ROH – Weekend Of Thunder Night 2: November 6, 2004, Elizabeth, New Jersey
ROH – Weekend of Thunder Night 2 … November 6, 2004 … Elizabeth, New Jersey
Review by Brad Garoon and Jacob Ziegler
BG says: The show kicks off with an Embassy celebration. They did it well in Boston and thanks to Jimmy Rave they are going to do it and do it well again in New Jersey tonight. Prince Nana sends everyone to get stuff for him and Jimmy because, you know what, Nana rules.
JZ says: When Nana asks you for some elbow pads and something to eat, you get your ass out and find him some.
MATCH #1: Chad Collyer vs. Nigel McGuiness
BG says: They lock up to start. Nigel takes him down with a wishbone stretch but Collyer rolls out. He grabs a headlock but Nigel flips out. Nigel hits the chinlock and adds pressure with his knees but Collyer rolls back and gets a pair of 2 counts. Nigel puts on an armlock and keeps it on through Collyer's attempts to reverse. Collyer breaks out and works Nigel's arm. Nigel turns it over to a toehold but Collyer makes the ropes. Nigel gets sent to the floor when Collyer uses his momentum against him, so he gets the boo-boo on his hand kissed by a lady at ringside. Then he gets the boo-boo on his face kissed by said fan and crotches Collyer on the ropes. Collyer tries to have THAT boo-boo kissed by the fan, but Nigel defends her honor. Back in the ring Nigel gets a great armdrag and a shoulderblock for 2. He puts on an armbar but Collyer goes to the eyes to escape. He gets 2 off a kneedrop and hits a suplex for 2. They trade strikes and Collyer chokes him out in the ropes. Short arm clothesline gets 2 for Collyer. They trade European uppercuts until Nigel hits a DDT off of his handstand distraction thing, which I'm now calling HDT. He gets a backslide for 2 and some crazy rollup for 2. Another rollup gets 2 for Nigel. Collyer hits a German suplex for 2 and flows seamlessly to the Toilet Flush for 2. Nigel blocks a suplex and does the Artful Dodger, trading 2 counts with Collyer. Nigel schoolboys him for 2 and hits Separation Anxiety. He puts on TAS and the crowd tells Collyer to tap, but instead he puts on the cloverleaf. The crowd tells Nigel not to tap, so he holds on until the legit 15 minute time limit runs out. Hard call on this one, as the match was fun if you are a mat freak, but the crowd (as I find myself saying more and more with the East Coast crowds) didn't care until the end. Now you might say that I shouldn't put as much stock into crowd reaction, but I do so just adjust my rating accordingly with your tastes.
Rating: **3/4
JZ says: Pure wrestling at its finest! The sequence with the girl at ringside is very funny, and according to color man CM Punk, it "kills the rumors that Nigel is gay." Jimmy Bower hadn't heard that one, even though Punk claims Bower is the one who told him! Dissension in the commentary ranks! Even funnier line when Collyer goes out to try to get the girl to kiss his fun parts, and Punk remarks "$10 says she does it!" Punk is on fire tonight. Meanwhile, this match is going on in the ring and I'm really enjoying it. The typically fickle New Jersey crowd though isn't really into it, despite the best efforts of both guys. Nigel is playing a pretty good babyface here though, and Collyer is just strange. I hear he spent the entire night at the gym once instead of hanging out with the boys. They go to a time-limit draw, and in a huge surprise, the crowd cares enough to ask for "5 more minutes." Of course, they don't get it, and the match ends in a draw at 15:00. Good enough for me.
Rating: ***1/4
BG says: Generation Next, minus Alex Shelley, yak at us backstage. Austin Aries runs down the list of things that they've done to the Second City Saints, and says it continues tonight in the no disqualification match. Jack Evans implies that he's going to get involved and Aries implies that they are taking some titles.
JZ says: Man, I wish Generation Next never had to cut a promo without Alex Shelley. It's too bad he had to be where he had to be this weekend.
MATCH #2: Carnage Crew vs. Davey Andrews & Anthony Franco
BG says: Franco and Loc start the match. Loc gets a snap mare and kicks hard to the back. DeVito tags in, dodges a clothesline and hits a dropkick before smacking Franco with crossface forearms. Allison Danger shows up at ringside as Andrews tags in. He gets hit with a Carnage-plex. Loc, who never tagged in, hits a second rope elbow and tags in DeVito. Andrews dodges the moonsault and tags in Franco. Franco hits a bulldog and a clothesline on Loc. The students do some double teaming for 2. Andrews gets dumped and Franco gets hit with a northern lights suplex into the turnbuckle. He dodges the Carnage-driver to get a rollup for 2 but Loc hits him with a side suplex. Then they hit the driver for the win. That was a fun squash. Danger offers her services, but the Carnage Crew isn't biting. She doesn't take the rejection well and teases that she will bring forth the most dangerous match in ROH history.
Rating: *
JZ says: Time for my favorite team, The Carnage Crew! They take out their anger on the students for a sufficiently short time of 4:08. I think the students should wrestle in "dark" matches before the show until they can get a little better.
Rating: 1/2*
BG says: Bryan Danielson talks about his tag match with Low Ki versus Samoa Joe and Jushin Liger. Ki's going to take out Joe so that Danielson can prove for sure that he is the best wrestler in the world.
JZ says: This match should be pretty good, yeah?
MATCH #3: Four Corner Survival – Izzy vs. Trent Acid vs. Jack Evans vs. Fast Eddie
BG says: If I remember right, this was being billed as the high flying four way plus Trent Acid. I think they were going for a theme similar to the night before, that being the jobber four way plus Homicide. Acid and Evans start. Acid dodges a bunch of Evans' stuff and hits a weird springboard spinning inverted DDT. Why does Acid do so much complicated and stupid shit? Eddie comes in for Evans and hits a fireman's carry neckbreaker for 2. Izzy tags Acid out and hits a springboard blockbuster for 2. He hits a back suplex and Evans comes in with a springboard kick. Everyone goes outside and Acid moonsaults onto them. Evans goes to dive on them but Eddie cuts him off. Evans tosses him onto everyone outside and hits his dive. Acid and Evans get back in the ring and Acid hits a Backseat Driver (inverted Razor's Edge) for 2. Eddie and Izzy end up inside and Izzy hits a knee lift for 2. He goes up but gets caught by Eddie with a tombstone piledriver. Acid hits Yakuza kicks on everyone but Izzy catches him with a reverse hurricanrana for 2. All four guys brawl (in this match brawl means hit spots on each other). Eddie baits Evans to the top and hits his fall away moonsault on him onto everyone on the floor. Izzy and Acid fight on the top until Izzy hits sliced bread number 2 for the win to break the Special K losing streak. Well, tags were necessary but never used in this match, on the one hand. On the other hand all the spots hit. Back on that first hand however, there was nothing connecting all those crazy spots.
Rating: *1/2
JZ says: Punk and Mark Nulty are on commentary for this one, and Punk becomes even more of my hero my mocking the way Nulty calls everything "Greco Roman." This is a fairly typical four-way, with a bunch of spots and not much else. It's fun for what it is though, and it only runs 7:04.
Rating: **
MATCH #4: Jay Lethal vs. Jimmy Rave
BG says: Nana and the Outkast Killaz come out first and run down the crowd before purifying the ringside area. Rave goes behind to start. Lethal gets a rollup for 2 and they do some really cool stuff on the mat. Lethal hits a leg lariat and Rave bails. Lethal hits a suicide dive and throws Rave back in the ring. He hits a snap suplex for 2. Rave hits a capture suplex for 2 and digs at Lethal's face. He hits an STO backbreaker twists Lethal's head as the crowd chants for AJ Styles. He goes for the Rave Clash but Lethal escapes and hits a powerbomb for 2. Rave hits a pumphandle Angle slam for 2. He hits a spear in the corner followed by a northern lights suplex and a neckbreaker for 2. He hits a side Russian legsweep into the royal octopus submission and rolls into the crossface. Lethal powers out and hits a big chop. Rave responds in kind and they trade. Lethal nails a back bodydrop and a dropkick in the corner. He hits a gut wrench suplex for 2 and a lariat for 2. He puts on a reverse Cobra Clutch but Rave comes back with a Rave Clash attempt. Lethal climbs the ropes to escape and hits a second rope DDT for 2. Nana gets on the microphone and the apron, distracting the referee, allowing Rave to hit the low blow to escape the dragon suplex and hit the Rave Clash for the win. Now THAT'S how you use Nana to say that he cheats to help Rave win. This was a great match that made both guys look really good. The crowd chants for AJ styles again after the match. Lethal interrupts Nana's celebration speech and slaps him down, as well as the rest of the Embassy. Great, great stuff.
Rating: ***1/2
JZ says: I love the entire Embassy gimmick, it is probably one of the best stables/gimmicks ROH has ever done. It makes Rave look like a million bucks, gives The Outcast Killaz something to do, and showcases Prince Nana as an awesome promo man. The crowd seems more interested in AJ Styles than Jimmy Rave, but that doesn't stop these guys from having a good match. They were pretty limited on time (only 8:40 altogether), but they packed good action in there and made me wish they could have had more time and hopefully someday a higher place on the card.
Rating: ***
MATCH #5: No DQ Match – Austin Aries & Roderick Strong vs. CM Punk & Ace Steel
BG says: The Generation Next/Second City Saints feud sputters along here in another match with nothing on the line. Even with the Colt Cabana injury, I'm not buying the hate between these two teams. Punk and Steel come through the crowd and jump Generation Next before the bell. Strong hits a suicide dive on Steel but Punk hits a Michinoku driver on Aries in the ring for 2. Punk goes out to fight with Strong and Aries hits a suicide dive onto him. Aries spears Steel into the guardrail and Strong gives Punk a backbreaker through a chair. Strong tosses Steel into the ring and Aries hits a springboard twisting splash on Steel for 2. They hit a double suplex on him but Punk pulls Strong out of the ring. He hits a guillotine legdrop on Aries. The Saints hit a double spinebuster on Strong and break his balls. Evans comes out with a ladder but Punk dropkicks it into him and hits a dive on him. Steel hits a dropkick in the corner on Aries. He brings the ladder into the ring and slams Strong onto it. Aries hits a side Russian legsweep on Steel onto the ladder. Punk comes in and powerbombs Aries onto the ladder. Evans tries the springboard kick on Punk, but misses. The Saints work Evans over in the corner, which is smart because he's in the match and all. Wait. Strong comes in and dumps Steel. He and Evans hit a Doomsday Device crossbody on Punk and Aries hits a frog splash on him for two. Steel gets whipped into the ladder propped in the corner and Aries hits him with a dropkick. Strong follows suit and gets 2. He tosses the ladder onto Steel while Aries chokes Punk out. Evans comes in and dives onto Steel getting 2 for Strong. Steel hits a fisherman's buster on Strong but Aries puts Punk's leg in the ladder and bashes it up with a chair. Strong gives Punk a shinbreaker on the chair for 2. Punk gets worked over with the ladder but Steel takes everyone out with a chair. Strong hits a back suplex on Steel and Aries tosses Punk into a chair in the corner. He dropkicks him in the face for 2. Steel gives Aries a northern lights suplex on the ladder in the corner. He does this ridiculous legdrop off the second rope with the chair that looks horrible. Strong is the first guy to look interested in the match as he unloads on Punk. Steel puts Aries on a table on the outside and starts climbing the ladder. Strong catches him with an Electric Chair drop and holds him for Evans to dropkick him. Punk gets put on the table and Evans climbs the ladder and hits a horrible 450 legdrop on him, not breaking the table. Aries goes for a Cactus elbow on Punk to make up for it but misses himself. Good lord. Back in the ring Strong hits a Canadian backbreaker on Punk and a brainbuster on Steel. They go for another Doomsday Device crossbody but Punk catches Evans with a powerslam on the ladder. The Saints hit a spike piledriver on Strong on the ladder. Aries hits the fireman's carry slam on Steel on the ladder but misses the 450 and hits only ladder. Ladder, ladder, ladder. Steel hits Strong with a chair and powerbombs Evans through the table on the floor. Back in the ring Strong gets a backbreaker for 2. Steel tosses Aries into the guardrail and comes back in the ring to hit a DDT on Strong on a chair. Punk trips while hitting Strong with the Pepsi Plunge on a ladder. It looked horrible but gets the win anyway. I'll give them credit for the bumps taken in this match, but it was too long, a lot of it was sloppy and most of the work was really lethargic.
Rating: **1/4
Punk gets on the microphone after the match and sends Crazy Ace to the back. He says that the match in Chicago against Joe would have been the best of his career had he won. He thinks he deserves a third chance to win the title because he's the only person that Samoa Joe hasn't beaten. He challenges Joe to a title match with no time limit. He starts a sit-in until Joe responds to his challenge. Mick Foley comes out and he and Punk make unfunny jokes about WWE and TNA. I'll say right now, nothing makes a company look worse than whining about other, bigger companies. He puts over the match from Chicago (*****) and says he wants to bring Joe and Punk to the WWE. But before that, he's going to do what he can to make Samoa Joe accept Punk's challenge by calling Joe out right now! Joe is a no-show, so Foley rips on HHH (kinda funny), and Steamboat (less funny) and takes us to intermission with Punk still in the ring.
