Like religion, a sport is founded on the adoration of its faithful. We all have heard enthusiasts describe football or basketball as their religion and a certain stadium as their place of worship. Both sports and religion are value systems that influence the emotional state of their adherents or fans, and ritual and practice are key elements of both. So it's no surprise that professional wrestling, whose dramatic nature makes the parallels even more apparent, has been studied by religious scholars. But if the sports-as-religion metaphor is accurate, then who is god in the professional wrestling world? While numerous potential candidates exist among the pantheon of wrestling superstars, one name shines a little brighter: Hulk Hogan. Above and beyond his wrestling prowess, Hogan has a unique legacy that's saturated in symbolism resembling religious worship. Though he was wrestling's biggest star in the 1980s, it wasn't until March 17, 2002, at Wrestlemania 18, that Hogan would secure his place at the top of Mount Olympus. Wrestlemania 18 would be day of his apotheosis.
During the 1980s and early 1990s Hulk Hogan was wrestling's ultimate good guy, wrapped in patriotic imagery and always admonishing the children to "say their prayers and eat their vitamins." He was a physical manifestation of all the virtues one would expect from a "real American" and seemed to derive his godlike powers from his personal link with fans, a phenomenon which he dubbed "Hulkamania." Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, always commented in interviews about the strange, almost magical connection between him and his fans, the Hulkamaniacs, which allowed him to use their strength and support when it looked as though he would be beaten. This ability, appropriately enough, he called Hulking up or Hulking out. The religious overtones of this are clear: Hogan's fan-fueled strength evinced the power of their belief in him. He was able to transform their faith into tangible results in the ring.
Though these traits allowed Hogan to secure a near uncontested place in wrestling history, they were not enough for deification. Despite his unparalleled success, the late 1990s damaged Hogan's legacy. His movies (No Holds Barred, Suburban Commando), while successful, were not films for the ages. His TV show, Thunder in Paradise, had been canceled and concern over steroid use had tarnished his image. Hogan ended up leaving the WWE for Ted Turner's World Championship Wrestling, where he tried to maintain his image as the good guy but never achieved the same connection with WCW fans. Eventually he was made a bad guy, or heel, and a founding member of the nWo (the "New World Order"), an infamous wrestling stable, which eventually would take over the WCW. As Hollywood Hogan, the name he adopted for several years, he would become one of the most hated (i.e., most successful) heels in wrestling. But after some troubling disputes with WCW management, including a (possibly staged) incident at Bash at the Beach 2000 where he engaged in an argument with WCW booker Vince Russo, Hogan terminated his contract and left wrestling on a sour note.
But Hogan would return to wrestling in 2002 after a two-year absence. The WWE had survived WCW's challenge by purchasing the rival and slowly integrating WCW products and themes into its own storylines. One of these products was the nWo. According to the story, Vince McMahon decided to bring the nWo into the WWE so as to poison it from the inside. Founding members Kevin Nash, Scott Hall and Hulk Hogan all returned to the WWE at the pay-per-view No Way Out event on February 17, 2002. Despite a warm reception from the fans, the trio made its impact by insulting fan-favorite the Rock and attacking Stone Cold Steve Austin and depriving him of the title. After a month of attacking other wrestlers and making his presence felt, Hogan was soon challenged by the Rock to a match in Wrestlemania, the largest and most important event in pro wrestling. This match would be the key to Hogan's triumphant return as the hero and secure his immortality.
Dubbed the "Showcase of the Immortals" Wrestlemania is symbolic of the highest peak in professional wrestling. For the first decade of its existence, Wrestlemania was Hogan's pay-per-view. Of the first nine Wrestlemanias he was in the main event of eight and on March 29, 1987, he made history when he body-slammed the 400-pound Andre the Giant. If Hogan was a demigod whose powers were built on the faith of his followers, then Wrestlemania was his church, in which he was at his most powerful. (The only Wrestlemania in which he had ever been defeated was Wrestlemania 6, against the Ultimate Warrior). But on March 17, 2002, Hogan would return to the event that made him famous, after more then eight years as the bad guy, against the popular People's Champion, the Rock. Color commentator Jerry "the King" Lawler observed that while we would never be able to watch Tyson vs. Ali or Babe Ruth vs. Barry Bonds, Hulk Hogan vs. the Rock, one of only a few to rival Hogan in terms of popularity, was actually going to take place.
The Rock seemed to be walking into the Skydome as the fan favorite. Still, as Hogan's music played, the ovation was impressive. Despite the numerous signs held up by the Rock's fans, Hogan had a powerful entrance. At the onset of their match, the two stepped forward and eyeballed each other while commentators discussed the significance of these two icons going head to head. Fans seemed equally divided. As tensions rose and the two stared at each other and then back at the audience, the cheers for Hogan battled with the cheers for the Rock. It seemed everyone in the house was screaming, and finally the two circled each other and locked up. They grappled for a few seconds, highlighting their strength, each maneuvering for position. Then with a massive heave of force, Hogan threw the Rock across the ring. As the Rock stared dumbfounded, Hogan flexed his muscles and posed for the fans.
That moment, the momentum shifted; fans began cheering for Hogan. The fanaticism of the crowd was crucial. A self-perpetuating energy gained momentum among them. Fans who were initially supporters of the Rock or were only lukewarm about Hogan's return suddenly were pulled in by the overwhelming atmosphere of the moment. Personal feelings were ignored, as many fans were suddenly kids again, caught up in Hogan's charisma. Hogan continued to get the better of their next two exchanges, pummeling the Rock. Finally Rock exploded off the ropes and caught Hogan with a clothesline. Hogan tumbled to the ground; a huge cheer for the Rock rose and died very suddenly, replaced instead by a massive chorus of boos. The rest of the match was to go that way. While the Rock still received some cheers, the fans had clearly turned to Hogan's corner. Every time the Rock got the better of Hogan, resulting cries of outrage filled the Skydome. Conversely, every time Hogan successfully hurt the challenger, fans cheered fanatically.
Then the match came to a triumphant climax. After a rock bottom, the Rock's signature finishing move, he went to pin Hogan. On two Hogan kicked out and suddenly began freaking out. Hogan, seemingly filled with an unstoppable energy, was Hulking out. As a bad guy, Hogan had never Hulked out. Fans have spoken about the power of this moment. Hogan had not Hulked out in years and many recalled suddenly being kids again, watching Hogan come back from the brink of defeat through the sheer power of his fans' belief. The Rock could not believe it as punch after punch failed to have any discernable effect. Hogan went for his finishing move, the big boot followed by the leg drop, the very move that had defeated Andre the Giant. But the Rock also kicked out at two and then was able to come back. He rock-bottomed Hogan twice and then landed his other signature move, the people's elbow, and was able to win the match.
The Rock posed following his victory as Hogan slowly got to his feet. Hogan stepped forward and offered the Rock his hand, which The Rock shook. When Hogan's fellow nWo members, Hall and Nash, rushed to the ring to attack him for this apostasy, the Rock came to Hogan's rescue. Then The Rock convinced Hogan to pose for the fans the way he had done so many years before and the two left the ring to a strong ovation.
Hogan, The Rock and even the commentators were shocked at the overwhelming reaction during the fight. The cheers and outpouring of emotion, the fanatical energy, were all reminiscent of a Christian revival, where the participants were brought to a frenzied state of adoration. When Hogan hulked out, it symbolized his charismatic reconnection with his flock and reignited Hulkamania. The fans were able to ignore Hogan's years with the nWo and the ignominious way he had left professional wrestling and instead tap into the mythology that had made him a hero. His sins had been forgiven. The villainous Hollywood Hulk Hogan was dead and all that left was the hero returning to his seat of power, Wrestlemania, after nine long years in the desert.
Then why, you might ask, if the moment was meant to signify Hogan's triumphant return, did he lose? It was a necessary sacrifice, a Christlike surrender on the altar of immortality, his crucifixion moment from which he could be reborn. His defeat also was the perfect pretext for his show of respect for the Rock, which led to the attack by his old friends and Hogan's opportunity to transcend that milieu.
After Wrestlemania 18, Hogan spent the next months capitalizing on his triumphant return as a face. He battled superstars like Triple H, the Undertaker, and Kurt Angle, and even regained the WWE World Championship. He did not always win, but even in defeat he was a fan favorite whose support was no longer based on his successes in the ring. Eventually he scaled down his participation in wrestling but every time he makes an appearance he receives an unparalleled ovation. When he was inducted to the WWE Hall of Fame the resulting ovation lasted almost 10 minutes, with many in the audience moved to tears.
When compared to wrestlers like Bret Hart or Kurt Angle, Hogan was not the greatest athlete to enter the ring. Compared to superstars like the Undertaker and Mick Foley, his character was not the most dynamic or complex. Yet the quasi-religious symbolism Hogan managed to drape himself with served him well throughout his career and allowed him to be reborn well after his fame may have seemed irretrievable. A sign a fan held up during his monumental match with the Rock neatly sums up his place in professional wrestling: "Hogan is God!"

