Discussion in 'Mac Basics and Help' started by Mushrooshi, Oct 10, 2007.
Im a mac newbie, and I need comebacks because the windows users keep saying "Mac sucks"
-say Windows photocopies Macs
-MAC Stands for Bad ass
My advice would be to just ignore them. Who cares what they think!
"So does your mom!"
"You suck!"
"I'm telling!"
"Your face sucks!"
"Windows sucks!"
"Eh. Me no speak english."
Seriously though. Who cares what Windows fanboys say? Just ignore them.
Some things you might do:
- Run Windows via Parallels or BootCamp. Emphasize your computer can run Mac and Windows. Best of both worlds.
- Use the Terminal Window. Show how you can run Unix. Then remind them how with one computer you can run Mac, Unix and Windows -- natively. Of course with Parallels you can run many virtual operating systems.
- Show them iLife and how it is easy to use. Create a quick movie and then burn a DVD using iDVD. BTW, got a switcher that way since it was so easy.
- Run Microsoft Office for the Mac. Totally compatible.
- Run some games under Bootcamp.
- The key is to show how nice the Mac is. This last weekend, I hooked a PC IT type with showing how easy it was to back up and restore a bootcamp PC or a Parallels PC. Their mouth hit the floor with my demo.
- Lastly, get a thick skin as many Windows users will try and bash the Mac. It comes with the territory. And as you become more familiar with the Mac OS and it's features, you will be able to demonstrate more benefits with using a Mac.
- And the last but not least. Become a PC expert. Nothing like someone who uses a Mac to fix your PC problems. This is the equivalent to rubbing salt into their wounds and is really gratifying.
i got all my friends to switch over just by stating the facts.
you can always use:
vista, the OS X copy, uses roughly 700MB RAM at the desktop doing nothing.
finder uses <200MB on my iBook.
seriously, the facts, even though there are cons, still beat windows almost everytime.
the firewall in a Mac is second to NONE
Three Microsoft engineers and three Apple employees are traveling by train to a computer conference. At the station, the three Microsoft engineers each buy tickets and watch as the three Apple employees buy only a single ticket.
"How are three people going to travel on only one ticket?" asks a Microsoft engineer.
"Watch and you'll see," answers the Apple employee.
They all board the train. The Microsoft engineers take their respective seats, but all three Apple employees cram into a restroom and close the door behind them. Shortly after the train has departed, the conductor comes around collecting tickets. He knocks on the restroom door and says, "Ticket, please."
The door opens just a crack and a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand. The conductor takes the ticket and moves on.
The Microsoft engineers saw this and agreed it was quite a clever idea. So after the conference, the Microsoft engineers decide to do the same on the return trip and save some money.
When they get to the station, they buy a single ticket for the return trip. To their astonishment, the Apple employees don't buy any ticket, at all.
"How are you going to travel without a ticket?" asks one perplexed Microsoft engineer.
"Watch and you'll see," answers an Apple employee.
When they board the train the three Microsoft engineers cram into a restroom and the three Apple employees cram into another one nearby. The train departs.
Shortly afterward, one of the Apple employees leaves his restroom and walks over to the restroom where the Microsoft engineers are hiding. He knocks on the door and says, "Ticket, please..."
A couple of nights ago, I was up in front of a class and my PB15 had a kernal panic.
I notice that it does this when I am running Classic and then connect an external monitor. For some reason the different display resolutions between Mac OS X (mirrored with external) and Mac OS 9 (Classic) messes it up. Usually I quit Classic and then Force Quit the Finder and then all works fine. In this case, I had forgotten to stop Classic.
So I had my grey screen of death. They all laughed a bit. I said that it happens. Then I quickly explained why. But what got them, is how easy it was to restart. Just press the start button. And boom, up and running again. No issues with starting in Safe Mode or needing to fix the HD. Just restart and move on.
This is awesome. I love it.
Here is the only one you should need:
"So how's that Vista treating you?"
I switched after 15+ years with Windows. When one of my Windows friends makes a comment, I just smile.
A comedian once said at a Comedy Works here that he had a comeback for every single heckle you could throw at him.
To any heckle, he'd just reply " F**** YOU!!"
The ultimate, classic comeback!!!
From Scrubs:
"Your face!!"
"Dammit, I should have seen that coming!"
"Up your nose with a rubber hose..."
How about reverse psychology:
Don't look up or react much to their words, but say "Yeah, they do." And keep right on typing. React that way every time, it'll start to piss them off - especially the ones that try more than once.
go with "The jerk store called, and they're running out of you!"
"Thats not what your mom said"
"Your sister didn't seem to think so"
"Mac sucks"
"Does it? Excellent, not only do I get a great computer, but I get 'favours' as well"
XD I love the jokes.
I do have a problem witht he iLife comeback...
Saying that mac is easy to use...
I tried that and th eiLife one, and they said "Mac treats you either like a 90 year old grandpa, or a retard with a helmet."
They are my friends, but fierce windows fanboys.
Nice solution!
They do all the work and you get to have all the fun.
Thats usually what I do. I just say "Yeah, you're right" in a fairly serious tone, throw in a smile right after, and don't say another word.
I used to try and worry about comebacks and what to say and all that, but truth be told, they're the ones suffering. If they think Macs suck, let them. They'll figure it out on their own eventually.
lol i am going to save ever single post in this thread, simply because i am gonna use them so much when i eventually go to uni an bust out me mbp.
i have my thick shell developed already tho. i will be hunting for potential switchers!!!
i get it all the time at uni...there are a few windows fanboys who don't like apple at all
it's just like barracking for a football team...you'll never convince them otherwise
but i personally look at a mac as a lifestle decision...it's so much more carefree than windows...i don't spend half my time fighting the operating system
but there's always the logical solution
"HAHA! You have a mac. Macs suck."
"Well it's my money, I'll do what I want with it."
"You wasted your money."
"I don't think so, and that's all that matters."
I got this guy the other day who spent 10 minutes bashing the iPhone because someone told him that I had an iPod touch.
Best to just ignore the windows fanboys...they're just jealous that you can use another operating system effectively
If they're idiotic enough to pick on someone over their choice of laptop, they don't deserve to be in uni at all. I've studied at three different uni's and never seen this sort of thing. Generally people have other things on their minds or are more interested in making friends and going to clubs
I work as technical officer for a company, we are 100% mac here because of me. Recently one staff said she wanted to buy a PC laptop for personal use.
Fine, I said, I recommend a Thinkpad or if you want a subnotebook, one of the nice Sonys or Panasonics. (I'm not gonna go dissing someone's choice of computer - it's not professional.)
I've told my family and friends that I only give technical support for macs. If they buy a PC, and get a problem with it, hmm I seem to have strangely forgotten how to fix them
Most of my family now have macs. But my partner's sister was choosing with me what laptop to buy for home and work, and in the end, we decided on a PC laptop because I don't see her that often, and the technical guys at her company use PCs - they can fix her issues. None of them use macs, and she's not the type to be the first mac user at her workplace.
Get the right tool for the right situation.
In the end, if someone just has that to say, then you really don't need to say anything in return. Just move past it and talk about something else. There are always going to be people who are simply too stubborn to consider other things, and that's fine for them. There are going to be lots of other people who are more interested and will ask you why you chose to buy a Mac, and you can present your reasons to them. In the end, it all comes down to what type of person you're dealing with.

