WWE.com Smackdown News
Changes to the GAB PPV Next Week
There are some changes to the upcomming Smackdown PPV, The Great American Bash. There will be two matches no happening at the PPV and instead, will happen next week on Friday Night Smackdown. The matches are Gregory Helms will be defending the Crusierweight Championship against Tajiri, and also Paul Burchill will be defending the TV Championship against The Sandman next week on Smackdown. Now dont worry about TGAB as Teddy Long pulled those two matches mentioned above and replace them with two more huge matches. First, it will be Rookie taking on Legend as Mr. Kennedy looks to make a name for himself against the man they call, Goldberg. The 2nd match should be up as a MOTY canadate as it is, MNM defending the WWE Tag Team Championship against The Hardy Boyz in a TLC Match.
Who Will Teddy Long Pick to face Hulk Hogan?
We been hearing rumors all week about who Teddy Long will pick to face Hulk Hogan. The rumors we heard that it will be Jake "The Snake" Roberts, Sabu, Jeff Jarrett, and we even heard that it might be Raw's John Cena. Whoever Teddy Long pick is, it is sure to surpise many.

Re: WWE 2006 by randyorton24 and Renegade
Some good news and GAB looks like it's got an absolutely loaded card, so it should be a cracker.
SmackDown looking good also, and your banner is pretty decent for someone new.

Re: WWE 2006 by randyorton24 and Renegade
I have a problem guys, yesterday my Sister had to be taken to the hostpital so I wont be able to post Smackdown like I thought today. Instead, it will be posted tomarrow. The good thing is that I only have the last part of Smackdown which is the main event of Jericho/Benoit to do. So it might be up later tonight but if not, then it will be up tomarrow.

Raw Review
HHH, McMahon Promo: a good segmant to kick off the show, Vince and HHH were in charachter and it was entertaining to say the least, it could have gone on a bit longer with a response from HHH after the promise from Vince though.
Tag Match:
A Good opening match, was a bit confusing in some places but the match overall was good, all the teams came off strong and im glad the NAO won the tag match...good opener
Bischoff/Foley Segmant: a good segmant with these two, i expected Brown to be a bit more vocal but it was a good segmant between foley and bischoff, i look forward to see the Additions to the war games match.
Masters Vs Haas:
Average match, Masters seemed a little weak and i expected more offence for both men, nice to see Haas getting a good reign with this belt and the match overall wasn't bad.
A Good cabana developing the bad blood between cena and austin, nice segmant between all 3 men and i think Carlito might slide into this fued somewhere.
Masters And Hall: a short segmant and i see Hall and Masters at the next ppv with maybe Haas in the mix aswell, a good quick segmant with this fued slowly progressing.
Rhino Vs Dupree
Short match, expected it to be a bit more Hardcore but you got it done in the end, Rhino seems like he is getting a good reign with the Hardcore belt and the match was good overall.
[b]GM Segmant:
Excellent segmant, this was total brilliance though you may have bought 2 big names in so quicky but it was at exactly the right moment, Foley and Bischoff came off excellent on the mic, the attacks were well placed and the run-in was excellent, best thing so far.
McMahon Vs HHH + Aftermath: Good match, obvious HHH Would retain but the shock value at the end was priceless, Jindrak the masked man only for HHH to get nailed with a SCM, i see HBK is in the coopration wich is another point for McMahon.
Overall: a solid show...some nice suprises and turns wich can only be good, solid show and expect some more reviews from me....8/10.

Re: WWE 2006 by randyorton24 and Renegade
I said Id review your last PPV so here is the very late Bad Blood review:
Bad Blood Review
Good to see the Womens Title showcased as it is not a part of the PPV. I didnt expect there to be a title change, but it will be good to see Gail Kim as champion.
World Tag Team Title Match
This match started off a little slowly but managed to pick up the pace and had a few nice spots. I liked Billy Gunns dive to the outside, it was a bit different to his usual offence. The ending was pretty good too and put the Corporation over as heels nicely. I expect there will be a rematch down the road, since the NAO should have a rematch clause, but I can see a similar ending to this match.
Rating: **½/5
Vince interview
Awesome! Great to see you will be introducing the War Games Match at SummerSlam, and its going to be under elimination rules too! Should be a classic and I hope Team Foley wins.
Rating: ***/5
Sting vs. Kane
I expected this match to be further up the card but I can understand why it is here, as it has a completely different dynamic to the previous match. The start of the match was good with Sting tricking Kane, and the match really kept to a good pace throughout. I thought the chokeslam through the table was way too early in the match and it mean that Sting looked a little unrealistic in his quick comeback, but apart from that, this contest was awesome. It reminded me of the old Hardcore Title matches where they would always battle through the crowd and into the backstage area, but this time it was even better! The kitchen brawl made me laugh, and this match had an awesome finish, and it was a nice way to end this feud.
Rating: ****½/5
Christian interview
Really strong segment here, you caught Christians character exceptionally well and also added some last minute hype to his match with The Rock. I can see Rock getting the win here after taking two defeats to Christian, but I hope Christian doesnt go down without a fight.
Rating: ****/5
RVD vs. Shelton Benjamin
Pretty good match that was never going to disappoint. I thought you did a great job of showing Sheltons abilities in terms of wrestling holds, and you showcased RVDs aerial skills nicely too, especially with the leg guillotine that took both guys down to the outside. I thought this match was possibly a little short for these two, but nonetheless a great read.
Rating: ***½/5
Corporation backstage
Vince seemed in character here and did a decent job of putting himself and his tactics for tonights main event over. The others seemed a little out of character, and I would have liked Test to have spoken.
Rating: **½/5
King of the Mountain
This is the match I was most looking forward to. It was another violent match and seemed like a spot fest, which I personally love but I can imagine some people would not have been keen to see. I never thought Haas would retain his IC Title in this one but Im happy that he did, and he should be used well after this to show what a fighting champ he can be. One thing I thought could have been done better was the penalty box situation, as I thought you should have maybe had 1 or 2 more pin falls.
