Debugger.Frame instance represents a visible stack frame. Given a
Debugger.Frame instance, you can find the script the frame is executing, walk the stack to older frames, find the lexical environment in which the execution is taking place, and so on.
For a given
Debugger instance, SpiderMonkey creates only one
Debugger.Frame instance for a given visible frame. Every handler method called while the debuggee is running in a given frame is given the same frame object. Similarly, walking the stack back to a previously accessed frame yields the same frame object as before. Debugger code can add its own properties to a frame object and expect to find them later, use
== to decide whether two expressions refer to the same frame, and so on.
(If more than one
Debugger instance is debugging the same code, each
Debugger gets a separate
Debugger.Frame instance for a given frame. This allows the code using each
Debugger instance to place whatever properties it likes on its
Debugger.Frame instances, without worrying about interfering with other debuggers.)
When the debuggee pops a stack frame (say, because a function call has returned or an exception has been thrown from it), the
Debugger.Frame instance referring to that frame becomes inactive: its
live property becomes
false, and accessing its other properties or calling its methods throws an exception. Note that frames only become inactive at times that are predictable for the debugger: when the debuggee runs, or when the debugger removes frames from the stack itself.
Stack frames that represent the control state of generator-iterator objects behave in a special way, described in Generator Frames below.
Visible Frames
When inspecting the call stack,
Debugger does not reveal all the frames that are actually present on the stack: while it does reveal all frames running debuggee code, it omits frames running the debugger's own code, and omits most frames running non-debuggee code. We call those stack frames a
Debugger does revealvisible frames.
A frame is a visible frame if any of the following are true:
it is running debuggee code;
its immediate caller is a frame running debuggee code; or
it is a
"debugger"frame, representing the continuation of debuggee code invoked by the debugger.
The "immediate caller" rule means that, when debuggee code calls a non-debuggee function, it looks like a call to a primitive: you see a frame for the non-debuggee function that was accessible to the debuggee, but any further calls that function makes are treated as internal details, and omitted from the stack trace. If the non-debuggee function eventually calls back into debuggee code, then those frames are visible.
(Note that the debuggee is not considered an "immediate caller" of handler methods it triggers. Even though the debuggee and debugger share the same JavaScript stack, frames pushed for SpiderMonkey's calls to handler methods to report events in the debuggee are never considered visible frames.)
Invocation Functions and "debugger" Frames
Aninvocation function is any function in this interface that allows the debugger to invoke code in the debuggee:
Debugger.Frame.prototype.eval, and so on.
While invocation functions differ in the code to be run and how to pass values to it, they all follow this general procedure:
Letolder be the youngest visible frame on the stack, or
nullif there is no such frame. (This is never one of the the debugger's own frames; those never appear as
Push a
"debugger"frame on the stack, witholder as its
Invoke the debuggee code as appropriate for the given invocation function, with the
"debugger"frame as its continuation. For example,
Debugger.Frame.prototype.evalpushes an
"eval"frame for code it runs, whereas
Debugger.Object.prototype.callpushes a
When the debuggee code completes, whether by returning, throwing an exception or being terminated, pop the
"debugger"frame, and return an appropriate completion value from the invocation function to the debugger.
When a debugger calls an invocation function to run debuggee code, that code's continuation is the debugger, not the next debuggee code frame. Pushing a
"debugger" frame makes this continuation explicit, and makes it easier to find the extent of the stack created for the invocation.
Accessor Properties of the Debugger.Frame Prototype Object
Debugger.Frame instance inherits the following accessor properties from its prototype:
A string describing what sort of frame this is:
"call": a frame running a function call. (We may not be able to obtain frames for calls to host functions.)
"eval": a frame running code passed to
"global": a frame running global code (JavaScript that is neither of the above).
"module": a frame running code at the top level of a module.
"debugger": a frame for a call to user code invoked by the debugger (see the
evalmethod below).
A string describing which tier of the JavaScript engine this frame is executing in:
"interpreter": a frame running in the interpreter.
"baseline": a frame running in the unoptimizing, baseline JIT.
"ion": a frame running in the optimizing JIT.
- The value of
thisfor this frame (a debuggee value).
- The next-older visible frame, in which control will resume when this frame completes. If there is no older frame, this is
null. (On a suspended generator frame, the value of this property is
null; see Generator Frames.)
- The depth of this frame, counting from oldest to youngest; the oldest frame has a depth of zero.
- True if the frame this
Debugger.Frameinstance refers to is still on the stack (or, in the case of generator-iterator objects, has not yet finished its iteration); false if it has completed execution or been popped in some other way.
- The script being executed in this frame (a
Debugger.Scriptinstance), or
nullon frames that do not represent calls to debuggee code. On frames whose
calleeproperty is not null, this is equal to
- The offset of the bytecode instruction currently being executed in
script, or
undefinedif the frame's
scriptproperty is
- The lexical environment within which evaluation is taking place (a
Debugger.Environmentinstance), or
nullon frames that do not represent the evaluation of debuggee code, like calls non-debuggee functions, host functions or
- The function whose application created this frame, as a debuggee value, or
nullif this is not a
- True if this frame is a generator frame, false otherwise.
- True if this frame is for a function called as a constructor, false otherwise.
- The arguments passed to the current frame, or
nullif this is not a
"call"frame. When non-
null, this is an object, allocated in the same global as the debugger, with
Array.prototypeon its prototype chain, a non-writable
lengthproperty, and properties whose names are array indices. Each property is a read-only accessor property whose getter returns the current value of the corresponding parameter. When the referent frame is popped, the argument value's properties' getters throw an error.
Handler Methods of Debugger.Frame Instances
Debugger.Frame instance inherits accessor properties holding handler functions for SpiderMonkey to call when given events occur in the frame.
Calls to frames' handler methods are cross-compartment, intra-thread calls: the call takes place in the thread to which the frame belongs, and runs in the compartment to which the handler method belongs.
Debugger.Frame instances inherit the following handler method properties:
This property must be either
undefinedor a function. If it is a function, SpiderMonkey calls it when execution in this frame makes a small amount of progress, passing no arguments and providing this
Debugger.Frameinstance as the
thisvalue. The function should return a resumption value specifying how the debuggee's execution should proceed.
What constitutes "a small amount of progress" varies depending on the implementation, but it is fine-grained enough to implement useful "step" and "next" behavior.
If multiple
Debuggerinstances each have
Debugger.Frameinstances for a given stack frame with
onStephandlers set, their handlers are run in an unspecified order. If any
onStephandler forces the frame to return early (by returning a resumption value other than
undefined), any remaining debuggers'
onStephandlers do not run.
This property is ignored on frames that are not executing debuggee code, like
"call"frames for calls to host functions and
This property must be either
undefinedor a function. If it is a function, SpiderMonkey calls it just before this frame is popped, passing a completion value indicating how this frame's execution completed, and providing this
Debugger.Frameinstance as the
thisvalue. The function should return a resumption value indicating how execution should proceed. On newly created frames, this property's value is
When this handler is called, this frame's current execution location, as reflected in its
environmentproperties, is the operation which caused it to be unwound. In frames returning or throwing an exception, the location is often a return or a throw statement. In frames propagating exceptions, the location is a call.
When an
onPopcall reports the completion of a construction call (that is, a function called via the
newoperator), the completion value passed to the handler describes the value returned by the function body. If this value is not an object, it may be different from the value produced by the
newexpression, which will be the value of the frame's
thisproperty. (In ECMAScript terms, the
onPophandler receives the value returned by the
[[Call]]method, not the value returned by the
When a debugger handler function forces a frame to complete early, by returning a
{ return:... },
{ throw:... }, or
nullresumption value, SpiderMonkey calls the frame's
onPophandler, if any. The completion value passed in this case reflects the resumption value that caused the frame to complete.
When SpiderMonkey calls an
onPophandler for a frame that is throwing an exception or being terminated, and the handler returns
undefined, then SpiderMonkey proceeds with the exception or termination. That is, an
undefinedresumption value leaves the frame's throwing and termination process undisturbed.
(Not yet implemented.)When a generator frame yields a value, SpiderMonkey calls its
onPophandler method, if present, passing a
yieldresumption value; however, the
Debugger.Frameinstance remains live.
If multiple
Debuggerinstances each have
Debugger.Frameinstances for a given stack frame with
onPophandlers set, their handlers are run in an unspecified order. The resumption value each handler returns establishes the completion value reported to the next handler.
This handler is not called on
"debugger"frames. It is also not called when unwinding a frame due to an over-recursion or out-of-memory exception.
This property must be either
undefinedor a function. If it is a function, SpiderMonkey calls it if the current frame is a generator frame whose execution has just been resumed. The function should return a resumption value indicating how execution should proceed. On newly created frames, this property's value is
If the program resumed the generator by calling its
sendmethod and passing a value, thenvalue is that value. Otherwise,value is
Function Properties of the Debugger.Frame Prototype Object
The functions described below may only be called with a
this value referring to a
Debugger.Frame instance; they may not be used as methods of other kinds of objects.
eval(code, [options])
Evaluatecode in the execution context of this frame, and return a completion value describing how it completed.Code is a string. If this frame's
environmentproperty is
null, throw a
TypeError. All extant handler methods, breakpoints, watchpoints, and so on remain active during the call. This function follows the invocation function conventions.
Codeis interpreted as strict mode code when it contains a Use Strict Directive, or the code executing in this frame is strict mode code.
Ifcode is not strict mode code, then variable declarations incode affect the environment of this frame. (In the terms used by the ECMAScript specification, the
VariableEnvironmentof the execution context for the eval code is the
VariableEnvironmentof the execution context that this frame represents.) If implementation restrictions prevent SpiderMonkey from extending this frame's environment as requested, this call throws an Error exception.
If given,options should be an object whose properties specify details of how the evaluation should occur. The
evalmethod recognizes the following properties:
- The filename or URL to which we should attributecode. If this property is omitted, the URL defaults to
"debugger eval code".
- The line number at which the evaluated code should be claimed to begin withinurl.
evalWithBindings(code,bindings, [options])
eval, but evaluatecode in the environment of this frame, extended with bindings from the objectbindings. For each own enumerable property ofbindings namedname whose value isvalue, include a variable in the environment in whichcode is evaluated namedname, whose value isvalue. Eachvalue must be a debuggee value. (This is not like a
withstatement:code may access, assign to, and delete the introduced bindings without having any effect on thebindings object.)
This method allows debugger code to introduce temporary bindings that are visible to the given debuggee code and which refer to debugger-held debuggee values, and do so without mutating any existing debuggee environment.
Note that, like
eval, declarations in thecode passed to
evalWithBindingsaffect the environment of this frame, even as that environment is extended by bindings visible withincode. (In the terms used by the ECMAScript specification, the
VariableEnvironmentof the execution context for the eval code is the
VariableEnvironmentof the execution context that this frame represents, and thebindings appear in a new declarative environment, which is the eval code's
LexicalEnvironment.) If implementation restrictions prevent SpiderMonkey from extending this frame's environment as requested, this call throws an
Theoptions argument is as for
Debugger.Frame.prototype.eval, described above.
Generator Frames
Not all behavior described in this section has been implemented yet.
SpiderMonkey supports generator-iterator objects, which produce a series of values by repeatedly suspending the execution of a function or expression. For example, calling a function that uses
yield produces a generator-iterator object, as does evaluating a generator expression like
(i*i for each (i in [1,2,3])).
A generator-iterator object refers to a stack frame with no fixed continuation frame. While the generator's code is running, its continuation is whatever frame called its
next method; while the generator is suspended, it has no particular continuation frame; and when it resumes again, the continuation frame for that resumption could be different from that of the previous resumption.
Debugger.Frame instance representing a generator frame differs from an ordinary stack frame as follows:
A generator frame's
generatorproperty is true.
A generator frame disappears from the stack each time the generator yields a value and is suspended, and reappears atop the stack when it is resumed to produce the generator's next value. The same
Debugger.Frameinstance refers to the generator frame until it returns, throws an exception, or is terminated.
A generator frame's
olderproperty refers to the frame's continuation frame while the generator is running, and is
nullwhile the generator is suspended.
A generator frame's
depthproperty reflects the frame's position on the stack when the generator is resumed, and is
nullwhile the generator is suspended.
A generator frame's
liveproperty remains true until the frame returns, throws an exception, or is terminated. Thus, generator frames can be live while not present on the stack.
The other
Debugger.Frame methods and accessor properties work as described on generator frames, even when the generator frame is suspended. You may examine a suspended generator frame's variables, and use its
script and
offset members to see which
yield it is suspended at.
Debugger.Frame instance referring to a generator-iterator frame has a strong reference to the generator-iterator object; the frame (and its object) will live as long as the
Debugger.Frame instance does. However, when the generator function returns, throws an exception, or is terminated, thus ending the iteration, the
Debugger.Frame instance becomes inactive and its
live property becomes
false, just as would occur for any other sort of frame that is popped. A non-live
Debugger.Frame instance no longer holds a strong reference to the generator-iterator object.

