And something else. Were there only like 6 celebrities that attended the VMAs last night? All they kept showing was Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, rihanna, Gaga, Will Smith, and his kid. And MTV crowded them all in the same small section. And it sucked whoever was sitting behind Will Smith and Taylor Swift. Those frickers stood up the entire time

Volleyball claims share of HCAC season crown
Transylvania shared the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Association regular season volleyball title with the College of Mount St. Joseph as the Pioneers went 8-1 in conference play and 22-14 overall. It was the third straight year for Transylvania, under head coach Casey Dale, to win outright or share the conference crown.
In the HCAC tournament, Transylvania dispatched Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology 3-2 in the semifinals, then lost 3-0 to Mount St. Joseph in the title game as the Lions claimed the HCAC's automatic bid to the NCAA Division III championship. Mount St. Joseph gave the Pioneers their only conference regular season loss, a 3-1 setback on the Lions' home court.
A highlight of the regular season came when Transylvania hosted the eight-team HCAC-Ohio Athletic Conference Volleyball Challenge in the Beck Center for the first time. The Pioneers were 3-1 during the two-day event, defeating OAC schools Muskingum University, Capital University, and Baldwin-Wallace College. They were also 3-1 in the Elmhurst Invitational, hosted by Elmhurst College in Illinois, with wins over Vassar College, Wheaton University, and Trinity College.
Junior middle blocker Meghan Bowers and first-year setter Sarah Jonas were named to the All-HCAC first team while sophomore libero Erin Hoffmann and sophomore outside hitter Lauren Ketron were honorable mention. Jonas was joined on the All-Freshman team by outside hitter Erin Romito. Bowers led the team with 450 kills while Jonas led in assists with 972. Bowers was also named to the All-Great Lakes Region honorable mention team by the American Volleyball Coaches Association.

What do you think of Demi Lovato's plunging neckline on the red carpet at the Grammy Awards?
We have to say Demi Lovato looked pretty darn sexy on the 12th Annual Latin Grammy Awards red carpet at the Mandalay Bay hotel in Las Vegas Nov. 10. The 19-year-old singer stunned in a fuchsia gown with a plunging neckline that showed off some major cleavage!
Even though she looks fantastic (especially with her new hair!), Demi wasn't so confident going into the day. Yesterday, she tweeted, "You know what sucks? Not getting a spray tan before you leave for the Latin Grammy awards…. #palegirlproblems"
Demi is also singing at the award show, and we cannot wait to see her performance.
What do YOU think of her red carpet ensemble?

Heating Oil Rises as Inventories Decline While Demand Picks Up
Heating oil rose on speculation the lowest seasonal level of U.S. distillate inventories since 2004 may shrink further as demand picks up before winter.
Prices gained as inventories of heating oil and diesel probably fell 275,000 barrels last week, according to the median estimate of 10 analysts in a survey by Bloomberg News. The Energy Department is scheduled to report last week's inventories at 10:30 a.m. tomorrow in Washington. Stockpiles were 123.5 million as of Aug. 3, 19 percent below a year earlier, department data show.
"Heating oil is strong because inventories are so low and winter's coming," said Addison Armstrong, director of market research at Tradition Energy in Stamford, Connecticut. "We've got quite a lot of heating oil we're going to need to make."
Heating oil for September delivery rose 1.63 cents, or 0.5 percent, to settle at $3.0346 a gallon on the New York Mercantile Exchange. (CME)
Recent refinery outages could be contributing to declining inventories, said Phil Flynn, senior market analyst at Price Futures Group in Chicago.
Chevron Corp. (CVX)'s Richmond, California, HollyFrontier Corp. (HFC)'s Tulsa plant and BP Plc (BP/)'s Whiting refinery have reduced production in the past month because of breakdowns.
Less Production
"All of that seems to suggest production of heating oil and diesel is going to be a little less than it should be," Flynn said.
September-delivery gasoline rose 1.07 cents, or 0.4 percent, to $3.0014 a gallon on the exchange.
Inventories probably fell 2 million barrels last week, the median estimate of 10 analysts in a survey by Bloomberg News.
Regular gasoline at the pump, averaged nationwide, rose 1 cent to $3.702 a gallon yesterday, AAA data showed. That's the highest level since May 17. Prices have climbed 37.6 cents since July 1, according to data from the nation's largest motoring organization.

P.S. 197 Holds Virtual Y Flag Football Championships
P.S. 197 Holds Virtual Y Flag Football Championships
The students of Public School 197 in Far Rockaway have been playing flag football since September. Under the direction of Coach Greg Carter, the children have been learning skills, good sportsmanship, and teamwork. Using the YMCA values (caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility) the children have learned what it means to work together safely for a common goal.
The Flag Football program is part of the Virtual Y at P.S. 197. This YMCA After School program is funded by the Cross Island YMCA, The After school Corporation, and Computer Associates. The program is currently serving 127 children, grades K through Five. This five-year-old program is now under the direction of the Y's Senior Site Coordinator, Regina Mitchell.
The Virtual Y program is literacy-based and operates in many schools throughout the metropolitan area under the YMCA's administration and funding sources. The program offers homework help, literacy through art and games, and a wide range of sports and performing arts activities.
Flag football is one of several sports offered to the children of P.S.197. "Although Junior Knicks Basketball will always be a part of our program, the goal this year is to offer sports that these children would normally not be exposed to," said Mitchell. She further stated, "our recent championship game marked the end of the Flag Football season. On November 27, 2002, before a cheering crowd of parents and fellow students, both of our second grade teams and our fourth and fifth grade teams played a spirited game. The children will now move on to Tennis followed by Lacrosse."
The Cross Island YMCA is located at 238-10 Hillside Avenue in Bellerose, Queens. The Virtual Y program in Far Rockaway is one of many offsite programs offered by the Cross Island Y. For more information call 718 479-0505.

Five star home away from home
Spike loves sharing his room with other dogs his size. It's a constant party. The love and care given all dogs is constant. Wonderful staff members on the premise 24 hours a day. Great groomers keep Spike looking spiffy. It ain't cheap but the care given is worth every penny.
Rude Staff at Paws in Chelsea
If you have any interest in you, or your pets, being treated with courtesy and respect I recommend that you do not use Paws in Chelsea (located at 145 West 24th Street). After being told that I could drop my cats off early, I was "greeted" by a rude, snippy, hostile employee who implied I was a liar and who left my cats sitting in their carriers on the floor in the lobby. She did not check them in or write down their names. I sat on edge for 45 minutes until I could call when the entire staff would be on-site to ensure that my cats had been attended to and had not continued to be neglected. I know that finding groomers who do cats is not easy. However, I recommend that you search far and wide before settling on Paws in Chelsea.

