Re: WWE 2005: Raising the Bar.
Just to note something. My matches are very short at the minute as i'm building towards Vengeance and since the last PPV i've been a bit burnt out in terms of match writing so apologies for anyone expecting long weekly matches. Anyways, enjoy.
WWE Monday Night Raw- 30/5/05- Long Island
We open with no video package this week, just the usual opening and pyro
Jim Ross:
We welcome you ladies and gentleman to Monday Night Raw! Im Jim Ross alongside Jonathan Coachman and Coach, what a night we have here tonight in Long Island!!
The Coach
: Damn straight baby boy. Tonight The Game is in action as our next World champion goes toe to toe with Shelton Benjamin!! Time for Triple H to settle a score tonight J.R.
Jim Ross
: A slobber knocker for sure and what about this one? The return of the Highlight Reel here tonight! Chris Jerichos guest Coach? None other than
The Coach
J.R simply shakes his head before..
Time to play the Game
Out steps Triple H in his wrestling gear but a t-shirt on to a ton of heat after what went down last Monday night and his heinous assault on Batista
Jim Ross
: Well last week we saw a simply devastating, brutal, sickening assault from this man, Triple H. The Game decimated Batista and due to that attack, the World Heavyweight champion will not be here tonight in Long Island.
The Coach
: Good J.R. What do we even need Batista around here for anyway? I mean Triple H is the real World champ and at Vengeance hes gonna prove it when he brings the World title home baby.
Jim Ross
: We need Batista a whole hell of a lot more than we need this sick S.O.B Coach. What he did last week was not right, it was not humane and this show needs a World champion and it damn sure isnt Triple H.
The Coach
Trips takes a mic as a You Suck chant begins to fill the arena
Triple H
: Incase ya havent heard the news, Id be more than happy to fill ya in. Dave Batista will sadly not be here tonight.
Chorus of boos for Trips announcing that
Triple H
: And just incase anybody missed it last week, the reason why Batista wont be here tonight and the reason why Batista might not even make it to Vengeance is because of this.
Trips proceeds to point up at the titantron where we see a video from last weeks main event where Batista had just pinned Muhammad Hassan before being attacked from behind by Triple H who then proceeded to destory Batista with vicious sledgehammer shot after sledgehammer shot, leaving the World champion a bloody mess.
Theres a ton of heat again as the camera cuts back to a smiling Triple H
Triple H
: Beautiful right? See Batistas had that coming for a long time and let me tell ya, I cant even begin to describe the amount of pleasure it gave me seein him squirm, seein him scramble and seein him BLEED last week.
Heat once more
Triple H
: What you saw just there will go down as a defining moment when I win back the World Heavyweight title. Because last week marked the moment where Batista finally got the message. Batista may have beaten me at Wrestlemania but that match, that night, it was just one battle and this whole deal between me and Batista, this is a hell of a lot more than just one battle. This is an all out WAR!
Small pop there
Triple H
: And when a war takes place, in order to win that war youve gotta have the know how, youve gotta have the wherewithal, youve gotta have the experience to go into the war zone and get the job done. Doesnt matter how ugly it is, doesnt matter how screwy it is, you go to war, you better pray to god you come out victorious.
Trips pauses before continuing
Triple H
: So heres the thing. Dave Batista has never entered a war zone before. He doesnt know what that environment is like, he doesnt know how to finish off what hes started.
Trips smirks as the crowd give some heat to the Game
Triple H
: When Dave was a part of Evolution he saw exactly what Im talking about right now. See I may not have started all the wars Ive been in over the years and believe me theres been plenty of em. But no matter who started the war, no matter how hard, how brutal, how rough things got inside this ring for me, the end result was always the same, I won the war and Batista saw it each and every time.
Heat for Trips here
Triple H
: He doesnt have a single god damn clue what its like when somebody is hell bent on takin whats yours. When somebody is so driven that it eats them alive if they cant get to it. And since Wrestlemania I havent been able to get to what I want, I havent been able to get to the World Heavyweight championship. Last week, it struck Batista, it struck him that the war has indeed begun and I know Dave, I know him better than anyone.
A few BA-TIS-TA chants have started which cut the Game off
Triple H
: I know him better than anyone and I know how he thinks, I know what goes on inside that thick skull o his and believe me, its got him scared outta his boots right about now. See when he saw me win battle after battle, war after war, he always came to me, hed pull me aside and hed say to me, Hunter, man, that was just, wow, youre unstoppable, nobody can touch you, you always find a way dont you?
Trips pauses once more
Triple H
: And the answer to that is you bet your ass I do.
Heat for Trips there
Triple H
: I did back in Evolution and I still do to this very day. Which is why the balance of power, it shifted last week. Thats why the tide has turned and thats exactly why Batista isnt here tonight.
Trips looks around the crowd who are now quiet, confused perhaps
Triple H
: You dont get it? Its simple. Batistas not here tonight, not only because I beat the living crap outta him last week but the other factor you arent takin into account is because Batistas mind is runnin crazy again right about now. Its runnin crazy with the painful thought, the painful thought that.. he knows.
Trips is looking fired up now
Triple H
: He knows that time has come when THE GAME, THE CEREBRAL ASSASSIN proves EXACTLY why he is THAT DAMN GOOD!
Small pop again for the intensity but general heat for The Game
Triple H
: Dave can run, but he cant hide and when the time comes, July 26th, Vengeance when that war zone opens and Batista takes that first step inside and he sees his enemy standin right there opposite him.
Trips points out the two men on either side
Triple H
: When that moment comes, the questions are gonna come runnin right back into Batistas head and the answer is gonna be exactly the same as it was back in Evolution Dave. I always ALWAYS find a way.
The Game then hits and Triple H leaves looking as intense and fired up as ever
Jim Ross
: The intensity is clear for all to see Coach. Triple H wants that World Heavyweight title and it appears as though he is going to stop at nothing to get what he wants.
The Coach
: The passion, the emotion J.R, you could feel that electricity here tonight from Triple H and hes right baby boy, he ALWAYS finds a way. Batista doesnt stand a chance come Vengeance!
Were Comin Down
Out come the World Tag Team champions ready for action, The Dudley Boyz to a decent reception
Jim Ross
: All set for some tag team action now here tonight folks. The Dudleyz have found out in recent weeks that more than one team are after their tag team gold and tonight they take on one of those very teams, the Basham Brothers.
The Coach
: Danny and Doug Basham are incredibly underrated around here J.R. These two guys are a SERIOUS threat to the Dudley Boyz. They get the job done inside the squared circle and tonight I wouldnt be at all surprised to see these guys the Dudleyz get taught a lesson by a REAL tag team.
The Bashams then make their way down to the ring to barely any reception as we get set for this non title match. Anybody know their theme music by the way?
Match One: Tag Team Match
The Dudley Boyz vs. The Basham Brothers
The match saw the Bashams really come close early on to shocking the tag team champions as Danny Basham took it to D-Von, coming close with a couple of near falls. A shift in momentum soon came however ad Bubba Ray entered the match and used all his size and power to get on top of things for the Dudleyz.
The finish of the match came when chaos broke out and both Bashams entered the ring looking to thwart the efforts of Bubba however D-Von soon came to the aid of Bubba. With all four men in the ring, the referee seemed to lose focus of what was going down as all four men traded blows in the middle of the ring. The match was then completely blown out as not for the first time in recent weeks there was interference from two of the members of the Arabian Entity, Sonjay Dutt and Daivari.
Dutt and Daivari took out the Dudleyz to begin with, seeming to team up with the Basham Brothers as the referee called for the bell ending this contest. Having disposed of the Dudleyz to big heat, Dutt and Daivari didnt stop there though and took down Doug and Danny Basham for good measure with double dropkicks, sending the duo over the ropes
Winners: No contest
Jim Ross
: Yet AGAIN this duo of Daivari and Dutt have ruined tag team action here tonight and they arent gonna stop until they get their hands on the Tag Team titles.
The Coach
: After that dominance there J.R, they may just get it. For two small guys J.R they are so damn talented and when, not if J.R, WHEN these guys get a title opportunity theyre gonna take it.
We cut backstage and join Josh Matthews who is standing by with The Worlds Greatest Tag Team, Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas
Josh Matthews
: Shelton, tonight you go one on one with a man who you seem to have hads number in the past, Triple H. Your confidence must be sky high going into tonight?
Shelton Benjamin
: Im always confident Josh. No matter who my opponent is, I know that inside that ring Im capable of things no other superstar in the company is capable of. So it doesnt phase me having to face a guy like Triple H tonight. Maybe thats why Ive beaten him before.. and then beat him again.. aaaand then beat him again!
Pop from the fans as Shelton and Charlie smile
Shelton Benjamin
: But I know how fired up Triple H is tonight, I know hes gonna be out to not only send a message to me but to send a message to Batista. Triple H isnt a ten time World champion for nothing Josh. I know tonights gonna be a hell of a test for me, but Im ready. See Triple H may wanna send a message tonight but I got a message of my own to send and that message is directed to Muhammad Hassan.
Heat from the crowd for Hassans name
Shelton Benjamin
: My message is loud and clear. Come Vengeance I dont care what the odds are, I dont care what Eric Bischoff has thrown in my way. Im gonna walk into Las Vegas and I am going to take back MY Intercontinental title.
Pop from the crowd
Charlie Haas
: And if Muhammad Hassan thinks that his little buddies are gonna save him at Vengeance, he better think twice. Now I may not be in Sheltons corner come Vengeance but that dont mean a damn thing. See The Great Khali may be over seven feet tall but that freak can just about walk, let alone catch Shelton when hes flyin around the ring at the speed of light.
Pop again for Haas this time
Charlie Haas
: This guy next to me is one of a kind Josh and tonight against Triple H and at Vengeance against Hassan and Khali, Sheltons gonna show just how good he really is.
Shelton Benjamin
: You heard the man Josh. Time to play the Game? Well the Game better be ready cos there aint no stopping Shelton Benjamin.
The duo head off to a good response from the fans.
The camera then cut backstage and to the corridor where we see Trish Stratus laid out cold!! Trish has several referees, trainers and medics surrounding her as they call for an ambulance with Trish completely motionless while the camera then pans and sees Victoria standing a little bit away from the scene smiling at whats going down here, clearly her work as we head back ringside
Jim Ross
: Well disturbing circumstances there folks. Trish Stratus looked out cold, we will alert you of any update on the condition of Trish throughout the night.
The Coach
: Certainly a sad situation right there J.R and our thoughts go out to Trish for sure. We can only hope somebody finds out who did this.
Jim Ross
: The hell do you mean who did this Coach? Its clear as day who did this. That damn demon Victoria! You saw the smirk on her face for christ sakes.
The Coach
: Dont go pointing fingers like that J.R. Victoria mayve been happy but wouldnt you be if your rival got laid out by somebody? I know I would, sadly nobodys taken you out yet though. The timell come baby boy.
Jim Ross:
Oh for the love of God.
Born Naughty
Out steps William Regal suited and booted as he brings out his protégé with him, Mark Jindrak who is set for action
Jim Ross
: Well last week saw these two men make a huge impact when they ambushed the Big Show, brutally attacking the Worlds Largest Athlete. Lets take a look back.
We go to a replay of the attack from last week with Show saying hes lost his motivation and there were no challenges left for him before Regal interrupts and introduces Jindrak who attacks Show from behind and lays him out with a steel chair.
The Coach
: It was a beautiful moment J.R. Big Show thought he could have his little spotlight, his time to pander to these idiot fans about how hes so great theres nobody left to challenge him then BAM! William Regal and Mark Jindrak come and give Big Show what he deserves Now wheres the challenge Show? Huh? Wheres the challenge?
Jim Ross
: Do you ever give it a rest Coach?
The Coach
: No I do not J.R! Big Show wanted a challenge, well he got one and theyre standin right there in that very ring. Wheres the Big Show J.R?
J.R. isnt even allowed to answer before Coach continues
The Coach
: Nowhere ,thats what I thought. Challenge laid down, Big Show backs down. Why arent I surprised?
J.R. just sighs before continuing
Jim Ross
: Well when we come back ladies and gentleman the future will be in action. Dont go anywhere!
Childs Play
We return and out comes Eugene to a decent response from the fans as Raws special superstar makes his way out, high fiving fans as Jindrak and Regal look on
Jim Ross
: Welcome back folks and this young man Eugene is in for a tough task here tonight, taking on as William Regal has dubbed him, The Future Mark Jindrak.
The Coach
: Eugene doesnt stand a chance J.R. This moron couldnt beat himself let alone a guy like Mark Jindrak. Im gonna enjoy this one.
Match Two: Singles Match
Mark Jindrak vs. Eugene
Eugene surprises Jindrak early on, taking it to the young superstar but is soon brought back down to earth as Jindrak gets on top of this one. The new protégé to William Regal looked mightily impressive as he unleashed his whole array of moves on a helpless Eugene. An impressive looking dropkick saw Jindrak score a near fall on the fan favourite but Eugene continued to hold on in there.
It was soon all over though as Regal egged on Jindrak to end things and he did just that as a brutal suplex looked to be the nail in the coffin of Eugene, however Jindrak refused to go for the cover and instead locked in an armbar, clearly the work of William Regal here, influencing Jindrak. Eugene tapped out in no time at all as Jindrak picks up a convincing win
Winner: Mark Jindrak(3:31)
The Coach
: How impressive was that J.R? He just wiped the FLOOR with Eugene!
Jim Ross
: Ill give credit where credits due and that was damn sure impressive from this kid Mark Jindrak and with the wily veteran William Regal in his corner, there is no doubting that Jindrak has got all the tools. I certainly be..
The Coach
: Shut up J.R. Mr.Regal wants to speak.
Regal does indeed have a mic as the crowd gives heat to him and his protégé
William Regal
: Now THAT was impressive, am I right?
Regal opens his arms out and soaks in the heat to a broad smile
William Regal
: Theres a reason why Ive dubbed young Mark here the future of this company and that right there(pointing at a fallen Eugene) is my reasoning behind it. Sheer dominance, and as proved last week, not even the supposed most dominant superstars around here can live with what this man has to offer.
Heat for Regal there
William Regal
: The Big Show laid down a challenge last week when he said there was nothing left for him in the WWE. He put a target on his head and when he said that, myself and Mark here werent going to allow that to go amiss.
Regal pauses before continuing
William Regal
