It may seem appalling to those not familiar with the voting system for American Idol but the current structure provides no security check to ensure that the voter is an American citizen. In fact, a voter can not only be a non-citizen resident of this country, they can be an illegal alien! There is a very key word in the show title- American.' It's not Mexican Idol' and it surely isn't Chinese Idol.' There is a second key word in the title- Idol.' The chosen victor should represent someone who is idolized by the God-fearing, hard working people of this fair nation. The United States of America.
This glitch has clearly had an influence on the previous winners of the show. Ruben Studdard is described as an Alabama native, but it may surprise readers that Alabama's favorite son was actually born in Frankfurt, Germany! More like Nazi Idol.' It would not be out of line to suspect that his success on the show was greatly influenced by the illegal German aliens living in America, stealing American jobs, eating our food, and now choosing who we must idolize in the field of vocal abilities. The founders of this great nation did not create the constitution so that it could be desecrated by foreigners. The honorable men and women serving in the armed forces and protecting our way of life are risking their lives to preserve the integrity of various aspects of our society, including the freedom to choose our idol. The idea that those without citizenship or any legal rights to be here can vote for American Idol removes any value from the citizenship that the rest of us hold dear. Our citizenship is rendered worthless if it allows us no advantage to elect whom we most feel has the voice, the look, and that special something else which we feel is most deserving of the admiration of America.
These people have broken the law and now we are allowing them to participate in our pop culture elections. It is a disgrace to our way of life and the entire concept of democracy. This is complete lawlessness. Without checking documentation, we could be letting Al-Qaeda through the phone lines and giving them the option to select an Islamofascist pop vocalist for the American public to revere. I sincerely hope this is simply an egregious mistake and not an outright siding with the Terrorists.
I tried to give Fox the benefit of the doubt and assumed this was merely an act of negligence and not outright Anti-Americanism and wrote the following letter:
From: firstname.lastname@example.com
Sent: Wed 2/27/08 4:23 PM
To: email@example.com
To Whom It May Concern,
As a citizen of this great nation it concerns me that there are no security measures in place to ensure that only American Citizens are given the right to vote for THEIR Idol. I don't know if this must have been an overlooked issue as creating and maintaining a voting system can be an arduous task but I hope you have not become overwhelmed to the point where the security of our country's opinions are placed in jeopardy. Now that I have brought this to your attention, I would like to inquire the security measures which you plan on implementing so that this situation is resolved.
Thank You For Your Time,
A Concerned American
Unfortunately I was mistaken. Fox seemed to show as little regard for my email as they do for the American spirit. If I ever do receive a reply, it will more than likely be written in Spanish or Hindi and I won't be able to read it anyway. Fox clearly has no plans to beef up security and protect our way of life.

BRIDGEWATER, Va. – The Bridgewater College men's soccer team evened its season record at 1-1 with a 2-1 victory Wednesday over Southern Virginia University in non-conference action.
After a pair of storm delays that pushed the start time back more than one hour, the Eagles had a chance to take the lead early in the game.
The Eagles were awarded a corner in the third minute of play and Zach Hosler rifled a shot toward goal. The shot deflected off a defender and then bounced off the post. Logan McGlynn then got a foot on the rebound but his shot sailed high as the Knights dodged the early barrage.
The two teams battled to a scoreless tie for the remainder of the first half, but the Eagles came out firing in the second half and got on the board early, scoring in the 52nd minute.
The Eagles had a throw in from the near sideline and Kevin Gorman tracked down the ball near the end line. Gorman flicked a pass to McGlynn and the BC freshman punched the ball into the open goal for a 1-0 Eagles lead.
The Eagles added their second goal in the 67th minute with some nifty passing against the Knights team that was playing a man down due to a red card moments after BC's first goal. Gerard Miniaci flicked a pass ahead to a streaking Sawyer Janes and Janes beat the keeper from close range for a 2-0 BC lead.
Despite playing a man down, the Knights started to pressure the Eagles defense late in the game. The visitors made it a one-goal game when Zac McCulloch headed in a pass from Nathaniel Sellis, making the score 2-1.
The Eagles escaped with the win as the Knights just missed a potential tying shot in the final minute. Southern Virginia had a corner kick with the clock approaching the one minute mark. Kyle Tyree put a shot on goal, but his attempt hit the crossbar and the Eagles ran off the final seconds to claim the 2-1 victory.
Bridgewater held a 19-12 edge in shot attempts while the Knights owned a slim 5-4 advantage in corners.
Eagles' goalie TJ Martin finished with five saves to record his first win of the season.
Bridgewater returns to action this weekend at the St, Mary's (Md.) Seahawk Invitational with games against St. Mary's and Salisbury.

Re: WWE 2006 & Beyond by DDMac
Renegade Reviews No Mercy
Opening video was very good. You are quite good at producing these
London/Kendrick vs Shelton/Helms
Looks like we are gonna start the show with a potential show stealer with these four in the ring. Was a good, quick paced encounter and Shelton & Helms really did work well together, makes me wonder if maybe you're gonna keep them as a team together on SD! The ending was done at a frantic pace, and a nice win for the champs to retain with a rollup after evading the Shining Wizard.
Batista is here, I don't think it'll be his night, as I hate seeing him as champ and I think you'll have Angle hold the strap until SS
Kane vs Lashley
Meh I'm not gonna expect much from this, even though it's between two fairly good workers for their size. Found it kinda hard to get into, Kane went for the Chokeslam mighty early. Both men show their toughness and kick out of some match winners normally, and then Lashley romps home with a trifecta of power moves and secures the victory. Nothing fancy, just a bogged down big man match.
Desension in the ranks of the King's Court? Finlay could leave soonish as he doesn't really fit with the others
Matt Hardy vs Rey
I'm pulling for Hardy, just because I dislike Rey on a large scale. This was alot better than the match it preceeded, and Hardy was on fire but he just couldn't finish Rey off, as Mysterio kept alive and kicking. He even manages to kick out despite Hardy hooking the tights. Hardy batters Rey with the chair and then Chavo tries to make the save only to get a chair shot too. He's DQ'd! Eh, thought something better might come from this IMO, still for what it was, decent match.
Hardy continues the assault on Rey, beating him senseless with the chair. Rey might be out for a few weeks
Angle talking it up, he'll retain, should be a brutal matchup to say the least
Chris Daniels vs Sabin
Not too keen on two TNA cruisers in this thread hogging all the CW spotlight. Turned out into a very good cruiserweight match with both men going all out for the win, surprised to see Sabin kick out of the Last Rites and Daniels out of the Running Powerbomb, seeing as how both can easily be match winners. Allison Danger? Eh, who the fuck? She distracts Sabin and Daniels turns heel with a low blow and then nails the Angels Wings for the win. It seems like Danger could be siding with Daniels after this.
LMAO at the last line from Hunter, gold. Seems like Steph is already asserting her heel persona around the place
HHH vs Finlay
Much better match here, the physicallity was awesome and it really was a brawl mixed with some good wrestling. Finlay outsmarting the ref after losing the chair and attacking Trips with the Shillelagh was genious, and then isolating the knee was a good move. Triple H even got back dropped through the announcer's table and managed to keep going, Finlay gets the Celtic Cross but The Game kicked out! Wow, that makes Finlay's finisher look a tad weak but makes Trips look even stronger. Uh-oh, ref is flattened accidentally by Triple H. Finlay takes full advantage and low blows HHH, but the ref is gone as Triple H hits the Pedigree! Ref still down, and Finlay hits Trips with the Shillelagh! What a steal for Finlay here, big win for the Irishman.
The Rock going through the motions until Trips walks in front of him! The tension between these two is building, wonder why The Game smiled after Rock walked off, is he going to screw The Rock over? Hmm...
The Rock vs Booker T
Another good match, following the trend of the previous one. Booker was really taking it to The Rock early on which was surprising, but Rock got back into it only to get the Scissors Kick! Rock kicks out, then Booker kicks out of the Rock Bottom! Don't believe that, how. People's Elbow, and Sharmell takes out the ref. Regal attempts to help beat on The Rock but gets a Rock Bottom! Now Finlay is coming with his Shillelagh, but here comes The Game with his Sledgehammer! O boy, he's gonna either intenionally or un-intentionally drill The Rock with it. NO! He hits Booker, thank God. Rock scores with a second Peeps Elbow and wins it!
Daniels is not a popular man backstage and nor he should be, the way he outsmarted everyone in the locker room with the help of Allison Danger (WTF?)
Kennedy vs Cena
Man it's almost as bad as when Cena went to ONS II, the fans are booing the shit outta him. Cena is all over Kennedy here, and the crowd are not happy about it. Man this is turning out into a better and better match, Meatpacker can't put Cena away who is still getting booed heavily. It's almost relentless lol. Kennedy hits Cena with an FU! What an insult. Kennedy however misses the Kenton, what a waste, he should've covered Cena. STFU! No, amazingly Kennedy got to the ropes, I thought he was gonna tap out....tap out....lol. Eh Kamikaze always looks weak when done, not surprised to see Cena kick out of that. And from no where, after being pretty much dominated, Cena pulls out a Superman performance with an FU to put Kennedy down.
Cena shows no sportsmanship for Kennedy, which was a shock to see Kennedy actually extend his hand in the first place
Michael Buffer doing the intro's? Can't see that in the WWE really, feels so WCWish
Angle vs Batista
Angle getting in Batista's head right from the off, slapping him twice! What a way to piss him off. Lots of "Fuck" coming from the mouth of Big Dave early on, keeping with his brash new Animalistic personality. Didn't expect Angle to be so dominant early on, but Batista rolls through the Ankle Lock and we are going outside, which normally begins the spots. Belly to Belly against the barricade would kill. ANGLE GOES OFF THE STAGE! Holy crap that was quick, this one could be over already! Steph orders the match to continue. Man this doesn't look good for Angle as Batista destroys the backstage security to get to him. Batista stopped the count? Not enough punishment done yet it seems. Angle begins to fight back, a couple of Germans before he's stopped dead in his tracks with another low blow! The Angle Slam can't put the Champ away, gotta wonder if the table will come into play soon. Angle goes nuts busting Batista open, can he produce a big comeback here and win it? SPINEBUSTER THROUGH THE TABLE! Good god that's nasty, but Angle kicked out! Wow, what a fighting champion. Here come the steel steps and Angle counters, ANKLE LOCK! How did Batista get the ropes? Amazing strength from the Animal. Angle hits a Belly to Belly off the top, but still it doesn't settle it! OMG! Batista Bomb on the steps! Goodnight Kurt, new champion.
Overall, quality PPV Mac. The main event was fucking awesome and the three before it where also great. Tag match was really good, Kane/Lashley was a bore however. All the promos were good.

