Lupita Nyong'o as Patsey in 12 Years a Slave
- Other Nominees
·Sally Hawkins as Ginger in Blue Jasmine
·Jennifer Lawrence as Rosalyn Rosenfeld in American Hustle
·Julia Roberts as Barbara Weston in August: Osage County
·June Squibb as Kate Grant in Nebraska
Lupita Nyong'o won best supporting actress at the 86th Academy Awards for her feature film debut in 12 Years a Slave (AA). The striking Nyong'o enraptured audiences with her subtle, anguished take on a young slave woman who is repeatedly raped by her owner (Michael Fassbender; AAN) and denigrated by his wife (Sarah Paulson). Whether stoically hauling cotton in the fields or merely contemplating her fate in silence, Nyong'o compellingly evinced the agonies experienced by the victims of slavery. Her final scene, in which her confidante Solomon Northup (Chiwetel Ejiofor; AAN) is rescued from bondage by his friends, was noted for its wrenching depiction of her character's despair.
The Kenyan actress was born in Mexico while her father was teaching there; he later served as a governmental minister and senator after the family returned to Kenya. Nyong'o attended Hampshire College in Massachusetts, where she studied film and theatre and served as a production assistant and intern on several movies. She graduated with a bachelor's degree in film studies in 2007. Her senior thesis, the film In My Genes (2009), was featured at the 2010 New York African Film Festival. She later assumed a role in the television miniseries Shuga (2009; 2012), about youth culture in Nairobi. She then enrolled at the Yale School of Drama, from which she graduated in 2012 with a master's degree in acting.
Lupita Nyong'o, in full LUPITA AMONDI NYONG'O (born March 1, 1983, Mexico City, Mex.)

Giroux and Hartnell (seconds before he gave me a high five).
Yes that's my hand in the Islanders jersey! Decided to go with Tavares and I was the only one at the Draft sporting his name! When Hartnell was picked by Alfie, I yelled Hartnelldown not sure if he heard me but I was pretty close to the stage!

- Range up to 200ft indoors and 300ft outdoors (and much further with booster equipment).
- 3 different speeds are available – 11, 22 & 54mbps.
- Network security is assured through 128 bit encryption.
- Networks can be a combination of wireless and wired connections.
- Wireless networks are not only tidier and quicker to install but quicker in most cases due to the lack of wiring and switches.
- A staggering 253 machines may be connected to a single wireless router.

"Had to be me. Someone else might have gotten it wrong."
I managed to kill Tali after defeating the Reaper. As if things didn't feel horrible enough when I lost Thane and Mordin earlier today. Dammit this is too sad! I may have to restart the mission, I'll have to think about it. The worst part is that Tali was the one I've romanced. Today too many manly tears have been shed, I can't help it.
All life precious. Universe demands diversity.

The Olympian is, by definition, defined by the Olympics themselves. Not by the World Championships. Not by the Pan American Games. Not by a World Cup.The standard can be unfair, especially if you are an Olympic athlete who has won in the World Championships, the World Cup, the Pan Am Games, etc.As many medals, trophies, ribbons and other accolades former University of Texas diver Troy Dumais has amassed in his long career, this Olympian still lacks that one little thing that defines an Olympian.Which makes zero sense."It does make me wonder, 'Why? What's going on and why haven't I been able to do this?'" said Dumais, 32, at the Olympic Summit in Dallas last month.Dumais is vying this week in the U.S. Olympic Diving Trials in Federal Way, Wash., for one of 14 spots on the U.S. diving team that will compete in the 2012 Summer Olympics beginning July 27 in London.He is trying for what would be his fourth Olympics, and first Olympic medal. Success, as defined by a medal, in the Olympics is about the only thing Dumais has not done in his diving career."I know I can win a medal. I have beaten all of these guys. I have beaten them plenty of times before....Everyone wants to go for that medal."In a sport that is judged on gold, silver and bronze, and is separated by the narrowest of margins, Dumais does not need to go to the videotape to remember each time he missed out on the top three spots in an Olympics.In the 2000 Games in Sydney, he finished sixth.In 2004 in Athens, he again finished sixth.In 2008 in Beijing, he completed the rare triple with three consecutive sixth-place finishes in the individual 3-meter platform in the Olympics."I know exactly where in every Olympics I have missed," he said. "And do I play a mental game with myself? No, but it gives me another addition to the fire that burns me to push more and try harder for those moments."Dumais is as dismayed by his lack of his success as any of his teammates. Greg Louganis might be the greatest diver in the history of the sport, but his successors have not been able to carry on his legacy.Between the men's and women's teams, the United States has won a total of 128 medals in diving, and zero since Laura Wilkinson won gold in the 10-meter platform in 2000.How?"It's a good question, and it's a question we all try to figure out," U.S. diver Kristian Ipsen said. "I do think we are on the right track. The last couple of Olympics -- this is an individual sport, but it's been 'all about me.' At least the last few times, we have tried to make this more of a team thing. There is more momentum."Dumais might be annoyed, baffled and frustrated by the results, but he does not sound like a man who stays up nights replaying each moment, primarily because he has too much else to do.Dumais, from Ventura, Calif., holds a degree from Texas in exercise science, and he works on the side as a mentor and tutor in computer science and math with the Longhorns football team. He has given up his side gig as a model to focus on his career and diving.At 32, Dumais sounds like a man who knows that, while he might be able to dive a few more years at the highest level, this could be his last Olympics."There is nothing set yet; it does become a mind over body thing," he said. "Can your body hold up and can your mind hold up over your body? I have seen people dive until they are 34 and 35, and ultimately that broke them."By most standards, Dumais' three consecutive sixth-place finishes in his Olympic career plus a slew of medals in countless other international competitions is not only commendable but amazing.Not many people in the world will ever do what he is doing. Yet, as an Olympic athlete he is defined by the Olympics themselves, meaning just one medal of any color in the London Games would be the appropriate cap to his brilliant career.Mac Engel, 817-390-7697Twitter: @MacEngelProf