Lots of this, please: Healthy, delicious, super good, superfood — kale. What was once a "fringe green" has found itself a coveted position in every health enthusiast's kitchen.
The farmer says: Much like many other greens, kale does particularly well in the cooler months. This is just one reason why Anne Cure, owner and farm manager of Cure Organic Farm, particularly loves working with this crop. All of the kale at Cure is grown outside versus in a greenhouse — which makes its affinity for the cool soil even more beneficial. Another advantage of cooler soil? Kale actually tastes sweeter during the slightly chilly months — so for those who have yet to fall under the kale-spell, now is the time.
This tasty vegetable is considered a superfood for a reason — it's packed with protein, fiber, omega-3 fatty acid and so much more. It also helps with brain development. Kale is certainly a triple threat — good for the body, good for the mind and especially good for the (farmers') soul.
Feed your sweet-tooth and stop by the Cure Organic Farm stand and get some of the season's first bundled kale — Cure offers two varieties: Red Russian and Siberian; both are sure to sell out quickly.
How to prepare: Kale is delicious when sautéed, cooked in a soup, tossed in a super healthy smoothie or massaged well and enjoyed in a salad. The possibilities are endless.
How to store it: Kale should be stored in a plastic bag in the refrigerator and will typically last about a week.
Kale and Sorell Salad
4 tablespoons currents
1/4 cup sherry or Madeira
4 tablespoons toasted pine nuts
1 large bunch kale, leafs removed from stems
6 large fresh sorrel leaves
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil (splurge on the best you can afford)
4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 shallot bulb, finely minced
1/4 cup Parmigiana Reggiano, shaved using potato peeler
To taste sea salt and fresh ground black pepper
Directions: Marinate currents in the Sherry and Madeira as long ahead of time as possible, at least a half hour.
Take kale leaves and gently press them together and massage them with hands for two minutes (yes, this is the secret sauce to making kale's texture palatable). Cut across the leaf into a fine, "feathery" (called chiffonade) cut, like thin ribbons.
Stack sorrel leaves atop each other; roll into a cigar like form; cut 1/4-inch thick across the sorrel "cigar."
To toast pine nuts, heat a small cast iron pan over medium heat, and toast nuts directly in pan (no extra oil needed) until well browned, frequently stirring — about 2-3 minutes. Reserve one tablespoon of pine nuts aside for garnish.
In a small bowl whisk or in a Mason jar shake the extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice with minced shallots together to emulsify; add salt and pepper to taste.
In a large bowl toss the marinated currents, pine nuts, the chopped kale and sorrel, and Parmigiana shavings with extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice and shallot vinaigrette.
Top with extra pine nuts and serve.
Note: This is terrific with BBQ or grilled Greek-style chicken, pork chop or marinated tofu cutlet.
Serves 4-6.

