U.S. Online Travel Overview Tenth Edition: Airlines
Although 2008 and 2009 were among the worst years for U.S. airlines, 2010 is shaping up to be among the best. The 2008 oil price spike, which led to untenable fuel prices for airlines, was followed by a steep economic recession. The result was a dramatic decline in corporate demand for travel and, for airlines, those precious premium customers.

U.S. Online Travel Overview Tenth Edition: Cruise
The cruise industry is experiencing a modest but welcome recovery in 2010 after a brutal 2009. The recession and subsequent collapse of demand forced cruise lines to slash prices, while the H1N1 crisis in Mexico in the first half of the year effectively killed a major destination market and created itinerary chaos in the Caribbean market. But the crisis has abated.

U.S. Online Travel Overview Tenth Edition: Online Travel Agencies
Like umbrella sales on a rainy day, OTAs do best when inclement conditions dampen the travel marketplace. But despite the countercyclical boost, the OTA segment as a whole skidded off its growth track for the first time in 2009. The decline was inconsistent across companies, however, and share shifts between the major players concentrated the loss to certain brands, while other brands managed to buck the trend.

Pundits predict plunging iPad market share
Acer's chairman JT Wang may believe Apple's share of the tablet market may shortly plunge to between 20 and 30 per cent, but market watcher iSuppli doesn't see it falling below 60 per cent, for the next few years at least. Wang argues that the arrival of a fleet of Android-based tablets from his company and others will together …
"Such a notion assumes that all Android-based tablets will, like the PCs of old, be me-too clones able to run all the available software within a user interface that's identical across all machines."
Where is this stated ? I agree with some of the points made but this is, at best, supposition - and certainly none of the players in the market are touting it. Personally, I think it's nonsense. By way of a not-so-stretched analogy, you don't need "indentical" user interfaces to your competitors to be popular in the phone space - even with the influx of Android-based phones - the PC situation was entirely different (and far more dependent on an incumbent monopoly - twice).
Abort / Retry / Go to PC World
Having had the misfortune of having to use a Acer Netbook, I don't see Apple being particularly worried about the 'pundits' right now
It's still just an iPod.
> Having had the misfortune of having to use a Acer Netbook, I don't see Apple
> being particularly worried about the 'pundits' right now
Actually, Acer actually puts respectable keyboards on their machines unlike HP or Dell.
If Acer rises from the ashes it will be due to the fact that someone wants to visit some Flash site, or browse it in a non-mobile browser, or do something really strange like save or print or move their own data around.
The last time I left the netbook at home, I wish I would have brought it along. It does what the Apple device refuses to do. Sometimes that's handy. (like last trip)
Don't agree about keyboards
>Actually, Acer actually puts respectable keyboards on their machines unlike HP or Dell.
i have a 3 year old HP laptop and a 1 year old Acer. Acer keys have a wierd gap between them which allows gunk [like food particles] to slip under and makes the key unresponsive. Removing the key and putting it back is also not very easy [in fact I lost the "t"]. The cost to replace the key is 5$ per key and close to 100$ for the whole keyboard.
The battery also went kaput after 6 months - it lives only on live power.
I bought acer coz I wanted a 2nd PC (from a diff vendor) to make it my primary computer. But now I am trying this only HP laptop, coz I hate using my acer [due to the keyboard].
Paris, coz she doesn't swallow any gunk.
"The researcher highlights HP, now the owner of Palm and the latter's WebOS software, as Apple's main rival, not Acer. Like Apple, HP is in a position to play the vertical integration of software and hardware card, in order to fend off commoditisation, maintain margins and avoid offering vanilla products like everyone else."
If HP fails to attract developers to provide apps for the WebOS, how's the vertical integration of software and hardware will help? Ask that to Palm...
"We should also point out that even if Apple's market share does follow the trajectory outlined by Wang, that's not necessarily a bad thing. For the next few years at least, the tablet will be a new market, with growing sales. All will benefit."
Oh, I see, projecting declining market for Apple is forbidden or suffer the consequences. How, if it happens, losing market share is good for Apple and turn to be a good thing to the other makers too? Some paragraphs earlier it's said that tablet en mass will be bad for almost everyone except Apple? Don't get it, sorry.
"And while, in that scenario, Android takes the lions share of the platform market, it's unlikely any of its supporters will dominate the vendor chart, leaving Apple at the top. We think Jobs and co. will be happy with that."
Jobs and Co happy for being the only, if it happens, vendor of iPhads, but their market share plumbs, say, to 20%? That would means 80% of tablet sales not reaching their pockets. Oh, right, that 80% will be shared by 4-5 makers...yeah, Jobs and Co would be very happy with that...right...
Apple don't do low-end.
If they can't make a fat profit from each sale, they don't bother.
The maths speaks for itself:
Company A makes products which sell for £100 more than they costs to make, so they make £100 million in profit for every million you sell.
Company B sells for just £10 more than their product costs to make, you're they're making £10 million in profit for every million sold.
Company B must sell *ten times more*, just to catch up with Company A, let alone overtake them. This means their support teams have to deal with ten times more customers, which eats into that razor-thin profit margin. If both companies spend 10% on customer support, Company A is spending £10 per sale, while Company B is spending just £1 per sale.
Apple are Company A. They don't give a gnat's chuff about the low-end market, because that only makes them pennies. They'd have to cut corners and build down to a price.
Don't believe me? Try reading the reviews of the various Android phones that have been released to date. You'll soon see what I mean: they clearly set a price first and throw features at the dartboard it until they reach that price. Hence good phones marred by resistive displays; good phones marred by shoddy build quality; lots and lots of if-onlies, with very few genuinely good products—and the Nexus Ones and Desires are no cheaper than their fruit-logoed rival.