For any woman to success in American life she must first do two things Prepare herself for a profession, and marry a man who wants her to succeed as much as she does.
For want of self-restraint many men are engaged all their lives in fighting with difficulties of their own making, and rendering success impossible by their own cross-grained ungentleness; whilst others, it may be much less gifted, make their way and achieve success by simple patience, equanimity, and self-control.
Forget about the consequences of failure. Failure is only a temporary change in direction to set you straight for your next success.
Formula for success Underpromise and overdeliver.
Forward, as occasion offers. Never look round to see whether any shall note it.... Be satisfied with success in even the smallest matter, and think that even such a result is no trifle.
From success you get a lot of things, but not that great inside thing that love brings you.
Genuine success is never meant to come to you on a platter of gold/silver. Yes, you ought to either create it yourself, work it out yourself, go for it proactively/courageously/unyieldingly or you associate with those who are already successful and who are willing to act as catalysts towards the actualization/realization of your own prospective genuine success.
Genuine success is never meant to come to you or anyone else on a platter of gold or silver. Yes! you ought to either create it yourself, work it out yourself, go for it proactively, courageously and unyieldingly or you associate with those who are already successful and who are willing to act as catalysts towards the actualization or realization of your own prospective genuine success.
God's plan for you is concise. He (God) plans to transform all your so seemed failure into enviable success, your disappointments into appointments, your setbacks into comebacks, your misfortunes into fortunes, your disgrace into grace, your mess into mercy, your obscruity into fame and your poverty into riches. Oh! Yes, that's just what he (God) intends to do/achieve for you eventually . And he can/will do all that and even beyond all that.
Good actions lead to success, as good medicines to a cure: a healthy man is joyful, and a diligent man attains learning; a just man gains the reward of his virtue.
Good leaders make people feel that they're at the very heart of things, not at the periphery. Everyone feels that he or she makes a difference to the success of the organization. When that happens people feel centered and that gives their work meaning.
Good people are good because they've come to wisdom through failure. We get very little wisdom from success, you know.
Hard Work is to Success like vaccinations are to good health, if timely done.... the result is always the latter!!!!
He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much.
He was, first and last, the born fighter, to whom the consciousness of being matched against a great adversary suffices and who can dispense with success. Life for him was an adventure, perilous indeed, but men are not made for safe havens. The fullness of life is in the hazards of life. And, at the worst, there is that in us which can turn defeat into victory.
He who endeavors to serve, to benefit, and improve the world, is like a swimmer, who struggles against a rapid current, in a river lashed into angry waves by the winds. Often they roar over his head, often they beat him back and baffle him. Most men yield to the stress of the current... Only here and there the stout, strong heart and vigorous arms struggle on toward ultimate success.
He who has achieved success has worked well, laughed often and loved much.
Here is the basic rule for winning success. Let's mark it in the mind and remember it. The rule is: Success depends on the support of other people. The only hurdle between you and what you want to be in is the support of other people.
Hold a picture of yourself long and steadily enough in your mind's eye and you will be drawn toward it. Picture yourself vividly as winning and that alone will contribute immeasurably to success. Great living starts with a picture, held in your imagination, of what you would like to do or be.
Honesty is the cornerstone of all success, without which confidence and ability to perform shall cease to exist.
Hope is a state of mind, not of the world. Hope, in this deep and powerful sense, is not the same as joy that things are going well, or willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously heading for .success, but rather an ability to work for something because it is good.
Hope is a state of mind, not of the world. Hope, in this deep and powerful sense, is not the same as joy that things are going well, or willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously heading for success, but rather an ability to work for something because it is good.
Hope is ever required of you just like love/faith/courage. I mean, a hope for a good day/good time never a bad day/bad time. A hope for an enviable success/future never a miserable success/future. A hope for a positive change never a negative change. A hope for an appointment never a disappointment and stuffs like that. Now all that implies, you've got to hope high/well all-round/all times.
Hope is synonymous with expectation. In the sense that, whatever you earnestly expect is what you will experience. So what has been your hope all these while? Whatever/however, you've got to hope for riches never poverty, hope for success never failure, hope for greatness never commonness, hope for salvation never damnation.
Hope is the companion of power, and mother of success; for who so hopes strongly has within him the gift of miracles.

