Opponents of bill AB 2145, which they call "the Utility Monopoly Power Grab of 2014," are cheering this week after successfully weakening the bill in a Senate committee hearing on Monday.
Authored by Assemblymember, and former Southern California Edison Company executive Steven Bradford (D-Gardena), the bill, critics say, would have impeded the launch of any new not-for-profit community-based clean energy programs provided for by California's Community Choice law (AB 117), passed in 2002.
The California Senate Energy Committee rejected a key poison pill provision in the current bill, which would have forced consumers to affirmatively declare their intention to buy power from a community choice power aggregator, instead of from a so-called investor-owned-utility, such as Pacific Gas and Electric, Southern California Edison and San Diego Gas & Electric. Existing law opts residents into community choice power programs where available.
An analysis of the 2002 law, conducted in 2005 on behalf of the California Public Utilities Commission by researchers at The Goldman School of Public Policy, University of California at Berkeley, reported that consumers and communities stand to benefit from community choice, while investor-owned-utilities such as Pacific Gas and Electric, stand to lose "significant revenue."
Marin and Sonoma counties already have community choice programs in place and other counties, including Alameda County are preparing to launch, or are exploring, such programs.
Some proponents of bill AB 2145 said they were trying to protect consumers from being "crammed" into switching to an alternative electricity buyer. Critics weren't buying that argument, however.
Speaking of the removal of the poison pill provision, Ann Hancock, Executive Director of the Climate Protection Campaign (which led the effort to launch Sonoma Clean Power) said, "This David vs. Goliath victory shows that regardless of how much money the utilities spend to undermine Community Choice, they continue to fail. We suggest that they invest in making sure their customers have a safe, efficient energy distribution system instead of fighting competition and choice."
Eric Brooks, an advocate who has worked for the last ten years to launch San Francisco's Community Choice program, CleanPowerSF, said "Now California can get back to the business of meeting our clean energy objectives on schedule, so that we can dramatically lower our greenhouse gas emissions and help to more rapidly reverse the climate crisis. The fossil fuel utilities need to heed this outcome and end their incessant attacks on Community Choice."
Assemblymember Rob Bonta, who represents Oakland, Alameda and San Leandro for the 18th district voted in favor of bill AB 2145, seemingly in contradiction to his otherwise progressive bonafides.
Corrine Van Hook, communications and outreach manager for Bay Localize, an Oakland-based advocacy group opposed to the bill, told me that opponents are pushing to meet with Bonta to question his support.
Staffers from Bonta's office had not responded by a deadline today to answer questions about his vote.
Despite Monday's victory, opponents of AB 2145 say that the bill still contains onerous anti-competitive provisions that unfairly hamstring community choice programs by placing restrictions on them that are not required of the big investor-owned-utilities. For example, a new amendment to the bill would drastically limit the geographic size of community choice programs, when the monopolies have no such size restrictions.
Opponents are following the progress of the bill as it approaches the Senate Environmental Quality committee and will push for the removal of the remaining anti-competitive language.

My husband made a version of this casserole for me on our first date. Over the 11 years we've been married, we've made several changes to the ingredients and now it's even better than the original. —Lisa DeMarsh, Mount Solon, Virginia
- 3 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
- 4 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 1/2 cup butter, cubed
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 cans (12 ounces each) evaporated milk
- 2-1/2 cups (10 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- 1/2 cup crushed cornbread-flavored crackers (about 6 crackers)
- Cook macaroni according to package directions, adding broccoli during the last 3-4 minutes; drain.
- In a large saucepan, melt butter. Stir in the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper and salt until smooth; gradually stir in evaporated milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in 2 cups cheese.
- Place half of the macaroni and broccoli in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Top with half of the cheese sauce. Repeat layers. Sprinkle with cracker crumbs and remaining cheese.

The federal criminalization of cannabis, a policy initiated in 1937 with the passage of the Marihuana Tax Act and one that continues today due to the plant's schedule I prohibited classification under the US Controlled Substances Act of 1970, has done nothing to curb pot's availability nationwide. So concedes the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in its 2013 National Drug Threat Assessment Summary, released this month. The report summarizes information provided to the DEA by more than 1,300 state and local law enforcement agencies.
Despite more than 75 years of federal prohibition, "Marijuana is the most widely available and commonly abused illicit drug in the United States," the nation's top anti-drug agency admits. "According to the 2013 NDTS, 88.2 percent of responding agencies reported that marijuana availability was high in their jurisdictions." (By comparison, only ten percent of agencies surveyed reported high levels of availability of MDMA.)
As if the plant's high level of availability in nearly 90 percent of more than 1,300 responding jurisdictions wasn't enough of an indictment of the prohibition's failure to curb drug demand and supply, the DEA also acknowledged that it expects the public to have even greater access to pot in the near future. "Marijuana availability appears to be increasing," the agency acknowledges, citing increasing domestic plant production and rising public demand for pot. The average potency of THC in the plant is also increasing, admits the agency, rising from 8 percent in 2009 to nearly 12 percent in 2011.
Looking toward the future, the DEA admits that present trends are likely to continue unabated. "[C]riminal groups will increasingly exploit the opportunities for marijuana cultivation and trafficking," the DEA concludes, alleging (rather inexplicably) that the increasing number of states allowing for legal, state-licensed cannabis production and sales will provide greater opportunities for illegal pot production. (Self evidently, the DEA still continues to believe that all marijuana-related activity, including activity that is state sanctioned, is inherently criminal.) It adds, "Marijuana abuse levels will increase over the next decade, particularly if its use continues to be increasingly accepted by adolescents."
The DEA's full summary is available online here: National Drug Threat Assessment Summary
Notably, the report acknowledges that similar increases in illicit drug demand and availability are occurring for virtually all controlled substances, despite decades of drug war enforcement. "The availability of heroin continued to increase in 2012," the agency states. As for methamphetamine, "[P]rices decreased more than 70 percent between the third quarter of 2007 and the second quarter of 2012," the DEA acknowledged. "[D]uring that time methamphetamine purity increased almost 130 percent." The agency also admits that in recent years there has been an increase in the availability of synthetic designer drugs, so-called bath salts, and in the production of selective cannabinoid agonists (aka 'synthetic pot').
In other words, the DEA hasn't just admittedly lost the battle on pot; they've lost the war. When will a majority of those in Washington, DC admit likewise?

