Place of Birth
When you sign a developmental contract with WWE, more often than not, you're going to be spending a good amount of time in training and not on television. Of course, when you have the experience that Kevin Steen has, the wait is a lot shorter. The former ROH Heavyweight Champion, who is now going by the name of Kevin Owens, is scheduled to make his debut on December 11, 2014 at the Takeover: R Evolution event.
November 22, 2014
Reports have surfaced that WWE intends on having Prince Devitt and Kenta Kobayashi continue working as a tag team. A possible tag title run is being discussed. However, this might lead to some problems, as one of the things that Devitt reportedly requested when he signed his contract was that he not be forced to stay in developmental for too long of a period. Devitt feels that he has enough international experience to be qualified for the main roster.
November 22, 2014
When WWE decided to kill his push, Bo Dallas was understandably concerned about his spot on the roster. He is in even more jeopardy now, as reports have surfaced that Dallas has suffered an injury to his foot. He is said to need about two months off the road to recover. During that time frame, management might push someone else or even bring up a developmental wrestler in his place.
November 3, 2014
During a recent interview, Maxine revealed something very interesting that took place backstage in WWE. She stated that while she was working in the developmental program, she pitched an idea to management about her character and story line. About a day later, Maxine noticed that Aksana had been given that very gimmick that she had pitched to company officials.
October 31, 2014
A lot of eyes stay focused on the developmental program in WWE because that is usually where the next star will come from. The latest person to be viewed as the next one to be elevated to the main roster is Alexa Bliss. The diva has impressed management over the last couple of weeks, and some are even saying that she has moved past Ashley Flair in line. She is already ahead of Bayley and Sasha Banks at the moment.
October 29, 2014
Good news for wrestling fans who hope that the Undertaker remains in the industry in some sort of capacity after retirement. The legendary performer has agreed to work as an adviser for the WWE developmental program. He will make the occasional trip to the WWE Performance Center and provide evaluations and advice to the performers and the trainers.
October 24, 2014
Some interesting stuff came out of a recent interview that Mark Henry did with Newsday. The former world heavyweight champion revealed that he met Rock in Canada while he was playing professional football. Henry was up there training with Bret Hart and his family. Henry recruited Rock into joining WWE with him. While they were in developmental, the two of them even shared an apartment.
October 11, 2014
Friday was a big day for Maria Kanellis. She is now a married woman. For those of you that do not know, her husband is ROH star Mike Bennett, whom she has been dating for approximately three years now. There were talks of WWE bringing him into their developmental program a while back, but nothing has surfaced since then, so the belief is that the ship has sailed on that.
October 11, 2014
Nick Dinsmore has been released by WWE yet again. This time, though, he was functioning as a trainer for the developmental program. Dinsmore, who formerly wrestled for the company as Eugene, spent a year with the company, and the belief is that management opted not to renew his contract once it expired. Some are saying that this move was done for budgetary reasons.
October 2, 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
Since WWE likes to own the copyright to the names of their performers, most everyone is given a new moniker when they sign a contract. Prince Devitt is no exception. The international star will now be using the name Finn Balor while he works through the developmental phase. Depending on how fans react to the name, Devitt will more than likely be bringing that name with him to the main roster.
September 25, 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
While the hot rumors are pointing to Darren Young being eventually revealed by WWE as the man underneath the bunny suit, a lot of fans have been wondering who has been portraying the character on television as of late. Reports have surfaced that developmental wrestler Sami Zayn has been the one in the suit. He apparently portrayed the character on Monday Night Raw and at live events.
September 17, 2014
Professional wrestling and football have long had a connection, as a lot of players from the gridiron have successfully made the switch to the squared circle. Triple H wants that tradition to continue, so WWE is now targeting more football players to join their developmental program. While there are a couple of guys already on the roster with athletic backgrounds, the company is looking for guys with more name value. WWE is also willing to pay these guys more money than the wrestlers.
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
When he finally signed a developmental contract with WWE, many fans were under the impression that Kenta Kobayashi might be one of the rare exceptions who get to keep using their names. However, management opted against that and changed his name to Hideo Itami. The reason fro WWE doing this is because they want to be able to own the rights to the name in case he becomes a big star and leaves someday.
September 12, 2014
It has now been revealed that WWE pays their developmental wrestlers approximately $25000 a year. There's usually a two or three year commitment involved as well. An established guy like Kenta Kobayashi may be receiving a higher salary, however. The average amount is definitely less than what some of these guys with name value can make on the independent wrestling circuit.
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
After finishing off his commitments, Kevin Steen has now officially reported for duty with WWE. The former ROH champion posted on Twitter that it was his first day at the WWE Performance Center. While he is viewed as one of the best performers on the independent wrestling circuit, the belief is that management will keep him in developmental, so he can simplify his in ring style to suit the audience.
August 25, 2014
On Night of Champions 2014, Cody Rhodes and Goldust defeated Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso for the WWE tag team championship. Rumors are floating around that management felt that the twins had grown stale because they ran out of teams to defend the titles again. Plus, Rhodes has really been getting into his Stardust character, so the front office wants to see if the gimmick can pick up further steam with a championship push.
September 22, 2014
Reports are surfacing that WWE will be throwing a last minute fatal four way match together at Summerslam 2014, where Cody Rhodes, Goldust, Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, Luke Harper, Erick Rowan, Curtis Axel and Ryback will all be vying for the tag titles. Management does not view this division to be a priority at this time, even though fan interest has grown.
August 7, 2014
While rumors of a Nation of Domination stable are still floating around, there are also talks that WWE could simply be building up Kofi Kingston and Big E Langston as a tag team because they need a baby face fodder for Luke Harper and Erick Rowan. Management is seriously considering putting the tag titles on the Wyatt Family, and they're going to need more than Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso as challengers.
July 14, 2014
Since management wanted to fill in some time at WWE Battleground 2014, the decision was made to book Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan into a best of three falls match for the tag team championship. The two teams have produced some good matches for WWE, so management is hoping that they can fill in a good amount of time at the pay per view for them.
July 9, 2014
Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso had their biggest challenge to date when Erick Rowan and Luke Harper challenged them for the WWE tag team championship at Money in the Bank 2014. The twin brothers delivered by retaining the belt. The Usos performed a double superplex on Rowan before finishing him off with consecutive flying splashes from the top rope.
June 29, 2014
Over the last several months, the Usos have been given more of the spotlight. While some of that is due to the Total Divas connection, the main source of their push is due to Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso being backed by John Cena. The trio has grown close backstage. Cena doesn't often use his stroke with management, but he has encouraged management to push guys like Antonio Cesaro and Big E Langston before.
June 27, 2014
Over the weekend, John Cena was injured during his match against Bray Wyatt, who delivered some headbutts that were a bit more stiff than they needed to be. WWE immediately took steps to protect one of their most valuable assets by changing the main event of the following event. Cena was teamed up with Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso in a six man tag team match against Wyatt, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan instead.
June 9, 2014
Initially, there were rumors that WWE was going to add a tag team championship match at the last minute on Payback 2014 featuring Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan. However, management changed up their plans once they decided to include a lot of outside interference during the match between Bray Wyatt and John Cena. WWE did not want to take away from the big match by having the performers working multiple times last night.
June 2, 2014
In a segment filled with plenty of interference from Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, Luke Rowan and Erick Harper, John Cena was able to defeat Bray Wyatt in a Last Man Standing match at Payback 2014 after Cena put Wyatt through a big black box and covered him with an even heavier box. Rumors have it that WWE will be continuing this feud and something could trigger that on Monday Night Raw this week.
June 2, 2014
There are rumors floating around that WWE wants to add another match to Payback 2014. Speculations are that Erick Rowan and Luke Harper will be rewarded with a pay per view title match against Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso. There does not appear to be a high chance of a title change, as some feel that the Wyatt Family can get the spotlight without the belts.
June 1, 2014
"Almost a month on the road! We are headed back to the United States tomorrow! Thanks to all WWE fans in every country that we hit!" - Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso informing fans that they and the other WWE stars are heading back home after a lengthy tour of Europe.
May 26, 2014
WWE is not playing favorites during the current tour of Europe when it comes to Naomi Knight and Jimmy Uso. The newly married couple are working separate legs of the tour. Naomi is working with Paige and Cameron on the Raw shows, while Jimmy Uso is with Jey Uso on the Smackdown group. They will both be at Monday Night Raw together, though.
May 15, 2014
Earlier in the week, it was reported that Curtis Axel and Ryback would be receiving a shot at Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso and the WWE Tag Team Championship at Extreme Rules 2014, management has decided to put the match on the next episode of Monday Night Raw instead. A rematch at the pay per view is a possibility still.
April 27, 2014
As is usually the case with every pay per view, you can expect WWE to do last minute additions to the Extreme Rules 2014 match card. Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, Curtis Axel and Ryback are expected to get the seventh match on the card. If WWE needs another filler match, then Emma, Santino Marella, Layla El and Fandango are the top candidates for that spot.
April 27, 2014
A video of Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso teaming up with Sami Zayn to take on Corey Graves, Conor OBrian and Rick Victor on an episode of WWE NXT.
April 26, 2014
While it has yet to be officially confirmed, you can expect to see Curtis Axel and Ryback challenging Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso for the WWE tag team championship at Extreme Rules 2014. The seeds for the match was placed when the former Paul Heyman duo attacked the Usos after they defeated Cody Rhodes and Goldust on Monday Night Raw last week.
April 25, 2014
Despite working a segment that is building towards a feud for the tag team championship, Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso were removed from the Hulu version of Monday Night Raw this week. The brother tandem defeated Cody Rhodes and Goldust before setting up their program with Curtis Axel and Ryback. WWE still intends to continue the story line.
April 23, 2014
Rumors have sparked about Cody Rhodes and Goldust doing a heel turn soon. However, that is just pure speculation at this point, as a lot of people are under the belief that WWE was testing things out at the live event in Saudi Arabia earlier this week. The brothers worked a match against Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso, but it was simply a matter of filling out the card.
April 22, 2014
"Obvious that Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso have committed to getting main event phsyical conditioning. I wish them well. They had in ring skills when they were eight years old. That's a fact." - Jim Ross praising the Usos
April 17, 2014
In an action filled Wrestlemania 30 kickoff match, Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso retained the WWE tag team championship by defeating Diego, Fernando, Curtis Axel, Ryback, Jack Swagger and Antonio Cesaro in a fatal four way elimination tag team bout. Afterwards, Cesaro did a face turn after Swagger attempted to attack him for being pinned.