There is a body of factual knowledge of varying usefulness that every budding specialist must digest and absorb as part of an extended initiation ritual before being allowed to take boards, lecture to general practitioners, or be let loose on the public. Hence, this new materia nephrologica, a British textbook written by 16 contributors from the capital, seven from the provinces, and two for good measure from Northern Ireland. Though directed mainly at "those training in nephrology," it promises to be useful also to "physicians whose practice often brings them into contact with renal problems." Arranged in the traditional order, it starts off with a chapter on anatomy that many students had hoped they would never encounter again.

2004 Mazda RX-8 Automatic 4dr Coupe (1.3L 2rtr 4A)
My '04 RX-8 (after 5 RX-7s, since '84) just turned 143K original miles with the last 60+K as track-only, since being replaced in '06 with a Prius daily driver. So, rotary reliability is entirely dependent on NEVER bogging the engine (detonation breaks the rotor seals in an instant) and routinely redlining the motor to minimize carbon build-up. Other than routine maintenance and strictly maintaining fluid levels, that's all one needs to know about keeping a rotary healthy. Looking forward to seeing a 1.6L with improved torque and direct injection for better mileage and emissions.
Btw, be sure to look up the maintenance sheet that guarantees FREE LIFETIME REPLACEMENT BRAKE PADS (at least for the 1st gen RX-8s), as the pads last for about 4-6 track days (front brake rotors lasted to 130K after 40K of extreme "use"). It turns out that the RX-8 brake rotor/pad chemistries are ideally engineered for optimum braking, fade resistance and durability, so no need to seek after-market solutions. Oh, and be sure, if at the track, to turn DSC off, to gain another 5+% better braking and 3% acceleration (absolute necessity when entering Laguna Seca turns 2 & 11 or Auto Club Roval turn 3!).
2004 Mazda RX-8 Automatic 4dr Coupe (1.3L 2rtr 4A)
I've owned 4 RX-7s (2nd/3rd generations) and loved them all! So I decided to give the 2004 RX-8 a try; big mistake... Love the look/speed/dynamics of the car, but the reliability was awful! It should never be someone's primary source of transportation.
Love all the dynamics of the the car (looks/speed (performance)/styling/etc.)...
It was in the repair shop almost as much as in my garage. It was a rotten "Lemon", that made bitter, bitter lemonade... I owned it for less than a year.
2004 Mazda RX-8 Automatic 4dr Coupe (1.3L 2rtr 4A)
I bought my 2004 Mazda RX8 in 2004 - brand new with 4 miles on it.
I treated this car like royalty: and it didn't matter.
Engine was replaced at 20k for warranty - THEN the engine failed again just 2k outside of warranty - I paid $7,000 for repairs; The spark plugs cost $100 a piece, Tires are $200.
MUST have premium gas (At premium prices) and MPG is horrible. $5 in gas won't get you out of your neighborhood. Now -2012 - I finally got rid of it. PROBLEMS from day one til the last day. Car shuts off at red lights, when its too cold, and when its too hot. MUST warm-up engine for 15 min. before driving anywhere - I can go on for days but my space here is limited.
DO NOT BUY a 2004 Mazda RX8
The car LOOKS great - but that is all. JUNK...
I'd say that Mazda should stop making them, but they have now. They actually expired the recalls on the engines shortly after acknowledging, because EVERYBODY was having their engines replaced $$$. I will NEVER buy a Mazda again. And I won't let my children ever buy a Mazda either. No reliability - and WILL leave you and your kids stranded on the highway. COMPLETE LEMON.
2004 Mazda RX-8 Automatic 4dr Coupe (1.3L 2rtr 4A)
This I feel is the most sexy looking car on the road BUT.....I put 3 starters in it in 2 years,the visors both split down the middle,various plastic parts broke without reason. I treat my cars like babies.Also,it's true....if you are only driving 2 blocks and shut the car off,it won't restart. Trust me....buy an eclipse instead.
2004 Mazda RX-8 Automatic 4dr Coupe (1.3L 2rtr 4A)
Thinking of buying this car? I'm stranded AGAIN after losing power on a major interstate & having to drift to a stop on the shoulder. I knew what was wrong because I'd been through this before: the "glass bottles" sound rattling under the hood, the jerky take-off & the oil light that just couldn't be corrected. Yes...once again, the rotary engine was dead. This is the THIRD ENGINE IN
1.5 YEARS!!!! Engines are on back order from MAZDA til February, '11. Wanna hear the real horror? I traded my HONDA for this terrible piece of machinery!! Will I ever forgive my bad judgement in buying this car? With all the GREAT alternatives out there, why would you consider Mazda? Take it from me, DON'T!!