SMU will take on New Mexico State April 17 in Waco
March 31, 2014
WACO, Texas (SMU) - The SMU equestrian team received the program's seventh NCEA Championship berth on Monday, as the 10th-seeded Mustangs drew seventh-seeded New Mexico State in the first round, a matchup that will take place at the Extraco Events Center in Waco, Texas, on April 17.
The two programs split their two meetings this season, with SMU winning the opener 10-9 at BuckBranch Farm, before the Aggies took the February meeting 11-7 in Las Cruces, N.M.
Earlier this month, freshman Sylvia de Toledo was named to the NCEA All-America Second Team for equitation over fences, while her sophomore teammate Schaefer Raposa earned a spot on the honorable mention squad.
This year's championships are the first to see the top 12 teams with both Western and Hunt Seat combined invited to compete. The 2013-14 campaign is SMU's first season with a Western squad.
The winner of the Mustangs and Aggies will take on second-seeded and defending Western champion Oklahoma State in the quarterfinals.

"Two and a Half Men" is a great comedy show. This show stars Jon Cryer and Charlie Sheen. Charlie plays a character that shares his name and Jon plays Alan.Angus T Jones plays Jake the son of Jon Cryer whom they are raising. It is known for keeping fans laughing every time they watch. Here are my top 10 favorite funny quotes from this CBS show from 2011 and earlier.
1. Charlie: "Jake. What do men have that women don't?"
Jake: "Beards."
Charlie: "No. Lower"
Jake: (in a lower voice tone) "Beards."
2. Charlie: "Drugs! Get me drugs!"
Alan: "No. Medication will only mask the pain."
Charlie: "Fine, mask it! Give it a cape and let it fight crime, I don't give a damn!"
3. Charlie: "I'll admit you're kookie Judith. But compared to our mother you're like a fart in a hurricane."
4. Alan: "I'm in trouble here, Charlie. How do I get out of a stagnant, joyless relationship?"
Charlie: "If I knew how to do that, you wouldn't still be living here."
5. Alan: "How do I look?"
Charlie: (without looking up) "Incredible. All men want to be you; all women want to be with you."
Alan: "Could you at least look at me before you answer?"
Charlie: (after he looked up) "I stand corrected. All men want to be with you."
6. Charlie: "Just so we're clear, my car is cherry, so if you bang it, ding it, dent it, or even change the ass print in the seat, just keep driving till you get to Mexico, then bury yourself in the desert."
7. Alan: "What kind of man chooses sex with an insatiably hot stranger over quality time with his little boy?"
Charlie: "Oh! I don't know the kind of man who's been married for twelve years and had sex twelve times?"
8. Alan: "Charlie, if you do what I think you're going to do, I swear I will never speak to you again."
Charlie: "Really? Then by all means tell me exactly what you think I'm going to do."
9. Alan: "I was singing."
Jake: "You weren't singing."
Alan: "Who are you, Simon Cowell?"
10. Alan: "Charlie, if you do what I think you're going to do, I swear I will never speak to you again."
Charlie: "Really? Then by all means tell me exactly what you think I'm going to do."
This show is just not the same now that Charlie Sheen is gone and Ashton Kutcher is on the show. It used to be a great show but now it is time to see it go. "Two and a Half Men" is hilarious though and you can always check out the repeat on television.

Jan. 17, 2006
Los Angeles - UCLA freshmen Brandon Crawford, Ryan Babineau and Tim Murphy have been named among the top-50 freshmen collegiate baseball players for the 2006 season by Baseball America. The three players are part of UCLA's 2006 recruiting class that was selected fifth in the nation by the publication last year.
Crawford, a 6-2 infielder from Pleasanton, Calif., was tabbed the No. 24 freshman in the nation by Baseball America. Crawford was a three-year letterwinner at Foothill HS, and was listed by the San Francisco Chronicle as the sixth-best high school prospect in Northern California. He was also rated the 200th overall top prospect (College and High School) in the 2005 MLB draft by Baseball America. Crawford batted a combined .357 with 23 doubles, five triples, nine home runs, with 51 RBI in a three-year varsity career.
Babineau is a 6-2 catcher from Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., and was selected as the No. 29 freshman in the nation by the publication. Babineau was a four-year letterwinner at Etiwanda HS, and was drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 13th round of the 2005 MLB Draft. He was named a high school All-American and National Defensive Player of the Year, and hit .412 with five home runs and a .706 slugging percentage as a senior. Babineau also set school records for games played, at-bats, home runs, doubles, and the single-season school record for batting average (.436).
Murphy, a 6-2 outfielder and left-handed pitcher from Vista, Calif., was selected as the No. 39 freshman in the nation. Murphy was drafted in the 11th round by the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in the 2005 MLB Draft out of Rancho Buena Vista HS. The three-year letterwinner was a three-time All-Avocado League selection, and an All-CIF San Diego Section honoree. As a senior, Murphy hit .443 with five home runs and 25 stolen bases.
UCLA will open the 2006 season on Friday, Feb. 3 at 6 p.m. against Fresno State at Jackie Robinson Stadium.

I loved this recipe! It was very easy. All the ingredients where fairly basic. It was very fast to make! It tastes great! All the ingredients went very well together. I am totally going to save this recipe!
Chinese Braised Mushrooms & Tofu
From EatingWell: March/April 2009
Ma Po Tofu, a classic dish from the Sichuan province of China, inspired this recipe. The original is made with soft tofu and ground pork or beef with plenty of heat from dried chile peppers and Sichuan peppercorns. Portobello mushrooms stand in for the meat in our vegetarian version and convenient jarred chile-garlic sauce gives it plenty of kick. Serve with brown rice.

Absolutely delicious~~I like to eat healthy but flavorful food and this dish definitely hit all the marks. I didn't have any sherry so I omitted it, cut the corn starch to 1tsp and at the end I added some bok choy for crunch and color. This is def a keeper, Thank you!
Very good! We didn't have the sherry on hand, and substituted another hot sauce for the chili garlic sauce. Still came out excellent and was very easy to make. I (accidently) also purchased diced water chestnuts which cut down on the chopping a little. Next time I'd like to try adding some veggies - - - maybe broccoli or snow peas!
Just finished making this and it turned out really great! I had to substituted some of the ingredients but over all it came out very good. Instead of all purpose flour I used whole grain and it worked well. I also served it with some quinoa that i prepared like fried rice-- it had peas, carrots, corn, egg whites, and slices of turkey. Yummy! :)
Delicious! I couldn't find chile garlic sauce in my neighborhood, but with the garlic & fresh ginger it still has plenty of flavor. I halved the recipe for two, but still had leftovers, which my meat-loving husband ate for lunch the next day. Used Amy's mushroom soup for a thicker sauce. I have trouble finding vegetarian recipes that my husband will eat, so I'll definitely make this again.