Disability pay for retired military. (Loud & Clear).
Guy E. Lively, Major, USA (Ret), Canal Winchester, Ohio
* I served in the Armed Forces, which guarded my country and our way of life, and I was prepared to give my life in their defense. Now retired, I am looking for our elected officials to provide some meaningful legislation that would benefit my comrades and me. However, Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert (R-IL), Rep. Dick Armey (R-TX), and Majority Whip Tom DeLay (R-TX) do not support us. Currently, the Pay Restoration Act of 2001 has 72 co-sponsors in the U.S. Senate (S 170), and 363 co-sponsors in the House of Representatives (HR 303). Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) and Congressman Mike Bilirakis (R-FL) are the respective sponsors of these bills. This bill would allow me and countless other retired career military veterans to collect both our service-connected VA disability compensation and earned military retirement pay concurrently, without an offset from either. At present, my disability payment from the government is subtracted from my retirement check. Is this fair? No, not when other federal employees can receive both a VA disability check and a full retirement from their federal government jobs. The disabled military retiree is the only class of federal retiree required to forfeit a dollar-for-dollar amount of military retirement to receive VA disability. At present this means that most enlisted and some warrant officer retirees who are disabled to 100%, lose their entire 20-year retirement. They effectively worked 20 or more years for zero dollars. Some politicians are just tike diapers-they need to be changed on a regular basis, and for the same reason.