Android is a race to the bottom: it's the Windows of the mobile industry. It's already becoming increasingly fragmented as a market—which version(s) of Android do I support? What hardware can I assume is in the device? What's the display resolution and aspect ratio? Does it have a slide-out keyboard? Can it do multi-touch? Is the CPU any good? What about the GPU? Etc.
More variations = more expensive development and customer support.
The only company that's *guaranteed* to make serious money from Android is *Google*. Not HTC. Not Acer. Nor anybody else. And certainly not the app developers.
At Last !!! someone else who read the Reg and "gets it"
Good post Sean, pity alot of other readers will probably read it and disagree simply becasue they just dont understand the model.
although , i dont know if google will actually be in a net gain on Android. Development and support costs are huge, and unless the Ad supported Apps dramatically take a greater share, then it might not be enough. Wouldnt it be funny then if it went the same way as Wave etc when the bean counters decide to cut it !!
iPhans are like no other purchaser, tunnel visioned with blinkers
iPhans are not actually buying the tablet or telephone, they are buying any concept to which a worm-eaten Apple symbol is affixed.
The pad sales weren't intended for useful or practical purposes, they were for people who were intent on keeping up with the 'Joneses' created by Apple publicity. Even those who were given these Apple creations - news and financial show hosts, etc. - obviously didn't have practical uses for them as was seen from their on-screen activities.
Even though the Apple pad is a knock off of pads released in late 2009, it still has less functionality and inter-connectivity than the earlier pads/tablets that can show videos/movies, have 3D screen displays, USB and SD connectors and, some, even have telephone capability.
In fact, nothing better demonstrates the slavish buying habits of iPhans than the technically failed Lemon 4. Here is a product that has been proven by independent test authorities NOT to work properly, in fact there are well over 12 documented defects, even Jobs and Apple have admitted it doesn't perform properly to the extent they are GIVING AWAY glorified rubber bands to make them more functional.
This means that any Lemon with a rubber band is a failed unit and yet iPhans happily wave them around not realising what they are saying about themselves. HOW SAD IS THIS? It's like saying "I am so stupid I bought a defective product".
Sorry, Mr. Wang, you are mistaken - iPhans might be a minority, but you will not persuade them to buy anything else.
You really do need to let go. Visit a shrink or something, because your obsession is quite severe and your rhetoric is just a little bit tire, while adding nothing to the conversation.
Yeah, and your point?
This part is what seals it for me...
'Even though the Apple pad is a knock off of pads released in late 2009, it still has less functionality and inter-connectivity than the earlier pads/tablets that can show videos/movies, have 3D screen displays, USB and SD connectors and, some, even have telephone capability.'
The only thing that's 'close' to the iPad was the Kindle -at that time. Many of the 'pads' with those functionalities were nothing more than prototype dog-whistle, vapours. Why not mention the MS Courier or the HP Slate or the JooJoo or the MeGoo or the Galaxy Tab as well as the functionality and marketing success of those 'pads', even though they do not 'really' exist instead of spewing something you know ABSOLUTELY nothing about that does?
If manufacturers want to use the Marketplace app...
... they'll have to pass android compliance test suite and the compatibility definition document. Currently the CTS is aimed at handsets but I expect someone in Google is working on the equivalent for tablets.
If a manufacture doesn't bother with the CTS, well... good luck with that. The device won't be able to use Marketplace (or Google's apps if they wished) and customers will simple choose another device which does.
So therefore compatibility is optional affair, but choosing not to be compatible will probably see a device strike out.
"give people a standard platform - the Wintel PC - and punters will buy into its openness"
Back in the days before Visual Basic it was actually very difficult to develop for Windows, and the OS has never been particularly "open"
You're having a bubble?
"That assumption is based on the way the desktop computer market developed: give people a standard platform - the Wintel PC - and punters will buy into its openness instead of closed, proprietary platforms."
IBM certainly published the PC spec and allowed _cheaper_ implementations but "open"?
....despite the fact a couple of Android tablets are already in the wild and going nowhere, and despite the fact Archos has been making tablets for years, and despite you could buy Windows Tablet at least 7 years ago....
Despite all that, Apple are going to lose a huge amount of market share to products that have already been released and failed, or unreleased but following in the footsteps of failed products.
I've no doubt that Apple will lose market share over time, but the iPad is not the iPhone, and it's not competing in the fickle mobile phone market. The iPad (or AnyPad) is simply an addition to your existing laptop/desktop and so instantly will appeal to a certain type of person - eg one with money.
So is that money conscious person going to choose Android or Apple?
My money is on Apple 4 times out of 5.
It will be interesting to see how many nerds out there will buy an AndroidPad when they become universally available, or whether they will just pass it up, and continue on cheap netbooks.
" closed platform will eventually lose to an open one" ?
"and noted that according to past experience, a closed platform will eventually lose to an open one, and that he believes Android simply needs a little more time before it turns strong, the paper added."
Like Linux has overtaken the windows market ?
or like Plays For Sure beat the iPod?
Yep, that 70-80% marketshare captured by the iPod and the iTues Music store for the last 9 years against the massed ranks of the open platform of "Plays For Sure" ecosystem Microsoft, Sony, Dell, HP, Creative, SanDisk etc etc and the massed online music and media stores from even the Music Cartel themselves against as well as bricks and mortar stores such as WallMart put the lie to this meme.
"Open" does not by any means always beat a "closed" vertically integrated ecosystem.
It sure has
Android is top in the smartphone share.
Oh, you meant in the dead-end desktop? Bit insignificant now.
Re: It sure has
Android isn't the top smartphone OS, not by a long chalk.
