* Jacobin's brief history of neoliberalism is quite good, though the claim that the Tea Party is irrelevant or that the GOP is on the ropes seems especially odd after last night's wonderfully improbable defeat of Eric Cantor.
* You'd think at the "legacy project" point of his presidency Obama might want to avoid phrases like "misspent years" and "talking your way through" things.
* Pizzeria Boss Fined $334K Because You Can't Pay Workers In Pizza And Soda. Why not let the free market decide if pizza is currency?
* The Mental-Health Consequences of Unemployment. The jobs with the highest incidence of depression. Both cases seem like prime candidates for the left critique of the medicalization of depression, which is that sometimes you're depressed because your circumstances are bad, not because your brain is misfiring.

*Amateur sports is a relation that has existed for so long, with the general public's acquiescence if not outright approval, that it's hard to imagine an alternative. Even the most rational commentators struggle for another way to do business, not just cartoonish right-wingers like Alexander — a man who's clearly happy to keep making less than the football coach, but not so enamored with the idea of a Tennessee running back being able to feed himself.
* Neoliberalism and the rise of the sports management movie.
* …Tuesday, five former Buffalo Bills cheerleaders filed suit against their own team, alleging that the Buffalo Jills were required to perform unpaid work for the team for about 20 hours a week. Unpaid activities included: submitting to a weekly "jiggle test" (where cheer coaches "scrutinized the women's stomach, arms, legs, hips, and butt while she does jumping jacks"); parading around casinos in bikinis "for the gratification of the predominantly male crowd"; and offering themselves up as prizes at a golf tournament, where they were required to sit on men's laps on the golf carts, submerge themselves in a dunk tank, and perform backflips for tips (which they did not receive). The Buffalo Jills cheerleaders take home just $105 to $1,800 for an entire season on the job.

Almost two-thirds of court admissions to state prison are for property and drug offenses, including drug possession (16 percent), drug sales (15 percent), burglary (9 percent), and auto theft (6 percent).
Then, she says, the prosecutor began rattling off names and showing photographs of people, asking about their social contacts and political opinions.

* Who accredits the accreditors? The U.S. Department of Education on Wednesday notified the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges that it is out of compliance in several areas related to its sanctioning of City College. The commission must take "immediate steps" to avert the suspension or termination of its federal recognition as an accrediting body, according to a letter from the department.
* Where is all that extra tuition revenue going?
During this time, he finds that both gross and net tuition revenue rose by nearly 40% in real, inflation-adjusted terms. How did university administrators decide to spend this money? If you guessed "on hiring lots more underlings, and giving enormous raises to themselves," you have just won an authentic Gordon Gee bow tie. Gale finds that University president salaries rose by 50%, and total employee compensation went up by 22%, yet full-time instructor salaries (this includes both tenure-track and non-tenure track people) barely rose at all. Indeed the latter category may well have declined if non-full time adjunct faculty had been included.

Saitō ventured a count: There were 1 million people in a state of withdrawal or hikikomori, about one percent of the Japanese population. Eighty percent of them were men; 90 percent were over 18. "Social withdrawal is not some sort of 'fad' that will just fade away," Saitō wrote. It is "a symptom, not the name of an illness," and "there has been no sign that the number of cases will decrease." His book became a best seller in weeks. Hikikomori joined otaku (a person with obsessive interests) and karoshi (death from overwork) as a loan word in English to describe a new social phenomenon that at first appeared uniquely Japanese.

Publisher's Description
Imagene Doll loves her town of Daily, Texas, but things are lonelier without her beloved husband. Life seems dull. At least until that fancy-dressed woman pulls into town, looking terrified and glamorous all at once. Soon life's not the least bit boring as Imagene--and the rest of Daily--find themselves at the center of a media maelstrom...with a young girl's future on the line.
Author Bio
This novel is laugh-out-loud funny and quick to read. Lisa Wingate does an excellent job of phonetically spelling out the way in which the people talk consistently and in such a way that you can practically hear them talking in that Texas drawl. This author also does a remarkable job of creating all of the quirky and endearing characters one would expect from a small town. With the ghost of the Daily Hotel lurking around and tales of posthumous visits from Elvis, even the town takes on a personality of its own.
This is such a cute story that is more than just a romanceits about friendship, big dreams, and having courage, too. The wit and charm of the small town created was truly inspired and translated to the novel as a whole. I would recommend this book to anyone who is in the mood for a laugh, a budding love, and some characters readers will want to open the book back up to visit over and over again. -- Shannon Potelicki, www.ChristianBookPreviews.com

