Earlier this year, Curt Hawkins was delivered a bit of a blow when he was given a release by WWE, a company that he had spent years working for. However, he has kept his head up and has been moving forward in life. Aside from being able to focus more on his wrestling school, the former tag team champion has also announced that he is now engaged to his long time girlfriend.
August 16, 2014
Some big things are happening for Seth Rollins. Aside from being split up from Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose, the WWE star is also now engaged to his longtime girlfriend. No word yet on when the wedding date will be. However, the belief is that he will not be missing any television time for it, especially since he is being given a singles push now.
June 27, 2014
Since the two of them have just completed filming for the upcoming season of Amazing Race, there is a very good chance that Brooke Tessmacher and Robbie E, who are boyfriend and girlfriend in real life, will be returning to TNA in time to work the upcoming shows in New York City. The company can tout that the two of them are reality television stars, which might get a mention or two from the mainstream media.
June 24, 2014

June 18, 2014
During a recent radio interview, Bully Ray shocked a lot of wrestling fans when he revealed that he was dating Velvet Sky. Many were under the impression that the TNA Knockout was still dating Chris Sabin, who recently left the company as a free agent. There might be some validity to the claims made by Bully Ray as Sabin has been spotted with another woman, possibly his new girlfriend, as of late.

Since he is one of their more underrated performers, TNA has managed to sign Robbie E to a long term contract extension. Some within the company view that he can be a star down the line, especially since he is still just 30 years of age. There were some questions as to whether or not Robbie was going to stay with the company since the status of his girlfriend Brooke Tessmacher has been up in the air.
April 16, 2014
While much of the wrestling world has converged in New Orleans for Wrestlemania 30 this week, Melina Perez is one of the more notable names missing from the events. She has not been booked for WrestleCon, even though the likes of Fifi the Maid, Tammy Sytch and Gorgeous George, the former girlfriend of Randy Savage, are making appearances.
April 5, 2014
Back during the 1980s, one of the most talked about segment in professional wrestling was when Uncle Elmer got married on national television. It was an actual wedding, as the performer was really wanting to marry his longtime girlfriend. When he approached Vince McMahon about it, the promoter loved the idea and decided to make it a draw for WWE.
April 4, 2014
A picture of Jerry Lawler with his new girlfriend Lauryn. The longtime WWE commentator has been involved in several relationships over the years, so it comes as no surprise to the fans that he has found someone else.
April 4, 2014

April 2, 2014
Looks like the marriage bug has bit Luke Gallows. The former WWE star revealed that he is now engaged to his girlfriend, independent wrestler Amber O'Neal. The two have been together for a bit of time, even though Gallows has been working for New Japan quite a bit. Their wedding is expected to be some time in May.
March 27, 2014
Since he left the company, WWE fans have been eager to get a glimpse of CM Punk. His appearance on the Talking Dead created quite the buzz. So did a brief glimpse at the airport, where the former world champion was picking up his girlfriend, AJ Lee. Now, Punk has been spotted again, this time he is with Colt Cabana at an NHL game.
March 26, 2014
A video of the segment from Total Divas, where Nikki Bella and John Cena meet up on the pier. A lot of fans were led to believe that the former WWE Heavyweight Champion was going to be changing his stance and proposing to his girlfriend, but the couple basically just got their relationship on track instead.
March 24, 2014
When Bray Wyatt went on Monday Night Raw to cut a promo against John Cena, he used the term "plastic girlfriend" to describe Nikki Bella. Some wondered if there would be backstage heat for that, but it turns out that Wyatt actually told her about it beforehand. He even apologized before doing it. Everyone backstage really enjoyed the segment.
March 22, 2014
While he does not plan on leaving wrestling for Hollywood any time soon, John Cena is making quite the step up. Variety magazine is reporting that the WWE star is joining the cast of Trainwreck, a movie by Judd Apatow. Cena will be joining Bill Hader, Brie Larson and Amy Schumer, who happens to be the former girlfriend of Dolph Ziggler.
March 20, 2014
On Monday Night Raw, a slight buzz was created when Bray Wyatt used the term "plastic girlfriend" during a promo with John Cena, a reference to the fact that his real life girlfriend Nikki Bella has breast implants. There is said to be no backstage heat between the two over the segment, as WWE officials have given them both a bit of creative freedom in this feud.
March 18, 2014
In a rather interesting move, Tajiri turned heel during a Wrestle-1 event this week. The decision is noteworthy because he is still scheduled to team up with the Great Muta as a baby face team during Bound For Glory 2014 in a match against James Storm and Seiya Sanada. No word yet on how TNA will handle the situation, but it could just be avoided since most American fans are not regular viewers of Japanese wrestling.
October 9, 2014
While the entire card is far from being finalized, TNA has revealed two matches that will definitely be taking place at the pay per view. In the first match, Samoa Joe, Low Ki and former WCW star Kaz Hayashi will be battling in a triple threat match for the X Division Championship. Seiya Sanada will be teaming with his new on screen mentor James Storm to take on his real life mentor Great Muta and Tajiri.
September 27, 2014

