The success of the first ever UFC on Fox show continues to grow with the ratings returns in, and the fighters in the sport are just as excited as UFC and Fox officials.
In a ratings release on Sunday, the UFC on Fox averaged 5.7 million viewers for the entirety of the one-hour broadcast that aired during the 9 to 10 p.m. ET time slot.
According to Nielsen Ratings sent to MMAWeekly.com, the 15-minute averages steadily increased as the show got closer to the actual fight, which didn't kick off until after 9:30 p.m. ET.
Starting at 9 p.m. ET, the UFC on Fox broadcast pulled in 5.3 million viewers and then jumped to 5.5 million viewers during the 9:15 to 9:30 time slot. The real jump happened during the fight between Cain Velasquez and Junior Dos Santos.
The peak hit at 8.8 million viewers during the fight, the highest ever for any mixed martial arts fight in television history, surpassing the numbers reached during the EliteXC broadcast featuring Kimbo Slice against James Thompson.
The overall rating during the 9:30 to 9:45 p.m. time period averaged 7.1 million viewers. The decrease was due to the amount of fans that changed the channel after the heavyweight title fight ended with the viewership going to 5.9 million within three minutes of the fight's conclusion.
"It's awesome. I think it's a matter of time before mixed martial arts and the UFC is the biggest sport and the biggest organization in the world," said Urijah Faber about the debut Fox show.
According to a release from Fox on Thursday, another half-million viewers were added to the overall broadcast courtesy of the show's airing on Fox Deportes. FoxSports.com also saw their biggest numbers outside of a Super Bowl when showcasing the UFC on Fox prelims on the internet.
The two-hour UFC on Fox pre-game show on Fuel TV was the highest rated program on the network for all of 2011, and their largest share in the coveted 18-49 male demographic as well.
UFC on Fox 1 was just the starting point to a seven-year deal that actually doesn't begin until January 2012. For some fighters who have been around MMA for several years, it's a very exciting time to see the sport explode on a whole new level.
More MMA
"I think the game is just starting," said Wanderlei Silva on Thursday. "We just had our first event on Fox, the transition for the sport right now, and it's just time before this sport is No. 1 in the world."
Dan Henderson, who fights in this weekend's main event fight at UFC 139, marks the UFC on Fox debut as another placeholder in MMA history.
"It's been a long time coming," said Henderson. "The UFC getting on Spike TV was one big step, and with them getting a deal with Fox, it's another huge step for the sport."
The second Fox show is rumored to take place in January 2012, and if the numbers from the debut show are any indication, the sky's the limit for the future.
"I think the second show on Fox will be even bigger for the UFC," middleweight Cung Le stated at the UFC 139 pre-fight press conference.
Expectations are definitely high that Le is right on the money with his prediction.

9 million is huge and blows the Kimbo Slice fights out of the water. But is the UFC going to keep showing fights of the caliber of Velasquez and Dos Santos on free tv? I doubt it.
Awesome to hear. I think something else that needs to be considered (and I heard this on the Sherdog Podcast) is that this fight did not have the added benefit of gaining viewers from word of mouth as the fight took place. Like the Griffen/Bonnar fight, and the Kimbo/Thompson fight. Both of those fights gained huge numbers as a result of viewers making calls and texting people to turn on their T.V.
The Velasquez/JDS fight, being only 64 seconds, did not have this added benefit, and still did well. I only imagine what would have happened if they did put Guida/Bendo on beforehand.
I think the UFC learned a lesson: diversify, and heavyweights are the worst division to introduce MMA. Chances are, it's going to be a one minute knockout, or two guys looking like they just climbed Mount Everest after running 20 miles. Use the lighter guys and diversify, and the sky is the limit.
Imagine if Velasquez and Dos Santos had gone like Bendo vs. Guida. I'd wager the numbers would have spiked over 10 million at that point for word of mouth alone.
I can see where you guys are coming from. A longer fight would have obviously given the ratings a chance to grow. However, I'm not sure that just any fight that got higher ratings would be the best thing in the long run. I may be wrong, but I've always thought that the masses want to see finishes in combat sports. Lighter weight classes may be more "action packed," but a big reason for that is the guys are not nearly as worried about that one punch. I've personally always felt that the 205lbs weight class is the best for viewing. The elite guys in that class seem to me to be the best combination of power, speed, and conditioning. However I realize that's just my opinion.
I think one of the reasons the UFC chose the fight they did because there was a slim chance that there wasn't a finish.
I know I'm biased. I'm not a fan of fights where guys can stand toe to toe, throw everything they have into every punch, and bash eachother for three rounds. Guys like Leonard Garcia get credit for having a great chin, when in reality it seems to me that his oposition, who cuts down to their girlfriends weight, simply don't have the power to put him down.
Enough with that rant sorry. My point was that more eyes on the UFC is a good thing. Unless what those eyes see is something they don't like. I think a lot off mma fans have grown to respect a fight like guida and bendo. I'm not sure if a first fan would see it the way we do. The first UFC I watched was the first. I noticed that I started to get really excited about it when tank abbot rolled through. It was exciting knowing any moment the fight was over. It's what made Tyson exciting to watch. Also, what the top of the heavyweight division brings.
I just know it took me time to learn, and appreciate all the skills modern day mma has. I just think the cooler talk at work Monday would draw more attention if the conversation started with "did you see that guy get knocked the f*** out?" rather than "did you see those long haired dudes grind eachother?"
Just don't forget that the more ratings the show has. The more ignorant the viewer is to what their watching.
I think you are confusing two different things. A knock out in general, and a knock out after only a minute. There are several different outcomes that can take place in any given fight, and those outcomes are beneficially different. You have to ask: what is the best outcome for potentially new fans who don't know about MMA?
The answer may be a knockout in general (I agree with you there), BUT NOT a knock out after one minute. It makes MMA look illegitimate. Yes, a knockout is best, but optimally, a knock out after some back and forth. and at least a couple rounds. However, if you say you want the knock out after back and forth, you have to accept that there is a possibility for a knockout after a minute (or even ten seconds), which, in my opinion, is one of the worst outcomes.
I have said from the beginning that Bendo/Guida was the most RELIABLE fight for new fans because of their styles, and the miniscule chance of an early knockout. I never said it was the best. While hardcore MMA fans thought JDS knocking CV out was "cool" (because we know what that means), new fans probably just thought that CV was a bad fighter and MMA can't put decent talent together (which we all know is false).
You have to put yourself in the shoes of someone who doesn't love this yet and has no idea who these guys are. Seeing a guy get hit in the back of the ear, barely fall down and get pounded out was most likely entertaining, but it was not impressive. I think the UFC needs to aim for impressive if they want to sell a sport to new fans.
Optimally, a fight like Condit/McDonald would be best. However, when you gamble with aggressive fighters, you have to accept that the fight may end quickly. Hence, we keep coming back to this "eggs in one basket" cliche.
8.8 million viewers for about a minute 4 seconds…..should have at least seen the co main event too….