Dear Editor,
In regards to Adele Zimmermann's July 8 letter: It is sad to have someone who obviously has little grasp of either modern or medieval history lecture us on a parallel between them for clearly political reasons. First, let's deal with modern history.
My name is Carleen Mahoney Huff. I grew up in Los Alamos, along with the person I am trying to help out below, Gerald Paul Weeks.
Jerry was a graduate of LAHS in the year of 1980. He even was a police officer for our home town for awhile. Now, Jerry is serving as a medic over in Afghanistan and is asking for help:
Hello from Afghanistan. I miss you all very much. I am doing well but wish I was home with you ya'll.
The recent editorial "Our View: Think Local" correctly advocates focusing on local companies rather than seeking companies that might relocate to Los Alamos.
Summer is for kids outside. The reality, however, is that for most of the year, most kids are inside, and much of that time is spent inside schools. It is within these walls, taught by committed teachers, that the future is formed.
So what does being in school have to do with the environment?
A police officer dumps a paralyzed man from his wheelchair because he could not stand up to be searched. A pedestrian is hit by a car and lies bleeding in the street while people merely glance at him as they hurry past. A woman collapses onto the floor of an emergency room as onlookers ignore her and security personnel look at her and walk away. She is finally kicked by a nurse to check her level of consciousness.
Unlike Mr. Chandler, I don't hold Tom Udall's passive "no" vote on the Appropriations Committee's pass on the bill containing LANL budget cuts in high regard. If Udall had been actively working and lobbying his fellow committee members on behalf of the lab, there might have been a different story. Both Pete Domenici and Steve Pearce know the value of being aggressive in one's home committee when it comes to taking care of constituents. A passive "no" vote after the damage is done just doesn't cut it.
My name is Ashvini Vaidya. I am 10 years old. I am writing this letter to you because every day when my father goes to work, he always has to pick up at least four pieces of trash. So, I suggest that people in Los Alamos start cleaning and picking up the litter. It's safe for the environment and for us! So, if you could put an article in the paper about pollution, the environment, recycling and trash, I truly think our county can be a lot cleaner than it is now.

One does not usually pay much attention to the absurdity of the health system until the insurance stops covering the bills. Some time ago, the company I work for switched to a less-inclusive health insurance plan because the increasing costs of the original coverage. As a result, a 50-minute visit to the LAMC emergency room with a sprained ankle last month cost us more than $900.
The picture on page 2 in the July 2 paper shows the problem with traffic around the Diamond construction. A while back, there was discussion and a council vote on how the signal at Diamond and Arkansas should be run. The winning vote, that each direction on Diamond should have a dedicated left turn and that only one direction should go at a time, was to give people easier access to the businesses on Arkansas. The side effect of this, of course, is that traffic on Diamond is slowed down horribly.

The Guru of 3D wanted to get in on the Kyro II scene, so here's their take on the Hercules 3D Prophet 4500 Video Card. Is it any good yet? here's a snip:
"The one disappointment back then was the fact that this card was not very fast, at least not fast enough to beat the competition. Manufacurer STMicroelectronics clearly noticed the loss that is called 3dfx and they put the development of their products in the 5th gear. A few months later I get a press release from STMicroelectronics. Kyro-II was born, and this little baby is powering up the 3D Prophet 4500."

Butterfly Baby Shower (22 photos)

One of my favorite client parties was a baby shower I put together for little Sloane. I love it when clients trust me enough to give me simple direction…in this case…minimal pink and not too frilly…and then give me the rights to let my imagination run wild and create something fun for them. I wanted to create something soft and dainty with a little vintage mixed in. The tables had mix and match table settings, ruffled table runners that I made with Basic Grey Fabrics, birdcages, and other fun details like striped straws, mason jars, and peonies. I had a gorgeous table top display created, then I hung hand appliqued onesies with butterflies and the baby's first initial on them. The desserts were a fabulous assortment of petit fours, eclairs, chocolate covered strawberries and other delicacies made by Sandy of English Rose Teas. It was a gorgeous and totally personalized day!

A Baltimore police officer turned himself in on Wednesday and was charged with animal cruelty and abuse after allegedly killing his girlfriend's puppy, a 7-month-old Jack Russell Terrier. As reported by The Washington Post on March 5, Alec Eugene Taylor, 27, a five-year veteran of the city police force, is said to have beaten the dog with a mop and then choked him to death.
After defecating on the floor of the Silver Spring home, the scared puppy hid behind the clothes dryer to escape its assailant's wrath. According to a February 26 text that he sent to his girlfriend, Taylor subdued and retrieved Rocko with the mop, then dumped the body in a dumpster after choking him, because he was tired of cleaning up after the dog's accidents in the home. In a further taunt, he also sent her a photo of the deceased pup.
The girlfriend later buried the dog in a nearby park, where Animal Services retrieved it to perform a necropsy. The puppy's injuries were found to be consistent with Taylor's actions, which resulted in him being charged with aggravated animal cruelty and abuse or neglect of an animal.
Taylor has been suspended without pay after turning himself in on Wednesday.

The Virginia State Capitol
This was the first public building in the New World to be built in the Classical Revival style. In continuous use since 1788, it ranks as the second oldest state Capitol in the United States. During the Civil War it served as the Capitol of the Confederacy... but being a Yankee Doll, I am not shy about telling where I stand on THAT issue (note the flag). And remember, I was there!

