Yea it's frustrating being a Wrestling fan nowadays. The lack of build and a sense of wrestlers going on a quest for titles is what frustrates me the most. WWE doesn't have time to build up interesting feuds because there's so many damn PPV's now that things just get thrown together, and there's always some stupid stipulation instead of just 1 on 1 settle it in the ring. Not to mention that tag teams, and mid card titles mean squat now. I remember when tag team matches, and mid card titles were sometimes the main events, and those belts meant something. Nothing means anything anymore. And am I the only one that so tired of 3 way matches? And don't get me started on TNA . That show is a train wreck and it's a miracle that they are still in business. Horrible tv that show is.
It's because most of the writers today are twenty-somethings that couldn't make it in the world of sitcoms. The WWE is no longer scripted by the old time guys familiar with the wrestling business but peers of Stephanie McMahon.
Yea I agree. I just can't understand why, with business being down as it is, that they wouldn't want to cut the number ppv's, build an intriguing long term story, then at one of the major ppv's close the chapter, and start something new. That draws buys and ratings imo. Not a 4 way title match in a chamber with a belt on a ladder ppv every few weeks. Part of what made wrestling so special at one time was the emotional investment you had with the characters, the good guy and bad guy, and the thrill of victory and agony of defeat. You suspend your disbelief that it's all a work, and it sometimes felt like a real competitive sport. With what UFC is doing right now, you'd think wrestling would get more sports like I guess you could say. I know TNA tried a rankings system a while back but that went nowhere.
I guess I can always go back and watch the old Flair vs. Steamboat matches to remind myself of what wrestling should be.
Well I'm sure it's no surprise that Vince McMahon is more about the bottom line than the quality of the product -- and it's hard to fault him for that. I'm sure they've run the numbers and decided it was more profitable to crank out an endless amount of pay-per-views than cultivate storylines. It is probably even truer now in the digital age where they can sell it direct through the website without dealing with cable systems.
I agree, though, while people are willing to suspend their disbelief to a certain extent; when you make the titles meaningless and have nearly a dozen of them (which I don't know for sure... I know they had a different set when they split the RAW and Smackdown 'brands' ) then people stop caring. Of course that happened as early as the short-lived Hardcore title. An interesting idea that was absolutely ruined and made into comic relief with the belt changing hands after seconds and ten times a night. It all stems from McMahon monopolizing the industry. He was at his best when he had the competition of WCW and even ECW. After he took both over he just had way too many wrestlers to deal with and had to create half a dozen new titles and crossovers and a bunch of other nonsense.
Taking over WCW was one of Vince's major ambitions and I remember the night it happened and the 'gloating' WCW Nitro he made. However, the great irony is that ever since his overall ratings have been in steady decline. To be fair that probably isn't the only reason and I'm sure there are a bunch of other demographics that come into play.

Actually, a lot of the WWE's creative team are old vets like Sgt. Slaughter, Michael Hayes, Arn Anderson but they have hired some Hollywood writers.Originally Posted by Unknown Poster
I think one of the biggest factors in WWE's demise was the Lesnar situation. Vince wanted him to be the #1 guy and positioned him as such. When Lesnar left, Vince got scared that it would happen again. Now it seems that whenever someone is pushed to main event status (CM Punk, Sheamus, Jack Swagger, Miz) they are often depushed later on to keep them in check. Thus, Vince has failed to make his next generation of stars and is still relying on Orton and Cena.
With purple and pinstripes from days gone by, I trumpet Hugo's name to the NOLA sky.
When rebranders and posers abuse their might, beware my power, TEAL LANTERN'S LIGHT!
That's why it's so frustrating to see TNA just totally fail as a company. If they got their act together and overhauled everything from the top down, they could be a viable #2 promotion. Instead they pay top dollar for old ex stars, bury their young talent, and put on a product that's just so dumb it's pathetic.Originally Posted by Unknown Poster
MMA I'm sure has something to do with it as well. Especially PPV buyrates. A lot of the people that grew up during the attitude era have gone on to UFC and have probably lost a bit of interest in wrestling now.Originally Posted by Unknown Poster
Yep, I forgot that. MMA is extremely popular and -- as it isn't rigged -- actually gets covered on ESPN and such.
I agree on TNA. They have blown a huge opportunity.Originally Posted by ReedSpeed
I'm not sure I agree on MMA effecting wrestling's popularity. I haven't run across a lot of converted fans from the Attitude Era. There is a pretty substantial % of MMA fans that are also wrestling fans. I think wrestling's demise has more to do with 1) poor creative decisions and 2) people uploading broadcasts to sharing sites.
I'm interested in the direction TNA or as they are now known as "Impact Wrestling" is going in. It's obvious that they plan to go in the direction of where "wrestling" is an accepted term. TNA isn't going to match the WWE in any way or form from a buisness perspective but they can find their way as an alternative to the WWE.
If TNA can find their way as a wrestling company that combines great in ring action with good storylines then maybe they have a chance of long term survival.
As far as MMA goes. Wrestling actually got me into MMA back in the day. When Ken Shamrock came to the WWE it peaked my interest. I have been a fan since.