: And as you all saw we decided to teach that big oaf a lesson. We decided that it was time to bring the Big Show back down to earth and we brought him back down with a bang, make no mistake about it. Big Show I hope youre listening because Ive got news for you and youre not gonna like it.
Regal smiles then speaks once again
William Regal
: It gives me real pleasure to inform you and to inform all you people here tonight that Ive spoken with our general manager Eric Bischoff. And Eric has agreed to add another match to the card for Vengeance. Itll be the 500 pound giant the Big Show one on one with my protégé here, Mark Jindrak!
Small pop for that announcement
William Regal
: And at Vengeance were going to finish exactly what we started last week. The Big Show isnt going to walk out of the WWE like he seemed to think he was last week. Not on our watch, not a chance sunshine. The Big Show is going to be STRETCHERED out of the WWE.
Heat for Regal
William Regal
: Courtesy of THE FUTURE, MARK JINDRAK!!
Regal raises Jindraks hand as Born Naughty plays over the PA and the fans continue to boo the duo who leave the ring both beaming
Jim Ross
: Statement made here tonight from William Regal and Mark Jindrak. And at Vengeance we can now pencil it in Coach. Regals protégé will go one on one with the Big Show and I can assure ya that Big Show is gonna be gunnin for these two men. They better watch their backs from now until Vengeance.
The Coach
: Watch their backs? What for? These two guys together could be damn well unstoppable! If the Big Show cant stop em then nobody can J.R.
We then cut away to a video package for Vengeance.
WWE Vengeance: June 26th 2005; Las Vegas, Nevada; Thomas&Mack Center
We then cut backstage and join Eric Bischoff in his office with some paperwork before Shawn Michaels walks in to a blistering ovation
Eric Bischoff
: Well, well, look what we have here, the Heartbreak Kid. What can I do for ya Shawn?
Shawn Michaels
: Theres a whole heck of a lot ya can do for me Eric but first things first I was wonderin if ya could errr fill me in yet about whose teeth Im gonna be kicking down their throat at Vengeance?
Bischoff laughs
Shawn Michaels
: Somethin funny Eric? Did the Showstopper make ya laugh?
Michaels does a fake laugh before turning to a deadly serious face which gets a pop from the crowd.
Eric Bischoff
: Ya did Shawn, ya did. See your opponent at Vengeance is to be decided by ME. And you arent gonna find out who that opponent is until Vengeance itself.
Heat for Bisch
Eric Bischoff
: Cos Shawn if you say youre as good as ya are, you hold yourself in such high regard then it shouldnt matter who your opponent is. Big or small it doesnt matter to you, you dont need to prepare yourself because youre Shawn Michaels!
Bischoff smiles again as Michaels looks sternly at Bischoff
Eric Bischoff
: And Shawn Michaels is the best around isnt he? Shawn Michaels can beat ANYBODY in his path right? So Shawn you dont need to know before Vengeance who youre gonna be facing cos really and trult it doesnt matter does it?
Shawn Michaels
: Seems our General Managers got a spring his step tonight huh? Well guess what Eric, youre right. You are right. I will beat whoever you put in my path, believe me on that Eric. Im headin into Vengeance with a clear goal in my mind. And that goal is the World Heavyweight title.
Pop from the crowd
Eric Bischoff
: You may be heading into Vengeance with a goal in mind Shawn but that goal will never and I mean NEVER be accomplished as long as youre up against me. The only thing youre leaving Vengeance with is my bags in your hand pal, cos thats all youll be after this is over with, my bag carrier.
Michaels shakes his head as Bischoff beams again
Shawn Michaels
: I will be NOBODIES bag carrier Eric and ya better be careful, real careful. The way youre goin about your business, if you dont win this match at Vengeance then that means not only do I get my title shot, but that means you dont get to push the Heartbreak Kid around like you want to.
Michaels pokes Bischoff in the chest
Shawn Michaels
: Youre only thinking about one thing Eric and thats victory but youre forgettin the other side of the coin here and thats defeat. A little something youre quite the expert in arent ya? And if , no, WHEN you are defeated at Vengeance then Im gonna be damn sure to knock your head off your shoulders to celebrate.
Big pop again for HBK
Eric Bischoff
: Is that right Shawn? Well Im gonna give ya a chance to vent all your frustration, all that anger you seem to have inside of ya. How about it, tonight Shawn Michaels in action right here in Long Island tonight!
Pop from the fans at that announcement
Eric Bischoff
: Shawn Michaels one on one with the Intercontinental champion, Muhammad Hassan!
The fans pop again as Bischoff grins
Eric Bischoff
: And just so things run to plan Shawn, Hassan will have his fellow three Entity members at ringside and just incase you try and one up me? Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas will be banned from setting foot anywhere NEAR that ring.
Heat for the GM who smiles once more
Shawn Michaels
: Thats a wise move Eric. Cos if I werent getting my hands dirty tonight, then all that frustration you talk about, all that anger you talk about, I might just have been takin it out on you.
Michaels pats/almost knocks the stuffing out of Bischoffs back before leaving as Bischoff looks in discomfort
We return ringisde and the ring is now set up for the Highlight Reel!
Break the Walls Down
Out steps Y2J Chris Jericho to a big pop as Jericho gets set for the return of his talk show the Highlight Reel
Jim Ross
: Been a rough time recently for Y2J. Jericho has had his issues with Edge and at Vengeance those two men will go one on one to settle the score. Edge has been a thorn in Jerichos side right off the back of Wrestlemania, costing Jericho the World Heavyweight title and also the Intercontinental title.
The Coach
: Jericho had it comin J.R. The way he spoke about Edge is what started all of this. If Jericho woulda kept his mouth shut, he could be World champion right now.
Jericho takes a mic to some Y2J chants
Chris Jericho
: Jerichoholics it gives me great pleasure to welcome you all to the return of the Highlight Reeeel!
Pop for Jericho
Chris Jericho
: And tonight my guest is a man that Ive had my differences with in the past, a man Ive wanted to tear limb from limb and a man whos recently started to call himself this day and ages very own Ric Flair.
Heat there as the fans know who Jericho means
Chris Jericho
: So lets not waste any time in bringing him down here. Ladies and gentleman, Christian.
Just close your Eyes
Out steps Captain Charisma alongside Tomko to strong heat
The Coach
: There he is J.R! The man who at Vengeance is gonna put Ric Flair in his place! Captain Charisma baby!
Jim Ross
: Indeed in three weeks time Christian will take on Ric Flair in a match where Christian is gonna have to put up or shut up.
The Coach
: No J.R. Christian will put up and YOU will shut up. Christian is the modern day Ric Flair baby boy and at Vengeance hes provin it.
Christian takes a mic before looking for any of his fans in attendance
Chris Jericho
: Christian first things first lets ge
: First things first Chris, you better realise youre damn lucky Im a nice guy and let you have me on your show here tonight. If I was in charge around this joint, you would be MY guest on the real talk show around this place, THE PEEP SHOW!!
A few cheers in the crowd but mainly heat for Christian
: See when Eric Bischoff informed me Id be on the highlight reel, I wasnt a happy man. But Eric explained it to me, he said that I didnt really need the spotlight of being a host here tonight and that you on the other hand Chris? Youre in DESPERATE need of the spotlight right about now arent ya pal?
Jericho smirks
: Yeah thats right. Past couple weeks, heck the past couple months youve been getting your ass kicked by my good buddy Edge.
Heat for CC.
Christian: People are startin to talk Chris. People are startin to have their doubts about you. You couldnt get the job done for the World Heavyweight title at Backlash. You couldnt get the job done for the Intercontinental title a couple weeks back. What can ya get the job done at Chris?
Heat again here.
Christian: Ill tell you what and its the reason I came here tonight. Its why I decided to let you have your moment as host because this(Christian spreads his arms), THIS is what you can get the job done at isnt it Chris? The job of inviting the leader of a new era, the job of listening to what the modern day Ric Flair has to say, thats the job you can get done isnt it?
Christian wears a broad smile as Tomko nods and the fans boo some more
: I couldnt do that job. No, no, not a chance. I couldnt stand in this ring and interview somebody who completely outclasses me in every aspect of the job Im in, no I just couldnt. How dyou do it exactly man? I mean, come on, share the secret. Im dying to kn..
Christian is cut off by Jericho
Chris Jericho
: Would you please do everybody a favour in this arena and SHUT THE HELL UP!
BIG pop for Jericho
Chris Jericho
: On and on and on. Christian every single word coming from your monkey ass is total crap. A modern day Ric Flair? The leader of a new era? The only thing youre leadin is the Pride Parade with your lil buddy there Tomko.
A lot of laughs at that comment from Jericho
: Thats a good one Chris. How long you had that one building up for?
Chris Jericho
: Oh a little while now. And you wanna talk about uh..getting the job done?
Christian nods
Chris Jericho
: Well facts are buddy boy that if your old pal Edge hadnt stuck his nose in, youd be standing here lookin at the World Heavyweight champion right now.
Pop again for Y2J
: But Im not am I Chris? Im standin here lookin at a complete and utter LOSER.
Heat again for Captain Charisma
Chris Jericho
: And what does that make you Christian? What does that make you exactly? You wanna talk about me not getting the job done? When was the last time you got the job done huh? Lets look at the facts shall we? Chris Jericho, the first EEEEEVER Undisputed champion.
Pop for that mention
Chris Jericho
: Christian, the . Hold on a second, let me just think. I got it, Christian, the Oh wait thats right, you have NEVER done a damn thing to compare yourself to ME.
Pop again for Y2J
Chris Jericho
: Christian if ya cant even compare yourself to me, how in the world can you compare yourself to somebody like Ric Flair? Ric Flair is one of, if not the greatest professional wrestler of all time and yet YOU? You of all people are comparing yourself to him?
: Youre damn right I am Chris. See I may not hold as many championship reigns as Ric Flair, I may not hold the same accolades but thats because Ive been held down in this company for FAR TOO LONG!! Chris, guys like me and Edge have NEVER been given the credit we deserve. Despite goin out there and puttin our bodies on the line, revolutionising the WWE with the TLC match and yet STILL nobody has given me, nobody has given Edge a second look and youre one of those people Chris.
Boos for the CLB
: Which is why I chose Ric Flair. Youre right when you say Ric Flair is one of the greatest of all time. Theres no denying it, but this is 2005 Chris. Flairs time in the limelight is done and he is taking up not just my spotlight, hes takin yours as well.
Chris Jericho
: Hes not taking anything away from anyone. As long as Ric Flair can still step inside this ring and compete then he DESERVES the spotlight still.
Pop from the fans
: BUT HE CANT CHRIS! He just cant. I know, and it eats me up inside when people tell me Im wrong. I know that I am BETTER than Ric Flair. All I need is that one shot, that one night, that ONE OPPORTUNITY and at Vengeance I will finally get that chance.
Chris Jericho
: But are ya gonna take it? Are ya gonna grasp it with both hands? See Christian you talk an awful, awful good game. But when the time comes, when its time to step up and show the world what youve got, is it really there after all? Is it really inside of you? That so-called Ric Flair talent you possess?
Christian ponders what Jerichos saying
Chris Jericho
: And there it is people. For that split second right there Christian, you just answered my question. Theres doubt in your mind. Youve put all this pressure on yourself, youve hyped yourself up and now and at Vengeance if ya dont get it done, if ya dont live up to your own hype, its game over.
Christian puts his head down for a second as Jericho smiles
Chris Jericho:
No more leader of a new era, no more modern day Ric Flair. The only thing youll be thinking of is where your next match is even gonna come from.
Tomko tells Christian not to listen to him
: You know what Jericho, youre right. And believe me it hurts to say that but you are. See we arent all that different are we Chris?
Jericho says Yes we are away from the mic
: No, no were not. See at Vengeance we have BOTH got a point to prove. If I lose, hey what are the chances? Slim to none I know. But if I were to somehow, someway be defeated by the old man then Im gonna fall flat on my ass for sure. But for someone who talks as much as you do Chris, you need to start realising that youre in a pretty similar position pal.
Christian pauses before continuing
: See you may not like it but what I said earlier was true. People are doubting you. These people here tonight may chant your name but they chant your name not expecting you to come good anymore, they chant your name in the hope that you rise from the ashes. See its been a longgggggg time since you won that Undisputed title you like to talk about so badly. A longgggggg time Chris.
Jericho looks angered by Christian
: Its about time you start lookin at the present, start lookin at the future. Do ya see another World title around the corner? I dont see it for ya. Youre on a sinking ship Chris. But me? Im climbing the ladder to stardom as we speak and at Vengeance the questions will all be answered. All the doubts people have about Captain Charisma will be put to rest and all the questions about Chris Jericho will be answered. Trouble is, I dont think the answers are gonna be the same.
Christian then pauses once again as Jericho speaks
Chris Jericho
: You want answers? I can give you the answers right here, right now. At Vengeance you and your little buddy Edge are gonna come face to face with reality. Therell be no more sneak attacks, no more playing games. When the bell rings and you and Flair, me and Edge come face to face, I know Im gonna be handing out the ass kicking of a lifetime!! And I guarantee you that Ric Flair does the exact..same..thing.
Pop for Jericho there as Christian hands the mic to Tomko and gets in Jerichos face as it looks like the two men are gonna come to blows. Both men are trash talking but Tomko prevents Christian taking it any further as the Captain leaves the ring to a ton of heat as Jericho waves goodbye to him. Christian backs up the ramp but again takes the mic
: Oh before I leave Chris. I just wanted to give you my answers. My answers are real simple. Come Vengeance Ric Flair falls foul at the feet of greatness and all my peeps know it, cos thats just..how I roll! And Jericho I told ya to stop lookin at the past and start lookin to the future, well your future, its right..behind you!
Christian laughs as Jericho turns around and EDGE charges at him!! Jericho sees it coming though and connects with a right hand before charging after Mr.Money in the Bank but Edge rolls out of harms way before running up the ramp to join Christian and Tomko, wanting nothing to do with Jericho as the crowd boo Mr.MITB
Jim Ross
: Look at this snake Coach. Edge wants damn near nothing to do with Chris Jericho unless his back is turned! Hes a damn coward and I cant wait for Vengeance when Jericho finally gets his hands on the Rated R Superstar, that I can assure ya.
The Coach
: He just got his hands on him JR! And Edge was smart enough to get outta there! Quit your complaining. The only guys who deserve to complain around here are that man Edge and the man who spoke from the heart out there tonight, the man who will steal the SHOW at Vengeance, Captain Charisma baby, Christian.
We see a shot of a smirking Christian alongside Tomko, a fleeing Edge holding his jaw and an angered Jericho as the picture fades away
Video Package
