Nest egg blueprint: Measure twice, cut once
Thousands of feds who bailed out of the TSP stock funds during the depths of the recession are now wondering whether they should come back and if so how. For a look at what might have been, and what you can still do, check out Senior Correspondent Mike Causey's Federal Report.
Investing via rearview mirror
While most of us invest for the future, the majority of people chart their course by looking backward, Senior Correspondent Mike Causey says. So how's that working out for you?
Piece-of-cake advice for million-dollar nest egg: Just buy low and sell high!
Turning your Thrift Savings Plan into a million-dollar nest egg is simple enough. Invest as much as you can to get the government match and then be sure to buy low (when the market has hit bottom) and be prepared to sell high (when it's peaked). How do you do that? Read Senior Correspondent Mike Causey's Federal Report for more.
Life after retirement, sex after marriage?
Since the dawn of civilization, mankind (and womankind too) has been vexed by two burning questions: Is there sex after marriage and is their life after retirement? For the correct answer check out Senior Correspondent Mike Causey's Federal Report today.
Take this raise and store it
Senior Correspondent Mike Causey ponders whether the prospect of a March pay raise - after two years in the deep freeze - makes you giddy with excitement. Have you already started planning on what you will do with that extra dollar a day?
Survivor's checklist
It's the first Friday of the new year, so how are you holding up? Senior Correspondent Mike Causey wants to know: Did you take a break and did it work out or break you? Are you happy we didn't go over the fiscal cliff? If you took time out during the holidays, what were your fellow feds saying about life, their jobs and what's next?
2013 - so far, so good...
Tired of those 2012 year-in-review reviews? So are we. Which is why Senior Correspondent Mike Causey has done a condensed year-in-review for 2013. Best part. It doesn't take a long time to read it.
New Years' resolutions for G-men and women
Have you made any job-related New Years' resolutions? Senior Correspondent Mike Causey wants to know: Are there are things you will or won't do in 2013 to get ahead, or just survive?
New Year's retirement tsunami headed our way?
What's your worst nightmare? How about Dracula, Frankenstein and Nick Nolte appearing in your bedroom? Or is it the long-predicted retirement tsunami? Because maybe, after 13 years of building up, it's on its way, Senior Correspondent Mike Causey says.
Rocky Mountain High coming to your office?
What does the legalization of marijuana in Washington and Colorado have to do with your job performance? Maybe nothing. But Seattle, Denver and Colorado Springs are also home to large numbers of federal workers, Senior Correspondent Mike Causey says.
Sleep is not an option, some feds say
When you took your federal job, did your game plan include getting eight hours of sleep and most weekends off? If so, Senior Correspondent Mike Causey wants to know: How's that working out for you?
Living With Gadget Creep
Are electronic gizmos and communications aides making work life better and more productive or do you find yourself distracted, tired and nervous in the civil service? Federal News Radio Senior Correspondent Mike Causey wants to know your thoughts.
Worry, Yes. Panic, Not So Much...
For years, politicians from both parties have threatened to trim federal benefits, like retirement and health insurance, but nothing has happened. In today's guest column, Senior Correspondent Mike Causey asks benefits expert John Grobe to talk about the history and future of federal benefits.
A big holiday thanks to federal workers
Whatever your reason for working this holiday, be assured that Senior Correspondent Mike Causey feels your pain, but thankfully from afar.
Home alone - federal style
The second most trying time in government starts today and runs through the start of the new year. It is a time when many offices are deserted and those with people resemble the Village of the Damned. Check it out, if you dare, Senior Correspondent Mike Causey says.
Monday holiday rumor accurate - up to a point!
The Thursday morning news seemed too good to be true, Senior Correspondent Mike Causey says. A major D.C. newspaper was reporting that federal workers would get Monday Dec. 24, the day before Christmas, off. The word spread quickly until people read the fine print. And the name of the president.
New retiree diet: 99 ways to serve Hamburger Helper
If Congress and the White House change the yardstick used to measure inflation, will retirees barely notice or will they have to go on a diet of Hamburger Helper and Ramen Noodles? Check out Senior Correspondent Mike Causey's column for more.
Compromise hits highest/lowest incomes
In the fiscal-cliff talks, it now appears that both sides have blinked. Republicans appear willing to accept some higher taxes and Democrats seem to have agreed that Social Security's growing costs must be curtailed. Slightly and slowly. So how will the proposals affect you? Check out Senior Correspondent Mike Causey's column.
Pay, bonus holiday, retirement: Scrooged again?
If Congress and the White House cut a last-minute deal to avoid sequestration and the fiscal cliff, some of the compromise may come out of your hide, whether you are active or retired, Senior Correspondent Mike Causey says.
Diet COLAs for everybody?
If you could pick any historical event to relive, it probably wouldn't be the maiden voyage of the Titanic that didn't go well. And now, 100 years later, federal, military and Social Security retirees are just becoming aware of a political iceberg that could punch a hole in their future benefits, Senior Correspondent Mike Causey says.