Nokia owns this market globally, and will do for the next few years at least. After that, we'll see, but for now Android has a way to go.
RIM's BlackBerry remains hugely popular, as does the iPhone. Android will probably beat both, but that's on the back of dozens of vendors - the others are one-company operating systems.
PS. The only way Android has achieved the success it has is because Google gives it away. You don't think ailing companies like Motorola and Sony Ericsson would have leapt in so fervently otherwise, do you?
PPS. I do like Android, in case you think I don't.
Surely you've seen the trends?
I'll assume you have, and if I was representing Apple, Nokia or RIM I'd be worried.
Of course it's because Google gives Android away so manufacturers get a very good phone OS for free with as little dev time to add on as they like that means any company can get straight to market with their latest and greatest. I don't disagree with that at all, but it still doesn't change the fact that Android is the top smartphone OS by market share right now and it's climbing wildly.
What smartphone OS does Nokia have? Maemo? Not anywhere close and not likely to be ever. Meego has more potential.
Unless you mean their Symbian stuff which is looking pretty dated these days and I don't really consider to be a smartphone OS. Others may disagree but I only consider iOS, Android and webOS to be part of that group with webOS disappearing quickly.
I really hope they can get their act together with Meego because I don't want Google having nothing to worry about. Apple have lost as of now by doing their standard shoot-themselves-in-the-foot bundling and the only thing that could have saved them - opening iOS - needed to happen yesterday.
RIM actually have a lifeline - use Android. If they can ride on the back of BES for as long as possible and then improve the other areas of their phones to rival Android and iOS phones they should survive until Exchange hits the cloud and they can keep the proprietary lock-in stuff while no-one trusts Google for corporate mail.
Shields Up! Fire at will Mr Worf!
I used to be abusive about the iPad thinking WTF?! is that about.
Then I got to play with one and fell in love. Yep, it's locked down, it uses iTunes (grrrrr) and there are other things it won't do but it's stunningly beautiful and easy to use that you forget the flaws. Besides, I can sit on my sofa and slide my fingers over the screen just like it's a datapad or console on Star Trek. I like the iPad, my family loves the iPad; it was my money and my choice!
Nail. Head. Hit it.
Precisely that - this is what irritates me reading all the comments on this website: 'Oh the iPad doesn't do function x, isn't open source, doesn't have card readers etc. etc. etc.' Fine, it doesn't. Stop whingeing about it and go but a netbook, or an Android tablet, or something that does do what you want.
Personally, as a less 'techie' geek, I find Apple products do what I want in a more user-friendly and aesthetically pleasing manner than many of the alternatives. Yes, I'm sure there are ways of getting Windows, Android etc. to do these things, but in terms of out-of-the-box useability, I've found Apple stuff to be generally excellent. If this doesnt suit you, then like I said, go elsewhere! Or go and have a beer with your mates, that's my plan :)
My experience differs
I played with one and was completely underwhelmed. I was trying so hard to look at it with an open mind but the animations weren't as smooth as the iPhone (possibly due to the same hardware underneath having to drive a higher res?) and I'm already used to a Ubuntu Netbook that sleeps when I close the lid and wakes up in 2 seconds, ready to go on the net again right away and my Galaxy S with the Super-AMOLED screen that looks massively better to me than the retina display LCD.
Android 2.1/2.2 is already way more usable than iOS 4 so as long as Android tablets hardware look the part and perform well then I'd agree with Acer, no-one's going to buy the iPad for double the price for half the functionality.
Android is Linux. Has Linux taken over any consumer segments yet?
As said above, it is a race to the bottom. Apple are happy to maintain their 30% gross margin I am sure. Compare that with Nokia's 3%.
And with this open platform comes fragmentation.
At work today I had to adjust a shell script that had to run the mount command on 3 different OSes. One Slowaris, the other two were flavours of RedShat and SLES. All had the mount command in a different place. Now, Slowaris has the same location irrespective of version, yet RHArSe and SLES had chosen different places.
Wot no windows?
Surely Microsoft must be considered within all this speculation? Especially as pioneers of all things multi-touch (consider MS Surface which is still the tech-demo of choice for futurists IMO) and after all that's the be-all-and-end all of these tablet shenanigans.
Steve Jobs is Big Brother
> I like the iPad, my family loves the iPad; it was my money and my choice!
Keep on telling yourself that bub.
OTOH, my family is impressed with the shiny happiness of their iPad too. They still reach for the Archos when it's time to watch a movie (or ten) and there's still some things you need a proper computer for.
The netbook isn't going anywhere either.
Both represent stuff that Apple has intentionally left off.
The limitations of Apple products are self-inflicted. They choose to make it hard to get stuff in and out of the device freely. They might find enough consumer couch potatoes that such limits don't become a problem.
...or not.
Just like the iPod
I expect this to play out like all the open plays for sure mp3 players that were going to destroy the ipod and its market share.
Obviously we are still waiting for that to happen. I do not think Apple will care if they cannibalize their own market share.
Sean Baggaley ... what he said.
Apple don't just sell a lot of devices. They sell them profitably.
They have been doing this for a while. And Apple's rivals and the haters don't seem to have figured this out yet.
They explain Apple's success in two ways.
"Apple's consumers are just stupid" - JHaitch
"Apple are doing something dodgy"
"It's just marketing"
PC Clone makers and Android Phone makers are both in the same trap. They are unable to innovate - because they have outsourced their innovation to another company. Which is fine, but when Google and MS churn out an innovation, everyone gets it.
All these clones are the same. Virtually identical products. So the only way a clone maker can compete is on price. And the race to the bottom begins. And as they all cross the finishing line. Apple has the profitable end of the market all to itself.
Only HP has a chance now. Because at least they have their own software at last.

