Some delegations will be very happy this morning; others will not. We'll get to that in a moment.
First, it is important to remember that this is a running order rather than a 'draw': with the exception of hosts Portugal, all the slots for this weekend's Grand Final were producer-assigned. Granted, each entry 'drew' either the first or second half, but that still gives the production team a range of 13 slots from which to choose for each entry. And a great deal of scope, in terms of which entries to put adjacent to one another.
Let's jump right in.
If they are awake, the Irish, Cypriot, Dutch, Israeli and Hungarian delegations should be very pleased. They are in one of the two prime ranges (21st to 25th) and there is a good amount of contrast between the genres, artists, and stagings. Our hunch is that Ireland and Cyprus–who will repeat their order of performance, though Italy will close the Grand Final – were both in the top three of the Tuesday's Semi Final.
The other prime range is usually 7-11. Portugal randomly drew 8th, so the new range could be 6-11 or 7-12th. It seems likelier that Estonia did better than Albania: they have neighbours and a few friends in the Scandinavian bloc, plus Elina Netsayeva might have done well with the russosphere. Albania struggles to qualify in most years and had a terrible draw in semi-final one. That means that either Norway or Serbia did well in the second semi-final. Our hunch is that would be Norway.
France (13th), Czech Republic (14th), Denmark (15th) and Australia (16th) have OK draws. Finland (17th), Bulgaria (18th), Moldova (19th) and Sweden (20th) are similarly positioned.
Spain (second) and Slovenia (third) have been buried in the first half. Italy's been sort of buried in the second half (last/26th); Lithuania (4th) and Austria (5th) in the first half. None of these should be thrilled.
Time To Rest
The first semi-finalists–assuming they haven't done a lot of appearances yesterday or today as part of their promotional campaigns–all have had two days off from rehearsals. Tonight's qualifiers aren't as lucky. Keep an ear on Ukraine, Australia, Hungary, Moldova, and Norway. Ukraine goes from closer to opener, which did not go well for Israel in 2017. Expect the cleverer of these to rest their voices partially or entirely during the first and third rehearsals for the Grand Final, which start in less than 12 hours!

Horror stories frighten children, but can turn into a bit of fun when trusted adults assure them they are made-up, and that the beasties and bogles don't really exist. Seeing adults make fun out of the monsters can help children do the same, while at the same time enjoying the tingle of a scary story.
But horror stories about the climate told by alarmists to children have no such happy ending. They need to persuade them the scares are real, and really threatening. The best they can do for their young spirits is to assert that we can do something about it. But how is a child to get this into perspective? You are, say, 8 years old and you have to help save the planet, or else?
Here is what one project designed to increase the awareness of children about climate did earlier this year in London. They got a successful writer of vampire stories for children, a Mr Darren Shan, to pen a piece for them on climate change. Here it is:
'If London gets hotter and drier, everyone will sweat more! The city will stink of sweaty armpits and feet and other body bits!! The heat will turn the sweat to steam, which means we'll be walking through swog (sweaty smog) every time we step outside!!! Every time you breathe in, it will be like licking a slug's belly!!!! There will be no more trains in the tube - you'll simply grab a rubber ring and sail down an underground river of sweat to your destination!!!!!
'Unless you LIKE sweat, it's time to start walking whenever you can, use public transport, recycle, don't waste water or energy - hey, we're not talking rocket science here! The world's in bad shape, and a lot of people don't care - they're going to carry on as recklessly and selfishly as before. Don't be one of them. Fight the good fight. Do what you can to help the environment. Try getting your friends to do their bit too. We're NOT helpless. This is a battle we CAN win. But only with people like YOU. It's going to take billions of small, personal steps to stop climate change and get our planet back on track. Every one of those steps is essential. Every individual counts. Be brave. Be considerate. Be smart. Or prepare yourself for the horrors to come as one of the unfortunate, stench-ridden citizens of PLANET SWEAT!!!!!!'
(Published at: http://www.london.gov.uk/media/press_releases_mayoral/young-people%C2%A0urged-give-creative%C2%A0climate-change%C2%A0ideas-top%C2%A0vampire%C2%A0autho)
Now of course there is no good science to back up this scaremongering. Even the IPCC projections, which of course the real temperatures have stubbornly refused to comply with, talk only of a few degrees of warming. Thus London with a average low/high temperatures in January of 32F/44F and 52F/71F in July, could still be cooler than the current climate in Rome which has average lows/highs of 38F/55F in January and 64F/83F in July (http://goeurope.about.com/od/historicclimate/Europe_Climate_Historic_Averages.htm).
Who would trade the climate of Rome for the climate of London? Not scary at all. In fact, quite attractive. But of course when you are a zealot, you must not concede any benefits from the devils you are trying to paint into the world view of others, and so instead we are given breathing as like 'licking a slug's belly', and the tube as an 'underground river of sweat'.
Here is how one tourist site ( http://londonhotelsinsight.com/2010/04/19/big-city-showdown-london-or-rome/ ) sees it:
'London's annual average temperature is 11°C, whilst Rome's is 16°C.
Result: Rome is a clear winner, unless you're keen on drizzle and scarves!'
One of the problems facing alarmists intent on scaring children into conformance, is that there are many benefits to be gained from a further rise in temperatures in the temperate to polar regions (where they assert the largest rises would occur), and in fact even quite a modest cooling there would present many problems. There are of course grounds to believe that we may well entering a cooling phase for the next 20 years or so. Perhaps Mr Shan will have to be brought back in with a different brief, this one involving perhaps icebergs in the Thames, and underground rivers of ice? Or better still, if it does indeed get cooler over the next few years, how about bringing him back as a warning to children to be wary of adults trying to scare them? And as an indictment of whoever commissioned him in London in 2010 to frighten their children.
PS I meant to add this earlier. About a month after the London report referred to above, there were reports published based on a research paper speculating about very uncomfortable, indeed life-threatening temperatures being reached. This has been rebutted here: http://pielkeclimatesci.wordpress.com/2010/05/13/comments-on-the-study-researchers-find-future-temperatures-could-exceed-livable-limits/