Robert Kraft 'super excited' about free agent pickups Darrelle Revis, Brandon Browner, Brandon LaFell
|03.24.14 at 2:03 pm ET
ORLANDO — Even though he was among the owners Monday at the league meetings, Robert Kraft had not problem putting on his fan hat, especially when it came to talking about the acquisitions of new free agents Darrelle Revis, Brandon Browner and Brandon LaFell.
"Just putting my fan hat on, I'm super excited," he said during a break in the meetings at the Ritz Carlton. "We like to think our team got better, but one thing I've learned over 20 years is that winning the offseason isn't what counts. A lot of people win the offseason and you get high, with the different transactions. The great thing about the NFL, you need a lot of people, all playing a role, to succeed and get to Jerusalem on the Hill — where we all want to get in February."
While Kraft said he had a chance to touch base with all three players, he seemed particularly excited about getting the opportunity to talk with Revis. The owner said the two talked in Florida, and he came away impressed with Revis' commitment level.
"Here's a young man who had his choice of going to any team in the NFL he wanted, and he came to us," Kraft said. "He could have gotten considerable more money going to other teams, but he still came to us. I think he knows we're committed to winning as an organization, I really believe his priority is trying to win.
"He's really committed," Kraft added. "His commitment to training — I know he's gone to Arizona (to work out), and he really wants to win. Part of it, sometimes, I think young men come into the NFL and they come from modest backgrounds, financially, and they're able to make a lot of money and it's a turn-on. I think of myself in business, when I started out '¦ but then you realize what's important and he's tried to find a balance of making a very comfortable income, I'd say, but at the same time, he wants to win. There's no doubt in my mind that football's very important to him. He wants to win, and the same is true with everyone else we've signed in the offseason.
"There's a wonderful attitude that's evolved. We've been so close … you know, in the 20 seasons, we've gone to nine championship games. That's the game before the Super Bowl. That's almost every other year. So, anyone can't doubt that we put winning as a priority, and I think for some players who are getting more seasoned and have made a pretty comfortable income, they want to be in the postseason. They want that legacy of being a winning football player on a winning team. I think there are some nice examples of these young men wanting to come to us. I take great pride in that."
Kraft also touched on the recent pickup of Browner, who is still facing a four-game suspension for violating the league's policy on PEDs. The owner said the team did its due diligence when it came to thoroughly checking into Browner's past.
"I think we've done a very good job in how we've vetted all people we're looking at," Kraft said of Browner. "We're human beings — life takes many twists and turns that none of us can fully appreciate.
"This wasn't an individual that was violent with women or doing things that I would personally find objectionable. And there's always two sides to a story. We're not going to be perfect. But given the information I had, and the transaction we did, I'm comfortable, and pretty positive about him joining us. Hopefully he and Revis will be a great combination . .. not that I'm telling Bill who to start."

The architect of the Henry Tax Review says there appears to be a "long way" to go before business and workers reach agreement on who would mainly benefit from a corporate tax rate cut.
Former Treasury secretary Ken Henry has told the federal government's tax forum in Canberra he believes both sides would benefit.
Business groups have called for the tax forum to be based on the recommendations penned by Dr Henry, rather than start from scratch.
A cornerstone of his review, completed in May 2010, was a cut in the corporate tax to 25 per cent over time.
Australian Industry Group chief Heather Ridout, who was also a member of the Henry review panel, told the forum that business was frustrated the issue had not progressed.
"It is certainly an area that we will continue to advocate," she said on Tuesday.
But ACTU secretary Jeff Lawrence warned the 200 delegates at the forum the event should not become a vehicle for "self-serving business interests" lobbying to cut the corporate tax rate.
Australia's corporate tax was already lower than many countries, including the United States, he said.
"We don't support, and this forum shouldn't support, Australia joining a race to the bottom on company tax," Mr Lawrence said.
"We don't support a reduction in the share of total revenue derived from business."
Cassandra Goldie, chief executive of the welfare group Australian Council of Social Service, told the forum tax reform should not be about tax cuts only.
"We don't oppose a modest lowering of the corporate tax rate as such, but we want to emphasise if we are going to do that we must ensure that business pays its fair share," she said.
But Dr Henry believed both companies and workers would win from a cut in the corporate tax rate, even though the mood in the room during the business session of the government's tax forum suggested otherwise.
"Just to illustrate the difficulty that we're having this morning in talking about business tax versus tax on labour, isn't it incredible that the consensus of public finance theorists is that in Australia, if the company income tax were to be cut, the principal beneficiaries will be workers," Dr Henry told forum participants in Canberra on Tuesday.
But he said the forum had a "long way" to go before a consensus could be reached between the differing groups at forum.
"We need more discussion like this and only, I think, when we can get past these debates about business on the one hand versus labour on the other will we then be in a position to make sensible decisions on how we should tax," Dr Henry said.
Business Council of Australia chief executive Jennifer Westacott said any change to the tax system needed to maintain revenue for the social safety net and promote economic growth.
Ms Westacott said governments needed to do their bit, in terms of keeping spending down and getting value for the tax dollar.
She said the tax forum should agree to a 10-year tax reform program "with all taxes and all options on the table".

Hi Everyone,
I am going to be taking on my first major project (as a novice knitter) and it will be a Wonderful Wallaby. I will be making it for my almost 6 yr old daughter and am currently looking for a suitable yarn.
I am thinking about the KP Shine Worsted in Crocus, since she loves pink/purple. But I would also love to hear your suggestions!
Thank you!
Well, if it's a winter sweater you'd probably want to use something warmer, but any worsted would probably work if that's what it calls for.
Oh, I love that pattern. I've made 4 Wallaby's so far. I've used Bernat Camo, Caron Simply Soft Shadows, Caron Simply Soft & Bernat Denim Style yarns for the sweaters that I've made. I think as long as you use a worsted weight yarn and you do a swatch to check your gauge you'll be alright.
You can do it! That was my first major project as well. I made two in Cascade 220, one for my 12 year old ( in raspberry) and one for me. For my daughter I omitted the hood and just added a garter collar(she loves it!). Very cute! I made mine with a hood and it sags in the back and pulls up at my throat. I'm not sure if the sagging is due to the hood or if I just needed to raise up the back neck before doing the neck ribbing. It's a fun sweater to knit.
i made one for my granddaughter (age 5) using Lion Brand Cotton Ease. It was great to knit with and is holding its shape well and she wuvs it and wears it a lot!! linknit41
Thank you for your input! I ordered the shine worsted from KP and will be hoping for the best!

