On the heels of the president's 2013 budget proposal that revealed relatively flat federal IT spending, the Obama administration remains determined to push innovation in a fiscally responsible way, according to federal CIO Steven VanRoekel.
In a Feb. 13 conference call with reporters, VanRoekel said federal IT spending has remained stagnant since Obama took office. Before 2008, federal IT spending grew at a yearly rate of approximately 7 percent, or roughly 4.5 percent when adjusted for inflation.
The current decline in federal IT spending is linked to a major drop at agencies such as Commerce, Energy and Defense. At DOD, the decrease is partly due to modernization and efficiency efforts, such as the $300 million in savings that data center consolidation has achieved, VanRoekel said.
DOD will also begin to see significant reductions over the next decade, and agencies will prepare for these cuts by investing in more agile and innovative IT, he added.
The Treasury, Human and Health Services and Veterans Affairs departments will see the most IT spending under the president's plan. The 2013 budget proposal for Treasury asks for a nearly 7 percent increase from 2012, to nearly $14 billion. Some of that investment will go toward modernizing business to improve citizens' access to tax filings and related resources, Van Roekel said.
The HHS budget also reflects the need to provide citizens better access to health care programs as well as upgrades to IT systems. At VA, the budget increases reflect investments in IT to support the Blue Button initiative, a joint venture between VA and DOD to provide veterans easy access to their medical information.
In line with the administration's sweeping commitment to cut waste, the budget also emphasizes maximizing return on the government's IT investment, VanRoekel said. Another high-priority area is improving cybersecurity for government networks and systems: The Homeland Security Department, for example, will invest more than $200 million to support continuous monitoring.
The administration also plans to expand its TechStat reviews to continue eliminating duplicative projects and identify those behind schedule or over budget. Since its launch in 2010, TechStat has saved more than $4 billion, VanRoekel said.
Another area of focus will be to expand efforts to bring in fresh IT talent into the government. "The fastest way to evolve the culture around government IT is to introduce new people into the mix," VanRoekel said, adding this can be done via the Entrepreneurs in Residence program, which rotates private-sector talent into government for short-term skills exchange. Recruiting IT SWAT teams will also help government with troubled projects, VanRoekel said.
In the next six months, the administration also plans to start hiring graduates of the presidential Technology Fellows Program, which VanRoekel launched in October 2011. That effort aims to prepare IT and computer science professionals for federal IT careers through a paid two-year fellowship.

Re: WCW 2001- The Trio Ownership
WCW Wednesday Nitro Preview- September 19, 2001
World Championship Wrestling will host its next primetime edition of Wednesday Nitro on NBC this Wednesday night at 8 PM EST from the Von Braun Center, in Huntsville, Alabama! Join The Voice of WCW Tony Schiavone and The Professor Mike Tenay for another two-hour, action packed edition of World Championship Wrestling!
Its been hyped as one of the greatest editions of Nitro ever, and it will most likely turn out to be true! Two PPV-sized matches have been signed for the show, and they will both be classics! First off, Booker T will defend the WCW World Heavyweight Championship against nWo member Curt Hennig! And in the main event, Ric Flair takes on Jeff Jarrett in a steel cage! Booker T is one of the men who has been locked in a bitter feud with the New World Order, and his target is Curt Hennig, a man who returned to World Championship Wrestling on Nitros primetime debut with NBC, back on September 4! Hennig jumped Booker T, assaulting him after he retained the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. Last week, Booker T challenged Hennig to a match, and Hennig accepted after announcing the World Title would be on the line! One match is about gold, but the other is about pride, careers, and the future! The Chosen One Jeff Jarrett and The Nature Boy Ric Flair have been locked in a bitter war ever since May. The two battled at Slamboree, and then again on the August 15th edition of Wednesday Nitro. Flair was victorious both times, although the second victory was by disqualification. Tonight, the two lock horns one more time, but in a new atmosphere, the steel cage! However, there are special stipulations for the outcome of this match. If Ric Flair defeats Jeff Jarrett in the steel cage, then WCW will get to take on the New World Order in the War Games! However, if Jeff Jarrett wins, then Ric Flair must leave WCW, forever! Its going to be a very personal, and physical, fight on Wednesday Nitro, so make sure you tune into see it!
Thats not the only factor about this edition of Wednesday Nitro thats going to make it so special. For the first time since June 12, 2000, Hulk Hogan will be involved with Nitro! Hulk Hogan, who last appeared with the company at Bash at the Beach, in July 2000, will me live from his home in Tampa Bay, Florida, via satellite! Two weeks ago, Ric Flair announced that Hulk Hogan was coming back to WCW, and to fight the New World Order. After Bischoff and the nWo tried to call The Nature Boys bluff last week, Booker T announced that Hogan will be live, via satellite! What will Hogan have to say!? Its not something a WCW, or Hogan, fan wants to miss, so be sure to tune into Nitro this week!
Also, Shane Helms takes on Super crazy in a non-title match! The Young Lions, Chuck Palumbo and Sean OHaire take on Totally Buff! Plus appearances by KroniK, the New World Order, Arn Anderson, Cal Anderson, and Sting! Nitro promises to be an exciting showcase of professional wrestling that you do not want to miss! Be sure to tune into NBC this Wednesday night at 8 PM EST to catch all the action!

Looks like a promising Nitro even though all the big matches are pretty predictable but I'm sure you're gonna make it good like you always do. I haven't given you a review for your last 2 Nitro's due to being occupied with my own BTB but I'll definitely review this Nitro

