Didn't see a thread on this, but Tazawa and Workman were terrific last night. Tazawa comes in in the 7th with the bases juiced and handles the situation nicely with a ground ball to first. Then Workman pitches a clean 8th in the biggest game of maybe his entire big league life. I gotta tell you I was nervous about that but I figured he was a better pick than a struggling Breslow. I know that Uehara was phenomenal again but Taz and Workman also deserve a little love.

Agreed but their pen needs a little tweaking next year
Andrew Miller will help and I'd like Koji to have an equal - actually, I prefer that he go back to setting up.......

[/QUOTE] Andrew Miller will only help if he can consistently take the mound and throw strikes. That's been a big "if" with him. As for Uehara, he posts one of the greatest seasons ever for a closer. Stats-wise he was as good or better than the Sandman at his best. And you wanrt him to go back to setting up? I'm not sure I get that.

Allen Webster is a bullpen arm. No reason he cannot be a 1.5-2.0 WAR arm in the pen, starting in 2014...

[/QUOTE]Miller was throwing K's this year and had an insane K/9 rate
Yes, I don't think Koji can repeat. He was over-exposed. At 88 MPH they will eventually figure him out. I know everyone says they were 100% confident when he took the mound but he scared the heck out of me. Don't get me wrong, I want him back but I don't want another Keith Foulke, sophmore jinx part 2..........

[/QUOTE]I don't know. It's a great question. I would say No to Bailey and MAYBE to Hanrahan. I'd like to see what else is out there via trade as the FA list is weak. But I do not trust Ben to make any trades for relievers so it's a tough one.

Koji is the closer. I was a bit worried how he would be able to handle a defeat. But he never had to. Now that he has brung us a ring, a regular season blown save will be like water on a duck's back.
Miller was getting real good before he had the freak leg injury. He had a 1.21 WHIP and 1.31 ERA with a ton of K's in his last 21 innings. I wished we had him in this years playoffs.
Workman pitched 8.2 innings of shutout baseball in this years playoffs. I loved his calm demeanor. However, do you want to waste him as a middleman in the pen? I think I would start him out again as a starter in AAA. And play it by ear.
I am still very high on Alan Webster. He was great in the minors early, came up and was very bad. Went back to AAA and was awful his first couple of starts, probably messed up a bit in the head. Then got it together again and was very good down the stretch. I start him in AAA just like Workman. My main concern about Webster is his expressions on the mound and that worries me if he becomes a reliever. He needs to improve his mound presence.

In response to andrewmitch's comment:
Closers have this misconceived requirement that they need to be flame throwers. Plenty of successful closers were not flamethrowers, and even more high heat Brain Dead Heavers were complete duds as closers.
Take the guy who never walks anyone. Control was the only weapon in Dennis Eckersley's arsenal, and he managed to not only completely turn his career around as a non-flame throwing closer, he parlayed his success into Cooperstown.
Fernando Rodney averaged 96.5mph on his fastball last season. Uehara averaged 89.2. Which one would you prefer in there with the game on the line?
posted at 10/31/2013 11:24 PM EDT
[/QUOTE]In very much the same way fans overvalue closers, they undervalue middle relief work.
If Workman and Webster are added to the bullpen mix with Uehara, Tazawa, Breslow, and 2 of the 3 from Miller, Morales and Britton, the Sox could have a formidable shut-down bullpen that does not totally rely on three pitchers only in key games.
Really, I am surpised GMs have not figured out the Moneyball advantage of middle relief, and how it is a very cheap way to take a powerful advantage. (Although I think Billy Beane might have figured this out.)
Also, I think Webster lacks the stamina to be a starting option.

[/QUOTE]Kinda hard to figure out a ball that always looks the same coming in but has unbeleiveable late break. He can throw 88 all day and they might not "figure it out".
Either way, hes earned to at least start as the closer next year. Though, Im sure there will be someone that can step in if Koji falls.

[/QUOTE]I would move all the often injured pitchers before moving Breslow. Meaning Miller, Bailey among others are all gone!!
But Breslow have been pitching well most part of the year. That is all matter. Once Britton get better, once Workman get better, etc, Breslow could be the last man in the bulpen that Farrell could use in the post season.
Boston just need a good experience healthy bullpen pitchings!!! Breslow fits into that profile!!

