Do You Like Getting Catalogs?
What's Your Opinion of Home Décor Catalogs?

Like us on Facebook
I can devour endless servings of home décor eye candy, though I'm partial to shelter mags. When it comes to catalogs from home retailers, I'd rather just shop online.
I find it so much easier to search the retailers' websites or ShopStyle. Plus, as someone who is very eco-minded, I hate to waste paper, and some catalog lists I've been on seem to send a new issue every two weeks! How about you?

Personally I strive to make my home look like something that's NOT out of a catalog. While I have nothing against Pottery Barn, Crate & Barrel, etc. there are tons of knock-offs out there, and I don't think it shows much taste, creativity, talent, etc. to make your house look like something out of these catalogs. To me when someone has a "catalog" looking home it's not impressive- but I know a lot of people love them and use as guidelines/inspiration for their home and while I may admire a piece here and there I am not looking to recreate a catalog look in my home.

An Account of Meditate NYC
[The following is a guest post from Jolie Gorchov that I was supposed to put up last week! Sorry. If your organization is mentioned here but not linked, and you would like to have it linked, please let us know - Phil]
A recent panel discussion in BuddhaDharma about The Future of Buddhism focused on "convert" western Buddhists without mentioning Asian Buddhists. This has kicked off a firestorm of web chatter about oppression and "Wonderbread" (western) Buddhists vs. Asian Buddhists.
In light of this debate that's made its way to blogs such as Dharma Folk, The Worst Horse, Shambhala Sun Space and the Tricycle Editor's Blog, I wanted to counter with a recent afternoon in New York that was spent with all sorts of different Buddhist teachers, speakers, and sects.
On Sunday, November 9, the Buddhist Council of New York presented its second annual Meditate NYC event. Meditate NYC is a free week-long event aimed mostly at newcomers to meditation, and people who are interested in Buddhism. The Meditate NYC kick-off offered a wide-ranging program with speakers from America, Japan, Korea, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, and Tibet.
The afternoon event opened at the Church of St. Paul & St. Andrew on the Upper West Side of Manhattan with the traditional Tibetan ringing of 108 bells. The event's emcees, Roshi Pat Enkyo O'Hara, abbot of Village Zendo and Michele Laporte of Shambhala Center sat on stage as the Buddhist Council's former President, Reverend T.K. Nakagaki of New York Buddhist Church opened the program and welcomed attendees. Each speaker following gave about a 20-minute offering.
Kicking off the afternoon of speakers and performers was legendary Buddhist beat poet John Giorno, who performed three poems, including Thanks for Nothing, a work celebrating his 70th birthday. The poem profanely thanked a wide-ranging list of teachers in his life, including his "depression problem," his "stupid grasping mind," and "countless lovers." Venerable Yifa of Buddha Light Monastery, then spoke about the ripple effects of all our actions. Josh Korda, of DharmaPunx NYC, went to the heart of Buddhist teaching with the importance of the precepts. Master Sifu Teasely's senior student Liz Connelly demonstrated Tai Chi movement while Sifu played a drum. Clark Strand, an author and former Zen Buddhist monk who is currently exploring the links between Christianity and Buddhism, spoke about "Green Meditation" (as in Eco-green.) Roshi Enkyo told a story from the Lotus Sutra about children playing inside a burning house. Myo Ji Sunim, abbot of Chogye Sa Temple, went directly to the notion of Buddhist emptiness: "Who hears? Who sees?" Judy Seicho Fleischman, of Buddhist Peace Fellowship, talked about engaged Buddhism. Stan Grier performed a short ceremony paying homage to spiritual ancestors in many traditions, and presented Qi Gong—it was nice to get up and move for awhile! Reverend Wisdom of Middle Way Meditation Center, and Lama Pema Wangdak, of Vikramasila Foundation taught meditation and shared their own Buddhist journeys. Finally, Michele Laporte told a story about sending metta on the New York subway; on the long ride from her home in Far Rockaway to her meditation center in Chelsea, she often says to herself: "No one gets off this train without some lovingkindness!" The afternoon closed with a metta chant and offering of merit from Bhante Kondanna, abbot of the Staten Island Buddhist Vihara, and current president of the Buddhist Council of NY.
Meditate NYC hosted a separate tea room where dharma center representatives could meet attendees and share information about their centers. These centers included Bodhi Monastery, Still Mind Zendo, Chakrasambara Buddhist Center, Community of Mindfulness, New York Insight Meditation Center, Diamond Way Buddhist Center, and Manhattan Won Buddhist Temple. The Rubin Museum of Art also presented a prayer flag-making activity for children.
In the week following Meditate NYC, about 24 Dharma centers in the New York area opened their doors for free open houses, programs, and meditation instruction. The open houses gave the opportunity for attendees to sample many different teachers and traditions directly, in the hope that they would find groups to join to start a meditation practice. About 250-300 people participated in Meditate NYC. At my own meditation home, New York Insight Meditation Center, I talked to two visitors who came to Meditate NYC without much knowledge of meditation. They were both inspired to go to a few open houses and appreciated seeing such a wide range of offerings, something they felt they wouldn't have been able to do without the program. To my eyes, this open sharing of the dharma is the future of the Buddhist Community in America.
I learned from Meditate NYC that Buddhist monastics and the roots of traditional Asian Buddhism are essential for American Buddhism to not only grow but to maintain its true and clear voice. Trungpa Rinpoche liked to tell the story of his teacher packing him off to teach the "savages" in the West. He found he did have to hone the teachings to appeal to Americans, particularly to address our attachment to ego, our mistrust of authority (including teachers and gurus), and our aversion to dana (generosity.) These traits continue to bedevil the American Buddhist experience, and we need all the help we can get to work with them without diluting the teachings.
The Buddhist Council of New York was formed over 20 years ago to foster dialogue, cooperation and unity within the Buddhist community in the New York area. As a western delegate to the Buddhist Council (and as one of the organizers for Meditate NYC) I've seen at close hand the various issues facing Buddhists groups today, no matter whether they are convert, immigrant, Asian, traditional, people of color, queer, or youth-oriented sanghas. These issues cover everything from addressing dwindling finances, to helping practitioners become more socially engaged, to including children in our practices, to supporting monks in Burma, to creating more diversity within our sanghas, and beyond. Through conscious adherence to Buddhist precepts and teachings, the Council is working to address these issues with compassion, wisdom and a grounded levity. An important mission of the Council is to create programs that brings Buddhists together. The Buddhist Council wanted to reflect all of this at Meditate NYC.
This was the second year that the Buddhist Council of NY presented Meditate NYC. Supporting organizations were The Church of St. Paul & St. Andrew, Tricycle: The Buddhist Review, and NY Insight Meditation Center. Next year's Meditate NYC event will be in October, 2009. Visit MeditateNYC.org for more info.