Hi, I'm new to the list. And fairly new to Gimp. I wish to create a text logo and don't know how to get if formatted like I want. The text is 2 words using the Bremen Bd true type font style. What I'm trying to do is have the top of the text square blocked and the bottom curved. The logo would look like it's sitting on a half moon cresent. Does this make sense? Can anyone show me how to accomplish this in Gimp.
Many thanks in advance. Sincerely, Kenny

These idiots have no place to go so they hang around and spew nonsense but can never change anything. They've existed forever, and with all their hate and violence, they can never stomp out non-whites. Their daily lives must be sad and miserable. I'd be upset if there was someone or something that bothered me but there was absolutely nothing I could do to change it.
The bigot Ted Nugent went nuts on right wing christian conservative radio show, Joe Pags, stating that anyone who doesn't like him must hate America and everything the country stands for. I tried to find some small sense in his rhetoric but it just seemed like an idiot who just escaped a cave. A neanderthal.
"There's nothing more anti-American than the freaks that hate me, like Bernie Mao Zedong Sanders. As the freaks hate me, I go, Man, I really am right all the time"
"Like, take black people, for example, You've got these people, right, and they're always on about oppression and racial inequality. And they're flat out lying. Because I've never seen a race of people that has so much in common with white folks, and at the same time, hates their guts. You can't tell me that's good for this country."
"African Americans in this country have an urge to blend in with white people. There's poor white people and also poor black people. There's rich white people, and then there's also rich black people. We've had white presidents for two hundred years, now we've even got a half-white president, whose other half is black. And we had to do it that way because a full-on, completely black president would have been too much. Doing it step by step, in parts, was much safer. If that's not equality, I don't know what is."
"And you or anybody else can hate me all you want for saying it out loud. The truth is, I don't care what anybody thinks, and also, have you noticed how some of the most hated people today are the ones who are telling the truth straight up and without hesitation? Take Donald Trump, for example. The man has been calling out a ton of chicken-shits and cowards since he started running for president, and Obama's one of them. I mean, just like Hillary Clinton and the rest of the Democrats, but that's not the point right now. And the people recognize that, that's why they trust him."
"And Obama is also on Trump's assassination list. Because not only is he half-black, which proves my aforementioned point, but he's also Muslim. And I don't care what he says he is, the fact is he's not fooling anyone. So, therefore, I don't hate black people. At all. They are people too, just like us. And I recognize that. They just have this weird, permanent skin disease which somehow affects their behavior. And they lie. Like, really a lot. And that's the part that bothers me. To be quite honest, I kind of even feel sorry for them a little bit"

The vital thread of social continuity from the Civil Rights era to the present is a lifeline linking researchers, analysts and organizers worldwide. That thread, embodied by Human Rights leaders, includes scholars and colleagues of the Center for World Indigenous Studies (CWIS) whom were directly involved in struggles from North America to South Africa. As First Nations around the globe implement laws consistent with the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, this Human Rights network is called upon to take care of this unfinished business.
Tag: Human Rights
Double Standards
When it comes to the home countries of some Nobel Peace Prize Laureates, i.e. Elie Wiesel, Aung San Suu Kyi and Barack Obama, there is a giant blind spot toward their own human rights violations. Whether based on religious, ethnic or political bigotry, this conscious disavowal betrays their stature.
Givers and Takers
My piece de resistance — Netwar at Cherry Point — turns one on April 1st.
This case study about the dark side of white power on the Salish Sea focuses on fossil fuel export versus indigenous peoples, or perhaps better stated — Wall Street versus human rights.
For some, the beloved San Juan Islands beckon as paradise in a world of total chaos. For Warren Buffett, BP and other major energy investors, they are collateral damage in the pursuit of oil portfolio profits.
Taking the Offensive
In his op-ed End the Struggle, Dr. Rudolph C. Ryser says indigenous nations have one final chance to go on the offensive against state kleptocracy, or "the struggle" is over.
Apartheid Approval
The U.S. Senate vote to suppress campus criticism of Israel passed unanimously on December 1. Responding to pro-Zionist organizations like AIPAC and ADL, the Senate attack on free speech seeks to use the Department of Education and Department of Justice to punish proponents of equal civil rights for Palestinians in Israel, and those advocating for a human rights boycott against the Israeli Apartheid State.
Jurisdictional Dispute
The Standing Rock Sioux tribe cleaned up at the UN in Geneva, gaining the support of the High Commissioner for Human Rights and the Special Rapporteur on the right to peaceful assembly under international law. Meanwhile, state police and national guard continue to use "rubber bullets, teargas, mace, compression grenades and bean-bag rounds."
Inherently Human
In 1975, the Tse-shaht tribe (part of the Nuu-chah-nulth first nation and the Wakashan language group on Vancouver Island) hosted the inaugural meeting of the World Council of Indigenous Peoples. That conference led to the establishment of the Center for World Indigenous Studies in Olympia, Washington in 1979, and to the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples in 2007. As the 'catalyst for the contemporary global indigenous rights movement', the 1975 gathering–led by Chief George Manuel (founder of the Center for World Indigenous Studies)–was a historic event in the reemergence of indigenous governance, and in the development of the international regime first established by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the UN in 1948.