We see a Jeep driving through a town before the camera cuts to inside the jeep where we see the two young men who introduced themselves last week, Ken Doane and Nick Nemeth. Doane is driving whilst Nemeth is in the passenger seat
Ken Doane
: Hi Im Ken Doane.
Nick Nemeth
: And Im Nick Nemeth.
Ken Doane
: Last week you saw a glimpse, a taster if you will of what the high life is all about.
We see a small cutback to the pool party last week and Doane and Nemeth with a woman each
Nick Nemeth
: See myself and Ken, we like to live life to the max.
A shot of the two men laying in the sun with champagne it seems from last week again
Ken Doane
: Weve got the money, this car says it all.
The camera shows the car from the outside and inside
Nick Nemeth
: Weve got the ambition
A Ferrari zooms past them as both mens heads tilt back towards it
Nick Nemeth
: Time to put a deposit down on that bad boy Ken.
Doane nods as they continue on
Ken Doane
: Weve got a gift
Nick Nemeth
: Gifted in looks.
Ken Doane
: Gifted in talent.
Nick Nemeth
: Gifted in LIFE itself.
Ken Doane
: And were ready to bring those gifts over to Monday Night Raw.
Nick Nemeth
: So get ready.
Ken Doane
: And buckle up
Both men buckle their seatbelts as Doane speeds up
Nick Nemeth
: Cos Nick Nemeth
The car speeds even faster as both men start to shout over the engine noise
Ken Doane
: And Ken Doane
The car looks to be heading for a crash as they swerve
Nick Nemeth
: Are ready to provide the platform
The car swerves again and begins to slow down as both men start to grin cockily
Ken Doane
: For perfection.
The car then comes to a halt and stops perfectly placed outside what looks like WWE headquarters as all you see is the licence plate which reads P3rf3ct
'Ken Doane and Nick Nemeth: Coming to Monday Night Raw: Soon'
The camera then returns to ringside as we rejoin Coach and J.R
The Coach
: I cant wait for those two guys J.R. They can teach you a thing or two thats for sure. Maybe then youd actually deserve to sit next to someone like myself.
Jim Ross
: Sure Coach.
Arab America
Out steps Muhammad Hassan accompanied by his fellow members of the Arabian Empire, Sonjay Dutt, Daivari and The Great Khali. The crowd give them some strong heat
Jim Ross
: These four men have caused turmoil on Monday Night Raw ever since they formed at Backlash, handing Muhammad Hassan the Intercontinental title. At Vengeance Hassan will put that championship on the line against Shelton Benjamin but has a HUGE advantage in the fact that match will be a 2on 1 handicap match with The Great Khali by Hassans side AS WELL as having Charlie Haas banned from ringside.
The Coach
: As he should be J.R. Eric Bischoff has made a great call there, we cant have Charlie Haas potentially ruining an Intercontinental title match.
Jim Ross
: Are you kiddin me? But its alright for Hassan to have his chronies in his corner?
The Coach
: Oh damn right barbeque boy.
J.R goes silent as the four men surround the ring in wait of Hassans opponent
Sexy Boy
Shawn Michaels steps through the curtain to a rousing reception from the Long Island crowd as we get set for this big match up
Jim Ross
: Shawn Michaels has it all to do come Vengeance folks. The Heartbreak Kid will go one on one with an opponent of Eric Bischoffs choosing. If Michaels wins he gets a World title shot, if Michaels loses, he becomes the property, you heard correctly, the property of Eric Bischoff.
The Coach
: Can you imagine it J.R? Can you really imagine Shawn Michaels, one of the all time greats having to become just a sidekick to the almighty Eric Bischoff? THAT is gonna make for some damn good television.
Jim Ross
: I cant even contemplate it Coach, I just cant.
Match Three: Singles Match
Shawn Michaels vs. Muhammad Hassan
The match is a tight affair with both men having opportunities to pick up the victory but not being able to put away their opponent for the three count. In the early goings it was Hassan who got the upper hand, cheap shotting Michaels as the bell rang before launching his offense on the Heartbreak Kid, scoring a near fall following a nice suplex.
The crowd began to tear into Hassan and his three associates, starting a strong USA chant which the leader of the Entity did not look best pleased with. This may have taken Hassans focus off his game also as Michaels began to bring himself back into the match, pummelling Hassan with some strong right hands before taking him down with a running elbow as the Showstopper looked to build some momentum.
Michaels then scored his first near fall of the match following a cross body from the top rope! Hassan just rolled the shoulder up much to the dismay of the crowd as they thought Michaels had pulled it off.
As the match wore on and both men seemed to tire, the numbers game began to get the better of Michaels. With HBK looking to finish things off, the duo of Dutt and Daivari hopped onto the apron with the referee trying to wave them away it was left to Michaels himself to dispose of them, sending both men flying to the floor with two big right hands as the crowd gave a huge pop.
Michaels however turned around and was met with the gigantic Great Khali standing across the ring at him. The referee was again trying to get Khali out of this match and was even close to calling for the bell however Michaels stood toe to toe with Khali and decided enough was enough before hammering Khali with some Sweet Chin Music!! The crowd went electric but not for too long as Hassan rolled Michaels up, grabbing the tights in the process and scoring the three count!!
Winner: Muhammad Hassan(11:45
Jim Ross
: Damn it! Michaels is screwed here tonight! That damn Entity just continue to steal their way to victories and you gotta feel for Shawn Michaels.
The Coach
: Shawn Michaels crossed the boss J.R. You cant feel for a guy who does that. Muhammad Hassan a deserving winner here tonight. This guy could be the greatest Intercontinental champion of all time!
Jim Ross
: Oh bull Coach. Somebodys gonna put a stop to Hassan some day and Im damn sure hoping that its Shelton Benjamin at Vengeance. And as for Shawn Michaels, one heck of an effort here tonight from the Heartbreak Kid.
The Coach
: Effort dont count a dime come Vengeance J.R. If Shawn Michaels gets pinned again at Vengeance, its game over baby!
We cut backstage to the office of Eric Bischoff who is watching the match on a monitor, looking incredibly pleased with the outcome. We then see The Dudley Boyz walk through the doors of the GMs office to a decent response from the fans as Bischoff looks slightly hesitant
Eric Bischoff
: Gentleman, what uhh, what can I do for ya?
Bischoff looks a bit shaky still as the duo look angry
Bubba Ray Dudley
: You can start by giving us those damn punks Dutt and Daivari, they think theyve been mistreated in this country? Just they freakin wait til me and D-Von get our hands on them. They aint seen the meanin of the word mistreated yet.
The fans pop for an aggressive Bubba here
Eric Bischoff
: Look I saw what went down earlier tonight and hey I gotta admit I liked what I saw. Not only Dutt and Daivari but the Bashams too, both teams are makin statements. Both teams want those titles sittin on your shoulder. Youre telling me you wouldnt do the same if you guys werent holdin the gold?
The duo stare a hole through Bischoff
Eric Bischoff
: Exactly. So the way I see it you wanna get your hands on those guys? You got it. You got Dutt and Daivari at Vengeance alright?
D-Von Dudley
: Oh testify.
Pop for D-Von there but Bischoffs not through yet.
Eric Bischoff
: ANDDDD the Basham Brothers in a triple threat tornado tag team match! How do you guys like the sound o that one?
Bischoff smiles broadly thinking hes one upped the tag champs here
Bubba Ray Dudley
: I like the sound of that a whole hell of a lot Eric. See me and D-Von, we DO NOT CARE how many teams ya put up against us. Bring a whole stinkin squadron in for Vengeance and we will TAKE THEM DOWN!
Pop for Bubba again
Bubba Ray Dudley
: All we came here for Bischoff was to get Dutt and Daivari. The Bashams are just an added bonus. Thank you very much Eric. Always a real pleasure to see ya.
The Dudleyz leave looking focused, seemingly pleased with Bischoffs announcement as the GM looks confused.
Bischoff's phone then goes off and he answers, looking exicted by the call
Eric Bischoff
: Hello.
Bischoff pauses for a second before his face lights up
Eric Bischoff
: Youre sure on this? Hes definitely gonna come back?
Bischoff again pauses
Eric Bischoff
: And theres no chance of him letting me down?
Bischoff pauses again waiting for a reply before beaming with joy
Eric Bischoff
: Great, great news. So Ill see him at Vengeance right?
Bischoff jumps off his chair and punches the air in delight
Eric Bischoff
: And I thought this day couldnt get any better! Awesome news Paul. Tell him I appreciate it and Ill be seeing him come Vengeance. Take care man. Bye, bye.
Bischoff puts the phone down before grinning evily once more
Eric Bischoff
: Oh Shawn, Shawn, Shawn, Vengeance will be..mine ha ha.
J.R quietly says 'Paul?' as we fade off
'Aint no stopping me now
The music of Shelton Benjamin plays as we return to Raw and both Benjamin and Haas make their way down to a good pop
Jim Ross
: Two of the finest young athletes in the entire WWE and Shelton Benjamin has certainly had the midas touch over Triple H in recent encounters beating the Game on three occasions, a feat not many can claim Coach.
The Coach
: Its impressive J.R, Ill admit it. But when Triple H is in the kinda mood hes in tonight, I cant see Shelton Benjamin, I cant see ANYBODY stopping the Game.
Time to play the Game
Out comes the Game to a chorus of boos, still with that stone face look on his face as he walks with authority to the ring, looking at his opponent inside the squared circle
Jim Ross
: We heard from the Game earlier on tonight Coach and you can tell that he is fired up, that is hell bent on reclaiming the World Heavyweight championship at Vengeance. I dont condone what he did last week to Batista though, not at all and when Batista returns next week you can put your life on these two bulls lockin horns.
The Coach
: If I were Batista J.R Id be seriously, SERIOUSLY considering not even showin up at Vengeance. We all saw what Triple H did to Batista last week and after what the Cerebral Assassin had to say here tonight, I am 100% convinced that that man right there is walkin outta Las Vegas in three weeks time, the 11 time, count em J.R, 11 time World champion.
Match Four: Singles Match
Triple H vs. Shelton Benjamin
The main event was highly anticipated and certainly delivered for a fiery Long Island crowd. Shelton Benjamin was once again proving a massive obstacle for the Game to overcome as Trips struggled to deal with the speed and agility of one half of the Worlds Greatest Tag Team. From the get go Hunter became frustrated with not being able to put away Benjamin and it inevitably cost the former World champion as Shelton nearly pulled off another huge upset, rolling up the number one contender for Vengeance. With Charlie Haas looking on from ringside, his support continued to push Benjamin on and also pushed the crowd on as they urged Benjamin to notch up a fourth win over the Cerebral Assassin.
The end of the match saw Trips once again get on top, dropping Shelton with high knee, following a fast paced offence from Benjamin. Trips then pulled a sleeper hold on Benjamin, looking to ground down the former Intercontinental champion. With Benjamin looking to get himself back in the match, it seemed to be the continued support from Haas and the crowd that brought him back into it. Benjamin brought himself upright before nailing Hunter in the gut, releasing the hold.
Shelton then ran the ropes once again before taking Trips down with a huge running clothesline! Cover from Benjamin but a kick out at two from the Game! Shelton begins to feel the momentum shifting and poises himself for Trips return to his feet. Trips gets up and turns around, Benjamin goes for the T-Bone, counter from Trips though as he clotheslines Benjamin down.
Benjamin returns back up to his feet, right into a big right hand from the Game who then whips Shelton across the ring into the ropes, Benjamin rebounds and Trips takes him down with a thunderous face breaker knee smash as Benjamins skull collides full on with the Games left knee. Triple H then roars to the crowd as he has heat poured on him by the Long Island faithful.
Trips then brings Benjamin up to his feet once again before setting him up for the Pedigree. Trips points around the arena, seeming to mouth This is for you Batista. Trips moment of taking his eye off the ball cost him though as Benjamin counters and tosses Trips over his shoulder. Hunter is stunned as he gets back to his feet but he runs right into Benjamin who sets him up, T-Bone suplex!! Benjamin connects!! The fans go insane as Benjamin goes for the cover
Kick out!!
Somehow, someway Triple H kicks out and the crowd cannot believe it, nor can Haas who has his head in his hands whilst Benjamin looks stunned, wondering what more he can do to get the job done here. Benjamin gets to his feet and takes a minute in the corner to regroup himself as Triple H looks to bring himself up also. Both men now on their feet and Benjamin heads straight for the Game but Trips sees him coming and connects with a cheap shot, thumb to the eye from Trips as Benjamin is taken aback.
Trips then signals enough is enough and drops out of the ring and to ringside where he picks up a steel chair but Trips is met by Haas! Charlie Haas confronts Triple H to a big pop from the crowd as Haas tells Trips to put it down or deal with him as Trips holds his hands out to say hes not gonna do anything. The referee drops out of the ring to try and get Haas away from the Game but both men are going at each other verbally.
But its inside the ring where the action is going on!! With the referee distracted and Benjamins attentions on the outside, hes turned around by his bitter rival Muhammad Hassan, accompanied by The Great Khali and Hassan drops Benjamin with a low blow before the Great Khali drops Benjamin with a massive power bomb!! The crowd shit all over the duo as Hassan and Khali exit the ring as Trips drops the chair and heads back inside to the fallen Shelton.
Charlie Haas turns around and sees Hassan and Khali fleeing and Haas grabs the steel chair Triple H had and wastes little time in heading after the duo!! The crowd egg Haas on as Khali and Hassan get out of harms way, Haas right behind them. Inside the ring though, all Triple H has to do is cover Shelton Benjamin.
Triple H gets the win here tonight
Winner: Triple H(12:26
Jim Ross
: Damn it this is not right!! The damn Entity has screwed Shelton Benjamin AGAIN here tonight!! Hassan needs to pay Coach!!
The Coach
: Absolutely beautiful J.R. Triple H standin victorious has got to be one of the greatest sights Ive ever seen on Monday Night Raw and come Vengeance hes gonna do it again!!
Jim Ross
: But what about Hassan and Khali?! What about those no good S.O.Bs huh? I hope Charlie Haas gets his hands on those two! And what the hell is this about?!
The camera cuts to see Triple H who is taking it to Benjamin despite the best efforts of the referee to stop him. Trips hammers away at Benjamin with strong right hands before dropping out of the ring to huge heat but hes far from finished. Triple H heads under the ring and pulls out old faithful, the sledgehammer
Jim Ross
: Oh somebody stop this damn it!!
The Coach
: J.R this is not gonna end well for Shelton Benjamin and there aint anything anybody can do about it.
Trips heads back into the ring towards Benjamin who is defenceless. Trips brings the hammer up over his head as J.R squeals for help when
I walk alone
Its BATISTA!!! THE ANIMAL IS HERE!! Batista storms down to the ring as Triple H looks like hes seen a ghost!!
Jim Ross
The Coach
: You gotta be kidding me?!
Triple H gets out of dodge as quick as he can before sprinting round the ring and up the ramp wanting nothing to do with Batista as the crowd pur heat on him once again with a fired up Batista wanting to tear him apart here tonight
Jim Ross
: Batista may not have gotten his hands on Triple H here tonight but he may well have saved Shelton Benjamins career. Tonight was Triple Hs night but come Vengeance will the Game have what it takes to tame the Animal? Goodnight everybody!