Re: WWE 2006 & Beyond by DDMac
The Opening of it was quite entertaining and enjoyable
Shelton Benjamin & Gregory Helms vs. The Hooligans
This was a solid opening Tag Team match with lots of close falls but the finsiher could of been better
Kane(c) vs. Bobby Lashley
Ok usually two big men who basically use power moves aint fun but you managed to make it actually interesting and i was suprised that Lashley became the champ
Matt Hardy vs. Rey Mysterio
Good match and i was suprised that Matt would do something like that but if it had to happen Mysterio was a good choice
Chris Sabin(c) vs. Christopher Daniels
I have never seen these guys wrestle but if that is the way they wrestle i wanna see them
Triple H vs. Finlay
An interesting choice of match up and i liked the way they wrestled each other and the way it finished
Rock vs. King Booker
Good match and suprised that HHH came in during the match
John Cena vs. Ken Kennedy
A very good match up but i was just disappointed with the results of it
Kurt Angle-Batista II
A good main event and i enjoyed the whole match and i am glad that Batista is the Heavy weight champion but you had other matches in this pay per view that were better then the main event.
Overall Show Rating: 9/10

Re: WWE 2006 & Beyond by DDMac
Thanks for the No Mercy reviews so far, much appreciated and they will be returned eventually (currently working on Renegade™'s Unforgiven).
On a side note, Allison Danger is the valet for Christopher Daniels in Ring of Honor. I would have posted that before the event but that would have given away the storyline, that started in the
news and notes

All the sudden you're an ROH expert.
Kennedy losing to Cena is retarded but I guess they're both switching rolls since Kennedy extended his hand to Cena which he rejected. I expected Rock to win, same for Batista which means we'll probably get Batista-Angle 3.
Glad you're not going completely with the IWC, and giving Batista the title is a good move.
Things continue to develop between Triple H and The Rock which is always good meaning we'll get a full fledged feud between the two. Lashley wins the title, meh, don't really care but I'm surprised you got a good match out of him and Kane.
Hardy and Mysterio feud continues with the disqualification. Helms sounds like he's injured. Finlay picks up a big win and London/Kendrick retain the titles.
Sorry, for the unorganized thoughts, but I'm doing this off of the top, trying to give you some insight, not pick it apart piece by piece.
Main event between Angle and Batista was definitely the match of the night, but all the matches were good and the other big matches stood out as well. Good job D.
Overall: 9.5/10

