text: Raw Results - 7/21/08 - Uncasville, CT (Great American Bash fallout)Reported by Hunter Golden of WrestleView.com On Monday, July 21, 2008 at 11:28 PM EST WWE RAWJuly 21, 2008Uncasville, CTCommentators: Michael Cole & Jerry "The King" LawlerReported By: Hunter Golden of WrestleView.comRaw opened with a video package putting over Kane's injecting himself into last night's World Heavyweight Championship match between CM Punk and Batista at the Great American Bash last night. Batista is in the production truck and pissed. He walks off and the opening credits roll.Batista's music hit the arena and he came out to the ring. He said he planned to come out as the new World Champion, but since Kane decided to interfere in his match, that wasn't the case. He said tonight, since Shane McMahon wasn't here and Stephanie McMahon wasn't here, he would be putting himself in charge of Raw. He was only going to be making one match. He said it'd be CM Punk defending his championship against him. He said if Kane had a personal problem, he'd better find him before he finds him or he'd have hell to pay. JBL butted in not so happy over the Titan Tron. He said Batista wasn't in charge of anything. He said he had his title match and he didn't win. He said there wasn't anything that made Batista special. JBL on the other hand said, he had won his match and the next world title match would be his. Batista laughed at him. Batista said if there was such a difference in opinion, JBL could come out to the ring and discuss it. JBL said he was the boss. He didn't answer to Batista. Batista answers to JBL. JBL said he'd be taking his torch back at Summerslam. He said he doesn't feel like a title match tonight though, he was finishing off Cena tonight. He said if Batista wants a match so bad, he could just go find Kane.World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk's music hit the arena and he came out to the ring shaking his head. Punk said JBL was right, it was the law of the jungle. He said since he was Champion, that made him king in his estimation. He said JBL could screw off while he took care of some business. Punk said Kane didn't just mess it up for Batista, he messed it up for him, too. He was pretty darn close to beating Batista and he wanted to show everyone he could. So he and Batista agreed to the match.****Commercial****HBK's music hit until Lance Cade's new (and quite crappy) music hit.Cade got on the mic and said that HBK used to be his mentor. He said last night he knew he took the beating of his life. He knew he was here tonight and he knew he was listening, so he invited him to come out to the ring before, during or after his match, but if he does come out, the two would have words they should have had a long time ago. Lance Cade v. Paul LondonThe two circled it up and London went for a big splash right off the bat and missed by a mile. Cade hit a back breaker before smashing some knees into the small of London's back. Cade kept up the back work, goading Shawn Michaels the whole time. Back work = symbolic. Cade kept up the pressure with an Irish whip into a charge attempt but London countered out with a leg kick. Cade cut London off with a clothesline and then chucked London into the ring post. Cade gathered London in his arms and power bombed him to the mat for the win.Winner: Lance Cade via pin fallCade got on the mic and said if that wasn't enough to bring him out to the ring, maybe this would be. Cade masturbatorily introduced Chris Jericho, the man of the hour. Jericho waltzed down to the ring as we went to commercial.****Commercial****Jericho said as much as we all wanted Shawn Michaels to be here tonight, he wouldn't be. In fact, he might never be in the ring again. He said he'd show us some violent, graphic footage of their match last night at the Bash. After the video was done, Jericho said what happened last night was everyone's fault. He said Michaels came out last night and wrestled hurt to please these stupid fans and because they inspired him to do things normal people couldn't do, but now he was paying for his sins. He said the fans don't deserve to be saved like he originally decided. He said they made their decision to side with Michaels and proved they weren't worthy of it. He said in all probability his career was over. He had a detached retina that would prohibit him from seeing properly for the rest of his life. Jericho said he had no remorse. He said the ironic thing was that by closing Shawn's eyes, it opened his. He said he didn't have to accept people that vilified, cut him down, boo'd him, ignored him, all the garbage. Jericho said he wasn't the crazy guy with long hair that told jokes. He said he's grown up unlike Shawn Michaels and the stupid fans. Jericho said he was proud of what he did. He said he was proud of what happened last night. He said by ending the career of HBK, he considers himself…saved.****Commercial****A replay of Beth Phoenix defeating Santino Marella last week aired. Kelly Kelly v. Beth PhoenixKelly tried to use her speed to her advantage against Beth in the early going but Beth quickly caught her and bull charged her into the corner and smashed into Kelly's mid section. She gathered her opponent and scoop slammed her to the mat before picking her up by the hair and slamming her to her back.Beth wrapped Kelly up in an arm bar as the crowd tried to rally Beth. Kelly flipped out of the hold before whipping Phoenix only to get plowed with a right hand. Kelly kept it coming though and caught an inzeguri and a head scissors followed by a drop kick to the corner. Kelly came vaulting in with a hand spring move but got caught in mid air by Beth and put in the double arm chicken wing. Kelly shockingly rolled through though and almost rolled her up, but Beth kept the momentum going and hit the front face buster and completely cold cocked Kelly for the win. Awesome little match.Winner: Beth Phoenix via pin fall****Commercial****Jim Duggan is in the ring. Duggan said he was thinking about hanging up the boots for good. He said it had been a great thirty year run. He won the first Royal Rumble, made tons of friends and survived Kidney cancer. He said he thought about what Ted and Cody said last week and said they may be right. He said this was a game for young men and maybe it was time for time to pass Duggan by. He said he wanted to thank the fans before Jerry Lawler interrupted him. Jerry said he knew it was none of his business but in case Duggan missed it, there wasn't an age limit in the WWE. So long as he was passionate about doing what he wanted to do, he can and should do it as long as he wants to. Lawler said Duggan could do something Obama and McCain couldn't ever get and that was to make thousands of fans to chant USA at the drop of a dime.Duggan honestly didn't want to give it up and enjoyed the chanting and said he just really needed someone to tell him that. Before that, Dibiase and Rhode's music hit and they made their way down to the ring.Dibiase said he needed to get this straight, Jerry Lawler was giving Duggan career advice? Just because he dated girls their age, didn't mean he related to them. He said they both needed to hang em up. Rhodes said when Duggan won the first Royal Rumble, he was two years old. When Lawler slapped Andy Kauffman, he and Ted weren't even alive then. Lawler knew he missed it, so he showed Rhodes that it went something like this…. And slapped Rhodes clean across the face. The four argued. Rhodes and Holly said they'd take care of this later, but until then, the two old men needed to clear out of the ring for the folks who actually had a future. JBL's music hit and he gimped down to the ring.****Commercial****John Cena & Cryme Tyme v. JBL, Ted Dibiase & Cody RhodesRhodes and Cena started it off. Cena tossed Rhodes into the ropes and the two exchanged leap frogs before Cena hit a hip toss. Cena socked Rhodes in the face a couple of times before Cena hit the whip-bulldog combination for a two count.Cena hit a back drop before tagging in Shaad who dropped an elbow for a two count. Shaad hit the irish whip and the follow up clothesline. Shaad looked for the same combo again, only to eat a boot in the grill. Dibiase tagged in and worked over the mid section of Dibiase a bit before Shaad caught him in a suplex and flipped him up and over his head for a two count.JTG tagged in and they hit a leap frog double team splash in the corner for a two count. Dibiase hit a huge right hand to the face before hanging JTG up on the top rope. JBL tagged in and began beating the crap out of JTG in the corner with rights and boots. JBL hit a huge shoulder tackle before tagging in Rhodes who began punching away at JTG's mid section.Rhodes slapped on a bear hug. The fun didn't last long though as the crowd rallied JTG and he was able to break the hold. Dibiase and Rhodes caught him before he could get anywhere though to maintain control. Dibiase hit a body slam before going for a second rope double stomp which he connected with for a two count. JBL tagged back in and the big Texan began hitting knees and big boots in the corner before taking the smaller JTG to the middle of the ring and clubbed away at the small of his back. Rhodes came sailing in with a stomp to the gut and slapped on the good old bear hug to keep JTG on the mat. JTG shot out of the hold with a quick flash pin attempt, but Rhodes kicked out and kicked him square in the ribs. Dibiase stomped away on JTG on the apron before going for a quick pin attempt. Dibiase kept up the pressure with kicks to the back and stomps to the face. Dibiase slapped on a leg scissors on the mat as the crowd tried to rally JTG yet again. JTG fought to his feet an elbowed out of the hold and hit a standing drop kick. JTG almost made it to the hot tag but Rhodes dropped an elbow on his back to end the rally. Rhodes landed some punches in the face but totally whiffed on the shoulder tackle attempt in the corner and clattered into the ring post. Cena caught the hot tag and began cleaning house. Cena hit his shoulder tackles and inverted power bomb before calling for the five knuckle shuffle. Cena and JBL began brawling and once JBL had the chance, he got out of dodge. Cena gathered Rhodes AND Dibiase and delivered a double FU for the win. Winners: John Cena & Cryme Tyme via pin fallChris Jericho and Lance Cade are in the back heading out a door when they run into Kane. There's a big stare down and we're all awkward. Kane's walking down the hall, bag in hand.****Commercial****Intergender Tag Team MatchMickie James & Kofi Kingston v. Katie Lea & Paul BurchillKatie and Mickie started us off and after some brawling and a little stooging from Katie, Mickie woke everyone up with a punch to Paul's face. He followed her into the ring only to eat a Kofi Kingston leap frog body press. Kofi hit a back heel kick and a dropkick for a one count before Katie showed up and tried to deck him with a kick to the mid section. Paul took advantage and hit a chop block and began to work over the IC Champion's legs. Kofi turned the tables briefly with a roll up attempt but Burchill hit a kick to the face. Kofi fought back with a clothesline and dodged a Burchill charge in the corner. Mickie and Katie brawled on the outside before Paul came out and slammed Mickie off to the side. Kofi slammed Burchill into the ring post and it's a debacle. Burchill dodged a Kofi charge and the champion clattered into the ring post. Burchill tossed him into the ring and hit a tall hangman's neck breaker for the win.Winner: Paul & Katie Lea Burchill via pin fallJamie Noble's still putting the moves on Leyla in the back. Batista interjects and wants to know where Kane is. Noble says he's going to take Leyla upstairs and shoot some craps, but if he sees anything, he'll let Batista know. Until then, Batista could go do some dumbbell flies or something. Batista isn't laughing and slams Noble into the crates and says if he sees anything, he'd better be the first to know. ****Commercial****Todd Grisham asked CM Punk if he was lucky. Punk said he was a little embarrassed he couldn't win outright last night. JBL said he fully intended on becoming World Champion come Summerslam and whether Punk lost the belt tonight or at Summerslam, it didn't matter, he would go down as an asterisk or as a transitional champion. Punk seems to remember his first title defense was against him.****Commercial****Santino Marella is in the ring and said this week he was going to re-issue his same challenge. This time he wanted a male opponent. Oh lord, it's D-Lo.Santino Marella v. D-Lo BrownAs D-Lo is dancing around the ring, Beth Phoenix makes her way down to the ring. Santino's terrified. Brown tossed him into the corner before killing him with a right hand in the face.Brown kept up the pressure, whipping Santino to the buckles but missing the follow through. Brown countered a whip attempt from Marella and slammed him to the mat before dropping a big leg. Brown hit sudden impact before scaling the ropes and hitting the Lo-Down for the three count and the win.Winner: D-Lo Brown via pin fallAfter the match, Santino and Beth wrestled around a bit before having an awkward moment. Good lord, couple of the year. They kissed. Super awkward. ****Commercial****Prior to the match, Kane came down and he and Batista battled. Batista ate a choke slam only for CM Punk to swoop down to the ring to his aid. Batista' shaken and stirred, but still game for the match. Kane's chasing that poor camera man from last night.****Commercial****World Heavyweight ChampionshipCM Punk v. BatistaBatista looks like ka ka. The two circled it up and Punk grabbed a go-behind and a side headlock. Batista went to toss him into the ropes but Punk clung to his bean, refusing to let go. Eventually Batista pried him off and hit him to the canvas with a shoulder block.Punk kept up pressure with strikes but upon charging in a third time, he ate a huge boot to the face and almost got pinned. Batista punished the champion in the corner before looking for a back drop, but Punk caught him and hit a neck breaker that did a number on the challenger, still weary from the choke slam.Punk went right to work on the neck of Batista, elbowing and stomping on Batista's neck before hitting a nice standing drop kick to the back of the head. Punk kicked the Animal in the back and began raining forearms down on the challenger's head again. Batista fought back with rights of his own before he was tripped up by the champion. Punk pounced and began absolutely killing the challenger with forearms to the back of the head. Punk slapped on a front face lock and it looks like a standing guillotine choke. Batista powered up to his feet and tossed Punk to the mat face first, but Punk connected with a King Booker-esq kick to the back of the hunched over challenger. Punk laid some knees in on the back of Batista before dropping a leg drop across his chest. Some knob is chanting boring. Screw him. Punk slapped on a face lock and Batista rallied to his feet and flung Punk over his head. Punk was relentless though, hitting a hangman's neck breaker for another two count. Punk went right back to the well with a head scissors, continuing to put pressure on the neck of Batista. Punk hit another kick to the back of the head for a two count. Punk kept smashing away with his kicks before attempting a whip and having it reversed. Batista caught some momentum but Punk countered him and Batista went sailing into the second turnbuckle. Punk hit the big knee in the corner and the bulldog for a two and a half count. Punk came vaulting off the top rope but Batista grabbed him out of the air and planted him with a spine buster. The two fought to their feet but Batista charged and bullied him to the corner and began planting shoulders into the champions mid section. He hit a whip and follow up clothesline and then tried again, but Punk countered only to miss a flying cross body block. He recovered in time to eat a spear but JBL came down as he was amping up to cause the DQ.Winner: No ContestJBL cleaned out Batista only for John Cena to come down to make the save. Cena went to clock JBL and missed by a mile and planted a big right hand into the face of Batista. Batista took exception and BRAWL~. The refs are pulling them apart as we headed off the air. RAW THOUGHTSShow Thoughts-- Tonight was another really solid show. Not a lot to knock. There seems to be a ton of chaos at the top of the card right now. With the win over Cena, you've gotta think JBL's probably the rightful #1 contender but Batista hasn't gotten a decision against Punk yet. Kane's doing his thing while Jericho is molten hot after a dominating win over previous #1 Shawn Michaels. John Cena is embroiled in a never ending rivalry with JBL while accidentally popping Batista in the face and opening up a huge can of worms there. Punk and his title seems swept up in the whole thing. One's gotta think something will give and im going to make a call that we'll likely see an elimination chamber, or should see one, at Summerslam. Punk seems to be a hybrid of Rey Mysterio's '06 run, Kurt Angle's first title run and Bret Hart's first go-round with the belt all jumbled into one. I'll bet he gets a big win escaping there before they look at passing the belt off to Jericho for the fall. The whole 'inmates running the asylum' thing has been great and it looks like we're leading up to a major angle with someone being installed as an authority figure.. Just in time for Summerslam.The rest of the show has just been a lot of fun. Beth Phoenix is becoming increasingly complicated while it seems every week a new Diva has remarkably learned how to wrestle and do it well. This week's winner is Kelly Kelly. D-Lo's back and Kofi Kingston is quickly becoming one of the most fun acts on the entire card. Ted Dibiase and Cody Rhodes are giving us a reason to actually give a crap about the tag belts and Cryme Tyme is as over as they've ever been. Jamie Noble's putting the moves on the chicks while Santino's dropping some charm too. Kane's not a lover though, and is shockingly interesting again. Really, Raw hasn't been this interesting in forever. I'm enjoying it. Overall Grade: B+Quick ResultsLance Cade def. Paul LondonBeth Phoenix def. Kelly KellyJohn Cena & Cryme Tyme def.