Re: Renegade & PARANoIR Present: WWE 2006
Yes, I'm aware it's been a while. This show has been a bitch to post. A bitch to write. And I haven't had time to proof read it. Please excuse any errors.
WWE SmackDown Recap
Target Centre, - Minnesota; Minneapolis
SmackDowns theme Rise Up and the opening video plays, showcasing superstars such as Randy Orton, Chris Jericho, John Bradshaw Layfield, Booker T, AMW, Rey Mysterio and finally Kurt Angle, holding up his World Heavyweight Championship.
Whilst the pyro explodes throughout the arena, the camera pans around the Target Centre momentarily before Michael Coles voice cuts in, almost putting everyone to sleep.
Michael Cole:
Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen to another jam-packed edition of Thursday Night SmackDown! Im Michael Cole and joining me at ringside is none other than Tazz, and partner weve got some HUGE matches on the card tonight!
We sure do, Cole. Up soon, weve got Mr Kennedy challenging Matt Hardy for the United States Championship and also tonight well see the debut of the son of the legendary British Bulldog, Davey Boy Smith Harry Smith! The young lad will take on Hardcore Holly later in the show!
Michael Cole:
And who can forget, Tazz, the chilling actions of Randy Orton last week when he viciously punted Chris Jericho, causing him to be taken to a near by medical facility and leaving him out indefinitely. Well have an update on Jerichos condition later in the show, the actions Orton certainly riled one superstar backstage, a close friend of Chris Jerichos, BOOKER T! Booker was not shy in speaking out against The Legend Killer during the week on WWE.com and tonight GM Paul Heyman has booked Randy Orton versus Booker T as our Main Event under NO DISQUALIFICATIONS!!!
Thankfully, Cole finally shuts up when hes interrupted by...
The fans explode as the music of The United States Champion; Matt Hardy makes his way out. With his gold strapped around his waist, Matt throws up the V1 symbol, which most of the fans reciprocate as The Champion makes his way down the aisle enthusiastically, looking ready to go.
Michael Cole:
This is a big match for Matt Hardy. Mr Kennedy has had the wood over him in recent weeks and certainly has all the momentum heading into this match.
Thank you Captain Obvious.
A solid amount of heat emanates from the fans as the loudmouth Mr Kennedy swaggers arrogantly down to the ring. Ignoring the fans and gesturing to Hardy that the gold will soon be around his waist, Kennedy then slides under the bottom rope and into the ring before holding his hand to the roof, as his personal microphone drops from the ceiling.
Mr Kennedy:
I weigh in toni...
Suddenly the arena then explodes as Matt Hardy comes flying in from behind Kennedy and clubs him across the back, dropping him to the canvas in one foul swoop and the bell rings, signifying the match is underway!
Match 1
Singles Match; United States Championship
Matt Hardy (c) v Mr Kennedy
Not surprisingly, Hardy and Kennedy put on an entertaining match up with several counters and near falls. Neither man though, is able to garner a clear cut advantage during the match, with the momentum swinging back and forward numerous times. Matt is currently in control of his challenger, with Kennedy sat up in the corner, eating some hard right hands before he is whipped off the ropes. KK bounces back but he runs straight into a reverse elbow from Hardy, sending him plummeting to the mat! Wasting no time, the US Champion quickly climbs to the middle turnbuckle and lets out a loud yell while throwing up the V1 symbol again with both hands before he then leaps off looking for a Diving Elbow Drop... BUT KENNEDY GETS HIS BOOT UP IN THE FACE OF MATT HARDY!!! The fans react indifferently as Hardy staggers backwards, his head in his hands while Kennedy quickly gets to his feet and adds further insult to injury; nailing Hardy with a DDT! The challenger quickly hooks the leg! 1... 2... NO!
Hardy kicks out to a big pop but Kennedy surprisingly doesnt let it fluster him as he gets a clutch of the Champions hair and pulls him up to his feet and then sends him into the ropes again, as Hardy shoots back, Kennedy goes for a clothesline... but Matt ducks under it! Kennedy turns to face Matt again but is met with a kick to the gut! Kennedy curls over as the Champion looks to set up for the Twist of Fate... but Kennedy manages to weasel out of it and he pushes Hardy into the ropes again before catching him in an inside cradle! 1... 2... NO! Hardy kicks out and springs straight up to his feet but Kennedy is already up and he drills Matt with a hard right hand. Matt staggers backward a few steps before responding with a right of his own... but its blocked by Kennedy! Double K then sets Hardy up for the MIC CHECK!!! BUT HARDY COUNTERS INTO A SIDE EFFECT!!! The fans pop huge as Matt throws his arms out wide and gestures for Kennedy to get back to his feet. After a few seconds of constant chants of HARDY... HARDY... HARDY! Kennedy gets back to his vertical base and walks straight into a kick to the gut... BUT HE CATCHES MATTS FOOT! The crowd lets out a collective groan as Kennedy then goes for a step over Windmill Kick but Hardy ducks that too! Kennedy then stumbles slightly, losing his balance just long enough for Hardy to apply an inverted front face lock and then NAIL THE TWIST OF FATE!!! The fans pop huge as Hardy hooks the leg! 1... 2... 3!! ITS OVER!!
Winner & STILL United States Champion: Matt Hardy @ 14:30
hits to a huge ovation as Hardy is handed his Championship belt by the referee. Knowing that hes been in a battle and has come very close to losing his title, Matt wearily holds his title up to the crowd before taking a final glance down at Mr Kennedy and exiting the ring.
Michael Cole:
Matt Hardy did it! He has beaten Mr Kennedy and managed to hold on to his treasured United States Championship belt!
What a match, Cole! I think thats one o the best matches weve seen on SmackDown this year! Mr Kennedy and Matt Hardy have lifted the bar big time here and the rest of the show have a hell of a lot to follow after this match, man!
We get a final shot of Matt Hardy celebrating at the top of the aisle, holding his title up in the air, looking very pleased with the result as we head to a commercial.
We return from commercial and fortunately we not greeted by the horrid voice of Michael Cole, instead we are met by the equally unpleasant voice of Bill Goldberg. As angry, and ridiculous as ever, The Berg gets right up close to the camera, roaring with intensity. Goldberg runs down Kurt Angle for a moment, telling him that he should be thanking Shawn Michaels for kicking him in the face last week because if he hadnt thered be no telling what he wouldve done. He tells Kurt that he wants him and he wants his title, he proved last week that hes better than him and now all he has to do is take his title to add an exclamation mark! He then addresses Shawn Michaels, telling him to stay the hell out of his business. He says he will be getting a title shot against Kurt Angle very soon and he will not be letting Michaels get in the way of it. Goldberg challenges Michaels to a match next week and he says that after hes done kickin the crap out of the Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels will never stick his nose in anyone elses business again!
The fans let out a generic yawn as Goldberg finally gets off our screen and the camera pans back out to ringside where we get another horrendous shot of Michael Cole. Man, I cant wait for the day Big Show lands on that guy.
Michael Cole:
Welcome back to SmackDown ladies and gentlemen and Tazz, that first match was certainly a great way to kick the night off!
Damn skippy, man. Mr Kennedy sure put up a hell of a fight!
With that said, a minimal amount of heat emits from the arena as...
The Mexican Warrior, Chavo Guerrero makes his way out, taunting the crowd in his usual fashion. Chavo strolls down the aisle, ignoring the heckling of the fans, simply laughing at them, which apparently irritates them even more. Guerrero eventually arrives at ringside and climbs up the ring steps and enters the ring, joining his partners who are already in the ring, Doug & Danny The Basham Brothers.
Chavito lookin confident tonight, Cole!
With Guerrero inside the ring now, the music of Jamie Noble blasts out over the PA System. Similar to Chavo, Noble doesnt draw a big reaction from the fans because theyre simply too stupid to realise how fuckin awesome he is. Jamie swaggers down the aisle, looking as pissed off as ever but at the same time, focused on the job at hand.
Michael Cole:
Jamie Noble, lookin like hes got a point to prove tonight!
The fans pop a little as the music of the Cruiserweight Champion, Paul London hits, but the crowds ovation grows louder when the popular Brian Kendrick runs out by his side. The two sprint quickly down the aisle and slide into the ring, forcing the heels to back out of the ring. The duo immediately ascend the camera side turnbuckles and quickly fly off, each performing Moonsaults/Backflips type things and land on their feet in the ring, effectively waking the fans from a mini slumber.
