Karnataka Beach Tourism
Embellishing the western coast of India, beaches of Karnataka are an epitome of exquisiteness, grace and serenity. Covering a length of 320 Km, they are among the best tourist attraction in Karnataka. The beaches of Karnataka proffer you a world totally unknown but highly craved for. To cut loose from the mundane and wearing chores and to rejuvenate you, there is no better way than spending some quality time by the side of shimmering blue Arabian Sea. Many of the beaches are still to be discovered by tourists. As most of the locales here live a slow life, and are not much into promoting tourism, these heavenly beaches remain under wraps. Dotted with fascinating temples and forts, you are in for a lot more than just water sports and sunbathing.
Murudeshwar Beach
Murudeshwar Beach proves to be a splendid place for pilgrims as well as for tourists. Just 1 Km from Bhatkal, Murudeshwar is among the most visited beaches in Karnataka. There is a temple build in Murudeshwar, at a place where the part of Pranalinga thrown by King Ravana fell. The temple is brimming with exquisite statues and carvings. The temple is visited by numerous pilgrims throughout the year. Situated between unending seas, and ever so high mountains, Murudeshwar is a splendid place to spend time alone or for a picnic with your family.
Malpe Beach
Malpe beach situated just 6 Km from Udupi is the most gracious beaches of all in Karnataka. No other beach offers so much calm and tranquility mixed with such stupendous beauty. Lying under the shadow of swaying palm trees, listening to the winds ruffling its leaves, rejuvenates the soul to the deepest. When on Malpe beach, do not forget to explore the island of Darya Bahadurgadh. On the island, visit Balarama Temple and Malpe's oldest tile factory. Another island, to where you can plan a trip to, is St. Mary's Island. The island is 300 m long and 100 m wide and its uniqueness is in the basalt rock formations that rise abruptly from the sea bed in various shapes.

One thing is for sure that there is no place better than Marawanthe Beach to enjoy a sunset. Most of the beach remains un-congested throughout the day. One can see few fishermen carrying on with their daily chores and kids playing with the sand. Some parts of the beach offer options for water-sports as well. Taking a walk in the late evening, under the streetlights, over the cool sands, is a feeling that is set to stay with you for the rest of your life.

QUALITY '41 Willys bodies?
Yes...I posted a similar question in the "bodies" section as well...I am looking for an extremely good quality Willys body, and need feedback on a couple of companies. I already know that Outlaw is top notch, and have heard Dennis Taylor stuff is also great stuff...but I have also heard great things about a company out of Buffalo NY called "A & C Autos"...or "Antique and Collectable Autos"...Anyone familiar with them? I know they do only all "hand-laid" glass bodies, reinforced with wood....and are dimensionally correct...but have never seen them in person. I have also heard good things about Heritage. Obviously I want best quality with minimal cost. (Don't we all...) I have only heard negative things about Willys Works, Active Power and a few others....(and of course the dreaded "Street Beasts"). Whichever I choose, I will probably have the same company build the chassis too, so that is a consideration as well. I appreciate any feedback re: this, and, being a new guy here, thanks for having such a great board for my questions.
Well first stop measuring peoples garages for God's sake!!!
Oh yea:I live my life a quarter mile at a time for those ten seconds OR LESS I'm free.
[ October 31, 2002: Message edited by: 78 monte ]

Hahahah....geez Sammy...I didn't know that Monte was a Yenko??? You better get off-line and start looking for Street's '79 Camaro before he wakes up and realizes what a boat-anchor that car is!!!
Also...what about "american Street Rod Design" bodies?? Anybody have any idea about them??
Forget about active power, I did a 41 willys for a friend that was made by active power and let me tell you this thing was about as bottom of the barrel as they come. Would never even think about touching one of those again. For example the doors only open a certain amount then they hit the front fenders, I called active power on this and there reply was "we sell cloth straps to stop the doors before they hit the fenders". Well this guy is 6"3 and he can barely fit in the door opening, thats how short it opens.Hood fit was a real joke, did the best I could possible do with it. That was just a couple of the many issues with this body, my advise stay away from this one even if you can get it for next to nothing.
Check out the post´s date, reckon he must have found one by now.
Yea... I found one alright
In march of '03 I landed a partially built OUTLAW body with custom chassis, 454 crate motor with 6-71 Kuhl Blower, 700r4, Rod lites with 18.5 Hoosiers, MSD ignition, walker radiator,....basically alot of the stuff we need to get the thing going. Its STILL in production as I am saving for an EFI / Enderle bugcatcher unit for it, as well aas building zoomies for it. Damn glad I found the OUTLAW THOU .
41 Willy`s body
I bought a 41 willys body from Active Power and put a $3000 deposit on the body and after 4 month`s of waiting ,The owner Chrs told me he spent the money on the building rent and would try and get my body finished. I finally received the body and it had air bubbles in the fiberglass and some spot`s the fiberglass was real thin . The door`s do not open all the way with out hitting the fenders and the hood was not wide enough to fit fender to fender, and there was not enough lip on the fenders to bolt them together. All he could tell me is have my body man fix it !!!!! Stay far away from ACTIVE POWER !!!!