Mimosa Letterpress Dinner Menu
This letterpress dinner menu features our Mimosa design, printed in blush and clover ink colors. This couple opted for a vertical, tea-length menu with rounded corners. We love this color palette, so fresh and perfect for spring or summer.
Esperanza Letterpress Wedding Invitations
Printed in cheerful fuchsia and persimmon inks, this set features our Esperanza letterpress wedding invitation design, new from our 2010 collection. The couple also opted for a bright fuchsia pocketfold and matching envelope liner. In addition to the invitations, we also printed their letterpress programs, escort cards and personalized thank you notes for a complete suite that is vibrant, colorful and perfectly celebratory.
Joy Letterpress Wedding Invitations
Printed in aquamarine and papaya inks, we love this bright and cheerful customization of our Joy letterpress wedding invitation design from our 2010 collection. The couple included a letterpress directions card, printed in 1-color letterpress in aquamarine, and a letterpress reception card detailing all of the information about the celebration following their wedding ceremony. From the bright color combination to the pretty pairing of fonts, we love everything about this invitation suite.
Ashwell Custom Letterpress Wedding Invitations
Our Ashwell letterpress wedding invitation design is another design from our 2010 collection so we especially loved printing this beautiful invitation suite. Showcasing a lovely custom monogram, this customization is a classic pairing of black ink on our ivory cotton paper with corner rounding for the perfect finishing touch. The coordinating letterpress coasters are a perfect addition to any reception and carry the design details seamlessly through the event from start to finish.
Nigella Letterpress Invitations, Thank You Cards + Escort Cards
This letterpress suite is a bright and cheerful customization of our Nigella design. All of the pieces including the letterpress wedding invitations, letterpress thank you cards and letterpress escort cards were printed in Cloud 9 and pewter inks. The final look is festive and modern with a bold floral motif that was perfect for this couple's Hawaii wedding last month.
Nantucket Letterpress Menus + Table Numbers
Our Nantucket letterpress wedding invitation design is a favorite with our brides and grooms and it is easy to see why – it's just so elegant and sophisticated, perfect for weddings of many styles. Recently we had the chance to print these letterpress reception menus and letterpress table numbers and just love how elegant and timeless they are.
Printed in Cloud 9 and black inks, the letterpress reception menus feature Spencerian hand calligraphy accents paired with a classic serif font for a look that is formal elegance at its best. The table numbers are a simple 1-color letterpress design printed in Cloud 9, left blank in the middle for a calligrapher to add the table name or number as appropriate. We love the touch of class and luxury letterpress reception menus and table numbers add to an event and these are right up there among our recent favorites.
Custom Letterpress Place Cards
From the perfect letterpress invitations to the place cards at the reception, we love working with couples to create really fun letterpress pieces that perfectly coordinate with the look and feel of their day. Custom letterpress place cards, which can also be used as escort cards, are the perfect way to tie in the colors and motifs of your invitations and are one of those finishing touches that just make an event really shine.
These cute little place cards feature our Joyful Yarrow design printed in pewter and yarrow inks. They are decidedly modern and playful, but still incredibly chic.
A much more formal take on the traditional place card, these pretty cards feature a custom calligraphy monogram printed in espresso ink. These letterpress place cards are the definition of elegant.
Dolce Letterpress Dinner Menus
Using our Dolce design and printed in powder blue and antique gold inks, these letterpress dinner menus are the definition of luxurious. Printed on our super thick 2-ply cotton paper, the end result is a gorgeous letterpress creation that any guest would be excited to see awaiting them at their seat. While we always love printing lovely letterpress wedding invitations, the opportunity to print really fabulous extras (letterpress menus, coasters, ceremony programs and so much more) is always a treat – these were no exception.
More Letterpress Coasters We Love
We're not kidding when we say we really really love printing letterpress coasters. They are both really fun and a bit unexpected and add a little touch of luxury to any event. These were printed in sophisticated black and pale gray inks with the couple's monogram that they carried throughout their event. How chic!
Make sure to check out these other custom letterpress coasters that we absolutely adore!
Custom Letterpress Coasters
Custom letterpress coasters are among our favorite things to print. There is truly no better way to add a special, unexpected and unique touch to your wedding, anniversary party or fiesta than with gorgeous letterpress coasters. We love when couples incorporate a special monogram or recipes for signature cocktails, but they're equally as fun when printed with motifs to match their letterpress wedding invitations. If you're looking for that perfect way to infuse your event with personal flair, letterpress coasters are a must have.
Printed in one color letterpress in our dusty pink ink, these coasters perfectly coordinate with the couple's Pavilion letterpress wedding invitations for their glamorous nuptials in Indonesia. They are both chic and oh so pretty.
These two-sided letterpress coasters are printed in fuchsia ink and feature the same design as the couple's Birds letterpress wedding invitations. Along with a recipe for the signature cocktail served at their wedding, the back of the coaster also features the custom pattern used for their envelope liners – a perfectly coordinated and really fun way to personalize their event.
These letterpress coasters feature a custom hand calligraphy monogram, making them truly one of a kind. Printed in cardinal ink, they could be equally as special for an anniversary party or graduation celebration as for a wedding.
Circolo 1 is one of our favorite designs, but we especially love it when printed as a great letterpress coaster. Printed here in antique gold ink, this coaster is nothing short of modern and hip, again featuring a recipe for the couple's signature cocktail. When we print great coasters like this, we know our couples' guests are in for a real treat!
You can see more custom letterpress coasters here.

This is a limed variety of the Hot Diggidy Dog Hot Original Pepper Sauce I've reviewed last week, it comes in the same glass 57ml shake-on bottle, and has very similar ingredients.
This sauce has a really nice fresh flavour and you can taste the two main ingredients (chilli, lime) separately throughout eating. It's not too sharp which some vinegar based sauces can be, and gives an overall really intriguing depth of flavour. I wonder if these chillies are fermented since the flavour is really quite deep and lasting.
Wow, this one really takes you by surprise! At first you are tasting the chilli and lime as ingredients themselves, then the vinegar, and BAM! the heat really latches on to your tongue with a sharp and long burn. The more you eat, the more the fieriness builds and doesn't leave your mouth for 3-4 minutes.
This sauces suits foods like burgers, hot dogs, slow cooked beef or pork, foods where you need the lime to cut through fatty meat and strong flavours. I can really vouch for it going well on Chilli Con Carne, the lime gives a great freshness to the dark chilli flavour.
I really want to make chicken wings with this sauce in the style of 'Buffalo Wings', I think it would really work well. And this would be the perfect chilli sauce for Mexican food such as tacos and fajitas, I must try that this weekend.
I've really enjoyed this sauce, I find that a lot of citrus flavoured sauces can taste artificial and sickly, but the natural lime in this one just gives the sauce a real freshness that is hard to get in vinegar based sauces.
I would happily recommend this sauce it's very versatile and I think you could shake it on to almost any food and be happy with the outcome. A refreshing change to other chill sauces out there, Hot Diggidy Dog Hot Limed Pepper Sauce is a cracking, zingy sauce which I urged you to try.
White Wine Vinegar, Chillies, Lime Juice
Sounds good, the last lime sauce had was nice but too sickly so I think I'll give this a go.
Have you tried any sauces by Baron? They are great worth reviewing.
Thanks Kaznanki, it's a nice natural tasting sauce with no sickly sweetness.
I've had Baron Hot Pepper Sauce in the past, I remember it being like Encona original but a lot hotter. I'm sure they're will be reviews of Baron sauces soon, it's quite hard to get hold of them though!