Re: WWE 2006 & Beyond by DDMac
No Mercy Review
This is the first PPV of yours Ive read, and I can honestly say that Im really looking forward to the spectacle.
The opening video was brilliant. It didnt disappoint in the slightest, much better than anything we see on WWE Television. Great start to the show, with all men being kept in character. I wish I had of read Summerslam after reading the happenings between Batista and Kurt Angle.
The opening commentary seemed all in order. I dont like Booker being called King of the World, Chris Jericho is the only one of them. Angle v Batista II being the biggest rematch in WWE history may be a bit rich as well, but I can understand Tazz wanting to put over the importance of the match.
Benjamin & Gregory Helms v Paul London & Brian Kendrick
World Tag Team Championships
Smart choice to open the show here in my opinion, with a match that could potentially be the best of the show. I like the pairing of Shelton & Helms, its something different, and thats good to see. I enjoyed this a lot, it was written well, it flowed nicely and you had both teams working together well. The end was great, enjoyed it immensely, it was plenty quick and the finish was a good way to keep the feud going with Kendrick winning via a roll up. I have to say that Shelton Benjamin comes out of this one looking particularly strong, you made him look very good. Nice start to the show, personally theres nothing better than a match thats performed at a solid pace like this one to start off a show.
Noting Batistas arrival was a nice touch in my opinion, making a big deal of him turning up is a good thing and for that reason I think hell go over in the Main Event.
I liked the commentary hyping the US Title match, very Tazz-like.
Kane v Bobby Lashley
United States
Firstly, I have to admit man, Im not a fan of Kane as US Champion at all, so I hope he loses, even if it is to Lashley. Im not holding real high hopes for this one, but you never know you might make it good! Im divided with my opinion of the start of this encounter, I thought it was a decent start to the match, but there was a stage there where I thought you were using the word huge too much. There are plenty of other adjectives around. I enjoyed the early exchange between the two from where it went from Kane trying to Chokeslam Lashley, to Lashley bouncing off the ropes, ducking under a clothesline attempt before hitting a Belly to Belly. That would be cool to see in real life, I got an easy image of it in my head which is good. Kane kicks out of the spear well that has him looking plenty strong already. The description you use in your matches is excellent and I like how you go into all the detail of all the moves of the wrestlers, the crowd reactions etc. Kane hits an Enziguri? That would be quite an effort, and something to see, but Im not putting it past him as I know that hes quite agile for a big guy. Wow. The finish absolutely crushed Kane, Lashley comes out looking like a total monster here after that ending. He should get huge rub from this match, he kicked out of some huge power moves as well, furthering his credibility, I guess you can say the same for Kane, but thats about it. Anyway, this one ended up being much better than I expected, you wrote it really well for a big man match and it was good to see Lashley pick up the win, as the US Title goes with him more than it does with Kane. Where now for the Big Red Machine?
I really enjoyed this promo. Booker was very much in his King character, and the same can be said for Finlay. Id say the end is near for the Kings Court though. Great promo.
Rey Mysterio v Matt Hardy
I liked how you put over this match as a big deal to both guys in their entrances and introductions, particularly Mysterio. Decent match up here, but not as good as Id expect from two guys of this calibre. It was a fast paced as expected and it flowed very nicely which is great, but I expected more from this one. Rey looked quite strong, continuously kicking out of all of Hardys signature moves and I think the DQ finish is a good way to prolong the feud. It makes it more personal between the two and it should continue through Survivor Series, perhaps culminating at Survivor Series. Hardy continuing his assault after the match shows his relentlessness, and totally defines him as a heel. There are many better way to have someone get over as a heel than by have them beat the crap out of Rey Mysterio.
Really intense promo from Angle here, hes ready to go. You captured his character very well here and it came across nicely. I still think hell lose.
Chris Sabin v Chris Daniels
Cruiserweight Championship
I have high hopes for this one. Ill be very surprised if Daniels isnt a fully fledged heel by the end of this. Another really quick match, I enjoyed this one a lot. Daniels comes out looking very strong, especially after kicking out so many times, particularly from a running powerbomb. Sabin kicking out of the Cradle Shock as well makes him look a little better despite the loss. Allison Danger surprised me? I didnt read the 3 hours before the event news and notes, but he arrival was unexpected for me. Surprise surprise, Daniels turns heel and picks up the victory, taking the CW Title with him. Great match, I thoroughly enjoyed it and I definitely dont think this ones over.
Austin v JBL will be grand.
Lol. I love Hunter. Short little segment here, but I liked it. Steph is obviously establishing herself as a heel. It was essential for you to point out that Steph is Hunters ex before that last line for it to be totally effective, so well done.
Im expecting the four main events to be long, long matches, since the first four matches have gone for just over 40 minutes between them. Angle-Batista should be quite epic.
Im sick of Tazz saying Rocket Buster lol.
Triple H v Finlay
Ill be shocked if Finlay goes over here. Once again you went into the detail for this one really well, you described the wrestlers actions nicely and portrayed a clear image as to just how physical the match was. Hunter getting back dropped through the announce table was an interesting spot, especially because weve got a No Holds Barred match coming. Hunter kicking out of Finlays finisher makes it look quite weak, but the fact he won made up for it. Triple H still looks quite strong despite the loss as he endured quite a beating, managed to hit the Pedigree and Finlay had to cheat to beat him. HUGE win for Finlay, but Ill be interested to see where you go with both of these guys from here? Anyway, great match here, it was a nice blend of brawling and mat wrestling.
Nice promo from the Rock, he was very much in character. He pulled out some very Rock-Esq lines and got some good involvement from the crowd. More Hunter, their feud continues to build slowly. Could Hunter interfere in the Rocks match? I dont think so, as you seem to be approaching this feud differently, but I wouldnt be surprised to see it. Another great backstage segment here
The Rock v King Booker
Well, I expected Cena v Kennedy now, but I guess Kennedy is the home town boy, so the higher the better I spose. Im surprised by how short you made this actually. I expected it to go longer. Good match up, but another dodgy ending? Man, thats 4 in a row now. Hunter did interfere, but he actually helped Rock, now that was unexpected! Great booking there. I expected Hunter to come out bragging expecting the Rock to thank him or something now. I seriously can see this feud dragging on until Wrestlemania. They could both be involved in a tag match at Survivor Series, they have them involved in a multi man title match or something at Armageddon, have one eliminate the other from the rumble and so on. It could really be a great feud, with a huge culmination and if youre building for Mania this early, then good on ya. Anyway, this was an enjoyable match and I liked the ending, it was great booking for the feud, but I think the dodgy finishes for this PPV are becoming a bit much and I hope someone wins clean between Cena and Kennedy, because god knows what will happen between Angle and Batista.
Good to see Daniels make it back on to the show before the end, giving a bit more hype to his heel turn and making people notice Allison Danger. ROH REPRESENT!
The Kennedy introduction was special. Really, really good. I liked that you pointed out that he got a bigger pop than both the Rock and Hunter. Lol @ Boo the shit out of John Cena. That made me laugh.
John Cena v Ken Kennedy
Brilliant. The crowd interaction was brilliant. The way you involved them and kept referring to them and reiterating how hated Cena is, was excellent. Fuck me. Cena wins. Didnt expect that. Lol. Way to piss off the fans! Lol. Big win for Cena, glad to see it was clean as well. Kennedy looks a little weak after Cena kept kicking out, and Cena busts out a typical superman type feat to win the match. Well, double turn? Or just a tease there. I hope so, a double turn would be sweet! Kennedy hitting the FU on Cena, with his home crowd behind him was great, I could only imagine the type of reaction that would have garnered, it wouldve been priceless to see. Great match, MOTN thus far, largely due to your involvement of the fans and the way you booked Kennedy.
Michael Buffer? Why Michael Buffer? Is he from Green Bay? Anyway, his intros were cool.
I thought you mightve had a promo in between these two matches, but I guess you can say the video package was one.
Kurt Angle v Batista
No Holds Barred, World Heavyweight Championship
WOAH! ANGLE SLAPS HIM TWICE TO KICK THINGS OFF! Angle gets right inside the head of Batista early on. Kurt playing major mind games, obviously trying to put him off his game, with the slaps, and youre doing a good job illustrating that Kurt is doing exactly that by describing Batistas different, frustrated, mannerisms. Woah. Huge spot so early on, with Angle going off the stage. I knew it wouldnt be a no contest, Steph proves once again that shes a bitch. Despite the loss, Angle doesnt look too weak, he endured a hell of a lot and it takes a Batista Bomb on the steel steps to finish it. Great match. Lived up to the hype completely man, it was very well written, very original and very easy to get an image in my mind of. Awesome main event.
Great show. The Main Event was sick, I loved it. The 3 matches before it were all great as well! Your spelling and grammar was fine, there were only a few minimal errors around the place I think. Your promos were awesome too, well done mate!

WWE News and Notes
- It is all but confirmed that SmackDown! will be moving to FX in a very short time frame, as early as two weeks from now. The announcement may come tonight on RAW.
- WWE officials were very happy with the way the No Mercy pay per view came together. As was expected, the Angle-Batista match stole the show along with the dynamic between Triple H and The Rock.
- Right now, Rock vs. Triple H has been penciled in for several different events. When Rock first returned the plan was for the two to wrestle at Survivor Series but now the plan has them taking on each other at WrestleMania. We will keep you updated on this situation as it progresses.
- Even though Mark Henry and Jeff Hardy did not appear on the pay per view, theyre returns to television are scheduled shortly.

Re: WWE 2006 & Beyond by DDMac
I thought a Rock/HHH encounter would eventually pop up, and WM is the best stage for the match to take place, I see The Game turning heel around SS and then having it go from there.
Looking forward to when you post the next show Mac, it's been a while.

. You talked about the move to FX a while ago and I'm looking forward to it. The build up for Triple H and The Rock has been slow but focused but I'm wondering why HHH helped him at the PPV. Looking forward to the next show.