Duke Dominate as Bucs Beat Friars
Is it wrong to get excited when Zach Duke pitches like I did in 2005? He went 8-1/3 inning, allowing just one run, five singles, a triple and a pair of walks. He picked up his third win and dropped his ERA to 2.65.
The Pirates strung together a bunch of hits against starter Shawn Hill (who left with an arm injury) and reliever Josh Geer. The Pirate hitters tallied 14 knocks with Craig Monroe (three hits and three RBI) and Freddy Sanchez (three hits and three runs scored) pacing a balanced attack.
The Good
Duke. I keep waiting for the wheels to fall off.
Sanchez stroked his league leading ninth double.
Monroe has nine RBIs in 23 ABs. If you extrapolate that to a 500 AB season, that is almost 200 RBI. Not too shabby.
The Bad
Injuries. Both Jack Wilson (finger) and Nate McLouth (oblique) wer...

It does contact my skin throughout the day, but it does not bother me nor irritate my skin at all.
If it did poke you in the stomach, I think that could be alleviated by sliding it toward 9 or 3 o'clock, depending on which side you were it. Not necessarily going all the way to 9 or 3, just far enough to where it would ride alongside your stomach rather than poking it.
I too (grudgingly) went aftermarket for a sheath to fit the smaller TDI knife. Got a couple of good kydex benders around here, one of them fixed me up. Bonus with his design is that you can use it as a pocket carry as well as on the belt.
The sheaths that come with the bigger TDI models are pretty decent in my opinion. Only trouble with the large knife is printing, so (again, less grudgingly) I went with a different local sheath/holster guy and he made a belt rig with just a bit of handle-forward cant.
The large knife goes along anytime I'm in places the predators come bigger than people. If the Glock 20 don't stop 'em maybe the knife will...hope I don't have to find out.
good stuff folks learned some some interesting things with this thread, thanks I'll be back!!

