Bellatrix 6 roster revealed, many new additions
It's been a pretty Euro-centric sort of week here at Ringbelles, so we may as well continue in that ethos…
The roster for the Bellatrix 6 iPPV on June 23 has been revealed, with a lot of new names featuring in the lineup. Nine European nations are represented on the show, with women from England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Norway, Finland, France, Italy, Germany and Portgual being represented. Representing England are regulars Saraya Knight, rising star Penelope, RQW European Women's Champion Liberty, rookie Chanel, Destiny, Skarlett, Erin Angel and Violet O'Hara. Other roster members returning are Italian Queen Maya, Northern Ireland's Rhia O'Reilly and Norway's Miss Mina, as well as Finn Aurora Flame and France's X-Cute Sweet, who have both been absent since Bellatrix 2 11 months ago.
There is also an influx of Scottish talent heading to Norwich. Nikki Storm, Carmel Jacob, Bete Noire and Kay Lee Ray all make their debuts, while Viper makes her first appearance in the promotion since teaming with Destiny at WAWW The Return in November 2011. Rounding off the roster are Germany's Alpha Female and Portugal's Perfect Athlete Shanna making their first Bellatrix appearances, making it a roster of 20 women participating. (more…)
Rhia O'Reilly to challenge for Pro Wrestling: EVE title
It's been a big week for Rhia O'Reilly. On Saturday, she enjoyed her best match of the year so far in a losing effort to eventual Fierce Females Scottish Champion Kay Lee Ray as part of the excellent Luke… Who's Yer Da? card. On Monday, it was announced that she would defend her British Championship against Erin Angel at Bellatrix 6 on June 23. However, before she gets to that contest, she takes part in her highest stakes match to date.
On the same day that she is celebrating the third anniversary of her official debut at Pro Wrestling: EVE's first show – where she lost to Sara-Marie Taylor, but rebounded later on, teaming with Becky James to beat April Davids & Jenny Sjodin and Carmel Jacob & Taylor in a 3-way – it was announced that she would challenge Nikki Storm for the promotion's championship at the Queen of the Ring show on May 25 in Nottingham, England.

Ringbelles Roundup (7 May 2013) – the European scene, Mickie James & more
I'm still buzzing after Insane Championship Wrestling's Fierce Females show on Saturday, which culminated with Kay Lee Ray winning her first ever championship when she won the tournament to become the inaugural Scottish titleholder. Beating Rhia O'Reilly and Viper in two very different contests, she proved that she is versatile and dependable as a main event talent. However, it was more than just KLR who impressed, with her defeated opponents also impressing, along with Carmel Jacob, Bete Noire, Erin Angel and Blue Nikita putting together great outings, and North American talent like Leah Von Dutch and Crazy Mary Dobson also entertaining. In fact, those two elements got me thinking…
First off, women's wrestling fans are doing themselves a disservice by ignoring Europe. While places like America, Canada, Japan and Mexico are places which get a lot of attention, there are now three major all-women's indie promotions to speak of in the UK alone, and plenty of skilled women from all over the continent looking to make their mark, and they can make it in the likes of Fierce Females, Pro Wrestling: EVE and Bellatrix because of their differing standpoints.

