In the nearly quarter century since the Idyllwild Earth Fair's inception, the individuals responsible have changed, but the goal and enthusiasm remain. "The constant is that everyone who's involved donates their time and gives from their hearts," said Holly Owens, Earth Fair committee chair. "Idyllwild makes this event happen -- from the donations at our silent auction, to the incredible talent on stage the whole day, to the people who staff the event -- it's a community effort."

Crumrine Idyllwild Town Crier Editor T he 2012 Greenwood Award recipient is Dr. Kate Kramer, botanist on the San Jacinto Ranger District. Kramer has been working in the local forest nearly 10 years and said she still finds the work exciting and new. The award will be presented at the Earth Fair Dessert Reception, which starts at 7 p.m., Friday, May 18 at Town Hall. Following the presentation, Kramer will speak about the enormous flora diversity on the Hill, including lemon lilies. "We are honoring Kate for her advocacy and work on behalf of native plants in our region," said Holly Owens, of the Idyllwild Earth Fair Committee. "Not only is she generous with the public and individuals in sharing her time and knowledge, but Kate has the ability to We are honoring Kate on behalf of native plants in our region ...

Kramer said she was very surprised when Owens called with the news. "This is prestigious company," she said. This is the 21st Greenwood Award and Kramer is the second U.S. Forest Service employee to be honored. In 2004, the Committee gave the award to Daniel McCarthy, noted local archeologist and cultural anthropologist. Although Kramer grew up in southern California and graduated from the University of California at Riverside, she earned her graduated degrees in Texas. Her doctorate in biological systems engineering is from Texas A & M University. After school she has worked with various public agencies assessing and researching primarily botanical issues.

Diners instead opt to carry their food to their table. The reason for this is not a rebellion, but was encouraged. It is because the use of trays, and having to wash them, accounts for a large amount of the cafeteria's water usage (90 gallons a day), as well as concerns about food waste: the thought being that if you had to carry all of it by hand (instead of by tray), diners would be more conscientious about only taking food that they were going to eat. When the students and faculty use a tray, they tend to fill the tray with food. Unfortunately, they wouldn't necessarily eat all of this food and some would end up in the trash bin. Of course, there are those who still prefer the converse of using a tray. Interestingly enough, this is visibly more common with faculty members, not students. When asked, faculty and student responses for their choice ranged from "What are you talking about?" and "I'm lazy" to "How do you expect me to carry all of this?" and "I'm old, and I don't have the time or energy to be running back and forth from the salad bar five times." Other reasons for not using a tray include, "I go up for seconds and my tray helps me carry all my plates back without spilling anything" or "I feel like I'm really messy and my tray helps contain my mess." One even said, "I don't want to carry all of this in my hands," and another said "I'm not the one washing it, so it's not my problem." Going tray-less was suggested by some of the staff and it proved to be effective. Within the first week there was a visible change in the amount of water that was Some perfer to still use a tray, while others embrace the trayused. less mantra.

Page 8 - Idyllwild Town Crier, Going Green, 2012 The benefits of planting California natives lanting local California native plants is a form of ecological restoration that we can all accomplish, whether in a home landscape, community garden, or in patio plant containers. "And, here is the good news; it's not all that hard to do," said to Ben White, who along with partner Jackie Lasater, last year co-founded Wild California Native Plants & Seeds Nursery in Banning. Because they are adapted to prevailing conditions, local California native plants demand little from the environment other than what is provided by nature. You don't have to Bush Poppy or Tree Poppy transport them for long distances because they come from (Dendromecon rigida) here. You don't have to water them much after they are Courtesy National Park Service established or add fertilizer because they have been naturally adapted to the arid climate and local soil conditions for eons. And native plants fit with the local ecology, providing food and shelter to native pollinators like butterflies, native bees and birds. "Even a small area devoted to local California natives can make a huge difference" Lasater said. "Over half of the residential water used here gets used to water the landscape and that just isn't sustainable over the long term."