I'm going to steer away from that car as far as I can, or Pentagon Car Sales for that reason. I did put a deposit on it on Friday, and withdrew it today. I went there on Friday to see the car in person, and looked all good at first glance until I looked underneath the front to find an oil paddle on the showroom floor. I wiped the paddle off on Friday, and came back on Sunday just to check it again and found another oil paddle. Car is leaking oil. WTF??? Then started inspecting the paint, and found some imperfections on the hood. It looked like someone took some sand/dust particles and sprayed paint over it. There is also overspray on the edges of the hood and quarter panel. So I wrote an email over to my sales rep about it, and today I was informed that the front end indeed was repainted due to some scratches. SCRATCHES??? What about disclosing this right up front, before I put the deposit. Scratches can be polished out. It had to be more than just scratches. On top of it, the front bumper doesn't line up with the front right quarter panel and has bigger gap than on the left side. That is not how you do business, and treat a customer that bought a car from them last year, and was about to buy another one. To add, four of my friends referred by me also got their cars from Pentagon. I guess this is how they thanked me. I was very committed customer to Pentagon, but that has changed today.

Featuring life-size models, interactive exhibits, and films—as well as more than 20 stunning whale skulls and skeletons—the family-friendly exhibition also reveals the history of the close relationship between humans and whales, from the traditions of Maori whale riders to the whaling industry and later rise of laws protecting whales from commercial hunters. Originally developed at Te Papa Tongarewa, the national museum of New Zealand, the exhibition also features rarely viewed specimens from the museum's own world-class collections.

In addition to Eglash Creative Group, Joe Eglash (aka Joel N. Eglash) created oySongs.com, the leading online source for Jewish music (audio and sheet music downloads). It was sold in 2012. Formerly Managing Director of Transcontinental Music Publications and URJ Press, music/book publishing divisions of the Union for Reform Judaism, he has hundreds of publications to his credit.
[Selected publications and notable endeavors / CV]
Independent artists and small businesses know Joe as a jack-of-all-trades designer, compositor, engraver, and publisher. But he is also a recognized authority in the music industry and guitar pedagogy, and is a consultant of musical repertoire, marketing, and building congregational instrumental ensembles. His popular T'filah Band songbook series [more info], containing arrangements of liturgical music for synagogue band and choir, was published by Tara Publications.
Raised in a family of folk music enthusiasts in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Joe studied the guitar and saxophone. Before earning his B.A. in Judaic Studies from Brooklyn College, he studied classical guitar with Jeffrey Van at the University of Minnesota, where he formed a band, The Flood.
For years, The Flood toured large college and community venues to capacity crowds, earning a substantial following. They released three popular albums of original music.
Build a Fire, Joe's debut solo recording, was released in 2009, and his sophomore follow-up, So Wired, in 2011. Three, released in 2013, marks a leap forward in recording and songwriting. It has quickly become a fan favorite, with its bold, emotional, and powerful songs. He plays every instrument, sings, and writes the entirety of his solo efforts.
In addition to the ECG blog, Joe writes a music blog ( JoeEglash.com ), a food blog ( What You're Not Eating ), and collaborates on a cigar blog ( The Humidor Putzes ).
Joe is active as a guitarist, multi-instrumentalist, bandleader, arranger, and composer in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he resides with his wife and kids. He has found himself back in the smoky bar scene as lead guitarist with the Charmers, and is a member of four additional bands. He is a member of ASCAP and GTM.

