Kendra Wilkinson Leaves E! For WE TVby Free Britney at . Comments
Looks like Kendra Wilkinson-Baskett is taking her reality show on the road ... or at least hitting the road and leaving the familiar confines of E! for WE tv.
After two successful reality series chronicling the ins and outs of her career and personal life, she's ready to turn over a new leaf. Okay, not really.
WE tv announced today that it will air Kendra on Top, a new docu-soap series that will pick up where E!'s Girls Next Door spinoff Kendra left off.
So it's basically the same, just on a station fewer people have heard of.
"I'm so excited to be joining the WE tv family!" she said. "I'm thrilled to continue showing the world my story and everything coming up in my life."
Everything that comes up in NFL player hubby Hank Baskett and adorable son Hank IV's lives will also be chronicled, of course. Those are her boys.
The show has yet to go into production, but filming is expected to begin this month. Expect a lot of cute moments ... and outfits like the one above.
A 14-episode season of Kendra On Top will begin airing this summer.
Reality shows are anything.....BUT!! Loosely scripted foolishness! What a waste of the airwaves! I think it shows that the average American television viewers perceive themselves as having NO LIFE! Sad.
Maybe it had something to do with the fact she has no skills and "E" would no longer pay her. All she has is mouth & Tits and most of that is mouth! She is a attention driven slut.
Good luck kendra why did u leave E?

You heard it right. To pay off debt, getting another debt is apparently one of the solutions. It is important to take note, however, that this kind of financial move requires enough understanding of the strategy. At the same time, it is a strategy that can only work if executed properly. Otherwise taking another loan from installment loan lenders may result to bigger financial trouble.
How to Reduce Debt through Installment Loan Lenders
For most people, taking another loan to pay for a debt is an insane move. Taking on a debt from installment loan lenders, however, may be one of the ways to get through financial emergencies. There are times when you badly need cash to settle payments for a previous loan. Installment loan lenders can help settle these payments considering cash is released the same day you applied for bad credit loans.
Another good thing about borrowing money from installment loan lenders is the fact that they have no credit check. This means it does not matter if you have previous unsettled loans unlike when you apply for loans in credit unions and banks. This also means you can apply for the loan even if you have bad credit.
However, this advantage comes with a price. Since installment loan lenders are risking a lot in this transaction, the interest rate is quite high and the charges are costly. In other words, if you are going to borrow money from installment loan lenders to pay for an existing loan, you have to make sure the charges are worth it.
For people with existing loans, borrowing money from installment loan lenders is the one of the best solutions. However, it is important to choose the right installment loan lenders to do business with.
Another good thing about installment loan lenders is the fact that they are accessible. It is not difficult to find information about installment loan lenders especially now that they are available online. By taking time to research about different offers from various installment loan lenders, you can ensure to properly weigh your options.
Are Installment Loan Lenders the Best Solution?
Installment loan lenders provide quick relief to your urgent financial needs. The loan is processed and released within the same day of application. This makes installment loan lenders a reliable solution whenever you need quick cash and there is nobody else you can turn to.
However, installment loan lenders can add to your debt if you cannot pay for it on time. This will make the situation worse than it already is. In other words, dealing with payday installment loan lenders should be done with a lot of consideration.
Research is also important when dealing with installment loan lenders. Some installment loan lenders provide lower interest rates and charges compared to others. If you look hard enough, you will find online installment loan lenders that provide the perfect deal for your financial needs. However, you have to make sure that you can make the payment as stated in the agreement or you will suffer the consequences.

A wonderful article. You can sense the joy and movement in a couple of the photos. The faces are much like the faces of today but the clothes and hair are so different. There was a sense of decorum back then, especially amongst women.We came from them. We are here today because of them.

Dr. Franklin Weinstein is Baltimore's top hair doctor and is one of the only surgeons in the region that solely focuses on this very specific procedure. He is not offering a cornucopia of cosmetic services in order to tweak up his incomes. Dr. Weinstein just does hair transplants. Period. Rather than attempt to over provide services, Dr. Weinstein has chosen concentrate exclusively on this rather unique procedure. While other physicians need to constantly review the latest techniques and literature on numerous procedures, Dr. Weinstein choose to delve deep into the subject of hair transplantation while developing a keen eye for the highly subjective artistic side the procedure. The typical cosmetic surgeon must not only succeed at the technical aspects and techniques of a procedure, but they have the additional challenge of having to master the artistic and uniquely personal side of the procedures. Many doctors in the cosmetic medicine field often drop the ball on this. Performing too many different procedures leaves little time and energy for mastering the highly important artistic side of a procedure such as a hair transplant. Perfect technical technique will still lead to a failed hair transplant if the transplants are not optimally positioned to look natural as well as hit the most problematic areas first. Making the choice from the beginning to live and breath hair restoration surgery is why Dr. Weinstein is considered the mid-Atlantics TOP doctor in the field of hair transplantation.

Rihanna Performs Medley of Hits, Wears Short Shorts on Saturday Night Liveby Free Britney at . Comments
Rihanna appeared on Saturday Night Live this weekend, performing "Birthday Cake" sans Chris Brown and "Talk That Talk" in black knee-high boots and high-waisted, very short shorts ... par for the course for the 24-year-old.
She also sang her new hit "Where Have You Been" on what was most likely one of the most elaborate sets a performer has had, an Arabian themed set-up featuring ornate costumes, drummers and at least 10 backup dancers.
Watch both of Rihanna's Saturday Night Live performances here:
I don't think Rihanna is a bad woman every celebrity wear like this every woman and in my opinion Rihanna is perfect and I'm her biggest fan and I don't care what people gonna say and hope she doesn't care too :D
she is such a selfish and disgusting performer-all she cares about is masturbating and not about all the children out there who will get polluted by her crazy antics.
i dont respect her, she is influencing woman to be like a slutt like her
Rihanna you got the money, but really you dont have respect. People like this website, use drugged up stupid sleazy woman like you....to make money.
Rihanna seriously has to decide if she's a singer or a porn star. She is embarassing to watch. Isn't public masturbation illegal? What she does is not entertainment. It's pathetic.
Please our children are watching this and it is so horrible . Our young youth copies this.
She thinks this is acceptable to represent herself in this matter, money is more important to this young woman not her future when this music dies. What man want you really for the beauty in you rather than what freak show that you have to offer. Its not all about your body,whats going on in your head
Both songs as well as the lip-synching were embarassingly bad. Do people really buy this crap and think it is music? Skanky, skanky, skanky! Maybe she and Chris Brown deserve each other. From the way she moves and dresses, she might have asked for the beating he gave her a couple of years ago.
Rhianna: You have been everywhere BUT COLLEGE. Your stripper moves bored me to death. Leave the stripper moves to the strippers.