Pro Wrestling: EVE – Special Edition III results (now updated with photos and thoughts)
Pro Wrestling: EVE says goodbye to its original home of the Delphi Centre in Sudbury, England today with Special Edition III, a card shrouded in mystery.
With the main advertised draws for the show being the appearances of Tommy Dreamer and the Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase, the top female attraction has been the UK debut of Leah Von Dutch, who has made a lot of waves in her short time in wrestling, and is the guest of the latest edition of the Women Of Wrestling Podcast, which you can download here. What we do know is that apart from Von Dutch, the rest of the roster for the show consists of Kay Lee Ray, Erin Angel, Carmel Jacob, Sara-Marie Taylor, Shanna, Rhia O'Reilly, Amazon Ayesha Ray, Bete Noire, Viper, and Kasey & Leah Owens, with the first match revealed being Ray v Viper in singles action, and the promotion's Twitter has also made reference to Shanna and Von Dutch being involved in a tag team match.
EVE will also be looking to get things back on track after having to cancel its Special Edition II show in February following a chaotic No Man's Land 2 show earlier in the month where Taylor won the chance to challenge for the EVE Championship, which was recaptured by Nikki Storm from Emi Sakura on the same show – however Storm is not on this card, as she is competing in Japan at the moment.
In addition, the promotion has also said that it is "trying something new out and redeveloping ourselves in terms of format, structure etc while at the same time going back to our original foundation that people appreciated so much", which also seemingly involves blurring the face/heel line a little. We'll see what comes of it during the show – the results of which you can see after the jump…
Ringbelles Roundup (16 April 2013) – Farewell Allison Danger, SHIMMER tapings, LuFisto & more
Allison Danger isn't going to Terry Funk her retirement. After her match at SHIMMER volume 57 on Sunday, she took the microphone to explain the reason why she is quitting the ring and won't be coming back.
In January, the 36-year old suffered a minor stroke, after which doctors performed some tests and found out that she had lesions on her brain. She explained that they were not life-threatening, but did mean that she would have to stop wrestling for good. While she was thinking of stepping away from the ring, the diagnosis sealed her fate. However, the 13-year veteran is not going to be leaving the business completely, as she will shift her attentions to behind the curtain, assuming a backstage role in SHIMMER to help develop new talent.
The announcement came at the end of a match which raked up history, exposed old wounds and saw someone who she considered a friend take advantage of an old injury which she actually caused. Back on volume 17 in 2008, Danger suffered a broken collarbone at the hands of an Air Raid Crash from Cheerleader Melissa which put her out of action for three months. During her match alongside Regeneration X partner Leva Bates against Melissa and Ayako Hamada, Danger backed off from Melissa's attack saying that her clavicle was hurting – to which Melissa responded that Danger was milking the moment for attention and sympathy, helping to make sure fans got behind Danger and didn't have their loyalties separated. However, as the contest developed, Melissa's aggression went into overdrive, refusing to tag her partner in and setting out to injure Danger on her way out. (more…)
Nikki Storm to Japan
In the last six months, Nikki Storm's profile has skyrocketed. Last November, the woman who describes herself as the "world's finest wrestler" captured the Pro Wrestling: EVE Championship at the promotion's Wrestle Fever show – though lost it to Emi Sakura mere minutes later. However, she rebounded at No Man's Land 2 in February to recapture the title and become the promotion's first two-time champion.
In between those two events, Storm also participated in the TNA Gut Check in Nottingham, and is also taking part in the Gut Check Challenge which kicked off today.
All of her hard work has certainly been noticed and acknowledged, as the official announcement was made today by EVE that the 23-year old will venture out to Japan to wrestle for JWP – which means that the Glaswegian may celebrate her 24th birthday out there.
The EVE/JWP relationship has blossomed over the last half-year, with the JWP Openweight Championship being defended at Wrestle Fever with Sakura retaining by beating Kay Lee Ray – which led to Ray enjoying her own trip to Japan – and also saw Kaori Yoneyama also make her UK debut at the same show. (more…)
Ringbelles Roundup (2 April 2013) – Femmes Fatales XI, SHIMMER Volume 53, WrestleMania XXIX & more
Last week, I repeated my previous assertion that two championships would change hands at NCW Femmes Fatales XI in Montreal, Quebec, Canada on Saturday. Lo and behold, that's what happened – with the Bellatrix World Championship and the Femmes Fatales International Titles being won by Courtney Rush and Mercedes Martinez respectively.
Martinez's victory over Kalamity is only part of her story in the show. She continued her cross-promotion feud with LuFisto following her defeat to the Super Hardcore Anime at Women Superstars Uncensored's An Ultraviolent Affair in February by attacking her foe during LuFisto's challenge for the SHIMMER title against Saraya Knight. The steel chair attack to LuFisto's head was enough for Knight to lock in the Bridal Rocking Horse for the stoppage and retain the belt, meaning that no matter what happened with Mercedes' challenge to Kalamity, the Martinez/LuFisto programme would continue.
As it turns out, the programme will likely feature the International Championship, as the Latina Sensation used a Fisherman Buster onto a steel chair to gain the pinfall and bring The Oncoming Storm's 17-month reign to an end. (more…)
Ringbelles Roundup (19 February 2013) – WSU/BLOW clash, Fierce Females and more
Earlier this month, there was a clash of shows, with no more than 70 minutes drive between the two. In Voorhees, NJ, you had a double-header featuring Women Superstars Uncensored in the afternoon followed by a Combat Zone Wrestling card. Meanwhile, 65 miles away in Metuchen, NJ, there was a Bombshell Ladies Of Wrestling event followed by a show from its parent company Pro Wrestling Syndicate. Critically, the WSU show was better than the (frankly poor) BLOW event, though the latter boasted the larger audience number. For all that anybody knows, it could have been more, but there were hundreds of fans down the I-95 watching another couple of promotions running at approximately the same time. It meant that fans had to choose which show they wanted to see, and was a clash which felt unfortunate. It was very unlikely to happen again.
Or was it…? (more…)
Pro Wrestling: EVE War Games lineup completed
In her interview with HONOUR Magazine, Alpha Female insisted that she was happy to go it alone in the War Games match at Pro Wrestling: EVE – Special Edition II on February 23 against Champion Nikki Storm, Shanna, Amazon Ayesha Ray and Rhia O'Reilly. She told HONOUR that she would "rather fight alone than alongside three people who don't understand what going to war involves".
However, it seems that some like-minded souls have been found, as it has been revealed today that it won't come to that, as the promotion has revealed that three wrestlers have stepped up to stand by her side. Joining Alpha will be April Davids and the She-X tandem of Viper and Bete Noire. There are a lot of intertwined backstories spanning all the way back to last November's Wrestle Fever show, and continued at No Man's Land 2 earlier this month. (more…)
Ringbelles Roundup (5 February 2013) – Shanna v Emi Sakura, Rachel Summerlyn and more
On Sunday, I sat among 400 people in a hall in a small city in the west of England. The only reason why I had decided to go – well, apart from it being a 15 minute walk from my front door – was that it featured a women's match that was pretty hyped up about. Unfortunately, the billed contest between Kay Lee Ray and Shanna had to be scrapped because of KLR suffering a broken toe two days previous, then wrestling for about 40 minutes on it the previous day – though as it turns out, her metatarsal had been broken for about a month, which was compounded by the broken toe. As a result, a suitable replacement was brought in to replace Ray, and it would more than compensate.
The fans at Alternative Wrestling World in Wolverhampton had no idea who Emi Sakura was. To them, she was a Japanese woman who wears a lot of fabric, doesn't show much skin and visually, didn't look like much to write home about. Around me, I heard some borderline racist jokes about the "Chinese" woman in the ring and some unfunny gags about ordering Chinese cuisine in a mocking Far Asian accent. Her opponent also got the heckles, with a guy yelling "get your tits out" to Portugal's Perfect Athlete – as if that line has EVER worked. Needless to say, we were dealing with an audience with spectacularly low expectations for the contest, and more than their fair share of xenophobia and ignorance. I'm stunned that I didn't see anyone get up to go to the bar or toilets. They would have regretted it if they had, as little did they know, but they were going to be treated to a showcase featuring one of Europe's best against one of the best in the world… (more…)
Pro Wrestling: EVE – No Man's Land 2 results – now updated with thoughts, photos & Nikki Storm interview
Pro Wrestling: EVE returns today for its first show since its Wrestle Fever iPPV with title controversies to be settled, and the build towards introducing a new championship.
Heading the card is Emi Sakura defending the EVE title against former champ Nikki Storm, who won and lost the belt on the iPPV last November, defeating Alpha Female before losing an impromptu defence to Sakura. The Gatoh Move founder was meant to defend the belt against Carmel Jacob yesterday, but due to a schedule change in her flight, she didn't make it to the Preston City Wrestling card in time. Instead, Jacob – who presumably will get a title shot in the future instead – defeated Kay Lee Ray, who limped away from the match with a broken toe.
Ray was meant to face Blue Nikita, but that match was scrapped after Nikita suffered head and neck trauma in a car accident earlier this week. As a result, she has been slotted into the match between Alpha and Shanna to make it a 3-way.
Also on the card are three quarter final matches in the EVE Tag Team Championship tournament, with The Lovely Peppers (Kirsty Love & Pollyanna Peppers) facing Kasey & Leah Owens, Ama-Reilly (Amazon Ayesha Ray & Rhia O'Reilly) against She-X (Bete Noire & Viper), and the Glamour Gym (Carmel Jacob & Sara-Marie Taylor) meeting April Davids and a mystery partner. The other contest will be the promotion's second Three Minute Warning match featuring 15 wrestlers in a mix of a Gauntlet Match and a Royal Rumble.
Lee Burton is at the show in Preston, England, and will be updating the results as they happen, so click after the jump and keep hitting refresh for updates. (more…)
Ringbelles Roundup (29 January 2013) – Trish Stratus, National Pro Wrestling Day, Pro Wrestling: EVE & more
It was announced during last night's episode of Monday Night Raw that Trish Stratus would be inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame this April as part of the WrestleMania XXIX weekend. As expected, the wave of congratulations came from wrestlers past and present like Lita, Mickie James, Beth Phoenix, Layla, Gail Kim and more, as well as personalities both inside and outside of the business like Jim Ross, Lilian Garcia and Snooki. Indeed, there are a lot of supporters of the Torontarian, and she was quick to react to the announcement:
I still can't believe it. I'm just so honored to be taking my place alongside WWE's greatest, as a wrestling fan – I'm kind of blown away! It's simply amazing.
The 37-year old joins the Fabulous Moolah, Mae Young, Sensational Sherri, Sunny and Wendi Richter in the Hall, and is the most modern Diva to be inducted, though this provided a sticking point for some who felt that while she was worthy of going in, it was ahead of others who they felt should go in first – Leilani Kai, Bull Nakano and Madusa were names which cropped up, as well as Lita, whom Stratus' career ran parallel with for damn near the entirety of their runs.
Now, while I'm not the biggest Stratus fan in the world, I'm fair – and without a doubt, Trish deserves to be in that Hall of Fame, and as far as the criteria of this particular one is concerned, is more worthy than the others. If we were discussing the Wrestling Observer Hall of Fame or the Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame in Amsterdam, NY, then Stratus would get nowhere near the ballots, but for WWE's version, all you have you do is get the green light from one Vince McMahon – and when it comes to that element, Stratus was always inevitable, as she was a model WWE employee.