Watch Dogs' launch trailer recreated shot-for-shot in Grand Theft Auto 4
Watch Dogs? Or Grand Theft Auto? Can't make up your mind which open-world game to play? Why not have both?
YouTuber RavenswestR1 cooked up this virtuoso re-creation of Watch Dogs' launch trailer in Grand Theft Auto 4, nailing every shot and camera angle perfectly. This is something of a hobby of his, as he's done the Need for Speed movie's trailer, and the trailer for the film The Other Guys in GTA 4 as well.
For comparison, the original trailer Ubisoft released on May 22 is below.

Part of a Homebased Customer Care Professional Interview Review - one of 518 American Express Interview Reviews
Answers & Comments
I had to wing it and be creative in my response, I provided an example from one of my previous employers.
Thank you for sharing your interview process. It is extremely helpful. I have an interview with Clarissa this afternoon, and honestly didn't even know what the STAR method was until today. I get so nervous during the interview process that I can't really focus on the questions as they come, but this will allow me to have an idea of what will be asked and the best method to answer. Thank You.
Thank you for your information. It was one of the best I have read and I know Amex interview questions are tough at times. (former employee).

Poster by Aaron Calland
'The Prime Minister will hold meetings today over the 'shocking and depraved' execution of photographer James Foley.
The dramatic development came after the Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said the Islamic State was waging war on Britain and the West and the organisation had to be dealt with 'on that basis'.
He also said the jihadist filmed executing Mr Foley 'appears to be British' and revealed the Government believed the video was 'genuine'.
Mr Hammond said the UK would oppose the Islamic State 'with every breath in our body' and could send British troops to Baghdad to train Iraqi forces to fight the 'evil organisation'.'

'The soldier-turned-author told the Daily Mirror: "My biggest fear is when they come back to the UK, Germany and France.
"They will join forces again and develop ways of bringing in military grade explosives and weaponry.
"Once they hit us in that state, they will be all over the police like a rash.
"We'll see the deployment of troops on the ground in Britain because that's the only way you'll stop them."'
Read more: Ex-SAS officer warns 'army could be seen on UK streets' if British jihadis return from war
'Former head of the Royal Navy Lord West of Spithead warned there was a worrying lack of clarity about the UK's strategy and a danger of "mission creep".
General Sir Richard Dannatt, former head of the British Army, meanwhile insisted "the nation would expect" Parliament to be recalled to allow MPs and peers to debate Britain's growing involvement in the conflict and said it was unwise for the Government to publicly rule out British boots on the ground.'

'Palestinian officials have blamed Israel for the collapse of a temporary ceasefire in the Gaza Strip as several Palestinians are killed during fresh Israeli attacks.
"The ceasefire has collapsed and Israel is responsible," Azzam al-Ahmed, the head of the Palestinian negotiating team in Cairo, said on Wednesday.
"We are leaving tomorrow, but we have not pulled out of negotiations," he stated, adding that the Palestinians were waiting for Israel's response to their truce proposal.'

'The wife and young child of a Hamas leader have reportedly been killed in an Israeli air strike in Gaza.
Local media quoted an "anonymous official" saying it was meant to hit Mohammed Deif, the Islamic group's elusive military chief, but he was not found in the wreckage of his home.
Two women and a two-year-old girl were killed by the missile, health officials said, and a senior Hamas leader in Cairo, Moussa Abu Marzouk claimed the dead included Deif's wife and child.'

