Ah yes, the old victory formation. How does that go, again? Oh yeah ... Capping a triumphant offensive exhibition in which they punted in each of their last nine possessions of the game, Browns quarterback Brandon Weeden kneed his way to victory Sunday by taking one in the last three plays of the team's electrifying 7-6 win over the can-we-go-back-to-California-now? San Diego Chargers. Hey, a win's a win. Style points don't matter. That's good, because this one had all the style of a tractor pull. In Jimmy Haslam's first home game as owner the Browns out-scored the Chargers 7-0 in the first quarter and the Chargers out-scored the Browns 6-0 in the last three quarters. The wind blew and sheets of rain fell in all four quarters. "We had to get eight points and we couldn't do it," San Diego quarterback Philip Rivers said. "I just told myself, 'Don't be a moron and screw something up when we have a chance to win,'" Weeden said. At kickoff the temperature was 44 degrees, with a 19 mph wind that translated into a wind-chill factor of 36 degrees -- and both team's quarterback's numbers proved it. Weeden, the old baseball pitcher, said the weather forced him to throw some palm balls, and he had to "shot put" some others. He only completed 11 of his 27 heaves, and posted a paltry quarterback rating of 55.9. "My numbers weren't pretty, but I couldn't care less, as long as we got the win," he said. Because a win's a win. The Browns ought to know -- they've only got two. Your gut tells you that all a win does in this kind of rebuilding, re-ownering, seat-of-the-pants type of just-get-it-over-with season is hurt the Browns' draft position for next year's college lottery. On the other hand, the fans that showed up for Sunday's frosty sloshfest deserve SOMETHING. The stadium was barely half filled for most of the game -- and with good reason. There are better ways to spend a Sunday afternoon than watching a 1-6 football team in 1-6 weather. It was the kind of day that demanded a running game, but with the Browns' top running back battling a case of sore ribs, and the Chargers being No.1 in the league in rushing defense, the chances of the Browns having a big day on the ground seemed about as good as the fans in the stands getting sun burned. So naturally the Browns won with some Trentch Warfare. In his biggest day as a pro Trent Richardson ran 24 times for 122 yards, which put his yards per-carry average of 5.1 up there in Jim Brown territory. "He was the spark that we needed, and we were able to run on a very good defense," Weeden said. Ribs? What ribs? "They were way better this week," Richardson said. "The pain was way better." Either that or his ribs were just numb. "I'm still thawing out," said Richardson after the game. "The guys were telling me, 'This isn't cold' and I looked at the temperature and said, 'Are you sure this isn't cold?'" Richardson scored the only touchdown of the game on a 26-yard charge through the guts of the Chargers' defense. The Chargers, who were outscored 35-0 in the second half of their previous game, vs. Denver, haven't scored a touchdown in their last six quarters. For much of Sunday's game the Chargers offense didn't look like it wanted to even BE in Cleveland, much less being asked to score eight points. Even with that, however, San Diego still out-gained the Browns in total yardage 265-250. But a win's a win, and a defense that anchors it is a defense that anchors it -- the Chargers were held to two field goals. "Our defense won us that football game," Weeden said. "They played their tails off." For most of the day it was boring, leather helmet-era smash mouth football, played on a cold and rainy and windy day between two going-nowhere teams in a half-filled stadium. "Those were less than perfect conditions for throwing and kicking the football. So we knew it would be a close-to-the-vest game," said Browns coach Pat Shurmur, who even on the best of days if he coached any closer to his vest he'd be married to it. "Before the game," Shurmur said, "I told the guys, 'Let's go out for three hours and play like a bunch of kids playing in the rain." So they did. Then they came in out of the rain and celebrated. Because a win's a win. Even for bad teams.
It wasn't pretty, but a win's a win for the Cleveland Browns (Speaking of sports)

The Archives...Up in the air I Fly
This is one from the archives!
I am scheduling this post literally an hour before we leave for another flight!
I can only hope I have learnt these lessons well enough to not repeat the same mistakes!
Wish me luck!!!
We are home!!!
We had a lovely time away but it is good to be back into the routine of our daily lives
(did I just say that?)
Travelling with two little ones by myself was as eventful as I had predicted,
but I did make some mental notes for next time.
1. Do not dress your children in white for travelling. EVER.
2. Do not give children in white, M&M's on the plane unless you are going for the rainbow clown look on arrival. Freddo frogs are just as bad, cheese and bacon balls, forget it.
3. M&M packets are hard to open whilst juggling an infant on your lap. Contrary to popular belief, air hostesses do not have permanent smiles on their face, especially whilst trying to dodge rolling M&M's with their food trolley.
4. Do not tell your child they can watch a movie on the plane until you definitely know that
a) they have movies on the plane
b)the movies will not be M rated
c) you have the ability to juggle an infant, whilst trying to get your credit card out of your purse and swipe it through a ridiculously small slot without elbowing your other child in the face.
5. Do not let your infant fall asleep on your lap with their head towards the aisle. You will either risk them being hit by that ridiculously large food trolley, a man posing as a giant as he goes to the toilet or attempting to move them closer towards you, without waking them up whilst trying to open the packet of M&M's....impossible. Face them the other way and risk being hit in the head with the arm rest as the other child continually raises it to try and put the head phone socket in. If your infant can not sleep sitting up, with their massive metal seatbelt clasp in their back and the tray table centimetres from their face,
perhaps don't expect them to sleep at all.
6. An adult and two children can not fit into an airplane toilet cubicle AND go to the toilet. If you are willing to attempt it...
place the infant in the wash basin, sitting up.
Hold them with one hand.
Lean against the door. HOLD the child going to the toilet with your legs.
Use your spare hand to hold the child's shirt so it is not peed on.
Be sure to lock the door before you scar the immaculately dressed air hostess for life.
If it is you who needs go to the toilet,
forget it or invest in nappies for all three of you.
But we survived, we are home,
with a few orange stained shirts and extra bruises but none the less, we made it!