Re: WWE 2006 & Beyond by DDMac
October 9, 2006
Green Bay, Wisconsin
We kick off the night with the "The Legend Killer" Randy Orton, coming down to the ring, looking arrogant as ever. Orton puts over his huge victories the past few months, a win in the first blood against John Cena at SummerSlam, his hard fought victory over Ric Flair at Unforgiven and his win over Chris Benoit last week on RAW. Orton then demands a title shot against the winner of tonight's WWE Title match. Randy calls for Mr. McMahon to come down and give him his title match but … no dice. He waits for several more seconds before …
Ric Flair walks onto the stage and then into the ring, apparently back from his two week mini-vacation since Unforgiven. Flair thanks the fans for welcoming him back and says it feels good to be back on Monday Night RAW. Orton rolls his eyes and seems rather bored as Flair talks about the tremendous privilege that competing in this business that he loves. Orton cuts him off, demanding to know what he wants. Flair states that even though he lost at Unforgiven to Orton, it was the greatest feeling he's had in a long time. Flair says he felt alive again, going toe to toe with the 'new blood', the future of this business. He then challenges Orton to a rematch … tonight! The crowd pops wanting to see that match once more but Randy is not as excited, denying Flair a rematch, stating he has beaten Flair already and has nothing left to prove.
Disappointment fills the arena until Mr. McMahon walks out onto the stage, to a fairly mixed reaction. McMahon says that neither Flair nor Orton run the show, he does, and therefore Orton's WWE Title match has been denied! The crowd cheers as Orton fumes, before McMahon continues. He says that Flair's request for a match with Orton has also been denied, but he has a better idea. "On November 5, at Bad Blood, we will see the legendary, the 'Nature Boy' Ric Flair take on the 'Legend Killer' Randy Orton, oh, but it will not be a regular match … it will be … a SUBMISSION MATCH
(thunderous pop)
!! And the loser will not only be quitting that match but will be quitting Monday nights because the LOSER LEAVES RAW!! The crowd is in shock as McMahon walks into the back, leaving Orton and Flair staring at each other, knowing that one of their days on Monday nights are numbered.
[Commercial Break]
Video package plays putting over the WWE Champion, the "Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels, putting over his many accomplishments. The v.p. closes with a graphic hyping tonight's title match between Michaels and The Undertaker.
John Bradshaw Layfield vs. Charlie Haas
Haas is still clearly in an incredible amount of pain from his beat down at the hands of Umaga last week, and even with that, Haas puts up a valiant effort, hanging with the former champion for a while. Eventually the odds are just too much to overcome as JBL hit's the Clothesline From Hell to pick up the pin at 4:56.
JBL grabs a mic from ringside, as he apparently has something to say. He says that in just under a month's time, he will end the comeback run of Steve Austin before it even gets off of the ground. Bradshaw even goes so far as to guarantee a victory over Stone Cold at Bad Blood. Haas slowly gets up to his feet and JBL seeing this, bounces off the ropes once more and hits him with another Clothesline From Hell! He gives a smirk to the camera before giving the fans the double finger salute to major heat from the crowd as we cut to the back.

