The pro wrestling business' very foundations are built on the notion of good guys and bad guys, or babyfaces and heels. Sure, there's World Championships and in-ring competition, but it's seeing the good guy getting his revenge on the nefarious villain who's caused him such problems that really sells tickets and drives the industry.
Over the decades, there's been some legendary wrestling characters and runs, be it an all-conquering hero or a shortcut-taking rogue, but there are some figures who stand out above all others.
To give things a relatively modern slant, here lies an article focusing purely on the past 15 years of the WWE, meaning anything as far back as 2001 is fair game.
It's a chance to explore the greatest villains, the greatest bad guys, the greatest cheaters to have stepped foot in World Wrestling Entertainment during that period, whether it's a case of someone who's a career bad guy or maybe someone who just had a brief flirtation with the dark side.
So without any further ado, let's take a look at the 15 very best villains that the past 15 years of WWE has given us.
15 Kane
Having debuted as a heel monster back in 1997, the early years of the Big Red Machine saw him as a presence to be truly fearful of. It also helped that he was a total badass who wouldn't think twice of hitting a Tombstone on any man, woman, child or chicken.
The early 2000s saw Kane never quite hitting the heights of the Attitude Era, but there was a moment in time during the original brand split where the Devil's Favourite Demon became massively relevant for the first time in what seemed like an age.
The year was 2010 and the phrase "vegetative state" got used far too often. Once you got past that term being driven home on TV each and every single segment – Kane had reportedly found his brother, The Undertaker, in a vegetative state and was on the warpath to find out who was responsible – it actually led to a massive kick in the right direction for the Kane character. Why's that? Well, in one of the most obvious reveals in WWE history, yes, Kane was the one who had attacked Undertaker.
By the time 'Taker returned, Kane had won the Money in the Bank briefcase and successfully cashed it in on the same night against Rey Mysterio. So you had a returning Undertaker seeking vengeance against his brother, the WWE World Heavyweight Champion Kane. What was more shocking here, though, is that Kane actually came out of the feud as the victor, defeating his brother in No Holds Barred, Hell in a Cell, and Buried Alive matches.
14 Brock Lesnar
As soon as he debuted on the main roster in 2002, it was instantly known that Brock Lesnar was no mere mortal. This was a monster, a brute, a force of nature. Or in the words of Paul Heyman in later years, this was The Beast Incarnate.
Lesnar would only be with the WWE until 2004 during that run, and he'd even get some time as a babyface during that initial stint with the company, but it was as a dominating heel that he made his mark. Having debuted in a major way by destroying smaller talents like Matt and Jeff Hardy, and Spike Dudley, Lesnar tore through anyone and everyone in his way.
Brock managed to become the WWE Champion within 6 months of his debut, defeating the iconic Rock for the gold at SummerSlam 2002. With Paul Heyman at this side, Lesnar was unstoppable. In terms of dominant, bully heels, nobody in recent memory has been as untouchable as Brrrrrock Lesnar, with him even manhandling the legendary Hulk Hogan.
Since returning to the WWE in 2012, Lesnar has been a tweener of sorts, basically just being out for himself and running through heels and faces along the way. Still, his formative years as a destructive heel are something that are still fondly remembered to this day.
13 Batista
Whilst many loved Batista as the all-conquering babyface over the years, The Animal's star always shined brightest when he was on the other side of the fence.
As a heel, Big Dave initially made waves as part of Evolution, but it was his heel turn towards the end of 2009 that saw Batista do arguably the best work of his career. Having turned on his bestest bud Rey Mysterio, Batista would spend the next few months decimating the much smaller Mysterio before turning his attention to the likes of The Undertaker, John Cena and even the legendary Bret "The Hitman" Hart.
By the time Batista left the company in mid-2010, he'd become hugely entertaining and effective as the whining heel who'd belittle the smaller guys whilst also running scared when it came to facing one of the company's top tier talents. The 6-time World Champion had never been better, but just like that he was gone, quitting the company due to an unhappiness at the direction the WWE was heading.
Batista would, of course, return to the company in the buildup to WrestleMania XXX but his greatest heel run was clearly the one he started in late 2009.
12 Steve Austin
Stone Cold's infamous heel turn at WrestleMania XVII may not have sat well with fans or have been an all-round great idea in hindsight, but the Texas Rattlesnake certainly made the most of the change of character.
Many may have forgotten just how awesome Austin was at being a truly vicious heel once he made a deal with the devil and joined forces with Vince McMahon before forming the Two-Man Power Trip with Triple H. He may have ran from certain fights, like any good heel would, but Austin and Hunter's attacks on Team Extreme (yes, even Lita) were flat-out brutal.
From there, Austin would continue his heel act against Chris Benoit and Chris Jericho once The Game went down with a quad injury. Then came Austin's involvement in the whole Invasion angle, with him initially turning face and helping out the then-WWF before again turning heel as he double-crossed Team WWF and joined the Alliance.
It may have been a bad call to have Austin turn heel at WrestleMania XVII in his home state, but there's no doubt that the Bionic Redneck fully embraced his new role and did the best job possible.
11 Kurt Angle
Kurt Angle is one of the greatest talents to ever lace up a pair of boots. In the ring, very few can rival the Olympic gold medalist's skills, and on the microphone he's up there as one of the most entertaining superstars to come along in the past two decades.
Despite debuting in 1999 and soon becoming a cocky heel who championed his own achievements and his famed three I's, the 2001 WCW/ECW Invasion saw Angle become a brilliant babyface. Not to fear, though, for a dastardly return to his heel roots wasn't far around the corner.
Whether it was his legendary battles with Chris Benoit, his time under the tutelage of Paul Heyman and with Team Angle at his side, him desperately trying to screw over Eddie Guerrero during Latino Heat's WWE Championship reign, or even his hugely entertaining feud with Shawn Michaels, Kurt Angle made for just such a brilliant, brilliant bad guy whether he was positioned as the chicken sh*t heel or the wrestling machine who just loved to take shortcuts.
10 Seth Rollins
Yes, we all know his recent return should've seen him positioned as a babyface, allowing him to explode and become the face of the company, but Seth Rollins has come back from his injury issues to resume his spot as the WWE's top heel.
Regardless of the holding off on the Rollins face run for now, Seth is undoubtedly an amazing heel. For someone who's so talented, athletic and high impact in the ring, it's difficult for The Architect to not be cheered. Still, Rollins largely manages to still make his heel act work by being such a snivelling, brown-nosing, cowardly heel, complete with a grating maniacal cackle and a penchant for rubbing his opponent's faces in their failings.
Whether it's sneaking wins, retaining titles by questionable means, or even just being a puppet of the nefarious Authority, Seth Rollins has been one of the WWE's top heels for the past couple of years. It's been a great ride so far, but still… just imagine how amazing Seth can be when the trigger is pulled on the inevitable babyface turn down the line.
9 The Rock
During the late '90s, The Rock was such an entertaining heel. But whilst he was certainly entertaining, he'd still manage to always bring it back enough to make himself out to be an asshole and keep the boos coming. Of course, the then-WWF eventually gave in and turned Rocky into a face, creating one of the most popular superstars the industry has ever seen.
So, given that this list only incorporates the past 15 years, taking us back to 2001, the majority of that time saw The Rock positioned as a good guy. But cast your memory back to a brief few months in 2003. Yes, I'm talking about "Hollywood" Rock.
With many fans starting to lose their patience with The Rock taking breaks to film movies, The Great One took this hostility and ran with it, returning to the WWE in January 2003 and bigging up his movie career whilst making himself out to be bigger than the company. This new persona gave The Rock a much-needed refresh, with his act being far more entertaining than anything else on WWE TV at that point. Like any great heel though, he'd still manage to make himself out as the bad guy worthy of boos whilst still being entertaining – such as his skits with The Hurricane, his reignited feud with Steve Austin, and the first Rock Appreciation Night.
Hollywood Rock is one of the most underrated personas and acts of the past 15 years, and it's crazy to think that this particular run only lasted for a matter of months with Rocky putting over the newly-arrived Goldberg at April's Backlash event before he again left to continue his movie career.
8 Vickie Guerrero
She may have been one of the most annoying on-screen WWE characters in recent memory, but that's kind of the point.
In a time where it's hard to be a genuine heel due to the business having been long exposed and fans fully up to speed on how things work, Vickie Guerrero was one of the few people to get vitriol and hate from all corners of the WWE Universe.
For someone with no experience whatsoever of being an actual on-screen character as part of a wrestling product, Vickie soon found her feet and became a performer who elicited a crowd reaction that many superstars would be jealous of.
After a few early appearances, it was only following the death of her husband Eddie Guerrero that Vickie became a prominent fixture on WWE TV, with her becoming a regular on-screen presence in 2006 before becoming the SmackDown General Manager.