Sunday, 27 January 2013 01:44
By Steve Juon
Here are a few of Dana White's more choice comments in the media scrum after UFC.
On Rampage Jackson:
"I don't even know what to say about Rampage. I
don't - you know what I mean? Like I said. One minute you're cool with
him, the next minute... you know through this whole thing, all the
talk, all the stuff that's happened, I have remained exactly the same
to him - like nothing was said, like nothing was going on, right up
until he left tonight." "There was a lot riding tonight - Glover,
Rampage - you know if I was worried about any of that I would have put
him on the biggest platform we have, on FOX. We've treated him... he
made his money, like he always makes his money, he fought on a huge
platform. He had the opportunity tonight to win, and do whatever he
wanted to do. You know what I mean? It's not like I threw him on some
prelim... in the middle of nowhere."
On Eddie Alvarez:
"What was crazy was when I saw that thing where
their attorney said 'Yeah Spike and FOX are exactly the same thing.'
This isn't one of those situations where you're talking about poor
little Bellator. Viacom owns Bellator. The judge must not have done
his homework for sure, if he's agreeing that Spike TV and FOX are the
same platforms. They're so fucking far apart it's not even funny -
it's two different fucking universes, okay? There's nothing wrong with
Bellator getting Eddie Alvarez - pay him the money he would have made
here." "It's ridiculous. I don't know a court or a judge couldn't see
that. You know? And even if they said, let's really dive into this
thing, let's see what the lowest PPV the UFC has ever done, y'know?
Let's see if we can find out what a low number is, what a high number
is, and maybe this is what he should have been paid. Find a middle
ground, and pay the kid what he should have been paid."
On Strikeforce:
"I'm excited for all of those guys to come to the UFC.
It's a long time coming, and they deserve it, and uh I'm happy it's
finally here. I'm really excited for all of the guys from Strikeforce.
All of 'em, all of those guys, I'm excited for all those guys to come
fight in the UFC. They've been through some shit, over the last year,
and I'm happy they're finally here. We're gonna make it up to them."
On Josh Barnett:
"I've got a pretty good feeling he'll be in the UFC.
I'm pretty sure as far as I'm concerned anyway Josh and I have cleared
(the air). Right when we bought Strikeforce was when we had our last
fighter summit - and Josh was there. And Josh and I have bumped into
each other a couple of times and, I'm comfortable with where we're
On Anderson Silva:
"Dude this is typical, Anderson Silva, Ed Soares craziness. Every fuckin' time there's a fight, you know he wants to fight Mighty Mouse Johnson, then he wants to fight - fuckin', y'know, this guy and that guy. It's always the same deal, it always happens. 'I absolutely will not fight Chael Sonnen, he doesn't deserve the title' and I'm not doing this and I'm not doing that. This is, this is what we do."
On Nick Diaz:
"I don't want to say that he learned a lesson, y'know, like 'Yeah we taught him a lesson' - I think that a lot of what he said at the press conference today was true. He had this feeling like, he's been fighting since he was 18 years old, he never caught a break, he always felt like he was on the wrong side of the deal. He's had a year off, feels like he's rested up, healed up some injuries and had some time to relax. Without him saying it, I'm sure he's pretty excited to be back into it."
Putting his ear surgery on YouTube:
"Some people said what the fuck are you doing, why would you put that up? Why not? Why not?! Who cares."
About the changes for TUF on FX:
"I could not be more excited. I've never come across guys who are this fuckin' smart, who are this unbelievably behind us, on the same page, wanting to build the sport wanting to build the brand. I'm telling you guys - yeah this might be news to you guys it isn't news to me - I've known this for over a year. It's all good stuff man. FOX is amazing. I've got six more years with them and I hope we do a sixty year deal after that."
On Russia:
"We're working on Russia right now. I would say this year."
On Fedor Emelianenko and Brock Lesnar:
"We were going to do the Fedor/Brock fight. Brock came down, we met, he came to that event, we went to dinner that night. And um, he went back home, we were negotiating the Fedor thing, and I think when he heard that Fedor was done he said 'I'm done too.' He's done, he's going to do his stint in WWE and then, go away. He's got a big farm up in Canada and shit. He loves to farm, and he loves to be with his family and, just out in the middle of nowhere."
On Ronda Rousey:
"Meltzer wrote that stupid story, that made no fucking sense whatsoever, basically saying - you know oh Ronda they only sold $750,000 worth of tickets - but later on in the story says, which is ahead of what they sold last time they were here - but can Ronda sell tickets? It's like what the fuck are you talking about? That makes no sense. Not to mention we're not even promoting that fight yet."