August 16, 2014
"Heard Petey Williams retired last night. Such a great talent. Always enjoyed his work and working with him." - James Storm speaks on the surprising retirement of former TNA star Petey Williams
July 6, 2014
The decision to invite members of the Dallas Cowboys to Slammiversary 2014 proved to be quite an effective marketing move, as TNA was able to garner some mainstream media coverage from George Selvie being involved in a segment with James Storm and Mr Anderson. Among those that covered the incident were Dallas Morning News, TMZ, Fox Sports, CBS and a variety of local affiliates.
June 16, 2014
During a recent blog post, Jim Ross was asked what WWE needed to do in order to fix their product. The legendary commentator said that they simply needed to put on a better show and utilize their talents better. He praised Dolph Ziggler as a performer who needed to be push. Then, without solicitation, he praised James Storm and Bobby Roode of TNA.
May 19, 2014
In approximately two years, TNA has reduced the amount of contracted performers by nearly half, going from 60 to 33 during that stretch of time. Dixie Carter and company have been forced to allow performers to leave whenever their contracts expire because they need to become fiscally responsible if they wish to remain in business. Rumor has it that only Kurt Angle, Jeff Hardy, Bully Ray, Samoa Joe, Abyss, James Storm, Bobby Roode and Mr Anderson have big salaries.
May 15, 2014
Earlier this week, news came out that Kurt Angle had been added as a last minute addition to the live events that TNA is holding this upcoming weekend. Word has now come out that the former world heavyweight champion will be teaming up with MVP to take on Ethan Carter and Brutus Magnus. Angle is replacing James Storm and Gunner, who are doing a show in England.
May 2, 2014
Since James Storm and Gunner are heading over to England this weekend to work a big anniversary show over there, Kurt Angle has been added to the TNA live events this upcoming weekend in Wisconsin. The move is designed to help with ticket sales, as Storm is one of the more popular performers on the tour. No word yet on who Angle will be wrestling on these shows.
May 1, 2014
TNA will be doing a couple of live events in Wisconsin this upcoming weekend, but James Storm and Gunner, both of whom are featured regularly on these tours, are not going to be available. The former TNA World Tag Team Champions are heading to England instead to work a big anniversary show for Plymouth Wrestling Alliance.
May 1, 2014
In a bloody I Quit match at TNA Sacrifice 2014, Gunner was able to force James Storm into calling off the match by breaking off a big shard of glass and threatening to jam it into the head of his former tag team partner. A very bloody Gunner refused to quit, even though he took quite the beating.
April 27, 2014
A video from Impact Wrestling of James Storm and Bobby Roode reforming Beer Money in a tag team match against Gunner and Bully Ray. TNA has been toying around with the idea of having Storm and Roode permanently joining forces again.
April 26, 2014
While they both have now established themselves as singles stars, there are talks backstage in TNA of doing a Beer Money reunion. The hope would be that James Storm and Bobby Roode can remain relevant while carrying the tag team division once again. It would help fill the void that is being left by the potential departures of Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian.
April 24, 2014
With so many of their performer contracts expiring this year, TNA officials have been busy with negotiations and signings. The latest person to put pen to paper is Gunner, a rising star in the promotion. With the deal, he is expected to remain with the company for a couple of years, and he is also expected to continue on his push since splitting with James Storm.
April 16, 2014
While the company has recently suffered the loss of AJ Styles and Chris Sabin, it appears that TNA has been able to retain one of their longtime stars. James Storm has signed a new multiple year deal to stick around. The former world heavyweight champion is expected to be given a nice push after he finishes up his program with Gunner.
April 13, 2014
Independent wrestling shows are usually done on the weekends, but a promotion in Tennessee has decided to do a rare one on a Wednesday. James Storm has been booked to be the headliner, and he will be going up against former TNA star Chase Stevens. Crimson, another former TNA star, is also working the event as well, but his opponent has not been revealed yet.
March 26, 2014
Internally, TNA is hoping that they can build up Gunner over the next several months, so that he can become a title challenger for Brutus Magnus and the world heavyweight championship. His program with James Storm and fantastic match at TNA Lockdown 2014 helped increase his credibility in the eyes of the fans. Management will be doing more of that as well.
March 15, 2014
At TNA Lockdown 2014, James Storm and Gunner put on a tremendous show inside of the steel cage. While they were both praised backstage for the match itself, both are receiving individual praises as well. James Storm is being lauded for making his opponent look like a million bucks, while Gunner is receiving words of encouragement because he is starting to look like a star.
March 11, 2014
In a crowd pleasing segment at TNA Lockdown 2014, Gunner was able to secure one of the biggest wins of his career by defeating James Storm in a Last Man Standing match after Storm was unable to get back up from a superplex through two steel chairs.
March 9, 2014
There are talks that James Storm will be having quite a bit role at Slammiversary, which was just recently announced to be taking place in Dallas. The feeling within TNA is that his southern gimmick would be quite the draw for fans in Texas. He is currently engaged in a program with Gunner, and that feud could be escalated into a top tier one by June.