I agree it is very important to have a blade that can be deployed quickly to aid in weapon retention. Anyone that grabs my gun in such a way I can't shoot it is gonna get the good news from my knife.
Have you tried the ankle holsters for the TDI? Thats what I've been leaning to buy. Just haven't gotten around to it yet.
I also carry the small (original) TDI as my weak side knife. I've found what works best for me is the belt clip reversed and I carry "backward" around 7:30. Although I am a little heavy I can sit for long periods, drive for hours, walk, run, work around the house with little to no problem of it digging into my body.
The straight blade without having to "deploy" a folder is a big advantage should the need arise or if my strong side is damaged.

Dalton Officials OK Verizon Cell Tower
DALTON, Mass. — The town will raise its bars beginning this summer, when plans to erect a cell phone tower come to fruition.
Dalton officials issued a building permit to Verizon Wireless to construct a cell phone tower that will give service to an area that has largely been lacking it.
According to the town's Select Board, the tower is expected to be operational by July 1.
After augmenting its original design, a special permit application submitted by Verizon to build a 105-feet tall, square "faux smokestack" and 12-by-30 foot equipment shed at 455 West Housatonic St. was approved by the Board of Appeals. Doing business as Pittsfield Cellular Telephone Co., the town initially approved Verizon's special permit application to construct a circular design at the same location on July 18, 2013.
The proximity of Crane & Co.'s Byron-Weston Mill to the proposed plot of land owned by Sinicon Plastics was meant to be aesthetically fitting to the circular smokestack design. However, Verizon deemed the project too cost prohibitive.

