One to Watch: GBPUSD heeds to bearish signal
Don't forget that you can now follow Forex.com's research team on Twitter: http://twitter.com/FOREXcom
For those of you who joined my FX Street webinar this morning then you may have noted that I pointed out a bearish divergence between GBPUSD price action and the hourly MACD. Usually when this happens it signals a turn-around in price action. Indeed, as we have progressed throughout the London session GBPUSD has sold off. The break below 1.5885 in GBPUSD was pivotal and triggered the move lower in price action in line with the MACD signal.
In fairness sterling hasn't sold off in isolation, EURUSD and AUDUSD have also followed suit, however the bearish divergence noted in GBPUSD hinted that the bulls were losing their grip on GBPUSD before the actual sell off occurred.
Going forward, this cross is likely to be driven by the outcome of 1, the ECB meeting and 2, the NFP reading on Friday. Tomorrow's service sector PMI reading from the UK could also cause some volatility as an upside or downside surprise to the consensus expectation of 51.2 for August may cause a bout of short-term volatility in this cross.
The hourly MACD suggests there could be some further downside to come as this indicator is not in oversold territory yet. 1.5850 then 1.5835 - the Tenkan line on the daily Ichimoku cloud - are both key support levels ahead of 1.58. While 1.5905 - a double top on the hourly chart - is key near-term resistance.

A British company is offering seats to adventurers willing to go the extra mile on a historic journey to the moon.
The first 500,000-mile round trip in a converted Soviet-era space station could take place as early as 2015.
Art Dula, founder and chief executive of Isle of Man-based Excalibur Almaz, told a space tourism meeting in London: "We're ready to sell the tickets."
Only those with the "right stuff" should apply: besides the necessary level of physical and mental fitness, that includes a likely fare of around £100 million per person.
US space entrepreneur Mr Dula has acquired two Soviet "Almaz" space stations, designed for orbital spying operations.
Thrusters attached to the stations will convert them to long-distance spaceships.
Four re-entry capsules, or re-usable return vehicles (RRVs), will ferry three people at a time to the orbiting space station and return them to earth.
All the space vehicles - the cost of which is confidential - are housed in hangers on the Isle of Man. One of the RRVs is currently being exhibited outside the Queen Elizabeth II conference centre in Westminster, London.
If the bold plan succeeds, a private British space company will carry out the first manned moon mission since Apollo 17 in 1972.
The aim is for three people to fly to the moon, orbit the lunar surface and return safely to earth, parachuting to the ground in an RRV. Much of the actual flying will be computer-controlled and all necessary training, including the human skills needed to pilot the spacecraft, is provided in the package.
Speaking at the Royal Aeronautical Society in London, Mr Dula outlined his company's ambitious plan.
Marketing studies suggested, at a "conservative estimate", that around 30 moon-mission seats could be taken up between 2015 and 2025: enough for one mission a year.
The RRVs can be used 15 times and each space station has a service life of 15 years.
Mr Dula stressed that the moon mission goes far beyond "space tourism" of the kind offered by Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic. The trip would be a "private expedition" rather than a sightseeing tour.
"Excalibur Almaz is willing and able to send crewed missions deeper into space than would be possible aboard any other spacecraft in existence today," said Mr Dula.
"Our fleet of space stations and re-entry capsules enables us to safely fly members of the public to moon orbit as early as 2015.
"There is not a single other vessel, owned by a government or the private sector, that is suitable for a manned flight to lunar orbit, utilising proven technologies.
"The EA fleet has previously flown to space several times and will undertake many more missions. It contains vessels of a design that has spent thousands of hours in space successfully. This is scientific fact, not fiction."
A giant Russian Proton rocket, launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, will put the 30-tonne space station into orbit. One of the two Salyut-class space stations will be kept in reserve on the ground.
Smaller Soyuz FG launch vehicles will lift the shuttle capsules.
The station has 90 cubic metres of living space and provides a protected "refuge" where crew members can shelter in the event of a solar radiation storm.
Although the programme involves US personnel and Soviet technology, Mr Dula sees it very much as a British enterprise.
He says he chose the Isle of Man not only to take advantage of its tax benefits but because it is a hub of space industry. Of the 54 international space satellite companies, 30 are based on the island.
"Let's talk about being a space-faring society like we were a sea-faring society. It's exactly in the same vein as the historic exploration that was done by Europe and the British Isles over the last several centuries that resulted in so much growth," Mr Dula told the meeting.
He has even more far-reaching plans to develop an entire private space programme serving governments, companies and members of the public.
As well as expeditions to the moon, he envisages unmanned research missions, transportation of people and cargo, and chartered space exploration flights.
"We've already had billionaires who have said they will mine the asteroids," he said. "This is a paradigm shift ... whether we do it or somebody else does it, it's never going to go back to being national space programmes."

Wow, I can't believe it's been another year. It's my Second Birthday! I've really been enjoying myself. The newest thing I like to do is swim. Throw the tennis ball into the water and off I go! I just love it and I like to do it everyday! Too bad winter is coming...the water is getting too cold! Maybe I'll get a wetsuit for a Birthday present.
I got together with my brothers and sister last Sunday. We had a little party in the park. It was fun to see everyone again. Check out our group photo.
Today was my First Birthday! I got together with my Mother, 3 Brothers and 1 Sister. At our party we shared a yummy cake and we played together. I was happy to see my Family. Everyone got a soft toy jack to play with (get it...a toy jack for Jack Russells). Check out the pictures from the party.
I have some new playmates! My new friends are Maggie and Murphy. Murphy, a Golden Retriever, doesn't play with me much but Maggie and I like to chase each other. I'm afraid Maggie will be too big for me when she grows up! She is a Rottweiler puppy, 4 months old!

Rautenstrauch and Vivian join Dan Coates as captains of the 2011 squad. The trio will lead the Griffs back into action on Saturday with a 1 p.m. contest at Harvard.

