If Jon Jones seems a little raw to be viewed as championship material, consider that even though he's still a month shy of his 22nd birthday, he's already in the same spot where light-heavyweight titleholder Lyoto Machida was only two years ago.
Jones, known for his weird fighting style, has an 8-0 record in professional MMA, including 2-0 in the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Machida, known for his weird fighting style, was 10-0 in mid-2007, including 2-0 in UFC.
But the comparison ends there. In fact, Jones casts himself as Machida's polar opposite.
"I think Machida is getting a lot of hype, and I know he has lots of big wins over a lot of big fighters, and a lot of experience over me," Jones told me recently. "I honestly believe that a great Muay Thai champion will beat a great karate fighter any day; it's been proven on lots of occasions. If Machida has (the belt) by the time I get to that level, I'll be ready for him. ... I want to be that greater Muay Thai fighter to beat a great karate champion. "
Jones isn't a great Muay Thai fighter yet -- he's a Greco-Roman wrestler who only started training in Muay Thai relatively recently. By his own admission, he's still learning the fundamentals of striking.
His knowledge will be tested at UFC 100 on July 11, when he's scheduled to face Jake O'Brien, who is coming down from heavyweight to face Jones in the 205-pound class. I spoke with Jones about his career and upcoming bout. Excerpts from our conversation:
I read that you decided to go into mixed martial arts because you needed to make a few bucks. Is that the case?
That's definitely true. Me and my fiance found that we were having a child and I wanted to be able to make money and be able to continue on with athletics at the same time, so I thought MMA would be perfect.
Do you take much from the experience of other Greco-Roman wrestlers who have become stars in MMA, like Randy Couture, Dan Henderson and Matt Lindland?
Not really. Not at all, actually.
Their Greco's a lot different than mine. They don't execute a lot of throws. They just use their Greco tie-up just to maintain good positioning, or maybe to hold their opponents against the cage.
I look at my clinch as a little more active clinch, where I'm always looking for takedowns or different angles or strikes and things, (so) I don't really look to those guys for clinch knowledge. I think we have two different views on the clinch.
What is it that you like so much about the throws?
I always liked working throws in my collegiate career, (but) I think wrestlers are a lot more smart when it comes to the defense of being thrown. Wrestler-wrestler, we know not to push into each other, because throws are not really about strength, but about momentum.
I noticed a few minutes into my first MMA bout that MMA fighters didn't have that defensive knowledge. All MMA fighters pretty much, once they get into the clinch, they feel as if they're being dominant by pushing in. And that's not necessarily being dominant, that's setting yourself up to being thrown.
Sounds like judo.
It's a lot like judo; it's using your opponent's momentum. It helps me out a lot, having that clinch down, and knowing that most opponents are going to push in the clinch. It gives me a lot of openings and a lot of opportunities that I didn't get against smarter wrestlers. I get to now execute a lot of throws against not-so-wrestling-savvy MMA fighters.
How much of your throwing is built into your game plans and how much of it is improvised off of something that you feel in the clinch during the fight itself?
It's 100% improvised.
Since that Bonnar fight, I realized that the throw can be utilized a lot more and trained a lot more, so I'm actually training specifically Greco and judo at Cornell Unversity. But in that Bonnar fight, it was 100% improvised.
Like I said, I've been wanting to throw people for years in wrestling, and every once in awhile, you can catch a guy pushing there for just a split second to allow you to throw. But in MMA, it's not just a split second; it's pretty much the whole fight.
It wasn't really thrown into the game plan at all, it's just I felt it every time. It's like, "Wow, I can't believe he's giving me another one" type of thing, and I was just taking them.
The next guy you're fighting, Jake O'Brien, is an accomplished freestyle wrestler. In his past MMA wins, he has smothered guys on the ground. How do you counter his ability to shut people down and grind out wins over them?
I plan on being a completely different animal than he's ever faced before.
I'm just working really, really hard with my wrestling. I've watched all his fights. I think he got (Andrei) Arlovski down. Obviously he didn't get Cain Velasquez down, because he lost that fight, but I want to be one of the first fighters that he couldn't take down and I just want to stuff every takedown attempt that he has and push him into deep waters by keeping him on his feet.
But if somehow he does take me down, I've definitely been training a lot of ground attacks from the bottom and mainly just escaping from the bottom.
I've been wrestling for years. A huge part of collegiate wrestling is to be able to escape, and I never had a problem throughout my wrestling career getting out from the bottom. I like to move until I get free, so I'm going to try to move until I get free if he gets me down.
I definitely won't be a victim of his laying and praying on you, just kind of stalling. I won't let that happen.
I read that you started in MMA by training in jiu-jitsu, but you've become quite the striker. How did that evolution come about?
I got into jiu-jitsu. I guess I was really in the whole mindset of wrestling, and jiu-jitsu was the closest thing to wrestling, so I started with the jiu-jitsu. I was really comfortable rolling around on the ground with the guys, and I felt as if jiu-jitsu was just learning a new wrestling technique, pretty much.
I got pretty good at the jiu-jitsu and won my first jiu-jitsu tournament after three months of training. I won the tournament with four submissions and my trainer was really impressed by that, and he thought it would be the best if I were to just really get into mixed martial arts completely.
So he started training me himself with a few boxing combinations on the pads. He's not the best boxing coach, but I perfected a few techniques that he was able to provide for me, and then we realized that the whole team needed to kick it up a notch as far as being more technical. So we hired a boxing coach for a few months, and he really elevated the whole team with just a really, sharp, basic fundamentals of boxing.
I really won my first six pro fights with boxing and wrestling and very little jiu-jitsu. That's pretty much all it was.
And leading up to the Stephan Bonnar fight, hearing Joe Rogan say things like, "Jon Jones is really unpredictable, really unorthodox" and things like that, just inspired me to get all aspects of mixed martial arts down and really become a crisp, technical striker, and have the ABCs and fundamentals down. So we hired a Muay Thai coach and he's just really expanded my knowledge a lot.
I picked up so much info from Youtube and the computer and stuff, and it was a just really a wild style fight, in that I had no real base. I was just throwing all types of moves.
Now my goal is to really have a nice fundamental style, and throw a few flashy moves in the mix, but be more sound. So I'm just trying to incorporate more aspects of the martial arts together, I guess.
