Are you offended by what he said regarding PacMan Jones?
Do you feel he should have been given a second chance after the first racial slurred remarks?
Let me just say that I am not upset nor offended by his recent comment. That man let us all know how he felt and where he was coming from with the first slip. Honestly, those ARE his feelings, just as we (every individual) have ours whether it be right or wrong to others.
I do not feel that he should have been given a second chance to be so vocal in the media after the slip because although we have the right to our personal opinions, as a broadcasting company, I wouldn't take a chance on him (lawsuits & negative association) after the first slip. Lets be honest, some things just shouldn't be said but we are the ones who differentiate in that as well. But hey, someone out there is listening to this guy, and again, thats their own personal right since Imus is still out there.

The city of Charleston's controversial plan to impose a midnight closing time on new peninsula bars got another look on Thursday because some City Council members have had second thoughts. It was a good idea to hear from those who will be affected by the ordinance.
How can you tell? Several hundred citizens showed up at the Charleston Museum auditorium to speak on the issue, and to listen to the debate.
Which goes to show that it would have been an even better idea for City Council to have involved the interested parties at the outset, before taking its initial 12-1 vote.
Councilman Dean Riegel, who voted "no" on the proposal, argued for more input from the hospitality industry from the outset.
"They put their blood, sweat and tears, and their money, into it," Mr. Riegel said. "It simply isn't fair to attempt such a sweeping change without including them in the conversation."
Certainly the conversation was one-sided before the first vote, with council relying on city officials, including Mayor Joe Riley and Police Chief Greg Mullen, who said that the downtown area had reached a "tipping point."
There is no question that the booming bar scene along upper King Street has created new challenges for the police department, in particular.
And it has created more undesirable late-night and early-morning activity in nearby residential neighborhoods.
Indeed, residents of affected neighborhoods spoke out in favor of the new bar closing hours on Thursday.
Downtown neighborhoods have been dealing with a rising degree of activity from college students and resurgent commercial activity, particularly along King Street. Council has to heed their concerns and make accommodations for their quality of life.
But commercial interests who would be affected by the new ordinance raised legitimate questions about how it would create an uneven playing field for those who would do business on the peninsula.
The ordinance also would restrict the hours of stores with off-premises alcohol sales.
Getting a full report from the citizens is part of council's job, particularly on an issue that has created so much debate.
Only then can council be assured of making a deliberate, informed decision.
Maybe that's what will happen in this instance. Mayor Riley and other city officials said the ordinance would be revised before it comes up for a second vote.
And those changes should reflect council's more informed review of public opinion.

Change.gov Content Now Under Creative Commons License
In the last few days, President-elect Obama's transition team took a significant stride towards a more open government by licensing the content of Change.gov under a Creative Commons Attribution license. Using that license essentially means that the transition team is allowing others to freely share and remix what's posted there, provided that reposts are attributed to Change.gov. The move is a victory for the public and the many advocates for a more wired, participatory democracy.
It's also another reminder of the importance of Creative Commons, which affords creators an opportunity to opt for something less than Disney-style copyright restrictions. By embracing a CC license, the Obama team sets a valuable example for others in government, many of whom may have defaulted to "all rights reserved" without considering other options.
While Change.gov has experienced some growing pains, the transition team appears to be making a real effort to use the website as a legitimate location for its conversation with the American public. The preview post of the President-elect's planned weekly address (posted on Thanksgiving Day) includes links to multiple sources — an embedded YouTube video, a link to the same video posted to Yahoo! Video, and a high-resolution .mov file — with the Creative Commons license guaranteeing that the public can freely share, remix, comment, and report on the President-elect's statement.
The switch to Creative Commons licensing is encouraging and we hope that it is a herald of more pro-open government changes to come.

Plano ISD to vote on digital early childhood education program
Plano is set to be the latest local school district to adopt ReadyRosie, an online program aimed at getting youngsters ready for preschool.
A consent agenda item for trustees' Tuesday meeting is $57,000 for the district to purchase licenses for ReadyRosie.
The programs offers a series of short videos — in English and Spanish — that teach parents ways to engage with their children during everyday scenarios in ways that help build vocabulary, math skills and more. Parents in participating districts can subscribe to receive a new video daily.
For example, one video shows a parent using a car ride to practice counting. Another shows a parent waiting in line at the store while playing a game that teaches how to follow directions.
ReadyRosie, a small start-up based in Denton, was launched in 2012. More than dozen school districts now use the program including, Denton, Fort Worth, Arlington and Richardson.
Former teacher Emily Roden began the program — named after her oldest daughter — when she was looking for ways to teach her children with limited time as a working mother. Read more about the ReadyRosie program here.

Actor John C. Reilly brings character to concert at Miller Caves

LL1885's Year In Review: Gas Prices
A consistent theme in my Morning Links has been the price of gas. It rose above $3 and stayed there all year. In May, it hit the second highest price ever – $3.96. Next year is projected to be no different – expect it to stay over $3. Gas prices being high drove up consumer prices on durable goods, food and travel. One can research it a bit more at EIA.gov if one wishes.There are related reading links at the bottom of the post.
Here is what Gas prices looked like from January to November, 2012: Continue reading

Inaugurating an Indira Jala Prabha block at Tirumalapur Thanda in Pudur in Rangareddy district on the 3rd day of Indiramma Baata on Wednesday, he said upgradation of schools, infrastructure, health care, employment and skill development was being taken up.