Signs and Symptoms of Concussion from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Heads Up Toolkit Parent Handout
Signs Observed by Parents: -Appears dazed or stunned -Is confused about assignments or position -Forgets an instruction -Is unsure of game, score or opponent -Moves clumsily -Answers questions slowly -Loses consciousness (even briefly) -Shows behavior or personality changes -Can't recall events prior to hit or fall -Can't recall events after hit or fall Symptoms Reported by Athlete:-Headache or "pressure" in head -Nausea or vomiting -Balance problems or dizziness -Double or blurry vision -Sensitivity to light -Sensitivity to noise -Feeling sluggish, hazy, foggy or groggy -Concentration or memory problems -Confusion -Does not "feel right"
As high school football players gear up for post-season competition, parents, coaches and young athletes are focused on playing smart and aggressively to beat out their opponents. On the day of competition, many of these teams may be faced with a star athlete becoming injured and having to make the crucial call: Keep him in or take him out? In the past, getting back in the game after a "ding" or "getting your bell rung" and "playing it out" was commonplace, expected and a sign of toughness. Now, returning a young athlete to play after a head injury is not only dangerous and strongly discouraged by professional societies such as the American College of Sports Medicine and the American Academy of Pediatrics, but in some states, like Washington, it is also illegal. Any parent whose child plays football or other high-risk sports like soccer, lacrosse and ice hockey, or any sport in which a child is at risk for a head injury, should absolutely be concerned about concussions.
A concussion is caused by an impact injury to the brain, resulting in symptoms such as headache, irritability and other changes in behavior (see sidebar, "Signs and Symptoms of Concussion from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention"). Loss of consciousness is not necessary for an athlete to have a concussion; in fact, loss of consciousness is uncommon. While some athletes who have suffered a concussion will experience symptoms immediately, others may not notice symptoms for days and possibly even weeks after the injury.
The severity of a concussion is affected by past history of concussion (those athletes who have had a concussion in the past are at increased risk for both a repeated and more severe concussion), neck strength, the magnitude and location of the impact and whether an athlete has experienced a prolonged loss of consciousness (longer than one minute). Young athletes, especially females, are at higher risk of concussion, and children and teens also take longer to recover than adults.
Any athlete who has experienced a concussion should be removed from same-day play and be evaluated by a physician. While some athletes who "feel fine" after a brief period of disorientation or confusion or other sign suggesting a concussion may want to get back in the game, the risk is never worth it. An athlete who experiences a "second blow" while still symptomatic from a previous concussion is at increased risk for a prolonged recovery and, in some cases, even permanent brain damage or death. As many experts advise, "When in doubt, keep them out."
Other long-term effects of concussions are mostly unknown. Most athletes seem to recover fully without permanent effects. However, some studies have found that athletes with two or more concussions perform poorly in school and have information-processing delays. Some athletes with a history of repeated concussions report changes in the way they think, feel and communicate with others. They also have experienced changes in memory, personality and cognitive functioning. Depression and inability to concentrate are common. An autopsy of an 18-year-old multisport athlete who had suffered multiple concussions playing football found evidence of chronic traumatic encephalopathy, severe brain damage previously found only in the autopsies of a number of professional football players and boxers.
A physician will carefully evaluate an individual who has suffered a head injury for continued symptoms. An athlete is safe to resume exercise when he or she experiences no symptoms at baseline, is on no medications to control symptoms and has a normal physical exam. The return to exercise will occur in a graded fashion, typically taking seven to 10 days for a complete recovery (see sidebar, "Recommended Stepwise Return to Play from the American Academy of Pediatrics"). Some athletes, however, may experience symptoms for weeks to months. During the time of recovery, athletes should rest both physically and cognitively. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that while a child is symptomatic, he or she should not attend school, watch television, play video games, read or otherwise engage in cognitively demanding activities. Upon return to school, a recovering child may require a shortened school day, decreased workload, more time for tests and sufficient time to make up school work. The pediatrician can help to explain to school officials the importance of this cognitive rest.
While concussions cannot be entirely prevented, coaches, parents and athletes can take several steps to decrease risk. This includes:
In the midst of the excitement and energy generated from competitive sports, youth athletes and their parents and coaches must not overlook the importance of prevention, early identification and treatment of concussions. More information is available from the CDC's Heads Up campaign.
The scientific understanding of concussions in youth athletes is constantly evolving. The statistics and information contained within this blog are from two excellent publications, which represent the most recent guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American College of Sports Medicine:

In approving wind-energy incentives, lawmakers hope to make Nebraska a player
Nebraska, an also-ran so far in the race to develop wind energy, took another step Wednesday to try to catch up with the pack. On a 38-2 vote, state lawmakers gave final approval to a bill granting sales tax breaks to wind farms. Proponents said the measure would make the state competitive for projects that are now going to Iowa, Kansas and Oklahoma, where such breaks are already offered.
A Floating Wind Tower Is Launched in Maine
One reason that offshore wind has not caught on in the United States is the steep cost of erecting a tower in the water, but researchers at the University of Maine tried another approach on Friday by launching a floating wind machine. It is the first offshore wind installation in United States waters, according to the Energy Department, which helped pay for it.
First grid-connected floating turbine is launched off Maine's coast
The Energy Department and University of Maine announced today the launch of the nation's first grid-connected offshore floating wind turbine prototype off the shore of Castine, Maine. The 65-foot-high prototype is the world's first concrete-composite floating wind turbine to be deployed. It is only one-eighth the size of a planned 6-megawatt, 423-foot rotor diameter design that will anchor a larger wind farm planned by the University of Maine-led DeepCwind Consortium.
Outgoing chairman fields calls on C-SPAN, reflects on his legacy
The chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission said today that he's stepping down because he has been there "a long time" and has managed to push through major reforms in grid planning and oversight of the energy markets. "I've been there seven years, which is a long time for a FERC commissioner," Chairman Jon Wellinghoff said during an interview with C-SPAN's "Washington Journal." "I think it's time to move on, look for other opportunities and sort of turn it over to the next group."
Chairman — a champion of clean power — resigns
A former Nevada consumer advocate, Wellinghoff came to FERC to fill a vacant seat in 2006 with the backing of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.). He was reconfirmed in 2008 for a full five-year term as a commissioner, and Obama tapped him in March 2009 to become chairman — a step that didn't require Senate confirmation. His current term expires June 30. It remains unclear whether Obama will tap a sitting Democratic FERC commissioner — Cheryl LaFleur or John Norris — to take the commission gavel or whether he will pick an outsider.
Berkshire unit buying NV Energy for $5.6 billion
Berkshire Hathaway's MidAmerican Energy utility said Wednesday that it will buy Nevada electric and natural gas company NV Energy for $5.6 billion as it expands its footprint in the energy sector. MidAmerican has been aggressively investing in renewable energy projects in recent years, and the companies expect that MidAmerican's experience will help NV Energy develop renewable projects in Nevada, which has vast solar, wind and geothermal resources.
BLM approves major project that critics say threatens Calif. condors
The Obama administration announced today it has granted final approval of the Alta East Wind Project in Southern California that includes a first-ever authorization allowing the project proponent to injure or kill an endangered condor during the 30-year life of the project. The Bureau of Land Management's announcement that it has approved a record of decision (ROD) and plans to issue a right of way grant authorizing the 153-megawatt project touched off a wave of concern among environmental groups, who fear that authorizing the "take" of a California condor could set a dangerous precedent.
Recurring GOP bill updated to include wind tax credit phaseout
A House Republican has updated his recurring energy bill this year to include a phaseout of a key renewable energy tax credit, marking the first inclusion in formal legislation of an idea the wind industry floated last year. Rep. Mac Thornberry (R-Texas) introduces his "no more excuses" energy bill every Congress, outlining a lengthy wish list of policies for oil, natural gas, nuclear and renewable energy, including calls to allow expanded oil drilling on federal lands and waters and to extend targeted renewable electricity and alternative fuel tax credits.
Iowa student makes case for larger wind turbines
Grant Schmitz can't remember exactly what triggered his interest in engineering. But it might have been family vacations to Colorado as a child. Schmitz, now 24, can remember traveling there from his home in Audubon, Iowa, in the late 1990s and walking over the Royal Gorge Bridge. He was fascinated with how one of the world's highest suspension bridges, at more than 950 feet above ground, could safely span the gorge.

A powerful documentary by Christian filmmaker Reuben Evans tells a unique story involving his wife who was almost aborted before being adopted as a baby.
Evan's "Reunion" follows Kim Coppe, a Christian mother who first got pregnant at age 17 and chose to give her daughter up for adoption. In the documentary, Coppe recounts her inner turmoil and complete dependence on God during the pregnancy, as well as the unshakable faith it took to offer her child to another family.
"I was raised by my godly mother through my teen years, and I went to school and was outspoken in my testimony of strong faith," she explains in the film.

"The Good Lie," a film that tells the story of the lost boys of Sudan and their plight to escape civil war and assimilate into American culture hit theaters last week and is a movie Christians should not miss, according to some prominent evangelical leaders.
The film takes place during the real South Sudanese civil war of the 1980s and 90s that displaced millions of natives, forcing them into refugee camps where some of them were able to gain access to living in the U.S through several faith-based and government initiatives.
WEA (World Evangelical Alliance) Secretary General Geoff Tunnicliffe screened the movie and discussed it with the creators and stars, including Reese Witherspoon.

