Ancient Seafaring at ArchaeologyAshNews
ArchaeologyAshNews writes at Set Sail for Singapore! about the recent discovery of an ancient sailing vessel, the cargo of which convincingly proves ancient world seafaring long before the modern era. The posting is about:
"[T]he 1998 discovery of a ninth-century shipwreck and its astonishing cargo of about 60,000 objects from Tang dynasty China, ranging from mass-produced ceramics to rare and extraordinary items of finely worked gold. The cargo had laid undisturbed on the ocean floor for more than 1,100 years until sea-cucumber divers discovered it off the coast of Indonesia's Belitung Island. The ship, an Arab dhow, and its contents confirm the existence of a direct maritime trade route (alluded to in ancient Chinese and Arabic texts) from China to the Persian Gulf and beyond-well before the Portuguese set sail in the 15th century."

personal: boxee | twitter | boxee hq
boxee: boxee chat | boxee wiki | boxee plugins
i run boxee 0.9.20 on: ubuntu 9.10, windows xp sp3 (virtual machine), windows 7 and a neuros link hacked to all hell.
what super powers does a 'super mod' have? the 'super ban'... that, and laser vision.
I have one of those but I prefer the Logitech S510 Media remote which comes bundled with the Cordless Desktop and mouse, both of which have great range when sitting 8-15 feet back from the Boxee HTPC connected big screen. The optical mouse works especially well on sofa arms. Some of the S510's functions work as expected but I'd like to see some additions made to the settings menus to customize behavior/buttons a bit. Especially the skip back/forward functions which seem hard wired at 30 secs. But more importantly even with a mouse its impossible to advance the playback to a particular point dragging the playback progress slider around and you're reduced to clicking 30 second or 30 minute skips to try to approximate where you wanted to be in the movie/show. Take a look at the GOM player or even the horrible WMP for how we've gotten used to expecting direct playback access to work. If you can't give us a grabable slider then at least a keyboard entry of what time mark to skip to.
It might also help to have a brief "using your mouse" help page somewhere. Using right click to get BACK functionality wasn't intuitively obvious especially since it doesn't work if you happen to be positioned over an active button.
I'm on the latest and greatest Windows Boxee build running on WinXP sp3 in a Pentium D 3ghz 4gb environment. Not sure if I should be posting this in a sticky'd thread.
Thaniks for the cool product and keep up the good work.

Here is a tool called ReNamer that is free and will save you a lot of time renaming files and episodes in the file name, real easy to use.
Does Boxee work well with Winlirc or Xbox controller for Windows?
I just installed it. I'm running Windows XP Pro on an old 3.0 ghz P4 with 4gb ram (3gb recognized in XP). Runs pretty smoothly! Boxee is installed and indexing files from a SATA drive jumpered to 1.5gb/s (since my old mobo can't do the full 3.0gb/s). Every few days I refresh/update the source which is my torrent DL folder and it adds the movies pretty quickly. I'd say it finished the initial index of 115 movies in about 30 mins?
Always search the forums!
Bring back the A button!
well, at least these five things will surely give some iedas on boxee. thanks for the great information.
[moderator edit: do not advertise in your signature]
Boxee has switched over to using IMDB naming conventions now for TV Shows and Movies; am I right?

very nice first grow. even if it tastes weird. as long as it fucks your ass up, it's good weed heh
freakin' nice. this is exactly what im planning on doing. i even think your cabinet is the same size as mine. im also LSTing, hope they turn out as good as those.
very nice first grow. even if it tastes weird. as long as it fucks your ass up, it's good weed heh
Hey im really diggin your setup.... much props....couple quick questions,,,
1. How is your plant sooo tight using cfl's haha? and is it wiser to get a 400 watt hps or stick with those cfls if youre only trying to grow 2-4 plants?
and what spectrums did you use for grow / wattage cfls?
I don't smoke, I don't grow, I am a compulsive liar. <- Not Me.
how to keep it tight? lotsa light up close.
400w HPS would be insanely superior. those cfls put out 1600-2750 lumens each, my 400w MH bulb i just got puts out 40000 lumens!
for veg i used 4x 23-27w 5000k-6500k bulbs
for flowering i used 3x 42w 2700k bulbs with a 26w 3000k and a 27w 5000k to mix up the spectrum some
final dry weight was about an ounce and a half. its ok....middies. very clean taste.

Porn Star Tara Aire is a dominant sexual performer whose rough-and-ready sexual style sits in vivid contrast to her youthful and innocent appearance. Tara Aire was one of the favorite choices of 80's porn producers when it came to coming-of-age films or roles that required a randy young strumpet to pull them off. She was a dirty blonde with a pretty, slightly pug-nosed face and a thin figure that would have been at home in the waif-look 90's.
Tara Aire's acting skills were far and above those of her porn peers in the mid-80's, and she parlayed her talents into a string of starring roles that put her on the sexual map. Tara Aire turned heads from her very first film, 1981's 'Never So Deep,' where she took on a young Mike Horner in a blistering sex scene that was without a doubt the film's best. Tara Aire was a take-charge kind of girl who loved nothing better than putting her partners through their paces in every lewd and lascivious way she could think of.
Tara Aire's best role would have to be her turn as a country girl who moves to the big city in 'Nasty Lady.' She turns in one of the hottest photo shoot sex scenes you're likely to ever see, full of her energetic and vocal sexual hysteics and lots of her forceful, tough-talking sexing. Tara Aire left the business in late 1984 after steaming up more than thirty hardcore features with her slap-happy romping.

Directed by
Indie favorites Jay and Mark Duplass co-direct this wry look at modern love and family dysfunction. John C. Reilly plays a divorced man who thinks he's found just the right woman (Marisa Tomei) to help him recover and move on. Unfortunately, the woman's son, played by Jonah Hill, has no interest in allowing another man into their lives -- a stance he proceeds to demonstrate in a variety of obnoxious ways.

I have no quarrel with frozen yogurt; it's "fro-yo" that baffles me. There are the interchangeable, infantile shop names—YoGo Monster, Yolato, Oko, /eks/, Flurt, Pinkberry, Yorganic—and then there's the fact that these franchises all make almost exactly the same, tangy icy dessert, despite partisans who claim that one is infinitely better than another. Even the toppings that each store offers are nearly identical. The appetite for fro-yo seems insatiable; every time I think the trend is on its way out, a new place hawking that same "all-natural...