JZ says: I'm going to say something about a match involving CM Punk that I haven't said in a while – it sucks. It's long, it's boring, and it's nothing but spots that sometimes hit and sometimes don't hit. Jack Evans brings a ladder out and for some reason joins the match, and Punk and Steel treat him as such. It's a no-disqualification match and all, but this is ridiculous. Everyone is lethargic and seemingly apathetic towards what they are doing. The match runs a ridiculously long 19:57, and Punk and Steel get the meaningless win (well, it was really probably so that Punk could get his heat back from losing to Aries the night before). Real bad. The post-match stuff is pretty bad too, as Foley and Punk just try to make jokes, and I'm honestly surprised that I'm not entertained by this because these are two of my favorite promo men ever. You know what else? Foley bitches and cries about Flair not putting him over in his book, but all he ever does is shit on Heidenreich and Gene Snitsky. I'm not saying Heidenreich and Snitsky are good workers on anything, but it's the same principle. And what if Foley comes back to work with these guys, how are they going to feel about that? Bad form, Mick, bad form. Punk says he isn't leaving until Joe comes out.
Rating: *3/4
BG says: GMC is backstage with Nigel McGuiness. Chad Collyer comes up and spits his great shtick. He thinks he and Nigel should form a tag team to challenge the Havana Pitbulls for the tag titles. Nigel accepts! BEER & GIRLS!
Sugar Sean Price sneaks into the Embassy's locker room but Nana has no time for him now. By the end of the night Ghana and Nana will have a statement.
JZ says: Collyer and Nigel should make a good tag team, they are both really good technical wrestlers and I like them. Plus, Beer & Girls is a winning combination.
Punk is still in the ring during intermission.
Anyone ever notice that Ghana and Nana rhyme? That's cool, man.
MATCH #6: Dixie & Angel Dust vs. Dunn & Marcos
BG says: Punk is still in the ring as Bobby Cruise tries to bring us back from intermission. The RCE and Special K get ready to start the match with Punk in the ring. He starts reading Foley's new book until Joe's music hits. Punk mixes up which one of them is the force and which one is the object, but Joe accepts the challenge anyway and forearms Punk to boot. He also takes a minute to jab at Mick Foley. Anyway, they restart the match with Dust and Dunn. Dust gets a rollup for 2 and a tilt-a-whirl slam. He misses a senton but hits it on his second attempt. Dixie tags in and Special K double team Dunn for 2. Dunn blocks a DDT and gets a rollup for two. Marcos tags in and gets a rollup for 2. He misses an enziguiri but hits it on his second try. Dixie stomps toes and hits a clothesline and a leg lariat for 2. Face buster gets 2 for Dixie. Dust tags in and gets hurricanrana'd. He hits the Electric Chair driver but Dunn saves. Marcos hits a huge tornado DDT and everyone tags out. Dunn cleans house and hits the Gory bomb on Dixie. The Ring Crew does all their double team moves and hit the big senton for the win. Nice little popcorn match there.
Rating: **
JZ says: Punk makes sure to give Dunn & Marcos high fives, which is always fun. Dixie & Angel Dust are still on a losing streak and coming out to no music. This match was pretty much overshadowed by the Joe/Foley/Punk stuff that happened just before it, and it's post intermission so the crowd is still getting back into the show. They do some fun stuff and Dunn & Marcos get the victory at 4:44. I really like both teams but this was too short.
Rating: *1/4
MATCH #7: Pure Title Match – Homicide vs. John Walters
BG says: Walters grabs a headlock and works the arm. Homicide comes back with a headlock. He steps through the ropes and to the outside to break an armbar and the ref doesn't take off a rope break. He puts on a front facelock but Walters comes back with a headlock. Homicide armdrags out and they stand at a stalemate. Walters hits a bunch of armdrags and goes back to work on the arm. He blocks the octopus stretch and puts on a surfboard but Homicide flips out for the pin attempt. Walters puts on a leglock but breaks to pound on him a bit. Homicide misses a baseball slide allowing Walters to hit a dive to him on the floor. He puts on a Red Sox hat. Homicide gets mad and uses a closed fist and gets a warning for it. Walters blocks a DDT and hits Separation Anxiety for 2. He hits the chinlock but Homicide fights out and gets the STF forcing Walters to use his first rope break. Homicide hits a huge kick to the back and a clothesline in the corner. Walters gets a rollup for 2 but Homicide comes back with a hanging DDT for 2. He puts Walters on the top rope but takes a NASTY spill to the floor and the match comes screeching to a halt. Homicide starts getting counted out but J-Train rolls him back into the ring. Homicide looks seriously ruined and Walters gives him a break. The match finally resumes and Walters hits a DDT for 2. He hits the Hurricane DDT for 2 when Homicide stops the refs hand from coming down. Walters hits a big powerbomb and puts on the Sharpshooter but Homicide uses his first rope break. Walters puts on a Boston Crab and Homicide uses his second rope break. J-Train comes in and levels Walters, drawing the DQ. I'd say the injury messed up the match, but it was actually more interesting for the 2 minutes after they action got restarted.
Rating: **1/2
JZ says: John Walters is underappreciated, in my view. This is a battle of a big Red Sox fan versus a big Yankees fan. You know, the Red Sox have become almost as ubiquitous and obnoxious as the Yankees since winning the World Series. This is the second one-one-one match between these two, the first was at The Conclusion back in November of 2003. It's interesting to see Homicide in a Pure Title setting, and the match is going pretty well. It goes well, that is, until Homicide takes a really nasty spill to the floor and lands on his head with a sickening thud. I remember a lot of people blamed Walters, but it really wasn't either guy's fault, it was just one of those things that happened. I do disagree with everyone letting Homicide continue the match, as he could have gotten seriously injured or injured Walters. The match ran a total of 18:31.
Rating: **1/2
MATCH #8: ROH Tag Team Title Match – Dan Maff & BJ Whitmer vs. Ricky Reyes & Rocky Romero
BG says: The Pitbulls attack before the bell. Romero hits a pair of stiff strikes for 2 on Whitmer. Maff tosses Romero but gets his knee taken out by Reyes. He comes back with a spinebuster for 2. Whitmer tags in and they double shoulderblock Reyes. Whitmer hits the vertical/northern lights suplex combo for 2. Maff tags in and gets beaten into the Pitbull corner. Romero comes in and they double team Maff. Reyes gets spine busted again. Maff hits the People's Senton on Reyes and the partners come in. Romero gets dumped onto Reyes. Maff and Whitmer do some double teaming, including a Hart Attack, on Romero forcing him to bail. Whitmer tags in and Reyes gets back in the ring. Reyes hits a really cool DDT and a dropkick to a crotched Whitmer for 2. Romero tags in and puts the boots to Whitmer. Whitmer tries to fight back but Romero cuts off the comeback. He puts on an octopus stretch but breaks to let Reyes come in. Reyes hits a neckbreaker for 2 and a kick to the back for 2. Romero tags in and gets overhead suplexed. Whitmer makes the tag but J-Train stops Maff from getting in the ring. The ref also didn't see the tag so the Pitbulls continue to double team Whitmer. Whitmer hits the exploder and makes the tag. Maff comes in and cleans house. He hits Reyes with the half nelson suplex for 2. Whitmer comes in and they hit the high knee/cannonball combo, and throw in a dropkick for fun. They do the old Hit Squad figure 4/frogsplash combo for 2 as well. Whitmer tags in for real and tries the wrist clutch exploder but it's reversed to a rollup for 2. Reyes hits the rolling Germans but Whitmer reverses to his own. Reyes comes back for some more and gets 2. Romero tags in and they hit a double guillotine reverse DDT for 2. Reyes pulls Maff out of the ring and they brawl on the floor. Romero hits a reverse DDT off of the top rope on Whitmer for 2 when Maff saves. Maff tags in and goes for the Burning Hammer but Romero reverses to a rollup for 2. Reyes gets dumped and Maff hits the Burning Hammer on Romero for 2 when J-Train pulls the ref out of the ring. Reyes plays possum and rolls Maff up for 3. Horrible finish to a relatively decent match. Watching Reyes so disinterested in his matches is starting to get annoying.
Rating: **1/2
JZ says: Could this be the match where the Pitbulls lose the titles? That's a request, not a rhetorical question. I'm not even the biggest Maff & Whitmer fan, but I am just BEGGING to get Ricky Reyes off my TV screen. I'm going to disagree with Brad's "relatively decent" assertion because I found this match incredibly dull. Reyes just looks so disinterested, and Maff and Whitmer had become tired by this point. Plus I never really cared for Maff in the first place. The match plods and plods along, finally reaching a conclusion at 16:17 after interference from Julius Smokes and the Pitbulls retain. Dammit. Jimmy Bower, talking about the interference, notes that "this is crap." He took the words right out of my mouth.
Rating: *1/2
MATCH #9: Low Ki & Bryan Danielson vs. Samoa Joe & Jushin Liger
BG says: The pop for Liger once again is quite huge, as is the amount of streamers thrown at him. Joe and Ki start. Ki tags out to Danielson before anything can happen. Joe wins a test of strength but Danielson stomps his hands. Joe dominates a striking battle but Danielson takes him to the mat and puts on a deathlock until Joe makes the ropes. Joe grabs a headlock, gets a snap mare and kicks Danielson hard on the back. Ki and Liger tag in. They lock up and Liger dodges the cheap shot on the break. He hits a big shoulderblock and a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker on both Ki and Danielson. Joe hits a suicide dive on Danielson and Liger hits a somersault dive on Ki. Liger gets a drop toehold into a Mexican surfboard. He puts on a dragon sleeper but Danielson saves. Joe tags in and they make a wish on Ki. Joe hits a delayed vertical suplex and Liger tags in. Liger hits a palm strike to the chest but gets caught in the heel corner with a dropkick to the face. Danielson tags in and they both choke Liger. Danielson hits a backbreaker but Liger powers out of a surfboard attempt. Ki tags in and hits an elbow drop for 2. Danielson tags in and goes after the mask again. Liger gets tossed to the floor where Ki throws him into the guardrail. Back in the ring Danielson gets 2. He puts on an abdominal stretch and gets some help from Ki. Liger hip tosses out but Danielson catches him and tags out to Ki who comes in with an elbow drop for 2. He puts on the head scissor choke and gets some help from Danielson. Danielson tags in and gets the airplane spin and the fireman's carry slam. He dizzily tags to Ki who gets 2. The crowd gets heavily behind Liger as Ki nails him with an elbow in the corner and the douche bag double stomp for 2. Liger dodges the Tidal Wave Attack and hits the fisherman's buster. Joe gets the tag and destroys Ki with the face wash, catching Danielson along the way. Everyone falls outside where Joe hits the ole kick. And just because this is a special night, Liger hits the ole kick on Ki as well. Back in the ring, Joe hits a powerslam for 2. Ki comes back with a big lariat and tags in Danielson. Danielson hits some European uppercuts and a flying forearm for 2. Joe hits the legsweep and tags Liger in. Palm strikes all around for everybody! Ki attacks Liger from behind and knocks Joe out of the ring. Liger and Ki do a Tidal Wave Hart Attack. Liger gets a rollup for 2 on Danielson but he comes back with the Cow Killer. Joe saves with a senton but gets hit with the Black Magic Attack. Ki dodges the palm strike and puts on a crucifix hold but Liger makes the ropes. Ki misses the Phoenix splash but hits the koppo kick. He tries the splash again and nails it for a Danielson pin attempt. Danielson hits the dragon suplex for 2. Joe comes in to help out Liger who hits a palm strike and a brainbuster for 2. Ki knocks Joe off the apron and holds Liger for Danielson, but Liger moves out of way and Ki gets hit with a roaring elbow. Joe comes in and lariats Danielson while Liger koppo kicks Ki. Liger hits the Liger bomb and Danielson and that's all she wrote. This went a million miles per second and ruled every step of the way. This was a better tag match than anything else I've seen in 2004 in ROH, and a definite must-see match. After the match, Ki and Danielson argue until the Rottweilers all jump him and beat him down. Joe and Liger make the save and J-Train finally gets what he had coming to him in the form of a Liger palm strike.
Rating: ****1/2
JZ says: Jushin Liger has just about the coolest theme music of all-time. Though I'm afraid you haven't experienced it until you have had Nick Scoville sing it for you. The crowd gets on my good side by cheering the babyfaces (duh) and booing the heels, which given that Bryan Danielson and Low Ki are the heels, that's a big accomplishment for an East Coast ROH crowd. Let's get one thing out of the way – this match is awesome. Everyone is feeling it tonight, and the heels are acting like heels, and Liger is just so crazy over he could do whatever he wanted. Joe is of course, Joe. Need I say more? Everyone is hitting their spots and going at a breakneck pace, the good guys go over at 21:16, what more could a good wrestling fan want? One of the best tag team matches in ROH history, if not the best. Danielson gets to turn back babyface again as the Rottweilers attack him and Joe and Liger make the save. Great match, great finish, great everything here.
Rating: ****1/2
BG says: SSP is backstage all excited about the night behind him. He goes into the Embassy locker room. He wants the promised statement from Nana. First, Nana yells at the girl and sends her to get him Jimmy Rave some ice. Nana's statement is that Jay Lethal made a mistake in putting his hands on the Embassy. Now Ghana has declared war on Jay Lethal. Prince Nana is upset, and it doesn't really get any better than that.
Bryan Danielson says it's always been about the wrestling for him. But now, as far as the Rottweilers go, it's not about the wrestling, it's about the hate!
JZ says: Sugar Sean has so much enthusiasm, how can you not like the guy? And how can you not like The Embassy? What a perfect group they are.
Bryan Danielson is angry!
BG says: Jushin Liger. I hate to do it again, but the man not only delivered excitement, but played face-in-peril to perfection. He lived up to all the adoration that the fans placed on him.
JZ says: Yeah, how can you give it to anybody but Liger? He delivered for the second straight night, and it really was a pleasure to see him work.