It didn't take long for Vickie to get over as a mega heel, largely down to her shrill voice and constantly shouting her "Excuse me!" catchphrase. She may not have been an in-ring talent, but Vickie Guerrero is one of the most grating heels of the past 15 years, hands down.
7 Kevin Owens
KO has only been on the WWE main roster for just over a year, having stepped up from NXT in May 2015. Since then, the former Kevin Steen has shown just why he's long been considered one of the best talents in the world.
Owens could and should be a huge babyface for the WWE whenever they decide to pull the trigger on him down the line, but in the past year he's showcased why he's one of the greatest true heels still in the business.
In a world of cool heels and cheap pops, Kevin Owens is a heel's heel. He's constantly talking trash, constantly bigging himself up, he's brilliant in how he teases spots that would get big cheers but then ultimately takes a cop out route with a headlock, and he's great in how he's not afraid to be a coward and retreat when necessary. And most importantly of all, whilst he's doing all of this he's firmly getting himself over, his opponent over, and highlighting the importance of whatever stakes are on the line. Simply put, KO makes whatever he's involved in feel as important as possible, making the most of whatever the WWE throws his way and seizing every opportunity.
Owens is one of the very best in the game right now, and his star power, be it as a heel or a face in the future, is only going to get bigger over the next few years.
6 The Undertaker
The legendary Undertaker has taken on many new incarnations over the past few decades, transitioning from an undead zombie, to the Lord of Darkness, to heading up The Ministry, to an American Badass, to returning to his roots as The Deadman. What we're looking at here, though, is his Big Evil run from 2001 to 2003.
Just about creeping into this list timewise, 'Taker's Big Evil moniker made for one of the greatest heel runs in modern memory, even if the Big Evil persona was only a heel for the first year or so of its lifespan. It may have been a little underappreciated at the time, but the following years have caused many a wrestling fan to look back and realise just how good a character Big Evil was and just how great 'Taker was in the role.
Turning heel by forcing Jim Ross to kiss Vince McMahon's ass, 'Taker soon cut his hair short for the first time in his WWE career, and he'd become a thorough bastard of the highest order, becoming the ultimate big bully act.
Seriously, if you're not a fan of Big Evil, just go back and watch him dismantle Rob Van Dam at Vengeance 2001, watch his brutalizing of Maven at the 2002 Royal Rumble, watch his creepy assault on David Flair in the build-up to WrestleMania XVIII, watch him threaten to do unspeakable things to Ric Flair's young daughter, and watch him bully The Hardy Boyz and Lita at any opportunity.
5 The Miz
You may absolutely hate him, but that just means he's great at what he does.
Given his smarmy persona and reality TV background, Mike Mizanin was always going to be a great heel if used in the right way. Sure, there may have been a few babyface runs here and there over the years for The Miz, but they felt so unnatural and forced, and as such they bombed.
Since bringing his real life wife Maryse on the road with him post-WrestleMania this year, The Miz has been on fire, delivering some of the best work of his career. Sadly, he lost a little momentum when he had to take time off to film a new Marine movie (because clearly the world was crying out for yet another Marine movie...), but he's now back on WWE TV and seems to have slipped right back into where he was before his break.
Now whilst The Miz's work of the past few months has been great, it was his ascension to becoming WWE Champion back in 2010 that was him at his very best. From his US Title run and feud with Daniel Bryan, The Miz became one of the most detested characters to come around in a long time. He'd be a heel before, but him mentoring the already-seasoned and loveable Daniel Bryan saw his heel act get taken to new acts. Then came his WWE Title win courtesy of cashing in his Money in the Bank briefcase and his subsequent retaining of the belt against John Cena at WrestleMania XXVII, much to the shock of many.
The Miz says he's awesome, and when it comes to being a heel, he really, really is.
4 Triple H
Once you get past the countless talents he reportedly held down or the times he got completely needless, pointless wins that killed a talent's momentum, Triple H has been a damn good heel for many a year.
It may have been "Game Time" far too often for many wrestling fans to stomach, but that doesn't take away the fact that Hunter is one of the most despised bad guys of the modern wrestling landscape. And if anything, bar the huge pop he got upon his Madison Square Garden return in 2002, Triple H largely flopped as a babyface whenever given the opportunity.
For the majority of his WWE career, Hunter has been the very definition of a great heel. Never afraid to take a shortcut or to simply walk out on a challenge, The Game became famous for screwing over guys like Mick Foley, The Rock, Chris Jericho and any up and coming babyface act. Then there was his brutal attack on longtime BFF Shawn Michaels upon HBK's return to the company. And of course, later on came Evolution and his subsequent turn on Randy Orton, not to mention his ensuing battles with Batista.
Basically, Triple H made a career for himself as a heel who either surrounded himself with followers or simply turned on those closest to him. Whatever he did, it certainly worked, and the Cerebral Assassin will go down as one of the biggest names of the past 20 years, whether you like it or not.
3 CM Punk
Whilst CM Punk became the hottest superstar since Steve Austin at one point in time, it's his heel work that's to be talked about here. The Second City Saint was a great, great babyface, but he was an even better bad guy.
During his time in the WWE, Punk had two notable heel runs. The first saw him turn on Jeff Hardy in what was one of the greatest feuds of the past few decades. Hardy was always a massive fan favourite but at times seemed to be missing that special something to be the huge star that his fanbase warranted. Luckily, CM Punk provided to be just that special something.
Having cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase on Jeff, Punk fully turned heel and even banished the Charismatic Enigma from the company in a Loser Leaves Town sort of bout. This was all scripted, of course, but Punk's character at that point transitioned into somebody who very much spoke the truth. Championing his straight edge lifestyle and ridiculing Jeff's very real use of drugs, Punk was doing what every great heel does: believing every single word that he was saying.
The Straight Edge Society would follow, with Punk becoming a cult leader who saw himself as a Jesus figure. Moving on from Jeff Hardy, the ever-creepy Punk would soon torment Rey Mysterio and his family. It was truly great stuff. Creepy, yes, but great.
Another heel run would occur later in Punk's WWE career, with him snapping on The Rock. Whilst Rocky would move on to battle John Cena, Punk set his sights on The Undertaker's streak, even going as far as mocking the recently deceased Paul Bearer!
2 Edge
I'll admit it, I'm one of those guys who never really saw Edge ever quite becoming a true main event guy. Sure, he was good in the ring and solid on the mic, but there just seemed to be something missing from the Toronto native. Then came the real life situation between Edge, Lita and Matt Hardy.
Off the back of Edge's affair with Lita becoming public knowledge amongst wrestling fans, the former IC Champion went on to become one of the most despised performers on the planet… and he absolutely loved every minute of it. Every boo was soaked up, every shortcut was taken, and any and every chance to just be a slimy guy was maximized to its fullest.
The irony is, Matt Hardy was the one hit hardest in real life by these events, yet it ended up being Edge who benefited the most from it all by the time everything was said and done. Embracing the Rated R Superstar moniker and becoming the "Ultimate Opportunist", Edge shot to the top of card, most notably becoming John Cena's greatest rival and ending his career as an 11-time World Champion.
Not bad going for someone who many didn't see as more than a tag team specialist or a midcard guy at best.
1 Chris Jericho
If you saw Jericho's heel turn in 2008 then you'd expect no one else at the #1 spot of this list.
Chris Jericho is one of the greatest wrestling talents in the history of the business, with him being the complete package and able to get over huge as either a babyface or a heel. Whilst many were clamouring for a Jericho babyface World Title run in 2000, it was as a heel that he really found his groove as a top level talent.
Granted, he turned heel in the build-up to becoming the first ever WWF Undisputed Champion, but it was his heel turn in 2008 that was the stuff of legend. For whatever reason, Jericho's Undisputed Championship run saw him play the awkward third wheel in a feud between Triple H and Stephanie McMahon, with the Ayatollah of Rock 'n' Rollah left cleaning up dog turds. Seriously, that happened.
In 2008, having turned on his mentor and friend Shawn Michaels, Jericho began the greatest run of his career, one of the greatest runs in recent memory, and the greatest heel act of the past 15 years. Scrapping everything that people liked about him, Jericho changed his attire both in and out of the ring, tweaked his in-ring arsenal, and completely changed up his promo style and persona as he became a cold, calculated, clinical individual who was only out for himself.
Jericho and Michaels had the hands-down greatest feud of the past decade during that time, but it wasn't just this feud that saw Jericho truly become The Best in the World at What He Does, for he would be great in every single thing he became involved in. Whether that was battling Shawn Michaels for the World Championship, engaging in a fantastic feud with Rey Mysterio, teaming with Big Show, mocking the injured Edge, or simply doing a shtick with Bob Barker, Chris Jericho cemented his status as a true icon of the business and the greatest heel of recent times.
Even during his current WWE run, 8 years removed from that 2008 heel turn and in a very different landscape, Jericho is still showing why he's one of the very best heels in the business to this day.