How much time do you spend on that unorthodox stuff?
Pretty much every day. I try to wake up every morning and reflect on mixed martial arts. Give it at least a good half an hour, just studying a lot of the moves that I've learned. I try to write everything down, and try to live like martial artist, like a true martial artist, just really meditating on the moves and things like that.
Some days I don't necessarily train the techniques, but I believe just thinking about the techniques are pretty much repetitions. So I visualize myself being able to pull off the moves that I'm thinking about, and it's repetition for me.
You've said that you haven't really taken advantage of your reach in a fight yet. Why not take advantage of that physical edge?
A lot of it is because I really haven't known how to use my body correctly. Having long arms can be cool, but it takes away from your control a little bit. Guys with short, compact arms, they can throw strong hooks and strong punches because they have big shoulders and big arms, and they can really control their arms. Having long arms, if you miss, you really sacrifice. So I just didn't know how to control my long arms.
Now I've been studying guys like Muhammad Ali and Lennox Lewis, guys who have this ridiculous reach -- well, especially Lennox Lewis -- and just watching combinations that work for them. Just really perfecting the basic jab and the basic cross, and the uppercuts and the hooks. Just learning how to use my reach.
I'm actually very excited, because Jake O'Brien is kind of a one-trick pony. I've never seen him properly defend a leg kick or any type of kick. I've never seen him properly throw any type of kick. So his kick knowledge is pretty slim, which is exciting for me.
He's pretty much a boxer, so I've been really focusing on boxing. I would like to fight Jake O'Brien's fight, which is basically having a boxing match with him and a wrestling match with him. ... It ought to be exciting where that's come, where that's progressed.
You've mentioned Anderson Silva and Georges St. Pierre as idols of yours. What do you admire about them?
I admire them for completely two different reasons.
Anderson Silva, I admire him because (of) the way he thinks outside of the box and the way he strikes. It seems as if any time he gets an opportunity to touch you, he'll touch you; he'll throw it. Sometimes it's not the most devastating hit, but he just got in on you. They say his accuracy is one of the highest. That's what I look up to him for.
He'll throw the weirdest strike just to be able to touch you. And the fact that he touched you and you couldn't block it -- doesn't necessarily have to hurt you, but (he's) scoring points. I just love that about him. He'll punch you in the shoulder if it's open, and that's so cool. Just things that you don't expect.
And GSP, I respect him because he's just so fundamentally sound. He never gets taken down. He really sticks to his basics and he masters the basics. He throws very techniques on his feet -- it's pretty much the same techniques he throws every fight -- and he just makes them work.
So I'm trying to be a little more like GSP for this fight, as far as the way he just really sticks to the basics. That's really what I'm planning on doing for this Jake O'Brien fight, is just sticking to the basics: Not getting on my back; not throwing a lot of leg kicks and kicks where he could try to take me down and get a shot off on me; just really have my feet planted down and give him a good boxing match.
What do you think of your weight class' new champion, Lyoto Machida?
I think Machida is getting a lot of hype, and I know he has lots of big wins over a lot of big fighters, and a lot of experience over me.
I don't think he's Christ; I think he's very beatable. They're looking at him and his karate like he's Bruce Lee. He's not Bruce Lee. He's very beatable.
I honestly believe that a great Muay Thai champion will beat a great karate fighter any day; it's been proven on lots of occasions. If Machida has (the belt) by the time I get to that level, I'll be ready for him. I'll have a lot of game planning and a lot of strategy ready. I want to be that greater Muay Thai fighter to beat a great karate champion.
I don't think Rashad Evans came with any type of game plan, but to look really cool or look really fancy, dancing around in pretty footwork stances. He really didn't come up with any way to beat him. I didn't see any of his strengths. I didn't see any takedown attempts or any straight right hands that are always good against southpaws or anything. He was just out there looking flashy.
I'm going to go out there and pull the trigger if I ever get to fight Machida. I respect him a lot, but I definitely think he's very beatable. I know I have a lot of time before I get to that level of fighting him, but when I do, I definitely won't be nervous or intimidated by him at all, and (I'll be) ready to fight him.
You come from a pretty athletic family yourself. Have you ever tried to get your brothers into MMA?
I talked to my older brother, Arthur, and we always say if he doesn't go into the NFL draft, that he would be an animal fighting at the heavyweight division. In my eyes, Arthur is such an athlete. He was always better than me at wrestling -- me being a one-time state champ, him being a three-time finalist and a two-time state champ. I think if he would have went on to Division I wrestling instead of football, that he would have been a (multiple)-time Division I national champ.
He was always the one to throw people in wrestling matches; I had never got the cool throws. I think he'd do a phenomenal job. I don't think it would take him very long to get to the UFC at all. He's really a beast in lots of different ways. I honestly think he could train for a few months and be ready to fight guys like Brock (Lesnar) and Cain (Velasquez). He's really a top-level athlete and a phenomenal wrestler.
I roll around with him now. Every once in awhile we slap box each other and kind of tussle, and he gives me a hell of a time. He actually kicks my butt and he really doesn't even know what he's doing. He's just a natural athlete, and I think with the right coaches and the right camp, Arthur could be an animal.
As well as (my younger brother) Taylor. Taylor is 260 pounds now and he's 6-feet-6. He's really fast and agile. He has a full scholarship to Syracuse also; this coming season he'll be starting at defensive end, number 99.
They're both just so athletic, it surprises me how I ended up falling into such a great position, because I was always the runt of the family, in a way.
Both of my brothers were always the captains of the team, starting in 10th grade. I was never a captain of any team, and they were always the starter, they were always No. 1 player. And I was always the guy who had to work really hard to be a good wrestler. I had to work really hard to start on the football team; I didn't start until my senior season.
Both of my brothers -- always starters, always athletes, always champions. And I think if they carried that same ability and attitude to mixed martial arts, I could really see them catching up to me, if not pass me as soon as they started in MMA. (chuckles) They're just amazing guys.
How do you convince them to do it?
Well, they definitely have their dreams set on making big money in the NFL some day. I guess the only way I could ever even seriously have them consider mixed martial arts is if they didn't make it in the NFL draft.