'A Labour frontbencher was accused of encouraging mob rule last night after she boasted of taking part in an anti-Israel protest that forced a supermarket to close.
Shabana Mahmood lay in the street outside a Sainsbury's store in Birmingham alongside dozens of pro-Palestine campaigners, protesting against the fact that it was 'stocking goods from illegal settlements'.
Her 'direct action' forced the supermarket to close for several hours on a busy Saturday. She then used YouTube to brag about her actions, calling for a boycott of Israeli goods – in direct contravention of Labour policy.'

'A Russian convoy of trucks carrying tanks towards the Ukraine border has been seen returning without its cargo… fuelling fears that Vladimir Putin is already gathering his army in the country.
The convoy of 13 military transporters had been carrying fearsome T-90 tanks and infantry vehicles through Russia's Rostov region towards the border.

'The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe's Special Monitoring Mission working on the Russian-Ukrainian border has not seen any weapons crossing between the countries, an OSCE spokesman working on the Russian side of the border said Tuesday.
"We have not seen any weapons. There was a question of whether we saw military vehicles crossing the border. Yesterday at two [border crossing] points, we didn't see any military vehicles crossing the border," Paul Picard said at a briefing.
On August 15, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko claimed Ukrainian artillery destroyed Russian military hardware that had allegedly crossed into Ukraine at night.'
'Experts at a European Union (EU) think-tank are demanding that the EU prepare to put down strikes and protests with military force. Due to the deepening social inequality in a globalised economy and growing military conflicts within the EU's borders, such outbursts will inevitably increase.
In the study by the European Union Institute for Security Studies, the authors bluntly state that in the face of these developments, the army will have to be used increasingly for policing duties to protect the rich from the anger of the poor.'

'Riot police in Ferguson, Missouri, will continue to arrest journalists for simply walking down the street while covering the riots, according to a police captain early Tuesday.
Missouri State Highway Patrol Capt. Ron Johnson made the startling statement at a press conference in Ferguson when asked if the 31 people arrested at the protests last night included journalists.
"…Some journalists are walking around, and all you have is a cell phone because you're from a small media outlet," he said. "Some of you may just have a camera around your neck, so yes, we are — we may take some of you into custody."'

'A CNN anchor has been the target of much backlash on social media after this morning suggesting that police could break out water cannons and use them on protesters in troubled Ferguson.
In a conversation with her colleague Tuesday morning, Rosemary Church said "Talk to us about what police are saying to you. Why they are using this strategy? Why the use of tear gas, stun grenades? Why not perhaps use water cannons?"'
'MSNBC host Ed Schultz suggested on his show last night that police like those currently occupying Ferguson, Missouri may need military gear in order to deal with the threat posed by "anti-government groups."'
'These are, in no order of importance, the continuing ability of the political Establishment – from all corners of both houses – to hide, cover up, ignore or pervert evidence pointing strongly at the commission of very serious crimes by its members; and the quite extraordinary desire of the odd sociopathic moron here and there to earn a living by exacerbating the level of confusion, in order to allege that showbiz males from a bygone age were also committing equally serious crimes.
As with phone hacking – once the Right-leaning media started to cover it, Murdoch was in big trouble – the same syndrome can be seen in that those media are now gradually taking Westminster's involvement in organised child molestation and trafficking seriously. Sadly, they're also yelling their heads off about the celeb-groping sector too, but let's leave that for a few paragraphs and stick with the real McCoy.'

'A few weeks ago I went to a public meeting at the heart of a sprawling 1950s council estate in central London. The community centre was packed and airless. Tempers were flaring.
"You say you're regenerating the estate, but how come our kids are losing their playground?" one mother shouted. "Why should we believe a word that comes out of your mouths?"

'Targeting everything from government offices and university research facilities to gas company headquarters and fracking sites, hundreds of concerned citizens across the United Kingdom on Monday unleashed a series of direct actions calling attention to the government-backed push to "frack the future" of the UK.
The coordinated demonstrations kicked off a six-day "Reclaim the Power" camp in Blackpool, England at which over 1000 people including a coalition of climate, social and economic activists are expected to join. During the event, participants will take part in protests as well hold workshops to "connect the dots" between various government and industry efforts to expand shale gas drilling in the UK and "challenge the undemocratic, unjust and unsustainable system" to implement more sustainable energy solutions instead.'