Sure, he got lucky to walk away with his belt, but the rub was a little better in my opinion than it might appear on the surface. Intercontinental Champion: Kofi Kingston 4-1, 11 points (Last Week: IC Champion) -- Easily the most unique act on the brand, he was a boat load of fun tonight and this whole Burchill thing may still have some TV legs at least until Summerslam. He takes the loss, but every week he helps himself out it seems.1. Chris Jericho 12-13-1, 26pts. (Last Week: 3)-- This ranking isn't just totally deserved but flat out unquestionable. After an excellent performance with HBK last night, he's molten, molten hot. Every match and promo he's cutting right now has been consistently strong and it's safe to say this is the best stretch he's had since late 2001. 2. JBL 10-16, 19 points (Last Week: 5)-- Gets a huge win last night. A huge clean win over the company ace after years of failed attempts. He's been great as a multi-faceted antagonist thus far and looks to be in line for a title shot at Summerslam. 3. John Cena 16-10, 27 points. (Last Week: 1) -- A fun match last night with JBL and a great job in the tag match tonight. He seems to be winning the crowd over again slowly. Now there's even a blossoming issue with Batista which we all knew was inevitable. A lot going on right now. 4. Shawn Michaels 15-4-1, 20pts. (Last Week: 2) -- Get absolutely dominated by Jericho last night drops him as he goes on what seems to be his mid summer hiatus. It may not be that long, as the Jericho feud remarkably still has legs after four months. 5. Batista 1-1-2, 2 Points (Last Week: 4)-- Batista's really turned into a guy whose not just a good looking main event draw, but a good looking main event draw who can wrestle. He's really beginning to come into his own and right now seems to be the most over face on the show. He's chasing Punk, jaw jacking with JBL, fighting Kane and now seems to have a problem with John Cena. Let's make friends.6. Paul Burchill 5-2, 7 points (Last Week: 6)-- Burchill stays put with the win. He's clearly not top five material yet, but keeps on winning. A pin fall victory over the Intercontinental Champion should put him in line for another shot at the title. 7. Rey Mysterio 1-0, 3 Points (Last Week: 7) --Oddly enough, again, NOT IN ACTION.8. Ted Dibiase, Jr. 1-2, 4 Points (Last Week: 8)-- Another fantastic promo spot with Cody tonight but this kid can flat out go. His selling is top notch, IMO and I think he's got all the tools to be a big star. 9. Cody Rhodes 7-7, 7 points (Last Week: 9)-- See Dibiase.10. Kane 0-3, 0 Points (Last Week: 10)--I'm keeping Kane in the top ten purely because he should be there considering all the stuff he's involved in right now. Deservedly stays in the mix.

