text: More Bogus E-mails About Obama and Taxes July 25, 2008 Gerald Prante Gerald Prante Earlier this year, the Tax Foundation was bombarded with questions about a bogus e-mail that had been floating around (also on message boards, blogs, etc.) comparing taxes under Bush to Clinton. The e-mail had many problems, which we documented here. Since then, we've also gotten questions about our corrected figures, claiming they were wrong. They are not, and it largely stems from a misunderstanding of how comparisons must take into account the fact that parameters in the tax code are adjusted for inflation each year, even with no direct policy change (i.e. that is the current law baseline). But that Clinton/Bush tax bogus content is still out there, and it is now being included in an e-mail chain attacking Barack Obama about taxes. (View the content of the e-mail here.) The e-mail makes incorrect claims about Obama's tax proposals, as described in the table below. E-mail claim Fact Obama would tax capital gains on ALL home sales at 28 percent LIE. Obama's plan (like McCain's) does not change much the tax treatment of capital gains on owner-occupied housing (I wish it did), which means most home sales would remain tax exempt. Obama does plan to raise the rates on long-term capital gains that are currently taxed at preferred rates (15 percent), but this would only affect second homes and the small fraction of primary homes whose capital gain exceeded $500,000 (rare). Obama would raise the tax rate on dividends to 39.6 percent LIE. Merely repealing the Bush tax cuts (or allowing them to expire) would raise the dividend tax rate to 39.6 percent for those in the top income bracket (about 1 percent of tax returns, though a large share of dividends). However, Obama has indicated that he would apply the same tax rate on dividends as capital gains, which he has indicated would not exceed 28 percent. Income tax bills for typical families would increase, even double for some Outright LIE…not even close to the truth. As discussed earlier… Same as here. "Clinton-era" tax law assumed to be the same as Obama. But figures cited are wrong for many reasons. Inheritance Tax under McCain = 0; Obama restored LIE. Actually, McCain does not favor permanent repeal of the estate tax. And Obama does not want it fully restored. Obama would impose a 45 percent tax rate with $3.5 million exclusion, which is lower than pre-Bush tax cuts, yet significantly higher than 2010 scheduled law ($0). Obama would impose new government taxes on homes that are over 2,400 square feet LIE. This is the most outrageous claim. This appears to stem from Congressman John Dingell's proposal that would cap the mortgage interest deduction for large houses for environmental purposes. Obama has not favored such a proposal and even if he did, it would not be a new "tax" per se, just a limitation of what I would call an already bad tax provision (MID). Obama does favor a cap-and-trade system (like McCain), which is in implicit tax, but such an implicit tax would hit all homes indirectly based largely upon energy consumption. Obama would impose new gasoline taxes Ambiguous…Obama does favor a windfall profits tax on oil companies, which would likely raise the price of gasoline. However, he has not indicated support of raising the federal excise tax on gasoline (currently 18.4 cents). Obama would impose new taxes on natural resource consumption (energy, natural gas, etc.) Ambiguous…Obama does not favor any direct tax on these products (except for windfall profits tax on oil companies). However, again, a cap-and-trade system would act as an implicit tax on these oil companies, so this is not too outlandish of a claim (compared to the rest of them). It should be pointed out though that McCain supports practically the same policy. New taxes on retirement accounts Basically a lie. Obama has not said anything about a new tax on retirement accounts, unless one wants to argue that indirectly, he would affect the return on retirement accounts through his individual and corporate tax policies and dividend/capital gains policies. In fact, when it comes to direct taxes on retirement, Obama has proposed exempting seniors (those who most likely claim retirement income) who make under $50,000 from an income tax. (In my personal view, this is his worst proposal — as if this generation of seniors hasn't gotten enough from government already. Furthermore, there is a fairness question about what to do with those who use Roth accounts and have paid taxes on pension income already.) New taxes to pay for socialized medicine Yes and No. Obama does have a universal health care plan that one could label socialist to some extent, although our current system has a large degree of implicit government payments through the exclusion of employer-provided health insurance. However, Obama has not said new taxes would pay specifically for that socialized medicine although he does favor some new taxes (higher income taxes on upper-incomes, higher payroll taxes on upper-income workers and a windfall profits tax). Such a claim is not possible to verify or refute due to the fact that all government money is basically fungible. This correction of the bogus content is not an endorsement of Obama's tax plans. In fact, in my opinion, Obama's tax plan is terrible. Even if you wanted to make the tax code more progressive as Obama's main goal is, you could do it in a much better way than Obama has done (in a way that actually improves the tax code). Obama's tax plan is basically to raise taxes on the rich to spend money on the poor, yet call that spending "tax cuts." (The Republicans had a similar twisted view of "tax cuts" with the child tax credit in 1997 and 2001.) As for McCain's deficit-financed tax plan…we'll leave that for another day. *Another Incorrect Assumption About Obama's Tax Plan* The Center for Freedom and Prosperity released a video narrated by Cato's Dan Mitchell on July 23rd on Youtube discussing Obama's Social Security tax hike. In the video, Mitchell assumes that Obama would impose a full 12.4 percentage point rate increase on high-income workers. However, while Obama may have waffled on this issue a few months ago, details have emerged from the campaign indicating that he would only raise the payroll tax (combined employer/employee) by 4 percentage points, as we blogged on earlier this month. Again, this doesn't make it a good policy necessarily, but the facts need to be set straight. Stay informed on the tax policies impacting you.

More Republican Revisionist HistoryLeave a comment
May 26, 2015 by Chris Kite
Republicans are just so bad at science, math, and history.
Science? Yeah, well let's talk about global warming or evolution.
Math? Budgets anyone? Trickle down economics?
But history takes the lead as their worst subject. We're all familiar with their attempts to rewrite history books (literally) to eliminate negative things in the United States' past. And we've seen all the talk in recent years about how the economy and Iraq are Obama's fault. As well as the response to Hurricane Katrina.
But Rand Paul is particularly bold. He's taking a favorite approach of Republicans and the right, and is now trying to make the past Hillary Clinton's fault.
Yes, Bill Clinton signed into law changes in mandatory sentencing, "three strikes", and other "get tough on crime approaches. But he didn't write the legislation, it passed the Senate by an almost unanimous vote, and the trend started well before Clinton signed the bill into law. And if you look at the bulk of the US Prison population, there are far more state prisoners than federal. He didn't change state laws.
Don't let Rand Paul get away with changing history. Know the facts so you can shut down people that are going to believe him and spew this nonsense for the next 18 months!

