15,000 people enjoyed an August Bank Holiday by the water on Pelsall North Common and were treated to entertainments on and off the water at IWA's annual Festival of Water.
Over 100 boats, many decorated with bunting, lined the Wyrley & Essington Canal, contributing to a truly festive feel. Historic boats were open to visitors on the junction with the Cannock Extension Canal and floating traders selling jams and cheeses were kept busy as visitors lined up to get a taste of the local waterways on free boat trips offered by Truman Enterprise Narrowboat Trust. On Sunday night a procession of illuminated boats lit up the canal.
There was plenty to do on land too. IWA's Waterway Recovery Group was busy training the navvies of the future, giving enthusiastic youngsters a taste of digger driving. Visitors admired the selection of classic cars and shopped for crafts, while children were amazed by a selection of birds of prey, reptiles and mammals as well as waterway-themed craft activities.
The festival brought life to the underused north east corner of the BCN network, with many of the boats arriving as part of an Explorer Cruise organised by Birmingham Canal Navigations Society, and other boats arriving using different routes from across the country. The festival also raised awareness of Lichfield & Hatherton Canals Restoration Trust's plans to restore to navigation the two canals which would connect this little used section of the BCN to the rest of the waterways system.
IWA Events Chairman John Butler said "Feedback from boaters and visitors has been incredible. This event reflects a huge amount of voluntary effort, leading up to, during and following the event. I'd like to thank everyone who was involved in making this Festival an outstanding success, including the people of Pelsall, Walsall and surrounding areas who came along and gave the event such a wonderful atmosphere."
In 2017, IWA's Festival of Water will be held in Ilkeston on the Erewash Canal.

text: BFifer 0 Report post Posted November 25, 2015 Starting my new project: Bertram 25 to hand off eventually tor my young son... second project... first was the 13' whaler which was for my daughter. stinks to be the first born... she got the smaller project! So, I have a Bertram 25 hull that I purchased from a man who did a fine job of prepping this hull to for a center console rebuild (coosa transom bump-out coring, coosa gunnel coring, c 1.5" side "stringer" with upward braces to gunnel, Polyumac coaming off the gunnel. I'm planning to follow through with the design of a center console but aiming toward under-helm access for head accompanied by possible dual berth. Yes, that may be impossible, but I haven't done a schematic that even resembles practicality, but the again I've never accepted that anyway. If not possible, I'll likely consider moving back to a Spartan cabin plan with curved bulkhead aimed at maintaining walkaround capability while offering full length berths. Regarding power, I am rather certain I am going against the traditionalists and planning a bracket with dual 175s or >. I don't mind designing properly from the start to achieve fewer moving parts in the end. Also, in regard to superstructure, this will be a full fiberglass hard top. So, my question... if you were to design a boat of this nature, what are your immediate and long term design thoughts, or any thoughts? Broad question, right... but that's where I am. I plan about 3 months of "thinking man" pose before I take action, although I will be killing ducks part of that time, so I'll come up from the knee part of the time. Thanks in advance for your help.

New FAW 6.130 FL Freight Carrier impresses
Johannesburg-based company Careful Carriers has been using a FAW 6.130 FL truck since late last year to transport loads across South Africa, Botswana and Lesotho, racking up about 40 000 km in the process. The vehicle represents a new medium commercial from FAW South Africa and, like the successful 8.140 on which it is based, the model is equipped with a Cummins engine.
The truck, which has a 4,6-t payload, was delivered to Careful Carriers by FAW Isando. "The vehicle has met our needs perfectly, whether carrying full loads or a single pallet," says Braam Lottering, the freight company's operations director. "There are no complicated fuel systems or electronics and, when it's had to be serviced, work has been completed within a day, keeping downtime to a minimum."
With service intervals of 15 000 km, the vehicle has been serviced twice – once at FAW Randburg and once at FAW Spartan. "In terms of fuel consumption, we are achieving 8,5 km per litre – and the truck is comfortable to drive," says Lottering.
Since Careful Carriers has a number of 8.140 models in service, company personnel are familiar with the 6.130's layout and components. "The similarities made learning to drive the 6.130 FL a straightforward process," says Lottering. "We've had no complaints from our drivers. Also, the vehicle is comfortable, light on fuel and powerful enough to meet our needs. We consider the 6.130 to be the benchmark truck in this market segment."
Careful Carriers has been in business for over 30 years and operates a fleet of 75 vehicles across southern Africa. While specialising in fragile loads shipping, the company also provides supply chain management and warehousing services and counts Coca-Cola and SAB among its clients.
Reflecting on the state of the transport industry, Lottering says the price of fuel is a significant issue and the addition of more levies, as well as introduction of carbon tax, are making it difficult for transport businesses to thrive. "Those factors make the FAW 6.130 FL an even stronger buying proposition for us," he says.