Whitney Houston's body triggered high emotion from fans as it arrived at a New Jersey funeral home Monday night ... in a golden hearse.
Fans descended on the Whigham Funeral Home ... waiting for the singer's body to arrive.
A few opportunists were selling "In Memory of Whitney Houston" t-shirts for $10 a pop in the parking lot.
Whitney's mother, Cissy Houston, waited outside the home as well.
As TMZ previously reported, the family was divided over where to bury Whitney. Cissy and cousin Dionne Warwick wanted the burial to take place in Atlanta -- but were convinced by the rest of the family to bury her in Newark.
Being a Mom myself, I can feel the pain and hearache of
Whitney's Mom. You aren't supposed to lose your child.
My heart breaks for every Mother who has had to go through
such heartache of losing a child. I pray Cissy and her daughter Bobbi can go on and be alright. It's so painful I can only imagine their grief. No matter how Whitney died her mother is suffering with such heartache and grief.
"A few opportunists were selling "In Memory of Whitney Houston" t-shirts for $10 a pop in the parking lot."
This is funny coming from TMZ, pot calling kettle black.
Hey TMZ staff, have you looked man in the mirror?
What you do, is no better than any opportunist out there.
They didn't bury Michael Jackson in Gary, so why bury Whitney in Newark? Let Momma bury her child in Atlanta!
I can't believe anybody would even consider wearing a T shirt like that. So tacky.
I hope they bury her in a tomb. Those vultures will be taking pictures of her gravestone. It seems like every hoodrat in newark showed up to see her hearse. That funeral home must not have the newer cadillac hearses. That would of looked better.
There won't be as many people for Whitney like there was for Michael Jackson funeral/wake. No screaming teenage girls or cross-dressers for Whitney.
I just got a shirt from ripwhitneyhoustonshirts.com in memory of her. i am such a big fan. if you support her get a shirt.
OMG Family already fighting over where to bury this poor lady!! I can see where this is going, to court to fight over what was left of her money. This is so sad and turning into a spectacle already. Why didn't she have a trust or power of attorney or some kind of legal do***ents indicating her wishes??? A lot of good her " people " did.
The services and burial for Whitney should have taken place in ATLANTA this was where she was the most happiest!!! Why her Mother would listen to her brother and other family members is beyond understanding at the end of the day New Jersey if getto and most people that leave that place don't even want to go back to visit. ATLANTA IS THE BETTER CHOICE, but it is what it is.......................my prayers to Whitney's Mother and Daughter Bobbi..........
Movin on up to the east side........
THIS IS SAD. I CLAIM NEGLIGENCE. THE WHOLE SITUATION SHOULDN'T OF HAPPENED. VERY EERY... a FORMER BODYGUARD FOR WHITNEY SAID IN THEIR CONTRACTS "...THAT WHITNEY WAS TOO BE CHECKED ON EVERY 15 MINUTES WHILST SHE WAS TAKING A BATH. THAT AND A FEMALE ATTENDANT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE SUITE DURING THE TIME SHE WAS IN THE BATH." MARY JONES WAS NOT THE FIRST FEMALE TO SEE WHITNEY DEAD. SHE IS COVERING FOR THE LAME BODYGUARDS WHO WEREN'T DOING THEIR JOBS.

The heart is not golden especially for Miss Houston. Wingham's Funeral Home heart have always been gold. They are a very respectful funeral home. Please get your facts straight!
R.I.P Whitney
Chicago Nick you are a hater and you should be ashamed of your comments, your comment is the sign of a moron. Whitney is so Blessed, and we are all hurting by her early demise. R.I.P Whitney, WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU.
A gold hearse? Wow, how utterly pompous! Talk about vanity. No wonder I quit listening to her music two decades ago.
I like her songs so much, such as: I will always love you; run to you; or saving all my love for you,...
Unfortunately, she died too soon.

This is a less than marquee match up between two teams struggling to get anything going this season. The good news, one of these teams will get a much needed win. The Atlanta Falcons had Super Bowl aspirations coming into this season following their trip to the NFC Championship game, they're 2-7 this season. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers just got their first win of the season this past week.
"Getting it out of the way, I don't care who you are, as the losses mount getting that (first) one win becomes harder and harder (to get)," Bucs coach Greg Schiano said. "I hope now that our guys can just go out and play. Although they've said there's no additional pressure, I think human nature puts that pressure on yourself."
"This season is not over," said Falcons coach Mike Smith. "I know people want to say doom and gloom. That's not the case. We've not played the type of football that we'd like to play in the first nine games. It is well below our expectations and we're going to continue to work and get ready to play the Buccaneers."