Lions' Volleyball Sweeps Warriors
Volleyball -
Sat, Aug. 18, 2012
CALDWELL, Idaho -
College of Idaho Classic -
After splitting the first two matches of its opening tournament, Vanguard volleyball found its stride Saturday morning, defeating William Jessup (0-3) in straight sets (25-18, 25-19, 25-17) to move to 2-1 on the fledgling 2012 season. Sophomore
Ashli Bellinger
(Chandler, Ariz.) displayed her prowess on the floor, notching 10 kills, nine digs and two service aces for the Lions in the victory.
Vanguard went up early in the first set using a relentless attack and several William Jessup errors to its advantage. The Pride led by as many as eight (17-9) before putting the Warriors away 25-18.
William Jessup gained an early edge on VU in set two. Vanguard found itself down 12-16 midway through the set but a missed serve by the Warriors and a series of kills from senior
Candace Cedarstrom
(Ladera Ranch, Calif.), sophomore
Rachael Barker
(Torrance, Calif) and sophomore setter
Carly Maxwell
(Bakersfield, Calif.) tipped the scale in VU's favor as the Blue and Gold came from behind to steal a hard fought second set.
Using momentum from set two's late rally, the Lions leapt out to a 15-point lead (21-6) in the third. The Warriors battled to bring the set within seven but would get no closer as VU capped its first sweep of 2012 with a 25-17 win.
Kelly Heenan
(Costa Mesa, Calif.) registered a team-high 17 digs in the contest. Maxwell posted 24 assists and five digs, while junior
Grace Konstanzer
(Irvine, Calif.) and freshman
Sarah McKinny
(Santa Barbara, Calif.) aided the defense, garnering four digs apiece for Vanguard. Sophomore
Jessica Neves
(Fallbrook, Calif.) put together a balanced line with four kills, five assists, an ace, a dig and a blocking assist. Barker and Cedarstrom posted eight and three kills, respectively.
The Lions' final match of the tournament is scheduled for 2:00pm (PST) on Saturday afternoon.