I just finished reading it on my Kindle and I loved the characters. I could see myself in the town of Daily. I was drawn into the small town talk and the quirky characters. I laughed and cried and just had a great time reading this. Lisa has a new novel coming out in September; The Sea Keeper's Daughter, so looking forward to it.

beverly GriderOklahoma City, OKAge: 45-54Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Feel good & laugh out loud funnyJuly 17, 2011beverly GriderOklahoma City, OKAge: 45-54Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5What happens when a TV producer from the big city meets the small town Texas charm of the citizens of Daily, TX? A well written, exciting, and funny story that will have you laughing out loud one minute and wanting to write down inspirational passages the next.
"Talk of the Town" is the zany story of a producer, her Swedish boss (the kind everyone loves to hate), an eclectic mix of town people and a talented young girl who deals with fame. Ms. Wingate tells the story in first person through the eyes of two of the main characters: Mandalay Florentino and Imagene Doll.
This story draws you in and keeps you turning page after page. Ms. Wingate makes a good point about the ways God can make use of everyone's life, even with our flaws. She also touches on the way society looks at morality, and the way people should act toward each other according to the Golden Rule.
I enjoyed Ms. Wingate's ability to weave life enhancing information throughout the story. Two sentences that really stayed with me, for example, were, "It's not your life Mandalay, it's just your job; there's a difference." And the other, "Quit fighting the sails & let the wind move the boat. Drift on faith for awhile."
Being from Oklahoma, the Texas accents felt right at home and added to the authenticity of the story. All of the characters were believable and with Ms. Wingate's vivid descriptions, you felt as if you could sit right down in the cafe and become part of the town.
I would really recommend this book to anyone. For more information on Lisa Wingate and her books, please visit her website, http://www.lisawingate.com/index.htm.

Transformation by electroporation. Two micrograms of transforming DNA were mixed with 400 l of the OSC suspension and kept on ice. High voltage pulses were delivered to 400 l samples in 0.2 cm electrode gap cuvettes (Bio-Rad Laboratories) by using a Gene Pulser apparatus with the Pulse Controller (Bio-Rad Laboratories). Following delivery of the electrical pulse, OSC were mixed with 1.0 ml of Potato Dextrose Broth (PDB) plus 1.2 M sorbitol (PDBS), incubated for 10 minutes on ice, and then for 2 hours at 28 C. When PEG was used, the following modifications were made: before adding the transforming DNA, spheroplasts were centrifuged at 4,000 x g for 15 minutes; the pellet was resuspended in 400 l of 1.2 M sorbitol plus 1.0% PEG 6000 (Fluka); and, after electroporation, the OSC were mixed with 5.0 ml PDBS. After the incubation period of either treatment, aliquots were plated using an agar overlay on plates containing PDA plus 1.2M sorbitol and 100 g/ml of hygromycin B as previously described by Herrera-Estrella et al. (1990).
DNA preparation. DNA was isolated from T. harzianum mycelia grown in liquid cultures in PDB medium plus 20 g/ml of hygromycin B (Calbiochem) according to the method described by Raeder and Broda (1985).

What you see is what you get. Must be kid and pet friendly :)
My kids are a big part of my life. We like to go to movies, museums, the beach, camping, just about anywhere. In my free time without the kids, I like to bike, hike, kayak, go to movies, and relax at home. I'm always up for a quiet dinner with good conversation; honestly, I'm not a party girl at all. I'm looking for someone who understands and accepts my role as a single, working mom. I'm hoping that special someone is as family-oriented as I am, adores children and animals, and delights in my chaotic life as much as I do. I'm not on here to date around. I truly want to meet my soul mate, my best friend. I have a career, a car, a house, and a good heart. I can take care of myself; I don't need rescued. I'm not perfect, and I don't expect you to be. I do ask that you are genuine, honest, and respectful; I promise to give you these things, too. Need to know more? Just ask. :)
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos
Aerobics, Cycling, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I have Cats, Dogs, Fish, Other
I like Birds, Exotic Pets, Horses
Most of my pets are rescue animals. My girls and I are such bleeding hearts when it comes to children and animals.