Recipe of the week ~ Tiramisu ~ The Cheat's Version
This is not your "authentic" tiramisu recipe.
Tiramisu traditionally has Marsala (alchohol) Strong Coffee and Raw eggs.
But to make it a bit more family and pregnant women friendly here is a cheats version!
These are not mine but don't they look divine!
5OOml double cream
250g tub mascarpone
5 tbsp caster sugar
Iced coffee milk.
175g pack sponge fingers (Savoiardi Biscuits)
2 Cadbury Flake Bars
What to do?
Whisk together the cream, mascarpone and caster sugar.
Pour your iced coffee into a shallow dish and dip the biscuits for a minute or two in the mixture. Do not let them soak for too long!
Layer the biscuits and cream into a large dish or even individual dishes.
Instead of shaving chocolate over the top just break a little of the flake chocolate bars over the top to serve!
Refrigerate for a few hours until the Tiramisu appears to have "set"

Me + IKEA = Idea - Launch Station Part 2
So I had an idea.
For our family to have a place in our home that will help make us more organised.
I had some inspiration.
Ok so it was more like dreaming, but it did provide me with a foundation on which to build.
I had the perfect place to shop and the perfect shopping buddy...
with Katrina from
The Organised Housewife.
Ok so there was lots of blog talk and of course we had to have breakfast in the Ikea restaurant, but we also did lots of shopping, well three hours worth actually!
I found lots of bits and pieces but my biggest find was
STUVA, a new range from IKEA appears to be targeted towards kids rooms but
IKEA does versatility like no one else.
This range comes in so many varied colours, combinations, and add ons it is great for any room or decor!
Oh how I love IKEA!
This storage combination is AMAZING!
Believe it or not I don't think I need this whole set but it provides great inspiration!
In particular I love the bench seat with HUGE storage drawers underneath.
I dont really have need for cupboards for such big cupboards in our space.
The first item on the wish list are the..
Bench drawers.
Perfect for storing school bags, hand bags, violins, out of sight!
I am thinking two of these side by side under our big window with
some gorgeous cushions on top.
The perfect spot for reading those home readers!
Naturally you can even choose what style of drawer you prefer.
For me personally, our decor suits this more classic style with its simple black handles.
The configurations in this range are endless!
Two large bottom drawers and a top cupboard.
There is a combination to suit any storage problem!
IKEA is also budget friendly and it is easy to buy what you need
or can afford now and build on it bit by bit.
But wait there's more...
Remember that versatility?
The drawer pulls out and it becomes a desk, perfect for the first few years of school!
So what do you think? Is it going to work?
Have you been to Ikea lately?
Spill the beans, what did you buy??

The Launch Station
Remember the "My Pigeon Pair" organisation station?
Well it has been working well but in my
wisdom I have decided that the whole corner of the house needs an over haul.
With Master O starting school next year we need more than an organisation station we need a
"launch station".
So what is a launch station?
A central place in your house where you can "launch" from each day!
We would love ours to hold,
school bags, handbags, library bags,
notes, calendars,
a space for mobile phones and even a place to sit and read the home readers!
Naturally I was able to find numerous gorgeous pictures for inspiration, but all the inspiration in the world means nothing if it doesn't have a purpose!
Lots of storage space and love the hooks but nowhere to sit!
Love the organising sections on the wall and the bench but those drawers are not big enough a school bag!
Love this is as a reading space!
This fits our corner perfectly with it's shape!
Love the BIG drawers and blackboard
Have to love a splash of colour!
small but practical
almost perfect but we don't really need a space for jackets in our climate!
Love the BIG drawers and noticeboards
very practical but nowhere to sit!
Just gorgeous sitting place but no drawers!
drum roll........
If only you had the money, the space and the design know how!
So what do you do when the pictures still don't give you your answers.
You do the kindy drop off, pack plenty of snacks and head to....
What better IKEA shopping buddy then....
The Organised Housewife!
Wish us luck!

What's for dinner? Meal Planning with The Organised Housewife
Pumpkin and Tuna Pasta
Ok so I have posted this one before, but we have more pumpkins than halloween at our place.
This sounds like a strange combination but it is AMAZING!
Just grate some pumpkin.
Let it cook until soft in a frypan with some olive oil and onion.
Add a tin of drained tuna.
Add a splash of lemon juice and pinch of salt and pepper.
Serve mixed through your favourite pasta!
Chicken Pie
We love chicken but I have been searching for some different ideas as to what to do with it!
I use a bread base and puff pasty top with a chicken, leek and cream filling.
Mexican Meatballs
This is a new one for us. I was looking for a few cost effective, child friendly recipes and this one appeared!
My kids love corn chips and I just know they are going to love this!
It would also make a great lunchbox treat!
Recipe and Picture ~ Here
Spinach and Ricotta Canelloni
This weeks meat free meal.
The trick here is to buy the Latina Fresh past sheets.
Line them with your filling and then roll!
Sure beats trying to fill those fiddly tubes!
This one is great for leftovers!
Morrocan Lamb Casserole
I love using the slow cooker!
Just through the lamb and veggies in with one of these slow cooker Recipe Bases and you have a quick and easy meal!
I serve this one with rice.
Recipe ~ Here
Beef Fajitas
An easy build your own dinner!
These kits were on special for $5 at Woolworths!
Freezer Find
Baking - Tiramisu (the non alcoholic cheats version)
Picture from taste.com
Egg less and non alcoholic

Roger Federer is still full of promise. His recent performances reveal that he is in great shape and playing close with Novak Djokovic and Rafa Nadal.
All he needs to do is fix a few mishaps on his forehand and regain the confidence in what was at one time the best forehand in the world.
Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray and Juan Martin del Potro are superb performers, but Roger, technically, is still the best player that ever lived, while Serena is his female counterpart.
I had the privilege to practice or compete with several generation players, from Pancho Gonzalez, Rod Laver, to John Newcombe and more, and coach Guga Kuerten and Bjorn Borg for his second comeback. None were as complete and as gifted as Roger. He has a new dimension of efficiency and natural use of the body for every tennis task.
I would venture that if he can get rid of a few misconceptions that have impaired his timing and strokes, he could be, in 2014, on the driver's seat once more.
And for yourself, keep this in mind:
How does the body work best through any stroke? Actually, it is with a lift, not by staying down like the fables of old. Even on modern volleys, the body goes up while the arm strikes down and across with a stop. Conventional coaching differs: "Stay down", "Follow the ball". It has many misconceptions, in fact more than 20 trite ideas that make tennis a much more difficult sport than it actually is. More at:
http://tennisteacher.com/Secrets.html and http://tennisteacher.com/eBook.html
Oscar Wegner
Views: 62
He is close, Tim, but he needs to address more directly what I describe in my article. Read it again carefully.
So why hasn't Roger dominated 2014?
the level of game displayed by federer in last two tournaments before the world tour final is phenomenal, currently only jokovick n nadal are playing slightly better than him..good luck federer as "many little johny wants to see u play"