In the Rated R Army's locker room, Chris Masters flexes in front of a mirror, impressing himself with his own impressive physique. Lita walks in and asks where Johnny Nitro, Melina and Ken Doane are. Masters is too infatuated with himself to answer so Lita repeats herself and Masters turns around. He tells here that he has no clue where the rest of the 'Army is. Lita says she needs them here because she has bad news, great news and fantastic news. Masters exit's the locker room, going to search for the other members of his team, whom have all had their problems with one another, which have only escalated since Edge walked out on RAW two weeks ago.
[Commercial Break]
Video package plays putting over The Undertaker and his fifteen plus years of dominance. The v.p. closes with a graphic hyping tonight's title match between Michaels and The Undertaker.
Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch vs. America's Most Wanted
w/Gail Kim
Harris and Storm, the World Tag Team Champions, pick up some momentum as champions, picking up a solid win over Cade and Murdoch. The two relative newcomers, hit the Death Sentence on Cade to pick up the pin fall victory at 5:12.
After the match, the #1 contenders for the tag belts, Luther Reigns and Mark Jindrak, run down to the ring as AMW celebrate their victory and attack the champions from behind. Reigns & Jindrak stomp away on AMW and eventually Cade & Murdoch join in on the beat down, gaining a bit of revenge for their lost just suffered. The four men put a beat down on the men for a good four minutes, with Reigns eventually hitting his Rolling Cutter on Harris as Jindrak hit's the Mark Of Excellence on Storm!
[Commercial Break]
Umaga and his manager, Armando Alejandro Estrada come to the ring. AAE grabs a mic and says that the savage streak of Umaga started at Unforgiven with the destruction of the hardcore legend, Mick Foley, at Unforgiven and Umaga's path of violence will continue until he is in the possession of the WWE Title. Estrada: "The longer it takes for him to get a title shot, ha ha, the more bodies will hit the floor. Bring out the next victim for the SAAAMOAN BULLDOZER, UUUUMAGA!!!"
Viscera vs. Umaga
w/Armando Alejandro Estrada
Another quick match, as the show seems to be leaving plenty of time for the huge main event between Michaels and Taker. Despite the incredible size advantage, Umaga runs right through big Vis, hitting him with all of his signature maneuvers before finishing him off with the Samoan Spike at 3:34.
Estrada grabs a steel chair and tosses it into the ring to Umaga. Viscera gets up and gets leveled with a sickening steel chair shot to the head! Umaga then puts the steel chair around the neck of Vis!!! Several referees run down to the ring, in an attempt to stop him, but its of no use as Umaga chases them away. He then gets back up, leaping off the turnbuckle, landing on the chair, CRUSHING VISCERA'S THROAT!!! Vis coughs up blood as Estrada calls Umaga out of the ring.
… … … …
In the locker room of the Rated R Army, Lita waits patiently until finally, Chris Masters comes back into the room, with the other members of the unit, "The Phenomenal" Ken Doane, Johnny Nitro and Melina. Nitro and Doane look at each other with pure hatred, as the anger the two men have for each other is still strong. Lita says she has several announcements. The first one being, after his past couple of big wins these past few weeks, Chris Masters will go one on one with Carlito for the Intercontinental Championship NEXT WEEK!!!
Masters is stoked as Lita continues, saying that there is also bad news, being that at Bad Blood, Doane and Nitro must be forced to team up against Rob Van Dam and Joey Mercury. Nitro and Doane blow a gasket, throwing a bitch fit, refusing to team up with each other. Lita says they don't have a choice, since its Mr. McMahon's decision. She then gets ready to tell her fantastic news but says they will have to wait until later tonight and find out.
[Commercial Break]
Backstage, Chris Benoit does an interview with Todd Grisham. Benoit talks about his attack at the hands of The Big Show last week, costing him his match against Orton last week. Says some way, some how, he'll eventually get even with The Big Show. Show's manager, Paul Heyman, appears and tells Benoit that he should let it go, because he's a great technical wrestler and doesn't need his great career destroyed by The 7'2'', 500 pound monster. Heyman rattles off the accomplishments of Benoit, putting him over just long enough, so he becomes distracted AND GETS ATTACKED BY BIG SHOW! Show hits Benoit from behind, knocking him down. He lifts Benoit and gorilla presses him over his head, 9 some-odd feet in the air. Show then tosses Benoit into the backstage set!! Benoit hit's the steel and falls all the way down to the concrete floor as Show and Heyman walk off.
Trish Stratus vs. Victoria
The Women's Champion, Mickie James, watches from ringside as Trish and Victoria go at it. The two women put on a very competitive match up, Victoria trying to work her way into the title picture as Trish tries to build up some momentum, heading into her Women's Title match at Bad Blood. Towards the end of the match, Trish hits Victoria with the Chick Kick, going for the cover but Vickie kicks out!! Trish gets frustrated but plans to stay on the attack but Mickie James jumps onto the ring apron, causing a distraction. Trish goes to attack Mickie, but she quickly jumps down, avoiding contact. Trish turns back around and Victoria kicks her in the gut, hitting The Widow's Peak for the pin fall victory at 7:01!! Victoria defeats the #1 contender!!
Mickie James enters the ring and gets right into the face of an unconscious Trish Stratus, telling her that she will never recapture the Women's Championship. As Mickie trash talks Trish, she doesn't see Victoria eyeing the Women's Title with a crazed look in her eye.
Mr. McMahon seems to be walking toward the ring area, when he is cut off by Umaga and Armando Alejandro Estrada. AAE puts over the destruction of Viscera earlier tonight, before asking McMahon for a WWE Title match. Vince says what Umaga did against a man of that size was impressive … but if he wants to earn a title match, if he wants to earn the big bucks, then Umaga needs to take out the 'big dogs'. McMahon then excuses himself as a sinister grin comes over the face of Estrada, seemingly having a plan in mind.
[Commercial Break]
Mr. McMahon comes to the ring, grabbing a microphone amongst a mixed reaction. He rambles on a bit, putting over how great the show has been tonight, because of the work he has put in. He then states that the rumors reported on wwe.com are true, in two weeks time,
SmackDown! will be moving to FX!
The audience continues to cheer McMahon as he makes one more announcement, stating that on the same week as SmackDown!'s debut on FX, he will be naming a NEW General Manager of RAW!! Crowd pops huge before Vince walks off, after making a huge impact!
… … … …
Backstage, the Intercontinental Champion, Carlito, has an interview with Maria. Nothing more than a typical 'hype' promo with Carlito trashing his challenger for the Intercontinental Title next week, Chris Masters.
Our commentators, Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler, hype the HUGE WWE Title match main event tonight, giving us a tale of the tape between Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker.
[Commercial Break]
WWE Championship:
Shawn Michaels(c) vs. The Undertaker
The Showstopper and The Phenom put on a hell of a contest, each man showing why they have reached iconic status within the business. During the early parts of the match, The Undertaker works over the back of the WWE Champion, the same back which put him on the shelf for four years. He hits Michaels with hard shots in the corner, working over the midsection, ribs and kidneys of HBK, before hitting a backbreaker, going for the cover but only picking up a two count! Taker remains focused on the task, hitting Old School and then a hard sidewalk slam, but still only managing to pick up a two count! Now The Deadman is a bit upset, whipping Michaels into the corner with force, charging in with a big boot … but Michaels moves, and Taker's leg gets caught up on the top rope!
HBK shows his legendary tenacity, going to work like a man possessed, wailing away on Taker with hard right hands! He then dropkicks Undertaker, sending him out of the ring! HBK then leaps over the top rope with a pescado, taking him out!!! He gets Taker and throws him back into the ring, going for the cover but only getting a two! Michaels climbs the turnbuckle and jumps off, looking for a double axe handle … but Taker is ready, catching him in the gut with a hard right!
The Phenom then goes back on the offense, running HBK over with a couple of hard clotheslines! Shoots Michaels off of the ropes, hitting a back body drop! Taker then lifts him up, hitting the snake eyes on the turnbuckle, shooting off of the ropes and charging at Michaels but HBK leaps up and catches Taker with a Lou Thesz press, wailing away on The Undertaker! He lifts The Phenom up and attempts to shoot him off of the ropes, but Taker counters, sending Michaels in. HBK comes back and drills him with a flying forearm, before KIPPING UP!!
Undertaker gets back up to his feet but Michaels is on fire, hitting Taker with hard right hands before delivering a Manhattan drop and running him over with a clothesline! He then scoops him up, hitting a body slam, before going over to the corner and climbing the turnbuckle. HBK leaps off the top rope, looking for the flying elbow drop … and hits it!! Michaels is on a roll, stomping his foot in the corner, waiting for The Undertaker to get back up to his feet! He finally does and Michaels goes for the Super kick … but Taker ducks, avoiding contact AND THEN HIT'S THE CHOKESLAM!!!
He goes for a cover on Michaels but he kicks out, showing his tremendous resilience!!!! Taker lifts him up to his feet and goes for the Last Ride but Michaels counters out of it, squirming free of his grip AND HITTING SWEET CHIN MUSIC!!!! Michaels can't immediately cover, too worn down from the choke slam but he manages to crawl over, getting a hand over Taker's chest! 1... 2... TAKER GETS HIS FOOT ON THE ROPES!!
Michaels and Taker both lay out for several seconds before HBK kips back up to his feet AGAIN!! He then goes onto the ring apron, climbing the turnbuckle and waiting on The Deadman when TAKER SITS UP!! Michaels leaps off of the top, going for a cross body … but TAKER CATCHES HIM, THROWING HIM ONTO HIS SHOULDER AND THEN, HITTING THE TOMBSTONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Undertaker covers Michaels, using the Darkness pin, hoping for the WWE Title!! 1... 2... NO! UMAGA BREAKS UP THE PIN FALL, ATTACKING THE UNDERTAKER!!! The referee calls for the bell, disqualifying Michaels
(though not his fault)
at 17:49.
Umaga attacks The Undertaker, hitting him with hard rights until Taker fights back, and the two huge men attempt to destroy each other, fighting toward the backstage area as Michaels slowly gets up to his feet in the ring, wondering what the hell just happened. The referee hands him the WWE Championship which he retains since he can't lose it on a disqualification.
HBK kind of shrugs his shoulders, not liking the way he retained the title but damn sure glad he's keeping it. The crowd cheers on The Showstopper but it quickly turns into heat … when EDGE JUMPS OVER THE RING BARRICADE AND INTO THE RING!!!!!! Michaels turns around AND EDGE SPEARS HIM IN HALF!!! He then grabs a microphone and announces that HE'S BACK on RAW because his demands have been met, he gets a title shot at Bad Blood!! He then states that he'll announce the special stipulation next week! Ross and Lawler wonder what the hell he's talking about as we fade out of the show!!