TNA live: Blossoms win, plus Gut Check news
It says something very positive when two people who aren't officially a part of the TNA roster elicit as much of a reaction as anybody else on a TNA card, because that's exactly what Hannah and Holly Blossom did last night.
The twins were the third match on what was a great card in Nottingham, England, beating Knockouts Champion Tara and PWI Female 50 winner Gail Kim, with Velvet Sky as the special ref – inserted into the role possibly due to Miss Tessmacher (along with ring announcer Christy Hemme) coming down with the flu, causing them to miss this date as well as the Glasgow, Scotland card the previous night. It makes you wonder what match we would have had if Tessmacher was well, as with four babyfaces and two heels, there would have been a discrepancy. I can only assume we would have got a three way tag team match, with Sky and Tessmacher teaming up…
Even before the match began, there was tension among the heel team, with Tara wanting the play the queen bee, pushing Kim aside so she could do her bending-over-the-ropes pose before the match, and said friction would be important as the contest reached its conclusion. As the the match, it was your regular tag team fare with Holly taking a beating from both of her opponents, with them both looking to one-up each other to the point where a missed dive by Gail led to the hot tag and Hannah cleaning house. However, her opponents' experience saw Kim hit her Eat Defeat finisher for what would have been the win, had Tara not broken up the pinball, claiming that she should be the one to get the victory with the Widow's Peak in what was a fun tag team match. (more…)
Ringbelles Roundup (15 January 2013) – Kaitlyn, Eve Torres, Women Of Wrestling and more
So Kaitlyn is finally the WWE Divas Champion. A week shy of five months after (accidentally) winning a battle royal to challenge for the title at Night Of Champions – a shot which never happened after she was written out so Eve Torres could vie for the belt like was originally planned – the NXT Season 3 winner reached the top of the pile, defeating Torres on the 20th anniversary episode of Raw. We'll get to the new champ in a moment – but firstly, let's discuss the noise which preceded the match…
Yesterday, PWInsider reported that last night would be Eve's final match with WWE before leaving the company, and it would be likely that she would be dropping the belt to Kaitlyn, who she has been feuding with since mid-September. As it turns out, that is exactly what happened, though her title loss came a bit earlier than others were expecting. According to the most recent Wrestling Observer Radio, Torres handed in her notice a month ago with the agreement that she would stay on to build up the title feud with Kaitlyn and then drop the belt to her, with the internal expectation being that she would lose the title at the Royal Rumble in two weeks, after a series of matches between the two when Eve would use underhanded tactics to retain the title. Instead, the decision was made for the switch to take place on the milestone Raw – which makes more sense, as it means more viewers would see the change and Kaitlyn's moment of glory would take place in her home town of Houston, TX. It was a smart move, as the partisan crowd was hotter for the match than it would have likely been compared to the audience at the Rumble in Phoenix, AZ. Besides, fans have been conditioned to a certain extent to not be that bothered about the Divas, so it was unlikely that the match would have generated a massive amount of pay-per-view buys. (more…)
Ringbelles Roundup (1 January 2013) – holding wrestlers back, Ribbonmania, news and more
Former WWE Women's and Divas Champion Michelle McCool must have talked to her official fansite MichelleMcCool.net for about a kabillion years for it to produce as many different releases about things she has said about her time in WWE. There are masses of quotes about Beth Phoenix, Maria Kanellis, Layla, Sharmell Huffman, Vickie Guerrero, Tara, Natalya, Torrie Wilson, Mickie James and more. Seriously, the interview must have gone on for about three hours to sufficiently cover all these topics. Quite why she has decided to do this now after spending more than 18 months out of the wrestling spotlight is a discussion in itself, as it is doubtful that she is doing to come back, and she has positive things to say about everyone, which doesn't lead to that many juicy tidbits. However, it is her comments about her experiences with Melina which we found the most interesting.
The 32-year old discussed how they collectively got in trouble following their contest at Night Of Champions 2009, where McCool successfully defended the Women's Championship, with one particular move on the outside of the ring causing the problem:
It was that day – I was like: "could you not tell anybody, but do you think we could do a DDT on the barricade?" And [Melina] was like: "Ohhhh! Yeah!!!" — Not even thinking twice about it. We kind of hid it all day, even though we did ask our agent for approval, I think it was Fit — which is no secret that he was always fighting for the girls. We just made sure that we can stand up and get our balance, but we never actually did the bump. She was the one who was going to take the huge bump, and there was no doubt, no hesitation, that she would make it look ridiculous — and it did! [During the match] She finally takes the bump, it looks sick [pictured above], pops off — up to that point, that was the best match I've ever had. We had the pay-per-view, we had time, I was really proud of that match. (more…)
Lee's 2012 highlights
"The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain."
Dolly Parton said that – wise woman.
The reason I started out this piece about my favourite memories from 2012 with that quote is because to truly appreciate the moments you most enjoyed, you need something negative to compare it to – and for me, that moment was back in mid-March when I was sat at home in the early hours of the morning updating the results of the SHIMMER volumes 45-48 tapings for Ringbelles.
I was at home because the inevitable happened – after eight trips to the Chicago area in four years, the coffers had run dry and I couldn't afford to go. While Stew was at the Berwyn Eagles Club watching everything unfold, I was remotely keeping up with the festivities, feeling more and more disappointed that I wasn't there. After his return, Stew let me know about the epic encounter that was Ayumi Kurihara and Ayako Hamada against Ray and Leon which saw the crowd lose their collective shit, as well as the whole Queens of Winning storyline play out, culminating in Courtney Rush and Sara Del Rey winning the SHIMMER Tag Team Titles. However, the ultimate low point for me would have been the ultimate high point if I was there, and that was Saraya Knight winning the SHIMMER Championship. (more…)
Flashback 2012: The Year in Podcasts
We love our podcasts here at Ringbelles. In fact, the entire site you're looking at right now was initially founded as a new home for our flagship "Women of Wrestling Podcast", and everything that has been built around it (from the regular website content to you, our ever expanding audience) has been constructed around the basic belief that our podcast is our core business. When we launched our first WOW Podcast over three years ago, we were of the opinion that nobody else was giving the women of the wrestling business a soapbox to tell their stories. Now, standing on the brink of our 50th edition, we can look back at the seventeen podcasts we've produced in 2012 (and the addition of three "Rush Hour" Podcasts), and be content that we're delivering on our promise with quality interviews of the women in the business.
We have new listeners join us all the time, so for their benefit (as well as a nostalgic kick for our regulars), it's time to look back at our shows in 2012, and maybe pick out a few shows you either get to listen to for the first time (or again). (more…)
Ringbelles Roundup (13 November 2012) – EVE's iPPV, WAWW free show, Amazing Kong & more
In a move that nobody anticipated, Emi Sakura left Pro Wrestling: EVE's second iPPV as the promotion's Champion, after successfully defending her JWP Openweight Title earlier in the night, then challenging new EVE titleholder Nikki Storm in an impromptu match which saw the founder of Gatoh Move hit a quick 450 splash for the pin.
Now, I get the reasoning for putting the belt on Sakura. On an immediate level, it offers a happy ending for the show, and the visual of the JWP and EVE titles together is pretty striking. Longer term, it means that the belt is now associated with the oldest active women's title in Japan, and considering how good Sakura is at garnering publicity, there is a lot of opportunity for joshi fans to find out about Pro Wrestling: EVE because people will inevitably ask about this other belt that she's holding. In turn, it could lead to more international recognition and possibly more DVD sales and iPPV buys from Japan in the future.
However, the circumstances in which she won the title seems to be a big sticking point among some fans who both attended the show and watched online. (more…)
Pro Wrestling: EVE – Wrestle Fever results (now updated with thoughts, photos and an interview with Angelina Love)
It has been 19 months since their previous encounter, and tonight, the pair meet again. Pro Wrestling: EVE Champion Alpha Female defends the title against number one contender Nikki Storm, with Storm possessing a psychological advantage in that the only defeat on Alpha's record in the whole of EVE history was by her hands. It's the main event of Wrestle Fever – EVE's second foray into iPPV, and you can watch it by ordering it here.
On what is a bumper card of action, JWP Openweight Champion Emi Sakura puts the title on the line against Kay Lee Ray in the first defence of the belt in the UK, while Sakura's running buddy in Gatoh Move Kaori Yoneyama teams up with April Davids against Hannah and Holly Blossom, with the winners meeting the victors in another tag match involving Kasey & Leah Owens against Amazon Ayesha Ray & Rhia O'Reilly and a mystery team in a mini tag team tournament.
The other high-profile encounter sees former TNA Knockouts Champion Angelina Love take on the Glamour Gym's Carmel Jacob – elsewhere, Kirsty Love faces Blue Nikita, Janey Britannico steps into the ring against Shanna, and Erin Angel competes against Scottish newcomer Fiona Fraser.
While you're keeping up with the results, you can have a read of Nikki's most recent blog where she discusses Wrestle Fever and our chat with her as part of a recent Women Of Wrestling Podcast, and you can click the jump to see the results as they happen. (more…)
ICW: Fierce Females results – now with thoughts, photos and an interview with Kay Lee Ray
Britain's third all-female wrestling promotion debuts today, with promises of it offering a different sort of product to the likes of the World Association of Women's Wrestling and Pro Wrestling: EVE. Insane Championship Wrestling: Fierce Females is hyping an evening of hard-hitting wrestling action, coupled with burlesque dancers (which explains the poster's similarities to the one for the film Burlesque) and a more edgy atmosphere.
Emanating from The Arches in Glasgow, Scotland, the main event of the debut show is a Last Woman Standing match between longtime rivals Kay Lee Ray and Carmel Jacob. The pair also managed to gain some pretty good exposure for the show this week when they were part of a two-page spread in The Scottish Sun newspaper. Other matches on the card include England's Lisa Fury (replacing an injured Jenny Sjodin) and April Davids against twins Kasey and Leah Owens from Northern Ireland, Miss Nicola Storm facing the "Technical Supremo" Fiona Fraser, and the "Fighting Irish" Rhia O'Reilly taking on England's Holly Rocamora.
Ringbelles is on hand to provide live results, and we're looking to deliver photos and interviews after the show. Click after the jump and keep hitting refresh to see the outcomes as they happen – in the meantime, have a listen to Storm's Women Of Wrestling Podcast where she discusses Fierce Females, EVE, Glasgow slang and more.