Craft beer is in my DNA
I have been consumed with beer the past few weeks — And now that I think of it I may have consumed more than my share in the process. But I make no apologies.
After all, it's a well known fact — chronicled in a 1-hour documentary on The Discovery Channel, that "Beer Saved the World."
Yes, back in the dark ages, (long after dinosaurs) bacteria ruled the world, people were dying from drinking the oft-contaminated water. The beer making process requires boiling water, ergo beer was (and is) much safer to drink than water.
The PUB(lic) quickly realized this and jumped on the beer bandwagon — thus saving the world.
I've been on that bandwagon most of my adult life, one way or another. I went to college at the University of Colorado, where to Coors beer flowed like water. Every Friday afternoon after classes (and sometimes before they were over) there was a mass migration to a nearby area called, "The Hill." It was home to droves of college students — who flocked to great bars like Tulagi's and The Sink.
It wasn't until after college that I realized that Coors ("Brewed with pure Rocky Mountain spring water") didn't have much more taste than water.
My brother, Rob, was an early home brewer, and after sampling his beers, I quickly gravitated to darker, more flavorful brews. I even tried my hand at home brewing, quite literally being part of the craft beer — "explosion."
Beer became part of my career, as well. In my first advertising agency job, our team worked on the Johns-Manville filtration account. "Exciting," you're probably thinking. Not too.
But after writing a killer brochure on DE (diatomaceous earth) I drew the assignment to write an ad targeting brewers. It was my first real ad, with the headline "We want to make your beer the best beer around, round after round."
A couple advertising agencies later, I found myself writing on the Budweiser and Michelob accounts — You remember, "Weekends were made for Michelob," and "This Bud's for you," and the wonderful character, "Bud Man."
My "Bud Man" beer tankard sets proudly on the bar in my Man Cave, but these days he is surrounded with reminders how Haywood County craft beer has come of age.
I have one of the first bottles of Frog Level Brewing Company's "Catcher in the Rye," and a bigger bottle of BearWaters Brewing Company's "Bourbon Barrel Porter." They're in the background, now, recently eclipsed by bright, colorful cans of BearWaters' Sliding Rock Ale and Frog Level's Salamander Slam.
Yes, cans are the big, new thing in the craft beer industry, and as the Asheville Citizen Times reported in a cover story last (a week after my BearWaters canning story in The Guide) area brewers are showing a real "Can-do" attitude.
At the Burning Can Beer Fest, where all beer was poured from cans instead of taps, more than 30 brewers shared their fresh and finest. Cans ruled at the festival, and it was fun to see the puzzled looks among the beer afficianados as they checked in and were handed a mini beer can instead of a tasting glass.
But beer festival groupies are flexible, and they quickly adapted from sampling beer in glass to cans.
I even found a way to nestle a mini 'Burning Can' in the holster of my handy 'tasting necklace.' That way I could — hands-free — greet my brewer friends, connect with festivalgoers and take pictures of the revelry.
Just minutes into the festival, a Brevard couple caught a glimpse of my Maui Brewing T-shirt and shared stories of their visit to that island brewery. We also visited with folks we met last year at Waynesville Craft Beer Fest.
Which is a perfect segue to remind you that the 2014 Waynesville Craft Beer Faire (This year it's a Faire, not a Fest) will be from 1-5 p.m. Aug. 16, at the fun and familiar American Legion Ball Field.
Tickets are available locally at BearWaters Brewing Company, Frog Level Brewing Company, and at www.WaynesvilleBeer.com.
So — Get off your can! — Support your local brewers and sample great beers from other regional brewers. I guarantee that you will have a good time, and it 'might could' save your life.

They had a press conference. Three together there...
I couldn't find a full transcript, but here are some other quotes they said.
Fumie: "Passion, the theme of Turino Olympics, is what I want to express on the ice. I want to feel it, and I want to enjoy it. I'll give it all I've got and it would be wonderful if my performance makes the audience happy and excited."
She was also asked why she thought her country's female skating field was so deep, and she answered good rivalry among skaters motivated them to perform better.
Shizuka: "Things are gettng better and I'm becoming consistent. I think it was a very good decision to change programs. I'm feeling pretty good and comfortable with the new ones."
She also said Morozov and she hadn't changed much of the overall composition of the programs. But sounds like she is pretty happy about the decision.
The two admitted they felt some pressure (given Team Japan's medal drought), but they just wanted to bring the best to the game (who wouldn't , but go for it girls).
Miki, as the Yahoo article says, sounded just simply happy to be there, but she broke into tears asked about her deceased dad (she'd been Daddy's little girl).

Jessica and Peter's Wedding
"From the consultation through the final touches on my wedding day Danielle was both professional and caring, a woman in command of her trade, but always listening to feedback, ideas, and questions. The make-up she uses looks and feels excellent, and lasted well beyond the end of our celebrations. I would recomend Danielle to anyone with a special occassion, and I will certainly give her a call when we renew our vows a few years down the road!"
From the vendor:
It was wonderful to be able to be a part of Jessica and Peter's special day. Jess was easy to work with and was very open to my ideas and suggestions. She came to me with a beautiful vision of how she wanted everyone to look for the wedding....which was 1920's glamour. I was so happy to see the results. Everyone looked beautiful and Jess has the most amazing eyes. I was so happy that she was pleased! It was a pleasure to work with them!!!