Pair of Eagle County distilleries encounter plenty of obstacles
November 27, 2013
EAGLE COUNTY — Two sets of business partners received initial permits from the county to start two separate distilleries in 2012. Almost a year later, both operations are still navigating the state and federal permit process.
Claude Seeman, of 808 Distillery near the county fairgrounds, finished construction and got his still fired up last spring. He's made some private batches of limoncello, but he can't sell any yet.
"Our label and formula has to be approved by the federal government," he said. "We've been doing private batches to establish our formulas. We're hoping to have something on the shelves by the end of the year."
Jim Bensen, of Stoneyard Distillery in Dotsero, has had a couple extra hurdles to clear. His plan required more construction, such as installing water lines, and he leases the property.
"I finally got my building permits and then I had renegotiate with my landlord," he said. "Hopefully we'll have the building up in the next 90 to 130 days. Our state and federal permits are still in the works."
Bensen and his partner already built an 8-inch-diameter, 12-foot-tall column for the kettle that is currently being shipped from Georgia.
"The kettle was originally used by Hostess and was probably used to make Twinkies, so we're thinking of naming it Twinkie," Bensen said. "I already have 30,000 bottles sitting in a warehouse for when we start production."
Stoneyard's first batches will be rum, since it ages faster than whiskey.
"We'll use water from the Eagle River and Colorado beet sugar," Bensen said. "It'll be a complete Colorado product except for the bottles."
Storage is another tricky matter.
"We can only store so much in barrels because if you have 120 gallons in one container, it puts you into the 'hazardous' category for building codes and I would have to install a $20,000 sprinkler system," Bensen said.
Meanwhile, the men have regular jobs and families to maintain. Their original intent was merely to brew liquor as a hobby. Since they need permits to brew regardless of intent to sell — state permits cost $4,000 and the federal licensing is $16,000 — they figured they might as well make a business out of it.
"It's a very arduous process," Bensen said.

BirdNote: Time Changes Everything
| Download MP3
Not that long ago, Passenger Pigeons filled the skies.
Some flocks, with more than a billion birds, took four days to pass overhead.
Aldo Leopold called the pigeon "a biological storm."
Early explorers and settlers frequently mentioned Passenger Pigeons in their writings.
Samuel de Champlain in 1605 reported "countless numbers."
Yet by the early 1900s, no wild Passenger Pigeons could be found. Now they are extinct, gone forever from our world.

North Petherton 10, Old Redcliffians 16
PETHERTON'S impressive winning streak came to an abrupt end on Saturday after they lost narrowly to Bristol side Old Reds at Beggars Brook, writes Simon Freeman.
The early stages mirrored the entire match as Pethy made uncharacteristic errors and never quite recovered.
Old Reds took an early 3-0 lead in the 10th minute after a Petherton infringement but Petherton produced a genuine moment of quality a minute later when a break down the short side by Arron Gibbs, who bounced of two tacklers, pulled in the last defender to give a scoring pass to second row James Cox; Harry Roberts converted.
The visitors closed the gap with their second penalty and then scored their first try of the match to take a 13-7 half-time lead.
The second half began with the Reds camping themselves in the Pethy 22 but strong defence from Matt and Carl Brown kept them out.
In the 50th minute, Pethy worked their way up field from a break by Tito Elisara and, after a couple of passes and a try looking certain, play was called back for a forward pass.
The game remained stalemate until in the 65th minute, a break by Damian Griffin and James Carter pushed the visitors back to their line and with no advantage coming, the official awarded a penalty in the 22 which Roberts converted.
As the game entered the final stages, Petherton pressurised the visitors' line and only excellent cover defence stopped Pethy from securing the winning score.
But they conceded a penalty in front of the posts which the Reds sensibly used to extend the lead 10-16, the last score of the match.
Man of the match: James Cox.
Match sponsor: Adam Bere l IT'S a Somerset derby on Saturday when Pethy travel to Chard for a 3pm kick-off.