Agreed. TNA has been too much of the really bad 1999-2001 WCW for as long as I can remember.
Wade Keller brought up one interesting note.. going to a commercial break during a match is like the NBA going to a commercial break during play. The matches need to be the focal point for the shows for the "wrestling matters" campaign to hold true. Wrestling should be about the title belts, thrill of winning, and the agony of defeat.
Yea it's something to keep an eye on, but if the same people are in charge of booking "Impact Wrestling", I don't expect the product to change. A name change is all fine and good, but if the company is not committed to push new talent, and change the booking philosophy, it's not going to make a lick of difference. It's kind of like what Harvey says about the Hornets, you can't keep putting band aids on a gunshot wound and expect it to get any better. This is how I view TNA. It's like they have no long term plan to better the product. I actually watched Impact the other night to see some of the reveals and name change, and in 2011 we had Hogan, Flair, Bischoff, Jeff Jarrett, Mick Foley, and Chyna in one segment together. I'm just so tired of these people, been watching them since the 80's and into the 90's, it's over get off my tv. And last night's PPV Tommy Dreamer goes over AJ Styles, the supposed face of TNA. That's just asinine. So, while I commend them for wanting to be wrestling, and not "entertainment", if you don't book your talent better, nothing is going to change.Originally Posted by pharcyder
You guys hear Macho Man died?
LinkAll-time wrestling great Randy "Macho Man" Savage died in a Florida car wreck Friday after suffering a heart attack behind the wheel, according to TMZ.com.
The 58-year-old Savage, a one-time minor league baseball player who helped catapult Vince McMahon's WWF into a huge success during the mid-'80s, was killed in Tampa, said his brother, fellow ex-grappler Lanny Poffo.
He snapped into his last Slim Jim. Heart attack but I'm going to guess it was induced by years of steroid abuse.
Ok, the first pic is funny.
Eh, he didn't look rough. He always looked a little crazy. The white hair is what makes it look like that. He still worked out.
Macho Man is great. R.I.P.
Exactly. Especially when they did the whole Hardcore Justice/ECW's 200th reunion. They basically just pushed all of their talent aside and let these old, washed up ECW guys, except for RVD and Jerry Lynn, get a pay day instead of focusing on their TNA talent. And when Dixie said on Impact a few weeks before the PPV on how what Hogan meant to the 80s, ECW meant to the 90s. Are you kidding me!? This shows why TNA is a laughingstock and how Dixie Carter is not fit to run a "wrestling" company.Originally Posted by ReedSpeed
My favorite guys in TNA are Fortune mainly because these were TNA originals that were homegrown guys that started with the company when they were doing PPVs every Wednesday back in 03/04. And they have stuck with the company through everything. AJ, Kaz, Daniels, and Beer Money, especially Bobby Roode who shines on the mic.
Dreamer going over AJ is just embarrassing. Dreamer should be retired and he's one of those guys who just can't let go of their careers, along with Hogan and Flair. Dreamer was better 10 years ago and Swagger told Dreamer one time on the WWECW show that "it ain't 1997 anymore Tommy." I've been to two TNA house shows, back in February at the uno arena and last month in BR, and all of these fans just love Dreamer and love chanting ECW. And I admit I was a fan too of his about 10 years ago but ECW died 10 years ago. I just don't get it.
And I was at the Extreme Rules PPV back in 09 at the N.O. Arena when Dreamer won the WWECW title and I was just disappointed because I felt it should have gone to Swagger, a rising star at the time. And it just so happened that Dreamer left the company 6 months later to join TNA. So great choice Vince

Wow. The blows just keep coming down on WWE. In the last week, I've read about HHH saying he's "basically retired", Kharma being written off TV for her pregnancy, CM Punk likely leaving before summer's end when his contract expires, and Big Show taking time off again.

I love it! He's been the star of RAW for weeks now. His facial expressions are exquisite. I lost it when he asked the fan in the crowd," What's your son's name. Wait, lemme guess: lil' Jimmy?"Originally Posted by accfsu34
R Truth has alot of old school in him. Today, all these new heels seem to just read off a script and have the same generic mannerisms. R Truth seems to be able to have a good feel for the crowd and veer off script a bit to draw some heat.
There is a reason people quickly became bored with Swagger, McIntyre, Sheamus, Barrett, Dibiase, and those types after a hot start. They had no ability to bring anything new. They all just followed a script and have done the same promo over and over again. Their mannerisms are the same. Their interaction with the crowd is horrible. Del Rio is starting to become stale already because he brings the same exact thing over and over.
Three things...
1) CM PUNK CM PUNK CM PUNK CM PUNK!!! Please for the love of God let this whole contract issue be just him taking a break and coming back for Wrestlemania or Rumble!! I would love it if somehow he got involved in the Rock Cena match.
2) R Truth and Lil Jimmy is probably the most hilarious thing I've seen in wrestling for a while.
3) I'd like to see more development out of ZACK RYDER and Dolph Zigler! WOO WOO WOOOOOOOOo
The Punk thing is a work. No way he shoots on McMahon/Steph/Trips like that without permission. It's part of a story line. I'm guessing he'll take a little time away and then come back. There is no off season for what these guys do. He's been working/traveling/beating up his body for 6 straight years. He probably needs a 3-6 month break.
This coming Monday night...Punk (who the WWE web site says has been suspended indefinitely) will do a run in. No way a truely suspended person does a run in.
R-Truth's work with the "little Jimmy" gimmick has been fantastic. How long can it last. Can he be a one trick pony? This story needs some character development and new twists. Doing the little Jimmy thing for months and months will become old at some point.
A lot of the locker room guys (including Cena) like Ryder...but for some reason WWE won't or can't get him going.
Dolph seems to be involved in a push right now. Let's see if they stick with it our abandon his push like they've done with Miz, Sheamus, Barrett, etc. WWE says they want to build up the young guys, but rarely stick with a guy and push him into that top card level in a sustainable way.
I agree the Punk promo was one of the best things I've seen on RAW since the Nexus invasion last summer. WWE managed to screw that up, but we can only hope and beg WWE does not screw Punk's thing up. Even though it was a work, Punk still spoke from the heart and meant every word. Everything from Cena kissing Vince's @$$ to being frustrated he's not in the WM main event to Heyman helping him get started, every word was true. When he came into the WWE 6 years ago, Paul Heyman saw something in him and almost everybody was against him, claiming he has an attitude problem and so forth. But the thing is he has been reliable, busts his hump night in and night out, and yet he is passed over by seeing guys like Del Rio and Miz get pushes and not him.
It all goes into the fact that Vince likes to create his own characters and how Vince likes big guys. CM Punk created his own name and his own character from ROH and I think Vince still gets irritated by it.
IMO, I think Punk will take a little break and return around Rumble time. Punk has always been entertaining, heel or face; and WWE should not let him slip away.
Love the R-Truth gimmick. He's finally interesting and wound up to get over as a credible heel in a matter of a month's time.
One rumor is Vince won't push Ryder because "Vince hates the Internet."
Glad to see Dolph with the US title, but very disappointed he's not in MITB. I really look forward to MITB every year because it's the one time an up-and-coming star is almost guaranteed a title reign (i.e. Punk, Miz, Swagger). For RAW, Del Rio is almost guaranteed to win because a lot of people are saying he will cash in on Cena or Punk that night. If not Del Rio, Riley could win it but it's way too soon for him. Miz could win it or even Kofi. For SD, my top 3 are: Sheamus, Barrett, Rhodes. Rhodes could be a huge dark horse to win it.