"1917: the year that shook the world" will occur in September at SESC Pinheiros with international speakers, including Esteban Volkov, grandson of Trotsky
From September 26-29, Sesc in São Paulo and Boitempo will host at the Paulo Autran Theatre of Sesc Pinheiros in São Paulo, the international seminar 1917: the year that shook the world on the centenary of the Russian Revolution, one of the defining historical moments of the twentieth century. More than 30 speakers from Brazil and around the world, including some of the most representative names in the human sciences, will discuss the theme through courses, debates, lectures and book launches.
Among the highlights of the program is the course, The History of the Russian Revolution, composed of four classes, one per day each morning, which will introduce the process that led to the 1917 Revolution and the history of the USSR.
Afternoon and evening periods will be occupied by 10 lectures on historical and political themes related to the Russian Revolution, such as political organization, women's equality, the idea of communism, artistic representations of utopian thought and the legacy of the Revolution, among other topics. Each lecture will have one or more commentators and a chair responsible for facilitating questions and comments from the public.
In addition, the seminar aims to go beyond academic discussion by promoting a general survey of the last century, taking as a reference point the Russian Revolution and its consequences, in order to provoke new paths in contemporary thinking.
The complete program of the seminar, as well as information on registering, may be accessed here: https://revolucaorussa.com.br

Algeria, May 30, IRNA – Iranian foreign minister in a meeting with his Yemeni counterpart asked for Sana'a's more serious efforts in pursuing the fate of the abducted Iranian diplomat in Yemen.
"Tehran is also ready for expansion of bilateral relation in various regional and international scenes," said Zarif, appreciating the Yemeni government's moves and cooperation in pursuing the fate of the abducted Iranian diplomat and asking for more intensified efforts in the field.
Abu Baker al-Qurba, too, for his part referred to the accelerating trend of developments in the Middle East region, emphasizing that in order to resolve the problems collective cooperation of the Middle East countries and shared usage of their facilities and capabilities at the service of pursuing the shared interests is needed.
He referred to a recent round of talks held in the course of a visit of Sana'a by the Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and the establishment of a special joint committee to pursue the fate of the abducted Iranian diplomat.
He meanwhile announced his country's will for the expansion of relations and for resolving of certain existing problems.
The Iranian foreign minister who was in Algeria during the past three days to attend the 1the NAM Foreign Ministers Conference left Algiers for Tehran at about noon time on Friday.
Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said on March 21, 2014 that the Iranian diplomat abducted in Yemen last July is "in complete good health."
Amir-Abdollahian said that the Yemeni officials are seriously pursuing the release of Nour Ahmad Nikbakht, the Iranian Embassy official who was abducted in the Yemeni capital, Sana'a last year.
He further added that Iran is "now closer" to securing the release of the abducted diplomat.
Last month, Yemeni Charge d'Affaires to Tehran Abdullah Ali al-Seri, said that Nikbakht is alive and in good health, emphasizing that the Yemen Interior Ministry and security forces are responsible for investigating the fate of the abducted Iranian diplomat.
Nikbakht was on his way to work from his home in the city's diplomatic quarter on July 21, 2013 when unidentified gunmen blocked the road, forced him out of his vehicle and abducted him.
On January 18, 2014, another staff member at the Iranian Embassy in Sana'a, Abolqasem Asadi, was gunned down by members of a terrorist group outside the Iranian ambassador's residence in the Yemeni capital.
The assailants first tried to kidnap the Iranian diplomat but when they faced his resistance, they opened fire on him. The diplomat who was seriously injured passed away in hospital.

Discussion in 'Overtime Zone' started by CowboysFanSince88, Oct 20, 2013.
But it didn't, Jesus Christ, just stop with hyperbole.
Did you watch the game at all???
So what route combinations and protection schemes did the Cowboys use? Can you identify what plays the Cowboys had in their gameplan? In what situations were they used and what do you feel would have been better options? When Romo checked out of plays what keys was he looking to and what plays were run as a result? What play calls do you think they checked out of?
If you do not have an understanding on that level then you are looking at how the game was called in a pretty dumbed down way. "They should run the ball more DERP DERP DERP!" And the 'predicable' label when people really don't even know what they are looking at is just laughable.
So I see your still complaining about Romo in an easy win with his two pics. Guess his needing a perfect game in order to win prediction you made didn't come to fruition.
Why are you vetching about a win by the Cowboys? Grow up for once! The Cowboys won and all you want to do is complain?
And another thing: OP you don't get to include me in your 'we all.' I don't group with this sort of analysis.
It was a road win over a division opponent, be happy for christ's sake.
That they made the Eagles look like clowns on their home field is a bonus.
We actually ran the ball more than unusual. We just weren't very successful at it. Randle wasn't too bad, though.
That's the dumbest thing I've heard in a while. I'm talking about 2nd and short, not 2nd and 10. I'd live for those 2nd and short situations precisely so I could go downfield with confidence that I can pick up the needed yards on 3rd down.
Well, in Madden it might work, because I swear that is what some posters think how football works.
the last 2 romo ints have been on 3rd and 4, 3rd and 2
This is correct. Although, I don't think it really catches the defense off-guard, because they ought to expect you to throw it on 2nd and 2, for the exact reason you mention.
The offensive play-calling is fine. We put up a lot of points. People just like to second-guess the calls that don't work, no matter *what* the results are. It's a simple as that, and can be disregarded, really, when the offense is productive.
Was it you that predicted a Philly blowout?
I'm happy, we got the win but I just wanted to note that I hope we don't continue to throw bombs on 2nd and 2
So see a long pass down the field on 2nd and 2 didn't irritate you at all when it happened?
I predicted a cowboys win
Now the Cowboys did run that OT play a whole lot. They got yardage out of it in the first half but in the second half they stuck with it even after the Eagles stopped it for minimal gains 3 times. I was sure they were setting the Eagles up and sure enough they PA out of it for a nice gain.
I was very pleased with how the offense came out in the second half and started marching down the field and getting first downs. They started running Bryant out of the slot and he found room. That is one thing I like about Garrett's teams the players improve as the season progresses.
Now the pass protection was spotty and I really don't think Tanner or Randle have good awareness. They stunted an end inside one play and Tanner stayed on the edge while Leary had to block two people. Tanner had no clue.
One thing they did do is get Randle involved in the passing game which was nice to see. College skills translating to the pro game is a good sign. 3 catches at 9 yards a pop out of the backfield helps a lot.
i also prefer a 2 yd pass on 3rd and 1 instead of a run up the middle. But we got the win and on to next week
I assumed he had a mouse in his pocket when he was posting that.
I liked that call, too.
No. It did not.
What was the defensive front they ran it against? Do you even know?

