411's LIVE SHIMMER: Women Athletes DVD Taping Report 7.05.08

All of the action for Volumes 19 and 20 of the DVD series!
On Saturday, July 5, 2008, SHIMMER: Women Athletes returned to the Eagles' Club in Berwyn, Illinois to tape Volumes 19 and 20 of its popular DVD series. Despite the holiday weekend and despite the fact that several regular attendees were not present, the company still managed to sell out its (relatively small) venue, making this the third consecutive taping with standing room only. The crowd was energetic throughout their roughly six hours in the building, and they were treated to the following wrestling action.
In a SPARKLE dark match, Jordan McIntyre defeated T.D., who apparently has no last name. McIntyre looked good for the most part, but there were a couple of badly blown spots, seemingly due more to miscommunication between the two men if nothing else. The award for Idiotic Fan Comment during this match goes to the guy who tried to start a "boring" chant. Newsflash, buddy, it's a dark match. It's not supposed to be as good as anything on the main show. McIntyre finished his opponent off with the top rope elbow drop.
In SPARKLE dark match number two of the evening, Egotistico Fantastico pinned Jeff (?) Brooks. Brooks came out looking like the offspring of Larry Sweeney and Claudio Castagnoli, while Ego has done a gimmick for several years in which he's essentially a hybrid of Delirious and El Generico. There was plenty of comedy during and immediately after the wrestlers' entrances, prompting ring announcer Joey Eastman (who normally announces time cues during SHIMMER matches) to let the audience know that "five minutes have gone by in this match, five minutes remaining" immediately after the opening bell. Once things got going, they were decent though unspectacular.
Taped for Volume 19
Match #1: The show proper opened with a SHIMMER Battle Royale. This was a Royal Rumble-style match with thirty second intervals between entrances and every woman wrestling on the tapings participating. It was announced that the winner would be receiving a title shot in the Volume 19 main event. Normally I'm not a huge fan of battles royale, but with the thirty second intervals things were moving at such a rapid pace that it didn't have time to get boring. There was a scary elimination early, as Serena Deeb went over the top at a bad angle and seemingly landed on the ring steps. (I couldn't get a good look at exactly what happened from my seat.) She showed no ill effects of the landing later on, though. Nikki Roxx made her return to the promotion in this match, which was announced in advance through the company's website. Unannounced, however, was LUFISTO, who ran in out of nowhere to a great reaction. Another surprise was the debut of Veronica Vice, a young talent from the Great White North. LuFi and Cheerleader Melissa engaged in a massive forearm battle in the center of the ring that may have received the longest sustained heat of anything on the first half of the tapings. Sara Del Rey was on the match and dominant, using the look she recently adopted in Ring of Honor and wrestling a new, more violent style based on the likes of Bull Nakano and other badass heels from the glory days of joshi.
Also dominant was the Amazing Kong, who garnered several eliminations and had an awesome spot in which she military pressed poor Portia Perez out of the ring and down on to a pile of wrestlers. Unfortunately for Kong, this move left her back exposed, which allowed Portuguese Princess Ariel to organize a team of three wrestlers to eliminate the TNA Women's Champ. Fortunately, her top stayed on this time. Ariel continued to have a very good showing in the match, also scoring a surprise elimination on Del Rey. This left Ariel, who was one of the first two women in the match, alone in the ring with Jetta. The Princess looked to have things well in hand, but she was attacked by the previously eliminated Del Rey and thrown out of the ring while Jetta was having a conversation with the referee. When the ref turned around, he saw that Ariel was on the floor and awarded the match to Jetta, who won the match and the title shot despite the fact that she didn't even see how Ariel was eliminated.
After the final bell, Death Rey continued her assault on Ariel, lifting her up for the tree slam on the floor and throwing her in to the guardrail. I think the idea was for Ariel's back to hit the steel, but it looked more like she got her head slammed in to the structure.
Daizee Haze did an in-ring promo with Becky Bayless. Daizee announced that she injured her ribs training at the ROH Academy earlier this week and would not be wrestling on the tapings as a result.
Match #2: Portia Perez defeated Shark Girl. Perez got a fairly positive reaction after missing the last set of tapings. Shark Girl is also fairly well-loved, though there was a small contingent in the crowd that passionately hated her. I guess that will happen any time you do a wacky comedy character in front of an audience spun off of ROH's fans. There wasn't much of note here aside from a botched bodyslam. Even that wouldn't have been notable if not for the fact that it, oddly enough, played in to a storyline later on. The finish came when Shark Girl did the ten punches in the corner, only for Portia to powerbomb her out of that position and get the pin with her feet on the ropes.
Match #3: Serena Deeb pinned Danyah. Tonight was Deeb's first appearance in the promotion after apparently getting some plastic surgery. This was Danyah's first singles match with the company, and, though she wasn't bad, I liked her better as a tag team wrestler. She had great comebacks in the tag matches but wasn't quite as good at taking a beating, which she obviously had to do here. Deeb eventually got the clean win with her breathtaking spear.
Match #4: Ashley Lane and Neveah beat Cat Power and Veronica Vice. Lane and Neveah gel better as a team every time I see them, and they're getting to the point where they could be really awesome in a couple of years. Power and Vice appeared to be perfectly serviceable. Lane and Neveah both took turns being beaten on for a while before making the firey comeback and getting an easy win with their single legged dropkick/flatliner combination.
Match #5: Lorelei Lee was sacrificed to the Amazing Kong. This was the biggest squash in SHIMMER in quite some time, which was disappointing because Lorelei had a good showing on the last set of tapings, and I was hoping that would result in her having a more prominent role. Unfortunately, she got all of two offensive moves against the monster and was otherwise decimated in a quick match. Kong hit her with two hard backhands and then the spinning backfist to get the pin. Lorelei was visibly crying after the match and wasn't seen for the rest of the night. Word after the show was that she had suffered some sort of jaw injury.
Match #6: Nikki Roxx made her return to one-on-one SHIMMER competition against Nicole Matthews. Not surprisingly, Roxx got a hearty reaction from the crowd. She was decked out in her TNA gear, which is a bit surprising since she's used her old Nikki Roxx look in other indies even after the head shaving. As any good heel would, Nicole misinterpreted the crowd's pro-Nikki chants as support for her until the audience went back and clarified that Nikki "Roxx" while Nicole "Suxx." Nikki has improved so much since going to TNA that it's not even funny. I'm not exactly the biggest fan of that promotion, but even I have to admit that it's great for young indy talent like Roxx to go there and learn the lessons that they can be taught by the numerous veterans in the locker room. Matthews, who turned a lot of heads with her singles performances on Volumes 17 and 18, got a respectable amount of offense in against her more seasoned opponent, though she ultimately fell to the Barbie Crusher.