WOW Podcast 45 with Nikki Storm
All female wrestling shows are popping up all over the place, and with Scotland about to enter that game with ICW: Fierce Females on September 30th, what better time to welcome Scotland's "Dynamite Queen" Nikki Storm to the show? She's got a lot to talk about, including her ICW persona of Ms. Nicola Storm and an overview of the diverse Scottish scene going into Fierce Females. Did you know Nikki Storm used to cheerlead? In Glasgow, no less. She'll tell you about that, and how she went from dancer to wrestler… to her early appearances in the over 18s Triple X Wrestling in Coventry, and how influential Jetta and Saraya Knight were in guiding her early years in the ring. We take a chance to go through the spotlighted matches she's had in EVE, including with Saraya, Tsukasa Fujimoto, Hikaru Shida, Kay Lee Ray and Kat Waters as we await EVE's WrestleFever event on Nov 10th, when she will face Alpha Female for the EVE Championship. We also talk marketing yourself, her blogs, 30 minute poops and Lee gets a crash course in Glaswegian slang…

Ringbelles Roundup (28 August 2012) – the Aussies & Kiwis, April Davids & more
There has been a lot of focus on the continent of Australasia recently, and most of it centres around one kick-happy wrestler from New Zealand.
As we have documented, Evie has been catapulted into everyone's line of sight, winning both the IPW Women's and PWWA Championships in the space of seven days – the first in a triple threat match with Megan-Kate and Britenay, and the latter against Jessie McKay just last Saturday.
When approached for comment, the Auckland resident told Ringbelles:
Winning the IPW Women's Title and then the PWWA Interim Title… words can't pinpoint the feelings I felt over those nights. I was extremely emotional… a few tears were shed, and it definitely is the highlight of my career to date. I came away from both matches battered and bruised, but it was all worth it in the end… after five years, I finally feel like a champion.
The fans have also been rad… I can't believe how much support I received through those tournaments, both online and in person. It was amazing!
Ringbelles Roundup (31 July 2012) – Beautiful People reunion, no Divas and more
Velvet Sky was released from TNA last week, and I'm sure it wasn't a decision that she came to lightly. However, following the departure of her longtime tag team partner Angelina Love at the start of July, she thought out loud on Twitter about a Beautiful People reunion, and there was no way that could happen on TNA TV, so we should have read into that at the time. Well, now it's set to happen, as Sky and Love (now going under her original guise of Angel Williams) will be on the same show for Northeast Wrestling on September 22 in Fiskhill, NY, and have been booked to participate in a tag team match for Family Wrestling Entertainment on October 5 in Brooklyn, NY against Maria Kanellis and a partner who has not been announced yet.
Like I pointed out when the news of her release was announced, Sky must imagine that there must be a lot of money on the table for the Beautiful People to do a tour. However, as well as taking the money on the table, both she and Williams have the opportunity to give back too. (more…)