Back in April 2007 when I joined Twitter, people were wondering how 140 characters could help you market a business. Those were the days Facebook required a .edu address, and business models for startups were seen as unnecessary – who needs to know from the beginning how to make money?
Today, if your business doesn't have a Twitter account, Facebook page, and LinkedIn company profile, you're considered a neanderthal. But in our rush for greater connectivity, let's not forget the tried and true methods of connecting with clients and customers.
In this post, I'm going to discuss the methodology and results of a recent direct mail campaign that we did. Long story short – it still works. Here's how well it worked for us.
Rather than writing a post that is in the multi thousands of words, and in respect for your time and mine, I'm going to get straight to the point in each section. If you would like anything in this case study clarified, please leave your questions in the comments below and I'll answer it. Thanks!
The List
If you're doing direct mail, you need a list of people to send the mail to. In this instance, I had a warm prospect list from an event I attended. These people knew me to a greater or lesser extent, so it wasn't completely cold. I prefer my prospects that way – warm and friendly.
My list consisted of 100 people. 70% of the folks were here in the United States, with the other 30% living in Canada, Dubai, South Africa, and various other excellent places to visit.
The Methodology
The overall methodology of the campaign looked like this (click it for a larger view):
As you see, the campaign consisted of a few moving parts:
- Sales letter
- Landing page
- Thank you page
- Follow-up phone calls and emails
- Webinar
That's all the outward facing stuff. The internal stuff that no one but we see are:
- Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software – Highrise
- Data collection forms – Formstack
- Webinar Software – GoToWebinar
- SEO tools
Let's look at each of the moving parts.
Step 1: Sales Letter
The first thing I did was write a 3-page, personalized sales letter. I signed each one, and our team (including me) put each into an envelope and sent them to their destinations.
The sales letter had a few components:
- An initial page talking about our personal connection
- An invitation to the webinar, and a few paragraphs about what they'll get out of it if they attend
- A offer of a free gift for attending the webinar
- A url and a QR code for the registration page
- Full color photos – no cheapy black and white pics
- An actual signature – I signed each one
- A picture of me, so that they could remember who I am
If they entered the URL into their browser or used the QR code, they got to our landing page.
Step 2: Landing Page
The landing page is a pretty "standard" landing page consisting of a pre-header, headline, body copy, images, webinar information, and a call-to-action. One thing to note on our sign-up button: we're using a special little WordPress plugin that allows people to register for our webinar in one of three ways:
- One-click signup (using a cookie)
- The typical form with first name and email
This plugin can register someone for GoToWebinar AND for your email list at the same time. In a word, it's badass.
Pro tip: the easier you can make it for someone to register the better. Social media signups are awesome, and super easy.
Here's a screenshot of the landing page (click for the full view):
A Note On Landing Pages
I want to take a minute for a quick aside on landing pages. The advice here runs the gamut from keeping them "plain jane" to creating well designed pages. I've seen both work well. That means you have to test them!
With that said, our plain jane page used here converted very well (numbers below). Now back to the post…
Step 3: Thank You Page(s)
When someone registered for our webinar they were taken to a thank you page with the webinar details, and an offer of a free consultation relating to the webinar content. That's a key here: if you present an additional offer it MUST make sense in the greater context – meaning the webinar content.
If the person took us up on our free offer, they were added to our CRM system, and Hugh was sent an email to line up a call. They were also taken to a second thank you page.
In either case, they were sent an automated email from GoToWebinar with the webinar information.
Step 4: Follow-Up
After the letters went out, Hugh hit the phones and email, letting people know about the value they'd get from the webinar. This helped a lot. How much? The numbers are all below.
Step 5: Webinar
This is where the rubber meets the road. We delivered value in a big way, and surprised the attendees with a little added bonus – something physical that comes in the mail.
Also, toward the end of the webinar I presented the link to use to get the free Website Awareness Report I mentioned in the sales letter. It's imperative that you ALWAYS deliver on every promise you make. We did that, and then some.
Conversions To Customers
Because this campaign was run right before the back-to-back holidays, we don't have final conversion numbers on clients obtained from the campaign. That is forthcoming. However, what I can tell you is that after the webinar it's all about delivering on our promises. We sent the Website Awareness Reports and scheduled follow-up discussions.
Now, let's get to the part I'm sure you've been waiting for, if you haven't already read 🙂
Conversion Metrics And Stats
We had a total of 9 metrics we were tracking on this campaign. Here they are, along with the numbers we got:
|Conversion Rate
|Letter -> Landing Page
|Follow-up -> Landing Page
|Total communication conversion rate
|Landing Page -> Webinar
|Webinar Signups -> Attend
|Webinar Attendees -> Report Request
|Webinar Absentees -> Report Request
|Communications -> Webinar
|Communications -> Report
Those last two are the overall conversion numbers for the campaign. We had an 18% conversion rate from all of our communications to the webinar, and a 9% conversion rate from all communications to a report request.
At the end of the day, this campaign had a 9% conversion rate. Personally I consider that a great conversion rate considering that we just finished one holiday and were headed into two more.
One big note here is that the follow up that Hugh did, calling and emailing, added an additional 18% conversion to our numbers. And yes, I was able to isolate those additional signups from the direct from letter signups, so that additional 18% is a solid number.
The landing page conversion was really nice, however what is telling is the number of webinar attendees and absentees that requested a report, 71.43% and 36.36% respectively. This tells me that our offer was solid – people registered and attended the webinar to take us up on the report offer.
Having an offer that is compelling for your market is your #1 priority. All else is trivial details.
I can't emphasize that last point enough. What do people want? Whatever it is, you had better deliver it.
Q&A Time
If you have any questions or comments on the case study, please leave them in the comment section below. I look forward to discussing it with you!