'It has become increasingly fashionable in liberal circles to credit President Barack Obama for doing all he possibly can to combat climate change. Praise reached especially dizzying levels in the aftermath of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)'s proposal of new rules to reduce carbon pollution from power plants this June.
The EPA plan is hard proof that our nation's "environmental president" has "done everything within his power to fight the most urgent crisis of our time," gushed New York magazine's Jonathan Chait. Obama's actions are "about as much as a president could do on climate change without Congress," declared Slate's Will Oremus. Even former President Jimmy Carter, never shy about launching the occasional barb at the White House, said as much at a recent energy conference in that most elite of hangouts, Aspen, Colorado.

'Husbands who keep their wives downtrodden could face prison under new plans set out by the Government today.
Theresa May, the Home Secretary, published proposals for a new offence of "domestic abuse" designed to criminalise men who bully, cause psychological harm or deny money to their partners.
The law would make the worst cases of non-violent "controlling behaviour" a jailable offence.
Exact terms of the offence are yet to be defined, but it could involve humiliating, frightening or intimidating a partner, keeping them away from friends or family or restricting their access to money.'

'Crucial steps towards ending secrecy in the family courts have been set out by a leading judge as he published proposals to open cases to the public for the first time.
Sir James Munby, president of the High Court's family division, said he was seeking "preliminary views" on allowing the public to attend divorces and other types of case involving family matters such as child custody hearings.
The judge said opening the courts was a key part of his "transparency agenda" which aims to open the court's often controversial work to greater public scrutiny.'

'The group's new report looked at a June congressional vote on legislation, offered by U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson, D-Fla., that would have blocked the Pentagon from spending resources on transferring military hardware to local police agencies. The bill was defeated 62-355.
According to data compiled by Maplight, the lawmakers "voting to continue funding the 1033 Program have received, on average, 73 percent more money from the defense industry than representatives voting to defund it." In all, the average lawmaker voting against the bill received more than $50,000 in campaign donations from the defense industry in the last two years. The report also found that of the 59 lawmakers who received more than $100,000 from defense contractors in the last two years, only four voted for Grayson's legislation.'

'Activists protesting Israel's military action in the Gaza Strip converged on the Port of Oakland on Sunday afternoon in an effort to block the unloading of an Israeli cargo ship, the second such action in two days.
The activists formed pickets at several Port gates to prevent workers from unloading the Piraeus, a vessel from Zim Integrated Shipping Services, Israel's largest shipping firm. The ship docked at 5 p.m. at the port's Oakland International Container Terminal, and protesters communicating via Twitter said port employees were honoring their picket lines.
"It's my understanding that labor did not report to work for the 7 p.m. shift at the Oakland International Terminal," port spokeswoman Marilyn Sandifur said Sunday evening. "All other port operations are unaffected."'

She also issued her decision Sunday in contravention of a letter written exactly two years ago by Prime Minister (and then-official health minister) Binyamin Netanyahu, who told Knesset Interior Committee chairman MK Amnon Cohen that he [Netanyahu] "could not agree to the cessation of fluoridation" of potable water. Netanyahu continued that municipalities had requested to continue their fluoridation of water and that they should be allowed to do so.'

In response, gun-wielding assailants breached her doors and windows in a violent search for electronic evidence. The hair-raising incident took place at the household of Louise Milan on Powell Street. It was the place where she and her husband had raised their six children, and had lived for three decades.

'Whenever the Israeli army drafts the reserves—which are made up of ex-soldiers—there are dissenters, resisters, and AWOLers among the troops called to war. Now that Israel has sent troops to Gaza again and reserves are being summoned to service, dozens are refusing to take part.
We are more than 50 Israelis who were once soldiers and now declare our refusal to be part of the reserves. We oppose the Israeli Army and the conscription law. Partly, that's because we revile the current military operation. But most of the signers below are women and would not have fought in combat. For us, the army is flawed for reasons far broader than "Operation Protective Edge," or even the occupation. We rue the militarization of Israel and the army's discriminatory policies.'