Rare Sumatran Rhino captured by camera trap
3:35 PM | Posted by Andy Hearn | Edit Post
After running camera traps almost continuously over two years we have just captured our first photos of the critically endangered Sumatran Rhino!! These two images of a young female rhino confirm the continued presence of this species within Sabah. However, the fact that these remain to be the only photos we have obtained, and that this is only the second time a rhino has been photographed in this region, highlights the severity of the threat to the rhinos' continued existence.

text: Amadeus - A HTPC skin for foobar2k! (Preview) 2012-06-05 19:43:02 Using the spare time I had I have finally completing my design on my quest for HTPC skin for foobar2k! I'm actually very content and satisfy with it!! =============Introductory Note=============First of all, the screenshot that you are seeing IS NOT XBMC! It is actually foobar2k! Designed purely using panel splitter and columns UI!Being both of XBMC and foobar2k, it has always been my wildest dream to have a HTPC full skin for foobar2k. I have tried HTPC full screen panel which is essentially a WSH Panel Mod but it didn't really come to my preference. And I definitely like the HTPC skin in foobar2k much much much ... better!Since I manage all my musics using foobar2k and like to use custom tag, I find XBMC to not be suited for such job. Main reason being that I had used foobar2k for such a long time to micromanage all my music. Another reason is I do not wish to import all my music AGAIN to another piece of software just to playback the music. Final reason being that I like to select the type of tag (display) that I wanted to view. Hence it is inevitable that the obvious choice is to design a skin for such purpose. Even I myself is happy with the final work!====================What this skin lack... or so====================Keyboard navigation. Actually this is not a feature implementable by this skin, but the core of foobar2k itself.======Credits======A huge thanks to XBMC for inspiring me to design this skin! And of course to foobar2k for constantly being developed and improved!!Link to Amadeus

Process Type Foundry partners with Typekit
The wait is over. Process Type Foundry is now offering seven of their families for use as web fonts, including Bryant 2, Bryant Compressed, Bryant Condensed, Klavika, Klavika Condensed, Locator, and Seravek. You may have already spotted a few of them in the Lost World's Fairs project; now, you can use these same sleek, sturdy, and thoroughly useful fonts in your own projects, too.
A sampling of the new web fonts available from Process Type Foundry.
Similar to our partnership with FontShop, if you buy any of these fonts from Process Type Foundry you can host them on Typekit with any of our plans (including our free Trial Plan). If you're already a Typekit user, that means absolutely no extra cost to you.
It's really easy to get started. Just follow a link to Typekit once you've completed your purchase at the Process Type Foundry website. Your new fonts will be instantly transferred to your Typekit account, and linked through the simple line of code you've already added to your site. They'll automatically work in every browser that supports @font-face, including those that don't support WOFF or EOT, like Safari, Chrome, and earlier versions of Firefox. And we'll seamlessly upgrade them in the future as Process Type Foundry and the browsers evolve their web font support.
We're so excited that Process Type Foundry fonts are now available for use on the web. And we're thrilled that the fine folks at Process Type Foundry have chosen to partner with Typekit in order to "make the task of implementing @font-face much easier."

FINALLY!! I've been waiting for this since the beginning of TypeKit. Thanks!
Are Process Type Foundry fonts available to all Typekit users, or just those who purchase a Process font? Fontshop faces are available both ways, but I can't find Process fonts when I login to my Typekit account.
It looks like the fonts might not actually be in the Typekit library — I can't find them anywhere.
They are definitely worth buying for desktop use or even just for web use. I have several of theirs and they look fantastic in all kinds of treatments.
Awe, man — I was really hoping Maple would be included. Maybe soon…
I'm getting this image http://processtypefoundry.com/images/css/oops.png, using Firefox 3.6.10 and Chrome.
Any ideas?
that's great news!. It's a good start for better thing to come. Woof!
It's crazy sometimes how Typekit is so unresponsive to their customers' problems. Reflects really badly on them and annoys us too.
Nice move, i`m very satisfied with you guys, thanks !
manuel > That was a CSS error on our part – a misuse of the Typekit font loading classes. Should be fixed now. Oops indeed!
And if you're interested in using our fonts with Typekit, head on over to our site first and find the webfont or desktop/webfont you're interested in. Once your purchase is complete, you'll receive a link to send your fonts to Typekit and, like magic, they'll show up in your Typekit account. Hope that helps…
– Process Type Foundry
big deal Process Type. It would be much better to have these selected typefaces available under one of the subscription plans rather than have to buy the font, then purchase an additional @font-face license.
I got it that way. Really a pity it isn't included in the plans…
Well Micheal, not here to defend typekit or anybody but you have to realise that designing typefaces actually takes a huge amount of time.
You should be happy that there are plans that allow you to use hundreds of fonts for a really low price, you have to realise that this is already a luxury. Look at the prices for individual weights of fonts on foundries and you'see how lucky you are that typekit makes such offers.
People have been spoiled because in all the software they license (microsoft, adobe…), the fonts SEEMED to be free, but actually these company spend a lot of money to make typefaces available for their customers, and this allows the type designers to live.
I thought the Typekit model was that we paid a single licence fee and a wide range (for the higher plans) of high-quality fonts were available in our kits.
Instead I find that many of the fonts are unusable in Windows browsers, and now the new well-designed fonts cost extra. Hmm.
is there any way to preview the process-fonts for the different browsers/systems before buying?
To answer some questions… When you purchase Process Type Foundry webfonts, you're getting more than just their use in Typekit – you get WOFFs and EOTs that you can host and serve yourself. This is a deviation from how you may be used to using Typekit, but it offers designers implementation flexibility both in the short- and long-term.
To preview the fonts, we have live specimens for each weight on our website. For example, here's Klavika Light and its Italic…

EASTON (AP) — The three Republicans running in the state's U.S. Senate special election have sparred in their first debate of the campaign.
Norfolk state Rep. Daniel Winslow, former U.S. Attorney Michael Sullivan and Cohasset businessman Gabriel Gomez jousted on everything from the recent across-the-board spending cuts to the use of the filibuster in the Senate.
The three also agreed on many issues raised in the Tuesday night matchup at Stonehill College.
All three hailed Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul's recent filibuster, calling it a legitimate tactic to force the Obama administration to clarify its drone policy.
The three also faulted Washington for failing to reach a deal to avoid $85 billion in spending cuts.
Gomez said senators should be limited to two terms and Sullivan and Winslow said they'd pledge not to serve more than two terms.