Very nice but expensive AND pay for Wifi!
This is a very nice hotel located in the canal area. Actually overlooks it a bit. Parking is an issue as you are in the heart of the city. You can have your car valet parked or you can park across the street in a pay parking garage. I was here on a Sunday night leaving early on Monday so I only had to pay $4.00.
The check in was very fast and pleasant staff. The room is definitely above average. Very clean, smelled fresh and full bath amenities. I had some work to do so I found out after already in the room, wifi is not free! This room cost nearly $200 per night and they couldn't offer free wifi? The wifi cost $9.95 per day for the slowest speed which is very slow!
Overall a very nice hotel but I would not stay here again out of principle. Many nice places have free wifi and parking.
Awesome location, room, service & breakfast
The Omni is located in James Center right in the heart of downtown, two blocks from the State Capital and literally steps from the Tobacco Company a wonderful & historic restaurant. The hotel was right off I95, easy to get to. Valet was quick & professional.
Our room was great, quiet, comfortable & plush. Room and bathroom were large and filled with amenities.
Our buffet breakfast experience was wonderful. Stewart our server and Thai at the omelet station were very friendly, helpful, kind & knowledgeable they treated us like family. The selection of fruits, breads, sausages, jams and hot options were at least 100 feet long. Yes, there were lox & fresh bagels with all the accouterments. Breakfast was served in the atrium of the James Center, open & scenic.
Gift shop had delicious samples of pralines that we enjoyed, staff helped us select gifts. Starbucks in the lobby was accommodating too. Hated to leave & we will be back! We couldn't have had a more perfect time in Richmond & the Omni was just perfect.
Unique Quality: Location, plush room and super staff!!
Directions: Right off I95, two blocks from the State Capital.
Omni Richmond Review
Stayed @ Omni Richmond 10/30/10 to 11/1/10 for a wedding. The room was nice but way too noisy. The walls are paper thin. No exaust fan in the bathroom. Tub not to clean, hair in drain. Staff was wonderful. Don't eat at Trevi's, the food was horrible. Bed had a little too much spring in the mattress. Over-all a beautiful Hotel. Good location. People are real friendly & streets are clean.
Unique Quality: We were on the 17th floor, corner room with a great view of the James River & city. Didn't use the pool but it looked beautiful.
Meeting place
In 1997, my agency sent me to a training session of several days in Richmond. We stayed at the Omni. The Omni site says it is a "Contemporary, luxury hotel overlooking the scenic James River. Located in the heart of the city's financial and historic Shockoe District, offering dining, shopping and entertainment options right outside our door."
My room was $63.35/night plus $6.65 tax
Parking at that time was $9.00/night
Local calls were 65 cents each
Unique Quality: I do not remember a lot about this hotel except that they didn't have a pool, and they did have internet access from the room.