The 411: BG says: The undercard is pretty lacking here. The opener is fine if you really like that kind of wrestling and Lethal versus Rave is a good time. The main event is definitely worth your while however, and is highly recommended, and helps to carry the show on its own strength pretty well.
JZ says: I found the undercard extremely lacking, so I can't be as generous as Brad with my rating of the show. But it is totally worth it to see Liger on American soil,
|Final Score: 6.8 [ Average ] legend

Boeing's projection for more than 35,000 new airplanes over the next 20 years suggests a doubling of the size of today's airliner fleet and a continuing trend in which increases in airline traffic outpace economic growth. The outlook appears to reflect a growing confidence in the fidelity of the positive market indicators the company cited in its 2012 forecast, prompting the company to increase its projection for total airplanes by more than 1,000 units and value by some 7 percent. Boeing Commercial Airplanes vice president of marketing Randy Tinseth gave a presentation on the forecast last Tuesday in Paris.
Demand trends showing continuing vigorous growth in emerging and low-fare markets has convinced Boeing (Chalet A324) to raise its projection for the single-aisle market by 1,430 airplanes in this year's outlook, accounting for more than the entire difference between this year's outlook and last year's report. Boeing now sees the segment covering 90- to 230 seats generating a demand over 20 years for 24,670 airplanes worth $2.29 trillion. That value actually represents a disproportionate increase over Boeing's unit projections because, as Tinseth explained, a trend toward capacity "upgauging" will result in the sale of somewhat larger, more expensive airplanes in the narrowbody category.
In the widebody segment, which Boeing for the first time divided into three categories, the company's outlook moderated somewhat, particularly compared with its forecast for airplanes in the size category of its 737 Max. Last year Boeing saw total demand for what it then called twin-aisle and large airliners for 8,740 units; this year's projection in the equivalent category, now classified as small, medium-size and large widebodies, calls for a lower demand of 8,590 airplanes, albeit at a slightly higher value. "The twin-aisle market is relatively flat because that's where we're going to see, again, additional upgauging," said Tinseth. "The big segment–the 400-seat [category]–is down about 4 percent. And that is just a reflection of what we've seen over the last decade and really where we see demand for big, big airplanes."
Geographically, the Asia-Pacific region still accounts more than a third of the 20-year demand forecast by Boeing. Again, this year's forecast calls for nearly as much demand in the Asia-Pacific region as from Europe and North America combined.
Boeing also appears even more bullish than ever on Latin America and the Middle East, according to the forecast. In 2012, Boeing projected a 20-year demand for 2,510 and 2,370 airplanes for those markets, respectively. This year's forecast shows demand for 2,900 and 2,610 airplanes in those respective regions.