14 Leading Social CRM Applications
Social CRM is a double-edged sword. It gives businesses a tremendous opportunity to easily communicate with consumers, rapidly answering questions and responding to concerns. But it also gives companies more chances to slip-up or to be perceived as being unresponsive or uncaring. That is why a growing number of organizations are stepping beyond the confines of traditional customer relationship management and incorporating social media into the next wave of CRM implementation.

Official SharePoint app now available for Windows Phone
Microsoft has released an official SharePoint app for Windows Phone, enabling users to stay connected with colleagues using service backend functionality and features. Newsfeeds from SharePoint sites are displayed, which can be added to, with the ability to follow people, access documents, tags and more.
With the built-in Office suite, Windows Phone has the advantage of the competing mobile platforms when it comes to document processing. Microsoft is busy adding more products to the Windows Phone Store, with Lync also readily available.
Some highlighted Newsfeed features of the SharePoint app:
- Create new status posts
- Add comments to ongoing discussions
- Read and "like" your colleagues' posts
- @mention a colleague directly
- Use #hashtags
- Upload pictures
- Discover people profiles
- Work with followed documents
You can download SharePoint from the Windows Phone Store for free. Note that it's a preview so be sure to leave feedback where possible to improve usability, and reviews already published on the app listing reveal that users are experiencing issues with connectivity. via: Plaffo

It only appears to work on Sharepoint 2013, either through Office 365 or self-hosted. Makes sense, since there are loads of new services in 2013.
mkashman says:
The "SharePoint Newsfeed" app for Windows Phone will only work with SharePoint 2013, and currently is scoped to work with the Office 365 Enterprise Preview (create a new tenant/account today: (http://www.microsoft.com/office/preview/en/office-365-enterprise). Final version will be configureable to work with a SharePoint 2013 on-premises deployment. And when you sign-in to the app, use the following Office 365 URL structure: https://contoso-my.sharepoint.com (where "contoso" is the name you chose for your company when signing up for the O365 preview trial). You then enter your O365 user name and password, and the app will resolve properly. We're working on auto-discovery of your tenant -my root site, but require it now in preview (beta). - Mark. Grab the app here: http://aka.ms/spwp and then read more here: http://aka.ms/SharePointMobile. :-), enjoy and keep the feeback coming.
welsbloke says:
To be honest pretty stupid to release the app and not make that clear especially as next to nobody has the 2013 back end. Would of made more sense to release at the very least when the normal 365 backend servers had been upgraded to 2013 when ever in blue blazes that is due to happen.
welsbloke says:
Doesnt work for me on Office365 but then the backend is still 2010 unless you are on the preview for Office365 in which it is using 2013 backend servers.