Project Description
I represent a company that is a private property lettings based business. We are now in the process of franchising and we need a new logo.
The old logo needs to be changed because it doesn't stand out and it is to complicated.

You can use Elite Estates, Elite Residential or Elite Properties for the name, which ever you like, as we have three options for the new name.
Our target audience are people who are age 25 and over, that are employed, or have a stable source of income. We provide high quality services and we are not a cheap company.
I have attached the old logo so you can have an idea. You don't need to use the same colors or design. We want something creative and up to date. Thanks.Get free quotes for a project like this

Lemon-Orange Ice
|Sugar cubes
|3⁄4 Pound (Large Ones)
|Navel oranges
|3 Medium
|2 Cup (32 tbs)
|Fresh lemon juice
|1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs)
|Lemon juice
|3⁄4 Bunch (75 gm) (1 Small Bunch)
Rub about 10 sugar cubes over the skins of the whole oranges to saturate them with the orange oil.
Then squeeze the oranges.
If they do not produce 1 cup of juice, use another orange.
In a 1 1/2 or 2-quart saucepan, bring the water and all of the sugar cubes to a boil over high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
Timing from the moment when it begins to boil, let the mixture boil briskly, without stirring, for 5 minutes.
Immediately remove the pan from the heat and cool the syrup to room temperature.
Stir in the orange juice and lemon juice, and pour into 2 icecube trays.
Freeze for 3 to 4 hours at least, beating the ice after a half hour to break up the solid particles that will form on the bottom and sides of the tray.
Continue to beat every half hour until the ice has a fine and snowy texture.

Amazon.com founder was flown by helicopter from the Galapagos for kidney stone treatment.
Jeff Bezos, Amazon.com founder and new owner of The Washington Post, was flown from the Galápagos by an Ecuadorian navy helicopter after suffering a kidney stone attack on New Year's day, according to a summary of reports from local newspapers.
The Galápagos Digital website said local media reported Bezos was flown from Academy Bay in Santa Cruz Island, where he was aboard a cruise ship, to his private jet on Baltra Island. He was then taken to the U.S. for emergency treatment.
The website's summary was written by retired NBC News correspondent George Lewis.
Attempts to reach Amazon.com for confirmation of the local reports were not immediately successful.