What's New for the 2018 Toyota Tacoma?
Since 1995, the Toyota Tacoma has been a more-than-decent choice among compact—and later, midsize—pickup truck shoppers. And the 2018 model—part of the nameplate's third production cycle—stands out with its high level of off-road capability, a richness of standard equipment, and a higher payload capacity than many of its rivals. Although no major changes have been made for the 2018 model year, the TRD Pro—which was introduced the year before as the most off-road-capable trim—is still around. It joins the other trims, which are, in ascending order, the SR, SR5, TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, and Limited. The 2018 Toyota Tacoma is available as a two-door Access Cab or four-door Double Cab.
The lower-level SR and SR5 trims are powered by a 2.7-liter inline 4-cylinder engine that produces 159 horsepower and 180 lb-ft of torque. The other trims go with a 3.5-liter V6 with 278 horsepower and 265 lb-ft of torque. Glued to either engine is a 6-speed manual transmission or 6-speed automatic transmission. Although there are two available drivetrains with the rear-wheel and four-wheel drive systems, the TRD Off-Road and TRD Pro have standard four-wheel drive. Comfort and convenience features on the 2018 Tacoma include Bluetooth® wireless technology, a 2.2-inch multi-information LCD display, and an Entune™ Audio system that includes six-speaker AM/FM CD audio, Siri® Eyes Free voice recognition, and a 6.1-inch touchscreen display. Upgrading to the SR5 provides additions or enhancements like remote keyless entry, a 4.2-inch multi-information LCD display (in place of the 2.2-inch), a complimentary three-month subscription to SiriusXM® satellite radio, HD Radio™, and the Connected Navigation App. Starting with the TRD Sport, Toyota introduces features like a 7-inch touchscreen (in place of the 6.1-inch) and wireless charging ability. Leather-trimmed seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and a HomeLink® universal transceiver for remote-controlling garage doors appear on the Limited and TRD Pro. Only the Limited has a six-speaker JBL® audio system, which includes a subwoofer. Most safety equipment on the 2018 Toyota Tacoma is grouped into two categories: Star Safety System™ (vehicle stability control, traction control, anti-lock braking with electronic brake-force distribution and brake assist, and smart stop technology) and Toyota Safety Sense™P (lane departure alert, automatic high beams, dynamic radar cruise control, and pre-collision system with pedestrian detection). Other standard safety features include hill start assist control, a backup camera, engine immobilization as a security mechanism, and six airbags. A blind spot monitor, rear cross-traffic alert, and a rear parking assist system are exclusive to the Limited and TRD Pro

1.On the note of the Super Soldiers (or Super Victims a.k.a. White House Boys) do you take any of their stories and wild adventures seriously? I have met some of these people just in my daily life here in Taiwan and feel they truly believe in their experiences.
- Were you aware that James Casbolt went from a professing Christian to suddenly an outright Satanist? And why do you feel he deserves to be in Jail?
- If possible I'd like you to elaborate on the demonic entity H.A.A.R.P is utilizing and how this could be something the U.S. Government is trying to deal with the O-Kami that the Japanese use. When you talk of the demons not even descending to the level of destruction that these evil ancient entities of destruction use, are you talking of the traditional demons that the Shinto religion talks about?
- Since many people listening are Christians from the Alternative Media, perhaps you could share a little bit about your faith and how you came to be a Christian. What's it like to be a Christian surrounded constantly by so people with esoteric/occult outlooks on life? You have my greatest admiration!
- On the subject of the German moon base, how is it that every nation that sends a probe to the moon never talks about this?

text: Huexxx 2 Report post Posted November 7, 2012 Hi all! My girlfriend has a Spanish GEN2 Yoigo Blade and I'm thinking in repartition the sub-optimal default layout. - Any news with TPT over stock Yoigo GEN2 blades? As far as I can read, the method doesn't work on this specific model. - The phone is stock GEN2, but could maybe yoigo have upgraded it from GEN1 before launch it? So, does someone have tried with G1-G2 v10a apart from G2 v2a? Can this attempt harm my phone, or it won't simply don't work? - The available method then would be to do it via windows: http://www.modaco.com/topic/339048-guide-flashing-firmware-to-bladelibra-via-windows/ but I have some doubts... -- The recommended pack is custom Gen2 160 v10 but I don't understand what exactly stands for... will this convert my stock GEN2 onto a GEN1-to-GEN2 phone? There isn't pure GEN2 packs with 160mb system partition to flash from windows? -- Does this pack offer more partition space than pure GEN2 TPTs? Without contraindications? -- Once I've flashed that, will I be able to use G1-to-G2 TPTs? -- Once I've done it, is there a way to return to stock GEN2 TPT? Regards and thanks!