The Rochester Red Wings wasted no time jumping on the Louisville Bats Sunday night, scoring four in the first and cruising to a 7-4 win before a Father's Day crowd of 8,590 at Louisville Slugger Field.
With two on and one out, Matt Carson belted a three-run home run to put the Wings on the board. Clete Thomas followed with a homer of his own to make it 4-0 before the Bats even had a crack at the bat.
Carson, who finished the night with three hits, added another homer in the sixth that made it 6-1.
Louisville (22-49) fought back in the seventh, getting back-to-back RBI doubles from Mike Costanzo and Dioner Navarro to trim the lead to 6-3.
In a microcosm of the Bats' season thus far, after cutting the lead to 6-3, the Bats gave up a run in the eighth on a freakish play. On an 0-2 pitch, Carson took off for third and scored on a wild pitch that kicked off the screen and rolled along the warning track in front of the Bats' dugout. The run extended the Wings' lead to 7-3.
Corky Miller's RBI single in the eighth extended his hitting streak to four games, tying his longest streak of the season. Felix Perez, who singled in the eighth also tied his season-long hitting streak at seven.
Pedro Villarreal started for the Bats and gave up six runs in six innings of work. It was the first time this season Villarreal has given up more than three earned runs in a game. Since winning his first two decisions of the season, Villarreal (2-4) has lost his last four. Louisville has now lost the last five games Villarreal has started.
The Bats open a four game series with the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees Monday night. Sean Gallagher (5-4, 5.15 ERA) will take the mound for Louisville opposed by John Maine (1-0, 6.00 ERA) of Scranton. First pitch for the game is scheduled for 7:05 p.m.

November 23, 2014
WINNEMUCCA, NV - A couple from Oregon was killed and two others injured in a single vehicle rollover on SR-140 near Winnemucca.
The Nevada Highway Patrol tells us the accident happened around 3:30 p.m. Sunday. They say a 2005 Chevy Avalanche pickup was heading north on SR140 when the truck drifted off the road and hit a road marker.
The driver, a 16-year-old girl, tried to correct the truck but caused it to rotate in a counter-clockwise direction and cross over to the southbound lane.
The driver again tried to correct the truck, which caused it to roll.
The 16-year-old driver and another passenger, 19-year-old Milissa May, were both flown to Renown Hospital with serious injuries.
Two other passengers, 49-year-old Kendall May and 46-year-old Rebecca May were killed.
All four people were wearing seat belts, but troopers say Rebecca May's was not on properly and she was ejected from the vehicle.
This crash remains under investigation.