Emma's First T-Ball Game
Monday, April 06, 2009
Oh the joys of being a grandmother! Miss Emma, my granddaughter that will turn 5 on May 25th, had her first T-Ball game today. My precious little girl in a uniform ----- her long blonde ponytail sticking out of the back of her hat!
They arrived at the field about the same time I did and she spied me immediately. She came running up to me with her little pink bat and ball glove. "Oh Gigi, I'm going to play ball today and I am going to pay attention and not play in the sand." "Where is BopBop"? I told her that he was still at the bank, but would be coming as soon as he could." She was satisfied with the answer.
We walked together around the field and she entered to join her team mates. I almost cried. My baby is growing up so fast.
They did a little pre game warm up and before I knew it, she had the largest cheering section of any child there --- 2 grandmothers, 2 grandfathers, 1 step-grandmother, 1 step-grandfather, her mother and father, her baby sister, 1 aunt, 1 uncle and his girl friend, 1 great-aunt, a cousin, and a couple that are family friends. She was so proud, she grinned from ear to ear. "Where is BopBop?" she yell to me. I began to worry because I was afraid she would leave the field when he arrived.
I saw him when he arrived, and I looked to see if she saw him. She didn't. He came in, sat beside me and we started talking. Someone told us to look, and there she was at the fence grinning and waving to all.
The game started, and she was on second base. Within 10 minutes she was sitting in the grass picking flowers with not a care in the world. The ball game went on. She got up for a little while, but then began playing in the sand. The ball game continued.
Her team's time to come in to bat came and all the kids came running off the field ---- not Emma. She was in her nature exploring mode and one of the other kids ran out to get her. They trotted off the field together.
Her team mates began to bat. I was amazed at how well some of them did. I looked in the dugout and she was sitting on the ground at the fence grinning at us ------ no care in the world. And finally ------- Emma's time at bat.
She pranced up grinning and waving to all of us. The coach helped her line up with the "T" to hit. She swung and the ball went out to the pitcher. He scrambled for the ball and Emma stood there. We all yelled --- "Run Emma" ----- and she took off. She didn't make it, but didn't seem to worry.
They returned to the field and she continued with her activities ---- standing by the base, playing in the sand, and looking every where except the game. In a little while she stood up and starting walking off the field. (It wasn't time.) Her mother walked to the fence to see what was wrong.------Nothing, she was just coming in to get ready for her next bat. (It was not her time, she just liked batting.) Nicole talked her into going back on the field. We played in the sand again, and looked for bugs in the grass-- while the game continued.
They came in again and progressed down the roster. Emma's time again. She went up to the plate, line up, reared back and knocked the tar out of the ball. We all went crazy. "Run Emma" She took off and made it! She made her way around the bases as the others hit and when she made it to home plate, she stomped and just stood there. I don't think she was ready for it to be over ---- she was enjoying her moment in the "lime light". The coach had to run up and get her to move before she got knocked over.
The game went on and she walked off the field a second time. Her mother went to the fence. " Emma's finished and ready to home." She coaxed her into staying.
At the end of the game, both teams lined up. They walked past each other "high-five-ing." She had played her first game. It was hard work for all of us.
What a wonderful day. We were all so proud!

Let the anticlimactic Carmageddon be an inspiration
A couple of months ago, I arranged a trip for my son to visit some family friends in Colorado. It was his first trip on an airplane by himself, so there was a lot of anxiety for both of us. Soon after his ticket was booked, talk about Carmageddon began — it was to be the worst traffic nightmare that apparently Southern California had ever seen, and my anxiety level went through the roof. Because my son was supposed to return to California on Saturday during the Carmageddon crisis, I made alternate plans to avoid the traffic by booking a hotel room for Friday and Saturday nights with a plan to leave early Sunday morning.
I headed down to Los Angeles early that weekend, leaving on Friday morning to watch a trial and then head to the hotel to do some work. Once I got there, I started watching Sig Alerts for traffic. Early afternoon traffic was fine.
Early evening traffic was also running smoothly. Later in the evening once the 405 was shut down, the crisis was supposed to be in full swing, but didn't materialize. Perhaps in the morning, the traffic nightmare would begin. But I was wrong. Apparently, everyone was wrong. For both Saturday and Sunday, Carmargeddon was just the boogey man of local highways.
Given that it took nearly three hours to get home the weekend before last via Highway 1, it was easy to believe that with a major section of highway shut down, traffic would be a disaster. But, evidently, thanks to the media saturation and word of mouth, people apparently listened and stayed off the freeways. For those who had to be on the road, it was quite the sight — getting around with ease throughout L.A. and around the region.
Now that the anticlimactic Carmageddon has come and gone, there may be a great lesson to be learned in all of this — that there is power in all of us working individually, yet together, to ease discomfort and frustration.
Over the years, we have become increasingly apathetic about making the world a better place. Many feel helpless, even hopeless at times, about whether things will ever change, so they don't try. Others just don't seem to care as long as they have their creature comforts. Our voices are muted when it comes to great injustices, from the wars in the Middle East to rising gas prices earlier this year and the bipartisan fighting over raising the national debt ceiling that could leave our country in financial jeopardy if the proposal is rejected. (The blatant hypocrisy over the debt ceiling reveals itself in the fact Congress and its GOP leaders raised the debt limit 19 times by nearly $4 trillion under the George W. Bush administration.) We choose ignorance and channel surfing over questioning the powers that be as the income disparity grows, the rich getting richer, the poor getting poorer and the middle class disappearing. Where have the strong, vibrant voices and protests of the 1960s gone?
Unfortunately, unless each one of us will be affected on a personal, individual basis, it appears we don't want to change our routines, to stir the muck, make a difference. But for those who feel powerless in general, let Carmageddon, or the lack thereof, prove what can be done if we just put our minds to it — there is much power in numbers. We can all agree, traffic is a pretty irritating situation in life and should be avoided, if possible, but it pales in comparison to the havoc being wreaked in politics and the disappointing and cumbersome future we are setting up for our children. If we can work together to prevent one major disaster from happening, we can certainly do it again to instill change and improve our lives.

Ann Griffiths collection (18th-20th C.)
Welsh poet and hymn-writer, Ann Griffiths (1776-1805) lived most of her life on a farm called Dolwar Fach in the parish of Llanfihangel-yng-Ngwynfa (Mid-Wales). Although she died aged only 29 years, she left poems and letters that are considered among the highlights of Welsh religious literature. Her surviving works consist of just eight letters and 70 stanzas, reflecting an outstanding literary talent, articulating deep religious experiences. Saunders Lewis described her longest poem, Rhyfedd, rhyfedd gan angylion, as 'one of the majestic songs in the religious poetry of Europe.'
The collection includes all published editions of her works from the 19th-20th century, and all secondary publications discussing her work. Of special importance are the memoirs of John Hughes of Pontrobert and Morris Davies. John Hughes (1775-1854) was an influential Calvinist Methodist preacher who became a spiritual mentor and counsellor to Ann Griffiths soon after her conversion. His short memoir of Ann, published some forty years after her death, is regarded as the single most important source for her life and character. Another key text is a slim volume entitled Casgliad o Hymnau [A Collection of Hymns], printed in Bala in early 1806, which contains a large number of Ann's stanzas together with the work of other hymn-writers. Many of these stanzas appear to have been edited and rearranged; there are significant differences, in wording and organisation, from the way in which they appear in the copy-books of John Hughes, where they were first recorded. The original Hughes copy-books are now held at the National Library of Wales, but the Cardiff's collection includes a copy of Gwaith Ann Griffiths [The Work of Ann Griffiths], edited by O. M. Edwards and published in 1905, which contains Hughes' manuscript versions.
Date range: 19th-20th century.
Significance: Significant in Wales and the United Kingdom.
Size: c. 100 items.
Languages: Welsh, English.
Keywords: Ann Griffiths (1776-1805), Welsh poetry, Christian hymns, Wales
Notes: An associated dedicated Ann Griffiths website, ed. by Prof. Wyn James, includes extensive articles discussing her life and work, plus a complete set of digitised versions of the complete library holdings above, plus the only manuscripts of hers to have survived (now held in the National Library of Wales).

