Online casino industry is a true online industry which works without any traditional office for that matter. Being an online entity, every online casino has to ensure some safety measures to ensure its players are protected from any outside data harvester. A casino game can only be enjoyed utterly if a player is playing with real money. Though, demo games are available but they only serve a basic entertainment without any exaggeration of being at a casino zone. Casinos are habitually known for lots of prizes raining everywhere, and for that every player needs to deposit real money into his casino account. Since there's no offline cashier, every player has to use casino's offered banking channels to deposit or even withdraw money from his account. Online banking channels work like a third party provider who collects money from players and sends to casinos. Today, every internet data link is prone to hack attacks, and it's also true that providing financial details, like user name and passwords, through an unknown banking gateway could be skeptical for a new casino player. But, if a player is carefully following each step, he can safely transfer money to his casino account without being highlighted into hackers target list. Continue reading
Social networks are on the rise in recent years, perhaps they are the best thing to come by whereby anyone can mark his presence right in front of the world; he is not restrained by anyone effectively. If social networks have a mammoth user base then how is it possible that these users remain alien to the casino concept or rather casino games. Indeed, casino games have ever been on the radar of every fun enthusiastic, and coz of a social pressure or some misleading information about online casinos, he is not able to play them. But after the arrival of social networks, anyone can play most of the casino games being made available on various social networks; perhaps, these days, every online casino offers a social app which helps any user to play casino games right inside his social account. The biggest advantage of playing a casino game on a social network is that you can play it along with your friends and colleagues by inviting them and making them aware about a game. Moreover, there is no real money involved; hence you can enjoy true casino fun without losing anything. However, there are play monies which are used to wager on social networks, and a player can also buy more play chips at much lower prices, like 100000 play chips for just $5. Continue reading
Betting on the various forms of sports is becoming more and more common because people have found it to be a pretty exciting way to enjoy watching the sport they love and at the same time it also presents them the chance to win some extra cash. For most, it's basically the latter of the two and it's pretty true that you can make it big in the sports betting world, but it is risky. Betting on sports is only for those who are willing to risk. Remember that you can get big rewards when making risks. Now, if you're planning on taking sports betting seriously, you have to wise up and learn a few basic things first as losing your hard earned cash in betting can be really frustrating.

Online casino game's philosophy is the hardest part to understand by any new casino goer. Even many matured casino players, sometimes, aren't able to accurately differentiate a skill game from a luck based casino game. In a general understanding, casino games are always based on luck factor, and have no association with the player's playing skills, but it's not true. There're hundreds of casino games found in every online casino, and not all of them require you to be a lucky person to win something out of them. Apart from this, there're many games, which can only be won with the use of a perfect playing skill; otherwise you can never beat your opponent. Take an example of Poker: it is supposed to be a chance game in its beginning period, but gradually; people recognized its gameplay and the player's skills that is an important factor to win any poker game. Even through it's a five cards drawn game, yet there are lots of possible permutations, and players have to re-arrange their cards to convert them in a winnable hand ranking. One can easy guess how much mental hard work is required to calculate the fifty-two cards possible arrangements.

Online casino industry is a vast phenomenon happening these days – more than land casinos. Even online players base is much more than a classic brick and mortar money-spinning mode. Online casino games are often blamed to be an addicted kind of entertainment where any player can lose anything he has in a matter of few hours, or in few sessions, sometimes. To void an unaccounted loss, or attracting more players to participate, online casino industry has come up with a novel idea of online gaming entertainment, called: online tournaments. These tourneys are available for most popular online games, like slots, bingo, poker, or even craps. The accessibility of an online tournament is a necessity for any online casino to remain in the prime online league, and often attracts largest players pool to participate from around the world.