While making things easier to do is generally a good thing, making it easier for developers to create ads to populate our mobile apps doesn't seem like the best application of this hypothesis.
iAds, the mobile advertising platform developed by Apple for its iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad, launches this month in Britain and to coincide with this Apple has announced the availability of the iAd Producer. This is effectively a point-and-click ad builder which takes the messy HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript out of the equation. What you are left with is a series of choices depending what you want to put into your ad.
iAds, seen as a rival to Google's AdMob mobile advertising service, launched in the States last summer and sees ads appear full-screen within an app when you click on the banner. This is in contrast to the current situation where you are taken to a browser when you click on an ad banner.

Reverse Osmosis Membrane – Study the risks of Employing Reverse Osmosis Strategies and Membranes
How can a reverse osmosis membrane perform to purify drinking h2o? The elemental thought powering reverse osmosis will be which the membranes will block out any film tech molecule in just the h2o which is greater than a water molecule. Which implies that it may filter out all minerals and a lot of big metals. Sounds superb, proper? No.
The matter is – water is made up of critical, healthy minerals that your all round body wishes, like calcium, potassium, magnesium and trace quantities of sodium. For those who filter these out, the h2o no longer is helpful to hydrate you, since it has no electrolytes remaining. In addition to that, demineralised h2o will leech these individuals minerals from one's human body. Pulling calcium from a bones, as an example, just isn't a fantastic recommendation.
Reverse osmosis membranes will filter out most hefty metals, that is definitely superb – you don't have to have immediate or mercury while in the drinking water. But a reverse osmosis membrane can not capture most chemical compounds, for the reason that these are additional compact than drinking water molecules. Pesticides and herbicides, by way of instance, transfer all in the membrane.
So, what is actually a reverse osmosis membrane in fact carrying out? In essence, it really is getting rid of all of the beneficial minerals and leaving many of the deadly, carcinogenic chemical substances powering. A more sensible choice are going to be to truly utilize a filtration approach that may go away the minerals that you choose to opt for to need during the drinking water and remove the numerous unsafe things that you choose to don't require.
You could demand to look for a filtration approach that includes a carbon filter for filtering out some chemicals and bacteria, a multi-media filter block and likewise a sub micron filter that captures the remainder about the chemical substances and an ion trade to revive the critical minerals. You might obtain a person that mounts to your faucet, installs beneath the sink or is mounted at the h2o entrance toward the residence. The full dwelling filters give the simplest security.

Over the weekend, the Oakland A's re-assigned several players to their minor league camp. On Saturday, non-roster pitchers Sonny Gray, Justin Thomas and Bruce Billings were all sent back to minor league camp. The cuts continued on Sunday, as the A's optioned pitchers Andrew Werner and Jesse Chavez to Triple-A Sacramento and right-hander Michael Ynoa to Low-A Beloit. The A's also re-assigned non-roster players Kyler Newby, Ryan Ortiz, Beau Taylor, Miles Head, Jefry Marte and Addison Russell to minor league camp. The cuts continued into Monday, as pitcher Arnold Leon was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento.
The A's now have 46 players in big league camp.
Several players sent back to minor league camp had good stints in big league camp. Marte, in his first spring training with the A's, had four hits in 10 at-bats, including two doubles. Russell, despite being the youngest player in camp, held his own both offensively and defensively. He had only four hits in 16 at-bats, but he hit several balls hard that were caught.
On the mound, Chavez allowed only one run on two hits in five innings. He struck-out four. Billings allowed a run in 4.2 innings and he didn't walk a batter.
Leon has had an interesting spring thus far. In his first year as a member of the 40-man roster, the right-hander struggled in big league camp, walking four in three innings. He joined Team Mexico for the WBC last week. It was Leon hitting a batter in Mexico's game against Canada on Saturday that led to a huge brawl. Leon was ejected from the game.
The A's are dealing with several minor injuries in camp right now, as well. Second baseman Jemile Weeks missed all of last week with a shoulder bruise, although he is expected to return to game action soon. Scott Sizemore, who is competing with Weeks for the A's starting second base job, also missed time last week. He had a bruised hand caused by a hit-by-pitch. Sizemore returned to the line-up late last week and the injury shouldn't impact him further.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported that Michael Taylor has been out with a cut finger.
A's Opening Day starter Brett Anderson left his Sunday start after only eight pitches when he strained a back muscle reaching for a throw at third. Anderson isn't expected to miss too much time with the injury.

HTML vs. Plain Text
Ever since I mentioned these two terms in a tip last week, I've come to the conclusion that some of you aren't sure what the difference is between them. How do they differ? How do they effect your computing life and why am I even going over this? Well, keep reading and I do believe you will see!
Basically, the differences between HTML and plain text affects you when you're working with your e-mail (unless you do a lot with Web pages). The settings you have chosen in your e-mail will determine how you see your e-mail. If you have the plain text choice selected, you won't see anything but text, but if you have HTML enabled, you'll see pictures and any other fun things that may be in the e-mail.
HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language and it is the dominant language for Web pages. It helps you to see different headings, paragraphs, lists, embedded images, interactive forms, etc. It's like a script code that may look confusing to you, but when you have it all in regular view, you can see everything you need to see. On the other hand, plain text is just text and it's completely unformatted with no fancy work. So, as you can see, it's a lot about personal preference as well.
If you think you have plain text selected in your e-mail program and you want HTML, just go through your settings (usually under the Tools, Options or Settings menus) and change them around. You can bring a whole new life to your e-mails in no time!