By Cal Athletics on Fri, March 14, 2014 Related Links Live Scoring @CalMensGolf Complete Release Kilpatrick Feature TUCSON, Ariz. – Cal has jumped out to a 13-stroke lead after firing a 20-under par round of 268 as a team in the opening round of the National Invitational Tournament on Friday. Host Arizona (281, -7) and Oklahoma State (282, -6) are second and third after 18 holes at the par-72, 7,200-yard Catalina Course at the Omni Tucson National Resort. Brandon Hagy (64, -8) leads teammate and second-place Michael Weaver (67, -5) by three strokes at the end of the first round, while Joël Stalter (68, -4) is a shot behind Weaver tied for third with four others. Keelan Kilpatrick (69, -3) is tied for eighth and James Yoon (70, -2) tied for 12th to round out the Bears. Shotaro Ban (76, +4) is playing as an individual and tied for 63rd. "I played solid all the way around," Hagy said about a round that tied for his lowest of the year and second-lowest of his career. "I hit a lot of good wedge shots and putted great from there." The Golden Bears are playing for the first time since finishing eighth at the prestigious Southern Highlands Collegiate Masters last Friday-Sunday, ending a string of 37 consecutive top-five finishes dating back to the beginning of the 2011-12 campaign. Cal won 23 of 33 stroke-play events during that stretch with the other four events top-five finishes in match play. "What a difference a week makes," head coach Steve Desimone said. "A week ago today we played our worst round in a decade, especially on the front nine. Today, we got started beautifully and we just kept making putts, hitting good shots and playing the game the way it's supposed to be played. I don't know if we could have played any better." The 54-hole NIT continues with 18 holes scheduled for both Saturday and Sunday beginning at 8 a.m. PDT/MST. Yoon will be the first of five Cal players off the first tee Saturday at 9:30 a.m. PDT/MST. Pairings and specific tee times for the final round Sunday will be announced following second-round action.

Shotaro Ban 76 (+4)*Playing as an individual NOTES► Cal is looking for its sixth win in its first nine events in 2013-14 and 24th over its last 35 stroke-play events overall since the beginning of the 2011-12 season. ► Cal is playing at the National Invitational Tournament for the first time since 2010 when the Golden Bears finished fifth, while Michael Weaver is the lone Cal player to have previously participated in the event tying for 24th as a true freshman that season. ► Brandon Hagy's round of 64 equaled his lowest of the season and tied for the second-lowest of his career behind only a 62 he fired at the Alister MacKenzie Invitational he won in the fall of 2012. Hagy had a round-high nine birdies and one bogey. He birdied all four of the courses' par-fives (2, 8, 10, 15) as well as five par-fours (5, 6, 11, 14, 16). His bogey came on the par-four 13th. ► Weaver had seven birdies (6, 8, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15) including Cal's lone birdie of the round on a par-three hole (12), as well as two bogeys both on par-fours (5, 13). ► Joël Stalter's up-and-down round included eight birdies (2, 3, 6, 8, 9, 10, 14, 18) and four bogeys (5, 7, 12, 15). ► Keelan Kilpatrick twice had back-to-back birdies among his five overall (2, 3, 9, 10, 11) along with two bogeys (7, 15). ► James Yoon started with two consecutive birdies on the first two holes and added three others (6, 8, 10) for a total of five, while registering three bogeys (7, 9, 18) in his second tournament of the season. ► Playing as an individual Shotaro Ban started with a double bogey on the first hole and dropped to four-over par after back-to-back bogeys on six and seven before playing his final 11 holes in even par with birdies on eight and 15, and bogeys on 12 and 13. ADDITIONAL QUOTES► Head Coach Steve Desimone"We did a lot of things right. This was probably our best putting round since the fall. We put ourselves in good positions and we were able to finish." "We had an excellent practice round yesterday, and it's no coincidence we played as well as we did today. All in all, we really just continued our momentum from the last two and a half rounds last week at Southern Highlands." "The conditions were great. The wind kicked up a little bit to 10-15 miles per hour, but really it was basically 5-10 and it was nice and warm. You couldn't really ask for much better conditions to play golf in and we took advantage of them." "Brandon Hagy has been playing great since the first nine holes at Southern Highlands. He had a dominating practice round yesterday and just kept right on going today. He hit it well, made some short putts for par and obviously had an awful lot of birdies. He played like one of the top players in the country today, which is pretty much where he's been all year." "Let's not forget we have 36 holes to go, and we have a great Oklahoma State team that we've been jockeying with for position to be second or third in the country all year behind us. We've split with them so far this year. We beat them in the fall, they beat us last week. We've got a nice lead but there are 36 holes to go and I expect it to be a real shootout before we're done. I like our position. I like our chances, but we've got to keep it going." ► Brandon Hagy"It was a nice bounce-back round for the team and pretty impressive play. We need to continue that into tomorrow." ► Joël Stalter"Today was a great round for the team. It was nice to bounce back after Vegas, and it's nice to see some red scores on the leaderboard. Hopefully we can keep this going for the next two days." ► Keelan Kilpatrick"We are really happy with our performance today. After last week, we really wanted to put some low numbers on the board just to show everyone we're not going away. It's always a good day when you drop a 70, so a couple more days like today and we'll be back in the winners' circle." "I'm feeling very comfortable with my game right now. I had a couple of blemishes in the middle of the back nine but apart from that it was a successful day all around." ► James Yoon"The team played great with a lot of birdies and a nice bounce back from last week. I hope we can keep the momentum going for the next two rounds."

Abstract painter Katie Pretti's latest exhibition at Neubacher Shor Contemporary is a beautifully expressive meditation on the feeling of being in transit. Her large canvases capture the confusion and displacement Pretti feels as she travels endlessly from place to place, with no opportunity to feel completely at home. The organic line and soft, swirling brushwork project a ghostly, roaming presence, leading the eye, like Pretti, to travel around and around each piece, never permitted to rest or unwind.

In the press release, Pretti says she feels like a ghost. "Being in transit can have that effect of a person," Pretti writes. "A Tibetan might call it a bardo, a place between death and birth. Sometimes people don't even know they're dead and they keep walking around, enacting their daily routines, but they have no body. They no longer have any real connection to what they still believe is their life."

