With An Eye Toward The Postseason ... After a two-year hiatus, the Big Ten Tournament returns in one month, being held Nov. 2-6 in Evanston, Ill. The top eight teams from the conference will vie for the tournament championship and the league's automatic berth to the NCAA Tournament. Northwestern will serve as host and automatically gets a spot in the tournament field, regardless of its finish during the regular season. [ 2011 Big Ten Tournament Central ]
The Long Battle ... Michigan will play the rest of the season without junior Holly Hein, who had surgery on Sept. 29 to treat thyroid cancer. Hein, who played six games, will redshirt the remainder of the season with an eye on returning next season as a redshirt junior. The team will wear teal armbands with Hein's No. 21 embroidered for the rest of the season. [ Feature: Hein Determined to Win Another Battle ]
Other Notes ... Freshman Chloe Sosenko earned her second collegiate start last Saturday against Northwestern.

When everybody is speculating whether and when there will be a war between China and Japan over a few rocks in the East China Sea, on China's TV screens, China's anti-Japan war never stopped. TV dramas depicting heroic stories during the Sina-Japanese War in the early 20th century have a long history in China to be used as part of both history and patriotism education. The year of 2012, probably due to the never-ending island dispute between China and Japan, has been a particularly fruitful year for TV dramas with anti-Japan themes.
According to Nanfang Daily, in 2012, among the 200-something TV dramas aired on prime time at all of China's satellite TV channels, over 70 are about the Sino-Japanese War or spy wars. Together with the popularity of Sino-Japanese War themed TV dramas, rises a new anti-Japan base, the Hengdian World Studios, the largest film studio in Asia that is located in Hengdian, a town in the city of Dongyang, Zhejiang province. According to Caijing, some 700 million "Japanese soldiers" died at the Studio in 2012. That's enough corpses to circulate the earth 3 times.
In 2012, Hengdian World Studios hosted a total of 150 production teams, of which 48 (about 30%) filmed something related to the Sino-Japanese War. The Studio hired a total of 300,000 extras (person-time) in 2012, and 60% have played Japanese soldiers.
So many Japanese soldiers died at the Studio that it has been budded by Chinese netizens as the new "anti-Japan base" (Anti-Japan base is used to describe areas in China that were controlled by China's Communist Party during the Sino-Japanese War). On Feb,3, @横店影视城娱乐频道, the official Sina Weibo (China's Twitter) account of Hengdian World Studios, commented:
"Just took a walk around the studio. Everything looked great. Japanese soldiers were dying in all the possible ways you can think of. Many of them need to rush to several different production teams a day, dying at different scenes from day to night. It's a heated New Year and Japanese soldiers are dying in heaps."
And of course, Chinese netizens never stop to show their sarcasm: "A Japanese guy travels to Zhejiang province and finds a local tour guide. He gives the tour guide 3,000 yuan. He wants to go to the place where Japanese soldiers died in the biggest numbers during the Sino-Japanese War to worship his ancestors who died in China. The tour guide takes the money, uses 300 yuan to book a car. After an hour, they arrive at the place – Hengdian World Studios."
It's joke, but nevertheless has some truth in it. Zhi Zhongpeng, a professional extra who has been working at Hengdian World Studios for more than 4 years, told in an interview that the role he got most is a Japanese soldier. In 2012, he played Japanese soldiers for more than 200 times in over 30 Sino-Japanese War themed TV dramas. In an extremely case, he, in the role of a Japanese soldier, "died" 8 times in a day. His tip for those who want to be a Japanese soldier extra? Try to look vicious and sleazy. And his biggest dream as an actor? To play Chinese soldier one day.
If the sheer number of such TV dramas is enough to raise eyebrows, the way in which Japanese soldiers and Chinese anti-Japan heroes are depicted is even worse. Many netizens thought that these TV shows are more like sci-fi dramas than war dramas – anti-Japan heroes are acting like Neo in the Matrix with the ability to dodge bullets and mastering Superman kung fu. The Japanese soldiers, on the other hand, are acting like stupid @sses who don't know where to shoot.
An anti-Japan hero tears apart a Japanese soldier with bare hands
One anti-Japan hero kills a crew of fully-armed Japanese soldiers by throwing knives
Some Chinese netizens thought the increase in such TV dramas indicated a soft and incapable Chinese government. Netizen 芝加哥的早晨 commented: "If one cannot compete with his enemy in real life, he dreams about winning in TV." Netizen 单车-小陈 was more direct: "[The Chinese government] has no guts to fight a real war over Diaoyu Islands [with Japan]. The only thing it is capable of doing is to fill TV dramas with illusions." yidongwei shared the same view: "Only someone who has always been beaten in reality would dream about victories in his imagination. It's a psychological relief."
There are also those who viewed such TV shows as a way of propaganda. Netizen 好美达商城 weighted in: "This is promoting hatred." 知梦年华 echoed, "This is to keep anti-Japan sentiment alive all the time."
The one thing that almost everybody agrees is that these TV dramas are stupid.
So you re spreading the lie as the Japanese soldier were good men doing good things in China?? Such a stupid opinion!! Why should the Japanese marching to China, killing innocent people? It is only because the Japanese have not been punished, and morrly held responsible for the war atrocities!!!
[...] war themed TV dramas in China. In February Offbeat China reported statistics that some 700 million "Japanese soldiers" were killed in anti-Japanese war themed TV dramas in China. To put the number in perspective, that's enough dead bodies to circle the earth 3 times. Zhi [...]

I had a 351C pull ATF through the modulator. Was the strangest thing I've ever experienced:
The car was new to me, was slightly overfilled when I checked the oil. I did an immediate oil and filter change, tune up, rebuilt the brakes and put in A-arm bushings (a real chore), and started using it on a daily basis.
Checked the oil and after a week's time, the oil was a little high. I chalked it up to the car not being level when I changed the oil. Also noticed the ATF was a little low; topped it up.
Next time I checked the fluids the same dam thing. Let it go like that for a while longer until I was sure I was seeing the engine gain oil and the tranny lose fluid. Checked the modulator line and it was full of ATF.
But the strange thing was, there was NO visible smoke. Nothing. Nor did the tranny (FMX) shift abnormally in any way. A new modulator fixed the problem. Still puzzled as to how it could draw enough ATF to actually raise the motor oil level, but not smoke like a chimney. It was almost as though it was only doing it when the engine was off, but I know that couldn't be, unless there was some type of siphon action taking place...
This isn't going to help with the problem, I believe the '40 DeSoto was manual-only, but that may be wrong. But a fluid drive didn't use a modulator, either.
BTW, the '40 MOPARs used an electric wiper motor. But the AMC wiper/fuel pump deal is definitely a candidate for "Weird but True".