Sex toy kits are Sassy's new favorite thing to order from toy websites. It is amazing the things they decide to put together in a box. It is normally only a few small toy accessories, such as cream, lotion, oil, body dust, and maybe a small vibrating bullet or a cock ring. Even so, these are good items to always have on hand. Sassy thinks that everyone should have one of these small kits in their car, so that no matter where you are, you will always be ready for an exciting adventure, or intimate moment with a loved one.

We've made it easier for you to take a hike.
Every year, 16 million visitors flock to places like Alcatraz, Crissy Field, and Muir Woods, experiencing the results of the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy's remarkable conservation efforts.
Their online presence used to be spread over three sites making it difficult for visitors to find information.
Mediatrope created a new, integrated site using Sitebots® that enables the Conservency to manage content, volunteer registration, merchandise sales, membership renewal, event ticketing, and email marketing so they can reach out to their constituents.
Online visitors can now find everything they're looking for in one place and connect to the parks in more ways than ever.
We've succeeded in creating an online portal that will dramatically expand how the Parks Conservancy communicates.

Recruit Reels provides three powerful reasons why coaches, recruiters, and scouts should frequent our web site:
- Our videos are true recruiting videos combining game action, training/workout footage, stats, and an interview to provide the complete profile of the student athlete.
- We verify stats, grades, and ACT/SAT scores with coaches and guidance counselors and also provide transcripts upon request.
- We provide complete contact information.
Our Goal is to Make it Easy for You...
As a recruiter, we realize your time is valuable so we try to save you as much legwork as possible. We interviewed several college coaches to find out exactly what they needed in a recruiting video. Here's what we were told:
- "I need to see their athletic skills immediately."
We accomplish this by shooting our footage isolating on one subject. We will show the athlete's skill set in real-time without effects and then replay in slow motion for emphasis. We spot-shadow them at the beginning of each play where identification is questionable. We will limit the scenes to 8-10 focusing on different skills because we realize you need to see versatility. The first minute will tell you what you need to know so we will sequence the scenes accordingly. - "Verify stats and grades with transcripts."
We will do this painstaking step for you to save valuable time. You will know that the information provided on our videos is trustworthy. - "I need their email address, home number, cell number, parents' numbers and email addresses, or any means available to make contact."
The most frustrating part of recruiting is to have interest in a prospect and not have a means of contact. We require all our recruits to provide all the information listed above. - "Make the site simple to navigate."
Our site makes it easy to find the athletes by name, school, city, state, and sport. Our advanced search function filters the information to make navigation quick and easy.
We hope this resource will prove valuable to you as recruiting budgets are getting slashed. Our recruits will have DVD's for shipping, but you may view all of them by visiting our web site. Due to privacy laws, we don't make their sensitive information available to anyone unless they are registered members of Recruit Reels, Inc. Please Sign Up to register your information so we can verify your credentials and provide you all the information on our recruits. We will not use your information for promotional purposes unless your permission is given. For us to attract the best quality student athletes and to make this site more useful to you, they need to know who is visiting our site.

The Queen of Katwe: A Story of Life, Chess, and One Extraordinary Girl's Dream of Becoming a GrandmasterBased on a popular ESPN magazine article selected by Dave Eggers for The Best American Nonrequired Reading and a finalist for a National Magazine Award, the inspiring true story of Phiona Mutesi, a teenage chess prodigy from the slums of Kampala, Uganda. PHIONA MUTESI sleeps in a decrepit shack with her mother and three siblings and struggles to find a single meal each day. Phiona has been out of school most of her life because her mother cannot afford it, so she is only now learning to read and write. Phiona Mutesi is also one of the best chess players in the world. One day in 2005, while searching for food, nine-year-old Phiona followed her brother to a dusty veranda where she met Robert Katende, who had also grown up in the Kampala slums. Katende, a war refugee turned missionary, had an improbable dream: to empower kids through chess�a game so foreign there is no word for it in their native language. Laying a chessboard in the dirt of the Katwe slum, Robert painstakingly taught the game each day. When he left at night, slum kids played on with bottlecaps on scraps of cardboard. At first they came for a free bowl of porridge, but many grew to love chess, a game that�like their daily lives�means persevering against great obstacles. Of these kids, one stood out as an immense talent: Phiona. By the age of eleven Phiona was her country�s junior champion and at fifteen, the national champion. In September 2010, she traveled to Siberia, a rare journey out of Katwe, to compete in the Chess Olympiad, the world�s most prestigious team-chess event. Phiona�s dream is to one day become a Grandmaster, the most elite title in chess. But to reach that goal, she must grapple with everyday life in one of the world�s most unstable countries, a place where girls are taught to be mothers, not dreamers, and the threats of AIDS, kidnapping, and starvation loom over the people. Like Katherine Boo�s Behind the Beautiful Forevers and Gayle Tzemach Lemmon�s The Dressmaker of Khair Khana, The Queen of Katwe is an intimate and heartrending portrait of human life on the poor fringes of the twenty-first century. |

No temporary business directional signs for steakhouse
Bethel selectmen Monday let stand a decision by Town Manager Doar to disallow the placement of temporary roadside directional signs on state roads for the Black Diamond Steakhouse, located on the Sunday River Road.
The steakhouse had asked for the signs as part of a request to the Maine Department of Transportation for similar signs in nearby towns, according to town officials.
The town administers signs on state roads in Bethel under an arrangement with MDOT.
But Bethel's Committee for Sign Ordinance Reform is currently working to update the town's sign ordinances, particularly those pertaining to roadside directional signs. Their proposal will be voted upon at the June town meeting.
The board had discussed the Black Diamond request at their February meeting, then asked Doar to survey other businesses on the road to see if they would want similar temporary signs.
Doar said Monday he did not contact businesses because "I didn't know what policy direction the board wants – is this just something for the Sunday River Road?"
He said no businesses had contacted him on the issue.
Selectman Don Bennett, also a member of the CSOR, said he supported the temporary signs, noting that currently businesses on the Sunday River Road can only place a small sign on a kiosk at the intersection with Route 2.
"If you were a business on the Sunday River Road and had the opportunity to go to the state and have a sign in other towns and have continuity [in signage], rather than a sign at the end of the Sunday River Road that's hard to read, you'd be trying to do something that's helping your business," he said. "The committee is trying to rework it so you're not looking at a sign at the end of the road. You're going to be looking at a sign that's back a way, where you have some time to look at it where you don't have to worry about traffic."
A temporary sign, he said, might serve as an experiment for that plan until June.
Regarding the current kiosk, Bennett said, "there's a reluctance on [the steakhouse owners'] part to share in the signage right there because they don't believe it works."
Doar said he was still concerned about the implications for other businesses of granting the request.
"There are an awful lot of interests there to try to appease," he said.
And, he said, "I think it's a bad idea, while the committee is working, to undermine that. They should be allowed to finish their work before we make any moves."
The board ultimately voted 4-1 to allow Doar's decision against the temporary signs to stand. Bennett voted in opposition.