Match #7: Allison Danger went one-on-one with "Girl Dynamite" Jennifer Blake. The story of this match seemed to be that Blake would continually try for big offense but that Danger would use her experience advantage to avoid it. This was apparent from the first spot in the match, in which Danger locked up with Blake and tricked her in to walking up the ropes, only to drop the young Canadian on her face seconds later. Danger also managed to avoid Blake's running dropkick on the floor, nailing Girl Dynamite with a clothesline as she charged in for the maneuver. Blake eventually did make a bit of a comeback, including an insane number of Kobashi chops in the corner. (She in fact did so many that it almost became a comedy spot, which I don't think was her intent.) Danger responded with the second rope version of the Old School Expulsion and got a rollup for the victory.
Once the match concluded, Danger got on the stick and called Blake the greatest young Canadian talent that she'd seen in some time. This was the cue for "Edge of Seventeen" by Stevie Nicks to play, bringing out Portia Perez and Nicole Matthews. Portia was nibbling on a chocolate chip cookie, seemingly for no reason other than to set up a Danger joke about her looking young. Perez and Matthews objected to Danger calling Blake the best young Canadian talent in the promotion, saying that they actually held that distinction. Danger was also referred to as a "Diet Canadian" by Perez. All of the women did very well in this interview, particularly Portia, who has displayed quality heel charisma for a while but hasn't had much of a chance to express it on the mic.
Match #8: LuFisto pinned Rain. LuFisto got a big "welcome back" chant and looked every bit as good as she did prior to her sabbatical. Rain has her good nights and her bad nights, and fortunately this was one of her better nights. As a result, this wasn't a main event level match, but it was exactly what it needed to be for its position on the card. A burning hammer got LuFisto the duke.
Match #9: Sara Del Rey mauled Ariel. Sara entered first and then ambushed Ariel as soon as she walked through the curtain. Del Rey's new in-ring style was on full display here, complete with torturous submission holds and many more stiff kicks than what she would lay in during her babyface days. Because Ariel was still selling the post-battle royale beating and because she got attacked before the bell, this was not as competitive of a match as I would have otherwise expected. The Portuguese Princess did have her offensive flurries and was good during them, but it felt like the structure of the match and the storyline was preventing her from putting her best on display. The end of the match came when Ariel (billed at 160 pounds) climbed for the top rope and went for a cross body, only to be caught in midair by Death Rey and maneuvered in to the Royal Butterfly. That, of course, resulted in the three count.
Match #10: Mercedes Martinez took on Cheerleader Melissa. These two were beating on each other like they owed each other money, though that shouldn't come as much of a surprise to those who are familiar with their styles. After the expected brutal chops and strikes, the women headed in to a boatload of finisher reversals, with Melissa looking for the Kudoh Driver and the Air Raid Crash and Mercedes looking for the fisherman buster. The buster was the first of those moves to hit, and it resulted in the Latina Sensation getting the victory.
Match #11: MsChif defended her SHIMMER Championship against Jetta. This was an interesting match, because Jetta always seems to do a lot of comedy when she's in the ring with MsChif, and I was curious to see whether she could do that and simultaneously take the kind of serious tack necessary for an effective main event title match. Oddly enough, it worked very well. There was plenty of screaming by MsChif and plenty of reacting by Jetta, but, when the two needed to get serious and actually wrestle, they did a fine job of it without completely destroying the characters established during the comedy. The highlight of the match was a big superplex from Jetta, which is a fairly old school move but was a big shock coming out of her given that she's a relatively low impact, low risk wrestler (which is exactly what the indies need more of these days). MsChif retained her championship, though, hitting the Desecrator for the pin in the center of the ring.
Intermission. In the rush to and from the gimmick table, a young man lost his duct tape wallet. Thanks to Joey Eastman's announcing and Cheerleader Melissa leading the crowd in a "duct tape" chant. It was returned to him.
Taped for Volume 20
Match #1: Shark Girl pinned Veronica Vice. In her first SHIMMER singles match, Vice's basics looked pretty good, thought she had some problems when she went for more advanced moves, including a springboard something or other that did not end well. Fortunately the veteran Shark Girl did a good job of covering for the blown moves . . . or at least she did until the finish. I believe it was supposed to be Sharky reversing a move in to a stunner, but, at least from the angle I had, the manner in which the women fell resulted in it being fairly difficult to tell exactly who was supposed to be hurt by whatever they did. The fish pinned her opponent anyway.
Match #2: In the special challenge match set up on Volume 19, Allison Danger and Jennifer Blake took on the "Canadian Ninjas," Portia Perez and Nicole Matthews. Matthews and Perez came out in matching, "Just to Let You Know, I am a Ninja" t-shirts. I have a new favorite tag team. Once everybody got in to the ring, Portia informed the other three that she has determined that she is the master of avoiding the bodyslam. (Perhaps a reference to the botched slam in the Volume 19 match? If so, AWESOME. If not, still cool.) She put one thousand dollars CANADIAN on the line, claiming that Danger could not slam her in the first minute of the match. Of course, Portia immediately tagged out after making the challenge and stayed on the apron until the first minute expired. I am so in to this character that it's not even funny.
Once the serious portion of the match got going, it was your standard babyface-in-peril situation, with the bad girls double teaming Blake until she got the big tag to Danger. Girl Dynamite managed to hit most of her big moves, including the Kawada chops, the dropkick on the floor, and a big tope suicida. Eventually things came down to Perez and Danger. Portia hit a fairly standard move, after which Danger came up grasping her collarbone. Of course, she legitimately broke that bone at the last set of tapings. Upon sensing that Allison was in trouble, Perez pounced and slapped on a Fujiwara armbar for the submission. She refused to break the hold after the bell, though there was no reversal of the submission victory for the Ninjas. Once the referees forced Portia to break the hold, they were distracted by Matthews, which allowed Perez to do more damage to Danger with the Divorce Court. ("It doesn't just separate the shoulder from the arm, it divorces it!")
Match #3: Danyah was eaten alive by the Amazing Kong. Danyah got a bit more offense in than Lorelei Lee did, but she was still murdered. Her doom came when she made the ill-advised move of attempting to hoist Kong up in to a fireman's carry. Needless to say, that did not work, and Danyah was powerbombed for the pin. Though I obviously miss her having main event caliber matches, it probably is a good idea to cycle Kong down the card for a while and have her destroy some younger women while new faces get an opportunity to do what they can in the top bouts.