Electrolux French Door Refrigerator
French door refrigerators are getting more and more famous with each passing day. This is because of their style and efficiency. These units are available in several elegant designs and are simply amazing in functionality as well as looks. There are usually three doors in a French door model. The two narrow doors have been designed to provide convenience to the user. The freezer is located at the bottom of the device. This makes the French door model quite a unique product. The usual design presents the freezer on top, at eye level.
The French door design was first formulated for fulfilling the needs of those people who had very limited space available in their kitchens. There are many brands that are producing and marketing French door models for their customers.
Electrolux is a multinational manufacturer of appliances which has its headquarter in the Swedish capital Stockholm. It is regarded as the second largest manufacturer of appliances in the whole world. The company sells its products under several brand names including its own. The company also produces commercial appliances.
Kitchen Decor
Electrolux French Door refrigerator is a durable product which is suitable for any house. Since a unit which is placed in a kitchen is being constantly used by the members of the family, it means that appliance should be strong enough to sustain the constant opening and closing of its doors. The unit produced by Electrolux is a tough device that can easily tolerate the everyday busy schedule of a family. The model is, infact, designed with the same purpose in mind. All the parts and components used in the model are of the highest quality and can easily withstand the vigor of daily repeated use.
Kitchen Appliance
The unit is very stylish, sleek and fashionable which makes enables it to blend perfectly with the existing décor of any kitchen. The appliance adapts with a new look and looks perfectly in place almost anywhere. They are so stylish that they simply add to the beauty of a house as well as the areas where they are kept. People take notice of this appliance and soon they can become the focal point of any kitchen. They are available in many designs and the customer may choose the best one that serves his needs and compliments his kitchen.
Another plus point of this unit is its efficiency. With the inflation set firmly in the economy and the constant rise in the price of electricity, the one thing any consumer cannot afford to ignore while shopping for an appliance is its energy efficiency. These units are not only energy efficient, their functionality remains excellent despite consuming less energy. The energy efficiency factor translates into a decreased electricity bill each month which, accumulated over a year, allows you to save a reasonable amount of money. The size of the unit does not, in any way, make it a big energy consumer.
Display of Electrolux French Door Refrigerator
The next point is display. The unit offers catchy display which is not only perfect but also very attractive for the eye. It spread out in a nice manner which makes it easier to locate items that are frequently taken out like sodas and milk bottles. There are some models that also include water dispensers and ice maker for the enhanced convenience of the users.

A wave of killings targeting secular bloggers in Bangladesh is a long way from real-estate agent Farid Ahmed's suburban Toronto neighbourhood. But the murders could not feel closer.
From his home, Mr. Ahmed is steering the Bengali- and English-language blog Mukto Mona – which translates as "free thinking" – through a difficult chapter as its writers are struck down.

6TBS. honey (i actually use a little more than this. Use as you think.)
5TBS. fresh lime juice
1 TBS. chili powder (less if you don't want it spicy)
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
4 boneless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
8- 10 flour torillas
shredded Monterey Jack cheese
2- 16oz green enchilada sauce
1 cup of heavy cream
Mix the first four ingredients and toss with cooked chicken. Let it marinate for at least 1/2 hour. The longer the better. Pour green enchilada sauce to cover the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Fill tortillas with chicken and shredded cheese. Mix the remaining enchilada sause with the cream and leftover marinade. Pour sauce on top of the enchiladas and sprinkle with the cheese. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes until brown and crispy. Serve with sour cream.
(I have used this recipe at large events as well. It is always a hit and my kids even eat it. I let them help fill the enchiladas and cook with me. For some reason, they will eat if they help cook.) (recipe from Peacocks on my Porch)