Some feedback about the Aman ki Asha Indo-Pak Economic Meet last week, and suggestions about taking forward the peace agenda
Fantastic meeting! I do hope that we stop living under the influence of foreign powers! Stop playing the blame game and becoming a testing ground and a marketplace for weapons. It is time to put contentious issues to the back burner for the next five years, deploy a portion of our defence budget on alleviation of poverty, and for growth and development. After five years, we would certainly find an amicable solution to our problems, when we have financial stakes in each other's economy, and our populations have developed a good understanding!
...Reality is, that people of Pakistan are friendly and full of warmth, and we should not let radical groups shadow the future of 1.4 billion people of India and Pakistan. Together, India and Pakistan can bring a new dimension to politics of South Asia.
... Also, would like to push with our policy makers the idea of India helping Pakistan by building 3-4 tertiary care hospitals and a joint telemedicine network as a starting point in Healthcare collaboration. Through this (AKA - Aman ki Asha) efforts, we have started a journey, and we need to build on a plan to move ahead with speed."
- Rajendra Pratap Gupta
Director & Advisor to Retail & Healthcare companies, Mumbai, posted to the Aman ki Asha facebook page http://www.facebook.com/amankiasha.destinationpeace
The 2nd AKA Indo-Pak Economic Conference was unique in several respects. Never have so many outstanding business, civil society and political leaders of India and Pakistan assembled on a single platform; the business conglomerates represented had a turnover considerably higher than the GDP of several countries. Never have political leaders from all mainstream political parties assembled on one platform and rallied behind a single cause: the Prime Minister and the charismatic Foreign Minister representing the government and the largest political party, Mian Mohammad Nawaz Sharif, twice elected PM and leader of the second largest party, Mian Shahbaz Sharif, Chief Minister of Punjab, Imran Khan - to some the PM-in-waiting - agreed on the inevitability if peace and trade with India and vowed to push the envelope.
On the business front, this was the biggest and most powerful gathering of iconic entrepreneurs and corporate heads. Close to 100 businessmen and CEOs from India and some 300 from Pakistan. The
quality of speakers was absolutely fantastic. Most importantly, the passion and fervour for peace
and economic collaboration was electric.
Let's now take this forward. We cannot remain hostage to the baggage of the past. For the prosperity not just of India and Pakistan but of the entire region, Pakistan and India must equitably resolve disputes, trade with each other and allow our people to meet freely. Only then can we bequeath a legacy of peace and prosperity to our future generations."
- Shahrukh Hasan
Group Managing Director, Jang Group, Pakistan,
in response to Rajendra Pratap Gupta, on the Aman ki Asha facebook page
I have seen a sea change in the mindsets amongst businessmen on both sides and look forward to the strengthening of business relations between India and Pakistan. I believe the 2nd Aman ki Asha Indo-Pak Economic Conference was a great platform to exchange views, hearing the positive initiatives being made by the Government of Pakistan, which is clearly being reciprocated by the Government of India.
I believe the easing of visa norms for businessmen will lead to people-to-people contact between the two countries. Also the Pakistan government's commitment to do away with the negative list by end 2012 as well as removal of non-trade barriers on both sides, will lead to enhanced trade between our two countries."
- Rakesh Bharti Mittal
Vice Chairman & Managing Director, Bharti Enterprises, New Delhi, email to Amin Hashwani of the Aman ki Asha
Economic Committee
Right from the time we stepped in Lahore there was a wave of exceptional hospitality at every step and at every stage to make us feel at home and that really made us realize that we had come to our own 'ERSTWHILE HOME' - the stories of which were always resounding in our ears through the tales of fond memories of our parents.
The short interaction of two days has been so warm and close that we do feel that we have now our brethren separated by a border but much closer through our heart.
...I also take the opportunity to extend to you an open and warm invitation to plan a visit to India and give us an opportunity to host your visit. We are sure that this will open a great window for our long-term friendship and relationship.
...Allah Hafiz.

JCB Toughphone Marketing Director Jason Kemp finds another inventive way to put the JCB Sitemaster 2 through its paces.
When we launched the original Toughphone in 2007 one of the tests was to put the phone in a cement mixer. Celebrity Toughphone tester Peter Jones (who outside of Dragons' Den owns the company that makes the JCB Toughphone) put five Toughphones in a cement mixer. We left them in the rotating drum for a couple of minutes with sand and gravel. All survived.
So we thought we'd take that challenge further. We got one bag of quick drying concrete and a Sitemaster 2, mixed the concrete and put the phone in to set (while we went off and strapped a Pro-Smart to a couple of rockets).
A couple of hours later and the concrete had set hard – now here's the tough bit, can the phone survive being smashed out of concrete with screen intact and still be able to function. Have a look and see for yourself…

'=========================================================================='' MediaMonkey Script'' NAME: DJTiedSongsGroups' DESCRIPTION:' Lets you use auto-dj while playing together groups of songs that should go together' (groups of songs must previously be tagged as linked)'' AUTHOR: Tanguy Kervahut' DATE : 11.10.2008'' Modified: 29.10.2008' -Added "By album" option' -Change the mechanism, it now adds a whole group (or album) at once. So it can add more tracks than the maximum specified for auto-dj when' a group has more tracks than the maximum.'' Modified: 24.02.2009' -"By album" option now gives the same weight to all albums (before an album with more tracks had more chances to play)' -For multi-disc albums, ask if whole album should play or only selected disc.'' Modified: 17.03.2009' - Fix a small bug when tracks don't have track order'' Modified: 05.12.2011' - Added a second source playlist, and a date/time field after which the second playlist should be used.' - Date should be in format: 2011-11-23 18:10'' INSTALL:' - Copy script to MediaMonkey's "Scripts" folder' - Add an script entry to file Scripts.ini (example shown below)'' USE:' For songs you want in one group, change the Custom3 field for these songs to' the same value, beginning with LT (this indicates a "linked track").' E.g. for an album "Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon" you can change the Custom3 field' for all tracks to "LT Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon". (without quotation marks).' Bear in mind that shorter values for the Custom3 field are faster (so better "LT PF-DSOTM")' Order of tracks in a tied group is indicated using the standard Track Number field.''

daztrue wrote:It'll be no surprise to you that when I randomised the list and a medley track was selected, the rest of the medley was added to the list again. I realise it would be far more complicated to remove the generated tracks when selecting randomise, although it's food for thought!
daztrue wrote:The one other thing that would require more in-depth programming - again, food for thought - would be the benefit of the script not causing MM to lose memory of which tracks have been played in the list. Basically, what I observed (before repeatedly playing the list) was a shuffle play, of which the included medley track was the second to last to be selected, which, of course, generated the rest of the medley, which played accordingly, BUT afterwards I was expecting the one unplayed track in the Now Playing list to then play. But of course, as I explained before, the track after the medley then played, after which, tracks continued to be picked at random that had already played. Am I right in saying that without the script, a shuffled Now Playing list wouldn't have repeated already played tracks, thus memorising them until the list has finished?