James Conway, an experienced chef, and his wife Tina, had wanted their own pub for many years. When they first viewed the premises that they were to rename The Golden Ball, in picturesque Pinkneys Green, near Maidenhead, they knew that they had found what they were looking for. It was very, very tired indeed, says James. The interior desperately needed gutting and refurbishing and much of the Pubs kitchen equipment was actually condemned! However, we could see it had enormous potential and the location was fantastic.
Tina and James bought the pub in early 2009 and started the process of breathing new life into it. The kitchen was a key consideration and James had researched several commercial kitchen design and installation specialists before deciding on Nelson Catering Equipment. Nelsons knowledge and experience of pub kitchens was seriously impressive. They immediately understood what I wanted to achieve and were able to provide exactly the level of service I needed, explains James.
With his cheffing background, James has some very definite ideas about the equipment he wanted so Nelsons commercial kitchen design team worked closely with him to incorporate everything into a highly efficient design that flows perfectly. The layout maximises the working space and enables the three chefs and other kitchen staff to work together comfortably and harmoniously. It also means that extra staff can be accommodated at exceptionally busy times. Most importantly, the new commercial kitchen adheres to all legislation and enables a much better working practice.
The pub restaurant has quickly built a strong reputation and now regularly caters for between 150 and 250 covers a day. Food is virtually all cooked to order and the emphasis is on high quality, locally sourced ingredients. It was important to James that the pub kitchen should be able to respond fast so the equipment he decided on reflects this.
By investing in good quality equipment and a well thought out kitchen design, I know I wont have to worry about the kitchen again for a long time, concludes James. We have built a loyal clientele and with my new pub kitchen, I can simply enjoy cooking for them with complete peace of mind.

Franciscan's Neighborhood Health Center Transitions to Adult & Child Health
INDIANAPOLIS – Franciscan Health Indianapolis, a nationally recognized hospital and physician network, and Adult & Child Health, a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) Look Alike and Community MentalHealth Center (CMHC), have joined together to better address the needs of underserved persons in Central Indiana.
Since 1997, Franciscan Health has owned and operated the Neighborhood Health Center located at 234 E. Southern Ave. in Indianapolis. On April 1, 2019, Franciscan Health will transfer ownership and operation of the clinic to Adult & Child Health. The addition of the Neighborhood Health Center will mark Adult & Child Health's 4th FQHC clinic opening in the past 18 months.
Approved by HRSA as a FQHC Look Alike in 2017, Adult & Child Health offers family medicine in conjunction with behavioral health and social services it provides as a community mental health center. Integrating primary health services with mental health and addictions treatment allows Adult & Child to focus on the whole health needs of communities and persons served.
RELATED CONTENT: Adult & Child Health Advances Affordable Housing Through Two Major Development Projects
For nearly 30 years, Franciscan Health's Neighborhood Health Center has been a vital resource for residents in southern Indianapolis, many of whom have limited ability to pay for health care. Building upon the historical role of the center, the organizations believe Adult & Child's combination of FQHC and CMHC services will bring greater access and breadth of services to surrounding neighborhoods in the area.
"Franciscan Health is pleased to work together with Adult & Child Health," said Jim Callaghan, MD, CEO of Franciscan Health. "Adult & Child Health is a leader in providing comprehensive mental and physical health. Their mix of services will help ensure patients receive the resources they need to live full and healthy lives."
Several months in the making, Franciscan Health and Adult & Child Health have coordinated their efforts to address the complex care needs of persons served by the Neighborhood Health Center. The organizations have established a 90-day period during which current providers will work with incoming providers to assure an effective transition of care for each patient. Beyond the personal "warm hand off" occurring between providers in the 90-day period, Franciscan Health will make patients' medical histories available for continuity of care with Adult & Child Health providers.