Rating: ****/5
The Rock interview
Rock was his usual self which was good to see. You had a good balance of intensity and humour here, and its nice for The Rock to get a word in after hearing Christians interview earlier.
Rating: ****/5
Austin vs. Edge
I liked how Edge was used in this match and he would do anything to come away with the victory. The pre-match fight was great and very Austin-like in the way it was done, and this match seemed to have everything needed for these two guys. I thought the ending was slightly anti-climatic as Lita could have played a bigger part in the match and not just helping Edge right at the end.
Rating: ***½ /5
Cena rap
Good on you to make one of these up! Theyre damn hard to write. I am quite impressed with this too, it seemed quite like what Cena would include and had a nice finish.
Rating: ***/5
The Rock vs. Christian
Decent match here and it was good to see The Rock talking on the mic mid way through. Its something you dont see often and I think it helped this match somewhat. What I dont like is the amount of finishers used in matches, as they always seem to kick out of the first finisher.
Rating: ***/5
Lumberjacks head to the ring
It seems that theres loads of lumberjacks for this one, and I can see Cena retaining his title here with help from a lumberjack my pick is Test screwing Triple H.
WWE Title Match
Wow, this was the most exciting match of the evening by far. There was so much surrounding it and it was action packed throughout. I thought Austin played a great role here and I can see him facing Cena in a match somewhere down the road. And best of all, D-X are back the full D-X and the one I liked the best with X-Pac, Road Dogg and Billy Gunn! Great way to end the show and a title change too!
Rating: ****½/5
Well, it took me a while to get round to it after losing track of this BTB a few months back, but this was an awesome PPV and I really enjoyed reading it. I look forward to seeing where D-X go, and who Triple Hs first title defence will be against. My guess is Edge.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown
We open the show with Teddy Long in his office.
Teddy Long:
Hulk Hogan, Hogan, I found the perfect guy to kick your ass at GAB. But since you are going to be here tonight, you can meet the guy face to face in the ring later on tonight. Now, to all the Smackdown Players out there, we have a great show for you. In a Crusierweight Tag Team Match, Gregory Helms and Jamie Noble will face Tajiri and Ultimo Dragon. The Main Event will be up for Match Of The Year probably as it will be Chris Benoit taking on Chris Jericho and the winner will face Kurt Angle for the World Heavyweight Championship at The Great American Bash. Also, Kurt Angle will be the guest Ref for the match. Now Players, let me hear you Holla Holla Holla!!!!
The Smackdown Video hits as the fireworks go off and the fans are on there feet screaming to the top of there lungs.
Welcome to Friday Night Smackdown and we are live tonight from the Big Easy, New Orleans, LA. Tonight we have a high packed show for you all.
That's right, we will learn who will face Kurt Angle for the World Championship at Great American Bash when Chris Benoit faces off against Chris Jericho. Not only that, but Brock Lesner and Batista will have a contract signing for there match at GAB. But we kick thing off with Crusierweight Tag Team Action.
Jamie Noble/Gregory Helms vs Tajiri/Ultimo Dragon
A very quick crusierweight tag team match as it is mainly Noble and Tajiri in the ring with Tajiri trying to get a hold of Gregory Helms but Helms will not tag himself in. Jamie Noble set up Tajiri for a Tiger Bomb but Tajiri rolls through with a roll up but Helms finally comes in the ring to break the pin. Tajiri gets mad and goes after Helms and does a hard stiff kick to Helms who was getting out of the ring. Tajiri turns around and Jamie Noble connects with a tiger bomb. Jamie tags in Helms as Helms comes in and sees Tajiri getting on his knees. Gregory Helms does the shinning wizard and makes the cover and hooks the tights for the 3 count.
Winners, Jamie Noble and Gregory Helms
That damn Gregory Helms, he used the shinning wizard which knocked out Tajiri but he also hooked the tights just to rub it in.
Yeah, but look what is coming up next. Booker T will be out here and we heard that he will be calling out The Undertaker. Its Next!!!!
Can You Dig It, Sucka hits and Booker T walks out looking kinda scared. He dont even do his fireworks as he walks down the ramp. He gets in the ring and grabs a mic.
Booker T:
As you all know, I lost when I faced The Undertaker but I wont do that anymore. You see, The Undertaker is nothing more than a freak and that is why, in two weeks at The Great American Bash, I will kick the freak's ass in a casket match. Then after all of you fans cheer my name and after I do my Spinoroonie, then I will have one, and only one goal in mind and that is to become, the six time, yes, six time World Champion. That's right, I will become a World Champion, once again because I will end the one man who everybody thinks is the best ever, and that is The Undertaker. Taker, why wait untill GAB, huh? I say, Taker, bring your dead ass out here so I can kick it.
Booker T waits for a few seconds before the lights go out but The Undertaker dont come out. Instead we hear his voice.
Booker T, you think you can beat me? Booker, you are just one of the names on a very very long list that tryed to end the Deadman's carrer and guess what, every single one of them felled. Booker T, at Great American Bash, I will face you in a Casket Match, but what you say wont happen. Booker T, at Great American Bash, you will Rest In Peace!!!!
As soon as Undertaker finished saying Peace, the ring caught fire just like you would see in a Inferno Match. Booker T is in the ring scared.
Wow, some mind games from The Undertaker who in two weeks, will face that man in a casket Match. But we just got word from the Smackdown General Manager, Teddy Long and he just informed us some changes to the upcomming PPV. As of now, the Crusierweight Championship Match between Gregory Helms and Tajiri will not take place at the ppv and instead will happen next week right here on Smackdown. But dont worry though because, Tazz, tell them what will replace the Crusierweight Title Match.
Well fans, are you ready for a rocketbuster? Because Teddy Long just made this match, for the WWE Tag Team Championship, MNM will defend against The Hardy Boyz in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs Match at the PPV next week. Coming up next, Randy Orton will take on Bobby Lashley. Here is what happen last week between the two.
We see footage of last week when Bobby Lashley saved Jillian Hall from Randy Orton.
