georges St-Pierre vs. Carlos Condit), and the year-end December 29 show (Junior dos Santos vs. Cain Velasquez and likely another big fight), assuming none of them get hindered by injury. With the sheer amount of events the UFC is running, it's becoming easier for fans to skip shows. Undercards are generally weaker in terms of star power than they have been in the past, the bottom three weight divisions aren't established with the fan-base, and the lightweight division has lost a lot of steam since BJ Penn dropped the belt. And this is a company talking about adopting even lower weight classes in the not-so-distant future (which, by the way, is a bad idea. If they add a division, it should be women's bantamweight since it already has stars).
In the main event, Ben Henderson won a controversial split decision from Frankie Edgar to retain the lightweight title. Most people seem to think Edgar should have gotten the nod, which I agree with, but the fight wasn't a robbery. The fight was close, albeit not as close as their first bout in February (won by Henderson). If Edgar's performance in February earned him an immediate rematch, his showing on Saturday should have earned him another, but the UFC is adamant about heading in a new direction with Nate Diaz challenging Ben Henderson for the title. Dana White hinted UFC already had plans in mind for that bout though refused to elaborate, but logic would indicate it taking place either on Fox on December 8 or under the Dos Santos-Velasquez heavyweight title tilt on PPV December 29. At the very least, Edgar should be in line for a title shot with one more win, but even that may not happen. Despite being a truly remarkable fighter (there's an argument for him being the best lightweight ever), Edgar just wasn't able to draw in his title run. The UFC President was even apprehensive when asked if Edgar would get an immediate title shot should he make a long talked about move to featherweight, which would probably be the biggest fight for featherweight champ Jose Aldo at the moment. I'm not going to be one of those people that says Edgar should drop to featherweight because he's a small lightweight (he could probably make bantamweight as well); he's proven to be elite at that weight class fight in and fight out. Whatever weight he wants to fight at next, he should absolutely be solidly in the title picture.
Who do you think won on Saturday?
Donald Cerrone and Melvin Guillard had a hell of a one minute fight in the co-main event. Guillard rocked Cerrone early and was on the attack, but let the "Cowboy" off the hook a bit after a failed attempt at a finish. Then Cerrone landed a grazing head kick that hurt Guillard and followed up with a punch that put him out cold. The logical next bout for Cerrone is a match against Anthony Pettis, who he had been calling out all week, though a fight against Edgar would be just as acceptable. Guillard was close to earning a title shot last year after a 5 fight win streak but then ran into Joe Lauzon. He followed that up with a first round loss to Jim Miller. Melvin is 29-years-old and should be coming to the end of his physical prime. This run in the last year of 3 first round losses doesn't bode well for his chances of earning a title shot in the future.
Ed Herman won the Cheick Kongo award for strategy of the night in his loss to Jake Shields. For whatever reason, Herman tried to beat Shields at what Shields does best, which would have been cool if he was able to pull out a win, but he wasn't. This fight wasn't good; Shields ended up with a decision win.
Yushin Okami beat an out-matched Buddy Roberts (who did not come out to "Badstreet USA" for some unfathomable reason) with a second round TKO. Nobody was expecting Roberts to come out on top barring some Boetschian heroics. Okami controlled the fight and beat Roberts as he should have given his place within the middleweight division. In the PPV opener, Max Holloway, 20, beat Justin Lawrence in a good fight.
Jon Jones signs landmark worldwide sponsorship agreement with Nike.
Jon Jones became the first MMA fighter to score a worldwide sponsorship deal with Nike. The deal had been rumored for a long time but some thought it would be derailed by Jones' May DUI arrest. Jones will get his own line of products with the deal, including shoes. Make no mistake about it, this is a huge deal. Not only does it open the doors for other fighters (word is another fighter is close to a similar deal), this is something that will help Jones get over as a superstar and take him to the next level. Other fighters, most notably Anderson Silva and Yoshihiro Akiyama, have regional Nike deals, but Jones is the first MMA fighter with a worldwide deal.