Most enjoyable cruise on a grand ship: Explorer of the Seas Cruise Review by onyourmark
Overall Member Rating
Most enjoyable cruise on a grand ship
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Bayonne (Cape Liberty)
Thursday; We arrived at the port around 1 pm, unloaded 2 suitcases and continued to the (uncovered) parking lot, pay in advance cash/credit $16 per day, (total $144). We considered other stay & park hotel options, but this worked the best for us. Very short lineup at check-in, with a slight delay in getting the SeaPass card printed due to backlog. (i.e. not enough printers to handle all the registration clerks). Passports of non U.S. passengers require a supervisor's review, so there was another delay. On to the shuttle bus for the short ride and when we More board the ship we're told the room was ready ! Dropped off carry-on and proceeded to Windjammer for a nice lunch and initial walk around the decks. Sign-out books from the library and found our table (number is on the SeaPass. First digit of the 3 indicates the deck number). Also signed up for Murder Mystery at the Promenade. Muster drill was ordinary. Luggage took a long time to get to our room (maybe 8 pm). We had a glass of wine at Dizzy's with free dry roasted peanuts. House Merlot was $5.50 (plus 15% gratuity). We arrived at the second seating dinner on deck 3 dining room and were the only couple at a table for 8. Where is everyone ? Had time to chat with the excellent assistant waiter Willar from Peru who learned our preferences for tomato juice and coffees for the rest of the cruise. I found nice variety in the menu compared to previous cruises. Some Indian, Thai and vegetarian choices. Celtics/Lakers game was projected on the big screen in Studio B. We found a good spot on deck 7 to view the Sailaway Parade at 10:30pm on the Promenade. Then had some tea and good Granola Apricot bar at Cafe Promenade. Despite everyone raving about the cookies, we found them a little too hard for our taste.
Friday - at sea. Breakfast at the dining room. No grapefruit juice - my only disappointment. Took the Digital camera seminar, which offered a few tips, and not too pushy selling products. We went to Captain's Welcome Aboard party. Free champagne cocktails and food on the Promenade and Maharajah lounge. Captain said we had 3,650 guests from 32 countries. At the formal dinner we met our tablemates - two couples from Staten Island and one from Norway - all very nice people. Ship had a nice mix of passengers, maybe 70% from the NY/NJ/CT/MA area. There was also a tour group of 50 - 60 motorcycle riders who were generally very well behaved. Night show was the young singer Delisco who was very good.
Saturday - Bermuda Bought the Bus pass for $12 each just after getting off the ship. Walked to the bus stop and rode the bus to Hamilton's harbor area (1 hr.). Then walked about and found our way to the main bus station and took the bus to St. George (another hour). Since the Ferry does not run on Saturday from the Docks to St. George, it was a little quiet there. They had some actors in costume playing out early American historic events. Walked around the quaint streets and got tasty ice cream at Temptations. We walked up the hill and reached the other side of the island at Tobacco Bay beach. It was a very nice spot to relax for a while. We were actually able to see the ship docked all the way at the other tip of Bermuda. There is a golf course next to the beach, where the clubhouse is open to the public. We took the bus back to Hamilton and opted not to get off at the Aquarium stop for the famous Rum Swizzle and Ice cream. After some more walking in Hamilton we took the Ferry back to the Wharf area for rum cakes samples, art gallery and small beach which was also nice. Ship departure was delayed as we waited for an ambulance to return an injured passenger. The Solarium pool finally opened (it was closed for maintenance for 2 days). We watched a beautiful sunset on the deck just outside Johnny Rocket. Tonight's variety show Fast Forward was very good.
Sunday - at sea Breakfast service at the dining room is a little slow. Light lunch at Windjammer - just a Greek salad. At 3:00 we had the Wine Tasting, for which we used the C&A $10 coupons. There were over 100 people at dining tables with 6 wines to sample. Highly recommended. Welcome back party for C&A members - free rum punch. We went for the early party since we were going to the Murder Mystery at 7 pm. Based on other CC posters we knew what to expect. Starting at Dizzy's with champagne and canapEs there were about 60 guests divided into 5 or 6 groups. The cast was introduced and they were doing some improv on the script. Then we moved in an orderly fashion to Portofino (no other diners were allowed). There was a smaller menu, but excellent food quality and service, with unlimited red and white wine (but extra charge for soft drinks). The mystery continued between courses, and each guest was able to interrogate the suspects and get some assistance from the waiters. We went to Invitation to Dance at Studio B where they selected 4 couples for the "finals" later in the cruise. The late show with comic Jeff Jena was very good.
Monday - St. Maarten We booked Bernard Tours based on CC posters. I thought there will be a large group but there was only one other couple with us in the minivan. We docked at noon, met Bernard at 12:30 and he drove us around (there was some heavy rain, but it cleared up after a while). We stopped at the souvenir store (got a beach mat), Maho Beach before the large planes stopped coming, Marigot market, Orient Beach and back to Philipsburg for shopping before they closed at 6:00 pm. I found the lowest duty free liquor prices here, and the two bottles were taken for storage until the last evening. Pool party after dinner had the crowd really hopping with the sounds of T & T Jewels, the Caribbean band
Tuesday - St. Thomas Did the immigration "dance". Non U.S. went to the level 4 dining room, and there were no lineups. We walked to town (Taxi at $4 per person is better option). We walked in the old town, 99 steps, Blackbeard castle, crafts market, back for Lunch at the ship. Made it just in time when it started raining. Spent the afternoon in the solarium pool and then the Ice show Sprits of the Seasons. Evening event was the "love and marriage" game.
Wednesday - San Juan. Early arrival at 7 am. We docked in Pier 3, right in the old town. We went to the Tourist information booth past the crafts market and got a walking map. Walked around the old cobblestone streets, Pigeon park, Governor's building etc. Shops only opened at 10 am. We found some familiar stores like Marshalls and Walgreens. We hopped on the free open-side trolley, which takes you around the old city with about 25 stops. The place was very clean and safe. Lots of kids around on the last week of school, flying kites in the grassy plains near the forts, which we didn't have time to visit. Actually we felt that if we got off the trolley, there will be no room for us on the next one to return to the ship. We had our "sinful" lunch at Johnny Rocket (Burgers, onion rings, fries, chili), and used our Gold member coupon for a free cover charge. Dinner at the dining room - I had good curry soup and duck main course, dishes I would normally not have at home. The comedian / Impersonator (Scott Record) was very good, but the Quest game at Studio B afterwards was hilarious.
Thursday - at sea We went to a cooking demonstration with the chef - very amusing. Stayed at poolside, solarium hot tub & Sauna. Windjammer lunch. Formal dinner - again only two of us at the table tonight. I had lobster & shrimp. The portions at all the meals were sufficient, but the waiters were happy to bring seconds for anyone who asked. Evening show was Invitation to Dance revue, again very good. Finally we got to spend some time in the Casino (smoke free on Formal nights - a policy some smokers were grumbling about). Made a small profit at the roulette table.
Friday - at sea. Attended some activities: Captain's Corner, Backstage Tour, Learn to Salsa - all enjoyable. More time by the Solarium pool, game of minigolf. Then packing up the suitcases, and lining up for the Farewell Parade. Saturday - disembarkation We got up at 6 am, had light breakfast at Windjammer, and watched the arrival under the Verazanno bridge with the Statue of Liberty and NYC skyline. We needed to get to Studio B for Express walk-off around 8:00am. This was the only chaotic experience with so many guests and their luggage trying to make their way down to level 3, then having to wait until the ship was finally cleared with U.S. authorities at about 8:45am. It was very crowded and we were standing for about an hour. Once our group (#5) was called, we had to make our way down to deck 1 (using elevators or stairs), and it was much smoother from there on, to the shuttle buses, through immigration, and rolling our suitcases right to the car, getting on our way home at 9:30 am.
In summary - excellent cruise in all respects. Less