Lana Del Rey's "Born To Die" Album Review
Posted by Christopher Will on 02/02 at 06:06 PM
Grade: B+
Lana Del Rey. If you've heard her music and seen her performances, then you probably have a strong opinion about her. There really is no middle ground for the pop starlet. She has been beset by controversy and scorn since she gracefully touched down onto the YouTube music scene last August with her single "Video Games," which has garnered over 24 million views since. The song and music video scored her a record deal with Interscope, the scorn and praise of millions of blogs across the Internet, and unfortunately, even lawsuits. Her transition from a bleached-blond, jazz-pop artist with a failed debut album to the retro-pop, brunette seductress surrounded by worldwide hype has also sparked rumors of plastic surgery and selling out. Her live performance on SNL left many people completely disgusted, and her legitimacy as a musician has been questioned time and time again. Her debut album Born To Die, which dropped January 31st, has been praised as one of the most anticipated albums of 2012. Scores of critics have been skeptical about this release, wondering if Lana Del Rey's debut will live up to the hype and attention that's been amassing the past few months.
The insubordinate amount of viral scorn and skepticism she has dealt with the past 6 months has been anything but deserved. Born To Die currently sits at the top of the iTunes albums charts, and is predicted to debut at the top of the Billboard charts next week. Her songs are for the most part slow ballads with swooning, orchestrated instrumentals, so it would be inappropriate for her live performances to be flashy and exciting. Her songs have heartfelt lyrics and unique composition, and she's taking a brave leap of faith by trying to bring back a classic era of music with a unique modern twist. Pop veterans such as Katy Perry, Britney Spears, and Lady Gaga get away with throwing over produced, stale, corny pop songs onto the radio and dominate the charts without much problem, but when a new-comer tries to pave her own way as a musician, she is antagonized for it.
While many big name artists have tried to bring back the music of the seventies and the eighties, Del Rey immerses herself in the fifties and sixties, even referring to herself as "gangster Nancy Sinatra." She takes on this role both physically and musically. Her striking beauty is timeless, and her music personifies the soft, smoky ballads of the mid 1900's, sprinkled with modern hip-hop and pop.
Born To Die is everything Lana Del Rey fans have dreamed of, and everything her critics expected it to be. In other words, if you've listened to "Video Games," "Blue Jeans," and "Born To Die," then you pretty much have an idea about what the rest of her album sounds like. This isn't necessarily a bad thing though, and this doesn't mean you shouldn't listen to the rest of the album. Born To Die is romantic, twisted, and gorgeous, comparable to none but maybe Adele's 21 (yes, I said it). Like 21, Born To Die chronicles a past relationship that failed. But unlike Adele, Lana Del Rey celebrates the time she spent with her former lover, instead of lyrically damning him to hell. Track by track, Del Rey shows us the man she loved, the warped dynamic of their love, and her submission and fragility in the relationship.
Born To Die begins with its title track, opening with soaring orchestrated strings and segueing into a foreboding drum beat and a distorted, haunting vocal sample. Lana Del Rey's bleak depiction of life and love in the song sets the scene both lyrically and sonically for the rest of the album. Her vocal range skips around flawlessly throughout the course of the song: deep and sultry in the verses, and high and angelic in the chorus. The next song, "Off To The Races" is an eerie little piece of R&B, complimented by dissonant guitars and a sample of people screaming and cheering. The pull for dominance in Del Rey's relationship is portrayed not only by the lyrics, but also by the lust and frustration she lets slip into her voice, "my old man is a tough man, but he got a soul as sweet as blood red jam, and he shows me, he knows me, every inch of my tar black soul."
"Blue Jeans" is one of the prettier love songs on the record, touched by a throaty guitar riff and elegant harps. "I will love you till the end of time, I would wait a million years" Lana Del Rey yearns in the chorus. If Born To Die is a split between the hopelessness of twisted love and a commemoration of the mind numbing need that fuels that love, then "Blue Jeans" is part of the commemoration. "Video Games," the song that started it all for Lana Del Rey, is the fourth track on the CD. Bells, harps, violins, quiet synthesized beeps, and a somber piano carry the song from beginning to end, and Lana's profession of love makes it the powerhouse anthem that won the hearts of so many of her fans. If Lana Del Rey really is the "Gangster Nancy Sinatra," then the track "Diet Mountain Dew" showcases that persona the best. The song is a sexy, retro splash of hip-hop, and Lana Del Rey confidently seduces her listeners with a smooth, melodic flare.
Out of all of the tracks on the album, "National Anthem" is the most radio-friendly. It sounds like an attempt by Britney Spears to remix The Verve's "Bittersweet Symphony" and surprisingly comes across as a strong track. "National Anthem" is a sugary, fluffy slice of pop music, and features Lana Del Rey rapping in the verses before exploding into an upbeat, singsong chorus. If Lana Del Rey has any chance for making it to the top of the Billboard charts, then this track will give her that chance.
"Dark Paradise" is by far one of the strongest tracks on Born To Die, and stands as the apex of Lana Del Rey's musical talent, sonically and lyrically. She bleeds heartache and longing as she floats among the bold drum beats and instruments, and leaves the listener wondering why Del Rey didn't make "Dark Paradise" the name of the album.
The rest of the album melds together for the most part: slow, brooding, suggestive, and with copious amounts of strings and pianos. "Radio" is not much more than your typical "look at me now, I'm famous!" pop song, and "Carmen" depicts a charismatic, independent young woman who everyone loves. "Million Dollar Man" is probably the weakest track on the album, a sluggish song that lacks the emotion or vocal diversity that makes other slow tempo tracks like "Video Games" still gripping. "Summertime Sadness" is unique mostly for it's lyrical juxtaposition of summer with depression. Unfortunately, like "Million Dollar Man," "Summertime Sadness" seems more like an album filler and less like a standout piece of music.
"This Is What Makes Us Girls" serves well as the final track of the album. It's a little more up-tempo than the few tracks preceding it, and it's an effective proclamation of feminism and independence. The spoken-word in the bridge paints a beautifully tragic picture of the women that Lana Del Rey called her friends, and how they defined an entire generation by their actions.
If you enjoy her music, make sure you pick up Born To Die on iTunes or Amazon, and look for more music by the pop songstress in the near future. Will Lana Del Rey burn bright and quickly die out like so many pop artists before her? Or will she secure a place among pop's kings and queens as one of the defining artists of the 21st century? Only time will tell, but at the very least, her journey into mainstream music is, and will continue to be, controversial and fascinating.