While it is tempting to bring as many of these plants home to our gardens as possible, we have to first think about how much water it will take for them to grow and thrive. With gardening being the number one hobby in the United States, it is no surprise that each summer water usage rises exponentially due to outdoor irrigation. And with more water use, comes higher water bills. So what is an avid gardener living in a drought prone area to do? There are many tricks and techniques that can be incorporated in gardens everywhere that will reduce outdoor water usage. In the past, we have discussed water saving methods such as installing rain water harvesting systems, creating swales and berms throughout your property, using drip irrigation and soaker hoses instead of sprinklers, adding compost to your soil for better water retention and mulching to keep moisture in. However, what hasn't been discussed yet is container gardening. That's right, container gardening. Gardening in con- Kramer Continued from page 3 One of the projects on which Kramer has had significant influence is the recent effort to re-establish the native lemon lily population. "Everybody loves lemon lilies," she said. "I see people aware and very appreciative to taking ownership of the lemon lily. Up here people now know its history and value. "As a plant person it is wonderful if others got excited for the plants. I'm so glad the town backed the project," she said. Kramer is also responsible for a rare plant tabulation of the local forest. "This is a really good baseline for anyone coming in," she noted. But Kramer has not been restricted to botanical fieldwork and in the laboratory writing reports. In the absence of a San Jacinto District information officer, Kramer took on those duties for the district's fire staff. Whenever there is fire on the local district, such as the Lawler Fire in January, Kramer is the source of abundant and helpful information. "I enjoy being a part of the team," she said. "I love working on fires as the public information officer. Learning those communication skills is really fun." Curiosity is a necessity for any scientist, but Kramer uses teamwork, communication, leadership and creativity, which demonstrate why the Idyllwild Earth Fair Committee is honoring her this year. J.P. Crumrine can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. tainers can be wonderfully creative, flexible and can create a magical ambiance in your garden. It can save you time and water, which in turn, saves you money. Gardening in containers is far less physically challenging than traditional gardening and that makes gardening accessible to just about everyone. One downside of container gardening has always been that containers need more frequent watering as they dry out quickly. But that is no longer a problem because there are now self-watering containers available making it possible for anyone to have a water saving garden as large or as small as they would like, anywhere they would like. Self-watering containers come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, save water and reduce your time spent on watering. They can be used for vegetables, flowers or even in window boxes. If you are an avid DIYer, there are lots of directions on the Internet on how you make your own self-watering containers out of simple things like plastic storage containers, laundry baskets and PVC pipe. What makes self-watering containers unique is that they have special reservoirs that hold water. The plants draw moisture from the reservoir as they need it and this means that your plants are never over- or under-watered and you are freed from the daily chore of watering your containers. Generally, you fill them up once or twice a week -- depending on the weather and the type of plants you have planted -- and you are good to go. The plants do the rest. As a result, you save time, water and money. If you prefer a method that is even more low-tech than the self-watering containers, you can try using the buried clay pot method of irrigation, which just happens to be one the most efficient irrigation systems known. Clay pots, also known as ollas, are unglazed clay containers that are buried in the garden and fi lled with water. The water seeps out through the clay at a rate that is influenced by the plant's water use. You just fill the olla and go. They are excellent for water conservation and can be used in many situations and are especially good in the veggie garden. And, just like the self-watering containers, they save time, water and money. So the next time you get the urge to start planting a garden, remember that with a little planning and creativity, it is possible to have a beautiful garden and save water.