SOCIOECONOMIC status should not hinder an individual's goal to finish college, according to a contact center and business process outsourcing (BPO) company which has opened a program for employees to finish tertiary education while working the graveyard shift.
Javier Infante, president and chief executive officer of Telus International Philippines, Inc., told reporters in a press briefing yesterday helping his employees finish college education was not just a clear investment for the company but also on an individual's future.
The program called "Telus International University" is a partnership with five universities.
"The company will subsidize the tuition of the beneficiary. The classes will be held in the two centers of Telus located in Cubao in Quezon City and Taguig. The professors of the universities will teach the standard curriculum but during schedules most suited for our employees who are working at night," he said.
Mr. Infante said there would be 50 employees in the initial wave of the program, which aims to reach 1,000 workers in the next three years.
The employees can choose from courses including economics, entrepreneurship, management, information technology, and humanities.
"Like a usual applicant, the employee still has to pass an entrance examination. We will help to prepare for that by conducting review sessions," he said.
The company has 8,500 employees located in three sites — Ortigas Center in Pasig, Cubao in Quezon City, and the Bonifacio Global City in Taguig.
"Sixty percent of our employees are college degree holders while there are 40% who are not," Mr. Infante said.
Mr. Infante said the company would not require employees to sign a bond or contract as a condition before joining the program.
The employee also has the liberty to resign shortly after enrolment, the Telus chief executive said.
"We are not doing this to force them to stay with us. But we would be happier if they decided to grow with the company. Through this program, we are encouraging them to be at their best," Mr. Infante told reporters.
Mr. Infante also said employees who finish the Telus International University program would be encouraged to apply for a higher position.

Life's Little Ups And Downs
Life is like a trampoline: sometimes you're up, sometimes you're down, and sometimes you just can't predict what's coming.
Michelle saw the Little Jumper Trampoline. Michelle saw Amanda. Michelle could almost feel the headache coming on.
Tim had picked out the Little Jumper Trampoline especially for Ella over the summer, knowing that it was perfect for kids two and up who weighed under 80 pounds. Ella had regularly held the three-piece foam padded handle and bounced under Tim's "supervision" while he watched football with Alex. Of course, Ella survived.
But Michelle had forgotten the Little Jumper Trampoline was sitting in the family room. So, when she'd agreed to watch Mackenzie, she'd done nothing to keep it out of Amanda's sight. Now there just wasn't time to hide that Little Jumper Trampoline. Michelle decided she would just have to deal with the lecture. It's not safe! she imagined Amanda saying. What are you trying to do to my baby!
There was the bell. Michelle sighed, then put on a big smile.
"Hello, Mackenzie! Hello, Amanda!"
Mackenzie walked slowly into the house, and naturally, picked the most awkward thing to focus on.
"Is that a trampoline?"
Michelle braced herself- and- nothing? Amanda just stroked Mackenzie's hair and agreed.
"It is, Mackenzie! Maybe you'll get to play with it while I'm gone!"
Michelle's mouth actually opened. "Amanda! You're not nervous about this Little Jumper Trampoline?"
Amanda shrugged. "Why should I be? I only worry about things that are unsafe! Don't tell me YOU'RE scared of the Little Jumper Trampoline, Michelle? Honestly, it's well made mesh and a sturdy metal frame, as long as someone's as light as Mackenzie. There's nothing dangerous about it! I never thought I'd see the day, Michelle, when YOU were finally scared of something."
"I'm not scared!" Michelle blurted out. Amanda didn't seem to believe her.
"Just do me a favor, okay? Try not to project on to my little girl. I don't want her to grow up terrified of trampolines. I'll be back around five. Thank you!"
Michelle's mouth opened again. "Okay!" she called after her friend. "And if you see the real Amanda, send her back, please!"

After being rumoured for the role of 'Wonder Woman', it looks as though Jaimie Alexander wasn't fussed on the recent 'Wonder Woman' TV show…
It's no secret that DC's recent attempt at a 'Wonder Woman' TV show didn't exactly get off to a flying start. Starring Adrianne Palicki as everyone's favourite Amazonian Princess, the show was cancelled after a particularly rubbish pilot episode… and 'Thor 2' actress Jaimie Alexander seems to think that was a good thing.
[Batman vs. Superman refuses to shift release date]
In an interview with MTV News, the 30-year-old 'Thor 2' star admitted that she's disgusted by the failed 'Wonder Woman' TV show…
"It's embarrassing for me as a woman, seeing what they did with that TV show," she said. "It had nothing to do with that amazing actress Adrianne Palicki."
Of course, the now debunked TV series took Wonder Woman back to its cheesy, skin-tight television roots… and that's exactly what Alexander had a problem with.
"You have very few female superheroes dominating films these days, unless they're in a skin tight outfit and their boobs are pushed up to their chin. It's not okay," she said. "All she does is sit and eat ice cream while she's crying over a boy. I know that never aired, but that's what the script said."
Since then, Alexander has found herself linked to the big screen 'Wonder Woman' role… a part which eventually went to Gal Gadot in the upcoming 'Batman vs. Superman'. But what direction did Alexander think that DC should take Wonder Woman?
[Batman vs. Superman filming begins?]
"There needs to be a positive role model. If you're going to make 'Wonder Woman,' make it like 'The Bourne Supremacy'," she said. "Let's do something awesome like that. Like 'Alias.' That was a fantastic show. Why can't we do that? Why does she have to be in hot pants and spandex?"
Thankfully, it looks as though the folks at Warner Bros may have paid attention… and the rumour is that the all-new Wonder Woman will don a more armoured, gladiatorial costume. In fact, it sounds a lot like the look that Jaimie Alexander herself is used to in the recent 'Thor' movies.
But will Wonder Woman take a leaf out of her book? For now, we'll have to wait and see… but as far as strong, female role models go, Jaimie Alexander is a great place to start.
'Batman vs. Superman' will appear in cinemas across the UK on 29 April 2016
Will Wonder Woman wear a less-embarrassing costume? Will Gadot's take on Wonder Woman be a strong, female role model? Let us know what you think in the comments below…
Ryan Leston is a comic book movie geek from Cardiff who can't wait to hear more about the rumoured Justice League movie. His favourite DC film is The Dark Knight and he was hugely impressed with Henry Cavill as Superman. Follow Ryan Leston on Twitter or Facebook.

Skipper says young team will go again
Samuel Ricketts has denied that tiredness is creeping into the Molineux camp as Wolves look to prove their setbacks against Shrewsbury and Crawley are no more than a blip.
Saturday's frustrating home draw was followed on Tuesday by a first defeat in 11 games and an upping of the ante for Saturday's visit to another of Sky Bet League One's form teams, Sheffield United.
The pace at the top of the table has been relentless all season and Ricketts believes Wolves will quickly get their campaign back on course.
"Of course we've had a lot of games but speaking for myself – and I was ill at the weekend – the schedule isn't a problem," the skipper said.
"It's a young side and, when you're a young side top of the table, you feel you can play every day. We haven't got a problem.
"If anyone was a fly on the wall, they'd see we're not struggling under the pressure. The team spirit, the togetherness between the lads, the banter and the craic are fine.
"We'll just keep plugging away trying to reach our end goal. There's certainly no reason to panic.
"We're top. It's not as if we're seventh in the table needing to win every game to make the play-offs. We're in an extremely strong position for what has been a phenomenal pace set this season and we're at the top of it."
Ricketts, one of the better performers on a general off night against Crawley, insisted on himself facing the media afterwards.
Head coach Kenny Jackett didn't make any excuses for the dip in standards from the long-term highs so far in 2014 and his appointed on-field leader has no doubts that the tide can turn again quickly.
"I'm confident we can bounce back," he added. "We're still a very good side.
"A good player can have a bad game and still be a good player. A bad player can have a good game but he's still a bad player. We're a good side and we've got lots of good players.
"It's going to be hard at Sheffield, but I'm looking forward to it. We have to give the opposition credit. The teams we've played in the last two games have defended really well.
"The longer you give sides something to hold on to, the harder they will cling to it. We've all been there – when you have something to hang on to, it gives you that bit of spring.
"When we played Crawley at the start of the season, they played some great football and this time they had a game plan and stuck to it really well. On another day, we might have won 1-0. Our defending was very unlike us but that happens sometimes."

From Tor UK: Final Days by Gary Gibson follows the lives of a few key characters as a cataclysmic event is unleashed in Earth's near future. This is a twenty-third-century thriller revolving around the slow uncovering of a conspiracy that irrevocably dooms the Earth, set against a backdrop of interstellar colonies. The story takes advantage of current cutting-edge ideas about the creation of artificial wormholes for interstellar travel, and their implications for practicable time travel. Action-packed and fast-paced, this is a thrilling SF adventure and a wonderful start to Gary's new series.
Blurb for Final Days

text: Hi GT fans ! Eventhough the game is already in the hands of thousands of gamers around the world, with hundreds of leaked photos and videos, we still dont know exactly how the damage system works in GT5. So the objective of this thread is to gather as much information and media on how damage works in the game. I will update this thread as soon as new info and media on damage are revealed on our beloved internet, please feel free to share with us any new info or media on damage. I am sure with the opening of the online portion of GT5 on 24th november 2010 we will get a more precise idea on how damage works. But until then, this is what we know so far about damage in GT5 : - The damage exists, at least visual damage, but we dont know if we can activate it/disactivate it or not (especially in online races) or if we could adjust its level or not, or how this visual damage works exactly. - No confirmation yet of how mechanical damage works in the game. - The damage differs between cars, premium rally and nascar cars have the most advanced damage, we dont know yet how damage works for standard cars. Those are some photos of damage in GT5 : This is a video of damage in GT5 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OAFHyvOpYI&feature=player_embedded Our Gtplanet member (paulpg87) said he found this interesting photo in an italian forum and a guy said that you have to be level 20+ to get this kind of damage, but it is not confirmed : Update : 22 november 2010 : Our french Gtplanet member (Wanda) posted those intresting new photos from GT5 (Level 14 in A-SPEC mode), they show some limited roll overs, lifted cars and the bottom of some cars : http://nsa19.casimages.com/img/2010/11/22/101122023316726440.jpg http://nsa20.casimages.com/img/2010/11/22/101122023356901167.jpg http://nsa19.casimages.com/img/2010/11/22/101122023419933528.jpg http://nsa20.casimages.com/img/2010/11/22/101122023452409665.jpg Our Gtlanet member (SirBoris) posted this interesting video showing more damage and especially more crashes in GT5, taken from the french blog gameblog.fr The video shows some impressive crashes, but not total rollovers (a la TGS 2010 video) and very little visual damage. Update : 23 november 2010 Our Gtplanet member (Gamer28) posted a new video of a more advanced damage in GT5 (rally circuit, rally premium car, some rumors sates that the driver is at level 40 in the game but not confirmed) https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=133126 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XINuNcmXfLI&feature=player_embedded Could this be the final damage system in GT5 ? did polyphony digital implement a progressive damage system depending on the level of the driver ? we dont know yet. But we must be cautious, the translation of what the author of the video said states that "You don't need to be level 40 to unlock the dirt and car damage, just patience and a destructive streak" In a related subject, our Gtplanet member (Darkpitiless) downloaded a system update 1.01 and posted details and pictures of it here : https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=133127 in this update of 133 MB the online portion of the game is finally open, so we will see soon how polyphony is managing the damage system in online races (hopefully damage could be activated/disactivated in online races + choice of level of damage) Update : second update for 23 november 2010 In the thread of : yamauchi tweets https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=128579 we can find the latest yamauchi tweet as follows : "It will appear later. RT @tanzen: @Kaz_Yamauchi Konbawa Yamauchi San! I'm lv 17 on GT 5 (review copy) and still no mechanical damage, you..." www.twitter.com/kaz_yamauchi What does this mean ? We were right about the progressive damage system in the game based on the level achieved in the game ? Update : 05 december 2010 Well after all the reviews and gamers feedback, we now know this for sure : - There is no mechanical damage in GT5, yamauchi said it will appear in a patch this december, so wait and see. - Concerning visual damage, unlike the rumors (that were taken as a fact in a lot of official reviews and I am sure a lot was taken from this thread which is ironic and unprofessional from those reviewers) There is no progressive level system damage in GT5, the damage in the beginning of the game is the same in the latest levels of the game. The visual damage is very light and limited and needs a lot of collisions to show its effects on premium cars. Rally premiums cars are the ones that show the biggest visual damage, but again after a lot of crashes and collisions. For standard cars, the damage is even more limited. Update : 06 december 2010 Mechanical damage arrived via a patch 1.03, but unfortunately it could be activated only for online races. https://www.gtplanet.net/gran-turismo-5-v1-03-update-now-available/ "UPDATE: The servers are back online and an in-game news notice has been posted, but it mentions nothing of exactly what changes v1.03 contains. However, as can be seen in the online My Lounge options for an online race, a new Mechanical Damage setting is available for the event with three settings, as described by the scrolling information bar on the bottom of the screen: None No mechanical damage. Light Mechanical parts can be damaged, but will automatically be repaired after a short time has passed. Heavy Mechanical damage will be more severe, and can only be repaired by making a pit stop. Damaged parts will be indicated with on-screen icons."

The 35-year-old East New York man who was arrested on December 29 on suspicion of a string of assaults was charged today. Barry Baldwin is being charged with participating a number of "knockout game" attacks, during which someone attempts to knock out an unsuspecting passer-by with a single punch.
Here is what you need to know about the man and his alleged crimes:
1. He's Accused of 7 'Knockout Game' Assaults on Women
Between November 9 and December 27, Baldwin is suspected of committing 7 assaults in predominately Jewish neighborhoods in Brooklyn. According to WPTV, the attacks began on November 9 when Baldwin is believed to have punched a 78-year-old woman pushing a stroller. His next alleged attack, occurring on December 7, involved a 20-year-old woman being punched in the back of the head.
As many as 5 more women who were assaulted in these neighborhoods are believed to be the victims of Baldwin's knockout spree.
2. He Was Arrested by 'Hate Crime Detectives'
Since the spree of attacks in predominately Jewish neighborhoods, "hate crime detectives" have been canvasing certain neighborhoods looking for assaults. He was arrested after a witness identified him on a police line up.
3. He is Charged With Multiple Counts of Assault
Baldwin is charged with six counts with aggravated assault as a hate crime, and six counts of assault as a hate crime. He is due back in court on January 9.
4. A Texas Man Is Also Being Charged With a Knockout Hate Crime
In Houston, Texas, 27-year-old Conrad Alvin Barrett is being charged with hate crimes for filming himself punching a 79-year-old black man in a knockout-style attack. Like Baldwin, prosecutors have evidence that Barrett set out to attack a person of a different race.
5. There Have Been Over a Dozen Attacks in Brooklyn Alone
Although the knock out game is considered prevalent in certain neighborhoods of Brooklyn, there is evidence of attacks across the country.

Sailfish Men's Soccer Coach Jose Gomez Named NCCAA National Coach of the Year
December 13, 2010
Written By: Michael Brown, Assistant A.D. for Athletic Communications
GREENVILLE, S.C.- After a dominating conclusion to the 2010 men's soccer season witnessed head coach Jose Gomez and his team claim the top prize at the NCCAA National Championship, the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) announced on Friday that Gomez has been named the NCCAA Division I National Coach of the Year. Gomez will be honored at the upcoming NSCAA Convention next month in Baltimore.
Joining Gomez in Baltimore will be seniors Andrew Kanarr and Kyle Crouse who were both named NCCAA All-American 1st-Team selections for their solid play in 2010 that led an overall youthful team to the NCCAA National Championship. Also selected to the NCCAA All-American team was senior Juan Villagrana and sophomore goalkeeper Jonathan Strunk who were named to the All-American 2nd Team and All-American Honorable Mention listing respectively.
Junior Tumi Magadlela earned impressive honors at the NCCAA National Tournament as well by being named as the Tournament's Most Outstanding Player.
Now the longest tenured head coach in the Sailfish athletic coaching ranks by just completing his sixth season on the bench, Gomez led his team to the NCCAA National Tournament for the fifth straight season while earning the national tournament bid by winning his fifth straight NCCAA South Region crown in 2010.
After graduating a large senior class in 2009, the 2010 roster presented many new faces but ones with considerable talent. After a tough start of 3-3 including a pair of one-goal losses, the Fish would begin to gel as a team as Gomez and his coaching staff of Josh Rife and Daniel Abrahamsohn began to mold what would be a championship-caliber club.
Hitting the final stretch of the season, Gomez' boys began to play their best soccer of the season as they reeled off eight straight victories to close out the season as they tallied the program's first-ever NCCAA National Championship.
One of four seniors on this year's team, Kanarr closed out his career quite possibly in the best way possible by helping lead his team to the NCCAA title while tallying a number of impressive individual distinctions as well. Not only was Kanarr named to the NCCAA All-American 1st-Team, but he also garnered a spot on the NCCAA All-Tournament Team and by being named the Tournament's Outstanding Defensive Player award.
This high honor most likely helped open the eyes of the voters as Kanarr would later be announced as the NCCAA National Player of Year while also earning a spot on the NCCAA All-Region team.
Playing the role of team captain for the 2010 season, Crouse would continue to show why he was targeted by many team's game plans as the Sailfish top striker. Blessed with great speed and a high energy-level, Crouse put together his best season of his four-year career in 2010 by tallying a team-high total in goals and assists with 13 goals and seven assists for 33 total points.
For his efforts, Crouse was honored as a NCCAA All-American for the second time in his career with this season placing the Lakeland, Florida native on the 1st-Team. He was also selected as the NCCAA South Region Player of the Year and earned a spot on the NCCAA All-Tournament team as well.
Playing an important role in the midfield the past few seasons has been the consistent and strong play of Villagrana. A transfer from Saint Leo University after his freshman season, Villagrana transformed himself into a solid contributor as a starter the past few seasons and key leader on the field.
Although mostly aiding the defensive work of the team's midfielders, Villagrana came through on offense as well with three goals and two assists on the season while being recognized as a NCCAA All-Region selection for the first time in his career. A product of Durant High School in Valrico, Florida, Villagrana proved to be a player that improved every year on his way to NCCAA All-American 2nd-Team status as a senior.
Joining Crouse and Kanarr on the All-Tournament team was Tumi Magadlela and senior Josh Sharpe. Both critical to the team's success during their magical tournament run and throughout the season, both players earned the recognition after putting together three solid contests at the NCCAA National Tournament.
Sharpe returned from a season-ending injury early in the 2009 season to earn back his starting position this year as the George Jenkins High School graduate registered four goals and three assists for 11 points while being selected to the NCCAA All-Region team for the second time in his playing career.
Magadlela added in two goals and four assists for the season while playing in all 21 games for the season. Not only was he a standout player on the field, Magadlela also selected as a NCCAA Scholar-Athlete for his work in the classroom as a Pre-Medicine major.
In his first season as the starting goalkeeper after backing up former starter Joe Yurchak the previous two seasons, redshirt sophomore Jonathan Strunk proved ready to take on the full-time role in 2010 with his steady play in between the pipes for the Fish.
An Evanston, Illinois native, Strunk utilized his 6'4" frame and strong leadership abilities to help the team post 12 shutouts on the season while starting all 21 games in goal for PBA. Finishing the season with a record of 15-6, Strunk tallied 57 saves and culminated the NCCAA National Tournament with two shutouts in three contests including a 2-0 shutout in the NCCAA Championship game victory over Cedarville University.
The honor of NCCAA All-American honorable mention followed up Strunk being named to the NCCAA All-Region team for the first time in his career.
Congratulations to these deserving young men on their accomplishments and to head coach Jose Gomez on the prestigious distinction of being named the NSCAA/NCCAA Division I Coach of the Year.