Learn to brew and bottle at Bell's Eccentric Cafe
Upcoming Bell's homebrew events for the rest of 2012:
Oct. 17 - Brewing and bottling demonstration
Nov. 3 - Teach a Friend to Brew Day (time TBA)
Nov. 4 – All Stouts Day – we'll also announce the winner of our 3rd Annual Bell's Homebrew Competition (we open at noon, announcement will be later in the afternoon)
12 19 - Brewing and bottling demo
They are all free to attend and generally start at 6 p.m. (except where noted) at the Eccentric Cafe in Kalamazoo.
Q&A: Bell's 3rd Annual Homebrew Competition
Here are some commonly asked questions (and answers) about this year's Homebrew Competition. For more on the competition itself, go here.
Q: How much does it cost?
A: There is no charge. The 5 gallons of wort are free.
Q: How much wort will be available?
We won't know exactly how much we will end up with until the wort is made, but last year we were able to give 5 gallons of wort to 205 homebrewers. We hope to be in that ballpark again this year, but things happen during wort transfers that can affect that number. We recommend arriving early to sign up and make sure you get your wort.
Q: I can't be there until later in the day. Is there any way I can bring my vessel to you early and pick up the wort when I'm able?
Sorry, but we only have so much wort to give away so we are forced to give it to those in attendance on Sept. 8 (sign-up begins at 11 a.m.).
Q: Can I add extract/sugars/steeping grains/water/etc. to the wort?
You can add whatever you like. However, if your homebrew is chosen as the winner, we will have to be able to figure out a way to make your beer on a much larger scale. So please, take good, detailed notes of everything you do to the wort.
Q: I can't make it to the Expo. Can I send my friend/wife/whoever to pick the wort up for me?
Yes. We aren't concerned with who takes the wort, so much as we are with who turns bottles in to be judged in October. We do ask that you don't bring friends or relatives who don't brew, just so you can have an extra 5+ gallons of wort. We are relying on the goodwill of homebrewers to help each other out and share the wealth. Please help us make sure all who want to compete are able.
Q: What do I need to bring in order to get the wort?
A: Please bring a sanitized vessel capable of holding 5 gallons. A bucket, a carboy (please be extra careful handling glass carboys) or a cornelius keg are the most common. You can leave your vessel in your vehicle until it's time to pick up your wort (we will start distributing the wort around 1 p.m.). Please sanitize your vessel prior to your pick-up time to help us make sure everyone gets their wort.
Wort can be picked up on Sept. 8 at the Eccentric Cafe in downtown Kalamazoo.
This will be the same day as Bell's 27th Anniversary Celebration, our annual Homebrew Expo and 6th Annual Hot Dog Eating Contest.
For more details, visit the Bell's blog.
Download a copy of the featured recipe from our July homebrew demonstration at the Eccentric Cafe.
Our next demo is scheduled for Aug. 15.
A Bit of Heat, the homebrew from Geoff Groff that won our second annual homebrew competition back in September will be tapped at 3 p.m. July 21 at the Eccentric Café.
Brewed with paradise seeds, rose hips and habaneros at our original brewery, this dry habanero-ed IPA or Strong Pale Ale comes in at 6.4% ABV.
Read more about it on the Bell's Blog and be sure to mark Sept. 8 on your calendars for the 3rd Annual Bell's Homebrew Competition Expo and Kick-off.
Quick poll: Would you attend an all-grain homebrewing demo on a Saturday?
While our monthly homebrew demonstrations are typically held during the week, we have been mulling over the possibility of offering an all-grain demo on a Saturday at the Eccentric Cafe in downtown Kalamazoo.
Would you attend?

What, no galleys? Or are they covered by any of the listed categories?
This wants me to see the battle rams in combat even more.
The Dusk fairies look very interesting here. I thought they were smaller, as the evil fairies from Dark Legend were shorter than the minions.
I would have rather imagined the Kiret have a tribal system, or is that covered under monarchy?

Part Thirteen: "The Thinga-ma-bob Got Disconnected From the Hoosy-jig."1 Reviews
Holy crap! This story isn't done yet?!
Stoop stuck her face over Pete's shoulder. "So, what's wrong with the car?"
"Uh," Pete replied. "It's broken?"
Stoop rolled her eyes. Gah, he was lucky he was pretty.
"Maybe we should go for help. I thought I saw a gas station back down the road," Patrick said.
"Right!" Pete replied, taking control of the situation. "I'll go get help, Patrick and Andy, stay here and protect the women folk."
*A few minutes later
Emma and Pete were walking down the road. "How the hell did I get stuck with you again?" she asked.
"Hey, it was your idea Chicka! You said you didn't trust me to go by myself."
Emma smiled as she pictured Pete stranded in the middle of the desert getting eaten by vultures. The only reason she didn't allow that to become a reality was because she really wanted to get home. She shook her head, snapping it out of it. "Pete, would you be able to say what was wrong if we let you go yourself?" she asked.
"Sure, the thinga-ma-bob got disconnected from the hoosy-jig."
"Wow, Pete. I think I overestimated you," she replied sarcastically.
Pete grinned, as they walked in silence for a couple minutes. Slowly, his smile fell into a worried frown. "Is it hot to you?" he asked, carefully wiping his forehead trying to prevent his hair from curling.
"No," Emma replied.
"We're going to die out here!" Pete cried.
Emma rolled her eyes and started walking faster. "I think I see the gas station."
"Where?" Pete asked, squinting ahead. "The heat... it's making it hard to see."
She grabbed his arm and pulled him after her. "Just stay with me. You'll be fine."
Mike and Dirnt were digging under the hood seeing what damage Billie Joe had done while Billie stood on the side of the road trying to hitch a ride.
"Billie, knock it off. Hitching a ride never ends well," Dirnt scolded.
Suddenly, a van drove by them, did a u-turn in the middle of the freeway and pulled up to them.
"Wow, they drive worse then you," Tre' admitted, popping up next to Billie Joe, Cheech attached firmly under his arm.
"Shut up," Billie admitted, going up to the driver side window as the driver rolled it down.
"What seems to be the problem here?" the driver asked, a strange southern accent twanging his voice. The man didn't look any older then any of the other guys.
"Car problems," Billie Joe replied.
"He broke my car," Mike explained, Dirnt and him joining the group around the window.
"Where y'all headed?" one passenger asked, sticking his face around the driver.
"Oakland, California?"
"No. Oakland, Austria. Yes, Oakland California."
"You're a little far from home. You realize you're in Oregon, right?" the driver pointed out.
Mike, Tre', Billie and the girls didn't look too amused as Billie Joe asked, "Would you guys just give us a ride to the next gas station or something. The other half of our group got behind and they should be coming by anytime now."
"Nick, you think we can do that?" the driver asked the passenger. Nick shrugged and nodded as the driver turned to the stranded group again. "Jump in."
"Nice van," Tre' admitted as they scrambled into the back.
"So, where're you from?" Billie asked as they got settled and the driver pulled back onto the freeway.
"Ooh-klahoma, where the wind blows gently down the plane!" Dirnt sang, then suddenly stopped and looked at her lap. "Sorry."
"But," the driver continued, giving Dirnt a glare, "me an' Nick here are headin' to New York to try an' make it big."
"Aren't you a little lost? You should be going east..." Mike pointed out.
"Sure, if you want to go the easy way," the driver replied, rolling his eyes.
Nick turned around to face them. "Tyson's made it his goal to take a piss in every one of the 48 continental United States."
The other guys nodded, "Good goal."