Tax hikes for the rich? Blame George W. BushDecember 21, 2012: 5:00 AM ET
It seemed like a great idea at the time: sweeping tax cuts that would never go away because of an endless economic boom. The day of reckoning has come.
FORTUNE -- What seems brilliant today can come back to bite you in the butt tomorrow when the world changes. That's my major takeaway from the fiscal cliff soap opera.
It's a lesson that Republican tax-cutting zealots are now learning, painfully, as their crusade to minimize taxes for the ultrawealthy teeters on the brink of failure. As we'll see, this lesson applies to both parties: What's happening to the tax-cut zealots today could happen down the road to the Democratic zealots who insist that Social Security doesn't need to be fixed.
Taxes first. The reason we've got a fiscal cliff is that back in the early aughts, when people like Alan Greenspan were worried that federal budget surpluses would become excessive (you can snicker now), President George W. Bush came up with a seemingly brilliant strategy to force through enormous tax cuts. Rather than compromise with Senate Democrats to get substantial permanent cuts, the Bushies used a legislative process called "reconciliation" to push through mega-cuts with the narrow Senate majority they held, avoiding the need for 60 votes to overturn a filibuster (had the forces of fiscal sanity decided to mount one).
MORE: Why Republicans need to help Obama
Because of the way reconciliation works, the 2001 Bush cuts had to expire in 10 years (eight years for the huge 2003 cut in rates on investment income). But hey. At some point, the zealots figured, they'd get the votes to make the cuts permanent. And even if they didn't, by the end of 2010 no one would dare let the cuts lapse. We would be in an economic boom, thanks to lower taxes. Life would be grand, especially for the mega-upper-classes, with no estate tax and the lowest taxes in the modern era on investment income.
Well, that didn't quite work out, did it? The eight Bush years were an economic and fiscal sinkhole, and the first two Barack Obama years weren't exactly robust. When the Bush cuts expired at the end of 2010, Republicans bought a two-year extension by agreeing to support extended unemployment benefits, and payroll tax cuts. But now the day of reckoning has come.
The biggest cuts for the biggest incomes seem certain to disappear. What's more, rates for those folks are likely to be higher than they would have been if deals had been made in 2001 and 2003.
MORE: How Tim Geithner can dodge the next debt crisis
We'd have no cliff drama at all had Bush done a truly bipartisan tax cut with the likes of Sen. Kent Conrad (D-N.D.), a fiscal conservative who's one of my favorite politicians. Make that former politician -- he's leaving the Senate soon.
Says Conrad, who opposed the Bush cuts' excesses: "They bet the farm, and we all lost. It's coming back on them, and it's coming back on the country." How does he feel about having been proved right? "I take no joy in it at all," he said. See why I like him?
I now fear that Democrats, currently feeling as empowered as the Bushies felt a dozen years ago, will make the same mistake with Social Security that the Bushies made with taxes.
Just as Bushies used ridiculous numbers to justify tax cuts, the official Democratic position uses ridiculous math to claim that Social Security doesn't need fixing. The logic, such as it is: Social Security isn't a problem because it shows a federal budget surplus. (I don't know if there's a different, unofficial position. I sure hope so.)
MORE: Medicaid - the next entitlement crisis
But our country's real fiscal problem isn't the federal budget deficit. It's the huge increase in debt our country is incurring to pay our bills. In the fiscal year ended Sept. 30, the Treasury had to borrow $160 billion (including $112 billion for the payroll tax holiday) to cover Social Security's bills, even though the program showed a $65 billion budget surplus. (I explain the math below.)
Right now, Democrats are riding high. But if they don't work out relatively modest, bipartisan cuts of future Social Security benefits now, in a decade or two the political climate may have changed, Social Security's problems will be worse, and cuts will be bigger and nastier than if they're made now.
Repeat after me: What goes around, comes around. Always has, and always will.

The paper looked at how many delicious steamed sliders the minimum wage has been able to purchase over time. The point is that as it notes, in 1981, the $3.35 minimum could buy a whole dozen. Today, at $7.25, it could purchase just 10.

Otherwise known as YUM. This is when all of that hard work* pays off. In tomatoes, which to New Yorkers in the summer are like squishy red cash**. And I get to go to my bedroom window, throw up the sash and just pick them. So cool. Time for eating tomatoes fresh off the vine or in one of thousands of delicious tomato based recipes. I'll include my favorite below – In fact this is what I had for lunch today, and yesterday, and the day before that.
3 Tomatoes
2 pinches NaCl (kosher/fleur de sel)
serves 1, prep time: 2 minutes
Pick 3 tomatoes. Core and slice tomatoes, then arrange flat on plate. Sprinkle tomatoes with salt. Eat with your fingers while standing over the sink. Gloat about fabulous tomatoes.
Wonder if Gwyneth would post that one on Goop? Still, it's a killer recipe and its guaranteed not to heat up your kitchen. Plus, it's very rich in lycopene and all kinds of other good stuff.
Anyway, lets look at some more tomatoes.
These are the tomatoes that used to be on the vines at the beginning of the post. The littlest ones are Black Plums from that plant I bought at the farmer's market in May. They're good but with a little less sweetness than the others, although they hold up to cooking very well indeed, and may be better in a sauce – none of them have made it that far yet, though. The others a mix of patio tomatoes and early girls, and to be honest I cannot tell them apart at all, either by eating or by looking. I mean the plants look really different, but the tomatoes? Not exactly full of distinguishing characteristics. Red, roundish, about 2.5 inches in diameter, little green hat. I'm just saying that it would be hard to pick one out of a line-up. But delicious just the same. Bon Appétit! (apparently channeling Julia Child today. worrisome.)
* Ha! Okay, what I really mean is patience. I mean, except for watering every day and fertilizing every other week, this took maybe 1 day to do. Oh, except for that time I had to go to New Jersey to buy 25 lbs of manure. People in your building do look at you a bit differently after that elevator ride. Good times…
**This is so untrue that I fear charges of criminal insanity. But also, some tomatoes are $6/lb at the farmer's market. So who's crazy now?

If you spend long enough at the top of a tag you're likely to get the bronze, silver and gold badges for that tag anyway... do we really want any more than that?