Choosing an Elementary School in the Charlotte Area
When comparing regular Charlotte-area elementary schools to charter and magnet schools, one should keep in mind the differences between charter schools, magnet schools and traditional public schools.
Magnet schools are in most cases alternative public schools that offer a specialized curriculum. At the highest level, North Carolina magnet schools and traditional elementary schools tend to be managed by the same entity - the county school superintendent's office. Magnet schools normally can accept students from anywhere in the county in which they are located, and often limit the acceptance pool through a lottery system.
Charter schools, on the other hand, are each independently managed. They tend to accept students not only from the county in which they're located, but surrounding counties as well. Like magnets, charters tend to use a lottery-based acceptance method.
Regular elementary schools are sometimes called "zoned schools," "neighborhood schools" or "zip code schools." This is because they accept students from a limited geographical area - such as a town or a specific set of subdivisions. Regular schools do not tend to use a lottery system. Regular elementary schools are the most common kinds of schools in North Carolina.

Shannon Martin - A balancing act in progress
Shannon Martin should have been a juggler. The Port St. Lucie Councilwoman thrives on the challenges of balancing her work schedule and her home life, and is not afraid of keeping the ball in the air for tough decisions.
Moving with her husband and family to Florida was one of the easiest decisions for her, though.
Shannon was raised in Connecticut, but was living in Pennsylvania when the Martins decided to move in 2006. "We'd always talked about retiring here, and then decided, why wait? We love the Florida weather and being able to do things outdoors year-round with the kids. We have access to the woods and to the beach on any given day!"
After moving to Port St. Lucie, Shannon worked as a paralegal, and most of her free time was spent involved with her children's activities, cheerleading, dance and karate.
"I always had the desire for public service, but never the opportunity," she says.
Until 2010, that is, when she was elected councilwoman for the City of Port St. Lucie, which she now considers her fulltime job. "It's important for me to be here. It's challenging and yet there are plenty of rewards. There are tough decisions to be made and I'm glad I get to be part of the decision-making process."
Shannon's new job gave her a bird's eye view of what needed to be done in the community and she jumped right into her involvement. One of the first boards she joined was the Boys & Girls Club of St. Lucie County, where she has chaired several special events, including last year's successful Steak & Stake.
"My kids had attended a Boys & Girls Club Kidstop afterschool, for a while," says Shannon. "I was so impressed with what the club offers families. Family is the most important thing to me and I will do whatever it takes to help other families. The programs the Boys & Girls Club offers are invaluable and I love being able to help them raise funds for them."
She also stays busy as a member of the Port St. Lucie Downtown Lions Club, serves as commissioner on the Fire District, board member for the St. Lucie Planning & Zoning Organizing Committee, and on the Treasure Coast Education Research & Development Authority.
It's not unusual to see the Martin youngsters sitting patiently at a meeting with their mom, or visiting Port St. Lucie special events.
"There's so much to do in this city," says Shannon. "It's wonderful to live, work and play here. We have one of the best parks and recreation programs in the state. That's one of the things that drew me here. I'm delighted to be charged with helping make the city even better."

NILAI: It is never too late for students to say "thank you" to their teachers even long after they have left school.
National Tokoh Guru 2013 winner Rabiah Johari said she had the greatest satisfaction after her students reached out to her and thanked her on Facebook.
"Teaching was a job that gave me delayed gratification. Sometimes when students are still in school, they may be too young to appreciate their teachers.
"It is usually when they are older that they are able to see what their teachers had done for them," Rabiah said after receiving the award fromDeputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin during the National Teachers' Day celebrations Thursday.
Former Education Ministry deputy director-general Datuk Noor Rezan Bapoo Hashim was honoured with the National Education Leadership award at the same ceremony, and said good teachers are made, not born.
"As long as one has a passion for teaching and a strong desire to contribute to society, anyone can be a great teacher," said Noor Rezan who is currently the education adviser for Khazanah Nasional Berhad.
Also receiving the Tokoh Guru 2013 award were Wan Hamzah Wan Daud and Jacob P.C. Mathews. Sri Cempaka School founder Datuk Freida Pilus received the Tokoh Guru award for national private schools.
Earlier, Muhyiddin said the merging of the Education and Higher Education Ministries will enable better management of the country's education system.
He said the move meant resources and expertise from schools and higher education institutions can be shared to improve the overall quality of education.
"Our efforts in transforming education can be carried out more efficiently as experts from all education sectors work together to make greater leaps in our education system," he said in his speech when launching the celebrations.