Market guide | Zillow predicts 94061 home values will rise 6% next year, compared to a 5.9% rise for Redwood City as a whole. Among 94061 homes, this home is valued 18.6% less than the midpoint (median) home, but is valued 146.3% more per square foot. Foreclosures will be a factor impacting home values in the next several years. In the 94061 market, the number of foreclosures waiting to be sold decreased 7.9% in the last year. The number of unsold foreclosures is 29.8% greater than in Redwood City, and 72.1% lower than the national average. This higher local number may prevent 94061 home values from rising as quickly as other regions in Redwood City. Learn more about forecast calculations or 94061 home values.… moreless |

Durham Book Festival 2011: An Insider's Perspective, Part 2

maryrhoades Rating:1.0Our two podiums are less than a year old, and all eight plastic casters have broken. The plastic fixture that holds the large podium platform - as opposed to the small one - is also broken. Although this is an attractive, functional podium, the quality is severly lacking.

susan9093 Rating:5.0These are defintely worth the money and are working exactly how I intended them to. After remodeling my office, I didnt wanted to go back to multiple desks as 2-3 people use this home office. I was looking for more of a work station setup and these tables are perfect for that. I purchased 3 and they are positioned in a u-shape so u can wheel around to whichever tabel has the pcs, printers, phones, scanners and fax machine. Underneath is all open so its easy to plug stuff in. U can get cord organizers to make it look nicer. They are very very sturdy- unlike the plastic/resin banquet tables u can buy for less $$ at walmart for example. I love that these are adjustable height also. The ONLY thing I am disappointed in is that I was planning on putting rolling drawers underneath but the table "bars" come down 2 far and u cant do that. I will find other storage ideas. I LOVE the blue color against the maize yellow of my office too. Nice and strong. Dont see these ever sagging from the weight of all the computers and such. Would buy again!

avirginiacustomer Rating:5.0Ordered these tables to complete outfitting a new conference/training/meeting center. WOW! These tables are great quality, not "rickety" or wobbly. Well-made and extremely easy to set up. Lightweight enough for me (a woman) to set up and move around. Tops are smooth enough to serve as a writing surface. No assembly or tools needed -- they arrived in a box encased in a plastic bag -- just had to slide them out, open legs, and voila! I waited more than 4 months for these to return to stock -- SO GLAD I DID! Would recommend highly for home or office use. Overstock price was the lowest I found -- and when I considered the $2.95 shipping fee, I knew I had made the right choice.

hulk2020 Rating:4.0Item came with a plastic end broken and a leg bent out of shape but I crazy glued the plastic part back together and was able to assemble the table by myself over two days. Very sturdy.
Sat May 08 00:00:00 MDT 2010
j4zz Rating:5.0It's perfect for those times when you just need an extra surface. It folds away beautifully. It is plastic, so don't plan on putting anything heavy on it (i.e., sewing machine).
Wed Mar 07 00:00:00 MST 2012
jean818 Rating:5.0They are very lightweight and easy to set up. O few of the plastic peices that hold the table leg closed pop out of place, all but one popped back in. I plan on having the table up all the time so it not going to make a difference.
Mon Apr 25 00:00:00 MDT 2011
eldoradocaddy Rating:1.0The materials are good quality, the frame and the legs are steel, the top is plastic. When I received it, I pulled it from the box and laid it against the wall. A few days later we set it up to play some cards with friends. When I picked it up the frame was loose from the top. I found that some of the screws were missing. So I went to HD and got some screws, no biggie, #10 sheet metal screws. But when I go to install the screws I find that the screws go through the metal frame and into the "HOLLOW" plastic top. So NONE of the screws will tighten and if you pull on the frame the screws will just come out. Extremely poor design. My son had already trashed the box or I would've sent this piece of crap back to the "O". You've been warned, buy at your own risk.

bonevnie Rating:4.0The table is all I expected it be. I wouldn't consider it "light weight" however.
Tue Sep 18 00:00:00 MDT 2012
78leonardo Rating:5.0Great quality, and as described on website. Weighs more than anticipated but still may less than the older tables.

jabkazoo from Michigan, Rating:5.0This is a great table. It is sturdy, folds flat, and is height adjustable.
Nov 15, 2013
cheekymonkey002002 from Colorado, Rating:5.0The desk has a simple, clean design and is well made. Very sturdy and extremely easy to set up. I'm 5'3" and handled the assembly entirely on my own, got it up within 1 hour. It's a heavy desk, so do get another person to help you lift it up when you are done putting it together. Unlike most other imported, ready-to-assemble furniture, the assembling instruction was easy to follow. I especially like that all the metal beams/legs are quality metal with a smooth coating; there are absolutely no rough corners or sharp edges that would cut your fingers. Further, all nuts, bolts and screws are quality metal as well (nothing like those cheaply made-in-China kinds that would not fit right together or strip easily after a few turns) . The surface finish is a pleasant light grey color and very smooth. Overall, a high quality product (made in Taiwan) at a cut-throat price, in my opinion. In fact, we were so pleased with it, we immediately recommended it to our family members.
Nov 14, 2013
paminpink from Melbourne, FL, Rating:2.0While the table is a good value-sturdy and attractive; after only one month they started bowing in at the center. There is nothing stored on them. They are used on average 2 hours per day, 3 days were week and for some reason some (not all) of them are caving in. I would like to contact the company and see if there is a history or if they can be exchanged but have no contact info.

manicotti from Maricopa, AZ, Rating:5.0Good table for cook outs. Holds alot of food, etc.
Oct 31, 2013
thediamondback from Buckeye, Az, Rating:5.0A few months ago we acquired a Lifetime Table just like this one and ever since it has been a hassle about who was going to get to use it. Well we purchased another one and now the hassle has been settled. We each have one. The table is very well built with sturdy materials. The table is easy to clean and it is very stable. I have a couple large dogs and I don't have to worry about them knocking the table over when I have food or my laptop on it. The table has more uses than just a TV table in the living room. My wife and I are getting up in years and these tables are good for bedside tables for medicine and breathing machines and much more. Our grandson likes to use it for his crafts and hobbies. The uses are endless.