Match #4: Cat Power made Daffney tap out. This was a very quick match that saw Cat immediately target Daffney's bad knee, making her submit to the figure four leglock. This wasn't designed to do much aside from a.) giving Power a dominant win and b.) furthering the storyline that when Daffney wrestles as Daffney heels know to attack her leg, but wrestling as Shark Girl gives her an advantage because they don't recognize her and stay away from the bum wheel. The match made those points in a couple of minutes and ended. There's nothing wrong with that at all.
Match #5: Jetta and Rain defeated Ashley Lane and Neveah. Lane and Neveah upset Lacey and Rain on the last set of tapings, though Lacey was absent here, presumably for the same reason that she hasn't been on recent Ring of Honor shows. Jetta and Rain donned t-shirts which depicted Lacey as a missing person on the side of a carton of soy milk. (Do missing person notices even get put on milk anymore?) This was quality tag team action, utilizing the standard formula very well. Rain locked in the Full Nelson Mandela on one of her opponents during the heat sequence, which always gets bonus points from yours truly. Granted, I haven't seen them together as often, but every time I've seen Rain and Jetta work with one another I feel like they're an even better duo than Lacey and Rain. It looked like the young blondes from Ohio were going to score another victory, but Rain managed to avoid their finish this time around and pinned Neveah with a handfull of tights. I guess we get the rubber match between Lane, Neveah, and some combination of the Homewrecking Crew on an upcoming taping.
Match #6: Ariel faced Nikki Roxx. These two are long-time friends from the New England independent circuit and both are much-loved by SHIMMER fans, so there was plenty of mutual admiration and pro-everybody chants flying about early on. In fact, I believe one chant from the crowd was "Cheer for both! Cheer for both!" Nikki did test the waters of playing heel by getting a cheap shot off of a clothesline, but the audience didn't turn on her. As a result, she kept wrestling like she normally would have. Having been frequent opponents in the past, the two worked together very well and put together a fine mid-show match. The finish came when Ariel looked like she was going for the luchariffic bodyscissors-in-to-a-bulldog spot but turned it in to a victory roll in mid-move to score the surprise three count. I like this result a lot, because Ariel had some serious upward momentum coming out of her match with Kong on the last tapings and the battle royale, and that all could have been undone by the Del Rey beating unless she was given a decent victory on Volume 20. They did just that.
Match #7: Sara Del Rey defeated Serena Deeb. I've been saying for a while that Deeb is the most talented up and comer on the SHIMMER roster and that she was one strong performance against a main eventer away from solidifying herself as a key performer in the promotion. Well, this was exactly the strong performance she needed. This match was GREAT and a real coming out party for young Ms. Deeb. In many ways, it reminded me of the SHIMMER Volume 5 match between Nikki Roxx and the Amazing Kong, as you expected the monstrous wrestler to have her way with the smaller woman, only for the smaller woman to show some true fire and walk away from the match being perceived as every bit the contender that her opponent is.
Del Rey started by using many of the same tactics from her earlier match with Ariel, primarily focusing on Deeb's arm. However, when Death Rey managed to catch Serena in the Tree of Joey Lawrence and hit a hard kick to the knee, she changed her gameplan and began destroying the Virginian's leg. Deeb regularly fired back and looked like she was primed to pull the upset on more than one occasion, but another strike to the leg would always connect at exactly the wrong time for the OVW standout. At one point Serena got a head of steam and attempted to charge Death Rey, but Sara dodged and sent her opponent FLYING out of the ring between the ropes and to the arena floor. It was essentially a suicide dive on to a nonexistent opponent. Del Rey looked like she was content to take the count out victory, but she ultimately broke the count and headed to the outside where she seemingly killed Deeb dead with a DRAGON SCREW IN TO THE GUARD RAIL. We then got a very dramatic count with Serena reentering the squared circle at nine and nine tenths. Unfortunately, she succumbed seconds later to a series of leg submissions. I command you to watch this match when it is released. If you do so and do not enjoy it, your love of wrestling may be dead.
Match #8: Cheerleader Melissa defeated LuFisto. Just when I was getting ready to give Del Rey/Deeb match of the night honors, THIS happened. There was an audible buzz in the venue when this match was announced just prior to the beginning of the Volume 20 taping, and the two women involved did not fail in their quest to live up to the crowd's expectations. You can watch plenty of matches these days in which two (or more) wrestlers go out there and throw everything but the kitchen sink at one another. However, it's rare anymore that you get a match in which the wrestlers don't actually hit everything they can while making the crowd feel that they did. That's not to say that Melissa and LuFisto didn't go out there and have an intense match that was almost primal in its physicality. They certainly did that, with hard strikes, impressive suplexes, and even Melissa's wheelbarrow whip in to the guardrail getting busted out. However, their actions meant much more than they would in other matches, because the women were smart enough to build up to them and then increase the brutality at logical intervals, capping off the match when the insanity had reached its peak. I don't wish to sound like I'm needlessly hyping on hyperbole, but I have a feeling that when it comes out on DVD, this match will become a cornerstone in any fan's argument that women's wrestling in the United States can be just as good as the men's version. Absolutely tremendous.
Match #9: MsChif successfully defended her SHIMMER Championship against Mercedes Martinez. This was not quite as good as the prior two matches, but it was still a match worthy of its main event position. Mercedes set the tone early by no-selling one of MsChif's screams and responding with an eye gouge. From there on out, the more jovial MsChif of recent tapings was completely out the window, and these two were set to have a serious battle. After seeing Del Rey and Deeb do the classic David versus Goliath match and with Melissa and LuFisto having an all-out street fight, these two went for more of a catch-as-catch-can classic. After the opening portions of the contest, it focused heavily on the two grapplers jockeying to hit their big moves. Martinez landed a pair of big spinebusters out of some fairly impressive positions. Ultimately, though, it was once again the Desecrator that lead to MsChif getting the pin and the title retention. This was definitely the right decision, as 'Chif needed to have a strong title defense just to make it clear that her originally taking home the championship wasn't a fluke.
Overall: I hate to sound like a broken record when it comes to my reviews of these shows, but this is one wrestling card that definitely managed to deliver. I will say, in all fairness, that I think Volume 19 will be a relatively weak version of the DVD series. Nothing on it was actively bad, but, outside of Melissa vs. Mercedes, not that much had the "must see" feel of the best SHIMMER matches. However, things went in to a completely different gear when it came to Volume 20. As described above, the top three matches were all phenomenal, with that roughly sixty minutes of professional wrestling being the most exciting sixty minutes that I have ever seen live. Combine that with a fun match between Ariel and Nikki Roxx, an excellent angle and promo from Portia Perez, and Amazing Kong committing near-homicide, and Volume 20 looks like a must buy, whether you regularly watch SHIMMER or not.