The fans leap to their feet, as the music of the WWE Tag Team Champions, James Storm and Chris Harris; Americas Most Wanted hits. The champions make their way down the aisle with their belts strapped around their waists. AMW slide into the ring, slap hands with London & Kendrick before unhooking their belts and holding them up proudly for all to see.
Match 2
8 Man Tag Team Match
Brian Kendrick,
Cruiserweight Champion;
Paul London &
WWE Tag Team Champions;
James Storm & Chris Harris
Jamie Noble, Chavo Guerrero & The Basham Brothers
This match turns out to be a bit of a clusterfuck, with the four cruiserweights given plenty of ring time. The ring is currently occupied by Paul London and Chavo Guerrero. London is in total control of Chavo, nailing such moves as a Springboard Crossbody, a Superkick and a jumping heel kick enzuigiri. With Chavo on his last legs, hes whipped off the ropes and when he bounces back hes nailed with a Standing Dropkick by the Cruiserweight Champion! The fans pop big as he begins to climb to the top rope and sets up for the 450 Splash! BUT JAMIE NOBLE STORMS THE RING AND PUSHES HIM OFF THE TURNBUCKLE!! Noble is then thwarted by Brian Kendrick and James Storm as they both mob him, following his interference. Doug Basham rushes the ring to even things up a little while Chavo Guerrero manages to crawl over to his corner and tag in Danny Basham! Basham goes straight out and brings Paul London back into the ring while the referee tries to bring some order back to the match. The brawl surges to the outside while Basham whips London into the ropes... BUT HES CLOSE ENOUGH FOR HARRIS TO MAKE THE BLIND TAG WHICH GOES UNNOTICED BY BASHAM! Basham drills London with a Clothesline as he shoots off the ropes and he immediately turns around, apparently about to taunt the fans but he turns right into a SPINNING SPINEBUSTER FROM CHRIS HARRIS!!! 1... 2... 3!
Winners: Paul London, Brian Kendrick, James Storm & Chris Harris @ 8:34
The fans explode as Harris rolls off Danny Basham as
hits and Harris and his team celebrates with his opponents all on the outside looking quite pissed off. Chavo nursing a sore head, and the other Basham down clutching his head while Jamie Noble backs up the aisle just shaking his head.
Michael Cole:
The fan favourites, pickin up the win here tonight! Weve had a great start to the evening, Tazz, with two great matches!
For sure man, and up next weve got the debut of Harry Smith!
The camera then pans backstage to find Harry Smith, walking in a hallway, presumably towards the ring, ready to wrestle, with a suited up William Regal in toe.
We return back to the arena to find Hardcore Holly in the ring awaiting his opponent, looking as focused and intense as ever but the real talking point here is the fact that this nub is still employed.
Michael Cole:
Welcome back to Thursday night SmackDown! Its been a great night thus far and its about to get a whole lot better as you can see there, the veteran Hardcore Holly is awaiting the arrival of the exciting young, Harry Smith!
I cant wait to see Smith go, man. You cant have such good family genes and not be talented. This dude has the bloodlines of Davey Boy Smith, Owen Hart, Bret Hart and of course the legendary Stu Hart running through his veins!
The fans pop quite loudly at first as the popular theme hits but it quickly dies down as Harry Smith smugly makes his way out with Regal following close behind with a sly grin on his face. Dressed in trunks with the British flag on the back, Smith makes his way down just smirking at Hardcore Holly arrogantly. Smith slides into the ring and stares at Holly and just as Hardcore steps towards Harry, William Regal steps in and shows his right fist to him, which is covered by a set of shiny gold knuckle dusters (brass knux, whatever the fuck you want to call them). Holly stares a hole through Regal as Smith throws his arms up proudly, taunting the fans.
Match 3
Singles Match
Hardcore Holly v Harry Smith
w/ William Regal
Both Holly and Smith manage to get in a solid amount of offence throughout the match with neither being able to take the upper hand until Holly manages to keep Harry caught up in a corner, nailing right hand after right before he whips him off the ropes. Smith shoots back and looks to catch Hardcore off guard with a clothesline but Holly ducks right underneath it! Smith turns to face Holly again and he quickly hoists him up for the ALABAMA SLAM!!! With Smith up on his shoulders, Holly goes to complete the move but Smith manages to shift his weight and slide off just as William Regal climbs up on the apron at ringside, drawing the attention of the referee! LOW BLOW! SMITH DRILLS HOLLY RIGHT IN THE NUTS!!! The fans dump heat on the baby bulldog as he drags Holly up to his feet and sends him reeling into the ropes. Hardcore hits the ropes hard and bounces back, straight into a BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX!!! Smith smiles a little while Regal shouts something at him Harry wrenches Holly to his feet before hoisting him up for a delayed VERTICAL SUPLEX! Showing immense strength, even drawing a sound of awe from the crowd as Smith holds Holly up in the air for a few seconds before eventually drilling him with A BRAIN BUSTER!! Instead of the moving being a delayed Vertical Suplex, Smith drills the BRAIN BUSTER!!! Refusing to go for the cover, Harry brings Holly to his feet and throws him off the ropes to which he follows up by nailing an impressive Single Leg Running Dropkick! The fans gasp again as Smith drags Holly up again and immediately hoists him up on his shoulder before NAILING THE RUNNING POWERSLAM PAYING HOMAGE TO HIS FATHER!! Smith proudly hooks the leg! 1... 2... 3! Its over!
Winner: Harry Smith @ 7:23
Smith slowly gets back to his feet as
hits, standing over the fallen Hardcore Holly as Regal clambers into the ring under the bottom rope and holds his arm up to the fans for all to see. Regal just looks down at the fallen body of Hardcore Holly, looking like he was about to take to him with his Brass Knux but he just shrugs his shoulders, apparently thinking better of it and just leaving the ring with his protégée, garnering quite a decent amount of heat.
Michael Cole:
Wow. That was certainly a very impressive showing from young Harry Smith, Tazz!
Indeed it was, Cole. Harry Smith is the real deal man, and with Regal by his side, he will be hard to stop. I wonder if this victory for Harry Smith was enough of an impact to satisfy what Booker T had to say last week?
The camera then heads backstage to find Randy Orton walking down a hall. The fans dump a tonne of heat upon on The Legend Killer until he suddenly comes face to face with... THE BIG SHOW!! The fans pop for Show, as he gets right into Randys face.
Big Show:
Randy... I want to squash you like a bug for what you did to Chris Jericho last week, but luckily for you, Im gonna leave that to Booker T tonight.
Orton goes to speak but Show shuts him up.
Big Show:
Next week... or the week after... you might not be so lucky.
Show stares a hole through Orton for a moment before Randy just puts his head down
We return from commercial and immediately head backstage to find Steve Romero standing by with none other than... SHAWN MICHAELS! The fans pop big for HBK and he immediately addresses Goldbergs challenge. Shawn reminds us (and mainly Goldberg) that what he said last week about not comin to SmackDown to steal other peoples title shots was true. He said hes not here to step on anyones toes, he continues in saying that he accepts Goldbergs challenge so next week, for the FIRST... TIME... EVER, it will be Bill Goldberg versus The Heartbreak Kid... Shawn Michaels! Shawn ends the promo saying that maybe, just maybe, when hes done beating Goldberg, he might lay claim a title shot.
The camera then pans back out to the arena, and thankfully were not subjected to hearing Michael Coles voice instead...
The fans explode as the music of Jeff Hardy hits. Hardy makes his way out enthusiastically despite his loss last week to Mr Kennedy, he still looks confident. Hardy sets off his pyro display before making his way down the aisle, slapping hands with the fans along the way.
Michael Cole:
This is a big opportunity tonight for Jeff Hardy to get back on the winners list after his loss for Mr Kennedy last week.
The fans jubilation then turns to dismay as the familiar music of John Bradshaw Layfield hits to an extremely unpleasant reaction from the Minnesota fans. Bradshaws white stretch limo rolls out to the ring as the man himself clambers out with his trademark white towel draped over his shoulders and his cowboy hat sat neatly atop his head. Bradshaw removes the hat and holds it up to the fans happily, generating even more heat as he strolls down to the ring.
Match 4
Singles Match
Jeff Hardy v John Bradshaw Layfield
Jeff and JBL both get in a solid amount of offence with both men looking good but neither gets any decisive advantage until Hardy managed to nail a reverse mule kick to Bradshaw out of no where. Hardy manages to dominate JBL for a short time after nailing two reverse elbows and a standing leg drop. As JBL gets back to his feet following the leg drop, Hardy shoots off the ropes and as he comes back he flies at Bradshaw looking for a cross body... BUT HES CAUGHT BY JBL! BRADSHAW ROCKS BACK AND NAILS THE LAST CALL! Jeff flies half way across the ring and hits the canvas hard as Bradshaw stalks him momentarily before bouncing off the ropes and nailing CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL AS SOON AS HE GOT BACK TO HIS FEET! Bradshaw hooks Jeffs far leg and puts both feet on the ropes for extra leverage. 1... 2... 3!
Winner: John Bradshaw Layfield @ 7:34
hits again to a massive amount of heat as the referees raises JBLs arm as he gets back to his feet before heading to the edge of the ring, demanding a microphone.
Cut the music... CUT THE DAMN MUSIC!
Huge heat.
Last week... I was the victim of a great injustice!
More heat.
I had Kurt Angle... The World Heavyweight Champion, on the ropes... I had him all but...
Chants of ANGLE... ANGLE... ANGLE begin.
That is until... that psychotic moron, Bill Goldberg decided to involve himself in
match and cost me
title shot.
Heat again.
Take this as your one and only warning, Bill.
(Growing more emotional and intense)
If you
interfere in
business again, it is
that will be next! Not Kurt Angle... Not Shawn Michaels... Not JBL... NOT ANYONE ELSE... BUT YOU!
Mixed reaction for the Goldberg bagging.
I promise you, Bill.
you ever cost me a title match again, I
personally ensure that it is the last thing you
Another big mixed reaction.
As if the involvement of this ignoramus wasnt enough, once he was done... Shawn Michaels decides to rear his ugly head, play some mind games with Kurt Angle and with Goldberg and then all but declare his intentions of winning the World Championship!
Big pop.
Well... I got some news for yall.
am the
Number 1 Contender and I demand my title opportunity next week that was stolen from me by Goldberg and Shawn Michaels!
Massive heat.
should be facing Kurt Angle in the Main Event tonight, ONE... ON ONE for the World Heavyweight Championship, but
here I am, taking on nobodies like Jeff Hardy.
More heat for the Hardy bagging.
So, Paul Heyman, I know youre listenin back there, all you need do now is come on out and grant me a title shot
JBL pauses again as the fans boo him some more.
Come on Paul, I kno...
The fans erupt as Bradshaw is cut off by the music of Paul Heyman. The cheers soon turn to heat as the fans remember that they actually dont like Heyman either but theyre just happy that Bradshaw has finally shut the fuck up. Heyman struts out on stage in a suit with his baseball cap on and microphone in hand, immediately addressing JBL.
SO, BRADSHAW! You
I grant you a title shot next week, huh?
Youre damn...
Okay... fine.
Bradshaws face lights up as the fans boo the fuck out of Heyman for apparently making this decision.
NEXT WEEK! RIGHT HERE ON SMACKDOWN! It will be... ONE ON ONE... John Bradshaw Layfield versus...
Heyman pauses as JBL stares at the GM in eager anticipation.
The fans piss themselves laughing at JBLs jaw hits the floor before he mouths NO! Thats the wrong title!
hits against as Heyman just shows that he couldnt give a fuck about JBLs displeasure as he exits to the back.
Michael Cole:
WOW! What an announcement! JBL certainly didnt expect that one, Tazz!
When we return, a video hype package airs, and it's of the Straight Edge Superstar, CM Punk! The video basically summarizes Punk's life and career up to date and includes shots of him in action then finally, it states that hes coming to SmackDown, in two weeks, from his home town of CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
Instead of the camera heading back to ringside, it heads backstage again to find a dejected looking Mr Kennedy walking past a series of doors. Kennedy then reaches a door labelled SHAWN MICHAELS, which draws a big pop from the crowd.
Mr Kennedy:
He even gets his
own change room
Kennedy sighs and continues on his way as the camera then heads to another location backstage to find Randy Orton again, this time he comes face to face with Rey Mysterio. Rey stands right up in Ortons face (well as much as physically possible). Shaking with intensity, Rey goes to speak but changes his mind at the last minute and turns his back on Orton, walking away and shaking his head.
Michael Cole:
Randy Orton is clearly not popular backstage tonight, Tazz. Rey couldnt even bring himself to speak to him.
I got a feelin that Randy and Rey might cross paths over the next few weeks. I think Rey might be out for redemption, following what Orton did to his good friend.
A solid amount of heat pours out of the fans as The Fighting Irishman, Fit Finlay, emerges from the curtain and the man himself strolls down the aisle with a scowl on his face. Ignoring the fans taunts, thus irritating them even more, Finlay climbs in the ring and awaits his opponent.
Michael Cole:
Finlay certainly has a golden opportunity tonight to elevate himself right up the pecking order here on SmackDown!
Why is that, you ask? Well the answer is simple.
The room blows off the arena as the music of the World Heavyweight Champion, Kurt Angle hits. Dressed in his traditional attire, Kurt makes his way out and sets off his impressive pryo display. Angle swaggers down the aisle with the fans in full voice, cheering him on. He climbs into the ring and immediately unhooks his title, holding it up in the face of Finlay before the bell rings.
Michael Cole:
If Finlay can do tonight, what JBL couldnt last week, it will certainly be one of the biggest upsets weve seen on SmackDown this year!
Damn straight, Cole. One has to wonder though, will Bill Goldberg play a part in this match?
Match 5
Singles Match; Non Title
World Heavyweight Champion;
Kurt Angle v Finlay
As one would expect, Kurt and Finlay put on a very technical style based match. Kurt dominates Finlay for the most part, but the Irishman manages to hold his own for some time as well. The momentum looked to swing in Finlays favour though, when he raked the eyes of Angle and then went to bring his Shillelagh but the referee immediately thwarts any attempt to do so, seising the opportunity with the referee having his back turned, Finlay catches Angle with a thumb to the eye again and attempts to follow up with a Short Arm Clothesline but Angle ducks underneath it and immediately goes behind Finlay, wrenching his arms and nailing a GERMAN SUPLEX!!! Finlay flies across the ring and bounces back up to his feet, straight into an ANGLE SLAM!!!!! The fans pop huge as Angle pulls his straps down off his shoulders and lets out a roar of intensity before slapping on THE ANKLE LOCK!!! From there, its purely elementary for Finlay as he taps out merely seconds after the move being applied!!!!
Winner: Kurt Angle @ 6:02
hits again as Angle immediately throws Finlays leg away following the bell ringing and he then goes and requests a microphone from ringside, similar to JBL after the previous match.
Kurt wastes no time, immediately directing his attention towards Shawn Michaels. He says hes beaten Michaels before, and hell beat him again, so it doesnt matter whether he intends to challenge him or not. He then addresses the fact that HBK made the save for him last week, by saying Thanks... but no thanks. Angle then goes on to Goldberg, he calls him gutless and a coward. He tells Goldberg to get his ass out to the ring and face him like a man, face to face. After another minute or so of berating and waiting on Goldberg, Angle closes by saying that he knew he was right. Goldberg IS a coward.
Michael Cole:
Strong words from Kurt Angle, clearly Goldberg hit a nerve last week.
The camera then pans backstage to find William Regal and Harry Smith, suited up and leaving the arena, bags in hand.
William Regal:
Well young lad... that was a successful first outing. You certainly made an impact. Now... we celebrate!
Harry Smith:
That sounds bloo...
Smith stops half way through the sentence as Regal suddenly turns on his heel and walks back towards the arena mumbling an impact as Smith throws his arms out wide in a WTF type motion.
William Regal:
Cmon, Harry! Ill explain on the way, weve got one more thing to do tonight!
Michael Cole:
One can only wonder what William Regal is up to backstage. Well ladies and gentlemen, up next, our Main Event, during the week, Booker T made comments to wwe.com expression his disgust at the actions of Randy Orton last week towards Chris Jericho. Tonight we have Booker T v Randy Orton one on one in a NO DISQUALIFICATION MATCH
We return from Friday Night SmackDown and head straight into a video package recap of the events last week between Randy Orton and Chris Jericho.