Welcome to Hooked Up, the Gaming Nexus series that puts the spotlight on gaming related products that impact the Video Game experience. This week we take a look at
Performance Designed Products (PDP) Kinect Sensor Wall Mount
What is it?
The PDP Kinect Sensor Wall Mount is an officially licensed Microsoft accessory that allows you to quickly and easily mount your Kinect sensor bar to any wall. It comes with a metal wall-bracket, platform, base and hardware in black finish to mirror the Kinect sensor bar.
Since the Kinect arrived in my household for Christmas 2010, we have had it connected to the 360 in the office for a variety of reasons. Unfortunately, it was sharing a desk top at about three feet high with a million other items. This was causing us to stand farther from the Kinect camera than we wanted to within the room and causing problems picking up more than one player. Having seen the PDP Kinect Sensor Mount in my local Best Buy, I decided to spring for it to try and get the Kinect sensor mounted on the wall beneath my LCD TV.
As soon as I pulled the mount from the box, I knew I made the right choice, as it is about a simple design as you could come up with. A bracket mounts to the wall, a platform slides onto it and then the Kinect sensor bar connects to a base that slides into the platform. It took me about 15 minutes to install (with the proper equipment and my own dry wall anchors and screws) and the location difference was immediately noticeable, as I gained 11 inches in height and 11 inches in depth. This allowed the camera to give us more space in the room, which is only about 12 feet across.
The big test was when I fired up my first Kinect title after installation (Carnival Games: Monkey See Monkey Do) and see how the new wall-mount location impacted the playing area as sensed by the Kinect. After playing my way through several of the mini-games with greater success than where it was mounted before, I switched to Kinect Sports. This title requires lots of room, and I found that the shortened distance needed for playing came in handy, as I set all kinds of new personal bests in events I played previously. Overall, I was very pleased with the PDP Kinect Sensor Wall Mount and how it improved my gaming experience.
Simple Design
Easy to install
Base includes standard threaded mount for camera tripods
Included hardware (screws) is cheap and screws strip easily
Gaming Impact
Anyone that has added a Kinect to their Xbox 360 has probably struggled to find the perfect place to set or mount the sensor bar. I learned this early on at my local Best Buy where they had their sensor sitting on a TV stand in front of the display at height of about two and a half feet and a "pen" that only allowed you to go back about seven feet from the TV. It turns out that this low placement causes you to have to back up farther, and many times the camera cannot get your feet, torso and head all in the same frame unless you hit the 10 foot level in depth. As I mentioned above, we have had the sensor bar at about 3' off the floor and 7'5" in depth in the office. What I was finding is the same thing I saw at Best Buy, where the Kinect sensor had trouble keeping players in the frame and wanted us to keep moving back. The new placement on the wall eliminated many of the issues, as it was able to "see" us cleaner from head to toe and shortened up the playing area as needed by the Kinect. The gaming impact was immediate for me, as more space allowed us more room to play with nothing restricting our range of motion. As I mentioned previously, I played through several titles after moving the sensor bar and was getting much better results than in the initial placement.
The Skinny
The PDP Kinect Sensor Wall Mount is an excellent add-on to your Kinect system if you have the ability and the need to wall-mount your Kinect sensor. It provides a stable mounting platform and allows you to get the sensor bar to the height and depth that best fits your gaming area. It also allows the sensor to have a better "view" of the playing area, which in turn allows for those 14 points of reference to be picked up easier. For the price ($14.99) and amount of time needed to mount it (about 15 minutes) this is one of the better accessories that has been made for the Xbox 360.
Miscellaneous Items of Note
-The PDP Kinect Sensor Wall Mount is the official Microsoft Kinect Wall Mount
-Installation was quick and easy
-Although the included screws are not good quality, the Dry-Wall anchors are fine
-Deep channels on the back of the mount allow you to use your own drywall anchors and screws
Testing Methodology
The PDP Kinect Sensor Wall Mount was tested at a height of 4' 2" and a distance of 8'6" after mounting and connected to an Xbox 360 Pro. Mounting was performed using third-party 30lb drywall anchors with matching screws and not the included hardware.
Where to Find/Buy
The PDP Kinect Sensor Wall Mount can be purchased for $14.99 directly from
, the
Microsoft Store
Radio Shack

Fresno >Food & Dining > The Old Spaghetti Factory
1610 East Shaw Avenue, Fresno, CA | Directions 9371036.809106 -119.758253
Neighborhoods: Hoover
Kitschy Italian restaurant churns out heaping plates of pasta that won't break the bank. – In Short
Whimsical antiques and decorative items--velvet armchairs, vintage-looking fringed lamps and booths made from iron bedsteads--fill the dining room. The OSF Classics menu offers spaghetti with a choice of mushroom sauce, rich meat sauce, browned butter and feta-like mizithra cheese sauce, and more. Other popular favorites are the baked lasagna--layers of noodles, tomato sauce and four kinds of cheese--and the fettuccine Alfredo. Meals include a green salad, fresh-baked bread and ice cream.
Great place to bring family and large group – The food was very cheap and we got bread, salad, drink and ice cream, all for one price. man i loved the spumion ice cream...also the pesto salad dressing is to die for but we can forget the Cheese. That the best part about the old spaghetti factory.if you have been there you should check it out. i was there with a group of 85 people and was that fun.
Good value – Not super high end at all, but with the nicer decor you'll feel pretty good about what you are getting. Great specials for dinner when they have them and a nice bar selection to boot! They can also accomodate large crowds and seatings too, which is always nice.
I absolutly think that the Old Spaghetti Factory is one of the best kept secrets around. The settings are great, the food, is great and the service is great. – The first time that I went to the Old Spaghetti Factory, was back in 1973, in Denver, Co. It is my all time favorite places to eat spaghetti..Their menu is great with lots of selections, and great prices..Not many places that you can sit down to a great meal for less than $10. each. You get everything for that price too..You get salad, fresh baked bread, an entree'and your drink..I am getting hungry just thinking about it..My favorite item is The Potpori..It is four different sauces..You get clam sauce, mushroom, meat, and Mizithra cheese and Brown butter...Yummmmm....And it is a great place to meet with a group..Love it...
Old is right... – Went to the factory on a Saturday night and found it to be BORING. The service was great, probably because we were one of 5 tables there. The food was so bland! The bread was good, but other than that it was just "blah". We were the only ones there under the age of 65 and the dining room was silent, no music. It was incredibly cheap for salad, meal, ice cream and drink, but I do not think I will ever go back.
Solid Italian chain – The Old Spaghetti chain is well known for decent pasta in huge portions, including pre-meal bread and coloring kits and post-meal desserts, and the same is true of the Fresno branch. The restaurant is big w/ a huge train-car in the center where they like to put kids. This place is definitely kid friendly, will serve large families, and might even pass for a decent date for a high school/college kid. The food and service are both solid. Decor is fun for kids.