There can be serious consequences for identifying publicly as BDSM, and there's a lot of anxiety in the BDSM community about that. Yet one of the most effective ways to combat the anti-BDSM crowd is for us BDSM people to come out. Being out about our kink can be a very powerful statement: a statement that we aren't ashamed; that we don't think there's anything wrong with what we're doing; that we are people too … all that good stuff. If you've seen "Milk" or "The Life and Times of Harvey Milk" — both movies about the famous gay politician — then you may recall that Milk urged all gay people to come out, as a fundamental part of the gay liberation movement. There are BDSM advocates who take the same position.
Recently, I was in a position to observe a great conversation on this subject among a bunch of smart kink advocates, and I'm going to reproduce a bunch of that conversation here. First, though: greetings from New York … I'm back again! I don't usually spend quite so much time here, but there were a number of events to tempt me. I'll be giving my BDSM Overview presentation at the Museum of Sex this Friday; if you know anyone in New York who could use a general introduction to BDSM — how the community welcomes and educates people, the way we differentiate between BDSM and abuse, BDSM-related legal issues, and so on — then you should send them down to 233 5th Avenue, Friday, 7PM. Plus, CineKink was this past weekend, and I was privileged to see a number of really excellent sex-positive films there. I highly recommend CineKink — and it tours, so if you're in another city, you should check the CineKink website to see if it's coming to your town.
There's another great event happening this weekend: KinkForAll, on Sunday. I'm really looking forward to KinkForAll … it's going to be a huge learning opportunity, not to mention a chance to meet some sex-positive advocates that I admire a lot. I encourage anyone — anyone at all, gay or straight, kinky or non, whatever — anyone with an interest in sexuality to attend KinkForAll.
Here's something worth emphasizing about KinkForAll, though: taking photos and recording video will be allowed. Not just allowed — encouraged! To quote from some of the early KinkForAll emails, "information from the talks will be spread on the web afterwards. It's to get everyone in on the discussion on sexuality, it's to get everyone sharing and teaching with everyone else, and it's to get sexual information available to all people, regardless of age, socioeconomic station, gender, sexuality, etc." Of course this is a noble goal, but means that people who aren't currently seeking to come out are taking a serious risk when we attend KinkForAll.
I recognize that (notwithstanding my recent whiny entry on coming out BDSM) I have not suffered any real consequences for my high visibility. And even if I were properly outed — if my birth name were widely associated with BDSM — I would still be in a better position than most. My parents, for instance, already know about my sexuality, and are totally cool with it. And although I would very likely suffer professional damage if I were outed, my economic status is such that I wouldn't be out on the street. Still, though I don't have any children yet, I do plan to — and children are hostages to social stigma … as would be anyone I want to get romantically involved with. If I date someone whose parents don't know he's into BDSM, and I'm widely known to be into it, what happens then? We keep our relationship a secret? He risks his relationship with his family to date me? What a mess.
When Maymay, event organizer, first announced to the KinkForAll mailing list that recordings would be encouraged at the event, I made the obvious point: that this would arguably discourage attendance. Maymay responded by saying that the event would institute colored nametags that would indicate the wearer's status — either "willing to be recorded" or "not willing to be recorded". I said:
I certainly don't think recording should be disallowed, because I do believe recording is a noble goal. But I think it will encourage attendance if there is a more effective way to demonstrate one's unwillingness to be recorded — you know, better than wearing an easily-missed nametag. For instance, maybe certain areas of the venue should be specifically designated as recording-free.
Maymay answered:
I tend to agree with you, actually, that encouraging cameras and recording devices will probably discourage *some* people from attending. While that's unfortunate, it's also simply the nature of things. Social change is great and wonderful but it simply can not happen if people don't put their faces behind the message.
… So, to be precise: [it's not impossible to institute recording-free zones]. However, the fact remains that even if you confiscated every cell phone, digital camera, tape recorder, and every other recording device you could find at the door to the event, there is *still* a chance that people will be photographed or otherwise recorded even if they ask not to be. There's no way to stop it and ultimately you're always asking people to play by the rules honestly anyway.
Disallowing cameras is just not something KinkForAll as an event has much of a reason to enforce. Moreover, in the spirit of spreading information, creating any policy disallowing cameras is itself a counterproductive idea.
… In other words, the message I want to send to people who are considering not coming to KinkForAll because they might be photographed is: we will miss you, and we hope you will be comfortable enough next time around to come out and be part of the discussions with the rest of us face-to-face.
There was a bit more talking at the time, and at subsequent times, but I think the most comprehensive and eloquent argument against allowing recording at KinkForAll was put forth by Corey Alexander:
I guard images of myself, and do not publicize them, with good reason, and in ways that cause some difficulty, in all arenas of my life, including professionally. My personal reasons aside, I think it is important (as someone for whom these issues matter very much) to communicate to you what it may mean to hold such an event, and who you may be excluding because of it. I understand that you intend to go forward with the event as planned and I am very aware of why you are invested in a politics of outness, and I do not dispute this as a political strategy. I just want to talk about risk, and potential cost, because I think that folks that are invested in outness need to be aware of these issues.
I personally would be pretty much guaranteed to lose my job if I were out, and I am not alone there, as would pretty much anyone who works with kids, and who works in the social services or government. Additionally, those with kids or those who intend to have kids run the continued risk of losing custody of their children, should they be publically identified/identifiable as a kinky person. I personally have known several people that have lost their kids, and several who are currently involved in custody battles over this very issue. …. These are the risks that come with outness, and they are just some of those risks, but I find them the most compelling in my life, because they illuminate places where some people simply *cannot* choose to attend your event; they do not have the privilege. In this economic climate, where I have friends getting laid off right and left, I would support anyone who would choose their economic survival over attending an event like this (of course those folks that are assured of the economic support of others or the tolerance within their profession may have privilege that allows such risks). As someone who has lost custody of children I have parented, I would also support any parent who would choose not to take such a risk.
Another thing to note is that any event that is invested in publicizing images of attendees widely is unlikely to attract folks that are survivors of violence that have taken steps to hide their whereabouts.
… More than that, I want to draw your attention to the community resources you will lose, presenters, volunteers and attendees, because of this policy. I am not the only one, I am sure. … As you are interested in Kink For *All*, I would urge you to consider that as you welcome some (through your publicity on the internet), you exclude others (who cannot or choose not to take such risks) by this policy.
Maymay responded:
All of these risks you mention are real and valid but they are ones I believe are ultimately transient for society; that is, they will not always be risks. That said, I do not believe it's possible to get to a place where kink for *all* is really possible without just such "politics of outness," as you have described them.
… To date, other sexuality community events have excluded the very people *this* event wants to involve. If that means losing parts of the more traditional and valuable sexuality community, such as yourself, this is a price I am willing, if not happy, about paying.
… There are lots of examples I could give of people who are for one reason or another excluded by most other sexuality community events [such as Sex 2.0, Dark Odyssey, traditional BDSM conventions, and others] and who I believe are fantastically valuable additions, but I had two primary thoughts on this:
1. People who are not familiar with the public sexuality communities and who therefore do not go to the same events as many of us on this list do.
2. People, typically younger ones, who are familiar with the public sexuality communities and find them not to their liking for whatever reason.
Sara Eileen added:
We hope that the Kink For All space will feel safe for everyone who participates. But, in keeping with the core concepts of the idea, we hope to make this happen through encouragement, support, and expectations rather than rules.
These concerns are valid and difficult to answer, mostly because I think we really need to see how this community-focused space will shape up *on the day itself.* In the meantime, the risk of finding the space unsafe may be regrettably too high for some.
I'd like to mention again that if you're presenting, you are by no means expected to present on an explicit, demonstrative or practical subject. The intersection of sex and life has many issues to be explored, and I truly hope we run the gamut of them when the time comes. I'd also like to point out that our venue explicitly forbids nudity, and the 20-minute presentation time frame makes practical demonstrations very difficult. That's not to say they may not happen, but I expect to see much more talking than anything else.
We will have colored nametags or markers for people who don't wish to be photographed. These markers, as with all components of safe spaces, function on the basis of trust. This event is bringing together a lot of different groups and new faces. It's up to each of us individually to determine whether we have enough trust in the respect and consideration of other attendees.
The discussion went a little bit afield in places, but these are all the points that I found most compelling and interesting — both as a kinkster considering the politics of outness, and an organizer of sex-positive events. If you want to look at the KinkForAll mailing list archives and examine the full threads for yourself, you can find the KinkForAll Google group here.

Reports indicate that there is less confidence that the auto indusrty bailout will be passed. Many Republicans and some Democrats question whether the bailout bill will use taxpayer's dollars effectively. The Bloomberg article Democrats Back Off Prediction of Automaker Bailout Approval describes the latest version of the bill.
The Democratic proposal would let the president appoint a so-called car czar to oversee industry restructuring, and give taxpayers stock warrants equal to 20 percent of the loans. It would prohibit the automakers from paying dividends and owning or leasing corporate jets, and pay and bonuses would be limited.
This, however, does not address the inherent problems with these businesses. Preventing the "paying dividends and owning or leasing corporate jets, and pay and bonuses" addresses none of the major problems with these companies. A limit on excesses misses the basic fact that these are failed companies, who can't garner loans from anyone other than Congress. The only check or change that this bill implements is 'a car czar'; the powers of which Chairman Barney Frank tried to explain…
Frank told reporters today the bill would give the car czar "a great deal of head-knocking ability" with "a lot of the powers that you would get in bankruptcy."
The official would have the power to veto participating automakers' plans to invest abroad, Frank said. Lawmakers want to ensure the companies don't "take American taxpayer dollars and expand in other countries rather than here, or shut down a plant in America while expanding a plant elsewhere," he said.
Because Bush and President-elect Barack Obama are unlikely to agree on a czar, Obama will likely replace Bush's pick as soon as he takes office, Frank said. The Bush administration has said the official should come from the Commerce Department.
So this 'car czar' a likely member of the Commerce Department will be apparently appointed by President Bush then replaced by the future President Obama, and he shall be granted 'head knocking abilities'.
Chairman Frank went on to state that the auto industry will likely need to be granted more money in the future, something Speaker Pelosi has also stated. This does not instill confidence that this bailout will be anything but a waste of money.
A few basic questions for lawmakers…
How will this money fix the failed business policies of the auto industry?
How many bailouts and/or how much money will be paid to the automakers total?
What's wrong with bankruptcy?
What are the requirements for being granted a government bailout?
This is still not an rational solution. Ask your representatives not to support this bailout bill, and make them at least answer the basic question, 'how will this money fix the problems that the auto industry faces?'