World Championship Wrestling
Wednesday Nitro
Von Braun Center, Huntsville, Alabama
September 19, 2001
Tony Schiavone:
Ladies and gentleman, welcome to Wednesday Nitro! Im Tony Schiavone, alongside me, as always, is The Professor Mike Tenay! Professor, youre excited; you know Im excited. Tonight is going to be the biggest, and greatest, night in the history of professional wrestling!
Mike Tenay:
Its going to be one heck of a Wednesday Nitro, that much is true, Tony! Tonight, Booker T defends the WCW World Heavyweight Title against nWo member Curt Hennig! Plus, The Chosen One Jeff Jarrett takes on The Nature Boy Ric Flair in a steel cage match!
Tony Schiavone:
A 16-foot tall steel cage!
Mike Tenay:
Its a big cage, that much is true. Two men will battle inside the cage, and the only way to win, is to pin your opponent or make them submit! This match isnt just about the pride of beating the other man though! If Ric Flair beats Jarrett in the steel cage, then WCW and the New World Order will have to do battle in the War Games at Fall Brawl! But if Jeff Jarrett wins, then The Nature Boy must leave WCW forever!
Tony Schiavone:
There is so much riding on this match, Tenay! The War Games is a match that Ric Flair and WCW have always wanted to have against the nWo! However, if WCW loses Ric Flair tonight, then WCW is losing the best wrestler to ever step into the ring, and its leader!
Mike Tenay:
Its gong to be a big night, so lets get the action started, with Shane Helms taking on The Insane Luchadore Super Crazy in a non-title match!
Match One
Shane Helms vs. Super Crazy
Non-Title Singles Match
What a shocker. The night opens up with wrestling instead of a promo. And I mean real wrestling, not crap wrestling WCW has been known to put out at times. Helms and Crazy have a solid singles match, putting on a very good aerial display. However, throughout the match, the two seemed to be holding back, not giving their all. Helms and Crazy went back and forth through the air, before settling down a bit, working on the canvas with a more mat-based style. Helms almost picked up the victory with a shining wizard, same with Super Crazy and a springboard leg drop from the second rope. However, in the end, Helms got Crazy locked in position for that deadly Vertebreaker. Uh oh, Crazy! Helms goes for the Vertebreaker, but Crazy rolls out of the maneuver! That was a nice little spot of athleticism! Helms then went for a hurricanrana, only for Crazy to reverse it in mid-move with a sit-out power bomb. With Helms down, Crazy hit the Trifecta Moonsault for the clean, upset victory! After the match, Super Crazy celebrates, while Shane Helms, looks completely shocked. His mouth is agape, and he runs his fingers through his hair. He cant believe he lost to Crazy, in only Crazys 2nd WCW match.
Super Crazy def. Shane Helms at 8:49
Star Quality:
Tony Schiavone:
Mike Tenay:
What an upset by Super Crazy! Super Crazy wrestled in just his second match for World Championship Wrestling, and he cleanly pins Shane Helms, the man who has been the Cruiserweight Champion for over six months now! Who would have thought this would happen to start off Nitro!?
Tony Schiavone:
We all knew tonight would be the biggest night in Nitros history, but its turning out to be one of the most surprising nights too!
Mike Tenay:
Big and surprising, indeed! There are definitely going to be more surprises in store because remember,
Hulk Hogan
will be having an interview, via satellite, from his home in Tampa Bay, Florida.
Tony Schiavone:
And speaking of interviews, let us send you backstage where Mean Gene Okerlund is standing by with the man who will face Booker T later on in the broadcast for the WCW World Heavyweight Title, Curt Hennig!
The Perfect Hype
*Hey, theres Mean Gene, ready to fire away those questions! Curt Hennig is standing next to Gene-O, dressed in a black and white singlet, chewing his gum, and looking completely ready and cocky for his match tonight.*
Gene Okerlund:
Thank you, Tony! I am standing by with Curt Hennig, and Curt, opportunity is knocking on your door tonight!
Curt Hennig:
Opportunity is knocking on my door, huh Gene? Not quite. Gene, I dont wait for opportunity to come knockin on my door! Curt Hennig walks up to opportunity, and grabs it by the throat! Thats what Curt Hennig does!
Gene Okerlund:
Okay then. Well, how are you feeling about tonights match against Booker T, for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship!?
Curt Hennig:
What do you think Curt Hennig is thinking, Gene!? Im thinking about being the first member of the New World Order to take home some gold! Booker T, hes a chump. Hes held that World Heavyweight Title belt for almost six months, Gene. Six months! Me? Ive never held a World Title in WCW! Not once! United States Title? No problem. Tag Title? No sweat. But that one title, the most prestigious one, has always been out of my reach.
*Hennig pauses, and lowers his head. Embarrassment and rage fills his body.*
Curt Hennig:
Throughout my whole entire career, Ive been that guy who never won the big one. I was the best wrestler to never win
. But not anymore! After tonight, Curt Hennig becomes perfect! Tonight, I am going to win the World Heavyweight Title, and no one, no one damn it, will stop me! Booker T, I dont care how good you are! I dont care how tough you are! Tonight, youre facing the best talent in the world! Tonight, youre facing the man who is representing the greatest faction of all-time, the New World Order!
Gene Okerlund:
Well, thatll about wrap up this interview. Remember, later on in the broadcast, Curt Hennig challenges Booker T for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship!
Curt Hennig:
Yeah, but you forgot one thing, Gene.
Gene Okerlund:
And whats that!?
Curt Hennig:
Curt Hennig is going to walk out of Huntsville, Alabama, the NEW World Heavyweight Champion! And THAT, Gene, that is simply
*Hennig slams the microphone into Okerlunds chest, and walks off-screen. Gene then brushes himself, looking angry.*
Gene Okerlund:
What a jerk! I hope Booker T beats his butt tonight!
*The segment ends, and Nitro cuts to a break.*
Segment Rating:
Tony Schiavone:
Welcome back to Wednesday Nitro ladies and gentleman! During the break, we received some big news!
Mike Tenay:
Earlier in the broadcast, Super Crazy scored a huge upset over Shane Helms in a non-title match! However, the two have been booked for a re-match for Fall Brawl! Thats right,
Shane Helms will defend the WCW Cruiserweight Title against Super Crazy!
Tony Schiavone:
Thats huge! These two already had a great match tonight, but at Fall Brawl, they could have one of the best cruiserweight matches in the history of professional wrestling!
Mike Tenay:
Well Tony, that isnt the only match for Fall Brawl, which is only eleven days away! Also booked for the show is Billy Kidman versus Rey Misterio Jr., and Hugh Morris versus Lance Storm for the North American Championship in an American Brawl! Also, KroniK defends the WCW Tag Titles against Totally Buff, and the team of Chuck Palumbo and Sean OHaire!
Tony Schiavone:
Well speaking of KroniK, Professor, they are backstage with Mean Gene Okerlund! And also, right after that interview, Palumbo and OHaire, the Young Lions, will take on Totally Buff! This should be interesting!
Cashin Checks, N Breakin Backs
*Nitro cuts backstage, where Mean Gene is standing by with KroniK. Bryan Clarke and Brian Adam tower over Okerlund, looking menacing. Both members are in jeans, and have the Tag Title belts strapped around their waist.*
Gene Okerlund:
Hello again ladies and gentleman! I am backstage with the WCW Tag Team Champions, KroniK! Brian Adams, Bryan Clarke, in less than two weeks, at Fall Brawl, you two will face your biggest challenge yet! You will face the Young Lions, Chuck Palumbo and Sean OHaire, and Totally Buff! What are your thoughts on this match!?
Bryan Clarke:
Mean Gene, at Fall Brawl, its just another typical match! Weve been the Tag Champs for over three months now, and weve kicked the crap out of all challenger!
Brian Adams:
Chuck Palumbo and Sean OHaire, made them look like fools. The Filthy Animals, beat them like an animal should be beaten! Totally Buff wanted some two weeks ago, and we gave them some! But Palumbo and OHaire, they wanted another ass whooping!
Bryan Clarke:
And now thats what theyre gonna get! Another ass whoopin! Palumbo and OHaire, Totally Buff, you four kick the crap out of each other tonight all you want, but at Fall Brawl, your asses are going to be kicked, by KroniK!
Brian Adams:
Were all about cashin checks and breakin backs, Gene! And at Fall Brawl, thats exactly what were going to do! The two Young Lions, and the two old farts, are going to get their backs broken by the High Times! And after its all said and done, and Bryan and I have our arms raised in victory, were going to cash our checks of success!
Bryan Clarke:
And Gene, if you dont get the hell away from us, were gonna be breakin some backs, tonight!
*Brian Adams shoves Gene Okerlund down to the floor, and Brian Adams and Bryan Clarke depart from the interview area. As Okerlund slowly gets to his feet, looking irate, the cameras cut back to ringside, where Totally Buff is making their entrance to the ring.*
Segment Rating:
Mike Tenay;
Brian Adams and Bryan Clarke are two bad men, Tony!
Tony Schiavone:
Theyre big, bad, and vicious! Theyre mean sons of a gun in the back, and two huge hosses in the ring! At Fall Brawl, they have a great chance of retaining the Tag Titles, even though they dont even have to be pinned to lose the belts!
*Chuck Palumbo and Sean OHaire make their entrance to the ring. While doing so, they are announced as the Young Lions.*
Mike Tenay:
And thats the thing! The Young Lions and Totally Buff both want those Tag Titles! They dont care who theyre pinning! They just want the Tag Titles! What is needed going into Fall Brawl, however, is momentum. And right now, one of these two teams is going to get some, because theyre going to lock-up in the ring, right now!
Match Two
Totally Buff (w/Miss Elizabeth) vs. Young Lions
Tag Team Match