Allardyce backs Carroll to break duck
West Ham boss Sam Allardyce feels Andy Carroll is targeted for extra attention from opposing defenders as he searches for his first goal for the club.
The £35million striker, currently on loan from Liverpool, again failed to find the back of the net as the Hammers were held to a 1-1 draw by Stoke at Upton Park.
Jonathan Walters opened the scoring for the visitors with a smart finish following a well-worked corner routine and Allardyce needed defender Joey O'Brien to hit only his second goal for the club to rescue a point.
Allardyce believes Carroll's reputation means he will always be highlighted as the main threat by opposing teams.
"He is going to attract attention by the fact he is very good at his hold-up play and [because of] his heading ability, and people are going to need to pay particular attention to him," he said.
"He is going to attract one or two defenders around him and that will create spaces elsewhere.
"Andy is not to be frustrated by the fact that he is not scoring at the moment and in fact today [Monday] he didn't get much of a chance to score.
"But I think sooner or later, if we keep concentrating on him making runs into the box and the service we give, he will eventually score."
Carroll looked visibly irritated when Allardyce replaced him with Carlton Cole late in the second half, but the former Blackburn boss felt his side needed fresh impetus after Carroll had put in a busy shift as the lone forward.
"He wants to score a goal and he wants me to leave him on for 90 minutes but at the end of the day he put that much effort in, there are a lot of fresh players on the bench," he said.
"There is Carlton Cole, Matt Taylor and Guy Demel who came on and continued to give us that much more energy to find a winner.
"Fresh players with fresh legs can come on and try and push the opposition and try to score a goal. He will be disappointed, I know, but in the end you make the subs for the benefit of everybody to try and win the game."
West Ham missed out on the chance to move up to fifth in the table following the draw and Allardyce felt his side did enough to win the game after the break.
"In the end we were disappointed we didn't win it, given our second-half performance," he said.
"Stoke were slightly better than us in the first half and we had to recover from what was an extremely good goal.
"Having to come from 1-0 down in any game in the Premier League is difficult.
"When you put that much pressure on the opposition second half you have got to try and a be a bit more ruthless in front of goal, a little bit more quality and composure needed and we probably would have won it, but at the end of the day it is another point."
West Ham captain Kevin Nolan also thought his side were unlucky not to claim all three points .
"We were unlucky in the end and we had enough chances," Nolan told Sky Sports 1.
"It is a great result after going 1-0 down and these lads they make it tough for you, they played well tonight [Monday]. I thought we did, we were unlucky, we were abit gutted because we wanted to get the win to go to fifth."
It was O'Brien's first Premier League goal and Nolan was keen to praise the full-back who joined from Bolton two years ago.
"He had a tough two years out with a bad knee injury," the captain said.
"The way he has come back in the last two years has beem excellent.
"Last year he was fantastic and this year he has been even better, he is getting stronger and stronger.
"All the lads have a great camaraderie we were delighted for him. They are a tough nut to crack."
Stoke manager Tony Pulis revealed his side had been working over the past few days on the corner that unlocked the West Ham defence with just 13 minutes on the clock.
"We have worked on it for the past three days, we tried it five or six times and Jonathan Walters has never scored from it so I'm glad he saved it for today [Monday]."
He added: "I spend a lot of time watching videos and watching teams and I felt if we could do this it would come off. You work on it millions and millions of times.
"All of my career I have always looked for little angles and little areas that we could exploit from set-plays and it is lovely when it comes off."
Pulis has not seen his side win away in the league since a 2-1 victory over Blackburn on January 2 but was pleased with his players' application.
"First half I thought we played well and created the better opportunities and really we needed that second goal. The worst thing that happened to us was half-time. That took the momentum away from us," he said.
"We started very sloppy in the second half, we invited West Ham onto us and they scored a goal and from that point onwards we need to show a lot of resilience and determination as a group not to concede a second."

The NSW pricing regulator IPART has called on Canberra to abandon its renewable energy target now that a price has been put on carbon.
It has also thrown its weight behind the need to reduce electricity reliability standards to stem spiralling power prices.
The Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal also backed the roll-out of so-called smart meters, although not for their introduction to be mandated as in Victoria, where the cost of the introduction has risen fourfold to $2.3 billion.
In a submission to a federal government inquiry into power prices, IPART highlighted the role of high reliability standards in forcing prices higher in NSW. This should be reduced by adopting the methodology used in Victoria, it said.
The main reason for rising prices in NSW has been a doubling in real terms in transmission costs, which now make up about $654 of a typical household's annual electricity bill.
However, the combined cost of the carbon price, the renewable energy scheme, the climate change fund and the energy savings scheme adds a further $316 to the bill.
Of this, the carbon price accounts for about 9 per cent, or $167, of a bill, with the other "green" schemes adding a further $102 a year, which is a near fourfold rise from $26 a year in 2007-08.
"We are concerned that these green schemes may be adding unnecessary costs to energy bills now there is a carbon price, and may be creating investment-distorting complexities in energy markets," IPART noted in its call for the renewable energy target to be axed.
By 2020, for example, the cost of the scheme might exceed the carbon price, it said.
"Given that the [renewable energy target] is not complementary with a carbon pricing mechanism, we recommend that the Commonwealth government close the [renewable energy target]."
Along with declining productivity in the power sector, IPART pointed to a poor regulatory framework for putting upward pressure on prices. New investment should be limited to "efficient" items only, it said.
As well, IPART called for the use of more time-of-use, or smart, meters, which allow electricity companies to charge more varied tariffs, such as boosting charges at peak demand times and cutting tariffs at off-peak times. This encourages a reduction in peak-time use, helping to curb unnecessary investment.