Since John Calipari has arrived in Lexington he has done nothing except bring in 4 #1 recruiting classes, and win a national title. Coach Cal has brought in the talents of John Wall, Anthony Davis, Brandon Knight, Demarcus Cousins and many other NBA players into Lexington.
The class of 2013 that he just recently put together is considered by everybody to be the "greatest recruiting class" in history of college basketball. While putting together that amazing class he also got one of the top players in the 2014 class in Karl Towns who was originally apart of the 2015 class, and was ranked #1 in that class.
Karl Towns was the first commit in 2014 for Kentucky, and he still stands as the only one as of now. Recently much has been made of Calipari offering a lot more kids than he usually does, and another came on Friday as he offered Justice Winslow. I didn't think Winslow would get a Kentucky offer, but Cal has went deeper in this class than ever before.
I don't understand the notion that Kentucky may not have the #1 class this year, but I do think Calipari will have to work a lot harder to get it unlike the last four seasons.
What do I think the offer of Winslow means for this class? Nothing. I just think Calipari really likes the way he plays however like I said earlier I didn't think he would get a UK offer. Also it has been rumored that Winslow would team up with Jones, and Jahlil Okafor in college which would be an incredible package deal.
Does it mean Kentucky is in better shape than most people believe with Jones, and Okafor? Maybe, but most people still think they all 3 land at Duke.
Kentucky will have one of the best classes in the nation, and I honestly think they still end up with the #1 class for the 5th straight season.

DETROIT, MI - NOVEMBER 22: Head coach Jim Schwartz of the Detroit Lions looks on against the Cleveland Browns at Ford Field on November 22, 2009 in Detroit, Michigan. The Lions came from behind to defeat the Browns 38-37. (Photo by Joe Robbins/Getty Images)
Jim Schwartz and his Detroit Lions staff will be coaching the South team in the Senior Bowl on Jan. 26 in Mobile, Ala. It is the second time in three years that Schwartz and company will coach in the all-star game for college seniors. In 2010, they led the North to a 31-13 victory. Schwartz said earlier this week that his staff would "embrace the opportunity" to work the Senior Bowl again. "I think there is some insight involved in getting to know those guys over a course of the week," he said. "It can confirm some of our scouts' evaluations. It can also maybe give us a different perspective on some other guys. Maybe we get a little bit more time with some other guys. "One of the guys that came out of that a few years ago for us was (running back) Joique Bell. We had him for a whole week down there. Our experience with him that week helped get him here (after Bell had stints with four other teams in 2010 and 2011). He knew our coaching staff and we knew a little bit about him, not just what we saw on film. "I think we're only seeing the beginning of Joique Bell." Dennis Allen and his Oakland Raiders staff will coach the North team. The Senior Bowl practices and game will be televised by the NFL Network.

Throwing a handfull of flour in your girls face just before you ejaculate.
The Tokyo Sandblaster all started with my Ex. She pissed me off one day, so later that night while I was working her from behind, I told her to turn around and take a shot to her face. When she did, I whipped a handfull of flower in her face. She happened to be Japanese

A Tokyo Sandblaster is a scatological activity developed by Conan O'Brien for the Conan Show. It is defined as when one person has diarrhea, they place their ass close to their partner's face while firmly pressing their butt cheeks together. They then release their bowels, effectively blasting their partner in the face with a high pressure stream of shit, forcing them to squint and as a result creating the appearance of Asian features.
1. After Conan O'Brien's new show "Conan" Tokyo Sandblasted the shit out of the Tonight Show's ratings, he couldn't help but notice the shit running down his partners face bore a striking resemblance to the comedic stylings of Jay Leno.
2. Jay Leno enjoys Tokyo Sandblasters.
3. Conan is the shit, Jay Leno is a piece of shit.