Not a Needy Person Among Them
AN UNUSUAL TITLE recently caught my eye at the library. The book is called The Moral Molecule: How Trust Works, by Paul J. Zak. An economist with obvious interests in biology, psychology, and religion, Zak's numerous experiments demonstrate that when someone is shown a sign of trust or when one's empathy is engaged, a certain molecule called oxytocin surges in the brain and blood.
"When oxytocin surges," says Zak, "people behave in ways that are kinder, more generous, more cooperative, and more caring." In other words, they follow the Golden Rule of treating others as you want to be treated. Zak eventually demonstrates how oxytocin can work within economic systems, which reminded me of a children's song we sang at a church I used to attend in Chicago: "Love is like a magic penny. Hold it tight and you won't have any. Lend it, spend it, and you'll have so many they'll fall all over the floor!"
And that reminded me of research I had done on the early Jerusalem church in the book of Acts. If there ever were oxytocin surges, it must have been at Pentecost and in the days and years of the shared economic community that followed!
Two summary texts describe the common life shared among these earliest believers: Acts 2:44-47 and 4:32-37. The first tells of their daily life together, distributing possessions, worshiping in the temple, and eating a daily communal meal in various households. The second passage describes the renunciation of private ownership. Believers sold their land and homes and gave the money to the community to be distributed "as any had need" (4:35).
Why did they do this? Wasn't it impractical and more trouble than it was worth? Didn't they soon have to cope with cheaters like Ananias and Sapphira (5:1-11) or complaints from Hellenist widows (6:1-6)? Didn't that radical idealism soon peter out and people go back to their former lifestyles?
Interpreting through middle-class mirrors
My research on how these economic texts have been interpreted throughout Christian history was eye-opening. Ever since market capitalism arose in the 14th century, many commentators considered the communalism of the Jerusalem church to be unrealistic. For example, John Calvin, a 16th century community organizer, writes in his Acts commentary that he had to "properly" interpret communal sharing in 2:44 "on account of fanatical spirits who devise a koinonia of goods where all civil order is overturned." He especially criticizes the Anabaptists of the time, because "they thought there was no church unless all mens' (sic) goods were heaped up together, and everyone took therefrom as they chose." Instead, Calvin recommends that "common sharing ... must be held in check."
The rise of historical criticism during the 19th century in the West led to much skepticism about the accuracy of biblical texts. Luke wrote decades later, scholars asserted, idealizing the early church in Acts. The Jerusalem believers were very poor and had to help each other out, so Luke turns this grim picture into a Golden Age of sharing. In his 1854 commentary, Edward Zeller maintained that Acts 1 to 7 was full of legends and fictitious stories that Luke himself created.
The conservative reaction to such skepticism was to affirm the historicity of the early chapters of Acts—but to see this as a socialist experiment that soon failed and was never tried again. Its failure was confirmed by the poverty of the Jerusalem church in Acts 11:27-29, where the disciples at Antioch decided to "send relief to the believers living in Judea."
No doubt these notions about the community of goods in Acts 2 to 6 prevail in many churches today. But both perspectives get it wrong because scholars and laypersons alike read these texts out of their own economic situation—Western capitalism. For middle and upper-middle classes (from which most biblical scholars emerge), capitalism has worked well. As a political and economic system, it has staunchly opposed Marxist and other ideas of socialist communalism, often perceived as "godless."
This hostility has made it almost impossible to view the socialism of the early Jerusalem church as a positive development or one that survived more than a few years. For example, G.T. Stokes' 1903 Acts commentary in the English Expositor's Bible series declared that the Jerusalem experiment was a socio-economic disaster that should never have happened. One of the evils it produced, according to Stokes, was the conflict between the Hellenist and Hebrew widows in Acts 6:1. Stokes assumes they were destitute widows fighting over poor relief. Reflecting Victorian class distinctions and paternalistic attitudes, he asserts, "No classes are more suspicious and more quarrelsome than those who are in receipt of such assistance ... Managers of almshouses, asylums, and workhouses know this ... and ofttimes make bitter acquaintance with that evil spirit which burst forth even in the mother church of Jerusalem."
Paul's Political Manifesto
"REJOICE IN THE LORD ALWAYS." "Do not worry about anything." "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Verse fragments such as these, in the midst of a warm, fuzzy letter the Apostle Paul wrote to the house churches in Philippi, sustained me through high school and beyond. Indeed, the entire letter is saturated with joy. Philippians has been a source of great comfort to many Christians over the centuries.
It is clear that Paul had a close friendship with the believers in Philippi. A major purpose of the letter was to thank them for sending one of their own, Epaphroditus, with a gift for Paul. Sadly, the messenger became very ill while with Paul, but now that he has recovered, Paul is returning him to Philippi, along with the letter (2:25-30; 4:15-18).
Less clear are the political assumptions and harsh realities that frame this encouraging missive. Paul lived and traveled within the mightiest empire the world had known up to that point. He carried his gospel message thousands of miles on Roman roads built for military conquest. At the same time he challenged the very foundations that supported this empire, and his activism was perceived by political authorities as a threat. Paul paid for this by suffering in a Roman prison (1:13) and did not know if he would survive his ordeal or not (1:21-24).
Stuff that happened earlier
Around 50 C.E., Paul and his companions were on a missionary journey through Asia Minor, what is now western Turkey. At Troas, Paul received a night vision of a person from Macedonia, a region now part of Greece, begging him to "come and help us" (Acts 16:9). The little group immediately set sail across the Aegean Sea to the port of Neapolis, and from there to Philippi, "a leading city of the district of Macedonia and a Roman colony" (Acts 16:12).