I bought Zumba Kinect after I tried the 5 minute trial... but I'm scared to play the actual game, because I thought I was going to DIE after the 5 minute trial! However, I'll work up my nerve eventually.
Seemed to me, it was so much fun while I was dancing around, I hardly noticed I was working up such a sweat... seems great for calorie burning!

Oh, you won't look like an idiot if you go to class. Everyone is so fixated on the teacher they don't really notice you that much. There is a guy in my class who just has fun with it and he is really good! So I would give the class a try first. Also, if you are with the YMCA they are now teaching the Zumba Gold which is for older people and beginners with low impact moves.

Zumba is a great workout, I personally burn 600-800 calories each class. If you're not used to moderate-intense cardio or are new to working out, try to find a Zumba 101 or a Zumba Gold class to ease into it.

Thanks for all your input!! Nice to hear some success stories of inches lost! I agree with you all in that really the time went by super fast compared to doing the treadmill. I think I may sign up for more classes with the inspiration of all the successes plus it is nice to get a break from the normal gym routine. Thanks again from the newbie!! : )

Zumba works for me.....I do it to stay in line not for weight loss, but I still watch what I eat and do 90 minutes of intense Zumba....and i managed to loose a few lbs for sure...Can't complain....Plus it really helps tone your body if done right :)

agreed, zumba is a great workout. I bought the DVD set and have also been to the classes. Personally, i found the classes more vigorous and motivating than the DVDs. I think it works because for most people, it's fun to do so it's easier to stick with. It definitely gets your heart rate up and gets you moving and sweating.

Hell yes! Any aerobic exercise that makes you perspire profusely and you do for 1/2 an hour more is great for weight loss. And if you have fun doing it-it's more likely that you will keep it up.

How to Charge More as a Freelancer From a Developing Country [An Interview With Janet Brent]
How can freelancers from developing nations charge more for their services that can be on par with their counterparts from developed nations?
In the world of entrepreneurship, it's becoming more and more trendy to outsource to developing countries, since this way you can hire skilled people for a fraction of the cost. I always had mixed feelings about this: is it really okay to pay someone a slave-wage only because they are living in the Philippines or India? It seems that most entrepreneurs think that it's justifiable, therefore I was pleasantly surprised to stumble on an article by Janet, a Filpina web designer from USA, who called BS on this whole thing.
I know that many of you guys are from developing countries, therefore I decided to interview Janet, and ask her to explain her take on this outsourcing trend and share how she went from working for low paying clients to working for high paying ones.Read More

Experience is needed to avoid dealing with difficult clients, something that not many freelancers have. How would you deal with impossible clients, or con artists or scammers?
What would Homer do?
For every article about how fun it would be to be a freelance web designer or developer, there is about ten more articles saying the exact same thing.