We are back and "The Real Deal" hits and Bobby Lashley makes his way out on the ramp. He gets ready to raise his hands for the pyro but Randy Orton hits him from behind with a chair and Bobby falls to the ramp. Randy Orton steps back and kicks Lashley in the midsection and Bobby rolls down the ramp. Bobby Lashley slowly pulls himself by using the apron but Randy Orton cracks him in the head with the chair. Randy Orton hits the back of Lashley three more times with that chair. He slides Bobby Lashley in the ring and he makes the ref call for the bell to start the match.
Randy Orton vs Bobby Lashley
Finish- Randy Orton pulls Bobby Lashley up and connects with a RKO. Randy Orton covers but the ref dont really wants to count untill Randy Orton starts screaming at him and the ref counts the three.
Winner, Randy Orton
Tazz, did you see what Randy Orton just did? He attacked a young Bobby Lashley on his way out here and then even still went thought with the match even though Lashley had no chance of winning. That is uncall for.
Backstage we see The Sandman holding his Kendo Stick.
Paul Burchill, I have some news for you. You see, Pauley, it was going to be you and me at GAB for the TV Title but guess what, I am not waiting untill The Great American Bash, no, I wont, Paul Burchill, I get my TV Championship Match next week on Friday Night Smackdown and the match will be a Kendo Stick Match.
Sandman opens up a can of beer and smashes his hand with it and stares at the camera.
Backstage Josh Matthews is standing by with Chris Benoit.
Josh Matthews:
Chris Benoit, later tonight you will face, Y2J, Chris Jericho and the winner will be the number 1 contender for the World Heavyweight Championship, and Kurt Angle will be the ref, your thoughts?
Chris Benoit:
Well, Josh, I dont know what have got into Teddy Long's head. He damn sure knows that Kurt Angle will not call this match right down the middle. Hell, I know it, Jericho knows it, you know it Josh, even Santa Clause knows it. With that being said, I will do my best to try to win this match and if I win, Angle, I will become the World's Champ. Everyone, Prove Me Wrong!!!!!
We are back in the arena and there is a table set up with two chairs on each side of it. There is a clipboard with papers in the center of the table. Nick Pattrick haves a mic.
Nick Pattrick:
The following is the contract signing for Lesnar/Batista 1 next Sunday at The Great American Bash. I, Refree, Nick Patrick, will ref the match against these two men. First please welcome, "The Next Big Thing" Brock Lesnar.
Here Comes The Pain hits and Brock Lesnar comes out to a mix reaction. He jumps on the ring apron and enters the ring. He picks up a mic on the table.
Brock Lesnar:
You are right about one thing, Nick. The match will be against two big men and only one Animal can come out of the ring the winner. Nick, you are also wrong about one thing. I am not "The Next Big Thing", I am "The Big Thing" and Batista, you are just like the other "Big" men that tried to beat me but can't, they all fail and Batista, that is what will happen to you at GAB, you will FAIL!!!!
Brock Lesner sits the mic down and he sits down in the chair.
Nick Pattrick:
Well, please welcome the man that Brock Lesnar will face at The Great American Bash, The Animal Batista.
Batista comes out to a huge ovation. He walks down the ramp and enters the ring. He dont even pick up the mic as he picks up the pen and signs his name on the line. He then throws the clipboard at Lesnar. Brock Lesnar stands up clearly mad that Batista threw the clipboard. Brock Lesnar picks up the pen and signs his name to the contract. Brock Lesnar and Batista stares into each other eyes neither man making a move. Brock Lesnar starts to back off but Brock Lesnar jumps over the table but Batista catches him and slams him down to the mat. Batista picks him up and sets him up for the Batista Bomb but Brock Lesner quickly drop to his knees and rolls out of the ring. Brock Lesnar leaves up the ramp as Batista just stares on at him.
Backstage Josh Matthews is with Chris Jericho.
Josh Matthews:
Chris Jericho, later tonight you will be in a match with Chris Ben.....
Chris Jericho:
Listin up, Jackass. Dont you think I know who I am facing tonight? I mean, everywhere I go I hear about it. I heard it at the airport. I heard it in the radio on the ride in my long limo to the arena. Then, Jr. once I got to the arena, I heard it from the gaurds and the fans. Man, I think I know who I am facing. The real question is, does Chris Benoit know who he is facing. I dont think he does because he is facing the first EVVVVVVVVER Undisputed Champion. He facing the only man to ever beat The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin in the very same night at Vengeance 2001. He is facing the man who sold millions and millions of records with Fozzy. He is facing Y2J, Chris Jericho, The King of the World and after tonight, next week, I will be The Champion of the World.
Chris Jericho walks off with a huge smile on his face.
Jimmy Hart's music hits and The Mouth of the South, Jimmy Hart comes out to a good pop. He gets in the ring and grabs a mic.
Jimmy Hart:
Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome, Hulk Hogan.
Real American hits and Hulk Hogan comes out to a standing ovation. He walks down the ramp and enters the ring and does his taunts.
Hulk Hogan:
Let me tell you something, Brothers. I am sick and tired of this GM, Teddy. So Teddy, get your ass out here, Brother.
We wait a few secs and Holla Holla hits and Teddy Long comes out to brand new music. It is the same song just a little slower. He stop on the ramp and stares at Hulk Hogan.
Teddy Long:
Player, Player, Player, you are nothing but a old wash up peice of crap. I should of fired your ass a long time ago. Hulk Hogan, you were never a Icon, a Legend, in my book. You were just a midcarder and that is where you will be at The Great American Bash. Better yet, you wont be a midcarder, you will be the curtian jerker because at The Great American Bash, our match is going on first so you will know what it feels like to lose the very first match since you know, player, you never felt that before. Now, you might be wondering who you will face at GAB? Well see, when I fired you around Judgment Day, I also fired someone else. You see Hollywood, I fired a former NWO member when I fired your old ass. In matter of fact, let me introduce you to him.
Teddy Long point behind Hogan and Hulk turns around and Kevin Nash is in the ring and cracks a chair off the head of Hogan. Hogan is busted open as Nash picks him up and does a botch Jackiefe Powerbomb. Teddy Long enters the ring and raise the hand of Kevin Nash.