News from the world of Maths
Only four days to go until the start of the London 2012 Olympic Games! To get into the spirit, we cast our minds back to one of our favourite features of the 2008 Beijing Games: the beautiful aquatics venue, known as the water cube. Looking like it had been sliced from a giant bubble foam, the design was based on an unsolved maths problem. And although the bubbles look completely random, the underlying structure is highly regular and buildable.
Henri Poincaré died 100 years ago today. He is most famous for the conjecture (now theorem) which carries his name and which remained unproven for almost 100 years, until Grigori Perelman announced a proof in 2003. But the famous conjecture isn't all there was to Poincaré.
If it looks like the Higgs... and it smells like the Higgs... have we finally found it? Most physicists agree it's safe to say we've finally observed the elusive Higgs boson. And perhaps that is not all....
Greetings from the beautiful city of Krakow, where the 6th European Congress of Mathematics has opened today! Around 1,000 mathematicians, donning hats, fans and flip-flops to resist the incredibly hot weather, have come together here to chat, share and listen to lectures, and Plus will be reporting from the congress all week.
Word on the particle physics street (a very small street) is that tomorrow's announcement from CERN will be very exciting indeed. Find out what all the excitement is about: what the Higgs boson is, what it does and how to hunt for it.
The Plus team's vehicle of choice is the bicycle, so we're particularly pleased about an announcement that hit the news this month: a clever car mirror that eliminates the dreaded blind spot has been given a patent in the US. The mirror was designed by the mathematician Andrew Hicks, of Drexel University, after years of puzzling over the problem.
On Saturday Alan Turing would have celebrated his 100th birthday. In his short life he revolutionised the scientific world and so 2012 has been declared Turing Year to celebrate his life and scientific achievements. Join the celebrations with these events or by browsing through Plus articles.
On a rainy night last month, in an ancient hall down a hidden alleyway in the centre of London, Bernard Silverman, Chief Scientific Advisor to the Home Office, revealed a surprising secret... ancient mathematics is at the heart of a very modern game of hide and seek.

Jan Ebeling of the United States riding Rafalca competes in the Team Dressage Grand Prix Special on Day 11 of the London 2012 Olympic Games at Greenwich Park on August 7.
The three owners Beth Meyer, Amy Ebeling and Ann Romney watched from the stands as their horse, Rafalca, made her final appearance at the 2012 London Olympic Games. Ridden by Amy's husband, Jan Ebeling, Rafalca's score wasn't enough to make the cut for Thursday's dressage medal event. Only the top 18 move on to the freestyle portion of the competition. They all seemed to enjoy the ride – with Jan tipping his top hat at the end and the three women cheering from the stands.
"It was wonderful. She was elegant and consistent again. We just love her," said Ann Romney.
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has received some criticism for his wife's participation in a sport that many view as only for the wealthy and well-to-do. Ann Romney began riding as therapy to relieve symptoms from multiple sclerosis, which she was diagnosed with in 1998. But the scrutiny has only been positive for the sport of dressage, or "horse ballet" as it is sometimes described. The attention also brought some humor and parody to a sport that may have been too serious in the past. Perhaps the attention on Rafalca will also help those who could benefit from horse riding therapy which is used for people with physical and mental disabilities.

Tips from the experts on making your fitness pledges last in 2011 - or at least past March
Whether galvanized by that shiny new treadmill under the tree, the trial gym membership in your Christmas stocking, or those five pounds you've packed on over the holidays, you're determined to get fit in 2011.
Good luck. Experts know that as surely as Janus, the Roman god who symbolizes New Year's Resolutions, has two faces, most of those January pledges will dissolve by March.
Dr Belisa Vranich, a clinical psychologist in New York City said: "Resolutions fail because they are unrealistic."
Resolvers lose heart, Vranich said, because they "haven't prepared for failure, are not wholehearted about change and lack a support system."
Kristin McGee, a New York-based yoga and Pilates instructor, tells her clients that the difference between success and failure is mindfulness, so know thyself.
"Before starting a spin class at 5am ask yourself honestly if you like getting up that early, and if you like spin," said McGee. "If the answer is no, don't do it."
Fitness, she explains, is not one-size-fits-all.
"Some people are home exercisers; others are great in gym environments. Some like group dynamics, some like one-on-one. Don't be discouraged if it takes you a while to find out what you like best."
Andrea Metcalf, the Illinois-based author of "Naked Fitness," thinks a support system, whether flesh-and-blood or virtual, is crucial to victory.
"Successful people have support," said Metcalf, creator of the "Keeping Fit" DVD series. "Statistics show that one in 10 people can lose weight on their own but group support increases success rates to seven in 10."
So start slowly and hire a professional trainer to help, Metcalf suggests, then "journal, email, tweet, or Facebook your progress."
She said people get discouraged if results don't come immediately.
"They don't believe in themselves. They need to look in the mirror and see the good stuff."
Because so many good intentions founder on the rocks of great expectations, nutritionist and fitness expert Joy Bauer encourages her clients to set what she calls "manageable mini goals," such as losing two pounds in a week, or walking 30 minutes a day.
"I highly recommend that people set short term goals to help them stay on track and build a sense of accomplishment," said Bauer, creator of the "Slimdown Workout" DVD, "rather than set unrealistic goals, like losing 20 pounds in two weeks."
It is a set-up, Bauer says, for disappointment.
Hollywood trainer Erin O'Brien says start with either diet or exercise, but don't try to do both at the outset.
"Then after a few weeks, start tweaking your efforts by adding clean eating and exercise together."
And commit to your routine by scheduling workouts in your daily planner, just as you would any other appointment.
"Give yourself at least two weeks doing one particular workout, then switch to a different type of exercise," O'Brien advises.
"This will continually shock the body."
For that difficult first step, Elisabeth Halfpapp, co-creator of the "Exhale: Core Fusion" DVD series, suggests an introductory class at the local gym or yoga studio.
"If you miss a class or two, just start up again as soon as you can," she said. "Avoid feeling guilty. Life happens."
Or as comedienne Lily Tomlin put it, "The road to success is always under construction."