In this book Dipali Sen presents a variety of Indian recipes while recollecting many incidents from her life, especially the idyllic years she spent as a little girl with her grandparents in the sleepy town of Bogra, now in Bangladesh. For her, food is associated with the most exciting history, the most colorful customs, and the most fascinating personal reminiscences. She tells how her great grandfather was paraded about on an elephant when he graduated from Dacca University, and how in later life he developed an interest in dancing girls. There are also stories about a grandmother who battled snakes, an untouchable friend, a floating palace, a pet peacock with a dazzling display of More... feathers, and a dangerous encounter with a cobra that she barely survived with the help of two gun-bearing relatives, all of which are associated with easy-to-follow recipes. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in food, elephants, cobras, and the mysterious Indian subcontinent. Less...

Not for love or passion
Nor hatred or degradation
I've became what you detest,
That you fear in your heart and disavow.
In the moment that I was going to die
where I had to fade away
I received more than I asked
the refund of the spent, empty days
Many things lost significance
in the very moment when I was changed
I accepted your invitation
while I was being carved up by a moon ray
I wandered, stray
free and wild
I found clarity in my head
and recalled by the forest
I killed and ate my preys
while the believers
have already damned me
shouting To The Stake! To The Stake!
Hoping with this yell out
to reassure your faith
in yourself and in the Most
believing in It's Endless Power
I won't give you any hope or certainty
but my savage crimes
won't spare you
and in all this mischief
that is my existance
I'll offer my resistance
to your bigoted penance.
In my eyes of embers, will die
human pity and compassion
despise tradition
I won't spare energies
I will challenge your synergies
without rest, without pause
I'll defeat your cause
I won't stop
and even when you'll die
I will resurrect you
so I could torture and kill you again,
and make you suffer
like my first cry,
That you refused to hear
Shall be your eternal torment
Like my hatred that is fomented
by the savagery that you have created
An answer to your invitation
Miss 1111….

Bale, the £85m-rated superstar, is now worth a third of the WHOLE of Tottenham (and here's the rest of the mind-boggling numbers game...)
By Nik Simon
If Gareth Bale really is the world's most valuable footballer, then he has become a very big fish in a club that recently listed its total assets at £282million, accounting for nearly one third of Tottenham's fortune.
His sporting brilliance combined with a huge marketable value means the winger now has the same price tag as Andre Villas Boas' last 11 signings combined.
Bale's popularity accounts for an estimated 50 per cent of licensing sales at Tottenham and, if he does leave for Real Madrid - in this summer or the next - then he will leave a dark financial hole at White Hart Lane.
The money man: Bale is the subject of a world-record bid from Real Madrid
Box office: Bale's face lights up Times Square in New York in an advert for the Premier League
The Welshman is already a money-spinner, earning an estimated £1.5million for his role with BT Sport, yet he has barely scratched the surface of his commercial potential
Tottenham are demanding such a huge amount for Bale because they do not want to lose an asset with the ability to generate massive returns.
May 2007 - £5million: Martin Jol snaps up the youngster from Southampton
Dec 2008 - swap deal: Harry Redknapp considers trading Bale for Stuart Downing
May 2009 - loan deal: Birmingham's Alex McLeish makes an audacious loan move
Sept 2009 - £5million: The winger attracts interest from Italian giants AC Milan
Nov 2009 - £3million: Forest manager Billy Davies tries to sign Bale on the cheap
Apr 2010 - £14million: Juventus linked with a move for the winger
Oct 2010 - £22million: Big-money attention after Bale scores hat-trick against Inter Milan
Mar 2011 - £40million: The youngster continues to attract high-profile suitors
Dec 2011 - £25million: Barcelona prepare to stump up for the Welshman
May 2012 - £40million plus player: Man City are linked with a summer move for Bale
Oct 2012 - £50million: Real Madrid signal their initial interest before the transfer window
May 2013 - £60million: Zinedine Zidane suggests Madrid could pay £60million
July 2013 - £85million: Bale becomes the subject of a world-record bid from Madrid
Bale's footballing talent is worked into his £85million valuation but so too is his potential to turn profits for many years to come.
'There's probably a 20 to one difference between the image rights of Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo at the moment,' said Steve Martin, CEO of M&C Saatchi Sport and Entertainment.
'But he's completely underexploited as an asset. You don't hear him speak much, you don't see him do much and globally he's a bit of a sleeping giant.
'He's the hottest topic in this country but he hasn't been on the global stage over and above the Premier League.'
Bale has appeared on thousands of billboards and millions of newspaper adverts through his new role as a BT Sport ambassador.
His performances have earned his place on the prestigious list of players to appear on the cover of video game FIFA.
The 24-year-old is making all the right noises bur he still does lacks the global franchise power of Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Spanish giants paid £80million for Ronaldo in 2009 and they reportedly made back their money through shirt sales in his first season alone.
Tottenham could only dream of cashing in on Bale's profile to the extent of Madrid, because they will never have the same global outreach as the Spaniards.
'Ronaldo could generate up to £500million for Real Madrid,' added Martin.
'Those numbers are kept very secretive but, if someone's bought for £80million, they want a 10 to one return on that. He'll earn his fee back in a year.
'There's no comparison between Real Madrid and Spurs. There's an astronomical difference in terms of audience figures and the fame generated playing for the club.
'When you start getting to Champions League finals, then all of a sudden there's 200 countries watching you.'
Cut above: Bale will struggle to fufil his commercial potential at Tottenham
Prolific: Ronaldo celebrates a goal with his Madrid team-mates against arch rivals Barcelona
Star attraction: Fans gather to catch a glimpse of Ronaldo before Madrid's friendly with Bournemouth
Commercial clout: Bale and Ronaldo have the ability to turn over huge revenues off the field
One sticking point for Bale is that he will not be at the World Cup next summer and his Wales team-mates are a long way from being an international force.
It is a rarity that a sporting freak is not given a chance on the international stage but Bale's British roots go some way to compensating that.
The English speaking audience is the biggest market for football and Madrid are desperate to increase their grasp on overseas viewers.
David Beckham is arguably the most lucrative footballer ever to sign for Real Madrid and, to a lesser extent, Michael Owen and Jonathan Woodgate also added to the international factor.
'Gareth Bale's sponsorship contracts are probably worth about £700,000 to £1million,' said Martin.
'People don't know much about Bale away from the pitch, which is actually a massive opportunity. The potenital is there for him to absolutely soar.
'There would need to be a big campaign to elevate that status should he move and I'm sure there would be.
'You just have to look at Ronaldo who, on the other, hand probably earns about eight to £10million a year.'
It is 10 years since Beckham made his Real Madrid debut and no Briton has made the same impact on the game since the former England skipper.
Bale could be the one to take up the mantle, but it will not happen in north London.