With this feecha iPhone app, you can share or view interesting activities or events that are happening in the area. The feecha will appear on the map once it has been posted and the higher the popularity of the news, the feecha will become more alive.
Creative-technology studio developing mobile applications and games, Ching Chong Group, has announced the launch of feecha, a mobile tool that allows users to locate interesting happenings in the vicinity. Conceived and programmed entirely in Singapore, feecha brings the local and social networking scene to the next level by allowing users to share noteworthy information and broadcast it to users in the vicinity. Users will be able to post interesting activities or events in their location for others nearby to see what they see, or even check it out in person.
To create a feecha on the map, you just need to take a video or photo of the activity, upload it to the app and share it with a short comment. Once shared, a feecha will appear on the map; the more popular the story is on the app, the bigger and more alive the feecha becomes. Feechas feed on attention to grow and breed – it is "survival of the most interesting". They grow and change colour depending on the number of views, comments and shares they receive. However, feechas that stop attracting attention will slowly shrink and fade away, clearing space for the better and stronger.
The potential uses for the app are varied and wide – from unsigned bands promoting their gigs; teenager organizing a casual game of footie with his neighbours; a foodie sharing her favourite restaurant's new dish; to alerting others nearby that something is on sale. Feecha is free to download for all iPhone users with iOS running at 4.2 and above. Users can download it on the Apple App Store, iTunes or via www.feecha.com. The Ching Chong Group plans to roll out the Android version of feecha soon.