Sorry, me again!
Your otherwise excellent plugin seems to have a bug ... or maybe it's just me.
WP version: 3.5.1; CCTM version: 0.9.6.7; Theme: Montezuma (Bytesforall) 1.1.3
When 'bulk' editing posts in the "Dashboard | All Posts" screen, when you use the categories filter, then try to 'bulk edit' posts, you get an "Invalid post type" error message (in the usual WordPress error screen format).
Through a process of elimination, I've confirmed it only happens when the CCTM plugin is activated. I also tried switching to the 'default' Twenty Twelve theme, to eliminate a conflict there, and the error message still happens.
If you need any more information to try to track it down, please don't hesitate to ask. :-)

there is something "up" with this company, and I expect major news before Christmas
it very well may be severely bad news for stock holders, but something is coming
there is absolutely no way this huge volume can be explained with price other than it is being manipulated, for whatever purpose is at hand
it is virtually impossible now, to get information from the vehicles available to the average investor, but this I feel with every fiber of sense in my being
somebody on the inside knows something BIG that we do not
I believe we will know soon whether to celebrate or move on
You have no clue at all.
There is no doubt about that. LOL
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Your post means nothing. LOL
The huge volume is just the shorts trading between their different account to push the stock price down.
The insiders are consistently buying since last year.
So there would only be good news if there is any thing hiding from us.
Next week, we are going to see $0.50 - $1 pop up!