Overcome the Blues Before the Blues Overcome You
I've gotten about 5 e-mails this month, alone, about how to deal with the winter blues. For some reason, I've never personally had this problem. Maybe it's because I associate so many things that I love with winter: Christmas, snow, hot chocolate, chili, UK basketball, football (go Denver Broncos, go), sweaters, homemade soup, hot apple cider, my family being home more often, even more coffee than normal…
Maybe that's why when I hear the words "Winter Blues," my first thoughts are "Why? What? It's winter!" I know I'm probably in a very exclusive club – people who don't feel blue whatsoever during the winter months. You can easily recognize us odd ducks. We're the ones running around with our Starbucks cups, all bundled up and smiling when someone says there's snow in the forecast. I actually had a young girl tell me once, "You snow birds make me sick !"
We won't go into the fact that the young girl was my own daughter Brittany – the BIGGEST hot weather enthusiast in the entire world. When I run from window to window watching snow fall gracefully to the grown, I think I wound her soul a little bit.
All kidding aside, dealing with the "Winter Blues" is a very real problem for many people. So what follows are 3 suggestions that I think can help take the sting out of shorter days and a lack of sunshine. Even if you're like Brittany, you can actually survive the winter months and maybe even miss then when they're gone.
Maybe just a little?
Overcome the Winter Blues
- Fall in love with the season! Okay, if you're feeling blue, this may seem like a stretch – but your happiness depends upon your open-mindedness. Remind yourself of the things that only come around (or at least happen more often) when the weather turns cold: NFL, hockey, homemade soup, special seasonal Starbucks' drinks, bread, chili, Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Years, college football, college basketball, prime time premieres, skiing, snow cream, snowmen, sledding, cozy evenings watching television, apple cider, hot chocolate, no yard work, your family's home more often (depending upon the family, I guess that could go either way), etc. Watch DVDs, play Scrabble, Uno, Life, Trivia Pursuit, or Monopoly. Grab the most difficult looking jigsaw puzzle in town and set up a special table just for it. I almost always have at least one puzzle "going" all winter. Different members of the family will stop by and try to wiggle in a few pieces. The fact that it's something we only do during the winter means that there's yet one more fun thing to associate with cold weather.
- Talk it out. Grab someone's ears and talk through your feelings, even if it's your cat's ears. Sometimes, when we let our emotions have their say, we'll find out what's at the heart of the matter. The root of the blues may be a case of grief. Winter often brings a longing for people who have passed away – especially around Christmas. People make the mistake of thinking that talking about these loved ones makes the feelings worse. Au contraire! Talking about loved ones we miss keeps them alive in our minds and hearts. We come to realize that they aren't gone… they're just a thought away. If the "root" of the problem has absolutely, positively nothing to do with winter, itself, you may realize you've been blaming a pretty cozy season for something that really doesn't have anything to do with it. When you realize what's really at the heart of your feelings, you'll free yourself up to actually enjoy the cold months.
- Get out of the house and, most definitely, get out of the office. Try to keep things as normal as possible. If you enjoyed a daily walk in the park during the warm months, bundle up and waddle around the trail in the cold months. The sunshine, such as it is, will do you as much good as the activity will. Getting regular doses of both act upon a human the way catnip does a cat. One of the many things I love about winter is the eagerness of the birds. I'm a world class bird feeder/bird watcher, so I love to prepare special wintry meals for them – lots of sunflower seeds, nuts, berries, popcorn, and assorted bread crumbs. I also love to leave food out for our raccoons and possums. The occasional skunk will saunter up and feed and we all hold our breath – hoping not to be sprayed, but man are they cute. These guys always give us wonderful entertainment that's hard to beat. Fortunately, our cats don't mind them and they don't mind the cats. If you enjoy photography, you'll find endless beautiful scenes in winter. Bottom line, grab your camera and get out of the house!
For those rare birds who actually enjoy misery, there are a few ways to invite the blues to stick around. To keep the winter blues in your life longer and stronger:
- Stay cooped up indoors. Pull the curtains and close the blinds don't get out of the house unless it's an emergency. You know, pretend that you're cut off from all outdoor activities. If you enjoyed feeding birds during the spring and summer – just let them fend for themselves in the cold months.
- Dwell on warmer climates and warmer months. Set beach scenes as your wallpaper and get kind misty eyed each time you look at it. Talk at length about summer days, warm weather, and how much you prefer summer clothes, flip flops, and grilling out.
- Complain until your lungs give out. This one's especially powerful. It can make the blues turn into something far worse. You see, each time you complain about the wind gusts, the snow, the cold nose, chapped lips, and so on – you make the situation grow a little larger. Saying things out loud and dwelling on them in your mind always cause them to grow in strength. Dwell, baby, dwell! Now I'm not talking about the little "Brrrr, it's colder than death's fingers out there." type of statement. That's just giving credit where credit is due. I'm talking about bellyaching and nagging and yelling and feeling sorry for yourself. That's the stuff that'll keep the blues around.
*** Just a reminder, if you have any blankets, winter coats, sweaters, gloves, hats, etc. you aren't using – take them to your local Good Will or Salvation Army today.