- - An indelicate question (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/gear-maintenance/116282-indelicate-question.html)
An indelicate question
My wife and I enjoy sailing Lake Eire's islands. Each year,(3 now) we set modest goals designed to improve our skills and build confidence. Last year, one of our goals was to spend some time on the hook. Overnight at first then gradually building to several days. A goal that was not met.
Our boat is an '86 Catalina 30. No dinghy, no refrigeration and the stove was pulled by the PO in favor of a 120v refrigerator. No of which scares me. My "indelicate" question concerns the head. It's a hand pump Jabsco. I replaced the tired unit with a new one the first year. I've seen these on newer and more expensive boats so they must work, right? Ours has never been "put to the test" so my question is: How well do they work? I don't know if that tiny little thing is up to the challenge. And are they set up properly on the Catalina 30? (two questions, really :))
Re: An indelicate question
I wouldn't call them top of the line, however, a virtually brand new one should work fine. Indelicate is using a 5 gal bucket.
Your only issue should be having sufficient holding tank space to last the duration. To keep waste lines from smelling, you must flush sufficient clear chase water to rinse them out.
Re: An indelicate question
They work very well. The key to reliable operation is to flush often. I tell my guests to flush after every "splash". Don't park yourself on it with the New York Times for 20 minutes then get up and expect a miracle. Also if its not TP, or something you have previously eaten, don't try and flush it. Worst case scenario...5 Gal bucket for backup.
Re: An indelicate question
Agreed. You'll be fine. We have a C30 and don't feel that the holding tank or the head are inadequate for the sailing that we do or that they are set up improperly. The head has survived many of our non-sailor guests as well as the Womanship instructors and students who used the boat before we bought it.
I suggest that you pump out as frequently as possible. Sometimes I keep the seacock closed which forces the clean sink water to flow into the head and I use that to flush. Cuts down on odors somewhat.
One modification we're doing this year is to drill another vent hole in the stanchion into which the holding tank vent hose runs. Also, make sure that you keep that hose clear. We blew out some critters that had made a home inside the hose causing it to be blocked which could have caused the tank to implode.
Re: An indelicate question
Indelicate would be a coffee can. 5 gallons is like a Cadillac. As suggested, flush with enough water. With our 30+ year old head (which needs to have some pump washers replaced again...) we find that adding water to the bowl puts less strain on the intake pump and makes flushing quicker. Don't be surprised if your holding tank fills quickly, though. For the two of us, our tank needs pumping about 1.5 times a week. (It's a small tank - we race.)
Re: An indelicate question
People have been using marine heads for decades with precious few problems. Do a search on the subject and you'll find more than you would ever want to know about how to use it, and insure that it will give years of service.
Personally, I would say there are three major issues that you need to attend to--odors, clogs, and adequate flushing. Luckily, these are dealt with fairly easily.
Adequate flushing has been mentioned a couple of times already. Just be sure you (and guests) understand that you need to flush enough water through the system not just to empty the bowl, but to flush everything all the way through the hoses and into the holding tank.
When it comes to odors, the number one cause is inadequate venting. Be sure the vent is clear and consider adding additional venting. The more air you get into the holding tank, the less problem you will have with odors.
As for clogs, the overwhelming majority happen when people put things in the head that don't belong there. Most people try too hard to be "delicate" when explaining how to use the head. They dance around the issues, especially with guests, leaving openings for confusion and different interpretations. I lay it on the line, in no uncertain terms. What I tell guests is that they may put four things, and four things ONLY, into the head:
1. water
2. urine
3. feces
4. the TP that I have provided (and try to use as little of that as will do the job)
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ELSE IS ALLOWED IN THE HEAD! You don't throw up in there, you don't toss trash in there, you don't spit in it, or toss kleenex in it, and you very definitely do not put any other sort of wipe or sanitary napkin in there. Those four things and nothing else.
Good luck.
Re: An indelicate question
I know what you're saying...That hole and hose look mighty small. However, even a hand pump Jabsco pulls and pushes with quite a bit of pressure and forces improbable output down the line. Good to have a rebuild kit handy though for that sad day when things stop working :eek:
Re: An indelicate question
1 Attachment(s)
Jabscos are fine.
Why dont you just go anchor for a week, eat and drink normally, and by the end of the week you will understand the fine details of this fine machine. you may even get to love it and sing the jabsco song:
"I love my little Jabsco,
Its so neat for me to pee...."
Etc for 37 verses
Re: An indelicate question
Re: An indelicate question
It's so neat for me to pee.
I show it to hot women
Then they want to sail with me.
Sometime two at a time.
Sometimes only one.
No matter how many gals
We always have much fun.
And my head may hurt from wine.
My head may get confused.
But my HEAD she keep a-working
No matter how much it's used.
---chorus ---
Oh Jabsco I love you.
You hook me up onboard
Just like a Margarita
Does the trick on shore.
200 miles offshore
In the nastiest of weather
My Jabsco satisfied
A Floridian name Heather.
She had eaten 3 burgers
Then a sumptuous dinner
While complaining to me
That she wasn't getting thinner.
Then I showed her my Jabsco
To easily lose 10 pounds.
So she dropped the seat
And flushed it all down.
(For we always leave the seat
Without creating a stir
Not up for him
Or down for her.)
She came out of the head
With a smile on her face
With a satified look
For my boat, my place.
---chorus ---
Oh Jabsco I love you.
You hook me up onboard
Just like a Fuzzy Navel
Does the trick on shore.
Out in the gulf stream
Big, square waves and windy
I was headed to Europe
With a buxom girl named Mindy.
(Now I'm the captain
And I let the girls know IT!
I give all the orders
And I don't take no ****!
But she was so good
I let her do the bossing
And I didn't kick her off
For this long ocean crossing)
Between shifts and watches
Love making and doting
She had that stern look
Like her back teeth were floating
We opened the head door,
Didn't heave-to or stop,
Then she jumped back in bed
With a flat-bellied flop.
----chorus ---
Oh Jabsco I love you.
You hook me up onboard
Just like a Sundowner
Does the trick on shore.
We've all heard it before.
It wasn't said on a whim.
Girls don't lie down
In boats they can't stand-up-in
Buy my Jabsco changed that
On my little tub.
500 bucks a month.
And it's time for a back rub!
---chorus ---
Oh Jabsco I love you.
You hook me up onboard
Just like a Painkiller
Does the trick on shore.
Oh Jabsco I love you.
You hook me up onboard
Just like a Painkiller
Does the trick on shore.