Talks of Anderson Silva vs. Georges St-Pierre super-fight heating up.
The dream match pitting the two greatest fighters in mixed martial arts history against each other may finally become a reality. Anderson Silva's manager recently expressed interest in the bout a couple of weeks ago and Georges St-Pierre told his trainer Firas Zahabi he would like that fight as well. The UFC also seems to have interest in making the battle of champions. Of course, this isn't the first time the bout has been talked about in this way, and in fact at one time it was even closer to happening than it is at the moment. Prior to his April 2010 bout with Demian Maia, UFC commentator Joe Rogan announced that should Silva win the bout, he would drop down to welterweight and face St-Pierre, who was ringside for the fight. The fight turned out to be the worst of the year, with Silva extensively taunting Maia early and later refused to engage. Silva won, but his way of victory caused the UFC to reshuffle the deck and give Chael Sonnen the next crack at Silva. As recently as last year, it was strongly hinted at by the UFC that the only thing in the way of a Silva-GSP fight was a St-Pierre win against Jake Shields. Georges prevailed, but plans once again changed. This time around, Silva, 37, is still talking about cutting to 170 lbs. for the bout despite being among the biggest middleweights in the world. A catch-weight bout is probably a more realistic possibility, but before a weight can be discussed St-Pierre first has to get past Carlos Condit on November 17.
A healthy St-Pierre would be a big favorite over Condit, but the champion is coming off an ACL tear, which is nothing to scoff at. If all goes to plan, St-Pierre will be returning 11 months after tearing his ACL, but it usually takes athletes even longer to fully recover from such an injury – if they are so lucky to fully recover at all. If St-Pierre gets past Condit, a Silva vs. St-Pierre match, pitting two of MMA's top draws against each other, would do huge business. Pay-per-view buys would very likely exceed the 1.1 million buys UFC 116 did to become the second-biggest PPV in UFC history. Depending on the venue, gate receipts could set records as well. The two most likely venues for such a fight would be Cowboys Stadium in Dallas, Texas, and Rogers Centre in Toronto, Canada. The UFC has been waiting for the right fight to hold at the former, which could hold more than 100,000 fans but would be configured for a much smaller crowd. UFC has already sold out Rogers Centre with the 55,000 strong that attended UFC 129 (St-Pierre vs. Jake Shields) for a $12 million gate. Rogers Centre would be a safe bet for a sellout because the market is so strong up there and the fight would be huge. While Cowboys Stadium is much larger than Rogers Centre which brings the possibility of a much larger crowd than Toronto, the market isn't as strong as Toronto so it's a bit riskier. Las Vegas would also be an option, especially if the proposed 40,000 seat arena gets built in time (very unlikely from what I understand), but common sense would indicate Toronto and Dallas as the leaders.
Should UFC make Silva vs. GSP if GSP beats Condit?
BJ Penn vs. Rory MacDonald likely for UFC on Fox 5 co-main event slot.
The welterweight bout initially slated for UFC 152 appears to have a new date after Rory MacDonald was forced to withdraw due to a cut. Reports have surfaced that the plan is for the fight to take place at the December 8 UFC on Fox show and for it to serve as the evening's co-main event. The biggest thing to take away from that news is that the UFC has big plans for UFC on Fox 5 after their last two shows on the network didn't do good ratings. As a headliner, Penn vs. MacDonald would have been stronger than the last two Fox main events and considering promotion that will come during NFL games in addition to a lack of competition on that date (assuming Floyd Mayweather doesn't decide to fight on the date) it would do a better rating than both as well. Another fight on top of that is icing on the cake and hopefully takes them at least back to the levels of the second Fox show, but that really depends on what is chosen as the main event. If they go with Jon Jones (should he beat Dan Henderson) vs. Lyoto Machida, it would beat rating of the January show. If they go with the lightweight title fight, that would be less certain. As far as Penn vs. MacDonald on Fox, the fight seemed like a more natural fit for the November 17 Montreal show to me. The story of the fight is basically the guy that supposed to be the next Georges St-Pierre taking on GSP's biggest career rival, so putting it under St-Pierre's next fight would make a lot of sense as it would expose MacDonald to St-Pierre's vast Canadian fan base. Regardless, it's still a great co-main event fight on Fox.