Top 40 rekkids of 2013
28 déc. 2013, 6h20m par KMFCMSo, 2013 is over.
It was bullshit
I don't feel like talking too much about it.
i will say this though. . . .
Pretty much every top list for this year I've seen minus 3 or 4 (not counting friends) was made by someone who has mellowed out way too much (especially since a lot of these were "best of metal" lists.. . .really??).
I can promise you one thing, even though my list isn't just metal, my list brings that HARSH. There was enough harsh to go around this year, but it isn't getting ackowledged by enough people. I will do that right here right now(basically, Sunbather is not on my list. . . .and you read my verdict, so you know I don't hate it. It's a fine album, it just doesn't capture the mood of 2013 at all. . .nor does any of the shit everyone is losing their shit over this year in an attempt to get normies to listen)
. . .and the year was a bit overloaded, but I am pickier these days. . .so. . . here we go. . .

2012 was cool but I undoubtedly missed out on a bunch of dope shit; due to a decimated attention span, heightened drug use and, like, studying n shit, I didn't keep up with new music nearly as well as I would've wanted to. My apathy dictated that the bulk of the stuff I checked out were EPs, which, as far as I'm concerned, are the ideal format for a musical release. There's a bunch of albums I'll undoubtedly jizz my pants over when I finally get round to hearing them (Chris Cohen, Converge, HTDW etc) but for now, here's what's good:
20.Trim - Bandoolou
LORD OF LORDS is all that needs saying.
19. Black Breath - Sentenced to Life
Fast, filthy, crusty, the latter term describes BB's asscrushing riffs just as well as it does my undies an hour after my first listen to this album. If Entombedcore is a trend then i'm DOWN.
18. Kwes. - Meantime. EP
'LGOYH' = spine shivers for days.
17. Grimes - Visions
26 déc. 2012, 6h24m par aworldoficeI had a journal of all the albums I own on my last account, so I feel a need to recreate it. I'm not sure why I do this, considering that I have RYM for cataloging now, but since I've done it so far, there's no reason to stop now, I suppose.

14 jan. 2012, 3h09m par KMFCMthe best rekkids of 2011
2001 fucking blew ass. While many mellowed out, I felt more and more like DESTROYING EVERYTHING. . .and my choices this year reflect that. It was a disappointing year in many many many ways. . . .but musically, we made out okay I think (even with the sheer amount of disappointing music there was from unexpected sources).
This took really fucking long, because my computer kept taking a shit. . . .so. . . . I'm just posting it now so I can get to the new years releases. .. not that I've heard any of them yet.
40. Ringo Deathstarr - Colour Trip
bloody valentines, mary chains and 80s Al B Sure break beats (no, seriously, listen to the last track). . .it's all here.
39. Ulcerate - Destroyers of All
the "i see what you did there" album of the year. It's not the kind of thing I ever thought I'd hear, and it's kind of still sinking in even now.

Well, the store that we went to had the 800 and the 900. (not the 700)
We decided on the 800, because we weren't planning on blowing up any pictures. (in size.) The 900 wasn't necessary.
Colin, you are SO INCREDIBLY helpful!!!! Thank you.
(It doesn't say SLR, so I'm assuming it's not.)
Someone told me to look for the "aquarium mode" on it... sure enough, there IS one!!!! Once I get some decent pics., I'll put them on here!

Grammy-winning singer Beyoncé Knowles-Carter has shown a knack for penning open letters and made no exception with tennis superstar Serena Williams following an impressive French Open championship win last weekend.
A hand written letter from Bey to Williams has started to circulate across the Internet.
"Stunt on them Serena. 31 and in your prime. You have no idea how much you inspire all of us women. Im so proud of you. All my Love and Respect. Beyoncé" (Beyonce)
The note reportedly came shortly after Williams added more gold to her name by winning the French Open.
Beyoncé wrote a lovely note to Serena Williams after the tennis star won the French Open on Saturday. Yes, it has a girl-power vibe to it, why do you ask? Did she send this message via snail mail? Transcribe it from a text after lip-syncing it? Or was the note written solely for the purpose of posting on Facebook? It's most likely the last one, even though that sounds phony and shallow and we all know Beyoncé and her team are neither of those things. (USA Today)
Last year, Bey inked an open letter to First Lady Michelle Obama.
"Michelle, is the ULTIMATE example of a truly strong African American woman. She is a caring mother, she's a loving wife, while at the same time, she is the FIRST LADY!!!! No matter the pressure, and the stress of being under the microscope – she's humble, loving, and sincere. She builds and nurtures her family, while also looking out for so many millions in so many ways. Michelle, thank you so much for every single thing that u do for us – I am proud to have my daughter grow up in a world where she has people like you to look up to. Love, Beyonce." (Beyonce)
Her comments did not go unnoticed and sparked a reaction from Mrs. Obama.
"@Beyonce Thank you for the beautiful letter and for being a role model who kids everywhere can look up to. -mo," she tweeted April 13th.
".@Beyonce writes a lovely letter to FLOTUS: http://OFA.BO/D4A3JK" (Michelle Obama's Twitter)

This is the story of the Bramble family--Margaret, Max, and Edie--three adult siblings careening through wildly different byways of adult life. Margaret, mother of three, is about to take her ailing father into the tumult and chaos of her already overcrowded home. Edie is young and single, but struggling mightily to anchor her solitary life. Max, newly married, newly a father, is buckling under the weight of new responsibilities. Over the course of one critical season, a long hidden secret will be revealed, remaking each of them, and all they thought they knew about themselves.