Today in Electronics class, we had a representative from Lincoln Tech college come and talk to us about considering a career in Advanced Technology (programming, repair work, etc. etc.) He was talking about the daily expenses most people rack up when living by themselves (food, utility, entertainment, and general maintainence. Suddenly, the Electronics teacher, Mr. Dodds, a tall thin man of timid demeanor and caustic, wicked wit that I've nicknamed Beanstalk announces to the class that we're going to take an adventure. Predictably, this stirs the class, and as we file out the door, I overhear him telling the representative to "Bring it around back, OK?"
The class ventures across the school into the Small Engine Repair shop, which is a mess of car parts, engine parts, and a place where it would be MOST unwise to light a match. I wander over to the lifter, which is supporting a Ford pickup truck. A few seniors are attempting to install a wheel back on the truck, but are not doing much more than stripping the bolt.
Suddenly, everybody starts crowding around the exit/entrance ramp. I use my small size to my advantage, squeezing between the people to the front. Around the corner comes a pickup truck, towing behind it a trailer with a racecar painted on it. Everybody "Oooohs" and "Ahhhhs" while the representative flips up the back door on the trailer, revealing a beauty: An Indy 500 style race car. He unlocks the straps holding it in place and climbs in.
It sputters at a rate of roughly 8 times per second, and the kid next to me says "Oh, it's struggling, it's struggling!"
"No," I correct him,"THAT is a purr." A few seconds later, the classic sound emanates from the car: "VRRRARMMM VRROOOMMM NREEEEAAAHHHHH!"
"And THAT is a growl!" I grin.
It is quite interesting how directly sound can affect you. At a somewhat slow rpm (rotations per minute), the sound produced by the engine seems like it is just above the threshold where a series of clicks becomes a buzz. Idling the engine slowly merely causes your jeans to vibrate microscopically, as if a hundred hands were patting your clothes in the lightest way imaginable, fifty times per second. But when the engine starts REALLY revving up, then the sound begins to feel like if it gets any higher pitched, your eardrum might explode. Pop. If you can imagine ten thousand bumblebees all buzzing under a car's hood, you can imagine what the engine sounds like. Give those bumblebees a sugar high, and that's what a race car sounds like three feet away from you.
"Small block Chevy, solid cam? What kind of suspension?" asks the engine-repair teacher.
"Yeah" replies the driver "nice suspension. I've only driven it in one race, but it handles beatifully."
"Why doesn't it have a door?" asks a student.
The driver explains: "It's safer that way. There's something called a rollbar that protects the driver. Thats why you see 12 car crashes one minute, and five minutes later, they're interview the drivers. The whole car is really built around safety." He pops the hood. "As you can see here, the engine is surrounded by a rollbar of it's own, and it can ensure that the engine will work right even if the car is flipped over like a pancake. Also the skin of the car is very thin - thinner than most mass-produced models. The real sturctural support lies in the framework on the inside. Like your body - the bones are inside, and there's a thin layer of skin overtop."
The small engine repair teacher grins upon learning one of the students, Joshua, is absent. "Oh, he's just gonna DIE when he learns what he missed!" Everyone laughs.
Sadly the bell heralding the end of sixth period cuts the mirth short, as students hustle to get to their next period class. I go to Geometry, where we learn about some of the eccentricities of our Math teacher. I write down a note to myself to write about seeing and hearing a race car, and here I am....and there I was...