New UNCCD Drylands Ambassador to Promote SLM in SDGs
16 January 2014: The Secretariat of the UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) has announced that Tarja Halonen, former President of Finland, has beenô designatedô a UNCCD Drylands Ambassador.
In accepting the designation, Halonen said, "Sustainable development, poverty eradication and the empowerment of women are very close to my heart. That is why I agreed to serve as Co-Chair of the UN Millennium Summit, later as Co-Chair of the High-level Panel on Global Sustainably, and now as Drylands Ambassador of the UNCCD." She added that she would seek to promote sustainable land management (SLM) at all levels, as well asô its inclusion in theô Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)ô and the post-2015 development agenda.
Halonenô follows the most recent appointment, Pedro Pires, Cape Verde, who became a UNCCD Drylands Ambassador in October 2013, in an effort to promote a land degradation neutral world, as called for in the outcome of the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (UNCSD, or Rio+20).ô Halonenô is the ninth UNCCD Drylands Ambassador.ô [UNCCD News Release][Land Policy & Practice news posts about Drylands Ambassadors] [UNCCD Drylands Ambassadors webpage]

Solutions for Chapter 5
Even though governmental units have the right to seize the properties if the property taxes are outstanding, with certain restrictions:
• The legal procedure to seize a property for non-payment of taxes is more expensive than creating allowances for uncollectible taxes.
• Social problems like unemployment, stock market situation, and economic conditions of the country create a dull property collection.
• The sale of property without proper transfer of lien. This creates the confusion of identifying the person who is liable to pay the taxes.
Conclusion :
The decision of the councilwoman in eliminating the allowance for uncollectible taxes may increase the expenditure rather than the revenue. Therefore, seizing the property instead of creating allowances is not a recommended decision.

Arsenal have not won the Premier League title in seven years and their fans are starting to grow restless. This season looks promising for the Gunners as they currently are in second place just two points behind leaders Chelsea.
However, many Arsenal fans feel that this team is missing just one or two pieces, and with the January transfer window approaching, they are hoping that manager Arsene Wenger will get active in the transfer window.
The club has been linked with moves for high profile players, but many feel this is just a ploy by the media to stir up excitement. Historically, Wenger has usually not been an active player in the transfer market unless it is to sell players. Instead, Wenger usually prefers to build up the young players in his squad.
Nevertheless Arsenal fans are hoping one or two moves can be made during January or this summer. Here is a look at 10 Arsenal transfer rumours.

Transformers looks great, and Cars Land looks amazing. I can't believe I will be strolling the town of Radiator Springs! As an extra pleasure one will get to see L.A. just as Walt saw it when he arrived for the first time (Buena Vista Street)

^I'm not sure about that. It really depends on what the theme park fan is looking for. The latest 2012 additions in SoCal certainly are beginning to level the playing filed thematically, but California will always dominate the roller coaster side of things (though I must admit BGA has some great coasters).

Wofgang Puck began cooking with his mother, an Austrian chef, when he was just a child, going on to formal training at fourteen years old. As a young chef he worked in some of France's greatest restaurants, including Maxim's in Paris, the Hotel de Paris in Monaco, and the Michelin 3-starred L'Oustau de Baumanière in Provence. Wolfgang moved to the United States in 1973, becoming part owner of Ma Maison in West Hollywood during the late 1970s. From opening Spago in West Hollywood in 1982, to Chinois in Santa Monica in 1983, then Postrio in San Francisco in 1989, which all featured creative elements of California fusion cuisine with French cooking techniques for a fabulous blend of fresh ingredients and rich, sublime sauces?
Wolfgang's hard work and dedication to his craft has paid off with continued, consistent success, and his vast experience as a world-renowned chef has led to the development of products for the home kitchen. The cookware collection includes heavy-duty stainless steel as well as enamel-covered cast-iron roasting pans, Wolfgang Puck casseroles sauté pans and other Wolfgang Puck cookware. He also produces a line of fine appliances, including Wolfgang Puck toaster oven, food processors, mixers, Wolfgang Puck rice cookers, and the particularly well-reviewed Wolfgang Puck electric skillets and indoor grills.

Sunday, March 30th. The Orlando Citrus Bowl. 6:30 p.m. 70,000+ people. The biggest Wrestlemania under the sun. I will be there -- will you? Check back on Monday, March 31st for my behind-the-scenes impressions of what will surely be a spectacular show. I'm going to Wrestlemania, suckas! EDIT: Oh, right, school. Forgot about that. Impressions will be delayed until the weekend, hopefully with accompanying pictures. Stay tuned!