HAZARD – The county judge and former jailer should repay money they were overpaid in 2010, the judge should present quarterly reports to the fiscal court, and greater controls should be applied to certain financial aspects of county government. Those findings were all included in a new state audit of the Perry County Fiscal Court released on Friday.
The audit covers the court's fiscal year which ended on June 30, 2011, and while auditors noted that the county's statements fairly represent the county's finances, there were several issues noted by auditors on the final report.
In 2010, according to the audit, Perry County Judge-Executive Denny Ray Noble was inadvertently overpaid in the amount of $3,148, while former Jailer Johnny Blair was overpaid in the amount of $2,307.
Auditors noted that the salary schedules for both county judge and jailer are based on a bi-weekly schedule of 26 pay periods. In the 2010 calendar year, there was 27 pay periods, and it appears that the treasurer inadvertently paid each the judge and jailer an additional paycheck.
Auditors recommended that the treasurer take steps to assure the number of pay periods, and that Noble and Blair pay those funds back to the fiscal court. According to the county's response, these issues are being evaluated.
The audit also noted that Judge Noble should prepare and present quarterly reports to the fiscal court, adding that they could find no evidence that such reports were being presented.
According to a state statute, county judges in Kentucky are required to, within 15 days after the end of each quarter, prepare a financial report including receipts, expenditures and transfers. The report should be posted in the courthouse and presented to the members of the fiscal court, and also read at the court's following meeting.
The county responded that these reports will be prepared and presented to the fiscal court.
Other comments made by auditors included one that the county does not have "adequate controls over disbursements." While performing tests, auditors noted that they found limited instances where invoices were not provided or not on file at the fiscal court, some invoices were not approved in the minutes, and one invoice was not approved within the required 30-day window.
Auditors recommend that officials reevaluate controls over disbursements, to which the county responded that action is being taken to ensure compliance.
Auditors also noted that the fiscal court should improve controls with payroll, noting that they found several issues with timesheets, including tests that found some timesheets did not indicate time taken for lunch or breaks, timesheets that were not signed by a supervisor, and one timesheet on which it appeared the employee's timesheet did not agree with the supervisor's accumulation of time.
Two other comments were made, noting that the county treasurer should establish controls over the public properties corporation, prepare an accurate liabilities schedule, and an updated depreciation schedule.
The audit report can be read in its entirety online at www.auditor.ky.gov.

text: So here is the latest on our situation. Last week we were told that Connie (bmom) in prison was ok with us adopting her baby . Now we are trying to figure out exactly how we do that. No one at the prison seems to know the protocol although one lady I talked to said they do this quite often...maybe they could write down the procedure this time so that there won't be so many questions next time. Anyway, we are working wifh our lawyer to make sure that Connie has a caseworker that she can call with questions she has and also who will be able to accept her relinquishment papers. So far all we know is that this caseworker needs to contact the wardens office at the prison and request access to her. Hopefully that is taken care of quickly because the end of the month (when she is due) is coming very fast. Keep us in your prayers

PEMBROKE — The Town Council got an earful on Monday from a resident who criticized the leadership in the town government and the Police Department.
Gary C. Strickland's deep voice boomed across the council chambers as he addressed the "chain of command" in the town, at times waving his arms, then placing his hands on the podium and leaning toward the council.
"Was it just me or all of the discussion that you had about what (Police Chief Frank Hernandez) wanted, we never once heard Allen Dial or anybody else mention the citizens?" he said referring to an earlier agenda item. "You know what it was about? M-O-N-E-Y."
Strickland, of Maynor Street, expressed frustration with the police response to a recent incident during which he awoke one night to find a man breaking into his truck.
"I come out on the porch with my pistol, and I thought he'd seen me and run off. He shoots at me with a .357, slams into the refrigerator right beside me," he said. "… The guy shot at me. They (the police) come out there and what do they want? My telephone number, and they got that."
Strickland alleged that no other action was taken besides the officers taking his phone number. He also said that complaints about people riding ATVs near his home at night have not been addressed.
"You have to have responsible leadership, and it doesn't stop at Frank. Frank gets his cue from the gentlemen sitting up there," he said, criticizing the council for not selecting a replacement for the late Councilman Robert Williamson "because everybody's trying to get their man in to go along with them."
"The sad thing is, the sum total of our problems — I said it was at your doors, it's not — it lies at ours, Mayor," he said. "We're the people that keep electing the same folks. Maybe we will get embarrassed enough that we will make some changes. We will see next election."
Mayor Milton Hunt responded: "I assure you all of us have a genuine concern about the safety of our citizens."
In other action on Monday, the council:
— Heard a presentation of the 2012-2013 budget from interim Town Manager Marie Moore, who said that the town's budget of $5.28 million would include a 3 percent cost of living increase. The tax rate of 64 cents per $100 worth of propety would remain the same. The council said a public hearing on the town's budget for June 25, which will also serve as the council's July meeting.
— Approved a contract with the Wooten Company for water and sewer repairs on standby pumps and Seventh Street water lines, which will be paid for by a $600,000 Clean Water Management Trust Fund grant, of which the town must match $150,000.
— Approved an amendment to the town's Auxiliary Procedures and Policy ordinance to require that auxiliary police officers be qualified in Field Training Officer and Basic Law Enforcement Training. According to Hernandez, auxiliary officers who aren't qualified aren't allowed to carry handguns or drive patrol cars.
— Approved a letter of non-prejudice for Locklear, Locklear and Jacobs, which would like to open an office in the former hardware store located at 113 W. Third St.
— Heard from Landa Gaddy on a program designed to help solve "family issues" facing youth in Robeson County. The issues are junk food, obesity, poor habits and lack of goals, she said.
— Approved a tax adjustment for the Lumbee Nation Tribal programs. The council voted in April that buildings owned by the tribe are tax exempt, but the taxes on two buildings on Union Chapel Road that the Tribe owns and has been renting out will be put back on the books.
— Set a public hearing date of June 25 for two people, Angela Revels and Maggie Mercer, who each own land on Second Street that they would like to have re-zoned from residential to commercial.
— Authorized Rhonda Locklear, supervisor of wastewater treatment plants, to send the findings of a proposed corrective action plan to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and The Pantry, parent company of Kangaroo. The corrective action plan is for the removal of contamination from the site of the Kangaroo gas station on West Third Street, which was destroyed by an electrical fire in November. Consultants for Kangaroo have proposed a plan to remove the contamination, but Locklear said at a meeting in May that the town should have a consultant look over the plan.
— Approved an amendment to the town's computer gaming ordinance to change the definition of what is considered a church and modify language that said there had to be 150 feet from the front door of a gaming establishment to the front door of a school, day care or church. "I put in some other ways that a church may be defined," Town Attorney Gary Locklear said. "… I took out 'main entrance to main entrance' and added 'property to property.'"
— Heard from Catherine Brooks, who complained about stormwater drains on her street.
— Heard from Mitch Lowry, who announced that the fourth annual Pembroke bicycle ride will be on June 30.