Response to
How it was done and how it worked has some "issues".
I've read where Osama denied having any involvement.
I've read some lengthy interviews with Osama back in the day. His views and objections were quite different from what the western media portrayed them as. Intelligent, articulate, but yes, a hard liner. As I recall, (and this might be faulty) his greatest upset was America "occupation" so to speak, in Mecca.
You can ask for proof of a "conspiracy" (ie. an alternative conspiracy to the generally accepted one), but there is scant proof of the generally accepted conspiracy as well.
We can discuss things. But demands for "proof" from either side will have a predictable course. Predictable as the existence of a deity.

When will Bloomingdales Friends and Family Fall 2014 be held?
The Bloomingdales F&F sale for 2014 is coming up soon! I'm sure many of you are saving up for this big sale, but just FYI bloomies is offering a huge sale right now with 25-40% off on a selection of merchandise. There's also a great sale going on for Loyalists, where you can earn as much as 25% off. Click HERE to shop Bloomingdales.com!
Bloomingdales Friends and Family April 2014, June 2014, September 2014, and November 2014
The first Bloomingdales friends and family sale was in early April 2014, the second will be in early June 2014. The Fall F&F discount at Bloomies will begin in September 2014 and again in November 2014. Bloomie's F&F discount is usually 20% off of fashion and home items, and 10% off of electronics.
Bloomingdales is usually the first department store to offer a friends and family discount for the holiday shopping season, in the Fall.
Are there any exclusions?
Sadly, yes. Generally, Bloomingdales publishes a list of exclusions from the sale. Some brands are excluded, and product lines other than clothing might have a smaller discount.

The First Bloomingdales Friends and Family 2014 Sale expired on April 6, 2014. Promo code was FF14. The discount was a generous 20%. There were exclusions based on brand, as is usual. Wish I had a Bloomie's near me to enjoy the presale, but I'll be browsing online. I have my eye on many Spring and Summer items.
Bloomingdales Big Brown Sale will be at the end of November 2014. Last year's ran from from November 22-December 1, 2013. The Big Brown Sale offered discounts of up to 50% off regular retail for a wide variety of items, and even get an additional $25 off almost every $200 spent (max of $3,000).
November 11, 2013 – November 17, 2013! (EXPIRED): As expected, Bloomingdales is hosting a second Friends and Family sale, and this one is perfectly timed to enjoy some holiday shopping! The promo code is FANDF, as it was for the September sale.

And the emotions that are so strong and real.
Never would you think it could take anything,
Yet here you stand just withering.
Down the spiral you swiftly go
No one can tell because no one knows.
Faster and faster the visions get blurry,
Just wishing for something to keep you sturdy.
Nothing or know one can ease your doubts,
Until you decide you really want out.

Audi USA Partners with ExhibitDEAL for Trade Show Management
June 19th, 2014
We have DEALs for all your marketing needs! Audi USA returns from another successful exhibition.
We are proud and honored to regularly be chosen by Audi USA to handle their trade shows.
When Audi came to us in late 2011 to discuss production of their convention displays we had no idea it would blossom into a a strong relationship that continues today. Each season as Audi debuts their new models of luxury vehicles, they look to ExhibitDEAL to ensure that their display assets are handled with the utmost experience and care.
For over three years we have have handled the booth planning, graphical layout, high quality brand specific printing specifications, production and assembly, shipping logistics, as well as installation and dismantling at the event.
There are so many types of displays, it can be daunting to know which styles and sizes fit different needs. The Audi team had a vision of the caliber of exhibition they needed to achieve. Always welcoming a challenge, we began to strategize which back walls, banners, island light boxes, and pop up displays will be best to give Audi the presence they require.
When so many branding elements and signage have to come together, it is best to keep your eye on the final vision and focus your creative energy on bringing those pieces together. After meticulous planning our teams agreed which displays should accompany which vehicle models, both indoors and outdoors. As the event grew near, the full fledged production began. From graphic design to installation, the ExhibitDEAL team delivered on time and under budget – of course, we always give you the best DEAL.
When the event concludes, the ExhibitDEAL team carefully dismantles the various styles of display used to showcase individual products. Each component is cataloged and carefully packaged again. When the parts arrive at our warehouse they again enter inventory and are checked for any damages that may occur due to shifting in transit – ensuring that the booth system is ready to go as soon as the next Audi event is scheduled.
We hope you enjoyed this behind the scenes look at how we employ our full service trade show experience for our friends at Audi USA. We hope to be able to offer the same high quality production and care to your company, big or small, whatever your convention needs may be!
Want to discover how you too can go beyond the traditional display AND get the BEST DEAL? Schedule your complimentary consultation today at 866-577-DEAL or Email firstname.lastname@example.com to begin discussing how we can help you look your best!