Isn't cyberspace a funny thing. I look back to my childhood watching 'Star trek' on TV. "Beam me up Scotty" spoken into a dinky little gizmo that looks just like our mobile phones. Banks of computers with people madly typing into keyboards and watching their screens. When we were kids this was all sci-fi stuff.
Now here I am typing away pouring out my heart into that cyberspace and receiving messages from friends all over the world. Comfort carried by technology, lifelines built of invisable threads. Strength in absentia.
Here is my snow covered table, clear it in your mind. Fill it with glasses, cups, plates, cakes, goodies, wine, tea, fruit, coffee, chocolate. All the things we would have together if we could just be sitting at my table.
I think we should add some sunshine too. Birds singing and a few bees buzzing in the flowers. The scents of herbs and roses.
And sounds, yes, sounds. The sounds of talking. The sounds of US brought together accross those endless miles. Talking, talking and putting this crazy world to rights.
Thank you so much for all your emails and comments. You are getting me through a horrible time. When I receive your messages I am at that table and you are there.
Thank you.

SACRAMENTO, — Gov. Jerry Brown has vetoed bills aimed at controlling the operation of drones.
The three bills were sponsored by Sen. Ted Gaines, R-Roseville.
One would have made it an infraction for people to fly drones over public schools when classes are in session. Exceptions could be made for law enforcement, news media and people with a school"s permission.
Another would have given firefighters immunity for disabling hobbyist drones flying over emergency situations.
The third would have made it a misdemeanor to intentionally fly a drone over a prison or jail.
In a veto message issued Saturday, Brown indicated California"s criminal code, with more than 5,000 laws on the books, already has become too complex without adding more laws that he says would provide little benefit to the public.