AOL, Who Are You to Ignore Marty Markowitz?
The borough president's attempt to resolve a technical issue on behalf of a constituent has been ignored by the Internet provider.
Apparently AOL has, for some unexplained (probably technical) reason, shut down a longtime beloved arts newsletter, "Not Only Brooklyn," that local guy Neil Feldman writes for free twice weekly and sends to about 3,000 readers. So many people are coming undone that Feldman got Brooklyn borough president Marty Markowitz to call AOL on his behalf. According to Only the Blog Knows Brooklyn, Markowitz's office "responded swiftly to Feldman's call for assistance" and left several messages at AOL but did not receive a response. That is just wrong. Everyone knows, when Marty's people call you, you take the damn call. [Only the Blog Knows Brooklyn via Gowanus Lounge]

I want one word that means Date and Time. For example in "the date and time of the event will be announced later" I want to use single word instead of "date and time"
Sign up

Just saying "date" should be sufficient:
In this usage, "date" implies time as well -- if the organizer of the event hasn't even determined the particular date yet, the exact time of day is probably up in the air as well. Another example: when you agree on a date and time to meet someone or do something with someone, you're often said to "make a date" or "have a date," and it's understood that that means the time as well as the day.
Similarly, "time" can imply date, as in:
In that sense, the speaker is referring to something that happened on a particular date and time, but the specific date and time are less important than the thing that happened.
On the other hand, sometimes you want to identify a particular instant that something happened. For that case, "moment" is a good word, as is the phrase "point in time":
Use details. You also could rework and use something like appointment.
In technical writing where precision is necessary, the term datetime has been coined when it is necessary to be precise that date and time are to be specified. This is particularly common in documentation of computer systems and databases.
I have never, however, seen this term used in a non-technical setting (that I can recall).
Your answer, is always the most concise description of a future "moment" yet to happen. However, time and place with meaning in the present, is only 1 thing: NOW.
And frankly, anything but NOW doesn't really matter. Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow may never come. For the NOW is all you really have.

Dimensions You Need to Know
The ideal reach-in closet (we're not talking walk-ins here) is 6 to 8 feet wide and 24 to 30 inches deep. Standard double doors are best, assuming there's room to swing them open. To prevent blind alleys, the inside of the return walls, the ones to which the doors are hinged, should be no longer than 18 inches.

Dublin wants to meet you. So come and say hello to a cosmopolitan city that's as friendly as a village, as intimate as a pub and as full of new ideas as it is old characters
TripAdvisor twice hailed Dublin as the friendliest city in Europe. So what's the first thing you should do? Why, meet a Dubliner, of course. We've even got a program in place to connect first-time visitors with hospitable locals. It's called City of a 1,000 Welcomes (you've heard of the céad míle fáilte, right?), and it's going down a treat.
Another way to stock up on the low-down is by taking a tour. As well as traditional bus sightseeing experiences, visitors to Dublin can explore the city's haunted corners with Hidden Dublin Walking Tours, visit the latest cultural happenings and new openings with the Le Cool Dublin Experience, or explore the emerging docklands on a Segway tour.
Dublin has its big hits and historic sights (we're looking at you, Trinity College and the Guinness Storehouse). But truly, a visit is as much about the here and now.
New ideas and sparky start-ups are flourishing, with fresh scenes popping up along South William Street, Essex Street West and most recently, Capel Street. You can still hit up Grafton Street for high street shopping, but don't miss the buzzing bars and boutiques of the emerging Creative Quarter around South William Street to George's Street, and from Lower Stephen's Street to Exchequer Street.
The quays are quite the architectural catwalk, too. From Daniel Libeskind's Bord Gáis Energy Theatre at Grand Canal Dock to the Custom House and U2's Clarence Hotel, Dublin's skyline seems at once rooted in present and past. All that's missing, as the late poet Seamus Heaney said, are "the Vikings coming sniffing up the Liffey".

Dublin, of course, is famous beyond its friendliness. James Joyce immortalised the city and its people in masterpieces such as Ulysses, and it continues to live and breathe the written word. Dublin is a UNESCO World City of Literature, but it's not just its authors who are interested in spinning yarns... hence the famous local greeting: What's the story?
The best places to join the conversation are Dublin's pubs, clubs and cafés. New or old, fashionable or funky, gorgeous or grimy – there's something for everyone's taste here. Three to make aim for are The Fumbally (a café-cum-collective on Fumbally Lane), Izakaya (the Japanese whiskey bar on South Great George's Street) and Everleigh Garden ("70% outdoors, 30% indoors and 100% friendly," as it says itself) on Harcourt Street.
Finally, don't forget Temple Bar – a cobblestoned enclave of galleries, restaurants, hopping pubs, buskers and the shape-shifting Meeting House Square. Perhaps check out another newbie to the urban landscape, which went unappreciated until relatively recently: Dublin's twist on grafitti, murals and tagging. Challenge your perceptions with a Street Art tour around Temple Bar's streets and alleys – who knows what you'll discover…

Murphy's law at its best
Bought spark plugs for the ram today, got home and started changing them out. The first four came out of the box and changed out no problems. I opened the next box of four plugs and to my surprise, there are only THREE! I looked everywhere for number four and of course its not here. So I've done half of a spark plug change, lol. I'll have to go back with my receipt and get my missing plug:doh:
hope they give it to you without any problems.

Russell Crowe denies Dita von Teese rumours on Twitter
- From: News Corp Australia Network
- January 15, 2013
RUSSELL Crowe has responded to rumours that he has been getting intimate with burlesque performer Dita von Teese in New York City recently.
The New York Post reported that the Les Miserables star was spotted at the Four Seasons Hotel with von Teese enjoying a romantic couple's massage at 6.30am.
The hotel offers "in-room" massage service for couples, which can be "enhanced" with an optional rose petal milk bath, costing between $US485 and $US815 ($459-$771).
"@DitaVonTeese is brave, smart, sweet and elegant. She is a friend of mine. Who wouldn't want friends like that? Friends, not lovers", Crowe posted on Twitter earlier today.
Although Crowe denied the romantic encounter via social media, he has not hidden his admiration for von Teese on Twitter in the past.
Last year, Crowe retweeted her post "Dressage. Was measured for bespoke blk patent boots w/my name stamped on the heel . . . But under whose bed did I leave my Hermes riding crop?" as well as "Giving airport security a lesson in garter belts this morning."
Crowe split from wife Danielle Spencer in October after nine years of marriage and has since been linked with Billie Joel's ex-wife, Katie Lee, with whom he was said to have enjoyed an "intense flirtatious conversation" at 3am by the fireside of Manhattan's Greenwich Hotel.
Von Teese was previously married to singer Marilyn Manson and divides her time between Hollywood and Paris.
Days after the sighting at the Four Seasons, Crowe was seen in Sydney, visiting his sons, Tennyson and Charles.
Some reports have Crowe paying around $25 million dollars to Spencer in a divorce settlement. They are said to have signed a prenup stipulating Spencer would receive their $14 million home and a minimum of $15 million if they divorced any time after three years of marriage.

Thirteen years ago, on February 14th of the magical year 2000, I published version 0.30 of a library I had been writing in my spare time. This library allowed developers to enhance their applications with simple PDF generation functionality without having to know anything about PDF syntax.
Being a fan of Donald Knuth, I was looking for a name that sounded like TeX, but that was different enough for people not to confuse it with TeX. As the first versions of my library were only able to process text —images weren't supported until the summer of 2000—, I experimented with variations on the words TeX or TeXt. At that time, everything was "e-": e-mail, e-marketing, e-Business,... My first idea was to call my library "eTeXt", but I didn't like the sound of that word, so I changed it into iText.
I often get the question if I was inspired by Apple's product line, but I've never been a Mac-user, so I didn't think of the iMac (1998), and the other devices that made the "i-" popular are from a much later date: the iPod (2001), iPhone (2007) and iPad (2010).
Tomorrow, exactly 13 years after the first use of the name iText and the first official iText release, I'm releasing iText 5.4.0.

I've been looking at enabling the CPU Limit for a website.
Under Advanced Settings for the appropriate Application Pool I set
CPU Limit: 95000
Limit Action: NoAction
Limit Interval: 5
After leaving this for a night, I checked the event logs to see how often that the worker process would have been recycled. To my horror it would have done so every few minutes, implying the server was maxed out for much of the night which is incorrect, logged total cpu usage never gets over 50%.
Using Task manager, Resource Manager and PerfMon during the day and adjusting the above values, they all agreed that overall cpu usage averaged 13%, however PerfMon differed when you looked at the individual process cpu usage (counter: Process\% Process Time(w3wp) reporting 30%-40% average. This counter managed to reach the high 300% which after reading here is because its a sum of all usage across all cores and not normalised like the other counters.
Now my problem appears that the IIS CPU limiting bases its decision on this counter and thus wants to wrongly recycle the process.
This is a windows 2008 x64 standard edition installation on bare metal, quad core, IIS is the only role installed. I've configured both the BIOS and windows power management for performance as I wondered if the ramping up/down of the cpu speed might have affected this but it hasn't.
I don't need to diagnose high cpu usage, we just want to have the process correctly recycled if it ever reaches a high level.
I assume I must have missed some dependency setting elsewhere, and now at a loss as how to correctly implement this cpu limiting.

This little gem of a hotel is conveniently located just off the motor way and on the outskirts (roughly 3 K) of Ljubljana city centre. We were so glad we stopped here, a great little hotel in a wonderful city. Ljubljana is a MUST if you are in the area.
The hotel has a pre-arranged fare of 3 euro in a taxi to the city, or alternatively you can ride, walk, drive or bus. The hotel is on a very quiet street and the outdoor area was quiet and relaxing. Rooms were clean and modern and had everything we needed. The hotel has a bar/restaurant and a nice terrace to enjoy dinner or an afternoon/evening beverage or two. Free breakfast was included in the room price and was really nice. Check-in and out was easy and there was ample parking available for those with a car.
I would definitely recommend this hotel, particul
arly for those with a car given its proximity to the highway and city centre which is a pedestrian only zone – many hotels cannot offer onsite parking. Overall fantastic value for money and I will be back on day.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Ahotel is an independent hotel for leisure visitor seeking to enjoy the delights of Ljubljana as it is for business executives. Ahotel offers an excellent standard of a 3 star accommodation at value for money rates, as well as balance of contemporary yet comfortable style. Ahotel is modern, inviting, spacious and cozy at one. ... more less

- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Expedia, Booking.com, Hotwire, Hotels.com, Priceline, HotelTravel.com, Travelocity, Agoda and Odigeo so you can book your Ahotel Hotel Ljubljana reservations with confidence.

Our first bounty of the season is the herbs – Basil and Cilantro. Our first natural response was Pesto.

Definition of birdsong in English:
The musical vocalizations of a bird or birds, typically uttered by a male songbird in characteristic bursts or phrases for territorial purposes.
Example sentences
- The usual explanation for birdsong is that the birds are singing to attract mates or to announce the limits of their territory.
- The clear tones of birdsong emerge from internal air sacs that can inflate and deflate, much like a bagpipe's bladder.
- Ornithologists also know something about how birdsong is produced.