The fans dump immense heat on Orton as he stands over Jericho, apparently refusing to make the cover just yet, simply laughing shallowly. Orton then drops down in a push up position and pumps himself up and down on the canvas over the top of Jericho, yelling I TOLD YOU CHRIS... GIVE UP ON THE FANs, THEYRE NOT WORTH YOUR CAREER! Orton gets back up to his feet as Rey Mysterio makes his way back in to the ring and he charges straight towards Randy Orton, but TLK is one step ahead of him and he leap frogs over him, showing fantastic agility as Mysterio stops in his tracks, apparently a little surprised at how agile Orton is but unfortunately for Rey he turns right into another DEVESTATING RKO!!!! The fans boo the fuck out of Orton again as he bounces straight up to his feet with his sick smile on his face.

Jericho falls in a heap, back on the canvas and starts to convulse from the immense pain, otherwise showing no signs of life. A fear grows across the face of the referee, as he immediately throws the match out!
Later on...
We see the EMTs in the ring, treating Chris Jericho while Rey Mysterio is still on his knees, trying to help, clearly very concerned for the well-being of his friend as the EMTs strap him onto a back board before sliding Y2J slowly out of the ring and securing him on the stretcher and then wheeling him up the aisle while than fans let out a generous applause and a small Y2J chant.
Last in the night...
We see footage of Chris Jericho strapped to a stretched, wearing a neck brace as hes being wheeled towards an ambulance vehicle. The camera then zooms out to see a sadistic looking RANDY ORTON, watching the developments from a distance. Orton watches as the stretcher stops just short of the ambulance as the medics prepare to carefully slide him on to the back of the vehicle when suddenly begins to move towards the vehicle... and the lifeless Jericho! The medics notice that hes coming and attempt to thwart his arrival but The Legend Killer simply swats one off and then throws another one on to a near-by table as he the stands over the still unconscious and motionless Chris Jericho, staring at his lifeless face.
Randy Orton:
(Intensely)I TOLD YOU CHRIS
... you shouldve listened to me last week! The moment you put me in The Walls of Jericho, things got a lot worse for you... and as long as you keep respecting and appreciating your fans... your
... you will
win another Championship belt in the WWE.
The fans boo Orton massively.
Randy Orton:
couldve prevented this easily Chris. I
, if nothing else, I kicked some sense into you tonight.
The fans boo the video package as it ends but the camera then heads backstage and Booker T appears on the screen to a deafening ovation. In a very intense fashion, Booker runs down Orton and his actions last week towards Jericho. He says Ortons punt to Jericho was the most cowardly thing hes ever seen. He says tonight is about Redemption in defence of his friend, Chris Jericho, he tells Orton that tonight hes gonna see a side of the 5 time... 5 time... 5 time... 5 time... 5 time WCW Champion, that hes never seen before!
The camera quickly heads back to the arena to find Michael Cole and Tazz at ringside.
Michael Cole:
What could Booker T mean, Tazz? Were gonna see a whole new side to him?
Im not sure Cole, but Randy Orton better be on his game tonight!
The fans explode as Booker T made his way out, without his usual up-beat antics. Booker makes his way out, still looking intense and focused, neglecting to set off his pyro, Booker heads down to the ring, climbing in, under the bottom rope.
Michael Cole:
Booker T certainly looks focused on the job at hand tonight!
The fans unload with an unbelievable amount of heat as the sadistic Randy Orton steps through the curtain and out on to the stage. As Orton gets closer to the ring, the heat grows louder and Booker becomes visibly even more intense, shouting at Orton, breathing deeply while Orton remains motionless, with the same sick, demonic on his face. RKO slithers into the ring, under the bottom rope, coming face to face with Booker immediately.
Michael Cole:
Look at the hate in the eyes of Booker T, I havent seen this side of him in a long time, Tazz.
Match 6
Singles Match; No Disqualifications
Booker T v Randy Orton
Booker and Orton put on a brutal encounter with all sorts of savage spots with the crowd insanely hot for it. Their hatred for Orton was clearly evident with their heat immense anytime he mounted any sort of offence, while whenever Booker managed to get on to the attack, they were on their feet at their loudest.
The duo are currently situated on the outside, with Booker laid hard up against the guard rail and Orton nailing him with multiple right hands. He then acts promptly, whipping Booker straight into the steel turnbuckle, busting him open! With blood trickling from his forehead, Booker staggers backward, right into Randy Orton who immediately nails him with an Inverted Backbreaker, right across his knee! Smiling sadistically, Orton wrenches Bookers hair causing him to scream in pain before he throws him back first, into the commentators table! Cole, the pussy, scatters quickly screaming OH MY! OH MY! like the homo that he is, while Tazz gets up fairly casually as Orton rolls the motionless Booker on to the table.
Instead of climbing straight on to the table as well, Orton goes and retrieves a steel chair from over near Tony Chimel and carries it back over towards the table, laying it down near Bookers head before climbing up on to the table as well. Randy slowly brings Booker up to his feet and immediately goes to nail the RKO! BUT BOOKER BLOCKS IT AND PUSHES HIM AWAY TO A HUGE POP! Somehow, Randy manages to maintain his balance on the table and stays standing and immediately turns back to Booker, attempting a clothesline on top of the announcers table, but BOOKER DUCKS UNDERNEATH IT AND NAILS THE BOOK END, DRIVING HIM RIGHT THROUGH THE ANNOUNCE TABLE!!!
The fans pop huge again as both men crash and burn through the table, leaving it in a million pieces at ringside! After well over a minute, maybe even two, Booker finally begins to stir, climbing up to his feet slowly and bringing Orton with him. Book walks Randy over towards the ring and rolls him straight in, under the bottom rope. Booker then retrieves a garbage (TRASH) can that Randy had left in the ring earlier and lays it down near where Orton lies before performing... THE SPINEROONI!!!!
The fans go nuts again for Booker as he spins around the ring like a moron before getting up to his feet again all the while Orton begins to stir, slowly getting back to his feet. Now back on a vertical base, Booker immediately runs towards the ropes while Orton gets back up to his feet, but still remains arched over. Booker bounces off the ropes and charges back towards Randy Orton, presumably looking to finish him off with the Scissors Kick... but just when hes about to wind up...HES DRILLED WITH A SHOT TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD COURTESY OF A PAIR OF BRASS KNUX BEING BRANDISHED BY NONE OTHER THAN...
With Harry Smith in tow, to immense heat, Regal smiles smugly as Booker staggers backward, his head in his hands, still surprisingly on his feet although now bleeding more profusely, with blood dripping through his hands. Seemingly not knowing where hes at, Booker turns around, into a savage RKO FROM RANDY ORTON DRILLING HIM DOWN ON TOP OF THE GARBAGE CAN HE SET UP EARLIER, ADDING FURTHER INSULT TO INJURY! The referee can do nothing but simply look on as Orton falls on top of Booker to make the cover. 1... 2... 3! Its over!
Winner: Randy Orton @ 15:34
hits to immense heat as Orton doesnt even as much as draw a smile as he just rolls out of the ring arrogantly, ignoring the fans as he just slithers up the aisle, not even casting a glance at William Regal or Harry Smith. As Orton gets to the top of the aisle his music cuts out as their appears to be action in the ring again, as Regal is directing traffic as Harry Smith grabs Booker by a clutch of his hair and he quickly hoists him up on his shoulder and drills the already crippled Booker T with a RUNNING POWERSLAM!!!!!
Regal then calls for a microphone from Tony fat **** Chimel.
William Regal:
Theres your bloody impact!
Regal looks to leave the ring but he then changes his mind and drops down to humiliates Booker even more, nailing him with the microphone! The fans dump a tonne of heat upon Regal and Smith as the duo slowly make their way out of the ring, snarling.
Michael Cole:
This must have been what William Regal was talking about backstage earlier, Tazz!
Oh really, Michael? Youre a fucking genius.
Michael Cole:
Clearly the words of Booker T last week worried William Regal more than he let on.
Smith and Regal slowly walk up the aisle, ignoring the fans as Booker remains motionless in the ring.
Michael Cole:
Well tonight, Bookers attention has quickly turned from an issue he has with one superstar to another issue, hes going to have with another superstar nex... HOLD ON! WERE GETTING WORD THAT SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED BACKSTAGE!
Yes, WWE goes all TNA as the camera heads backstage frenetically and it heads into a room, past a door with the name plate of SHAWN MICHAELS. As soon as the camera gets inside the room it finds a bloodied and battered Shawn Michaels on the floor. A gasp of shock emits from the fans as the camera zooms in on Shawn, blood slowly dripping from his mouth.
Michael Cole:
What the hell is going on here?!
Officials and Road Agents rush into the room, coming to Michaels aid. Paul Heyman even makes his way in, looking concerned. After a close inspection of Michaels current state from Heyman, the GM addresses the room.
Paul Heyman:
Theres any number of people that couldve been the cause of this... someone get Bill Goldberg in my office. Thats probably a good place to start.
Michael Cole:
Damn right Bill Goldberg would be a good place to start! Seems to me like hes trying to get an early advantage ahead of the big match next week until then, ladies and gentlemen, its goodnight, see you next week when Bill Goldberg is scheduled go one on one with Shawn Michaels, but given this heinous assault, that match up must now be in jeopardy!
SmackDown fades to black with Paul Heyman running his right hand through his hair, looking down at the motionless body of Shawn Michaels, while some agents scurry out the door behind him.