Dunkin' Brands (NASDAQ:DNKN)
The valuation is on the high side but as a regular customer of a branch near my apartment I can confidently say that this will always have high PEs. The offerings are less expensive than the better know SBUX, of similar quality, and the stores themselves are pleasant places to pass the time.
but you know they are expanding over double the stores right
What is the valuation for Dunkin currently?
This stock is a bummer and will be a repeat performance of KKD . Remember what happened there with $1.00 donuts ??

20 Interesting Facts About Plastics
If you read environmental web sites regularly, then you're aware about the damage that the plastics make to the planet. However, we chose 20 Facts About Plastics that will make you think about it once again and make you sure that you've done the right thing when you decided to go green. If not, then you have to know these facts, because the environment needs it.
1. Plastic needs about 450 just to start decomposing. Then, it takes another 50-80 years to decompose completely.
2. That means that every single produced piece of plastic has not decomposed yet.
3. The average American consumed 1.6 gallons of bottled water in 1976. In 2006, that number jumped to 28.3 gallons. Fortunately, the total weight of the bottles was reduced during that period.
4. Even 40% of the total house plastic waste of average American family is due to the use of plastic bottles.
5. Another interesting fact about plastics and your money: 90% of the price you pay for the bottled water goes to the plastic bottle, while the water cost you only 10% of the money you give.
6. The average American buys 167 bottles of water per year, avoiding using any alternatives.
7. 24 million gallons of oil are needed for producing of billion plastic bottles.
8. Only 25 recycled bottles are enough to make one adult's fleece jacket.
9. Europeans are not that interested in recycling. They currently recycle only 2.5% of the plastic bottles they use.
10. Sad but true, the worldwide fishing industry throws huge amounts of plastic garbage in the oceans. Amazing 150,000 tons go into the water every year, including packaging, plastic nets, lines and buoys.
11. This thrash causes death of many animals in the seas, which mistake the garbage for food. Estimations say that the number of killed animals is over one million.
12. Over 13 billion of plastic bags are produced every year, which are about 300 per adult. A number of 300 bags for 365 days are just too much!
13. In recent years the plastic recycling business in the United States is nearly tripled. There are more than 1600 businesses involved in recycling plastics.
14. However, the recycling rate remains steady at 27% (in United States), as the production of the plastics grows.
15. Recycling a single plastic bottle can conserve enough energy to light a 60W bulb for up to 6 hours.
16. Recycling plastics can save up to 2/3 of the needed energy for producing plastic from raw materials.
17. Four out of five bags in the United States are plastic.
18. Surveys show that more than 90 percent of consumers reuse their plastic bags at least once for things like wastebasket lines or lunch totes.
19. Bottling and shipping water is the least energy efficient method ever used to supply water. Unfortunately, it remains the most popular one.
20. There are many countries which have banned or restricted the use of plastic bags. Australia, China, Austria, Bangladesh, Ireland and several European Union countries are among them.

Public sector unions and municipal employment
AbstractUsing 1980 data for a large sample of U.S. cities, the author reexamines recent empirical findings of a positive association between public sector unionization and municipal employment. Several researchers have interpreted this correlation as evidence that public employee unions successfully exert political pressure to raise the demand for municipal services. Structural estimates of labor demand and the determinants of police and fire unionization reveal, however, that economies of scale in union formation are at least partly responsible for any positive association between public sector unionization and municipal employment. The author concludes that previous studies overstate the amount of political clout wielded by municipal labor unions. (Abstract courtesy JSTOR.)

While in Gunnison, I shot several of the houses in town. Gunnison is a place everyone should see before reaching their expiration date. Anyway, when I was a little girl, we would often go visit my grandmother's sister, Aunt Maddie. She had a rope strung bed with a step to climb in, a strawberry patch with the sweetest strawberries I've ever tasted, bellows to stoke the fire in the sitting room and so much more. Processing this image, I was with her once more. Love you and miss you Aunt Maddie.