Fox Attacks On Obama Ignore Bush Apology For Quran Desecration
Fox News figures are lambasting President Obama as "weak" for apologizing to Afghans after U.S. military personnel burned copies of the Quran. This criticism is bizarre, as Obama's reaction to the incident is fully consistent with U.S. precedent: in 2008, President Bush similarly apologized to Iraq's prime minister following the desecration of a Quran by American military personnel.
Obama Apologized To Afghans For Quran Burning
AP: "President Barack Obama Apologized To Afghans ... For The Burning Of Qurans At A U.S. Military Base." The Associated Press reported:
President Barack Obama apologized to Afghans on Thursday for the burning of Qurans at a U.S. military base, trying to assuage rising anti-American sentiment as an Afghan soldier gunned down two American troops during another day of angry protests.
The U.S.-led military coalition says the Muslim holy books were sent by mistake to a garbage burn pit at Bagram Air Field and the case is under investigation. [Associated Press, 2/24/12]
Obama Blasted As "Weak" After Issuing Apology For Quran Burning
Fox's McInerney: Obama's Apology Showed "Weakness," "Exacerbated The Problem." On America Live, retired Lt. Gen. Tom McInerney, a Fox News contributor, claimed Obama demonstrated "weakness" with the apology:
McINERNEY: That showed weakness, Megyn. That showed weakness when the president did it. Now I think that it exacerbated the problem by him doing it, 'cause it showed the street, well, they were doing it deliberately. That's my interpretation on it -- and it may not have done it. And the way this was laid out, it happened so quickly, it may have been contrived in some instances, because they reacted very quickly. [Fox News, America Live, 2/27/12]
Fox's Goodwin: "Not Necessary" For Obama To Apologize For "Something Some Soldiers Did." During a Fox & Friends appearance, Fox News contributor and New York Post columnist Michael Goodwin said:
GOODWIN: I think the apology was a mistake for two reasons. Basically, the president doesn't have to get involved on this level. There's not -- not necessary for the president of the United States to apologize because something some soldiers did in Afghanistan. This is not murder.
They didn't mow down a village. This is no My Lai massacre or anything like that. This is a simple mistake. And I think for the president to apologize elevates it. He also talks about holding those accountable. I mean, this is silly. [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 2/27/12]
Fox's Gallagher: It's "Outrageous" For Obama "To Go Crawling To Karzai" And Say "We're Sorry." During an appearance on America Live, Fox News contributor Mike Gallagher chastised Obama as "this apologist president" and said:
GALLAGHER: No one is justifying, by the way the burning of the Quran. Nobody's defending that. I'm certainly not going to, but ultimately for President Obama to go crawling to Karzai and say, "we're sorry that this Quran was burned," where is the apology from the Afghan president? Where is any apology for the death of these Americans? It's outrageous. [Fox News, America Live, 2/24/12]
But Obama's Reaction Is Perfectly Consistent With Precedent
Huffington Post: President Bush "Apologized To Iraq's Prime Minister For An American Sniper's Shooting Of A Quran." A May 21, 2008 Huffington Post article reported:
President Bush has apologized to Iraq's prime minister for an American sniper's shooting of a Quran, and the Iraqi government called on U.S. military commanders to educate their soldiers to respect local religious beliefs.
Bush's spokeswoman said Tuesday that the president apologized during a videoconference Monday with Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, who told the president that the shooting of Islam's holy book had disappointed and angered both the Iraqi people and their leaders.
"He apologized for that in the sense that he said that we take it very seriously," White House press secretary Dana Perino said. "We are concerned about the reaction. We wanted them to know that the president knew that this was wrong." [Huffington Post, 5/21/08]

Everyone is at MU for different reasons. Alex Anderson, a firefighter with a passion for business, is working toward becoming an oncologist.
The goal is close to Anderson's heart: His girlfriend was diagnosed with cancer last year.
"I've formed this overwhelming desire to save lives," the business major says. "God has given me this opportunity to help people, and I love it."
While he lays the groundwork for a gratifying career, Anderson is enjoying everything MU has to offer, especially the challenging classes and Christian fellowship. "I love learning about business," he says. "There are a lot of different views, and I'm interested in learning everyone's opinion so I can be a better professional."
His professors are a big part of his life. "Everyone who teaches here is beyond qualified, and they all use their knowledge so wisely," he says. "They are kind, and they try to help you find out who God is through his word. They'll have a personal relationship with you and mentor you at the same time."
As for his Bible and Theology major, it's helping Anderson gain a firm foothold. "Multnomah's a place where you learn what you believe and how it applies to your life," he says. "You should always study what you believe and be able to defend your faith."
Anderson credits MU with creating steady discipline and a strong work ethic in his life. His fellow students only encourage him to strive for his best.
"The bar for learning is a lot higher here," he says. "And MU does a great job of ensuring all its students have a friendly and loving community around them. I love the dorm life so much; I wouldn't trade it for anything. It feels exactly like home."

Hiroki Kuroda hadn't given up more than five hits in any of his starts this season, so when the Blue Jays pounded out six in the first two innings last night, the Yankees seemed to be in trouble.
Suddenly, though, Kuroda righted himself by striking out Jose Bautista to end the second inning and retired 13 of the last 14 batters he faced in a 5-3 win in The Bronx.
"You can look at performances and see a guy dominate in a complete game … but this might be his best performance of the year," manager Joe Girardi said after Kuroda won his third straight decision to improved to 3-1. "To be able to get through six [innings] and not really having his stuff, I thought he really had to grind it out."
His ability to do so made him the beneficiary of three Yankees homers — including one from Robinson Cano.
Cano's three-run blast in the third gave the Yankees a 4-3 lead. The second baseman turned on a 3-1 pitch from Mark Buehrle and sent it deep into the right field seats for his seventh of the year.
It was exactly the way the Yankees were looking to begin a 10-game homestand after dropping three of their last four on the road.
Vernon Wells got the Yankees on the board when he started the bottom of the second with a homer to center off Buehrle (1-1). Wells now has three home runs in his career off the left-hander.
Francisco Cervelli's homer to left to lead off the bottom of the fourth gave Kuroda some more breathing room.
Kuroda's turnaround last night was stark. Even though he never felt he was able to fix his mechanics, Kuroda recovered from giving up four hits and a walk in the first and another homer in the second.
"Early on, my pitches weren't there, especially my sinker," Kuroda said through a translator. "All I thought about was, 'Hang in there.' "
He wasn't ready to call it his best start, instead going with "decent." On this night, decent was good enough.
The Yankees' third-inning rally began with infield singles by Jayson Nix and Brett Gardner. After Ben Francisco flied to left for the second out, Cano delivered his homer.
After that, Kuroda cruised through the next three innings, allowing just one baserunner — which came by way of a Lyle Overbay error at first.
Joba Chamberlain, David Robertson pitched scoreless innings in relief before Mariano Rivera tossed a perfect ninth for his seventh save in as many chances.
Kuroda might not have felt as good as in his previous two starts, when he tossed a shutout against the Orioles and then limited Toronto to three hits and a run over 7 1/3 innings. but he still impressed his manager.
"From a mental standpoint, he was really tough-minded," Girardi said. "He found a way."