What are your fav places to buy kitchen goods? Oh and another place, Ikea! I have bought their .50 spatulas ,glass bowls, and several cutting boards . They have all sorts of cooking utensils. |
Soulfood Style Fill the sink with water,you can add a little dish soap or even bleach for extra cleaning, rip or cut the leaves off the stalk, roll the leaves and slice the roll in sections. Then put the greens in a pot 1/4 filled with water and throw in a ham hock or smoked neck bones. Lastly add Emerils essence seasoning, garlic salt, red pepper flakes, and pepper, bring it to a high boil then turn your stove on low and slow cook for a couple hrs. Put it on a plate with some buttered honey cornbread and it is DELICIOUS! You can make Vegetarian greens (with flavor) but but instead of adding smoked meat |
What are your fav places to buy kitchen goods? Oh I found another place! Http://www.cookswarehouse.com but its only local to this area,. |
What to do with a Cuisinart Food Processor ? Ok, I've gotten beyond the "lets see what it can do with this practice food" stage, learned some things and actually made some pretty good dishes. I chopped my tomatoes and onions without making a puree, sliced my carrots and herbs ( too lazy to change the disk), shredded zucchini for zucchini cornbread and mixed it with the doughblade. I can't wait to slice peaches for peach cobbler, make hummus although I don't like it but I know someone that does, and create all sorts of condiments. Thanks for all the suggestions that have been posted so far. |
What are your fav places to buy kitchen goods? I recently visited Home Goods and could not believe it. I never knew about it and didn't know it's a subsidiary of TJMaxx. See, I didn't have it all covered! |
What are your fav places to buy kitchen goods? My fav places that have the best clearance sections are Macy's, Khol's, Williams and Sonoma, Wal-Mart (when they had the Kitchen aid stuff), Big Lots (found some Pottery barn and Crate and Barrel stuff in there), Dillards. Other fav's are Costo, BJ's, TJ maxx, Ross, Marshalls. |
le creuset or heavy stainless? I have had my set of Le Creuset pots for over 10 yrs. and use it for everyday cooking. They still look great and perform well. Its the only "set" of pots I have, along with a few other cast iron and hand me down pots from my mom and aunts. |
What to do with a Cuisinart Food Processor ? Thanks for the reference to the cookbook. Here is the link to my other post yayadave http://www.chowhound.com/topics/408307 sans the closed parentheses to make it easier for ya. Thanks for the link to the video as well. I saw the link before but thought it may be outdated like the Video that I received. Yes I do have the detachable stem and the disks that came with the machine. The only thing that I don't have is the instructional DVD but I wonder if its the same as this video link above. Perhaps someone can tell me :) |
What to do with a Cuisinart Food Processor ? I'm sure something along the lines of this question has already been posted, but I find it too time consuming to plough through the multitude of posts with the word "Cuisinart". I recently purchased a Cuisinart Custom Pro 14 chrome from Khol's on an open box buy in the clearance area for $96. I do not have the DVD (before you advise me on how to get the DVD pls read the message that I posted on this thread http://www.chowhound.com/topics/408307). I also have the Cuisinart Mini-prep plus that I got from Costco for $24 and want to make the most of that as well. I can really use advise,tricks, tips,and ideas for either one of the machines. I tried to CHOP onions,and made a nice onion puree. I know now that I can do a puree, can do pastry, chop nuts and herbs. I would like to CHOP my vegetables. I remember my aunt buying one of these way back in '79 and she crushed some oreo's in it for cookies and cream ice cream. I have not seen her use it since. But there must be something more to it than making sauces, purees, and cookies and cream ice cream. I would like to do fries and some more CHOPPING. I thought my CHOPPING days with a knife was over. Help me please! |
Cuisinart Food Processor Problem! I just bought my Cuisinart Pro Custom 14 from Khol's, open box buy, for $96. Myself and the sales lady thought all the parts were there until I got home and found that the DVD and the detachable stem was missing. I called Cuisinart cu service at around 10 or 11 o'clock at night est. time, someone answered and they promptly sent me a detachable stem and VHS (I clearly stated DVD, gave him the exact model ,serial , all the info he needed). Since then I have been calling my a... off trying to get through to someone to send me that DVD. I know they have it to send. And now they say they are open from 8:30 am to 8:30 pm . What the hell? I need that DVD. I had a fit to have this thing, got it at a hell of a deal and now need to know what the hell I can do with it, other than puree, pastry, and sliced cucumbers. |

More than $2M worth of pot seized in the Bahamas
The Associated Press
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — U.S. federal agents and Bahamas police have seized more than $2 million worth of marijuana.
The U.S. Coast Guard said in a statement Saturday that authorities found 67 bales near the island of Exuma. Officials said the drugs weighed more than 2,300 pounds and were hidden on a remote cay that is part of the Exuma island chain.
Four people were arrested after Friday's seizure.

Shankly wins one-mile juvenile race at Salisbury (From Salisbury Journal)

Shankly wins one-mile juvenile race at Salisbury
11:22am Wednesday 11th September 2013 in Headlines By Journal Reporter
ON a programme lavishly designed for young fillies, it was ironically a colt who produced the most compelling performance at Salisbury on Thursday.
A scorching late summer's afternoon witnessed the debut of an equally warm prospect for next year's major classic when Shankly overcame understandable greenness to win the one mile juvenile race.
It was a race of contrasting fortunes with first the odds-on favourite Sebastian Beach and then Faintly looking in command until Shankly came with an irresistible run on the outside to win impressively and underline the potential he has shown at home.
However, trainer Clive Cox intends to pursue a low profile with the Derby entrant, whose dam won a Lingfield Oaks trial.
"He is a seriously good horse with a bright future," he declared.
"Don't expect to see much more of him this year. We have taken a step in the right direction. He won't fly high, we'll take little steps."
Lustrous's pedigree hinted she will also be a better horse in 2014 but she was still forward enough to take the second division of the seven furlong maiden fillies race to deliver Richard Hughes a record breaking seasonal best of 16 winners at the course.
It also enabled trainer Richard Hannon to equal his best ever seasonal score at the venue by posting his 20th success, although Lustrous was almost withdrawn with the champion jockey reporting part of the track resembled a road.
"But she coped well with it," said Hannon, confirming that Toronado would return to action in the Queen Elizabeth 2 Stakes at Ascot and 1,000 Guineas heroine Sky Lantern would target the Sun Chariot Stakes at Newmarket.
Lady Cecil, pictured above, widow of the late Sir Henry, was a surprise visitor to the course to saddle Joyeuse, who has clearly inherited some of the ability of her illustrious half-brother Frankel.
The filly had not run since Royal Ascot as she had simply grown and grown, explained Lord Teddy Grimthorpe, racing managing to winning owner Khalid Abdullah.
"We have to be very pleased with her,"
he said, observing she was a little ring rusty as she battled to hold the determined challenge of Dorothy B.
"She probably needed it but travelled well in the race and lengthened when she needed to," he added.
"There are plenty of options where to go next. It's simply a question of which one.
Obviously the Cheveley Park would be a possibility if we stayed at six, but if we raced her over seven, then it could be the Rockfel but I doubt the Fillies Mile."
Unlike many of the runners, Viking Spirit can never have conditions too hard and finally ended a year-long in a gritty style that Persian Punch, after whom the 14 furlong test was named, would have solidly approved.
Trainer Harry Dunlop said: "He loves this going and that's why we came here. The pace was fast and that's the way the way he likes it. He won the Shergar Cup like this, he simply grinds it out. Hopefully we can build on this."