Packers' crusade is to stop Saints, Brees
Green Bay was on wrong end of 2008 whipping
Green Bay - A few yards away, Charlie Peprah's head turns. The mere mention of "2008" and "Saints" in the Green Bay Packers' locker room Tuesday snags the veteran safety's attention.
"Is that the game we got smashed?" Peprah asked teammate Jarrett Bush. "The one they had like 51 points?"
That'd be the one.
Three years ago - one defensive scheme and a Super Bowl ago - the New Orleans Saints waxed the Packers, 51-29, in the Superdome. It wasn't pretty. The blowout was a low point in Bob Sanders' tenure as defensive coordinator. Saints quarterback Drew Brees moved the ball at flag-football will, burning the Packers for 323 yards and four touchdowns.
Bush and Peprah both said they didn't play - Peprah because of a strained calf, Bush because of an ankle injury. "Not that it would have mattered," Bush admitted.
Suffice to say, much has changed since then. Coaches. Players. The scheme. Still, the objective remains the same in Thursday night's season opener - slow down Brees. The key, all agreed, is confusion.
Against a five-time Pro Bowl player, the Packers need to constantly stay a step ahead.
"You can't stay with one scheme over a long period of time against quarterbacks like Drew," said defensive coordinator Dom Capers, who brought in his 3-4 defense in 2009. "You have to be able to change it up just like they're changing it up.
"They're too good. If they get in a comfort zone and they know you're coming with pressure every time or you're covering every time, it just doesn't work. They're too efficient."
Cornerbacks coach Joe Whitt Jr. was with Green Bay for that '08 game as a defensive quality control coach. He called it one of the two "worst whuppings" he's experienced. A 45-14 loss to South Florida while he was on Louisville's staff ranks up there, too.
That night magnified one glaring error in Sanders' scheme. Too often, cornerbacks were on islands. This was press coverage to the extreme and Brees made Green Bay pay.
"It was really a bad experience for us because they picked us and did a lot of things that beat the scheme that we were running," Whitt said. "We're not going to allow that to happen. I'm not saying they won't beat us, but we're going to make it difficult."
The reason is complexity.
Under Capers, the Packers use several calls and formations. Unpredictability reigns. Different players blitz from different angles. Timing is essential. And most of all, there's a comfort level.
So with a comfortable quarterback and a comfortable defense, expect a match of wits. Capers vs. Brees. Veteran Packers cornerback Charles Woodson said he relishes such a "cat-and-mouse game." Sure, the Packers still use plenty of man coverage, but that's not the be-all, end-all.
This scheme is "fun," Woodson said. Capers camouflages players well. There are always moving parts, always an element of surprise.
"When you just lock down and aren't able to do a whole lot in certain schemes people have, it takes away from your game," Woodson said. "But when you can move around - sometimes the corner comes, sometimes a nickel, sometimes a safety - it makes the game fun. That's why we excel in this scheme."
Against Brees, confusion is a necessity.
"You have no choice," Woodson said. "If you sit back and let a guy pick you apart, that's exactly what he'll do."
That hasn't happened much under Capers. In his 37 games as coordinator, the Packers have allowed only five 300-yard passing games. In those rare instances a quarterback has dissected the Packers, manufacturing a pass rush was a problem.
In the 2009 wild-card game, Kurt Warner shredded the Packers for 379 yards and five touchdowns on 29-of-33 passing. He was sacked once.
Facing a surgeon like Warner or Brees presents a difficult dilemma - blitz at your own risk. Somehow, Green Bay must make Brees uncomfortable. His jersey is rarely muddied. Aaron Rodgers has been sacked 115 times the last three seasons. Brees? Only 58 times.
Sometimes, it takes one hit.
No, defensive lineman Howard Green never heard a snap, crackle or pop when he flattened Kansas City quarterback Matt Cassel for a sack last week. He heard something else. It was music to his ears.
"Some moaning and groaning," Green said.
Wincing underneath the 340-pound Green, Cassel suffered a rib injury. Green isn't out to hurt anybody but he did say one or two smack-downs can change an entire game. Against Brees, the Packers need to generate pressure up the middle. Anything to clutter his windshield. At 6 feet tall, Brees doesn't have the luxury of scanning a defense over the top. Green says the Packers must take advantage of this one chink in Brees' armor.
"For him, vision is everything," Green said. "He's not Peyton Manning at 6-5 or Matt Ryan at 6-4. Those guys are taller so they can see a little clearer on the field. If (Brees) can't see because a guy's in his face, he could miss the receiver being open so quick. In that second he can't see him, that's the difference between a completion and an incompletion."
In other words, anything that throws Brees off his "cat-and-mouse game" with Capers.
Film from that 2008 debacle has not made an appearance in defensive backs meetings. Schematically, players say it's irrelevant. Green Bay's defense is completely different, thus the Saints' counterattack also will be different.
A look of disgust wipes across the faces of players when the game's brought up. They still remember the plane ride home. Nobody joked around like usual, Peprah said. It was pin-drop quiet.
"You never want to lose like that," he said. "That was embarrassing. They dominated."
And yet, the game tipped the first domino. It may be the biggest reason both teams are here facing each other in the national spotlight. Green Bay lost five straight and finished 6-10. Sanders was fired. Capers was hired.
Soon, a Super Bowl triumph followed. And this week, Oneida St. has suddenly turned into, well, Bourbon St.
"That game," said Peprah, "definitely woke us up."

I see in gump.xml: <depend project="avalon-framework-api" groupId="avalon-framework" artifactId="avalon-framework-api" version="4.3"/> Shall we just remove version="" from there and that is it? Vadim

Project Description
An existing and complex multilanguage website needs to be migrated to a new Content-Management-System, this new CMS is based on the Zen Framework.
The scope of the work includes integrating the current look and feel of the website (templating), recreation of the site migration and multi-language features.
Skills required include PHP and at least a basic understanding of Zend Framework as far as programming skills goes and the data input job of copying over the data, images and videos from the old site. For the complex parts of the work, documentation is required.
Complete URLs and description are available in private.
Servers and basic installation will be provided by us with access to the database, the front- and back-end of the CMS and to CLI if necessary.
This site has grown big enough to be unmanageable without a CMS and this is why the migration is planned.
We expect this to take approx. 2-3 weeks to complete, thereafter the switchover will be done and another week of bug-fixing, clean-ups etc. needs to be done.
Payment will be made each week in installments, with the balance of 20% kept for the bug-fixing-period after the site will be switched over to the new CMS.

Based in the small town of Buena Vista, Georgia, Armageddon Gear is quietly becoming a leading "go-to" source for innovative USA-made tactical gear. Armageddon Gear is a result of the collective ideas of former and current Special Operations Soldiers, competition shooters and Patriots. The Armageddon Gear brand products are designed to be simple, efficient and extremely rugged. Now, Armageddon Gear and A-TACS Camo are proud to announce a full assortment of nylon gear in A-TACS AU and FG Camo patterns.
Starah Manah AK Chest Rig; A-TACS AU or FG Camo
The Armageddon Gear "Starah Manah" AK Chest Rig is designed with the same principles as the Kalashnikov rifle itself; simplicity, durability, and combat-focused performance. The Starah Manah is a modern interpretation of the classic AK chest rig worn around the world for decades. Users can add modular accessory pouches onto the rig's dual webbing panels left and right. Magazines are held securely by field-replaceable shock cord in a double-layered and reinforced pouch body that is specifically designed for the shape and sharp edges of traditional Kalashnikov magazines. Each pouch features Armageddon Gear's exclusive Mag-Control geometry to overcome the challenge AK users faced due to the highly curved shape of the 7.62×39 AK magazine. The shape of these magazines forces them to lean over to one side when placed in a straight-walled mag pouch. With Mag-Control pouches these curved magazines are held in a proper vertical position for enhanced ease and speed of removal. Additionally, the pouch size will also accommodate standard size 30 rd. mags (as pictured) making it the perfect multi-use platform for any situation.
The Armageddon Gear Suppressor Mirage Cover; A-TACS AU or FG Camo
The Armageddon Gear Suppressor Mirage Cover significantly reduces and delays the effects of suppressor mirage on the rifleman's ability to identify and engage his target. The highly-secure design stays in place during vigorous movement, yet can be easily adjusted or removed in seconds. Note that it is rated for use on bolt-action and semi-automatic precision rifles and is not for use on fully-automatic weapons. The innovative carbon infused insulating inner core ensures NO contact between the A-TACS Camo outer nylon shell and the hot suppressor and the fully adjustable shock cord ensures custom fit and retention.
For more information on these and other products in A-TACS AU and FG Camo now available from Armageddon Gear, visit them online at www.armageddongear.com.
Keep your ice-cold beers frosty and your trigger fingers warm with the Armageddon Gear Beer Bivy. Available in two sizes to protect cans and bottles* from thermal shift due to atmospheric exposure. Adjustable shock-cord retention keeps the AG Beer Bivy in place during dynamic drinking operations.