A Common Genius
Besides the failed negotiations with the
Penns, Franklin had a political goal in Great Britain as well.
Meeting with some of the most powerful Parliamentary leaders, he
emphasized the importance of the American colonies. Benjamin
believed that the English undervalued their relationship with their
colonial counterparts and that the British government possessed a
very vague understanding of its colonial subjects. In this regard,
he was ever willing to enlighten the English as to the nature of
the colonial inhabitants. Of the attributes of colonial America,
the British found it most difficult to fathom the lack of nobility
within the colonies. Steeped in aristocratic tradition, the British
government was based on the principle that some individuals are by
birth entitled to greater authority and privilege than others.
Colonial America, on the other hand, stood in stark contrast to the
British ideals. On the North American continent, all men were
considered equal. Furthermore, each and every individual, through
hard work and exceptional talent, had the potential to rise to the
upper strata of American society. Benjamin Franklin epitomized the
colonial perception.
Although he rubbed shoulders with the highest ranks of European nobility, Franklin always considered himself to be an ordinary Pennsylvanian citizen. Through his genius and persistence, Benjamin managed to become an eminent leader in colonial politics and in the field of science, but, in his heart, he remained the common man who tried to make an honest living at his trade. Despite his prestige, Franklin dressed and lived simply. He had no need for pompous wealth, believing a rich intellect was far more valuable than expensive clothes. Furthermore, Benjamin did not view any form of labor beneath his dignity. The ingenious colonist felt just as comfortable performing the duties as a common soldier in the city of Philadelphia as he did calling upon the King of England in the most lavish court of the eighteenth century. Perhaps, it was this distinction that separated Franklin most from his European counterparts. Disappointed his negotiations with the Penns failed, Franklin sailed home in January of 1762. While in England, the people of Philadelphia had elected Benjamin to the Pennsylvania Legislature in honor of his service to the colony. Meanwhile, William, Franklin's son, had been appointed royal governor of the New Jersey colony. By naming William to the post, the British hoped to garner the support of Benjamin. However, the elder Franklin, possessing the most independent of minds, was not to be so easily swayed. William Franklin: Governor of New Jersey While serving in the Pennsylvania Legislature, Benjamin also had numerous responsibilities in his role as Deputy Postmaster General of North America. Franklin took great pride in this office. Under his stewardship, mail services improved tremendously throughout the colonies. For example, he arranged mail delivery from New York to British-occupied Montreal, Quebec, and established 24-hour service between the major cities of Boston, New York, and Philadelphia. In 1763, the British and French signed a peace treaty, temporarily suspending their ongoing conflict. Unfortunately, the truce did not extend to the Native Americans. Bands of hostile "Indians" continued to attack the colonial settlers on the Pennsylvania western frontier. In retaliation, some colonists massacred INNOCENT and PEACEFUL Native Americans. Near the Pennsylvania town of Bethlehem, Moravians, a group of settlers from Eastern Europe, protected some friendly Native Americans from riotous and murderous colonists. Invigorated with courage, the Moravians transported the natives to Philadelphia, in hopes of guaranteeing them safe haven. Tension was high in Philadelphia. Franklin, a man of utmost compassion, lobbied for the protection of the innocent Native Americans even though this decision ensured numerous political enemies. Benjamin, with his usual rational and logical thought, wrote: "If an Indian injures me, does it follow that I may revenge that injury on all Indians?...If it be right to kill men for such a reason, then, should nay man with a freckled face and red hair kill a wife or child of mine, it would be right for me to revenge it by killing all the freckled red-haired men, women and children I could afterwards anywhere meet with." Moravian settlers As rioters neared the outskirts of Philadelphia, the Governor, at midnight, called on none other than Benjamin Franklin for advice. In preparation, Franklin and other citizens armed themselves for the city's defense. When the hostile colonists arrived in Philadelphia, they were confronted with Franklin's hastily organized but well-armed militia as well as with Franklin's reason. Meeting with the riotous mob, Benjamin managed to convince them to turn around and head home to their farms and fields. The Native Americans were saved, but not without some severe repercussions. The heirs of William Penn were irate. They had advocated the genocide and expatriation of the "Indian" race in Pennsylvania, offering rewards for Native American scalps. Franklin's noble actions had undermined their authority. Now, there could be no reconciliation between the Penns and Franklin. Nevertheless, the Pennsylvania populace overwhelmingly approved of Franklin's handling of the situation and of the many years of service he had given to the colony. As a result, Franklin was elected to be Speaker of the Pennsylvania Legislature. While Franklin served as the presiding officer, the legislature formulated a petition requesting that the King of England take control of the government of Pennsylvania from the Penns. The legislature could no longer tolerate the actions of William Penn's heirs. Consequently, they preferred direct royal authority to the proprietorship of the Penns. Outraged that Franklin would permit such a transgression against their colonial authority, the Penns organized fierce opposition to Franklin's reelection campaign. Due to the proprietors' efforts, Benjamin was ousted from office. However, despite the political setback, Franklin, with the support of the Pennsylvania Legislature, decided to deliver the petition personally to King George III of England. Leaving behind his wife and daughter, Franklin assumed he would be gone for a mere six months. Never did he suspect that circumstances in England and the situation in the colonies would require him to remain on the British Isles for the next ten years.

A flood of money into fixed income drove once-stable bonds into bubble territory before starting to retreat this month. Here's how to adjust your strategy and protect your portfolio.
For generations, bonds have offered investors a safe haven that provides both steady income and far more stable prices than mercurial, zigzagging stocks. But lately, bonds have been doing the zigzagging, threatening the very qualities that make fixed income so attractive.
The financial crisis sparked a buying frenzy in fixed income that has only started to abate. Since September of 2008, investors have poured a total of $937 billion into bond funds -- increasing the total investment in those funds by 55% and dwarfing the $195 billion that flowed into stock funds over the same period.
This flood of money inflated bond prices to such heights that it drove yields -- interest payments divided by bonds' market prices -- to their lowest level in 50 years. Because a bond's interest payment is fixed, the higher its price goes, the lower its yield becomes.
But now there are signs that the great bond bull market may be coming to an end. News last week that President Obama reached a tax deal with congressional Republicans pushed bond prices down and sent yields surging. By Tuesday, yields on the 10-year Treasury bond had jumped to 3.27%, up from a low of 2.33% in October.
How much will this recent market swoon hurt fixed income investors? Whether bonds will suffer the same fate as real estate and tech stocks is still highly uncertain. Former Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin has predicted a disastrous rout, and Warren Buffett recently warned about "the overextended bull market in fixed income." In November, Bill Gross, the founder of Pimco, one of the world's largest managers of fixed-income mutual funds, called an end to the 30-year golden age that gave bond investors near-double-digit returns.

In the decades since self-esteem came to be recognized as a crucial element in what we are able to accomplish in life, a corollary effort spread through classrooms: "building" positive self-esteem by making it easy for children to win praise. This was expected to motivate learning achievement. Children would "stay on task," perform well, feel smart, and enjoy learning. However, pouring on praise didn't necessarily have those outcomes.
Instead, researchers found that automatic, excessive praise for intelligence and correct performance could weaken children's intrinsic learning motivation. It distracted them from focusing on the activity that prompted the praise. They lost interest in the activity for its own sake, and kept working only as long as the teacher did the "motivating" for them by giving approval. The motivation shifted toward getting more praise, rather than getting the satisfaction from learning that actually strengthens self-worth.
Carol Dweck's studies (2006, pp. 170–180) uncovered another significant aspect of learning motivation: one that applies to adults, as well as children. It is whether an individual believes that intelligence is a permanent, unchanging quality, or that intelligence is a potential which can develop and grow. A "fixed-intelligence" believing child, who is praised for intelligence and good performance, associates being smart with being worthy. A lot is at stake if this child's performance slips, and some part of learning doesn't come easily. Doubts about being smart and worthy creep in. It seems safer, then, to avoid a challenging activity, because in this view, "only people who aren't smart have to work hard to learn." The challenging problems aren't seen as opportunities to learn more, and the child's performance suffers.
In contrast, the child who believes intelligence can grow, and who is helped to work more effectively, is likely to tackle challenges and grow smarter! When these children's efforts are encouraged after a setback, they are helped to focus on the process of their work. They stay with the activity because they are trying to understand something new, and become more competent. They are empowered to learn.
Alfie Kohn (2006) helps us resist the chorus of excessive praise. He points out that even though praise is positive, it is a judgment. It isn't necessary to constantly judge children in order to encourage them. Instead, he suggests joining with them to celebrate their accomplishments, by giving nonjudgmental feedback on what they are doing.
Differences between encouraging feedback and pointless praise are illustrated in the table below.
When children invest their attention deeply in an activity and achieve a meaningful result, or when they go beyond what is expected of them and uncover something new, they grow. They feel the joy of meeting a challenge. These rewarding feelings of increased personal competence are the genuine sources of intrinsic learning motivation.
Pointless Praise Versus Encouraging Feedback
Situation | Pointless Praise | Versus Encouraging Feedback |
Amelia checks her seed-sprouting jar. She exclaims, "My sprouts have leaves!" | "Aren't you smart?" | "It's exciting to see that happen." |
Jake beams with joy when he gets two loads balanced on the scale. | "Good job!" | "It feels great to finally get both sides even!" |
Nina reports doing yesterday's light-bending experience a new way at home. It worked! | "Superscientist!" | "You kept exploring and figured out something new!" |