JOHNSBURG – When Sue Harder first moved to Lake in the Hills from Chicago about a year and a half ago, she was happy about her new home.
What she wasn't particularly thrilled about was her tap water.
"I'm used to (Chicago) water," said Harder, adding that city water in Chicago comes from Lake Michigan, and is soft, something not commonly found in McHenry County water sources. "My son had moved out several months before I did, and he was having a new water softener put in."
Her son's softener was installed by Huemann Water Conditioning of Johnsburg. And soon, Harder was a steadfast customer of the generations-old company, too.
"The guys were just so pleasant and they were so accommodating," she said, adding that she not only bought a new softener, but takes regular salt deliveries from Huemann, as well.
Huemann Water Conditioning is an offshoot of a family business that's been serving Johnsburg and a growing radius around it since 1902. Huemann Water Conditioning President Joseph J. Huemann is the fourth generation in the water business, which started with the Jos. H. Huemann and Sons well drilling company.
That company still exists, and now is run by Joe Huemann's cousins, Jeff Huemann and Jeni Hopp.
Joseph J. Huemann's father, Tom Huemann, split from the well drilling company which at that time was run by Tom's father, Joseph G. Huemann, in the '60s.
"I am second generation in the water treatment business, fourth generation in the water business and a first-generation plumber," said Joseph J. Huemann, who started working with his dad when he was a boy.
"When I was 13, Dad said 'Take the truck and go deliver salt in McHenry,'" Joe Huemann recalled. "I said 'Dad, I don't have a license.' He said 'Well, someone's got to do it.' Things were different then."
Joe Huemann also recalls that when he was 16, Huemann Water Conditioning employed three people. It employs 18 today, and between them, they visit roughly 100 homes in McHenry and Lake counties daily, he said. They sell, install and service water softeners and reverse-osmosis drinking water systems. They also sell and deliver softener salt.
The company maintains roughly 30,000 accounts, up from about 10,000 in 1995.
The growth has been marked not only by population increases, but also by significantly greater percentages of residential use of water treatment systems.
"In the '60s, one out of 50 homeowners did something (about treating their water)," said Huemann, 53. "Nowadays, 90 percent of people do something to make their water better."
While Huemann does commercial work, most customers are homeowners who prefer soft water for bathing, drinking and laundering. In addition, he said, "People are generally more concerned about their drinking water."
Huemann recommended that anyone anxious about possible unhealthy levels of naturally occurring or manmade elements in their water have a lab analysis done before calling Huemann, which will provide a free treatment system consultation. Among naturally occurring elements in McHenry County are barium and radium (generally problematic only for deep wells of 1,000 feet or more), and arsenic.
Huemann offers conditioning systems ranging in price from about $500 to $3,000, and reverse-osmosis systems that provide high-quality filtered drinking water.
Will a fifth generation take over? That chapter remains unwritten.
"My children and my sister's kids all have worked here," Huemann said. "They're all in their 20s, and are now seeing what the world offers."

It Is All About BTC, LTC, ETH, ZEC mining as well as other alternative crypto currencies
We have covered Awesome Miner software for management and monitoring of mining rigs quite a while ago and now it is time to mention it again. This Windows application allows you to monitor and manage multiple mining rigs that can be mining different crypto coins, there is even an automatic profitability switching functionality built in. The software supports multiple mining engines: cgminer, bfgminer, sgminer, ccMiner, CpuMiner-Opt and Claymore's Dual Ethereum Miner. There is also support for all popular mining algorithms can be used: SHA-256, SHA-3, Scrypt, Scrypt Adaptive N, X11, X13, X15, Nist5, Groestl, NeoScrypt, Lyra2RE, Lyra2REv2, Qubit, Quark, WhirlpoolX, Blake 2b, LBRY, Decred and Ethereum. The main purpose of the Awesome Miner software is to make mining easier to manage with some useful features for both small home miners as well as large scale mining operations. The software can manage up to 5000 miners from a single user interface.
The new version 2.0 of the software improves management of larger mining operations and adds more options for integration with external applications. The new security features make management possible in multi-user environments and the new API and scripting features makes integration and further customization possible. Do note that the majority of the functionality provided by the software is available in the completely Free version, including support for the Awesome Profit Switching functionality. The Free version of the software however is intended for small scale mining and comes with support for a maximum of 2 mining computers or ASIC's. The Paid versions of the software include some more advanced features and come with support for very large mining operations.
– For more details about the Awesome Miner Management and Monitoring Software…
Awesome Miner is a Windows-based application for managing and monitoring mining rigs for Bitcoin, Litecoin and other crypto currencies supporting multiple mining engines including the most commonly used ones such as cgminer and sgminer, so that it can be used with not only GPU mining rigs, but some FPGA and ASICs as well. But probably the most interesting feature of the Awesome Miner software is the so called Awesome Profit Switching that allows you to get the highest profit from your mining hardware by automatically switching to the most profitable pool and algorithm. Currently the automatic profit switching algorithm supports NiceHash, TradeMyBit, LTCRabbit and Yaamp as pools.
Do note that the Awesome Miner software has a Free edition as well as a few paid versions available, the main difference is that the paid versions offer some more extras as well as well as higher maximum number of mining instances. The free version of Awesome Miner has a limit of 2 miner processes, so this is the most significant difference compared to the paid version of the software. However you can still try the free version to check out the Awesome Profit Switching functionality. And if you still haven't tried the free Nicehash Control Tool, you might also check the packages that we have prepared for AMD and Nvidia GPUs as an alternative, even if they only support NiceHash.