A Writer's Devotion
The scratch of a pen, the tools of the trade.
Indents carved from ink.
Smooth. Bumpy.
Caressing fingertips on wrinkled paper.
Feel, smell, think.
Set foot on the path to something bigger.
The late night glow of the flashing cursor.
Watch the words as they spill out.
Watch as they fill up the blank, white screen.
Filling up your soul and freeing up your mind.
Stop searching, let go.
The words of your mind,
The fingers they possess.
Let them take you. Engulf you. Replenish you.
Set you free.
The words flow freely; your fingers know what must be said.
Throw away your power,
The illusion of control.
Expressed. Emancipated. Enlightened.
Writing is a drug,
The addiction is a lifestyle.
The captain that navigates your mind,
The lighthouse that illuminates your path.
Words are a world, and writing is discovery.

What I did
Fireworks, chocolate and markets
The day after ferragusto we headed out to see what Oaxaca was like. We had heard there was a market somewhere about so we headed for that to see what it was like. I had read that it was either the largest market in Mexico, Central America or the world (cant remember) so thought it could be interesting to see. The thing was MASSIVE!!!!! It was literally its own town within a town. We tried to get around as much of it as possible and after something like 3 hours I dont think we had even covered half.
Women at every corner held baskets of chillied grasshoppers (I swear some of them were alive), meat is not refrigerated here so one whole section had strips of flesh and fat hanging from wires and hooks

Diabetes challenges patients, doctors and the health system. It's a chronic illness that can bring severe complications, sometimes requiring hospitalization. But timely, well-coordinated care can hold diabetes in check, helping people stay healthy and curbing costs.
"Diabetes is not a death sentence, but a life change," says Jim Darcey, 63, of North Portland, who lives with the illness. He began controlling his blood sugar levels with the help of a coordinated-care team at the Multnomah County Health Department's North Portland clinic.
Darcey learned to manage his diabetes by taking insulin - which he injects daily - and by improving his diet, getting more exercise and addressing his depression.
Diabetes afflicts an estimated 262,000 Oregonians. Untreated, it can lead to heart disease, kidney failure, high blood pressure, eye problems, nerve damage and foot amputations. In Oregon, diabetes contributes to 56,000 hospitalizations a year, at a cost exceeding $1.1 billion, a 2008 Department of Human Services report found.
"No other disease requires as much support and education for patients trying to manage their illness," says Dr. Joseph Black, a primary care physician at the clinic. One in six of Black's patients has diabetes.
The North Portland center started using the patient-centered approach to track patients with diabetes about two years ago. Two nurses help Black monitor patients' "bundle measures" - a computerized tally of blood sugar levels, hemoglobin, blood pressure and cholesterol - to make sure they remain in the "safe zone." Patients come in every four to six months, or more often if they're outside the safe zone. Doctors get regular "report cards" on how many of their patients meet the targeted measures.
The many complications of diabetes demand a team approach, Black says. "It doesn't just happen in the exam room with the doctor," he says. "It also involves nursing and outreach."
This approach combines several ideas central to Oregon's ongoing health transformation:
Today, Oregon is working toward transforming the health delivery system in a way that better supports these kinds of innovative approaches. Learn more at www.health.oregon.gov.

A brilliant matchup right from the start, turmoil everywhere and Shark Boy demonstrating his athleticism with a huge suicide dive that took out the entire opposition. The crowd behind team Benjamin. Eventually everything got settled down and Shelton started the match with Low-Ki. They trade right hands for a short time but Shelton clearly has a stronger punch. Shleton slammed Low-Ki down then covered him for 2. Low-Ki was helped to his feet and he delivered an enziguri to Shelton. Low-Ki puts Shelton in the corner and goes to work on Shelton then tags in Test. Test gets some major heat during this match. Test drives the knees and elbows into Shelton then gives him the snake eyes and a clothesline. Cover for 2. Shelton comes back with right hands then a diving clothesline taking Test off his feet. Shelton tags in Konnan to a huge ovation. Konnan mugs Test in the corner, and Test wobbles out into a spinebuster. Pin attempt broken up by Jerry Lynn.
Konnan tells Lynn to fuck himself with a rude gesture. Lynn tries to illegally attack Konnan but the ref holds him back, and as the ref is distracted, Konnan kicks Test square in the nuts! This is followed up by a DDT which gets a long 2 count. Konnan works on Tests arm for a while then wrenches it and tags Shark Boy. Shark Boy comes off the top rope with a sledge onto the left shoulder. Test staggers back then is caught sweet on the chin by a standing dropkick. Cover for 2. Shark Boy goes for a slam but cannot lift up the 280 pounder. Test clubs Shark Boy then delivers the pumphandleslam. Both men are down. Test tags in Lynn. Lynn walks right into and enziguri. Shark Boy tags Konnan back in. Konnan exposes the ribs looking for a double axe handle and pays for it as Lynn headbutts Konnan in the gut. Konnan crumbles to the ground gasping for air. Lynn stomps away at the gut before dropping repeated elbows onto Konnan. Konnan is hurt bad and holds his ribs, screaming in pain. Lynn tags in La Parka. Parka chops away at Konnans chest, Konnan screams but cannot stop the pain. Parka knees Konnan then delivers a hurricanrana. Cover for 2. Konnan lifts a shoulder. Parka tags in Test. Test puts Konnan in the corner and repeatedly drives knees into the ribs of Konnan.

Test tags in Lynn. Lynn goes for Konnan but Konnan dives and tags in the outstretched hand of D-Lo Brown. D-Lo cleans house with clotheslines all over. D-Lo dodges La Parka and sends him to the outside. D-Lo kicks Test in the face with a jumping calf kick. D-Lo gives Lynn a back body drop. Clothesline on Low-Ki. La Parka attacks D-Lo from behind and all hell breaks loose. They brawl everywhere around the ring. La Parka and D-Lo take it into the crowd.
Lynn whips Konnan into the metal steps. Konnan screams in agony again. Lynn and Low-Ki try to double team Shelton who knocks them both down. Shelton hits the T-Bone suplex on Low-Ki. Lynn then gives Shelton an enziguri. Shark Boy comes from up top with a crossbody on Lynn. Test then pumphandleslams Shark Boy. Up in the crowd D-Lo hits La Parka with a suplex on the floor. D-Lo runs back into the ring and gives Test the Sky High. Then he spinebusters a charging Lynn. Then D-Lo climbs up and nails the Low-Down. The ref counts 1-2-3!
Match Time: 18m 29s
WINNERS: Shelton Benjamin, Shark Boy, D-Lo Brown & Konnan
JR: What an unbelievable matchup King, action packed opening to an historic night in WIWA TV.
King: Truly brilliant match, unfortunatley Tests team lost out but a good effort none the less.
JR: I understand that Roger Walker is standing by with the Peoples Champion, the Brahma Bull, the Rock!
King: Dont kiss ass too much Ross, your lips might get stuck there, and the Rock would hate that.
Well Rock I understand you have something to say
The Rock looks at Roger funnily and then smells the electricity in the air and listens to the ROCKY! chants circling around the arena.
Damn right the Rock has something to say and it goes a little like this............
(crowd errupts) Ladies and gentlemen tonight the Peoples Champ goes one on one with a living legend. The Rock goes one on one with.........

What kind of debut is this. The Rock will knock the taste out of that little punks mouth. He's gonna feel the electricity rushing through him when the peoples elbow is dropped on his lightweight CANDY ASS! (crowd errupts again)
The Rock walks off to a huge ovation
JR: Well the Rock is confident that he will be succesful in his debut against Billy Kidman.

JR: Well I hope Kidman gets the taste slapped out of his mouth, I cannot stand that punk

The Rocks music hits and the crowd raises the roof off the Kemper Arena. He has got the biggest ovation in the history of wrestling here, tonight. Kidman comes out to some heat.

King: Yeah JR, but Syxx will hav a tough time whether he faces Mysterio or CM Punk.
JR: Very true it wont be a walk in the park.
Match 3: Tag Team Matchup
Participants: Skull & Crush aka the DOA vs Maven & Christian
It didnt take long for Maven and Christian to become annoyed by the experience and power of the DOA. Maven and Christian purposely got themselves diqualified by htting the DOA with chairs. They then mugged the DOA until the Hardy Boyz ran down and opened up on Maven and Christian.
The arena filled with boos as the Dudleyz ran down and started to assualt the Hardyz. Then out ran the New Age Outlaws! They took down the Dudleyz but then from the crowd came Psicosis and Jerry Lynn. All 6 teams were brawling when Heyman finally came out and said that he had been away, thinking of a way to stop this big tag team feud and so at ROR, These 6 teams will go for the tag titles in a Turmoil matchup. (fair pop). None of the tag teams look dissapointed except for the Hardyz who now have a 1/6 chance of winning the titles back.
Match Time: 6m 19s
WINNERS: DOA via DQ
JR: Another huge matchup added to the PPV card, 6 tag temas in a turmoil matchup.
King: O yeah I cant wait for ROR now JR
JR: Well guess whats next King? Its the Fatal-4-Way!
Match 4: Fatal-4-Way Matchup in the WIWA Heavyweight Championship Tournament
Participants: HHH vs Chris Jericho vs Kurt Angle vs Chris Benoit
Benoit comes out first to a huge pop. Then Angle to a massive heat wave. Then Jericho and HHH got huge pops too. All 4 men just stared each other down for quite some time until HHH made a beline for Angle. HHH pummeled Angle with right hands and then gave him his signature jawbreaker. HHH pinned him but Benoit broke it up. Benoit is now chopping away on HHH and Jericho is doing the same to Angle. Jericho and Benoit whip Angle and HHH into each other and they both go down hard and roll out to the floor. Jericho and Benoit both try to lock on their signature holds but to no avail as Benoit rolls up Jericho for 2. On the outside HHH is slammed onto the french announcers table. HHH then knocks Angle down and catapults him into the ring pole. Angle is bleeding badly early on here. HHH then whips Angle hard into the steps. Jericho plants Benoit with a facecrusher and looks for the lionsault but HHH pulls the top rope down and Jericho stumbles over to the floor. HHH slides in the ring but Benoit chops him down and latches on the sharpshooter. HHH squirms and yells in pain but eventually Angle dives in and makes the save. Angle then gives Benoit a trio of german suplexes and pins him but HHH this time breaks things up. HHH picks up Angle and goes for the Pedigree but Angle counters and gives HHH a german suplex. Jericho comes back in and dropkicks Angle down. Angle is bleeding worse and worse by the second. Benoit gives Jericho an armbreaker and goes for the Crossface but Jericho rolls him up for a near fall. HHH clotheslines them both down and pummels away at Jericho. HHH then gets up and Angle boots him in the ribs and hits a back suplex on HHH. Angle wanted to pin but Benoit started chopping away at Angle. Angle reversed but Benoit grabbed his arm and put the Crossface on a bloodied Angle almost tapped but Jericho lifted his arm back up and pulled Benoit away and into the Walls of Jericho! Benoit wrives around in pain but gets to the ropes eventually. Jericho lets go and HHH whacks Jericho smack on the head with a Harley Race like high knee. You can hear the head smack off the knee and Jericho stumbles backwards through the middle ropes. Angle gets up and from behind nails the Olympic Slam on HHH and pins him but HHH kicks out to Angles shock. Angle in frustration puts the anglelock on HHH and HHH was tapping but the ref was timely distracted by Benoit. Angle snapped and gave Benoit a couple of belly to belly suplexes and pinned him but Jericho broke things up.
The match had been going for near half an hour and everyone was showing the effects of it. Jericho suplexed Angle and then nailed a lionsault on him. Jericho covered Angle 1----2----Benoit makes the save! Jericho and Benoit trade blows and it spills to the outside with both men going over the top rope. Angle readies himself for HHH to get up. Angle goes for an Olympic Slam again but this time HHH jumps off and hits the Pedigree on Angle. HHH crawls over Angle with one arm and the ref counts 1----2----3!
Match Time: 32m 48s
JR: O my god HHH will face Sting tomorrow on Full Throttle! What a win for the game!
King: That was one hell of a match
JR: We have also heard that Hulk Hogan will face Randy Savage at ROR to get back at Savage for costing Hogan his spot in this tournament. Im Jim Ross alongside Jerry "The King" Lawler and we'll see you tomorrow
Thats all folks

Congratulations! You've completed the long, arduous task of writing a novel. You have an error-free manuscript, and we've helped you put together a winning query package. It's time to send your baby out to seek its fame and fortune.
Pre-writing Podcast: Having Trouble Putting Words on the Page?
Authors have their own writing habits, and sometimes they can be slightly odd-they may have to write first thing in the morning, only late at night, or never on Tuesdays! When asked, every author will offer different advice about how to begin the pre-writing process. What is pre-writing, you ask? We explain the pre-writing process in this podcast.