One word; Ugh. That can describe this match. Totally Buff was on job duty tonight, and they stunk up the ring because of it. The two men no-sold just about all of the Young Lions offense, making both teams look incredibly crappy. Palumbo and OHaire tried to make something out of the match, but Lex Luger and Buff Bagwell just shat all over this match. They two teams ended up just brawling for the most part, as Palumbo and OHaire couldnt hit suplexes or any other offensive maneuver without Totally Buff making it look downright terrible. Thankfully, the match only went about five minutes. After Palumbo and OHaire both tossed Lex Luger from the ring, Palumbo laid out Bagwell with a Jungle Kick. Sean OHaire then climbed up to the top turnbuckle, connected with the Seanton Bomb, and made the pin for the victory. Thank God thats over!
Young Lions def. Totally Buff at 5:15
Star Quality:
The Champs Stand Tall
After the match, the bell rings and the music for the Young Lions play. Palumbo and OHaire celebrate, while Luger and Bagwell recover. The winners barely have anytime to celebrate however, as, just like last week, are jumped by KroniK. Brian Adams and Bryan Clarke hit the ring through the crowd, and jumped the two from behind. Adams laid into Palumbo with forearms, while Clarke did the same to OHaire. A brief brawl ensued, but KroniK quickly got the upper hand. Palumbo was soon taken out with a Spinning Sidewalk Slam, while Clarke took out OHaire with a Meltdown. Lex Luger then got back into the ring, only to take a High Times which Luger practically no-sold. Buff Bagwell then got up to his feet, but he also was met with the High Times which he also practically no-sold. With all four men laid out, KroniK raised their arms in glee, and stood tall.
Segment Rating:
Tony Schiavone:
Thats why their the best tag team in WCW, Tony! Theyre cheap and nasty, but theyre the best!
Mike Tenay:
Well, the Young Lions won the battle tonight against Totally Buff, but KroniK ended up getting the last laugh!
Tony Schiavone:
Very true, Professor. The Young Lions fought very well tonight, and got the hard-fought victory. They looked very good tonight, and are starting to get on a winning streak within the past two weeks. However, KroniK is still dominant. For the past two weeks now, Brian Adams and Bryan Clarke have laid out both the Young Lions, and Totally Buff. If they keep this up, they wont have any opponents for Fall Brawl!
Mike Tenay:
Alright ladies and gentleman; we have to take another commercial break. But stay tuned, because still to come, Booker T versus Curt Hennig for the WCW World Heavyweight Title, Ric Flair and Jeff Jarrett in a steel cage, and Hulk Hogan speaks on Nitro for the first time in over a year!
Power, Glory, & Fame For Life
*As Wednesday Nitro returns from break, New World Order hits over the sound system, bringing the New World Order out to the Von Braun Center. The fans immediately jeer the heel faction, who are cocky as ever, despite being without The Chosen One Jeff Jarrett and Curt Hennig. The nWo get into the ring, and Big Poppa Pump Scott Steiner promptly takes a mic from a stagehand.*
Scott Steiner:
Listen up, bitches! The best damn thing in professional wrestling today, the New World Order, has somethin to say!
*The crowd boos as Steiner hands the mic over to Bischoff.*
Eric Bischoff:
So I hear tonight is supposed to be the biggest night in Nitros history, huh? You have Booker T defeating Curt Hennig to retain the World Heavyweight Title.
*The crowd pops*
Eric Bischoff:
And you have Ric Flair defeating Jeff Jarrett in a steel cage match to get a War Games match at Fall Brawl between WCW and the nWo.
*The crowd cheer even more.*
Eric Bischoff:
Oh, and I almost forgot, an interview with the one and only, Hulk Hogan!
*The crowd erupts, going into a frenzy for Hogan. The nWo members look disgusted; Bischoff lowers and shakes his head.*
Eric Bischoff:
That seems like a great night, huh? Well guess what, none of that is going to happen!
*The crowd immediately starts to jeer Bischoff. Bischoff gives them a I dont give a shit look.*
Eric Bischoff:
Because hey, Huntsville, lets enter reality. Tonight, Curt Hennig is going to finally achieve his destiny, and become the WCW World Heavyweight Champion! Tonight, Jeff Jarrett retires the old cripple, Ric Flair! And tonight, youre not going to hear or see from Hulk Hogan!
*The crowd boos loudly*
Eric Bischoff:
Its fact! Booker T cannot match up to Curt Hennig! Ric Flair is no match for the best wrestler today, Jeff Jarrett! And get this through your heads Hulk Hogan does not care about WCW, Ric Flair, or any of you fans!
*The crowd continues to boo Bischoff, and soon try and start a We Want Hogan chant.*
Eric Bischoff:
Chant all you want! Hogans not coming! WCW is fighting for tradition, honor, and pride. Hulk Hogan values none of those traits! Hulk Hogan is going to hold out on World Championship Wrestling. Hulk Hogan stands for power, glory, and fame! Dont think Hogan is going to once again preach about tradition, honor, and pride! Hulk Hogans not going to urge you all to eat your vitamins, drink your milk, and say your prayers! Hogan will not preach something he doesnt believe in himself! Hulk Hogan has always been about power, glory, and fame! He stood for it in the 80s, he stood for it 90s as a member of the New World Order, and now, in 2001, Hulk Hogan still stands for it. The New World Order stands for power, glory, and fame. And thats why I brought in Hulk Hogan as the third man in 1996. Because I knew what the Hulkster stood for, so I brought him in on my creation. Hulk Hogan is just like every member of the current, and former, New World Order. Just remember that, ladies and gentleman. Hulk Hogan has always valued power, glory, and fame, like the nWo.
*Bischoff pauses, while the crowd boos. Bischoff then cracks his trademark arrogant grin. *
Eric Bischoff:
You could say that Hulk Hogan values power, glory, and fame for life.
*Bischoff, Steiner, Awesome, and Midajah share a laugh, while the crowd boos. They pick up on what Bischoff is trying to do. Hes trying to convince them all that Hogan is nWo. He is trying to convince Huntsville that Hulk is like the nWo, always has been, always will be, and is now.*
Eric Bischoff:
Hulk Hogan turned on you all before! Remember July 7, 1996? Remember Bash at the Beach? Remember Daytona Beach, Florida? Because I do. The New World Order does. Hulk Hogan turned on WCW, and showed the world what he always has been, was, and now is nWo.
*The crowd continues to boo Bischoff. Theyre not digging the fact hes trying to turn them against Hogan. However, an all too familiar voice is heard, that sparks their interest.*
Now let me tell you somethin, dude!
*The Nitro Tron switches to a live feed from Tampa Bay, Florida, showing the face of
Hollywood HULK HOGAN
Segment Rating:
The Hulkster Is Back!
*There he is, on the Nitro Tron, the one and only, Hollywood Hulk Hogan. The Hulkster is sitting in a chair, wearing a yellow Hulkamania t-shirt, and a red and yellow bandana. Who would have thought that Hulk Hogan would be on Nitro in the year 2001!? Hes here, and he has something to say!*
Hulk Hogan:
Eric Bischoff, I heard every word you were sayin, brother, and I dont agree with a word of it! I know what youre doing, dude, and I dont like one bit. Youre trying to turn all my Hulkamaniacs against me! Well guess what Bischoff, you cant turn the Hulkamaniacs on me, brother! Hulk Hogan is loyal to Hulkamaniacs, and he aint gonna turn on them!
*Hogan pauses while the crowd cheers.*
Hulk Hogan:
Eric, back in 1996, I was about power, glory, and fame. I let success go to my head, and I became corrupt, brother. But let me tell you somethin, dude, Hulk Hogan stands for tradition, honor, and pride! Hulk Hogan stands with WCW, brother! Hulk Hogan stands against the New World Order! Heck, this isnt even the New World Order standing in the ring, brother. This is a cheesy rip off of the group I started, to try and once again, kill WCW.
*Hogan pauses, while in the ring, the nWo look pissed off. They dont seem to agree with Hogans comments.*
Hulk Hogan:
The New World Order was a little faction that Hollywood Hulk Hogan created in 1996, brother. It was a faction that brought you in, Bischoff, to get all the power, dude. It has the three baddest dudes on the planet! Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, and yours truly, Hollywood Hulk Hogan, brother! Now, it has two nWo rejects, a chump who thinks he was nWo, new meat, and a conniving, arrogant, stuck up, son of a bitch! Curt Hennig and Scott Steiner, you both couldnt get the job done as a New World Order member before, dude. And now in 2001, you still wont get the job done, brother! Jeff Jarrett tried to make himself the new Hulk Hogan trying to become the leader of the nWo. But Jeff Jarrett doesnt have anything on Hulk Hogan, dude! Jeff Jarrett is a foul-mouthed punk, whose going to get his tonight when Ric Flair beats his ass in a steel cage, brother!
*Hogan pauses, and the crowd cheers loudly. They cheer on Hogan himself, and for more hype of the steel cage match.*
Hulk Hogan:
Mike Awesome, you may be one bad dude, but brother, youre no Hulk Hogan! Youre no Ric Flair. Youre no Sting. Youre no Booker T. And then, theres you, Eric Bischoff! Bischoff, let me tell you somethin, brother! If it wasnt for me and the Outsiders, youd still be at that announcing tables, calling matches with Tony Schiavone and Mike Tenay. I made you Bischoff, and I made the New World Order, brother! Eric, you cant re-create what I made, dude. You can try and destroy WCW all you want, brother, but Hulk Hogan aint gonna let that happen. And neither is Ric Flair, Booker T, Sting, The Andersons, or anyone else! World Championship Wrestling stands united, dude, and were gonna kick your nWo wannabe ass!
*Hogan pauses, while the crowd continues to cheer him on. Bischoff looks like a whipped puppy in the ring, afraid to open his mouth.*
Hulk Hogan:
Now, Eric, I may not be in Huntsville, Alabama, tonight, but eventually, Im going to show up at a WCW event, brother. It may be tomorrow. It may be at Fall Brawl. It may not even be for months! But Eric Bischoff, mark my words, Hulk Hogan is coming back to WCW, brother! And when I do, Bischoff, whatcha gonna do, brother!? Whatcha gonna do when Hulk Hogan runs wild on you!?
*The crowd pops loudly at Hogans famous catch phrase. Hogan glares into the camera at his home, which in turn makes it seem like Hogan is glaring at Bischoff and the New World Order. The nWo look like theyve seen a host, and shit their pants because of it. The cameras focus in on Hogans mug before cutting to a commercial.*