April 22, 2014
While it has been quite some time since he was taken off the road as an active in ring performer, Alex Riley, who has transitioned to a broadcasting career with WWE since then, is contemplating a return to the ring. There are rumors that it might actually take place in WWE, too. One of the ideas being tossed around backstage is for him to replace Antonio Cesaro in the Real Americans stable with Zeb Colter and Jack Swagger.

While a lot of people were under the assumption that his career as a professional wrestler was over after he suffered a serious neck injury, Jesse Sorensen has shown that there is life after TNA. He has been wrestling on a pretty frequent basis on the independent wrestling circuit. Sorensen is even booked for a big show next month that also features Matt Hardy, Chris Masters, Carlito and John Morrison.

"Where did the info come from that ESPN was interested in Renee Young? Not saying it's true or not but it certainly made the rounds quickly within the IWC. Renee is a talented, young woman, without question, and I wish her the best no matter what she decides to do long term with her career. Renee has skills, a great look and isn't a high maintenance talent but is easy to produce." - Jim Ross on rumors about ESPN being interested in WWE interviewer Renee Young

While she continues to fulfill her weekly duties as the announcer for WWE, Lilian Garcia is still finding time in her busy schedule to focus on her singing career. She noted on Twitter that she is back in Los Angeles this week and shooting a new music video. She formed a new band a couple of months back, and they have been performing frequently in Las Vegas.

"He was an intense guy, and he was a perfectionist. His career was based on looking as good as possible. That meant eating as good as possible, training as hard as possible, avoiding anything that a normal human being might reach out to in their everyday culinary affairs." - Mick Foley on the diet that Ultimate Warrior had
April 17, 2014
Throughout the past several months, Chavo Guerrero has been taking in quite a few business meetings, in order to set up his career outside of professional wrestling. It looks like one of those ventures has come to fruition, as Guerrero is now doing a talk show for GeekNation.com, called Where Men Come To Be Men. Rampage Jackson and John Morrison recently filmed an episode with him.
April 16, 2014
"I'm as grateful to Sting as anybody in the wrestling business for the benefit he has had in my career. Steve is a great guy and very very smart and just a model citizen as far as the way he conducts himself and how much respect he commands. There are some people who seem to be obsessed with respect and seem to be obsessed with guys not showing them enough respect but Sting is a guy who has never had to pull any stunts, never had to bully anyone, never had to throw his weight around or pull rank; he commands respect. The same could be said about Kurt Angle." - Brutus Magnus discusses how Sting is backstage
April 15, 2014
"Mourning the loss of Jim Hellwig. I don't believe anyone has ever published this picture before today. The snapshot was taken two days before Thanksgiving in 1985, as we prepared to leave my house in Newhall, California and embark on a career in wrestling. Jim always challenged me to strive at being the best, and I'll forever be grateful for the encouragement and motivation he provided. I was looking forward to catching up with him, and I'm saddened we didn't have that opportunity before he passed. My heart goes out to his wife Dana and their two daughters, and they will remain in my prayers." - Sting speaks about the death of the Ultimate Warrior
April 10, 2014
With his career winding down and his age going up, Mark Henry has decided that he needs to drop some weight, so that he can fully enjoy his last couple of years as an in ring performer for WWE. The former world heavyweight champion revealed that he now weighs less than 400 pounds, a limit which he has not seen in quite a few years.
April 2, 2014
Following in the footsteps of several other wrestlers who have done the same in the past, Billy Kidman has released a book. However, there are talks that the former WCW star is only releasing it in Europe. There are also those that state that the book is rather short, even though it is supposed to encompass his entire career in professional wrestling.
March 22, 2014
Back when he was a star for WWE during the late 1980s, Randy Savage made a discovery that would have a bit of an impact on the professional wrestling industry. The former world heavyweight champion was the one that discovered Sid Vicious, whom he convinced to give the industry a try. Savage sent Vicious to train with Tojo Yamamoto to start his career.
March 22, 2014
Since he was the only professional wrestler in the history of the industry to have been trained by Ric Flair, Stan Lane paid homage to mentor very early on in his career. At one point in time, he used the name Stan Flair. He also went by Nature Boy Stan Lane, while making a name for himself in Florida. He became Sweet Stan Lane while teaming with Bobby Eaton in the Midnight Express.
March 21, 2014
"Yeah, a lot of people tweeted it towards me. I think he is entitled to his opinion. You can't fault people for having an opinion. Luckily for me, I've never been put in a position to hire and fire people, and he was in that position and he can't hire everybody. I'm one of the people that Jim Cornette didn't want. Obviously the people that he didn't want aren't going to be happy about it. That's life. I could hold a grudge, but I don't. I understand that you have to hire and you have to fire and the ones that you fire aren't going to be happy. It's about going on and moving on. Luckily, I've done way bigger and better things since leaving Ring of Honor. Maybe it was a mistake by them for letting me go, and maybe it wasn't if they're happy with the direction that they've gone. I don't hold any grudge against Jim. I'm almost kind of thankful that I was able to go on to better places in my career." - Colt Cabana addresses the backstage heat he has with Jim Cornette
March 21, 2014
Back when he was with the NWA, Mike Rotunda had an amateur wrestler gimmick when he teamed with Rick Steiner. It was actually based on his real life athletic career in college. Rotunda really did wrestle at Syracuse University. He was never an All American, though.
March 21, 2014
Despite being one of the best performers in the history of professional wrestling, Ric Flair has opted against training others in the art of the game. In fact, the former NWA champion has only formally trained one person in his career. That man is Stan Lane, who formed the legendary Midnight Express tag team with Bobby Eaton during the 1980s.
March 20, 2014
Since he is no longer on the road for WWE every single week, CM Punk has found himself with some free time. The former world heavyweight champion was recently spotted in the studios, recording guest vocals for a band called Madball. The belief is that this is just a favor to his friends, as opposed to Punk seriously pursuing a career in music.
March 20, 2014
In the eyes of the fans, WWE is definitely a step up from TNA. However, that is not the case when it comes to the performers themselves. During a podcast interview with Chris Jericho, Rob Van Dam revealed that several of the guys backstage in TNA did not view WWE as a wise career move for themselves, as a lot of performers have failed to make progress after signing with Vince McMahon.
March 18, 2014
"You know what's so cool wrestling for them now? When you're there as a full-time guy and you're wrestling four nights a week, you kind of take it for granted. Everything is going 100 miles an hour. Whereas now, like when I went back for 'Old School' Raw, you go this could be the last time. And you kind of appreciate it more. You take it all in. And then same thing for NXT. This could be the last time I'm in a WWE ring. Hopefully it's not and chances are it's not going to be because I'm still in decent shape and relatively young. I'm sure there'll be more coming down the road but you say that to yourself and appreciate it." - Scotty 2 Hotty talks about WWE return
March 22, 2014
There are talks backstage that Heath Slater has grown really frustrated with his role in WWE. He has only had one televised win since November of 2013. He has also been utilized just once on Monday Night Raw this year, teaming with Jinder Mahal and Drew McIntyre in a losing effort to guest stars Rikishi, Brian Christopher and Scotty 2 Hotty.
March 4, 2014
Over the last two weeks, Scotty 2 Hotty has been seen quite often with the developmental stars of WWE NXT, and it has now been revealed that he was officially under a short term contract as a trainer. He is now done with his stint, but there is no word yet on whether or not he will be brought on board full time as a trainer for WWE.
February 16, 2014
Scotty 2 Hotty spent some town down in WWE NXT this weekend, where the veteran performer made an appearance and helped to train some of the developmental wrestlers at the WWE Performance Center. He also posed for this picture with Bayley and posted it on Twitter.
February 9, 2014
One of the individuals that WWE was most impressed with during the Old School Raw episode was Scotty 2 Hotty. He stayed in really good physical condition and was still able to work a very solid match. Scotty even nailed his trademark Worm move well.
January 9, 2014
Former WWE stars Eugene and Scotty 2 Hotty were both in attendance at the stand up comedy show by Mick Foley last night in Orlando.