The alignment between Franciscan Health and Adult & Child Health extends beyond the April 1 transition of the Neighborhood Health Center. Dedicated protocols have been established to improve communication and coordination of care for shared patients. Franciscan Health and Adult & Child Health expect their new affiliation will close gaps in the health care continuum and improve patient outcomes by addressing access to care and social determinant disparities common to underserved, low-income communities.
At 234 E. Southern Ave., Adult & Child Health will provide a full continuum of outpatient family medicine and accept patients of all ages. The clinic at 234 E. Southern will be staffed by Dr. Mark Striebel, Dr. Lisa Koers, and a Family Practice Nurse Practitioner. The clinic will serve as a comprehensive health home for acute and chronic medical conditions, sick visits, sports physicals, vaccinations, behavioral health, and disease prevention services.
A trusted leader in providing faith-based, integrated health care, Franciscan Health brings together the latest technology, innovative procedures and the brightest, most compassionate people to serve our patients in Indiana, Illinois and Michigan.
Adult & Child Health strives for caring communities, where every child, adult and family has the opportunity to live healthy, happy lives. Accredited by the Joint Commission, Adult & Child is leading provider of life-enhancing physical, social, and behavioral services in central Indiana.

Press Release
Arizona Chapter National Safety Council Joins National Safety Council in Observing National Safety Month
Campaign this year will focus on hazard recognition, fall prevention, fatigue and impairment
nhoenix, AZ - Arizona Chapter National Safety Council, ACNSC, is proud to announce that it is partnering with the National Safety Council this year in observing National Safety Month, which takes place in June.
National Safety Month is more pertinent than ever as unintentional injuries have become the third leading cause of death in the U.S. for the first time in recorded history. To reverse this trend, we encourage everyone to celebrate National Safety Month and take steps to improve safety in our lives and the lives of those we care about.
Free resources - including a poster, tip sheets, and other items - will be offered at nsc.org/nsm during each week of National Safety Month. Week one will focus on hazard recognition, week two on fall prevention, week three on fatigue, and week four on impairment.
"We're excited to be a part of this year's campaign to promote safety in all areas for the public" says Rick Murray, President of ACNSC. "We are offering various advanced safety courses throughout the month of June to further recognize National Safety Month."
The National Safety Council has been leading National Safety Month since 1996. This effort focuses on reducing leading causes of injury and death at work, on the road, and in homes and communities.
To learn more about National Safety Month, visit nsc.org/nsm.
About ACNSC
The Arizona Chapter National Safety Council (ACNSC) was founded in 1949. It is a locally controlled Arizona nonprofit organization whose purpose is to educate and motivate people to live safer and healthier lives whether at home, work, school, play or on the highway.
About the National Safety Council
The National Safety Council is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to eliminate preventable deaths at work, in homes and communities, and on the road through leadership, research, education, and advocacy. Founded in 1913 and chartered by Congress, NSC advances this mission by partnering with businesses, government agencies, elected officials, and the public in areas where they can make the most impact.
2018 was the deadliest year for vehicular heatstroke with a record of 52 children who died in hot cars. Parents and caregivers can act immediately to end these preventable deaths.
Even on cooler days, temperatures inside vehicles can reach life-threatening levels. Cracking the windows doesn't help either. Children should never be left unattended or be able to get inside a hot vehicle.
Educate yourself and everyone you know about this danger. There are plenty of resources available, including a free online course provided by the National Safety Council. Losing one child is too many.
For more information:
Improved safety features in vehicles are beneficial to those who know how to use them. It may seem frightening to allow your teen to drive in a newer vehicle because of a lack of experience with such technology.
Here are five tips on how to educate your teen and to keep them safe by properly utilizing these life-saving technologies: ow.ly/pXvD50unTHk
Whether you own a newer vehicle or not, make safety a priority.
The governor of Florida, Governor Ron DeSantis, recently signed the law regarding the ban on texting while driving. Texting while driving in Florida will become a primary traffic offense punishable by fines.
The bill was signed on Friday, May 17, 2019.
Under current law, officers can only cite drivers for texting if they are pulled over for another violation. The new law allows officers to stop motorists simply for texting alone.
A first offense is punishable by a $30 fine, with a second costing $60. Court costs and fees also would apply. The law takes effect July 1, but only warnings will be given until January, when officers can begin writing citations.
The texting ban does not apply to a driver using a navigation device or system or to a driver whose vehicle is stationary.

The National Safety Council has announced two new anti-smoking policies in recognition of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services' initiative towards its recognition of the prevention of underage tobacco use.
The first policy looks at the significant health and safety issues caused by cigarette smoking, as well as exposure to secondhand smoke, and recommends six tobacco control measures. The second policy focuses on electronic nicotine delivery systems, such as e-cigarettes, which have sparked public health concerns particularly when it comes to teens.
Trends in tobacco use over the last half-century indicate that eliminating smoking is possible, and that aggressive anti-smoking policies can be effective.

Arizona Chapter National Safety Council takes great pride in the enormous talent and professionalism of each employee that facilitates all of the resources ACNSC has to offer.