Imagine skiing or snowshoeing along a groomed track through Maine's wild woods, climbing to ridge-top views, gliding along icy rivers, and at the end of the day reaching a cozy hut to enjoy a hearty, locally sourced meal, great company, and a warm bed. It may sound like a dream, but you can make it a reality with a journey along Maine Huts & Trails multi-use, recreational trails, and waterways in Maine's Lakes and Mountains region.
The nonprofit organization operates eco-friendly lodges scattered along an 80-mile trail network in the state's northwestern wilderness, stretching from Sugarloaf in Carrabassett Valley to the small town of West Forks. The well-marked trails are perfect for a first-time backwoods adventure on cross-country skis or snowshoes, passing scenic overlooks, frozen lakes, and side trips to waterfalls. During your journey along the well-marked trails, you can stay in four comfortable huts and make the most of your trip with ski lessons and guided backcountry trips. Plus, the friendly staff members of Maine Huts & Trails will make sure each hut feels like a home away from home.
Waiting for you at the end of each day on the trail is an off-the-grid hut. But, the term "hut" can be a little deceiving, because these are far from crude cabins. Instead, they're incredibly inviting, sustainable lodges with electricity provided by an array of "green" technologies. Plus, each hut has a radiant floor system warmed by a wood gasification boiler, indoor composting lavatories, hot showers, and a drying room. A gracious staff serves dinner and local craft beer and wine at night, breakfast in the morning, and provides a bagged "trail lunch" for you to take along as you continue your journey. The huts are "screen-free," meaning visitors are encouraged to stash their phones and chat with other guests, read a book, or play board games.
If you've dreamed of taking a winter hut-to-hut adventure, there's no better or easier place to do it than Maine's Lakes and Mountains region. And the following insider info will give you a good idea of what to expect and offer tips on making the most of your journey.
Know Before You Go
From Portland, Maine, you can reach the Maine Huts & Trails system easily by driving 100 miles north to Carrabassett Valley. The four huts—Stratton Brook, Poplar, Flagstaff, and Grand Falls—are spaced along trails you can access from seven trailheads.
Many winter enthusiasts do the entire hut-to-hut trail in five days and four nights, while others ski to a hut and use it as a basecamp to explore the surrounding terrain on day trips. Grand Falls, the most remote hut, offers a private experience, while the easily accessible Flagstaff Hut is popular with people doing one-night trips.
Planning Your Hut-to-Hut Adventure
On the Maine Huts & Trails website, you can easily to plan a two-day adventure where you ski between a couple of huts and then catch a lift back to your car. When you're on the site, you can build a family-friendly or adults-only adventure by first finding out which winter activities appeal to your group, including skiing, snowshoeing, fat-tire biking, family fun, and wildlife study. Then, determine the adventurer style of the group—Relaxed, Enthusiastic, or Trailblazer—and decide on an itinerary from suggested trips.
You'll also find a packing list for winter gear, extra clothes, and a basic self-rescue kit as well as recommendations if you need to rent skis or snowshoes. While you can ski the trails between December and late March, the best season is March when you'll enjoy warmer temperatures and longer days.
A Typical Day on the Trail
A day on the trail begins with a mug of steaming coffee and an assortment of entrees made from locally sourced ingredients including pancakes, frittatas, breakfast burritos, and oatmeal. (Vegan options are also available.) After packing up, you'll strap on your skis or snowshoes, or climb atop your fat bike and head off through stands of cedar, pine, and white birch to the next hut. It's best to get an early start since the huts are a day's human-powered journey apart with distances ranging from 7-14 miles.
If you don't want to carry a heavy pack, go light by having your luggage shuttled by caretakers to the next lodge. The clean ski tracks, groomed regularly throughout the week, are fast and easy to follow through this winter wonderland, while side trails take you to mountaintops and lofty viewpoints.
Even if you don't have a ton of backcountry skiing experience, you'll still be able to easily navigate the trail network. The well-marked, groomed trails are perfect for self-guided novices using classic skinny skis or snowshoes. The trails are designated with color-coded markers, making them easy to follow, and traverse gentle terrain with occasional uphill sections and short downhills. Along the way, you'll skin through pristine forests and enjoy fabulous scenery. With its cozy lodges, moderate trails, and easy access from major cities in both the U.S. and Canada, Maine Huts & Trails is simply the best hut-to-hut winter adventure in North America.
Share a meal and stories of the trail.
At the end of the trail each day, you'll be welcomed to a spacious lodge, glowing among snow-laden trees. Inside is warmth, good company, a drying room for damp clothes, and hot showers. Using local produce and sustainably raised meat, the hut staff will prepare a family-style evening meal that's served in a dining room. You can enjoy delicious entrees like shepherd's pie, burritos, pumpkin pasta, and vegan sloppy Joes, accompanied by salads and cornbread, with cupcakes and carrot cake for dessert.
Sharing stories and experiences with other people around the dinner table or in the lodge library are one of the best parts of the Maine hut experience. You'll find plenty in common with fellow adventurers and make new friends. You can spend the evening chatting around a wood stove or playing games before retiring to a simple bunkhouse for a quiet night.
Guided Adventures
If you don't want to head into the north woods alone, hire a certified Maine guide that partners with Maine Huts & Trails. Allagash Canoe Trips and Outdoor Guide Adventures offer a wide range of winter experiences, including Learn to Ski classes, a Women's Only Ski Adventure, Grand Falls Exploration, Full "Wolf" Moon Snowshoeing, yoga retreats at Poplar Hut, and guided multi-day hut-to-hut tours. Book directly with the outfitters or visit the Maine Huts & Trails website for more information.