This is a really good pimiento cheese recipe - but it makes a lot -- and it's very, very difficult to manage in the food processor. I may try cutting the recipe in half next time. I had way too much. BUT -- really delicious ! I wonder if it freezes well ??
New South Jalapeño Pimiento Cheese
carmelita Posted: 07/09/09
campagnes Posted: 07/30/09
I've made this recipe three times. The flavor is OUTSTANDING; the only reason I'm giving it two stars is because the texture is nothing like a pimento cheese. It's very, very firm and stiff, not creamy at all. In fact, instead of pimento cheese, it makes a perfect cheeseball; I whizz the whole thing together in the food processor, let it chill overnight, and roll it in chopped cooked bacon. Cheeseball: YES. Pimento cheese: it ain't.
laurinp Posted: 11/25/09
DELICIOUS! I do not eat pimento cheese, but I loved this recipe! EVERYONE that ate it commented on how good it was. I like that it has very little mayo. Also, it's very festive looking...perfect for holiday get-togethers. I made 1/2 the recipe in the food processor like it says, then I made the next half with a regular mixer. It was much easier with the mixer and quicker cleanup.
shellyvankirk Posted: 01/13/10
This is a great recipe! The flavors are phenomenal but the preparation method is flawed. This should really be hand mixed for an authentic pimiento cheese texture. The food processor would make this too cheese ball like in texture. I shredded the cheese in the processor, but I mixed all of the ingredients with my hands.
TechTeacher Posted: 07/25/10
I have several pimiento cheese recipes and this is by the far the best. I grate the cheese with my Kitchen Aide, chop the peppers with my kitchen knife, combine all the ingredients, then stir with a fork. I prefer the texture with this method. I also add a little more jalapeno's. Serving the recipe with corn chips and crackers, it's always a big hit at teacher luncheons.

Best Free WordPress Themes Gallery
Updated: March 12, 2014
It has been awhile since I've created one of our popular WordPress theme galleries, so I decided it was time to build a new one. In the past I've always taken the approach of trying to remove any personal bias and just display the WordPress themes and demo/download information in a manageable way so that the reader can choose their favorite themes that they'd like to use.
This time I decided to comb the internet looking for my personal favorite free WordPress themes and display them below in a convenient format. Unfortunately, I quickly discovered that there aren't many free themes available these days, so I've decided to throw in my favorite premium WordPress themes at the bottom of this post as an alternative for those serious about blogging!
This theme gallery is broken down into the following categories (click the link to be taken to the section you are looking for):
- Free 2-Column WordPress Themes
- Free 3-Column WordPress Themes
- Free 4-Column WordPress Themes
- Free Magazine WordPress Themes
- Free Video & Photo WordPress Themes
- Best Premium WordPress Themes
This post is updated regularly, so if you find you are often in the market for a free WordPress theme, bookmark this post and check back regularly!

125×125 Button-Ready WordPress Themes Gallery
Updated: March 29, 2013
About a month ago, I sent a call out to the WordPress community requesting that more themes be released that by default include slots for 125×125 banners. These ad ready WordPress themes are all the rage, yet it seems that few designers took the time to optimize their themes for these banners. Common sense says that if there is very little supply but a lot of demand, the people that fill the demand will find tremendous success.
In looking at the recent trends with newly released themes over this past month, it seems that bloggers have really responded and there is now a wide variety of WordPress themes available for download. I decided there are finally enough of them now that I can throw together a gallery of WordPress themes that allow for 125×125 banners. Enjoy!

Smashing Magazine Gives More WordPress Themes Some Love
One of Smashing Magazine's first and most well received posts was a sort of WordPress theme gallery, similar to the galleries I manage and update here at Hack WordPress. Now it looks like they've gone back to their roots with another post dedicated to WordPress themes.
This post is titled 100 Excellent Free WordPress themes, and it doesn't disappoint! There are a number of really incredible themes here, including a few that I hadn't run across yet. This weekend I plan to go through their post and update the appropriate galleries here on this site. In the meantime, I recommend you click over and check it out!
Best WordPress Themes of 2007
Now that 2008 is here, why not look back at 2007? Some blogs have been looking back over 2007, and I've been closely tracking some of the WordPress reviews for 2007. One post that caught my eye was published over at WP Themes Plugin, where they have picked there Top 20 WordPress Themes of 2007.
In looking over the post, it is a pretty good collection of themes, most of which (if not all) are completely free to WordPress users. If you are looking for a WordPress theme for your new blog, I recommend you check it out. If you don't find what you are looking for there, you may also want to dig through my various WordPress Theme Galleries to find the right theme for your needs. I haven't counted, but I believe there is well over 100 free and premium themes included in the galleries, which are broken down into categories for easy browsing and include screen shots and links to each theme.
I hope everyone has a happy 2008!
3-Column WordPress Themes Gallery
Updated: April 25, 2013
While most full time bloggers seem to use and prefer 2-column WordPress themes, there is no doubt that 3-column themes are definitely more popular among the WordPress blogger masses. This can be attributed to many things, but the most appealing thing seems to be the ability to place more sidebar stuff above the fold on your blog. This can help you better monetize your blog by allowing more room for advertisements, subscription buttons, and other important sidebar content that needs to be seen by your readers.
This post is designed to be a spot to collect screen shots and download information about my favorite 3-column WordPress themes that have been made available to the WordPress community. I decided to avoid displaying any themes that cost money, and I've tried to include additional information about the theme then possible, including if it is widget ready or SEO friendly, etc.:

2-Column WordPress Themes Gallery
Updated: April 25, 2013
I have always been of the opinion that WordPress 2-column themes give your site a much better look than 3-column themes, and I think if you look around the blogosphere at what most full time bloggers use, you will see that these people tend to find the most success with 2-column themes.
There are definitely a lot of brilliant and useful 2-column themes available for WordPress users, so I figured that I would throw together a post compiling screen shots and links to some of the best 2-column themes available:
Right Sidebar 2-Column Themes

Deadpool movie will "get the fans stoked"
Deadpool movie is in limbo at Fox, but you'll probably like it a lot
Now Mark Millar has signed on as Creative Consultant at 20th Century Fox for their Marvel superhero movies, there's a definite sense of hope about their various projects – including the long mooted Deadpool movie. Speaking on Kickstarter to promote his proposed comic-book adaptation of The Goon, director Tim Miller said that the film is in limbo – but that you'll probably like it.
"We've turned in an amazing script and done some early tests and visual development that – I'm confident – would get the fans stoked," said Miller. "And Ryan [Reynolds] still loves the project. So it's really up to Fox as to whether or not the film happens – all I can do is hope (and beg periodically) that it be allowed to move ahead."
Creator Rob Liefeld added on Twitter, "I think the success of the Deadpool game will help immensely and get the Deadpool film a green light… The single biggest blockade (blockhead?) is gone. Mr Tom Rothman has been removed from Fox. Not a friend of Deadpool's… I assure you, as Deadpool's daddy that Me, Tim Miller and [Mark Millar] have huddled on all things Deadpool. We will storm the castle!"