WWE Unforgiven Preview
: 18th September 2005
: Ford Center, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
World Heavyweight Championship: Steel Cage Match
Batista© vs Kane
At Summerslam these two fierce rivals squared off in a highly tense, highly emotional confrontation that saw Shawn Michaels as the Special Guest Referee and also as a determining factor in the champion retaining his title. This Sunday however there will be no third party. It is simply one on one, man to man, Animal versus Monster as these two bitter rivals enter inside a fifteen foot high Steel Cage!!
The finish to their Summerslam encounter was controversial as the impact of the Heartbreak Kid was evident and with that obvious to everybody, Kane felt entitled to a rematch and Batista wasnt gonna wait long to hand it to him. The Big Red Machine has made taking the Animal down and taking his title with it his only focus in recent weeks and this rivalry has got extremely heated, extremely fast. Before Summerslam we witnessed first hand just what these two were capable of as Kane sickeningly Chokeslammed the Animal off the stage, breaking Batistas ribs but since Summerslam things have only escalated.
Weve seen Batista Spear Kane off the stage, weve seen Kane Chokeslam Batista through the announce table, weve witnessed these two fight their way through the crowd, fight their way across the entire arena and this past Monday night on Raw we saw a devastating Batistabomb off the stage that left both men torn apart. With nothing able to contain these two men, the question now lies, will a Steel Cage even be enough? With nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, two men trapped inside the confines of an unforgiving Steel Cage, just what brutality will these two dish out as they do battle for the richest prize in the game? One things for sure, carnage awaits in Oklahoma City.
Four on One Handicap Match:
(Shawn Michaels must eliminate all four members of the Entity to win)
The Arabian Entity vs Shawn Michaels
Recent months have proved to be the toughest of Shawn Michaels career and this Sunday, it doesnt get any easier. The Heartbreak Kid has been under the control of Raw General Manager Eric Bischoff since back at Vengeance and Bischoff is intent that Unforgiven be Michaels last day in the sun.
Summerslam saw the Showstopper defy Eric Bischoffs orders when he counted Kane down, allowing Batista to retain the World Title and unsurprisingly it did not sit well with the General Manager. The night after Summerslam saw Bischoff vow that Michaels would regret ever crossing the boss and Bischoff wasnt wrong. Michaels took on Kane in the main event only to be heinously ambushed by the dangerous Arabian Entity who would leave Michaels a broken and bloody mess. We learned that the Entity were in fact in this for themselves with their leader Muhammad Hassan claiming to have seen and heard enough from Michaels and his faith. What followed was a scathing verbal assault on America and the treatment of Arab Americans in this country with Hassan claiming that it caused him to lose all hope, all belief, all his faith and that he was gonna do to Michaels what this country had done to him.
Monday night on Raw saw one of the most vile and brutal assaults in WWE history as the Entity laid waste to Michaels, leaving him unconscious and fallen in a pool of his own blood. With a mountain to climb already this Sunday night, will Michaels even be in a position to defend himself? With Bischoff and the Entity fighting the cause together, the goal is simple Sunday night, take Shawn Michaels faith and take Shawn Michaels career. With the numbers game against the Heartbreak Kid, with the wounds far from healed, is there anything Shawn Michaels can do to prevent the worst from happening this Sunday night? Will the Entity hit the jackpot? Will the boss get his wish? Or will the Showstopper pull off the impossible?
Triple Threat #1 Contenders Match:
Edge vs Christian vs Chris Jericho
Sunday night will see three of Canadas finest do battle for the chance at a World Title opportunity, something which all three men believe they deserve but only ONE will walk out victorious and there is no doubting the pressure is well and truly on.
Christian scored the biggest victory of his career back at Summerslam when he shocked the world in defeating Ric Flair and ending the legendary career of the Nature Boy. With Flair beaten and now out of sight, Captain Charisma believed he was next in line for a title opportunity but he was not the only one. Edge also walked out victorious at Summerslam, though it wasnt without the helping hand of his Money in the Bank briefcase as he clocked Chris Jericho with it to knock Y2J off and end his title aspirations or so he thought. Jericho would take issue with what went down and claimed if Edge was gonna get the World Title shot, so was he, claiming that had it not been for Edges briefcase, hed be the one holding Money in the Bank. With all three men having extremely viable reasons to a title shot, Eric Bischoff settled it, all three men competing at Unforgiven with that World Title shot up for grabs, something none of the three feel they can miss out on.
Chris Jericho was the first ever Undisputed Champion but since then Y2J has failed to taste the gold, Edge and Christian claim this is Jerichos last chance to reach the top of the mountain again, will Jericho rise to the challenge and take it? Christian has never held a World Title, hes never even had an opportunity but Christian claims hes a new man, a changed man and that the win over Flair at Summerslam is a new beginning, will he prove just that? Or will Captain Charisma fall at the final hurdle? Edge is the only man who knows this isnt his last chance. The Rated R Superstar already has a guaranteed title opportunity whenever he wants, right the way up until Wrestlemania but he claims that to be the ace up his sleeve, his back up call and that just because he holds that contract, it doesnt mean he should miss out on what he deserves. Will it be Mr.MITB who earns himself a double chance or will Money in the Bank prove to be his final hope?
WWE Intercontinental Championship:
Shelton Benjamin©
w/Charlie Haas
vs Mark Jindrak
w/William Regal
It was jubilation for Shelton Benjamin at Summerslam when he finally toppled his long time rival Muhammad Hassan to claim back the Intercontinental Championship but that jubilation has been short lived and come Unforgiven Benjamins reign could come to a damning halt as he goes toe to toe with a man who is on the roll of his career, Mark Jindrak.
Jindrak has been straight up dominant since aligning with the wily William Regal and the combination of Regals nous alongside Jindraks power have been mighty effective, seeing the Protégé knock off Big Show at Summerslam in impressive style. Benjamin meanwhile may be holding the Intercontinental Title but its not been all plain sailing for Benjamin, most notably in his relationship with tag team partner, Charlie Haas. Haas has stood by his partner, despite Benjamins reluctance to go after the Tag Team Titles, instead focusing on his singles career, something that Haas hasnt been fond of but has accepted, although not without tension arising. Haas has continued to air his grievances to Benjamin and the champion has vowed to bring their Tag Team back to the forefront of his mind soon enough but the question is, how long will Charlie Haas wait?
Always one to try and cause unrest, William Regal has already fiddled in the Worlds Greatest Tag Teams division. This past Monday on Raw saw Regal confront Haas backstage, telling Haas that if he wants his partner back, hes gonna have to see him lose the Intercontinental Title. Regal challenged Haas to make an impact of his own and to think about it. Haas thought about it for all of a few seconds, not taking kindly to Regals claims and vowing he would be in his partners corner this Sunday and he would see him victorious. Will Haas really have his partners back Sunday night? Or will the growing friction between the two only further? And is this the night Mark Jindraks roll leads him to championship gold? So many questions for this one, so few answers.
World Tag Team Championships:
Dudley Boyz© vs The Platform to Perfection
Ken Doane and Nick Nemeth have made quite the impact since debuting on Monday Night Raw and at Summerslam they went one better as they became number one contenders to the World Tag Team Titles. This Sunday night the young Perfectionists get their opportunity but it will not come easy as they take on the veteran champions, the Dudley Boyz!!
The Dudleyz returned to the WWE at Backlash and instantly captured the Tag Team Titles, going on to defend them successfully against the Basham Brothers and Entity members, Sonjay Dutt and Daivari but its a whole different ball game this Sunday night as they take on two men who are unknown when it comes to title matches. Doane and Nemeth have certainly impressed thus far but when the pressures on and the titles are up for grabs, will the PTP be able to step up and take them? Doane and Nemeth claim that the Dudleyz days are done, however Bubba and D-Von simply believe the Perfectionists are covering up their biggest fear failure.
There is however, a third party involved in this and that third party are Doug and Danny Basham. The Bashams believe that the title opportunity should be theirs and have continued to challenge Doane and Nemeth to make this a Triple Threat match, something the Perfectionists have refused. With Doane and Nemeths continued refusals, the Bashams have vowed to take matters into their own hands this Sunday night by promising theyll be in Oklahoma and they will see the Perfectionists there. What have the Bashams got in mind? Are Doane and Nemeths title hopes not just under threat from the champions but from the outside also? Or will it simply all be mind games from the former Cabinet members and the platform is indeed provided for perfection?
Mr.Kennedys Open Challenge:
Mr Kennedy vs ?
He is arrogant, he is talented and he is undefeated, he is Mr.Kennedy and this Sunday night he is hell bent on finally facing a challenge.
Since debuting on Monday Night Raw, Kennedy has demanded competition but so far hes faced anything but that. Kennedy claims to be the Game Changer Raw needs, the Game Changer the WWE needs and that he wants to face and he wants to beat the very best they have to offer. Raws General Manager Eric Bischoff has yet to give Kennedy what he wants, instead all Kennedy has faced have been in his eyes, joke acts with the particular thorn in his side being the every colourful, Eugene.
Eugene has tried his hand at being several different superstars, including Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart and Stone Cold Steve Austin, yet no matter what persona hes failed to find a way to win. Will Eugene again be the man to step up to Kennedy at Unforgiven? Will it possibly be a fresh face that bursts onto the scene to accept the challenge? The main question for Kennedy is, will the competition he craves step up to the plate?
Womens Championship:
Victoria© vs Lita
The dominant path of destruction Victoria has been on will look to continue this Sunday night as Lita at long last gets her chance at not just the Womens Championship but also at retribution.
This match was all set for Summerslam, Victoria having taken out Trish Stratus, breaking the blonde beautys ankle, Lita stepped up to the devilish diva and laid claim to a title shot, one which she was granted. However, Victoria showed her sadistic side once again, ambushing Lita backstage before launching a sickening assault on Litas ankle, slamming a door against it, looking to do to her exactly what she did to Trish Stratus. She succeeded as the title match was cancelled and we learned that Lita suffered a sprained ankle ruling her out of action. Trouble for Victoria was, that action would only be a matter of weeks rather than months as Lita returned, shocking the champion and she returned with a vengeance, Victorias title in her sights.
This Sunday Lita gets her long awaited chance. Will the Daredevil diva once again take home the gold and reign supreme? Or will Victoria once again prove why shes the most dominant diva in not just the WWE right now, but the world?