Activity Log
Regular physical activity comes pretty close to being a "magic bullet" for weight loss. Besides burning calories—which makes it easier to achieve that all-important negative-calorie balance that leads to weight loss—exercise also helps curb appetite. Becoming more physically fit makes your body more effective at burning calories, even when you're not moving. (And of course, it's not easy to eat ice cream when you're running.)
However you choose to be active, you'll need to make changes in your daily habits. One of the most powerful tools for mastering change is keeping a diary. In the same way that a food diary helps make you aware of (and accountable for) what you eat, an Activity Log can help you build more activity into your days. It's motivating as well: by writing down each time you get moving, you give yourself credit for being active—and each activity adds up!
Starting today, take a few minutes to write down any heart-pumping activity you've completed, using the Activity Log (click to download pdf). You'll find space to list a week's worth of daily activities, the time and duration of each, as well as space to write thoughts and feelings.
For the first week, just concentrate on writing everything down and learning what you've noted about yourself.
But next week, start making an effort to track your exercise calories too. It's terrifically motivating to add up all the calories you're losing—and to see your progress in becoming fitter. How many calories you burn off depends on your size: people of different weight burn calories at different rates. Use the Calories Burned in 10 Minutes chart to help you calculate.

i agree with others, it looks good but not unique.. there are so many designs like this.
I have updated my template fixed spelling mistakes as mentioned above and changed paragraph text. it should not be related to 'Birdbox' now
Thanks guys!
typography isn't looking good..
Design and features matters, structure is not a problem!
All Blog & Magazine websites have almost same structure but different in design, colors, images etc. so why do you think i copied design from that website?
nvoi said
that is just ridiculous considering it is not your design:nvoi said
quite bold, your approach to ask for assistance on a site that has been coming soon since 2009… http://birdboxx.com/ i seemed to remember the text and googled it. The text and pretty much the same design (although more generic) has been around since 2009, just look at the source code and here for a snapshot: http://web.archive.org/web/20100107160600/http://birdboxx.com/
What are you talking about? open my design and that http://birdboxx.com/ ... and look clearly are both look same to you? or are you specially concerned about copying text line?
Nice man!! Congrats
Thank you so much for all suggestions!! my template is approved now
Thanks, i changed font to simple Arial now.. i think looking better now..
Ready for submission? Can any TF reviewer pass comment here on this design?
Photoshop has a lot more font functionality than a web browser. It applies all kinds of smoothing algorithms. The best way to replicate how a font will look on the web is to set the Anitialiasing in Photoshop to 'sharp'.

Re: Paul Heyman's World Alliance of Professional Wrestling!
World Alliance Professional Wrestling presents
Wednesday 11th February 2009
Blue Cross Arena, Rochester, New York
The programme begins with a video package containing footage of the inaugural edition of WAPW Hazard, and last week's epic show. The emphasis is on the main-event, showing the match and the screwy finish. It ends with Paul Heyman announcing that Bret Hart has been assigned to referee the main-event at Battle Lines.
"Hell Yeah"
plays in unison with the opening video for Hazard! The camera soon cuts to the live arena after the 30 second clip with the pyro display drowning out the cheers. Joey Styles and Matt Striker gear us up for another edition of WAPW! They briefly put over the massive revelation that Bret Hart will be at the first ever PPV 'Battle Lines' as referee and of course they hype tonight's main-event – Christian Cage vs. MVP in a lumberjack match! Striker also adds that a semi-final match for the North American Title tournament is tonight – Rey Mysterio vs. Sugar Daddy Lance.
Suddenly the music of Brent Albright plays, he steps out of the tunnel and proceeds to walk to the ring to a fairly quiet reception. He grasps a microphone from a ringside-technician. He feigns readying to talk into the wrong end of the mic, runs his hand through his hair, before beginning.
Albright –
Those who know me personally, know me as a quiet man. They know me as a man who will keep to himself in the back, and let his wrestling do the talking in the ring. Well to tell you the truth, they're right. Like it or not I will never stand before you people and be one of those guys that comes out to the ring, gets on a microphone, spits out a few wise-ass remarks and challenges somebody. But, having said that I am out here before you, with a microphone in hand and I'm out here to address someone – the man who I defeated last week on Hazard. Ladies and gentlemen I'm talking about Abyss. See last week when I defeated Abyss, I had imagined that I had displayed to the world that Brent Albright had arrived in WAPW and was a major talent. So I'll admit I was a little 'disheartened' to say the least when I heard James Mitchell's comments about me, and how it was "nothing more than a fluke". James Mitchell, I hope you get out from the rock you've clearly been hiding under and accept the fact that last week on Hazard I defeated your ... 'son' ... Abyss, 1,2,3 in the middle of this ring. If you want to run your mouth at my expense in order to play happy families with the big guy once again, that's fine - but don't for one second think you've gotten away with it. So with that in mind – Abyss – I'm done talking. I want you to bring yourself down here so I can beat you again, and prove to the world that Brent Albright is for
The fans opinions of Albright have certainly improved. He drops the mic, takes his white tank-top off and awaits Abyss' arrival. After a period of silence his music finally hits, and Abyss begins to surge down the metallic ramp and into the ring.
Match One
Abyss vs. Brent Albright
"An impromptu match" as Joey Styles put it – but a good prospect all the same. Brent Albright was determined to prove that his win last week wasn't a fluke, and he did it once again! The majority of fans wouldn't have given Brent too much of a chance – he knew it but was intent on changing that. The power of Abyss wasn't used to its full potential, and the big man just didn't look himself. After losing two in a row before his confidence must have been shot to pieces. Albright played on this, spinning out of Abyss' attempts of a black-hole slam, and hitting a
half-nelson suplex
! 1-2-3! The same move has now beaten Abyss twice.
Winner @ 6.02 mins – Brent Albright
The fans can't quite believe it – Brent Albright defeats Abyss
! Albright steps up onto the middle rope and beats his chest with both hands before having his hand raised. Before he knows it, the familiar sight of James Mitchell is among us as he enters the ring. Albright stands in a corner and oversees.
Mitchell –
What's the matter Abyss, surprised to see me? I'm surprised myself, after you shot me down twice in the last two weeks, and walked away like a coward. You should be fortunate that I'm so headstrong Abyss, because without my persistence, tolerance, and understanding of your situation – you would be nothing. You'd be sitting at home with your, your mother – the woman that turned you into what these people see now – a
Abyss shoots up in an apparent fit of rage and looms over Mitchell. The fear is not evident in Mitchell's eyes, rather, there is an arrogant confidence about him.
Mitchell –
Whoa, whoa – hold fire there Abyss. I'm not out here to prove anything, I'm not out here to show what kind of a failure that you are to these people. I'm out here – for the final time, to offer myself to you. That's right. The past two weeks I've presented myself to you, offered you the chance to turn you into the ruthless, wrecking machine that you once were. No more monotonous, back and forth games. I'm laying it all out. Abyss, you can either shake my hand – or you can black-hole slam me into oblivion.
What's it gonna be?!
Abyss turns to Albright, signalling that he doesn't know what to do. He then suddenly turns to face Mitchell and looks at his hand. Suddenly – he does the unthinkable – he turns to Brent Albright and nails him with a clothesline! Mitchell is wearing a sadistic grin as Abyss lifts Albright up in a torture wrack position and nails him with the shock treatment!! Mitchell raises Abyss' hand.
Returning from a commercial break and Gen-Ex are already on there way down the ramp and into the ring. Elijah, Jack, Austin and Roderick all stand at north, south, east and west positions, Aries with a microphone in hand.
Aries –
New York City – shut your ugly faces because Gen-Ex have something to say! This goes for Paul Heyman, and Team 3D. Now I know that since you New Yorkers all have memories like goldfish, you have probably forgotten the events of two weeks ago on Hazard. Well nevertheless, Austin Aries hasn't, Roderick Strong hasn't, Elijah Burke and Jack Evans haven't forgotten either. But apparently Team 3D have. Whether or not it's Alzheimer's kicking in, I don't know. All I know is that myself and Roderick defeated the two of you for the 1-2-3 in the first ever match in WAPW history. A match that will surely be looked back upon and people will say, "hey, it's that time when Gen Ex got their major break at the expense of two washed-up, has-beens". It was in front of the entire world! I don't know who they're trying to fool, claiming that they were cheated, but then they go whining and crying to Paul Heyman asking for a rematch. The worst part of it is that Paul Heyman has given them that rematch and apparently - it's here tonight.
The fans pop at the prospect of tonight's big tag-team match.
Aries –
But here's my question – why the hell should we even consider giving you another shot in the ring with us? Whether you like to hear it or not, and as hard as this literally sounds – we have bigger fish to fry than the two of you. Our agendas are infinite. You're agendas expired two weeks ago when we proved to the world who the number one tag-team was You're the past – we're the present and future – it's really that damn simple. So 3D, your match tonight, I guess you're on. I guess we'll give you two old-timers one last dance, and one last opportunity in the ring with athletes the calibre of Roderick Strong and Austin Aries. BUT, when we beat you again in front of your home crowd, know this - the two of you will be sitting at the bottom of the food chain, looking up at two hungry lions, the next W-A-P-W tag-team champions.
Aries makes a move to the ropes, when Team 3D's music hits. They emerge to a great reaction and get on the mic.
Ray –
"Who are we to want a rematch?" "Who are we?" Boys, maybe it's the lack of knowledge of the business, or maybe your asses are just plain stupid, but whether YOU like to hear it or not – Team 3D are the most decorated tag-team in the history of this business. It's not just a tagline that we came up with, it's not a catchphrase that Devon concocted. Twenty tag-team titles make us the best team in the world, and you have the nerve to deny us a rematch? I've got news for you punks, without Elijah Burke and that other guy; you don't got shit on us. So later on tonight how about we even the odds and make it - two on two?
Roderick Strong –
Don't you two get it? We're living in the here and now – and the here and now tells
that we're better than you! Later on tonight, we're going to prove it once and for all.
Ray –
I guess you're right. Here in WAPW, those twenty tag-team title reigns don't mean squat. I guess that the only way for us to shut you punks up is to make it TWENTY-ONE title reigns. I don't know when we're gonna get a shot, and I don't know where, but mark my words – Team 3D will add another one to the list!
Ray turns to his hometown fans.
Ray –
NEW YORK CITY?! Tonight - Team 3D take out the trash!
We go to an early commercial break to allow more time for the next match – Paul London versus 'that other guy'…
Jack Evans is of course already in the ring. Paul London's music then hits to a good face reaction, Joey Styles reminding us how he defeated five men in the Cruiserweight Title Gauntlet two weeks ago but fell short to Teddy Hart. Speaking of Hart, he emerges from the tunnel and plants a steel chair on the ramp, sitting down and observing the following match.
Match Two
Paul London vs. Jack Evans
It's fair to say that Jack Evans hasn't exactly made a great impression here in WAPW. After losing in the gauntlet and complaining constantly – this was his big chance to stake a claim in the Cruiserweight division. The commercial break for the last segment came five minutes earlier than usual, just to give this match more time. Needless to say it was worth it for these two individuals. A back and forth encounter full of excellent high-flying action, especially from Jack Evans, was eventually won by Paul London. If Evans hasn't made an impression before, then he sure as hell had now. Both men were tiring towards the end. Jack Evans went to the top rope for a cross body block, he leapt, but London managed to hit Evans with a dropkick to the face! This allowed him to go up and then DOWN with a shooting star press!
Winner @ 14.29 mins – Paul London
Paul London swiftly escaped the ring and the swarm of Aries, Strong and Burke and made a move up the ramp towards Hart. As he got closer it provoked the champion to lift up the steel chair. London wasn't looking for a fight, as he signalled that he wanted the gold around his waist before walking on.
Joey Styles narrates clips from last week's tag-team main-event. He then informs us that Torrie Wilson is standing by with Christian Cage.
The camera switches to the back where the two of them are standing.
Wilson –
Wrestling fans I'm Torrie Wilson and I'm joined at this time by none other than The Instant Classic – Christian Cage. Christian, last week on Hazard you and Goldberg teamed up against the duo if Mr. Kennedy and MVP. But as we all know, the match ended in a no contest. What are your thoughts on that night?
Cage –
Torrie usually in situation like this Christian Cage would come out here, crack a joke or two, and spout off at the mouth at MVP and Kennedy's expense but you know what, that would just be too easy. See last week they made the not-so-wise decision to have Gen-Ex get involved in the match, and as a result it ended in a no-contest. But tonight I have a chance to right those wrongs, I have a chance to teach MVP a lesson in that ring – and the best part is that playing field is going to be even! Gen Ex aren't gonna be able to do a damn thing because as we heard earlier tonight, it's a lumberjack match! I'll have friends at ringside, and you can be sure I'll have foes at ringside, but come the end of the night they'll all be looking up and watching me, The Instant Classic, as the winner. And after that, after tonight I'm looking to Battle Lines in just under two weeks time when Christian Cage fulfils his destiny in WAPW and becomes World Champion. MVP – if you didn't know before, come the end of the night – you're gonna know, and there's nothing Gen-Ex can do to stop it.
Backstage Scott Hudson is shown standing by in the parking-lot. Joey Styles narrates, stating that Scott is on look-out for the possible arrival of Bret Hart.
We are back live on Hazard, as the camera then turns to Gen-Ex in their locker room. Aries, Strong, Evans and Burke all sit around on a leather sofa, Strong and Aries tying up their boots for the upcoming match. There's a knock at the door, and Roderick shouts 'come in'. Evans humorously picks up a baseball bat and puts it on the sofa. MVP enters, saying hey to everyone and wearing a 'ready to kiss ass' face.
Burke –
What can Gen-Ex do for you, man?
Well guys you know you're all MVP's V.I.P's, right? Well later on tonight I gotta huge match with Christian, a lumberjack match, and I'm just here to ask of you that you'll all be in my corner at ringside?
Burke –
For you, anything man. You got us all here, whatever you want whatever you need – Gen-Ex is here for you.
Ahh thanks guys, 'preciate it. So I'll so ya'll out there?
Burke –
Count on it.
MVP and Burke shake hands, then with Evans. He exits.
The camera then fixates on the ring again where Howard Finkel stands and introduces the next match. Team 3D's music soon hits and they make their way down into the ring to a great reception from their home crowd. Soon enough, Aries and Strong make their way down there – alone.
Match Three
Team 3D vs. Austin Aries & Roderick Strong
Possibly the two best tag-teams in WAPW were at it again – the veterans Team 3D were attempting to put the younger Austin Aries and Roderick Strong in their place. They knew that a win would get one over on them, but definitely not settle the score. The feud was shaping up to be one for the long haul. Unfortunately for Team 3D though, they fell to Gen-Ex and their questionable tactics. Just when it seemed that 3D would get the well-earned win, they managed to snatch it. With Devon on the top rope, and Bubba holding Aries' legs open, Roderick entered the ring and hit Bubba in the face. He gave Devon a vile low blow, leaving him in a precarious position. He was the superplexed onto Brother Ray by Strong!! That only got a 2 count, but following a 'WATSUP' from the youngsters, and then finally a half-nelson backbreaker Devon gave in and was pinned.
Winners @ 8.02 mins – Austin Aries and Roderick Strong
Gen-Ex swarmed to the ring immediately and congratulated their fellows. They swiftly exited as Ray got to his feet. They bare wide grins as they walked up the ramp towards the back, signalling that they are the number one tag-team in the world.
A brief advert for the award-winning film by Mickey Rourke 'The Wrestler' plays before heading to a commercial break.
Returning from commercials and there is an on-screen graphic depicting the tournament brackets for the North-American Title. It shows the first quarter final matches, and shows the following semi-final contest – Rey Mysterio vs. Sugar Daddy Lance.
Howard Finkel stands in the ring dressed in his usual suit and readies us for the next match, informing us that the winner of this match will fight for the North American Title at the Battle Lines PPV! Sugar Lance soon makes his entrance to a mixed reaction. He emerges with two beautiful women, one on each arm. It seems he's garnering P.I.M.P status here in WAPW. He stands in the ring looking confident and somewhat playing the heel card and awaits the entrance of his opponent. Rey doesn't disappoint, slapping hands with fans down the aisle before ultimately entering the ring. Rey offers his hand in respect, but Lance grins and backs into his corner and waits for the bell.
Match Four
Sugar Daddy Lance vs. Rey Mysterio
To get to this stage both men won their quarterfinal match-ups, with Lance pinning Abyss, whilst Rey defeated a distraught Alex Shelley. Lance certainly had his size going for him, towering above the 5 foot 6 Rey and standing at 6 foot 7 inches tall. Throughout his career though, Rey has defied odds, constantly being the underdog in terms of size and it wasn't unlike him to beat larger opponents. His speed would usually be key – but Lance had that in abundance. In many ways, Lance is the ultimate wrestler – tall, powerful and agile. However what Rey had on his side was heart – a whole lot of it! It seemed like he managed to pull the win out of the bag, drop toe holding Lance into the second rope, hitting a 619! However what Rey wasn't expecting was a bitter Alex Shelley to be nearby! Running down to ringside and when the referees back was turned, hitting Rey who was standing on the apron with a low-blow! Lance then put Rey in a suplex position over the ropes, and turned it into a running powerbomb! 1,2,3!
Winner @ 11.21 mins – Sugar Daddy Lance
Lance Hoyt's hand, or arm, was raised in the air in victory. He celebrated with his two girls, heading to the back with them. Shelley meanwhile stood at ringside and watched as Rey held his stomach in the ring, trying to fathom what the hell just happened. As Mysterio lent through the ropes and faced Shelley, he was nailed with a hard shot with that TNA X-Division Title belt! Shelley then fled to the back looking awfully pleased with himself, feeding off the boos from the crowd.
The camera then fixates on the winner from the match, Sugar Daddy Lance who with his two girls is celebrating with champagne – pouring it down their chests and drinking vast quantities from the bottle. He then yells "I'm going to Battle Lines baby!"
The next stop on the cameraman's journey is backstage where Shane Douglas is standing outside MVP's locker room, trying to get word on his upcoming match. Just he leans in to knock, the door opens with Jack Evans exiting.
Douglas –
Jack Evans you're live here on Wednesday Night Hazard, you've obviously been in the locker room with MVP – how is he feeling going into his big match with Christian Cage?
Evans –
I'm feeling great Shane, thanks for asking. I suppose you also want to know 'where Jack Evans is going now', right?
Douglas –
Uh, no I was actually wonder..
Evans –
Well Shane, ya boy' Jack Evans is gonn' tell you. See after losing to Paul London earlier this evening in a number one contenders match for the Cruiserweight Title, I figure there's only one way I can recover from an upset like that...
Douglas –
An UPSET?
Evans leers at Shane with a look of sheer disgust, before carrying on like nothing had happened.
Evans –
... And that way is to issue an open challenge to any Cruiserweight in the entire world. That's right Shane, at Battle Lines, Jack Evans - from the heavens - is going to stand before you and face whoever has the balls to show up. And Teddy Hart, Paul London, whoever the champion is after Battle Lines – after I dispose of MY opponent – I'm coming for your Cruiserweight belt.
Evans extends his arm seemingly offering a handshake. Before Shane can even process the thought, Evans retracts it thinking he's 'got one over' on Douglas. He walks off, with Shane wondering 'what the hell is up with that kid'.
With the main-event just mere minutes away, we returned from another bout of commercials to the sight of Brother Ray and Devon backstage in the medical room. Devon is holding an ice-pack on his shoulder. Scott Hudson enters and asks Ray what he has to say about losing earlier tonight. Ray takes the mic and looks into the camera with intent.
Ray –
Gen-Ex, it would appear that apologies are in order. It would appear that Team 3D haven't been giving you the credit which you rightfully deserve. We clearly overlooked you, so on that note – we're sorry. We're sorry - you're clearly bigger bitches than we thought you were. You somehow managed to bend the rules to your liking once again and you got one over on us. To be honest, I thought WE were pretty good at being little scamps who could cheat to win, but clearly you punks have us beat on that. Boys, it's no use me talking anymore. I could go on and on about how we deserve a match with you, but you wouldn't listen. So here's something you're gonna have to listen to. I've been speaking to Paul Heyman, and it would seem that there are two tag-teams needed to fight for those belts at Battle Lines. Well who better than Team 3D – and the team that have beaten us two times in a row – Austin Aries and Roderick Strong. Since you're so cocky and confident, I guess it's a no-brainer. What I also said to Paul was about a stipulation. Paul, being the hardcore enthusiast that he is, agreed that for you to get back in the ring with us it would have to be with higher stakes. So what higher stakes than the tag-team titles on the line in a TABLES MATCH! A match which the two of you have never competed in as a tag-team, a match of which the two of us almost never lose. Boys, soak it up. Enjoy the lime-light. Enjoy watching my brother Devon with an injured shoulder. Enjoy it now, because at Battle Lines – we're taking it away from you.
Shane Douglas is still standing outside of MVP's locker room waiting for comments on his impending match. The door opens. Burke, Aries, Strong then Evans exit. They divide, allowing MVP to walk in the centre. Shane asks for a quick word on the match, but MVP pie-faces the camera out of the way.
Scott Hudson is seen backstage waiting for any sign of Bret Hart arriving. Hudson looks at his watch as if to say "Time's up - I guess he's not coming". Hudson then exits the picture. The camera initially follows his exit, but upon hearing the screeching of tires - it returns to the previous scene where a limo pulls up. Could it be? We fade to a commercial break at a very inconvenient time...
Returning for the final half-hour of Hazard - it's main-event time! Howard Finkel stands dead-centre of the ring. He announces the following contest, and first introduces the lumberjacks : first, the heels come to the ring including Ted Hart, Kennedy, The French Connection – Sylvan and Rene, The United Kingdom – McGuiness and S.O.S, then finally Gen Ex. They surround half of the ring, before a stream of fan favourites begin to walk to the ring. They include – Mysterio, Mistico, Brent Albright, Street Inc – JTG and Shad, The Briscoes' and finally Goldberg.
It is then time for the competitors entrance. MVP first makes his way to the ring to a positively negative reception. He does his signature poses before awaiting the arrival of his opponent.
The count down clock appears on the big screen. 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 – "this – is Christian Cage". He makes his way to the ring to a great reception, grinning for all of his 'peeps'. When he enters the ring he is all set for business. A Christian chant
Match Five
MVP vs. Christian Cage – Lumberjack Match
Ordinarily in a match involving MVP the odds would be somewhat stacked against his opponent. Last week on Hazard all that stopped Goldberg and Christian Cage from getting a much-deserved win was the interference of Gen-Ex. This week however the ring would be surrounded by impartial lumberjacks, ensuring that the competitors had nowhere to run, and nowhere to hide. The odds were even in this huge match-up.
It wasn't long before the lumberjacks were called into action, as MVP was tossed out of the ring in amongst the heel crowd. Luckily Gen-Ex were close by and they helped Porter return to the ring safely.
As the bout progressed it swung in both competitors direction, each establishing decent chances to kill-off the match. MVP wasted a good chance to end it with what seemed to be a 'playmaker' from the top rope, however he took too long to execute the manoeuvre, instead taunting in the direction of the crowd. This allowed Christian to pull of an unbelievable move - with MVP's leg slung across the back of his neck he used the leverage to tip him up and over the ropes, landing on a group of heel lumberjacks! Gen-Ex began brawling with some of the fellow lumberjacks, which allowed MVP to retreat to the ring. However salvation was not what he got, as within a minute Christian had got the chance. With MVP reeling, he nailed him with a reverse DDT! 1-2-but Jack Evans of all people managed to pull the referee out of the ring. This ensured that a brawl would erupt between both sides of the lumberjacks. With no referee it was left for the crowd to do the counting. The crowd were interrupted however and definitely for the better - they couldn't believe their eyes -
ran down to the ring amidst all the chaos, wearing a referee's shirt! MVP was back on his feet, but walked straight into an unprettier! Bret counts - 1,2,3!!
Winner @ 16.31 mins – Christian Cage
Inside the ring Christian celebrates for the masses watching. Outside, the chaos is dying down as security step in to break it up. With the heels on one side of the apron, and the faces on another, Goldberg stands in the middle facing the ring staring at Christian with a controlled-hunger in his eyes. Kennedy also managed to escape, standing behind the other side of the ring watching on as Bret Hart raises the hand of Christian! It ends on that graphic.
Styles -
Could this be what we witness in just eleven days, at Battle Lines?!

Hi and welcome!
Here and especially I think over on the 2s forum (which is a pretty active one--for wavy haired girls) there are a lot of fine haired ladies who use a Curly Girl or modified Curly Girl method to care for their hair.
If your hair is both fine and damaged, I think you can definitely get some benefit from this site as far as methods of getting moisture and protein into your hair--you should definitely try a protein treatment, like this one:
Board wisdom says always follow a protein treatment with a deep moisture treatment unless you really feel like you don't need it, of course, which may be why you've had trouble in the past.
Deva products aren't too popular around here, not because they're hated exactly, but because for the price a lot of people seem to have found that there are other products they like better ... I personally tried their low-poo and it was THE. WORST. for my hair, but then again that was the final confirmation for me that protein and my hair don't mix!
Jessicurl on the other hand seems to be really popular, though I have no personal experience to add to that.
Basically I think if you want to see how much wave you can get out of your hair, you should go for it! If you want to wear it straight, having healthy, well-moisturized hair is still a good goal, and to me it sounds a lot like you would do well trying out some of the methods people on this site use.
Hang out, read up, see what you think.
2a/b (really thick but sort of fine with pretty weak waves), medium-to-fine texture, normal porosity (I think). Doesn't seem to like protein.
Favorite products: Kinky-Curly Knot Today, Kinky-Curly Curling Custard, Curl Junkie Curls in a Bottle, Curl Junkie Curl Rehab, Curl Junkie Curl Assurance Smoothing Lotion, Shea Moisture Curl and Style Milk, homemade flaxseed gel.
Still looking for a cleanser I like.

neville-Crook County Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Diane Bohle has been terminated from her position.
Her last day at the chamber was Friday, Dec. 28, according to the 2008 Chamber President Jay Porter.
"In this particular case, she was terminated," Porter said.
Despite calls made to her home and cell telephone numbers, Bohle could not be reached the afternoon of Monday, Dec. 31, for comments.
A press release had been e-mailed on Friday, Dec. 28, to City Manager Robb Corbett, Prineville Mayor Mike Wendel, Crook County Judge Scott Cooper, the Central Oregonian, local TV stations, the Bulletin, Gene Schmidt, Vice-President Bryan Iverson, and board of directors members Bryan Iverson, Cheryl Taylor, Porter, John Allen, Karen Sams, Kathy Gaillard, Linda Cross and Susan McDermott.
"The Board of Directors for the Prineville-Crook County Chamber of Commerce has decided to take the chamber in a new direction," according to the press release. "The Board of Directors thanks Diane Bohle for her contributions to the chamber during her tenure as executive director and we certainly wish her well in her future endeavors. The chamber hopes new leadership will help the chamber grow commensurate with the growth of Prineville and Crook County. The chamber is committed to economic vitality of members and the board will work diligently to find an executive director who shares our passion about the new direction."
The end of the press release provides information about the chamber itself, its mission, its duties and how many members it has.
"Effectively, as the press release said, that we are looking for a new direction, a new way to go," Porter said as to why she was terminated. "There was nothing specifically that she did or did not do. It was simply a decision the board made in terms of facilitating future goals."
"The formal decision and the vote of the board would have been the 21st, the prior Friday," Porter said.
He declined to state how much Bohle made per year.
"It's confidential and I can't give (that) information," he said.
Now that she has been let go, the search will begin for her replacement.
"Pretty soon," he said. "You know, it hasn't been quite discussed. It will be at our normal board meeting Thursday...as to what our next steps are. But I would have to say we would have to start that immediately."
Porter said that between interviews, looking at resumes and other work, "I would say it's going to be a two-three month process for a position like this."
"You know, making announcements in various places and all of that. None of that has started yet," Porter said.
"Given the nature of the job, there's a lot of community involvement, talking to different businesses and groups. We have the operations of the tourist information center," the 2008 president said. "So I think the person that we will be looking for has a marketing background."
He said specific characteristics of a new chamber director will need to be "hammered out" by the board, "but I think the person will need to have a marketing background, just because of the nature of the job."

Egypt protesters, police clash on Mubarak anniversary
By Marwa Awad and Ali Abdelaty
CAIRO (Reuters) - Protesters demanding the departure of Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi clashed with police outside his palace on Monday on the second anniversary of the overthrow of veteran autocrat Hosni Mubarak.
Dozens of youths threw rocks at the Ettihadiya palace after a peaceful march by thousands of demonstrators who accused Mursi's conservative Muslim Brotherhood of hijacking Egypt's democratic revolution and seeking to monopolize power.
Police responded by firing water cannon and teargas from the walls of the presidential compound, which have been raised in some places and shielded by barbed wire after petrol bombs set fire to a building in the grounds last week.
The clashes, which appeared smaller and less violent than previous bouts of anti-Mursi unrest, were broadcast live on some television channels.
"We may be few in numbers but we will not back down from fighting criminals dressed up in police uniform," said Ahmed Farghaly, a protester outside the presidential palace.
Riot police later emerged to chase the protesters away from the palace and into side-streets.
The presidency's spokesman Yasser Ali called on all parties to condemn the clashes.
"Violence will burn the fingers of those who call for it and use it ... The presidency supports the continuation of peaceful protests and freedom of expression but any attempt to veer off peaceful protesting will be dealt with firmly," Ali said on state television late on Monday. Continued...

Definition of sodden
soddennessplay \ˈsä-dən-(n)əs\ noun

Examples of sodden in a Sentence

Did You Know?
Nowadays, seethed is the past tense and past participle form of the verb seethe (which originally meant "to boil or stew"). Originally, however, seethe could also be conjugated in the past tense as sod and in the past participle as sodden. By the 14th century, sodden had become an independent adjective synonymous with "boiled." And, by the 16th century, it had taken on the figurative sense used to describe someone who appears dull, expressionless, or stupid, particularly as a result of heavy drink. Today, sodden is commonly used as a synonym of soaked or saturated. Seethe followed a different figurative path: while one who is sodden may appear dull, torpid, or sluggish, one who is seething is highly agitated, like a pot of boiling water.
Origin and Etymology of sodden

MICHAEL C. FORD'S 'Look Each Other In The Ears' Album Out Today
Grammy Award and Pulitzer Prize-nominated American poet and audio journalist MICHAEL C. FORD will release his new album, LOOK EACH OTHER IN THE EARS, today, June 10. The project--a stirring, jazzy post-modern look at the universe around us--features musical accompaniment from some of FORD's Los Angeles friends including ROBBY KRIEGER, JOHN DENSMORE and the late RAY MANZAREK of THE DOORS, as well as singers Angelo Moore (Fishbone),Tommy Jordan (Geggy Tah) and produced by Harlan Steinberger at Hen House Studios in Venice, CA. A video for the track "For Openers" is being shot now bydirector Peter Glantz (Wilco).
Also in the works for Michael C. Ford are a number of intimate appearances by the eclectic writer/artist including a Saturday, June 28 reading at Gatsby's in Long Beach, CA. He also has three upcoming appearances in New Mexico: June 7 and 15 in Albuquerque and June 22 in Santa Fe. See all events here:http://www.michaelcford.com/appearances/. In a recent interview withClassicrockrevisited.com, Ford talks about his whole history including experiences with The Doors, life as a writer and the challenges the modern world presents us with. Check it out here: http://www.classicrockrevisited.com/show_interview.php?id=1046
FORD first met Manzarek and THE DOORS' singer JIM MORRISON at UCLA in 1964, and, as FORD relates, "Being immediately aware of having mutual admiration for the same cultural heroes, we became comrades & confidants." He had already befriended Densmore a few years prior--they were West L.A. neighbors--as well as Krieger later when he and Densmore formed The Psychedelic Rangers. Also in 1964, FORD and Manzarek formed a local funk group called White Trash Quintet and played Beat spots around town before FORDhit the road for an Idaho poetry residency. "Upon returning to Los Angeles I looked up at a billboard on the Sunset Strip which stated THE DOORS BREAK ON THROUGH WITH AN ELECTRIFYING NEW ALBUM with familiar faces emblazoned on the sign and I remember thinking: 'wait a minute, I know those guys.'" They remained friends and collaborators. "In June of 1969, when the Doors were in full tilt" says FORD, "Jim invited me to perform with him and Robby for my first time ever on stage at the Cinematheque Theater. It was a benefit for Norman Mailer that included our UCLA poetry teacher Jack Hirschman, Michael McClure and an elite cadre of Andy Warhol film people all wrangled by Jim."
LOOK EACH OTHER IN THE EARS is the newest chapter in a diverse career that includes 20 various poetry projects, a play and six CD releases. FORD's debut audio release, 1986's Language Commando, garnered him a Grammy nomination in the Spoken Word category and his 1998 book of selected poemsEmergency Exitswas nominated for a Pulitzer Prize.

One victim was shot in the leg, the other in the face and police are still looking for a New York City man inconnection with the shooting in the Tompkins County Town of Newfield Tuesday.
35-year old Donnell Harrison is the person police are now seeking as the lone suspect in the crime.
Harrison, also known as "DB," acted oddly in the weeks leading up to the incident, the victim said, and he may have trumped up an excuse in order to try to rob him and his friend at around 12:50 p.m. in a trailer home on Depot Way.
Donnell Harrison
Tompkins County sheriff's deputies, Ithaca police and state police are involved in the search for Harrison, who's considered armed and dangerous.
According to the Ithaca Journal. Harrison pleaded guilty to first-degree burglary in 2000 in the Bronx. Harrison was paroled for the first time in April 2005, but he violated his parole three times and was in and out of prison until March 2011, when he completed his sentence.

January 2011
WIN a hamper of our goodies! To celebrate and promote our recently launched website, we have decided to play a game, and give big hampers of our goodies to 3 lucky winners in a draw.
Every customer who buys anything worth €5 or more from us at our Market Stall will receive an Entry Ticket, to enter and play the game. But there is a catch! On the Entry Ticket there are 2 questions to be answered - all the answers can be found somewhere on our website! We hope we havn't made it too difficult - but it's designed to exercise the brain a bit! Don't look in the 'Grapes' section for a question about apples!!
For each €5 spent at our Stall, we will give you 1 Entry Ticket, and you can submit as many entries as you like. All Entry Tickets returned to us will be put in a box, and we plan to pick the winners at the end of January - the first 3 Tickets with the correct answers will win the hampers.
First prize will be a hamper worth €200, second prize will be worth €100, and third prize will be worth €75. The winners will be contacted by us, and will be offered the choice to 'Build Your Own Hamper', using their own selection of any of our delicious range of products listed here, to the value of their prize. (One prize only per individual entrant, i.e. if you have entered 10 tickets and in the unlikely event that we happen to draw 2 of your tickets, we will give you the higher prize and draw a further ticket for the next prize).
Start of a new year: Well here we go again, ringing out the old and ringing in the new! We're looking forward to the new year, although I expect it will bring its challenges, not least the general difficult economic situation in the country. Yet, we have a few new things planned for the new season. The new 3 acre field, which we now have beside us, somehow gives me a more optimistic feeling - I will have the possibility for new projects now, which otherwise would not be possible. The field is presently sown with a new crop of winter barley. Like a painter with a blank canvas before him, I need to take the time to consider what I am going to put on it, rather than just impatiently rush in and splash my colours around!
Winter Pruning: This is the time I like to tackle the pruning of the vines and the fruit trees. I find it to be relaxing and invigourating work during the Christmas break when things are pretty quiet. As the weather suits, you can do an hour here, a few hours there, and your work time is limited in any case by the short precious daylight hours of winter. The pears and most of the vines are done now, and the apples have been started. I'm hopeful this year of getting the whole job completed and prunings tidied on time this year, for a change. It's nice to have all winter jobs completed, and the orchard tidy and ready for the budburst and blossom of the new season.

Theo & Co Pizzeria – 1 Dec 2016
Theo Kalogeracos, the master pizza chef, has a new pizza store in East Vic Park, just opposite The Heart of The Park Shopping Center. The space is casual, the service friendly, and the pizzas are anything but ordinary. Dine in or takeaway, BYO, wait to be seated and then be confused as to what pizza to choose from the extensive menu. I was really keen on trying the skillet pizzas and opted for the pepperoni version. This deep dish beautie was amazing! Not at all soggy, soft fluffy base packed with Mozzarella cheese and delicious pepperoni. Yum yum yum! I also opted for one of their best sellers (which there are many) – Pork Belly on a pizza? Crazy, no genius! Marinated with deliciousness, fennel, garlic, and the creamy dijonaise is a masterstroke. Full of flavour and so enjoyable. Some bits have a slight crunch from the crackling. They have boxes where the cutlery and serviettes are to take the leftovers away which means room for dessert. I've eaten several dessert pizzas from different restaurants which have generally been poor. Here, there's several to choose from and the Built From Bones looked appealing. A deconstructed cannoli – ricotta base with chocolatey drops and broken cannoli shells for crunch, it's unusual, different but an excellent dessert pizza nonetheless. Really full but very satisfied. The pizzas here are a very different style but are inventive, creative, and the flavour combinations are on the money.

The Center for Development With Solar Energy
CEDESOL (the Center for Development with Solar Energy) was incorporated as a not-for-profit foundation in 2003 in Cochabamba, Bolivia. Prior to its incorporation, the founders gained expertise in solar and biomass technology by designing, building and promoting ecological cooking systems. The foundation was established because the founders believe passionately in the transference of practical knowledge and technology from the experts to the people.
CEDESOL is committed to empowering the disempowered.
Its mission is to transform lives and protect the environment by equipping people with appropriate technology and education.
All of CEDESOL activities are based on three key foundations:participatory education, renewable energy and social and economic justice.
Read more on CEDESOL's mission
The World Health Organization estimates that indoor air pollution caused by open pit cooking fires ranks fourth as a health risk factor in developing countries.
CEDESOL provides an alternative to cooking sources that pollute, degrade the natural environment and cause damage to health. Through the use of solar cookers, the problems associated with open pit fires are eliminated; no fuel is required and no pollution is produced.
Read more on the benefits of ecological cookers to the population
Solar Cookers are wooden boxes (shown above )with one or more reflective covers and an inclined double glazed window on hinges. Easy to build, they can still reach temperatures between 120°c and 160°c, which is sufficient for cooking nearly all foods consumed in Bolivia.
The rocket stove is a popular alternative as it requires no sun function.
Read more on the workings of ecological cookers
CEDESOL has worked in cooperation with many organizations to improve the design and efficiency of the ecological cookers and develop participatory training and education.
An important part of the stove implementation process is training people how to construct and maintain ecological systems. Becoming owners of the technology empowers people and reduced social and economic barriers, improving quality of life and creating a brighter future.

Our blog is updated based on progress. We are looking forward to posting updates as we embark on our 2016 Project in 18 different schools in the municipality of Toro Toro.
This project will bring educational projects, rocket and industrial ecological cookers, and DVD lessons to the schools of Toro Toro. See our last blog for more updates.
By supporting us, you too can act to improve both the quart of life for the Bolivian people and to combat climate change.
There are many different ways you can help: making a donation, subsiding us if you are a grant maker, volunteering, or growing our community by subscribing to newsletters and talking about CEDESOL.

On Saturday, February 12th, 9 CEDESOL staff members traveled to the community of Hausa Rancho to deliver 30 solar cookers to the participants of a current Project sponsored by the Kyoto Twist Solar Cooking Society. Hausa Rancho is located 90 minutes outside the city of Cochabamba, and as it receives an ample amount of sunlight daily it is a prime location to utilize the solar cookers to their full capacity. The Kyoto Twist Solar Cooking Society subsidized the cost of the solar cookers for this project, an enormous benefit for the low-income recipients. Read more...

The Jefferson County school board will hear public comment next month before it approves nearly $40 million in proposed cuts to the dramatically reduced 2011-12 budget.
The public hearings, to be held April 5 and May 5, will be supplemented with a string of community forums, at which board members will meet with their constituents to gather questions and comments. Five forums will be held on April 16 and April 30.
A final version of the budget is scheduled to be approved at the May 5 board meeting.
The Indian Gulch fire encompassed 1,502 acres burned north of U.S. 6 and south of Golden Gate Canyon Road as of Friday, March 25, about the same level as reported Thursday, according to a media advisory from the Jeffco Sheriff's Office.
U.S. 6 to Black Hawk and Central City will be open at 2 p.m. Friday, according to the Sheriff's Office as of 10:45 a.m.
Scott Robson of Evergreen, manager of Denver Parks and Recreation, the unanimous choice of the board of directors, has accepted the job of executive director of the Evergreen Park and Recreation District starting April 11.
The announcement came Tuesday, March 22, at the regular meeting of the EPRD board.
As expected, the leading candidate for the post of executive director of the park district was offered the job after facing the public and board of directors in an interview session March 15.
As of Tuesday, March 22, the park district board had made a proposal to Evergreen resident Scott Robson. Negotiations were in progress.
Robson is the only applicant to progress beyond the in-person interview process that took place in early March.
Sometimes people have trouble distinguishing the Evergreen Artists Association from the other prominent arts organizations in town, so the group decided changing its logo was a good place to start.
"I think the same logo has been used for 54 years," said Paul Koentges, president of EAA. "We thought it was time because a lot of people confuse us with CAE (Center for the Arts Evergreen). We have never been a part of Center for the Arts."
On weekends, the off-leash dog park at Elk Meadow attracts plenty of visitors from Denver and South Jeffco as well as Evergreen, as people take advantage of the trails and the chance to run their dogs without restraint.
Jeffco Open Space is planning a major makeover for the popular 107-acre park on Stagecoach Boulevard. The parking lot was full at 2 p.m. on a recent Wednesday, and cars were parked on the shoulder.
A fire ban affecting all lands in unincorporated Jefferson County took effect at 5 p.m. Monday due to the three wildfires that were burning near Golden, Soda Creek and Pine Junction.
The Indian Gulch fire broke out Sunday. The Soda Creek and Pine Junction fires were extinguished Monday. The fire ban remains in effect until rescinded.
On Tuesday, Jeffco officials issued a disaster/emergency declaration due to the need for outside resources and the high fire danger.
A wildfire near Mount Galbraith west of Golden grew to 1,200 acres on Tuesday from 850 acres overnight as firefighters struggled to contain the blaze to the area south of Golden Gate Canyon Road. The fire was first reported about 10:15 a.m. Sunday.
The wildfire that broke out near South Soda Creek Road and scorched about 6 acres on Monday afternoon, forcing hundeds to flee, came within a quarter-mile of six houses and a horse barn before a wind shift allowed firefighters to contain the blaze.
"It could have spread to the north and west. If it hadn't been for the wind shift, it would have taken much longer to contain and control the fire," said Evergreen Fire Chief Garry DeJong.