"Consistently perceptive, even stunning. . . . [The Brambles] leaves you marveling . . . and looking forward to the author's next move." —The New York Times Book Review"Minot has the uncanny gift for rendering life in all of its messy glory." —The Washington Post"Minot's prose has the brilliant quality of sharpened detail you experience when you finally get eyeglasses, and that blurred green of the trees turns out to be composed of countless distinct leaves—when the ordinary turns out to be fully extraordinary."
—Newsday"Pitch-perfect. . . . In remarkable prose, Minot manages what few writers can pull off: She combines a rich complex story with the voice and sensibility of a poet." —St. Louis Post Dispatch

Why Couples are Turning to Chastity
Maybe it's the man who longs for the intensity of physical pleasure, a pleasure that can last for days.
In a recent online survey a sex site asked men how quickly they could ejaculate the average answer was 37 seconds. Many of these men are tired of the ten second tremble and want a more tumultuous, earth moving experience and that's exactly what chastity can give a man. Chastity can stop compulsive masturbation and stop internet porn surfing. After all with a chastity device the man has one thing on his mind, that's his release, and who holds the key, certainly not porn. Masturbation too for many men can lead to feelings of guilt, even feelings of weakness and self hatred; with chastity he has no worries.
Maybe it's the woman who longs to say goodbye to the mediocre 5 minute Sunday morning sex and wants to relish in a Five-Day-Fiesta. Many women complain that they don't want "McDonalds" sex. They want the slow lingering passion that they remember from their courtship. Read any dating book, Mars and Venus et al, and they will tell you that a woman likes to plan. Don't spring on a woman "We've been invited out tonight" at 6.00 when the taxi is arriving at 8.00, let her plan, let her prepare. Women love to "get ready" I don't just mean that in the sense of an evening, but their mind will wander, anticipate and look forward to a date, women can and do plan days in advance. This is the wonderful bonus of chastity, a woman can plan the scenario, she can enjoy the moment, anticipate and salivate about the experience to come.
Our sales figures show a ratio of 5:2 female buyers, our research from "conventional" chastity sites seems to indicate that they are the domain of male buyers. We were heartened by our figures because we know that couples are embracing the pleasures of chastity in all its diversity, and that means men and women. Is chastity about dominating a man? Well yes we agree some men like to be dominated; unusually it is some who have high powered jobs and lots of perceived power. Or is chastity about a dominating woman, or is it about empowering a woman to take a man's sexuality in her hands and control it similar to her own? There are so many dynamics involved in chastity the permutations are endless and every one different, just as we are.
We read on one website "most women buy chastity devices to correct sexual problems with their men". Our experience has been very different from this. Whilst there have been women purchasing chastity devices on behalf of an errant husband, and errant husbands purchasing them to prove devotion and renew flagging confidence every purchase is different. Whatever the choice we believe that a couple purchases a chastity device together, after all a woman cannot choose it and make her man wear it unless he is complicit in the journey. Chastity play is a delicious way to enjoy new found pleasures together, whatever the reasons behind it.
Some of the fun around chastity play can be discussing the boundaries, after all when a couple starts dating they spend hours discussing the progress of their relationship, their hopes and fears, their expectations. Chastity can be enlightening because they once again discuss their boundaries, their hopes and fears of what chastity will bring to their relationship. Chastity can bring, a new awareness, a new beginning, where expectations, hopes and fears are discussed just like at the beginning of a new relationship with a trusted loving and committed partner.
One thing is true, a couple who experience chastity together, enjoy each other on a level sometimes unimagined.