'Recently, an announcement from the American Society for Nutrition (ASN), a respected authority on nutrition policy, noted that processed foods are an important part of the U.S. food supply because they are widely available and meet current nutritional guidelines. This statement was recently published in the prestigious American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
According to Dr. Connie Weaver, the principal author, these foods can have a positive impact on health, but when consumed "inappropriately or at inordinately high proportions of a total diet, [they] are deleterious to health." Did I just read this correctly?
Only after I read this report did I realize that there is an established direct link between some of the authors of this report and the food processing industry in the U.S.'

PA Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki last Saturday threatened "we will go to the ICC, and put our signature on it. Very soon we will be a (sovereign) state. That is enough for the court to start an investigation."
However, citing inside sources in the ICC and among the PA's lawyers, The Guardian reports strong US and Israeli pressure on PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas not to take such actions, or else risk cutting his own purse-strings.'

'Zim American-Israeli Shipping ("Zim") was the predecessor company of the present Zim Integrated Shipping Services and was 49 percent owned by the Israeli government on 9/11. In 2004, the Israeli government sold their interest to the Israeli Ofer Brothers Group, which then became the sole owner of the company. On 9/11, Zim's headquarters was in Haifa, Israel, and it had worldwide regional offices in Hong Kong, Hamburg, Germany, and Manhattan, New York/Norfolk, Virginia.
At the time of the 9/11 attacks Zim was one of two Israeli companies with lease contracts at the World Trade Center. The other Israeli tenant, Clear Forest, had a small office of 18 employees on the 47th floor of WTC 1 (the North Tower). According to the Jerusalem Post, Clear Forest had only four or five employees at the WTC on 9/11 and all escaped uninjured.
Although there were some variances in the WTC 1 tenant rosters between various media organizations, the majority showed that Zim occupied all of the 16th floor (WTC floor space approximated 50,000 square feet), 10,000 square feet of the 17th floor, and some space of the 29th floor of WTC 1. Zim had about 250 employees at the WTC before its move-out, which would require somewhere in the vicinity of 50,000 to 60,000 square feet of office space.'

'Labeling the government of Bolivia as "pro-extractivist" or "neoextractivist" ignores the reality that Bolivia has made significant advances in breaking with the extractivist framework inherited from previous governments and enforced by the existing global relationship of forces.
A central challenge facing progressive governments and social movements in South America today is breaking the region's dependency on raw material exports. This issue, which has tended to revolve around the concept of "extractivism", has also become one of the main points of contention between supporters and critics of the processes of change currently underway in the region.'

'The fatal shooting of a man by police on Tuesday near St. Louis kept the spotlight on law enforcement's use of deadly force as protests continue in nearby Ferguson over the police shooting death of teenager Michael Brown.
The two shootings bear little resemblance. Brown was an unarmed teen who, according to eyewitnesses, was trying to surrender when a police officer shot him at least six times. The man killed on Tuesday, whose name hasn't been released, was wielding a knife, according to police. When he refused officers' orders to put down his weapon and walked toward them, they shot him to death, police said.
As tensions continue to flare over Brown's death, many question the circumstances under which the law justifies a police officer's use of deadly force. When faced with a perceived threat, why don't officers shoot to wound rather than shoot to kill?'