Toddler died from medical issues, not in a crash as mom raced to hospital: autopsy
SUN-TIMES MEDIA WIRE December 27, 2011 1:24PM
Updated: December 27, 2011 10:23PM
A 3-year-old girl who died after a crash Monday afternoon while her mother rushed her to an Aurora hospital died from a medical condition and not from the crash, police said.
Kayla Bell, 3, of the 1500 block of Victoria Park Circle in Aurora, was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at Rush Copley Medical Center in Aurora, according to Aurora police.
The crash happened about 5:50 p.m. as Kayla was being driven to Rush Copley by her mother, a release from police said. She was apparently suffering an asthma attack and having trouble breathing.
As her 30-year-old mother was driving south on Waterford Drive in a 2002 Subaru Outback, she apparently tried to pass a 2003 Jeep Liberty on the left where the road curves at Fox Point Drive, the release said.
She saw a northbound vehicle head in her direction and swerved back into the southbound lanes where she sideswiped the Jeep. She lost control of the SUV and left the road, continuing south before hitting a fence.
An Aurora police officer heard the crash and found the woman, who said her daughter wasn't breathing. The officer pulled the girl from the vehicle and administered CPR until paramedics arrived, the release said.
An autopsy on Tuesday found Kayla died because of a medical issue and not from injuries suffered in the crash, police said. There were no signs of foul play.
Her mother was treated for head injuries at Rush Copley. No one else was injured and no citations have been issued pending further review by police.

To start, here is TacoMaster's list from Magic-League:
2 x Phantasmal Image
3 x Snapcaster Mage
3 x Sun Titan
2 x Liliana of the Veil
2 x Day of Judgment
2 x Dissipate
3 x Doom Blade
3 x Forbidden Alchemy
1 x Go for the Throat
4 x Mana Leak
1 x Oblivion Ring
1 x Surgical Extraction
4 x Think Twice
1 x Timely Reinforcements
2 x Unburial Rites
2 x Darkslick Shores
4 x Drowned Catacomb
4 x Glacial Fortress
5 x Island
4 x Isolated Chapel
1 x Plains
2 x Seachrome Coast
3 x Swamp
1 x Day of Judgment
2 x Dead Weight
1 x Go for the Throat
1 x Liliana of the Veil
3 x Mental Misstep
1 x Oblivion Ring
2 x Steel Sabotage
2 x Surgical Extraction
2 x Timely Reinforcements
I don't remeber what changes he made (other than him telling me he added AEther Adept), but this is a really good example.
Here is one that made Top 8 at a magic-league Master (note that 5/8 of the decks were RDW in that top 8 :P):
magic-league.com/deck/72891/standard_t2.... Control165951
The forums aren't letting me c&p the deck so I'll link it :P
I would post my list, but it looks almost exactly like both those lists :P
Grave titan: I play it, I think it is really good so i go a 2/1 sun/grave titan split.
Sun Titan: Probably the best fatty in the deck. Brings back Snapcasters and Lilianas <3
Consecrated Sphinx: Still really good. It dodges Dismember and draws cards.
Phantasmal Image: One of my favorite plays with this deck is with this card. Unburial Rites the Sun Titan getting back Phantasmal Image, copy titan, get back other Phantasmal Image, get back Liliana of the Veil.
Snapcaster Mage: This guy lives up to the hype. He is really that good in here. There are a ton of great targets like DoJ, Doom Blade, Dissipate, Mana Leak, Surgical Extraction, GFTT, Timely Reinforcements, etc. If you aren't playing this guy, you are doing it wrong.
Sheoldred (can't remember his (her?) whole name): Not worth it. The deck isn't a reanimate deck, it is a Control deck. DON'T PLAY IT LIKE A REANIMATOR DECK (unless you get a hand that lets you, i.e. t3 alchemy hitting rites and sphinx, then you get turn 4 sphinx)!!!!
Elesh Norn: I'm not going to go crazy about this card. If you want to play this as a 1-of, that is fine, but I honestly wouldn't. Getting to 7 against RDW (probably the best aggro in the new format) is hard so I'm not going to recommend it, but you can play it if you would like. I know it can be nuts if gotten out turn 4, but how often does that honestly happen?
Dissipate: This card is amazing. Not only does it stop flashback cards, but it also helps agains the mirror by countering their guy and they can't Reanimate it. It also helps against RDW's Chandra's Phoenix.
Timely Reinforcements: I promise you that RDW is a real deck. This card is really good at slowing them down. It doesn't help against Hero of Oxid Ridge, but that card isn't that hard to deal with.
Think Twice: Just a great card all around. It is no Preordain, but it does what I need it to do.
Oblivion Ring: Stopping Shrine of Burning Rage before the sb is very important.
Mana Leak: Still the best counter in the format.
Removal: Doom Blade and 1 Go for the Throat should get the job done.
Forbidden Alchemy: 4 is too many, but 3 is a great amount. The card is really, really good. It puts cards in the gy for us to Reanimate later AND it gives us a card.
Liliana of the Veil: This card is amazing. Killing their stuff and discarding cards is always good, but it can be brought back with Sun Titan, and we don't care about discarding our cards that much with having Snapcaster Mage, Sun Titan and Unburial Rites in the deck. Her ult is just the icing on the cake.
Plains/Island/Swamp: basic lands that should be played as it helps your M12/ISD Duals and gives you extra protection from Ghost Quarter.
Glacial Fortress/Isolated Chapel//Seachrome Coast: These lands are weaker in this deck than the M12/ISD Duals which is why they shouldn't be 4-ofs. They can be, but 2-3 of each should be plenty.
Stony Silence: I recommend using this over Torpor Orb. Torpor Orb hurts you as well, this card doesn't hurt you at all. If you need extra Birthing Pod help, go Stony over Orb.
Mental Misstep: RDW is a major game player, having won the magic-league Master and the only 2 trials with ISD so far, and this card stops Stormkirk Noble and Grim Lavamancer...and Furnace Scamp, etc. etc.
Dead Weight: I like this card as it helps against RDW and you can bring it back with Sun Titan. Just imagine if the card had flash xD
Timely Reinforcements: At this point, if RDW is beating you postboard, you are doing it wrong. Timely+everything else=sad RDW player.
Divine Offering- Shrine of Burning Rage, Sword of War and Peace and others, and Birthing Pod are all relevant targets.
Oblivion Ring: Reall relevant.
There are many more options as well, but these are the bread-and-butter cards in the sb.
I will be updating the "decks" section as I have family coming into town, but for now, here is the Primer