I was one of the bloggers who wrote about the Buddhadharma article. I'm glad to learn there there is more happening "on the ground" to bridge the various divides within the larger American Buddhist community than meets the eye. I just wish the mainline Buddhist press did a better job of doing the same (although I'm aware of the recent article on the Soka Gakka in Tricycle).
A beautiful post. I'm Jiryu, another organizer of this year's Meditate NYC, and I want to add a point about recruiting people to Buddhism.
The Buddhist Council struggled with the question of recruiting
as we planned the event. Some councilmembers said "This seems like proselytizing and Buddhists don't proselytize." (If any readers can point me to chapter and verse on why Buddhists don't proselytize, please tell me!) One member said, "People whose karma is connected to Buddhism will be led to it, and we shouldn't interfere with that process."
Some thought that we were focusing too much on marketing, or said that it'd be "un-Buddhist" to count the number of visitors, because we shouldn't be attached to attainment.
My own opinion is that Western Buddhists can be too precious about the ongoing founding of Buddhism here. It's going to take some advertising, some persuasion. When I take the Bodhisattva vows, I promise to save all sentient beings. That will require setting goals and measuring results.
Besides: sharply rising rents in NYC over the last decade have forced
many sanghas, particularly the small convert sanghas, to give up their permanent homes and meet in borrowed rooms. We felt that gaining new Buddhists wouldn't just help people transform themselves, but also sustain the sanghas by helping them pay rent.
Where does this fit into the Asian versus convert Buddhism controversy? Meditate NYC was a joint effort of all kinds of Buddhists here, to benefit all kinds of Buddhists, and all kinds of people. The sangha in NYC is normally quite divided: the Tibetans don't know about the Zennists don't know about the Chinese don't know about Soka Gakkai. But through the Buddhist Council we are starting to understand each other and cooperate, for everyone's sake.

The world and his wife have gone crazy for Beyoncé's bump: when she announced her pregnancy last week at the MTV awards, clad in an orange dress revealing an unmistakeable curve of taut belly, the volume of people commenting on Twitter broke all records.
It was indeed hard not to feel a vicarious surge of pleasure: a freshly minted soul is always to be welcomed, and Beyoncé is one of those rare celebrities whom most people – men and women – seem to like. She has an unusual degree of talent and level-headedness, and can perform the improbable task of conducting an extended bottom-wiggle in tiny hot pants while somehow retaining an aura of dignity. If her declaration that "I want you to feel the love that's growing inside of me" was a tad over-the-top, let's just put that down to pregnancy hormones.
One thing is certain, however: we will be seeing a lot more of Beyoncé's bump. Once, a first pregnancy was a chance to put your slightly swollen feet up. Now, it's a parade. Gossip magazines are glued to celebrities and their bumps, a trend that started years ago with a ground-breaking picture of a nude, expectant Demi Moore on the cover of Vanity Fair, and has expanded apace ever since. Extra points are awarded if the weight gain stays firmly on the bump and doesn't make a breakaway bid for the chin or the ankles. Few details are spared: we even saw pictures last week of the former Spice Girl Mel B, in the throes of contractions, being helped into an LA hospital to deliver her baby girl. Hours later, she gamely tweeted the good news.
It doesn't even end with the birth. These days, celebrity mothers are on a strict countdown to the point at which they are supposed to have "snapped back into shape": it's generally about four weeks, although some supermodels do it faster. Meanwhile, back in the real world, the exhausted new mother spends long hours rocking her baby to sleep in the pram and singing lullabies in a dull monotone, only seven pounds or so lighter than when she was actually pregnant, while eating a large slice of Victoria sponge and wearing a pair of oversized grey pyjamas.
None the less, some of the glamour of celebrity pregnancy is trickling down. Several companies now organise "bump party" packages in your home, a twist on the American "baby shower", at which selected guests pay homage with presents and cupcakes. You can buy T-shirts that say: "My lovely baby bump!" The only reason I can think of for wearing one of those, apart from advertising a rampant case of bump-smuggery, is that it might get you a seat on the Tube from people who'd otherwise think you were just a bit fat.
All this is, in some ways, better than the situation 40 years ago, when pregnant women were wrapped in hideous maternity smocks and a vague air of embarrassment. But in those days, it was routine for middle-class women to get married and have babies in their early twenties. Today, pregnancy is so often delayed – whether by choice or circumstance – that it often has the feeling of a hard-won feat, that should be festooned with public honours (which are, in part, brandished at those who haven't yet made it to conception).
It's a fine line, however, between celebration and pressure: to have the cutest pregnancy, the neatest bump, the best birth, the shortest back-in-shape time, the most slavishly devoted partner. Those are the myths regularly fluttering from the celebrity carousel. Yet I doubt very much that they hold true for the famous, either.
When, earlier this year, I wrote about birth being "feral and unpredictable", I was chastised by one advocate of natural birth for "frightening" other women (other mothers said they welcomed the honesty). The point she missed was that I didn't mean it in a bad way: it is simply that there is a primal, animalistic and miraculous element to birth that cannot easily be controlled. The shock of an extreme physical experience merges with a rush of joy; for most women it really shouldn't matter how they appear to others on the day – and over the weeks that follow – but only how they feel and cope. So congratulations, Beyoncé – but don't be afraid to sit back and let the world Twitter on without you.
Give us a shot of that Russian spirit
Hooray for Valentine Simatchenko, who was photographed at the Notting Hill Carnival, neatly sticking out his leg to trip up a fleeing man with a knife after the stabbing of a 20-year-old student. It was a brave gesture, since the suspect was carrying a knife – yet as Mr Simatchenko's son, Yuri, said: "He didn't think he had done anything special."
It was not, perhaps, special to Mr Simatchenko, whose complicated history includes a stint as a St Petersburg policeman and combat in Chechnya. It would, however, be special to most members of the British public, who have dutifully absorbed the lesson that it's better to let an angry maniac escape than risk being attacked yourself.
This might be sensible, but it has a tendency to make us all feel mildly ashamed. I can remember, some years ago, being shown round the basement floor of a London sofa shop by a nice young assistant who was diligently explaining the various models. Suddenly, a burly older man stormed in and began beating the daylights out of him.
I went upstairs and informed the other staff – rather urgently – that their colleague was being turned into a human punchbag: they explained to me that "procedure" demanded that they stay well away, although they did call the police. That left me to go back downstairs and yell somewhat fruitlessly at the assailant myself. At such times, one rather wishes that Simatchenko's spirit was more widely distributed.
Spuds: they like to keep bad company
For years now, the potato has had a bad press, so much so that the phrase "couch potato" is now synonymous with lumpen slobs who never get off the sofa. This has been especially difficult for those of us from Northern Ireland, who grew up thinking of the spud as God's own staple, which made an appearance – in one of its numerous forms – at every meal.
Last week, the potato was briefly shuffled off the dieter's banned list and into reputation rehab, with suggestions that it is the new "superfood". Researchers found that eating a portion twice a day can lower blood pressure, without any extra weight gain, since potatoes fill you up so efficiently.
Then came the bad news: the version that delivered the healthiest results was microwaved potato, served plain. What kind of abomination is that? The joy of the spud is that it scrubs up well, once dressed in butter, cheese or sour cream, fried in oil, or heavily doused in salt and vinegar. It's a food that begs for adornments. It might be virtuous on its own, but it likes to keep bad company – and I'm afraid, even speaking as a fan, that's the only way I want it.

Winter Toubkal 19 Feb 2010
Anyone else going on this trip?
Great to hear from someone else on the trip. I'm going with my brother Geoff. We've done a bit of hiking in the past but I think this is going to be a totally new experience. Did you get a chance to try walking in crampons in Wales? I've hiring crampons so I'm relying on them being delivered to the hotel we're staying at which I'm hoping will be fine but I'd be happier if I had them in my hands before I left!
We did much easier hike in the Atlas mountains a couple of years ago and I did the Inca Trail so I've experinced that sort of altitude at least but the snow, ice and temperature make it much more challenging I think. How about you two? Any experience of this sort of thing?
Wow, it sounds like you guys are much more experienced than us. This should be a breeze for you two!
Can't wait to find out who the 3rd couple are now.
We're on the AT801 flight out of Heathrow at 17:10, maybe we could meet up if we're on the same flight?
Hi Ben
Just joined the members forum.
I will be on the Toubkal trip 19/2 together with my partner, Andy.
We went up to North Wales last weekend for a bit of practise. It was suitably snowy !
Really looking forward to this trip.
Done anything like this before?
Hi Ben
Andy and I did get some crampon practise in at Wales. Its only the third time I've used them but they give you a great feeling of security !! Andy and I have both done Kilimanjaro at seperate times. Apart from that I only have experience of Ben Nevis, Snowdon, Scafell and the likes. Andy, on the other hand has climbed the Matterhorn, the Eiger, the Monch and a Himalayan peak. We are both doing Toubkal as a run up to Aconcagua next Jan.
I've found out that there are six of us in total on this trek so we should make a good team.
I'm sure we are on the same flight so meeting up would be great. We will be easy to spot; mid-forties, holding hands and grinning like Cheshire cats!

There's no point voting on this ... we're not going back to the old forum. We can only hope someone listens to what is being said in the New Bike Forums Technical Issues thread and fixes some stuff.
But I'd also be interested in hearing about all the great new features in this software ... it would be nice if someone would "sell" it to us.
I don't really care for the new format. I will get accustomed to it.
This site is FREE for me to view, so I feel that I have no right to complain.

Tom and the rest of the IB crew; if I don't get a good explanation of WHY this new format was necessary and why you think it is better to look at than the old one, I'm outta here. I sent IB a $100 check after they took over the site and that's on top of the money I sent Joe. No Titanium club for me, though. And now this. Great. Just great.
We aren't going back, sorry, and it's for some pretty valid technical reasons. We simply couldn't continue to use the v3.X iterations of vBulletin. We do plan on offering skin options, and even IPhone options and other microdevice options as soon as we have this working right. We're using the default skin for now until we have gotten through the update and release cycle because it simplifies applying patches, and we want to also think out the other style releases for maximum compatibility of code between the styles for simplicity of maintenance, at which point we will start looking at these other skin options for all of you.
I can tell you that the Ihone/Microscreen skin is on the horizon for 2010, as soon as we can allocate the resources to develop it. The current IPhone compatible skins are not compliant with vB4 code.

More than 500 spectators circled the runway at the Canad Inn Polo Park Sunday night for an evening of fashion that showcased not only top Winnipeg clothiers but top Manitoba models poised to break into international markets.
Panache Model & Talent agency introduced its 2003 Faces West Team -- 25 young women and five men who will head to Vancouver later this month to attend the 2003 Faces West International Model & Talent Convention.
The models, ages 13 to 25, will have the opportunity to meet representatives of leading agencies from around the world. This is the same convention that launched the international careers of many top Panache models who have gone on to work in New York, Paris, London and other capitals of the fashion world.
An Evening with Panache also brought to the runway the Winnipeg agency's New Faces Division -- models who are just starting their professional careers.
Fashions modelled during the Faces West fundraising gala ran the gamut from barely-there bikinis to full-length evening gowns.
A group runway competition featured pieces from award-winning Canadian designer Simon Chang and Chestnut Lanes Boutique. Retailers represented included 8180, Girl Candy, Le Chateau, Peepers, Ragazzi, Scerbo Tuxedos and Winnipeg Outfitters.

Can Tech Ruin the Kim Pham Murder Trial?

I lived in dry storage for another six months, taking showers in the clubhouse and keeping all the shades drawn so that no one knew I was there. I was still eating a lot of ramen noodles and riding in the golf cart, though I just couldn't seem to get myself to empty out the ashtray that held Larry's old cigarette butts.
My new boss, Stella, didn't really have a problem with me living in the yard, but she wanted me to start thinking about living elsewhere because of "liability concerns." Things weren't the same without Larry. So I moved into a three-bedroom house with Ezee and three other guys. That lasted about four months. After being awakened at 7 a.m. by salsa music every weekend, sharing one bathroom among four guys—one of whom lived in our garage—who love Mexican food, watching roaches scurrying over the dirty dishes when I turned on the kitchen light, finding food-caked silverware under the couch pillows and coming home to find all the furniture on the porch and 50 guys crammed into the living room and watching a live strip show, I moved out. I rented a room from my friend Freddy in his new condo in Aliso Viejo.
I began writing—music and sports, mostly—for OC Weekly. I found another accounting job in a little office in Irvine, and I gave notice at Bayside Village. I thought trailer parks were behind me. I had been living with Freddy for about a year when Patti, my ex-boss, told me about a possible opening at a trailer park on Balboa Peninsula.
"It's right on the beach," she said. "The residents are mostly part-time, and the park is much smaller than Bayside Village—and you get your own coach to live in."
I jumped at the chance to live alone and rent-free. The park manager, Vinnie, was a friend of Stella's so I was hired almost straight away.
I didn't know there was a trailer park on the Peninsula, since Marinapark is tucked behind a city parking lot along the bay and mostly hidden by a fence. I got my own pad—a 30-year-old double-wide trailer—and my own driveway, a luxury on the Peninsula. Though the city owns the land, leasing it to trailer owners for between $800 and $1,200 per month, it hired a management company to run its property. That's who I worked for.
Actually, I worked for Vinnie, an old-school, 62-year-old Italian from Queens. Vinnie once worked as a longshoreman and used to tell me how the mob forced him to hand over a percentage of his pay every week; his intermediary, he said, was a Catholic nun. Why would he pay? I asked. Because of Lonny, he said—who refused to pay and was fished out of the East River, his body laid on the docks so that everybody could get a look before he was taken away on a board with a sheet over him. He claimed the story was true, and I wondered if he was telling me this to impress me or to give me his views on labor relations.
Vinnie was happy to have someone around who could do a little maintenance and landscaping and wasn't afraid of dirty work, like cleaning the public restrooms and showers. He'd just been through two assistants; the last, whom Vinnie referred to as the Rag, had made the mistake of considering herself a resident rather than an employee. When it looked as though the city might not extend the land lease, forcing all residents to remove their trailers within 60 days, the Rag took it upon herself to attend a City Council meeting to protest at the podium that the city had no right to evict her and that she, as a resident, had every right to be there. That was her last mistake.
The manager's watch is Monday through Friday, while the assistant covers weekends. My Saturday mornings would start with a scenic bayfront walk along the Marinapark boardwalk, where I'd turn on all the sprinkler valves with a long rod so that I wouldn't have to bend down and thus could sip my coffee as I went.
The part-time residents—made up mostly of affluent retirees who came in on weekends from Beverly Hills, Palm Desert and San Marino—were usually not up yet, so I had the place to myself. After my morning patrol, I'd sometimes stop back at my trailer to shave, grab a bagel or check for e-mails. Then I'd go back to the office, turn on the TV, put my feet up on my desk and prop my head against the wall—sunglasses still on so that if I dozed, no one would be the wiser. I "watched" the park entrance for nonresident invaders.
At lunch time, I'd walk across the street to the beach, usually eating at the Blue Beet Café, which had become a surrogate home.
Sometimes Vinnie would go to lunch with me, or we'd go for a coffee break in the morning, leaving a sign on the office door that said, "Out of the Park, Be Back Soon." Aside from cleaning the restrooms and watering a few plants, I watched TV or sat in front of the office catching rays and smoking cigars, waving to incoming and outgoing residents.

Smooch time!
Never ending story
Hot ^_^
I would rather be a kiss slave than running off. Besides, who doesn't enjoy two succubuses kissing you to death? I sure would, keep it up Jackurai.
If he doesn't want to be kissed by them,I could replace him anytime. XD
i wouldn't be running away
is a succubus a half human, half devil thing?
It basically is that yes, and it mostly feeds on human souls and lust, doing whatever they can to seduce humans so they can do whatever they want with them. As show in this flash, well... they just want some1 to kiss. I don't see why he would run though.
I think so?
love this.
Is there an easter egg?

Hey, I'm Brittany!
Hey there.. So I guess if you have come all the way to read about me then I should make SOME effort to indulge you :)
I am a massage therapist, working between New South Wales and Victoria, and so I am often not in my home town of Melbourne which leaves my epic little apartment up for grabs for the lucky few of you who get to use it!
Have travelled a lot, lived in France for a year, and have seen many interesting and wonderful things there is to see in this world, my favourite of which was probably flying to Munich in Germany for two nights (yep, only 46 hours in Germany all the way from Australia) to see my beloved Chelsea win the Champions League Final in 2012... ahhhhh good times :)
Having travelled like I have, I so appreciate staying in a place that feels comfortable and cosy and like a 'home away from home' where the host actually cares about the little things making your stay as good as it can be. So that's where I come in - I like to make sure that you enjoy my wonderful city, and my wonderful apartment, as much as you possibly can :)

Call this what you will -- narcissism comes to mind -- but it has little to do with the wartime leadership (during wars hot and cold) of presidents such as Franklin Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan. They expressed an unyielding commitment to one side of an ideological divide -- the side involving freedom and self-government. And they revealed metal beneath their charm, which inspired American troops and disconcerted American enemies.
Even on domestic priorities such as health care, Obama is more professorial than passionate, more explanatory than inspirational. In tragedy -- such as the Fort Hood shootings -- his public reactions can be oddly muted and medicinal. What makes Obama outraged? For what would he willingly sacrifice his popularity, his pride, his presidency?
Obama has sometimes been accused of Carter-like weakness. In temperament, the more apt historical comparison is President Woodrow Wilson. Wilson was cerebral, cold and aloof, at least in public. With admirable self-knowledge, he called himself a "vague, conjectural personality, more made up of opinions and academic prepossessions than of human traits and red corpuscles."
Elected as a progressive reformer, Wilson entered World War I with a deep, liberal reluctance. But he became a wartime leader. "Again and again," he said in 1919, "mothers who lost their sons in France have come to me and, taking my hand, have shed tears upon it not only, but they have added, 'God bless you, Mr. President!' Why, my fellow citizens, should they pray God to bless me? I advised the Congress of the United States to create the situation that led to the death of their sons. I ordered their sons overseas. I consented to their sons being put in the most difficult parts of the battle line, where death was certain. ... Why should they weep upon my hand and call down the blessings of God upon me? Because they believe that their boys died for something that vastly transcends any of the immediate and palpable objects of the war. They believe, and they rightly believe, that their sons saved the liberty of the world."
Once a decision is made on Afghanistan, Obama will need a similar transfusion of red corpuscles -- and need to make a similar case. In Afghanistan and other distant places, America's sons and daughters are saving the liberty of the world.

text: Yes, but look at the negatives. Are there any markings along the edges of the film? If they are present, then the processing was ok, and there was a mechanical problem somewhere along the way. If other films came out fine, it is quite likely that the camera was loaded incorrectly. If however there are no edge markings, something went seriously wrong during processing. I find it difficult to accept that even grossly outdated film would produce no image at all. The speed may be gone, the color balance all shot to hell, but there will be something there.