~Monday Night Raw~
May 7th, 2007
Bryce Jordan Center
State College, Pennsylvania
Last week, Linda McMahon made an announcement that shocked the WWE to it's very foundations. The civil war threatening to tear apart Monday Night Raw is going to be settled one way or another inside one of the most famous matches in wrestling history... War Games.
With the WWE Board of Directors again unable to come to a decision as to whether it should be Vince or Linda McMahon who should be granted control of Monday Night Raw, Linda interrupted her husband to personally deliver the Board's recommendation, that a War Games Match at the upcoming pay per view would settle the issue once and for all. With Vince and Bobby Lashley caught off guard by the announcement, John Cena was able to clear the ring, meaning the early advantage went to Team Linda and it's captain. Tonight, Cena has promised to announce the second member of Team Linda, something that Mr. McMahon will no doubt be very interested in hearing... and perhaps even upstaging as he begins to form his own team.
Claudio Cesaro made a rather shocking debut on Raw last week, interrupting the WWE Champion, Rob Van Dam, and challenging Van Dam to a WWE Title Match. Ever the fighting champion, Van Dam of course accepted, and seemed well on the way to victory until Shawn Michaels, the man who was victorious at Backlash against Triple H, made his intentions clear. Appearing on the stage during the match, Michaels echoed his words from earlier in the evening... namely that he wants the WWE Championship back in his possession. The distraction would cost Van Dam though, as when he dropped out of the ring to confront Michaels, Cesaro attacked from behind, giving him a countout victory over the WWE Champion in his first match. Tonight, Van Dam teams with young guns The Straight Edge Saints in six man action as they face Mike Knox and The Redneck Wrecking Crew. Van Dam will no doubt be determined to lead his team to victory, but just what will he have to say with regards to Michaels, Cesaro, and the WWE Championship.
The first three members of the Raw half of the King of the Ring advanced last week, with Carlito, Jeff Hardy and CM Punk all making it through to the last 16. Tonight, three more qualifiers take place, with Jerry Lawler dropping the headseat to take on Chris Masters, Harry Smith squaring off with the Intercontinental Champion, Kenny Dykstra, while Shelton Benjamin goes against Super Crazy. After ditching Johnny Nitro last week, Masters and Melina now seem set to focus their sights on becoming King of the Ring, while Dykstra will no doubt be looking over his shoulder for Carlito, who attacked the Intercontinental Champion during an interview last week. It promises to be a fascinating night as the Raw bracket continues to shape up as we head ever closer to Saturday Night's Main Event.
And finally, having issued an open challenge last week, just who will respond to Beth Phoenix and face her for the Women's Championship? Will it be former champion Mickie James? Or will she heed Phoenix's warning and stay far away from Monday Night Raw? All this and more, tonight on Raw!
Confirmed Matches:
Rob Van Dam and The Straight Edge Saints vs. Mike Knox and The Redneck Wrecking Crew
King of the Ring Qualifying Matches Round of 32
Chris Masters vs. Jerry Lawler
Harry Smith vs. Kenny Dykstra
Shelton Benjamin vs. Super Crazy
Beth Phoenix's Open Challenge for the Women's Championship
Plus! John Cena will announce the second member of Team Linda, we'll find out who Mr. McMahon has lined up for his squad, and we'll hear from Claudio Cesaro and Shawn Michaels!