Strawberry Earth: Green Your Bar and Party Hearty
Strawberry Earth: Green Your Bar and Party HeartyStrawberries & Cream from Strawberry Earth on Vimeo . The lure of Cheers, the bar in the 1982-1992 "Cheers" the TV show, was that everybody knew your name. And they were always glad you came. But what if Norm had told Woody, "look the brewskis aren't enough. I think you ought to trick out this bar so it's eco-friendly." Most likely Woody would have been confused. Perhaps a more likely scenario, would have been Frasier Crane (remember he was in that show) telling Sam, "Look man, I think a more sustainable but upscale aesthetic is needed to attract more business." Sam also might have been a little confused, considering it was the 90s, however in a green savvy 2008 this is actually happening. Putting customer purchasing power to work, a new Amsterdam based eco magazine Strawberry Earth challenged a few of their favorite local bar owners to see what percent of a night's revenue they'd spend on environmental improvements on their premises. The bars loved the idea, competed in the challenge (even though admittedly, the challenge name Strawberries & Cream doesn't sound like a bar-challenge at all) and the first winner is the Bar Waldorf. On December 7th, Bar Waldorf has promised 60% of the night's revenue will go to greening the bar. Strawberry Earth, a self described, "magazine with ... |

In his brilliant 1993 satire "Et Tu, Babe," Mark Leyner proposed a new concept in body art, which is the specialty of "visceral tattoos." The narrator travels to Mexico where his chest is opened and the insignia of a "guy surfing a wave of lava, wearing polka-dotted trunks," is tattooed directly on his heart. The dye used shows up on CT scans and apparently women, especially x-ray technicians, love it. Superficially, a jest at those who indelibly paint their skin, Leynor's parody is an allegory to the brutal invasiveness of healthcare. Going even further, we must understand that medicine often causes deep injury beyond that of the flesh. That injury is a tattoo of the mind.
When someone is treated for disease, their body is invaded. We open someone's chest and replumb the vessels of the heart, remove and rebuild a breast, reconstruct a larynx, open the skull to remove a cancer, resect and reconnect inflamed bowel or simply use a scope to repair a knee. With these procedures, a person is healed, fixed and often cured. They are whole and pure again. Perhaps … but what about the mind?
Any invasion of the body that scars bone, muscle, and vessel, also scars the mind. An imprint on the spirit if you will, changing us at the deepest level. The psychological damage may be slight, just a little irritation, to be tucked away and never again considered. Sometimes the cut is so deep, so profound, that the person becomes forever a patient transformed, always wounded. The emotional ghost of the invasive act is a complex visceral picture stamped on conscious and unconscious mind, like the residual image of a brilliant flash bulb to the eye.
How can we predict how deep a wound may become, and how much it may transform? Is it the person or the act? It was just a minor procedure, a one day stay in the hospital, not really much pain, rapid recovery, she was back to work in two weeks, but somehow the wound buries deep into the core of a mind changed forever, a deep pain that never heals. Stage 1 melanoma … take out the ovaries … a near lethal aneurism … no big deal … really?
Such transformative wounds humiliate and confuse. How do you tell those that you love that though you are cured you are still in pain? How does one say, "I am different." Should you not just be happy to be alive, and healthy? It is time to enjoy life and get back to the day-to-day! The world knows that you are well. Why does it not feel that way?
I have a patient who is born again healthy. His diverticulitis was treated with two surgeries, heart disease bypassed, prostate cancer in remission, hip replaced, cataracts removed, laryngeal polyps gone, hypertension controlled, hearing aids fitted and ulcers healed. He is perfect and has a fine prognosis. Nonetheless, he is a shell of the man who raised children, built a career, reveled in sunsets and deeply loved his wife. A posttraumatic skeleton. Empty, depressed, nervous … the surgeon's brand burned into his mind.
The critical lesson for doctors is the deep psychic affects of even successful therapy. Physicians must be aware that we invade not just the body, but also the psyche, leaving behind transformative images of pain, humiliation, and fear. This means choosing therapies carefully, educating well and giving care gently. It requires engaging with each patient after it is "over" to help him or her reconnect and heal. It means being aware that very long after the procedure, the invasion, wisps of suffering remain deep inside.
As family and friends of patients, we must also remember that healed and Healed are not the same thing. Just because the body is better, does not mean that the mind has followed. We need empathetic support and understanding long after the crisis has past. New trauma or stress can release demons, and we must all be aware and sensitive, for yesterday's surgery is tomorrow's pain.
Finally, as patients we must understand we have been changed. There is something brutal about invasive medical care, which may affect us deeply. We must be gentle with ourselves and realize healing is more than tissue deep. Healing is of the mind, and may in part take a lifetime. A wound hard to expect, a sore slow to mend. If we are not cautious, it can change our soul. A tattoo on the brain.