Ingham County Sheriff Gene Wrigglesworth reports to us that the body of 45-year-old Eric Clark was found near the corner of Cedar and Willoughby in a ditch. He was reported missing on Nov. 12. No foul play is suspected in Clark's death.

Textile Love – Christopher Farr "Carnival"
I could post about my favorite textiles all day long, I love them so much. My love of Christopher Farr's "Carnival" has been documented here on the blog, but the focus has always been on the green and blue colorway. I stumbled on this colorway on Pinterest and about fell off my seat. How I want this pillow as a fall addition somewhere around here…..
This has been pinned to my new "mountain house" file. While we recently decided to table our new mudroom due to some major cost/benefit discussions around here…..I had no idea how expensive this little project would wind up….we are now dreaming of a little place up in the mountains of NC instead. Who knows if it will ever happen…..but I am going to gather inspiration and dream as if it will!
Hope you have a great Thursday!
I Heart….
I pinned the photo above because of the pillows (not that the babe isn't the cutest). I love the Lee Jofa / Lilly Pulitzer Heritage Floral and am thinking that my shop will need some when it opens. I also love the heart pillow which led me to an Australian textile company called Umbrella Prints.
Highlighter Pink Umbrella Prints
Perfect Circles by Umbrella Fabrics
I am loving many of their prints. You should check them out. They also have an etsy store….
And P.S.–Speaking of stores, particularly mine, it is still in the works. After way too brain drain than I care to share, I now have a new web designer who has changed my platform and is working on my shop. ETA for launch is mid to late December……fingers crossed. I am really excited about the direction we've taken and cannot wait to share it with you!
Vanderhurd Textiles
Have you heard of them? I was just looking for a photo in my phone and came across these images I snapped a while back at a showroom here in Dallas.
This fabric is exquisite…..the photos do the embroidery no justice! Seeing it in person vs. on their website makes such a difference!
I loved this red and navy colorway, how great would it be in a lake-house with a big navy striped rug, dark wood and crisp white bed linens? I wish… By the way, I know I will get this question so I'll get it out of the way…..they are going to run over $100 a yard. Not way over….but over.
And let's not even start on their bespoke carpets. I have a client I know would go crazy over this one…..
But don't take my word for it. Grab an iced tea or diet coke and take a little break and go explore their site. You're gonna love it.
See you tomorrow.
Fabric Love, Christopher Farr Cloth
I am not usually one to use green in my own decorating…..but wow, I love this print from Christopher Farr Cloth.
Here are a couple of spots I was able to find of the fabric in use.
Jeffrey Allen Marks via Elle Decor
I used another fabric from Christopher Farr Cloth in Harry's nursery. I love their fabrics…..but I've got to say…..this one has me completely smitten (despite no apparent place to use it)!
What about you.

Suzanne Kasler for Lee Jofa….
I have been spending A LOT of time at the design center lately. Like, way too much time….my car could probably drive itself there. Before the holidays I was in Lee Jofa the day they were putting out the new sample wings for Suzanne Kasler's new line. I wanted to blog about it right away but I ran out of time. It does not disappoint.
I have chosen all of my window treatments for our house……no turning back….they've been ordered…..but if I hadn't…..this beauty would need to find its way in. Don't you think it would work equally well in a sophisticated nursery as it would in a cozy guest room?
I also love the colors in the "Montmartre" pattern. And it is available in a total of 5 colorways.
There are also a lot of basics in this collection, great solids, stripes and upholstery options. If you go to Lee Jofa, you can search on her collection. Almost all of them have been photographed at this point.
It is hard to go wrong with someone like Suzanne Kasler in the driver's seat.
Do you agree?
Fun in NYC….
Last week my husband had business in NYC. So we headed to the DC area, dropped off the kids, and then took the train up to NY for a few days. We then came back to DC in time for my husband and my Dad to attend the US open (their Father's Day gift). We didn't do much except eat well and window shop. But, while he was in meetings I kept myself busy.
I made it to a few places to look at fabrics and thought I would show you a few that caught my eye.
I thought the above Waverly fabric was cute. I could see using the pink and green in a nursery or one of the other colorways in a playroom. I loved the texture of this next one….it would be perfect on an oversized ottoman!
I am a huge sucker for houndstooth and was in heaven when I saw this selection.
And finally, at this particular shop, I really fell in love with this fabric and think it would look great in Maddie's room. Unfortunately, I need 25 yards for her drapery panels and the fabric was not a bargain (this shop claimed to be discount but I think they were still pricey). Anyone recognize the manufacturer? They wouldn't share, of course.
I'll share a few more fun finds later this week. Although, the weather was so nice while we were up there that I really just took time to walk around, window shop and decompress!

New York/Berlin/Moscow, April 12, 2010 -- Turkmenistan's outward show of health and prosperity to the international community is masking a dangerous public health situation, in which government officials actively deny the prevalence of infectious disease, medical data is systemically manipulated, and international standards and protocols are rarely applied in practice, according to a report released today by the international medical humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), which details its 10-year-experience providing medical care in the country.More >