To get yours, visit them online at www.armageddongear.com…Here's to ya!
Arizona Camo introduces new high-quality t-shirts in both A-TACS AU and A-TACS FG Camo patterns. Cut in a front-pocket design, these shirts feature full A-TACS Camo detailing on the collar. Additionally, these shirts are cut longer and fuller than an average t-shirt of the same size to account for shrinkage that commonly occurs with cotton garments. Simply wash them in cold water and tumble dry a few times for a perfect fit and a length that will actually stay tucked in. Arizona Camo shirts are made in the USA. For more information or to order, visit them online at www.azcamo.com.

Labrador Iron Ore Royalty Corporation ("LIORC") is a Canadian corporation resulting from the conversion of the Labrador Iron Ore Royalty Income Fund (the "Fund") under an Arrangement effective on July 1, 2010. LIORC is also the successor by amalgamation under the Arrangement of Labrador Mining Company Limited, formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund. Under the Arrangement, the Fund distributed $248 million of subordinated notes to its unitholders and the unitholders exchanged their units of the Fund for common shares of LIORC.
Effective on October 3, 2012 the subordinated notes were exchanged for common shares and the common shares were consolidated, with the result that each holder ended up holding the same number of common shares as before the exchange, and LIORC had 64 million common shares outstanding. The common shares trade on The Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol LIF.
LIORC, directly and through its wholly-owned subsidiary Hollinger-Hanna Limited ("Hollinger-Hanna"), holds a 15.10% equity interest in Iron Ore Company of Canada ("IOC") and receives a 7% gross overriding royalty and a 10 cent per tonne commission on all iron ore products produced, sold and shipped by IOC.
Generally, LIORC pays cash dividends from its net income to the maximum extent possible, subject to the maintenance of appropriate levels of working capital. The common shareholders receive quarterly dividends on the common shares on the 25th day of the month following the end of each quarter.
The common shares are qualified investments under the Income Tax Act (Canada) for deferred plans, including registered retirement savings plans, registered retirement income funds and deferred profit sharing plans.
LIORC has a Board of nine directors, an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating Committee. The Committees are composed of independent directors. Scotia Managed Companies Administration Inc., pursuant to an administration agreement, acts as the administrator of LIORC.
The income of LIORC is entirely dependent on IOC, as the only assets of LIORC and its subsidiary are related to IOC and its operations. IOC is Canada's largest iron ore producer, operating a mine, concentrator and pellet plant at Labrador City, Newfoundland and Labrador, and is among the top five producers of seaborne iron ore pellets in the world. It has been producing and processing iron ore concentrate and pellets since 1954. IOC is strategically situated to serve the markets of the Great Lakes and the balance of the world from its year-round port facilities at Sept-Iles, Quebec.
IOC has ore reserves sufficient for at least 28 years at the current rate of production, with additional resources of a greater magnitude. Currently it has the capacity to extract around 55 million tonnes of crude ore annually. The crude ore is processed into iron ore concentrate and then either sold or converted into different qualities of iron ore pellets to meet its customers needs. The iron ore concentrate and pellets are transported to IOC's port facilities at Sept-Iles, Quebec via its wholly-owned Quebec North Shore and Labrador Railway, a 418 kilometer rail line which links the mine and the port. From there, the products are shipped to markets throughout North America, Europe, the Middle East and the Asia–Pacific region.
IOC's 2015 sales totaled 17.9 million tonnes comprised of 9.5 million tonnes of iron ore concentrate and 8.4 million tonnes of iron ore pellets. Production in 2015 was 9.3 million tonnes of pellets and 8.4 million tonnes of concentrate. IOC generated ore sales revenues (excluding third party ore sales) of $1,387 million in 2015 (2014 - $1,595 million).
LIORC holds certain mining leases and mining licenses covering approximately 18,200 hectares of land near Labrador City. IOC has leased certain portions of these lands from which it currently mines iron ore. In return, IOC pays LIORC a 7% gross overriding royalty on all sales of iron ore products produced from these lands. A 20% tax on the royalty is payable to the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador. For the five years prior to 2015, the average royalty (net of the 20% tax) had been approximately $111.9 million per year and in 2015 the net royalty was $79.8 million (2014 – $92.5 million).
Because the royalty is "off-the-top", it is not dependent on the profitability of IOC. However, it is affected by changes in sales volumes, iron ore prices and, because iron ore prices are denominated in US dollars, the United States – Canadian dollar exchange rate.
In addition to the royalty interest, LIORC, directly and through Hollinger-Hanna, owns a 15.10% equity interest in IOC. The other shareholders of IOC are Rio Tinto Limited with 58.72% and Mitsubishi Corporation with 26.18%.
Hollinger-Hanna has the right to receive a payment of 10 cents per tonne on the products sold by IOC. Pursuant to an agreement, IOC is obligated to make the payment to Hollinger-Hanna so long as Hollinger-Hanna is in existence and solvent. In 2015, Hollinger-Hanna received a total of $1.8 million in commissions from IOC (2014 - $1.4 million).
LIORC is a taxable corporation under the Income Tax Act (Canada) and is subject to income tax on its net income. The primary income of LIORC is royalties from IOC. Expenses of LIORC include interest and administrative expenses. Dividends from IOC and Hollinger-Hanna are received by LIORC tax free.
All dividends paid by LIORC on its common shares are eligible dividends under the Act.