The Undertaker will put his streak on the line once again when he faces Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania XXX.
Undertaker returned to WWE at the conclusion of Monday's RAW and confronted Lesnar, who was awarded an open contract to fight anybody at WrestleMania. Brock Lesnar signed the contract first and then gave Taker the pen. Paul Heyman told The Undertaker that to sign the contract if he wants the match. Undertaker took the pen and stabbed Lesnar's hand with it, grabbed him by the throat and chokeslammed him right through the table that was set up in the ring. The crowd broke into a "holy sh*t" chant and Michael Cole said, "I take that as a yes."
WrestleMania XXX takes place on Sunday, April 6th from the Mercedes-Benz Superdome from New Orleans, Louisiana.
I actually liked the ending of raw. It was an ok set up for their feud. I also like Undertaker's new look; sort of reminds me of ministry Undertaker.
the beard and buggy eyes yep looked just like ministry taker. 22-0 and good luck not getting hurt deadman
that is just awesome
Yeah He looked like an Evil dark lord
suits his gimmick and his age :D
And so much for Sting. It truly was a now or never. Ah well.
he's debuting the night after wrestlemania when taker announce his retirement
Sting v's Taker WM31
Something big always happens the night after WrestleMania and with talks of him possibly signing soon I think we could see Sting debut the night after 'Mania to challenge the Undertaker. It could be another Rock/Cena situation.
if anybody can have a year long build and make it interesting, it would be sting and taker
Don't give up until Summerslam has passed. That's the #2 PPV.
True enough, but we don't really know what the specifics of it not happening were. Who knows what is going on. My initial instinct is he will probably end up back in TNA, though I don't know. With the WWE Network exploding and Sting being all over that, there's definitely more of a possibility of him showing up.
To be honest, I think last night would have been the perfect moment to have Taker vs Sting set up. Taker is looking pretty thin, and a bit dated, I think him and Sting could have worked a decent paced match that would have been epic. But I'll settle for Lesnar/Taker. And as some of the people posted below, there's always hope for next year or SS… Though more than likely, I can see Stinger ending up back in TNA.
Not really looking forward to 'Taker/Lesnar simply because I don't think the match will be any good.
Going to be brutal.. Will be a fight..
Unfortunately, it won't be nothing more than brawl with 'Taker probably taking an F5 and kicking out, sitting up, dodging a Lesnar attack and hitting him with the Hell's Gates or Tombstone at the end.
I feel the same way… been feeling it since it was rumored earlier in the year. It'll be a pseudo MMA brawl type match and nothing like their better matches in '02. I wish it was Taker/Cena.
I think the match will be decent… My biggest problem with it is that there is not even the slightest possibility here that they'd put Lesnar, a part-timer, over. I know that there's rarely any likelihood of Taker jobbing at WM, but it would be nice to be able to buy into the tease – even a bit.
Geeee… Didn't see that coming….
It better be a good match despite we all know the ending because WWF/E would be stupid to break the streak with a part-timer.
But, then again, this is the same company that has its heart set on Orton-Batista despite both guys getting booed out the building…
With all the guys in the lockerroom that could be put over despite a loss, they pair 'Taker with part-timer Lesner instead. Seriously, I'd rather see 'Taker/Fandango than 'Taker/Lesner.
So, at WM30, we have Lesner/Taker and Orton/Batista. Really, those two matches aren't going to sell a $60 program or $60 for six months of the network.
You didnt just say that did u lol. Taker and fandango, what the hell? No one wants to see that. If theres anyone takers got left to face is dabiel bryan, cesaro, cena, roman reigns or bray wyatt from the existing roster. Otherwise from the part timers its either The Rock or Y2J. Me personally I would love to see Y2J vs taker or bryan, bur the kid in me wouldnt mind seeing the rock pick on undertakers mickey mouse tatoos one more time lmao.
It isn't ALWAYS about putting someone over you know. Sometimes two big stars have to face each other.
You'd rather see Fandango vs Undertaker than Brock Lesnar? What?
I personally want to see Fandan-GO
I still say Ziggler is my ideal pick.
Could be a good match,and i agree they could of paired him up with someone else younger to help them get over at-least these 2 have a history.Only thing im not looking forward to is the Brock fans " he would totally win in a real fight" comments,News flash im not interested in who would win a real fight. if i did i would watch UFC
^The reason I got into wrestling
Undertaker was my first favourite wrestler… I totally loved the classic Undertaker with long hair covering his face..
Cool GIF.
This match could be the only hope for WMXXX, and because of that I'm Slowly losing hope of WMXXX
I am really not looking forward to his match. I don't think they'll be able to have a very long one, because Undertaker can't take too much of Lesnar's hard offense wihout risking injury, so I feel like the match is going to be disappoining.
You know nothing.
True. And I legitimatey hope to be proven wrong. I just don't have a good feeling about it.
I like how everyone thinks they know, what kind of shape Taker is in. You don't . Yeah he is older. Had a lot of injuries in his career. But he is experienced ,I'm sure he knows how to work his match. He pulls off a great match every year.
Again, true – I don't know what shape Taker is in, really. But they give him most of the year off to keep him healthy for Wrestlemania. That shows that they're concerned about injuries, too. Now, I don't think he'll get hurt at Mania, but I do worry that Brock Lesnar's offense will be watered down to PREVENT Taker from getting hurt.
This is going to be the worst wrestlemania in a long long time. However it wont be undertaker and lesnars fault, im sure they will put on a decent 15-20 minute match, they had an amazing fued years ago and know each other well. However it was so obvious once the crowed found out that Daniel Bryan wanted to face triple h and wouldnt be headlining wrestlemania, support for him has dropped
Taker vs Sting is more of a Summerslam match for me than a Mania match. 6-7 years ago I could see it at Mania but we've passed that stage.
Why? Because it won't be as technically sound? Just the face-off of these two huge stars that have never gone face to face (with their current characters) is Wrestlemania worthy. It's not always about the quality of the match, it's the story being told.
I think it's better fit for SummerSlam as well. Will definitely influence me to buy. At Mania, there are way too many big matches and it may get overshadowed.
What at this Wrestlemania could possibly overshadow Taker vs. Sting? This WM is shaping up to be glorified Raw show.
I agree with you to an extent, but I feel Sting/Taker would have been epic at this years WMXXX. Fact is, it wouldn't be a classic no matter what, but the atmosphere and set-up to the feud has a whole lot of potential. Heck I checked out Starcade 97 last night and Sting/Hogan was still awesome, and it was a ridiculously slow match with a botched finish. It's all about the atmosphere they created and what they did to get to that point – it was just awesome.
Sting/Taker would steal the show with that atmosphere alone, no matter what PPV they were put on. I think WMXXX would have been perfect considering all the old names that seem to be coming back for it, but Sting is a WCW guy above all else, so maybe it's best not to throw him in the mix with all the old-WWE dudes.
Here's hoping we see Taker/Sting some day. Would be pretty epic.
What match can you possibly think of that is likely to occur at next year's Wrestlemania that could possibly overshadow The Undertaker vs. Sting???
I loved the ending segment! Taker's beard is reminiscent of his Ministry of Darkness days, and makes him look just that much more BADA**!
Undertaker looked in good shape his arms were toned for a man his age and he looked in good health, I reckon he has been training for Mania since Sept 2013 so a good 6-7 months of getting his game back to being Mania fresh leads me to believe him and Lesnar will definitely put on a classic.
Good another match for Brock to lose…
That's why real fights are better than fake ones
Looking forward to this.
"spot the difference" time!!!
Not much of a difference except he's older and the goatee was longer, and he had long hair.
yeah the phrase was more rhetorical………
The second that gong rang I just said to my self, please Taker, don't get hurt in this one. lol.
I rather enjoyed Taker being the one to challenge someone as opposed to the opposite. With him getting the upper hand tonight, my guess is at some point prior to WMXXX, we're going to get an epic Taker beatdown at the hands of Lesnar.
Should be a decent one. With Cena/Bray in question, Lesnar/Taker makes WMXXX somewhat intriguing. Short of that, this card is looking pretty lackluster so far.
id rather see undertaker vs. roman reigns.
what an awesome match coming
Honestly, I think it would be pretty badass if they had Bray Wyatt vs Undertaker for Wrestlemania.
I think Taker will be fine. Yeah he's wrestled his arse off for 20+ years but he has had plenty of rest these past few years with the 1 show practically a year. So with all the rest he should be fine, the night after mania, eh he'll be beat due to him busting his arse on mania.
We need Roman Reigns groomed as the next acolyte and eventually, the NEW Undertaker. Matches with the Dead Man where they both disappear at the end after the pinfall win by the Undertaker, and then Roman shows up in Undertaker like garb….
OH hell yeah!
It should have been The Undertaker vs. Daniel Bryan with Bryan to break the streak. If it can be justified that anybody breaks the streak it would be Bryan. The fans would really be split on this one. Lesnar is a part time WWE wrestler (like the Undertaker to be fair) and it would not have a good reaction if he broke the streak. This is a very predictable win for The Undertaker.