I'm a monster
Walking these streets
Crawling these walls
Whatever it takes to get to you
It all starts and ends with you
Sometimes you hurt me but it's true
Don't want to love you but I do
I'm a monster
You touch me deep inside
Monster, monster from you I cannot hide
I'm a monster
No need to fear me
Crawl into my cave with me
Don't let this time go wasted
And I'm burning
Burning hard, burning real
Doing anything to feel
Something's gonna break before I'm done
Doing damage sounds like fun
Let's go out, let's go get some

Fried Bee Hoon with Stewed Pork
Get this recipe on the next page >>
Update (Jan 2014): First posted in Feb 2009, now updated with new photos and improved recipe
This one-dish meal brings back fond memory of my childhood. I used to wolf down several plates in a day whenever my mum cooked this dish! This homely dish has a bit of everything – carbs, vegetables and meat making it a balanced one-dish meal. Commonly known as "bee hoon" (米粉) in Singapore, rice vermicelli are thin noodles made from rice.

It is also known as bihun, rice noodles or rice sticks. It keeps pretty well for a few hours without becoming soggy, hence I usually cook more for two meals. You can also keep it warm in the rice cooker throughout the day.

Hi, your receipe is great. Many thanks for sharing. For ready made fried shallots, which brand do u use? where to buy? Thanks :)
Hi teresa, no special brand to recommend, I buy them randomly. If you wish to make your own fried shallots, check out this recipe: http://www.noobcook.com/fried-shallots-shallot-oil/
Thank you so much for the recipe! My husband loves it a lot on my first attempt! : D
My dad loves this dish too but normally we will add 2 cans of pig trotters and lots of Cai Xin.
Thank you for leaving this easy-to-cook recipe ! It is my most favorite dish ever:):) Reminds me very much of my granny's home cooked meals . Thanks ! Tastes delicious !
Fantastic! First attempt passed with flying colours ! I especially like the part where you desperately cook the gravy and beehoon. That way you can ensure the desired even texture and taste! What I'veseen others do is dunk everything together and fry, leaving some parts tastier than others. :)

After Effects has this little things called expressions. You may have seen them in our tutorials. You may also fear it like the Chupacabra, but the fact is, they are here and they are real as are the goat eaters.
The majority of expressions I use are simple equations, so simple they can hardly be called equations. However they can be very powerful as well with a little bit of knowledge.
Check this site out for a great overview and very good solid information:
And for some more practical examples check out Dan Ebberts newly designed site:
Be sure to click on the design center.
For now, I have to go check on the live stock :=
QUESTION: Are the expressions in the online tutorials easy to follow and understand? At the very least is everybody comfortable with pick whipping of other parameters and linking them to others through expressions?
oh yeah, by the way i'm from indonesia, nice to see you :D
PS. im from Denmark so my english is noot so good :D
if i don't understand i just go backward and listen again.
i'd ask u something , Will Videocopilot launch a "A.K's work Fans" Contest ? :D
1st place = News on the blog with his video shown
2nd place = A Video Copilot T-Shirt
3rd Place = 10 Guitar Lessons with Andrew Kramer !
Could Be Fun ;)
You know, you could as well have said it scares us like La Llorona ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Llorona )...
July 15th, 2007 at 1:32 am
Greymachina has a very good training DVD - Andrew tipped me off actually about him. : ) Check it out!
can you give me more information about this DVD.
chew per(silent r sound) car(silent r) bra i guess
or chew peh cah bra
And the expressions in the tutorial are easy to understand and follow.
But as it said on one of the pages listed above: Stay away from expressions if you can. =)
beware, if the chupacabra spots you, it will ask you to write an expression of his choice, if you mess up well..... Just don't mess up. Andrew save us!!!
I read the links you posted and they were very helpful. I'll go back and watch some earlier tutorials where you lost me in the expressions and I expect to get it much better. I would love for YOU to do a video tutorial about expressions because you are such an outstanding teacher and you understand that your audience is a visually oriented crowd. The written tutorials take much more time to understand so a video tut would be great!
i personally love the wiggle expression, but would like to see more
just on another note, andrew do you like the band Journey, Midnight train is a great song
on the blog page is decreasing extremely...
Some tutorials have over 300...the new blogs
have 100 or less..
make a tutorial on how to make somone look like an alien using only tools in after effects mayby, but then use expressions to make somthing awesome happen, like, he morphs into the shape of a dog or somthing?
They claim it's canine, but it looks like a feral cat. Feral Vampire Cats With Mange - B Grade movie extravaganza!
Of course given that they're frequently malnourished, they don't appear to be terribly formidable.
I wonder why you chose to ref a Chupacabra? I wasted my Sunday morning, damn you mythological creatures! DAMN YOU!
I love the wiggle expression (when you mix it with some text and add a glow to it, results can be amazing :o). Also pickwhipping is one heck of a useful technique. If I want to see more expressions? YEAAAAH!!! :P
the language too create them yourself is almost like the language in "Matlap" (very powerfull modelling and programming software) and that is alot tougher. but very logical :)
It can safe you alot of time when knowing how to work with expression.
Seriously, I would like to see more of them, because they are very powerful. Expressions that you've used till now were easy to understand. I would like to quote a wise man at this point: "Let's take it a step further." -Andrew Kramer.
Thanks for the links and keep up the great work!
thanks for the links
That Andrew is one aggresive dude. He's like the HULK and Zack Morris(Saved By the Bell) rolled into one with a hint of Jon Stewart. ;)
Expressions are especially cool for realistic movement which would be next to impossible to animate by using keyframes. ( well , not "impossible" but quite time consuming )
Clip bellow uses wobble expression shamlessly ripped from motionscript.
(Also using Riot Gear and Designer Sound FX -> my first ever clip with sound , heh )
http://www2.vladik1.com :8080/next.mov
I wish there was more tutorials and sites like motionscript.
your tutorials are very easy to understand and easy to follow, so keep on giving expressions...
thank, This is my first work
and yes I would like to learn more using expressions.. (but I don't really care about a paper puppet..)
they're not difficult to me, but I gotta say that being an engineer helps a lot :) With the expression I did something similar to a "film-gets-out-of-the-gate" kinda thing.
See ya!
i have checked out the link you gave out, i can see they got some good stuff to know about...
if truely expression can enhance my job, then i think i will go for it,
andrew i think we need more encouragement on using or adopting the act of using expression in our animation
But is would really like it if you could make a tutorial about: How to make a clock as in "24".
chapacabras is cool! please explain more about him
i like this expressions.
it gives a kind of reality .
you are so simple in explaining hard subjects of expressions
awesome clip =)
Thanks Andrew. You rock man! =)
Well, I love the expressions and I always wanted to know about them because of the Math behind. But after a long time, I still was "afraid" of simple expressions. Since some months ago I understand almost all of the AE exp. I see (I have got a big difficult with looping like for())
The expressions you show here are simple but who is starting can have some difficult to understand. Example: the 3D Stroke With No Plug-in.
Of course now with MotionScript.com updated and the good JJ Gifford resource, this powerful "tool" in After Effects is no longer secret to anyone.
Warm Regards
Thanks Andrew
are good to know.
start = end;
For example, lets say you want to animate the exterior of a house wall falling apart like a cardboard box. Lets say you wanted to show off floor planes or a nuke went off and knocked the wall down. Forget hand animation. You can use expression on a Y axis and connect it to a Null Object or a expression control and you can now Animate all the walls pushing up on the same access through the null instead of doing it 4-8 times on your layers. Takes about 1 minute. It doesn't seem useful but hand animation takes time, learning expression basically is like adding an extra processor to your toolbox.
Expressions are good in all areas.
Expression is kinda, hit and run: They appear in your (and others) tutorials, and then after I've played with them they run away. I just can't remember them!