"A collection of companies you can trust in your home"
Cornerstone Home Improvements
5056 Blue Ridge Blvd.
Kansas City, MO 64133
Brenda Walters
Cornerstone is a Kansas City company specializing in window , entry door, and vinyl siding sales and installation. If you live in the Kansas City area, you may have noticed a trend. Big manufacturers want to sell you one replacement window, their window. They tell you why it's better, more energy efficient, made of the best materials, and tout all of their features. But how do you know if it's the best window for you? At Cornerstone, we approach it a little differently. We carry dozens of brands of windows (and doors and siding too) and we can tell you the advantages of every single brand from a non-biased viewpoint. After all, that's what you really need. We take our experience of over 40 years in the home improvement business and help you find the right window for your home, your situation, and your budget.
We understand that there are many home improvement companies to choose from. There are hundreds of them! So why choose Cornerstone Home Improvement? Simply put, there are two important reasons:
Cornerstone Home Improvement has earned the reputation of being trustworthy, honest and fair to its customers. A local, family owned business-three generations strong– serving the Kansas City area for over 33 years, Cornerstone is a proud member of the Better Business Bureau and NARI. We understand that our business is dependent upon our customers. Therefore, our number one goal at Cornerstone is to provide each customer with uncompromising quality products and dedicated personal service. In fact, over 60% of our business is from a repeat satisfied customer or referral—almost unheard of in this industry! You receive a premium product at an affordable price and you pay nothing until all work is completed and you are completely satisfied. Most all of the products we carry come with a life-time, transferable manufacturer's warranty. In addition, we are one of the very few home improvement companies that actually give a separate written lifetime installation warranty.
We will only install products on your home that we would be happy installing on ours. Because of that, Cornerstone is not always the cheapest company out there to choose from. However, our customers tell us again and again that based on the premium products we offer, the quality installation, and the warranties provided, that we are the best overall value. By charging affordable prices for our products, we are able to keep our professional installers busy and our prices low due to volume purchasing. And, as a multi-line distributor, we offer premium products from many different manufacturers. This assures you of the exclusive look and quality product you desire. Our trained sales consultants can help you design your project so that your home doesn't look like everyone else's on the block. You only want to have to do this once, so do it right and make it as special as possible. Get the look you want while improving your home's overall maintenance, comfort, energy, and noise control. Working with Cornerstone Home Improvement, you can have confidence knowing you are getting premium products, professionally installed at the lowest possible price.

Stockholm native Max Nunes had never done any type of martial arts. But a local school was on his way home, and he always seemed to be walking by when practice was in session.
Eventually, curiosity led him to walk into the school, where he took a class. The subject of the day was the armbar; he learned the joint lock, and instantly he fell in love with the sport.
"I'd never done anything like that before," Nunes told MMAjunkie.com Radio (http://www.mmajunkie.com/radio). "I fell in love with learning new stuff all the time."
With a 9-0 professional MMA record, 24 year-old Max Nunes has established himself as one of the best light-heavyweights in the U.K. right now (currently ranked third).
Nunes isn't just an undefeated fighter, he's also a relentless finisher, stopping eight of his nine opponents in the first round. The lone adversary to last more than five minutes against Nunes inside the cage, Iain Martell, succumbed to a triangle choke 46 seconds into the second round.
"That's my style," Max told me during a recent conversation. "I don't go for decisions, I go for stoppages."
Nunes isn't a one-trick pony either, with four wins coming via knockout and the rest via submission. If he continues to make his opponents look like amateurs inside the cage, he'll find himself fighting the best fighters in the world sooner rather than later.
Max wasn't always interested in MMA, in fact, he dreamt about becoming a professional basketball player during his teenage years. However, Nunes found mixed martial arts about four years ago, a passion that led him to leave his native Sweden for the greener MMA pastures of the U.K.
"I moved because back in the day MMA wasn't so big in Sweden… there weren't as many opportunities to compete compared to what it was in England at the time," Nunes said.
With no prior background in combat sports, or other organized sports for that matter, Nunes started his amateur MMA career in 2010. His amateur debut didn't exactly go as planned, as he ended up getting knocked out by Joe Cooper during the first round of their "FS - Fight Stars 1" bout.
"First fight, I had no experience whatsoever. I didn't really want to do it," Nunes explained. "I had never been in front of a crowd like that, just by myself. It was surreal. It was like you have no control over your body… I had never watched an MMA fight before that, never even been to one."
The devastating loss would have been enough to make a lesser man reconsider his decision to earn a living inside the cage, but it only strengthened Nunes' resolve. The shell-shocked, dazed guy who showed up that fateful night has never been seen again, replaced by a vicious finisher.
Max is currently set to face undefeated Marcin Lazarz on March 9 at BAMMA 12, and he plans to add another dominant performance to his record when the two square up at the Metro Radio Arena in Newcastle upon Tyne, England.
"To be honest I don't know that much about him," Nunes said about his upcoming opponent. "I tend to not research [my opponent] so much. A fight is a fight to me. I always train hard and I always take my opponents seriously. So it doesn't matter if he's undefeated or has the worst record ever."
Nunes plans to make quick work out of Lazarz at BAMMA 12, and he's confident it won't be his "0" that goes on March 9.
"Stoppage… that's what I plan to do in this fight as well," Max said without hesitation. "It doesn't matter if it's a submission, knockout or TKO, but I predict a stoppage."
Given his success inside the cage, Max has positioned himself nicely in the light-heavyweight rankings. If he continues to dispatch his opponents in impressive fashion, it's only a matter of time before he ends up in the UFC.
"I just want to take it [MMA] as far as I can take it," Nunes added.
Anthotis wrote:I saw his last fight. I don't remember being that impressed.
RebelSaki wrote:I really like the ratings system you've incorporated Mikal.
Realid3a wrote:Ye i have Max on my list too. I thought for sure he would of been on the Sweden card
Mikal wrote:Realid3a wrote:Ye i have Max on my list too. I thought for sure he would of been on the Sweden card
Ah shit! Didn't mean to double up like that.
Definitely a bit of a surprise that the UFC didn't try and pick him up for that, but no one knows how they operate since it makes no sense half the time

ye they do stupid shit sometimes a lot of times. the only thing i would add is that his hands and striking defense isn that good and needs work. he has good kicks tho. he's more of a take you down and GnP you then a striker