Total Project Management
Exceptional Service Standards
Visit The Showroom
To understand the whole process, we invite you to visit one of our showrooms in Bentworth Nr Alton, Basingstoke or Southsea, where you can experience our full working displays. We will try and demystify the furniture market and present past projects and what you will expect from our service.
You can then see the furniture, plans, past quotations, drawings, images and finished photographs of each project. We can give you guide prices in relation to past projects in order to understand what a project may cost.
Survey & Brief
We offer an initial FREE of charge consultation in the showroom. If you would like to bring your room measurements and any photos in to the showroom we can discuss the project in detail. To assist you, we will provide a guide to how you need to measure the room. Once you have this information, please call us and book an appointment. We will take a full brief of what you want to achieve and come up with an initial design, based on the brief. Alternatively, if you prefer us to come out and complete a full survey, take a brief in your home. We would charge £200.00, this fee is to only cover our cost. When you commission us to build your kitchen we will deduct this fee off the total cost…
Design & Price
Once we have the dimensions and a full brief, we can commence designing your project. This can take a few days or up to two weeks depending on the size and complexity of your project. Once designed, this enables us to provide a fully transparent estimate for your project. As a guide, our kitchens start from £18,000.00, an average kitchen could cost between £30-£45,000.00 and some projects can go up to £90,000.00 plus. However, all our customers will provide us with a guide budget to work with, so they are in full control of their project costs.
Showroom Presentation
Once we have completed the design and estimate, we will invite you back to the showroom for a presentation of our ideas. Show you the drawings and visuals of your project. Provide you with a full written estimate for you to take away. Plans and images can be released once you have committed to us. Hopefully, by now, you will have seen our design ability and want us to progress your project. When you have decided, you may want us to refine the design and finalise the detail.
As you will have seen by this stage, there is a lot of effort and time invested in your project. We would therefore ask you to pay a contribution towards finalising the design, ideas and final estimate. To progress the project, we would charge £800.00 (this is only to cover our time, to produce the final designs), if you have paid a £200.00 survey fee prior to this, we would only charge a further £600.00. Once you have placed an order, we would deduct the above payments off the total cost of the estimate we provided. At this stage, we will release a copy of the plans and images for you to take away and consider.
Schedule & Contract
Now the design refinements and costs have been finalised. We will produce a full contract for you to sign, provide a detailed schedule and confirm the dates. All the scheduled payments are broken down within the contract. We will give you advance notice of when any payments will become due by email or phone, so not to hold up the manufacturing, delivery and installation schedule.
The delivery will already be pre-agreed at the contract stage. Deliveries from Germany are always made to the UK, the week before the installation is scheduled. The furniture will be delivered either on the Monday we start or the Friday before. This will be arranged by the logistics department. Handmade furniture made here is usually delivered the Thursday or Friday, the week before. Delivery will always be made by our two-man delivery team and we do not expect you to unload any item. All we ask is you provide, is a clear access to a suitable storage area for the items.
Installation usually starts week commencing the agreed date upon ordering. Usually we start on a Monday or Tuesday depending on Bank holidays. If we are just finishing off a previous job, we may move the day that week, but we will advise you if this will occur. Likewise, when we are finishing your project off, we may slip in to the next projects week. This would not impact the dates or schedule, as we can often catch up quite easily.
Final Sign Off
We will endeavour to catch all the finishing detail during the process. We will ask you to inspect the project and feedback any concerns along the way. If we have missed anything, we will agree a completion list and ask you to sign this off, once completed. Our aim is to always give complete customer satisfaction and we always ensure that everything is addressed in full.

Sold Out
Short on space? That's no excuse to pass up on a pair of limited edition sneakers. It's time to finally show off your shoe collection with Sole Stacks' premium Six Stack Maple shoe organizer. With a classic outer frame that's made from finished maple plywood, this shoe rack can hold six pairs shoes that are up to a men's size 14. Inside, neon green center shelves are placed diagonally for a futuristic look while offering a great deal of durability so you don't have to worry about broken shelves, no matter how heavy the boot.
It has dimensions of 19.5 x 9 x 34.5 inches, making it much smaller and space efficient than other shoe racks. It has a freestanding design that has great stability, but if you want to clear up the ground for more floor space, you can choose to wall mount it for a neat shoe display that'll impress your guests. To accommodate a bigger collection, you can simply add another rack or two.
You can assemble our sneaker racks easily and swiftly, without any extra help so you can set it up even if you're alone. They're also unbelievably easy to install; forget about sitting down for half an hour with the instruction booklet. There's no need to take a quick trip to the store because all the hardware you need for setting it up is already included. Somewhere out there is a pair of Jordans waiting to come home with you and you'll need the extra space.