It's not exactly the OS (though some of it it) but for me personally, it's the fact they're more expensive (the parts) and they offer even less performance. It's kinda sad...
The fact that you can and HAVE to dual boot windows on a mac for some programs is kinda sad too.

Heh, bumsluck has his post deleted and now it makes me look like the ass. Convenient.
Doesn't matter though, my Mac is good enough, and only cost me a few hundred more then a PC of equivalent specs. I know, I did the math before I made the purchase. I know I could have spent a lot less on Newegg and built my machine myself, but A, I have money and can afford it, and B, I wouldn't have a system warranty. I knew that if something went wrong with one of those components I could just replace it myself, but then I'd be forced to use Windows. The extra cash goes towards backing the computer by AppleCare, which means I get to deal with some of the best technical support should anything go wrong with my comp. Also, I much prefer Leopard to anything by Microsoft, so it is just a standard that I have for my OS. Anyone who thinks system A is better then System B is a moron. They both do the same thing, they just look and operate differently.
To any of you who think I feel like an elitist because of my computer preference, I could care less what you think. My computer runs, it doesn't crash, it does what I need it to do. That's all I care about.

Technically you are correct, yes certain things won't run on Mac that does on windows, but if I need something that runs solely on windows that I cannot find a replacement for on my mac, then Ill cut my partition and run Boot Camp.

On topic - Yes, Minecraft has a launcher for OSX, so you can definitely play Minecraft on a Mac.
And about the mac vs pc debate, I have a few points:
1 - Operating systems aren't exclusive to certain brands. Both PCs and Macs can dual-boot both OSX and Windows 7 or whatever you like (Linux for example).
2 - Yes, Apple does have good service within their warranty, but realize the standard coverage is only 1-year and it costs an additional $349.00 to extend it another 2 years. Compare that to say, a Dell (1 year + $149.00 for additional 3 years) or ASUS (1~3 year standard on laptops, depending on the model, no extra cost.)
3 - The price for a Mac has about a $1,000 premium for the brand and design, as far as I can tell. Example:
Macbook Pro 15" (early 2011 model) - $2,550 (with promo co... oh yeah, Apple doesn't offer any promo codes).
Processor: Intel i7 quad-core (2720QM) 2.2GHz
Memory: 8GB
Display: Upgraded to HD Matte (1440x900)
Video: Radeon 6750M 1GB
Battery: up to 7 hours
Weight: 5.6 pounds
Keyboard: Back-lit Chic style.
Dell XPS 15 (l502x) - $1,450 (with nearly $500 off in promo codes and stuff)
Processor: Intel i7 quad-core (2720QM) 2.2GHz
Memory: 8GB
Display: HD (1920x1080)
Video: Nvidia GeForce 540M 2GB
Battery: up to 4~5 hours on 6-cell.
Weight: 5.9 pounds w/ 6-cell battery.
Keyboard: Back-lit Chic style.
So yeah, you tell me. Apple does have solid build quality and does look sleek, but is it worth the $1,000 premium? and some PC laptops have very sleek and light yet sturdy designs as well these days.
But in the end no matter what you get, you'll be able to run Minecraft.

Miracle Paint has valiantly shown the vast price difference in Macs vs other laptops. That's fine and dandy, but even a hardcore Apple fanboy such as myself knows that Apple overprices the laptops worse then anything else. I purchased a desktop with near top-of-the-line best offered specs you can get, and paid about half that price tag.
Even mac guys know that they are getting jipped when they buy a laptop from Apple. =D

NOW I Am Independent
NOW I Am Independent
Give Where Needed Most
Your gift could mean the difference between a family barely surviving and truly thriving.
Aquicklinah Njivah recalls a time when there wasn't much for her family — or anyone else in her town of Komorai, Zimbabwe — to be hopeful about. "Other people laughed at her," says her son Nysha, "because she had nothing."
One day, a friend, who was chairwoman of a local women's group, told Aquicklinah about a project started by Heifer International. She was hesitant at first, but her friend was persuasive, so she decided to visit the group. After seeing what her friend said was true, she decided to join the project. She received her heifer at a Passing on the Gift® ceremony from her neighbor. "There was a great celebration," she said. "I was happy and could see my life was now good."
Aquicklinah now has enough milk for her family's nutrition, enough produce to sell for income, enough money for her children's education, and enough resources to reinvest in the farm she shares with her husband and build a new home.
Best of all: now she is the one encouraging others to participate. Women in her village have seen what she accomplished and want to join. They have shown through this project that they can plow, tend the animals and manage their farms as small businesses that can provide steady food and income for their families. Aquicklinah shares her newfound expertise with others — even the people who once laughed at her because of her poverty now come to her to learn, and she is happy to share with them.
Thanks to determined women like Aquicklinah and the helping hands of Heifer donors like you, stunning transformations are unfolding around the world. The importance of successes of the women of the world cannot be understated, for both their families and the global community. Closing the gender gap could mean reducing worldwide hunger by up to 17 percent. And that's why we are asking you to make a special gift right now.
Your gift could mean the difference between a family barely surviving and truly thriving. Please help us provide livestock and training to more women farmers today.

Jonathan Papelbon is in the century club.
According to baseball-almanac.com, there is video evidence of his fastball being clocked at 100 m.p.h. during an April 22, 2008 game at Fenway Park. It's a cool accomplishment because there are so few people on this planet who can generate that kind of arm speed.
But velocity is like good looks. Eventually, unless you're a super freak like Nolan Ryan, the speed of a pitcher's fastball is going to decline.
Papelbon, in his second season with the Phillies, decided last year to take that matter into his own hands in an effort to prolong his career.