Tony Schiavone:
Oh my goodness, Professor! Hulk Hogan is indeed back in WCW!
Mike Tenay:
Eric Bischoff and the New World Order tried to turn the fans backs on Hulk Hogan, but Hogan popped in from Tampa, Florida, and shut Erics mouth! Hogan is coming back to WCW, Tony, and I for one, cannot wait!
Tony Schiavone:
Me too!
*New World Order hits the Von Braun Center, bringing out Curt Hennig for the WCW World Heavyweight Title match.*
Mike Tenay:
Well, ladies and gentleman, I know it has been one heck of a night so far, but the best is yet to come! Coming up right now, Curt Hennig challenges Booker T for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship!
*Hennig continues to make his entrance, amidst a chorus of boos. Hennig takes his time walking down the entrance aisle. Hennig spits his gum out, and slaps it away before getting into the ring and continuing to do his usual taunts. Can You Dig It Sucka!? then hits, bringing out Booker T to a loud, resounding, pop. Booker does his usual entrance taunts and poses on the stage, before sprinting down the aisle to get the match underway. Booker wasted no time, tackling Hennig right away to start the match.*
Match Three
Booker T © vs. Curt Hennig
WCW World Heavyweight Championship
Booker T started the match off with laying right hands to the fallen Henning, setting the tone of the early stages of this match. The two combatants laid into each other in a vicious brawl in the early stages, connecting with rights and lefts. Hennig put up a fight, but Booker T was a pissed off Champion, and got the upper hand. After brawling around the ring aimlessly for the first two minutes of the match, Booker connected with an early Harlem Side Kick. A cover was made, but no three count for Booker T. The Champ tried to stay on the offensive, but only could for a few moments. Hennig went down low, scoring a right uppercut to the groin, followed by a running knee lift to take the advantage.
The story then became Hennigs quest to pin Booker T, and finally win a major World Heavyweight Title. For almost the next seven minutes, Hennig isolated Booker T, using everything he had to defeat the Champion. Hennig hit several running knee lifts, swinging neck breakers, flipping neck snaps, vertical suplexes, and even a power bomb. However, Booker T was resilient as ever, refusing to be pinned for the count of three. As the match went on, Hennig became more and more frustrated at his inability to put Booker away because of the Champs resiliency. Finally, Hennigs frustration gave Booker T an opportunity to capitalize on. After going down too early for a back body drop when Hennig whipped Booker into the ropes, Booker was able to stop himself, and hit a big DDT to the challenger.
Both men slowly got up to their feet, as the match passed the ten minute mark. The typical, slow brawl, followed. It was even at first, but Hennig started to take the upper hand in the brawl. As Curt seemed ready to knock Booker out from the brawl, the Champ fought back, blocking a Hennig right, and hitting a hard right of his own. Booker started to get back on the offensive, connecting with several solid right hands. Booker kept going, hitting a scoop slam, and eventually a Harlem Side Kick. Booker went for the Book End, only for Hennig to counter with a knee to the mid-section. A quick attempt at the Hennig-Plex, but Booker broke free in mid-air, falling to his feet and landing behind Hennig. Curt turned around, only to receive a kick to the mid-section, followed by a Harlem Axe Kick! Booker pinned, and got the 1-2-3 for the victory, and successful title retention. After the match, Booker T surprisingly was able to celebrate his victory, free of attack by the nWo. Overall, a solid match that would have been a great main event for any other edition of Nitro.