STORY FROM: Talcum Powder Litigation Report
Johnson & Johnson Takes Aim at 3rd Party Litigation Financing in Response to Plaintiffs' Steering Committee Bid
November 29, 2016
TRENTON, N.J. — Johnson & Johnson has asked the federal judge presiding over the talcum powder MDL to require plaintiffs to disclose whether any third parties — including litigation funding companies — have a contingent monetary interest in the outcome of the cases.
Johnson & Johnson's request was included in a Nov. 28 response to a joint application for appointment of the plaintiffs' steering committee to which the defendant said it took no position.
Instead, the response focused primarily on an apparent discrepancy in plaintiffs' statements to the court indicating that there remains much discovery yet to be conducted ...

For John, BLUF: There is wisdom in many unexplored nooks and crannies. Nothing to see here; just move along.
For reasons I don't really understand, I get the newsletter In & Out, from W Magazine. Once is a while I see something good, like this quote from Justin Vivian Bond:
"I used to wanna change the world. Now I just wanna leave the room with a little dignity."That Justin Vivian Bond is to some degree a transgendered person neither adds to or distracts from the insight of the quote.

8570 Ohio 73, Waynesville, OH 45068
Quick Review: A nice lake with good hiking trails.
Cesar Creek is one of Ohio's many state parks. It is half lake and half trails. The 43 miles of trails make it a great place to hike. With 2,830 acres of water and no horsepower limit on your boat it is a fun place to be on the water.
Hiking in the park, as with most southwestern Ohio parks, is mostly through two distinct environments, forest, or prairie. Hiking at the park is nice but not as well maintained as some of the other parks. This is not a bad thing however, allowing for great views of plant succession. Forest hiking is great with many of the trails following the lake. The deeper parts of the forest are not as old growth however.
The lake itself is an awesome place to go to boat or even swim. With a decent beach front and multiple boat ramps the park offers many opportunities to get wet. Watch out though many people means many problems. Avoid the weekend rush and the park can be one of the best places to go locally.
A good place to start any visit to the park is the welcome center. With displays on the history of the park and region and even movies to watch it is a nice place to learn about history of the area. Have a question? Ask a park ranger there. They enjoy helping. Don't know what trail to take? The park rangers will know what the best one is for the season.
Also located on the premises is a "Pioneer Village" and a nature center. The Pioneer Village is more of just an outcropping of old building than a real "Village." Having not gone when the village has had its historical actors working I cannot comment on how well they do, but I can say that it is busy when festivals are held so they must be popular. The nature center is a small building with a few animals a couple of displays. There are also a few cages outside with animals being rehabilitated. Around the grounds are a couple of ponds that seem to have a lot of wild life to see in the warmer months. The trails from the center are short and scenic. The nature canter is the perfect place to take kids who might get overwhelmed or bored on the longer trails.
Quick tip: Ask a park ranger!

I embroidered this tea towel for my mom for mothers day (something small that I could send in the mail). It was harder than I thought because the material was more like cheesecloth rather than normal fabric so I had to watch the stitching pretty carefully.
This is another pattern (which I sort of altered) from Doe-C-Doe blog.
These are the lovely flowers that my husband got for me for mothers day,he also made a fabulous breakfast Sunday morning. On Saturday we were able to go garage sale-ing as a family (I LOVE garage sales!!) so that made the weekend even better(although I didn't have much luck at the sales, it was still a lot of fun). I am so blessed to have such a great husband and daughter!
I also made cards for my mom, mom-in-law, and all the grandmas which will be posted later on in the week because I know some of them haven't recieved them in the mail yet!
I have been busy working on four paintings and a photo display wall so hopefully I can share those with you soon! Happy craftin'

What do EYE see when I look at this painting?
I see me.
I see my brain lavender from the intensified lust I have for knowledge and wisdom, I see my ego in the outline of a man.. I see the garden as my flesh, constantly blossoming through seasons. The scenery reflects my ever so vivid imagination, the little birdy in my ear that won't shut up about all the stuff he's heard but knows I need to hear it.
In essence, I see my reflection.

MEDFORD, OR — Britt Music & Arts Festival is pleased to announce the receipt of a $15,000 grant from The Oregon Community Foundation to support upcoming artist residencies in schools in Jackson and Josephine Counties. The residencies will include a variety of musicians, and will range in scope and length. All school visits will be provided at no cost to the schools.
The grant includes an award from the Campagna Family Fund ($1000) and the Evelyn Nye Cultural and Scholarship Fund ($14,000) of the Oregon Community Foundation.
Britt Director of Education Kay Hilton says, "We are incredibly grateful that the OCF has chosen to support the expansion of our in-school residency program. Connecting students with professional teaching musicians during the school year is one of the most valuable music education services Britt can provide. The financial support of OCF and other funders is crucial to the continued development of this program."
In the 2015-16 school year, Britt sent seven ensembles into elementary, middle and high schools in Jackson and Josephine Counties, as part of an expanded effort to give schools and students an opportunity to connect with professional musicians. The in-school artist residencies for the new school year will be announced at a later date.
Inspired by its intimate and scenic hillside venue, Britt Music & Arts Festival provides diverse live performances, an incomparable classical festival and dynamic education programs that create a sense of discovery and community. Since its grassroots beginnings in 1963, the non-profit organization has grown from a two-week chamber music festival to a summer-long series of concerts in a variety of genres, including a three-week Classical Festival, and year-round education and engagement programs.

I finally found them! I've been looking for a series of pictures I took 18 months ago but it wasn't until yesterday that I found them.
My daughter was asked to paint some wooden letters for a child's room. When she told me about the project, I thought she would paint on letter blue and another red. She might add a stenciled daisy to a letter or two.
Several months later, I was shocked to see the end product. For a small finder's fee paid to her father, you too can have a brilliant and beautiful wall decoration. The phone lines are open and operators are standing by to take your orders right now!

I wrote about the death of our dog Jefe (left) last week. I said that he gave us so many gifts – so many moments of laughter and love – during his lifetime. Thinking about it since then, it occurred to me that pets like Jefe provide us with another sort of gift, an existential gift.
Dogs have a relatively short lifespan – typically 8 to 15 years. That's enough time for us to see them grow from puppies into adults and then into those frail years. It's also enough time for us to learn to love them. Sometimes very deeply. But then they die and we have to deal with the grief of losing them. It's painful, but we go through it and we move on.
We're likely to experience the death of half a dozen pets before we are middle-aged. That's half a dozen opportunities that our beloved pets give us to practice the grieving and recovery process – to prepare us for what we will one day have to go through with the humans we love and have loved for the longer length of human life.

Editor's Note: I was on vacation and couldn't get this up in time but what follows is the PBP from Saturday night. It was historic.
By: Jimbo X
Well, it's time for the UFC's annul Fourth of July PPV, and this year we've got ourselves a big one — figuratively, symbolically, and literally.
Champion versus champion bouts in the UFC are pretty rare. In fact, throughout the 25-year history of the promotion, there's never been a Light Heavyweight Champion vs. Heavyweight Champion contest — until tonight.
Of course, the UFC would prefer such a bout occur with slightly more marketable names than Stipe Miocic and Daniel Cormier (indeed, one can only imagine the inevitable Jon Jones vs. Brock Lesnar vs. USADA post-fight drug testing triangle match will at least double the buy rates of this show.) But still, there's no denying the match-up between Cleveland's greatest living athlete and arguably the best overall heavyweight fighter of the last decade is an intriguing one.
Both D.C. and Stipe are outstanding wrestlers. They can both hit hard as motherfuckers, too. And for their sizes, their cardio is surprisingly solid. If a motherfucker wants to get in a brawl, each man is more than capable of lobbing some bombs, and if somebody wants to get all chess match on these suckahs, they can certainly make it a technical showcase if need be.
The bottom line, though, is that whoever walks away the victor in tonight's main event is unquestionably the greatest Heavyweight fighter in MMA history. Yep, better than Fedor or Randy Couture or Cain Velasquez or Cole Konrad. If Miocic wins, that means he's vanquished seven probable UFC Hall of Famers (including five former UFC champions) in a row, and if Cormier wins? Well, in addition to making him a two weight-class champ, it also makes him the only fighter in history to hold the UFC, Strikeforce and King of the Cage Heavyweight Championships.
So yes, it's an old canard, I know, but for once, the UFC brass ain't laying in their marketing — tonight, MMA history truly will be made, and you'd have to be one pitiful fool to miss out on this one.
And hey, the undercard (at least for the PPV portion) ain't too bad looking, either. We've got two black heavyweights duking it out in a probable number one contender's match (which also practically guarantees us a CTE-inducing knockout finish, at that), plus a whole bunch of dudes we all thought we're going to be really, really good that started losing a lot of fights desperately, direly trying to make themselves relevant again in our three lead-in Pay-Per-View contests. I mean, if the likes of Gokhan Saki, Mike Perry and Anthony goddamn motherfuckin' Pettis isn't enough to get you to fork over $59.99, what will?
And — as always — we here at The Internet Is In America will be covering the fighting festivities ALL NIGHT LONG, as our patented, industry-leading LIVE COVERAGE begins TONIGHT at 10 P.M. So if you're one of those poor souls whose computers are too old and shitty to download an illegal stream or the local sports bar banned you for life for trying to goose an 18-year-old waitress, no worries, Holmes.
So all that to say, be here or be queer (or be here and be queer, we're a more tolerant society these days) around 10 o'clock and we'll keep you abreast and avaginaed of all of the wonder and whimsy UFC 226 has to offer. And how about doing us a kindness and letting all your fight fan friends on social media know about our free public service this evening? Not only will they appreciate and admire your generosity, you might even get oral out of it. Maybe.
Saki is a Dutch-Turkish kickboxer motherfucker who's pretty accomplished in K1, with victories over the likes of Tyrone Spong, Melvin Manhoef and Anderson Silva (but, uh, not that Anderson Silva.) He's 1-1 in MMA competition, but he did look pretty good in his UFC debut last September, when he knocked Henrique da Silva da fuq out in Saitama. Roundtree, on the other hand, has had an up-and-down career since joining the UFC in 2016, collecting a 2-2-0-1 record over the last two or so years. But more importantly, his Wikipedia page says he once weighed 300 pounds, his dad was shot and killed while doing security detail for Boyz II Men and he's a fan of The Village People … which, naturally, makes him the house favorite around these parts.
Thanks to Chiesa being unable to make weight, he loses 30 percent of his purse and this fight is now officially a catchweight contest at 157.5 pounds (which has to be the most random ass number I've ever seen for such a contest.) By and large Chiesa has had a pretty decent tenure in the UFC, with wins over Beniel Dariush, Jim Miller and Colton Smith, but in his last go-at-it more than a year ago he got choked out like a bitch by Kevin Lee. Anthony Pettis, on the other hand, is a man who will forever be known for one thing — which, of course, is going 7-6 in the UFC after spin kicking Ben Henderson's Will Smith-looking face off that one time in WEC. Naturally, that adds some drama to the matchup; will Pettis see his Ultimate Fighting Championship record hit .500 tonight, or will the former Wheaties Box star make a mini-career comeback in spectacular fashion?
For a hot minute, both these guys were highly touted prospects, and to be fair, they both still have a lot of potential. Felder's stock, though, took a hit when he dropped back-to-back fights against Edson Barboza (understandable) and a way past his prime Ross Pearson (not understandable in a million billion years), but he has won three fights in a row, all of which were elbow-intensive finishes. In the other corner, we're working with Mike "Platinum" Perry, who after a hot start with knockouts over Hyun Gyu Lim and Danny Roberts, has dropped two decision losses in a row, with his last taking place in February against Max Griffin. Needless to say, both men would very much like to take home the W here … although from the looks of it, Perry might just be fighting for his professional livelihood here.
An errant headbutt has both men bleeding like stuck pigs just seconds into the fight. We've got a clinch against the cage and Perry lands a right elbow. We have separation and Perry kicks Felder's leg. Then Felder connects on a big overhand. Perry misses on a looping overhand and Felder ROCKS Perry's ass with a hard elbow shot. Felder with a knee to the stomach and a hard jab. Felder connects on a front kick to the stomach. Felder whiffs on a high kick. Perry lands a couple of jabs and here comes Felder right back with the patella sandwiches. It's pretty much dead even on strikes landed at this point. Perry grazes Felder with an elbow in the clinch. Felder lands a spinning back kick. Perry hits a jab to the stomach and Felder lands a spinning back fist at the very tail end of the round.
Round two. Felder looking for high kicks early. Perry lands a combo and tries to crush Felder against the cage. He lands a big takedown. Felder is right back to his feet. Joe keeps saying he thinks Felder has a broken hand. Perry spamming the right now. Felder lands another spinning kick to the torso. Felder connects on a jab, but Perry just eats it. Felder with a leg kick … and boy howdy, my Internet just went down. How fuckin' dandy.
The Wi-Fi comes back in with a minute left in the third. Felder looks like a morbidly obese woman just had a period on his face. Fuck, Felder looks WAY too much like The Irate Gamer for it to be a coincidence. Anyway, Perry throws a whole bunch of attempted haymakers and the crowd cheers like crazy once the bell sounds. Oh goddamn, they just replayed the huge left from Perry that made Felder's face explode. That shit is grisly right there.
Alright, let's go to the judges, why don't we? It's 29-28 Perry, 29-28 Felder and … 29-28 Perry.
This is Perry's first-ever decision victory. Rogan praises Perry for his "controlled aggression" and Perry comments on how big Felder is for a welterweight. Well, that was a pretty boring post-fight interview.
That one dude from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Matt Serra and Demetrious Johnson are all in the house. And are they REALLY putting Mighty Mouse on the cover of the next UFC video game? Shit … the UFC truly is starved for star power, ain't they?
Anyway, the UFC is letting a dude with one arm try out for The Ultimate Fighter. If it were up to me, they'd make him fight against a dude with one leg and make that shit Crippled Masters come to life.
To quote Quinton Jackson: "it's time for some more black-on-black crime!" Of course, Ngannou might just be the most feared striker on the planet right now, but as apparent by his lackluster showing against Stipe Miocic back in January, his cardio remains a huge problem. Lewis, on the other hand, is a long-time divisional stalwart who's fresh off an impressive knockout win against Marcin Tybura in February, but around here we primarily know him as the guy who tells female coworkers to wash their buttholes before tossing salads and referring to his opponents as known domestic abusers to their face in his post-fight interviews. So, all that to say? This one probably won't last too long, folks, but it's sure as hell bound to be entertaining.
Lewis comes out wearing a white track suit, accompanied by the aural strings of some kind of hippity-hoppity music, as the kids today call it. And holy shit, Ngannou comes out to Despacito. Did I accidentally fall into a time warp vortex to July 2017 or something?
Lewis comes into this fight about 10 pounds heavier than Ngannou. Ngannou's switching stances early. Lewis whiffs on a fat high kick. The fans are already booing the inaction. Lewis lands a kick to the stomach and they have a very brief fist exchange. Both men taking it slow and keeping their distance. Lewis with a switch kick up high. Lewis lands another high kick. Ngannou hasn't thrown ANYTHING yet. Lewis lands a leg kick and Ngannou blocks the overhand shot. Lewis with another big, fat switch kick up high. He lands one more high kick and the fans BOO THE SHIT OUT OF EVERYTHING as the first round comes to an end.
Round two. You know, I've already said this before, but Lewis sure is fat. So far, these two men have combined for only SEVEN landed strikes. LOL at the fans doing the Bray Wyatt thing with their cell phones to sure their displeasure with this shit. Lewis misses on a huge haymaker by about three zip codes. Now the fans are chanting "Fight! Fight!" like restless elementary schoolers. Oh man, we are *this* close to the fans showering the cage with garbage like an old WCW Nitro broadcast or something. Lewis with a shitty leg kick. Ref Herb Dean stops the fight and tells both men to stop acting like pussies and fuckin' do something. Lewis lands another high kick and a quick jab. Ngannou throws a few pussy punches, and the bell sounds. Rogan says this might just be the most boring heavyweight fight in history. Hell, he might be right, depending on how the next five minutes go.
Round three. Holy shit, it's like Ngannou's afraid to fight anymore. Lewis with more crappy leg kicks. A minute into the third round, we have a combined 15 landed strikes. Three minutes left. This is reaching all-time bad levels now. Ngannou connects on a kick to the ribs. Lewis working the low kicks and a molasses slow flurry of punches. Jon Anik tells the fans to go watch these two men's old fights to prove they don't suck. One minute left. "It feels like this should be a double loss," Rogan comments. Ngannou lands a hard left with thirty seconds left. Lewis with some knees in the clinch. Ngannou goes for a takedown and he lands a punch to Lewis' skull after the bell. Oh my god, this was astonishingly terrible in every possible way.
Let's hear from the judges, why don't we? It's 29-28, 29-28 and 30-27 for Derrick Lewis. LOL, that fight was so shitty nobody gets a post-fight interview.
Holy shit, BROCK LESNAR is making his way cageside! And he asks Joe if he can be on his podcast. Huh. That … was kinda' anticlimactic.
|That fight put somebody to sleep, alright … the paying audience.
And this is it, kids — the big enchilada. Considering the historic magnitude of the bout (remember, there's never been a Heavyweight Champ vs. Light Heavyweight Champ bout in the UFC before), you'd think there'd be a little bit more publicity heading into the matchup, but aye, that's what happens when drug testing means you've got to work with some Croatian firefighter and the black version of Fedor instead of Brock Lesnar and Jon Jones. Still, this ought to be one hell of a fight, no matter the circumstances. Considering the ring IQ of both veteran fighters, it's hard to imagine this one devolving into a slug fest, but then again, this is for all the marbles and status as the consensus greatest 220-pound plus fighter in history. For all intents and purposes, this is about as big a matchup as the MMA world is able to allot us for the foreseeable future … better soak it up and enjoy it for all its worth, folks. And hey, if we're really lucky? We might even get to see Daniel Cormier trip over something again … mayhap before he even gets inside the Octagon this evening.
Hoo boy, these two have a tough act to follow, don't they? Cormier comes out first, and although I don't know what his theme music is, it's pretty fucking awesome and I should probably Shazam it at some point. LOL at Joe Rogan saying Alexander Volkov is the third best heavyweight on the planet right now. And, of course, Miocic comes out to Machine Gun Kelly, chewing gum and looking all relaxed and shit.
Miocic gets a pretty big reaction from the crowd. It's by no means GSP or Conor McGregor level or anything, but it's certainly more voluble than you'd expect. Oh, and Machine Gun Kelly is in the crowd tonight — get a good look at him before he inevitably dies of a molly overdose a year or so from now.
Micoic has a considerable reach and height advantage, but Cormier is the heavier competitor. The ref is a Limey so you just know he's going to try to screw over the Croatian. Miocic chases D.C. down and he lands some big shots. Both men land uppercuts and Miocic has underhooks in. Miocic crushing D.C. up against the cage, American History X shower scene style. D.C. lands some rabbit punches in the clinch. D.C. with a stiff right jab. Miocic with a hard knee to the body and some elbow shots. D.C. lands a HARD leg kick. And another one. Miocic with a great elbow. They exchange combos and we get a timeout after D.C. thumbs Miocic in the eyes. Looks like he learned something from Jon Jones after all. We get another wild exchange … AND D.C. UNCORKS A FLURRY ON MICOIC AND WINS BY TKO!
It was a hard right in the clinch that got her done. D.C. landed about half a dozen unanswered shots on the ground before the ref waved it off. The fans chant "D.C." before the official decision is announced. The official time was 4:33 of the very first round.
Cormier calls out Brock Lesnar and he comes in and he's literally a foot and a half taller than the Heavyweight Champion. Brock shoves him halfway across the cage, grabs the mic, calls Ngannou and Miocic "a piece of shit" and calls Cormier a "motherfucker." Then D.C. tells Brock to leave the Octagon so he can take a couple of photos. Holy shit, this felt carny as fuck, but I still loved it.
Anyhoo, I'll be back first thing in the morning with some more cogent thoughts on the show. In the meantime … ya'll get some sleep, why don't you?
SO, WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? Obviously, Daniel Cormier vs. Brock Lesnar will be an all-go sometime before the year's over, and even if it is a made-for-PPV spectacle, it nonetheless ought to be an entertaining one — I mean, the height discrepancy alone makes it a more intriguing matchup than just about any other Heavyweight bout they could book at the moment. Speaking of Heavyweights, I suppose Stipe Miocic vs. Derrick Lewis is the de facto Number One Contender's bout to make next, although Lewis probably doesn't deserve it after tonight's less than inspiring performance. Along those same lines, I'd really like to see Francis Ngannou tangle with Alexander Volkov next, but if he's as hesitant to throw blows as badly as he was in the fight against Lewis, methinks it's time to send this motherfucker to Bellator.
THE VERDICT? This was an alright show, but one that was a couple of steps below the quality of the last couple of Fourth of July PPVs. The main event, although shorter than expected, was definitely exciting, and the undercard — particularly the Felder/Perry shindig and the Chiesa/Pettis barnburner — I'd consider fairly above-average for a 2018 MMA show. That said, the co-main event was so terrible, it pretty much poisoned everything about this show … indeed, it's hard to imagine anyone remembering this show a good three or four years down the road for anything other than the presumptive front runner for worst fight of '18.
SHOW HIGHLIGHT: Perry/Felder was a solid welterweight brawl, and there's no denying Miocic/Cormier was entertaining as fuck while it lasted.
SHOW LOWLIGHT: Ngannou/Lewis wasn't just bad … it was Kimbo/Dada bad, ya'll.
ROGAN-ISM OF THE NIGHT: "He doesn't need a trainer. He needs a sports psychologist." — Joe on Francis Ngannou surprisingly timid performance
– If you ever need to tap a vein, you don't need a needle; a well-timed elbow right to the noggin ought to do the trick.
– If you're the hardest puncher in human history, it's probably a good idea to, you know, try to punch people in a fight.
– If you're fighting a dude who's almost a foot shorter than you, you might want to watch for some inside uppercuts in the clinch.
-Workplace violence is totally unacceptable … unless you're in the UFC, at which point physically assaulting another employee on live television means you get a PPV main event.
– At this point, no matter how much you suck, if you weigh between 220-265 pounds, you could probably qualify for a top ten Heavyweight in the UFC these days.
Well, that's all I've got for you this week. Crank up "Mind of a Lunatic" by the Geto Boys and "Got My Mind Made Up" by Tupac and I'll be seeing you cageside in just a few.

I really love this recipe and it's a great way to use up any leftover and stale bread. I grew up on this and it's one of the first desserts I learned how to make myself. It's really easy, very delicious and it keeps very well too, so you can enjoy it all week! You can vary the fruit to your liking as well.
Preheat the oven to 180 C. Put 200 g sugar and 1/2 l milk in a bowl and heat for 3 min in the microwave. Meanwhile, tear up 300 g stale bread in another bowl (you can use white bread, brown bread, or a mix of whatever you have lying around – as you will soak it, it cannot be too fresh). Give the milk a stir to dissolve most of the sugar and pour it over the bread. Leave to soak for a few minutes while you cut 1 apple into small pieces. I usually add some dried prunes as well. If you have a pear, it works too and you can add candied peel if you prefer. Mush the bread mix with a fork until you get a thick consistency (you don't have to be very precise). Add the diced fruit along with 50 g raisins, a pinch of cinnamon, a splash of rum and a bag of vanilla sugar (10 g – you could add the seeds of a vanilla pod or 1 tsp vanilla extract instead as well). Mix 5 eggs and pour into the bread mix as well. Give everything a good stir and pour in a 20 cm round spring form lined with baking paper. Put in the oven for 45 min or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
You can eat this hot, with some vanilla ice, or cold (with or without custard). It's very moist so it will easily keep for a week. Enjoy while listening to We Are Family by Sister Sledge.
Tip: make it gluten-free by replacing the bread by gluten-free bread.
Use up leftover raisins in rum-raisin cookies, carrot cake or an apricot and marzipan twist.