What is the significance of Black History Month to you?
"I think it's ever changing, isn't it? That's the beauty of it. One of the things we're becoming more and more aware of is that African-American history is just American history. There was a time in which African-American accomplishments and contributions to American history and culture were kind of undervalued and ignored and now it's become part of the everyday experience of American culture in history. And Black history month is becoming a greater celebration of contributions of AA in a much broader sense."
What was the most poignant moment in black history for you?
"I think every day. I think we sometimes forget that history is being made every day by people who aren't famous. We're all constantly making history. I think it's important to not just highlight the "heroes" but to also recognize the people that are doing the work with their heads down. There are moments that are happening that aren't celebrated that are just as important. I think it's important to know that the time is always now."
Growing up, who were the African-American icons that you looked up to for inspiration and why?
"It sounds cliché, but I would say my grandmother. She was a pretty pious and modest person. But she also had strength and courage and her capacity to love. Having grown up in the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, I learned about African American icons through osmosis. It was always "there", and my father was a Black panther. I also think about photographers like James Van Der Zee, and Gordon Parks would be important. Also of importance would be contemporary peers of my mother like James Baldwin."
With your success, Oprah's, and others, where do you see the direction of black history?
"Living in this moment, having a multi-ethnic president of African descent, and recognizing that things that we thought were impossible years ago are a reality today. I would hope that African Americans stop seeing themselves as limited to things that the group is supposed to be good at or care about. Having come back from South Africa and Kenya, recognizing the symbiosis and condensation that has been going on at an international level with African-Americans across the Atlantic, I would like us think about things on a global scale. I think there is a greater connectivity with the history of progress with human evolution that I think African American history often overlooks. We tend to think a little bit about Mendela and apartheid but we really don't pay much attention to African independence and African movements and progress made in the Caribbean and even Europe. I would hope that in the future we stop being so America-centric and see ourselves more as global citizens and realizing that just as Martin Luther King Jr and his peers had gained a lot of their knowledge through global perspectives, looking at Gandhi for example, that we start to think about ourselves in a global context."

Bjarne Stroustrup designed and implemented the C++ programming language. He can be contacted here.
At the July 2009 meeting in Frankfurt, Germany, the C++ Standards Committee voted to remove "concepts" from C++0x. Although this was a big disappointment for those of us who have worked on concepts for years and are aware of their potential, the removal fortunately will not directly affect most C++ programmers. C++0x will still be a significantly more expressive and effective language for real-world software development than C++98. The committee acted with the intent to limit risk and preserve schedule. Maybe a significantly improved version of "concepts" will be available in five years. This note explains the reasons for the removal of "concepts," briefly outlines the controversy and fears that caused the committee to decide the way it did, gives references for people who would like to explore "concepts," and points out that (despite enthusiastic rumors to the contrary) "the sky is not falling" on C++.
No "Concepts" in C++0x
At the July 2009 Frankfurt meeting of the ISO C++ Standards Committee (WG21), the "concepts" mechanism for specifying requirements for template arguments was "decoupled" (my less-diplomatic phrase was "yanked out"). That is, "concepts" will not be in C++0x or its standard library. That -- in my opinion -- is a major setback for C++, but not a disaster; and some alternatives were even worse.
I have worked on "concepts" for more than seven years and looked at the problems they aim to solve much longer than that. Many have worked on "concepts" for almost as long. For example, see (listed in chronological order):
- Bjarne Stroustrup and Gabriel Dos Reis: Concepts -- Design choices for template argument checking. October 2003. An early discussion of design criteria for "concepts" for C++.
- Bjarne Stroustrup: Concept checking -- A more abstract complement to type checking. October 2003. A discussion of models of "concept" checking.
- Bjarne Stroustrup and Gabriel Dos Reis: A concept design (Rev. 1). April 2005. An attempt to synthesize a "concept" design based on (among other sources) N1510, N1522, and N1536.
- Jeremy Siek, Douglas Gregor, Ronald Garcia, Jeremiah Willcock, Jaakko Jarvi, and Andrew Lumsdaine: Concepts for C++0x. N1758==05-0018. May 2005.
- Gabriel Dos Reis and Bjarne Stroustrup: Specifying C++ Concepts. POPL06. January 2006.
- D. Gregor, B. Stroustrup: Concepts. N2042==06-0012. June 2006. The basis for all further "concepts" work for C++0x.
- Douglas Gregor, Jaakko Jarvi, Jeremy Siek, Bjarne Stroustrup, Gabriel Dos Reis, Andrew Lumsdaine: Concepts: Linguistic Support for Generic Programming in C++. OOPSLA'06, October 2006. An academic paper on the C++0x design and its experimental compiler "ConceptGCC."
- Pre-Frankfurt working paper (with "concepts" in the language and standard library): http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2009/n2914.pdf . N2914=09-0104. June 2009.
- B. Stroustrup: Simplifying the use of concepts. N2906=09-0096. June 2009.
It need not be emphasized that I and others are quite disappointed. The fact that some alternatives are worse is cold comfort and I can offer no quick and easy remedies.
Please note that the C++0x improvements to the C++ features that most programmers see and directly use are unaffected. C++0x will still be a more expressive language than C++98, with support for concurrent programming, a better standard library, and many improvements that make it significantly easier to write good (i.e., efficient and maintainable) code. In particular, every example I have ever given of C++0x code (e.g., in Evolving a language in and for the real world: C++ 1991-2006 at ACM HOPL-III ) that does not use the keywords "concept" or "requires" is unaffected. See also my C++0x FAQ. Some people even rejoice that C++0x will now be a simpler language than they had expected.
"Concepts" were to have been the central new feature in C++0x for putting the use of templates on a better theoretical basis, for firming-up the specification of the standard library, and a central part of the drive to make generic programming more accessible for mainstream use. For now, people will have to use "concepts" without direct language support as a design technique. My best scenario for the future is that we get something better than the current "concept" design into C++ in about five years. Getting that will take some serious focused work by several people (but not "design by committee").

Gun measures that 'shouldn't be controversial'
In the wake of last week's massacre in Aurora, most leading Democratic officials, including the nation's top Democratic official, have said almost nothing about gun policy. The conspicuous silence helped reinforce what's been widely assumed: the fight over gun control is no longer a fight at all.
But for his party, President Obama broke his silence last night in New Orleans, speaking to the Urban League, making his first public comments on gun policy in quite a long while. msnbc's "The Ed Show" aired the remarks live.