Israel: Missing soldier killed in battle
GAZA CITY — A soldier who was previously believed captured by Hamas was killed in battle, said the Israeli military Saturday night.
The military announced that 23-year-old Hadar Goldin of the Givati infantry brigade had been killed Friday. Israel's defense minister, along with the chief military rabbi, met with the soldier's family at their home in the town of Kfar Saba.
Hundreds of well-wishers from around Israel gathered outside their home, praying and showing their support. There was an outpouring of grief among the crowd when the military's announcement was made public.
Earlier on Saturday, defying international pleas for yet another truce, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said military forces will continue the ground operation in Gaza at full force until it accomplishes its goal of destroying Hamas tunnels.
Speaking at a news conference, Netanyahu said that after those tunnels are destroyed, Israeli forces will "regroup" in accordance with their own security needs.
"We promise the citizens of Israel to bring back calm and order, and we will continue to operate until this goal is reached no matter how much time it takes,'' he said.
MORE:Gaza cease-fire talks are on ice
The news came as Israeli media reported troops were already pulling back from parts of Gaza after having destroyed 31 tunnels since last month.
The Israeli military told residents of the northern Gaza town of Beit Lahiya that it was safe for them to return to their homes, while Israeli troops and tanks also moved away from an area near the south-central Gaza town of Khan Younis.
Meanwhile, cabinet minister Yuval Steinitz said Israel won't be sending a delegation to the proposed truce talks in Cairo, alleging that Hamas' repeated violations of previous cease-fires "leads us to the conclusion that with this organization there is no point speaking" about any deal.
Earlier Saturday, shelling intensified on the southern Gaza town of Rafah as Israeli forces searched for Goldin. At least 35 Palestinians were killed, and the area's main hospital was evacuated, said Palestinian health official Ashraf al-Kidra.
Since hostilities broke out July 8, more than 1,650 Palestinians have died and more than 8,000 have been wounded, al-Kidra said. Israel has lost 63 of its soldiers and three civilians, according to the Israeli military.
Across the Gaza Strip, Palestinian officials reported more than 150 airstrikes Saturday, including several against mosques and one against the Hamas-linked Islamic University in Gaza City.
The Israeli military said it struck 200 targets in the past 24 hours, including five mosques concealing weapons. It said the university was being used as a research and weapons manufacturing site for Hamas.
Gaza militants, meanwhile, have fired 74 rockets at Israel since midnight, the Israeli military said.
Many Israelis say they just want an end to the conflict but only after the mission is accomplished.
"I don't want our government to finish it before we accomplish our objectives: to destroy the tunnels, to take out their rockets and to damage their terrorist infrastructure so that they will not be able to bomb us for a few years," said Bosmat Habani, 25, of Tel Aviv. "I have no illusions that we can achieve peace, but I am hoping we can get some quiet time. They (Hamas) don't want peace."
It's a similar sentiment across the border in Gaza.
"If Israel has got a problem with Hamas then why it does not deal with them directly," asked Omar Melou, 35, who lost members of his family and his home in the conflict. "Why instead does it harm the civilians, kill children and destroy their homes?"
The longer the conflict goes on, the more Gazans see a reason to keep fighting, Melou said.
"The Israelis are helping Hamas to raise its popularity," he said. "People in Gaza want the deaths of their loved ones avenged, whether by Hamas or any other party."
Meanwhile, in Gaza, residents are coping with shortages of power, water and fuel and scrambling to stock up on food supplies and other necessities. The war has severely disrupted daily life with many shops and other businesses shut and hospitals struggling to treat the thousands of wounded.
"It's getting worse — and it was already a dire situation before," said Abu Zaid of Gaza City. "Water stations cannot pump water due to power outages, people cannot watch TV or have light at night or wash — they cannot charge their mobile phones."
In Israel, the conflict has also interrupted daily life, residents say.
"I have much less work," said Habani, who is an actress. "I am sad and upset but I am trying to get on with my life. Yes, it's not comfortable, and we suffer, and we have to get up at weird hours because of missile alerts, but here in Tel Aviv we should not complain too much because people in the south are much worse."

Closed Door Meetings
With the trading deadline a week away, there are closed door meetings going on today in the baseball administration department. GM Ruben Amaro Jr., who was in Clearwater earlier in the week checking out Pedro Martinez, is back in Philly.
It sure will be an interesting week coming up. Stay tuned to phillies.com and beat writer Todd Zolecki's updates.
Home Cooking
After struggling at Citizens Bank Park the first half of the season, the Phillies have turned it around, winning 12 of their last 14 home games. Back to good old home cooking.
During the 14 games, the team batting average is .290; team ERA, 2.91.
Triple Crown
Albert Pujols is bidding to become the National League's first triple crown (average, home runs, RBI) winner in 72 years. Joe Medwick of the Cardinals did it in 1937.
The slugging first baseman has put up some heavy numbers at Citizens Bank Park: .367 average (22-60), 9 homers and 19 RBI.
How do you get him out? Let's try rolling the ball to home plate.
Pedro's Pitch
As noted, Pedro Martinez makes his first start for the Clearwater Threshers in a 4 p.m. game on Sunday at Bright House Field. The opponent? Ironically, the St. Lucie Mets.
Here's a commercial for that game: Sunday is the Threshers first Wet N' Wacky day so remember to bring your squirt gun and bathing suit. Plus, it's a Bright House Networks Family Day where for only $25 you get 4 Premium Box tickets, 4 Hot dogs and 4 sodas (2 pack for $15).
Completing the commercial: to order tickets go online at www.ThreshersBaseball.com.
Wall of Fame
Two weeks from tonight is Toyota Wall of Fame Night. Legendary Hall of Fame broadcaster Harry Kalas is being inducted posthumously during ceremonies that begin at 7 p.m.
Since the Phillies started the Wall of Fame in 1978, Harry was the voice of every induction ceremony. This time he is the inductee.
Wall of Famers who will be here for the ceremonies: Robin Roberts (1978), Senator Jim Bunning (1984), Steve Carlton (1989), Mike Schmidt (1990), Dick Allen (1994), Greg Luzinski (1998), Garry Maddox (2001), Tony Taylor (2002), Bob Boone (2005), Dallas Green (2006) and Juan Samuel (2008).