I need help.
I'd like the upload functionality in WP 2.0 to select "Linked to image" by default.
Right now "Not Linked" is the default.
So I did some hacking...
in inline-uploading.php, line 249
I changed
and I made all kinds of different combo changes to the
toggleLink function. (lines 335-344)
Currently, they look like:
if ( ol.innerHTML == notlinked ) {
od.innerHTML = ab[n]+img+'';
ol.innerHTML = linkedtoimage;
} else if ( ol.innerHTML == linkedtoimage ) {
od.innerHTML = img;
ol.innerHTML = notlinked;
else {
od.innerHTML = ab[n]+img+'';
ol.innerHTML = linkedtoimage;
So here's what's happening...
you upload a photo, you click on it, it SAYS "Linked to image" but if you send to editor, it is NOT linked.
click on it again, it says "Not Linked" and indeed it is not linked.
Here's where it gets strange. Click a third time and it SAYS "Linked to image" and this time is REALLY IS linked to image! Then every click works properly after that.
So it's the first click that's messed up.
Anyone know how to get "Linked to Image" the default choice and have it actually work?

I have quite a few JL audio products in the past and feel let down by this one. Crutchfiield is not to blame but the sub is not as dynamic as I expected. I have friends with stick Bose systems that sound better. I have a alpine 500 watt digital driving this and it is just not smooth sounding. I do not listen to rap or techno. I am a Coldplay, jack Johnson marron five type listener. Not rocking out till my ears bleed just like nice sound I just leave it as bummed

Utah Jazz: Deron Williams talks candidly about Jazz's struggles
Mike Terry, Deseret News
LOS ANGELES — As a child in Texas, Deron Williams won two state wrestling championships. Now, as the focal point of the Utah Jazz, the all-star guard faces the most imposing opponent of his professional career.
Pervasive, unceasing exasperation.
"I've never had a season this frustrating, personally and as a team," Williams said during All-Star Weekend festivities. "Never."
Nevertheless, Williams has averaged more assists (9.7 per game) than all but two NBA players and is on pace to record the best scoring average of his career (21.3).
Despite his statistics, Williams has watched the Jazz stumble during the past five weeks while playing much of the season with a sprained wrist that affects his shooting.
In the past seven games, Williams made just 44-of-110 shots — and missed 27-of-34 from 3-point range.
"I know I lack confidence in my game, and that's translating to everybody else," Williams said. "It was weighing on me a lot.
"I haven't been shooting well. Now, I'm thinking, 'Should I take this shot or should I pass?' I can't play like that.
"In the last couple of games, I've just been trying to play hard and do other things: rebound a little bit more, try to get some more steals, try to do other things to help us have a chance to win while I've been struggling offensively."
The Jazz lost 11 of their last 13 games to fall into a tie with Memphis for eighth place — the final playoff spot — in the Western Conference.
Adding to Williams' burden is the controversy surrounding head coach Jerry Sloan's abrupt resignation Feb. 10, one day after the point guard and the coach argued at halftime of a 91-86 loss to Chicago.
Many have blamed Williams for Sloan's departure; the two had a cantankerous relationship.
"It was frustrating because I felt like — I know — I wasn't the reason Coach Sloan decided to step down," Williams said. "If Coach Sloan calls a play, I'm going to run it.
"There were a lot of reports out there that were false, a lot of 'sources,' as they call them, that had opinions. You know, I can't really control all that.
"There are going to be people who choose to believe the first thing they hear, the first thing they see on 'SportsCenter.' More power to 'em."
Still, Williams regrets the way his relationship with Sloan developed.
"I wish we would've had a better one," Williams said. "I wish we would have talked more. I did whatever Coach Sloan said, offensively and defensively. Sometimes, we'd disagree on things and we'd have an argument.
"You know, I think we're a lot similar and I think that's why we bumped heads a lot. We want to win so badly, and we're both stubborn. I think that cost us a lot in our relationship."
Ty Corbin, appointed to replace Sloan, offers a less intense counterbalance.
"They're a lot different," Williams said. "Ty's 30 years younger and he can relate to us a little bit better. He's a little bit easier to approach."
Yet Corbin has not totally replaced Sloan in Williams' mind. The point guard still calls Sloan "coach" automatically and uses the present tense while discussing him.
"Coach can be intimidating just because of his stature," Williams said. "He's a Hall of Famer, and he's been here for so many years, so it's hard for a lot of guys to approach him."
With Williams facing immediate challenges, confronting free agency will have to wait.
"I can't even think about it," he said. "There are so many different things that weigh on free agency for me. The collective bargaining agreement is the first one.

The whole place was clean and comfortable. Would have been more fun to have a personal guide take you through it and explain it's history.

This B&B was very nice settled in the little town south west of Gettysburg. It was easy to find and fits into the nostalgic history of Gettysburg. The inn keeper was very accommodating and wanted to make sure our stay was comfortable. The evening meal was delicious. Breakfast was good and presented nicely. Maybe it was me, but I thought maybe it was prepared using microwaveable products everything tasted fine, if this was the case I was expecting a little more after a fine meal served the evening before, I am easy to please so this didn't upset me. All in all I would recommend staying at the Fairfield Inn.