What Happened to my Holland?: Oosterdam Cruise Review by dmaikui
Overall Member Rating
What Happened to my Holland?
Destination: Alaska
Embarkation: Seattle
Seattle Embarkation was a breeze we were on board by 11:30 and our cabin was ready. We book a suite because we like to use the Neptune Lounge and the other perks we get with a suite. However, this time our suite smelled of stale sweat and the drawers had some dirty kleenex and other debris inside. The cabin steward said he could not spray the room. I informed the gals in the Neptune Suite and next thing I knew the cabin steward was in the room spraying some nice smelling spray, he sprayed for the next few days and smell finally went away. I went to lie on the bed after lunch and found some foul smelling stain on the top sheet! He came back looked at it and changed the sheets right away. The bottom sheet also had a hole in it, remember we are in a suite!
I was a little disappointed in the Lido fare also as it was the same More everyday. The dining room menu was good, but a little to fancy with all the sauces and other things they were trying to do to make it a 5 star restaurant, last time the fare was wonderful. The table stewards were very slow and confused. The room service was not up to par either, we only ordered it once. I have to say I am very disappointed in the changes I saw on the ship, and I am usually an easy pleased person. I am thinking of going back to Princess!
The disembarkation was a breeze in Seattle too and the Neptune gals, Ice and Essea, were wonderful and took care of all our needs. By the way, Alaska was wonderful as usual, sunshine and shorts for 5 days till Ketchikan then chilly and rainy. We did not get to go to Tracy Arm due to the wind, went to Endicate Arm instead. Less

They were three simple words, softly spoken, but the effect they had on the congregation in St Mary's Church in Thame, Oxfordshire, was electrifying.
Bee Gee Barry Gibb, delivering a eulogy at his brother Robin's funeral earlier this month, spoke about his brother's family, and his love for his children Spencer, Melissa, and RJ.
Then he added: 'And little Snow.'
A family friend, who was there, tells me: 'Snow and her mother Claire weren't at the funeral. They were the elephant in the room.
'Everyone talked about Robin and his children but carefully made no mention of Snow. Then Barry just went ahead and did it. He just came out with it quietly and naturally.
'When Barry said the child's name, it was as if a bullet went right through the church. We couldn't quite believe our ears.'
On that grey June day, Snow Robin Gibb was 25 miles away in a smart detached house in Amersham, Buckinghamshire, with her mother Claire Yang. Now three, she is an enchanting young girl, with pale brown hair and chocolate eyes.
Neighbours often hear her playing and laughing in the garden. Miss Yang, who had been the Gibbs' housekeeper, refused to say why she chose not to attend the funeral with Snow, acknowledged as Robin's daughter.
But you might imagine she was influenced by stories suggesting Robin Gibb's widow Dwina would 'hate' it if she turned up.
So what is the truth about Claire Yang, now 37, and her romance with Robin Gibb? And what will she do now that he has sadly passed away?
The mistress: Claire Yang with her and Robin Gibb's baby daughter Snow Evelyn Robin Juliet Gibb
News of their liaison emerged only in February 2009, three months after Snow was born at the private Portland Hospital in West London.But they are thought to have been involved romantically for some years before that.
The picture here of Robin and Claire, side-by-side in the lobby of the exclusive five-star Westin Bellevue Hotel in Dresden, is the first photograph to emerge of them as a couple. It was taken by a fan in September 2004 when the star was in the middle of a German concert tour.
Robin's comment after Snow's birth was charmingly enigmatic: 'New life is heaven sent and a blessing. That's what I can say about children and life.'
To the surprise of many, he and Dwina remained married, and Miss Yang moved out to a rented property nearby. In the early weeks he was a regular visitor. Robin explained towards the end of 2009 that his having had a mistress and a baby outside the marriage had been irrelevant to his family life with Dwina.
'Our relationship is rock-solid and that's the most important thing to me,' he said.
Friends of the Gibbs say that this must have been intensely painful for Claire to hear, because she had been desperately in love with her employer for years. Indeed, according to one friend who spoke on the condition of anonymity, she had actually hoped that Robin would eventually leave Dwina for her.
Born in Braintree, Essex, in 1975, Claire Yang is the daughter of Dick, a computer systems engineer, and Evelyn, a one-time bank clerk. And although she was a baby herself when the band found fame, she is also, significantly, a big Bee Gees fan.
Gibb's friend says: 'She was a fan who was taken on as paid staff. And from there, of course, it was a dream come true to have a relationship with Robin.'
Miss Yang, who started out as a housekeeper, worked both at the couple's 12th-century mansion in Thame and at their waterfront spread in Miami, Florida. Records show that she lived in Miami for a time.
The friend says: 'She was absolutely and desperately in love with Robin. The word I would use is obsessively in love. My view is she probably thought she would run off into the sunset with him, but that was never going to happen. Dwina would never give him up, and they loved each other.'
Claire started working for Robin Gibb in 2001, and it has been claimed there was a romance from the early days, although I'm told it only became obvious rather later.
Certainly, by 2004, when our picture was taken, she was already travelling abroad with her employer, and for some years she continued to join him at corporate engagements or concerts.
Dwina, it appears, was well used to his flings. They had married in 1985 and, as a bisexual former Druid priestess, she was far from a conventional person.
Her husband once revealed they had an 'open marriage' and she confirmed: 'We have an open relationship. Robin has had flings with friends of mine and he talks to me about them.'
Yet this was not just a fling. The friend says: 'When he travelled in those years, Claire would come out and look after him completely, she was devoted to his every need. It would not have gone as far as it did if it was some kind of a casual fling.
'They were all living very closely in gated grounds. Robin spent quite a bit of time with her and things developed. There was a relationship, a full relationship, and I guess that they were happy together. I think that Dwina didn't mind too much until there was a baby, too. That was the step too far.'
Dwina, 59, is said to have asked Claire to leave after learning that she was pregnant by her husband. But she didn't go far, renting a house only five miles away. In the early days, Robin paid for the rent on the houses she lived in, and for a nanny and a car, too.
One of the great showbusiness eccentrics, with his lavender glasses and obvious wigs, Robin was the kind of person who did business on the basis of a handshake, and it seems that this applied to his relationship with Claire Yang, too. There does not appear to have been any formal support agreement.
But Gibb's friend confirms the romance cooled after Snow was born. He says: 'Robin talked about her a lot, but that was more before she got pregnant than afterwards. I think there was a general feeling that once the baby had arrived it was to be the start of a new chapter for everyone, including Claire.
'That's not to say he didn't think of her. I remember in 2010 he was in Australia and he got a big toy koala for Snow. For quite a long time he was absolutely seeing the child.
'It wasn't mentioned to Dwina. I know that he used to talk to Barry about Snow and Claire. Barry was probably one of the few people he could talk to. From what I heard, Claire was unhappy. The one thing she never wanted to lose was Robin and when the baby arrived, she did lose him. She was isolated. It is quite sad.'
This much is confirmed by an old neighbour, who lived next to the house which she rented for a year when Snow was very young.
The neighbour said: 'I never once saw anyone other than her or the baby coming or going from that house. I never saw Robin Gibb. She really kept to herself.'
When Robin's health failed last year, Claire seems to naturally have wanted to formalise their arrangement. With the end of their romance, it must have occurred to her that it would be wise to secure her daughter's future.
I'm told that around spring of last year, when he was diagnosed with liver cancer, it was decided that Claire would need an official settlement for Snow. And it was the process of settling a lump sum which seems to have resulted in a final schism between them.
Robin had given his word that Snow would be treated equally, just like his other children.
He had promised to provide for her — but it was settling the details of how this should be done which caused trouble.
Gibb's long-standing friend said: 'It became impossible for them. It then became really difficult between him and Claire. In the end, when his health was bad, he found it intolerable. It was just a mess.'
One problem was working out what Robin, who died aged 62, was actually worth — his fortune is estimated at £140 million.
The process of formally totting up his assets was complicated and lengthy and tempers frayed.
'It was the process which took its toll,' the friend says. 'Dwina found it distressing when Robin was ill and Robin found it all too much as well.'