Arizona Synagogue Educating Public About Kosher Wine
|Rabbi Yossie Shemtov, director of Chabad of Tucson, is coordinating a kosher wine raffle in conjunction with Purim celebrations March 20.
Jeremy Lite always looks forward to Purim, but this year, there's even more excitement in store. He and his wife, Sharon, bought four raffle tickets that make them eligible to win 101 bottles of kosher wine and a cooler to store it all, which will be given away Sunday, March 20, at the Purim party at their Tucson, Ariz., synagogue.
Word is spreading fast about this year's special celebration at the Chabad-Lubavitch run Congregation Young Israel, which in addition to a tent of activities for kids ranging from juggling to clowns, a unicycle and games, will host an elegant wine tasting, complete with gourmet Chinese food and kosher sushi indoors for adults. There will be the traditional reading of the Scroll of Esther, as well as a review of wine and Jewish history.
"We really wanted to promote the concept of kosher wine," said Rabbi Yossie Shemtov, who will draw the winning ticket. It's a mitzvah to drink wine on Purim in a responsible way, he said, noting that what sets the event apart is the combination of the ability to educate people about kosher wine, offer a tasting and raise funds for the organization.
- Purim(344)
"My hope is that every Passover Seder table in Tucson should only have kosher wine," he added, noting that the eight-day holiday comes just a month after Purim. "Quality kosher wine."
The event will benefit a host of programs run by Chabad of Tucson, including an effort to provide kosher for Passover food for Jewish prisoners throughout the state, and the organization's Seders for prisoners and local community members in Tucson. It will also benefit its preschool, summer camp and weekly Torah classes.
(For Chabad.org's directory of Purim celebrations around the world, click here.)
Lite said he's happy to support the organization, which does so much for the community, and added that he's more than a bit curious to try the kosher wines. He's especially eager to survey the selection at the event, which is co-sponsored by online retailer kosherwine.com.
"I'll tell you, there's a lot of really good things about Tucson, but a wide selection of kosher wines is not one of them," he explained. The common conception is that kosher wine is "not very good" he added, which leads to a lack of interest in the product. But that could all change over Purim.
He's looking forward to the unique experience, which will add to the synagogue's usual regimen of scotch and beer.
"I can't say that we're wine connoisseurs out in here in the desert of Arizona, but we'll give it a shot," he said.
Participants will be eligible for a discount on the online distributor's website.
Suzanne Cummins, who teaches at the University of Arizona, said she thinks the wine tasting and raffle event will be a lot of fun, and she doesn't even really drink.
"I'm a total teetotaler, but my husband likes wine and my sons like wine," she said, adding that the wine will make bringing something appropriate to everyone's table easier. "You can give it to people when you go to their house; it's just nice to have [and] it's a wonderful prize."
Cummins, who has known Yossie and Chanie Shemtov since the early 1990s, said while her experience with wine is usually limited to a sip of the drink at the Shemtovs' Sabbath table, she's glad to see kosher wine evolving beyond the sugar-laden concoctions most people remember from days past.
"So now 101 bottles is a gift. Maybe 15 years ago, it would have been a sentence: What am I going to do with this?" she joked.
For Robert Indik, a math professor at the university, the prospect of winning a stocked wine cooler holds a lot of promise. He's purchased one ticket so far, but said he might buy a couple more. And even if he doesn't win, he said he expects he'll come home with some bottles. Having switched from drinking non-kosher wines to a focus on kosher wines, he said it's harder to find ones that he likes.
He's hoping the experience opens up possibilities for people like him, who find it hard to drink the kosher wines, to find bottles that interest them. Then he can look for them online.
"The fact that we'll be able to taste it really makes a difference," he added.
Tickets are $54 for a single ticket, $136 for three and $180 for four, and include admission to the event. The raffle is open to anyone who buys a ticket, said Rabbi Yehuda Ceitlin, Chabad of Tucson's director of development, adding that the organization will ship the prize anywhere in the continental U.S.
As part of its sponsorship, kosherwine.com will be offering a five-percent-off coupon with a special code, and will also give five percent of the proceeds to Chabad of Tucson.

Draft and Trade Talk Message Board
Too much for Julio?
I start 2 qbs and 3 wrs. I have Peyton Manning and Matt Ryan as my qbs.
I have 5 wrs that i need to fit into three spots. I have Harvin who ill start no matter what. I have torrey smith, brandon lloyd, justin blackmon and demaryius thomas who i will start to team up with peyton. I expect big things from smith this year. Is giving lloyd and smith too much to give up for julio?Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Sorry I have to agree with the board. Too much for Julio. You might be able to get someone farther down the ranks. Maybe Nicks. Maybe Jordy.
I'd try going for someone like Malcolm Floyd. Number 1 receiver in SD now, huge sleeper, everyone seems to forget about him. I'd match him up against lloyd and smith. Or lloyd and blackmon.
Not nearly enough. Do not insult the guy by making that offer.