At last some stirrings of life in the UK economy: average incomes may have fallen by 1.8 per cent but according to the Sunday Times, the 1,000 richest people in the country are 4.7 per cent wealthier than last year.
It's been a good year for diamond dealers, JCB manufacturers, luxury bag exporters, scrap metal merchants and the owners of chains of pound stores; also, oddly, Sir James Dyson. That Dyson and his bagless vacuum cleaners prosper is, of course, the occasion for rejoicing. That he prospers quite so much — whacking an extra billion on his fortune in the last year alone — does send us scurrying for explanations.
We know Greggs is a winner in the recession. Are all those vacuum cleaners a response to the rise in scatterings of flaky pastry from the cheese and onion slices that sustain us? Or is it the Airblades — does this vast figure represent a 50 per cent rise in men leaving pub toilets with traumatised toddlers and slightly clammy hands? Or can it be those weird bladeless fans that look like something you'd find bolted onto a Japanese loo? Who knows?
I begrudge him none of it — the job-creating, export-boosting little rascal. But looking at the picture overall, the fact that the 1,000 richest people in the country got nearly five per cent richer, while the average person got nearly two per cent poorer, isn't great news for the Government — except in the sense that lots of them are Tory donors.
You shouldn't expect greater equality from Tories: that isn't, philosophically, what they are about. Fairness, in the conservative political vocabulary, is not the same thing as equality. There are coherent defences of that position: that enterprise deserves reward, the state is best that governs least, the idle deserve to starve in their hovels and so on.
But the main sell to an electorate that by and large is not very rich isn't devil-take-the-hindmost capitalism. It is the idea that prosperity trickles down. We're all in this together, they say, and you don't make the poor richer by making the rich poorer. Here is where they run into a problem: manifestly, the rich getting richer is doing nothing to prevent the poor getting poorer. To those simple souls without a PhD in Hayekian economics and a well-thumbed library of Ayn Rand novels, that not only looks unequal: it looks unfair.
Now even swans feel the long arm of the law
The Scream Gallery in Bruton Street has been forced to take down a photograph of a woman apparently having sex with a swan. Derrick Santini's rather lovely artwork, depicting the myth of Leda, was removed after a police officer passing the gallery on a bus decided that it condoned bestiality — "an arrestable offence". On a technicality, we could point out that this can hardly be held to condone bestiality since the swan is raping the woman, rather than vice-versa.
Since relatively few swans frequent Bruton Street, it's unlikely that one will see the picture, get ideas into its swanny head and pose a threat to the public. Come to that, if any women do fancy swans: have a go. I double-dare you. In so doing, no doubt, I risk arrest should I be overheard by a policeman on a bus. Sometimes you just want to give up, don't you?
Get your fix of Horlicks
Ever since I saw Seamus Heaney, on stage at a literary festival, asked by an audience member whether he'd have a cup of tea with her afterwards (SH: "Heh. You'll have to speak to my agent." Audience member: "I'm not joking." SH: "..."), I've known that the most dramatic and unpredictable interventions in author events come with the audience Q & A. So it was with Irvine Welsh when I chaired a reading of his new novel, Skagboys, at the Purcell Rooms earlier this week.
One audience member, musing on the complex motivations of Sick Boy, Welsh's amoral manipulator in Trainspotting, wondered aloud: "Is he just a ****?" Irvine endorsed this diagnosis. Another asked whether the author had taken heroin and, if so, whether it was as nice as being a bestselling novelist (Irvine straight-batted that one with the advice that heroin wasn't to be messed with). Finally: if the Eighties were the decade of heroin, the Nineties the decade of ecstasy and the Noughties the coke years, what drug would define this decade? IW: "Horlicks."
Please get a grip, students
Campaigning to be elected as Librarian of the Oxford Union, 19-year-old Madeline Grant included in her campaigning material the jocular interjection: "I don't hack, I just have a great rack." On Wednesday, she is to be brought before a formal disciplinary committee charged with bringing the Union into disrepute.
Oh, for crying out loud. The Oxford Union is a student club. Its elections are really slightly less important than the elections for officers of a college's Junior Common Room (which, in my day, routinely saw the Ribena machine installed as president). If Miss Grant should be disciplined for anything, it's that wretched comma splice. I'd have gone for a semi-colon.