Tony Schiavone:
What a match, and what a win for Booker T!
Mike Tenay:
Booker T was able to get a one-on-one match with Curt Hennig, and without any help from his nWo buddies, Hennig fell victim to Booker T and the Harlem Axe Kick. Booker T wins yet again, showing why he has been the WCW World Heavyweight Champion for almost 6 months!
Tony Schiavone:
That was a great match, Professor, but the best thing is, there is
more to come, because we still have Ric Flair versus Jeff Jarrett inside the steel cage!
Mike Tenay:
But before we can get to the main event, we need to take a commercial break! Stay tuned folks, because the best is yet to come!
*When Nitro returns, the cameras are backstage at the interview area.*
Ending The War
*At the interview area, Mean Gene Okerlund, yet again, is standing by with a wrestler. This time, it is The Chosen One Jeff Jarrett. Jarrett is already dressed to wrestle. Hes in silver and black tights, and a nWo t-shirt. He seems incredibly focused.*
Gene Okerlund:
Well ladies and gentleman, we are just moments away from the main event, featuring Ric Flair, and the man standing next to me, Jeff Jarrett, in a steel cage! Jeff, you are about to have one of the biggest matches of your career! What are your thoughts entering this huge match?
Jeff Jarrett:
My thoughts? My thoughts, Gene? You want to know what The Chosen One is thinking? Well slappy, let The Chosen One tell ya. All thats on my mind is ending this little war between me and Ric Flair. Nature Boy, you and me have been going at it for the past four months. I exploited Ric Flair as the lying sack of crap that he is, and ever since, hes been trying to take me out. Ric got lucky at Slamboree, but he knows that I am the true Nature Boy. Tonight, I am going to show why.
*Jarrett pauses before continuing.*
Jeff Jarrett:
Ric Flair is old, and he is weak. I am at the prime of my career, and I am destined to become the WCW World Heavyweight Champion, once again. I am The Chosen One! I am Jeff Jarrett! I am a member of the New World Order! And tonight, I am going to dispose Ric Flair from WCW! Tonight, I am going to maim that old cripple, and send him back to the nursing home in North Carolina, where he belongs! At Fall Brawl, there will be no War Games. There wont be a huge WCW versus nWo match. There will be Jeff Jarrett, but no Ric Flair. Because tonight, I will defeat Ric Flair, and I will end this once and for all. So choke on that, slappy!
*Jarrett walks away from the interview area, presumably heading for the ring. The cameras the cut back to the commentary booth.*
Tony Schiavone:
Well, Professor, its about time for the main event!
*The cameras focus on the cage above the ring, which is starting to lower. The cage is the traditional, chain-link mesh, compared to the traditional steel vertical and horizontal bars cage. The cage continues to lower.*
Mike Tenay:
We dont want to deprive you, the fans, of anything during the main event, so its going to be commercial-free! In order to do that, were going to take our final commercial break right now! Stay tuned! Ric Flair versus Jeff Jarrett in the steel cage is next!
*As Wednesday Nitro returns, the cameras focus on the 16-foot tall steel cage, which is now completely lowered. The cage is your modern cage, and also has a door to the cage for the wrestlers to enter. Chosen One hits, bringing out The Chosen One Jeff Jarrett to loud heel heat. Jeff Jarrett walks out onto the stage, looking focused, but yet, still cocky. Jarrett is wielding an acoustic guitar like always, and slowly walks down the entrance aisle, jawing with the crowd all the while. Jarrett climbs up the steps, and enters the ring through the cage door. However, he can enter the ring, Jarrett is forced to leave his trusty acoustic equalizer on the outside of the cage by the steel ring steps. Sprach Zarathustra then hits the sound system, bringing the fans in Huntsville, Alabama, to their feet in cheers. The Nature Boy Ric Flair walks out onto the stage, sporting blue trunks, and a blue Nature Boy robe. Flair walks down the aisle, looking focused as ever, knowing this is his last match ever if he doesnt win tonight. Flair gets into the ring, and David Penzer goes through the pre-match introductions. Finally, the match is on as Senior Referee Randy Anderson orders for the bell to be rung.*
Main Event
Jeff Jarrett vs. Ric Flair
Steel Cage Match
Okay, so lets review. The match is taking place in a 16-foot tall steel cage. The cage is modern; a chain-link cage compared to the traditional cage made out of steel beams going vertically and horizontally. The cage has a door to escape from it, yet you can only win by pin fall or submission.
Anyways, the match gets started, with the crowd red-hot. Traditional way to start things off with a
stare down, before going into a collar and elbow tie-up. The two slowly swap basic wrestling holds, going through a feeling-out process, and trying to milk up crowd reactions. Jeff Jarrett gets an early advantage in the chain wrestling, out-wrestling the seasoned veteran Flair, and then slamming him down to the canvas. The Chosen One tried to work over Naitch on the canvas with more simple holds, but The Nature Boy fought back, escaping an arm bar, and rolling to his feet. Jeff got to his feet, and more chain wrestling followed. However Flair got the advantage this time, and after out-wrestling Jarrett, locked in a waist lock. Naitch looked for a German, but Jarrett escaped with several elbows to the side of Flairs head. Jeff ran off the ropes and came back at Naitch, but Flair side-stepped Jarrett, and sent him into the steel cage. Cage spot #1.
Jarrett bounced off the cage, and Flair took the advantage afterwards. The Nature Boy kept it simple, battling Jarrett with right hands, and of course, his patent knife edge chops. Flair chopped the hell out of Jarretts chest in the corners, and in the middle of the ring, turning The Chosen Ones chest bright pink. Flair hit a couple of vertical suplexes, as well as tossing Jarretts face into the steel cage. However, after about four minutes of working over Jarrett, much to the crowds pleasure, Jarrett put a sour taste in the fans mouths, low blowing Flair. Flair staggered around, before doing his patent Flair Flop. With Flair on his back, Jarrett incorporated the steel cage, catapulting Flair face first into the steel mesh! Flair dropped to the canvas, and bladed. When he was rolled onto his back, his forehead was starting to gush blood.
Ric Flairs face
becoming the proverbial crimson mask
, Jeff Jarrett started to take control. The Chosen One worked over Flair in every area possible; head, neck, back, and knee. Jarrett laid into Flairs open wound with closed-fisted right hands, as well as slamming and tossing Flair into the steel mesh countless times. Jarrett keeps the possibility for the Stroke open as well, hitting multiple neck breakers to Flair. The part of Flairs body that has caused him the most problem throughout his career, the back, was also targeted by Jarrett, as Jeff whipped Flair into the corner turnbuckles countless times with authority, as well as executing back breakers, and vertical suplexes to Flairs back, adding more torque, pressure, and pain to it. And then, the body part that has plagued Flair the most recently, the knee, was worked on by Jarrett like always. Jarrett connected with several knee breakers, slammed Flairs knee into the canvas, and jumped from the first rope onto Flairs knee, crashing all of his momentum and 230 pound body on him. However, throughout all of this, Jarrett could never get a pin or submission. Jarrett obtained several near falls, but was unable to get the win. At the eleven minute mark, Jarrett looked like hed obtain victory, setting Flair up for the Stroke. However, Flair countered at the last second, scoring with a mule kick to Jarretts groin, using his good leg to do so. As The Chosen One hopped around the ring in pain, Flair landed an eye rake, followed by a thumb to the eye. And last, but definitely not least, Flair slammed Jarretts face into the steel cage with all of his force.
Both men were down, and when
Jarretts face
was shown, it
was also bleeding
too. Both men slowly got to their feet, and when they did, brawling ensued. The two slowly exchanged right hands, selling their injuries from the match so far. Jarrett seemed to be getting the advantage, but Flair fought by with a stiff knife edge chop. As the two men continued to bleed like stuck pigs, Flair continued to lay into The Chosen One with hard knife edge chops. As Flair started to gather momentum, Jarrett fired back with a thumb to the eye. Jarrett went for a DDT, but two can play that game, Jeff; Ric low blows Jarrett in retaliation! Jarrett hobbles around well, he staggers, and Flair hobbles. Nevertheless, Flair grabs Jarrett by the hair, and slams him into the steel cage! Cover by Flair, One! Two! Kick Out! Flair almost had the victory, but no cigars. The dirty tactics continued though, as when Flair tried to pull Jarrett up to his feet, Jarrett connected to Flairs groin with an uppercut. Low blow! Flair keels over, and Jarrett capitalizes, hitting him with the Stroke! Flair is down, and Jarrett covers!
No, I lied. Jarrett made the cover, but got off of Flair right at two. Huh!? Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Jarrett got up to his feet, blood dripping from his face. Jeff walked over to the door of the cage, opens it, and walks down the steps. Double J wipes the blood from his eyes, and picks up his
acoustic equalizer, the guitar
. The fans jeer Jeff, who climbs back up the steps, guitar in hand. The cage door is closed, and Jarrett stands in the corner, waiting for Flair to get to his feet. The Nature Boy, bloodied, battered, and bruised, slowly gets to his feet after a couple of moments, using the ropes for leverage. Once Flair gets to his feet, Jarrett aims, waiting to plant the guitar over Flairs head and finish him off. Flair turns around to face Double J, and Jarrett swings and
Flair dodged the bullet, or well, in this case, the guitar. Jarrett turns back around to face Flair, but Naitch connects with a knife edge chop! Flair hits two more knife edge chops, followed by a thumb to the eye! Jarrett drops the guitar, and Flair knocks The Chosen One to the canvas with a hard knife edge chop! Flair quickly picks up the acoustic guitar, and Jarrett slowly gets to his feet. When Jarrett does,
Ric Flair just broke the acoustic guitar over Jeff Jarretts head! The bloodied Jarrett falls to the canvas, shards of the broken guitar going down with him. Flair, tired and beaten, collapses to the canvas, landing on Jarrett! ONE! TWO! THREE!
Ric Flair def. Jeff Jarrett at 14:47
Star Quality:
After the match, the bell is immediately rung, and Sprach Zarathustra hits the sound system. The fans break out into loud cheers for The Nature Boy Ric Flair, as they now know Flair is staying in World Championship Wrestling, and that at Fall Brawl, WCW will take on the nWo in the War Games. Flair struggles to get to his feet, as the cage raises back up into the rafters of the Von Braun Center. As Flair fails at getting up to his feet, Arn Anderson, Cal Anderson, Booker T, and Sting all march down the entrance aisle and get into the ring. The four help Ric Flair up to his feet, and then, Booker T throws Jeff Jarrett out of the ring to the floor. The faces all stand tall in the ring as the fans cheer them on. However, New World Order hits, bringing out the rest of the nWo. Mike Awesome and Curt Hennig jog down the entrance aisle, helping Jarrett up to his feet. They then help Jarrett walk up to the rest of the New World Order. Bischoff looks like he just dry-swallowed a pill. He has a microphone in hand, glares at the faces in the ring.
Eric Bischoff:
ALRIGHT! You win, Ric. At Fall Brawl, four of your best, go up against the New World Order! 4 on 4, first team to score a submission or knock out wins! However, Ric, this isnt going to be just how you want it. This whole War Games match isnt going to be about pride, honor, and all of that other bullshit you stand for, Ric. Oh no, because you see, if the nWo is going to kick your guys asses in the War Games, then the New World Order is going to walk away with a prize.
*Bischoff glares at the faces in the ring, before pointing at Booker T. Booker looks confused, and points at himself, giving Bischoff a what the fuck!? look.*
Eric Bischoff:
Yeah, you, Booker T. Youre most prized possession, the WCW World Heavyweight Title.
At Fall Brawl, in the War Games, the man who scores the fall is going to walk away the WCW World Heavyweight Champion!
So Book, can you dig that?
*Bischoff drops his mic, and the crowd boos and cheers the announcement. They like the War Games returning at Fall Brawl, and hey, the World Title is up for grabs. However, this screws over Booker T, as he must now get the submission to win the Title. And if the New World Order win in the War Games, they are going to have the WCW World Heavyweight Championship! Bischoff and the nWo stare down Booker T, Ric Flair, and the rest of the faces. Cameras cut to commentary to end the show.*
Tony Schiavone:
Oh my God! What a show it has been tonight! The single greatest episode of Wednesday Nitro EVER!
Mike Tenay:
Who would have thought what would happen tonight, would actually happen!? Super Crazy defeats Shane Helms and gets a Title match at Fall Brawl, Hulk Hogan returns to WCW, via satellite! Plus, Booker T defeats Curt Hennig to retain the WCW World Heavyweight Title! And finally, Ric Flair defeats Jeff Jarrett in an amazing steel cage match! And now, WCW will take on the nWo in the War Games!
Tony Schiavone:
And in the biggest shocker yet, the WCW World Heavyweight Title will be on the line in the War Games! Whoever scores the winning fall will become the WCW World Heavyweight Champion!
Mike Tenay:
Fall Brawl is definitely going to be the pay per view event of the year! But next week will be another exciting edition of Wednesday Nitro, so be sure to tune into it next week. However, we are out of time, but thank you for tuning into this unforgettable edition of Wednesday Nitro! For Tony Schiavone, Im Mike Tenay, see you next week!