Thanks very much. Deep injuries need to be seen with the heart and mind, they can not be seen with the eye.

As someone who has had several procedures, one of which is "mystifying" to most people not in the medical field and even some who are, I agree. My disease progresses, there is no cure only tolerance. I have been told time and time again I am an enigma and we all laugh in the exam room. Most recently when it when discovered I have almost a complete resistance to coumadin. I laugh because there is little else to do but keep a positive attitude and move forward. You have summarized what really goes on post surgery.

You carry a difficult burden. I am impressed by your attitude ... perhaps there is some clue there about healing.

In dealing with injured clients, the emotional distress is often the hardest part of the case to seek compensation for. An accident doesn't just harm the body, but rather, the medical care - while fixing the problem - can create further trauma. Yet invisible scars are often ignored, despite what Dr. Salwitz and other healthcare professionals, know to be a fact of life.

I think you make a clear and challenging point. Whether it is doctors, friends, family, or in your example the arena of litigation, it is very hard to see and fully understand the deep emotional injuries which can accompany medical care. I suspect we do not as much ignore that pain, as fail to empathize with its presence.

Absolutely. The human brain is hard wired to learn. We absorb, catalog, organize and memorize data. The problem is that when that data is horrible, painful, or terrifying, that "learning" can disrupt us deeply. I think the PTSD is a solid model for post-medical care emotional trauma, and perhaps the two problems can teach us something about treatment.

I was diagnosed with a UPJ Obstruction as an incidental finding on a Ct Scan. Well, multiple urinalysis, 3 Nuclear Renal Scans, A Ct Scan Urogram, Cystoscopy, Two Prostate Exams and a thousand dollars later, I was told I probably had it all my life.
Great News!
However, while none of those test were extremely traumatizing, the memory of what seems like an expensive fruitless medical endeavor will always be tattooed in my mind.
BTW, I'm a RN for over 30 years (ICU/CCU/Cardiac Cath Lab/Radiology/Interventional Radiology/Case Management) and the experience still sits awkward in my mind.
PS, great article.

Thanks for your beautifully expressed and profound essay. Just fixing the "parts" is not automatically going to make a patient well. As you profess, true healing needs to address mind/body/spirit and often needs to continue for a long time. This can be true as well for those "significant others" of the patient treated. They are often forgotten, especially once the patient's treatment has ended.

You have taken my observation to another level ... the deep emotional injury which can spread from one person to another, especially to caregivers. A remarkable and disturbing concept that the physical events which happen to one person imprint on their mind and that psychological injury can emotionally hurt others. The cost in ruined marriages, angry children and lost opportunities is probably immense. At the broadest level one wonders what a deep burden our society carries because of wounds suffered by individuals.

Thanks for your response. As a psychotherapist, I am often witness to this kind of deep seated pain. I am also fortunate to participate in and help facilitate a level of healing that can lead to amazing growth in patients and those connected (and in myself as a side effect).

Hey doc, do you think the losers, and maybe even the winners, of this class warfare game we play suffer from forms of ptsd? Figured i'd ask a doctor whilst he's in the house.
Our modern lives have made us all,
Rushing around until we fall,
As skits so frantic,
We've become manick,
With delusions of grandeur,
And suicidal tendencies,
So next time your lives do race,
Your time here embrace,
For in the blink of his eye,
We all must die.

I have no doubt. As the poet said, "Mankind today is like lost sons, Searching in the tempest night, Lost but not forgotten.."

Moving day is never a relaxed affair even if you are just relocating across town. If you are moving across the country, the logistical difficulty of getting all of your stuff - and yourselves - from one place to the other increases dramatically.
Therefore, it's even more important to put in the necessary preparation when you are moving a long distance, which begins long before the movers arrive.
What not to bring
The time leading up to any move is a great time to take inventory and donate or throw out anything you don't absolutely need, but it's even more important during a long-distance move. In the months leading up to the move, getting rid of old clothes or furniture that you won't use at your new place can reduce the stress of packing, but there are also a few items that really shouldn't be shipped whether you could use them or not. Here are some common items that you'll likely want to leave behind:
* House plants. There's the potential for all the dirt to make a big mess in the truck, but they're also unlikely to survive a long-distance move.
* Anything combustible or flammable, including but not limited to ammunition, propane tanks, gasses or oils.
* Anything that could spill and damage other items in the truck, such as disinfecting cleaners, bleach and house paints.
Lining up the movers
In a long-distance move, it's even more important to hire the right mover for the job. Getting in touch with movers early in the process will give you plenty of time to take care of what you need to on your end to make the move go smoothly.
As you consider long distance moving companies, make sure each is registered with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration at www.protectyourmove.gov. On the site you can also find helpful information on preparing for your move, including a checklist of everything you should do before, after and during the move. You should also receive a brochure titled "Ready to Move?" and a booklet titled "Your Rights on Responsibilities When You Move" from the mover that will help you as you go through the moving process.
In any move, perhaps the most important part of the process is accurately detailing everything you plan to move during your call with the moving company prior to your move. This is especially important in a long-distance move. Not only will this help you to get an accurate estimate from the company, but it will allow the movers to plan for the right-size load and ensure that everything finds its way onto the truck.
Additional considerations
Since moving especially fragile or unique items yourself might not be possible during a long-distance move, talk to your mover ahead of time about these items and learn how you'll need to pack them so they don't get broken or damaged. Especially valuable or sentimentally important items such as jewelry, photographs and sensitive paperwork should be either taken with you or sent using traceable shipping options.
You may also need to make separate shipping arrangements for big-ticket items such as boats or all-terrain vehicles. Your mover may be able to help you in finding the right service for these items.
If you'll be staying someplace temporarily before you move into your permanent home in your new location, your mover can also help get the items you won't immediately need into storage. And if you have a small gap between your move-out and move-in times, talk to your mover about temporary storage options.
A long-distance move is never easy, but with a well-developed plan and the proper amount of preparation, you can make it go as smoothly as possible.