HP slips out ProLiant DL560 Gen8 four-socketeer
While Hewlett-Packard has not yet formally announced any ProLiant servers based on Intel's Xeon E5-4600 processors for four-socket boxes, we knew from SPEC CPU benchmark tests that a blade called the BL660c Gen8 is on the way. And now we know a DL560 Gen8 rack-mounted box is in the works, too, with the machine on sale in the US …
Err, know the industry much? Or just getting paid by HP?
"The server has five 2.5-ich drive bays... ...you can't expect more than that in a 2U rack form factor"
The Dell R820, has SIXTEEN 2.5" drive bays!? That is also a 2U 4-socket box with otherwise very similar specs to this DL560 Gen8 (well, the Dell's got an extra PCIe slot, but hey ho).
If we're looking at the Dell R720xd however, which is a 2U, 2-socket box, that one has TWENTY-SIX 2.5" drive bays, and they're ALL hot-pluggable.
I won't even start on the rest of the article.
Err, know the industry much? Or just getting paid by Dell?
Great for Dell that they offer that many drive slots. In my experience this is as useless as it gets for a server in this class as it's usually connected to external storage anyways.
Instead Dell better had put more work in other areas like iDRAC (iDRAC 7 can barely hold up to iLO3, and forget about iLO4 in the Gen8 HP servers), their awful and bug-ridden management tools, and their documentation.
Re: Err, know the industry much? Or just getting paid by HP?
Personally I would rather have hardly any local storage and know that I had some decent cooling going through a 2U box that had 4 procs in it. Maybe that's just my personal preference though. For something as dense as this, surely you will be hooking this up to some form of external storage anyway.
Also your comment about the PCI-e slots is misleading. The 7th slot in the R820 is used for the RAID controller, HP already has their controller built onto the motherboard. In effect they both have 6 usable slots for HBAs, NICs etc. but like you said, hey ho.
Re: Err, know the industry much? Or just getting paid by HP?
The Dell doesn't support 16 disks with top performing CPUs, try their web configurator and you get this error:-
If 4 x 130W CPUs is selected then the HDD's is limited to a max of "8" and must have "2 x 1100 PSU"
So HP have a DL380 Gen8 that supports 25SFF hot plug drives as well.
If you are talking about a 4 proc, 32 core, 64 thread machine it is either a grunty application server with no need for lots of storage, a database server that will be connected to some sort of external storage or a virtual host which again will be connected to external storage.
I do not see 5 local drives bays as being a limitation on this class of server.
In the age of unified storage and SANs, combined with 10GbE or Infiniband, why would you need lots of local storage anyway? If you're processing lots of data locally, you really want that loaded into RAM not on a local disk.
@author: there's room for improvement
I enjoy reading articles which discuss new server models (which is rare enough, the articles not the servers) but the article doesn't really show that the author really know much about the stuff he's writing about. Two examples:
"The machine comes with two processors standard, but if you want the full memory addressability of the system and the full I/O capability, you need all four processors to be plugged in because the memory controllers and PCI-Express 3.0 controllers are on the die, not on the mobo. This is exactly the case with all Xeon E5-4600 machines, not just those made by HP."
Well, since it's unsurprisingly not just the case for HP XEON E5-4800 machines, the author may have wanted to use the industry-known term for that: it's called 'NUMA' (Non-Uniform Memory Architecture, each CPU has its own local memory). And this is nothing new for the XEON E5-4800, the 2-socket variant (E5-2000) is NUMA as well as are it's predecessors (XEON 5500/5600 series). As are all AMD multiprocessor Opterons since the beginning of time btw.
"The system has an embedded Smart Array P420i/ZM RAID 0 and 1 disk controller, which can be upgraded with models with 1GB or 2GB of write cache and RAID 5 support."
Yes, the P420i can be upgraded with FBWC memory modules which add RAID 5 capability. However, it may be worth mentioning that via an Smart Array Advanced license RAID 6/ADG can be added as well, aside from unlocking further functionality.
As a final note, HP puts out detailed spec sheets (called 'quickspecs' in HP speak) for most of its business products, and a search for them on Google helps to avoid to copy little and often incomplete and incorrect information from the HP homepage.
Re: @author: there's room for improvement
Huzzah for quickspecs, but they weren't out publically when article was written.