We spent our last night at the resort with all our friends and got up at the crack of dawn to see them off. Excited to be back to the adventure but definitely knew there would be few nights this comfortable in the upcoming months.
After a little internet browsing we figured we should check out Cabo Pulma national park. The main purpose was to drive the highway around the east side of the Baja peninsula because it was all off-road. I highly recommends this as it is an easy ride with breathtaking beaches and viewpoints.
We rolled into Cabo Pulma and stopped at the Cabo Pulma Resort & Diveshop. Very highly recommend staying here. Maribela helped us out at the front desk and gave us a great deal on a small villa close to the beach (we were splurging and we shouldnt have due to our last couple of days in a resort .but at least they were free).
Cabo Pulma is only 40 miles or so from San Jose de Cabo so we arrived early. First order of business was to change my tires. Not that they were totally shot but I am sick of carrying around tires. Check out the cupping that was going on with the front tire (these are MT21s).

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla., June 30, 2012 – Disney's Coronado Springs Resort recently set the stage for the 83rd Annual League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) National Convention. More than 10,000 attendees came together with top leaders from government and the business community to celebrate their culture and address issues that affect Latino communities.
The importance of the local community was top of mind with convention organizers. "We chose Orlando for this year's convention because Central Florida is now home to more than half a million Latinos," said LULAC Executive Director Brent Wilkes.
Festivities kicked off on Wednesday June 27th with a citizenship naturalization ceremony that swore in 35 people as America's newest citizens.
Second Lady Dr. Jill Biden, US Attorney General Eric Holder and US Secretary of Labor Hilda Solís spoke about topics ranging from immigration reform to healthcare to civil rights.
An Expo at the event also helped thousands of Central Floridians connect with job and educational opportunities, as well as free health screenings.
The convention also featured seminars and workshops with a focus on community service, leadership and professional development and advocacy training.

Hello Joe,
Thanks for posting here on the Palcic Genforum page! Daniel Palcic and I have been collecting information on all Palcic families that we can find who emigrated from (present-day) Slovenia and Croatia to points elsewhere in the world. Some of your relatives have been very generous in providing information about your family. Your cousins Donal and John Strevens, and a friend of your Aunt Zita helped me out a lot.
Daniel and I are tracking all the immigrant families and their descendants. So far we have about 25-30 families, most of whom came to the US and Canada, but your family is unique, Alfonso having emigrated to Ireland.
I look forward to hearing from you if you want to share more information.

From the Future
Designers often look to the styles of eras past for fashion inspiration, and this year alone we've seen a resurgence of ladylike 50s dresses, mod 60s shifts, and 70s flares. But sometimes it can be even more rousing to look ahead for the next big trend. Case in point – futurism.
It's hard to say what fashion will be like in the far off future – will it be the second-skin, silver jumpsuits of science fiction, or disposable one-time-use outfits made from eco-friendly recyclable fibers? Or what about Barbarella-esque leather babydoll dresses and platform boots? Maybe we'll move into a post-clothing society, and people will once again be free to roam in next to nothing.
Designers took a more literal approach and went for slick metallics and sleek, structured silhouettes. The Armani Privé couture collection spearheaded the trend, featuring body-conscious, metallic pieces that shimmered and quivered like mercury in a thermometer. Think sharp shoulders, liquid leggings, defined shapes, and peculiar, shiny hats that obscured models' faces. Christopher Kane took an out-of-this-world approach too, for his resort collection, and used fabric printed with satellite-quality images of the cosmos for silky sheer tanks, dresses, jumpsuits, and fluid pants. More refined elements of futurism could be found at A.F. Vandevorst, where warrior-models wore stiff, structured metallic "suits of armor" and at Gianfranco Ferré, where cool monochromatic blacks and whites were the key players.
This is the year 2011, and while it may sound future-y, the world may not be quite ready for you to step out in a head-to-toe chrome ensemble just yet. So for now, focus on incorporating elements of futurism into your pre-existing wardrobe for a seamless transition from past to future.

First up, amazing gold Leather Shorts by TBA. These babies are showstoppers from the year 3000. Even if the thought of metallic leather scares you a little, the paper-bag waist and sweet a-line shape keep the look ultra-flattering and feminine. Rock these shorts with a floaty chiffon blouse in white, black, or nude, or with a basic cardigan and tank. Short shorts like these look classy with flats, or sassy with chunky, ankle-strapped platform sandals or wedges.
The Adam Metallic Mini Skirt has great texture, silvery sheen, and versatility. Dress it up to go out with a fitted top and stiletto booties, or make it wearable for work with a sharp black blazer and tights. Silver is subdued enough to be a neutral, so work it with rich brights like raspberry, chartreuse, and cobalt.
Nighttime is the right time for the Zeus Dress from Aqua; its deep, plunging V-back, structured shoulder pads, and front leather panel make it the sexiest frock for future- girls. We also love the industrial zipper that runs all along the front. Style it up with space-age, sparkly ankle boots and wire-thin chrome bangle bracelets, or go vampy in black pumps and wrap-around leather and chain bracelets.
Make any look instantly future-friendly with a fierce pair of Burberry Shield Sunglasses, which look like they just fell off the face-shield of an intergalactic astronaut's space helmet. Ironically, this pair is actually vintage – which just further proves our point that when it come to fashion, what goes around comes around.

Hermesianax, also called Hermesianax of Colophon (flourished 300–250 bc), Greek elegiac poet from Colophon in Ionia, one of the first of the erudite and sophisticated exponents of Alexandrian poetry. His chief work was an elegiac poem in three books, dedicated to and named for his mistress Leontion. Some 98 lines of the poem were preserved by Athenaeus. The poem enumerates with alternating force and tenderness the power of love for both mythological and historical figures. Homer, Pythagoras, and Socrates are among those whose (mostly fictitious) love affairs are cited.