I'll be starting a 100% raw, six month challenge on October 1st. For me, I'm going from Vegetarian SAD (don't let the "Vegetarian" part fool you, it's a miserable diet, indeed) to 100% raw vegan, because I've learned from being raw before, and trying to "transition" and "balance" that it has to be all or nothing for me.
I, personally, will be following Alissa's philosophy of anything goes, as long as it's raw. After the garbage I've been dumping in my body, I'm sure it'll be delighted with dealing with the problems different raw food combinations.
I'll also check in on the monthly challenges and be a part of those, but I think it would be amazing if a bunch of us can support each other, if anyone else is ready to make a truly profound difference in their own life.

FRG is the most logical poster on this board. You guys just don\'t like where the logical conclusions take you.
We did a decent job of shutting down one of the best passing offense in football that has 2 pro bowl level receivers and the best TE to ever play the game. That with a set of corners that will mostly not be active next year. I think the scheme is okay, the corners just have to continue to turn and try to make a play on the ball. Our LBers getting better in coverage over the middle will help a significant amount. We all forget about that but David was excellent in pass defense towards the end of the year.
Actually the problem isnt that Freeman stinks. He is average. He puts up good numbers just often enough to make you think he is better than he is. Bad and great are convincing. But mediocre makes you live with the delusion for too many years. He is just good enough to waste our time and not good enough to get us where we want to go.
Atl was not into that game at all.
I don't count the last game against the Falcons, they were just looking forward to the playoffs.
Besides, I'm pretty sure the Bucs ran a variation of the Tampa 2 in that ATL game,
The line stunts and blitzes are ran all year just didn't work.. Partly by scheme and partly by players. We don't have pass rushers at LB and all the stinks and loops kill the quickness advantages of our down 4. I'd be scads happier to see Lovie Smith of Dave Wannestadt or Mike Zimmerman showing up ( obviously none of them will just using names and styles of play people know) for our personnel rather than what we've got.

09-Apr-2012 | Excellent | Great | |
10-Mar-2012 | Poor | Bad size selection | |
20-Jan-2012 | Bad | a bit disppointing - all my previous 34" waist trousers from you still fit perfectly - these ones are tight - the pockets are already showing signs of stain. Also, the pockets are not very deep and as a consequence the white lining shows up quite badly when sitting down | That's a shame! We'll take your comments on board but in the meanwhile, you're welcome to exchange them for a larger size or a refund altogether. |
15-Nov-2011 | Excellent | as ever, excellent - | |
08-Nov-2011 | Excellent | took a little longer to arrive than I expected | |
31-Oct-2011 | Poor | There was a tailoring error on the trousers, I think - too much material by the right hand pocket. However, replacement pair sent which do fit | This is most peculiar indeed and shouldn't be the case! Thank you for contacting us directly already to inform us of this and to arrange a replacement pair of trousers. I'm pleased to hear that the new trousers fit well and we'll look forward to receiving the originals back and refunding you for them. |
10-Oct-2011 | Excellent | Everything arrived, as promised and as expected. |

12.03.2013 @ 18:49Nah it wasn't your fault, don't worry about it. We ended up agreeing anyways. But thanks for the comment! Cheers -
21.02.2013 @ 03:43Thanks a lot. Your comment about armor made me load an older save while still in Flotsam and kill the Kayran shirtless. I turned down the difficulty from Dark to Hard to compensate. It was... well... AWESOME! -
19.02.2013 @ 02:40Just read your "arrow in the knee story". You're a regular witcher of prose. -
18.02.2013 @ 16:52Your new signature is hilarious! Do you just come up with things like that? Or do you have some sort of Magic Tome of Clever Signatures? -
11.02.2013 @ 03:04Hey, right back at you. Your posts are enjoyable as well, and a much welcome remedy as I fight this flu. -
05.02.2013 @ 00:11I think I never had the chance to speak with and tell my appreciation. Well now that's it. I really enjoy your presence. All my appreciation :) -
19.09.2012 @ 00:07Thanks for the tip; it does sound like my friend should hear about that game! -
08.07.2012 @ 21:57Sounds like a good idea. Given how short it is, it's a good "between games" snack and not really something you absolutely have to have as soon as humanly possible. -
08.07.2012 @ 18:02LOVE your response in the "Did I Miss Something" thread!
What would we do without your sense of humor? This place would be so much poorer without it. -

08.04.2012 @ 12:20Oh well, I had already turned off the camera assist and was hoping for something more drastic but I guess I'll have to live with it. Thanks anyway :) The single-player camera is tolerable (although makes me feel claustrophobic). The co-op camera is the one that knocked me on my ass XD I tried playing with a friend but couldn't handle it for more than a few minutes before I had to quit. -

08.04.2012 @ 02:18Thanks for the add :D I clicked "Add me as a friend" twice by accident so it added then removed you XD Anyhow, that's an interesting avatar. What is it from? :D
Also, I got Dungeon Siege 3 because you got me intrigued in the story. However this camera is making me sick XD Is there anything I can do to make the camera zoom out a little bit more? (Mods, ini edits, what...