Whitmer high (OH) defensive back LeRoy Alexander started off what should be a busy couple of weeks for the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
The 6-foot-2, 185 pound athlete committed to Nebraska on Saturday morning, after receiving an offer from the Huskers during his official visit.
A former player for Nebraska graduate assistant Vince Marrow when he was the head coach at Springfield high school (OH), Alexander becomes the 12th verbal commitment for the Huskers.
"It's the biggest reliever ever, knowing that I can now focus on my basketball season, track season, training, and finishing out my senior year," said Alexander on Sunday to BigRedReport.com. "It's nice to not have to worry about anything anymore.
"Coming to Lincoln, getting an offer was really something I was hoping to get. Going through the entire visit, I felt like I was home...I loved the campus and the town. The facilities are great and I think I will be able to succeed in life going there. Everything is really organized there and clean. It's great."
With his only other offer being from Toledo, Alexander's recruitment has been somewhat slow. The last 12 months have been an interesting one for the 2012 prospect.
In May of 2011, the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) ruled he was ineligible to play for Whitmer due to violating the body's bylaws on transfers.
The case appears to be still pending and will somewhat impact transfers and eligibility in the state of Ohio going forward, but Alexander's lawyers won the right for their client to continue to participate until the case has been settled – meaning he was not only eligible for football, but is now participating in basketball and track in the future.
Marrow won't be the only Husker Alexander knows from his past. During his time with Springfield, he was teammates with 2011 defensive tackle signee Kevin Williams.
"Knowing Coach Marrow has been helpful, because I know he's not going to steer me in the wrong direction," said Alexander. "Knowing Kevin Williams is here as well, it's a little extra support, being former teammates with him. I should never have a problem missing home with guys like that there."
Alexander is excited to get to Lincoln in the future and knows the Husker fan base is one of the best in the country.
"My message to them would be that I'm going to work really hard, to become the best Husker I can be," said Alexander. "When I get a chance to get on the field, I'm going to take advantage of it and help the team in the process. I'm going to give 100 percent."
Alexander did it all this season for Whitmer. The 2012 prospect rushed for over 600 yards with eight touchdowns, while collecting over 40 tackles, two interceptions, and seven pass break ups on defense.
He's also a standout on the basketball court, averaging nearly 18.5 points and 8.1 rebounds over the last two seasons at Springfield.

Happy Holidays! Quick, Cheap E-cards Here to Stay
The holiday dust is settling and industry observers are beginning to tally the season's winners and losers. One of the winners, it seems, are 'e-cards', the emailed greeting cards that your friends send you with those corny graphics, animations and music.
In previous years, e-cards might have been fun, sure, but you wouldn't really use them for important occasions. This year, however, it would seem that e-cards are becoming "OK" for traditional events like Christmas. According to American Greetings, one of the biggest e-card producers, e-card utilization has increased by 10% this year. (Source: nytimes.com)
Hallmark, on the other hand, estimates that 300 million e-cards are sent out every year, roughly one e-card for every man, woman, and child in the United States. These numbers differ from those provided by the Greeting Card Association, which claim that 500 million online greetings have been sent this year, part of a 23 per cent rise. (Source: csmonitor.com)
Whatever the actual number -- nevermind that it's only a small fraction of the 20 billion pieces of mail the U.S. Post Office handles every year between Thanksgiving and Christmas -- it's clear that there is substantial growth in the use of e-cards.
Of course, what is so compelling about e-cards is that they're easy to send, easy to personalize, and have dynamic content. They often contain videos, animations, sound effects and other attention-getting phenomena. It's these characteristics that are driving their use, particularly among business senders. Surprisingly, being free isn't the most compelling thing about them. While many sites do offer their e-cards for free, in the last few years the traditional greeting card manufacturers have been pleased to find that some consumers are willing to pay for them. (Source: technewsworld.com) Americangreetings.com charges consumers a membership fee of $13.99 to use their library of e-cards and while hallmark.com still offer their e-cards for free, they also provide "premium" e-cards costing as much as $1.99 each.
There's a dark side to e-cards. They can carry computer viruses, Trojans, harvest email addresses from recipients, and transmit spam.
The threat of malware doesn't seem to have slowed the acceptance of e-cards, however. Even etiquette experts are beginning to begrudgingly publish guidelines for when to use e-cards and when to use paper. That's a sure sign that they're here to stay.

Renegade™ & PARANoIR Present: WWE 2006
Finally, after a few months of being shat on, work is starting to give me my life back. Which FINALLY means I can properly return to booking. But I was only ever going to come back to my baby that I had worked on a good 18 months for in 2006 and 07. While I enjoyed the short 2003 stint I wrote I just didn't seem myself sticking with it and I've always wanted to reach atleast Wrestlemania 23 with this project, and perhaps go beyond. This thread was my baby and I have some epicness planned for Mania. I did try to refresh things early last year with a brief 08 stint but that was balls tbh, and for those few who remember my Mania lineup for that, things have largely changed altho there is one or two things that will remain (including the feud that Wolfy creamed for in WIWA <3).
So yeah, when I left this thread I was up to Survivor Series and I intend to continue on from the PPV. Here are the results and info from that PPV, followed on by the rosters and such for both shows...
Survivor Series Recap
Cryme Tyme def. The New Age Outlaws, Lance Cade & Mark Jindrak, La Resistance, The Johnnies and Eugene & Goldust in an Elimination Gauntlet Match to retain their World Tag Team Championships @ 13:43.

Team SmackDown! (John Bradshaw Layfield, Randy Orton, Chris Jericho, Booker T & Batista) w/Paul Heyman def. Team RAW (Stone Cold Steve Austin, Christian, Sting, Monty Brown & Shawn Michaels) w/Mick Foley @ 36:48. Monty Brown's terrible run continued as he was the first competitor eliminated, sending him into a rage on his way to the back, kicking the stairs off and storming out, head in hands. It also saw Batista's troublesome shoulder injury worsened after coming into contact with the steel ring post. And the biggest talking point was Christian again showing his selfishness and discontent for his GM, eventually costing RAW the match as he turned on partner Steve Austin and hit him with an Unprettier right in front of Mick Foley before being dropped by the sole survivor for SmackDown, Randy Orton in a flash, straight after turning on Austin
Order of Elimination:
Monty Brown via Clothesline From Hell by JBL @ 9:35
Booker T via Sweet Chin Music by Shawn Michaels @ 13:49
Sting via RKO by Randy Orton @ 17:03
Batista via Stunner by Stone Cold Steve Austin @ 21:14