Teddy Long:
Hulk Hogan, you know the deal, if you win, then I will leave Smackdown forever and you can go back to wrestling two times a year. But when I win, you never step foot in a WWE ring again. As for Big Kev over here, well, say hello to your new Smackdown Superstar. Oh, hey Player, before I leave, Hulk Hogan, you will be in a match next week on Friday Night Smackdown. It will be you and Brock Lesnar taking on Batista and Kevin Nash. I would tell you to Holla Holla Holla, but I dont think you can hear me.
Teddy Long smiles and does the Hulk Hogan taunts as him and Big Kev leaves the ring.
Backstage Josh Matthews this time is with, the ref for tonight's main event and the World Heavyweight Champion, Kurt Angle.
Kurt Angle:
You know what, Josh, just go away.
Josh looks at Kurt and Kurt act like he was going to hit him and Josh runs away.
Kurt Angle:
I know that he was going to ask if I was going to call the match right down the middle and as a fellow american and gold medlist. I will do my best and I will call the action right down the line. It's True, It's Damn True.
Kurt Angle leaves as we go back into the arena.
Jeff Hardy vs Johnny Nitro
A real quick match that Johnny Nitro wins after Joey Mercury trips Hardy on the top rope while Matt had the ref. Johnny Nitro then nails a hard brainbuster suplex from the top rope for the three.
Winner, Johnny Nitro
After the match, MNM runs off with the titles as Jeff and Matt looks on.
We are back on Smackdown and The World's Champion, Kurt Angle in a ref shirt is already in the ring holding up his title. Break The Walls Down hits and Y2J, Chris Jericho comes out. He spins around in the stage before walking down the ramp and entering the ring. Whatever hits and Chris Benoit comes out. He stares down the ramp and he takes off running down it and slides in the ring.
Winner faces Kurt Angle for the World Championship at The Great American Bash
Ref- Kurt Angle
Chris Benoit vs Chris Jericho
A very good back and forth match and Kurt Angle called it down the middle. Chris Jericho trips Chris Benoit up and locks in the Walls of Jericho. Chris Benoit is screaming with Kurt asking if he gives up. Chris makes it to the ropes and Jericho thought he won but Angle told him no. Chris Jericho is mad as he shoves Kurt Angle on his ass. Chris Jericho turns around and Chris Benoit takes him down and locks in the Crossface. Kurt Angle is standing up and he looks down and he kicks Chris Benoit in the head. Kurt Angle picks Chris Benoit up and does a hard Angle Slam. Kurt Angle also picks Chris Jericho up and nails a Angle Slam. Kurt Angle goes outside the ring and grab his World Title belt. He pulls Benoit up and crack him in the head. Kurt Angle have snap. He also nails Chris Jericho in the head with the belt.
No Contest
Kurt Angle holds up the World Championship but Holla Holla hits again and Teddy Long comes out.
Teddy Long:
Hey, Angle, I like you as my World Champion, but player, you just cost me of watching a great match between Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit, and player, I dont like that. Kurt Angle, you wanna know who you will face at Great American Bash? Well, I just thought of a great match and it is something that never been in WWE History before. Kurt Angle you will be defending the World Heavyweight Championship against both, Chris Benoit and Chris Jericho at The Great American Bash. Also the match will be something special. Kurt, we are going to get a great match at The Bash because the only way you can win the Triple Threat Match is by winning two falls. That's right, the first person to win two falls either by Pin or Submission will be the World's Champion.
Kurt Angle looks pissed off as Teddy Long leaves and Smackdown goes off the air.

"The Canyons" opened Friday after a year of tabloid buzz about the flick , starring a recently rehabbed Lindsay Lohan and adult film star James Deen.
As if that bit of casting didn't raise eyebrows high enough, there are also some rather flesh-baring love scenes, including a foursome. So, did Lohan have any reservations about appearing topless in the film?
Screenwriter Bret Easton Ellis explained to MTV News, "Well look everyone has a contract where they specify what they are comfortable with and what they are not comfortable with. So her contract was gone through quite carefully. Signing on for that role she completely knew that that was going to be part of it, and I think the first discussion with Lindsay was about the nudity and the film's sexuality and she had no problem with it. She said 'Let's do it. And then of course I guess she got cold feet at the foursome scene. But what can I say? She was a trouper."
What Did Scare Lindsay Lohan On The Set Of 'The Canyons'?
Parts of the film revolve around Lohan's Tara, a less than wealthy Hollywood social climber, and Deen's Christian, an independently wealthy Hollywood wannabe producer, who are dating but also welcome visitors to their bedroom. Those exploits are filmed by Christian on his cell phone. The dynamics of that type of relationship interested Ellis.
"I was thinking a lot about transparency," he explained. "James has this speech in the beginning of the film about transparency and this surface propriety that's eroding and [how] people should just be honest with each other, up front with each other. [I was] just thinking about how technology doesn't let us lie anymore. The transparency and the limits of secrets right now in our society [is a big part of the movie]."
Kanye West Puts Dramatic Twist On 'The Canyons' Trailer: Watch!
The film not only explores their power dynamic, but also the struggle of up-and-coming actor, Ryan, who is cast in Christian's horror film thanks to Tara. Did we mention that Tara and Ryan also used to date? The relationships in the movie are sordid, to say the least.
He explained, "Everything I've written I've have to had felt or experienced to some degree. Now that doesn't mean I'm killing someone … 'The Canyons' started out as a genre movie. I'm pulling a lot of stuff that's going on in my life and I've known a lot of actors like the character Nolan Funk plays, the Ryan character. And that is a dark story. I wanted to write about that some more. I also wanted to write about the idea of being in a relationship with somebody who has nothing with someone who has money. How does it change the dynamic of the relationship?"
He continued, "For some reason, that power dynamic was interesting to me. The dark side of Hollywood [now] is really about you. Will you allow yourself to go into this thing after you've been warned a million times? What does happen is, yes, it's bad, and then you realize it's a little bit worse."

Robots Put To Work On E-Waste 39
from the robots-disassembling-robots dept.
The genes they identified were all proteins.
I'm not that much of an expert on microarrays, but I'm pretty sure most or all of the arrays they used predate the Encode project's results that made people re-evaluate the question of how much of the genome is really important. Here is a list of the arrays they used:
Illumina: HumanHap550, 318K, 350K, 610K, 660W Quad, HumanOmniExpressExome-8 v1.0, Human610 Quadv1, 370, 317, HumanOmniExpress-12v1 A
Affymetrix: GeneChip 6.0, 250K
This study was the keystone project of a consortium founded in early 2011. I think, given the size, it simply took this long to get the results. That, too, was a time before Encode publications had really started impacting the world. Whatever RNA genes they would have had at the time would be pathetic and paltry by comparison to what we consider worth studying now.
That's really more of a federal government thing than an Ontario one.
Ontario would just require subtitles.
It's okay, though; as a Torontonian, I forgive you for not being able to make the distinction. It is the centre of the universe, after all.
More fun statistics, from Wikipedia:
...I was going somewhere with the Evangelicals stat, since they're generally the most fervent, but then I realised that there are plenty of insufferably stolid palaeoconservative Anglicans in the UK and it wasn't really a point worth making.
It really comes down to the fundamental collectivist-vs-individualist difference between the Canadian and American cultures, I think; despite Stephen Harper's best efforts to destroy the country, our charter of rights and freedoms was still a missive about how we were free from harassment by peers (thus sending the message "we are all siblings"), as contrasted with the American declaration of independence's emphasis on being free from harassment by authority (thus sending the message "you are free to do as you please"). Interestingly, a hundred years ago you would not really find this; Canada was just as much of a racist hellhole as the US at the time, although as there were practically no black people we could only complain about other European ethnicities. It was only as our population and economy fell behind, and we started accepting in huge numbers of immigrants following World War II, that this really started to take shape.
I'm sure the relatively weak levels of religious conviction help too (only 25% of Christians attend church regularly in Canada; above the rates of Northern Europe but far below the rate in the US) and that is doubtlessly a function of what flavour (can we call them 'distros' yet?) of Christianity is in question, too, since many Anglican ministers now preach actual biblical scholarship (my favourite quote, heavily paraphrased, is "Hell (as a threat) was invented in the Middle Ages") rather than what most think of as the typical naive system of "swallow-and-enjoy-your-life-textbook-with-no-critical-thinking" morality. Whatever the exact impact of each component is, it doesn't really jive with the idea of excluding us poor little minority atheists.
...except maybe in profoundly Catholic areas. I bet they care more in Newfoundland and Quebec. British Columbia is barely half Christian (54.9%) so you can bet they sure don't.
How many Unix hacks does it take to change a light bulb? Let's see, can you use a shell script for that or does it need a C program?

With just a week to go until the transfer window slams shut, you can't go online or open the papers without hearing scurrilous rumours. In our rolling blog, Steve Bartram tracks all the United transfer tittle-tattle...
Running total: 104 in (estimated £1.857billion), 24 out (estimated £174.5million, including loans and swaps)
Friday 27 August
16:19 We've established that Rafael van der Vaart does not want to leave Real Madrid. Still, a host of clubs are reportedly chasing the Dutchman - with United repeatedly linked - and Caughtoffside.com says Arsenal are ready to test the water with an £8million bid.
13:59 So, with these rumours persisting about Tom Cleverley joining Bolton, Wigan or another top flight side, Trotters boss Owen Coyle addressed the talk in full and frank fashion: "I am loath to speak about other teams' players, I always am, but Tom Cleverley is a terrific player," said the Scot. "He is a very talented young player. We made an enquiry before Manchester United went to America regarding Tom coming on loan, and Sir Alex said at that time that he would think about it. They came back from America, the lad had been terrific on the tour and they decided they would hold onto him, which I totally understand. If that changes between now and Tuesday, that is a different situation. As it is, I've not heard that to be the case, but if it changes then I will let you know."
12:01 Although David Gill seemingly ended United's transfer business for the summer with yesterday's quotes, it's also worth mentioning that the Reds' chief executive did add, in a later interview: "If there's a player who Sir Alex Ferguson thinks would change things we would go with it." The Gossip is back on track!
11:32 Sorry for the slow start to the day peeps, I've been covering the manager's press conference at Carrington. First rumour of the day is one that I slightly sneered at on Wednesday evening: Tom Cleverley going out on loan. Widespread reports claim the midfielder will indeed be sent out for the season to gain Premier League experience, with Bolton and Wigan the teams jostling hardest for his capture.
Thursday 26 August
18:51 That's official then... David Gill has just told Sky Sports News there will be no more business at Old Trafford before the transfer window closes on Tuesday. The channel's moustachioed reporter Nick Collins asked him if there'd be any more deals done at United in the next few days and he replied, "No. There won't be. We're very happy with the squad. Sir Alex has gone on record in that respect. We have acquired three new players and we're looking forward to a great, great season." (Adam

Vivid Named Studio of the Year- XCritic Consumer Reviews
Ridden' hard! Put away wet. Yee haw, she likes it raw! Stefani is a thrill-seeking cocktail waitress in a country bar called Rawhide. She pushes the limits at work-at play-and pushes her boss to the brink of insanity with her unabashed sexuality! Well, when new comer Cleo Alexis enters the picture and an interracial anal scene ensues, the Rawhide is shaken, not stirred. As this Charley puts his pride right where it counts! So belly up to the bar and order a tall one, with any luck, it'll be a girl named Stefani.
Not all dancing is vertical... She'll suck your disco balls!!! They may not be able to walk and chew gum at the same time, but they can dance and fuck like nobody's business!!! They're the stars of Dance Party, Chuck Lord's real life look into the world of exotic dancers... a peak behind the curtain at the sexual superstars of stage and cream!!!

So close yet so far away. For everyone who's ever waited for an epiphany in the form of a woman. Vivid presents Be With Me, starring the vision of sexuality, Savanna.

Sink or Swim (Cucco and Fairess)
He was lying in the gutter. Curled up against the walkway like a child to its mother, screaming softly into the dark opening where his face lay. Echoing below the streets, it was lost above by the heavy storm that pounded rain with the thumping carriages across the pavement.
A piece of paper. A scrap of lace. An empty can of apples. A dead rat. Things were starting to collect in his long coat like an apron. He felt his fingers wave around against the rough current but not his feet. They did not exist. Useless. All he could feel was the pounding water and the tremor of the thunder.
He gasped and water got up his nose. He coughed. "His leg's on the walkway!" Laughter. "Drunks." Devmond's eyes jerked and he could see three pairs of shoes, two ladies with high heels and a flat sensible shoe mince chopsticks with tall tree legs. There were more, many more but farther away and swimming. He closed his eyes. Another roll of thunder and he shuddered deeper into the water. Caught between so many fears, he new he should hide but now he wanted to sleep and to forget.
"How are you today?" Duratan pulled out a glass of dark cherry and elderberry brandy and pushed it out across the desk. "You look unwell."
"Father, please." Devmond breathed in sharply to calm himself. "You called me at this hour with my favorite drink. Even the messenger knew."
"The council elders are unhappy with you."
"That would be exactly where I left them."
His father gripped the sides of the oak wood edges and pushed out. He leaned back and gazed above the tight black line of his lips. "You don't even know what you look like, do you? You're a mess. The rumors, they're horrifying."
Isn't there always rumors for the wealthy? Devmond knew about them, of course. He had even spread a few fake ones for fun. They all became unreal down the line eventually. He smiled leisurely. And here I was worried that he had something new to tell me.
"Do not smirk at me like that. No, these are different-"
Am I really that easy? Only for father.
"The council heard about what you've been doing on the surface. Casual relationships with humans. Casual sex. I tried denying it but they had witnesses from the Hunters of Gilene and even from the lower courts in Council of the King who could swear in blood that they had been in your company when you purchased the whores."
Devmond sighed. "Those stupid little pricks, do they think they can gain favor through backstabbing. No one gets very far politically with that kind of poor seen-through tactic." His father claws had ripped into the edge of one corner and the whole piece had fallen to the carpet. Devmond said softly, "Listen, I never purchased anything. The rumors were exaggerated and-"
"You do not understand," his father fangs were bare. "Nothing you or I can say now could ever possibly change their decision."
Decision. The blood in Devmond's arms and legs suddenly felt sharp. The council never directly gave orders to individuals unless their life was on the line. Everything made sense now. His step-mother always taking away his daughter on day trips. The servants were avoiding looking him in the eye. His 'friends' always busy. Everyone had been too busy.
All he could say was, "What do they want?"
"The sacred right of protecting our holy race and our pure women is the only way to prove to them your worth to our city-"
"No." Devmond's chair was flat on the floor. He was scrambling to the door. It seemed so far.
"-Our God."
I won't No. Please, don't say it. Why the hell is the door not coming closer? It's too soon. Please.
"To spare the holy race from losing another woman in childbirth-"
You knew what would happen. You watched. It took hours. She hated you till the end. I can't watch. Not again.
The door was shut behind him and he was at the bottom of it sobbing. He had not been able to escape those last words.
"They want you to perform another human harvest."
Re: Sink or Swim (Cucco and Fairess)
"And so we part from fair waters to let you seek what you are destined to find. May Videre's blessing be always upon you and the path ahead kind." Words, the last comfort of the evening, were spoken sadly upon a barren shore. The group of sisters had enjoyed the voyage, seeing roughness in the sea only as beauty in their father. What was more lovely, more graceful in power than the flashing rise of a wave in the midst of a storm? None among them felt sick in the exhilarating rise and fall of a turbulent sea, for no boats among men had a keener prow nor hull sturdier than a seiren's ship.
Erato was the sole creature to depart from the small collection of cloaked women before her. Their slender figures loomed darkly in the downpour of rain, only their eyes reflecting light as waves crackle with the lingering threads of lighting. Yet their lips were soft, as were the curves of their faces when the long hoods would blow back just long enough for the moon to strike their cheeks. Circumstances made it impossible to speak gently in their final farewell, but Erato felt it meet that her goodbyes should be doused with shadow and thunder. She did not want to remember these faces, the worries and wonders unspoken in their eyes as they watched her walk into the unknown.
"May the goddesses watch upon us all and make not your wait in vain." Erato shuddered then, not quite able to promise anything, and turned away. How long they stood there watching she did not know, but eventually she heard the splash of oars and knew they had begun their small trip back to the main ship. All that would remain of their exchange was the Seer's Stone, a small boulder among a crag of rocks that had an unmistakable eye carved into it. Only a seiren would understand its meaning, the mark of departure and return of the seiren. Within her purse, Erato had been given an enchanted green pearl that would aid in locating any such stone across the many shores of the unfamiliar land. She could even feel its warmth in her hand as she reached within her bag for reassurance.
Warmth now and ice to come; lands beyond our own feel the bite of seasons we have never known. Many more verses would pass through her mind as she wandered through the long grass, not bothering to remove her map when there was too much darkness to see properly. Though the journey had been safe enough, the storm had delayed the time of arrival until night had come upon her escorting crew, and they were too wary to stay near the shore for any extended amount of time. So she made her way to the most promising landmark, a lighthouse not too far into the distance to be unwelcoming. Humans were there... she could already feel the old sense of fear tingling in the scales just above her left eye.
A great deal of mud clung to the seiren's skin by the time she made it to the first houses of the town, each with warm lights flickering from the windows. She did not look long at any of them, holding her cloak tightly about her as it grew only heavier in the water and mud. Constant and odd pricks started in her scales and she had to reach her hand up to rub and soothe them, knowing well that all sorts of danger was near and that she had to brave it.
Had she been paying attention, Erato might have noticed when the roads went from cobbled stone to wooden boardwalk and back again. If she had looked up to the water washed walls of plaster and ivy she might have seen art, but she was too busy staring at the clacking hooves of horses and the large wheels as carriages and wagons passed down the street. All were too busy dashing out of the rain to give mind to her flowing cloak or the flashing white in her blond hair that frequently slipped from her hood. She returned the attentive gesture, seeing only shadows of faces and the flash of black as clothed bodies moved past her.
Then she saw a veritable lump in the road only because she nearly ran into it. Soaked shoes mushed to a stop and bright eyes stared down, down at what could only be an oily fish out of water... or half out of water. It was making the strangest kind of noises and the seiren almost reached out to touch it when she realized that it was a man. A man in a coat. Immediately, Erato's eyes widened and she flinched back as if he had struck her, dashing away like a minnow from a shark.
The seiren was not used to such crowds, disoriented by the dark shadows and the prickle in her scales, and thus made quite a bit of noise as she collided again and again in her clumsy rush. Grunts and annoyed quips followed her deaf ears, but she did not stop moving until the scent of hot fish caught her nose. Her refined pallet could already tell that it had been cooked too long and that the tarragon used was far too strong, but it called to her stomach and reminded her that rest would likely be found near the dish's location. There she might pull out a map, have a bit of heat to steal away inside herself until the rain stopped...
It wasn't particularly easy to find the source of food in the midst of so many other scents (human sweat among them), but it was hot and fresh and nearby. The seiren soon found herself slipping into a warm and crowded building, but it was decidedly more friendly. Coats, once black, gained color in the light of a fireplace and its candle companions, and the strange faces of men and women alike were almost comical. Big chins, small lips, narrow eyes, dark hair—it was everything she had been told, but there was an odd chaos to them,as though she had wandered into a cage of chattering monkeys.
"Hold the mead! I'm with my wife tonight, Ben."
"Madness! Madness, I say!"
"Harold! Did I not just say—"
"You going to stand there all night?"
Erato nearly jumped out of her skin as a voice cut in just behind her ear, and she fluidly swept herself away from the doorway and into the nearest corner. The gruff exclamations and squeaky laughter continued in another series of scattered conversation, and the serien found herself astounded that she understood it. Yes, she had studied many hours in books learning the Common tongue, but she had never been so immersed in it, never truly connected the sounds to the faces. This was their common life and she was stranding right in the midst of them, unknown.
Luckily for Erato, the corner she had taken was unoccupied, likely due to its distance to the fireplace and closeness to the damp window panes. With careful glances, she looked about herself from the safety of her soaking hood, not at all bothered by the dampness. The air was decidedly warmer here, and she was content with that. Reaching into her bag, she found her desired provisions, which had been set aside for just such a time. Wise as her people were, they did not have much food that could be preserved for more than a few days, and she wasn't sure she could have waited. After all, the journey had been long and all those about her were already eating.
Erato didn't bother to find a fork, unwrapping sumptuous balls of leaves to reveal spiced rice beneath. Bitter vinegar and lemon, the salty scent of hardy nori, then the creamy pink crab meat—she could smell it all even before she brought the sushi to her lips. She took a meager bite, glancing around again before becoming comfortable enough to settle down in her chair. Only one of the prepared pieces was required before she felt her stomach settle, but rather than removing a map and making immediate plans to leave, she found her hands aching for her lyre.
So it was that the seiren briefly wiped her hands on a spare handkerchief (no decent seiren would ever be caught eating a meal without some manner of napkin, even among those sloppy humans), reaching beneath her cloak to take the strapped instrument from her back. Lovingly, her hands caressed its smooth edges, fingers brushing gently across the strings. White mixed with almost every manner of color glimmered in the dull light of her corner, beauty unseen by the crowds engaged in their chatter. None turned to look, the sound of a melody gentle enough to be played by a lazy breeze lost almost as soon as it left its wooden home. Half-hidden under her arm and behind the edge of the table, her fingers worked out their trembles and bright eyes stared under the shadow of a foreign cloak. Calm, she needed calm again before deciding where to go next.
Re: Sink or Swim (Cucco and Fairess)
"Surely you know it," the old man's breath was mixed with peppermint and with barley. With his back to the light, he seemed one whole shadow that covered Erato as he leaned over her. "There is in the sea-"
The sandy haired barber was a regular at the pub for years and could spot even a casual goer even with inebriated eyes that were half-closed and bleary. That was something to be proud of. This fellow in the corner was strange, he walked funny and kept looking around every so often. He had motioned to his son and they both took turns keeping their watch on him. This town was ripe with unfriendly travelers, it was too close to the Tyrian mountains where the monstrous spider people dwelt. No one here ever took a stranger in, no matter how destitute their condition. However, the old man saw something that peaked greater interest. A beautiful harp was taken out of the mysterious stranger's cloak and the barber watched him play quietly in the corner.
He motioned to his son and stood quickly. Carefully, slowly, he made his way to the stranger and smiled carefully.
"Could you play, "The Mermaid" for us, sir? It's a popular song. Surely you know it. It goes likes this…"
Devmond wiped the bile from his mouth with a soaked sleeve, his other hand holding his shaking weight to the cemented street lamp. He heard laughter somewhere past the reach of the dull light and felt his stomach want to twist itself away. Ducking under the black hood, he pushed away with weak momentum. The rain had chased most of them away, but not enough of those humans. Every wet surface reflected something of their movement even as he kept his eyes downcast. Every so often he would catch the sight of the hem of a woman's skirt or the splash of a running carriage.
He gave a sharp laugh and a pair of feet leapt like a rabbit and scurried away behind him. His drenched clothes stuck to him in patches that slid up and down against his movement. The vomit was mostly on his shoes but some was still stuck on the front of his shirt in drippy clumps. His hair had fallen from the bind and seemed to reach towards the center of his face with strands in his eyes, his nose, his mouth. Blood was dripping down the left edge of his face from a bulge on his forehead from where his forehead had struck the pavement above the gutter.
That feeling past fear, anger, depression or even hatred that always follows after their terrible surge, apathy had hold of him. He now could see it as delirium, an unconquerable but amoral drive. He was laughing again. The rain had stopped. The sky was not closing down around him. Devmond could finally stand without fearing that his own steps would be drowned in water and sound.
The smell of cooked food had been the cause of his the acid dance happening in his stomach and it was getting stronger as he continued down the road. A new specific flavor almost caused him to bend over again: the smell of burnt and cheap fish. He lurched forward as fast as he could to escape it but was distracted again. It was the sound of music.
It stopped him with its familiarity but somehow his mind could not grasp hold of it. He put his sleeve across his mouth and stepped into the bright light of the tavern's open door. Closing his eyes, he ignored everything and desperately clung to its melody. Ah! Devmond grinned and carelessly dropped his arm only to cling it back more firmly with a new wave of awful scent from what seemed to be a trove of sweaty, dancing men. He recognized the tune was a familiar human peasant song, "The Mermaid" adapted from an obviously Pallentian masterpiece. The stupid creatures were drunk and idiotic, throwing themselves around like ragdolls while stretching their untrained voices in a chaotic thrall together. Some were standing on the chairs and beating their bodies while another was slowly kicking off their boots while lying on the bar.
Then he noticed, at the center of the crows, someone was being held aloft on the shoulders of two men. Grinning, Devmond pushed a couple kissing in the doorway aside and moved in closer. The crown jewel atop the old man's arms was a young woman. She had turned her face toward him but her expression was lost on him. The face was soft with a lack of experience or what others would call innocence. No, she did not want to be there. Anywhere near this place. He laughed again but felt his face grow hot. The frame of his body was shaking again, sensitive to each noise and sound around him that bombarded just like the angry thunder. They needed to stop laughing, stop singing. Now. Feeling suddenly inspired by his muse. Apathy, he shouted, "Don't you dare make another sound!"
Re: Sink or Swim (Cucco and Fairess)
Never look at a man directly if you do not wish to engage him. A single glance can be enough reason for one to approach you for good or ill And she hadn't looked, but there he had been and here she was now. Her screams were no longer silent, but she had never before uttered a sound of terror and it was distorted by the softness with which it was uttered. A desperate cry, low and all too childish was what came from her lips and she wished herself anywhere else but in the hands of two very forward men.
She had finally broken into threats as she was bounced about, not feeling in the least a thread of merriment in their music. Erato had threatened them with Oceanus's name, cried out for help, but all of her plights were merely laughed off. In all her trembling, she finally managed to twist her ankles away from one of the men, thunking to the floor just as a dark figure made itself known to all the people there. Would his cry, too, be ignored?
It was not likely, she realized. This one was tall, utterly covered in filth, and she realized with more dismay that this was the very creature she had mistaken the fish. Looking at him now, it was an insult to those scaled specimens, for he was... well, he was... she didn't truly have a word for it. Oily? A dark cloud of all the worst stenches she could ever imagine? Those flawless golden eyes of his... even those were sleeked over by his hair and an ugly contortion of disgust.
Quickly, Erato snatched the rest of her away from the male, too afraid to give him the reprive he deserved. Her scales felt as though they were about to alight in synaptic flames and the pinching was almost unbearable. Here was trouble, here was danger. She had to collect her harp and get out immediately before either party of males weren't distracted enough for her to slip out unnoticed.
Re: Sink or Swim (Cucco and Fairess)
What are you screaming about, wanker?
A bawdy looking woman, showing her one shoulder and the fact she was not once won, had shouted back and spat at Devmonds feet. Most of the humans had ignored the pop of noise but the dancing group in the center of the tavern, including the men holding the young woman aloft, had stopped to glare at this spirit of dark clouds. The woman was standing now on her own two feet, she looked just as uncomfortable on the ground as above it. Devmond only looked at her a moment, but he saw loneliness in the way her bright face seemed to make the light in the dim room dull. There was nothing he could compare it too but perhaps maybe the first time he saw a sunrise.
A sandy-haired man had parted the crowd and hid away from his sight the white light. He was larger even than Devmond in stature and by broad at least twice more. Wearing a dark green, horribly patterned shirt to match an equally hideous rug in a cheap hotel somewhere. His eyes were narrowed and his breathing quick, which would have seemed threatening but Devmond couldnt take people with bad fashion taste too seriously. The Pallentian moved closer. When he could finally count the hairs on the mans half-shaved chin and see every red vein in his watery eyes then Devmond felt like answering.
I want to exist. Devmond said. He kept his voice to have between only for the little clean air around them. The man snorted and lifted his right arm above his ear. Like a mantis with arms extended, Devmond leapt to grab the front of his shirt. Grinning, he took a fistful of fabric and pulled until he heard the satisfying rip. The sandy-haired human stared as he stepped back and held it in a ball in his fist. A bright spot was on the corner of his left eye and he turned a saw her again. Waving the shirt like an offering of peace, he tried catching her eye and winked. You dirty old dog, dont you dare ever put your hands on my wife again! Devmond said triumphantly while swiveling towards the man's untamed belly exposes to his pointing finger.
I want to exist. Now I could always pinch myself, but that's not the mark of reality. I want to see your reactions, show me that I exist through you. What will you do now that I've stirred you up a little? How much can you convince me? Devmond dropped the piece of cloth of the floor and crushed it with a heel.
Re: Sink or Swim (Cucco and Fairess)
Erato gave no second glances, no second thoughts to the man in black. The same odd tinglings were alight on her forehead, a feeling she realized was reserved for him. So she had no hesitation in recollecting herself, snatching her fallen cloak from the dirty floor and placing her food back in her back as she rushed to her former table. Her harp was still in the seat in one of the chairs where she had left it, and despite the new myriad of stenches on her still wet cloak, she managed to wrap it back over her shoulders with only a small wrinkling of her nose.
... don't you ever put your hands on my wife again! That hoarse voice belonged to none of the tavern men, she knew, and her head almost turned all the way to see the black fish. But she remembered the rule of eye contact and glances, instead pulling her hood back over her head and slipping back into the night outside. The storm had subsided for the time being, leaving only small patters of water to drip from the roof tops.
Having had as much as she could bear from the humans and their buildings, Erato wove her way back to the canals, pausing to watch the moon catch on the water as she stopped to take a breath. Sooner or later, she would have to find a place to stay for the night...