Technical Paper
The Evolution of Microelectronics in Automotive Modules
It has the aim to discuss the evolution of electronics components, integrated circuits, new transistors concepts and associate its importance in the automotive modules. Today, the challenge is to have devices which consume less power, suitable for high-energy radiation environment, less parasitic capacitances, high speed, easier device isolation, high gain, easier scale-down of threshold voltage, no latch-up and higher integration density. The improvement of those characteristics mentioned and others in the electronic devices enable the automotive industry to have a more robust product and give the possibility to integrate new features in comfort, safety, infotainment and telematics modules. Finally, the intention is to discuss advanced structures, such as the silicon-on-insulator (SOI) and show how it affects the electronics modules applied for the automotive area.

Polymetallic miner Milpo, controlled by Brazil's Votorantim Metals, said it would not submit an offer for the Michiquillay project after receiving a proposal from Proinversion, a Periuvian government's agency aimed to encourage local investment, to make changes to the project.
Milpo said the proposed changes are not compatible with market conditions. The company prepared a comprehensive proposal that included the social, environmental, technical and economic aspects of a mining project in the exploration stage, "with important challenges," as in the case of Michiquillay.

Credit for Taxes Paid to Another State
A resident of New Mexico who must pay tax to another state on income that is also taxable in New Mexico may take a credit against New Mexico tax for tax paid to the other state.
This credit is for tax that another state imposes on any portion of income that by law is included in New Mexico net income. Tax withheld is not a factor in calculating the allowable credit. If the specific item of income is not subject to taxation in both states, no credit is available. The credit may not be more than the New Mexico tax liability, the sum of lines 15 and 16, on Form PIT-1, or more than 5-1/2% of the income taxable in the other state. Also, the amount of the credit may not exceed the amount of tax paid to the other state. Attach a copy of the complete income tax return(s) from the other state(s).

"Palmer Morel's holiday season in Kansas City is interrupted by gun fire. Will he still be able to put up his Christmas tree?"
Ratings & ReviewsLog in to review this item
1 Person Reviewed This Product
Sep 28, 2012Larry Rochelle's "Plaza Blues" is a must-read for noir fans and suspense readers in Kansas City. Rochelle's hero, tennis pro Palmer Morel, seeks a new pet project in buying and restoring a historic movie theater. Little does he know the purchase is tied up with the mob, who has been hiding bodies in the theater for decades. When Palmer starts to get cold feet, the mob targets him and his family. "Plaza Blues" is a gritty novel that dwells on the dark side of human nature. Conspiracy theorists will also find the book a fun read. The book has a large cast of characters, but Rochelle masterfully makes it easy to keep them straight in the reader's head. I never found myself flipping back to remind myself who was who. Morel is a complicated protagonist. He might not be the most faithful of boyfriends, but he is always ready to jump into action when the occasion arises, such as when the Plaza catches fire during the Thanksgiving lighting ceremony, or when he has to give... More > CPR to an unsavory character. One warning I will give to readers is that this is part of a series, and doesn't feel like a stand-alone novel. It contains threads from the previous novel, and didn't quite wrap things up at the end. I was especially curious what happened to the Yoo-Me character. However, Rochelle does give enough information on the back story that the reader won't find this confusing. Kansas Citians will enjoy the hometown references, as will crime story fans everywhere who like atmospheric noir mysteries.< Less

Sony Pictures signaled the start of production of Venom on Monday with the release of a behind-the-scenes photo of star Tom Hardy.
RELATED: Venom Story Rumor Indicates The Spidey Character May Be A 'Good' Guy
Little is known about the long-planned Spider-Man spinoff, although recent rumors suggest the film by director Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland, Gangster Squad) will adapt the 1993 Marvel Comics miniseries Venom: Lethal Protector, in which symbiote host Eddie Brock turned from a villain to an antihero and moved to San Francisco.
Day 1. #Venom pic.twitter.com/ftkf9pEWn3— Venom (@VenomMovie) October 24, 2017
Hunted by the father of one of his victims, he's soon targeted by super-powered mercenaries who were offshoots of the Venom symbiote: Scream, Riot, Phage, Agony and Lasher. There are rumors that Michelle Williams will play She-Venom, and Riz Ahmed will become Carnage, so there's a chance the movie will adapt the storyline with a new group of villains.
RELATED: Venom: Scott Haze in Talks to Join Film in Mysterious Role
Fans definitely shouldn't expect Peter Parker to team up with Venom, as Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has stated Venom will exist outside of Marvel Cinematic Universe continuity: "I think they're focusing on making a great Venom movie, and I don't know much about it, but I know they're off to a good start with Tom Hardy."
Written by Jeff Pinkner and Scott Rosenberg, Venom is targeted for release on Oct. 5, 2018.

Do you have music festivals close to where you live. Do you recommend any?
This is a partial line-up of this years New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival . There are way to many stages and acts to mention here but it is an awesome festival for music lovers of all tastes.
This is why I love New Orleans. In a couple of weeks the big music festival comes with acts like Jeff Beck, Bon Jovi, Jimmy Buffett, Mumford & Sons, Robert Plant, Arlo Guthrie, Ricky Skaggs, Robert Cray, Dr John, John Mellencamp, John Legend, Cyndi Lauper,Arcade Fire, Willie Nelson, Edie Brickell, The Strokes, and hundreds more from Jazz, Rock, Blues, Gospel, Country and Cajun. It's a great 7 day festival. It used to be $10 a day but now it is $45 a day in advance and $60 at the gate. (I think that's the price this year). Still not a bad price for such a huge festival. Many of the local bands are more fun to go see than the big names. I hang out at the Blues Stage a lot. LOL