This is my 3rd time actually staying at the inn. Actually drove up from Alexandria, VA to bring my mom there for Mother's Day brunch. All I can say is, the service is better each and every time I come, the inn is so beautiful and beautifully maintained with it's historic nature. I always stay in the 1757 suite which truly gives me the feeling of being there back in the day. John is a gracious host, the food is to die for and everyone is so friendly. I honestly feel like this is my home away from home. If you are looking for the best tasting food, cleanest and most beautiful accommodations, if you love dinner theater and are looking for people who actually treat you like family then I would recommend the Historic Fairfield Inn 150%!!!! I am already planning another visit this coming December. Hope this review helps!

The wonderfully caring staff, the owners, and the chef are all top notch! I love staying here so much I have been 5 times this year alone!

The hotel is nice and our room was comfortable and nicely decorated, but no way was it worth what we paid. The 'dinner theater' was a magic act. Nice, but nothing special. The dinner was okay, again nothing special. I'm glad I did it once, but wouldn't do it again.

Don't lose Terry. He is a wealth of knowledge and a great cook. Room was outstanding. Will be back.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We were looking for a unique, historic inn, and Fairfield exceeded our expectations. It was the perfect prelude to our first visit to Gettysburg the next day. The inn is restored and maintained beautifully. We were impressed with the genuine hospitality shown to us, and our room was lovely, clean and comfortable. Since we were there on a Friday night, the restaurant was open and we enjoyed a delicious dinner...we were very pleased that we did not have to leave the inn, having been on the road all day. Our breakfast was a treat...hot Belgian waffle, eggs and bacon. We are happy to recommend the Historic Fairfield Inn.

We stayed in the 1757 Suite for one nite. The Inn was accommodating of our late arrival. Wish we could of stayed more nites but it was already booked up. Wanted to spend at least one nite in a civil war era place and was not disappointed. The suite was big and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was enjoyable. This was our first time at a B&B. Plan to go again and take the whole family.

Will stay again for sure. Terry was absolutely outstanding.

My boyfriend and I had the pleasure of staying at this "Historic Gem" this past weekend. We stayed in the Three Colonels Suite, which was stunning. The food that was prepared for us for dinner and especially breakfast was amazing. But, of all the elements that made this a fantastic stay, the hospitality was unmatched. Katherine, Mary Lou, and Jenni were so very gracious and fun to speak with. Terry treated us with the utmost respect and consideration. It was a very busy weekend for the Inn and Winery and although, Terry worked a very long weekend, he cared for us every step of the way during our stay. The food he prepared for us was exceptional, he tended our room for us, he took time out of his busy days to speak with us and be informative...he truly made our trip memorable. The winery is amazing and the staff extremely welcoming. We will definitely be coming back to visit! Catherine Ryan ad Travis McCabe
The Grumble Jones Original Mansion House guest room is named for the Confederate General who fought in the Battle of Fairfield, which was a cavalry engagement fought directly to the back of the Inn's property on July 3, 1863. While a minor fight compared to the Battle of Gettysburg, the mission was an important one. William E. "Grumble" Jones' celebrated "Laurel Brigade" was charged by General Robert E. Lee with the task of securing the vital Hagerstown Road. Jones and his brigade succeeded and after this bloody battle, the Inn was used as a Civil War Hospital for many of Grumble Jones' soldiers. The remaining unscathed troops camped near Fairfield, keeping the road open for Lee's retreat and then guarded the rear as the Army of Northern Virginia moved through the Fairfield Gap on July 4 & 5, 1863.
The spacious J.E.B. Stuart original Mansion House guestroom is named for Gen. J.E.B. Stuart who stayed in this room in 1862 during a confederate raid of the valley. General Stuart revisited the Inn on July 4, 1863 as he & General Robert E. Lee lead their troops on the Confederate Retreat. Defeated & weary, the two Generals along with several of their officers stopped at The Fairfield Inn for a hot meal. Accommodations include a queen sized bed, large seating area with foldout full-sized sofa and a beautifully decorated large private bath with a whirlpool tub.
The Patrick Henry Guest Room is named for the American Patriot & Statesman (1736-99) famous for the quote "Give me Liberty or Give me Death." He was the nephew of the Lady of the House, Isabella Henry Miller. This original Mansion House room was used by him during many of his visits to the Inn as a meeting room with the town's elders. This second floor room is furnished with antiques, a queen-sized wood and iron bed, and a large, gorgeous private bath with a claw-foot tub and separate shower.
The Major Starr Guest Room is located on the third floor and is named for the legendary old dragoon, Samuel H. Starr, who served in the Civil War. This Irish-American officer in the Reserve Brigade was a gloomy-faced veteran whose harsh discipline was exacted on both officers and enlisted men alike. Experienced and respected by his superior officers, Major Starr was ordered to move west out of Gettysburg to Fairfield to seize a Confederate wagon train rumored to be foraging there. No wagon train was found but during the search, Starr and his regiment encountered confederate troops and fought what is now known as the Battle of Fairfield which resulted in Starr losing his arm in battle. The Major Starr cozy, third floor guestroom has a full-sized Lincoln suite antique bed & marble top dresser, beautiful magnolia wallpaper and a cottage-like feel throughout the bedroom and private bath with a whirlpool tub.
The Suite is the original house of Squire William & Maggie Miller, founders of Fairfield. They moved to the area from Delaware to what was considered, at the time, as the frontier and raised their children on 247 acres of farming land. In 1786, their daughter, Jane Maria, and husband, Col. Paxton applied for the very first Tavern license in the Gettysburg and surrounding area. The Inn has been serving travelers ever since making it one of only five in America that has been in continuous operation since the 1700s! The Suite has a parlour with the original 1757 fireplace chimney, a full private bath with whirlpool tub, and a very large master bedroom with queen-sized bed. The room boasts a built in wall of window seats, perfect for cuddling up with a good book and a glass of wine or hot chocolate.
The Suite is named for three confederate colonels who were injured July 1, 1863 during the battle of Gettysburg, stabilized on the battlefield, and moved west on the Fairfield Road en route to Virginia. Of the three men that shared the same ambulance that day only two are known, Col. Daniel Harvey Christie of the 23rd NC and John Kerr Connelly of the 55th NC who had his left arm amputated in Fairfield. On the eve of the first of July, all three men rested in comfort at The Fairfield Inn. The Three Colonels Suite offers a charming parlor with trundle bed, sitting area, mini-refrigerator and microwave, a sunny separate bedroom with a queen bed, and a lovely, private bath with a claw-foot tub & separate shower. To make your stay even more special, this beautiful third-floor suite also has access to a private balcony overlooking the Main Street lined with the town's quaint historic homes.