Benefits of using Pilkington Glass:
- The windows in your home not only let in the light to make rooms brighter, they also control the heat going in and out of the room. Coatings on the glass such as Pilkington K Glass™ maximise the free heat from the sun going in as well as ensuring that as little heat as possible goes out.
- Pilkington K Glass™ has a low-emissivity coating which is positioned on the surface of the inner pane that faces into the cavity of the insulating glass unit (IGU). Standard glass absorbs heat then radiates it again on the colder, outside, surface. The low-emissivity coating is a poor radiator of heat, so the heat absorbed by the coated glass does not travel across the air gap to the outer pane and the cooler outside air. Instead the coating reflects the heat back into the room. This means that windows incorporating Pilkington K Glass™ allow heat from the sun through and keep heat inside, making it easier and more cost effective to keep buildings warm.

Loyal to Royal but questioning after our first European cruise: Liberty of the Seas Cruise Review by ohiorosetta

Loyal to Royal but questioning after our first European cruise
Destination: Europe - Western Mediterranean
Embarkation: Barcelona
This was our first time using My TIme Dining -- first night was amazing -- wonderful service by the window. It went down hill from there. We were a family of 5 -- and placed often between 2 larger tables -- where once in, could not get out -- and often forgotten by the waiters. First time this happened but it happened most nights - not impressed with my time dining.
We ordered room service one morning because we had an early excursion -- it never came -- we called 3 times -- response was 5 minutes. We left - it was never delivered. Our room steward took it upon herself to follow-up we did get some chocolate covered strawberries but did not feel comfortable trying room service again.
We bought some limoncello at the Naples port -- which More of course we had to check. Royal did not have an easy area to get to the table to check resulting in my husband dropping and breaking the bottle. We could not replace this item. Poor process on Royal's part.
Our biggest issue was actually with Crown and Anchor Society -- we are platinum but had never attended an event. We tried to attend the Welcome Back part -- attire was casual that night. The staff blocking the door not only told us we could not go in but was very demeaning toward us. We had returned late from a tour and my husband happened to be wearing shorts. Granted this was Europe but shorts had not been a problem in the past in the dining room. We stopped at Guest Services to complain - he apologized for the rude behavior but told my husband he would not be allowed in the event or the dining room. My husband changed -- we went to dinner where we witnessed several men in shorts. Royal needs to clean up its conflicting policies.
Overall it was a great family cruise -- we enjoyed it -- however, we did not receive the level of service that RC has provided in the past and we had come to expect. Our room and room steward were awesome though. Less

Cabin review: 8307
This room was amazing. We had a Family Oceanview Stateroom in the past. This stateroom had a lot more room with a view of the promenade. We did hear the parades on the Promenade because the bridge was next to our window. However, it was not that troublesome. The room had a walk-in closet and bathtub shower (unlike the oceanview stateroom). I would highly recommend this cabin if you have a family (5-6 people) -- RC does not release many of these cabins.

Frank Riordan - Poem by Francis Duggan
He and Neily Lehane in the late sixties they formed a Club and a Gaelic Football team
And the Football Club they christened Slanan Rovers and Cloghoula people back then had a dream
That they might one day be Duhallow Champions but to win in any grade quite hard to do
And though out of dreams great ideas have been born dreams are dreams and they don't always come true.
Frank Riordan was the President of Slanan Rovers and of the honour he felt very proud
And of the footballers who wore the Slanan jersey he spoke in glowing terms and sang their praises loud
And with help from the likes of Joe and Noel Buckley, Danny Healy and Dave Sheehan as well as many others who rallied around
A football club was thriving in Cloghoula and many willing helpers to be found.
The untimely death at a young age of Danny Healy a great blow to Cloghoula and it's football team
He was liked by the officials and players and by so many held in high esteem
But the likes of Frank Riordan and Neily Lehane worked all the harder their motto all for one and one for all
And Slanan Rovers survived for a decade and in Duhallow played Gaelic football.
Frank Riordan was the President of Slanan Rovers a Gaelic Football Club formed close to Millstreet Town
Till emigration and a dwindling population the curtain on them finally brought down
But then suppose nothing can last forever and Slanan Rovers like all had their day
And life goes on and time brings about changes and things are quiet now up Cloghoula way.

Mum's Cheese Scones
Recipe by Daydream
My mother's most requested recipe.
Top Review by Lalaloula
Mmmm, Im in cheese heaven right now!!! :) These scones are very, very tasty!!! Due to the quite original way of preparing these, they had a very different texture from what Im used to in scones: They were very fluffy and spongy, but that was great! I luved the combination of cheese and cayenne pepper (will use more of it next time) and the overall taste of these! This recipe was so easy and quick to put together that I had it on the table in nearly no time. Great if youre short on time. THANKS SO MUCH for sharing this lovely recipe with us, Daydream! Ill surely make it again!