Gear Review
Limited application cam
The camming range of these guys is great for the price of weight and a hard metal used for inner lobes. The former means you carry more weight. The latter means cam will walk more when inner lobes contact with rock.
There are a couple of thoughts on building a trad rack:
1. When I need to set 6 pieces of protection I will place 6 pieces.
2. When I need piece of protection to 1.25" I will place a 1.25" piece. I don't care whether it can be used for 1", 0.75", whatsoever. I need 1.25", I place it. I probably will place 1", 0.75", whatsoever piece at another spot (probably is a keyword here).
I don't care about greater camming range. I do care about having N pieces of protection of the relevant sizes. And I want them to be as light as possible.
These guys (especially yellow) are great to save for the end-of-pitch and building anchor. But definitely not a trad rack building back bone.

Whether the impeachment of President Obama is "on the table," "off the table" or under the table is a matter hotly disputed these days by Democrats and Republicans as each side jockeys for position on the volatile issue of illegal immigration between now and the fall elections. Ironically, say the Republicans, it is the Democrats who are talking up impeachment.
Congress and the American people "will not stand" for altering or suspending the nation's immigration law by executive action, Senator Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) said in a Senate speech Monday.
President Obama is planning "very significant" executive action on immigration by summer's end, according to a senior White House official.
Unnamed White House officials told reporters on July 24 that the Obama administration is considering granting refugee status to minors and young adults from Honduras. The plan, which is still under consideration, would involve screening the youths in Honduras to determine whether they qualify to enter the United States as refugees or on emergency humanitarian grounds.
Judge Michael Baird of the federal Dallas Immigration Court said on July 22 that 18 of the children whose cases he was scheduled to hear on that day didn't show up for court. The unaccompanied children were among 20 from Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala who were set to appear in Baird's court for initial deportation hearings.

Fort Pierce police, U.S.Marshal charge 2 men after search of home
Fort Pierce police and members of the U.S. Marshal's Fugitive Task Force arrested two men Tuesday after they executed a search warrant at a home in the city and found drugs and a gun, according to a statement from the Fort Pierce Police Department.
They confiscated 100 ecstasy pills, 71 oxycodone pills, a small amount of marijuana and a .357-caliber revolver, the statement said.
Dexter Murriel, 29, who lives in the home in the 1400 block of Havana Avenue that was searched, was charged with possession of a firearm by a felon, possession of ammunition by a felon, trafficking in ecstasy, trafficking in oxycodone, and possession of marijuana, it said. He was being held without bond Thursday at the St. Lucie County Jail.
Adam Peavy, 21, who lives in the 3300 block of Avenue N in Fort Pierce, was charged with possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia, records show. He was released from the jail Wednesday after posting a $1,500 bond.

Bikini Photos of Kelly Ripa and Shirtless Photos of Mark Consuelos in Miami
Kelly and Her Bikini Collection Work It in Miami
by katie henry
Like us on Facebook
Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos made for one hot couple as they soaked up the Miami sun over the weekend. They were showing off those swimsuit bodies and playing with their kids poolside when they weren't sneaking kisses. Kelly's in Florida to shoot a few episodes with Regis this week, and she seems to be having no trouble unwinding when she's off the set. She works hard to keep those abs intact, which has earned her a well-deserved place among all the sexy bikini bodies in Hollywood.

Ok. So let me start off by saying I really like Kelly. I think she is smart, sweet, and funny. But i also feel like being too fat is unhealthy being too skinny is too. A woman is supposed to have some fat on her body. Albeit not 100 extra pounds. I think we have become too obsessed with this idea that if you can pinch any part of your body then their is a problem. Everyone views fitness as different. I prefer to be in the shape of women like Venus and Serena Williams, or maye Kate Winslet. Some junk in the trunk and some hips. And a little up top and neva hurt nobody!!!

Sorry ladies, men would rather touch, feel, kiss and have sex with Kelly Ripa's body than with a bloated, fat, lazy pudgy body like most of you have. Defend yourselves all you want to make yourself feel better--Kelly is hot, active, sexy and in incredible fitness shape! Men LOVE this in a woman! Fat rolls...not so much!

She is clearly NOT anorexic with all that muscle tone and she definitely has not had a tummy tuck because she wouldn't have an "outie" belly button if she had. Some people are just lucky when it comes to gaining ab muscle tone back after having children. Her body type is not everyone's ideal, but she is clearly in awesome shape and takes care of herself.