Origami Fish Instructions and Diagram
Follow the instructions below to make this Origami Fish
Difficulty: Medium
Difficulty: Medium
As you can tell, this origami fish is remarkable in its form. However, it looks even better in real life. What you can't see here are the gills below the head that causes it to fan out more, thus causing it to generally appear more lifelike than other fish models.
This origami fish overall is pretty straightforward, but there are a couple of awkward yet simple folds. If you're looking for a very easy origami fish, click on that link. However, if you're looking for one that looks good, but is not too plain or too complex, this one is perfect.
|Step 1: Start with a square piece of origami paper. If you only have regular 8.5x11 paper, follow these instructions to make it into a square sheet.
|Step 2: Fold the paper in half by folding the left corner to the right corner.
|Step 3: Fold in half again by folding the top corner to the bottom corner.
|Step 4: Fold the left corner to the right edge as shown, then unfold.
|Step 5: Fold the upper layer diagonally as shown. Make sure to leave a portion of the right corner unfolded.
|Step 6: Turn the figure over vertically. The lower left corner of the triangle you touch the crease in the center of the flap. Make adjustments if necessary.
|Step 7: Fold parts of the triangle down over the lower flap. Your figure should look like this.

For the second year in a row, Student Action swept the ASUC general elections, winning three out of four partisan executive seats, as announced at Friday's tabulations ceremony.
Student Action's Amma Sarkodee-Adoo won president; Student Action's Andy Theocharous won executive vice president, or EVP; CalSERVE's Varsha Sarveshwar won external affairs vice president, or EAVP; Student Action's Aastha Jha won academic affairs vice president, or AAVP; and independent candidate Nava Bearson won student advocate.
"I have full faith that everyone who got elected will do amazing things," Sarkodee-Adoo said.
The night's results are in line with the results from last year's election — in 2018, Student Action clinched the majority of the executive offices, while current EAVP Nuha Khalfay was the only CalSERVE candidate to win an executive seat. This year, Sarveshwar was again the only member of CalSERVE to win an executive office, despite the fact that the party ran candidates for all four partisan positions.
Sarkodee-Adoo, a 2018-19 ASUC senator, earned 3,841 votes for president. She ran on platforms to improve basic needs accessibility, promote a safer campus climate and increase transparency from the campus regarding the use of student fees.
CalSERVE's Teddy Lake, also a current ASUC senator, followed close behind Sarkodee-Adoo in the race for president, receiving 3,609 votes. Stephanie Gutierrez — who ran for president with Defend Affirmative Action Party/Fighting for Immigrant Rights and Equality for the second year in a row — received 581 votes. And after two years with no independent presidential candidate, Wyatt Colby ran an independent campaign, receiving 402 votes.
Hundreds of audience members chanted and cheered support for Student Action in the Martin Luther King Jr. Student Union's Pauley Ballroom on Friday while the final results were announced. As those party members celebrated, however, CalSERVE candidates and supporters disappointedly left the room — some of them in tears.
"Regardless of the results, CalSERVE is here to stay," said current CalSERVE ASUC Senator Idalys Pérez. "We're going to continue going because that's what we represent. We're built on so much more than votes and an electoral process."
The race for EVP was the most competitive executive race this year, with Theocharous winning 3,758 votes for the position and CalSERVE's Maureen Simmons receiving 3,627. Despite her loss, Simmons said she was "fine with it," adding that the results did not "define" her. This marks the fourth year in a row that Student Action has held the position.
"I feel blessed," Theocharous said. "I am going to thank everyone in my community who has supported me throughout this process."
Both Sarveshwar and Bearson ran unopposed for their respective positions of EAVP and student advocate. Sarveshwar, CalSERVE's sole executive winner, secured 3,220 votes for EAVP, continuing the three-year streak of CalSERVE candidates holding the position.
While Sarveshwar said she was "incredibly honored" by her win, she was also "heartbroken" by the outcome of CalSERVE's slate.
"We've had some serious losses, but we are part of a movement … (and) we stand unequivocally with marginalized communities," Sarveshwar said. "We will continue doing work, and that work will happen inside and outside the ASUC. Strike that — that work happens outside the ASUC."
Meanwhile, Bearson secured 2,942 votes for student advocate. She said her passion has "only grown" since starting in the Student Advocate's Office in her first semester, adding that she is excited to lead the office she cares so much about.
The role of AAVP will once again be held by a Student Action candidate, with Jha defeating CalSERVE's Regan Putnam after receiving 3,649 votes.
"I'm overwhelmed with emotions," Jha said. "I'm really excited to keep the work going."
Student Action's executive slate victory extended to the senate race — 11 of the party's 13 candidates won seats in the senate, securing the majority. Of the nine CalSERVE candidates, only four secured senate seats, a slight increase from last year's results, when three of seven CalSERVE candidates won.
"We are excited for the potential to continue to be doing the great work we do," said current ASUC President Alexander Wilfert, who ran with Student Action. "(Our party won) three executive seats and 11 senate seats again — it is clear that the campus still supports what we do."
All three referendums on the ballot — the Student Basic Needs Referendum, the Transfer Remedy Act referendum and the Arts, Music and Programming Initiative — also passed.
After the results were announced, members of Student Action left the building to congregate on Upper Sproul Plaza in a circle and cheer for their candidates. Wilfert shouted, "We're getting shit done again," referencing both his and Sarkodee-Adoo's presidential campaign slogans.
"At the end of a campaign, it can seem like the end of something, but this feels like the beginning," Sarkodee-Adoo said. "I'm excited to get a lot of great work done."

We love being unintentionally trendy. So Tara recently had her wisdom teeth out which means she couldn't really chew. Now, as wonderful as an Ice Cream – Mashed Potato – Custard – Soup Diet is, at some point you've got to work in a fruit or vegetable if only to stave off the Grumpy Sugar Lows! So, much like a couple of old ladies without all their teeth, we started blending our fruit and vegetables with milk/coconut water and drinking these smoothies in lieu of lunch. The concoctions we came up with were exciting, incredibly filling and we felt much lighter as a result. Also, what better way to welcome the soaring temperatures (yes, really!) here in sunny London with a cool beverage packed with nutrition.
And there seems to be a juicing/smoothie trend going on which means we're bang on trend – win! Here a few of our favourite smoothie concoctions:
[first picture] Papaya Mojito smoothie
Makes one large smoothie
1 handful of spinach
1 tbsp chopped mint
juice of two limes
1 medium papaya, chopped
1/2 cup coconut milk (the milk substitute)
- Blend all ingredients together using blender until smooth (we used a hand held one for easy cleaning).
- Pour into a glass, add a thick straw (possibly a cocktail umbrella) and enjoy!
Your 4 a day smoothie
Makes one large, filling smoothie
1 handful of spinach
1 small banana, chopped
7 medium strawberries, chopped
1/2 cup blueberries
1 cup milk
- Blend all ingredients together using blender until smooth.
- Pour into a glass, add a thick straw and feel virtuous (and full)!
Green Virgin Mary smoothie
Makes one smoothie
1 handful of spinach
1 small cucumber, partially peeled (depending on taste) and chopped
1 apple, cored and chopped
1 tbsp chopped ginger
juice of 1 lime
1 cup water
dash of hot sauce
- Blend all ingredients together, except the hot sauce using blender until relatively smooth.
- Stir in the hot sauce.