Patrick Egan
Senior Business Development Manager
Two passions
After graduating from Commerce at Queen's University, Patrick decided a career down the traditional business road was not for him. Choosing to pursue a different path in order to satisfy his three favorite areas of interest: entrepreneurship, small business and the not-for-profit sector, Patrick found himself at a small consulting company serving NPO's as a sales consultant, which eventually led him to his new home at Artez, joining the team in August of 2009. Since then Patrick's responsibilities consist of working with the Business Development Team by connecting with Not-For-Profit organizations throughout North America and educating, and exciting them about online fundraising opportunities. A master at the Artez solution, Patrick communicates the features and benefits of the Artez system and is a key player in getting new organizations on board with the Artez way. According to Patrick "The Artez Solution is not just software, but rather a tool that is helping not-for-profit organizations 'make the world a better place'"
An avid volleyball player, Patrick has been involved in planning an annual Volleyball tournament which proceeds go towards our close friends (and neighbors!), Athletes for Africa. In his spare time, apart from organizing awesome volleyball tournaments and rocking Artez's world, Patrick can be found racing in Triathlons (on his 3rd now!) and cheering on Canadian sports teams…minus hockey. Sorry hockey lovers.

Home to long-mid gradient climbs and well-maintained relatively traffic free roads Mallorca is a paradise for many cyclists. A haven for both holiday makers and various professional and amateur cycling teams during the off season, Mallorca is famed in the cycling world.
If you and the family or some friends are thinking of looking for a cycling holiday this year, then pack up your cycling clothing and head to Mallorca – it could be your ideal destination. Here is all you need to know.
It's likely that you'll fly into Palma as there are many budget airlines offering flights here from the UK. To get the best cycling, however, you'll need to look further afield from the capital and head out to the hilly north and western regions of the island. Just in from the Tramuntana mountain range is where you'll find the best cycling, but there is much on offer throughout the island. It's really up to you.
What to take with you
Obviously you'll need are your cycling gear. If you're happy to take your own bike you can, but don't be worried if not as there are a number of fantastic outlets offering everything from bikes for kids to the top of the range road and mountain bikes. Many of them also run cycling tours, which are definitely worth checking out.
Wherever you go is of course up to you, but we'd recommend basing yourself in Port de Pollenca sitting on the northern tip of the island. It's just an hour's drive from Palma and has a great option for a quiet relaxing coastal route to Port d'Alcudia, or something a little more testing. The 5km climb out to the most northern point of the island – Cap de Formentor – is a personal favourite. Making your way onto the peninsula you'll find 400m high cliff tops with some of the best views of the island. Things can get a little hairy, but it's well worth it.
You'll also find some amazing climbs in the Serra de Tramuntana range, such as the Coll de'Honor.
It's no secret that this Spanish island has fantastic weather with the top temperatures in the summer months averaging out at around 31°C. That may be great for lying on the beach and soaking up the rays, but it doesn't always make those steep hill climbs that enjoyable. If you're going in the midst of summer the morning is always the best time to ride, whereas you might find it a little more bearable on the hot roads in the spring.
If you're a budding cyclist, Mallorca should be next on your list.

Air Charter may not necessarily be a new concept when it comes to air travel; however, nowadays it has become easier to charter flights with more professionals coming into the business.
It is no longer a tedious process to charter your own flight, whatever the requirement may be, whether for business purposes or private travel. Enlist the help of professionals to help you source the correct aircraft for your needs and guarantee you the most competitive rates.
Professionals in the business are dedicated to providing the maximum service possible and will ensure that the process happens smoothly. They will look into such details as on board meals, other requirements and assist with the details at the destination airport.
Air charter allows you to rent an entire aircraft and avoid the normal check in process procedures and commercial airports. It allows for immediate flight and reduced travel time, which is why many companies now prefer to charter flights for their business travel.
The type of aircraft needed can vary from cargo planes, to jets to passenger aircraft to helicopters, depending on the requirement of the client. Unlike commercial flights, air charter is relatively worry free and minimizes the stress of air travel.
If the help of dedicated professionals is enlisted then they will ensure that the budget and other requirements of the client are paramount when chartering an aircraft. They will handle all the relevant details of the flight and the necessities of the passengers during the flight.
Charter flights help passengers remain fresh and relaxed which is why many business travellers opt for it when travelling for conferences and business meetings. It helps them remain alert and able to attend a meeting immediately without the usual jet lag.
It is especially beneficial if there are multiple meetings to attend in varying countries. The normal airport check in procedure and luggage collection are not applicable easing the travel process further, as long delays at the airport can be avoided. Another benefit is that an aircraft can be chartered at relatively short notice and is therefore ideal for sudden and urgent travel needs or cargo transportation.
The sheer flexibility of charter flights is the strength of their popularity, as people can travel the globe in ease and comfort. Professionals in the industry will be able to source the most suitable aircraft depending on the size of the travel group, the length of the travel and if they require luxury travel or a more basic flight.
SkySearch is ideal for business or urgent travel needs. SkySearch provides charter flights, which is an ideal way to travel the world at your own pace.