I never had a chance to listen to disc 3 (because it wouldnt play).
I had to return it to the library the same day I picked it up. Part 1 (Disc 1 & 2) played OK, as did Part 2 (Disc 4). Beats me, what the story was with the other disc??! I hate when that happens. DOH!!!

Rather than report on the exemption itself and the fact that it's existence was kept off the HealthCare.gov website, many left wing sites tried to spin the story as much ado about nothing. First, it's worth noting that a couple of left-leaning sites handled the story fairly. Talking Points Memo wrote a straight-forward story highlighting the existence of a broad 14th exemption which required no documentation. TPM even quoted Tim Jost, a supporter of the law, saying "It is hard to imagine what they were thinking when the threw the door open this wide." Similarly, Brian Beutler at Salon wrote a story about the exemption which, despite some pot shots at the GOP, admits that a) the exemption really is a wide open door to almost anyone and b) the administration has kept it quiet (though Beutler didn't spell out the fact that the 14th exemption had been left off HealthCare.gov for months until it became an issue in the news last week). Compares those stories to this piece at the Huffington Post. Author Jason Linkins seizes on the first part of a Wall Street Journal editorial and pronounces it old news. He writes "the notion that any of this has somehow escaped the attention of the media is straight nonsense." He then offers a list of stories that reported on the 2-year extension of a previous 1-year fix for cancelled policies. He then suggests that maybe the "individual mandate extension itself" is the thing the WSJ thinks wasn't covered by the media. Once again, he offers a list of stories about the hardship exemption from back in December. Reporters from National Journal and TPM pile on to this exercise in missing the point. At the end of his 2,000 word takedown, Linkins still has not mentioned the 14th exemption which was right there at the core of the WSJ editorial. From the editorial's 6th paragraph [emphasis added]: This lax standard—no formula or hard test beyond a person's belief—at least ostensibly requires proof such as an insurer termination notice. But people can also qualify for hardships for the unspecified nonreason that "you experienced another hardship in obtaining health insurance," which only requires "documentation if possible." Again, TPM got it. Salon got it. But HuffPost managed to miss it entirely. It's fitting that Media Matters links this to support its own effort at spin. The Washington Post did a better but only marginally. This piece by Jason Millman frames a story that, as noted above, began with a WSJ editorial about an exemption created by HHS as a "GOP" effort to undercut the mandate. Millman writes "Behind these renewed attacks are the GOP's hatred of the mandate." Hatred? Putting aside that the GOP didn't start this, isn't that a bit loaded? Despite several references to a GOP strategy in Millman's story, there is not a single quote from any member of the GOP. However, Millman does have space for a quote from an HHS spokesman offering a weak rebuttal of the claim which amounts to, not everyone who seeks an exemption will get one. Yes, I think we all knew that. The question is how anyone can be excluded when the language of the exemption is so broad and the requirement for documentation is nil. [I've contacted HHS to ask them whether having trouble with the website, as many people did, would qualify someone for an exemption. They have yet to respond.] Here are the first two graphs of the Post story. One frames the argument as part of a GOP "war" rather than a HHS created (and downplayed) fact. The other immediately rebuts the claim. Note the weasel word "essentially" in the first sentence: In the latest war over Obamacare, the GOP is essentially trying to encourage Americans everywhere to seek an exemption from the individual mandate, the health law provision that requires everyone to get insurance by March 31 or face a penalty. The Obama administration says exemptions to the mandate are much more limited than the GOP and opponents of the law would have you believe. Again, this became a story because of an editorial in the WSJ which highlighted a mostly unnoticed exemption that even supporters of the law will admit is big enough to drive nearly everyone in the market through. The fact that it was left off the list of exemptions on Healthcare.gov suggests it was intentionally downplayed. But the gist of the story at the Post is GOP "war" and "hatred" versus cool HHS rebuttal.

Place of Birth
"He's a workhorse. He does incredible things for the company and he busts his butt. Outside the ring, I can't stand the guy. He's not a nice guy, he holds talent down. He steals ideas. He's a prick." - Tyler Reks discusses backstage politics with John Cena when he was in WWE
February 26, 2014
"Was nice in the beginning, them I realized that he steps on heads and suddenly isn't your friend anymore. He only does what's good for Sheamus." - Tyler Reks discussion his backstage relationship with Sheamus when he was with WWE
February 26, 2014
"If you're not on the radar, he doesn't care about you. I got belittled by him quite a bit. When I came back as T. Reks, that was Vince. Next thing you know, I was Johnny's best friend. And when all that ended, he wouldn't give me the time of day. He is not a nice person. He is all strictly business." - Tyler Reks discusses John Laurinaitis and Vince McMahon backstage
February 26, 2014
Some unfortunate news for wrestling fans tonight. The rumors of Sean O'Haire being dead are true. Several performers, including Tyler Reks, Lance Storm and Scotty Riggs, have no confirmed the death and expressed condolences towards their former colleague. The former WWE and WCW star was just 43 years of age. His cause of death are not immediately known.
September 9, 2014
While he walked away from WWE to focus on his business ventures, Tyler Reks is said to actually be open to the idea of making a return to professional wrestling. His former tag team partner, Curt Hawkins, was recently released from his contract, and the two of them quickly announced that they were available to work independent wrestling shows. There are also some rumors floating around that the two of them could be targeted by Jeff Jarrett for Global Force Wrestling.
July 6, 2014
JTG and Shad Gaspard are not the only former WWE tag team doing a reunion. Word going around is that Curt Hawkins and Tyler Reks are looking into doing a tour of the independent wrestling circuit together. Reks has not been all that active since leaving WWE to start his own business. The two of them should have enough name value to pick up bookings.
June 26, 2014
A lot of people have been expecting the release of JTG since he spoke up to management about pay per view bonus checks a couple of years back, but it never happened. Until today, that is. The former Cryme Tyme member was one of many WWE stars to lose their jobs today. To his credit, JTG has already been planning for this by working on a business project with Tyler Reks.
June 12, 2014
During a recent interview, Tyler Reks shed some light as to why WWE was not releasing people as frequently as they have in the past. For public relations purposes, management is now opting to allow contracts to expire. That draws in a lot less negative attention to the company, and it greatly reduces the chances of the mainstream media picking up on the story.
March 1, 2014
When he left WWE, Tyler Reks made it abundantly clear that he was doing so because he wanted to focus on other business opportunities. He is launching one of those soon in BodySpartan.com, a website dedicated to fitness. Among his business partners are current WWE stars JTG and Ezekiel Jackson, both of whom are on the roster but seldom used.
February 27, 2014
Now that he no longer works the hectic WWE schedule, Tyler Reks has found time to work on projects that he has pushed back while he pursued his dreams of being a professional wrestler. The California native has finished writing a book about fitness and health. He is now waiting for a designer to finish the cover of the book, so he can publish it.
February 17, 2014
Citing a desire to spend more time with his family and focus more on his technology company, Tyler Reks asked WWE to release him from his contract, and the company granted that request. The move comes a week after he and tag team partner Curt Hawkins debuted a new stripper gimmick on Smackdown.
August 21, 2012
There are talks backstage that Tyler Reks has worked his final match for WWE, even though management just recently gave him a new gimmick. He worked a tag team match with Curt Hawkins against two local wrestlers on Smackdown. The belief is that he wants to leave professional wrestling to pursue other business opportunities.
August 14, 2012
Alberto Del Rio won Royal Rumble 2011 by last eliminating Santino Marella. Other participants in the match include Alex Riley, Big Show, Booker T, Bray Wyatt, Chavo Guerrero, Chris Masters, CM Punk, Curtis Axel, Daniel Bryan, David Otunga, Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre, Ezekiel Jackson, Great Khali, Heath Slater, Hornswoggle, Jack Swagger, John Cena, John Morrison, JTG, Justin Gabriel, Kane, Kevin Nash, Kofi Kingston, Mark Henry, Mason Ryan, R Truth, Randy Orton, Rey Mysterio, Sheamus, Ted DiBiase, Tyler Reks, Tyson Kidd, Vladimiz Kozlov, Wade Barrett, William Regal, Yoshi Tatsu and Zack Ryder.
January 30, 2011
"I don't have to tell you how hard I have worked. I don't have to tell you the hours, sweat, blood and tears I have put into this. I don't have to tell you stories so you'll feel bad for me. My dream may have started later than yours but you can't take my dream away from me. You say bad things about me but in the end you don't really know me. I may not be your internet darling but what I am is Fearless. And being Fearless is what has gotten me to where I am today. 8 years of constantly being put down, I am still here. And that's because I am a Survivor." - Nikki Bella defending herself against WWE fans who criticize her
November 16, 2014
"A lot of people talk about the attitude era being so great but a lot of it was terrible crap, sex jokes and over-the-top terrible bad comedy. It was Jerry Springer-like. They made a joke about a woman's breasts. Hilarious, but where's the wrestling? I look back on a lot of stuff now, and I'm like where's the wrestling? It's just a lot of crappy jokes." - Dean Ambrose discusses his disdain for a popular WWE era
October 10, 2014
"Well right now I'm not at liberty to say where I'm going but I will tell you I'm going to do the right thing for me and my family. I am in the process of structuring a deal and I do have a company in mind. I haven't said yes because I want to make it a public thing with the company and myself. I can't really say who it is or where I'm going but I can tell you it's going to happen in the next two weeks before my contract is even up. I won't be wrestling until January but there will be a signing in the next couple of weeks." - Kurt Angle hinting on whether he will stay with TNA or return to WWE
September 10, 2014
"Today, I have made the decision to close a chapter of my life and begin the next. My time with WWE was an experience I will never forget, and I will always cherish those memories. However, I am ready to move forward towards my goals and life aspirations. I am beyond thankful for the continual love and support from coworkers, friends, and fans. Thank you for everything." - Veronica Lane saying goodbye to WWE fans
September 3, 2014
"I've been really quiet since the passing of my husband and the father of my girls. Someone sent me what Mr Bollea had to say in video interview with Grantland yesterday and I would just like to ask him to stop. He is the only person in the WWE Universe who did not give a call or send a card. My girls asked why he didn't check on us like everyone else and I explained simply there isn't a camera at our mailbox or in the house when we receive our calls. I would ask respectfully Mr Bollea, for you to understand my girls hurt and just let some time pass before you say anything more." - wife of the Ultimate Warrior to Hulk Hogan
August 15, 2014
"My mom and my cousin, Savelina Fanene, were struck head on by a drunk driver this week. They lived. First reaction is to find the person who did this and do unrelenting harm to them, but then you realize the most important thing is my family lived through this, and we can hug each other that much tighter these days. Hug your own family tighter today and be grateful you can tell them you love them." - Rock talks about how a DUI almost killed his family