Users with SNC_READ_ONLY role, are not able to view PIVOT Reports.
If the same user, with the same roles run the same report but changing the REPORT TYPE from PIVOT to LIST, the report will run.
Steps to Reproduce
- As security administrator, access the 'Users' module and select 'Abel Tuter'.
- Assign Abel Tuter the roles 'itil' and 'snc_read_only'.
- From Reports > Create New name the new report and set the following: Table=task, Type=pivot, Row=Assigned to, Column=Active.
- Save and extend the Save dropdown menu to select Sharing.
- Within the sharing options, select 'Everyone' and Require role 'itil'.
- Close the sharing window and Save the record.
- Impersonate Abel Tuter and access newly created report. Note the expected graph does not show:
- As administrator again, access the created report in step 3.
- Change the report type as Multilevel Pivot, populate the Row field to 'Assigned to', and Column to 'Active'.
- Save
- Impersonate Abel Tuter, access the newly created record. Note the graph renders successfully.
After carefully considering the severity and frequency of the issue, and the cost and risk of attempting a fix, it has been decided to not address this issue in any current or near future releases.
The newer Multilevel Pivot are a better alternative to the pivot tables used in Istanbul, which are now deprecated.

David Beckworth has a new post on how to freak out the Fed that discusses the Fed Oversight and Modernization Act that passed the Rules Committee in the House. Having passed the Rules Committee means that the bill has already passed the Financial Services Committee, and is on its way to the floor for debate and votes. It has also drawn a lot of attention from FOMC members lately with Janet Yellen having written a letter the House and formally protested the measure in person, and with Lacker having been the latest to weigh in, both of them insisting that it would unduly politicize the Fed in reaction to this development that is hardly surprising. After all, they don't want Congress butting into their caprice like a bunch of unruly children don't want a babysitter.
But what is it that they expect? If the Market Monetarist version of the Great Recession is true, then we have a remarkably clear demonstration that monetary policy caprice has a huge down side that we'd rather not repeat.
Though, I've had daydreams about Congress taking a few stars out of the Star Chamber, it would have been the path more easily traveled if the FOMC had adopted a rule themselves… Oh, wait…What was that target again? I think the FOMC members have forgotten all about it too.
It's not my preferred target, I think it stinks, in fact, but if the FOMC had aggressively pursued it since Janet Yellen took the helm, we'd be closer to a comfortable liftoff from the ZLB than we are today, and I doubt the Fed would be facing the kind of political problems it now has. When people feel content with their circumstances, they aren't so willing to fix stuff that may not be broken.
So I guess the FOMC has a choice. It can fix itself, or Congress fix it, like it or not. There isn't any going back to the way things were after we were bestowed with the needless, policy-induced Great Recession and all the damage wrought, and they need to wake up to that reality they themselves created.
HT: TravisV
PS: Those hawks truly are victims of their own success. Perhaps next time, they should endeavor to reach goals that are far more appreciated.