problem securing outlet box in finished drywall
i have made the cut in the drywall to fit the outlet box and now i have a problem securing the outlet box with drywall finish. I try to angle 2 screws inside the outlet box but the outlet box doesnt stay flush against the wall and isn't leveled straight.
Any tips how to solve this problem?
Here in Canada we have these things, i am sure they have something similiar in the states
They go by the name 820D, or F clips, or steamships, probably more names for them that.
You slide it in the wall and the two parts that make the "F" wrap around and inside your box. They work really well for putting boxes in drywall walls.
Get an old work box and you should be good to go.
Seriously.....Sometimes a stud will be twisted a bit and you have to move the box in or out to split the difference.
If the drywall is cut straight along the stud and the screws are back into the box far enough to grab the stud, I don't know what the problem could be. Operator error ???
With the screws backed out or removed, hold the box tightly in position squeezing it toward the stud. Use low speed on your driver and run the first screw in, not all the way. Put the second screw in and use some finesse when snugging them up.
Is the side of you box completely flat? Some boxes have protrusions which can mahe them teeter. There may be something on the stud that is putting it out of whack?
I don't know. Look in there and find out.
If you are NOT next to a stud, for old work the blue Carlon is #1
note (also works NEXT to stud)
If next to a stud, for old work 18.5 cu in
If next to a stud, for old work 22 cu in the One-BOX
note you'll have to get these boxes from an Electrical Distributer
no HD here
You can also improvise by putting a decora type switch cover ( open center) on the box while it is floating in the wall. Then fasten your screws through the switch opening while the cover plate works as a flange holding your box flush to the wall surface.
Then remove the cover and torque your screws down.:thumbsup:

In a war where the terrain was as deadly as the enemy, the Museum's newest pavilion tells the story of American servicemembers abroad—and how they overcame unprecedented challenges on multiple fronts to win victory in World War II. In over 19,000 square feet of exhibit space, two extraordinary exhibitions bring visitors inside the epic story of the war in its most infamous settings, bringing to life jungle, beaches, mountains, and oceans in 19 immersive galleries. Following in the footsteps of the men and women who served, Campaigns offers visitors a view of the European and Pacific Theaters through the perspective of those who fought in them.
Inside the Campaigns of Courage pavilion, the sister exhibitions Road to Berlin: European Theater Galleries and Road to Tokyo: Pacific Theater Galleries address the heart of the Museum's mission, telling the story of how the war was won. Their foundation is the Museum's extensive collection of personal stories, which instill the narrative with thorough context to explore how the US troops and their Allies secured victory in the 20th century's titanic struggle—a fight for civilization itself.

Well, the tires were awesome. Amazing the difference with them as opposed to OEM. Granted, everyone I talked to told me they were going to be great, but once I experienced it for myself.... amazing. Sticky.
As for 'running stock'... uh, that's a no. Unfortunately, I modded my car prior to even realizing my interest in Autocross. With that said, my doing Autocross has stopped me from modding any more. In fact, I will eventually create a custom map that will not increase boost levels... I think that will get me into the STU class; need to research that a little more. But this is not a rush. I am just going to stay in novice for the rest of the season and do my best to increase my skill.
As for Sunday's event; I ended up in 4th place out of 19 in the novice division. I believe I had the fastest time in this class, but my PAX for ESP is not so great. No big deal. I really enjoyed myself. My best time was the one run when I was by myself; the other runs I had my wife, my father-in-law, and a friend as passengers... one at a time; not all in the car at once. That would be funny though.
And I took out the child seat this time.
Glad to hear you're out there beating the pavement into submission ! Sticky tires rock, don't they ? Just remember though (from Ross Bentley) "If your car feels like it's riding on rails, you're not driving fast enough !" That's one I'm having to learn....with better grip, there's not much warning when you reach the limit. It's almost a worth it to spin once or twice just to find that limit, because it's a lot faster than I thought it would be. Keep having fun out there Rich

Sotheby's Versace villa sale beats estimates
LONDON (Reuters) - Sotheby's may have withdrawn one of the star lots amid suspicions it was stolen.
But that did not prevent the auctioneer raising 7.4 million pounds ($10.4 million) from its London sale of the contents of late Italian fashion designer Gianni Versace's Lake Como villa late Wednesday, roughly three times expectations.
"With heated bidding ... extending beyond 12 hours, the day sale turned into an evening sale too," said Mario Tavella, deputy chairman of Sotheby's Europe.
"Gianni Versace's passion for collecting ranged from contemporary masterpieces by artists he supported and with whom he developed friendships to the neo-classical works combined to create his own personal Arcadia at Villa Fontanelle.
"Sotheby's ... sales of his property, of which this is the last, are true testament to his eclectic taste, eye for beauty and creative genius," Tavella added.
The top lots were two Italian cherry wood bookcases by Karl Roos which fetched 481,000 and 601,000 pounds versus pre-auction estimates of around 80,000 and 90,000 pounds respectively.
The bookcases, which adorned Versace's villa bedroom, were originally commissioned by Princess Pauline Borghese, sister of Napoleon Bonaparte, for the Library at Palazzo Borghese in Rome in 1814.
Another highlight was a pair of life-sized casts of Antonio Canova's wrestlers, which sold for 433,000 pounds or more than 10 times their high estimate.
The success of the sale, which had been expected to raise around 2.5 million pounds, came despite the late withdrawal of a recently discovered portrait by 18th century German artist Johann Zoffany. Continued...