Recipe by ROQUEMOMA
"A rich dark chocolate ice cream."
Watch video tips and tricks
6 (1 ounce) squares bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 cup 2% milk
2 cups creme fraiche
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Delicious & ultra easy! Blenderizing the (Ghirardelli 70% Cacao) chocolate speckled tiny bits of chocolate throughout, which melt in the mouth. I think that combining maple syrup & vanilla with the classic pairing of chocolate & creme fraiche produces an exquisite flavor ~ everyone loved it. I didn't have enough creme fraiche, so I made this using 1/2 creme fraiche & 1/2 low-fat milk. This still made the ice cream rich & delightful, & with enough fat content that the ice cream was easily scooped immediately upon removal from the freezer (i.e., it wasn't rock hard). We all thought that IF I were to change this recipe, adding coconut would be a good addition. Highly recommended!
This is delicious! I made a half batch to use up some creme fraiche and next time I'll be buying some just to make this!
4 Ratings
I love creme fraiche so I was expecting to really enjoy this recipe, but unfortunately the flavor was too strong for me. It was too sour for an ice cream. But it didn't help that I don't have an Ice cream machine (never the less, the flavor wasn't right).
love love dark chocolate and this is it I also added dark chocolate chips it was awsome make it twice I am not a big sweet lover but this icecream is great

Among the fallout from the Haditha incident is yet another example of how the NY Times is completely unable to conceptualize the USA at war except via atrocities committed by American troops. It is a fact of human cognition that one can rarely think of an abstract concept like "war", but instead thinks of various reified archetypes of the concept. People with clue have a set of archetypes that contrast in order to better illuminate the essence of the concept. For example, the concept "color" would have archetypes in various colors, rather than just a particular shade of red.
On the other hand, there is the NY Times staff. Its members seemsto have as theid set of archetypes for the "America at War" concept just one — My Lai. It does take much imagination (but apparently more thanthe NY Times staff can muster) to see how limited and distorting that is. But it does explain why that staff latches on to incidents like Haditha because it seems to be the only way they can actually think about the war. The one bright side is that this shows that no matter how disparaging one is about the NY Times, they can still manage to render it not hyperbole.
Sources —
Gateway Pundit has a good selection of quotes from the NY Times illustrating this narrow thinking focused on selecting the "defining atrocity" of the Iraq invasion. Of course, a "defining instance" is simply the single archetype that represents the concept and only an American committed atrocity can do that for the Times. The near endless series of atrocities committed by the Caliphascists is, for the Times, simply irrelevant background, not defining of anything.
The Democracy Project has this indicting quote about Investigating Officer Ware
Mr. Solis said, "we're left with what appear to be very reduced charges." He added: "He's aggressive, and he seems to make his judgments without regard for anything but the law.
As the author notes, the Times treats this as an indictment, rather than praise. I agree that it ends up being an indictment, not of Ware but of the NY Times.

February 6, 2010 An Illinois Democrat with ethical problems? Perish the thought
Only a matter of hours after voters in Tuesday's Illinois Democratic Primary had elected Scott Lee Cohen to be their nominee for Lt. Governor, the party was in full crisis mode. It seems that the Chicago pawn broker has a rather checkered past to say the least. The day after the election The Chicago Tribune reported.
police and court records from an October 2005 incident show that Cohen's then-girlfriend alleged he put a knife to her throat and pushed her head against a wall. Public records show that the woman, his 24-year-old girlfriend at the time, pleaded guilty to prostitution that same month. It seems that prior to the election nobody in the Democrat party or the media had bothered to find out anything about Mr. Cohen. In all fairness, Lt. Governor is not a very high profile office in most states. In Illinois it has been over a year since Democratic Governor Rod Blagojevich was removed from office, impeached and replaced with then Lt. Governor Pat Quinn. What are the odds that something similar could happen again? Mr. Blagojevich was the first Illinois governor to be impeached, although three of the state's former governors in the past half century were sent to prison after they left office. Many Illinois Democrats are having buyer's remorse now that they are learning about the man they voted for (sound familiar?). Still you have to give Scott Lee Cohen credit for running a good campaign, his aggressive use of direct mail, staging of job fairs, TV and radio spots more than made up for any lack of substantive information about his background and fitness for office. But new disclosures showed that even as Cohen was spending more than $2 million of his own money to run TV and radio ads for his campaign, his ex-wife in December was accusing him in court of being $54,000 behind in child support payments. As further details about Mr. Cohen's troubled past including incidents of steroid use, spousal abuse and particulars about his messy divorce in 2005 have been revealed, his running mate and current Illinois Governor Pat Quinn said that he had "an obligation to step aside." Following in the footsteps of former Governor Rod Balgojevich Cohen has vowed to fight on and made his case for remaining on the ticket. I'm the guy that's going to help the governor to come up with these creative ways to bring in revenue. What can anyone expect from the state which gave us Barack Obama? Phil email@example.com |

EUREKA - A standing-room-only crowd packed the Farm Bureau Auditorium in Eureka last Monday morning to share its thoughts with US Representative Aaron Schock at his "Coffee with the Congressman" session, one of a series of "Town Hall-style" meetings being held throughout the 18th Congressional District. The attendance seemed to belie the current claim that the public is apathetic and uninterested in the political scene. Past meetings of a similar nature have frequently been much smaller. Individual voters, elected and appointed public officials and representatives of schools, colleges and professions and businesses were seen in the audience. Photo by Jerry Riley