- Pork FeastOpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 10/20/2014Excellent food. Excellent service. The pork feast was fantastic.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Brunch Obsessedjml05003VIPDined on 10/19/2014I found Feast while browsing for a brunch reservation and decided to book it. The $26 per person brunch menu was alluring and it certainly did not disappoint. Small bites to share for the table (the green juice and parfait were amazing!) and an entree and drink per person. Talk about an amazing deal. I ended up getting the scrambled egg in puff pastry and was salivating for more. I'll certainly be going back!Special Features:
- Super but I'm worrriedwhaleguyDined on 10/18/2014Food is consistently excellent but the menu is structured in an odd way so that to get the "Feast" menu at least 2 people have to order it. That's a $150 right there. It's not that it isn't worth it but there were plenty of empty tables at 7:30 last Saturday night. I'm afraid they may go out of business.Special Features:
- Cute & yummynyc2ackVIPDined on 10/7/2014I came on a date. We sat next to each other at the communal table which was perfect for the family-style Chef Menu we ordered from. It had seasonal food and everything was delicious. It is a bit on the expensive side, but the service, atmosphere & food was all great so worth it.Special Features:
- awesomeOpenTable Diner Since 2004VIPDined on 10/7/2014This was one of the best meals we have had in a while in nyc. the "feast" is a pre-fix meal or feast. Every dish they served was great. the whole group was reallly impressed with the place. we will definately come back.Special Features:
- Not badAJB435VIPDined on 9/27/2014Service is excellent and the food idea is great. Ingredients were fresh and meals were well prepared. Nothing really blew my socks off, but I wasn't really expecting that to begin with. Definitely worth checking out.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 9/27/2014I loved it here, the menu was great, food was delicious, ambiance was cozy and inviting. I would definitely come here again!Special Features:
- Excellent meal!jennyDined on 9/22/2014I brought my bf here for his birthday. It was a monday night and pretty quiet. We chose to order from the a la carte menu, rather than get one of the feasts. We shared the lentil soup, the grape tomato and eggplant risotto, the mussels, and the blackberry salad. The mussels were the best mussels we've ever had, and came in a cilantro pozole broth with a big hunk of freshly baked crusty bread. Delicious! The risotto was inside a hollowed out, deep fried half an eggplant. Everything was just amazingly well prepared and inventive without being over-done. The staff was amazing and super nice. They even gave my bf a free dessert because it was his birthday. We would definitely come here again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding foodOctDinerVIPDined on 9/18/2014The pork feast was incredible and the pork-stuffed squash blossoms were astounding. We had a terrific time!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Porktacular Feast!NYCoupleVIPDined on 9/18/2014Thursday night we went with 2 friends for the Pork Feast -- spectacular doesn't describe it fully enough! The variety of preparations and flavors were outstanding, we can't stop talking about what we had. The pork taco in a chicharron shell with guacamole was a particular favorite, the pulled pork in a squash blossom was wonderful, every single item on the 5-item meat board was perfection, and the gnocchi with prosciutto sauce was lovely. And even the avowed kale-haters enjoyed the kale caesar salad! To finish things off was a picture-perfect homemade plum and nectarine pie.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Solid but OverpricedOpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 9/17/2014The food is tasty and creative, the service is attentive, the cocktails are well mixed. It was my second time there, and I'm just not excited enough about this place to pay the prices they ask. I ordered from the à la carte menu both times I went. This time had a main, shared a side and a starter, had one cocktail, one glass of wine and paid about $80 for the privilege. And then bought chips and salsa on the way home because I was still hungry. It's telling that only two days later I can't remember what I ate at Feast. Can't see myself going back, unless someone else chooses it and offers to pay.
- Feast is FunVirnaVIPDined on 9/15/2014I went to feast with my book club for appetizers during their happy hour. The choices while limited were terrific and everybody was happy. Can't wait to go back and have one of their tastings.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MarioDined on 9/14/2014The blond girl who served us wasn't good at all , you can sense that she doesn't care muchSpecial Features:
- Great experienceTimo612Dined on 9/13/2014Amazing ambiance, great food, and incredible service. I suggest those that are dating order the 7 course market meal. So worth it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Feast 09/13/14tori858VIPDined on 9/13/2014Had wanted to eat at here for a long time and finally managed to get round to it. We participated in the feast menu. It was incredible from start to finish. Particularly enjoyed the thyme gnocchi and pork medallions. Service was knowledgeable and attentive but not intrusive. Atmosphere was intimate, small space (be prepared to be very close to the table next - if not sharing a table).Special Features:
- Go hereYummyyummyDined on 9/3/2014Food was delicious and the Flavors thoughtful - presented beautifully. The drinks were great and the bar tender very creative. Will def go back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FeastmnbnycVIPDined on 8/29/2014This slightly rustic place is good but perhaps not outstanding. The food on the limited menu is good, well cooked and attractively presented. The service is good. The restaurant does some limited group dining with whole animal feasts and it was to scope it out for a future one of these that we came. The experience was good but with the amount of competition in the area, Feats may need to 'sharpen their game' a bit. That being said we had a pleasant meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice Sunday brunchJannaVIPDined on 8/24/2014A friend and I enjoyed a brunch to celebrate her birthday. Fabulous service!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Fantastic meal!carmenreyVIPDined on 7/25/2014I met a friend for dinner and we had a fantastic meal. Loved the décor an ambience, and food was delicious. Brian, the owner, was a gracious host. I'd definitely come back here again, and worth a trip to the East Village.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding!OpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 7/23/2014This restaurant is a gem! Great drinks, service and food. I got the Figgy Piggy- delicious! Highly recommend for almost any occasion or a great date spot!Special Features:
- NYerVIPDined on 7/23/2014Had dinner here on a summer week night. The service was friendly, helpful and attentive; the decor gives it a hip vibe. The standout is the food. I had the apricot tomatoe tart and the lamb burger, both of which were delicious, as was their take on fries. My friend had the bass, which was inventively prepared and also delicious. Put Feast on your list.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfecting New American Fine DiningseplionDined on 7/20/2014This place is great--decently priced for excellent service and fine dining, food hand picked and created by a professional chef. It's got a new-American hipster-y kind of Westville vibe, but with higher level fare, more professional waiters who know their stuff and just a higher level in general of dining. I would highly suggest having dinner here sometime if you want a cool atmosphere, waiters and good that's detail oriented, and fantastic food with vegetarian options.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic Tasting Menu ExperienceFoodtopianDined on 7/18/2014We were dazzled by everything. The meal progressed like a great piece of music. The first course was a great way to whet our appetites and the main course was a delight for our taste buds. Flavors were spot on and the dishes were inventive. The tequila granito was a great palate cleanser before dessert.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious and uniqueJStanleyDined on 7/15/2014Love the food, ambiance and service. Redneck sushi was delicious and so creative!! The lamb burger was also amazing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- I'm a Feast Lover!PeteDined on 7/12/2014This is one of my favorite restaurants innNew York. They feature exotic gourmet dishes of all sorts, prepared perfectly, and served in a comfortable, relaxed environment.Special Features:
- What a gemPasquiDined on 7/7/2014I boked this restaurant, only on reviews, not knowing what to expect. The place and stafff were very inviting. We started with some unusual flavours in the coctails. We were then informed there was a vegeterian set menu, and a mexican one, or just normal food to share or not. We decided to go for the vegetarian one and surprisingly evey thing wasexcellent. The salads were to die for. The whole party of 6, left the restaurant pleasingly satisfied and full. Great place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- lovely ambiance, vegetarian optionsastroknotDined on 7/4/2014Really great ambiance - lovely warm lighting, great service, rustic tables combined with fresh flowers, sort of a vintage-rustic-French bistro mood. Very attentive and helpful waitstaff. We had the vegetarian Farmer's Market feast -- you order for the table, and each course comes out with several dishes served family-style. We are vegetarians and appreciate having inventive, delicious and varied food options when dining out! Some of the dishes were more flavorful than others, but overall it was a great meal out. They also have a Mexican feast (same style) and then other options to order a la carte. The back of the restaurant has a large table where big groups can sit together - would be great for a birthday or other night out with friends.Special Features:
- Exceeded my expectationsGastroDiva54Dined on 6/29/2014I needed a place for brunch to meet up with a fellow foodie friend I hadn't seen in 25 years. Everything was perfect; cool decor, ambiance, exceptional & friendly service and of course the meal. I googled best brunch locations in NYC and Feast showed up on a top 10 list. As a previous fan of Veritas, I was happy to discover another restaurant by some of the same team. I will definitely be back to sample dinner. Bravo!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Super ImpressedSlingsDined on 6/28/2014Took a risk on this place, brought my whole family for brunch. Trust me, these are not easily pleased people. BOOM ROASTED. Everybody loved it. Food was novel, delicious, affordable and appealing. Service was superb. Could've closed the front up and turned on the AC, but that's just me being a dick. This place rocks.Special Features:
- The following 150 reviews are from the Feast reviews archive.
- Surprisingly badRuineddinnerDined on 6/21/2014We had such high expectations going in and ended up being so disappointed! The wait for food was extremely long, even though the restaurant wasn't even full. Worst of all, they charged twice on our credit cards. Luckily my friend noticed afterwards. We called the restaurant, and were told this was an "error from the third party card processing company". Apparently it's not the first time this happens. The restaurant can easily get away with duplicate charges, if my friend didn't notice it. The manager had a horrible attitude, kept claiming it was not their fault. Don't know how they got the good reviews. Simply terrible! It was such a terrible and exhausting experience. I would not recommend this restaurant.
- Excellent Food! and fun venueAnnieDVIPDined on 6/17/2014Food was excellent. group of 6 had the front table, which was perfect. wine list was good. they ran out of our wine and suggested another one that was equally good. service as abit over enthusiastic.Special Features:

- Poorly executed, overpriced, slowwjwalkerVIPDined on 6/12/2014We ordered the seafood combo starter to share and at $36 for 4 oysters, 4 warm (very odd idea) shrimp, and a little ceviche was overpriced. The mains were more reasonable but the redneck sushi was just too much of a concept (the ingredients were fine but why try to be smart?). The drinks service was also slow and in the end we just couldn't wait to leave ...

Receiver Anquan Boldin told a Palm Beach, Fla., radio station that he wouldn't mind playing for the Dolphins, should a trade with the Cardinals be worked out. "If It happens," he said, "I'll definitely be grateful."
The Miami Herald blogged about the interview, and it appears Boldin said nothing new. He wants a new contract but is letting his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, handle things. A new contract, Boldin said, is "a couple of years past due."
I'm sure the Cardinals would beg to differ. They signed Boldin to an extension as camp opened in 2005.
Boldin said there have been no talks between Rosenhaus and the Cardinals. From what I can tell, the team hasn't made an offer to strong safety Adrian Wilson, and I don't think the club has had serious negotiations with inside linebacker Karlos Dansby. That could change today or tomorrow. Dansby's agent, Kirk Wood, is expected to be in town later today.

How to fit ceiling lights
A standard single pendant light fitting near the centre of the ceiling can sometimes leave a lot to be desired. As long as you can get to the ceiling void from above without too much disruption, it's not complicated to move a light to wherever you really need it. Alternatively, you can boost your light levels by adding extra pendants which you operate either by the existing switch or by a new one. You'll find that pre-wired lampholder-plus-flex combinations are widely available.