Re: WCW 2001- The Trio Ownership
Shane Helms vs. Super Crazy-A shock win for Super Crazy and hopefully we get a rematch come Fall Brawl. If you don't I will get as many people as I can to run a protest against you saying "We want Helms and Crazy!"
The Perfect Hype-You can always tell it has to do with Mr. Perfect when it says Perfect. Good promo and nice build up for Curt vs. Booker T, I hope they put on a good match.
Yes! Well now I can take something off my schedule now that Super Crazy and Shane Helms will wrestle for the WCW Cruiserweight Championship. I am hoping Helms wins though as I would like to see at least a 1 year title reign from him.
Cashin Checks, N Breakin Backs-A nice promo though it wasn't like Mr. Perfect's promo good. The 3-way match can be good, but it may be draged by KroniK and Tottaly Buff.
Totally Buff (w/Miss Elizabeth) vs. Young Lions-LOL. Good ma...who am I trying to kid. -2 is terrible and this match was ecven worse than a DUD.
The Champs Stand Tall-High Times and no sells oh what a great combo lol.
Power, Glory, & Fame For Life-Good promo with Bischoff talking about Hulkster, but then Hogan interupts him.
The Hulkster Is Back!-Very good promo with Hulk Hogan first appereance on WCW Nitro in this thread.
Booker T © vs. Curt Hennig-Some good action here in the main event with Booker T getting the victory which mean 2/3 of what Bischoff said was a lie.
Ending The War-Nice interview with Jeff Jarrett saying he will win to end this war.
Jeff Jarrett vs. Ric Flair-Great main event. Both men get busted open with Flair getting his classic bleeding on. Jeff Jarrett hits the Stroke only for 2 as he wants the guitar. He goes out and gets it then he comes back in only for Flair to come back then hit him with the guitar and pins 1,2,3. That means WAR GAMES!
WAR GAMES~!-Not that great of a promo, but it was awesome to see the title is on the line.
Good Nitro, you did a very good job and I will give you a 8/10 show rating.
Can't wait for the next Nitro and then, Fall Brawl.