High-scoring Northern Illinois is Wednesday home challenge for Flashes
Cheers from the bench during the Flashes' 71-64 win over Eastern Michigan. Closest planer is sophomore forward Monique Smith. Two behind her is Hannah Young. Coach in background is Mike McKee. (Photo by Austin Mariasy)
The women's team passed Test No. 1 when it beat Eastern Michigan in its MAC home opener.
Eastern was the second winning team the Flashes have beaten this season, a team that had the same record (7-4) as Kent going into the game, and a team it had to beat to have a serious chance at a .500 record int he conference.
Test 2 on Wednesday will be harder.
The Flashes host a Northern Illinois team with a better record (9-4 to KSU's 8-4) and better RPI (81 to Kent's 114, of 351 teams).
NIU is on a five-game winning streak, with all the victories coming at home. KSU also has won five in a row, three on the road and the last two at home. Both teams are coming off solid home victories; The Flashes beat 7-5 Eastern Michigan 71-64 in Kent; the Huskies beat 8-3 Miami in DeKalb, 82-73.
The fact that the game is in Kent is a plus for the Flashes. Northern hasn't won away from home this season, losing at Power 5 opponents Iowa State and Indiana and dropping neutral-site games against Montana (7-5, RPI 71) and Southern Illinois (8-5, RPI 152).
Kent State is 5-1 at home, including wins over Youngstown State (10-3, RPI 106) and Eastern (7-5, RPI 212).
Northern Illinois plays a style like nothing the Flashes have seen so far this season. The Huskies average 83.3 points a game, second in the MAC and 13th in the country. But they don't play much defense; their average of 72.7 points a game is last in the MAC. Since coach Lisa Carlson arrived at NIU four years ago, her strategy pretty much been to just try to outscore the opposition.
From coach Todd Starkey, as quoted by the Record-Courier's Allen Moff:
"They are relentless offensively. Everybody can shoot, everybody can pass. They play incredibly hard and are very efficient in transition. If you hold them under 80 points, you have a chance. If not, you're trying to outscore a team that's really good at winning those types of games. They're a lot for a young team to handle. We'll see what we're made of for sure."
Senior Mikayla Voigt averages 21.6 points a game for Northern. She set a Mid-American Conference single-game scoring record when she had 52 points against Western Illinois in December. Voigt, a 5-9 guard, is second in the conference in points per game, sixth in three-point percentage (44.1), tied for first in three-pointers a game (3.8), 11th in field-goal percentage (47.8), fifth in free-throw percentage (85.7) and 18th in rebounding (4.4).
"Voigt, the last several games, has been unreal.," Starkey said.
NIU's next best scorer is 5-11 sophomore guard Gabby Nikitinaite at 12.5 points per game and 5-4 point guard Myia Starks at 11.5. Leading rebounder is 6-2 junior forward Ally May, who has averaged 11.5 rebounds in her last two games and 7.5 for the season.
Courtney Woods, the Huskies leading scorer last season, was lost for the season with a knee injury suffered against Nevada on Dec. 2. At the time, she was averaging 20.1 points a game.
Northern is fourth in the conference in shooting percentage (43.1) and seventh in three-point percentage (31.8).
Kent State's defense is first in the MAC in field-goal defense and 11th in three-point defense (32.1).
Freshman point guard Asiah Dingle moved up to 16th in the conference in scoring at 13.6 points a game with her 29-point performance against Eastern Michigan. Junior guard Megan Carter is 13th at 14.7 after scoring just four points in the EMU game.
Senior Merissa Barber-Smith is sixth in the MAC in rebounding at 7.1 a game, Carter is 10th in free-throw percentage at 76.7 and Dingle fifth in steals at 2.2. Freshman forward Lindsey Thall leads the conference in blocks per game at 1.5; Barber-Smith is tied for second at 1.4.
BOTTOM LINE: Expect one of Kent's highest scoring games of the year, both on offense and defense. Key is whether KSU's defense — its strength all year — can hold down the Huskies. NIU likely will game plan against Dingle. Whether she can still score — and whether Carter can bounce back in scoring — will make a big difference.

The MAC's big game
Ohio (12-0), one of three undefeated teams left in the country, hosts Central Michigan (10-3), the preseason MAC favorite and highest RPI team in the conference, on Wednesday. It should be quite a game, though it would be hard to be better than OU's 74-71 overtime win at 8-4 Buffalo Saturday.
Elsewhere in the league, it's:
- Akron (9-3, 0-1) at Western Michigan (7-5, 1-0).
- Bowling Green (7-5, 0-1) at Ball State (5-8, 0-1).
- Buffalo (8-4, 0-1) at Eastern Michigan (7-5, 0-1).
- Toledo (9-3, 1-0_ at Miami (9-3, 0-1).

|Rest In Peace Maddie
Traveling back to Chicago (with a slight detour)
|Our campsite at Babler State Park - this is a really nice park
On Saturday (9/8) Katie was working so we volunteered to take the kids to the "Magic House"which is an awesome children's museum in St. Louis. Unfortunately it was a rainy Saturday and everyone else in St. Louis had the same idea so the place was packed! We lasted about two hours (maybe) and then dropped them off with their daddy and we spent the rest of the day relaxing (recuperating) in the rig.
|We found the quietest area and, bonus, it had seats
We drove by the Arch on Friday (9/7) and realized that the best place to take a picture would be from the Illinois side. We walked around the outside of the Arch with plans to come back for the inside later.
From the Arch we drove to the International Photography Museum. They had a baseball stadium exhibit and the museum is free on the first Friday of the month - that was a win for both of us!
Monday, we drove across the river into Illinois to East St. Louis and discovered a park with a platform for viewing the Arch. Marty did his photography thing and then, since it was right next door, we visited the Casino Queen. We broke even so we had a fun morning.
|View of the Arch from the Illinois side of the Mississippi River
|View from the top
|Five people in this tiny pod? Very tight quarters!
|We made it to the top
On Tuesday (9/11) it was back to the Simmons house to hang out with Katie and the kids. We had hoped to visit Grant's Farm but discovered that it's closed on Tuesdays after Labor Day. Luckily, Grant's House was open and we caught up with a tour group and walked around and learned a little history. There is just so much history you can learn when you're with a one and three year old so our next stop was at a park near their house. We stopped back at their house for a little while, the kids ate lunch and went down for their naps and then we headed back to the rig to take care of Maddie.
|Parks are way more fun than museums!
Katie and the kids came by our rig after nap time so Emily and Ethan could see our house with wheels. They liked it but what they really liked was the nearby camp playground. After a little bit of playtime we headed over to Dewey's Pizza to meet Paul and have some pizza - yay! This is a fun pizza place, when you walk in there is a window into the kitchen and you get to watch them make the pizzas. The pizza-makers love an audience and were quite entertaining - they made a dough circle, stuck peppers for the eyes and mouth and then threw it at the window where it stuck, the kids loved it!
|Paul, Ethan, and Emily - they loved watching the pizza guys
After dinner we stopped at Dairy Queen for dessert. I tried to take a video of Ethan when he saw the case of ice cream cakes - he was so excited, pointing and jumping around. Very adorable, too bad I'm not any good at video taping.
We were at Katie's bright and early on Wednesday. She had an appointment to get her boot removed (did I mention that she had a broken ankle?) and we drove Emily to preschool and went back with Katie to pick her up. We stayed at their house until the kids went down for their naps and then it was time to say good-bye to the Simmons Family.
We left St. Louis Thursday morning (9/13) and headed northeast to Comlara County Park in Hudson, IL. It's near Bloomington-Normal and is also pretty close to Peoria. This was a very nice park! It's on a lake and there were lots of trails. There were lots of things to see an do in the area. We visited Eureka College and checked out their Ronald Reagan Museum. After the museum we stopped at Uncle Bob's Ice Cream Shop and discovered that a very popular Cub player grew up in Eureka, Ben Zobrist. There was a bobblehead of him in his Eureka HS uniform on the counter. After some really good ice cream we drove to Peoria and discovered the Dan Fogelberg Memorial which is on a beautiful site overlooking the Illinois River.
We left Comlara Campground on Monday (9/17) headed up to the Chicago area. We spent the end of September and the last two weeks of October in the Paul Woolf Campground in Elgin. We come back in the fall hoping for a lot of October baseball. I was hoping for a better year for the Cubs - it was exhausting watching them this year - 95 wins and yet it never felt like they'd go very far in the playoffs (and they didn't). I went to three games the last week of the season and they lost two :( and went on to lose the Wild card
|First Game - Monday, 9/24 - Lost
|Game 2 - Saturday, 9/29 - Lost
|Game 3 - Sunday, 9/30 - WIN
We're always happy to be back in the Midwest. It's great to catch up with our family and friends and visit our favorite Midwest restaurants and it's also very nice to eat good pizza! We get to meet any new babies (and there are always new babies in my family!).
|Lunch with my sisters at Portillo's
|One new baby (Madison, 4 months) with an old baby (Grace, 17 months)
|At Barone's: Tom, Judy, Sue, Mary, Jeanne, Donna and Joe - 7 out of 8, not bad!
We are leaving Elgin on 10/31 because that's the day they close for the season. We are heading to Mesa, Arizona from here with six weeks to get there; we have reservations from 12/19 thru 3/19. Not quite sure of our route but do know that we will be going through Kansas since that is the ONLY state west of the Mississippi River that we haven't visited.

The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince – yes, that is its real name – sounds like something alright. "In it, you control a wolf, disguised as a princess, who guides a blind prince through a perilous forest in search of a witch capable of restoring his sight," the press release reads. "The forest is home to a number of hostile creatures intent on ending your journey prematurely."
Due out on the PlayStation 4 next year, the title will see you switching between the wolf and the princess, using both forms to attack enemies and guide the hapless young prince. While you can probably already guess how this story will end, a limited edition package is available for pre-order from publisher NIS America's website. Check out the trailer above.

Kitchen storage is always a conundrum, especially if your living space is petite, but that doesn't mean we cannot make it happen. These 11 practical yet organised storage ideas are sure to upgrade your tiny kitchen in no time, and they're easy to implement as well! Let's take a look at these helpful hints to keep your home neat and tidy.
Get rid of unsightly boxes all over your grocery cupboard and replace them with simple, yet elegant glass jars.
The storage of this stylish kitchen is straight forward, with just enough cupboards to keep the space organised.
A small kitchen can look a lot more warm and welcoming with open shelves to store all those day to day crockery items.
Tinned foods and groceries can be bought months in advance so you never run out of anything again. A large grocery cupboard with plenty of shelves will ensure that your space stays neat and tidy.
Check up on the expiry dates of all your stored groceries regularly or keep a list of the items and their expiry dates so you know what needs to be used up soon.
The walls in your kitchen are an organisational asset, so use them to store cutlery, knives and even include extra shelving for those items you can put on display in your rustic kitchen.
Those hard to reach items at the back of the cupboard will now be easier to reach with these clever pull out shelves.
Or opt to hang your mugs with these easy to install hooks and you'll have a vintage element in your kitchen too.
We've all been there, three tin openers, five corkscrews and two whisks, check which items work properly and only store those in the kitchen, discard those broken and unusable items to make more space.
Niches in the wall can be a sensational alternative to ordinary shelving.
Just because you have a corner in your kitchen doesn't mean you need to lose storage, go for a personalised drawer such as this and make your kitchen creative again. Have a look at these From the pros: 10 kitchen tips you need to know

Poetry of Change
"Woods" by DaDaAce.
It's almost autumn and change is in the air. Literally. The crisp mornings and cool nights are invariably a small shock to the system. The fall change(s) can be a wee bit bigger than the typical back-to-school and back-to-the-grind work days.
NEA Presenting Specialist and poet, Pepper Smith, sets up and reads his latest poem about a different, bigger kind of change---fatherhood. I sat down with Pepper not only to talk about the fall and change, but also to discuss how we use language to process important moments in time. I have to point out, again, that words will be celebrated by poets and prose writers alike at the upcoming National Book Festival [this weekend!!!]. Be sure to stop by the NEA's Poetry and Prose Pavilion.
Thanks for listening!