Lakeland, FL, United States, 2008/02/14 - Franchise Consultant, Marc Plaisted, received the coveted Certified Franchise Executive certification in front of a record crowd of 3000 attendees this past weekend during the International Franchise Associations annual convention in Orlando.
Lakeland, Florida resident Marc Plaisted was recognized this past weekend in front of a record 3000 attendees by the Institute of Certified Franchise Executives and the International Franchise Association (IFA) at the IFA annual convention in Orlando, FL. Plaisted, who is President and CEO of the Lakeland, FL based franchise creation and consulting firm, BrandChise, completed a comprehensive course of study in franchise leadership and management offered by the institute, which is the academic branch of the International Franchise Associations Educational Foundation. The IFA is the worlds largest trade group representing the entire franchising industry.
A known franchise community leader, Plaisted has been in the franchise world since a very young age. I grew up in the Dairy Queen business and am 4th generation multi-unit franchisee. Dairy Queen and franchising has been a daily discussion since as long as I can remember. In addition to being a franchisee, Plaisted has served as an executive in a number of franchise brands including Computer Renaissance and Carrs the Traditional Barber.
Recently, Plaisted founded a franchise consulting firm called BrandChise. BrandChise selectively aligns itself with key brands that show great promise and helps them transform into complete franchise companies. Although not every brand or operator is suited to franchising, many are, and those that are can experience incredible and exciting growth through franchising. Franchising is the most powerful business development and marketing system ever and estimates put the global impact of franchising at over 2.5 Trillion dollars.
More than 1,000 candidates are currently enrolled or have received certification. More than 300 IFA-member companies currently have one or more executives enrolled in the program that provides benefits such as specialized knowledge, industry recognition, peer-level networking and professional standing.
Candidates must complete a rigorous course of study to earn the CFE designation, which includes attending institute-sponsored educational seminars and workshops. The program is designed to enhance franchising professionals understanding of both the industrys fundamental and complex aspects.

PPP's newest Iowa Senate poll finds a toss up race- Bruce Braley is at 42% to 41% for Joni Ernst with third party candidates splitting 5%. In a straight head to head the two are tied at 42%. This represents a significant tightening from PPP's last poll in May when Braley led 45/39, but is consistent with most public polling since the primary
This has become yet another key Senate race this year where the onslaught of negative advertising has left both candidates unpopular. Both Braley (from 58% to 78%) and Ernst (from 59% to 82%) have seen large increases in their name recognition since May. But in both cases their negatives are rising a lot faster than their positives. Braley's net favorability has gone from an even split at 29/29 to negative at 37/41. Ernst has gone from a -5 spread at 27/32 to a -10 spread at 36/46.
The good news for Braley in spite of his vanished lead is that the undecideds play well for him- they report having voted for Barack Obama by 13 points in 2012, and 35% are Democrats to 26% who are Republicans. They are also disproportionately female and young voters, groups that tend to play to Democrats' advantage. But clearly Braley has work to do.
One thing presenting a challenge for Braley is that Barack Obama- as he is in most of the states with key Senate races this year- is quite unpopular. Only 40% of voters approve of the job he's doing to 53% who disapprove, and with independents it's a 26/64 spread.
We found some tightening in the Governor's race earlier this year as Terry Branstad had a run of bad press but his lead now is back up to what we found in the early stages of the race. Branstad's at 48% to 35% for Democrat Jack Hatch with third party candidates combining for 5%. In a head to head Branstad hits 50% to 37% for Hatch. Branstad's approval numbers at 50/38 are the best we've found for him in a while.
In the other two down ballot races we find things very tight. The closest contest is for Secretary of State where Republican Paul Pate has 35% to 34% for Democrat Brad Anderson with third party candidates combining for 7%. The GOP lead in the race for Auditor is just slightly larger with Mary Mosiman at 39% to 35% for Democratic challenger Jonathan Neiderbach.

What do you know? Gold AGAIN retook its 200 DMA of $1,662, which the Cartel has been maniacally defending for weeks. Better yet, silver looks to have successfully bounced off the $30/oz level the Cartel was so desperately trying to breach.

NORTON Town Council will write to the Environment Agency following concerns over a leaning lamppost on the town's riverbank.
Members were told by town clerk Ros Tierney that investigations needed to be made as it was possible the land, which was frequently under water during heavy rain, was eroding.
Contact has been made with the Fitzwilliam (Malton) Estate, which owns the land, but councillors also agreed to write to the agency. Mayor Ray King said: "The area needs investigating to see if the bank is eroding and the lamppost needs moving."