Christian via RKO by Randy Orton @ 36:41
Stone Cold Steve Austin via Unprettier Assist, Pinfall by Randy Orton @ 36:48
Monty Brown was clearly angered backstage and wondered if he'd ever get taken seriously again, and Coach told him he will be taken seriously, he just needs to make a serious statement of intent and a huge impact to show that Monty Brown "Ain't No Joke!"
Kurt Angle refuses to have an interview, with the Olympian extremely focused tonight, telling Romero not to even bother asking for one as he knocks on Angle's door
Goldberg def. The Undertaker in a Buried Alive Match @ 18:53. This was thanks to an assist from MONTY BROWN who followed up Coach's words moments ago and made a huge impact, sending Taker flying into the open grave with a POUNCE!~ Brown gained massive heat as he then assisted a shocked Goldberg in burying the Phenom alive!
Afterwards Stone Cold is interviewed by Todd Grisham about what his feelings were about losing the Inter Promotional Tag Match tonight and also on Christian but before Austin can say much, Goldberg barges right through, bumping into Austin, who takes offense to it. Goldberg grunts and goes to walk off but Austin stops him and demands to know what his problem is. Goldberg tells Austin he's warned him before and he'll warn him again, don't mess with him. Goldberg then barks at Austin to move, who responds by running Goldberg down, calling him a version 2 of Austin, saying he walks, talks and acts like Stone Cold, dresses like Stone Cold and just wants to be Stone Cold. Goldberg can only smirk evilly before going past Austin, again brushing the Rattlesnake's shoulder while Austin glares at "Da Man" as he heads out of view
Split screen view as Angle and Lesnar prepare for their match
World Heavyweight Championship Hype Video
Kurt Angle def. Brock Lesnar to retain the World Heavyweight Championship @ 25:37. In another epic contest between these two, Lesnar eventually was forced to submit to the Ankle Lock after enduring 2 minutes in the hold. Angle was bloodied for the majority of the match as Lesnar gave all the beast could in his final chance to win the Heavyweight title on SmackDown, but Angle was able to counter a second F5 into the Ankle Lock and finally make Lesnar tap
Rock goes through his usual pre-match routine, responding to Cena's choice words earlier first, before sizing up the competition one by one and saying tonight The Brahma Bull is gonna break the record for the most smack ever layed down in a match, and it'll be on everyone: The freak, the laid back dude, Pinocchio, Vanilla Ice and adulterer, no one is safe from Rock Layin' The Smacketh Down!
WWE Championship Hype Video airs
Final interview is with none other than the WWE Champion Triple H. Triple H says after all the crap he's had to put up with this year, things are finally looking up for The Game now he's champion once again and free from the McMahon's sights. Triple H says he's proven how damn good he is this year and he'll show it again tonight
Edge def. Triple H, The Rock, Rob Van Dam, John Cena & Kane in a Six Pack Challenge to WIN the WWE Championship @ 42:38. Triple H's title defence was over as he was the first eliminated after SHANE MCMAHON, avenging his father's beating at Unforgiven, pounced on The Game as the ref was accidentally knocked over by Triple H as he tackled Edge to the ground as they fought on the outside. Shane levelled Triple H with a monitor before laying him out across the Spanish announce table. Shane then mounted the top turnbuckle and soared off, CONNECTING WITH A FLYING ELBOW DROP, SENDING TRIPLE H THROUGH THE SPANISH ANNOUNCERS TABLE! As the ref came to he noticed Triple H down and out on the outside and with The Game unable to answer the count, he was eliminated from the match and we were guaranteed a new champion tonight thanks to Shane O Mac. Kane and RVD were the next to go, and then the tension between Rock & Cena reached new heights as Cena snapped and attempted to cheap shot Rock with his steel chain, but The Rock caught him and hit him with the Rock Bottom! Rock and Edge went back and forth until Rock reversed an Irish Whip attempt and planted Edge with the People's Spinebuster! Rock then went to hit the People's Elbow, BUT CENA TRIPPED ROCK UP AS HE SPRUNG TO THE ROPES! Rock's eyes widened in fury and he told Cena to being his monkey ass to the ring, but Cena stalled long enough for Edge to recover and hit Rock from behind with the SPEAR! Edge pinned Rock and was crowned the new WWE Champion, FINALLY the Rated R Superstar had won the biggest prize in the business.
Order of Elimination:
Triple H via Countout @ 14:29
Kane via FU by John Cena @ 21:34
Rob Van Dam via Spear by Edge @ 28:47
John Cena via Rock Bottom by The Rock @ 37:16
The Rock via Spear by Edge @ 42:38

So yeah, that's pretty much everything for now. I am hoping to have RAW up by the weekend, I really am. I am NOT going away this time, I will stick with this one through thick and thin. Hopefully I won't be too rusty, but ya know, no promises. <3.
Re: Renegade Presents: WWE 2006 - The Return Of Sexehness
Very nice results posted here and nice layout on the roster. Even though I never commented on your 2003 BTB, I actually did read and enjoyed it so I'll look forward to you sticking with this BTB. Good luck...:)
Re: Renegade Presents: WWE 2006 - The Return Of Sexehness
Ye ya. Good to see you back Renegade, and especially with this thread. Looks good so far and you can bet I will be reading. Good luck.
Re: Renegade Presents: WWE 2006 - The Return Of Sexehness
Good to see you back with a thread. Survivor Series was full of elimination matches lol. The rosters are interesting. Good luck with it
Re: Renegade Presents: WWE 2006 - The Return Of Sexehness
Awwww, excellent to see you back, Reney, and even more excellent to see you back with the thread that made me mark for you in the first place. It's about time you started showing everyone in this place just how enjoyable your writing really is.
Survivor Series results look tip top; especially with Monty 'OWNS' Brown screwing The Undertaker in the Buried Alive Match. WrestleMania build anyone? Is The Aplha Male still using The Coach as a manager? If so, AWESOME. Bad ass Bill Goldberg's roll should also be fun, and I doubt it will be long before he and Angle cross paths.
I marked for Kennedy's ownage in his tag match, as I felt sure you'd job him out just to ignore his hordes of BTB fans *cough* me & Mac *cough*.
Cena costing Rock the WWE Title keeps that lined up for 'Mania, and Edge as champ should be, as always, ace.
Anyway, I think I've rambled enough. I'm actually quite surprised how much of this thread has just instantly come back to me. Must have been good eh?
No more disappearing.
Rock it hard :)
Re: Renegade Presents: WWE 2006 - The Return Of Sexehness
WHAT~!? You fucking keep slime like Goldberg and characters that you cannot make as epic as me (Sting), but you release our BOYS~?! You released X-Pac and the Outlaws!? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!?
Seriously, I'm not reading anymore. And you can't sit on my face tonight either. Totally sleeping on the couch.
Re: Renegade Presents: WWE 2006 - The Return Of Sexehness
I'm just shocked he released guys from the Attitude Era.
Good luck though Porchey.
Re: Renegade Presents: WWE 2006 - The Return Of Sexehness
:sex... bout time you came back mo fo.
I wonder what feud you could be talking about that I loved ... hmmm....
... Monty Brown = OWNAGE.
I'll just make a few random comments;
- This must mark the first non drug related time off for Jeff Hardy. Realism plz. Just have him caught with a needle in his arm. :p
- Glad to see the return of the Johnnies :agree: ... one of my favourite teams in BTB.
- Surprised you had Kennedy go over - not that I find that disappointing, I was just expecting you to job him out.
- Cena / Rock feud oughta own, and should be golden when it comes down to mic work, as I expect Cena to be at his edgy best.
- And once again, Monty Brown owns. I guess taking out The Undertaker constitutes into being taken seriously ... very seriously.
Dont disappear. :( Pot. Kettle. Black
Re: Renegade Presents: WWE 2006 - The Return Of Sexehness
You're back. Good girl. :p
First of all, liking the faces, dancing or the 'up yours' sign? Liking the results too, but I'm sure a Roll up would've suited Kennedy's win here rather than the Inside Cradle, he'd have to hit Matt unexpectedly rather than facing eachother. Rosters are okay, not sure about Cryme Time being that tag champs, were they the champs in real WWE too at this point? Not sure, but I reckon it's alright, with an experienced booker / Hall of Famer putting it together, it should be good, well it fucking best be. :D I joke.
Haven't actually read your work before, but this sounds good and I'll try (can't promise) a couple of reviews, and I'm sure they'll be 98% plus points, good luck mate.
Re: Renegade Presents: WWE 2006 - The Return Of Sexehness
Sweet, I haven't seen you book before so I will be in for a treat. Good luck.