Live with in walking distance of Knebworth where they have the UK leg of the Sonisphere festival. It's £180 for a ticket roughly for 3 days camping and this year has the Big 4, Biffy Clyro, Weezer, Slipknot, Limp Bizkit ect. I have to say it has an amazing atmosphere and organisation, alternating mainstages are a perfect example of this as it means you get to see more bands and better quality ones as less need to be bookedSource(s): own knowledge

By me, there's Summerfest. It's in Milwaukee, and runs a course of ten days. Each day there's roughly fifty to a hundred or so bands playing on many different stages across the grounds. It's all different types of music. So far not many bands have been named, but here's a couple of the notable ones:
Peter Gabriel
Hall and Oates
Def Leppard
The Black Keys
Florence and the Machine

Hi Mike.
Well, within 12 Miles we have the Leeds Festival, which is essentially twinned with Reading here in the UK:
Occasionally, they have a "Blues" Festival in Wakefield, but it tends to be very low key. Sorry, can't find a link to it, but for roughly £10 you really cannot go wrong, especially as the return Train Fare is only around £3.

In a new report on 2001-2010, the World Meteorological Organization said land and sea temperatures averaged 14.47 degrees Celsius.
This compares with the long-term average of 14 C, as measured from weather records dating back to 1881.
"This is the warmest decade of this whole period," said WMO chief Michel Jarraud.
When measured globally, every year of the decade except 2008 was among the 10 warmest on record, the report showed.

"The increase between the 1990s and the past decade is the largest since we have instrumental records," Jarraud added.
In 2001-2010, the average global temperature jumped 0.21 degrees over the previous decade. By comparison, warming rose by 0.14 C in the 1990s over the 1980s.
Global warming is blamed on human activity such as industrial emissions of heat-trapping greenhouse gases, chiefly carbon dioxide.
Sceptics, however, suggest temperatures should be even higher according to estimates based on CO2 levels and that global warming is therefore plateauing.
"There's no plateau. If you filter out the very short-term variability, the last decade was the warmest by a significant margin," Jarraud countered.
He backed suggestions that heat is being stored in the deep ocean, where it was bound to released in the future.
Some doubters also point to recent harsh winters, or the current sluggish start to the European summer, which feeds a natural human tendency to grumble about the weather.
"When you look at climate variability and climate change, it's very important not to focus on a particular part of the world or to concentrate on a particular year," said Jarraud.
Based on surveys of 139 countries, the WMO report showed that nearly 94 percent registered their warmest decade in 2001-2010, while 44 percent reported nationwide temperature records during the period.
Floods were the most frequent extreme event during the decade, such as those in 2010 in Pakistan that killed some 2,000 people and affected 20 million others, the WMO said.
The number of people killed by floods fell by 43 percent, and those who perished in storms by 16 percent over the decade, thanks to better early warning systems and increased preparedness.
Despite this, the first 10 years of the 21st century registered more than 370,000 deaths linked to weather extremes, up 20 percent from the previous decade.
The increase was mainly due to heatwaves in Europe in 2003 and in Russia in 2010, which helped push the global heatwave death toll to 136,000, compared to just 6,000 in the previous decade.
"When the question is asked, is it due to climate change, our traditional answer has been in most cases we cannot tell you, we cannot attribute a single event to climate change, because these events results from many complex interactions," said Jarraud.
"However, because of climate change, we expect these things to become more frequent, or more intense. Change has increased the probability," he said.

In the run-up to the celebration of Irkutskenergo's 60th anniversary, the company's branches also celebrate important milestones. Thus, 60 years ago, in 1954, the first layer of concrete was laid forming part of the foundation of the Irkutskaya HPP, the first power plant within the Angara cascade; five years later, a government commission officially accepted the Irkutskaya HPP, and it was put into full-time operation.
The creation of a large-scale energy system in the Angara Region was made possible by a huge amount of resources in the area and the fact that the flow of the Angara River is stable during the year. In terms of energy resources, the Angara River surpasses the Volga, the Dnieper, the Don and the Kama put together. As its flow is regulated by Lake Baikal, it was possible to design and construct an efficient cascade of HPPs whose installed electricity generating capacity exceeds 9 GW and the annual electricity output exceeds 40 TWh.
The engineering design of the Irkutsk hydroelectric facilities was prepared by the team of the Moscow branch of the Gidroenergoproekt National Institute under the supervision of German Sukhanov, who is often described as the "soul" of the projects forming part of the Angara-Yenisei cascade. Construction was carried out by a special construction department, Angargesstroy. From 1953 until the moment when the hydroelectric facilities were put into operation, the construction process was supervised by Andrey Bochkin, a legendary specialist in hydropower construction. During the years of its construction and operation, the Irkutskaya HPP has become a unique school of HPP construction in Russia and provided a pool of talent for the energy industry.
The Irkutskaya HPP has an installed capacity of 662.4 MW, and its average annual electricity output totals 4.1 TWh per year. By 1983, the Irkutskaya HPP produced 100 TWh; by 2008, its total output exceeded 200 TWh; to date, the Irkutskaya HPP has generated 218 TWh.
The Irkutskaya HPP was the first HPP forming part of the Angara-Yenisei cascade; it stimulated the development of industry in Eastern Siberia. Today, specialists at the Irkutskaya HPP continue the traditions established by their predecessors, who laid the foundation of the region's economy.