EDIT: Oh, right, school. Forgot about that. Impressions will be delayed until the weekend, hopefully with accompanying pictures. Stay tuned!
Wrestlemania 24
I've been a fan of professional wrestling since the WCW days. For some reason, the combination of quirky characters, entertaining storylines, and pure athleticism has always appealed to me. Although it is often described as a soap opera for men, professional wrestling has always had a certain allure to it that I can't quite identify. At any rate, I've followed it closely for many years, rooting for my favorites and booing the villains just like a true wrestling fan.
When I found out that Wrestlemania 24 was going to be held in Orlando, I was ecstatic. I've never been to a WWE Pay-Per-View, let alone their biggest show of the year. Every true wrestling fan wishes to attend Wrestlemania at least once in their lives, and they weren't going to come any closer to me than Orlando. Realizing that this might be the only chance I ever get to attending a Wrestlemania show, I promptly started saving up money so my dad and I would be able to attend. The week before tickets officially went on sale, I discovered the pre-sale password over the internet and nabbed two good seats over Ticketmaster. That was in November of '07, and the tickets arrived in the mail two or three weeks later. I have been living in anticipation ever since.
When Wrestlemania weekend finally approached, I threw my homework into my car and drove home to Daytona Beach the day before the event. Needless to say, my homework remained largely unfinished.
The big story going into Wrestlemania was Ric Flair's retirement match against Shawn Michaels. Ric Flair has been wrestling for almost 35 years straight, and he is widely regarded as the best professional wrestler who ever lived. He has done more for the business than any other wrestler in history, and his decade-spanning career is prestigious beyond belief. And his final match -- his very last match -- was going to be held at this year's 'Mania. I really felt privileged that I would be able to see it with my own eyes. Of course, I was also greatly looking forward to the traditional Money in the Bank Ladder Match, the triple threat match for the WWE Championship, and the World Heavyweight Title match between Edge and Undertaker. Oh yes, this was going to be a spectacular show.
On the day of the event, my dad and I left the house at around 1:30 pm. The show didn't start until 6:30 and it only takes about an hour to get to Orlando, but we knew that traffic was going to be a nightmare with 70,000+ people in attendance and we wanted to get there as early as possible. We made good time and got there around 2:30. Our handy dandy Mapquest directions took us right through the hood, which is always an interesting experience. Keep your doors locked, look straight ahead, and don't mess with anyone!
When we finally emerged from the less-than-reputable neighborhood and arrived at the arena, the first thing we noticed was the gaggle of people standing on the roadsides trying to get our attention. There were scalpers with tickets for sale at inflated prices, people waving money in the air while holding up signs that read "I need Wrestlemania tickets," and nearby businesses and homeowners offering to let us park in their lots for a nominal fee. Luckily we arrived early enough to avoid that hassle, and we found a decent spot in the municipal complex of nearby Jones High School. By 3 pm, we were ready to get the party started.
Ah, we've finally made it to the Citrus Bowl.
We could hear heavy metal music in the distance, so we asked a couple fans who were sitting around talking about the upcoming show what it was all about. They said there was some band I've never heard of playing in a rally nearby, so we decided to go check it out since we had some time to kill. A ten-minute walk led us to this:
Hey, cool, they even have a concert here.
The music was too loud and screechy for our tastes, so my dad and I decided to just keep moving. The place was really starting to fill up anyway.
We got some lunch from the extremely overpriced vendors and wandered around the outside of the arena to mingle with the fans.
Man, that date in the corner of all the photos is really annoying. I wish there was some way I could have turned that off. Speaking of which, I should probably point out now that I was using my mom's cheapo hundred-dollar digital camera, so the picture quality was pretty crappy. You'll see what I mean in some of the later pictures.
Being here among all these wrestling fans was a great experience. Everyone was so excited about the show that the air was buzzing with positive energy. Since everybody was excited, naturally that means they were all in a good mood, so you could walk up to anybody and start a pleasant conversation with them. We did that for a little while, and it was a good way to pass the time. The gates didn't open until 4:30, so we basically just talked wrestling with the fellow fans for an hour or two. The time flew by.
All throughout the wait, we could hear them rehearsing inside the arena. Every now and then you'd hear Lilian Garcia announce the match between Big Show and Floyd Mayweather and then you'd hear Mayweather's music play. Same thing with Snoop Dogg's entrance in the Playboy Bunnymania match. I suppose they wanted to get some last-minute practice in with the celebrities so they wouldn't make any mistakes later on in the night.
Now one of the biggest concerns going into 'Mania was whether or not it would rain. Since the Citrus Bowl is an open arena, we would all be pretty much screwed if it started raining. The forecast for that day in Orlando was a 50% chance of scattered showers, so I'm sure a lot of people backstage were worried about that.
At 4:15 pm, I felt a raindrop on my arm. It was followed by some of its friends.
Oh hell, those skies don't look friendly at all.
Yeah, it started to drizzle a little, but luckily it only lasted a few minutes. Still, the sky remained overcast, and it looked like it was going to rain any minute.
When 4:30 finally rolled around, the gates opened up and everyone clamored together to get into the stadium. The scene looked a little something like this:
Yikes! We're packed to the gills here!
We shuffled along step by step among 70,000 other fans until we made it past the gate. By 5 pm, we were officially inside the Citrus Bowl. We had made it at last!
All those empty seats would be filled up in a matter of hours.
I made it! I'm at Wrestlemania!
By the time 5:45 rolled around, the place was really beginning to fill up.
For some reason, the right side of the arena was filling up much faster than the left side
While we were sitting in our seats, we started chatting with the folks in front of us about the show. The conversation eventually turned to the ticket prices, and the guy in front of us said he paid $55 dollars for his ticket. Huh what? That's it? My dad and I paid $90 for our tickets, so could this guy have paid about half that amount when he was sitting right in front of us? Eventually we realized that we were sitting in section 219 when our tickets were for section 119. Oh. Well, we gathered up our stuff and moved down the stands a bit to claim our rightful seats. Oh yes, we were much closer to the action now. Good thing we talked to those people, huh?
Oh yes, these seats were much better.
You remember what I said earlier about the crappy camera I was using? Well, just by looking at these pictures, you might be inclined to think that we were still pretty far away from the ring. Don't be fooled, though: we were actually much closer to the action than these photos would suggest.
To pass the time, some people had brought along inflatable beach balls to bounce through the crowd. That acted as our pre-show entertainment. Whenever anyone missed the ball and it fell to the ground, the entire crowd would boo. There were a couple guys who would grab the ball and hold onto it, then play up to the crowd while they all booed him. Then they'd send the ball along its way and he'd get a good laugh out of it. When the ball bounced near one of the security guards, we all thought he was going to take it from us, but he ended up bouncing it up through the crowd just like everyone else. That earned him quite a loud cheer. We continued this until the show finally started.
The Pay-Per-View didn't officially start until 7 pm, but there was going to be a special battle royal at 6:30 pm that was going to be streamed live on WWE.com. The battle royal involved 24 wrestlers from all three brands, with the winner facing Chavo Guerrero for the ECW Title later on in the night. My pick was Kane, although the group in front of us were all in agreement that Festus was going to win.
The battle royal gets underway.
The match was pretty short, as battle royals go. It only lasted about 15 minutes or so, and guys were getting eliminated very quickly, which was kind of disappointing. I was also disappointed that Big Daddy V and Matt Striker had been left out even though they had been advertised for the match in the past few weeks. I guess they had to make room for Deuce and Domino *eyeroll*. Also, I thought it was kind of odd that Brian Kendrick was in the match but not Paul London. They were a tag team, so you would think they'd both be in it. So yeah, those three totally should have been in the match, in my opinion.
When Kane finally won the match, I took great pleasure in rubbing it in the faces of the people in front of me.
By this point, the place is really starting to fill up.
When 6:45 rolled around, Lilian Garcia announced that Wrestlemania would be starting in only 15 minutes. Just to make sure everyone was aware of this, they started a countdown.
And away we go.
By now, the stands were almost completely full.
Huh. So that's what 70,000 people looks like.
They showed a couple video packages on the big screen to keep us occupied. Then the Smackdown and Raw announce teams made their way to the ring amidst copious cheers from the crowd (well, Coachman got mostly boos, but you get the idea). I forgot to mention that Tazz and Joey Styles came out before the battle royal, and they were met with a smattering of "E-C-W" chants. Once the announce teams had been situated, they brought the countdown back to the big screen.
Almost there. Aaaaaalmost there. Oh, come on. Hurry up already. Come ooooooon! COME ON! ARGH HURRY UP WHY ARE YOU TAKING SO LONG TO START?!
Aaaaaalmost there.
Oh, come on. Hurry up already.
Come ooooooon!
Well, eventually the countdown concluded and the event finally began. Excitement was at an all-time high. The opening fireworks display was set off and we all just went crazy. Wrestlemania 24 had finally begun!
The first match was the Belfast Brawl between John Bradshaw Layfield and Finlay. This match was a good way to get the crowd fired up since it had a lot of high spots and brutality. When Hornswoggle came out, he got an unusually loud pop, and the crowd was fully behind Finlay all the way. Why? Because JBL is a Grade A douchebag, that's why. As a side note, my dad laughed every time Hornswoggle got hurt.
Bradshaw celebrates his win over Finlay.
Up next was the Money in the Bank Ladder Match. I had to explain the rules to my dad beforehand so he'd know what they were all fighting for.
Man, John Morrison has the best entrance ever.
Chris Jericho was the favorite to win this match.
As expected, the MiTB Ladder Match was brutal and exciting. Tons of high spots punctuated this match, and there were several instances where the crowd was certain that the match was going to end, only to have someone take a nasty tumble from the ladder. Some of the more exciting moments included John Morrison's moonsault off the ring ropes onto the guys on the floor while clutching a ladder, Carlito tipping Shelton's ladder over only to have Shelton balance himself on the ropes, Carlito and Mr. Kennedy sending Shelton from the top of his ladder to the ladder that was propped up outside the ring, CM Punk and Carlito hitting matching springboards from the ropes to the ladder, Jericho locking in the Walls of Jericho on Morrison while atop the ladder, and Matt Hardy giving MVP that Twist of fate from the very top of the ladder. Oh yes, I was so very excited when Matt Hardy showed up to get some revenge on MVP. I've been waiting for him to return for months now, so it was good to see him in action again. Coincidentally, Matt Hardy got one of the loudest pops of the night. Were you listening to that, WWE? Time to give Matt Hardy the push he deserves.
CM Punk wins the Money in the Bank Ladder Match!
Once again, I predicted that CM Punk would win while the guy in front of me was certain that Jericho would win it. And once again, I took great pleasure in rubbing it in his face. Heh heh.
Batista makes his way out to the ring for his battle with Umaga
The next match was Batista vs. Umaga. The less said about this match, the better. In my opinion, this was the worst match of the night. After the fast-paced excitement of the first two matches, this one just brought the momentum of the show down to a crawl. There were even a few scattered "Boring" chants, although I doubt they could be heard on television. Eventually, though, Batista won (big surprise there) and we could get on with the show.
The next match was the ECW Title match between Chavo Guerrero and Kane, but it was so short I couldn't even take any pictures of it! Kane demolished Chavo in only eight seconds to become the new ECW Champion, much to the delight of the crowd. Also, Kane's pyro is HOT! I was sitting on the other side of the arena and I could still feel it.
Ric Flair walks down that aisle for the final match of his illustrious career. Shawn Michaels comes out to do battle with Flair.
Shawn Michaels comes out to do battle with Flair.
Emotions were high in this next match. As expected, Shawn Michaels and Ric Flair put on one hell of a show, with plenty of false finishes and near falls. The psychology of this match was wonderful too, with Shawn Michaels hesitating and backing off every time it looked like he was going to finish Flair off. The ending was superbly done, with Flair motioning for HBK to finish the job, Michaels mouthing "I'm sorry," and hitting Flair with the third superkick of the match to put Flair down for good. It was a very emotional finish to a very emotional match.
Flair recovers after suffering HBK's Sweet Chin Music. The emotions start to sink in as Flair realizes that he's just wrestled his very last match. Flair received a standing ovation after his match. Thanks for all the wonderful memories, Ric.
The emotions start to sink in as Flair realizes that he's just wrestled his very last match.
Flair received a standing ovation after his match. Thanks for all the wonderful memories, Ric.
There were very few dry eyes in the arena following this match, and I am not ashamed to admit that I got a bit choked up myself. I will never forget that moment. It was a privilege to watch Flair's last match in person. You are a legend among legends, Ric. Wooooo!
Time for the womens' tag match!
The next match was the "Playboy Bunnymania" divas match, which is a fancy way of saying a Womens' Lumberjack Match. Melina and Beth Phoenix (accompanied by the very entertaining and funny Santino Marella) were fighting Maria and Ashley, and even though a lot of people used this opportunity to visit the restrooms, I actually thought they put on a pretty good match. Unfortunately, there were some technical difficulties during the match and the lights went out halfway through. It had been drizzling on and off all day, so I think some of their equipment just got wet.
Hey, who turned out the lights?
Well, the rest of the match was illuminated with a couple spot lights, so at least we could see what was going on. Ashley and Maria really pulled out all the stops and went all-out to take down their much stronger and more skilled opponents, but in the end, they were unsuccessful. Beth Phoenix won the match with a fisherman's suplex to Maria, picking up the victory for her team.
Beth Phoenix and Melina celebrate their win.
They managed to get the lights back on before the next match, which was good because this one was pretty important. Randy Orton was defending the WWE Championship against John Cena and Triple H in a triple-threat match.
Here comes Triple H! I really like Randy Orton's entrance music.
I really like Randy Orton's entrance music.
This was a good, fast-paced match with lots of near falls. Almost everyone there expected either Cena or Triple H to walk away with the championship, so when Orton ended up retaining, we were all a little shocked.
Wow, he actually did it. Kudos to you, Randy Orton.
Our next contest was the match between Floyd "Money" Mayweather and Big Show.
Floyd Mayweather puts Big Show down for the count with one well-placed punch
This match was pretty entertaining for what it was. Mayweather actually did pretty well in the ring, which I'm sure earned him a lot of respect from the fans. That didn't stop us from booing the hell out of him, though. We all made fun of his MC Hammer pants and his small stature. When Big Show tried to shush the crowd before one of his trademark chest slaps, we all started cheering crazily. We all kind of knew that Mayweather was going to win it somehow, but the finish was still kind of surprising. I guess even a guy as big and tough as the Big Show can't withstand a pair of brass knuckles to the jaw. Congrats, Mayweather!
There was only one match left on the card: Edge vs. The Undertaker for the World Heavyweight Championship. When I checked my watch and saw it was only 10:20, I knew the main event was going to be a good one since they were giving Edge and Taker a good 40 minutes to work with. At long last, Undertaker's music hit and we dove right into our main event of the evening.
Okay, you know how I said earlier that John Morrison has the best entrance in the WWE? I take it back. No one has a better entrance than the Undertaker. No one. Edge's entrance was up next.
For most of the people who saw Wrestlemania, Ric Flair vs. Shawn Michaels was the match of the night. In my opinion, though, Edge and Undertaker stole the show and held the best match of the evening. They got all of their big moves in and had a ton of false finishes thrown in there. Just when you thought the match was over, Taker or Edge would kick out at the very last moment and keep fighting! It was an excellent match from beginning to end. When Taker locked in that submission move on Edge out of nowhere, the crowd went nuts because we knew there was no way Edge was going to escape it. When Edge finally tapped out, the Citrus Bowl erupted in cheers. Taker had done it! He had gone 16-0 at Wrestlemania!
16-0, baby! Yahoo!
Post-match fireworks celebrate Undertaker's victory.
Thus ended a truly amazing night. I had an excellent time from beginning to end, and I brought away a ton of memories that will likely stay with me for the rest of my life. My Wrestlemania awards are as follows:
Best Match of the Night: Edge vs. Undertaker, without question. Ric Flair vs. Shawn Michaels and the MiTB Ladder Match were both excellent, but Edge and Taker just stole the show, in my opinion.
Worst Match of the Night: Batista vs. Umaga. It sucked. That's really all I can say about it.
Biggest Crowd Reaction: Matt Hardy's return, CM Punk winning the MiTB Ladder Match, Ric Flair's standing ovation, and Undertaker winning the title from Edge.
Biggest High Spot: Carlito and Kennedy sending Benjamin through that ladder during the MiTB Ladder Match.
Funniest Moment: The dumbfounded look on Carlito's face after he and Kennedy almost killed Benjamin. He just looked completely flabbergasted, which earned a laugh from the crowd.
Best Clothesline: Snoop Doog. Sorry Bradshaw, but the clothesline Snoop Dogg gave to Santino just put your Clothesline from Hell to shame.
Biggest Surprise: Matt Hardy's return. No one expected that. Runner-up would have to be Orton retaining the WWE Title in the triple-threat match.
Biggest Botch: The lights going out during the womens' match. Runner-up is Shelton trying to springboard onto the ladder only to have it buckle under the force and send him tumbling to the mat. Oops.
Most entertaining midget: Floyd Mayweather. Oh wait, you were expecting me to say Hornswoggle, perhaps? Psyche. Mayweather is a small guy to begin with, but he really does look like a dwarf when he stands next to Big Show.
Best Dressed: Floyd Mayweather again. Those MC Hammer pants were awesome. Runner-up is John Morrison, who always looks stylish.
Quote of the Night: "Just eat him, Big Show! Pretend he's a Slim Jim!" This was shouted by a member of the crowd while Big Show was passing out from Mayweather's sleeper hold. It earned a hearty laugh from the audience nearby. Runner-up would be someone else shouting "Eat a sandwich, Ashley!" during the womens' match. Yeah, she was looking kind of skinny, now that I think about it.
Hmmmmm...these will make good souvenirs.