What you want for a rotation is Serpent Sting, Black Arrow, Exp Shot, Cobra Shot (spam CS until ES and/or BA comes up). You want your SS on the targer immediately so that it keeps refreshed with CS. When you proc a Lock and Load then ES, CS, ES, CS, ES; basically you want to get your full ticks on ES.
No Arcane Shot or Kill Commands - actually you can use Arcane Shot if you're moving and want to fire on the move but not switch to Aspect of the Fox. Basically, if AS, KC and Steady Shot fell off your bar you would not notice.
Haste and Crit are about equal, Mastery is basically meh. There are Haste plateaus you want to get to 3 CS between ES, the next plateau is 4 CS between ES and that's a steep number.
This is my hunter, he's spec'd Sur and BM. Actually, BM is not that bad these days, but Sur is a bit better.

great product. love the case it is really what I needed for this my new phone.
First, it's not entirely leather, but that's a good thing. The four corners are protected by plastic. It has a magnetic closure, which I love. Nothing to snap open and fumble with when trying to accept a call or read a text. It's very professional looking, but when I open it up you can definitely see it's an 5. I also love the openings for the camera and the Apple logo. The only thing I don't like about it: When taking a picture the front cover must be held open to avoid covering your shot. This can be tricky (think taking a picture with an open book). But overall, it's an excellent product with a few quirks that can be worked around. Much more attractive than those bulky covers that completely hide the fact that you have the most amazing phone on the market.
Excellent product for the money. Screen cover helps the Phone.

the blocking glyph is a must
Currently, I have Glyph of Devistate and Thunder Clap for aoe tanking. Is there other majors I should be using?
- Krazen/Salzbury
the blocking glyph is a must
Yes, Wayne is right.
Consider also Glyph of Revenge. Not necessarily for AoE tanking but its just generally very good to have.
Fayre - Soldiers of Azeroth, Aggramar(EU)
We are recruiting! See here for more details.
I use Majors: Glyph of Blocking, Glyph of Revenge, and Glyph of Cleave. Cleave is only going to get better after the next patch, changing it to hit 3 mobs instead of 2.
Minors: Glyph of Bloodrage, Glyph of Thunderclap, and Glyph of Charge. The Charge one seems to bug out a little bit sometimes if you are 25-30 yards away from them though. And Bloodrage is getting buffed next patch to make you take no health penalty instead of 50% less.
I stopped using the Glyph of Revenge. It was nice for leveling, but that is about it. If you think about it, in low rage situations the glyph, while providing some additional threat, steals the rage from your next white swing and having enough for a shield slam is more beneficial than a free heroic strike. When you have unlimited rage, with multi-mob pulls or bosses, it is useless, because you will have heroic strike up near 100% of the time. Sunder Armor and Devastate are better choices in my mind, and Blocking is the one that is a must.
Loyalty above all, except Honor.
Sunder AND devestate seems redundant to me...either way you get 4-sunders with 2GCDs, the latter being more directed, controllable, threat, and less situational (not to mention more useful in rotation due to SnB procs.)
I took revenge out of rotation for a while, but have added it back in due to the fact that I'm actually running into 'need more rage' situations on the more trivial heroic and 10-man content by strike-spam. I could probably get rid of it again if the horsemen chest ever drops that sweet 2.60 speed axe.
On glyph of revenge: it's far from worthless, in fact I'd consider it the most necessary glyph, if not for glyph of blocking.
if you're tanking raid bosses, revenge, heroic strike, and blocking will be your glyphs of choice, by far
for minors there's not much choice, but bloodrage, thunderclap, and charge are what I went with.
but i got the taunt glyphe instat of sunder armor because i missed noth taunt after a blick 3times at one id. -> no "the immortal" archivment 8[
but i have taunt misses on Bosses, yet... so in my opinion the taunt glyhe dosnt work or i need really 9% to hit everytime with taunt.
sry 4 my f***ing English :>
I'm using Blocking, Revenge, and Devastate (recent change). Being able to throw out a quick double sunder is really strong, blocking is a must, and revenge well this is optional, you can put this wherever you want =P AOE lacking? grab the cleave reduction or either of the tclap ones. Like more rage? go with heroic strike or revenge. Like speed pulling? go with rapid charge. They are all good depending on what you do.
READ THIS: Posting & Chat Rules
I use Block, Revenge, Devastate.
I recently switched to Devastate from Sunder. Took some getting used to, since Sunder makes devastate a better multitarget attack than cleave. But Devastate helps me to lay into bosses right away, and as mentioned has the same end result - two sunder effects for the price of one. So I just have to tab more on trash.
Revenge is nice for snap aggro and on trash when rage is low. It's not that necessary on bosses when you upkeep heroic strike almost constantly though.
Blocking as mentioned is pretty much mandatory at this point.
Blocking, Revenge, and Heroic Strike.
Blocking - 'nuff said.
Revenge - Using this but not too enthralled about it. Great for low rage situations. Will probably switch to Glyph of Cleaving when patched for EZ mode trash.
Heroic Strike - I have this because it's great for both Prot and Fury (I respec a lot). About as much rage returned as the revenge glyph on average.
Does the Devastate Glpyh increase it's threat output when stacking sunders?
Blocking, Devastate and Cleaving.
Blocking - Yeah.
Devastate - Quick stacking sunders so I can get back to using higher threat abilities.
Cleaving - Trash threat. Really looking forward to the change in the next patch as well.
The Devastate Glyph does increase threat as shown in Glyph of Devastate - Double Check Me

Home » Kane » Bikini Contest
Real Name
Glen Jacobs
Date of Birth
April 26, 1967
Place of Birth
Former TNA knockout Sarita competed in the very first ever bikini contest in Japan and came in fourth place overall.
November 3, 2013
In order to boost Ryback up to the main event scene, management is going to have him beating some of the upper tier guys in WWE. His next step is Kane, and the company is going to try to give a quick boost to his momentum by pairing the two of them in a Chairs match at WWE TLC 2014. The renewed faith in Ryback comes as a surprise to many, as second chances are a bit hard to come by backstage.
November 26, 2014
A Shield reunion could be taking place as soon as Night of Champions 2014. Unfortunately, though, the trio will not be on the same side. There are talks now that instead of doing a singles match between Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns, WWE could opt to go with a tag team match. Dean Ambrose would make his return and team up with Reigns against the team of Rollins and Kane.
August 26, 2014
Expect to hear plenty of comparisons between Dean Ambrose and Steve Austin over the next couple of months. WWE is having the former Shield member take elements of the Austin character in an attempt to win over even more fans. While it was not shown on Monday Night Raw, the company is doing a story where Ambrose refused medical attention after being severely injured by Kane and Seth Rollins.
August 21, 2014
After 17 years of portraying the character, Kane might be receiving a new gimmick soon. Rumors have been floating around that he might be bringing the Jacob Goodnight character from the See No Evil movie series to WWE television. The belief is that management wanted to make it easier to promote the film. Some feel that the story line started when Kane handed over his mask to Stephanie McMahon on the last episode of Monday Night Raw.
August 7, 2014
On Monday Night Raw, WWE was quick to set up the main event for WWE Battleground 2014. John Cena will defend the heavyweight championship in a fatal four way match against Roman Reigns, Randy Orton and Kane. The move was set up by Triple H, who did not reveal his reasoning for putting Reigns, an adversary, into the title match instead of Seth Rollins.
July 1, 2014
A lot of action took place in the main event of Money in the Bank 2014. Fans went crazy as they saw creative signature spots from Randy Orton, Sheamus, John Cena, Roman Reigns, Alberto Del Rio, Kane and Bray Wyatt. However, it was Cena, much to the dismay of online WWE fans, who climbed the ladder and captured the heavyweight championship.
June 29, 2014
In a very exciting match, Seth Rollins outlasted Dean Ambrose, Dolph Ziggler, Kofi Kingston, Rob Van Dam and Jack Swagger to capture the briefcase at Money in the Bank 2014. WWE wants to continue the war between Ambrose and the Authority, so they had Kane coming out and providing assistance to Rollins. Despite the heel tactic to win the match, the Rollins victory was actually cheered by a good amount of fans.
June 29, 2014
Thanks to the help of Kane, Seth Rollins was able to climb the ladder uninterrupted and win the briefcase at Money in the Bank 2014. The Big Red Monster came to the ring and attacked Dean Ambrose to clear the path. Kofi Kingston, Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger and Rob Van Dam were all laid out on the floor during the finale. WWE power couple Triple H and Stephanie McMahon came out afterwards to congratulate Rollins.
June 29, 2014
A somewhat interesting thing took place backstage at Monday Night Raw this week. Naomi Knight took a picture of herself with Kevin Hart and uploaded it to Instagram. However, the WWE diva made the mistake of including John Cena and Kane, who are fighting in the story line, in the background. Luckily, she was able to remove and edit the photo before management caught on.
June 17, 2014
Ever since it happened on Monday Night Raw, WWE fans have been raving about the Seth Rollins heel turn because it was considered a surprise to many. The reason for that, however, is because it was a surprise to those backstage as well. The script for the show did not include that segment initially. John Cena and Kane were supposed to be in the final spot, but WWE quickly changed their minds and had Rollins turn on Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns instead.
June 4, 2014
It looks like WWE wants to promote Roman Reigns as a top star during the upcoming tour of Japan. Management is booking him in singles matches against Kane, a performer that Japanese fans are aware of. Reigns will more than likely be going over in those bouts. WWE is also booking Reigns for a tag team match with John Cena during the tour as well, which should give him a little more credibility with the overseas fans.
May 30, 2014
On Monday Night Raw this week, Brad Maddox was called out by Stephanie McMahon, Kane and Triple H. He was attacked and fired as the general manager of Monday Night Raw. That has led to plenty of rumors and speculations about his future with the company. As of right now, Maddox is still employed by WWE and this is simply just a story line.
May 26, 2014
As many already know, Daniel Bryan will be having neck surgery on Thursday, so he was removed from the tour of Europe that WWE is currently doing. The world heavyweight champion was supposed to headline one side of the tour, so management is scrambling to readjust the shows. Kane was originally supposed to have been working with Bryan, but a new main event is needed now.
May 14, 2014
Shortly after he announced on Monday Night Raw that he was taking time off to have surgery, rumors sprung up that Daniel Bryan did a lot of damage to his neck by doing the flying headbutt off of the forklift on Kane at Extreme Rules 2014. Some within WWE are denying that by saying that the neck was damaged by years of working a stiff style on the independent wrestling circuit.
May 14, 2014
Since Kane is scheduled to be working a Buried Alive match against Daniel Bryan at Payback 2014, rumors are floating around that this could be how WWE writes the Big Red Machine out of the story line for a couple of weeks. Something big has to happen to put Bryan over, so Kane will most likely take the fall and be removed from television.
May 7, 2014
A video from Monday Night Raw of Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella running away from Kane backstage. WWE is building towards a Buried Alive match between the two at Payback 2014, so the story line will be continued.
May 6, 2014
Since Kane was booked so strong in defeat at Extreme Rules 2014, rumors immediately spread that the veteran was going to be receiving a rematch against Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship at Payback 2014. Those rumors may be proven to be true really quick, as management is said to be leaning towards doing a Buried Alive match between the two.
May 5, 2014
At the end of the Extreme Rules 2014 main event, WWE fans witnessed Kane being put through a burning table, which he actually set up himself, by Daniel Bryan. Aside from giving Bryan a highlight, WWE also went with this route, in order to keep Kane strong in defeat. There are talks that a rematch could take place at Payback 2014.
May 5, 2014
WWE wanted to have a really visually memorable moment for Daniel Bryan at Extreme Rules 2014, so the decision was made over the weekend to utilize a forklift backstage and in the arena. The heavyweight champion used the vehicle to cart Kane back to the ring. Bryan also used it as a platform for his flying headbutt finisher, which Kane kicked out of.
May 5, 2014
In a match filled with quite a few over the top spots, Daniel Bryan successfully retained the WWE Championship by defeating Kane at Extreme Rules 2014. A running knee followed by a pin enabled Bryan to get the pin fall victory over Kane. Prior to that spot, Kane was put through a burning table and carried on a forklift, among other things.

And so I'll forever remember PST as the show where you get a sore throat and lightning distracts you.
I'm really going to miss this show.
This week:
3:18 - Should there be more single-player content focused on tanks and healers?
7:02 - How do you feel about one-off end-of-expansion bosses, and should we have more of them?
10:58 - How viable is PvP gear for use in PvE content?
14:27 - What advice would you give to someone looking to return to World of Warcraft?
18:45 - What did Blizzard get right with The Burning Crusade, and how can they repeat it?
24:31 - Is there a problem with PvE gear in PvP?
32:19 - How will dungeons work in future content, now that scenarios exist?
37:12 - Should holding aggro become a major concern for tanks again?
42:06 - Are the developers focusing too hard on raid content?
45:34 - What's the most common thing that breaks up a raiding guild?
50:39 - Could we see more raid tiers with multiple instances like Tier 14?
56:42 - Should Blizzard delay raid content by a week in future expansions?
58:31 - Would MoP storytelling have been better if we hadn't known about Garrosh from the beginning?
1:01:06 - Should there be more ways for raiders to earn gear outside of raiding?
And so I'll forever remember PST as the show where you get a sore throat and lightning distracts you.
I'm really going to miss this show.
Have fun at Blizzard, Lore!I'm really going to miss this show.
Well Lore it has been a lot of fun watching you, in a none creeper way, through out the years. I hope your travels are safe and make it to Irving in one piece.
45:34 - 50:39 pure golden answer, cant ever agree more with anything.
Good to see you didn't get swept away, you didn't loose power after all did you? I'm going to seriously miss this show, who knows maybe you'll be able to continue to do something along this line as a community project. Wish you the best of luck. And future reference it's loud thunder not lightning :P Also, you can only please some people some of the time, and you can't please everyone all of the time. Sorry I had to put that in there. Again Good Luck.
Sad day indeed. Pity someone else can't take over as the concept is good.
But Lore has always had that natural talent in front of the camera, not sure what it is, call it charisma or whatever, if they could find someone else with that magic ingredient it would be great.
Guess there just isn't another Lore. Real shame but still good news for him and his future.
I'm sad that this is the last pst.
Thanks for what you said about alts, I couldn't agree more. People can still have fun on their alts without having to do everything. I get the impression that players want their alts to be as raid ready as their main with half of the amount of time spent on them.
I've read quite a bit about the pvp vs pve gear debate. Most of the complaints I see are over world pvp because there is no scaling. I feel that the amount of players one side has, the levels they might have, and their class make up are higher up on the why world pvp is unbalanced list than gear. The other complaint I see is about random battlegrounds. You can get a full set of honor gear in less than a week compared to the month+ it can take to get a full set of normal raid gear. With its easy access, honor gear should be about as good as dungeon or lfr gear. I don't see many complaints about high rated 3's or rbgs since conquest gear is the best for those. It's really all about the world pvp.

And I would ask...why is there a problem with that? Hell, I would ask why half would even be expected. It's a friggin' alt. You already sank a stupid amount of time just getting to the point where you could do the real content, give people a damn break on the alts.I get the impression that players want their alts to be as raid ready as their main with half of the amount of time spent on them.
This whole idea that "raid ready" is some important, meaningful thing that everyone needs to "work" for is ridiculous. It's the same old topic of time-spent being a good measure of effort, ability, whatever...it's just ridiculous. I don't mind there being a little progression, but the idea that gating the actual content behind tasks that are completely mindless, repetitive, boring, and devoid of challenge is just awful.
2 weeks my mage was raid ready. he wasn't ludicrously over geared like my main, but hes geared enough for tot normals.

Hunters, Just get a Sporebat, most LFRs will be missing that buff.
To be quite honest, after spending the time on one character to get geared up and "raid ready," I have absolutely zero motivation to go through the EXACT SAME CONTENT a second time on another character, to get it to the same point. I have alts I'd enjoy raiding on, but I don't because the time investment isn't worth it.
Unsure of where you're going with that wording. I'm not saying it IS faster, but that I think it should be. Hell, if it were up to me, I'd gut the entire nonsense "grind so you can do content" system altogether.I'm curious why you expect that doing something a second time would require less effort (outside of simply already knowing what to do).
Actually, I hear that 5.3 has made it even easier for new toons at 90, so I'm really talking more about principle than fact at this point. I was really just referring to joshvolts' statement in general, not thinking of anything specific in-game at this moment.
Alts already have a break. They have an easier time catching up with the amount of coins to use on bosses. If you want rep you get double the rep as long as you hit revered with any of your characters. The warbringers toss rep out like candy. Your alt should not be as good as my main if you aren't putting in the effort. It's not suppose to be you hit max level do everything on one character and then have every class opened up to that point so that you can swap between them with ease. If you want that you need to put in the effort like the 1% Lore was speaking of.And I would ask...why is there a problem with that? Hell, I would ask why half would even be expected. It's a friggin' alt. You already sank a stupid amount of time just getting to the point where you could do the real content, give people a damn break on the alts.
You can level up an alt and start lfr pretty quick right now. It shouldn't be pretty quick for an alt to jump into heroic mode without a lot of effort.
I do still find it amusing when people assert that facing the last surviving lord of the Burning Legion wasn't the planned ending for the Burning Legion expansion. See also: the uniting of the feuding factions of Shattrath and the wrapping up of the blood elf and draenei/naaru storylines.
Kil'jaeden is the one who first spoke to Ner'zhul, and eventually tore him apart and imprisoned him in Icecrown, creating the Lich King. So you could say it was also foreshadowing.
Something I think people underestimate with updated character models is, every single gear model in the game also needs to be updated for each new character model.

|One Friday per month
|One weekend per month
| Our shortform improv show!
Similar to "Whose Line is it Anyway?", we take tons of suggestions from the audience and use them (and a few audience volunteers here and there) in a variety of scenes, songs, and competitive games made up right on the spot!
Come see the show and have dinner, drinks & dessert while you watch — City Steam brews their own beers right on the premises.
This is our first and longest-running show — we've performed over 50 monthly shows at City Steam since 2009.
| Our longform improv show!
We bring the big-city style improv of New York, Chicago, Boston & LA to life in Hartford!
We'll take a single suggestion of a word, phrase, or title, get inspired by improvised stories from celebrity guests, or interview audience members to create a 25-40 minute improvised comedy with different scenes, themes & characters!
The showcase features Sea Tea Improv's show AND other performances by invited groups & mixed improvisers from all over, for a big fun festival-style show!
| In this newest addition to our monthly shows, we put on special one-time or experimental comedy shows that may not even be improv!
We've done improvised musicals, a special show for kids & families, a sketch comedy show with live music similar to SNL, a show where the improv groups swapped members, and a show with new one-off groups that were no bigger than 3 members each!
These shows are where we do something truly unique — don't miss a once in a lifetime opportunity!

Improv Open Mic *AND* Mixer!
On Friday, June 8th at 8PM at the Hole in the Wall Theater, Sea Tea Improv will host an Improv Open Mic *AND* Improv Mixer!
All proceeds go to support the Hole in the Wall, a community theater.
-- What the heck is this thing? --
This is a chance for anyone to come watch & participate in improv comedy in two fun ways!
- Improv Open Mic -
We're encouraging established improv groups to come sign up for 5 to 15 minute slots to perform short form games or short longforms! Try something experimental! Play your favorite games! Form a one-off group for the night! Get some work in with your team in front of an audience!
- Improv Mixer -
In between the open mic slots, we'll be doing mixed improv scenes just like the ones at VLAD the IMPROV-er's Connecticut Improv Mixers! Put your name on the list, and you'll be randomly paired with another improvisor of a complementary level to do a short improv scene! Whether you come alone or with a group for the open mic, you can put your name in for mixer scenes!
- Can I just watch? -
Well, yeah, sure... you can just watch. But we definitely encourage you to try it out! Even if you've never done improv before, we can pair you with an expert who will bend over backwards to make you look good. Sea Tea Improv and the CT improv community is a very supportive environment, and we all know that no one's perfect, and no one's good all the time.

Home » Articles » Camacho released
Since 2011, Camacho has worked just one match on Smackdown. During that time, he was not utilized in a match on Monday Night Raw at all. He recently was sent down to WWE NXT to work as a veteran presence on those shows. Today, though, saw the end of his tenure with the company. WWE has given Camacho his release. His tag team partner Hunico still remains on the roster.

He recently was sent down to WWE NXT to work as a veteran presence on those shows. Today, though, saw the end of his tenure with the company. WWE has given Camacho his release. His tag team partner Hunico still remains on the roster.
June 12, 2014
"Dominance. I know that my opponent doesn't hit harder than me. Heck, my opponent probably doesn't even hit harder than my mom. I plan to accomplish my goals of being the No. 1 contender for the WWE NXT Title, becoming NXT Champion and then ridding this place of the circus characters that annoy me. After that, I'm gonna reconstruct the foundation of NXT and rebuild this place the right way. I'm gonna make NXT respectable again." - Camacho talking about his stint in developmental
April 20, 2014
When WWE announced the arrival of the Slam City cartoon series earlier this week, only guys from the main rosters were included as characters. A fan decided to go the extra step by drawing Sasha Banks, Camacho, Mojo Rawley and CJ Parker as characters for the show. Management has no intentions of including WWE NXT stars as of this moment, though.
March 22, 2014
While a lot of fans have already forgotten about him, a few still wonder about his whereabouts and status within WWE. It turns out that Camacho is still with the company, as he worked a WWE NXT television taping this week. He lost to Adrian Neville. His partner, Hunico, frequently works under the mask as the new Sin Cara, for those that are not aware.
March 2, 2014
Those that watch WWE NXT saw a character named Finn Balor making his debut this week by being the mystery partner for Hideo Itami in his feud against the Ascension. That is pretty big news for fans of international wrestling. Balor was formerly known as Prince Devitt, a star in New Japan for a very long time. Itami is Kenta Kobayashi, one of the better performers in all of Asia.
November 7, 2014
WWE has been struggling to figure out what they want to do with Bray Wyatt lately, so the character has pretty much been forced into the background. Rumors have recently surfaced that management is going to bring up the Ascension, a tag team consisting of Conor OBrian and Rick Victor, from WWE NXT to form a new stable with Wyatt. The duo would replace Luke Harper and Erick Rowan.
October 7, 2014
Reports have surfaced that Prince Devitt and Kenta Kobayashi are going to be promoted to the main roster very soon. The two of them are established international stars, and management is not going to have them languishing in the developmental program. WWE knows that the promotion might upset some of the guys that have been in WWE NXT for a while, but it is a move that they want to do.
September 30, 2014
Not a lot of details were provided when Ric Flair was forced to miss a WWE NXT show to have surgery. Jim Ross has revealed some details on that procedure. The longtime commentator stated that Flair had an appendicitis attack, and when doctors went in there to repair the damage, they discovered a hernia, so they repaired that as well. No word yet on when Flair will be returning to WWE television.
September 18, 2014
Earlier this month, it was revealed that WWE pays their developmental wrestlers approximately $25,000 a year. It has now been discovered that the amount is only for the male performers. The divas in WWE NXT, such as Ashley Flair, Bayley and Sasha Banks, are paid $50,000 a year, which is twice as much. The reasoning behind that is because management feels that the girls have more expenses in maintaining their looks.
September 18, 2014
Earlier this week, it was revealed that Ric Flair had to be pulled from the WWE NXT show. The exact reason has now been discovered. The former world heavyweight champion was in the hospital this week for some minor surgeries. No word yet on what those procedures were for, but none of it was life threatening. Flair is expected to be back with WWE after he recovers.
September 15, 2014
Yesterday, it was revealed that a couple of the WWE NXT performers have been booked for upcoming episodes of Monday Night Raw and Smackdown. Some further details have now been reported. Sami Zayn and Tyler Breeze are only booked for a couple of weeks, while Adrian Neville, who is currently the heavyweight champion in developmental, is scheduled until the end of October.
September 14, 2014
Last week, wrestling fans were dazzled by Adrian Neville, Sami Zayn, Tyler Breeze and Tyson Kidd during a tag team match on Monday Night Raw. You can expect more of that in the near future, as the WWE NXT stars are being booked for more television appearances. Reports have surfaced that Triple H is the one pushing management to feature the developmental wrestlers more frequently.
September 13, 2014
If you watched WWE NXT Takeover last night, you know that Tyler Breeze failed to win the heavyweight championship. However, management might have something better for him. Reports have surfaced that Breeze is on the verge of being given a promotion to the main roster, where the cocky character will be joining the entourage of the Miz, which already features Damien Sandow.
September 12, 2014
Originally, Ric Flair was scheduled to make an appearance at WWE NXT tonight at the Takeover 2 event. The former world heavyweight champion was supposed to introduce Kenta Kobayashi to the fans as a way to accelerate the fan support for the Japanese star. However, it has now been revealed that Flair has canceled on the appearance due to some sort of personal issue.
September 11, 2014
During a recent interview, Sami Zayn revealed that Antonio Cesaro actually made the request to management to go down to WWE NXT and work there. Zayn explained that the motive behind the move was to let certain people backstage see what he was capable of since it is harder to get the spotlight on Monday Night Raw and Smackdown. According to Zayn, Triple H was really impressed with what he saw in Cesaro.
September 11, 2014
There are rumors floating around that a title change could be taking place in WWE NXT very soon. Bayley might be given the women's title during the middle part of September. Reports are floating around that Ashley Flair is on the verge of being given a promotion to the main roster in about a month, so she would need to drop the belt to someone else in developmental.
August 28, 2014
Rumors have persisted over the last several months that Kevin Steen was set to sign a developmental contract with WWE. It looks to be official now, as the former ROH champion has posed for a picture with Triple H while wearing a WWE NXT shirt. The belief is that he will be focusing more on his weight and physique than actually training for the in ring stuff.
August 12, 2014
During a recent interview, Triple H revealed some interesting things about Bray Wyatt. He stated that WWE was on the verge of giving him a release a while back. HHH said he was able to convince management to let him work on a new character and test it out on WWE NXT. Things worked out rather well, and Wyatt was eventually promoted to the main roster.
August 7, 2014
In the previous generation, Sean Waltman was the benchmark when it comes to fans giving him heat because they legitimately resented the performer. It looks like Eva Marie is going to be taking that mantle now. During a recent appearance at a WWE NXT live event, the red haired diva was treated rather rudely by the audience. Things became even worse after she put on a very sub par performance as well.
July 19, 2014
Tamina Snuka posted a picture of herself having dinner with the Usos and Camacho.
November 14, 2013
Hunico and Camacho returned to WWE and taped a match for the Main Event.

News of the Founder Institute's Montreal chapter was recently covered by Jacob Serebrin in a Techvibes article titled The Founder Institute's First Canadian Cohort Graduates in Montreal.
In the first class to graduate from the Montreal chapter of the international startup accelerator, 12 aspiring entrepreneurs completed the program out of the 45 who joined the program at the beginning. The program is intentionally rigorous, designed to weed out those who are less than fully committed to embracing the challenges of entrepreneurship.
Sergio Escobar, a co-founder of the Montreal Chapter, explains,
We kick a lot of asses. If they succeed here, they have the skills to succeed in the real world."
The Founder Institute is unique to other startup accelerators in that it focuses on training budding entrepreneurs in the early stages of building a company; participants do not always have a fully developed startup idea before beginning the program, and many have not yet quit their day jobs.
Internationally, graduates from the program have launched over 1,185 companies. The Founder Institute, with an 89.5% survival rate of graduating companies, has helped facilitate the creation of thousands of jobs and has ensured the longevity of startups built in the program. LP Maurice, Escobar's co-founder, says,
The goal of the program is to flip the failure rate."
The Founder Institute is targeted at a slightly older demographic between the ages of 30-40. According to Escobar, older entrepreneurs have more experience and are more likely to persist throughout the challenges of the program.
Between the age of 30 to 40 is the best time to start a company. For young people it's a game."
Out of the 12 graduates, three received special recognition for their companies, including Julien Denaes, Mazen Elbawab, and Francois Poirier. Denaes's company Loggr is an "identity platform for cloud services" that utilizes smartphone QR codes for logging in, eliminating the need for passwords. Elbawab, founder of Haddoko, is developing a "smart compression suit" that allows people to track their movements during sports. Poirier's company MakerBloks creates toy blocks designed to teach children to build electric circuits.
The Founder Institute's next semester of the Montreal chapter begins in six months.