Issue: Air quality
See these indicator results for more detail: | Air emissions |Air quality (indoor) | Air quality (outdoor) | Fire | Landuse | Transport |
Has air quality changed?
Smoke from bushfires in January and February 2003 and wood smoke from domestic fireplaces created significant problems with air quality for residents in Tumbarumba Shire during the current reporting period. There is no way of knowing if there has been any change in air quality for better or worse since the last reporting period, as no routine monitoring is undertaken in the shire.
Domestic usage of wood heaters in the shire was high during its relatively cold winters, and as no natural gas was available, there were limited alternatives to their use. Although the smoke from these fires is often trapped under inversion layers, council received relatively few complaints related to wood smoke from heaters.
Emissions from motor vehicles continue to have an impact on outdoor air quality across Australia, although population centres in Tumbarumba Shire are unlikely to be large enough to suffer unduly.
What about indoor air quality?
Air pollutants can accumulate within a building. Indoor air quality is of particular importance because this is where the majority of people spend most of their time. However, there is no routine monitoring of indoor air quality in Tumbarumba Shire and no data are available for 'normal' buildings. Council staff have authority under a number of state government laws to monitor indoor air quality in buildings throughout the shire.
Are we monitoring adequately?
Air quality is not routinely monitored in Tumbarumba Shire. The population of the shire is below threshold requirements for mandatory monitoring under the National Environment Protection Measure for Ambient Air Quality. Despite this, three facilities are required to report to the National Pollutant Inventory each year, as they emit polluting substances to the air. It should be noted however that these facilities are considered to be low emitters of polluting substances relative to other facilities in Australia.
Can we make a difference?
Air quality is an issue where we need to think globally and act locally. Pollutants are not fussy about shire, state or national borders, so small reductions in emissions locally contribute to larger reductions on a global scale.
Government action nationally has most probably improved one aspect of Tumbarumba Shire's outdoor air quality—levels of airborne lead. The total ban on incorporating lead into motor vehicle fuels has resulted in a marked reduction in levels of lead in the air in those places where it is measured. Monitoring for lead in the ACT (the only official monitoring site for air pollutants in the Australian Capital Region) was discontinued during the current reporting period, as lead levels are now so low as to not warrant routine monitoring. It can be assumed that lead levels in Tumbarumba Shire have followed this same trend.
Motor vehicles are a major source of reduced air quality, particularly in urban areas. Limited public transport options combined with the rural nature of much of Tumbarumba Shire ensure that motor vehicles remain the only form of transport available to residents. Journey to work data in the 2001 Census show that nearly 80% of residents used a car to go to work, either as a driver or a passenger. It should be noted however that 13.5% of Tumbarumba Shire residents walked to work. Vehicle ownership climbed over the current reporting period. The increase in all classes of trucks may reflect increased activities associated with the timber industry.
More vehicles on the road does not necessarily translate into a proportional increase in air pollution. Newer cars, smaller cars and any vehicles with well-maintained engines and emission control equipment will usually emit smaller quantities of most pollutants. In addition, stricter emissions standards apply to newer vehicles which emit far less pollution than older designs. However all cars using fossil fuels such as petrol or diesel contribute to greenhouse gas emissions.
Sporadic air pollution due to smoke from fuel reduction burns or wildfires is inevitable in Tumbarumba Shire because of the high proportion of its land located in conservation reserves and state forests. While efforts are made to minimise the smoke effects of fuel reduction burns, smoke from wildfires is unmanageable.
As Tumbarumba Shire Council reported problems with wood smoke, it will need to educate residents where possible to minimise the problem. There is undoubtedly a large proportion of the population in the shire using solid fuel as their main source of heating. It is widely accepted that improving the way people operate their wood heaters (rather than replacing them) will achieve the biggest improvement in winter air quality. While new wood heaters must meet the upgraded Australian Standard for emissions, if not operated correctly they will still emit excessive levels of smoke. Ongoing campaigns to ensure that heaters are being used correctly will contribute to the reduction of pollutants entering the air locally.
What does this mean for the future?
Maintaining good air quality is a complex issue that goes beyond any single jurisdiction. Our day-to-day activities have an impact on the atmosphere—not just locally, but also globally.
While residents in Tumbarumba Shire can reasonably anticipate continuing to have good outdoor air quality most of the time, there will be periods when it is reduced from events such as wild fires and fuel reduction burns, or from localised wood smoke from domestic heating.
Current reliance on hydrocarbon-based fuels, such as petrol and diesel, together with an ongoing high level of motor vehicle use in the shire and an increasing number of vehicles there, mean car usage will continue to contribute to local air pollution as well as to global climatic changes through the greenhouse effect. It is also important to recognise that the use of 'cleaner' heating sources, such as gas and electricity, to help reduce localised pollution from wood smoke in winter, will contribute to national and global greenhouse emissions as these energy sources are created using fossil fuels. The main lesson for the future is that we must reduce our demand on fossil fuel based energy sources and increase the effort to establish renewable energy sources.

Safety net providers will need to expand their capacity to participate in Medicaid and Qualified Health Plans (QHPs) when many of their patients gain insurance coverage in 2014. This webinar will discuss concrete ways that states can facilitate safety net provider participation in Medicaid and QHPs in order to serve newly insured and remaining uninsured populations. Speakers from Maryland and Texas will share examples of their work. This webinar is funded through NASHP's NOSLO Cooperative Agreement with the Health Resources and Services Administration.

well this is a post about how I borrowed an expensive digital camera from my college, then stupidly left it unattended and then it got stolen and now I am in a crisis and will have to pay for it, so I am pleading to the internet to consider buying my art-
I halved the price on all the original paintings I have up on etsy, (those are the images above)
and (the automated sale ended) I lowered my prints all down to $5 - $10
and I am selling all the originals of those black and white drawings I made for my 'zine' type books, the information and a lot of the images are linked from this post, but I will try and gather them all in another soon.
(& because I am hoping to resolve this problem quickly , if someone wanted to buy many of them, we could figure out a great discount.
if you are interested in those, email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
also, I will sell that huge black velvet and glitter landscape, but due to its size it would be trouble to mail, but if you want to make an offer, please email me!
Thanks so much for looking/reading, and I would immensely appreciate any kind of 'signal boost'/reblogging
(if even for just like 5 minutes, then you deleted it, I would be so grateful)

For those consumers who are looking for a solution to wrinkles and fine lines, there are a number of options out there to choose from. A simple search on Google will produce thousands of wrinkle creams, age defying serums and even dermal fillers to use that can remedy the unsightly wrinkles we wish gone. If expensive surgery is not an option for you, and injections and trips to the doctors are just not your style, then you are left with topical skin care products as your only viable options. As a consumer, it is our job to do the research necessary to decide which product is the right fit for our particular situation. For some the solution is the long term treatment of a wrinkle cream, and for others it is a topical dermal filler. For purposes of comparison, we thought we would break down the pros and cons of each here for you to review.
There is ONLY one serious dermal filler that you apply like a cream.
Wrinkle creams are the far more notable of the two. Wrinkle creams have been making a serious impact on the skin care industry, especially over the past few years. There are literally thousands of brands to choose from, making the decision process difficult, but increases your likelihood of finding one that works well for you. Wrinkle creams and age defying serums generally work by providing the skin the long term treatment it needs to counteract the natural aging process. By stimulating cellular growth, the skin can increase collagen and elastin production at the same time that it improves the skin's ability to heal itself from the damages caused by the environment and poor lifestyle. While this treatment is effective with consistent and prolonged use of wrinkle creams, it seldom provides results rapid enough to meet every consumer's needs. Patience and staying the course is essential if you should decide that wrinkle creams are you treatment of choice.
Topical dermal fillers on the other hand, can provide you with the short term results that many consumers are searching for. The problem is, that there are so few topical dermal fillers that actually work. While there are many to choose from, most should really be categorized as wrinkle creams and not true dermal fillers. The most effective topical dermal fillers use Metahylate Complex as an active ingredient, and should you choose to purchase one that does you can expect the following results. The short term lifting of wrinkles, creases and fine lines. Each application is literally like filling a wrinkle in. But the best topical dermal fillers will also provide you with all of the long term treatment of a wrinkle cream, without the need for patience. It is a very fantastic option provided you choose the right product. The catch with topical dermal fillers is just that, you have to find one that works and that can take time, money and patience. Or find one with the active ingredient complex metahylate and you are sure to have found a winner.
While there is no true way for any one specialist to know which product is best for you, you can certainly make the decision yourself. Decide what your budget, tolerance for risk and what your expectations are for both results and time frame and choose a product from there. No matter what you decide, make sure you are choosing a brand that has a reputation for high quality, advanced treatments and you will eventually get the results you desire.