Raleigh, N.C. — Big Ed's is getting even bigger. Owners announced on Monday plans to open a second location in Raleigh.
Big Ed's North is set to open at 5009 Falls of Neuse Road in the Quail Corners Shopping Center in north Raleigh in mid-July.
The rustic decor and menu will be the same as the flagship City Market location, but Big Ed's North will be open for dinner as well as breakfast and lunch.
In its first month of operation, Big Ed's North will be open 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily before transitioning to its permanent operating hours in late August or early September. Those hours will be 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, and 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday through Monday.
Big Ed's North will seat about 180 guests and employ 60 people.
Big Ed's was founded in 1958 by Big Ed Watkins, a native of Wake County. Big Ed's Restaurant opened its current location in 1989 in the Downtown City Market in conjunction with the city of Raleigh's revitalization project.
In 2006, the restaurant was bought by Sam and Lynn Hobgood.
"Positive guest interaction and feedback from our guests at the downtown location was our inspiration for opening a second restaurant," Sam Hobgood said. "It's a chance to enter a new market at a great location with a positive history. We now have the opportunity to grow our team from within and to help people have an exciting career in the food service industry"

This is where things got a little messy.
I started out using Odin3.07 and loaded the I605VRUEMJ9 file in the PDA section of odin and booted my Note II into download mode and started it.
It would make it to NAND Write Start and just never do anything from there. Tried it a couple times and it repeatedly did the same thing.
After that my phone would only boot up to the point where it says Samsung Galaxy Note II and get stuck there, and if you didn't know, that's the very first thing that pops up...
After this I tried flashing a I605VRALJB restore file and when I try to flash that, I get a runtime error from Odin

text: I have and love the Kufra Pitcher from Bormioli Rocco. Unlike most pitchers lately, this one is made in Italy from Duralex tempered glass (not plastic!). It also has a unique removeable insert that can be used to hold ice and keep it separate, so the beverages stay cool without ever getting watering down. It's really the perfect pitcher for iced tea, sangrias or just keeping lemon-infused water ice cold in the fridge.

Look around you today. Have you seen women wearing red or sporting a "red dress" pin on their lapel?
That is because today is National Wear Red Day, sponsored by Go Red for Women and the American Heart Association.
Go Red for Women was created by the American Heart Association in 2004 to raise awareness of heart disease in women and give women the tools to assess their individual risk and live a more heart healthy life.
Many people think that cardiovascular disease is a disease of men but it is the number one cause of death in women in the US, claiming nearly 500,000 lives each year.
In fact, more women die of heart disease than men in the US.
Major risk factors for cardiovascular disease include hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and abnormal lipid levels which include elevated total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides and low HDL cholesterol.
There are numbers that all women should know so that they can assess their risk. The optimal level for blood pressure is less than 120/80.
Higher levels suggest pre-hypertension or hypertension that needs lifestyle changes or medication treatment.
The optimal level for total cholesterol is less than 200, for LDL cholesterol is less than 100, for triglycerides is less than 150, and for HDL cholesterol is greater than 50.
Depending on your overall risk factors, your medical provider may recommend lifestyle changes alone or in combination with medications.
The best assessment of overall glucose metabolism and diabetes mellitus is a blood test called hemoglobin A1c. The optimal level for hemoglobin A1c is less than 7 percent.
There are lifestyle interventions that we should all practice to lower our risk of cardiovascular disease. Maintaining an ideal body weight is very important.
The body mass index (BMI) is a calculation of your weight relative to your height. You can calculate your BMI on the Go Red for Women website.
The ideal BMI is less than 25 kg/m2. The ideal waist circumference is less than 35 inches for women. Women should do 150 minutes per week of moderate exercise or 75 minutes per week of vigorous exercise.
They should also engage in muscle-strengthening activities at least 2 days per week.
Diets should be rich in fruits, vegetables, whole-grain/high fiber foods, as well as oily fish which are rich in omega-3 fatty acids at least twice a week.
Saturated fat, cholesterol, alcohol, sodium, and sugar should be limited and trans-fatty acids avoided.
Cigarette smoking as well as exposure to environmental tobacco smoke should be avoided. The use of illegal substances such as cocaine and methamphetamines can also lead to cardiovascular events and should be avoided.
There are other things that can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.
A family history of premature cardiovascular disease in first degree relatives ( age less than 55 years in a male relative and less than 65 years in a female relative)increases the risk.
Women who have a history of pregnancy-induced hypertension, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, or polycystic ovarian syndrome also have a higher risk of heart disease.
The metabolic syndrome also increases the risk of heart and vascular disease as well as diabetes mellitus.
If you have 3 of the following, you have metabolic syndrome: waist greater than 35 inches, triglycerides greater than 150, HDL cholesterol less than 50, blood pressure greater than 130/85, or fasting glucose greater than 100.
Two websites that I would recommend are www. goredforwomen.org and www.sangerheart.org (patient resources).
They are good resources for information and tools to help you assess your own cardiovascular risk and get heart healthy.

January 9 - Wheelchair Basketball Canada have announced the 24 athletes that will represent the country this year as members of the men's and women's teams with 19 members from London 2012 returning to the two sides.
The 2013 squads sees nine returning players from the London 2012 Paralympic gold medal winning men's team and10 returning players from the women's team, who narrowly missed out on a medal at the Paralympics.
The 12-athlete men's team is headed by the experienced David Eng (pictured top), who captained the unbeaten gold medal winning team at London 2012.
He is joined by London 2012 compatriots Abdi Dini, Adam Lancia, Brandon Wagner, Chad Jassman, Dave Durepos, Robert Hedges, Tyler Miller and Yvon Rouillard.
Newcomers Aaron Moseley-Williams, Mickael Poulin and Nikola Goncin complete the team.
But the men's side have lost their star player Patrick Anderson, who retired following London 2012 after spearheading his team's successful gold medal campaign.
"The three new players give our senior team an injection of youth and top-end speed and I'm looking forward to working them into the various line-up combinations," said Team Canada men's head coach Jerry Tonello.
"At the same time, I'm excited about the additional opportunities for our development athletes and Futures Programme players to compete internationally in 2013."
Meanwhile the 12-athlete women's team see the superb Tracey Ferguson named where she is joined by fellow London 2012 Paralympians Cindy Ouellet, Elaine Allard, Elisha Williams, Katie Harnock, Jamey Jewells, Janet McLachlan, Maude Jacques, Tamara Steeves and Tara Feser.
Alarissa Haak and Amanda Yan are the two newcomers to the team.
"Our team is a fast, high-energy group and I'm looking forward to watching our younger players develop and learn from the dedication and motivation of our veterans," said women's head coach Bill Johnson.
The teams were selected from a pool of 46 athletes made up of 22 men and 24 women who attended a week-long selection camp earlier this month in Las Vegas.

What's that old line? Never pick a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel? You don't hear it that much in these digital days, but there probably is some truth to it. For starters, you might get ink all over your khakis.
But I'm thinking it really doesn't apply to me because I work for a company that does buy ink by the barrel, if not the tanker car. So what the heck. And, I didn't start this fight, after all.
In the other corner, the Pine Cone, the weekly paper that specializes in promoting development in Carmel and that features editorials that could have been written by Dick Cheney.
In the latest edition, the P.C. gets worked up again about the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which it clearly does not care for. Opening with some restraint, the paper says the law "has grown into a monstrous hydra that is constantly used by tiny groups of activists and disgruntled individuals for purposes (that) have nothing to do with protecting the environment."
While I do agree that CEQA is sometimes abused by opportunistic lawyers, as I have opined in this page, I diverge from the P.C.'s key point. That's that it would be a bad idea to require an environmental impact report for a proposed test well in connection with Cal Am's proposed desalination plant.
Requiring an EIR for the test well is proposed by environmental and public records lawyer Michael Stamp. In the view of the P.C., it is another one of Stamp's bad, very bad, horrible ideas.
The problem, the P.C. correctly asserts, is that the test well will help determine the environmental impact of a series of wells that would supply water to the full-blown desalination plant.
"Give that a minute:," the P.C. goes on, before incorrectly concluding, "They want an EIR to assess the environmental impacts of preparing an EIR."
Well, uh, no. "They" want an EIR to assess the environmental impacts of drilling a test well on the Marina shoreline in advance of building a $400 million-plus desalination plant. "They" want a qualified entity to figure out whether the location, size and other details of the test well might be problematic from an environmental perspective.
No one is suggesting the desalination plant's environmental impact report be subjected to an environmental impact report. Even the most lawsuit-happy environmental lawyers haven't tried that to daisy chain the CEQA law that far yet.
Where the Pine Cone editorial falls shorter than usual is in its failure to even try to explain what's wrong with performing meaningful environmental review before sticking a big drill deep into the sand and pumping water out of the ocean.
Buy maybe this could explain it. Perhaps it was a test editorial, like a test well. Maybe it was meant to determine whether a future, larger editorial would benefit from similar hyperbole. Maybe it's only meant as an exaggerated example intended to make a point in a way that might not be understood if the writer stuck to reality.
Giving the writer the benefit of the doubt, I do not believe he was at all serious when he also suggested that because of Michael Stamp's position, future environmental impact studies may be required to asset subjects such as "your grandmother's arthritis." I'm thinking that was meant as another, more innocent test of hyperbole — one that differs from the first in that it was meant to amuse rather than mislead.

I ordered this for my friend for a special birthday gift. She loves the smell and says her skin is luminous!
I have combination skin-- oily yet sensitive/dry in some areas. This is a great antioxidant serum!
Started using from a starter kit I received and have ordered two more as this seems to balance my skin and feels great. I love it!
This a fabulous serum from Eminence. It works great as a moisturizer for your skin without the somewhat greasy feel of lotion. It has a pleasant scent and leaves your skin hydrated, smooth and fabulous. I really love adding it to my winter skin care routine.
This serum was recommended to me by an aesthetician for hormonal breakouts and it has definitely helped with my pregnancy related acne. It's difficult finding safe yet effective treatments during pregnancy and Eminence's products are up to the task.
After I started using this product, my breakouts became non-existent! It really does control hormonal acne and oil production. I cannot live without it and will repurchase this over and over!
Love the way it makes my skin feel, especially in conjunction with vitamin C serum. Goes on nicely, smells great, and improves skins overall look and feel. Also absorbs in nicely, so great to use during the day.
In addition to being a great light hydrator for sensitive skin, it has helped with the frequency and severity of my hormonal breakouts. Great product!
A great pick me up serum, as described. I do feel it assists with eliminating excessive oil production and just feels great on the skin. I would definately purchase again and I would also consider picking up one of the eminence hydrators for my skin type. The only downfall is the price. Eminence rarely goes on sale and you cannot use coupons. Overall, though, I am pleased with the products I have tried thus far. I look forward to purchasing again.

I attended the gsummitx – Gamification in Montreal event at the offices of I Can Go Without , where my very good friend, Jihane (@JihaneElAtifi) works, and they had Gamification expert, Gabe Zicherman (@gzicherm) speaking about, well Gamification.
Leading up to that evening, I spent the afternoon playing a video game on my iPad. So I'm not a gamer in anyway. I play sudoku and bejewelled and lots of puzzle games, but hardly ever anything more elaborate than that. Never really had a console except for a Nintendo Gameboy and DS. And if ever I played a computer game, it was more on the strategy side of things like Command & Conquer, Age of Empires and Civilization.
As I ran out the door, late because I was so engrossed in the new game, I updated my Facebook status about how I missed playing video games and how they were addictive. I got a bit of a backlash on facebook about how games are bad for you, or you shouldn't waste your time all day playing them. I always got very confused about peoples anti-gaming rhetoric, and how they don't realize how much of life is really a game. How we can actually benefit from games, or game theory being applied to much of everyday tasks.
So here I was at the presentation, and absolutely blown away by some of the most amazing examples of applied game theory, and gamification to solve real world challenges. The definition of gamification, if your not familiar, according to Gabe Zicherman is:
The process of game-thinking and game mechanics to engage users to and solve problems
Applying that to products and services, things can get very fun, very engaging and very useful beyond the intrinsic use of the said product or service. Amazingly enough, there are already an abundance of products/services that apply game mechanics to them, and we hardly notice it. We actually expect that. Exercise equipment that tracks progress, encourages, awards points and achievements and shares them on social networks. Its almost a standard now.
One of the examples Gabe talked about was of a tech company CEO who wanted more people to go to the gym and exercise for a myriad of reasons. So he built gyms in the office. Not much changed until he implemented a game to incentivize his staff to use them. And KABLAM! Around 80% of his staff use the gym 2 days or more a week. Thats incredible! I think at least. (You can hear him tell the story in the video).
Another example was CodeAcademy.com, whose philosophy is that everyone should learn to read and write code in the modern age. They built a gameified system that taught over 1 million people to code. Thats more than all of the STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Maths) programs in the US put together.
Gabe gives a bunch of great examples in the video, so I wont repeat, but they are astonishing and innovative. Check it out.
I've never really thought of games as bad for you, even while growing up, boys my age would always get in trouble for playing too many video games, and i think till this day it happens. I think society in general should really have a second look at what games and video games are, and how they impact our lives for the better, and how we can leverage that.
I bought the book "Gamification by Design" , and will be learning how to implement these ideas in to my next web app project, which i'm in the process of building these days.
You can find out more on the subject at Gamification.co

Get UK Law Questions Answered by Verified Experts
Thank you.
Can you let me have thebackground as to why you want to do this because I may be able to assist in adifferent way? Thank you
Whatdocumentation do you have to confirm that you did indeed have a mortgage withthem? I am not certain what you mean by "standard security for land registry"
Have yousent them a copy of the mortgage deed?
Did youwrite to them or have you been trying to deal with this on the telephone?
I acceptfully that this is proof that you had a mortgage with them. What proof do youhave that there was PPI attached to the mortgage?
That is theimportant thing.
I can tellyou that although there have been many attempts to get one off the ground,there is no central record of mortgages, borrowers, lenders or account numbersand if the Halifax records have been destroyed because the mortgage wasdischarged 17 years ago, then there is nothing that you, solicitor or even thecourt can do about it.
You arefaced therefore with coming up with some proof that there was PPI attached tothe mortgage and of the amount that you paid.
You canrefer this to the Financial Ombudsman on the basis that Halifax are beingobstructive and it would be for the Ombudsman to decide whether they genuinelyhave not got these records or not.
I mustadmit that I am inclined to think that they are simply saying they are not ontheir computer and I do not think they have carried out a search of their oldrecords. I cannot believe that the Halifax do not have this information. Youcould get a solicitor to threaten an application to court for pre-actiondisclosure that if they genuinely do not have these records, there is nothingthat you can do or the court can do, as I said earlier.
It would beworth speaking to this firm, http://aegis-law.co.uk/aegis-online/contact-us/
who have aspecialise in PPI claims. We are not allowed to recommend firms on here but Ido have experience of using them. Speak to Shirley Shacklady and mentioned thatyou came from this site.
Don't usethe contact email because my understanding is that it does not work or isunreliable. Pick up the phone. The telephone call will only cost you the priceof the phone call which is a local rate. They will not charge you for givingthe advice and would probably take this on for you. If it is not one that theywould take on (bear in mind that if they do not recover anything, they do notget paid) than it is one of those that I am sorry, but you are probably goingto have to write-off.
The threaddoes remain open for me to answer follow-up questions.
I amoffline shortly until later and will pick this up then if needed.

6 Reviews of Chatsworth Ford
"Services has Dropped!"- momahoop
I have used Chatsworth Ford for the last 8 + years and loved them. We would get everything there tires, batteries. However their service has dropped. I took my car to get my normal oil change and service yesterday they did not re set my oil light. They say the checked my tires and marked them in the green. My tires has 80K miles on them and 2 year ago 40k I had 2 tires in the yellow. I don't feel my car was even looked at. I will not be going back. I was looking at getting a new car however it will not come from Chatsworth Ford.Read More

"Chatsworth Ford Manager Jon Kidd is a joke!"- Chris
Chatsworth Ford's detail shop damaged my truck and then joked about it. I was in their car wash tunnel in my Tundra earlier today, behind an unmanned vehicle that someone had dropped off to get cleaned up because they did not have time to wait. All is cool so far. At the end of the car wash (AT THE BLOW DRYERS), the unmanned truck had moved past the sensors and now their system continues to push my truck into the unmanned truck sitting at the end of the line that the employees had failed to move. So now, my truck is pushed into the truck in front of me and that truck has also been pushed into the truck in front of it. Wait, it gets better. Upon exiting my vehicle that is pinned between their system and 2 other trucks, I asked the lady attendant (older lady with longer blondish hair) what to do, and she had the nerve to yell at me. LOL! Instead of arguing, suggested that I will simply make a police report to avoid further conflict. Now, I am waiting on Murray County SO to show up so I leave my truck where the incident occurred inside the bay and proceeded on foot to the entrance of the facility to greet MCSO. Approx. 3-5 minutes later, the young kid (wearing camo rubber boots) who was checking people into the carwash entrance came and asked me to move my vehicle and I replied "As soon as Murray County gets here and we get this resolved". He walked of and proceeded to call me a "dick". Fast forward...... Jon Kidd (Manager/Owner at Chatsworth Ford) enters the picture (since Cworth Ford owns the car wash) and proceeds to ask me to move my truck because I am blocking his carwash from functioning. After a few identical words being exchanged to the tune of "After MCSO arrives", he also presumed to call me a "dick" and walk off. Now.... MCSO finally arrives, I move the truck, get the report and ask Jon Kidd how he wishes to handle the damage to the front of my truck and he replies that "he will think about it and that this would have gone smoother had I handled this differently." Wow. I will NEVER do business with Fantastic Finish or Chatsworth Ford as long as I live and I will advise as many people as I can in the next year to avoid them at all cost. It appears after reading reviews of Jon Kidd as well as Chatsworth Ford and Fantastic Finish car wash that I am not the only one who has a bad taste. Beware.Read More
"reviews"- David Baine
I was unhappy after purchasing a new ford edge for my wife in early summer.. We weren't really given a good rate and paperwork was drawer up as if we would just sign to get a new car.. Upon informing the rude salesman, Chris Penley, and refusing to accept terms,we were then given a decent deal. Then insult to injury we went next door to have it detailed and met an even ruder lady manager there. Was an awful cleanup,streaked ,soap clinging to the car.. My wife complained and was brushed off. I did and was told to leave the property and not come back. I informed her I would go next door to the dealership,that she was rude,offensive,and just awful for no reason.. She then laughed and stated that her husband owned the ford place and the carwash. She was the manager and would run it as she saw fit.so I left,never been back. Posted on car dealer complaints site,was approved then posted. 2 days later my posting was removed lol. They can have chatsworth ford,the wash too. Dalton's not that far.Read More
"On 3/5/14 I went to Chatsworth Ford for oil change which ..."- MarieWard
On 3/5/14 I went to Chatsworth Ford for oil change which I've done for several years, had discount oil change coupon 25.99 and had air filter added for $20.00 and was charged to much total was $60 and change. Since management change the service isn't good. I talked with Jon Kidd about the poor service and he promised to do better. I'm sure techs are good but service was terrible. I have 2006 Ford Explorer after oil change computer wasn't reset and oil leaking down oil filter. After telling Jon Kidd all the problems his solution was that my business was no longer need and not to come back there. I felt discriminated against after being loyal costumer with them. Mr. Kidd has made no attempt to contact me, apologize or to refund me for the over charge. I thought you valued your customers. I travel to Chatsworth from Dalton because I did value the service. Now I feel like I spent our hard earn money with a company that doesn't value Ford owners and want to rip them off. thanks for your help with this matter. Mr. Tim WardRead More

So, while I'm convalescing with my head cold and waiting to feel better so I can start plastering the fireplace, I'm still chipping away at my dining room buffet project.
You may wonder why we move so slowly on projects. Of course we have the usual reasons: budget, time, et cetera. But the other reason, which I suspect is common, is fear. A little thing like moving a phone cord can easily become a much larger project. You open a wall, you have no idea what you're getting into. I speak from experience (*cough* leaky faucet -> whole house rewiring project *cough*). One or two of those, and you get a little DIY PTSD.
Case in point, the phone cord in the dining room. You probably didn't notice, but the other day when I showed the dining room, you could see the phone cord stapled to the wainscoting and up to the phone.
See? No? Here, let me help you:
It's been like that since I got the phone for Christmas a couple of years ago. Not a big project, but since it involves opening walls, Mr. Magpie had been avoiding it. I hadn't really needed it before, but I have finally reached a point where I am ready to plaster and paint in there, and I kinda wanted the cord to not be there! 🙂
After some deliberation about options, Mr. Magpie decided to work from the other side of the wall (no wainscoting). We got lucky and the phone cord came down from the attic, so we didn't even have to splice it, just reroute it to where we needed it.
Amazingly, he did that in about an hour and a half, then patched the wall back up and everything when he was done! That's what I call extra bonus service. Often we don't have time to patch the hole, too, and then the hole sticks around for ages, too.
The hardest part of the whole thing was getting a short little phone cord to plug the phone into the wall socket. Nobody carries them anymore! People didn't even know what we were asking for. One person asked if we really meant USB cable. A friend finally gave us one out of their cable stash. I guess we're really going old school here!
Here it is done:
And it looks even better if I put my one finished chair (with white legs instead of the unpainted brown), doesn't it?
I really need to do the legs on the last three chairs.
So now I have my little red phone, and my little pink chair, and we're all set for long chats with friends.
And yes, we have a land line. I know that's kind of weird in today's world. For years I didn't bother, I just had my cell. But I'm notorious for leaving my cell phone at the other end of the house, and my parents needed us to be able to respond immediately. So we got a land line. And you know what? I'm so glad I did. There's something sort of cozy about knowing that someday my kids might be able to call me, no matter where they are or what they're doing, and this red phone would ring and I would answer. And I would sit in the pink chair and hear about their lives.
Not too soon, of course.
As for my dining room, how that the cord is installed and the buffet cabinets have been polyed, I can work on the doors and drawers now, but more importantly I can start plastering the walls. Between this wall and the fireplace, I guess I have a lot of plastering in my future! 🙂 Good thing I enjoy it.
What about you? Do you get nervous about aspects of a project and get stalled? How do you overcome it?