What do people think of this format for a new diary, based of WWE 13?
The crowd is hyped up for this post Wrestlemania edition of RAW, as Jerry Lawler
and Jim Ross introduce us to the show, but they are inturrupted by some familiar music.
When the NEW WWE champion, John Cena, comes out towards the ring. He starts to
speak, he says That last night, The Rock nearly cost him the WWE Championship.
He says the next time he sees the Rock, it's on.
Speak of the Devil, it's The Rock! Last nights Wrestlemania Guest Host. He tells John
Cena that when they do collide, it will be HUGE. Cena says he wants the Rock, right
here, right now. The Rock declines the challenge saying it has to take place on a bigger
stage. He makes a deal with Cena. If he lets him choose Cena's challenger for Extreme
Rules, He will sign on for his first match in seven years: John Cena Vs The Rock, WWE
Championship, Summerslam! Cena agrees, and they shake hands, but Rock pulls him in!
Rock Bottom, Rock Bottom! The crowd goes wild!
The Rock celebrates with Cena's world title, and shouts 'Summerslam, Boots to Asses!'
As we go to commercial.

RAW and Eric Bischoff certainly brung their A-Game to WrestleMania, and one example of this would be the third meeting, between two of the biggest icons in the history of our business: The Rock, and 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin. The Rock 'guaran-damn-teed' victory in his third meeting with Austin on the Grandest Stage of 'em All - and he lived up to his promise. Rock is scheduled to open up tonight's broadcast, and one has to wonder where he goes from here? And with 'The Texas Rattlesnake' scheduled to be in the building, will we see these two arch rivals come face-to-face, one more time?
Also at WrestleMania, 'The Cerebral Assassin'; 'The Game', Triple H, successfully defended the World Heavyweight Championship, against a hungry challenger, in Booker T. Booker threw every single last drop of blood sweat and tears at the Champion, but the experience and the numbers game proved too overwhelming for the challenger. Both men WILL be in The Key Arena for RAW, so one would think that these two are more than likely to butt heads. Is this the end between these two great warriors, or is this just the beginning?
In what was a serious contender for Match of the Night, 'Mr. WrestleMania' himself, Shawn Michaels, was able to barely see off the challenge of 'Y2J' Chris Jericho. It seemed as if this match was never-ending, before a quick roll-up from the nifty Michaels got the 1-2-3. However, Jericho would get the last word, as after offering what appeared to be a sincere handshake, and after embracing with his once idol - Jericho would deliver a low blow to 'The Showstopper' leaving him helpless in the middle of the ring. 'The Ayatollah of Rock N' Rollah' is scheduled to face off against the inexperienced Maven, in what should be a fascinating battle. Will Jericho be back to winning ways, or will Maven pull off a major upset? And, will Shawn Michaels have any say in the outcome?
Also on RAW; Kane and RVD look for a measure of revenge, as they take on the man who cost them the World Tag Team Championships: The Dudley Boyz; The NEW Women's Champion, Trish Stratus battles former Champion Victoria; And after being left off the biggest show of the year, Scott Steiner is able to take out his frustrations on the young, and up-coming Chris Nowinski.
All this, and SO MUCH MORE, live on Monday Night RAW; 8/7CT, on TNN!

The Unveiled Beauty
At first this blog was about me, and what I am doing in my life, but now I have felt in my heart to share the word to girls out there that feel discouraged in the society that we live in.
Sadly not many girls have the guidance and the love that I grew up with so I hope this will reach out to those girls who are in need to be reminded that they are beautiful inside and out, God made every individual in HIS image, we as children of God were made so special that no matter where in the world there will be NO ONE like YOU! <3
Posted 3 years ago
So I thought long and hard about how to find a good reason on having random people asking me my nationality and them thinking im indian, islander, south african etc. and I guess the only outcome I can think of is that I'm blessed to have the face of many nationalities/cultures. So maybe thats a good reason and a purpose that I can blend in with Indians, Islanders, etc. -Just sayin-

In the last week the US Supreme Court has acted in two religious freedom cases (Burwell v. Hobby Lobby and Wheaton College v. Burwell) in favor of conservative Christian plaintiffs seeking exemptions from the contraceptive coverage mandate of the Affordable Care Act. Liberals have gone nuts, wildly predicting the end of the world as we know it. While I share their distress about the effects of these decisions on women, I want to talk about religion. I believe that it is time for some serious self-reflection on the part of liberals. To the extent that these decisions are about religion (and there are certainly other reasons to criticize the reasoning in these opinions), they reveal the rotten core at the heart of all religious freedom laws. The positions of both liberals and conservatives are affected by this rottenness but I speak here to liberals.
Religion & American politics
The impossibility of religious freedomposted by Winnifred Fallers Sullivan
What has been will be againposted by Omri Elisha
Marcia Pally's incisive essay on "the new evangelicals" highlights a relatively small but growing population of white evangelicals who appear to be embracing broader, less conservative visions of the common good, and public policy views (at least partially) more in line with Democratic politics than their recent forebears. While her descriptions presumably are not limited to those who necessarily call themselves "new evangelicals," she does invoke the work and ideas of public evangelicals who clearly self-identify as such. This points to an interesting observation worth considering here: to assume the mantle of newness is to make an ideological statement as well as a historical claim.
Does fragmentation equal change?posted by James S. Bielo
Marcia Pally's post tracks the important fact that contemporary American evangelical social and political engagement is fragmenting. She rightly observes that such fragmenting is not historically novel, and is a self-consciously critical response to the power of the Religious Right.
To read of "robust polyphony" among evangelicals was especially welcome to me, as I addressed this phenomenon in a recent ethnography, Emerging Evangelicals (NYU Press, 2011). As a cultural anthropologist, I explored the identities fashioned, practices performed, histories claimed, institutions created, and critiques waged among evangelicals influenced by the Emerging Church movement. Pally's astute analysis returned me to a question I stopped short of fully developing: does fragmentation equal change?
Remembering a different evangelicalismposted by John Schmalzbauer
Celebrating the ideological diversity of contemporary evangelicalism, Marcia Pally heralds the advent of a religious non-right. Shattering stereotypes of a monolithic conservatism, she performs a valuable service.
As Pally notes in her essay, this isn't the first time evangelicals have hoisted the banner of social reform. Recalling the activism of nineteenth-century American Protestants, she sees the "new evangelicals" as their contemporary successors.
You don't have to go back to the nineteenth century to find evangelical progressives. Like Jim Wallis and Ron Sider, many got their start in the 1970s, building institutions that are still around today (Sojourners, Evangelicals for Social Action, Bread for the World).
Global reflexposted by David R. Swartz
As both Marcia Pally and David Gushee note, there is no historical reason why evangelicalism should identify with a single political orientation. There is also no global reason. Research on evangelicals in Asia, Africa, and Latin America is uncovering startling political diversity. Paul Freston, one of the most informed scholars on the subject, dismisses "facile equations of evangelicalism with conservative stances." Historical and contemporary conditions, he writes, demonstrate "the distance of these actors—indeed, total independence of these actors—from the American evangelical right."
A complex storyposted by Heidi Unruh
The American religious landscape is being altered by what Mark Noll calls "a more pluralistic evangelicalism than has ever existed before."
In the movement Marcia Pally describes, evangelicalism is no longer synonymous with white evangelicals. Conservative black churches have long held a pro-life, pro-marriage ethic in balance with energetic social activism. Immigrant churches, the fastest-growing segment of Christianity, tend to be conservative theologically while progressive on issues like poverty and immigration. The increasingly influential Hispanic community naturally aligns with this movement. As Samuel Rodriguez puts it: "Where Billy Graham meets Dr. King, that's where you will see the Hispanic Christian community emerge."
Are "new evangelicals" a new phenomenon or a reversion to type?posted by John Milbank
In her piece, Marcia Pally continues her most commendable attempt to describe the diversity of evangelical political opinion in the United States, and to provide a more nuanced account even of the evangelical right. As she suggests, the core of all evangelical political outlooks tends to be a belief in the importance of individual virtuous action and collaboration. This by no means betokens an entirely uncritical embrace of neoliberalism; the alliance with the latter has probably been forged by a horror at the (historically novel) libertarian cultural mores of the contemporary left. In actual practice much evangelical social action is more concerned with the common good than is the general run of more recent GOP attitudes, and it is, I think, partially a reflection on the political implications of this that has, as Pally notes, led many younger evangelicals to move leftwards.
Southern Baptists' hands-on approach to changing the worldposted by Bob Smietana
On the evening of Good Friday 2013, several thousand young evangelicals will file into The Church at Brook Hill in Birmingham, Alabama, one of the largest Southern Baptist congregations in that Red State. They will open up their Bibles and then for the next six hours listen as a slender, boyish-looking pastor walks them through long passages of Scripture verse by verse and tells them to forsake material goods and self-indulgence and devote their lives to serving Jesus. All around the country other gatherings of young people will tune in by simulcast. David Platt, author of Radical: Taking Back Your Faith from the American Dream, is not a typical celebrity pastor. He does no book tours, doesn't drive a Bentley, seems to have no opinions about politics, and hardly ever has time for even a brief interview with reporters. And he's not the stereotypical Southern Baptist power broker.
The riddle of the middleposted by John Ashmen
Baptist minister and sociologist Tony Campolo was arguably the first to send shock waves through the ranks of the religious right two decades ago when he responded to a question about his political leaning—Democrat or Republican? His reply: "It depends on the issue."
Fundamentalists scorned him, calling him an apostate, but his assertion gave a new generation of evangelicals permission to scrutinize political platforms and move to the middle. The middle seemed to make more sense to younger followers of Jesus who were hearing and heeding calls to humanitarian causes at home and abroad.
A return to the original agenda of Christposted by Joel Hunter
I am one of those evangelicals who, in Professor Marcia Pally's words, have "left the right." As a former President-elect of the Christian Coalition of America, I resigned that position and all other positions that would box me into ideologies that were becoming insidiously narrow and negative. As a 64-year-old pastor, I may not yet be representative of my generation or profession in my political openness, but I am one of a growing number of white evangelicals who are making biblically-based decisions on an issue-by-issue basis, in a wider circle of conversations than ever. We are put off by the "hardening of the categories" that is stifling not only intellectually, but also spiritually.

I never went to the moon. I never even wanted to go there. So you can just stop talking about how "we went to the moon" or how "we sent men to the moon."
If other people want to go to the moon or to send someone else there, I have no objection provided they do not force me to contribute any part of the funds needed to pay for the project.
Remember, however, that no matter how impressive an engineering feat someone's going to the moon might be, it indicates absolutely nothing about "our" ability to solve pressing economic, social, or political problems. To suppose that it does shows that one has no real understanding of the nature of such problems.

If you didn't know, the Brooklyn Nets have been quietly going about their business sans Kevin Garnett for about a month now. Garnett hasn't played in a game for the Nets since Feb. 27th, and Brooklyn hasn't missed a beat.
Since Garnett went out with a back injury, the Nets have patched their way to an 11-4 mark. They haven't really missed him simply because Mason Plumlee has done more than enough to fill-in for the emotional veteran. In the last 15 games, Plumlee is averaging 7.3 points and six rebounds per game.
And with the way the Nets have been playing as of late, if appears that Nets coach Jason Kidd is leaning on keeping the lineup as-is — at least for the time being.
In fact, Kidd said prior to the tipoff against the Cavs that Garnett doesn't have to play again in the regular season to start the playoffs in shape or in rhythm.
"He's played this game. It doesn't change. If he gets to play before the playoffs, that'll be great. If he gets to practice before the playoffs, that'll be great. And if he had no practice or no games, for him being on the floor (in the playoffs) would help us dramatically. So however you look at it, him playing with us will help us. And game shape? He plays at a high level so he's going to get tired no matter what."
However, as we all know, the NBA playoffs is a veteran man's game. Garnett will definitely help the Nets, if he's healthy. The only question that remains is if he'll disrupt with the team's chemistry if he's just thrown back into the fire. That's just something Kidd will have to gamble with down the line.
Right now, the best interest of the team is for Garnett to get healthy, and finish the season with the best record as possible. Ironically, both of those consist of sitting KG.