Yellen or Summers to succeed Bernanke? Wells Fargo says toss-up
- Adam O'Daniel
- Finance Editor- Charlotte Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+
In the finance-nerd parlor game of guessing who will become the next Federal Reserve chairman, economists at Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) have analyzed the differences between leading contenders Janet Yellen and Larry Summers.
The conclusion (drum roll, please): Meh. They're about the same.
Wells' Charlotte-based chief economist, John Silvia, and his team published a thought piece on the two leading candidates this week. They believe Yellen and Summers are both likely to stay the course on unwinding Ben Bernanke's asset purchases, target the unemployment rate with monetary policy and tolerate moderately rising inflation if it is accompanied by job market improvement.
Silvia's team writes:
We find that it is very hard to delineate between the top two candidates views on monetary policy, financial stability and the current regulatory framework. On background and experience, every past chair in the Fed's history has either had fiscal policy experience and/or private sector experience. Janet Yellen and Larry Summers also have impressive backgrounds, but Yellen lacks experience in the private sector. Another sticking point will likely be in the decision making process. We suspect there is a greater likelihood that Yellen would continue with Bernanke's well known consensus driven approach. Despite a difference in the decision making process, personality and private-sector experience — which are menial — we can hardly find a difference in the two candidates.
The knock on Yellen is her résumé as a bureaucratic insider with little to no real-world experience. But she has been Bernanke's vice chair and trusted No. 2 through the economic crisis and recovery. Many feel that makes her well-suited for the job of unwinding the drastic measures Bernanke took to prop up the economy.

Tim Burton should just make a movie called "Johnny Depp".
Plot Twist: Johnny Depp is played by Helena Bonham Carter.
"—Tony Spencer"The most important things are the hardest to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them — words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they're brought out. But it's more than that, isn't it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you've said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That's the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a teller but for want of an understanding ear."—Stephen King (via ramblingsofawranger)
"She was wearing a pair of my pajamas with the sleeves rolled up. When she laughed I wanted her again. A minute later she asked me if I loved her. I told her it didn't mean anything but that I didn't think so. She looked sad. But as we were fixing lunch, and for no apparent reason, she laughed in such a way that I kissed her."—Albert Camus, The Stranger (via pavorst)

The science of sprinting
What is it about Usain Bolt – who begins the defence of his Olympic title today – that gives him an edge over his stockier, more powerful rivals? Steve Connor investigates
Steve Connor
Steve Connor is the Science Editor of The Independent. He has won many awards for his journalism, including five-times winner of the prestigious British science writers' award; the David Perlman Award of the American Geophysical Union; twice commended as specialist journalist of the year in the UK Press Awards; UK health journalist of the year and a special merit award of the European School of Oncology for his investigative journalism. He has a degree in zoology from the University of Oxford and has a special interest in genetics and medical science, human evolution and origins, climate change and the environment.
Saturday 04 August 2012
When Usain Bolt, the fastest man on earth, takes to the starting blocks for the 100 metres race tomorrow night people may wonder whether there will ever be a more perfect sprinter.
Body shape, muscle strength, the relative lengths of legs, heels and toes, as well as a fine-tuned nervous system to pull the whole thing together, are just some of the biological attributes that make a world-class runner.
At 6ft 5in, Bolt is taller and leaner than most top sprinters but still conforms closely to the scientific predictions for what enables someone to run breathtakingly fast over short distances – in his case a record 9.58 seconds for the 100 metres.
The American sprinter Carl Lewis, a former Olympic champion who holds nine gold medals, is three inches shorter than Bolt yet was almost a stone heavier than the Jamaican athlete when Lewis held the 100 metres world record in the 1980s.
Alan Nevill of the University of Wolverhampton believes that Bolt epitomises the changing shape of world-class sprinters who are getting more "linear" – taller and leaner than their shorter, more muscle-bound predecessors.
"The body shape of male sprinters seems to have changed over the past decade or so. Taller, more linear individuals are emerging as the better sprinters and we think it's got something to do with increased stride length," Dr Nevill said.
Sprinters with longer legs have longer strides – an advantage in the middle stages of the race when they have reached their top speed, which they must maintain until the finish line.
Shorter, more powerful legs are better in the earlier, acceleration stage, but Bolt can evidently compensate for his slight disadvantage over his shorter, heavier competitors.
Sprinting is an extreme form of running requiring a combination of physical and mental attributes that can be honed by intensive training. Yet most experts would agree that a world-class sprinter is born rather than made.
In Bolt's case, it helps that he is from Jamaica. Studies have shown that black athletes with West African ancestry have significantly more "fast-twitch" muscle fibres, which tire easily but contract more quickly than the "slow-twitch" fibres commonly found in long-distance runners.
"To be a great sprinter you need leg muscles that are dominated by fast-twitch muscle fibres because they shorten the muscle quickly and generate power," said Professor Steve Harridge of Kings College London.
"Marathon runners have more slow-twitch fibres, which is one of the reasons why you are never going to turn Paula Radcliffe into a great sprinter, or Usain Bolt into a good long-distance runner," Professor Harridge said.
Weight training can make fast-twitch fibres thicker and stronger but there is no evidence to suggest that it is possible to convert one type of muscle fibre to another by training alone.
Scientists have also found that there are certain natural variants of a gene called ACTN3 that can boost the performance of fast-twitch muscle fibres. Again, whether you have the "sprint gene" or not depends on whether you have inherited it. Some nationalities, such as Jamaicans, are known to have a higher prevalence of the sprint gene than other groups.
Genes are also involved in determining the length of a person's Achilles tendon and toes. Good sprinters have shorter tendons than expected for their height, and their toes are proportionately longer. This allows their calve muscles to do more work in the acceleration phase of the sprint.
But training is also important in bringing out the best in what a sprinter such as Bolt has inherited. It can make muscles stronger, but also improves their ability to store energy in the form of creatine phosphate, a substance that allows them to produce short, powerful bursts of muscle activity.