Its almost impossible to mess this recipe up.
There is no off taste from the extract as some have claimed.
When you want to make beer, but are pressed for time, this brew is a godsend for me.
Its my House Brew, eveyone likes it.
You could try a Hefe yeast..... I will try that next time.
They call him easy.....easy brewer.....
Awesome setup! I dream of the day I can have three carboys going at once. That really sounds like a great wheat beer. And +1 on the US-05. I love that stuff.
I just kegged a batch of this today. I wanted a more swmbo friendly session beer so I used 1 less pound of Extract. Tasted great even not carbed.
Sounds like fun and like something the wife will enjoy. Cheers!
I just made this today, though I kept the orange and coriander out (as I'm prepping to brew a blue moon clone soon) with the intention of adding apricot either in a secondary or (with extract) at bottling time. Looking forward to it - thanks for the easy recipe.
Here is a pic. Been in the keg for almost a month.
Filled the glass, had nice head. Great lacing.
Sorry drank a bit on the way to take the pic.
For some reason this takes some time to carb. ????
I dunno why. Even on 60 psi, doesnt seem to matter. Takes two weeks to carb how I like it.
I like the idea of this. I don't have a good way to keep anything below 70 at this point though. How would this work if I fermented at room temp instead?
I have used Safale 05 at room temp for other brews.
Honestly though this is the best way I hae found to lower my fermenting temps without a ferm chamber:
This is simply a shelf, placed against the concrete wall in my basement. I have encased the shelf with sheets of pink foam insulation. You can see the insulation in the pic. I can only control the temp a small amount, but more importantly, temp is consistant and light free.
I think keeping it from light and consistant temps as low as possible is the best bet.

- A must have! Review by Rosemarie
This video is a treasure to have. You will gain confidence on how to paint landscapes in pastel, both soft pastel and Pan Pastel. It is very informative. Johannes tells more about his painting technique than he does in his other demos in pastel which simplifies for a newbie like me.

- Mrs Review by Arlene
I have been painting oil and watercolor for decades. I am new to pastel and did not find this video helpful. Half the time I thought the camera was not close enough to the canvas to actually see what he was doing. Maybe I choose a subject too hard for a beginner.

- AT LAST!!! Review by Connie
I have been waiting for this Pastel DVD ever since Jo and North Light started releasing the DVDs for each of the mediums he teaches. I ordered this one as soon as I received notice that it had been released. I was so glad to get it that I immediately opened it to watch. I will tell you I was not disappointed in it's content! It is a little different as Jo paints a little looser on this DVD than he does in his demos but, it is just what I needed. I have all of the downloads that North Light has released of Jo's work. He is an excellent teacher as he talks continually during his demos telling you why he is doing what he is doing. Also if he makes a error, as everyone will do upon occasion, he shows you how to correct it. Definitely 5 stars!!!

With the support of the Kennedy family, best-selling National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence Robert D. Ballard embarks on the search for PT-109, the boat made famous by commander John F. Kennedy's heroic rescue efforts following a harrowing collision with a Japanese destroyer in WWII. The companion to a major National Geographic Explorer television documentary Forty years after his death and 60 years after his first collision with history four miles off the island of Gizo in the South Pacific, John F. Kennedy and his story still inspires readers. JFK's heroic efforts to save his 11-man PT 109 (personal torpedo boat) crew including - swimming close to 80 miles over a period of six days through Japanese- and shark-infested waters, at one point even towing an injured crewman by a rope in his teeth for a two-mile swim- come to life interwoven through a comprehensive history of PT boats and the World War II campaign in the Solomon Islands. Collision with History combines first person presence on Ballard's search expedition for the wreckage, survivor accounts, and Kennedy family members' recollections to introduce the reader to the young war hero who would later become president. Covering subjects such as modern exploration, World War II, and personal heroism, Ballard weaves a tale that spans 60 years.

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Discovery of the Titanic'
As Woods Hole oceanographer Robert Ballard demonstrates in his absorbing, profusely illustrated book about his years-long hunt for the wreck of the Titanic, science isn't all that different from Hollywood. Just as a Hollywood type--say, the director whose quest to make the world's most expensive film is chronicled in Paula Parisi's Titanic and the Making of James Cameron--must use the cachet of his studio connections to raise cash, a Woods Hole scientist must use that eminent institution's reputation to win financing for his or her projects. Like the movie that sprang from the finding of the wreck, Ballard's scientific exploration is a tale of triumph against long odds. He's also got some good historical data on the drama of the sinking. Here are a few ear-witness accounts of the moment of the iceberg's impact on the Titanic: "A disquieting ripping sound like a piece of cloth"; "A thousand marbles"; "As though somebody had drawn a giant finger along the side of the ship." Ballard quotes the most precise description of the fatal instant, given by colorful Second Officer Lightoller: "Not that it was by any means a violent concussion, but just a distinct and unpleasant break in the monotony of her motion." Ballard's book helps you get the feeling of climbing aboard and being there for that distinctly unpleasant moment. --Tim Appelo