La Biblioteca in Murray Hill the night we arrived. Maybe a couple shots of courage would line our stomachs for the weekend that lay ahead.
La Biblioteca is a gorgeous hidden gem, worth seeking out the next time you're in the city. A basement bar with over 400 tequilas and surprisingly good Asian-Latin food. I say surprisingly because I wanted to believe with all my heart my tiny ahi tuna taco appetizer would be flavorless claptrap, but it was the opposite: tender and sweet with a crunch and great acid green from the cilantro and a satisfying late heat. I wanted 3 more.
I'd heard of this place from an Internet search on tequila, then promptly saw the bar featured on some throwaway food show the following week. Kismet. We sought it out – hoping to quench our thirsts, but more than that, hoping to find my latest version of Cibola, the Holy Grail, the Fountain of Youth: Don Alvaro Anejo. I'd sipped this nectar for the first time years ago on Christmas Eve in Cancun (destination wedding), and immediately fell in love with its grassiness, its smooth airy quality, its late hint of jalapeno pepper.
La Biblioteca didn't have that one, but their way-knowledgeable sommelier of tequila Courtenay Greenleaf led us through a full tasting of anejos, reposados, and blancos from every region. Siete Leguas most closely resembled my beloved Alvaro with its grassy herbalness and semi-sweet finish. But no jalapenos here. No bother – with hundreds to try, it was best to keep looking. Riazul ("Blue River") was sweet – as sweet as taffy, or caramel, or vanilla crème brulee sprinkled with sugar. Definitely one to choose for dessert. Cabrito, the blanco with the goat on the label, was presented as a peasant tequila, a top quality blanco for sure, but one you could find in any bodega in Mexico. The Two Buck Chuck of tequila. It tasted of spun sugar, meringue, and marshmellow but not marshmellow. Something lighter, whiter, and not as sweet. An airy-ness that descended into a pure agave finish of loveliness. Hubby and Courtenay looked at me like I was nuts when I mentioned meringue, but this lover of sweets kept coming back to it. El Tesoro Reposado was so light and pure and smooth it was barely tequila. Perfect for a beginner just getting used to what real agave is supposed to taste like.
My favorite of the night? Siete Leguas because it tasted most like my beloved Don Alvaro Anejo. But that Cabrito a very close second. We entered as lovers of anejo (a good entry point for any beginner), and left more knowledgeable, a little tipsy, with a newfound appreciation for blanco. Yes Virginia there is a blanco that can be sipped. Yes a blanco does exist that won't give you tequila face. It's called Cabrito. Try it sometime.
Kudos to Courtenay Greenleaf for the lessons and the generosity of her time and conversation. She's the "librarian" at La Biblioteca – so called because you can purchase any bottle then "check it out" with your library card each time you visit. Great idea! *Wishing they did this in Cville.* This prompted visions of a parallel life, one where I worked in Midtown then stopped into the library for cocktails with friends before heading home. Sigh...
And my search for Don Alvaro? Never fear for I have the best hubby there is! On a recent business trip to San Diego he braved a trip to Tijuana and found some. I'm the luckiest girl in the world. Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone!