August 10, 2014
"Should be no surprise what happened to Alberto Del Rio. There has always been rampant racism in the industry, from subtle to obvious." - Konnan accusing WWE of being racist towards certain performers
August 9, 2014
"Every two years I go through this. This is just the first public negotiation I've ever had. I think social media has really changed this kind of thing. I'm used to every two years negotiating with Spike and negotiating with other networks. This time is absolutely not any different. We're still talking with them, but there are other people, thank God, that are interested in our product. I want to grow this brand; I want to grow it domestically. I want us to be able to start having the kind of success domestically that we're having internationally. I'm not going to stop and none of us are going to stop until we get there. I'm real excited to see and I think we'll know sooner than later what's going to happen." - Dixie Carter addresses the situation on what TNA is doing with Impact Wrestling
August 7, 2014
"No, I've been there and done it against Chris Jericho and I proved a point, so there's no sense in jeopardizing that. Everyone who saw me work that match said I did good for my age. They have a good memory of that and I'd like to leave it at that. I do know some of the older guys who have come back and tried to work in the ring and it's just heartbreaking to see. I don't want to risk all that because the fans still have a pretty good image of me and my last time in the ring." - Ricky Steamboat talking about a potential return to WWE
August 5, 2014
"Catching Monday Night Raw on my DVR. Just saw all I needed to see. Dolph Ziggler with a huge win. I bought the WWE Network just to keep up with Ziggler." - Kevin Nash praising Dolph Ziggler
August 5, 2014
"If it's true that Spike TV doesn't renew their deal with TNA, it's a double edged sword, in my opinion. They were and are atrociously bad at advertising the show whatsoever. I never used to see us advertised except maybe an hour before Impact Wrestling started. Not acceptable. The most annoying part when I was still wrestling there was I'd see Bellator constantly advertised, and we were doing better numbers at the time. Hell, even Manswers got better public relations by the network than we did. The bad side of the sword is that it obviously takes a ton of TNA's revenue away that they counted on to pay the wrestlers. For the company's future, I think the further they get the hell away from Spike, the better the company will be. That's just my opinion obviously." - Matt Morgan on the rumors that Spike TV is canceling their television deal with TNA
July 28, 2014
"Dolph Ziggler has got to be one of the toughest men to put on a pair of boots, but he's going to be like Mick Foley in another five years because that kid beats his body up more than anybody on the crew. I do know this, in my dealings with him, when I'm his producer, he gives everything he's got. He does some really phenomenal and athletic stuff." - Arn Anderson thinks WWE should push Ziggler
July 20, 2014
"He just signed with us. I was there when he had his tryout at the WWE Performance Center and I met with him there. We've been working on this for a while. His training will start when he gets here. The thing is, you can be a big star anyplace else in the world. That gets you in the door. What you do once you get here is a whole different ballgame. He's no different than anybody else once he walks through the door of the Performance Center." - Triple H on how Kenta Kobayashi will be treated in WWE
July 17, 2014
"I don't think I will ever wrestle again, but if I do, it would be for WWE. I just feel like that's my place. It's where I developed my wrestling abilities and character and that's where I would stay if I was to wrestle again. The good thing about when I left is that I left on very good terms with the WWE. It left the door open for me if I ever wanted to come back. It's not completely out of the question to ever return, whether it's for a short-term or longer. Maybe there will be a point down the line that I miss wrestling bad enough that I'll want to come back. As for now though, I'm just focusing on my company and my marriage and haven't gotten that itch to wrestle." - Kaitlyn discusses her future in professional wrestling
July 17, 2014
"Comedy wrestling is not easy. Santino Marella is one of my favorite wrestlers to watch. sad he's leaving the ring, but happy he made me smile." - Colt Cabana on Santino Marella being forced to retire from WWE due to another neck injury
July 7, 2014
"I disagree with scripting. I think the nature of a promo has to come from your heart and your guts and you have to mean everything that you're saying. Now is the perfect time to go back to that formula. You learn to sink or swim. And guys and gals will start to learn to swim again. That's what's going to make the product feel more organic, more spontaneous and more real." - Steve Austin talks about WWE being too scripted
July 7, 2014
"Heard Petey Williams retired last night. Such a great talent. Always enjoyed his work and working with him." - James Storm speaks on the surprising retirement of former TNA star Petey Williams
July 6, 2014
"Yes, I like Hulk Hogan - and here's why. With each passing year, I think I gain a better perspective on what's really important in life. There was a time - a period of many years - where Hulk's name would bring up some negative feelings for me. He was the guy who made far more than I did with a style that was the antithesis of mine. But for the past several years, whenever I see Hulk Hogan, all I can think of are the words Shane Douglas shared with me about Hulk Hogan and the kindness and warmth with which he showered the kids facing life-threatening challenges, who seemed to find strength and inspiration in Hulk's larger than life physique and personality. I'll never forget those words Shane told me, 'Those kids would just be beaming.' Those words are all I think of when I see Hogan, People can take issue with his wrestling style...as they often do with mine. But, when it's all said and done, Hulk Hogan used that oversized personality, and really big heart to ease so much suffering that he saw around him.. In the bigger picture, does anything else really matter?" - Mick Foley shares his feelings on Hulk Hogan
June 27, 2014
"Obviously this is going to be a big financial changer because you're not going to get all those buy rates. I've had a brief experience with the WWE Network. I signed up for it. I'm not a real gadget guy. I've had an iPad for damn near two years, but I hardly ever use it. I put the WWE Network on there, and I typed in certain matches, they didn't have certain things from NWA or WCW. So I've been going more to YouTube. I think they need a little bit more original content. I need to get on there more to familiarize myself with it. One of the things I've enjoyed is the old Garden stuff and from World Class (Championship Wrestling). I think it was smart to come out with the network. I think it's going to catch on more in the next two or three years, and that's when it will pay off." - Steve Austin shares his views on the WWE Network
June 27, 2014
"He is a pro. He comes to work everyday. He is straight forward and tells you exactly what it is. One of my things was I didn't get to work a match with him. I would have dropped the weight I did and keep the muscle I have. He is a great leader in terms of he talks it; he walks it. He is the face of the WWE and likely so. John Cena gave us all an opportunity to train and have the same training regiment. The training of the NBA and NFL with Olympic lifts for maintenance, for power, better cardiovascular. He was on the forefront. He gave guys an opportunity." - Brodus Clay defending John Cena