Realistically Julios numbers arent going to be much better than Smiths at the end of the year. I realize that julio jones is jerry rice all of a sudden but in reality julio will probably end up with 1100-1200 yards receiving with 10-13 tds. Smith will end up with 900-1000 yards and 8-10 tds. If i didnt have ryan i wouldnt go after julio.
Nobody will give you Julio even if you offered all 5 of your WRs IMO.
- 1 Reply to JD
Lol well theyd be pretty stupid then thats for sure. I realize Julio is the flavor of the month and i do think he will have a great year but people are getting a bit carried away with the guy.
HumanStorch HumanStorch Sep 3, 2012 9:14 AM Flag
That would be a steal, doubt that someone would deal Jones for that.
Lloyd is so overhyped and while I like Smith, Jones is the real deal and could end up as the #1 WR in FF.

This is addressed on the smartmontools web page: Smartmontools should work correctly with SATA drives under both linux 2.4 and 2.6 kernels, if you use the standard IDE drivers in drivers/ide. If you use the new libata drivers, it won't work correctly because libata doesn't yet support the needed ATA-passthrough ioctl() calls. Jeff Garzik, the libata developer, says that this support will be added in the future. When this happens, we'll add support to smartmontools for a new SATA/libata device type '-d sata'.

- Release Date: Oct 7, 2011
- Summary: Paris, 1960. Jean-Louis lives a bourgeois existence absorbed in his work, cohabitating peacefully with his neurotic socialite wife Suzanne while their children are away at boarding school. The couple's world is turned upside-down when they hire a Spanish maid Maria. Through Maria, Jean-Louis is introduced to an alternative reality just a few floors up on the building's sixth floor, the servants' quarters. He befriends a group of sassy Spanish maids, refugees of the Franco regime, who teach him there's more to life than stocks and bonds. The women's influence on the house brings change… muy rápido!

The French have a knack for it. They've been making funny and agreeable movie farces for forever, and seeing The Women on the 6th Floor makes you hope they'll never stop.
The Women on the 6th Floor shouldn't work, but this efficient flick whisks away our cynicism.
Mr. Luchini has a touching way of opening up the repressed heroes he often plays, and Ms. Verbeke's droll manipulations - and genuine sweetness - are more than enough to justify the transformation that María and the other maids work on Jean-Louis's life.
Has a few things going for it -- a winning performance by Luchini and a small role by Pedro Almodóvar favorite Carmen Maura. But these talented folks can't compensate for a plot that strains credulity and lacks badly needed social bite. Wait for the DVD.
Still, this is one French comedy that could have used a little more hand wringing and a little less whimsy.
A coda set in 1965 seals the film's status as a bourgeois fantasy, but fear not: Paris' student and worker riots of 1968 are only a hair's breadth away.
The Women on the 6th Floor is delicate and sensitive and utter bollocks - a bourgeois wet dream made to soothe the souls and stir the loins of powerful men in midlife crisis. But some of us wish we could see this movie told from the maids' point of view.

Same-sex marriage banned on island, but bride legally a woman after undergoing first state-sanctioned sex change.
A gay man and a transgender woman have married in a first-of-its-kind wedding for Cuba.
Read on: Gender X allowed on Australian passports
Ignacio Estrada, 31, and Wendy Iriepa, 37, tied the knot as a transexual couple on Saturday at a government marriage office, where they signed a marriage certificate, exchanged rings and kissed before a state official.
Same-sex marriage is banned in Cuba but the couple's union did not break the law. Iriepa, the bride, is legally a woman after undergoing the country's first state-sanctioned sex change operation in 2007.
Read on: Talking about sex in Indonesia
"This is the first wedding between a transsexual woman and a gay man," Estrada said.
"We celebrate it at the top of our voices and affirm that this is a step forward for the gay community in Cuba."
The wedding, held on Fidel Castro's 85th birthday in what the couple had called a "gift" to the former leader, was aimed at advancing homosexual rights in Cuba.
Some of Cuba's best-known dissidents participated and US diplomats attended in a public show of support.
The bride arrived in a 1950s Ford convertible, sitting up on the backseat and holding a gay pride flag.
"I'm very happy and very nervous," Iriepa said as she stepped down from the car. "This is really the happiest day of my life."
More tolerant
Many gays and transsexuals have been fired from government jobs, jailed, sent to work camps or left for exile.
That climate of persecution was famously chronicled by exiled writer Reinaldo Arenas' autobiographical Before Night Falls, later a feature film starring Javier Bardem.
Today, even if deep-seated macho attitudes toward homosexuality have not entirely disappeared, the island and its government are much more tolerant.
The country's most prominent gay rights activist is Mariela Castro, Fidel Castro's niece and President Raul Castro's daughter.
She heads the National Sex Education Centre and is firmly established in Cuban officialdom.
Read on: South Africans decry rapes of lesbians
On arriving, Estrada said he was happy and nervous, but that the day's importance extended beyond him and his bride.
"This is a step forward for the gay community in Cuba," he said.
The couple met three months ago and fell in love, said Estrada, who has AIDS.