The use of Ethanol (E-10) fuel versus non-ethanol fuel has become a concern with a lot of boaters these days, particularly if you have an older Yamaha outboard motor like the 115 h.p. carbureted Yamaha outboard I have on my 18 Hewes Bonefisher in the Bahamas. The main concerns with fuel containing Ethanol is that they tend to attract moisture, dissolve hoses and fiberglass gas tanks and also that Ethanol (E-10) is not as efficient as Ethanol free gasoline.
It's been recently proven that non-ethanol fuel gets better gas mileage than Ethanol (E-10) fuel. An outboard burning 93 octane Ethanol (E-10) fuel has less combustion, and thus less horsepower than a non-ethanol 90 octane fuel. That means the non-ethanol fuel is going to give you better gas mileage, less problems and better performance between oil changes.
And speaking of oil changes, if you live in the southern region of the country—the hotter states—one of the things that Yamaha has recommended for four stroke outboard owners is going to a 20W/40 four stroke oil in their motor over the 10W/30 oil. The higher viscosity of the 20W/40 allows the engine to run cooler in those hotter regions of the United States.
So if you live in South Texas, Southern California, Baja, Southern Louisiana and Florida, you might want to remember that the 20W/40 oil is going to give you cooler engine temperatures when operating the outboard and also last longer than the 10W/40 oil. Since oil is essential to engine lubrication, you'll also want to pay attention to the suggested oil change maintenance for your outboard and have it changed on time.
But back to Ethanol (E-10) versus non-ethanol fuel. Not everyone has the option of running non-ethanol fuel. In a lot of areas the only place you can find non-ethanol fuel is at marinas, so the person that trailers their boat is more likely to get their gas at a station that sells Ethanol (E-10) fuel.
If that's your situation, a good option is to buy the Yamaha Fuel Stabilizer and Conditioner Plus to add to your fuel tank. This product helps prevent fuel oxidation and phase separation problems associated with Ethanol (E-10) based fuels while preventing many of the corrosive properties. Adding Yamaha Fuel Stabilizer and Conditioner Plus to your fuel will allow you to store your boat or not use it for up to a year, without the fuel gumming up or forming varnish normally associated with fuel that has sat for long periods of time.
At the same time, adding Yamaha Ring Free Plus to your fuel system will help keep the internal parts of your engine clean. The Ring Free Plus cleans the internal parts of the fuel system and eliminates carbon build-up while protecting them from future damage.
Lastly, one of the most important components of your fuel system should be the water separator, which filters out the impurities like water or the debris and corrosion that gets loosened in the system by Ethanol (E-10) fuels. Yamaha recommends using a 10 micron water separating fuel filter with Ethanol (E-10) based fuels.
I recently found out how well that Yamaha 10 micron water separating fuel filter worked while in the Bahamas. My outboard was running sluggish and stalling. I replaced the Yamaha 10 micron water separating fuel filter and immediately the engine was running like a top again. It's amazing how one little filter can prevent a lot of problems with your outboard motor.
One last thing you might want to look at is using the Yamashield Rust and Corrosion Protection Waterproof Lubricant to spray the exposed parts of your outboard motor that are under the cowling. You want to hook the outboard up to a hose first and run it four or five minutes to get the engine block warm, then spray it down. When the engine is warm, the spray will adhere to it better.
The nice thing about this spray is that it cleans, lubricates and protects all the parts that could become exposed to the elements through normal use. If you remove the cowling and see some dirt, corrosion or salt you might want to lightly rise it off and then let it dry. You can use a paint brush to remove any salt deposits. Then let it air dry and apply the Yamashield and you're ready to go.
You don't hear a lot about these protective and maintenance products, but they really do improve the life of your outboard motor and help limit the repairs you see over the years. It only takes a few minutes to utilize these products, and the end result can be hours of saved time, better performance and longevity from your outboard motor.