Re: WCW 2001- The Trio Ownership
This is gonna be short cos I can't say much more than this:
Nitro was awesome!
I really wish I could have seen this in real life.
The only downfall is the obvious lack of real talent in the tag team division but I am sure this will improve over time...
With all this goin on and the backstage tension about Flair I can't wait for the next piece you write..... I AM HOOKED! lol great stuff

I recieved a call from an elderly lady named SANDY ISSACSON. She had to be one of the sweetest people I have talked to on the phone. She immediately interviewed me. I was misled by her telling me that I would make $8.00 an hour. However, it was $8.00 per lead. The employee policy and misleading about your earnings as well. The first week I worked was for 26 hours. I had recieved 5 leads and at that point I thought wow I'm going to be making money just talking on the phone whether I get any leads or not. I continued to work for another 3 weeks. When I called my manager and told her that I hadn't recieved my first weekly paycheck she had them send it to me (Yeah 2 1/2 weeks later). To my surprise it was only for $40.00. When I asked my manager SANDY ISSACSON about it she said when I interviewed you, you knew that it was $8.00 per lead.
Then I told her I didn't want them to take out the $18.95 from my checking account anymore because I have unlimited long distance nationwide she said so you don't want to work for us anymore? I said I shouldn't have to pay you to work for your company. Now her attitude changed and she acted as if I were her worst enemy.
I also had crossed trained into personnel and in the scripts/ outlines of what you need to inform them is misleading about your earnings. It's like a beat around the bush to get your money. I never called anyone.
To this day Sept. 12, 2006 I still have not got paid for 3 more of my leads and will not because I am no longer a representive for NHCD, however I feel that I should get paid for them because I read the script and spent numerous hours that I could've spent with my 2 children working hard for these leads.
Finally, they won't reimburse me my $29.95 because they said I didn't spend enough time on the phone. Go figure. If they continue to take money out of my account they will hear from my lawyer.
In closing please be aware that NCHD (national Healthcare Discount)www.nhcd.com, www.flutternet.com, and www.naturesbeautybar.com are a rip off. Also be aware of these people Sandy Issacson & Melissa Ginther. Sandy was my manager and Melissa was her manager. Don't be fooled by the sweet elderly lady.

Assalam u alaikum,
I had a question on divorce but before that let me tell you about myself. I am married to my wife since 4 years and she is a revert. We have had fights before and she has used the word Divorce before and also said several times that she wants to leave. But I know that it was only out of anger and she didn't mean it, thus we always worked it out, although I know she shouldn't use it.
Recently I was chatting to my brother and he also recently got married and his wife also used the word Divorce, so I was counselling him and told him that wife's use the word divorce but the don't necessarily mean it and told him not to worry they love us a lot and it is something they use out of anger. My wife read that text message, and since then she said that I talk behind her back to my brother and that she wants a divorce from me.
She also abused me with bad words, also thinks that I always talk bad about her to my family. And this is not the case, I have never ever talked about our matters to my family, this was the first time and also my intentions were to make things better for my brother's marriage. I know it is my mistake and I should of not talked behind her back and admitted it to her and apologized, but she was hesitant. I love my wife a lot, and have never used the word divorce, but she says she doesn't trust me.
I want to know from a third person that what I did was worth all the behavior I got form my wife, and was she right to use the word divorce against me in this matter.
Please give me your humble opinion because it can matter a lot in our marriage.
Thank you, Muhammad

We lined up the top edge with our predetermined line on the masking tape at the edges, and folded over some business cards to even up the gap between the quarter-panel and roll pan on both sides. Then the holes were transferred to the sheetmetal behind them.

This dress has been my staple dress this summer. It is comfortable, easy to throw on, good for most situations.
I based the yoke off the Danielle pattern (with a ton of changes). The body of the dress is basically a big rectangle. I used pintucks at the front and back around the waist to give it some shape, matching all the polka dots. (I pinned it while wearing it, how much would I love to have a dress form…).
It has a handpicked zip at the centre back. I love handpicking zips now!