Thomas Davis tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee for the second time in the past seven months, but the Carolina Panthers aren't giving up hope that the linebacker could return sometime this coming season, a source with knowledge of the situation told NFL Network insider Jason La Canfora.
The Panthers revealed the extent of Davis' injury Wednesday, one day after his knee buckled during a non-contact drill in a voluntary workout.
Davis had been making a remarkably speedy recovery after he first injured the ACL during a Nov. 8 game at New Orleans. He was clocked last month running the 40-yard dash in 4.47 seconds, making the Panthers believe he could return to the form that allowed him to collect 71 tackles, 1.5 sacks and two interceptions in seven games before he was hurt last season.
"Thomas is an explosive player," Panthers general manager Marty Hurney said. "He's a playmaker, a leader, great in our locker room, and he's someone everybody respects. You always hate to lose somebody like that. You feel so bad for him because he really has worked so hard."
Davis wasn't wearing a knee brace Tuesday when he fell to the turf while backpedaling, similar to how he was injured the first time while dropping into pass coverage. He immediately clutched his right knee before walking off the field.
An MRI Tuesday afternoon showed the tear, but Davis and his agent, Todd France, wanted to receive a second opinion from renowned surgeon James Andrews. The doctor confirmed the injury Wednesday.
"If you know the kind of person and you know how hard he's been working to get back -- and basically almost at the finish line -- to have this happen is just so disappointing," France said of Davis. "The only thing I can say is if there is one person that can rehab again and do the whole thing over, he's the one who has the right attitude and the work ethic to do it."
There were immediate questions if Davis returned from the first knee injury too soon, but Hurney and France insisted that wasn't the case.
"Obviously, questions like that are asked when something like this happens, but it was the normal rehab procedure we've done with other people," Hurney said. "Even Thomas said he had felt very good about how the knee had felt."
NFL Shop
France indicated that Davis will undergo surgery either this weekend or sometime next week. It hasn't been determined if Andrews or the Panthers' team doctor will perform the procedure.
France said he was assured by Andrews that Davis can return to football. The injuries occurring so close together versus a couple of years apart prevents arthritis and other scar tissue concerns.
"He said there's no big picture issue, which is a great thing to hear," France said of Andrews.
That's significant because Davis, 27, will be an unrestricted free agent next spring after the Panthers offered him just a one-year, $3.268 million tender as a restricted free agent this offseason. Davis signed the tender shortly after being injured Tuesday.
"He'll surely be 100 percent come free agency and all that," France said. "I don't think that's going to be an issue. The long-term deal will work itself out."
The Panthers have the option of placing Davis on the physically-unable-to-perform list once he fails his training-camp physical. That would allow the team to activate Davis later in the season.
But Davis' injury leaves a void at one of the most important positions in defensive coordinator Ron Meeks' Cover-2 system. It calls for a speedy, athletic player to collect a big chunk of the tackles -- a position in which Davis thrived until he was hurt last season.
One option the Panthers haven't ruled out is moving Pro Bowl middle linebacker Jon Beason to Davis' spot. Jamar Williams, acquired from the Chicago Bears in the Chris Harris trade in April, James Anderson and Dan Connor are other possibilities.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

The Georgia Democratic Party has launched a new Web site that it says details "cases of corruption, graft and backroom dealings from influential Georgia Republicans."
The site, www.WhoTheyRepresent.com, targets U.S. Rep. Nathan Deal (R-Ga.), state Insurance Commissioner John Oxendine, former state Sen. Eric Johnson (R-Savannah) and U.S. Sens. Johnny Isakson and Saxby Chambliss (both R-Ga.) Deal, Oxendine and Johnson are running for the GOP's 2010 nomination for governor. Isakson is up for re-election next year.
"We felt like there was so much corruption out there, the people of Georgia might need a guide to keep things straight," Democratic Party director Matt Weyandt said in a statement. "It's important Georgia voters know who their Republican politicians are taking their marching orders from."
The site details allegations or news stories about the five Republicans. The information is culled from articles in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and other publications, as well as public records.
Efforts to reach state Republican officials for a response were not immediately successful.
Update 4:56 p.m.: Oxendine's campaign manager, Tim Echols, accused Democrats of hypocrisy since former Gov. Roy Barnes, who is seeking another term in 2010, railed against an Oxendine video released last week that depicted Barnes as a rat.

We feel strongly that you should add Governor Perdue, and many additional legislators to your list. They have chosen to disregard countless emails to the Governor's Office regarding the fact that the Board of Regents has NO accountability to anyone by, at the very least, introducing legislation to bring back the BOR accountability to someone other than themselves. Seth Harp, Chairman of the Senate Higher Education Committee, will not address major unethical practices by the BOR because of the "good 'ole boy" network. View full story at:

Hello FBI. Hello U.S. Attorney. Hello GBI. Hello Attorney General. Pay for play is standard operating procedure here among the good ol' boys of Georgia. But you don't seem to have noticed!
Maybe that is why our state is near the top of every list of shortcomings. Our pols are too busy lining their pockets to notice or care that GA is sinking in the muck.

I noticed that all the serious Republicans Governor candidates are on the list. You can't help but notice that Karen Handel isn't named on the list. Even the Democrats know that Handel is not a serious candidate and will never be a threat to them.

OMG…..If it was not racist, I would say: "This is the pot calling the kettle black!!!!" How long were the Dems. in control of Ga.?? That is how long their corruption was covered up!

Anyone but Attorney General Thurbert Baker. He is such a hypocrite and employees people who violate the law, while enforcing the law for all others!