A Novel Method to Determine HIV Incidence Among Youth

|Condition or disease
|HIV Infection
HIV infection incidence estimates are important, not only for determining specific populations where community HIV education sessions can have the most benefit or where changes in infection patterns are occurring, but also to target these populations for therapeutic interventions and measure their effect in the community. It is estimated that half of all new HIV infections in the United States occur in persons under the age of 25 each year, translating to approximately 20,000 new HIV-infected young people annually.
Incidence can be estimated by testing a cohort of individuals for antibody at two different time periods and observing the number of new infections, or by demonstrating the presence of HIV p24 or viral RNA in antibody-negative persons. Since these strategies are logistically difficult, expensive, and/or require significant laboratory infrastructure, new laboratory-based strategies were devised that can classify individuals as recently infected or with established infection. These serologic assays are known as "sensitive/less sensitive (S/LS) assays". They are based on either the concept of antibody titer or the concept of antibody avidity. There are several S/LS tests available but all of them are performed on serum collected via venipuncture. Based on several studies showing that obtaining saliva is a more desirable method of collection for adolescents receiving HIV testing, it is anticipated that the collection of saliva and its use for determining HIV incidence by S/LS methods among adolescents would be a valuable adjunct for population studies and for increasing compliance for testing and enrollment.
The aim of this study is to prove equivalence between the serum S/LS reference method (CDC validated serum S/LS Dilutional Vironostika (DV) from Organon Teknika) and the experimental method that uses an FDA approved saliva collection device (OraSure Technologies). Our rationale follows a syllogism, i.e., if the serum S/LS EIA (DV) is the best serologic method to determine incidence estimates and a saliva S/LS method is found to perform equivalently, then it follows that the saliva S/LS method can be used effectively to determine incidence. Therefore, our purpose is to show equivalence between the two assays. To address the issue of accuracy, further studies are planned to assess the saliva S/LS test against seroconversion panels where the exact time of acquisition of HIV infection is known.
This is a cross-sectional, laboratory-based study designed to develop and evaluate a saliva-based S/LS assay for differentiating individuals with recent HIV infection (less than 133 days) from those with established HIV infection. A total of 440 subjects will be recruited in the study. A serum and two saliva samples will be obtained from every subject. The first 40 patient samples will be used to develop and calibrate the saliva-based S/LS method. The remaining patient samples will be tested using the calibrated saliva based S/LS assay and the reference serum S/LS assay and concordance between the two methods will be analyzed.

WHITTLING the list down to a top five proved a difficult task for James Constable.
After all, what makes a goal special? Is a tap-in to win a big game better than a thumping volley which is just a mere consolation?
Memorable efforts against Luton Town and Crawley Town, both of which came after missed penalties, were close to making the list, as was the spectacular strike against Torquay United in August 2013.
- End of an era as Oxford United ace Beano leaves for Eastleigh
Instead, he opted to begin with a goal which isn't on the list at all.
Goal 1 v Oxford City (pre-season friendly) Marsh Lane, August, 2008
"It was probably one of the most nervous times I have had leading into any game.
"It was my first game and I was desperate to try and show what I was capable of doing.
"I put a lot of pressure on myself and I had literally only signed that day. I managed to get a goal and it gave me that confidence to think I could hopefully have a long time here.
"The ball came across and I just managed to get my right foot on it. It was bending away and got out of reach of the keeper.
"The second it went in the pressure was off."
And here are the top four of his 106-goal tally for the U's.
Goal 2 v York City (Blue Square Premier play-off final) Wembley, May 16, 2010
"I had been at Wembley before with Kidderminster in the FA Trophy final three years earlier. We lost 3-2 against Stevenage, having been 2-0 up at half-time.
"I scored two, but I'd had that feeling at the final whistle where the bottom of your world has fallen out.
"With Oxford, we started well and Matt Green scored one of the best goals I've seen him get.
"For my strike, Greeny flicked it on and I ran onto it. The goal looked tiny and I wanted to get a really good first touch, which took me on to my left.
"I remember thinking 'this isn't ideal' because I'd have rather had it on my right.
"I could see a couple of defenders coming, so I had to hit it.
"I managed to keep it low and I knew it was a clean strike. I just remember it going under the keeper and rolling up the back of the net.
"I think I'll struggle to relive that rush of emotion. That made it 2-0 and I thought to myself there was no way they were going to come back and score three.
"I didn't have a voice by the end of the game and I was on the verge of bursting into tears."
Goal 3 v Swindon Town (League Two) County Ground, August 21, 2011
"Having grown up in and around that area I knew about the rivalry between the teams.
"There was all the stuff leading up to it about the fact I was a Swindon fan, even though I'd been supporting Tottenham for years.
"It all built towards the game and gave us that little bit of added incentive.
"There was so much flying around, but we went there full of confidence, although we knew it was going to be a difficult game.
"All I remember was it being absolutely boiling. It felt like 100 degrees out there and with all the noise it drained your energy.
"I don't think I can really claim the second one as a great goal, but I've picked the first one from the corner.
"Levs (Peter Leven) put a great ball in, we had worked on spinning and getting to the near post it worked an absolute treat, I managed to block my marker and get a free header six yards out.
- Celebrating scoring in the derby in front of the away end
"We rode our luck at times in the second half and just managed to get over the line.
"We came off the pitch and everyone was sat in the changing room with absolutely nothing left.
"The whole day was draining, it was an amazing experience with the fans turning up in massive numbers.
"It almost felt like we had won something.
"There was so much build-up that it felt like a cup final. It felt like more than three points."
Goal 4 v Rochdale (League Two) Kassam Stadium, August 31, 2013
"My daughter Amelia was born on the Thursday, so to have my girlfriend Laura there with my daughter was special.
"It had been a rollercoaster couple of days being a new dad, so to score and for her to be there is something I'll never forget.
"By the time she's grown up, my career will probably not be where it is now.
"It's a shame, but I've got plenty of pictures and DVDs that I'm looking forward to being able to tell her all about it."
Goal 5 v Mansfield Town (League Two) Field Mill, November 16, 2013
"I was on the bench that day but Deano (Deane Smalley) went off injured.
"I hadn't touched the ball when Kits (Dave Kitson) played it to Ryan (Williams) and he did brilliantly to get to the byline and cut it back.
"I can remember it coming to me almost in slow motion. I knew I was on 99 goals and I thought 'I've just got to get it on target'.
"I thought it was bobbling wide, but at the last second it came back, hit the post and went in.
"All I could think about were the times at Kidderminster when we'd lost and being at Chippenham, working and being dropped.
"It was strange that all I could think about were all the disappointments I'd had that led to this point.
"I couldn't have been happier, we were in a great position in the game and I was just over the moon that I'd finally got the 100th goal."

Hiya! I am currently pursuing a major in computer science. It is only my second semester at college, so that makes me still a freshman.
Today was my first day of spring semester and I already received a huge programming assignment that is due two weeks from today. I plan on being an active member so that I can be more than just an "average" student. I want my programs to be spectacular!
Unfortunately I am new to programming in java. One of my computer classes is Computer Organization and Programming, which is a sophomore class. This is the class that gave me the programming assignment and the reason why I joined this forum today.
Personally I am a bit nervous because the teacher expects all the students to know how to do it without a lesson on it, since its a sophomore class. Dropping the class is not an option because I am not that type of person and like a challenge. I am not looking or asking for any freebie answers to my assignments, if I was that would ruin the whole point of me taking this class, lol. I am looking for suggestions and tips on improving the programs I will be making and I believe this place is the best for that.
Thanks to all who took the time to read all this.

Census Records for Vermont
This entry was originally written by Scott Andrew Bartley and Alice Eichholz, Ph.D., CG for Red Book: American State, County, and Town Sources.
Population Schedules
• Indexed'1790 (1791), 1800, 1810, 1820, 1830, 1840, 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880, 1900, 1910, 1920, 1930 • Soundex'1880, 1900, 1920
Industry and Agriculture Schedules
• 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880
Mortality Schedules
• 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880 (all indexed)
Union Veterans Schedules
• 1890 (indexed)
Vermont became a state in 1791 and took the first federal census that year. This census is usually mislabeled as the '1790 census.' Families in other states may be listed on that state's 1790 census and again in Vermont's a year later, having migrated in the interim. The Vermont Historical Society (see Vermont Archives, Libraries, and Societies) published the full 1800 census, which was reissued in a reprint edition in 1972 by Genealogical Publishing Company. Countywide 1870 census heads-of-household indexes for Windham and Windsor were privately published by Joan M. Morris in separate volumes (1977, 1980). All of Vermont's federal population census records are indexed and available online through subscription databases (see page 17).
The 1810 and 1820 censuses for some Vermont towns include a tally of such things as the number of yards of material made on the premises and the amount of lumber milled. When using the census records, care should be taken to consider alternate spelling, especially for French-Canadians, Italian, and Greek names of new immigrants after 1850.
Original and microfilm copies of the 1850, 1860, 1870, and 1880 population, industry, and agriculture schedules and microfilm of the mortality schedules and microfilm copies of all population schedules are located at Vermont Department of Libraries, State Office Bldg., 109 State St., Montpelier, VT 05609-0601 <http://dol.state.vt.us/> although originals are restricted for general research purposes.
The so-called 1771 Census by Jay Mack Holbrook (Oxford, Mass.: Holbrook Research, 1982) is not an 'official' census. It is a collection of names associated with Vermont in 1771 drawn from several sources in New York, New Hampshire, and Connecticut as well as Vermont. It does include the official New York census for 1771 for Cumberland and Glouster counties (covering land now in Vermont) that was published in Callaghan (see Background Sources). Many of the names listed were granted land but never lived in Vermont. Checking the appearance of the name in the original source should help clarify this.

SAN JOSE — A man is in the hospital with wounds not believed to be life-threatening after he was shot on the 100 block of Hayes Avenue about 5:45 p.m. Monday in what police are investigating as a gang-related attack.
Officers responding to reports that someone had been gunned down found a 20-year-old San Jose man suffering from at least one bullet wound near the intersection of Hayes and Lean avenues in the Blossom Valley neighborhood of South San Jose.
No suspects were identified, and those responsible for the shooting remain at large, police said.
Police said they are "exploring the possibility that the shooting was gang related," but said the investigation is ongoing and did not provide any further information Monday evening.