I dont use a recipe for regualr chili but this recipe is good also- pork and black bean
Love this from Alton Brown- its texas style, no beans.
Chili powder recipe(I make and it keeps for while)
Serves 12
2 pounds ground beef chuck
1 pound bulk Italian sausage
3 (15 ounce) cans chili beans, drained
1 (15 ounce) can chili beans in spicy sauce
2 (28 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with juice
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 large yellow onion, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
2 green chile peppers, seeded and chopped
1 tablespoon bacon bits
4 cubes beef bouillon
1/2 cup beer
1/4 cup chili powder
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce (e.g. Tabasco™)
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 (10.5 ounce) bag corn chips such as Fritos®
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese
Heat a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Crumble the ground chuck and sausage into the hot pan, and cook until evenly browned. Drain off excess grease.
Pour in the chili beans, spicy chili beans, diced tomatoes and tomato paste. Add the onion, celery, green and red bell peppers, chile peppers, bacon bits, bouillon, and beer. Season with chili powder, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, oregano, cumin, hot pepper sauce, basil, salt, pepper, cayenne, paprika, and sugar. Stir to blend, then cover and simmer over low heat for at least 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
After 2 hours, taste, and adjust salt, pepper, and chili powder if necessary. The longer the chili simmers, the better it will taste. Remove from heat and serve, or refrigerate, and serve the next day.
To serve, ladle into bowls, and top with corn chips and shredded Cheddar cheese.
1 medium onion diced
1 green pepper diced
2 celery stalks diced
2 14 oz cans crushed tomatoes
32 oz tomato sauce
1 can pinto beans
1 can kidney beans
1 can northern beans
1 pack McCormick mild chili seasoning
1 TBL chili powder
2 lbs ground chuck
Salt & pepper
Saute onion, green pepper, & celery in a splash of oil until tender & set aside in a bowl. (I do everything in one big pot so less mess.)
Brown ground chuck & season w/ salt & pepper.
Add all canned items, seasonings, & veggies in pot w/ meat.
Simmer on low for 1 hour.
Serve w/ favorite toppings. Mine are shredded cheddar & fritos. Also good: oyster crackers, hot sauce for those who like spice, extra diced raw onion. Whatever you like on your chili. Also, freezes great.
I got this recipe from my cousin's husband. It is really good and makes a tons (you can, of course, cut the recipe in half) so I always freeze a good amount of it. My cousin says her husband does not really measure so this is his approximation. I have made the recipe several times and pretty much stuck to it.
They are from Indiana and we live in NJ, and our grocery stores don't sell chili beans around here. Years ago, I ordered some from a website, but the last couple of times I made it, I just used kidney beans and added some extra chili powder.
Hammer's Chili
Brown about 4 or 5 pounds of ground chuck. Drain really well in a colander. Place beef in a stock pot and add the following ingredients.
2 large cans of tomato juice
3 cups thick salsa
1 large chopped onion (white onion)
1-2 chopped jalapeno peppers (optional)
1-2 cups sweet corn
1 large can diced canned tomatoes
1/3-½ Cup chili powder
1 large can Brooks Hot or Mild chili beans
Simmer until chili cooks down to the thickness you like.
Serve with crushed tortilla chips (or oyster crackers), sour cream, shredded cheese, and sour cream.