Ryanair reports full year net profit of €523m
Ryanair has reported a full year net profit of €523m, slightly ahead of previous guidance. Traffic grew 3% to 81.7m passengers. Revenue per passenger was flat, as strong ancillary revenue growth offset a 4% fall in average fares. Excluding fuel, sector length adjusted unit costs fell by 3%.
Ryanair's, Michael O'Leary, said: "While disappointing that profits fell 8% to €523m due mainly to a 4% decline in fares, weaker sterling, and higher fuel costs, we reacted quickly to this weaker environment last September by lowering fares and improving our customer experience which caused H2 traffic to grow 4% as load factors rose 1%. Ancillary revenues grew 17%, much faster than traffic growth, and now accounts for 25% of total revenues."
During the past financial year, Ryanair launched 121 new routes and established eight new bases in Athens, Thessaloniki, Brussels, Lisbon, Rome (FCO), Catania, Lamezia & Palermo. Ryanair stated that the four new bases at Athens, Brussels, Lisbon and Rome are "performing ahead of expectation as customers switch from high fare carriers to Ryanair". The budget carrier also ordered 180 new for delivery from 2014 to 2018.
O'Leary commented that forward bookings for Summer 14 are "significantly ahead of last year, since we began offering lower fares and released our seasonal schedules earlier, and this should continue to deliver 2% higher load factors, and help us manage fares closer to departure as we have less capacity to sell".
In its report, Ryanair is keen to point out that it has worked hard to improve customer experience and "enhance our industry leading service" with: allocated seating; a simpler website with a "fare finder" facility; including a free small second carry-on bag; the launch of "quiet flights"; a 24 hour "grace period" to correct minor booking errors; reduced boarding card and airport bag fees; and a new service to cater for groups and corporate travellers. The carrier will launch a new family product in June to allow children (when travelling with their family) to receive discounts on allocated seats and bags, while families who travel frequently with Ryanair can qualify for discounts on future flights.
Also later this year Ryanair is launching a business service that will include, same day flight changes, bigger bag allowances, premium seat allocation, mobile boarding pass, and fast-rack through security at many airports. "This service, together with our new GDS distribution strategy, will make Ryanair much more accessible and easier to use for business customers," says O'Leary.
Ryanair is 90% hedged for FY15 at a cost of $960 per tonne (approx. $96 p.bl), which will generate net savings of approx. €70m compared to FY14. In light of recent oil price and US$ weakness, Ryanair states that it has hedged approx. 13% of its FY16 fuel (at approx. $94 per barrel), and have also hedged its dollar requirements which will deliver further savings of up to 4% per passenger, in Euro terms, in FY 2016.
During the past financial year, Ryanair was rated BBB+ by both S&P and Fitch that makes it the highest rated airline in the world. During FY14 the carrier also completed €482m of share buybacks, well ahead of its original €400m target. "We remain committed to returning a further €500m to shareholders in Q4 via a special dividend subject to AGM approval."
Ryanair expects FY15 traffic to grow by 4% to over 84.6m as load factors increase 2% to 85% and it adds some limited new route and capacity growth. Most of this growth will be skewed towards H2 as Ryanair reduces its winter grounding from 70 aircraft in FY14 to approx. 50 in FY15.
While fares fell by 4% in FY14, O'Leary expects FY15 fares to rise by up to 2%. He added however that "we remain very cautious about H2 guidance (especially following last winter's weak price environment) where we are committed to 6% capacity growth which could cause H2 fares to fall by as much as 6% to 8%".

Q: Why do gorillas have big noses?
A: Because they have big fingers.
Did you hear about the Blind man that went Bunjee jumping?
Scared the hell out of the dog.
There were two high school sweethearts who went out together for four years in high school and were both virgins and enjoyed losing their virginity with each other in 10th grade. When they graduated, they wanted to both go to the same college but the girl was accepted to a college on the east coast, and the guy went to the west coast.
A giraffe and a bunny talk.
Says the giraffe:
"Bunny, if you knew how beautiful it is, a long Neck to have. This is sooo tollll! Each tasty leaf that
I eat slowly move down my neck and long I enjoy this delicacy soo long. "
The bunny looks blankly at the giraffe.
"And until the summer, Bunny, I am telling you, the cool water
so deliciously refreshing when it slowly my long neck sliding down. This is soooo beautiful, just a great to have such a long neck. Bunny, you can get the imagine? "
Bunnies without emotions: "Have you ever puked?"
A cat walks into a bar...
A bear was chasing this bunny around a forest. They ran into a clearing and were running around a certain huge redwood where a genie lived. The genie got so tired of the racket that he finally came out and told the pair that he would grant them 3 wishes a piece if they would just leave him alone. The pair agreed. The bear said he would go first. "I wish…that all the bears in this forest were female." The genie granted the wish. The bunny just grinned and asked for a helmet. The bear thought that strange but continued. "I wish…that all the bears in this country to be female!" The genie granted the wish. The bunny just grinned again and wished for a motorcycle. He jumped on the bike, put on his helmet and started gunning it. The bear looked at the bunny and said, "You must be the stupidest bunny I ever met!" Then he asked for his last wish. "I wish…that all the bears in this world to be female!" The genie granted the wish. The bunny just grinned and said, "I wish the bear was gay."

Workers suffered exposure to combustible dust, amputation and other serious hazards at Hurst Auto-Truck Electric Ltd. in Cleveland, OH, and the company is now facing fines of $62,300, said officials at the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
OSHA cited the company for 15 serious safety and health violations after an inspection. The plant specializes in chrome plating and powder-coating finished accessories for the automotive industry.
Cabinet Maker Cited for Chemical, Fire Hazards
Worker Caught in Machinery at OH Plant
Chemical Maker Fined for Fatality
Fatality Brings OSHA Safety Fines
"Combustible dust can burn rapidly and explode with little warning, putting workers at risk for severe injury and death," said Howard Eberts, OSHA's area director in Cleveland. "OSHA's inspection found that Hurst Auto-Truck Electric failed to maintain areas free of combustible dust and used ignition in areas where combustible dust was present. When the stakes are so high, employers must recognize and eliminate these hazards."
OSHA's March 17 inspection found workers suffered exposure to combustible aluminum and steel dust while they worked in the facility. If this dust ends up suspended in the air in the right concentration, under certain conditions, it can become explosive. The force from such an explosion can cause death, injury and destruction of buildings. The U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board identified 281 combustible dust incidents between 1980 and 2005 that led to the deaths of 119 workers, another 718 injured and extensive damage to numerous industrial facilities.
Additional serious violations were for amputation hazards, including lack of machine guarding and failure to implement specific lockout/tagout procedures to prevent machinery from operating during service and maintenance.
Hurst Auto-Truck Electric also did not administer a hearing conservation program, conduct workplace hazard assessments, ensure workers used personal protective equipment, provide portable fire extinguisher training, or provide information and training to employees on hazardous chemicals used in the plant.
A serious violation occurs when there is substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result from a hazard about which the employer knew or should have known.