Call Shane for info @ 659-2145 Page 10 - Idyllwild Town Crier, Going Green, 2012 What is the importance of composting? By Marshall Smith Idyllwild Town Crier Staff Reporter hy compost? For one thing, organic waste accounts for 24 percent of material taken to dumps and collected by trash companies. It is almost a quarter of the mountain of trash that we, as the most voracious consumers on the planet, produce annually. Composting materials are routinely thrown away when, in fact, they can be productive and useful. What is it? Compost is organic material that can be used as a soil amendment or as a medium to grow plants. Compost is created by combining organic wastes (yard trimmings, leaves, food wastes) in proper ratios into piles, rows or containers. Bulking agents, wood chips for example, are then added to accelerate the breakdown of the organic materials. Compost improves soil structure, porosity and bulk density, which creates a better environment for a plant's root structure. Using compost to enrich a soil prior to planting a garden is a necessary precondition with many types of soil. The moisture-holding capacity of soil is improved with compost, reducing water loss and nutrient leaching. Beneficial microorganisms are supplied to the soil, which assist nutrient uptake and suppress certain soil-born diseases. Compost adds a variety of micronutrients to the soil and reduces the need for chemical fertilizers, which recent research has shown to damage soil if used over extensive periods of time. And finally, compost acts to release nitrogen into the soil slowly and steadily so plants receive a constant flow of nutrients. In addition to benefiting plants and gardens, compost has been shown to facilitate reforestation, wetland restoration and habitat revitalization by amending contaminated, compacted and marginal soils. Compost can remove solids, oil, grease and heavy metals from storm water runoff. It can help capture and destroy 99.6 percent of industrial volatile organic chemicals in contaminated air and provides cost savings W of at least 50 percent over conventional soil, water and air pollution remediation technologies, where applicable. (Statistics courtesy of the federal Environmental Protection Agency [EPA].) So, the question is why throw away materials that have use? Why buy new materials that can cost as much as $15 a cubic yard when you could use your own compost to prepare soil this year for spring planting next year? According to the EPA, here is the "In" list of good composting materials: animal manure, but not pet wastes; cardboard rolls; clean paper; coffee grounds and filters; cotton rags; dryer and vacuum cleaner lint; eggshells; fireplace ashes; fruits and vegetables; grass clippings; hair and fur; hay and straw; houseplants; leaves; nut shells; sawdust; shredded newspaper; tea bags; wood chips; wool rags; and yard trimmings. The "Out" list, or things not to compose, includes coal or charcoal ash; black walnut tree leaves or twigs; dairy products (such as butter, egg yolks, milk, sour cream and yogurt); diseased or insect-ridden plants; fats, grease, lard and oils; meat/fish bones and scraps; pet wastes, including soiled cat litter; and yard trimmings with chemical pesticides. As a general rule of thumb when composting, use equal amounts of green and brown material. Green materials are nitrogen-rich and moist and include grass clippings, weeds, coffee grounds and kitchen scraps. Brown materials are carbon-rich items such as dried leaves, straw and wood chips. Don't add twigs larger around than your finger; they take too long to deteriorate. Keep compost moist, but not wet. Your compost pile or container should have enough mass for microbes' activity to raise the temperature. Rule of thumb is that a pile be 3-foot-by-3-foot-by-3-foot, but not greater than 5 feet in any direction, to allow air into the pile. The more often you turn the pile, the faster it will become fully composted. Turning means reversing the top and bottom materials on a regular basis. Make sure the compost pile is at least two feet from any building. And, always mix compost with soil before A three-level worm compost bin is easy to make using plastic storage containers and a drill. Photos by Rachel Welch using for gardening. Finished compost can be applied to lawns and gardens to help condition the soil and replenish nutrients. Compost should not be used as potting soil for houseplants because of the presence of weed and grass seeds. Marshall Smith can be reached at email@example.com.

Mothers of Conservatism tells the story of 1950s Southern Californian housewives who shaped the grassroots right in the two decades following World War II. Michelle Nickerson describes how red-hunting homemakers mobilized activist networks, institutions, and political consciousness in local education battles, and she introduces a generation of women who developed political styles and practices around their domestic routines. From the conservative movement's origins in the early fifties through the presidential election of 1964, Nickerson documents how women shaped conservatism from the bottom up, out of the fabric of their daily lives and into the agenda of the Republican Party.
A unique history of the American conservative movement, Mothers of Conservatism shows how housewives got out of the house and discovered their political capital.

City official Rose is Arizona job finalist
Assistant City Manager Margie Rose is one of four finalists for a city manager job in Arizona.
Rose was interviewed earlier this month by the City Council in Goodyear, Ariz., a city of about 47,360 20 miles west of Phoenix. Goodyear spokeswoman Nora Fascenelli said the city expects to hire by the end of the year.
Rose has been with the city of Corpus Christi since 2002.
In October, Rose was one of eight finalists for a city manger post in Keller, in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex. According to a Keller news release, another candidate, Dan O'Leary, the city manager of San Marcos, was selected and the contract is expected to be reviewed by Dec. 4.

ADILABAD: Whether holidays, especially 'second Saturday' kind suit the needs of districts like Adilabad that are mired in backwardness? An innocuous question on a website related to these holidays puts a question mark on continuing with the tradition given the prevalent work culture in educational institutions and Government offices.
Some LPG consumers wanting to complain on March 8 about irregular supply of gas in town found the office of the Civil Supplies Department closed because of second Saturday being holiday. They now have to wait until Monday for their plea to be heard.
The origin of the second Saturday holiday tradition dates back to the days of East India Company.
The Book of Genesis in the Holy Bible says the Seventh Day or Saturday was the day for rest and worship after the six days it took God to create the World. Planet Saturn, from which the day's name is derived, being the second largest, the second of Saturdays in a month was designated as a holiday.
There seems to be no other country that follows this tradition except perhaps Israel because the Jews observe Saturdays as the day of sabbath.
The Internet question seems to take a dig at authorities and the responses it evoked matched its spirit.
"I have never heard of this holiday tradition. Where do you live?", asked a respondent while another person wondered, "Is this true? I don't think so. In what country? I haven't heard of this" and "Not in Canada or US so far as I know", were some of the other responses to the question on the website ph.answers.yahoo.com.
Educational institutions in Andhra Pradesh have about 220 working days while Government offices have about 250 working days. Needless to say that the more the number of holidays in educational institutions, the greater the stress on students and teachers who have to complete the syllabus.
The situation worsens when some regular holiday precedes the second Saturday, like in the case this weekend. Because of Mahasivaratri festival the weekend was turned into a short vacation.

Seeks cordial atmosphere at least before Parliament polls are scheduled
SALEM: The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) should remove irritants in its relationship with the Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK), S. Ramadoss, PMK founder, said on Tuesday.
Admitting that something had created tension in the ties between the two parties, Dr. Ramadoss told reporters that the DMK leadership should take necessary steps to usher in a "cordial atmosphere," at least before Parliament polls were scheduled. More importantly, the "trait of cordiality" should be inculcated primarily in the rank and file of the DMK.
Maintaining that his party had no misunderstanding with Chief Minister and DMK president M. Karunanidhi, the PMK founder said Mr. Karunanidhi respected all leaders. He could be approached at any time for any issue. However, his affable disposition alone was not sufficient to sort out the differences. His Ministers, DMK district secretaries and other party functionaries should follow him in this regard and this could be ensured only by the Chief Minister, Dr. Ramadoss said.
The PMK leader pointed out that he and his party had neither criticised the DMK nor any of its leaders individually while taking up vital issues relating to higher education, sand mining, the titanium project, cable TV and performance of the Chennai city police. On a question whether he had any plans to meet the Chief Minister, he said that he would meet him at an appropriate time.
Dr. Ramadoss urged the State Government to implement the recommendations of a panel of experts on tapping surplus water of rivers in the State, including the Cauvery.
The inauguration of the Salem Railway Division would be held as scheduled, Dr. Ramadoss said, adding he would meet Congress president Sonia Gandhi and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in New Delhi shortly to discuss this and various other issues.
Jayalalithaa flayed
He condemned the statement of All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) leader Jayalalithaa who criticised the Prime Minister in the nuclear deal issue. Political decorum should be maintained when one criticised leaders of the stature of Prime Minister, he said.
The Congress-led United Progressive Alliance would survive the present crisis. The Communist Party of India (Marxist) general secretary Prakash Karat spoke to him over phone on Monday, the PMK leader said.

|Q&A (5) SPECIAL: WWE PROFIT AND LOSS and SOURCES OF REVENUE
|253 weeks ago
|Q: Can you break down the percentages of how WWE makes its revenue? Can you list WWF/E?s profits from different years? How much profit do WWE make on overseas tours?
Here are the profit/loss figures from the WWF/WWE for the last 15 financial years:
May 1 1994 ?April 30 1995 WWF makes a loss of $4.431 million
May 1 1995 ?April 30 1996 WWF makes a profit of $3.319 million
May 1 1996- April 30 1997 WWF makes a loss of $6.505 million
May 1 1997- April 30 1998 WWF makes a profit of $8.466 million
May 1 1998? April 30 1999 WWF makes a profit of $56.03 million
May 1 1999-April 30 2000 WWF makes a profit of $68.937 million
May 1 2000-April 30 2001 WWF makes a profit of $15.937 million
May 1 2001-April 30 2002 WWF makes a profit of $42.233 million
May 1 2002- April 30 2003 WWE makes a loss of $19.455 million ****
*** It should be noted, however, that these losses were entirely from the failure of The World restaurant and not from the wrestling promotion itself. The WWE used its profits from the wrestling business to offset the gigantic losses caused by the colossal flop of The World ****
May 1 2003-April 30 2004 WWE makes a profit of $48.192 million
May 1 2004-April 30 2005 WWE makes a profit of $39.00 million
May 1 2005-April 30 2006 WWE makes a profit of $47.10 million
May 1 2006-December 31 2006 WWE makes a profit of $31.6 million
***Note the the WWE restructed its fiscal year to be in line with the calender year from 2007 onwards ****
January 1 2007 ? December 31 2007 WWE makes a profit of $52.1 million
Results from 2008 so far are as follows:
1ST QUARTER (January 1 2008 ? March 31 2008 ? profit of $19.52 million)
2nd QUARTER (April1 2008 ? June 30 2008 ? profit of $7.0 million)
When it comes to revenue and the percentages, we will break down the year 2007 for you.
For 2007:
TOTAL REVENUE: $4857.7 million
a) LIVE & TELEVISED ENTERTAINMENT $316.8 million (65%)
(of which 25% is from international markets)
i) Live Events $99.3 million (20%). (of which $24.82 million is international)
ii) Venue Merchandise $19.1 million (4%)
iii) Television Rights $92.4 million (19%)
iv) Advertising & Sponsorship $5.9 million (1%)
v) Pay-per-view $94.3 million (19%)

ii) wwe.shop $18.6 million (4%)
d) WWE STUDIO (Films) $16.0 million (4%)
International revenue from live events totals $24.83 million. 70% of this ($17.38 million) is from European countries.
We hope we have made this straightforward enough for everyone to follow, but if they are any questions, ask away ?
Q: Which is better WWE or TNA?
A: As we commented earlier, largely this is a matter for individual preference rather than for us to definitely decide. That said we have never be ones not to engage in a lively debate: this is our current impartial review of the US grap scene.
World-wide, the WWE is the current leader in all aspects of TV production, lighting, marketing, promotion and presentation. The rest of the pack is so far behind that it is difficult to envision any current promotion causing a threat to the WWE?s dominance. Look at the first-rate presentation of their pay-per-views: The Big Shows really feel like important events. Their video packages are top-notch and credit should go to whoever puts these promotional reels together. They play a very important part in hyping the pay-per-views and matches. They have become SO skilled at this aspect of the business that all competitors look like tenth rate imitations.
When it comes to in-ring performances and the booking, it is a different issue.
TNA was on fire throughout 2006 and its pay-per-views were consistently first class in the ring. Unfortunately as 2007 beckoned, it all started to fall apart and the once promising promotion is now an utter shambles. The creative team is booking the league a one way trip to the funeral home. Vince Russo simply does not have a clue how to book pro-wrestling, his ideas are so utterly terrible and unworkable that its difficult to understand why he has lasted this long. After WCW perished, he returned to the WWE and lasted just one day on the creative squad before being unceremoniously booted off for his wacky & ludicrous suggestions (one of which was that The Rock turn into a wrestling character with homosexual tendencies ? similar to Goldust). TNA has a talented roster of wrestlers, but their matches are too frequently marred by a blur of pointless stipulations, swerves, run-ins and outside interference that it consistently fails to leave any sort of lasting impression on the viewer. To grow numbers, it is all up to the booking team. The boys can takes as many impressive bumps in the ring as they like, but until it is backed up by logical & meaningful storylines their efforts will be in vain.
ECW grew a cult following and achieved critical acclaim because it was different and fresh from the other mainstream promotions. You might state that it was never a threat to the WWF/WWE and that much is true. But it began as a small-time independent promotion with practically no resources and no support. That is impressive. ECW?s major problem was that it had a revolving door of talent. It was consistently raided by Eric Bischoff & Kevin Sullivan and to a lesser extent, The McMahons. The groups roster for its final year in business was significantly weaker then it had been for the previous years. TNA does not have the same problem.
WCW despite having the financial backing (as TNA does) only overtook the WWF by creating the explosive WCW vs NWO story-line (inspired by the New Japan vs UWFI feud). An invention that was so damn good, it left the WWF drowning in a sea of red-ink. It was only because of this angle that the WCW took over as North America?s number one promotion, and it was directly because WCW had nothing to replace it with when it ran its course, that the WWF was able to reclaim its dominance. Storylines sell the shows. The talent can only do so much, as Time Warner discovered in 1999.
Back in McMahonland, one cannot knock their performance on pay-per-view all year. The supercards have been consistently entertaining (although Summerslam & Unforgiven were mildly disappointing) and their top-line performers: Edge, The Undertaker, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Chris Jericho, Randy Orton, Batista (save for the WM24 sulking episode), Rey Mysterio & Jeff Hardy have really delivered when it really counts: i.e when people are paying to watch. Truth be known for all the barbs that we throw at the WWE, it has been a great year for in-ring WWE action on the upper tiers. What the creative team has not done, however, is worked to the same standard. A failure to elevate new players to the VIP lounge has led to some repetitive and stale line-ups. Simply put, the WWE must start to push new wrestlers from the mid card to the upper levels. The problem is that so many have been squashed beyond repair (usually by Triple H) that it will take a miracle for some of these names to gain credibility as main eventers.
CM Punk is on the verge of attaining superstar status and as the promotions sole succesful elevation of 2008, his push must continue. Elsewhere, Jeff Hardy MUST defeat Triple H for the WWE title or his momentum and potential might be destroyed for good this time. JBL needs to return to the commentary desk, where he was a superb announcer, and quit boring everyone senseless with his predictable in-ring efforts. On the mid-card, regrettably Umaga has probably tasted defeat on too many occasions to be accepted by the masses as a bona fide headliner. Which brings us to the obvious question: who should be promoted to tangle with the established crew? A quick scan over the roster gives immediate cause for concern. Gifted athletes like Matt Hardy, Finlay & Chavo Guerrero lack the necessary all-round package to ever be headliners. The charismatic likes of Mr Kennedy, MVP & Santino Marella need to improve their in-ring skills before being accepted at the top level. Lower talent like Ted Dibiase Jr, Cody Rhodes, The Miz & Kofi Kingston are far too inexperienced but have bundles of potential that need to be developed first. So in conclusion, good all-rounders like Carlito, John Morrisson & Shelton Benjamin seem to be the most sensible candidates for consideration.
The third recognised group is Ring of Honour. ROH uses a ring style that is so dissimilar to what you see in WWE, that it will never appeal to the casual wrestling audience that watch the WWE. It will probably always be small time. It doesn?t help that the group?s shows have been relatively disappointing so far in 2008 as well. This is largely due to its weakened talent roster. Some of its most talented players have left for new horizons and if its current key players: Nigel McGuiness, Bryan Danielson & The Briscoes leave for pastures new (as will probably happen soon), a very challenging time could lie ahead.
In conclusion, THIS year, the WWE has been the better promotion by far. It?s a long way from being perfect, but the pack has fallen so far behind, it no longer qualifies as competition.
In December 2006, the WWE promoted ECW December to Dismember PPV attracted scores of complaints. Drawing a rubbish 55,000 domestic buys, Vince McMahon was smart enough to realise that these buys and complaints were coming from the loyal, dedicated & hardcore audience. He knew he had to act: and act he did. All three brands were re-united on every PPV as a direct result of the D2D disaster. The McMahons themselves feuded with ECW Champion Bobby Lashley in an attempt to improve the importance of the show and the brand extension was relaxed to allow Smackdown stars to appear regularly on ECW. Was it a success: yes and no. The PPVs are of a higher quality artistically, but star development has been abandoned. But he listened and he acted (in his own way). Dixie Carter & Jeff Jarrett had better start listening to TNA fans and fire Russo before its fiercly loyal and supportive fan base start to switch off. Total Nonstop Action Wrestling will be doomed otherwise.

|Great read. It annoys me that WWE make such huge profits despite their show being pretty stale for the last 5 years. Judging by the numbers it's the international market that's the driving force, i.e. kids that haven't been exposed to the product before/en masse. Things are down stateside but up everywhere else.

|I really hope HHH puts Jeff over for the title (at the right time, of course), and not squashing him for 15 mins before a fluke win just like December 07's Armageddon. HHH has been driving me crazy lately with burying all his scramble opponents in the ring, backstage and on the mic. I flipped out (the bad kind) when he kept breaking kayfabe in his obviously-penned-for-Cena promo on smackdown before Unforgiven.

|Thats well spotted! 3 letters for you: x, f and l. The mcmahons launched a football league to run during the nfl's off season. It was a joint venture with us channel NBC. And cost d wwf and nbc $30 million each to start up (this came off the pro wrestling profit). It started in feb 2001 and was an unmitigated disaster. Like the other mcmahon bomb: the wbf, we are meant to pretend that it never existed. Now lets never speak those 3 letters again :-)

|Good writing guys, i really enjoyed that.
I've gotta agree with you for the most part. WWE has been very stale for a number of years now & on the rare occasions that they elevated some of the mid card they've rarely really let them run with the ball, e.g. Edge had 2 short runs as champion on Raw only to lose to Cena quickly (and feud with no one else).
CM Punk was never booked like a real champion & was portrayed as poor imo by playing second fiddle to cena v batista & Jericho Michaels. I personally believe the world title should always be the centrepiece of the brand no matter who is champion.
Rey Mysterio, Ortons first run, Kennedy & Jeff Hardy are other examples of the wwe's reluctance to create new stars.
What saves the wwe i think, is their production values. They've got astounding promo & video package guys. I mean, they can make a non-important feud or match seem unmissable. Plus the set, the high quality cameras & just brand power in general...

|...all play a part in keeping the numbers of fans so high (in comparison to TNA that is, im sure Vinces nearly has a stroke when he seen Raw float around the 3.0 mark)
Where do you start with TNA?
Probable with the root of all evil, creative. How many time can they say in interviews that the next thing we're gonna work on is taking a change in creative direction. That we're gonna stop using stupid gimmick matches to get a feud over, we're gonna simplify everything & focus on storyline driven feuds instead of boooking nothing more than a series of old & cliched spots, that have no purpose but to swerve the fans for the sake of it (rather than build slowly and make the fans actually get into it)
Dutch, Russo & Jarrett are simply not working out (remember the good ol days of tenay & d'amore doing the majority of booking) & russo needs to go for the sake of the company.
At least they get it right in the ring... and thats why i prefer watching TNA to WWE.

|Stephen Roe said...
|I usually look forward to TNA ppvs a lot more than WWE show because i know that im gonna see 5-6 good matches everytime.
Its pretty rare to have a WWE ppv where i could say that i enjoyed 5matches on the card, mania is probably the last time that happened, although summerslam was pretty good.
and as good as their promo guys are, they generally only have a storyline for the main events and the mid cards are poor so as to not outshine the big boys in the main event.
anyway, pardon my rant.... i can get caried away sometimes

|The 2002-03 fiscal year WWE posted a loss of over $19 Million. What would their profit be if you didn't take The World's losses into account? And why didn't Vince throw a few million at the World Wildlife Fund to keep the initials WWF? Or does vince desperately want to get the 2nd "W" out, i.e. wrestling (they're "entertainers" now)
|Report Spam
|Piledriver Wrestling said...
|The World's losses were just under $36 million. Which means that the wrestling company itself made a profit of just under $16 million in this period.
We believe that the World Wildlife Fund rejected any offers at a cash settlement (or at least the amount that the WWF/WWE was offering). But we are not entirely sure, because its just a rumour. What was negotiated out-of-court happened behind closed doors, so its slightly shrouded in mystery. Sorry, we can't be more specific guys.

Aquino signs expanded anti-trafficking law
MANILA, Philippines—President Aquino on Wednesday signed the expanded Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act, or Republic Act 10364, which provides for strengthened prosecution of those who engage or attempt to engage in human trafficking, as well as protection to trafficked victims.
It is Malacañang's hope that the new law would result in the United States' removing the Philippines from its anti-trafficking watchlist.
"This is a concern and a priority of our President and this measure will be enforced by the different agencies, especially by the Department of Justice as well as our police agencies," said presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda.
According to the Malacañang, the new law is an expanded and strengthened version of the Anti-Trafficking Law, and now covers attempted trafficking. It also has accessory liability as it covers more related acts and individuals.
Under RA 10364, recruitment in the guise of domestic or overseas employment for sexual exploitation, forced labor or involuntary debt bondage, can now be considered human trafficking.
Also considered as human trafficking are these acts: recruitment of any Filipino woman to marry a foreigner, engagement in sex tourism, recruitment for organ removal, and recruitment of a child to engage in armed activities abroad.
Penalties range from six months' community service to 20 years imprisonment, and a maximum fine of not less than P2 million.
Lacierda said that the Philippines was making progress in cutting down human trafficking.
"Over a year ago we were taken out of that category—Tier 2. [But] we're still in the watchlist. We would like to improve our standing in the watchlist and we hope that, with this expanded coverage of anti-trafficking, we will be able to remove ourselves from the watchlist," he told a Palace briefing.
In 2011, the Philippines was upgraded from Tier 3 to Tier 2 in the Watchlist of the Trafficking in Persons Report of the US State Department. This meant that the country was making serious efforts to deal with human trafficking although it had not fully met the standards imposed by the internationally recognized Trafficking Victims Protection Act.
Former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had cited the Philippines as "among the countries that have made a lot of progress" in the global campaign against human trafficking.
Sen. Loren Legarda, the principal sponsor of the measure in the Senate, said the new law would strengthen the fight against the abuse of women and children who are the ones being mercilessly trafficked.
She said she hoped to live to see the day that human trafficking for sexual exploitation or labor is finally eliminated.

Multiple deaths in ComVal families make it difficult to move on
NEW BATAAN, Compostela Valley, Philippines – Bonifacio Adlawan, 54, admitted the difficulty of accepting that his wife, Carmelita, 48, could be among the hundreds who died during typhoon Pablo's onslaught here last week.
"I really love her," Adlawan said as he narrated how close they were since their teenage years when they first met. Their union bore seven children.
Carmelita, along with one of their daughters and two grandchildren, went missing when Pablo lashed at this town. They had not returned home since or had been found alive.
His son Pedro lost his entire family.
"Bebing, who is my son's wife, is missing and also one of their children. Their other child was found dead," he said.
"I cry almost every morning," Adlawan said of his emotional state since Carmelita and their kin disappeared at the height of typhoon Pablo.
He said he should gather the strength to move on now, although he has been deeply disturbed by the thought that "I have not seen them given proper burial."
Elsewhere in the town, many people like Adlawan have started coming to terms with reality: missing kin, numbering nearly 476, who might not have any chances of getting back home alive anymore.
About 250 bodies had already been recovered in this town alone.
"Those unidentified corpses would be buried in one of the graves, while the identified bodies into the other hole. The graves are made in concrete due to health and sanitation concerns," Marlon Esperanza, municipal information officer, said.
A young woman on Tuesday approached Esperanza's desk to check if her father was among those listed as dead.
"It's been more than a week already and I don't think he would still be found alive," the woman from worst-hit Andap village, said as she browsed the long list of dead victims written on a cartolina and tacked near the makeshift information center at the town proper.
"Until his body had been found and positively identified, we cannot just yet include him on the list of dead (victims)," Esperanza replied.
A few number of survivors said they would only give up hopes of finding their relatives alive if their bodies were found.
"I will only return (to our village) if mother and my family had already returned," Pedro said.
Other victims are now prioritizing keeping their surviving family members alive by promptly lining up for relief goods at distribution centers.
Violy Saguing, 38, who lost her eldest child Rodyard to the disaster, said living in an evacuation center has been difficult and lining up for relief goods has compounded their suffering.
"It is so hard to fall in line," a sobbing Saguing said when the Philippine Daily Inquirer saw her.
"My husband, who is an office worker, joined a volunteer group that repacks goods for distribution. But he could not directly hand me the food items needed to keep our children away from hunger. I still have to fall in line," she said.

We're not crying wolf! There actually exists diet known as the The Werewolf Diet, with other alternate names like The Moon Diet and The Lunar Diet. Basically, the diet is designed as per the phases of the moon. Apparently, this might help one lose two to six pounds in 24-hour period. Sounds bizarre? We think so too. Hollywood celebrities like Madonna and Demi Moore too, have allegedly followed the diet. But does it even make sense?
The Diet
There are two main variations of The Moon Diet. First, the basic moon diet plan during which either during the full or new moon one is on a strict liquid diet comprising vegetable and fruit juices and water. One can also have tea with honey but no sugar. It claims that the body is cleansed of its toxins and one can lose up to 6 lbs of water weight in a day. Second is the extended moon diet plan, which involves fasting on a full moon, as per the basic moon diet plan and in addition there's guidelines for weight loss during each of the major phases of the moon. The best time to begin the diet is on a full moon. Later, as per the phases of the moon, like the waning moon, new moon and waxing moon, one has to continue with a restricted diet.
Moon's effect
Just like the tides, does the moon have an effect on one's eating habits and subsequently, the body's health? Tarot card reader and numerologist Shradha A Salla agrees saying, "Yes, the moon shows its effects on water. High tide and low tide is cause by the energy of the moon, because the human body is made up of approximately 70 per cent water the moon has a direct effect on our hormones, these hormones in turn affect our behavior by causing mood swings and hence in turn affect our eating habits. The moon as has an affect on health, due to hormonal fluctuation which can cause hair loss or irregular period cycle."
Consultant nutritionist Niti Desai on the other hand disagrees saying, "There is no scientific evidence for this. Effects of moon on large water bodies such as oceans can not be extrapolated to a human being. It is just one more of the gimmicky diets with a very short life as there is absolutely no scientific evidence."
Does the diet make sense?
Salla who opines that the moon does have an effect on the health and one's eating habits, however, disagrees with the feasibility of diet. "I do not think this diet makes sense because besides the moon there are also other planets that are ruling us at the same time. If there is another low energy planet that is ruling you and you have not eaten a bite all day long, you will only end up having a bad day with no energy in your body to function," she reasons out.
Desai says that the basic Moon Diet plan is just a variation of a fasting day/detox programme. "There's no scientific evidence of its feasibility and it goes against all the established tenets of nutrition like losing 6 lbs in a day, and all such tall claims to which lay people easily prey to. There will be temporary rapid weight loss but also guaranteed weight gain in the form of a rebound."