If you are looking for a hotel that offers luxury rooms with a great service, quality food at the restaurant and a top notch gym for a fitness fanatic like me, the BOMA is the place to stay in Nairobi.
We stayed in a business suite for three nights. The room is very spacious with a comfortable queen size bed. All amenities are very new and of high quality. What's really impressive is the level of service we have received. The staff are very friendly, helpful and genuine. We felt relaxed and very welcome during our stay.
Having stayed in some of the best hotels in the world, the Waldorf in New York, the Ritz in London, BOMA has surprisingly exceeded our expectations in every aspect. We received a very personal service from the general manager on our last day. They do make their guests' satisfaction their top priority, and it shines through in everything they do.
We didn't realise that all proceeds from the BOMA are contributing to the Red Cross organisation. This has made our stay feel even more worthwhile.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Hospitality has now become a new front in the fight against human suffering. Kenya Red Cross Society has taken this concept to the next level with the launch of The Boma Nairobi. This is a luxury deluxe hotel with an adjoining conference centre offering world-class hospitality, having every penny of profit funding the KRCS's humanitarian work. This is 'hospitality with a conscience.' ... more less
- Reservation Options:

Kyle Stone: Life During Porn Time
Kyle Stone: Life During Porn Time
Veteran XXX actor working on book, standup act
Posted Aug 14th, 2008 02:49 PM by
Mark Kernes
– There are different tactics one can employ to work one's way out of porn. For some, it's a matter of moving out of town, changing hair color and settling down with a boy- or girlfriend in Flyover Country. And then there's veteran actor Kyle Stone.
"I'm doing several things right now," Stone said in an interview. "I'm writing a book. I'm trying to start a potential new career in standup comedy. It's difficult. I use the fact that I've been in the business for 15 years as part of my routine. In fact, one of the jokes I do in there is, I say I was talking to a friend of mine and I told him I was going to try to do standup comedy and he said to me, 'Well, won't you be nervous?' I said, 'Well, let's think about this. I've been getting naked and having sex in front of strangers and a camera for 15 years. I think I can handle this, yeah.' So that's one of my actual lines in my standup bit."
Stone takes the stage each Tuesday night at the HaHa Café Comedy Club in North Hollywood, where even famous comedians like Damon Wayans occasionally show up to try out new routines.
"He dropped in and did about 20 minutes, so that's always cool," Stone said. "I've been meeting some good comedians and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that one of them notices me and wants me for a movie. I've met a lot of them, and they're like, 'Hey, I know you'; that sort of thing. And I say, 'Thank you very much.' Part of my bit is how my recognition has changed throughout the years. People used to give me what I used to call The Look, which is a kind of thing where they look at me with this quizzical look, and they figure out who I am and they run away."
Would that be just women, or everyone?
"No," he responded, "that was mostly guys in the early part of my career, but now that porn's become a little more pop culture, a little more accepted, now people will come up and talk to me. People are very nice to me. They come up to me and tell me they love my work and, 'Hey, I watched you in ... ' and of course, they really make me feel very old when they do that. 'You're a veteran; you're a legend' – they use the L word; that's when I back up three feet. 'Legend? No, I don't know about that.'"
"So I have a slight advantage, because when they see me, and they know who I am, they want to hear what I have to say," Stone continued. "'That's that porno dude; what's he doing here? I want to hear what this guy has to say.'"
Stone still takes the occasional porn role, though these days, it's usually in blowjob movies.
"I think the last time I had a major script in my hand was something I did for Jonathan over at Wicked, a non-sex role," he recalled. "I don't remember what the movie was; I don't even remember who starred; I just remember she was a little fireball and she was really sweet. But the b.j. stuff helps pay the bills. A lot of people, they go, 'Are you still working?' 'If you're still hiring, yeah, I'm still working.' But I've got to go somewhere else; it's time to head toward other horizons."
Part of those horizons will be Stone's autobiography, From A Skill To A Pill: Diary of a Mad Porn Star.
"It's basically about how the pill has changed the industry and basically how it cost me my career," he lamented. "I was one of the 25 guys in this industry who could naturally perform and once the pharmaceutical companies came out with the ED drugs, pretty much almost everybody could do my job, so that's why the book is called From A Skill To A Pill, because basically that's what's happened. It's basically my views on how the industry has changed in the time I've been in it."
But that's not all the book is about. For instance, Stone also relates the story of how he got into porn in the first place.