"Botnets" and "Internet of Things Attacks" may sound like terms from a "future trends" research article, but they are very real and current issues in the IT world. But before we dive into what they are and how they work it's important that we cover the basic building block of these botnets and attacks, Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
What is an Internet of Things Device?
An IoT Device is defined by TechTarget as a "nonstandard computing device that connects wirelessly to a network and has the ability to transmit data."
Recently we wrote a post about smart offices that included a section on smart lighting systems and thermostats like the one made by Nest. These devices, and others like refrigerators, TV's and even door locks that can be connected, monitored, and controlled over your network and through your smart phone are all examples of Internet of Things Devices.
What is a botnet?
TechTarget defines a botnet as "a collection of internet-connected devices, which may include PCs, servers, mobile devices and internet of things devices that are infected and controlled by a common type of malware."
The term "Botnet" comes from the words robot and network referring to large groups of devices, usually compromised for malicious activities. Hackers generally look for vulnerable devices, ones without the latest software updates or with easily compromised passwords, and infect them with publicly available malware.
The hacker (or group of hackers) instructs these botnets to do certain things like overload a website with an outlandish number of requests to effectively shut it down, to send spam, and to further spread the malware itself.
Until fairly recently, devices compromised and used as components of botnets were generally Windows computers. Compromising smaller IoT devices for that purpose, however, is a growing trend. This trend is particularly troubling because these IoT devices are often not very sophisticated in terms of security, and they often do not get software updates from their manufacturers as regularly as say a Windows PC does. In short, there are a lot of devices on the market—and more are added every day—that haven't been designed with security in mind. We expect this to be a major IT security problem for years to come until IoT vendors collectively take security as seriously as getting products to market.
A good example of this kind of attack, otherwise known as an "Internet of Things Attack", occurred last October when a botnet was instructed to send wave after wave of requests to domain name servers owned by Dyn. This attack made it extremely difficult and for some, impossible, to access certain websites. The scary thing about this, and attacks like this, was that they were carried out using publicly available code running on devices that are increasingly ubiquitous in our lives. The Dyn attack was not the first and won't be the last. If you're interested in other examples check out this article from ZDNet about five other IoT attacks.
Gartner projected that by this year 8.4 billion "connected things" would be in use, a 31% growth over last year, and Wired brought up a good point that the security of IoT might not be ready for the widespread use of the technology.
Now this is just a brief overview of what a botnet is and how they are used in IoT attacks. That being said, we hope it highlights the importance of keeping your systems updated, having unique and strong passwords, having proper security practices and systems in place for all devices connected to your network, and a way to monitor those devices and the network they are on.

As Brillat-Savarin once almost said, our magazines are what we eat. That is, our pages chronicle the very things our savvy staff savors all over the borough, and the reporting couldn't be more fun.
So you'd expect us to call Brooklyn home, and we do: I'm a longtime Sloper, deputy editor Rachel Wharton hails from Prospect Heights, photo editor Michael Harlan Turkell calls BoCoCa home, designer Katie Sweetman lives in Kensington, editorial assistant Jeanne Hodesh just moved to Clinton Hill, our events goddess Rachel Graville lives in Carroll Gardens, one ad sales maven, Dawn Ellwood, is a Bay Ridge gal, while the other, Samantha Seier, lives in Park Slope, and one of our copy editors resides in Greenpoint. But then there's our other copy editor, Doug Adrianson. He works in a treehouse in California.
As you may know, Edible Brooklyn is one of a network of over 50 magazines celebrating place-based taste. And while each is locally crafted by the most erudite, enthusiastic eaters in, say, Phoenix or the Finger Lakes, Edible editors everywhere send stories to Doug for his typo-ridding talents before placing them lovingly into layout. Almost a decade ago he helped Edible Communities' matriarchs Tracey and Carole comb Edible Ojai for stray commas and these days he's got one of the best perspectives anywhere on the nation's burgeoning real food movement. Whether your next trip is to Boston or Boulder, forget the Zagat guide—if you want to find the place serving biscuits of locally milled flour and house-rendered lard ask the man who's read every word of so many edibles, and that would be Doug.
Sometimes I wonder what Doug makes of all our stories about swaggering butchers and cooking contests (other than how to spell s'mac-down). He usually keeps the correspondence to grammar and punctuation, but after our last issue he wrote me that our piece on the Brooklyn Ale House's hot sauce had given him quite a hankering. So we're sending him the first ever Edible Brooklyn gift basket complete with foods he's read all about but never tasted. We can't figure how to put a pastrami sandwich into the package but we'll include treats from our new favorite confectioner, Liddabit Sweets.
Speaking of, when Doug sent back his copyedited version of our story on them he didn't just clean up our dashes and catch our Elvis error (jumpsuit, he corrected, not pantsuit) he also shared the below:
As fate would have it, for breakfast today I made myself a dish of my own invention that I call the Flat Elvis: It's a lot like a quesadilla in that it starts with a flour tortilla and is toasted on a comal (griddle) while weighted down with a cutting board, but inside I spread a layer of peanut butter and a layer of banana slices. Yum.
Like I said, the man's got the best seat in the house, and I don't just mean because it's in a treehouse.
Happy New Year!

2NE1 for Arena, Nylon and CeCi!!
The girls from 2NE1 are gearing up for their impending comeback with not one, not two, but three photo spreads in three different magazines.
The Nylon shoot shows the girls teamed up with designer Jeremy Scott wearing some truly unique and bold designs. The Arena set has the girls sporting some seriously fierce, punk rock girl style, whereas the CeCi shoot
has the girls wearing more casual clothing projecting a softer image. They are truly style chameleons and have cemented themselves as queens of fashion in the K-Pop world. This big publicity push makes me even more excited for their comeback.
Pictures below:
