I used to like taking naps when the rare occasion presented itself; however, they're something in which I've not indulged for years now. Maybe it's the whole "single mom to 6 kids" thing and the overwhelming self-inflicted guilt I feel when I take time for myself. At any rate, I never sleep during the day.
Sunday, it rained. Of course it rained. It's August in Florida. Anyway, it rained, effectively putting a damper on my plans to hang out at the pool with my kids, so instead, I plopped down on my bed with a bottle of nail polish, planning to take a few minutes to give myself a pedicure. The next thing I knew, I was waking up completely disoriented.

Location: Spring Grove Cemetery & Arboretum
Public Tram Tour
Sunday, October 27, 2019 / 1:00pm
TOPIC: HISTORY and HERITAGE
Members of the Cincinnati Horticultural Society formed a cemetery association in 1844. They endeavored to find a location suitable for creating a picturesque park like institution -- a rural cemetery -- contiguous to the city yet remote enough not to be disturbed by expansion. They sought to acquire enough land to be used for funerary purposes into the indefinite future, which could be embellished with shrubbery, flowers, trees, walks, and rural ornaments. These men traveled throughout the United States and Europe visiting cemeteries of outstanding reputation and beauty as they planned a cemetery that would equal the famed beauty of Pere la Chaise in Paris, and various outstanding cemeteries on the East Coast of the U.S. The 'Spring Grove's Heritage' tour will teach you how Spring Grove began, about notable residents, and beautiful monuments, mausoleums, and horticulture.
ONLINE ONLY Registration is required. Registration will open on September 28, 2019 at NOON.
Group size is limited – These tours are meant for individuals or small groups. If you have 5 or more people, please contact Irene Brown to schedule a private tour. 513-853-6877 or email@example.com
CASH ONLY (exact cash appreciated)
Since its founding 150 years ago, Spring Grove Cemetery & Arboretum has been an important part of Cincinnati's heritage. It serves as a guardian of much of Cincinnati's past. In 1995, the Board of Trustees established the Spring Grove Heritage Foundation to educate the public about and promote the natural beauty and historic integrity of Spring Grove in ways not normally covered by the cemetery's operations. Through the sponsorship of events, tours, workshops and seminars, the Foundation serves to promote Spring Grove's cultural, historic, and natural resources. Often referred to as a "museum without walls," Spring Grove possesses fine art and architecture of eclectic styles as diverse as any collection. Your $4 or $5 donation goes to the Spring Grove Heritage Foundation.

An architect designs a one square meter home that you can sit, stand, even sleep in.
What are the limits of architecture? Those same limits that define the home, which, as the world's smallest house proves, need not be greater than one square meter. Designed by Van Bo Le-Metnzel, a native of Laos and one time refugee, the "One-Square-Meter House" was inspired by his personal history and those experiences that led him to explore the architecture of home.
The house is easy to assemble and can be fabricated using everyday materials from the local hardware store. Yet despite its humble stature and simple fame, the structure is surprisingly flexible: when positioned upright, there is sufficient room for the (sole) user to stand or sit at a desk to read or stare out into the landscape beyond. Tilted on its side, the house becomes a sleeping capsule, with the inside face of the tiny gable folding up to support the user's reclined body. The "hut" was designed to be used indoors or outdoors and whose exact function is never fixed to any place or time (the house is fixed with wheels, which makes it entirely mobile and easy to roll away). It can take the form of a study, office, doghouse, or even an spare bedroom.
Le-Metnzel, architect and founder of Hartz IV Möbel, conceived of the diminutive house in collaboration with Corinne Rose of Berlin's BMW Guggenheim Lab, which recently hosted a workshop to encourage Berliners to take part in the production of these new homes. The prototype is currently in production, with duo hoping to market the pods on a global scale.
The Lab ends its Berlin run on July 29th, but before then it will make the homes available to students and travelers for a mere €1/night, and can be rented on Air BnB. Afterward, the project will go on a six year tour around the world, with stops in Mumbai and New York City to bring the 1-square-meter revolution to an overcrowded world.

Mark down Scion FR-S crash number three. This one happened before its owner had even put tags on the car.
Perhaps seeing a car that many new owners are doing their damndest to fling around corners in the ultimate RWD drift isn't much of a surprise (blame Chris Harris). What's interesting is how we found out about this wreck. The dealership the car came from told a prospective FR-S buyer.
Specifically, they told a customer who also happens to be a Jalopnik reader when he emailed them asking how often they get new FR-S models in. Along with an email telling him how long he'd have to wait for a manual, or if he was really desperate, automatic model, came pictures and a little description of the ill-fated hoonmobile.
We've already had our first FR-S accident. This owner has 30+ years of driving experience and this was not his first or third rwd car. The FR-S as we all know is a very balanced car but when it bites it can bite really hard and this is an example of what could happen. Having all the stability aides ON doesn't make you less off a "driver" or make the car less fun to drive. You can have all the seat time in the world with rear wheel drive cars, attend numerous track days,…. but it's the one time it snaps (oversteers) and you can't recover is the one you will never forget. The impact broke the connection of the left rear trailing link arm to the suspension. The impact occurred to the right rear wheel which deployed the side curtain airbag but the energy was so severe that it broke the left rear trailing link. The car is less than a month old and hasn't even received its plates yet which takes 4-6 weeks.
Similar to the last FR-S wreck we reported, this one also involves the rear suspension. Oversteer is a bitch. Will we see more of these hucked cars with damaged rear ends? Only time will tell.
This makes me wonder how many other highly anticipated first model sports cars ended up in a similar fashion. (Hat tip to Arturo!)

Dr. Dre's powerful rolodex was put to good use for the launch of Beats Music with a concert featuring Eminem, Diddy and Nas.
Nineties hip-hop was the theme for Dre's party Friday night at the Belasco Theatre in Los Angeles. Eminem and Dre closed the night, performing the hits "My Name Is," ''Forgot About Dre" and "Lose Yourself."
"Thank you for being here," Dre told the feverish crowd, who jammed along as classic rap hits played back-to-back.
U.S. & World
Paul McCartney, Drake, Selena Gomez and Macklemore were among those who attended the tightly packed event.
Mase reunited onstage with Diddy to perform "Mo Money Mo Problems" and "It's All About the Benjamins," while Blackstreet joined Dre for "No Diggity," which the rapper produced.
Beats Music, a streaming service set to compete with Spotify, iTunes Radio and others, launched Tuesday. It is part of the rapper-producer's Beats Electronics brand, which he launched with record executive Jimmy Iovine in 2008 and features the ultra-popular Beats by Dre headphones.
Other performers Friday included Busta Rhymes, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Arrested Development, Method Man, Redman and Scarface.
Beats Music was curated with Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor.

A Search for Tefillin in Katmandu
How do you get a hold of a pair of tefillin in Katmandu?
This was the dilemma facing a young American Jew who sent an e-mail to Rabbi Yaakov Lubow, an outreach director at Yeshivat Ohr Somayach in Jerusalem.
Rabbi Lubow met Jonathan at a Jewish Learning Exchange program in Connecticut last summer. When he called him a few months later he learned that the young college student who had so recently been introduced to his Jewish roots was planning "to visit Nepal and the Far east to study the Tibetan exile in view of our own." The response of the rabbi was "they say that the further you remove yourself from Judaism the closer it brings itself to you."
Jonathans communication confirmed the wisdom of Rabbi Lubows words. The only trouble was that he thought it was a simple matter to borrow tefillin wherever he would be so he left his own pair at home "thinking that they were too expensive and delicate to attempt to travel with". With nothing but a kippa and a siddur for his spiritual nourishment, he appealed to Rabbi Lubow for any idea of how he could find a pair of kosher tefillin in that part of the world.

Suu Kyi to be freed in November, minister says
Issued on: Modified:
Myanmar pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi will be freed when her house arrest ends in November, a government minister was reported as saying. Her release may be too late for this year's parliamentary elections.
REUTERS - Myanmar pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi will be freed when her house arrest ends in November, according to a government minister quoted by witnesses on Monday, but critics said that may be too late for this year's elections.
Home Minister Major General Maung Oo told a Jan. 21 meeting of businessmen and local officials the 64-year-old Nobel Peace Prize winner would be released in November, a month after many observers expect Myanmar to hold its first parliamentary elections in two decades.
The information could not be verified independently but three people who attended the meeting said the comment was made to an audience of several hundred people in Kyaukpadaung, a town about 565 km (350 miles) north of the former capital, Yangon.
The three witnesses requested anonymity and Myanmar Home Ministry officials could not confirm the comments were made.
Suu Kyi, detained for 15 of the past 21 years, was sentenced to a further 18 months of detention last August for harbouring an American who swam uninvited to her lakeside home, raising questions over whether the election will be a sham.
That incident took place in May 2009, just before an earlier period of house arrest was due to end. Taking into account the three months she spent in a prison guesthouse after the incident, her 18-month sentence would end in November.
The planned election would be the first since 1990, when Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy (NLD) party scored a landslide victory that the country's junta refused to recognise.
Maung Oo also said 82-year-old NLD vice-chairman Tin Oo, a former defence minister and retired general, would be released on Feb. 13 after 10 years in detention.
No cheating
The minister said the government would pursue an international-style market economy after holding "free and fair" elections, including loosening restrictions on car imports.
"We are not a power crazy government," Maung Oo was quoted as telling the meeting in Kyaukpadaung.
"The election will be held in 2010 without fail. I promise the election will be free and fair, there will be no cheating."
Senior NLD official Khin Maung Swe said it was crucial Suu Kyi and Tin Oo were released before the election.
"The most important thing is they must be freed in good time so that they can work for national reconciliation," he said.
The military junta has not set a date for the vote but has promised U.S. President Barack Obama and Southeast Asian leaders the vote would be free, fair and inclusive.
In recent months Suu Kyi has been allowed to meet the junta's liaison officer and foreign diplomats.
The NLD has not yet said whether it would take part in the elections, portrayed by the generals as a move to a multi-party democracy but derided by opponents as a sham designed to let the army retain real power.
The United States and others are reviewing policy towards the former Burma after years of sanctions and trade embargoes failed to get the junta to improve its human rights record or relax its grip on power.
Obama has offered Myanmar the prospect of better ties with Washington if it pursued democratic reform and freed political prisoners, including Suu Kyi.
In a report released last week, Human Rights Watch said the new constitution, promulgated in 2008, "entrenches military rule and limits the role of independent political parties".
Attacks on ethnic groups had not ceased and intimidation of political and human rights activists had increased, it said.

Doctors are being urged to avoid using "undesirable terms" such as "fatness" or "obesity" when broaching a discussion about excess body fat with their patients.
"Use of such terms may offend or distress some patients and prevent them from continuing to discuss their weight," say researchers who surveyed 390 obese patients in the Philadelphia area and asked them to rate words they found the most, and the least offensive for describing their excess size.
Other undesirable descriptors patients offered up included "you are way too fat" and "you are lazy."
The words "obese" and "fat" too often carry negative and demeaning connotations, the study's authors write in the journal, Obesity.
"Very few physicians - sometimes I've seen numbers as low as 12 per cent - counsel their obese patients to lose weight," said lead author Sheri Volger, project manager at the Center for Weight and Eating Disorders at the University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine.
"By identifying how patients prefer to be talked to, we're hoping to facilitate the dialogue."
The new work was part of a larger weight loss research study. All 390 participants were patients at six primary care practices in the Philadelphia area.
Before treatment, each completed a questionnaire asking them to rank, on a scale of one to five - "from very desirable" to "very undesirable" - 11 terms a doctor might use to describe weight: weight, heaviness, obesity, BMI, excess weight, fatness, excess fat, large size, unhealthy body weight, weight problem and unhealthy BMI.
"Fatness" was rated the most undesirable of all. "Excess fat," "large size", "obesity" and "heaviness" were also ranked significantly more negative than the remaining terms, the authors write.
The preferred term was "weight" - perhaps because it's more neutral and non-judgmental, according to the researchers.
The surprise was that even "obesity", which is a medical term, was almost as universally disliked as "fatness," Volger said.
"Obesity" isn't neutral, she said. "It's judgmental and it has negative attributes ... You're imposing blame on the person; the thought may be that this person is obese and that they're at fault for the situation."
"There's a bias against obese persons, and it's not limited to the lay public," she said.
Prejudices have been reported among nurses, doctors and even those who specialize in the treatment of obesity.
Discussions about weight should be framed around other health issues, Volger said, without putting people on the defensive "and making them feel like they're a failure."
"You could say something like, 'Mr. Jones, nice to see you today, I see your blood pressure is a little high. I also noticed you're 10 pounds overweight. Do you know if you lost some weight your blood pressure could go down?' "
The findings come as Canada's leading obesity organization - the Canadian Obesity Network - prepares to release recommendations to doctors on managing obesity that will advise doctors seek permission before even raising the issue of excess weight or offering any advice, and that any such discussion be done in private, said Dr. Arya Sharma, the network's scientific director.
"There is no room for shame or blame in obesity management," Sharma said.
One quarter of adults in Canada, and about nine per cent of children aged six to 17, are now obese, according to a joint report released last summer from the Canadian Institute for Health Information and the Public Health Agency of Canada.
When figures for obesity are combined with those for being overweight, 62 per cent of Canadians overall weigh more than they should.
And the heaviest weight classes are growing the fastest: The proportion of adults falling into extreme, or Class 3 obesity, meaning a body mass index of 40 or more, has increased threefold, from 0.9 per cent of the population in 1978-79, to three per cent by 2009.

Ronald Powell and Dante Fowler will contend for the starting Buck linebacker position in the fall.
By all accounts, Ronald Powell is busting it big-time in rehab, doing everything he has to do, and more, to get himself ready for a 100-percent return to the Florida football team in August.
While he's been making great progress and impressing the coaches with his effort in the training room and weight room, Dante Fowler Jr. apparently has been doing the same with his play on the practice field — at Powell's position.
This, of course, begs the question: What happens when these two healthy bucks start locking horns in training camp competing for that same Buck position on the UF defense?
It's one of those positive problems the coaches will be more than happy to deal with come August.
"You're always saying, 'What's your best combination with 11 guys on the field?' " defensive coordinator D.J. Durkin said Thursday. "That's a decision to make in the future when we see (Powell) and what he's doing. But with Ronald healthy and Dante healthy, they're both going to be in our top 11 guys.
"We'll do some things to make sure they're both out there and playing. The greatest thing to have as a coach is competition. It makes everyone better. Competition is worth a thousand words. "Those guys know and respect each other and know how good they are as players. They're going to make each other better, and they're going to make our team better. We'll figure all this stuff out as we get to it." To have both Powell and Fowler on the field at the same time means one playing another position. Durkin said that's definitely doable because of their size and athletic ability. "There's a couple of different options," Durkin said. "They can play end. They can play Sam linebacker. There's a couple of different ways we can do it within our scheme. "If both those guys are healthy, either way, you'll see both of them out there on the field playing for the Gators. That's for sure." It has been a game-changing spring for both Powell and Fowler, according to Durkin. Powell is doing it in rehab, where is he recovering from his second ACL surgery in the past year. Fowler, a Freshman All-American in 2012, is doing it on the practice field, where he is building on his first-year accomplishments. "Ronald has been doing an unbelievable job," Durkin said. "That guy is incredible with how relentless he is with his rehab. He has been through a tough time with having the ACL and then re-injuring it and going through that whole process again. "He does it. He brings it every day to his rehab and what he's doing." Durkin said Powell is on schedule to be 100 percent for the start of camp in early August. "I know that's what he's shooting for, and we know it, too," Durkin said. "That guy, it will be a great day for all of us that know Ronald and coach him or play with him when he's able to get back on the field, because we know how hungry he is." Fowler apparently is pretty ravenous himself, the way he's been going at it this spring trying to take his game to another level. "Obviously, this is his first spring," Durkin said. "He came to us late in the summer last year, so this is really his first kind of go-around. He went through winter conditioning and now spring ball. He's learned how we do things and train and all that. "He's an unbelievably gifted football player, and he's going to continue to get better and better. He's very coachable. He's always asking what else he can do, what he needs to do better. "He's a pleasure to coach. I think that guy has a really bright future ahead of him here." It seems like a bright forecast for both Fowler and Powell — and for the Florida defense.

Like most white middle class Americans of my generation, I grew up believing that our strong market economy and democratic political institutions make us the world's greatest and most prosperous nation. The America of my youth was the product of a strong social contract that said we are all in this together—at least the white folks—and we all do best when we all do well. That contract made America the envy of the world. With the civil rights movement, many of us hoped we could expand the contract to truly include everyone.
Then Wall Street got greedy, abandoned the contract, and created a winner-take-all economy controlled by an oligarchy dedicated to growing its personal financial assets. Contrary to what Wall Street propagandists would have us believe, Wall Street is a job killer, not a job creator. It prospers by depressing wages, eliminating and outsourcing American jobs, and extracting usurious interest rates from Americans forced to borrow to put food on the table or to maintain a middle class lifestyle. The result is an America in decline and out of work.
Wall Street flies the American flag when it is convenient. It relates to America, however, as an alien occupier, much like the British prior to the American Revolution. Tax breaks and deregulation for Wall Street will only strengthen the role of the occupier and destroy more jobs than they create. An effective jobs program will increase taxes on Wall Street corporations and billionaires and regulatory restraints on their destructive practices.
Main Street is the job creator. We rebuild America's productive capacity through programs and institutions that support and invest in Main Street businesses, farms, and infrastructure owned by people who have a stake in being responsible citizens in their communities. These programs and institutions are properly funded, at least in part, by taxing the financial wealth expropriated by Wall Street corporations and billionaires through deception and unproductive financial manipulation.
To build a prosperous 21st century America we must declare our national independence from Wall Street and build a New Economy adapted to the realities of a finite planet and an interconnected 21st century world.
The underlying institutional structure of this New Economy will look a good deal like the Main Street economies of human-scale, locally rooted businesses that produced the American middle class, made America the world leader in industry and technology, and fulfilled the American Dream for millions of Americans. This economy was the product of rules put in place in response to the Great Depression of the 1930s to limit Wall Street power and hold it democratically accountable to Main Street needs and interests.
Never Miss a Beat.
Get our best delivered to your inbox.
Shifting economic and political power from a predatory Wall Street economy to a generative Main Street economy is the common theme of most every initiative documented or recommended in my book, Agenda for a New Economy and this blog series.
Unlike the American economy either before or after the Wall Street takeover, America's new 21st century economy will:
- Bring America's material consumption into balance with our ecological resources.
- Secure for every American—irrespective of race or gender—the opportunity to achieve an adequate and dignified living.
- Take a bold new step toward true democracy by creating a nation of owners who have a strong stake in the health and vitality of their local communities and natural environments.
We humans are a species of many possibilities. Wall Street has proven our ability to create a culture and institutions that cultivate, celebrate, and reward the pathologies of our lesser evolved reptilian capacities for ruthless individualism, greed, and violence. We can, if we choose, create a culture and institutions that nurture, celebrate, and reward the higher order capacities for creativity, sharing, and cooperation that make us distinctively human.
We can turn as a species from an economic system devoted to perfecting our capacity for violent exclusionary competition to one devoted to perfecting our capacity for caring, inclusive cooperation. We can turn from economic institutions that draw down Earth's nonrenewable reserves of fossil energy to oppose, dominate, and mine Earth's biosphere to institutions that work in integral partnership with the extraordinary generative capacity of Earth's self-organizing living systems.
As I witness the devastation wrought by the Old Economy, my greatest source of sadness comes from an awareness of the profound gap between our human reality and our human possibility. My greatest source of joy and hope is my awareness of the vitality of the human spirit as demonstrated by the millions of people who are working to realize their shared vision of a just and sustainable world that works for all. My greatest source of motivation is the knowledge that it is within our collective means to unleash the positive creative potential of the human consciousness and make that vision a reality.
We are privileged to live at the most exciting moment of creative opportunity in the whole of the human experience. Now is the hour. We have the power to turn this world around for the sake of ourselves and our children for generations to come. We are the ones we have been waiting for.

I was, I guess, surprised when ex-wife asked me to come. Especially because SR couldn't attend. She mentioned that I'd probably like to see the step-kids all dressed up. And I certainly did. Then somehow we arrived at the decision that I'd be the photographer for the wedding. I didn't realize at the time what an integral part of the wedding this would make me.
I should say that they didn't call it a wedding. It was a "blessing ceremony." That title gave the ceremony a nice feeling. Why not celebrate and bless the love between a couple? It's a great idea.
The white dress and tux, worn by ex-wife and her partner respectively, did give one the feeling of being at a wedding, though. As did the ceremony in a church, the reception with dinner and a dj.
I just hope they had the celebration they wanted. But even if everything went as planned (which it seemed like it did), things didn't exactly flow like a normal wedding. Despite the guests' best efforts to seem comfortable with the whole thing, there was some awkwardness. We do live in small town midwest, after all. The speeches were few, short and a little forced. And there were some family members who didn't attend. They had booked a beautiful banquet hall with so much good food, but that made the unexpected small number of attendees even more obvious.
When I think of the discrimination against gay marriage, initially I get angry. Then I just get sad.
All that being said, I had a really good time. I got to meet some of SR's old friends. I had heard him talk about them, so it was so fun to hear their impressions of him. I was not surprised by how sad they were that he wasn't there.
Plus I got to listen to a long conversation between ex-wife's mom and my mom. Suffice it to say it was entertaining.
Overall it was a fun day and it was a treat to play with step-son and step-daughter in all their fanciness. I'm almost cried though when I said goodnight to them. We've only got one more week where we're all together.

The following two domains are aliases using the same DNS data on the same servers here:
The authoritative DNS servers for these domains are usually running the very latest development release of gdnsd, and serve as the author's primary public testbed during development cycles.
For cut and paste convenience, the nameserver/webserver IPs:
ns1 (aka dallas)
ns2 (aka newark)
These domains are also testing gdnsd's IPv6 DNS support as well, thanks to linode.com's Native IPv6 support. All hosts and services here are v6-enabled, and gdnsd is serving proper IPv6 data over IPv6 itself (including reverse DNS for some ipv6.he.net tunnels I use at home). These domains also both have proper IPv6 glue at the GTLD servers upstream.
Within the test domains standard hostnames like "www" exist, as well as a wildcard "*.wild" which contains a few different RRs, for you to use for testing.
Direct access to the server instances' internal stats (normally, you probably wouldn't expose these in production) can be found here:
gdnsd-plugin-geoip is now being tested here as well, using the publicly available GeoLiteCityv6 database from Maxmind, and fully supporting optimized edns-client-subnet queries.
The hostname "www" uses it for dynamic address resolution. Assuming no current outages at either site, client addresses in North and South America, Oceania, Antarctica, and a few major countries along the East and SouthEast edges of Asia should receive the "dallas" addresses noted above, and clients in Europe, Africa and the rest of Asia should receive the "newark" addresses.
The hostname "search" is also set up to test dynamic CNAME resolution. The split is as above, but with the "dallas" group of locations resolving to "www.google.com", and the "newark" group of locations resolving to "www.yahoo.com".
For reference, this is the plugin config used for the geoip plugin:
geoip => { maps => { my_map => { geoip_db => /usr/local/var/gdnsd/GeoLiteCityv6.dat, datacenters => [ DAL, EWR ], map => { EU => [ EWR, DAL ] AF => [ EWR, DAL ] AS => { default => [ EWR, DAL ], SG => [ DAL, EWR ], JP => [ DAL, EWR ], KR => [ DAL, EWR ], PH => [ DAL, EWR ], TW => [ DAL, EWR ], HK => [ DAL, EWR ], } } }} resources => { dtmf => { map => my_map, dcmap => { DAL => { addrs_v4 => 126.96.36.199 addrs_v6 => 2600:3c00::f03c:91ff:fe96:6a4f }, EWR => { addrs_v4 => 220.127.116.11 addrs_v6 => 2600:3c03::f03c:91ff:fe96:1282 }, } } cnsearch => { map => my_map, dcmap => { DAL => www.google.com. EWR => www.yahoo.com. } } } }
And these are the relevant RRs in the zonefiles that use the named resources above:
www 600 DYNA geoip!dtmf search 600 DYNC geoip!cnsearch
There's not much else to see here via HTTP, but feel free to explore the domain via DNS and test for interop (or other) bugs. Please direct any feedback to the gdnsd Google Group, the Issue Tracker @ Github, and/or my personal email.

Big pop for the return of Red. The crowd chanted "House of Glory" (Red's school) and "F*** TNA." Perkins and Elgin started off. They went back and forth. Red tagged in and was sent into the corner. Red went for a waistlock but was unable to move the big man. Red was able to use a dropkick to take Elgin to his knees and work him over. Strong hit the scene but was hit with some offense, sending him to the floor with a flying head scissors. Red and Perkins hit a double springboard bodypress.
It settled down to Elgin and Perkins. Perkins tried to come off the ropes with a tornado DDT but was caught and turned into an over the shoulder powerslam for a two count. Strong tagged in and nailed a backbreaker, then locked in a rear chinlock. Red nailed a ton of spinkicks and a dropkick off the ropes on Strong but was attacked by Elgin. Red hit a twisting move that turned into a DDT for the pin.
Red hit a pescado to the floor. Perkins and Red then did stereo twisting splashes on Martini and Strong on the other side. Red and Perkins worked over Elgin. Red nailed the Code Red on Elgin. They went back and forth with an insane series of moves and near falls until Strong shot Red into the air for a backbreaker and Elgin caught him with a stiff lariat for the pin.
Your winners, The House of Truth!
Really HOT match. Perkins and Red made a hell of a team. Imagine them against the Bucks or Express or Briscoes? I really thought this was the best House of Truth ever looked overall. Just an impressive match.
In between each match, the crowd is doing the Daniel Bryan "YES!" as a chant. Pretty cool way to show respect for someone who put the place on the map.
ROH TV champ Jay Lethal vs. Tommaso Ciampa (with The Embassy)
They locked up and went back and forth. Ciampa went to the outside and Jay hit a springboard dropkick off the corner, sending him to the floor. He went for a dive and took out RE Evans on the floor but Ciampa clotheslined him on the outside. Ciampa worked over Jay on the floor, sending him into the railing and beating him.
Ciampa worked over Lethal. Lethal tried to come back with a handspring elbow but was dropkicked in the face while upside down. Ciampa began picking him apart on the mat, then whipped him into the ropes and drilled him with a back elbow. Ciampa continued working Lethal over but Lethal began firing back with chops. They went back and forth with chops until Lethal drilled him with a series back into the corner. He whipped Ciampa into the opposite corner but it was reversed and Ciampa dropkicked him into the corner.
Ciampa worked over Lethal in the corner with a series of running knees but when he went for another, Lethal snapped him with a superkick. Lethal worked him over with chops and clotheslines. Lethal nailed the handspring elbow for a two count. They battled back and forth on the top and Lethal nailed Ciampa off the ropes and back into the ring. Lethal hit the flying elbow and scored a two count.
Ciampa and Lethal battled back and forth on the apron, chopping each other. Ciampa ducked one and nailed the Air Raid Crash on the apron outside with two minutes remaining. The referee began counting them out and it looked like it would end up a double countout but they returned at the 19 count with a minute remaining.
Lethal fired up on Ciampa but The Embassy got on the apron. They were all nailed by Lethal, except for Mia Yim, who's dress was grabbed and ripped by Lethal. Lethal beat the hell out of Ciampa, who started firing back as the time limit expired.
15 Minute Draw.
Lethal tried to call for five more minutes, which the crowd wanted but Ciampa attacked him and nailed the powerbomb over the knees, leaving Lethal laying. Ciampa took the TV title belt and walked out with it. When Lethal recovered and realized they stole the belt, he ran to the back.
The next event here is Sunday 6/24. We are now at intermission!
They began playing "Final Countdown", which was Bryan Danielson's theme here and the place went NUTS!
They followed that by playing Punk's old theme song, and they even ran the old lighting effects. That was pretty damn awesome. We are a long way from the Murphy Rec Center.
ROH Tag Team champions The Briscoes vs. The Young Bucks.
The Bucks attacked the Briscoes during the ring introductions but the Briscoes nailed a double clothesline. They sent Nick Jackson to the floor then hit a double Beel over the top on Matt, sending him onto his brother on the floor. The Briscoes went to the floor and worked over the challengers, sending them into the railing. All four battled around ringside with the Briscoes trashing the Bucks.
Back in the ring, Jay worked over Matt Jackson, nailing a leaping clothesline in the corner. Mark joined in the beating, slamming him into the apron. The champs began working over Matt in the corner. They drilled him with a pair of dropkicks. They slammed him and drilled him with a double shoulderblock for a two count. Nick went after Jay, who chased him around ringside. When they hit the ring, Matt grabbed Jay in a standing headscissors and Nick dropkicked him, turning the tide.
The Bucks began working over Jay but Mark hit the scene. It turned into a brawl. Matt ducked, sending Mark ove r the top. The Bucks worked him over but Mark began nailing a series of chops on Matt. Matt backdropped him. Mark landed on his feet but was superkicked by Nick, who then hit a pescado to the floor on Jay.
The Briscoes worked over Mark in their corner. Mark fought his way out and drilled Matt with a series of headbutts. He made the hot tag to Jay, who clotheslined him. Mark killed him with a stiff dropkick. Jay stomped the hell out of Matt. Nick tried to springboard in but was caught and slammed onto his brother. The Briscoes hit an awesome powerbomb neckbreaker combination on Matt for a two count. Nick pulled Mark to the floor and superkicked him. He then springboarded in and drilled Jay with an X-Factor. Matt rolled him up for a two count.
They hung Jay on the ropes and Nick came off the ropes with a 450 splash for a two count. The Bucks battled with Jay Briscoe. They nailed him with a pair of stereo superkicks for a two count. They set up Jay for More Bang for Your Buck but Mark sent Matt off the top to the rail. The Briscoes nailed the Doomsday Device on Nick Jackson, scoring the pin.

1. First slice the cabbage lengthwise into quarters. Core out the heart. Fit the cabbage into a large container and add the water and salt. Leave at room temperature for 2 hours. Drain and rinse the cabbage. Roughly chop the cabbage into about 2-inch portions following the length of the cabbage. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
2. To make the kim-chi paste, combine the water, sweet rice flour and sugar in a pot and bring to a simmer. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens approximately 1 to 2 minutes. Allow it to cool while making the guts.
3. To make the guts, add the onions, chili flakes, radish, ginger, garlic and fish sauce into a food processor and puree on high until well combined.
4. Fold the guts into the cooled paste. Add the chopped scallions. Wearing clean gloves, mix this thoroughly into the cabbage Transfer to a clean glass jar or an air-tight plastic container with a tight fitting lid.
5. Leave this container out at room temperature for 24 hours. Then store in the refrigerator. It will be ready to eat in about 4 to 5 days but will keep for another 2 weeks.

Super Showcase: Friday
ORLANDO -- Friday marked the end of pool play and the beginning bracket play at the Super Showcase in Orlando. The small amount of teams means that some big time match ups took place and were set up during the day. A few players continued their strong play while several others also stepped up.
Mixed day for Athletes First
Coming into the Super Showcase the general consensus was that Athletes First out of Oklahoma was the team to beat. Featuring five star talents Xavier Henry and Daniel Orton, they simply had more talent than anyone else.
In their morning match up with the Spiece Mo-Kan Players, on paper there was very little reason to look for an upset, but games aren't played on paper. The Mo-Kan Players came out with more energy, heart, and toughness than Athletes First. Only Henry was really in attack mode, and even he was missing shots that he usually makes.
Add in a referee that felt the need to call fouls on Orton for seemingly being 6-foot-10 and big, and there was a recipe for disaster.
Due to the lack luster effort, the Athletes First stars were benched for a good portion of the second quarter. The reserves were able to keep it close, but in the second half it was much of the same. Orton fouled out, Terrance Boyd couldn't get it going, and Kyle Hardrick wasn't picking up the slack. That all combined for a dominating win for Mo-Kan by the score of 69-52.
The loss meant that Athletes First would finish second in their pool, and were set to face the Georgia Blazers in the first round of bracket play. That turned out to be a very bad break for the Blazers. Athletes First came out of the blocks angry and focused.
Henry especially seemed focused. He had an unreal spin move off the dribble and finish which he then followed up with an impressive ally-oop. Then for good measure he decided to hit a few step back threes in the first half.
It was far from only Henry, though. Orton was a monster on the glass and with blocked shots, Boyd was getting to the rack at will, and Hardrick did all the dirty work. At one point in the game the score was 24-2 in favor of Athletes First.
The Blazers were never really able to make a game of it, but they didn't quit. Torin Walker showed some versatility to his game by hitting a pair of threes and a couple mid range jumpers. The Blazers star finished with a team high 20 points.
Henry was the story, though. He finished with 22 points despite not playing much of the second half. Boyd joined him with 15, and Athletes First rolled on to the quarter finals with a convincing 72-48 victory.
Lasers continue to roll
Maybe the story of the Showcase so far has been the play of the Alabama Lasers, and because of it several players are emerging on the radar. The highest profile Laser is Josh Langford, a four star 2010 prospect, but is getting a lot of help.
The main man again for the Lasers on Friday was Verkeno Mann. After a 25 point performance against BABC on Thursday, Mann was a monster against the Georgia Stars.
The athletic 6-foot-2 combo guard was able to do a little bit of everything. He had a ridiculous athletic tip in, a few more threes, one of the step back variety, and also he was taking his man off the dribble. For the game Mann finished with 15 points and led a balanced Lasers attack.
Joining Mann in playing well was Kerry Hammonds and Langford. Hammonds, a 2009 prospect from Murfreesboro, Tennessee, had the hot hand early drilling four threes. At the beginning of the second half the Stars thought so highly of his shooting touch that they actually switched to a box and one defense to slow him down. Langford used his length and athleticism to get second shots and finish over defenders. His jumper was definitely not hitting, but his stroke is smooth, and it looked like he has the necessarily tools to make improvements in that area.
For the Stars, recent Georgia Tech commitment Glen Rice played well. He was hitting shots from the outside and also getting to the rim fairly well. Without Kammeon Holsey or Adrian Coleman stepping up offensively, Rice was asked to do a lot.
The most impressive play for the Stars in their loss came from Kenny Hall. The Tennessee pledge jumped over a Laser and slammed home a monster tip dunk. Outside of that Hall was very solid, and looked to be improving on the offensive end.
Notes from the Note Pad
Illinois Warriors guard Darius Smith has a reputation of being a great defender, and it is well earned. In a win over the Birmingham Storm, Smith picked the pocket of the Storm guards several times leading to easy buckets for the Warriors. Even when he doesn't make a steal he plays excellent position defense and never lets him man beat him with a straight line drive.
After a strong performance at the Peach Jam, Kyryl Natyazhko continued his solid play on Friday. Though his Nike Team Florida squad fell handily at the hands of Team Final, Natyazhko finished with 13 points. To get those 13 he hit a three, took his man off the bounce, and also finished athletically above the rim.
Syracuse pledge Dion Waiters is just wired to score. Without Lamar Patterson, Waiters has to take and make a lot of shots for Final, and he is doing just that. With his ability to hit from the outside or use his strength to score down low Waiters is an absolute lock for double figures every time he steps out on the floor.
Howard Pulley big man Mike Broghammer had a terrific game against Team Final. The 6-foot-8 Minnesota native was scoring around the rim with either hand, hitting from the mid-range, and rebounding the heck out of the ball. He finished the game with a team high 24 points and continues to see his stock soar in the eyes of coaches.
With the athleticism that Rodney Williams possesses, it is sometimes scary to watch him when he is hitting jumpers. On Friday he hit a pair of threes and also a nice mid-range floater to go along with his typical highlight reel ally-oop slam.
The score at the end of the first round playoff game between The Family and the Arkansas Wings Elite Gold was 23-3 in favor of The Family. Some courtside were joking that the game needed to be called. Well, it is a good thing that they continued to play. The Wings absolutely crushed The Family the rest of the way, and came home with a slim 70-68 win.
Give credit to Durand Scott. The New York Gauchos guard just knows what it takes to win. Whenever things get tight, Scott takes the big shot for the Gauchos, and usually he makes it. That happened again down the stretch for Scott as the Gauchos closed out the Birmingham Storm in a close battle.
School Lists
Mike Broghammer listed Notre Dame, Penn State, Minnesota, Santa Clara, Harvard, Iowa, SMU, Southern Illinois, Illinois State, and Western Michigan and schools he is hearing from.
Josh Langford said that Louisville is number one on his list and the first school to offer him. Outside of the Cardinals he has heard from Miami, Mississippi State, Memphis, Stanford, Penn, Ole Miss, Auburn, and Alabama

Tulare County Sheriff's Office
Authorities say Hector Celaya, 31, was fatally wounded in a shootout with detectives.
A man shot four people dead, including a child, on a Central California Indian reservation and wounded two other children before being killed in a shootout with detectives after a car chase, authorities said.
The violence started Saturday night on the Tule River Indian Reservation in Porterville, Calif., the Tulare County Sheriff's Office said.
Deputies responding to a 911 call found a man and a woman shot inside a trailer and a male juvenile suffering from an apparent gunshot wound. Irene Celaya, 60, and Francisco Moreno, 61, were confirmed dead. Six-year-old Andrew Celaya was transported to a hospital.
At a shed on the same property, deputies found the body of another man, Bernard Franco (AKA Moreno), 53, who died of an apparent gunshot wound.
The person who called police said the suspect fled the scene in a green Jeep Cherokee.
Authorities identified the suspect as Hector Celaya, 31, and said he had taken his two daughters, 8-year-old Alyssa Celaya and 5-year-old Linea Celaya. Deputies said the suspect had allegedly shot the children.
A deputy spotted the suspect's vehicle and tried to stop it but the driver kept going, the sheriff's office said. Linea received non-life threatening injuries. Alyssa died from her gunshot wounds.
The suspect eventually stopped on the side of a road and a shootout ensued, authorities said. The suspect was shot and was transported to the hospital. He later died, the sheriff's office said.
All victims were related to the suspect and members of the Tule Indian Reservation. No further details were released.
The sheriff's office did not say what may have precipitated the shootings.

ESSAY- Q&A primer: Tips for guys facing tough questions
My husband and I are taking a walk when we pass a rather large woman. She's bent over, revealing an even larger rear end. Without missing a beat, Bill turns to me and whispers, "...and no, your butt is not that big."
I blink at him, stunned, and then pat his hand. A tear springs to my eye. "A preemptive strike. I have taught you well," I whisper huskily.
"Do I look fat?" "Is my hair okay?"
Women make guys crazy with these unanswerable questions. The men stare in response while the wheels spin in their heads: "What can I say that will get me out of here alive?" Sometimes they leave skidmarks trying to get away.
Our fault, of course. We get our husbands coming and going. If they say "No, you don't look fat," we yell, "Oh, you're just saying that!" or "You didn't even look!" If they answer in the affirmative– "Well, come to think of it, you have put on a few pounds"– it gets even uglier.
Men need to find answers that are truthful without being mean. It's a hard balance to strike. That's where this little crib sheet comes in. Designed just for husbands, it's a list of right answers to some of the toughest questions women are likely to ask. Wives, get out your scissors– you'll want to clip and give to the man in your life.
"What are you thinking about?"
Why she's asking: she wants to talk. She wants you to provide one little scrap of emotional content. It doesn't have to be earthshaking, just something that will bring her into your inner world. You don't have an inner world? In that case, make one up.
Bad answer: "Do you think the Chicago Cubs will ever win a Series?"
Good answer: "You know why I get so upset over the Cubs? It reminds me of when I was little and my father used to... [insert moving memory here; relevance not important]."
"Do these jeans make me look fat?"
Why she's asking: women have no idea what image to strive for. Hollywood stars are sickeningly thin. The average female is a size 12. We look in the mirror and don't know what we're supposed to be seeing.
Bad answer: "No. Yes. I don't know. Don't ask me."
Good answer: "You really look great. Look at the curve they give you." But suppose she really does look a little portly? Then blame the clothes. "You know, those pants really aren't hitting you right."
"Do you still love me the way you loved me when you really loved me?"
Why she's asking: this is a naked, blatant appeal for reassurance. She's feeling taken for granted. She wonders if she has just become an eternal source of meatloaf and clean clothes. Tell her yes, you love her, and then give specifics. (PS: This works even better when you say it without being asked first.)
Bad answer: "Yeah. Do you know where the remote is? Thanks."
Good answer: "You know I love you. I don't know how I'd get through life without you. Sometimes, when you walk away from me and I see that little wiggle, I wonder how I ever got so lucky. I still can't believe it sometimes."
"Can we discuss something important to me?"
Why she's asking: Incoming! Incoming! You're about to be yelled at for something you did or didn't do. Quick! Think, man, think!
Bad answer: "What'd I do now?"
Good answer: "Sure, honey, if it's important to you, it's important to me...." Your goal, however, is to play for time by disarming and distracting. Try, "But did I tell you I saw your sister kissing some guy today? It was in front of the 'buy one, get ten free' sale at that new lingerie shop." She'll be so busy on the phone, it'll be years before you see her again.
"Do you wish I still looked the way we did when we first met?"
Why she's asking: Mother Time is creeping up on her. She doesn't pay attention for five seconds and blammo! Her stomach loses all tone, her eyelids droop, and her upper arms turn to Jell-o.
Bad answer: "Jeez, you were so pretty then. I mean, now, too, but back then you were really hot. I didn't mean that the way it came out... don't hurt me."
Good answer: "What? You mean you don't?"
"Do you think that woman is attractive?"
Why she's asking: Basically, she wants to gossip and, at the same time, get a little stroked by you.
Bad answer: "She is so hot. Why don't you ever wear shirts like that?"
Good answer: "On a scale of one to ten with you as the ten? I'd say she comes in at a [pick a number significantly lower than ten]. And I'm betting implants. What do you think?"
"Do you ever think about your own girlfriend?"
Why she's asking: Curiosity. Insecurity.
Bad answer: "Sure. Sometimes I wonder what she's up to now. She was really fun."
Good answer: "Only on those nights when I wake up screaming. Please don't remind me."
"Wouldn't I look better if I had a nose job (tummy tuck, breast lift, eye job)?"
Why she's asking: she's spending way too much time staring at herself in the bathroom mirror.
Bad answer: "You look fine. Stop asking me."
Good answer: "You change anything and I'm changing it back. I want the woman I fell in love with, not some Barbie doll." Then distract her with, "Do you think I need hair implants?"
"Do you remember when we went to [emotionally charged event you swear you didn't attend]?"
Why she's asking: her nostalgia for the good old days means she's wishing she felt that close to you again.
Bad answer: "You sure that wasn't with your old boyfriend?"
Good answer: "All I remember is how gorgeous you were. Everything else is a blur."
Okay, guys, got it now? If you're feeling confident and want to improvise your own answers, fine. But remember: We want the truth, but truth filtered through love. And if you have to lie to prove your affections, don't let us stop you.

Leukemia is a type of cancer that affects the body's white blood cells (WBCs).
Normally, WBCs help fight infection and protect the body against disease. But in leukemia, WBCs turn cancerous and multiply when they shouldn't, resulting in too many abnormal WBCs, which then interfere with organ function.
If too many lymphoblasts (a certain type of WBC) are produced, a child will develop acute lymphoblastic, or lymphoid, leukemia (ALL). This is the most common type of childhood leukemia, affecting about 75% of kids with this cancer of the blood cells. Kids ages 2 to 8 are more likely to be affected, but all age groups can develop ALL.
Thanks to advances in therapy and clinical trials, the outlook for kids with ALL is promising. With treatment, about 85% are cured.
The cause of ALL is not known. However, certain risk factors might increase a child's chance of developing it.
Kids with an identical twin who was diagnosed with the illness before age 6 have a 20% to 25% chance of developing ALL. Fraternal twins and other siblings of children with leukemia have two to four times the average risk of developing it, too.
Children who have inherited certain genetic problems (such as Li-Fraumeni syndrome, Down syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome, neurofibromatosis, ataxia telangiectasia, or Fanconi anemia) also have a higher risk of developing leukemia, as do those who are receiving medicines to suppress their immune systems after organ transplants.
Kids who have received radiation or chemotherapy for other types of cancer also have a higher risk, usually within the first 8 years after treatment.
In most cases, however, neither parents nor children have control over the factors that trigger leukemia. Current studies are investigating the possibility that some environmental factors may predispose a child to develop the disease. For example, prenatal radiation exposure (such as X-rays) may trigger ALL in a developing fetus. Women who are pregnant (or suspect they're pregnant) should inform their doctors before undergoing tests or medical procedures that involve radiation.
All types of leukemia generally have the same symptoms, which include:
The subtypes of ALL are classified according to the proteins found in the leukemia cells. This requires special tests. A doctor who suspects a child has leukemia might order these tests:
Most children with ALL are treated with chemotherapy (the use of special drugs to kill cancer cells). What drugs are used and in what combination will depend on which subtype of ALL is present and how aggressive the disease is.
Chemotherapy can be given intravenously as an injection into a muscle or orally in pill form. In intrathecal (IT) chemotherapy, a spinal tap is used to deliver chemotherapy drugs directly to the cerebrospinal fluid, where cancerous WBCs can collect.
After treatment begins, the goal is remission (when there is no longer evidence of cancer cells in the body). Once remission has occurred, chemotherapy is usually used to keep the child in remission.
Maintenance chemotherapy is given in cycles over a period of 2 to 3 years to keep the cancer from recurring. Leukemia will almost always relapse (recur) if this additional chemotherapy isn't given. Sometimes the cancer will return in spite of maintenance chemotherapy, and other forms of chemotherapy will be necessary.
Some more aggressive forms of ALL might require a stem cell transplant (sometimes called a bone marrow transplant). This procedure involves destroying cancer cells and normal bone marrow and immune system cells with high-dose chemotherapy and then re-introducing healthy donor stem cells into the body. The new stem cells can rebuild a healthy blood supply and immune system.
If a child needs a stem cell transplant, a test (called tissue typing or HLA [human leukocyte antigen] typing) will be done to help doctors find a suitable stem cell donor. This works by comparing the proteins on the surface of a child's blood cells with the proteins on a potential donor's cells. The more "HLA markers" a child and donor share, the greater the chance that the transplant will be successful.
Being told that a child has cancer can be a terrifying experience, and the stress of cancer treatment can be overwhelming for any family.
Although you might feel like it at times, you're not alone. To find out about support that may be available to you or your child, talk to your doctor or a hospital social worker. Many resources are available that can help you get through this difficult time.