text: The SK Retro Rant for WCW World War III 1995 – For those of you who follow my little personal asides in these rants, you'll know that this was actually the show that ended my WCW boycott in 1995. I had actually stopped watching WCW entirely once the Orange Goblin won the WCW World title and killed Ric Flair's career dead in the process, and after almost 18 months of waiting, Hogan finally lost it and WCW, probably not coincidentally, put together a card that looked good enough on paper for me to part with my $29.95 and come back into the fold. (I miss the days of $30 PPVs. I'd buy a lot more of them today if they were still that pricepoint.) – Live from Norfolk, VA – Your hosts are Tony Schiavone & Bobby Heenan. – Okay, so the Hogan Retardation Factor kicks in right away, as Hogan, Savage and Sting come out with a garbage pail and Hogan's "dark side" black costume (not to confused with his nWo black costume, which would come later), and burn the costume. Hogan was only fooling, you see, and was playing mindgames to lull Kevin Sullivan into a sense of security. (Rumor at the time was that this was a test run of sorts for the Hogan heel turn, but Meltzer talked about this very recently and noted that they literally didn't know Hogan would agree to the eventual turn until about six weeks before Bash at the Beach. In Hogan's mind at this point, he was still 100% babyface.) Then we pump up the surrealness as Hogan declares that Savage's crippling arm injury was just another plan on their part, and THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. Keep this in mind later, and also note that Savage has a HUGE bandage wrapped around his arm while giving this speech. Finally, Hogan finishes with a flurry by burning a copy of the Observer and calling it a "rag sheet", noting that it said Giant would win the title tonight and Savage was injured, and that it's the internet that really has the scoop on things. (Yeah, the internet! Take that, Dave Meltzer!) No, honestly, this interview really happened, just like that. You know, I almost miss the days of Hogan being on top, just for the yuks involved in listening to him distort the truth for his own means. – Opening match, TV title: Johnny B. Badd v. Diamond Dallas Page. DDP put Kimberly on the line here in exchange for the title match, as they were having domestic problems in the storyline. (Which of course led to the Kevin Sullivan Rule in real life.) Badd and DDP do a shoving match and hairpulling bit to start, and roll out onto the floor. Back in, Badd crossbody is reversed by DDP for two. Badd gets a samoan drop for two, and he works a headlock. Page rolls him over for a few two-counts. They fight over a wristlock and DDP cheats to win. He works the arm, but Badd pulls the hair to break. DDP charges and misses, ending up on the floor. Badd fakes a highspot and then follows with a pescado. Page then tosses Kim at Badd to gain the advantage in an innovative spot. I'm surprised Savage didn't do that one more. Back in, DDP gets a backdrop suplex out of the corner and stomps away. He gets a tombstone and showboats, but Kimberly no-sells and won't give him a 10. Kimberly's job was to stand around and hold up scores for DDP at this point, in case you don't know. (He should hire someone to hold up yoga poses for him now.) Badd catches his foot, but DDP clotheslines him for two. DDP keeps jawing with Kim, leading to him missing a blind charge. Badd then sidesteps a kick, which is a cute spot that looked better than it sounds. Badd makes a comeback, getting an inverted atomic drop and lariat. Kim gives Johnny a "10+", which I'm sure isn't Olympic standard. (I think Cecil Peoples once tried to give someone that score while judging a UFC fight.) Ligerbomb gets two for Badd. Blind charge misses and DDP uses the ropes for two. He gets a sideslam for two, but Badd rolls him over for two. Flying headscissors and Badd goes up, but DDP lifts the knees to block the splash. DDP works on the ribs with a gutbuster for two, although the move actually looked like a blown rotation bomb. Tombstone is reversed, for two. KO punch puts DDP on the floor, and Badd follows with a somersault plancha, then tosses Page back in and finishes with a slingshot legdrop for the pin at 12:33, giving him the services of Kimberly, which he retained until his firing in 1996. DDP absolutely worked his ass off from 95-98 or so in an effort to get himself over, and the sequence of near-falls to end this thing were great. ***1/2 – Big Bubba Rogers v. Hacksaw Duggan. This is taped-fist match under knockout rules. Tony and Bobby spend the first part of the match relaying, in a completely serious tone of voice, a story about how Jim Duggan's grandmother was a taped-fist champion in Ireland. I can't parody stuff like that, kids. (See also: JBL's hilarious asides on Smackdown about Wade Barrett's father Larry, the famous bare knuckles boxing champion.) Duggan attacks outside to start, and into the ring where he threatens to use the 2×4, only to get cheapshotted. Duggan clotheslines him out, however, and they retreat to Ring #2 for some reason. Duggan jams his head in between two of the ringposts in an innovative spot, then comes off the apron and gets sent to the STEEL railing. Stallamania X7 results. Back in, Bubba does some choking. Slugfest leads to Bubba's enzuigiri. Bubba adds some more tape to his fists, but Duggan punches him to the floor. Bubba, however, actually takes the advice Bobby Heenan has been giving all match and tapes Duggan to the top rope, allowing him a bunch of free shots. In one of the most retarded spots I've ever seen, Bubba charges at him, but Duggan HOLDS OUT HIS FIST and Bubba runs into it, and gets knocked down. It's hard to truly comprehend this unless you keep in mind how slow Bubba runs and that Duggan wasn't looking while holding out his fist. Bubba charges again and gets backdropped out, slamming his back into the apron in the process. Good one, Ray. Back in, Duggan hits the three-point stance clothesline, but VK Wallstreet sneaks in and gives Bubba a chain, which he uses to knock Duggan out for the win at 10:08. About what you'd expect from Duggan v. Bubba. ½* – Cutie Suzuki & Mayumi Ozaki v. Bull Nakano & Akira Hokuto. I have no idea why they decided to toss this on here, but god bless 'em for it. Sonny Onoo is managing the heels, just so we know that they're evil. Heels attack to start, and they clobber Ozaki. Bull tosses Ozaki around the ring, and Hokuto teases allowing a tag. Bull does some biting and brutally drags Ozaki around the ring by the hair like a caveman. Ozaki comes back but Bull no-sells. Hokuto chokes her out, but gets DDT'd to allow a tag to Suzuki. Dropkick gets two as the faces apply stereo half-crabs. They work on Akira's leg. Bull comes in and quickly powerbombs Suzuki. Moonsault misses and the faces take turns with double stomps off the top, which the crowd pops huge for. Double-suplex attempt on Bull is reversed, as Nakano suplexes both at once. Hokuto comes off the top but misses the splash. The faces try to double-superplex her, but Nakano pulls them down off the top. Nakano & Hokuto go for stereo powerbombs, but they get reversed to stereo ranas for a pair of two counts. Suzuki gets a flying bodypress on Hokuto for two. Hokuto hits a nasty half-nelson suplex for two, but Ozaki comes back and drops her square on her head with a german suplex. Good lord. Bull tags in and kills Ozaki in retaliation. Hokuto comes off the top with a missile dropkick on both girls at once and they bail. Hokuto follows them out with a somersault tope off the top rope, and back inside the heels hit a Doomsday Device that gets two. Bull goes up and finishes Ozaki with a guillotine legdrop at 9:18. Slow start with a REAL good finish. ***1/4 They never really got another shot on PPV again, however. – US title match: Kensuke Sasaki v. Chris Benoit. I've never been a big Sasaki fan, and his position in Japan at the time as Hawk's partner didn't help things. And check the mullet on Benoit here. Attaboy. Benoit starts with some Canadian Violence right away, but Sasaki gets his own chops. He tries the armbar, but Benoit takes him down and works a hammerlock. Sasaki backdrops out and grabs a wristlock. Two bodyslams get a two count. We HIT THE CHINLOCK, leading to a leapfrog sequence and Sasaki press slam. Benoit manages to get him out of the ring and follows with a suicide dive. (Cough) Back in, snap suplex gets two. Sasaki gets a powerslam for two. Benoit tries to debut the rolling germans, but Sasaki clotheslines him after the second one. Tombstone is reversed and Benoit hits the diving headbutt for two. More Canadian Violence and a top rope rana gets two. Sasaki stops a slugfest with something resembling a chokeslam and goes for an armbar. Benoit clotheslines him, but Sasaki no-sells, hits a Northern Lights Bomb, and gets the pin to retain at 10:02. Nothing special at all. *1/2 – Randy Savage v. Lex Luger. Now remember, at the beginning of the show Hogan said that Savage did not have an arm injury, and he's at 100%. Heenan immediately takes umbrage to that claim by pointing out the gigantic bandage on Savage's arm, and Tony actually tries to argue that Savage is okay. (This is why people hated Tony.) Savage attacks to start and chokes Luger down. Blind charge hits boot, but Savage clotheslines Luger anyway. Into a Boston Crab, but Lex makes the ropes. They brawl on the floor and back in for the ELBOWDROP OF DOOM, but the ref is distracted with Jimmy Hart. Savage tosses Luger and they brawl some more. Luger catches Savage with a torture rack for some bizarre reason, and back in for an armbar, to Savage's heavily bandaged arm, which gets a very quick submission at 5:25. Yeah, that's arm's just fine. In fact, Savage DID have a torn tricep muscle, so ignore the funny looking orange person with the male pattern baldness. (Ken Anderson?) DUD – Sting v. Ric Flair. This is the blowoff from Halloween Havoc and the Horsemen reformation. Slugfest to start, and Flair bails to Ring #2 and struts. Sting follows and continues the beating. Press slam, but Flair goes to the eyes. He chops away and does some stylin' and/or profilin'. Sting clotheslines him to end that. Hiptoss and dropkick and Flair bails to Ring #3, thus making it a running gag. Sting follows and no-sells some chops. Slugfest won by Sting, and Flair bails again. He takes a walk, and back in Sting keeps no-selling. Press-slam and Flair bails AGAIN, back to Ring #1. Sting charges and splashes the railing by mistake. Back in, Flair goes low in dramatic fashion to gain the advantage. Kneedrop leads to more stalling. He goes after the leg and tosses Sting, and they head over to Ring #3 just to pound the joke into the ground. Figure-four, but Sting powers out and reverses. Backslide gets two. Flair bails to Ring #1 and Sting presses and clotheslines him. Flair cheats and goes upstairs, but gets slammed off as usual. Flair Flip and back in for the Sting comeback. Superplex and Scorpion Deathlock finish at 14:29. This was good in comparison to lots of other matches at the time, but not in comparison to the other, more awesome, matches these two have had. In fact, it was more like a Cliff's Notes version of Sting v. Flair with some comedy tossed in. Still, Sting v. Flair is never too shabby. *** – WCW World title match, World War III: Okay, take a deep breath, because here's the 60 guys in the match: Arn Anderson, Alex Wright, Brian Knobbs, Ricky Santana, David Taylor, Scott Armstrong, Sting, Joey Maggs, Pez Whatley, Disco Inferno, Meng, Stevie Ray, Mark Starr, Buddy Lee Parker, James Earl Wright, Lex Luger, Eddy Guerrero, Cobra, The Giant, Paul Orndorff, Khris Kanyon, Bobby Walker, Bobby Eaton, Chris Benoit, Randy Savage, Marcus Bagwell, The Yeti, Kurosawa, Hugh Morrus, Zodiac Man, VK Wallstreet, DDP, Scott Norton, Brian Pillman, Craig Pittman, One Man Gang, Super Assassin #1, Mr. JL, Bunkhouse Buck, Kensuke Sasaki, Mike Winner, Hawk, Shark, Steve Armstrong, David Sullivan, Scotty Riggs, Johnny B. Badd, Black Bart, Steven Regal, Dick Slater, Maxx Muscle, Super Assassin #2, Fidel Sierra, Kevin Sullivan, Jerry Saggs, Jim Duggan, Booker T, Big Bubba, Ric Flair and The Orange Goblin. (Only nine dead out of that crew, which is actually pretty decent for a PPV from this era.) – Okay, so 20 men per ring, and after 10 guys are out in each the rings will merge into one. Until then, they split the screen into three small squares with each ring covered by one of them. The end result is that it's absolutely impossible to tell what the hell is going on at any one point, a problem compounded by WCW's usual shitty camera work, and I'm pretty much dependant on the announcers to follow who gets eliminated, and even then that's a problem given the announce team. Believe me, this match brings new meaning to the term "Three ring circus". I'm not even gonna bother doing play-by-play because I have no idea what's going on, but the order of elimination of jobbers goes Yeti, Mike Winner, Mark Starr, Buddy Lee, James Earl, Cobra, Bagwell, Kanyon, Black Bart, Maxx Muscle, Fidel Sierra, Steve Armstrong, Dave Sullivan, Mr. JL, Knobbs, Santana, Alex Wright, Pez Whatley, Scotty Riggs, Bobby Eaton, Dick Slater, VK Wallstreet and Scott Norton and apparently 23 guys is good enough for WCW because they merge the rings into one. Unless I missed 7 guys getting eliminated, which is very much possible given the amateur quality of this match. – Okay, so we're down to one regular battle royale with all the jobbers out, thus making me wonder what the point of having them all in there in the first place was. Well, that's WCW for you. One Man Gang and Regal fight on the floor as Joey Maggs gets to go first. Bubba goes out by Duggan's hand, but hangs on and takes Duggan with him. Disco gets tossed. Luger hangs out on the floor and takes cheapshots now and then. Dave Taylor gets tossed by Hogan. Hogan then puts both Booker and Saggs out, as well as Kevin Sullivan. Savage & Luger head off to another ring for a private fight as Regal gets tossed out. DDP & Badd eliminate each other as Giant goes on a rampage, tossing Pittman and Benoit. Meng gets rid of Kurosawa, but Giant gets rid of him. Giant tosses some people around as Hogan and Orndorff renew their battle. Morrus and Pillman get rid of Zodiac, but Sasaki dumps Morrus. Hawk then dumps Pillman, who hangs onto Sasaki as Hawk tries to keep him in. Hogan of course sneaks up and dumps everyone. What a guy that Hogan is, always thinking of others first. Sting splashes Eddy as Hogan reverses an Orndorff piledriver and, you guessed it, eliminates him. 9 guys left. Eddy goes up with a missile dropkick on Anderson, but the Horsemen come back and work him over. Eddy gets dumped, missed by the camera. Sting splashes the Horsemen in sequence as Giant chokeslams Savage. Sting slingshots AA into Flair, putting both Horsemen out. 6 guys left. Sting & Luger double-team Giant, but Hogan…wait for it…dumps all three guys out. Giant, the scoundrel, pulls Hogan out under the bottom rope while the camera totally misses Savage tossing Gang. However, the refs were looking at Savage taking Gang out, and they assume Hogan went over the top, thus giving Savage the World title at 29:42. I don't rate battle royales. Hogan, sportsman of the year, throws a huge temper tantrum and won't endorse Savage, and the arena just completely turns on him ala Royal Rumble 92. Hulk Hogan, hero to millions. The Bottom Line: Aside from the god-awful main event abortion of a battle royale (which they considered such a good idea that they ran it for THREE MORE YEARS), this is a pretty decent show that started a good run for WCW. Of course, all the good workers that caused it got buried during the nWo era, but that's WCW for ya. Recommended show.

["…the forgotten stones…" – Thomas Bernhard]
This one is round. I'm hefting it now. Yes, it fits well in my fist. Very well. It seems to want to be thrown, as it might have been thrown long before, by some forgotten other. Yes, it seems to say, throw me!, but not now – not now – no one is near enough.

Writer/director Neil LaBute has a new Off-Broadway production entitled "Reasons to Be Happy," a sequel to his 2008 show "reasons to be pretty." On the whole, it's gotten some pretty good reviews, including a very favorable notice from Alec Baldwin's favorite theater critic, The New York Times' Ben Brantley, who called the show "the most winning romantic comedy of the summer" with a "dynamite cast." "Reasons to Be Happy" has already been extended through the end of June.
But that is not reason enough to be happy, it seems. Because amongst the positive reviews is a negative one from Time Out New York's David Cote. And it is a negative one. Here is its introduction:
"If Neil LaBute were to teach a course on playwriting, I bet his lesson plan would look something like this: 'Week 1: Dumbing down characters to pad out dialogue and pump up conflict.' 'Week 2: Stringing together two-person scenes, no matter how monotonous it gets.' 'Week 3: Embracing flat, shallow protagonists whose poor life choices are both predictable and banal.' And finally, 'Week 12: Blasting tracks by Nirvana during changes to simulate tension and edginess.' Luckily, there is no Professor LaBute, so we're not overrun with relationship clunkers such as 'Reasons to Be Happy.'"
Cote also suggests that LaBute title his next play "Reasons to Be Silent" — so I'm going to guess he wasn't a fan. And LaBute, understandably, wasn't a fan of Cote's review. So he left a note for Cote in the comments below the article:
"david: actually i have taught writing courses at various universities and workshops and my lesson plan invariably begins by having students read the collected works of George Steiner, who was clever enough to remind us that 'a critic casts a eunuch's shadow.' some shadows, of course, are more portly than others but their effect on mankind is basically the same. brief and passing. keep enjoying the free tickets while they last.
Talk about hitting below the belt.
Cote and LaBute have sparred in the comments' sections of the critic's articles about the playwright before. Still, it does make me chuckle at the headline of Brantley's review: "Same Couples, Reshuffled by a Mellowing Playwright." Mellowing!

Miami's Club Space launches 6,000-capacity open-air venue, Space Park
The first socially distanced event took place on New Years Eve with the capacity limited to 25%
Miami's Club Space and nearby Bar Lab have launched a new 1500-capacity open-air venue, Space Park.
Situated in the Magic City Innovation District, which was the target of a recent failed campaign to stop development amid concerns over the gentrification of the Little Haiti area, the venue comprises four intimate dance floors.
Punters were welcomed for a New Years Eve party that ran from 6PM - 1AM in compliance with Miami's ongoing coronavirus curfews, with capacity limited to just 25% of the 6,000 people the venue would be able to accommodate if pandemic restrictions on crowds were not in place.
Club Space itself reopened in October, albeit without a dancefloor to enforce social distancing. Resident DJ Ms. Mada, former-NBA star Rony Seikaly and Ukrainian pair Artbat played the launch of the new address.
"It is not just going to be an event space, per se," said David Sinopoli, Club Space owner, in an interview with Miami New Times. "We're going to grow it and activate other community businesses in there to come in as a micro-concept. It'll just be a vibe. I just want it to be clear we are leading with big events, but it will also be a community center where people can come out and chill because it's going to be really beautiful, and we want Miami to really prosper from it."

Many Zimbabweans were disappointed to see Angola eliminated from the 2008 Africa Cup Of Nations on Monday after succumbing 2-1 to Egypt in the quarter finals.
The hope for Zimbabweans was that the Angolans would carry the Southern African regional flag in the stead of Zimbabwe, which didn't make it to Ghana.
Cameroon defeated Tunisia 3-2 on Monday evening, to join Ghana, Ivory Coast and Egypt in the semi-finals set for Thursday.
Ghana beat Nigeria 2-1 on Sunday, while Ivory Coast crushed Guinea 5-0.
The losers in the semi-final round will play for third and fourth place on Saturday while the winner of the 2008 Africa Cup will be decided on Sunday.
VOA sports reporter Sonny Young told Marvellous Mhlanga-Nyahuye of VOA's Studio 7 for Zimbabwe that Ghana put up a spectacular performance at Sunday night's match and is tipped to emerging the victor in this year's Cup.

PASADENA, CA – The upcoming Gilmore Girls Netflix revival has aroused excitement in hordes of internet fans, but for one woman the arousal is literal – and not as fun as it sounds.
"It's ruined my life, honestly, and I'm sick of hiding it," Tasha Perkins, 41, revealed about her newfound affliction. "I can only, you know, get there when I get a piece of news about the GilGirs N-flix Rev. That's what we Gil-Heads call it to save time."
A quick Google search reveals that new articles about the revival come roughly every 16 hours, but Perkins says the interference of anyone else's schedule makes her O-time overly difficult.
A local expert in sexual behavior, Mary Quarted of the UCLA Sexual Health, Behavior and Research Department, explains that any shifts in sexual needs or preferences tend to be psychological. "We here at the U-LA SexHeBeh and ResDep – what we call our department, to save time – haven't seen conditions exactly related to GilGirs, but we have seen many similar cases. Professional help is definitely the best way to treat sexual dysfunction like this, or sexdys likethi."
"I know I'll never get professional help," Perkins declared on Twitter this morning. "As a proud Lorelai, or Lor-Head, I am fiercely independent."
Perkins' main hope in sharing her story is to warn other Gilmore Girls fans about becoming too obsessive about the revival, and to be allowed to leave work to masturbate when news hits the web.

Have you been wanting a pair of over the knee boots? I have been looking at them for over a year (see post here) and when I saw Stuart Weitzman is having an up to 50% off Sale, I thought this might be my chance to nab them! I am partial to the black suede but some of the lighter colors are really nice too. There is every heel height available and you can do just to the knee or over. So many choices! What about you? Do you own a pair or are you still looking like I am?

Exploring Daweswood takes visitors back in time to absorb the lifestyle of the Dawes family in the early 1900's near Newark, Ohio. Being greeted by Debby, the youngest granddaughter of Beman and Bertie Dawes, made the tour doubly enjoyable. Her added stories of childhood visits added life to the beautiful old home.
Outside, the playful, lighthearted garden design reflects Bertie's favorite saying, "Let the flowers grow where they may". Beautiful flower beds surround the home turned museum, and help visitors realize the importance of plants and flowers to the Dawes family.
Inside, Daweswood House Museum, actually built in 1867, is filled with antiques, unique collections of natural history, and stories which seem to pour from the walls. The flooring and spiral walnut staircase in the entryway are original and from lumber cut on the farm back in the late 1800's. Everything was built with loving care in the best tradition of the times.
Born in Marietta, Ohio, Beman Dawes graduated from Marietta College. After serving two terms as US Representative, he founded Pure Oil Co with headquarters in nearby Columbus, Ohio. The profits from that endeavor became the source of funds to develop Dawes Arboretum for the enjoyment of people from all over the world, as well as the Dawes family. Debby mentioned that some of her fondest memories of childhood were the family picnics in the pines at Dawes. It seemed the children enjoyed the out-of-doors, just like their grandparents. Today the family still gathers at Dawes Arboretum every summer for an old-fashioned picnic.
His wife, Bertie, displayed her collections in her special studio, which overlooked the garden. Shells, butterflies, and humming birds all held special places in her heart. The beautiful bedspread in the room had been handmade by Bertie as well. This elegant lady was definitely a woman of many talents and interests… including raising peacocks. Perhaps she had time to do these things since there were housekeepers that tended to the daily chores of the family. Since there were five children, this would have been a busy household.
One beautiful family tradition occurred in the formal dining room where the family met each Sunday for dinner. The grandchildren still recall those formal dinners with Grandfather and Granny as being a highlight of their visit. This family had early access to some of the little luxuries, with electricity in Daweswood as early as 1929. Five stone fireplaces throughout the house provided a warm atmosphere. The warmth of family could be seen in the beautiful embroidered picture hanging in the kitchen to remind everyone of the importance of their Daweswood home.
A basement constructed of handhewn stone, where the children used to play, is now home to the Rathskeller. The walls are now filled with shovels and plaques of those invited for tree dedication ceremonies. Initials of the dedicators were placed on the ceiling with soot from a burning candle in the beginning, but today they are usually written with a marking pen…to save space. Back in 1927, Ohio Governor James Cox was the first to dedicate a tree. Over 100 people have been invited by the family to dedicate trees and some of those names are quite familiar: John Glenn, Jack Hanna, Richard Byrd, Red Grange, and Orville Wright to mention a few.
Behind the house is an old log smokehouse surrounded by Bertie's garden. Nearby, on the right side of the picture, you can see the corner of the roof of the History Archives Building, which is being constructed to hold photographs, family journals, and Arboretum records.
Plan your visit to Daweswood on the weekend as hours are limited. Tours are given every Saturday and Sunday at 12:00 and 2:00. Admission is $2 for adults and $1 for students, and tickets must be purchased at theVisitors Center. If you like beautiful old homes and the beauties of nature, you will definitely enjoy a visit at Daweswood.
Dawes Arboretum is located near Newark, Ohio just off I-70. Take Exit 132 , Route 13 , and proceed North on Route 13 for about three miles. The entrance is located on the left hand side of the road at 7770 Jacksontown Road. Daweswood House Museum is down the first road to the right just inside the gate, but first you must go to the Visitors Center to purchase your ticket.

European Preservation..ah, two words that seem specifically designed to put a big old smile on my face. I look at it from a somewhat folkish point of view, in that my people define themselves and their folkways without wanting or needing any input from outsiders.Who are my people?Largely Colonial Stock Americans of British descent, with German and Swiss additions and the French Creole element being the most recent, via my great-grandmother.My wife is largely the same, without Swiss blood and with
Hey all;
Yesterday made 8 weeks since my wife and I took in a 10 year old cat. Miss Teia lost her family due to their house being taken through foreclosure. Her owners are Kin of one of Anita's comrades in the woman's veterans group to which she belongs. (Anita was an officer in the US Air Force for a little over 13 years and is disabled due to service connected injuries.)
We told them that if it became a choice between us and the pound, we'd take her; 10 year old
We of European descent are in a very strange place today, sociopolitically. Sometimes our heads spin when we try to make sense of it. Herein it will be explained how we got to where we are by looking at the history of the past century with the benefit of hindsight and unconstrained by P.C.
The 20th Century will be remembered as a massive three-way Kulturkampf within the European and European-derived world for ideological supremacy and
PC Liberals love this movie and only can see the environmentalist/oppressed minority side of it, while most white nationalists/racialists dislike it because it makes white people the bad guys. Look a little deeper...
Racially pure, physically superior beings called Na'vi defend their homeland from rootless, greedy, multicultural invaders lead by white sell outs to industrial capitalism who represent a 22nd century amalgam of Halliburton and Blackwater.
I have always been aware of this contempt for civilization. I actually loathe the majority of the aspects of modern life in a civilized country. Everything we do, see, say, hear and think is fake and faked. This reality constructed around us like a cage without our permission is a mirage. You start to feel like a domesticated animal, like a hamster in a cage which is occasionally given just enough food and toys by its owner to keep it

There is a blast of energy being sent to us from the Divine. Some of us don't know what to do with it. We are unprepared and may misinterpret it. We may feel like we are being hit with something confusing and disruptive. This is our natural defense against things unknown.
We ask that you allow this energy to infuse with your own and receive the benefits that God is sending to you. It would be safe to accept this gift while meditating. Always perform your protection exercises prior to beginning. Ask that only your spirit guides and angels be present during this "download." Do your best to hold only a bright White Light while you meditate.
This energy is a very solid golden-white light. It is focused on your mind and third eye. It appears like the headlight of a train. The true color of this gift is blissfully blinding. You may feel light-headed but this will pass.
We are being given a chart alignment adjustment. Sort of a reload of what you need to be doing in order to advance on your chart. You may have been distracted by erroneous things or emotional events. This boost will help to clear away any distractions and remind you where to go.
Some of you have already blocked your energy infusion. Spirit states that you have crumpled it up and thrown it away. This is understandable since you did not know this was coming and didn't understand what it was. This is why spirit is letting you know now.
Relax and allow God to clear the way. Things will seem so much brighter. Coincidences will occur to make life easier and seemingly charmed. Many of your wishes will come to you if you are humble and appreciative.
You may assist God to bring you this gift by envisioning your world brighter and more bold in color. Make your spaces white-gold. Imagine sparkles of light. Cleanse any dark energy from all of your spaces and refill them with God's true love. Envision your cup overflowing, literally. It is possible to envision a cup or chalice that represents you and watch it overflow with golden white light. This is a good way to stay energized and motivated. Normally draining events will not hold you back. If you notice that you are losing your burst of positive energy then simply re-envision your cup overflowing again.
Also flush and clear your head and third eye. Make room for God's inspiration. Sit or lie down. Envision your head full of White Light only. Allow this light to flow abundantly through you and into the earth for cleansing. Boost the light and energy of your ear and third eye chakras Your ears are a red-violet and your third eye is indigo. Increase the intensity of this light until your eyes strain to look at it. Maintaining this clarity will help you utilize this wave of Divine inspiration. Remember to thank Mother Earth for accepting your cast off energy and ask her to repurpose it for something healthy and useful.
Why now? We have a few more weeks before the Earth begins to ready for sleep again. We have all of our resources available to us now and we may accomplish a lot before the energy shift that comes with the next solstice. This may be the wane of Summer but look at it as your time to push forward and grow in wisdom and experience.
Make some short and longterm plans. Decide what to focus on until we meet with the next holiday season.
Always remember to raise your vibration. You ascend off of this planet with grace and beauty. Nothing may hold you back if you believe in your Divinity.

Ideal Printers Adds Two Océ Monochrome Printing Systems
TRUMBULL, CT—Sept. 28, 2010—Océ, an international leader in digital document management and delivery, today announced that Ideal Printers has acquired two Océ VarioPrint 6160 Ultra printing systems to achieve more productive, integrated workflow for customers' complex kitting applications.
Ideal Printers President Larry Vaughn saw an opportunity to use automated kitting to improve production of a specialized application for an important manufacturing client. From its previous experience with an Océ VarioPrint 6250 system, the company knew it could count on the digital platform for reliability and horsepower.
"By reducing costs and being more efficient, print service providers can deliver more value to their customers, and the Océ solutions help us do this," said Vaughn. "As with many industries today, our clients are trying to run more efficiently. Inventory obsolescence and waste are critical issues for our customers, so managing inventory and warehousing efficiently is increasingly important."
With the Océ VarioPrint 6000 system, Ideal Printers has gone from printing thousands of copies on an offset press to producing just what is needed on demand. Clients don't incur the operational cash outlay to carry inventory. While the on-demand program is in its early stages, Ideal Printers anticipates a savings of 15 to 20 percent for clients currently using the program.
Customized application requires multiple substrates
The Ideal Printers kitting application requires multiple substrates and forms. The Océ VarioPrint 6000 platform offers multiple input drawers, so each substrate can be pulled on demand without operator intervention. Now Ideal Printers can collate, print, stitch, add documents, and pull white or color card stock for each individual set.
Daily orders can vary from as few as 100 kits to as many as 2,000. Depending on the request, each multi-page document ranges from eight to 16 pages, and each kit can have from six to nine different components, including specific forms and tabs. Each customized kit prints fully assembled. Clients can also easily edit information or make changes to kits without creating obsolete inventory. With integrated workflow and inline kitting, the Océ VarioPrint 6160 Ultra system reduces labor on every order. Vaughn estimates labor savings will be 15 percent after the first year.

[cnn-photo-caption image= http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2010/images/03/31/art.obamaenergy.gi.jpg caption="In a move that could help win Republican support for other energy initiatives, President Barack Obama will announce plans Wednesday to open large sections of the eastern Gulf of Mexico and an area off the Virginia coast for oil and natural gas drilling."](CNN) - In a move that could help win Republican support for other energy initiatives, President Barack Obama will announce plans Wednesday to open large sections of the eastern Gulf of Mexico and an area off the Virginia coast for oil and natural gas drilling.
"To set America on a path to energy independence, the President believes we must leverage our diverse domestic resources by pursuing a comprehensive energy strategy," said a statement provided by an administration official who did not want to comment on the record ahead of the president's announcement.
"The President will announce today additional measures that will boost domestic energy production and promote clean energy innovation," the statement said.
The GOP has long championed additional domestic drilling to lessen America's dependence on outside energy sources. The administration's plan could help win Republican support for other White House initiatives, although it won't find many fans among environmentalists.
The president will introduce the measures during an address at Joint Base Andrews Naval Air Facility Washington late Wednesday morning. He will be joined at the event by the secretaries of the Interior, Energy and Navy, as well as the chair of the White House Council on Environmental Quality.
The administration proposal would include lifting a 20-year ban on drilling off the Virginia coastline, while putting the clamps on sites that had been approved off the coast of Alaska.
The plan also would authorize the interior department to conduct seismic surveys off the south- and mid-Atlantic coasts to "determine the quantity and location of potential oil and gas resources to support energy planning."
The expanded offshore drilling is part of a larger effort by the White House to promote energy independence.
On Thursday, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Transportation will sign an agreement establishing fuel economy standards for cars and trucks for model years 2012-2016.
"We are implementing policies that will greatly reduce our dependence on foreign oil," the official said, noting the White House is "leading by example" and will announce the purchase of 5,000 hybrid vehicles for the federal fleet.
- CNN White House Correspondent Dan Lothian contributed to this report.
Lets see the republicans squirm out of this one. they have been hollering drill, drill drill. odds are they will find an excuse to vote against this too. expecially after john mccain said they would vote against any thing that the democrats propposed.
What we need is to find alternate sources of energy and slowly end our dependance on oil once and for all. By funneling all this money to the arab world we are funding our own demise. Also don't think that all this oil off the shore will be going to Americans. It will be sold on the open market like any other oil and all that will happen is OPEC will reduce their output so we are putting our shores in jeopardy for no reason.
I can hear the little morons on the right now saying,im against it now that its his idea.hahaha
This is a great move. If President Obama promotes more US drilling in addition to alternative sources, he may turn out to be more reasonable than he appeared his first year. Every dollar we drill is one less that goes to the middle east. That helps our GDP, that helps our job situation, that helps our energy independence and our balance of trade....win win win....I say...drill drill drill (and conserve, lol).
Ohhhh, here's proof that he's a crazy, far-left liberal.....
Excellent news!
Wow, I wonder what the party of NO wil do with this!
About time!
What? Drill, Baby, Drill???

The Times They Are A Changing
This past Friday we launched a new feature on the FreePromoTips Facebook Page called "Happy Hour Friday (Because It's 5 O'clock Somewhere)." Each Friday we encourage industry people to post anything they want there. It can be serious, funny, videos, insightful quotes, business horror stories, supplier promotions ... whatever! The best post wins an iTunes card.
In the end, a post by Mark Flyten from Image Builders in Minnesota was our first Happy Hour Friday winner. Mark shared a marketing focused rewrite of Bob Dylan's classic song, "The Times They Are A Changing." Understanding that we are living in a season of change is something we will continue to address and Mark's post gives us the opportunity to do it again. Thanks and congratulations Mark!
Change is something that many of us have a hard time with. And times they are a changing for our industry. In fact, I truly believe the way our industry operates now is fast becoming obsolete. That may sound harsh, but please hear me out.
Our industry is faced with many challenges. Legislation and product safety issues create new obstacles to overcome. The long-standing supplier/distributor relationship that has been the cornerstone of how we do business is in jeopardy. Overseas factories are courting the larger accounts to sell them direct. Distributors will continue to go direct to the factories when it best suits their needs. End-user buyers often shop online where they can find a cheaper price from a company who can operate on a tighter margin than the "promotional consultant" with a family to feed and overhead to meet.
In an economy that is being crushed by outrageous fuel prices and tighter budgets, sometimes it is all about price. While many of us built our businesses on relationships, creativity and quality service, it's painful to think that these things may not mean so much in this new economy.

Live, Bush Plot Joint 25th Anniversary Tour
Live and Bush, two alumni of the Nineties alt-rock boom, announced a joint summer tour celebrating the 25th anniversary of their respective signature albums: the former's Throwing Copper and the latter's Sixteen Stone. The trek launches June 6th at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, CT and wraps September 8th in Rochester, MI's Meadow Brook Amphitheatre.
Tickets go on sale on March 15th, with presale tickets available to Citi card members via Citi's Private Pass program beginning on March 12th at 10 a.m. local time through March 14th at 10 p.m. Artist presales are also available now through March 14th at 10 p.m. local time via Bush's website as well as Live's website.
"We are super excited to get back out on the road this year to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Throwing Copper," said Live's Ed Kowalczyk of their second LP. "It feels like the planets are aligning in a really magical way for us lately. Our reunion is now a few years old, and with every concert, we feel like we are breaking into new levels of power and confidence onstage. I can truly say that LIVE is better than ever, and it's all coming together just in time for this special anniversary in our career."
The singer added that Live "jumped at the chance" to tour with Bush. "Having had both our bands' respective breakthrough albums released in 1994, there's a kind of kinship there in our collective experience that I think is really cool and unique," he said. "I had a chance to reconnect with Gavin and Bush at a show we recently played together in Mexico, and I was blown away by their performance. As we watched Bush from the side of the stage, I leaned over to Chad Taylor and yelled in his ear, 'This summer is gonna fuckin' rock!'"

"We are thrilled to be touring this summer with Live," said Bush's Gavin Rossdale. "The wealth and depth of songs from both bands should provide a great night of music. Looking forward to seeing you all this summer … Sixteen Stone propelled us onto the musical landscape. Those songs have found a way into the soundtrack of people's lives and that is the highest compliment available. We've continued to make music that resonates with people."
Editor's picks
Kowalczyk continued with Live until the band's 2009 hiatus but didn't rejoin for the group's 2012 reunion or their eighth LP, 2014's The Turn, which features singer Chris Shinn. Bush originally broke up in 2002 but have released three albums since regrouping in 2010, including their most recent, 2017's Black and White Rainbows.

A Fortunate Few
I've done the Kilimanjaro Lemosho Route with Tusker two times now (2008 and 2011) and I have to admit that I love being on that mountain. In all honesty, I am not sure what it is that attracts me so. On both occasions the experience touched me inside. In 2011 I was able to do the trek with two good friends – which made the trek so wonderful. Crater camp was scrubbed due to severe weather in 2008 but 2011 more than made up for 2008. WOW! Few people are as fortunate as me to have been able to sleep in the crater of Kilimanjaro in such ideal conditions. I felt so close to everything.
Tusker People
It's not just the mountain but also the quality of service delivery that was evident on both climbs from Tusker. In 2008, I had Kombe, Urio, and Frank as the guides and I couldn't believe it when Kombe and Urio were the guides in 2011! As well, the cook, camp co-ordinator, and a number of the porters were on both of my trips. Tusker has such good and professional people that I do want to say that the company should be careful not to tamper with its formula of safety, qualified leaders, guide to client ratio, and excellent accommodations and food on the mountain. For example, in 2011 at Karanga camp Kombe and Urio heard coughing at around midnight and they got out of their sleeping bags and tent to determine whether one of the Tusker clients had the cough. That impressed me. On summit day, one of the clients was struggling and Kombe strapped the client's pack to his. This reinforced my belief that Tusker is a great company because its people really care.
Till Next Time
Three months ago I went back to the Tusker site and was excited to see the Kili 360 route. What a great idea! I would love to do that route and say goodbye to Kilimanjaro by the time I am in position to retire in 2016. While I can't see me being able to do a trip like that until at least 2015, I did want to write and tell you that it is a great follow-up to Lemosho for any "alumnus". Tusker's other treks look very interesting as well but I have to say that Tanzania's under my skin.
Anyway, I hope that I will be able to sign up for Kili 360 without my wife threatening to divorce me 😉 at some point in the future. But if for some reason the unforeseeable happens, I do want to send along a sincere thank you to you and all of the other Tusker folks for making my dream come true – twice!