Inevitably, there will be times when you produce a print from Lightroom and you're not exactly thrilled with how it came out. Maybe it's a little bit too dark. The color might seem off or there's something else not quite right about it. And Lightroom provides some opportunities for you to apply refinements to the image for the print. Of course first you'll want to check your Print settings making sure for example that you're using the correct profile. And perhaps trying the different rendering intent, perceptual versus relative. It's also important that you've set the appropriate printer settings for your specific printer. For example when you're using a particular profile from within Lightroom you'll want to make sure that you've turned off color management in the print driver.
However if the print is still looking for example a little bit too dark or it lacks contrast. You can apply some adjustments in the print job section of the right panel in the print module. To do so you'll want to turn on the Print adjustment check box down toward the bottom and then adjust brightness and contrast. Note that you're not going to see a preview of these adjustments. I'll go ahead and increase brightness for example significantly. And you'll see that there's no change in the preview. So you're not able to get a sense of exactly how much of the adjustment you need, it will take a little bit of trial and error.
But even adjust by small increments. For brightness, I would typically adjust by about 10 point increments as you narrow your way down to a setting that's going to work well. And for contrast, I would generally work with even smaller increments, typically around five at a time. But obviously if the print is off significantly you might need a little bit more. Just bare in mind, if you feel that you need a very strong adjustment here, chances are something else is wrong with your print settings. Another even more powerful capability is found in the Develop module.
I'll switch to the Develop module for this image, and then on the toolbar below the image, I'll turn on the Soft Proofing check box. And that provides me with a preview of what lightroom thinks this image is going to look like when I print it. Once you've turned on Soft Proofing, you need to adjust the output settings. You'll notice that the profile, for example is set to Adobe RGB, which is not a printer profile that I was using. So I'll click on the pop up. And choose the output profile. That I'd already established in the Print module. And you'll notice that I'm getting a red overlay.
Over portions of the image. And that's an indication, that there are out of gamed colors. In other words, some colors in this image simply cannot be printed, by my printer. Based on the printer, ink and paper combination that I'm using. You can try a different rendering intent, perceptual versus relative. I'd typically use Relative color metric because it cause fewer of the colors in the image to be changed. Perceptual though does retain the relationships between colors, and so it's certainly a viable option. I also recommend turning on the simulate paper and ink checkbox. With this option turned off, the image is going to look, frankly, a little better than it will actually look in print.
Because with print we're depending upon reflected light rather than emitted light. So by turning this checkbox I'm getting a better sense of the actual paper and ink effect. For example, if the paper has a little bit of a cream tone to it you'll see that creamy color coming through just a little bit. And if the printer can't produce a pure black, you'll see that the blacks get a little bit lighter. Of course, a key reason to use Soft Proofing is not just to see what the print will look like, but to actually apply refinements to try to make it look even better. If you're going to apply those adjustments, I recommend that you create a proof copy, to create a virtual copy of the image, and use that as the basis of your adjustments. That's because you're making adjustments for a specific print condition, for a specific printer, ink, and paper combination.
If you then use that image in a slide show, the adjustments you've applied are not necessarily going to be good adjustments. In fact, Lightroom will alert you to this if you try to make an adjustment while in the Softproofing mode. I'll increase saturation, for example. And you'll see that I get more colors that are out of gamut, because highly saturated colors are more difficult to print. But as soon as I apply that adjustment, as soon as I release the mouse on the slider, Lightroom suggests that I create a virtual copy. I could also simply click the Create Proof copy button in the Soft Proofing section of the right panel. But since Lightroom is asking, I'll go ahead and click the Create Proof copy button.
That will create a virtual copy of my image and this virtual copy is the one that I will adjust so that I get the best print possible. Generally speaking, you want to ensure the best image obviously, but you also want to make sure that the colors in the image can actually be printed. For example, here I'm trying to produce a very highly saturated image. But my current printer, ink, and paper settings don't allow for highly saturated colors. I'm using a matte paper in this case, for example. If I reduce the saturation, obviously the image won't look as saturated.
But I then don't have any out of gamut colors. Ideally, I want the image to be as saturated as possible. But without any of those out of gamut colors. Of course by applying such a strong adjustment I'm getting all of the colors in gamut but the image doesn't look as good. It doesn't look anywhere near what it looked like previously. And that's because I'm applying a strong adjustment, to the entire image instead of letting Lightroom apply compensation. If I let light room print this image then only the out of gamut colors, I'll reset my saturation adjustment.
Only the out of gamut colors would actually be adjusted everything else will be just as it is. So by reducing saturation overall I'm acutally having a stronger effect than I need to. As a result I don't tend to focus too much energy on reducing out of gamut colors. I might take a look at adding contrast or adjusting overall tonality. Perhaps even adjusting the temperature and tint sliders to impact the color. You can see for example if I warm up the image than fewer colors are out of gamut. I don't necessarily want the image to be warmer.
But this is just an illustration that we can apply a variety of different adjustments in order to get us closer to our ultimate goal. But ultimately, what we're trying to accomplish here is an accurate print, and Lightroom's going to do its best to give us that. I recommend that with soft-proofing, you think more about getting a sense of what that image will look like and less about trying to make adjustments. The printer is always only going to produce colors that are within it's capabilities. And Lightroom and your printer driver combined are going to try to do the best job of producing the best image even when your photo contains colors that the printer can't produce. So think of Soft Proofing first and foremost as a tool for previewing what the print will look like, for troubleshooting issues with that print. And perhaps for applying some minor adjustments to improve the overall appearance of the image in print.

I totally agree. *Equips PED Suit*Originally Posted by Wii_Smurf
Meh. I'm not a fan of Wario, let alone Waluigi. I could care less for the two.
Waluigi is an assist trophy. I'm sure he'll be usefull. As a full on character? I don't think he deserves it. Like what was stated above, Sonic is a legend. Waluigi doesn't even have his own game. If they delayed the game just to add waluigi to the roster, i would be pissed beyond all reason. If it was to add a character the majority of the people in the world knew and recognized, then ok. i can deal.
In short, i could care less about Waluigi's status in the game.

Ok i've said this before and this is why Waluigi is NOT in brawl as a character
Waluigi has only appeared in Mario spinoff games. This leads to believe that his creation was solely on the purpose to give Wario a partner on spinoff games in the same way Mario and Luigi are a team in those.
And if thats not enough look at the games he has been in:
Mario Tennis - Nintendo 64
Mario Power Tennis - Gamecube
Mario Tennis: Power Tour - Game Boy Advance
Mario Party series - Nintendo 64, Gamecube, Wii
Super Mario Strikers - Gamecube
Mario Strikers Charged - Wii
Mario Kart series - Gamecube, DS
Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour - Gamecube
Mario Golf: Advance Tour - Game Boy Advance
Mario Superstar Baseball - Gamecube
Dance Dance Revolution Mario Mix - Gamecube
None of those are even close to be Waluigi based games he's only there to help Wario and be evil agianst Luigi, And anyways he looks like a pedifile

What's good for some can be bad for others, and that maxim was demonstrated again last week with the release of the annual National Health Expenditures analysis.
Though America spent just shy of $2.8 trillion in 2012 on health-care spending, the rate of growth was essentially flat, continuing a four-year trend, according to the study by the federal government's Office of the Actuary, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, published in the journal Health Affairs. That is the longest period of slow or no growth in the 53-year history of the analysis.

Bombs and books on Mutanabbi Street.
The Bookseller's Story, Ending Much Too Soon. Anthony Shadid of the Washington Post writes about Mohammed Hayawi, "a bald bear of a man," who ran the Renaissance Bookstore on "Baghdad's storied Mutanabi Street." Back in 2005, Phillip Robertson wrote a Salon article about Al Mutanabbi Street, "Baghdad's legendary literary cafe, the Shabandar, " and Hajji Qais Anni's stationery store: "Hajji Qais had been on Al Mutanabbi street for 10 years and the vendors all knew him... He wore a beard and was also known as a devout Sunni who had no problem hiring Shia workers or spending time with Christian colleagues." Both Hayawi and Hajji Qais were killed by bombs, the cafe has been gutted, and the street that "embodied a generation-old saying: Cairo writes, Beirut publishes, Baghdad reads" is no longer its old self. "When the Mongols sacked Baghdad in 1258, it was said that the Tigris River ran red one day, black another. The red came from the blood of nameless victims, massacred by ferocious horsemen. The black came from the ink of countless books from libraries and universities. Last Monday, the bomb on Mutanabi Street detonated at 11:40 a.m. The pavement was smeared with blood. Fires that ensued sent up columns of dark smoke, fed by the plethora of paper." Two views of a part of Baghdad that doesn't make the news much.