philosophy Customer ReviewsLove Kiss Me by Philosophy - 4/20/2014 6:15:33 PM Great investment. My son suffered from dry chapped lips and this product has been a lifesaver. It's gentle and if applied at bedtime and morning it has limited his dry and chapped lips completely. I use it myself sporadically. Love it.Not the same as the regular Purity cleanser - 4/20/2014 7:59:08 AM I ordered these wipes to take on vacation as I thought they would be easier than taking my bottle of regular Purity cleanser which I adore. The wipes had the same name so I assumed they would be of the same quality and cleansing power - they were not. I was very disappointed in them and they did not seem to clean my face anywhere close to how the regular Purity cleanser does. With the same name I expected the same results. I would only recommend these wipes to someone with very dry skin who doesn't want a squeaky clean feel.OK - 4/18/2014 12:28:19 PM cleared some whiteheads. did nothing about blackheads. after using, my acne was a bit red. left my skin dry. will not be purchasing again. i bought the whole kit from this line and the products are OK... the overnight pads are fine, the moisturizer smells awful and makes my skin oily, and the spot treatment stings...- 4/10/2014 1:53:02 PM I love Philosophy product line and I have used it for years. The face wash is very gentle and cleans my skin very well. This is the fist time I have tried the serum and so far, I like it!LOVE IT!!!!!! - 3/26/2014 10:08:07 AM This has everything you need for great radiant skin. I've tried everything and then some but I'm always prone to dry skin, the moisturizer is perfect and I really noticed a difference using the serum. It's made my skin glow and just enough said, have been refilling this product 3x and have found no reason to change my beauty regiment!Luxurious texture - 3/22/2014 8:27:24 AM I'm not a lotion/creme fan, but my skin has really taken a beating this winter. Things I don't like about lotions are the smell and being sticky or greasy. The smell of this creme is great--very light. And the texture is almost luxurious--it feels like a really high end product. And most of all my skin is happy!Best Make-Up--Ever!! - 3/22/2014 8:20:21 AM This is my favorite product. The coverage is amazing, and it feels light on my face. The sponge applicator is really great too as you don't have loose powder flying around.Best Purchase Ever - 3/20/2014 6:21:16 PM Great broduct, realy works to my acne, smooth my skin and bring back the radiance. Will always come back.- 3/16/2014 7:36:35 AM I have noticed a difference in the texture of my skin. It appears softer and less flaky.Very easy to use but does not smell good - 3/12/2014 4:24:29 AM I love this set. It totally worth every penny you spent. The cleanser is very gentle and useful, and the hope moisturizer is just what I need. My skin gets softer after a month's usage. There is only one thing I am not happy with: the smell.

The Mammovan, run by non-profit Nevada Health Centers, was parked in front of John Ascuaga's Nugget on Monday and will be in Reno on Wednesday and back in Sparks on Thursday. Inside, veteran radiology technologist Vicki Cicotti was waiting to perform screenings on women age 40 and older who came to have the recommended procedure to check for cancer.
"There have been several women diagnosed with breast cancer because of the services we're able to give," said Cicotti, who has been in radiology for 30 years. "They've been able to obtain a mammogram they probably would not have done if they had to pay for it."
The services provided on the Mammovan come at no cost to patients who are at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty line, said Blanca Ayala, community outreach coordinator for Nevada Health Centers, based in Carson City. Above that percent, patients pay $150 or can use their insurance. Established with the help of former Nevada first lady Dema Guinn in 2000, the Mammovan travels all around the state providing the screening service to women and men.
"It was set up primarily so we could reach rural areas in Nevada and provide mammogram services for the non-insured and under-insured," Cicotti said.
Another advantage of the Mammovan is that it can visit large businesses, such as casinos, and give their female employees a convenient place to get the screening without taking large chunks of time out of their work day. Cicotti said the unit often visits Caesar's facilities in Tahoe and Las Vegas, in addition to the Nugget in Sparks. The main focus, however, is rural areas in the far reaches of the state.
Patients can either make an appointment or walk in and have the exam done in about 30 minutes. Results take seven to 10 days as they must be read by a technician in Las Vegas, Cicotti said.
The mobile unit has served a total of 33,000 women, Ayala said, for an average of 3,500 a year. It has resulted in 120 cancer diagnoses, with the most coming in 2010 with 18. About 60 to 70 percent of the patients are uninsured and minority populations are targeted since they are the most at-risk for advanced cancer because of language barriers, lack of access to health care and other factors, Ayala said.
The Mammovan will be at the Safeway grocery store at 5150 Mae Anne Ave. in Reno on Wednesday and at the Smith's Food & Drug Store at 1255 Baring Blvd. in Sparks on Thursday. Hours are 7:45 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. Walk-ins are welcome but appointments are recommended by calling 877-581-6266. Patients must be 40 years of age or older (younger only with a doctor's referral).

Houston >Food & Dining > Tan Tan Fast Food
6816 Ranchester Drive, Houston, TX | Directions 7703629.705885 -95.545277
Sun - Fri: 10AM - Midnight, Sat: 10AM - 3AM
Neighborhoods: Westside, Sharpstown
With an extensive menu, quick service, and late night hours on weekends (they open 'til 3am Fri/Sat), Tan Tan is a great after-hours hotspot for people watching & down-home Chinese grub. Think chow fun, wonton noodle, hot pot & their famous pan fried rice cake.
Bad! Cutting conner. – I should give a minus point!
Tan Tan "was" one of favor for the last few years. (Cheap, fast and faily good food) but "something is wrong here!"
On Dec-30th-2011 our family went to Tan Tan for diner. We ordered Wonton soup and Rice cake (banh bot chien) the foods came out very fast (less than few minutes after ordered).
Something was wrong here!. Wonton soup was pre-cooked they are soaked , the Wonton skins fell apart. and the broth was not even hot.. Rice cake "Banh Bot Chien" came out dry and tasted like one day old or microwave oven TV diner!..
Citysearch Editorial Review – This Chinatown diner has been a Houston favorite ever since it started serving families, cops and the post-club crowd from morning to late night in 1986. The exhaustive menu has over 400 items and while they're all worth a shot, almost every table orders the exceptional House Special Rice Cake to start. Follow that up with the equally popular hot pot or a noodle dish (we like the Cantonese style noodle soup). The dining room doesn't lack for space but between the mirrored walls and fake palm trees housing little stuffed monkeys, it's quite a sight at 3am. While Tan Tan is cheap and quick, this is definitely fast food of a higher order.
Tastey – Tan Tan is the place to go anytime of the day. The food is consistently tastey and reasonably priced. We usually get the flat noodle wonton soup, and the hu tieu xao do bien ap chao... it can get crowded on the weekends especially at night... but their food never disappoints! This place is a must go for vietnamese/chinese food.
Good for late night munchies – Great for late night cravings for Asian food. Reasonably priced and filling. I typically get beef flat noodles or hot pot. Yummm
Staff can be inattentive on busy nights.
Fabulous – I took my family here, based upon reviews and having picked up a menu from the restaurant on the way home one day. We went on a Saturday night and had a wonderful sampling, by trying the whole roasted duck, and two of the pan fried noodle dishes. Tan Tan has a very extensive asianchinese menu with a whole plethora of specials that are guaranteed to please any palate. My crispy noodles with three flavor seafood (scallops, shrimp, squid) was incredibly delicious and fresh. My fiancee's crispy noodles with beef and chinese brocolli was equally delectable and creative.
Tan Tan is a neighborhood establishment with formica tables bolted to the floor, complete with hidden recessed gas hot burners in the middle of the table. These are used to serve one of many varieties of chinese "hot pots", which can be customed tailored for any palate; some include seafood, while others are geared towards vegetarian or beef connosieurs. Top this off with really great, extended hours (open 'till 3 a.m. on Saturday evenings), and you have a winning combination for true asian cuisine.
HORRIBLE HORRIBLE SERVICE – I'll get straight to the point...
I didnt even get a chance to sit down when the server came up to us and asked us if we are ready to order. I said no not yet. Less than a minute later he comes back " Are you ready to order" i said no and that we're ready to order drinks. so right when i said two ice teas, he ask us again, "Are you ready to order?"I stared at him in disbelief. I skimmed through the menu and just started ordering away. About five minutes later, my friends soup came out. We haven't even received our drinks yet let alone appetizers!!!!!!! I had no refills on my ice tea, i had to get up and get my own hot sauce, I had to go to their waiter station to get to go boxes.
What happen to this place??
Good and fast – I have been eating lunch here for years. I always found it good and inexpensive. I stick with the noodle bowls and have not been disappointed. This place is really like their sign says - a fast food noodle place so I don't expect atmosphere or ambiance. Waiters are competent, but not overly friendly. So what? If you've ever eaten in a NYC Chinatown restaurant, these waiters in comparison are gushing with personality. This is not fine dining, you come here for good, fast, friendly, and noisy Chinese/Viet food.
What a rip off!! – This place is a real ripoff!! They intentionally give the wrong serving size so that they can force you to pay for it. This place plays dirty tricks on their customers. I was really disappointed in their service and business practices. The waiters and waitresses are rude and unprofessional. What your wallets and pay attention to the menu prices for a good chance that they'll bring you the wrong dish. If there practices are this dirty then who knows how clean the kitchen is!!!
do you know how many times I've been to Tan Tan? – I have been here so many times after the club. Always good food, it seems to get cold kind of quick some times, mmmm rice cakes i beleive its called is great, the egg rolls are not that good, just about every plate is good and the prices great! service pretty good and fast and friendly!
Great Oriental Food, Great Prices & Very Fast Service – You sit down, pick your food & in maybe ten to fifteen minutes, your meal is ready. Plenty of food choices. I have been to Chinatown in New York, San Francisco & Ontario. The food at Tan Tan is comparable if not better than the food served at other Chinatown restaurants. We always like the Hotpot, especially in winter. Try the Fish Maw soup, Vietnamese Egg Rolls and Pan Fried Noodles. The peking duck tastes authentic. Even though they have plenty of parking spaces, it can be hard to find one, because a lot of people like to eat here. You can't beat the price.

Gawzong "Emily" Vang
Student Spotlight, December 2012
Reflecting on her past, Sophomore Emily Vang says that working with her mentor during high school drove her to have a heart for the community and inspired her to get involved. Emily was able to volunteer over 200 hours in high school and when she came to Sac State, she continued that passion with Harvest Sacramento and Meals on Wheels by ACC through Alternative Break 2012. She has also volunteered at least 50 hours with the Boys and Girls Club.
As Community Engagement Center's newest Student Assistant, Emily possesses a unique perspective on combining work, school, and volunteering. "Being in the field of Social Work, I felt that Community Engagement Center would be a way to work with the community and Sac State and experience what it is like to work in a community/volunteer based environment. Also, working here at Community Engagement Center, I get to see the hard work they put in to execute their volunteer and civic education events." As our Office Assistant, Emily gets to work closely with Community Partners, students, staff, and faculty of the university, which is an experience that not a lot of students get to have.
Born into a large family (she's the eighth of twelve siblings) to parents who are farmers, Emily was drawn to her Social Work major because she's used to helping others, often taking care of younger siblings while her parents were working outside the home. As a Service Learning student enrolled in Social Work 95, Emily is better assured that she is taking the right career path. She sees the hands-on activities, the engaged and inclusive environment, and the opportunities to hear different opinions she would otherwise not consider as benefits to her educational journey. She has also had the advantage of gaining a better understanding of Service Learning now that she has seen all of the hard work that goes into it behind the scenes at Community Engagement Center.
Emily hopes that she can share her experiences of being a Sac State student, employee, and volunteer in the community one day. It is important for her to be involved because she feels that when people have the time to help others, they should. "You will never have the time, so it's up to you to make it. Whether I am at work, school, or at the store, there is always a way to help someone." Since she began working at Community Engagement Center, her views have been enhanced. Emily would like to continue to volunteer and be engaged in the community when she graduates in 2015.
Contributed by M. Hardy
Each year, more than two thousand Sacramento State students, faculty, staff, and alumni participate in programs and projects sponsored by Community Engagement Center. Programs such as Alternative Break, Sac State Serves, and Service Learning fulfill our mission to facilitate learning and engagement by linking campus and community for mutual benefit. Through Spotlight, Community Engagement Center will highlight outstanding individuals and programs advancing community engagement in the Sacramento region.

I'm loving my Macbook Pro, and as I don't game anymore I was thinking about converting my Win7 desktop computer into a hackintosh, but would this combination of hardware work?
CPU: Intel Core i7-920
MB: ASUS Rampage II GENE Republic of Gamers
RAM: Corsair XMS3 3 x 2 GB (1600 MHz CL8)
GFX: Club 3D Radeon HD4870 (1 GB)
I haven't decided what hard drive to use just yet. I have a Intel SSD, but I properly won't be using that the first time I install OS X. Maybe later, when I have a feeling of it running as it should.
Besides the above I have a Samsung S-ATA dvd writer and a Corsair HX620w PSU. All the hardware is assembled in a Fractal Design R3 case.
Would the above hardware work? If not, what parts should I change?
I have yet to find someone running OS X on this specific Asus MB..
Thanks for the help!

Alan Scott's best coaching might not come in Xs and Os or drawing up schemes. Scott's finest work might be off the field.
The Gulf Coast boys soccer coach is a motivator. Three years ago, he got a group of teenagers to believe in his system, to buy the program he was selling.
Believing wholeheartedly in their coach, the Sharks' steady improvement culminated in one of the best soccer seasons in Collier County history. In his fifth season, Scott led Gulf Coast, which won just seven total games his first two years, to the Class 4A state championship this season.
The Sharks became the first boys or girls soccer team from Collier to win a title, thanks largely to Scott, who is the Daily News Winter Coach of the Year.
"The credit goes to the kids," Scott said. "They actually believed in me, listened to me. They showed tremendous work ethic and the commitment to play with each other, not as one person."
Scott is the only area soccer coach with a state championship on his resume despite being one of the youngest. The 2006 Gulf Coast graduate still is just 24 years old.
While he won over the team, Scott's biggest selling job might have come five years ago when he convinced Gulf Coast athletic director Jose Arias to take a chance on a 19-year-old first-time coach.
"He had a look in his eye," Arias said. "A lot of times coaches tell you they're going to win a state championship, but he actually believed it. I'm proud that he's proven people wrong that didn't think he could do it so young."
Things weren't always as smooth as this year. The Sharks had losing records in Scott's first three years. Despite going 8-10-5 in 2010-2011, Gulf Coast made just its second regional playoff appearance by finishing runner-up in the district.
The Sharks won their first playoff game that year. In 2012, they won twice in the postseason to advance to the regional finals for the first time.
This year, Gulf Coast (19-3-3) actually lost in the district final, but ran through the state playoffs, winning its 4A semifinal and championship game by a combined score of 8-1.
"This team believed in me," Scott said. "It's not very often a 19-year-old kid gets hired, but the kids were able to buy into what I had to say. It's been a lot of fun to see them grow."