Sometimes, being in the driver's seat isn't all it's cracked up to be. For millions of drivers, the seats we spend hours in feel like a sore counterpoint to the otherwise pleasant experience of riding in a modern automobile. Uncomfortable, impersonal and primitive, they offer nothing if not room for improvement.
But what if the car seat were smarter—intelligent enough to provide a better driving experience? Accenture Labs is making this a reality by giving the car seat a 21st century makeover. As part of the digital reinvention of industrial manufacturing known as Industry X.0, the team rethought the engineering process behind the humble bucket seat, adopting an intelligence-driven, adaptive design.
Designing a car seat is complicated and can take months to conceptualize and engineer. In fact, it is one of the most complex car systems to design, second only to the engine.
Accenture was challenged to create a new approach to product design that would slash the timeline and bring the car seat into the modern, digital era.
Accenture Labs' three-step approach to product engineering begins with product conceptualization through crowdsourcing and artificial intelligence, progresses with design aided by virtual and augmented reality technologies, and concludes with prototyping that leverages cutting-edge tools to cut costs and time. This approach can make a tremendous impact on the automotive industry, for example, in which the manufacturing process can take as long as 36 months, with prototyping and simulation accounting for one-third of total costs.
"This convergence of a whole spectrum of breakthrough technologies from AI, edge intelligence and extended reality to 3D-printing and advanced analytics in this era of Industry X.0—it's a game-changer for product development."
Managing Director, Digital Experiences R&D Lead, Accenture Labs
Accenture Labs' process began with asking consumers what they want from their ride. Traditional field research takes months. But by harnessing artificial intelligence, crowdsourcing and scraping social media conversations, they gained consumer insights in just a few days.
First, they mined data across major social platforms to find out what people were saying about car seats.
From this, they extracted trends using AI algorithms to paint an accurate picture of the features consumers are actually interested in.
Because a sample size this large yields a vast sum of data, they leveraged human curation to glean meaningful insights. Using Accenture's Digital Talent Broker, they quickly assembled a team of skilled workers with relevant experience to cull through the information and identify the top six problems voiced across social media:
Now armed with an accurate understanding of the problems, Accenture Labs set about working on the solution. The first feature they sought to integrate into the new seat was embedded sensors. These would gather a variety of driver data, like weight, height, posture and body temperature, while also monitoring behavior to inform other systems.
Next came the actual design of the seat itself.
In the past, engineering teams traditionally relied on CAD software for modeling, but these designs only existed as digital schematics. Engineers couldn't interact with the seat or simulate how the sensors would function in the real world without building a physical prototype. But prototyping is an expensive, protracted undertaking: A seat must be fabricated, installed in a vehicle, a professional test driver hired, an obstacle course erected, etc. For each minor refinement to the design, the entire process needs to be restarted. What the team needed was to work in the data it had mined and simulate the functions of the seat sensors before anything was built.
Enter mixed reality.
The designers converted their CAD drawings to 3D, bringing the schematics to life through mixed reality headsets. Specialized software seamlessly solved technical differences between the CAD drawing and 3D model. This "digital double," akin to a hologram, enabled engineers to manipulate the seat in three dimensions and see changes to the model in real time as they're made in the CAD software.
With a fully realized design in hand, engineers at Accenture Labs moved onto prototyping the end-user experience. Using a rudimentary simulator rig and Oculus Rift Virtual Reality headset, engineers simulated the experience of riding in a vehicle outfitted with the new seat. The headset's motion sensors detect the user's position, producing similar telemetry to what can be expected from the embedded sensors designed into the CAD model.
Accenture Labs' innovative car seat prototype, demonstrated at key industry conferences, garnered strong interest from automakers, paving the road for these innovations to add to the safety and comfort of drivers. As Industry X.0 continues to redefine manufacturing with bleeding- edge technology like mixed reality design and virtual prototyping, sectors ranging from the automotive industry to aerospace will see significant disruption and be able to pivot to new business models by deploying new services.
Innovations, such as rear and wing mirrors
that adjust automatically to the driver's height,
ensures optimal views at all time of traffic
and conditions outside the vehicle.
Adaptive design that can detect body
movements, such as when a driver is holding
a phone, to slow the car down accordingly.
Friendly alerts that suggest refreshments when
the seat sensors pick up signs of
possible driver fatigue.
For auto manufacturers, the time and cost savings realized from new seat designs will enable them to develop other innovations and services that can add to the value of the vehicle and their bottom line.

The whole image took about 5-6 hours to complete but done over a series of slow afternoon at work.