Richard, I had _exactly_ the same problem when I first installed Majordomo on my Linux system (at the time I think I had all the same versions of Linux/Majordomo/Perl that you do). Anyway, run the "top" command and watch your process run when you send mail to Majordomo. My physical memory droped to nothing (~256k) and my swap got eaten up until the whole process just died. If I killed the process, I got mail with some cryptic mail message telling me there was a mailer error (insufficient memory or somesuch). The key here is to see who the owner of the process is. If the owner appears to be a user that is not on your system (like uid 54, which is the default uid and gid with the majordomo distribution), you need to edit your Makefile and change the following lines: [...] # W_UID = 0 <--- this should be the UID for ROOT W_GID = 0 <--- this should be the GID for ROOT W_CHOWN=root <--- make sure this says "root" W_CHMOD=4755 WRAPPER_FLAGS = -DBIN=\"${W_BIN}\" -DPATH=\"PATH=${W_PATH}\" \ This was the fix for my system. Try it out and see if works for you. Good luck, Kevin Taylor firstname.lastname@example.com >;)

NDP Leader Andrea Horwath is accusing Ontario's Liberal government of using a legislative accord with the Progressive Conservatives to "ram through" a law to help a construction company that donated large sums of money to both parties.
Bill 74, sponsored by Tory MPP Monte McNaughton and supported by Premier Kathleen Wynne, would free EllisDon Corporation from a 1958 labour agreement that grants two unions exclusive rights to represent some of its workers. Ms. Wynne contends the legislation is necessary to put EllisDon on a "level playing field" with construction firms that do not have to use unionized labour.
A Globe and Mail analysis of Elections Ontario data shows that EllisDon, companies connected to it and its CEO gave a combined total of $125,960 to the Liberals in 2012. So far this year, they have donated $41,500 to the party. The PCs, meanwhile, received $32,400 last year and $14,815 in 2013 from EllisDon and its subsidiaries. EllisDon gave the NDP $1,930 last year and has given the party nothing to date in 2013.
The EllisDon bill is one of eight pieces of legislation the Liberals and PCs agreed to fast-track this week. While the other bills in the agreement are not controversial, the NDP says the EllisDon legislation is "inappropriate" and allows the company to break the 1958 contract.
"The government and the Conservatives are ganging up to ram this bill through for the benefit of a donor," Ms. Horwath said on Thursday.
Ms. Horwath's party also accepts donations from companies and unions affected by government policy, but she maintained the EllisDon bill is unusual because it helps just one firm.
"[Bill 74] isn't about broad stakeholders, this isn't about the construction sector, this isn't about the trade union movement," she said. "This is about one single company."
Tom Howell, vice-president of labour relations at EllisDon, would not comment on Ms. Horwath's assertions. He said the bill "only seeks to uphold the status quo."
The company has long used non-unionized workers. Only in recent years did unions seek to enforce the 1958 deal. The Labour Relations Board sided with the unions in 2012, but gave EllisDon two years' grace to see if the government would change the rules.
Ms. Wynne said Bill 74 is getting the fast-track because her party and the Tories support it.

District Mayor Vincent Gray announced Monday that 16 former public school buildings would be made available for public charters and other community organizations to use.
The move comes amidst growing demand for charter school spots in the city. Roughly 22,000 students were on public charter waitlists this year, up from about 15,000 last year, the Public Charter School Board announced earlier this month.
Deputy Mayor for Education Abigail Smith said that financial stability and academic achievement are the top criteria in determining which schools get buildings. Interested schools must outline their proposals by submitting an inquiry form.
|School's out
|Vacant facilities available for charter use
|Benning Elementary School, 100 41st St. NE
|Ferebee-Hope Elementary School, 3999 8th St. SE
|Gibbs Elementary School, 500 19th St. NE
|Hamilton Center, 1401 Brentwood Parkway, NE
|Kenilworth Elementary School, 1300 44th St. NE
|Langston Elementary School, 33 P St. NW
|Mamie D. Lee School, 100 Gallatin St. NE
|Marshall Elementary School, 3100 Fort Lincoln Drive, NE
|M.C. Terrell-McGogney Elementary School, 3301 Wheeler Road, SE
|Ron Brown Middle School, 4800 Meade St. NE

|Shaed Education Campus, 301 Douglas St. NE
|Sharpe Health School, 4300 13th St. NW

|Winston Education Campus, 3100 Erie St. SE
|Young Elementary School, 820 26th St. NE
"We're looking for charter schools that are serving kids well," Smith said. "We want schools that have some kind of record for performance."
Charters have to find their own facilities, which can leave them operating out of less-than-optimal locations like storefronts and churches. Charter elementary schools on average have 53 percent less square feet per student than traditional public schools, according to the DC Public Charter School Board. Charter middle schools average 72 percent less square feet per student, while charter high schools average 39 percent less.
"Whenever [charters] go into the commercial market, it's costly, and they frequently aren't able to afford enough space for their students," said Robert Cane, executive director of charter advocacy group Friends of Choice in Urban Schools. "They can have crowded classrooms, no playgrounds or playing fields, often no cafeteria or gym."
He added that schools must often move around multiple times before finding a permanent home, which can take its toll on students' academic achievement.
The schools will be doled out in phases, and interest will determine how many are given out at one time, Smith said. The first round is scheduled to start in July.
Cane called the move "a good thing," but said he was waiting to see how many schools would be in each phase. In the past, he said, schools have all been released at once, with those that don't garner charter attention sold off for commercial use.
"If the mayor were to offer all of these buildings for the charter schools in one lump, they couldn't use all of them," Cane said. "The next year, somebody could have used them, but of course, they're not there anymore."
Public charter schools currently operate in more than 30 D.C. Public Schools buildings. The District has never before released this many former school facilities, Smith said.

I cannot possibly count the many ways in which I love the movie Point Break, but here are the top five: 1. The speech that Patrick Swayze gives the Ex-Presidents as they're all sitting around the fire, which reaches its height of brilliance at the line: "We stand for something. To those dead souls inching along the freeways in their metal coffins, we show them that the human spirit is still alive." Dude, genius! 2. The fact that one of the characters is actually named "Warchild." 3. It's one of the oh-so-rare action movies directed by a woman. 4. Cameo appearance by Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. 5. More foxy boys per capita than practically any other movie ever made. And I love Keanu so much - then, now, always and forever.

I went to see "Point Break Live!" the stage show in LA a couple of months back and it was so awesome I was promoted to buy the original Swayze/Keanu movie. Everyone should buy this DVD, savour its cheesiness and blatant homo-eroticism and then run and see the stage show (in SF, LA, NYC I think)
lovelikelife's recommendation
When the waters are too big you don't float! Point Break is a hysteric party on the seas! Follow an undercover police office played by Keanu Reeves through the seedy underbelly of a surfer gang that may be doing something a little more dangerous while on shore! Patrick Swayze is definitely on his game in this one!
JustEliana's recommendation
This movie is just so so good. Its the 90's version of Fast and the Furious and it deals with waves. Keanu is the older Paul Walker.