Oxidized carbon nanotubes with sorbates. Credit: Ball Lab / JHU
The Institute for NanoBioTechnology (INBT) at Johns Hopkins University strives to be integrative and multidisciplinary. With 170 faculty and more than two dozen graduate students and undergraduates with backgrounds as diverse as physics and computational medicine, the institute has sought to broaden skills and foster collaborations among its student body and its faculty members. That collaboration now extends to the relationship between science and the mass media through a course called Communication for Scientists and Engineers, which aims to give INBT's graduate students hands-on experience in learning how to communicate complex ideas to non-technical audiences.
Spiro, course instructor and science writer for INBT, knows first hand the important relationship and possible misunderstanding that can occur between scientists and the media.
Scientific ideas, though important for the public to know, are sometimes hard to comprehend or may seem irrelevant to interests of the non-scientist, Spiro explains, and this can make it difficult to convey the significance of scientific investigation to those not engaged in it.
"On the other hand, journalists are looking for novel stories, are under tight deadlines and may have an inaccurate view of the length and complexity of the scientific process," Spiro says. "Reporters want to hear about the next breakthrough."
Although the course is not aimed at training INBT's graduate students to work as reporters, the overall goal is for them to "gain an appreciation for the importance of communicating scientific ideas clearly and to learn a few tools to successfully do that," she says. With her formal training as both a journalist and a scientist in mind, Spiro designed the course for science and engineering graduate students to understand the basic components of the media such as "learning how to write a press release, giving a press conference, and interviewing each other."
Spiro taught a course in science writing for scientists and engineers during the January 2008 Intersession. In January 2009, she will teach a new course that focuses on communicating science through video production, requiring students to work in front of and behind the camera. Spiro hopes that in addition to the writing skills the students develop for communicating their ideas to the public, the focus on video in this new course will add a "different dimension to communicating science," and highlight an additional medium that scientists can use to advance their scientific ideas to the public.
Public relations experts and media professionals also speak to the class. Guest speakers in 2008 included Davide Castelvecchi from Science News; Gail Porter, director of public and business affairs at the National Institute for Standards and Technology; and Joann Rodgers, director of Media Relations and Public Affairs for Johns Hopkins Medicine.
Graduate students in INBT's fellowship programs are required to take at least one of Spiro's science communication courses, either the writing course or the video course. This training is considered part of their professional development training. A few of the student articles written during the 2008 science writing course have been posted to INBT's Web site (see below). Spiro plans to have work produced during the course on video news releases to be posted by spring 2009.
Examples of student writing include:
* Water: More than just a drink.
* Nanoparticle clusters offer surprises for physical chemists.

I have tried to modify your events templates. I have a registration form for a cat show that would provide most of the info needed. We need a participant database, cat info tab, and payment tab for sure. I will be purchasing for our next cat show.
The challenge is to input the information of an event that may have different times for a different day of the week. As I understand your program can only enter from a start date to end date - I need to edit a daily event on a weekly schedule.

Antarctic Plane crash
27/01/2013 , 10:11 PM by Philip Ashley-Brown
The crash of the Kenn Borak Air Twin Otter last week will leave many Australian expeditioners shell shocked and very sad. It's presumed that pilot Bob Heath and crew of Mike Denton and Perry Anderson didn't survive the crash on the side of Mt Elizabeth while under charter to the Italians.
Bob Heath was a likeable, outgoing character who was well known in the Australian stations. The AAD uses Kenn Borak Air and the Canadian air crews are regulars at the Australian bases. When Geoff and I were at Casey we spent a fair bit of time talking to the Canadian flight crew and in particular to Bob who took an interest in mentoring the younger pilots. Bob was taking the Twin Otter over to Davis during our stay and had been delayed for a number of days. After one of the flight briefings I watched him carefully briefing his co-pilot and using the spare time to teach him about flying in Antarctic conditions.
Bob gave me a great interview and was the only person I spoke to who was able to give me a true sense of the size of Antarctica. He was a great bloke, he loved working with the AAD and he'll be sadly missed by many people.Picture: Bob Heath, January 2013. Photo Geoff Overmyer, ABC.

This is very weird. I mean, it struck me particularly as odd since two weeks ago I posted a comic strip whose main character was a Canadian pilot that survived a plane crash in Antarctica. My character was piloting a Twin Otter, too, and he bears an uncanny resemblance to Bob Heath.
Spooky! I hope they find them soon.

Zachariah Lee Zelk
ZACHARIAH LEE ZELK, 31 years old of rural Mountain Home, has been arrested and charged with theft of a motor vehicle following an investigation into a complaint made to the Sheriff's Office on January 7th.
The owner of a 1986 Jeep truck valued at $3,000 reported to the Sheriff's Office that the vehicle had been parked at her residence at 6192 Highway 201 South with the keys left in the ignition. She called the Sheriff's Office on the morning of January 7th after she found that her vehicle had been backed into a tree on the neighboring property at 6175 Highway 201 South and had sustained damage to the instrument cluster, tail gate, rear bumper, and rear lights. The damage was estimated to be approximately $1,000.
ZACHARIAH ZELK was immediately developed as a suspect based partially upon evidence left behind in the truck. ZELK was believed to be inside the residence at 6175 Highway 201 South. ZELK was known to be on parole. When he would not answer the door at the residence, his parole officer was called to the residence, and ZELK then came to the door. ZELK was taken into custody. He later confessed to stealing the vehicle.
ZELK is being held in the Baxter County Detention Center on a criminal charge of Theft of Property – Felony, with bond of $5,000, and also for a Parole Violation with no bond. ZELK will appear in Baxter County Circuit Court at a later date to answer the charge.

How to choose the best bathroom lighting
The bathroom is one of the most special residential areas in our home. This is because the bathrooms are rooms that are high-trafficked areas, and furthermore, all family members use them.
On the other hand, the lighting in general is also one of the most important aspects of the furnishing. It is therefore necessary to carefully consider the best bathroom lighting in personal terms, because if you correctly approach, it can inspire your entire home.
Probably a good idea is to try to help you with some general rules and tips on organizing the lighting in the bathroom.
The first thing, which you should consider when choosing your bathroom lighting, is exactly what will be its function and role. If it comes to the main bathroom lighting, i.e., the light illuminates the entire room and it is not specifically targeted on a specific area, the market can offer a wide variety of beautiful products. The hanging lights are widely available, and offered in so many different colors, designs and styles that the choice is very easy. These bathroom lights are particularly suitable if you want to bring more grace and style in your bathroom decor, for example.
Should you, want to provide more light on any particular part of the bathroom, then the wall lamps are a perfect idea. They are really very practical, especially when it comes to activities such as shaving, cleansing the face, brushing teeth or making just another shower. The wall lamps offer a sufficiently strong and balanced lighting, they can be installed easily anywhere and be a great accent to your bathroom decor.
Another type of bathroom lighting this is accent lighting. Its purpose is to emphasize certain details in the interior. Here we must note that the market offers fantastically models of decorative and built-in vanities and mirrors lighting. The bathroom lighting mirrors and bathroom lighting vanities are very popular lately. They can be perfect as a means of decoration, but also they are practical enough and can make your daily care of personal hygiene easier and pleasant.
The beauty of your bathroom decor will shine more if you using options of light and thus to visually distinguish areas in the room – this is also a great design idea.
The bathroom areas, intended for bath and shower may be illuminated differently from the area adapted for shaving, for example.
The most popular example of chic bathroom lighting is the colored lights, and you can apply it with great success for your shower area, because its light is softer and has a relaxing effect, while the use of more powerful lamps is suitable mainly for mirror zones.
Finally must emphasize that the bathroom lighting fixtures have more specific requirements, than those used in other areas. This place is with high humidity and you should buy only products with a high level of protection. The low voltage systems are most suitable for use in the bathroom and they can easily adapt to high-voltage network using a transformer.
Well-chosen bathroom lighting fixtures and lamps can completely change your interior and make it very elegant and stylish. So just, need to act boldly, use your imagination, and be sure to create wonders for your home.

Next U-M Match: Sunday, Oct. 26 -- vs. Indiana (U-M Soccer Stadium), 7 p.m. [ Tickets ]
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The University of Michigan men's soccer team earned its second Big Ten Conference win of the season, defeating the Wisconsin Badgers, 2-1, on Sunday (Oct. 20) at U-M Soccer Stadium.
A side volley laser from from senior/junior Tyler Arnone (Hicksville, N.Y./Hicksville) in the 87th minute from 24 yards out proved to be the difference as U-M also claimed its second match in a row.
The Wolverines came out the gates firing the first three shots of the match in the opening 20 minutes. The first Badger try came in the 27th minute, and was followed by a Nick Jones chip shot that rang off the crossbar just inside the 18 five minutes later.
The Badgers went on to outshoot U-M, 9-0, in the final 18 minutes of the opening stanza, as neither side could break through.
The trend reversed for the Maize and Blue early in the second half, as an indirect kick from senior Fabio Pereira (Sao Paulo, Brazil/South Kent School (Conn.)) from the top of the 18 was turned away via an acrobatic save from Badger keeper Casey Beyers.
The Michigan pressure was unrelenting, as sophomore James Murphy (Oxford, England/Henry Boxx School) scored the first goal of the match in the 53rd minute, as he picked off a pass back to Beyers and finished with a bending shot into the right side of the goal from 14 yards out.
Wisconsin found the equalizer 11 minutes later, as a failed clearance was volleyed home right side upper 90 by the right foot of Nick Janus from 25 yards out to knot the match at 1-1.
In the 87th minute, Arnone played the role of hero, as junior/sophomore Colin McAtee (San Diego, Calif./Torrey Pines) took a feed from Pereira down the left flank. McAtee went on to play a centering ball to Arnone right in the middle of the park. His right-footed volley found the back of the net for the winning goal.
Michigan returns to action for its third of five consecutive home matches Saturday (Oct. 26) against defending NCAA champion Indiana at 7 p.m. The match will air on the Big Ten Network.

Argentina's leader populist, but no longer popular
Latin View
BUENOS AIRES — Things are not going well for Argentine President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner — only fourteen months after winning re-election by a landslide, barely a week goes by in which she doesn't do something that raises questions about her political wisdom and emotional stability.
Last weekend, Fernández de Kirchner published a long and irate letter on her Facebook page criticizing Oscar-winning actor Ricardo Darín — this country's most popular actor, and one of the most beloved ones — for telling a show-business magazine that she should reveal the source of her fortune.
In an interview with Brando magazine, Darín had wondered aloud about the sources of the president's wealth, which according to the daily La Nación has soared by 1,155 per cent, to about $19 million since her late husband Nestor Kirchner took office in 2003.
Fernández de Kirchner's Jan 6 response to Darín in an angry 22-paragraph letter she published on Facebook — and promoted several times on her Twitter page — lashed out against those who question her honesty, and in turn accused Darín of having been charged and arrested by a judge in 1991 for smuggling a station wagon into the country.
Darín subsequently told reporters that the president had had misrepresented his case, and that a judge had acquitted him of any wrongdoing. But by then, the front pages of Argentina's largest independent newspapers were exploding with statements of support for Darín from show business stars and leading intellectuals.
Doesn't the president have more important things to do than respond to a passing comment by an actor in a show-business magazine? many asked. And, more important, shouldn't the president clear the matter by answering how she managed to multiply her wealth while in office, others wondered.
On Tuesday, a new scandal hit the headlines: the president had leased a British-made Global Express 7000 jet for a trip to Cuba and Asia, to avoid Argentina's creditors from seizing the presidential plane.
Late last year, a judge in Ghana, responding to claims by Argentina's bond holders in New York, had seized Argentina's navy school frigate Libertad. The ship was released months later and arrived Wednesday in Argentina, where the government prepared a massive welcome in hopes of turning an international embarrassment into a political victory.
But Fernández de Kirchner's troubles go way beyond the latest headlines. Huge pot-banging anti-government demonstrations late last year against government corruption and official currency exchange controls surprised even government officials, and Fernández de Kirchner's popularity has fallen to 30 per cent, according to recent polls.
What most irks many Argentines is Fernández de Kirchner's habit of demonizing all critics as public enemies, and her government's systematic lying about everything from crime statistics to poverty and inflation rates.
While independent economists agree that Argentina's inflation is 25 per cent — among the world's highest — the government-run INDEC statistics' institute maintains it's of only 9.7 per cent. This should "go the Guinness Book of Records… of statistical hogwash," wrote former INDEC statistics director Victor Beker in the daily Clarín earlier this week.
Argentina's economy is likely to grow by 3 per cent this year, thanks to high international prices for Argentina's soybean exports that will temporarily prolong Fernández de Kirchner's "soja y suerte" ("soybeans and luck") economic formula. But that's way below the country's 9 per cent growth rates in recent years.
And the president's apparent plan to change the Constitution and seek re-election in 2015 is running into growing difficulties. Fernández de Kirchner's legal crusade to silence the independent Clarín media group long before legislative elections this October — which officials hope will elect a new Congress that could rewrite election laws and allow the president's reelection — has not yet been approved by the courts.
My opinion: Time is running against Argentina's president. If her crusade to silence the Clarín media group doesn't succeed by mid-2013, Fernández de Kirchner's re-election drive will look increasingly unlikely. That, in turn, will embolden growing numbers of journalists, politicians and judges to turn against her.
Fernández de Kirchner, a charismatic speaker, could still reverse her declining popularity if she called for a national dialogue, stopped insulting critics and abandoned the Venezuelan model of constantly creating confrontations with real or imagined enemies — whether it's the media, the business community or foreign countries — to justify the accumulation of absolute powers. But so far, as her letter to Darín shows, she doesn't seem to be getting the message that presidents should be accountable to their people, and not the other way around.

Secretary of Defense Robert Gates on his recent visit to Afghanistan saw progress in the fight against Taliban forces. Of course, the day before he spoke about progress, General David Petraeus told the media there was evidence of a growth in force among the Taliban. Back in Washington D.C. the president told the nation since we had completed the job in Iraq–or, at least, sort of finished something– we are now on the path of beginning withdrawal of some troops from Afghanistan next summer. We can only assume President Barack Obama will accept the verdict as to whether or not the Taliban are on the run from anyone who expresses the opinion the Taliban are on the run. Step back for a moment. The war in Afghanistan has been going on for NINE YEARS. Reality is that former president George Bush fouled up by not focusing on Afghanistan and placing our forces in Iraq which simply led to SEVEN YEARS of war.
There is NO evidence of great progress in Afghanistan. In making this statement one is not insulting members of the armed forces. They have been thrust into a failed situation and are doing admirable work, but problems stem from other sources. An outside Christian military can not defeat the Taliban in Afghanistan. Our basic problem is the inept, failed government of President Karzai. Either that government is reformed or we should be heading home the coming January. That, is REALITY.

I read the reviews and I was a little nervous about the pain. You can do up to 4, 15 min rounds. The first round was fine, didnt hurt at all, the second round I got the ZING that people talk about but it still wasnt bad. the 3rd round was TERRIBLE! I had to stop half way in. My teeth did come up 2/3 shades, I am excited to try the take home trays to see if they come up a little more. I personally would not go through the pain again, it was worse than child birth. I cried all the way home, the pain 96% gone by the next morning. My doctor was amazing the pain was just really bad.

2/1 Smackdown, 1/30 Main Event & SMS Spoilers
Saturday Morning Slam:
Sheamus defeated Cody Rhodes with White Noise. Dolph Ziggler was at ringside on commentary.
Justin Gabriel defeated Heath Slater with the 450 splash in about a 5 minute match. Drew McIntyre and Jinder Mahal get kicked out as soon as the match starts.
Read more:
Main Event:
MizTV with Ryback kicks off the show. Rybacks told Miz that he was a big fan of the show. They talked about last week's match with Antonio Cesaro, which prompted Cesaro to come out insulting Miz and Ryback. This led to our first match, Cesaro vs. Ryback.
* Ryback defeated Antonio Cesaro by count out. At one point Ryback had Cesaro up for a standing suplex for about 10 seconds, which was impressive. Ryback pretty much dominated the whole match with the exception of Cesaro knocking him out the ring for about 9 seconds. This led Cesaro to control the match for a few minutes before Ryback regained control. Ryback went for Shell Shock, but Cesaro escaped and kicked Miz (who was on commentary) in the face before escaping though the crowd. Huge heat for Cesaro.
A recap was shown of RAW Roulette and the segment with Vince McMahon and Paul Heyman.
Backstage segment with The Prime Time Players and Tensai. PTP make fun of Tensai for wearing lingerie. Brodus Clay walked in and told Tensai not to sweat it. Tensai got mad, said it wasn't funny and walked away.
* Tensai vs. Titus O'Neil (with Darren Young) is up next. At one point, PTP were going to double team Tensai, but Brodus came out and said no. Brodus stayed at ringside and was supporting Tensai. There were lot's of "Let's Go Tensai" chants. Titus bodyslammed Tensai at one point. Later, Tensai got Titus in the corner and mocked his doc call. Tensai picked up the win via pinfall. After the match, Brodus Clay got Tensai to dance. Looks like we just saw a face turn.
Smackdown kicks off with Booker T entering the ring for his big announcement. Sheamus, Randy Orton, Dolph Ziggler, The Great Khali, Kane and Daniel Bryan are in the ring for the announcement. Alberto Del Rio is shown outside with a bat waiting for The Big Show. Booker starts to announce that they will compete in the Elimination Chamber, but gets interrupted by Jack Swagger. Swagger says that he wants in the Chamber match, even though there are only 6 spots. Ziggler says he already has a guaranteed shot and that he isn't competing in the Chamber. Booker T said that Ziggler can chicken out of the Chamber match, but he can't chicken out of his match with Alberto Del Rio tonight. As for the others, they have to impress Booker and Teddy Long to gain a spot.
* Rey Mysterio & Sin Cara vs. WWE Tag Team Champions Team Hell No is our first match of the night. Kane and Rey start. Rey gets some offense in early on and tags in Sin Cara, who gets dominated by Kane. Daniel Bryan is tagged in and Cara gains the advantage. Fast paced match with the crowd behind Rey and Sin Cara. Late in the nmatch, Kane is working over Sin Cara and tagged in Bryan, while Cara made the hot tag to Rey. Rey got in some offense on Bryan and set him up for a 619, but Kane tried to block it with a chokeslam. Rey kicked Kane out of the ring, and Bryan locked in the No Lock. Sin Cara broke it up, Rey hit the 619 on Bryan and gets the win. Team Hell No argued after the match. Said to be a great match.
A video recap of Alberto Del Rio and Big Show from The Royal Rumble and RAW is shown.
Matt Striker attempts to interview Del Rio outside, who is still waiting with a bat. Del Rio said that he was getting fresh air and told Striker to leave him alone.
A recap of the 3MB - Great Khali segment from RAW is shown.
* Jinder Mahal (with Drew McIntyre and Heath Slater) vs. The Great Khali (with Natalya and Hornswoggle) is next. 3MB tried to interfere, but Hornswoggle blocked that. Khali destroyed Mahal in a short match.
Backstage segment with Booker T and Teddy Long discussing Jack Swagger's return, and Teddy Long revealed that it was his idea. Team Rhodes Scholars interrupted and quoted something, and then hugged for a long time. Booker makes Sheamus vs. Damien Sandow for later tonight, and then said, "you're welcome."
A recap of the Vince McMahon - Paul Heyman segment from RAW was shown, which was the same package shown on Main Event. A WWE exclusive video showing Vince being stretchered out of the arena with Stephanie beside him is also shown.
Del Rio is shown out back still waiting.
A recap of John Cena winning the Rumble, deciding on which title to go after and then getting attacked by The Shield is shown.
* Damien Sandow vs. Sheamus is in progress. It looks like the Shield might interrupt this match as extra security was just set up near the side they usually come through, plus some camera men headed that way. Sandow took the early advantage. Sheamus fought back and started to dominate when the Shield entered and attacked Sheamus. Rollins is in first, but gets laid out by Shbeat him down and then planted him with the triple power bomb. The hits were hard, and Rollins sold well. The Shield then left through the crowd.
* Wade Barrett vs. Randy Orton. Barrett dominated early. He sat Orton on the middle rope and kicked him off it to the outside. Cool move. Outside of the ring, Barrett missed a forearm into a pole. Orton put him in the ring and hit an RKO for the victory.
Backstage Wade Barrett is being interviewed about losing to Bo Dallas, but says nothing. Barrett sees Dallas and attacks him. Dallas fights back, but Barrett throws him into gear.
* Kofi Kingston vs. Jack Swagger. Swagger dominated Kofi early on using wrestling moves. Kofi kept trying to find back, but Swagger kept putting him back down. Kofi finally is able to knock Swagger down and hits the Boom Drop. Swagger fights back, but Kofi sends him out of the ring. They fight outside with Kofi missing a kick and accidentally kicking the announce table. Swagger then rolled Kofi in the ring and defeated him via submission with the ankle lock. Swagger looked good, it looks like he'll be getting pushed.
Back outside, and Del Rio hides as The Big Show's bus pulls in. Big Show gets out and Del Rio attacks him. Show tries to get away and tries to climb on top of a car. Del Rio breaks the window and they fight on top of the car. The play a game of chase around the car before Show gets in another car and drives off.
A recap of The Rock - CM Punk segment from RAW is shown.
* Alberto Del Rio vs. Dolph Ziggler. This was said to be really good. The crowd was hot for Ziggler early on. Early in the match, Del Rio was on the top rope but AJ Lee distracted the referee and Big E pushed Del Rio to the mat. The referee then ejected AJ and Big E, but the distraction put Ziggler in control of the match. Ziggler kept control for awhile until Del Rio managed to catch him on the top rope and superplexed him. The crowd is behind Del Rio, who plants a side kick to Ziggler's face. Ziggler kicked out and countered Del Rio's arm lock and hit a famasser, but Del Rio kicked out. Del Rio hit a backbreaker, but Ziggler kicked out. Del Rio jumped off the top rope, but Ziggler caught him in the air with a drop kick. The crowd started chanting, "this is awesome!" Del Rio eventually locked in the arm bar to get the win.
As Del Rio celebrated, Big Show is shown backstage holding Ricardo by the neck and then delivered the KO punch. Del Rio rushed backstage and Ricardo is knocked out. The show ended at this point.
Big Show comes out to the ring in street clothes and talks trash and insults the crowd. Del Rio tries to make it to the ring, and fights trainers to come out to the ramp. Del Rio eventually breaks through and runs in, but Show spears him. Show then grabbed a chair. Del Rio managed to get the chair and nail Big Show with it about 10 times. Show then rolled out of the ring and ran away. Del Rio celebrated in the ring to a huge pop.

Bumped from flight, Georgia man's airport lipsync video an instant hit
By Alex Dobuzinskis
(Reuters) - When he got bumped from his flight, traveler Richard Dunn never imagined that a video he made of himself lipsyncing to a Celine Dion hit while killing time at the Las Vegas airport would turn him into an instant celebrity.
But since the 43-year-old lighting designer from suburban Atlanta posted the video of himself lipsyncing to the song "All By Myself" online on Sunday, the clip has received more than 13 million views.
The five-minute video shows Dunn looking forlorn as he lipsyncs in an empty terminal at McCarran International Airport, and includes scenes in which he pours bottled water over himself, sings to a statue of a turtle and opens his jacket to reveal an "I (heart) LV" T-shirt.
On Thursday, Celine Dion posted a short video message online calling the piece hilarious and inviting Dunn to be a guest at one of her Las Vegas shows.
All this for a video that Dunn said he made only to amuse his wife and friends. He shot it in the early morning hours of June 6 before a 6 a.m. flight home, after he completed a job lighting a corporate event in Las Vegas.
"I've got two minutes left on the 15-minute fame clock and it's nothing more, my wife and I are just having a blast with it," Dunn said.
But some commentators questioned whether Dunn really was all by himself or if he had help making the video.
In response, Dunn posted a "behind the scenes" video on YouTube on Friday that shows unedited footage, demonstrating how he set up his iPhone to capture himself lipsyncing and performing his homemade brand of comedy. Continued...

Courtney Robertson Locks Lips with Arie Luyendyk
Barely a week after ending her engagement to Ben Flajnik, it seems that Courtney Robertson is already moving on to a new romance.
On Thursday (October 11), "The Bachelor" contestant tweeted a photo of a candlelit dinner table and two glasses of wine accompanied with the caption, "Beautiful night... #RedWineImFine."
TMZ later followed up the post with pictures from inside the restaurant, where Robertson and former "Bachelorette" contestant Arie Luyendyk, Jr., were seen kissing and getting cozy at the table.
Just last month, Ben met up with Arie for the first time, and had nothing but kind words to say about him when he tweeted, "Had dinner with Ari last night b/c he is up in Sonoma driving IndyCar all weekend," adding, "a solid dude who has his head on straight. I can see why everyone liked him on the show."
Now, Flajnik commented on the situation via his social media page, saying he is definitely "surprised" to hear the news.

That is why they continue the anti-gun sentiment and training/teaching in school. Guns are bad..... ooh gun shirt = suspension ; ooh you made a gun symbol with your fingers suspension; toy gun? omg suspension.... what? you used a stick to play army and simulate a gun? suspension..... they are trying to brain wash generations so one day they can just trickle guns out of their lives as future generations grow older and one day the majority will be all for it.... this is why proper firearm training and getting kids and new shooters involved is vital to the firearms survival in our culture.... they are working hard to brainwash and indoctrinate the kids in public schools.... we must work extra hard to block their attempts at indoctrinating the kids into the gun control agenda.....