Junior dos Santos vs. Cain Velasquez II set for December.
There was talk last week that Alistair Overeem could potentially budge ahead of Cain Velasquez in the line for a heavyweight title shot, but that talk was put to rest following UFC 150. UFC President Dana White revealed at the post-fight press conference that Junior dos Santos will fight Cain Velasquez on December 29 in what will be one of the four biggest shows of the year. Even if it was possible to go with Overeem, it wouldn't have been a good idea for the UFC to risk negative publicity by putting a guy that just failed a drug test in a title fight eight months later. A poll in this column last week showed that while more people wanted to see Overeem fight for the title over Velasquez, the difference between the two was negligible. A Dos Santos-Overeem title bout would likely do better on PPV, but the difference over a Dos Santos-Velasquez title match really isn't much.
Renato "Babalu" Sobral signs with Bellator.
Former UFC title contender and ex-Strikeforce champ Babalu Sobral signed a deal with Bellator on Friday to fight in their light heavyweight tournament next year. Bellator's light heavyweight division is probably its weakest group (the heavyweight division at least has a strong champion) so Sobral is a welcomed addition. The signing shows that Bellator is going after names that fans will recognize ahead of their 2013 debut on Spike TV, when they will instantly become the clear #2 promotion in the world.
UFC on Fox 4 viewership show slight improvement from UFC on Fox 3.
UFC on Fox: Shogun vs. Vera averaged 2.44 million viewers, up very slightly from May's UFC on Fox: Diaz vs. Miller that did 2.42 million viewers. The rating was actually below the level of UFC on Fox 3 (1.5) with a 1.4 household rating. The show peaked with 3 .3 million viewers and the key 18-34 males demo did a 1.9 rating (up from 1.6 in May). The numbers aren't good, but they are at the levels expected from the show. In a way, it's discouraging that the show only did 20,000 viewers more than the May show because this show had bigger stars in the main event. Granted, there was strong competition from the Olympics and it can be tougher to draw in the summer, but the last Fox show had strong competition in the form of a Floyd Mayweather fight and the huge Avengers opening.

No more snow, I've had enough. lets rid ourselves, of this white fluff.
Mother Nature has called her bluff.
Please make it stop, I'm not that tough.
Winter's over, now it's spring. Time to clean up everything.
No more hats, no more cold. The sniffling and sneezing is getting old.
Please bring back the nice warm sun.
I promise I'll be happier in the long run.
I'm begging and pleading and really wishing.
Once the snow goes away I'll stop bitching.
OK I lied, I'll still complain. But now my issue will be with the rain.
I really liked my umbrella, she always kept me dry. Her transparent plastic dome, helped me to see outside. Wearing glasses on a rainy day can really be a bummer.
The lenses get wet and then fog up, throughout most of the summer. This Saturday we had a storm and god unleashed his wrath.
When guests arrived at the house, it was as if they had taken a bath. Someone needed to go out and get something from their car.
My husband offered my umbrella, since they hadn't parked that far. The wind was strong and conditions were rough. My poor umbrella had taken enough.
She cracked and bent and sprung a leak. With wind that strong she just couldn't compete. *Sigh*
Now it's time to say adieu, in the end I had no choice but to discard you.

The house consists of only two (2 !!!!) closed rooms, a living/bedroom and a kitchen, but develops plenty of open or semi-open speces with great views. It is a typical example of what I call inXterior, namely a space with no clear-cut borders between in- and outside. Central point is the pool on the roof, that flows semantically seamless into the rocky beach and the ocean. A great design, if you ask me! (c.t.)