1 16-ounce package all-beef hot dogs, cut in to small bite-size pieces
2 pounds ground sirloin
2 medium onions, diced
4 garlic cloves, chopped
2 jalapeño peppers, seeded and finely chopped (add more or less depending on how much spice you like)
2 tablespoons (2 palmfuls) chili powder
2 tablespoons (2 palmfuls) cumin

1 15-ounce can red beans, drained
Hot sauce, to taste
Shredded cheddar cheese, for garnish
Yields: 4-6 servings
Heat a large, high-sided pot over medium-high heat with about 2 tablespoons EVOO, two turns of the pan. Add the chopped-up dogs and cook, stirring every now and then until lightly browned, 2-3 minutes. Remove and reserve the browned dogs. Add the ground beef to the pot and use the back of a spoon or a potato masher to break it up into small pieces while it cooks and browns, about 4-5 minutes. Once the meat is brown, add the diced onions (reserving some for garnish), garlic, jalapeños, chili powder, cumin, salt and some freshly ground black pepper. Cook until the onions start to get tender, about 3-4 minutes. Add the beef stock, crushed tomatoes, beans, reserved browned hot dogs back to the pot and season with some hot sauce, to taste. Bring the mixture up to a bubble and simmer for 10 minutes. To serve, ladle up the Chili Dog Chili and top each portion with some cheese and some of the reserved chopped onion.