Match 1: Dinastía & Octagoncito vs Mini Histeria & Mini Psicosis
Lienzo Charro de Pachuca, Hidalgo, 04/01/2012
Winner: rudos
Match Time: 9:32
Rating: good
Notes: Mini Psicosis has his belt. Dinastia seems to be back to an improved version of his original outfit. Jesus' announcement is suddenly cut off here. Entrance music is way off in the background. Pepe Casas is ref.
Dinastia does a worm roll to warm up. He starts with Histeria, and is super quick on chain wrestling. Standing moonsault gets one, and Dinastia just flips back to his feet to that, then springboards into a flip. Exchange of armdrags, Dinastia ducks under one and kicks Histeria in the side of head. Psicosis storms in, but Dinastia ignores him as he celebrates. Tag to Octagoncito. Psicosis tosses Octagoncito onto the mat, just to set up the kip ups and armdrag. Psicosis stops Octagón for a moment with an armdrag, but Octagoncito flips out of a headlock and comes back with a rope flip armdrag. Out goes Psicosis, Octagoncito fakes the dive and flips in the ring. Histeria waiting to fight him, but Octagón has to post first, then headscissors Histeria out. To Dinastia and Psicosis, Psicosis pausing the new kid with a chop, only for Dinastia to turn a headlock in the headscissors. Psicosis slips in a kick and double underhooks Dinastia. Octagon rushes in to break it up, and somehow only wheel kicks his partner. I guess Psicosis stood Dinastia at the last second. Not used to seeing it that way. Histeria comes into help, and to promotion as if he was going to tie Octagon's mask to the top rope. Dropkick instead. Dinastia runs in swinging wildly, accomplishes little. Double chop for him, and a double boot out. Octagoncito slapped around. Whip, clothesline misses, but the rudos still drop him with a rebound double hiptoss. Dropkick out. Dinastia come in with his own dropkick, but misses. Whip, Psicosis side backbreaker, Histeria flying legdrop. Octagoncito's turn, rudos clip him from behind and kick him in the head. Corner whip, Octagoncito moves, Psicosis crotches himself in the corner on a dropkick, and Histeria knocks down his partner with a chop. Octagoncito quebradoras Histeria for good measure. Octagoncito fires up the crowd and gives Histeria another. Rudos retreat for a bit. Psicosis back in, leapfrogging over Octagón and posing, while Octagon is ready to go. Octagón flips out of a heel trip, headscissors Psicosis, dropkick to the knee, and – I think Octagón is waiting for something he doesn't get, and just picks Psicosis back up. Corner whip is reversed, Psicosis misses his corner, Octagóncito flips out over him armdrag, spinning armdrag, springboard plancha to the floor. Dinastia and Histeria back in, jumping around. Off the ropes, Dinastia over with a front flip on to his feet, kip under a clothesline, handwalk over a roll, handspring shoved away, Histeria a clothesline misses, back bend headscissors sends Histeria to the ropes. Dinastia kips up back to his feet, rolls, ducks lefts and rights, punches Histeria and heel kicks him .Dinastia is a fan of the heel kick. Dinastia boost off Histeria's back to get to the ropes, Histeria looks around, charge, Dinastia does the splits and Histeria throws himself out. Dinastia jogs in place and hops around , then runs – inside springboard rope turning single tornillo plancha. Long to say and tough to do but not as visually impressive as I was expecting. Octagon dropkicks and backdrops Psicosis around. Top rope springboard moonsault is Delta-ish, landing hard on the legs. Psicosis escapes at 1.5. Corner whip, Octagoncito charge in, Psicosis tosses Octagón behind, Octagoncito hits the post. Psicosis scoops him up, and drops him with a sit down piledriver. Totally illegally, Pepe Casas counts three.
Announcers try to say that was a Michinoku Driver. It may have been a bad one, actually, I'll go with it.
Match 2: Aerostar, Argenis, Atomic Boy vs Ángel Mortal, Gallego, Gran Apache
Lienzo Charro de Pachuca, Hidalgo, 04/01/2012
Winner: n/a
Match Time: n/a
Rating: n/a
Notes: Diabolicos have chairs. And matching t-shirts! Tirantes is ref. Técnico team is announced as Real Fuerza Aerea, why not. Aerostar has the fire can, Argenis has his Karonte shirt. Atomic Boy needs a prop.
Argenis and Angel Mortal mat wrestle for 50 seconds, the show goes to break, and the match is never shown again.
Match 3: Drago, Fenix, Joe Lider vs Dark Dragon, Decnnis, Octagón
Lienzo Charro de Pachuca, Hidalgo, 04/01/2012
Winner: Drago, Fenix, Joe Lider
Match Time: 9:28
Rating: good
Notes: Decnnis wearing the helmet and a military vest again, so the whole bit of him joining the Maniacos has been forgotten. Octagon gets his own entrance. Piero is ref.
Octagon gets in a clean shot on Drago to start the match, but he turns a triple team move into a double DDT on the lesser rudos. Octagón again stops Drago with a shot to the back, but his panters double clothesline him out by mistake. Drago takes are of the others with a headscissors and an armdrag. Fenix's turn, but the same format – Octagon stuns the técnico with a clean shot, but things backfire when Dark Dragon comes in to help. Fenix pulls out a double rotation backspin headscissors on Decnnis, which looks pretty neat. Dark Dragon throws his usual rival up in the air so he can come down with a flipping 'rana. Lider and Octagón have an even strike exchange, and Lider is able to armdrag Octagon out without any help from the other rudos. Phone number to contact AAA is up on the screen for roughly 2 seconds, with two different numbers. Dragon stops Lider's run with a pumphandle powerbomb, but Fenix rushes into kick him in the head and drop him via inverted 'rana. Decnnis clocks Fenix with the helmet and celebrates. Decnnis then puts the helmet on, and does about two steps off Alex Koslov's Russian dance before doing his own dance move. That's odd. Cradle DDT to a pin, but Drago breaks it up and clocks Decnnis with a helmet. The two run into each other on accident on an evasion bit, but Drago drops Decnnis with a swinging neckbreaker. Octagons breaks up the pin. Octagon suplexes Drago while falling backwards, then just leaves as the rudos beat up Lider again. Decnnis smacks Lider hard with the helmet, then the lesser rudos slam Lider on the apron. I know it hurts more, not sure if the people watching this really appreciate it. Flapjack for Fenix, Decnnis ties him in a suspended bow and arrow, and Dragon crushes Fenix with a double stomp. Missile dropkick and a two man powerbombs for Fenix. Decnnis actually covers, but Drago kicks out at two. Whip for Lider, head down too soon, Lider kicks Octagon and dropkick Dark Dragon. Boot for Decnnis head to send him out. Off al the técnicos here, Lider is going to dive? Well, no – he goes thru the ropes for a tope, but Decnnis kicks him. Inside, Drago holds Dragon in an inverted facelock for a Fenix dropkick. Decnnis on the apron, but Drago kicks him off and dives on top of him and Lider with a top rope tornillo. That looks very good. Dragon throws himself out going after Fenix, Fenix poses, runs, comes back and pulls off the fosbery flop tornillo. I don't know he does that. Back to Lider and Octagon, Octagon spinning armdrag reverse into a front cracker one two NO. Octagón carefully back suplexes Lider into a faceslam and does a happy dance! Dark Dragon jumps on the apron to argue with Piero – oh, because La Parka is here and fouling Octagón. Lider climbs on top, and Piero turns around to count three.
Match 4: Chessman, Silver King, Último Gladiador vs Máscara Año 2000 Jr., Texano Jr., Toscano
Lienzo Charro de Pachuca, Hidalgo, 04/01/2012
Winner: Consejo