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Eternal Darkness: A Personal History of Deep-Sea Exploration'
Until a few decades ago, the ocean depths were almost as mysterious and inaccessible as outer space. Oceans cover two-thirds of the earth's surface with an average depth of more than two miles--yet humans had never ventured more than a few hundred feet below the waves. One of the great scientific and archaeological feats of our time has been finally to cast light on the "eternal darkness" of the deep sea. This is the story of that achievement, told by the man who has done more than any other to make it possible: Robert Ballard.
Ballard discovered the wreck of the Titanic. He led the teams that discovered hydrothermal vents and "black smokers"--cracks in the ocean floor where springs of superheated water support some of the strangest life-forms on the planet. He was a diver on the team that explored the mid-Atlantic ridge for the first time, confirming the theory of plate tectonics. Today, using a nuclear submarine from the U.S. Navy, he's exploring the ancient trade routes of the Mediterranean and the Black Sea for the remains of historic vessels and their cargo. In this book, he combines science, history, spectacular illustrations, and first-hand stories from his own expeditions in a uniquely personal account of how twentieth-century explorers have pushed back the frontiers of technology to take us into the midst of a world we could once only guess at.
Ballard begins in 1930 with William Beebe and Otis Barton, pioneers of the ocean depths who made the world's first deep-sea dives in a cramped steel sphere. He introduces us to Auguste and Jacques Piccard, whose "Bathyscaph"descended in 1960 to the lowest point on the ocean floor. He reviews the celebrated advances made by Jacques Cousteau. He describes his own major discoveries--from sea-floor spreading to black smokers--as well as his technical breakthroughs, including the development of remote-operated underwater vehicles and the revolutionary search techniques that led to the discovery and exploration of the Titanic, the Nazi battleship Bismarck, ancient trading vessels, and other great ships.
Readers will come away with a richer understanding of history, earth science, biology, and marine technology--and a new appreciation for the remarkable men and women who have explored some of the most remote and fascinating places on the planet.
› Find signed collectible books: 'Explorations'
In 1985, Robert Ballard the oceanographer, using a miniature diving bell complete with sophisticated underwater camera craft, discovered the long lost wreck of the White Star liner the "Titanic", two miles deep in the north Atlantic. Two years later, using the same equipment he rediscovered the wreck of the World War II German battleship, the "Bismarck". Since then, he has conducted dramatic underwater surveys of the lost World War II ships of Guadalcanal in the pacific, and most recently, the Cunard liner, the "Lusitania", the ship whose sinking off the Irish coast brought the Americans into World War I. But Ballard has also held intelligence jobs in the US Navy and found hitherto unknown marine life on the Pacific ocean floor.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Graveyards of the Pacific: From Pearl Harbor to Bikini Island'
Graveyards of the Pacific offers exactly what readers expect from National Geographic: A beautiful book full of outstanding photos and graphics. It is worth reading (bestselling historian Stephen E. Ambrose writes the introduction), but even better to look at. Coauthor Robert D. Ballard, of course, is the explorer best known for discovering the Titanic on the Atlantic seabed. As the title suggests, Graveyards of the Pacific focuses on the Second World War. It includes fewer underwater photos than what one might expect from a book coauthored by Ballard--no more than a dozen or so. But each is well selected: A Japanese torpedo lying on the floor of Pearl Harbor, planes encrusted by decades of marine growth, the mast of an aircraft transport surrounded by fish and covered with seaweed--in the shape of a cross, it looks "like an underwater shrine"--and vessels sunk during the Bikini Atoll atomic bomb tests. Most of the photographs and other illustrations (there are more than 150 in total) are contemporary pictures taken during the war, from a blurry image of Japanese battleships heading toward Pearl Harbor before the sneak attack to a sequential series of photos showing a kamikaze plane approaching an American aircraft carrier, and then smashing into it. The text of the book moves back and forth between historical descriptions of the naval war and accounts of how Ballard found many of the ships lost during the fighting. His most significant discovery in the Pacific was probably the U.S.S. Yorktown, destroyed during the battle of Midway in 1942 and now resting 17,000 feet below the waves. The description of its dark, final resting place is eerie: It "looks like a huge craft dropped down from space, shorn of many of the antenna and cables and protrusions that had once made her serviceable, but now reduced to her core, which is still massive and formidable. ...[A] huge sunken sea-beast from another time, a steel dinosaur out of another era, when deluded men still thought they could conquer the world." As Graveyards of the Pacific proves once again, we are fortunate to have Ballard embarking on an altogether different kind of conquest. --John Miller

On the morning of June 7, 1942, six months to the day after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the USS Yorktown "turned over on her port side and sank in about 3,000 fathoms of water with all battle flags flying." Many of her men watched from the decks of the Vireo, the Benham, the Hughes, and the Hammann, weeping as the Old Lady went down. The Battle of Midway was finally over. Though the Yorktown was lost, the battle was won--what John Keegan has called "as great a reversal of strategic fortune as the naval world has ever seen." From that point on, the Japanese remained primarily on the defensive at sea.
On the morning of May 19, 1998, Robert D. Ballard stared into a video monitor hoping for a glimpse of metal on the bottom of the sea. "Thar she blows! Bingo!" After almost three weeks out, painstakingly scanning the ocean floor with high-altitude sonar, and many months of research and planning, Ballard and his crew had spotted the Yorktown some three miles down. The wreck was in remarkably good condition: "It was as if we had stumbled on the ship a few minutes after it made its death plunge."
In Return to Midway, Ballard weaves a compelling narrative, blending the story of the famous battle with his battle to find the sunken ships--the Yorktown and the USS Hammann, as well as four Japanese aircraft carriers. First-hand accounts by the men who were there, including two Japanese and two American servicemen who joined Ballard and his crew for the hunt, as well as paintings and archival photographs, detail the battle in all its horror, while capturing the honor of the men who fought on both sides. Military-history buffs will find this book--the first in decades specifically about the Battle of Midway--especially valuable, though fans of Ballard's work as an oceanographer will be equally captivated. --Sunny Delaney