The chairlifts are ready, the temperature is cold enough and the calendar almost says December. Only the moisture is missing as Mount Hood gets off to a skimpy start to the 2013-14 skiing season.
Timberline Lodge started daily operation last Friday, running Magic Mile, Pucci, Bruno's and Palmer chairlifts.
Mount Hood Meadows had a "preview weekend" with limited terrain, limited snow and discounted prices. The area reopens at 9 a.m. Friday with three or four chairs scheduled to operate.
Mount Hood Skibowl opened its tubing hill at 10 a.m. this morning and will be open through Sunday.
Although the winter forecast is for average snow, there's relatively little on the ground now as a cold and dry weather weather pattern has had a grip on the Northwest for more than a week.
Timberline reported 21 inches on Tuesday, while Mount Hood Meadows reported 18 inches and Skibowl 1 to 7 inches.
Here's a look at Mount Hood's big three ski areas for the winter:
Mt. Hood Skibowl — The tubing hill at Skibowl East will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. today, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday
"With the cold temperatures and low humidity, we've been able to make more than five feet of snow," said Hans Wipper, a Mount Hood Skibowl spokesman.
The opening includes the tube hill conveyor lift, indoor play structure, 800-foot-long zipline and the Multorpor Lodge featuring a cafe, bar and grill.
Cosmic tubing with its lights and lasers starts for the season from 6 to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. A hundred neon, four-person tubes have been added to the fleet, increasing hill capacity by a third.
At Skibowl, the parking lot rope tow is being replaced with a 220-foot conveyor lift to improve the experience for new skiers and riders.
Also new is a fiber optic upgrade and a snow groomer.
Wipper said internet service to the Skibowl west base area has been improved with high-speed lines.
There will be a WiFi hotspot in the Wiwnu Wash Tribal Cultural Center so guests can stay connected. Improved ticket scanning and increased speed for sales processing is another benefit.
The new groomer is designed specifically to groom terrain parks.
Wipper also said the slopes received "an extensive buzz cut" this summer.
"A special brush-cutting tractor trimmed all the lower slopes, while our crews hand-cut the upper steeper runs," he said. "Loose rocks were removed. With the improved snow-making system, Skibowl can open on the least amount of snow of any area on Mount Hood."
Improvements made to the Log Road will help open the Outback terrain earlier.
A federal grant paid to install an electric vehicle charging station. The station provides a 240-volt trickle charge and a 480-volt quick charge. The trickle charge takes three to six hours depending on the vehicle, while the quick charge needs 20 to 30 minutes.
The station is not yet operational.
Mount Hood Meadows — Plans call for running Ballroom Carpet, Buttercup and Daisy from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday through Sunday. Cascade Express also will run, conditions permitting.
Chairlift tickets will cost $39 this weekend.
Summer improvements included allocating more terrain for training, stepped up trail maintenance on the lower mountain and an ice melt project on the Sun Deck.
The resort is switching four acres formerly used by terrain parks to training, particularly for beginners transitioning to the intermediate level. The terrain, serviced by Easy Rider chair, will be family friendly for parents to take young children to advance their skills.
Trail maintenance included cutting brush on more than 20 acres of Hood River Meadows runs.
The brush removal should allow for earlier opening and more consistent grooming. The terrain includes Forest Park and Park Place, two of Meadows' most popular terrain parks.
An emphasis on stump removal on six kilometers of cross-country trails should allow the Nordic Center to require less snow to open.
About a quarter of the Paradise Sun Deck's cement surface was removed to install ice melt. The deck is popular in spring, but heavy snow in the heart of the winter limits use, even on sunny days.
The ice melt will allow the Alpenstube Restaurant to extend sit-down service outdoors whenever the weather allows.
A new fiber optic line increased Mount Hood, Meadows bandwidth by near 20 times, allowing guest to stay connected online and with WiFi hotspots throughout the resort.
Three new grooming machines have been added and Meadows is experimenting with two high-output LED fixtures to an existing pole. The lights require 75 percent less energy and can be more dependable in extreme weather.
Season pass and day-pass pricing have been reduced and the "peak pricing" model introduced last season is eliminated. The resort has introduced a "family day pass" allowing an adult to buy to two junior (age 7-14) for $19 each with the purchase of an adult day pass for $74.
Timberline Lodge — Timberline opened its lower chairlifts in mid-November, closed them most of last week, then reopened on Friday.
Palmer, Bruno's, Pucci and Magic Mile operate daily, although terrain is limited on Magic Mile.
Timberline is encouraging skiers to try the new Mt. Hood Express, bus service from Sandy to Government Camp, Timberline Lodge, Skibowl and other locations on Mount Hood.
"That hasn't happened in over 30 years to have a bus come up to the mountain," said Jon Tullis, a Timberline spokesman. "It took years of work to get this."
Financed with a $476,000 grant from the Federal Lands Access Program, the bus runs six times daily Mondays through Thursdays and seven times daily on Fridays through Sundays. The fare is $2 each way.
The schedule can be found online at www.clackamas.us/socialservices/mountainexpress.html.
Skibowl and Timberline Lodge have the Mt. Hood Fusion Pass, which allows skiing at both areas. Now, Pass holders become members of the Powder Alliance, Tullis said.
Members receive three free days at all other participating ski areas, plus special offers on lodging, rentals, buddy tickets and more.
There are 12 resorts in the alliance.
"It's some of the best ski resorts in the West," he said. "It's pretty cool, opens up options and hedges a little against conditions."

What's the best way to upload 200GB tar.gz files to S3 in Linux? On researching I found that S3 limit on objects has been increased to 5TB and came to know about the multi part upload mechanism to speed uploads. I found a python script boto which might help on this. Could someone shed more light on this topic?

This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
Don't upload it. Post it. http://aws.amazon.com/importexport/
Amazon offer a service where you send them portable media, and they upload the data for you, from their fast backbone.
If you're really hellbent on doing it yourself, grab a copy of S3cmd and do
Edit: If you really want to be able to chunk the file upload, I suggest you do the following.

Hope these are useful.
Split your tar.gz files into smaller chunks and track their local and remote MD5 sums. Then you can just re-upload a smaller portion should something go wrong.

Jim Ross has a new blog on his official website. Below are the highlights:
I enjoyed WWE TLC by and large. The $45 investment for approximately three hours of entertainment understandably stretches many folk's budgets. The $45 price tag for specialty PPV's is a debatable point from the feedback that I receive from many consumers. Nonetheless I am pleased that I bought the event.
Proud to see Daniel Bryan make it to the top of the card as the new, World Heavyweight Champion. Those that knock Bryan for his lack of size generally don't understand athletics especially MMA. I like that Daniel Bryan breaks the old mold, by and large, and he provides something/someone new for which the fans to emotionally invest. Bryan will be an effective fan favorite and someday, down the road, will be an outstanding wrestling villain.
People of Bryan's character and dedication always were attractive to me when I was hiring talent. It is senseless to bring 'problem children' into a locker room especially a locker room that is somewhat young and impressionable. If Daniel Bryan is able to display his considerable skills in longer than average, TV bouts I feel that he will captivate the underdog supportive fan base many who know that Daniel has paid his dues time and again. Hopefully that story will be told in a more objective fashion on television.
@ZackRyder embarked several weeks ago on a social media based campaign to get himself noticed and to leverage an opportunity on WWE TV. It worked. Through his own ambition. ability and creativity, Zack Ryder has become the United States Champion. He now has the ball that he so desperately wanted and now it's time for him to run with it. Ryder's in ring work is solid but it will be up to him to make sure that his ever growing fan base takes him seriously when the need calls for such. I am impressed with Ryder's work ethic and hope that the opportunity that he created for himself pays dividends.
Based on WWE TLC PPV and Monday's Raw from Philly, it certainly seems as if CM Punk has become the newest 'face' of WWE. No, John Cena hasn't disappeared and Cena will still face The Rock at WM28 in the longest promoted and, arguably, the biggest Wrestlemania main event ever but Punk has been positioned to be the leader of a transitioning roster of young, WWE Superstars, many of who are 'this close' to taking the much needed step to the next level.
— Nothing new on the Undertaker in response to the most asked question that we receive. I still remain steadfast that Taker will return in time to build his 'Streak' match at WM28 and I also remain of the belief that he will never see his Wrestlemania Streak broken. For the sake of covering this matter…I don't know who Undertaker's WM28 opponent will be, and if I did why would I spoil the surprise, nor do I know of any retirement plans for the Deadman. Undertaker fans need to exhale, enjoy the holidays and allow what is going to evolve with the legendary to star to evolve.
–I'd guess that Kevin Nash most likely is finished wrestling for WWE but to say that Kevin is 'finished in the business' isn't probable or for me to speculate. For a 52 year old athlete with horrific knees, I thought Nash made an excellent accounting of himself in his TLC PPV bout versus HHH.
–Yes, I personally prefer the masked Kane versus the unmasked version strictly speaking as a fan. Still get feedback from the Oliver Stone's of the mat world that swear this Kane is an entirely new guy in Kane attire. That would be inaccurate, by the way, but those so inclined should believe as they choose. I like the leaner, quicker Kane who is still a massive human being. Without question, Kane has had a WWE HOF career.