Superstorm Sandy made landfall Monday evening on a destructive and deadly path across the Northeast.
NEW YORK -- Sandy split New York City in two.
The massive storm left people damp, miserable and in the dark in the lower part of the city. Yet in much of the rest of Manhattan, life was almost normal, albeit without some of the usual urban comforts.
Almost every street below Times Square in the city's Midtown district lost power on Monday night after an explosion at a Consolidated Edison power station, and it may not return for up to four days. A number of these areas had already been hit by flood waters.
As a result, residents in Lower Manhattan emerged from their homes in search of the necessities of life on Tuesday. Ariel Ramos, 33, waited in the doorway of the Loisada Deli for ice to keep food in his refrigerator from spoiling. "What else you got?" he shouted into the darkened store. "Talk to me. I need stuff!" The clerk said he had no more bread, but he did have eggs. Ramos asked for eggs and a pack of cigarettes. "We have no electricity, no heat and no water," he said.
Further north, restaurants and bars were open for business. With schools and the mass transit system closed, families strolled around taking pictures of felled trees. Burgers and Cupcakes on 35th Street and 9th Avenue was busy. A small crowd grabbed 99-cent slices of pizza on 41st Street, and a bakery called the Little Pie Company had a line 13 people long.
As the worst of the storm hit New York City late on Monday, water poured through streets and into buildings on Manhattan's southern tip, swamping parked cars and cascading through subway stations and tunnels. That was when the power transfer station on 14th street exploded and plunged the lower half of the island into darkness.
Daylight on Tuesday coaxed residents, many of whom were spending a second day away from work, from their homes. Some were jogging or strolling with their dogs, picking their way over downed branches. Young people with cameras took pictures of flooded stores downtown. But for others, sightseeing was the last thing on their mind.
Raymond Torres, who spent the night in his apartment in the Baruch Houses complex, located near the Williamsburg Bridge on Manhattan's Lower East Side, looked hopelessly at his soggy Honda, its interior full of leaves left behind when the water receded. His daughter, Diana, stood ready to take him to her apartment in the Bronx, where there was still power.
For some, the FDR Drive, which runs along Manhattan's east side and which is normally jam-packed with traffic, was a giant park as they strolled among the downed trees and other detritus of the flood. The highway was closed to traffic in both directions, except for emergency vehicles.
Chinatown, where the narrow streets are usually crowded with people and rich with smells of fish and spices, was mostly closed, its jumble of neon signs darkened.
The boundary of the power outage, which varied from east to west, was noticeable not only by its working traffic lights but also by the sudden presence of cooking smells from buildings that still had power. The streets in Midtown Manhattan were drier compared with those farther south.
In Herald Square, at 34th Street and 6th Avenue, a family from France stood in drizzling rain, trying to decide what to do for the day. The museums they wanted to visit were closed.
Florence Buin, visiting from Rennes with her husband and two children, said the family stayed in their Times Square hotel, expecting to have to weather a severe onslaught from the storm, but what they experienced was very mild.
"We were quite surprised," she said. "We were waiting all day long and we saw nothing."
The Broadway musical for which they had tickets on Sunday night was canceled and so was their train trip to Washington on Monday. "In France we say 'a lot of noise for nothing,'" Buin said.
The Upper West Side, a wealthy enclave of Manhattan, did not lose power and only New York's mass transit standstill was keeping people home. Several grocery stores, restaurants and bars were open. Some people were taking pictures of each other in front of a car hit by a fallen tree.
Further south, in front of the Archstone apartment building on 40th Street and 2nd Avenue, a group of 20-somethings with coffee in their hands sat in front of the building charging their iPhones. They said they lived just one block south on 39th Street, where power had been cut off.
Lee Fleischer, a professor at Brooklyn College who lives in the Murray Hill neighborhood of Manhattan, was canvassing the streets trying to find D batteries for his flashlight. The price of two batteries, which normally cost around $5, had been jacked up to as much as $15 in the few neighborhood bodegas that were open despite the loss of power. "They can get away with this very easily," he said. "They are exploiting their customers and the community, though."
At La Delice Pastry Shop, in nearby Kips Bay, the price for a cup of coffee had been raised from $1 to $3. A store clerk said the reason was that they had to use bottled water to make the coffee.
In Manhattan's Lower East Side, Thea Lucas, 87, who lives alone, said she had come down from her apartment to warm herself up with a walk and to feed seven cats in her street she feels responsible for. "Cats are survivors. They all waited for me at the usual spot even though I came out much later today than I usually do."
"I'm lucky to have gas; I can make hot water. But there is no heating and I'm all cold inside." She said the night was difficult without electricity. "There is nothing to do at home. You cannot read with a flash light, I used to do that but I'm not 20 anymore."
Oil slicks
Across the Brooklyn Bridge, it was a similar story, with low-lying areas still struggling on Tuesday while on the higher ground life was getting back to normal.
Brooklyn's Gowanus canal, which was a pale green color on Monday, had turned black. Receding waters had left oil slicks on the streets and sidewalks. Wood and other debris marked the high water mark, more than a block away from the canal.
A brick house located just west of the canal on Carroll Street had steam rising from its foundation. A man who said he was a resident but wouldn't provide his name said the basement had filled with water from the canal in the night, and now the electrical wiring was steaming. He said the fire department told him it would not come unless the structure was physically on fire. "I'll wait, and then it'll go up like a tinderbox," he said.
The Brooklyn Navy Yard, which now houses small businesses as well as a dock, was covered in about a foot of water. At the peak of the storm, it was 5 feet high. "There were 17 of us trying to pump out the docks when the pump room flooded," said Nigel Friday, 36.
The pump room is on three levels about 50 feet underground and workers were on all three levels trying to keep the water from hitting electrical components with sandbags, Friday said. "Then water started gushing in through the entrance we took to enter the pump room," he said. "That's when we had to drop everything and run out the other way. It was like a movie."
Higher up, Park Slope, a section of Brooklyn popular with young families, was largely saved from harm. A few branches had fallen on the street, and some store front awnings had been stripped off by heavy winds, but that was about the worst of it.
People were strolling about, bars and restaurants were open, albeit with limited menus. Thistle Hill Tavern on 15th street in Brooklyn, was offering "Frankenstorm" drink specials.
Nearby, in Brooklyn's Prospect Park, massive felled oak, maple and sycamore trees lay across walking and bicycle paths. A police vehicle driving the park's interior road announced over a loud speaker that the park was closed, yet area residents poured in. Children climbed on downed trees, and runners weaved through the many strollers and dog walkers.

Rooney Mara in "Tanner Hall" trailer, images
By Sean O'Connell
Hollywoodnews.com: Anchor Bay sent us assets for its upcoming teen drama "Tanner Hall," a film that stars Rooney Mara ("The Social Network") Brie Larson and Georgia King as a student in an all-girls boarding school.
The trailer is below:
Directors Francesca Gregorini and Tatiana von Furstenberg appear to have come up with a delicate, difficult coming-of-age story with hints of a darkness laying beneath the surface. The film has been around since 2009, which might explain the presence of Amy Sedaris and Chris Kattan. It had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival that year, but now will be distributed by Anchor Bay on Sept. 9.
We also have a few images from the film, including the poster. What do you think? Will you check it out?

When young Dr. Barry Laverty arrives in Ballybucklebo to begin as a doctor's assistant to Dr. Fingal Flahertie O'Reilly, the first thing he encounters is the massive doctor literally throwing one of his patients out of the door and into the bushes. An unorthodox introduction, but the start of the kind of learning that you don't get in school. With a cast of eccentric characters that you would likely find in any pub, this is a story about community and service. Rules may be broken and textbooks left in the dust, but healing happens here, one way or another. The story takes off immediately as patients are seen and lessons are learned about how to practice medicine in a small town, use of placebos notwithstanding. Kinky Kincaid, the glue of the household, is the wise and sensible housekeeper who keeps things running smoothly despite the madcap capers of the old doctor and his apprentice. And she's really good at getting mud out of pants. Throw in a killer cat and an alcoholic dog, and the book takes off by itself!
The novel has a real feel because the author was born and raised in the area and is a doctor himself.
The book doesn't hold much intrigue or many surprises but the lyrical nature of the book and the charm of the setting carries it through and it had just enough rough edges in it to keep it out of the "fluff" category for me. I probably won't read another installment just yet (yes there are more in the series!), but I will remember it when I next need a medicinal dose of a chuckle and a pint!