No More Dates
The reason, you want a reason?
'Yes', he replied.
Ok then, while you desired me for a wife
Another man walked into my life.
The truth is I'm not what you perceive,
I'm not everything you have chosen to believe.
You see the outer shell, words, actions; outer stealth
Protecting a weak, sensitive, soul-hurting self.
The intruder met me, unannounced,
Saw tears in my eyes, denounced,
Saw the fears in my soul, pronounced;
Yet he persevered with every ounce, to break me.
His morals were questionable,
His methods were reprehensible,
His motives indefinable,
His modes operandus detestable.
His determination made him victorious,
He stole my heart and felt glorious,
He stole my halo and left me shaken,
He conquered and left me broken.
So, no matter what you do, sir,
Or how hard you try to woo, sir,
The truth; the reason is: There's nothing left inside
To make me desire to be any man's bride; lost at anyone's side.

i just heard an old wives tale about dipping a dummy in gripe water to help baby settle
anyone done this?? does it work??
i just heard an old wives tale about dipping a dummy in gripe water to help baby settle
anyone done this?? does it work??
Haven't tried it, but have heard from several sources not to do it. Not really sure why. Probably something to do with introducing too much sweet stuff to babies, like putting juice in bottles and stuff...
Like most old wives tales, they need to be taken with a pinch of salt...
Why is bub's unsettled? Look at why bub's is unsettled or why you think they need settling.
It is not recommended to put dummies into anything except bub's mouth
Good luck
I've heard of this, but it doesn't really work for the purpose of settling babies for wind and colic as its not enough. I suspect its moreso the sweet taste which keeps baby interested in sucking the dummy. I would avoid it tbh.
DD has always refused to use a dummy but when we went to a sleep clinic the midwives and child health nurses said to dip their dummy in a little gripe water to help them keep the dummy in their mouth...
I use to do it all the time for ds when he was a bub, worked a treat until he started sucking the dummy a few times then spitting it out demanding more gripe water, he basically got addicted to the stuff!
It is warned though that putting anything on a dummy can cause tooth decay. Also if you are going to use gripe water use the one without alcohol in it. I used to get it from the pharmacy as the supermarket one had alcohol in it.

It is just as well that Mark Thompson's biting days are behind him. American newspapers take a dimmer view of newsroom "high jinks" than the BBC did when its future director-general bit into a junior reporter's arm when he was running the Nine O'Clock News in the late Eighties. One can only imagine the disciplinary uproar that "man bites man" might cause at the stately New York Times, the beacon of liberal newsgathering in the US, which Mr Thompson is going to run.
The British executive has come far in the intervening years. But as he sets sail for the US, and his new challenges, it seems he may yet again have to bare his teeth. With revenues falling, The New York Times looks in need of the same brand of cost-cutting that Mr Thompson brought to the Beeb.
Mr Thompson was announced late on Tuesday as the new chief executive of The New York Times Company.
For watchers of the US newspaper scene, the appointment of a man steeped in news broadcasting, and with no print experience whatsoever, looks a leftfield appointment to run the 'Gray Lady'. Yet there are similarities between the BBC and The New York Times. Both have built up huge news operations while being assailed by outsiders for a perceived liberal bias. Both have a public service mission at their core. Both, in different ways, have been pioneers on the internet.And both are facing a harsh squeeze on their revenues. Mr Thompson will certainly have his work cut out.
Ed Atorino, analyst at Benchmark Company, who monitors shares in the New York Times Company, is not a fan of the appointment.
"He is British and he is not a print guy, he has not worked with the print community, and there are a lot of prima donna reporters at the Times, the cream of the crop. Will he speak their language? Can he have an immediate impact? Running The New York Times is a far cry from running the BBC."
Mr Thompson, who has worked in broadcasting mainly, is one of the few directors-general to have found another major media job on leaving the BBC.
