How-To: Reclaim your hijacked search bar – blog.makezine.com 07/12/2009 The other morning, I clicked on an upgrade button for Winamp. Generally, I like the program, it seems to load faster than Media Player, and doesn’t bother me too much. In the afternoon, I did a search by typing in the address bar of Firefox. Normally, this type of search brings me to the Google results of the phrase, but this time it brought me to the Winamp results of the search term. Grrrr. Winamp hijacked my search bar.

Why I Like Classic Car & Cycle People! While watching the TV news, I was appalled at how many people can’t just get along, to quote Rodney King. It is truly a very sad situation. Then I thought about all the different types of people we have at our event and how well they all get along. In the 18 years we have been doing our events, we have never had any trouble with the participants at our shows. Bikers, Low Riders, Classic Cars, Hot Rodders, Sports Cars types and Tuner owners, they all attend our classic car & cycle show and all of them have a great time.

For a guy who is looking to make a career out of his knowledge and insights into the world of Mixed Martial Arts, my record in the predictions department is pretty shoddy. Before leaving The Love of Sports to setup Keyboard Kimura two months ago, I was on fire, clicking at nearly 75% with my picks.Now, I’m two wins above .500, barely breaking even and looking like I’m simply flipping a coin from fight to fight.

You’re braver than you believe , and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. – Christopher Robin to Pooh I am reminded how out of sync a persons’ self-critique is with the public fac e. If you are anything like me, you are extremely hard on yourself. Raising a bar for yourself so high you often feel like you can’t possibly measure up. This certainly leads to the same unrealistic expectations of those around you, all around you—down to the guy standing in front of you in line at the grocery store and the guy that just cut you off in traffic.

I am so pumped for UFC 100. It has the big fight feel to the main event as well as the huge international show feel to it that a Wrestlemania can bring. I don’t think that I have ever been more excited for an MMA show. Being a life long wrestling fan, I loved it when the rumours circulated that Brock Lesnar was training for MMA. He was a monster heel in WWE and could wrestle really well. Wrestling fans knew that he was extremely athletically gifted and I thought that he could grind through the MMA ranks.

In what many are calling the biggest fight in UFC history, Frank Mir (12-3) and Brock Lesnar (3-1) face off in the headline event of UFC 100 on Saturday night in Las Vegas. Mir, who submitted Lesnar with a knee bar in their last fight in February 2008, says if he was Lesnar, he would bull rush at the first bell. “I would just come after me — take a chance, ’cause to sit there and play the cat-and-mouse game with me, and jab and slip and move around, I think that’s a slow death for him that he can’t possibly win,” said Mir, the interim UFC heavyweight champ but +175 WagerWeb.com underdog.

Rotorua Motorcycle Club are pleased to announce that Rowlinson Honda have agreed to sponsor the Kaingaroa Trail Ride Series for 2009.

Following the success of those events for both the club and Rowlinson Honda, it was only natural for a more formal arrangement to be made. Although the agreement is for one year only, both parties hope to establish a relationship that will continue beyond 2009.

Brock Lesnar and Nicole McClain for DYMATIZE The Ultimate Fighting Championship has carved out a historic corner for UFC 100. Despite the fact that more than 100 UFC shows have gone in the books, the symbolic century mark transforms this July event from usual summer sizzle show to organizational milestone. The Mandalay Bay Events Center plays host to the card Saturday in Las Vegas. Brock Lesnar, whom I had the pleasure of working, shooting, and chatting with (and his wife – a deer hunter herself no less) is a former professional wrestler and national collegiate wrestler.

Photo: Frank van den Velde If you’re anything like us, you’ve looked on in envy at the huge variety of classic racing on offer at England’s Goodwood Revival and wished in vain that something similar took place here in America. Wish no more, because the Festival of Legends is coming to Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca next fall. Unlike Goodwood, which focuses on the post-war period from 1948-1966, the Festival of Legends will concentrate on the golden age of American motorcycle racing — the 1970s.

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before – This is the biggest event in UFC history. UFC 100 is a stacked card with 2 title fights and a whole lot of hype. Basically, it is the culmination of my manhood. It’s so big Bill Simmons* did a podcast about it. Earlier this week UFC 100 was on the front page of ESPN.com for a few minutes. (And again today.)

By Delphi Brock Lesnar (-210, 5Dimes) vs Frank Mir (+190, 5Dimes) The main event of this historic UFC card is a rematch between the massively powerful wrestler and current champ Brock Lesnar and the jujitsu specialist and intern champion Frank Mir. Let’s go ahead and start the analysis with Frank Mir. Frank Mir’s past has been an interesting one to say the least. When he hit the UFC at UFC 34 he had a great run that included a highlight KO of Wes Sims and culminated in the now famous breaking of Tim Sylvia’s arm for the heavyweight title.