Almost twenty years after making the world's most famous underwater discovery, Robert Ballard returns to Titanic with hi-tech cameras and robots to provide the clearest, most dramatic images ever seen. Ballard documents what has become of the world's best-known ship, torn apart by salvagers over the last 2 decades, and pronounces a new and vital conservation ethos - that future such wrecks must be preserved as historical monuments. This compelling, illustrated book is a journey back in time to the tragic sinking of the Titanic in 1912; a hard look at the present salvaging and natural deterioration of the wreck; and a blueprint for future conservation of this icon. Says Ballard, "every possible book has been written on the Titanic, and Titanic addicts have them all. They will not have this." RETURN TO TITANIC brings new dimension, visually and factually. First, the incomparable hi-tech cameras Ballard created to document wrecks on the Mediterranean seafloor in summer 2003 will be used to reveal the changes in Titanic since the first images were made by National Geographic in 1985. Second, he will analyze the salvaging of the wreck by private groups, as well as the natural deterioration since 1985; finally he will establish the global conservation ethos that this and other wrecks be revered as "pyramids of the deep," rather than ransacked. TITANIC has 5 chapters in 192 pages, with 125 images, diagrams, and maps. Images will include period pictures and drawings from the early 1900s, pictures of the 1985 discovery of the wreck, and modern images, culminating in the hi-tech images of the June 2004 expedition. Sweeney's deft hand combines with Ballard's own intriguing story of discovery, his masterminding of robots and hi-definition cameras to document the wreck, and his commitment to conservation in the 21st century. The human element plays a big part in RETURN TO TITANIC, as Ballard and Sweeney clarify that technology and conservation are but means to preserving the spirits of the humans lost in the tragedy. Sidebars throughout, identify the artifacts of survivors, such as letters, watches, clothing, and tell their stories.

The tragedy of the Titanic has been captured in fiction, non-fiction, music, poetry, cartoons, official judicial inquiry, survivors' recollections, still photography, television shows, and film; all of the above are covered to some extent in this good and popular book. But few Titanic books match the paintings by Ken Marschall, a specialist on the subject whose work can be found in other books by the ship's discoverer, Robert Ballard, who wrote the introduction here. The photos are notable--including shots of the red-paint-stained iceberg that may have caused the sinking, the pristine ship, the sunken wreck, the people involved in the case--but Marschall's dozens of large-scale paintings really do help to dramatize and explicate moments no camera glimpsed and few eyewitnesses agree upon.
There is much to recommend the text, too. You could make a film just about Second Officer Charles Lightoller, who helped accelerate the lifeboat-launching process, saving lives; stepped off the ship's bridge into the Atlantic; was sucked down into a ventilator taking in water, vainly swimming against its suction; and then got expelled by a blast of air, like a human cannonball in a circus, and landed next to a lifeboat that had been knocked 20 feet clear of the sinking ship's deadly whirlpool by a huge ship's funnel that crashed into the waves nearby. Lightoller was marvellously clever in his courtroom interrogation by a lawyer determined to manoeuvre him into admitting blame for the disaster. There is much more history in-between the dramatic illustrations, facts both grand and trivial--if you're bent on knowing what actually happened to the dogs aboard, the answer is in this book. Definitely one of the better titles dealing with Titanic. --Tim Appelo

In 1815, Napoleon's armies fell to defeat at Waterloo, a clash that would change the course of world events. Far more Europeans died that year, though, as a result of a volcanic explosion in Indonesia--one cataclysmic eruption among the many that figure in this sidelong view of the Earth's history.
The explosion of Tambora in April 1815, geologists de Boer and Sanders write, sent a plume of volcanic ash high into the planet's atmosphere, bringing on a "nuclear winter" that devastated crops in the northern hemisphere, yielding famine and plague. Moreover, they add, the explosion cast a hazy pall over much of Europe, a gloom that inspired Mary Shelley to write her famed novel, Frankenstein. Another explosion, more than 3,000 years earlier, pulverized the Mediterranean island of Thera, giving rise to the legend of Atlantis and causing whole civilizations to collapse. Still another eruption on the island of Tristan da Cunha, in 1961, "brought [the 20th century] to this most isolated of the earth's inhabited places."
The authors' overview of nature's ability to thwart human intentions makes for fascinating reading, sure to appeal to fans of Perils of a Restless Planet, Surviving Galeras, and other chronicles of the trembling earth. --Gregory McNamee