It all started with a song, an instrumental created with a Playstation by Canadian musician Jim Guthrie, it seems.
Speaking to NOW Magazine, Guthrie explains how he went from days creating music for Three Gut Records to working with a team of five on what would become iPad gaming darling Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery – EP. Guthrie said the Superbrothers sent him a pixel art postcard in 2003 or so and he responded with a bunch of instrumental Playstation music. Fast forward two years and the team came back to him to work on the music for what would become Sword & Sworcery. And that Playstation music, it remained important.
"The Playstation music I sent Craig years ago hugely informed the game's early stages of development and we actually used a few of those compositions," Guthrie told the mag. "As Craig and Kris added more ideas to the pot I made more music inspired by those ideas and Jon and Frankie stitched it all together with 1s and 0s. Toward the end Capy's own Sean Lorhrisch swooped in to smooth out all the audio levels and add extra SFX."
The end result was a game meant to be a role-playing walk through of an album.
"The name of the app is Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery – EP because we always intended for the music to be a core element of the game experience," he said. "It's an album you can "walk through." Because of that I wrote the music with an album in mind. "
And now the music for the game that is album is getting it's own album release, set to hit iTunes later this week.

Speaking to The Shining Wizards Wrestling Podcast, Jerry Lynn looked back at his career before his final Ring of Honor match at Final Battle. Highlights from the interview are as follows:
On his run with WCW and the creation of Mr. J.L.: "Brad Rheingans had ties with them, and he had asked me to come to his camp and help train the session he had at the time, and I asked him "It's been seven years, what do I have to do to get a break?" And Brad said, "Well, it's all changed, it's TV now, you have to come up with something visual." So I had an idea in my mind before he mentioned that, 'cause I'd been going to Japan quite a bit for Universal Pro and Michinoku, and saw a lot of cool masks, and no one was doing that in the states.
"And at the time the Power Rangers were pretty popular on TV so I thought I'd come up with something similar to that but not exactly like it. And they (WCW) said that was exactly what they were looking for. So when I showed them the outfit, they brought me in, but they gave me such a lame name. But I was probably the last thing they had on their minds, because they had a lot of heavy hitters, with the NWO and stuff. I would tell people, no, that's Jushin Liger.
His time in ECW: "It was ironic that I even went to ECW because when I was living in Atlanta wrestling for WCW I'd get together at my buddy's place and watch ECW, and I always swore up and down that was one company that I would never work for. I was watching Balls and Sandman trading chair shots, then they'd hit each other with anything the fans handed over the rail; frying pans, Super Nintendos, and microwave ovens. It was crazy. But I ended up there anyway...
"I had a tryout match in WWF with Taka Michinoku, and when that aired, Paul E. knew I wasn't with WCW anymore, and he had Chris Candido hunt me down. He asked me if I wanted to do a couple shots. So I was like OK, this is what I want, and one more thing: I don't want some idiot hitting me in the head with a frying pan. It worked out alright at first, but then I wound up getting clocked in the head with that kendo stick, a few chairs here and there, and I don't know how many tables I went through, and how many Van Daminators I took."
On working with Justin Credible and taking the next step: "At first, I would come up with ideas involving here and there, tables and who knows what else, and I always asked permission first, and I'd get shot down. And finally, Justin and I had a 2-out-of-3 falls match at the Arena, and I told Justin before the show that we're not going to ask permission to do anything out there. We're just going to go out there and do what we do. And after that, everything changed. I was just tired of being held back. I had more freedom."
Working with Rob Van Dam: "The first time I wrestled Rob, I came back through the curtain, my nose was bleeding, my lip was bleeding, I had blood coming out of my shoulder, my head was stuck turned to the side, and Al Snow sees me and said "you look like you've been through a war," and I looked at him and said "it's not supposed to be like this!" It's funny, Rob and I played rough, and it seems like every match either he or I or both of us got popped open. And the more they (the fans) were digging it, and the louder and rowdier they are, the harder we worked."
The creation of the "New F'N Show" moniker: "This is the coolest thing. I never could never think up a weird, wacky gimmick for myself, you know, some show biz name or anything like that. And in Asbury Park at Living Dangerously, I think it was Rob and I in his first PPV match, after a series of moves, one whole section of the crown started chanting 'New F'N Show.' And the name just stuck. It was kinda cool that the fans gave me that name."
On the current state of pro wrestling: "When you have the bookers and storywriters hired from Hollywood, and they know absolutely nothing about wrestling, it becomes, you know, what do you do? When I do seminars, I tell guys watch older wrestling from the 80s. It was working, they must've done something right. Like in the earlier days of TNA, I liked the way they were furthering storylines. When I was in the feud with AJ Styles, we would do stuff like one of us would jump the other in catering, and we're fighting over tables and stuff instead of going to the ring and having a Def Comedy Jam with microphones. It's ridiculous.
"There's so many times with guys out there sounding like two kids on a playground going 'my dad can beat up your dad.' If you're really pissed off and you're serious, and you're in a built up feud and there's heat, you're like alright, s--t's on, let's go. That's why I miss the old NWA days where the Four Horsemen followed Dusty into the parking lot of the TV studio and jumped him. Stuff like that. Or when Eddie Gilbert and Tommy Rich in the USWA, Tommy Rich just bloodied him and Eddie came out and apologized, he had tears in his eyes, a heartfelt apology, and then he turned on him again. It was brilliant. Old school worked. Old school psychology will still work, you just fit the fancy new moves like a piece in the puzzle, where they make sense. Otherwise it's just a stunt exhibition.
"There's a lot of guys that are in this to prove how tough they are. It's not about that. If you do this for any significant amount of time, you're gonna lose. The human body wasn't made for this whatsoever... Brad Rheingans, the guy who trained me, told me the secret to having a good match every time is if you and your opponent go out there and try to make each other look like a million bucks. But now it's so many guys that are like 'I wanna get this in.' It's all me-me-me. And when I'm gonna be in there with someone like that I'm just like 'oh, God, this is gonna be like pulling teeth' and 'am I gonna get out of this alive?' and all, and they forget the show isn't about one person, it's a team effort."
If there was anyone he didn't look forward to working with: "I'll have to admit, Rob and I were practically married it seemed for a couple of years there, and there were some nights I just wanted an easy night. And when I saw my name with Rob I was like 'oh, boy.' 'Cause he wasn't going to let up, I wasn't going to let up, we were wrestling each other three nights in a row on a weekend, it was crazy, and all those house show matches were PPV matches, I think."
If the future includes opening a wrestling school: "That's a tough gig. You gotta have a building, you gotta have a ring, you gotta have insurance in case someone gets hurt. Most people who wanna get into wrestling don't have money. I wouldn't want to put someone on a payment plan 'cause who's to say they won't quit after a few weeks and then run around and say Jerry Lynn trained me, and they're the drizzling s--ts. So I'd collect all the money up front, but no one has money. So that's a tough gig."