Match Time: 13:48
Rating: good
Notes: Semental is with his team. Mascara grabs the microphone before the other team arrives, declaring they're the real wrestlers and those guys are the clowns. Mascara points out he beat Wagner in his house in front of his fans, and demands a singles match with Wagner to prove they're better. He's cut off by Chessman's music, but still finishes his challenge. Chessman runs at Consejo and gets pounded. Texano hears Smells Like Teen Spirit playing and rushes to cut off Gladiador & Silver King. Tirantes trails out behind as the ref. Texano tosses Gladiador over the rail as the whistle blows.
Semental freely helps, though from the outside, as Consejo stays in control. Corner charges and the Skándalo low blow dropkick for Gladiador. Triple boot for Silver. Soft chair shot for Chessman. Texano is the guy you want to be hitting you with a chair in this group, for sure. Silver crotched on the post, then brought in to be kicked around more. Rudos all hold Silver King to pose him – away from the camera, oops. The handheld camera shows Consejo kipping up Silver King's mask. I wonder what he looks like! Anyway. Consejo keep the other guys out, but Silver King makes his own comeback after the rudos put their heads down too soon. Chessman yanks out Máscara while Silver hits the other two and Gladiador adds a springboard dropkick. Revenge brawling all around. Silver smacks Semental with a chair while he's chasing Texano. Texano brought in, and Chessman hits in the head with a chair. Chessman is not the guy you want hitting you with a chair. Silver his Máscara in the back with one, then Gladiador pulls off Mascara's shirt for another shot to the back. Rudos keep the ring clear so Silver can rip at Mascara's mask. Corner charges for him include a leg lariat from Chessman and boosted dropkick from Gladiador. Toscano tries to claim a foul on a slap to the face. I don't know how that works! Everyone goes to their corner from there. Silver and Texano stand in for quick hitting Silver King bits. Texano is able to stop him with an enziguri, but they just get up and exchange forearms of questionable merit and a Silver King punch that looks a lot better. Texano chops him down, but Silver King runs over him with a shoulderblock for two. Silver knocks Texano back it the corner, back elbows Toscano away, and clotheslines Toscano as he bulldogs Texano. Silver kicks Toscano in the corner and then oddly rolls out. I think Chessman doesn't quite realize they want him in, but figures it out after a moment. Toscano clotheslines around the Maniacos. Gladiador in, and Mascara tagged in. Mascara cuts off Ultimo via back elbow. Forearms to the back. Mascara clothesline misses, UG gives him a enziguri kick to the back. Hard shot slap to the back. Gladiador ask the crowd if they want more, does not give them. Next rope exchange ends with a Mascara falling clothesline. He jumps up to celebrate, and Gladiador dropkicks him into the ropes. 619 out, springboard – uh, nothing, he lost his footing and dropped down outside the ring. Máscara rushes out and back elbows him, which a good cover. Toscano and Silver King come over and slap each other hard while Máscara and UG put things back together. Both back in, UG dropkicks Mascara out, goes for a dive, Texano tries to stop him, UG swing kicks him away, then Asai top rope tornillos both of them. Chessman and Silver knocks down Toscano, whip, nice two man press slam bomb. Texano arrives to break it up. Chessman charge, Texano spins him around into a Tornado DDT. Texano Michinoku Drivers on Silver too. Tirantes goes down to count, but then will not. Texano is bleeding, or his face is just very red for the last few minutes. Probably since that chair shot. Everyone back up, Consejo run into each other, Manaicos quick cradles, quick count one two no. Semental argues from outside, though I don't know why he bothers. Consejo clothesline the Maniacos, climb the ropes, and miss flying headbutts. Chessman goes up and flying legs dropkicks, while Silver puts a casita on Texano. That gets two. Chessman puts Toscano in a tirabuzón, and Silver pus Toscano in a crossface. Gladiador and Mascara back in, Gladiador front cracker one two Gladiador seems to stop covering, because Mascara doesn't kick out. Gladiador tries the sit down piledriver and blows it falling backwards because he can't get that big of a guy up, I guess. Hombre en Negro is out, walking then running to the ring. Tirantes and Gladiador both cut him off the apron, and somehow don't notice him slipping the cane in to Mascara. Mascara hits Chessman, Silver, Gladiador ducks, so Máscara fouls him. One two three.
Match 5: Cibernético, El Mesías, Zorro vs Halloween, Héctor Garza, Nicho el Millionario
Lienzo Charro de Pachuca, Hidalgo, 04/01/2012
Winner: no finish, though it probably should be a DQ for the técnicos.
Match Time: 9:36
Rating: ok
Notes: Notable, Halloween is wearing a proper Perros del Mal shirt. Mesías wears his title to the ring. Perros appear to play ring around the rosie as the match starts. Ref is Piero.
Zorro starts by tossing Nicho around. Halloween comes in to help, but Garza accidentally stomps him. They argue (in between Garza stripping), but hug and appear to be friends. Halloween takes friendly fire again with Cibernético in, a chop form Nicho and a running kick from Garza. Garza and Nicho seem sadder about it this week. Garza sneaks in a slap on Mesías to bring him in. Garza doesn't last long. Halloween exchange chops with Mesías, sneaks in an eye poke and a superkick on the run. Mesías comes back with a flying clothesline and a leg DDT. Mesías always likes adding new moves, though that one looked off. Nicho and Mesías kick each other until Mesías drops Nicho with a Rock Bottom for two. Rudos start their beatdown there. No real reason, I guess Mesías had gotten all his offense in. Catapult hold/legdrop for Zorro. Kick to the head for Cibernético. Mesías leaps over a Halloween spear, and Halloween charges into a Zorro cane shot to start the comeback. Cibernético spear does not look great but Nicho takes a heck of a bump. Garza begs off, Mesías drops him with a backcracker. Cibernético stomps and chops Nicho and Halloween at the same time, but Piero's talking to Zorro and missing Garza foul him. Zorro rushes over to attack Garza, but it's a bit late. Halloween geo to work on Cibernético's forehead on the outside. Mesías and Garza end up back in (clip) and Garza powerslams Mesías before looking around. Teddy Hart is out, but he's just a distraction for Perro Aguayo Jr. to come out of the crowd and stomp Mesías. Piero tries to stop it, and Perro (with a big kneebrace over his jeans) kicks him away. Rudos trap Mesías left arm in a chair. Teddy stomps it, then Perro hits it with another chair. Is there a finish here? Perros have laid out the other guys, but keep attacking Mesías' right arm. Taya Valkyrie is at ringside, but not acknowledged. Another clip here, so let's call it.
Halloween introduces Perro Aguayo Jr., who talks about being Rey de Reyes. Taya brought the sword out, and Perro carries on. Perro tells Mesías to listen, even as they keep stomping him – he wants a chance at the AAA title for winning Rey de Reyes. Perro welcomes Halloween back and says he'll forever be a Perro del Mal. Perro introduces Taya as the first female member of Perros del Mal, and then gives a shirt to Teddy Hart. Shirt is about three sizes too small, but he's happy to have it. Halloween takes the camera and films the crew, though we never get that shot. Clip to the Perros posing together and the doctor checking on Mesías.