It's time to get Taboo on Tuesday. Once again WWE has brought out the PPV
that allows the fans to pick what happens, or so they say. While that statement
seems more believable this year, it doesn't seem as though the fans
have... full authority. Nevertheless, let's entertain the thought and move on.
After all the warm-up matches, elimination matches and voting was complete,
"The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels was determined as the third man for the main event, joining Kurt Angle and John Cena in the triple threat match for the WWE
Cena wasted no time going after his opposition, flatlining both men and
laying them out to pasture. Though he was on spaghetti legs, Michaels fired back
with some crushing blows that gave him some time in the driver's seat. As
Cena and Michaels rallied back and forth against each other, Angle found time
to gather his thoughts and gain the upperhand.
Angle hit a few German suplexes, but was not able to make a quick pin. All
three men tried to hit their finishers, but none could. Out of nowhere,
Michaels joined up with Cena, and the beatdown on the champ ensued. The newfound
faction then took Cena and threw him shoulder first into the ringpost, sending
him to the floor, where the flapjacked him through the Spanish announcers
With Cena seemingly out of the equation, the pact soon broke, with Angle
going right to town on the facial features of "The Heartbreak Kid." Michaels
fought out of a bodyscissor and ascended the ropes, only to get Angle Slammed
off the top rope for a two count. Cena finally reentered the ring and met Angle
and Michaels with a series of clotheslines, knocking Angle to the floor.
Cena went for a Five Knuckle Shuffle, but was pulled out by Angle.
With all three men back in the ring, Angle belly-to-bellied Michaels over
the top rope and to the floor. From there, Angle caught Cena in the Ankle Lock,
and began tearing away at Cena's ankle. Michaels fought his way back in and
dropped an elbow from the top on Angle before Cena could tap. Michaels set up
and hit Angle with Sweet Chin Music before walking into an F-U from Cena for
the one-two-three. This match was everything it was cracked up to be and
more. Great main event.
WWE Taboo Tuesday 2005 Results:
Match One - Raw vs SmackDown! Interpromotional Match - Gene Snitsky and "The
Masterpiece" Chris Masters vs Matt Hardy and Rey Mysterio
Prior to the match getting underway, Lita and Edge took their turns on the
microphone and said that Edge would not be wrestling. Edge went on to say that he
didn't care about the fans or Raw, only about himself. He announced his
replacement -- Gene Snitsky. Edge and Lita left, and the match got underway. Masters
jumped both men from behind and immediately went to work, smothering the
SmackDown! team. It should also be noted that two referees were put in this match,
one for Raw and one for SmackDown! Mysterio used his quickness to mount a
comeback, which Hardy followed up by planting Snitsky off the ropes with a
superplex/brainbuster. However, a great size differential helped to gain Raw the
upperhand. Hardy was kept isolated from the SmackDown! side of the ring, due
to the mat wrestling skills of Snitsky and Masters... that's right I said their
mat wrestling skills. When Hardy did break free, Mysterio got the tag and put
some of his frequent flyer miles to great use. Mysterio got locked in The
Masterlock, which Lawler still thinks has never been broken. Mysterio pushed
off and had the pin on Masters while the lock was still on, but the Raw referee
stopped the count at two. All four men got involved, Snitsky was sent to the
floor and Masters was wrapped up with a 6-1-9, Twist of Fate and a West
Coast Pop. Good opening match, though it's too bad Christian didn't get one last chance to
shine. Masters and Snitsky have both improved vast amounts.
Winners Via Pinfall - Matt Hardy and Rey Mysterio
Match Rating - 7/10
Mick Foley was shown talking backstage to Maria. Foley asks if there luggage
was mixed up, displaying a lingerie top. Maria is shown wearing a Mankind
mask. The camera goes back to Foley, who is handed the mask, as well as his
"Gear," a bra and panties. She tells Mick to have a nice day, to which he
replies "I think I just did." Funny segment.
Match Two - Rob Conway and Tyson Tomko vs Eugene and Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka
Conway and Tomko just demolished Eugene, until two miscues led to their
demise. Once Snuka got the tag in, it was all over. Tomko got well acquainted
with the ringside fans, while Conway received a pair of headbutts, some chops, a
slam and a Superfly Splash. After the match, Tomko attacked Snuka. As the
assault was going on, "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan and "The Ugandan Giant" Kamala came
out to make the save. Tomko was met with a clothesline from Duggan and splash
from Kamala as the legends and Eugene stood tall.
Winners Via Pinfall - Eugene & Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka
Match Rating - 5/10
Match Three - Carlito Caribbean Cool vs Mankind
Back and forth opening, with both men exchanging blows. It took no time for
the fight to spill out to the floor, with Mankind grabbing a chair, only to
have it blasted into his face via a drop toe hold into the steel steps.
Carlito was quick to bring things back inside the squared circle, applying a
chinlock on Mankind. Mankind was able to get back to a vertical base and go "Old
School" on Carlito with a running knee and an elbow drop off the ring apron.
The double underhook DDT dazed Carlito, leading to the Carlito version of Mr.
Socko (Mr. Socko with an afro), being shoved down the gullet of the cool one.
Winner Via Submission - Mankind
Match Rating - 5/10
In his office, Eric Bischoff was complaining to someone on his cell phone
until Vince McMahon entered. McMahon told Bischoff that he could not wait for
the Raw vs SmackDown! tag team match. Bischoff told McMahon that it already
happened and that Raw lost. McMahon got upset and asked Bischoff where that
fire was, the same fire that Bischoff had when he tried to run McMahon out of
business. McMahon told Bischoff he was on his own for the next Raw vs
SmackDown! match between Coach and Batista. Bischoff went to talk to McMahon, but he
had already left, leaving Bischoff very angry.
Mankind was shown joining WWE Instant Access to answer some questions online.
Next up, Todd Grisham ran down the voting results for the World Heavyweight
Championship. And the winner is..."The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels.
Michaels was congratulated by Big Show, but not by Kane.
Match Four - World Tag Team Championship Match - Lance Cade and Trevor
Murdoch (C) vs Kane and The Big Show
I like Cade and Murdoch, for whatever reason, they just seem to be the perfect tag team. They have the look and they appear to be learning well, a great
combination. For a large portion of the match, Cade and Murdoch were
manhandled. Cade and Murdoch got in some offence, thanks to a "Sweet and Sour" on the
floor. Big Show got the tag, and as was the theme in these tag matches,
Murdoch was sent to the floor as a double chokeslam was delivered up to Cade. Post
match, Todd Grisham came in to interview the new champs, but they stopped him
so they could hit Murdoch was a double chokeslam before leaving.
Winners Via Pinfall and NEW World Tag Team Champions - Kane and The Big Show
Match Rating - 6/10
In some secluded lockeroom area, Vader is shown warming up. Goldust entered
the room and did one of his famous promos. The Coach came in next and talked
about slapping Batista. He went on to say that after what they did to
Batista, there was no telling how far they could go. He finished up by saying that
it wouldn't be long before the fans heard, "Jonathan Coachman...WWE Champion."
Todd Grisham brought us back to the Taboo Tuesday Control Center, where he
introduced the divas and tallied the votes for their match, concluding that
the divas would be wearing...lingerie.
Match Five - Street Fight - Jonathan Coachman w/ Goldust and Vader vs "The
Animal" Batista
Batista went wild on all three men. With the exception of a few kendo stick
shots and belt whips, it was all Batista. After gaining possession of the
belt, Batista took out Vader and Goldust and planted The Coach with a Batista
Winner Via Pinfall - "The Animal" Batista
Match Rating - 4/10
In the interview area, Todd Grisham stood by with "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn
Michaels. Michaels was talking about the WWE Championship, until he was
interrupted by Kurt Angle. Angle asked Michaels to team up with him. Michaels
said he would think about it, but Angle told him that he better think good.
Match Six - WWE Women's Championship Fufill Your Fantasy Lingerie Diva Battle
Royal - Trish Stratus (C) vs Mickie James vs Maria vs Victoria vs Candice
Michelle vs Ashley
A lot of hair pulling and kicking in the beginning.
Elimination 1 - Maria
Michelle saved herself from going over next, but some showboating cost her
dearly, as Ashley made the elimination.
Elimination 2 - Candice Michelle
With actual wrestlers in the ring, the match shifted gears. Victoria used
the catapult to dispose of Ashley.
Elimination 3 - Ashley
Stratus used an amazing tilt-a-whirl headscissors to her advantage. Stratus
and Victoria tried to eliminate one another, until James made the save.
Victoria then clotheslined James and the two began fighting, ending with James
sacrificing herself for Stratus and eliminating herself and Victoria.
Elimination 4 - Victoria
Elimination 5 - Mickie James
Todd Grisham went to interview Stratus, but James interrupted and began
cheering on Stratus and talking about how amazing she was.
Winner and STILL WWE Women's Champion - Trish Stratus
Match Rating - 3/10
Todd Grisham ran down the voting on the Ric Flair/HHH bout, leading to...
Match Seven - WWE Intercontinental Championship Steel Cage Match - "The
Nature Boy" Ric Flair (C) vs HHH
Out of the blocks, Flair and HHH went right at each other, chops blazing and
fists pounding. HHH quickly made the necessary adjustments, catching Flair
with a spinebuster and proceeding to beat his face in. Following up that
brutal beatdown, HHH picked up the champ and threw him face first into the steel
mesh, busting him wide open. Mocking "The Nature Boy," HHH rolled up his knee
pad, shouted a "Wooo" and dropped the exposed knee right on the crimson face
of Flair. In an attempt to further open the gash on Flair's head, HHH used a
steel chain wrapped around his fist, throwing punch after punch. After
mocking the champ some more, HHH did a strut and locked on The Figure Four Leglock.
Flair reversed the Figure Four, but HHH continued to roll through, reaching
the ropes and forcing the break. HHH taunted some more, and went to lock on
another Figure Four, but he was sent face first into the steel, opening his
forehead up as well. From there, Flair went nuts on HHH, taking him completely
off his "Game." Flair locked on a Figure Four of his own, but HHH grabbed the
ref and threw him on top of Flair, causing the break. Flair tried to escape
the cage, but HHH was hot on his tail, Flair knowing HHH was behind him,
turned around and hit "The Game" with a flying clothesline for a two count. Flair
tried to exit the ring through the door, but HHH grabbed him as Flair
grabbed a chair. HHH stepped on the chair as it was brought in, crushing Flair's
hand. HHH went to hit Flair while he was down, but Flair grabbed a hold of his
southern anatomy and went to work with some chops, some fists and three wicked
chair shots, allowing "The Nature Boy" to leave the cage, still champion.
Winner via Exiting The Cage and STILL Champion - "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair
Match Rating - 7/10
Match Eight - WWE Championship Triple Threat Match - John Cena (C) vs Kurt
Angle vs "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels
Winner Via Pinfall and STILL WWE Champion - John Cena
Match Rating - 8/10
Overall Event Rating - 7/10
Raw continues to dominate on PPV. They have the method down and are
utilizing it to perfection. While Taboo Tuesday was a near repeat of itself -- Divas
Battle Royal, new tag champs, Michaels winning the Heavyweight title spot, Ric
Flair in a cage, etc. -- it was still one of the most enjoyable PPVs that WWE
has delivered recently. Keep up the good work Raw... and SmackDown! take some
Chris Sokol is from Long Island, NY and wonders if Jimmy Snuka planned on
moving during his match.