I didn't say it was the game's fault
. I can't really afford good clothes at this point, and wearing heavier armor that detracts from my attack rating is not a good idea just yet.
I also should have treated my Leaf Elf's wounds after a battle so he wouldn't get Traumatic Fever. But you learn these things as you go. I am far from an expert on this game and it can be rough for first-time players.

The Witcher 2 - DRM Comments
by Dhruin, 2010-06-01 20:48:50
VG247 reports on comments from a Namco representative that were supportive of Ubisoft's DRM system and followup comments from CD Projekt Red. You may recall that Namco will distribute The Witcher 2 in some territories but the CDPR representative responded with "You know Cd Projekt RED's opinion about DRM, right?", which is reassuring at this point.

David Cameron today risked a huge coalition split by announcing that he will "roll back" green taxes that add £112 to soaring energy bills.
The bombshell announcement was dropped in a packed Commons while his deputy Nick Clegg, a huge supporter of green measures, sat in stony-faced silence.
Battling to regain the political initiative on home energy bills, Mr Cameron told MPs: "We need to roll back the costs that have been imposed on people's energy bills." Sources said changes could be announced as early as the Chancellor's autumn statement.
The Prime Minister also announced a review of competition in the industry intended to pre-empt Labour leader Ed Miliband's attempt to overhaul the big six companies.
Among the charges on domestic bills is ECO, which pays energy firms to help vulnerable people and adds £50 to the average bill; a renewables obligation, costing families £30; insulation schemes costing £11 and renewables subsidies costing £30. His announcement comes a week after Lib-Dem Energy Secetary Ed Davey dismissed Tory calls to scrap green levies to reduce bills as "silly". An ally of Mr Davey made clear that the party had not yet given their consent, saying: "Any changes need to be agreed across the Government."
Despite Lib-Dem ministers saying just weeks ago that green levies were needed, the Prime Minister told a packed Commons he was determined to reduce them "one way or another".
Mr Cameron also said that the Government needs to "get to grips" with the profits of the power companies, announcing a new "competition test" for the energy market.
Measures are now expected in the autumn statement in December to reduce the impact of environmental levies on fuel bills.
Labour MPs jeered the Prime Minister, believing that he has been pushed to act due to Mr Miliband's conference pledge to freeze energy bills. It comes 24 hours after former Prime Minister Sir John Major called for a windfall tax on energy companies to fund support for low-income families.
Mr Cameron told MPs: "We need to roll back some of the green regulations and charges that are putting up bills."
Explaining how he would tackle "the profits of the energy companies" he went on: "I can tell the House today that we will be having a proper competition test over the next year to get to the bottom of whether this market can be more competitive. I want more companies. I want better regulation. I want better deals for consumers."
The Lib-Dems have previously vowed to prevent any fall in green levies during this Parliament.
Mr Miliband said that the Government could use legislation going through parliament to implement Labour's plan for an energy freeze.Reuse content

Sunday morning sees Marylebone mums heading en masse to this farmer's market to get their weekly shop done before enjoying a posh coffee and croissant. Best buy is some classic French food from Madame Gautier – or stop by Downland Produce for a portion of their whole hog roast. Beware though – get too distracted by the pretty boutiques on Marylebone High Street and you'll miss the market; clearer signs would be handy.

ACM Programs
We especially encourage our students to consider ACM programs because they are designed with small, liberal arts college students in mind.

"I just returned from a 19-day journey around North India. One of the incredible parts of this program is that students make their own travel plans and travel without guides or teachers. It was just five friends and me in a part of the country that we had very little previous knowledge of. That alone made it an incredibly liberating experience, and perhaps the best trip of my life."

The Dresden Files

I realize the Dresden Files is a set of novels, but I've only watched the TV show, which I liked. Are the novels good reading, should I buy them?
I was pissed when they canceled it, The Middleman too.
The show changed a lot from the books but tried to keep it's spirit. I really enjoy the books and they get progressively better too. Plus, imo, the book version of Bob is much cooler as just a horny talking skull spirit as opposed to a former human with human-form spirit. Check Jim Butcher's website, he has a short story and a vignette set before the series on his website that will let you feel out if you like the story telling style.
fuck, I cried when I heard that the middleman wasn't coming back. luckily there's a few comics
I know, it was beautifully done. One of the few shows that I couldn't wait to watch. It's frustrating.
Snape effect: No matter how much Jim B. stresses that Harry Dresden is extremely tall and gangly, he always gets portrayed as varying degrees of buff.
hell yeah, harry and sue ftw
i love the novels, the show was only loosely based on them. i really couldn't get into it. just like the sword of truth series and the show the legend of the seeker.
I absolutely LOVE these books. And there is only three more days till there is a new Dresden book, I am so happy!
Working in a book store is awesome: Changes is a very good book, but I can't wait to talk about it to more people.
The Dresden Files is my favorite "popcorn" novels. They are tasty and I can devour 1 in a few sittings.
The Dresden Files (books and show) are awesome. I loaned the first one out to someone over a year ago and it still hasn't come back to me 🙁 I think I may just have to buy it again.
I worked on that show! But I never read the books. I really need to check them out.
The series and books were totally awesome. I'm gonna hate it when the Dresden novels come to a close. The should make the novels into movies but I think people will complain he has ripped of Harry Potter. Not!
There are a lot of books left to come out, like ten or so. I'd love to see a good movie made of this but I'm not sure the first book would really grab the attention deficient crowds so much as the later stuff would.
If you like Dresden Files also check out the Iron Druid series by Kevin Hearne, very similar feel as far as the sarcasm and such goes.

I have:
Gorgeous 1998 DeVille D'Elegance in White Diamond with the Gold Package with just over 60,700 miles on it. From what I can tell all original except for a wood dash kit (looks very sharp and the aftermarket parts are indistinguishable from the factory parts. Has all options except Astro Roof, Homelink (came with it originally but previous owner removed it), car phone (came with it originally but previous owner removed it), and the jury is still out as to if it has the bose stereo or not (has the 11 speaker CD/Cassette unit with RDS), also does not have the CD Changer (YET!).
I want in order:
1.] Similarly equipt 98 or 99 DeVille Concors (mom has a 99 with 104k on it)
2.] LOADED 98 or 99 Eldorado ETC also in White Diamond although I love that reddish burgandy color.
3.] 03-05 DeVille (loaded)
4.] 2006 Porsche 911 GT2
5.] 25th anniversary Lamborghini Countach
Doubt I will ever have 4 or 5 but the 1st 3 can be done.

Re: Compatibility issue in Mathematica 7
that depends, if you have just some algebraic computations
it will work fine, if you have a lot of image processing
in it it will not.
The best way is to look what's new in version 7 and to decide
how much you will/would use of it.

References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English (9)
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0521775043, Paperback)Why is the sky blue? Why do mountains glow in the dark? Is the darkest always before the dawn?
An ideal reference to have on hand in answering questions such as these, Color and Light in Nature is an endlessly fascinating exploration of phenomena that are familiar to us all, but that even trained scientists take for granted. Take the question of why stars twinkle, for instance: twinkling, astronomers Lynch and Livingston observe, is strongest with stars that are low in the sky, and then on a clear and windy night, when starlight passing through the atmosphere encounters little pockets of turbulence that bend its rays "momentarily away from our eyes." Sunlight undergoes similar distortions, yielding mirages, "blinks," sundogs, halos, rainbows, "mountain light," and other wonders of nature, all of which the authors describe and explain in clear and accessible prose.
Lynch and Livingston encourage their readers to seek out and study these phenomena for themselves, writing, for instance, "No effort should be spared to witness at least one total eclipse in your lifetime." They go on to make a good case for why that should be so, and why the workings of light and color should be of interest to students of science. Their book is a lively companion and teacher. --Gregory McNamee