When Bound For Glory 2014 was announced, there were some concerns because New Japan was doing a show at the same venue on the same day as well. Dixie Carter and Great Muta no longer need to worry about that since NJPW has decided to cancel the event. No word yet on the cause behind the cancellation. There are some speculations that Jeff Jarrett, who was recently in Japan, might have had something to do with it.
August 16, 2014
Over the last several weeks, TNA has been generating quite the buzz, including a big announcement by Dixie Carter and Great Muta about doing Bound For Glory 2014 in Japan. Now, the company is hyping up a huge announcement that will be taking place at the London Film and Comic Con event. No official word yet on what the announcement will be, but some are speculation that TNA could be doing a pay per view in England soon.
June 30, 2014
It's going to be a busy day at the Korakuen Hall on October 12th. Dixie Carter and the Great Muta are not the only people hosting a wrestling pay per view at that venue. New Japan Pro Wrestling will also be doing an internet pay per view there as well. The belief is that one of the shows, most likely Bound For Glory 2014, will be taped in the afternoon.
June 26, 2014
The announcement by Dixie Carter and Great Muta turned out to be much bigger than initially expected. Some thought the two were just going to reveal that more Japanese wrestlers were coming to the states to work TNA shows. However, the two shocked the wrestling world by announcing that Bound For Glory 2014 will be taking place in Japan. Muta is expected to play a big part in setting everything up for TNA over in Tokyo.
June 25, 2014
On Wednesday, a press conference has been scheduled by Dixie Carter and the Great Muta. A huge announcement is expected to be made, but no details have been released just yet. Right now, rumors are pointing to another joint show between TNA and Wrestle-1. Speculations are that Muta will be bringing an influx of Japanese wrestlers over to the states to work the upcoming Bound For Glory 2014 show.
June 23, 2014
While details have yet to emerge from backstage, it does appear that the story line between Dixie Carter and the new baby face investory will be a focal point on Impact Wrestling for much of 2014. Some are even saying that it will stretch to Bound For Glory, which is taking place in October.

Prior to becoming a star in WCW, Sid Vicious managed to pull off a pretty amazing feat while working for New Japan. Even though he was an unknown, Vicious was able to convince the promoters in Japan to give him a shot at the legendary Tatsumi Fujinami and the IWGP Heavyweight Championship. He lost, of course, but was able to gain some recognition in the late 1980s by being in the match.
April 27, 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
With the way he has responded to Konnan, Sid Vicious has called Curtis Axel an embarrassment to Curt Hennig and the family name.
October 31, 2013
In a very brutal and ugly situation, Arn Anderson has been stabbed by Sid Vicious. The Four Members were on a European tour for WCW when they got into an argument at a hotel. The fight escalated and a pair of scissors became involved. Vicious received four stab wounds, while Anderson received twenty. Too Cold Scorpio stopped the incident from going any further.

The sales tax (also known as a facilities tax) can only be used for school buildings. It cannot be used for educational materials, staff salaries and benefits, or transportation. It eases the burden on property owners and could even lower the property taxes.
"It's the fairest tax out there. Everyone contributes," VonSchnase said. "People have told me they buy more locally because the money goes to help their schools."
He added that when we shop in other counties that have the facilities tax already in place. we pay for their school districts. Macon, Christian, Douglas and Champaign counties are already collecting the tax. Moultrie and Effingham counties are considering the tax at this time.

In NYC, meteorological Winter has been with us for quite some time. And with tomorrow's Winter Solstice, astronomical Winter starts as well. But there is a silver lining—even though the coldest days are yet to come, from today the day length will steadily increase toward Spring…
In the meantime, Happy Winter!
However, for reasons that can't be gainsaid, we are off to Florida for a week's paddling, in regions that even WordPress cannot reach… Happy Holidays, and see y'all when we get back!

Last weekend at NYC's Central Park Reservoir. An icy cold day. The Reservoir is mostly frozen over, leaving just a patch of open water where all of the Reservoir's birds have congregated.
Johna surveys the panorama. (Click to enlarge any photo.)
Midtown Manhattan rises up beyond.
The birds are mostly Canada Geese and ducks, including some varieties that we've never noticed here before—they are probably from Canada, down for the winter. They paddle through the patch of open water, squabble, or just stand silently on the ice, beaks tucked into their back feathers, facing into the cold wind.
The blue shadows lengthen as the sun goes down, lighting up the East Side on the other side of the Reservoir with its last rays.