Major evidence of this shift was the dominant presence of hybrid vehicles on the show floor, as well as other eco-friendly product offerings. Off the show floor, session topics focused on dealing with rising operational costs, federal reauthorization, public-private partnerships, customer service and sustainability.

The South Hams: southernmost Devon; between the river Dart and river Tamar and south of Dartmoor, lush farmland and wooded river valleys turning to beautiful estuaries, its coast very beautiful and remarkably well preserved – sandy beaches and mighty cliffs between those estuaries, amazingly little sprawling modern ugliness. Inland too, away from main roads, it remains surprisingly peaceful.
Among special coastal places are Dartmouth; sheltered Blackpool Sands; Slapton's long curve of pebble beach and nature reserve lagoon; the cliffs about Start Point and Prawle Point, Bolt Head and Bolt Tail; East Portlemouth's beach and Salcombe's location and views; Thurlestone proving that family seaside places don't need to be brash; Bigbury's huge sands and the fun of getting to Burgh Island; waterside, oak-wood-sheltered Noss Mayo/Newton Ferrers; many others, less easy of access, are for you to discover.
Kingsbridge and Totnes, both old, attractive and small, are the towns at the area's heart; Plymouth – the West Country's biggest town, with Naval base, ferry port, theatre, cinemas, history, Hoe (great views) and Barbican (where the life is) – is on the area's edge. Dartington Hall is an arts centre (films, plays, music, dance) with lovely gardens. Pleasure cruisers ply the Kingsbridge estuary and Dart and Tamar rivers.
Salcombe: one of the most beautifully sited small towns in Britain, at the mouth of the Kingsbridge estuary, a yacht haven with creeks, sandy bays. Waterside pubs, nice shops. Boats to hire, fishing, superb Nat. Trust cliff walks/gardens; museum, tennis, outdoor swimming pool (in summer); pedestrian ferry to East Portlemouth (lovely beaches, The Venus Café and Takeaway). Thurlestone and Bigbury (golf), 6 and 8 miles.

Higher education has come a long way. From 3500 B.C., when wealthy families provided education for boys only, to the late 1980s when the first online university was launched. Consider the developments of culture and society during the Middle Ages or the basic computer systems that allowed for the first remote student-teacher interactions.
Check out our most recent student population map updated December 31, 2010.
Recently, Western Governors University was featured in the Los Angeles Times Personal Finance column by Kathy Kristof. The article focuses on the non-profit approach WGU takes to making higher education accessible, flexible, and affordable for students all over the country. WGU lets students like Orleatha Smith (featured in the article) have a full-time job, take care of family responsibilities, and go to school at the same time. The online university tailors education to the individual and allows students to work at an accelerated pace.
Memorization can be the most difficult part of online university success. Many students are able to apply what they learn to practical situations, but are unable to readily recite what they've learned. If you have trouble retaining information, don't worry, there are a few ways to improve your skills.

Event Date 1: March 25, 2011 10:45 am - 02:00 pm
Rosalinda B. Barrera, assistant deputy secretary and director of the Office of English Language Acquisition (OELA) at the U.S. Department of Education, will address the California Association for Bilingual Education's (CABE) 36th annual conference Friday, March 25 in Long Beach, Calif. There, she will discuss the Common Core State Standards Initiative and later take part in a town hall meeting on critical education topics such as the urgent need to fix No Child Left Behind.

text: Obama calls on Bill 'Mighty Mouse' Clinton to Save The Day by David Webb 5 Feb 2014 Share This: Call me a cynic but we've seen this Obama Clinton play before with both the Congress and the American people. Obama will use Clinton to appear statesman-like and Bill Clinton who loves the game and is arguably a good politician at keeping himself relevant who will get what he wants by being relevant to a president who is falling down. Fundamentally this is dishonesty in politics. Vulnerable Democrats who supported Obamacare 100% are now concerned about their affiliation with Obamacare and this is political survival 101. On income inequality good luck to Democrats on trying to sell class warfare when Americans are sitting at their kitchen tables and see the reality of which policies are hurting them. It will be successful with the Democrat base but not with independents and center-right Americans. Bill Clinton is smart because he helps Obama, then monetizes it due to his power and access which grows his personal wealth. There is a Hillary Clinton benefit factor in this type of meeting as many Americans at first glance don't separate Bill and Hillary Clinton. Say it with me "Hillary 2016." My friends on the right and you sensible Americans need to stay focused on the facts not the hyperbole. Put forth your solutions and work at them towards the 2014 elections. This is going to be a rough ride and the political battlefield will get ugly between now and November. The sad prediction for the American people is ... economic pain.

IMAX Corporation, Paramount Pictures, and DreamWorks Animation have banded together to offer moviegoers who attend IMAX shows of Monsters vs. Aliens, officially known as Monsters vs. Aliens: An IMAX 3D Experience, a limited edition set of trading cards.
The cards are only available to those who attend an IMAX showing of the movie opening weekend (3/27 - 3/29) and you must register on the official web site (look for the "IMAX Offer" button in the lower left corner) and print out the special Super Secret ID badge (see screenshot below).
You are supposed to present this badge at the box office to get your trading cards. Each of the eight cards depict one of the movie's lead characters, and the sets are available while supplies last.
When California girl Susan Murphy is unwittingly clobbered by a meteor full of outer space gunk on her wedding day, she mysteriously grows to 49-feet-11-inches tall. The military jumps into action and Susan is captured and secreted away to a covert government compound. There, she is renamed Ginormica and placed in confinement with a ragtag group of Monsters: the brilliant but insect-headed Dr. Cockroach, Ph.D.; the macho half-ape, half-fish The Missing Link; the gelatinous and indestructible B.O.B.; and the 350-foot grub called Insectosaurus.
Their confinement is cut short, however, when a mysterious alien robot lands on Earth and begins storming the country. In a moment of desperation, the President is persuaded to enlist the motley crew of Monsters to combat the Alien Robot and save the world from imminent destruction.
For more information about the movie, please see the Information Page, where we have links to photos, videos, trailers, and much more! The movie is available in IMAX 3D, traditional 3D, and traditional 2D versions.
To check out showtimes for the IMAX 3D version of the movie, please see the showtimes page and order your tickets in advance!