Sunday epitomized this plan, as some pitchers worked a scripted number of pitches. Others entered for specific matchups and shorter stints. Cohen actually cut the day down by a couple of innings too as scheduled pitcher Trevor Fitts was down with a bad case of flu, rather than throwing a couple of MSU moundsmen off their schedule.
Specifically, returning starter Kendall Graveman and sophomore candidate Brandon Woodruff. Both are coming off 2012 health issues and being worked in more gradually, though Cohen is confident each is back on '13 track. In fact they are now booked to go against each other Tuesday, the next scrimmage date for the Dogs.
Individual statistics and game notes will be provided in an accompanying article by Gene Swindoll. Following are Cohen's comments at the end of Sunday's scrimmage.
Coach John Cohen: "At this stage you always feel like you've got a long way to go. There are so many things you have to cover in a short amount of time. And I think the fact we had a really good fall helps us in that a little bit."
"I think physically we're in the best condition since I've been here and that really helps in a lot of ways. It helps in our running times, it helps in the way our arms are turning-around on the mound. And it helps a little bit defensively too. So I like that part. But I'm really glad we still have some time to get through some stuff."
Did anything really jump out this first weekend, that looked sharp? "Yeah, I'm really pleased with Ross Mitchell. We felt like he came in there and sank it pretty good today. Ben Bracewell has put together two really good outings in a row, he's been 92 (mph) and 93 on Friday in bad weather conditions. And today he came out and threw the ball really well. So if we can get two outings out of Ben every weekend, with his very best stuff, that's gonna be something we didn't have a year ago."
Are the batters a little more selective than a year ago at this time? "Yeah. I think we're going to have a better offensive club. I think we have some more options and we're going to be able to go a little more left/right versus in some situations, especially late in the game."
It looked like a lot of two-out, two-strike approaches today, with hitting up the middle, and the hit-and-runs? "You know, because (Trevor) Fitts is really sick, he got the flu yesterday, we had to really shorten this game. That subtracted three innings from the game so we only ended up playing a four-inning game. It was like playing in the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth inning of a ball game. So there were a lot of good bunting, situational hitting, hit-and-run stuff, short game stuff."
Did we hear Demarcus Henderson ran a 3.85 to first base? "Yeah, he just ran a 3.85. And he's really been running to the ball well in the outfield. So we're pleased with that as well."
Is there any update on Kendall Graveman and Brandon Woodruff? "Those guys are going to pitch on Tuesday. We wanted to give them an extra day. Kendall is so far ahead of schedule, his last couple of pens have been just outstanding. I don't know if I've ever seen him throw the ball the way I have the last two outings. So that's exciting for us because he's certainly a leader and somebody who has been through some SEC wars."
"Brandon is doing OK, he's got a little bit of a sore elbow going. But he long-tossed up to 250 feet the other day and he felt good."
You got to work a whole lot of defensive and pitching combinations in just three scrimmages? "You know, we really have a lot of guys who are settling in. And we're trying to make decisions as to whether it's going to be second base or third base. And I think having really healthy Trey Porter is going to be important to us down the line as well. But we still feel like there's a lot of competition in those two spots, at third base and second base. And we have to come to some fruition, but right now there's great competition there."
Wes Rea physically looks different and at the plate too? "I think he's got a different approach. And he's just got to relax and let the game come to him a little bit, and be a guy in the middle of the order who can do some damage for us."
He, Porter, Cox, Holder, many guys look in better condition? "Yeah, those guys have all lost weight. Holder looks so much better, I think he's lost 15 or 20 pounds as well. Our strength and conditioning coach, Brian Neal, has done an amazing job with those guys. And he's doing about six different workouts with our players. He's got a speed group, he's got a power group, he's got a reliever group, a starter group, a middle group. I mean he's just done a great job and our kids have bought into making their bodies better."
What is the plan for this week? "We're going to intrasquad Tuesday, I don't know if we can get five or six innings out of that. Then we'll try to go right back to Friday-Saturday-Sunday. Tomorrow will be off and we will practice Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday; and then intrasquad Friday-Saturday-Sunday."
Have the newcomers acclimated to the point you'd like? "Yeah. I think that was a big at-bat for Jacob Robson late in the game, he's somebody that can just fly and he's facing one of the best closers in our league. He doesn't score the runner but he finds a way to get the barrel on the baseball. I think he's going to be a factor for us."
"Brett Pirtle is really versatile, he can play second or third base. He's put together some nice at-bats and is a very good defender as well, he doesn't panic. Junior college baseball in Texas is very high-caliber baseball and I think he is somebody who is going to contribute to this club as well. (Kyle) Hann is a very good player. We're putting him in some positions he's never played; he's never played third base, been more of a shortstop but I think he is going to end up being a very good player as well."

3 Dead After Church Van Crashes on I-10
DEFUNIAK SPRINGS, Fla. (AP) - Two children and a woman are dead following the crash of the church van they were riding in.
The Northwest Florida Daily News reports the driver lost control of the van Saturday morning after a rear tire blew out. At least 10 people were on the van, which was heading to Tallahassee on Interstate 10.
The newspaper reports 8-year-old Maliya Chrishon, 11-year-old Micah Goldsmith and 58-year-old Patricia Baker died in the crash. They were on board the van from Gospel of the Kingdom Church in DeFuniak Springs.
Services at the Panhandle church were called off Sunday as most of the small congregation visited the injured passengers in hospitals.
The newspaper reports Goldsmith's mother, grandmother and baby sister were also in the van. Her mother is in critical condition.

Beacon and Bridge Gas Station double charged me.
Just thought I might spread the word about this, because it is VERY fucked up that they were even able to do this.
The other day I noticed money missing out of my account. I look though my statements, and seen that while I was at work on 3/12, I had $31.75 charge from Beacon and Bridge. As soon as I noticed it went to the only one of their locations I have EVER been to, and asked for the manager/owner. She was there, and I told her what happened. She told me sometimes charges don't go through right away, and that they may have finally just taken the charge out.
Come to find out, the original charge of $31.75 was on February 20th, and I had my statements for the last three months showing that on the 20th, the 31.75 WAS taken from my account. It was obvious that it would be, since I had charged it IN the store, with debit.
The local central office or whatever you might call it, called me today saying my money would be refunded for the second charge. Thats not enough in this case. There is no way in HELL they should be able to just charge my account any time they want. What else should I do here?

According to the latest manufacturing data on China, the Chinese economy actually recovered slightly from last month, thanks to a renewed burst of bank lending and a directive from the top to fast track projects and 'build stuff'. But the devil is in the detail for China. The index reading is a composite number, meaning it's derived from a bunch of sub-indices. One of those is employment. And while the press release doesn't give the actual reading, it does say 'employment down at sharpest rate in 40 months.'
As we've been saying for some time, Chinese authorities try to engineer economic growth with the aim of achieving full employment and social stability. The Chinese ruling class have their snouts so deeply in the trough that maintaining a 'harmonious society' is their over-riding aim. They don't want their countrymen to become unemployed, restless and inquisitive as to how the 1% live.
In order to keep the dream alive, China looks like abandoning its efforts to try and rebalance its economy. Already you're hearing grandiose announcements about big infrastructure spending packages from cities like Changsha and Guizhou.
And as Ambrose Evans-Pritchard writes in the UK's Daily Telegraph:
'The Politburo has clearly decided to protect jobs whatever the other risks, steering the yuan down 1.3pc against the dollar this year to protect the wafer-thin margins of exporters.
'Nomura said Beijing is preparing a 17pc VAT rebate on exports by Chinese steelmakers to divert excess output abroad, exporting China's "over-capacity crisis" to the rest of the world.
'Albert Edwards, for Societe Generale, said this echoes the Asian crisis in the late 1990s when the region flooded the West with goods, transmitting a deflationary impulse through the global system. This time the Asian bloc is a bigger animal, and the West is more fragile.
'"The harder the landing in China, the more goods they are going to dump on us. It is political dynamite in the run-up to a US election," he said.'
As the global economy cools, political tensions will begin to boil. Against all economic common sense, China will continue to produce goods for a market that doesn't exist. It will then dump those goods on other markets, forcing retaliation.
China's trying to maintain some semblance of economic control. But we're running on the theory that control of post credit-bubble economies is an almost impossible task. Keep in mind we're still in the early stages of China's economic adjustment. This will take years to play out.
In a worrying development for the Middle Kingdom, balance of payments data for the second quarter, released yesterday, indicate that China is beginning to suffer from capital outflow. The data indicates that for the first time since 1998, the balance of payments was in deficit.
For many years, the standard for China's economy was to run a balance of payments surplus. That is, a trade surplus plus a financial and capital account surplus. To balance this inflow, you saw constantly increasing foreign exchange reserves. This was effectively just the trade and capital inflows sent back overseas in order to keep the yuan pegged to the US dollar at a competitive rate.
But in the first quarter of 2012, capital and financial outflows of US$71.4 billion were greater than the current account surplus of US$59.7 billion. This necessitated an $11.7 billion contraction in China's foreign exchange reserves.
This is not a big deal…yet. An $11.7 billion contraction in a US$3.2 trillion pile of reserves is nothing to get too worried about. But if it's the start of a larger trend, it will be.
You see, China's (until recently) constantly growing foreign exchange reserves were the source of its domestic liquidity. The burgeoning pile of reserves provided the fuel for China's extraordinary rise in nominal GDP growth over the past decade (you know, the constant 9-10% growth rate everyone grew accustomed to)
Now that the pile is no longer growing, now that it's starting to contract, China's economy has an additional challenge to controlling its slowdown and bolstering growth.
The real risk is if capital flight starts to pick up from here. That shouldn't be too much of a problem in a country that has a closed capital account (meaning China controls inflows and outflows). But as FT Alphavillve reports, China watcher Victor Shih of Northwestern University says that US$1 trillion dollars represents less than 30% of the wealth of China's top 1%.
If China's wealthy panic and look to move a third of their wealth out of the country (which they could probably do, as the rules don't apply to them) then China's banking system and economy would be in real trouble.
It's a classic positive feedback loop. Bad news on the economic front causes capital flight, which restricts liquidity in a credit dependent economy. That causes more economic weakness, which causes more capital flight.
As we said, we're nowhere near that situation at the moment. It's an extreme outcome. But in these times, extreme outcomes are the norm. It's something to keep in mind.

Washington D.C. will have a new hotel when the Capella Washington D.C., Georgetown opens its doors this weekend (March 22) in the hip Georgetown neighborhood of the nation's capital. With just 49 rooms, guests can check into the hotel and enjoy amenities like a rooftop pool and bar boasting D.C.-skyline views, plus a restaurant. There is also a dedicated fashion stylist who acts as a concierge (including arranging private after-hours shopping at labels like Christian Dior); she will even have garments and fashion accessories ready upon arrival. Each guest also gets a personal assistant to help arrange anything you'd like while in D.C. Wait, there's more: each guest can have up to five items of laundry pressed at no extra charge. And did we mention the free WiFi?
This is Capella Hotels and Resorts' first US property, while others are in Cabo San Lucas and Ixtapa, Mexico; Dusseldorf, Germany; and Singapore. In fact, the same interior designer at the Dusseldorf property (the Breidenbacher Hof), dreamed up the design scheme at The Capella Washington D.C., Georgetown. Capella Hotels and Resorts' owner—Horst Schulze—is best known for his earlier venture as co-founder of Ritz-Carlton Hotels and Resorts.
Each room will have original modern art and Italian-marble flooring in the bathrooms (the perfect pairing to glass-enclosed rainforest showers and soaking tubs). In-room spa treatments can be arranged to help guests further relax during their stay. The hotel's 24-hour fitness center is on the rooftop, offering stellar views while working out. The Grill Room will offer guests (as well as locals) a new place to nosh for breakfast, lunch, and dinner whether inside or out on the patio overlooking the C & O Canal.
Swedish chef Jakob Esko, who formerly cooked at the Michelin-star Sihlhalde in Zurich, Ulriksdals Wärdshus in Sweden (famous for its spot in the Guinness Book of World Records for having the world's finest wine collection) and, most recently, Capella Singapore, plans to craft dishes like steak tartare prepared tableside and rockfish grilled on an alder-wood plank with a slow-cooked ginger glaze and orange. Also at The Grill Room: a Champagne cart featuring between eight and 10 labels (including Taittinger's private collection) at any given time. Breakfast means squeezed-to-order juices and a full food menu. At the adjacent Rye Bar, rare rye whiskey is the focus paired with the hotel's "hard harvested ice program" where ice chips are cut from a block and hand-pressed into spheres.