She doesn't look bad-- she may not look like most women, but she is in show business, so must stay thin and fit somehow-- at least she doesn't look starved!! I'm glad to see her muscular and toned!

I used to like her when she first started on Regis. Now I find her incredibly obnoxious. I think she looks scary. Plus, I hate those electrolux commercials that make her look like she does everything herself without anyone's help...yeah right.

I think she looks amazing. She's got a really incredible body for someone who has had three kids and I don't believe she is anorexic. She is very thin but has muscle content and her face looks really pretty as opposed to gaunt and lifeless. I personally like her. She seems sweet, funny, and real. Plus she likes working out and manages to do that as well as raise a family. She's awesome.

damn she's ripped .. for her age, wow! I don't think she's had a tummy tuck, she's been working out forever .. always had that tomboyish body
6 years
She's definitely had a tummy tuck. I've also had three kids and I'm several inches taller than her at 5'11". I feel like my tummy looks pretty good considering, but it can never look that perfect w/o surgery. There is no way you have 3 kids at her height and no sign of pregnancy. I admire her body, though, except her lack of boobs.

Anonymous 23 -- that's not skinny? You can see her sternum! I don't know if she's anorexic, but regardless of how she got to that size, I don't think it's very attractive.

her body is too ripped for my liking and to anonymous what make you think that women on here are overweight?i know i'm not and i do work out everyday,everybody is entitled to their opinions without being bashed like that.not everybody has to like her body.
6 years
What a lot of jealous women! Anorexic? Not with THOSE muscles! And that is NOT skinny -- the women on here have been overweight so long they've forgotten what it's like to not have fat on them. It's also laziness -- women here would rather eat and sit around bitching about women who work out, rather than take care of themselves.

Wow looking at her body and knowing the amount of time it takes to get there wow I'm tired for her.

I like Kelly , but she is way too skinny. She has no shape to her body at all. She looked better when she was a little bit heavier..
6 years
Not attractive, but she does have a lot of muscle def so looks like lots of weight training and strict diet. My sister had a body like hers, developed muscle very easily and was stick thin. but as she's gotten older she's relaxed about things and looks much better, less severe like ripa. btw, my husband thinks this look is very unattractive...

Ripa is ripped (cheesy, I know :P), but a little too ripped for my likening.

There is no way she can have an eating disorder and have that much muscle definition, it is impossible people. She is not anorexic she just works out ALOT
sushi09 6 years
Just because someone happens to be very skinny and muscular does not mean a) they are anorexic or b) have an "unsexy" body...my mother is 53 years old and looks exactly the same and wears a double zero. She exercises every single day and eats very healthy, but eats alot and definitely enjoys good food. Every body is different and this just happens to be a naturally tiny person who gets very muscular when she exercises. Good for her!

Caithness is the most Northery mainland county of the British Isles and is home to the World famous John o' Groats. Often referred to as the Lowlands beyond the Highlands it is a county of stunning lanscapes. From spectacular sunsets to the amazing Northern Lights and its big skies with very little light pollution make it a star gazing hotspot. Vast empty beaches and beautiful flow country offer plenty of wildlife opportunities from whales, seals, deer and a vast range of birdlife including the much loved puffins. Caithness also has a plentiful supply of historic sites including castles, brochs, churches, cairns and standing stones.
Canisbay is a small village 3 miles west of John O' Groats. The croft set back 400 metres from the road and enjoys complete privacy for a peaceful and tranquil holiday. Surrounded by fields and with a view of the Pentland Firth it is a great base to explore the best of what Caithness has to offer.
John O'Groats
The village itself has a Post Office and a shop. At the harbour you will find gift shops, a coffee shops and the famous John O' Groats sign to have your photo taken to prove you were at the end of the road!
There is also a passenger ferry to Orkney to experience the highlights Orkney has to offer and Wildlife tours around the island of Stroma. Alternatively you can hop aboard the Natural Explorer a jet RIB which offers Wildlife tours around the deserted island of Stroma to see the amazing wildlife or for those seeking more adventure a white-water experience.
Caithness has many beautiful and more often than not deserted beaches.
At the end of the drive and across the field you can access the rocky beach which has a small waterfall and is the point to look out for sea otters and porpoise .
You will also see seals here and at the lay-by near the ferry especially when the tide is out and it's a great location for messing about in the rock pools. For sandy beaches here are just a few suggestions:
Sannick Beach
Four miles from the holiday cottage, this is a beautiful beach where often the water is tropical looking even if the weather isn't!!
Freswick Beach
Four miles, another small but lovely beach sandy at one end and rocky around Freswick Castle.
Sinclair Bay
Eight miles from the holiday cottage. Voted one of the top-ten beaches in the world by the Guardian in 2007.
Dunnet Beach
Ten miles. Sandy beach stretching for two miles with dunes with the Seadrift visitor centre and toilets.
Village shops can be found in John O' Groats and Mey. A slightly larger shop is found at Castletown, ten miles from the holiday cottage.
Wick and Thurso, the county's two towns both have several supermarkets and many local shops.
The holiday cottage also falls into a Tesco home delivery service area.
Leisure Activities
Golf Courses
Can be found at Wick, Thurso, Lybster and the most northerly golf course on the mainland is found at Reay, ten miles west of Thurso.