Gimp Paint Studio 2.0
The collection also includes preset configuration of tools that can be used to speed up the editing process.
Integrating the new tools
Installing Gimp Paint Studio (GPS) has to be done manually by copying the files in the adequate folders created by Gimp on the system, which are generally located under the folder of the current user.
The developer of the brushes and the presets created the resources as a starting point that should provide the user an idea about the extensive flexibility of Gimp and further explore the possibilities on their own.
Resources available
The collection of resources includes brushes, various settings for dynamics, gradients, palettes and patterns. As soon as GPS is included in the Gimp folders all resources become available in the application and can be refined and tweaked to fit users' needs.
The list of new brushes contains about one hundred choices and includes variants of other brushes either available in Gimp as a default option or based on items created by other users.
Details about the brush presets can be found in GPS' manual, which is not available in the archive with the resources but on the developer's website.
Gimp Paint Studio is a nice addition to the GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP) and it holds sufficient resources to expand the horizons of an average user. For users already accustomed to the editing program having a wider range of presets to choose from should speed up the creative process.

ANN has confirmed a pilot ferrying a Vans RV-6 aircraft from
California to Virginia this week has gone missing, possibly in
the vicinity of the Texas panhandle. Friends and family
are looking for any information that may help point rescuers
in the right direction.
According to sources, Jim Willess flew commercially to
California early last week to pick up the RV-6, which had been
purchased by a third party. Reports indicate he began the flight
eastward Wednesday, bound for Virginia's Warrenton-Fauquier Airport
(W66). The first indicate of trouble came when Willess failed
to check in with his family Wednesday night.
Phil Williams, Director of Membership for USUA Flying Club #1 in
Virginia, told ANN Willess was flying a fire-engine red RV-6,
registry N320TX (shown above.) According to Mr. Williams, the plane
is equipped for IFR operation.
Search and Rescue coordinators said the last radar return from
the aircraft was over northwest Texas, approximately 3 miles
from the Texas-New Mexico border in the "panhandle" region. SAR
crews conducted a preliminary search Saturday, but came up
Willess is Training and Safety director for Club #1. Mr
Williams tells ANN Willess has between 25,000-26,000 hours
flying time, including "more airtime with engine-off landings in
cornfields than anyone else I've ever met."
Anyone with information about Jim Willess is encouraged to
contact local authorities, and to pass on that information at the
email links below.

A new meaning for "dog run"


text:
Phillies outfielder Jayson Werth homered three times and tied a franchise record with eight RBIs, as the Phils rolled Toronto 10-3.
Werth hit a solo, three-run and grand slam home run, putting him a two-run homer away from homering for the cycle. Four Phillies besides Werth have hit eight RBIs in a game; the last was Mike Schmidt in 1976. Nineteen others, including Ryan Howard, have hit three homers in a game.
Beerleaguer: Werth, who was plucked from the scrap pile last winter when the Dodgers decided they couldn't wait for his wrist to heal, is turning into the steal of the Pat Gillick era. Although his left/right splits are cavernous, the Phils seem to be drawing more left-handed pitching these days and Werth is playing a significant role, adding a much-needed power bat from the right side to compliment Pat Burrell. They're no longer doomed against a left-hander.
Some thought the outfield would be only a little better than average after Aaron Rowand, but that hasn't been the case. Nine homers by Werth ties Burrell and Howard as he continues to look more like an everyday player and less like a 4th outfielder. He's strong, fast and patient. His defense would show better in right, but that's another subject. His numbers (23 RC, .295 GPA, 9 HR) are up with the best at his position, and his 4.8 P/PA is the very best in baseball, regardless of position.
We discussed extending Hamels yesterday. Here's a guy in Werth who's very interesting. He's still a decent age and is probably ready to start making real money. If they believe he can sustain this level, and if they feel they cannot keep Burrell, you have to wonder if the Phils should think about keeping him around a tad longer than the schedule dictates when the two sides meet this winter.

They can only be used with transparent proxies unfortunately.
We are a school in Lancashire and we use lancsngfl for filtering (netsweeper) and use a proxy. Is there any way to use Kindles when using a proxy server?
They can only be used with transparent proxies unfortunately.
The Kindle Fire will work, but I don't think plain Kindles will.
Mark182 (10th July 2013)
Yeah, just googled the Kindle Fire - Thanks!
I've now had some time to mess around with our Kindle Fire HD. Connected it up to our WIFI put in our proxy settings and it's up and running. The next headache is I have created an account but the school want to buy 30 kindles. Is there a way to have a "master account" and buy a book (x 30 copies) and have them filter down to all 30 kindles?
I E-mailed amazon and this is the reply I got
I understand you would like to know if you can manage 30 Kindle's under 1-account.
I apologise for the misunderstanding caused.
As of now there is no limit on the number of Kindle's you can register under one account.
However the limit on the number of times Kindle content can be downloaded to a registered Kindle device or application varies.
Publishers determine how many copies of each title can be downloaded to different Kindle devices or applications at the same time so there may be limits on the number of devices (usually six) that can simultaneously have a single book or Kindle active content title.
If the limit is less than six Kindles for a specific title, you'll see the message "Simultaneous Device usage: Up to X simultaneous devices, per publisher limits" on the website detail page. Currently Kindle subscriptions cannot be automatically delivered to the Home Screen of more than one device. You can download your Kindle subscription to another device from the Archived Items on that Kindle if both devices are registered to the same account.
So in this case, Some books may have license limit allowing you to share books only to 6 devices. You can deliver most of the content to 6 devices simultaneously.
While I cannot make this change for you personally, I have passed your feedback/feature request you had to go through in this situation to the relevant department for consideration and improvements.
Customer feedback like yours helps us continue to improve the service and products we provide.
Please feel free to forward further comments and suggestions about Kindle to email@example.com.
Each suggestion will be read and taken into consideration.
Again, Please accept my apologies for the inconvenience this situation is causing you.
Thanks for your interest in Amazon Kindle.
Warmest regards,