There is no doubt that 2011 was an awesome year for our girl B*, Bonang Matheba and it seems like 2012 is already going in the same direction. If you have not bought the latest issue of Glamour Magazine then and you're a fan of Bonang, then you better hurry and get yourself a copy. Bonang is going to be part of the Glamour Magazine family for the next few months and she will occupy a DPS where she will be sharing her style tips, trends, the things she loves and the things she hates. I am a fan of Bonang and enjoyed her piece, I can't wait to see more.
Bonang has also released her PR pictures for 2012, I love the one where she's wearing the rusty gold head-piece, other than that I think she could have done better with the other pics, they just seem to be missing our B's usual touch and spark.

Osoyoos man believed to be drowned near Revelstoke
Revelstoke RCMP now believes that two men missing from a fishing trip last Monday have drowned, including Allen Healy, 60, of Osoyoos.
The other man is Mike Murphy, 55, from Mission.
The two men were working on the Mica Dam, about 135 kilometres from Revelstoke and were fishing from a 12-foot aluminum boat on Kinbasket Lake.
They did not return when they were expected to on Monday, July 7 and the matter was reported to Revelstoke RCMP at 11:45 p.m. that night.
Staff Sgt. Kurt Grabinsky of Revelstoke RCMP said the search continues, but it is being treated as a recovery operation.
"We're almost into 90 hours since they were last seen," said Grabinsky on Friday. "They were on the water. The boat is missing. The two gentlemen are missing. There have been some things like a boat seat has washed ashore, a cooler bag and some sandals, which leads us all to believe that the gentlemen are in the water."
The items have been confirmed to belong to the boat and the men, Grabinsky said.
Family members were continuing to search the area for the two men.
Members of Murphy's family were at the scene searching on their own accord, he added.
"The RCMP continues to be actively searching by boat on the water only and our underwater recovery team leader is in the area assessing the situation for a possible dive as well as a private search and recovery team with a side scan sonar device and a remote operation vehicle are present."
Revelstoke RCMP said Friday they have searched the area by foot, boat and helicopter along with B.C. Hydro and Western Pacific Enterprises employees.
Over 150 square kilometres of water and shoreline have been searched without any sign of the boat or the men.
Grabinksy said the RCMP, SAR and BC Hydro had boats on the lake when the search began and that an RCMP helicopter was also aiding with the search.
The men left the Mica boat ramp to go fishing last Monday around 6:30 p.m.
Concern was raised when their truck was seen parked at the boat ramp at nightfall.
When they weren't in their rooms at night, the RCMP was notified and a search was initiated.
"The information we have is the boat proceeded almost west from that boat launch and hasn't been seen since," said Grabinsky. "We have a rough direction but no specific location. It's a big huge, reservoir."
Police considered bringing in a dive team, but due to the depth of the water, vastness and lack of a confirmed location, had to reconsider, said Grabinsky.
Police also considered bringing in a specialized search team like the one used to search for the drowned teenagers on Slocan Lake in May.
The Kinbasket Reservoir is more than 200 metres deep near the Mica Dam. It stretches from Mica, 150 kilometres north of Revelstoke, almost to Valemount in the north and also extends south towards Golden.

NBA — 23 May 2013
The was a great game to start this series off with and you should expect each game to be just as great. Indiana's Paul George played a wonderful game and hit a crazy 3-pointer to send the game into OT.
For a while in the OT, it looked like the Pacers were going to pull this one out. Especially since LeBron was not being aggressive on offense for most of the session. Then, Frank Vogel outcoached himself and removed Roy Hibbert from the game for the final two Miami possessions. Unfortunately for Indiana, this was the last possession. The best part about this is that LeBron had zero reaction to it. Miami won 103-102.

Women's Track & Field Adds Nine For 2012 Season
Oct. 24, 2011
CINCINNATI - The University of Cincinnati women's track and field team added nine signees that will enroll at UC this fall and participate in the 2012 season.
Included in the class is a pair of State Champions as well as three state-runner ups, a pair of top-rated transfer student-athletes and athletes who have competed at the international level.
The class is compised of: multi-eventer Dominique Best (Allentown, Pa./Allen/La Salle), thrower Mekayla Breland (St. Marys, Ohio/St. Marys), pole vaulter/middle distance runner Emily Clay (Normal, Ind./University), hurdler Danheisha Harding (Dayton, Ohio/Chaminade Julienne/Eastern Kentucky), sprinter Jalisa Jarrett (Pickerington, Ohio./Central), thrower Emelie Larrson (Hisings Backa, Sweeden/Polhemsgymnasiet), jumper Taylor Rosenhagen (Fort Thomas, Ky./Highlands), hurdler Je'Rica Sanders (Mentor, Ohio/Lake Catholic) and sprinter Shanice Smith (North Canton, Ohio/Hoover).
Women's Head Coach Susan Seton is excited about the addition of the nine newcomers and what they bring to the table.
"Our incoming class is one of the largest in team history and we look to our newcomers to have an immediate impact in all three sports this season," Seton said. "The addition of State Champions Mekayla Breland and Je'Rica Sanders as well as three state meet runner-up finishers in Emily Clay, Taylor Rosenhagen and Shanice Smith will give our team a big boost.
"We are also excited to add transfer students Dominique Best and Danheisha Harding, who each bring experience as colligate conference champions to the team. Swedish javelin specialist Emelie Larsson will add international competition experience to our squad and her current PR of 169-2 will rank her amongst the top throwers in the BIG EAST Conference and NCAA."
Best, a sophomore transfer from La Salle University, was the 2011 Atlantic 10 Conference Outdoor Heptathlon Champion. She tallied a seven-event total of 4,367 points to earn the win.

text: This is a favorite Champagne house of mine, although it's not easy to find. Paillard keeps dosage to a bare minimum to produce more natural "terroir-driven" wines, and I like the style very much. Everything is more finely-tuned, elegant and graceful. The wine opens up with lemon and pear, almond, wheat and sourdough breadyness. There is a little sea-spray and wet rock mineral. The bubbles are rich, frothy and seductive, not pin-point and precise, but lively enough for a lengthy, mouthwatering finish. The other upside to these wines is that there is a disgorgement date printed on the back. There's nothing worse than ten year-old NV Champagne. 12% vol. $49