Nov 4, 2012The King of Kong is an excellent documentary. It portrays an engaging story and the director should be praised for how well the audience is positioned during the movie. Many great scenes, and wholly recommended.
Aug 27, 2010If you can shift your reality to believe that video games are the way of life and success, then "King of Kong" may be the most important movie ever made. If you can't, then it is just one of the most entertainingly weird cinematic experiences to ever be documented.
Nov 10, 2010This movie could of easily have been a mockumentary with the extreme characters involved. However, it isn't, this is real life complete with Heroes, Geeks and Villains. Despite Billy Mitchell being the villain, it is really him who makes it such a compelling movie. His extreme personality and egotistical drive make this as much an emotional journey as a geeky, game playing journey. Don't be put off by the subject matter, it is so much more than that.… Collapse
Dec 27, 2011"King of Kong - A Fistful of Quarters" - One Line Review!
The one word review would be amazing, but even if you aren't into video games, this documentary is incredible - There's some controversy after the making of it, but it's so funny and so good - Everyone should check it out. Available on Netflix' instant queue!
As impressive as it is geeky. Most of the principal characters look like they haven't seen daylight since "Pac-Man Fever" was on the charts.
A nuanced study in obsession, dedication, manipulation, ethics and how the all-American need to be the best at something -- anything -- can shape a life.

Communicating early and often with your child's teacher is an important aspect of ensuring your child has the best possible education. Yet, sometimes parent-teacher conferences can be stressful for a variety of factors. In this article we provide a how-to guide for making the most out of your parent-teacher conference experience.
The Common Core State Standards were developed as a means to prepare K-12 students for success in college or the workforce upon graduation from high school. Since their inception, they have been adopted by 43 states. While much support has been given for the standards, many criticisms have emerged as well.
Increasing birth rates among immigrant families from Asia and Central and South America, combined with lower birth rates among white families, means that for the first time in history, public school students in the United States are majority-minority. This shift in demographics poses difficulties for schools as they work to accommodate children of varying language abilities and socio-economic backgrounds.

Concerned about memory problems?
Please join us on November 18, 2014 for National Memory Screening Day, an annual initiative of the Alzheimer's Foundation of America. Take advantage of free, confidential memory screenings and pick up free educational materials about memory concerns, dementia, caregiving and successful aging.
Location: Newport 60+ Activity Center, Downstairs Education Room
Time: 10am - 2pm
Screenings are by appointment. Call 541-265-9617
Memory screenings are a significant first step toward finding out if a person may have a memory problem. Memory problems could be caused by Alzheimer's disease or other medical conditions. A memory screening is not used to diagnose any particular illness and does not replace consultation with a physician or other qualified healthcare professional.

I enjoy Dennis Lehane's writing, so it was fun to "meet" him in person. He was entertaining but didn't provide any great insights. He writes popular stuff but he's a really good writer so it would have been nice to hear more about his craft. The interviewer after his talk was silly and boring, but the main event was his talk. City Arts and Lectures tickets are normally expensive so it was great to have the Goldstar discount.
star this review starred report as inappropriate
The author provided a very entertaining insight into his writing background which include many humor filled stories of his family. It was a delightful evening.
Quotes & Highlights
"Moonlight Mile is] startlingly original … Instantly cinematic … This is a deft, suspenseful thriller that unfolds with increasing urgency until it delivers a visceral shock in its final moments. When it comes to keeping readers exactly where he wants them, Mr. Lehane offers a bravura demonstration of how it's done." —The New York Times
Dennis Lehane was born and raised in Dorchester, Massachusetts. Before becoming a full-time writer, he worked as a counselor with mentally handicapped and abused children, waited tables, parked cars, drove limos, worked in bookstores, and loaded tractor-trailers. His one regret is that no one ever gave him a chance to tend bar. Lehane and his wife, Angie, divide their time between Boston and the Gulf Coast of Florida.

The official website of Crime Writer and BBC Crime Correspondent Simon Hall
Simon Hall is the BBC's Crime Correspondent for the South West of England and the author of The TV Detective novels, in which a television reporter and a detective work together to solve a series of extraordinary crimes.
His books have been warmly praised as a fresh, distinctive and highly entertaining approach to crime writing. Simon's new novel, The Dark Horizon, has just been released and received with great pleasure by readers -
Its predecessor, Shadows of Justice, is a story of the fearful lengths that victims of crime are forced to when the law fails them. It too has been much enjoyed by readers -
Its forerunner, The Balance of Guilt, is the story of a shocking terrorist attack in a sacred place, the murky world of spies and the secret service, and an intricate conspiracy. It's the first of the novels to be based outside of Plymouth, and has been lauded by the critics.
Simon's previous novel, The Judgement Book, was named by Eurocrime as one of the top reads of last year. Some reviews
There are more details of all Simon's novels on the Books page.
A prequel has been released, about how Dan, the TV reporter, and Adam, the Chief Inspector, met. The TV Detective is based on Simon's first attempt at writing a novel, A Popular Murder, and has been rewritten and published due to public demand in finding out how the pair began working together. It's the story of the bizarre murder of a notorious businessman and has been applauded by readers as a highly enjoyable way of filling in the gaps in the characters' story.
Simon is currently working on two new books in the tvdetective series, which have been commissioned by Thames River Press. The first, a story of a murderous battle between generations, is due for release next year. The second, a tale of the final attempt to solve a notorious 25 year old mystery, is scheduled for release in 2015.
The popularity of Simon's work is growing quickly. He's been invited to give talks at a series of prestigious events, including the British Crime Writers' Association Annual Conference, the Agatha Christie, Daphne du Maurier, Appledore, Poole and Reading Crime festivals. He also holds workshops on the art of novel writing, something Simon admits often teaches him more than the audience. He's proud to have been invited to the Swanwick Writers' Summer School as the specialist crime writing tutor, the Winchester Writers' Festival, the Geneva Writers' Group, and to lecture about his work on international cruise ships.
Simon's writing combines modern, complex and cunning mysteries with a behind the scenes taste of the life of a TV News reporter. There are jealous newsroom rows and precious egos to navigate, chaotic live broadcasts to present, and angry and emotional interviewees to placate.
The books also provide a fascinating insight into how the power of television can be used to help catch criminals, something which is much more common than many people realise.
Despite being far from a child of the internet age, those who know about the brave new world have persuaded Simon to begin writing a blog, something he has now confessed to actually enjoying. The latest is featured below, with previous entries on the blog page. There, you can also sign up for a feed of the latest blog. It'll keep you up to date with Simon's writing, events, and occasional whimsical musings on any topic which happens to be entertaining him. He's even begun Tweeting.
You can follow him @thetvdetective.
At the request of a dramatics company, Simon has adapted a tvdetective mystery for the stage. As part of his commitment to raise money for good causes, he's made the play available for free on the condition that any money raised goes to a local charity. If other dramatics groups are interested in putting on the play, they can get in touch with Simon via the contact page.
Simon has also begun teaching creative writing and storytelling in schools, something he finds hugely satisfying. 'I love working with youngsters because of the sheer challenge of it. You just never know what they're going to ask, or how they'll react to some of the games I like to put in the sessions,' Simon reflects. 'But I very much believe the world of words should be fun, and it's such a wonderful feeling to fill young people with the joy of books and stories and to help them to love reading.'
The TV Detective site will take you on a tour of Simon's work, tell you about his latest events and give you an opportunity to get in touch.
Simon Hall welcomes you to his website.
It took me a few years to notice it, but there are definitely right and wrong seasons in which to set a book.
It was only after my fourth novel, The Judgment Book - a lovely cheery tale of human follies, blackmail and death - that I realised I tend to set my stories in the winter or autumn.
That wasn't planned in any grand sense, that they were the best times for creating the atmosphere I intended, it just happened.
And then I worked out why - if you're writing crime, with all the darkness it entails, you don't want lots of sunshine and light about, do you? That combo only goes and makes people happy and smiley, and you just can't have that in a crime novel.
I suspect it's down to the all important feel thing of this writing lark. You don't stop to ask why, you may not even know, but the way you write something just feels like it's doing the job.
On the subject of seasons, and feeling right, a quick visual interlude from these autumn days -
My beloved River Exe, at dawn at the weekend - just the sort of scene to set you up for some writing.
Anyway, back to the seasonal backdrop of a book. I did a little checking around and lo and behold, upon scanning through a few romance type novels I found many set in spring or summer.
Being me, I did then try writing one book in the warmer months (The Balance of Guilt, my fifth), and I think it worked, but only because I made some of the heat so oppressive the poor characters spent much of the novel drenched in sweat.
If not rain and cold, then baking heat - I'll create an unpleasant atmosphere and make my poor imaginary friends suffer somehow.
But it is worth thinking about when you're planning a story, because it's such an overarching part of the backdrop and I now do so more carefully. Choose your season with care!

Nokia Lumia 2520: It's A 10-Inch Windows RT Tablet
Sporting bright colors and lots of risk, the Lumia 2520 is the first attempt by the company to create a tablet. There's 4G LTE and a 2.2GHz Snapdragon 800 CPU inside, with a bright 650nit screen made out of Gorilla Glass 2, so that's a good start, but with Windows RT, things begin to look down ever so slightly. A 6.7MP rear camera featuring Zeiss optics and a 2MP front facing camera are your optics solutions.
The Lumia 2520's unsubsidized price (including LTE) is $499 in either a red/white glossy finish, or cyan and black matte paintjob when it ships in Q4. There's quick charging capabilities that let its 8000mAh battery go from naught to 50 percent charge in just 40 minutes, with a Nokia Power Keyboard which costs an extra $149, but promises an extra five hours of battery life plus two extra USB ports.
Front-facing stereo speakers and a weight of 615g, and Nokia has a well-rounded first-timer. Go, Nokia?!

For me, Stage2 is one of the most precious institutions Birmingham has got to offer, it is right up there together with the CBSO and the Birmingham Opera Company. Their productions are full of wit, invention, humour, surprise and great acting. Everybody is involved and committed, from main characters all the way to backstage helpers. We feel hugely privileged to be part of this community.