Mary Ann's Cottage
Located in Dunnet this is a real slice of croft living. This historic croft has been left exactly as it was when the owner Mary-Ann Calder left in 1990. Stepping into this croft you can completely imagine what life would have been like in the holiday cottage years ago.

Sean Penn is dating Charlize Theron, gives up guns for the actress who is against firearms
Published on Jan 23, 2014 5:39 PM
Los Angeles - Actor Sean Penn has given up guns for South African beauty Charlize Theron, and they are dating, CNN talk host Piers Morgan revealed.
In a column for the Daily Mail's Event magazine published last Saturday, Morgan recalled how Penn publicly declared that he got his guns melted down and turned into a sculpture, thanks to Theron's influence.
Morgan said he was at a Jan 10 gala for Penn's Help Haiti Home charity, where Penn said in a speech: "I'm a self-proclaimed Alpha male who owns 67 firearms. But I've had my mind changed about guns by a strong woman, a beautiful South African woman. I don't need these cowardly instruments of violence and destruction, none of us do."
In his column, Morgan said Theron has been against guns since "her mother shot her drunken abusive father dead, after he came home firing his own gun and threatening to kill them" when she was 15.

For those of you who are already in the know, how cool is this?
For those of you who don't know what the hell I'm talking about, allow me to clarify. TJR friend and With Leather Managing Supervisor Brandon Stroud is making a movie. More specifically, he wrote a movie and it's being produced by Greenless Studios which is a non-profit arts service organization. They're the folks responsible for the film Summer League which had Brandon in a duck costume and a trailer with a bunch of pretty girls in it.
If you're wondering why this is relevant to a wrestling blog and/or don't read article headlines, I'm getting to that. The movie has cast Dustin Runnels (aka Goldust aka the son of the son of a plumber aka brother to Cody Rhodes who has my heart) in a supporting role, thus making it totally appropriate to talk about on a wrestling blog.
Here's the thing; the movie is currently raising funds (so they can buy stuff like cameras and blood and what not) and you can contribute, which is awesome if you like giving money to nice people to make movies that will entertain you. You can donate however much you like, but if you throw twenty-five bucks or more their way, you get rad gifts that you can flaunt in front of your friends that were jerks and paid zero dollars. They range from a DVD copy of the film all the way to a producing credit, which will get your name on IMDB and by extension tons of tail.
So go over to their website by clicking here and toss them some of your scratch, and you can even check out a teaser trailer for the film. If you're like me and find the combination of folksy indie tunes, innocuous movie titles, and bloody tree branches unsettling. It's that exact same combination that made Let Me In so freaking creepy. Even if you can only give less than the $25 gift amount, it would still be appreciated and I can assure you that Brandon will love you forever and be your friend.
So be one of the cool kids and go give money to the arts. Come on, don't you want to be cool?
Chris Masters will be appearing on "Good Morning America" this morning (or already did, if you're a lazy bones) to casually talk about the weather, his fondness for tank tops, and how he RIPPED A GODDAMN TREE OUT OF IT'S ROOTS TO SAVE HIS MOTHER FROM A BURNING BUILDING. You know, usual hero stuff. (Wrestle Zone)
WWE has named David Kreizman officially as their new head writer. Kreizman has been working with the company for a while, and his former credits include a lengthy run on the daytime soap opera "All My Children", so get ready for some evil twin stories. I'm looking at you Kane. Again. (Lords Of Pain)
TNA announced that from now on all of their X-Division matches will now be 3-man matches, which is probably something that won't get old at all. (Rajah)