"A wrong number," Stone explained. "You might remember Nasty Natasha; she also went by Eden later on in her career. I dialed a number – it was actually the right number but it was the wrong number, and it was late one night, and she answered the phone, and I said hello. I said – I thought it was a girl named Cindy – I said, 'Hey, Cindy, how are you doing?' She's like, 'Who's this?' I'm like, 'What do you mean who?' I gave her my real name. She said, 'This isn't Cindy's number.' And I'm going, 'Oh, I'm sorry.'"
"Now, this is 1:30 in the morning. So I said, 'Oh, I'm sorry; I'm sorry; my mistake.' She goes, 'Well, you haven't talked to Cindy in quite a while, have you?' I go, 'No, it's been over a year.' She said, 'Oh, because I just got this phone number today. I thought it was kind of funny it was ringing.' I said, 'Oh, well, once again, I'm sorry.' I tried to back out of it."
"So Natasha goes, 'Well, what were you going to say to her?' And I'm like, 'Well, uh; well, uh ...' So I told her, 'Well, um' – I tried to dance around it, and she goes, 'You were going to talk sex, weren't you?' I said, 'Well, uh, it was kind of – you know, it was a possibility.' She goes, 'Tell me what you were going to say.' Now I'm thinking this is some kind of set-up at this point, right? I'm going, 'I'm not going to jail. I'm just going to hang up now.' She goes, 'No, no, it's okay; tell me.' I said, 'Well, I'll tell you what: I'll give you my phone number. You call me back and I'll tell you whatever you want to hear.' Because if somebody calls you, you can say whatever you want."
"So I gave her my number, and she called me right back, and we had phone sex. Now, when it was over with, she says, 'Oh, guess what I do for a living?' I go, 'Phone sex operator?' Because she was good. She says, 'No, no, no, I do porn for a living.' I said, 'Oh, yeah, right.' She says, 'No, no, really I do. In fact I'm in this movie and this one,' and she gave me a couple of movies she was in. And she says, 'So you have my number, obviously; I have yours. Call me in a few days.' 'Okay.'"
"So I went out and actually got the movies, and I watched them, and of course, her voice was so distinctive, when the scene came up, I'm looking at naughty little Natasha and going, 'Holy shit! This woman's gorgeous.' She was a little fireball. And so I went, 'Holy moley!' So I ended up calling her back, and I said, 'Hey, listen; I saw your movies. You're awesome.' So she goes, 'Let's like meet for lunch.' So a week later, we got together, we had sex, surprisingly enough, and when we were done having sex, she said, 'So, have you ever thought about being in my industry?' And I said, 'Well, let's think about this. I'm an American male, I've seen porn – yeah, yeah; I think anybody's that's watched it has gone, yeah, that's a job I'd like to have.'"
"So she turned to me, and she said, 'Well, I honestly think you could do this if you wanted to.' She obviously saw something in me that I didn't know existed other than the fact that I've been horny since I was 5, but she said, 'You know, I think you could.' I go, 'Okay!' She says, 'No, no, not that fast.' I said, 'Yeah, it figures.' She says, 'I really want you to think about this.' This is pre-AIM 101 [AIM's video for new performers], and this is something I write about in my book: She asked me to take a week off to think about what I was getting into, and I did, and I think everybody, when you come into this industry, you should be sent away for a week; sit down with an agent, sit down with a producer, sit down with whoever you want to sit down with; go through all the paperwork; set it all up; don't sign anything, but research what you're getting into, and don't make a snap judgment on this. Take some time off to think about it."
"And I did; I actually waited a week and I thought about how family was going to react, how friends would react. I was working at a law firm at the time; I had to consider how that was going to go over, and I did take the time to think about it, and it worked out for me. I just believe that as long as I wasn't hurting anybody and nobody was hurting me, then there really wasn't anything wrong with it. I loved sex; I loved women; I knew I never was going to purposely hurt a woman because that's not my style, so I thought it was something I wanted to do. So we talked about it. A week later, she said 'Okay; at least you've had time to think about it.'"
Stone's first scene was with Natasha, for Odyssey Group's Triple Play 67: Girls Who Love It Up The Ass, and he loved it – and thus the legend was born.
While there's no publication date yet for Stone's book, anecdotes like the one above are a big part of his comedy act, which can be seen every Tuesday night at the HaHa Café at 5010 Lankershim Blvd., North Hollywood – and if you mention Stone's name at the door before 8:30 p.m., you can probably get in for half price (though there is a two-drink minimum.)
"There are usually some really good comics there, and we always have a lot of fun," Stone stated. "For 15 years, I've been doing something that I love. Before that, I was working at the law firm, filing; I didn't love that; it was a grind. I didn't enjoy getting up and going to work, but for the past 15 years, I've been enjoying my life; I've been enjoying getting up and going to work. I want that to continue. I don't know that I can go back to a 9 to 5 grind of doing something I don't feel good doing. I love to act; I love to entertain; if I can make people laugh, that's always a bonus. I guess I'm an exhibitionist. I like to entertain. So let's hope it keeps going. I'm trying to get as many people to come see me as I can, and hopefully it'll lead me somewhere."