Oktoberfest/German party ideas
- slofood Sep 7, 2007 12:55 PM
My turn is coming up to host the bimonthly Gourmet Club at my house. Given that it will be in October, I am leaning toward an Oktoberfest theme. As host I decide the menu and make the main course, and everyone else brings the go-withs, from appetizers to dessert. I can provide specific recipes if I choose to.
Please chime in. I appreciate your ideas. Thank you.
Obviously sausages, bretzels, schnitzels, and spaetzels.
As far as specifics, you can make various flavored mustards and breads for the sausages. Use all sorts of meats like turkey, chicken, pork and veal for the schnitzels maybe serve a schnitzel sampler?
I don't have a recipe but a german biergarten I go to makes an amazing bacon and cheese spaetzle. It is almost like a creamy mac and cheese with thick cut chunks of bacon the size of lardons.
Obviously bratwurst-here is a fun Wisconsin website that has some good ideas for sides and toppings for brats:
I think most appropriately this should be Bavarian food, meaty and bready. Schweinshax'n, Semmelklopse, Sauerbraten, Rouladen, Schnitzel, Bretzn, Würste (Weißwurst an obvious must), Spaetzle (I had a great one with cream, bacon and blue cheese).
If it were me I would have a coldcut and cheese platter to start, perhaps also a croquette filled with Quark or Bretzn with flavored mustards, Rouladen or Schweinshax'n, sauerkraut and Spaetzle and a hazelnut torte to finish.
At an Oktoberfest beer-hall celebration in Munich, the featured food was weisswurst. I don't remember what accompaniments there were.
Every year, whether I have company or not, I make Sauerbraten with potato pancakes and homemade red cabbage. Some dark bread is good for sandwiches.
My recipes are included avove
We do this at our house each year. Sauerbraten, kraut, big pretzels, spaetzel, potato pancakes, applesauce, brats and dogs (for the kids)...nothing too fancy. I've found that most people want the "typical German food", not anything too far off the radar. I shred the sauerbraten for sandwiches on big hearty buns. People love them.
And beer. Lots of beer.
How about a choucroute garni? I don't know the German term for sauerkraut with a bunch of pork products, but it's pretty much the same recipe: smoked pork chops, bratwurst or weisswurst or a combination like that, and a fresh pork roast of some sort, maybe pieces of ham or bacon. I like to do the kraut with plenty of sliced onion, some caraway seeds, and a braising liquid that is part lager beer, part chicken broth. Also, I do this in a roasting pan with the meat nestled in, so that the kraut sort of caramelizes (you'll want to stir it up occasionally and add more beer/broth/water as it dries out). The classic side would be mashed potatoes, I think.
re: Youffraita
It all sounds too wonderful. I'm drooling already.
re: slofood
It is. I usually start with half lager and half broth--maybe a quart total. But to get the caramelization, you need to let it almost dry out a few times, stir, and add a bit more liquid. Needless to say, I do not cover the roasting pan. Your fresh pork will be nicely browned on top. The chops don't need to brown; keep them buried in the kraut. The sausages you'll want to brown a little bit; call it half-buried and flip them when you stir up the kraut. It's actually a really easy recipe to make, and I think choucroute garni is from Alsace, which would make it half-german to begin with. Alsatians would probably use white wine instead of beer; but I think lager adds to the color and is more appropriate for kraut, even when it isn't Oktoberfest!
For dessert: Pflaumenkuchen/Apfelkuchen (plum cake/apple cake). Use the recipe at www.spendidtable.org for Original Plum Torte. This is almost exactly like the basic fruit kuchen recipe in the "Bayrisches Kochbuch" I have, though using Imperial measurements. You can easily substitute thinly-sliced apples for the plums (or any other stone fruit or rhubarb - sugar accordingly). You can double the recipe and bake them in large sheet pans to serve a crowd (use parchment underneath - with extra hanging over the sides - for easy removal from pan, put a little grease under the parchment to keep in from slipping while you spread in the dough). Lay the plums/apples/whatever on the dough like shingles. We do an Oktoberfest every year and these cakes are a great hit.
If you have a German butcher near you, order a couple of loafs of "Leberkaese" - it's like a big loaf of balogna (has no liver in it), just heat it up in your oval crock pot or in the over. The "Amis" (Americans) love this stuff. Viel Spass! O'Zapft is'!

ExxonMobil Arkansas Tar Sands Pipeline Gash 22 Feet Long, Attorney General McDaniel Confirms
ExxonMobil Arkansas Tar Sands Pipeline Gash 22 Feet Long, Attorney General McDaniel Confirms
Arkansas Attorney General Dustin McDaniel announced today that ExxonMobil's Pegasus pipeline suffered a 22 foot long gash that led to the rupture that gushed up to 294,000 gallons of tar sands dilbit down the streets of Mayflower on March 29.
McDaniel revealed the news of the 22-foot gash at a press conference this afternoon and stated that - to the best of his knowledge - ExxonMobil had complied with the dictates of the initial subpoena for documents he issued on April 4.
That subpoena was issued in response to the March 29 rupture of Exxon's Pegasus Pipeline, a 20-inch tube carrying 95,000 barrels of tar sands crude per day - also known as diluted bitumen, or "dilbit" - from Patoka, Illinois to Nederland, Texas.
"We received 12,587 pages of documents, including more than 200 blueprint-sized diagrams. Our investigation is ongoing," Aaron Sadler, Spokesman for McDaniel told DeSmogBlog.
The cause of the Pegasus gash is still unknown.
In February, the Tar Sands Blockade group revealed photographs that appear to indicate that TransCanada - which is now building the southern half of the Keystone XL pipeline in Texas - may be laying poorly-welded pipe there.
Could it be a faulty or corroded weld that led to the gash in the 65-year-old Pegasus pipeline? Did it corrode due to its age or as a result of error on Exxon's part?
The 12,587 pages of documents will hopefully have some answers.

North Korea Expanding WMD Production Capabilities: South Lawmaker
North Korea last year constructed new plants for producing biological and chemical warfare materials, a South Korean lawmaker asserted earlier this month (see GSN, Oct. 7).
"The fact that facilities for manufacturing biological and chemical weapons was newly built at the area of Chagang Province of North Korea in December last year was confirmed by the [South Korean] military authorities," the Yonhap News Agency quoted Solidarity for Future Hope lawmaker Song Yong-son as saying on Oct. 7.
"The military authorities understand that among the 13 types of fungus body of biological agents that North Korea currently has, five types -- including anthrax bacterium, botulinum, and smallpox -- can actually be used as weapons."
North Korea is believed to possess between 2,500 and 5,000 metric tons of chemical warfare agents spread out at sites across the nation, the South Korean military stated in its 2010 white paper. The Stalinist state began generating chemical warfare toxins on an industrial level close to half a century ago. The North reportedly has eight chemical weapon plants (Kim Nam-kwon, Yonhap News Agency, Oct. 7).

You know something -- nothing and I mean nothing surprises me anymore when it comes to Big Govt and Obama's illegal presidency. First clue, if you have an illegal president, do you think he's working FOR the American people. Ahem, hardly! The only solution to Big Govt and tinpot dictator wannabe Obama is to get rid of the cancer that's infecting the body of our American way of life! I'm really counting on Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his Cold Case Posse coming up with even more evidence of the fraud occupying the WH! This commie Obama has got to go! P.S. As a side note, there's a company out of Barcelona, Spain called SCYTL that will be counting all the votes come this November. I'm guessing the votes will be counted in Obama's favor.