Grandma Strike's Chili

It is Chili by George!!
2 pounds lean ground beef
1 (46 fluid ounce) can tomato juice
1 (29 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
1 1/2 cups chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon white sugar
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/4 cup chili powder
Place ground beef in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown. Drain, and crumble. In a large pot over high heat combine the ground beef, tomato juice, tomato sauce, kidney beans, pinto beans, onions, bell pepper, cayenne pepper, sugar, oregano, ground black pepper, salt, cumin and chili powder. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer for 1 1/2 hours. (Note: If using a slow cooker, set on low, add ingredients, and cook for 8 to 10 hours.)
My notes: I used a 46 oz V8 for the tomato juice and left out the green pepper. The only change I'll make next time is to add in a giant can of diced tomatoes. Otherwise this is perfect!
My Buddy Dave's Camp Chili
Michelle (MMmom)
1 lb red meat (beef, venison, wild pig, etc.)
1/2 to 1 pound smoked sausage
1/2 pound bacon
1 medium onion, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
1/2 cup green onion tops, chopped
1/2 cup parsley, chopped
3-5 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tabasco or jalapeno peppers chopped
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 can (14 oz) diced stewed tomatoes
1 can (10 oz) Rotel diced tomatoes & green chilies
2 cans (8 oz) tomato sauce
2 tbs chili powder
cajun seasoning mix (Chachere's or Zatarain's)
Fry bacon in a heavy walled cast iron or aluminum pot. Remove bacon and crumble. Dice sausage, and brown in bacon grease. Remove sausage. Brown meat in bacon-sausage grease. Remove meat. Drain off excess grease. Add the onion, bell pepper, garlic and hot peppers and saute in a small amount of the grease.
Simmer: Add the meat back to the mixture. Add the Worcestershire sauce, diced stewed tomatoes, Rotel tomatoes & green chilies, tomato sauce, chili powder, and enough water to cover the mixture. After the chili cooks for a while, add cajun seasoning mix to taste.
If you like a stronger chili taste, add more chili powder and/or cumin. If your chili powder is old, you may have to use more. Cook with the pot covered under low heat so the mixture simmers (lightly boils). Stir enough that the meat does not stick and burn - using a heavy walled pot helps prevent sticking/burning. Cook for an hour, or until the meat is tender. Let the chili set on low heat for about 1/2 hour, then skim off grease. When almost done, add the chopped green onion tops and parsley.
My Notes: I think you should use ground meat for the red meat. It is a nice texture change. I think you can omit the water if you like a thicker chili and beans would be nice in this too if you like them in your chili!