Jessica Philippus Interview
Jessica Phlippus went undefeated in 2010. Jessica won the voting for amateur fighter of the year on this blog. Jessica has done amazing things. Yet some may have seen her as "just a wrestler". In her recent fight with Sarah Goodlaxson, just as Sarah proved she is more than just a striker, Jessica proved she is more than just a wrestler. She stood in there and banged and held her own with a really good striker. Then in round two she got a D'arce choke and won. As I said in Sarah's interview about this fight, these two women are a credit to the sport. Leading up to the fight and afterwards, both showed tremendous class. This was not a fight with a winner and a loser. Both are winners because both proved something, and anyone who has watched the fight is a winner for seeing it, and we who love women's MMA are winners because we have two women like Sarah and Jessica in the sport.
Q: First, Jessica I want to thank you for taking the time to do another interview and also congrats on winning amateur fighter of the year on my blog.
A: Thank you for giving me yet another opportunity to do an interview! And SUPER BIG THANKS for putting those awards together!!
Q: For those who missed your first interview can you start out by telling a little about yourself.
A: I am a 27 yr old mother, wife, and MMA fighter among a few other things! I work full time, train, cook, clean, lift, run, you name it. Its all in a days work at the Philippus household! I wrestled in high school and college and decided to give MMA a try. Thank goodness I did, because this is the BEST sport in the world! I am now 6-1, with an undefeated year in 2010 and am the proud owner of 2 shiny belts.
Q: Congrats on the fight with Sarah Goodlaxson. A real quality win.
A: Thank you. It was definitely a huge win for me. Sarah was my "goal" fight a while back. I remember being somewhat star struck when I saw her at Gfight in March when I fought Kristin because I had watched her videos so much and seen her name pop up so much all over the Internet. I didn't know much about the WMMA scene but I definitely knew her name! Sooooo yes this was a real, truly quality win for me and proved to me how far I've come since March. Even getting to the point of having a date set for my Sarah fight was a big deal to me.
Q: I know you two have been tying to set that fight up for awhile. Any reason?
A: She asked me about fighting her back in March. Well a promoter did, my answer was a swift, "Hell NO! Not yet." Not because I was scared, but because I didn't even have any training at that point. I was solely lifting and running. I sorta took that Gfight match up on a whim to see where I was and to see if MMA was even something I was interested in anymore. Of course March 20th, 2010 lit a fire in my heart. I knew Sarah was training her ass off and getting ready to fight in Vegas and I felt VERY far away from fighting someone of that caliber. So I set off to the gym and started training again. I felt ready to take a fight in May. It was my first (and only) local fight. In July Sarah and I conversed about fighting in October. She had a lot changing in her life so I think that's why that one didn't happen. Then we were actually going to both be in the Griffin's Den 105 tourney together, so finally we would match up! The 1 day tourney format fell through, and I was questioning wanted to be part of a spread out one and got replaced. Then Gfight was gonna do one and we would match up there, then that got scratched. Sarah was unexpectedly diagnosed with Bells Palsy so the Illinois promoter called and asked me to fill Sarah's spot. That I did! But that didn't solve us matching up at some point. We were then trying to find a promotion who would make us co-main and let us fight for a belt because we knew this was gonna be well worth both! We were going to fight in Quincy on Jan 22, but thanks to our stupid and unforgiving work schedule that ended up not working out just weeks before. A few phone calls later and we got on the Blue Corner card. Ben was nice enough to move some stuff around and make us co-main event and have their first ever women's belt!!! Finally!
Q: What did you know about Sarah as far as her style and what her strengths are
A: I knew she was the toughest chick at 105lbs. I don't care about rankings and records, that's my opinion! I knew her stand up was legit and that she had been quickly improving her ground game. I know aside from a tough stand up game, the amount of heart she had displayed in prior fights would be my biggest obstacle. It meant this fight could easily go all 3 rounds because this is not a girl who gives up.
Q: Did she fight as you expected?
A: Hahaha. YES! I knew she was gonna come out the gate like a bull on fire! And that she did! I knew little fists and feet were gonna be flying. So that was my plan too. Obviously from the video you can see we both stuck to our plans and fired right off the bell!
Q: Did you have a game plan for the fight and were you able to follow it?
A: Of course I had a game plan! You don't go into a fight like that without a solid game plan. Somewhat, I was busy defending Sarah's game plan for a lot of round 1. But during the break Deryck and Robb said get back to YOUR game plan, fight YOUR fight Jess. So I took a big breath, re-focused and did what I had practiced a million times. I told myself I was starting fresh in round 2. I fought MY fight.
Q: She had a good first round, but in round two you got the choke. Anything you saw in that first round that made you think you could get that in the second round?
A: She had an amazing first round! No I don't think there was any flaw I saw that I said, "oh theres my chance" it was more of me just being determined to fight MY fight and stick to MY game plan. We went over that choke when we were warming up and I said, "that is genius Ripley! I'm using that! THAT is what I am winning this fight with!" He said, "do it! I think it is a completely viable option. Just commit." I have to credit Deryck Ripley with that one, it was ALL him! Hes a genius! Definitely lucky to have that guy in my corner :-)
Q: What did you think of Sarah overall as a fighter?
A: The same thing I have always thought! That is one tough chick!! Oh except now I just know how hard she hits! LOL
Q: What did you learn about yourself from this fight?
A: I learned that even if you have a rough start it doesn't mean you cant dig deep and regroup. When I was walking to my corner I remember thinking, if I was weak I would let this get me down, but I am not. I am going to turn this around. Fortunately I have 2 corner men who know me well and believe in me and knew just what to say to me. When the going gets tough, the tough get going!!!
Q: Sarah is obviously a skilled fighter, so it was a great win. Where would you rank this fight in your list of favorites?
A: Numero UNO!!!!!!!!
Q: Sarah has been really classy and polite in defeat. Not all fighters are. How much do you appreciate that?
A: Very appreciative! We have had our moments, so it feels wonderful to have that ALL behind us! We had a little chat during our long embrace. I have nothing but respect for that girl! Afterwards her and Mitch sat with my team and friends at the sports bar and we all hung out like we had been friends forever! All MMA fighters seem to be extended family. Our guys laughed over beer and stories of putting up with us while cutting weight.
Q: What did you think of the promoters of the show?
A: Ben Nogueras is an amazing guy and a huge asset to MMA in KC and Women's MMA across the country. I cant say enough good things about him! He doesn't normally fly fighters in, but we got creative and made it happen for Sarah! When I asked if he could fit us on this card he jumped at the chance, he made room for us to be the Co-Main/Title event just weeks out. Not many promoters will do something like that, let alone for females! It was actually the first women's title fight that KC has ever seen, we wrote a little piece of history that night. Jerry Chavez created a masterpiece with our "co-main event" poster! That thing was AWESOME!! We couldn't have asked for more hospitality and support from everyone at Blue Corner Promotions! That is a really classy show in a super nice venue, everything is handled very professionally, you would never know it was an ammy event! Loved everything about it!
Q: How long after a fight do you like to take off before getting back into training hard?
A: If I have any boo boos, I let those heal. But a day off from the gym and a few days off practice. Then back at it!
Q: How important is support from family and friends when getting ready to fight?
A: Oh geez, its HUGE! Especially this last one. I came down with the flu something fierce last Sunday. I was sincerely scared I would be able to fight. Robb didn't ever think that once! Thank goodness he had faith because I was really doubting I was going to be able to pull it off, but him and Robby nursed me back to health!
But just preparing for a fight is taxing in itself so having a good support system at home is key. I was also lucky to have an awesome friend and coach in Deryck Ripley. He would meet me anytime, anywhere I asked to work on stuff.
Q: I often ask what is the biggest misconception people have about female fighters. This time I will ask, what is the biggest misconception people have about Jessica Philippus?
A: That I am one dimensional. I have worked hard to break that stereotype. Don't get me wrong, I will always be a wrestler girl deep down, but I have had a lot of awesome people help me with my stand up.
Q: Finish this sentence. In five years Jessica Philippus will be__ ?
A: Fighting pro, have a successful company, and hopefully doing well enough that I don't have to work nights anymore! Oooh and hopefully living in a bigger city.
Q: Anybody you want to thank for helping you get ready for the fight and supporting you?
A: Obviously Robb, first and foremost for putting up with me while preparing for this. Second, Deryck Ripley for truly believing in me and sharing his wisdom with me. All my homies at First Blood who punch me in the face and kick me in the head on a regular basis, and who most certainly treat me with respect and as an equal. Ben Nogueras for letting me borrow his awesome kickboxing coach and the ALL the guys at 68 Inside Sports who were super supportive. Brian Davidson and the Grindhouse guys (especially my friend Will Joplin!) for always welcoming me with open arms. And my Grindhousegirl and BFF Laura, for helping me along the way and being my sounding board and best friend a fighter girl could ask for! I also want to thank Jerry Chavez who created our awesome poster and caught the magic that night. Hes the best!
Q: So whats next for you? Any idea when you will be fighting again?
A: I have no idea when I'll be fighting again next. I am not quitting, just taking some time off to give back to my boys and build my business :-) Fighting and training is somewhat of a selfish thing. I feel like its time for me to focus on Robby, maybe enroll him in some sports/activities. He is the best kid a busy mom could ask for, he absolutely loves going to the gym and practice with me, but it leaves very little time for him. Theres often nights that the only solitary hour I have with him is in the car to and from practice. Then I take him to the babysitter overnight and hes at school all day. 11 months straight of this wears on my heart. I plan on cooking them dinner more often and keeping up on laundry. We are ALWAYS running out of clean undies and socks! Haha! Its also Robb's turn to get back into the cage, so its a little easier on the household if only one of us is fighting. I also plan on coaching a bit and traveling to some of the USGWA tournaments to build some brand awareness for wrslrchick. I just felt like I was starting to spread myself too thin and perhaps a perfect time for a little break!
Q: Anything you want to take this time to plug or promote?
A: Sure! Please "like" wrslrchick.com on facebook!! It is not just a brand, the website also has a forum and a calendar of events which includes girls wrestling tournaments and upcoming fights in which wrestler chicks will be part of. I have wanted to make this happen for quite some time and its all finally coming together! I met a really awesome little 5 yr old wrestler girl that reminded me why I need to follow this dream and make it happen!
Blue Corner Promotions and Brian Miller/Ben Nogueras/Jesse Finney for always hosting a classy event and taking the chance on a female co-main event for the first time ever!
Thanks to Tussle fight gear as always :-) Also Casey and Josh at Resolution Reuse who sponsored me for this fight! Don't throw your old stuff away give it to them! Check out Resolutionreuse.com
Q: Are you looking for sponsors?
A: Probably not at this time because I don't know when I am fighting next, but I do know this super awesome guy on Team Philippus that fights at 235 and is 6-0 ;) and an up and coming 105'er that is as talented and classy (and fancy) as they come! Robb Philippus and Laura Marcusse would be some smart choices if anyone is looking to sponsor some class act fighters.
Q: Jessica again I want to thank you. I have become a fan and really think highly of you. Any last words before you go?
A: Thanks Jason! Thank you for showcasing us girls when many doubt us and disapprove. Just a word to anyone out there who sells themselves short. Don't do it! Take a chance on yourself; you'd be surprised what our bodies can achieve when the mind is on board. Life is too short to sit around and watch it pass you by. Go live your dreams!

I have a requirement to see who is using a "Sign" function in queries. If i give a condition like b.SqlTextInfo like '%SIGN%' sqls having string - SIGNON_TIME also get qualified. I want to just check for word "Sign' or "syslib.Sign" and texts like - SIGNON_TIME should not qualify.
Could anyone help me how to do this ? To draw a parallel, the way we can search for "whole word" in MSWord.

...is today, and will hopefully be well recognized throughout the world, serving as a 'catalyst' for change in bringing equal representation for women everywhere - it's pretty incredible that there are still major shortfalls in women's pay as compared to men for the same work level.
When Eric Blore and Edward Everett Horton were making much more then Ginger was for the early G&F film series installments, Ginger held out for a better deal, knowing that she was as much a part of 'the franchise' as FS was...and MORE important than EB or EEH were, in terms of box office draw.
Y'all know I'm not big on 'political' issues and such, but... this one seemed to apply to Ginger quite well....and hope this inspires you ladies out there to push for change where it is needed, in any capacity. And, just to throw it out there, the inequity for women remains even on this DAY, as it is the only 23-hour day of the year... grrrr....
With that, hope everyone out there has a Gingery weekend, and I'll hopefully get some posting going on here soon!
Until that time,
KIG, y'all!!!

Arlington Heights police received a report about 6:30 p.m. Wednesday that a burglar might be in a home in the 900 block of South Dryden. Arlington Heights police arrived at the residence and determined that there was reason to believe someone was still in the house.
A resident came home to find a back door ajar and thought some motion and noise was detected inside the home. The resident also noticed that at least one item was missing from inside the house. Police thoroughly checked the home after having the resident communicate by cell phone with roommates that also lived at the home to confirm that they were absent from the home. The police then had to determine if there was an intruder or if a legitimate resident was inside sleeping or wearing headphones, etc.
No known arrests were made after at least five police squads were at the house for over thirty minutes.CLEAR SKIES?  Weather Data for Thursday, December 10th, 2009
IMPORTANT NOTE: All persons referred to as subjects, defendants, offenders or suspects, etc. are presumed to be innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

Improving services for the frail and elderly
On August 22nd, 2014 In General
A recent report highlighted that 65% of emergency hospital admissions in 2012-13 were from people who are aged 85 or over. While this is a national figure we do see a lot of older people coming into Grimsby A&E, especially in the winter months. We've been lucky enough to enjoy some warm weather recently so winter seems very far away. But
How do we keep the cost of medicines down?
On August 18th, 2014 In General
Treating diabetes swallowed up over £800m from the national NHS budget last year. It's a significant number that is, unfortunately, likely to rise again before it falls. In our area more people have diabetes than the national average; 6.4% of people in North East Lincolnshire are diagnosed, costing us 10% of our annual budget. So
The reality of life in a GP surgery
On August 4th, 2014 In General
It's not every day you get the chance to appear on a BBC TV programme, but that's exactly what's happened to our team at Field House Medical Group recently. We were approached by a television production company (the makers of Channel 4's Educating Yorkshire) looking for GP practices to take part in a fly-on-the-wall
GP Waiting Times
On July 29th, 2014 In General
It's important that you can see a doctor when you or a loved one needs to, which is something that we're pretty good at in North East Lincolnshire. Recently many other areas of the country were criticised in the news for GP appointment waiting times that are longer than ever. But 92% of people in North East Lincolnshire were able to
Re-energizing the community
On July 7th, 2014 In Community
There's never been a better time to get involved in local health and social care services, and what's even better is that it's never been easier! I was at a relaunch event for our local community membership group Accord recently. If you haven't already heard of Accord it's a scheme that has been around since
Rolling up your sleeves and making a difference
On May 12th, 2014 In General
I have often been asked whether it's right for someone without a medical background to be Chair of a health organisation like North East Lincolnshire Clinical Commissioning Group. It's a fair question, but when I explain how our CCG is structured it's clear that many other CCGs across the country are beginning to sit up and take notice. I've
Award-winning project...Better care that saves money
On April 18th, 2014 In Peter
Keeping an eye on the purse strings for health and social care remains a challenge as we're faced with smaller budgets whilst being expected to fund services for an aging population who have more and more complex needs. Let's face it: money is tight, so a big part of my job is to find new ways to deliver services that are good value
From Cleethorpes to London
On March 13th, 2014 In Peter
Not many people get the chance to see inside the House of Commons but this week I went to London with my wife to do just that! Earlier in the year I was nominated for a Heat Hero Award for helping people in Cleethorpes and Grimsby living in fuel poverty. North East Lincolnshire Council organised the training with the National Energy Action and

Best Backpacks for Women on the Road
All types of women are taking to travel on the road each enjoying their moments in their own imitable style. While some opt for conventional baggage, most of them prefer backpacking.If you are a woman who is planning to be away for months on end with just a backpack as the only constant companion,it is imperative,that this vital piece of luggage lasts you faithfully for the duration of your journey. So how do you decide on this monumental selection? With a little bit of guidance from us, combined with your own marketing skill and inspiration, we can guide you to select the almost perfect backpack for your road travel dreams.
Confirming to airline regulations
If you itinerary involves hopping from place to place by air, then keep the weight of your pack in mind. Airlines are becoming more and more stringent on what you can carry on board these days. Most of them have set a limit of 7kg for cabin luggage, so the backpack you select should not only be light but sturdy and comfortable as well.It may not have the heavy padding or extra zippers with pockets, but their structural design will bring the weight down to around 2kg which is ideal for carrying and storage.
Backpacks can be pilfered easily,so it is best to compromise on size and select one which is small and always remains in sight and conforms to the airlines regulations.
Believe it or not, what really determines the size of the backpack you should carry is your body weight.Since you will be toting it most of the time on your long trips, you should aim for a full backpack to weigh around a third of your body weight.This is of course if you are fully fit, else you should go for a full pack weighing a fourth of your body weight.
A backpack which is big and stuffed to the brim, will not only cause a strain on your back it will make the whole job of travelling less fun. This especially so when you have miles to walk looking for the right accommodation.
A good backpack for women should have a hip strap, as the hips bear most of the weight of the body and not your back or shoulders. In addition, the straps should be soft to prevent them from cutting into the armpits. It should be wide and contoured to fit snugly across the back.
Backpacks, especially those used for long treks, should load from the front. This means it can be used like a suitcase, with access to any item at your fingertips. This will allow you to have the stuff you require, without taking everything out of the pack,as the case in traditional packs,which load from the top
Type of frames
Backpacks, either have external or internal frames. While it is up to you to decide which is suitable for you, depending on your fitness level, the external frame packs do not adapt easily on rough trails. They can however carry more weight. Internal frame backpacks, on the other hand, are stabler and fit better to the contours of the back.
Have of an integrated day pack.
Including a detachable day pack added onto the backpack has many benefits. In case your pack becomes overweight over the regulations of the airline, this day pack can be removed.You can then use it as a purse or briefcase, while using the backpack as cabin luggage.
Choice of pockets
Even though the number of pockets in a woman's backpack is a matter of personal choice, the general opinion is that the backpack should have plenty of them.Granted that the pockets are easier to get into by stealers, the convenience afforded by having quick access to the small useful items is valuable.
Cover for the backpack
Choose a backpack with a zippered waterproof cover.This enables any straps from getting stuck in the overhead cabin or luggage ramps, forcing the handler to damage the backpack.Since without straps, your pack will be of little use, a nice cover will tuck in all the hanging straps and convert the pack into an easy to carry suitcase or shoulder bag. Another important use of the cover is that since everything is hidden, the bag is safe from thieves.
Choose a color that does not show the dirt. At the same time ensure that the pack is not too flashy and in attractive colors to avoid any undesirable attention from thieves. Provide a delicate balance between safety and beauty.
Test check
Once you have arrived at a decision, there are still some things to be checked before you walk out of the shop with your purchase.
Load up the bag as much as you can and walk around the shop as long as you can. Check for points of discomfort or pinching and overall comfort while wearing it. If the straps are not of the right length, get them altered by the salesman before leaving the shop. Buy a few extra straps in case of unforeseen breakdowns, Choose a pack with a mesh on the back to avoid direct contact with the back and saving it from damage due to sweating.
Every woman has her own decision to make, as there are innumerable choices in women's backpack ranges.You may have to try out many of them till you find one that is suitable for you. Just remember not to rush into anything, as this is one part of your equipment that you will be donning most of the time, even if you have to spend that extra buck to acquire it.
Having the right travel backpack will help you overcome the obstacles you are sure to encounter on the roar. Keep in mind that you will be off the beaten path most of the time, and at some places there may be not be a path at all. So sum it all sum all in one simple word: convenience.

The hungry holidays have come and gone. But appetites will continue to chew their way through 1998. And based on what several notable caterers are dishing out, the new year has christened a new champ for the chops: beef.
Yep, chicken is all but extinct, and for those of you who have been asking for years, "Where's the beef?" well, just take a look--and then devour--the chow (preferably prime rib) served up at that next party.
Here's what several caterers say will spill over onto party plates in the coming year.
* Deirdre Sullivan of Deirdre Sullivan Catering & Event Planning:
"Beef is the thing people are asking for. It's the biggest-selling ticket right now. We did a party where we had beef skewers served with a sweet and spicy Thai sauce. We also did our take on traditional beef dishes by altering them a bit to make them more ethnic. People want beef because it's one of those comfort foods that Mom used to make on Friday night when you were a kid."
Also big on Sullivan's list: grilled cheese sandwiches made with home-baked sourdough bread and cheese layered with caramelized onions and topped with cilantro.

The 2006 men's NCAA Volleyball Championships are being hosted by Penn State University on May 4-6.
Coach Alan Knipe's Long Beach State club is one of the teams most figure has a solid chance of spending that weekend in State College, Pa.
But there are no pictures of PSU's Recreation Hall (site of the NCAA finals) plastered in his team's locker room, or on his office wall, to serve to remind his guys of what the team's ultimate goal is this season, and where it has to be achieved.
"I'm not the kind of coach to put up things (on a wall) for motivation, like, 'Let's get to Penn State!" " Knipe said this week, a few days before his sixth team was to begin its season with a 1 o'clock match against USC today at UC Santa Barbara in the eight-team, UCSB/Elephant Bar Collegiate Invitational.
"We have extremely high expectations in this program. If we did that (put up reminders of where the championships are being held), we'd just have to put up a different (site) every year, because that's our unspoken goal every season. Guys (recruits) come here, in part, because they know we will have a chance to 'play for it all." I don't need to create any motivation."
Led by four returning starters from a squad that was 22-10 and finished third in the national ratings, the 49ers appear to have the ingredients needed to launch a spirited pursuit of the program's first national title since 1991, when the then-Ray Ratelle-coached team had a second-team All-America middle blocker named Alan Knipe.
Setter Tyler Hildebrand, a two-time, first-team American Volleyball Coaches' Association All-America, is a prime candidate for national player of the year honors as a senior.
And some, including UCLA Coach Al Scates, think Hildebrand could be the setter for the U.S. 2008 Olympics team.
Robert Tarr blossomed into one of the most dangerous outside hitters in the sport last season as a junior, also earning first-team AVCA All-America honors, while averaging 4.87 kills per game.
Middle blocker Duncan Budinger was a second-team Volleyball Magazine All-America as a junior, finishing third on the team in kills (2.58 per game) and second in total blocks (106).
He's also the career leader in hitting percentage (.474) with the program.
Another middle blocker, junior Teddy Liles, led the team in total blocks (111) and had a hitting percentage of .433.
There were three significant losses in libero Paul Munoz (259 digs), and outside hitters Yassir Sliti (second on the team in kills at 2.99 per game) and Nathan Hagstrom (2.25 kills per game and 153 digs).
Junior Tyler Caldwell is expected to take over Munoz's role, and returnees Paul Lotman (who started some down the stretch last season), Francisco Valdez, Kevin Cape, Justin May and Norma Hutton will all challenge for extensive on-court time, Knipe said.
Knipe and his staff brought in the top-ranked group of newcomers in the country, including Moore League standouts in outside hitter Gavin Christensen (Wilson) and middle blocker Dean Bittner (Lakewood).
Christensen and another highly touted middle blocker, Daniel Fabry (Park Ridge, Ill.), could get into the on-court mix this season with the other six freshmen liked to be redshirted.
There were some nerve-wracking moments for the program in August when Hildebrand's left knee buckled in the first match for the U.S. during the World University Games in Turkey.
But, upon returning to Southern California, an examination revealed no ligament damage.
"There were some bone chips that they cleaned out (surgically)," Knipe said.
The time off the court for recovery from the surgery and rehabilitation "was good for him," Knipe added.
"He's been pretty much going non-stop (with the 49ers and USA Volleyball) since he enrolled (as a freshman). This gave him an a opportunity to spend a lot of time working with (head trainer) Dan Bailey, getting his legs into great shape. Now he's stronger and more physical than ever."
And that is another reason why the 49ers are a threat to fulfill that ultimate goal of theirs this season. You know … the one that goes unspoken but fully understood in and around the Walter Pyramid.,