Nathan Deal – Do white men from the south always use those words in polite conversations? When it comes to race relations, he is a uniter not a divider, right? But maybe he thinks he only represents the white populous and the rest be damned.
The meal Deal should join forces with Orly taitz, he is a closeted Birther. Oh wait what this;
Judge Land and now judge Carter, smack down the crazies (case dismissed), poor little Birthers.
Not even "Fake News" Bill O'Reilly believes the crazies, how funny.
To all the birthers in La, La Land, it is on you to prove to all of us that your assertion is true (TOUGH WHEN YOU KEEP LOSING CASES), if there are people who were there and support your position then show us the video (everyone has a price), either put up or frankly shut-up.
In my opinion the Republican Party has been taken over the most extreme religious right (people who love to push their beliefs on others while trying to take away the rights of those they just hate) and that is who they need to extract from their party if they real want to win. Good Luck, because as they said in WACO, "We Ain't Coming Out".
I heard that she now wants to investigate the "Republican 2009 Summer of Love" list: Assemblyman, Michael D. Duvall (CA), Senator John Ensign (NV), Senator Paul Stanley (TN), Governor Mark Stanford (SC), Board of Ed Chair, and Kristin Maguire AKA Bridget Keeney (SC).
I wonder if she is a mail order bride, just like her law degree? She is perfect reporter material for "Fake News", where unfounded rumors and innuendo reign supreme , unlike a our US courts of law, where you need to present documented facts, not half baked lies (prepare for more failures).
A lawyer, dentist, realtor and black belt, WOW I must say a JACK of all trades master of none.

firstname.lastname@example.com – if you think Orly Taitz is "interesting", go look at the website of Cris Erickson, who posted above you a few spaces. She's running for both Senator AND Governor of Vermont next year, as an independent.
And, she's suing a whole bunch of people for a whole bunch of different things. Including "celebrity actor Patrick Swayze" who she seems to be accusing of giving her late husband cancer. The court suit seems to have been thrown out of court because everybody involved was "corrupt". There seems to be a lot of other court cases she's involved in.
ALSO, she is offering a way for "foreign investors" to gain US citizenship by investing in some company she's set up in Vermont. Seems somewhat illegal, but then what isn't these days?
She's kinda next in line to Orly Taitz in wanting to make a big deal out of Obama's "birth certificate", as she writes above. Where do these people come from?

She could be called an accidental entrepreneur. Or maybe an inadvertent artist. When long-time bird lover Tami Coverdale began creating handmade flowers from the molted feathers of rare and exotic fowl, she hardly expected she was hatching a new, home-based business.
"I started about five years ago," Coverdale said. "I have birds, and I worked in a bird store. Birds molt. They shed their feathers, and they were just too pretty to throw away."

R.A. Making Students Feel Welcome on Campus
Joy Moore found a warm welcome when she arrived as a freshman in UC Merced'sinaugural class in 2005, and not just on campus.
"Some people overheard my friends and me talking about UC Merced when we were downtown one day," she said. "We ended up sitting down and having a 30-minute conversation with them."
This year, she extends the same welcome to other students as a resident assistant in Valley Terraces housing. Moore, a biological sciencesmajor from Corona, takes her turn making rounds to ensure safety, and works with other resident assistants to develop activities with specific goals.
"We want to develop unity in the housingcommunity, connect our residents with the town of Merced, teach them the skills they need for adult living and help them form ties with the faculty," she said.
For example, they're planning a fiesta with a live band for March 17. They've also had Valentine card-making activities, CPR certification, a bowling night and a "Diversity Ice Cream Social." Moore goes beyond the call of duty by remembering birthdays and holidays for the 22 residents in her hall. She likes it enough that she applied to do the job for another year, she said.
She also manages to balance other activities, like helping start a UC Merced target-shooting club, involvement with an off-campus church group, challenging classes like chemistry and calculus and volunteering with the UC Merced Police Department Mentoring Program.
"I got to wear the bobcat suit at one mentoring program event - that was really fun," she said. "And we have cleanup day coming up on March 17, where we will clean and beautify an area in South Merced. I'm super excited. I should be able to fit that in before we start decorating for the fiesta."
Her family has visited campus and seen first-hand how she is thriving here. In fact, it was her father who planted the idea of UC Merced in her head. An employee at the UC Irvine Central Plant, he'd heard about Merced's operational innovations. Moore said the new campus small size and newness attracted her.
"My dad was so excited for me to attend UC Merced," she said.

Amazing. No, she's one of the finest actresses I've ever worked with. I couldn't be happier. Michelle is one of the reasons that I can get up at 3 a.m. and be in the mud on set at 5 a.m. in Belfast in the dark and still smiling because I get a scene with Michelle. We're very close off set anyway. We're very good friends. And I think we care greatly about the show and we've managed to make a really good dialogue, I think. And what's lovely is I can get on set with Michelle and we can look each other in the eye and instantly get into a dialogue that's detailed and deep and subtle and challenging. And we trust each other implicitly as actors and that makes for such a—I'm like overwhelmed at how lucky I feel that I get to have that relationship with an actress, especially an actress that I have such significant work to do with this season. She's outstanding and makes like every day a pleasure working with her, especially in scenes that I consider the toughest scenes of the show for me.

Four Blockbuster stores in Iowa will be closing sometime this spring, the company announced Monday.
The four remaining Blockbuster stores in Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, Davenport and Muscatine will close in April, ending a more than 20-year presence in the state. However, the store in Ankeny will remain open.
The decision follows an announcement last month from Dish Network Corp. that they would be closing about 300 remaining Blockbuster stores across the country, resulting in 3,000 layoffs.
Dish Network Corp. bought the video rental company in 2011 after Blockbuster announced bankruptcy.
The company has faced stiff competition from DVD rental kiosks, mail order rentals and video streaming services such as Netflix.
